Hi all,

I would like to know if anyone of you has already overclocked their beloved HTC Touch.

If yes, would you please post some screen captures of your Xcpuscalar configuration? (If I set it >220, my Touch reboot after a few seconds of use)

Which solution is the most reliable? XCPUScalar or OMAPClock?

Thanks a lot!

I am using xscalcpu w/o problems so far. i think mine is clocked to 400mhz and no problems so far (which means in the last 2 hours).

heya cyrilp,

would suggest you use batterystatus (link above), where you can easily set it to wakeup at the choice of speed.

if you're just using teh omapclock.exe then you'll have to insert wakeup @ speed in notifications.

on my today's screen battery status instead of 260 MHz shown 60 MHz , on yours ?

Mine dispalyed 60 also till I realise it is the text size as there is a service provider overlapping cpu speed

Is it dangerous overclocking the Touch?
And do you notice any major improvement?

maxoueb

24th June 2007, 04:37 AM

Actually I've noticed that if I overclock my Touch > 247MHz (with BatteryStatus), I'll have some sort of "stripes" visible on the 3D Cube background.

Am I alone with this?

How come your Touch is still stable at 286Mhz?!
As soon as I overclock mine >247Mhz, I got "stripes" and if I overclock more, the device reboot by itself...

Would you please post a screen capture of your device showing this speed?
Which program do you actually use to get this speed? (Battery status or other?)

Thanks for sharing.

I am using battery status - I am clocking it at 286mhz with no problem.

Overclocking is not an exact science and its really dependent on the purity of the processor chip. Every single processor chip has to a certain extend inpurity thus overclocking them give different results.

The safest option is overclock gradually - using a clock speed for a day and increasing it progressively. If you see the strip or error appearing across the screen at certain speed - be sure to underclock and reset it. That is the sign that your processor is at the edge/limit already.

There are some safe setting you can try on battery status -

1) Enable "Overclock on Wakeup"
2) Enable "Remember last CPUSpeed"
3) Disable "Overclock after reboot"

Setting (3) - This is the ensure if the speed set is unstable, at least you can reset to correct it. Surely, you do not want to brick your device...

Thanks a lot for this long explanation.
I'm really surprised that mine gave "stripes" on the screen at 247Mhz and yours work well at 286Mhz... (I also used Battery Status). I guess I'll have to buy a new Touch to enjoy these speeds.

I am using BatteryStatus plugin. I tried xpuscaler but like what you said, it keep on rebooting. Sorry I don't know how to do a screen capture. I am a Palm user for 7 years.

27th June 2007, 04:32 PM

Hi Guys,

do you have any screenshot or description of the strips you guys mentioning?
I am using batterystatus for overclocking too. And I had set to 299MHz and it seems fine. I had tried 312MHz too and it works fine for a while but hang once which I try set it to 312MHz after it wake up from sleep at 201MHz.

So now I set to 299MHz n see if I got any problem but so far so good.
I'm surprise to see many ppl unable to clock up to the speed I'm tried with my elf since mine like working fine. Wonder am i doing correctly or not.

Anyone enabled the CpuScaler? What is it for?

QuadDamage

28th June 2007, 08:38 AM

Mine also does 299Mhz stable, im thinking its a newer patch that can clock better.
For people who cant go too high, use sk-tools to benchmark & stress the cpu (any looping?) after a couple of days. try going higher.

With a bit of luck these might reach 350Mhz (Hopefully)

P.S: I still feel like this device is a little slow.Maybe beside overclocking we need some good tweaks.

time will tell.

Hi,
mine was stable all day @ 312, 299, no strips, hangs, resets ... The only thing is that battery last way to less than @ 201. Actually, I didn't notice any difference in battery life when I was 2 days at 201 HMz and then 2 days @ 247. Freq. 260MHz looks like about 10% more energy consuming. But that can be solved by using CPUScaller. Actually, I set it up between 99MHz - 247, with short time boost to 260 and after 2days I noticed a little increase in standby time. Btw mine wont go lower than 99, dunno why is that.
Also, maybe we don't have the right applications, 'cause @ normally use, there is no visible difference when set to 260 or 312MHz. I guess @ that speed there is another "hardware" holding it back, like RAM/ROM acces speed, radio, WiFi, graphic hardware (part of CPU?) etc.

