[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Exhilarated:
Exhilarated finally!

Thanks sooo soo much!!!! i was able to get my Sansung Exhilarate finally back to stock rom status!!!!! I searched and scoured for 2 days to get to this link and then I downloaded the stock rom file and saved to my ext sdcard and then flashed my recovery!!! I will tell you I was not expecting anything different than using ODIN, I was extremely surprised when I saw the S come up and not the normal ATT logo. I thought oh boy I went to a Galaxy S rom and it was downgraded but then it came up to my reg screen and I realized I still had everything incliuding ICS, SuSuperuser, all my photos and music files! One word, WOW!!!! Thanks sooo sooo much. I was at my wits end!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] malikfaraj96:
Does this absolutely have to be flashed through cwm or can I use TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
They are both recoveries.. Of course this can be flashed with either TWRP or CWM

Sent from my Provisioned Galaxy S Blaze
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Alfred1516:
It doesnt work it says Weather not aviliable

I put the apk on System/App and set permisions to r-w-r-r with Root browser
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
This is an Exhilarate ICS Stock ROM. Which was used to get a feel for ICS early for our device. There is another stock ROM for the Blaze that is ICS. That one is from the blaze and for the blaze (:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Alfred1516:
Ohh ok i got it but i have a question that will answer all my questions :p

Galaxy Blaze and Galaxy Exhilarate have the same compatibility on both phones and roms?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
Actually yes. I have flashed one of their ROMs and they work. Much like this one. There will be some problems when doing so.. At first this ROM had the the camera go upside down. But it was still usable.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Alfred1516:
Yeah dude i hace this ROM and i already know that problem... It have more problems but it us stable but i feel excluded cuz nobody post nothing for those phones! No mod, just CM ROMs... We need developers working on this phone and doing mod and everything if they can
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
More stock themed roms? Some members in my team are actually doing it for other phones. Will talk to them about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Alfred1516:
Ok sure if they have another modded rom for both phones u message me and thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] soryu:
So this ROM is not the exhilirate ICSrom?

The one you get from KIES?

Just a feel??

running cm9 right now but want to go back to stock ics.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Before official ICS hit the Blaze, it hit the Exhilarate. There were a bunch of folks trying to get a taste for ics so I lended a hand and put this together. It was shortlived though as ICS for the Blaze came out soon after, and so interest in this one faded off.

EDIT: So yes, this is stock Exhilerate ICS :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Alfred1516:
The Blaz3r rom works on Exhilarare?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sgtflav:
stock rom ??????

i have exhiarate (sgh-i577) needing stock rom either gingerbread or ics all others i flash i have errors with i have this one on phone wont do pic messege and wont take pics right and body got a link to it or link to good rom to flash in cwm ???? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
I made a few edits to make this behave better on the Blaze, in particular with contacts and camera. Not sure in pic messaging issues but it would explain the camera ones anyway

Just introducing myself to this side. I was with sprint for bout 14 yrs. Got caught tethering so they terminated my contract (probably deserved it, going through unheard of amounts of data a month). Had the OG Evo 4g. Now with att and just got my One X. Didn't realize there was so much development for this phone already. I usually let a few months past before I fool with my phones but leave it to XDA, I'm in the mood to fool around lol.

When I try to execute them, nothing appears. Sometimes a cmd window but nothing else.

So i execute them in a cmd.

Here is the problem for the toolkit :

"C:\Documents and Settings\***>"C:\Documents and Settings\***\Desktop\Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit.lnk"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychart:
Go on C:\Documents and Settings\***\Local Settings\Application Data\Android\android-sdk\tools\lib and run find_java.exe, the output may help.

java -version to make sure of the java installation on your %PATH%.

You can edit android.bat and change @echo off to @echo on, then u will know exactly where fails.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geo1997:
Up ^^

Third point : I have no problem to run SDK and AVK Manager from the extracted zip : android-sdk_r20.0.3-windows.zip

I could just use it but the problem with the installed SDK seems link with my problem with the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The proper path to Java is not in there. It will be in program files. Depending on if your 64 or 32 bit. Look in them both. If 64 bit then use the Java in that program folder. Find the exe and copy the location of the exe and past it in the system veribles. A search for "Java not found" with the XDA search plugin for your browser in my sig will give you more info if needed.

Well i got my JB udate recently. This is the first thoughts:

1. Slow browser

2. Autodimmer problem is still there

3. fast app drawer

4. Cant feel the butter effect on this tab.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatpandas:
you should probably just consolidate this with the initial JB thread that came out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1914654
[Asus Transformer TF700] Malkaridae:
Auto dimmer can be disable under ASUS settings it should be around at the bottom called smart dimmer, something along that line.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
If you run into problems with apps and performance, I suggest to perform a factory reset. That should clear things up and insure a clean Jelly Bean experience. Also since JB just droped this morning, don't expect it to be smooth. The new OS needs to settle before you can truly see a difference. Just wait at least 24 hours before you praise or complain about your experience. But for the meantime, I applied a cold boot after I noticed a bit of sluggishness. Seems to have fixed that. Ill probably do a factory reset if my apps act up though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xPSYCHOTRONx:
We lose root if we do a factory reset correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] conquereddroiduser:
I didn't. These are the steps I took.

1. Make sure you Install and use SuperSU

2. Install Voodoo OTA root keeper. Make a backup

3. Factory reset

4. Install super SU from market

5. Install vodoo from the market.

6. restore root in voodoo

7. open supersu

Might be an easier way to do it, but that gave me no problems.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xPSYCHOTRONx:
what do i use to make a backup? or do you mean back up he binary file for OTA?
[Asus Transformer TF700] micaman:
I think he means backup meaning "protect root" with Voodoo OTA prior to factory reset.

I did not need to do anything more than that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Aria807:
My root restore worked fine with Superuser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] macaumen:
I can protect root even from factory reset!?!?!?!?
[Asus Transformer TF700] micaman:
Yes
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
Yes!
[Asus Transformer TF700] macaumen:
That's GREAT! I will factory reset mine after work today to have a fresh experience.

I just updated mine when I woke up early this morning lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] maedox:
FYI: I activated the root protection in SuperSU and it didn't work. That was from .26 to .30, and now I'm installing JB. Rooting doesn't quite do it for me anymore anyway. :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] xPSYCHOTRONx:
Ok sorry for nubbish, but if i do a factory reset then don't i lose all the apps i installed? if so then if i have root and protect it all etc with OTA with superSU wont those apps be gone so no more root?

Im unsure i understand how you save root after the factory reset thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] micaman:
Yes, a factory reset will delete your installed app including voodoo ota an supersu but once you reinstall them from the play store voodoo ota will do its thing and you will have root again
[Asus Transformer TF700] monkey10120:
I just am wondering what is the point of the factory reset? Is it because people recommend it after updating go jb?
[Asus Transformer TF700] xPSYCHOTRONx:
I think ive read that if you don't see a difference after the update in speed and whatnot that if you factory reset then its supposed to help.

So if the factory reset wipes the tablet ,were is the binary backup that OTA saved to protect root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
it doesn't wipe everything, but it does wipe the data partition which is where all user installed apps are housed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mike02z:
I did not lose root as I used OTA RootKeeper but the I/O scores are still horrible, Now that official JB is out, I may unlock and try Zeus, I was holding out in hopes that the stock JB would address the I/O issues but no such luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jarvik:
+1 Very disappointed in the I/O performance! Going to wait for a stable Zeus JB rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
I really hope you're not going solely off of benchmark scores. As has been stated many times, the flash storage used in the TF700 and similar devices is simply horrible at random access. It is a hardware problem, and as such, whatever clever programming is employed to make the user experience better is not going to show up in benchmark numbers.

Everyone needs to wait a while after they've updated to JB and see what their devices are like to use at that point. I updated mine earlier today and it's already seeming a hell of a lot zippier.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maedox:
There's no difference what so ever, so I'm afraid you're mistaking. The browser (Stock or Chrome) performance is so appalingly bad I don't feel like using this piece of crap anymore. I'm mainly using my computer again and only use the tablet for games and sometimes Twitter or Facebook. Someone at Asus should burn for this! It's the fourth tablet in a row (Nexus 7 is fifth) with I/O issues. Amateurs!
[Asus Transformer TF700] cmdrdredd:
There is definitely a difference. Maybe you need to stop reading quadrant scores and trying to compare a tablet to a full fledged PC browser experience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SayWhat10:
what exactly was the auto dimmer problem?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There is a huge difference, *especially* in the stock browser! I'm not sure exactly what process you used to get where you are, but just take a look around at the forums, you are definitely in the minority if you think that the stock browser performance is "so appallingly bad"! Something is wrong with *your* setup...
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
I'd say I'm sorry that you aren't having a better experience, but I'm really not. It's not that hard to do a little reading and find out how to get good performance out of your device. Locked or unlocked, rooted or not, the helpful people here on XDA have a solution for almost any problem.

