Ok, so I ordered 2 Tablets by mistake.
1. Has great build quality. In fact, it is perfect, but only OC's to 1.4ghz
2. Has squeeky build quality but has an OC of 1.6ghz and has been stable for over a day.
Which one do I keep?
#1
10char
#1, for sure! 1.4ghz OC stable is a good result, and more than fast enough.
It depends, what are the build problems in the "crappy built" device?
keep #1. What makes you want a faster clock speed?
It squeeks when you fold it firmly.
What kernel / ROM are you using on your 1.4 GHz?
Also note that the kernel could fix 1.4 GHz as your max clock.
I'm using Prime 1.4 with Clemson 1.8a to get the 1.4 and 1.6.

Honestly, I don't even see a need to OC. It's fun to play with, but it's not something I'd use all the time. So I would just stick with #1.

just a side note, i was running kings kernel and ran 40 Mf constant on linpack. i just flashed ziggy's, got constant 35's
i just found this
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2657&view=1&c=verizon_htc_droid_incredible_hd
and it makes me wonder, couldn't we take this devices kernel once its available to make a stable 1.2 ghz standard incredible? the processor cant be much different. i think ima start looking into this a bit...
edit,
they just jumped equal

Oh but it is... Not only do the new snapdragons have a higher clock rate, but the GPU is supremely superior.
Also there are SOME dinc snapdragons that can overclock to 1.2ghz (1.19 really) using a custom kernel but most aren't stable at that speed. I myself can climb to 1.15ghz but my device restarts when I try 1.19. It has to do with the manufacturing process; not all CPUs are created equal.

Ok, yeah I can do 1. 19 stable, now I must find a kernel or build a kernel that is capped above 1.19 just to see how far I can go.. I wonder if this thing being aosp is gonna give me annual issues
I have mine at 1.28 with ziggys kernel and it's stable

yeah its kinda disappointing.. but it happens.. ima have to build a custom kernel for linpack now.. im stuck at 40 mf... so sad....
Hey everyone...I tell ya, I sure am enjoying all these awesome custom roms and kernels. Great job to all the developers here, putting in the blood, sweat, and tears for the advancement of the community, thank you so much. One feature that I saw in a Xoom build was the GPU overclocked, and while I'm sure it won't interest everyone, and there is probably only little gain to be had from it, I would love to have the option to oc the CPU and the GPU for the highest performance possible...please. Well I think that covers it unless someone else shares my desire to see this feature. Thanks for all your work and consideration XDA and have a great day.
if ur CPU OC than GPU too
Apparently not so on the Motorola Xoom as there are two versions of Tiamat 1.4.4... with and without GPU OC. Tiamat 1.4.4 Full Throttle

oc-ing the gpu doesnt get you anything... gpu is default 200mhz 2d with 300mhz in 3d and it can be uped to 250mhz 2d and 400mhz 3d but it cant be software controlled and it will eat more power...
and no oc-ing the cpu doesn't oc the gpu, its a separate part of the tegra2 processor
Hey Thor, thanks for joining the conversation. Based on what youve seen so far, how well are the tegra GPU cores being utilized? Suffice to say I've pulled off insane desktop GPU overclocks that showed almost nill gain with drivers that werent mature in which the GPU cores werent being loaded past 50% . I realize that the tegra is a horse of a different color, but isnt it still affected by the specific driver optimizations, hence the THD enhancements? Just out of curiosity as I very much trust your experience. I am still interested in trying it with definitive comparisons to follow...well about as definitive as synthetic benchmarks can be anyway.
I just saw that you have a new beta... Yay. I cant wait to give it a whirl.
I have been over locked for a little while. Max I have done is 1506 but it tends to be slightly unstable. I run 1400 now and haven't had any issues. biggest difference I notice is home screen transitions load fast and don't lag and programs load much quicker. there doesnt seem to be any games that will push the CPU hard so I don't notice much of a difference there.

I've had 1600mhz going strong with no instability, benchmark after benchmark, the only issue I've had is the device shutting down when left alone for too long, but I consider that a useful standard function. Otherwise 1600 performance has been rock solid. I decided to take it upon myself to take this girl apart' clean the CPU off, remove the thermal pad, and apply some as5....though the chip didnt really run very hot to begin with. Now until I have the option to go for 1800mhz, I'd like to see where the max threshold is for cpu/gpu oc.
I have mine overclocked also at 1600.. Runs very stable at this speed and benchmarks not too bad:

Can only the 3D Clocks be altered without touching 2D? If yes can you make such a version of the ........... that "nobody" knows anything about?

Very nice quadrant score man, I used to score alot higher until I updated to stock 3.1+ updates. It seems like the higher my OS version number gets, the lower my synthetic performance gets overall.

Wow!
Umm, what rom do you guys run for this? I'm on rooted and CWMd stock 3.1 rom. Can't find a OC kernel for it. Only one I can find is for ASUS based roms. I prefer to keep stock rom if it's possible.

You should try richardtrip's kernel. His kernel is keep updating Very good performance and stability.
thats the kernel i am using o/c 1400 works very well. you can find it in the development thread.

Thanks! Works great. Do you feel the HoneyVillian rom runs faster with the v2.4 Kernel or about the same as stock Acer 3.1 HC rom with v2.4 Kernel?
So far I can keep stable at 1.5 after 2 hours of use. It's also slept for 30 mins and seems ok at that too.
Also what kind of Scaling do you guys use? Ondeman, Interactive? On my phone I use ondemand.
Has anyone got any opinions on performance with either firmware? In terms of how fast/well they perform. FC issues and battery life?
I am currently using Prime 1.6 (without Netformer). Revolver has OC from Netformer built in. I'm trying to figure out which has the best performance/battery. Prime 1.6 with Netformer or Revolver.
If you think Clemsyn is better you can also throw that into the mix. Maybe we should have a shootout using some benchmark apps
netformer at 1.4 is realy fasy
I've installed it just yesterday, and changed the wallpaper to a regular pic (not live), and i gotta tell you the thing is just flying!
i've set the cpu to 1.4 - i could go up to 1.6, but i guess that will have a huge impact on the battery and the temp as well...
Im runing revolver right now and i hinks its pretty good. i have only had my pad for 4 days but have tried out most of the roms and kernals already. best preformance and battery seems to be revolver 1.1.1 (1.1.2 was just a test to see if his OTA app worked) with the elite tegra 18 kernal. not sure if that will work on your i have been told it is unstable for most people who dont have an elite processor. i have model b70 so that might factor into what kernal is best for you

Don't tell me it's 10 times faster than an already overclocked TF in Vellamo. I've seen several reports from people with 1.4-1.6Ghz, and they all are in 1100-1300 range, getting 1195 myself @ 1.4.

minor nit pick: kernel
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Revolver is really fast, I'm running at 1.5 GHz. I haven't tried out Prime 1.6 yet.
I'm on prime 1.6,i havent tried revolver or netformer,of course i am using nets kernel @ 140000GHz,runs real smooth,even with my live wallpaper,battery doesnt drain too fast.I like running the themes and most of them are only made for prime 1.6.

sorry hit the 1 twice. its at 1.64 ghz and getting about an average of about 1800
Who has their tab overclocked?
And if so at what speed?
MJ-12
OC @ 1680 on thor's with no undervolting and no issues. getting overall scores in CF bench 8600-9100 with no overheating.
OC to 1400 with richardtrip's. Never had any problems. Using Setcpu and a screen off profile to knock the speed back when the screen is off.
i'm running 1.4ghz
I'm running Thor's 3.4 @ 1680 with supplied voltages and no problems as stated above.

at 1.4 do you notice any actual improvement, did you have a reason to oc in the first place?
im just asking because my a500 seems good at just the 1 ghz on richardtrip's
I'm using richards at 1.5.
Some people are at 1.6 but mine reboots after a few mins at that speed
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I'm in the same place. Using stock 3.1 ROM with richardtrip's kernel, and 1 GHz seems fine to me. I had it at 1.4 for a while, but ultimately didn't really see a need for it.
Thor's 3.4 @ 1.47 GHz without any issues. For me, this is the best compromise between performance and power consumption.
Best regards, maris
OC to 1.4G, getting 3871 score in Quadrant,
so far so good as a balance between performance & battery life

Same here, I'm running v3.4.
Stock 3.1 ROM with the last version of the custom kernel that supported 3.1. I go from between 800-1500MHz. Depends on what I'm doing. Reading in Kindle? I'll go down to 800Mhz or even lower. Watching Youtube videos, I'll crack it up a bit.
V2.5
Running Richard's V2.5 on stock 3.1 @ 1.504 ... very smooth AND stable

1.5 and no issues. Marked inprovement in app response.

It's been about a year since any benchmarking threads have been created for the A500, and I'm interested to see how people are getting better performance.
I'm running Flexreaper v5 and I score around 6200 in AnTuTu. One other ROMs and other kernels I'm getting around 4300. However, the AnTuTu comparison charts show quite a few people scoring 7500+ with the A500.
How are people getting such high results?
Overclocking maybe?

Hoping for something a bit more specific. Kernel, ROM, CPU Frequency...
BTW - Mine is OCed to 1.5 GHz
Think I found one of the ROMs that's getting such high performance. I got the JB ROM from he would cannot be named, and this thing flies! 5600 in AnTuTu with no OC. Set GPU to 400 MHz and OC'ed CPU to 1.6 GHz, and that clocked in at 7225.

I'd be a little careful at 1.6. Runs a little unstable, and is only for benchmarks.

It looks like the new kernel allows clocking up to 1.68, so I have just left it at an even 1.6. I haven't run into any major instability so far (knock on wood), and I really like how smooth it is. I've finally been able to play Asphalt 7 smoothly (good way to blow off steam at work). Thanks, though.
