Hi guys,

I wanted to overclock my Elf, but I don't found an usefull tool. I've tested HomePlus (aka Battery Status), but there is no config - and I don't need any HomePlus (I used Onyx with M2D ;-)).

Is there an other good tool to overclock?

Have fun,
MCXSC

I would recommend you to forget this! The elf is not good for overclocking!

I use HomePlus and my Elf is clocked at 312Mhz without problems.

Search the HomePlus at www.softpedia.com

After many attempts I can only overclock my Touch to 234Mhz without encountering any lockups. Good job to the rest of you, getting the better CPU's off the assembly line.

To all people having problems OC'ing, try a higher speed. My elfin crashed when I OC'd to 247. Now I've set it to 273, and it works fine. Weird. I've also turned off CPUScaler because it goes to 247 and some unstable frequencies sometimes.

It runs GREAT. Rock-solid, and beautifully smooth.

Edit: Stress-tested successfully by running a TCPMP benchmark on a full-length movie, leaving it two inches behind my laptop vent. I call it the 'Tropical stresstest'.

htedum or anyone else overclocking past 250Mhz, I'm wondering doesn't it take a toll on battery life. I tend to read lots of books on my Touch and with the scaler on it throttles down to 143Mhz during page reading, and I find that helps keep the battery fresh since it not clocked high constantly.

How dramatically does the battery life get influenced with the Touch clocked so high?

I think I don't have any problem with overclocking the Touch (BatteryStatus) when working on battery (it only crashes occasionally), but the Touch turns it self off completely or hangs quite often when I connect it to the PC. So in order to avoid the crash, I always have to remember to turn off the overclocking mode before plug it in my PC, which I usually don't, and then it crashed

Did anyone experience the same problem ? I'm about to give up the overclocking thing, even though I'm not really satisfied with the performance of the Touch.

Safe overclocking speed.

Can anyone please help me in letting me know the safe overclocking speed for Elf.
Or is it that we have to just try new nos and check?

a touch (elf) that overclocks from 201MHz to 624MHz is just plain BS!
max has always been 312MHz and not for everyone.
safe option is 234 or 247MHz.
I personally underclock at 87MHz and scale up to 260MHz when using GPS.

What about using OmapClock 0.2? I've been using this software quite a long time.. It did not giving me any problem. Normally,i'll clocked it to 260mhz. Stable and fast.. But this software has a bug is that the clock will gone once you switch your phone to sleep mode. When you turn it back on, it will go back to 201mhz. I've settle the problem by bundle with Memmaid software. Puting a shortcut in to memmaid's notification queue and it will continue to clock at 260mhz when the phone wake up. First, you have to create a shortcut by using notepad and wrote :

40#"\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 260

Save it to exactly "OmapClock.lnk" then put it into My Device/Windows/start menu, next using memmaid add 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 everytime you switch back on your phone.
Will the phone still running at 260mhz when it sleeping? NO, don't ask this question again.

Cheer, MD.

Try OmapClockPlus. It's OmapClock extension which fixes your problem.
