Who is overclocked?

just wondering how many of you vogue owners are overclocked?
please post:
1) what speed are you overclocked to?
2) what program you used/how you did it
3) how stable is your vogue? (not at all, stable, extremely stable, how many soft resets a day, etc)
4) would you recommend it for others
thanks guys!!!

No one is overclocked on a vogue. This subject is beat into the ground. The vogue can't be overclocked by the overclocking tool that everyone talks about because it is a different processor. Anyone who says they overclocked it ran a rom and had a placebo effect.

What the F are you talking about??? Its been posted many times that with the Sprint touch you can use the overclocker to go to 524 or 600 and many including myself have **timed how long applications take** to boot up and have seen a reduction in loading time aka faster performance.

Really!!! What program did you use?

First I've heard of overclocking a cdma touch. I'ld like to know the software too. My stripped down rom is already fast, overclocked would be insane.

I do not think it can be done. I just wanted him to say HTC performance which is the overclocking tool that works on devices with a different processor. Don't get your hopes up. If you really want to overclock your vogue take the battery out and shake the phone as hard as you can in an up and down motion. If you believe hard enought teh placebo effect can be just as effective as with HTC performance.

You can not use HTC Performance to overclock the vogue. It will allow you to select the options but it will not physically overclock it as it does not support the Qualcom MSM7xxx chipsets. As they are dual core and can not support overclocking. That utility only works with the ELF which is the GSM version.

HD2 clock speed lowered? Hmmm...

I remember a while ago, I downloaded an app from somewhere, called "Nuetools NueOverclockTest" Actually, it WAS designed for the HD Blackstone...moving on
The app did NOT work on the HD, as it crashed. However, it works on the HD2 (I presume)
My question is : Does it ACTUALLY LOWER THE CLOCK SPEED?
The HD2 is clocked at 1024 mhz, this program "overclocks" the HD to 768 mh from 528 mhz.....now, if this lowers the HD2 clock speed to 768 mhz...that could save a bit more battery life! Could someone perhaps check into this and see if the clock speed changes? Thanks a lot

simple benchmark for yourself
download TCPMP or Coreplayer
get a video file
run tcpmp benchmark on it with and without clock change

Hmmm tbh not much difference Just a little teeny weeny bit slower...
Thanks for the idea bro I've posted 2 screenshots, before and after! And ofc the program xD

Perhaps I need someone more skilled to try this out for me...I AM a noob after all xD

clcok speed
from what i've read elsewhere in the forums our processor isn't always operating at 1ghz, when the system isnt being taxed the prossessor idles at a lower speed, then when called on kicks in to full speed. therefore saving battery life already, but i don't claim to be an expert, just regurgitating what i read elsewhere!

Read this topic:
How to include 1GHz-Hack in stock-ROM - xda-developers
There is an utility showing CPU clock on the last pages.

Nue Overclock test was designed for the CDMA Touch Pro 1 to overclock to 800Mhz. It wouldn't work to underclock a different device. The processors are too different. TP1's Processor is an MSM 7XXX series and the HD2's Snapdragon is an MSM 8XXX series.

OverClocking Aria

Would love to see some ROM's with SetCPU or Overclocking options. I heard the Droid could be overclocked. Wonder if Aria has a "Stable happy medium" that is around 800-1000mhz?

I don't think that It could be clocked at 1Ghz, more like 700Mhz. That just seems more likely.

I would definitely enjoy 1Ghz on my little buddy. Sort of a mini Nexus

Has anyone even tried to overclock?

Never saw a stock kernel you could overclock. You could download setcpu and play with it. Maybe once we get some custom kernels it will work.
Not sure where the problem is with speed though - this thing is pretty zippy as it is.

Yea, it's pretty fast to me. I think the 600Mhz processor must be a different design than the old 528Mhz processor, because it seems to be much faster. I'm pretty satisfied as it is. Is there a certain app that is running too slow on your phone?

Yeah I agree that the processor Is great as is. I havent noticed any lag at all. even 3d games are running without lag for the most part. If it were overclocked the only difference I think that could be needed is performance with the gpu. Set cpu cant overclock the stock kernel but if we do get a custom kernel im sure we'd be able to overclock it.

You can never have too much performance. I would love to be able to overclock.
Gpu wise we're fine as we have the same one as the Incredible and Evo, but our cpu is a bit weak. The Incredible and Evo, while they may not be any faster through the menus, are able to do things like loading web pages faster than us because of their faster cpu.

What makes you say the CPU is weak? I'm don't buy for a second that the CPU is a gating web page refresh speeds.
The CPU is not the same architecture as the old 528 mhz HTCs. The Aria does not need a 1 ghz Snapdragon to perform very well given the graphics requirement of the screen which has far less resolution to manage and requires far less from the both CPU and GPU, and given that this is a small smartphone, and not a game deck. You can't underestimate the difference in power required to drive a 480x800 compared to a 320x480 display. It's enormous for devices like these.
I am sure in time this device will be overclocked by some just because it can be, but the vast majority of us aren't worried about playing Warcraft on the Aria. People who want to do that aren't looking at the Aria is the first place, with it's 3.2" screen, which fits nicely wherever a portable phone might, but isn't going to make anyone go "oh wow, is that a flatscreen tv in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"
If you want to overclock yours, you are perfectly free to do so - once we get another kernel choice that supports it.

I think when you consider running Flash on your phone, there is NO such thing as too much performance.

When you consider full screen flash at 320x480 vs 480x800, the Aria can hold it's own against the larger Snapdragons. If the Aria has trouble with full screen flash, it's not because of the Aria, and it's not because the processor is weak.

I concede that you have a point.

we might need a kernal that support over 600mhz .

How did they overclock the driod? Is that kernel or setcpu?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

Using the kernel eljefe27 links and overclockwidget I was able to overclock to 806mhz and get a higher quadrant score. I'm running ATTN1's fr006 rom(froyo+sense.) All apps stable as far as I can tell and network functional. Under advanced settings the app can define its own possible overclock values for the CPU. I'm wondering if its missing higher clocks, as there is the option to set them manually. Im just scared to, lol.
Because I can't post outside links, the kernel can be found hya:

Untrue. It may be unstable for you but not everyone. I'm currently running at 825mhz, was running at 844mhz.
Your mileage may vary.

I heard overclocking 33% over stock is a good benchmark for performance.

[Q] Average Overclocking Android for Htc Blackstone

Okay
I want to find out the average people overclock their blackstone/touch hd with startup on android
my htc blackstone with android cannot go far than 650000
right now i am testing 633600< works fine now (trying to get over 650000)
so if u could
could u post the lyour overclock values (600000-720000)
and what build your are using e.g froyo or eclair and ifs it neopeek xdandroid or others
thanks
Update
652800

Update
Going over 650000 border doesnt work for my blackstone just hangs
going back to last stable overclock (633600)

try use setcpu..my device got running to 691 mhz!!!
sorry for my bad englisj.

well it depends on each device.it is overclocking so not every device is the same.there are batch that can go higher more than 600Mhz.I found mine is max out at 633Mhz.Overclocking is the same like in computers where chips,batch no,revision no and etc play the role to get decent score.

lucky you

max out for me is somewhere at 740-750mhz, right now I run Android on 710mhz for no crashes (FRG83 R6). On the 1.6 build by Kenia I could go up to 748mhz without crashes

sorry, but i can't completely agree with you...for my blackstone, the max frequency depends on the modules and zimage that I mount, with the first Kernel modded by Camro, i was able to reach up to 710 MHz without any problems....Now my limit (with new kernels released by F22) is 633...so I'm waiting for new kernel hoping in best performances...

wow with 1.6
hmmm
might try that today

how to overclock blackstone when I am on android ? I installed setcpu and it says min 128, max 528 so I cant reach 600mhz and more ??

download kernel 1287. Radio 1.17... GingerCherry. And on my BlackStone i hit 710,4 (716800) with no problem

Modify the STARTUP.TXT

I use Froyos and test Gingers
Always at 716800 frequency
I've tried 729Mhz, but it gets unstable. I also use 710 in WinMo.
Radio 1.17; EnergyROMs

Hi,
I see that my cmd line does not contain "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=650000 clock-7x00.a11=500" , so when I change speed (for example from 650000 to 716800), do I have to change only frequency or is there something to change with the "clock" parameter too ?

You only have to change the frequenzy.
I have set the speed to 716800 Hz and it works fine.

when I set to 716800 I got stucked linux boot (boot line comes to end then phone freezes..)

Maybe it's different from device to device or the problem is based on the kernel or radio version.

The problem of this is your rom..
Energy rom is very hard to overclock..
I've used energy rom for quite a while.. and didn't manage to overclock my blackstone to 650...
With a different rom I was able to oc my blackstone to 710.4 without problems...
I was very used to energy rom and had a lot of contacts and other stuff in that rom..
so my advice is make a back-up with pim back-up.. install different rom.. and try oc-ing ...

[Q] SETCPU HD2 overclock

hi guyz, i have a little question for you
does someone have an hd2 with android witch is overclocked to over 1ghz? 1.5ghz too? and, is it a warried operation or cpu has a low overhead in that situation?
3rd and last question, if i put my hd2 in 1.5ghz mode, and force a bench test, may i broke my hd2 with going upper than cpu Tjunction or there's a system protection witch shuts down all the hardware else the cpu is too close to Tjunction? (like normally pc cpu)
i don't know if snapdragon has system protection, so, i don't want to try to fuse my hd2 (it's my main phone)
and, for users who whant to know, yep, i'm using wp7 because it's smoother than android, but, if i try to use android with that overlock, may it can be smooth like wp7, maybe
and, please, don't say that android is smooth, because it has some micro freeze in the continuity of the animation, and i hate that
thank you for your answers

You can set your clock to max, but make a profile to downclock your cpu speed to ~500 MHZ when it heats up.

oh, you could make a profile with downlcloking when cpu goes to a specific temperature?
nice, what's the tjunction of snapdragon? is 50°C too hight?

not sure, to be honest, I don't overclock my device. too scared to do so :/
but when I did overclock it I set the temperature to 41-42 Celsius.
you can tell that I got a lot of high temp warnings, safe is better than sorry.

different builds use different kernels, and each support different max CPU speeds. If the kernel supports overclocking, the developer usually mentions than in the first post. Note that Some kernels/builds do not support any kind of overclocking, so the max CPU speed would be ~988 MHz
