Overclocking

[bolasz]

:D

It's not intended for the Wizard but it works!
There is one limitation though, after standby it reverts back to default.

Thanks to Kremo for this find!

[steewb]

I tried it and it worked!

It said my OMAP is running at 180MHZ! I thougt it is 200Mhz?
So i should be able to boost the speed to 200 Mhz (programm uses 8Mhz steps, so it would be 204Mhz) without any problem?!

[bolasz]

It said my OMAP is running at 180MHZ! I thougt it is 200Mhz?


on my wizard the about page says 195, TCPMP says 168 and this app says 180...

I used TCPMP to check.

[steewb]

Where do i find that TCPMP?

[guttrhead]

Sweet, does it speed up both cores? Anyone seen what speed the wizard maxes out at?

[bolasz]

Where do i find that TCPMP?Google for it.

[rookery]

any benchmark after overclocked ????

[jimmy_boy]

So the question is whos a dare to overclock a £500 device.
not me thats for sure!

wow this is amazing i have been waiting for this forever. my sjphone is really fast now and i have less skipping. my snes emulator runs so much better. thanks for sharing this with us.

[grinny11]

wow even skype works great with voice cancelation checked!!!! finally flawless voice over ip

[dafit]

That's all great, but more speed comes with more heat... Does anybody have an idea what this overclocker will do with the cpu? Does the OMAP cpu have a way of measuring the temperature?

Greets,
David

[bolasz]

@dafit
If you overdo it,the worst that happens is that it resets itself.

@grinny11
Just don't forget to run the app before you use e.g. Skype because speed goes back to default when you put your phone in standby.

[grinny11]

thanks bolasz. the highest stable i get mine to is 264 through the app which reports 250 in tcpmp. if i do anything higher it just freezes and i reset.

Official discussion and new versions
http://www.wce.by/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2014

P.S Sorry - use translator with russian language on english.

Parameters of the command line

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\test.exe" -restore

[Carmi]

do I need to run this program affter very standby ?

[bolasz]

do I need to run this program affter very standby ?
Unfortunately yes.
But actualy there is no point to run your device at higher frequency all time.
The -launch parameter as suggested by arc is great to switch to higher freq only when needed e.g when you want to use Skype.

[grinny11]

i'm not familiar with command lines for pocket pc. how would i make it so that it overclocks for skype and restores it in the end. do i make some kind of bat file?

[bolasz]

Change Skype's shortcut in \Windows\Start menu to

OmapClock -clock 216 -launch "\where\skype\is\installed\skype.exe" -restore

[johannesl]

wow... thks bolasz. it really works
at last the waiting is over.
that it goes to default clock when going on standby, i considered as a big plus.

[topcaser]

I have got some questions:

1. Is there the possibility to see the current clock frequency or any third party tool (excpt to TMCP)?

2. Is there a restore functionalty to the original clock speed during the app is running? I ask this because of following: I am using MN5 and you wait 45 sec. to be started (to get to the first entry screen). Also during navigation through the menus i want to have maximum clock speed because it lasts very (very very - round about 10 sec.) long until the next screen appears. But during navigation itself the speed of the clock without overclocking is reasonable - and its a matter of battery power because upto now i dont use any external power supply in the car (since the Wizard is so much power saving). Maybe some pretty low speed up during navigation will be ok to get rid of the delay during GPS Navigation. But this means:

3. Is there a functionality to: Speed up the clock to a (personal) maximu rate (ok thats the basic functionality of the tool), to set a lower than maximum speed frequency and after all restore the original speed?

4. Thats the next question: original speed: I assume the tool adapts to a fix ed frequency. Nevertheless the "original speed" of the device is not a fixed frequency at all, but the BIOS adapts the freuqency of the Wizard on demand. E.g. if one does nothing on the Wizard, the clock speed is lowered to a minimum automatically. If i use this restore functionality: Is the clock speed afterwards adatpted to a the very last frequency before overclocking or is it controled by BIOS again?

4. How fast is the switching of clock speed? I ask this if it is worth to "wrap" each tool of the wizard with a sequence which speeds up the device during launch of the tool and restore it at once after it started. E.g. the rotation of the screen will last some time sometimes. Is it possible to wrap the rotation command itself for example?

5. it is written more than once in this thread that the wizard looses the settings if it is set in standby. What does standby means in this context? Is it soft reseting or just simple pushing the off button shortly?

Thanx for the answers in advance.

[grinny11]

sorry i just don't see the way to enter this information to add the command line. Do i need to install special software for that.

Thanks, I got it now directly from the forum.

Has anyone been testing it on Wizard?

[copacetic]

yes, just how do you create/modify a shortcut?

[fychan]

I have tested the overclock on my Dopod 818 Pro (Prophet)

It seems that 264/252MHz is the limit
For better stability I feel 240MHz is a more suitable settings.

Anyway to get this automatically started upon wake ups from standbys?

Nice tool!! .....can feel the slight improvement to screen refreshes and swapping between programs.

Can't wait to have this permanently turned on!!

Cheers

[joebongo]

240's pretty much returned it to the wm2003se speeds for me.

wonder if this is melting the little omap fella?

And....anyone know how to make the clock selector stay on the last one you had? Or alternatively be set to a favourite speed?

joe

[Hokum]

Best ways to tell, is the battrey life alot shorter? If you get big drops then your CPU os probably going to fast. Modest over clocks, should only slightly change power draw. Also if you stress test the CPU and get errors then its too much.

This is from my PC tweaking background, but these are little PC's pretty much.

[joebongo]

Hokum - what would you recommend I do to stress test a ppc?

Since this was originally written for Motorolas, can anyone get a hold of the source code and do a re-write specifically for the Wizard? I'm guessing this would get rid of the standby-mode problem.

Sorry, but OmapClock not open source project at this moment, so i not provide source code.
But, how i understand, yours problem is what after Wizard returned from standby mode clock is resetted to it's default value.

I don't promise, but i will see what can i do to solve this.

