Same here. Looks EA and Rockstar didn't give a **** on Optimus 4X HD.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
But is the slow motion feeling gone? I cant stand some lag sometimes, but slow mo is annoying
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Winudert:
Bro, Slow-Mo is lag! When FPS drops to under 20-15, you see lag or in other words Slow-Mo.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
yes and no, slow motion feeling is kinda big lag all the time with fps beeing always low, on the other hand i can have some minor lags/freezes like it happen on gta or asphault, occuring only sometimes, making the game totally playable.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] :
On sale in the play store today, 99cents or 73pence.....

tup, just bought it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stefano1996:
I love this game
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rishsibil:
Download Lg Gear Box and set active cores to "1" and max speed to "1500" mhz and see the result!!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Winudert:
Yes, I see low quality graphics, nothing else. I want high quality with quad core Tegra 3.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
^^^^That isn't true. Because its a known fact that this particular game, scales it's graphics levels according to the CPU clock. Meaning the higher the MHz, the better the graphics!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Subhajitdas298:
Latest update is smooth.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
better, but far away from "smooth".
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Today I reflash the phone...

Like always, I downgrade to v10a euro_open, factory reset and upgrade to v10h with LG PC Suite.

After upgrade, ROOT and factory reset again. I uninstalled all I don't want and Frozed all I don't need.

I calibrate the "movement" sensor (whatever...) and I installed NFS MW again. This time the download was of 598MB,

before was 580MB...

I don't know what changed but, the game is fast as I never saw... really insane!

Only in a few moments I experienced some lag but, for a few seconds only, 3/4 sec.

I don't use any mods or cpu's tricks, nothing, pure stock... amazing!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
How about a little video for us? :D

Are you sure you dont have the slow mtion feeling? 60 seconds on the game is like 60 seconds on real life?

For me, the only moment on the game that is lagfree, is when no other racer are on the screen and no roadblocks & police, for anything else, i have the slowmotion feeling wich is a low fps but still smooth gaming. kinda hard to explai, lol.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
I tried but, playing in "On-screen Phone" its not laggy, it's like the Twilight Zone. In normal window is playable but lags, in full screen... Forget it :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
What is on-screen-phone?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
On Screen Phone allow us to see the phone display on the computer. Its a stock app that we have in O4X.

We can also use the phone thru the computer.

You need to download the program from LG site but, its hard to find...

But I'm a nice guy... http://www.4shared.com/file/chY1ZWVC/LGOSP_Setup.html

Thanks mate. Will try it out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Hey guys, I've noticed with every jb rom I've tried, seems am always having issues with it not wanting it to lock and forth so I want others to try this and see if I'm either crazy or this works for others..

Am on Slim Rom first off...

First don't use any apps to enable gps...

GO TO SETTINGS>location services

click only the first box! (PHOTO 2)

Then go to google navigation it will ask to enable location follow the prompt and enable the location this way. (PHOTO 1)

I use to click on all the boxes from photo 2 and then go into navigation and try and wait forever! But then I tried a different appraoch and seems to work for me...Can you guys test this way and see if it works for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
can someone who has gps issues like me...try this exactly as shown...and report to see if it works for you? Am very curoius?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyEffected:
I have U.S. Cellular, but with the N4 being GSM only it looks like I'll have to either go AT&T, or T-Mobile. But, with it being unlocked, can I use it on pre-paid plans, like T-Mobile, Family Mobile, or Straight Talk?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _guzzler_:

Hey everyone!

I have run into a little snag with my Galaxy Note... I just rooted and flashed CWM Touch Recovery to it last night by following the thread listed here. I have a Canadian version of ICS on the Rogers network. So this evening, i decided to try to run a backup within CWM, and I ran into a small problem. As the backup ran, it went through a good majority of the process, then once it got about half way through the "data" portion of the backup, an error popped up telling me there was a problem with the backing up of the data. My question is, is it necessary for that portion to complete for the image to be viable? Is the data portion just my apps? And would the rest of the image still be ok, if i want to use it? Because if the image is still whole, minus the apps, i can live with that. I don't have a problem reinstalling everything.

CWM version is 5.5.0.4 and I am using Rogers stock ICS OTA updated ROM.

***Edit I got a back up done thru the "back up to internal sd card", instead of the "backup" option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
I held out using cwm for longer than most simply because I was used to it and have it on a number of other android devices....After finally making the jump to TWRP, I would highly recommend it.

It does basically the same job with a nice GUI...and it's super fast! Backups and flashing are a breeze.

