I've been googling and browsing XDA most of today... went on a short adventure in unlocking my Xoom and rooting it (finally), and am even happier with it running 4.0.4.
However short of flashing entire new roms and all that jazz, I think I'd like to overclock a bit.
From what I've found, it seems like there isn't many options for doing that yet? I've just setup and restored all my apps and widgets today so I'm hesitant to wipe everything again, so my question is:
Am I able to overclock presently? After rooting I now have some experience navigating to CWM, and kind of understand the process. Just want to make my Xoom that much better
Thanks!
edit: if there is a way to do it... perhaps some instructions would be great? Everytime I look at those Development threads I get so confused.
Option 1: flash a custom ROM. Most ROMs have an overclocking kernel installed.
Option 2: flash the EOS kernel. You can find it in the development section.
Also, since you are already on ICS 4.0.4, all you have to wipe is the caches when you install a different ICS ROM, such as AOKP, CM9 or Team EOS.

Thanks for the reply!
Seems like this thread is most relevant?

Not sure what to use though, as it seems to be more about the rom.
For wiping the caches, do I still need to do it if I flash a kernel? Before or after? I might try switching roms in the future but I'd like to try just the kernel now.

I'd exercise a little bit of caution when overclocking, especially to 1.7. Because every xoom is different, there is some risk. If your xoom randomly restarts when overclocked, it means you've gone too far and a lower frequency would be better. Also remember that OCing could potentially ruin your xoom if one is not careful enough.

Thanks for the warning. It's been going at 1.5 so far with no problems, and is still a big improvement... if even that causes problems I'll tone it down.
Do some kernels OC better than others?

I am not that well informed about kernels specifically. But I know that many kernels can allow overclocking, yet some kernels are more stable and play much nicer with certain roms while others could do the opposite. I think it is a matter of mixing and matching until you find a kernel that is both stable and suits your needs.

This is what I call a "high class problem". With so many ROMs to choose from, how does a noob like me decide. Aside from stability, we all probably have different wants and needs.
Can anyone who's checked out the majority of the available ROMs give the rest of us a rundown on the pros and cons of each ROM?
For myself, I'm looking for:
1. Basic
2. Reversible
3. No known issues with wifi, sms, battery drain, ciq, marketplace, etc.
Which one should I pic?

basically, you need to try them out and see for yourself.
the problem is, there will be another one up soon for you to try out
Like u said. To each his own. None of the roms here have major issues that I have flashed. All work and run well only issue is if there using da G's kernel which has Sod issues. Other than that flash away bruh.
Only u can prevent forest fires.....so choose well bruh. LOL

Other than doing a complete Nandroid backup, is there anyway to just backup your current kernel prior to flashing a new kernel? SGS KERNEL FLASHER doesn't work on the Skyrocket, and i'd like to backup my stock kernel in case I need to reflash it.

its close. if i have time this weekend you will see something drop. i have a few more tweaks i want to do before i consider it ready. internally, im already up to beta8, lol. i hope to have beta10 release as an RC1 for everyone.
From what I seen so far I seen no reason to try them though somebody has to or they never get fully debugged.
Some of the ROMs are AT&T only ..... sorry got SGH-I727R
Some of them do have Rogers ROMs but I read of Sleep of Death and losing LTE connection..... sorry too buggy and I NEED LTE or I would of got the Galaxy Nexus.
Finally what I really want is ICS and NOT ICS themed ROMs
None of them are for me but I check everyday when a ICS ROM comes out I will try it.
Finally I recommend you NEVER try Roms if you are not sure that you can restore.
I have backuped my ROMs, Apps and Data, APNs I am 95% certain I can recover from anything.
For that other 5% I have Odin and the orginal Rogers ROM
Just to agree with everyone else, you've got to try them out. There's no harm in it as long as you've done your nandroid back up, you're pretty safe when it comes to reverting back to your previous ROM and settings.
Reading the features and change logs for each of them helps alot... but it still doesn't give you a full grasp of what it has to offer until you flash and test it.
I just posted the new BlastOff BML kernel here.
This is the place to ask questions.

I first want to than you for your support on a "update for a BML kernel".
i think it belongs in dev but still don't have enough posts to post.
I ran into a few issues with no log cat because of hardware freeze.
1st Tegrak will not load module for custom tweaks. Hardware failure vibrates indefinitely, and battery pull needed. works fine if you don't try and tweak. running 1.4 GHz without optimization works fine but can't underclock because of issue. the screen freezes and becomes pixilated.
restoring from nano backup finishes but stays at gs4g boot screen for t mobile
nano restore might be user error. i just factory reset and restored from there using the one click. restoring nano after one clicking resulted in same boot screen freeze as original
im sorry i don't have log cats but i hope i can provide further information if requested.
running latest Valhalla Black Edition with 1.3 OC undervolted
created backup with VB kernel recovery
booted fine with first flash of kernel running at 1.4
tried tegrak to underclock 1.4 and hardware froze with pixilation of screen in very light but noticable amount
reboot
wifi fix didn't work with flashing with cwm, suceeded with flash just no end result
tried to recover using cwm recovery with modded kernel caused boot freeze
one clicked back with no problems
i love this forum and want to try and provide feedback when possible, thank you for all you have accomplished over the years and i can't wait to see the perfect kernel and modem for ics. FB i love the AOKP. Unicorn Power!!! thank you all for all of your awesome work.

