overclock the expo - eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ Themes and Apps

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682663
I just wanted to point out the the leo/hd2 cpu speed app works on the expo.

Installed great, but I cant verify the reclock speed... Im not sure if it is running faster or not. What speed did you set yours to?

i just left my cpu at the default.

Interesting little program, found that my Expo was stable up till 1115, and anything above that it froze. But basically you have to be plugged in to use anything about the 900 MHz, so, unless you want to disable auto-scaling on the CPU it's not of much use.

yeah I am quite disappointed that lg did not make an extended battery for the expo.

Overclocking XDAIIi

how do I overclock the XDA IIi , I heard there is software Pocket Hack Master 2005. Is it safe to overclock the XDA IIi?
If you try it the turbo mode in the speed settings in the control panel will be unavailable. It'll be the same as standard mode. Also the max clockspeed of the gfx chip/part wil be aft 54 Mhz instead of 108 Mhz which was set by the turbo mode. The latest version does work stable but that's about it. No real speed advantage to be gained because of the above. Perhaps some battery saving but since most of the power goes to the display I don't really see the use of getting a few extra hours of standby time from this while games slow down because of CPU usage polling. For the Alpine IMHO this is just something that is overhyped and not worth the hassle it brings.
I am using xcpuscalar_v2.88 to overclock my i-mate PDA2,the max speed i was able to use is 624 MH and it is very stable and all games and apps are running ok.
You may need to shut it off b4 you use the camera.
Otherwise it is very stable and fast,also saves power as it scales down the cpu to whatever speed your want.
xcpuscalar_v2.88
Thank you
me too, working fine with 624Mhz......unlike previous v2.87 crash with my XDA IIi !

I think this is an excellent point.
I use my XDAIIi extensively for business use and was close to junking it - due to all the crashes and freezes I was suffering.
Then... I turned OFF Turbo Mode. I still use it extensively... only it doesn't crash anymore! The only problem I'm getting from time to time is needing to restart the phone via Flight Mode to be able to get a GPRS connection after using ActiveSync.
I own a licence for XCPUScalar, but haven't bothered to reinstall it or try the new version yet. I can't honestly say I've noticed any difference between Standard and Turbo Modes.
Go figure!
last stable frequency is 617 mhz .
Run mode is 247 x 2.5
Bus is 247
Lcd is 61
Memory is 123
Anyone more ?
Yeah...guess I shouldn't listen to things I read. Now my pocket PC has hard resetted.
I use v3.03 and my IIi works well upto 624Mhz. No crashes etc.... However as has been said already, the camera does not work properly with it, but if you downclock the CPU to 108Mhz then it's fine. I rarely use the camera anyway (i have a proper camera instead!!) so it's never a problem.
XCPU scaler 3.03 make my IIi hang, nothing more than that.
It shouldn't be hanging. It's more stable than previous versions i've used. Works great for me. I'd try uninstalling it, then removing any leftover files manually, then reinstall.

Is the info from statusbattery accurate?

Hi, I just got a TMO Wing. Thanks for many threads here, I downloaded Statusbattery and overclocked my wing to 247. It works great. I have a question regard the accuracy of batterystatus. I underclocked to 156Mhz just to save battery yesterday so it can last a bit longer until I can recharge it at home. However, I found that the current drain shown in batter status is 177mA. I changed it back to 201 MHz, it show 112 mA, but if I overclocked it to 247mA, it showed 64mA. What just happened? Is something wrong with my phone? I thought that the lower the clock goes, the less current it drains. And all the cases were when Wifi and bluetooth disable. Only the phone option is on. No other background app is running.
Best regards
it's called batterystatus, first of all
anyway. Its possible that the amperage meter refreshes at a different rate than the clock speed. Or it could just be that it's wrong.
Its also possible that the processor is being actively used, even if nothing else is running.
It also could be that a slower clocked processor needs more power to get things done than a faster one because it takes a longer. The faster clockspeed finishes quickly, so it can idle at 64mA.
Your guess is as good as mine. Try setting it low, then waiting a while

Overclocking App available in the market!

