Google an Google voice keyboard

Is there some trick to getting the Google or voice keyboard to work?

I have them selected in the input settings but cannot activate them from the " globe or Mic" on the default keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Nice look forward to the update :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
I tested it with the setting and the device kept the music stream going and downloaded two 300+mb files at the same time while the screen was shut off. I guess functions that are already in process when the screen goes off and the tablet would normally go into sleep are kept active until they end.

This made me wonder if the tablet would consider itself "plugged" in when attached to the dock since it is a source of power. After an hour of it it attached I turned it on and the WiFi was off and took about 10 seconds to reconnect. This weekend I'll keep track of percentages of drainage using this setting when connected to the dock. This is where my drain shows and I'd like to see the setting affects things.

I could just turn on/off the WiFi but this is a neat little automated option to use when plugged in to a constant power source and then switch to a bit more battery saving when unplugged. It's pure laziness on my part and why not use the function if it is there. Society is slowly moving toward the future like in Wall-E with hovercrafts and displays right in front of us. I've already seen the mobility scooters where people have mounted 7'' tablets.

I think I set the value of dirty_expire_centisecs far too high it was much better before.

I'm just trying to record the stock kernel defaults and then I can look at the optimal values (if they need changing).
[Asus Transformer TF700] elesbb:
Im not sure what to do to stop them. Has it happened again after formatting the /data partition? I'll see if i can find the "settings" file and delete it to restore its values. I really don't know what is going on with that. Its very strange.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terrbear1:
Same issue for me after a full wipe and a reflash with the Google keyboard selected.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah I have it as a known bug and I think I have a fix. Just need to test it first ;) It does eventually let you set it as default it's just after a clean install it won't see it for some reason.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Blanked out the lines in your init.d script and read the default values. dindt find any line editing dirty_writeback_centisecs.

dirty_background_ratio = 30

dirty_ratio = 99

dirty_expire_centisecs = 1000
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Interesting as I did the same thing on that v7 and came back with :

/proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio = 20

/proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio = 5

/proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs = 200

/proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs = 500

keyboard & google voice

I had the same problem until 5.2.3 and 5.2.4. I'm using Thumb Keyboard. and it still will come up with no MIC icon occasionally. When that happens I just switch to one of the other Thumb keyboards and it usually shows up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikerla:
My issue is not the Mic Icon being missing mine is there. When i press it nothing happens. Same thing when I change the keyboard to the Google keyboard with the globe on the left. I select the Google keyboard and no change, i end up with the ASUS keyboard - I think.

One other thing I just noticed. I can't set the default keyboard to Google from settings menu. The option gets selected to change to the Google keyboard but changes ball to the Asus keyboard after it returns back to the keyboard settings screen.

Wifi download problem

5.2.4 with _thatv7, fsync off, nothing else.(and I love it!)

I've noticed a problem with downloads when there are multiple scheduled, like when resuming from sleep and multiple updates are attempting to download/install. (I don't have Wifi on when the TF700 sleeps)

The TF700 seems to get "constipated" when there are multiple updates scheduled. The small downloading arrow in the notification bar just goes on forever unless I go to MYApps and cancel the updating one or ones. No bits are accumulating when I look at the update. I can stop the ones updating and If I immediately try to update only one then, it will get stuck again. Later on in an hour or two, everything goes back to normal and everything updates.

I've got a good b.g.n AC access point and six other tabs/pc;s working fine on it, so don't think I have a wireless problem.

Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
It's been reported previously that apps updating seems to bog down the TF700. You might want to consider turning off automatic updates and when you get a notification you have some, pick a time to install them when you aren't using the tablet.

I've also seen it reported that using a rom2sd install helps with the getting bogged down issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It maybe in the past that there was bog down when updating apps or games. However, it is almost no lag at all except when it is installing for 1 or 2 seconds of lags...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
"except when it is installing for 1 or 2 seconds of lags...". I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
What I meant is when you click on the update then the app is downloading. When it is done with downloading then it is installing or writing to your internal sd. So during those processes, you don't notice any lags at all except when it is installing to your internal sd for about 1 or 2 seconds is the most.. I hope that helps...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
I have seen this also when downloading single apps that I initiate. I will cancel the download and restart it after seeing the bar moving but no data transfer. My thought is an issue on Google's end with a network center getting over loaded with user requests. I notice in the afternoons till after 11pm anything Google related like the Playstore or YouTube just has poor connection quality. YouTube is constantly buffering unless I switch to standard definition and Playstore downloads max at about 300kb but average 150kb. Yet in the mornings YouTube works just fine and app downloads are in the 2mb range. I will see the same things on my cell phone also when using the mobile network. Had to check if it was my internet by testing with the mobile network.

I was wondering if anyone had the pictures that show up on the background of every flash file. Like the kernel updater file had a different background. If anyone does have these please post link or email them to ciichurch@gmail.com.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I have them ;). Whether I have kept them all in one place is another matter.......
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
5.3 will improve the lags caused by updating or installing from the play store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
A while back, johnlgalt found out that if you wake up your tablet from deep sleep, your wifi stays in a low power state and can not get back to the full power for your antena..:( So you have a minimal internet speed until you switch the wifi off and on again in order to gain the full internet bandwidth.. The second solution is to uncheck the wifi optimization in the wifi advance settting and set your wifi off during sleep. There is a post about the solution on this issue some where in this thread....Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Cool beans Hund's must have different values. I have noticed unresponsiveness has decreased after blanking out the 3 lines editing dirty_ratio, dirty_background_ratio, and dirty_expire_centisecs in your init.d script. I still don't think it is as good as 5.2.3 though. I will try out your values and do some more testing this weekend when I have a few hours to spend picking that article apart. Cool find by the way its a great article.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I bet you are looking in the wrong place. ;)

Once you flash, About Tablet only tells you something about the firmware you have installed. To determine your bootloader, boot into it and read the tiny script.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
There were some changes in 5.2.4 that have resulted in laggy playstore updates/behaviour. May be part of it.

Try LetMeKnows advice regarding the advanced wifi options. I have wifi optimization off and keep wifi off during sleep and I never run into the wifi issues.

all the best,

[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Hi friends, as a new user of this ROM, I have one question to ask, mainly to moderate my expectation and I would appreciate if someone can help me answer. I first flashed this ROM with version 5.2.3, _thatv7 kernel with all the default choices in aroma with no extreme tweaks like disabling fsync or Data2SD. With that setup, compared to stock, the performance was obviously better and the stock browser performed more reliably. Having said that, I could still make the tablet lag here and there or see the dreaded "browser not responding" error message if I opened websites with flash or tried to multitask lightly (nothing much, just youtube, adobe reader and the browser). The app drawer could also lag when swiping between pages. Then I decided to try disabling fsync and the performance is significantly better than the previous setup. The app drawer is with minimal lag now and will only lag when I have a lot of apps running. However, I can still get the browser to ANR with a few yahoo news articles, youtube, adobe reader and facebook desktop site. My question is: is all this common behavior from such configuration of the ROM? Is the tablet still laggy with fsync enabled? Initially, I was hoping that I wouldn't need to do things like disabling fsync to get rid of the browser ANR error because I followed the development section since scrosler was still making CleanROM and he didn't disable fsync to make the browser functional, or at least that is my understanding.

Sorry for my long and rather incoherent post, and please do not think that I'm comparing different developers, all I need is just some perspective and advice on how to improve my tablet's performance..
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
It's like Asus does not want you to know what bootloader you are using. Anyone got a microscope? :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Maybe, you misunderstood what I tried to say...:) What I really want to say is that if you have the same hardware or device and using the same ROM, so we should have the same results. If one does not have a problem and the other has an issue, then somethings are not correct in the setup. I just want to let Immohr4 to go back and check to see the problem is so he/she can fix it...:) That is all and hope that helps..

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

What kinds of details do you want to know? I think that the bug is in the wifi optimization...:) If you look in the source code for that module, you may find the bug... It is a nice concept to save power that Asus has it in the tf700 but the bug is really annoying and causing frustrations in user experiences..

I have had a lot of success getting rid of broswer lag (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588369). If i have a good connection everything is pretty much instantaneous and lag free. No waiting for rendering, rendering errors, choppiness, and crashes due to overload.

You (or [MENTION=2155137]johnlgalt[/MENTION]) said "it stays in a low power mode" ... how do you know? Is there a sysfs file to read the power state?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
No, johnlgalt found out that the wifi dropped from 20+Mbps to 100kps after waking up the device from sleep. I did research and found out the information about the power level of the wifi antenna from google search. When I did a google search for the information about the wifi optimization on the tf700, it linked me to the tegra questions and answer data base, I believed.. Let me try to search again to see if I can get that information... I will let you know what I find out.. I don't have any hard information from sysfs files or log files from our device...:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
I've used a magnifying glass.

Perhaps I mis-spoke...I didn't cancel the downloads, just stopped them, friend.. It's a bug, not a complaint. 5.2.4 is gorgeous for me
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
I know what you meant. :D That is why I have suggested not allowing PS to automatically update and selecting a time when to just let all the updates happen at once. I've awaken my device after a day or two and found 20 + updates waiting to install. Some of these app developers drop an update every time they sneeze. :p

Some slightly larger text would be nice. My old eyes don't work as well as they used to.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dlbarron:
During the install of this ROM I have tried selecting some of the non-stock kernels and whenever I do it fails to finish booting. I get the the boot logo, whichever one I choose, and it hangs. I left it ther for 45 minutes this morning and it never got past there. But as long as I stay with the stock kernel it works great.

