Oh, thank you, sbdags. I am just trying to play with it to see how you and the others have such a high score. Okay, I'll give it a try and learn.

Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
So, please enlighten me here. I have the stock kerneal installed and I have the Asus customize setting set to power saving mode and the power saving setting set to the same. No-frills cpu app shows that to be 51mhz minimum and 370 mhz as maximum is that about correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] myeepad:
You are absolutely right, sbdags! I flashed the Clemsync 1.9 kernel and the scores are now 5913 in balance and 6635 in performance.

Now I can switch back to stock, and sleep well tonight... <GRIN>
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The power saving settings only kick in when the battery is low like less than 25% but I can't remember what it is now.

You should get up to a max of 1ghz on the power saving mode when selected.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jim_0068:
What is the advantage of flashing cleanrom with the stock kernel? are there still advantages? I like the factory battery life and and would like to run a custom rom but if i use the stock kernel will i still see some improvements? Would the main thing be browser to ram? Or if i plan to keep the stock kernel maybe just root to keep lock and warranty?

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The stock kernel still brings most of the benefits and has nothing to do with root. It allows init.d scripts. Clemsyn brings things like DPI change, overclocking, under voting and disabling fsync.

Browser2ram still functions perfectly on the stock kernel.

Just installed this ROM on my Christmas/birthday gift from my girlfriend. The device was terrible out of the box. I was pissed. This ROM is running great! Thanks so much. Donation coming....Merry Christmas.
[Asus Transformer TF700] scaremy:
hi im new here and this is my first post:) HAPPY NEW YEAR!:laugh:

i just got an infinity pad a few days ago and im running this rom along with the 1.5-1.8 kernel.

my question is can i use an app like Trickster mod to enable/disable Fsync? or is there another way to enable Fsync without reinstalling the rom?

also it seems my gaming performance isn't as good as it should? my nexus 7 scores better 3D than this tablet in quadrant and games like grand theft auto 3 and vice city are very laggy compared to the nexus 7. is this because of the 1080p screen compared to the 1280 on the nexus?

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
There is a seperate .zip somewhere to be found that allows you to disable fsync without having to go through that entire installation process again. I believe it's to be found in the original CleanRom thread (first or second post) by Scrosler.

As for the gaming performance, mine is good.

I have heard that sometimes, the games appear to work smoother in normal mode (instead of performance). Also, just to make sure try toggling force gpu on and/or off. I t could be possible that that's your problem.

But I swear: my GTA performance is great (I think I set everything on 75% and graphics on high). :)

Goodluck sorting out that problem of yours ;)

I agree: this rom has changed my tf700 for the better. At first it was really sluggish and now it's a beast! :D

Therefore sdbags, I'll see if I can find some time to donate sometime this month ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If you want to enable or disable Fsync then just reflash the ROM or the 3.0.4 patch. You don't have to wipe anything and you won't lose anything. It only takes 2 mins to do. I'd be careful with flashing previous patches from cleanrom as I can't guarantee they would work with the new base.

The rom is more than capable of running most games fine. Yes the higher resolution means you probably won't get the frramerates of the nexus 7 but if you turn force GPU on in developer settings and make sure you are in performance mode it should fly with clemsyn's kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Just to clarify this: higher DPI means lower performance because the gpu has to render more? If so, why not go with an even lower DPI? What are the advantages and disadvatages of modifying the DPI from the 240 standard?

Sorry for the noobish question but it is not clear for me and I am pretty sure I am not the only one here ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm. Good question. It seems it is the other way around from my testing. The screen by default has a DPI of 240. When you lower the DPI it has to fit more dots into a smaller space if that makes sense. I think you are confusing DPI with PPI (dots per inch versus pixels per inch). In all reality the difference is minimal. I have found the sweet spot is 213 dpi which is also what the nexus 7 uses.

BTW the infinity PPI is 224 :)

That help you at all? :D Thought not! :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
The benchmarks have gone down with some people going from 240 to 214,however, I don't like benchmarks and user-experience wise there haven't been any noticable changes, and like you said: 214 looks nicer and feels better!

Too bad I can't change it back to that due to the fact that I'm on the stock kernel again :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
To quickly and easily enable/disable fsync without having to flash anything, you can do this from a terminal emulator shell prompt:

To disable fsync:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

To enable fsync:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

Now, keep in mind that setting it this way will result in fsync being re-enabled when you reboot. In order to make it permanent, you'd nee to add it to one of the startup scripts...

Also, this will not work with the stock kernel - there is no way to disable fsync with the stock kernel (the fsync_enabled file doesn't even exist).

Hope that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
"DPI refers to the number of pixels present per inch of display screen. The technically correct term is "PPI" or pixels per inch, but DPI is commonly used instead. With fewer pixels, the picture will not have the clarity that can be achieved with a higher saturation. The greater the number of pixels, the more detailed the picture can be. More pixels also require more memory, and it can take longer to "paint" images, depending on the system's video card, processor and other components."

This is why I was thinking that lower DPI should bring better performance. Anyway...if tests show that 213 is the sweet spot, then 213 it is :). Too bad stock doesn't allow the change or clemsyn's kernel doesn't do a bit better with battery :|
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The number of pixels on the panel stays the same - 1920*1200 - and that's what the GPU needs to render. DPI only influences how many of these pixels are used to render specific UI elements, and derived from that, how many UI elements will be shown.

Actually, low DPI means more UI elements, which means more different textures for the GPU and more application objects for the CPU - so in theory, low DPI settings should even be marginally slower. But I am sure the performance impact is much too small to measure. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Back when I was using benchmark tools, the lower the DPI, the lower the benchmark result... So, I agree - lowering the DPI actually decreases performance and it actually does seem to be measurable, at least with benchmarking tools. However, in actual real-world usage, I'm not sure if the performance hit would be noticeable or not....
[Asus Transformer TF700] scaremy:
cool thanks for all the help guys i will re flash the 3.0.4 update then and enable Fsync from there.and YES i have force gpu rendering set in the dev options.

also why is 213 dpi the "sweet spot" :confused: and can i change that in the build.prop?

and i can run vice city on the nexus 7 with MAX 100% grafix pretty smoothly. BTW my nexus 7 dpi is set at 160 and im running M-kernel @1.5ghz the GPU @ 520mhz and the stock ROM (Fsync is NOT disabled)
[Asus Transformer TF700] pinn___________:
Has anyone managed to get CIFs working with this ROM?

Ta
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
When you reflash just choose the 213 dpi option but yes you could do it yourself if you wanted to. Note only works with clemsyn kernels.

I have all the files ready to go but can't test it in my current location. I have heard it works on stock Asus so need to figure out why CROMI breaks it. I'll need some testers when I am back from vacation next week if you want to help. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
It's the sweet spot for most of us, since it makes the icons etc. a bit smaller and makes the stutus bar a bit smaller too. Therefore, you'll have more screen real estate and everything will look and feel nicer (thanks to that awesome screen of ours) :) You'll see! Just give it a try.

Like Sdbags said: it'll only work on non-stock kernels => In this case only the Clemsyn. On non-stock kernels you can often change the DPI in the build.prop using a root explorer.

Hope this helped ;)

Many thanks for the generous donation! :good:

Strange,I found my old Nexus 7 had much more lag then this TF700... hence the reason I dumped it and I didn't run any games on the nexus,it just lagged browsing and such(there's been a thread running on here since the Nexus 7 was released pertaining to Lag issues and no one seems to be able to cure it rooted or not).. now I do play Need For Speed and found it ran better with the 1.8 kernel for this ROM but not enough for me to give up the better battery advantages we're seeing with the stock kernel, that said I'm sure it all varies from tablet to tablet,I know it shouldn't but it just seems to be(seen issues like this flashing my Galaxy phones).. for me, I could never see going back to the NX7.. not helping you I know but just saying.. hope you get it figured out...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Same here my nexus 7 is much laggier than my infinity with CROMI. That's why I'm bringing CROMI to the nexus 7 soon :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Interesting... My Nexus 7 is faster and smoother than my TF700, even with CleanROM Inheritance (always has been)... I just assumed that it was due to the lower resolution of the Nexus 7.

