Thanks, it may sound strange but this will be a good learning experience.

BUT, i'm open to suggestions...anyone :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Create your custom init.cardhu.rc and add these lines:

# Default Read Ahead value for sdcards

write /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/rotational 0

write /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/rotational 0

write /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb 4096

write /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/read_ahead_kb 6144

Add it in your preinit.d folder so it will load your custom init.cardhu.rc instead of the default init.cardhu.rc from the kernel...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mikmock:
thanks, i'll give that a try :good:

Still waiting for my Infinity to come back from Asus. Is thatv7 kernel the default kernel on 5.2.2?
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoCream:
Hey guys a question with using this ROM. I work a lot with flickr and wordpress (both via web access and not the ****ty apps). Can anyone recommend the best settings (kernel, mods) so that the responsiveness will increase? Currently I'm on 5.2.1 and usibg WordPress or Flickr (web version) is a pain (slow responsiveness)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jpin321:
So can someone help me with some info. Im close to getting rid of this tablet. Ive had this since release and on paper it looks fast. But in reality no amount of tweaking seems to get rid of the lag and lockups. I don't have a super fast sd card and dont plan to get one. So is everyone experiencing lag or do i just have a lemon?
[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
i have gotten 5.2.2 with rom2sd using thats kernel, what would be the best way to get to hunds kernel? I want to see if the speed of hunds is there for me.

thanks for any help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Is your device unlocked? If it is, then you can try Cromi 5.2.2 + Hund ET to see if it helps...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jpin321:
Yea im unlocked running 5.2.2 with _That v7 oc at 1.8. Still lags and hangs all the time. Wondering if im just missing a tweak or mod somewhere that others are using. I might add its much better than it was the day i brought it home thanks to the community of devs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Try using ROM2SD or Data2SD. I am getting great performance so far. Check out my guide to tweaking and optimization for detailed instructions on how to setup ROM2SD/Data2SD and a list of some of the other tweaks I am using.

Best of luck,

Lucius
[Asus Transformer TF700] jpin321:
Id like to unfortunately I don't have a good enough sd card for that, and don't have plans to get one. Is that the only mod that really makes a difference?
[Asus Transformer TF700] geniv:
how stable is going the ROM2/SD and Data2SD route?

I'm currently on 5.2.2 with the "stock asus kernel" and it seems alot snappier than the stock non-rooted regular ROM.

It is pretty stable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I find using Hund's 3.4.2 with my tweaks, fsync disabled, forced GPU rendering, and keeping a clean system without garbage apps is good enough to get by without lag. You should not have to run your tablet from a microSD but it can help for reducing lag while doing heavy read/write tasks.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

I have been using ROM2SD with Hund's 3.4.2 kernel for a couple of weeks and I havent had any stability issues whatsoever. Honestly you should drop the stock asus kernel for _that's or Hund's kernel. That will have a bigger impact on performance than ROM2SD. You should be able to have a lag-free experience without using ROM2SD if you tweak your tablet correctly. Here is a link to my guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232715
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, now you have a few options that you could try...:) You can pick one and try it out.. If you it does not work out for you, then you pick the next one until you are satisfied...;) Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

I was trying to install those apps so I could test them out for you but they asked for registrations. I am too lazy to do that, haha...:) What is your current setup? What kinds of slow responsiveness that you are talking about? Can you elaborate a little more details?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If your tab lags and hangs on 5.2.2 with any kernel I would investigate my setup. Start with a clean install of the rom, add your apps a few at a time and find out when and why the lag starts.

I can almost guarantee you, it's something you are running, a slow or corrupted microSD, something like that ....

The rom on a clean install should be snappy as hell - have you tried it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] geniv:
hmm.. I've already installed the ROM with the asus kernel during the installation options. I've already spent 5 hours installing and configuring my apps.

is there a way I can switch the kernal to for_that's or Hund's kernel without having to reinstall rom and all my apps/setting?

I really don't know the extra features and or stability or battery life of the different kernels. can you quickly explain?

I initially use the for_that OC but I did the "reboot" from the CROMI app and my OS corrupted forcing me to reinstall so I was scrared to use them the second time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Be sure you make backups so that you can easily recover from mistakes or unforeseen issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I can't say how well _thats kernel works as I have not used it in a while. You should be able to flash CROMi-X over your current setup and simply select a different kernel. You shouldnt lose your apps, etc. Just make sure you take a nandroid backup through TWRP first. You can always restore if things aren't working properly. Wiping and restoring takes less than 15min.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Christoff_:
I'm having this proble too with _that 7. Sdbags mentioned it might be because I picked battery uv and I should maybe select battery ov. That being said I haven't had an issue on balanced mode. Performance mode seems fine if I'm not doing a lot of things at once and don't have a lot of tabs open
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The kernel is very stable (I've achieved uptime without rebooting > 1000 hours), but if you undervolt, you are on your own.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
There is a kernel installer I believe on the 3rd post but it appears to not have been updated with the latest _that's kernels.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
I have had the occasional freeze/lockup on internal and Rom2SD installs - 5.2.2, that v7, fsync enabled. Each time, free RAM had gone below 100 MB - usually between 50-70. Usually happens when using browser, Flipboard, or other internet app. I have now installed Android Tuner and set OOM to Aggressive, so we will see if that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
You can just limit background tasks in developer options to see if that helps. I disliked this because it killed my browser windows, but it would certainly keep things more tidy for you while you test.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the information...:good: My RAM never go lower than 400MB or around 500MB to be exact...:) Maybe, I am not a heavy users like you..:)

BTW, I still remember that I owe you a few old tweaks that I found. I have been a little busy lately..:o I will post them up shortly..