Give it a try...you can always flash back...but you won't
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jelliottz:
If the backup had an error pop up I would not use that. Delete it and either a) try again or b) flash twrp and make your backup there. You can also give your backup a name with twrp. Quite a nice, understated feature.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ShadNuke:
Ok, thanks guys. I managed to get it to do a backup with the second option in CWM. So once I start playing with things, I can go back if need be.

Kev
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
CWM backup fails if you have more than 4gb of photos, music, video. You possibly reached that limit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ShadNuke:
The pictures and music and such wasn't the issue. I guess it turned out my sd card was just a hair over the needed space availability. Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kingofkings11:
I had the exact same experience if I had known how TWRP worked I would never have even started using CWM
[Asus Transformer TF700] ingenihero:
Hello great people of XDA,

I am a newbie to Android and XDA ecosystem. I am trying to summarize my situation below. Sorry if it is too long.

Goal for using tablet: My main purpose for using tablet is having a mobile device I can use both form my studies and my work. I will take notes via smthng like supernote, open word and excel documents and track my mails. All files will be kept in microsd, I just load apps and movies and music to internal storage.

I won’t use my tablet as a gaming machine. Of course I can play some games like chess or small games but not big ones.All I want is performance and smooth usage. A laggy device while surfing or taking notes makes me crazy.

My tablet is a 15 days old tablet but I want to root it, unlock it and install a custom rom. The device is running Android 4.1.1 (JB) with WW…….10.4.4.18_20121012 firmware. Here is my plan.

Phase 0 : Downgrade it

1.	Download Eee Pad Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Firmware: V9.4.5.30 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.0.3)

2.	Unzip it

3.	Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip

4.	Copy it to microsd card

5.	Insert microsd

6.	Power off

7.	Press power on + volume down

8.	See some small lines at left top

9.	Press (only) volume up in 5 seconds

10.	Hope the machine sees the file in the SD card and downgrade your device

Result : you have a machine with android 4.0.3

Phase 1 : Root it

1.	Mark USB Debugging and Unknown sources

2.	Load the drivers to computer

3.	Connect the device

4.	Run the rootdebugfs

5.	Follow the instructions

6.	Hope to be root

Result : you have a rooted machine with android 4.0.3

Phase 2 : Unlock it

1.	Install GooManagerBeta via GooglePlay

2.	Run GooManagerBeta

3.	Install open recovery script

4.	Machine reboots itself

5.	Power off

6.	Press power on + volume down

7.	See some small lines at left top

8.	Press (only) volume up in 5 seconds

9.	TWRP (I dont know which version is installed via GooManagerBeta) should be opened

10.	Backup your data to your external sd card if necessary

11.	Wipe all data/cache

Result : you have a rooted/unlocked machine with android 4.0.3 with no warranty

Phase 3 : Install custom rom

1.	Copy custom rom and gapps file to microSD

2.	While TWRP is infron of us, choose install

3.	Find your custom rom files

4.	Flash to install

5.	Find your gapps files

6.	Flash to install

7.	Hope to boot again

8.	Hope to get enough performance

Result : you have a rooted/unlocked machine with custom rom with no warranty

Here are my questions

1.	Is my flow correct?

2.	Where is the real risk for hard or soft bricking? (I have no idea what is the difference)

3.	I have not decided yet what to choose clearrom 2.3 or CM10? All I want is performance and smoothness

4.	Does it worth to make all these things? Will I get a real performance and smoothness boost?

Thanks for your help…
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Almost correct. Your phase 2 is missing the actual action of unlocking the tablet. What you're doing in the second phase, is actually installing a custom recovery. Before you can do that, you need to be unlocked.

You need to download the unlocking utility from Asus' website to unlock it. You can do this just before you start phase 2. Besides that, it's almost exactly what I did.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
In my point of view you could forget about Phase 0

The things that you want to do are possible on JB
[Asus Transformer TF700] rikkoko:
I'm worried about this too. I'm about to unlock, but my tab is currently on 4.1. Are you saying that the unlock tool from ASUS will still work with android 4.1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
People have reported it working, yes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
It works without any problem.

I also unlocked when on JB
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I would highly recommend CleanROM 2.3 - it's the fastest, smoothest ROM that I have ever used on the TF700 (and I've tried them all!). Plus, the developer is simply amazing in terms of support, etc. Being that it is a stock-based ROM, you will get to keep some very useful stuff, such as the keyboard dock battery level on the status bar and some useful apps that are only available in stock-based ROM's.

