Hey guys this is how overclocking is working on Blackstone, on ac or battery power. Stable at 672 MHz. and the phone is that much more snappier.:)

Install NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed V.2 App. in your Device.

Install oruam57s SetCpuSpeed v1.0d on SD card.

Take SD card out and soft reset the phone.

Open registry.

Go to HKLM\Software\Msm7kCpuSpeed.

Edit the values as below:

BootTime = 90000 (This is important. This value gives enough time for the

phone to fully boot up. The phone has to fully boot up

before the OC kicks in)

CheckTime = 20 (Stable at 20, otherwise yoyos between base and OCed

cpu speed)

Command = 0

PerfomanceLevel = 35 (This speed is stable for me without SOD)

ScreenOffPerfomanceLevel = 27

SettlingTime = 10

Close Registry editor, insert SD card in the phone and soft reset the phone.

Once the phone has fully boot up, give it a minute before opening NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed and you should see your OCed cpu speed.

If your OC cpu speed isnt stable then take your SD card out,soft reset the phone and registry edit PerfomanceLevel to a lower value.

To restore back to phone default speed:

Open File Explorer.

Go to Windows\Startup folder and delete SetCpuSpeed.

Soft reset the phone and phone default speed will be restored.

Before deleting SetCpuSpeed from Windows\Startup folder , save it in Documents folder so if you want to overclock again, copy and paste it from Documents folder to Windows\Startup folder.

SKTools Benchmark at 672 MHz:

Intiger = 416.5933 Moves/25 usec.(At stock speed Intiger = 332.6351)

Floating point = 9.56 MWIPS. (At stock speed Floating point = 7.47 MWIPS)

I haven't tested it but this should also work on SEX1 and Touch Diamond.

OVERCLOCK AT YOUR OWN RISK.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hatori:
After install by follow the instruction, my HD work perfectly. And I try to set speed up to 710 Mhz (Level 37) then it hang. So, the stable should be 672 Mhz on battery as above. THK

.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ippokratis:
sorry, but i haven't found the link to download SetCpuSpeed v1.0d on SD card? and this works with the original rom ?

by the way, nice work!!!!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] melvinvm:
Battery performance?

How is the battery performance compared to stock speed? I'm gonna try myself anyway but i dont have time now... Just curious :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
This is good Post but why you didnt provide a corect link for the apps you need SetCpuSpeed 1.0d cab : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7426966&postcount=1000

Where to install NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed in Storage Card or?

Also Hatori create a cab with the reg setting you need to do so if all is working corectly you can include them i mean to edit the post to be more simple and clear and easy to use :)

Thanks

I cannot understand what u mean by without having gps? so when we overclock we cant use the GPS of the phone or what?

My results are :

SKTools Benchmark at 672 MHz

Integer 420.1011

Floating point 9.633

Note when i do the Bench i forgot ON my WiFi but the result is still GOOD and i can see faster UI and everything.

Also my question is if i want to go back to default what i should do? step by step.

1st to take out the SD card and reset the phone, then edit the regs back to default and uninstall the Msm7CpuSpeed from the phone, then softreset and after the phone load inser in the SD card then uninstall the SetCpuSpeed 1.0d cab and again soft reset.. is that corect? and after a reset the phone will be back to default settings?!

Thanks in advance

I've been follow the original thread.

Qzytor found a solution for the "Blackstone" users, how to overclock our devices without SOD.

Thanx to him my Blackstone flys now :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
I've tried running it on my blackstone and it hangs on 672MHz, mine only runs stable at 652MHz (level 34)

I am running an NRGZ ROM though and not blackstonehenge...so that might make a difference.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ZaxXx:
Very awesome!!! My Blackstone now runs stable at 691,2 MHz (level 36) and it seems to have no (or minimal) affect to battery life! I can finally play Spyro using fpsece at 30fps and Abe's Exoddus at 45fps. Very nice :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ASK768:
if you were following the original thread, then you would have known that, originally, having the gps enabled was one way of preventing the device from locking up when overclocked.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Qzytor:
Previously (before Msm7CpuSpeed registry value edits) overclocking only worked if gps or wifi was on.