Hey everyone, there is an overclocking app in the market, anyone care to give it a try?
Edit: So I downloaded it lol. Here are some screenshots. BTW, is there anyway I can verify that the cpu freq is actually being adjusted?
*Just for fun I ran neocore to see if it would raise my FPS. lol.
just notice the difference in speed. If you notice please post. And its not overclocking its just clocking. Overclocking will be beyond 528 MHz

The app is called Overclock, you can argue with the developer about the name not me.
Anyways, I do notice a very nice speed increase.
For example, atrackdog would take me at least 20-30 seconds to load my full app list (184 apps)
After installing overclock, it loaded in under 5 seconds.
i'll run other programs, and post my results.
I ran droidgear (game gear emulator) before and after, and I can honestly say it was faster (not a placebo affect).
-Before: droidgear would take over 4 minutes just to get to the menu screen
-After: i was actually able to load a game in under 1 and a half minutes, I even let it sit to run the demo, and it is the fastest ive ever seen an emulator run on this device (compared to NesEmu, and GB emu)
It would probably actually be playable if tweaks were made to the application codebase, and android Open GL stack.
Also, the camera loads instantly after pressing the camera button and via the icon in the home screen.
well, i was too, and then i downloaded it and said "aahh, what the hell, if i break mine, ill just take my wifes haha..." probably not the best of plans but i installed it anyway
sooo i havnt burnt up my phone yet, but here is my issue with the app, does the app only work untill you reboot your phone?
because when i reboot my phone, it goes back to the default speed according to the app
also, my phone tends to hang up (stuck on the apps screen, no buttons work, screen wont rotate, power button wont shut screen off) when using the 528MHz
so far, i havnt found a reason to pay a dollar for it, but ill keep testing
[UPDATE]
resolution for all below tests is 320 x 480
i tried neocore like posted above, using the mid level setting, and i actually did raise my fps from
DEFAULT CPU (248 MHz): 20.5 (with sound off)
384 MHz: 25.0! (with sound off)
DEFAULT CPU (248 MHz): 14.5 (with sound on)
384 MHz: 20.8 (with sound on)
still havnt gotten the fast speed to work yet, but im still trying to figure that out, on another note, sweeter home does seem to load a little faster
[UPDATE]
Incase you didnt see my sig, im not running on a ADP1 phone, so that might by why the fastest setting doesnt work for me, but so far 384MHz is making a noticeable difference with NEOCORE and SWEETER HOME

i use snap photo, which used to take FOREVER to load up on my g1 using the camera button, its significantly faster using the 384MHz setting, good observation
Ok, so so far here is a list of things ive noticed (using 384MHz vs 248MHz):
-FPS in NEOCORE increased on adverage 5 to 6 fps
-Sweeter Home doesnt lag NEARLY as much as it used to (ALOT less force closes)
-Snap Photo doesnt take a month to load using the camera button
-G1 Wakes up properly which was a issue my g1 (and others on this forum) had
-Even though the app says it will "kill" the battery, using 384MHz during normal use of the phone isnt "killing" my battery, however, doom (while runs better (even with sound on)) seems to be dropping my battery level faster, but the game is running faster, which is the trade off id expect when running these apps together
At this point is there really a need? My phone doesnt lag that much that I need to over clock not to mention my battery life sucks already.

all of our battery life sucks unless you have the extended battery, im not getting THAT big of a battery drain according to the system monitor app, and it DOES make a difference on g1's that have lag issues (running tons of apps like i do)
in other threads, people have complained about the g1 not waking up quickly sometimes, ive yet to have that issue since ive clocked mine up to the 384MHz setting
@woot, you do know that the default cpu freq on the G1 is ~384mHz. So you might want to change in your sig that you're overclocked to 384mHz lol.
The program installs a script on your sd card called ocx_tmp.sh and adjusts it that way, it'll write to /system as -rw (from what I've discussed with someone) would probably cause instability.
The program will reset the cpu freq back down to 384mHz after the phone sleeps. You can verify this in terminal emulator by typing:
$su
#cat /proc/cpuinfo
Try it before and after setting the cpu freq in overclock and you'll see what I mean =)
I thought the the CPU ran at 528 MHz by default? Or is it clocked dynamically and this forces it?

im not as familiar with clocking/overclocking so i wasnt sure if i was clocking it to 384, overclocking it to 384, or what, so what would be the proper thing to put in my sig? lol because according to my first quote, true overclocking wouldnt be untill i went beyond 528, so from the view of my first quote, im not OVERclocking, im clocking, wheras your saying im overclocked

so is it infact the program thats changing the cpu freq or is it the phone? if its the program, is this to avoid overworking the cpu without the demand?

