Take your time replying.. at any speed it is greatly appreciated!

I went ahead and reflashed.

With my earlier set up I got 5788 with quadrant. That was clemsyn 1.5, odexed, fsync enabled, and stock launcher. I'm now going clemsyn 1.5, nova launcher prime, fsync disabled, and deodexed to pull 6472 on quadrant. It's pretty quck, I have no complaints, and I'm enjoying tweaking how my tablet looks. Again, big thanks to you guys! I will follow the advice about regular reflashes and wipes. Hopefully I will be able to help some one else before too long

Hey this is great!

Any help from anyone is what this thread is all about.

Glad the scores got a boost.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jconeoone:
Hey guys,

first off i want to say that I have been reading info on this forum for about 3 months now and finally decided to install CleanROM Inheritance 3.1 on my Asus 700. Thanks to everybody on this forum!

My problem occurred after i had unlocked, and performed custom recovery via TWRP. Afterwards while I was installing CleanROM Inheritance 3.1, i was at the part where it was asking what type of launcher I wanted and it froze!!!.....I let it sit there for about 10 minutes and still froze. So i rebooted and it rebooted just normal. I then powered it back off and went to perform the installation of CleanROM Inheritance 3.1. This time when it was at 90% install complete it restarted and came back to the TWRP screen. I got real nervous. I installed one more time and it went thru just fine 100% complete. I then wiped cache and Dalvik cache and rebooted and everything seems to working just fine. I checked the kernel and it says clemsyn and is running CleanROM Inheritance 3.1.

My question is now, is there anything that I should be worried about? Should i look at anything in particular to see what went wrong or if something is wrong?

***also if I wanted to go back and change the launcher i have, do i just install again like normal except click w/e launcher I want?

--sorry for long post, but i figured the more detail the better.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Hi and welcome!

This has happened to me once or twice...no worries there.

Could have been one of those anomalous apps previously installed that may have been a problem.

Hard to say...as long as things are running stable now I see little concern for worry there.

You can go back and choose a different launcher from the installer.

I usually pick the stock launcher then install the freebie version from the Play store so I can easily return to stock just in case.

Excellent thinking details are very important for troubleshooting :good:

If you decide to re-flash for any reason be sure to back-up.

Backing up has saved me numerous times.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Not bad Zen ... but you dont mention what you have your performance set as? There is Low | Medium | High -- You need to be in High performance mode with Fsync off to get over 7000

Good luck !

[Asus Transformer TF700] jconeoone:
Thank you so much!! This answered my every question, and now I dont feel nervous about my first flashing!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan_joegibbsfan:
I have been reading and reading and finally decided here would be where I post, I hope this is a good spot ...

I received my TF700T last week, did the initial charge, unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 2.3.3.0 via fastboot, flashed Clean ROM Inheritance (is CROMI the proper acronym?), then flashed Timberwolf671's theme. All that went fine and the tablet seemed to be fine. Now that I have most everything setup I'm noticing some issues:

(1) Chrome has become very laggy. I see recommendations of using "Browser2ram" to fix this, if this is so I'll re-flash the ROM with that selected, open browser2ram, then reboot.

(2) I use TeamViewer mostly and I've noticed in landscape mode the tablet don't know what to do. i.e. it'll move the image up then down and just overall not know what to do which makes for cursor jumps and a lot of lag. Also with some apps like XDA when in portrait mode it will not fill up the bottom part of the screen, then studder, then fill it the rest of the way in causing lag.

These two issues have made me question three things: (1) dpi (I'm set at 213 I think) what should I be set at? (2) kernel (I have tried several of the kernels in the kernel installer) & (3) bootloader firmware (how do I find out what bootloader I'm on? I know 10.4.4.23 is what I should be on)

Thanks guy in advance for all your help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I suspect the Timberwolf671's theme is your issue, one way to find out is reflash CROMI with 213 dpi and restest everything before reapply the theme. Everything you described above are working fine with mine (no theme).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
I agree also. Try it without the theme for a day or 2. Also you really should instal Browser2Ram. Lastly, is Force GPU ON or OFF ?

Good luck!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MovingZen:
That was with performance mode on... I did it several times and got around 6500 each time. I ran quadrant on my galaxy s3 (US tmobile version) and got around 5600. I thought it was interesting that if the tf700 didn't double the sg3 in cpu score.. it wouldn't have been close. The sg3 beat it in every other score..bad.Shame on Asus for cheaping such an awesome possibility. I've been buying their moboards and video cards for close to 10 years now and always been happy and impressed. Both the 201 and 700 have been disapointing! not so much with the 700 anymore tho!

