Hi guys,
So sorry if there's been threads like this before, but I currently own a stock TF700 on 4.2.1 and like many others, have been disappointed with the performance of the stock rom. I've heard many good things about installing a custom rom, which is why I want to install CROMi-X 4.7. The problem is I literally have no idea where to start lol. If anyone could just point me in the right direction on how to root, unlock, and install CROMi-X 4.7 or provide me with a step by step guide, it'd be much appreciated!
Start by reading this thoroughly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492

I managed to unlock my device, but I'm having trouble rooting it. I tried using motochopper but it keeps getting stuck at "daemon started successfully" and I can't seem to find the newest drivers for Infinity on Asus's website. Can anyone give me the link? Or tell me another way to root my device?
Woops! nvm just got it to root
Before any action, read 10 times tbe "how to install cromi-x" and check every step, every word.
First words are about prerequisites : version of your current stock rom and of your current bootloader. You can find them in your android parameters in last screen "about the tab". Maybe you can put here a screenshot of that screen here.

So I managed to install cromi-x and I have to say I'm pleased with the performance. Quick question tho, if I wanted to change the kernel to a different one, what would be the easiest way to do so. Also anyone have any recommendations on which kernel is the best in terms of speed and performance?

Some experts on this website said that you can just install a new kernel on top of your existing one without any wipe. However, I always wipe dalvik and cache before installing a new kernel on my device. So far with this method, I don't have any problem and they seem to work fine for me... The easiest way to install a new kernel is probably using Kernel Installer by Sbdags from his Cromi X post. I like Hund's kernel for the speed and performance. However, some users complain about heat generated by this kernel. If you use Hund's kernel, you should UV your CPU voltages to reduce heat.
Hope that helps...

Use my kernel installer in the CROMi-X thread post 2 Thanks LMK
The reason I recommend this is that each kernel has its own set of modules, cpu scripts and apps in some cases so if you flash and jump from one kernel to another you could end up with a mismatch of kernel files resulting in an unclean and unbootable system.
My kernel installer takes care of that for you As LMK says Hunds is probably the fastest but does create more heat, _that v4 is the most stable and max's is smooth but still beta.

What do you mean by UV your CPU voltages? How do we go about doing this if we want to try out hunds kernel again? Thanks lmk for the input. Really does help.
Also what are the exact steps in using the kernel installer? Do we have to disable and enable fsyce etc... Or just run the installer and it will give us the option to just run the different kernels do the other modifications automatically?
Thanks!

Just run the installer and it will do the rest. Full aroma like the Rom If you choose hunds it will also auto install his tweaking app which lets you undervolt and overclock.

Not sure yet. It doesn't get that hot. I might try dropping 50mv but tbh if you are OC'ing with hunds you probably need more mv. Why are you worried about battery or heat?

I'm interested in the answer of his question because i believe that a higher cpu speed would mean a shorten lifespan of the tab. Am i wrong ?

Well the tab itself uses 1700 on performance mode. I think you'll be ok up to 1800 but I wouldn't want to be quoted saying that Any time you OC you will get more heat and that is what will kill your CPU/GPU ultimately. I don't think you can UV enough to offset the extra heat. In my testing it was still under the safe zone that I term 60 degrees but it will get 'warm' with extended gaming etc. YMMV.

The power consumed by a CPU is approximately proportional to CPU frequency, and to the square of the CPU voltage.[1] So maybe you can.
[1] According to Wikipedia, according to Intel.

My knowledge is limited but I try to answer your questions of what I know and use on my device.. I am very sure there are many other or better ways you can deal with the UV for your CPU, so please give us some better advices if you know..
What I mean is you can set a lower voltage on Hund's CPU frequencies table that he intended for us to use. Some devices can handle a lower voltage setting than a normal or a typical value with the same performance without any problem. So you can try to lower your CPU voltage and see how low you can go without any crashes. There is always a power loss in any system because of serial resistance that dissipates heat. It is the Ohm's law and we have to live with it...
You can use the third party apps such as System tuner, Trickster, or any apps that allows you to change the CPU voltage. However, more apps will fill up your storage and use up your limited RAM. The better way is that you can go here and add this line at the end of your init.d script.
Go here: /system/ect/init.d/50CleanTWEAKS
Use your File Editor to open the file "50CleanTWEAKS" and add this line: echo "1340 1290 1240 1190 1080 1010 990 960 960 880 850 850 790 750 670 670 600 600 500 500 400 400 400 350 350 350 350" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table at end of this file. You need to save and reboot and that is it. That is the UV that I am currently using without any crash. You can start from there and adjust the voltage (in mV) up and down depend on your CPU.
Kernel Installer is very simple to use. Boot to your TWRP and install the zip file. Select your device and the kernel that you want. About the Fsync, I don't recall that it is in kernel install process. Once again, you can toggle your Fsync on and off with a similar method above..
A last warning, the UV number above will be applied to Hund's V3.2, Not V3.0.6. Hund cleaned up his UV table from 3.0.6 to 3.2. They are more Voltage setting on 3.0.6.. Good luck.
Edit: this is more up to date: echo "1310 1260 1210 1160 1050 980 960 930 930 850 820 820 760 720 640 640 570 570 470 470 370 370 370 300 300 300 300" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

Be aware that if you installed the uv option when installing the rom you will now have a 90UV file in /system/etc/init.d
This will override the changes above as 90 comes after 50 So you should edit that file if it exists instead. For the record this is what 90UV contains:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#Under Volt!
echo "1162 1137 1125 1112 1100 1087 1075 1062 1050 1037 1025 1012 1000 987 975 962 950 937 932 925 912 900 887 875 862 850 841 837 825 812 800 787 775 762 750 725 712 700 687 675 " > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

Thanks for the clarification. I have only one under voltage line on my script. Did you check Hund's new UV table? It is a lot cleaner than the old one. Maybe I am wrong again. Any way, I was surprise that I can run a lot lower with Hund 3.2 which I could not on 3.0.6. Please let me know or give me any suggestion that you have. I will take them and test them out...

I have read several times that we do not have a kernel to support overclocking. If that has changed - hopefully somebody will clarify. If you mean using Tegrak Overclock - you can use it to undervolt.
dsexton posted these values in A.S. Shot v15:

Values for super duper battery life but keeping amazing speed
Go into tegrak and put in the following:
level0 - 1000 - 1155 - 1065
level1 - 800 - 1040 - 1035
level2 - 400 - 955 - 960
level3 - 200 - 835 - 950
level4 - 100 - 825 - 930

With tegrak paid you can OC the phone as well as UV it. I haven't in a while but the option is there with that app.
Here's an old post but pretty sure it would work with the current kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109170
Just OC'd to 1.5 using D's values from the above post. Left the governor as ondemand. Got 4348 on quad using noop with MIUI RC3fixed. So yeah it still works. Be warned it is not stable. Phone locked up as soon as I put it to sleep. To be safe stick with 1.3 or less by choosing CPU max in tegrak. If you want to play with higher frequencies make sure Set on Boot is NOT checked. Fun to playu with but really not needed.

