Hello,
I just try this on my Asus Transformer and it seem to make a big different on the tablet smoothness.
Before when I either wake up the TF or running allot of program, it would lag allot. After the ram tweak, I can said it does make a different. Even after I had almost fill my memory up to 90%, opening new programs and swapping screen is fast. Android does a decent amount of work and return my memory back to 150 (and up) with the OOM Kill task. It did not cure my SOD problem.
I am current running the ram optimization with no other ram optimizer or task killer.
Here my TF configuration:
Prime 1.5, Netformer 1.5 @ 1.5GHZ, SD Boost, and Script Ram Optimization. The link is below. Check it out and let me know how it goes on your transformer. As always, make a nano backup before the tweak.

Hi, if you're running prime 1.5 it has support for sysctl changes built in. By using /system/etc/sysctl.conf_default as a guide, simply put the desired settings into the /system/etc/sysctl.conf file and these will be applied on reboot by the 04sysctl init.d script that's already in the rom.
Or just use the script for the post above, it should work fine too.
nice work !
By the way, what is SD Boost?
can i use this tweak with the netformer kernel and stock rom?

The default settings for I/O is really slow when it comes to SD r/w. With SD Boost app on market, it'll tweak the I/O parameters on boot. If you're running Prime, then it is already tweaked for you and is permanent.

But those files can be applied on stock rom with root and Kernel netformer 1.5 or i can fall in some issue if i don't have prime 1.5 installed into TF?

Apps like that or SD Speed Increase should be fine with just a rooted device at minimum.

and the RAM tweak? if i apply it with CWM on the stock rom (as i have done with wpa_supplicant to turn on Ad-Hoc connections) it's ok or i can have issues?
Here is what Roach2010 already has in the kernel by default:
[taken from the /system/etc/sysctl.conf_default file in PRIME v1.5]
NOTE: only the values that relate to what is in the script that the OP links to
Code:
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5
vm.dirty_ratio = 20
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 500
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 200
vm.swappiness = 60
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 100
Here are the values to place into the /system/etc/sysctl.conf file that Roach2010 mentions above:
NOTE: these are the replaced values that relate to the script the OP links to
Code:
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5
vm.dirty_ratio = 90
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 1000
vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 500
vm.swappiness = 50
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 10
Looks to be similar to this app => https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rs.autokiller&feature=search_result

Cheers. I guess it falls in the same basket as autokiller etc. Highly debatable subjects.
Just from my experience. When I have using the TF for 4 hours, I would have use over 10 programs. opening the android market up would take at least ten seconds or more. With the ram tweak, it open up in two seconds.
Opening all other programs there after are just as quick, as if you first start up the Transformer. Switching from screen to screen is very smooth. Where with out the tweak it would lag for a few seconds if I have allot of programs running.
My experience with the tweak vastly improve the usability of the tablet. Then again, it is subjective.
Did not know Prime 1.5 already have the SD Boost tweak? Can anyone recommend me a SD Card benchmark tools that can work on the microsd, SD, and internal storage? Been looking on the market, but not that work for all the storage slots in one tools.
Thanks
I am using the Clemsyn version 16 kernel. Can I use the CWM RAM Script?
Thanks a lot
I don't see why not. OC does help with loading up the program faster and durning usage. The ram tweak help with the multitasking part. It use subjective though.
Do a backup before tweaking it.

A complete nandroid backup would a safer bet in this instance, or any other instance for that matter, in case you can't boot into your TF for whatever reason. It'll also be more convenient than having to find out which exact files are being modified and to use a root file manager to manually copy and paste the current versions before flashing.
It seemed to help me on my tf. Surprisingly I didn't have anything in my sysctl.conf before I added this in.

