try this to speed up your pocket pc, good programs , try for xda II at 530 mhz
I would have prefered you post all the warnings of using such utlity ... for some unexperienced users this could permanently damage their devices.
For all folks here ... pay all attention to the heat while working on high speeds ... and don't ever try ROM flashing on any speed but the default one (206 for XDA and 400 for XDA II)
Ive been running Gameboy Advance and SNES roms, using XPU scalar @ 530Mhz for hours and hours. The device gets VERY hot after 5 hours, but it still fights on without a restart...
Although, ive tried other clocking apps @ 600mhz and then it got so hot it restarted itself...
I use Pocket Hack Master and have had my device up to 1689Mhz without any ill effects, though this is apparently unusually quick for an XdaII - the SDRAM usually can't handle 147MHz.
With PHM, mine scales between 399MHz and 589MHz depending purely on load, I've been using it for about three months with no apparent problems.
I tried it on i-mate ... the device is frozen if I use 530 MHz
Mine runs fine at 530 and 473... I even did a benchmark in BetaPlayer; huge improvement at 530; however, I decided to back it off to 400 to save on batteries.

Probably the SDRAM can't handle the 133MHz - it's the first thing that usually falls over. You could put the multiplier down to 1/2x from 1x and it would probably work but that would mean your RAM was only running at 66MHz.
ok i must be real tired...
how the heck do you install this program from those files??
Questions :
- At 472 MHz as well as at 530 MHz, the memory is underclocked (50 - 66 MHz). I ask if it would be possible to maintain the memory around 100 MHz (+/- 10 MHz) during the overclock.
- Does the XScale CPU have the frequency fixed at 400 MHz ? Intel didn't think to dinamical frequence switch ? (like in Centrino or P4M) ? Because if not, then this software would allow battery economy. But it's weird, Intel wasn't able to do the same thing ???
With PHM you can choose whether to 1/2x or 1x clock the SDRAM and the LCD. I use 1x, so when I'm running the CPU at 590, the memory is running at 147MHz, most Xda II's won't handle this but it appears I was really lucky and got very good RAM in mine.

Are you sure in underclocked? I am sure the memory clock is set to standard freq. with all the benefits,like stability and faster processor clock (472-530)
You can verify it downloading other Overclocking applications,like made from Mamaich.
I verify with CPUID, it shows all PDA frequencies. I can post screenshots, at 530 MHz, the memory runs in 66 MHz.
That's why I posted my question.
err..so whats the best setting when using the XCPUScaler?
And how come cannot access settings for over 500Mhz? Mine goes up to 475only
In Option select 'show frequencies over 500mhz'

Use Mamaich Overclock program with:
L 27
M 4
N 1,5
You will obtain SDRAM and MEM LCD 100mhz,CPU 597mhz PXBUS 199mhz
I've Benchmarked it with GX BenchMark with no good results.
So,best performance for gaming you will obtain on 530Mhz

Done that.
But at 530 MHz, my memory cames down to 66 MHz thus not 133 MHz, I think it doesn't support anything above 100-105 MHz.
Now I want to benchmark myself , I'll try to find GX Benchmark.
I only regret the downclocking function of CPUScalar, that saves battery (can somebody confirm ?)

