At wich speed is your Wizard running (POLL)

Hi!
I was wondering on which speeds people have their Wizards running? I know there are a lot of people using OMAPclock so if you could enter your values into the poll it would be much appreciated. Also with this programm BAtti http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/ you can check the temperature of your battery! Wich temp. is acceptabel (is there any relation to the tmp of your processor?
My Wizard is running @ 264 Mhz and in rest, battery tmp. is 28.0c

195mhz

264 solid as a rock

technically....
the poll didn't let me pop my answer in (i run at 228 or 240, both of which are excluded).

i just overclocked to 240 using OMAPclock..
anyway to make sure it really is at 240 though? The system information app in WM5 still says it's 195.. although i think that's just a label.. not a actual clock measure..

You can use TCPMP with a given file to benchmark - just benchmark before and after overclocking

i like to run it on 240mhz but whats with the batt life?

I run at 228,
mine resets sometimes at 240

I got my MDA Vario just for a few weeks...it is a whole lot faster then my previous SonyEricsson P900, so for now I just run at at default speed

Before ROM update = 240mhz consistantly
After ROM update = standard 180mhz.

I run at 216, but it resets it's self at random times.

I've been running my Qtek 9100 at 204 MHz since Sunday with no ill effects. Battery life seems not to have been affected significantly. Still running the original ROM -- I might try an upgrade in a week or two after I've become more familiar with the unit.

264 24/7. no resets

overclocked to 240 with out rest or any problems

Because I use push-mail (so GPRS is on, all the time), and BT is also turned on 24/7, the battery drain is significant. I noticed a major increase in power consumption when I overclocked the CPU. Normally this CPU is smart enough to clock-down when not being used. When using the overclock program, this intelligence is switched off (or doesn't function anymore), resulting (in my specific situation), in a battery life of about 12 hours. When I run the CPU at default speed, it easily manages to live for 24-36 hours without craving for an outlet socket

264mhz on omap but it tells me 250mhz on tcpmpm.
(i'm posting this using my wizard, why is it putting two spaces?)

With the latest ROM I find the standard speed is adequately fast now, so I run mine at standard speed but increase to 240 when using skype to get rid of the choppy sound, reverting to standard when I close skype.
( I use a modified shortcut for Skype which automatically launches OmapClock and increases the speed when I start Skype and reverts to standard speed when I close skype).

How do did you create such a shortcut? I would like to overclock only when using TomTom.

I have got my Vario on 240 Mhz now. I have flashed it with the new Qtek rom (release 24 march 2006).
But even after installing memmaid, I can't keep it at 240 Mhz after waking up. It will be set back to 180 Mhz
I did make a new Event in Memmaid after waking up, but that doesn't work.
Or could it be because I did not register Memmaid yet?

1-2tje -
Extract the attached file to a new directory on your device called 'omap'.
In File explorer you should see the omapclock.lnk with a tomtom icon, and when you launch it it should start tomtom.
If not, then open the omapclock.lnk in 'Notes' and alter the location and/or name of the tomtom executeable.
To check the speeds, launch omapclock.exe before launching the shortcut and see what the speed is. Close omapclock.exe then launch the shortcut. While tomtom is running open omapclock.exe again and check the speed. Close tomtom and after 10 seconds check the speed again - it should be back to normal.

BatteryMeter or OMAPClock

Hi Guys,
Pretty impressed with this site, the dedication and commitment everyone here has.
Just thought to pick minds....
Which is better of the 2 clocking apps : OMAP (of which I could only find ver 0.2) or BatteryMeter , gives the best overall performance vis installation file size and continous use ?
Your thoughts please
AD10

I think they are the same thing, BatteryMeter provides the nice user friendlier interface that invoke OMAP (or you mean OmapClock?). For small size, OMAP is a command line simple tweak etc, but maybe difficult to set up, esp if you want it to be still around after suspending your phone. So, probably for start, try the Bmeter.

Don't you mean BatteryStatus instead of BatteryMeter?
Anyway, BatteryStatus, despite the name, has also overclocking features and has the advantage that the settings remains if you perform a reset. As far as I know, Omapclock does not.

Thanks guys,
Yes I meant BatteryStatus and OMAPClock.
I have tried both, and stuck to BatteryStatus - offers more information and seems to be constantly supported by Kai.

