Surely, best buy wouldn't allow me to still exchange it after 45 days though, would they? As it turns out, I will be getting a new one from best buy today - but I still need to do something with the broken one so I don't just lose my $600!!

Or did you buy the best buy 'extended' warranty?
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
BB makes it easy man. That's what I did with my tf201 that was unlocked. Took it to BB after 10 months, told em it was manufacturers defect. No questions asked and got a gift card with $520 on it, which I then went online and bought the TF700.

So If my TF700 breaks I would do the same thing since they honor the 1 year manufacturers warranty. They dont check to see if its unlocked, they just take it back and happily give you your money back in the form of a gift card. So yes, after 45 days you can easily take it there, if you truly bought it from there and can show a valid receipt.

oh and no, I had No extended warranty....
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Wow, that is awesome. What I *do* know is that I will *never* buy anything electronic from Office Depot again! While researching their return policy, I found that you *cannot* get a refund for any electronic device if it was opened! They will only exchange for the exact same product if you open an electronic device! While this is meaningless in my case, if I would have decided against the TF700, they would *only* exchange it!! that is horrible customer service!

Be warned! :)

Hello Guys,

when will the v4.0 Version come?

in the next 2-3 days or later,

i will go on Monday for 3 weeks to USA and so i want to know if i should wait or not (and flash v3)..
[Asus Transformer TF700] psych2l:
Read a few posts up, the dev is still recovering right now, best to just flash V3 before your trip and have a nandroid of stock ready.
[Asus Transformer TF700] csp2510:
First off, hats off to zeus for such a clean andfast rom. I just seem to have one small problem,which hopefully someone can help me fix. Using the browser(asus one) whenever I use the omnibar to search for something in Stock it used to preloaded search results, and just like chrome. Now though whatever I search for directly forwards me to Google mobile home site without actually searching for anything. If I change the search engine to bing or yahoo it preloads the results just fine. Anyone encountering the same issue? Contemplated using chrome, but not having h/w acceleration really kills me while scrolling...

Can't wait for v4 keep up the great work zeus and get better soon
[Asus Transformer TF700] pogibry:
I use Chrome all the time and I love it! I've just barely switched to OverSkreen just so I can get a floating app, but haven't used it enough to give a real opinion.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Komrade Kluck:
After flashing this ROM my AnTuTu highest score went from 13333 to 14422. I was also having problems with THD games crashing but so far I've been good. Can't wait for version 4. Keep up the good work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smaw51:
Recently flashed this rom, amazing work! I like how it's set up with no bloat ware and you include a zip with all the stock apks! Using rom toolbox I can extract it on my tablet and install the stuff I want without going to my pc! The only one that was a little difficult was the weather, but copying it to system/app did the trick! Feels a lot smoother than stock.

Thank you Zeus, we expect the forward link ... I prepare my TF700 for your version 4.0 ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
Thanks ! You are the one :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Thanks - I was previously a user of version 3.0 until my TF700 decided to die on me (hardware issue) - I have been hesitant to unlock the bootloader on my replacement TF700, but I think I just found a reason to do just that!!! :)

Keep up the great work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
I've been debating unlocking just for this rom. Well that and its the only rom out there. Im assuming this is close to what wookierom was for the tf201.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
@Zeus - Can we still use the original "stock full add-on pack" in order to get all default apps back?

Thanks again!
[Asus Transformer TF700] smaw51:
Should be able to, looking at that zip, it just installs all the stock stuff, so you can open it and pick and choose the stuff that you want.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NickS VR4:
Any chance this fixes the microSD card compatibility? I have a 64GB UHS-1 Sandisk microSD I can't use yet (w/o SD adapter).

The ROM is installed, everything is OK. I will enjoy to see what she has in the belly ... Pending JB on the TF700 :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I see that Zeus recommends a clean install...has anyone tried to flash this over version 3? Problems...no problems? I'm backing up everything anyway, in preparation...

Update; OMG! This is fantastic! Great work, Zeus! You are a god!
[Asus Transformer TF700] smaw51:
I did a full wipe when I flashed it. Very nice! It is quick to back up and restore everything with rom tool box. All apps and data are back super fast

When I instal v4.0 I still have all my previous apps and data, is this normal? I have wiped everything but somehow its still coming back, as if Ive dirty flashed when I really havent.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
When you go through the install wizard, there is an option to have app of your apps automatically re-installed - did you leave that option checked? If so, it will re-install everything automatically...

ALso, just to clarify - you told TWRP to do a factory reset before installing 4.0?
[Asus Transformer TF700] itrof61:
I dont see that option, also when i try to factory reset it says failed
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Did you try a factory reset from within TWRP? I did a factory reset in TWRP before I flashed 4.0 (per the steps listed in the OP)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] itrof61:
Got it to work now, turns out I was confused and was trying to format data and not do a factory reset. Sorry and thanks!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
No problem - glad to help.

Also, look into an app called Browser2RAM - it speeds up browsing a great deal - highly recommended! Between Boat Browser and Browser2RAM, browsing is very nice on the TF700...

After running Browser2RAM, reboot and after rebooting (and getting past the lock screen, if enabled), just let the device sit there until the superuser window pops up for Browser2RAM - if you start using the device before the window pops up, yoou'll never see the superuser request and browser2ram won't be "activated".

Good luck and enjoy your TF700! :)

@Zeus - any way to incorporate the Browser2RAM into your ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I believe a recommendation/info in the OP should suffice for the browser2ram.

It's very unclear with what browsers it works, as there is no info at all after running this app/tweak. I haven't noticed much speed improvement in stock or Chrome, but there were various opinions on that, so I believe it helped some (but I'm quite happy with how the browsers perform without it anyway). There is potential data loss in the picture too, but perhaps this is not so important for most users (I tend to leave open tabs as a way of postponing some reading, so personally I'd consider it a flaw on a still quite unstable device).
[Asus Transformer TF700] golfinggino:
Just flashed 4.0 and seems very good what launcher are you guys using I just noticed I an running the stock browser on this ROM I am running nova launcher on my 6 other android devices and wondering if I should put nova on this device as well ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] smaw51:
I use apex and I'm satisfied.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Perfect combo so far of boat browser and browser2ram with this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Nova has been crashing all the time on the stock ROM for many users, but it's definitely faster than Apex. You can try and report back how it's running on Zeus's ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] THunDA:
Wow...just installed boat and browser2ram.. sure makes a huge difference in browsing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, I seemed to noticed the biggest speed increase with Browser2RAM when the browser (Boat in my case) was set to "Desktop" mode (as opposed to Android or other modes).

@Zeus - absolutely loving this ROM - good stuff - this is what the Asus stock ROM *should* have been! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] golfinggino:
I think i must need to adjust the settings, i loaded boat browser and browser2ram and dont notice any difference from thestock browser
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheAnarchist1:
Guys....be wary of Browser2ram. I hear that it is tough on the device's internals, and I distinctly remember a long debate over in the TFP forums about it the pros and cons of that app. Honestly if you need something, though I think stock is pretty fast. I recommend picking up the tune.sh over from the TFP forums, which sets you to SIO. I use that and any issues I might have had are gone. Just a little helpful information for you guys :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tmaurice:
I'm not one to usually put a lot of weight into the benchmark results, but this one was too good to not post..... After I did a couple more tweaks to Zues' rom in System Tuner. Wouldn't want to run it this high all the time, but it was interesting to push it to the max.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Please elaborate! It's simply using RAM as a cache - it's not using flash memory as cache or anything like that. I can't see how using RAM as a cache can be "tough on the device's internals" - that's what RAM is for! I think you are confusing using flash memory as cache, which is not what Browser2RAM does... If anything, Browser2RAM should be *easier* on device internals as it caches to RAM instead of flash memory, like the browser does by default (hence why it's sluggish to begin with). RAM is meant for constant read/writes - flash storage it not. At least that's my understanding!

EDIT: about the only "danger" of using Browser2RAM is if your device or browser completely crashed while using it - and that would only cause you to lose cached web pages - that's it - hardly a real "danger"... Besides - how often does your device/browser completely crash anyway?

EDIT2: Here is some more information on Browser2RAM: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...5-fix-browser-not-responding-browser2ram.html

Hi

Folks

My computer is broken i ordered a new laptop Asus Zenbook. I go for surgery this week and

next week I move into a new home. I read the discussions and will continue to develop as soon as possible.

Zeus
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
@Zeus - any way to donate? I would love to give to the cause! You've done some fantastic work here and I think the user community should help foor the cost of your new laptop, as it's what enables you to make this awesome firmware! :)

By the way - good luck with your upcoming surgery and new home! Man, you have a lot going on! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Zeus, I hope all goes well with both the surgery and the move to a new home. Those are all very stressful events coming up, yet you gave us this terrific rom to play with while you recover and get things in order.

How can we donate to you, to show you our appreciation and to help fund your efforts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoID:
I also got a TF700 now. While I've rooted it, I've not yet unlocked it's bootloader.

No offense to zeus34, you are doing a great job, but in terms of performance and such... is this ROM really worth the risk/unlocking?
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
I'll put it like this: if all of the people on this forum who are complaining about performance (not hardware issues) unlocked and flashed this rom, two thirds would stop complaining immediately and start having fun with their TF700. One third will just find something else to complain about, imo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I would say "yes", it's worth it as long as you have some sort of "catch all" warranty (such as Square Trade). Once I was relatively sure that there were no major flaws with my TF700, I decided to unlock the bootloader - I just like having the option to flash a custom recovery and custom ROM's, etc and was not about to wait a year (when the Asus warranty expires) before unlocking it... By that time, I may have already moved on to a new device!

That being said, I would *not* recommend unlocking if you haven't purchased a SquareTrade warranty (or something comparable). Asus just has too many QC issues and with the TF700 being so new, who knows what types of issues we will run into later.

That's my two cents! I know one thing, the TF700 is just such a better device running the Zeus firmware, so again, it was well worth it!! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] zeus34:

I do not want to do this for money.

[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Wow..... so much for hardware being the bottleneck theory....
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
@Zeus - quick question for you... I've noticed that since installing the Zeus ROM, my SmartDimmer is no longer disabled automatically at bootup. Previously, on stock, I simply added the command to disable it to the /etc/cpu2.sh script and I did re-add the command to your customized cpu2.sh script (and I see that you also attempt to disable it in one of the /etc/init.d scripts) - yet, it remains enabled until I switch out of and back into balanced mode (where it then runs cpu2.sh, thereby disabling smartdimmer).

Are the cpu?.sh script no longer run at boot-up under the Zeus ROM? Any idea how to get the smartdimmer to disable automatically at bootup?

Minor inconvenience for sure, but would still like to correct it if at all possible...

Thanks!

Coming from eoh7678 stock deodexed rom I notice a much longer boot time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
What about the actual ROM performance though? I've never really understood the "it takes too long to boot" view - how often do you actually boot the device? I would think that most folks leave the tablet on 24/7, so boot time is really a non-issue.

Also, keep in mind that the first boot will take longer - have you tried to reboot since then? Is the bootup still that much slower? Again, not that it really matters - just curious...

Boot time

Me, too. Longer than I remember stock having...

Just rebooted it, and it took almost 4 minutes.

Unfortunately Chainfire's LiveDmesg didn't work, else I would have seen what it was doing all that time...

Luckily snappiness afterwards makes up for it.

Hm,

here's two other ones, maybe it helps.

Hmm, it seems that the damn SmartDimmer keeps re-enabling itself! I know it was disabled, but after opening my docked tab after a few hours of non-use, it seems to be re-enabled again!

@Zeus - is there something in V4 that will keep re-enabling SmartDimmer somehow?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] smaw51:
I've been having fc with boat browser lately. I was thinking it might have been because of browser2ram but it has still been having issues after removing it and rebooting a few times. I think it has just been happening when I have 3 plus tabs open.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Hmm, haven't noticed any FC's with Boat... Maybe try un-installing and re-installing it (or clearing the cache from Settings->Apps)?

I'll do some further testing as well to see if I can get it to FC.

After clean install my boot time when push power button to android 1 min.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
@Zeus - the Smartdimmer thing was driving me nuts, so I did some testing and here is what I found (the results make no sense to me, but the Smartdimmer is now disabled at bootup - still have to wait and see if it re-enables itself after the devices sleeps for a while).

All that I did to get it working was to *remove* the following line in "/system/etc/init.d/10-virtuous-optimize_performance":

echo 0 > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable

One I removed the line, saved it and rebooted, I found that the Smartdimmer was, in fact, disabled at boot-time again (yeah!)...

Go figure!! If anything, you would think that line would *disable* it instead of *enabling* it (in fact I successfully use that exact same command elsewhere) - I enable Smartdimmer in powersave mode (cpu1.sh) and disable it in Balanced (cpu.sh) and Performance (cpu3.sh) modes.

Any ideas what may be causing that line to screw things up??

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Hi Zeus, you did a really great job with version 4 and imho is much better than Zeus rom version 3, THX. Here's some pros&cons for version 4:

PROS

- rom is very light and smooth

- browsing is fast even with stock browser (no need to use browser2ram)

- gaming experience is also great with all the games I've tested (N.O.V.A. 3,MW,Angry Birds and almost all Tegra 3 games)

- stock launcher is very fast, no scroll lag at all and no crashing.

- battery life seems better under normal use and i see a great improvement when in standby

- I/O performance is great and had no lag when downloading stuff at full speed and browsing at the same time ( benchmark results doesn't show big speed increase but real user experience is great)

- i also like that default brightness value is a bit higher now when is set to Manual Brightness

- Tapatalk was crashing a lot with version 3 but didn't had a single crash so far

CONS (no real issues, mostly bug reports)

- No sound when you unlock the lockscreen ( please confirm)

- Sygic GPS Navigation app is crashing every time you open it ( logs are attached)

Also i had some more FCs and ANRs issues but i'm not sure if it's a firmware fault so i need to further investigate.

Note: Boot time is not an issue imo and probably is a bit longer due to the init.d scripts and also i don't think browser2ram is needed with this rom.

With this rom i can finally enjoy this tablet so thank you again Zeus and keep up the good work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gmfeny:
Yea my boot time seems normal. Only a couple seconds longer than my E4GT running cm9. But Dead Space keeps crashing on me. I didnt get a log and this is my first time playing so im not sure if it does this on the stock rom but I play the first level just fine. Then on the second level with the stack of money on the map it crashed three times in a row on me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Hmm - so you lose all sound every time you unlock the lock screen? How do you get sound back? I haven't experienced this issue (if I understand the issue).

I have purchased Sygic, but I haven't installed it since reloading with Zeus 4.0 - I'll give this a shot ASAP and report back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
The LockScreen sound issue it should be easy to reproduce.I don't loose the sound for everything, is just the lock/unlock sound that doesn't work even if it's enabled in Settings. Here are the steps to reproduce:

- Go to Settings / Audio / System and enable Lockscreen Sound

- Short press on "Power" button to lock the device (you should hear a "click" sound)

- Short press on "Power" button again and Slide to unlock the device ( you should hear a "click" sound again)

P. S: Zeus do you think is possible to add "more choices" to the Shutdown Menu so when you long press the POWER button you get more options (reboot, silent, plaine mode) and not only PowerOff the device?
