If u got the best buy warranty, see how high u can go then smash it and go exchange it for a new one. Haha but nobody would do that.....
[Xoom Android Development] Metalkill:
nice update, works great! Thnx
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Last night, solarnz got USB tether up and running. Also, I was able to add 1.5 ghz to the 1.6 kernel. so, if you've been stuck at 1.4 because of reboots, you should be able to run at 1.5 now. Oh, since it seems to be the trend these days, I've almost got 1.7 running :D
[Xoom Android Development] colbyb25:
If I have 1.4.2 running smooth, what steps do I need to take to get 1.4.3 flashed? I know how to flash, just want to make sure my Xoom is prepared right.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
What launcher are you using? also, are you using a live wallpaper?

I had a lot of lag with the standard Xoom launcher and a live wallpaper.

I changed to ADW (I'm using the Baroque theme) and my screens literally fly past.
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
So you've decided to fire up the BBQ after-all. Is there a way to offer some voltage options so we can tune in stability on an individual basis. It appears that you've won the lottery on an overclockable Tegra 2.
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
I have not had any real issues with aany of the kernals until now...

And to be honest I am not sure the issue I have ran into is because of the kernal but Picasa will no longer sync with my gallery.

Is anyone else running into this?

Problem solved: definitely not a kernal issue.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Once we get all the tables worked out, we'll be looking into a whole assortment of userspace controls. Ultimately I would like to build an app that handles that.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Good news about USB tethering. Will you or solarnz be posting instructions? Or is this a mod that will be included in a future kernel?

Thanks for all the hard work.
[Xoom Android Development] Kippui:
:D I can run 1600 stable would love to give 1700 a shot.
[Xoom Android Development] bink1r:
1.6 Running smooth as butter. Great work BRD.
[Xoom Android Development] ericdabbs:
I take it that the 1.4.3 kernel contains the overclock GPU in the baseline?
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
Yes it does ;)
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
I seem to be pretty stable on this latest Kernel when OC to 1.6. I have had two reboots but it only seems to happen when using sites with a lot of flash. Otherwise no problems.
[Xoom Android Development] cboy82:
I`m on the 1.4.3 1.6oc version but I used setcpu to reduce the Max to 1.4 seems to be better for my uk version of the Xoom plus I don't wanna kill it I've only just got it lol. Many thanx to tiamat for this awesome kernal
[Xoom Android Development] phouse1025:
Yea I know I wouldn't wanna fry mine either lol. But I'm very excited to see how much we can squeeze out of this. I believe I've seen several single core phones oc'ed to 1.8. Can't wait for the 1.7
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
Not a simple task. Not only would you have to create a native API for that, you'd have to do some Android JNI calls to it from the JAVA UI. You 'da man.:)
[Xoom Android Development] philly fan:
Now I am not sure if I should grab this one or wait for the new one .... decisons decisions decisions
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
Easy decision, grab this one and THEN wait for the new one :D
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
It takes longer to backup than to flash a new one. This overclock and voltage tweaking will be allot of work for the dog, so I'd get what's there right now and be glad that he's got this much done. He'll have to figure how to prevent us from tweaking the voltage too high and sizzling our chips.
[Xoom Android Development] colbyb25:
If I have 1.4.2 running at 1.4ghz can I just flash this kernel on top of that or do I need to do anything else?
[Xoom Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Just flash it will wipe the old one and load the new one in.

Sent from Motorola Atrix on TELUS.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Ill release this kernel in a couple hours. It would be released as a public test kernel. It is safe because voltage is the same as 1.4.3. I'm more interested in folks testing the tether. So it will not be an official release, but its just as good :-D
[Xoom Android Development] Kippui:
Nice sig making us jealous :)
[Xoom Android Development] drivebynerf:
finally managed to break it (1.4.3) lol, was running it off and on all day, then took it out to deck for some heavy gaming etc (blistering hot day with reall humidity figured would ne a good test not direct sun), started to show warm (not hot like my archos in oc just warm round bottom), then heat crashes and hanging boots, tried to play through but nope, took it back into normal room let it cool off so all is well and stable again. So i think 1.6 is nough for me for oc ill stop there lol. Did see two reboots in pages with flash, im trying nother browser also changing settings in oc
[Xoom Android Development] luis86dr:
For some reason I cannot see my micro SD when opening the external folder. Any ideas guys. I was a ble to before now I can't. But if I boot into recovery it sees the micro SD. Just not on root explorer
[Xoom Android Development] phouse1025:
Did you add the 1.5oc to the 1.4.3 kernel, cause I downloaded and flashed it and still don't have the 1.5 option
[Xoom Android Development] eliteone:
:)

