Probably a simple question...

When I move to the new 4.2.x ROM, as I unsderstand it, I will need to reset the entire system, format all /system, and wipe the caches. Is there some way of retaining my programs/setup across this process? I'd rather not have to re-install everything, and configure it all again.

If Titanium backup will preserve these programs/settings, how the heck do you do that?

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to playing with the new version. I'm running EOS3, #81 with the KAT kernel & APK, and it's very nice setup. Thanks for all your efforts, and expertise.

Love the new EOS Settings menu (and having my buttons back on the left. Also love the ability to make the navigation bar smaller. Butter is back! Smooth and buttery!

A few things things. Dock settings seems to crash for me (not that I really use it). Also SuperSU seems to be not working. I installed Superuser from the market and I now my apps have access to root again. I may have borked that by having recovery fix root during the flash. When I flashed the latest stable yesterday SuperSU was fine, but I also didn't have recovery fix anything, so as I say, that might have been me.

Finally, on boot I get a notice that EOS overclocking didn't set due to the reboot. Is this normal? I found this happened on #82 as well.

So far so good for everything else though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
I haven't flashed it yet, but for SuperSU have you tried flashing the .zip from the SuperSU thread here on xda? It fully replaces SuperUser with SuperSU.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chazzdjr:
I absolutely wish the soft keys were back in the center... It looks unbalanced now. It also has borked the Google Now swipe gesture activation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
What did you backup and restore? I'm on cm10 now and I backed up "Email 4.1" and "Exchange Service 5.0" with titanium. Hopefully that will get it working because I need exchange support. I do have it working on my phone, but I prefer sending emails with my TF101 and dock!

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

Timduru has said he plans to make that user customizable in EOS settings once all the bugs are ironed out.

I'm backing up and getting ready to flash but I feel like it would be awkward having them in the center while docked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
Actually while docked is easier in the center and feels more balanced
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mallard6453:
I'm having the same issue on overclocking setting on boot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
This thread? I downloaded the zip from their site tried to flash it through CWM. It threw an error twice (from two separately downloaded zip files).

E:Error in /sdcard/EOS4/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted

Superuser via the market will do until I flash the next update to this rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
I could kind of see that. But I'm so used to taking my left hand and kind of grabbing around the bottom left and bottom of charging port and using my thumb to press back, home and recent buttons.

Anyways, I just finished backing everything up now and about to wipe and flash B82 now so I don't have much room to speak :P

Yeah that one... You know I had some errors flashing .zips on previous EOS builds (a while ago). I ended up opening the .zips on my PC and fixing them. I don't have my laptop or not near a computer so I'll look into why it isn't flashing later.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Ah okie, that can make a good workaround for those who need it in the meantime then.

What's the exact name of the app you restored exactly ?

Just have a look in Q&A or ask there, I'm sure Titanium backup has been covering 10 million times there.

Let's try to keep this thread clean just for the rom. :)

coolie :)

Ah yeah the new setting panel is almost there but still in the work.

I forgot I had picked that from open commits actually ;) You get a preview of the awesome work Kevin has made at least :)

For the Dock settings, I saw an fix for that in the open on gerrit, forgot to add it I think, so it should be good once it's merged :)

I don't have an issue with SuperSU here, so maybe something you restored.

You could try flashing the rom on top without wiping, if it's that you borked one of the binaries by restoring it'll put the original one back.

For the overclocking I think it doesn't apply in fact.

I think Randall said he was considering dropping support for that, so maybe it has not been updated yet.

Will have to see once everything is considered ready. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JoinTheRealms:
latest preview of eos4 is amazingly stable for how young it is, there is some lag and quadrant scores are low (dont know how reliable quadrant is anyway), but for basic use it works fine. Cant thank the devs responsible enough, didnt think we were gonna get 4.1 let alone 4.2 :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yeah not sure what is going on with the benchmarks.

They might need an update for 4.2.1, I think I remember they were not really giving anything accurate when Jellybean first got out and they needed to update.

