It's weird, I re install a full firmware from Asus site, then flash cleanrom 2.4, and now my touch panel are outdated:

Touch panel version=3022 should be 3024

My dock version is 0207, is everyone has same version here?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] ingenihero:
So if we are using cleanrom2.3 without clemsyn kernel and TWRP recovery can we simply do the following process to upgrade

1. Download

2. Copy to external or internal memory

3. Open TWRP

4. Wipe cache

5. Wipe dalvik

6. Install 2.4 (without a factory reset)

Is it ok? Is it ok for WW based devices?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
The boot from full off to lock screen is much faster.

My HD widgets pop up instantly on the stock launcher.

Wifi=good.

BT=good.

Smoothyness=same (which was excellent on 2.3)

Stock browser=Great.

All selected apps=Working.

This is just pure CleanROM 2.4

Nothing else flashed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Same thing happened to me after installing the full .18 stock update followed by CR 2.3. I still have the 3022 panel version instead of 2033.

Scott, could it be that somehow the panel firmware update doesn't get included in CR?

I have the newer TF500/TF700 AD01 dock, so my dock firmware version is DOCK-EC21N-0105.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
There are no firmware updates in my ROM. Its purely the operating system.

I encourage everyone to do a full firmware update before starting.

This is what you should see for firmware info...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
That had been my understanding too until couple pages ago somebody reported doing a dirty flash of CR 2.4 and getting BT and WiFi updated to .20 versions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Really? Maybe its something IN the ROM that I am not familiar with.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
It was RFHavens here and here. Maybe he could post his touch panel version too to see if that had also been updated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Edited: The issue is not on Build 2.4!

Nope, its from changing anything in the 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...

If you are the person that showed me the fixed init.d script to fix this can you PM me again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxrdlf95:
It was me I PM'ed you again :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Thanks, I answered.
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
Are you sure of that, Scott?

I haven't noticed any performance or usability changes from playing with DPI in system/build.prop. Have it set at 200 after trying it a few ways so did several edits, and Quadrant gets 6402 (near what it usually gets) and Antutu just got 14,809 which beat my highest previous score by ~100.

I'm still on CR 2.3 and Clemsyn Universal, but about to try 2.4 after backing this install up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] odeccacccp:
Are you just going to implement it in the new version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tyfoxx:
Where do you get the firmware update.?

Please advise
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Depends on how you do the edits.

How are you doing the DPI edits?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
Also wondering. Do we just flash the zip from Asus website? And then cleanrom again?

And speaking to the updated WiFi and Bluetooth, I have the same versions as people here are posting as most recent:

WiFi=7.2.0.62

Btooth =10.33
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Then I guess the binaries get updated. So the only thing lacking is the new bootloader. Which TBH, doesnt make a differnce... But

I always recommend running the latest firmware on the device to match the ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
Navigate to system/ and set to R/W, open build.prop in the text editor, then under #ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES change the value for ro.sf.lcd_density, back out and Save when it asks, then reboot. Don't change permissions or anything else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I don't know whats different but hulu from play is working on clean 2.4 for me. I know we have been through this a couple of times, but I cannot get your version of flash to work properly on my tablet.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
I'm glad we established that, but I'm still unclear as to why buhohitr and I ended up with not up-to-date touch panel versions after flashing a full stock update followed by CR.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
I'm about to try this, by downloading the update from the Asus website, twrping, flashing, rebooting, twrping, wipe cache, dalvik and system, flashing cleanrom. Is this correct? I won't loose root or something terrible?

I'll report back once its done, what firmware versions I'm running. Now if only this super slow internet would goooooooooo!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
FYI - I "dirty" flashed over CleanROM 2.3 and all of my drivers are updated as well (wifi, bt, touchpanel, etc)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
A question regarding the system folder edits disabling all Scotts tweaks; so literally anything we do in there will make this happen? I deleted the stock clock to replace with 4.2 version, and haven't noticed any slow down...
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I started out with dirty flash (2.3 > 2.4) but the 700 woulldn't boot. Probably some app playing up. Wiped data/cache/DC and reflashed 2.4 -- booted up surprisingly quickly, especially for a deodexed ROM. Nice work! Needs a reboot, I guess, to get up to CleanSpeed™.

And as several others have reported earlier: my Wi-Fi/BT firmwares indeed show higher firmware version numbers now (7.2.024 >> 7.2.0.62 and 10.31 >> 10.33, respectively). My touch panel firmware version hasn't changed (ELAN-3024-7053), but that may have been the most recent one already.

@Scott: you can always learn something new. ;)

EDIT: @Scott: I'm going to be more selective with the number of apps I have installed (was over 140), but the first experience (after not having even rebooted a single time): 2.4 is faster than 2.3 -- I do not believe in benchmarks, but I just give my user experience. I find it reallyhard to believe you pulled it off again --suspecting myself of being under the influence of some placebo effect-- but... well... apparently you did. :highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
well, im back, and heres what I found:

After downloading the latest update from the Asus site, I unzipped it, and then from recovery flashed the zip in the zip. Said it was successful, although nothing appeared to happen in the log. Tried to reboot and was warned that there was no OS installed, so flashed cleanrom 2.4, and now im here. Attached is a screen of my firmware versions. As you can see, nothing changed, although I have a feeling that I did something wrong :(

So I hope that I have helped somebody in some small way, but the mystery of the touchpanel continues! dunduh!
[Asus Transformer TF700] effezie:
I remember a discussion on flashing CleanROM with TWRP or CWM and at that time CWM did better getting everything right and the speed difference some said was noticeable. That was many pages back and my assumption is I should be flashing with TWRP and that leads to my question.

I can't seem to get back to Quadrant scores of 5400 balanced and 5800 performance. I'm around 5100 and 5500 on a good day and I was wondering if switching back to TWRP might improve my scores and is it the recommended recovery.

I've installed after wiping data and I've installed by flashing on top and get the same results (CWM). I'm going to flash this time with TWRP so I'll know my result soon and I'd also like to know if it's a preference or a requirement.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] THunDA:
Just updated firmware and then flashed 2.4.. was running 2.3 with clems kernel.. i must say 2.4 with stock kernel is freaking smooth.

Thanks Scott..!!!

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] effezie:
Same thing. Just updated and you just know when something's right. Flashed clemsyn kernel with it this time and threw in the EPM mod for good measure. This thing feels great. Thanks Scott!
[Asus Transformer TF700] mj23kb24:
So is it safe to flash a stock update through TWRP? I remember I did this on the Prime and had some really bad results AKA a paper weight. If I read these posts right then I can do that to get 4.1.2 update then go back into recovery wipe everything then flash CleanRom 2.4 correct? Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, it's safe, but you're going to lose root and custom recovery (cwm or twrp).
[Asus Transformer TF700] mj23kb24:
So to get TWRP back I have to go through fastboot right? Then from there will CleanRom get me root again? If not then I wont take that plunge as I love Sixaxsis controller too much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
That's correct, you could use fastboot or the recovery script from the OP.(fastboot build into the script save you the hassle of typing and reboot manually).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Anyone having luck with reboot to recovery? I'm on TWRP and recovery just does a normal reboot. 2.3 and 2.4 have been the same.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
My observation for CleanRom 2.4

I reflashed stock 20 and still definitely faster than the old .18, but still little bit stutter when scrolling or launching apps. Almost as good as Cleanrom 2.3. Now I flashed Cleanrom 2.4 and it just faster (noticable faster) and smoother (noticable smoother), very snappy. This is just general user experience. Now I flashed Clemsyn Kernel, Clemsyn suggested that if .20 came with a new bootloader then I shouldn't do it, but guest what I do it anyway. The results are fantastic, power saver mode max at 1000, balance mode max at 1500 and performance mode max at 1800 control nicely through Asus settings. Quadrant score about 6276. I changed the dpi from 160 to 200,220,240 using Root explorer and they all working fine. Next I disabled fsync through init.d (permanently disabled), and quadrant went up to 6781. Scrolling is sooo smooth so everything else. I must say again Cleanrom 2.4 is flying smooth, not flying jerky...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I just press the volume down and hold it after tapping recovery.

TWRP shows up when I do this.

Coming from the ground up
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
I rebooted to recovery with no problem. Wiped cache then dalvik, then flashed CR2.4....All seems well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
94R14134TS705011B donation confirmation--

CleanROM v2.4 is even faster and smoother than v2.3!

Flashed clemsyn's universal stock kernel on top. It's like they were meant to go together.

Such a great experience! Absolutely unreal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Just an FYI, EPM is included ;) But it shouldnt hurt to flash it again if you did. Its the exact same files, lol.

What bootloader are you on? if its pre 10.4.x then that will happen. If its 10.x+ then it will work.

Yeah, I noted that .20 seemed smoother. Not great but a notable improvement over last stock .18. Then I applied the magic :highfive:

Good deal!

