Oh, I wasn't aware about the seeder app. Maybe I'll go install that later too lol. In your reading, what have you found about solid benefits of V6? I remember there was a portal article saying/showing that it doesn't do much. There was one about seeder too, but apparently it helps the prime. Maybe it's something we just can't describe but it works.

The keymap stuff is really easy text-based editing. I wrote up a guide to do it manually when I first found them so I'll go look for that and link the post to you. The hardware mod was the tough part, trying to make sure you don't actually break any clips lol (as a result, my alt key is permanently lopsided now).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
The biggest benefit so far to V6 is that with my current settings the launcher (I use Nova) never seems to redraw. Before I would lock my launcher in the RAM to get that benefit, but with V6 I don't have to do that. BUT I am going to redo it again to make sure that is all on V6, hence why V6 is not in my guide yet despite me playing with it from day one.

I think the issue is that Seeder takes CPU cycles to work. So it itself can cause lag which is counter productive.

Therefore on many devices with weaker CPUs its a wash. But for us its nice to throw that CPU power at the issue since most of the time we have idle cores.

Thank you, I would love that.

Yeah I am a little scared of that!!!

Okay here is a link to a post including my zip file plus instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32341483&postcount=61

In addition, you can add in instruction to do F4/F5 if you want. Those are to replace the brightness up and down buttons. I just commented them out on my file and rewrote the code to make sure it worked. They're 224 and 225 I think. You can check the zip in the OP of that thread if you want to know exactly which ones to change.

I don't suppose anyone has the stock build.prop for WW_10.4.2.15 do they?

I managed to delete my backup.

Edit: Never mind.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
I did the fsync fix and with all the other tweaks, the device definitely feels snappier. It is nowhere near to my Nexus 4, but still much better than before. At least it beats the N4 in RLBenchmark now (N4 35-40 secs). :)

And the screenshots, before the fsync fix:

After the fix:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
I too have now turned off Fsync and applied most of the tweaks - did not do seeder as I decided to wait for further updates!

Still testing but not broken!

Thanks again poofyhairguy !

Another App - Andromizer - Wipes Dalvik-Cache

Just wanted to share one extra step

Always wanted to wipe the Dalvik Cache

This app allows you to do this for free

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.j.y.daddy.customizer

Install

Goto Set

Then wipe Dalvik Cache

it will reboot - and rebuilt the installed caches for the installed software

Leave it once rebooted to think.

Then should have a little bit of improvement.

Enjoy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
wanted to pop my head in here to say that i did all steps except #5 (build.prop) and #10 (pie controls)....including gaining root, it all took about 30 minutes and so far so good! i've abandon boat browser and have gone back to stock due to the browser2ram tweak.

i was determined to unlock and put the hairybean ROM but it looks like I don't need to anymore due to the performance of my tablet now. Thanks! will keep monitoring this thread to look for further updates/tweaks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
You are welcome. The whole idea is to stay positive and do what we can!

Thank you for this, I added it to OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I haven't played with Fsync or prop build yet. I'm really enjoying the original tweaks and don't want to have to recover my Prime should I screw something up. I did do the Dalvik cache wipe and noticed something right away. I use multipicture live wall paper and have it set to show different pictures for each screen. Before the wipe after a reboot it would show the left most screens picture until I long pressed on the home screen then the other pictures would load. After the Dalvik cache wipe all the pictures now load upon reboot. My thinking is something in the cache was causing this.

Thank the stars we have root again and dedicated xda members to come up with tweaks like this. I love this place.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
I hate to hijack threads, but I'M FINALLY UNLOCKED!

