Hi temiatwork,

I haven't experienced any problems with soft resetting, nor any influence over the calender. OmapScalerLite is exactly the same code as OmapScaler, just without the MainForm class (the GUI). Oh, and it runs a timer thread instead of a form timer, but that's it, so I'd be surprised if those problems you mentioned were related to OmapScalerLite, especially if they did not happen with OmapScaler.

Secondly, it can be seen / terminated from the task manager, go into the task manager and click on Menu in the bottom right, then View, then Change mode, and you will see all the processes there, including OmapScalerLite. It is not in the other view because it does not have a window.

To tell if it is overclocking, watch OmapClock, if you hide it and then open it again it will refresh the current clock and you should be able to see that changing.

I've also noticed that when I load OmapScalerLite, the windows "busy" icon appears and does not go away until you open another window, even tho the program has probably long since finished loading. Don't know if this affects anything else.

Edit - oh, and also OmapScaler/Lite seems to kill an ActiveSync connection, although this might be due to the device not being able to handle an AS connection when underclocked.

Oliy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] temiatwork:
Thank Oliy,

I am on WM5 and the task manager i use is the start-setting-running program list and it does not show any menu button so there is no way of me knowing if any omap appli is running. i will try running OmapScalerLite again and see if what i mention shows up again.

this also mean that theres no point of me running OmapScalerLite at startup then if it is a one time execution, right? but then again how should i know if it is running if it doesnt show any task.

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] temiatwork:
... follow up after 40 minutes...

With QTEK S200, i can say that running OmapScalerLite (or OmapScaler for that matter) re-SoftResets my ppc by itself after 10 to 15 minutes (i re run it after the 1st SoftRest and it re-SoftReset by itself after 15min while at sleep mode). I dont know why and i will try to find out why...

Is this a similar problem with "ghazaly"?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uforia:
Sorry just trying to work out if I am doin this all right for my I-Mate JAMin device.

If I download omapscaler 0.11 and put it in my /Windows directory, set the options say 240 overclock 200 default and 150 underclock. Do I need to have omapscaler run on startup and leave in the background running to get overclock working?

Do I not need Omapclock anymore then? And if I do use omapclock itself i just need to run it on startup aswell and leave active?

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Turist:
Hi Oliy!

Even when you didnt solve the problem time is not wasted i think :) negative result can also be usefull.

Thus maybe it would be better finish with OmapSaler fine tuning first, as it seems to be stable enough?

i mean "start minimized" chheckbox and fix a bug with "overclock" checkbox not being initialized properly (as i understood it simply don`t initialize from cfg.file on startup)

You are doing very good job!

BR!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lanwarrior:
Maybe the soft-resets occured because you have Spb Pocket Plus installed? I used OmapClock 2.0 and it revert the clock back after every suspend due to the "Safe Mode" feature of PocketPlus.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Turist:
OmapScaler works just fine for me with last version of Spb+
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] loom:
Just wanna thank you Oliy for that great job !

Is your software released as OpenSource :?: I'd love to translate it in French...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oliy:
Hi Loom,

I'm not going to release it as open source for the moment, as I have found it to be much more popular than I expect it and a possible source of revenue at some point ( I am a student with big debts!).

There isn't that much to translate into French, at some point I was going to write a small user guide which I will publish explaining how to use it, if you would like to translate that into french I will gladly distribute it with the program.

Oliy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Turist:
I hope active beta-testers will get a special price? ;)

seriously: maybe you will find a way to separate language resources from app code? then it could be translated into any language adding a big + to its scoreboard :)

PS: "start minimized" please!!! *kneels down ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
I found this a bit too unstable to use long term - it keeps soft resetting when going into standby mode.(using the lite version and startup lnk with config.xml) I only found one setting that did not do this. I can see this has good potential though!!

Oily I have put everything including lnk files and omapclock.exe and omapscaler.exe plus the lite version including startup link in a cab file for easier installation. Credit given to intruders and yourself. If its ok by you i will post the cab - but thought i would check first as its not my project.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Meierhans:
Thx for this great little tool. I´m a PPC noob, so excuse me if my question is stupid. I took some days to get into matter. Hope you wont make a Plus version.. but I could understand.

