The two painting apps are Drawer Pro and Infinite Painting.They never worked on the Infinity, but they do now, and it must be due to better memory management in this 2.2 ROM. It's great!

The Zeus ROM V3.0? (last one he did) had screaming SQLite scores (RL Benchmark), but I think he had disabled fsync to get that performance. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me, because your ROM is super fast and super smooth. I can't even see how it could be improved...unless benchmarks actually correlate with actual performance in real life applications, what does it matter, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
what does it report in your pc?

Do I need to install browser2ram in this ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tupo05:
Scott,

I was able to download the ROM with the link you PMed me.

Your Da Man. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Good deal!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Yes, that makes sense. I think I was reading out of context. Ok, I am on the same page you are now!

Good deal!

Thank you sir!

Damn, everyone is faster than me.

Did you install Google Search and Google Now when you installed the ROM?

What bad problems do you see in the thread?

Good deal!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chelseablue:
Hmm, maybe I didn't. Is that something I can install over the current setup or do I have to redo and start from wipe?

I saw someone lost there recovery or something? Maybe that was unrelated to the rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Scott, I mentioned this before about Zeus Rom. He had disabled fsync to get the performance bench mark way up and this is a work around the I/O issue with the Infinity. Can you comment on this? is it a good idea to incorporate this mod in your rom making it super, super fast?? Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
That's up to you. You'll have to test it to see what you think. I use Boat Browser, and don't ssee to much of a difference, so I uninstalled browser2ram. I've been flip-flopping between using it and I think it's negligible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fordwolden:
Hence the claim that the benchmark apps that only test sequential read/writes will not be very relevant to actual performance.

When it comes to processor and graphics yes but storage no.

Your ROM will show as "better" than other roms in those benchmarks, but with your ext4 and other filesystem tweaks it will

actually be "MUCH, MUCH better". :) The benchmarks just aren't able to "see" that.

So, thanks, again! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] I_EAT_BABIES:
I just wanted to confirm that I can use TWRP 2.3.1, it says so in this thread but on your site it says something to the effect of 'absolutely have to use official CWM'.

Scott,

After using 2.2 for a couple days, I just want to express my gratitude. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and persistence. You have truly transformed my tablet and many others into what it should have always been. I wish I could give you a donation, but I'm an unemployed college student. I promise though that after I graduate if I can land a good job you will get ten times what I would be able to give you now.

I've been raving about you and your ROM on my Facebook and to my techie friends. I hope you get more exposure for what you've been able to accomplish, because the gains from what you have done are nothing short of incredible.

Stay awesome!

Im sure the ROM did not cause you to loose recovery. Not sure what happened there.

No comments at this time.

Yes, use twrp. I need to fix that on the download page. I fixed it everywhere else except there.

Good deal!

Hahahahhahaha
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
I've now corrected this error to reflect that either is acceptable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] I_EAT_BABIES:
Also, if I want to use inverted Gapps would I just be able to flash the package in TWRP without issue? Which package would you recommend? I always have a problem identifying which packages are just inverted and which ones are modified to work with specific ROMs.

Holey Friggin Moley!!!

Scott,

It's impossible to thank you enough for taking the time to breathe new life into the Infinity!

Mike216 was sooooo right...Asus has the wrong people working for them!

Asus and all of us owe you big time my friend!

I love using my brand new 3 month old TF700T.

YeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
May I petition *against* disabling fsync on CleanROM? The performance gain (0.5%, whereabouts, on my SGS2; more on that later) is questionable compared to the gains Scott has been able to show us here, and because the Hynix storage controller is relatively slow (and intermittently hangs up (slightly)), there is a real risk in disabling immediate forced committing any changes to memory....

...and it is substantially higher than with the welll-engineered SGS2. As said, I have experience with disabling fsync on my SGS2 -- a reliable device -- which, for that specific reason, amounted to a negligible risk and allowed us to squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of it. I sincerely believe there is *a lot* more risk involved in using it on our Transformers, especially because the underlying device-specific issues.

Again, CleanROM is already the fastest stock-based ROM we have, and we have no custom ROMs considered totally reliable and 100% functional (dock keyboard support, for example, has been lacking). In my mind, therefore, CleanROM is the only viable option for me now. Let's also keep it a safe ROM. I see no justifiable reason to hamper device reliability significantly in order to get a 0.5-or-so % "performance gain" (especially compared to the 20% gain Scott has blessed us with!).

fsync is there for a reason.

Last addition: for some, this is not only a "play device" (for me, it mostly is). They need reliability, and speed -- and boy, have they been served in both respects by CleanROM.

Straight on, Scott -- although I'd be hard pressed to believe you can gain much more, I'm curious to see if you can. Your ROM has been great.

Off-topic: I'm going to pack the car to go on a vacation, but I have resolved to follow this closely. Sorry for possibly hijacking your thread, Scott, but I felt I had to issue my thoughts due to some people pressing for the wrong things here. But that's just my retarded $0.02..

