Great! You're alive :D I hoped this thread would eventually get updated.

I had issues right after setting up (maybe after 15-30min of tf700 running on Hund's kernel). I moved to 4.2 because of that. If this guide would move on, and the issue of bootloops would get fix, I will go back to 4.1.

4.2 was really stable, and I applied most of your tweaks to it, resulting in no issues at all. I am aware that voltage table is really unefficient for OC, so I did it only for some testing.

I couldn't get CrossBreeder working on 4.2. If you'd like to help me, there's a thread in Q&A section. Maybe you have some experience in using it on 4.2...

I'm glad you're in the mood. I'm waiting impatiently for anything you have for us :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
Glad's to hear you're back to tweaking! I'm interested to know why people have been getting bootloops. I've been using your tweak combos (minus data2sd) for about a month now and have never experienced it. I usually turn my tablet on in the morning and keep it on until late at night so I regularly have it on more than 8 hours. I am running on slightly lower GPU/CPU than what you posted.

On a side note, I've switched to 4.2 a few times and came back to 4.1 each time because the tablet with 4.1 + your tweaks runs so much better. Thanks for all your work!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Thats awesome dude glad to hear it is working for you. I personally wasnt having any issues when i had my setup. The reason other people were getting issues is due to something really simple, something i should have realized a long time ago lol. I am going to step up my testing hardcore from now on. I was kind of squirrelly and all over the place, was trying way too hard. I need to slow down a bit haha. I look at my guide now and I see sooooo much that needs to change. I definitely plan on staying on 4.1, so for those of you who like 4.1 you can expect some goodness in the future.

I havent done anything in so long because I am working 2 jobs, taking classes, and volunteerig at the same time. About 80-90 hrs of my week is already spoken for. Watching computex keynotes over the past week has got my android bug all flared up again tho haha. Ill be around :).

PS - Has anyone checked out the Transformer Book Trio.....I almost **** my pants. Dual OS's(android/w8), dual intel processors(haswell atom/i7), and dual storage (64Gb flash/1Tb HDD).....WTF YO! I wont be getting it this year bc its only the transformer books 2nd generation, we need to wait until the 3-4 gen with Asus. The new infinity coming out this fall looks mint, addresses every issue i have with my infinity. Should be the perfect transforming android tablet/mobile productivity device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
I'll be coming back to 4.1.1 once the fix is applied. I went to 4.2 as I got tired of my tablet crashing after every 8 or so hours :mad: Cant wait to come back :o

What was causing the crash anyways?
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Guide was edited yesterday by Lucius with comment "MANY updates, see changelog for details", but the title of thread is dated 13th May, and so is changelog. Anything changed, or are we still waiting for an update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Still having difficulty, went 3 days and got a bootloop. If the changelog does not have anything listed I have not made any major changes. I have no time on my hands. But trust me, I really want to get things working, I really like 4.1. With this tablet I will not be upgrading past 4.1. I have just been enduring bootloops for the past 2 weeks bc I have no time to get things fixed, thats how busy I am haha. However, I would rather deal with constant bootloops than 4.2 lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Are those bootloops fixable? You said you know what causes them, so I hope you'll be able to get them fixed :) Take your time.

My tf700 is now on 4.2, but I face another fatal problem (Google Partner Service crashes, so I can't even use Play). However, I prefer to stick with 4.2 than wipe and reflash CROMi after each bootloop. I'd just like to get a longterm setup, I've been wiping my Infinity over and over for past 2 months now...

If you get any progress with bootloops, drop a note :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
Sounds like you need to start from scratch with all your files
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I have multiple times. It does not matter whether or not I apply any tweaks to Hund's 2.2 kernel, or what version I use, it happens on a clean install. This is something I have never dealt with before. Its just so random. It doesnt matter whether or not my tab is under a heavy workload, or idling. It can be cold as ice and it will still happen. The worst thing is that it is impossible to grab logs after the crash bc I must reflash/restore to get running again. I need to grab them using a PC, which I would do, except I do not have one anymore and the library closes before I finish class. Once I can get logs things can progress. To be honest tho, even if I get the logs, I am going to need a lot of help to find a fix. So here is what I am going to do in the meantime. I am going to write up a quick guide to optimizing an older version of Hund's kernel that is stable. I basically got the same results using older versions of Hunds kernel, I just like 2.2 so much bc you can edit the max frequencies of each CPU core under multiple CPU profiles, which is really badass and very hard to find in a custom kernel. This is the only thing that can't be done with older versions. I would upload and do this now but I deleted all my old scripts from my tab bc I was running for weeks on 2.2 and didnt have any crashes. I need to go through Hunds thread and pick everything out again lol, and decide which was the best one overall, there are 3 others that are particularly excellent. I apologize for all the trouble I have caused anyone, I am doing my best with the very limited amount of time that I have on my hands right now. I love you guys, but I also love my future. Its kind of important. Thus, owning Social Cognition takes precedence lol. I got B+ in a course last semester and had an A going into finals. I stopped studying bc I was spending too much time on xda writing my guide. Never again.....haha.

