If the download is 0 bytes then it didn't upload properly. I'll have another go later. Just reflash the rom to restore otherwise.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:
well to be quite honest with you everything on my tablet lags when I run this particular rom cromi4.6.6. Even the setup wizard would lag and take forever to completely set up. When I touch the screen to swipe to another screen it was lag there, it would lag going into the app drawer, even lag when I tried opening an app. I have performed complete factory reset, I also all format it all day to internally, just trying to fix anything I could to see if I could get a fresh load of 4.6 .6. But I was able to get any good results after that. next I try to clean rom 3.4.7 and I got the same results? I thought using clean rom would work better but it didn't. I'm now on cm10, until this issue is resolved. I don't know, maybe it might take your tablet, but I kind of doubt that because it's running really well on cm 10.

Btw, I prefer Cromi rom as it looks totally bad ass, normally runs badass, and they guys over here are pretty helpful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
The "issue" isn't with CleanROM if you have that bad of lag regardless of what version of CleanROM you use.

Are you letting the CleanROM installation "settle" for a few hours after installing? CleanROM does some things after the first boot that take time to "settle". if you are installing, seeing lag and then immediately trying a different version, then that may be the problem. I don't think that CM10 does these optimizations, which is why it seems faster immediately after install.

Give things a few hours to settle in after installing - if you still have the lag that you describe (even on pre-4.6.6 versions), then something is wrong with your setup. Otherwise, everyone else wouldn't be so happy - the problem is *not* CleanROM!
[Asus Transformer TF700] myeepad:
There are 3 files in the /init.d folder - 50cleantweaks, 60zipalign and 70b2r, which file or files I should copy over from 4.6.5?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I would hold on this update; I think it's still a zero-byte file.
[Asus Transformer TF700] myeepad:
I flashed 4.6.5 to get those files, so I need only the 50cleantweaks and not the others?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I believe that's the case. You could upload it to save sbdags and others some time :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:
I didn't say the issue was cleanrom, I just said I was having trouble with both Cromi xenogenisis and clean rom latest versions...but thanks for pointing that out. Yes I let it 'settle' for a few hours and tried using each for a day. I still had bad results in terms of lag. I never had lag issues with the previous versions of these roms even immediately after installation. It seems as awesome as these 'optimizations' are within Cromi and Cleanrom, they "may" be causing lag issues. No I haven't tried the fix Sbdags posted yet. I may wait until he puts it in the next version. thanks for your help though...

EDIT: after reading back a few pages I see that more than a 'FEW' people are having lag issues. Maybe everyone's setup is bad, because it clearly doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with this rom. If it's not the rom, and it's not my setup, then what could it be?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
I have to agree... Opening apps or screen changes does take a while before responding.. (And I ALWAYS do a full wipe / clean install)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There do seem to be some lag issues with the latest version - [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] has confirmed that they are probably related to some tuning parameters that he updated in the latest version. However, you are saying that you have bad lag on *all* versions of CleanROM, which is not what others have reported in the past (in fact, it's quite the opposite of what the vast majority of others have reported) - this is why I think it's something with your particular setup and/or device.

In order to avoid confusion with the lag issues with the latest release, I'd recommend that you start with a clean install of the previous version (making sure you give it time to "settle" - if you still have lags as bad as you describe, then there is something else going on - CleanROM runs extremely well for the vast majority of it's users, which is why I say it's not CleanROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aleitch:
I reverted back to 4.6.5 about 12 hours ago and my tab is running really well with no lags to speak of. I'll wait until Sbdags gets back from his "vacation" and finds the problem. What a great dev! I can't believe we hear from him while he is gone. Hope he gets some rest anyway.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital DJ:
I never said I had bad lag on all versions of clean ROM. Why don't you read what I wrote. I said I had the lag issue with clean rom 3.4.7. That's fine about your 'opinion' of clean rom. I was just answering a question. Also if you had read what I wrote, you would see that I already tried your 'recommendation'... it didn't work. Thanks for your help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
First, I *did* read what you said - let me make a correction - since you seem to have bad lag with every version of CleanROM *that you tried* (happy?) and others do not, I still believe that it is something with your setup and or/device. What else would explain your drastically different results than just about everyone else?

No need to get snippy - we're just trying to help you (after all, you asked!)....

It's not my "opinion" that the vast majority of CleanROM users have excellent performance - it's fact - just read the thread! Obviously, there are some *minor* lag issues with the latest release, but you seem to have even worse issues with every version that you've tried - so something else is going on.

If you want help then we are willing to help - if you are just going to complain when we try to help you, then don't ask for help! Geez...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deathman20:
All this talk about lag and such... maybe I will just stick on my 4.6.4 Install and just start some tweaking.

Before this goes any further could I ask for a clarification - what does "really bad lag" mean to you both? I know that "really bad" means different things to different people. A former Apple user will have a different tolerance than say someone who just moved from say and Android 2.3 device.

Also, based on my experience, for those folks who have had lag issues in the past with CROMI, it has almost always been traced back to the setup, kernel or a dirty flash.

