So, anyone with experience with both ROMS, will you go back to the 3.0 combo? I've read that benchmark scores are down in 3.1, but that the overall experience is improved.
Post your thoughts.
I'll stay with 3.1 and wait for official release of it, kernel sources and oc kernel. Oc kernel haven't fixed my hardware decoding for 720p videos and youtube while 3.1 did and overall experience is pretty much the same with 3.1 and 1.4GHz 3.0.

I have Prime v1.6 and Netformer 1.5.
I turned it up to 1.4ghz and i ran the Quadrant benchmark, i got a 2031.
now im looking on some websites and they show they got over 4000?
what's with this? am i getting correct numbers or not?
I got 6123 benchmark, clocked at 1.6ghz

If your TF isn't fully stable at a certain clockspeed then performance of the device may be affected resulting in a lower benchmark result.
A lot of these benchmarks are flawed and can be hacked. I get 35xx at 1.5 GHz on Revolver 1.1.1
The title pretty sums it up. Which is currently more stable, Prime 1.7 or Revolver 2.1.2 if I don't plan to overclock? There have been a number of threads comparing the two but they all used previous versions of Prime or Revolver. Thanks for any info.
Im running Prime 1.6 with oc @ 1.6. Never crashed since day 1 of prime over a month ago
never crashed with oc since i installed it at the 1.2 oc
you will want to monitor your battery more though
never tried revolver but running PRIME 1.7 with Blade KERNEL HAD NO PROBLEM:
Stand by battery drain 0.5%/hr.
running revolved OCed to 1.5 ghz, supercharged...and so far stable
I've been wondering ..
I've got ICS on my transformer and i've got root .. I saw some video of benchmarks for the transformer with HC and then with ICS .. and ICS was getting alot better score (35-40% or some).
I know some people where overclocking with HC and some custom kernels, but i doubt there is yet a custom kernel for the ICS..
But is anyone here that had overclocked Transformer with HC, that can tell me how much diffrence OC'ing made ? 10%? 20%? none at all ?
Also was is stable ?
I would like to go to maybe 1.2ghz.. 1.3ghz even .. But im not sure if it is worth the trouble.
I had my TF overclocked to 1.5ghz 24/7 (using Interactive Governor) on Krakd Rom and it was extremely stable, never rebooted or froze and I can say it made a pretty big difference in speed/responsiveness. I would say around 30% increase IMO.
It varies between tablets though so you may find your tablet is unable to OC at 1.5 ghz and remain stable.
The browser in HC @ 1.5ghz was faster for me than it is now on ICS stock clock (Revolution HD) so I can't wait for an OC kernel to be released for ICS to hopefully get the browser running a bit quicker.

Alost exactly the same for me except i seem to find the browser in ICS only a tiny bit faster and then only on some sites and then only whilst doing the initial render. After that render I find ICS to be much faster, even than OC HC.
I'm sticking with stock unrooted ICS for now and won't be doing anything different until somebody creates an OC kernel for it.
I have tried a couple of AOSP-like ICS ROMs (HyperNonSense, Virtuous Inquisition 4.0) and I am not very happy with the performance. Pressing the back button often causes a small stutter or lag, and browsing (although fast) has lag on occasion or stutters.
It is not that the experience is 'bad', but it is not as fluid and fast as one would expect it to be from a dual-core phone with the kind of specs included within.
To give you a better idea, my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000), running the BlueLighting ROM (ICS 4.0.3) with a 'mild' OC to 1.2 GhZ runs buttery smooth, and beats my Sensation XE (ICS 4.0.3, tested at 1.2 GhZ 'underclock, 1.5 Ghz 'stock' and 1.7 Ghz 'OC') every time and in every situation: Browsing pictures, using stock browser, browsing applications, contacts, pressing the back button etc.
Why does a phone with a single-core CPU, clocked lower, and what seems to be inferior specs outperform a phone that should be doing much better?
I love AOSP experience, and I would ideally avoid any Sense-ROMs (although Sense-lite are ok, I suppose).
Can anyone tell me what their mileage is, with which ICS ROM, and whether you think there is a ROM I should try?
Thanks!
I also had the Virtous Inquisition Rom on my Sensation and i have to say it works very well.
Maybe you have to try another aosp rom like the Cyanogen mod9 from ultimate sensation,it also works very good for me
Thanks I will give it a try and let you know!
Also, can anyone suggest a good ICS kernel? I have had trouble finding a stable kernel. Some can work fine at speeds above 1.6GhZ, but some will not even boot -- perhaps they are not for ICS. I will have to look around. I am surprised there is (no offence!) little variety and option on offer in regards to kernels -- particularly for those interested in the more exotic CPU profiles.
I have also used both Hyper NonSense (1.5 currently, no longer being developed but is stable) and early Virtuous Inquisition releases. For me, both were quite fast - Hyper NonSense more so, but I haven't used a recent release of VI. In both cases, I stuck with the stock kernel distributed with the ROM.
FWIW, Hyper NonSense has also been giving me EXCELLENT battery life. It's a shame to see development stop on it.
hi all,
i want to root and overclock my TF300T
for the overclocking:
-Can i use setcpu ? What other tool is good for OC ?
- Do i need a Costum ROM for overclocking to 1.5Ghz (MAX!)
-Will the performance be a lot better ? or just better ? or no diffrence ?
-What is the highest possible OC ?
Thank you
If you are on ICS you can over clock to 1.5 no problem. I don't know about Setcpu on ICS, but I do know EzOverclock works.
If you upgraded to Jellybean, I don't know of anyway to overclock as of yet. EzOverclock won't work on Jellybean and reportedly causes boot loops. I tried setcpu on my Jellybean Tf300 and found the CPU to be maxed at 1.3.

ok thank you, can i look somewhere to find out when EzOverclock is compatible with JB ?
Thank you

It really depends on how you use the tablet, and where your bottleneck is. My feel is that I/O is the biggest bottleneck on the ASUS pads and the effects are felt across the board. I believe ASUS is working on a fix, though. Fingers crossed.
I/O notwithstanding, day-to-day tasks like email and web browsing don't need a 1 Ghz. Even video playback won't be affected by the difference between 1.2 Ghz (the ASUS performance mode) and 1.5 Ghz (typical max OC). Rendering graphics, I'm not sure how much is offloaded to the GPU, so games or graphic heavy applications may be where you'll see the most gains.
EZoverclock don't work on JB it will keeps restarting your tablet when EZoverclock starts.
And other apps work but can only be set to 1.3 so no overclock on JB with this kernel.
I think in graphically intense applications, such as games, would offer the most notable difference even with gpu offloading since not all instructions are graphics related. That being said just know that battery life will take a hit.
Remember...... as of now EzOverclock will not work in Jellybean.....
