PocketHack Master V4 is now out with Tytn support. Be warned that at it's highest setting of 440mhz i had to HARD reset my device.... Must start at a lower speed next time and work my way up!
I'm still in the middle of restoring!!

have you found a need to overclock the device then...., might works fine for what I use it for
Thanks for pointing this out... I updated the FAQs on the wiki.
It automatically scales the processor voltage onSamsung S3C2440 processors
so does this clock it over 440mhz, because an extra 40mhz doesnt really sound worthy of paying for software, especially when the TyTN is pretty snappy?
So... do you need to stick it in a fridge or anything afterwards?
I think the main idea of using the program is to allow a "super battery saving" mode, by underclocking the device it will use less power....obviously impacting performance-wise but still!
The main reason I wanted PHM was to help render web pages faster. My tytn downloads quicker than the works PC on normal broadband but the pages take longer to 'finalize' the page (i.e.. you can scroll down a page and it's still inserting images). This is a CPU speed issue.
I have finally got to play with PHM and it still needs more work! Just doing a test at tytn's default 400Mhz crashes my phone, never mind higher! I never got much higher than 300Mhz, how strange!!
Hack Master V4 not ready for primetime!
As others have noted, don't waste your time on Hack Master v4. I played with it, only to find it causes crashes, no matter what you do. Also, I found that it caused an incomplete Hard Reset. So, I had to do the manual hard reset twice, to get TYTN working again correctly.
Also, the Wiki should be updated to show there are still problems for anyone wanting to OC the TYTN.
I stupidly tried PHM too, and have just suffered a partial hard reset. Here goes the long and frustrating reinstall...

aren't we allowed to take these people to court? False advertising and damaging my equipment? They must have had enough emails by now and yet the same program is still there advertising the same things, very poor...
We should probably change the title of this thread to say "OVERCLOCKING: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT..." :idea:

They can get away with it through the fact that they tell you to backup your device before you use the program. Coming from an XDAII where PHM worked perfectly though, I stupidly assumed that the quality of the product would be at least the same or even better after numerous updates.
I'm pretty much set up again now, but I'll certainly be looking at purchasing a backup solution before I put my trust in something like that again.
Don't think about it, even with a backup... While trying to overclock my TyTN smoothly, it's now on the way to service (no more booting at all...)

Oops ... you should have read this thread before even trying overcloking ...
sorry for ya mate !!!
I find my Jasjam (Hermes) runs very fast and I don't see the point in over clocking it when it runs fast enough normally.
Have XCPU Scaler, in autoscale mode working up to 500mhz, on a cingular 8525 (HERM100), no resets, no problem.
>Edit
Also scaled down to 200mhz on the low side for super battery saver.

you'll be needing one of those new spangly batteries with extra life to cope with a processor increase like that.
@?Glitch: Can you post some screenshots?
That's awesome .. Has anyone else tried this program out? How's it working for you?
I'm using the XCPUScalar with its CPU load based setting.
Normally I set the speed to only 200MHz while on heavy load it speed-up back to 400MHz and 500NHz on very high load.
On day-to-day use it looks like extending the battery life (working on lower clock rate) whiles much quicker route calculation when using the navigation program.
Currently I faced now problem.

Has anyone noticed any long term disadvantages to overclocking the Wizard? Does the battery life permanently decrease? What speeds are you running yours at, and how long have you been doing it? Have you noticed anything at all which indicates it's not good for the hardware?
Cheers
reply
i believe that it's safe to overclock the mda...just set it at an acceptable rate (264mhz for me) and make sure not to run the battery all the way down...if you overclock the settings too high the device will freeze and reset (this is a fail safe procedure it goes through), so there is no need to worry...also don't overclock the settings too low as the phone becomes disfunctional when too low (about less than 132mhz for me)...the screen flickers because it's not being refreshed quick enough (my guess)...hope this helps...
I would set it to 240. I have done before, i'm just wondering if it's a bad idea leaving it permanently set to that level?
Cheers
yea you should be fine at that speed, but if you want you can overclock it higher if it will let you...just make sure that the phone is stable when using it...like i said in my earlier post my device is oc at 264mhz
Cool, thanks for your replies. How long have you had yours overclocked for? Do you use Smartskey?
Cheers
My self i ownly use it when need the extra speed, only with some games and wmv video files. I think it definitely lowers battery life and i would have worries about overclocking all the time and the long term effect it has on the processor (not so important if you only keep your wizard for a year and then change with a new contract - what i do new device once a year!) I found good speed gains with the registry wizard - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
have not found overclocking produces that much extra speed.

