ok here i will cover all the info concerning the N-GAGE Overclock!

IF THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF THE SOFTWARE HAS ANYTHING AGAINST ME HOSTING HIS SOFTWARE, HE SHOULD CONTACT ME

Credits go to:
ZG from Play Gizmo, Author of these applications
Arunav, for bringing the news to SF(and the files)
nj7 for beeing the 1. brave SF Member to test this
This guide was written by me (2. SF member to overclock N-GAGE)

!READ BEFORE CONTINUING!
This Overclock will increase the N-GAGEs CPU Speed to (UPDATE) 130 MHZ!
It was tested and works! (tested and doesnt work @ QD!)
Neither I nor Symbian Freak.com and/or its Members or the Original Author are responsible for any damage caused by this!
We cannot guarantee if Nokia would fix anything caused due to overclocking (waranty might expire)

Good Side of overclocking:
+about 25% less loading Time
+much better gameplay(higher framerate, less loading etc)
+phone itself is much faster
+its simply great to be faster then the non-freaks

Bad Sides of overclocking:
-Some Games have been reported "non-working" with 130mhz, however many people also reported the same games "working" on 130mhz!
-The Battery wasnt made for this. battery will drain faster!
-your N-GAGE is not any faster than the rest

download the file here:
Code:
http://www.geocities.com/benjustice2001/NgageOverclockPatch.zip


This is Arunavs .rar file simply repacked as .zip since my nooby host wont allow .rar uploads
The .sis files you will find here are:
(it doesnt matter if installed to MMC or Phone, i installed them on MMC first, and as it worked i installed on phone)

fixss.sis
This File will "Patch" Your N-GAGE against the well known "App. Closed Main" Error at startup!
IF it asks you if you wish to replace, agree (i didnt have to)
With this you can also set a Operator Logo without any crashes (tested by me)

speedup.sis
This is the magic Application!
You should restart your phone after installation.

It is done!
Your N-GAGE now runs with 130MHZ!
You may want to run SPMark04 tests before and after and compare results!

SP Mark scores before Overclock:
390
484

SP Mark Scores After Overclock:
over 700!!!

quite an improvement? YES IT IS

I myself see this as the unofficial Rebirth of the N-GAGE!

Q:
How to remove the Overclock?
A:
Try uninstalling the speedup.sis!
This will give the old SP Mark Score and slowless.
If this doesnt work? (it does work, but 1 of my games doesnt work anymore)
Backup your information on your phone and Hard Reset(format)[/i]


EDIT: as seen on page 4, the author updated what i was unsure of.
143 or 130 mhz.
he says its 130mhz.

(Warning: on my hone Rifts: promise of power stopped working.
on some other devices the same game still works.)

Actually, how does this thing works? Is it like what we did if we want to overclock PC's CPU? Is there any chances that the phone temperature will get higher after we over-clocked it? (Cos, my phone temp is quit hot after being used for "couple" hours)http://www.dotsis.com/mobile_phone/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Last time my phone nearly arrive at "the underworld" for just changing the font.

maybe its because of the battery...its the battery becomes hot (i think so), some advice: never charge your phone while playing, your phone might explode, same with all phones, fully drain your phone before charging.

actually it would'nt crashes.. it only consume more power on your battery.. i already tried it..sure it was fast,,but also fast enough to drain my battery... :sigh:
