definately if there is a better guide of course it will be added to the frontpage
Here's the much promised Titan Kernel Tut:
STEP 1: GET TITAN'S KERNEL
1) Enable Extras-Devel repos
2) Search for Enhanced Kernel (currently at version 38)
3) Install the Enhanced Kernel Settings package (it will automatically install the kernel)
4) Say yes to the "are you sure you want to risk borking your N900" question.
5) Restart after installation.
STEP 2: SET OVERCLOCKING
1) Go into xterminal
2) Make sure you have installed the rootsh package
3) As usual, start with "sudo gainroot"
Next:
CODE
kernel-config show
To show the current config, which should be 250-600mhz, normal stock config. You would wanna save this to stock by typing the below.
CODE
kernel-config save Stock
You now have the "Stock" profile to return to if everything goes wrong. Now to load profile type:
CODE
kernel-config load ulv
For a battery saving ULV profile
CODE
kernel-config load ideal
For a faster, overclocked 500-850mhz profile
Profiles to choose between:
a) ulv - Normal battery saving, normal clock.
b) ideal - Balanced, overclock
c) xlv - More battery saving, underclock.
d) starving - Most battery saving, normal clock.
Also, you can set your OWN clock speeds after choosing a profile by typing:
CODE
kernel-config limits <lower CPU limit> <upper CPU limit>
For instance "kernel-config limits 500 900". This will clock whatever profile you have loaded before to 500mhz lower limit and 900mhz upper limit. IDEAL ONLY IS OPTIMISED FOR A 500MHZ LOWER LIMIT, all the other profiles accept 250mhz.
After setting the clock speed limits, type:
CODE
kernel-config save <whatever name you want>
And load your OWN config as default by typing:
CODE
kernel-config default <whatever name you want>
If ever you need to set it back to normal, type:
CODE
kernel-config default Stock
STEP 3: ON THE FLY OVERCLOCKING
1) Get the files in the zip below, unzip somewhere on your computer.
CPUControl.zip ( 690bytes ) Number of downloads: 18
MIRROR:
http://hotfile.com/dl/45149192/1a55994/CPUControl.zip.html2) In each file (overclock, underclock, default) as per your needs, edit the part below with notepad in your computer:
CODE
Exec=sudo kernel-config load <insert profile name you want here>
3) Copy the files (using MC, xterm or WinSCP) to:
CODE
/usr/share/applications/hildon/
4) Place the shortcuts on your desktop.
5) <OPTIONAL> Create 3 48x48 PNG icons named uc.png, oc.png and def.png and put them in /usr/share/icons/scalable/hildon/ if you want icons for the shortcuts.
I'll be back tomorrow for the QBW widgets, which is actually the least hard part next to installing the kernel.
EDIT: Added mirror.
@andy: I did? Can't remember edi, lol.
