Kaser overclock

Which software to use?

In my humble opinion: None......for the Qualcomm there is no software availalble to overclock it....but in time it will come...

try this out guys. application specific.

All this seems to be doing is to change the priority of the threads running certain applications. It does not overclock the CPU like OMAP did.

anyway does this work?
or its like the sktools optimization?

Any progress out there on a safe program to overclock a Kaiser? WM6 is definitely faster than WM5, but alot slower than my old Palm OS Treos.
thanks,
d

I'm also waiting for a piece of software that will allow me to overclock my Kaiser, but still there is no progress at all. As they say - patience is gods' virtue (-:

has anyone tried htc performance?
I believe I read helmi had a hand in creating it???I know this has been used on a few different devices and is very low on batti draw but no one quite knows how it works.Really makes a difference on my device but Im not sure if it would be safe to use or even work with the proccessor on the kaiser.

With the battery life as borderline as it is with the Tilt/Kaiser, I'd shy away from overclocking. You'll get lightening fast speed for the 5 minutes of battery life

ya but...
ya but... with the video drivers we're missing and an overclocker the phone would be lightning quick.Also I was reading that the reality is with the right programmers the next gen phones kaiser , dream and a few others a playstation 2 emulator on the ppc would be possible. imagine being on a plane cut off 3g and phone functions and play ps2 games on your phone. plus with extended and/or extra batteries that are now becoming available...

I do not see the logic. The Kaiser is so fast and has so much memory, why would you risk bricking or prematurely damaging your phone? Just my opinion

Glad to learn that my Kaiser is so fast ! I guess you don't use games or heavy graphical applications, because then you would see that the Kaiser is not faster than an HTC Prophet wich is overclocked at only 240 Mhz ! (380 Mhz for the Kaiser...). Also if you want to play VGA videos, the speed is not good enough (wich it should be if you look at the Qualcomm processors capabilities, but as everyone know here, HTC did'nt make the drivers for that).
I am very disapointed by the fact the Kaiser is not a VGA device, but even more disapointed when you see that it is not even faster than a VGA device !!! So at this low speed, where is the interest of having a QVGA screen compared to VGA ?
Definitly, an overclocker tool may help me to consider keeping my Kaiser (even if I think that at this device price, it's a shame to be obliged to overclock it to have a decent speed ...).

The prophet is slower in my opinion, I don't own a Kaiser, but whenever i use it everything happens faster than on my overclocked WM6 Prophet (overclocked to 286MHz normally).

How does the speed compare to the TyTN, mine should be here on Wednesday... I can't wait!

someone found a tool that really works ?

WOW! and I thought we had enough problem threads on here with overheat and battery deaths!
Look out for many more!!

I upgraded to kaiser from a Tmob Wing, for that I played with an overclocker called Fl0wt. Which did seem to work BUT the battery becames a flamethrower of heat and the battery life was sucked away in no time. this wasnt a big clock speed step either. The parts just arnt suited for the additional heat it seems. plus it felt dangerously hot...like "hit the dirt its going to blow" hot. not worth the risk in my oppinion...but hey thats just me

Can you post a link to "Fl0wt" ive searched far and wide and found nothing. Please post a link.
Cheers !

I beg to differ.
I play LOTS n LOTS of games on my TyTN II AND I watch full feature movies and I use Outlook AND I use GPS AND I use internet (Netfront v3.5) and I have yet to find a speed problem as mentioned in this here cheese and whine forum.
Some of the games I have on my TyTN II are:
Cybersaurus
Warfare Inc
Machines at War
Bejeweled 2
Zuma
Ackys XP Breakout
Shattered Worlds
Call of Duty 2
Darxide EMP
gfDoom
Fast Future Race
G-Prime Extreme
Interstellar Flames
Skyforce Reloaded
Quake & Quake 2
Sinbad Return of the Legends
Flux Challenge
Is this a good enough sample for you?
THE KAISER NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A VGA DEVICE. IT IS STRICTLY QVGA....NOW GET OVER IT!!!
I am starting to believe that AT&T roms are fraught with problems.
I don't have that problem here in SA.
My TyTN 2 is MUCH faster than my iMate KJam....MUCH MUCH FASTER!!!
So I don't know what you are referring to.

I have Call of Duty 2 too, and it's really slow on the Kaiser compared to other devices. You should see how it runs on other PPC's...