I'm all adblocked up with no errors when I browse now that I flashed cromi.. this tablet is so smooth and easy to use now! If there are folks out there who are wondering if they should make the jump to cromi, it is most definitely worth the effort.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan_joegibbsfan:
Force GPU is OFF.

I also just realized I stated the wrong version of TWRP, I said the one on my phone, the one on my TF700T is TWRP 2.2.2.3.

I re-flashed the ROM to remove theme and things went from bad to worse! So I did a complete wipe and then re-flashed ROM with Browser2ram. Done my test without theme and things seemed to have improved so I went ahead and flashed the theme and things are still staying the same. So I don't think it was the theme but thanks for the suggestion!

The difference now is I am running the 1.3-1.8GHz with 650 GPU kernel and before I was using the 700 GPU Kernel from the kernel installer. I'm thinking that was the problem. Also I have edited dpi in build prop and 213 or 240 doesn't make a difference in performance. What I did notice concerning TeamViewer is that when I first connect it still acts weird but if I disconnect then immediately reconnect then it acts right. I have also changed governors from powersave to ondemand.

Thanks again for the input and please share anymore input you guys have! I am used to running Synergy on my phone so I'm not used to having options and having to figure out what works best. lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] marshysr20:
Hi All,

I have been lurking around the forum for a while and finally decided to unlock my device and flash to the lastest Cleanrom and Im very glad I did the ROM is great!.

When I flashed to the ROM I used most of the default options but I wouldn't mind trying the Jellybean 4.2 launcher and stuff like that and i was wondering if I need to do a complete wipe before I reflash?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
No, you don't need to, just wipe cache and dalvik cache.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nope you can safely flash straight over the top :good: ;)

Edit buhohitr beat me too it :laugh:.
[Asus Transformer TF700] marshysr20:
Cool you just Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache after the ROM as per normal yeah you don't need to do it before installing the ROM?

Also one more question if I want to go back to my my current configuration what is the best way, restore from the backup or just reflash the ROM again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Do a TWRP backup before you mess with your device, then if you want to go back, just do a restore from twrp.

You can wipe before and after, it doesn't matter. It should works fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] marshysr20:
Great thanks!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Quozl:
I posted this in the development thread and then saw this thread so have moved the question here. Any help appreciated. I was asking about the latest update and this is my reply / questions to the previous answer I received from okantomi

Ahhhhhh, I didn't realise when you posted this answer that the update being discussed was the latest ASUS Version 10.4.4.25 update, I thought it was an update for CROMI.

My question still stands though and I'm hoping someone can explain it for me, apologies for being so thick.

When a new version of CROMI is released incorporating this new update from ASUS how will current CROMI users update without losing all desktop layouts, etc?

Is the procedure to run a backup from TWRP recovery, then install the new CROMI update, then run a restore from TWRP to get back all layouts etc?

Also will there be an update patch version of CROMI offered or do we just install the full CROMI again selecting all the options as before and then run a restore from within TWRP?

Sorry if these questions seem obvious to most, I'm just trying to get my head around how this ROM works on the tablet compared to the ROMS I've installed and used on my S3.

Cheers Q
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
It all depended on the new version, if they change bootloader and such, then yes, you will need to do a full wipe and lose everything, start from scratch, but in this case I think it only bug fixes, so it should flash right over the top and preserve all your setup. Since it's a new version, I think sdbags will make a full cromi, where you have to go through and select everything again. About twrp backup and restore. When you do a twrp backup, it backup the O/S and All your setup, after you upgrade then restore you going to get back the exact setup with the old O/S before you upgrade. TWRP will not restore your setup on top of your new flashed cleanrom. Hope it clears!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan_joegibbsfan:
Wiped everything! Installed stock kernel and now all is well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Quozl:
Thanks mate, that explains it perfectly, much appreciated.

Cheers Q
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Don't forget you can backup almost everything (user related .. apps .. games .. ) and data for those programs with a program like Titanium Backup -or- Rom ToolBox Pro. Just wipe and flash the new version of the ROM ... then restore everything with TB or RTB. You can even make one zip file via TB and flash it last, then it will restore all your stuff automatically. You also can backup your desktop setup via your launcher's backup and then restore that also.

Cheers

Re: ★★ CleanROM Inheritance 3.x | 10.4.4.23 | DEODEX | OC Kernel OFFICIAL HELP THREAD

for the stock launcher, is there any option to backup or it is only for the others launches?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
With a custom recovery you will be able to back up any previous system with apps and settings.