Take care all!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Cool!

Sneak the old credit card from the purse routine, huh? I like you!

About fsync.... I know nothing about it yet... Therefore I choose to withold my coimments. Until I test something I cannot tell you what I think. I see Pro's and Con's.

For now I am content with continuing pushing the device to the max potential of the OS to further the user experience withouth hacking any specific features that undemine stability.

CleanROM is rooted in the premise that you can always count on it in a bind. Read through, not only this thread but the 50+ other threads I have created... You will seem CleanROM's reputation lives up to this premise time and time again!

Anyways... You want to see what else can be done? HHHaaaahahaha... Glad you asked! Watch this....

Will factory reset erase all my user data, like files from /storage/sdcard0/Download ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
No, it should not affect anything on the storage card or internal storage.

It's fantastic .....

My TF700 is not the same after using your rom ...

previously with the original JB ROM was not more than a TF100 with 1080 screen ...

Now Is the Tab that I would like to have .. fast as the light speed ... and more ...

Thanx
[Asus Transformer TF700] richajf:
Hearing all the good things about this ROM, I finally feel comfortable voiding my warranty and unlocking tomorrow. I can't wait. :D

As for the Factory Reset from the android settings menu, it WILL format your 'sdcard' (internal storage). I learned this the hard way having been so used to

doing factory resets on my phone all the time via TWRP (recovery factory reset).

Edit: I'm curious... are the transitions when opening applications smoother on this ROM? I've been very disappointed with how jittery/stuttery they are on stock JB.

How to update the ROM from 2.2 to 2.3?

Do i need to wipe all the thing and install it in recovery mode and factory reset all thing?

For Scott: I actually agree--don't disable fsync. My point was that benchmarks aren't everything, actual performance (like memory intensive apps working properly)is much more important. Sorry that I wasn't clear.

Oh yeah, I don't have "android is upgrading" message during the boot anymore.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
Ok with this mod and all the speedincreases i see that you got made me decide to root and unlock.

Reading through everything i feel a little nervous so i got the process right.

So if i got everything right

1. First back down from this bootloader to .30 and ICS again to get root permissions. What is easiest TWRP or CWM?

2. Rooting.

3. Upgrade to latest bootloader and Jellybean.

4. Unlock.

5. Flash Cleanrom 2.3

Is that it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I'm not debating with you, disabled fsync on a normal functional device is a BAD idea. Your SGS2 doesn't have I/O issue, so you shouldn't disable this. However, the tf700 is not the same. disabled fsync is a work around the I/O issue. I believe the I/O went from few hundreds down to around 20. I think it's worth it to check it out and Zeus rom was the best one for ICS rom. Let Scott do his investigation before we all jumping the gun. Thank you Scott in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jodvova:
Here is the guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32825557

In short:

Upgrade to the latest JB, which is 10.4.4.18.

Unlock using ASUS tool.

Install either CWM or TWRP.

Flash CleanROM 2.3 and don't forget to choose wipe data/factory reset in CWM or TWRP when flashing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maverickmarc:
2.3?? I just installed 2.2 last night :\ with 2 forced reboots within a hour. I hope 2.3 doesn't crash as often
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
It only wipes your card if you tell it too.

You dont need to wipe, but you can. Or you can just install it over 2.2.

you have to unlock the device first. the app to do so is on ASUS' site. No ned to go back to ICS.

Either TWRP or CWM is fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
Thanks for the link.

I read it, but i remember reading that for gaining root you have to go back to .30 bootloader, am i wrong here?

Best regards

Mackis

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Ok so i don't have to gain root first by downgrading to .30

Then im off unlocking and following the guide Jodvova posted

Best regards

[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
yes, unlock, then root. No need to downgrade

Do I need to format the system partition before flashing this ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
I would, personally
[Asus Transformer TF700] pirkner:
Had 2.2 - just wiped and installed 2.3 (CWM) - amazing! The tablet is as smooth as it should have been when I unpacked it.

Imho 2.3 is even smoother than 2.2. Runs like a charm now for little more than an hour.

Great and many thanks to Scott!

FYI, from 100% locked full stock JB 4.1.1 unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM 6.0.1.4 in fastboot, DIRTY flashed CleanROM 2.2 (only cleaned Cache and Dalvik) --> picked up ALL my apps and settings, no FC or any glitches and 5,925 score in Performance mode.

The whole procedure from unlocking the bootloader to fully booted CleanROM was within ~15 min.

Hi Scott, your roms are very good and smooth, best choice for tf700 imho.

