OK, I play classical guitar.

This is a quote that relates to a jamming session with a rock band as the guitarist on the morning after a heavy night. Having trouble tuning up. Gives up, says C.E.F.R'n'R and hits the overdrive pedal.

Any guesses ?

Ok, the combined battery/overclock applet has been posted on the http://bryandeluca.com/cacko/c3000 page.

FYI, the link is broken in the mentioned page (the <A HREF="qtopia-combinedbatteryapplet_1.0.5_arm.ipk> tag probably misses a closing </A> tag), but one can still get the file by pasting the file name at the end of the page URL...

Thanks, missed that, FireFox is just too tolerant.... you didn't expect me to test with IE did you ?

[fastscirocco]

OK I've searched and read and can't figure out how you do a NAND back-up
on the C3000.

TRIsoft's manual specifically says that you can't do a NAND restore on the C3000.

But yet the first rule before trying a new rom is do a NAND back-up!


ummm, anybody see my dilema?



Thanks

OK, you can NAND backup the 3000 but that only takes an image of the Flash.

If you want a stateful backup of the entire thing then this is what I would recommend.

1. Upgrade to Sharp ROM 1.11JP if you haven't already - your restore point will be to Sharp ROM 1.11JP. Keep the upgrade software handy, that's the main part of your restore process.

2. NAND backup if you like, you are unlikely to need it for a Cacko 3K test because we don't modify partition sizes. A Sharp Install will overwrite anything that we did.

3. User backup your 3000 to produce the Sharp backup that can be copied off. This will store any English conversion that your vendor may have provided.

4. Copy the Sharp udpate, NAND image and backup to a CD for archive purposes. - just in case you rebuild your desktop whilst testing or something - do it now whilst everything is to hand.

Restore to your Sharp ROM would therefore consist of..

1. NAND restore - probably not needed as previously mentioned.

2. Sharp update process, this will install the Sharp Kernel, zImage and hdd1 etc.

3. Zero the device (OK menu, options 3+1).

4. User restore from the Sharp backup you previously took.

Please note. If you want to try Cacko 3K then you must zero the device for it to work correctly and you must NOT restore a Sharp backup to it - it will break if you do this.

Hope this helps,

Andy

AFAIK, the NAND Flash doesn't hold much on the 3000, only whatever is required to load the actual kernel and ROM image from the HD, right?

As for me, I'm at ease on that matter since it seems that you can de-brick a 3000 following mammothrept's howto even if you didn't perform a NAND backup first...

What's IE? I'm using Opera on my laptop...

OK, Anton has been playing with some of his stuff that I patched for the 3K/1K and most notably to date he's come up with a better set of settings for the Battery/Overclock applet. - nice one Anton!

Just edit ~/Settings/freqchange.conf and make the file look like this... (CHANGED)

0,Turbo,1e2,0
0,Overclocked,162,0
0,Default (PXA255),161,0
0,Normal,242,0
0,Default (PXA250),241,0
0,Power Saving,121,0
1,Turbo (624/312/156 MHz),a000218,e
1,Turbo (624/312/78 MHz),2000218,e
1,Overclocked (520/260/130 MHz),a000214,c
1,Overclocked (520/260/64 MHz),2000214,c
1,Standard (416/208/104 MHz),2000210,a
1,Power Saving (208/104/104 MHz),0000110,9
1,Power Saving (143/143/71 MHz),0200010b,8

Then from the command prompt use..

qcop QPE/TaskBar "reloadApplets()"

You should now have the full range of options. Note that the numbers in brackets are CPU/Memory/LCD.

Man, you guys rock!

I'll get that done this morning.  Thanks!

OK, since there's no CPU tab on the System Info app, I ran Fish 1.1.0 so I could have a visual indication of the different clock speeds.  Here's what happens for me:

1,Turbo (624/312/156 MHz),a000218,e     Some light screen flickering
1,Turbo (624/208/104 MHz),2000310,e     No problem
1,Overclocked (520/260/130 MHz),a000214,c     Heavy screen flickering
1,Overclocked (520/208/104 MHz),2000290,c     Completely locks up my Z every time.  Had to pull the battery
1,Standard (416/208/104 MHz),2000210,a     No problem
1,Power Saving (208/104/104 MHz),0000110,9     No problem
1,Power Saving (143/143/71 MHz),0200010b,8     No problem

FWIW, I didn't run any of the overclocked speeds for more than about 15 seconds, so YMMV over longer periods.

OK, I updated the previous posting with some new values..

Here they are again..

Code: [Select]

0,Turbo,1e2,0
0,Overclocked,162,0
0,Default (PXA255),161,0
0,Normal,242,0
0,Default (PXA250),241,0
0,Power Saving,121,0
1,Turbo (624/312/156 MHz),a000218,e
1,Turbo (624/312/78 MHz),2000218,e
1,Overclocked (520/260/130 MHz),a000214,c
1,Overclocked (520/260/64 MHz),2000214,c
1,Standard (416/208/104 MHz),2000210,a
1,Power Saving (208/104/104 MHz),0000110,9
1,Power Saving (143/143/71 MHz),0200010b,8
I think that they should be more stable, at least the clock rates for memory are equivalent to the processor clock rate. You may get more flicker on the lower value display clock ones though. Again this may not be an issue if you are viewing video or something.

Other than the obvious (Rock 'n Roll) no. At least nothing printable. It's probably still too early in the morning for me.

To be clear, what exactly does zeroing the device do?  Menu options 3+1.  does it wipe /dev/hda3 with all your user data?  can I store the backup of /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda1 on here to get myself moving again without having to download it from the computer?

Thanks,
Mark

Take a look at the bit about "Why do I need to erase..."

My results with the new values:


1,Turbo (624/312/78 MHz),2000218,e     Immediately locked up, had to pull the battery.  Went back the old values
1,Overclocked (520/260/64 MHz),2000214,c     Works fine