Yes Gps works while the phone is OCed.

For reverting back to phone default speed and where to install NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed, see post 1.:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
OCed my Blackstone only to 652MHz (only one that was stable for me =/

No benefit from the "OC" as far as I can see..

...although others might be more lucky
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
I was very lucky and easy Overclock my Blackstone with no Problem and the device is just fly but i notice the side effect of this Overclock the Battery DRAIN is alottttttt

Normaly with the ROM im using with one charge i have around 3-4 days Battery so i Overclocked today and when i do it i was on 47% of my battery and 5 hrs latter with litle usage i mean few phone calls etc i was on 10% of my battery very very fast

So i guess if you want to use the Overclock you need to recharge your device very often like everyday or every 12 hrs if you use it alot i prefer to have 3-4 days power and for this reason i just revert back to the default processor speed for now :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
You're right, worked for me as well but kinda batter drainer, have to recharge every day...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
I bought my Blackstone a month or so after it was released, so it may have a lower quality CPU or something..but I can't overclock much at all, so people with performance benefits - be happy!

...I am normally charging everyday anyway, so I don't really mind =]
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Dude i bought my HD exactly when was released and i wait few days like week the device to arrive in my Country so i think your problem is not becuase like you think your chip is "old" mine is older and i still can Overclock without problem
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ku9911:
anyone know who OCed can tell me how the HD performance playing in RMVB file?

before it, i can play but kinda laggy, if the OC work for better performance, shud really gona try it~:cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
When I was running Energy ROMs I couldn't overclock, I got some freezes or the device just restarted... and I think that's because Energy ROMs for Blackstone are kinda slow and resource demanding.

I'm now on blackSTONEhenge™ HyPer v2.5 (6.5.3.24623) and I have to say that this is the fastest Sense 2.5 ROM I've ever tried, overclocked it to 672 and works well but you have to wait for 1 minute after sense loads every time you restart or else it will freeze. If you are a heavy duty user and you say that you recharge your phone every day, I think the battery won't last 24 hours overclocked.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cymax:
Hey Guys, what about heat? Cuz if I put Android i can tell that the device is kinda overheated even when is in sleep mode. So is there noticeable temperature changes when we overclock our BS with this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
Yes it it but not as in Android when it almost melts.

You can see that it's heating up but not as if you can't use it...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ZaxXx:
Not for me, my blackstone is overclocked from 528 MHz to 691 MHz and it's as cold as at 528 MHz :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
I just flashed that ROM (which is pretty fast by itself actually) and tried to OC, but still hangs at 672. I've set my boot time to 90000ms, and my screen-off speed is at level 28. I'm going to try out other speeds and see if there is any luck there.

Do you have CHT installed? would that affect it?..somehow I doubt it, but just on the off chance...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jos001:
Hi Guys,

In my case it doesnt work at all. I have installed energy rom and i no way i get my blackstone working. It hangs after start-up, anyone a solution?

would be appreciated.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
No I don't have CHT installed, it slows down sense a lot so I don't really use it... I don't really know why do you want to bad to overclock, you know you're not turning your HD into a HD2... and the battery will drain 50-60% faster.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ZaxXx:
Not for me :) overclocked to 691 MHz and I currently have 68% of battery. Fully charged 10 hours ago, normal usage (few calls and sms, some chess playing, internet surfing and a bit of tweaking as I've made hard reset two days ago). I have no problem with battery AND the device is very fast almost like HD2 :)

By the way I use CHT and I don't find Sense to be slower than without it. Of course I have animations turned off as they are the main reason why it can seem to be slow.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
Try different OC settings - it may not work on your blackstone for 672MHz, but maybe for others. Also, multiple people have run into problems when OCing with Energy ROMs, so try flashing blackSTONEHENGE - that one seems to have the best results (from other people's reports)

Just want to know I can OC =D...also, battery drain is not an issue - plus, I want to see how 'fast' this blackstone can get before I ditch it for a Droid 2 =P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
I don't know if you played on a HD2 but this device is not even near HD2, it's not only the CPU, it's the GPU too that's slowing down this phone. The best way you can see that CHT is slowing down the Sense Home is by pressing Menu on Homescreen, if the menu appears almost instantly then it's ok, but I've tried several times and it kinda lagged. And putting more than three shortcuts on Homescreen even without CHT slows the device a bit, Sense 2.5 isn't really made for Blackstone GPU, you can see even the flip clock hasn't got the speed of other devices that come with Sense 2.5. Believe me, I have an eye for details... As for the battery, mine lasts in normal usage about 2, 2 and a half days which is decent, 4 days with 672 Mhz and I had to recharge it everyday...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Zailynne:
For me, it doesn't work on battery power... And my touchflo crashes when I overclock at any frequency... :S
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ippokratis:
finally work oced at 672, i havent see any big diference but it's cool

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miniterror:
lol this doesnt work on miniterror's ravage

i installed the cabs and soft reset so i could edit the reg

but when sense is loaded within a sec the phone freezes so i cant even change the regs:s

guess that will be another hard reset:p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zyotty:
i confirmed this working on x1.i tried it yesterday and it amazingly worked.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Qzytor:
Install the cabs and edit the regs BEFORE soft resetting the phone.

You dont have to hard reset the phone if you install SetCpuSpeed in SD Card. Just pull out SD Card and soft reset the phone then edit the reg. Insert SD Card and soft reset the phone again to OC.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] thanosc:
For the battery drain here is an idea:

To save power for the device and save power from cpu consumption I use nuecpl clockspeed (www.nuerom.com) and I set it to the lowest when backlight changes or when the screen is off.

You could use both tools the one to overclock it when awake and the other to underclock it when sleeping. That way the battery drain will be in balance. also to give you an example I use it (nuecpl) for months now and I'm very impressed and satisfied with the outcome, even at the slowest speed I can listen to mp3 or radio, never missed a call or anything. I use ver 1.0 cause the later ones didn't work on my device.

The trick is if this threads method will let nuecpl underclock or if they can work simultaneously.

If someone can try it out I would like to read the results...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zeka1974:
Hi,

Installed 2 days ago with Cloudy 2.3 and until now everything works perfectly!

I notice a little improvement in speed, Sense smoother...great job.

Running at 672Mhz.

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
Hello

Just installed Energy 13 August Standard Sense 23129 and overclocked it to 672 as in first page... and works fine till now but make sure that you leave it at least 1 minute after sense loads at startup. I don't know yet how long the battery will last after normal usage, I will tell you in the next days.

P.S. I really saw a bit of improvement combined with NeoS Driverpack... but if the battery will last under 24h, it's no good for me.

OC issues

Guys, i rally would like to know if someone had any hardware issues after OC. I mean isn't it a bit dangerous for the cpu and the device because it's summer and it is pretty hot in my country and I've noticed that when i'm using my phone outside and I'm watching a movie for instance the device tends to get pretty hot only with default stock values, no oc at all. So what I'm asking is wouldn't overheeating be a problem? Because I really want to oc my phone but honestly am scared not to brick it :S
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miniterror:
well this totally sucks

i did it that way and the phone boots but after a min the phone restarts

when i take out the sd card the phone is goign to hang when its started up:s

so it totaly sucks for my rom

astill thanks for this as it might be nice for some people
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jago2000:
I have my Blackstone at 710mhz (level 37), with ROM Laurentius. I can set 729 mhz (level 38) and it still works, but from time to time (after 2 hours) it hangs up.

I'm very glad; installed in sd card and with the instructions above (check time = 20, eyc). But I start it manually with a shortcut to de program; I desactivated the automatic activation after soft reset, with memmaid.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alexdiaz:
Now the news... I just got a SOD which I never had with an Energy ROM so I can only think it's the overclock's fault, and the battery drains about 30% faster.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbqfai:
thank you very much. let me try.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alixoft:
strange, my device does not automatically set the CPU speed on something else than 528. And hangs instantly if I try to use the slider in msm7cpuspeed.

Quite strange :(

Gonna try some settings and combinations untill it works :)

Thank you for the app!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hatori:
Did you try by following step by step. You no need to setting CPU speed at MSM program.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] markthomson1404:
Same thing happens to me tried on energy 13th and 18th roms even tried hard reset and starting with no other programs installed followed every step checked and rechecked not sure if i have missed something simple ?

Hope to get this working some how

Thanks Mark:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zagitta:
I followed these instructions from the original thread and they work perfectly however to all those who are having problem overclocking with the Energy roms, try the reference rom because doing so enabled me to go from a stable OC of level 33 to level 37 and over all this is how snappy the phone should be, even with WM6.5 :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] markthomson1404:
Wooo hooo

Snappier than a snappy turtle fitted with extra snap. My beloved blackstone Energy 22aug cookie ROM flies like the wind. Thanks to all on this thread .any help i can give anyone please feel free to ask

Take care and have fun

On my device with Energy.BLACKSTONE.23678.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Aug.25.7z, max safely oc reached is 633.6 no crash, no hang, nothing! So I can assume generally this frequency work with everything rom even with "Energy rom" that's unripe

I'm happy so! That's it
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] the_Enlightened:
Thanx to all of you... I can't wait to make my HD snappier... just need to study the recipe:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] the_Enlightened:
Fantastic!!!

I had almost given up on winmo, due to speed and responsiveness... I followed the recipe to the point and it works perfectly!!! The snappiness is unbelievable compared to what it used to... Now I'm gonna OC my Diamond as well! I got the latest (25th august 2010) of Energy Dinik...

Thanx a bunch for your great job!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dutch Sephiroth:
Thanks for the guide, it works great at 633 MHz for me. But i was wondering, can you underclock your Blackstone with this method as well? ScreenOffPerfomanceLevel is now set to 27, is it possible to set it lower? Like level 6, which should be around 115 MHz, or more if some applications require that.

I tried setting ScreenOffPerfomanceLevel to 6 with a registry editor but i don't see any difference. On the Msm7kCpuSpeed thread by Netripper he says he overclocks and underclocks with his program. However i can't move the slider at all, just bounces back to 633 Mhz again right away. Is this normal? And with the SetCpuSpeed v1.0d program i can't select lower than 528.

Any help would be much appreciated. Underclocking your device would improve battery life greatly.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ASK768:
something i noticed here: on some ROMs im able to go to level 37 (710 MHz), whereas on others, i can barely get to 633MHz without it freezing when OCing. the solution i have found is to put the device to sleep. making it go to sleep as soon as i see windows has booted (after the splash screen), i wait until the phone is done OCing (i check after 30 or so secs that touchflo is loading as sometimes it does not if i put it to sleep to quickly. in this case, pressing the home button seems to help). after waiting for a bit, i use msm7kcpuspeed to verify that the phone has Overclocked. the phone is then stable unless up to 710 mhz (the next level up makes the device crash after a few mins usage)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ucarcamagno:
i cannot install cab because my card name is not 'Storage Card'. any ideas to install cab in other way?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lukesan:
I had exactly the same thing as you had.

Now I run the 28th of aug NRG rom and it works.

I believe that the keyword is WAITING. (sorry for the caps)

So what did I do now. Install 2 cabs, which you can find in the NRG thread and follow that procedure in the same thread. Alter the settings in the registry.

