[GUIDE] Configure SetCPU not to go past your highest stable clock. - EVO 4G General

If you're anything like me, you've accidentally fat fingered the slider in SetCPU to a setting above your highest stable clock speed or had a friend have a "What's this do?" moment with the same result. Best case, your phone locks up, reboots, and you can then drag the slider back down to a reasonable setting. Worst case, you have "Set on Boot" enabled which results in boot loops, a battery pull, and restoring a backup to sort it out.
I stumbled across a solution to this today by accident.
If you press menu from the SetCPU Main tab and choose the "Device Selection" option, you'll notice two choices. The first one ("Autodetect Speeds") is the only one I'd ever used up to this point. The second ("Show Other Frequency Sets") brings up a list of choices the last of which is "Custom Frequencies". This allows you to create a list of frequencies that SetCPU will use.
First, you need to open a text editor on your computer.
Next, you need to determine what frequencies your CPU and kernel support. To do this, run "Autodetect Speeds" in SetCPU (if you haven't already). Now, start with the slider in SetCPU at its minimum and enter the frequency into the text editor followed by a comma. Next, move the slider enough to raise the frequency one step and enter that number followed by a comma. Repeat until you've entered each frequency step up to your highest stable. It should look something like this:
Code:
245760,
384000,
422400,
460800,
499200,
537600,
576000,
614400,
652800,
691200,
729600,
768000,
806400,
844800,
883200,
921600,
960000,
998400,
1036800,
1075200,
1113600,
1152000,
My highest stable clock speed with the kernel I'm running is 1152000, so that's where I stopped. Once your done, save the list you created as "setcpu.txt" and copy it to the root of your phone's SD card.
Next, open SetCPU, press menu, "Device Selection", "Show other Frequency Sets", and scroll down to "Custom Frequencies". Select "Custom Frequencies", then ok on the "Requesting Root" and "Settings Saved" popups. You'll notice now that the slider only goes up to the highest frequency you included in the .txt file. Assuming you stopped at the highest stable clock speed for your setup, it should now be impossible for clumsy fingers or curious friends to accidentally cause a lockup/reboot or boot loop.

OMAP Overclocking

Has anyone found a better way to overclock the processor? One that stays on at all times?
Thanks -Mike
Hi Mike,
If you mean you want OMAP Clock to run automatically when your device wakes up from sleep mode, then you can make use of Notification Queue.
I use Memmaid and add OMAP Clock into Notification Queue (set it to run when the device wakes up). Now, I can have my Prophet running at my desired speed at all times I use it. For me, it is perfectly OK, if it goes back to its orginal speed when it goes to sleep as I can save some battery.
Anox.
I have bad experience with OverClock my 818pro(ENG OS)
and would like to share with all user.
1. Don't set 276 HZ otherwise it will hang the phone function.
2. Don't set 300 HZ otherwise the PDA will hang.
It will cause the following problem:
1. Indox box cannot work.
2. When incoming phone call, it will automatically shut down the phone. However, outgoing call is fine.
3. Active sync cannot work.
I throught that hard reset can solve the problem but wouldn't work. :shock: It cause me to refesh the ROM from repair centre.
When I set the clock to 276 sometimes the device restarts so now I'm not using it anymore.
For me the original speed is acceptable.
I did crack it at speed 216 MHZ, works fine
I set it at 252 and I see a huge improvement. Avantgo opens faster than on my 624mhz Axim.

Further you can put this overclocked omapclock lnk to the startup directory to have it on oc at the get go...
i've kinda played with the startup order so that it boots up as one of the first programs.
Now i boot up in 1min 45 sec and that's with phonealarm, pocketbreeze, messaging (make it startup so that i don't have to wait 7-10sec everytime i wanna send out a Text or email) all starting up after a soft-reset.

hi can you pls post how to set this to run by every start up !!!
As far as MAX speed... that's individual. My 8125's (Wizard) ... one maxed out at 250 the other at 300 before crashing. It's trial and error. Go to the Wizard forum for details on how to test, and set it up on startup as well as wakeup. the thread says overclocking in the title.
cheers.
Well, the standard safe speed is 240, at least that's what they say most frequently. I also heard Jamin's working fine at 260. Anyway I don't belive there's a big difference between 240 and 276, considering 240 is already 33% faster than the normal clock.
Procedure of Overclocking at every startup
1.) Copy the program to anywhere you like
(e.g. Program Files\OmapClock.exe) In Pocket PC
2.) Copy the file and paste shortcut to anywhere you like
(e.g. Windows\start menu\OmapClock) In Pocket PC (Must use shortcut)
3.) Connect your computer with activesync, copy the shorcut file that store in Pocket PC to your computer.
4.) Use the Window XP software, "Notepad" to open the shortcut file >
Change the content to "\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 216 (Attention :-clock 216 means the speed of overclock is 216. Suggust you use 264 or below.)
5.) After make change the shortcut file, copy this file from computer to replace that shortcut file in the PDA.
6.) Open MemMaid program, select "Notification Queue"
(Second Icon that from left to right)
7.) click "Add" and select Program choose the shortcut file > select Event and choose "The device woke up" and click "Add"
8.) Select "Start Up Program" (Forth Icon that from left to right)
9.) click "Add", find the shortcut file.
10.) Close MemMaid 1.5 program and soft reset.
sas90850 many thanks for the advice.
However I can not keep omapclock running every time the device wakes up. when the device soft resets the clock speed will correctly be set to 252 however the notification que when the device wakes up does not work. can you advice more on the matter? I folloed your exact!! instructions .
thanks again for making things more clear.

This has already been covered in another thread. Do a search on omapclock. It explains how to make the overclock program load everytime the device comes out of standby or when you load specific programs.
Does anybody has problems to the camera overclocking cpu over 204?
Nope am ocing all the time, and no problems with any app, including the camera @252

Thx it's works fine for me ... very good help
Overclock to 252Hz will have auto soft reset problem. Overclock to 240Hz work fine. Just let everyone know this.
heya sas, don't know if this is conclusive, but didn't suffer from auto-soft resets at @252. This observation was before flashing to the S200 qtek 2nd rom.

[v1.53][23-Mar-08] ShantzTodayChanger - Timed Wallpaper\THEME Cycler\App Launcher