One more thing. What is buggin' me a lot is the horrible display, no way to read anything on direct sunlight. It's my first WM, I was always Symbian guy and still using both, but never saw anything like this (of course - that has nothing to do with the OS). So, is there any way to remap say camera hard button to dual function like press one time for display backlight increase, hold 4 voice recorder (witch I'm usin' as a phone call recorder) ?

It's an "option" or better "different workin' mode" in Battery status. Check On the CpuScaller in main menu, then setup your desired frequencies in "Option" - top row in Battery status's main menu. On the bottom tabs move to the right all the way to Cpu Scaller and start play with it. Your goal is activate something like dynamic CPU frequencies changes, when CPU is force to slow down if U don't need it and boost it up when "hungry" application ask for it. By doing that you are being "nice" to your CPU to let it cool down and save a little bit of energy (Tech geeks will probably shoot me for the way I'm trying to explain it to you).

Johannus

3rd July 2007, 06:08 PM

can't find the cpuscaler anywhere in the mainmenu, can you tell me exactly where to find it?

4th July 2007, 02:53 AM

I'm usin' BatteryStatusToday-Plugin, ver.1.04.203 beta 4, build 0219. Dunno about older ones, but this one has menu like this,from the top : Options/Show Rows/Set CPUspeed/CpuScaller/OnWakeup/Set Last Speed/Device Lock/TaskBar Indicator etc etc.

I am not sure if I have already broken my device. I overclocked it to 273, or there about, but I did not "Disable after reboot". It then kept rebooting - and I can never stop it in time by going to the setting or program. After several re-boots, it shows an error message, saying the device cannot start up due to sudden loss of power. Do you want to continue - click yes or no. It also gives a note - do not remove battery until it is completely shutdown (OFF).

Unfortunately, there is no response on the Yes and No buttons. Any idea how I can remove the overclocking software now?

14th August 2007, 04:31 PM

I've just installed the battery stat program and things seem to be working fine. Main program an I using to test the speed difference is PocketSNES. Without overclocking, it was almost impossible to play any games on it. I've tried all the speed settings and they have all worked fine with no crashing, but I noticed at the two highest speeds I get a mixture of colors on lines in programs which should be black.

I have been using Battery Status since I got this phone. I have it overclocked to
247 and with a speed boost at 260. It rests at 143 and I am good with that.

I don't keep phones long so I am not too worried about the wear it puts on the phone. If it was 3g then I would need something over 300 but its not....

TeeT

16th August 2007, 09:32 PM

I use Omap also.
Got my Touch at 260 and runs without any problems.

I read somewhere there is a small calculation error is this prog.
Seems that 260 in reality is 284 MHZ but due to an (algorithm) error it indicates less than it runs.

Greetz and enjoy your Touch.

CJSIMPSON

22nd August 2007, 09:00 PM

I have just installed batterystatus and I also have mine set at 143 idle 247 normal boost 260 but only because I have seen it here. Has anyone done any extensive testing/benchmarking to see what benefits it does give as it does feel a bit snappier when in menus and loading cube.

I am also curious about the idle setting, I have it at 143 but what is the devices own rest setting does anyone know or does it stay at 201 normally. If so by reducing it to 143 will this have any effect on phone calls coming in?

1 final point is on battery life, what are people getting with their settings and use. I want to strike a balance between battery life and performance. are my settings ok for this.

Grunt

23rd August 2007, 02:59 AM

Reading through sounds like most are having good sucess.

Mine is OC to 247 for 2 days with Battery Status with no problem...I am going to move up to 260 next and let it sit there for a while...lets see

Very reasonable question.

I have just installed SPB Benchmark and I am running the Main Suite of tests at 201 mhz as I write this post.....I will then give it a go at 247mhz and let you know the results.

