I'd like to add a tip for reducing lag on the device. I recently tried an app called "Seeder" which is designed to do just that, reduce lag. I have been pleasantly surprised by how functional this app really is. My tablet just flies and I have reduced lag to virtually zero. The app description has a lot of technical info but the gist is that it does the following according to the developer:

"This data (entropy) runs out frequently, and that causes processes reading from the blocking device (if any) to temporarily stop responding (lag). These processes cannot continue until the Linux kernel repopulates the entropy pool, which takes time. In addition, input events are pulled from the user interface (to refill the pool), which may also contribute to the problem.

Seeder is a service for root users. It assists the kernel in "topping off" the entropy pool by re-seeding it with data from the non-blocking (high performance) random device. Optionally, it can also help alleviate MMC I/O contention by extending the I/O queue, allowing the I/O scheduler to make better decisions, and combine more writes."

Frankly I don't know what all that means (LOL) but it works! This app along with changing a few developer options in settings has given my tablet an absolutely beautiful interface with no lag whatsoever and quick app switching, multitasking and immediate response to inputs.

So in conjunction with the app try changing the following in settings/developer options/drawing...window animation scale (to off), Transition animation scale (to off), animator duration scale (to off).

I don't know if its a placebo effect or not, but I am satisfied that my tablet runs much better and I am extremely happy with the results. Additionally, I have found zero affect on the battery. Now this application surely has it's share of controversy as to whether it works or not. I gave it a shot and I am satisfied that it does. YMMV and if you are not satisfied that it does simply uninstall it.

Re: [ROM][JB 4.2.2] Team EOS 4 - Nightlies -- TF101

Google has clearly stated that all of the above is nonsense, and Seeder does nothing except prevent your tablet going into deep sleep, thereby wasting battery life.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aburgthing:
I understand all that and certainly read up on it. I was skeptical to be sure. What I'd like to know is have you tried it? I have not noticed any change in battery life and clearly see a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
Re: [ROM][JB 4.2.2] Team EOS 4 - Nightlies -- TF101

No, because I understand what it is doing, and know it is a bad idea.

Placebo is a mighty and well-documented thing.

Re: [ROM][JB 4.2.2] Team EOS 4 - Nightlies -- TF101

I tried it about a month ago. I used Seeder for about a week. I didn't notice a difference. But, if you think it makes your TF faster, then go for it!

ive drained through 87% of the battery during 4 hours of the screen turned off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] BBXiong:
yeap, I'm also using Nova, and it's way better right now, thanks for the advice :D

thanks, I read that actually, and is already using Nova when i asked, but still notice some sluggishness and wonder if there's any way to further improve it, thanks a lot for the quick respond :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] prog19:
For some reason, it seems my dock is draining very fast.

The tablet itself have a wonderful battery life. Just the dock, in sleep mode, has battery drain. It's strange, because the tablet is deep sleeping very well.

And also, when the battery gets very very low, the percentage stops showing, but the keyboard keeps working well.

I don't know. After 2 days of the tablet unpluged, i find him with 99% of battery,(it never fully charge with dock) no battery on dock, and dock working well. It's also strange, because back on ICS days, when dock drained i would never find my tablet fully charged.

It's not a problem for me, not at all. I'm just sharing the information because it's a curious behavior...

This is happening since the first 4.2 build. But it's not a problem at all, as i've said.

Re: [ROM][JB 4.2.2] Team EOS 4 - Nightlies -- TF101

I, too, tried a flashable zip I downloaded somewhere on xda called CrossBreeder, which I believe is doing about the same thing and maybe a little more, I'll have to take a closer look at it. I felt like I was observing a noticeable, though small, difference in responsiveness. It may be placebo, but it seemed to help. I haven't reflashed it yet the last couple of builds because I wanted to get a better feel for how the ROM is doing without it and then test later with it. I think I read somewhere in here that Timduru had that entropy thing either in the ROM or his kernel at one point, just in case it did anything useful. I'll find some kind of repeatable tests, other than just flipping through screens and see if I can document any real difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Good to hear :)

It could be bzero missing that was affecting photoshop too I'd say.