Are you running everything stock on the Nexus 7? I did notice that no matter what "other" kernel I tried on the N7, it was just not as smooth as the stock kernel, so I am running 100% stock on the N7 (except for the launcher - for that I use ADW EX, just like the TF700)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] scaremy:
i should clarify though

the infinity is much smoother everywhere else but gaming.:confused:

i just ran some quadrant benches and these are the best i got:

both devices setup on performance governor, fsync off , force gpu 2d , fresh reboot.

infinity: (TOTAL 6116) (CPU 14300) (MEM 3745) (I/O 9369) (2D 712) (3D 2456)

Nexus7: (TOTAL 6238) (CPU 14058) (MEM 3769) (I/O 9903) (2D 1000) (3D 2459)

i know these scores are pretty close but you would think that the infinity would outscore the N7 always but that just isn't the case.

i wonder if there is some process/service that is slowing the infinity down?

---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------

no my N7 is running the latest M-kernel CPU@1.5 GPU@520 im running the stock ROM though

even though the N7 is overclocked a bit i still think the infinity should outperform it on this ROM with the 1.5-1.8ghz 650mhz kernel especially.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
My nexus was fine until I upgraded to 4.2. Now it's ever so slightly laggy even on cleanrom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
i agree. i never had lag issues running games on my infinity. and i dont have them on my N7. But my stock N7 is smoother than my tf700 with cleanrom. Although this rom has been great, i still plan on selling it. I am waiting for the next version of clean rom to make my final decision.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bloodylipp:
The only thing I notice any lag in is GTA vice city. Thinking about ordering a 64gb card to try the I/O fix. Anyone try it? Wondering if it's really worth it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Captpt:
I find this discussion very interesting, is it actually a Android thing?

Not off topic but 2 years ago I came over to android from WP7 (don't laugh :) ) and was in a group like XDA where we hacked them to receive updates much earlier then AT&T would release to their customers(that and WP7 was still in its early stages caused me to go android, 1st release of wp7 didn't even have cut and paste lol) but point being even I told the group I was jumping ship for android the one thing they all warned me was I'm going to hate the "delay" or what we call lag, funny huh? They said it isn't long but it's there and you'll notice it and at times I do still..

The last patch I have is CROMI 2.7.2. Can I flash this patch 3.0.4 over my old one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
No, you need to flash 3.0.3 full over 2.7.2, then upgrade with the patch...
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I believe CRI 2.7.2 is based on JB .20. To do this right, you should flash JB .23 (the latest version), then flash the CR3.0.3 then patch 3.0.4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] myeepad:
[EDIT] - Now I am happy, I got Quadrant score 7421 and 7409 with this lightning ROM. This is really amazing!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:
Ugh, thanks. Is the latest JB .23 in the other thread?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Download this full firmware JB .23 from Asus site. After flashing, it will wiped your twrp and root. You need to follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32825557 start with section 2 to re push twrp back on to your device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:
Wow, really. this is what i did the first time to get this thing rooted, setup, etc... I have to do it all over again.... Is it worth it to go to JB .23?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Really, if you know what you're doing, it only take 1/2hrs or less. Is it worth it? since CRI was build on .23, you may not see any differences, but probably eliminated future issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:
Well, I'm a busy dude, so I'll have to check it out later. Thanks though!
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
sdbags could jump in later and say that I'm wrong but... you don't need to install the last stock JB rom before 3.0.3. Unless you are still on the old ICS bootloader. But if you were on any flavor of JB before going to 2.7.2, now you only need to flash 3.0.3 and then patch with 3.0.4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If you are on 2.7.2 then you can just go to 3.0.3 plus 3.0.4 patch. No benefits flashing the Asus 10.4.4.23 upgrade as that is what 3.0.3 plus 3.0.4 patch give you. :)

Edit : thanks acme99 for covering the correct answer! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:
great I do have a JB bootloader. I remember that being a pain in the ass to get on but after following scroslers thingy I finally got it. BTW, I can't find the 3.0.3 patch, I only see the 3.0.4 patch on OP. LInk anyone???
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
There are 6 huge links to 3.0.3. Look again :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] NIKEstickER:
soo speedy :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I do believe that doing it the "right way" potentionally eliminated long term issue(s) may poping up later as you haven't touch it yet. Since Asus haven't released "source code", no one here can really tell what change they made between version .20 and .23. You may able to get away with it in most cases, but the right way is still you should flash a full factory firmware (when new firmware released) first before any custom rom. Of course, if you don't think it's matter then don't do it. For me that's how I flashed rom for my devices (Droid charge, Galaxy S3, Note2, Galaxy Nexus and tF700).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
There is no harm re flashing the Asus update for. 23 but they didn't change anything in the bootloader from. 20 so in this case it's okay to jump :) They are physically the same file. The changes they made were in the firmware system image this time around. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:

I'm sorry it was .18 I installed 3.0.3 over. Am I OK?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

I'm using the rom since the beginning and I have to say that it turned my tab into a missile. What about an odex version of 3.0.4 ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Captpt:
I believe sbdags mentioned something about a Odex version in the near future... I remember asking if it was coo to flash 3.0.3 over my odex 2.7.2 and believe sbdags said I could always wait for the odex version in the works, obviously I couldn't wait lol.. totally enjoying this ROM.. :)

Problems with Camera app

I've only just noticed a problem with my tablet - the Camera app freezes whenever I take a picture, before actually saving it (so I can't take pictures with it at all, only with other apps).

I admit I didn't try to use the camera at all before installing CleanROM 3.0.4 and the data2sd patch, so I wanted to ask: Is anyone else having this problem? Is it just an issue with the Camera app itself, or is it something that might need to be fixed in a future CleanROM release?

I agree with you - I'll probably be using my camera or my phone for most pictures. But I was in the middle of writing an email to someone who asked for a picture of a package that was damaged in the mail (so that she can replace it)... so I tried to take a picture of with my tablet and couldn't.

And that sometimes during loading it is stuck (and you have to kill the process).

I had this both with 3.04 and 2.4 (with Data2SD and with or without Browser2Ram). It wasn't so on the stock ROM (and also not on my phone running Cyanogemod 10).

I am using data2sd, not for I/O fix, but just for the increased storage as I'm using a SanDisk 64GB UHS1 card. I have ZERO lag on any of my games!! Need For Speed Most Wanted, GTA Vice City, GTA 3, Modern Combat 3, and so on.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

It may be big and odd sized for pictures, but I think it does a great job and the camera on this thing is wonderful!! I usually use my Evo 4G LTE for pics, as it's always on me. I do at times though, make sure to have my tablet with me for photos. Before the Infinity was released, I took my Prime with me to a birthday party of my friend's child. It takes great pics, and the Infinity is even better!!

That, and the fact that the screen is much larger than my 4.7" phone screen, so showing the pics I've taken to others around who want to see is much much easier on the Infinity than my Evo LTE
[Asus Transformer TF700] bloodylipp:
Great read, wold love to see if this makes it even better!
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Ok guys,

My review of this ROM after using it since v2.7.... Currently on 3.0.3 with patches.

I would like to point out that I haven't used stock for more than 30 seconds but nonetheless here goes.

This ROM made my Infinity feel so damn fast I couldn't believe it! It has surpassed my expectations by far! I mainly use the tablet for streaming heavy 1080p movies from my PC... By heavy I mean 12gb all the way to 35gb per movie... I do that with the only player that could handle them, BSPlayer Pro.

So far no frame drops, no lag, nothing to report. That's as far as streaming goes.

Now for gaming. Well, not all games were as smooth as I'd hoped, but overall not bad. I use the Clemsyn 1.3-1.8 kernel.. SBdags choice I believe... GTA Vice City runs good, not great, I would compare it to Crysis 2 on my ancient 4 year old rig. Lags in places but not as much as I thought... I don't game much on tablet so it's a Grey area. It don't matter if it lagged a lot or a little... I just play Temple Run on it, which brings me to the next point, sometimes tablet heats up when playing Temple Run dunno y. I mean I play this light on graphics game for hours on end coz it's fun but why the heat buildup? And yeah I use performance mode.

Now on to the overall UI of the tablet, I use Nova Prime and balanced mode, still UI ain't as smooth as I would have hoped, still kinda fast, especially once in app drawer. Switching from page to page is lightning fast... App launching ain't ROM related so I will skip that.

I don't listen to music either so will skip that too. Which brings me to Internet browsing, I use stock browser, and boy is it fast n smooth... No issues here, except, once I was waiting for some files to upload, 18 files of a 9gb 1080p movie, and was browsing a site with tons of images, when, suddenly, out of the blue all characters switched to Arabic, images disappeared, then browser crashed. Only happened once so far do dunno what triggered this behavior...

Anyway, to sum it all up in a few words, awesome ROM, works great for my media n Internet browsing needs. Areas that could use some minor work include gaming n overall UI responsiveness...

Other than that am quite happy. Hope this somewhat, review helps in making this ROM even better ;)

Take care n be safe Y'all :angel:
