[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
That article that you referenced is from 2011 and is talking about the TF101, not the TF700 - completely different beasts...

We've already found that this issue seems to affect some users with both types of dock (metal and plastic). The truth is that we still don't have a full grasp on exactly what is causing the problem for some users. We really need more users that have the problem to diagnose it like [MENTION=1640284]Rivera[/MENTION] has in order to really figure it out.

What is the big deal about discussing this issue here? As I've previously pointed out, most of the posts in this thread are not specific to problems with this ROM - this issue is no different. Users are more than welcome to ignore the posts if they aren't interested. That being said, you are more than welcome to start a new thread about the problem - I just feel that we'll make better progress talking about it here, with a controlled set of users that do and don't have the problem. But, like I said, feel free to start a new thread if you'd like. Truth is, some of the users here (like me), don't frequently review other threads - really, this is the only thread that I subscribe to anymore, so if it's not discussed here, then I would never see it (I'm sure there are other that do the same). This is a kinda like a one-stop shop for people that use the CROMi-X ROM! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MicAlter:
That's right and was the reason to edit my post again and changed to color to gray.

OK - understand your point of view. Maybe you are right to discuss the drain problem here with "power"- and "not power" users to find out how it can be solved and the solution integrated into the next CROMi-X release (or to find out that this problem can't be fixed due to bugs in a low level driver, ...)

But I think that could make the thread more and more confusing for people starting with CROMi-X... I personally have no problem to read more posts about "The Drain" in this thread... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i'll give this a try and see what happens, but what if the "culprit" app is something that a person needs to use?

anyway, it may be happening with certain Apps, but the fact that the drain problem started with the JB release points to the ROM firmware. it seems how the ROM and these "culprit" apps interact has changed . . . and oddly, only when docked.

BTW, the workaround posted of powering down, then docking, then rebooting doesn't help the docking drain for me.

my workaround - don't dock ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Me also. Sad because this is the main reason I got the 700....
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I completely drained yesterday as well. Driving home now but I suspect it hasn't fixed my drain either. :( Soon find out!
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
I actually had several apps that I believe were causing the drain. I have installed most of them back without problems, albeit I'm still testing the last drainer, which was Hangouts, and I installed back this morning. But Google Play Services, Facebook, and Hangouts were all throwing WAKEUPS that after uninstalling (mind you, I cleared the apps cache, the app data, and I uninstalled updates on unremovable apps) they have not come back, and my battery and dock have been performing great.

I really think that somewhere in the upgrade processes some apps can be affected and corrupted. This explains why narrowing down the suspects, clearing data, uninstalling, and reinstalling "magically" resolved my problems. Do try. Keep an open mind. I'll try to help as needed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
Thanks to letmeknow. I'm running his new ET and getting zero lag even on balanced at 1.6. It's chewing through my battery at a higher rate but that's to be expected to a certain extent. Great work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Clean installed 5.03 (formatted data!) with no kernel, then flashed this file - hung in recovery on "Tweaking filesystem" (or whatever the "Tweaking" line says) for 15 minutes, so I am restoring nandroid.

Do I need to flash a kernel with the 5.03 install? Or, reboot in between flashes?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah that didn't work - so off to investigate what is keeping my device from sleeping properly when docked..... Grrrr......
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
See my post #1076. Can you give me your exact flashing procedure?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Flash the rom, choose hunds kernel, let it boot then go back and flash this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
I just dirty flashed the kernel on top of 3.3.8 and wiped dalvik and cache.
[Asus Transformer TF700] myeepad:
At what step of your installation & setup do I flash this ET Zip? Can't wait to test this out :victory:
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, when you step on the gas pedal to accelerate, you consume more gas...:) It is the law of nature.. Thanks for the first feedback. I know that it consumes more battery but I did a lot of test and I did not see a lot of different in battery usage comparing with the original kernel.. :) I will take a look into it.. Thanks.