Lunch break is in between so give me a couple of hours......

;-)

Grunt

23rd August 2007, 07:21 AM

OK...so here it is....Spb Benchmark....201mhz vs 260mhz.

I used only the Main 'Misc' test to save on time and as it is focused in the cpu performance (not the "File System', Built in Apps' & 'Graphics'). As you would hope the overall result indicates about a 30% increase in performace.

enja

23rd August 2007, 08:50 AM

Ah, should the o/c still work just that the information in "Device Information" didn't change...

Hey guys, i'm using batterystatus cpuscaler, rest at 99 mHz, and boost upto 299 mHz. Works perfect until now (2,5 weeks). Batterylife a bit shorter, but good enough for me, have to recharge after 3 days.

Add me to the list of users happy at 286 mhz. Seems stable after a day of use. Just as fast as my Trinity with equal or better battery life.

overclocked at 299 and works fine since day 1 (1-aug-2007)
shows battery bar (depletes faster due to O/C), Singtel (Operator), OC speed 299Mhz, reception satelite icon, 16.5 M temperature is always around 36 C and the hottest was 43C and the power loss,
i dun really know whats the deal with the power loss though

josealb

3rd September 2007, 11:06 AM

I guess @ that speed there is another "hardware" holding it back, like RAM/ROM acces speed, radio, WiFi, graphic hardware (part of CPU?) etc.

Well I never OCed a PPC but when overclocking PCs and graphics cards its very important to overclock the RAM too I guess its quite similar with this kind of devices

So is it safe to overclock the Touch to 299 Mhz? It looks like a little too much difference from the default settings. Anyone bricked it?

And how does this CPUScaller work? :eek:
is it intergate together with Battery Status??? :eek:

are there any reasons (i.e. in some particular situations) to prefer storage then storage card to location of software?

With a storage card there is a slight delay on wakeup. With apps that need to display information quickly (ie Today screen apps and some system apps) this can cause issue. As a rule of thumb all apps with an active today plugin should go on the main storage and system apps like batterystatus that interact with the system hardware all the time should also go there.

Activate the Error Reporting in your phone Settings to see if a process hangs when your Touch is Overclocked, maybe that is the problem, If your Error Reporting setting is set to off you can't see if something is doing wrong and Windows restart the service and everything takes more time when restaring the service. I don't know if this is your case but something like this was happening to me some weeks ago, the file shel32.dll was crashing sometimes making slow all the phone in the process.

I was able to overclock my touch to 278MHz without any problems, On lower frequencies I saw some stripes like interlaced picture or something, but when I overclocked even more stripes disapeared, 278 is my limit. I can't download batery status program because page is down, and I can't find alternative download so my clock speed restores when after wakeup. I would like to have some today plugin for easy overclock and underclock ;-)
50% more MHz gives me 50% more framerate while watching movie, so it really works.

managed to overclock mine to 299 without any problem for 2 days so far, been installing programs taking lots of photos or basically stressing it out to see if it holds.

does anyone know any symptomps that i should look out for ? otherthan the obvious brick issue :P

I did the same, I clocked it to 299 Mhz. Left it there for 1.5 days, but I accidentaly forgot the cpuscaler. Nou I have a dark spot somewhere right-below the middle.

I guess garantuee is not an option :(

Little question, I just dl build 203 but in menus I have no CpuScaler tab...
Only:
General
Indicator
Tools
Omap
CallTime
About.

Do you know why? :confused:

Yep, I found it and I can overclock it.
But I would like to configure CPU Scaler to tell my Touch to underclock to 99Mhz when not used. ;)

You are welcome. I just Googled battery status and voila! :)

I use 143, 201, 247.. And boost to 273mhz.. Dont know if it's optimal, but a bit on the safer side I guess..

dakkush

13th January 2008, 01:17 AM

I overclocked it to 312 and it restarted but when it turns on it shuts down before I can lower it to its original
help!!!!

How come your Touch is still stable at 286Mhz?!
As soon as I overclock mine >247Mhz, I got "stripes" and if I overclock more, the device reboot by itself...

Would you please post a screen capture of your device showing this speed?
Which program do you actually use to get this speed? (Battery status or other?)

Thanks for sharing.

If you just want to overclock without too many hassles you can also try
XcpuScalar 3.03

Its a nice little app

But it reboots itself.
as suggested enabled wake up .. and remember last .. and disabled after reboot ...

any suggestion..

Batterystatus is not compatible with the 128mb ram version of HTC Touch. Offcours you can use it for all other options buth not the overclock option.

Warning- Do NOT install this app on HTC SPRINT (US) Touch- it will brick your phone....

:edit:
(Battery Status 1.04)

:(

::re-edit::
ok, almost bricked, still use at your own risk!

I was able to get into my device after 7 (yes 7) soft reset attempts, some w/ activesync, some without (note w/ activesync my PC actually dropped IP on soft reset, i have no idea how this happened but it pissed me off to no end as I was working...) anyway to get it to come to life again (it would boot to today, but no buttons worked, clock was updated w/ correct time, could not receive phone calls, could not soft off)
i had to remove SD card (app was installed locally... not sure why this helped) and I actually gave up and attempted a HARD reset- it failed (didn't prompt for hard reset) just brought me into today, as it was loading i kept holding down my two hardware buttons, and hit the camera button too, just for fun, well it launched camera, i closed that, and was able to get into settings and remove the app, i have no idea why this worked, and if i was a holy man i'd be thanking someone upstairs from saving me a full rebuild...

Hey guys. First of all, sorry for beeing so ignorent ;)
I'm thinking of overclocking my HTC Touch.
So i have a few questions about it.

- Is it safe to overclock your mobile?

- Which program should i use?

- How much overclocking do you recommend?

If you got any other knowledge, that i should know - please tell me ;)

Thanks!

- As long you dont overclock to much it's all fine

- Batterystatus (you can find here on forum)

- 247 is most used here. The max safe is 260 mhz, everything above can damage your device and will decrease your batterylife.

Ahc2008

19th January 2008, 07:53 PM

- Can i you see major changes, after overclocking?

That is why I did try another program called XCPUSCALAR.

But, program behaves strange...
do not shove overclocking percentages or Mhz, but only underclocking..

If anyone uses the same program and receives the same result, let s share here..

20th January 2008, 09:04 PM

I've been using the batteryStatus program to overclock at 247 for a couple of weeks now with no problems. I have the Rogers (gsm) version of the Touch. I initially chose a lower overclock and then stepped up to 247. Yes, I am a little hesitant to push further, buts still, it all works fine for me.

I've used 247MHz on mine since day one (Rogers enh version). I was stable at 273 but noticed an increase in Battery drainage, so just went back to 247.

Anybody notice a problem with the cube when you have BatteryStatus installed?

I have the 201Mhz (rogers) touch and when I installed BatteryStatus I noticed when you bring up the HTC cube and move from one side to the other the cube will shutdown itself. I tried with overclocking and without, same result.
When I remove BatteryStatus the cube behaves normally. I really want to overclock my phone.

Anybody else experienced this problem?

Hello everyone!

I have one question. I just keep on seeing 247 , 260 , 273, 299, and 312. Howcome its always these numbers? Whats the technical reasoning behind it? When you put the original speed of 201, do you HAVE TO choose those above mentioned numbers for overclocking?

Has anybody noticed some slight flicker on the Today screen and KeyPad screen?

It only happens sometimes and this is with OverClocking turned ON or OFF. When I quit BatteryStatus, no more flicker. And I have the latest build 0266

I got this problem when the CPU was about 100 Mhz, when using the "CPU Scaler" feature (min. 100Mhz, Org. 201Mhz, Max. 286Mhz).

Now the Minimum value is set to 149Mhz, no flicker

Works fine on mine Elfin (Rogers). Wondering why theres so much discrepancy. But it does work wonders.

The "add boost" option must be disabled since strange behaviours occur...

