Overclocking is the process of tweaking your processor’s (or other components that run on a certain speed) clock speed by increasing it and taking it beyond the default manufacturer set “safe” level, thus, achieving a more powerful performance at the risk of breaking the device. Hardcore tech enthusiasts take pride in taking their devices to their absolute limits, and Android tablet users are no exception.
This ROM is pretty good in itself even without the overclocking and could be used as a daily ROM. It’s been rooted, has init.d enabled to run scripts, has a new boot animation, includes a tweaked database with sqlite3, and many other performance features.
As mentioned, there is a certain danger to overclocking, so it is recommended that you only run the tablet at higher clock speeds only when running apps requiring a lot of processor power. Having it overclocked for long periods of time could damage the device.
This guide shows you how to overclock your Transformer Pad TF300T up to 1.5 GHz.
