[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Yes, it is nice app but it only changes your internal sd scheduler, not the external SD...;)

If you use SIO scheduler, these are the optimizations that I used in the ET. It further improves your multitasking and improves your I/O too. Let me know if you have any questions...:)

Everyone else is using _that and using SIO scheduler. Feel free to test out. You should see some improvement...:)

# Internal SD Card - SIO

echo sio /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler

echo 512 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests

echo 16 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/fifo_batch

echo 3 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/writes_starved

echo 10 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/sync_read_expire

echo 20 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/sync_write_expire

echo 10 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/async_read_expire

echo 30 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/async_write_expire

# External SD Card - SIO

echo sio /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/scheduler

echo 512 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/nr_requests

echo 15 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/fifo_batch

echo 2 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/writes_starved

echo 10 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/sync_read_expire

echo 10 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/sync_write_expire

echo 10 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/async_read_expire

echo 10 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/iosched/async_write_expire

Let me know if you want more tweaks for _that's kernel...;)

Edit: Oops, when I used the "replace all", it replaced all the write with echo....:( Now, they are fixed..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Thanks for the info. Interestingly, SIO is not even an option in Trickster with _that v4 - would you recommend that I switch to _that v7 (assuming SIO is an option with v7)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
That was what I thought...:) I did not recall that _that's kernel supports SIO scheduler...:) Even with V7, I don't thinks that it supports it. You can request _that to add it in....Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

BTW, SIO is a simplified version of deadline scheduler which is aimed for SSD hard drive. So it should work better than the deadline or CFQ which are more for mechanical hard drive...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Would you still recommend the other tuning options specified above, even with _that using NOOP scheduler?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
This is the only one that I think it may help...:)

echo 512 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests

echo 512 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/nr_requests

There are rooms for improvements on the governor. Let me extract them from the ET so you can test them out. You should see battery and performance improvement for your governor optimizatons...:) Do you want to see some tweaks for multitasking too?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Maybe it's just my imagination, but my battery life seems to be much better since I froze the two "Mobile Network" apps under Settings->Apps->All apps...

Can anyone else confirm that it is making a difference?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Hmmm - just installed _that v7 kernel (using default ROW scheduler) and my TF700 now seems *significantly* faster! I know it's an OC kernel, but still - what a difference! At least so far - will keep monitoring.

Just an FYI...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Checking MicroSD speeds

This might be a little off topic, but I don't think so, since we all want a fast SD Card for ROM2SD.

My question is

1) What speed test apps are recommended to check the read / write speed of my many MircoCD cards.

2) Would it be better to run speed test (apps) on a Android device like my Infinity TF700 OR on my Win7 PC via a media card reader ?

Thanks all !
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Or how about removing the ability to reboot from within the app? Since they can't read the OP, if they can't reboot from Cromi-control, they can't bork it. :laugh: Just add a note in the app that a reboot is required for changes to take affect.

Wow, every time I think I'm starting to get a handle on tweaking this Rom, you guys throw me another curve. :silly: Guess I just haven't been at it long enough. Do you have a link to trickster? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I agree about just removing the reboot option!

Here is a link to the Trickster app:

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
We'll see. Unfortunately it is elesbb's app and he has asked me to remove it as we can't get to the bottom of the reboots. I agree with him, if it makes the ROM unstable then I can implement some of the mods in an alternative fashion.

Unfortunately removing it means recompiling some of the framework filled and that has introduced additional bugs and weirdness that I'm trying to solve. Until I can get to the bottom of that it is staying as part of the ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I agree that it should be removed if it's causing instability, but if he simply removed the reboot option from the app, then the instability issue is no more, correct? Sounds like a simple solution to a pretty big problem! I would think that it would be very little effort to remove the reboot functionality from the app.

Or does the app cause other issues as well? It always seemed to work great for me though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm in two minds as I and many others have no issues with it either.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I did not have a reboot issue with the Cromi control app also. However, every time that I used the cromi control app was when I did a fresh installation which was nothing was running on the background because I did not install any third party apps or games yet...:) We can put this to test the theory if someone has this issue to test it out. Before he/she is using the cromi app, they need to shut down all apps that are running in the background except for the system apps. Then he/she can use the cromi app and reboot to see if some apps that they installed causing the conflict with the cromi app..:) Just my two cents...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Did not know this was someone else's app. Just for clarity, from what I have read, as long as the user does not reboot from within the app, there are no reboots, is that correct? The app otherwise works correctly as long as one exits the app to reboot? I did go read his Play Store site and he does not list the Infinity as a supported device. That probably has something to do with it.