Mine is also set at 264 24/7. Battery still lasts me all day. Been doing it since the oc program was found which I guess has been a couple of months.
Don't forget, you're wizard is only overclocked when it is active (i.e. not in standby mode). When your wizard goes into standby, it automatically goes back to the default 180mhz. Only when you bring it out of standby does it overclock again (assuming you're running it with smartskey with the option of overclocking on wakeup)
i'm using smartkey to constantly run at 264mhz...i have been doing this for a month now...like i said there is not really any problems with the batt unless you run it down totally...there was a post about this in the overclocking thread...the process is set low so that the phone will have a longer batt life...this was also stated in the overclocking thread...theoretically there is more wear if you overclock it since you are making the processor work harder, so use it at your own risk! if you want to be on the safe side then use smartkey and the overclocking prog in the same directory...then use total commander's note pad (while the ini file is highlighted) and change the value lower when you don't want it to constantly run at 264mhz or whatever speed you want to overclock or underclock at...just use it when needed, but i overclock mine constant 264mhz with great results combined with tweaks2k2, registry wizard, and of course the tmobile custom rom ...internet is a blast...just wish i could get it to run like the IE in a pc
anyways hope this helps out a bit further...
activesync
your activesync will hang allot if you overclock, I have noticed this.
DOnt know why.
For some reason i stumbled onto something, im sure its been mentioned b4 but when running Wisbar advance with a Windows vista skin done by xcillion, i am able to overclock my cingular 8125 to 288mhz at a stable rate with no problems at all, can run warcraft 2 full speed with over 50 units battling it out on screen, almost doubles browsing speed and i can run all the emulators including SNES at full speed with sound. when i dont have wisbar advance running i cant go past 240mhz clocking speed. I wonder has anyone else noticed this or gone higher than 288 without a freeze. Also, my battery life runs steady for a full day of browsing the internet talking on mobile messanger and listening to music at half volume for a full day.

hey sonic, where did you get your copy of warcraft 2 for windows mobile ?
I've never heard of warcraft for Windows mobile, how does it run on a 240 MHz overclock?
I got it from the Wargus engine. i can email you the files if need be, i dont want to jeprodize this sites reputation. The game last time i checked was free though...
Actually I'm not sure if it's the overclocking issue or not but ...
For couple of weeks now my Wizard's red led is on all the time, not like it is when your battery is very low but about half of this brightness. I'm not really worried about that, it doesn't change much but it may be connected with overclocking (it was 240 for about a month).
Another thing - once I had sth like 110% speed of every tone played, either a phone call or an incoming message.
It doesn't really matter to me since it's still working fine but it may mean that overclocking isn't that safe as we might think.
TroLoo
I've just begun overclocking my 8125. starting at 220 and i'll work my way up slowly to a maximum of 265 if possible.
I was wondering if anyone had any horror stories that would make me change my mind about overclocking. Like permanantly damaged devices. I've searched the forums and cant find a single one, which leads me to beleive that it truly is completly safe. But i thought i'd start this thread to make sure.
The worst that I've had happen to me (or heard of happening to someone else) with overdoing the overclock is the device showing the 'white screen of death' which just forces you to soft-reset your device. It's really not anything that bad ^_^

i've been overclocking at 242 or 260 for over 2 months now and I haven't had any problems. My sweet spot is 242, it runs GREAT on this speed and it is a tad more stable than 260.
It is possible to brick your device if you try a speed to fast. 240 is perfectly safe, anything above that can be unstable.
I know its possible to fry a chip through overclocking. I remember frying one of my amd k6-2 processers awhile backl. I just find it odd that even though its possible to fry your wizard. and so many people overclock, that i haven't heard one story about a wizard being broken this way.

