I hv come across this overclock utility for TI OMAP, OmapClock 0.2
I have tried it on DOPOD 818, overclock up to 240MHz, runs without problem. Opening SMS dan File Explorer is now alot faster.
Anyone with TI OMAP processor should have this !!!!
It should run on Smartphone too.

Great find...thanks...
Works brilliantly. Thanks
Impressive! What about CPU temperature?
I'm equally impressed by the speed gains of this little program, but am somewhat concerned about other potential side-effects; like frying the CPU!! :?
Anyway, I'm using 'batti' to keep a close look on the temperature. It's qite a handy little tool.
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/
Please let us all know how you get on with this program over time.
P.S. Does anybody know what temperature should NOT be exceeded by this CPU? Mine is currently at 30 degrees and it was at 24 when I started using the overclocker.
Correct me if i'm worng but the batti app looks like it shows battery temp, not cpu temp? (prehaps your battery temp ahs gone up because you've been holding your pda ;-p)
My Bad! Temp is for battery NOT CPU!!

Your absolutely right!!
Thanks for bringing my attention to this very important point. :wink:
Anyone know of an application that accurately shows the CPU temperature? :lol:
when i run in 300MHz which Mini S, it will hard reset.. I don't know why
hi minhbu_sg,
when i drive a 90° curve with my car at 100 miles per hour i always have to leave the road just kidding. the reason for hard reset is just of physical nature. you have exceeded the limits of your built-in omap cpu. at 300mhz it does something but not what it is supposed to do. same thing when you have, let's say, a glass of whisky. having one glass of whisky does slightly influence your cpu (brain) and everything you are trying to do is a little bit easier (at least you feel so) but having a bottle of whisky drives you doing things you don't want to do at all.
so keep overclocking you omap moderately and you get the best benefit out of it.

hi
i install this software and i put my device clock to 300 and it stop working.
i try soft reset but it didn't start. and i try to hard reset it also didn't go
please help what should i do.
thanking you in advanced

i installed this on my kjam and worked great with noticeable speed boost, BUT....
when i suspend the kjam, and open it again, the speed goes back to the defauls 180.
is this normal? or something has to be done to enable the speed i choose until the next soft reset at least?
Yes, it's normal - and yes, you would have to use some manner of application to re-start the overclock after a suspend. See also the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40284
Can somebody tell me how to run this program. Im pretty new to all of this and not sure where to install on my qtek s200 and how to run it.
Thanks!

U device (Qtek s200) is a HTC Magican. This forum is about HTC Wizard. Try to look in Magican forum.
People! When wizard is in suspend it runs on 180 mhz? Can we decrease this value in suspend mode?
oh yeah!!! now, my device [818 Pro] run faster @240MHz...it seems as same as XDA Mini...[even better]...thanx!!!
cheers...Oi...!
i'm confused
i'm using a Dopod 818pro,and i already used the omap overclock v.0.2 ... i copied it into my device (not storage card).then i run it on 252Mhz,and set action..so the speed is already 252Mhz and very fast... but i've got some problem,when i turn my device to standby mode,and when i push the power button to sms someone,i check my speed,it went back to 180MHz,is it normal?? cause if it runs under 180MHz,that means it didn't run at 252MHz right????
thanx any way.....
sort of off topic but that batti program is nice...
it's kind of like the battery meter that comes with spb, but better...

I've beat the learning curve and i think i'm now ready to move up to wm5. But first i was wondering if, besides the bluetooth, there are any reasons, for me NOT to move up to wm5?
thanks.
it is a little slower than 2003 but it is more stable than 2003, if bluetooth is not an issue for you try wm5 you will like it, if you not like it you can always downgrade
Its slower than 2003SE, and sometimes you feel like throwing it against a wall....more so than 2003se.
I used my friends HP ipaq, boy that thing flew (2003se) it was responsive with hardware and software buttons..must be using a faster cpu.
so a reason not to is the speed.
do you guys have yours overclocked?
Overclocking?
I do, well, techincally it's vary-clocked. I use Power Hacker which automaticly adjusts the CPU speed as needs be. In idle the CPU sits at 100Mhz and on load it jumps up to 554Mhz with various overclocking on the RAM and such like.
The fact it idles at such a low CPU seems to give me a bit more battery power to make up for the higher drain when in use.
There is a topic about overclocking on the main "Blue Angle" Forum.
As for reasons to upgrade to WM5, to be honest I've forgotten! I think it was just because of a few annoying bugs, like the BT and Wi-Fi connection issues (having to soft-reset the stupid thing everytime I want to reconnect to my home wireless.) and also just because it has a nicer layout.
You know, before my next WM5 flash I might just go back to WM2003SE for a couple of days just to remind myself what's so great about WM5....
the only problem i have w/ WM5 is the keyboard problem. lags sometimes and keys lock

