Super PreKernel App: Download, Tutorial, Video

try the new version 1.4.2

also use this command instead of the one you have been using:

Code:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/trans_table

thanks,

As with others, I am experiencing the inability to scale above 600Mhz.

I tried with 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 installed via the latest webOSQuickInstall (3.12) - On MacOS X 10.6.3

java version 1.6

Code:

java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01-101, mixed mode)

I tried using cpuscaleruber to adjust the frequency and it works to lower it to anything below 600, but not to raise it above 600.

here is the output of my trans_table

Code:

   From  :    To
         :    600000    550000    500000    250000    125000 
   600000:         0         0         1         0         0 
   550000:         1         0         0         0         0 
   500000:         1         0         0         0         0 
   250000:         0         0         0         0         0 
   125000:         0         0         0         0         0

using original Palm Pre on Sprint
another note: I downloaded the ipkg from web and verified their checksums before installing.

I have installed the version 1.4.2 and the same problem:

Got this

Code:

In the same boat as the other 600 clubbers above. Identical trans_table output. Have 1.4.2 installed via Preware, still no luck.

**KnoxBNYC** · 04/22/2010, 06:10 PM

I was a 600 club member. just uninstalled the kernel, then uninstalled the v1.4.1 app and service as jason describes in the PDF. I installed v1.4.2. Now, it just sits there forever saying that it is detecting..... I did a full reboot and it works fine now, but after installing the 800 kernel, it still says 597.68

. Just an FYI and help for anyone else this might happen to.

Code:

root@palm-webos-device: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/trans_table
     From  :    To
           :    600000    550000    500000    250000    125000 
     600000:         0         0         1         0         0 
     550000:         1         0         0         0         0 
     500000:         1         0         0         0         0 
     250000:         0         0         0         0         0

Simply put, awesome guys. Very easy directions and the youtube instructional video is helpful to those that are not familiar with webosinstall. Thank you very much for the hard work and free time you guys donate to make our phones that much better. Your work is appreciated.

Preware was only showing me an update for the application, not the kernel, so I went with it. Still not getting above 600 though.

Here's my trans_table output with no overclock kernel installed:

Code:

root@palm-webos-device: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/trans_table
     From  :    To
           :    600000    550000    500000    250000    125000 
     600000:         0         0         1         0         0 
     550000:         1         0         0         0         0 
     500000:         0         0         0         0         0 
     250000:         0         0         0         0         0 
     125000:         0         0         0         0         0 
root@palm-webos-device:

And here it is with the 800 kernel installed:

Code:

root@palm-webos-device: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/trans_table
     From  :    To
           :    600000    550000    500000    250000    125000 
     600000:         0         0         1         0         0 
     550000:         1         0         0         0         0 
     500000:         1         0         0         0         0 
     250000:         0         0         0         0         0

**kovacs** · 04/22/2010, 06:37 PM

Also in the 600 club, even after 1.4.2 . Have tried reinstalling and even rebooting after each step but it doesn't make a difference.

**blinktreo** · 04/22/2010, 06:41 PM

I just love you guys for mounting this project! I've installed 1.4.2 and tried 800mhz, and it doesn't seem to be doing much.

I develop for Windows, and have certainly had the experience of pushing out alphas that "work on my box", but don't on others'. It's one thing to be doing it for a paycheck, and another thing entirely to be doing it for the love of hacking.

If anyone has a sec, could you post what the trans_table figures mean?

I definitely saw an uptick with 1.4.1, but I suspect it was "just" to ~600. After uninstalling 1.4.1 (QuickInstall) and installing 1.4.2, I don't seem to see the same performance improvement. But that's subjective, of course. I'll read through the thread again and figure out how to get ahold of cpuinfo.

Whatever the eventual fate of Palm and WebOS, I just have to say how exciting it is to be part of a pretty open platform that attracts so much interest from 3rd party devs. Then again, I was pretty thrilled to be involved with BeOS back in the day... =/

Keep up the good work! Remember to get some sleep!

**ihatethisregistration** · 04/22/2010, 06:48 PM

I was in the 600 club. I installed 1.4.2, now it's running perfectly, smooth as butter. Thanks devs.

**neilkagan@gmail.com** · 04/22/2010, 08:27 PM

super ezy nice work thx

**Dchris222** · 04/22/2010, 08:47 PM

nothing major, just a few under the hood fixes.

One of the new features is that the program does not let the display time out during installation. Also, this may help fix a few members of the 600mhz club.

you can download it on this download page:
Index of /webos/apps

or you can use the preware feed to update:

Looks like you are running at 800, how do you like it? The video appeared to show a big difference.

**swimmerman272** · 04/22/2010, 11:17 PM

I removed the original 800 MHz patch and went ahead and installed this. I reinstalled the 800 Mhz kernel, and now my computer won't recognize my Pre. WOSQI says please insert device. Wth? If I had to guess, I'd say I'm at 600 Mhz because its faster than stock, but not near as fast as it was with the 800 MHz... any help?

Are you sure dev mode is on?
