[HTC Startrek] fire2050:
I Made this tut because I was thoroughly confused when I found omapclock and TornadoPowerControl. This guide is primarily directed towards HTC StrTrk and pretty much makes it so that you can delete the start menu shortcuts and not have to worry about your overclocking ever again. I take no credit for any of these useful tools and no responsibility if your dumb ass tries to over overclock your phone.

EDIT I found out a way to make TPC not show up in your task manager. If you DONT want this then you should skip step 8.

1) Download Tornadopowercontrol14.cab and tcmdphone.cab and load.zip to Windows directory.

2) Install all on your phone

3) Using Total Commander browse to install dir of tornado power control

4) Create a shortcut and place it in the startup directory in Windows

5) Using the Total Commander browse the the startup folder and EDIT the shortcut

6) The shortcut should look something like

60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe"​

7) There are several commands that you can tell the program to run on startup

'dim' starts in dim mode (display is dim)

'bright' starts in bright mode (normal operation)

'hide' hides the app at startup

'toggle' changes from previous mode ie if in bright mode before boot now in dim mode​

This is what mine looks like:

60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide​

8) If you DON'T want TPC to appear in the task manager then edit your startup shortcut and add italicized characters before your existing characters. Please note, this will render your start menu shortcuts inoperable and you wont be able to get to the TPC GUI. You can even delete the start menu shortcuts (I did).

41#"\Windows\load.exe" -hide "Program Files\Tornado PowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide
​

9) Now goto your install directory and youll see 3 shortcuts named

Power_On.lnk - controls what happens when your backlight is turned on

Power_BacklightOff.lnk - when backlight turns to dim

Power_UserIdle.lnk - when phone goes into idle (screen off)​

10) Those 3 files are EMPTY and TPC will not do anything with them if they remain the same.

11) omapclock.exe is included with TPC install and is in the same directory omapclock will respond to command line prompts just like TPC did earlier with Step 7.

12) Delete Power_On.ink. Create a shortcut to omapclock.exe and rename it to Power_On.ink. Edit the shortcut. add '-clock XXX' where XXX is desired speed (I have read other forums where people got stable results at 252 but I elected to stay with 240 for piece of mind)

Heres Mine:

30#"\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 240​

13) Reboot and run omapclock from startmenu to make sure that speed is 240, close phone and let screen turn off and repeat

14) Enjoy :)

Note 1- If you want TPC to lower the speed of the processor when the backlight dims then do the same method as step 12 except replace Power_BacklightOff.ink. I dont know why you would want to slow down the phone even further but I guess you could in theory edit Power_UserIdle.ink and underclock your phone to save battery life maybe.

Note 2- Im using this on erofich's WM6 on Cingular 3125 and tested/benchmarked differences using TCPMP with a Youtube video saved in .flv and noticed significant improvement.

load.exe - props to Slavic for creating