Linpack just gives very low scores atm, after the HWComposer has been brought back and that it's much faster and smooth

It seems to be giving even lower scores than the version before. *g*

There's definitely something going on that the benchmarks don't like in 4.2.1 ;)

For the moment I'd say just to rely on your own perception of things,

On my tf101 once mediascanner & google & co have settled down from syncing and scanning, it's very fast and smooth with the latest preview version.

I'd say it might be even faster than 4.1 now.

Using the browser feels faster too, it seems they have improved things on there too.

And there are still a few things left to optimize/fix, so I guess in the end 4.2.1 will bring a boost in performance for our tf101 compared to 4.1 :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dgcruzing:
Actually guys.. Why haven't you got a EOS 4 thread going..

Its going to confuse the hell out of people to have 1/2 a thread with one ROM discussion then the other on 4.2 on another half.

Time you moved it into its own thread..

First movers can play with it.. Then others.. Like myself will follow on later.. Like today i just flashed EOS 3- 4.1.2..and are happy to run with it for a few months.. But its been a hell of a read going through posts to see what is what..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
I agree and have asked for a new thread a few days ago already.

On the other hand there are simply no updates on the EOS3-4.1.2 for almost 2 months.

EOS3 4.1.x has been stable for a while already and #81 is the latest and most likely the last version of that branch.

So just grab it and enjoy if you prefer 4.1 for the moment :)

There's not really anything else to talk about it here, so talking about 4.2 here until it has its own thread is still the best compromise as it allows to progress on the 4.2.1 side that way :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
Installed the preview and WOW. Overall, really smooth. At first I thought I wouldn't like how the status bar on bottom right has been replaced with drop down notifications and quick settings, but I'm getting used to it :D

Great job you guys! Keep it up!

Anyone else using Apex Launche? When I open the app drawer, which I have set to verticial continous, scrolling through the apps is slow. But scrolling through the widgets, and everything else (apps, homescreens, settings) is smooth and fast. If I switch it back to horizontal paginated, it's smooth again. Pretty sure it's something to do with apex.

---update---

Yep, was a problem with Apex, updated to lates beta 1.40beta3 and scrolling though drawer is now buttery smooth! So if you use apex, make sure to go into apex settings, about apex launcher->automatically check for updates->beta versions, press back then tap check for updates and download and install latest beta!

I'm really happy I wiped and flashed this rom. So far in a little over 5 hours of use and no RRs or SODs!

Cab some one guide me in the right direction my browser keeps locking up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] asdfzz:
i think you have to add screen flickering on 4.2.1 bugs.

and sometimes with b62 my keyboard on screen dissapears.(especially tapatalk, im using dock now)

overall it's so good :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JoinTheRealms:
Completely agree, after i wrote that post i installed dead trigger with high settings and the performance was about the same as #81 with your kernel. Lag seems to be in the lanucher (it kinda feels like ICS so the lag is very minimal) yet the transitions look and feel smoother than 4.1, and the browser is amazingly smooth, cant go back to 4.1 now:crying:

Also i kinda owe RaymanFX a boot animation for the liquid smooth rom that i never got finished, since hes working on this also ill try make a cool boot animation for eos4.

heres what i done for eos3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=pA5xJdklE8g

If anyones got any suggestions, let me know :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yep :)

I think I've tracked down where the last piece of lag is :D

it's in the navbar ;)

=> long push the power button and choose Systembars mode invisible.

enjoy 10% more cpu and irq ;P

I'll push the fix later on after I've verified it's not breaking things :)

That definitely looks much better:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
This same thing happened to me. I got errors flashing the supersu zip in cwm. Didn't think to change to superuser. Back at 81 right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Why do you want to flash supersu in the first place ?

The rom is already rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
Like grgmre, supersu kept saying it needed to update the su binary, but the update always failed. Both in CWM and 4.2. No apps had root.