Guys,
I've not been getting enough time to work on ShantzTodayChanger anymore (and couple that with the irritation of having to boot into windows just to work into this). The motivation levels are simply not there. I'm trying to see if there is someone willing to take up and continue development for this, so that I can release the source code. If anyone is interested, please drop me a word at the project's home page: Shantz Today Changer Home Page
SHANTZTODAYCHANGER
For queries, bug reports, feature requests, updates and downloads, visit ShantzTodayChanger Home Page
If you like this program, then you can
:: DONATE ::
This small tool will cycle ur today background or theme after a set interval of time.
Usage:
1. Make a folder on ur device (preferably not on storage card.) and extract all the files (mainly ShantzTodayChanger.exe, TdyChangerCfg.exe, gsgetfile.dll (might not be visible to u depending on ur explorer settings) and Readme.htm) to this folder.
2. IMP: Do not rename any files.
3. Run the TdyChangerCfg.exe.
4. Set options through the dialog that opens and press apply button (Pressing the native WM OK button will discard all your changes)
5. Options:
i)Choose image type (.gif\.jpg\.png) or theme(.tsk) to be cycled.
ii)If the input files (images or themes) are not in the folder where exes are kept, then you can check the box (underneath the .gif option) and give the "FULL and ABSOLUTE" path of where the files are kept. You can either input the path thru keyboard or choose it graphically by pressing the button (...) next to it.
iii)If you want to run a file after every cycle interval, check the corresponding box and provide the "FULL and ABSOLUTE" path of the file to be run. You can either input the path thru keyboard or choose it graphically by pressing the button (...) next to it.
iv) If you want some files to be avoided during cycling, put a file mask. The program will look for this mask to appear anywhere in the name of the files and will avoid it if found. (Wildcards are not supported. Choose time option has to be checked for this to work)
v) Choose the period for which mask option has to be used. If you choose a time period and leave mask as empty, then during that time no cycling will be done. If you want to avoid some files all the time, then time period should be chosen to cover all 24 hrs of the day.
vi)enter the desired interval between cycling of images\themes.
vii)If you choose a period for the mask, another check box (Consider mask period for exe also) will be enabled. Checking this box will mean that the specified exe will be run only if an image\theme is changed during that cycle. If you dont check this, then exe will be run after every cycle even if there is no change in the image\theme.
6. When you want to stop the cycling, press "STOP Cycling" button.
Additional Notes:
1. I've tested it only on my WM6 HTC Wizard and WM5 emulator. Might work with other devices/OS's but not sure...
2. Doesnt have to be running constantly. So saves resources when not active.
3. Survives soft resets as well.
4. Even takes care of the situation if your phone is off when the time to cycle is reached. Will cycle as soon as ur phone comes back on in this situation.
Planned Updates:
i) Suggestions invited. I have a lot of updates in mind but will incorporate those only which are requested by you.
Known Issues:
i) If the mask option is selected, then in a very particular situation, the app will miss a cycle.
This can be taken care of but not in my priority list because this can be fixed only by rewriting the complete cycling code which is quite a bit. So, will fix it if I get some time from my other projects.
ii) If after maknig the configuration, you see the screen flash for a second at the right times, but the backfround doesn't change, then do this:
- Go to : Settings...today....appearance
- un-check "Use this picture as background"
- start the program using "startTodayChanger.lnk" or TdyChangerCfg (Apply button)
(Thnx to CWKJ for reporting this bug and fix, and to eric for reminding me about it)
End Note:
Like every software, this one is also bound to have bugs, please report it asap.
Though ShantzTodayChanger does not run continuously but sometimes some apps that close all processes automatically (like SPB backup) might clash in schedule with ShantzTodayChanger and close it when it starts to run. In such a case (which is quite unlikely), the app might not be able to set a notification for next cycle, so if u face this situation, then run the config again.
Version History:
1.53 - 23-March-08 -> RECOMMENDED UPDATE
i)Theme Color Detection has been improved a lot. Should work much more accurately now.
1.52 - 11-Aug-07 ->
i) Fixed another bug for the "time period" option.
ii) Made a little optimization in the code.
1.51 - 05-Aug-07 ->
i) Fixed a bug which prevented the "time period" option from working properly.
ii) Fixed a bug where wallpapers might not change if certain particular themes were installed before change cycle happens
iii) Fixed a bug where the time period option was not remembered properly by the GUI.
iv) Added option to allow user to choose whether to run the user specified file (exe\lnk) after every cycle interval only if there was a change in image\theme during that cycle.
v) Made a few small changes to the GUI to prevent users from making incorrect settings.
1.50 - 29-July-07 ->MAJOR UPDATE
i) Added option to specify a mask to avoid files having that mask
ii) Added option to specify the time period during which the mask has to be considered
iii) Added code to ensure that if mask is empty and a period is chosen, then no rotation is done during that period.
iv) Added option to run a user specified file after every cycle interval.
v) Fixed bug where the jpg and png options were not working earlier.
vi) Clicking help button now opens help in Pocket Internet Explorer.
vii) Fixed many more subtle bugs that manifest themselves and very peculiar situations.
viii) Optimized the code a bit at a few places.
ix) Also see "Known Issues" section above.
x) Removed the "append to previous info" box as now the app remembers old info correctly.
1.33 - 18-July-07 ->

it may be interesting
nice release...will try it soon
Hey Shantz! thanks so much for this, unfortunatley it doesn't run on my Hermes!
And I don't know how to debug it so you can take a look at it.
Feature request: JPG or PNG support would be great. Also, a way to specify where the files reside, maybe command line? If argument is not present at command line, then default to install directory (program root)
Thanks Shantz!!
Dax.
@dax: well, I'll add a config module soon for the image paths etc.
Will see if jpg/png support is feasible enuff...
About the hermes, i'll send you a debug build and try to run that. But first of all, tell me whether you can find a registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ShantzTodayChanger" and if its there then can you tell me the objects present inside it along with their values...

