I am considering using a custom ROM on the transformer, but is it worth it, I am mainly after performance increases. I see on a few that there are higher benchmark results, but does this actually translate into a real world speed increase?
I remember some custom ROMs for the original i9000 Galaxy S doubled the benchmark performance, but that was more down to "cheating" the benchmark than anything else, although it certainly was noticeable at times.
One of the slight criticisms I have of the TF101 is a slight amount of lag / lack of responsiveness occasionally - not a deal breaker, but if it can be improved then why not? Obviously not at the cost of stability though.
I think the SGS2 has spoiled me a bit here!
apparently there is a big increase (mostly from overclocking). i had the standard firmware for 3 days only, so I can't really tell, but one of my co-workers has a locked B70 and was wow-ed by my TF, the smoothness and speed of it.
Yes, I'm waiting too, to root it and put a cutom ROM on. I read, heard and saw the performance difference. Mainly from the overclock, but also thanks to kernel tweaks and stuff. So If you can root, do it

I've never been that keen on the idea of overclocking, as I prefer to have a bit of headroom, but I guess if it is safe and makes a big difference, then I would give it a shot. What would be a good middle ground for stability / speed ?
1.4 IMO is very stable and doesn't increase heat or use more battery but the real world performance is noticable. I have never run a benchmark so I can't give you any numbers. Just my normal use.
Cheers for the reply.
Is there any one ROM that stands out as being the best performing?
Contrary to what people think they all perform about the same. There is no source so everyone is building of the same stock rom. If you want the same look then go with Revolution. If you want a little tweaked then go with Prime (What I'm on). If you want the tweaks and a nice tools package then go with Revolver (What I was just running). All 3 devs are really responsive to problems
If you start from a clean base and don't restore any system data from other builds then they will all be fast. The real speed difference is in the kernel and those can be flashed seperately from the rom. Clemsyn is really putting out kernels this week. Some good. Some not so good. Go with whats right for you.
EDIT: I have actually installed all 3 roms in the last week and run them at stock and at 1.4 Ghz. They all performed exactly the same for me. They were all equally stable. I don't use benchmarks because they can be fudged.
I've used all three too. I notice huge improvements with webpage rendering. It's almost as fast as my laptop, where as before I avoided using the browser if possible. The ability to hide the status bar is a really nice addition to the latest version of revolver.
Edit: autorotate is also alot faster.

There is no such thing as an overclocking "middle ground" when dealing with mobile chipsets such as the Tegra. It's not like overclocking a desktop computer where the CPU will constantly run at the specified speed; mobile chipsets are pre-configured to utilize only as much power as necessary. For that reason I always ramp up my tablet to the max clock speed it can reliably handle, because then the governor will handle balancing between speed, stability, and battery life. My clock speed can range from 216Mhz to 1624Mhz, and on the interactive governor I can still achieve a good 8 hours of battery life from a single charge.
Of course that's not to say that you couldn't constantly run at 1624Mhz all the time, and I do sometimes lock it to that speed for games. But for much of the OS interaction, it's not necessary to run at full speed all the time, and you won't notice a difference even if it is locked at full speed. It just comes in handy every once in a while for things like loading apps, loading web pages, and playing games.
Just wanted to get a quick poll from all Infinity users, as to which CPU mode/setting you've found yourself using the most?
Back and forth between on demand and interactive. Usually on demand though.

Since this is my game and multimedia tab, performance of course! If ac is available so much the better. It cuts through a full hd 1080p movie like butter, this buffalo linkstation NAS is really what will make the 700 shine. Wish Asus upgraded to a dual band wifi though, it's worth it.
Oh yeah, 64g is going to provide that much needed storage space for the next gen of games for the Tegra3.

I think you're confusing ASUS's power scheme and CPU governors here. The question was about the former.
The powersaving mode makes the CPU run at 500MHz max., balanced - 1500MHz max., performance - 1700MHz max. What governs the actual speeds, however, is the CPU governor.
The governors are a different thing then. Interactive is there by default, performance makes CPU run at the highest clock speed all the time, etc. So you can be in powersaving mode and on the performance governor. You need to be rooted to change the governor.
I think there are some tweaks and settings apart from that, as the difference between 1,5 and 1,7GHz is not that huge, but many benchmark results tend to be considerably higher in performance mode (although some have reported getting higher results on balanced), but I don't know the details.
Going back to OP's question - I think balanced is OK most of the time, as it gives you a good performance:battery life balance.

Actually power save mode limits one core to 1 ghz ( on the prime so prolly 1.2 on the infinity and also caps speeds when certain amounts of cores are active. You can still play many games on powersave without a drop in performance though.

It limits it to 500MHz on my Infinity, so are you guessing or you know it for sure?
Most of the time it's on Balanced, but when I do games or other CPU intensive things I switch it to Performance.

cpu spy shows 910 for me while running Jelly Defense in power savings mode. I believe it can go higher than that but I'm not certain for sure.
On balanced usually. I noticed on energy saving mode the colors are different? Or maybe the contrast? Colors on balanced and performance are fine. In fact, I think 1080p movies can be played in power saving mode. For games I use performance mode.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
I use power-saving. Because then I don't need to recharge the pad more than once a week (After 7 days of light usage, the tab had almost 50% battery left and the dock was empty. Awesome!). If I need more oomp, performance mode is dead easy to activate.
This pad is fast anyway

Good read, thanks.
80% of the time that I'm just taking care of email, browsing the web, installing/updating apps, watching non-hd videos, and the other such, I keep it on balanced.
Gaming, watching HD videos, and other such, I pump it up to performance.

K...after reading that...I'm switching to perf mode and I'm staying on perf in System tuner also...
Not too worried about warming the CPU up a little.
The tablet runs like a 440 hemi with a triple on top in these modes! :fingers-crossed:
I've been searching around for a bit and cant find a definitive answer on the affects of performance mode on the infinity (Not rooted, running stock). I wanted to get everyone's opinion on how exactly it affects the OVERALL performance of the infinity.
Is the trade off worth the decreased battery life? Does it alleviate some of the lag we sometimes see in battery saving and balanced mode? What areas ( browsing, app draw animation, switching between home screens etc...) do you see the greatest increase in performance?
Also i don't really care about the different benchmark scores that are out there. I want opinions on EVERYDAY USAGE, not benchmark results. Thanks in advance guys!

Battery life is still great and I get really good performance with Dolphin and good performance with Chrome.

Good question...
I don't see much difference tween performance and balanced.
Gaming is a tad better in performance maybe because it pushes the GPU a bit.
As far as everyday use and battery life not much more speed in performance.
Just another button to push versus a root tweak.
Hmmm, OP - why not just try it yourself and see?? Who would be a better judge than you, on your own device, using the apps that you use??
Everyone uses these tablets differently and just because someone else gets better results with their setup, doesn't mean that you would see the same results...

I have tried it, but obviously im not the only one who owns a tf700, nor is my use of the tablet the same as everyone else. Also there have been obvious differences in individual tablet performance regardless of performance mode. Hence why im asking everyone's opinion. That way i can compare my results to those of everyone else and see if there is a correlation. Cant do that by just looking at my own individual results

If you want good performance you need to at least root your device.
as far as cpu speed goes, all performance mode does is kick up the max from 1.5GHz to 1.7GHz. in power saving mode the max is 1GHz. not sure about gpu changes.
i tend to use power saving mode unless im playing a resource intensive game, which honestly doesn't happen all that often. i don't really see a difference between the modes as far as changing between home screens, launcher drawer, etc.

I appreciate the response. Very informative. What do you usually use your tab for?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
If its like the 201 which I assume it is then:
Performance mode has higher maximum speed and is more aggressive with powergating. It also has higher contrast and I think faster bus link speed. 3d speed is best at this setting.
Balanced will scale to quad core but will be more hesitant to hit high speed and ungate cores compared to performance mode. The net is a slight stutter. The contrast is lower. 2d balanced performance is the same as performance and powersave is about half the 2d speed.
Powersave is more conservative with speeds and gating. Is good for video playback if you can get over the dynamic contrast which is higher in this mode.

I've had noticeable lag in balanced mode while watching 1080P video. I get zero lag with performance mode. I also notice the graphics frame rate is smoother and higher on performance mode as well. Especially when you play games that totally utilize the tegra 3 chip set.

Most of the time I've spent with the tablet so far has been flashing roms (stock based and cm10 testing which tends to be very time consuming lol) and tweaking stuff. When I do actually USE it, it has been for media consumption most of the time (displaying photos for friends that are over, reading ebooks, looking up something on the web, reading XDA, etc). Nothing really resource intensive.
Stock, non-rooted, not unlocked, no tweaks, turned off most bloatware. Running a Live Wallpaper (Steampunk Droid). Have had it since about a week before the release. (yes yes, the store cheated.)
My everyday use is mainly: checking mail, typing documents (books), watching videos (tvshows, films), working in Photoshop Painter and Sketchbook, reading pdf magazines, playing (non-casual) games, reading 9gag, vlc remote, design presentations, playing music, webtesting layouts.
From what I've noticed:
Power Saving:
Delay in loading apps, changing screens, scrolling and swiping (4-5 seconds to load the icons on homescreen). Typing (120wpm) on the dock keyboard drives it completely insane, I have to wait about two minutes for it to finish catching up, and it usually ends up as complete gibberish; Highly amusing, but not very useful. Videos of any size pretty much won't render properly at all. Websites take quite a while to load. Saves the most battery in sleep mode (+-1% loss over 10h wifi off)
Balanced:
Smooth screen transition, appscreen loads (almost) instantly. Lags slightly during intensive use (typing with keyboard, video loading, heavy games, multiple browsing tabs). Videos work alright, anything over 720p won't work properly, Tegra3 games lag (fps of about 5). Ordinary games run fine.
Performance:
Bit more snap-responsive than Balanced, by a fraction of a second. Not vital, still noticable if you're looking for it. Blurays run (more or less) smoothly (ICS isn't designed for it) (tested with Timescapes 4K bluray 1080p mp4 in VLC Béta, it ran the video for 8 hours on high brightness&ips+ with dock connected.). Heavy games (MW3, NOVA3) run fine. No delay between swiping, switching screens or launching apps.
There is no difference in screen contrast or brightness between Balanced and Perfomance as far as I can see.
Personally, I use Battery Saving when I put the device to sleep or on idle (the occasional email it can handle just fine). For normal use, I go for Balanced mode. If I notice it is a bit sluggish in games and videos, I switch to performance for the duration and then just swap back once I'm done. Using performance for anything other than when it has trouble rendering is a waste of battery and power.
Hope this helps.

This is not for the faint of heart.....
I flashed Clemsyns 1.9 Ghz kernel this morning and it has cut boot times down by about 15s, I am able to cold boot in less than 30s. I know this kernel isnt working for everyone, however, just thought Id mention it is working very well for me so far. Didnt need it for lag as that was gone with the 1.5-1.8 kernel, but it is worth it for the boot improvement, which was my only gripe with this device. In a truly mobile productivity device boot times SHOULD be less than 30s.
Will report later today after more stress tests and temperature checks.
Oh ya, I am running CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4, fsync disabled, scroll cache disabled, and force GPU rendering.
Cant wait to see how this flies after Data2SD Mod (cant apply until i get back home to Halifax - East coast represent)

Good call, I forgot that most ppl would be interested in the battery drain.
I was fully charged before flashing new kernel, I have used for over 4 hrs, been doing heavy browsing, stress tests, and benchmark tests....all in performance mode.....im at 67% dock, 76% tablet...I keep screen brightness around 20%-25%. Havent noticed any more drain than usual.
Ran a benchmark test in balanced mode and got the same results as I used to get with 1.5-1.8 Ghz/700 GPU kernel....if you are worried about stressing your system leave it in balanced and switch to performance mode when needed.
Troo that overclock to 1.9 is a battery killer.
Have to say I didn't stay on it very long

That sucks I havent seen much of a battery hit at all. For the past 2 hrs ive left it in balanced mode and there is no diff b/w 1.5-1.8 kernel at 1450mV. I didnt use the 1400 mV kernel for very long bc i didnt notice any battery improvement, maybe the 1400 mV kernel is much better, are you using 1400 mV kernel?
Ive been using my tab for 5 hrs in performance and 2 hrs in balanced and im still at 33% dock and 87% tablet. Thats essentially the same as it used to be, should get at least get a full day of heavy use, especially considering I have been running stress tests, benchmarks, and repeated cold boots to make sure its up to snuff.
The screen and wifi are the biggest battery consumers, overclocking from 1.5-1.8 to 1.9 shouldnt hit battery too much.
maybe
maybe the 1.9 isnt kicking in, maybe try playing some shadowgun or something to see ur battery time,

I dont have any games. Games are cool, I just dont play them, and will never put a game on my tablet lol. I really cant say how battery would be affected by this kernel when gaming.
You might be wondering why I even bother with this kernel if I do not game. Well, my good sir, I happen to be a performance junkie, and cant stand lag of any sort lol. Multitasking is what i focus on, this tab has replaced all my other devices, and am happy to say my workflow is smoother and faster.
From my personal use I think the kernal rocks! I have used it before and just went to it again recently. The only reason I switched was because the Rom I used didnt have the option to install that Kernal and I was too lazy to flash it again. On a regular everyday use I keep it in balanced mode and really dont see a hit in battery. I personally only saw a little bit of battery drain in gaming however in the graphic and CPU heavy games there was battery drain anyways. I can deal with plugging it in more to get more performance out of my tab. I am one of those people that has 5 home screens, ones dedicated to all of my games and its fully filled with 6 different folders each containing atleast 10 more games. This would definitely slow down my tablet however with this Kernal its different. I also get around the same results in quadrant 7436 to be exact.I do see a temp increase but its not too large so I can deal with it.
Over all I think its the best Kernal out right now hands down.
Just curious - why do you even power-off your device to begin with? Normally, "mobile devices" are meant to be on always-on anyway, so I just don't see why the cold-boot time is such a big deal. The device goes into a deep-sleep state when in standby with very little power drain, which pretty much eliminates the need to constantly power off and back on the begin with.
Do you really completely power-off your device on a regular basis?
Again, just curious - obviously, that's completely up to you...
Personally, I only reboot my TF700 when flashing kernels and/or ROM's - otherwise it's always on. That way you never have to wait for it to boot!

I don't think the boot time has nothing to do with 1.8 or 1.9 kernel, my cold boot is about 22 sec. They should be about the same depended on how many app services you have running on your device.

I cold boot all the friggin time lol just my personal preference. It feels snappier after cold boot and I am constantly deleting stuff and trying new things/setups/setting configurations to eek out more performance, after each change I cold boot to get an accurate assessment of the changes that I have made. Lately ive been spending several hours a day trying to improve tab, which has meant a lot of cold boots. For the past few weeks ive spent more time optimizing and assessing this tab than acually using it, kind of nuts, i know lol, but i really enjot it and im off school right now and my hometown is in the middle of nowhere, less than 100 ppl live in my town lol. I normally shut down before bed, and do another cold boot after I finish classes around 7, boot time matters to me.
Oh and I will not charge this thing if it is on, I figure that draining the battery (no matter how little) while charging cant be good for its life long term.

I honestly dont know if it should or shouldnt, all i know is that i was booting in about 40s-45s before flashing 1.9 kernel, now i boot in 30s, Ive seen results by doing this. I time my boot times with stopwatch on my phone, i monitor everything going on in this tablet very heavily. Every time i change anything i like to be able to assess its overall impact on performance.
This is one thing i have noticed that power saving mode lags a lot more in official uptate than in preview lpx13d. Has any one noticed this. Also does changing kernel n tuning cpu governors n frequencies affect power saver? i generally underclock to 2ghz and my governer is elementalx i/o is row and buffer size is 512

I think it's normal.
If you want no lag when using Power Saving Mode, use faux kernel.
Because it has turbo boost, and works good with Power Saving with no lag.
Yeah, I noticed lag too when battery saver was on too. I did not even have but maybe 3 apps open in recent apps. It definitely was not just a little lag either, it was pretty bad. I definitely would not say that is 'normal' considering when you put an M8 or any other device in battery saving mode, it lags absolutely nothing like that. I wonder if it is because they have the CPU too under clocked for battery saving more. Regardless of the cause that is definitely something Google needs to work out.

You can try what I suggest above. On Lollipop, the one I know is stock kernel is not the best anymore.
I personally use Hybrid Kernel. For the moment, I see it as the most updated kernel simply because all of the drivers are updated, and there's some CAF code but it works on AOSP wonderfully.
Keep in mind, there are plenty of other good kernels and I have tested them all. This is what works best for ME.
I noticed the same issue with my S4 5.0.1. Turning on power save mode causes lag especially when scrolling anda tapping. I used Root Booster in Battery mode also if it makes the lag worse.
