HTC Performance (overclocking) OEM

I think we'll rename this in the next kitchen to "HTC Sugar Pill".

j/k, kinda...

You know what's weird... if you pick the 624 speed, battery life sucks, *and* its slower. But the idle ma draw is unchanged.

If you run into Helmi_c, you have got to ask him about this oem

And yeah, 520 feels faster then off. Freaky.

I love it, placebo oem's...

So now that we basically agree this does not do too much...does anyone use anything else to overclock? XCPUScaler?

[guitardoc64]

Is there any way of checking to see if the processor speed is actually increasing?
I've been running at 520, and notice little if any, difference. Hadn't tried 624....

It's not. If it did, cpu benchmarks would have shown that.

See the early posts in this topic by me, where I did cpu benchmarks with this "overclock" and an actual real live overclocking app.

I have no idea what this is doing - it's doing something... just not doing anything to the cpu clock.

So, Luv's "sugar pill " designation is pretty well accurate

If I remember right, the OEM in BuildOS had helmi's name on it, so I tend to believe it's more than a sugar pill. Maybe it should be renamed "Helmi's Magical Mojo." My device does seem "snappier", so I just assume it's the result of some other process optimizations. Whatever, I'm keeping it unless helmi and luv confess that it's a practical joke.

Actually the credit in Build OS goes to Luv2chill. That said, it could still have errors (like the power save registry thing) that either get overwritten or otherwise garbled. I couldn't pretend to know half of what Helmi and Luv2chill have forgotten about WinCE OS, and was only reporting my personal findings about the OEM's performance.

same here, no point in removing it until its a confirmd dud. sure feels like it does 'something' to the performance... "Helmi's Lil Helper" is what i'll call it from now on...
