Hi guys,
I wanted to overclock my Elf, but I don't found an usefull tool. I've tested HomePlus (aka Battery Status), but there is no config - and I don't need any HomePlus (I used Onyx with M2D ;-)).
Is there an other good tool to overclock?
Have fun,
MCXSC
HOme plus for OMAP; There are config, tap Advanced..
Use Second Today Screen for have Manilla and Overclock on same time.

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-omapclock-v2-0.html have you tried this one? And use http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-omapclockplus-v0-0-4-omapclock-helper.html with it.
I would recommend you to forget this! The elf is not good for overclocking!

Why is that ?
I am overlocking my Elf to 286 Mhz for more than a year without any problems
I am using BatteryStatus
I cant even Overclock my Elf at 221Mhz without getting serious problems!
There are people around saying they can OC more 312mhz but i dont believe them!
I use HomePlus and my Elf is clocked at 312Mhz without problems.
Search the HomePlus at www.softpedia.com
touch here too, and oc to 286 no problems yet. i'm using batterystatus/homescreen++
After many attempts I can only overclock my Touch to 234Mhz without encountering any lockups. Good job to the rest of you, getting the better CPU's off the assembly line.
To all people having problems OC'ing, try a higher speed. My elfin crashed when I OC'd to 247. Now I've set it to 273, and it works fine. Weird. I've also turned off CPUScaler because it goes to 247 and some unstable frequencies sometimes.
It runs GREAT. Rock-solid, and beautifully smooth.
Edit: Stress-tested successfully by running a TCPMP benchmark on a full-length movie, leaving it two inches behind my laptop vent. I call it the 'Tropical stresstest'.
htedum or anyone else overclocking past 250Mhz, I'm wondering doesn't it take a toll on battery life. I tend to read lots of books on my Touch and with the scaler on it throttles down to 143Mhz during page reading, and I find that helps keep the battery fresh since it not clocked high constantly.
How dramatically does the battery life get influenced with the Touch clocked so high?
I think I don't have any problem with overclocking the Touch (BatteryStatus) when working on battery (it only crashes occasionally), but the Touch turns it self off completely or hangs quite often when I connect it to the PC. So in order to avoid the crash, I always have to remember to turn off the overclocking mode before plug it in my PC, which I usually don't, and then it crashed
Did anyone experience the same problem ? I'm about to give up the overclocking thing, even though I'm not really satisfied with the performance of the Touch.
I have my Touch overclocked to 624Mhz, and I have no problems at all. However my battery gets eatin up pretty fast at times. I found this file over at www.smartphonejunkie.com. Good stuff
Safe overclocking speed.
Can anyone please help me in letting me know the safe overclocking speed for Elf.
Or is it that we have to just try new nos and check?

a touch (elf) that overclocks from 201MHz to 624MHz is just plain BS!
max has always been 312MHz and not for everyone.
safe option is 234 or 247MHz.
I personally underclock at 87MHz and scale up to 260MHz when using GPS.
What about using OmapClock 0.2? I've been using this software quite a long time.. It did not giving me any problem. Normally,i'll clocked it to 260mhz. Stable and fast.. But this software has a bug is that the clock will gone once you switch your phone to sleep mode. When you turn it back on, it will go back to 201mhz. I've settle the problem by bundle with Memmaid software. Puting a shortcut in to memmaid's notification queue and it will continue to clock at 260mhz when the phone wake up. First, you have to create a shortcut by using notepad and wrote :
40#"\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 260
Save it to exactly "OmapClock.lnk" then put it into My Device/Windows/start menu, next using memmaid add a new entry to the notification queue pointing to the above shortcut and with the argument "AppRunAfterWakeUp". This makes the app run and set the higher freq everytime you switch back on your phone.
Will the phone still running at 260mhz when it sleeping? NO, don't ask this question again.
Cheer, MD.

