Well that's weird. I finally installed TB and rebooted to see if I'd get the UID error, nope. Then I restored my apps (chrome, slide launcher, solid explorer, antek explorer) and restarted. Still no error. I'm not sure if it has to do with using the rebooter app to reboot into recovery and to just do a regular reboot or installing TB from the ROM to system.

Either way looks like I should be good! I'm not sure if xloud audio manager actually boosted the volume or not. It did give me an app (i think) called noozxoide eizo-rewire which seems to be like beatsDSP. Doesn't seem like any of the changes there do anything or the volume boost so I'll probably just delete it.

I'm not sure if it's normal but the stock browser seems to crash sometimes. Which is more than chrome ever does.

Quick question. How often should I run lagfix? Also by defaul only /data and /cache are checked. Should I check /system as well?

And browser2ram is automatic correct? Nothing to enable/change there?

thanks! I'm sure I'll think of more questions :)

Oh and lastly if you use thumb keyboard do not install the Asus keyboard install the google one instead
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You can add the trim option on your device so you don't need to manually running lafix...:)

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]

Did you have discard option as a default for your rom? It should do the trick about lag with time...:)

Oh? Did I miss that when I installed the rom?

Can I dirty flash _that's v7 over Hund's 3.4.2 modded from the 5.2.2 rom? There isn't a kernel flash tool yet. Is it ok to flash ET v1.4 over Hund's 3.4.2?

Is it best to factory wipe when changing kernels?

Thx!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
If you are using the ET, it is automatic mounting that option..:) If you are using _that and sbdags does not including it in his Rom, then you can add them manually to your mount option..:). I did check _that's kernel a while back. I don't think that he is including it...:)

Technically, it should not be a problem, so you don't need to do a factory reset..:) If you see an unstable system with reboot, then you may want to do a factery reset...;)

I don't include it on purpose. Remember how long fstrim (aka lagfix) runs? This time is now spent in tiny slices between your write requests. I didn't measure the performance impact, but I guess it makes more sense to trim large ranges of blocks when you have time, i.e. run lagfix manually every few weeks before you go to sleep or so.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You brought up a good point...:good: As a matter of fact, it does reduce a performance...:( I actually measured the performance before and after mounting the discard option.. However, there was no way that I could accurately measuring it...;) You can imagine that everytime your block mark as unuse then your kernel has to call the cleaning crew to clean thing up, haha.. It is a lot of works...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
check your WiFi after doing this. I dirty flashed _that's v6 over Hunds and my wifi connections broke. Going back to Hunds fixed it. I was flashing them just with TWRP using the zip files. It was recommended to me to flash them with the cromi-x installer or the kernel installer instead. Just something to watch for.

Thumb Keyboard issue

I updated to ver. 5.2.2 today and I keep getting this error message, "Unfortunately, Thumb Keyboard 4 has stopped". I have flashed quite a few versions of CROMi and never had this issue before. I uninstalled and reinstalled Thumb Keyboard twice. I reinstalled 5.2.2, 3 times. I tried with choosing different keyboards or none during installation. I at first flashed with Cache2SD and then without. No matter what I do I still get the error. I'm using deodex with _that ver.7 and fsync disabled. Would appreciate any advice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Twrp = advanced settings = fix permissions

Fixed problem for me. Got this going from hunds to thats.

[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Make sure you installed both (likely only need one, but it doesn't hurt to have both) keyboard as part of the Cromi install. Once you reboot, and if it still happens, clear cache/data on Thumbs. If still happens, you may need to remove/reinstall TK. I'm using TK on 5.2.2 without any issue, though I think I saw this on my first run at Chromini.

You guys that like running with flync off sure like living dangerously. Is whatever increase in performance really worth what might happen if you experience a crash?

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

Unless something is different on this device and Sbdags rom, one should be able to do an advanced restore of data only using TWRP and the last backup you made.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Absolutetly! :D

Where's the danger if you diligently nandroid and back up? Files I am working on get automatically synced to Dropbox, so the potential data loss from a hypothetical crash would be minimal.

And anyway - this rom is so stable, I've been running with fsync off for almost a year now and never lost anything.

Just tried this using FF and Phony set to FF desktop (tried others also) but all Amazon did was keep trying to connect. What did you do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
The day that I decided to unluck my device, I already learn how to spell the word DANGEROUS, haha....:p
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Stating the obvious, I assume you have Flash installed.

