[Asus Transformer TF700] thelaman:
5.1 has been my main driver since it was released and am generally pleased. Quadrant score 6144. Very smooth and snappy. No lag.

Just one thing that I have noticed is really poor battery life. In general, I found CROMi roms as well as stock to have good battery life. Somewhere around 4.6x it really went south.

I have to recharge nightly now. Anyone else have this issue? I am runnding _that kernel. I usually have it in balanced mode with wifi on 24/7

Cheers1
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
Which _that kernel are you using? If you are using _that v5, that is an overclock kernel. If you've selected the 1518 version, then even in balanced mode you would be running your cpu at 1500. That would use more battery. Try _that's v5 kernel with the 1318 setting. You'd still have the 1800 cpu if you need it when you switch to performance mode, but normal day to day operations would be a more battery friendly 1300. Things run very smooth with this setup and I don't find very many instances where I go to performance mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i'll give it a whirl, but been playing with my new N10 so need to charge the Infinity up first. i will say that i had no issues with not waking up from the Keyboard with this setting checked.

when you say you "haven't lost a single %" what is your battery %-age? where is your battery at?

iirc, for me, everything seemed OK, battery-drain-wise, until the first time my tablet hit's 70% when docked and then all hell breaks loose.

can you use your tab un-plugged until it hits 70% and then see what happens? or did you see massive drain when fully charged (>70%) & docked?

i'll report back on what i see tomorrow.

8 hour results with no use....Pad/Key - 4:06pm 76/99, 9:29pm 90/50, 12:55am 81/45.

Still getting horrible drain. I'm going to have to just use the keyboard when I need it for now... :(

Yes, but only when needed. The minimum frequencies are the same in all modes.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Interested in this as my finger is getting itchy for a new device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ok this didn't work for me either :(

left it overnight on dock 22% and tab 77%. After 8 hours it was dock 0% and tab 34%.....

Back to the drawing board.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Wow - you aren't kidding - that *is* a terrible drain! Geez... So does this only happen after the dock starts charging the tablet? I think that I remembered someone saying that it doesn't become a problem until the tablet goes down to a 70% charge (which I believe is when the dock starts charging the battery) - it's almost like once that happens, all bets are off...

I'll try to do some more testing using that scenario. Usually, I keep my devices charged up pretty high, so maybe that's why I don't see this drain - maybe it really is there, but I just don't normally reach the levels where it becomes a problem...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No I deliberately left myself above 70%. Normally if I left it at undocked at 77% I would not expect it to have gone below 70%

I believe the dock keeps the tab awake (no deep sleep) forcing it to lose power then compounded by the dock kicking in to recharge it below 70%

Rinse and repeat.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] snifferno:
Adobe Flash Player on Dolphin browser

Someone got this to work on Cromix 5.1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Oh yeah, you did say that your tab was @ 77% when you started - my bad.

Do you recall what your battery levels were at during your first (successful) test?
[Asus Transformer TF700] greatwhovian:
Third time it's happened since using exposed framework on this ROM.

For some reason all is fine after a clean install and setup of GravityBox and after a few days the tablet goes on a bootloop after a random reboot. Or it crashes and reboots by itself then goes on the bootloop.

Is this going on with some other users or am I the only one having this issue?

I'm using Hunds kernel ET build.

Flashing rom again!...
[Asus Transformer TF700] snifferno:
That happen for me to, had to reinstall 2X
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
For my first test I had dock at something like 90% and tab was at 85%
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
We could just be hoping for too much here although I haven't had any bootloops for a while now. The ROM is now starting to allow a serious amount of permutations of tweaks. Maybe they are not all compatible together.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
My thinking also. Hund's ET + Xposed and Gravity Box + who knows what else may not be a good combination....

If you have bootloops you may want to go back to a more "vanilla" set of kernel and tweaks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] schidddy:
here some scores about the tablet and they are pretty mucht he same as my scores i have done with the tablet:

I've got the RODAR (Rebuilding Of the Dalvic After Reboot) syndrome too. Am I to understand this is only a problem with the Deodexed version of CROMi? I installed that version. Do I have to reflash Odexed version of 5.1 to clear up this prob? What's wrong with the Deodexed version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Have you restored any apps (not data) from an old TB backup? I had 1 odex app that caused a problem like that...

[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Is there something that can be done to fix this recurring bug? The 'Turning on Silent Mode' message is often stuck on my screen. I have noticed it on every version of CROMi - maybe even stock. I bet it`s an Asus bug.

