somewhere in these many pages of forum was a post on how to form the shortcut to use the icon from an exe

I have seen this, but the problem is that the 'shortcut script' needed to start omapclock, set the speed and launch skype is

“\...\omapclock.exe” –clock 264 –launch “\...\Skype.exe” -restore

To use another icon for a programme is something like

"\windows\omapclock.exe?otherprogram.exe,-103"

where -103 is the location of the icon required.

The problem is that I have not yet found a way to combine both of the above (ie a link to launch 2 programs and use a different icon). If I put the part shown into the second example after the questionmark in the first example it does not work.

It's a real pain to find, I know - but somewhere in these many pages of forum was a post on how to form the shortcut to use the icon from an exe other than the target.

I haven't tried, but wouldn't it be...
"\...\omapclock.exe" –clock 264 –launch "\...\Skype.exe" -restore?otherprogram.exe,-103
...?

ZeeBox - you are a star.

I have tried everything but that, and your solution is perfectly right. I works.

Thanks again.

I would like to know if there is a way to get the skype icon to show up again. Would creating a new skype icon and then using the last method to point to it work?

pewe
3rd April 2006, 11:58 PM
Heres one solution.

- Create a new directory on the device called 'omap' (in the root level).
- Extract all the attached files to it.
- Use PHM Traylaunch (or whatever programme you use to create shortcuts) to create a shortcut on the desktop to the file Omapskype.lnk. (or alter the Skype shortcut in the Start Menu to point to this file).

Using this shortcut will launch Omapclock, change the speed to 240 and launch skype.
When you close Skype the speed will revert to whatever the default speed of the device is set at.

Use the omaptom.lnk for the shortcut to increase the clock speed and launch TomTom. You may need to alter the shortcut to point to your tomtom executeable if it is called something other than tomtom.exe.

The icons.dll included with the files is an icon library. In it are the icons shown in the image below (each has its own reference number to be used to display it - for example -1 is the new skype icon in red).

If you would like any other icons added to the library for use with other shortcuts, let me have them and I will add them. They should be .bmp files which will look good when reduced to 16x16.

Hope this works for you.

##4 Files###
- OmapClock.exe - the executeable file
- Omapskype.lnk - the shortcut with the necessary 'script' to alter clock speed to 240, launch Skype and revert the speed to normal when skype is closed. If your copy of skype.exe is not in \Program Files\Skype for pocket PC, then open OmapClock.lnk in the 'Notes' program and alter the link to point at your directory. If you want a different clock speed, alter the 240 to whatever.
- Omaptom.exe - the shortcut with the necessary 'script' to alter clock speed to 240, launch TomTom and revert the speed to normal when TomTom is closed. If your copy of tomtom.exe is not in \Program Files\Navigator and is not called tomtom.exe, then open Omaptom.lnk in the 'Notes' program and alter the link to point at your directory and/or file name. If you want a different clock speed, alter the 240 to whatever
- icons.dll - the dll file with the icon library - shown below with the reference number to call it in the shortcut.

to make omap overclocker start after wakeup:

1. use sktools, go to notify queue
2. Add new notification
3. Select Wakeup
4. Point to the omap shortcut - i have a shortcut in my startmenu that points to the app and set it to 240, so i use that .lnk here
5. ok
6. soft reset

Yes, alive. Some time ago (from 29.03 to 6.04) forum has been down temporarily due to technical reasons but now works again.

Take into account that this forum is for russian-speaking guys (and girls also ;) ), so if your russian is good enought you are welcome :)
Also if you ask there on english then usually somebody will answer to you.

I found out something interesting. Whenever I force my s200 into standby-mode by pressing the power-button and wake it up right after that, my clock goes back to 180. But when I force my s200 into standby, wait for 20 seconds and then turn it back on, it runs on my desired speed of 252. So you'll just have to wait for some 20 seconds or so before you wake up your phone again.

By the way, I use the memmaid trick.

I have sucessfully installed smartskey with omap and my MDA is constantly running at 264 (tcpmp 250). Love the speed. Only played with for full two days with my brand new MDA but you gys tell me if you think my battery is acting ok.

I have 15mb left in ROM and RAM plus have 2gb miniSD (200+mb left). I ran GSplayer, wififofum, skyforce, three videos or so, etc...my battery lasted for exactly about 3 hours continuous use. I drained it to main battery - 4%, then I put it on charge and left the screen on. Woke up after 7 hours it was on 82%??? Is that normal? Maybe it's the backlight...dang that's a long time to 82%, and by the what's the "backup battery" for? What's a normal recharge time? Overall though thanx for the program intruders, it's awsome...bolshoye spasibo mujik! :)

I have modified the files in my post of 3rd april containing the shortcuts to increase clock speed temporarily while running skype and tomtom.

It also now contains an icon library in .dll format with references to use them.

If you want any other icons added to the library please let me have them as bmp images which will still look good when resized to 16x16.

bolshoye spasibo mujik! :)всегда пожалуйста :D

Few words about slow charging on higher freq.: i don't know why, but yes - when cpu clock is higher, then recharging time is longer. On other hand mpx200 battery charged faster when cpu clock is lower.
So, i can suggest to you reset clock to default (or lower than default) and then plug in recharger.