P.S. I thought: maybe create separate support forum for english-speaking dudes? ;)

What version of Skype for PPC are you all using to get 'flawless' sound? I am trying the latest beta off their web site (v2.0.0.39) with OmapClock at 216 and 228 and still have issues with the break-up of sound over WiFi. Are you using .41 designed for low-power CPUs?

intruders, it seems to keep losing the clock setting and reverting to 180 even without turning the device onto standby, just normal usage and docking to ActiveSync. Is this a known issue?

On Typhoon smartphones system also reset clock to default value from time to time. Because i haven't such device i can't research this problem more detailed (i.e. when exactly that happens).

Simplest solution is run in background and watch periodically current clock - if is has been changed, then set it back again. But this solution have one minus - program must be always running, i.e. take place in memory.

More right solution might be implemented if clock resets only when system waked up after stand-by. In this case, exists possibility to "subscribe" program on this wake up event (by API's CeRunAppAtEvent). So program not needed to be always running - when system waked up program will be launched automatically by system.

[lbc]

making a shortcut for each program is perhaps a right solution ?

yeah i have the low cpu version of skype and i have my phone overclocked to a 264 which reports 250 in tcpmp. and of course i am using wifi and not edge. there is a little break up. but highly usuable.

[jaxf250]

No, no problems here. Are you going past 240 MHz?

No problem here also. I have a shortcut to run Skype at 240 and another shortcut to run at 220.

Guys, remember, the speed increase lasts only as long as you have the device on. If you put it back into suspend mode, the device will go back to it's native speed.

So, even if you use Skype at 240mhz for awhile, the effect on battery life probably isn't going to be that great. Yes, you will experience some more battery drain, but hey, you can't have everything.

[bolasz]

Intruders 'CeRunAppAtEvent'-idea gave me an idea for a solution for the standby-matter.
I made a shortcut to OmapClock with thw switch -clock and the desired speed, so my shortcut looks like this:

40#"\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 216

Then using MemMaid I added a new entry to the Notification queue pointing to the above shortcut and with the argument AppRunAfterWakeup.
This makes the app run and set the higher freq every time you switch back on your Wizard.

[meroupow]

:shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very happy too.

I like the fact it stops when phone goes to standby.
I just added a shortcut to one hardware button to get the speed quickly when I need it.

If I can add my stone. Mine seems stable at 288Mhz.

TCPMP was saying 170Mhz before and 270 after whereas OmapClock was saying 180MHz to 288MHz.

Below is a test with TCPMP (165% to 294%).

I will try and watch some TV over wifi at home to test battery drain.

I have to say that I know a couple of comercial overclocking softwares that missed a good occasion to improve their sales...

When I turn the device off/on with this in MemMaid, nothing happens and it stays at 180 :? The shortcut is correct as I use it as my Startup shortcut. Any ideas?

[CJSnet]

Sorry intruders, it's great but just too clunky. It goes off when on standby, screen lock, sync. Even when using MemMaid to set special little commands, it still doesn't stay that speed when coming out of standby 100% of the time.

Need something we can just leave running and forget about, and would happily pay to get it! :)

Initialization failed.

Reason: Can't map I/O


Has this happen to anyone else?

Thanks

[citats]

Anyone have an idea as to why the discrepancy between the various apps about the actual clock speed. Is the OMAP that difficult to acurately measure?

[intruders]

It's seems to be what your smartphone is "locked". Try unlock him via SDA_ApplicationUnlock util.

[intruders]

Anyone have an idea as to why the discrepancy between the various apps about the actual clock speed. Is the OMAP that difficult to acurately measure?
It's simple: in OMAP processors core clock is defined by formula:
(CLKIN * mult) / div, where mult=[1..31], div=[1..4]
In theory, CLKIN must be 12MHz, but in practice it can be less, about 11MHz

So, TCPMP shows real clock value (i.e. calculated programmically), but OmapClock shows clock value calculated by above formula from known mult and div.

no we want an application that will come on out of standby and stay on through everything. I would donate. I was checking pocket hackmaster and xcpuscaler everyday to see if they had developed something. lost money for them. good thing cause they really didn't seem to care in thier forums.

I'm sure you could set up a PayPal donate account, and after reaching a certain amount of cash, releasing the source code. As I gather you don't have a Wizard, so would have difficulty making a native version.

Or, perhaps, you could just point us in the direction of how you did the overclocking.

[CJSnet]

Not sure about source code or any of that stuff, just want a program that will keep my defined clock speed 100% of the time no matter what. Simple!

If you write it, we'll donate for it!

[bnycastro]

I actually like the going to previous clock speed at suspend... i suggest keeping it as an optional setting if ever another app is developed solely for the wizard. :)

[tomasz]

My Vario, running a qtek rom, does NOT revert back to 180MHz when returning from standby. Just keeps running at 240MHz. The increase in performance in TomTom, Snes9x and TCPMP is staggering.

I have no exotic software installed. Just Pocketinformant and iLauncher.

[Paltkungen]

I´ve assigned the hardwarebutton "112" to a shortcut that activate the program and set the speed to 240.

It´s handy, you can activate in a simple way when you need the speed, and you don´t drain the battery...

[Paltkungen]

Intruders,
get us the program and I will Pay! :wink:

Is Wizard using OMAP850 chip, with ARM926EJ-S processor core?
ARM926EJ-S V5 architecture seems to be specs up to 200 MHz maximum frequency, maybe this ain't a absolute truth after all. :D

[emonty]

Hi,

i have an SP5, installed the programme, set the clock speed to 262 (higher gives me a reset) and it works great with:
Tomtom, Navigon 5.2 and Skype, thank you very much. Looking foreword to updates etc.

cheers

[Chris09]

I tried the clockprog with 252 and pocketquake, as well as pocketskype.

It makes pocketquake quite playable and skype works almost perfect.

I like the prog as it is now - use it when you need it and it deactivates itself during standby when you do not need it.

I assigned it also to a hardware button - most handy and quick if I need power.

I would not use this prog if it permanently overclocked my processor - the risk of long term negative effects seems to high to me.

Thumbs up for this. This is quite exactly what I needed :)

[ZeBoxx]

I'm curious.. has anybody tried to -underclock- their OMAP with this yet? :)

[tomasz]

@ zeboxx

Have my vario running stable at 168 MHz to see if it saves battery time, because I have a pretty rotten battery (16hrs of standby-time at most) Keeping track of power consumption now and it seems to help a little (10% decrease of power consumption whilst standby) All standard WM5 apps and functions perform fine on this lower clock.

[Chris09]

what?! who would do THIS and WHY ?!:shock:

could be useful in order to make the battery life longer ;P

I will try it sometime ... for reading an ebook during a long train journey or flight a little bit "underclocking"could be useful in order to enlarge battery life...

Hi,

I cant seem to use the -options, as soon as I put them in the shortcut and try to launch the shortcut it tells me that the file is not signed or cannot find one of its components.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Assuming you have OmapClock.exe in your \Windows folder, your shortcut would be:

\Windows\OmapClock.exe" -clock ___ {or whatever option you're using}

(Just place a " after the .exe)

2 intruders

Hi there!
Please check your PM :wink:

[Reaper]

Thnx very very much intruders, this is a great app. I just like everyone else with an Omap has been looking/waiting for an app like this for a long time.

@everyone, is 240 the confirmed maximum? Or does it differ for each wizard?

[ZeBoxx]

Oh I just can't wait for the first person to dunk their wizard in liquid nitrogen and find out! ;)

[naughty]

Thnx very very much intruders, this is a great app. I just like everyone else with an Omap has been looking/waiting for an app like this for a long time.

@everyone, is 240 the confirmed maximum? Or does it differ for each wizard?

Mine works normally at 252Mhz

[dalewinterstein]

286 mhz works for me. But froze a comple times while using some apps. Anything highre and the device locks up instantly. Also i Find If I set it to anything higher then 240 then the notification trick on device awake doesnt work. It loses the settings and goes back to default. at 240 it remembers to go back to 240 after wake up. Anyone else verify this ?

[Heijdemann]

The max with my Wizard is 216 when I go higher it is resetting.?
Further the trick with Memmaid works great thnks

[Robotochan]

My XDA ran stable at 276MHz Running benchmarks on it just now to see the difference between 180MHz and 276MHz, will let you know how I get on in a while, already done a high res animation file at had an increase in speed of about 26% on TCPMP :)

[waiho]

Hello,

The program run very well on 252 Mhz, but I will remain to 242Mhz.
I wonder when will this program will run permenantly eventho in standby or etc... all the current issue.

Thanks Intruders!

[guttrhead]

I set the program to 264, which TCPMP read as 250. Everything worked great. Played flux challenge for about 30 min, benchmarked a low quality divx file which went from about 170% to 260%. No problems.

[Robotochan]

Well here are my findings in Excel. overclocking pushed up the CPU power enough to get more than enough frames per second to run one of the files at full speed :)

[Thibale]

The mem maid tricks works perfectly at 250mhz !

I've put a shortcut into \windows\startup

and made mem maid pointing to it.

So my wizard starts à 250mhz (226 say TCPMP) and get always back to 250mhz after standby or a soft reset

Be sure your Wizard is stable at the freq you choose otherwise it won't stop hanging after soft reset...

[JoninLA]

Just a quick plea having waded through five pages of notes on this app..... Is there any chance someone could just start a file with all these tips n tricks for startup etc in it that can be edited and added to as we move on with this thread? It's going to run to many many pages before we get through.

[Thibale]

Works perfectly at 264mhz (250 in TCPMP)

PERFECTLY stable: i've lauched TCPMP with a full quality divx, TOMTOM, Resco and PIE during 30mn and the system didn't hang

Putting omapclock at startup as i said above makes the wizard always run à 264mhz!

[nbh]

I´ve assigned the hardwarebutton "112" to a shortcut that activate the program and set the speed to 240.

It´s handy, you can activate in a simple way when you need the speed, and you don´t drain the battery...
can you tell us more on how you did that ?

thanx

[topcaser]

I have suggested to implement a little app which does the following:

A little app, where we can assign the new command line overclocking tool to. Once assigned to a HW Button this little app should:

Toggle between some (user defined) clock settings and a little window (really a little window where only the current clock is depicted) appears for 1 sec.

Lets say you specify clock frequencies 132, 156, 180 (normal operation frequency), 216 and 252. By pressing the HW button once the tool should switch to 216 (the window says: 216), by pressing the HW button again: 252 and afterwards to 132.


What do you think from this application?

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.

[stot]

Assuming you have OmapClock.exe in your \Windows folder, your shortcut would be:

\Windows\OmapClock.exe" -clock ___ {or whatever option you're using}

[topcaser]

Here are some battery drain values. I am not sure if they are very accurate because the measurement was very simple: i have looked for the battery meter only, noted the current value, switched PDA on for half an hour and measured again.
Here are the results:
180 MHz (no overclocking): 4% Battery drain
252 MHz: 6%
132 MHz: 3 %


Maybe one can retry the test with always the same conditions:
Soft reset before each test and afterwards the same video for lets say half an hour - better one.

[shahzadkhan15nov]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anyone tried xCPUScaler? When I had MPx300 (TI OMAP 730 or 750 processor? not sure... with 200MHz). I could overclock it to 520/512?MHz.

I kept it low to avoid battery drainage and of course avoiding the processor crash.

I also heard/read that new version of xCPUScaler is available?

[blackobsidian]

Hmmm... Would it be possible to under-clock the device but then when an app is used, boost it up to overclocked?

Not sure it'd do the processor much good though going from slow to turbo and then back to clow when the app is closed...

[RedRob]

I also heard/read that new version of xCPUScaler is available?

I can't find a version that supports teh htc wizard. Can you?

[ZeBoxx]

afaik that app is for the XScale family of CPUs from Intel - and I don't think any TI OMAP is compatible with the XScale extended instruction set, which would include power and speed management

[mikey411]

Thanks for the instructions keitht! :D

[Paltkungen]

nbh:

I´ve copied these instructions from another thread...

Softkeys
In a nutshell, there is an key called 112 under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys that contains two entries: the (default) value, which contains the label that is displayed on the Today screen (currently set to Calendar), and an Open value, which is currently set to the Calendar applet's full executable path, "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (yes, include the quotes). Simply change both values as you see fit and it will customize the left soft key.

I´ve put the shortcut described earlier in this thread instead of "\Calender.exe"

[victoradjei]

Paltkungen, your post should go under the thread for the softkeys :roll:

[tomasz]

Does anyone know how to change a shortcut icon in WM5? When I use omapclock to overclock my wizard when starting TomTom, the shortcut gets the omapclock icon. I have multiple shortcuts this way, so it's nog really getting any more usable on the today screen like this. (iLauncher).

iLauncher gives me an option to change the image, but I can't find any images that I can use for this.

[ag0w]

Works a Charm on the Charmer to 276MHz - ho ho

As a 'benchmark' it decreases my run time on opening Messages from 6seconds to 3seconds And benchmark in TCPMP increases from 550 to 880

It really does fix the big problem with the charmer - lack of processor power - The fact it isn't 'permanent' is good from a power usage point of view - simply adding it to the apps you want to run faster.

To the folks that are concerned about burning the processor I wouldn't worry - set it too high and it just soft - reboots. I would say these processors are set lower than they can work at simply to save power - increaseing their speed is not a problem just battery use increases --- I would say that at 276MHZ battery life drops to that of my XDA2 (ie from 36 hours to approx 8-12? or to put it another way - from a Cell phone to a PDA).

Also Dont forget the value of reducing clock speed - If playing MP3s reduce clock to around 90 and you will get ~ 50% longer play. Although there does seem to be some kind of bug whereby if you increase speed back t0 180 after being on 90 it will often soft reset

Incidentally I found that Reg Hack that makes a 4096 mem cache had quite a favorable effect on performance too - although many seem to suggest it should have no effect at all.

What would be perfect is something like XCPUScalar set at min 90 max 276 - but I beleive that only works on X-Scale with no plans for OMAP according to the web-site

[shahzadkhan15nov]

Hi,
Thanks for raising the point.
When I used XCPUScaler version 2.82, it was also neither mentioned for MPx300 nor for OMAP processors but it worked greaat

You may wanna use the trial version. Their website is http://www.immiersoft.com

After the installation, make sure you dont enable auto-launch at start. Once your machine is up, observe the stability of your device. Then launch it, if you don't see any response within two minutes, soft-reset. Try the same thing again, if still no response, soft-reset and remove the application from your system

G'luck

I also heard/read that new version of xCPUScaler is available?

I can't find a version that supports teh htc wizard. Can you?

[Troxelke]

Hello, first of all, thanks for this application!!! :D

However, on my MPx220 it does not work! After executing the application it responds:

"initialization failed. Reason: Can't map I/O"

I saw the previous post with the same problem. However, my phone is not sim-locked or something... so I don't know what to do!!

Someone knows what the problem is??

Thanks! :) :) :)

[DoctorT]

my "border line" is 300MHz - anything below that works like a charm... :D

regarding xcpuscaler: it CAN'T work on the wizard - no way, as the omap has a completely different structure and the commands to set the cpu clock rate are different!!

just because the programme may run on that device and may show different clock speeds, that doesn't mean the cpu is working with the speed shown by the software!!

Hey guys..
I can't seem to get my camera to work again... :(
I think this happened after overclocking once...
As soon as I press the camera button, or select it in the menu my device locks up.. :?
ANy idea how I can resolve this issue?
And do your cameras still work after overclocking?
No possibility I blew out the camera function by overclocking to much?
HELP!!!!!

[Trets]

Hi p50kombi,

Camera's still working here (Qtek 9100), no problems (so far...). How far did you go up with the speed? I didn't exceed 250MHz.

Does anybody know about temperature-issues?? Does the baby switch to standby before getting roasted?

Andreas

[Paltkungen]

No problem for me, I have 240 Mhz constantly!

hmm maybe it's not overclock related....
Everything works great, except the camera....

my experience shows disappearing folders on SD card after overclocking more than 252mhz

anyone seeing this? also Qtek 9100 starter reseting every 5 mins or so.. I had to hard reset

Thanks for the little guide here!

[abifar]

HI there
I am using 252mhz, in short Time usage it is stable but in long Time usage is unstable and hang up . one step down in 240 is better .
thanx for this good application but seems ,it is not very helpfull becuase really this CPU is much slower than Xscales .
bythe way thanx :D

How fast could a mpx200 run maximum on wm5 without damaging the hardware or something?

[madu]

Firstly, WHAT AN AMAZING SOFT!!! THANK YOU!

I have i-mate SP5 (WM5 Smartphone). Works no probs up to 264 (not tested more).
The difference is obvious. Much faster.
The slowest I tried was ~100.

I have not had any problems with my phone resetting itself.
The frequency always resets to 180 after standby (some time of inactivity).

BUT, when I set it to low freq about 100 and then go up to 180-200, it freezes and then resets itself.

I belive the problem is in a FAST CHANGE with BIG DIFFERENCE.
Maybe a program should make big changes in 2-3 steps automatically?
Needs more testing.


PS: Can something like MemMaid or SKTools be used for Smartphone WM5.0?? I need to automate the process...

[VOODOOS!L]

I just want to use the OmapClock when using TomTom, for other programs I prefer the standard speed and battery consumption...

Is it possible to create a link that will launch OmapClock at a chosen clock speed and automaticly launch TomTom, so I can replace the TomTom shortcut and always launch OmapClock before TomTom without other user interception...

so I think the path of the shortcut would become something like:
""\Program Files\OmapClock.exe" -clock 240; \Program Files\TomTom\navigator.exe"

is this possible? didn't try it yet...

Yes it is... and you can find this method elsewhere in this topic. I would add "-restore" in order for the clockspeed to imediately step down after exiting/closing TT.

you can't. So we use other applications to make a shortcut. Try "ilauncher" .

Nice and light :)

I did weverything up there. Usually it remains at 240mhz, even when I suspend/reset, but sometimes it randomly just goes back to 180mhz. bit annoying. Think I'm just gunna make a shortcut on my homescreen with pocketplus.

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.

I did all the above and still when the device wakeup the speed is 180.

any idea how to solve this?

Open MemMaid and check the notification queue. Make sure there is a line:

\Windows\Startup\OmapClock.lnk

and the argument displays:

When: The device woke up
Argument: AppRunAfterWakeup

If you do not see the item in the list, it didn't save. Repeat the MemMaid steps in my original post to try again. If that doesn't work, I am not sure what the issue is. Maybe MemMaid isn't working properly.

I did it using SKTools. And the notification queue didn't save. So I created it again and noticed that the Argument wasn't there. I then manually created the AppRunAfterWakeup line. I soft resetted and now the line is gone again in the Notification queue but it the clock speeds does keeps it's changes... :lol: :?: :lol:
Well at least it is working now as it seems...
Thanks,

Just some more info on this problem.
The added notification queue didn't stick because the way I did my soft reset.
Using the stylus in the softreset hole is not the good way! :(
I had to hold the power button and power off. Then when turned on the K-Jam made it's soft reset and the setting did stick! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[wonderben]

I think you have to wait for a few seconds (as little as 2 seconds) after it wakes up and then run the program again, then you should see the clock is running at the new speed?

[mike freegan]

still doesn't work! It just jumps back to 180 after waking up :/ I gave up and made a pocketplus desktop icon linking to the shortcut "OmapClock -clock 240" in its properties :/

[andonevris]

still doesn't work! It just jumps back to 180 after waking up :/ I gave up and made a pocketplus desktop icon linking to the shortcut "OmapClock -clock 240" in its properties :/

I'm having the exact same problem. The entry is listed in the notification queue but the phone is still at 180 when it wakes up.

After a bit of digging around I've realised I can't get anything to run after wake up so the problem seems to be the phone doesn't realise it's waking up and so not exeuting the command.

I can only guess tha some other software is interfering with this somehow. I've got stacks of stuff installed so tracking the culprit down will be very hard. If that is the problem at all!!

I notice you're running pocketplus as I am too. Does anyone else with pocket plus have this problem or is it working for everyone else?

Shame really, as I like to overclock all my processors :shock:

[Michael Lin]

sorry i just don't see the way to enter this information to add the command line. Do i need to install special software for that.

You need to use software like "resco file explorer" to modify the property of the shortcut.

I wonder if this notification queue problems are ralated to witch program used. When I used Memaid there was not any problem, but with SKTools...
after installed SKT and using their notification Q, sometimes it wont start the shortcut plased in the queue. It have happemd to me twice now...

[Paltkungen]

By the way, anybody knows if there are any uppgrades?

It has been quiet a long time now, from Intruders...

Hey paltkungen

I'm using memaid too but still no joy. If I place a simple timed entry in the notification queue it executes fine. Only the "apprunafterwakeup" entries don't execute

Where is the notification queue located? Maybe I'll try a manual entry to see if that works.

[Paltkungen]

Now, after hardreset and new installation of SKTools everything went fine.

If you mean where in the registry it is possibly to change, I can´t help you, but the question is intresting for me too...

Yes that was what I meant :)

Anyway for now I've turned my comm manager button into a "turbo" button for when I'm using apps, but ideally I'd like it overclocked all the time.

I'll keep digging and post any info I find

[dalewinterstein]

Try this. Might work. Delete the omap link from the memmaid notifications.
Soft reset with POWER BUTTON.
Then reinsert with memmaid. I found that when I set it to 254 it was working and I wanted to try higher, i just changed the frequency in the omap.lnk file. It was then when it always jumped back to 180. When I then deleted the notification, soft rest then anddd the notification and softrest it stuck at 268. It might be some for of cache that conflicts with the program.. dunno but try it.

[Heijdemann]

I read here only topspeeds, the highest speed I can use is 202 with omap when I goes higher everything goes wrong also the phone don't work anymore...!

Hey Dale,

thanks for the suggestion, didn't work unfortunately. I can't seem to get anything to run on device wakeup, shortcut works fine if I set a manual timed event in the notification queue.


Hmm bit of a head scratcher

[mike freegan]

wonder if it's something in the 02 ext. rom. I cleaned my ext. rom alot, but left a few things in there.

All I hae installed is SPB Pocket Plus and Voice Command

Also, I cannot get connection settings to run in my ext. rom. No matter what I do, I still end up having to put them in manually :S

TBH, I'm not too bothered about having to press a shortcut/turbo button. It means it saves battery power overall, as I only really need it overclocked for playing media.

[JNGold]

Hi all.

I have OC set to consistant 240mhz by using Omapclock at startup and device wakeup.

Here's the strange part. When I use PocketMusic, the speed holds while the app plays music. However, as soon as PocketMusic auto shut off the screen (music still playing), the OMAP goes back to 195mhz?

Is there anyway to avoid this?

TIA!

[wig]

just adding more background info....

Used memmaid process, entry stuck - I checked, from wakeup back to 180.

Restart the device, comes up 264 (my high water mark -1 step), suspend, wake up back to 180.

No Pocket Plus. Yes Voice Command.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

[Bogus]

just adding even more info :-)

After running through the instructions above I too found the following behaviour:
After soft-reset clock=288 (highest stable for me)
after subsequent power button cycles= clock returns to 180

(tested this 8 times (!) same result)

Then I tried doing a soft-reset via the mem-maid software button - same result as above...

Then I tried doing a soft-reset by holding the power button down until I get the "power down, data will be lost etc" prompt (hit ok) - then held power button again to wakeup and cause a soft-reset. Now the speed as listed in my short-cut sticks through power cycles no problem! It also now sticks (fully) after a soft-reset via the reset button.

