Hi fellow Infinity-Users!

I tried both versions (1.8/1.9), and both equally worked/failed with my (european) TF700.

The issue that actually broke the batch-script was adb wait-for-device, which just seemed to catch a timeout after waiting for the tablet to reboot.

As there is little magic in that script, you can safely execute all it does by hand (basically all the lines involving adb). That's the way I just rooted my TF700 and it worked like a charm.

Alternatively, if you don't feel comfortable with executing the adb actions by hand, you might want to just replace all occurrences of

adb wait-for-device

with

pause

(or something like that.)

Then you will have to hit enter (or some other key) each time once the tablet has rebooted.

What is actually needed for rooting:

Wait for your tablet to be fully booted up.

In a terminal execute the following commands in the folder you unpacked the rooting stuff to:

adb kill-server
REM as we are not rebooting and we don't hit a timeout, the first wait works
adb wait-for-device
adb push debugfs /data/local/
adb push su /data/local/
adb push debugfsinput /data/local/
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
REM Wait for the tablet to reboot
pause
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/debugfs
adb shell "/data/local/debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 < /data/local/debugfsinput"
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb shell rm /data/local/su
adb shell rm /data/local/debugfs
adb shell rm /data/local/debugfsinput
adb reboot
pause
REM Wait for the tablet to reboot

Now check the if you've got a rootshell - thus the given uid and gid of the are indeed root (0). make sure to remove the REM from the first or second part, if needed

You do this eg. by executing:

adb shell "/system/xbin/su -c id"

If you are root, install the Superuser Management Toolpack:

adb install Superuser.apk
adb reboot

Else cleanup:

adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --undo > nul
adb reboot

Hope this cleared things up a little!

(all commands are taken from the script. If someone feels this is undesirable to post here, please let me know, I'll remove that immediately. Thanks to sparkym3, miloj and viperboy for giving me root-power :D!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Thanks, that's interesting, I have the "European" version, as you called it, or rather WW firmware, and the script worked perfectly for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] burningcf:
True, I'm running WW_epad-9.4.5.21-20120601. From what I've seen so far, the issue seems not to be related to the tablet, but seems to be some issue with the OS adb is run on. In my case this is win7x64. What OS are you running? Would be interesting to track this down for others who may run into this issue in the future :-).
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Good point. Unfortunately, the OS version trace seems to lead to nowhere, as I'm on Win 7 x64 too... perhaps something else then?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ray3andrei:
Run on balanced no matter what, everything runs better, and the tablet seems to not get stuck anymore or lag while downloading... so for the love of your infinity run on balanced instead of performance

Sent from my Jelly Beaned GNexus
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I had good experience with "balanced" too, but if you compare it to benchmarks you can see that actually some operations are faster in "performance": mostly GPU, but not only that - RL Benchmark (SQLite Performance) is 110 in balanced instead of <90, reading & writing speeds are often faster in "performance" etc. But I agree it is the best mode to be running in everyday use, mostly because of power/battery *balance* and governing the CPU.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ray3andrei:
i really cant seem to get better gpu performance,,, quite the contrary i get better o balanced

I used sparky root on my prime and my tf300. Question. Can I use sparky root on my tf700 or will I need to do the debugfs method? If I have to use the debugfs method is there a step by step link?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
So far only Debugfs has been confirmed to be working.

Hi Sorry for a q, if it's a noob one, but I am not new to android but Just got my TF700T yesterday, just rooted, worked perfectly.I am on 9.4.5.30. ICS 4.0.3

The question is: is JB available for this? my device says no updates.

thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
Not officially. Just check the threads in this section for CM based JB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] odeccacccp:
Thanis, thats what I thought.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
I guess I should have said AOSP and CM based JB. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Has anyone bumped into a variable for setting max. background processes (say, to 4) without having to click in the settings manually after every reboot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] AIR-WIZZ:
I rooted my Infinity and was wondering if I can allow Asus Firmware updates without messing things up. Will I remain Rooted? Will Firmware updates modify my ROM? Firmware updates arent Rom updates, are they?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Firmware [update] = stock ROM [update]

Use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to keep root. There are millions of threads here about it, do a little reading.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
Root keeper doesn't seem to hold on the .30 update. Just an FYI.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
It id for me, perfectly. FYI :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] houtx2:
I can vouch for that. Had to re-root after upgrading. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
+1 (combined with SuperSU, it worked flawlessly - I'd recommend using SuperSU as a part of the JB preparations anyway)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Hey,

in the newest update (JB) i have noticed the build.prop already has a density of 160 set, but it doesn't really look like that.