Update:

ENFORCE_PROCESS_LIMIT=true

MAX_SERVICE_INACTIVITY=6

MAX_ACTIVITIES= 4

MIN_HIDDEN_APPS=1

MAX_HIDDEN_APPS=3

I have not used these tweaks for a long time and forgot what are the reasons...:( I think that I found a better methods to control the memory..:)

Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

When ive used wordpress, i dont notice a lot of difference between my desktop and tablet. Can you possibly click the same page on tablet and notebook or desktop at the same time? I would expect flicker could be somewhat slow due to data transfers. Is there a big difference?

Just curious where the slow down might be. I have a theory that because of the intimacy of the tablet that we end up thinking things are a lot slower on tablet.

[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoCream:
My setup is: Cromix 5.0.1 with _thats kernel 4+ and B2R

I'm browsing with Chrome Browser. And the webpages for flickr (www.flickr.com) and wordpress have lag when using them (in comparison with my desktop). Like when I am trying to edit a WordPress site in the admin view everything is a bit slower. Like selecting a menu or creating a new site. And I am using the normal desktop view on my tablet. Flickr is maybe slow due to the high traffic and the slow internal memory? Any tweaks or setting that can speed this up?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lchiu7:
i just installed this ROM (DEODEX version) having just come from stock.

I hadn't realised there would be so many configuration options and choices during the startup and so I guessed and accepted the highlighted choice most of time. So I guess I am running with the standard kernel and most other fancy tweaks off.

Be that as it may, so far after an hour or so, performance seems much snappier than the stock JB I was using apart from some lag in Chrome which I am experiencing at the moment.

As an aside I presume the Google camera doesn't work that well? I do miss the Panoramic camera.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Websites with heavy html5 or flash will never be quite as responsive as they are on a nice desktop, gotta adjust your expectations accordingly. However, you shouldn't get much lag if things are running as efficiently as possible. I don't use wordpress or flickr but I am able to use facebook, evernote, google drive, and youtube over the web in desktop mode without getting any more lag than I do on my old laptop or the mac mini I use at work. Everything else should pretty much load and respond instantly. I would say that streaming flash videos and all other browsing is actually nicer on my tablet than my roommates new macbook pro. Things are insanely responsive, I really want to make a video showing you guys, I absolutely love it. I actually can make vids now that I have a camera and a roommate to hold it for me lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Seems to work. I rolled OOM back to medium and can now use Flipboard for extended periods without the tab locking up. Free RAM stayed above 120 MB. A couuple of times, as RAM got low, Flipboard closed a page and went back to home page, but NBD, stopping the lockups is a huge plus Many thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am glad that it works out for you..:good: You can play around with the numbers to see if you can get a better results, good luck....:fingers-crossed:

[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Is this what you mean? It was written by sbdags in his mini-c rom. Here's his description,

"If you want to backup and restore to your ROM2SD setup flash the following file first in TWRP as it shifts TWRP to see the microsd as internal. Flash it again to return back to internal. All credits to _that for that ;)"

I used to think the same thing about Chrome. Then, I bought the Moto X this week ... wow ... Chrome flies. This is how Google intended Chrome to work on mobile, obviously.

The problem has something to do with all of the devices out there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Agreed, it is fast on my LG G2 also.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Christoff_:
Yeah I've been fine on balanced mode thus far. I may re-flash and try it without uv. Will _that 7 cause a noticeable difference in battery life? Should I bother with ov?

Chrome is aright but I agree the stock browser is the best. It does seem to crash a lot though. Normal for everyone else? I like the "save for offline reading" feature. I know pocket does this but it's nice to have it built in to the app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Mine never crashes. Which websites?
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Had another freeze today while on ROM2SD, plenty of RAM, not even browsing internet. I am back to internal ROM for now.

[Asus Transformer TF700] endariel:
guys i need to ask, are you experiencing EXTREME slugginess? There are entire minutes i can't literally do aything on my tab, it just doesn't respond, it kinda freezes for long time.

What should i do about it?

It doesn't look like it has a pattern, it may work flawlessy with many apps opened or freezes with just the browser on...

Multitasking feels often very slow, it's never snappy as it should be with a 4-core processor, and OC didn't improve actually a thing.

I'm on cromix 5.2 w/ hunds kernel
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Just wondering if you noticed any Play store updates going on at the time. That's the one big killer on my TF700, unfortunately.

Boot looping on ROM2SD install

I'm obviously doing something wrong trying ROM2SD, somebody please give me a hint as to what it is.

