Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Well I thought i would start a thread here for those of us that are not aware of this development.
Over at xda a couple of apps for oc the tp2 have been created, I have been able to get Netrippers app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725290 to work on my Alltel tp1 for 30 days now rock solid at 710.
I did this by following Qzytor's guide for the Blackstone http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1191 with some modifications.

Netripper originally stated that his app only worked on AC power etc. and seemingly abandoned devolpment. lots of folks created scripts to get this working on the TP2 followed by Oruam57 creating setcpuspeed for the TP2 crowd that uses the dll from Netrippers original app. Others (including Qzytor) then modified registry settings for this that are beyond the capability of setcpuspeed to modify. Based on all these folks great work this is what I came up with that works for me on the TP1.

these are the modified instructions and registry settings I use

Install NetRipper's Msm7kCpuSpeed V.2 App. in your Device (installs needed files for this to work as well as a way to see your current speed)

Install oruam57's SetCpuSpeed v1.0d on SD card. (runs in the background to hold speed on AC power, avoid the infamous sleep of death associated with this overclock method and automatically sets speed at reboot)

Take SD card out and soft reset the phone.

now there are two methodsto complete the final step, either install SetCpuSpeed Touch Pro Settings.cab , reinstall sd card and soft reset

Or
Open registry.
Go to HKLM\Software\Msm7kCpuSpeed.
Edit the values as below:

BootTime = 90000 (This is important. This value gives enough time for the
phone to fully boot up. The phone has to fully boot up
before the OC kicks in)
CheckTime = 20 (Stable at 20, otherwise yoyos between base and OCed
cpu speed)
Command = 0
PerfomanceLevel = 37 (This speed is stable for me without SOD)
ScreenOffPerfomanceLevel = 20
SettlingTime = 10

each performance step is equivilant to 19.2 mhz

Close Registry editor, insert SD card in the phone and soft reset the phone.
Once the phone has fully boot up, give it a minute before opening NetRippers Msm7kCpuSpeed and you should see your OCed cpu speed.
If your OC cpu speed isnt stable then take your SD card out,soft reset the phone and registry edit PerfomanceLevel to a lower value.

To restore back to phone default speed and uninstall oc software:
Remove SDcard
Soft reset
Uninstall

Tank has made some cool cabs in post 2.

SetCpuSpeed Touch Pro Settings.cab will eliminate the hassle of opening a reg editor and imports the above reg edits for you

SetCpuSpeed-1.0dTouchPro.cab is as Tank states "a moddified cab of the SetCpuSpeed-1.0d.cab with the settings already installed". I have tested it and it does work, just cancel out of the install when it gets to the config part and it will finish the install fine.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***
always install setcpuspeed to sd card. this give you the ability to remove your sd card, soft reset and adjust your speed via reg settings or uninstall should your phone lock up due to the overclock

Here is the cab of just the Touch Pro Reg tweaks from above and I also made a moddified cab of the SetCpuSpeed-1.0d.cab with the settings already installed

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

camera opens fast as everything else also, some apps seem to hang though maybe i should try a lower speed? googlemaps stopped unexpectedly an error screen popped up saying that. and it just reset itself...
it seems to happen when i use gps in google maps. i just set performance level to 35 hopefully it will work better.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

A lower speed is probably the thing to try as we can only guess at the ability of different pieces of hardware to overclock in a stable manner. I would suggest perhaps going down 2 steps to 35 on the performance level key and see what happens.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

the 35 has seemed to fix googlemaps from crashing. sweet...

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

this should work on a diamond no??

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

it should, yes

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

benchmarked with sktools

Before
528 MHZ Integer 326.6096 moves/usec
528 MHZ Floating Point 7.603 mwips

After
710 MHZ Integer 441.6989 moves/usec
710 MHZ Floating Point 10.226 mwips

thats roughly a 35% increase in performance

How big of hit does this cause on battery?