Could you tell me how to install even I copied all the files to my XDA2 .[/quote]
After many hard-resets,installation of system files and progrs..
I can finally assure that CALLER-ID program seriously give conflicts on overclocked Cpu frequencies,more than 472Mhz..(like 530,ecc..)
And drains more battery power.
Just let you know..
Now is your choice..
To tell u the truth, i use xCPUScalar for a month in advanced mode:
0-15% - 300
16-40% -400
41-70% -472
71 -100 -530 and have no problems at all.
BTW - CallerID is a very uncertain subj by itself.
i also use xCPUScalar for a month in advanced mode:
0-15% - 200
16-40% -400
41-70% -400
71 -100 -472 and have no problems at all.
But I don't see where I can get over the 472 limit??
I have a XDA (QTEK 2020) with a 400MHZ chip.
I see you guys talking about 500 and more sometime???
and this is possible, where XCPUScalar indicate 472 MAX ?
Thank you
PS: OK I get it, I just forget to enable the "show frequency over 500MHZ"
Now I see 530MHZ.
Juste hope it's fine like this.
Pocket Hack Master runs the Jasjar version of the HTC Universal @ 624 Mhz with no apparent problems. It passes the stress test at this setting and runs video at this setting. I've noticed that when running video, Pocket Hack Master's processor use utility doesn't completely max out when the processor speed is set @ 624 Mhx and that (as others have noted) running video slower than 624 Mhz results in noticeable frame rate slowness.
Since it's only rated to run @ 520 Mhz, I'm wondering if running it @ 624 Mhz will shorten the processor life or cause more serious problems. The only definitive way to know would be to run long-term on the Universal @ 624 Mhz.
Can anything think of a way besides running a long-term test to determine if damage is being done to the Uni's processor by running it @ 624 Mhz?
I too am interested in this. What do people advise running at, at most?
PS: On my Xda Exec it fails the 624 test each time, only 520 works.
I also have the same problem - it fails the 620mhz test
mine freezes @ 624, ocasionally. Not very usable, and quite annoying. I do see the difference in performance, but it crashes too often to be true :roll:
Tried Latest XCPUSCALAR my screen goes mad, and crazy, also unusable. UNFORTUNATELY :evil:
Hmm weird, my XDA Exec runs just fine a 624 MHz in Pocket Hack Master wonder why some people are having problems...
Yeah mine has been fine @624 for two days no glitches at all mines a T-Mobile MDA Pro
mine is now approaching 3 weeks at this speed and its fine !!! TBH the CPU will be running a little warmer, because you are asking more of it !! but its not as if you are putting extra voltage into it or anything so the chances of it blowing or miniscule !! if it gets unhappy it will just lock up. any here are the settings I used in PHM
I left all the timings of every thing as normal but pushed the multiplier up 1 more to 624 MHZ if I try 2 more (728 MHZ) it crashes before it even begins the burn in stability test :shock: suffice to say all the timings are identical to a genuine intel 624 MHZ CPU
Using Anton Tomov's pocket hackmaster version 2005
L = 16
N = 06
A = 01
Turbo enabled
half turbo disabled (dunno what the point of a half turbo is, it just seems to halve CPU speed)
LCD_26 = 00 (dunno what this does but seems to have no effect)
Fast Bus enabled
after adding it dont forget to set as favourite and then you can enable the speed
using the above settings should give you this
CPU = 624
BUS = 208
RAM = 104
LCD = 104
Turbo enabled
SI (speed index) now 373 up from 341
MIPS (millions of instructions per second) now 261 up from 217
Memory (even though I did not overclock the memory bus) now 486 up from 465
as stated 1 more step to 728 MHZ is a no go, and if you try to decrease the bus speed and up the multiplier to get speeds in-between 624 and 728, it starts suffering from bottlenecking and is not worth it if you look at the actual stats of data rate (MIPS memory etc) despite the higher figure of CPU MHZ its actually running slower the other drawback to strange bus speeds is that screen begins to flicker
guys I apologise in advance for my dumb question : but where do I get the Pocket Hack Master;
or in fact where is a good source for progs and utilities for WM5 (I am new to this OS and platform) ???
I would appreciate your help and any directions!
im getting sick of xda pda.
i have xda,xda ll,xda lls & xda lli
i find all those pda r junk and useless.
gave me too much problem.
i even loose my business because of this useless pda

It is brilliant, I used it myself today and strongly recommend it
I've run benchmark from SKTools, and it stated X1's RAM performance as far below Diamond, and I've noticed that my X1 ix indeed can be considered slow when running a lot of programs while it still have more than 50% more RAM; I've seen the CPU usage and it wasn't really stressed out.
So my conclusion is that X1 RAM is somewhat slow (mean : RAM speed, and timings -if you're familiar to the world of overclocking and such)
anybody else noticed?

I would be quite skeptical of these results, HTC Diamond, Touch Pro and HD have nearly the same hardware components as X1. They have exactly the same CPU and I wouldn't mind to bet that they have the same (or similar) memory chip.
Maybe more benchmarks should be done by other users of both devices just in case.

I think it depends on what your phone is up to when you run it.
These are my Xperia results.
2nd fastest integer cpu results (323.57)
HTC Touch Diamond (331.11) with the Qualcomm MSM7201A CPU
RAM speed was actaully a lot faster than the Touch Diamond
Xperia X1 (1493)
Samsung Omnia (868)
HTC Touch Diamond (472)
In most of the other tests the Xperia scores very well.
Try a soft reset and benchmark it again maybe ?
Did you also notice SKTools shows CPU Clock speed of 400000000 or 400MHz !
Not sure if thats because the CPU is not running at full speed when its at low CPU utilitization or its been clock speed reduced to help with battery life like the iPhones.

hmmm you're right, I re test it again and now it's just a bit slower than yours, there has been some inconsistency it seemed.
interesting.... HomeScreen PlusPlus ALSO reports 400 MHz..... i think Device Information under Start --> Settings is only showing the SPECIFICATION that it's 528 MHz but I'm pretty sure it's underclocked to 400 MHz.
Same for me: 400 mhz. We need to find a program to overclock the device.