I have an T-mobile Kaiser and it's definitely not much faster than a Magician. The difference is really, really small.
And we're referring to the fact that there are no drivers for the ATI Imageon hardware. Thanks to this, everything needs to be rendered by the CPU.

Weird Gaming

So i was checking out my 8525 and Tilt yesterday and was comparing the two a little by playing games. So i went to open up morphgear (emulator) and opened up the aladin rom on both. For one, gaming is a lot nicer on the 8525 for two reasons: one it has the PIE and message button on the top so you can play it like a GBA. Two, the speed was great. I was really sruprised at this one. I went to play the same game and to my surprise, it was a lot slower. I went and compared the settings and they were exactly the same. I thought for sure that the Tilt would play better because of the more ram/rom and better processor. To my surprise, it lagged. I don't think this is part of the driver thing everybody is talking about, it works great, it just runs too slow. Anybody else getting this? It's also a lot harder to play since the PIE and messaging button are on the dpad so you can't play horizontally. So if you have emulators on your kaiser, i'd like to hear the performance and how you play (controls). Thanks.

It is indeed due to the drivers everyone is talking about. Just like if you try running a 3D game on software rendering, instead of DirectX.

If you want a device with really decent emulation capbilities, get the Dell Axim x51v. The Kaiser is plain hopeless without the drivers.

I see. Well i can't really get an axim as i already have 3 ppc's (8525,8925, and hp jornada 567 and used to have an 8125) Hope these drivers come out soon. So the 8525 has better video drivers than the tilt?!

LOL, not better. It HAS drivers.
The Kaiser uses software rendering, cause it has no driver for hardware rendering. (Or something like that)

I see, really hope these drivers come out soon (heard they'd come out through the windows update in the settings) but haven't heard when .

Graphics chip

Hi all
I was just wondering, is the in built graphics chip of the diamon actually taken advantage off by any applications outside of touchflo? for example FPSECE??
Many thanks

Seems to be better with new rom. Palm Heroes does not lag that much as before

HTC just removed the fly-in/fly-out on the TouchFlo3D interface on the newer 1.93 ROM's....why is this 3d accelerated graphics chip on the diamond not capable of making a smooth fly-in/fly-out? Is it WM6, is it because there are a lot of files involved into TF3D, is it because the chips sucks? Who can tell me...

It doesn't help accelerate TomTom, runs like crap at about 2fps with no POI's enabled, my Tytn 2 ran it at about 6-8fps.
It may be a VGA screen but with a GPU capable of gaming at PSP speed this should not happen, so as with the Tytn 2 the CPU is doing all the work which is very disappointing
The even older Tytn 1 ran TomTom amazingly smoothly why not the Diamond.

I hope it's because is a newer pda, and its os&drivers needs to be adapted ad hoc, so all we need, is patience.

Graphics Performance (Is it really that bad?)

Hello!
I am thinking about buying a htc diamond but i am concerned with what i read about graphic performance of this device. Is it really that bad? I would like to play some games on it (among other things). Does it have problems handlig common games or its just few games that do not run smoothly? I would sacrifice some really demanding games but if it is more serious than that ,it is an issue I can't overcome.

First of all, the Diamond isn't a dedicated multimedia device so you cannot expect stunning graphics from it's video chipset. Sure, you can find alot of nice 3D games around that work great on the Diamond, some with some tweaks here and there ( Flux Challenge, COD 2, Quake, Anthelion, etc. ), but that really depends on your expectations. Those "demanding games" you mentioned don't shed any light on the situation. Please be more specific!

I dont intend to use it as a gaming as a gaming platform but struggling to find a game hat will run smoothly won't make me happy. Is it just a small number of games that diamond will have problems with or is it a majority? (I am not a windows mobile user yet and so i am not familiar with its games)

The Diamond should handle pretty much any Pocket PC game you throw at it.

The HTC Touch Diamond can handle any PPC game.
Do u know that in Diamond there is an AMD Imageon 3D Hardware chip?
Search in the forum, there's a D3D driver for handling all D3D hardware requests.
That thing will infinitely speed up D3D Hardware rendering.

