yes:
SKtools - the best tweaking and .... Tool.
And the info only shows the general cpu speed - not the real.
ANd if you overclock with batterystatus - you see it in the todayplugin.
BTW - you can amke a benchmark with TCPMP (Mediaplayer) - but it is allways a little lower than the real speed.
I would suggest using batterstatus over sktools. Me and someone else had problems with that phone and the herald. Speaking for myself the problem occured after executing a cleanup through sktoolz.

Has any one got a link for a freeware program to do throtterling of the CPU as in not always running at 400Mhz? I've seen a few more complex ones that you have to pay for but they do all sorts of things? I am thinking of giving it a go and the whole point of Intel developing the XScale chip is because it's able to Scale down the speed (Hense the name) this saves a lot of battery life apparently...
Any ideas?
Downclock your processor will not take a lot saving your battery life (about 10%).
Use XCPUScalar for your Xscale cpu,it let you choose 100-200-300-400-472 Mhz mode.

thanks for the reply unapproachable2kx I will take a look into that program... Great work...
Hear is a direct link for any one that would like to look it up as well
http://www.immiersoft.com/
does the program expire at all? has any one done any testing of just very basic PDA work as in address lookup, phone number lookup and that sorta stuff and seen how much extra battery like they can get out of there PDA?
Is there any programs that can automaticly scale the speed of the CPU acording to CPU load that is freeware? Will Microsoft be implamenting CPU scaling in the Second Edition of there 2003 OS? still can't belive that its not a built in feature if the CPU's where designed to scale acordingly...
Does no one else know of any others that can scale the CPU speed according to usage? ass well as the software being freeware?
The Xscaler prog is not free.

Thanks for the link xda-rocks, Have you had any trouble using this software on the XDA II, I see they give you a bit of babble about you may have to do hard resets and stuff like that.... Have you had any problems as yet... I have never used any CPU throterling software and am just wanting to play around with it a bit..
Do you notice a extended battery life if you use this software at all?
No probs so far, but haven't really had time to try it - only just installed myself.
It's not intended for the Wizard but it works!
There is one limitation though, after standby it reverts back to default.
Thanks to Kremo for this find!
I tried it and it worked!
It said my OMAP is running at 180MHZ! I thougt it is 200Mhz?
So i should be able to boost the speed to 200 Mhz (programm uses 8Mhz steps, so it would be 204Mhz) without any problem?!

on my wizard the about page says 195, TCPMP says 168 and this app says 180...
I used TCPMP to check.
Where do i find that TCPMP?
Sweet, does it speed up both cores? Anyone seen what speed the wizard maxes out at?

any benchmark after overclocked ????
So the question is whos a dare to overclock a £500 device.
not me thats for sure!

wow this is amazing i have been waiting for this forever. my sjphone is really fast now and i have less skipping. my snes emulator runs so much better. thanks for sharing this with us.
wow even skype works great with voice cancelation checked!!!! finally flawless voice over ip
That's all great, but more speed comes with more heat... Does anybody have an idea what this overclocker will do with the cpu? Does the OMAP cpu have a way of measuring the temperature?
Greets,
David
@dafit
If you overdo it,the worst that happens is that it resets itself.
@grinny11
Just don't forget to run the app before you use e.g. Skype because speed goes back to default when you put your phone in standby.
thanks bolasz. the highest stable i get mine to is 264 through the app which reports 250 in tcpmp. if i do anything higher it just freezes and i reset.

P.S Sorry - use translator with russian language on english.
Parameters of the command line
OmapClock -clock <freq> [-confirm] [-launch <path> [-restore]]
-clock <freq>
installs frequency of the processor in MHZ
-confirm
require acknowledgements of the change the frequency
-launch <path>
start the program (the way to reference in rabbit earses!)
-restore
restore former frequency after termination of the uncared-for program (is ignored unless it is given parameter -launch)
Sequence parameter importances has not.
The Examples:
OmapClock -clock 132
OmapClock -clock 144 -confirm
OmapClock -clock 144 -launch "\Storage\test.exe" -restore
do I need to run this program affter very standby ?

Unfortunately yes.
But actualy there is no point to run your device at higher frequency all time.
The -launch parameter as suggested by arc is great to switch to higher freq only when needed e.g when you want to use Skype.
i'm not familiar with command lines for pocket pc. how would i make it so that it overclocks for skype and restores it in the end. do i make some kind of bat file?