Same here, if I turn on 'add boost' it'll freeze from time to time. So as of now its off and I'm happy at 247mhz.

ikarus

23rd January 2008, 12:50 AM

which one?
this one ; -BatteryStatusExt.1.04.build_0266.CAB

or this one; -BatteryStatusExt.1.04.UPXed.build_0266.CAB
the UPXed version is a compressed version and i recommend to use the normal version (not UPXed).

first of all: don't be lazy and read the online-manual or at least the online-faq. There you can learn that BS disables itself by some softresets and other methods.. this will prevent hardresets ;)

Also it seems that some of the enhanced elfins are different, but i'm a student and i can't afford such a device for development. Moreover i guess my provider o2 will refuse to donate me such a device for development :rolleyes:

so if overclocking doesn't work -> i can recommend omapclock.exe by intruders, which is really a great tool ;)
particularly in combination with the tool omapclockplus of meshle
google for it or search this forum...

btw. don't use taskbar-related functions like taskmanager in combination with taskbar-applications like wktask, quickmenu or so.. it can definately lead to an unstable system.

so far, some information for those don't read the prophet-forums...

23rd January 2008, 09:49 PM

Just to let you all know, Using HTC Touch Spring version, this program does freeze your phone when selecting "Show CPU Speed". Soft-resets do not help either, the only option for me was to hard reset my phone. I also tried every version of Battery Status with the same results. Also note that there is no option to click OMAP, so the moral of my post is - If your using the Sprint Touch, this program is not for you

Too bad though, looks like a great program for everyone else !

Jamolah

I got this problem when the CPU was about 100 Mhz, when using the "CPU Scaler" feature (min. 100Mhz, Org. 201Mhz, Max. 286Mhz).

Now the Minimum value is set to 149Mhz, no flicker

booterr, thanks a lot man this solved my problem. I played around the CPU scaler tried different values for the min and anything below 149 causes the phone to flicker in phone mode or on the today screen.

Thanks again man.

Just a question, is the flicker a sign of something bad?

Jamolah

24th January 2008, 03:38 PM

No the flicker means that the video output gets generated on the same clock as the normal setting u give your touch. video refresh gets slowed down hence the flicker.
incidentally, the flicker also disappears whenever the touch goes from low freq. to high freq.

Im running on 87/201/247 MHz at the moment.

nmesisca did you notice any flicker with a setting as low as 87Mhz?

Maybe I'll go back to 100 mhz for my min CPU setting. As long as I'm assured it's not damaging anything.

thanks.

nmesisca

24th January 2008, 03:55 PM

Yes, of course it does flicker at 87MHz, but wont damage anything (and offers a decent advantage battery-wise).
However, underclocking and overclocking have similar risks involved, as reliability of the system could get impaired.
As usual, try the setting that works best for your device. If the setting is too low, or too high, you may experience system lockups; underclocking tho, does not involve the risk of burning your cpu contrarily to overclocking..

Hope this clarifies.

hachisix

25th January 2008, 09:24 AM

^^^ if your system is stable then its fine.

I have a question: Do I have to wait till my CPU throttles down to my "min" before I turn it off? I'm curious that if I don't it will run at the higher CPU speed when I turn it off.

But is this true, when you power off it puts the CPU to sleep so my concern is actually a non-issue?

nmesisca

25th January 2008, 11:20 AM

The cpu will go in low freq. when the workload allows it.
Processes get executed also when the screen is off, so your cpu can throttle at that stage too.
However it is less likely of that happening because some parts of the device may go in powersaving mode, hence dont need to be managed.
After a while that the device is on sleep, it will go down to the min. setting you've set.

Hi everybody,

Im quite a noob in Overclocking and this is my first HTC Touch phone,
anyway, i tried Overclocking my HTC to different setting, but the most I could get is only 247, when i go to 260 it restarts, and I have to soft reset to turn it on again, Anyway, This might help in choosing the rate, Ive tried VSBenchmark 2007 to benchmark the different OC speed.