Hi
Just made this. This small tool will cycle ur today background / wallpaper after a set interval of time.
Usage:
1. Make a folder on ur device (preferably not on storage card. Its just 8KB anyways) and extract the ShantzTodayChanger.exe to this folder.
2. Copy the image files that you want to set as ur today background to this folder.
[bold]IMP:The files should be gif and moreover, the size (widthxheight) of the images should be taken care of by you in advanced, otherwise they might be stretched or cropped[/bold]
3. Run the ShantzTodayChanger.exe.
4. This will create two shortcuts in ur folder. startTdyChngr.lnk and stopTdyChngr.lnk.
5. Now just run startTdyChngr.lnk. The default time gap between cycling is 600sec. You can modify the shortcut to choose ur own time (in sec).
6. When you want to stop the cycling, just run stopTdyChngr.lnk.
Additional Notes:
1. You can create your own shortcuts if you want. Basically the ShantzTodayChanger.exe works on following command line arguments (without the quotes):
i) "-g 600" - start cycling images. replace 600 by ur own time in seconds. Keep it more than 1 minute preferably.
ii) "-s" - stop cycling.
iii) "-c" - cycle immediately. DONT USE THIS OPTION. MIGHT CREATE PROBLEMS.
2. I've tested it only on my WM6 HTC Wizard and WM5 emulator. Might work with other devices/OS's but not sure...
3. It runs only when wallpaper has to be changed. So saves resources when not active.
4. Survives soft resets as well.
5. Even takes care of the situation if your phone is off when the time to cycle is reached. Will cycle as soon as ur phone comes back on in this situation.

cool,
i was actually thinking of something like this...
feature request????
how about changing the entire theme....
(what i am planning here is having different themes during different times of the day)
along with it say can you make it check the time (say instead of 600s i would like to change it at 12, 3, 6 and 9...)
whole theme changer(tsk), which will change system solors would be WROBG
@fallenCzar: Whole Theme Changer isn't on the list right now...Maybe I can work on it when I get a few other things together first..
along with it say can you make it check the time (say instead of 600s i would like to change it at 12, 3, 6 and 9...)

Do you mean, you want to change it at a specific time of the day? Hmmm, I may try to include an option to specify the "cycle start time" along with the gap, which should take care of this...
not working on my o2 XDA II mini win 2003SE.it says not a valid pocket pc....
@Sathya: It works only on WM5 and WM6. I'll see if just a simple compilation for the WM2003 platform will work and let you know...
@ALL: Those who have tried it on their WM5/WM6 devices, please let me know if its working ok for you or not.
BTW, i've started working on a few updates, check in Post #1..I think I'll make two versions for this, a normal one and an extended one, so that those who want a smaller footprint can use the normal version...
Hey seem to be a nice work shantzg001, checking it out soon ...
Thnx Shailesh, did u get time to run it??
do not work on my Trinity
Shantz,
Just seen this. Many many thanks for your efforts here, most appreciated.
Not had chance to try it yet but most reports sem to be coming back that it doesn't seem to work on a Tytn/WM5 machine? What's your take on that?
Cheers
WB
Hmmm, it works perfectly on my WM6 HTC Wizard and the WM5 emulator as well...Not getting any time right now to look more..Will post a debug build tonight..But can someone please check the registry. I had said earlier also to check under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ShantzTodayChanger, to report back what all settings exist there, after you have completed all the process...
Found some problems with the code...Have removed the utility till further notice...
Found out part of the problem by inspecting a colleague's device...Its because of how some devices behave to background change if themes are installed..
Will make the change when i go back home tonight and also see if there is any other problem...
Fixed the bug...It should be ok now for all WM5/WM6 devices..
With 1.11 it now works fine!
Is it possible to make it work not only with gif files but with tsk too

Repetitive warning sound when battery low

Need a repetitive loud warning sound (Wav.) when my battery needs recharging.
I do have the freeware Batti 2.4 however this only gives me a single warning sound at Battery-low and one further single warning at critical, and then only when it’s not asleep. As I often leave my Diamond on my desk at home for two or three days at a time without even going to it (unless someone rings me) I forget to check if it needs re-charging, previously it has gone flat and turned itself off without me realising.
By playing with the registry I did manage to make visible under Sounds & Notifications /Event: the Low Battery warning settings (which has since disappeared again?) however when it was there I set a loud sound and checked repeat, but then the sounds at first come every few seconds (most annoying) when the battery had droped to 10% with their frequency gradually diminishing and then desisting after about 15 minutes (no good to me if I’m not in earshot during that 15 minutes) I would prefer them to continue indefinitely until I interact on the low battery warning.
Can anyone either help with the Reg Settings or suggest something to help please?
How to control the Low Battery warning
This should be a fairly coherent way of displaying/controlling the Low Battery warning on a Windows-6 PPC
1. Search for the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\.
2. If you find this key, within it create a new String value, name it Default and set its value to Low battery warning.
3. Set Available Options to decimal (31)
4. Set Options to decimal (9) for a single warning, (25) for a repeated warning.
5. Now move to Start -> Settings -> Personal tab -> Sounds & Notifications applet -> Notifications tab, choose Low battery warning value from the Select an event drop-down menu and set whatever you want.
However the repeated warning is rubbish as at first it repeats annoyingly every 20 seconds tapering off to a final 5 minutes and then totally ceases. If someone could tell us how to amend this to repeating a warning perhaps only every 4 minutes this would be superb.

