SetCPU master coolbho3000 has updated his app to include support for the Tegra 2. It's available at all the familiar places.
2.2.0 - Added an "In Call" profile. Improved the Set on Boot safemode function by including a flashable zip that toggles SetCPU's safemode. Press menu on the main tab for more details. Added autodetect support for all Tegra 2 fakeShmoo kernels (ie. G2x). Added a "Voltage" tab for undervolting the CPU on fakeShmoo kernels, some custom Galaxy S kernels, and some Nexus S kernels. This is a full-fledged interface for undervolting these devices, and includes backing up and restoring and a Set on Boot checkbox. Improved the way SetCPU initially requests root. Various miscellaneous bugfixes.
Undervolting in SetCPU, now that's fantastic. By far the best purchase I've made on the market.

Also has a cool feature that allows you to extract a zip file to your sdcard in case you've set it to 1.5/1.5 and your phone freaks out. You can just boot into recovery, flash the zip and it resets setcpu.
I must say, SetCPU 2.20 is quite amazing... worth every penny
Note to ppl who upgraded from existing setcpu...re-detect your cpu speeds from the main screen. Otherwise, voltage tab will force close on you.
What would you set "in-call" to?

I have 400/400 for screen off. I set in call to slightly higher at 400/500.
I'll need to test it tomorrow during calls and see if the screen wakes up quicker after a call ends.
For benching, I set it at 1500/1500 at 1300mV with no profile set for maximum power, and I'm getting much lower benchmarks in Smartbench 2011, than I was with pimpmycpu. Why do you think that would be?
pimpmycpu: 4400-4700
setcpu: 3700-4000
Wow very nice.
yes nice news ! Im happy to see old school

I did the same, but unfroze SETCPU and FROZE pimpmycpu.
In the transition, the battery got drained quite a bit over a few minutes, and heated up pretty fast when initially recharging. I had rebooted in between, but there may still have been some residual conflicts between the apps.
It froze at one point, but after a battery pull, it settled down. Overnight battery drain (with screen-off profile set pretty low) was only 4% over 8 hours. This is on EB 1.0.2 and faux stock kernel. Quadrent "only" around 4000, but everything works and this has apparently improved battery life.
A note on pimpmycpu - I thought scaling to min had stuck, but apparently not. Battery consumption was 12-15 % overnight compared to the above.
Thanks OP! I severely dislike pimpmycpu...

I have not seen that, although compared to Quadrent, I had not seen the very high scores that some had. I doubt SETCPU would impact you OC'd performance at max setting (although pimp had scheduler settings and SETCPU does not).
My single core Xperia play is pretty much on par in terms of internet speed compared to this quad core tegra 3 tablet and it sometimes even loads slightly faster on my xperia play. Why is this and is it normal behaviour? They are both still fast but i would expect my tablet to kinda smoke my xperia play.

The firmware is probably not even close to finished yet (ie there are various bugs who will be fixed either by Asus or the community (us)).
You can try browser2ram ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25286407#post25286407 ) and see if it makes a big difference (it should).
Note that your browser history and settings may not (as in maybe) be saved while in a browser session with browser2ram installed (if your tablet crashes and/or you use a task killer and reboot/power down and/or other stuff).
(I haven't tried it, btw. I will when I get the urge)
I'm unrooted on both devices so can't use browser2ram. Thanks for the suggestion though

Other simple reasons for your differences are......You are comparing smaller screen with larger screen ...page rendering will be different size 50 KB vs 150 KB etc..similarly web browser may be different ...opera mobile (which renders pages faster) on phone vs stock browser on tab etc..
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I think it pretty much comes down to internet speed being the bottleneck. I think both devices have pretty good wi-fi chips and can browse at same speeds, but rendering on the phone would be less resource intensive since its a smaller screen and all..
all i have been reading is how great the phone is . even i love the Samsung Galaxy S4 but im sure that the phone has some negative aspects as well. i request the users of the Samsung S4 to please point out the negative aspects of the phone if any ...

For me, the biggest negative is that the phone is not fast enough comparing to S3. Although, it might be touch wiz problem than hardware, because Nexus 10 feels much fluid and smooth.
Basically, I did expect a better performance.

Is a fault from Samsung that an external app (Chrome) uses a lot of RAM? NO.

