[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Woody:
Might want to look at any kernel optimizations that you did, like clock speed, governors and schedulers. If you could grab a logcat, that would be best. Directions in post #2 or you could grab CatLog from the market.

Think it is kernel specific, but I was thinking the same thing. Maybe once all the kernel devs out there update to support TRIM, we should be able to do it on our phones.

Edit: Ninja'd by Tim

These are my steps whenever I update (not clean install which I am due for here in a month or so.)

Wipe /cache, /dalvik, /system

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Flash independent Kernel is you want

Flash misc. (like blackout apps or something like that)

Wipe /cache, /dalvik (you don't have to do these, but I do--old habits)

Advanced/Fix Permissions

Reboot

Profit

These are the steps I take every time I update.

*******************

Ok, so I ran the Optimize scripts last night and the Optimizedb ran smooth. The Optimizestorage was next. I started it and after the perfunctory 40 mins that [MENTION=4900763]shonkin[/MENTION] got, mine was still going. I couldn't last, so i went to sleep. I woke up this morning and before I went to work, checked.

The thing took 102 Mins, but trimmed nearly 21gb of space (I have a 32gb and 32gbmicro). Based on what I read, I fired up the market and POW!!! it instantly pulled up. Updated some apps and overall the whole system feels really great.

Dare I say that this could be a turning point for this ROM (as if we needed another). I highly suggest updating to this version if you haven't already. Still have some things to test, but so far it is pretty amazing to see this old Tegra 2 working this great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Its actually because manufacturers use "Decimal" to calculate the size, where the operating system uses "Binary"

Hence 1000MB vs 1024MB = 1GB

Slightly more to the calculation than above as it comes down to bits and bytes, but that is the general idea
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Similar steps here too except I clear Cache and Dalvik after each flash too, Clear > Flash > Clear > Flash > Clear

I don't fix permissions though, but never seemed to cause any issues by not doing it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] anoniem01:
Were are the optimization scripts to be found? No listing in /etc/kat

Yesterday I flashed my TF101 with this awesome ROM (version #224).

I have been reading this thread and kept reading about running these optimization scripts.

su

root@android:/ # /etc/kat/optimizedb

sh: /etc/kat/optimizedb: not found

root@android:/ # ls /etc/kat

init

sysctl

sysctl.conf

root@android:/ #

In the directory /etc/kat no scripts for optimize(db|storage) are listed.

where can i find these scripts?

keep up the good work!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
It has been introduced in 225.

You can also flash KatKernel 106b on top of 224 and you'll get the scripts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Woody:
Those were implemented in version #225. Flash that and you will be good to go. #224 is still a very strong and solid effort though.

Edit: Ninja'd again. I'm logging off for a bit to see if I can get my post timing a little better. :p

I believe that the well acclaimed animation issue is the result of an ui framework issue, this same issue was present in the days of ICS AOKP and was fixed via framework new files.

Otherwise the ROM has increased in speed overall from 244#, Thanks again Tim
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] d3l1:
optimizedb ran fine and did well.

optimizestorage ended after 0.00sec so it did nothing, guess the strim isn't implemented yet.

I have found my Play Store problem solution.

After some testing I found out that the Play Store App in the included gapps don't support google 2 step verification.

The play store in gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130617b works fine and ask for my SMS verification code, the first time I open Play store.

I completely shocked that I'm the only one that uses this security system. Only using a simple password for a google account is way to insecure.

You are vulnerable to virus, keyloggers, using same password on insecure forums etc.

It's something that I recommend people seriously to investigate and consider.

Hi Tim, iam noticing something strange, wi-fi is set to go off when idle for a minute, for some reason it does not or if it does it goes on again; after several minutes i hear the tablet notify me that i have an email. Before this did not happen, if the wi-fi is off; it remains off even if i receive an email. I did not install any new apps recently that could wake up my tablet.. I am attaching a logcat, can it help you identify anything i might have wrong? Or maybe suggest what i can do to prevent the wi-fi from going on?

Thanks for the help.

Just curious... I had a similar problem, across EOS4 ROMs and KatKiss when Tablet UI was enabled, and tracked it down to the application K9 Mail. Do you run K9 Mail?? Once I disable automatic polling in K9, my status bar has been rock solid for a week now, no notifications disappearing, and no status bar unresponsive.