If you try this, please post your experience. I need to know if it's just me.

Make sure you read all of it before you start.
I still don't understand that "333mhz" thing.. My phone is so slow when i push the CPU to 333mhz.
Those are just my preferences.
You can keep it at the max if you'd like though.
The if i keep it at 333mhz then my battery can last a lot longer since any higher range can't be accessed.

For screen off, i think it's a good idea.. But with that you will loose time at waiting your phone, so your phone will be more at 333mhz.. So you will consume as much power..

True. But the power consume only happens when the screen turns on. After the screen is on, it resumes MAX.
very nice post,
I did all of the above und my phone seems kinda faster and also the battery lasts longer!

[Q] NFC Phone Unlock - Stock, no root

Moderators - I tried searching for a thread, I couldn't find a way to do this on a stock ROM without root. Post a link to the thread if there exists one please? Thanks in advance.
Everybody else: if you have an idea how to get this working, please help out. I've wracked my brains to no avail. If anyone has tried this out, let me know if this works for you as well.
Edit: I've added the XML file below
My Phone:
Nexus 4, stock ROM, no root.
Requirement:
Use an NFC tag to unlock my phone, ensure no one else can access the phone without the tag/password.
Status:
Work-in-progress, here's how.
Disclaimer:
Phone: I almost got locked out of my phone. I'm not responsible if you get locked out of your phone. Please use some caution (and don't set the time delay for less than 10-20s before you nail it)
Security: Till the lock engages, your phone is insecure. If this is not acceptable, please don't try this.
1. Install Tasker - device admin
2. Install Secure Settings - device admin
Tasker:
Tasks
1. Uncheck "Beginner Mode" under the UI tab in preferences
2. Create a variable: (I used, a variable name "%NFC")
3. Create a task - Set variable %NFC to 1 (I used "NFC YES")
4. Create a task with the following actions - Clear password using secure settings, disable keyguard using secure settings (I named mine "Phone Unlock")
5. Create a task with the following actions - wait for 10s (This is my problem area, keep this high or you will be locked out of your phone!!),Enter If condition (if %NFC=0) - set pin using secure settings, enable keyguard using secure settings, system lock (you can use the action built into tasker for this) - (I named mine "Phone Lock")
Contexts
1. Display on --> Run Task --> Phone Lock
2. Display off --> Run Task --> Phone unlock
Use an NFC Tag Writer to configure a tag (I used AnyTAG NFC Launcher) - Run a tasker task to change the tasker variable to 1 (Run "NFC YES" in my case)
You should be done.
This is how it should work - You turn your display on and place the tag under your phone. This will make Tasker change your variable "%NFC" to 1. As long as your variable value is not "0", your phone will remain unlocked. If you do not bring your tag close to your phone, your phone will lock after (10s or 20 or however long you've set the timer)
The Problem:
This works like a charm if I use the NFC tag every single time (i.e. never allow my screen to lock). If I don't use the tag even once, the tag doesn't get read, the variable doesn't change, my phone locks after the time expires.
If anyone can help me with this, that would be great!
Thanks in advance
I don't know if you've figured this out yet or not, but you might want to try having it check if NFC = 1, if it doesn't, re-enable the keyguard / pin and lock / unlock the screen so it shows up. This would make it so that if you used NFC, it would stay open, but if you didn't, you would still be able to unlock your phone with the pin.
You might have to throw a few ms of wait time in there somewhere for it to pick up on the setting changes before locking / unlocking or something.
Just an idea. I'll try it out later if I have time.