But i have one question - task panel is laggin on mainscreen and application\widgets menu, but lags immediately go away when i use task panel with running application (no matter which) on the forescreen, animation of task panel becomes 100% smooth. Is it ok or it will be changed? Sorry for my english. Best regards.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Aria807:
Just curious, is there a way to implement a Clear All recent apps button like in CM10 roms? Be nifty to have ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
@Scott - How about making the fsync an option in the Aroma installer? That way, folks that want to disable fsync can and those that don't want to can leave it enabled? It's great to have options! Personally, if I had the option, I would disable fsync. I ran the Zeus ROM when I was on ICS (which disabled fsync) and performance was awesome with it disabled. I never had any issues whatsoever, even though it was disabled (but then again, I didn't have the random reboots that some are seeing either). That's why it would be nice to have the option - that way, the people who are experiencing random reboots could leave fsync enabled since they would be more at risk of data corruption issues if fsync was disabled.

Just my two cents!

FYI - Just upgraded to 2.3 - everything went perfect! MyCloud is working now and no more "Android is upgrading" messages @ reboot.

*GREAT* job, Scott!

Also - to those that are having reboot issues - *make sure* to restore to factory defaults! Even Scott is recommending that you do this. Then, instead of restoring your apps, actually re-install the from scratch.

If you still have random reboots - try running without any memory cards for a while to see if that helps. Yes, this is all a pain in the a$$, but you need to figure out what is causing the reboots as it's not the ROM since most people are *not* seeing random reboots. It's either something with your specific setup/configuration or it's app related, in my opinion...

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I can confirm this - videos worked fine through Play Movies while I was using Scotts stock+rooted ROM (not CleanROM), even though I was unlocked. However, since installing CleanROM, I receive the "the rental period has expired" message, even on "purchased" movies (for example, the Transformer movie that you get for free with the TF700 - it no longer works)...

That's about the last remaining issue I see with this ROM... Scott - any idea what may be causing this? Like I said, it worked fine with your other stock+rooted ROMs...
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Running 2.3. Im not seeing a huge difference on benchmarks, and they may be better in time. My test app is stumbleupon, it randomly loads web pages as you hit stumble button. I check how fast it goes from one page to another and how fast pages load. One of my selections is photos so I test picture loads as well. This app didn't run very well on prime. It was almost unusable on infinity until 2.2. My impression is that its running slightly better today on 2.3. Apps on 2.2 and above all seem to run better. Maybe 2.2 should have been a 3.0 because it's far more than a slight upgrade.

Small changes may be hard to detect, particularly after 2.2. The changes in loading are nice and they give a very professional feel to rom. I've haven't experienced any thing particularly negative about the build.

My personal feelings, at this level of performance, is getting the tablet to it's maximum user experience even though it might not have the fastest benchmarks possible.

A better way to play hulu. Download and install wondershare. Search for movie that's on on hulu. "The big uneasy" will work. I don't remember exactly how I logged into hulu +, but its possible. It shows my queue and under queue I was able to go program and load episode which I can't do with hulu app. You are basically inside hulu network interface and can do what ever you want and still play video though wondershare. Browse search what ever. Save your original search as favorite so you can get back to interface easily. Looks great and seems to work well.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jodvova:
Guys, I have two questions:

1. Has anyone compared TF700 with Nexus 7 after 2.3 ? How is their Quadrant score ?

2. Say I did a wipe/factory reset in CWM and flashed 2.3. Upon boot I've sign-in into my google account and tablet started to restore all my apps/settings and etc. Somewhere in the middle of that I lost my internet connection and got it back only a few hours later.

Now when I turn the tablet on, it doesn't continue to sync with google account.

Is there anyway to force a sync ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I don't think its fair to compare tablets or phones with different screen sizes. First of all note screen is about a fourth of the size of infinity and it has less resolution. It takes a lot of processing power to service infinity screen. While it may be hard to imagine as fast as computers are, moving bits over longer distances, millions of times a second takes a tole on raw speeds tests. It just takes longer to update a 10 in screen with higher resolution than a 5.5 in. Screen.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Since your table is fresh, just wipe/factory reset and re sign into google account, or you could delete the account and re create and sign in.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jodvova:
I did wipe-factory reset then signed into google account, then it started to sync but somewhere in the middle the internet connection had broken, so it remained only half-synced. Now when I have a stable internet access it doesn't want to continue.

So my question how can I force it to sync. I don't want to do wipe-factory reset once again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gyrene2083:
Question

Not sure if it did this when I updated to 2.2, but since Scott said there was a problem with TWRP initially I changed to CWM Touch v6.0.1.4.

I am accustomed to just wiping everything and starting anew, wipe cache, wipe davlick cache, then wipe data/factory reset.

Well when I did this I noticed this error message:

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /sd-ext...

Formatting /sdcard/ . andriod_secure...

Error mounting /sdcard/ . android_secure!

skipping format

Data wipe complete.

Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Slammin:
I updated to 2.3 after using Data2SD. I did not enter my gmail info during the install. I instead went back into recovery, re-did Data2SD and disabled journaling, rebooted back and all my apps and everything were already there, exactly as they were with 2.2.

I guess as a procedure, we probably should manually reformat our microSD card when we want to upgrade to another ROM though I'm not sure if there is any benefit to doing so.
