Hello,
I have installed the Megatron Rom and the Mik_OS Kernal. When I SetCPU the device to 768MHz+ the phone will freeze after 30 seconds. The screen goes black for a second and then the screen turns on again and the brightness is slightly brighter and the whole phone is frozen and I can't do anything :eek:. I have to take the battery out and put it in again to fix the problem. Right now I am running on 748MHz and sometimes 729MHz.

Please help me fix the freezing problem.
Thanks :)

thats called a kernel panic. sometimes your phone cannot handle the frequency that you set and when that happens, your phone freezes (or reboots or shuts down). if you want to be able to overclock to a higher frequency, try flashing another kernel

I found that on my wifes phone I can't overclock past 748 or else it has problems. My phone is stable at 768, same models. I guess it's just the way different phones behave.

If I need to flash another kernal then what kernal do you recommend for me? I usually like performance based ones.

Fail reboot

For performance? franciscofranco kernel of course :) Search in dev. section...
I have installed the Franco Kernel but when I reboot the phone it says that it is overheated and it shuts down. I have rebooted several times and it still doesn't work. I am immediately changing the custom kernel.

you need a rooted phone and a kernel that works with the stock rom you are on.

most kernels only seem to work with some custom roms. But you search and you will find



I ran 480mhz and 729mhz for the longest time with no issues.
Right now I'm at 122mhz and 480mhz (longer battery life), and the fact that I'm not running games or intensive graphics or anything.

768mhz is just too high, the most stable and highest clock for our p500 is 729max and 691min
I tried 768 for a day and the mother board burnt the other day.

Oh, oops, I've been running my p500 at 768mhz for the last 4 months and apart from the battery draining 1% a minute and the battery temperature reaching 38C° it doesn't crash, I tried 787mhz but it crashed in the first 10 seconds.