More like the default one before (was it 240?).

I just updated my pad, haven't rebooted yet - i usually first root and change build.prop.

So, will it change to 160 after reboot or did ASUS change something and we can't have our pads with super tiny fonts :) anymore?

How can i get my super resolution back?

Thx
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
How did you apply the update without rebooting? It reboots on its own. :confused:

The dpi setting in build.prop is only applied at boot. If it was changed and the tablet hasn't been restarted yet then it won't have taken effect.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Well, i think it is pretty obvious it did reboot as a install sequence, but after that, i haven't reboot it yet as a Let's Golf game is updating 888MB and am still waiting to do my first manual reboot.

But, can you look at your build.prop and let me know what does it say about density?

thx

EDIT:

finally did a manual reboot, too, but the screen is like 240 density, not 160 like it says in build.prop

What's with that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
It's possible that particular setting in build.prop has been deprecated. Or there may be something else overriding it. I haven't updated yet so I haven't had a chance to play around with it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I wouldn't know that as the install fails on my device because of the signature mismatch for cpu2.sh

Can someone upload the original cpu1/2/3.sh files from /system/etc/ from any pre-JB ROM? (if not, perhaps JB will suffice)

I can't remember what I've changed besides adding the line at the bottom, probably FPS.

Edit: I always forget I've made some kind of backup, in this case there are some hashed lines there, I'll try unhashing that and deleting what follows and see what happens ;)

Edit: Seems I'll need that stock cpu2.sh from someone anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Here's cpu2.sh and build.prop from JB: http://jumpshare.com/b/z7KJEa
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Thanks! I've just found one from the Prime and thought that THIS might be the issue, which your file has just confirmed:

#This is blance mode!

I've changed it to "balance" in my file at some point (should be "balanced" probably anyway). I need to kill the inner editor in me now ;)

Let's try this again..

Edit: That was it, it's updating now. BTW, it seems they haven't changed a char in this file, including the 35 persist.sys.NV_FPSLIMIT value, which makes one wonder what these actually have in common with the advertised "JB 60fps UI performance" and what they don't...
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Density in build.prop is in fact set to 160,but seems unchanged in practice, so this really might be obsolete now. Anyone had any luck with changing pixel density under the JB?
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
I tried it and got the same result. I also flipped ro.sf.override_null_lcd_density to 0, but that didn't seem to help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
This is so disappointing. I am so sad. After having such a great screen for many days, now i have to look at this weird oversized icons.

Just frustrating. I hope we find a workaround cause this is just bollocks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
A question on DPI tweaking.

Does it have to be supported by kernel, or is it just a mere OS settings thing?

If it is kernel, then the only solution will be a custom rom.

Otherwise, we

have to

find a solution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I don't know the answer to the DPI issue, but happily we won't need some of the tweaks from the OP since the JB is out (OP updated).

Perhaps we'll find out we need some other... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Are you still using ATP Tweak for I/O?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
No, there was no need to load a kernel module since .26 - sio hasn't been performing so well back then as compared to stock cfq (I haven't checked it under the JB though, but I'm using No-frills now to change the scheduler to another stock one, being noop).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
I'm having an issue in one of my games where the resolution seems to be off or something. I can't click to select certain check boxes and can't seem to rapidly tap on certain buttons as it goes slow. I'm thinking it may be tied to this new dpi situation. I never changed my dpi to begin with, but it's clear that now the resolution and alignment have changed in some sort of way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Maybe because i have been using 160 dpi for some time, i am now really no used to this new setting, but to me it seems it is not even 240, more like 320. If you ask me this was not ASUS intention, but more like some kind of bug that came in the process of upgrade or build.