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

It doesn't seem to cause much of any noticeable hit on battery life.
Try it, it does uninstall cleanly if it doesn't work out.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Wow thanks so much frizzlefry and tank. You guys made this so easy to overclock. I bumped into the xda thread and to be honest was scared away from trying to overclock my raph800. There were pages and pages with tons of posts that I did not want to shuffle through. Some how I ran into this thread and blammm!! ten minutes later my raph is overclocked with no hacking, or enabling gps. just installed some cabs and that was it!!! Too easy.

For everyone that wants to overclock their raph800, just follow the steps above and don't be afraid. It is well worth the the effort.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Yes, excellent post and easy to follow. Running at 710Mhz.. loving it!

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

May just be my phone but my battery life went down the shitter and would randomly freeze. It would probably work if I lowered the clock setting but I'd rather have the battery life. Thanks though!

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

sped sense up alot. i just flashed the newest energy 21xxx rom with CHT and dinik icons and before overclocking, the cht was sooooooooo sluggish, like sliding up to my shortcuts was almost glitchy slow. after overclocking its ALOT smoother and the slider moves alot more fluently. works great!

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

How long is your battery life with the overclock and what rom are you running? I'm just curious because I am running the latest NRG rom and it seems as though the battery lasts about the same as before the overclock. Heck, I know that it last a whole lot longer than running android on my phone. With android running I get about 2-3 hours of battery life, now that is sh**ty battery life.:grin:

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

The original thread states, "2) Only works while connected to AC power (depending on device)". But for our device it works on battery too. I wanted to point this out for for others thinking of installing.

Great work finding and tweaking for us frizzlefry.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Thanks for point that out. I will update the first post to clarify this.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

I was using LatROM 23569, and I got about 5-6 hours with the overclock. Normally I get around 2 days.. I think a lot of the battery drain was happening when my phone would "freeze"

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Thanks for summarizing what we needed into one post!
It's been running for about 30 minutes with these settings (for reference, when overclocking on my own attempts it would freeze about 5 minutes into it)
I will report back at the end of the day to let you know about battery life/any lock ups that occurs.
Thanks!

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Great post, thanks!! Working great @ 710Mhz

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

I installed this on my Sprint TP last night. So far so good. Worked right away with no issues that I can see. If battery life is affected it's nominal. I can't really see a difference. Running NRGZ Aug 12 Dinik Glass 23xxx.

Thanks!

And yes, I hit the thanks button!

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

I've had mine overclocked since about 4am and everything is running good. I on;y seem to see improvements in performance in a couple places, but every little bit helps. I'm on the Sept 8 Energy 21xxx Cookie ROM and after about 11 hours I was taken down to 30% battery life. More or less normal use. Palringo and moTweets running in the background all day, a few phone calls, SMS, a couple pics taken and some light facebooking via the app. Better than I could've expected.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Ok, I forgot to return, but better late than never.

It's been overclocked since Friday with the cab posted in the OP. Here's the results.
-Battery life is about the same. I didn't notice a difference whatsoever.
-Phone is much snappier opening programs, rendering things, and just generally faster. (a lot faster). Just one caveat which I'll talk about in a second.
-No noticeable increase in heat while in use (but the phone got so hot at stock I don't know if I would notice a difference).
- I've only had 1 lockup over the course of these last 5 days, otherwise the phone has been rock solid both taking and making calls.
-The one area I notice an actual DECREASE in speed was rendering flash content while in the opera browser. I used a flash toon off of newgrounds as a benchmark. While at stock speed, the animation was mostly smooth and played at what seemed to be a steady and fluid framerate (the video lagged behind the sound, but the animation was fluid).
Now the same video plays at a very choppy rate. I mean that it will play, stop, then continue playing. Like videos do when they have to keep rebuffering on a slow internet connection. This is just flash content within the browser, as any swf file I play off of my SD card via internet explorer is about the same framerate, if not a little bit better than before the overclock.