I have asus eee transformer with kernel netformer 1.5 @1,5 ghz and prime 1.4 but after a succesfull flash wirh cwm i don't see the file in the folder and with the other metod i can't change permissions with root explorer, what have to do?*
Here is the next version of my HTC Evo Shift Sense kernel. It was built from the 2.3 gingerbread source. It should be stable and smooth as that was my main goal with this. I usually dont come here to XDA as often, so you may receive better support for questions/concerns here at SDX
Kernel Features:
Undervolted
Overclocked to 1.92Ghz
Interactive governor added
Smartass governor added
Enabled powersave governor
Faster charging over USB (Still slower than AC Wall charger)
BFQ (Budget Fair Queuing) i/o scheduler
Full bash mod (Gives you working directory, command history, tab completion and a shameless plug of my kernel in the shell )
Enabled ext4 filesystem support
Included HAVS/SVS support for Vipermod or incredicontrol (thanks to cayniarb and his tiamat kernel for guidance)
Init.d scripts supported (needs testing)
Default Settings:
Max Frequency = 1.209GHz
Min Frequency = 245MHz
Governor = Interactive
I/O Scheduler = BFQ
Download a cpu control application like No-Frills/SetCPU from the market for editing these settings.
Information:
The bash mod is something that cloverdale proved was what people liked so I went ahead and edited the ramdisk and zip to set that up so thanks to him for that.
After playing with the frequency table a bit, I changed methods this time and used the CM method for overclock on this phone. Its a method I saw several developers use while on 2.2 and seemed a bit cleaner than the method that I had originally set up. Thanks to toast, for the implementation of that.
This is still something I want to improve so I really need some feedback as to what you guys want to see. I will try my best to fulfill all logical suggestions.
With the bash mod, if you flash a kernel over this, it may (depending on the script method) remove the nice pretty text for the shell. It will still be functional as that part is installed to the phone itself. I will post up a 'bash removal' zip to restore back to default eventually
Ext4 FS has been added. It requires you to convert your filesystem from ext3 to ext4. Ive made it pretty simple for you to do with a script inside of a flashable zip. If something goes wrong, please let me know.
HAVS/SVS passes the VDD (Voltage draw for each frequency) values to userspace, meaning that they can be set by the user. While nothing NEEDS to be done for it to work, users now of the option of tweaking the voltages just a bit in order to increase their battery life. This was tested with the free application 'incredicontrol' from the market. ANY and ALL bug reported due to the fact that you dropped the voltages a bit to much will be ignored. This is DUE AT OWN RISK. I can tell you that from my experience, dropping down 50mv is about as far as you can go on my kernel. Good luck.
To anyone wanting to learn how to start getting into development, Please email, PM, or find me on irc #gen-dev, #sdx-developers, #htc-evo-3d on irc.freenode.net. I will teach you whatever I can as best I can. It is the only way to progress the development community. Ive spent hours teaching several over the past week and countless hours in the past. Please do not hesitate to ask.
Kingdom ROM Users:
Thanks to nfinitefx45 for letting me know what had to be changed in the ramdisk, I now have a new zip for this ROM that includes the full bash mod.

FAQ:
Q: What is EXT4?
A: Ext 4 is the newest version of the extended filesystem. It is mainly used as the default linux filesystem in most distros. It has improved read and write speeds over the previous versions (ext3 and ext2) It should provide slight speed improvements over the default filesystem on the shift, ext3.
Q: Why do I have to 'convert' my filesystem and is it necessary?
A: My ext4 kernel will only mount system, data, cache, and devlog partitions as ext4. It is not 100% necessary to convert the existing filesystem to ext4 as ext4 is backwards compatible, meaning it can mount ext3 partitions as ext4. By converting it to true ext4, you will be able to take full advantage of ext4 speed.
Q: Will this affect the way I flash ROMs and modifications?
A: In theory, no. The ROM should flash like normal but if they do have a custom kernel included, it will be necessary to flash an ext4 kernel after the ROM.
Q: Is this safe?
A: While working with partitions and their filesystem is considered risky on any account, I have made the conversion zips as simple and as safe as I possibly can. If any corruption does occur, it is usually fixable but should not happen in the short life of these devices.
Q: Does this change the way the backup and restore functions work in CWM or TWRP?
A: No, it should not effect the way the recoveries backup and restore data. There have been some notification of the 'wipe' functions in 'mounts and storage' reformatting back to ext3 but, you should be able to just flash the conversion zip again to return to ext4.
Q: I want to use a different kernel that is not ext4.
A: You will need to flash the EXT3 conversion zip to return your partitions to ext3. Then flash like normal.
Q: AOSP ROMs are on ext4, why do they not require the conversion?
A: While this was an option, I felt it best to do ext4 100%. An ext3 partition can be mounted as ext4 and it will provide some speed enhancements but, it is not full ext4. AOSP roms are simply mounting the ext3 partitions as ext4 which is fine, just not my preferred method.
Q: Will this effect my sdcard in anyway
A: No it will not.
Q: What do I do if something goes horribly wrong and my phone is stuck in a bootloop and I cant pull it out?
A: This is a help forum, post your issues and I or another helpful person will help you. If you are not receiving help, PM me or email me at [email protected] and I will get back to you.

Video calling support is in the newer aosp kernels. If you need a start on where to look. I don't think the .13 one does tho I could be wrong. Not sure how easy it would be to impliment. Best of luck tho.