Try OmapClockPlus. It's OmapClock extension which fixes your problem.
Ok, Before I start, I'd just like to note that this is my very first Thread on XDA, so if this is the "wrong section" and what not, sorry.
Now, If somebody has already figured this out and has a source, please direct me towards it, because I simply couldn't find it, Googling for my life! But I actually figured out a way myself and thought I'd share it in case this is still unheard of.
It's quite simple really, from my research on the CPUs that are in these HTC Devices, I figured MSM7kCpuSpeed should do it, but whenever I adjusted the clock in there, the phone froze, even under clocking froze the phone, then after toying around with other clocking programs, I discovered the phone apparently does some kind of auto CPU Scaling CONSTANTLY, so I looked for a way to disable this, and found Pocket Hack Master. and to my surprise, it worked! MSM7kCpuSpeed no longer froze the phone with the Auto Scaling disabled!
So here's how to in short:
1. Download and install Pocket Hack Master, and under File > Edit > Settings > Advanced. Tick "Disable Device Built-in Scaling" then tap "Ok" and then "Minimize" Make sure Pocket Hack Master DOES NOT CLOSE! Keep it open and MINIMIZED.
2. Download and install MSM7kCpuSpeed, Overclock and enjoy!
I've only gotten my Treo Pro up to about 730mhz without any crashing. but this actually works! I haven't tested with some kind of Benchmark, but I tested with many different emulators, and they are indeed much faster!
And that's it! Enjoy!
Hi there, I tried your overclocking solution but I got a problem, when I try to run MSM7kCpuSpeed I get an error message and the application does not open. I have Pocket Hack Master running with the mentioned setting activated.
Any ideas? I installed MSM7CpuSpeed v2. Looks like the device is not supported from what I have read in the MSM7CpuSpeed thread. I have the unlocked GSM Treo Pro. Perhaps you are running the CDMA device?
Would love to overclock my Treo Pro.
Yea, I do have the CDMA version, but I don't see why that would make the program not work... Unless the GSM Version really has a different CPU? and not just clocked at a different level.
Maybe you need Compact Framwork 3.5 or higher? I dont know if its needed to run MSM7kCpuSpeed, but give that a check.
Both the CDMA and GSM versions of the Treo Pro have the Qualcomm MSM7201 chipset. The difference is the clock speed; the CDMA runs at 528MHz, while the GSM runs at 400MHz.
Thanks for the info.... hummm, I just checked and my TP has CF 3.5 installed. Maybe it has to do with my ROM. I am using Mordaz 6.5 21884 in Spanish. Are you in 6.5 or maybe 6.1? Perhaps the language?

I'm using a 6.1 - 21057 rom from RaiderFan, English.
Well, I really don't know what to tell you. this really does work... for me at least...
... Hmmm, I don't know if this could have something to do with it, but I am using RealVGA at 96 DPI.
I'm using the same rom but in Dutch. Anyways I also get the same failure report.
Well I'm going to instal another rom today, so I will let you know if that is a game changer.
edit: Tried with the 21903 and 28.... (both 6.5) but still nothing and the same error.
xXHawkeyeXx can you maybe post the details about which pocket hack master and MSM7kCpuSpeed you used for overclocking?
I do got a question regarding the battery. It seems that the apps are really draining my battery, do you also notice that or is it just me?