I've just enabled Phablet UI which worked while it was in settings, but soon as I return to the homescreens, the tablet UI reappears and Phablet UI is gone

If I go back to settings, it goes back to Phablet UI

If I choose no navigation bar, I get this message:

5 min optimization for me.

(I may have cheated and already ran fstrim a couple weeks ago)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Well, tonight things seemed a bit slower, and google play got downright flaky. So for fun I loaded up the 106b katkernel and then re-ran the optimize command.

It trimmed 10 plus gigabytes more, which is almost the same amount it did the first time. (Took at least as long as the 40 minutes it did the first time, too, though that's not a big deal to me.)

That raises a question for me. Is this just a very temporary fix, or does it last for longer than just a few days? If it doesn't, I might still use it once in a while, but probably won't find it an exciting new tool in the box... er, tablet.

It still is pretty cool, though. ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] doppelhelix:
This depends on how much deleting/writing operations are performed on the ssd.

Since the ssd knows nothing about the underlying filesystem it has to read-modify-delete-write whole cells even if they are considered empty by the OS. The trim command informs the ssd which cells are empty and free to use. That way data can jus be written, without the whole process of physically read-modify-delete.

This is also the point why it is a VERY bad idea to have swap partitions/files enabled. Especially sd-cards will physically deteriorate faster than you can say "hmpf. I need a new sd-card"
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
There were a few things crashing, but I've fixed most now, it's quite stable as of this morning.

There are still a few things broken: bluetooth, video, screen capture mostly I think.

I need to restore root access too, so that I can restore and test more apps & stuff :D

Most of the UI customization and build optimizations are left out for the moment too. So look wise it's close to an aosp UI. I prefer to bring it stable first then see what UI features I bring back :)

But seems pretty good now, so it depends mostly on what you need / use ;)

Yeah it's supposed to be a meerkat ;)

Hmm, I don't really see something special, maybe the dock SD failing, but it seems to keep going even with that.

Do you have an SD in the dock ?

Then it just stops at the Notification refresh, so I dunno...

At this point I guess we shall see how it goes on 4.3 maybe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
The SD in dock is an empty adaptor for microsd I use it for mount unmount to get notification appear again instead of undock then dock

Impressed, sounds like you're winning :)

What are your plans for the launcher? Trebuchet or is the stock launcher working without lag this time ?

Thx tim ,

I'll give it a try!!

Edit: tested it but no luck unfortunately.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yeah progressing one step at a time ;)

I has root now woot !

Restored my apps with Titanium.

Seems good so far :D

It's Trebuchet for the moment in the 4.3 build

Will see later on for testing the default launcher.

Pending a few renames I should even be able to include both in the rom and you can choose which you use as default

but I thought most preferred Trebuchet as it's basically the default launcher with more features ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Root is always good :D

Any noticeable improvements over 4.2.2 you can see ?

Im looking forward to playing with the per app permissions apparently included in 4.3, and persistent app notifications to show which apps are constantly running in the background

-

If you can include both that would be ideal, but if you can't and stock still has lag, I'd be happy with Trebuchet

The only reason I would like to still have stock is Trebuchet is not 100% stable, I've lost all of my widgets and customisations in Trebuchet from a simple reboot and had to set everything back up again, it's crashed a few times too when adding / moving widgets around

But I agree, Trebuchet is the more advanced of the two, more settings and options to play with

Is it still being developed / improved ?

Thanks - good luck, I hope you get your status bar issue sorted. I love Tablet UI and this for me was the ONLY thing keeping EOS/KatKiss from being 110% perfect. Maybe something similar for you, an application that polls something on a periodic basis. Using Titanium Backup to freeze apps one at a time, as Tim suggested, really helped me to track down and solve this issue.

I think I've been laboring under the misperception that what /etc/kat/optimize does is actually removing the massive amount of stuff it reports at the end of the process. It obviously is not doing that, as I ran it (as an experiment) twice in a couple hours and got nearly identical numbers both times (over 10gig) and in the identical time.

But it does make the ol' tablet run faster.

