Look how is your cpu by running that in a terminal:

busybox top -n1

It might still be some app synching or mediascanner scanning preventing it to sleep.

Try to uncheck autorotation if you have that checked too.

You can also try flashing KatKernel see if that helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jhanford:
BTW, can I just say a massive "THANKS!" to timduru and RaymanFX for this.

Over the last couple of weeks, this gone from a hopeful idea, to a hit-and-miss "alpha" type build, to B69, which for me is 99.9% there (which is to say, better than the stock builds Asus ever put out).

During the early builds for this it felt as though our old friend might finally have met its match and it would just live out its final days on 4.0. With the addition of HW acceleration, email (for Exchange), buttery smooth responsiveness, etc. this has put our TF-101's (nearly two years old!!) ahead of most of the pack including a number of fairly recent tablets.

So again, thank you so much for supporting our device and keeping it cutting edge!

Doesn't it on every rom? :D Flash is truly crap and it is plain luck if it works.. Adobe has discontinued Flash for Android and Linux and it won't be long before it is on Windows platform too.

fullscreen problem Youtube app when docked

I've noticed a problem with the youtube app

I can't go full screen when my TF101 is docked in the keyboard, the button simply doesn't show

When I undock my tablet, suddenly the full screen icon shows and works just fine

Am I the only one with this odd problem?

Can it be fixed?

keep up the good work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zachf714:
Yep same thing happens to me
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
I noticed this too, but don't remember if it was taken away with the new update and if I could fullscreen with the updated youtube on my previous rom...

Can you fullscreen while not docked?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
Looks like this thing is getting close to prime time?

I'm still on last EOS 4.1.1 build with KAT kernel#69 and wondered if it's safe to upgrade to the newest build timduru just released?

Is everything working? GPS, Wifi etc? Or is this still considered an alpha build for flash addicts who don't mind some funky stuff?

I saw a couple of folks mention that the main Google search option on the home screen was broken, I actually experienced this yesterday after updating the app in the play store. Something's broken with the official google search app, I went back to previous version and all well again.

Where is the latest gapps that fixes this if I choose to install the new 4.2.1 build? I use the google search bar a lot so need this to work.

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tozzke:
I didn't have this problem @ EOS3 (Android 4.1.2)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jhanford:
Flashed the KatKernel and all is slumbering wonderfully now! ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gatak:
Google Search works once you have updated it from the Play Store. I used http://android.tnonline.net/TF101/EOS4/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip and then I simply updated the google search and it works fine.. Not that I use it - so I have now removed it :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
Bearing in mine this will also kill superSU (root access) in my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
You are talking about 4.2.1 though, right?

The latest Google Search update from the Playstore broke it in EOS JB 4.1.1 Build#81 - I had to roll back to have it working again. I tried again updating today and still breaks it.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

Really? Removing the google search app kills root access? That seems extreme!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gatak:
No problems here AFAIK.

I did this:

1) Factory reset (clear system/data/cache)

2) Install EOS4.2.1-tf101-20121214_previewB69.zip

3) Install Tim_KatKernel_70b_JB4.2_Lidpatch.zip

4) Install gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip

I booted and setup my google account and it would restore all apps.

I noticed the search bar crashing when I used it so I updated it on Play Store and then it worked =)

I used ES File Explorer in root mode to uninstall google search bar, so SU still worked =)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] savagepagan:
Does anyone ever use super wipe? Can I use it if I am coming from ICS?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
Safe? Mostly, if you read a lot of this thread and follow good house keeping in regard to flashing roms as far as instructions go. Will bad things happen? Maybe... they've happened to me, but I've managed to fix them and hopefully provide feedback along the way. There's a lot of good advice in this thread and at the end of the day you'll end up like the few of us running android 4.1.2, buttery smooth, overclocked and happy as a clam - with a few quirks due to some stuff that's yet to be fully implemented.

