It's not new, it's been done for ages (Xscale processors were very good overclockers)

If you plan to have the same phone in 10 years time you may have to worry about overclocking. Otherwise don't bother about the shortened life... Besides we are not increasing the processor voltage, so the effect is not that big
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
I am sorry but I don't understand your point. If it's useless for you what do you really want ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ioandancus:
With #Steps = 2, I have good stability and I have observed an increase in battery life. My setings:

CPUmax = 768

#steps = 2

Load max = 30

Load min = 15

Jump max = 50

Jump min = 3

Interval = 2000

I am using Energy.RHODIUM.23129.Sense2.5.Cookie.GTX.Aug.7 ROM with 4.49.25.88 Radio.

Thanks again, iwfratz.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
That's interesting. How much of an increase do you see ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ioandancus:
Usually I am recharging my phone each morning when the battery is ~30-35%. Today I did not charge it in the morning because it was 56%. I have to see if this is constant and if my first impression is not related to a lower usage of my phone on one particular day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] anit77:
Is anyone having problems when the interval is 1000 or higher. It seems that whenever someone posts an interval of 100~200 they're having freezing issues. But many have said 0 is good with no stepping and we have a few with 1000+ with stepping of 1 or 2 that seem to be running smooth.

Could polling the processor 5 to 10 times a second be causing the freeze?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] buru898:
I never had SoD or freezing when I put the interval to 123 but I now have it at 989 and still no problems :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 5318008:
Had to downgrade from 1.5 to 1.41, getting random freezes like some others. Not sure if it's related but I've had a couple SoDs since going to 1.41 again, but hadn't had any the first time with 1.41 installed.

On 1.41 and 1.5 both, never used dynamic stepping. All polling and steps at 0. Originally ran 768 with OCT, as that was my stable MSM7K speed, but would still freeze ramdomly down at 710.

WM 6.5.x, Sense 2.5, S2U2, HTC unbranded stock ROM flashed to T-Mobile Rhodium. Used SK Tools for all uninstalls.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] anit77:
Well I just had my 1st B-SOD. I had called my voice mail and after the proximity sensor turned the screen off it became unresponsive. The call still stayed connected but I couldn't even hang up.

After soft reset all is good but I couldn't duplicate the SOD. All settings are the same as my previous post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] iwfratz:
uninstall errors

Hi,

some users reported errors while uninstalling OCT. Some news and how to remedy:

This is an issue of Windows Mobile and not a specific problem of OCT.

Google gives some hits if searching for swmgmtmetadatastore (this is the name of the Database/Table causing the problem). See this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445097 and read post #3 and #9.

For deleting the wrong db-entry you can use Memmaid (test-version), SK-Tools or the attached freeware db-view.

If you want to remove OCT files and registry settings must be deleted manually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Alcoholic:
Same here. Without dynamic clocking i lost 2% of battery life in 1 hour of moderate use, which is very acceptable.

Running at 710mhz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] doug3673:
But do you notice a BIG improvement in overall performance? When I have OC_run turned on with default settings, my phone feels slightly slower than if I hadn't overclocked. Is your phone faster at these settings? When you scroll your start menu icons does it scroll smoothly or is it choppy and slow?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] IMissPalmOS:
With the default settings I'd say that is normal behavior. You are experiencing "lag" as the CPU dynamically speeds up. I'm too lazy to type out the long explanation right now, but read up on dynamic clocking for more info.

Turn off all dynamic clocking (set everything except your MHz to zero) and your phone will then "feel" much, much faster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] systematicdecline:
1.5

Been using it all day, with Rodium Energy Rom 18th vs with Cookies windows 6.5.3.

Only thing i changed in the interface was the CPU to i think 721? and i have had only a positive change. Faster response, and able to use more than one program at a time. Maybe, just maybe, it did use up my battery faster... and if so, Is there a fix to this?

I did read that this program is Battery based? which im assuming runs off your battery. But im just assuming at this point.

Im a noob with a year plus experience in flashing roms, radios, and extra cabs. Starting with the FUZE. yuck LOL

Thank you so much for this application. This is what ive been waiting for since the fuze!! ur the man, and donation coming your way for such hard work.

Systematicdecline
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] buru898:
The default settings suck for me lol and yeah with default settings and my normal overclock of 768 it feels slower but messing with the settings a little got my phone perfect.