So happy! Thanks poofyhairguy for all your work, regardless, for people that don't want to unlock. I'll see you guys around :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
Does anyone know what will have better performance? These tweaks or a custom rom like Energy or HairyBean?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] supersaiyanx:
Tried this before trying another custom ROM. I don't know why but stock roms had better benchmarks when i tested than customs ROMs. I tried the tips here. Now i wont need custom roms anymore. Because of this thread, i got for the first time, above 8000 in antutu benchmark.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
Unfortunately, one of the tweaks went wrong for me and tablet doesn't boot in Android. I still have a choice of recovery, android, fastboot and wipe at startup. So, I guess, I can follow the above steps.

A simple question: where do I get the latest firmware from? Google search leads to this web page, where there is a grey select OS tab, and I can't do anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
You have to select "Android" from the OS menu to show the different versions.

Make sure you select the correct one for your country.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

I just ran the antutu benchmark and my score was 12380 - just wondering why your was "above" 8000 I assume similar to mine?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
Oh, the Google search linked to the wrong site and the selection was empty. I went through "download" and device selection, and this time I could select "Android", as you said.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Best of luck - can you update everyone with your progress?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
A custom ROM can do much much more than this. Many of the ROMs already have some of this baked in.

And honestly some of this can be done on any ROM. Steps 2, 4,7 and 9 can be done on any ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] supersaiyanx:
I forgot to mention I used the tips on my Galaxy Note :D

I don't have a Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Hey that's great.Just don't use my build.prop.I did a lot of this on my AOKP SGS2 as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
It worked. I have successfully reflashed the stock ROM. All apps and settings survived, but I lost root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Since I've followed this thread from almost the beginning how do you think I should go about doing the tweaks over since the FSYNC and prop build tweaks were added after I did a lot of them? I'm mainly thinking about the Pimp My ROM tweaks. The OP says to do the prop build tweak before the PMR tweaks. Should I just uninstall PMR then do FSYNC and build.prop then go to the PMR step? I'm actually thinking of only doing the FSYNC tweak and skipping the build.prop one if it only produces modest performance gains. So with that said can I go ahead and just do the FSYNC tweak now on top of what I've already done? I know poofyhairguy shouldn't have to be the one to go through all the different scenarios for us he’s done enough for all. Any advice would be great.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
I softbricked doing the fsync tweak. Not sure why. I backed up the old files pasted the new ones and set the right permissions then rebooted. Anything I did wrong?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kornball:
This might be a stupid question, but if I install Browser2Ram, what's the procedure to uninstall it? Merely uninstalling the apk? Or is it one of those things that once you do it, it can't be undone?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
That is what I would do. The reason the PMR step is after step 5 is because the full set of PMR tweaks make build.prop edits that get blown away when you do step 5.

Are you on the newest update of Jellybean for our devices? Have you tried to recover via SD card?

Uninstall the APK, do step 8 and reboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
Are you on the newest update of Jellybean for our devices? Have you tried to recover via SD card?

Yep I am and I haven't had the time to sit down and fix it yet. Just trying to figure out what went wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Thanks again poofyhairguy. I'll do that but after a software upgrade I did on a machine I work on (I'm a field service engineer that fixes semiconductor manufacturing equipment) that went wrong last night I think I'll let the software gods regroup before I attempt FSYNC and build.prop tweaks. BTW I managed to fix my machine at work, a 2 hour job only took me 6!!!!

Under Memory > Change

Pick a preset

I tried Aggresssive and optimal

------------

Tip - Once installed goto Widgets and select the "Autokiller preset" and Select "Aggresssive"

Beleave does not Auto run with out purchase.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Free alternative for disabling apps

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nagopy.android.disablemanager

Works well although a few I can not disable.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Last one -

Under setting > developer options > Enable HW overlays

Needs to be enabled on reboot.

Still experimenting myself

But just got my highest benchmark (I assume are good ?)

Quadrant Standard = 4400+ (attached best - 4475!)

AnTuTu = 12300+

RL SQLlite = 21.687 sec

When I posted that part of the guide I wiped and did it twice to avoid bricking other people with bad directions. I don't know what it could be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
Haha ya I must have messed up somewhere. I tryed putting the update file on the SD card and when I press up on the recovery screen it gives me a dead android.