That said, I noticed something today... I re-ran the 5.2.2 installer because I wanted to try undervolting. Later on, I tried prime and it did not work (anymore). On a whim, I removed, then reinstalled FF. Set it to deskop mode (no Phony) and Prime worked again. Not sure if the plug in is impacted on reinstall or not, but it looks like it something loses sync after a dirty flash (no pun intended).

The reinstall seems to fix whatever it is though. Not an elegant solution, but it does work again for me. Try it and post back?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I can not remember who suggested to update flash player to .63 ( had like 15 pgs to read to catch up) but that got it working for me. Much thanks to the person who suggested it, you know who you are. :D

Yes thanks to all mentioned...absolutely!
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Thanks. Now that you mention it, this message seems to pop up after I flash a new kernel, whether with a new Rom or by itself. Dirty flash everything just now, with fix permission in Twrp and I am golden.

Hmm tablet seems to be hardlocking and restarting when I'm multi-tasking. It seems like it only does this when it's set on performance mode. Not 100% sure if it happens on balanced or not. I have _that 7 and the defaul OC settings. Hopefully it's just from the performance mode and multi tasking! I'll stick to balanced for now.

I'm getting some weird artifacting when running my exact same CROMi 5.2.2 setup as rom2sd. It show really well with words with friends. The covered letters don't match the board... weird. It also doesn't appear to be that much speed improvement (Samsung Ultra 16gb). Running speed tests gets 10mb on internal and about 18 on the Samsung.... Not complaining, just stating some facts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] geniv:
I installed cromi 5.2.2 deodex and it works great.

But upon using it and installing all my apps. I wemt to do a reboot.

Now it is stuck on the booting screeen animation then do a full power off

After I spent 5 hours installing apps and doing setting. :(

I dont want to reinstall and setup all over again

Can someone help? Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I hear you, mate!

You could try to boot into the bootloader and from there into your recovery and do a nandroid backup, then reflash the rom, boot into it, boot back into recovery and restore your nandroid.

The problem with that scenario is: What caused you to be stuck on the boot animation and would you restore exactly that problem?

Did you by any chance reboot from the Cromi settings app?
[Asus Transformer TF700] geniv:
Yupe I rebooted from the cromi setting app.

I switch to tf300 resolution. Rebooted from app. It was fine. Used the tablet

Then use the crimi app and set back to default resolution and rebooted from cromi app

Sorry if this issue has been settled by someone else but reading through 300+ pages of thread is hard on mobile.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I grant you that ;)

It is a known issue that rebooting from the Cromi app with fsync off can lead to data corruption. I am not sure if you can save your nandroid - don't know what it actually sc*** up - but you will have to re-flash the room.

Next time, choose your settings in Cromi app and then reboot from the Power menu
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, you don't miss much. _that and I debated about the lags that users are experiencing after a while of use on our tf700. The reason that users have lags because android has to erase the old contents on the old blocks before writing the new contents on them...:) So I decided to add the "discard" mounting option on the ET so as soon as the block is marked as unused the kernel starts to erase it with a penalty of loss in speed. _that intended not to add that option on his kernel because it will slow down the device and manually use lagfix to run it once a week at night to clean things up...:)

So the question that I asked you is if you add the "discard" mounting option on the Cromi X...:)

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

It is almost twice the speed on your test result on the two SDs, LOL...:) What do you have in mind? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
:) My point was to say even with the faster card I didn't see much improvement in speed. Both regular and rom2sd seem to be just as fast. User needs vary.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Oh, I see what you meant now...thanks..;)

Edit:

Have you tried to optimize your governor and scheduler? I see the speed improvement with optimizations...Just a thought...:)

window utility for ext partition

I ran into this utility it allow you to mount an ext partition in windows and see and copy your files in it I guess the same is also available for Mac (not free)

Windows is

FREE but you need to register

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah I'm with you now - no I do not use the discard option. I kept it simple this time as I discovered a bug that caused the device to reboot if it had been up for 5 days on the old optimized mount settings.

In 5.2.2 I use the following:

run_program("/tmp/tune2fs.ext4", "-O", "+has_journal", "-o", "+journal_data_writeback", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8");
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yep! Hopefuly [MENTION=2675647]elesbb[/MENTION] can finalise his latest version to fix this ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I used that simple command on the latest of the ET too....:)

I think that it is a good idea to keep the journal on data partition to prevent a corruption.. I should do that on the ET also but Hund has a disable journal on the mmcblk0p8...:)

The data writeback should help _that users, haha...;) I think that _that has it as a default setting which is a data order...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I believe so. Well since I kept data journaling on I have had no more data corruption. Problem is people flash hunds directly or old ET versions and it turns it back off for them and they don't even realise.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I will create a zip for users to turn on and off the journal of their choices..:) Since there is no one size fit all, so let the users choose what they want to do...haha and hope that they know what they are doing...;)

[Asus Transformer TF700] geniv:
that is an ASHWHOLE bug!

The "reboot" button is RIGHT THERE below the CROMI-X settings.

I wish there would be some kinda warning :(

Anyway I went to recovery and reinstall the image and it won't work (same thing)

nor I also tried with installing with different kernel and options.. same thing suck on booting animation.

so I did a restore of a working nandiod backup that I did before the crash (thank god I did that). and it booted up back normally.

but I lost 5 hours of work :(

BTW: is there any app to tweak the settings that was aviaalble on the ROM install process after the installation is completed?

and specifically what app is there to enable/disable FSync.

Fsync disable seems pretty risky in terms of data loss/corruption.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is a very good question? :) AFAIK, changing the congestion control only changes the way your wifi handling data traffic, receive or send data. It should not affect or change anything on the browser itself..:) What is the memory reserve for your br2ram?

We need lucius.zen or _that inputs on this topic. I would like to hear other opinions so I can learn....;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Br2ram is what ever install sets it. I haven't made any changes. I also experience very slow refresh like hitting back to reload previous page. To get browser up to speed i have to exit and kill browser. These problems seemed to have started on latest update.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that a cubic is a default setting for the tf700t... You can go to the init.d folder and search for this line and change it back to cubic:

/system/xbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=cubic

You need to reboot your device for it to take an effect...:)

[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
What governor and scheduler do you recommend? When you say "optimize" are you also changing the actual settings for the governor itself?

There are various options and I assume it's a matter of finding one that works for your own needs out of the tablet. I currently use _that v7 as the kernel with the default options. My only issue that seems to have carried over after leaving stock is when playing music files or streaming music (ex: sound cloud or poweramp for mp3's). There are these random spots where the audio skips even though I have large enough cache buffers. In sound cloud the audio stream can be buffered 10+ min ahead of where the audio is actually playing and still experience these little skip/lag spots. I always thought it to be the internal memory speed but wondering if one of the I/O schedulers could help smooth those out. The audio plays fine and then the the interruptions happen in little series that are close together and then continue fine for a few minutes before happening again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
The default setting for the tf700t is ROW (Read over Write). I don't know if _that changes the setting on his kernel but you can check to see what is the setting for the scheduler.. I am very sure that the governor is interactive...:) If you like, I can create the preinit.d for you to try out to see if it helps.. There are a lot thing that could cause the issue that you are experienced but I don't have any of that issue by using Hund's kernel. Moreover, I don't think both Hund and _that are that much differences because they are based of stock...:) Please let me know if you want to test out the tweaks so I can prepare it for you to test drive...;)

Edit:

I did not answer your questions above...:(

I like the interactive governor because it gives me more response and user friendly..

ROW is not bad but under heavy load, it does not perform well.

Deadline is working very good over all but after I optimized the cfq, I like the cfq scheduler better because it seems to run smoother and give me more control how I want it to run...:)

I/O read ahead buffer size

since you guys are kind of on the subject of i/o...

i was looking thru TricksterMod today and noticed that under "I/O Control - Read Ahead Buffer Size" is showing: 2048KB (Scheduler is set to row).

i believe in past releases it has always showed 4096. it is also set to 2048 in the system folder: /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

even the change log shows 4096

am i missing something here? if not should i change it to 4096?

i'm running v5.2.2 without rom2sd or data2sd, just the basics: fsync disabled, GPU rendering

thanks :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes it should have changed to 4096. If it reporting 2048 that might mean the init.d scripts are not running.

Both _that and Hund has their kernel settings for mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 for 2048. You change the mmcblk0 to 4096 which is the number that I like...:) How about the mmcblk1? Should you also add this for your external SD? :)
