[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Paparasee:
So, I am a newbie ... a newbie willing to learn :) Up until now, I've been using the P1i and hacked it successfully. The windows OS however is a new ball game!

I had the Xperia in hand for a couple of days, had a feel of it and gave it back to a friend. I now intend to take it back and play with it!

I intend on getting my phone to a state as seen in the video/ pictures on:

Xperience v4.5 Landscape (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=485624&highlight=Touch+IT+4.5)

Touch-IT 7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503732)

XPERIA Gen II (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=497092)

Wanting to see my phone as mentioned above, I've been searching and reading the forums for some days now. Aside from getting more fascinated, I have not really managed to understand a whole lot and hence am looking forward to helpful folks out here to lead me initially through my first couple of experiments.

On that note, can some one first tell me what is Hard SPL and if I MUST necessarily do it before I start modifying my X1?

Hard-SPL for Xperia X1 - Released! (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431218)

I noticed this huge "THE XPERIA X1 LIBRARY" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=477801) and was wondering which of those I must use?

And finally, is there a starters/ toddlers/ newbies guide to work through to my first real mod? With so many materials out here, its really difficult to understand the real starting point!

Details of my device:

ROM Version: 1.02.931.3

Date : 08/29/08

Radio Version: 1.06.25.29

Soft Id: 1213.6450

Soft Version: R1AA017

Customization Id:1215-1832

Custom.. Version:R15Awhat

Custom.. Variant:Generic UK

Thanks in advance for any help :)

PS. If someone can point me to thread for where I could get a start, that would be great ... something like what is hard spl and what are the first steps I should go through!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] htainlin:
yeah, interesting... I have visited XDA-developers site many times since 2007. I have learned some of the stuffs reading through thousands of pages. But still learning... and GOOGLE....GOOGLE and GOOGLE.

I heard that somebody has made an ebook with all the stuffs you are asking and selling it for 99 Euro. Do you wanna buy?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BobAndrews:
Begin with the library!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] himuraken:
the video biovolt posted help me out plenty and should be the same for all newbies. you will only thank him for doin it in the 1st place.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] derliebewolf:
You definately need to HardSPL first before fashing a custom ROM...I recommend doing this because you are still using R1AA...

Anyway read the sticky Threads and you should find help!

The last thing: Nice to see you here, congrats to your first posting! :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] lilsadcrazyboy:
Yes I believe that you need to hard spl before a custom rom. But dont take my word for it, im still a newb
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Paparasee:
Thanks derliebewolf :) As a first step, I updated my rom from the SE update!

Now that, thats done, I' m first going to watch some videos ... videos of doing the HardSPL!

... and then hopefully, I'll be on my way!

... will lookout to helping hands if I falter!

Does this work??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] liav12:
how safe i to use that :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Awesome. Need to be careful though.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kostasalfa:
Anyone tested?? we may have something big here!!! (if its working..!!)

Max values..?? Performance improvements?? Some benchmarks?

Because after some research i did , i saw that our processor is capable even for speeds almost double its original value!! (some say 850 and report fast and stable!!)

Lets see!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] liav12:
What the hell?

800MHZ on the HD?

thats crazy!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] geistteufel:
Yeah it works

you need to install the cab and soft reset

after in All settings > System

a new icon appear : processor

set it there .

you can't overclock speed actually with this tool

but, you can slow down a lot the cpu to save a lot's of battery during idle process.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Does anyone know what these value are by default? We could actually make battery life worse if we set higher values for backlight off, etc than the factory settings...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Atze001:
It is not working. I try it again and again.

Set all values to 256.00 and it loose this settings after exit or if the device go to sleep.

Under "Current processor speed:" it shows 256.00 and if I go again to this setting it shows the "normal" 528mhz.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
Don't tell me the Touch HD actually doesn't manage it's CPU speed on its own!?!? Even my old Axim x51v did that!!! :eek:

I ' have try this :

After 5s 256mhz (this doesn't work I think, but not sure)

When backlight off : 82mhz

When suspend : 19mhz

So after all night of sleeping, my battery haven't lose any bare.

I will test it more, I think they greatly improve battery life.

so just keep testing.

I tested the tool from April 21th to April 25th. 5 days without recharge!

