On the flip side, i just picked up a tf700 refurbed. It's my first 10.1 inch tablet and i think its pretty good for the price i paid. But to be honest that's only after rooting and installing the latest cromi rom with custom kernel!

Thanks to all the devs that haved worked on this tab :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RexNoctis:
Agreed, this tablet would be almost unusable without the hard work of many of the inhabitants of these forums, hats off to you all!

Ok SDBags, here are two Catlog txt files. The smaller one (#2) is the latest where the device was asleep for 24hrs and after turning back on it was slow and wireless speed was horrible. Couldn't get more than 0.5mbps DL / barely working upload; and all my other 2.5gHz devices were doing great.

Be careful with Asus. I found out that they do not honor their warranty up to the last day. If your tablet is not in their hands before your warranty ends, you're screwed. If you develop a problem a few days before the warranty is up and think you are protected because you called and opened a case and got a RMA, be warned. If you do not ship your tablet to the repair facility to arrive before the warranty runs out, they will not honor it. They give you no grace period to do the shipping and they don't tell you up front about this policy.

You've been warned!!!

Update: Had a very enlightening conversation with an Asus employee who informed me that the information I was given about warranties was wrong. Apparently a new employee working in the RMA department was totally wrong. As long as you establish your case and receive your RMA on or before the last day of your warranty, you have 30 days to ship your device to Asus. This probably won't apply to most of you, but it's still good information to know.

Using nova launcher and hunds kernel. No idea what the backup is. I don't have nor use any backup besides a nand in TWRP? ES file explorer just had an icon on the desktop for the app? No idea what mixpanel is?? There is no program with that name installed. Have pretty much the same apps installed on my Note 2 and it flies. Weird. Been using nova launcher without issues. Something making a call???

I don't mess with or configure anything weird. I don't restore apps. Just have about 80 apps installed including those that came with the Rom. Running really slim.

Thanks

The apps I have installed..... but I'm not running seeder or lagfix. I fresh installed the Rom 5.2.3 then went to Google play store and installed the below apps.

Update

Hi

I did wipe the tablet and re-installed the ROM and things are working now.

I have rebooted it a couple of times and it all seems to work.

I am now back so if it happens again I will try tm capture a log. Unfortunately I did not this time.

Not sure why it went into looping.

Thanks for your help!

I seem to solve dock drain somewhat by docking but not closing it. Other option is turning ROM off every time I dock it... :(

PDF scanner

A couple versions back, I came across a PDF scanner feature on our TF700s. I could use the TF700 camera to "scan" a document & create a PDF of it. I do not think it was a special app. Does anyone know where I can find that feature?

Maybe I was supposed to include a particular app when flashing last time?

I looked in the camera & camcorder -- not seeing it.

Thank you. :)

Polaris Office?
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Ah ... I did not include Polaris Office last time I flashed ... explains why I am not finding it now. Thank you, sbdags!

Yes all I for one have had a perfectly happy tablet now for couple weeks. I run CROMI 5.2.3 ROM2SD and CM11 via _that's dual boot and his v7 kernal. My wife was going to leave me if I didn't stop messing around with this for hours on end everyday. Luckily it is all working great ATM. Also thank you to letmeknow for his awsume tweeks. Finally I get to play with my Galaxy S4 and install the new modem Samsung released.

Amazon Prime Issues

I have 5.2.3 and _that V4 loaded, along with Flash .81 - the latest - and get the Connecting problem with all browsers (Dolphin, Boat, Firefox). Tried FF with Phony, with just Desktop, with both and can't get it running on anything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Which sites? I can drop back down to version.63 if that is the fix but .81 works with all the sites I try....
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Sorry about that - I was referring specifically to streaming Amazon Prime videos, as was lartomar20002 whom I was quoting from post 3072. Flash does work on other sites but with Prime video I get a continual "Connecting" msg that eventually times out (same as posted back in #2958). Same .81 version works fine with Prime on my 2013 Nexus 7 running CyanogenMod 11 nightly (as it did on the TF700T when stock).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah OK, I think I'll drop back down to .63 anyway if it is more reliable :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Connecting to prime has always been a hit or miss thing with me. A fresh install of FireFox, set to desktop mode, seems to connect, then subsequent attempts fail. If I remove then reinstall it, it seems to work again for a while. Very strange, but unlikely to have anything to do with flash version I would think.

I don't know why they just don't support Android tablets in the first place. There is a prime player for Kindle (of course), but also for the iPad. If their argument was to protect their own ecosystem, then they lost it with that with Apple support. Seem crazy to ignore a revenue channel this large.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
This! I've had zero issues, smooth as silk and this thing is hands down the best device I own for streaming media. I think you've nailed it sbdags!

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I just did a test, reinstalling 5.2.3 but leaving Flash out this time. I sideloaded the .63 version and now Amazon Prime works again on Dolphin & Boat browsers. Since the recent Flash changes were to address security issues, it would be interesting to understand what the problem with Prime is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Did another test, uninstalling the sideloaded .63 version and then sideloaded the .81 version - Prime worked fine with the .81 version. So it appears that there is some weird interaction when Flash is loaded with the ROM as opposed to sideloading it. The issue appears isolated to Amazon Prime video play as other Flash sites work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK that is useful information. I think I know what causes that. I'll write some test files to try ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Since I have a Prime account, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to try.

Back to 5.2.2

SBDags;

After running 5.2.3 with _thatv7 and fsync off (no rom2sd or anything else) for about two weeks, I thought I had it about the best I've had. Great 6800+ Quadrant scores, snappy. No big problems.

Now a couple of weeks later, I'm thinking it over. Problems seem to be centered around the touch sensitivity, (or lack thereof) so I reverted back to a great backup of 5.2.2 and will see about it.

One question: I've never understood why you often recommend letting the Cromi ROM "cook" for 10 minutes or so after a load? What is it that needs to stabilize? Always after a rom reload? After a reboot? After resuming from sleep?

Just curious.

Thanks for all you do, and Happy New Year
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Run logcat and you'll see. For example, the package manager scans all installed apps. The media scanner scans for pictures, videos and sound files and updates its metadata database. Also installed apps may run on boot to initialize something.

You can of course use the tablet immediately as soon as the launcher appears, but don't expect the experience to be super smooth until the background processes are finished.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Has anyone noted any issues playing MKV files in programs that used to work fine? The only thing I changed recently was putting the latest version of CROMI on and used the experimental kernel. I don't know if that's even a possible bug with ROMs/kernels, but Dice doesn't play any MKVs anymore. I haven't updated it in over a month.
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Dice is playing MKVs just fine when I run the latest ROM + non-experimental Hunds or _that kernels. I'd have to reflash to get the exact kernel names I've used.

ROM2SD not installed to my SD Card

Hi all,

I was using CROMI-X 4.7 with Data2SD previously with a 32GB card. I bought a new 64GB Class 10 MircoSD Card and wanted to reinstall everything and then I saw there is this ROM2SD mod. So I partitioned my card into 3 partitions according to the instructions. P1 - about 40G FAT32, P2 - about 17G EXT4, P3 - about 800MB EXT4, using GPARTED.

After that I flashed the latest bootloader in post 1 and rebooted, flashed the ROM with ROM2SD option. Everything works fine during the installation, but after completion, it seems /system and /data are still installed to internal storage. I think so because all my old applications before I moved to use Data2SD are still there so seems the old /data partition is used. By right, if the /data partition in the new SD card is used, all the old applications should be gone. Also I verified the size of the mount points using df command and confirmed the size of /system and /data is not the size of the ext4 partitions in my SD card.

I tried 2 times but it is always the same. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Back button on stock browser

I'm running.5.2.3 Hunds 3.4.2

Anyone else having to hit the back button twice to get to the previous page? This happens with the browser back as well as the launcher back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes its because you enabled ad blocking - disable it and it won't do it. One of the side effects of blocking ads I'm afraid.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Install the rom internally first and foremost using one of that's kernels. Get that working and then go back and flash using the same kernel combination with the ROM2sd option checked.

Actually I just thought of something. If you were previously on data2sd then rom2sd will still see and use the same partition.

One way to check if you are on romm2sd is to look for the sdcardi, systemi and datai folders in the root of your device. If you see them then you are running rom2sd.

Also entering mount in a terminal app will show you - look for mmcblk1p2 and mmcblk1p3 for rom2sd partitions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pumpump:
Thanks! I tried what you suggested (install ROM internally and upon reaching the setup screen, reboot and install again with ROM2SD option checked). However, still got the same issue. The ROM is still installed to internal storage after the 2nd flash.

mount output shows /system is mounted to /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 and /data is mmcblk0p8. /cache is mmcblk0p2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Check that you have set up the partitions correctly for rom2sd please. Others have it working fine this way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pumpump:
My partitions:

P1 - about 40G FAT32, P2 - about 17G EXT4, P3 - about 800MB EXT4

Correct right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well that should work - you set them up and formatted them in GPARTED?

After you install can you capture the log from the installer and also the recovery log file please (advanced options in TWRP)

I've been on the US build since the beginning. Do you think I just need to try turning off the cache2sd? ...When I was noticing it last night, I hadn't actually run the cache2sd -m, so I don't think that was an issue. ...Just a total hang while installing 2 apps and browsing --I got the "Browser not Responding" message Wait / OK options! doh.

[Asus Transformer TF700] elesbb:
Hey guys! This is NOT an issue or a bug, this happens with my Galaxy S4 as well. It even happens with your computer too :) Its just the way technology works. If you are accessing your data partition a lot, anything else that needs that data partition will simply have to wait :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You are right that it is not a bug. It is just how we setup out tablet. Back in Cromi x version 4.7, I think and not sure that I was able to set the foreground app as the same priority as system is running on the background. I think that _that said most of those tweaks were out of date and not even existed in the JB source code. I am totally novice on the Android environment and can not confirm or deny the theory. Maybe you can help us to figure out how to set our foreground as the same priority as the system running in the background. I was playing with the "ADJ" values to set my priority on the 4.7. Thanks in advance..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] toolmanz:
Well I've been testing this and it seems the cache is the problem. If I set my preferences in the app and then use the reboot option in the app - the changes don't stick. But, if I reboot using the power button method - it takes longer (a few seconds) but seems to tidy up and store anything outstanding before rebooting. The changes stick.

Same problem as Trickster. The reboot option via power button is a different process than that used in the app.

Problem solved. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] elesbb:
Well, its actually in the app itself, you can flag priority for a service. But thats not actually what the problem is. The problem is that you are trying to access the same block of memory by two different places. Like, app A is in need of resource A, but app B is also in need of resource A, so whichever app was started first, (the play store usually) gets resource A first. I don't know what exactly ADJ is (i just remember seeing it a few times before) so im not sure if they will help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the reply elesbb. I am totally understand what you said.. :) I think that your thought process like FIFO. However for the TF700, the background process for the system still has a higher priority than the foreground that you are working on.. :) So if the TF700 kernel needs more resources for it to do whatever it needs, it will freeze all tasks until the system background is completed, then it processes everything else in order... That is what I believe BUT I am wrong so many times already.. :( It is also the reason why the users feel unresponsive during installation from app store while they are trying to work on something else..
[Asus Transformer TF700] elesbb:
But even on my S4 the device hangs while installing apps, every device i have ever owned has done this. The foreground app usually is reading from stuff loaded into the RAM and not on the /data partition directly, when you are installing an app, it is writing to the data partition directly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What is really interesting - is .... I have a prime and I have an infinity both running the same version of CROMi-X and the same apps installed. The prime does not suffer nearly as much as the infinity for IO..... Which is a real shame. I can happily browse on the prime whilst installing apps. It makes me wonder if the high res screen is causing more IO issues.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
I second that. My Prime isn't as "jerky" but definitely slower than my Infinity for obvious reasons.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I just updated a lot of apps and tried reading web pages at the same time. Play Store crashed 3 times while I selected more apps to update, but the browser was mostly smooth while installing. There was a single annoying long (about 5 seconds) lag where the browser didn't respond. All this with fsync on and the ROW I/O scheduler.

The high display resolution cannot cause I/O issues. It does cost RAM bandwidth - streaming 1920*1200*60 pixels * 32 bits per second from the framebuffer to the panel. But this is still a small fraction of the 6.4 GB/s total memory bandwidth of the Infinity (the Prime has only 2.0 GB/s) and not likely to be a bottleneck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
OK, was out of town, and about to take my jump onto 5.0.1 since I'm still on 4.7. In reading through all these pages, I will probably format everything and start from scratch. I have data backup for all user installed apps in TiBu, and I want to see just how fast this thing really is using various combinations of kernels, launchers, etc. before I finally decide on what I want to stick with.

Couple of questions:

Is the stock launcher in any way more performance demanding / slower than the other launchers? I've tried more than a few before, and am familiar with them all, but The stock launcher has a feature near and dear to my heart - the ability to order apps by most frequent use....

I see quadrant scores being posted all the time - any other benchmark apps used to help resolve bottleneck issues?

I assume that the YouTube fix and browser fix are now incorporated into the 5.0.1 release, I *think* I read that on the release post, but just to be sure...

Any known issues in using Exp features but *not* enabling things like Data2SD / Cache2SD? I have a 64 GB UHS-1 Sandisk card installed in the tab, and I have a second one in the tablet dock, but for some odd reason When I dock my tablet it starts to install the dock SD Card and then quickly quits - not sure if this is a 4.7 issue, or if it is something else...but the tablet MicroSD works fine in and out of the dock.

I just donated to you, sbdags - 4KY08777RU561452R :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thank you for the donation! Much appreciated mate.

I love the stock launcher. I've been using it exclusively for 3 or 4 months now. I used to be an apex fan but the stock is smoother IMO.

Antutu is probably better as a benchmarker. The only reason I use quadrant is cos everyone else does so it's easier to make a comparison. It is flakey though and you can get different results running it 1 min apart.

Cache2sd is still beta and experimental at the momemt. It caused the YouTube issues in 5.0. There are not browser issues IMO, just different settings that work differently for different people. There are billions of web pages. Some very Java or graphic intensive may not work as designed, but blame the browser not me ;)

Don't install data2sd and cache2sd at the same time. There is no point. Cache2sd will undo or replicate some elements of data2sd unnecessarily if you have data2sd running.

Personally I use neither.

Enjoiy the new ROM! :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Indurus:
Is there the possibility to show battery percentage of dock and tablet instead of the symbols in the status bar down right? Is it possible in Cromi or is there a mod compatible with cromi that can do that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
You're welcome :D

I'm probably going to install it default and play around with kernels and settings until I get a good feel for how things should be. I use my tablet in mixed mode - partially for research, partially for reading forums and such, partially for reading books through the Kindle app and partially to play games - graphics-intensive games, like NFS:MW 2012, and not so intensive, like Kingdoms at War, and Dark Legends. I need stability but also like speed, so I'll probably play around with the various aspects until I find a happy balance, including a lack of random reboots, as I wrote about oh so many moons ago under 4.7.

Off to copy my internal storage and backup my MicroSD Card before I start completely fresh with everything wiped.

Thanks again!

P.S. - I'm out of thanks for the day (8!) so I'll thank your reply tomorrow :P
