Hi all... apologies if this has been discussed... I did a search but couldn't find anything.
Is there a way to add a 1700MHz antenna to the streak hardware?
I figure since they made a few of the streaks with the 1700MHz antenna, there might be a way?
I also thought I would email the guys who did the tear down of the streak to get their opinion.
Thanks for any help.
i think thats to do with hardware not software, u better off buying one that supports it
Theoretically its possible, but the chances of finding a compatible peice of hardware, combined with building a radio to handle that freq is daunting and likely not worth the effort.
Start searching for an elusive texas beta unit.

I think you are talking about an AWS I have a texas beta and it doesn't have 1700.
You running t mobile sim? If so, not possible without custom kernel allowing 1700 antenna addition. Don't be a dork and just get an at&t account if you must use the streak. After all, you are after 3g connection.

which rom??
none, go read the forum like the rest of us.
Technically, there are no 2.2's with sense even from HTC themselves. That changes on the Desire today or tomorrow.

None at the moment, stay tuned for updates!

.......... PLEASE POST IN GENERAL or Q&A NEXT TIME. thanx
htc desire will have 2.2 with sense but they wont post it till closer to xmas according to what Ive read.
who knows what will happen though, xda is a pretty smart place.
okay that there's no official 2.2 with Sense, but devs made some Desire 2.2 with Sense, as I see

Isn't it possible for Hero too?
Hero Froyo AOSP is in its early stages as it is so a sense froyo will take much more time.

It's coming. August 3rd, 2010.
Didnt people start froyo as a port from the N1? if so then a port from the Desire wont be any harder as its same hardware? i am probably be wrong but nevermind!
There are 2.2 Senese ROMS for us Desire Owners. I think its not possible to port it to the Hero. 2.2 Sense is for Powerful devices
We really need Sense on the Hero, that's the major thing that is lacking on Android 2.2 at the moment.
Oh well if not then Ill have to wait to upgrade my phone to whatever is the next main standard android phone after the Desire.
Would not be so sure about that, most heros can hit 700mhz, not that bad a speed.
My work laptop runs WindowsXP and Ubuntu, with only 800mhz.

MHz has nothing to do with performance. A Celeron D can run at 3GHz and will still perform more slowly than an underclocked 2GHz i7 series CPU.
In the land of mobile CPU's, our hero is very old. Even if it matched snapdragon in frequency, it would still lag behind.
Guys, are you serious that you prefer sense than launcherpro?
The only thing I missed from sense is the social network sync by contact, no big deal.
Go install Fusion Rom (Froyo) + Launcherpro and be happy!
Its not only the Laucnher. HTC has Skinned ANYTHING! And it looks great.

The CPU, or in fact the entire setup of my Thinkpad X22 is around 10 years old!
This is what used to piss me off about PC`s, people constantly seam to want bigger and faster, and 9 times out of 10, its not even needed.
It would appear that smart phones are going the same way.
For somebody to say "no you need a more powerfull device" is just pure spoon fed, marketing bollocks.
Remember the good old Amiga, or even Spectrum days, performance increases were done by the code, not like the daft PC way of doing things = "just bolt another cpu in under the bonnet"
Look at something like JIT, huge performance increases, simply by making better code, no need at all for a larger cpu.
The legend will get froyo sense in q3.
We'll port it and it will run pretty flawlessly, except that the camera will have problems like current cm6; has, until someone manages to compile a .33 kernel for the hero, including a fixed camera driver.
Ok, so I just ran a linpack benchmark on my Aria and got the result of 8.903. I decided to save it since that was the highest I got. I went on the greencomputing website to see the best results for the Aria and the highest one was 32.62 mflops. I wonder if that is even possible on the Aria? If so, how do I get that rom/kernel which gets my that amount of speed. the guy had a dell streak rom and was clocked to 998.4 mHz. here is the link --- http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/
just scroll down to HTC Aria/Liberty.
btw, I am running CM7 on my Aria.
Why do you want that much speed? 806 is fine. Speeds that high would toast the processor. And the phone would get hot so fast.

I know but I'm just wondering how that guy even got his phone to fully boot up at that processor speed. Also, I am wondering if his phone exploded after that. Really, How is that speed even possible? Also, if you look at other results in that list, you will see that people got it to work on 864 which is impossible for the CM7 kernel. So that really makes you wonder how...
Moved to General, since it's not a development thread.

Doesn't really make me wonder... Here's the deal, that guy (or girl) has a hobby. His hobby is seeing how high he can get linpack for android to run. To accomplish this he can go about it one of two ways.
Either he took apart his aria, overclocked the hell out of it, added additional cooling and custom built an optimized kernel for 1 purpose - running linpack for android while unstable. (it's not a phone anymore)
A more logical approach would be to run linpack in an emulator, and spoof linpack into thinking it's running on an aria.
Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion.
He must of got into that girls pants he was trying to impress by having a super overclocked aria

wow..amazing what a dedicated person
So I have the SetCPU running. I also have CPU Benchmark. It gives me two numbers each time I run the test one at 1100 and one at 1000. Is that because one core is set higher than the other? If so, is there a way to set both cores running at 1100? Thanks.
Don't post questions in development, but yea set CPU only overclockes core 0 only, not both core 0 and core 1.
Roger that. I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Is there a way to overclock both?
I thought I read that someone over in 3d forums worked up a special kernel to fully utilize both cores. This was on a snapdragon of course.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Oh well. I'm happy with what we got. It made my phone more snappy, so I'm super stoked.

Kinda, freeza made a kernel that supposed to do that, but its sort of unstable and lags on some phones, I tried it and didn't like it. He did recently update it so it maybe fixed. SetCPU is coded for one core, some people posted logcats and confirmed it. Far as I know, emails were sent to the dev so that hes aware of it. So until there's an update in the app its going to stay that way weather a kernel allows it or not.
Thanks, That's all the info I needed. Appreciate it.
That dev's really good. Hopefully he will update it soon. Been using setcpu since the g1 and mytouch days.
So if Setcpu only controls one core, is it worth using on the photon?
So I have been looking at some of the other programs they have for overclocking. And so far none of them seem to support overclocking a dual core. Any ideas on if there is going to be an update released to support this? Or are we gonna have to just wait for another program? Thanks in advance.

I think you need a custom kernel for that, which are not available for the Photon yet.
We have the custom kernal for the overclock thanks to Shabby. But I'm just curious if we have a program that will overclock both cores? Or perhaps the kernal is only for single core?
I haven't been able to find any overclock apps for dual core yet.
Okay. And one other question. I think I know the answer, but I'll ask. With the kernal release for overclock. That will limit the speed which you can clock it to correct? Meaning the max speed.
You mean underclock? Like only allow the CPU to run at 512 MHz for example? We can already do that with root.
Overclock is raising the Max speed of the CPU, the stock kernel only allows 1 ghz, but a custom kernel can allow higher speeds.
Dual core phones just hit the market, there will be tons of apps supporting that sooner than you might think. And I bet shabby will get us a lot higher than 1.1 - I bet we could get closer to 1.6 with this thing. i would hope so anyways!
I will take the first dive at trying it! lol

SetCPU supports the tegra2 for under clocking, over clocking, and under volting. I currently run an Atrix over clocked to 1.3GHz and under vloted.
Also, your kernel must support it.
That's what I was trying to ask. Does our kernal only support the 1.1 ghz? I'm happy with it, just curious. And that's what I'm trying to find out. Also, how does I undervolt my CPU?
Im willing to bet when more custom kernels roll out this thing will be able to overclock each core to abt 1.4 or 1.5ghz! I wouldn't do it though....im an undervolt kind of guy myself.

I get you there bud, most people are. But just like my PC I tend to get every last ounce of power out of it. I get my i7 in the mail here on Thursday. Can't fricken wait. $3k of computer coming from the egg. Going to be sweet.

Not bad. My lappy is an i5 mackbook pro and i built a pretty sweet desktop if i need the power.
I just switched over to the atrix from the infuse.. I have it unlocked and rooted.. Wanting to oc but not fully understanding so I'm taking it slow lol.. But i was wondering. How does the power of the 'FIRST' dual core stack up to compared to todays dual core phones?? Is this still a good phone (Since I just got it) and will it continue to be a good phone?
With a custom kernel, most benchmarks are placing it right under or even with SGSII... not bad considering that phone comes stock with 1.5 GHz dual core.
1.2 you mean?

here's the thing for me, though: you're installing custom kernels and doing this and that to a phone to get it to perform at max capability.
but, to me, that's slightly artificial considering that if you did the same to another phone, then that phone's benchmarks would also be increased, therefore not really providing any gain for the original device.
that's how I currently see it. is that... correct? or... am I not understanding something...?

I'm not running a OC kernel, but Faux's enhanced kernel @ 1 GHz. The main thing was getting rid of motoblur, and freeing up the ram. My benchmarks aren't as fast as the SGSII, but they aren't miles behind either.... not bad considering it's half a year older. I happen to like Nivida's technology too, but that's just a personal preference.

That's correct. Right now, though, the difference is negligible. So negligible that only benchmarks will show the real difference. Now, there's several games that will work only on the Tegra platform because the other CPUs don't have the same capabilities in the graphics department.... though it's not like everyone writes games based on these settings or even optimize other games for them.

Ahem... Optimus 2X claims the first prize
Anyway I don't have an Atrix 4G, I have an Optimus 2x, same CPU. In my opinion the Tegra seems on-par with the Galaxy S2.
I'm not sure if there is a CM7 for the Atrix, but on my Optimus it is at least 2x faster than the stock rom, benchmarks reflect that too.
SunSpider is a benchmark which basically tests various web rendering tasks and gives a total score at the end
On MIUI / 1.5GHZ the Galaxy S2 scored 1600 or so. On 1GHZ, my Tegra 2 scores 1800! A lot of it appears to be down to software though, rather than raw performance, for reference, an iPhone 4 using Safari gets 4700, an Acer Liquid Metal Black which has some sort of 800MHZ snapdragon (I think?) CPU gets 3800.
The iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 got 16,000 or some stupid figure, well below 10,000 on iOS 5 though. In short, I guess what I'm saying is it's more down to your software setup than the hardware, obviously any phone is going to run like crap on a stock rom with 100,000 facebook and twitter apps.
