[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Just my curiosity, I am using SD Tester to test my internal and external SDs. With my current setup, my external SD has 13MB/s write speed and 15MB/s read speed with a default setting on the SD Tester (300MB files setting).

Internal SD: 9MB/s for write and 15MB/s for read

External SD: 13MB/s for write and 15MB/s for read

Those values are an average over all...:)

What are your MB/s for your internal and external SDs? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Internel: 10.76 MB/s for write and 22.5 MB/for read

Externel: 8.3 MB/s for write and 19 MB/s for mead
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the feedback....:) I can never pass the 20MB/s read speed for the internal. The best speed for read is about 18MB/s if I used ROW scheduler and interactive governor. However, the write speed for this setting was very low around 4-5MB/s was the best that I could get....:( Currently, I am using SIO scheduler and interactive governor which give me a little more balances on both read and write speed for my internal SD...:) Even with the F2FS for Data2sd, I am only able to get the write speed up around 12-13MB/s and read around 14-15MB/s....:)

Can you share with us what is your current setup and how do you get your read/write speeds a lot faster at least comparing with my setting, internal SD? I just want to learn how users improve their TF700 performance, hahaha...:laugh:

[Asus Transformer TF700] berek9999:
Be careful if you go back to CROMI 3.4, as the layout of the sdcard was altered. When I tried restoring a backup of 3.4 I got all sorts of problems - I think it's due to the "multi-user" aspect of JB 4.2 and the way it handles the files for different users. On JB 4.2 your files are under "/sdcard/0/" whereas on JB 4.1 (i.e. CROMI 3.4) it looks for them in "/sdcard/". It may well be possible to fix this with some judicious moving of files, but just be aware of the issue.

As there more and more of us posting on here with the problem, I'm sure the devs can come up with a fix, it's just a case of working out where the problem is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
Ha, ha. Assuming the ROM is still there, but the download link is outdated, so I can't even get to it. I figured its nothing that can't be fixed with some well-though symlinks, anyway.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]: Is that image still available? (3.4.5) I wouldn't mind the downgrade if it meant that the pad/dock combo will go to sleep when it is supposed to.

Has anybody else got this problem.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Artimis:
I've had this happen from time to time when upgrading ROMs. Has to do with some sort of sync id changing. Just wipe all data from gmail (settings -> Applications -> All -> Gmail -> Clear Data) and rerun the app. Everything will sync back up and should solve the issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
That worked thanks.:good:

Hmm - no, you're right, that version isn't there. The change log does say this, however - "Version 3.4.5 scrapped due to corrupted bootanimation issues"
[Asus Transformer TF700] Astegal:
Same issue with MyNet (asus stock app)

I played the video files successfully from a usb stick plugged into the dock which tells me it's not a codec issue.

It would be very kind if someone could try to play whatever movie (avi or mkv) that contains just one audio track to check if it's not an isolated problem.

I've got a little stupid question. I wanna install this rom with the DATA2SD function. I guess I've got to format my microsd with some 4EXT partitions? If yes, what should my partition layout look like?

I can't find it anywhere...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You need two partitions.

1. The first partition is fat32

2. The second partition is ext4

You can find out a lot of information from this OP:

Great, thanks! This was what I was looking for.

Do I still need to flash the zip from that post or is that included in the cROM installation?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is in the rom installation. You need to select the kernel with data2sd... :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Going back to the original posters question on I/O and cpu governors, there are kernel/cpu apps on the market that open up these settings. I don't know if one is included automatically in the rom. Something like Rom Toolbox

What combinations of scheduler and governors have you power uses found to be most effect for either speed in the tablet, stable performance, or best battery life?

Thanks

You may want to check in settings under devices. There is a sounds link that will take you to volumes. The music, etc setting may be all of the way down.

I am experiencing an issue with the android keyboard program giving me a repeated stopped working message. I usually only have my tablet in the keyboard dock. The issue almost always occurs when I'm using Polaris, Kingsoft Office and Skydrive. I wish I could supply more information about the nature of the problem, but I can say with certainty that I never experienced it until 5.0.0. It doesn't seem to effect the operation of the keyboard or the tablet, but it's horribly annoying as it pops up repeatedly. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Thanks in advance.

Uninstall it and reinstall it from the play store ;)

GooManager supports flashing TWRP again. Choosing "Install Open Recovery Script" currently downloads and installs TWRP 2.6.3.1. Just tested it and it's confirmed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nice! However - I have been testing TWRP and CWM and for some reason (currently not understood) using TWRP to install CM11 based rom incurs a performance hit in the ROM. If I install the same rom from CWM it runs much better. Right off to test more of kitkat 4.4. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Whaa? I can't logic that out. I have heard CWM simply works better with CM11, but not that performance should vary. Very odd.

Yep - didn't think it would make a difference but my eyes must be deceiving me. Very odd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] z3r0-c001:
Hey, is it going to look like the stock ASUS ROM? I mean the launcher, widgets, apps... or you are going to make just another CM11 ROM ?

Did some extended internal SD tests. Ran the internal SD through 8 trials in SD Card Tester @ 300 mb with both SIO and ROW. Here are my results:

ROW - 8 Trials:

Min Write - 10.51

Max Write - 12.03

Avg. Write - 11.12

Min Read - 14.39

Max Read - 20.72

Avg. Read - 17.29

SIO - 8 Trials:

Min Write - 10.21

Max Write - 11.41

Avg. Write - 10.93

Min Read - 15.58

Max Read - 21.29

Avg. Read - 17.09

On average, it appears that ROW results in higher read and write speeds. That being said, I have done a lot of testing in the past using other tools and SIO resulted in better overall I/O performance.

This is an amazing news!!! Your work making this tablet better is awesome!!!!

Throughput is only one aspect of performance. A benchmark that tries to model more real world usage (mixed reading and writing of different block sizes) would be interesting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dlbarron:
I would be happy to beta test if you need someone for that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Lol. Google removed all essence of it from 4.4 so you won't be coming over any time soon. I got it working via xposed on 4.3 but even that doesn't work with 4.4... :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
You can tell Android Tuner to test different file sizes, which is a little closer to real world, not perfect still. When using it to test R/W speed in the past I got the highest overall R/W speed with noop and row over the same number of trials.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I thought that random read/write would be more interesting to see and closer to the real world usage, haha...:D I believed that the block size for our tf700 is only 4k. It will write to multiple blocks any way so it does not matter how big the file size is...:confused:

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

It is very interesting experiment...:silly: The only thing that I can see the differences between the two are the blocks layouts when you created the partitions, just think out loud, haha...:)

[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
On the topic of SD card, AFAIK, Google has changed some permission with Android 4.4 that allows only system apps to write on the external SD card (http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/02/17/external-blues-google-has-brought-big-changes-to-sd-cards-in-kitkat-and-even-samsung-may-be-implementing-them/). I am not sure how CM is different from AOSP, but hopefully the move of CROMI-X to 4.4 will not remove the ability to modify the SD card.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
It's been mentioned in the past and since its helped me, others mjght benift as well. Ive had a lot of problems downloading files from play and have had problems saving and restoring large nunmbers of files, i would do twenty at a time. Newer versions cromxi has improved file handling, but i was still having problems.

My frustraion has gotten worse because of my new tablet. The infinity should just be better than it is. Any way i started watching what was happening during play downloads, and started to see a pattern. I did a little research on one of the apps using thw most cpu and wonders about drive integrity.

I finally bit the bullet and reformated my microsd card. Performance is a lot better. Part of the reaaon i was having problems, and i had forgotten it, i was was saving files on install to microsd . With the problems my cad was having this was really causing a lot of problems.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That's the logical block size. Physical write block size is in the range of 128 kB, and erase blocks seem to be 8 MB (at least that's the partition alignment). This is one of the reasons why random 4k writes are so slow.

Read this for a lot of background info about flash cards, it applies also to our internal eMMC: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelArchived/Projects/FlashCardSurvey

Date & Time Keeps Resetting

Has anyone experienced problems with the data/time resetting?

It's been happening intermittently and always resets to Dec 31, 1999. I haven't found a pattern to it, but it happens when I wake the tablet from sleep.

I searched Google and didn't find anything substantial, but this problem might not be to CROMi, but thought I would ask.

Anyone have any thoughts because I would appreciate it.

For a microSD that means that it is beneficial to align partitions on erase block boundaries.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nibblet787:
Hi sbdags,

I'm a looong time fan of your work and I wanted to know if you could help me with a problem that was introduced in 5.4. Whenever I plug in my charging cord to my dock, while it's connected to the tablet, the tablet reboots. Then, it gets as far as loading most of my home screen, and reboots again. Rinse and repeat. If I disconnect the tablet and plug the charger into the tablet itself, then there's no problem. And if the tablet is being charged by the dock battery, without the charger cable, there's again no problem. It's only when the tablet is docked and the charger plugged in. CROMi 5.2.4 didn't have this problem. I tried a dirty upgrade first, then tried wiping everything and doing as clean of an install as I could, but nothing helps. I used Hund's kernel, then _that's and it made no difference. I also tried upping the voltage via Trickster, but that didn't work either. I do have the CTM theme installed, along with the patch you issued a couple days ago. I even tried an install with no theme and... it still reboots. I attempted to get a last_kmsg log, but it's completely empty. Is that possible? If so, is there another log I can submit?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes other users reported the problem as well. Try reinstalling the ROM (dirty flash ok) but make sure you uncheck the no SD notification on the tweaks page please. Does that fix it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I can confirm above scenario. CMT still causes the tablet to go into a bootloop and the last time it happened I was docking it with the dock on the charger. To be honest I was too lazy to troubleshoot this time and just reflashed without CMT. I love the theme, but I believe you should end a relationship if it becomes dysfunctional :D

However, I am wiling to work it out - to a degree. ;)
[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], if you need two testers I believe you found them...

I'm going to be busy much of Saturday though...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thanks bud, just need to confirm it is the no SD mod causing it. Note it is part of CTM which is why users see it on CTM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nibblet787:
Yep, seems like the SD notification was the culprit. However, it was as Berndblb said, the theme was also part of the problem. It wasn't enough that I unchecked the box, applied the theme, then applied the theme patch - I had to do away with the theme entirely before the reboots would go away.

Needless to say, I'd rather have a fully functional laptop, even if it means no theming. Thank you both sbdags and Berndblb!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thanks for confirming. The way I did the theme is I reapplied the no sd patch as part of the theming (one of the files is needed for it) ;) So as soon as you flash CTM you get the no sd patch back....

OK I'll see if I can fix it tonight :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mortikahn:
Using 5.4 (with browser patch) _thats OC kernel, standard ROM (no rom2sd etc)

Twice now today I have had the tablet just shut itself off.

Batteries are fine, no warnings no errors, it just shuts off.

Is there a log file I can grab the next time it happens to shed some light on whats going on?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
One last question - are you using xposed at all?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nibblet787:
Yes, with the following modules:

Cool Tool

GravityBox

Greenify

XBlast
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah I think it might be a combination of the no sd mod and xposed that is actually causing the issues. Anyone confirm or have the reboot issue when not using xposed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I checked to install Xposed but have not activated it and did not install Gravity Box or any other module, but still:

I connect the tablet to the powered dock - instant bootloop

I disconnect, let it boot up, connect it to the unpowered dock - no problem.

I disconnect, connect the dock to power, dock the tablet - instant bootloop.

This is how I flashed in one recovery session:

CROMi-X - did not check "no sd card notification"

flashed dock browser button patch

flashed CTM, red theme, blue battery circle mod

flashed CTM patch

Even though I'm sure I did not check "no sd notification" I do not have notifications for either microSD, dock or dock SD. Now I know why...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes as I said as soon as you flash CTM you get no sd mod as I modded that file for the dock battery icons for CTM :) NOt to worry I have a fix for you to test :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
CROMi-X Dock Patch for testing

Right folks can you try this patch for me please. This SHOULD fix the reboot on charging with the dock connected if you selected the no sd card notification option in the installer.

Note it will break CTM functionality (you'll lose the battery and colours) so I need confirmation that it is working and then I can redo CTM to fix that as well.

Many thanks and apologies for breaking it! :o :fingers-crossed:

I think I found the problem (with elesbb's help) - it seems to be with the signatures I used for the system apps when recompiling them. It seems Asus don't like my method of faking the Asus signatures back in so will try an alternate way that elesbb suggested works. :)

It's too late to do it now but I'll do a new patch in the morning. Then update CTM again to use the new method.

Been a while since I have been around. Just to give you an idea, I'm still running 5.2.3 0_o

Also, I have TWRP 2.6.3.1 (as installed by GooManager) and it's having issues reading the DEODEX file from the SDCard. I think this is an issue with 2.6.3.1, but TWRPs website has a 2.6.3.2, but I can't figure out how to actually install it - my pad won't give me a USB icon (fastboot mode) when booting with power + vol, only Recovery, Android and Wipe....

Gah. I may have to dig out the OLD old instructions for putting the blob on the SDCard with a particular name so I can finally update.....

Or....it could be a bad download lol....just verified that MD5 is not matching.

Sigh.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That's probably it. I flashed CROMI-X deodex about 4 times in the last couple of days with 2.6.3.1. Stick with it. TWRP 2.6.3.2 seems to have issues if you format data...

No more USB icon in JB 4.2 bootloader. Find a magnifying glass and read the tiny script: you're in fastboot by default