Otherwise i was charging my Blackstone every two days and i've running ICQ in backround around the clock. So i'm online once i turn on my telephone. It works perfect for me!

Setup:

hi, first of all, thank yu for sharing.

second: Ihave put the exe file on my HD and run it from my phone but it keeps saying:

"your phone is preventing installation, we can try to automatically fix this, but we need to restart your device. continue?"

and when I cic yes, it restarts and nothing happens. so I run the programm again, and get the same message.

anyone have any idea wha the problem might be?

thank you in advance

Installed v1.2 and changed profile to "Power saving", but the cpu clock is still at 528MHz?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] crajee:
For me resulted in more battery drain (version 1. BTW 1.2 doesn't work) :confused:

Click on "File" -> "Reset Active Profile". The value of "Active Profile" should change from "Default" to yours and you can see the de-/increasing CPU speed now. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bobya:
Can you tell us, where did you read about this overclocking to 850 MHz. I would like to learn more about it. Like others say, this program cannot overclock but only underclock.Please give us some links. Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jolas:
Version 1.2 results excessive battery drain to me too (8-12% per hour, in suspend mode).

Back to version 1...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
I found 1.2 kept re-focusing itself when I closed other things. I've uninstalled for now.

we need the O/C man :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TouchHD-za:
I have to say this is a really NICE app... had it on my phone now for a day with only like 40% drop in battery level.. usuallly it would have been dead by now :) thank u ..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] igorp:
Version 1.2 is pretty strange. Aftet

3 days of using, I did not

observe considersble change in

I downgrsded to version 1.0 and

saw reduction in battery drain about 10%

Tested all versions, using Duttys V3.3 latest rom.. only v 1.0 works fine!! And the program rocks. I see drastic changes in speed when setting current speed to low freq.. so the app works fine!! Cant wait to see after using it a few days how long the battery lasts.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rdgut:
Wow, my phone lasts about 6 days. You play too much with it? :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hoernest:
I have the same problem. Does this app only work on cooked ROM? I'm using the official ROM.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fantasies:
Nice, my HD is dead after ~12 hours give or take a couple of hours
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NikPraskaton:
whoa, bad! I have 1,5 day.. :D Gonna test this app further... I charged the device yesterday ~ 4PM... will see how long it will last.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] thanosc:
Do we have to put the loader link in startup to load it on boot or it is done by default?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] marshall2005:
Same problem here with official rom; I installed ver 1.1 and it's working...waiting few days to see if it has any effect :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bouvrie:
Very useful app. Trying 1.2 now ... Starting at 90% batt.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] leobox1:
so which VER should we use?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jouh:
Didn't see any difference with V1.2. Will give V1.0 a try over the weekend.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HD1:
I installed this app on sunday evening with a 90% charge and here it is friday and I still have 30% left . Using version 1.0 settings at 19.20 MHz with default speed at 528 MHz voltage auto . I was having to charge every 2 1/2 to 3 days now looks like once a week is possible . Great app. Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] raizaM:
v1.0 1.1 or 1.2?

Which one is the best for the Blackstone?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tboy2000:
WOW! WOW! WOW! Can you tell I am happy? What a fantastic app. This should be cooked into all roms.

I am using version 1.0 as I heard 1.2 was buggy. In 24 hours it has only used up 45% so as I am currently at 55% left. Now for me that is excellent as my battery used to last only 12 hours. At this rate it could last at least 2 days.

I am using Dutty's V3 XT rom. On 3 network. Checks emails every 2 hours. Light wifi useage. My app settings are:

Default: 528hhz

Idle: 245mhz

Backlight: 245mhz

Suspend: 245mhz

Will try to experiment with next charge with options set at 61.44mhz, log hours and report back.

So for all HD users, use version 1.0 - not 1.1 or 1.2.

Does anyone test above 528Mhz and is there any performance improvement? :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
The app WORK perfect for me!

I run it befor more than 3 day`s and what to say!

for 3 day`s using the phone.. make some calls, listen music and surf litle in the net i lose only around 10% from my battery SO this is just perfect i can`t believe this!

I ' have try this

Default :528mhz

After 5s 256mhz

When backlight off : 82mhz

When suspend : 19mhz

So i think this heppand with this settings because when the phone sleep he use really litle Mhz and this cause the battery!

