lol that sifu calling reminds me of another thread that i kinda dislike right now...
that aside, game list that are compatible

Kairosoft Games(Game Dev, Hot Springs) -- use only low setting, "Graphic Priority" cases performance issue

Asphalt 6 for Optimux 2x -- lags due to higher resolution, however, overclocking to 1.6Ghz makes it smooth as butter

Cut The Rope -- limited to portait mode only, even if u docked the keyboard

angry bird series all no issue apart from some lags when the ads appear

there were a few more, but cant remember right now cos seldom touch since i flash back to stock to claim warranty

it's safe, as long as u stick within nvidia's maximum voltage, u wont fry ur device, i saw temperature highest also is 30+ only...
go xda forum and check out clemsyn kernal, that was the one i was using, stable 1.6Ghz
as for warranty i think it does... cos u are tampering with the recovery, rom and kernal... but easily flash back as well, took me less then 10 minutes to flash back to stock 3.1 firmware

try bluetooth tethering, it works for me, i'm using iPhone 4 btw, but it should be the same

no need to do that lar, just turn on ur tethering when u wanna get online, and on ur tablet side, just turn on bluetooth that time and connect to the iPhone, iirc when u are not connected, the bluetooth tethering will just stop itself, so it's just turning on ur bluetooth, that one battery life impact i would say not that big, u can leave it on whole day. if u tether 24/7 i would say bettery could be gone in mere hours, but will still be longer compared to wifi tethering. what i do was, i just leave tethering on, and connect to tablet, when i'm done, i disconnect from tablet side. when i wanna get online with it, i'll just reconnect again, few extra steps, but at least more battery life to my iPhone.. however sometimes i encounter some weird issue where my iPhone cannot be connected, i need to restart my iPhone for that, maybe it's just MyWi causing some issue. If battery life is a concern, bring along ur iPhone cable, u can charge it while u use TF.

Added on July 23, 2011, 3:47 pmu mean in portrait and upside down mode? that was some tegra 2 issue, i read somewhere that tegra 2 cannot handle orientation rotation, so any orientation except for the default would be rendered in software mode.. maybe they finally found a solution to it

since some member asked about overclocking, i might as well post about rooting and overclocking over here:

first, u will need to root ur device, and install CWM into it, here's the simplest way to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
(just follow the long detailed instruction there)

after, refer to here for the kernal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109630

for this, i would strongly recomment version 17 for u, brave souls can try out version 18, but take note that version 18 might cause some harm to ur TF unit in long run due to the extreme high overclocked speed on the GPU

downloaded file should be in a zip format, to install the kernal, follow these steps:
1)boot into recovery(power + down button, then press up if not mistaken)
**instead of the old asus recovery, u see a menu based recovery now, use volume button to navigate, and power button to select

2) select "Install zip file from memory card"
3) navigate to where u saved the kernal zip file
4) select the zip file, it will install
5) after flashing kernal file, go back, go to advance -> clear Dalvik cache
6) go back to root menu, and select Clear Cache Partition
7) reboot **because u have cleared all the cache partition, this boot will take longer, as in minutes of boot time, it's normal, don worry**
8) go to market, install CPUMaster Free(or SetCPU if u willing to pay, i checked screen shot and both are similar, just that the former has ads in it)
9) go in, and push the CPU clock speed slider to the right most.. and enjoy overclocked speed

side note on CPU Master, there's a "Up Threshold" on the advance menu, that one would means on what % of CPU load that the software will overclock your TF, by default, it is 99%, means u have to have full load to trigger overclocked speed, my suggestion is to change that to maybe 40 or 50, that should allow u to enjoy overclocked setting most the time. There's also a "Sampling", that means how long the software will check for CPU load to determine to overclock(or underclock back if it's overclock) or not, that one, i suggest to put to a lower value, i previously was using lowest possible value to swift respond on CPU speed scaling

hope this help those that wants to overclock, and hope u can hit 1.64Ghz without problem

thanks, i tot just sharing what i know to ppl that wants to root/overclock here
will do will do, i'll post it later as i got a meeting to attend to right now, haha..

to unroot i follow this thread's steps only:
http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?1071

there's also another way at the xda forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947

however i think it's because i forgot to perform a factory reset before flashing to stock rom/kernal, so method #2 keep giving me error codes. Both guides are already well written, so i wont be repeating them here
happy flashing!!

btw for stock kernal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120406

but dunno if it's the same for the 8.4.4.11, so if u are on that version, pls do not use this kernal

lemme check if i still have that file, if i have i'll upload it tonight for u


for rooting beginner, there's a even easier way to root now, someone made a command prompt menu to let u choose what u want, more user friendly to flash/backup/APX can do. details are here:

iirc rooting is really safe, bricking device on root is really really rare case, and fpr warranty, i tot root doesnt void, only flash will void?

that explains the problem i faced....

anyway that thread posted an alternative method right? i was using that method to get mine back to stock, u just need to register and login to download the files

oops, sorry bro, last night went home didnt use pc also @@
tonight not free also... but how come u keep stuck at 0.7% one ah?

i don think u can on ajax pop up, like the picture pop up also, u cant scroll down for comments.
i suggest replacing the browser facebook with FriendMe(facebook client for honeycomb, very nice i must say), and ebuddy for chat

well, rooting and OC to 1.6Ghz before, menu are smooth on default orientation. browser, dunno, seldom use, mostly use to play game, and asphalt 6 previously was suffering from some framerate issue, after OC, it's butterly smooth already

the name's BBXiong, and i prefer it that way, lol >.<

glad that i can help someone, this is still my first android device, so imma spend some time to explore it. too bad my TF still in repair, cant wait to get it back, i wan try native Ubuntu on it, iirc it's fully functional without graphic acceleration driver

Added on July 28, 2011, 10:29 amiirc the WW version is normally 7 days behind US, so that means we still be getting it early August, way faster then other non google tablet

Dice Player eh? can TS put this into one of the recommended apps at first page?

how much is the price? internet is slow as hell and i cant load the app page now... but if it is really really good, i don mind paying for it...

btw, does it support built in subtitle(not hard subbbed) and also AAS style subtitle? most shows uses that right now

we tot 28th release would just be the US version, but wow, they release WW edition together...

jeeezzzz tonight need to call everner to ask them when will my tablet be back... they say they will call me to check the issue but they didnt even update me at all dammit
with Dice Player solving my biggest disappointment of TF so far, and the 3.2 update, i really wan it back tonight

lol siapa itu...

anyway my TF in repair mode they say 1 week lar, i send thursday i think, so maybe should get it back by tomorrow gua... tonight need to call them and ask them about the status. IMO, DicePlayer if it can solve all our HD playback issue(performance issue, unable to play high profile, no sound, subtitle cannot support) i think that 4.75SGD(RM11 something) would be well worth, personally, if i tried and it doesnt have much issue, i will buy it

but that also need to wait till i get back my TF T.T

mainly the smartzoom feature, and also, 3.2 also claims to marginally improve the frame rate issue for homescreen and menu on non default orientation. last time it took Asus 2-3 weeks after the 3.1 release to release their 3.1 kernal source code, so rooted users need to wait 2-3 weeks to get a proper working 3.1 kernal, previously since they built their own kernal, there wasnt NTFS support, camera not working, audio driver crashing etc etc..

btw, i think pure rooted users(those that didnt install CWM) can update right away as their recovery module is still the same as stock

but early kernals are unstable and doesnt have some of the Asus only feature, like NTFS support and the keyboard dock info, and looking to the trend right now, new kernals will only be available once asus has release their source code also, means if they don release at all, rooted users will not get any updates, unless using back stock kernal

what i meant was for users on custom kernals and roms, for u, u will need to wait for Prime to cook up another rom version to update, and that would be days later... i didnt got it mixed up, it's just that i'm kinda assuming ost root users will be on custom roms/ kernals, OC has some value, especially if u are playing Asphalt 6(seriously), some other games also show improvement like big bang racing, it became smoother also

if u don mind, can u find out the video/audio detail of the file u are playing, is it a high profile? and what bitrate it has, etc etc