OmapClock and batteryStatus read different clocks
I used OMAPCLOCK to set the clock to 208 MHZ, however batterystaus, even not using its overclock function reads it as 221 MHZ instead.
Which one to trust???
Tks

I used OMAP for a while, but I was able to overclock max 246, now I use batterystatus and I OC to 286 without any problem. (Also BS has many more features over OMAP)

Athena CPU Speed

Hi everyone,
I was not able to adjust CPU speed in System menu, because the is no such. I installed BatteryStatus and it detected 312MHz. Is there any way to check/adjust system performance?

Ah yes, you may be right. I installed Pocket Hack Master 4.00 and I noticed when I unplugged the power, the CPU speed dropped down to CPU 100Mhz, Bus 104, Mem 52, LCD 52
and when I plugged in the power adaptor the speed became
CPU: 624Mhz, Bus 208Mhz, Mem 104Mhz, LCD 104Mhz
It seems that Athena has already Scaling feature bulit-in. Awesome! but with PHM you can go into advance and then tick checkbox: Disable Device Built-In Scaling. And You would be running Athena always at full speed non-stop!! woohoo!!

And watch the battery last 2 minutes Boohoo.
There was a reason it autoscales! But yes, it kinda sucks that they say its great because of this 620mghz cpu, then run it at 100mghz half the time.

This is very interesting information. I see the wait icon quite often and wondered if the device was running at full speed! I think I'll get PHM!

Assuming you're talking about PHM Registry Editor:
Which registry key is this?

Well, Thanks a lot. I installed it and apprently it helps. Cause I use Navi software and always connect the device to a charger - so there is no worry about standby time.
Again - Thanks!!!

It keeps locking up my machine when I load it.
Worked long enough to test one speed setting (the normal high one), then every time I start it up it locks up.
Glad it's a trial. Seems to lock up on the nag screen, so the developers will get an email saying "Um. This locks up when it nags me to buy it, so I won't".

You'll need to go into settings, then advanced and check off the box to disable built-in auto scaling. Two auto scalers working at the same time would definately give you grief.

Sorry, I really don't know, but it does allow you to change CPU speed on fly (after you've set your favorite speeds), which makes a pretty useful tray icon. Though I hate to waste screen real estate, too! If I find out a way, I'll post it here.

Ahhhh, very useful. Thanks.

What speed settings are you guys running your Athena using PHM?

great tool - how about overclocking? lol
i read of guys running the pxa270 @667mhz...

overclocked HTC P4350 to 240mhz but,,,,,

but still showing 201mhz as cpu speed under device setting menu/info. is the normal? is there a benchmarking software i can use?

yes:
SKtools - the best tweaking and .... Tool.
And the info only shows the general cpu speed - not the real.
ANd if you overclock with batterystatus - you see it in the todayplugin.
BTW - you can amke a benchmark with TCPMP (Mediaplayer) - but it is allways a little lower than the real speed.

I would suggest using batterstatus over sktools. Me and someone else had problems with that phone and the herald. Speaking for myself the problem occured after executing a cleanup through sktoolz.

Overclock at 800mhz!?!?

i guess some supposably this developer no2chem overclocked the touch pro processor to 768mhz..i mean to me thats some bull but the hell do i know..so if this guy really did that...welll shouldnt it be possible to do it on our magics since they have the same processors? thats saying if this guy really did that
heres the link to the story
http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/htc-touch-pro-running-at-800mhz

This thread could turn out to be really interesting...

Yeah do that and cry about the battery draining in 4 hrs with hero roms LOL

Why would you want to? Apart from "because you can"....

With the winter coming, this are great news.. ahahahah
I'll never be cold again here with an overheated overclocked magic.. I hope it won't melt!