Hi!
I was wondering on which speeds people have their Wizards running? I know there are a lot of people using OMAPclock so if you could enter your values into the poll it would be much appreciated. Also with this programm BAtti http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/ you can check the temperature of your battery! Wich temp. is acceptabel (is there any relation to the tmp of your processor?
My Wizard is running @ 264 Mhz and in rest, battery tmp. is 28.0c
195mhz
264 solid as a rock
technically....
the poll didn't let me pop my answer in (i run at 228 or 240, both of which are excluded).
i just overclocked to 240 using OMAPclock..
anyway to make sure it really is at 240 though? The system information app in WM5 still says it's 195.. although i think that's just a label.. not a actual clock measure..
You can use TCPMP with a given file to benchmark - just benchmark before and after overclocking
i like to run it on 240mhz but whats with the batt life?
I run at 228,
mine resets sometimes at 240
I got my MDA Vario just for a few weeks...it is a whole lot faster then my previous SonyEricsson P900, so for now I just run at at default speed
Before ROM update = 240mhz consistantly
After ROM update = standard 180mhz.
I run at 216, but it resets it's self at random times.
I've been running my Qtek 9100 at 204 MHz since Sunday with no ill effects. Battery life seems not to have been affected significantly. Still running the original ROM -- I might try an upgrade in a week or two after I've become more familiar with the unit.
264 24/7. no resets
overclocked to 240 with out rest or any problems
Because I use push-mail (so GPRS is on, all the time), and BT is also turned on 24/7, the battery drain is significant. I noticed a major increase in power consumption when I overclocked the CPU. Normally this CPU is smart enough to clock-down when not being used. When using the overclock program, this intelligence is switched off (or doesn't function anymore), resulting (in my specific situation), in a battery life of about 12 hours. When I run the CPU at default speed, it easily manages to live for 24-36 hours without craving for an outlet socket
264mhz on omap but it tells me 250mhz on tcpmpm.
(i'm posting this using my wizard, why is it putting two spaces?)
With the latest ROM I find the standard speed is adequately fast now, so I run mine at standard speed but increase to 240 when using skype to get rid of the choppy sound, reverting to standard when I close skype.
( I use a modified shortcut for Skype which automatically launches OmapClock and increases the speed when I start Skype and reverts to standard speed when I close skype).

How do did you create such a shortcut? I would like to overclock only when using TomTom.
I have got my Vario on 240 Mhz now. I have flashed it with the new Qtek rom (release 24 march 2006).
But even after installing memmaid, I can't keep it at 240 Mhz after waking up. It will be set back to 180 Mhz
I did make a new Event in Memmaid after waking up, but that doesn't work.
Or could it be because I did not register Memmaid yet?
1-2tje -
Extract the attached file to a new directory on your device called 'omap'.
In File explorer you should see the omapclock.lnk with a tomtom icon, and when you launch it it should start tomtom.
If not, then open the omapclock.lnk in 'Notes' and alter the location and/or name of the tomtom executeable.
To check the speeds, launch omapclock.exe before launching the shortcut and see what the speed is. Close omapclock.exe then launch the shortcut. While tomtom is running open omapclock.exe again and check the speed. Close tomtom and after 10 seconds check the speed again - it should be back to normal.

Hi Guys,
Pretty impressed with this site, the dedication and commitment everyone here has.
Just thought to pick minds....
Which is better of the 2 clocking apps : OMAP (of which I could only find ver 0.2) or BatteryMeter , gives the best overall performance vis installation file size and continous use ?
Your thoughts please
AD10
I think they are the same thing, BatteryMeter provides the nice user friendlier interface that invoke OMAP (or you mean OmapClock?). For small size, OMAP is a command line simple tweak etc, but maybe difficult to set up, esp if you want it to be still around after suspending your phone. So, probably for start, try the Bmeter.
Don't you mean BatteryStatus instead of BatteryMeter?
Anyway, BatteryStatus, despite the name, has also overclocking features and has the advantage that the settings remains if you perform a reset. As far as I know, Omapclock does not.

Thanks guys,
Yes I meant BatteryStatus and OMAPClock.
I have tried both, and stuck to BatteryStatus - offers more information and seems to be constantly supported by Kai.
OmapClock and batteryStatus read different clocks
I used OMAPCLOCK to set the clock to 208 MHZ, however batterystaus, even not using its overclock function reads it as 221 MHZ instead.
Which one to trust???
Tks
I used OMAP for a while, but I was able to overclock max 246, now I use batterystatus and I OC to 286 without any problem. (Also BS has many more features over OMAP)
Hi everybody,
are there any experiences with Charmer and overclocking? I'd like to speed up my PDA, especially when using CPU-intensive programs such as iGo/TomTom (GPS navigation). Before installing a bunch of probably useless utilities, I just want to check whether anybody is overclocking his device.
Which programs do you use (e.g. omapscaler) and are does this lead to any noticeable changes?
Using batterystatus here which includes OMAP and CPUScaler.
I have to say i am finding some difficiulties linked to the fact that the screen often misalign and the overclocking seems to be having problem with spb backup (it makes the device freeze).
The setting i have are
Min 143Mhz
Org. 195Mhz
Max 247Mhz
I am also using the "Add short time boost" functionality at 273Mhz.
For CPU% thresold i stick with teh program default values.
Apart from this the speed is great and allow me to run a bunch of Touch application designed for more powerful/recent telephones wihtout much problems.
P.S. tomtom doesn't need overclocking, it is not a CPUI intensive application adnd runs great with factory clocking.
Thanks, I'll give batterystatus a try.
CPUScaler
CPUScaler, the best I ever used.
regards
Batterystatus is currently the best overclocking program for OMAP processors. You can easily overclock it to 273, some models can take even 286 and 299.
