Omapclockplus on 8125
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: dwcliff703

I have downloaded and thought I understood how to use omapclock and omapclockplus on my 8125 for overclocking. After installing I open omapclockplus and choose 240 MHz and push the 'register' button. After a soft reset the phone will run at about that speed (even though omapclockplus doesn't show the option to 'unregister' - its grayed out), but after the PDA has been in standby mode for quite a while and taken out of standby the increased speed is lost. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help. PS When the unit is running at 240 MHz I am really amazed at how much sweeter it is to use!!

Follow this verbatim and everything will work....its what I did and mine has worked for months now....

Here are the step-by-step directions.

1. Download the following file and unzip. Save the OmapClock.exe to your \Windows folder on your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9181

2. Open File Explorer on your device and open Omapclock.exe. Find the maximum speed that your device will handle without locking up. On each test, test all applications you use. This is important because once you place this in your startup, it will load up automatically and could cause your device to stop responding! 240Mhz works for me. Suspending the device at this point will cause the speed to be reset back to default. Execute Windows\OmapClock.exe again if this happens and you want to continue testing.

3. Download and install Resco File Explorer 2005: http://resco.net

4. Open Resco Explorer and go to the \Windows folder. Locate the OmapClock.exe file and hold the stylus on this file until menu pops. Choose “Copy”.

5. Now browse to \Windows\Startup then hold stylus in an empty area and when menu pops, choose paste shortcut.

6. Hold the stylus on the newly created OmapClock shortcut and choose Properties then click the Shortcut tab.

7. Target should be: “\Windows\OmapClock.exe” –clock 240
Change the 240 to the clock speed you tested in step 2 above.

8. Soft reset and test. Suspending the device will reset the device back to the default speed. This is a secondary test to make sure the device does not lock up!

9. Download and install DinarSoft MemMaid: http://www.handango.com/PlatformProd...23995&R=123995

10. Open MemMaid and choose the Notification queue button/tab on the bottom (second from left) then click the ADD button.

11. For Program, click the browse button and browse to the shortcut you created in steps 5-7. The location of the shortcut is \Windows\Startup.

12. From the event dropdown choose “The device woke up”.

13. Click Add.

14. Soft reset and you are done. The Clock speed will remain at the specified speed you specified in step 7 even when the device comes out of suspend.

Thanks so much for the detailed instructions!! So the key is the added program...MemMaid. It causes the cpu speeds to reset to 240MHz at every startup? I've never used MemMail before. What other features do you use from this handy program?

Im sure there are other things to use it for but thats the only reason i used it.

There is a today plugin out there somewhere named battery status that can control the speed of omap. I don't remember where I got it but it works pretty well.

do not set it to overclock at 300.. im doing a hardreset right now cause i did it just to see what it would do... .. the answer is it reboots forever..

not really a big deal cause i synced it before tring it..

but yes 300 and the 8125 do not mix.

240 was the highest I could set mine and remain stable. Above that speed most programs seem to lock up.

Thanks! Awesome. Performance for some things is significantly better. My biggest complaint about the 8125 was speed, and this really helps! Those directions were easy enough for anyone to walk through.

I didn't even have to pay for Memmaid, although I suspect I will be getting a reminder on my device in a few weeks that it's not freeware...

i ran at 240 for a long time and have now been going at 252 for a few weeks and everything has been fine, nothing has reset

I installed Omapclock, and it was running fine for one day till in the middle i looked at the phone and when it came out of standby, it gave me an error reading something about parameter '-clocking' missing. Whats this mean? has anyone else gotten this? everytime this happens, i have to go back and reset the clock speed to 228
