Installing the kernel should not affect your apps or settings.
A backup before installation (and in general) is always recommend.
I don't have PR1.2 but it don't see any reason why it could break OTA.
it should be safe. In the worst case you can revert to the stock kernel before upgrading.
The OTA upgrade will overwrite the custom kernel.
If you want keep the custom kernel, make sure you reflash it immediately after
the OTA upgrade using "apt-get install --reinstall kernel-maemo kernel-flasher-maemo"

When PR 1.2 comes out, will I still be able to update OTA?

Titan,
I've installed your kernel and successfully ran the oc command clocked @800mhz. It works, as reported by Conky.
However, it seems to be reverting back to 600mhz max after some period of time, without rebooting. It's just changing back of its own volition. I realize in your OP that you state it is not permanent, and will revert to the default upon reboot... But mine is doing it while running.
Have you or any other users noticed the same thing, with this kernel? Or is this just user error?
Thanks

so the only way to fix it permanently is to change the file.

Thanks for the feedback though.

I run >24h at 1000Hz. It is great.
For safe testing with /etc/pmconfig
I did following:
1. cp /etc/pmconfig /etc/pmconfig.bak
2. echo "cp -r /etc/pmconfig.bak /etc/pmconfig" >> /bootmenu.sh
3. edit /etc/pmconfig
4. reboot with closed keyboard. If device will not boot reboot with open keyboard....

thanks. I'm also running it permanently on my device and it works flawlessly

not necessary. If I had severe ego problems I would switch to MeEgo
I just wish more users would vote for it (after testing) so that it can finally go to extras
to be accessible to more people.
Hopefully that would convince Nokia to add some its features to the stock kernel.
Anyway.. I didn't know about this voting thing. I just registered a garage account and voted it up. Do I need to do that each update?

In case anyone isn't following the overclocking thread (pretty high traffic), if you're looking for even more performance (at the potential cost of some battery life, though I haven't observed any diference so far), try this (copied from my post there):
By default, the ondemand governor is very aggressive about when it cycles up (waits for 95% load), and can have a significant latency of up to 300ms. This means if you saturate your CPU, your average wait for frequency increase is 150ms (0-300ms).
This change cuts that time in half, and lowers the bar for how much load is needed before committing.
It may affect battery life slightly (more frequent sampling, more aggressive cycle-up), but gives a yet more snappy feel. It may have no effect (or even lower battery consumption) by minimizing unneeded time at high cycle rates (responding to drop in load more quickly). Try it out!
If you want to make it permanent, just do this:
In case anyone is wondering "why on started xsession?" .. it's because at some point late in the bootup, the ondemand scheduler is selected by something and I'm not sure what. When it's set, it resets the values. So I just wait a bit.
Perfect complement to any overclocking kernel.
Code:
echo 75 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold echo 150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate

Code:
cat > /etc/event.d/ondemand-config << EOF
start on started xsession
console output
script
echo 75 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold
echo 150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate
end script
EOF
Perfect complement to any overclocking kernel.
I have two (noob) questions:
If I use this custom kernel, will it delete all of my existing apps/settings?
When PR 1.2 comes out, will I still be able to update OTA?
Thanks for compiling this for the community, regardless of the answers.
Cheers and please advise,