Does Overclock pay?
I especially mean, is it really remarkable on games (angry birds seasons eg), transitions, general performance?
Which method/apk u use(d)?
How much do you personal overclock?
Is it stable if phone´s use long times?
concerning this, what is a governour?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Well to be brief it pays
Though the entire experience is not that good if you try to run an HDPI game on our LDPI device, you can experience some lag of half screens
but other games like angry birds and all run flawlessly
The FPS of the games increase by appreciable numbers(Like sandstorm and other gameloft games ), though I havent yet faced any stability issue (Except the frequent Market FC) other things work normally
I use Lagfree governor and Deadline I/o scheduler
In short words governor determines how the frequency of the cpu changes with respect to the load on it
Thank you for the reply.
So I know it pays to overclock, now, as I won´t brick my second fit, is a question to me, how do I do this in a secure way?
Is is depending which ROM I use?
Is it APP or do I have to flash Kernel?
If it is Kernel which one matches with my ROM?
Many Questions, but before I make this step, I´ll be as sure as possible about this topic.
i've OCed my galaxy fit and so far i'm getting the best of my phone without any drawback. well if there IS a drawback, i think the only drawback it has is because of the governor which causes the phone unstable.
and to answer what a governor is, it's simply like a CPU manager which controls ur CPU speed at anytime. suppose i put my phone in my pocket and i don't use it, of course i don't want my phone to work 100%, no? so the governor slows down the CPU speed. of course, u can control what is the minimum speed of ur CPU (so far it's as low as 122 MHz for galaxy fit) and also what is the maximum speed (so far it's as high as 801 MHz)
there's so many governors but so far, the most battery conserving, yet doesn't sacrifice your phone performance when u need it most, is interactiveX. and the most performance efficient, yet doesn't suck a lot of battery juice when u don't use ur phone, is smartassV2. if u wanna know more about governors and I/O schedulers u can check it here
so far, the only OC-able ROM i know for galaxy fit is CM7, which is still unofficial but working properly without any significant bugs. and yes it needs to be flashed using CWM (it's CWM v5.0 for galfit so far). after u do that, u need to install some app like "no frills CPU" (market available) or "setCPU" (also market available) to make use the governors and set the max or min speed for your CPU.
to sum it up, how to OC ur galaxy fit (if u're using stock ROM or by now, CREED's ROM):
1. install CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) link for tutorials and reference
2. flash CM7 (CyanogenMod 7 custom ROM) using CWM. link for tutorials and reference
3. flash ur kernels using CWM also. link for tutorials and reference
4. install CPU manager app like no frills or setCPU.
5. set ur max/min CPU speed, and choose the governor properly.
*update*
sorry for the wrong link. and by the way, did u bricked ur previous galaxy fit by using ROM manager? if u did, be careful coz this CM7 is pre-installed with ROM manager. i suggest u uninstall it immediately after u've flashed ur CM7. install Titanium Backup then go to the backup/restore tab, search the ROM manager, then uninstall it. ROM manager still isn't compatible with galfit tho
that's it and i don't mind u clicking the thanks button
Thank you also for the comprehensive answer.
I just have another question to that (gosh I hope I don´t get annoying to you all folks):
As I am using CWM and running ext4 and did the backup of my actual sys and would flash to cm7 like described in your answer, the cm7 is working fine etc, will I be able to "switch" back to Creeds ROM by chosing my backup, using cwm or do I have to flash it all anew?
i'm afraid i don't know the answer to that, sir.
well say that u've done the backup now when u're in CREED's ROM, u flash it to CM7 then u wanna revert it back to CREED's ROM, i think the safest way is to flash it all new the CREED's ROM, then do the restore data using CWM.
well, my guts say that if u're in CM7 n u do the restore data in CWM, u'll get back your ol' CREED's ROM, but it's just my guts sayin
I´ll try and report
I tried to start, but your links lead all to the same, the cwm Install Instructions.
still need cm7 link (cuz I am not sure which one of that) for cwm and the oc kernel (which I also dunno, which one of them. So if you pleasssse ...

sorry for the long reply, it's sleep time in my country lol
mount system is a command to mount ur system folder in order to install the required. in this case, u're installing the kernel, so u need to mount the system in the recovery mode. to do that, go to recovery mode (since now u're using CM7 u can go to rec mode using the power button, choose reboot, choose recovery). then choose mount and storage, choose mount/system. don't worry, it's completely safe.
by the way, u also need to mount system for installing google apps in ur CM7 ROM. CM7 ROM is not preinstalled with google apps (including market, maps, and so on), so u need to install it manually using CWM also, flash the zip files provided in the tutorial thread. it's called gapps_bla bla bla if i remember correctly.
when i was flashing the google apps, i didn't get the market and maps application. so i install it manually using this link.
but i just read some guy with the same problem, n he said this.
haven't tried the later, maybe that'll work also.