Any problem aside from self deception that is.

Oh wait we have one for that too, go buy an iPad.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Makes one wonder who is the real amateur here, huh? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
The stock browser is even better than Dolphin right now. What an amazing upgrade to the browser. It is smooth. The pinches are not glitch and pages load Ohh so much faster! I'm in love again!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I think this is a case of less is more. My quadrant scores are down 200 points, i think a lot of this is in the 3d and 2d rendering, but many are reporting better video. I see video playback in the 50s fps which is much faster than 24 or 30 fps of a lot of video. With the super fast cpu, a lot faster than htc1 you great video output.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
yeah i switched back to using the stock browser. it's now pretty much on par with how i was expecting it to perform when i bought the tablet.

for anyone still complaining, watch this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gqjCVTXBeM
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaxboater:
Sorry to see this.

Send me the piece of crap (COD), I'll pay you some money and, most important, give the table a good home.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maedox:
It's so nice to see that we're all grown ups having a helpful discussion. I would appreciate it if you would keep your personal attacks to yourself. You don't know me so shut it and get over yourselves. I am no amateur, and I can read just fine. (At least do some research before indirectly calling me an idiot). I kind of lost my temper in that previous post, and it wasn't the brightest one I've written, I'll admit that, but I was at the end of my patience with this tablet at that time. I have tried most tips around here and nothing seems to help very much. I might have gotten a really bad unit though. As you say, there are many positive posts around too.

Now, get this; I have used tens of different Android devices. Mostly phones, mind you, but I have a good reference about how things should be. My One X for example, is brilliant, and miles faster than the TF700T. Another even better reference is my girlfriend's iPad (3rd gen), which is really nice and snappy, smooth, you know... And best of all, it doesn't hang all the time. The problem is just that there is no way in hell I would buy an Apple device. It just wouldn't work for my usage patterns, besides the obvious principle of it.

What I would like all of you to tell me is, does your tablet hang for a few seconds when opening websites? Mine does on almost all websites. (If you'd try www.aftenposten.no and www.theverge.com and get back to me I'd appreciate it.) It's not that my internet connection or the site is slow, it just stalls for a long time and will often show the infamous ANR message. The same thing happens fairly often to lighter apps like Twitter clients too. I haven't even run any benchmarks, but perhaps I should, just to see if my scores are anywhere near the average.

If you're all agreeing that this tablet is not as bad as mine, that's of course good news. Not really for me, but it means it's not a total loss. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get it replaced though. Norwegian shops are kind of difficult that way, when it comes to non-obvious issues like this. I might have to hatch a devious plan. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] clenz:
Try those same sites with java script disabled and see if you get a different result. This may help narrow down your issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I have my TF700T connected to my WiFi connection that my desktop computer is connected to wired (NetGear N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router http://netgear.com/home/products/wirelessrouters/ultimate-performance/WNDR4500.aspx ).

I tried loading www.afternposten.no and it loaded two times faster on my TF700 than it did on my desktop.

I tried loading www.theverge.com and it loaded almost 4 times slower than on my desktop.

Since I'm using he same gateway to get out to the Internet, along with the same ISP, etc. to make the connections, it would be fair to say that it's probably a virtual connection issue, no more, and no less.

I don't have a video setup to film the difference in speed in loading the sites, but take my word on it - the first loaded almost twice as fast on the tablet, but the second loaded almost 4 times longer on ht tablet than on my desktop.

I, too, am not a n00b by any means. I've used only a handful of Android-based devices (no iAnything, for the record) and this is my first tablet. However, I know my connections speeds, I built my desktop computer from scratch, and I have worked in IT for 15 years, mostly Tier II and Tier III desktop support.