How do I unmute notifications? I remember a while back on the Eos roms there was a toggle to mute the notifications. Now with the bar on the bottom. There is a - to the left of the time and notifications are muted. I looked through the Toggle options and settings and can't find anything.

Anyone using Apex Launcher and have it redraw the home screen everytime you hit home or back out of an app? It is really starting to bother me that the widgets on my homescreen disappear and then reappear 5-10 seconds later. I'm on 225 with the 106b kernel and ran the optimizations but this specific lag is still around. I have the launcher locked in memory to try and solve it even though it hasn't helped.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Is it not just reporting how much data it has used the TRIM command on, basically however full your /DATA partition is, that is the size reported at the end ?

Example, I have a 2TB HDD with 200GB of data on it, when I defrag the HDD, it will defrag 200GB worth of data, not remove 200GB

EDIT - Just ran the command on mine, it reported 3213881344 bytes trimmed, I converted that into GB and it is 2.99GB, which is how much free space I have........ lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
Had a similar issue that I minimized by disabling completely the animation in dev options.

Still, #225 sometimes locks in app drawer and I have to kill trebuchet in apps.

Back on #224 because #225 was never that smooth even with trim. #224 FTW :)

I love this ROM so far, but there's one odd thing I can't figure out. Whenever I plug in the charger, the screen goes black. The power button has no effect. The only way to get the screen back is to unplug the charger.

I've ended up back on #224 too, it definitely has a much snappier and smoother feel to it for just about everything, homescreen and opening and using apps
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] e154037:
If you like 224, you can still do optimization there. fstrim is already in system/xbin/, only have to extract from Tim_KatKernel_106b_JB4.2_Lidpatch three optimize files (optimizestorage, optimizedb, optimize) and copy them to /system/etc/kat and set permission to 755.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
I'm also using Apex. Messing around w/ it vs Trebuchet today and I don't like Trebuchet much compared to Apex. It may -- or may not according to a few posts here -- really be snappier than Apex on Tim's ROM. But Apex is so full-featured I don't think I can go back.

For tablet use, I can't find a better launcher in my opinion than Nova. I prefer Go Launcher EX on my Samsung SGH T989 (T-Mobile Galaxy S2 - a.k.a. Hercules). I've tried stock, Trebuchet, Apex, ADW, Go EX, Go HD, and Nova on the TF101 and so far I like Nova the best.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Re Apex... I *may* (no guarantee) have found a setting fix for some of its behaviors. Would be great if others checked my results.

To put it simply, there are settings in KatKiss for what UI one uses -- I have that set for "tablet."

Only today, after others w/ Apex started talking, did I on a hunch go into Apex settings and look for what its UI settings if any are set for. Hmmm.... turns out it was *not* "tablet."

I set it for tablet and almost immediately I noticed that the task bar along the bottom of the screen began acting as I once recall it being -- immediately sensitive to my touch.

Again, no guarantees... just wondering if any other Apex users may have failed to align their generic settings with the Apex settings -- creating a potential (?) "argument" between 'em.

OP:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Verizons-Motorola-XOOM-tablet-receives-new-software-update_id46034

I know the MFG and lots else is different, but with the release, and hopefully source soon, can we see some good headway made on getting 4.1 and up working better on the TF101? (at least a non-neon UPDATED GApps package instead of using 4.0.x components) since its running the same Tegra 2 chip correct?

Of course, this is up to you and the other real developers, but a Tegra 2 device getting Android 4.1.x is a slap in the FACE of the CM team for deciding to not continue on for the Tegra 2 devices past 4.0.x! (/sadface)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thelangosta:
Thanks, I'll try this too. Might also put Nova on and see if it acts the same.

EDIT: The problem with putting Apex in tablet UI is that the dock row of icons then disappear. I did have force GPU rendering checked in the rom settings and unchecked it to see if that makes a difference. Seems like unloading the cpu would make it smoother but who knows.

Correct, but IIRC all the drivers and other kernel stuff is incomplete (if you recall, the last OFFICIAL release for the TF101 was 4.0.3, so all the drivers and such are forward ported to 4.1.x and beyond!), much like exFAT support wasnt in TWRP until an official 4.1 release was done for my Galaxy Note...
