[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
Not having random reboots, but just had a weird thing happen that I never saw before. All of a sudden,while watching, netflix, I started getting superuser notifications one after the other that all said "shell has been granted Superuser permissions" and it would not stop. Finally rebooted tablet and when I checked the Superuser log it had 164 entries in a row for "shell granted superuser", yet shell isn't listed in the left panel as ever being allowed.

Something weird with this JB update, or one of the tweaks perhaps? Installed ext4 mount and sysctl tweaks after init.d flash.

Weird.

Update:

Was able to find several threads about this happening to others, but so far the only answer someone thought it might be that i have partial root. I checked root with 3 different root checkers from market and all three confirm i have root.

Update2: someone suggested using SuperSU would fix it. I checked Superuser for update and it is current, though i updated anyway. I guess i'll just have to wait and see if I can pin something down if it happens again. Thought i would post here about it though since im using the superuser flash you provided, Craig, though I am sure it is something I did.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KingDavid63:
all i did was the init d tweak and flashed the twrp recovery the the android emulator, i wiped every damn thing too, so i dont understand came from hb 1.2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Yes, I noticed this... a takes a while after a reboot for su permission to be granted to apps... perhaps something in the kernel, but I'm not yet sure....

A logcat might help...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
Updated my post again while you were typing. :)

Apparently some folks have curbed this by using SuperSU instead.

Might have found what happened. This thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31919275

says I recently awoke my Galaxy Nexus (takju) from the lockscreen; inadvertently pressing the key combo [vol-up + vol-down + power] initiating a 'Bug Report' (dumpstate) command

Upon entering the Homescreen I was seeing the infamous 'shell has been granted Superuser permissions' toast ~2 seconds apart which lasted ~2 minutes, subsequently vibrating and opening a new message in Gmail containing 2 files - bugreport-date-time.txt and Screenshot_date-time.png (Sent from BugMailer).

This 'toast' has been reported in various device forums/threads and I thought this may shed some light; whether it was a dumpstate command initiated by an inadvertent key combo (as in my case) or a system/app crash bugreport.

I remember trying to change the volume in the Netflix movie right before this happened so I probably pushed volume up and down at the same time (though I don't think I pushed the power button)

Anyway, not sure how you got it too, Craig, but if it IS caused by a bug report being written, perhaps your testing causes those.

Stock JB rom is terrible, STILL with the ANR messages???? Why the hell did I flash this?

So I did'nt NVflash beforehand :(

Does that means I'm stuck here with no way back to CM10 until Asus releases the new kernel??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Pretty much... Until we get a kernel source, most probably no CM10 or AOSP based ROMs... we might get ROMs other stock based ROMs though.

To be honest, it's running fine on my device... even though I've been using it to test out various mods and tweaks and other stuff... it's basically being stretched to it's limits and yet it performs quite well...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
I must have missed the post where Craig ordered you to flash this free gift he did for us. :rolleyes:

Perhaps something didn't get flashed correctly in your specific situation, or you didn't fully get wiped before the flash, or you are running some funky app because you are the first I've read about who is still having ANR's.

That would make me, if I were the one having problems, consider that perhaps I might be at fault and perhaps I might try to nicely ask for help rather than ***** at the guy who has helped so many of us.

I understand the frustration when everything doesn't go smoothy, but we all do this stuff with the understanding that it is at our own risk, so many of us choose to do things like NVflash to limit the chance that things can go wrong, and if one doesn't take the opportunity to protect themselves when it is easy to do so, then that again is the fault of the individual who chose not to.

I, and I assume many others, are "the hell" GLAD we flashed it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ExodusNirvana:
Searching my post for any blame on Craig or anger directed towards anyone save for maybe Asus...

Nope can't find it...looks like you just wanted to post a pointless reply to my post which was largely me being upset at what I did and not blaming anyone in particular.

Congrats.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
That obviously isn't how it came off to an outside observer, but I am glad to hear that wasn't your intent. Perhaps if you search again with the eye of a reader you might reconsider next time how you word something like that.

Again, you might try re-flashing (after putting the modified TWRP on the tablet) and try wiping the cache and dalvik as well as factory resetting if you didn't do so the first time. Good luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mnlmnv:
It's not terrible, it's a choice. I would recommend to to have NVflash intalled.