Just a guess but perhaps the startup settings are being copied somewhere during the power-up soft-reset so that they stick from then on?

[BTW - skype works great now over WiFi - virtually zero skips on the echo123 test call]

[mike freegan]

I set up the mem-maid, and soft reset with the hardware button, but it still does it!

After soft reset, the speed is 240 (my highest stable speed), but after going into standby and then waking up speed returns to 180.

Can't you get it? Anything more than 240Mhz spoils notification startup upon resume. I think speeds above that spoil somehow the queue, although it works normally on 264Mhz until a suspend.. I had the same issue, sticking to 240Mhz will do fine for you. don't be greedy

[wig]

Follow up:

after I wrote the note last night, I went to bed. About 15 minutes between use of the device, I decided to play a quick game before going to sleep.

I turned it on, decided to check the speed for fun - and it stuck! WTF?!

So far so good. Stuck since then. Did nothing other than waiting a few.

[mike freegan]

Tell ya bwhat's wierd. sometimes after wakeup, I start omapclock, and the device is running at 240mhz (as it should).

I know it was just opened as I use a task manager to close everything with the x button.

I put on standby, and then when it wakes up again its back to 180mhz. Its like it just forgets to do it 90% of the time.

[matchtrader]

I am using SkTools to make the notification entry with no success. Perhaps Memmaid is required?

[lobo71]

I'm using a SPV C500 and I have a method to the wake up change with xbar 2.6:
Create a macro loop_omap.xmc :
\Storage\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.lnk
xmacro=s60000
\Storage\Windows\StartUp\loop_omap.xmc

Put loop_omap.xmc in \Storage\Windows\StartUp\
At boot the macro starts.
s60000 means the macro will slepp 60 secondes before restarting.

Create a shortcut of OmapClock.exe, rename it Omapclock.lnk, edit and replace text with :
#57"\Storage\Program Files\OmapClock\Omapclock.exe" -clock 216

You can change the 216 value with another one.
Place Omapclock.exe in \Storage\Program Files\OmapClock\
Placer OmapClock.lnk in \Storage\Program Files\OmapClock\
Reboot and enjoy.

If you change the location files, just change them in Omapclock.lnk and loop_omap.xmc
I have attached the files Omapclock.lnk and loop_omap.xmc.

Not sure what you mean naughty - the notification list was saved while my machine was running at 180? Besides, this procedure has worked perfectly for me as my clock is now 276 MHz no matter what I do (button soft-reset, suspend via power button, or suspend after time-out).

I'm very happy as it is now much much more responsive and as I said above Skype works like a charm even with echo cancellation ON (tested with a call to the other side of the planet with wireless at both ends)! It's not being greedy, it's called using it to its full potential :wink:

After uninstall SPB Plus notification trick in memmaid works again. Wasn't working with SPB PLus :(

[Paltkungen]

I´ve done the notification in SKTools, works lika nothing else :wink:

By the way, I´ve got SPB Pocket plus installed and there is no problem...

[X-man germ]

Just finished downloading and instatalling the overclock file and placed the start icon on the Spb Pocket plus and it works like a charm. Everthing is much quicker. Thanks to all and esp xda-developers for a fanastic web site. :D :D

[tdaly001]

I have been able to Skype and Use Vonage via SJPhone (2003SE) without problem. Set to 240 and VOIP works great.

[gwassef]

it works very good but if we can find a more easy solution for returning from standby mode to default settings it will be great, but assigning it to a hardware buttom is a good temproarly solution.

[jeffro01]

Problem:

I have got the shortcut setup right so that when the device launches it overclocks to 240. I followed the directions about adding the proper thing into memaid and memaid shows that its there but when i put my device to sleep and take it out again the clock revers back to 180. Am i missing something here??

Jeff

[lezink]

jeffro > make sure you have out a space between the "\where\file\is\stored\filename.lnk" and the : -clock xxx (where xxx is the new frequency)
I had the same problem and this solved it out

Hope it helps...

LeZinK

[laich71]

can i uninstall memmaid once the wake up thing is done, or will it only work while memmaid installed.

BTW running at 252 and no probs.

[ZeBoxx]

you can remove MemMaid, it should leave the notification queue intact. Keep in mind, though, that something else may remove the notification from the queue for whatever reason - and you would have to set it up again.

[yegor]

I cant seem to get it working on wake up, on my Jamin. I followed the instuctions to the dot.... the notification is set up, and in the queue... but it doesn't execute on wake up. After I soft reset it, it executes on start up, and works fine... but turning the device off/on reverts it back to 180.

[wig]

Well, whatever worked for me - stopped working. Can't get it to wake up at speed anymore, always back to 195.

Anyone have any clues on this?

[johnnypimp]

I'm using a SPV C500 and I have a method to the wake up change with xbar 2.6:

I have attached the files Omapclock.lnk and loop_omap.xmc.

At what clock did you have set your c500?

[Koksie]

For me it is better that sleep turns the overclock off. I don't want to overclock my Wizard continiously. A game of jawbreaker or a simple calendar entry does not require a higher speed. I just made a few shortcuts with standard (180) and higher (240, my highest stable speed) values. before using TT5.0 or TCPMP I hit the icon, after it I hit the 180 MHz one or just put it in sleep. Works a treat for me.
Constant overclocking when I don't need it consumes power and runs the risk of damaging the processor. So for me, this is working great.

[togolino]

hi,

first, sorry for my bad english!!

I have a VPA Compact II and Skype for PPC Low CPU speed dos not worke as well. I don´t understand anything my buddy says.

I hade some questions about overclocking my VPA.

I downloadet OmapClockV2 to my PC, but I am a little bitt angy to use it. Is it verry simpel or is it vor experts only?

Also a want to edit the wireless settings in the registry.
how can I do this? do I neade a programm for this??
If a change some things in my registry what happens after a hard reset?
do I losse this settings or are the still in posission??

Dear all
when i make a shourtcut to my application to run the omapclock frist then to launch my application the shortcut icon change from the original application icon to the window application icon, do anybody has anyidea about how to change the icon of the shortcut.

