True but don't forget that the readme.txt says:

settings:
---------
settings will be saved on deactivating OC only after they successfully
assigned and activated for OC.

For The Chefs (HTC software users): I threw this in my cooked ROM instead of having another link in my startup folder. Works pretty well. Enjoy.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\OCT]
"Module"="\\Program Files\\OverClockTool\\OCT_Run.exe"
"Sleep"=dword:00000000
"Order"=dword:00000000

I have been using OCT 1.5 a few days. My thougts to new users:

-Dynamic OC produces lagging, so turn it off setting 0 as interval

-If something is working weird (I experienced unkillable process, bad redrawings) you need to set the cpu speed a bit slower. I think the maximum stable cpu is defined by your luck, but for me 650-670 works nice!

Anyways, and again, great app! makes my rhodium at least 30% more usable

changing intervall value without hardware keyboard???

hi

i tried your overclocktool on my topaz and it works really fine without any crashes by using frequency below 700 MHz. thx so far!!!

but the only thing that does not work is changing the intervall from 1000 to any other value with topaz, because the keyboard does not appear. copy & paste also does not work.

is there any other possibility to change this via another way (registry or similar)???

thx in advance!!!

EDIT: i found solution by changing via registry!!!

ever since I oc'd my device, my facebook app stopped refreshing. i have to log off and log back on for it to refresh.

is this an oc'ing issue or a facebook app issue? i am asking because it refreshed properly before. the only thing i installed was this app and oc'd it to 729.60.

i flashed the ROM again yesterday and it is still doing not refreshing. now I'm wondering if i messed up my processor.:confused:

i know i can always access via opera. just got used to the app, that's all.

any advise is appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lordsinasina:
this is completely software based and it even becomes disable when you soft reset your phone. after rom flashing the software don't exist to mess up.

so your problem has another reason for sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] aamadorj:
This "refreshing" issue with MS Facebook app is happening to many people and it's not related to overclocking. As far I know, there's no exact solution for it right now.

You can see more here and here.

PS: I haven't tried the solution to the "refresh issue" described at the second reference but I will soon. I'll report on the corresponding thread.

Wait,ima take a bullet and ask..

I want my Rhodium to boot overclocked,how can I do that,if its possible ?

is the app absolutely needed ?

And try to keep it "1337 noob" friendly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] minicoop7:
Thank you for your responses!:D:D

Got scared coz the fb issue started right after I oc'd. Saw the thread too, but no fix yet. Will have to access via Opera which is fine for now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Rickgig:
Logically your comment is spot on. But I too have the same facebook problem. I can't imagine what happened, the only software I put on was OCT. I had a problem with Opera 10.1 just crashing whenever it wanted to also... still have it but not as often. I would get the title bar to show up stating "Messages" as if I were in SMS mode and the footer would have "reply" and "menu" softkeys display for respoding to a SMS. The middle of the screen would be Opera which was active and ready for scrolling. Wierd.

Anyways, I remember something about the registry needing to be reorganized due to keys being out of sequence or something like that. There's a cab out there for that but I just did a backup and restore my registry using PHM RegEdit. Cleaned up some of my problems with Opera but not Facebook.

I agree, OCT shouldn't have an effect on anything but something happened and now I too have to access Facebook via Opera.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mmalka:
Once you set the OC parameters using OCT_GUI, click on OC on/off to turn it on, then off and then on again. It will "memorize" your settings and keep them after a reboot.

Also, make sure that your Windows\StartUp folder has a link to OCT_Run (I can't remember if the the installation of the tool put it there, or if I did it).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thx1200:
Did you Task 29 before reflashing your ROM? Task 29 is a way to completely erase your ROM from flash memory before flashing a new ROM. It is recommended to do before any flash by many, to reduce the chance of a bad ROM flash, where the system is unstable for otherwise unknown reasons. I've read others speculate that some blocks from previous ROM may not be written over by new ROM and may therefore leave old ROM files in new system. Odd. Maybe it's snake oil, but it's worth a try.

Obviously, back up, brick disclaimer, etc., that goes with any time you flash your ROM. :-)

Didn't have to reflash... unless I missed something. New phone, stock ROM had it less than 3 months.

Event-based clock rate adjustment

I would like to see the ability to adjust OCT based on SHNAPI events. Basically, I've noticed that when i'm in higher clock rates (high 600s, low 700s) i can sometimes get distortion before a call and sometimes no audio at all on a call. In addition, I think this could help SODs, just like with the other overclock tool.