The whole process was easy, and work great for, Thanks OP again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] msfguard:
I agree if your gonna flash something this early then complain your nuts, I have no seen a single ANR on JB ( again my copy is tweaked to **** but still.

also it only would of took a few minutes for anyone to setup nvflash before the update it is not hard the guide is simple and even Craig posted up big that he recommended nvflash along with every other Dev
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Actually this is pretty common from what i have seen. Usually a factory reset From settings backup and reset is all you need to do for your prime to start acting right.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
To hell with nvflash (for me). I'll never need it and I always double or triple check before doing anything that can potentially brick my Prime. I don't get how people brick so easily.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
you are the only one with this issue... maybe wipe again and reflash, maybe try HB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
He is not the only one, I caught some of this when I was installing it to get the 201 bootloader on my way back to hb1.2 it actually made me laugh when it happend because I knew I wouldnt be staying but, factory reset fixes it most of the time as far as I know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chpimentelpr:
YEa!!!!! Downloading now! THis will rock my Prime... Must say I love this tablet...:good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sydneybelinda:
I have to say am I shocked - since I flashed this My Prime seems like a new Tablet - Is it just me? But when I run a Passmark performance test the disk Mark comparison is now 8263 - where the normal prime is rated at 3809.... It now has an internal Storage Write speed of 138Mb/s It seems to have fixed the I/O speed issues...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bklm1234:
I too get ANRs and lots of lag on the browser. I followed the OP's instructions exactly, even did Nvflash and modified TWRP. I didn't do dalvik wipe or any other wipes. Will reflashing the rom with dalvik wipe first make the rom run how it's supposed to be, smooth and fast without or with just very few ANRs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
I feel slowdowns occasionally, but they really did a good job with the JB release. Much faster, more fluid and much MUCH snappier! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Asitaka:
Two questions:

Does this rom support a Japanese keyboard dock?

if not :

With TWRP, can I use the recovery to go back to my current rom? (I backed up stock and am using baked black bean -- it doesn't support the Japanese keyboard layout so I've been switching back and forth backing up each time)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Do that and you'll brick it for sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Asitaka:
So, just one question, Does it support the Japanese dock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
I wouldn't know, I don't use docks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
do a factory reset from the settings menu
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
Craig, any chance that one of the mods you will be adding will be the Data2SD mod? It seems to be getting gushing reviews in the Hairybean thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biggem001:
the mod uses kernel changes. since the JB kernel source is not released, then no, the mod cannot be added
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Not exactly, this modification can be done on any unlocked rom, no source required. However this is not something you would incorporate into the rom. It would be nice if the modified blob was something rom makers would drop in an op as an option.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] samuelson:
hey guys.

quick question.

i was getting a few anr on the rom so i did a factory reset from settings and everything is flying now.

do i have to reflash the mods from the first page again or will they still be working?

thanks chef and thanks for any answers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
I don't see a japanese language for the Asus keyboard, so I'm not sure...

Yes, I could do this... I may not have time to test it, but if you could volunteer, I will do it... I assume you have nvFlash enabled...

All the mods included are changes to the system. So a wipe data/factory reset will not undo these changes!

Added a bunch of build.prop tweaks to the OP
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
Yup, I have nvFlash. And sure, I will try to test it out but I may not be the best definitive answer on how it works as I have never tried it yet. :)

Anyone who has tried it on another ROM willing to put there neck in the noose with me? ;)

I was able to to it for the earlier version but this seems a bit more complex.

help????

Help please anyone.

I attempted to flash this ROM using TWRP recovery. Install ran without any error but when I reboot I was getting System UI errors. I attempted to reboot to recovery once more to flash it again thinking that might solve the issue. Now I am stuck at the ASUS logo. Cant go into recovery, cant go into fast boot. :crying:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moe5508:
Awesome! Only thing that am missing now is the 4-mode reboot functionality... :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dragracekid:
i keep getting reboots is this normal its happend 5 times today
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sputnik767:
I would say not normal. I haven't had any reboots or FCs at all on this ROM, but of course my usage may differ from yours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
I got the same and ended up doing a factory reset from Settings->Backup & Restore and now everything is perfect.

Since you don't have the proper TWRP recovery on there it will most likely hang. Try flashing the modded TWRP from fastboot/nvflash that's posted on the 1st page.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Is there anywhere that has step by step instructions for flashing the new recovery blob via fastboot? All I can seem to find is instructions for flashing images via fastboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
From OP:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Thanks, I didn't know if there was more to it. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to fastboot and all that.

I'm trying that right now, but when I paste the command into command prompt I'm not getting any sort of response aside from the normal lines of commands when you type in "fastboot."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
Make sure you have the latest version of the fastboot binary. On Linux, the latest platform-tools is R14. Not sure what it's up to on Windows.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Ok, thanks. I had the binaries in a different folder, so I think that was what was tripping me up. I appreciate the help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dragracekid:
Well it ususlly seems to happen when I have it plugged into the dock ill try and reflash
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Maybe they can have some sort of flashing lights at the top of each unsearched forum that says " if it is sluggish do a factory reset, and if it sods take the card out of the dock".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dragracekid:
Sorry I didnt see that I appologize

Its not your fault I just wish there was an easy way to get the information everywhere.

About Nvflash

question

I had nvflash for all the other versions of the OS can I use the same or is that process different now since I am on JB. Thank you for the work on you put into this to bring it to us. Runs great so far just no recovery option yet.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] csills:
Messed up maybe...

I forgot to flash the superuser when installing the rom...what's the best way to flash it now?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Of course there is a recovery... read the OP for my custom TWRP...

And yes, if you nvFlash enabled, it will still work after the update...

Flash my custom TWRP recovery and then flash the superuser zip...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
@Fireplug & anyone who wants to try it out... a Data2MicroSD & a DataCache2MicroSD modded kernel blob for the new JB ROM...

IMPORTANT: I haven't personally tested these, though the changes are quite straight-forward, but this is not for everyone... I don't recommend using this unless you have nvFlash or until I move it to the OP and mark it as tested... you need a good, fast microSD card to notice the difference and if you use this, never remove the microSD unless you revert back (or your device is completely powered off)

Data2MicroSD - This mod requires you to format your entire microSD as a single EXT4 partition. This mod completely reverses the internal storage and microSD card, so the microSD card acts as the data storage and the internal storage is mounted to /storage/sdcard1 (for now!). /storage/sdcard0 or /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard will be on the microSD as /data/media.

DataCache2MicroSD - This mod requires you to format your entire microSD as a two EXT4 partition. This mod completely reverses the internal storage and microSD card, so the microSD card acts as the data storage and the internal storage is mounted to /storage/sdcard1 (for now!). /storage/sdcard0 or /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard will be on the microSD as /data/media. This mod also moves the cache partition to the microSD card.

Instructions [Data2MicroSD]:

1. Format you microSD card as a single EXT4 partition and insert it into the slot

2. Enter TWRP recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe internal storage

3. Download tf201-jb-boot-data.blob

4. Reboot and enter fastboot mode and flash tf201-jb-boot-data.blob via fastboot

5. Reboot your device.

Instructions [DataCache2MicroSD]:

1. Format you microSD card as a two EXT4 partition [Partition 2 approximately 500MB for cache, Partition 1 the remaining for data] and insert it into the slot

2. Enter TWRP recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe internal storage

3. Download tf201-jb-boot-data_cache.blob

4. Reboot and enter fastboot mode and flash tf201-jb-boot-data_cache.blob via fastboot

5. Reboot your device.

If you experience bootloops after rebooting, go back into the TWRP recovery and via adb, enter the following commands to wipe data with /data/media

umount /data
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data
cd /data
rm -r *
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Craig, that mods looks good but I thought there would be room for a FAT32 partition as well. :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Same here, but I might be able to test a version I made myself based on the original Data2SD thread today which would support both so Iᷰll let know here how that turns out...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Asitaka:
Hey, I installed nvflash, and it worked up to the part where I was supposed to run a command on nvflash, nothing worked there -- could this be due to using windows 8? I figured that if it all goes to ****e, I can try nvflash recovery on a different PC.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Cool beans! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sydneybelinda:
There is no longrer any point in this mod though... With the new jb rom, the i/O speed of the internal memory are phenomenally faster now than the sdcard
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythoc:
Well, wrong! Try with a fast sd and see for yourself :)

Tapatalked!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Without even having tried the data2sd mod, I beg to differ. With a considerably fast SD like the one I've ordered, this mod will blow the nand out of the water.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Eh, no it isn't... Perhaps they worked around some issues but the performance of internal is still pretty bad. (At least in my experience and what I see from benchmarks).

