[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] msh441:
I'm trying out OCT v1.5 today and so far, I'm intigued by the results so far. On stock settings, my CDMA TP2 running Verizon's stock MR2 ROM (WM 6.5 + Sense 2.5) seems a bit snappier overall. I managed to extend out the last 40% of myt battery (where it was when I woke up the morning) out to about 2:00 PM with a respectible amount of use.

The only times I seem to consistantly experience the SoD is upon start up/reset. I have a handful of things in addition to the standard WinMo/Sense programs running on startup (MemMaid running a quick clean/applying tweaks, Lumos backlight manager, plus the biggie: the Audio Manager rebuilding my music library <read: LOTS of music>). Once Sense starts up, it's about a 2-4 minute window where if the screen is turned off, it's very slow to wake again if not a Sod. Nothing has changed with the use of OCT v1.5.

No issues (yet) with SoD after calls. No SoD during/after average use... really just isolated to the boot/startup cycle. I also notice that OCT v1.5 shows the processor is MAXED at 100% during the startup period. So IMO it's kind of a "what do you expect?" scenario: The processor is working overtime to get everything up and running. Once it's done booting/running everything it's very stable and SoD is a very, very rare thing.

***A question, though: With the "other" OC app... there's mention of throddling the frequency up and down when turning the screen on and off. If I understand correctly, a .cab, or series of script additions (setCPUSpeedv1.0, I think)throddle the mhz up and down when turning the screen off and on. After reading more than 100 pages on these two OC apps, I'm confused. Is there anyone out there that can explain to me why that method of adjustmentg is any better, or worse than the dynamic adjustments provided by OCT_v1.5? If I understand correctly, both applications are achieving dynamic OC adjustments... just through different methods, yes? I anticipate trying both (about a week, each) and seeing what works best. I'm just impressed by OCT_v1.5 after only one day and I'm looking for other opinions/experiences.***

Lastly, I've done up a couple quickie icons I'm using for OCT_Run, OCT_Stop and OCT_GUI (which on my device I've simply titled "Start", "Stop" and "Settings"). I just hate blank page icons, or low quality/rough icons of the the old days of Windows Mobile. Just doesn't seem right on a WVGA display IMO. Feel free to use them, if you like. I just wanted somthing more in my Over Clock Tool v1.5" folder which I've placed under the "System Tools" folder.

If you don't know how to change icons for program links, I'll try and give a breif synopsis here:

1) Right click and "save as" the .png image to wherever you like. Mine are in \Storage Card\PPC Backup\xxx.png. Images below are ready to use, 90x90 .png icons, so they should be ready to roll.

2.) Use a reg edit tool (I use Resco's Explorer/Reg. Editor) and goto: HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start. There you will find a list of links (xxx.lnk) and folders which are also reflected in your Windows Mobile Start Menu.

3.) Once you've located the links you want to associate an icon with (OCT_Run.lnk, OCT_Stop.lnk and OCT_GUI.lnk) click on one to open their registry folder and add a new "String Value".

4.) Name the new String Value "Icon" and input the path of the 90pixelx90pixel .png image you want to use into the "String" line (again, mine was \Storage Card\PPC Backup\OCT_xxx.png).

5.) Soft reset and if you've entered the path properly, the icons will display the new icons as directed.

Make you own... use mine here... whatever you like. Just trying to be helpful.