201Mhz 247 Mhz CPU Scaler(Min142max247boost 260
Graphics 1,015 1,294 1,015
Others 1,432 1,860 1,507

Games 1,001 1,409 1,409
Sound 1,004 684 684
Overall 1,089 1,325 1,256

Im quite confused though with the result in sound, cause 201 yields higher compared to 247 and CPU Scaled

There are stories going around that
1) XCPUSCALAR sometimes just says it's o/c but the real mhz isn't changed
2) PHM or XCPUSCALAR uses more battery monitoring vs just running at max CPU all the time

There is no 128/64mb Rogers version. They are all the 128ram/256rom versions.
Anyway, I was running at 273 stable, then due to battery drainage, decided to keep it at 247, but now have it at 260MHz, all stable.

i am an idiot.

I installed the stable release of Battery Status, and it worked fine. Then all i did was enabled the cpu MHZ display on the home screen. It made my phone freeze, when i do a soft reset it boots up and is frozen right away. This is my fault for not reading, because i have a sprint touch (Qualcomm MSM 7500 400 MHZ proc), and battery status is for omap processors.

How can I fix my phone without a hard reset? (i don't want to loose my contacts)

after 8 soft resets it somehow unchecked battery status and didn't load it, which allowed me to uninstall it :P

Hi there,

on my Touch i use BatteryStatus (www.chi-tai.info) ver. 1.04.203 Build 0266 and it works like a charm for me. My batterylife went from just 1 day to 3 days with the Cpuscaler. Cpuscaler settings:

min 112 Mhz
org 201 Mhz
max 247 Mhz

and i have some progs Aplication Based Overclock;
Pocketmusic 156 Mhz (if i use the phone as a walkman)
Bubblebreaker 175 Mhz (my son's favorite)

One thing i noticed that my ProgramMemory is a bit low since i installed BatteryStatus, it's a 12/15 MB at startup, but after a few hours it is around 6/7 Mb. Used the older batterystatus before (without the nice extras it now has) and it used far less memory....
But no problems using my phone (calling, Opera, TomTom) and the batterylife profit makes it good for me (now i can take my phone with me for the weekend without charging).

Nice work on the batterystatus program Ikarus!!!!:D

If I try, screen goes crazy. Funny, one of every 10 times I try, it is working ok.

So I just don`t bother anymore.

Hey Mike, nice to see you on xda instead of howard. Anyways, its the 1.05 ext. I used the 1.04 ext also. Didnt notice a difference really. I found good seetings for battery conservation and good settings for hard core use.

Battery conserve: 100/201/201 boost to 221
Hard use: 175/201/247 boost to 260 (sometimes it shuts down on boost, unpredictable)

I've tried it with both the original rom and the shadow 2.1 TE. Glad it's working for you. I just did a clean hard reset, so I'm not wanting to try it again just yet but likely will before my next flash/hard reset. Thanks

With the stock ROM (Dutch, don't know the version) overclocking went fine up to 247 MHz, after that it would lock up. Now using Shadow 2.1 CE and running 286 with boost to 299 without a problem. Woohoo. :D

tried 312, but phone hangs, and on one occasion phone hard reset itself. 299 works perfect.

Yeah a lot of the elfins (128/256) or rogers like yours don't like being overclocked a lot if any at all. My phone hangs at 247 - stable at 234. Though others have clocked beyond 247 on their rogers Touch.

286 MHz stable here, consumption around 550Mw when performing minor tasks
335 MHz freezes after 1-2 minutes of watching video, browsing net, sometimes it evens ends up, that i have to do a HR, but so far i can set CPUScalar to min 201, max 286 and boost 335 - that works fantastically, but the battery consuption is like 40% bigger

I can run my Rogers Elfin stable at 247mhz. When I tried 260mhz it reset on me right away so I don't think I'll ever try that again lol.

Funny thing is my chip seems to have become "purer" after I had to a hard reset today. I've been running many programs and many tasks at the same time at 260mhz with no problems at all as of today.