I do use dynamic clocking, but only one step ;p. Or is it 2? Not sure but probably just one lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mmalka:
I don't know what you mean by "this program is battery based". In general, overclocking demands more from the battery. However, if you are using dynamic OC, then when there is no need for more CPU, the phone is underclocked, what saves a little bit of battery.

However, as posted by another member a few days ago, the gains are not significant.

In a nutshell, it all depends on how you use your phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] smithisize:
Strange issue!

When using NetRipper's tool, I can stably (minus in-call SoD's which have yet to be resolved fully) OC to over 800 MHz.

In iwfratz's tool though, I'm only stable up to 768.

Any ideas why? Using defaults except for clockspeed.

Regards

Smith
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] buru898:
Programs that can cause freezes are programs that close "unused" processes.

Using this settings:

CPUmax = 768

Load min = 15

I have observed a huge increase of the battery life wen in standby: overnight (~9h) i did not lost any percent of the battery. :rolleyes:

Hey Guys - I am using currently OCT v1.5 but like reported by others before I have SODs when playing MP3s. Therefore I would like to test OCT v1.41 but I can't find it. Does anybody have a link or can upload it again, please?

Thanks a lot!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JRocca:
Heres the 1.4.1 cab. I'm using 1.5 now no problems that i know of with Mp3s.

What music app are u using?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] blaster88:
Thanks a lot for the cab!!

I am using Nitrogen...

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mrgodai:
this is my battery saving setting using 1.5, Tmobile TP2

CPUmax = 748.8

--------------------

#steps = 10 (this will bring your lowest clock speed to 68.1Mhz, you can try a different number)

--------------------

Load max = 100

Load min = 0

(this is to make sure it'll never step between each steps, which causes extra lag)

--------------------

Jump max = 80

Jump min = 4

--------------------

Interval = 1000

what this setting would do is when idle or doing very light tasks, it'll stay in 68Mhz, and if needed, it'll jump straight to 748Mhz with minimal delay.

if using WMP and playing MP3, it would stay in 68Mhz around 20-30% usage. I tried playing mp3s overnight, screen off, about 8 hours, it only used 3% battery! This is on a 6 month old original battery.

you might want to use a lower #steps setting to increase the lowest Mhz, since i do get some annoying lags when browsing for files in some apps, but i can live with it.

:rolleyes: If you look just a few pages back, you'll find a repost of every released version. Just hit the page-back button a couple times or use the search function and you should be able to find them.

MSM7K has to use third-party apps/scripts for throttling because it has SoD issues when sleeping at any speed other than 604MHz. It usually gets throttled based on registry settings for either backlight, display, or call state, as those are good indicators for when the phone is getting ready to sleep.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] msh441:
Got it (I think).

So without additional .cabs or scripts, Msm7k remains static at whatever frequency you set via its GUI screen and does not dynamiclly adjust the processors frequency.

I definately like the idea of underclocking while at idel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JRocca:
ive been using nitrogen and its ok, i was really liking it, but noticed problems before overclocking. havent tried after, now i us s2p and really like it, give that one a try and see if it crashes on u
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mmalka:
Nitrogen works fine without OC. Its biggest advantage is that it allows you to turn the screen off (all others I tested stop playing if you turn the screen off).

However, with OC, Nitrogen seems to cause the phone to freeze when you turn the screen off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] anit77:
Try this reg fix to keep music playing with screen off. Should force any program to work.(This will not fix any freezing caused by OCT)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] slochild:
Running OCT on USCC (CDMA), 6.5.5 [23563], Manila 2.5.2016, CHT 1.8.5

NetRipper only lets me get up to 710.4 - anything higher locks up instantly

OCT Settings:

CPU max = 748.8 (anything higher locks up instantly)

# steps = 14 (this allows CPU to get all the way down to 49.9Mhz)

Load max = 30

Load min = 15

Jump = 50

Jump min = 3

Interval = 1000

I was playing an MP3, started up Slacker Radio (I had it muted, but I bounced back and forth to verify both were still running), and received a call while messing around. No problems. I fired up SkyFire and then Opera 10. I bounced back and forth between the OCT GUI, ArkSwitch, Windows home, and CHT home. I ran the slider around. Went back into the OCT GUI and watched it calm back down. A couple times I got it to 748.8 - 100%, but most the time when it hit 748.8 it was at 30% or less. Even with both audio apps running it was dropping down to 49.9 quite often.