Just wanted to level set this discussion. We also have to consider all of those 100's/1000's of users that don't comment here - and could be assumed to be happy???

Ok .......... discuss! : )

Hmm I suspect the lag is dependent on how much you have running in the background. Anyway second attempt. This file will revert the tweaks I use back to the same as 4.6.4 / 4.6.5 I.e., much more aggressive memory killing. This definitely helps as I have had no lag today and have been using the tab out and about in Florence ;)

Drop this file in /system/etc/init.d and overwrite the one there. Set permissions as rwx rwx rwx (all boxes ticked) and reboot. That will reset performance parameters back. You'll need to do the above in a root enabled explorer like root browser or es file explorer. ;)

Having done the things you suggested sdbags I can already tell a difference in the response of the tablet, thank you. I did have one random reboot after applying the fix but all seems well now. If I have anymore I will post in here so the wonderful people here can help me figure out what I did wrong.

Now go enjoy your vacation. :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] allan1313:
I did the file swap too and have noticed that it is definitely running better. It would randomly slow down on me before, but it seems to be much smoother now.

4.6.5

Is there anyone who has a download site for a copy of 4.6.5 as I prematurely erased my backup? I can not seem to get this fix to work. Sorry for my noobish.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
Sorry I don't have a link but are you sure you have properly installed 4.6.6? I could imagine if you dirty flashed 4.6.6 over the previous version you will only get more lag dirty flashing 4.6.5 over the current version. Also I would suggest Max's kernel (he is releasing a new version soon) its the smoothest most optimized kernel I've tried (I tried _thats and stock kernel)

Edit: Found it :D

Regarding 50tweaks - how do you set permissions on esexplorer?

Please help?
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Under tools select root explorer. Then select mount R/W and select /system. Then navigate to /system/etc/init.d. If the file exists, when you save/overwrite the original the new file will retain the existing rwx-rwx-rwx permissions. If the file isn't there save it. Then select it with a long press. The check box for the files are on the right side. I tripped up on my copy/paste by selecting the check box on the left not realizing that the 50tweaks file was already checked by selecting it. //smile

On my system, there are 3 stacked dots to get more options. Select "properties" and then set the permissions.

(Of course it is more geeky to use terminal, get root with the su cmd, and issue the mount -o remount /system,rw by hand followed by copies and chmods ... //smile)

IHTH.

Has anyone noticed that if you're in incognito mode on the stock browser the omnibox doesn't work? If I'm in normal browsing mode, a search term in the box will bring me search results. In incognito mode, a search term redirects me to google.com where I need to input my search again. This has been nagging at me for as long as I can remember on CROMI-X. Previous generations didn't have this issue. Thoughts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes just noticed the same. I wonder if this is normal behaviour to stop it caching the search in the bar. That's the point of incognito mode isn't it ;)

Has Max fixed the 64GB Card Compatibility problem in his new version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] HeathicusF:
I'm giving CROMi-X another try today with the new (old?) tweaks file, and also using Max's kernel. So far, it's much better than my experience yesterday (which was already much better than original stock), but I still don't think it's as smooth as CM10.1. Scrolling through home screens is a little jagged. It's VERY little, but I only notice it because CM10.1 was silky smooth. Chrome also seemed slightly faster and smoother in CM10.1. BUT, I have the stock launcher back (I like the tablet layout, and having the quick toggles in the notification area a lot better than the phone layout, separated toggles and notifications, and big giant bulky toggles).
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I want to to know if the reboot options have been addressed -- I recall that it was a problem rebooting into recovery in Max's kernel, both he and sdbags acknowledged it at some point.

Yes. Specifically the 2013-06-19 nightly.

That was hunds kernel not Max's. ;) it was the way hunds was registering voltage or something. He said he couldn't fix it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
I experienced the lags immediately after flashing 4.6.6.

Because it slowed down more and more running more apps I suspected a low minfree setting. So maybe 4 or 5 days ago I raised the minfree settings by myself and since then the lags are gone.

So raising them is the correct solution.

Ah, right. Thanks for correcting me.

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Off topic, I know, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction...

I have the Asus Connect Dock, and the ethernet connection works great; actually exposes an ethernet option in settings while connected. The trouble is that the ethernet 'on' setting stays on even when the device is undocked (and the UI for it disappears again). This causes it to poll for the port, eating up battery.

Is there a way to access settings, from terminal or otherwise, so I could set up a script to do this for me when I undock? While the 'svc' command works for wifi (ex: # svc wifi disable) and actually changes the gui settings for wifi to 'off', there does not seem to be an equivalent for ethernet/eth0. I've tried using # ifconfig etho down, but it starts right up again. # netcfg eth0 down keeps the ethernet disabled, but does not change the system setting, so I can't be sure it's of any benefit.

Any thoughts? Or did I confuse everyone? :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
There was talk about this in another thread and someone mentioned the setting "Asus Customized Settings -> Disconnect Network During Sleep -> Only When Adapter is unplugged" - give that a shot (if you haven't already) - I'm not sure if that solved the problem or not though. This same situation exists when using a USB->Ethernet adapter (which work fine if you have a supported model - I have both an Apple-branded adapter and a no-name adapter and they both work great)...