Been running mine @ 240 for a while now and everything seems fine.
My phone is mainly on stand-by during the day, but when I do use it for extended periods (evenings and weekends) I use Wi-Fi a lot and read a lot of ebooks which can be quite power consuming - however, the overclocking seems to have no noticeable affect on the phone other than making it quicker...

overclocking after standy freezes for a while!
This query is not related to the thread, but forgive me as I didn't want to start a new one.
I've smarskey with the overclock feature enabled and omapclock.exe running nicely. It hasn't been giving me trouble at all. However, I've one problem..
After the phone goes in standby after a period of inactivity and when I hit the power button again to use the phone, I notice a freeeze in time display. It takes a while before time changes from say 11:30 to 3:30.
I know Smartskey 'wakes' up the overclocking process again and this maybe the reason why my phone somewhat freezes for a very brief period after I disturb the standby mode, but I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this, its kinda annoying.
Thanks
Does not sound that bad, I think your problem is that you can't just take your phone out to have a look at the time :wink: am I right?
Well perhaps that would really be kinda annoying.
But it also sounds like there is no real solution to this. Just try reinstalling the apps, certainly there is a software conflict (if this is not a normal effect).
Perhaps you can also use another possibility than smartskey. I think BatteryStatus and OMAPScaler also have options to overclock at wakeup.
thanks..

thanks for the advice, i'm thinking about using memaid.
Anyone tried this program? I am using OmapClockPlus now but I like the idea of using different speeds depending on the load to save battery. Especially the underclocking while idle.
Was thinking of trying Pocket Hack Master but it seemed to freeze up the wizard requiring a hard reset.
This program even lists the Wizard/K-Jam/Qtek 9100 in the list of devices it works with.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=7325
I have just tried this program and it works - good find. Cannot try autoscale because it is disabled in trial version. Someone needs to pay $15 and report back
cab attached
So does this automatically adjust the clock speed depending on the wizards state then? i.e does it slow the clock speed down when it goes idle then speed it up again on resuming?
Does not omapscaler do that already? [autoscale on load]

Hi faria - omapscaler does do this but at the moment is too unstable and buggy to use long term. Interesting to see if xcpuscalar is stable or not.

Have you purchased xcpuscalar 2007 then? shame if its is unstable.
mb5049 - yes this is what it does - cpu speed varies on load.
xcpuscalar has a max speed of 260mhz - which is a shame.
faria said:

True, but it only goes from Default to your own setting. The scaling works so you can have a lower clockspeed, as low as 100 MHz while idle, and only as high as it has to be with heavier load. This ought to save a lot of battery.
But if you want it to clock at eg. 240 MHz all the time and default while idle OmapClockPlus would be your choice. I'm really happy with the program but I'm not so happy with the battery usage and am trying to find a way to extend it.

In the forum at Immiersoft.com there are quite a few K-jam owners reporting unstability. The issue seems to have been brought to their attention so hopefully they will soon release a stable update.

It may not be the software but the processor that is causing the instability. It may not like its speed being varied so often. Omapscalar is unstable too - maybe this is why.

here is the story... someone sent me the retail zip, had an exe, a readme, an install, and a cab.. so i wasnt near my computer, downloaded to my phone, used the pokcet zip and installed the cab... nowhere did it say anything about registration... nor does it now...
I read on another forum that people who are experiencing lockups to try changing the power setting to "turbo" or "max performance."
It should stop the lockups, I suppose.
Reply back to see if that solves the issue. If it does, then I'm gonna try it out.
Sent my wizard into a endless reset loop. Brought me back to my Treo650 days. I'm going back to omap which has been working fine so far.

Glad to see it works for you - unfortunately I was unable to get it to be stable even at 234. It did seem to scale correctly when it was workign though. I hope the author can sort out the issues.

You are prob going to be slammed with 'use the search feature', but, I'm bored as hell at work, so I thought I'd help.
You will find many people use different speeds, and different programs. The two I've used are batterystatus and Omap. Personally, I like batterystatus, and I've safely clocked mine to 299mhz.
BatteryStatus? Isn't that way old?
I highly recommend HomeScreen Plus Plus (which is the new version of Battery Status) just google it and you'll find it and download the Advanced verson not the Basic one.
And I safely overclock it to 299 with no problems. I went to 312 once but every so often the phone would rest itself.
HS++ is also good cause it auto underclocks and auto overclocks your device so when your phone is sleeping it saves battery .