So latest preview fixes that.

Well yes, I run with all off too, that for sure does help responsiveness :)

It is most likely what is giving you the effect ;)

On the other hand you can just use KatKernel it already prevents entropy depletion just in case.

Yeah just in case I've included entropy patches in KatKernel,, it should never deplete so you don't need an external app for that with KatKernel.

Basically to get maximum responsiveness: Deactivate the navbar + deactivate autorotation + use another launcher than stock + use KatKernel96 + turn off animation scale, transition animation scale, animator duration scale
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wn1ytw:
I believe there was a discussion back aways on the thread advising to separate the doc from the tab when not needed. That was supposed to increase battery life of both.

I found it too much a PIA to do, I like the dock as a stand / case/ mini laptop,

Hey Tim!

I would like to suggeste an idea to make your rom even more fantastic!

Can you provide a way to assign custom shortcuts/apps to dock special keys?

I sparely use for exemple native browser, and would love the possibility to assign firefox to browser quick launch... for exemple

Idem for screen shots, I would like it to open camera or an camera apps (instant cam, hidden cam..)

etc.

Do you think it is possible?

Anyway, what you have already done deserve a medal or a permanent job as Asus Dev Team Leader!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bigrushdog:
Entropy. Amount of disorder in a closed system. Here's the deal. The entropy apps give a performance increase, but for the wrong reason. Since they usually run a daemon, the device does not sleep, thus the device cpu does not throttle down. This is why they are battery killers. Search Cyanogenmod g+ for an extensive write up by legendary CM dev Ricardo Cirquiera on this matter. Most kernel devs now include entropy tweaks in their kernels now eliminating the daemon sleep issue.

I didn't update change log yet because I'd rather get a root canal without anesthesia. We'll have a new build system in place soon where logs are automatic.

We hit a few speedbumps getting Linaro up and running. But they seem to be resolved. Keeping tf101 up and running is of the highest importance to me and timduru. Did you guys know tf101 is our most popular build by a long shot! Look at the goo download numbers. You guys are beasts!

tf101 has similar lag issues as xoom. And the solutions are the same. These Tegra 2 devices are getting some gray hair. But I think we can keep them in the game for a while.

Thanks guys
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Woody:
Here are some interesting posts that should shed some light. I've been following the Seeder thread for some time and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I will just tell you now that I do not run the app or zip. I did try it when it came out and a few interations later but I don't run it and if at all possible, I remove it from cooked in ROMs. I would bet that anyone running Seeder on an TF101 is seeing little to no RR/SODs because it does let it sleep properly. Slight battery life sacrifice.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
If you follow the flashing procedure exactly you won't lose your accounts( ie you need to flash gapps right after the rom and before rebooting)

The gapps backup/restore should be fixed in 101 or the next release. (not sure if it made it in 101 or not)

It might require a few tweaks though, have to see what files it's backupping and maybe adapt it for the new 4.2.2 gapps...

So soon you won't have to reflash the gapps everytime after the rom

Which gapps version are you using ?

and did you try to flash gapps again after the upgrade ?

See if it restores it.

Also was it working fine with previous versions or do you know since which version has it stopped working ?

Streaming video distortion

Hey guys, first of all, thanks for the great ROM! Everytime there is a new build, I update to see if a probleem in one of the apps I am using daily has been resolved.

The app is a news app called RTL 365 (Dutch) which contains a lot of video. When I played this video in the stock ASUS ROM, it always stuttered continuously, which was one of the reasons I went down the custom ROM road. In EOS4, it isn't stuttering continuously, but each say 10 seconds or so, during a few seconds, the video is distorted. I know other custom ROM's, particularly Josteinks/Rayman FX 4.1.2 ROM does not have the problem. So I hope it is ROM related and can be fixed in this great ROM in the near future!
