First thing you should do is upgrade TWRP to the latest version, what you are using is 2 versions behind the most current. Check out their thread in development section for the best instructions on updating. Speaking for myself, i always wipe everything, everytime i flash a rom. With TIBU or Rom Toolbox you can back up your apps and data to restore, so why not give yourself a fresh start when installing a rom? Also, it makes devs happy when the first question asked by them - "did you wipe before install?" is answered yes, because then they know any problems should be rom related and not from dirty flashing. Just my 2 cents.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hobs0n:
Yeah I just saw that I was a bit behind :) Updated it to the latest. I hope Data2SD will work now...

IRC?

Hey, everyone. Is there an IRC for TF700T specifically? mostly for the device, either for this ROM, stock, or CM10?

I'm looking for the best place to ask questions like:

1. Has anyone flashed something custom and fully reverted back to stock and "relocked" for the purpose of RMA or support? (i.e. hide the fact that it was ever unlocked. Searched for 'relock' here but didn't find anything. I see people flash stock again, but can the boot loader be relocked)

2. Is "CleanROM" able to address the slowness of the hardware and stock OS, particularly for things like app installation and browsing the web. (Looks like this plus something called data2SD helps?)

3. Is anyone using a super fast microSD to make the TF700T scream? (like with San-disks new class 90 cards, or even class 10?) (looks like answer is yes, with this ROM and Data2SD)

4. Has anyone figured out how to get Bard's Tale to not come to a crawl in certain areas of play? It's supposed to be tegra 3, etc. but I think the resolution just crushes the tablet. particularly in the "spectral light" and "particle" effects.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Well what I did was studied a number of the relevant posts or threads here in the TF700T forum.

Takes time to read. Just about any question can be answered with a moderate search effort.

I just took my first leap into the world of custom ROMs. I am now running CleanROM 2.3 on my TF700T. Thank you, Scott!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
try the q&a forum?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
1) Not possible to relock the device. Even if it were, ASUS records serial when unlocked

2) CR 2.3 in combination with Clemsyn Kernel your device will fly and will be the fastest on the market

3) Youn improve further with this, but imho not necessary if you do 2)

4) No idea
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
Thats a nice score! And I agree! Donate to the Devs!

Damn... I been away for a week and I come back to about a million posts.... (not that its a bad thing!)

Im gonna be honest... I cant catch up. I normally pride myself on personally answering every question in a thread but this went a lot faster than normal, lol.

Sorry guys :crying:

But lets cut to the chase...

Is there any outstanding issue that I need to address that has not been addressed?

I thought I saw someone say something about lib files and Hulu? And they got it working?

Is anything someone figured out about anything I can put in the next revision?

Anything I need to know before the next update...

Which I am planning on for this weekend? Just minor revision and will add clem kernel, update apps, that sort of thing. Nothing major....

You peeps that are running the clemsy kernel, are you noticing any actual speed increase besides the benchmarks?

And another newb question: is it necessary to do a factory reset or is wiping the cache, dalvik cache and data enough in TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dgjl:
Scott, if you are going to add Clemsyn's kernel to the next release then can you attempt to get it to offer at least a balanced mode of 1500 - or else it really sucks the battery?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Actually, we found out a lot more since that post. Basically, while we couldn't solve the actual DRM issues, we were able to at least get Google Movies & TV working in SD (apparently, HD viewing requires DRM keys, which we no longer have since we unlocked). Apparently, *any* custom ROM will have this same issue (not being able to use Movies & TV app in HD)...

To make it so the Movies & TV app will at least play stuff in SD, all that you need to do is to rename "/system/vendor/lib" to "/system/vendor/lib.org" (or just remove it).

Once we renamed that dir, the Movies & TV app would play stuff in SD only... It's better than getting the "The rental period has expired" message, I guess! :)

Thanks. By the way, this issue happened even in stock ROM while un-rooted, so it wasn't even a "CleanROM-specific" issue...

Welcome back, Scott!

Scott, just read about where you were considering going back to the 300 and I am soooooo so happy you're staying!!!! I was really stoked to see you developing for the Infinity!!!

Have you looked into using a sd card as internal storage an internal storage being seen as sd card? If you could do that I'd go buy a 64gb SanDisk Ultra card today(32gb SanDisk currently installed)!!

I briefly considered swapping my Infinity for a Note 10.1, until I smartened back up, lol. I did read a little in that section though, and here is the thread on that.

The option is grayed out, no uninstall either. Dev may have taken out stock launcher? i have never seen the option to pick a launcher on this build.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scott:
What is this Pimp My ROM you keep talking about? Link?

Yeah, I thought about that too actually. But do we know for a fact it would help with the I/O bottle neck?

I also had to take a step back and realize... Asus didint get the TF300 perfrect on the first try with JB. After they reelased the frist update they released a second update and that is where we saw some nice gains in fluidity. I can only hope they do the same for the 700 because... Yeah... I wouldnt have been happy going back to the 700.

Has anyone gone straight from .26 bootloader to this successfully
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
ASUS deletes the DRM keys from the tablet when you unlock it. As far as I know there is no way of restoring them. I ran into the same problem and Hulu won't work without the keys.

[Asus Transformer TF700] stanglifemike:
I assume you meant "I wouldn't have been happy going back to the 300". I really hope the next release from Asus will improve this tablet greatly. I expect that they'll get it straight because I think they are excellent with the development/commitment to the community!! I think they build awesome tablets and would outsell Samsung if they advertised as much as Samsung, or even half as much!!

Anyways, even if there is no I/O improvement, I still want this!! Just having the extra storage space alone is huge to me!! I was gonna buy the 64gb Infinity because I keep my Prime close to full(well I DID, it's now my girlfriends). Best Buy didn't have the 64gb at the time and I really wanted to buy from them(love their no interest financing and it makes exchanges a breeze!!) and I didn't want to wait even a day to receive it. Let us know what you think of this mod, but just whenever you get the spare time man. I'd never try an rush any dev, and especially not you!!

Same battery problem here. A more conservative balanced mode would also help folks with less tolerant Tegra 3 silicon, and may increase tablet lifetime on the long run.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
As I just posted on Clemsyn's thread, with the interactive governor, I'm getting just about all the cpu states. Batterylife is quite good, certainly hasn't been negatively affected. Have 90% with 3.5 hours of on time...much of it spent doing benchmark tests and system maintenance.

[Asus Transformer TF700] chronoquestion:
I can't help but wonder if it is possible to get the DRM files from a stock locked and rooted tf700. But I forget if it is even possible to root without ulocking first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I could be wrong, but I believe that the DRM stuff is somehow tied to the device ID - so it's not as simple as just using the DRM files from the stock ROM. I think the DRM process contacts google to confirm the device ID, etc. Like I said, I may be wrong though...
[Asus Transformer TF700] noobwow:
it will be good to overclock the GPU to around 600Mhz to solve the sluggish scolling in FireFox and Chrome while the CPU speed can remain the same or lower the clock from 1.6Ghz to 1.3Ghz at Balance Mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chronoquestion:
That might be true, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is, but this same problem is fixed on the lte gnex by installing the stock rom. Also the nexus developers website lists DRM binaries for several devices https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers This tells me that if we could get a copy of the necessary DRM files we could stand a chance of fixing this problem. I'm also pretty sure that if we fixed this DRM problem both Google Movies and Hulu would work simultaneously.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Well, it would be easy enough to try, I guess! And to answer your question, you do *not* need to be unlocked to be rooted.

So, we just need someone with a rooted, but locked TF700 to contribute the DRM files now. Any volunteers?? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Basically, we just need a .zip of these two directories (and subdirectories):

/system/lib/drm

/system/vendor/lib

Probably the easiest way would be to copy the directories to your PC and .zip them up with winzip or something... Do you know how to do that?

Thanks for the assistance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
About half of that was screen on-primarily running benchmarks and browsing (reading, posting on xda with stock browser), a few other activities. I mostly have really good battery life and since the cpu is not running at 1800 all the time, is not affecting much.

Someone else asked about governors. It seems like interactive is the default. If you use a cpu app (CPUMaster, SetCPU, etc...) you can set max and min cpu speeds, choose a governor and set profiles for different situations (low battery, overheating, charging, screen-off, etc.) You can often also tweak voltages and also choose an i/o scheduler-depends on the app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GitAlongLilDoggies:
I don't see the 1st directory, /system/lib/drm.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
You can either use dropbox or some similar service - or you can just email it to me directly (jtrosky@gmail.com) and I'll post it somewhere.

Thanks for your help - we appreciate it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Why don't you simply extract these files from the official ROM download?

I think there is some DRM-related data on /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 (which gets erased when unlocking), but that data may be dynamic or device-dependent.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Well, actually, I have tried that - I've even tried reverting back to 100% stock (un-rooted and all) and still had the DRM issues. However, the one user here was wondering if maybe those files (in the DRM directory) got changed when you unlock the device, so we figured it's worth a shot to try them taken from an unlocked device.

I'm with you though - I think that these files will be exactly the same - I think they are just code and libraries. Like I said, I think that the DRM is actually based on your device ID (otherwise, it would be way too easy to work around). But, who knows...
[Asus Transformer TF700] chronoquestion:
We know that whatever files are being erased when the tf700 is unlocked don't exist in the official downloadable ROMs on the ASUS site, because reverting to stock does not fix the DRM issue. (The necessary files might exist in the zip for all I know but they are certainly not installed) Also we suspect the necessary files might be device-dependent, but we don't really know that for sure. Certainly for other devices like the original transformer prime these filse don't appear to be device-dependent. Several of the ROM threads in the transformer prime section mention having working DRM files included.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GitAlongLilDoggies:
I've sent the lib zip to your gmail.

I've never used either hulu or google's movie services. Do you think that's why I didn't have the first directory?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Right, the content of /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 is not in the downloadable ROM. Also not the content of /sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid and /data/device_addr - which are all referenced in libdrmwmvplugin.so.

No, they are really not in there. But it's not the libraries you are after.

I would not expect any device-dependent content on the /system partition at all, because it is read-only and only ever written to by the recovery (in a locked device). And I also suspect that the keys are in mmcblk0p6 and device-dependent, see above. I can at least confirm from my own research that mmcblk0p6 gets erased by the unlocker.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jpin321:
So are there any hacks that im missing to fix the auto brightness? I don't see it mentioned here. Every time i turn it on it eventually drops to the lowest setting this has been the case on stock and clean rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yes, you can actually "tune" the auto-brightness by editing the values in /system/etc/config/brightness/brightness_config_04.xml. There are values for IPS and IPS+ in that file. After you modify the brightness levels, you'll need to reboot to make them take effect. Make sure the permissions on the file don't change either or you will have problems booting (I know, I've done it already! :) ). Basically, I just increased the first few "levels" and it works perfectly now...

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

Thanks - just tried using your files and as we expected, it gets us back to the "rental period has expired" message.

I've officially given up on this - we can play the videos in SD at least (if we rename/remove the /system/vendor/lib directory). I think that's the best we're going to get unless someone hacks the app itself... Screw google if they don't want to take our money! :) There are plenty of (better) alternatives out there...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Sure this is how I have it set (I only tuned the Super IPS+ off settings since I don't use IPS+):

<array name="autobrightness_SuperIpsOff">

<value>20</value>

<value>25</value>

<value>35</value>

<value>45</value>

<value>45</value>

<value>50</value>

<value>50</value>

<value>66</value>

<value>70</value>

<value>73</value>

<value>80</value>

<value>108</value>

<value>133</value>

craigacgomez seems to be making several unofficial roms for AOKP, CM10, and Black Bean. However, he admits in each thread that it is untested so I can't verify it actually works. Also, after some additional looking around the files may have come from an official ASUS update that fixed Google Play back in February v9.4.2.13. If this is the case there may be nothing that can be done for us unless ASUS has a similar update for the tf700.

Yeah, from looking around that thread, it sounds like users of that ROM were also having DRM issues. Keep in mind that this problem did not exist in ICS (9.x.x.x) - so I think you are correct that nothing can be done for us (at least yet). Google apparently tightened up their DRM in Jelly Bean.