Glad all you guys enjoy!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
Is there any real reason to update from 2.3 to 2.4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Wowee the whole first page is now also at the end!

Kewl!!!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
Of course! :P

Anyway... Does the newest version provide a significant increase in performance? I can flash this right over 2.3, right? I like doing fresh installs and such.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, noticable smoother, I even crankup the animation back to 1.0 (under developer edit section) to get the full butter smooth feeling. I still force 2gpu rendering to make it snappy and browser 2 ram to complete the game.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:

Could anyone help me please? I am using the stock browser. The xda forum pages are dim. Any other sites are fine. When any xda page loads, at first its for for a milisecond, then it turns dim. How can it be fixed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Most people have been able to without issue.

And yes, its a bit smoother and more refined than prior builds. Credits go to Asus on that one. They did make the initial base a bit smoother. Still not close to CleanROM but they will get there! They got to just keep practicing ;)

I think there is a setting in the settings menu to auto adjust screen for tone? Or maybe I am confusing with Samsung device. I forget. But that is a setting or similiar type setting somewhere ion settings or in browser settings... I think. :silly:

Go to the left bottom part of the xda website.

Change in the little box the appearance to xda2010 and there you go.

Isn't it just a matter of "chmod 755 \system\etc\init.d\tweaksomethingortheotherihaven'tgotmytablethereforfilenames" ? :) I didn't notice this behaviour when i added some tweaks myself actually.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
The screwed up thing is it was doing it for me and some other people.

I dont know why its not doing it for everyone but screw it, if it works then it works.

I just know for a fact it caused me problems.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
I'm not sure if it's CleanROM 2.3 or Clemsyn's kernel, but even after clearing a finished download, it comes back up as finished... again. I keep getting notifications of downloads I've already finished and cleared.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
For my feeling 2.3 was a running a bit smoother. I dont know if this has anything to do with changing from Odex to De-Odex.

Quadrant and Antutu score are significantly lower when using Clemsyns latest universal kernel.

On 2.3 it was 64 something and 14761

On 2.4 it is 5100 and 12 something

Yet again i dont know if this has anything to do with CleanRom or with Clemsyns kernel.

I do know that setting DPI to 160 is way to small for my hot-dog like fingers :silly: (no peeps i'm not that fat i just have large hands)

Also it seems that when pressing on the app-drawer button there is a little bit of lag.

So far my first impressions!

**Question**

Would it be smart to download latest asus update. Flash it and then CleanRom 2.4
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Many people flash over 2.3 and works fine, but I prefer to flash the full version from Asus, do a factory reset then flash 2.4, it's more work but that's the right way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
I will choose this method. Thanks.

Also, when I do a factory reset, am I doing it from TWRP or through the actual ASUS settings?

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
So this would also apply when flashing clemsyns kernel??
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
No, I am talking about while the OS is running.

In recovery its fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RpR:
Yes, anything that touches /system tends to disable the init.d scripts.

I'm currently flashing 2.4, I'll post the correct chmod command to run in terminal to make scripts work again soon, Scott can put it in his sticky then :)

Maybe he can find a way to check for correct permissions on the init.d files at boot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
I plan on using CleanROM 2.4 and Clemsyn's latest kernel together so I'm going to wait until this tweak issue has been resolved to flash the newest versions.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Yeah, I know what to do but am too lazy to do it... Just not enough time in the day.

I can just chmod in the ram disk... But I dont think that many people go mounting system anyways. But I could be wrong :confused:

This has nothing at all to do with the kernel and has existed since CleanROM 1.0.

The only issue that occurs is if system is mounted and you go in and manually manipulate files. Do you do that? Most people dont.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
Well, I was going to go in an disable fsync and mess around with the dpi...

Thanks once again for the rom you made.

Still one thing not working for me.

I tried to play Casteville on facebook (or other flash games) with stock browser, opera, dolphin.

Games dont run after loading :crying:

I'll keep playing flash games on W7.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
Now I'm confused :cyclops: :p

BTW @Scrossler

FYI

just downloaded 2.4 again to edit the build.prop in the zipfile

When un-zipping it gave me an error message that CRC are not correct.

The file misc\flash\app\AdobeFlash.apk is damaged
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Did you check the MD5 sum of the file?

Sounds like a bad download maybe?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
Yes, I know how to go in and change the DPI and enable/disable fsync.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
I also downloaded it yesterday and that file also gave a CRC error.

However i could open the zipfile. I placed the latest Flash (that i had download yesterday) in that folder renamed it to AdobeFlash

Edited lcd density in to 220 in the build.prop and will give it a try later on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
No, I am asking have you done it. Not if you know how. Have you done it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Did you check the MD5 sum of the download?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
No. I have not flashed CM 2.4, Clemsyn's latest kernel and disabled fsync and changed the DPI.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Ok,

Well... The issue is none existent on this build so nothing to worry about.

This build was built with newer tools so its entirely possible that made the difference or... Wait for it... Asus fixed whatever was broken causing to happen on prior builds, lol :confused:

I confirmed multiple times that the init.d script fires as it should after mounting system...

I tested by doing the following (which previously would have caused the problem)

Edited build prop and saved it with just random edits -> No problem!

Deleted files from /system/app/ -> No problem!

I repeated multiple times with mutliple file managers -> No problem!

So this tells me 1 thing... Its not broke like it was in prior builds. Not sure if this is something that was resolved in the .20 update or the new tools that I was using when I rooted it :confused: I really dont know!

But the important thing is... Its not an issue any more.

Carry on as normal!

Sorry for the scare!

-Scott
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
Yes i did MD5 codes are matching
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Thats odd!

I just verified the MD5 sums and they match what is posted to the website.

I then went to a Flash enabled site and it was fine.

Can someone on 2.4 with the default flash installed go to this site and tell me what happens: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Wait, CRC Error?

What program are you using that generated the error?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
Good old Winrar
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Your version

Adn theres your problem! Use 7zip!

So indeed if Flash was truly corrupted on my web site downloads then those results would not occur! Thank you for testing!

Editing /system/etc/init.d/99CleanTWEAKS with ES File Explorer, then rebooting caused it to set permissions to 644. I then change it to 755 and reboot, everything working again!

So, for people who have this problem do the following in terminal:

su
chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/99CleanTWEAKS

I think a lot are messing about with fsync and dpi at the moment, due to the Clemsys kernel. It sets DPI to 160 due to Asus setting in build.prop, but 160 is tiny on this tablet, so most edit it back to 180 - 240(default). I dont know if it's ES File Explorer that does this bug, but the permissions aren't set to 644 before i reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
So, I will be good when flashing the latest ASUS firmware, factory resetting, flashing 2.4, flashing the latest Clemsyn kernel and then finally changing the DPI and disabling fsync?

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Right, that is to be expected...

The problem that I saw before, and a few other people, was that if you even mounted system at all... Just touched and viewed it, it would knock out init.d scripts BUT the perms would be correct! Yes, I know, VERY strange.

But on the same note, what are doing playing with my tweaks?!?! Thats proprietary information! Ahahahaha :p

Yep!

I induced an artificial scare. You will be fine. My bad!
[Asus Transformer TF700] RpR:
And if fsync disable doesn't work (check the file you change, if at reboot it's still "1") then do the permissions fix I just posted, then you'll be fine :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] ZankerH:
Is a factory/data reset necesarry if I'm upgrading from CleanROM 2.3?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
What method? Im curious. I thought fSync had to be disabled in the sql binaries, no?

Nah, should be fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
Ok, thank you. I was just worried because when I changed the DPI before, I had to mount the system through Root Explorer to actually edit any of the system files (buildprop and such). I don't want mounting the SYSTEM to change DPI and disabling fsync to kill my CM 2.4 and Clemsyn's kernel combo.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Nah, its fine. We just tested it. Like I said earlier, I'm honesly not sure what caused it on Prior builds. And not everyone saw the issue. So it was REALLY strange.

But I did see the issue every time. So I dont know....

Also, I have some more info about firmware for you all asking...

The firmware versions are set in the build prop... Its not being read from a specific device, its being read in build prop. Look and you will see! I kid you not!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Does this work with stock kernel or just Clems kernel?

EDIT: Just attached it to Post #3. Its the same file with just the edit added. I don't see a difference but I am on stock kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jodvova:
As I understand this needs to be exposed by a kernel. So it only works on Clems kernel at the moment.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
The fsync stuff need to be enabled in the kernel, so it only works with Clemsyns kernel (the file doesn't even exist in stock firmware)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jodvova:
Btw,

Just installed Clean ROM 2.4 with data2sd mod ClemsynTFUniversal650GPUver7. Everything seems to work fine.

Can't wait for data2sd mod with a new Clemsyn kernel.
