OMAPCLOCK problem

Hi there, Im using omap clock and it works fine on the whole. However, when I overclock and leave it for a few hours (e.g. overnight), it reverts back to normal (186mhz) speeds without me changing any settings.
Any ideas on how to keep it at an overclocked state indefinitely??
Thanks guys!!

On 186 speed the battery consumption is minimal, and 186 is enough for all apllication, while watching movie it is better to use overclock up to 252 but always running on overclock may harmful for device. So there is an auto arrangement while device idle for long time, the clockspeed getback to recommended speed i.e. 186

Omapclock
Uhmmm i remember using OC on a kjam and that problem existed. I resolved this problem with using Memmaid that add an auto execute on wakeup.

ASUS P320 Running Windows 6.5.1 - Overclocking leads to battery drain

I have an ASUS P320, Running Windows 6.5.1.
(From here http://winmo.forumpro.eu/p320-f5/build-23085-chome-wwe-t71.htm)
Now I over-clocked the system with OMAPCLOCK - and was running it with 240 MHZ. The Wikipedia site is stating that the processor clock is 200 MHZ.
This Overclocking leads to battery drain - last night at 7:30 P.M it was at 63% - and today morning 9:00 a.m. I saw it was shutdown, that is out of battery. 2:00 A.M in the morning I went to sleep - it was not shutdown then - that means there should be 5% or so battery left then even more.
Any clue - O great Gurus? I set the clock frequency 204 MHZ now. Can you please tell me how to avoid battery drain - minimally with over-clocking?
Thanks a lot and anticipating reply.

nmondal, you should think twice before you start to overclock your OMAP. It is highly integrated processor and it will not work well if overclocked anyway. Sure the behaviour of you phone in overclock mode highly depends upon the revision of the CPU.
But I wanna tell you that 6.5 spoils the battery on your device much faster even without overclocking.
Besides - in some cases overclocking of your phone can cause non-working WiFi and even telephone module.
Another important thing - the OMAPCLOCK does not show the CPU frequency on your phone correctly - check the default meaning - is it 200? I suppose it's something like 186. So if you still want to overclock it - put 204 and it will be around 6-10% performance increase.
But as I told already - think twice before you do that.

Thanks folks
After I made the frequency to 204 MHZ - everything is fine.
Thanks for all the information - next time if I face any issues - I would refrain from overclocking. And yes - the default is 186 MHZ.

Your SetCPU setting(s)?

What scaling setting do you use, maybe you have custom profile?
I personally use 'ondemand', but I was thinking.... It would be nice to have a smart scaling setting, based on the amount the phone is used, screen brightness and the battery temperature, etc.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

Hi.
I've set mine at 576 max and left minimum at 245, scaling is on demand, and have set a profile for screen off at 245 for both. I've left the advanced screen as I don't have a clue what any of it means lol.

Non
Used it at first when got rooted. still on root BA23 firmware and im very happy with the current setup. I left the processor to operate the way it want to do.
Dont take me wrong, its a great software, everything is depends on overall apps you are running. and its unique to your phone, check its really necessary.
After-all we are talking about android, not windows.

I want to know the best setting also I had some custome profiles (after reading in a post on XDA) but phone got slow, laggy & sometimes call drop. Then i deleted all custome profiles

I had that problem once. But i think it is a OS bug than the SetCPU bug itself. You should re-root your fone and set profiles one more time. It will help you save a lot of battery
My setting (following someone on the net)
- Fully chage (AC/USB): 998/245
- Screenoff: Max: 348 Min: 245
- Battery <25%: Max: 348 Min: 245

Ok Dundun, I've set profiles again same as yours let's see how it workd

Just came across this thread for decent SetCPU setting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734886

Overclocking Our Touch Pro

As we know, overclocking MSM is possible now. Just check :

