if you run the speed check from the first page, what does it say?

Cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

500000

I observed my Pre after 5 hours of installation it pretty much acting normal now. Of course, it fast like hell.
First two hours it was slightly warm (not noticeable), after few hours of equilibration it is now cool as it used to be.
Thanks guys, you rock.

Has anyone answered this I've looked and have not seen anything.

I need help I had ran the following script on my pre to run it at 600mhz:

mount -o remount,rw /
cd /usr/bin
sed "s/500000/600000/g" LunaSysMgr > newlunasysmgr
mv LunaSysMgr LunaSysMgr.orig
mv newlunasysmgr LunaSysMgr
chmod +x LunaSysMgr

How do I remove it now!???

If not, then

mount -o remount,rw /
cd /usr/bin
mv LunaSysMgr LunaSysMgr.old
mv LunaSysMgr.orig LunaSysMgr
chmod +x LunaSysMgr

then reboot. check to ensure you're running 500mhz (at the beginning of the thread are instructions)

Thank you so much for doing this and allowing us all to benefit from yoru knowledge and skill. This is absolutely amazing. I just installed the 800 patch and will post later on how its going but right away I can see scrolling is FAST and SMOOTH, apps open much faster.

BTW before kernel Battery Monitor showed Temp of 41 degrees. Made me nervous about installing the kernel. I use my Pre pretty extensively, get massive email that is always syncing, facebook patch installed and with 1000 friends lots of messages flowing here too, so I could run hot without he kernel and was afraid it might push me over the top. But after installing patch temp dropped to 36!!!! I imagine it will not always be that low but nice to see it did not go higher.

Again, kudos. Palm should be hiring you guys (along with the webos internals crew). You are all a gift to us.

my light has hung on from time to time, but before ever installing this patch.

wish I knew more about this stuff to help you out... I'm sure that there is someone that can help you get the 800 running...

[baconnbitz2010]

Anybody?

Did you do the step on where to send the file? Step # 6
--> 6) Use WebOS Quick Install Tools - Send File /var/home/root

I installed the patch exactly as described. The speed was dramatically faster, much like the video. Two things happened that forced me to uninstall the patch. First I noticed that the battery was draining at an incredible rate. Under normal, same as usual use, the battery drained over 20% in just 30 minutes.
The main reason I uninstalled was that after a few minutes of use, the home button began to blink and eventually just stayed on. I didn't have any messages or e-mails and I have that feature turned off anyway, as I have no real use for it.
I tried rebooting the phone and about 1 minute of use the button lit up again.
I uninstalled the patch as described. All went back to normal.
Anybody else experience the light deal?
(it was fast as hell though!)

Did you take the phone out of developer mode?

hey now, its ok. Ill go with the 720. Thank you guys very very much

Did you uninstall the 720 before installing the 800?

[joedisaster]

Way cool. Thank you. With the 800 kernel everything's a good bit faster and it makes a big difference. Wow.

[ivan_3_13]

thanks!

[PalmNick]

i finally got it and im happy but ill let you guys know when i see a difference

[Carioca_FL]

I've noticed how some have posted how to check the speeds, but where exactly do you do that from? WOSQI? If so, which tool to use, what command to enter and what is the value that should be shown if you installed the 800Mhz tweak?

Thanks!

BTW, I installed the patch in about 5 minutes (the longest is the reboot phase), easy peasy. The speed check, though... not so much.

[rlanza1054]

Hi,

I got it to work using Terminus, not recommended though. Follow instructions on first page.

But I have to say I am astounded!

Screaming Fast!

I ran the benchmark and its listing me as 69% faster than all Pre browsers!

enter this into WOSQI Linux commandline:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq

it should say 800000 for 800Mhz or 720000 for 720Mhz

[fareal]

So easy to install!

[Carioca_FL]

Doh, found this in the OP (emphasis mine):

2) Check Speed (3 ways to do so, I prefer the BogoMIPS Method):
under Tools - Linux Command Line
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
-should see 500000 increase as a function of time

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
-should see 500 MHz

On the first command, I see:

800000 38292
720000 0
600000 1
550000 0
500000 1273
250000 0
125000 0

And the second command ("scaling cur freq" command) and I get this:

800000

Which is what I assume it should show if you ran the 800Mhz tweak?

[Carioca_FL]

Thanks unixpsycho! This thread is moving fast!

I also just installed using terminus. I'm at work, so I don't have quickinstall available. It was quite painless, and I am astounded at the difference the 800MHz patch makes.

Phone app is instant, scrolling is smoother, and there is a general, across-the-board improvement in responsiveness.