I turned the speakers up and it locked up. Go figure. So, I tried it with the same settings and just Slacker = frozen. Tried again with just the MP3 = no problem. Added browsing the net with Opera 10 = still no problem. Fired up youtube and the MP3 stopped playing when the video of choice started, finished video and went back to MP3, restarted and it played fine. Went to ArkSwitch and it froze again.

I'm setting it to 729.6Mhz and trying again. I'll let you know how it works out. (note: 14 steps at 729.6 lets it get down to 48.6Mhz)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mmalka:
Wow! It worked beautifully, and now I won't even need Nitrogen anymore, and the ROM I use already comes with TCPMP cooked in, which now will work with the screen off.

THANK YOU!

Ran all day @ 729.6, not one glitch! (oct 1.5).

I'm not an mp3 or music player...calls, text, email, couple websites.

10-15 calls, received, sent. 6-7 emails, 3-4 text threads, couple games of solitare. All settings in the oct tool set to zero, interval at 1000, not set to start at bootup (no shortcut in startup),

Rom: RRE23554

OS version: 5.2.23568 (23568.5.5.0)

Rom Date: 02/04/10

Radio: 4.49.25.94

Protocol: 61.44ftc.25.38U

NO MANILA (sense) installed, strickly the titanium interface.

Phone has 114 hours outgoing, 106 hours incoming.

Stays on 24/7, full charge at bedtime (10-11pm), has either 100% or 99% the next morning (6-6:30am), auto checks email every 30 minutes, weather every hour.

Hope it helps in the continuing development :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] IMissPalmOS:
If my understanding is correct, then you should set your interval to 0 as well.

With all the other settings at 0, checking the CPU load every second, or checking it at all, is useless.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Vitor_Boss:
Hi, congratulations from Brazil.

I tried run this on WinCE GPS, the clock is aways 528MHz and load is aways 0%, loading a PDF in editor CPU load jump to 100% but this app show 0%.

If click "Set" an error happens and program close.

If you support WinCE(ARM) devices, please add option to view window in landscape mode.

TCPMP has always played audio with the screen off. Open TCPMP and go to SETTINGS-HOT KEYS and pick a button on your device for the next to last setting. When u push that button TCPMP will go to standby and the audio will still play.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] SpinalRemains:
1.5 weeks now with OCT 1.5, and not a single SOD with any GUI setting 768 or <. I usually have my polling at 1000 or less. I have tried many different settings with mins and max settings and they all work fine, whether dynamic clocked or not. Playing MP3s has been fine with no SOD nor has phone calls or missed calls been an issue. I am on Sprint TP2 stock ROM with Cookie Tab. Going to be making my donation. Thax so much, Iwfratz!!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Dnajun_Tnuieh:
My conclusion.

CPU max: 729.6

interval: 1000

# steps: 3

load max: 100

load min: 0

jump max: 85

jump min: 8

Seems to work best for me without freezing while sleep with music, or max load.

My ROM: Energy 21914 Cookie Dinik (8/18/2010)

I think there should be customizable steps rather than preconfigured, as well as customizable load/jump per step.

Also I think while in sleep there should be option to turn off the switching between clock steps(as this seems to be the cause for freezing while in sleep).

Hopefully this post will be useful for someone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] robseargeant:
Like another person posted earlier. I was experiencing the freezes on 1.5, but previously had none on 1.4.1. Also like them now that I have reverted to 1.4.1 random freezes have followed.

Where exactly is every segment of this program for me to go in and purge so I can get a fresh 1.4.1?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] getemj:
I got a tilt 2 and I'm running sense 2.5 with manila (not sure which one) but its JosH koss's fast and stable rom. I tried using the default settings which enable the dynamic clocking but got SOD 3 times in a four hour period. So decided to put all the settings at zero and run it at around 691 or 672 and havent had an SOD in about a week !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kal87:
thanks, i'll give your settings a try
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] msh441:
OCT v1.5 is working great for me. I still get a SoD during the first 5 minutes after start up while everything loads up. Through trial and error, I've confirmed it's due to the audio manager rebuilding my music library during startup (close to 10 gigs of music). No SoDs after everythings up and running. I could pull the "AudioManager_Eng.lnk" out of startup file, but I hate to have to rebuild my library whenever I want to listen to music. I'd reather put up with a long boot when I switch batteries each morning, instead.

