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.

Emulation on the Kaiser - Good or Bad?

Hopefully someone who has both the Hermes and Kaiser can tell me which is the better pda to use emulators with. I currently have the Touch which I am more than happy with except for the slower cpu and lack of hardware keys. I mainly use the emulators for the Snes, GBA and Atari ST.
As I spend 75% of the time trying to play emulator games on the Touch the speed of emulation and lack of hardware keys is a real problem sometimes. I had my heart set on getting a Kaiser but have recently come across threads in the Kaiser forum regarding problems with the Video/CPU drivers for the Kaiser. I assume this would affect the speed of emulation.
So I was not sure whether to look at getting a Hermes instead as it is a lot cheaper and possibly more compatible with Emulators. Do you think it would be much faster than the ELF and worth getting?
What would you advise me to do?
Thanks, meddle

I'd say for your purposes, get an Hermes.
The question is, what is more important to you, a communication device or an emulator

Emulation is probably No 1 for me. Other than that MP3, Video Playback and a communicator in last place. I have a GPS for the car already so the advantages of the Kaiser don't really come into question unless someone thinks it out performs the Hermes for emulator/games.

I only play Emulation when I have nothing to do with my phone.
Im using eGens, eMorphGear, and eSNES as Emulation. The speed on my AT&T Tilt is great on loading time and play. I would say you may want to look at 400MHz and above speed for your needs.
For gaming I like T-Mobile MDA better because of hardware keys. Its much easier to fire or to jump. They put all the keys together on Tilt, so makes very hard to do move and shoot at same time. I end up using keyboard on the screen to shoot and to jump.
IMO, MDA is better for gaming but the speed is at 200MHz unless you OC to 260MHz (stable).
After all, what you are looking at is hardware buttons & CPU speed for your games.

get a Dell Axim x51v -it's the best device for emulation

The only problem with the Hermes and games is that it has no diagonal movements on the joypad.

Still speaking of the x51v (sorry for my being pretty terse in my last post - I've sent it from my Universal and didn't want to thumbtype much), you may want to check out http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...s - for both games and productivity platforms to see how the x51v runs emulators.
If I were you, I'd stay away from all 2.8" HTC models because of the touch screen bug - you'll find it VERY irritating with emulators with on-screen controls / buttons (particularly if you press and hold them).

Thank you very much. That is indeed a grave matter and it is much more grave that HTC seems to do nothing against "bugs?", when you look at how old this problem is. Unbelievable that it is still there on the brand new Kaiser.
It seems that HTC is not very friendly towards customer reports (another example would be the missing 3d support on the new Qualcomm devices).
But maybe you can avoid this problem by using hardware buttons where possible.

One thing I didn't realize is that the Hermes has only a 5 way directional D-pad so there is no way to do diagonal moves.
Funny thing is my Touch can do diagonal moves play Bubble Bobble for instance but I can only map "left, right, up, down" so I assume it can tell that both Up and Left are being pressed at the same time.
Does the Kaiser have the same issue with the D-pad.

I would keep the Kaier if I were you. Your gonna be sorry when you have a hermes when the kaiser finally get's 3D drivers and an Overclock Utility. Also the hermes only has a 5-directional pad, while the kaiser can support all 9 directions =).
get the kaiser, there are many many games out there it will still play, including real ppc games, and ports for games, see my youtube video here:

You can, but on-screen tap areas (particularly with autofire - then, they require constant tap=and-holding) are REALLY great with MANY emulators.

... in what timeframe?
IMHO, having a cheap, non-gaming/emulation-oriented converged unit (not necessarily th Hermes) & getting a cheapo x51v is a better idea for the time being if he does need emulation.

I like the look of the X51v as a powerful emulation device, videos on Youtube really show it off, but the lack of a Phone means I would have to carry 2 devices around and it also looks a little on the large side.
I was looking at swapping my Touch for a Kaiser but after reading thread after thread about the poor Video/Game playback I have really been put off. If there was any encouraging news from HTC about driver support I may have given it a go but I don't want to swap my Touch when it can actually out perform the Kaiser in this respect. Although their is a Poll a lot of people on the forum don't seem to hold out much hope for this being sorted by HTC which is a terrible shame.
The Hermes looked a good second choice but after reading threads in the forum about problems with the D-pad (only 5 way - non diagonal) and the inability to correctly distinguish more than 2 button presses at the same time which can hamper action games I have again been put off. Other than the problems with the D-pad and keys this seemed to tick all the boxes for me.
Menneisyys you are the expert regarding Emulators here and thank you for your recomendation on the X51v. But could you recomend another device that is converged and would offer more power/hardware keys than the Touch.
Thanks for everyone's advice also!

pda for emulation? come on man, nothing's gonna be as good as a psp with a hacked firmware.