Did you unzip one layer then rename that zip file like the guide says?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] equinox_boy:
greetings, I have a little problem following the tutorial from the beginning, to do step 5, and the tablet does not start, stays with black screen (where is the animation), after the boot image. restore it with zip asus, and went back to try from step 1 with the newly formatted tablet, and turned to get stuck in the same place, then try directly to step 5, and just got stuck. I'm in 10.4.2.18, any ideas? thank you very much for reading:good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
On step five what build.prop did you use?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Are you WW or US firmware?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] equinox_boy:
My tf201 is an US version, so i used the us zip version. but don't succeed.

:eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Honestly if you are having problems with Step 5 skip it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Hey poofy

I'm 99% sure I'm going to do the FSYNC tweak this weekend. I'm 99% sure I'm not going to do the build.prop tweak. Your advice, if I just do FSYNC can I just do it with the tweaks I've already performed since I'm not going to do the build.prop at this time? Hopefully this will benifit others that have done the original set of tweaks before the FSYNC and build.prop tweaks were added.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Sounds good to me. Please let me know what happens!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
I just did pretty much every tweak listed including build.prop and fysnc off. I have noticed a decent increase in performance compared to what I had before with no tweaks - just stock. I'll run this for a while and see how it goes.

I got my prime back from RMA for an unknown serial problem. Serial is now listed so am still wondering whether it's worth unlocking the device and running a custom rom...

G+ still has some lag when scrolling - will a custom rom fix this sort of thing or is that the best it can be? Or maybe I'm just too spoiled by my Nexus 4 :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
My view is ... do tweaks listed here (more coming soon I am told) until warranty is gone then unlock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thrutheeyes:
EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP

Do I need to rename it like that for my tf300? Tried fsync and my tablet has just totally ballsed up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
just a quick question...has anyone experienced a slow or unreliable google search function after performing these tweaks? sometimes when i do the voice or normal search, it'll fly but other times, it'll hang there searching. unsure if it has to do with the tweaks, but i don't remember it being like this before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Were you using stock 4.2 ROM for TF300? I think you need to name it EP300_SDUPDATE.zip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
No but it could be happeneping. Try turning off the PMR network tweaks and let me know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
turned off the PMR network tweaks and there wasn't much of a difference. i wonder if it's something else?

the testing i've done is that once it returns 1 result, it's fast as usual if i keep the search screen up. once i switch to another program and go back to it, the first search takes forever again but subsequent searches are fine. any other thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Agreed. I unlocked as my warranty ran out a while ago but I have two rmas for green camera alone. These things are unfortunately delicate. But I feel like I have a new device after installing androwook.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Might be my custom build.prop. Try going to your backup and let me know. If so I will edit and repost it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
will do...it's just a matter of swapping the files back right?

can anyone else speak to this with whether or not it's causing the same issues? i rarely use the google search app, so maybe the performance gains are worth it. i also tried uninstalling the updates and reapplying them without success.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Yup. delete mine and then take the .bak off the old one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tmjohnsonfse:
I used to be a fse, now i'm a onsite equipment tech for Texas Instruments. I know how those seemingly easy jobs can turn into a nightmare. I did a upgrade once that was pretty straightforward until the tech with the software didn't show up and I had to undo all that I did. Took 27 hours straight. What company do you work for. I'm looking for a new company. I hate living in Dallas.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
still doing testing, but going back to the stock build.prop doesn't seem to fix the issue. when google search is already open but running in the background, it seems to be fast, but when loading for the first time, it's sluggish. any other thoughts? was it a result of another tweak?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marwir:
Unfortunately I bricked my device due to changes ;) (with locked bootloader). Those steps were not working for me because the name was not correct. Finally I turned out It should be EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip (not EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP). Frankly I'm not expert so I don't know why it works in that way. I just let you know.

Device: TF300T with locked bootloader

Software: TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_15_3.

I was wondering - we should get Android 4.2 soon; I implemented all the tweaks from here. What should I do before update? What should I re-do after update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Unless 4.2 has some major ground breaking stuff I don't think I'm upgrading. I don't need multiple log in or any of the camera stuff that comes with 4.2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
I would reanable the Asus apps and put back the old build.prop before you update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Hmm nothing else should effect the network.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Could the problem be related to any disabled apps? I can confirm I have implemented all here and have no issues however I did not disable all the apps in the post.

Might be worth re-enabling all to check.

Ya I haven't been able to fix mine with the EP201_SDUPDATE.zip. I'll try your way later

What's the battery impact like for setting the governor in PimpMyRom from "interactive" to "performance"?

Nothing. Turns out that setting doesn't stick. I need to edit my guide.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tigerhawkvok:
Fantastic! I love the battery life on this thing, and while 16->12-14 hours is fine, I don't want to suddenly find myself with 8 or something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Yeah I don't think its that drastic. Be sure to make the change in kernel tuner, not PMR as it doesn't stick in PMR.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I have not noticed any discernible battery life drop. There may be some but I've always left my Prime in performance mode before the tweaks. I’ve done all the tweaks but build.prop. Where in Kernel tuner do you set performance mode (sorry if you’ve already edited the OP just haven’t checked it – at work)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Ok I edited the OP and cleaned it up a lot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I checked Kernal Tuner and I already had my cpu set to performance. Reboot

Went back into KT and CPU was still set to Performance after the reboot the ASUS notifiacation icon was still on balanced. I did notice while in the CPU section of KT that there was ony CPU0 listed. I then I guess the Prime did something in the background and all 4 cores showed up for a second then cores 1 2 and 3 disappeared and again only core 0 was shown.

Is there a way to force show all 4 cores on the CPU page (I've not found a way) of KT because when the other 3 cores were shown briefly I saw were you change the core's setting I could see where the other cores were set to interactive. Maybe this is keeping the notification Icon from changing?

Again I can't thank all who contributed to these tweaks enough. I really didn't have any problems with my Prime before but now it's like I just bought a brand new tablet. :good:

Now on to the keyboard tweaks!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
Changing the CPU governor isn't the same thing as changing the Asus performance profile. They are two totally different things.

The Performance governor locks to CPU to it maximum scaling mode, so it will turn all 4 cores on and sit at maximum clock speed (1.2/1.3GHz) all the time, even when totally idle. At best this is increases idle power consumption by 10 times, if not considerably more. Not to mention this gives almost no performance gains as your standard governor will automatically scale up as required. Outside of some benchmark bragging rights it serves almost no purpose whatsoever. It's probably a good thing it isn't working.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Thanks. I will change the OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
went back and enabled a lot of the disabled apps and still no quick google search...i've been thinking of doing a factory reset for a while anyway, but my question is whether i'll have to re-do all these hacks if i restore using titanium? i think i know how to keep root and know how to restore, so that's not so much of a concern.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
The PMR stuff and the FSYNC trick will have to be redone. But things like Seeder/Adaway Titanium can bring back with ease.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
k cool...just want to make it clear that i don't think that the tweaks screwed up anything or didn't work...just trying to eek out the most out of the tablet :) after the factory reset, i'll be redoing the tweaks on the front page
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
just a quick update...after doing the factory reset, then restored missing user apps + data via titanium, all the tweaks actually stayed put including fsync....i used the goog voice search and it was back to working quickly. however, after i performed an update to this via goog play, it looks like it went back to being sluggish...looks like the issue is the latest goog search update.

I can still not unbrick my prime after the fsync messing it up. I have loaded the zip on the sd card and done the steps. When I hold down the down volume button I get to the option menu with the cold boot adb and factory reset and following the steps and pressing up only brings me to a dead android. Can anyone help?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
The dead Android either means the file is named the wrong thing, or you didn't unzip the first zip file.