It is odd. I installed it at least five or six times a day during tweaking and testing without any problem. Can you reinstall it with hund kernel and install it on top of it... :)

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

It is actually Hund's kernel. I just added some tweaks to his init.rc and repacked the blob file. So, you can treat it likes you install a new kernel. That is it.. ;) Please give me some feedback so I can improve it if it needs to.. Thanks in advance.. :)

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Please wipe dalvik and cache before installing this ET and DO NOT wipe both caches after installing because there are some mounting options tweaks during the installation process. You will loose those setting if you wipe both caches after installation. I will add this note in the original post..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Well, I don't know what the problem is. I wiped everything and formatted data. Flashed 5.03 ET with Hund kernel and Fsync off. Rebooted and went through the setup. Went back to TWRP 2.6.3.1, wiped both caches, and flashed your file. On the "Tweaking Ext4 Filesystem" step, the blue line progresses to the end, and there it stays, for 10 minutes or more, if I let it. I downloaded your file again and checked the MD5 sum against my original download, and it matched. No idea what the problem is.

Stalled boot sequence

Hi I have installed CROMiX and seem to stall at first boot - how long should a first boot take?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
2 mins max.

What did you flash it on top of?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I know what the problem is. It's the fsck commands and data journaling in your installer [MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION]. As I suggested I recommend you remove them for now as they will cause issues. What's happening is fsck is now going to spend hours trying to fix some errors on your data partition. It'll be quicker if you reboot to TWRP and format data, then flash cromi-x again.

BTW I've implemented the new ET into version 5.0.4. Just testing it now :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
The only difference is that you used v5.0.3 ET. I did not use ET during the rom installation because I use my tweaks after installing... Can you format data and reinstall v5.0.3 again without ET with hund kernel with No data2sd? You can also try a dirty installation with wiping dalvik and cache, thanks.. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ghislandi:
Install

CyanogenMod
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is easy to remove fsck in the script. I will do that and re-upload the zip file. However, if you have a problem running fsck during the installation, you have major problems with app data, just my guess...:(

Thanks sbdags for adding the new ET as an option on your rom. Speed freaks like me will love that... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Can't be done like that I'm afraid. CM and Stock Based ROMS are not compatible with each other.

A) Make sure you have flashed the bootloader package in the first post separately - reboot - let it bootloop then go back into TWRP

B) Now format data in TWRP and then flash CROMi-X

It will now boot :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ghislandi:
Thanks - it started now.

So it's based on the 4.2.1 android?

Do you have it up and run yet? :confused: I will try to remove the fsck when I get off work... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Just got home - give me 15 minutes...

UPDATE: No go with clean install of US Edition. Will wait for fsck free version (or 5.0.4).
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
I have a problem in that I upgraded from the last version of CROMI-X and I followed the instructions concerning the upgrade and it seemed to install fine, but now it won't go onto the main screen at all!

Basically, most of the time, it starts to load up then it either stays on a black screen until I switch the device off then on after a few minutes or just freezes up.

Has anyone else ever had this problem before, and if so, how did they fix it?

Fortunately, I made a Nandroid backup before hand, just in case, so I can revert to that if needed, but at the same time, it is a bit frustrating that this is happening in the first place.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You have a bootloop that I believe. It happens one in a while if you don't do a clean installation.. :) You may want to format your data and reinstall it.. Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

It cannot be real, LetMeKnow!!! I flashed your ET after a clean install of CROMi-X 5.0.3, you know what? These are the Quadrant scores I got:

Performance - 7497

Balance - 6740

I am speechless but can only say, WOW, thank you... Now I am going to test it more...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the feedback... You actually can go faster but I find a sweet point with battery friendly too.... ;) I hope that you are enjoy my fast and furious ET..... ;) Do you have any heat issue? Your internet buffer should be improved also..... Have fun..:good:

Absolutely no issue after running it on performance mode for over 2 hours. CPU Spy reports 31% running at 1800 and 41% at 1600. Temp is only between 41 - 45 degrees while I have been playing Words with Friends and switching back and forth stock browser.

Also Epic Citadel reports a benchmark at 39.8 in performnace and 39.5 in balance.

