Processor Speed

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&sectionId=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

CPU overclock

does exists a software specially for overclocking my P3300 CPU? I tried xscalar, or something like that, but it takes my device only on 196 mhz, starting from 133mhz (or this 133 is over my 200 mhz by default?)

Download BatterStatus Extended V. 1.04 Beta nightly build here. Every owner of P3300 has this installed. For more info... search this thread.

i've downloaded, and installed it. but my drain battery is very very very faster, in 5 minutes, drained 9%.

so what can i do?

Everytime I feel my Artemis needs an Overclocking - I give it a ROM straight up its slithery USB Hole !!!!
hee hee hee !

Look, just configure your ARTEMIS BatteryStatus,CpuScalar for 120, 201, 247 with this configuration your battery last for ever because when it doesnt need speed goes to the lowest speed, only if you are running aplication the overclock take action.
Hope it helps,

Thats cool, thanks!

If you can avoid it, don't overclock!
As stated earlier in this thread...
I've found that overclocking, even with scaling, seriously affects battery performance.
I was until today running Vanilla 2.0, which was ok until I added batterystatus, with either fixed or scale doverclocking - both of which drained the battery like crazy.
If battery status is an isuse, use a lean, clean rom and don't load up loads of stuff you don't need - then the device will perform faster... I've just switched back to the Dopod WM6 release, and unclocked it runs everyhting I need absolutely fine.
To me, overclocking is like the salad bar in Pizza Hut.... I ain't going near it!

lol, thats good! Fair point, I'll keep an eye on the battery life.
Perhaps changing the max speed to the standard speed, but keep the low idle speed set will improve power consumption?

I think you're probably better off just not installing stuff you don't need, and where posisble install to your SD card, keeping RAM as free as possible - that will give you a cleaner machine and reduce the need to be tempted to consider trying to overclock... make sure that you have low standby and backlight off settings when on battery use, and keep your device on charge overnight so you always have a devcent level of charge in the morning. If you need to, buy a desktop charger from ebay for a few quid, and stick your phone on it when you get home...

Thanks for the advice. The CPU clocking is being done with Battery Status, which is part of the ROM, so If power consumption continues to be a problem I'll disable the over-clocking function from the Battery Status Options.
As for charging I'm fine, I have an in-car charger and a 40 minute commute every morning/evening
Thanks again,
John

i've got a question about batterystatus, maybe some1 in this post knows the answer:
is there a way that batterystatus keeps the overclock setting while suspended? i would love to UNDERclock my cpu to 123mhz when suspended, so safe extra battery, but seems that everytime i suspend, BS sets it back to 201.
i tried the options, but i can't figure out if it's possible to over/under clock while suspended.

Have you tried the CPUScaler option? It's build in to version 1.04
For the original FAQ etc goto the BatteryStatus website. Or read more in this thread.

i haven't try it. i have artemis 2.2

Well, although I can't uninstall the battery bar I have disabled the over clocking! I sat yesterday and could almost watch the power drain in real time, even with the Max speed set to 201Mhz. I switched the function off and the battery is lasting a lot longer again.
Moral: Don't over-clock at all!

I've tried ALL the cooked ROMS here - I have a 'spare' device for testing...
I use my device for work emails, sat nav, personal mails, web browsing, music, and as my phone. I pair it up with a Sony Blootooth car stereo.
So... aside from a few games, what else do you need to do with your phone? I'd suggets that most of the stuff loaded onto some of the ROMS is completely superfluous and just clogs up the device - things like the touch cube are really tarty overheads. Over the past year, I have played with most stuff that's out there, free and paid, and have a pretty default set of standard stuff that I load onto a clean RM. I was using Vanilla 2.0, but that still ate battery, so when I read that the Dopod shipped WM6 ROm was fast and bare, I thought I'd give it a go, and I haven't looked back...
Here's what I have on it, all running from the Stoarage Card where possible:
CloseAll
Hibernate
Hbutton
TodayAgenda (enhanced Calendar on Today)
Sunnysoft Contacts (one fingered dialling in the car)
TotalCommander
TomTom 6
Coreplayer (gives far better bluetooth audio streaming, and plays videos)
iphone keypad (default one buttons too small in the car)
SamsungTime (big clock on Today, but doesn't have the weight of HTC)
With all of this, I get brilliant battery life and a more than adequate response time without any overclocking, and over 20mb useable ROM.