If it helps your decision the current setup in my signature has my tablet running to a point where I go to an Apple Store and find iPads kind of klunky.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zedorda:
I noticed that this has not been updated since 9-8-2012. Has there been any changes since then? Like working GPS and the touch screen issue? I ask because I have been checking this for months waiting for those two things to be fixed before trying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
There have been dozens of pages about various updates since that was posted. :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
I've never used it. The factory reset / cache / dalvik cache wipes are generally enough. Formatting /system (as per timduru's instructions) is an added thing I've added recently. Super-wipe is something to keep handy in case you really bork something up. If you follow directions closely then you should never need super-wipe.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Nice tip (I use Root Explorer but the idea should be the same). I'll keep that in mind and try it out. :)

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

No, flashing GAPPS 20121212 killed SuperSU for me. It may not be a global issue (something that affects everyone), but in my case that's what prevented my tablets apps having access to root. (Ad-Away, Titanium Backup, Antutu CPU Master.. etc). Flashing GAPPS 20121119 allowed me to run apps with access to root. Your mileage may vary.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
Just installed the latest test version and the butter is definitely back, even directly after the install and while restoring apps it's 10x smoother than the previous 4.2 releases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
For me, it seemed like flashing the latest EOS + gapps zip via CWM caused my problem with losing SuperSU capability. When I switched to the latest TWRP I no longer had any problems. I used the 20121212 version of gapps in TWRP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
Which I'm guessing may be related to CWM not correctly supporting the new multi-user ability in 4.2, while the new TWRP does.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] the_unlocker1997:
Is there any way to easily get it back to how it was before because when I flash back to my old ROM games SD data can't be found and it says I have to redownload
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] savagepagan:
Tab will not boot up after installing Tim_KatKernel_70b_JB4.2_Lidpatch. It just hangs at the red, blue, green, yellow logo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
That's all I needed to know ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
Ahhhhh, good point! It was just so weird that everything else seemed to work just fine. Oh well, life is good now.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

You can only install that on top of the EOS 82 and higher ROMs. Latest is EOS 82 69b. Search a page or two back for the links and instructions. And make sure you flash with the latest TWRP from good.im.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
Does the latest build#82 come with KAT Kernel?

Sorry if this has been answered (I ran a search to no avail).

Does the new build#82 come with KAT kernel baked in, or do we still have to install?

I know that the KAT kernel has two flavors, one for ROM's that need the lidpatch (not EOS), so figured that it would make sense to have the KAT kernel as the built in stock one since folks who run the actual stock kernel seem to have issues with DS until they update to KAT?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
Need to install KAT.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
Yeah that fixed it. Flashed the latest TWRP recovery, dirty flashed the EOS/KatKernel/Leftbutton +GAPPS 20121212, rebooted and SuperSU works just fine right out of the gate.

It's funny. I used TWRP as my recovery right up until EOS's 4.2.1 update when I heard the CWM recovery worked better. A few hours after I switched TWRP updated. I didn't bother switching back. Lesson learned. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
No worries. Oddly, what happened to you is identical to what happened to me. Glad to hear someone else confess a dirty flash... It worked just fine. All apps are working, even the temperamental Time Warner Cable app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stcanard:
I found that that yesterday there was some weird interaction with CWM - after a flash of the build + kernel + gapps CWM would offer to "fix" su, which would actually break it.

Today it all worked fine, no offer to fix and no su issues.

I was thinking that it was the new preview ROM, but I just realized that something else changed - although I was running the latest gapps, goo told me there was a new gapps available, but it was still labelled the same. I downloaded anyway thinking there might have been an issue with my download yesterday.

I wonder if the gapps were silently updated to fix something?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] michaeljc70:
My Google search broke with the last update from Google. How did you rollback? Where do you get the last version or did you just go back to the original?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
Try this out:

Go to settings-applications-all

Find google search, tap uninstall updates

open google search and go into its settings (3 dots on bottom right)

Tap on voice and uncheck/Disable "Hotword detection"

Update google search in market and it should be good to go.

Look at timduru's post with B69. It comes with the EOS kernel. That same post has a link to his Katkernel that works on the 4.2.1 rom if you want to switch to that.