Maybe I am wrong but I think these devices have dinamic CPU speed. So probably 400 Mhz is the "normal" speed but it goes up to 528 only when "is needed". In the same way It goest down to 200 Mhz in standby

I think it would be very useful if we compiled a list of the games that run in Dosbox on the HTC Wizard.
Please state the name of the game, the CPU clock (overclocked or ordinary 180 MHz?), the emulator used (PocketDOS or n0p's DOSBOX. I'm using the CVS ARM version from n0p.) and the number of cycles you've got it set to, and say whether it's playable or not, comment, blah.
I will be posting some of mine later today, I hope, so feel free to post your findings and I will compile a big list.
Thankies!
Code:
0.63 CVS ARM n0p's Dosbox [F/SKIP = 4] [SOUND EMULATION = NONE]
Hugo's Haunted House 216 Mhz 600 Cycles Playable.
Populous 240 Mhz 900 Cycles Playable. A tad slow.
Alone In The Dark 240 Mhz 1000 Cycles Too slow.
Eye of The Beholder 240 Mhz 900 Cycles Playable.
Jetpack 180 Mhz 500 Cycles Playable. Excellent.
Cadaver 180 Mhz 800 Cycles Playable.
Sokoban 180 Mhz 200 Cycles Playable. Excellent.
Dangerous Dave 180 Mhz 300 Cycles Playable. Excellent.
Pushover 180 Mhz 1000 Cycles Playable. Excellent. Long intro, though.
Klax 180 Mhz 400 Cycles Playable.
Special thanks to everyone who's PM'd me with their results, keep it coming!
hi... can u mail me and tell me how you did it ; ) ? i was tried to launch mario old dos game and i had 3 - 4 fps;/ [email protected]
btw: you are from poland ? if yes my gg:4827328
Email sent!
Our phones cannot display more then ~56 fps due to vsync
Test settings: JM2, samset 1.8, mimocans ext4 fix + dalvik cache sent to nand, 8gb class 6 sd, all benchmarks were only run once.
Neocore:
200mhz : 36.8 fps
400mhz : 56 fps
800mhz : 56 fps
1000mhz : 56 fps
Yes, with our cpu reduced by 80% we still beat the nexus one and other froyo omapp/snapdragon cpu's in neocore.
Quadrant: (world & moon, the others are more difficult to test)
200mhz : 40fps : 410 Quadrant
400mhz : 56fps : 789 Quadrant
800mhz : 56fps : 1532 Quadrant
1000mhz: 56fps: 1762 Quadrant
Fps2d is 56 fps at all cpu settings.
-IMPORTANT-
Due to the nature of vsync we have no idea what fps we could be getting, Generally when you scale down cpu performance the bandwidth available for the gpu decreases dramatically as the processor cannot handle the new frames to keep up with the gpu. What this is showing us is that in neocore at 1000mhz we only require 20% of the cpu to get 36.8 fps and somewhere around 300mhz to get to the 56fps vsync cap. For all i know the gpu might only be able to output 70 fps without vsync at 1,000mhz, the question is by how much does reducing the cpu speed effect the available bandwidth to the gpu
This shows us:
1. Our gpu is largely held back by the frame-limit, the cpu also has an impact on the gpu performance.
2. We need better benchmarks to test only 3d performance, many of the 3d tests in quadrant are either heavy on the cpu, or are 2d tests. And neocore is simply not taxing enough on our gpu.
3. Need to find a way to remove vsync
4. Its a powerful beast! looking forward to froyo
Look foward to GLbenchmark 2.0
Even currently in 1.1 it's showing some impressive results, even though it's not supported very well on latest-gen gpu's (SGX530/535/540 mostly)
*off topic*
Would you please link / pm me to the Sd card you are using?
Its a Samsung 8gb class 6
would underclocking the cpu to 600mhz for example help increase battery performance, or it it mostly the screen that drains the battery?
its mostly the screen
But really really great research there !
Its nice to know.. Hehe..
The next thing i would like too see is quadrant tests where the SGS has undergone the Lagfix and then with different SD cards