TangerineTractor,
Why have you choosen the Dopod WM6 rom?
After having that rom I switched to the official Europe WM6 rom. No big differences, but with Ms Office 2007 on board, now the Word and Excel files are fully compatible with my desktop PC. The only disadvantage was that I had to install AudioManager separatelly. (But, in fact, I rather use CorePlayer.) It's a stable and reasonable fast rom. Storage Memory is low but each prog is in Storage Card if applicable. And there is very low RAM leaking (after a day of usage it's still above 20 M -- and Spb Mobile Shell runs constantly!).
Have you tried the Europe ver.?

The Dopod WWE ROM from the Wiki link has Office Mobile on it, and to be honest, I hardly use that anyway... which do you mean by the Europe version - maybe I'll give it a blast..??

Overclocking Hermes wm6

I was under the impression that the Hermes wasn't really overclockable...

I played with the trial version of Hack Master, I set it up under/over clocked. I got some screen flicker when underclocked below 300mhz otherwise it seemed like it worked, I didn't try any benchmarks though. Give it a try. I'd be surprised if it doesn't work for you.
I don't know about WM6.1 though. I tried it on WM6

there is no way to overclock hermes. the procesor change it speed accord the needest of procesing. the can vary trougth 100 to 400 mhz. the hacker master software only show the speed but it doesn't change it on the procesor. this is the best way to safe battery power, cause less speed >>> more battery.

So your saying you can under clock with Hack Master, but it actually doesn't over clock above 400? I know it underclocked my hermes as I could see the screen flicker change with lower MHz. I'm gonna have to install their newest vers. and try some bechmarks. Unless aliencurv gets some results....
I can see that it would save battery with the underclock...

you cant change the procesor speed with any software. hack master only show you the speed that you have configured to change clock, but actually doesnt do anything.
the procesor speed is managed by itself.

Try loading the trial version and drop your processor speed to 200mhz and see and feel the drop in speed. Your screen will flicker too. Is it changing something else. I know last summer it didn't support the samsung processor, but it is now listed and it definitely does something to my hermes...

Search In Hermes Forum
Do a Google search in the Hermes forum and you will find a thread that was dedicated to this subject. I believe the conclusion was that, at best, one of the applications to overclock could be increased by, at most, 10% before resets were required. That may have changed with the release of version 4.3? of Pocket Hack Master this past January.

Overclocking

I have set my Dash to 240MHz from i guess the standard 201MHz, however it doesn't seem to be any faster. I've tried multiple tasks at the same time and I just can't feel a difference in speed.
On the system info it always shows 201MHz regardless to what clock i set it. I also don't notice a difference in battery consumption.
How can i check if the Dash is indeed OCed that what I set it to?

The only way is to look at OMAPClock I do believe.

The only way I know is to go back into OMAPClock and check what setting you have it on. I don't know of a way to see the current clock settings. I can say this-- Your phone's speed greatly depends on the number of applications and programs you have running simultaneously. If you have a lot of stuff going on at once, then you may not notice the difference in speed from 201mhz because the 240mhz is absorbing all of this activity. I noticed a change in my phone's speed when I first o/ced it (significant enough for me to notice a difference), but after a while my S620 became loaded down with all kinds of programs as I began exploring the wonderful world of modding. Now it runs at a decent speed.

I keep my phone very light. Only on there what I really use. The OMAP says 240. I'll keep it at 240 for now and see what happens. If I can see reduced Battery life over the next few weeks I guess it must be working. I'm not sure if I can go 1 step higher.
My old dash burned out on a hot Florida Spring day with a (I believe 252 OC). So I'm also kinda worried about the heat (internal/external), but as far as I read everything should be just fine at 240MHz.

you can benchmark it using sktools

Please give path to the OMAPClock? Thanks!

I have read every thread I could find on overclocking the Dash here in xda. I have T-Mobile 6.0 Standard and would like to overclock. Could some helpful person please tell me which program(s) I need to do this? I'm assuming OMAPClock (which version?) and anything else? My Dash is app unlocked already. Thanks in advance!

wm6.1 coming with a lot of feature inside how omapclock, install it.

I'm not quite ready to upgrade to WM 6.1 with some problems I've read about. I did, though, download OMAPCLock and it works great! The small problem is that it is buried in File Explorer, and I would like a shortcut on the Start Menu. Not being a programmer (like most of you), I don't know what "arguments, file paths, etc." are. I can't copy and paste to Windows\Start Menu cuz it won't let me. Is there another way without getting Total Commander cuz I don't really want to keep adding programs to my Dash that aren't absolutely necessary?

Never mind. The Surreal Networks OMAPCLock app gives me the Start Menu shortcut and Homescreen Icon. The first OMAP program I dl'd was from freeware.com and will not delete. It says there is a sharing violation. Anyone know how I can get it off my phone?

nueOverClock can we finally overclock our Blackstone

For now it's only possible overclocking to 768MHz

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....

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 =/