Other than that one issue, and the fact that it can't be a newer version of Android I love CROMi.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Are you setting the ov / uv tweak on setup? Sometimes UV have been known to cause some hangs. Try kicking up the OV a bit and see if that helps you over the hump.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Strange, there are no reason why you shouldn't be able to use them. Can you post the log that you can save at the end of the flash to see what other options were chosen please. Maybe you found a weird combination that doesn't work?

I'm not sure how to do that or what tweak you are referring to.

[Asus Transformer TF700] dlbarron:
What screen asks if I want to save a log? and "the same folder you flashed" doesn't make much sense to me either since I'm flashing in recovery, CWM if that makes any difference.

More detail for a dummy, please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You know when you flash the ROM in CWM, at the very end it asks you if you want to save the log - please say yes and you will see a .txt file in the same folder as the ROM.zip - upload it ;)

Well I was never really happy with 5.2.4 so you'll be getting version 5.3 tomorrow ;) It has many fixes and tweaks as listed below. Priority is stability now. Although these tweaks will produce an extra 400 points in Quadrant on average ;)

elesbb and I have made some progress with the cromi control issues. For now I would recommend you don't use it - hopefully we'll have a patch out soon to make it safe again. If you do end up in a bootloop the only known fix right now is a data format.

Somehow today I was able to enable my tablet to boot dual Roms. I even booted my laptop into Linux with a usb stick and followed the directions to partition the sd-card. It was easy enough to test the dual ROM boot by just pulling the sd-card and rebooting. Question - is there any way to test the data2sd to see if that is setup correctly?

I'm no whiz, but I can follow instructions. Thank you for your help.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes the tree has been chopped down! :cowboy:

If it boots it is setup :)

Look for the /datai folder - if it is in existence then data2sd or rom2sd is running the data partition form the micro sd card ;)

Same experience on the 300. It just does some things better than the 700. It was pointed out a year ago if asus had used a dedicated io chip it would do all these things so much better. I hope this is fixed on new 701 because it has even a higher Res.

Understand all. However, like [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] has noted, prior to my TF700, I had the Prime, and it did not seem to have the problems with the browser hanging while updating apps in the background through Google Play. Additionally, when I noticed the browser hang was the longest/most severe, I was not even LOADING a webpage, only scrolling down, which should be accessing RAM, not the data partition, therefore, with the amount of RAM this tablet has, those two functions should not have had any collision issues. That in itself is more cause for concern than had the hang occurred while a page was loading. Confirm or deny?

@LetMeKnow My son does on occasion. I haven't messed around with CROMI using Hund's Kernel at all. For my purposes, the tablet flies. One of these days I may try out the ET version with Hund's but for now, I'm enjoying the ROM as is.

Just curious.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Could it be that the RAM was already full and thus the browser was actually removed from RAM, and paged to the very bad I/O?

I wasn't wanting the default Asus onscreen keyboard when not using the dock.* I like the split layout that thumb keyboard has and the other little tweaks that can be done to it.* I included a screen shot of it. In the previous versions of the the rom and with stock I was able to uncheck the Asus keyboard.* Or at the very least once I set the onscreen keyboad of my choice it would stay set as default. Something must have lingered or caused the Asus one to reset as default when I was detaching it from the dock or rebooting.* It cleared up when I did a total wipe and clean install last night.* It still shows the option to uncheck the Asus keyboard grayed out but it isn't reverting to that selection as default now. :D

SuperUser works fine and is the most commonly used SU apps. I have used it exclusively for the past year with any issues. You can uninstall it and use another if you wish. I don't want to change to another app unless they bring some other benefit?

Finally got around to upgrade from 4.6 to 5.0 last night, the new installation was very proffesional looking! After the update everything seems noticable fast. I had to big issues when running 4.6, when going out of Dolphin Brower to home screen, it could take 10-15 seconds for the screen to populate icons again, and when waking the device up, it could take 10 seconds for the home screen to pop up as well. Aside from that it was smooth sailing for the most part.

Oddly enough, Dolphin Browser seems more laggy again on 5.0, could just be it needs to settle, but last night I had the dreded "does not respons, wait or close" screen again for the first time since running stock. Hopefully it just needs setteling in, as everything else is very responsive now.

Did you install b2r and cache2sd? Try the stock browser how does that feel?

Completely open source, plus when asking for su privileges, you have the option for a one time grant privileges or forever. Therefore no ads, and completely free.

There is no paging on the TF700 unless you explicitly enable it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
I did not have time to test it much last night, will test more today to see how it performs. I used the browser2ram or what it's called, it's a option during installation and claims to speed up browsing. Aside fromt that I used _That kernel without B2R as I though that was the safes option.

Did not test the stock browser, I love Dolphin browser since it's so easy to access bookmarks. But I will give the stock browser a go if Doplhin is still laggy and see how it compares.

Aside from that, overall the experience was a very pleasent surprise and I cant grasp how you can go from suchs a horrible stock performance to this on the same hardware! Very nice work Sbdags!
