you can flash the fisaco kernel right away. Personally tho, i use titan's custom kernel and change the oc values through xterminal, plus it allows me to edit voltage usage levels as well. Also I hear that ist more compatible with pr 1.2 .I'm a noob at terminal, but pushing myself to use it has greatly increased my comfort level with it,

that command only works if you oc using titan's custom kernel. if u oc'd by just flashing fiasco's then conky is the best, open some apps, and then open conky. it should show ur max cpu speed. i think its showing 500 because thats your lower limit.

you need to install 'Enhanced linux kernel for power users' and then install the settings after that, then refer to this gudie here, for the xterminal commands:

glad to hear that you flashed successfully, sorry for the late reply, something came up last night. if you flash the eMMC as well, only then is it a full wipe. if you haven't installed anything much yet, its advisable lar, but don't forget to backup contacts, etc. No issue if your set is AP or ORI, only thing i've heard is that for some some ap sets, need to install the firmware specific to its region if you're not using the Global file. cheers!

aiks, so soreeeee bro, made a mistake, this app can only disable the nokia hands video, if you wanna change boot video, you need to install 'Bootscreen Manager' from AppManager, sorry for the mixup,

Added on June 11, 2010, 12:03 pmdoes this method support other video formats???

This post has been edited by porselinaheart: Jun 11 2010, 12:03 PM

have you installed the extra media player codecs??

Hehe, yeah got quite a list of apps, i'm an ex symbian user, so quite spoiled cos i'm used to being able to do everything on my phone, luckily most are optified so they don't clog up my root, but need to otpify manually a few app folders ( reading up on that now, )

@Eiraku: Bro, could you share the link to where you saw instructions for underclocking/undervolting when screen is locked, thanks!

got a link for the fix?? maybe i can try to get it working for 1.2

+1

its the reason i finally check my email, and have my accounts on my phone. got killed last time with my n82 using the integrated inbox,

after experiencing severe battery drain resulting in my batt dying midday finally figured out what was sucking my n900 dry. Its that damn facebook widget its a battery hungry bugger. Without it running, i can last the whole day now,

even when not connected , i used to keep it open ( the scrolling status updates look cool ), but even that killed my batt.

hehe, since you're interested in Android, and have a spare n900, check out www.nitdroid.com, they've managed to get eclair ( 2.1 ) working except for sound and the phone fucntions.


and here's the thread at talk.maemo :

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=49811

currently back to OC 900 mHz, Tried out both 950 mHz and 100mHz for a few days. Not much difference except under heavy multi-tasking so considering making 950 my standard oc now. On 1gHz don't really feel much difference from 950, so i'll stay away for that for now. Using ulv and xlv , titan's kernel. Anybody been running their baby at 1gHz steadily??? I noticed i finally got noticable battery heat buildup on 1gHz if i use heavy wifi. but no real processing improvements over 950.