FWIW: Computer is homebuilt Core i7 965 EE with 12 GB RAM and 80 GB Intel X25-M SSD for a system drive. It's shockingly fast and runs Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. And yet my tablet was able to load afternposten visibly twice as fast as the desktop.

JB is not nearly as much smoother on this tablet than ICS as I thought it would be but it *has* only been a couple of days so I'm going to wait and see. Perhaps perform a factory reset and see if that makes it noticeable. Perhaps change my wallpaper to a smaller version (reduced in size, as it is currently a 1900 x 1200 full sized image that I am cropping to make use of. Who knows?

Getting sunspiders in the low 800s and insane scores on all other browser based benchmarks. Feels good man.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a possible explanation. Take it for what it's worth. Multithreading was expanded in both JB and the latest version of Chrome. The latter in introducing sandboxing for improved security. Multiple processes (threads) are now running concurrently.

- A UI thread and rendering thread are running at the same time to speed up the return and display of data.

- If javascript’s involved multiple additional threads can be spawned again reducing latency.

- Pages in different tabs are running off of different threads.

If these multiple activities are reading and writing temp files to memory concurrently, it can aggravate the issue Asus’ NAND solution has with background processes. In your example, Chrome could be opening more concurrent threads on the heavier site in an effort to speed up performance. This wouldn’t be picked up by Sunspider since it’s a single threaded website emulator. It would also affect the N7 differently because Asus moved to a different NAND solution. I promised okantomi to stop posting about IO and offer this only to help in your troubleshooting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Good explanation. I performed a very basic (and subjective) test when i loaded both sites. With multiple threads and my decent connection at home, as long as Chrome is approaching performance of my desktop, this is a reasonable explanation.

One thing I forgot to mention was that on my desktop computer I used Firefox Nightly (build 18.0a 20121004) to load the pages, so that, in and of itself, also would have introduced variability in my simple test....
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I agree with you. The tablet should work OUT OF THE BOX with stock software. For the specs and the price, it did not perform as It should, not even average (very poor user experience) and I'm not even talking about defects. I don't think anyone can argue with that!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I have been so very impressed with JB. Everything is smoother and faster and the browser is a joy to use. Launcher, browsing, opening apps, games, music, videos, everything is A++

I have 2 mates with exactly the same observation. ICS was embarrassing on the TF700 but JB is wonderful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
And the biggest benefit of all - no "OpenGL Out Of Memory" errors anymore!! That was an absolute nightmare on ICS - you basically had to reboot every few days (max) or stuff would quit working properly.

For the very first Jelly Bean release for the TF700, I'm *very* happy - it's been a while since I was so impressed with an Asus update.

There are some minor bugs, but nothing major!
[Asus Transformer TF700] maedox:
Exactly, but it seems there are either great variations in the hardware quality, or it's probably that some people are picky and some are not. I'm not sure how the hardware can be so different that one person will hate the UX, and others find it fine and some even impressive. I think the overall feel of JB on the TF700 is insanely bad. Again it might just be me or my tablet. I ran Quadrant today by the way for the first time on the tablet (ref. some other comments that I should stop relying on benchmarks), and I/O score is around 1200, so I guess it's about where it should be. I don't have any reference to what it was on previous software versions though.

Another fairly unrelated note; Did Asus disable pasting into password fields in the stock browser or is that a JB thing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Theverge.com is a terrible website. Even though the content is very good.

But using it is terrible. One reason for the loading problems might be the stupid commenting system which shows every ****ing post under an article regardless if there are 2 comments or 400.
[Asus Transformer TF700] besurfhi:
I had a few issue also after i updated... BUT ... simply did a factory reset and disabled all the bloat ware then a restart to ensure all auto start apps dont start back up also GPS seems to slow down performance more than i would expect also . this worked for me im happy and the tablet is snappy and fasst
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I just test out theverge.com and it's working beautiful with JB STOCK browser. I think the reason being is I did a fresh install and using browse2ram with gpu rendering enable. The site is loaded with a lot of pictures and comments etc.. good site to test your browser. I navigate around the site for a good 15 minute and everything behave ...pretty much normal and fast. The key here is browser2ram helped the browser and forced gpu render prevent stuttering/pause.