Yes, you are correct. This time I just put the phone in standby, what sets the speed back to original, plus backlight was off so it charged within 2-3 hours from empty to 100%. And by the way, my WiFi seems to act chaotic, really that's the only thing that bothers me in the whole setup. And I noticed that I can connect better to WiFi when Wififofum is on...Can that be because of 264 overclock..anybody has the same issue? Thanx

Pewe, thanks for new post, works great. Much appreciated, but the picture with the icons with their corresponding number has now disappeared.

Maybe you could add a .txt file to your zip listing out the icons and their numbers. Or maybe just add the .jpg file to the zip. Whatever works.

Thanks again. :D

Hope this helps those having issues with all the pages of instructions here:

Instructions for overclocking Wizard (tested on QTEK 9100). Use at your own risk!

1. Download the following file and unzip. Save the OmapClock.exe to your \Windows folder on your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9181

2. Open File Explorer on your device and open Omapclock.exe. Find the maximum speed that your device will handle without locking up. On each test, test all applications you use. This is important because once you place this in your startup, it will load up automatically and could cause your device to stop responding! 252Mhz works for me. Suspending the device at this point will cause the speed to be reset back to default. Execute Windows\OmapClock.exe again if this happens and you want to continue testing.

3. Download and install Resco File Explorer 2005: http://resco.net

4. Open Resco Explorer and go to the \Windows folder. Locate the OmapClock.exe file and hold the stylus on this file until menu pops. Choose “Copy”.

5. Now browse to \Windows\Startup then hold stylus in an empty area and when menu pops, choose paste shortcut.

6. Hold the stylus on the newly created OmapClock shortcut and choose Properties then click the Shortcut tab.

7. Target should be: “\Windows\OmapClock.exe” –clock 252
Change the 252 to the clock speed you tested in step 2 above.

8. Soft reset and test. Suspending the device will reset the device back to the default speed. This is a secondary test to make sure the device does not lock up!

9. Download and install DinarSoft MemMaid: http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=AA7FB311DB6CF9D1EB99A57835D25E3A&platformId=2&N=96806%204294961878&productId=123995&R=123995

10. Open MemMaid and choose the Notification queue button/tab on the bottom (second from left) then click the ADD button.

11. For Program, click the browse button and browse to the shortcut you created in steps 5-7. The location of the shortcut is \Windows\Startup.

12. From the event dropdown choose “The device woke up”.

13. Click Add.

14. Soft reset and you are done. The Clock speed will remain at the specified speed you specified in step 7 even when the device comes out of suspend.

Please let me know if the instructions are not clear.

Very helpful-even i managed to do it-thankyou very much. I'm running at 216 and it seems much better than 180 :wink:

Hi,

For those having had the battery problem: this is NOT especially related to overclocking. I know 3 people who had that issue with totally normal devices. It seems to occur when the battery runs empty while on the phone, that is while current draw is significant. The low battery shutdown takes place too late, when the battery is too deeply discharged to let the phone boot again. The problem is that the device won't charge if it can't boot the software up to a certain point, so there's no other solution than charging the battery for some time with an external Li-ion charger outside of the phone for some time. A few minutes are enough, then the battery can be put in the phone again, it will now start normally and accept charge.

This seems to be a (pretty serious and painful) design flaw of the Wizard. Having Li-ion chargers it's not too much of a problem for me but it's really annoying. BTW, do NOT recharge the battery with anything else than a suitable Li-ion charger or laboratory power supply set for 4.2V and 1.2A current limit. Li-ion batteries are very dangerous if mishandled.

The best rule to follow simply is never to run your battery down to shutdown, recharge at maybe 10% battery, and turn your device off manually if you know you won't get to your charger in time.

Now it doesn't seem to happen if device turns off while being idle. Maybe the little difference in current draw due to overclocking might be sufficient to get that low battery shutdown in the wrong again.

Now to the topic - that program is awesome, it solves the last concern I had with the Wizard :D
I run at 252MHz, with auto-overclock on wakeup. Have needed a few tries in memmaid (set/delete notification) before it would eventually be considered.
Many thanks for this!

Has anyone done this for the O2 Mni S with the most updated software version?

I've been reading this site to find out more about tweaks and mods and stuff...and to be honest...I dont understand about 85% of the lingo as Im pretty computer retarded when it comes to the technical stuff...

anywyas...if you guys were to rate this on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most difficult...what would you rate this?

I'd like to attempt this on my O2 Mini S...but im afraid if i screw up i might be in trouble

Hi Guys, I 've tried these steps so many times, but the best I could get is the message saying
"the omapclock.exe required parameter.'-clock-' is missed.." Then, it automatically opens up omapclock.exe every times it wakes up :(

I guess what I am confused is these 2 steps below:

6. Hold the stylus on the newly created OmapClock shortcut and choose Properties then click the Shortcut tab.

7. Target should be: “\Windows\OmapClock.exe” –clock 252
Change the 252 to the clock speed you tested in step 2 above.

For #6 --> I did choose properties using my resco explorer, but I couldn't find the 'shortcut tab' all the options there are only

And, plz let me more about #7, I don't really have any idea what that means. a lil more detail step for number 6 and 7 will be much appreciated.