I had done a hard reset a month back and I still couldn't run past 234mhz. But after my second hard restart which happened today, I'm stable at 260mhz. Kind of weird but I can't complain.

UPDATE:

So somehow my phone ran stable at 299mhz now!! It reboot at 312mhz though. Any explanation to that? I'm not complaining but I'm curious to know as to why I can overclock much more than before after the 2nd hard reset?

I don't know if anyone else has seen this.

I've tried overclocking using BattStatus and am able to get to 231MHz with no stability issues, and burst settings set to a max of 247MHz.

However after awhile at these settings, I notice that my EDGE connection doesnt work and whats funnier is that I can no longer see the overclocking tab in Battstatus. I need to do a soft reset before I'm able to see the missing tab.

Has anyone else experience this?

23rd April 2008, 07:53 PM

Well, not much luck with overclocking here ... I had it set to 134/200/247 and all was working well for a while, until I got on a call, then midway through the call the phone just reseted, and everytime it got to the today menu it reseted again, for 6-7 times in a row until I got a chance to disable overclock (strange, I already had "Overclock on reboot" unchecked, it still overclocked after a reset!!)

So now I'm trying a 'milder' 221MHz instead and see if I have better luck. My biggest goal actually isn't so much to "OC" the device, as I don't play games on it and most of the applications are fast enough. The only program I can really feel the lack of speed is iGuidance, but for that, a lot of time is used in accessing huge data on the SD card, so OCing the CPU didn't help neither.

I'm actually more interested in UNDERclocking the device to extend battery life ... currently I set the min to 134. What's the lowest you guys have gone at without problems?

Vector-SS

23rd April 2008, 08:01 PM

I actually went back down to 234/247 as well. Battery consumption is greatly increased once your at 260+ So I will overclock to those numbers when nrnnning Navigon 6 or something along the likes.

Try flashing to the new Light ROM 3.1 Black edidtion, then use pagepool switcher to set to 16mb - I'm running at a standard 195mhz, and it's faster than any rom I've ever run overclocked on my elfin!

GSM's cpu: 201MHz
CDMA's cpu: 400MHz

was not going to risk it at full!! lol! but it runns like a dream now!! also using the spd Mobile shell and spd plus!! it all works perfectly at 312
but i put it at 299 just to be safe though!!

You have got Vogue, not Elf - they have similiar look but running on different processors - Vogue has got Qualcomm @ 400 MHz and it cannot be overclocked. And Vogue is CDMA phone, not GSM.

Hi folks,
I bought my touch around April 2007 (should be from first generation in France). It is running Blue Elves V5.0.
My Touch can be set up to 299MHz without any trouble. Above, it crashes. I usually run it at 286MHz, the battery lifetime is about the same, may be a wee shorter. TCPMP says the clock speed runs at 250MHz (set to 286Mhz with BS).
BS is a really good soft , It gives a good boost to this phone which has an obvious lack of speed.
I don't know if it's relevant but I tried to lunch the HTC Audio Manager. At 201MHz, it needs 8-9sec to open. At 286MHz, It needs only 3-4sec. Because It's not an accurate way to check the gain, I would say I gain 30-40% of speed by setting it to 286MHz.
Hope, my experiment will be usefull in a way for somebody.
See ya

Out of a fe other HTC devices i have had the Touch CPU looks less stable and giving different results on different devices.

247 is the safest, 286 is do-able if you can live with the occasional freze once in a while 299 and your phone app will freeze or WMP will skip songs after 10 seconds.

Anything between 247 and 273 is stable on my device.

i tried mine at 299.. seems fine the WMP.. no skip song..

Just now i try active 312mhz.. it didnt restart.. but i see some color strip at 299mhz.. :(

While playing song using WMP.. i set speed to 260mhz.. the PocketCM freeze.. unable to quit and need soft reset :(

I managed with the tai Chi Battery Plugin OMAP Overcloc application to speed my Touch up to more than 280 Mhz and it ran stable.

However, the power drain and my fear of an overheating and damage was to great, so I am using the CPU Scaler which I find most practical!