Thanx again for all the effort. Sleep is an overestimated thing
But to be serious. I also slept and thought about that all and decided, first to stay with Creeds Rom, cuz it is fast, runs stable, looks good and has many features I apreciate.
Maybe I come back later to that point I wanna Install cm7oc, then I know where to look.
Still lets me no rest.
There´s still a new question in my head about the OC-Kernel.
there are many to chose, so which one is the most stable?

There are two 768 MHz and 801.2 MHz
Both are stable
There is also a general question about oc.
why can´t I just use an overclocktool like no-frills or cpumaster on any kernel?
They "promise" to increase speed, so why install OC Kernel first?
Although I know it must have a reason, cuz you oc-guys all do it.
kernel is the cars engine
no=frills is the accelerator
thats the way i understand it /
yes overclocking your device gives you that extra mile ..by which you can run apps faster ..your phones bagginess goes!!! but has its cons also!! ..it does reduce your life expectancy of cpu atleast theoretically .. and you will get reduced battery life + your device will heat up a bit more than usual! ..other than that its awesome to have an oc.
I finally can conclude, Overclocking really pays. And still I can decide to keep my OCed cell running with 600 at max or give it a little or maybe big OC.
Thank you all guys for helping me, sharing your knowledge.
I am searching for a program like no-frills, which can also decide by profile (maybe even autodetect) when my phones connected to charger ---> use this profile/governor, if it is running from battery ---> that profile.
Does a program like this exist?

Do not flash on anything else than an GT-S7500! No L model or W model, else you get a shiny brick.
Don't forget your warranty will get void if you flash this trough odin. (Unless someone figures out a way to reset the custom binary counter)
So flash AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Based on official Samsung Sources. Governors copied from freexperia github. Other changes by me.
Features:
- unsecured
- smartassV2
- SavagedZen (beware: in sleep mode cpu speed is capped at 480Mhz)
- noop sheduler by default
- minimium frequency set at 122Mhz
- enabled 19Mhz and 61Mhz frequencies (use setcpu or similar)
Click to expand...

Tested with S7500XXLC2/S7500OXXLC1/S7500XXLC2. Flash with odin.
OC Build:
- Overclock frequencies seem to have the same performance but OC is indeed working, thanks to mb-14!
(Confirmed after many tests quadrant/setcpu/neocore cpu frequency is the same from minimal overclock to 1200Mhz)
- My phone as crashed 3 since I've overclocked it, so beware!
- Unless there is a better way of ocing, my newer builds will have oc disabled.
OC build v2 (31 May, 22h):
- Removed all overclock frequencies but 1200Mhz.
Bugs affecting all builds (even official ones):
- "Fuel gauge" might be bugged (maybe due to old/bugged samsung sources?) update:might be an rom bug instead.
- 3 pole headphones have noise in one channel and then the noise disappears (jack sensing bug?)
Sources Help & feedback are appreciated.
EDIT:
New kernel posted minimal changes again (samsung config updated from a new version LE1)
If you don't want an yellow triangle at boot flash my custom rom and then flash the kernel using the terminal.
1-Extract the tar.md5 file
2-Copy the boot.img to the sdcard
3-Use the terminal (or adb) as root to cd to the sdcard folder
4-Then type this "dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"
If you want to flash a custom recovery it works too, type "dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12"
Then you can flash whatever rom you want as long you don't use odin to flash an custom kernel or recovery you can keep your warranty intact (if you never flashed any custom kernel/recovery that is).
Keep in mind that this doesn't clear the counter only makes the triangle go away.

Custom recovery based on cm9 (5.5.0.4) posted (appears to work fine but more testing is required). Bootloop fixed. If you get stuck in recovery (unknown boot mode) go to "advanced" and choose "reboot recovery" when it is finished rebooting into cwm again choose "reboot system now".
DEVELOPMENT IS STOPPED. I no longer have the ace plus.
successfully flashed on my S7500DDLD1...only thing i noticed is after the flashing is complete phone doesnt boot normally but stays in download mode so i manually rebooted and i have ur kernel on my phone...take ur time and improvise it (startup scripts ,CM/MIUI support) , ALL THE BEST...
Wot's the benefit to flash custom kernel??.... Anyway gud step move ahead in making custom rom also for ace plus

Odd mine rebooted and worked fine on first attempt. I've only messed with one script so far. I'm still thinking what I should add to the kernel.
I'm trying to build aosp but so far no luck.