If the reboot option cannot be removed because of what you describe above, can it just be disabled and the note to exit the app and reboot added at least until the bug is found?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, it is the fun about learning...;) I don't know how many new things that I learn during the day just reading other users comments... It is knowledge and you can not buy it with money except time and learning...;)

jtrosky gave you the link above this post or you can search it on the google play store.. It is a very nice little free app...;)

miniCROMi-X v2.0 released for those of you that want to try out a fast lite ROM. It now includes a lighter stock launcher with only 3 screens and Hunds ET 1.6. You can flash over CROMi-X or flash clean. Includes a ROM2SD ready to go version. :D Enjoy!

Note you'll need to reset up your launcher again - you only have 3 screens now :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What do you mean? Docking should work fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Essentrix:
Wasn't recognising the dock in 4.2 launcher mode. Deleted gravity box and xposed, switched to 4.1.2 launcher and it's back. Not sure about which one was causing the issue. Have to say this is not as pretty as previous setup but zippy!

miniC

Solved calendar sync issue by restoring calendar app from CROMI-x.

Wallpaper bug

I just updated to Cromi-X 5.3, so far much smoother! but I'm still having an issue that I had with the older version. I use Gainos fresh wallpaper so I get nice different wallpapers every day but if I open the app and select a picture, it says wallpaper changed, but when I go to the home screen, the background is black. The wallpaper change will only show if I reboot. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'll have a look - calendar syncing should work fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
I get that sometimes also with just the stock wallpaper app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] csmoore88:
I have experienced similar issues with disappearing wallpaper and even scaling the wallpaper with an effect that seems like you are farther away. For me, a simple systemui restart brings it back.

Hello,

Maybe not Rom related, but, why when I write an email (in French) all words are underlined ?

How can I change default language ?

Has a solution been found yet for the search function that only seems to search YouTube? For example, if you highlight a word in the browser and click on the "Search" button at the top of the screen, it takes you to the YouTube app instead of the normal browser-based search.

I know that this was discussed after 5.3 was released, but I can't remember if there was a solution or not.

Thanks!

Cool, I'd never used the search like that. I guess it wouldn't hurt if it worked correctly though... ;) It is definitely not in the settings...

Could anyone try to get this theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1595523 to work on this rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Sorry for the off-topic - but my kids MeMo HD7 pads have an asus setting for 'trans cover' that turns the screen off when the covers are closed. I wonder if there might be a way to port that function over to the tf700 or does anyone else have a way of doing this (tasker / secure settings??) Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
The TF700 and it's case would need some sort of magnet inside in order to support the auto-on/auto-off functionality. As far as I know, the hardware just isn't there to support it.

I could be wrong though - after all the tablet does turn on/off automatically when docked - so maybe there *are* magnets inside of the TF700 already?
[Asus Transformer TF700] terrbear1:
Gave up on the rom2sd stuff. Must have doing something wrong. Good news is that a total wipe, flash hunds oc ET, gpu rendering on gave me a score over 7000. Clean is better.

Question - how do i get google keyboard back as default? I don't remember. Reflashed kernals back and forth to fix GMT but dont remember keyboard fix.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
You can do it via tasker and secure settings, using the proximity sensor to determine the state of the cover. Closed works better than open in my experience, but I eventually gave up on it because you need to keep the proximity sensors aware during sleep which killed the battery, just to determine when the screen was uncovered. A horrible trade-off for simply clicking a button. Relying solely on the screen timeout was just easier as well.

If you're determined, here's a thread that will help:

Strange Behavior 5.3

Cromi-x 5.3 _thatv7 internal, Fsync off, cache2sd. all other defaults.

The system has been running fine since release of 5.3 until yesterday when it became laggy and started showing "wait" messages. This morning I restored a backup, but during the reboot it gave an error message "System UID Inconsistent, UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your devices will be unstable." I'd never eeen that before. What might have caused it?

EDIT: Evidently "Fix Permissions" in TWRP Advanced will fix this. Haven't tried yet, will report.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I've only seen this error if something else has set permissions differently on the system partition. Installed any mods recently?

I'm using Cromix 5.3 with hunds-kernel 3.4.4, cache2sd (no rom2sd), gpu rendering enabled and fsync off but just get a quadrant score of like 5400.

How do you guys achieve a 7000 score? How hight do you overclock gpu and cpu?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need to break down your individual scores but my guess is I/O is low? Try disabling fsync.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoCream:
These are my scores

Total: 5364

CPU: 14536

MEM: 2802

I/O: 7011

3D: 1897

I disabled fsync with trickstermod and forced gpu rendering but no success. Any idea?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
So do you have any actual performance issues or just a low score? If you are not having any specific performance issues, I wouldn't worry too much about the benchmarks - it's the performance/experience while actually using the device that really counts!