+1000000 this is awesome man! thanks
i want to thank everyone that had responded i did a little research and i was confused. ya see i am using batterystatus .04 and if i go above 260 my phone freezes and to be quite frank i had 2 wizards that i believe died from overclocking. they both one day randomly after a reset went to the bootloader screen and stayed. i had tried a hard reset and flashing the unit with no luck personally i dont have a clue what happened and with this one being my only source of 'net access i cannot mess it over once again thank everyone whom responded
-rastlin
Hmm wow I'm sorry for your Wizard but the Wings can go up to 299mhz without dying and the good thing about HS++ is that if you enable CPU Scaler and set the overclock to say... like 400 and your phone freezes, just plug in your charger and reset your phone. The CPU Scaler is disabled as long as you have a power cord plugged in your phone (your phone stays on it's native speed) so you can just go back into the CPU Scaler overclock settings and lower it and try again ^_^!!
So just use the CPU Scaler to find the highest overclock speed but never just set the overclock speed in the normal overclock menu. Use the CPU Scaler auto overclock option and you won't need to hard reset your phone.
thanks for the advice. so it is possible to kill a unit with overclocking i just wanted to be sure, cause when i asked in the wizard forms if i am not mistaken no one answered me. i had also asked hct via a number provided to me by tmobile and they said the stock "i dunno we will have to look at the unit and that will be $180" towhich i responded f**k!! that i can get a new unit for under 130 off of ebay then got a wing....

Couldn't really see any discussion on this yet, and personally it's in a location on the forum that I rarely visit but I've found an overclock tool that is slowly becoming very good indeed for our processors. Link to thread is here. I'm soo far up from 528Mhz to 748Mhz (been stable for the past 6 hours no problem). Just make sure to follow the thread (instructions are linked to ensure overclock remains applied through scripts and 3rd party apps). Should take no longer than 30mins for a well versed user to set up. Please don't try this if you haven't got a clue what you are doing as there is soo much scope for error and dead phones! You may also need to customise any scripts to your specific phone/software build. CDMA phones as usual are different from what I've heard. But anyway good luck, I'm gonna keep trying to push the Mhz up (aiming for 850Mhz ).
Not sure its a good idea to go past 700 mhz,our phones run hot as it is under capacity,as with gaming rigs heat is your Enemy,the cooler you keep it the faster.
It's actually remained pretty cool, and when it's in my pocket it's only running at stock clocks anyway. Only when I'm using it does it get to the full 748Mhz. Running wifi router and charger and temps are not noticeably hotter than usual...
um... ive been clocked up to 787 highly stable for the last like 2 weeks. No heat problems, no battery problems, just insane speed.
recommendations: Download v1, not v2. ESP if you dont know what you're doing. Then download the zip im attaching, there's 2 mortscripts in there and a registry addition, THESE MUST BE IN THE STORAGE CARD ROOT. use the regisitry addition FIRST (just associate w/e regedit software you use, then run the .reg file in total commander), then go back to total commander, edit the .mscr "Toggle_boost" and adjust the value boost = "x" to whatever value you want the phone to OC at, eg boost = 41 is 787mhz which is stable for me, test yours out.
THEN, open and install rhodiumkbdcontrol (attached), reboot, go to settings>system>keyboard config> add key
1st pick which key you want to be the OC boost swtich, I have it mapped to my PTT button. click the plus sign, drop down menu, run program, then highlight "run program" in the list then click "..." then type in
Program: \windows\mortscript.exe
Arguments: "\storage card\toggle_boost.mscr"
This time you wanna use the power key.
same general instructions except
Program: \windows\mortscript.exe
Arguments: "\storage card\boost_off.mscr"
then plus sign again, drop down menu, default key action, and click extended emulation. THEN hit update config. should work like a charm, also autoover clocks to 610, the boost button with send you up the w/e the boost = "x" is set to, and then back again, most find 710mhz to be the stable point, and feel free to ask questions
sorry, heres the zips
wouldnt overclocking also gives you a higher chance of frying your CPU chip? cuz ive seen it happened in PCs i just idk about PPCs
I agree that there are virtually no ill effects to this. When unlocked, I have my phone running at 787 mhz. While it is locked or sleeping it throttles down to 604 and eventually 528 mhz. I have noticed no extra heat nor extra drain on the battery. Just blazing fast speed! Sense 2.5 is virually not laggy at all! CHT 1.8.5 is so smooth and quick even with the aminations enabled!
If anyone is interested in the automated clocking process, I can help by giving my set-up that is working flawlessly on the ROM in my signature!

