Hi
Is there an area on the xda2s where you can maximise your processor speed? On my old Dell x3 you could choose 'max perfromance' or 'conserve battery' etc.
It's just for a 400mhz product it gets quite slow sometimes..........
Apologies if this has already been asked....I did search for it but couldn't find anything...
Thanks in advance,
HPJ

Your right for a 400Mhz it's sometimes slow ... d'ont understand it ...
My previous device was a 400Mhz aswell, and was much faster.
Maybe it has something to do because it has a build-in phone?
Have you tried
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...4§ionId=3287&catalog=30&topSectionId=3274
won't it damage the cpu of our pda?.
regards
Not if you dont push it too far! It defaults to 472MHz max, you can switch off this limit and take it further. Mine is stable at 472MHz, never tried to take it further. Overclocking generally wont damage the CPU unless you are daft. As a rule, the PDA will just crash if you take the clock speed too far. The crash may mean a hard reset if you are unlucky!
In short you can kill the proc through overclocking, but its unlikely.
One point to note is that the 'auto scale with cpu load' option on xcpuscaler is a load of [email protected] Does not seem to work at all.
I mainly use xcpuscaler to slow down my proc to 200MHz, dont need 400 MHz to read avantgo or an ebook, or listen to an MP3, but running at 200MHz does give a reasonable increase in battery life.

I have installed the xcpus..., do I configure it so that it varies the speed automatically, but is it always constant to 400 mhz??
does somebody know because??
thank you
XCPU2.85
Anyone has a copy of XCPU2.85 which is not trial version. Mine has expired.
2.82 does not work in 2nd edition.
Try using Pocket Hack Master from Anrom Tomov. Runs good on the QTEK 9090. See www.handango.com
A little note
Dunno if any of you realize this but be careful should you decide to remove pocket hack master..
i noticed that it does not clear the registry of its CPU settings... i found this out by uninstalling the software (after setting cpu speed to 472)... and when i reinstalled it again.. the software defaulted to 472 mhz..
make sure you go to the registry to get rid of some of the settings... just do a registry search for anton and remove the reg entries..
sorry if you guys already know this.. and i don't know if left behind registry keys mean anything if the software is not active but better be safe than sorry right? and i'm a noob here so just trying to help out
hello friends! Xcpuscalar doesnt work with samsung cpu !!!
So I ask you.. is there a way to overclock TyTN?
Thanx
yeah..install pocket mechanic pro
www.pocketgear.com
i overclocked to 450 MHz...but battery life decreased..
you can use ClockWizard I now this program works with samsung cpu
Thanx friends! I m doing some benchmarks with a friend that has a kaiser,, TyTN vs kaiser,, I'll do a bench with OC in Tytn too
byee
def would like to know of results
I have got xcpuscaler installed on my device and it works really well.... I have increased my battery life though it and the performance has improved so much.

Dont u mean pocket hack master? Here is there site http://www.wizcode.com/
I also clock mine at 450. I found a bug or something, system is totally stable at 450..and fast. But when i dial out and i clock it to anything other than standard clock speed. It will dial out fine but if i try to end, it still says dialing and u have to to a reset or else u cant make or get calls.

I heard that xcpuscaler isnt acurate, That u can set up like 500 mhz and TCMP and other software show it at a lower speed.
xcpucalar really doesnt work in samsung cpu! I did samoe benchs in 500 and 300 mhz,, and the scores are the same!
When my tests TyTn vs kaiser is finished I ll post to u...
Is there anything free?

Pocket Hack Master is only good if you don't use the phone functions. This version is not stable if you want to use your phone AT ALL. Needs to mature a bit more before I'll continue to use it. TCPMP does show quite an improvement when overclocked, however.
So there's no a good way to overclock our TyTn
Hi folks!
How can the HTC Hermes overclock. Did it with some tools tried, but rather less successful. Batteerystatus no, xcpuscalar, overclocked but not really at 472-500 MHz. And with the PHM I can overclock well, but then does my GPRS connection to the Internet no longer work.
Is there a way to change this?

This has been gone over numerous times and no, you can't overclock the Hermes reliably....

Although it is possible to overclock Hermes it cannot be done relyabily or without damaging the CPU...
Some utilities may allow an active and practical overclock but I wouldn't advise it...
As you may know, if wou want your Hermes to be more responsive, performant, you can increase your ROM page pool size prior to flashing.
Cheers.
it might not be able to overclock.. but, should be able to keep the cpu locked at 400mhz and not throttle to lower speeds.. which would make it much more responsive.. I've been meaning to test this