One more questions, I got all my startup programs with ending .lnk except my omapclock, I guess that's the problem too. How to convert the .exe to .lnk?

Thanks in advance for the help.

keitht or others,

Steps 1 to 8 are fine and my videos are now watchable at 252 mhz (they were quite poor at the default Wizard 180 mhz).
I have downloaded MemMaid (demo) but it doesn't run. As I have flashed to the I-mate ROM I don't think it is application locked. I am trying to run it from the SD card, is this ok or does it need to be in a specific location? Any ideas how to fix this?

No matter what I do I can't get the clock speed to stay after the device wakes up. I've tried using Memmaid and Smartskey. Both set the clock to the speed I want after a soft reset, but as soon as the device goes to sleep, the clock is returned to 180, no matter what I do.
Any ideas?

^^ no - thats normal, (well the same on mine!) - you check the clock speed using TCPMP (and probably many other apps!)






Looking for some help with changing the icon for shortcut versions of OMAP

IE

i have a shortcut "\omap.exe" -clock XXX -launch "\etc\tomtom.exe"
and the same for TCPMP etc, all the icons change to the OMAP icon so all the links look identical!

Is there a way of editing the icon for different shortcuts (like you can with desktop windows) or alternatively a way of calling (for example) tomtom as the first, and launch the clock change at the same time (and as the shortcut points to TT it will use the TT icon)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys. I don't want to sound totally retarded, but I'm having a few problems.
I realise how to hack the registry to hack the ssoftkeys so that OmapClock starts before launching a certain program, but I really want to do it for the programs folder and the start menu.

I already have TCPMP as a softkey, but since not all of my videos require overclocking, I want a secondary shortcut in the start menu for particular video files. Also, I want Worms to overclock before starting. I have no problem with the CPU re-clocking back to 195 after standby either.

Thing is, I don't know what program to use to change the lnk file! Can I do it via Activesync, or is there any free software available?

I have an SPV M600 (aka prophet). Thanks in advance guys, I'm in awe, you've all really helped make this the best phone ever already!

Hope this helps those having issues with all the pages of instructions here:

Instructions for overclocking Wizard (tested on QTEK 9100). Use at your own risk!

1. Download the following file and unzip. Save the OmapClock.exe to your \Windows folder on your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9181

2. Open File Explorer on your device and open Omapclock.exe. Find the maximum speed that your device will handle without locking up. On each test, test all applications you use. This is important because once you place this in your startup, it will load up automatically and could cause your device to stop responding! 252Mhz works for me. Suspending the device at this point will cause the speed to be reset back to default. Execute Windows\OmapClock.exe again if this happens and you want to continue testing.

3. Download and install Resco File Explorer 2005: http://resco.net

4. Open Resco Explorer and go to the \Windows folder. Locate the OmapClock.exe file and hold the stylus on this file until menu pops. Choose “Copy”.

5. Now browse to \Windows\Startup then hold stylus in an empty area and when menu pops, choose paste shortcut.

6. Hold the stylus on the newly created OmapClock shortcut and choose Properties then click the Shortcut tab.

7. Target should be: “\Windows\OmapClock.exe” –clock 252
Change the 252 to the clock speed you tested in step 2 above.

8. Soft reset and test. Suspending the device will reset the device back to the default speed. This is a secondary test to make sure the device does not lock up!

9. Download and install DinarSoft MemMaid: http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=AA7FB311DB6CF9D1EB99A57835D25E3A&platformId=2&N=96806%204294961878&productId=123995&R=123995

10. Open MemMaid and choose the Notification queue button/tab on the bottom (second from left) then click the ADD button.

11. For Program, click the browse button and browse to the shortcut you created in steps 5-7. The location of the shortcut is \Windows\Startup.

12. From the event dropdown choose “The device woke up”.

13. Click Add.

14. Soft reset and you are done. The Clock speed will remain at the specified speed you specified in step 7 even when the device comes out of suspend.

Yes TCPMP always shows a speed a bit slower than the 'actual' speed. The standard OMAP processor speed is 195 but TCPMP a;ways shows 180.

The shortcut you have is fine ASSUMING you have OmapClock.exe in the windows directory. Can you run OmapClock without a shortcut i.e. clcik the exe? Does it indicate 180 mhz?

19th May 2006, 12:41 AM
The device info will always show the 'rated' speed as opposed to the 'actual' speed.

When you run Omapclock it shows you the current speed as well as the option to change it.

Hi i am somewhat of a nob when it comes to this kind of stuff so please bear with me and any suggestions or advice would greatly be appreciated. Anyway i followed keitht's instruction perfectly i did every thing described in the little instruction manual and when i check omap it says that my ppc is running at 264 but there seems to be no real difference in performance. When i try to play my snes roms on morphgear it plays just like it wasnt overclocked. I even tried pocket gba and pocketsnes with the same result. I am at a wit's end. I honestly don't know if i did something wrong or if my phone is just screwed up. I have tried both the 2.17 rom by summiter with the omap settings, cf2 a2dp,themes and ringers and the new aku 2.2 rom by sumiter also. So i don't know if my device really overclocked and i'm just paranoid or did i do something wrong. Thanks Again

Wow!! :shock: I can push the Wizard (using Dopod 838) to 276 MHz without any glitch. The device shows instability on 288 MHz and crashed at 300 MHz. The device I use is a lending unit for "work" purpose, so I'm testing it like crazy because I have intention to buy a Dopod 838. I was going to wait for Hermes to come out... But with OmapClock... I'm a bit confused, should I wait or just buy the Wizard. But oh well, back to torture test.

