it doesn't matter. script overrides asus quick settings. I always keep it in balanced. with script and overclock it still confirms to run at 1.6 most of the time. I use system tuner or another app to confirm. Even viper said a few posts back that once over clock is applied, it overrides the quick settings. plus I have a widget to constantly show me cpu speed. its always at 1.6ghz most of the time.

Win and win. I just got the new high record in Antutu, just as i saw my Patriots luck out and win another trip to the Superbowl.

Awesome! But F the Patriots... I'm a Raven's fan. -__-
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Unfortunately, your team handed the game away. Brady even admitted to sucking when he accepted the trophy.

Regardless, thanks for the script. Really appreciate your helping to enable us to have devices the way we want them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Lol yeah I know. Its whatever though. I loved the replays of the Ravens barely making the touchdown cause they were almost out of bounds and you can see that he has the Patriots guy by the mask, dragging him along in the air lol

No problem about the script :)

I'm mad about that pathetic final field goal attempt...I almost cried :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Has anyone experimented with the other modes in vipercontrol mod yet? Like the enable/disable 3D Scaling. I wonder if Prime comes with that enabled or disabled.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
How much battery do i lose with the 1.6 GHz mode?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Like other modes very dependent on what you do exactly and screen brightness. It drains around the same as performance mode or a lil faster. Still good considering its overclocked speed. Works great. After ICS update I noticed CPU speeds like to stay maxed out more whatever mode its in. So once you apply 1.6ghz overclock, it will stay around that speed most of the time unless in deep sleep. I have a widget to show me CPU speed in real time so that's how I can tell. Elixir widget n Elixir2 app. Both free. System tuner another app to let you see your speeds fluctuating in real time for each core.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:
Seems like most are oc'ing to 1.6Ghz, for those that are, how are you finding the performance overall ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Performance is great actually. BUT ONE THING TO ALSO NOTE. I've since went back to stock speeds in balanced mode. Since ICS and latest update everything moves so fast n fluid anyways. I can even put it in powersavings mode m everything is still fast n fluid. OVERCLOCK is great but the better battery life in stock modes drew me back in. Plus there is no apps or any games out that the prime can't handle with ease on stock speeds. Now if your personal tablet is experiencing lag n such, then overclock will help. That's if its not an app or widget you installed n secretly causing the lag. OTHER than obvious benchmark scores, its really hard to see a huge difference. Not because the overclock isnt good. Its because the prime performs so well already. Plus the overclock drains at about same rate or lil more as Performance mode in stock. PRIME will like to stay around 1.6ghz the whole time using it. Which will cause battery to drain at faster rate. I've found myself switching back n forth from overclock to stock to compare. With overclock things are much snappier but comes at a price. Of lower battery life. I'd say iif you in the house or will be near a charger, go ahead n overclock.

ALWAYS when I see a question or comment about overclock it makes me want to cut mines back on. Actually I probably will right after this post. I've added adaway n websites, even on stock browser n speeds, loading super fast. Gonna see how much faster with overclock.

I'd say try it out. I'm about to cut mines back on now..lmao. plus once later versions of this mod comes out, we will have undervolting n all that. So the battery life with overclock will get better. This is one of the best mods out there next to root, which you need in order to apply overclock. Have fun!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] susko:
Has anyone had any issues with this? Whenever I try it I will get crazy amounts of power for about five minutes. After that everything starts to freeze up and I must reboot. I mostly just run the scripts now. I get some lagging and freezing every once and a while regardless but not nearly as bad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've ran that method for a while. I had no issues with it other than it drains the battery very fast..lmao. I saw someone say tegra3 has some kind of thermal protection where if it gets to hot, it'll automatically throttle speeds down to cool off. That may be what you experienced as far as the lag you talking about. I stopped running it because although very fast, no real benefit from it yet considering how much faster it drains the battery. NO apps or games out that make the prime lag or anything on stock. So ATM the extra power really not needed until we can make the battery last longer with it applied. I'd only run it if I'm near a power source or something. TESTS still need to be done to see long term effects of maxing out all 4 cores like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:
Thanks for the info guys ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] susko:
I wonder if my prime might have more issues? When running an app it will randomly freeze and I will be promoted to either wait or kill the app. If I choose wait the app will usually resume. This has been occurring since I first got the prime. It got better after ics but still happens. It doesn't happen that often but when all 4 cores are at 1.6GHz it seems to cause the problem to increase drastically. I don't think the cpu is shutting itself down because systemtunner pro, system panel, and cpuspy say it is still running at 1.6GHz. Also I really don't think it is getting that hot. It gets warm to the touch but not even as hot as when I charge the battery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cothek:
I am having a chmod error when I try to run any of the quick setting mode choices saying that the file or directory can't be found. I looked at the script and it seems to be failing the chmod 755 /system/etc/cpu# command. I noticed that the script is calling cpu# without the .sh but I didn't think that mattered. Anyone got any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'd say hook prime up to PC. Then run vipercontrol control mod. Uninstall it off the prime then reinstall it again. The only quick setting I ever use is 5, the 1.6ghz option. Make sure to install busybox off the market also. Mine behaved similarly at first. Then I installed busybody off marketplace n everything worked fine.

If vipercontrol still not working then you have two other routes you can use to overclock instead. One is to use root explorer then go into /system/etc , then find the cpu5.sh file and just click on it and execute. There will be 2 files of that that will look similar so make sure to execute the right one like shown in OP. Then you can CPU spy to confirm the 1.6ghz mode has been enabled.

The other way, I think. Is using system tuner. Raise the Max CPU speed to 1.6ghz and you can confirm right there on same screen where it shows processors speed. Not exactly sure with this method. Can't hurt thinkn try though. If you don't see the spike to 1.6ghz then you have to use the manual method like I described above. I think you may just need to install busy box from marketplace though for vipercontrol mod to work right. Let us know how it goes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] se1000:
are you sure you are rooted?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cothek:
Yes definitely.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Try installing viperControl again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
Thank you so much! the first thing i did was to update to 4.0.3 then rooted with your auto root then used your viperControl and klocked to 1.6 ghz! :D

Sick took like 30 seconds! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BoostedSR20:
lol... this is silly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sontin:
/edit: Damn, this stupid busybox ding. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
is there any way that it downclocks itself down when not in heavy use?

atm i se that it is 1.6 GHz all the time :S
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
I could look into it, but that's just how the 1.5 and 1.6 mods are set.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
It does it eventually by itself but tends to stay on the higher side though. Your best bet might be to have it in balanced mode when applying overclock. For some reason it seems to stay lower than on performance mode with overclock. Regardless though, no matter what you do, overclock will drain battery just as fast as Performance mode or a lil faster. Still decent battery life for overclock. Its not like you applying the extra method to enable all 4 cores to Max 1.6mhz full-time and battery draining really fast Viper mod only enables 1 or 2 cores at those speeds

It'll get alot better once bootloader unlocked n he can play around with the files more. Probably implement undervolting also. That way get good battery life and more power.

need help

I tried to install the vipercontrolmod with no luck at all. I need to know how to run the install.exe manually since terminal emulator keeps saying not found. I triedto execute it through root explorer but rootexplorer stops unexpectedly. So can anyonehelp me figure out what I am doing wrong. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
you are doing this step on a windows computer correct?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
As said, you have to install from a windows computer. You can't run an .exe from the Prime...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bjones.2385:
No, I did not know that. If you all could help me I would much appreciate it. I am new to adb but, I am pretty familiar with it having had a rooted Evo for over a year. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Just plug in tablet then run the. Exe file and you are good to go no adb needed
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
All it takes is you downloading the zip n installing it to your computer. Assuming you already have adb drivers for prime/android installed already. Then follow the instructions in OG post. It really is simple.

If seeming like to much or still unsure of yourself then if you rooted already, try the ATP tweaks. Its here in developement section with that title. Its a simple apk/app you download right from the prime into itself from any browser your prime has. Then install it. Press the tab to allow super user permission. Then just press Turbo 2 tab and now you overclocked to 1.6Ghz.

Both methods are great n easy to do. VIPERCONTROL has more options to mess with and is easy to do. ATP tweaks is an even more simple install being thst its just an apk you install. Plus it allows you to enable extra drivers/modules/and I/o schedulers. For either method your prime needs to be rooted.

Thanks again to ViperBoy n SaturnDe for making overclocking the Prime so easy n simple. Appreciate it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bjones.2385:
Yeah I hear you Mine is rooted since out out of the box. My question is for those of us who have never heard of install a program on the prime while using a windows computer to do it. I need to know what steps you are taking on the computer.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] globed:
Ive done some tweaking to the files and 1.6 and up is unstable. but 1.6 is sticking after reboot. u install and run it as a script. But so i got to thinking and i made back ups of the cpu 1 cpu 2 cpu 3 cpu 4 and cpu 5 using the following format cpux.sh.BACKUP Which my cpu Governer shows it running at 1600 max so i rebooted and on boot is runns at 1600 so ive been tinkering around with it and ive got it as high as 1.8 1.9 it seems to force close then shut down.

I had to do some tweaking to both the system files and cpu files . 1.6 and up is unstable and does not stick through booting process.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
You can possibly be going over 1.6ghz so I don't know what you're doing. The kernel won't click above 1.6ghz. I promise you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] globed:
No i know the governing app im using is reading it at 1.8 but i ran it through a bench n its peaking at 1.6... srry forgot to post that later. But 1.6 sticks on and after boot. Setcpu reads it correctly plus system tools app reads it right.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Not sure what is happening with yours, but mine is fine running 1.6, and I'm still #1 recorded Antutu benchmark recorded. I am underclocking for most things to save battery life though. Reboots at 1.6 are no problemo. Not all CPUs are created equally though. Lots of folks can overclock their NookColors to 1.3, and I cannot go above 1.2 without major instability issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] globed:
haha i know what the problem was. 1.6 was running fine someone mentioned in not sticking on boot. and mine does stick on every boot. the reason i was getting the force closing files was because i had modifyed some of the tegra cpu files it forced closed my system and shut down. i rebooted and restored the files( i make backups of all my files) i havent used atutu yes im using quatrant standard. all is good:) i was just trying to push it see how far i could go with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KingDavid63:
I don't understand.. I'm rooted stock and running at 1.6ghz.... I did use your tool to unlock and root is that why I'm running at 1.6? What is stock frequency?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
If you didn't use vipercontrol or ATP tweaks or virtuous rom to enable "real" overclock to 1.6Ghz, then you not really achieving those speeds. Update to ICS made every prime report top speed of 1.6Ghz but if you use CPU spy, you would see that its really deactivated and not hitting those speeds. Only way to activate 1.6ghz is through ATP tweaks pressing turbo2, or vipercontrol by enabling 1.6Ghz, virtuous rom by performance mode, or manually going into /system/etc and executing the cpu5.sh.

Stock top speed is 1.4Ghz on a single core or 1.3Ghz on multiple cores on performance mode, 1.2Ghz on multiple cores in balanced mode, or 1Ghz in power savings mode.

Get CPU spy and you will see that 1.5Ghz and 1.6Ghz speeds are disabled on stock setup. Now if you use one of the methods I listed, you will see those speeds activate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KingDavid63:

This doesn't install clockwork. This is an overclock script.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThunderRootedDragon:
Tried installing per OP instructions and running script via terminal...no dice...The viper script heading comes up, but it says unsupported device.

Running a test build aokp rom w/kernel that is stock to the build.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Likely they changed the info in build.prop where it says ro.product.device. can you post your build.prop for me or give me that line?

Edit: you can get it from terminal by typing:

getprop ro.product.device

The script is looking for "TF201", so maybe on AOKP it says like "eeepad" or something? TF201 was there stock from Asus so it is definitely something that AOKP changed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Thanks for the info. The lowercase tf201 was messing things up. Download this, unzip, and replace the vc in /system/bin with the vc in the zip file...

http://db.tt/dcej4Gq8

Don't forget to change perms on the file. Use root explorer to select all perms or just use adb or terminal and do:

chmod 777 /system/bin

Lemme know if this works, it should :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThunderRootedDragon:
Hey man I really appreciate the support. Unfortunately, it didn't work...downloaded, unzipped, moved vc to /system/bin...delete old vc paste, select all permissions (including special ones), reboot and still get the same output in terminal....typing "su" enter "vc"...

Might be the ROM build. Would this work on any kernel...I have the same ROM with motley kernel -- would this correctly clock motley, which is stuck at 1.8

*should I change my device name in my build prop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
You get the same error? Please do me a favor and post your build.prop this time, not all the props on your device lol just grab it from /system and post it or put it into pastebin :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThunderRootedDragon:
I know I sent you a PM, but even after the wipe and installing the moded zip that you so kindly provided I still get the same error...same exact one...Should I also check of special permissions? I checked off all the usual, which is the same as the original vc script...rebooted etc...it would be really cool to get this up and running...Thanks for the kick ass support.

No problem man, happy to help. That should have worked, not sure why it didn't. But here is what I did, I made another one that will work regardless of device but just give an error that the device is potentially unsupported. Let me know if you see that error. I also manually added another few lines in the code to better check for the lowercase device info.

http://db.tt/TD1u8hFw

Do the same thing as before but don't check the special perms, check all the others. Let me know if it identifies your device properly or if you get the error message. Thanks.
