I think you can modify Titan's kernel !?
Not sure, I'm using Lehto's 800 Mhz ulv atm.

are you running pr 1.1?? I'm on 1.1.1 does that matter? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong sry if I'm turning this into a whinefest lol I'm doing everything right and it doesn't work........

Those are functions in the vi program.
: is required for commands. Plus (if I remember correctly) it forces write and quit (in the case of ":wq")

if this is correct and current = approx frequency * voltage^2 then
Code:
stock:
1e = 0.975V x 125 MHz = 119
26 = 1.075V x 250 MHz = 289
30 = 1.200V x 500 MHz = 720
36 = 1.275V x 550 MHz = 894
3c = 1.350V x 600 MHz = 1094
3c = 1.350V x 720 MHz = 1312
overclocked:
3c = 1.350V x 750 MHz = 1367
3c = 1.350V x 810 MHz = 1476
3c = 1.350V x 850 MHz = 1549
3c = 1.350V x 900 MHz = 1640
3c = 1.350V x 950 MHz = 1731
ideal kernel:
1e = 0.975V x 500 MHz = 475
21 = 1.012V x 550 MHz = 564
26 = 1.075V x 600 MHz = 693
2d = 1.163V x 700 MHz = 946
2d = 1.163V x 750 MHz = 1014
30 = 1.200V x 810 MHz = 1166
30 = 1.200V x 850 MHz = 1224
36 = 1.275V x 900 MHz = 1463
36 = 1.275V x 950 MHz = 1544
3c = 1.350V x 1000 MHz = 1823
43 = 1.438V x 1100 MHz = 2273
48 = 1.500V x 1150 MHz = 2588
so 810@ideal approx 600@stock

Yup...though of course it is the idle time which would have the biggest impact, which is what you are increasing by increasing the frequency. So while running, your calculations make sense but in reality, ideal@810 should consume less power than stock.

sure. it's just the max. current that could damage the chip. so the damage would not be larger than with 600@stock.

Ah yes, make sense

just OC'd mine,

the re-flash took 'bout 1.5 secs only. I thought the re-flash was unsuccessful, but according to healthcheck app, my device is running at Freq 800MHz.

does this mean the OC is a success?

A similar relationship exists for heat generated as well...so serious OC would probably kill the chip due to excess heat.

Even the Droid guys have come to the same conclusion that c. 800MHz is the maximum safe frequency to operate this chip.

By the way, battery life improvement by running ideal kernel within [500,850] is quite remarkable.
