Reflashed Lehto's kernel now, it's just running perfect.
Would really like to see a 500-810 Lehto kernel.

i used that too, no edits or anything, just install,

i hope that Lehto's kernel is compatible with PR 1.2 (i think it is, i read somewhere here)

im on 125-1000mhz/500mhz, running smooth

I have kernel-power-flasher installed and am running Beecon to change the frequency to 1150MHz.

Question, will using Beecon and the setting (echo "echo 1150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" | sudo gainroot) allow the kernel to self scale? Or does it force the cpu frequency to stay at 1150MHz at all times?

Edit: I mean, will the Beecon script keep rerunning itself so that it will always make the cpu clock stay that high.

Beecon widget will do what you tell it to do. How did you set it up? You can set when it performs the script. (during widget start, click, desktop switch, time interval)

To answer your question, no, it does not "lock" the cpu at such frequency permanently.

here's my screenshot using the queen beecon widgets down the bottom. (7 of them in 1 desktop. lol)

More info about what they are HERE.

nice desktop you got there.... the first time i saw that becon of yours i also start using it. love that idea of changing to diffrent kernel settings.
question... does it apply automatically when pressed? love that.... can u share the codes? thanks...

My widget does not look like that at all (it's just hive or snippet), and I don't know where to find in the settings how to change when it performs the script.

I understand that I can set up multiple widgets to choose which script to run (which is AWESOME), but I just don't know how to make it so that it's a one time deal (as in, it only runs the script once, when I click on it). I'm not even sure i'm making sense. My sleep schedule is effed.

Edit: After I run the script to get it to 1150, it stays there. The beecon that tells me the clock speed stays at 1150. Sometimes it'll drop down to 500, but it then immediately jumps back up to 1150, even when idling. Is that just how it is? I was hoping that the clock change was automatically scalable. Is it not, or is the OC widget just rerunning itself all of the time?

Here is my beecon export for stock snippet.

Now to use this, copy the above to the N900 clipboard, then create a new beecon widget, go to settings window, then click Advanced on right, click yes,then go down to the bottom, then click paste in top center, then click import on the right side, click yes. then go out. you will now have imported my exact beecon settings. Feel free to use your own script as the above script just sets it to default. (default voltages and 250-600 cpu) make sure you have kernel power settings package installed from app manager to take advantage of titan's kernel and my above widget.

UPDATE:
- You will need rootsh 1.5 installed for my above command to work. (not the 1.8 which is in extras-devel)

Awesome! The widget works perfectly.

One last question (hopefully), how do I change the settings so that I don't get a checksum error? I'm trying to set it to ideal instead of default, and also want to make a widget to oc it to 1150, but it gives me a checksum error.

When i want to run it at 1150, I just replace the line in instanceCMD to echo "echo 1150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" | sudo gainroot, don't I

Thanks again, you're really helping my navigate my way around.

Why it does not want to go higher? I am using Titans kernel-power, IDEAL config, just edited max frequency. I know I did everything OK, becouse I can control it for lower clocks, but if I use 1200MHZ it is 1150, if I use 1300 MHZ it is 1150...If I use 1000 it is 1000.

I did like this:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2718

What is this limitation? I would like at least 1200 MHz not 1150...

Thank you for help!

PS: even if I try this method it gives me 1150 MHz:
sudo gainroot
echo 1200000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