[Vap]

On a more general note it seems that any shortcuts made from main rom to programs on the storage card lose their icon.

Try moving your final program file (exe or whatever, may even need the app installing directly to device rather than storage card) and shortcut to it then, mine always uses (and sticks) the icon of the destination exe then.

Whether it will show the omapclock icon or the final app I do not know, but would assume omapclock as this is the app being called.

That's possible, if you app is for example TCPMP :
TCPMP.exe stored in Storage Card\Program Files\TCMPMP\
and if
Omapclock.exe stored in Storage\Program Files\OmpaClock\

Your shortcut must be like this:
#60"\Storage\Program Files\OmapClock\Omapclock.exe" -clock 204 -launch "\Storage Card\Program Files\TCMPMP\TCPMP.exe"
Just modify like this :
#60"\Storage\Program Files\OmapClock\Omapclock.exe" -clock 204 -launch "\Storage Card\Program Files\TCMPMP\TCPMP.exe"?\Storage Card\Program Files\TCMPMP\TCPMP.exe,-xxx

xxx is number you can have for example with Smart Explorer in Smartphone, it's the number of the icon in the application (.exe)
http://www.binarys.com/SmartExplorer_en.asp
In PPC, I don't know how to get this number but I think with a Resource Hack Program you can do it or perhaps there's a soft that does it.

With the SDK development tools, you can see this number too, go there, there is an how to making your icons and it shows how you can see this number.

Ok, I have used this and it works fine. I am having a little sluggeshness and want to remove the notification queue with mem maid to start the overclock at system wakeup. Anyone know how to remove a notification queue? I can only see where mem maid will look for duplicates. I even tried entering in the notification twice to see if it would find it then, but it wont. Any ideas?

Thanks

[guttrhead]

i had a qtek that worked fine at 264. switched to an 8125 and the first time i set it to 264, it froze and after a minute or so, everything on the screen faded away to white and the phone soft reset itself. That freaked me out and I couldn't understand why it would work on one phone and not the other. Well, I was brave and tried setting it to 264 again and it worked fine. Weird.

[rblover69]

just got the omapclock program , its hot. My question is stock setting is 204 correct, ...i only use the over clock to watch some divx vids and some games, other than that the stock 204 is fine . Just wanted to say that its awesome. I normally only go as high as 240 thats what seems to be the generall saftey speed here correct??

[GateArray]

OC @ 276 stable (48 hours test)

No... @ 276 sometimes the system became unstable...
I have to reduce the clock!!!!

@276 with TT5 everything seems to work fine but after a call the system could hang off and it is necessary to remove the battery!

I have a 8125 and I've been runing it @~240Mhz for a couple of weeks now. Last week I had my battery die on me. I mean DIE, nothing would happen on the phone. Black screen. I got it (the battery) replaced at a Cingular store. Today, after charging my phone overnight my battery showed it had only 9% charge. I could be wrong, but I'm very suspicious that overclocking is what's frying my batteries.
Any similar experiences?

I just found your site and i am realy impressed

i try the overclock think and works fine on my mda

just wanted to say thanks

(sorry for my english)

[XDA II]

I used MemMaid to add OmapClock to the Notification Queue and it works with 2 exceptions:

When I use the power button to switch off the device and wake it up using the power button the clock is back to default.

When I play music with TCPMP and use the feature to switch off the screen with a hardware key (provided by TCPMP) the clock also goes back to normal.

Anybody have an idea how to resolve these issues?

Thanks

[optical]

So, is that means it will run OC all the time w/o any hacks?

Can you direct me which rom to use for this if I have an US MDA?

I am so confused with so many names for this thing. Thanks.

Smartkey.

This app activates omapclock and reactivates it from sleep!
Besides that it adds extra functionality to your softbuttons.

Thank you so much for sharing this. This App is awesome! So easy to use and install. I came from Treo and not able to use the mda using one hand was my biggest gripe. The other is the speed. Now hopefully omapclock won't kill my phone then I will be a happy camper. =)

Just a confirmation...

OMAPclock.exe works well on the qtek 8310 as well.

You guys are amazing! Don't know what we would do without you.

Running OMAP - 240 MHz, is the highest stable setting for the 8310 I seemed to be able to achieve. After that the phone just freezes and reboots.

This application is simply a must for TI OMAP based phones (since 200MHz is just a bit on the slow side of things). It speeds up the phone a good bit....

NICE :wink:

[rreinink]

I can reach a (stable) speed of up to 288 (at least, thats what it says in the shortcut, TCPMP says 270Mhz)

Is this bad, can I damage my Qtek like this?
---------------------------------------------------

Well, 288 wasn't stable all the times, I'm trying 276MHz now...

[roozbeh]

well i know unfortunatly the only one in earth with smartphone 2002 is me.
but becouse this program is compiled with evc4 it doesnt run on my phone.
i am pretty sure it does work.
is sources released or developer around.he just need to use a linker option and make it 2002 compatible.!

[jamiechang]

Works on my T-Mobile MDA...I can OC at 240...but the battary runs out fast....now I set as 228....no problem...

[tedya]

When I overclock using OmapClock, my MDA has all sorts of hang ups and crashes. The fastest I have ever set it to was 216. How is everybody else getting stability when overclocking?

[Kimld]

Official maximum for our processor is 200 MHz. That's why its overclocking is a lottery (sometimes a ruffle). Some people have it working stable at 270 MHz, others bite the dust at 210 MHz. The Wizard of mine goes to a white screen and restarts at 240 MHz occasionally.

Some advanced geeks dissassemble their devices and add an extra cooling to overclock it even higher. In addition it would be nice to find a way to increase the CPU voltage +0.1v when you really need it.

I use overclocking for the Skype only.

[rchouk]

Hi I tried to modify the shortcut on my qtek s200 only to make omapclock run with skype.

So I used totalcommander for that.

I changed the shortcut \windows\startmenu\programs\skype.ink to

\...\omapclock.exe -clock 240 - launch \...\skype.exe - restore

but it didn't work

I also tried

"\...\omapclock.exe" -clock 240 - launch \...\skype.exe - restore

and it is still not working....