Then again,once you are unlocked, it's very easy to install different ROMs and try them for yourself - that's half of the fun of unlocking - getting to try different ROMs! :)

Good luck and have fun!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ingenihero:
How can I be sure that GooManager is using TWRP not CWM? As I heard CMW is problematic with managers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Once you open GooManager and press the "Install OpenRecoveryScript" button, it will tell you which recovery it will install, before it starts downloading and installing it. It is always TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
AMEN to that :D

I have used both TWRP and CWM and never had any problems with both.

I just like the simplicity of CWM though.

Maybe because thats the one that i encountered using first when i stepped into the wonderful world called ANDROID
[Asus Transformer TF700] RSchlierbeck:
Looking for better understanding

I too could use a better understanding of this. I am about 70% happy with my TF700. About 70% of the time it is fast enough and smooth enough. The other 30 it kind of crawls. This is especially noticeable when trying to navigate Netflix.

What exactly is CleanROM replacing? Do you get to keep all the built in apps? What about upgrading as new versions of Android are released or minor updates come out?

Is there a CleanROM info page or guide that explains it all?

Thanks for the information.

Scott
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
The CleanROM thread can be found in the Development part of the TF700T forum. It explains a lot of it.

You have the option of installing all the stock Asus apps, none of them, or whichever ones you want.

You can always go back to stock, should you wish it, but once you're unlocked you won't receive OTA updates anymore, you'll have to install them manually. The developer will most likely update the ROM as new versions of the stock becomes available, assuming it's a stock-based ROM (CleanROM is stock-based).
[Asus Transformer TF700] ingenihero:
Hi again,

I downgraded to 4.0.3 ICS but rooting tool is working for 20 minutes is that normal? SHould I interrupt the process?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
It shouldn't take that long. Have you followed the on-screen instructions? Maybe you forgot to press a key after the tablet rebooted?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ingenihero:
I have succeed to install CleanRom 2.3 at the end. First impression, there is a performance and stability increase but not a dramatic one. I will continue with trying Clemsyn Kernel. If this does not bring expected perfromance, I will try Data2sd Mod.

Here is my actualized flow.

Phase 0 : Downgrade it

1. Download Eee Pad Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Firmware: V9.4.5.30 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.0.3)

2. Unzip it

3. Format micro SD to FAT32 format (not a quick format) if it is not FAT32 already

4. Copy needed downgrade firmware to microSD without renaming

5. Insert micro SD to tablet

6. Tablet recognizes the downgrade update and ask for continue

7. Continue with the process

8. Tablet reboots

9. Tablet downgrades its OS to 4.0.3

Result : you have a machine with android 4.0.3

Phase 1 : Root it

1. Mark USB Debugging and Unknown sources

2. Load the drivers to computer

3. Connect the device

4. Run the rootdebugfs

5. Follow the instructions

6. It takes too much time to complete the action, but after 20 minutes or a little more I kill the process via CTRL+C and process interestingly continued and rooted my device.

Result : you have a rooted machine with android 4.0.3

Phase 2 : Unlock it

1. Install Asus Offical Unlocker

2. Follow the instructions

3. You have easily unlocked your device.

Result : you have a rooted/unlocked machine with android 4.0.3 with no warranty

Phase 3 : Install Custom Recovery

1. Install GooManager via GooglePlay

2. Run GooManager

3. Give root permisson

4. Install open recovery script

5. Machine reboots itself

6. Power off

7. Press power on + volume down

8. See some small lines at left top

9. Press (only) volume up in 5 seconds

10. TWRP (I dont know which version is installed via GooManagerBeta) should be opened

11. Backup your data to your external sd card if necessary

12. Wipe all data/cache (In TWRP Factory Reset Under Wipe Menu)

Result : you have a rooted/unlocked machine with android 4.0.3 with no warranty and custom recovery installed

Phase 4 : Install custom rom

1. Copy custom rom and gapps file to microSD

2. While TWRP is infron of us, choose install

3. Find your custom rom files

4. Flash to install

5. Find your gapps files

6. Flash to install

7. Hope to boot again

Result : you have a rooted/unlocked machine with android 4.0.3 with no warranty and custom recovery / custom rom installed

That worked for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I think actualized is a very groovy word!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Make sure to cold boot a couple of times after installing CleanROM. That usually helps a bit. Also, try Browser2Ram.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
I thank the OP for this thread as I was also having some questions, even though I don't consider myself an actual newbie. I think this thread will help a lot of people out with an outline process of what to do with the TF700 regarding the root to flashing custom ROM process. I am still left with a few questions that I'm hoping can be answered. [btw, my TF700 is totally stock, no root, locked, on the latest OTA JB release, US version]

1) for the OP, what made you decide to proceed with your Phase 0, rather than going straight to Phase 1?

2) If a person only wanted to root their device, could the simply follow the Phase 1 listed here only? Is there a need to unlock the bootloader if you want to just be Rooted?

3) Does anyone think that there will be a way to go from Rooting to Installing a Custom Recovery, without unlocking the boot loader (similar to the TF101 process)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
this is a great thread, thank you guys! I'm doing all this right now!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
2) No, you can't just follow Phase 1. You can't use the debugfs method to root if you are on JB. You will have to downgrade to ICS (by following Phase 0), installing OTA Rootkeeper, backup the root, temp. unroot and then update to JB again, then re-enable the root using OTA Rootkeeper.

3) Highly unlikely. I don't know if it's impossible or not, but I doubt it'll happen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ingenihero:
It is nice to hear that this thread is helpful. Thank you.

I will try to answer your first and second questions.

1. I have looked at Jelly Bean Rooting processes and they seemed very complex to me. I then looked at RootDebugfs method on Android 4.0.3 and I found it very easy to implement so I decided to go on with downgrading and rooting 4.0.3.

2. As I know ( I also want to remind that I am a newbie :) ) it is not needed to unlock bootloader if you just want to get root permissions. Unfortunately, Phase 1 instructions won't work on Jelly Bean.

Sorry but I have no information about your third question.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
thank you for your answers. after reading things over again, i think im going to stay put for a bit longer. my TF700 doesn't act up like others have been stating and i kinda like that it is totally stock and performing well. i'd like to have Root access, basically for titanium back up, but i guess i can live without that for now. im confident that easier/more efficient root & ability to flash custom roms will be available in the future (hopefully soon). also, im hoping that with the improvements in Android that soon there might not been that much need to do so much to our devices for them to work just how we want.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
heavent seen it yet in the tf700 forums

sent from my cutting board
[Asus Transformer TF700] KaliS-Pugilist:
Another question: is is possible to go straight too unlocking. Without downgrading and rooting the device first? I was reading how the bootloader was working on JB even though the Asus website says the tool is only for ICS roms. I'm thinking of why do Phase 0 and Phase 1 when you will be flashing a custom ROM that's rooted (ie Clean ROM). Is this thought process of starting with Phase 2 correct on stock JB and going to a rooted custom rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Yes, you can skip the steps of downgrading and rooting and go straight to unlocking and flashing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Astegal:
Hello !

As I am also new to asus device but Android as I own a sgs2 I would be pleased to kown if one can root the tabbet without unlocking it ?

When reading this topic I understand that would be possible with android 4.0.3 only but further versions, is that correct ?

Many thanks in advance.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
The tablet can be rooted without unlocking, yes. You will have to downgrade to the .30 update on ICS, and use the debugfs root method posted in the stickies. If you want to go back to JB, and keep the root, you have to install the app OTA Rootkeeper, backup the root, temp. unroot, upgrade to JB and then reactivate the root using OTA Rootkeeper. There are more detailed guides in the other sections of this forum.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
that's correct you only can root when you using ICS version (version .30) once you on JB version (version .16, .18 or .20) you need to UNLOCK first in order to root. If you don't want to unlock you need to downgrade back to ICS (.30) root it, install Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root, then upgrade back to JB, then restore root using OTA root keeper.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Astegal:
Thanks for this fast and very detailed reply. Do you think a rooting way without unlocking under JB will be available within the next weeks or months ?

Envoyé depuis mon ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T avec Tapatalk
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Nope, I don't think so. I don't think any dev even working on this issue since there is a work around and it's very hard to crack it. Like they never crack the locked bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zeddock:
I am still on original 4.0.3, but not sure where to find the .30 version? Under tablet info?

Anyway, I have a few other questions maybe you folks can help with.

BTW, this is an excellent thread. thank you to the OP!

I am still reading the difference between being unlocked and rooted. Still not clear on the differences.

It seems to me that OTA updates are not a big deal if you are rooted and able to flash a new rom, right? So is OTA updates and warranty the only thing affected if you unlock? But if you have root, why would you need to unlock; what would you be missing if you only rooted?

So:

1. if I am on ICS but not sure of version, does that matter for this thread of info? if so, what versions are ok and where is that info found on the tablet?

2. is there a real downside to just allowing the OTA upgrade to JB and then rooting? I would still be able to flash a rooted custom rom, right?

3. Is the warranty really worth keeping in place? (Seems spills, drops, etc, are main problems for tablets and that would not be covered.)

4. Sounds like I can always downgrade, so what is th reason to not go forward with JB then rooting only to get to a cleaner rom?

Lastly, I am much like the OP in that I want smooth and productive, without the bloat but with functionality of some apps that may be included on stock.

Thank you all for a great thread!