I've formatted the SD card with 3 partitions. 16gb fat32, 12gb ext4, 800mb ext4.

I've tried various methods of installation, the most recent, and the one that got the farthest was;

Install CromiX internally as ROM2SD compatible, dirty flash over existing 5.2.2.

Reboot into CromiX

Back into TWRP, reinstall CromiX, this time as ROM2SD.

Reboot system.

The external ROM boots (I set them up with different boot animations, so I know which one is starting), it gets to the first setup screen where it asks which language I want use. As soon as I touch the 'Next' button the tab reboots. After that it continually reboots part way the boot process, never getting to a setup screen again.

If I remove the SD Card the internal ROM boots correctly.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] endariel:
app updates cause the worst freezes, but those are not the only cause for slugginess... it's just the way the rom feels, it's not snappy at all and i just don't get it...

Another really bad thing is screen rotation, it always take at least 4-5 secs to happen!
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
In the past when I've been on hunds, i would have this happen. A reboot would fix it.

Hahaha, I hear a lot of complains or whines about the heat issue but not lags on Hund's kernel..:crying: Did you do a clean install or dirty? Did you restore some bad backup from TB or nandroid which could cause the laggy issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] endariel:
first i upgraded from previous version, but the issues (i had them in previous versions too) didn't go away, so i decided to wipe everything again (obv i did a full wipe on first install of cromix) and make a clean install of the 5.2. I don't use TB since the app sync function native of the google play store is fine for me and i don't need much of my app data. Never had to restore nandroid, luckily
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Have you tried a different setup like _that v7 or even ET on Hund? It should not be that sluggish that you described earlier. My combo is running very well even with google store updating...:) I guess that something is incorrect settings or you have too high of expectations on this tf700t...:) You can do a quick test by installing the Hund ET v1.5 to see if it works better...:) You still need to have the ET build.prop for it to run at the optimal speed but it is a dirty test to see the differences or helps...Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Are you saying that even on a clean install, with nothing restored yet, you have the sluggishness (screen rotation taking seconds etc.)?

Have you tried a different kernel? Maybe your tablet doesn't like Hunds - mine doesn't either. After a week on Hunds mine feels as if it's "clogging" up, getting slower and more erratic. A reboot fixes it for a while... I stick with _that kernels now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Arachnida:
Good night my friends,

My tablet was fully functional running cromi 5.1 until two days ago when my brother borrowed it and downloaded "battlefield 4 something" to play from the play store... He gave it back discharged so when I charged it, it booted and then the google nexus animation froze and rebooted. That happened a few times until I decided to wipe cache and dalvik which didn't help at all. I then proceeded to try my backup file which it failed... And then I recurred to my last option, factory reset and I downloaded the 5.2.2 version and installed... Still the same happening. It gets to the booting animation and then freezes and reboots.

I have 2.6.1.0 recovery and 5.2.2 installed.

Bootloader version: US 10.6.1.14.10

Can anyone help me please? Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It sounds like you have a corrupted data partition...:) You may want to Format your data, not wipe data, then restore your backup..:) It should be up and running again...:victory:

You need to move your personal stuff to your external SD because you will loose everything on your data partition...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Arachnida:
Thanks a lot my friend :) tablet is running fine again!
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Try _thatv7 kernel - Hunds can make the CPU run hot, which can trigger throttling of the CPU. The behavior you describe is not normal. Other possible solution is to re-install after FORMAT DATA - i.e., format the internal SD (REMOVES ALL DATA, SO BACKUP FIRST).

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes you have a remnant from a previous installation left over. Probably because you used browser2ram at some point.

So either :

1. you need to do a clean install / full wipe to clean up your remnants as per the instructions if you have troubles

OR

2. Go to /data/data and look for com.android.chrome or com.chrome.beta and remove those directories. If you can't remove them try doing it from inside TWRP or turn off b2r first as it is locking these locations.......

Then try installing it and it will work.

:rolleyes: :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
My bad :( I have updated my other device, a Nook Color today as well. The instructions were mentioned there. Then, on my TF700 when I found a gapps zip in the sdcard folder where I typically put the ROMs, I mistakenly thought this is needed here as well.

However, I tried what you told me earlier and this worked like charm.

Plug in and turn on

I have noticed that when the tablet is off, if I plug it in to the charger or keyboard, it will turn on. This is annoying because if I am not planning to use it, I have to wait for it to boot up and then shut it down. I ran my battery for 24 hours because I didn't know that happened. Is there any fix to this?

Hey guys and gals - love the new ROM and it works fast and flawless .... as usual. The excellence is getting kinda repetitive ;)

I do have one small problem though - the Cromi app is not working for me. I make the changes I want - i.e. turn off the card notifications then it asks for me to reboot.

I do and the changes don't stick. Occasionally it does stick but when I reboot it disappears.

Running 5.01 and hunds kernal. Nothing else special. I don't think anyone else has id'd this problem - at least I couldn't find any thread.

It almost seems like a problem I had with Trickster - if you reboot too soon after making the changes - the changes get lost as they are still in cache???

Anyway - any help would be appreciated.