Basically, it would work like this.

You would have the ability to monitor registry locations for state changes (Shell Notification API / SHNAPI) and when "in call" or "incoming call" or any of those happen go to TRUE, you could set it down to 612. When that goes to false, it goes back to 720 (or whatever you set it to). The same is true for sleep. Set up the OC app to request unattended mode. When the device's power state goes to unattended, clock down to 612. When the device's power state goes to "screen on" then go back to the top rate.

You could set it up where the user can enter arbitrary registry locations, so if you have any sort of weirdness occurring with certain phone states you can create a custom clock rate for each event.

SHANPI is implemented by callback, so there's no wasteful while-loop spinning like with the Mort scripts with the other OC tool.

I have a bunch of code you can yank. I wrote an app (service) that listens for state changes on counters, like email, text, reminders, etc., and chimes to remind the user that messages/reminders are awaiting their attention. The same basic code could be fitted for OCT to monitor for the above events.

The function you are looking for is RegistryNotifyCallback.

Enjoy some free delicious source code:

Updated to OCT_V-1.5s

i just edited the cab so ur phone will actually start up overclocked automatically...

Attached....:)

OCT_V-1.5s

Alittle advice before u install this version make sure OCT_V-1.5 works for u, because if it dont and ur phone stops workin cause of this app u wont beable to restart the phone and uninstall thiis app.

Just a warning!!!

Its been workin fine for me so far, but if it does mess up i have the option to flash a new rom, so it u "DO NOT" have SPL installed i wouldnt use this version of the app, because if anything goes wrong u will prolly not beable to fix it, but thats on u... im just given back to the scene. Keep up the good work everybody.. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] VDubGli:
That or just place oct_run in your /windows/startup folder
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] LiquidXed:
yeh.. like i said i just edited the cab to make it alittle eazier
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Doesn't that kind of contradict the advice of making sure it works properly first before having it start automatically? You might be causing some people a bigger headache than having to start it manually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Rickgig:
I loaded mine, before this CAB, to the SD card. Also, I don't have it automatically loading but placed a short cut on my programs tab for the GUI pgm and launch it from there when I start my phone.

I saw where someone suggested loading it on the SD card and pulling the card before you restart the device if you have trouble for those that have it automatically loading.

I've been running mine for several days now at 691.2 with the interval set to zero and haven't had any crashes. For me the interval setting was the answer for the BSOD.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Yeah, the SD card is a good idea, but like many things relating to these phones, there is always someone who doesn't take the time to do the research or even read the entire thread who will simply install it and then come in here looking for a solution when they find themselves in trouble. Just like the ones who think they should flash a new ROM a week after getting their phone. I'm no expert (despite being a WinMo user since 2003), but I know enough to read up on anything before I install it to my phone. Any OC app should be considered an advanced user item and treated as such with the potential to wreak havoc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] LiquidXed:
yeh didnt think of it, but those who dont want it to load up when windows start then dont use V-1.5s.. so far so good for me. it works flawless havent had any lockups or anything.. BTW i got it set as cpu 691.2 Mhz and # steps set to 0, and everything else the same asis... Just tryin to give back to the scene, and im gettin dog'd on lol. jk

ill edit my post so people know before they install it ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Not doggin' ya, dude. You do good things in here. I just know there's too many newbs who install first then come looking for us to fix their boo boos.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] LiquidXed:
lol. no dout its all good. ive chatted with ya b4 :)

This is an awsome app though. im runnin the stock rom, with it set to 691mhz, it runs like it should. nice and smooth.. not lookin for a power house of a phone but at the speed i got it set on, i can tell the difference. and i believe its a safe speed not to much, not to little, just right.. lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Rickgig:
READ THE THREAD... absolutely right!

I've been wanting to put the new AT&T ROM on with Sense but from what I've read I am holding off. I too have been on WM for a long time and have learned from my mistakes. Dang... I even backup the registry before I load a new piece software! Granted it is a PIA but all too often I have had to hard reset cause of some stupid piece of code that won't remove cleanly.