But the thread is over 1400 post & most of them are about blackstone, Rhodium, etc.. I think it's about time we make a thread about overclocking our Touch Pro(s)
I use GSM unbranded TP100 & TAEL v.5 ROM.
I'll start with my experience :
What Works
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. grab the v.2 file from the thread above. (1st page)
2. Install it to phone Memory.
3. Open the Msm7kCpuSpeed & You can see the current CPU speed in Real Time.
4. Whatever speed you select when on Battery Power, it will revert back to 528Mhz because of the Windows component that make sure the clock speed is 528 Mhz every (xx) second.
5. The only way you can overclock is when u plug your USB to Laptop / Stock Charger. Only then you can move the slider to any speed supported by your device.
6. Every device's speed are varied from the ROM used & quality of the MSM in your device. Try what speed are the best speed in your phone before it locks up. I use TAEL v.5 & I can achieve 768 Mhz in AC (original Charger / USB in Laptop/PC) on 787 i get random lockup
7. If you unplug your Raph from USB / Charger on ANY freq other than 604.8 Mhz, your raph will LOCK UP. So, when unplugging / pressing power button make sure u change the freq to 604 Mhz first. (604 Mhz is special Freq that don't Lockup our device)
8. A couple of seconds after we unplug our Raph in 604 Mhz freq it will revert back to 528 Mhz freq.
What almost works

From the explanation above we can use Overclock in Our Raph, but only when plugged into a charger / laptop / PC.

thread Qzytor in post 1191 found a way to overclock our MSM devices when using battery power. But in my experience, it ALWAYS lockup a few seconds after opening the phone dialer, coreplayer (playing video for a few second the lockup), SMS messaging, and Teeter (lockup when level up)
I'll write my experince using above method :
The method is : (Credit goes to Qzytor)
Code:
Install NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed V.2 App. in your Device
Install SetCpuSpeed v1.0d on SD card. --get it @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7426966&postcount=1000 --
Take SD card out and soft reset the phone.
Open registry.
Go to HKLM\Software\Msm7kCpuSpeed.
Edit the values as below:
BootTime = 90000 (This is important. This value gives enough time for the
phone to fully boot up. The phone has to fully boot up
before the OC kicks in)
CheckTime = 20 (Stable at 20, otherwise yoyos between base and OCed
cpu speed)
Command = 0
PerfomanceLevel = 35 (This speed is stable for me without SOD)
ScreenOffPerfomanceLevel = 27
SettlingTime = 10
Close Registry editor, insert SD card in the phone and soft reset the phone.
Once the phone has fully boot up, give it a minute before opening NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed and you should see your OCed cpu speed.
If your OC cpu speed isnt stable then take your SD card out,soft reset the phone and registry edit PerfomanceLevel to a lower value.
To restore back to phone default speed:
Open File Explorer.
Go to Windows\Startup folder and delete SetCpuSpeed.
Soft reset the phone and phone default speed will be restored.
Before deleting SetCpuSpeed from Windows\Startup folder , save it in Documents folder so if you want to overclock again, copy and paste it from Documents folder to Windows\Startup folder.
1. Performance Level 35 is overclocking @ 672 Mhz
2. Add 1 level means add 19.2 Mhz in clock speed
3. The best speed i reach in AC power (USB / Laptop) is 768 Mhz = performance level 40
4. I change my performance level into 40 & I can see in MSM7kCpuSpeed that i'm running 768 Mhz after 90 seconds from the bootup as written above.
5. a few programs can run ok in 768 Mhz or any speed in that matter, but most causes lockup. This does NOT happen in Blackstone / Rhodium
6. Even on performance level = 35 (672 Mhz) or even in Performance level = 27 i still got a lockup opening phone, SMS, coreplayer, teeter, & FPSECE (only when exiting). they work fine on AC power.
7. I dont know if it's because of my ROM (TAEL v.5) or if all RAPH experience the same Issue.
I hope we can continue to improve overclocking our RAPH to the point it can perfectly works ^^

Another OC program
There is also this Overclock Tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7463284&postcount=162
I haven't tried it yet, but it should work with our Raphael, and also on battery power.

I'm using touchpro and newest energy cookie rom.
Tried the method mentioned by b0z0k. Set level 35 for the 1st trial
Apps tried list:
Youtube
Opera
text message
File explorer
excel mobile
google mpas
teeter
window media player (not the music tab in sense)
lockup when playing teeter and music (the sense one). However, for other programs, it was just working brilliantly.
Really hope my experience can help.
After turning it to level 35, the device looks quite stable but i haven't tried any levels upper than that.