no, it runs at 384 by default, and clocks down even lower in the idle loop.
i am curious how this program works, as the normal cpufreq interfaces are not compiled in the kernel.
i've been running my phone for several months now at 528mhz, at a fairly minimal detriment to battery life.
i did however notice that without modifying the idle loop, the amount of cpu frequency switches even while the phone is not sleeping drops your average clock within a 10 second period to somewhere closer to 400mhz.
after modifying the idle loop to not switch frequency so often, i was able to get 27.4fps out of neocore w/o sound, and 22.7fps w/ sound.
my overall caffeine benchmark score was 582.
battery life impact is there, but fairly small. phone lasts for about a day and a half now where it used to last for sometimes 2. under heavy use, this is of course dramatically reduced.
gui fluidity is definitely increased, and sluggishness between app switches and when the translucent app drawer opens up is gone. i like it, but to the average person there probably is no need to do it.
keep in mind this is also not overclocking the cpu, it's clocking it to its default spec. as it is an embedded arm, it is designed to run hot, so i guarantee you are in no danger of hurting your phone.
also, do not listen to people that claim there could be no gain from overclocking, just because the bus speed is slower than the cpu speed does NOT mean there will be no improvement in system performance. if that were the case, there'd be no use for 4ghz desktop processors.
cache still runs full speed, and common execution paths stay in cache meaning no prefetch from system memory, meaning BIG improvement in many cases. (that's why cache exists.)

gui fluidity and responsiveness is greatly improved. sluggishness if app switching and the translucent app drawer are completely gone.
for many i imagine this means there isn't really any reason to clock the cpu up to its stock speed, but to each their own.

care to write up a how-to for getting the 582 consistantly and changing the idle loop?
Holy crap. Used this @528MHz with Haykuro's version 4.5 apps to sd ROM and the osk works SO MUCH BETTER!!!! Also I got 25.6 fps on neocore... very smooth

writeup? no. it's a big process involving the android dev environment, a modified version of mkbootimg and unyaffs.
i will gladly post the kernel modifications for those who want to recompile the kernel to do so.
the bootloader sets the clock speed, and the idle loop simply clocks down to a preset and back up to whatever it was previously after x milliseconds of inactivity (not to be confused with sleep) it's kind of a poor man's cpufreq arbitrator.
so on top of tweaking the idle loop to not drop down as often, you also have to explicitly set the frequency in the kernel upon bootup, or it will bet set at what it thinks is full speed, which is 384.
A modded version of JF's ROM would ROM.
I DO notice the sluggishness and it bugs the heck out of me. (I switched from a WING with a 200MHz CPU, and although it IS faster than the wing, it doesn't seem significantly faster and seems to much slower when I open up the camera...

that involved eh?
thanks for this post though, now i understand more about the idle loop and why the cpu freq resets with each reboot
maybe someone can take this stuff further like he said, that kind of stuff would be worth the dollar, imo more than a dollar
well... i don't mind providing basic procedure and source, i just don't want to get dragged into level 1 support of the procedure.
i'll go ahead and package up some source, prebuilt boot images based on JF's RC33 (which is what i run) and a basic procedure.

X1 overclock...

My smug friend just got his N900 up to 800mhz. And i want to get into the competition, is there any way to overclock the X1?
Sorry, the MSM720X chipset is really bad at overclocking, there's the app "nueDynamicClock" which CAN overclock but with huge issues, and small advantage...

It's actually called NueOverclockTest, but you are right, it's terribly unstable and will freeze your phone 95% of the time. When it works, however, it's very nice.
No2Chem, the only developer who seems to know how to overclock the Xperia processor, dropped off the face of the earth in September 2009. My theory is that Qualcomm kidnapped him and is forcing him to use an underclocked Palm M505 as torture.