All the best,

Lucius
[Asus Transformer TF700] TitanUranus:
Interesting experiment result

Well, I was getting pissed off with the lack of bluetooth and that black line so I downgraded to the old 9.4.5.30 bootloader and installed CleanROM 2.3. Using DATA2SD I was having problems (couldn't see my internal mmc at all) so I tried installing CROMI 3.4.7 and Hundsbuah's Data2SD Kernel v2.2 and I can confirm that it installs nicely and seems to be running fine on the old 9.4.5.30 bootloader. I'm hoping this will solve both the black line and that I'll be able to install all these nice tweaks to make the tablet run great. So far I haven't tried anything beyond installing and setting it up. I can read the data on the internal mmc by browsing sdcardi, though I can't see it when connected to windows. This isn't so bad as I store lots of bulk stuff like old roms and magazines on the slow internal. This can easily be stocked up in 1 long transfer by booting with the non data2sd kernel, so long as I can actually see the data and use my 64gb internal space I'm happy.

I will let you know how this goes, but so far I'd say if you are using the CROMI 3.4.7 and these tweaks and have backed up using NVFlash it may be worth reverting to the older bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sgkla:
Sigh...Why are there no solid tweaking guides for a 4.2.1 ROM...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Im back and currently working on it with Hunds kernel 3.3.8 :). Lots to do like figure out governor tweaks, GPU UV tweaks, new voltage table, and hotplug interface tweaks. Also have lots of testing with the PMR tweaks on 4.2.

Lucius
[Asus Transformer TF700] sgkla:
Awesome! Have you tried the new Cromix-5.x? It's been pretty amazing...especially on hunds. I recommend 3.3.6 --it seems to be more stable, than 7 or 8.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
On 5.0.1 and 3.3.8 at the moment, got a voltage table that works well, just trying to figure out what the new parameters for the interactive governor do. Its very different and i cant find any explanations for how each parameter impacts scaling. Having to just go off intuition and testing to figure out what they actually do. Will take a while before i find the best settings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hundsbuah:
Thx for the feedback. What does it make not as stable as 3.3.6?reboots? Thx for your help! Maybe the UV of the lpcore is too much

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk 4
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Just some quick feedback, ill post more in your thread.

In terms of stability I have had no issues on 3.3.7+. No random reboots, no bootlooping, no mounting issues, no major errors of any kind. I get random browser FCs when using the backspace button on the KB, it seems to only happen when editing messages on xda lol. CPU OC interface works well, CPU UV works well, and GPU UV works well. Havent had a chance to test hotplugging interface. Still need to do some optimizing to get a better feel for how this kernel performs. Been playing for a couple of days, so far so good.

Do you know where I can find an article explaining the interactive governors parameters in 4.2. They are very different than 4.1 and I can't seem to find any explanation for how each parameter controls scaling.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sgkla:
[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION] seems to have the best information on the three --I just found less issues with reboots while using OC and UV settings...maybe it's my tab, but he's by far done the most testing on your stuff.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Hey Guys,

Just an update, have hotpllugging config, governor tweaks, CPU/GPU profiles, PMR tweaks, and a few other enhancements figured out. Just working on my voltage table for the CPU/GPU. Having a little trouble bc I am getting very inconsistent results with my mods to the voltage table. Everythings else is on track and I am getting close to the performance i had with 4.1. Getting 7400 in quadrant and 48 fps in nenamark2. Ill keep you posted as best as possible, been really busy these days. Doing school fulltime and working two jobs, its killer.

All the best,

Lucius
[Asus Transformer TF700] W3ber:
any update?:)Glad to see back!:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Hello All!

...and the update process begins. See change log for details. Stay tuned for more updates.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for all the hard works....;) I can not wait to see the update...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Geez, I can't believe you actually got back with this guide! I'm so freakin' excited! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Inline:
7215 quadrant score, ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Nice, I havent been pushing my quadrant scores yet. We should be seeing 7500+ once the guide is done. I won't start cranking out quadrant tests in performance mode until I get my voltage table tweaks in. Plus, although wicked benchmark scores are an indicator of performance I am going for efficiency, stability and usability rather than sheer power/performance this time around. My understanding of processor performance has increased a lot since the last version of this guide, thus I am seeing things quite differently than before.

all the best,

Lucius

Update - Just finished CPU/GPU Profiles section and Governor Tweaks section
[Asus Transformer TF700] Inline:
Oh of course benchmarks don't mean anything, it's just the highest I've gotten so far on my TF700 in my one day of actually pushing it (usually doing everything on my S4 but finally got an SD card for my TF700 so time to get busy with it lol).

