I think I've discovered a hack that improves some of the io memory problems.

Warning: I don't know know all the possible problems this might cause. I'm running it now and it seems fine. I think all you have to do is reverse setting and your back to normal. I am not a android programer.

Doing mass file backups and restore, what ever program I used, would just die after about 15 to 20 apps. Very slow performance at times with tablet in general. Poor stock browser performance. Other read write performance problems. Uploading large files to internet.

I started using a Program Cool Tools to monitor CPU and background app in real time. A process that was always showing up was android.process.media

It took me a while to find out what this was doing, it appears its scanning for media on drives for programs like gallery. It may also be doing this for Google + and the like.

The hack:

I only know how to do this with paid version of rom toolbox pro. Using startup manager go to settings and click show system apps. Locate media storage and select. Click advance freezer. Under services un check media scanner service. Make sure everything else is clicked. Reboot to make sure. Android.process.media should not run.

What I've noticed. Did a titanium backup of 200 apps to SD card without stall. I'm using titanium to backup my apps to Box. Im at over 200 megs and still flying. I never dreamed of doing this before. My stock browser screams. I know you have heard this before. I've gone back several times before and after reboot, its just working better.

I cannot answer any more than what I've said. I think this process, which robs a lot of CPU time, is out of control. Give this a try and let us know. Rom toolbox is worth the purchase on its own. I highly recommend it. The file manager is one of the best. Its app manager is the only one that I know of that will uninstall system apps and bloatware. If this hack does for you what I think its done for me its worth buying just to do this. Maybe some knows another app that will do this. I've looked bit haven't found any.

334 megs and still uploading to box. 1\3 of the way home.

Could anyone point into right direction about configuring the system to work with browser2ram and launcher2ram? I am noob in this, but would like to get the most out of m tablet.y
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
If you are on CleanROM and thus rooted you just need to download the APK for browser2ram install it and reboot. It really flies! Don't know about launcher2ram.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SteveG12543:
I can't find anything on Google about launcher2ram. I'd use it if I could find it though! Got the apk?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Here is the link to download browser2ram.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25286407&postcount=61

There is no such thing as launcer2ram!...that I heard of, where did you find the info about launcer2ram??
[Asus Transformer TF700] elgar:
I must have got confused it with data2sd :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sandmann241:
i tried CNN and there the sync issue is extreme!

@jtrosky: can you try CNN?
[Asus Transformer TF700] elgar:
I have installed browser2ram. The stock browser really flies, much better than any other browser. But I dont understand why in my stock browser the fonts are grey. Does anyone know how to change it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Kind of sounds as though you may have "inverted rendering" enabled for the browser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yes, like I said in my original post, I *do* have sync issues with CNN, but not with browser-based YouTube or NYTimes site. So, it just seems like certain sites for some reason...
[Asus Transformer TF700] allan1313:
I have had that Android.process.media show me some ANR's lately. Does anyone know more about this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Just checking in guys...

Still nothing I feel worthy of changing on the 700.

I did get enough in donations to by a Nexus 7 so I thank all that donated to allow me to buy that device!

I also want to say that because I have a N7 does not mean I am getting rid of the TF700. Its already been asked a couple times and the answer is no. I am keeping the TF700 for now...

[Asus Transformer TF700] eckka:
Now that the clemsyn kernel is running well and contains features which modify dpi, cpu frequency, fsync and governors, would it be possible to add features/switches/toggles for these mods into the ROM? I ask because it's not easy to remember all the files which need to be changed and permissions to be set. Maybe they could be switches in Aroma?

Here's hoping,

FB games

Some says that flashplayer works in stock browser so I try to play Facebook games but they don't work.

They start loading but stop after a while and show a play button (like on music player).

I touch the button, then game restart loading.

Any help ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Scott,

Asus has just posted the complete .20 update files on the TF700 support page. Do you plan to release a new CR version that includes the new update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] monkey10120:
Just flashed this rom and it is night and day compared to stock. I cant believe how fast it is.Thanks for the hard work devs!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nice one Scott. I have an N7 so looking forward to a cleanrom for that. I'm currently using paranoid android on it and recommend you check it out for some extremely cool features

As for CleanRom Infinity - clemsys kernal makes it even better and the only fault i could find is that the browser still lags occasionally. Any chance of seeing if there are any further tweaks and updating us to the new .20 asus update? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Glad you got enough to get a Nexus 7 my friend!

