My Vario, running a qtek rom, does NOT revert back to 180MHz when returning from standby. Just keeps running at 240MHz. The increase in performance in TomTom, Snes9x and TCPMP is staggering.

I have no exotic software installed. Just Pocketinformant and iLauncher.

overclocking

Hi,

i have an SP5, installed the programme, set the clock speed to 262 (higher gives me a reset) and it works great with:

Tomtom, Navigon 5.2 and Skype, thank you very much. Looking foreword to updates etc.

cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Chris09:
I tried the clockprog with 252 and pocketquake, as well as pocketskype.

It makes pocketquake quite playable and skype works almost perfect.

I like the prog as it is now - use it when you need it and it deactivates itself during standby when you do not need it.

I assigned it also to a hardware button - most handy and quick if I need power.

I would not use this prog if it permanently overclocked my processor - the risk of long term negative effects seems to high to me.

Thumbs up for this. This is quite exactly what I needed :)

I'm curious.. has anybody tried to -underclock- their OMAP with this yet? :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tomasz:
@ zeboxx

Have my vario running stable at 168 MHz to see if it saves battery time, because I have a pretty rotten battery (16hrs of standby-time at most) Keeping track of power consumption now and it seems to help a little (10% decrease of power consumption whilst standby) All standard WM5 apps and functions perform fine on this lower clock.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Chris09:
what?! who would do THIS and WHY ?!:shock:

could be useful in order to make the battery life longer ;P

I will try it sometime ... for reading an ebook during a long train journey or flight a little bit "underclocking"could be useful in order to enlarge battery life...

The mem maid tricks works perfectly at 250mhz !

I've put a shortcut into \windows\startup

and made mem maid pointing to it.

So my wizard starts à 250mhz (226 say TCPMP) and get always back to 250mhz after standby or a soft reset

Be sure your Wizard is stable at the freq you choose otherwise it won't stop hanging after soft reset...

Instructions for applying the Overclock utility

Hope this helps those having issues with all the pages of instructions here:

Instructions for overclocking Wizard (tested on QTEK 9100). Use at your own risk!

1. Download the following file and unzip. Save the OmapClock.exe to your \Windows folder on your device: http://xdaforums.com/download.php?id=9181

2. Open File Explorer on your device and open Omapclock.exe. Find the maximum speed that your device will handle without locking up. On each test, test all applications you use. This is important because once you place this in your startup, it will load up automatically and could cause your device to stop responding! 252Mhz works for me. Suspending the device at this point will cause the speed to be reset back to default. Execute Windows\OmapClock.exe again if this happens and you want to continue testing.

3. Download and install Resco File Explorer 2005: http://resco.net

4. Open Resco Explorer and go to the \Windows folder. Locate the OmapClock.exe file and hold the stylus on this file until menu pops. Choose “Copy”.

5. Now browse to \Windows\Startup then hold stylus in an empty area and when menu pops, choose paste shortcut.

6. Hold the stylus on the newly created OmapClock shortcut and choose Properties then click the Shortcut tab.

7. Target should be: “\Windows\OmapClock.exe” –clock 252

Change the 252 to the clock speed you tested in step 2 above.

8. Soft reset and test. Suspending the device will reset the device back to the default speed. This is a secondary test to make sure the device does not lock up!

9. Download and install DinarSoft MemMaid: http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...&N=96806 4294961878&productId=123995&R=123995

10. Open MemMaid and choose the Notification queue button/tab on the bottom (second from left) then click the ADD button.

11. For Program, click the browse button and browse to the shortcut you created in steps 5-7. The location of the shortcut is \Windows\Startup.

12. From the event dropdown choose “The device woke up”.

13. Click Add.

14. Soft reset and you are done. The Clock speed will remain at the specified speed you specified in step 7 even when the device comes out of suspend.

Please let me know if the instructions are not clear.

Here are some battery drain values. I am not sure if they are very accurate because the measurement was very simple: i have looked for the battery meter only, noted the current value, switched PDA on for half an hour and measured again.

Here are the results:

180 MHz (no overclocking): 4% Battery drain

252 MHz: 6%

132 MHz: 3 %

Maybe one can retry the test with always the same conditions:

Soft reset before each test and afterwards the same video for lets say half an hour - better one.

xCPUScaler

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anyone tried xCPUScaler? When I had MPx300 (TI OMAP 730 or 750 processor? not sure... with 200MHz). I could overclock it to 520/512?MHz.

I kept it low to avoid battery drainage and of course avoiding the processor crash.

I also heard/read that new version of xCPUScaler is available?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] blackobsidian:
Hmmm... Would it be possible to under-clock the device but then when an app is used, boost it up to overclocked?

Softkeys

In a nutshell, there is an key called 112 under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys that contains two entries: the (default) value, which contains the label that is displayed on the Today screen (currently set to Calendar), and an Open value, which is currently set to the Calendar applet's full executable path, "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (yes, include the quotes). Simply change both values as you see fit and it will customize the left soft key.

I´ve put the shortcut described earlier in this thread instead of "\Calender.exe"

Works a Charm on the Charmer to 276MHz - ho ho

As a 'benchmark' it decreases my run time on opening Messages from 6seconds to 3seconds And benchmark in TCPMP increases from 550 to 880

It really does fix the big problem with the charmer - lack of processor power - The fact it isn't 'permanent' is good from a power usage point of view - simply adding it to the apps you want to run faster.

To the folks that are concerned about burning the processor I wouldn't worry - set it too high and it just soft - reboots. I would say these processors are set lower than they can work at simply to save power - increaseing their speed is not a problem just battery use increases --- I would say that at 276MHZ battery life drops to that of my XDA2 (ie from 36 hours to approx 8-12? or to put it another way - from a Cell phone to a PDA).

Also Dont forget the value of reducing clock speed - If playing MP3s reduce clock to around 90 and you will get ~ 50% longer play. Although there does seem to be some kind of bug whereby if you increase speed back t0 180 after being on 90 it will often soft reset

Incidentally I found that Reg Hack that makes a 4096 mem cache had quite a favorable effect on performance too - although many seem to suggest it should have no effect at all.

What would be perfect is something like XCPUScalar set at min 90 max 276 - but I beleive that only works on X-Scale with no plans for OMAP according to the web-site
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shahzadkhan15nov:
Hi,

Thanks for raising the point.

When I used XCPUScaler version 2.82, it was also neither mentioned for MPx300 nor for OMAP processors but it worked greaat

You may wanna use the trial version. Their website is http://www.immiersoft.com

After the installation, make sure you dont enable auto-launch at start. Once your machine is up, observe the stability of your device. Then launch it, if you don't see any response within two minutes, soft-reset. Try the same thing again, if still no response, soft-reset and remove the application from your system

regarding xcpuscaler: it CAN'T work on the wizard - no way, as the omap has a completely different structure and the commands to set the cpu clock rate are different!!

just because the programme may run on that device and may show different clock speeds, that doesn't mean the cpu is working with the speed shown by the software!!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] madu:
Large clock difference

Firstly, WHAT AN AMAZING SOFT!!! THANK YOU!

I have i-mate SP5 (WM5 Smartphone). Works no probs up to 264 (not tested more).

The difference is obvious. Much faster.

The slowest I tried was ~100.

I have not had any problems with my phone resetting itself.

The frequency always resets to 180 after standby (some time of inactivity).

BUT, when I set it to low freq about 100 and then go up to 180-200, it freezes and then resets itself.

I belive the problem is in a FAST CHANGE with BIG DIFFERENCE.

Maybe a program should make big changes in 2-3 steps automatically?

Needs more testing.