First try with my own modified boot.blob didn't work though but I now remember I formatted my card with an app I used earlier and after reformatting with gparted it did work so have to try that. But can't here...

(On the plus side, I was able to restore the original boot.blob just fine so no biggy... jay for TWRP with adb support).

*Edit*Trying to share the files but xda gives me some token error when trying to upload them...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
No matter how the /system performs, there will always be bothering slowdowns while writing to /data. It seems to do the reading part fine but the writing part seems to be what's slowing it down.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
!!!IT DOES NOT YET WORK FOR ME, BOOT LOOP!!!

USE AT OWN RISK, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROPER ADB ACCESS AND ARE ABLE TO RESTORE TO THE ORIGINAL STATE

I am not responsible for any broken TF201's

For those willing to give it a try:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18434672/blobs.zip

This file contains 2 files:

boot_org.blob: The original boot blob, used to restore to original state

boot_mod.blob: My custom boob blob which should use the microsd as data partition. The microsd should have an ext4 partition as 2nd partition.

Copy these files to the sdcard and issue the following command (from adb from TWRP for example):

dd if=/sdcard/boot_mod.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

or to restore the original blob:

dd if=/sdcard/boot_org.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

prolly also wipe/factory reset

and reboot.

For me it didn't seem to work but I think my ext4 partition is not properly working, can't try to fix it until I'm back home though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dai323:
If only you knew how wrong you truly are :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
I saw earlier with the file that i used for d2sd loccy said xda would not let him post a blob so he made the name of the file .img

Hmmm, as in the blob within the .zip? Worth a try... cheers.

No luck, same error... maybe some firewall thing here.

When I put my device in Fastboot, my pc won't recognize my tablet. Any way to install the drivers or something else to solve this problem? I want to flash TWRP on it..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Why would you need a FAT32 partition?? you will still be able to use /data/media on the microSD as /sdcard... it really makes no sense havinf the additional FAT32 partition...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Why not use the adb way? (Using the dd command)?

Making it accessible in windows would be a reason for me... But yeah, perhaps it's not even that necessary indeed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
With MTP, you don't need it to be FAT32 to access it through Windows... and there are more advantages to my method..which I will explain soon ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Oh yeah! The 64gb card is now in my hands.

So I should format it to one big ext4 partition?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
To be honest I hardly use MTP, mainly just stick it in a cardreader which is the fastest way for me. But it's cool... Think I'll be trying the blob (and with a full ext4 partition) later tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
I personally use MTP all the time because I find it quite handy. The only times I stick my sdcard in a reader, is when I have to format it to another filesystem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
Craig, thanks for the data to SD mod. I'm on the west coast so just waking up. Will take me some time to get going on this. :)

To test this correctly, give me a chance to run a bunch of benchmarks with the stock setup to get some sort of bench line first, then i will install and run them again. I know that wont be a perfect test, but i will also try to give subjective feelings.

Assuming I don't bootloop it... ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
It's 17.07 here :p (or 5.07 pm, if you prefer)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
So here's explaining the most important reasons why I chose to do the Data2MicroSD & DataCache2MicroSD my way...

1. Reversing the mount points rather than creating extra partitions:

- does not involve toying with the internal symlinks to make sure all partitions are easily accessible. So even poorly design apps with hard-coded sdcard locations will not have any issue

- allows for convenient and complete MTP access to both the microSD and internal storage (except they are reversed)

- allows the media scanner access to all storage partitions since it will not see any change in the mount points

2. EXT4 allows files larger than 4GB in size
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
One if you want only Data2MicroSD, two if you want DataCache2MicroSD...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Theshawty:
Oh yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, I will want two partitions then as cache must be there as well. One question, though, is it possible to somehow "disable" the partition which will show up as an external sdcard, where the real internal memory is? I'm sorry, I suck at explaining.

What I mean is.. After installing your mod, the mount points will be reversed, as you said. The mount point which now is known as the external sdcard (in MTP), is it possible to "disable" that so that apps won't try to install stuff on it?
