The official Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) update recently arrived on Asus Transformer Pad TF300T with the firmware version 10.4.2.13. Based on the same firmware, a custom ROM has been made available for Transformer Pad TF300T users in order to overclock the processor up to 1.5GHz, courtesy of XDA recognised contributor known as surdu_petru.

The developer notes that the release is stable and can be used as daily ROM. The ROM is reported to feature the latest boot animation, tweak database with sqlite3, reboot menu, changed icon in settings, custom launcher 2 and more.

Overclocking the processor could put your device at risk since the ROM will make the processor run at higher frequencies that will exceed the officially tested default frequency. Hence, users are advised to overclock the device only when required.

IBTimes UK advises users to proceed at their own risk and reiterate we will not be held responsible for any consequences. Check out the guide below to install the Jelly Bean overclock edition V01 based on latest official firmware 10.4.2.13 on your Transformer Pad TF300T.
