I beg to differ. Franco's kernel has been the best in my opinion. I have tried all kinds of kernels and they were either hot or a battery hog. Franco's kernel is the most ideal for me

Everyone has a subjective opinion on every kernel so it depends on you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeezyMode:
Thanks for the replies guys! My most primary concern is battery life. I doubt I'll be using the kernel for anything else really. Any idea on how long it takes for a kernel to be fully stable and release with updates once in a while? I know a lot of people like one of Franco's builds specifically, which is a nightly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panick_mg:
I think trinity kernel is one of the best out there and very stable and updates are very fast.

I've been using Franco kernel with stock rom since I got a Nexus.

I love this combo and have yet to see any stability problems.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeezyMode:
Hey! Which version are you using? Also, do you find that the Play Store updater is necessary?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos991:
This time around I have just been using the stable releases. R53 is what I am using right now.

I don't play with the voltages or anything, just flash the .zip and use as normal. With all my android phones, instability happens when playing with the under-voltage settings. It just isn't worth it to me to squeeze out that extra 20 minutes of battery life.

I would only use the play store app if I planned on messing with the colors or regularly flashing nightlies.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeezyMode:
Thank you very much, I'll probably flash r53 tonight and see how things go after a few days of use :) I bought Franco's Display Control app so I'm pretty sure I won't be needing the updater for colour controls
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You don't need to wipe anything before flashing Franco's kernel. Wiping cache/dalvik isn't needed (that's a ROM thing add opposed to a kernel thing).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeezyMode:
Ah okay good to know, thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcPlusTwo:
I used franco's kernel over the past weeks but I many wakelocks. Then I tried harsh's and got average (kernel!) wakelocks at 1-1.5%. I UV so my phone is pretty colder compared to franco's. With faux's I could make me some bacon :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSD4130:
Hey so I'm hoping someone here can help. I did an nandroid backup on my phone, then flashed franco's kernel. My phone will not turn on anymore, every time I try to hold the power button down or boot into bootloader, the LED just flashes red.

Am I screwed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeezyMode:
You're probably going to be better off asking that in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002782
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android88:
The kernel isn't the problem. What you have to do is remove the battery and plug it back in. It's as easy as that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcPlusTwo:
I somehow got it back working without opening the device.

Try to long press the power button or the power button and volume down.

USB ADB Drivers (both OS and Recovery modes)

I have a new TF300T factory ICS 4.0.3.

I was able to setup APX mode and its driver is correctly

installed. The tablet is recognized as an MTP device and the

internal (/sdcard) mount point is reachable.

After enabling setup/developer options/USB debugging,

ADB does not 'see' the device though, adb devices

does not return the serial number.

I'm guessing I need more / different drivers.

I have the 'naked driver 0.72' package, but the

.inf is not setup for 'install' and device manager

update driver says I have the latest driver installed?

Do I uninstall the USB driver ASUS sync installed and

and then install the 'naked driver' package from the

new device wizard? :confused:

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
First some info. Windows thinks it should make the choices about drivers and is designed to keep us from choosing something that might cause problems. We need to maintain control through the process. I just received a window computer last week and had the same issue. This will be a long post but was necessary for me.

Here are the choices I had to use to change my drivers

.

windows-start - in search type device manager and return.

right click on the entry you wish to change the driver for.

Update Driver Software.

Browse my computer for driver software.

Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Have Disk

Browse

choose the universal naked drivers directory

click on the proper inf file

windows says not signed; install anyway

using this method you don't have to uninstall your current driver

if you deviate at any step windows will refuse to allow this change

Good Luck!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I'm sorry your screen capture is not large enough to see.

With your tablet unplugged open device manager; now plug your tablet into the computer and you will either see asus adb interface or maybe a driver failure. Either a larger screen capture or try to explain the changes in device manager is needed.

It would be good if I knew the state of your tablet while you are doing this.

followup: tf300 adb drivers?

Both tablets work normally with their OSes and the supplied apps work as expected.

For the ICS one all I did was set developer options to enable adb, the tablet does display

the icon in the lower right corner, so the 'server' is working. I wanted to experiment

with custom firmware, so I got a new tablet that still has ICS so it can run nvflash

for tf300t.

Normal boot (the ICS tablet is unrooted & locked as it came from factory,

the JB one is rooted, (using OTA Rootkeeper and OTA JB updates),

locked). I have 2 tablets (Black is JB and Blue is ICS).

MTP and APX modes are recognized, neither recognizes ADB

('adb devices' does not return serial number with normal 'desktop'

displayed).

I see code 10 on the ASUS Transformer ADB interface, (with the usual 'exclamation point' error flag).

MTP and APX drivers did install and work as expected. normal OS (either ICS or JB) boot).

As I said, after looking at the content of the .inf file, there is a section for tf101 and tf201

but not for tf300 and tf700, I wondered if that was the issue ? If so, where does one get the

correct tf300t drivers for adb modes and fastboot mode?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104

As usual ASUS support was less than helpful. They tell me there are no ADB drivers

or Fastboot drivers. :confused:

While I'm asking, is ICS supposed to support USB mass storage, (on my HTC devices

I'm prompted for USB connection mode, (charge only (used with adb), disk (UMS) or

HTC sync)? ASUS doesn't prompt for UMS or MTP connection modes?

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
The universal naked drivers work properly for our unit even though they are not marked as such.

Asus MTP, go to settings/storage and select (in my case) three dots in the upper right(options). This will give you usb computer connection, click that, place a check beside MTP.

Your device manager entry with code 10 is where you use the directions I provided earlier to install universal drivers. While you were away I made a post in general with screen shots that may help.