The CPU is always at 400mhz. Wtf are you talking about?
no its NOT always at 400Mhz.. it has auto speed scaling built in. something is not right with both tcpmp and gxmark benchmarks.. using the newest PHM I manually set the lowest possible speed of 251Mhz, and disabling built-in scaling thinking of past knowledge that it doesn't do anything to our devices. I should not see any difference right? well visually it is MUCH slower than setting it at 400Mhz with both programs showing the same score at both speeds.. this CANNOT be correct.. I can see it with my eyes a night and day difference.. 420 seemed stable but the scores were showing slower than factory clock.. whats going on here?
this has been gone over so many times in the forum its not even funny any more.
use the search facility...
yes I know, I've read the overclocking threads from two years past.. ever considered newer software might change things? It does identify the processor correctly as a S3C2442A. I still want to know the answer to why benchmarks aren't reporting correctly.. BTW this thread should be moved
here are some results.. with a fresh boot I loaded a 39306KB AVI movie in CorePlayer 1.2.4. I ran its benchmark and also timed it with a stopwatch. The benchmark reported 1.60Mbit/s @ 3 Minutes and 21 seconds, also correct on the stopwatch. 321994752 bits divided by 201 seconds comes out to 1.601 Mbit/sec just like their calcs. Now I opened pockethackmaster 4.33 and set the clock to 420Mhz and reran the coreplayer benchmark. Here's the wierd part, the test reported that it took 4 minutes and 2 seconds with a 1.33Mbit/s rate but in actuality it only took 2 minutes and 58 seconds according to my stopwatch. Do the match, thats 1.809 Mbits/sec real throughput. So overclocking DOES work.. pretty significantly if I might add, but it appears that the timers used in these benchmarks are skewed and not reporting accurate numbers. Someone else try some tests and back me up here.

But then you lose Ram, and when you only have 30 or so mb's of it to start its a crapshoot.
sure, it might make some of your videos or games faster but you'll most likely have problems with any data connection
PHM can brick your phone to an irreversable state, and xcpuscalar falsely shows an increase in processor speed. Battery status will not work for the hermes, and I don't think there is a program that will overclock a hermes CPU. As for the not constantly running at 400mhz, that is not a bad thing. Think of it as a P.C., when you are not running apps, there is a system idle process that occupies the majority of the processor, meaning that not all of the speed is utilized. If this is the case, that means that the processor is not running at full speed. Same goes for the Hermes, however there is no system idle process, just a slower clock speed. When you open an app it will reach, but not go over 400mhz.
pleas see attached zip file
this program give you the ability to overclock the hermes up to 420Mhz
i tested it - and at 420Mhz the device becomes slower and some minor flicks of the screen
i went back to 400Mhz and the device went back to usual operation
regards
edward
I too have tried various clock speeds but at the end of it all i left it default as the device was too unstable.
Also I have of course continue my attempts to overclock Hermes, but I am no satisfactory conclusion. At the moment I use xcpuscalar have all possibilities of tuning 500mhz switched on and it is stable. A benchmark I have not done, so I do not know exactly whether he has speed. But the belief puts mountains.

There is a overclock test going on at nuerom!
He finally managed to overclock some MSM72xx devices,
although right now it's only a beta test some results has been successful.
For now it's only possible overclocking to 768MHz

From reading the comments its still a no... but a step in the right direction I guess... 600Mhz would do for me... smoooth up You Tube and general response time would be great!

Pressed the icon and the same results just a striaght of crash/restart wonder why he cant step the over clock speed down abit it would be good to see this running for a little while,
Id be hapy with 600mhz as well lol thats not being greedy hope this comes true i had an samsung omnia i900 and used to use it all the time then i overclocked it using software and damn the phone was fast even animations like flash and divxs loaded fast, great for kinetic scrolling to,

no it's not the same, this application is for overclocking.
But it's from the same guy ^^
does not work for me as well maybe 768mhz is just too much
is there any possibility to use for example only 650mhz?
It seems to help to disable radio (only Phone OFF) and plug the phone into the A/C charger.
This is a very early test version ....most users at HTC Diamond an Xperia confirmed that it works.
More tweak options ...lower/higher CPU speeds will follow, like i said this is a very early beta but it seems promising. For now it is only 768MHz .
Hi, work me it "works".
You have to disable all plugins on today (touch flo, titanium) and then it works.
In SK tools integer benchmark I get 485 points, 331 on standard frequency, which is I mean huge difference. But solitaire works for 5sec, then freezes. Igo 8 loads to main screen and then freeze....

Do you tested it on a Blackstone?
Be sure, on my Blackstone,with EnergyROM 30.8.2009.
I've been using it by now about 5 hours on Xperia X1. These are the results of the benchmarks (from sk tools) with v.1.3

