Please do not flash this on the WiFi only Xoom yet. An update will be coming. In the meantime, you can just recompile the source from my github and it should work on the WiFi only Xoom.
I have successfully brought the Tegra 2 in the Xoom to 1.5GHz. A few kernel modifications make the dual core chip in the Xoom even more powerful than the recently announced Tegra 2 3D! 1.5GHz through two Cortex A9 cores is truly a force to be reckoned with.
2/28: Applied L2 prefetching patch. This increases Linpack to about 63 MFLOPS @ 1.5GHz. Flash the kernel and push the wifi module again: http://www.setcpu.com/files/xoom_ocboot_v2.zip (thanks ccfries for the heads up!!!)
Instructions:
1. Make sure you've unlocked your Xoom's bootloader for flashing first, then root it.
2. Grab this zip and extract it. It includes a boot.img with the overclocked kernel and a corresponding wifi module: http://www.setcpu.com/files/xoom_ocboot_v2.zip. Thanks to Koush for the rooted ramdisk in this boot.img!
3. Reboot into the bootloader by running:
adb reboot bootloader
4. Flash the boot image to your boot partition, then boot back into Android by running:
fastboot flash boot xoom_ocboot.img
fastboot reboot
5. Push the bcm4329.ko to your /system/lib/modules folder and reboot to re-enable wifi:
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb reboot
The usual disclaimers apply here. Only do this if you know what you're doing. Though the long term stability/reliability of similar overclocks on other Android based ARM devices is known, this software is provided with no warranty, and I can't be held responsible if you fry your Xoom or anything.
The kernel defaults to 1GHz max for safety, and also includes 1.2GHz and 1.4GHz steps in addition to the 1.504GHz step. I've also updated SetCPU to support the Xoom, so grab that (I know the interface currently looks bad on the Xoom; a tablet optimized interface is coming soon!). SetCPU versions prior to 2.1.1 will not work for setting speeds on the Xoom.
Source code: Based on Google's android-tegra-2.6.36-honeycomb with some overclock specific modifications by me.

I get ~47 MFLOPS in Linpack for Android, 35 MFLOPS stock. Linpack seems to hit a wall somewhere and isn't really accurate for the Xoom:
I get ~355ms in SetCPU's native bench (C only, the Tegra 2 sadly doesn't support NEON), ~534ms stock. This scaled almost precisely with clock speed, but the native bench isn't multithreaded:
3105 in Quadrant at 1.5GHz, compared to 2226 stock (though Quadrant tests more than just the CPU):
Keep in mind that the benchmarks I tested often aren't multithreaded enough to show a large difference between the Xoom's Tegra 2 and a similarly clocked single core Cortex A8. Some operations benefit more from the Cortex A9's improved architecture and/or the two cores more than others.
Enjoy your even faster Xoom!
Niiiiiceeee work! How about stabilty? is it stable at that speed? good for everyday work?
Holy sheep ****! A 50% overclock is very impressive. Nice job, here's to hoping overclocking eventually makes it's way to the Atrix.
Just awesome!
amazing work. I flashed it, and it's working great!
nice work! Going to give this a shot now
I get to step 5:
5. Push the bcm4329.ko to your /system/lib/modules folder and reboot to re-enable wifi:
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb reboot
and get error: device not found. isn't bcm4329.ko suppose to be in tools folder?
actually how do I push the bcm4329.ko to /system/lib/modules folder

ADB doesn't seem to be able to find your Xoom. Sometimes you can just unplug it and plug it back in and run adb kill-server to get it to detect again, and/or re-enable USB debugging.
As for stability, I did not have crashes at 1.5GHz on my Xoom.
how do you run adb kill server
tried adb remount and device still not found. help
Did you reboot the device after doing the fastboot command? If not, run
fastboot reboot
ok did that now when I try to push the file it says there is no such file or directory
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
I looked and I do not have a modules folder. Is there suppose to be one in the android/tools/lib folder on my pc?