Hope this is an answer if I understand your question correctly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Strga:
Re: ★★ CleanROM Inheritance 3.x | 10.4.4.23 | DEODEX | OC Kernel OFFICIAL HELP THREAD

I mean to backup the layout of the desktop (home screen and so on) if you are using the stock launcher.

sorry for my english
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmmm. Nearly all launchers include their own backup and restore (except for the stock one) and none of them seem to work very well.

I don't know of a good way of backing up the stock launcher. Isn't half the fun having to remember what went where when you reset it up again? :silly: :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Go Launcher (HD or EX) backs up and restores perfectly. It's really, smooth too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I agree with you bro. This is my favorate launcher, the backup feature working well and even if I need to recreate from scratch it took about 3 min due to the multi icon/multi home screen feature that I can add all the icons to all the home screen at the same time. Another bonus feature is the "kill all running apps" task, just swipe down and hit clean. Also it works well with icon pack where you can add third party icon packs and change icon per colum/row/edit/rename/resize your icon on the fly.. Handdown the best launcher for tablet and phone(even more features and plugins).

The only way to backup stock launcher is to have root and using third party backup tool like mybackup or Titanium.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Might have to add it to the installer then :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yaaahoooo!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The launcher layout is stored in /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases. I don't know if you can copy and restore these files while in use, but it should definitely work from the recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
You really like Go Launcher that much eh ? I mean I trust your judgement and I am sure you have it working just fine, but I tend to think that "Go" is really getting bloated and messy. I'll give it to you that it is awesome for theming ... but I dont like all the "go store" add-on's / apps and falsely making it look like it is all free. I have run "Go" on my P999 (LG-G2x) and really like the looks of it. But it seems to be made more for a phone then a Tablet. I am partial to APEX and Nova Prime, but Adding Go to Aroma is fine.... everyone has their own favorites :)

Just my 2 cents.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Ok, I decided to unlock and flash this thing. I'm at the kernel selection screen, not sure if I should pick the 1.3-1.8GHZ or the 1.5-1.8GHZ... What is it stock, and is the 1,8GHZ going to shorten the life of anything?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Chose stock if you don't want to OC anything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Eh, I already picked 1.3-1.8, too impatient.

Is the voltage jacked up for the 1.8GHZ or anything that would cause a bunch more heat? Was it 1.6GHZ or 1.7GHZ in performance mode stock? I assume it's easy enough to just reflash and pick other kernals at any time right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
1.8 ghz is only used in performance mode. 1.3ghz is actually an underclock for balanced mode as that kernel is so good :)

Use the kernel installer in the op if you want to switch quickly but yes you could just reflash.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Just download kernel zip from here http://d-h.st/8oX , use twrp to flash this zip, it will give you the option to flash any kernel on the fly. You should try out the stock first, then the Clemsync 1.5-1.8 would be your next best bet for OC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Yeah, I'm used to using performance mode full time though. I guess I thought the 1.3GHZ-1.8GHZ meant 1.3GHZ would be power saver, then maybe stock speed set as balanced, and then 1,8 as performance.

At any rate, I just ran Quadrant and got about 5800, seems a bit low.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Try enable force gpu in developer settings
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You should have force gpu rendering enabled and fsync disabled, then you will see above 6000+.

Edit: sdbags, you beat me this time :))
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Force GPU was enabled before I flashed anything, but the second time I ran Quadrant I just got 6257. My best stock score was 4490, so I guess that's pretty decent. Don't know enough about fsync to mess with it, I'll read more about it later. Thanks guys.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
And it has exhausted me doing it! Lol. :cyclops:

Good stuff that is where you should be with Fsync still on. :good:

Re: ★★ CleanROM Inheritance 3.x | 10.4.4.23 | DEODEX | OC Kernel OFFICIAL HELP THREAD

Can any of the kernels provided by this rom solve the infamous "black lines" problem of the stock rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
AFAIK the black line issue won't go away with a different kernel.

I don't see the black lines at all on the CROMi on the stock kernel.

Getting a minute gray-line flash in the browser on occasion.

My opinion is that's a Tegra\Nvidia driver bug.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
They are extremely rare for me. Can't remember the last time I saw one. But then I usually only use balanced mode and don't play any intensive games.
[Asus Transformer TF700] marshysr20:
Just a quick one I saw the new boot loader is out and was just wondering how to install it... Is it the same, as flashing a ROM? Also is it worth updating or should I just wait until the new ROM is released
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
If your bootloader is JB .16 then you need to update, else they all the same from .18 to .25.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can now flash the bootloader file from the CROMI thread post 2 to be safe if you like :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Re: ★★ CleanROM Inheritance 3.x | 10.4.4.23 | DEODEX | OC Kernel OFFICIAL HELP THREAD