Please post your results.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HeathicusF:
Flashed Max's kernel, reflashed CROMi to change some settings (disable dock notification and disable FSYNC) and CROMi now seems as silky smooth as CM10.1 did.

Hello!

After finally receiving my tablet back from RMA department, I cannot wait to put CROMI back on my tf700! I am having problems unlocking again though, is there anyway to unlock without the unlock tool? Here is a bit of back story:

Sent my already unlocked device in, got it back locked.

after trying multiple times to use the unlocker, register my device online, etc. it still does not work.

after speaking with (a rather grumpy) support person, he told me that the tech who worked on it, permanently relocked it!

While i doubt this is possible, I am still having trouble trying to get them to help me out. does anybody else have another solution? im going into CROMI withdrawals!

*Edit- support chat round 2:

Me

i have been having problems using the asus unlock tool after having sent my device in for service. the device was unlocked when i sent it in, and was relocked when i received it. after trying to unlock it again, i am greeted with the message "an unknown error has occurred, which may be network related" i believe that this is because of device serial # already being registered as unlocked.

Basil

I am sorry to hear that you’re having this issue. I will be more than happy to assist you.

Let me check to verify

I was advised by my supervisor that because relocked

You won't be able to unlock it once again

Me

why does it get permanently relocked after service? I am confused why there is a tool to unlock in the first place, but cannot unlock after having been unlocked

2:45 pm

Basil

I am not able to advised of that

It might be in regards to the issue that was caused when it was sent in

2:47 pm There is a server that has the information

Once they repair it they had to lock or return it to the state it was to fix it and once fixed it has been removed from the data base which permanently prevents unlocking
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
That is BS! You purchased the device knowing that it could be unlocked (as Asus provided an unlock tool). Regardless of whether or not they "support" the unlocking tool, your device no longer has the functionality that it had when you purchased it (otherwise, you may not have purchased it to begin with).

I would keep fighting with Asus until they either a) restore it to a state where it can be unlocked again or b) accept the device for return (for a refund) so that you can purchase a new one with all features "unlocked".

I would ask to speak with a manager and explain the point above - if you complain enough, you just *may* get somewhere....
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Did you try sideloading the unlock app? That's what I did.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Sorry bro, but I thought you were being a little snippy also. I chalked it up to your frustration with the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
How do you "sideload"? Like just install as an unknown source? Or actually put it in my system root or something?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Just download the unlock apk from the asus site, copy it via USB to the tablet, run the APK from the file manager. Should work without a problem, despite what they are telling you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
Done that, doesn't work
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You are not the first one in that situation. I suggest you search the forums for this problem. I remember different people finding different solutions.

Check the serial number under About Tablet > Status against the one on the sticker on your tab.

It could be that they don't match anymore or that the new serial number you got after the RMA is not in Asus' database and therefore the Unlock Tool will not work.

Here's one way that worked on the Prime: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1474356

Another user in that situation (unable to unlock after RMA) with his serial# not in the database, got Asus to add it by telling them he wanted to sign up for Asus sync - or was it a tracking service Asus provides for their users - can't remember. It was some kinda service where you have to register your serial with Asus and he tried and also got this error message. He insisted on being able to sign up for it and got them to enter his serial in the database.

He wisely did not mention his wanting to unlock, because you are running into a brick wall there. They do not support it and will not help you if you argue you should be able to unlock, it's your device etc, etc. They will not support it, so you'll have to find a way around it.

Good luck! And please report here if you find a way! You won't be the last one either....
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
I will try that method, but my device if already registered on their tracking site, vip.asus.com.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yeah, that's what it was. Did you register before the RMA? If so, check if you can still track your tablet.

If not, that would be the perfect excuse for you to demand they fix it.

I do not know how they monkeyed with your tab so that you cannot unlock. From what I have read in the past, it is either that the serial numbers of main board and tablet do not match with what they have on their servers if one or the other got changed, or that they gave it a new serial number which also is not in their database.

I have no idea if that is correct, but the first step probably would be to find out why exactly the Unlock Tool does not work for you anymore.

To some extent I understand that Asus is trying to limit their exposure to warranty claims by people scre**** around with the tablet. But if you are willing to give up your warranty - what do they have to loose???? That's the part I don't get.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] dragonboydbboy:
Seriously...

From what the support "specialist" said, it seems my tab serial IS in their database as they know it is unlocked. He said that it was blacklisted as having been unlocked, and can never be unlocked again. However, I cannot register my device on device tracker website, so maybe that is a good excuse to try... I also Pm'd the Asus rep here on xda, asking if he could help me out... Fingers crossed!

Just one question. I know, it's probably a dumb one, but I just want to make sure. This si the most current version of the ROM for the TF700, right? I am assuming that you are updating the top post each time a new ROM comes out. I just want to make sure so that I know where to come back and check for updates, since the last time I checked, this is not showing up in either ROM Toolbox Pro or ROM Manager.