Hey Lucius, I was hoping you could help me though - I was running Cromi-X 5.2.2 with Hunds 3.4.2 w/ Rom2SD and I was bored at the library studying at like 3am so I decided to try out all the suggested PMR tweaks for the hell of it (I know the section was outdated, was checking them out regardless since I had a backup and wasn't worried about it). I flashed them all at once except Bravia.

It booted up fine and I used it perfectly fine for an hour but I was messing around with the voltages to see what would be ideal/work/not to hot and eventually it randomly rebooted but got stuck in a bootloop.

Booted back into recovery and restored my backup a fresh stock Cromi-X 5.2.2 w/ Thats and w/ no Data2SD or Rom2SD. Perfectly back to normal. At which point I realized by SD card was still formatted to be for ROM2SD since I saw only 16gb of my 64gb SD Card.

I wanted to go back my previous set-up and continue with messing around with PMR but now when I try to reflash Cromi-X over my fresh setup, with or without selecting Rom2SD, it just get's stuck in a boot loop.

How do I get this guy working again? I was just going to boot into GParted and clean the SD card and reformat the partitions as there is literally nothing important on there and just reinstall Cromi after that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Im not sure what you are trying to do exactly. If you set up everything from scratch it should work, make sure you wipe everything on your internal and external storage before setting everything up. You shouldnt run different kernels on internal vs external install as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Inline:
I am stuck on restored backup, every time I try to flash Cromi over it gets stuck in a bootloop. There is only one rom, the aren't two different kernels - Cromi crashed and went into a bootloop, the only backup I had was of a old fresh install of Cromi prior to having Rom2SD so that's what I restored. I did not use the mount zips as I didn't have them when I restored my only backup, wasn't aware of them till a hour ago lol.

So I'm asking what do I do? And yes I have wiped both external and internal storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
If you wiped your internal storage completely you wouldn't be stuck on a restored backup. Sorry I am still unsure what the problem is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Hotplug config section ironed out :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
More tweaks coming

Completely finished sections not marked with a #. Feel comfortable uploading more tweaks. Just finished testing several governor and frequency table tweaks that are working very well. Will update this weekend :).
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Added CROMi-X installer options and disabled apps sections to post #3. Finished updating post #2/#3 aside from PMR section :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Updated "CPU/GPU freq caps" section. Dual/quad core modes no longer needed to ensure the entire freq table is utilized. Increased performance without hurting scaling efficiency/battery life :).

EDIT - Updated again, made some typos - added quadrant scores - my bad
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Just realized I made a couple of typos in the "Set CPU Freq Cap" section - damn copying and pasting lol. Just fixed it, hope you all realized my mistake and this did not cause any issues. Much apologies.

Thank You 4 Sharing your Knowledge

lucius.zen,

i have been glued to both your guides for a week now researching the first real bug on my TF700 (you just don’t get too many opportunities with CROMi-X). i wrote my first couple scripts per your guide and everything went perfectly, didn’t miss a step.

thanks for sharing your knowledge, i truly appreciate it. :good::good::)
[Asus Transformer TF700] aybesea69:
Lucius.zen,

You referred me to this thread for detailed info about rom2sd. I have thoroughly read the thread (nice one, btw) and now have a series of questions that I hope you will answer.

Currently, I have been running CROMI-X using data2sd and it is VERY stable. I have no intention of running a dual boot setup. With that said:

1) First and foremost, is rom2sd faster, smoother, more stable, more capable than data2sd? Are there any other reasons to move to rom2sd? If your answers are all "no", we can stop right here, and thank you. If there is a reason to swap, what is it?

2) When I first moved to data2sd, I simply backed up my current setup, did a nandroid backup, ran mountdata2sd, did a nandroid restore, fixed the kernel and bam... All good. Can something similar be done to move to rom2sd? Which partitions, and what are the details?

3) From within rom2sd,can I see the internal flash? How do I get to it?

Thank you for such an insightful thread, and please let me know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I haven't noticed any significant improvement in performance. I am utilizing it for testing purposes more than anything. I have noticed I get less crashes than I used to with Data2SD but that was a long time ago. If it is running stable I don't see any major reason to switch.

That being said, if you'd like to switch to ROM2SD it isnt as simple as Data2SD. I haven't tried restoring data that was not initially ROM2SD compatible bc I set everything up from scratch. You're best bet would be to check out _thats's ROM2SD thread or ask him, he is the expert in that area. You can access internal storage from the microSD card when using ROM2SD. It's labelled sdcardi just like data2SD. I really appreciate the feedback, I am glad you enjoyed my guide :).
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Man thats awesome that is exactly why I made these in the first place, I want everybody to be able to do this stuff, really glad things are working well for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Lucius you are a madman! How the hell you have the time to do all this for us is amazing. I have learned more in this thread over the past few weeks then I have over the past year. Well your thread and _That's thread is awesome. What happened to your Hiatus's btw LOLOL

Thanks again !!