Sorry !!! My mistake.
But is very goood !!!
A speed question.
So i've been playing around with emulators. Mainly morphgear, pocket snes, and pocket nester. To get the best performance out of the blue angel while playing very resource intensive games like legend of zelda link to the past or super mario world, (both with sound), i'm having to overclock.
So i started using pocket hack master, ( phm for the searchers).
The highest i can put my settings without it crashing and to make these games run decent looks like this.
SDRAM clock: 147.50 mhz
pxbus (internal bus) clock: 148.00 mhz
run to turbo multiplier: 2.00
Mem to run multiplier: 2.00
Turbo is 592.00 Mhz
Run is 296.00 Mhz
Now. After looking at all this information my question is how much more resource intensive is wm5 going to be? Will these roms not be able to run reliably? I'm assuming i'm just about topped out, and i'm also assuming that wm5 is going to take more juice. But i'm wondering how significant of a difference i'm facing?
Does wm5 run slower because it's more resource intensive or just slower by defualt? as in the way it's coded?
Hi,
It's been quite a while since I tested ROMS. Last one was Logout's 5.03. Have used Ivan's V3 also.
Out of curiousity before I flash my ROM to 2.3/3.0, are any of the beta versions currently available faster than the older non AKU ROMS?
If so, which one is the most stable to install? AKU2.3 or 3.0?
They are miles faster. I'd recommend AKU3.0 or the upcoming AKU3.2 from Helmi_C. AKU3 is preffered over AKU2.3 because it's slightly faster so more work is being done for that.
Thanks Biohead for answering. I'll flash Helmi's AKU3.0 beta soon and see how it goes.
Yes, faster than most...I wouldnt go as far as saying they are miles faster...and the battery life on AKU3.0 is horrible imo. That being said. I am still using it for the moment because it has the best combination of features and stability that I have found so far. this battery thing is killing me though. if battery life does not improve I will become too frustrated and have to go back to a different rom that has better performance in this regard. just my 2 cents.
-wurd
I'd reccommend one of those extended bateries regardless of which ROM you use, they are not that expensive and give you much more juice.
Wurdipus,
Why is the battery draining out fast? Is it due to some kind of self-power-on problem?
Btw, many here recommend to overclock to 520Mhz for BA to run WM5.0. Any recommendations on which software to use to do that?

I am not sure why battery is draining so fast. I did not have this problem with TuMa 1.4 or Ivan's latest rom. they may not have as many features/functions enabled in those other roms. I am just not sure. i dont use wifi, but i do leave GPRS connection open a lot of the time to sync email in near realtime. I did that with the other roms too though and didnt see this dramatic battery drain.
as far as overclocking goes...i use this overclock tweak that i believe mamaich wrote. if it was someone else who wrote it, forgive me for not remembering =)
edit: just as a note. this overclocking hack runs at 530Mhz when backlight is on. when backlight is off it drops back to whatever the native speed of the CPU is.

once it is installed it just resides in the background. I am not sure exactly how it works, but i do know it has no GUI for control. Mamaich wrote it to simply install and run behind the scenes. If you want something you can control and adjust then xpuscalar is probably the way to go.

there is a know bug in all wm5 rom's on this forum and that is the BlueTooth issue. BT randomly looses itself, soft-reset needed. To work-around this someone made a patch that will wake-up your PDA every so much minutes to keep BT alive.
so turn off BT if not used. i've no battery problem.
And for overclocking i use pocket hack master. Made my tomtom to startup in 13 secs. in stead of 35 sec. on wm5. Maybe it makes battery life longer since it underclocks as well when idle.

seems to be a lot of disconnect between threads and rom makers here. when i was using TuMa1.4 and the BT patch .dll from big mike, I didnt have this battery issue and TuMa had many many features like AKU roms have. I only wish Tuatara had gotten the time to finish 1.5 and work out the few remaining bugs. TuMa rom was best one ever imo even with all the little problems in 1.4 i still used it longer than any other....hoping they would get fixed one day. Now AKU rom is out and re introduced a lot of the old issues I had before TuMa 1.4. oh well.
its all from people volunteering time and effort to make these roms so I am not complaining! just thinking somewhere along the lines it would have been great for more interaction between rom makers to know what worked in one or the other. awesome work on all the roms and I will keep trying to help as much as I can with reports about what works and what doesnt.
on that note....one problem I have again now with the latest AKU is the phone rings for the person calling me 3 or more times before I hear a ring on my phone. by the time I can answer it has gone to voice mail. this problem was gone for awhile but now its back.
I can't agree more. IMHO this devices are sold with a tiny battery just for the sake that you'll must buy an extended one. Before I got mine, I had just a day of runup. Now I have 3, even 4 days. So, I clearly recommend buying the extended battery as a must for this devices..

go back to 2003 these roms are a disgrace to microsoft haha go billy gates!
Well if you can't use it - do not use it.
The main point (if you did not notice) is tath there is no official release of WM5 for BA. Thus, saying something about Microsoft's OS that was not designed/adjusted for a given hardware is the same as complaining about stupid Ferrari engine that cannot be installed into a regular Renault.
Ive only had my Blue Angel for a couple of weeks (converted from Symbian UIQ)
I decided to try the lastest Helmi 1.3 and so far it's been great
OK there are a couple of issues but so far i've been happy.
I now no longer backup the phone on a daily basis and have not needed to soft reset for ages , with 2003 it was getting to be a pain in the neck.
Also my bluetooth headset has much better quality on WM5 with no static
So i for one am happy
Explain what problems you're having!!
The AKU ROM's are the best of the lot I say - and I will go as far as saying Helmi's AKU3.2 is as fast as 2003SE (and prettier!). It's stable, most programs work and still being improved!