Maybe because Chrome doesn't use a fixed MB, it uses a % of RAM. More ram more %.

it has a lot of features and a 1080p screen (yes the 1080 has more than twice the pixels of 720 that it needs to use memory for the GPU), it needs to use up some extra ram to run smoothly. imagine how slow it would be if it used 550mb and kept swapping it out
furthermore ive got a droid 3 with 512mb of ram... even with a custom rom with zero bloat this thing had like 50-100mb left to run apps... imagine how disappointed i am with it -_-

this isnt a legit complaint because its the fastest phone in the world. when i build a computer i expect some of the parts to sometimes run warm. in fact, my 7970 runs around 60 celsius under full load. the latest greatest technology is expected to get a little warm lol...
besides who ISNT going to use this thing as a hand warmer during the winter? lol
I too experience phone restarts when entering the camera app. Battery drains on average 10% every hour ( or more ) on medium use. Reached 50C degrees battery temp when browsing app, it got very uncomfortable to hold in the hand.

Yeap, I disabled all of them.
Still, when routinely switching between camera -> gallery -> email -> back to camera the transition between windows is very slow. And it's not because of animation, but probably because the phone needs to restore the state of a next app and it takes ages.
The phone is ok, but I expected more from 2013's hardware.
My phone never restarted itself, camera has crashed 2 times in 3 weeks, I don't have a problem with overheating, even if I use it all day (batterry draining is normal for a quadcore with 1080 screen... it lasts high use about 5-6 hours )

I am opening this thread because I am going crazy with my tablet.
I have N8010. I installed Hyperdrive and then Zeus kernel.
I have horrible lag when opening apps. I mean the empty white/black/whatever scree while the app loads.
And the battery life is horrible as well.
I have tried to play with the parameters, but to no avail.
Do you have any tips or better - any good kernel parameters that work best?
On n8000 i had such an effect when using some custom governors i.e. ondemand. Maybe you should reconsider your cpu settings? In my opinion pegasusq gives the best effect, as it is designed for quadcores, other governors may not support the algorithm for hotplugging every core separately and the cores frequency are linked or some cores are disabled. Seems the default governor choice is the most common error of kernel devs.
Also, you should try to clear /cache.

Voltage control (free app):

Or
Set CPU (not free app) with governor on demand or interactive from min 400 to max 1400/1600 mhz if OC'd should fix that lag. Start up the cpu controlling app of your [email protected] boot up if your want that performance speed and make sure to set your screen brightness just halfway on the bar. That way your battery can't run out too fast due to your screen being bright. Also if you have too many applications running try uninstalling one's you really don't need and freezing some others you aren't [email protected] the moment. Some of our favorite apps with the nicest looking UI uses the most memory to run which in turn can slow down any android phone/tablet.

I would guess you have an app or some such process that is using up resources. I run RLS2 and it's smooth and I easily get two days on a battery with moderate usage.
I highly recommend "better battery stats" to help identify what's going on. The CPU tab and processes tab will show what's going on at any time. For example, I watched ESPN on the tablet yesterday, then put it down after closing the app. When I came back a couple hours later, I found that the screen was on and the tablet very warm. Better battery stats showed that the ESPN app was still running in the background.

Balance is key my friend... the whole point of ktoonsez' kernel (well more like his govenor ktoonservative) is power with battery conservation. Even with 2x 2600 you need some or else you will kill both in a day. I have an anker 5600mah battery and it is possible to kill it in a day just from screen use.

Stock kernel settings (Ondemand at 1.8 GHz or something like that). Yes, you heard me, stock. Overclocking won't do much for you at all. The other thing you're changing is the governor, which simply chooses when to ramp up the clockspeed from resting state. Changing the governor isn't going to get you more FPS on something, or really even much faster load times, for the phone will ramp up to full speed when doing work or animations.
It's fun to tweak and play with this sorta stuff, but really, you're really just gonna get placebo in terms of speed, and if you try to save battery through undervolting, you'll either have rather unnecessary performance loss or instability. Also, overclocking runs the risk of burning up the phone, and possibly destroying it to where it never turns on again all for something you can barely notice.
You really wanna speed up your phone, make things load quicker, and overall make the experience faster? Get Greenify and hibernate any apps you don't actively use (you'd be amazed at how much some background apps like Facebook consume.) Go into your Developer Options and set the animation speeds to 0.5x (or even off). Use a custom launcher such as Action Launcher or Nova Launcher that will help you access your apps quicker. Get the AOSP web browser, which tends to be faster than the other browsers. Just don't go overclocking your phone acting like that 0.3 GHz of extra power usage and potential instability is making any more than a few fractions of a second in difference.
