[Asus Transformer TF700] TheAnarchist1:
I know this may not be much of a helpful post from me, but I just wanted to make it noted, that this 2.3 update has virtually removed all keyboard lag from typing in Office Suite Pro. It has to have been the update, because the application in and of itself has not updated, and yet bluetooth keyboard lag has been reduced to virtually nothing. Not only is the keyboard lag at a minimum, if not gone altogether, but the word processor in the application now scrolls near flawlessly. Thanks Scrosler for making my tablet an academically viable tool, and shame on you ASUS for breaking it to such a point that Scrosler even had to fix it to make it viable to begin with! :laugh:

Which launcher are most people having best experience with on this ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Used Nova Launcher Prime both before and after this ROM.

Haven't had any chrashes or bugs using it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rickymax:
Im using Go launcher and 0 problems

[Asus Transformer TF700] TheAnarchist1:
I use TSF shell and not a single problem, except for a restarting of the shell EVERY TIME I turn on/off bluetooth, and connect/disconnect my keyboard. I suspect this is not a CleanROM Issue though. TSF shell is also fantastic for helping to further sort out and smooth out the notification menu animations, until we receive some way to smooth them out in the default OS
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaxboater:
I do a complete clean wipe and use TB to restore apps.

You have to remember TB will use your main storage by default.

You'll need a micro SD to be able save backups easily.

I have not tried saving under Media.

You need to go to the upper right corner (3 dots) menu & click on Preferences.

4th item down is Backup Settings

There select Backup folder location.

Click the 'DETECT!' box & then the 'Whole device'

This will find your new backup file location.

For the first time I let TB save to main memory and then copied over to my micro SD using a file mgr.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
Thanks for this. I was restoring, but i noticed that all my apps wouldnt restore for some reason. Whatever happened to backups being saved to one zip file? If i have two sets of backups, each file is inside one folder containing all of the files.

I was restoring from the main folder, instead of the one on my memory card.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I've noticed smoother keyboard as well, my keyboard app just updated so I wasn't sure who did what. I think it pops up faster as well. I think these are important post. It helps Scott evaluate his changes at user level.

The reason I like quadrant score is seems to reflect my user experience. An tu tu has a higher rating for prime than infinity, which is not even in the same ballpark as infinity. I owned one. Someone's tweaked it for higher scores and that's all it means. To not reflect a difference between 2.1 and 2.2 just makes me wonder how valid the test are. The other side of the picture is that infinitys CPU scores were very high. By shuffling the scores around you can get better io and a little less CPU, balancing the score while really improving tablet.

in one scoring system a small increase in numeric value might be huge while in another a large value change might not mean that much. It depends on the range the system has chosen to use. And in some sense the importance they put on the individual test.

Just my thoughts

Are there any improvements with Flash on this rom? I'd love to get rid of the lip-synch issues I have on stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JekyllInside:
No problems. Running YouTube HD just great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
Thanks, but I'm thinking about Flash running things like BBC iPlayer - YouTube seems fine on stock for me too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
@Scott - I have a few requests/suggestions for future versions of SmoothROM:

- Option to enable or disable fsync during install

- Option to install "MyLibrary" app in "Bloatware" app menu during installation

- Inclusion of the new Gmail app (includes the ability to pinch-to-zoom) - I have the .apk if you need it.

- Option for "ES File Explorer" for default file manager

- Inclusion of the "Google Calendar" app instead of the Asus-provided calendar app.

Just a few suggestions for possible improvements in future versions!

Thanks again, Scott!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Aria807:
I made a suggestion to Scott a while back regarding the alternate file explorer. The reason is, the ASUS notification bar is built to go with the ASUS stock file manager. If you insert a SD card, it will show a storage inserted notification. There is an open / unmount button associated with that and it doesn't work with other file explorers. Essentially breaking the function unless the stock file explorer is used.

The Google Calendar app, you can install that and disable the stock one. It doesn't really hurt to have both at the same time and having one disabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
2.3 is amazing! Finally, an Android tablet with a great, hi-res screen and IPad-like responsiveness. Fantastic work, thank you very much!

Another satisfied (and paying - 8VY47032X90197023) customer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Understood. The Aroma installer already has a few other alternates, I'm just suggesting yet another option since it's so widely used. Personally, I don't think that the "open/unmount" function is really that important (I know that I have *never* used it myself). Again, just some suggestions - the way I see it, the more options during install, the better!
[Asus Transformer TF700] SupahDave:
Scrosler, idk what the hell you did to make this ROM work so well but you just stopped me from selling my Infinity. Thanks, brohammed
[Asus Transformer TF700] spinaldex:
I've been scanning the thread and a few people mentioned that changing the DPI is not possible in this rom unless you flash a different kernel. Is that true? If so, which is recommended, and is there an instruction thread for it? Flashing a rom is easy, but I don't want to miss any extra steps if there are any required.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
Sure, in the OP it says "Based on Official Asus Jellybean 4.1.1 / US 10.4.4.18 and is ODEX!"

It just isn't clear if you need to have 10.4.4.18, or if you don't the installer will update you. I've been seeing a fair number of posts with problems from .18, so I'm hesitant to do something that will "update" me.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Scott - FYI - here is an update on the "Google Play Movies & TV" issue that some of us were reporting earlier (app reports that the rental period has expired for movies that are/were purchased, such as the Transformers movie that comes with the TF700 for free). I had originally said that I had the same issue and that it had previously worked on your Stock odexed+rooted ROM.

Well, just for the hell of it, I tried loading up the latest version of your Stock odexed+rooted ROM (based on Asus .18 version) and found that the same problem exists with it now. So I then reverted back to completely stock Asus .18 version ROM (un-rooted and all) and found that I *still* had the problem even on stock ROM!

Now, I *know* that it used to work properly on stock (and on your odex+rooted version of stock) before the .18 version, so I'm guessing that either Asus changed something in .18 or or was just a coincidental change on the server end around the same time everyone upgraded to the .18 version.

So, to make a long story short - it does *not* appear to be a problem with CleanROM like we had originally suspected. So, I don't think that there is much that you can do about it since it also happens on stock ROM...

Oh well, I guess I won't be buying/renting movies from Google! Their loss, I guess!

EDIT: If there is anyone here running .18 on an unlocked tablet, can you please see if the Movies+TV app is working correctly? I'm really curious what "broke" this now!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Been using the tablet with CleanROM 2.3 for a couple of hours now, and almost everything that irritated me about the tablet before, has been fixed now. You've done a hell of a job, Scott. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You just need the JB bootloader on your device (for reasons that nobody wanted or could explain to me yet other than "else it won't work"). The kernel and system apps from 10.4.4.18 come with this ROM and overwrite any previous kernel or system apps, so this will upgrade you to 10.4.4.18 + special tweaks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
Ah, ok - thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] starsie:
Scott, this is getting ABSOLUTELY, RIDICULOUSLY smooth and fast. Keyboard works like 300% faster (load time, typing delay, backspace button response). I can't even put it into numbers how much smoother the UI became. The only problem that never went away is the stock browser closing itself when multiple tabs are open (had it since ICS with ANY rom, i guess poor memory/app interaction), but hey, Dolphin saves my ass perfectly. If you continue to go in this direction, my guess is that by version 3.0 we'll literally get a PERFECT TF700 Rom. You rock bro, donation coming your way with 1000 thanks!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
If there were one thing I'd like to be included in the Aroma installer - great idea of using that, btw, Scott :) - it would be Titanium BU

That way, I wouldn't need to activate my infinity every time I factory reset, just to be able to download TBU and then restore everything :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RussellEstridge25:
Has anyone here had there screen pop up a little bit? I'm just curious if it gets worse or if it's no big deal... i almost unlocked to get this ROM, but then noticed it but now I'm not sure what to do... replace it, get a different brand... just leave it, or send it in and deal with asus... I really want this tablet for this ROM!! Just wish the quality was more dependable.

[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
Nice idea. But, it wouldnt the key though would? its a paid app. Im not sure of the limitations on the stand alone app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It basically doesn't allow mass installs or backups. Restoring/Installation also forces a confirmation for each application as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sirus20:
Just give as the free version .anyone who uses it will have his own key if he has bought it.i have been using android 3 years now and that program is a life saver.its worth buying it imho.

Titanium Backup

You could, in the mean time, create a update.zip file of Titanium Backup and just flash it. Read how to do it here.

Hope that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sirus20:
In zeus rom a user had made a mod tha disable scrolling cache.i have used then and scrolling throught lists were super fast. I also read that in jelly bean this is disabled by default is that true or we can benefit from that scott.?
[Asus Transformer TF700] allan1313:
OK, so I was on the fence about unlocking and installing this ROM. But since it was getting such glowing reviews I thought I would give it a shot. And all I can say is WOW. This ROM is flying. I was happy with the Infinity before, but now I am in love. This is the tablet I thought I was getting. Many thanksto you Scott.