[REQ] Apps from Omnia for use on Diamond

This is really for the cooks to have a look at…
http://www.viddler.com/explore/WMExperts/videos/2/
The Omnia has some really great software features built in maybe some of them can be ported into a custom Diamond ROM by the cooks. Haptic feedback with sensitivity control, alarm app, barcode reader, google launcher, etc...
What do you think?

The interface is much smoother on the Omnia than the Diamond, very noticeable when he scrolls in the programs folder compared to the stuttery scrolling on the Diamond.
Would also love to see that zoom out then zoom in when the phone is tilted, that looks awesome
Samsung has done an excellent job on that interface.

Personally, I don't like much the Omnia interface, but one thing is a fact: Omnia is much much faster than Diamond...
HastaSSSS

That's really true!!!

Crap. Nothing more. You must realize, that Omnia redraw about cca 3.5 times pixels less than Diamond. That is all. That is why she is fater. Nothing more. Samsung did excellent work? Why? Let me prove my words - these benchmarks are from Omnia by SPB benchmark: CPU:1847 , Diamond: CPU: 2299, OK, and dont forgett that Omnia has 624 MHz CPU, But Diamond only 528! And he is still much faster. You may say that new Marvell 624 MHz CPUs are bad, but they are not - HP Ipaq 214 with same CPU as Omnia has 2500 spb benchmark CPU test points. OK, you could say that Omnia has 5500 points in graphic test, but Diamond only 1600 - yes, but Diamond has VGA screen. Ipaq 214 has VGA screen too, and has 1600 points too. So, Diamond graphic points are 1600*4. So, Samsung did relativelly bad job, compared to ather phones with same CPU like Omnia.

are you mad??? so U can count how long it takes to do the screen rotation and compare it to diamond with gsen, another thing diamond rotates VGA 640x480, Omnia only!!! WQVGA 240 x 400 so U can count again... and I ll give you my Diamond if samsung omnia will have such a forum and amateur development and support as Diamond

Yeah and also, the Omnia interface doesn't seem to use a lot of ressource, that is why it is fast.
Graphics from HTC Diamond are more beautiful => more ressource (RAM + CPU) => slower
That is all

Yeah, but it would be great if we had other alternatives to the Toucho3D, besides SPB mobile shell...

One of the great "features" with being a community is that some ppl will focus on those particular problems whereas another user might choose to focus on this.
I doubt that the problems that you list will be resolved quicker depending on whether someone chooses to try porting the UI used on the Omnia.
I would love to try out the Omnia interface, after all, the diversity of windows mobile is one of the stronger points in buying/using a HTC device, at least for me...

That is a very nice device! well thought out and great implementation of WM. I would definitely buy it for my kids!

Aww come on guys..
Not another "diamond vs omnia" thread.
We just wanna know if we can port the best of Omnia onto the diamond. Thats it!. I am looking forward to the haptic feedback though. I think our gurus can easily develop a similar one, but.. whos gonna do it?

Task Manager
One of programs I like in Omnia and want in my Diamond is the Task manager in one buton. Diamond only shows it in TF3D. If you are reading an e-mail you can´t switch to another program if you don´t go to today and click on task manager. Today I´m using SPB Pocket Plus that I can set one button to do the same of the alt+tab of a PC. It shows all the programs runign in background. Does anyone have another idea besides the SPB Pocket plus to do this?

I totally agree that this thread should not be another Omnia Vs Diamond thread.
I’m fully aware that the Omnia has a smaller screen resolution hence it has less work to do which is the reason the animations are smoother or appear to be faster. To be honest I’m not bothered about that.
What I want is for the cooks to look at the Omnia ROM and see if anything useful can be ported over to the diamond. If they have haptic feedback, why can’t we? If they have a task manager why can’t we? etc...

Omnia's TouchWiz UI on Diamond
Hi guys,
just wondering if anyone came across a cab file or or a rom dump of the Samsung's Omnia to install the TouchWiz UI on the Diamond or Diamond pro.
Could be interesting.
I'll start investigating.

please use the search button
you didn't investigate much did you
there is a thread here already

How about porting the Diamond interface to the Omnia? This is something I'd be interested in seeing.

