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?

battery status

Overclocking
Also, be conservative when you are first using it.....make sure you don't overclock over 260 mhz or underclock below 143 mhz...I believe some members have reported instability/problems with their wizards when they did not stay within these parameters.
Make sure you read the developers thread and webpage concerning batterystatus....it will explain some of the settings in batterystatus.

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

[APP][O/C] WiMoSpeed: Hopefully soon on Diamond!!!

Have you ever heard about this? Awesome! Processor up to 750Mhz and stable!
Here is the 1st post:
iwfratz said:
CAUTION !!!
- USE THIS TOOL AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
- Overclocking your cpu may damage your device.
- Before autostarting the app be sure that your device will not hang.
- backup is always recommended !!​
DESCRIPTION :
WiMoSpeed lets you change the CPU-speed. In opposite to other tools, even to the predecessor OverClockTool (OCT), it manipulates the values WM uses for clock control. So it works reliable on battery and AC without any scripting or active components.​
USAGE :
- Download and install the CAB
- Start WiMoSpeed.exe. If it reports that it cannot identify your ROM: post here
- Select Speed
- Set Speed
- If desired create link (in installation directory) with actual settings
- Exit WiMoSpeed.exe
- Your device still runs with speed you set​
LIMITATIONS
I am working on this in my spare time, beside my job, my mate and some other interest. I own a Rhodium-device only, so I can not reproduce errors on other devices and debugging is very difficult and time-consuming. Be patient.
WiMoSpeed supports Qualcomm MSM7200 (and compatible) and is actually limited to ROMs of
Rhodium,
RhodiumW
Topaz
Blackstone
Whitestone / Imagio
I took all shipped roms I could get and included the information into WiMoSpeed.
!!! If you have a device listed above and WiMoSpeed could not identify your ROM please post here what part of your ROM WiMoSpeed couldn't identify (OEMXIP and / or RADIO-ROM) and include a download-link of your ROM (OS, RADIO) !!! Otherwise I will ignore your post. Thank you.​
TECHNIQUE
Basically WiMoSpeed is hardware-independent, because it lets WM change clock speed. But I couldn't get WM to switch the clock reliable on request so WiMoSpeed had to switch the clock registers itself on setting a new speed.
Therefore WiMoSpeed depends on CPU-hardware, RADIO- and OS-ROM.
Raising or lowering cpu speed didn't change battery drain or device temperature noticeable. So there isn't dynamic clocking in WiMoSpeed, but WM is still controlling and changing cpu-speed on battery.​
thanks to
-all donators for the support
-eboelzner for Sense UI SDK
-dmvandijk for the icon
-the internet ​
TODO-LIST
support for Raphael / Fuze
support for Diamond
Support for
non-HTC MSM7200/7201
non-MSM7200/7201
devices is uncertain.​
Please do not mirror WiMoSpeed !
Version 1.03
- blackstone problem (speed cut in half after sleep) should be solved
- added support for more ROMs
- changes in GUI (you have to create your links again; old ones starts the GUI only)
Version 1.02
- added support for more devices
- added support for more ROMs
Version 1.01
- added support for more OS-ROMs
- added support for more radio-ROM
- new function: restore default speed (528 MHz)
Version 1.00
- Initial release
- Rhodium, RhodiumW

[REF] F.A.Q. About X8's Modules | Read Berfore Posting

Hi,
I'm not an expert,I just want to solve your problem
We have 8 modules for our phone,includes:
Overclock(By doixanh)
Undervolt(By doixanh)
Gesture Pinch Zoom(By doixanh)
X8 MDDI Fix(By doixanh)
X8Kconfig(By doixanh)
Dual Touch For Cypress Touchpad(By AnDyX)
'Smartass' Governer For X8(By AnDyX)
X8 Netfilter(By AnDyX)
Introduction of these modules:
-Overclock
Easy English:make your CPU much faster.
-Undervolt
It saves battery,decrease the heat of CPU,and make your phone more stable.
-Gesture Pinch Zoom
It is the fake multitouch modules for Synaptic Digitizer.
-X8 MDDI Fix
It increases your phone's smoothness by eliminating the lag that happens every 5-7 seconds in custom ROMs.
-X8Kconfig
It not for daily use,it's for developers to extract kernel config from our running kernel 2.6.29 in X8.
-Dual Touch For Cypress Touchpad
It's the real multitouch if you're the lucky one to have Cypress Digitizer.
-'Smartass' Governer For X8
- allows to set max CPU freq when screen is off (to save battery),
- allows to set starting CPU freq when phone awakes (to speed up awake process),
- allows set/change almost all aspects of governor (to suite needs),
- should be a bit more responsive when parameters are well ch