PS- That is a pretty slick install.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Or just keep the apk on ext or int SD and side load it after each wipe...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Ok, that looks really good actually!

Hey, thats what I said, lol :highfive:

Honeslty man, I really dont know. I never looked.

I dont know if i can fix it as it mya be one of those asus induced issues. If someone flashed my stock rooted and compared that would tell me a lot.

No thats very usefull info!

My fav is Nova launcher and i have the Prime upgrade. I love it.

Word!

Your thoughts are in line with mine!

iPad like respondive ness, I cant beleive you said that, lol :p

Thanks for the donation man!

See, this is why I think Asus owes me commission. Atleast 5 other people have said that.

What I did was spend HOURS upon HOURS researching the Dalvik Virtual Machine, how it works, and how to modify it.

Seems to have paid off :good:

No, you just need to be on the Jelley bean bootloader. So at one point you need to update to Jelleybean. In post 2 I put al ink to my tutorial on how to do this.

I bet you $100 its the same crap as Hulu!

Thank you sir!

Thank you for you upcoming donation...

But yes, keyboard lag was the numebr 1 irratation to me besides the animation lag and the roation lag and th... Well you get the idea, lol

No, because whenever I do that It causes issues with Paid keys. Long story short... It wont work if you have paid verison.

I'll show you guys my secret to back up and restore apps when I get a moment... Insane busy at work today so if you see lots of typos in my posts you know why.

Screw that dude! You paid $500 for this tablet. If yoru have th emost minute screen issue... Send it in! I woudl be so off the wall mad if my screen was defective.

I dont know what this scrolling cache is. Can someone, give it to me in a nutshell?

I would like to try out this rom, and in the early releases it wasn't possible to install this rom in WW, but now I see it is added. Does this mean I can now use this rom in Dutch language as well? Would be great :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] gyrene2083:
I know this was meant for Scott, but hell yeah send it in if there is an issue. Like he said you spent all that money for it you should get something without any imperfections....
[Asus Transformer TF700] RussellEstridge25:
I appreciate the response but my question still has not been answered.... send it to ASUS or back to amazon for a replacement????

sign here......................................
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
I dont know but its going back to somebody. I mean, Iw oudl go with retialer first if you have that option. Liek I buy all my stuff local so let me have a problem, it goes ruight back to Best Buy.

Im not sure about languages. I just used the build prop so market would recognize the tablet correctly.

I agree 100%
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Well, its a tough choice. Asus has always been VERY good to me with RMA. One time, i bought brand new motherboard for a new i7 build. I spilled pop all over it. It was a top of the line board (10 months ago). Needless to say somethign got fried but lucklyu not the i7 or the memory or the video card...

So I sent it back to Asus playing stupid, they repaired the caps ( I assume) and had it back to me all in one week.

BUT... If amazon wiull send you a new in box that is even better.

Call them both and see what the turn around options are.

BUT BUT BUT... Dont accept a screwed up screen man!
[Asus Transformer TF700] tijsva:
Hmm, I would want to know for sure wether I can choose Dutch language or not. Isn't it always possible to choose any language you want? Don't know what languages the US build has included but with my stock rom I can choose almost any language I want.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Asus heck no...

Get it back to Amazon with great dispatch.

Hopefully yer still under the 30 day return limit on electronics.

...again don't even approach Asus if you can return to Amazon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Agreed! Why return it to Asus and have it "repaired" when you can get a brand new device from Amazon. Besides, I've heard *lots* of bad things about Asus RMA process, especially for tablets. Stay away! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RussellEstridge25:
Ok cool, if I choose to get a replacement is there anyway to backup all my huge downloads I have like Tegra3 games and such and put them on the new one?

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Question about launchers... Say I selected the stock launcher at install - what is the best method to switch launchers later?

Should I re-install over top of what I have and select a different launcher or can I simply install the other launcher and then 'disable' the stock launcher (via the Settings->Apps->Disable method)?

I like to try different launchers - just trying to figure out the best way to do that...

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] snake2332:
Love this ROM! I have never seen such an awesome installer. You rock!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I just installed the stock then freeze it. I install whatever launchers I want to test and then unfreeze if I ever go back to stock. Which I never do. ;) Currently digging Apex.

I think we are starting to go a little off topic. It may be best if you started a "How do I return my Tab to Asus / Amazon and back up all my apps first" thread in General.

I dont mind helping but we are going beyond the intent of this thread.

Thats what I do!

with tablets it is generally ok to make a full backup in recovery on the old unit and then copy it over to the new one and restore.

Final verdict on the 2.3 ROM? You made this into a perfect tablet! I guess you can always add nice additional flashing options and so on, but it's hard to imagine how you could actually make the Infinity experience any better!

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Nope...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Thanks man!

No worries...

Oh... Wait a minute... You guys dont think I am done do you?!?!?!?!

No no no.... I got the OS where it needs to be...

The work on the kernel is next. It can be otimized further and O/C lightly without sacfriscing stability or battery. Want proof? Look at my TF300 Kernel. They even use it in the TF201!

No, this is just end of Stage 2.

Stage 1, get full function ROM with no bugs... Stage 2, tweak it as hard as you can... Stage 3... KERNEL!

There is more to come... Just takes time... And I am lookign to upgrade my phone soon... So.... In time....

[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:

[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Kinda off topic, but are you still developing/updating CleanROM for the Nexus 7? could use some CR love on that tiny tyke.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
I would like to but I took that back to get a TF300 then I took that back to get a TF700.

I would love to have a little N7 again... But money is going towards the Note 2.

Im not rich so the only way I can afford the devices is via donations. IUN this case, as I amassed more donations I kept stepping up, lol

I do kinda miss my N7 though, I cannot lie!

If you would like to donate money to get me an N7 or start a donation request thread for me in the N7 forums I would not be too proud to accept it :highfive:

$250.00 is not a lot to raise. I bet it could be done in less than 24 hours and I could start development again. But... I just cant afford it on my own.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
OMGOMGOMGOMG

Someone just told me they flashed CR 2.3 on the TF201 and it hauls ass (like on the TF700).

Anyone want to test it on a 201 or a 300?

I knew my 300 kernel work son the 700 and the 201.

I am starting to think they are 100% interchangable to a degree!

[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I guess my purpose of bringing Androbench up is not immediately clear to everyone. I just want to reaffirm my belief that the terrible I/O raw speed of the tf700 can be masked/improved by brilliant software engineering, and CleanROM is a perfect example of that belief. When I first bought the tf700, JB was not out yet and AFAIK there were only 3 ways to deal with I/O: change the scheduler (which ASUS has already done that), disable fsync (at the cost of data integrity) and swap internal storage with a better SD storage. Except the scheduler (which brings marginal benefit), the other 2 options require serious trade-offs that not all people are comfortable with. I guess the most obvious answer I found back then was: it was a hardware issue, not much can be done.

However, after seeing all the responses in this thread, I believe Scott has managed to create a much better solution for the tf700, and we are all thankful for that. Furthermore, it also proves that there is room for improvement that ASUS, if they care enough, can fix this whole fiasco with a well-thought-out firmware update.

Looking at Androbench result, I can't help feeling sad for ASUS that they screwed up a chance to make their Transformer line of products truly compelling to the average customers. For us, imagine how much more developers like Scott could have achieved if ASUS had used a decent flash storage like those found in Samsung tablets?

Sorry for this long, unstructured post. I just want to make myself clear this time, and I am looking forward to great development from Scott.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Godswrath:
Weeee! Yes please, someone test this on the 300!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
I really appreciate you clearing that up because you had us scratching our heads.

Yes, I agree with you that the hardware is lacking. And yes, it is Sad that Asus put so much time and effort on the screen (IMHO) that they forgot the memory they used was from 1984, lol :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
You got a 300? Just flash it! Thats what dude did with his 201.

Just make sure you got the JB bootloader for 300. But if you used my CleanROM series on the 300 then you prolly do already.

Also... Its interesting to note; When I was going through the kernel code looking at overclocking I noticed refernces to the 201, 300, (500????), and the 700. Anyone every here of a 500 series?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fordwolden:
Will flash on my TF201 to confirm. Have no doubts it will work as alot of people ran the TF300 JB update until the TF201 update arived.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Pretty sure its good. I dont think that guy woudl lie to me but if you could give me solid run down of how it is... and if its a viable ROM As-Is I would sincerely appreciate it.

Then I can branch out to other forums... Which then leads to me learning more things...

Then I build better ROMS!