I have noticed no extra heat nor extra drain on the battery. Just blazing fast speed! Sense 2.5 is virually not laggy at all! CHT 1.8.5 is so smooth and quick even with the aminations enabled!
If anyone is interested in the automated clocking process, I can help by giving my set-up that is working flawlessly on the ROM in my signature!

Once again as stated earlier, 100% agreed.
Do I have to keep plugged in?

I thank you for this, but I'm not sure how to implement it. I have installed Mortscript, I've copied the code into a file I called overclock.mscr and modified the code reflect the reg values on my Tilt 2. and I've placed the script on the root on my SD card. I've installed MSM7kCpuSpeed on to my SD card. How do I make the script run automatically?
Thank you!
I take no responsibility for w/e happens to your phone with this advice.
Try putting a pointer in your start up to the over clocking script. Its highly unstable and could brick your phone or require a hard reset... thats why I do it with a toggle switch, i dont mind manually applying the OC with a hard key knowing its safe, esp because the situations where I actually NEED 787mhz are less common than needing to just wake the phone to answer a call or make a txt message.
I just want to say that I have been running android on my tilt 2 overclocked at around 750 for a few months now with various builds and i know a lot of other users who have as well with no problems, i am going to try this out, thats what i pay for insurance for hehe
..and after reading more i may have spoken too soon because i missed the posts where i saw that you can brick your phone with OC in WinMo easily enough if you are not careful, so tread with caution

Just a note, I'm not sure the insurance would cover burning a custom ROM into the phone, or overclocking the CPU. And if the chip is fried you can't burn the stock ROM back in. But then, they probably couldn't figure out it was updated without in stalling a new CPU. Umm, it would probably work.
Would a .cab for this ever be conceivable?
At this point, we have finally got a script that will work for most Rhodiums, Topaz (Diamond 2), and a few guys with other phones seem to be having good luck.
The device has to have Mortscript installed, and nettrip's MSM7 v2.
It is a single script solution that requires no pre checks in the registry, no key/button assignment, and you can change the speed settings from the script instead of the registry.
It throttles the OC up and down for calls, lock, and sleep, to avoid freezing on wake up and in a call. Some problems that still need to worked out by nettrip in the script. I don't envy him the work as the script(s) were bad enough. Four of us have hit that original script (by jpc) from about page 13.
You copy the script to the SD or the device root, create a shortcut to the file, copy the shortcut to Windows\Startup directory, reset/reboot the device and you are off.
You can use the MSM7 app to read the OC, but you should make sure to exit the app before sleep, lock, or power off, as it will error on reboot if left open.
To be honest, you never have to open the MSM7 app, as the script controls it in the background.
I believe the script is set for a low over clock. 691. My experience has been a 710 average, but a lot get a stable OC at 750+. I am running 748 and I think I will stop there. A 200MHz overclock will just have to do.The phone does not get hot, though with intense use, it does get warmer. Never warmer than when the battery is charging, tho.
I am running the nrg Sense Reference ROM, 23xxx based on Sense 2.5. I added the CHT 1.8x and the editor to save a few MHz, no biggy.
The overclock allows the Sense to work MUCH smoother, actually noticeable as even the weather animation is smooth.
And all the vid players seem to work better.
I have noticed NO extra battery drain than usual.
The script is only a stop gap measure until nettrip finishes his app, but it does work well with little effort. WAAAAY better now than even last week.
However, use the script at your own risk, as you can get too Medieval on the OC. Some guys are running 800+, more nerve than I have.
Anyway, if interested in the script or want to read some more about the app, you can start here

post #882 has the script.
Plenty of instructions on how to use (and make changes to the settings) in the last 30-40 pages.
Sorry if this is already explained, but can someone tell me in simple details how to keep my overclock at 729mhz even after screen lock or sleep mode? I've tried to follow previous posts but it keeps reverting back to 528mhz after locking and sleep.
Ok so this seems legitamite,everyones checking in with no problems.
other than the increased risk factor that always accompanys speed,
it seems our ppc's cpu was underclocked beforehand ?
i will try this and see if i get a gpu boost as well.
but ivr already experienced my phone overheating to the point
of shutting itself down,and the god-damned orange light is permenantly on...