Good news though, i found the problem... I originally flashed 82 in Ray's latest non-touch CWM. I updated to the latest TWRP from Goo and layed down 82. No issues with supersu after that.

So, for now, seems best to stick with TWRP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] didier74:
I agree to the point there should be a new thread, I probably would not have bricked my tf101... my fault.

Problem solved now but have to redo everything.

Have a nice day, and many thanks again to all developers for there fantastic job.

hi timduru ,

First of all, thank u for all the awesome work!

Is there any way to make the "expanded desktop" keep hiding the nav bar even after u lock ur screen ?

And when do u think the official release will be out? i really love the rom i just don't want to use a preview as a daily rom....

Thanks again :)

Just to let everyone know which email app I got working, it was just the stock email app from EOS3. I think it was just Email 4.1. And you can't restore data, you can just restore the app but it worked for me if you need email.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
Uninstalled Superuser and rebooted into recovery. Wiped cache/dalvik cache via RaymanFX's CWM then dirty flashed the preview ROM, and rebooted. SuperSU was working just fine but realized I'd forgotten to re-flash GAPPS.

Rebooted back into recovery, wiped cache/dalvik cache, re-flashed GAPPS (20121212) then got the fix root option in CWM. Clicked no this time, and rebooted. SuperSU was now broken.

Rebooted back into recovery again, wiped cache/dalvik cache, reflashed preview rom, then flashed GAPPS (20121119) and rebooted. SuperSU now seems to be working just fine.

It seems the latest GAPPS screws with SuperSU somehow - at least in my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WVUTampaAlum:
Tim, rom is looking awesome. When the system ui fix goes through should be really smooth. I have noticed some frashing in eos control center but no big deal. How/where can I enable and disable isb debugging? I dont see option anywhere and I need to disable to test the bhtv app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yeah control center is not 100% finished :)

USB debugging is in the developer options.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
Antutu CPU Master sticks the overclock after boot, though I still get the EOS notification that it couldn't do it. Not an issue, though I do see smartassV2 is missing. Interactive is pretty close in real world performance.

I feel like I'm updating my signature a few times a day lately... not complaining though. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
After about 8 hours of use, I got a random reboot. I was watching a movie with MXplayer and it's HW+ decoder. After that I went into recovery and flashed TimDuru's Kat Kernel. That was around 4am. I finished the movie, closed Lid of tablet and put it to the side. woke up about an hour ago (8am) and tablet hasn't RR!! Looking very stable so far!

Some, I included, prefer the SuperSU app over the superuser app.

I did the same, I backed up Email 4.1 from my previous rom (RaymanFX's CM10 Geirdo nightly) and just restored it with Titanium Backup after flashing B62 and I've got my exchange email now working :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WVUTampaAlum:
Weird.. I am not seeing developer options.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] asdfzz:
On 4.2.1 it's hidden

Go to settings - - > about tablet and press 8/10 times on build name
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Tap on your version number 7 times ... #blamegoogle

BTW, 3.1.10 kernel is incoming! K900 is helping me with the dock code, now it won't be long to a next experimental EOS build with the new kernel :) (want to ensure it's usable before pushing to EOS)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mr. phillip:
So, who would have said that the "old" Transformer would still be alive and kicking with 4.2.1. running??

Great work guys, of course it's still a WIP, but stable enough to be a daily driver!

Thanks to all involved, especially Timduru and RaymanFX!!

Cheers from Portugal!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yep I'm using CPU master too, works fine. :)

Did you try to uncheck the EOS settings for performance to get rid of the notification ?

smartAssV2 is not in the default kernel, it's in KatKernel, so you'd need to flash that to get it.

Go to Settings => About tablet

and push 7 times on "Build Number"

New 4.2.1 preview version B69

Here is a new version to address the cpu hog from SystemUI & a few updates. :)

EOS4.2.1-tf101-20121214_previewB69.zip

NavBar:

This version has the NavButtons centered at the bottom by default.