At 276 MHz the battery drains like crazy when playing Enslave... I'm going to test with another graphic intensive application again later on the day.

Thank you so much to Instruder and XDA developer......with this application help everyone alot........i can run at 264 and 252...i can see the most stable for my device is 252. For everyone..remember dont install spb pocket plus...it will change your clock speed to normal due to pocket plus has safe mode (probably) or auto change to normal mode (probably). other application that can change your overclock speed to notmal is IP dashboard ( the one that can see you transfer rate speed). i recommended do not use them. i love both of them but unfortunately they r disabler my overclocking speed. i rather speed up my cpu than have application like spb pocket plus and IP dashboard ( what is the point if ur device slow and have those pretty application?, get my point right?
Once again thank u so much Instruder......for mother russie :)

Just one observation on my Wizard (iMATE K-JAM), if you put it in STANDBY and then bring it out of standby too quickly, it will not return to its overclocked state. The solution is simply to repeat, but wait a few seconds (about 5 I think) and then bring it out of STANDBY again. It will then be back to its overclocked mode :)

This thing is the best thing since sliced bread! :D

Um it suddenly occured to me that this is actualy a way of adjusting the clock speed, at least on the Wizard it should work. Take it quickly in and out of standby and you're on the original frquency, wait for a few seconds, and voila, you're back on overclocked. Nice huh? ;) (I must admit I felt a little clever there for a second)

As i knew that some applications or softwares can set omap overlock speed to normal after waking up. I had a same problem before when install some applications or softwares. Then after i unsintalled those applications and my omap work as my setting speed after waking up. Probably can someone help him? im not sure his problem as same as mine or not.

I too have found this. It doesn't set the clock speed back to 252 if you turn the device onto standby yourself. Is there any way around this?

tarponfly
3rd June 2006, 02:58 PM
Actually it will reset the clock back to the overclocked state after a forced suspend. The problem is that it takes a few seconds for the cues to go through ( I believe) ...For example, if I force suspend the device, then immediately wake it back up, my clock defaults back to the normal 200MHz, however if I force suspend the device and wait about 5 seconds, then wake it up, I get the overclocked state (240 MHz for me) I think that suspending and waking the device too fast doesn't give the unit ample time to complete the cues you put in via memmaid....

Pharmex, I'm using Smartskey v0.52 and there is still a problem with forced standbys. As previously mentioned here, if you immediately turn the device back on after a forced standby it will revert to the stock clock speed (180 in my case). But if you wait a specified period it will not reset. For my device the time is 20 sec., but someone else reported his was okay at 5 sec., so you should find your own sweet spot.

This is no problem for me, as I'll just have to adjust since I like to use forced standby before putting it in the case. I have trouble with buttons getting pushed during ingress and egress.

Has anyone used OmapClock to slow down their speed at night, when asleep to save battery? Has it actually made a visible difference?

I was considering setting a scheduled task to drop the CPU to super slow (60 Mhz) during the hours I normally sleep, and then setting another task to ramp it back up before I wake up.

thoughts?

That is indeed a great idea, IF it really does save some battery.
I have to do some tests the coming days if my battery drains a lot more when its only in stanby.

Why not just put your device to sleep when you go to sleep?


AFAIK, omapclock doesn't run when the device is asleep/suspended, so the clock speed would be normal.

[if it did run when alseep, there'd be no need to use MemMaid or Smartskey, etc., to add a notification to run omapclock on wakeup].

Zpyro
13th June 2006, 01:57 AM
So omapclock stops when the device is put to sleep?
Not when it is woken back up?

My thinking was that if you could force it to run in the background slower than the processor normally runs, it would help the battery life. I have yet to test or play with the idea... just thought Id throw it out there

It says way back at the start of the thread that the clock speed goes back to default after standby.


[Which explains why you have to run it again when you wake it up, or use something like MemMaid or smartskey to make a notification to run it on wakeup.]

I have not tried the mod in this thread but I do use the mod in the other thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53084&start=0
I upgraded to using OmapClock 0.2 and OmapScaler 0.110 but had crashing. So I switched back to the OmapClock 0.1 and OmapScaler 0.1 and all is well. I posted my settings that work in the thread. You can start with my settings listed and tweak from there. 8)

does this new version mean we can forget about modding the startup thing? or do we still have to?
cuz when i check the omap progam after sleep, it still says 240.
i didn't do any start mod.
thanks

HI, how are you able to check the cpu speed without using any scaler app?

Hi All,

I've been reading this thread and trying a lot of things, but I can't maintain my MDA to keep the overclock freq. of 228. This is the current situation:

1) After Soft-Reset / turn the unit OFF
CPU: remain overclocked @ 228 Mhz

2) After automatic standby
CPU: revert back to 180 Mhz

3) After forced standby (press the ON/OFF button):
CPU: revert back to 180Mhz

I have setup the Notification Queue using MemMaid (deviceWokeUp setting) and the shortcut at the \Windows\Startup.

