Thanks Swiftks, I've verified that it works with Script manager.

I had an initial problem opening Script Manager, when I set the browse as root when I first opened the app, just opened to black screen. Had to clear data, reopen, and it then worked, and I set browse as root as you suggested in the options. No sure if it was a fluke or a bug w/ script manager.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Yeah... it takes a few secs after you exit out, after setting to browse as root, to ask for super user permission... if you start pressing buttons, you might get a FC, just wait a few secs, and the super user permission will usually pop up.

Glad it worked out though.... wish I had mine to try too. :rolleyes:

DOnt no what im doing wrong ran from Terminal Emulator using viper control bu it want stick.Its not showing in CPU Spy that im overclocked to 1.6GHz.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
make sure you type su first and then vc or it won't work!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
When I use setcpu without doing this, I can set it to 1.6 no problem but I am not sure if its single or multicore

Nvidia always!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dsmitty166:
Yes you can set it there. But look at cpuspy. Its only hung up to 1400. The top two are unused.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I can't seem to be able to install the .exe file in this zip. I downloaded it on the prime and have used root explorer and the default file explorer and still doesn't work. What am I missing?

Edit: I found out that I needed to run the app .exe file on my pc while the tablet was connected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeroburn:
This is going to sound a little daft but I guess this makes the upper 2 speeds available if needed? Does this impact much on battery performance while in normal use? I like the thought of having the OC speeds available but do I need to be aware that my unit will go flat quicker?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
just like stock prime. having it in normal will drain battery faster than other 2 modes. So only naturally, at the moment, an overclocked will drain a lil faster than normal. its a good tradeoff till things get optimized more or undervolting allowed with overclock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeroburn:
OK I am just unclear as to the status of my Prime having set it to the highest mode via vc and then seen it's still in powersave via the homesreen selector.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
That wont change. It seems that when selecting a power option in the settings menu it just runs on of those scripts. Since there is no 1.5 or 1.6ghz mode in settings, that's probably why. However, if you apply power saving mode from vC, I would bet it won't show that as selected in settings. They're independent of each other, so don't worry about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cadillac Johnson:
Not sure if anyone caught this, but the Lenovo tablet using Tegra 3 that was shown at CES, is being advertised as running at 1.6ghz.

So if anyone is worried about potential premature damage to the CPU while running at a higher frequency, it seems the Tegra 3 processor can more than handle it.

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if 2.0ghz was within its range for daily use. Whether or not there would be any noticeable benefit is another question of course..

Can't thank you enough. I took the plunge. Now check out my ChainFire and Antutu scores. I'm 4th globally now on Antutu out of the Primes. my ChainFire skyhigh also.

Both scores jumped over 3000 on 1.6Ghz vs. stock prime Performance mode. Yeahhhh boyyy! lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bdneuman:
Loving this!!!

love the speed at which this stuff is coming out and is a testament to your dev's hard work and willingness to share it. thanks!

2nd place on Antutu this morning.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pizza4Breakfast:
I'm kind of a noob to this stuff so, by the settings are lost every time I reboot, does that mean I have to repeat all the steps every time I reboot to keep the over clock? Sorry for the dumb question. :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
From the OP:

Yes, you have to reapply every time. What I will do is update the script to save your current configuration (if you have custom settings or whatever) and you can just go in quick and activate it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
For anyone worried about overclocking in general it doesn't hurt your processor. Voltage is the ONLY thing that can hurt it and I mean only. I'm not 100% sure with the tegra chipset but almost every other chip they make has sensors to lower the clock speed if it gets too hot or even turn the chip off. I wonder if Asus was smart enough to tie the cpu cooling into the aluminum.back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] witke:
You can rename cpu3.sh to (for example) cpu31.sh and cpu5.sh to cpu3.sh. Then you can overclock to 1.6 directly from menu, as a normal mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
after applying the 1.6ghz overclock, how does the different modes affect it? will it being in balanced mode when overclock applied still actually hit 1.6? or is it something like no matter what mode its in after overclocked applied, it will hit that speed if needed? the different modes I mean are the one from quick settings.

just looking for more clarification as to when or how long the overclock spikes that high. Also so unless Prime is rebooted or shutdown the overclock stays applied the whole time? so if I apply it and never shut it down or reboot, it stays applied?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mkjellgren:
As I understand it the 1.5 and 1.6 modes are performance modes, meaning they stay at that clock speed the entire time and never throttle up or down. At least that's what cpuspy seems to indicate on my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I don't know. CPU spy shows you what speeds are used in general but its not a real time fluctuating reading. If you get System Panel light or System tuner pro, it shows the CPU processor speeds fluctuating in real time. I've seen it spike to 1.5 or 1.6 but never just constantly stay at that speed. now if I use system tuner or maybe set CPU, you can set the lowest speed to be maximum. now when I tried that I saw speeds stay the same. I think it only hits 1.5 or 1.6ghz if and when you need it. That's why I'm trying to get more clarification on it. plus I have a widget that shows processor speeds and it fluctuates. plus I think its only if you put Prime in performance mode with overclock it'll hit those speeds more often. in balance mode I only see it hit a Max of 1.2ghz. I be keeping a close eye on the processor speed just to see how often it hits the overclocked speeds.

Everything still is lag free n super fast. just trying to find out more details on how it works n when Prime actually uses/needs those speeds.

Also has anyone confirmed if this overclock applies the highest speed across all 4 cores at once or only on a single core? like stock prime, the highest speed possible is reached on a single core. I think it may be the same deal with this overclock. Is it possible to have all 4 cores running at 1.6Ghz at once?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Personally I find this method 10x easier.. just download the zip to your tablet, extract, move 6 files, set their permissions (xxx xx xxx), enter terminal emulator, su, vc , #1. #13 and #5 all done from tablet no cables no peecee

Thanks! For now I actually like that the settings are not held thru a restart as it gives a quick bail out roll back method.

Now can you fix the wpa_supplicant file in ICS to get us back to being able to connect to ad hoc networks.. please pretty please :D ill send you money :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think I might have confirmed that when the overclock of 1.5 or 1.6ghz is applied, Prime needs to be in Performance mode(Asus quick settings) in order to hit that speed if needed. when you first apply overclock, no matter what mode you in, CPU spy will show the initial spike tl that speed. But lets say you leave it in balanced mode. Then use an app like system panel light or system tuner. you will see the prime never reaches that high of a speed. Elixir widget works great also if you pick one to show real tome CPU spores. I think the Max might be 1.2Ghz or something. Now if you put Prime in Performance mode with overclock already applied, you will see it hit 1.6Ghz alot. Like the elixir widget on my homescreen shows it when it spikes up to the Max speed. So i would think you would only see those overclock speeds or benefit of it if your in Performance mode. Don't get me wrong, balanced mode or performance shows no lag at all with overclock. But those high speeds can only be confirmed while running in Performance mode. Never seen it spike that high in balanced. And CPU spy doesn't really show real time specs of speeds. only shows you over a time period what speeds was achieved. The other two apps I said will show you, in real time, the constant changing of processor speeds.

Now my new question is does this overclock only apply to one core, like stock when Max speed reached? Or is there a way to have all 4 cores running St 1.6Ghz at once? from what I've seen thru apps I use, not all 4 cores are used at once or all clocked that high St once. I know apps like set CPU or system tuner can allow you to raise the lowest speed to the Max and it will constantly stay High. Maybe ill try that n look at each processor speed to see if raising the minimum will keep more than one core maxed out at once. The system panel app shows a pie graph reading for each core. so i can look at the 4 cores individually at once.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
Thank you so much for this! I set up the script in Gscript and put it on my desktop as a shortcut. This is awesome!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
For anyone wondering about 1.6GHz mode, I set the governor to performance and used System Tuner Pro to look at the processor...

So we are hitting 1.6GHz on all cores :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yep, I used my system tuner pro n set governor to performance and confirm this also. Great tip on setting the system tuner governor tl performance. Seems like doing this thru system tuner is the only way ALL 4 cores will Max out at 1.6Ghz. I noticed also that 1-2 cores constantly stay at 1.6Ghz other 2 are off. But when needed or something makes it spike, All 4 cores will go off with 1.6Ghz. Now this sick! lol

Check out my new scores as soon as i set system tuner governor to performance. This wasn't even after a fresh reboot so im sure I can get higher than this after a fresh reboot. Antutu wouldn't let me submit score at the moment but pretty sure it puts me in the top 3 globally out of all Primes.

I wonder how much faster this would drain the battery. Plus what another member said, Does Tegra3 have a failsafe mechanism or something to throttle speed down or shut down chip if things get to hot?

Browser speed on opera mobile now is stupid fast. Almost loads everything up instantly. Probably same would go for stock browser also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chewybang:
What's the battery drain when running performance mode 1.6ghz on all 4 cores? I bet it hasn't been long enough to test but would LOVE to find out. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
NOT SURE yet. As system tuner is needed to do it across all 4 cores. Set CPU tweak governor to performance. This is of course after you've already applied vipercontrol mod. VIPERCONTROL mod by itself won't overclock across ALL 4 cores. SYSTEM tuner app, free or pro version, makes it possible. PLUS YOU CAN SET THE minimum speed to Max 1.6ghz also like in pics viperboy showed. WITH that you have True Maximum performance. I have yet to let battery charge up fully in test. I will though n post results of battery drain.

I would think with minimum and maximum speed maxed out it'll drain a lil faster. But you could also leave the minimum all the down and get better battery life. THIS is all still new so alot of testing n stuff needs to be done n reported.

ALSO, have Asus quick settings set to Performance & System tuner governor set to Performance for the overclock to apply across All 4 cores.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
I didn't create vC for benchmarks, I actually hate them since people think its the be all end all of device performance.

But yes, I was looking through some kernel stuff yesterday and there is a point where it will turn down the clock speed before shutting off if it gets too hot.

It would be a waste to keep it in performance all the time because even with the screen off, it would be running at full speed. Battery life would probably be a few hours, if that. Even with the hidden 5th core that is supposed to run when screen off, it won't when the governor is set to performance.

You don't quite understand how governors work. Lets talk about the performance governor... it will always clock the processor to the max freq. Setting the min doesn't do anything on performance, I just did that because I was playing with some things before the screenshot.

You don't need to set performance mode in the Settings if you apply 1.6GHz mode in vC. vC will override those settings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
OK, thanks for the clarification. ill leave system tuner on default interactive mode n minimum all the way down. Battery does drain alot faster. Benchmarks aren't my thing also but since I see them always thrown around, I thought I'd see where I measure up. Real world performance is more of a factor to me. and this overclock definitely speeds things up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I had my first ever, ever random reboot last night about 1 hour after applying this mod... related?

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

Care to elaborate how you did this please?

That setting is done IN System Tuner Pro, correct? Not something in VC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Probably unrelated. People have been complaining about reboots on ICS.

I will add the ability to set governors in the next update, I will try to get to that tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Don't know about Gscript, but I gave steps to auto run with Script Manager a page or two back... Post #44.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Thanks... I will try this and see how it works..

1)Download Script Manager from Market.

2) Open Script Manager, then go to -> Menue -> More -> Advanced Options -> Config -> Select Browse As Root. Then allow super user permission when you exit out (give it a few secs to ask for permission).

3) Navigate to /system/etc (in Script Manager)

4) Select "cpu5.sh" and choose Run as Root (droid cross bones icon) & Run at Boot (gear icon). Save. Then Exit. Then Reboot.

5) After reboot and launcher loads, you should see a message "Script Manager has been granted super user permission" pop up to let you know the script loaded.

6) Test to check if 1.6 GHz is enabled.

I do like the Gscript idea a tad bit better in a way as that way, I can opt to run this mod if I want and do so with 1 click.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
You need Gscript Lite from the market. I used Tapatalk to go into the OP and then copied the text for the 1.6 script. Then you go into Gscript, go to the menu and add script, give the script a name and paste the script text into the box for the script. Make sure you save.

Once that's done, you can add the shortcut to the desktop in the usual fashion.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

I actually did this first, before I went the Gscript route and, in testing, it never seemed to turn on the 1600mhz option. After running the script in Gscript, however, 1600 was definitely on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
G Script hasn't been updated since 2009. its abandonware now. probably still works but no support.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
I bought System Tuner Pro this morning after seeing some of the posts in this thread and wow, what a great app! I went into Boot settings under CPU and set it to force all CPUs online and set that on boot (before that, only 2 of my CPUs were online), and also then selected Re-apply memory limits on boot. Now all 4 CPUs are set at 1.6 at boot.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

I works great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
With all 4 cores forced, be prepared for the battery to drain realllllly fast. I think its really cool also to force all cores to the Max. I'd only use it if i plan to be near a charger or something. If you use this when Prime fully charged, let us know how long the battery lasts with all 4 cores forced full time.

you make me wanna go back n cut all them on again..lol. Its unreal how fast everything is with all 4 cores forced.

System Tuner Pro is a really great app though. I noticed it also shows you all apps, user or system, that start up on boot/startup. Then it lets you uncheck it if you don't want it to be included in startup. I would think it would speed up boot times even more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
Has anyone tried to lower the voltage on the CPUs with System Tuner to save some battery life?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
So can System Tuner Pro do all things - and more it seems - than Set CPU does? I use Set CPU on my phone but I kind of like just having 1 app to do it all where possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Cant, there is no vdd sysfs interface in a stock kernel so voltage is out of the question until a custom kernel.

It does far more than SetCPU and is much better. The developer is very responsive!

One warning though, as said, battery life will be horrible with all cores forced on. There really is no need for that. I could make a script that would turn them all on with screen on and let the 5th core come online when screen off :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I was looking around in System Tuner and if you go into settings you will see a section called "Active tweaks". In there I just saw that it has an option to let you set a separate governor once screen is turned off. it has all governor options to choose. So wouldn't it be possible to set that active tweak screen off governor to the default interactive one? so that way you could run full performance n when the screen turns off. system tuner automatically puts it to default interactive governor. Then when you cut screen back, it goes into performance. I would think that'll be a way to save battery in that mode. Haven't tested so i can't confirm. but the option is there though. Because the way you made it sound is that it wouldn't go into sleep mode with screen turned off with Performance in System tuner. But maybe with this option I just described, it'll let the Prime deep sleep because it switches to default interactive mode when screen turned off. Maybe ill try it out soon to see if it works.

Nope, as i don't know too much about that. I do wanna know more about it though. I heard someone say the great thing to overclocking is that you can undervolt also. So you get maximum battery and power with overclock. Not sure how true that is but would like to know more about it.

System Tuner does do alot. lets you monitor stats, logcat, set CPU parameters, terminal, lets you cut off apps that run on boot, app back up n restore, Analyze mode, in a whole lot more. Its worth getting. so i would think it does alot more than set CPU. you can so stuff from set CPU n more. I usually keep an arsenal of those type of apps in a folder I made called system tools on homescreen. try out the free version to see how you like it. if you want to see instructions, the link to them is in the settings.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I just posted a possible option that would lengthen battery life. in the meantime until you make a new script or whatever. but this option I described would do same thing, it seems. let me know what you think of you test it out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Jeez... that System Tuner almost does TOO much stuff

You need to be careful about messing with lowering voltage as going to low will surely make your tablet unstable and unusable. I did a lot of testing of kernels on my Droid and consistently seen by me, reported by users, and pointed out by devs is that a lower voltage is nice BUT it can come at the price of an unstable device. This is why many devs made normal, low voltage and even ultra low voltage kernels to try as some will take lower voltages and some not. My Droid did not and I had to use normal and now and then a low voltage would work, but always seemed to become unstable in time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
thanks....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Yes, you can make STP save power with screen off by changing to interactive and then with screen on it would run in performance. But I want to add it into the script because some people don't want to buy an app, I can understand that.

About voltage, there is no option to change voltage on this tablet because the kernel doesn't support it. You can undervolt and overclock at the same time but that can cause instability.

Again, no voltage options yet :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I did a mini battery test with overclock and system tuner pro on performance mode. All 4 cores maxed out to 1.6Ghz. I went from Full charge 100% to 50%. Heavy constant use web browsing, non stop basically. brightness on low. Battery stats showed 2 hrs. n 42 mins of use. So i can guess with all of this maxed out, with nonstop use, it drains battery 50% faster than normal. So in all you might get a Max of 5hrs. or a lil more with all cores maxed out.

I about to put it back on normal overclock with system tuner back to default interactive mode. put it back on charger.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jedi5diah:
hi i'm on normal mode, but is it faster/better than the stock performance mode settings?

"sad to say they just simply do a rush job for ICS tablet again like honeycomb was...dissapointing..."