It isn't solved... I'm back on the stock kernel, but I had them on Clemsyn too...
[Asus Transformer TF700] marshysr20:
Do I flash it the same as I would the CROMI ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, just like you flash a rom, but no setup, just flash then reboot. That's it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You should use the TW one. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Is there any difference, except the build ID string displayed in the bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
When I compared the us to ww there seemed to be a few physical differences in the files. I'd rather not recommend folk mix bootloaders. Best just to match sku unless someone wants to flash them all and confirm it makes mo difference?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shadow071506:
thanks a lot :) going to try 3.2 tonight...
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
So I've been using my CROMId and Clemsynd Infinity for a few days now, and while benchmarks are much better, why do I not notice much improvement anywhere else? I still get pauses when loading apps, still get a homescreen redraw every now and then, I honestly don't think I would be able to tell the difference between locked and unlocked at this stage. Was mine just running that well before?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Which version of stock did you cone from? Did you update to the jelly bean bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
A bit difficult to follow your explanation.

Locked or Unlocked won't affect how the tablet performs.

The Clemsyn kernel overclocks will affect gaming and other GPU intensive tasks.

Each Clemsyn's kernel performs differently depending on how you run your tablet in settings i.e; Power save-Balanced-Performance.

Did you opt for disabling Fsync by any chance?
[Asus Transformer TF700] snypa:
US 2 WW ... still alive

Just to confirm, i was originally US version but have totally swapped to WW without any known errors...

obviously probably safer not to swap but all does seem well so far!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
I came from the .23 update, already had JB.

I meant unlocked as in ROMed and OCed. Didnt disable fsync because I didn't read about the cautions close enough.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Seems like some residuals are in the system, possible some bad apps, but the fastest way to cure this is make a backup using twrp, then do a full wipe, flash Asus full firmware 25, reflash twrp then use twrp to flash cleanrom3.2 again. well if you like stock, then there is a stock with root made by sdbags in this forum, just use that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
What all exactly does TWRP back up? Will it do images and stuff like that or do I have to manually back them up? I was going to ask if it was like a nandroid backup, but I assume not otherwise I'd just end up restoring whatever problem there may be.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, using twrp and make a backup is called nandroid backup. Sure after reflash and fixed your issue, then you can delete the backup then create a new one (good backup). If you install download apps, becareful with the none brand name app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Ok, so I guess I'll do the backup and then make sure I have my pictures and other stuff backed up so I can restore those. I guess the point of nandroid backups is just in case something goes horribly wrong, otherwise like I said, the same issue will get restored again too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
After a nice clean install of a new rom , make the first backup (O/S factory rom), flash cleanrom 3.2, make another backup (cleanrom3.2), load up all the user apps, make another backup (cleanrom+apps), now you can play around, after you add more than 5-10 apps, create another one. Finally, feel free to create more backup as you please or as needed. As you can see you covered no matter what. Well that's what I did anyway.

fsTRIM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2104326

Has anyone tried this fsTRIM tweak with CROMI, some have reported it makes things a little snappier on tf700. Makes sense that it would on stock but i have no idea what would happen if we did this on our ROM/clemsyns kernel/with fsync disabled. Reluctant to try it at this point, if anyone has tried/knows if it would work with clemsyn kernel some help would be much appreciated
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes works great
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Wicked thanks for quick reply, i heard it wont do anything if fsync is disabled, ill trust your judgement on this one tho, obviously lol :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It will do the same regardless the fsync setting. But with fsync disabled, writes to the eMMC are delayed anyway, so you might not see any difference (if it even exists).

fsTRIM and COMI, OCed Kernel, fsync disabled

I just download the fsTRIM app and it worked with CROMI, OCed kernel, and fsync disabled. Things are deffinitely running smoother and slightly faster now. Noticing less keyboard latency even as I type this out. I suggest trying it out.

UPDATE - Seriously try this **** out. Keyboard typing is radically smoother in browser, evernot, and google drive. Less latency between multi touch gestures ive set up in GMD Gesture Control as well. App opening is still instantaneous. Loading big web pages is definitely quicker. Will time boot and other things and update again soon.

Update - Opening large files and youtube is faster. large pdfs load wicked fast. everything is really....snappy, and.....smooth.....best of both worlds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
In CWM it uses the external sd by default if I recall correctly. So when you isntall you have to choose the install from internal option. Are you doing that?

You shouldn't have to mess with mounting.

Any reason why you didn't choose TWRP? It is much more user friendly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] marci4na:
i use cwm in my samsung s3...so i choose that.

nothig even if i choose internal or external memory....

i try also so do a wipe data from cwm but it doesn't work...

I can only guess you are not on the right version of cwm. Are you using the latest one for the tf700?

Try TWRP it is much better.
