How to use PXA Clocker efficiently
Unlike other applications, PXA Clocker is not fool-proof. There are no
limitations in what you can do with frequency and
peripheral settings. Although it is very unlikely that a device can
be damaged using any combination of settings, the appropriate care should
be excersized.
First of all, you have to decide whether your goal is to save the battery power,
or boost application performance via overclocking and keep applications stable
at the same time.
If your goal is to save the battery, then the recommendation is: set your
system default frequency to the lowest possible value and tun off all unused
peripheral devices. Additionally, you may set higher frequencies for those
applications that require additional system resources. The list of such
applications will include complex games, multimedia, and databases.
If your goal is to hit the best performance, then you have to figure out
what is the maximum available frequency for your device that allows a
stable operation. Due to memory chip and processor chip differencies, the
maximum value varies even within PDAs of the same model. You will have to
backup you device and spend some time tweaking out
the maximum stable value. This value will also depend on the current level of
your battery.
Please note, that due to a non-efficient hardware design of Tungsten C and
some of Tungsten 3 devices, you may experience a problem when your device
completely locks up and cannot be restored by even a hard reset. In this case
your options are either wait until the battery is exhausted (recommended) or
open the device and disconnect the battery for a minute (not recommended unless
you know what to do). Sony Clie devices do not have this problem and can always
be restored by hard reset.
There are quite a few differences between PXA Clocker Lite and PXA Clocker Pro
PXA Clocker Lite is freeware, PXA Clocker Pro is a commercial application.
PXA Clocker Lite does not have support for direct frequency change (tweak mode)
PXA Clocker Lite does not manage peripheral devices
PXA Clocker Lite always uses System Default frequency for applications that
reside on memory cards.
PXA Clocker Lite does not reactivate itself on system reset.
PXA Clocker Lite includes an annoying feature - it will occasionaly and silently
refuse to set application frequency, and will use system default value instead.
Probability of this event is around 2%.
PXA Clocker Pro users receive free lifetime updates and e-mail support.