Yes, i just tried Energy ROM 1-2 days & Overclock works like a charm. Don't hestitate to use higher freq.. i found out that the best stable freq in my device are @ 748.8. 787 will instantly freeze my TP, 768 works but many apps crashing, 748.8 works very well with FpseCE
What i did, is try the newest energy ROM (rel. 23673, GTX, dinik version) & it all work like a charm. Sure, i still got occasional SOD but it's waaaaaaayyyyyy better than having to OC in Laptiop USB only..
So i think the issue i had earlier is definitely with the ROM (I think TAEL rom has some kind of energy saving script that keeps telling the CPU what clock it's running -- even when setCPUspeed already installed)
After i change to Energy Rom rel. 23673, on battery power, MSM7kCPUspeed+setCPUspeed v1.0d runs just as smoothly as AC power. I get occasional SOD only when exiting Fpsece (it makes the CPu drop to 384 Mhz then it froze). Using WMP, TCPMP, & other apps that usually crashes on TAEL v5 did NOT give me the "freeze"
@ 748.8 Mhz FPSEce gives me 5-8 fps boost with no frameskip , with frameskip i can play Final Fantasy Tactics @ 50 fps with no noticable errors (about 29 fps in landscape no frame skip)
And that makes me...
--> very happy TP owner
p.s. a little trick when having a non OC applicable ROM is to use your GPS programs (garmin, sygic, etc), minimize them, & run MSM7kcpuspeed to OC your device. this usually works ok.. Just a very bad battery consumption
& dont forget to change back to 604 Mhz before shutting down your GPS program & then u can power off the screen -- or else u get the SOD.

An update on usage:
I've just flashed to the updated rom for energy(Aug18 Cookie 23678)
After that, I overclock the device by the previous method.
I found that the device freezes everytime when i receive calls. Therefore,I have to remove the setcpu.ink in the window to stop overclocking. Anyone has figured out why the device freezes on some program but behave normal for the most of the time?

This is the biggest problem I have. Theres certain parts of the day while working that I use my phone a lot, and the SOD's with phone can cause me to miss calls or be unable to place a call (SOD while dialing).
Im still waiting for some sort of option to totally disable itself when a named program is run.

Just about 2-3 days now i have SOD while dialing too.. I don't know what's causing it, but i can confirm that after a fresh ROM flash (energy build 23673) i CAN dial in my phone while overclocked @ 768 Mhz.. After a lot of install, trial, etc now i have SOD EVERYTIME i dial in phone dialer.
p.s. before SOD's occured i just set up my GPRS/3G connection for my carrier.. i wonder if this is the cause?

Maybe.. I do the carrier auto-setup once i boot a new rom. (AT&T USA). It might be some settings in there messing with it.
The test I do to see if it freezes is this: Call my voicemail (google voice) and just keep hitting "7" a bunch of times and see if it freezes.
Ive also tried various phone canvases. Have tried the new one currently being cooked into NRG roms (aug 18th) before it was cooked in, will try again now to see if anything has changed.
edit: I have also been following and trying all versions of iwfratz's overclock tool, and compatibility actually seems to get worse with each new release. the original version would crash after a while at the stock 650, which on my TP its much more stable at 633. But with current versions (1.5) it crashes immediately after setting the overclock, a version or two ago it would run, but would still crash when using the phone app.

i use nrg rom 21914 and overclock with msm7kcpu speed +setup cpu 1.0d.
4 "bugs/[email protected],6Mhz":
-phone works great, untill i receve a call, than the phone hangs.
-also the phone hangs, when i will use nitrogen 1.1 to listen to music.
-and the phone hangs, when my alert goes on and i have the lockscreen activatet.
-when i receve a mms and downloaded it, the phone hangs also
after the hang, i need to put the batterie out of the tp to restart....
@ ~746 the phone starts but sense restarts again and again...but in the 6.august of nrg rom, i thought this speed works also ...
maybe someone know an answere.
I love the speed i wouldn't miss it...i already sold my Acer s200, because it is crap