I believe that feature is coming in 1.4.4 shortly
[Xoom Android Development] willverduzco:
And this marks a great point to reiterate the fact that BRD is the man.
[Xoom Android Development] eliteone:
Lols, brd is the reason I returned my ipad2 and kept my xoom:-) long live android:-)
[Xoom Android Development] cboy82:
true that!
[Xoom Android Development] flombs:
It's absolutely beautiful. Thanks BRD!
[Xoom Android Development] bink1r:
Just set the overclock to 1600 and started getting fc's and reboots. Had to go back to 1.4.2 (1.5). I know this doesn't help solve the problem. Can anyone tell me how to provide better feedback (i.e. logs ect.). I don't want to be that guy that says it doesn't work and that's it. Looking for some insight. Any guidance will help. PM me if you can.
[Xoom Android Development] keunhuvac:
You can use 1.4.3 with lower frequency by using setCPU. This new kernel is very stable for me at 1.2 Ghz!
[Xoom Android Development] willverduzco:
Yes, but he probably doesn't want to go down as far as 1.2 or 1.4 GHz. In any case, BRD is going to be releasing a version with a 1.504 GHz speed step merged in very, very soon. I'd just wait before flashing back.
[Xoom Android Development] niematunikogo:
Thqnks for great work again.

Personally i dont think it is now crutial to overclock more.. since there seems to be no apps requireing it?

Exception is chrootet ubuntu (or something) but there are some different issues that seems to be more urgent.

Talking about ubuntu.. if i wanted to install some drivers on chrooted system is there a danger of distroying this kernel? I'm far from being linux-fluent and dont really know what changes can i try to perform...

Anyway thanks again
[Xoom Android Development] MattCB72:
I don't really need a overclocked Xoom. But a undervolting kernel would be nice. Saves battery. :-)
[Xoom Android Development] dean_fx:
The battery on my xoom is amazing. Even if there was an undervplt script for it I probably wouldn't use it.

Swyped from my EVO using XDA Premium App
[Xoom Android Development] saleum:
Great, incredible job!! I'm trying last version at 1600 with no one single reboot.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is this absurd system used for USB. Now and before. I guess, the last improvement are just for Window$, because in Linux it doesn't work. With or without the "special" application (beautiful but useless).

The only way I have found is using MTPFS to mount the Xoom, but it is a real pain in you-know-where. Motorola's imagination...what a pity!

Well I ran 1600 since the release of the new kernel with only one reboot while playing dungeon defenders

I think I can run 1700 lol can't wait for the next release
[Xoom Android Development] Psychokitty:
Pretty cruel, teasing us like that!:p
[Xoom Android Development] cboy82:
@bigrushdog *off topic* what theme are you using to get those icons? they look really nice

damn that 1.7ghz does look juicy
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Using the BigDX XoomZoom Blue theme located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015434

Make sure you read the instructions though! As if you updated to 3.1 using BRD's method you have to flash the 3g theme instead of Wifi only :)
[Xoom Android Development] cboy82:
damn it wish i held out for a reply i flashed the wifi only now i'm stuck on boot loop *powered by android screen*

sorted thanx flashed system update.zip in cwm and flashed the 3g instead of wifi
[Xoom Android Development] lokko21:
Not the battery tho, that circle one looks awesome.

Share please..

Evo Better Than The Best...
[Xoom Android Development] mulletcutter:
Plants vs zombies, when u finish a level and collect ur item, it runs really slow and the loading screen. Rest of the game runs fine.. ive tried 1600 performance and its the same. Anybody else get this?

XOOM
[Xoom Android Development] clamknuckle:
mulletcutter, yeah , I get the same thing.

I was able to run 1600 perfectly fine on 1.4.2 riptide edition.