You need the bcm4329.ko to be in the same directory as adb, Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools/
The modules folder is a folder on the actual Xoom itself, it's just where you're copying the file to, and it most certainly should have one.
ok finally got it to work! no when I look in setcpu the max is 1504 and min is 216 but the numbers up top (big, bold and in white) keeps changing. From 312 Mhz, 216Mhz, 1504Mhz and so on. Is that suppose to happen? I thought the number was suppose to stay the same. And is the set on boot suppose to be checkmarked?

What CPU Governor are you using? I use On Demand, it's going to scale if it doesn't need all that horsepower... I always set it on boot myself, I actually found after first boot it was defaulted to 1504mhz instead of 1ghz... I set up profiles for good power saving.
p.s. I'm still using SetCPU 1.4.4 from a LONG time ago when I originally got it on my Droid, works perfectly on the Xoom.

Yes. Change the scaling to performance if you want to see it at the highest value all the time, but leave it at interactive for battery life, because it will only scale up based on need.
how does this affect video play back speed? Likely software mode rather than hardware mode.
a visitor from the atrix forum! i was just wondering anyone with this kernel if they could test HQ flash performance over at gomtv.net for SC2 GSL games. I know super nerdy but I watch these often and on the atrix at qHD there is some noticeable stuttering (about ~20fps) i estimate where a overclock to tip that over to around~25fps would be really helpful. does the OC help alot from stock with flash performance?

Virtuous Codename: Trentacinque Beta
Maybe some of you already saw on Virtuousrom Website that I was able to leak some screenshots of the new Virtuous ROM. But now I was able to leak a complete build from them *lol*
But now to the "real" stuff:
The rom itself is based on the Runnymede RUU 1.05.401.4. After some days with trying to make this build really stable we still need to say this rom is still in a early build state. So be aware that there will be some problems left. Also there aren't any tweaks at the moment in the rom. We first want to make it stable and then begin to add some nice features.
As you maybe already saw we have no name for the rom at the moment. Therefore we started a thread in our own forum where we got a lot of suggestions for it. We will now try to pick up the best five suggestions and then start a poll here on XDA.

[GUIDE] How to set up a SD swap partition
This guide will walk through how to set up a SD card swap. SD card swap allows your SD card to become a place where your physical memory can become virtual memory thus helping free up more physical memory . This is most likely needed in 512 mb devices running Virtuous Unity. This guide has in mind that you have knowledge of ADB. If not you may follow the alternate way, but I have not personally tried that way. If you would like to know more about ADB and how to set it up please go to ]this guide by theunlockr.com: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/.
*Please back up everything on your SD card before going forward, I’m not responsible if you do not follow this step and loose everything on your SD card or if your phone is killed in anyway.
* Please Upgrade to Clockworkmod to 3.0.2.6 or newer before making the partition
1) Please boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM, CWM Recovery). Once there go to Advanced-->Partition SD card-->Ext and Swap partition sizes. You will want to pick 128 mb for ext and 256 mb for swap partition.
2) Reboot into your ROM and place this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32936737/swap_enabler.sh script into the root (not with in any folder) of your SD card.
Once there you can go two directions. Direction A is through ADB, Direction B is through the terminal emulator.
3a) Type these commands in the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
chmod 755 /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
3b) Type these commands in the terminal emulator (You can find this on the market)
Code:
su
chmod 755 /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh
Please reboot your phone after the script is done
4) Verifying that it works. Please choose 4a if you used ADB and 4b if you chose terminal emulator.
4a) If you’re using ADB type these lines in the command prompt
Code:
adb shell
free
4b) If you’re using terminal emulator type these lines in the emulator:
Code:
su
free
If you did not get a bunch of 0s that means it is working, Congratulations.
__________________________________________________________________________________
The following code will not update partition tables on sd card, it will just switch off the swap in the system
If you want to do this enter these lines in the command prompt (If using ADB)
Code:
adb shell (skip if you're already in adb shell)
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh disable
If you want to undo using the terminal emulator do
su
sh /mnt/sdcard/swap_enabler.sh disable
Code:

I never get many sms on my vison, in fact i never get any. So i have been unable to test this.
There really is not much that we can do about the missing sms issue.
How ever i'm finding that with swap enabled sense 3.5 seems to be a lot more usable than 3. So maybe it will be less of an issue. Currently ghostly is not included but can be found in the market if required.
Also there is no graphical corruption on non htc widgets when using swap.
I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Been testing for a couple of hours now, and here's my findings:
1. Had hot reboot in setup screen (entering twitter account details)
2. Cursor randomly left text boxes during setup (no issue after)
3. Trackpad wake is missing
4. In OC/UV Beater, lowest OC available is 245mhz (is 122mhz in Unity)
5. as above, lowest UV is 800mv (was 700 or 750 in Unity?)
Good points vs Unity:
1. Swap doesn't corrupt widgets, seems to work perfectly (saw 140mb free ram)
Everything else i've tried works well, smoothly, and responsive. It's a DD for me, and a lot better than some other roms out there!
Nice job!

Thank you for the feedback.
One of the issues we had with the last release of Unity was that people were experencing random reboots caused by the default UV, being able to go as low as we allowed was not good for the majority of devices. So the lowest options that were available have been raised.
Trackpad wake is a feature that we will add soon.
There are a few issues with text input, that we know about inculding the issue you have.
And hopefully the reboot wont happena again.

Ah, i see. Could i suggest that the lower OC/UV settings be made available as a separate patch for people with devices that can handle it? (with a big warning saying that installing this patch isn't recommended etc)
Then most people would be stable, and the lucky few can have silly underclocks for better battery life at idle.
Thanks again
So far it works well! Good job guys!

awesome, cant wait to try this when i get home, by the way how much RAM are you guys getting after flashing this?
App Version:
CPU Sleeper
~Free to all XDA Memebers
~ Must Be Rooted to use App
What is it?
Its a fairly simple App that will put CPU 1/2/3 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1/2/3 back ONLINE.
How does it work?
Since we have Dual & Quad core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1/2/3, core 0/1/2/3, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active "CPU0", this App will make sure CPU 1/2/3 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
Compatibility?
Works with any Dual Core & Quad Core Devices!
~ICS
~Gingerbread
Battery Saving?
Battery savings all depends on Usage & idle times.
v2.7
App Download: CPUSleep.apk
v2.8 via Market
CPUSleep.apk
Version 2.8 Release Notes:
~ Fixed GPS Not Locking while App is installed
~ GNex Freeze Issue should be Fixed
~ JB Compatibility should be fixed regarding Sleep Of Death
~ Fix Quad Core Sleep Issue's
~ Better Handling of CPU2 & CPU3 on Quad Core's

Script Version!
Code:
This time I present to you a script that will in theory (and so far for me, in reality) save us some battery without having to risk our hardware with undervolting! I present to you...
[B]CPU Sleeper[/B]
[QUOTE]Honestly the Script can be made to work with any Dual Core / Quad Core! The Only Problem is you need to be Rooted!
~ Currently the issue with CM9, is that the boot becomes incomplete while in init.d folder without Modification to the sysinit..
~ however, with any rooted device you can download the script & continue to use it via a script manager app on every boot.
~ With the Script Manager App, this script virtually can run on any Multi-Processor CPU
Hope that clears things Up,
~~Eugene[/QUOTE]
[U]What is it?[/U]
Its a fairly simple script that will put CPU 1 OFFLINE when the screen turns off. Once the screen comes back on, it will allow CPU 1 back ONLINE.
[U]How does it work?[/U]
Since we have dual core CPUs, we have a CPU 0 and a CPU 1, core 1 and core 2, while the screen is off we really only need to have 1 core active, this script will make sure CPU 1 shuts off while the screen is off, then resumes normal usage when the screen comes back on.
[B][COLOR="red"]WARNING! READ THIS![/COLOR][/B]
This script relies on init.d OR script manager! CM9, for some reason, tends to run this at the exact same time it runs some other script (I forget atm which) and it will clash, causing no boot! CM9 users MUST use the script manager version install! Flex Reaper appears to work fine with it as init.d. I strongly urge you to use the script manager version of this, NOT the flashable version. Always make a nandroid backup before modifying the system, including this!
[U][COLOR="Red"]Instructions[/COLOR][/U]
Available in 2 versions, script only version which you can place wherever you want and run however you want, or a CWM/TWRP flashable zip that will place the file for you in /system/etc/init.d and set permissions.
[I]Version 1: Flashable[/I]
Same as any of my flashable releases, I did most of the work for you!
Make a full backup
Download to external SD card
Install from SD card
Pick the cpu sleeper zip file
it'll be almost instant
reboot
Shouldn't be any need to clear caches or anything like that.
[I]Version 2: Script only[/I]
This can be run in 2 ways, via init.d support, or via script manager. Both are pretty similar, and can be done a number of ways, however this is the basis of how.
[U]Init.d supported kernel:[/U]
Make a backup!
Download the script file, making sure no extensions get added onto the file. Copy the file to /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions to the following:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, reboot the system, and it will take effect when your system is finished rebooting.
[U]Script Manager[/U]
This method is probably the better method, and should work with any kernel/ROM. Download the script file, making sure no file extensions get added, and copy it to /system/etc. Set the file permissions to:
XOX
XOX
XOX
Once done, load up script manager, select browse as root (if it isn't already set from the crossix mod method in the guide) then browse to /system/etc and select the script file S98cpu_sleep, then select ROOT and BOOT options. After this is set, reboot system.
[U]What do I do if I can't boot after using this?[/U]
You made that backup, right? Ok, then here is what you do.
Hold the power button until the tablet powers off
Press and hold the volume down button, next to the screen lock switch
Press and hold Power (while holding volume down)
Once the recover kernel message comes up, release the buttons
In CWM go to advanced, mounts, mount system, then format system
In TWRP, go to wipe, then wipe system
In CWM go to restore, advanced restore, restore ONLY system
In TWRP select restore, then uncheck all so ONLY system is checked
After restoring system, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then reboot system.
System should boot normally.

How it works:
1. Each boot.img packs zImage (real kernel) and ramdisk (special files for kernel use)
2. This one has all modifications from LGGW rootboot by Justin Case:
a. Adds su binary, superuser.sh install script, modified install-recovery.sh and additional step into init.rc file to invoke superuser.sh install script. Also modifications to mount system as rw and some disabled security.
3. So basically it mount system as rw and does following (cut from superuser.sh install script):
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
/system/bin/sleep 2
/system/bin/cat /sbin/su > /system/xbin/su
/system/bin/cat /sbin/su > /system/xbin/daemonsu
/system/bin/cat /sbin/install-recovery.sh > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/bin/chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
/system/bin/chown 0.0 /system/xbin/daemonsu
/system/bin/chown 0.0 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/bin/chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
/system/bin/chmod 06755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
/system/bin/chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/bin/sync
/system/bin/sleep 3
/system/bin/reboot
I have dumped the rom from my debug/test version and was wondering if you were able to give me a guide on how i could try and flash it with a retail version? I presume this root guide probably won't work for me
Well, if hardware and partitions are the same - I do not see why it will not work. However, it will not help to flash.
I might try to compile twrp, but will have to carefully read its docs first.
thanks @XorZone confirmed as working and a nice easy process too (I was already unlocked).
Out of curiosity, modded LGGW rootboot or just renamed?

Thanks for letting me know!
I reverse engineered changes in LGGW by unpacking and comparing ramdisks from both rootboot and original lg kernel and then applied the same changes to our kernel extracted from PC Companion files.
great thinking and good job ?
btw, that pic confirmed su access to watch over bluetooth debug connection ?
really great tutorial. I am planning to buy this watch, but I think currently there is NO app that requires Root. so I wonder how can we get benefit of this ?

There is at least Wear Control app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=octathorp.wearcontrol
I plan to code density changer that will require access to adb, so either from rooted phone or rooted wear.

that's awesome man! will purchase mine next week, can't wait to root it. thanks for the answer.
Thanks for the root, XorZone. For anyone wondering, here's the dmesg of the watch
A few small observations from digging:
The main chipset seems to be the BCM23550
The CPU has 4 cores, 2 are disabled in software. Should be easy enough to reenable if you please
It definitely has WiFi hardware, but the firmware is currently missing from the image. If you mange to get a hold of compatible firmware and nvram, it should be simple enough to get WiFi up and running
The WiFi firmware message mentions a "43341". Which is odd because apparently the main chipset does have WiFi support built in. Searching for a Broadcom 43341 gives you this, but this might just be a red herring.

Yeah, I noticed the same about WiFi chip, it might be that they packed bcm43341 as part of the BCM23550 soc, like Invensense MPU9250 chip packs mpu6500 inside.
For the 43341 I'm finding it in the configs here: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/+/bdde9f16131a5ac2039062d5ce22e3e153acbe68^!/
Looks like BCM43341 is BCM4334 + NFC chip, so we could try S3 I9300 files as per http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS3I9300Firmwares

I've confirmed root survives the Lollipop update
Wow, I was out whole weekend, will have to catch up with the update
Hello from the V10 Forum! This is a mod I created and posted for V10 users, but as various devices use Qualcomm hardware and similar operational conditions, the biggest similarity being Linux , and by some requests from others here to post this, I am offering this modification to other devices as well. It is already thoroughly tested and the logic and rationale behind the conditions are cross compatible with many Linux systems/machines anyways. You should see positive results just as everybody else has.
You must be rooted to apply this mod.
**SEE POST 2 FOR CHANGE LOG**
***VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THIS MOD, you need to navigate to the /system/etc folder on your device, and rename any files that exist in that sub-folder that have the words "ZRAM" in them to have a .bak extension rather than a .sh extension so it does not run at boot.
You will also need to navigate to the /system/bin directory with a root explorer and rename the "mpdecision" binary to "0mpdecision.bak" .... The added 0 is just to move it to the top of the list of files so you can find it easily if you need to.
This is a step by step instruction on how to replace the /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh file for the device. Be it known, however, that this instruction (and file) can be used with any device running the Snapdragon 805 SoC combo.
What does this do?
Simple. It turns your device into an even more efficient powerhouse. Here are is a list of everything done:
-Interactive Governor tuning for performance and better battery life, a quick description of what I did...
-low load, quick response, low frequency
-high load, quick response, higher frequency
-modified input boost settings for Interactive
-Locked cpu cores on - your battery life will not suffer, don't worry.
-Modified a bunch of system permissions to remove samsung garbage from controlling hardware.
-Switched IO scheduler to noop, and tuned accordingly
-Adjusted minfree values (RAM management, it is a little more multi-tasking friendly)
-Adjusted VM parameters - swappiness, dirty ratios, cache pressure, centisec values, etc (again to complement multi-tasking... your data will hang out a little bit more before being written to disk, but house cleaning won't happen all at once, so there is still good performance and your system won't bog down while it is flushing the toilet)
-DISABLED zRAM!!! - I have no idea why a device with 3 GB of RAM has zRAM enabled. This is purely a waste of CPU cycles and other system resources. You want physical memory, not compressed memory.
-Changed congestion algorithm to cubic (better network performance... assuming the network bandwidth is already there
-Cleaned up the shell file and fixed some errors.
-Removed calls to mpdecision
-More to come!
How to do this, we'll just get right to it.

Download this file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzM9W6qUvx-gX1I4UDlLV3VIUWM/view?usp=drivesdk
Very important you put the file on the root of your INTERNAL SDCARD!!!
Do not forget to do this.
After you do that, open terminal emulator, and type the following commands in the order they are presented (I would highly recommend just copying them from this post one by one and switching back and forth between your browser and the terminal app):
Code:
su
Code:
cd /
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Code:
cd /system/etc
Code:
rm init.qcom.post_boot.sh
Code:
cd /sdcard
Code:
mv init.qcom.post_boot.sh /system/etc
Code:
chmod 0644 /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
Double check the file has been replaced with a file explorer of some sort, double check permissions, then reboot. Good to go.
***CHANGE LOG
5/14/2016
-Modified scaling up activity to be a little less aggressive, this should help battery life quite a bit
-Switched scheduler to cfq and tuned it, huge increases in io throughput - the new cfq should be used for these devices, no comparison in performance to any other
-Moved. above_hispeed_delay module down the pole a bit (moAr batteries)
4/28/2016
-Initial Release

the note 4 has 3gb ram..?
So just copy and paste and hit return after each line in terminal
Edit: i think it worked because my i/o is set to noop now
Sent from my Not4 Mod using Tapatalk
I just did this the old manual way in root explorer. Added .bak to post boot instead of .sh, copied the new post boot to system/etc and changed permissions. Added .bak to mpdecision. No zram files for us to edit. Rebooted. Ran antutu with a 5,000 point increase. With MM I steady got 70,450's and now.
This is great for now until we get some well built custom kernels. All the roms I flashed since I had the note 4 from launch day, and I don't think any devs worked on tweaking the post boot like they used to on the HTC eVo line like I was used to.
Hello only for sprint note 4? Can be used for 910c?

Well my experience with this is odd. I did what Death-Dealer suggested and I can tell things are working faster/better but my antutu score went down instead of up. As long as I'm happy with the performance I guess it doesn't matter what antutu says.

tx's stock deodexed PC1 rom with xposed
New file in the link in the OP, made some pretty drastic improvements for you note 4 guys.
You should see a good bump in performance with no hit to the battery life.
Check the change log in the second post.
I'll be around
NOTE:
1- First tnx to @soniCron for his amazing work for governor profile... here
2- I edited GhostPepper in to the init.d script and values completly with XZ cpu cores frequency.
3- No need to run terminal any more for set profile at any boot! or use third-party kernel manager or profile manager apps. only copy/past, set permissions, reboot and BINGO
BACKGROUND:
I test Butterfly (from HTC10) profile and MadDog from (Nexus 5x) and edit that for xperia xz. After multi time test and check diffrent values... i fine GhostPepper v1.3 is a complex of smooth like butter, good performance in games and best battery life for day to day use.
Quote from @soniCron :
Uses a quantized, frequency-aligned parametric curve to influence low core clock rates while providing extremely smooth transitions from each clock rate and exceptional battery life. The current favorite, albeit not very well tested so far. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
REQUIREMENTS:
1- rooted xperia xz
2- enable init.d (see post2)
3- TWRP recovery installed (for enable init.d)
4- any file manager with root browsing feature. (or use twrp built-in file manager!)5- enough knowlage about linux permissions, governor, init.d
CREDITS:

The interactive tweaks change to cpu clock jump step. In medium usage like web surfing or lesson to music you don't need max freq.
Now cpu need more time to raise to max frequency
This profile set gpu clock at maximum for little frame drop in games (play AAA games drain battery fast)
If you no need that only delet init.d folder or delet governor file.
please, help!
sh: can't open 'term-init.sh'
why is it happening?
First mount /system in twrp (your device must be rooted and busybox installed)
Run terminal and
cd /sdcard
sh term.init.sh
OR
sh /sdcard/term-int.sh
Check sh file saved at root of sdcard and check file name

Can you make one for drunksauce gov it's the best on Nexus 5X and is used in D.U. has crazy SOT on my Nexus can we get this ported to XZ. If not what do I do to get it ported just open the init file and edit the frequencies and how many CPU like ex: cpu0 cpu1?
Well I tried to port drunk sauce my self using the 99gov for Xperia XZ I found in this thread as a reference for the frequencies on our device. I'm running it now can confirm it is a success. I'll m working on it over the week. If anyone wanna try and give me feedback that be cool. I'm noticing a small drop in proformance in stamina mode but there no lag and SOT seems to be great. Give it a shot :good:

New update to my DrunkSauce port now on Version 4, Noticed that when I was checking CPU statistics I was showing the most used frequency on LITTLE Cluster was 1593MHz, Also noticed the associated battery drains from this. Added 3072MHZ Target load to LITTLE Cluster and Also changed the Input boost to have LITTLE Cluster firing at lowest frequency 3072MHz for CPU cores 0-3.
Enjoy!!!! Because im loving this thing right now buttery smooth and power saving.
