I would suggest reading the entire thread, but I know there was a report of root on a US phone at the following.

Overclock question

Hello, maybe this is a stupid question: P but I wanted to ask, given that the Android project was able to overlock the terminal, how come there is no way to overclock with windows mobile?
There is - there's an app for it somewhere...

Qualcomm devices cannot be clocked well (or at all). There are some achieved results on Touch Pro: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx but it's not a good idea as the one of overclocking the Intel's XScale chips

HD2 already has an overclocker, why can't we?

So most of you know that the HD2 can already overclock their phones which isn't fair and, in my opinion, unnecessary, but guess the snapdragons are just easy to overclock...
So when do you think the TP2 might be able to get an overclocker or will it even much be able to be overclocked? I know no2chem was attempting to do it but then he stopped updating his website .
If I can overclock my phone to 800mghz I don't think I'll be switching this phone in anytime soon.

I agree, would be nice...
Support idea
Supported idea.
Supported...
Greaat plan...
Whatever happened to no2chem? I was really excited that he was going to come out with one since he came out with the Touch Pro's overclocker ...
So is there really no hope now? I would so have gone up on the overclocker if I knew anything about the subject lol.
I imagined it would have already came out for this phone but maybe everyone is wishfully expecting that someone (who may also be wishfully hoping) will do the job lol .
We should start a bounty just like the android forum has! Donations please!
I believe if there was a bounty we could start some development for this and hopefully have a working overclocking tool by the end of the summer! If one of the mods or senior members would like to step in and head this project I will do everything I can to back them up! anyone interested PM me! We need to get this going! This device is more than a year old!

Haha hell yeah! That would be awesome! I wish I had money to donate but if someone could also make it an auto over/under clocker then all the better! I do believe Android phones have that no? Didn't no2chem release his source files for what he was working on?
here's the overclocker from htc
Could this be the legit overclocker for our beloved TP2's!? Could it be...

Sadly...I think not, but somebody somebody test it out and prove me wrong!lol
Its not....a quick google search revealed that this cab was for the original Tilt aka kaiser I believe, which uses a completely different processor....sooo yeah...
Once again all my hopes seem to be lost
Has ANYONE ever overclocked the Qualcomm MSM7200A? The CPU may be locked... Although I recall someone saying it can be UNDERclocked.
EDIT: OK, I did some searches. It turns out that the MSM7200A has TWO CPUs, one at 528 (arm11) and one at 256 (arm9). I suspect that this would be difficult to overclock, since the secondary CPU would also have to be overclocked.
The chip has impressive built in capabilities, I had not realized that the graphics support and video was that good. Overall the CPU seems to be built for consistent activity, being sturdy rather than built for speed - other than the 528 Mhz...

This CPU has been effectively overclocked in Android, but to my knowledge not in WinMo so far. The second CPU is the graphics processor and the data processor for calls and stuff(think 3G)
I believe in android people have gotten it to 768Mhz which would be great for Windows Mobile!!

Well, maybe we should ask over in the Android forum - maybe someone who has overclocked there can tell us what he/she changed. People are offering a bounty to the person who can overclock it - so far only $30, but I bet more people would contribute.

The way the CPU is overclocked in Android is super easy compared to an overclock in Windows Mobile, as it only requires a couple lines of text to be changed.

Cpu speeds after root

Wanted to start a thread so we can start tracking successful overclocks and underclocks.
tried setcpu, gave it su permissions, but dont have a setcpu.txt file for applicable speeds. tried to put droid speeds on it, but it somereason refuses to set?

did you autodetect?
after autodetect it gives a max of 600mhz ...
isn't that stock?
Pull it from Wes's github. He has it up to 998 from the looks of it