I do run SpB PocketPlus, but I have uninstalled the "Safe Mode" feature. This is done through PocketPlus settings.

The only other system-tools type application I have installed is phoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net) and PHM TrayLaunch.

What else I need to do now?

Although it is at its early stage of development the application runs smoothly with most ppc/ppc phone.

You wont be needing MemMaid anymore.

Thanks for the info! It seems that the development of OmapScaler is still in its VERY early stage, as some people reported it soft reset the device.

I think OmapClock 0.2 is more stable, but it just that peoplehaving difficulty maintaining the overclocked speed.

ok the over clock isn't working, but it works in a way.

it works, when it auto sleeps and when i power it back on.
but if i force it to sleep, with the power button, and turn it back on, it goes back to 180.

is there a way to fix this?
i used to think it worked, but then after i tried this. it realized it wasn;t being over clocked all the time...

i think when the power button is pressed, we should make it run the shortcut too.

thanks

smartskey

I've been playing around with Omapclock and MemMaid before, so before I proceed, can you confirm if this is what I need to for overclocking with Smartskey:

1) Create a directory in Main Memory (i.e. Smartskey)
2) Put Smartskey.exe AND Omapclock.exe in the same directory
3) Edit Smartskey.ini to run Omapclock and 240
4) Soft reset
5) Done

Smartskey doesn't work either... I've edited the Smartskey.ini file and set Omapclock to 240, and yet after each device standby, the clock revert back to 180 Mhz. I don't think I can change the "on/off" button to autmatically run the Omapclock shortcut, since I don't see that option in the .ini file.

the method i use is;

1. make sure you dont put the device in standby and pull it out again
2. give a 5second gap before you pull device out of standby

putting it in standby and then out of standby too fast will cause your speed to set to default

I have put omapclock into a cab for easier installation. It will install the exe in \program files\omapclock and create links to the exe and one 240Mhz link and one 240Mhz link in the windows startup folder. All that needs to be done after intallation of the cab is to add to the notification queue if you want continuous overclocking. Use memaid or sktools or smartskey or see below.

Second version has no startup link for those who dont want overclocking from startup of device or continuous overclocking.

Copy cab to device - click on it through file explorer - it will install automatically

Hope this makes it a bit easier for some out there - all credit given to intruders of course!

EDIT 4/7/06 Cab updated - now no prompt for destination and exe placed in \program files\omapclock instead of windows

EDIT2 For those that don't want to or can't use the notification queue memaid method for continuous overclocking - there are 3 fix's

1. Using omapclockplus - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56057

2. Use batterystatus plugin - displays Mhz on today screen and has omap functions inc device wakeup overclocking see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=55782

3. Using Oily's omapscalerlite - download and install Overclock240.cab, soft reset and thats it - your device will be continually overclocked 240Mhz except in standby. This setup seems stable on my device, the only glitch on my device is that it occ disconnects from activesync.
download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53084&start=125
N.B. After coming out of standby omapscalerlite takes a few seconds to kick in before you see an increase in clock speed.

Oh, I mean adding the notification for the Smartskey. :D Basically, here's what I've tried so far:

1)OMAPCLOCK (no Smartskey)
- Created shortcut
- Added notification queue

2) SMARTSKEY
- Install the app
- Edit .ini file to overclock

In both case, the MDA is no longer overclock after waking up from the suspend mode. HOWEVER, it seems that with Smartskey I have better luck: sometimes it's still overclocked, sometimes it's not. There's no set pattern here: sometimes it's 10 seconds, sometimes 30 seconds, sometimes 5 seconds, etc.

My MDA is possessed...

Whatever the OMAPScaler show the CPU is at 80MHz or 252MHz, the TCPMP always show the CPU is at 170MHz. Is the OMAPScaler a cheat?

It gets work after installing the cab (OMAPclock + OMAPScaler). It seems the OMAPClock and OMAPScaler need to be installed in Windows fold. If max clock step is set too large, the equipment will easily be automatic rebooted.

I had no problems for the next few resets. then this morning i got the same error message again but this time it froze and then reset by itself and then i got the error again hit ok and it booted fine. i took it out of startup now. have no idea what went wrong though.

I did some benchmarks in tcpmp and it seems like my numbers were a little low for some reason. Running the stock 180mhz tcpmp was running around 108% and when i changed the clock to 260mhz it only went to around 164% average speed. It just seems like my numbers should be higher. Also, one of the main reasons i wanted this was to get tomtom to open faster and it doesnt seem to open more than a couple seconds earlier. it has always ran great while navigating the opening time is just slow. Ive read of people on here having great improvements in tomtom, does this include the open time for you guys? I timed mine at about 12 seconds to open, on my treo it was almost instant...

"? Fix for continuous overclocking 240Mhz"

No luck here. I have the same issue. It works perfectly, until I go to standby. Once I hit standby, it will reboot a short while afterwards.

If I keep it active, it handles 240 without any problems at all.

