Can you run and understand kernel-config show
so you know what your current settings are?
Think i got it working freqs now correct and clock speeds adjusting automatically according to battery temp , just needed to create own file called default with my freqs and save to .kernel folder so loads at boot , adjusted overclock file to my preferred freqs etc and all working fine

yo everyone!

i notice a bit of difference in the ondemand and conservative governors.

in conservative, my battery produces less heat and the device is even more responsive.

so conservative scales and stays on the freq that the n900 needs. e.i if an app needs 700mhz, the cpu's freq will stay at that freq until idle.

i also notice. when im using the Ideal setting, the freq stays most @550mhz. is someone here agree with me?

Hmm.I'm also using Ideal and I see I'm at 550 now so you may be right. I don't understand the benefits of different governor settings well. I just picked Conservative because it sounds stingy with power.

Cool! I'll have to try that. I swap batteries often so I suppose battery temp changes a lot.

i love that conservative governor as well. the scaling between freqs is smooth. if the phone is idle, the freq will scale down smoothly passing all available freqs and when in motion, it scales up all available freqs until the desired freq.

unlike ondemand, at a glance of stress, it jumps to the highest freq needed by the device!

so to change from ondemand to conservative i just edit config as such by changing governor fron ondemand to conservative ?


# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - CREATE A COPY OF IT FOR CUSTOMIZATION
# minimum frequency to use
MINFREQ=500
# maximum frequency to use
MAXFREQ=850
# list of frequency configurations: each "frequency:volt,dsprate"
FREQS="500:31,360 550:34,400 600:37,430 700:40,430 750:43,430 805:46,430 850:49,500"
SMARTREFLEX_VDD1=0
SMARTREFLEX_VDD2=0
GOVERNOR=conservative
UP_THRESHOLD=75
SAMPLING_RATE=150000
IGNORE_NICE_LOAD=1
POWERSAVE_BIAS=0

So you're saying you want some wine with it?

Well nice to have cheese without wine for a change around here...

in my experience molten cheese run quite slowly...
but If you want to have some wine try this

Tried OC mine yesterday using "ideal" profile... seemed to work fine (browser, media player, etc...) until I tried to browse photos: Photos started to have color errors where bottom parts had some color overlay/hue. (Almost like using highlighter to paint some part on the bottom.) It also seem the overlay color was pretty random between the pictures.

Also the thumbnails in the picture browser got updated with these corrupt pictures... and icons of "broken photos" as well as got notices of "unable to open" when trying to open some pictures...

Then I decided to go back to original (simple reboot) to see if the file system got corrupted. After reboot I can see all my pictures in device that I can still access correct without artifacts. I copied them over to my PC just to make sure I'm not losing anything important.

Still the picture thumbnails show the corrupted versions after reboot. If I open them to view they do show up properly. I think I need to somehow refresh the thumbnails, but dunno how to do that?

Just curious if anyone else noticed problems wiht the photos app while everythng else seemed fine?

EDIT: Tried again with "LV" profile and it seem to work OK now... Maybe my N900 is not quite capable for "ideal".
