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. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Could you explain in little more details how you created this link. I am using QTEK 8310 running WM5. So if I install the program in program files, my short cut should read:

"\program files\Omapclock.exe" -clock 108 (or the freq I wish)

And I place this link in the windows\startup folder

Problem is when I tried to change .lnk file to above, I immediately get  message, certain characters ", # etc are not supported file names. I only have Smart Explorer or built in File Mgr. Any idea how to create above mentioned link with these programs???
Thanks

First is to transfer OmapClock.exe (version 0.2) to your phone. You then create a shortcut to 'OmapClock.exe' via ActiveSync. File 'Shortcut to OmapClock.exe' is then created, its an LNK file.

Transfer the LNK to your PC. Open the LNK on your PC using Notepad. Add " -clock XXX". Save the file as .LNK (not TXT). Transfer back to your phone's Start Menu folder.

I've just created a shortcut in my startup folder with the phone running @ 242MHz . I can say that it's much faster!

You will notice the difference in speed when recording a video. The red dot flashes faster on 252Mhz compared to default 180Mhz.

Did anybody get this to work on Cingular 2125 or HTC Tornado. I get the same I/O error.

Thanks,

240 is the highest i can go where the phone stays stable. smt5600 that is.

uhhh, got it. Thanks for your help

hot like... O S**T!!! thats not ment to be that hot! kind of hot.... if you get me

[Dr_StrangeTrick]

Don’t know if this happens to anyone else but when the screen goes off (power saving) if I wait a few seconds and run it again it reverts back to normal speed.

If I set my power management so it stays on all the time then whenever I check it its always on 264Mhz.

But my phone doesn’t get hot though :??:

[PaulOBrien]

Yes, it resets on power saving for everyone...

Cross posting on to this thread from the Hurricane specific one. Personally I prefer the idea of only overclocking for the apps I need the extra gumption for:

Rufus wrote on Hurricane Thread said:

Just installed it on my C550 and configured it using the -Launch and -Restore (via the Music Player.lnk file) options to only work with TCPMP when the Play/Pause button is pressed.

Running at 240MHz it makes a noticeable difference with less dropped frames / jerkyness on some of the higher quality Divxs.

Using a Divx I created the other night without it I get Benchmarks of an Average speed of 97.02% (24.26 frames/s 402 kbit/s) in default behaviour.

Running TCPMP with the OverClock at 240Mhz I get:

Average speed 135.69%, 33.92 F/s and 605 kbits/s

A respectable 40% increase in speed and noticeable when playing.

As it's only being overclocked when I'm actually playing Divx (which is the only processor hungry app I've got at the moment), I think the risks aren't too high. It's also still under warranty so c'est la vie!

Will monitor temperature subjectively on the journey home.

FWIW my Music Player.lnk in Mossywell Copy Files sub-dir now reads:

39#"\Storage Card\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 240 -launch "\Storage Card\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe" -restore

HTH - YMMV etc. - Rufus.

Hey RufusA, that's a damn good idea...I now have mine setup to only overclock when I run certain apps.

The only niggle is that it changes the program icon to that of the 'omapclock' app.  Is there any way to change it back?

[med3d]

Hi guyz,

I installed OmapClock on m storage card. When I run the app it says that it can't find "Omapclock" and its components, check the availibility of libraries...

By the way, I had the same issue with pocketsnes.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this?

I own an MPX200.


Hope you'll be able to give me an advice.

Works OK on my Qtek 8310. Great app.

An ideal thing would be if it could revert back to overclocked speed after waking the phone up from "sleep". This way the phone will be "normal clocked" when sleeping (means good power consumtion), and over clocked as soon as you're doing something with the phone.
It would be even better if one could pre-set clockspeed for booth "sleep" and "wake" state. So one could UNDER clock it when sleeping, for minimum power consumtion, and overclock when awake, for maximum performance

AFAIk there is no way of changing the icon for a lnk (it's always the linked to program)!

Rufus.

[gpcarreon (MVP)]

You can change the icon and still launch the target EXE. Sort of an 'icon linking' technique. Try this LNK code:

43#"\Storage\OmapClock.exe"?\Storage\OI.exe,-1

Where:
43# = the number of strings (characters) in the LNK code from the left-most (") to (1)
"\Storage\OmapClock.exe" = the main OmapClock executable file (with the black icon)
? = a question mark. Its a part of the code  
\Storage\OI.exe = the icon resource file
-1 = the icon ID you wish to use

2. Contents of the icon resource file (OI.exe). The number after the comma (,) is the icon ID. Icon 0 is 16x16, while 1 is a 32x32 icon.

Same thing with my MPX200!   HELP! help! HELP!

hi gpcarreon,

By change, do you know how to fix the I/O error found in this thread.

Thanks,