Hi All,
I'm new in the forum but have been reading for a while. A bit of background first, just coming off the back of having an SPVC500, which was OK, now the comany have gone and given me an MDA CompactII, real name a Charmer I think.

Now I must say I held out real hope on this one, it had the potential of fulfilling all the ares the SPV did not, and I was pleased to see it had the latest version of WM when it arrived. First impression was good, looks like HTC can roll a PDA and phone into one. After pushing it a little bit, and using it like a phone! I noticed it was a slow beast, worse than the old SPV and that was no rocketship. So after doing some googling came across this XDA forum and have read and experiemnted with OMAPCLOCK.

I have been running both versions, plain 240 and then scaler so I could play with frequencies. After reading some of the posts I believed this could be the cure to the lack of pace I had been encountering. Basic results were as follows:
1. Speed was good, menus appeared fast and phone features instant (what a fix I thought!)
2. Power off problems - damn thing would turn itself off all the time, I mean every 10 mins. Then needed to take the battery out to restart (when I smelled some burning from inside - not good I thought !)
3. Activesync - would connect for about 2mins, so sometimes would sync, mostly would not.
4. When I installed the OMAPCLOCK CAB file it never setup the startup link, I had to do it manually so I was never 100% certain if it was correct, but the annoying notification went away so assumed it was right. Stuck a -clock 240 on the end ?
5. Smell of burning and the other mentions above made me conclude this just doesn't really work for the Charmer so went about uninstalling - damn difficult, had to do everything manually and some were still being used etc. Now managed to get everyting I can see off but I still get the damn cannot execute link notification !

Oh yes for 2 & 3 I did try all frequencies, right back to the default 180Hz and the issues were still present.

So therefore I suppose my cry for help is thus

- Has anyone else got OMAPCLOCK running reliably on a charmer, and if so can you share your setup

- And until I get a more reliable setup can somebody please tell me how I remove all the install off the system, primarily so I don't get the bloody execute link error notification after every soft reset.

Thanks in advance for listening to my drivel, and appreciate any help :oops: [/i]

Firstly it looks like you installed the omapclock cab without the startup link and thats why you had to do it manually, secondly it sounds like you still have a lnk in your windows\startup folder thats why the 'cannot start exe' error keeps coming up - so you need to delete the lnk responsible. As the charmer has the same processor and same basic hardware as the wizard and prophet - i can see no reason why not, when set up correctly it should'nt work well.

Tried a reinstall of Omap240 and the same result as before. The Charmer does not like running overclocked. Drops Activesync all the time and powers off after a coulple on mins on battery.

this cab contains the link - just copy to device and click on the cab through file explorer and it will install.

It does work - double checked it on my device.

Try running your device at 240 using the attached cab, then if all is well add notification via memaid again. Or if your device is not stable at 240 mhz try at 228 Mhz - but you will have to edit the lnk in the startup folder to -clock 228.

I've been using OmapClock for my Wizard. It works fine and its really great program.
I've not read all this thread yet but I would like to introduce a tiny helper application (OmapClockPlus) for OmapClock.

It keeps overclock speed when resume or soft-reset. (in case of Wizard)

Thank you, Tom!

Tried it by making the o/c link (except I couldn't make it work with 30# before link, but it works fine without it. I made the link with totalcommander) in windows/start menu/programs, registered OmapClockPlus and that was it.

I tested it by setting the clock to normal speed -> suspended it for 15sec -> back on -> TCPMP showed the O/C successfull. If the phone is suspended and immediately switched on it wont O/C(about 10 .. 15s in suspended state was enough).

So this works atleast with my wizard

I just downloaded that BatteryStatus plug-in. Works great. I wish more utilities were that well-made, where you just install, configure, then don't worry about until you need to reinstall due to a hard reset, or a reflash.

Looks like your eyes are not bleeding enough lol!

Smartskey should be installed on main memory not storage card then it will work correctly.

What apps, cabs did you install to get your device overclocked?

Yup, I agree. I tried OCing with smartskey, but the speed wasn't sticking after waking up. I'd put battery status on to monitor the speed, so I switched to using BS for the OCing, and it's working fine, definately snappy now. I've lost track of the number of battery meters on my phone though, sigh.

Only complain i have is that the battery status program thinks my device is running at 195mhz (i imagine it gets the speed from the specs) when really its running at 180mhz. So i when the battery status shows me my device is overclocked at 260mhz, omapclock is telling its actually 240mhz. is there any way to fix this? i used the cpu speed in omap to 264 (theres no 260) and now the battery status program says 286mhz. please help.

:wink: - 195Mhz is the true default speed not 180Mhz and when it shows 260Mhz that is correct - omapclock consule is the one in error. They use different multiply no's but batterystatus is correct. If you dont believe that use sktools and under device info it will give you the true clock speed.

Hi to all the hard workers who have helped and followed this thread since the start.

I have a request…

Would someone find it in their hearts to write a simple step by step and watch out for an pitfall that this discussion has covered?

I just don’t have time to read every post in the 17 pages to double check everything.
Wish I did.

Would it be possible to make a sticky for this that could be updated when new things come to light?

Would really like to speed up my little wizard but as said…. Too much to rake through in so little time….

Thanks for your help.

Save OmapClock.exe in \Windows folder on the device

Make a shortcut anywhere (maybe programs but NOT the StarUp folder yet in case speed is unstable!) OR copy over the shortcuts supplied (Editable in WinXP Notepad)
Seems these shortcuts made in XP work and the ones made in the PPC don't

Run OmapClock at various speeds to test stability (If speed is stable then continue otherwise test at lower speed)

Create a shortcut to OmapClock.exe in \Windows\Startup and alter properties to stable speed eg. "\Windows\OmapClock.exe" –clock 240
Change to 228 or 240 or 252 etc. to the clock speed you found stable

Soft reset and test
Suspending the device will reset the device back to the default speed
This is a secondary test to make sure the device does not lock up!

To auto overclock after reset too...
Open MemMaid and choose the Notification queue button/tab on the bottom (second icon from left) then click the ADD button

For program, click the browse button and browse to the shortcut you created in \Windows\Startup

From the event dropdown choose “The device woke up” and click ADD

It should display...
When: The device woke up
Argument: AppRunAfterWakeup

Select "Start Up Program" (Fourth icon from left to right)
click ADD and find the shortcut file

Close MemMaid and soft reset

Your Clock speed will should remain at the specified speed even when the device comes out of suspend


SWITCHES & EXAMPLES
-------------------

OmapClock -clock <freq> [-confirm] [-launch <path> [-restore]]

-clock <freq>
installs frequency of the processor in MHZ

-confirm
require acknowledgements of the change the frequency

-launch <path>
start the program (the way to reference in rabbit earses!)

-restore
restore former frequency after termination of the uncared-for program (is ignored unless it is given parameter -launch)

Sequence parameter importances has not.

The Examples:
OmapClock -clock 132
OmapClock -clock 144 -confirm
OmapClock -clock 144 -launch "\Storage Card\Test.exe" -restore

To overclock for a certain program and then restore to normal when ended...

Change programs shortcut in \Windows\Start menu to...

OmapClock -clock 216 -launch "\Program Folder\Program.exe" -restore

Ok, forget that last message - for some reason, nothing happened when I opened omapclock the first time so I got confused.


Here's my question. In the smartski .ini file, it says the following:


; set OMAPCLOCK to the clock if you want to use omapclock and automatically
; set the clock speed after wakeup, you should put OmapClock.exe in the same
; directory of smartskey.exe
; REMEMBER TO REMOVE ';' BEFORE THE LINE TO ENABLE IT
;OMAPCLOCK=264
;REMOVEDUPSDDAEMON=0


I don't know what this means - can someone translate - should I delete the semicolon that is right in front of "omapclock = 264"?

Should I also delete anything else (like the explanation of what to do)?

Lastly, my Omapclock always says it is running at 280 when I turn on my MDA. I can change it back down, but once I leave my MDA alone for a while and it turns itself off, I'll turn it back on and it'll be up to 280 again.

???confused

Let me understand this. You have to copy the OmapClock.exe to /Windows folder. Than go to a program in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and change its shortcut to OmapClock -clock 235 -launch "\Storage Card\Program Files\Skype for Pocket PC\Skype.exe" -restore or \Program files\TCPMP\player.exe -restore. Is this right??

You can use omapscaler but it has 3 main problems that we hope oily will soon fix.
1. Causes random soft resets
2. Often causes activesync to shut down
3. Too memory hungry

I tried it with many different settings but it is too buggy.

I do it, but i haven't such device to test it. So you can try attached version of the OmapClock compiled under eVC 3.0

Hope this helps you.

Well, I tested it on an Mpx200, Wm2002, Rom: BEN6-0630-012

The GUI is not working properly and is not displaying the speed selector. However it correctly reports the current speed and changes to desired without problem. You should be double careful about the speed you are switching to though :)

Commandline is working great; it is working as expected; with all bells and whistles. The -confirm switch is also working flawlessly.

I tested 108Mhz and 132Mhz speeds (default 120 on Mpx200, FYI) and working. My default speed at the moment is 108 for battery saving (phone only) and 132 for PDA tasks; switching via shortcuts in Programs menu.

Thnx again for the very nice app.

great stuff... just a question: do you know H2 have omapclock launched with built-in apps such as contact or explorer? the shorcuts in start menu for these apps are different from the one of the installed apps... :confused:

Thanks in advace

OK, I'm working on a SPV M600.

I saved OmapClock.exe to my device. I ran it and set the speed to 240. I created a shortcut and pasted it in \Windows\StartUp.

How do I edit the properties? The target presently reads \Program Files\omapclock\OmapClock.exe and the properties window in File Explorer won't let me change that. :confused:

Replies in mono-syllables, please!

Just copy the .lnk to the desktop and use the notepad, is the easier way...
the first number is just the number of letters, as example:
#7 program
and the rest is something like:
"omapclock.exe'' -clock228
where "omapclock.exe'' is the complete path to the exe ("/windows/omapclock.exe" in your case i guess) and the last part is for the speed...

I am using an MDA with X's ROM, the new Radio ROM and plan to be testing Skype. If Skype is intended, what's the current settings for OMAP and where do I download the latest version?