If you want them on the bottom-left, flash this zip after the rom: NavButtonsBottomLeft_69.zip

If you prefer a smaller navbar, go to eos control center => low profile mode

Hopefully everyone is happy now ;P

*waits for those who don't like having the statusbar on top to complain* ;)

Kernel:

Like the previous one the zip contains a working version of the default EOS kernel, so if you want the official kernel you don't have to flash the EOS kernel zip like before.

If you want the KatKernel use the latest one: Tim_KatKernel_70b_JB4.2_Lidpatch.zip

Email:

Flash this zip after the rom if you need exchange / Email app: Email4.2.1_69.zip

4.2.1 known issues:

- The minutes digit of the clock widget on locked screen can get cut

- Inserting a big capacity sd or usbdrive containing a volume with errors won't mount ( fsck timeout ?)

=> workaround: fix the errors on the disk with fsck or another util before inserting the disk.

- Latest google now is crashing after the latest update

=> workaround: uninstall the update, uncheck the hot words detection in the settings, reinstall the update

- There's still about 2-3% cpu usage by the system if you have activated auto-rotation, I've pinpointed the culprit, but will take more time to fix...

=> workaround: disable autorotation

Going to EOS4.2.1 from a rom < 4.2:

Backup everything !

Go to recovery

Make a full wipe / factory reset

format /system

Flash the rom

Flash gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot

Updating from EOS 4.2.1 #XX to #YY

You can skip 3)

The link I posted is actually doing RR between 2 servers, so it depends mostly where you are located , how good your connectivity is to the server and where you fall with the RoundRobin.

But that also means that you can download at 2 connections in // to get maximum throughoutput from both servers at the same time if you use an app that can do that :)

Well it's just that the Email app is not in the rom *g* so exchange is crashing because of that ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
I decided to try out eos4-#82. I flashed it after following the wipe instructions and gapps-121212 and I also saw the error about file contexts and when rebooting, no blue progress bar, just the logo spinning forever. I didn't see this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35295314&postcount=2318

So, I decided to download again on my PC and expand the zip file to see what was going on. I managed to get it to finally boot by peering into the updater script and making the the last few lines about flashing the kernel bits match a previous eos 3 ROM and blob packing the boot.img that was there with the proper name to match the changes I made to the updater script and repacked, rewiped, reflashed and successfully booted after that. It was the boot.img and the fact that it was going to "/dev/null" I suppose that was screwing it up. It all works fine now though. Timduru, is the official eos-82 kernel different than the half baked one that was in the download? In other words, is it necessary since I did get it to boot? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
Grumble grumble!:p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yep the kernel issue is fixed and merged already.

The kernel in the separate zip was built with linaro compared to the one included in the boot.img in the rom.

It doesn't really matter much for a kernel you won't see much difference. ;)

I'd more suggest that you flash the B69 I just posted though, with that one you will see a big speed difference and get all the fixes ;P

4.2.1 seems to add a thin layer of oil on top of the 4.2.1 butter ;)

Damn it's fast now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
Thanks for the quick response. I'll give that a try when my apps finish updating.

Everything is working great. Audio and video over hdmi is perfect. Bhtv app runs perfectly smooth.

One question I do have is regarding audio. I've always found stock rom and pretty much every non cm based rom has audio where seems like should be louder. Is there a working dsp manager that will work with eos or what do you guys recommend? Worst case I can always get an eq app from playstore.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Use the audio mixer from the K.A.T app ;)

(Do not install anything from the install menu beside the adblock though, these are for 4.1)

I'll update the app to remove that from the menu for 4.2.1 ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
Hi timduru,

Been watching the cpu utilization with the latest B69 build. Been booted for only an hour and all seems great. I think launching apps is definitely faster.

Surfaceflinger is pretty much gone from top. Only thing I really see popping up (besides apps I have running) is the googlequicksearchbox. I have this disabled on my home screen so not sure why it's showing up. Not too worried about it, thought you might like to know.

Is there any kernel/configuration combination I need to look at?

Should I just wait it out a day and let it stabilise?