If your flashing the initial #82 release, that doesn't have a kernel and you have to flash one right after flashing the rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
To be sure, #82 does include a kernel, it's just not packaged properly and tries to write it to /dev/null for flashing, which doesn't work, of course. I fixed it up and got it to boot, but Timduru's B69 Preview is better anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dgcruzing:
Agree, as its great to see development on going for the TF101.

Mods need to get their A into gear and start that thread..

I got problems on 4.1.2..thus want to settle it down before i have problems with 4.2.

Will go into details a little later as trying to sort it out.. But in a nut shell its gone and lost root in me..

Painful..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gatak:
Yes, I was using TWRP and not CWM, so this could be why it worked for me. Generally, I am very happy with TWRP (touch) :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yes it was fixed a long time ago :)

(not sure about face unlock though, never used that myself)

Here is a quick summary of the current state:

The latest 4.1.x build is #81 and it has it all. :)

The latest official 4.2.1 is #82 from a few days ago, it's still not optimal and contains bugs which have been fixed now and included into the preview_B69 version. So pending a few potential new bugs as it's still fresh, it should now have it all too :)

Once everything is accepted it should be in the next official #83 4.2.1 build or maybe the one after that as it might take a bit of time for the fixes to go through the review process.

In the meantime you can use the preview_B69 version which should be close to what will be soon or later into the official build :)

Yeah, been using it for a few hours since yesterday after a full clean reflash, and it definitely seems faster than 4.1.x even :)

The autorotation / sensor messages overload is also definitely one of the things that is borking the message queue.

I think we have that issue in the 4.1.x version too.

The code is quite a mess on that side, so it's not easy to find a proper fix while retaining the autorotation feature properly, but I should resume on that later on ;)

For the moment, turning off the autoration is definitely emptying the android message loop quite a bit too, making it even more responsive in addition of the previous re-added graphical butter layer ;)

4.2.1 is physically moving all your data into a 0/ folder in the physical internal SD.

to get your data back you need to move everything that is in the 0/ folder back into the root of the internal storage.

If you have tested 4.2.1 multiple times and wiped, you might get multiple 0/0/0 folders,

so make sure you move the correct one.

Did you install on EOS3 or EOS4 ?

This one is made for EOS4

See post #3 there for the compatibility list: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1985882

Try to redowload the zip otherwise, could be a bad download.

Ah weird, but could be that yeah, I use the official TWRP touch here with gapps20121212 and no issues for me. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gatak:
MD5

Perhaps you can post some md5 with your zips? It would be easy to verify - and TWRP supports .md5 zip verification too =) Could potentially avoid issues with download or bad sdcards, etc..

For example I made some md5 on http://android.tnonline.net/TF101/EOS4/md5sum.txt for the copies of your files, but I can't be sure of 100% integrity as I don't have the original md5. (though I have flashed and installed them ok myself)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Sure, if you go back up into the folder you'll find the md5sum:

Running the B69 preview, when I change the softkey colors (soft keys centered), they have the new color until I touch them, then they go back to the default boring white.

Not sure why, but that is what it is doing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Oops, that could be related to the systemui crazy loop fix that I made, might have missed something there.

Hmm, will have a look, for the moment I think we'll prefer the 20% cpu usage back compared to the feature ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Agreed, battery life is more important than eye candy, but figured I would throw it out there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:

What does step 4 involve when it says format/system?

Is that the same as just doing, factory data reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sp_Ark:
At the wipe menu it has the option "system". This will format the partition in which every rom is installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AstroTrain:

I just installed this, and using the launcher I'm getting like 10fps. Everything is extremely sluggish. Any ideas why?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
Which did you install excatly and what launcher?

I had an issue with Apex going real slow in app drawer, but I updated it to latest beta and it's buttery smooth :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Garrykd:
If I (either accidentally or on purpose) sweep up on the home button (i.e. like to activate Google now) the screen freezes. Using the power button to turn the screen of and on fixes it so no big deal and I don't know if it's been mentioned, just reporting in.

Also is the included keyboard the 4.2 keyboard? I can't get the swiping feature to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] D4rkShaDoWz:
It's strange, I'm on latest beta running the stock launcher. Not restoring apps or anything, just swiping from screen to screen, typing, etc.