OmapScalerLite just shows me the circling windows icon for loading, nothing happens. XML file is in folder.

CPU Check says:

Counter Speed: 1.000 Khz

Load: 1-10 when idle

Count Data: around 200 ms

Idle Data: around 150-200

Non Lite version seems to run fine.

Me to stupid to start it the right way?

System is XDA Neo with actual german O2 ROM.

In worst case(s), could someone trow me a link how to start programs in backgrounds so they don`t show up in Taskmanagers like Inclose Mobile?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Tried this and seems to work fine on my Orange M600 - but - ActiveSync becomes tempramental with it running so have removed it for now. I'll try it again if a fix is published for this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oliy:
Hi all,

Mark, thanks for making the cab file, feel free to post it, as long as the xml file is either missing or empty - this is so that people can set their own settings rather than using ones which might not work!

If it soft resets, you could try reducing the overclock step.

Meierhans, I am aware of the issue where the windows loading icon does not go away. However, if you click on another window it will go away. I'm not sure why it does this, it probably has something to do with the timing thread which I use.

TheBrit, the same thing happens to me - ActiveSync keeps disconnecting if I run the programs. I havn't found out how to fix it yet.

Oliy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
Thanks oily, I am glad to help, find enclosed cab as promised. This places omapscaler.exe, omapscalerlite.exe and omapclock.exe in the \windows directory. It also places a link to omapscalerlite.exe in the windows\startup folder and shortcuts to omapscaler and omapclock in the start menu\programs\omap folder. As oily requested all settings default to 200Mhz - so you can change to suit your requirements.

Copy cab to device, click on cab through file explorer and install, then soft reset.

N.B. After coming out of standby omapscalerlite takes a few seconds to kick in before you see an increase in clock speed.

EDIT 5/7/06 Cab updated so there is no destination dialog - installs directly to \windows

First version is with omapscalerlite second version is without omapcalerlite

EDIT 2 I have made a third version which I have called overclock240.cab - this just has omapclock and omapscalerlite and config set to 240 on all parameters for constant 240Mhz overclocking. So far seems v. stable on my device only occasional disconnection from activesync. Install cab and then soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] loom:
I just wanna warn you that the OmapScaler.exe is getting larger and larger on my system, about 1.33Mb in MEMMAID Running processes...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
If you do manage to fix this then you have something that can make you some money. 8)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] biolover:
Thax. Now I know the reason the ActiveSync disconnets after several minutes connection. Originally I guessed it's might because the new ROM on my T-mobile MDA.

Oliy, I have an ideal to resolve the problem. Could you make an upgrade for the Omapscaler to fix the CPU clock to a stable value when an out power supply or an USB connection exists. I remember when I overclock the CPU to 240MHz by SmartSKey and Omapclock, I never met such disconnecting of ActiveSync.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luke79:
hello guys,i have s200 qtek,is it better to use omapclock and memaid or omapscaler that you provide? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Having tried both I would say MemMaid. Omapscaler, while it has great potential, still needs a bit of work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smoothbond:
So you still havent got it working properly on your spv m600?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
I have noticed when I have used omapscalerlite and all settings set to 240Mhz (with overclocked240 cab above) the disconnects with activesync are quite infrequent. Biolover why not try this setup?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Prerna:
Can these .cabs be uses as sole application or should it be combined?

I'm a bit confused...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I have OMAPCLOCK working with MemMaid. My M600 is running nicely at 240MHz.

I have stopped using OMAPSCALER for this purpose at the moment because of its current issues.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oliy:
Hi guys,

Unfortunately I haven't had time to do anything on it for a while because I've started my job in London.

However, I am working with some software geniuses so I might be able to get some help on it!