That one issue is not a big enough issue for me to care.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

I agree with roflhorse. Things work great with the overclock. The only issue I have really encountered with the overclock is trying to get Haret to run and boot Android. Every time I run Haret, the phone locks up. Other than this minor issue, the overclock is excellent.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Works great on a verizon touch pro. Had one lock-up 3 days ago, but good so far. Everything seems faster, but I sill can load Skyfire and Touchflo at the same time. Stupid RAM.

Running NSFAN's custom rom without touch flo.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Thank You!!!


it works excellent in my TP1

the downside, is my battery´s life, it impacts a little; but it needs an urgent replacement, is too old (w/o overclock, battery life also was bad)


EDIT: With default OC 710MHz my device frozen two times in a period of 8 hours; but now I tried with 691MHz (via reg. edit, PerformanceLevel=36 [dec]), and everything is perfect!, no practical difference in speed respect 710MHz ...And still noticeblement faster than 528Mhz stock speed
ROM: Energy 08 sept 2010, build 21xxx


It also works in the TP2?


thank you again, and thank to all developers for the hard work (sorry for my bad englissh)

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Same here with running Haret. I haven't booted Android in awhile. Tried it after reading your post. Locks up almost immediately after clicking Haret.

Other than that I've been running very nicely since the 17th of this month. Only done 1 soft reset since which ain't bad.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Ok I have this too. I didn't know if it was just me, or if it was a result of the OC. I just tried android yesterday.

Anyone have a work around for getting haret to boot?

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

This problem is a result of the overclock. I did a little searching on XDA as well as here and it is a known problem.

I have not found a work around but what does work is to reboot the phone and run Haret before the overclock kicks in. (I know this is crude and a pita, but it works.)

Another option is to do what jrebo is doing in order to boot Haret. Post #2 in this thread.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-...ould-know.html

Crude as well, but it works nonetheless.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Will this cverclock still be there if i flash to another rom or will i have to reapply this?

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

You will need to reapply.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

I am glad to hear that others are enjoying this.
Remember to vote so that others may have an easier time deciding whether or not to try it, I think they are missing out.:headbang:

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Firstly, thank you to all who worked hard to accomplish this.

Secondly, I've applied the settings and ensured that the registry values emulate what is listed in the OP, but...

my displayed speed is shown as 672, even after soft resets.

I've opened the SetCPUSpeed program in the program list, and picked 710, and then 692, soft reset, and when it reboots, it still displays 672 after a couple of minutes when I open the Msm7KCPU program.

Any thoughts?

Oh, duh! Is it because I have the performance level set at 35? Was reading someone's post re: GoogleMaps (I use that a lot, and want to make sure it works, so I set the PL at 35).

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Can you guys post your speeds? My Fuze is freezing ~600mhz. I have lowered my screen off level to 16 (~307Mhz) in an effort to increase battery life. Could that be the problem?

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Can someone explain for those of us that are tech challenged what the above registry values actually mean?

Also, with the SetClockSpeed prgm, what is the difference between the 'clock speed' and the 'throttled clock speed'?

Thnx

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

This is directly copied from oruam's readme contained in the zip xda-developers - View Single Post - [APP] Msm7kCpuSpeed - Overclock Raphael/Diamond/Topaz/Rhodium/Blackstone/Whitestone.

SetCpuSpeed V1.0
SetCpuSpeed uses Msm7kClockLib.dll (from Msm7kCpuSpeed application developed by NetRipper, [APP] Msm7kCpuSpeed - Overclock Raphael/Diamond/Topaz/Rhodium/Blackstone/Whitestone - xda-developers) to over and underclock the CPU.

Requirements and compatibility
SetCpuSpeed was developed for HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) with WM6.1 and it critically depends on Msm7kClockLib.dll that should be present in \Windows directory. It may be working on other HTC phones that use the same CPU (Rhodium, Raphael, Blackstone, Whitestone) but the test is up to you.