New Method, No Freeze in Phone dialer, but battery more inefficient
New Method, No Freeze in Phone dialer, but battery more inefficient
I have tried SetCPUspeed v1.0d & it made the Overclock working BUT i dont know why every time I open dialer screen or an SMS came, it always freezes.
I think it has to do with the fact that WinMo in our TP consistantly checking the speed/ frequency of our MSM.
The only way we can bypass this :
1. When we connect to our laptop (activesync) -- when we connect Raph to PC & it starts sync-ing in activesync, the speed/ freq check disabled, this is an exploit that we can use to overclock safely. BUT..
We do need our laptop / PC to do this (we can't overclock when we're traveling & want to play FpseCE in full speed ^^)
2. THE NEW METHOD -- more battery draining though.. We can bypass the freq check using GPS module. When the GPS is ON, the speed check is disabled. This way, even when we're traveling, we can still Overclock our Raph safely (wont freeze when opening dialer / receivinf SMS.
But, it's still opening GPS module, it's a battery drainer. In my experience it's about 20% faster draining the battery. Use HTC GPS tool & choose "open port"
What i do is :
when the phone is not used (deep sleep), i don't use the Overclock. When i want to use something in my phone & i want to boost it's speed i will turn on HTC GPS tool & overclock my phone to 729,6 (the most stable for me). When i'm done & want to put my phone to sleep, i made my MSM7kCPUSpeed to 604 Mhz (safe speed, wont freeze) & i turn off the GPStool.
When i press the power button the freq will change to 528 Mhz again & the battery consumption became normal again. ^^
It's a turn around from the problem we're facing.. but Hey, i got to play Final Fantasy Tactics @ nearly full speed ^^

After a little testing, no freezes anymore.^^
However, if we disable the frequency check, we are not able to stablize the frequency.
What I mean is that sometimes after a call or running some programs, the frequency will drop to about 355 and I have to open MSM7kcpuspeed again to adjust the frequency.
Anyway, this is really a breakthough for overclocking out TP.

still got bugs
I love the increase of speed, when the device is overclocked.
But i got still bugs.
When i want to listen to music, it hangs after about 1-2 secounds. i don't know why.
Maybe you can help me with this problem, because i dont want to have only 527mhz.
my settings:
my BootTime = 90000
CheckTime = 20
Command = 0
PerfomanceLevel = 38
ScreenOffPerfomanceLevel = 27
SettlingTime = 10
best regards

i know it's an old thread, but is any new way public to overclock the touch pro?
atm i need to use it @ normal speed, because it is really buggy @ overclocked=/

[Q] How Do You Improve The Battery On V4 Rom?

How Do You Improve The Battery On V4 Rom?
Thanks for the help

Post a little about your setup:
- apps installed that run constantly (i.e. K9 mail, Wifi searching, etc)
- overclock values (if any)
- list your normal usage rates (rarely on the internet, playing music all the time, phone & mail only, etc.)
There are various ways to improve the battery life like SetCPU where you can slow the CPU down when it's not needed. Also, turn off your data when sleeping. Lot's of ways....need info first.

1. stock apps really ,
2. 1GHZ
3. internet used every 10 mins, dont play music, just stuff general

2G or 3G more? Wifi?
OK, what kind of battery life do you get?

battery
Follow the usual stuff. use 2g instead of 3g. disable WiFi when not in use. Additionally you can use your Milestone Overclock (included in ROM) to lower the maximum frequency of the chip. I use 1Ghz at 60 vsel. thats a bit overclocked but my battery life is fine. Anyways try that and see if it improves

thank you so much my vsel is 64 and now my battery lasts ages thank you
btw what does vsel mean?

vsel means voltage
btw I've learnt a vital way of saving juice from my local forum. use setcpu and set a profile for "screen off". put the cpu speed to 250max, priority 100, powersaver.
this successfully reduced my batt consumption by at least 50% as I am a light user and the phone is idle most of the time. now it lasts me through 2 days on a charge