Xperia X1 "overclock"
Ive been investigating the same situation because i would love it if my X1 ran faster to keep up with more modern smartphones out on the mark these days. So heres what ive found out thus far;
- With stock settings, the Xperia X1 cpu (im using MSM7201A 528mhz cpu) is actually underclocked to 384mhz when the battery is being used, and then further underclocked to ~225mhz when the phone idle's for 5000ms.
- However when you apply external power to the phone, the cpu core runs at its full 528mhz speed. I found these power saving techinques employed by HTC or SE or QUALCOMM to be useless, because ive been running my phone at full speed, highest voltage, and the battery life difference is un-noticable.
- Here what you should do to at least make sure your X1 is running at 528mhz (which made WM actually significantly faster) to give yourself a psuedo-overclock;
1. Download "nueDynamicClock-122-v1.3-pack.zip" which i have attached to this post. Extract, copy the contents over to your X1 and run the SETUP file from your PHONE
1b. If you get a security error, you have to install the "EnableRapi.cab" file which i have also attached
2. Once installed, the cpu frequency settings can found it you click on Starty >> Settings >> System. There is a new "processor" icon, and all the settings can be found in there.
The program is very flexible on how you and when you want your processor to run so experiment to find your best needs. I keep my processor set at a constant 528MHZ @ 1.325V and i get the best performance out of that.
Anyways hopes this helps, give some feedback if possible. CHEERS :
I have just try it and it's look to be really faster on battery !!!
I will see for power consumption and stability in some days but the first thing is impressive !
Thanks
have you noticed anything with battery consumption yet? the only changes ive noticed are the obvious, such as running/watching near 720p quality videos on battery power and multitasking the **** out of the phone. overall general performance has definately increased from my experience, and i am glad i found this tool. Couple it with the right rom and you now have one of the fastest windows mobile phones (besides HD2) on the market. YAYAYAY! xperia x1 is still useful!!!
Yes I can confirm now that the battery consumption is not different than before !!! and for the moment, no bug at all!
And the speed of the phone is definitivly better !!!
Very great !
I'm surprise to don't see more reply on this topic, this soft is a must to have !!!! My Xperia will have some nice day more
I'm gonna install it and try it as soon as I wake up tomorrow
I will try this one and see the difference.. thank you for the tip..
Thank you for your tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers mate works like a charm even when changing panels. everything loads faster even the coreplayer. I have X1i with the R3A rom 528MHZ @ 1.325V
everythings stable also thanks alot!
I'm quite skeptical. I'm pretty sure that the X1 is NOT underclocked when on battery power. If someone shows me before/ after benchmarks, I'll be a believer, but I think this is the placebo effect.
If overclocking works, it will also speed up the boot time, won't it?
I've tried independently on counting startup time. But I don't see different between Max Performance and Default.
Anyway, is it safe if I try it on X2?

there is an option in the app which is for starting the app after the boot sequence...that should be the reason why there is no difference in boot time
to all you haters
ok first of all;
1. everyone HAS TO REMEMBER that i first ran this application on a STOCK R3A ROGERS CANADA ROM. what i reported is what i noticed, and the difference between the OS running at 384mhz and 528mhz on battery certainly isnt a "placebo" effect. You might be using a different rom, where the cook changed the cpu frequency settings himself but i certainly dont know. If you dont believe me that is underclocking issue is actually an issue, i suggest you google search the topic and check out how many hits you get.
2. The Xperia X2 is running the exact same MSM7201A 528 mhz cpu soo X2 owners should definately check to see if their cpu's are underclocked.
3. Finally i was just trying to help, i love my X1 and i want people to love their X1's too.
ENJOY EVERYONE lets keep this phone ALIVE
installing it right now...
Its amazing.

hi,i was able to oc my x1 to 672 mhz using the guide in the htc hd forum.try it out.the phone fell faster than ever.

Suckerpunch #50 not running at 1.4ghz??? *RESOLVED*!!!!

Ok. i have refraind from asking questions for quite some time. I have lurked, and read and read and read. i learned how to flash roms and kernels and most otherthings i want to do without bothering anyone with noob questions...up until now.
I flashed the suckerpuch #50 kernel in attempts to try out 1.4ghz, but unless im completely missing something my phone dosnt ever seem to go above 1 ghz on this kernel. im not positive this is the case, but heres what leads me to beleive it:
cpu usage widget on my screen never shows above 1ghz, while a different 1.2ghz OC i tired shows it peaking up to 1.2 right after boot, and if i exit quadrant it shows 1.2 for a sec before dropping back down, same with any 3d game, when i quickly close it and look at the widget, it will show running at 1.2. Yet suckerpuch never shows above 1.0 UNLESS i run CPUsetting and set it to "performace" which it then appears to be running at 1.4 AT ALL TIMES, and the phone isnt stable so thats a no go.
am i missing some key piece of information here? did i flash it wrong? is there some other type of modification i need to do to get it to actually run at 1.4?
ive read through the suckerpunch #50 opening posts multiple times and i believe it tells me i need to modify some file or other, possibly, but im not understanding.
any info/help would be much appreciated!
P.S. this forum, the devs, and all the things supplied to make my phone awesome are absolutley great.
I believe SuckerPunch is set to 1Ghz as default unless you change the setting with Voltage Control (or SetCPU). Mind you that 1.4Ghz is not run well on a lot of devices and may cause freezing. And I'm glad some people take up reading before asking questions
p.p.s- im aware not to use set CPU.
honestly i cant see the point of it with any kernel. dosnt seem to do anything.