I am getting a phone and would like to run skype googetalk on it so I can use voip. I see alot information on how to run it. My only question is how to use omapclock application. I attach my phone through active sync what do I do next to overclock it I want to overclock it to around 220mhz. Also a question is will this cause any damage to the cpu in the long run.. I think for skype I have to clock this at 240mhz. Thanks for your replies

I have the O2 Mini S and I'm running Skype low-cpu prog download directly from the skype website. I am able to use skype on my phone with no problems at all i even held a conversation from the end of my street with the wi-fi signal strength set just one bar. If Skype is the only reason your wanting to overclock your XDA then I would try it out with the out of the box settings first because you may find that you don't need to overclock it at all.
Bear in mind that this thread statrted in 2004! Alot has changed since then in relation to software and hardware updates!

Just a thought. Mark.

Which version is that? I'm on the Skype website now and I can't find a download that supports the Wizard. I see there's the normal PocketPC version and a beta Smartphone version..

Never mind, I found it. Woo hoo!

Hi,
I have a HTC S710 and it has a clockspeed 186 mhz standard.
I have used OMAPCLOCK and now I'm running on 276 mhz without any complaining. I can watch deasent divx videos with 21 fps.
A good quality mp4 I can watch with 55 fps.
I have a qwery keyboard witch can move so my screen wil be portrait when I hide my keyboard and landscape when I take my keyboard out.
Normaly it wil take about 1 or 2 seconds to switch the screen but now it only take about 1/2 second to switch.
The batterylife i'm not really having problem with but if i'm not using the cpu speed I preffeur underclocking my cpu

Actually I am trying it since 4 months ago it is perfect, specially I used to use i-mate JAM which have a 400 MHz processor, so i noticed the difference in performance very well, after using OMAPClock it is almost the same speed.

Hello,

I have had no problem running OMAPclock on my HTC S710. But as soon as my phone goes into the "screen off" mode, it seems to reset back to 182mhz speed.

I've tried several tools designs to make OMAPclock "sticky" and stay boosted (and some tools even claim to allow you to change the speed based on the state of the phone), but none have worked so far on my HTC S710.

Does anyone who has a Vox have a solution that works? Ideally, I would like for different settings to be enabled based on full-bright, dim, and screen-off modes to save battery life. But I would settle for a solution that keeps my Vox humming at 252mhz the entire time.

Any info greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon

You have to get OmapClock and OmapClock Plus to do this. Search for it somewhere on this forum.

What would be the best speed to overclock to using a 8125

mikebode
4th October 2007, 06:32 PM
I'm using omapclock to overclock my 8125 mildly to 216 Mhz. That seems to have increased the responsiveness quite nicely. The higher you go, the hotter the processor runs, and the shorter the battery life is. As it is already hort enough with bluetooth enabled, I am happy with the device at 216 MHz.

It's probably been said before, but if you use smartskey (I consider it a mUST), you can also set it to restart the overclocking after a reboot or sleep cycle. Install it in main memory, not storage card if you want to use it. I would suggest that anyway. I had it installed on the storage card before and got error messages, and I had to reset the device to factory settings in the end.

Why not just simply use BatteryStatus which automatically sets the speed on restart, or on wakeup. The beta version even allows application specific overclocking. Just do a little search and you'll find this app. It's all free too.

This tools does it, so it is possible. Can someone explain me how ?

What would be the best speed to overclock to using a 8125

Old thread, but I've been using Omapclock for a few years now. I had to do a hard rest a few weeks ago so after reinstalling everything again I started adjusting the clock speed again. Tonight I hit the top speed of 300mhz and it put my 8125 in a constant reset. Damn, I decided to play with it at 11:30pm, now I'm in the process of a hard reset and then loading everything back up. Guess it's no sleep tonight........
Lesson learned..... I set the console clock speed first and then "registered". I should have waited on that and tried the other first setting first, that way when it did a soft reset it would have reset the clock speed.

First, starting a new thread is a better way to get your error addressed. Unless, of course, you think your error is being caused by overclocking. If that's the case, try removing the overclock to see if the situation improved.

If not, and this is an unrelated problem, I'd suggest you clean out your device. You are probably running out of memory, and/or running too many programs at once.

There are a few programs that you can use to find out what's going on, and which can help you clean up your phone.

I recommend Task Manager v. 2.9 (http://www.dotfred.net/TM/TaskMgrv3.0_WM2005.zip) to see what's running. From this app, you can also close non-critical programs and free up memory temporarily.

Chances are, you may also need to install HTC X Button (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/HTC%20X-Button.CAB). This changes the nature of the close button so that it actually closes programs. WM5 defaults to just minimizing programs when the close button is clicked, with very few exceptions.

I also recommend using ClearTemp (http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff/cleartemp.zip) to get rid of all the debris left behind by programs like Internet Explorer. You'll be surprised how much hard memory can be recovered using a tool like this.

Links are directly to cab/zip files.

I was reading this thread and decided to make my first post on this site. I have BatteryStatus on my phone and I have found that overclocking it to 273MHz works well on my phone. I tried 286 MHz, but it seemed to be a bit unstable. Although, setting the speed at 273 surprised the hell out me :D. My phone runs like a champ now!

There was someone in the thread stating that they overclocked above 300MHz! WOW! But, not on my phone....