I upgraded from 5.2.4 to 5.3 with ROM2SD option enabled, but stuck at the boot animation. Was using 5.2.4 ROM2SD fine. Attached is the logcat output filtered at "error" level. Thanks in advance for any help.

Update - resolved after I reformatted the 2 ext4 partitions in my sdcard. Think some files in the /data partition messed up but not sure due to what...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, you are using Hund v3.4.4 with the dynamic Fsync.. If you are using trickster mod to disable Dynamic Fsync, you are accidentally turned the Fsync on.. You can use command to disable your Fsync...:)

Obviously by looking at your report, your Fsync is enable and it is the reason that you obtained a low score...:) Let me know if you want to resolve your issue and I am more than happy to work you through....;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You should provide the whole log as what else is in there is important as well. But I can see the xposed framework failed to load and that might cause issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoCream:
Ahh, thats exactly the thing I did. LOL

But the 3.4.4 kernel is better than the 3.4.3 right?

So the next steps are to enable dynamic fsync again in tricksterMOD and tham via command prompt to disable it? What tool do i need to make the command?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ryk k:
with this rom I can not install the apk
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am not sure which version is better because I did test and compare them side by side. However, it is not a major change according to thhe change log....:)

The dynamic fsync is behaved a little difference than the normal fsync. In order to disable both of them, you need to enable the dynamic fsync in the trickster mod and add this line in your 50cleanTWEAKS. You need to save it and a reboot to disable both off them, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

It should be fine. Do you have issue installing apk?
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Got a few oddities after putting this on a stock TF700 that was brand new to my ownership. For the time zone, I keep picking EST and when I come back to the settings screen, it still says GMT. My system has the right time (IE-4:35) but the ASUS clock widget will display 11:35. It is not currently set to the automatic time/date and I have rebooted it once.

I've been curious about this issue with the TF series. If you tell the tablet to display full time when plugged in, what causes it to disregard this if it's plugged in while docked? My TF201 did this and my 700 is doing the same. Since my 700 has now taken over the 201's dock, I noticed the 201 stays with the screen on if directly plugged into a wall charger.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The time zone is fixed by reflashing the ROM I think. It's an issue when choosing ET on a clean install if I remember correctly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Yep that's the kernel I have. 3.1.1-hunds. If I want to achieve screen on+dock+charging would I have to go with setting the display to never turn off and just rely on manually doing it when it's on battery power?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I don't know another way as the screen will time out based on the time out settings even when docked.
[Asus Transformer TF700] XinsaX:

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Also make sure force GPU is enabled in developer settings although I force it on by default.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Don't waste too much time concentrating on a benchmark "score". That score will go up and down based on many factors and a higher score doesn't necessarily mean better performance during actual usage. In my opinion, the best benchmark is your user experience - that's what *really* matters. Benchmarks can be useful for developers when testing certain tweaks in a controlled environment, but trying to compare benchmark scores between users isn't nearly as meaningful - there are way too many variables involved when comparing your score to someone elses score.

If you are just trying to see how high you can get, thats one thing, but like I said, a higher score doesn't necessarily translate into a better user experience. If you need to run a benchmark to tell if your device is running any better than it used to, then I'd say that it really doesn't matter!

Just my opinion, of course! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoCream:
Now in performance mode I managed to get 6960 and now I am satisfied. I just wanted to make sure (with running the benchmarks) that everything on the tablet was optimized. By running the benchmark and asking you guys I managed to get fysnc off to get better I/O throughput. But like you mentioned benchmark score are only second to the real user experience.

Now I will start to work with the app Photo Mate again and I hope the process to edit my photos will be faster and smother.

Thank you so much community!!! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Is Photo Mate a 2D rendering? You could try to use a hardware rendering instead of software to see if it is better with the processing...:) Also, you could force your GPU to work in a maximum frequency... Please report back your experience after testing with Photo Mate app, thanks...:)

Just don't use the app and don't try to uninstall it. You can disable/freeze it if you don't want to see the icon. 99% of people have no issues using it.

Well with m setup (Cromix 5.3, fsync disabled, Hunds 3.4.4, GPU rendering forced (selected during installation) the app Photo Mate (is only 2D rendering app similiar to lightroom on PC) is working a little bit faster. Its not the super speed improvement but it works now a tad faster. I guess the HW is the limiting factor here (only 1GB Ram and the Tegra3).

But I still like the tablet, especially with Cromix and all the other improvements.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the explanations....;) You are right about the HW limitations and it seems like you push your tf700 to the limit, haha..:) With this kind of usage, every bit of performance will count and make a difference...