I'm using a cooked rom with windows mobile 6.5. Windows now works a lot better, not as choppy as before, photos are loading a lot faster and I get about 5-15fps more on the psx emulator. Overall it works great, but keep in mind it's not really stable. It freezes with ease.
And I had to disable my Phone on comm manager (the option between fly mode and bluetooth) if I don't it freezes. But once you run the overclock you can turn it on again and it works perfect.
Hey sorry duplicate post, don't know how to delete it :-|
how long have you been running it for? And have you noticed any increased heating? I expect that there will be...i'm just slightly worried that extended use will kill the Blackstone =/
What do I have to do to get 768MHZ?
Just install the cab and start the program?
Hello,good software to destroy your HD ...
Alright Marcdu81
we got two options here:
Your post is just senseless and absolutely unnecessary.
or
You experienced some difficulties after installing this software, maybe it even harmed your HD.
If that is the case you should state more precisely what happened in order to help avoiding things like that in the future!
So I noticed a number of references in one of the mega XDAndroid threads to overclocking Rhodium. Sounded pretty simple, just a string of text with the desired frequency in a particular file.
A couple of questions for those who toyed with that:
1) was it stable and what was its fastest stable speed?
2) did it run uncomfortably hot?
3) is it possible to alter it on the fly (so you can run it slow when you're reading, and crank it up for video), or do you have to choose a speed preboot and reset to change it?
4) If it can't at the moment, be altered on the fly, might it be possible for some program to do that in the future?
5) finally, why is it so easy on adroid? It seems like no2chem has hit a bit of a wall in making his winmo project hum, but the references here made it sound like a pretty basic task.
Part of the reason I'm asking is flash 10.1 is due for android in Q1. The last I read of CPU requirements had them over Rhodium's specs by a lot. Mobile hulu access would be fantastic, and I'm planning to start dual booting this summer, once classes are done. It'd be nice if my TP2 could eek out enough performance for that.
Thanks
You could try adding this to your Startup.txt acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=650000, thats the one i use and its prettty nice, i havent notice any heating up at all.

It does not sleep to death for you when you do this devil? I had to take the OC out of my rebuilds, because once the phone sleeps, it will not wake up.
Yep same here. If I add that line, once it goes to sleep in Android, it doesn't want to wake up again...

On the Hero one it does , on you build even tho its not really need it i've been using it for a while and it doesn't do it .
So interisting thing, it does go to sleep of death, the reason it didnt do it before for me its because i've been using with htc_battery_smem.fake=1, but as son as i disable that it went to sleep and didn't get up.

I did test and confirm this. I think what happens is with smem.fake=1 the phone actually never goes to sleep.... at least the sleep light never turns on. I will have to ask phh if this is the case.
Tried putting the overclock line in Startup.txt but it did not seem to change anything, at least according to the CPU Benchmark app. The battery line did seem to work though, as it thought it was charging even while not plugged in.
Is there a specific order that these parameters need to be added in? I just added the overclock line at the end and the battery one after that.
Using the latest non-sense 2.1 builds.
I'd love to add Rhodium overclocking support to my RogueTools application.
I think there is still a constraint though with write access to /system. I am hopeful that shortly the Rhodium kernel and rootfs developers will deviate out of the current read only SQSH model and go the way of the Vogue, Kaiser and Polaris hosting the system and data in separate EXT2 partitions on the SD Card. NAND would be the next step.
If someone knows another way to overclock on the fly once the system is up (post boot). PM me. Like I said, I'd love to add support for the Rhodium.
so nothing on the OC for 2.1 yet?
bump
I'm about to test overclocking with the SetCPU app. Worked fine on my rooted G1. I'll report back with my findings.
Edit: Did not work with custom and/or multiple devices selected. Can't push any higher than the stock 528. Blah.

OverClocking M2CW & IME
Data corruption is inevitable without running extensive stress testing to find a safe speed. I have yet to find one for msm7k processors, but surely Qualcomm has one. Benchmarking is not the same as stress testing. Such stress testing apps need to be run for several hours & even days. They can't test all functionality accuracy. Stress testing in themselves can cause hardware damage & even catastrophic failure.
Data corruption is often the "silent killer" and goes undetected by you or system checks ... until you need it most. It may be a config file, a message file, a contact database, an executable, a registry hive, a system file. Any non ROM file is vulnerable. Backup OFTEN & NOT while OC, even though BUed corrupted data is still corrupted. Quote "stable speed" isn't such just because device doesn't randomly lock up or reboot.
Every CPU and memory chip has different limitations. Same phones built on same date may not OC the same.
Don't OC when when building new Android data.img file, downloading update files or apps, extracting or creating archived files, installing apps, encrypting or decrypting.
OC doesn't help Project XDAndroid developers. I suspect many "bugs" they spend valuable time on are OC related.
The msm7k processors supported by Project XDAndroid are a speed scaling processor designed for optimum performance vs. battery runtime, ramping up and down the processor speed based on demand. Average device use doesn't utilize full processor speed.
OC is most noticeable in OS boot times (when OC is initialized prior to), certain multitasking operations, some video playback, CPU intensive games, & to a lesser extent web browsing. Many factors determine the effectiveness of OC especially whether graphics are hardware or software supported.
Your OC device may actually perform worse, noticeably more sluggish, or more jerky than when not OC. Ever notice on some boots into Android it takes forever for your carrier to be detected & displayed on the lock screen and it may creep along as if your processor was hijacked by a random process? Ever notice when you open the app drawer not all your apps are displayed?
OC does use more energy thereby shortening battery run time and producing more heat. Don't complain about battery life if you are OC. Accurate battery charge state & battery run time are not synonymous.
While OC may shorten hardware lifespan it most likely, though possible, will not lead to a catastrophic failure in the typical device lifetime due to the rate of current technological innovations and average length of ownership.
My overall performance satisfaction with Project XDAndroid is best when not OC, especially now that hardware 3D is supported or partially supported as in my rhod500.
OC at your own risk.