I flashed 1.4.3 and the highest I can go is 1400. Am I doing something wrong?
[Xoom Android Development] mulletcutter:
It wont go higher or it will freeze? Try and auto detect again, or/and clear cache and dalvik and flash again.

XOOM
[Xoom Android Development] Kippui:
I get it too but at least the game plays
[Xoom Android Development] matguard:
Same on iOS

For what it is worth, this is the same crappy animation that happens at the end of a PvZ level on any iOS device as well. Every iPhone that I have had the same problem as does the iPads. It is the way the game works....
[Xoom Android Development] mulletcutter:
It plays fine on my mytouch4g. Must be tabs
[Xoom Android Development] Vanhoud:
This is obviously some flaw with this game/device in general and nothing to do with CPU speed/power. I too get that very slow laggy animation in plants vs zombies, and when its doing that my CPU usage is less than 5%
[Xoom Android Development] :
I know this sounds strange, but I really want to stay on 3.0.1. I am still on 1.4.0, I am assuming it would not be a good idea to flash 1.4.3 without upgrading to 3.1.

Am I correct or is it possible to run 1.4.3 on 3.0?
[Xoom Android Development] leandroqm:
I just flashed 1.4.3 but my xoom won't move forward from the motorola logo.

will flash old kernel to see if I can bring it back...

EDIT:

yeah now seems its booting...

sad I cant use 1.4.3... stuck on 1.4.2 for now.
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
No, 1.4.3 will not work on 3.0
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
When upgrading from 1.42 do I have to reflash the boot image first?
[Xoom Android Development] jhax01:
W00t!!!!! Flashing now....
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
Well I tried 1.7 Ghz but it wasn't stable for me. I dropped to the new 1.504 Ghz which seems stable so far. Perhaps with some voltage options more of us will be able to reach higher in the future. Looks like BRD has won the Motorola CPU lottery :) but I didn't :D then again a 50% OC is nothing to cry about.
[Xoom Android Development] jhax01:
Rats!! 1.7 reboots for me too..... Oh well, I guess its back to a "paltry" 1.6... :D
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Nope. Only if you wish to change mods that the boot images enable.
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
Awesome. Thanks for confirming.
[Xoom Android Development] anon20:
Thanks BRD. This is great.
[Xoom Android Development] Gimik:
Damn. Stuck at 1.6GHz here too >.<
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
Two reboots in 20 minutes at 1700...so back to 1600 for now...but still nice to know I have the speed should I think I need it.

Great job.
[Xoom Android Development] sandro.bertini:
For me 1.7GHz produces a reboot in a few seconds in the built-in setcpu stress test.

FOR DUMMIES (LIKE ME) TIP: It is obvious but don't forget to unmark the "set on boot" option in SetCPU when testing stability in new speeds. I put mine in 1.7, performance governor and got a pretty nice boot loop. Had to flash back to 1.4.3, change setcpu and go to 1.4.4.

It's rock solid at 1.6GHz though, I think I should not complain about a 60% overclock.

Thanks BRD for the great work.
[Xoom Android Development] RinTinTigger:
I had the same instant reboot. but then it bootet safely, i set setcpu to my desired speeds and its rocksolid :D
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
I am at 1.7 and seems stable so far... this thing is screamin! Thanks BRD!
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
yep two reboots for me at 1.7. I can run stable at 1.6 oh well.
[Xoom Android Development] droidrev71:
So far 1.7 has been stable for me. This sucka is zooming! Thanks brd
[Xoom Android Development] mulletcutter:
Put it to 2ghz and let's go haha
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
So I noticed that my light sensor wasn't working when I was running 1.4.3 but now it does seem to be working with the latest build. Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] droidrev71:
i think we could go higher. Running great
[Xoom Android Development] droidrev71:
i hope there are many more that can run 1.7 stable.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Confirmed: USB tethering works with 1.4.4

Xoom: Wifi only

Kernel: Tiamat 1.4.4

Phone: Droid Incredible

ROM: Cyanogenmod 7.0.3

I just flashed 1.4.4. Hooked up my Dinc via a host cable to my Xoom. Followed the instructions from BRD in the OP. I can confirm that USB tethering is working for me.

Thanks a lot BRD. This is great.
[Xoom Android Development] hm1b:
BRD, you made my Xoom worth the money....You are the best
[Xoom Android Development] spirit32:
yeah.. but at least my xoom can run 1.6 now without reboots which i cant before.
[Xoom Android Development] oaz1:
Is 1.7Ghz only working with 3.1 like 1.6?
[Xoom Android Development] funkatiko:
Can u please post the voltage at which the processor is running in each frequency??? Also could be possible to undervolt it?? My Xoom doesn´t like these high voltages..maximum i can handle is 1.4...from there onwards, it will reboot always :(
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Yes, 1.7 is only in 1.4.4, which is a 3.1 kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] xlGmanlx:
1700 rocking and rolling here! This is getting insane haha
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
Muahah. Pictures say a thousand words.
[Xoom Android Development] droidrev71:
That is very good too. I just say that so maybe brd will push up the ghz if there are many stable xooms @1.7
[Xoom Android Development] caboyzcoti:
im not one to bite the hand that feeds me or anything but the xoom was silky smooth at stock speed, i think it would be more interesting to expand on non-stock features that this amazing dev community here is so good at bringing out.

[EDIT] still love oc'ing when im doing my benchmarks tho of course lol

p.s. when using the overclocked gpu version has anyone noticed a difference in stability or performance? oh and battery life? id like the extra push as more tablet optimized stuff comes out but not really worth it yet if it drains juice.
[Xoom Android Development] GulMiguel:
Well, I put it in and it definiitely made a change. Long benchmark score is now down to 130 ms and my Quardrant score has raised to 4132. Not bad....not too shabby at all. thx to brd and kc
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
Kinda sad that this is around the Max we can take it to.

But.. with quadrant scores around Five K and linpack around seventy four i am extremely impressed.
[Xoom Android Development] Kippui:
My journey stops at 1600 :(
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I haven't tested these on 3.0.1. But you can try and always flash back to a good kernel if it fails.

Nope, but good deal :D

Full source is posted for review on github. Use the link in the OP. Yes, I'm looking into undervolting. Your xoom reboots because the voltage is not high enough. In other words, your xoom does not like the low voltages.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Lol. I hear ya bro. But I can only do 5 things at once. Don't worry, there are epic things in the pipeline. But what type of features did you have in mind? GPU OC will increase 3d fps by about 5 or 6 fps, depending on what the benchmark is. Powering the display consumes about 80% of battery. OC impact is negligible.
[Xoom Android Development] fordthunder:
just installed 1.4.4 full throttle and now when i go into droid overclock and set the frequency after i return to the home screen the xoom crashes and reboots .

what frequencies are you guys using (min and max) and what governor ?

thanks in advance !
[Xoom Android Development] mulletcutter:
Y would u wanna cable tether when u can wifi thether? Just asking.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Always use Interactive for best experience. I personally run 216 min and 1700 max. you have to find what max is stable for you. Some guys like me :D:D:D:cool::cool::cool: can run 1.7 all day no problem. Others can only run at 1.6. Everybody can run at 1.504 (AFAIK).
[Xoom Android Development] mulletcutter:
Interactive here also..1.6 on 1.4.3 was stable for me, waiting to get home to try 1.4.4
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Me and Solarnz debated that lol. Here's what we came up with.

A situation where you have only a single outlet and your Xoom charger. Tether and keep phone charged at the same time.

maybe a scenario where you don't want to broadcast.

Maybe the phone gets really hot, like my evo, with wifi tether.

that's all we got.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
1) Speed is a little faster.

2) Sitting in an airport, prevents others from using my connection. I know that I could password protect, but I've had some problems with that on my phone.
[Xoom Android Development] cboy82:
damn only stable on 1.6ghz

1.7ghz is a step to far for me .:(
[Xoom Android Development] saleum:
Dear master,

I have bricked the Wi-Fi Xoom as I have set it at 1700 + Performance and did'nt see that it was checked "on Boot".

Now, I don't know what to do. The rebooting is a cycle that I cannot stop. I have only acces to "fastboot". I would like to "begin from the beginning" or to be able to reboot in clockworkmod recovery as I have made some copies.

Could you help me in any way? I will be really grateful
[Xoom Android Development] matguard:
1.5 is OK with me.

Just as I expected, 1.7 is instant death. It is kind of neat however, it is like a hidden "reboot feature." I select 1.7 as a max, and my Xoom reboots. Running at 1.5 is smooth and painless; I have had 0 reboots.

Currently, I am testing 1.6... and it seems promising. Thanks again!
[Xoom Android Development] The Tech Game:
Hey guys quick question, why did you put a stock gpu one and an overclocked one? is the overclocked one a little unstable or what?? xD whats the catch basically.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
If you installed the new CWM version for 3.1 you should be able to boot into CWM. When Moto log appears press vol down, you should get the option to boot into recovery, then press vol up and you should boot into CWM, then just flash back to 1.4.3
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
If you have fastboot, fastboot into recovery and flash the kernel again. It should clear the 1700 "set at boot" setting.

fastboot reboot recovery
[Xoom Android Development] h_zee13:
Wow this is great...I've flashed it about 10 minutes ago and so far so good.

USB tether also works great with Nexus S running MIUI Rom

Thanks BRD
[Xoom Android Development] satadru:
The USB tether script isn't working. It can't find dhcpd.

Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
For me at least, when I'm tethering via wifi it uses a LOT of battery. So if I'm tethering for an extended amount of time, this is problematic. It also makes my desire very warm.

But with usb tethering, my phone is at normal temperatures & it gets a charge!
[Xoom Android Development] saleum:
Thanks a very big lot!!

My problem solved :)))
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
Cool, glad it worked :)

edit: Will we see anything faster? I have been running 1.7 performance with no errors, reboots or heat issues. I know there is a limit however I'd love to break 5K in quadrant :)
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
You typed it wrong. It's "dhcpcd ".
[Xoom Android Development] twinkyz1979:
Hard Reboot

I have noticed every time i flash the boot image and or new kernel it sits at the last part of my boot animation until i do a hard reboot then it reboots normally. Has anyone else had this occur?
[Xoom Android Development] satadru:
Ah hah hah sigh.

That fixed it. Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] lbp102:
I had a constant bootloop @ 1.7 performance lol. "adb reboot recovery" worked for me on a 64 bit system. Now i'm keeping 1.5 or 1.6 in interactive. I gotta figure out what the diff is between interactive and on-demand.
[Xoom Android Development] cadiken:
Put on 1.4.4 while at work and played a game of pool. WOW! Silky smooth at 1.7. No issues noticed so far. My Xoom has never run this smooth. Big ups to BRD.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
BRD: "Decreasing work productivity since March 2011!"

[Xoom Android Development] RoryPG:
Had same issue. I doesn't clear the Set on boot or Performance setting when you reflash 1.44. You have to revert to 1.43, uncheck Set on Boot, select Interactive, turn down the processor to 1.6 or less and then flash back to 1.44 to try 1.7 again on interactive.
[Xoom Android Development] clamknuckle:
Damn, 1.7 is unstable for me. 1.6 runs great though!
[Xoom Android Development] xxspark89xx:
Device: Motorola XOOM U.S. 3G

Kernel: Tiamat 1.4.4

Tried 1.7, and as soon as I tapped it in SetCPU - it rebooted. Tried again, rebooted. Tried again, got it set to 1.7 interactive, went to Linpack and ran a benchmark and I got 72.. when to click save - it rebooted.

Okay, so I drop the freq to 1.6. Seems okay. Try to run Quandrant, got to the very end.. rebooted. Went and ran a stress test with SetCPU. Lasted about 1 minute, then rebooted.

Dropped it down to 1.504. Seems stable at this frequency so far. What gives?
[Xoom Android Development] Vanhoud:
Got a reboot after a few hours at 1.7ghz...back to 1.6 for me :-)
[Xoom Android Development] LNKNPRKFN:
I have had no issues except for my headphone jack has stopped working, and I was watching the movie with my phones and did the flash now it doesn't work... Not a big issue but something to look into
[Xoom Android Development] RoryPG:
Each of our xooms has different tolerances. You and I have just found our top at different frequencies..
[Xoom Android Development] funkatiko:
allright! I was wrong then...i thought it was because of the high voltages....btw, great kernel and great work man. Keep it on!! I´m really looking forward to see new and awesome features for my beloved Xoom... :)
