A member over at fellow Windows Mobile forum XDA-Developers has just linked to an application that allows overclocking of the TI OMAP processor.

The application, named 'OMAPclock', seems to have been developed originally on a Russian site with the aim of speeding up the Motorola MPx range. By happy coincidence, HTC Wizard owners have discovered that it works on their devices too, and interest in the application has increased somewhat

As well as the Wizard, people are reporting positive results with the HTC Prophet, although - as always - using programs of this nature may put additional stresses and strains on your device, and is to be done with extreme caution!

The original thread on the program can be found HERE at XDA-Developers, or HERE if your Russian is good!

Feel free to continue discussing the application in this topic, and i'm about to give it a go on my Prophet, so will report back results!

This application should run on any TI OMAP device, including Smartphones such as the C600, iMate SP5 but, again, do so at your own risk

TomTom appears to be faster with the map zoom.
see how long it takes to melt the vario at 240

[PaulOBrien]

Running 240MHz on my Prophet, and woah it's faster, need to give Skype a go now

Might also do the memmaid tweak to reset the clock speed when coming out of suspend!

Ok here is what TCPMP is reporting,

Original speed

Now for the speed set to 240 (note it shows 223Mhz)

Sounds about right as it's reporting original as 168 when it's actually 195MHz (I think).

My 1 yr-old C500 is on its 21 hours underclocked state (running 108Mhz although TCPMP reports it to be 127Mhz) and I still have 86% power remaining (still on full bars). Im pretty sure my phone didn't have such performance prior to the underclocking.


Latest version is 0.2 with 372Mhz as highest clock speed option.

[PaulOBrien]

Interesting, hadn't thought about the underclocking implications

[awarner]

Interesting I get an error when trying to run it on my C500 :?

@Paul
Impressive results. Got to try overclocking this time. 372Mhz, will it fry my phone?  

@awarner
Where did you place the exe? I have it on \Storage.

So do I but I get an I/O error

[gpcarreon (MVP)]

From what I can recall, I restarted my phone and had it (version 0.1) working after.

I have it load on phone Startup using special LNK (v0.2) :
24#”\Storage\OmapClock.exe” -clock 108


Runs silent on background with 108Mhz clock speed.

Works on my Vario. Not been brave enough to go above 200MHz in the program (not sure what this corresponds to in actual terms). I had some trouble getting the MemMaid tweak to work, mainly because I had some problems creating the shortcut. I couldn't create it using TotalCommander or File Explorer. In the end I installed a trial copy of Resco Explorer to create the shortcut which now works OK.

[Alphas]

I tried on my HTC ammadeus or SP5m, it return a error cannot map I/O

[someone]

What about the risks of overheating the processor and other electric parts with permanent damage (read a blown up phone) as a result? Are there any limitations of for example the 200 MHz Omap processor used in the HTC Typhoon / Hurricane or its WiFi variant in the HTC Tornado which sits in my Qtek 8310? As there are no ways to cool down the phone except for only using it outside during cold days like these ( ), I'm afraid having the phone in my pocket and heating it up by my body heat together with an overheated prcessor will cause severe damage?

[PaulOBrien]

I can't get the wakeup thing to work, using SKTools or MemMaid which is a bit annoying, sure I DID have it working.

The shortcut works, but when I link to it from wakeup or power on in the notify queue, no dice!

Bah!

[Pigo]

How is the Vario holding up in a overclocked state? is it a lot faster?

Hope nobody toasts their phone.

[PaulOBrien]

Prophet still in one piece

[rperalta]

Anybody tried it on Cingular 2125 (aka HTC Tornado)?

Thanks,

If I could find the link to download, I'd give it a go on my C600