Reboot and ... wait for a minute or 3.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blakcrp:
Installed and..

..working pretty good so far, I mean it is visibly more responsive and snappier.

while at it:

-no heat while in standby (as in "cold");

-no overheating while on Wi-Fi or GPS either - at least not more than usual, that is :D;

-no relevant battery drain - you can tell that it drains a bit faster while on heavier usage, but it's worth the trade-off, as it lasts trough the day.

It works 4 me!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] htctouchelfin:
Maximum speed 729 for few seconds, maximum speed and stable system (no crashes, no freez) 672.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] the_Enlightened:
G10

I got G10 now (8th sep) and oc'ing it helps, but nowhere close to as it did with Energy... This is not a benchmark-test, but a user-experience test = unprecise

They both run stable at 672MHz, but Energy was more stable.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] damac:
Anyone knows why CheckTime is 20 and not lower. Let me first state my assumptions:

CheckTime is how often the programme will read cpu clock.

If it finds during any of those checks that the speed is different, change it to the required one.

If this is true, then we should be aiming at setting the checktime to the lowest possible setting that *it* doesn't start consuming too much cpu time by itself, so that we don't have xx milliseconds when the clock was unchecked and running at default speed.

Having said all that, I tried on my touch HD running Energy 24xxx 8th sep gtx cookie rom the setting of Performance level 31 and check time 5 ms. It's not adversely consuming cpu and it's working perfectly fine and I think I see an increase in performance. Again, this is only subjective as haven't run any benchmarks.

Another question is, what's the granularity or accuracy of this clock (for checktime)? For example, on desktops I've used ttimers before (borland products on windows) and they're accurate down to 50 ms below which is anyone's guess :)

Comments?

hmh

wait,i OC my blackstone with set cpu speed on 652mhz but in NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed it shows 528mhz,sori for being a noob.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] LorD ClockaN:
It's best to OC it over Registry.. just change performance level...

Mine HD is at 691mhz 24/7 with Blackstonehenge 2.5 sense rom!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Jay-joe:
youtube runs smoooooooooooooooooothly on skyfire 1.5
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] damac:
I've managed to overclock my Blackstone to 691 MHz and it runs perfect without any freezes or restarts (tested running for 16 hours and continuing...) even when cpu loaded to 100% for extended periods.

I have Set 13th 23138 Energy GTX ROM. Only problem, if I overclock, sense keeps restarting itself. Has anybody else experienced this? Can anyone think of what would cause sense to restart itself or why overclocking would cause it to do so even though it still runs normally if not overclocked?

BTW, overclocked at 691, it flies :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Roadrunner100:
Yes I have experienced this, try this simple proceedure:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7966177&postcount=49
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] damac:
Thanks, perhaps i should've mentioned...

I don't overclock at startup. I'm using the setcpuspeed script, but moved the shortcut it places in startup to programs and overclock once i'm satisfied everything has finished loading. (I'm monitoring cpu usage and frequency using battclock). So, I overclock when cpu usage has dropped below 10%.

I've also tried overclocking with sense disabled and enabling it after successfully overclocking but same thing happens, sense goes into restart loop...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Roadrunner100:
I don't OC @ startup either, however this very simple procedure seems to have gotten rid of all the above mentioned issues you've discussed. Apart from this I usually let the beast rest (stay in sleep mode) a few moments after boot. The device runs now @ 672 (along with the ROM version I'm using 633 is really enough, performance wise), and hasn't been reset for over a week. My OC settings are as described in post # 1.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] damac:
I'm not sure I understand the procedure you're referring to. Is it simply putting device to sleep at windows boot so that sense gets time to start completely and then overclock? If that's the case, have already tried that.

Or are you saying that the device should be put to sleep when overclocking. In that case, I've tried that as well.

Recounting, I've tried overclocking after everything has started completely. Have also tried overclocking with sense disabled and enabling it after overclocking. In both cases, sense goes into restart loop.