This is the fastest and smoothest rom and kernel i ever tried. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I just remove the fsck. I will upload it shortly and hope that it will work in your case... :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Thanks for the information. I can lower the 1600 down to save battery but I have to increase the step frequency to catch up under the heavy loads so users don't feel lags. I will give it a shot and see how well it behaves... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
What could cause this?

Running 5.0.3 for the 10 days it's been out. _that'sv5 1518, ET, fsync disabled. It ran absolutely flawlessly up until a few days ago. I started to get extreme lag in virtually all aspects including browsing, switching apps and opening apps. The top left of the tab on the back would always feel significantly warmer than normal and I couldn't make it through even a day with a full charge in both the tablet and dock. I re-flashed wiping cache and dalvik and also changed from ET to US and tried _that's v5 1318. Still very laggy. I then tried going back to my original set up, again wiping cache and dalvik. Still laggy and my quadrant which used to be around 6800 would top out around only 5400.

I then tried a full wipe, wiping data, cache and dalvik and going with US build and a more conservative 1318 _thats V5. I used Titanium to restore app data only, all apps were fresh installed from Play. Still laggy and 5400 quadrants. I figured I'd try one more flash to go back to my previously great setup. This time I flashed cache and dalvik and went back to my original setup and now I'm back in business with extremely smooth and fast performance. Quadrants are back up to around 6800 again.

1) what could have caused the severe degradation in performance after 10 or so days to begin with?

2) why did it take so many wipes to fix? Also, why didn't it fix after the full wipe but take another cache/dalvik wipe after that to finally fix?

I do run lagfix daily at 3:30am set to system, data and cache after reading that google started to implement their version of it into 4.3. could this be a cause?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
A defective app or service that hogs the CPU.

Because you started with wiping instead of trying to diagnose which app eats your CPU.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited but I really am trying to learn.

-What could I have done to try to diagnose what app was eating the CPU? Nothing appeared to be using excsesive battery. Screen and wifi were the only notable users of battery over the few days with this problem?

-What could make an app suddenly cause such detrimental performance? Why (or how) would this app's behavior persist through reboots and reflashes including wiping of cache and data?

-Not that benchmarks mean everything but it did coincide with extreme lag in real world performance. What would cause the 6800 scores I was used to seeing to drop to 5400 and then, only after a shotgun approach of wipe after wipe (I didn't know what else to do so I tried that first) things to finally jump 1400pts back to 6800s while keeping the original kernel and setup? Even after the full wipe, 5400 seems exceptionally low. I do see people here post such low scores periodically and usually they are on the wrong bootloader or simialar. This was not the case here on an established setup yeilding high benchmark scores.

Thank you _that.

I went to bluetooth a file from my tab to my phone and my tab shows up as a Nexus 4:eek: Is this normal:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes you can rename it if you want. I nicked the Bluetooth files from a nexus to fix Bluetooth headphone compatibility. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I like the app "Cool Tool" which is a small overlay window that can show all kinds of realtime data, e.g. CPU load, CPU speed, network traffic, I/O activity, the currently most CPU-intensive process, etc. Get it from the Play Store.

Most likely some bug. It persists through reboots because a service can autostart after boot (it gets an event from the operating system), and it persists through reflashes because it's either a system app or you reinstalled it. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Fantastic! Installed fine. Improved Quadrant from low 6000's (US Edition, FSync disabled, Hund kernel) to 7400's! Tablet running very nicely. Will test some more and report back.

I am glad that your tablet is up and running. You are going to like it and thanks for the feedback. I can not wait with more detail feedback from you... :)

Probably not related to the ROM but, hey, I trust you guys! ;)

In my logcat I am getting a couple of entries that seem to point to some potential prob.

The other line is also repeated over and over again, but not as frequently as the above line.

09-27 14:10:32.142 W/NvCpuClient(1107): Failed to bind to service

I think there must be more to it than this. I've tried a factory reset and then installing CROMI 5.0.3 and I still get the drain starting after several hours, even with no apps installed other than what comes with the ROM. What is really annoying is that several times I think I've fixed it after disabling this or that app, only to find the drain starts again after several hours or even days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Well did all this and it came up with no apps keeping it awake.