Can't say this enough "I am just elated that you guyz have flipped this tablet around!"

For me I'm sitting in a good place with the Infinity IMO nothing more is needed!

What 17 days is too long for an update?

The developer of CleanROM has a life other than making sure you get updates.

Scott just posted today that he see's no need to update the 700.

Crimeny sakes :mad:
[Asus Transformer TF700] hshah:
Does anyone have the stock kernel packaged in a zip?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
Try browser2ram - no more lag and no anr since I put it on (stock browser, CleanROM, and clemsyn's latest) - with it balanced mode is faster and smoother than performance was. It's truly a revelation. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh SHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!

Is it 4.1.2?????

Your welcome!

Yeah, I just found out about it so... Going to download it after this post. Does anyone have any details on it?

Good deal!

Two weeks? You most be a "Crack" flasher. I only update when needed.

That was a long time ago! Like 4 days, lol!!!! Also released an Nexus 7 ROM just a couple days ago...

I know, I am amped up about this!

Never seen that :( Maybe it will be fixed in .20 update!

I know, some people are getting demanding. I dont like that. I can easily just STOP and only update for myself.

BUt with the new update out... Gonna go play... Wonder if they kanged any of my tweaks?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
So has anyone tried the new update?

Im downloading now... Good thing I charged my battery before I went to sleep!
[Asus Transformer TF700] markbraggs:
Haven't tried it yet, but your enthusiasm is infectious. I saw in the update thread that a lot of people were having some pretty serious issues with the OTA update messing stuff up, whereas others had none.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Thats true of every single device I have ever owned. Even my own ROMS. One guy will have a problem with X and say its ROM related, etc etc... While others will be unable to replicate any issues reported by that guy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Its only 4.1.1 :( Oh well.

Maybe it will improve or add new features.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Hey guys - FYI - I decided to check my Flash version and sure enough, I was 2 versions behind (was using the version that came with CleanROM 2.3, which ends in 115.17)! So, I went to Adobes web site and downloaded the latest version of Flash for Android (115.27) and sure enough, the sync issues on CNN are completely gone now!

So, I'd suggest that you guys verify that you are running the latest version of Flash.

@Scott - can you please incorporate the latest version of Flash into your next release? It seems to solve some audio sync issues.

Here is the URL where you can download Flash for Android:

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Thanks - please let me know if this fixes the audio sync issues for you guys....
[Asus Transformer TF700] DieAbrissbirne:
For example I read something that Asus wanted to fix a bug related to the Tegra 3 GPU that doesn't allow to play Need for Speed Most Wanted for now (Even Play Store marks it as incompatible).

Hope it's working now :) (Waiting for the European Update :fingers-crossed:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:

Tried this - didn't make any significant difference with BBC iPlayer. Thanks for the thought though!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Thanks for doing this but I dont allow mirrors to my ROM to be posted in public. If you would be so kind as to remove it I would appreciate it.

As well, you can certainly PM the link to the person asking. I just dont want public links.

CleanROM 2.3 ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, it seems to have fixed the sync issues with the site I was testing with (CNN), but I'm still having sync issues with some other sites (such as BBC site). Very strange... I'll try testing from my Nexus 7, just to see if it has sync issues as well.

Is Browser2Ram implemented in this new build?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MisterEz:
Scott, your ROM has seriously transformed the Infinity... as a first-time Android user, I was pretty disappointed with my purchase after all the hype this tablet had pre-release. I was in two minds whether to give up on it and sell it on, when I stumbled upon this thread. I'd never flashed a ROM before and was quite apprehensive about it at first, but I'm so glad I did!

I can't wait to see what direction you take us in with the latest update!

My donation to you: 0TP11741HR158094P - thanks for your hard work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] RFHavens:
Registered on your site and donated as well. Like so many others, I had been considering selling but decided to give your rom a go along with the clemsyn kernel has made me happy to keep it. Looking forward to the update (I keep refreshing your page to see the updated download). Thanks again and keep up the fantastic work!

Scott, if I am on version 2.3, do I have to wipe before upgrading to version 2.4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Hope you guys enjoy and it lives up to the standard... I went de-odex this time to see if there is any real difference. Please provide any feedback!

Enjoy!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Probably not. Make a nandroid and then try it. If it doesnt work out well then wipe and re-install.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GaryParr:
Scott, I'm still running stock right now for warranty reasons but if you can squeeze one little change into this next release it will push me to unlock and load your ROM. Is there anything you can do to alter the HDMI output options? Basically, I'm using my pad as a desktop replacement which means I'm hooked up to USB devices and external monitor all day long at work. What SUCKS is that ASUS keeps changing their HDMI options in every patch release. First it was 3D stuff, then it was crop or strech, then it was nothing and now it is back to 3D crap again. WTF? If you could find a way to provide consistent, solid HDMI output options that would freaking rock. Oh, and while I'm at it I'll ask for the world. When HDMI is connected the stupid Android status bar at the bottom of the screen doubles in height. Doesn't make any !@#$@!^% sense unless you are exporting to a TV in cropped mode and want to scale to a standard aspect ratio. For any other purpose it just sucks up valuable screen real estate. Solve that problem (make it optional I suppose) and I'll throw tons and tons of praise, bacon and beer your way.

Anyway, that's my wish. Help me Scott. You're my only hope.

Oh, question for anyone... does changing DPI also change the DPI of the HDMI output?

Thanks!

Well this is working very well. Tried an upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 with only (nandroid backup just in case) wiped dalvic and cache, flashed 2.4, flashed clemsy's kernel, rebooted, edited build.prop dpi setting to 220, rebooted, and happy happy joy joy! Everything is working very well and no issues for any and all apps. nice part was of course not setting up accounts and such. Thanks Scott for an awesome update.

[Asus Transformer TF700] clownberg:
MY asus is bricked

I was running cleanrom 2.3 and clemsyn oc 1.8 datasd kernel.I connected transformer to pc to transfer cleanrom 2.4 and when I rebooted to recovery it died-no power-I already contatced asus for RMA-obviously Im not under warranty-any suggestions ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] crazyboyxx:
Noob question, what is the difference between Odex and De-Odex?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pinn___________:
Not really. I contacted them regarding reboots and they basically told me to get lost as had rooted. Tried arguing the fact that without rooting and custom ROMS (cheers Scott), my tablet would be crashing all the time. I They don't listen to reason and don't seem bothered about building a lasting relationship with customers unfortunately.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unibrow:
I don't know much regarding the laws but I'm pretty sure, and I could be wrong, they don't actually get a free pass on voiding your warranty simply by giving you the disclaimer when you use the unlock tool. They can of course tell you such and you'll have to fight them, and probably get a lawyer involved, but I believe (<keyword right there) that the burden of proof is actually on Asus to prove that whatever you did to your tablet is the cause of it not working anymore and not because of some hardware defect.

tl,dr: I'm pretty much sure you can get it fixed by Asus under warranty if you wanted to get a lawyer involved.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wctaylor79:
Worse case if you are unlocked ASUS should still fix it.. you just might have to pay for it. Not sure your situation and might not help now, but this is why I lined up a third party warranty before I unlocked. Probably day late dollar short now, but just saying.. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Do you have NVFlash access/backup and can you get into the APX mode?

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Aren't we not getting the firmware updates contained in the Asus .20 update if we just dirty flash the ROM without going through installing the stock .20 update first? This one definitely has new versions of BT and WiFi firmware.
[Asus Transformer TF700] clownberg:
no I dont have nvflash access but whats the point the unit is dead-it doesnt power on or go into bootloader-my charging cable was malfunctioning-sometimes it was charging and other times it wasnt-could this have caused the unit to malfunction ? I noticed charging cable was half in when it went dead after I yanked out usb cable from pc ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RFHavens:
What were the firmware versions for wifi and BT with the 10.4.4.18 build? Did not think to write them down. Mine currently are:

GPS V7.9.11

Wi-Fi V7.2.0.62

BT V10.33
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
.18 firmware:

GPS: v7.9.11

Wi-Fi: v7.2.0.24

BT: v10.31

Camera: TF700T-0xB03400

Touch Panel: ELAN-3023-7053

.20 Firmware

GPS: v7.9.11

Wi-Fi: v7.2.0.62

BT: v10.33

Camera: TF700T-0xB03400

Touch Panel: ELAN-3024-7053

So I guess a dirty flash still updates them, thanks for clarifying that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RFHavens:
Thanks Kisakuka

Did a Google search and found a post which may or may not be accurate based on what was for the 10.4.4.18 build going to 10.4.4.20 release.

Wifi was 7.2.0.24 now it is 7.2.0.62

Bluetooth was 10.31 now it is 10.33

If someone finds out something else, please reply letting me/us know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
So.... Does messing with dpi mess with your quadrant scores? I was on 2.3 with clemsyn and dpi set to 200, performance was 4492 (second run was 40xx). Just dirty flashed 2.4 and no clemsyn and in balanced mode got 5018. Is that from having less to run in the 3d graphics? (I'm guessing regular dpi stresses the gpu less than a higher dpi).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Even if you can't get into the bootloader, there's a very good chance you could still boot into APX. Doesn't make a difference now though, since you don't have an NVFlash backup.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Odex files contain pre-optimized code extracted from the system libs and apps, and live in the same directory as the jar or apk files inside /system, so they are part of the ROM. Odex files depend on each other, so the whole system, once odexed, cannot easily be modified.

With a de-odexed ROM, these odex files do not exist, instead the system apps are packaged like normal apps (with embedded classes.dex inside the apk which is the executable code), and on the first startup the system creates the pre-optimized code in the dalvik cache (/data/dalvik-cache).

A de-odexed ROM is easier to modify (because system apps are self-contained), is slower on the first start (because dexopt needs to run and build dalvik-cache), and uses more space in the /data partition (because the code is now duplicated - once inside the apk, and once in dalvik-cache).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Only Asus can fix that.

Haha! Cool!

Cool!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thanks Eric!

Glad it all worked out!

Indeed!

Hell no! Aint no fixing what Asus broke.

What Is Odex And Deodex In Android [Complete Guide]

Thats sad. Real Sad.

My only dealings with Asus before this Tablet(s) were computer motherboard. I never had problem with them. They RMA quick. One time. I spilled 20 oz's of Sprite on a brand new running motherboard. It blew all the Caps. Asus fixed it under warranty!

Needless to say I carefully wiped away all the sprite from the board :angel:

Pretty screwed up for sure!

I dont know.. I always run the full update on my device so I can look for performance differences.

Nope, its from changing anything int he system partition on this device. When you do, it changes some permissions which in turn shut down all my tweaks. Therefore you are basically running stock as soon as you touch anything on /system/.

Someone showed me how to fix it but I deleted the PM because I get do so many...

My advice to you anyone else wanting to change DPI...

1. Dont!

or

2. Do it in the ROM BEFORE you flash it!

As soon as you touch /system/ partition it breaks every thing I did due to permissions. I think this is an Asus dealing! I never in my life seen this happen before!!!!

Heres what you do. Plug it into wall charger for 1 hour. Dont touch it, dont try to turn it on, just let it sit....

If you cant power up after 1 hour you are bricked and it needs to go to Asus.

Correct! There is more info than just but for simplicity sakes we will leave it there.

Well, no, I am not simple, lol :angel:

Odex also runs a smidgen faster because when loading apps the file size is decreased :highfive:

There is more... I could go on... But I am tired..

-Scott
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Ok, so here is the question of the day....

How does 2.4 compare to 2.3???

This is important for me to get feedback.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eckka:
I was running the clemsyn kernel with 2.3, the one that topped out at 1800Mhz with an OC GPU, and now am running pure CleanRom 2.4. To me it looks like there's no need to add the OC kernel. It's now running just as well. The only setting still standing from the previous setup was the Force GPU rendering for 2D. I think this makes a difference to the Browser at least, even if the GPU is no longer OC'd.

Of course I may still experiment but I'm getting tired of manually turning off the DPI and FSYNC settings.

Over all it feels smoother than 2.3.

Thanks again. :good:
