Yeah, I know... But I have these apps running because I want them ;) I am not all about raw speed when I can't have any widgets etc running LOL!! But thanks for the advice buddy :) The overall experience is smooth so I ain't complainin'!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
This, please make it GPL compliant.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallman:
my setcpu was on "ondemand" I set it to "interactive", unchecked "set on boot", wiped cache, reflased the 1.6ghz kernel, rebooted and at the lock screen it rebooted on its on. Upon the second boot is is frozen at lockscreen. Is it set cpu making it freeze? I dont quire understand how you overclock without setcpu to do it. will try to uninstall set cpu to test
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stuntdouble:
+1 to this. Keep up the good work. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mr.stylo:
Sorry, have to put that on my signature :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallman:
uninstalled setcpu and no more freezes. does that mean i am still running at 1.6?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] funnycreature:
Unlikely. And that might be the reason why it's working now :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallman:
LMAO, hmmm. I guess im confused how it was mentioned a few posts back that overcloking was happening without SetCPU. How do you set the clock without setcpu?

edit: i get a 3800+ quadrant score and i am running lots of widgets. Something must be working
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] funnycreature:
Maybe I am wrong! It's possible that SetCPU is just used to adjust the clock speed. I always thought I needed SetCPU to take advantage of overclock speeds... maybe one of the geniuses here can explain it to my dumb brain!?!? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
I would like to see the source of this kernel as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallman:
i am with ya. we have the same understanding. I just had a random reboot so again, all these signs point to it being overclocked. i will try a different ROM later and see how things go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
I'm seeing a 1.6 GHz kernel floating around the first post. Stable enough for use? :D

EDIT: Nah, not too stable on my TF101. Locks up and reboots at random times. I'll stick to the 1.5 GHz one for now. :)

EDIT 2: Took advice from others here, set up SetCPU to interactive to prevent (hopefully) the lockups. Wish me luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spuniun:
While SetCPU will allow you to adjust the governor and frequency of the CPU, there is a default running value built into the kernel that will be used on each reboot when nothing else changes it (init or SetCPU running at boot).

You can see the currently running values manually with:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

You can edit those values on the fly (this is what SetCPU does with a GUI interface):

echo "1508000" /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo "1508000" /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

You can find the kernel source on ASUS's website: http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallman:
that setting didnt stop my lockups, uninstalling setcpu did
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
Really? Okay, will do.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Yes, because this exact kernel is 100% asus source and is not modified in any way because all our TF's were shipped overclocked and overvolted. :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] -shift-:
yes, but he's referring to the source of THIS kernel, including the modifications done, in order to be gpl-compliant.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
So this kernel is an official Asus release?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
Okay, it seems that even using the 1.5 GHz OC and uninstalling SetCPU didn't really work as I had hoped. I've been through some reboots while testing. So what could be the problem? I envy you guys for having the 1.6 GHz mod working stable. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallman:
stable can be relative :) But, as im sure you know, all CPUs aren't created equally. You may have the awesome fortune of getting one of the less tolerant ones. Im not a kernel guy but ive dabbled in just about everything and my gut tells me #1 it isnt as stable as you believe it is across the board although some are experiencing better results than you and #2 these guys have to be reaching the max speed tolerable by the lack of cooling on the device. 60% overclock is unheard of in the realm of uncooled devices.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallman:
i know i didnt need to confirm but this works great. so i confirm anyway
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cosine83:
@Blades

Might want to get a source repo up for this before the XDA mods lock this down. Seen it happen on other boards for kernels w/o source.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
So, how many of you have successfully overclocked to 1.6 GHz and not have any issues at all?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cowballz69:
Blades work and comments are epic !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
He is one of our devs at gtabs :-) and I can attest he is very good in what he does. 1.7 is difficult for some tegra chips though without some extra voltage unless asus got some good chips in the transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cowballz69:
hes like a mad scientest lol, been a hard month resisting on not rooting till 3.1

Why would you not root until 3.1? I'm rooted and I'll just root again when it drops...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Have a couple nice sysfs readings on this tablet.. included a script that will change freqs, aka scaling_max_freq (min=1ghz,med=1.4ghz,high=1.504ghz,max=cpuinfo_max_freq) and display all this super duper neato information..

if you don't know how to put it on your phone.. unzip this into your adb directory.. theres a batch file.. clicky.. the batch file says:

adb remount

adb push "chngfrq" /system/xbin/

adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/chngfrq

and then you can use adb or terminal emulator to use it.. so super duper.. my setcpu is only 2.2 kilobytes.

for those that don't care for my awful script.

cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.1/i2c-2/2-000b/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.1/i2c-2/2-000b/power_supply/battery/capacity

cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/ext_temperature

^^^^ The awesome one.... cputemp in degrees celsius accurate to .25 celsius ^^^

cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.3/i2c-4/4-004c/temperature

^^ its less awesome, rounded value.. only really gets rounded down if its XX.25^^

I was able to lockup the asus by repeating test over test.. got the temp to 43 deg C.. Its tough separating oc-related instability from honeycomb bull**** hacky-job-hackerton bugs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
btw.. there is nothing I can do about devices locking up at a given speed/voltage combo when the voltage is already high enough.. If I can confirm the lockups are heat related _AND_ lowering the voltage (and thus heat) for that given speed causes lock ups (insufficient vcore related)... I will stick with the higher vcore and utilize the over-temp 'stuff' in the kernel to clock down the cpu to a lower freq if it starts burning its way to lockup-land..

Lets say 42+C is lockup land.. Then.. if its at 40.25... back it down to 1.4ghz (or whatever tame sissy freq u all desire) et voila.. a little power boost when you need it.. and when you're in danger of having a little lockup-whoopsiedaisy..

this is tiring. I'm going to tar.bz2.7z.rar.gz the source so its equally tiring (but fun) for you..

oh and. Hey clemsyn.. this is no gtab.. Its like asus put plastic heatsinks on it..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Still testing this daily release. What a pain in the ass. This will use less power by reducing voltage in the right spots. Of course, that means testing every freq... One thing that worries me a bit is the inclusion of a tegra2 chip that has a max clock of 750mhz according to sku. The voltages arent reduced enough for it to be a high heat product... I'm pretty sure Nvidia knows what batch of tegra2s are capable of what.. thats why this device seems to have trouble with T25 specs at t25 voltages. They're saving the good stuff for t25/t2-3d... just something I was thinking of when 1200mhz ended up being problematic at the voltage I was supplying it, which was... 'stock' voltage. Seems like the lower-middle clocks are handling a slight undervolt just fine too.

Oh and when I post the kernel today, I'll post source. I wont have time for putting it on github for the next week. In fact, I really don't feel like putting it on github at all, or going the 'extra step' since most people were threatening me with 'banhammer' like I came out and said it was closed source or some bull****. Busting out your internet switchblades you crazy little lynch mob.. Its funny, i didnt get one pm about source..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dbiggss:
This kernel is amazing!!!

My TF is completely smooth, fast as a mofo, and I havent had any issues/lockups with the 1.6ghz version whatsoever -- battery life has been phenomenal as well - thats with leaving it at 1.6 interactive (with a SetCPU profile to reduce clock speed for screen off.)

Great work Blades! Thanks for the frequent updates also!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] H3llb0und:

New Transformer (and Android) user here :o

Would it be possible for someone to post a tutorial (from start to finish) on how to apply these kernel mods?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] scott9824:
Welcome :cool:

Start from here http://android.modaco.com/content/a...od-recovery-for-the-asus-eee-pad-transformer/

and then you can flash a custom ROM and/or kernel using clockwordmod

Modaco custom rom: http://android.modaco.com/content/a...asus-eee-pad-transformer-with-online-kitchen/

or you can choose another one from within this forum

Depending on what update your Transformer is running then you might have to root using this guide http://androidroot.mobi/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Guitarfreak26:
I cant get any of the kernels to work past 1.4 but then again that is with cputuner
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dcmtnbkr:
start here: http://androidroot.mobi/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/

follow the directions step by step to gain root and customer recovery, then download this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052380

and follow the flashing instructions.

Then download the kernal, put it on the root of your sd card (aka, not in a folder, just on the card itself) and flash it the same way you flashed the rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kingrat:
running on mine and rock steady for 2 hrs now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Was at hospital for like.. ~6-7 hours. I'm exhausted. Using new voltage setup and it seems to be stable. But stable for me seems to be nuclear explosions and a couple cases of biting/****-talking necronomicon tablets ala evil dead/AoD. Plus I'm ultra tired, so I'm probably missing something important*.. oh i almost forgot ... interactive gov seems to only hit all freqs when go_maxspeed_load is set higher than 90

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_maxspeed_load

*like the fact I said I was tired.. twice.. beating a dead horse to death.

Another btw. I'm totally game for taking this apart. Unless it requires prying and a heat gun. It can't be as simple as those two t-5s at the bottom... can it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] iivanovic:
Hello guys!

This Kernel can be used on Dell Streak? If so, how?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] The-Nazgul:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nascar Dog:
I too would like to know the trick to getting the back off this thing without damaging it.

I would like to figure out how to fix the creaking on one side.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
So I really think the problem is obviously going to be heat related instability. Right now, there are people who can get to 1.504 and 1.6 and have it crash under repeated tests. If you run that script I posted it will tell you the cpu temp. If you're brave, clock it to the highest you can and try to make it very toasty via linpack.. once you feel it gettng warm, report the cputemp.(anything below 40c and ur doing it wrong). We gotta find the heat tolerance. I have mine setup to clock down once it gets to that tolerance, and then clock back up once it gets back to safety. Its pretty awesome. So we have the responsiveness of 1.6 (and possibly higher) with the stability of 1.0-1.2. Sound good?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] H3llb0und:
SWEEEET!!! Can't wait to try this when I get mine 3 days from now! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Yea, I'm a bit surprised nobody has taken theirs apart yet... I'd like a good idea of what to expect. I was thinking about trying to put in a Micro USB port on one of the sides if there's room (but my lack of Dremel tool is a bigger issue... ) Where you thinking it'd be possible to potentially add an improved heat sinck?

Also, sorry to hear you had to be at the hospital. I know that's never a good time. I hope things are ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kenblat:
Dear Blades,

Can we apply your kernel to the 3.1 rom? such as PRIMORDIAL_v3.1

TIA.

Well I'm not blades but I do know the answer. Yes you can!!!!! Unfortunately it wont work though, haha so don't do it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] funnycreature:
I PM'ed him today about a 3.1 kernel but he still has to get back to me. I'm sure he'll get a lot of these PMs so I don't expect a personal reply; more like an update in this or another thread
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] The-Nazgul:
I guess, Asus has to release the new kernel sources first before Blades can do anything regarding a 3.1 overclocked kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] funnycreature:
Yeah, playing the good old 'open source' waiting game...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bergfex:
Hi

I want to compile this kernel on my own. I have done some kernel development for the Desire HD already, but I don't have luck with this one.

I have downloaded the 05-29-2011.tar.bz2.rar.7z.

Is he using arm-linux-gcc?

I have changed the general setup->precompiler prefix to "arm-eabi-" to use the arm-eabi-4.4.0. I also have exported the path to arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin.

I have tried "make", "make ARCH=arm" and "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`

Thank you'al and help needed to flash a Kernel...

Hi Blade et al.

Blade, you are a very hilarious person and I salute you to that...and one heck of a developer...

I have read the entire thread..and hate the people who just did not have the courtesy to ask for the source code in a polite manner...Get back to them...will yaa...JK...But they deserve a kick-in-butt!

I want to CONGRATULATE you on doing such an amazing job with the kernel..

I have my Transformer for less than 48 hours and I am already trying to get a kernel on it...talk about desperation...lol..or just curiosity and passion...lol..

I want to flash the kernel...Well...only if I knew "How to"...

I have been researching but no luck so far....

So..if some one out there..can point the newbie in that direction..I will appreciate that....

What I have done so far..is...I have ROOT my TM...and flashed it with PRIMORDIAL! v3.1....Now I want to flash it with a Kernel 1.6gh....

Any help...please?

Thanks

Regards,

Misfitz
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MISFITZ:
Beware!

Well...Well...Guess what..I just did that even before reading this...and my TM was almost a BRICK...touchwood...I was able to bring it back to life...and had it restored...so...please be BEWARE!....DO NOT use the KERNEL 1.6gh if you are on PRIMORDIAL! v3.1.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Yea, this is a 3.0 kernel and is not updated to 3.1 (Asus has not released source yet).

It won't be a brick because the kernel isn't going to overwrite CWM. You can always go to CWM and reflash your original rom (restoring the kernel) or restore a nandroid.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
I wonder if anyone has just tried using the ramdisk from 3.1.. I seriously thought I posted last night.. but I guess it didn't take (thanks tapatalk). To the person asking about compiling.. 4.5.2 gcc is what you need.. I also posted a fresh cwm zip..ugh. I don't want to have to re-type stuff. :(..

I'll try to have something using the latest ramdisk from 3.1..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
http://home.comcast.net/~ibladesi/3p1rdisk1p2boot.zip

ok.. this is the latest build of the kernel (temp based clock reduction to prevent any heat related lock ups, reduced voltage in lower clocks, etc). with a 3.1 ramdisk (all the necessary drm garbage)... and its set to 1.2 ghz at boot.. I think the carveout ram size is 256 on this one.. but no worries. I'll have both 128 and 256 available.

hmm.. wait on this. ro.secure=1.. can't have that...

and now its ok.. ro.secure=0..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MISFITZ:
Thanks Blade...

So..correct me if I am wrong..

I can Flash this to my TM...which is on PRIMORDIAL! v3.1...and it will work?

or I have to use some other ROM?

Please advise...I am willing to TEST...

Regards,

Misfitz
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MISFITZ:
Thanks Vivi...I was seriously afraid (and my heart skipped a beat) when I flashed the kernel 1.6gh over PRIMORDIAL! v3.1...and TM did not boot!..just kept ..click..click...click..for the longest time....

Then I went into recovery..and tried my back up...and restored the device and flashed it with PRIMORDIAL! v3.1..and Boy..I could breath now...lol...Yep...and then downloaded all my apps back from the market....

Thanks for your reply...

Regards,

Misfitz
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] netarchy:
Yes, I tried pairing with the 3.1 ramdisk. It will let the kernel boot, but sound is all kinds of jacked, which is why I'm waiting for the updated kernel sources from asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MISFITZ:
Questions?

Hi netarchy...

Thanks for the update on it...appreciate it...

Now...I have 2 questions for you..if you have time...or for any one out here...

a) What is the best kernel I can use to get the max speed out of my CPU?

I am using PRINORMAL!v3.1

b) is there a guide on HOW TO FLASH a kernel to a Transformer?...is it same as download zip file...take it to SD...Boot in rocovery and Upload from zip?...

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Misfitz
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
Yep.. new sound cfg. Perhaps the old cfg would fix things. From everything I've heard about 3.1, I'm in no rush to try it.

Cfg file can be found in /system/data ... asound.cfg (if different) would also need to be replaced.

Btw...

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq # cat stats/time_in_state

216000 50291

312000 3737

456000 3630

608000 1641

760000 716

816000 1976

912000 787

1000000 1404

1200000 534

1400000 7211

1504000 0

1600000 0

1706000 20

Just beginning to test. 1706mhz.. very spicy. We'll need the temp based clock reduction.. and as of yet.. 1706 is obviously unstable.