I wonder when i will need to recharge my phone?!

I read that some of you tell that the app is bugy or not working or you get error etc!

Everything that i can say is that for me this APP work more than perfect and i really saw diference!

I can`t say with 100% sure do the phone is faster than befor but with sure the battery life is longer!

And i think that the speed is the same like befor or even faster!

If i can help you with this info im with Davideuck V5 room and the app work without a problem!

Im sure that this is not the optimal settings so if yu have any sugestions or advice im sure that we can improve the battery life even MORE and on the same time the proccesor speed to be faster!

I will wirte after how many day`s my battery will be totaly dry i just wonder and i really don`t know!

Cheers

P.S Im using nueDynamicClock v1.2 and WORK without a problem on my Blackstone, i don`t know why many peoples say that have bugs or even don`t work"?!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] leobox1:
which ver r u using?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hanserson1:
use 1.0. 1.2 was reported not to work correctly on the HD.:confused:

Cheers
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] N!ghty:
not crazy, intelligent... the processors are especially designed for frequencies that high, because when you clock them down then, they consume much less energy and dont get as hot (tdp is brought down). and of course, life time is much higher. that way they are perfect for mobile devices

btw: i use 1.0 on my blackstone, it seems to work.. other than 1.2.. didnt try 1.1

VER 1.3 is up on their website with these fixes...

"1.3 Display issue fixed, fixed slow clock change, stability fixes, ensure all threads running in Kernel mode, set profile on save, WM6.5 hi-res icon "

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DaBountyHunter:
Will v1.3 work on Touch Diamond 2 because v1.2 didn't?

EDIT: v1.3 CAB version seems to be working fine with my Touch Diamond 2 ... no crashes when switching between the tabs and installs to device unlike the .exe installer.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] N!ghty:
1.3 works fine on HD

just installed 1.3 few minutes ago and it seems to work very fine on my HD.

clock speed is shown correctly.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 7896zx:
what are the benifitis of changing your clockspeed?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HappyLlama:
Same here, version 1.3 seems to work OK on Dutty 3.3.

Curious as how it will be performing over a longer periode of time.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] N!ghty:
like i explained before... when the display is off u dont need the full speed of the processor, so you can underclock it so it uses less voltage => longer battery life.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] funk1980:
I don't want to be a 'mister-know-it-all', but for the record, the processor does not use less voltage when underclocked. It draws less current (voltage stays the same).

However, this little app lowers the voltage a small amount as well when at a lower clock speed. A little bonus :)

So:

Lower clock speed -> less current -> longer battery life

+

Lower voltage -> longer battery life

*edit* - Just downloaded 1.3 and will offourse report back with feedback.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
can somebody let us stock Touch HD owners know if 1.3 works properly...1.1 and 1.2 didn't and I'm still using 1.0 as suggested by the OP.

Any news?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chainfire:
In no2chem's own thread about this some user reported 1.3 works good for his HD.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
seems to be working fine but I'm not sure what these "loader" settings are
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] damac:
Installed and working brilliantly on HD. On Dutty's 3.3 ROM. When I tried v1.0, the application wasn't showing clock speeds when automatically underclocking on idle/backlightOff/suspend. It only showed when setting speed manually. This one shows clock speed perfectly. My HD has been running for about 12 hours and shows 89% battery. Few phone calls, checking 2 email accounts every half an hour. But no heavy usage.

I too don't know what loader settings are or what they are for...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] raizaM:
Will you explain it more? What is "current"?

How the combination of voltage level and clock speed should be?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tboy2000:
Am using 1.3 on HD and works fine. I can I suggest that everyone posts their settings and how long the battery lasts? With all the info we accumalate we can get optimal settings.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twisted-pixel:
I would have liked to have tried it....but after installation (and soft reset), I don't have any new icons...no error message on install...but nothing installed either!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nhudgell:
Twisted Pix - it's under system settings - as "processor".
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jouh:
Check Settings/System for a new icon called Processor.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tboy2000:
Soft reset and look under Settings for Processor icon.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Psygnosis84:
I tried 1.0 and it made battery life worse. Every 10 minutes it was loosing something like 5%.

