Incidentally, a day after I asked the above question, my N900 is now dead as dead can be.

I'm guessing eMMC/rootFS corruption as the N900 simply gets stuck in the loading screen after the Nokia logo at boot, although I COULD flash the rootFS.

So, this related to rootFS / eMMC data write corruption due to undervolting? Because I can say that this is the first time I've seen an N900 die DUE TO USE rather than being dropped or anything.

...I think - and Titan may think finally - new challenges are up; the "fCamera" does not seem to run with Titans v37 kernel; and who is willing to miss the extra power Titan gave us taking DNG RAW pictures; Titan - your turn ;-)

Possibly related. Hard to say. Technically, you can't say it died as you can revive it fairly easily.
But yeah, I don't recommend too much undervolting. It's the same as too high frequency.
If the cpu can't handle the frequency at its given voltage / heat, it will start generating too much errors.

I cannot install Enhanced kernel (nor the settings)

It gives me a message "conflic of the aplication packets" (or something like that - Im translating from polish )
Under the specifications menu (still - or something like that )it is listed that the problems are with kernel-modules-maemo and kernel-maemo.
I have pretty much clean system, some apps and games (also rootsh)..

Any ideas?

I am new to this forum as i just got my N900 today. I have been reading the progress of this thread when it started but have not kept myself updated with the progress recently.

So sorry if my question seems dumb. Please bear with me.

I am aware that the N900 stock frequency is 600MHz and the minimum frequency is set at 250MHz.

I would like to know if it is possible to keep the same stock frequency but drop the minimum frequency to 125MHz. Which kernel should i use to get the desired results?

Also will doing this help increase the battery life?

N900 has a "stock" configuration, with a minimum of 250 and a maximum of 600.

If you want to configure 125-600, it's possible, but:

a) 125 was disabled by Nokia due to instability
b) phone sleeps at 0, not at 250. Lowering to 125 will only make it drag its feet
c) these and more answers in the wiki.
d) battery gain is minimal, if not negative.

If I overclock using this tutorial "http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=595582&postcount=774"

Will I still be able to use the AM and updater?

Didn't I just answer this identical question in another thread? Please don't post the same inquiry in more than one place. We read this stuff and we don't need to read the same stuff over and over. We already see the same questions over and over anyway, because newbies post the same questions again and again even without your help

The conflicting packages message is probably because you also installed Fcam. This problem, caused by Fcam, has already been fixed by our hero Titan. I'm not sure where the fix is other than in the thread about Fcam and Titan's kernel, but I'm sure it will be available soon in the normal App Man place, if it isn't already.

Sorry I didn't notice. I didn't receive the email telling me that you had replied to my post.

... and I wanted to post in this one since this is the main overclocking thread but mistakenly posted on the other since the thread titles were so similar.