Is anyone else feeling this is more like 320 than 240?

BR
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
Nah.. its seems like 240 to me. I was using 200-220 before and the UI elements are only slightly larger now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] AIR-WIZZ:
I've tried to update my ASUS Firmware twice now and both times failed and reverted back to original configuration. I am still on ICS 4.0.3. I am rooted/bootloader is NOT unlocked with SuperSU, SU and Voodoo all running fine but anytime ASUS offers an update the unit reboots into a screen with a little android getting surgery and a big red exclamation sign for a while, then it reboots into the same old system and posts a message that the old configuration was used without being updated.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Should I unroot in Voodoo first?

How do I get the update to run again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
There are hundreds of threads here on how to run the update again, put just a *little* effort into it and look for info on dlpkgfile.

As to what might have gone wrong, just go to /cache/recovery/ and see the file named last_log
[Asus Transformer TF700] Delta313:
JB takes twice as much time to load fully including all widgets

is it just me or JB seems to take much longer to load fully

With ICS it took about 1 min 12 seconds to load once all bloatware were removed and including all widget fully refreshed on the screen, and I was finding it very slow.

now with JB the screen comes up faster but the widgets are still "loading" in the background for up to 2 min 28 seconds before they show up on screen

that is waaaaaaay too slow now:crying:

I think some fault goes to media scanner, because it rescan everything on each reboot, keeping the processor at max frequency for at least 10 minutes, and bringing down my battery life in the process. Is there a way to stop media scanner altogether? and only doing a media scan when needed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I only have the calendar widget but I boot to lock screen in about 55 seconds on JB. By the time I unlocked a couple seconds later everything looked finished, but I can't watch the stopwatch and the tablet at the same time for exact numbers. I definitely don't have a scanner going on for two and a half minutes...let alone 10.

Have you tried clearing all of your app data to ensure there are no conflicts? Remove the widgets and re-add them one by one as well, just in case.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Why not just leave the device on instead of turning it all of the way off every time? JB seems to be *very* easy on the battery while in deep sleep. After all, these kind of devices are actually meant to be "always-on" - that's what makes them so convenient...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Delta313:
I tried all this and still the same, I guess I will go back to ICS for now until JB can be tweaked properly,

I will give it a few weeks to let all the tweaking tools to upgrade so we can use them in JB as well.

Nowadays a tablet that can't be tweaked to optimum performance is almost like using a Ferrari to pull a 2 ton struck....It can certainly do it, but I bet you would rather not use it that way
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
Hmm. I haven't tweaked JB much beyond freezing/disabling apps and I don't have the performance issues you describe.

Have you tried booting without any widgets at all to see if they alone are the problem? As I said I only have the one and I'm pretty quick.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
You should really try a factory reset. Most people running JB report positive experiences as far as performance goes. Tweaking isn't going to fix your problem as it is obviously caused by something outside what is installed by the JB update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
one of the reasons I don't like gallery. I remove it and use quickpic, because can I tell it what directories to scan. there is also a command to stop programs searching though a directory. you save a blank file with the name .nomedia, I'm tired and think that's the name, you or someone please verify this. programs won't search that directory. book covers, album art, I don't want them in gallery. by not searching all the directories it should speed up load times.

Hi mate,

just wondering about this tweaks,I am currenty on JB CleanROM and wish to apply this tweaks.

my current settings is: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80

it's possible to set as your recommended: 8, 16, 32, 128, 192, 192 ?

Thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
How can you remove it now that JB ties it directly to the camera?
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I downloaded another camera app. Camera JB+ just looked at gallery + and its the same. Joke on me. There are other camera apps, paper works but thats not a good option for default. Others I've tried load up portrait and thats a pain. .nomedia seems the best option. When i remove a installed app I make a backup dir and place removed apps there. This way i can restore if needed. Like ota update.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
Adding .nomedia isn't the same as removing the gallery app. We're rather stuck with an extra icon now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I wonder if only the default viewer scans or if gallery always scans. if default only using another program that gives more scan controls would do the trick.

woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
you can always use another launcher and hide the icon in the app drawer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I know. But I only use alternate launchers when the default is ugly...like TouchWiz.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I'm not sure I follow you there, why wouldn't it be possible? Just change these values as described in the OP and see for yourself..
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
What do you mean stuck with extra icon?

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
With Quickpic or any other Gallery alternative installed, Gallery is a reduntant extra icon. Since disabling it also disables the camera, we're stuck with it.

I'm not sure why I had to explain that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
You didn't have to reply.

I couldn't understand why you made such an obvious statement about an app in the app drawer in first place. Since it is so obvious, I thought I might be missing something.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
There are camera apps that don't need gallery. Mx camera seems to work pretty well. I need to transfer pic to PC to check quality, my initial impression is very good picture quality. Fast burst might be good for action shots but I didn't see a 8 meg settings. There are probably more app, these are two that look interesting.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I made that obvious statement because you seemed to imply that using .nomedia has the same effect as removing the gallery or hiding its icon by adding ".no media seems the best option" amongst commentary about other camera and gallery apps. You made it sound like an alternative to hiding the gallery when you quoted me.

Infinity TF700t Boot animation

Can anyone tell me where the Transformer Infinity TF700T Boot animation directory is? I have looked and searched but it isn't in the /system/media directory. As I said I have searched all over for the answer but no help. Sorry if this has been asked and answered I just can't find it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
That's where it is on mine...bootanimation.zip as expected.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Hi,

it was in /system/media on my pad, too. Than, after I applied a .30 update manually (had some problems with a pad, long story), it didn't worked that way anymore.

Now, i have to put it in /data/local i think (don't have a pad with me, but i can check it at home if you want).

Needless to say, this is VERY strange to me. Don't know why it doesn't work for me the old way.

Actually, i tried to change the boot animation like I always did, but it didn't change at all. Also, bot animation was not the Asus one, but some kind of android guy with Android title. Than, i used Boot Animations app and only than i realized it put the file in totally different location than i was trying to.

BR
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
That's weird because I did the .30 update manually too. I'm on Jellybean now though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
the boot animation location and the ability to put in a custom one depend on which kernel you are running. generally it is stored in /system/media.

if you have a text file in /system/media named something like bootanimation_04.txt, it points to the location of the animation. if your rom utilizes the pointer, you can put the animation file pretty much anywhere.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
Before i am going into this a question to play on safe.

Am i correct that i have to install a buildprop editor from the playstore.

For Example just the plain old build.prop editor

And when opened and given root acces

Just add the lines you want to add

such as

# BATTERY SAVING

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

pm.sleep_mode=1

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

save restart and thats it??

And what buildprop editor would you recommend?
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
You could do it manually, but, it'd be easier to just download System Tuner from Play Store. Then you can change build.prop and more all from one app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
Thanks will try that one out :)

Yet when in buildprop do i have to add the lines as described in my earlier comment?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I just used the text editor to modify the build.prop...

Music skipping/stopping

Is anyone having issues with music (loaded on the microsd card) skipping and/or stopping completely while listening? This has been happening quite a bit with me. It is hard to figure out when it happens most, but seems to do it more when I'm actively downloading and or using the internet (wifi only).

Roms:

CROMi-X 5.4 - most Asus like rom since it's based on the stock rom. Development has stopped since there are no further official updates for this tablet, but still great if you like the Asus UI.

CROMBi-KK - based on CM11 (which emulates JB 4.4.4) and adapted to this tablet. Stable, faster than CROMi-X, few bugs

ZOMBi-X - based on OMNI rom which is based on CM11, multi window support, in release candidate stage (RC), so expect some bugs, but smoooooth and very usable.

You'll notice that all of the above are from the same developer(s). Call me biased because I am... ;)

There are many more. You'll have to try them to find out which one is for you.