Things I will try and fix soon:

1. Memory leak

2. ActiveSync

3. Annoying "loading" icon not disappearing with OmapScalerLite.

Oliy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
Prerna - you can use one of the cabs as an all in one application
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DeniaL:
sounds great...the ActiveSync issue I can live with, because i'll just have to remember to kill the process with smallmenu before I plug it in...the pluses to this program far outweight the negatives IMO. I think this program has TONS of potential and I wish I could program so that I could help. This could prove to be a huge money maker for you in the future Oily. I don't pay for much, but if this program had a few more features and more customizable options (and the activesync fix) I would gladly pay $15 USD for it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DeniaL:
Also Oily, just another thought as far as battery usage was concerned...could you add a THIRD variable for changing CPU speed? I would love to try to set my CPU MHz to like 30MHz but only allow that speed at <5% usage. Anytime it jumps above 5% usage it could then use the current setup. This way, if your phone is just idle the CPU should be barely using any power at all (useful if you forget to charge the phone at night or if you don't need to use your phone all day). The latter is rare but does happen to me on occasion and this way my battery could maybe make it 2 days w/out being charged :) Thanks again Oily.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] biolover:
I don't think set CPU to 30MHz is possible. I'v tried with OmapClock solely, the lowest clock should be 60MHz and the highest one is arround 264MHz for WIZA200. Also, <5% usage, even <1% usage, is very frequent after some program starts and running under waiting mode. You may try the following set:

Overclock: 260MHz

above 85% load

Underclock: 80MHz

blow 2% load

Default sppeed: 220MHz

Max clock step: 10MHz

Update period: 1500ms

Clock threshold: 1periods
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Prerna:
Cool, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WarezAppz:
Actually this is quite good. What would be another nice feature is to add the current clock to the today screen somewhere - I like to know what speed my processor is using.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bratag:
http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=55782
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WarezAppz:
Um, way off base. I want to use the OMAPScaler, not that guys application. thanks for your efforts but that is irrelevant to why I asked here instead of there.

8)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
You can disable the omapclock feature on that plugin and still display clock speed on the today screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WarezAppz:
Still . . .

With the exception that it is still a seperate application from the one that already is doing what I want it to. The point is that I am looking for a total solution not a mix-n-match solution. It is a suggestion. Again you efforts are appreciated, but what I am saying is integrate the feature into this one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oliy:
Unfortunately I have no time to develop this app at the moment, as I am flat out at work. It is a good idea however my program does not currently read actual clock speed, it only displays the speed which it attempts to set the clock at.

In September I will finish my internship and then hopefully I will have time to work on this (along with a thousand other things!).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bratag:
Same problem with 2.24 X rom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meschle:
The lite version seems less stable on some roms than omapscaler.exe - uninstall the setup you have and try the 'no lite' cab instead you should find that more stable.

Feature Request...

Hi to everyone, I'm not onto posting too much on forums but ur omapscaler tool is simple great Oliy.

I have updated the following settings:

Overclock 250 if 65%+

Underclock 120 if 5%-

Max clock step 25

and it proofs itself to be more stable than ever.

I use a lot windows media player on my SPV m3000 device (Qtek 9100), program which keeps my phone loaded somewhere ~20%-30% but it get's overclocked all the time to 250. Would be great if in config.xml would be 2 paires of overclock/underclock settings.

Ex: Overclock1/Overclock2 and Underclock1/Underclock2 , as I'd be more happy when using some apps to keep the clock somewhere at it's default speed.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Prerna:
I read most comments here, and still trying to understand a few points:

-Does the app need to be launched after each soft reset?

-The ticks get empty after relaunching the app; is that normal?

-My HTC Wizard often freezes while setting the parameters of Omapscaler.

Thanks for your help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -Tj-:
Hello, I was just lurking and trying out this cool piece of software when I noticed a couple things going on with my Cingular 8125 while using it. The first was that the screen became 'noisy' when underclocked to 50MHz or so, but I figured that was probably normal for that speed. The second was that my USB ActiveSync connection died. I was also given a popup warning that a USB device had malfunctioned. When I did a soft reset, my device hanged at the splash screen. A hard reset after that brought it back to normal, but my device was unrecognized in Windows. Tests on other USB ports yielded only one different result, which was "device installed, but problems during installation." It seems to be back to normal again, but I'd rather not try overclocking or underclocking it again...