Not impressed by current ROMs

Hey,
Firstly, I would like to thank all the developers for making efforts to develop a decent rom for the Xperia. I have tried every single one of them.
Unfortunately I couldn't fall in love with any of them.
Somehow I sense that it must me me that is doing something if other older HTC devices seem to be running way faster on customized roms than the experia with so much hardware potential.
Anyone has the same feeling?
Kind Regards

no.
EDIT: For the sake of order: I've used an HTC Trinity before, which was MUCH slower - even with ultra light roms and maximum free RAM. I compared with the TyTn II, which has just awful landscape-switching speed and was overall slower. Compared with the Touch Pro, I don't see any big differences - and if, with slight advantages for the X1.
So, no, I don't think the X1 is slow or not smooth enough. It just depends on what you're running. TouchFlo3D just slows the system down significantly - even on the (original) HTC devices (like Diamond, Touch Pro or Touch HD).

this is the same comments coming everytime there is a new device.
Look at in.ex polaris...ok device, a bit slow. Now it have optimized 2d and 3d drivers, its damn fast compared to what it used to be...but that didnt happen with a snap of our fingers..
we are just in the beginning of working on x1
So please, be as unimpressed as you want.
have a nice day
cheers

Well, one should not forget, that the x1 has 25% more pixels than Diamond or Touch Pro and even 400% more pixels than Tytn II & Co ...

Think HTC could have done better with the Diamond 2

A good buddy of mine has the new Diamond 2 and I have to say the phone looks real nice but the proformance to my option is slower than the Diamond 1,Didn´t like the touchflo at all and with the same navi TomTom and map as on the Diamond 2 and the Diamond 1 ,My Diamond 1 with TomTom ran a whole lot smoother ,the 5mp camera ,good and fine but still as slow as the 3,2mp camera in the Diamond 1,the way it looks to me that the Diamond 2 is just a rebuilt Sony Xperia,Come on HTC ,i think ya could have done better with the Diamond 2,at least a better processor ,longer lasting battery,could have added the WM6.5, to make it a lil more interesting,Diamond 2 NO THANK YOU ,wait to see if a Diamond 3 comes out

The diamond2 will have wm 6.5 when it's released.

The TD2 is way faster than the TD1, has much more memory and TouchFlo is very very sensitive. And the long screen is superb, when I looked at the TD1 after a few weeks I say such a small screen...
Really, it's better in every ways! (although the black looks and the diamond back of the TD1 are nice too...)

How is the battery compared to Diamond 1?

Diamond2 is by far a marked improvement on the diamond1 with out a doubt..........BUT has anyone else noticed the lag and lack of smoothness on tomtom!!!

The touch of Diamond2 is much better than the Diamond 1:
It seems almost a kind of screen capacitive like the iPhone!

I have had both. In fact, I have had two diamonds, touch pro, s740, etc. etc.
The Diamond 2 is way way faster then the Diamond. In fact its faster then the touch pro. The touch pro was always considered faster then the diamond due to the extra memory.
The TD2 is just super snappy. Pretty good condering all the extra pixels its pushing.
The battery is 1100 Mha comaperd to the diamond's 900 Mha. It shows.
Touchflow is much deeper integrated. Makes it better for touch using. Personally I like the stylus better, but I had an iphone for 2 months. Its a great phone, but not for me.
TD2 is nothing like the experia. Believe me.
As you haven't got a TD2, I would take your opinion with a grain of salt

Really??!!! That's funny....
I have both TD1 and a TD2 and I can tell you that the battery life on the TD2 is a BIG improvement.
Regarding speed..... you only need to look at the benchmarks to see which is the faster and we haven't even started cooking ROMs yet. The TD2 wins on every count.
I don't even know why I'm replying on this thread to tell you the truth, because as the saying goes "One man's meat is another man's poison" and it's useless trying to argue, but the truth is... the TD2 is faster and has a better battery life than the TD1. Fact.

Just have WM6.5 on my diamond with alot of tweakin on it hope to have my first rom out soon still testin

I moved from TD1 to TD2 a couple of weeks ago. Without a doubt the TD2 is significant better than TD1. In my scale of 10, the TD1 would be 6 whereas TD2 would be a 8 - a third better! Don't ask me how I got to these numbers; just pure happiness factor I guess!

Try the WVGA version of TomTom. This improves some of the icons but not all. The keyboard to input addresses is still small but the WVGA version is a bit better to see and use.

I came up with similar numbers as I upgraded as well. I think was at a 5.5 and bumped to around an 8.75.
