Welcome back!

Make sure to read my thorough review a few pages back when you get the chance or will PM it to you if you prefer ;)

Maybe worth mentioning when playing NFS Most Wanted:

- stock ROM: lagging

- CROMI with clemsyn 13-18: lagging

- CROMI, but now back to stock kernel, but WITH the previously mentioned seeder apk: plays perfectly :)

So now I can play the game on either normal and performance mode.

Running 1.0.46 of the game. just got a minor hickup during a race, but it's finally playable now
[Asus Transformer TF700] lovey08:
Hi I don't know if this is a big issue or not but I've been using CleanROM since yesterday and had drained the battery I just turned it in now and noticed the ASUS Weather widget is blank but it shows its still there where I left it and when I remove it and out a new one on it it just stays where it says not available or something, I did a reboot and same thing, anybody had this issue too?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The Asus weather widget does not play nicely with other launchers other than the stock launcher. This is because presumaby designed by Asus to only work proprly with that launcher. So if you like it that much your only choice is to refash the rom and choose the stock launcher.

Thank for the review (where are you going to publish it?) It is fair enough :) The new speedy randomiser patch soounds interesting and seems to indicate it has fixed some of the lagging in games so I will be downloading to test how it does to add it to the next version :)

Are you using a modded google play store? That is the only thing I can think of. What rom did you come from? Have you already upgraded to the stock Asus Jelly Bean base? Preferably the latest version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sirus20:
I used stock kernel for a couple of days and to tell you the truth battery seems the same to me like using 1.5 1.8 kernel. 5 hours max. Maybe if tab is used with the wifi closed maybe stock is better. Ymmv. Back to Clemsyn for me
[Asus Transformer TF700] Captpt:
Honestly the Asus weather widget hasn't had a problem with my tablet running CleanROM with Apex launcher and been running this combo for days..

Also strange some are having issues running games such as NFS Most Wanted on stock or Clemsyn's kernels, again mine runs fine on both just runs better with Clemsyn 1.5-1.8..

One thing I can say is this tablet has improved speed/lag wise bigtime since going from stock to CleanROM... That said,a co-worker asked me which tablet he should get and honestly I couldn't say the TF700 seeing it would be and stay totally stock for him (he would never be able to unlock/root/install custom ROMs) and there's no way I'm going to do it for him voiding his warranty and then having to upgrade his ROM when a new version is released, he's not very tech savvy to say the least lol... then again I found my old nexus 7 quite laggy, I just told him go to Best Buy and play with them all and see which seems right for him..
[Asus Transformer TF700] scaremy:
sounds like your fiend is better suited using an IOS device :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] Captpt:
I know but just can't bring myself to say it lol... I always said ios= smart devices for blind sheep dummies.. ;)

He's a android phone user so luckily that not the way he wants to go..
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I've also had the weather widget work fine with apex. Then after some days something triggers it to disappear. I have found that it only works reliably with the stock launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bloodylipp:
wish there was a way to really see how the seeder apk is working, i understand how it works and why, it just seems all to easy of a fix, that only few have seemed to find untill now.

i have also installed it and have no lag on anything anymore, most games i dont even put perfomance mode on either, only Vice City.

curious of your thoughts and results about it sbdags!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well I have read all the pros and cons - and don't really understand either! :D

Anyway I have it installed so need to do more testing but if it reduces lag then it does something. In which case it will be added to the installer as an option! ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The apk is uninteresting (you can easily replace it with an init script), the rngd daemon is the interesting part - and it has open source code (+ the patch to feed the rng pseudo-random numbers instead of real entropy) so you can see all details of how it works.

As stated somewhere in the thread (before all the clueless newbies started posting there), you can see the number of available random bits here:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

If that number reaches 0, lag occurs, which can be worked around by the seeder hack. If it always stays higher, then no app will block on waiting for random numbers, and adding pseudorandom bits will not help at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] killerdan56:
didnt u read the xda developers front page like yesterday or day before saying it doesnt really do anything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Seeder Entropy Generator Patch

Details are Here but this supposedly helps reduce lag in games.

Well the jury is still out on this patch but the flashable zips from the post above don't actually do anything on the Infinity :laugh:

Therefore I have prepared 2 zips:

1. Flashes the files to make the patch work

2. Undoes the change

Remember to wipe dalvik and cache after flashing.

Let me know if there are any positive results please.

That may be so but some people say it does something so I am offering it up for testing. You can make your own minds up then.

Many thanks to flyhighx for the generous donation! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I have been using the "seeder" app for the past couple of days and it might be the placebo effect but, it does seem to make everything a little snappier.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Just curious - did you flash it via the .zips that @sdbags said do nothing on the TF700 - or the ones that he re-packaged? If you used the original .zips, that would definitely indicate that it is a placebo effect! ;)

I had installed it "manually" and I saw no difference - it fact it seemed to cause some random small stutters, if anything!

I've since un-installed it since I read that it constantly wakes up your device up *every second* to do it's thing, which can't be good for battery! It is hard to ignore all of the folks that say it makes a difference though. I don't play enough of these games to know either way (I'm more into the basic 2-d style games like pinball and and such - you know, the games for us old people!). :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] timberwolf671:
Question, what is the mms.apk in the rom for? I do not see an icon for it, how do you use it and same for the phone app??????
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I installed the .apk but I have not noticed any of the effects you mentioned.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Blazeburna:
why is my dock not charging my tablet

For some reason my dock is not charging the tablet after i flashed this rom, anyone else have this problem?

Edit: After some searching i found that the dock supposedly doesn't charge the tablet until the tablet drops below a certain percent. I'm currently sitting at 75% battery on the tablet so I will report back once it starts charging to confirm.

Edit 2: Charging confirmed on my tablet once it drops below 70%, the dock will then charge the tablet to about 85% and then stop charging until the tablet drops below 70% again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timberwolf671:
Not here, no problem. Are u charging with a/c or usb? And is your tablet seated all the way in the dock. What is you see or for that matter not see?
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
You're absolutely right. The keyboard waits until the tablet drops below a certain percentage and then will begin the charging process. I believe this is to prevent a constant trickle feed from the keyboard which would likely lower the keyboard battery's lifespan. However, if your keyboard is plugged in, the tablet will charge continuously.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timberwolf671:
Thanks good info to know
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It will start charging when you drop to 69% and the Tablet is not turned on (I believe)

Sorry I just checked and it is phonesky.apk that is part of google play not phone.apk

I have no idea why google included them - maybe for contacts and other apps they need to be present for it to function correctly? Maybe they are for the 3G versions - our TF700 Rom is essentially the same one included in the TF300 both T and G variants. ?? Who knows? If someone wants to try removing them to see if anything breaks, please go ahead :)

BTW build progress on 3.1 has begun :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Captpt:
NICE.. you da man :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mbegel:
There is supposed to be a parameter in phone.apk that when enabled would allow the tablet to function as a VOIP phone using the native app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Call me an OCD ridden loon but this image drives me friggen crazy. I could never have an uneven dock, I think I'd chuck the bloody thing out the window.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That is some serious ocd! Interestingly I have gone back to 9 icon rows with the dock in the middle again :D

Edit just checked and actually I don't! Will your ocd infect me? Here is my current home screen:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just noticed this. I will update the original post now :good:

Edit: I can't get the link to work. I will reup the file later myself :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
is this the stock launcher??
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No looks like a themed Apex or Nova launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
Looks nice especially with the appdrawer icon in the middle instead offcentre
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Nova Prime..... Yeah am kinda anal bout that. It feels odd if app drawer is off center....
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm having a problem updating the latest version of chrome to the system/app folder as it looks like google does a check when it first runs to see if it is the right place in the latest verson. As such version 3.1 will be moving it to data/app. Blame google - unless someone knows a work around? :mad:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sloanster:
Thanks for all your Work!!!

Installed last night...

Really liked the many options at install level...

So far so good...

Sped my system up...:cool:

trackpad?

Just flashed this amazing rom, coming from CM10 and this thing flies! I love the optimizations.

Anyways, my left trackpad button doesn't do anything when I click it. I want it to act like a laptop trackpad. Anyway to accomplish this? I've played with the settings, but no go.

Also, I know this has been mentioned, but I will also ask... Anyway to get a MOD for "expanded desktop?" Probably my favorite feature from CM10.

Thanks for all of your hard work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thanks guys. :good:

As for the track pad left click mine works fine. I don't know what to tell you. Have you tried the asus customised settings under TOUCHPAD / MOUSE? Is there something there you need to do? Personally I use gesture mode.

There is no current mode for expanded desktop that I know of that works on stock but I have used an app called GMD gesture mode app - it does the same thing but uses gestures to do it if you are desperate.
[Asus Transformer TF700] corb06:
I have my App drawer icon to the far right, closest to my left hand thumb. Since I open it alot, its more natural to have to the right, close to thumb.

Having it in the middle, makes you have to move your hand 10 cm to get to it hehe
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
How do you hold your tablet? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
lol I thought the same. Anyone else sat there twisted their hands this way and that thinking ... eh? :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] wildstang83:
Pretty good rom. So far this one has been the most stable for me. Was trying out CM10.1 and even PA but those two lag down hard after a few days. Been running this one for about two weeks with no trouble still.

Good Job :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] bloodylipp:
Just wanted to say, I also have a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 that I had before this. I just updated it to cm10.1 jb 4.2. It's awesome! Now not to be confused with being better than the tf700, its not even close. But I really like 4.2 layout. I didn't think I would on a big screen. My son's nexus 7 has it and I thought that's the biggest screen it would be ok on. I was wrong.

So I guess my thoughts are, can't wait to see what happens with future builds here!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Inline:
Searched through the forums for a specific answer and couldn't really find anything-

What's the worst that can happen by disabling Fsync? I know it can corrupt data as the warning says in Aroma installer and from what I've seen in a few posts, but is this referring simply to apps, contacts, movies, etc, or can you actually mess up the important stuff and brick your device somehow if something horribly wrong happens while you have Fsync disabled?

Thanks in the advance for the help- I really want to disable it to make my Infinity a super speed machine but I just want to be aware of the risks before I do anything hasty!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jimmynoos:
Thank you soo much! GMD gesture control is better.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The worst? well depending upon what you were doing at the time I suppose you could corrupt a partition meaning that you would have to reformat and reflash the ROM from recovery. Obviously if you had a good nandroid backup you would be able to wipe and restore :)

Right I have now got CIFS support working in version 3.1 so this will sneak its way into 3.1 released today! :) This is big news for those of you wanted to get NAS drives fitted as mount points in any app :) Works beautifully as well :) Takes some setup with CIFs manager but it's a do once thing. :good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I've had fsync disabled in every custom ROM incursion I've tried and I have never had a glitch or any data loss.

Stock ROMs have caused or been much more problematic as far as I can remember.

To me fsync disabled has not been any risk at all for me to date.

[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
Android Updating Q

Hey sbdags...I have been running this ROM since I got my tab for Christmas ....love being rooted and rid of all the bloat.

One thing that I have been curious about though...in the instances I cold boot, the screen shows the normal ASUS boot animation and then shows the "Android is updating" "Finishing boot" windows. This as you know is common when one cleans cache out before reboot (or when cleaning cache and flashing a new ROM). Is this happening because of the ROM (cleanrom) or some app I have installed? I tried to remove any apps that may be a culprit but not sure...I haven't seen this before on any rom running on my phone and don't think this was happening when I first flashed cleanrom.

Any ideas? This doesn't concern me a lot...just curious.
[Asus Transformer TF700] René Hitz:
No, works as usual :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Did you install the seeder entropy generator patch? Also have any theme installed?

Try it without that option please - reflash again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's either a bug left over from CleanROM 2.4 (I had it on the original) or you have some .odex files in your /data/app folder in which case it will do this.

I do need to look into this more but it doesn't seem to do any harm and takes what 5 secs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
I agree...just wanted to make sure it wasn't a rogue app causing havoc on my tab :)

Like I said no big deal...thanks for the reply!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No worries. I keep meaning to get around to look at it but it's low down the list :)

Right ODEX build has begun! Will take a few days as have to rebuild most of the ROM :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
I don't have this problem. Everything is in order ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Buehlar:
Good to hear you made it home safely Darren and congrats on your new status! ;)

And now already 3.1 with CIFS support? Amazing as always!:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] LiokoDev:
i used the seeder And not using any themes. I rebooted it just to see if it fixed itself, it did then the task manager stopped responding so i reflshed like you said and for some reason it happened again but when i rebooted its fine now.. it seems very odd..

when flashing 3.1 on top of 3.0.4 , do we need to reset or is wipe of dalvik&cache sufficient ?

How can I install data2sd on 3.1? I followed the instructions on the original post but it keeps bootlooping.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I have no idea unfortunately as I don't need or use data2sd. Can you ask in the data2sd thread please as you'll likely get more help there. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Hey SBDags

I will be updating the review as soon as I flash 3.1. I always do a full wipe as to get clean test n use results without having remnants n rogue bugs from previous versions....

So will send you link to updated post soon as it's done. I will be more thorough this time n more brutal.... I say it like it is no sense in hiding the obvious ;)

Hi Darren

Welcome back hope you had a great Christmas and New Years!

Downloading the ROM now.

But I want to make minor tweaks and I remember you mentioned the procedure in a post and I can't seem to find it.

I want to include SwiftKey / Battery Booster / HD widgets / Go Launcher HD into the rom and remove the other launchers...

If anyone knows the procedure can you post the link and I'll dig into it...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ruud Westerhout:
Allow to inform and ask a small question :

-have my TF700T for a good week now, OTA brought JB 10.4.4.23 to me

-today I have unlocked bootloader with the Asus application (on top of JB) without any problem

-after that I tried to follow instructions to install this rom (YouTube instructions)

-instead of being able to "upload" the rom I got into a bootloop (white Asus sign, alu Asus sign, etc etc.)

-I was able to get into the TWRP menu though

-the ROM was placed on a MicroSD card and installed from there

-the bootloop continued after that

-a wipe device from TWRP menu has finally stopped the looping and I got back to Android

Thanks to the developers, this is looking great.

My question, I was wondering very much when I found all my files still on the device. Be it ebooks, pictures, even some games remembered the settings. Have I done something wrong or is this normal.

(Yes, I have done the wiping after ROM installation as proposed)

regards,

Ruud
[Asus Transformer TF700] radio.static:
It's alright figured it out...
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
yes this is normal. good question too. I wanted to ask this as well. I did a hard reset (thru twrp and the security settings) but my files are still on the device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
What option did you picked when you wiped with twrp?? If you picked factory reset or format data, all your settings/user apps will be gone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ruud Westerhout:
I would be eager to go 'there again' and check, but I just have my device set up again and it took several hours. I want to have Titanium make a correct backup first.

I do remember that I have used the WipeData which is available right after 'power-on' + 'volume down', the most left icon of the four pieces shown.

I think I recall that the TWRP wipe was the top-right of 8 buttons shown, but I do not know exactly what I had to press after that. That is the one which finally brought back my 'Android' on the device, until then it was bootlooping.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
this is not the case. i chose this. Restarted the device, and i had to go thru the whole set up of adding my accounts. After i got everything set up ( i didnt install anything), i went to the stock gallery and noticed my pics were still there. Even some documents were still there. And none of these items were upload to any cloud services.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Pictures and documents are not apps or settings. Everything under /data/media is usually preserved, but apps and settings (/data/app and /data/data) should be deleted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bloodylipp:
HD Widgets is a paid app, can't include paid apps as part of a Rom. So is swiftkey.

To add them you go to the play store

CROMI 3.1 Odexed Released!

Odexed version is being uploaded now. Will be ready within an hour :) You can switch back and forth between Odexed and Deodexed (the most common question) with just a wipe of dalvik and cache. You do not need to do a full wipe.

Feels very smooth too me - best version yet if you don't want to theme it and are not a speed freak. Remember - themes and other add on mods not part of my installer usually won't work on an odexed version ;) I recommend the stock kernel for odexed as well. If you want raw speed then stay with deodexed plus Clemsyn's kernel :)

Enjoy! :victory:

I am having an issue connecting a bluetooth microsoft 5000 mouse using this ROM. I can pair the mouse, but it does not work. I can successfully connect and use the mouse using CM 10.1. I was thinking a kernel issue. Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There is a way to have TWRP (not sure about CWM) to also wipe /data/media - I think it's under one of the TWRP menus...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
I think that's just in recovery. I believe if you do a factory reset in the settings menu on the tablet it will wipe out everything and it will be like using for the first time.