Wiping cache and dalvik is fine, don't always need to wipe data, but sometimes you do.
I get grumpy sometimes too

Is this the kind of battery life we can expect for the mtd version of this kernel and/or the aries kernel port? I noticed this does have some things from aries (per Github History). The battery life with this kernel is epic, better than anything else I've used.
Thanks,
David
We don't know what kind of battery life you will expect from the ICS kernel because no one has tested the ICS kernel because bryan hasn't finished creating it yet. If and when it's released you'll get to see what kind of battery life you get with the way you use your own phone.

There is a reason for calling this kernel BlastOff. It's going to go through the galaxy of snacks Google has named their Android releases. It's starting off on Planet Gingerbread, BML style.
Eventually, if the stars align, it will end up reincarnated as MTD on Planet Gingerbread.
After reincarnation, it will head towards planet ICS... and on and on...
For now, we are still packing the ship with goodies. OC/UV, governers, I/O schedulers, mmc changes, and bcm4329 have already been packed. But I'm still adding more!
So for the medium term, this kernel will stay BML. You may see me experiment with MTD, but I would stay away from that stuff and stick with the BML kernel for now.
Enjoy my naming scheme.

No need for that kind of reply, I was simply asking a question. From what I can tell, this does use bits and pieces from Aries and that's what prompted the question. I didn't ask for an eta or anything to that affect. I also know that battery life is dependent on usage, but I know for a fact that on gingerbread the standby time is leaps and bounds better than what we have for ics (currently) (for most users) . It's even been mentioned that the kernel for ics had some battery draining issues by Bryan himself.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
That "kind of reply" was merited. Like I said in that post, we're not gonna know how the battery will be until the kernel gets created and tested. I can give you a prediction and tell you that it'll last you 10 days with heavy usage but I may be wrong.
We won't know until we test it.
BTW, unnamed - bhundven edition has been posted to the teamacid github.
I'm not making an official zip yet, as we have some bugs still to work out, but if you want a rom to play around with the new kernel, git clone it and run the mkzip.sh.
Let me know what you think, if you feel so daring
(again, disclaimer, I'm not responsible for messing your phone up, thats your problem. This rom has been tested and won't brick you, unless you do something stupid. This rom will not work with any other kernel, for now.)

Personally why would you need this? Install cleanrom ule and you'll have a very quick pimped rom.

You don't have to install it to have an opinion on it. Stop and think for a second. So you would just install Cleanrom and just leave it at that? The point is this gives you the option to pick and choose what you want to add to the rom and not be at the mercy of a rom creator. I'll say I've been doing this a long time now and I've learned that most roms are just eat up with bugs and more problems than its worth. I mostly prefer a stock rom with just a few performance tweaks here and there as opposed to one that's going to FC or reboot spontaneously. However if no one has anything intelligent to contribute then by all means moderator, lock this topic.
Aww, play nice people.
I just installed it and am checking it out with the stock Jelly Bean. I admit, I was overwhelmed by options but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully I didn't select anything detrimental. Everything seems okay, and I like the option to reboot faster!

I never really paid attention to my wifes stock TF101, until recently I used and wow...it is pretty slow (I have an N7 and was surprised how much slower it was). I'm just wanted to get some feedback on what ROMs & kernals currently have the strongest preformance and stabilty.
Have JB roms become stable enough to surpass ICS ones?

The Custom ROMs may be more unstable than the stock one. I am not sure, I have the same problem, but I am waiting for a Jelly Bean update for this tablet. I think they will release a JB update this christmas. Try overclocking it? You can Overclock it to 1.6 GHz.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
I've played around with the JB roms (my favourite being ParanoidAndroid), but I ultimately went back to stock ICS.
What I found was that flashing a custom kernel that allowed overclocking and using Nova Launcher with animation speed set to "Faster Than Light" corrected any lag or slowness that I noticed in stock ICS.

Well, as you have experienced, I have some questions, because I want to overclock my TF101.
1. Is it safe? I mean, could it kill your processor or brick your tablet?
2. Do you need to have a custom ROM to overclock?
3. Does it wipe all your data?
4. If possible, do you have a link that actually works with full tutorial? I have tried overclocking and my tablet got hard bricked while changing kernel.. by the way, I read like 7 tutorials and then did what I remembered.
Thank you in advance!

I'm also back to stock. Had stability/performance/usability issues with all the roms I tried, stock is the better one for mine it seems. But I have well over 400 apps installed and it's running very well and fast. I'd look into why your wife's is running so slow with stock, tons of tools out there to help you figure that out like task managers/explorers/killers/etc.

I will do my best to try and answer your questions. Please keep in mind that I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device, I am just reporting my experiences and what I recommend. I do not consider myself an expert or a developer. I am just an android enthusiast who has been rooting/unlocking/flashing/modding for a few years. I hope I am able to help you out.
1. I haven't had any issues overclocking. I suppose if you push it up to the max MHz then you could have issues but I have been able to safely run my TF101 at around 1600 MHz. My TF101 is about 16 months old now and I haven't had any problems.
2. A custom ROM is not required but you have to be sure that the kernel is specifically built for Asus based ROMs. The developer usually states it in the respective thread.
3. Flashing a kernel does not wipe your data. As a general rule however I always wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing anything. It maybe not necessary but it only takes 10 seconds to do.
4. I don't have a link to a tutorial for flashing a kernel or overclocking. There are probably tutorials out there but it's pretty basic stuff. Just flash the kernel using a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). I personally prefer TWRP. Then i usually use SetCPU (available in the Play Store) to set the max/min MHz. I usually set max=1600 MHz and min=384 MHz.
There are a couple good custom kernels available in the development section. The one that I currently use is made by guevor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565519). The one I use is in Post #3 and is called "Kernel-2-ICS-V1.1-OC1700-fb_28.zip" - it is the first one under the heading "2.6.39 based".
I hope the above information is helpful!

I will do my best to try and answer your questions. Please keep in mind that I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device, I am just reporting my experiences and what I recommend. I do not consider myself an expert or a developer. I am just an android enthusiast who has been rooting/unlocking/flashing/modding for a few years. I hope I am able to help you out.
1. I haven't had any issues overclocking. I suppose if you push it up to the max MHz then you could have issues but I have been able to safely run my TF101 at around 1600 MHz. My TF101 is about 16 months old now and I haven't had any problems.
2. A custom ROM is not required but you have to be sure that the kernel is specifically built for Asus based ROMs. The developer usually states it in the respective thread.
3. Flashing a kernel does not wipe your data. As a general rule however I always wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing anything. It maybe not necessary but it only takes 10 seconds to do.
4. I don't have a link to a tutorial for flashing a kernel or overclocking. There are probably tutorials out there but it's pretty basic stuff. Just flash the kernel using a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). I personally prefer TWRP. Then i usually use SetCPU (available in the Play Store) to set the max/min MHz. I usually set max=1600 MHz and min=384 MHz.

Thank you for answering my questions. I can finally overclock my tablet. I'll try it later. Thank you in advance again

EDIT:

Thanks man.. I have successfully flashed the kernel.. I have a sister and she has some games on my TF101 and she already lost for like four times her progress. My heart was beating so hard lol. Thanks again. You saved my life xD
Hi all,
First let me start by telling you what device I am using a Samsung Galaxy S III I535 running Liquid Smooth 2.37 rom.
I have been flashing phones for years and have bricked, unbricked & in most cases had success with dirty flashing and doing clean flashes. I have gotten to the point in my adventures with flashing phones to experiment with kernels, since that's all anyone talks about that gets some legit performance and battery life stats. So my questions are as follows ( and i apologize now if this has been asked a bazillion times before. If that is in fact the case, some direction to the link would be much appreciated, thanks! )
1) what are the steps one would have to take to properly flash a Kernel
2) are there any pitfalls and caveats i should be concerned about ( bricking is the obvious one here )
Thank you again in advance for taking the time to help me out. Just trying to get fully educated before i decide to start messing around further with my phones!

1) Make sure the kernel is compatible with your rom, Do some reading about the kernel -pros & cons.
2) Flash away. In theory, you don't even need to wipe cache or dalvik cache, but just wipe them to make you feel like...it's clean!!
3) The worst thing is you get a bootloop which is an easy fix.
One other thing to note, is AOSP kernels are not compatible with TouchWiz roms, and TW kernels are not compatible with AOSP roms.
Make sure you get the right one, if the developer offers both options.

Just adding onto this, one good way of ensuring #1 is to flash a compatible AOSP 4.3 or 4.4 kernel that is dated at or about the same time as your rom. If the more recent kernel doesn't work, try the release prior to that.

Much appreciated guys! I decided to go with [4.3/4.4][AOSP] ¤ BMS ¤ d2vzw / d2usc 3.4.y (link below). So far so good, flashed easily and no problems at this point. Ill report back and see how the performance gains are.

Thanks again for all of your advice!
I run that kernel on all roms. Hope u get good battery life. I suggest let it stabilize a day or two.. Jst my two cents

I noticed as soon as I loaded the Kernel there was an issue. It wouldn't connect to any wifi networks. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even turn on wifi, the switch just stayed grayed out after i initially hit it. So currently I am running KT until I can find a solution to my issue. I would love to run BMS given the great response but I need to be able to use wifi lol

What is the name and date of the rom that you are on? Which version and date of KT747 are you using? Lastly, which version and date of BMS did you flash?