Thibor
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
no more hiatus for me lol last night I crushed I/O scheduler testing. I have so much awesome data I can't wait to release, I just put it all in an excel table so everyone can check it out, starting to upload it now :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
Crushed it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
to all with debilitating lag issues.....

Okay, I am still noticing tons of people complain about lag and it is driving me nuts because if set up properly this tablet should not have any issues with lag.

I just watched a half hour review of the tf701 and I can honestly say without a doubt that the stock tf701 has more lag than my tf700.

If you are having a rough time with the tf700 don't complain, simply try using my guide, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I don't care about people complaining, it just drives me nuts knowing that there are people out there who are having a bad experience with their tab when they don't have to. I really just want EVERYONE to have a awesomely smooth, lag free experience because thats what we deserve, especially considering how much cash we dropped on this device.

By the way, I also have not had a single stability issue or random reboot since updating my guide over a month ago. My tablet is rock solid.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Lucius, I see you're getting back to work after Christmas ;)

I'm gonna pull my $hit together and apply your guide too. I remember using it back then when we had 4.1, so I expect now it may be even better :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
working much better, i havent even undervolted the CPU/GPU yet :) i almost might just leave them as is bc i have no heat issues and i can easily get 10 hrs of use in balaced mode with minimum brightness, regardless how heavy load is. i may just undervolt 1.9ghz to help keep heat down bc it can get high after running multiple benchmarks, which isnt a good idea in the 1st place. 1.9 works just fine so long as you have half a brain lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Optimal TCP Congestion Algorithm

Just added Optimal TCP Congestion Algorithm section to TCP/IP Protocols and Congestion Algorithms in post #3 :)

Done for the day. Stay tuned for voltage table tweaks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Inline:
+1

I absolutely agree man, after the proper work is done on it the tablet flies incredibly faster - I haven't had any real lag or reboots in ages!

On a second note, I know your probably still optimizing the CPU voltages you want to include in your guide but to you think you could share with me your UV table your using at the moment? Obviously every tablet can handle different voltages but could you just as something to go off for myself to begin finding that sweet spot?! Having trouble finding voltages that don't get too hot or are too low to work across the board.

And thanks again for the great work that I know for many has completely changed their experience with this tablet greatly! I know how hard it can be to put in the time with college hahaha!

Btw, the lp algorithm works wonders!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Ahhh yeah! Glad your tab is flying as it should be. I would love to share my voltage table but to be perfectly honest I haven`t even done any voltage table tweaking yet. I am visiting my family for the holidays and i am only home for 2 weeks a year so i dont really have time to spend an entire day on voltage table tweaking and testing. As you know optimizing the voltage table can be a bit finicky, it takes an entire day of str8 tweaking to identify the patterns in performance that result from tweaking the voltage table. Voltage tweaking is the most difficult bc it affects CPU performance on a macro level and scaling efficiency on a micro level. I have been putting it off and saving it for last bc I needed to get all other aspects of performance dialed in correctly before it could be done properly. It is definitely next on my list :).

Thanks for the feedback it is very much appreciated.

Best of luck,

Lucius
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
How did you measure?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Just thought i would mention this.....

The web version of youtube is working so well i can run it in floating browser on top of what i am doing, which allows me to browse the web and listen/watch youtube at the same time without any lag :). I love multitasking with background youtube so this is huge for me.

UPDATE - When I say I get zero lag when using floating browser I literally mean zero lag. I am currently watching a youtube video in the floating browser while typing this sentence in the stock browser. I am getting zero keyboard latency or frame skipping in the video. I can load a page in the stock browser while dragging the floating browser playing youtube and the dragging does not stutter and the video does not skip any frames. This is all beig done in balanced mode clocked at 1.6 Ghz MAX. This sht is nuts, I have never been able to get performance this smooth, even when I had 4.1 fully optimized back when I first wrote this guide in May. As soon as I get back home I will record a video of this because you guys have got to see this. Its unbelievably smooth.

Booyashaka!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the overly excited post, my mind has just officially been blown lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Lucius, are there any plans to revise PMR tweaks?

If what happens with YouTube on floating browser is true, then pants were shat :D

Also, is it possible for you to share the way you achieved such performance? By that I mean how you tested every tweak, not how to apply them. I'd be glad to do something similar to this to my phone, but all I can do now is blindly apply some tweaks from this guide. So the question is - how did you do that?
