[Asus Transformer TF700] tf201:
I'm not just a noob either. Here's why I think this is software related:

1) The performance is so bad that it precludes just the hardware. Maybe the hardware sucks but there is alot of performance lost somewhere cheap NAND from 2 years ago outperforms SQLite operations by >10x.

2) Performance seems to degrade with time. This is indictive of a wear leveling and writing algorithm which may or may not be able to be adjusted with firmware.

3) SQLite fsync performance appears to be tied to T3 frequency, that suggest there is something with the T3 drivers that could be tweaked vs NAND hardware limitations.

4)...

I'll also mention the OP is right. ASUS could do things with caching data before writing, and writing in chunks the NAND is best with limiting Virtual Ram etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
No misleading here, don't worry :)

You are just describing software workarounds, though. None of which can permanently fix it entirely since it's a hardware limitation.

A proper "fix" would greatly increase I/O performance with no downsides. Browser2ram helps browsing, nothing else. Disabling SQLite fsyncs increases risk of data corruption or data loss at the cost of better overall performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
I agree that they can probably make improvements with these kind of tweaks. The extent of the fix will always be limited by the low spec hardware in the end, though. So, I wouldn't encourage people to expect ginormous strides. For the most part, I expect more of the same with some evolutionary improvements but I doubt they will ever make a quantum leap. I would be angry if they made it worse but I'm an optimist at heart so I at least expect some slow improvement over time. ;)

IMHO, as it stands it is usable and I'm hoping they can take it to "decent" (say the level pepole are seeing in Zeus). But to folks who are banging their heads against this constantly and unsatisfied as a result, I would still say there will be no true fix and you should bail on this device. It's a personal choice.

If you are willing to forgo your warrantly, I guess you could demo one of the custom ROMs. That probably shows you the extent of a software fix. But beware some of those fixes (cached writes) do put data integrity at risk. There is always a trade off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
If I understand the fsync thing correctly it can only cause issues if the device suddenly powers off, correct? While that may be a risk, it's a *very* small risk and well worth the performance improvement, in my opinion... I've used ROMs that disable fsync for quite some time and have never had a single issue...

I tend to go by real-world results instead of "theory"...

Same thing with "browser2ram" - it can only cause an issue if the device suddenly powers off and even then - so you lose some web cache data - so what?? Who cares if you lose your browser cache - it's just a browser cache!

Besides, if your device is powering off suddenly, you have much bigger problems than worrying about your cached web data! :)

I truly agree with the OP. People get so caught up on benchmarks and "what could happen" (even though in practice, it really doesn't)... Truth is, we all just want a better end-user experience - if they can "work around" hardware limitations via software then it makes sense to do that.

Obviously, the hardware isn't going to change, so complaining about that will never help whereas implementing software tweaks to work-around these hardware limitations *does* actually help...

Just my two cents! :)

By the way, I've been *very* happy with the performance of my TF700 since installing the Zeus ROM - another perfect of example of someone using software to get around the hardware limitations - and it works very well! Another example of "real world" results - that's all of the evidence that I need! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Unfortunately random reboots are not simply theory in case of the Infinity, especially if you're doing some memory-aggravating stuff on yours. I'm getting one every few days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
While I agree that random reboots are not simply theory, what does that have to do with what we are talking about here?

However, since you brought it up, I've personally never had a single random reboot on my TF700, which may be yet another example that most of this stuff can be fixed by software (since that does not occur on Zeus ROM)... So that just goes further to illustrate my point. I'm assuming that you are not running Zeus?
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
This is from the Quadrant thread. The rest of the conversation describing what SQLite is and the role it plays in overall IO performance is in that thread. All Zeus' ROM does is tweak the SQLite settings and if you read more in the other thread you'll understand why that plays a relatively minor role in overall IO performance. Bottom line is whether or not someone has memory and/or IO issues is more determined by what they do with their device than the s/w running on it. Which is why some people running stock are perfectly content while others are pulling their hair out.

P.S. - Sorry HoushaSen, the lack of information on what SQLite is and the obsession with Quadrant brought me back in to the discussion.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Wait until you see Zeus on Jelly Been. It's going to be so smooth and snappy and you will never think about I/O issue again!!!!

Hello

i have galaxy gt-i9100g

i tried to install ics on it using odin and failed

my phone bricked and when i plug to pc or charger it shows the phone-!-pc icon

i'm trying to install the right firmware now but when i plug it to the computer it shows that icon for a while then turns off and back to that icon :(

pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasssssee heeeeeeeeelpppp :( :( :( :( :( :(

everytime i try to install the firmware with odin then phone restarts by itself, sometimes at factoryfs.img sometimes earlier but never further progress :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstayxposix:
Well, sounds like you're atleast able to get into download mode; so you're still golden, no reason to really be worried.

By "right firmware" do you mean the version of Android you got your phone with? I'd recommend going completely back to stock via Odin. Just keep trying. :cowboy:

Hello,

thank you for your mod, it looks fantastic, it's running in my phone, but I miss my SystemUI,

Is there any possibility to use my own SystemUI? Maybe taking some file from your APK and including/replacing with mine? Or this mod involves more than copy/paste files? I already change the toggle and battery icons, but nothing special.

I'm interested in tweak my SysteUI, transparent pull down and status bar, etc., but I always fail to de-compile, I tried many Apktools and nothing,

I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: 10/10/12

I finally de-compile my SystemUI,

I took these files from your file and drop them into mine.

- \res\drawable\status_bar_recents_background.xml

- \res\layout\status_bar_no_recent_apps.xml

- \res\layout-land\status_bar_recent_item.xml

- \res\values\strings.xml

- \smali\com\android\systemui\recent\RecentsPanelView.smali

I have this bugs:

- When I have only one recent app, the bg color is half grey, half black

- When I have many recent apps, the bg is black and when I clear one app, the bg turns grey for one second.

I will appreciate any help.

Now I have the following problem...

How do I change the SPL and Radio and get S-off if fastboot displays the following information:

*** LOCKED (00W) ***

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0013 (SAPP50000)

instal flashrec, do a backup of image file, then try to flash cm-recovery-1.4-32A.img. if you will need it i will upload my files here. after, go into recovery mode and flash this one ==> update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed. reboot into fastboot, and in prompt command, type the following commands:

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot reboot-bootloader .

After this operation you will be able to flash any ROM's .

ATTENTON! Put the files on your sdcard .

I've attached the files here, just in case BTW, be very carefull when run RUU. Choose the correct one for your device. And do not forget to install also a recovery for flashing rom's :). use this one
