Overclocking

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?

Google for it.

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,

@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?

Change Skype's shortcut in \Windows\Start menu to
OmapClock -clock 216 -launch "\where\skype\is\installed\skype.exe" -restore

MMS Video Length

Maybe this topic has been discussed but I cant find it anywhere.
I was wondering if it is possible to increase the MMS video length on my MDA Vario more than the measly 5seconds that it can at the moment.
I think the Vario is the best phone I have had but this is one thing that I would like to change.
There is only so much abuse you can cram into 5 seconds when sending video to your mates!!!!
thanks

Code:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3\EnableLimit = 0
Disables the MMS Video 3gp recording duration limit. Mind you that you may not be able to send any MMS with longer video (due to size restrictions).
OR
Code:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3\LimitSize = 80 (DWORD decimal)
That 80 = 80KB. If you know the maximum size your (and the receiving) operator supports, subtract 16k from that, and use that value. 16 should be enough for all header data, any text you add, etc.

Thanks for that worked great.
100k is the limit for Orange UK (or so they said)
I guess that is 84 for the DWORD

At wich speed is your Wizard running (POLL)

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.

WiFi 'G' reg tweak is already enabled in new T-Mobile ROM???

I have just installed the new official T-Mobile ROM. Using the Resco Registry editor, i went to enable the faster 'g' wifi hack (for better music steaming over my home ad-hoc wifi network).
However, it's seems the registry settings for enabling faster wifi are already set!
I am using the settings here...
Registry: HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS
Key: dot11SupportedRateMask (dWord)
Value: 1
Key: dot11SupportedRateMaskG (dWord)
Value: 8
My wifi still seems slow, but the reg keys were already set to the values above.
Can anyone confirm this? Or am i missing something/doing something wrong?

Probably seems slow because it's a wizard...there's no way you're ever going to actually get 50 mbps out of it. Or anything significantly faster than 10 mbps. It's a wizard. I wouldn't be surprised if it's finally being enabled for the benefit of increasing numbers of people with "G only" routers.

I am aware of the wizards limitations, but the hack really did make a big difference (when i was using the old ROM).

Overclock at 800mhz!?!?

i guess some supposably this developer no2chem overclocked the touch pro processor to 768mhz..i mean to me thats some bull but the hell do i know..so if this guy really did that...welll shouldnt it be possible to do it on our magics since they have the same processors? thats saying if this guy really did that
heres the link to the story
http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/htc-touch-pro-running-at-800mhz

This thread could turn out to be really interesting...

Yeah do that and cry about the battery draining in 4 hrs with hero roms LOL

Why would you want to? Apart from "because you can"....

With the winter coming, this are great news.. ahahahah
I'll never be cold again here with an overheated overclocked magic.. I hope it won't melt!

"Inspired by GSLEON3 I have started to investigate overclocking options of the ARM11 (runs OS) and ARM9 (runs radio). I disovered a few things which may be of interest, but so far no spectacular results. There is more research needed and I hope people like anton tomov, cmonex, olipro and pof can help out.
Here is a summary of my findings for the ARM11:
- it normally runs on 384MHz which is equal to a masterclock of 768MHz divided by 2
- the ARM11 clockspeed is 768/N MHz where N is a frequency divider (N=1..16)
- i haven't found an option for clock stepping. (If anyone has a MSM7x00 datasheet please share it with me so this can be investigated)
- i found ARM11 clock control code both in oemsbl and spl. The latter is great as it allows to control clock from WM
- there are two commands in a mfg spl to set ARM11 clock speed and to test it: "freq n" (n=0..6) and "test"
- "freq 6" sets the fastest speed: 384MHz and testing with "test" results in 436ms on my kaiser (MSM7200). Would be nice if someone tests this on a MSM7201 based kaiser
- i reverse engineered the "freq" command and found a table at 0x8c00e230 with 5 entries for each speed setting. For "freq 6" the settings are:
Code:
384000 ; equal to clockspeed/1000
1 ; determines which master clock to use (value is either 0 or 1)
1 ; master clock divider-1 (increasing it leads to slower test speeds)
96000 ; some other clock derived from from master clock
3 ; divider-1 for deriving the 2nd clock
- i hot patched these values with the "mw" command (e.g. mw 8C00E2A8 1 6D600) but could not establish any better result with "test"
- setting the divider to 0 (actually means divide 768MHz by 1) caused the device to freeze
- i didn't do any benchmarking in WM
- i haven't investigated ARM9
Okay, enough for now. I hope this triggers more interest and research for this topic."
That was another topic, but i was searching and i think that we could modify the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpu_max_scaling_freq we could overclock easyly our devices...

well with tool like setcpu we could set lower speed when the phone is sleeping and the battery wont go down that bad ..hell if its possible im down to try it

no2chem (maker of nueROM) is a VERY well respected developer here on XDA who has done a ton of work on WM handsets. He's done quite a bit of low-level work on WM builds and created apps/drivers that even I (as an experienced Windows developer) can scarcely comprehend because it's low-level, hardware-related code. Months ago he did in fact develop a clock-speed app that does allow for over/under clocking of the TP (which I own and have tweaked with many of his apps).
I agree that 800MHz sounds a bit far-fetched, but so did overclocking my i7 920 from stock 2.66 to 4.00 on air, but it's done regularly (though not generally for long-term) on eVGA x58 motherboards (which I use). That said, I wouldn't dismiss the idea too quickly.
His blog and tools can be found here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/
Specific article is here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx
He's basically the Windows Mobile equivalent (if there is one) of Cyanogen.

interesting work.
i wonder if it will works on others phone. let me try it with my htc fuze. will post result later.

Maybe a solution for changing the cpu max_freq value it's inserting it to the source code when we compile a rom... I think that modding this file are the first step:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=ke...3;hb=ebea985a6ec461a59afb86f0068cc1d79d7c8bf1
227 CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MAX=384000
228 CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MIN=245760
I think that if we change the line 227 we can overclock, but the problem is that we have to make a rom for testing it.
It's only my opinion!

When i had my blackstone no2chem supposedly oc'd that to some stupid amount but the software he delvelops wouldnt do it. All it would do is the same as set cpu?

Yes, it seems to be the same CPU, if someone can ask no2chem...

hi,
no clue about nix platforms, but you should be able to access A11S_CSR_BASE, follow these steps:
A11S_CLK_CNTL (A11S_CSR_BASE+0x100)
[6:4] = 1 ;Global PLL
[3:0] = 0 ;Divider Ratio 1:1
A11S_CLK_SEL (A11S_CSR_BASE+0x104)
[2:1] = 3 ;Divide AHB Clock by 4
[0] = 1 ;Select Clock Source 1
oh,and A11S_CSR_BASE is at phys 0xC0100000.

oh i didnt know you were on xda lol so it is possible then on our magics??
by the way greatjob on finding this out

But i think that Android SO, doesn't allow accessing to this memory address, it should be out from the user ring... But if the memory address is stored always in the same address (in any platform) we should modify the android source code to allow accessing to this memory address. Otherwise, it seems to be dangerous, because you're writing directly in the CPU registers... a wrong value can fry our cpu...
Now we have a expert low level coder followin this topic... now.. we need a kernel expert for asking about how we can modify this memory adress.

anyone heard any update on this? seems like it just has died, no news from no2chem at all