"Inspired by GSLEON3 I have started to investigate overclocking options of the ARM11 (runs OS) and ARM9 (runs radio). I disovered a few things which may be of interest, but so far no spectacular results. There is more research needed and I hope people like anton tomov, cmonex, olipro and pof can help out.
Here is a summary of my findings for the ARM11:
- it normally runs on 384MHz which is equal to a masterclock of 768MHz divided by 2
- the ARM11 clockspeed is 768/N MHz where N is a frequency divider (N=1..16)
- i haven't found an option for clock stepping. (If anyone has a MSM7x00 datasheet please share it with me so this can be investigated)
- i found ARM11 clock control code both in oemsbl and spl. The latter is great as it allows to control clock from WM
- there are two commands in a mfg spl to set ARM11 clock speed and to test it: "freq n" (n=0..6) and "test"
- "freq 6" sets the fastest speed: 384MHz and testing with "test" results in 436ms on my kaiser (MSM7200). Would be nice if someone tests this on a MSM7201 based kaiser
- i reverse engineered the "freq" command and found a table at 0x8c00e230 with 5 entries for each speed setting. For "freq 6" the settings are:
Code:
384000 ; equal to clockspeed/1000
1 ; determines which master clock to use (value is either 0 or 1)
1 ; master clock divider-1 (increasing it leads to slower test speeds)
96000 ; some other clock derived from from master clock
3 ; divider-1 for deriving the 2nd clock
- i hot patched these values with the "mw" command (e.g. mw 8C00E2A8 1 6D600) but could not establish any better result with "test"
- setting the divider to 0 (actually means divide 768MHz by 1) caused the device to freeze
- i didn't do any benchmarking in WM
- i haven't investigated ARM9
Okay, enough for now. I hope this triggers more interest and research for this topic."
That was another topic, but i was searching and i think that we could modify the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpu_max_scaling_freq we could overclock easyly our devices...

well with tool like setcpu we could set lower speed when the phone is sleeping and the battery wont go down that bad ..hell if its possible im down to try it

no2chem (maker of nueROM) is a VERY well respected developer here on XDA who has done a ton of work on WM handsets. He's done quite a bit of low-level work on WM builds and created apps/drivers that even I (as an experienced Windows developer) can scarcely comprehend because it's low-level, hardware-related code. Months ago he did in fact develop a clock-speed app that does allow for over/under clocking of the TP (which I own and have tweaked with many of his apps).
I agree that 800MHz sounds a bit far-fetched, but so did overclocking my i7 920 from stock 2.66 to 4.00 on air, but it's done regularly (though not generally for long-term) on eVGA x58 motherboards (which I use). That said, I wouldn't dismiss the idea too quickly.
His blog and tools can be found here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/
Specific article is here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx
He's basically the Windows Mobile equivalent (if there is one) of Cyanogen.

interesting work.
i wonder if it will works on others phone. let me try it with my htc fuze. will post result later.

Maybe a solution for changing the cpu max_freq value it's inserting it to the source code when we compile a rom... I think that modding this file are the first step:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=ke...3;hb=ebea985a6ec461a59afb86f0068cc1d79d7c8bf1
227 CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MAX=384000
228 CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MIN=245760
I think that if we change the line 227 we can overclock, but the problem is that we have to make a rom for testing it.
It's only my opinion!

When i had my blackstone no2chem supposedly oc'd that to some stupid amount but the software he delvelops wouldnt do it. All it would do is the same as set cpu?

Yes, it seems to be the same CPU, if someone can ask no2chem...

hi,
no clue about nix platforms, but you should be able to access A11S_CSR_BASE, follow these steps:
A11S_CLK_CNTL (A11S_CSR_BASE+0x100)
[6:4] = 1 ;Global PLL
[3:0] = 0 ;Divider Ratio 1:1
A11S_CLK_SEL (A11S_CSR_BASE+0x104)
[2:1] = 3 ;Divide AHB Clock by 4
[0] = 1 ;Select Clock Source 1
oh,and A11S_CSR_BASE is at phys 0xC0100000.

oh i didnt know you were on xda lol so it is possible then on our magics??
by the way greatjob on finding this out

But i think that Android SO, doesn't allow accessing to this memory address, it should be out from the user ring... But if the memory address is stored always in the same address (in any platform) we should modify the android source code to allow accessing to this memory address. Otherwise, it seems to be dangerous, because you're writing directly in the CPU registers... a wrong value can fry our cpu...
Now we have a expert low level coder followin this topic... now.. we need a kernel expert for asking about how we can modify this memory adress.

anyone heard any update on this? seems like it just has died, no news from no2chem at all