Makes me lust over the iPhone but then I slap myself and come back to reality.;)

If you want to pay him some bounty, he has a PayPal link on his download post. I already paid him my share of the bounty. I don't think anyone's coordinating it. Some people are paying him, some are paying NetRipper, and I think some people are fence-sitting until one app or the other is a final release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thx1200:
You are right. I'm a fence-sitter. I'm close to donating, but the SoDs and the *crackle crackle* when answering my phone are stopping me. I'm messing with different settings and trying some different things (as I'm sure most people are) to mitigate the issues, but until there's a workable solution for the common problems in either OCer, I'm a fence-sitter as I can't just "set it and forget it." :-)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 8SE8:
A few quick questions I was hoping someone can help me with! I'm running my TP2 at 710mhz. Seems to be ok without any issues. Now for the #steps, I want to ideally have this set at 0. Is there any advantage to setting this at 1 as opposed to 0? I'm very familiar with OCing computers and issues around heat generation etc, I don't usually keep cellphones for more than a year, so longevity isn't exactly a problem.

Also, I know I can get it loaded up by placing the file in the startup folder, however, can anyone tell me how to get it auto started with my own settings (i.e. 710mhz clock and #steps 0??

Thanks for all help :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sc00basteve:
Check out my post: post#696

I think HTCBootLauncher is way smoother than the Startup folder for some things like this.

That being said, I've gotten my ROMs to boot with my settings by exporting the Registry entry That Oct.dll uses from here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\OCT]

Here are what my values look like:

"interv"=dword:000007D0 ;2000=2sec
"cpuset"=dword:00002301 ;672Mhz & 1 Step(s)
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="OCT"
"IClass"="{A32942B7-920C-486b-B0E6-92A702A99B35}"
"Dll"="OCT.dll"
"loadset"=dword:5A033C1E ; load 3|30-60|90
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JBabey:
I have this in my registry for 672 clock @ 0 stages

cpuset 0x2300 (8960)

interv 0x7D0 (2000)

loadset 0x5A033C1E (1510161438)

Its easy enough to do, open the GUI, set the clock speed you want, set the stages to zero and apply. Then exit the GUI, and STOP the overclock with the shortcut. Then re-run it with the START shortcut in the same folder.

reboot the phone, if you go into the GUI it will have your settings

Hi, I have downloaded OCT1.5 but I have some question before to install:

2) I can forget after installation of any operation? The software will adjust itself automatically, incl. at the start of the device or when it will be in charge? I make be carefull to anything?

The phone is stable?

battery life, is very bad??

Thanks,

you can answer also in my email: mialexam@alice.it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JDog2pt0:
I can answer #1 for you, it is advised to install it on you SD card in case you choose a settings that causes you to be unable to successfully boot your phone. That way you can just pull the SD card out, and your phone will start working again. The chances of that happening are slim, unless you pick some outrageous setting, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XiliX:
I left the default settings.

A question: The phone in standard conditions has the processor that works always at 528MHz.

With OCT1.5 the frequency processor changes continuously

from 100Mhz---652Mhz to---100Mhz.

Are you sure that this constantly changes does not damage the processor?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JDog2pt0:
No, it has no effect on the processor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XiliX:
Each time that I need to swich-off/swich-on the device is necessary to "stop" the OCT app??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JDog2pt0:
Nope. The only time you would need to turn it off is if your having issues with calls (static/noise over the speaker) or getting SOD (standby of death). Standby of death (if you don't know) is when the device will not come out of standby and the only way to get it working again is with a soft-reset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XiliX:
but you keep OCT always active?

Any issues that you have encountered when using continuous
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JDog2pt0:
Little bit of lag every now and then. That's if you have it set to lower the processor speed though. If it's set to keep the processor at your OC all the time, then you should be fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] uncleswoop:
the only issue would be if you set it too high and it freezes or you set it too low. the dynamic settings might give you some issues so set them all to 0, even the load. batt will deff lose energy faster tho

OverClockTool

Hello iwfratz

I want to say I like the app very much. I use it for something around a week in "Automatic" mode (interval 1000 ms, 691,2 Mhz, steps 5, load 3|15-30|50%) and the only "issue" I faced up to now is that the playback in CorePlayer does not cause automatic clock increase and the videos are not fluent, but they cut. When I stop the OCT service the playback is flawless immediately.

It seems like the CPU load caused by CorePlayer is not big enough to raise the CPU clock. Can I adjust some settings to make it run? It's not a big problem because I can switch the OCT off before starting CorePlayer, but perhaps there is a solution?