So back to square 1.:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
^^How much drain did you have in the 30 minutes during this test? Are you saying that there weren't *any* "WAKEUP" lines in your logcat file??

Posting the logcat so that others can review may help as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
I have quite some ANR's with your kernel modification, which I dont have with the latest Hunds.

Any idea why?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need to provide a logcat from the time when you got the ANRs otherwise it will be difficult to diagnose.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
First, let me clarify something....:) I did not modify hund's kernel. I use it as is but I did change his setting to my preferences. I did add some tweaks to his kernel, build.prop, and init.d for it to work better. That is all I did..;)

However, can you give more details about the ANR? I would love to look into it... thanks :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] PesSarmiento:
I'm having problems with the stock browser, if i have like 3 or 4 windows open at the same time the browser closes it. Another thing I cant go back, i need to press back 2 times to get to the previous page. In xda page when i try to search something the page refreshes it self.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The back button bug is caused by adaway ad blocking and using the xda 2013 theme. Either switch back to xda 2010 theme OR turn off adaway. Neither are my fault I'm afraid......

I haven't seen this issue with tabs closing - are they particularly large websites? More details please. Capture a logcat from when it does it and it will tell you why it decided to close them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I currently open about 9 pages and write this message to you without a problem...;)

If you have ad block setup, it might be a culprit for the double tabs to go back.

I have the same problem as you when I am on xda website only. Others websites are fine. The way around it is you need to log out of your account before searching on the xda website... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] PesSarmiento:
It is only on xda web, the rest is fine. Im going to deactivate adAway
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
Sorry didn't meant to offend you. About the ANRs, it hard to say. Almost every app hangs for a while until the close message comes. Main hurdle is, I think, my Nova Prime launcher, which really hangs often.

As soon as I flash Hunds Kernel back the ANRs are gone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
No, it is not that.. I just want to make it clear so hund is not going to beat me to death if I modify his kernel without his permission, lol..

About your case, all my apps are very responsive and flying.. Also three testers reported back very positive too.. I don't know how users are using it right now. I would love to hear back from them so I hope that I can make it better...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
I had battery issues early but once it settled down, battery life is comparable to Hund's. This runs extremely smooth. I'm loving it. I was previously running the ET build but my tab stuttered and just didn't like it. This mod paired with the US build is just flat impressive.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am currently taking notes down so that I can update it on the next version. I hope that more users report back so we all can make it better for our tablet on the next release..

Change log for 5.0.4 coming tomorrow if no bugs found :D

o	TF700 Only - Introducing all new Extreme Tweaks from LetMeKnow. Experimental but for you speed freaks! Selected by choosing Hunds OC 3.3.6 kernel

o	Added _that's v5 OC kernel for non TF700 users. Dependent on your tab whether it can handle this OC or not

o	Updated Google Services to fix Multi-DPI compatibility

o	TF300/TF201/ME301 Users - If you choose 160 DPI you now get the original Play Store which brings compatibility back for missing apps

(Useful for Candy Crush Saga, etc). Also works on 240 DPI for TF700 Users

o	Updated Keyboard Manager to fixed version 2.8

o	Updated YouTube to version 5.1.10

o	CROMi-X is now Xposed framework compatible :) Thanks to nemi999 for testing. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

First run the Xposed app, install the framework files and then reboot.

You can now use stock xposed modules found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2327541 and also listed in the app

I have been using your tweaks / fine tunes since you posted it out, no issues at all, it is runnig very smooth. I was unable to let my kid watch the "kids videos" thought that it was an issue with the tweak, but found out the app has problem when i used my mini pc and got the same result.

I remember i had an issue before while the tablet ran slower and slower and then lagged to a status that it is almost unuseable. So far i have not encountered that in mylast 2 days ofuse. The quadrant tests still almost 7400 at performance.

Good to know that sdbags is incorporating this in his new version.

What is ANR anyway?
