HTC Hero, coming July on Orange and T-Mobile, makes me want!

Anyone done any benchmarking on their hero yet? Also its got 2.2 MCC Rom. The apps to do it are on Market and are free :)

This is at stock speeds 245 Mhz

*Benchmark PI*
13338

*Benchmark*
total graphics score: 84.61
total cpu score: 167.01216
total memory score: 140.3341
total file system: 28.202215

*NeoCore* [No audio]
23.6 FPS

-----------------------------
Overclocked to 528 Mhz

*Benchmark PI*
11909

*Benchmark*
total graphics score: 119.38346
total cpu score: 172.75908
total memory score: 148.01614
total file system: 36.663715

*NeoCore*[No audio]
28.0 FPS

Interestingly removing Rosie via this method made it slower than 2.2. MCC.

From my little tests Im sticking with 2.2 MCC overclocked to 528 MHz

Some speed up tips

Joy of joys! Just been playing the first ever commodore 64 game i played about 20 something years ago on a android c64 emulator :)
 
how safe is overclocking ? i dont want to speed up the phone for it to die.

Good question. Something I should have probably investigated first. I think rather than using the term overclocking it should probably be called "running the cpu at its maximum capacity" Im not going over 528 MHz.
 
I find that when I do I'm either not using 3G or I generally have rubbish signal.

Don't forget that if you're on GPRS only then any data usage you use stops phone calls and the other way around.

3G let's you do both and seeing as how much the Hero accesses data a day (sometimes mine is 100mb a day) you can understand why you might have problems!