Regards

Skrobel
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
If you haven't figured it out already, copy the file OCT_Run.exe into the directory Windows\Startup in order to have OCT started automatically every time you soft reset or power on the phone. Otherwise, you have to do it manually every time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Was running at 729 and experienced a major problem a couple times. After finishing a call the phone would remain dark and accept no input forcing me to do a manual reset. Also had a few calls with clicking noises. Dropped down to 710 a couple days ago and no problems so far. Still not seeing much in the way of a performance increase, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ng_gt:
Was running many setting for many days & finally found must cap at 710 as other than that may hang the device especially after few phone calls.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] LiquidXed:
Set the steps to 0. i think the step r just a battery saver when u set them high. but ive got mine set on 0 so i got 691,2 Mhz always, and the battery seems to be standin up fine..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Skrobel:
Thanks a lot. :) I know that setting the clock to constant higher value is a remedy for my problem (even with 528 MHz CorePlayer works winout any problems), but just for curiosity I want to know why it's doesn't increase the clock speed when Core is playing, if I can see that it needs a higher speed.

If there is a feature of automatic clock adjustment why shouldn't we use it ;) (perhaps this post will help the developer to fix the issue and make the feature more efficient).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] uncleswoop:
use the dynamic settings brotha. its hit and miss for some people i guess.

i just use constant all settings 0 at 729. works perfect 4 me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Well, I've been using OCT for over a week and I have to say I've not seen much in the way of performance improvement. My phone really isn't all that slow, probably because I'm using the stock ROM with TF3D and not the newer Sense ROM. I've also put in every tweak and cab I could find to improve performance already. Tonight I was going through things after doing a hard reset a couple days ago and I noticed that when OCed my movies run somewhat choppy in WMP. Turn off OCT and they look fine. I've been using the dynamic setting at 710 without issues, but I'm guessing that WMP doesn't like the clock changing during playback and that's what causes the stutter. Basically, I'm just not seeing enough to convince me to keep using it. Maybe I need to go higher to see any real benefit, but at 729 I was having clicking during phone calls and an occasional SOD when ending a call, so I'm hesitant to go any higher.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] brainrepairer:
I have done the above except "module" because OCT is on my storage card:

"Module"="\Storage Card\Program Files\OverClockTool\OCT_Run.exe"

I can't say I notice any difference from having this instead of in my startup folder when I restart my phone, but it would make sense to have it run earlier when restarting. No problems so far and it is running when I check the GUI. Currently running at 710.4 with everything else set to 0. This is the only way I have found to not have SOD.

I'm done with this. Tired of the SOD when finishing a call. Not every time, but enough to make it not worth the miniscule performance improvement. I ran benchmarks in SKTools and while there was some benefit, it wasn't enough and things like disk and SD card writes were actually worse. I tried lots of different settings, but one negative or another always seemed to crop up.:(

Zippy Issues

I have been running it for a lil over a week now and have only seen a massive increase in performance! I thank those who created/distributed this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Bully Dawg:
OCT v1.5 (finally) working great on my TP2

I've been running OCT v1.5 for about a month. I have noticed an increase in performance and battery life. However, I was getting a SOD every other day or so -- just enough to be a slight pain in the @$$.

I finally changed the number of steps from 2 to 1, as I determined that the 2-steps made my phone idle too low.

Now I've been SOD-free for 5 days since changing steps. I have also been able to increase my CPU max from 691.2 to 729.6.

As an added bonus, I'm getting great battery life! (Used phone all weekend on a single charge!)

Here are the settings I have finally settled on:

CPU max 729.6

interval 2000ms

steps 1

load max 30

load min 15

jump max 50

jump min 3

Phone "idles" at 364.8, just enough to save some battery.

Count me as a happy OC'er! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cbronson41:
So I had mine at 729.6 with 1 step and 1000ms &0ms interval at one point and though everything showed improvement I was getting SOD's from phone calls and from just waking the phone from sleep (without any other prgms running). So I took my settings down to:

CPU max 672.0

interval 0ms

steps 1

load max 30

load min 15

jump max 50

jump min 3

Running at all times with no SOD's to speak of for about a week and a half.

The biggest improvement I noticed with my settings at 729.6mhz is that Sense seems to 'flow' a lot smoother when moving from tab to tab and when at 672 its a little bumpy, especially when moving from home. I will try these settings and report back in a few days if any SOD's or other problems.
