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.

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.

quadrant is very unreliable. to some searching on it, it is easy to manipulate I/O or other factors just get high scores. Doesn't really mean it is a great ROM/kernel combo. I've seen posts where people can get their quadrant score upwards of 20,000. All benchmarks apps have their pros and cons but from i've been told/seen in threads CF bench and vellamo seem to be the most reliable.

I've also tried Smartbench 2011, since it measures both cores instead of one and push around 4400 there.....Im loving the speed on this thing....
So many to choose from and i don't have any experience other then Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0. that is the only one i've flashed. Does it hurt your tabby installing new roms constantly over and over again. Just seems like something at some point would get corrupted or something. I don't know.....lol This is very new to me.
What rom is everyone using.
I was wondering the excact same thing,maybe everyone's waiting for an acer 3.2 update.I'm on virtuous picasso 1.1 also,I was hoping for a vp update as that rom seems pretty good so far.Anyone know when we'll see anything as good or are there better that you guys use like taboonay,etc? Thanks.
you will ALWAYS get different answers to this question. It all depends on how you use your tablet. Your best option is try them out and see for yourself. Load the ROM use it for a day try a kernel see what fits your needs, don't rely on other peoples answers.

Hey question for you since your using the same rom. Does your Tablet turn off at night by itself. I used my tablet all day and at night I charge it while i sleep. When i wake up in the middle of the night i unplug the tabby if the power button is white meaning peak charge and then go back to sleep. when i get up in the morning the tablet is turned completely off and the battery is around 90%.........i don't get it. does yours do this?
I'm on Taboonay and loving it...
Currently using Taboonay 3 and richardtrip's 3.3 kernel.
Loving the speed and stability. Good power usage despite being OC'd to 1.5ghz. Had to apply patches to get Netflix going and still having ALL cameras intact.
Needed alt wpa supplicant file to enable adhoc networking...
... But yeah. Good ROM. I'd highly recommend it.
Some people were having issurs with the install, but I followed the instructions CAREFULLY and had zero issues...
Good luck!

do you have links to the rom your using and then the kernel so i can check out the instructions and get the right one.

so how do you install a kernel? Do i go through the same process wipe all, flash taboonay 2.0 rom reboot into recovery and then just flash the new kernel the sameway i flashed the rom without the wipe and stuff?
I'm running Taboonay and richardtrips kernel but I found that when I intstalled the latest version youtube wouldn't work. So i reinsatlled the earlier version of the kernel and now youtube works fine. Bit starnge but a few others had the same problem. I'm also haveing problems with the keyboatrd on the site here. No matter which keyboa$d i use the back/delete button doesn't work hence all the typos here
Not sureif this is a kernel/rom/site issue?
Taboonay 2.0 using richardtrips 3.4 kernel (3.4 addressed h.264 playback and overclocking stability)
stock 3.1
Rooted via IconiaRoot - Richardtrip's kernel installed - max cpu set to 1504, min 256 - switch my Setcpu app between "ondemand" (when i have plenty of battery) and "conservative" (when my battery is low).
is taboonay built on original iconia stock or some other rom? or total original honeycomb (if there's a such a thing)

I would check the taboonay thread but afaik the a501 is the only one we have a 3.2 rom to work from. So if i remember correctly it is based off of a a501
I am running HV 1.1 with HV 3.4 kernel, OC'd to 1.4Ghz. I find this combo stable and fast. My quadrant score is 4124 and I have no WiFi or YouTube issues. YouTube would not work when I was running the HV 3.3 kernel with the HV 1.1. I wonder what quadrant scores other people are getting with their ROM/kernel combos?
I re-flashed with Taboonay v.2.0/Richardtrips v.3.3 Kernel and it fixed every problem i was having. Best ROM/kernel combo ever! Super smooth, zero lag and amazing battery life!. Overclocked to 1.4ghz and getting better gaming performance then i was before as well! Awesome!
My Quadrant Standard Score at 1.4ghz is ( 3952 ) but i'm a hell-of-a-lot cooler then you! LOL

I'm jealous. I keep getting random disconnects with all acer firmware 3.2 roms. I hope with the acer pushing out the new update today it'll fix that issue in the custom roms.

Youtube hd was choppy before, and if you did a lot of benchmarking it would throttle back the cpu. Both addressed in 3.4
Who has their tab overclocked?
And if so at what speed?

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 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

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?

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.

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.
