LumosII allows PHM to work!

Enabling LumosII on my PPC6700 (and similar units) allows the unit to think its using camera mode, so the autoscaling is disabled, which is how it was designed .
This enables me to run both overclock programs without problems on battery power.
Although this does not make xcpUScalar run better, it makes Pocket Hack Master run when it could not before. PHM makes this unit scream! It runs noticeably better and much more efficient than xcpuScalar.
Now with PHM, my battery drain has returned to normal levels, even with this max brightness from LumosII.

So I'm going to test some more and post back the results - possibly even putting some asm and reg tweaks together to provide a one click solution to put into the startup folder. This seems to be the best solution.

Man, that sounds like good news. Coincidentally, I'd just downloaded a trial of PHM to play with. I've been wondering if I can overclock beyond 624 as I'd heard others could.
Good luck with your experiments.
Edit: My experiments with PHM did not go well. I could overclock to 624 just as easily as XCPUScalar. 728 locked up during testing, just as with XCPUScalar. 663 worked, but as with XCPUScalar - I had a lot of screen distortion. I then tried to find a speed between 624 and 663 that worked well - but my 6700 totally locked up. On a soft reset, it stuck on the boot screen. I had to hard reset. That sucks, so I'm going to go back to XCPUScalar indefinitely.