Thank you! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MHotovec:
I agree. In my experience the most stable ROMs are the 'stock debloated' type where the primary objective is simply to remove bloat and get a slight speed increase. Whereas the ones that tend to have the most problems are the 'cool' ROMs with tons of modifications and/or tweaks that the users can do. It's bound to happen that as more and more 'tweaks' are brought in that some of them are going to conflict and cause problems for a certain percentage of users. Especially when you start bringing in mods from the outside like those from Xposed. Each dev that writes an Xposed module does things his way, which could conflict with other Xposed modules, or even with the tweaks that the ROM dev originally did to the ROM. You now, in effect, have several people working on the same ROM, but not talking to each other in any way, and not doing any testing together. That sounds just like the recipe for a bootloop (or worse) to me.

Volume Low Fix?

Got my d2sd issues sorted, thanks for the assistance! I came to this ROM primarily to solve i/o and volume being waaay too low on mkv/mp4 video files (too low to make them watchable on a plane, which just about destroys my use of this device). Any suggestions? I've flashed X-Loud, tried playing with random settings, and gone back through the thread to no avail. I realize there are some non-ROM specific ways to address but wanted to start here (and am assuming that the X-Loud option at install has some way of making a difference?). Thanks for any assistance, this ROM has breathed new life into my shelved TF700 (just got too laggy!). Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
^^Strangely, it seems that some TF700's are quieter than others. In my case, it's generally loud enough, but for some movies, I still like to make it louder and I do so with Dice Player - not only does it allow you to amplify the volume (100%, 200%, 300%, etc), but it is also the best video player out there - it will play movies that all others stutter on! Might want to give it a shot for your movie playing volume problems!
[Asus Transformer TF700] aleitch:
I don't believe so. I have always flashed the deodexed version when available and 5.1 is the first to have this problem. Others have reported it as well but I haven't seen an explanation or a fix yet..... at least one this old timer has been able to wrap his mind around. :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] Malaclypse5:
Thanks! At 400% I think it's viable (wishing for a 500% option, and yes my hearing is otherwise just fine :)) I had been using MXPlayer which went to 200%, still interested if there is anything to be done at the base rather than app level, but this is a huge help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nomad10002:
Louder volume.

Malaclypse5, use volume + it works great. Volume is tooooo loud now for me.

I've wondered about this as well. I used to play around a lot more but for some time now I've stayed fairly conservative. I do use thats5 and btr and that is about it. Fsync is currently on but i had no problem with it off. I do use xposed. A couple of small quirks that i think might be xposed and if they were chronic i would uninstall it.

Ive been very stable for a long time.

I wonder that it might be better to cut way down on the performance options with basic install package and a "experimental" for tweakers.

Newbies would not get so confused and possibly get in less difficulties. So often forum deals with the same problems over and over. Adaway is one such option that causes a lot of problems if not uninstalled correctly and even some when it is. Let users find it on their own if they want to use it.

Keep up the great work,

Thanks

I just installed the free version of Volume+. So, this works even though the pop up at start says the extension is intended for Gingerbread?

Thank you.

I have been having trouble installing this into my tf700t, the 5.1a install failed, the process all wnet through, booted, started doing the apps, finished, and the final step it locked up, i tried it several times with both 5.1a and the 5.0 i had but the 5.0 gave me the same problem, not sure whats going on. i had 5.0 runnning on it before i did any of this so idk whats wrong, i think my downloads might of been bad i was doing allota stff when i did the download off the computer ast night and i did the first download inside the tablet so maybe that one got ****ed up some how, i am not sure. i'm re-attempting it now after re-downloading 5.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Wrong bootloader? What version are you on?
[Asus Transformer TF700] faustus1005:
Are you by chance copying the rom to an external sdcard? I believe someone else had a similar problem because thier sdcard was faulty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eviling:
idk about the boot loader but i had it running on the same version i tried to reinstal, with the same reslts. my last attempt of 5.1 landed me with a booted system, once unlocked, it had a benu bar, 1 or the 3 buttons were lit, the back, home, switch app button the switch app button being the only one that lit up, but none of the touch funtions seemed to work, only unlocked i think because i sed my dock and it unlocks when you open it, so i don't know. i just retried, it but it seems to be stuck on andoid is upgrading finishing boot, always gets stuck here unless i turn it off, than it gets stuck on the loader image. except the one time it worked last night but with no functions like i said. its unloacked, rooted and has twrp installed, i don't understand why it keeps failing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikerla:
I use DVD Catalyst 4 to boost volume when ripping. You can also do this with Handbrake which is free. I have not loaded any movies that I did not rip so I dont know if X-Loud is effective. Have you tried the noozxoidelabs in your app list that installs with the Chromi if you select x-loud?
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Great tip! Volume boost on Dice works great. Never knew about that feature.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eviling:
still hanging on finishing boot after install on 5.1a. i dont know what to do now i tried updating the bootloader but its still hanging.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You probably have to do a clean install = factory reset in TWRP. Just select 'Wipe' and swipe the button. Flash the rom again afterwards before you boot to system.

You will have to reinstall your apps, but your data will not be wiped.

If that doesn't help, you will have to format data. That would erase everything on your data partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eviling:
i dont know i got another clean rom to install no problem with the bootloader the thread provided. the bootloader i used for the 5.1a was the one on the side .10 i think, .4 is what im on now. i had tons of instabilitys though before so im liking the rom im on now much more and it has all my stuff still set up i never had to do a clean install

idk maybe ill stick with ths one for a min i still have one issue with the cameras flash and it keeps acting up when i run camera did it with the old rom too. didnt do it before i unlocked and did the modding.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
So you had "tons of instability" and just dirty flashed 5.1 over that.....

Don't know what you were coming from, but if it was anything but a CleanROM, you should have done a clean install.

No wonder you still have problems nobody else on this rom has..... But suit yourself.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Red-Hawk:

I'm sorry your attitude wasn't asked for. Neither was your condescending attitude. I was trying to resolve my instability. I still do not know why this rom won't work. But with the boot loader and rom from another thread I have no problems.

Don't attack me because you don't wanna admit this rom is a bit picky. I'm sorry I've ha nothing but problems with it. It was the first rom I tried on my tf700 and I think I've moved on. Defend your rom all you want. I spent hours trying to get this rom to install. I havnt filed with a custom rom in a year and a half. Last time I flashed a rom I used cwm.

Don't come at me. This is supposed to be a helpful place not a hostile one. Get off your high horse. I tried many many things. Wiping. Different sd cards and the ladder.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I must say, you are about the only one having these issues, so I don't think the ROM is "picky" at all - I think it has something to do with your setup or the process that you are using.

If you really want to run this ROM (I'd highly recommend it), do as others have said and completely wipe the device and do a clean install. If you wipe everything and have the correct bootloader, etc, then you won't have any issues (assuming you don't have a hardware issue). The problem is that you are trying to take the "easy" road and do "dirty" installs. Obviously, this has not worked out so well and you've spent more time that you would have if you did a clean install to begin with.

It's obvious that you are frustrated, but the people here really are tying to help - but you don't seem to want to take their advice and do things the "right" way. Like I said, you are the only one having these issues (that I'm aware of) - it must be something that you are (or aren't) doing....

Sometimes emails and thread posts can be taken the wrong way - I don't think anyone is being rude here. Trust me, this ROM is worth the effort to get it running properly.

Are you *really* interested (and willing) to accept the help that others have to offer in order to get this ROM up and running? If so, we would be glad to help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Goddly:
Not 1 single picky thing for me . Clean install is the way to go to get started. this ROM / dev is the best... hands down... for a rooted stock or any imho .. if you want brother, I can talk you through the whole process on gtalk. Or hangouts

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Back to the battery drain issue - is it possible that Asus is just reporting the battery levels inaccurately? If the folks that have this drain issue start with a fully-charged tablet and dock, does it still drain very quickly? I'm just wording if the battery level *gauges* go down more slowly at first and then go down faster at some point due to some software bug that makes it seem that there is a drain problem, but only when below a certain percentage.

Basically, I'm just wondering if there really isn't a drain issue at all - just an inconsistent/inaccurate battery level meter! I believe that when [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] did his initial test, his batter levels were pretty high (which appeared to be a successful test).

Since I normally keep my battery levels high, that would explain why I don't have the "drain" issue.

So can someone with the drain problem see if they still have the same issue when the battery levels are above 95%?

I think someone already found out that the dock wakelock is not released under certain circumstances, leading to the device not being able to deep sleep.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Malaclypse5:
I realize you've had a lot of replies - but I had similar strange behavior on my first go - things kept working in fact on hunds but not other kernels, and I would occasionally after a settings change get stuck at the same boot loop (super frustrating after thinking you have a stable install!).

For me, the solution was to go back to basics: clean wipe/flash the correct bootloader/re-gpart my sd card, double check my MD5's on files... now it works flawlessly. Also turned out the MD5 on a file I'm pretty sure I used for a bootloader flash previously was bad.

If you aren't backing out of the install to another ROM, I'd suggest you start fresh and clean across the board (flash bootloader, from recovery format and do factory wipe THEN REBOOT before installing, then install). GL
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Oh - I didn't realize we found the cause of this! I know that [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] was just testing another theory this week, so I just assumed that the cause was still "unknown".

Anyone - is it true that someone actually identified the cause of this??