So far it's to have new governors and a new sheduler.
BUG :
1 . When on savagedzen gov unlocking the phone from sleep is delayed/laggy also if u r listening to music and the lock the screen then the music starts lagging tried increasing the min freq still the same , may be something like a deep sleep or sod bug..

I'm trying to reproduce the bug, but since my phone is still charging I can't seem to get the music lagging. What music app and music format are you using?

Strange I can't seem to make it lag on savagedzen. The UI feels slower but music isn't lagging. Do you have any sound effect enabled?
Edit: I've got lag when using the EQ and waking the phone.
Edit 2: I've uploaded a hopefully fixed version, let's also hope that the changes that I made won't screw up the battery life.
flashed test kernel 3
the same bug exists wen used with EQ but the intensity of the bug is only 20% compared to the previous one also increasing the min freq to 480 completely nullifies the bug...also with EQ off the bug doesnt exist
will see how the battery life is... btw have u played with the drivers/bus to change the battery life...?
I can't get any lag at all now (after v3). Can you give my all your parameters? EQ settings, mp3 bitrate, where is your music stored and if using an sd card what type of sd card are you using.
I've set the minimum at 19Mhz and on air plane mode and by morning I still had the same battery than yesterday (89%).
The only thing that I changed was the cpu frequency table to include 800 Mhz at the same voltage than 600 Mhz and so far it seems ok, but might not be true to all phones.

I've posted a link to the sources on github. I'm still learning how to use git. But I'm still uploading the sources.
Edit: Uploaded!
Can anybody help me with the cpu frequencies? I've cracked part of it but I don't know what to change since if OC to 1200Mhz I only get 600 Mhz performance
I've attached the table I'm using (xls since ods xda upload gave me the finger lol)

Check my fork of your kernel on my github.I have got OC working.
P.S: Could you update your repo to the latest kernel source from samsung?My net speed is very sucky

I don't see any new kernel versions on the Samsung open source release center.. I'm still going to test oc did you change anything else than the CPU frequency table?
Edit: Overlclock is working! Thanks to mb-14!
Anyway it looks like the cpu when on OC is always working at the same frequency, since by overclocking it to 1017 I get an 150 ms reduction on setcpu native bench. And it remains the same for all the other frequencies.
For what I've understanded of PLL and CPU clocks looks like the cpu is running at 1200 MHz. (In the frequency table you can claim any frequency but it doesn't mean the cpu is running at that speed)
Edit: With OC my phone crashes after a while (ram dump mode)
Edit 2: Neocore doesn't seem to care too about the cpu frequency I set above the stock 1008Mhz. From 1017Mhz to 1200Mhz the score is always the same (85,6Fps)
Hello,
i have flash your kernel and its running very good!
Galaxy S7500
2.3.6 (S7500XXLA3)
Antutu 3596
Quadrant 2458
Neocore 85,4fps (1018mhz-1200mhz)
with OC 1,2GHZ and Performace mode
thanks!
I wait for the next version

So you found no difference between overclocked frequencies too?
Unfortunately, no difference....
im upgrading the kernel...
my wish:
can you try to integrate the BLN mod?
I found a manual but I have to search again...
thanks
Edit: with new test_stable kernel (1008mhz) 84,3fps neocore
before with 1018mhz it was at 85,4fps

the bln mod sounds useful I will check it out!
Edit: flash the new oc version
Yesss!It is very useful!!
neocore says 85,5fps
Edit: The statistic from nofrills cpu control shows that cpu step 61mhz not is in use.my min frequenz is 19mhz.
sorry for my bad english im german ;-)
who finds fault, may keep them ;-)
Hi everyone,
It's my fist post on XDA forum :angel:
I have problem with overclocking my GPU in Sensation. I tried to change "30000000" to "echo 32000000" in max_gpuclk file.
(/sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk)
But it does not work. I use "root explorer".
After editing file and click save changes I see something like that: "File saved. Original file backed up as max_gpuclk.bak"
But when I trying to check this file there is still "300000000"
Any ideas ?
:fingers-crossed:

If I'm not wrong, you need to have a kernel which supports the 320Mhz 3D GPU value in order for you to OC to that value. Which kernel are you using?

Shouldn't have any problems with SebastianFM's kernel. Is it because you realize that it doesn't stick after a reboot? In order to get the settings to stick, you need to put it into a script and place the script in the /etc/init.d folder.
I use this app, works very very good, for oc cpu, gpu, voltages, and some tweaks like disable vsync.

go to system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
search for the line echo '300000000' sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpu_maxclk
change the ' ' to 320000000
and see if it changed.i think it will work

for sure check gpu_maxclk if it shows you 320000000
follow the path as i mentioned in my previous post