Im using PHM (Pocket Hack Master) Version 4.36.062, Msm7kCpuSpeed Version 2.
As for battery, I've been able to keep my Treo Pro steady at 768mhz, and theres only a very small decrease in battery life.
Hmmmm.... You know, I had discovered 2 different ways to overclock the Treo Pro, I didn't even bother mentioning the other method, because its a bit tricky and requires you to be fast, but it seems more reliable, however it only has 1 clock choice and thats 768mhz.
well, here it is: You need to download NueOverclockTest (Google NueOverclockTest, wont let me post links)
After you install it, theres 2 ways to do this, if your lucky, you can just open PHM to stop the CPU scaling, then just go ahead and use NueOverclockTest to overclock to 768 Mhz. However for me, after I did that a few times, it didn't seem to work anymore untill i started doing it the tricky way, witch goes like this.
First, you have to have PHM CLOSED, then you gotta have a way to open PHM real fast, either by setting one of your keys to open it, or whatever, next what you do is this, open up NueOverclockTest and click "ok" twice till it gets to the "Your current clock speed is xxx.xx Mhz, set clock speed to 768.00 Mhz?", when it gets to that menu, sit and wait for about 10 seconds, whats happening at this point is your Treo Pro's CPU is scaling a bit for whatever reason, and by waiting 10 seconds, it should scale to 400Mhz and sit there, if you click "Ok" while it isn't scaled to 400mhz, the phone will just freeze, now, IMMEDIATELY after you click "ok", open PHM as fast as possible, otherwise before it can open and stop the scaling, your phone will just reset back down to 400mhz...
there is 1 problem though, these instructions are for my Treo Pro witch is clocked at 528, as you already know.... I don't know if its the big jump in CPU clock that freezes the phone, but if is, jumping from 400 to 768 might still be too big of a jump and will just freeze....
now, if it does work for you, the way I check to make sure I did it fast enough, is to use Nue Clock Control to see if it says "768mhz". I also use Nue Clock Control to clock my phone back down, Because closing PHM and letting it scale back down automatically only froze my phone. Letting my phone go to sleep also freezes it.
Well, thats it! Good luck!
xXHawkeyeXx, thank you so much for the tutorial!
But it is probably the device itself. None of the hacks worked for the GSM version, I even downgraded to wm 6.1 but nothing.
Still happy with 6.1 though =)

Awww, but we can't just give up there...
Its been confirmed that both devices use the same exact CPU, just clocked to a different default level. The oddest thing is, there's no reason Msm7kCpuSpeed shouldn't be starting up, I'm about ready to hard reset my phone and starting clean to see what exactly it was I did without noticing to get Msm7kCpuSpeed to start...
It would be a darn shame, I love the Treo Pro, and want other fellow Treo Pro owners to experience the joy of overclocking.
Yea, 6.1 does seem to run better IMO.
...well, if I can convince my self to try a hard reset, I'll let it be known, just that it would be a lot of work setting my phone up again.
Hi guys, I have not been able to try another ROM yet, I will give it a try in the weekend.
Ruben__ about the ROMS you tried, were they in english? Sometimes developers create their apps in english and do not support another languages...
Edit: looks like a couple of posts in the MSM7K... thread point to the Treo Pro.

Yeah, but it looks like the guy in that first post has his info a bit backwards... The CDMA Treo Pro isn't the one with the 400 Mhz clock.
At any rate, looking forward to hear how that trying a different ROM goes. Perhaps it was that all along since you both weren't using English ROMs.
I'll be trying this on my unlocked GSM Treo Pro, with stock English ROM build 19216.1.0.5, this weekend and report back my findings.
Just tried with 6.5 21884 Mord4z ROM in english (GSM unlocked Treo Pro) but unfortunately the same error message when opening MSM7... maybe other ROMS might work. I hope someone else has better luck than me!

That is some real Palm Treo Bro-ttitude!
But seriously don't! It is a pain to set things up again.
@ guilledil
I have tried different roms and nothing worked for me but I did find a program which is not that great but it does something. It's called 'speedbooster' and it doesn't really 'overclock' the phone but let you prioritize the cpu for program's. It will also let you improve the video speed but it's not that noticeable and it really drains my battery.
I think we gsm'ers are stuck @ 400 mhz
MSM failed to run on my stock unlocked GSM Treo Pro. It complained about the Compact Framework being too old on my device.
@hockeyfan: I think stock GSM does not have CF installed by default. In Mord4z 6.5 21884 ROM it comes installed. You could try installing CF 3.5 but it is not working for me in wm6.5.
@ruben__: I have been using Speedbooster for quite some time now and it does what it says... it is not overclocking but it is something. Guess other Treo Pro owners could try it. Well, we tried it but as you said, we GSM'ers only get 400 mhz!!
there's no way to overclock treo pro.i've tried many ways,but all lose.