The lag isn't minor, I would say it's twice as slow as maybe the initial Honeycomb release of the Transformer. I assumed it was just the initial stages of the ROM development, but some people are saying it's buttery smooth so it got me thinking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sttovo:
Just tried and I get the same problem. Seems like the home button targets don't work either. Not a huge problem, just hit the power button and I can recover.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Backwardsblade:
I think that there's still some fine-tuning going on with respect to systemUI. Looks like there's some attention to it on gerrit, so they're working on it. In the meantime, it's not a huge problem to just disable to bars and work with the keyboard. People with that type of behavior might just be disabling it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AstroTrain:
Even after doing a factory reset, and complete wipe to 4.2.1 b69 I found there is a file name 0 which is 5 gigs large that contains all files from my previous 80 build, why and how?? Do I delete this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:
It's buttery smooth over here on my end! Actually faster than CM10 4.1... Do you have a lot of media files on your tablet (pics/music/vids)? Maybe your mediascanner isn't done scanning for all that.

There is actually still a problem with the fps...but all u need to do its to hide the navbar
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grgmre:
I don't want to be that guy, as I really doubt the science on this... I found when I had issues with the rom acting sluggish, especially the launcher, re-flashing the rom helped a great deal.

Over the past few days I've found that if you are already using the latest then you'll be fine with dirty flashing this rom. Credit to timduru and raymanfx for making a rom that's fine with being treated rough.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yeah it's a side effect of the putting back the buttons in the bottom left.

The google now overlay is still in the middle ;P

so when you swipe up the home button, it's actually waiting for your input in the overlay that is centered in the navbar at the bottom.

Put your finger there and swipe up to get google now ;))

That will change once it's configurable anyway, so I don't think I'll bother fixing that for the moment as it's just a temp fix ;)

Twice as slow might be a tad exagerating I'd say ;)

But if you are really on the latest B69, The cpu eating by SystemUI is fixed.

There is still however some kind of interaction going on with the default launcher + navbars enabled.

And there's still one tiny bit of cpu eating if you have autorotation enabled.

Test like that :

- go to the settings panel , disable autorotatation

- long press on the power button, => hide the system bars

If you still see "lag" in the default launcher with that deactivated then it's something else.

As others mentionned that could also be the usual: mediascanner & google restoring stuff.

If the default launcher smoothness is back and it was what you were calling "lag" then you're talking about the issue with the default launcher & navbar interaction.

In that case installing another launcher like Go Launcher EX should make you happy.

That one is buttery smooth even with the navbars enabled. :)

Also if you still find it's laggy, give the result of this command:

busybox top -n1

Yep dirty flashing is ok as long as there are not too many differences between versions.

If it's just binary overwriting it's good to go.

If there are major compatibility or configuration changes, you'll need to wipe cleanly.

In any case if people "dirty flash", before reporting a bug, I want them to test with a clean install with factory reset *first*

That'd save me time in case it's linked to the dirty flashing ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] koutsouk:
i wanted to ask the same thing. i do not think that the keyboard is from 4.2 . I can not find the swipe ption anywhere. As i mentioned before the keyboard FC eveytime i try to write something on a site. Can we do something about that? Is there any solutions?

Can i install a different keyboard to solve the force close problem? Perhaps the 4.2 keyboard?

Thank`s a lot guys! Except this the latest build works fantastic!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gatak:
I am using Hackers keyboard. It is great and offers TAB and CTRL, ALT, F1-12 keys, etc just like any normal physical keyboard. It is very configurable and seems to be very solid =) It is my fav keyboard of all roms since the Asus keyboard in the original ROM when the TF101 first came out. It is excellent if you use the terminal or use SSH a lot etc.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
No issues with that here.

I think you're the only one with having the keyboard FC, so it must be something on your setup.

Did you restore the Android 4.1 keyboard or another keyboard when you restored your apps or such ?

Try that otherwise:

Go to settings => apps => ALL

click on Android keyboard , you can see its version there.

Do Force stop / clear data / clear cache.

reboot.

See if that helps your FC.