Any ideas on what might have happened?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
No...not if you create a shortcut for it.

Omapscaler is a bit unstable at the moment, it has great potential but needs more work.

I'm using this now for the overclock. (Sorry Oliy) http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=55782&highlight=batterystatus
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Prerna:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
Works great. I just installed the non-lite version yesterday night and started tweaking it today. So far so good.

One thing I did notice is it locks up my US MDA w/2.24rom whenever I change the settings and save. But otherwise no other problem (well maybe the memory leak). I'm still fooling around with the settings.

So far I found that for my Wiza200 80mhz is too slow. 100mhz seems just fine, don't know about the current < 20% utilization though. 40mhz step seems to work fine. I'm testing with Agile and a 54kbps broadcast of a local radio station and it spends quite a bit of time underclocked at 120/140mhz. Agile alone and it'll happily run at 100mhz.

Great job Oliy. Can't wait for the next beta.

Almost forgot --- Thanks Oliy. I really appreciate what you have done and looking forward to more.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oliy:
Hi guys,

Thanks for your continued interest. I haven't been able to work on it for quite some time as you know, I'm snowed under at work but, as I've said before, I should have more time from September onwards so I'll try and make this a better program.

Oliy
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SeanFromSoCal:
Yesterday I was doing a combination of PocketSNES, Agile, IE, Media Player internet radio feed...and it was working great.

Now today I'm getting the stuck on 100% CPU utilization problem. I don't have Memmaid or any other program to see whether it was Omapscaler or Agile IM that caused it.

Anyone else having the same problem with the 100% with Agile?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smyrali:
Thanks for this great program Oliy.... I want to ask you if it is needed to have minimized the omapscaler so it can scales my S110's cpu? Or just press the X button every time i change settings? thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jess:
works no problems

according to post on another htc wizard forum, omapscaler works perfect on the newest official t-mobile rom. so I gave it a try and so far having great success! default clock set at 192, overclock set to 240, and underclock set to 150. this not only saves battery but also cpu life span.

Install omapclock.exe and omapscaler.exe to windows directory. test your max overclock first with omapclock! then go into omapscaler and set your speeds.

returns from standby and if you add a link to windows\startup for omapscaler it will start up from soft reset.

good luck!

Is this project dead now?

I am currently writing my own Overclocking application.

So far, I have completed:

A dll that impliments the overclock (manipulates the CPU registers, enumerates available clock settings etc) I *think* this will give better results (max speed) than OmapClock, and I think I have found a trick to put the CPU into low-power mode (1.1v instead of 1.5v) but need to test further, I am developing this as I find more out about the hardware.

This dll is the only place where hardware-specific code is written. The rest of the applications are platform neutral. So to support other CPU's XScales, SA1100 etc, you just write another Dll that works for that hardware and expose the same API.

The dll is delay loaded (not statically linked) so the dll to use can be selected at run-time.

A dll that runs a error-checked stability test/benchmark.

A C#.NET application to manage the overclock and settings. (WIP)

Also planning on making:

A today screen plugin. (This will also spawn a daemon thread to catch power on/power off/reset events, and possibly do CPU% based overclock/underclocks)

I started this as a personal project but have made some good progress, but I can see that OmapCPU scaler has made useful progress and got plenty of feedback.

Worth a collaroration or a code-merge?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oliy:
Hi,

I don't have a Wizard anymore so probably can't help much. It's great that you have managed to write your own dll because I'm sure that will greatly improve the performance of both the overclock and any software which uses it.

I have released the source code here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=288826

It's not very good and is in C#, as writing it in C was far beyond my current abilities. This makes it slow and memory hungry - so if it can be re-written in C to use your dll I think you will have a very useful program.

There are some semi-UML diagrams here which I developed following feedback from what people want:
