I'll be happy to switch to your OC kernel when it is released, I'm pleased with your work thus far. :)

For now, i can confirm that Clemsyn 13b is working at 1424mhz without any problems.

Average of 3 Quadrant Standard Tests: 2208

I typically get ~ 3200 on Revolver. I suppose the problem could be the difference in kernel version?

There will be no my kernel since I'm not kernels developer ;) I will just add OC Daemon - an engine to rapidly switch screen on/off profiles that is working much faster then SetCPU or any other CPU tunner.

I just didn't include custom kernel since latest kernel is 8.6.6.9 right? And it's the latest kernel from Asus or just the latest source?

With custom kernel I can include OC Daemon and then TF will simply fly away ;)

I installed 13b kernel and then used PimpmyCPU and clocked it at 1624 and I have to say...NICE!! Let me know if you want our battery profiling script to add in init.d Also if you want me to change read ahead tweak in the kernel, LMK.

Super Wipe script

Theoretically it should:

- fully wipe cache partition (with erase_image and mkfs.ext4)
- fully wipe system partition (with erase_image and mkfs.ext4)
- fully wipe data partition but it will keep /data/media
- check for errors on cache partition
- check for errors on system partition
- check for errors on data partition

Use it at your own responsibility with NANDROID of your all data:

http://tinyurl.com/3vlc4pj

ok I got confirmed that it gives error status 6 I'll fix super wipe later.

If i want to install this rom, does it need to wipe the cache, system and data partition manually ?
OR
Can we just wipe the cache partition only ??

Thx

Besides CIFS and Recovery option in the power menu, everything works great. And super smooth. Flash fix worked on it, seems to have the same issue I think. Going to be using this for a while now, havent found any other faults. Great work.

Mate remember one thing. The more free RAM you have on Android, the slower the device is. In Android OS it's all about using RAM memory. Why? Imagine you open e-mail app. There is link to open some link so you open browser. You found some document on the website and you want to download it using file manager and the open it using text editor. As long as your applications are kept in the memory, after pressing "back' button you will be immediately in previous place. But if you will decide to make killing the processes in the background more aggressive then every app after pressing "back" button will have to be re-opened again - taking resources, battery, cpu and time.

I hope that explains why task killers are bad on android and a lot of free RAM memory is wasted memory :)

I agree with you, the more you use memory, the more multitasking is good.

BUT I just wanted to say that if you have more free memory, the launched app is smoother, that is a fact.

Ok you will have to launch it again if it has been killed and you will loose some battery, but, for sure the launch won't be too long thanks to the high free memory and the application will be smoother than if there was several apps already in memory.

For transformer, we have 1 gigabyte so you are really right here.

No need to sacrifice multitasking because there is enough free memory to have things smooth in almost every situation (even though when I launch a benchmark or a game, I prefer killing no needed tasks to have it more performing).

But for 512 mb devices or less, I prefer sacrificing a little multitasking to have smoother device (and loose some more battery too but I don't care if my device is smooth)

Hope you will agree on that, just wanted to add some more information on your good arguments because I think noob android users are using task killers because of what I am talking about here and I saw everywhere on xda that experienced users like you always say that without understanding that with more free memory the device is indeed smoother (but I repeat, less true in the case of the transformer).

Hey mate! Profiling scripts are not needed since I will be using OC Daemon. But can you please add conservative governor to the kernel? Also what is L2 Bandwidth in your kernel?

    • Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
    • Advertise my work to your friends.
    • Rate my thread with 5 stars.
    Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!

    2. Sharing policy

    This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:

    • Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
    • Give proper credits for what you used.
    • When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
      obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.

    Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
    • ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
    • Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.

      Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!

    • Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
      Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!

    • Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
      What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.
    Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

    Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

    faq.png


    Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
    A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
    Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
    And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
    For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

    Q 2: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
    A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

    Q 3: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my devivce.
    A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

    Q 4: My Gallery app force close when I tap on any folder How to fix it?
    A: Probably you removed Google+ application. Just restore it. (Thanks to Hunteres for the solution)

    Q 5: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
    A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
    Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

    Q 6: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
    A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

    Q 7: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
    A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

    Q 8: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
    A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

    Q 9: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
    A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
    If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

    Q 10: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
    A: There are some solutions:
    1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
    2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
    3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
    4. Wipe the EFS data in your device. Read this for further instuctions. This is very effective solution.
    5. Read this, this, this & this
    6. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android

    Q 11: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?
    A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

    Q 12: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
    A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
    There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
    What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
    Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

    Q 13: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
    A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.