KERNEL BETA 3
I will upload these new self install Boot for testeis as you work. This is what has been modified for maximum performance with minimum power consumption, and above all I sought the maximum stability of the antenna signal to the phone's . reduced to the maximum the notches in the reproduction of music.
CPU
ADDED 4 NEW SPEED TO NUCLEUS KERNEL, NO MODULES NEEDED.
MHZ -100
-400 MHZ
-1100 MHZ
-1200 MHZ
MAXIMUM SPEED FOR SAFETY IS FIXED 1300 MHZ.
ALL THESE WOULD BE THE SPEED. 100 300 400 600 800 1008 1100 one thousand two hundred 1300 You can see that I added two intermediate speeds in low zone, ie 100 and 400, this is so to avoid sudden jumps between frequencies when the workload is medium-high and that the transition is more staggered and I much to adjust consumption. If you look at the graph you can see the reason for this change and will have the answer to why I did not add more fracuencias in uptown. In the high consumption jumps voltage is less pronounced than in the lower. An example: The frequency jump from 300 to 800 is about 0.7 volts, but between 1008 and 1400 rate of just 0.3 volts. I have set both consumption that only jump 1.2 to 1.3 is more pronounced, this is just to avoid blocking the phone with high workload and allows me to lower the voltage. ALLOW THE KERNEL RUNNING SPEEDS FROM MULTICARAGADOR, IF YOU HAVE THE MODULES verions 7.1 and Multiple V1 and V2.
TREATY HAS SIGNAL 3G and 2G INDEPENDENTLY.
SPEED IS SET IN THE MINIMUM CORE VOLTAGE AND ALSO. turns out that one of the first test I was to change the speed to 1200 MHz HSI series is 960 MHZ. The first time you need to change the signal frequency, I was hooked. What happened was this, black screen and I short circuited the battery in 30 minutes, not counting the cell phone I got to 43 degrees. At this point I realized where it was the fault of the baseband, the solution does not was to increase his speed, as I had already had these snags with kernel series, I had to do is the opposite, is to reduce your speed and avoid saturating the CPU with a lot of unnecessary information. The interruption of the kernel does not support more speed of 1000 MHz so the HSI is at 960, because my yours truly has combined an equation that at least on my phone, works perfect. Not to mention that consumption falls a bit silly and stabilizes the signal is much much much. As a paste it can happen that take a few tenths more on connecting with the market, which so far is the only application where I have noticed a drop in benefits ratio, but almost negligible. This could also be because, from the ramdisk I disconnected the use of dual-processor for web browsing. - MORE ADDED FROM ELIGIBLE Governors SetCPU - GET BE THE MAXIMUM TERM AFTER THE SECOND OR THIRD COMPLETE CHARGE CYCLE. - INSTALLING THE KERNEL TO THE MAXIMUM MOBILE BATTERY TO BE THE STATS batery PERFECT.

Had not thought up anything to have a few kernels in the final phase, the problem is being carried out and rise when are still in BETA phase.
My friend samno is testing the last, and I was able to pass the test and who have gone before.
My intention is to raise the end when you have fully repaired the voltages, as I am attaching more frequencies to the kernel.
These are the originals. 300 600 800 1008
These are the ones I've included 100 400 1100 1200
And this is the end result.

Maximum speed with minimum consumption.
Performance Speed in 3g y 2g
Speed in I/O
Teaks in Ramdisk.
Low killer to memory..
No lags
Just say that work very well. I just have to attach more speed to the kernel, but this will have to wait.
The final versions will come soon kernel.
I hope to support, but since I created the thread .. I will have limitations

What does "WITH +" and "WITHOUT +" mean?
Good evening all,
I am currently running vb with the latest above kernel and xda-edition of setcpu...
My question, has anyone found voltages that are stable?
I have always/only used tegrak, when adjusting the voltages I am able to adjust "internal" as well as "core" voltages, as you may know setcpu only allows the adjustment of one voltage. So, I set all levels to the "internal" voltages that worked for me on tegrak(scaling set to smartass), everything was working fine until I rebooted the phone... At that point the phone would boot then freeze after the third media scan, I had to flash back to the b1 kernel to get back up and running.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

You're trying to undervolt? Anton's b5 in undervolted. I'd stick with his recommended values.
How do you actually implement these voltages? I've only used Tegrak so this is new

QUIETLYloud , I dont't have paid Tegrak so I cannot make a thorough test.
I tried using very old Ultimate version available someplace on the web, and it does in fact seem to mess the phone up. I didn't need to reflash, but had to uninstall Tegrak, reboot, clear caches, and rescan SD for errors. Google says that there were issues with Tegrak module and custom kernels, but they were supposedly fixed around version 1.4.
I tied the new free version 1.6.7 from Market. It doesn't let me do much (like setting on boot), but at least it seems to work correctly with frequencies.
The setup with OC kernel is a little different. Before, if you wanted to OC, you would go and enable CPU Max Frequency, which would replace 1 GHz. Do not go there! The kernel already has all overclocking frequencies available. Instead set the Scaling to the highest frequency you want to use (let's say 1.2 Ghz, which is CPU Level 2). Then go to Optimization and set desired voltages for the frequencies you chose. No need to change anything for frequencies above you max scaling, the CPU will not go there anyway. Maybe it's a good idea to completely clear Tegrak data and start setting it up form scratch.
Let me know if you succeed.
Btw common Google knowledge doesn't seem to recommend lowering internal voltages. You will not gain much, there is just not a lot of current draw there. It's the core that draws a lot of current.
EDIT: Hmm... Tegrak seems to have a problem with smartassV2 governor. If the scaling in Tegrak is set to use anything but all frequencies, including 1.4 Ghz, the governor will never lower the frequency from the highest selected. The kernel itself (with SetCPU or without) doesn't have this problem, it's only when proprietary Tegrak module is loaded.
AntonX...
I decided to scrap tegrak for the time being and use what you recommended with setcpu and left voltages alone until I have a better understanding, since doing so haven't had any problems