I really think this tool is ready for prime time with only a couple changes:

1.) Icons for "Run" "Stop" and "GUI"

2.) a button in the GUI to revert to "default settings"

3.) An option in teh GUI to save a series of settings as a "profile".

Otherwise I thinks it's a total hit.

I've been running:

CPU max: 710.4

# steps:6 (so 7 total)

load max:30

load min:15

Jump max:50

Jump min:30

polling interval: 500

The single biggest adjustment I've noticed (aside from processor speed) seems to be the polling interval. Cutting it in half, down to 500 seems to cut out a significant amout of (what little) lag I've experienced as the processor dynamicly adjusts the freq./speed. Also fewer steps seem to equal less lag, too. But I really like the idea of UNDERCLOCKING the processor with battery life in mind as much as I like overclocking when in use.

Anyone experience an increase in battery drain as the polling interval is reduced?

Mine seemed to go down a bit quicker than normal yesterday... but I did use the GPS for a significant period of time and browsed using Skyfire for about an hour and a half, so....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] evolupt:
How to save parameters ?

After a soft reset, I have to set manualy speed and step ...

Otherwise, great soft

EDIT : Solution : On the GUI: Make the changes, click on set, click on OC on/off to start, click on it again to stop, and once more to start it. It should then be ok.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 5318008:

For anyone that doesn't want to bother editing the icons into the registry, here's a nice GUI-based freeware app I found that does the work for you.

(And for anyone with music player problems, S2P is another program that seems to work well, and is great with S2U2.)

EDIT: reSTART can also assign icons, and it can rearrange your Start Menu too. I added the .CAB below. I should have also added that Icon Changer claims to be for 6.5 only.

Im still working on this, ive been contacting many people but obviously its not easy trying to find people who have experience overclocking a qualcomm processor for windows mobile.lol I just wanted to let you guys know that I AM still working for this project and as far as developments ive been looking into having someone go through the source code of the decompiled nueclock app for the touch pro to see if there is anything to be learned from that, sooo just hang tight and thanks for the support! Hopefully we can have this thing in full spin really soon!

And as for the thread being where it started... id say look again, with 5000+ views at this thread and 300 dollars pledged thus far...we are definitely making headway!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BASSMANBOB:
I have something to contribute as i believe it can be of help to the project but i am not knowledgeable in this sort of thing... sooo here it is

First I downloaded the open source/free program known as boomerang..

http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/

Then I downloaded the original nueclock cab for the TP and extracted the exe from the cab file and was able to decompile the code from said app....now this is the app we need to focus on decompiling and hopefully getting some knowledge from... http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueDynamicClock.aspx

I can only hope someone with the necessary skills to wade through this decompiled application can help us!

And BTW- we STILL need to contact no2chem!!! Did this person die or something? If we can get their original source then this project would move much faster...

Hi,

I'm working on overclocking too. At present I have a little tool (quick and dirty) to program the CPU-speed (theroretical over 1 Ghz), but encounter stability problems at low overclocking speeds. But I'm working on it.

Some important question to all offering a bounty:

What is the lowest overclocking speed you will accept: 530, 550, 600, 700 Mhz ??

What do you think the software should be (for others): open source, freeware, donation ware, payware?

:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Good questions...I was hoping for 800 but maybe I am being too optimistic.

As for the type of software...that is a tough one.....making it freeware kinda sucks for the people offering money I guess ...maybe a poll....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kenikh:
The challenge as I understand it: the way the multiplier works on this proc w/ WinMo, the overclock jump that is easily attainable on the TP2 is 768MHz, which is already available. Problem is, almost every phone that uses this setting freezes.

The above solution is apparently crude and doesn't do some of the fancier tricks from the OC toolbag, like finely adjusting voltage to accomodate, so the real top speed may be at or above 768MHz, but think that the realistic goal will likely end up being geting a configuration that won't hang at some speed below 768MHz. As a data point, I have been able to get over 600MHz using Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BASSMANBOB:
If the tool is versatile enough it should have two versions...free- where the highest overclock goes to say 600 or 650mhz, and the payware can go to 768mhz plus!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] empds:
So the bounty is 315$ so far and still we have to pay for a 768mhz plus...humm!