yeah im using voltage control- minus 125 on all and the phone seems to work well.
i just find it weird that the kernel peaks at 1ghz, where as another peaks at 1.2ghz (both without use of setCPU, and WITH use of Voltage control)
when i was using setCPU and putting it on performance, i could see it was running at 1.4, pretty much at ALL TIMES. MOST things ont he phone worked well, ultra fast. the problems i noticed is that neocore would freeze (which i understand to be a sign of instability) and speedtest would either give me REALY slow speeds, or force close every time. were as set on conservative it would work perfectly and neocore wouldnt freeze.

I guarantee you you cannot run -125 at 1.4GHz, unless you have some kind of wonder-phone.
In Voltage Control, you're set to 1.4GHz, correct?
If you are, have you made sure to enable the 1.4GHz state in Voltage Control via the bottom menu as well? If you don't, even though you're set at 1.4GHz it will not run at that.

If you are, have you made sure to enable the 1.4GHz state in Voltage Control via the bottom menu as well? If you don't, even though you're set at 1.4GHz it will not run at that.

my bad, im running -125 on i think its the gb 1.2ghx kernel. thats working fine.
im going to reflash #50 and try what you said.....though im pretty sure i already had it set. i know i was setting the mv from 100 up to 1400
ok i flahsed back to #50, and went into voltage control. it DID cap my freq at 1000, i changed it and set 100 through 1400 to -75mv.
i ran stress test for about 30 seconds and exited, and my CPU widget shows 99% usegage at 1ghz
hmm
i flashed back to gb reorient 1.2ghz and during boot up as soon as the CPU widget loaded it shows 1.2ghz. ran stress test again and exited in the middle of it, widget showed 99% usage at 1.2ghz.
i realyl dont know what im missing here, but it does seem as thought the suckerpunch #50 is not running above 1ghz for me.
comparing all forms of benchmark type tests between the two kernels, everything EXPCEPT necore is scoreing better on the 1.2 kernel. neocore onthe 1.3 kernel is giving me 55.4 fps, whereas on the 1.4 kernel its giving me 65 and some change fps. i know benchmark scores arent that meaningfull in some cases, and on the #50 thread it even states that some may be lower on that kernel.......but i swear ive done something wrong because i dont see how it can be running at 1.4

Like I said in my previous post, are you actually enabling the frequencies or just selecting 1.4GHz as the max in Voltage Control?
You have to enable 1.4GHz in the "states" menu of Voltage Control for it to work, as well as set 1.4GHz as the max in Voltage Control. SuckerPunch does not overclock by default because a lot of phones do not play nicely with 1.4GHz.

ha. this had me confused......there was no "states" menu. that got me pokeing around and then i realized i didnt have the newest version of voltage control(had 2.0 instead of 3.0). i do NOW. and i see the option to select the states. so, i selected 7 states up to 1400. and selected the max frequency of 1400. set a voltage for all, and applied.
still the same result. lol. its not running over 1ghz according to cpu stats. it SAYS it frequency range is from 100 to 1400. but it aint going over 1000.
*sigh* there has to be something else im missing
For suckerpunch's new builds, it's set to startup at 1ghz. After like 15mins. you can run some tests and it should be at max clock.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS WORKING! and dayum i see and improvement in stats! benchmarks look fantasitc, neocore isnt freezeing, phone isnt freezing on lockscreen.....will have to run stress test for a while to see for sure but it appears stable!
1400 -50
1300 -50
1200 -75
1120 -75
1000-75
800- 100
600-100
400-100
i really cant figure out the right way to do that, but it seems to be working so far
for one, i needed the newest version of voltage control.....for two, im thinking that i was supposed to wipe the davik cache before install, because it did a different song and dance when i did that. for three.....for whatever reson the 1000hz version didnt seem to want to work for me....and finally....waiting for a while after the phone booted up i did see the CPU start to jump up to 1.4.
thanks guys!