Knowing that running down the battery isn't going to zap your phone is great. Thanks again to all those who helped bring WM5 to the blue angel!!
Personally, I'm still on helmi 1.2 and I find it to be just as reliable or moreso than WM2003.

yeah, can anyone tell me what is the lifespan of the backup battery? 2 nights ago, before i slept i plugged my BA with only 3hrs remaining battery life... woke up 9 hrs after to see that i forgot to plug the charger to the wall outlet! immediately plugged it in and the BA soft resetted, but lo and behold, everything is still there!
and here's the twist, all my most often used apps are installed in the ramdisk!
can 2003se beat that?
I suggest you first research and review WM5 on BA before complaining, because if you complain without first knowing what you are talking about you, you'll easily turn to an IDIOT in the forums (pun not intended)
Um....why all the replies to a 12 year old proving he's cool?
Indeed. I wonder why he even has the brains to be able to know how to use a browser... or even plug in his computer
I have also converted to Helmi 1.3 and although WM5 was alittle slow, this is no fault of the Rom but the fact that the OS was desgined for faster CPU's. installed XCPUScalar and pumped up the cpu speed from 400 to 530, and yeah sure i do get less battery life, but for me that is not an issue, as I charge while at work.
I am alot happier and although the odd lock up happens, it a helava-lot better than 2003SE
Are you guys F..... crazy
Whay dont you use some programs like Destinator 6 or Tomtom Navigator 5, and check the performance while navigate on maps.
This versions of WM5 are too slow, compared with 2003SE.
I have tested all the versions with no lucky, all GPS programs on WM5 for BlueAngel has a lot of lag on maps.
I have no problems with TomTom... No lags (except long start-up), no hangs, etc...

I dont have a problem with TomTom5 as well. True slightly slow start but never any lags or problems. i think ur problem maybe that your cpu is still set to 400mhz and that where tomtom is suffering. pump up ur cpu and see if that helps.

The speed of the CPU isn't the problem, its the type of flash memory used on older pre-WM5 devices.. sure upping the clock helps as I run mine at 590 all the time, but fact of the matter is this is about the fastest we'll ever see WM5 on our BAs because of this hardware problem
Installing to the RAM disk reduces this problem, that's why it's there. The RAM storage is much faster than the ROM areas.

Is this 'RAM' the one which zeros itself after battery fully drains?
Yes, but I've had that happen once in 18 months of having the BA. If you only install accessory software to the ramdisk, a reset won't cause you much hastle other than having to reinstall a couple of applications.
I detest the PC installation of apps over activesync now as it unnessarilly clutters up your PC. I just keep all of the cab files a directory on the sdcard. I can hard reset and get everything installed really quickly this way.
So under normal conditions a softreset won't erase data on RAM disk?

That's correct. You'd need to either drain the backup battery completely or hard-reset to lose it. It could still happen, which is why I only install apps there. Don't keep any personal docs etc. just in case.
Thnx Fraser
I'm not sure the time refresh but no matter what I overclock the device to it will reset back to default (180mhz) within an hour or less. This happens in both manually in omap software and the startup smartkey.ini. Either way the device will hold the overclock temporarly while the device zips by, but sooner or later it clocks back to 180!
I'm running pdaviet4, how are your experiences?!
The same! CRAP!!!

Using underground edition with omapclockplus occasionally drops the overclock and I need to reset it. But for the most part sticks with it.
The only annoying part is you don't know when it drops untill you need to do something that uses some juice and your device hangs forever
I use battery status to overclock
And it works fine
For some reason smartskey does not work well for overclocking on the wm6 and wm5 AKU3 roms

I agree. I have now disabled OmapClock via SmartsKey and use Battery Status. Seems to work flawlessly.
Andy
yeah same used both and battery status is the best choice for me
This sounds strange to me ! I never had problems with omapclock and smartskey. And I ran it on every rom, including several wm6.
I often use my pda for short periods, but i usually play very long times (call of duty 2 for instance, which needs a lot of ressources to be playable) with no problems. Also tomtom is fluent each time i use it (if i try to use it not OC'd then I can feel the difference)
so for me, so far, no problem with omapclock v.2 and smartskey in wm6

Both Omapclock+Omapclockplus or Omapclock+Smartskey make me default frequency after manual suspend and wakeup (by key press) and overclocked frequency after automatic suspend (by timeout).
Now trying Batterystatus, it seems is able to keep the device overclocked forever. Checking for battery drain.....

same Batterystatus FTW
I want to thank you guys for the battery status tip! its been running rock solid and the battery info is good to know too
As for the overclock i turned off the string in smartskey.ini and let battery status take over. WM6 still seems to reset the clock when the device is in standby (you can notice this real quick when waking the device and notice the Mhz change) but battery status has the option to re-set the clock to the overclock specificed on wakeup. Great little app!
I suppose its a little savior WM6 defaulting the clock in standby... in the end, it saves juice!
