did you follow http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#U....3C_maemo24.29 ?
uname -r: 2.6.28.10maemo-omap1
hmm... right... maybe i had a version before 24, not sure...
kernel-power-flasher already newest
kernel-flasher-maemo now removed
pmconfig is/was default

ah^^ kernel-load ideal now working (boah, what lame after used to live @1GHz^^) uuups... kernel values say 1150? ill make an stress-test in near future
And UMTS-Networking is alive agin, too - great!

hmm, conky seems not to see the umts connection "really" and the cpu seems not to switch to less than 500MHz even at a load of 4%... not sure that i like my cpu being in idle mode @500MHz..
[edit: this morning i got a look @250MHz, but the phone still likes to idle @500Mhz?]

Maybe another pack of tipps?^^

ThanX for resolving the prob of umts - real "mobile" computing was one of the biggest reasons for buing N900...
And for your great job on kernel and OCn

For sure I will build a newer source with the ULV settings in future when a newer source is available... but what comes to the 125mhz - XXXmhz, they wont happen. I wont be going back to the tacky 125 or 250mhz idle speeds. They reduce a lot of response from the machine.
thanks.....im currently using your kernels from the "safe zone" (i think 700mhz-850mhz/450dsp).

i also have your unsafe kernels up to 1ghz/500dsp just in case i need them or if its winter.

but i tried and flashed throughout your kernels and my device is pretty solid.

I'm just building another kernel package w/o this patch and w/o OC support.
It would appreciate if you can test it as well to narrow down the problem.
the kernel w/o 2.6.28.10 patches and w/o OC support is here (please install in the given order)

I've created the following script to automatically manage my OC settings according to battery temperature (e.g. poor man's smartreflex)

When the temperature is above 45 degrees, I revert to the default nokia kernel, no high speed, no undervolatage (transistors need more voltage at high temperature).
If the temperature is between 35 and 45 degrees I run titan's ideal settings limited to 850 Mhz.
If the temperature is below 35 degrss, I allow it to run at 1000GHz with very low voltages (20 ......25.........48)

It probes the temperature every 30 sec.

The batch reads (you will have to point it to your configuration files instead of my ideal850 and lv-ideal1000)

#!/bin/sh
set old=""
while test 2 -gt 1;
do
modprobe bq27x00_battery
read tmpr </sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp
if test $tmpr -gt 45;
then new="/usr/share/kernel-power-settings/default";
else
if test $tmpr -gt 35;
then new="/usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal850";
else new="/usr/share/kernel-power-settings/xlv-ideal1000";
fi
fi
if test $old!=$new;
then /usr/sbin/kernel-load $new
fi
old=$new
sleep 30
done

Place it in some directory which allows you to execute it from (I use /home/opt/dynamicOC)

make it an executable (e.g. chmod +x filename)
Execute it (/home/opt/dynamicOC/dynamicOC.sh &)

ideal setting have the min freq set to 500MHz because it actually save battery (at least on my device, and I think on Titan's one too)

Hmm, wiki speaks different.
but at ideal kernel i read also about 125MHz - and somewhere in the thread titan had imho written about no 125MHz setting?
maybe the wiki isnt up to date....
but meanwhile i´m sure that i saw a "250" in Conky (even not for long)

So it is just a bit as searching something in the fog...

Just installed, and it's not picking up my AP.

Could you please read this sentence again?

"the kernel w/o 2.6.28.10 patches and w/o OC support is here (please install in the given order)"

Read w/o as without and OC as over clock and you'll get it.
