[Q] Tf700 only using one core? - Asus Transformer TF700

I'm a bit od a Noobe to android, so I hpoe this isn't a "Stupid" question, I searched the Tf700 forum and couldn't find any relevent post specific to the TF700.
I'm running CROMI 3.4.6 ROM, that kernel and Data2SD. The device still seems to lag and run generally below expectations. I installed and ran Trickster Mod and found that onle one of the four cores is enabled and the other three are "Offline". Is this normal? If so, why would they use a quad core processore and only run one core? Is there a way to enable the oother cores to awaken the power of the device?

Try turning the minimum frequency with Trickster to 475000. You tablet will use what it needs as it needs it. My personal thought is it takes a moment to get the cpu out of sleep mode, aka the cause of lag. If you set the minimum frequency a little higher, It wont need a moment to change speeds, it will just process it quicker at first than it would getting out of deep sleep. Only personal preference but it does improve the lag.

By default your device is set to balance mode and in this mode it only use 1 core and if needed 2 core, to provide enough power but also to save battery life. If you want all 4 cores, just go into settings and set to performance mode, then all 4 core will be using under loads. So to answer your question, yes it's normal in balance mode.

Even in balanced mode all 4 cores are used if there is enough load. Just the maximum frequency is capped.

+1 Put some load on it and it should use all 4 cores.
If cromi is still running slowly then don't install fullscreen or asus studio and try a clean wipe.

Which kernel? Some kernels don't OC. Also you must be in performance mode to see 1700

Ummm
Clemsyn's kernel here with the 1.8 oc
I haven't dabbled with voltages.
I'm using System Tuner Pro to push the CPU to max.
I just did a stress test under the kernel with no tweaks set.
No overheat and it didn't reboot until system load hit 3.92
I'll call that good for now.

How would I go about using Clemsyn's kernel with CleanROM 2.3? Are there any risks with combining something like Clemsyn's kernel with a custom ROM?
I didn't really want to ask in the development thread because I didn't think it was for question and answers.
Clemsyn and CleanROM work perfectly together. Check out the dev thread for either, and look at the results...

Joe,
If you have flashed CleanROM 2.3 it's important to be on the JellyBean boot-loader.
If you are still on ICS upgrade to JB. (I won't go into rooting, saving root, custom recovery...blah blah)
Once you have Scotts CleanROM flashed and working.
Simply flash Clemsyn's kernel from a custom recovery.
I will say the risk is less than moderate.
I have had a good experience to this point in time.
______________________________________________________________________________________
*Trying to stay simple here so I won't post links and other confusion.
I'm kind of a dummy or "newbster" if you will myself.
Once I got unlocked I was committed to either bricking or learning how to do this.
I made the mistake of installing Scotts ROM then flashed Clemsyn's over an ICS downgrade.
Dismal results there...so I just started from scratch...learned about flashing thru ADB from my windows PC.
I recommend getting to know the ADB (android development bridge) commands.
ADB is just a command prompt...like a DOS window that speaks to Android on a device.
It's certainly possible to crap the tab using it, yet it's an invaluable tool for flashing.
Used hiemanshu's method to gain root after flashing JellyBean .18.
Worked very well once the procedure clicked in my head.
Tons of help here at the development paradise known as XDA...

If you have CleanROM installed.
Simply flash the kernel.
It works in addition to CleanROM.
Clemsyn's is added to Scotts ROM.

Ok. Awesome! Thanks. If it causes problems for my device, does TWRP allow me to unflash (if that is even a thing)?
Sent from my HTC Rezound
I built a flashable zip with the clean ROM stock kernel. I'll send you a copy of you need it, and you can flash it just like you do with Clemsyn's kernel. I doubt you'll need it...
As noted above, you want to be on the JB (10.x) bootloader. Nothing to do with losing root, saving root, accessing recovery, and all that crap, but there's a restriction on the 9.x bootloader that restricts increased voltages, and this restricts the higher clock speeds associated with the increased voltage...
Personally I would make a backup of the tablet without the Kernal just in case then flash the kernal and if for some reason it doesnt work or you dont like it then you can go back to the recovery.
Don't forget to do a backup in TWRP before each step.
I have been renaming my backups ie; B4CL22, B4CL23, B4Clems22 and so on...you get the idea.
I can keep them straight that way.
Backups are very important as I now know.

Overclocking

Hello, i have a quick question
I have installed CleanROM 3.2.1 odexed, and Unters stock Tf300t OC Kernel. I would like to ask how do you guys feel about overclocking your tab? I have installed SetCPU and limited overclocking to 1,5 ghz in performance mode, do you think i could do any damage to the cpu?
I don't think that kernel has overclocking. But I usually do it. Just don't constantly have it set to the Max CPU or it will shorten the CPU life by a lot.

I have mine overclocked up to 1.8 with Clemsyn's and it also turns the GPU up to 650. I personally love the overclock. It goes good with me running Hydro 6.0 with the cranked GPU, I think it's really only good if you have the GPU power to back it up as well. If you want to overclock it higher, check out Clemsyns!

If his CPU is at 1.5 then it's overclocked, stock runs at 1.3
I think that up to 1,6GHz is harmless

Thank you for the replies, i also thought that overclocking to 1.6ghz will do no harm.
Edit: for some reason i can not boot with Clemsyns 1,6 ghz kernel. I used the kernel installer provided by the OP in the cleanrom thread. Any suggestions?

I honestly can't find the stock frequency of the GPU anywhere, but I know its lower than 500!
Also, don't use the kernel installer in the OP of the CleanRom thread. Go into Clemsyn's thread and download the kernel you want to use.

I say over clocking is doable until 1.6ghz. After that, I don't think it'll be great for the CPU

Mine is at 1.8 and it runs perfectly fine, no issues at all. Got any reasoning to think that it's not good for the CPU?
+1 for overclocking. I'm running the modified Unter kernel for the PA ROM and usually keep mine set at 1.6. Everything just seems to run so much smoother with it turned up.

Missing developer options

I have JB 4.,2 on this TF700 and just ran the unlock tool with the intention of switching to CROMi. I was going to install recovery when I noticed that Developer Options was gone from the settings! How can I set USB debugging on? I THINK I set it when I had ICS, but I now have no way of verifying it.

The highest reached is 2.0 GHz, but it was quite unstable. 99% of all tablets can easily run 2 cores at 1.85 GHz and the other two at 1.8 GHz. The only OC kernel here is Hundsbuah's and he has his own app to change the clocking, but TricksterMod and Android Tuner are very helpful when it comes to the governor and the voltages.

[Q] PLEASE Help Installing [CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.6.9] and reaching quadrant 6614!!

Hello everyone from XDA forum. I am new to everything in this forum lol. I currently have TF300T tablet running the latest 4.2.1 Jelly Bean and Build 10.6.1.15.3. After a week of research over the internet, I have finally unlocked my boot loader and rooted the tablet. I followed the directions from the top of the page of this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204166 on how to install the new [CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.6.9]. My flashing steps are as follow.
1. Made a nandroi backup with twerp TWRP 2.5.0.0
2. While still in TWRP I hit install CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.6.8. Zip when finish I wipe dalvik and cache after rom flash
3. I then hit install again and flash CROMI-X 4.6.9 System Patch Download 1 - 151.88 KB when finish I wipe dalvik and cache after rom flash
4. Booted into system successfully and let the system stay idle for 10 minutes (assuming this is what stabilzing the rom meant)
5. I ran quadrant and only got a score improvement from 3393 stock to a 4601 with the cromi 4.6.9 as oppose to the 6614 score shown on the [CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.6.9] forum page
So my main concern is did I do something wrong in the process of installing the custom rom? I really want to get that quadrant score of 6614. If anyone from the team can help I be much appreciated. Thank you
The screenshot showed the result from the TF700 which obviously have a faster CPU then the 300. You should look at the individual scores at the bottom or you can flash a custom kernel to overclock your device. Even then, I don't understand why you are distressing yourself over something of such trivial significance.
Hint Hint http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40919820&postcount=71 ive got benchmarks of 7000 with it on cromi. Which is about he same as most tf700s, only the tf700 has higher overclocked kernels available, higher revisions of our cpu should be able to handle the same overclocks, but there isn't a high oc kernel to test yet

Well the reason I unlock my tablet was to unleash its full potential with a stable overclock thats why I wanted to reach the "6614" score on quadrant. Anyway, thanks for clarifying. I didn't know that it was a tf700 score, just assume that installing that rom would yield a higher score.

Hey JoinTheReamls, that's an awesome score. Didnt think it was possible to bench that high on a tf300t. Is that kernel from the link you shown provide a stable over clock for a 24/7 a day usage? If not are there any other kernel that's compatible with my current custom ROM? If the rom you mention is stable, how would I go about installing this kernel on my tf300t running 4.2.1 Cromi 4.6.9? Please be thorough with your installation step as I am still fairly a noob. Thank you

That kernel is completely stable for me and should be for you to, if it isnt for you there is a kernel in that thread with 1.75ghz overclock that will be.
installation is very easy, just reboot to twrp and flash the zip. No need for any wipes, this is the same for most android kernel install across most devices
Enjoy
I am pretty sure the Quadrant scores are based on performance mode selected. Try that. I'm getting close to 6000 if I do this.

You should be able to get over 6000 on the TF300 with Hunds kernel. That's will probably be 1000 less.