Install
Install Msm7kCpuSpeed application. If Msm7kClockLib.dll is not installed in \Windows directory copy it there.
Copy SetCpuSpeed.exe somewhere in your phone, run it and check its working (see Usage below).
When satisfied in \Windows\Startup directory create a link to SetCpuSpeed.exe with parameter "/boot". Set BootTime value (see Parameters below) to a value large enough to allow you to kill SetCpuSpeed.exe with a task manager after soft reset.
Soft reset your phone and wait. If the phone freeze soft reset again, kill SetCpuSpeed.exe before it changes the clock, lower PerformanceLevel value and try again.

Uninstall
If present remove the link to SetCpuSpeed.exe from the \Windows\Startup directory, then soft reset. After that you can safely delete SetCpuSpeed.exe.

Parameters
SetCpuSpeed working depends on some parameters it gets from registry under the keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Msm7kCpuSpeed. All the values are DWORDs.
File SetCpuSpeed.reg can be used to set the default values using a regeditor that can import it (examples are Dotfred's Task Manager, Dotfred's TaskMgr, and SKTools, SKTools features).
Command - (default value: 0) - If set to 1 SetCpuSpeed reloads the parameters and restores Command to 0. If set to 2 SetCpuSpeed restores Command to 0 and terminates itself.
BootTime - (default value: 20000) - If run with parameter "/boot" SetCpuSpeed waits BootTime milliseconds before acting on the clock.
CheckTime - (default value: 200) - SetCpuSpeed checks the CPU clock every CheckTime milliseconds.
SettlingTime - (default value: 10) - Time to wait after restoring CPU clock to safe value (604 MHz).
PerformanceLevel - (default value: 33) - This is the overclock factor, the CPU clock is approximately PerformanceLevel * 19.2 MHz (e.g. 33 * 19.2 = 633.6 MHz).
ScreenOffPerformanceLevel - (default value: 9) - This is the underclock factor, the CPU clock is approximately ScreenOffPerformanceLevel * 19.2 MHz.

Usage
SetCpuSpeed works this way.
1 - When the phone is about to suspend (for the user pressing the Power button or due to power timeout) SetCpuSpeed sets the CPU clock to the safe value (604 MHz) to prevent SOD.
2 - If SetCpuSpeed is called with parameter /screenoff it undercloks the CPU according to ScreenOffPerformanceLevel. The CPU remains underclocked until the screen is switched off and then on again or until the phone is suspended and then resumed. If you have TouchLockPro installed ([APP][Updated 1-4-2010] TouchLockPro 2.12.8 *NEW* with Proximity sensor support - xda-developers) SetCpuSpeed will also make the screen go off.
3 - When the phone resume from suspend or the screen return on SetCpuSpeed overclocks the CPU according to PerformanceLevel value.

USUAL LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Use SetCpuSpeed at your own risk! NO WARRANTY! Although running this application does not seem to produce any damage on my phone, I take no responsibility for any kind of damage or major or minor inconvenience caused to devices or data or person or whatever else due to this application and its usage.

OC increased my battery life!!!
 

I don't know about anyone else, but I have actually seen an improvement in by battery life with this OC mod.=D>

I had a stock battery, was crap, as everyone else's; having to place on charger 1-2x/day.

Decided to get the 3000mAh Mugen. Even that started to show a quick drain throughout the day from full charge.

But over the past 24hrs since I installed this OC mod, my % reading on the battery has decreased very little since taking it off the charger this morning. It is now 13hrs later, and it reads 93%. Last week, it would have read <60% by now.

Don't know why, but in my book, that's a BIG +.:grin:

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Okay, so it was working fine for about a day or two.

Now I can use it for one application / pgm, and then it freezes.

I've only got it set on 672. I'm using Calkulin's Alltel 30 ROM.

I've reflashed the ROM, and haven't tried the OC yet again. If I do, I think I'll start one step above 528, and go up from there.

Anyone else with freezing after a couple of days?

It's a shame too, as I stated earlier, it was massively extended my readable battery %.

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

So, should I just install those two cabs on the first post?

Re: Netripper overclock working on touch pro 1
 

Yes, I think that's how it works. Install the one file to the SD card as stated, and the other most-likely to the device.

That's how I did it.
