Anyone want to OVERCLOCK their Touch Pro2?

I was over at XDA last night and ran across some info posted by phhusion about a command line switch that allows for overclocking of the MSM7600 system under android.

It only raises clock speed and doesn't mess with voltage to the chipset so it should be ok to use. HOWEVER WITH THAT SAID NOBODY ON XDA OR PPCG ARE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE.

He posted that several Rhods have been running at 768Mhz for over a month without any issues.

He believes that the theoretical top speed would be 1.2Ghz but that our device would crash before we could get it that high.
I tried 700Mhz, and 768Mhz and they both seemed stable... a nice jump from 528mhz.
Just for fun I tried 968Mhz but it just locked up while loading Haret.
This is the cmd line switch you need to add to the cmdline text in your startup.txt remember to add it before the keyboard entry.
Replace the XXXXXX with the frequency you want in Khz not Mhz.

"acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX"

You have to enter speeds in Khz though so
528000 = 528Mhz Stock speed
700000 = 700Mhz
768000 = 768Mhz Reported to be stable
And so on.

I tried it and it works, but I still have some lag in Android that I think is SD card related only have a class 2 and class 4 cards to work with, I'm sure once we get around to nand flashing it will be more beneficial to overclock.

I haven't really noticed any battery change but under Android it doesn't last too long anyways when you are actually using the device.
Using the battery monitor app on android it seems that a full charge is about 4.6 and when it gets down to 4.1 you have less than 10% when you get back to WM. - just my personal exp.

Good luck, post some stable speeds and we can have some fun with a faster device!

Can someone please post or PM me a startup.txt with the overclock mod? I keep getting errors when I try

mine crashed when trying the 768mhz, but worked with the 700mhz.
I also added the 3d acceleration support, here's my startup.txt:

set RAMSIZE 0x6000000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000

set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz

#pwf dm.txt 0x8e0000 0x20000

set cmdline "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=700000 hw3d.force=1 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=2,1,3 lcd.density=240 htc_hw.force_cdma=1 physkeyboard=rhod400"

boot

Key to the startup.txt's is you can't put anything after "physkeyboard=x" put all your stuff before that with a space after each one. This will be fixed they say in time but currently, the physkeyboard must be last.

I know this going to sound completely noob , and it is . But hey if you don't ask . I need to know if someone can give me the exact path to follow to do this (OVERCLOCK my phone ) . Step by step if possible . Also , what do I use to do the change ( Reg Editor , Total Commander , etc. ) . I'm not completely new to modding my phone . It's just I haven't done anything like this yet . Thanks in advance for the help .

Can you show the text for reference? I have 2 different things that say something like keyboard: "msmvkeyb_toggle=off" and "physkeyboard=rhod500 htc_hw.force_cdma=1 " It didn't work at the first of the two locations...started booting then returned to WM with a reboot.