Battery was also showing in 5% increments and not 1% increments.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nhudgell:
I've just downgraded from 1.2 to 1.0. Remember guys - the difference comes when you are NOT using it. i.e. backlight off or screen off. - as the processor then uses a lot less juice. Don't look at the battery drain when you are using it.

With 1.2 on new stock ROM

I can say that over the weekend, I used my phone a small amount after charging it over friday night - 6/7 short phone calls, a few texts, a bit of internetting - and by the time I was home on sunday evening, it was only down to about 40-50%.

- Also have S2U running.

Will update on 1.0 when I have some data.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] twisted-pixel:
interesting...it's not there in MS3 under settings - system, but it is there under windows settings - system.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Techvir:
I found v 1.0 and 1.3 working on HD

But 1.3 dosent seem to do the job

i had v 1.0 and overnight with wifi on , battery fell only 15% ( very very good )

Then i put on v 1.3 and overnight with everything the same battery fell 72% ( kind of same as without the program )

So going back to version 1.0
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] funk1980:
Sure. Current is the amount of energy drawn from (in this case) the battery. It is measured in Amperes (letter A). The capacity of a battery is determined by the amount of Amperes it can put out in 1 hour. The HD's battery has a capacity of 1350 mAh, which means you can draw 1350 mili-Amperes for 1 our straight. Then it's empty :)

So, if you use half (675 mili-Amperes), the battery will last for 2 hours. Use only 135 mili-Amperes, and it will go on for 10 hours and so on and so on...

The amount of current you use changes according to how you use your phone. WiFi uses a lot, listening to music no so much. That's why battery life varies.

The processor uses less current when it runs slower. This is a given fact. But even in idle, it runs at 528MHz, which offcourse is unnecassery, so 'underclocking' it further, decreases it's energy cosumption. This technique is used for quite some time in e.g. laptops. My MacBook Pro runs at 700Mhz when it is doing nothing and 2.4Ghz when working hard :D

The processor's voltage also determines the difference between a 0 and a 1. When underclocked, it has 'more time' the switch between these two values. You can get away a little less voltage. Because voltage and Amperes are linked to eachother, (amperes=voltage/resistance) the current goed down with it.

I don't know which voltage level goes best with what clockspeed, but I have the feeling the creator of neuDynamicClock has figured this out perfectly well. So default settings should be good.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nhudgell:
Ok so when I posted this - it was running 1.0 and battery was at 87%. Battery still at 87% having received a text, downloaded some emails and missed two calls.

Will keep updating as I get more data.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] purplekawasaki:
Using 'loader' settings

Hey all, having searched for an explanation and found none, I've spent an hour or two fiddling with the 'loader' settings in nueDynamicClock v1.3, on my Blackstone.

Loader simply loads a specific profile when a particular program is running, and returns you to your regularly scheduled profile when the program exits.

In my case, I normally wanted to run at 19.2MHz when suspended, but I found that when playing music I needed at least 81.92MHz to play music through my bluetooth headphones.

I created a new profile called 'musicPlaying' and set it up how I wanted- 528MHz normally, 81.92MHz when backlight off or suspended.

Once your desired profile is set up, its a bit tricky making the loader for it- here's how.

-File-Edit Loader (dont use 'create loader', it makes things trickier)

-Browse to and select the .lnk file you use to launch the program you want. In my case it was in Windows/Start Menu/PocketPlayer.lnk

-The path to the .lnk file you selected should already be in the 'shortcut' box. In the 'command line' box, type in the path to the .exe the shortcut referred to. Put the path in quotes. In my case it was "\program files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe"

-select 'use other icon' and type the same path into that box, only leave off the quotes. in my case it was \program files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe

-Select 'use the performance profile below..(etc)' and select your desired profile from the drop-down box.

-hit 'ok' to return to the main Processor page.

-hit 'save' and then 'File-exit' to save your settings and exit.

(If you dont use File-Exit some screens seem to hang around in front of your Today screen. Not sure why.)

A soft reset wouldnt hurt here, though it shouldn't be necessary. What nueDynamicClock has done is alter the .lnk so that it now points to nueDynamicClockLauncher.exe, which loads the correct profile, and then launches your program.

Hope this helps!