I'm new and Have some questions on X1

I plan on buying the X1 when I get my $5500 next week. My most recent phone was the Motorola Rokr E6(Linux Based) and I'm coming from the Motorola Deveploment Community. I've owned a Sony before (W810i) and loved it, so I want to get the X1. I've never used WM before So I hope modding won't be hard to learn. My questions are: Is there Emulaters for the X1 like Nitendo, Super Nitendo, Sega, GBA, N64, and PS1. I had these on my E6 and loved them. Also what about the Doom expansions and Quake expansions as well, I also played these on my E6. Aslo can we overclock the processor and use Swap partions to, Also things I loved about the E6. I looked in the thread for noob questions but 4 pages in it was just people saying how much they don't like noobs posting unneccesary posts and how much they don't like noobs basically so I stopped looking in the thread and decided to post this thread. I aplogize if these questions were posted somewhere else. Thank you for your time and I can't wait to learn WM modding.

All the Emulators are performing like crap (on the MSM720*).
Only (low action) SNES games on Morphgear, like Mario or other lame games (sorry but i hate platforms) where actually able to play on a decent framerate.
Secret of Mana for example was unplayable, unless you like humongous lag. Enabling sound only makes it worse. At the time I actually gave a crap about it, I couldnt stand playing it any longer then 10 minutes, since the qwerty keyboard is not usuable for gaming (in a comfort way, it functions fine in morphgear)
Emulation on WM6.1 is bull****, apart from the PS1 emulator that is, even though the MSM7200 is immensely underpowered for it, seeing that thing on a Snapdragon or OMAP3 chipset (youtube it) is pure awesomeness.
My S.E. M600 did GBA/SEGA Genesis emulation about 4 times as fast, and thats with an 208Mhz ARM9 chip.
Do not buy the X1 if you like playing (console) games.

Thanks for the reply, My E6 had a intel PXA270 chipset clocked at 312mhz but with overclocking I could boost it to 528mhz and 620mhz and that vastly improved gaming, Can we do this on the X1?. And what about Doom and Quake.

Welcome to the forums .
1 - Yes. Most will have some lag, but the good thing is there are many to choose from. MorphGear, PicoDrive PocketNES, PocketSNES, etc. The emulator gaming is enjoyable, but will perfect.
You have a choice of hundreds of WinMo games + Java games + PC ports like StarCraft and Diablo, so there are plenty of games.
2 - Yes, you can play them on the X1. Quake is not modified for the WVGA resolution AFAIK, but Quake 3 is playable with a slow framerate. Doom worked only once for me, but I didn't bother to fix it. I just don't find those type of games playable without a mouse...
3 - No overclocking for the X1 so far. There are a couple of programs, but they either do nothing, or start once and then freeze.
Use search, read, learn and feel free to ask questions after that .

@orelsi thanks so much for the info. Sweet we can play Starcraft and Diablo. Dam no overclocking thats a shame. hmm so quake and doom are not made for the 800x400 res, thats okay I bet there is alot of 3d java games for the X1. And yes next time I wll use the search I just really needed to know these answers, and get a chance to talk to some members.

Double post. Mods, please delete it.

I'm glad that I was able to help .
About the games. When I got the X1, I was thinking that I would play games on it all the time. Well... it didn't work out that way lol. Between the browsing, reading rss feeds and books, tweaking options, mp3s, clips, etc. I barely got time for a quick game haha.
All the games are just rusting in the corner.
Nevertheless, when you think how hot StarCraft was back in the day and that now you can carry it in your pocket..... makes you wonder about the future .
Check out this list of games. It can give you a general idea:

Have been playing Chrono Trigger on Morphgear for months and no problem for me.
And if you can stand the black bar on the side of the screen, quake not being WVGA shouldn't be a problem.

One last thing, What about Swap Partions for the X1?

Well, I might've took things out of context, but i was REALLY disappointed in the Emulation capabilities of my X1.
I remember completely finishing multiple action-oriented SEGA Genesis games on my S.E. M600i (208mhz ARM9), Sonic&Knuckles (very fast platform), Streets of Rage (beat em up), Vectorman (action, platform), and some mickeymouse game (action/platform). All of these had perfect stereo sound, and i often had a framerate above realtime.
Then you can understand, that when i got my X1 (totally excited about its WAY FASTER CPU) and booted up similar games, i was extremely confused that i had no sound (without screwing my fps even more), terrible framerate and TBH, awefull controlls. That is the reason, why i think the X1, and all similar, underpowered Windows Mobile devices, is a PITA to play emulated games on.
About the swap. We dont have it (AFAIK), and we'll never need it. My percentage of Ram usage is always under 90%, no matter how many apps i open. Mainly this is because of a (IMO retarded) 16MB/32MB Ram per app limit.