Uptate:

I forgot fastboot. The tablet will only present the fastboot interface to your pc when you are in fastboot mode. From bootloader menu volume down to the usb symbol and volume up to select. This is only available after you unlock!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzynco:
progress ADB for JB works, ICS doesn't.

Since neither tablet is currently unlocked I'm just trying

to get 'adb devices' to return the serial number in normal

OS boot mode. With the tablets in APX mode, Windows

Device Manager does see the APX driver correctly.

After updating the driver per your instructions, Windows 7

+ JB works, Windows 7 + ICS does not.

Windows 7 Pro '"see's" the Jellybean TF300T ('adb devices' responds with device serial number)

That tablet is running 4.1.1 (OTA JB) started life as 4.0.3 and was rooted without unlock while

on ICS, OTA Rootkeeper saved, JB OTA updated, OTA Rootkeeper restored root successfully.

The new ICS tablet that has nothing other than USB debugging turned on, is not seen on the same

Windows 7 Pro that see's Jellybean fine. I'm puzzled, if JB is seen properly, the driver is installed

correctly, right?? Unless there is factory defect in the new tablet, what else might cause different

behavior for ICS vs JB firmware, with the same driver? :confused:

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
It is very possible that adb will not work properly on ICS unless it is unlocked. I can't remember but would say it is very likely since JB does work and both use the same drivers. In two days I was unlocked, on the latest JB, twrp installed and waiting for a non stock based rom.

There are some differences between JB and ICS. I received ICS input from wha2do concerning methods of entry into apx and bootloader while I was gathering info to update my thread. Here are the ones we identified.

or -

no need to hold volume with these

8. adb reboot bootloader

or

9. fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader

or

10. from terminal -

you must be rooted for this to work

su

reboot bootloader

Note 1: If you have nvflash installed some of the commands presented in this post may not work; possibly 8, 9, and 10 - THANKS TO wha2do for this info!

I need to update my info to: If you have ICS or Nvflash.

I think you are ok but give adb another try on ICS when you unlock and if you have problems let me know.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzynco:
OK - 1st try will be unlock and attempt adb again

on ICS tablet

Do the locked root process

OTA Rootkeeper save

Unlock ICS bootloader

test fastboot devices

test adb devices

(if ok)

adb backup

fastboot flash recovery

boot to recovery

test adb devices (in recovery mode)

nandroid backup

Hopefully everything will work as it should :)

if everything else worked I can try nvflash backup process

*sigh* I hope it works

Just take your time and try to stick to your list.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzynco:
Note: do not use WIPE DATA on the bootloader menu!!!

You know, I've often wondered why that is even there,

The right place to do 'wipes' is in a custom Recovery,

where there is an OS controlling the device mounts

and unmounts. The boot loader is more or less like

a PC's BIOS, while it can do it, its too early in the

boot process for it to have the right understanding

about whats happening in the devices setup, to

do it safely and properly.

how to unlock bootloader please?

I just received my asus t300 and updated all the software OTA so it is now on stock Jelly Bean. I have read in a few places saying use the ASUS bootloader unlocker but it was for ICS i believe. I have read posts of the asus unlocker bricking devices that have JB installed and I don't want to be one of those people. Please point me in the right direction on how to safely unlock the bootloader so I can root and try out a faster ROM. I have rooted my cell phones (note2, gsIII) all day long but for some reason I can't find the start of the "bread crumb" trial for this device.

Thanks!!!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Quot from Asus: ※This tool now only works with TF300T ICS & JB of TW,US,WW CN SKU. It won’t work on other devices.

Register your unit with Asus, log into play store, run the unlocker. The bricks I have seen unlocking have been caused by WIPE DATA on the bootloader/recovery menu. Never use that!

Note: I failed to add this link earlier. This is good simple directions for unlock.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peopie:
I'm not sure how to search for my problem, but I can try to describe it

all of my root directory has been moved into a folder called 0, and now there are just some random folders in the new root directory

I recently unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp, and I made a recovery image at that point.

Then I flashed CM10.1

Then I decided not to use CM10.1 , so i tried to restore from the recovery image

So now thats where I am, and I am trying to root it now.

The default root directory that i had previously placed the CM10.1 zip is in the folder 0, and it wouldnt read any zips i placed in the regular root directory.

So if i place the root-signed zip into the regular root directory, it doesn't read it.

It does read it if it is in the same directory as the CM10.1 zip, or the folder called 0

I flashed the zip, and it didnt seem to do anything.

I may have not done a certain step during the recovery or restoration process, but I was pretty sure to wipe cache before flashing stuff, and I reset to factory before flashing CM10.1

So the main problem I am having now is that I am unable to be rooted.

Im sorry this is horribly worded >.<

any help would be greatly appreciated!

No, verify the file already has the zip extension. If it does rename as US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip. If not add the extension and try as it is named now. If that fails to install rename as US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip and try.

I don't have facebook, twitter, or any of the others. I know where to get my news and weather and I was bothered by being flipped back and forth between the tiles and the desktop.

I run multiple windows with multiple programs and switch between them as I work. I was bothered about leaving everything from the tiles running and soon I would be sitting and waiting for windows to recover before I could even reboot and start again.

If so you can flash that rom you tried when this went in the ditch. I remember I already checked that the bootloader is 4.2.

If you flash that rom it is already rooted as most custom roms are.

If when you get to twrp there are any odd messages about not being able to flash partitions stop and give us an update.

Note: Some of the problems we can't fix with the incorrect recovery on 4.2 is because they panic and try to boot into a tablet with no os. Then they can't get twrp to work and are stuck.
