In Asus optimization setting only the kernel optimization is missing with wwe jelly bean version w/c what we call performance in CPU tweak. Now if your padfone2 will come from Taiwan then you will have TW or CHT version. If its in hong Kong then that would be HK. If it will be in Europe then you will have RU version take note once your in RU don't change the firmware coz kernel for RU version is different coz it has extra LTE band w/c is the 700MHz frequency. In TW version you will have garmin navigation. I don't know in RU version if it has garmin navigation app preinstalled.. Now for starhub. That firmware is for Singapore but WWE is also available there depending w/c retail store you get the padfone2. Flashing TW version as they say its tricky. Reset factory them put the extracted zip file in your internal sd. You need to flash the OS twice coz the first flash will give you error coz of the repartition then boot the phone,reset factory again then install the zip file in the internal sd. Then flash

By the way once you flash different firmware you can no longer get OTA.
[Android General] killkyo:
Just wondering, is there anyway to show battery percentage on original lock screen? For the phone I mean.
[Android General] Someone09:
Do you mean directly on the lockscreen or just visible from the lockscreen? Like on the notification bar?
[Android General] killkyo:
I mean like when we are charging the phone, it shows on the lock screen itself.
[Android General] darkvice01:
That will require coding into the ROM... Unless someone created an app dedicated for the lock screen
[Android General] Cephalus:
Came across "Simply Lockscreen" in Google Play, which purports to offer battery, weather, missed call/e-mail/message counts and other things. Haven't tried it, but I'm sure that's not the only app of its kind that's available.

Rooted JB Working Stock Recovery

quick run down, did the jb ota update then unlocked bootloader, booted with insecure boot img, then gain root access.

i took a dump of the recovery as per earlier instructions.

i have tried 'fastboot boot stock-recovery.img' and seems to boot up normally.

hope this is what we need to get cwm working.

only problem is that i am not able to upload it as an attachment. i am getting a security error

mines works fine with XBMC (using Frodo RC3) - no H/W decoder support so all of the decoding is done by software.. but unless you're going for high bit rate 1080p movies then you shouldn't really have any problems... start with a fresh official XBMC build and go from there.
