Overclock the Imagio

Update:
work fine with this post:

currently: i'm stable with 748Mhz, no SoD issue or hang up (2 days). (Install the overclock software in main memory)

I really appreciate it. I ended up going with this (I too take no credit for these guys work):

"
This is a How to overclock and NEVER get SoD (Sleep of Death) guide using a Touch pro2 and Topaz with pictures.

There are now 2 programmers developing overclock tools for Touch Pro2 phones. iwfratz's program works ONLY for the Touch Pro2 GSM version (for now) and is easy to work with, you just simply install and open the GUI and that's pretty much it. Netripper's works for a pretty big variety of different phones so try which ever one out and just use the one you like the most. Netripper's requires other programs/scripts to get it to run properly while iwfratz's works right out of the box.

This is the link to iwfratz's overclock progarm that's ONLY for the Touch Pro2, this is the program that I am currently using now. Anything below this refers ONLY TO Netripper's overclock program.

With HUGE thanks to oruam57 for making this program that auto under/overclocks your device with EASE! No more installing scripts or fiddling with the hardware buttons on your phone!!

1st, download and install the latest cab on the first page of this thread made my netripper.
2nd, copy the .dll file you find in the Program Files folder where msm7kCpuSpeed was installed into your \Windows folder
3rd, download and install the SetCpuSpeed-1.0.cab that is attached to this post that was made by oruam57 and cabbed by arguenter.
4th, read the instructions below and also the readme that comes with the cab and change the settings in SetCpuCpeed accordingly .

Cab file is courtesy of aguenter and this is what he originally posted along with the cab, note that the cab contains the same files that are in the the .zip of the same name.

oruam, hope you don't mind but I've cabbed up your v1.0 for people having trouble getting it to work from the zip. The CAB installs the exe, c++ source, registry values, and the StartUp shortcut.

* You must still ensure that Msm7kClockLib.dll exists in your \Windows directory. If it doesn't you'll need to copy it there from your Msm7kCpuSpeed installation folder.

* This CAB forces installation to \Storage Card\Program Files\SetCpuSpeed for safety purposes. If your locale doesn't use \Storage Card for the SD path or you don't have an SD card this CAB won't work for you.

* The default overclock speed is set to 633, and throttle speed is 604. To modify these speeds open your registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Msm7kCpuSpeed, and edit the PerformanceLevel and ScreenOffPerformanceLevel values in DECIMAL mode, NOT HEX. The speed values seem to be the same as they were in the script:

41=787 MHz
40=768 MHz
39=748 MHz
38=729 MHz
37=710 MHz
36=691 MHz
35=672 MHz
34=652 MHz
33=633 MHz
32=614 MHz
31=604 MHz
30=576 MHz
29=556 MHz
28=537 MHz
etc.

If your device fails to boot due to an unstable clock speed, pull the SD card and soft-reset, then lower the PerformanceLevel value in the registry per the instructions above. When you've done that you can reinsert the SD card and perform another soft-reset and everything should be fine. This is the purpose of forcing the CAB to install to the SD, it's a safety net.

Huge thanks to oruam and everyone else working to make this stable, the script was great but now that we have a native process it's even better! Without the MortScript overhead we no longer have the 1-2% constant CPU utilization and can squeeze even a few more MHz out of our Msm7k's.

Uninstallation procedure:

Killing oruam's process causes the device to hang, and because the uninstaller kills the process to remove the executable...well, you see the problem I'm sure.
To easily uninstall the CAB without problems perform these steps in order:

1) Pull SD card
2) Soft-reset
3) After WM/Sense/etc has loaded completely (and you get the error message about the shortcut target SetCpuSpeed.exe not being found), insert the SD again
4) Uninstall CAB

Major breakthrough in making this thing 99% complete! Thank you oruam57 for this program and netripper for making this all possible!

NOTE: For Topaz users your SAFEST overclock, I believe, is 691MHz, Rhodium users it usually is 710MHz.

If you still can't get this to work then send me a pm and I'll be glad to help , I can only tell you for sure that it works on Rhodium/Touch Pro2 because that is my device and no SoD but I did change the registry value "CheckTime" to 150 instead of 200.

But if it works for you, and no SoD, then why fix what's not broken ;p?"

I just tried this and it is working great. Jmart, thanks for your quick reply. I am too impatient sometimes! LOL

Update

Now that I have everything setup and running smoothly, I need to report that the max I can run the CPU is "40 = 768mhz" before things crash or lock up. Before I got the scripts that fix the SOD, I was able to run at 791mhz and then manually bring it back down to 604mhz before letting it go to sleep. I have found that 768mhz is plenty fast enough for me and my Imagio is running PERFECT!!! I am running an Energy ROM (the July 16th) and I believe that the phone is faster, more stable, and smoother than ever before!

Can you explain how you setup the scripts to make it downclock before it goes to sleep? are you using the setcpuspeed.exe? i have managed to find a stable idle speed of 633 even when going to sleep without a SOD anything higher and it will give me a SOD when going into sleep mode. please help us Imagio peoples!

MAX speed on mine before insta-lock 787 so she will run a 768 all day!

thanks!

MrWong,
Check out my earlier post #28. It explains it all. I got that information from the XDA website from the link in the first post in this thread.

forget all that mess just run SetCpuSpeed-1.0d.cab

set the MHZ to whatever you want. sleep to 604 & polling rate to 100.
itll auto overclock by itself & never crash/sod.

[thepolishguy]

@all overclockers- I know our batteries are pretty bad already (as with most phones with this resolution) -how has overclocking affected your battery?

thanks.

[Toysrme]

it doesn't change that much at all. sitting idle it's within a couple % of the power draw.

you would assume these mobile processors have much better power saving features than desktop CPU's. a good general rule of thumb for semi-modern desktop CPU's is for every 17% overclock there is a 10% power draw increase while under full load, while at the stock voltage.

you have more to gain in battery life by using WMLong Life & forcing 1x mode than you would loose with a 45% overclock rotf!

Thanks.seems snappier and I didn't want to go through the more detailed method. Do you have your clock speed maxed out? I'm always concerned to max out a speed setting...

[Toysrme]

ya it is. mine is stable to 825 but im running 768