I someone can help me...
thanks

[supershisa]

Seems I'm in the same boat as a few others. I can set up the shortcut with no problem, but as soon as I reset, the device "forgets" to reload it.

How about this one? :)

"\...\omapclock.exe" -clock 240 -launch "\...\skype.exe" -restore

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.

[roozbeh]

Really thanks for your effort.
It said:
"Initialization failed.
Reason : can't map I/O"

So is there still any hopes.

Yes, be sure what you already unlock your phone via SDA Application Unlock util. See details about this somewhere in this topic.

P.S. Don't forget report results here or directly to me via PM, please.

I am also trying to get omapclock to only open when I run Skype.
I followed Kimld idea

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

This works great to launch Skype and Omapclock at my optimum speed of 264 MHz. However when I turn off Skype the speed remains at 264.
How can I get it return to its default speed of 180. I am conserned about the battery issues previousluy raised in this thread. I am using Resco to do the shortcut things

Please be kind if I'm doing something obvoiusly wrong I am new to all of this and this is my first contact to any forum

[roozbeh]

well thanks it worked.
I thought becouse i could debug applications on my device it was unlock.
but after unlocking it worked.
i tested upto 156.and it worked.
i did benchmark with tcpmp and it showed a significant increase so i think it is working.

the original speed of device was 120.

although there is a problem with combobox so you can not see the number there.

[Kimld]

However when I turn off Skype the speed remains at 264...

"Turn off" means just clicked CLOSE button or fair QUIT?
I thought "-restore" waits for the real quit.

Yes, OmapClock waits while launched program's process is terminated and THEN restore previous clock.

[Nick Felix]

Thanks Kimld and Intruders.

I am using MagicButton to "turn off" Skype so am assuming that this actually terminates the programme.

But anyway I think the problem was just the way I was monitoring the clock speed. I was leaveing Omapclock open and terminating Skype then looking at Omapclock to check the speed. If I terminate Omaclock then terminate Skype then open Omapclock again, to check, the speed shows back to 180 default. :oops:

Anyway thanks again. This has proved one of the most useful sites I have ever seen on the web :D

Hi!
I been browsing the forum looking for an overclocking solutions for my Qtek 8310. The problem that I run in to when trying to use the Omapclock v0.2 is that I get the error message "Can't map I/O".
The phone is app un-locked and are running other un-signed applications with no problem at all

Hey guys,

I am new to all of this. Just got my Qtek S200. I am interested in overclocking it for a little more speed. I installed the Omapoverclock file and overclocked it to 240. Runs nice and fast.

My question is how can I keep it running at this speed. I read that it resets after a while.

Thanks!!!

use Smartskey from Water

Thanks Rrryan!

I am really new to this, but heard that smartkey is a good way to get teh omapclock to run all the time after wake up?

I have repeatedly tired to follow the instructions on how to install the smartkey files but it doesnt work for the overclock. I created a file in program files and put the omapclock file in there with the smartkey files.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Did you set the .ini file so that OMAPCLOCK=220 (or whatever)? That is, you need to remove the ";" in front of that line, otherwise it doesn't execute. Use notepad... You might want to explore other settings as well. Check the first post in that thread for directions.

[PPCPassion]

I did exactly what you just described but still it did not work. part of the problem (I think) is even when you use notebad on the PC to edit INI file and save as txt file in UNICODE, something happens during transfer from PC to Smartphone. I have unselected conversion in activesync setting, have tried to transfer file using IR and bluetooth but w/o any success. Once the INI file is transfrd to smartphone and I try to open with smartphone notepad (wordpad and Orneta pad), all I see are 2 letters "Y and b"????? I have edited numerous files in the past with this method and never had this issue before but I must be doing something wrong or missing a bigger picture here. Thanks .

[JamesManios]

Someone I know had the Prophet overclocked to 252 and his battery also died??

For the people running speeds of 252 or higher how long have you been running the device at that speed? Have any other peoples batteries died?

I know OCing really shouldn't hurt the battery, (I have overclocked every other PDA I had) but 3 people on this forum already all experiencing this? Isn't that a little strange?

[thelazydogsback]

It looks like there are plenty of people (myself included) that would be willing to pay for a polished app. ($30?) Especially if it monitored running applications and had optons to change the speed based on (a) running programs or (b) the foreground program - that let you pick a speed for each program. (And had a base slower speed as well if none of the listed programs are shown.) Just list all the installed apps and you put two Mhz spinners next to each one (for foreground and background), and Bob's your uncle!

BTW, I've had no problems up to 264Mhz. (The only hang I've had is *lowering* the speed to 132Mhz.)

thanks,
m

[Kanjibankers]

Agreed! I would pay for one as well. That would be fantastic!

[JNGold]

Yeah some time ago, Anton Tomov (Pocket Hackmaster) was supposedly working on a version for the OMAP. I don't know what happened to the development.

[thugsouljah723]

hi, been reading the forums for a while. i tried to overclock my cingular 8125, but i have not been successful at all. whenever i try to do this:

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 240
Change the 240 to the clock speed you tested in step 2 above.

after i reset it, it is not there anymore. someone please help me? on top of that, i have 4 omap icons. they are duplicates, cant be opened and cant be deleted. how do i delete them? is there a step by step instructions for this? help a newbie out. love the forum. thanks in advance.

[pewe]

Does anyone know how to create a shortcut for this which opens skype and uses the skype icon rather than the Omapclock one.

Alternatively, I have modified the icon in the programme to create a new version just for skpe to show the correct icon, but the change means it requires digital signing again - can anyone do this for me or tell me how its done?

[thelazydogsback]

> Does anyone know how to create a shortcut for this which opens skype and uses the skype icon rather than the Omapclock one.

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.

(The forum should have the ability to mark certain posts as "best practicies" or something - or at least be able to see the whole topic without page breaking. Anyone know if there's a POST arg that will allow 9999 articles per page or something?)

thanks