Btw I said before I set the default voltages kind of safe, even if they are slightly undervolted. I'm running the kernel UV-ed a little more with SetCPU for second day without any issues. Here are my numbers right now:
1.4 - 1350
1.3 - 1300
1.2 - 1275
1.0 - 1250
800 - 1175
400 - 1025
200 - 925
100 - 900
Hi guys
I apologize for some noobness coming this way, but I don't understand. Kernel beta5 is oc/uv - what does it mean if I don't use setcpu/tegrak?
Will kernel behave other than prior versions?
And if I decide to do use setcpu? What good does it make if uv makes no change (according to Antonx) and oc will only drain the battery even more, I mean, phone is pretty much fast, so why bother oc it?
Thanks!

Any input on best configuration to the Atrix 2?
OS: Froyo, GB, ICS leak? With what modifications?
I'm running ICS SCv7 OC'd 1.2 ghz and with that I'm Benchmarked at 6097. However, I'm seeing the Atrix 2 with Benchmarks at 63XX to 65XX. Just trying to get an idea of how to raise it.
Overclocking certainly helps a bit, so does OC'ing the GPU, along with sdcard read/write speeds. Just take a look at what the benchmark scores are based off of. Some A2s are able to run higher CPU scaling frequencies while others are not, so it's a crap shoot. Once the official ICS release finds its way to our phones, the kernel will surely prove higher scores than those found with GB or below...

That's the issue i'm having. I OC'd the CPU and GPU with the help of rdavisct's SCv7 post. I figured i'd be good with that. Then, sharingan92, comes out of left field with his "manual" 1.4 ghz OC statement. Looked everywhere for how to modify my OC scripts. The method you have isn't proven with the 4.0.4 kernel (as you've stated ). Plus, I'm pretty sure the only thing I've gotten for applying rdavisct's zip was a few governors. My system was already running 1.2 ghz before I installed. From what I figure, my A2 could handle a little more...
to overclock on scv7 simply go to system/etc/init.d and look for
91scoc and edit echo 3 and edit 1125 or 1200 to whatever
you would like to overclock to for instance mine is 1400
hope this helps

Screenshots of your 1.4GHz?
Are you sure the 300 > 384 gpu unlock doesnt work on ics ?
Thats a massive setback, we really gonna need that for games released for tegra3

The methodologies are still applicable in my guide for ICS, you just have to find the CPU frequency scripts in your init.d folder (91scoc as sharingan92 stated) and modify them with Root Explorer or Emulator. But you have to bump slowly and test to make sure you'll not have freezes or reboots when trying to find your highest frequency scaling and you might need to raise your vSel/uVolt values as well...

I have an unlocked and rooted but otherwise stock TF700t. I downloaded setCPU and tried to go to 1700Mhz max but it will not go above 1600. I have tried setting min 1700Mhz, tried changing governors and schedulers, but nothing will make it go above 1600Mhz. Is this something ASUS has locked down?

You should go and try custom ROMs and especially their kernels to overclock.
I don't think the stock yet rooted kernel allows overclocking.
For what it's worth, running the Zeus ROM, CPU Master reports 1700 Max... Although, I don't think it has anything to do with the kernel in this case (it uses stock kernel) - I think the max speed can be tuned via some settings at the OS level (via root, of course). Take a look at the cpu1.sh, cpu2.sh and cpu3.sh scripts in /etc - they are the PowerSave, Balanced and Performance modes (those scripts get run when switching modes).

I have stock + rooted, I can selected 1700 with SetCPU. This is stock speed, no over clocking, no custom rom required. Do you have the latest update (version .26)?
If it is set to run at max, it will run at max when needed. AFAIK it's 1700 for the 1st core and 1600 is for multi-core use.
I too have seen tbis happen except im using system tuner to set it to max. When i set it to hit 1.7 it seemed it only ran 2 cores mostly one. Not all 4. When i set max to 1.6 all 4 cores are on.
