HTC overclocking

Regardless of the mythical talk of overclocking your HTC device being a bad thing (if done reasonably) Has no drastic effect on your device! For the past 2 years I have been using a small yet simple app called performance. With the app, you can overclock your device up to 624mhz (for those with lesser performance) or underclock your higher powered device to save battery life!
All you have to do is unzip the file save it the memory card, then copy it to your device root menu (NOT WINDOWS ROOT), run the app, enable the software, and there you go, simple and easy!
I'm not going to take any credit for this app, because it isn't mine! There is no mention of anyone who created this app. But, if you are out there, let me know!
If any one has any other questions, drop me a line!

dude, for what CPU is it made...

well, oc should have drastic effect..

ehhh.. doesn't work on pxa270 cpu. it looks just as uni oc-er, if i remember right.
it is not working at all(cpu clock is NOT changing, as i supposed.
---
also, it is hard to imagine 620 mhz omap, lol.

I'm talking in the negative sense! It doesn't hurt the phone! As I mentioned, I have been using it for 2years now and I have not had any issues!
This app is good for ARM and OMAP processors!

Ok, I apologize, the oc'er is best utilized with HTC devices. I did my further research and found out! Sorry for the misleading info! However, I am pretty sure there are other oc'ers out there that will SAFELY oc your device! As, I mentioned, I have been doing for the 2 years!

For those who are uncertain check out this thread. Yes, I started it, but the feed back speaks for itself!

Im new to the HTC scene, and have recently just purchased a Touch Pro...
Will this over clockin app work with this model HTC?
Cheers

i've used battery status to determinate if there is an effective increase of performance in my polaris ; the clock speed is still 400mhz
edit:
doesn't work with htc cruise. tested with sbp benckmark

I have tested this app, on a Touch Vogue, PPC6700 and a Touch Diamond, and noticed a difference with all three, one more than the other and vise-versa! Its small enough to take no room on your device and its an .exe file, so, nothing is created on your devices root or anywhere else!

does this work for newer devices like dhd?

Dude, this thread is almost a year old.
Try:
Oc/uv beater-dhd forums, not supported anymore but still works.
Systune-market
Nofrills-market
Possibly voltage control-market
If you use CM OC ability it's built into settings.
SetCPU-market

+1 on the oc/uv beater. Really nice

help

I'm in a pretty bad situation. I don't know why it happened, but my phone screen went crazy so i took out my battery and tried rebooting. on the "tmobile mytouch 3g" the screen is fine and clearly ledgible, but once it boots up into the rom it goes crazy and is unreadable. I can't fix this because its fine for the hboot but when you try to go into recovery you can't see your screen, and therefore can't flash a different rom.. help? i'm running cm6.1, i had it overclocked to like 700

There sir, is your answer.
EDIT: Since I'm sure I'll get flamed, let me explain why I say this. Our processor might be rated at 800mhz (while it's down-clocked to 600mhz), but that doesn't mean it can operate at 800mhz once it's built into a tiny device like a phone. Not to mention being along side a GPU which puts out a significant amount of heat as well. It's likely the device was being stored under less-than-ideal conditions and there was a run-away process eating up CPU. Result? Damaged GPU.

thanks... i guess haha. is there anyway to fix it?

The hardware is damaged - it's the risk you run when overclocking. You'll have to see if you can return it to T-Mobile under warranty and hope they don't figure it out. Is that ethical? No, but neither is charging $550 (retail) for a mid-grade phone and not delivering Froyo on-time.

You can try flashing the stock nbh in the dev forum. Thats done by simply placing it on the root of the sdcard and then booting into hboot.
Edit: I should clarify that I am not suggesting this as a fix, but as a way to try and get the phone to stock before trying a warranty switch.

Just curious, at what mhz would you recommend is safe for overclocking and do you know if the Slide is underclocked? For example the Slide claims to have a 600mhz processor, is the processor set to 600 max by default or is it set to something like 528mhz max? Thanks in advance.
P.S. Long time no talk Betch. How you've been?

There are 3 kernels that you can use to overclock above 600 but below 800. One is 728? and the other is around 787. Most people are able to safely oc to 806 but it would seem you are definitely not one of them (some can go over 900). The last one allows you to oc to any normal speed you want, from underclocking at 245 to oc up to around 900. You have to set the boot speed via the 00banner file though.
If flashing the nbh file in Hboot doesn't work I would suggest (if you have insurance) running it over with your car or drop it off something really high. I don't believe they check the software, most likely because they couldn't since the hardware would be fubar.

Setcpu

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and I apologize in advance if this has been asked before but, I have an HTC Inspire 4G but have a custom rom flashed and it shows my phone model as a Desire HD. Would I actually need setcpu, or would I be fine without it?

Maybe best to ask at the Inspire or DHD sections, however, I can't see why SetCPU would be a bad thing.
SetCPU enables you to run custom clock speeds, so you can overclock or underclock as you see fit. Also, you can set parameters, so as your battery drains, different speeds are employed.
In all honesty, it is probably not something that you need perse, but if you want to have a bit of fun, I don't see why not. Just be careful if you decide to overclock...if you push too hard and your kernel doesn't support OC, you could have real dramas.

You will really have dramas. If your kernel doesn't support overclocking, you will not be able to overclock... no matter how hard you push.

Poor Cell Recption

Hey guys and gals--
So most of us know that the radio in the GNex is not the greatest (for me at least with the gsm variant)
Anyways, I am wondering of there is some sort of software mod I could do to improve this, even at the expense of it taxing the battery a little. If so, maybe even some sort of toggle for it.
Thanks for any pointers.

The best you can do is try different radio versions and see which works best for you in the area where you have service. There are no software apps/mods to increase cell reception, since it's solely based on the radio hardware/firmware.

I don't know much on how the kernel controls the radio, but my idea was since the kernel controls battery use, maybe some extra juice could be put to the radio. Or something like that.

It doesn't work like that. The radio firmware controls the radio hardware. The kernel does not. The only instance where the radio hardware gets a bump in juice (aside from the standard increases when the phone is struggling to maintain a connection) is when making an emergency call. This, too, is hard-coded.

[Q] Flash third-party ROMs with 2.5GHz ver M8?

I have a long time doesn't flash third-party ROMs since One X, and now I got One M8 for a month, everything is great!
That makes me want to try third-party ROM again.
But as I known, lots of ROMs is based on WWE version to develop, and it's use MSM8974AB (2.3GHz)
And...I'm Taiwanese, so obviously my M8 is use MSM8974AC (2.5GHz)
Some information I found, says that these two different model using a different CPU voltage table.
And I don't know I can use these ROMs or not because the kernel is different.
Does anyone using 2.5GHz version M8 and tried the ROMs on this forum?

Yeah, it works fine.

Thanks for ur reply, now mt mind is easier now.
But I still get little worry that because voltage table is different.
Is that may cause CPU get problem easier in the future?

I highly doubt the voltage table is not looked up by the cpu type. Do you have any evidence for this?

Actually, this information is from Taiwan's forum and that guy who told me this message is a developer, too.
Maybe he checked kernel and sure that voltage table is different.