I thought there was a big hullaballoo over the G1 and overclocking and it was discovered that unless there's a kernel-level modification, the overclock widget doesn't actually overclock beyond the max the kernel says it can go(like, it will SAY it's OC'd but will still be running at stock)? Maybe the same kind of hack can be used from the G1 since it's still an ARM11 processor? Sorry about my non-specific rambling, I only have a very rudimentary understanding of this >.>
Perhaps a couple threads on the matter will help. These are threads about the actual kernel modification/hack that allows the OC'ing on the G1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666850
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679033
FWIW, there's no OC'ing on the Legend yet, and it uses the same processor as our beloved MTS. I'd love to be able to get more out of this device though, hope we see it soon
EDIT: It's also worth mentioning that in the beginning of the G1's life when people were "overclocking" it to 528mhz, it wasn't actually overclocking. It was only that the processor was UNDERclocked by the stock software to 300-something mhz and we were overriding it back up to the intended max speed of the processor, 528mhz. Only recently have people truly started OC'ing it beyond that with these kernel hacks. On the MTS, I appears that it STARTS at 600mhz, which is already the max intended speed of the processor. So if we want more we'll need these kernel hacks. I'm hoping we'll be able to get at least 800mhz and still be stable <3
it took the g1 a good deal of time to have one too right?
If some good developers come soon it should be possible to overclock the kernal maybe try porting from the hero that has many overclocked kernals thanks to behnaam

Hope you dont mind Wes
This is what i was speaking of. It looks like he is already working on it. i'm not a dev but i can tell that this rom in the making is going to come with some yummies.
thanks for the heads up man, I'm no dev either but that sounds awesome. I'm hoping to overclock this bad boy and get him just flying (not that he isn't already). I was searching for the power profile already on the Slide to see if it's possible to just rewrite the current file, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm lookin for. Guess I'll just wait for a ROM update
The real trick will be to do what we did to the nexus . overclock undervolt

I am bored and I want to root my desire.... BUT?

Update: attempting root, flash etc... help a brother out, lol
I keep editing my last post for problems I am finding, thx
what i've seen so far are other way round, that is rooting could make you unable to get OTA updates..
you can find rooting guides and roms in development section

I noticed u are from SG.. have u got the DHD yet or still waiting like the rest of us?
To the TS, there's a good sticky in the DHD Android Dev section, the very first thread by Ivo.. u should read that.

I read somewhere that the OTA could possibly stop me from rooting my phone? Is there somewhere/something specific I should check before I make the attempt?
With the help of this forum, I did get into rooting my nexus one... and flashing often... but if someone could point me to a proper how to.... and a known solid rom/kernel....
I would appreciate it, thx in advance

Got the same setup on my DHD and it is quite responsive.
Although stock DHD is pretty much ok i.m.o.
On topic: read the dev forum, a lot of info is there already

this is quite OT, but I was wondering how come DHDs overclocked to 1.5Ghz can achieve 3k+ Quadrant scores but the G2 needs to be OCed to 1.8 or 1.9Ghz to achieve similar scores? The extra RAM of the DHD makes so much difference?
Well its a different processor, not just lower clocked.
I dont know the specs off the top of my head but i would guess it has smaller caches. That does make a difference. I doubt ram comes into it for most of the benchmarks.

thx for the input, I know reading is a good thing... problem is, there is 100 threads.... I just need to know where to start to achieve root, then a suggested person to follow.... one that addresses issues fast, has the latest greatest etc
I will start reading and flashing tonight! thx

thx for that, I had a brutal day at work... and then I had a very, very late "tour" at a correctional facility..... so i did not get to any of this. Hopefully tomorrow.... I absolutely love this phone and case..... my windows 7 phone came today... and wifi compared to wife.... the dhd destroys it.... not to mention... things look normal on the dhd... on the w7p, it looks like crap until you zoom in... I just wanted to try the phone for myself, lol
so for me, it all comes down to 2g vs 3g.... dhd is better has down, for many things and reasons..... but the 2g vs 3g is causing me turmoil... oh well, once I root and see the goodness... maybe it will be a much easier decision
brb almost done

Not going to lie, I had NO idea what I was doing... but I think I just stumbled through it all.....
are the kernels dangerous.... how can I test/check to see if it is worthwhile.... will they drain the battery even more so? thx
Depending what kernel and what clock speed you set, you should be able to underclock to around 700 +/- mhz and not have any noticeable slow downs.
Just make sure you set a lower speed when your screen is off and you battery will last upwards of 24 hours.
thx, I just that 1.51 one for now.... seems to be working well, I put a profile in for screen off.... dropping it to 256-756 or whatever it is! did some light benching, angry birds, no lag or issues so far.... woke up and the phone is still alive, lol
thx

Need for 2.2GHZ

As currently many of us want a custom kernel which is clocked at 2.2ghz. As we wanna see the true clocked sd660 will anyone make it? Request:crying:
