If ping test scores do not rely on TCP/IP then ping test scores cannot be related to download/upload speeds, which rely on the TCP/IP protocol. If ping test scores are not related to download/upload speed then how does variability in ping test scores invalidate scores gathered from measures that rely on an entirely different network protocol?

What you are saying does not make sense statistically or scientifically. We can safely ignore ping test scores when comparing TCP congestion protocols since changes in TCP congestion algorithms cannot influence ping scores. If ping scores vary due to an uncontrolled variable than this uncontrolled variable would have no impact on download/upload speeds as the two scores are independent due to their reliance on different protocols.

Ultimately this is all entirely besides the point. If you don't like my research stop complaining and do your own.

Bingo! Got it to work with Firefox, no add-in. I used the Firefox setting to Request Desktop Site.

Wahoo!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What if you use the stock browser with the 'always request desktop site' turned on in advanced?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Both ping and your downloads/uploads use the same underlying network connection. So if your ping times change, that indicates a change in the performance of your WiFi link or internet connection that can influence bandwidth and other factors too.

I never said that - I said they are not related to the TCP congestion algorithm. Actually, they may be influenced by it if you run both your bandwith tests and ping *concurrently*.

No, see above - same network connection with varying quality.

I like your research very much, I just doubt the validity of your results so far. :) Please don't confuse criticism with complaining. I know it's very hard (or impossible?) to ensure a constant and stable connection quality over WiFi to perform such tests, and I appreciate that you took the time to do it anyway.

Also, could you please explain how the choice of TCP congestion algorithm can have an effect on download bandwidth? As I understood it, it only affects uploads, but I'm not an expert in TCP details. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
TCP controls how IP traffic is both sent and received. It is the transport layer used within a network to control the transfer of data from one device to another. TCP controls how packets are organized into data streams and transmitted from both sender and receiver. The network congestion avoidance algorithm employed by TCP controls data flows to prevent network traffic from causing congestion collapse (more transmission than network can handle - severly reduces network performance), thus TCP congestion algorithms must be able to work bidirectionally. The TCP congestion window limits the total number of unacknowledged packets (caused by congestion) that may be in transit end-to-end.

Tried exactly that with stock browser and Boat Browser yesterday - both showed "connecting..." for a while and timed out. Not sure why Firefox behaves differently.

BTW, I am finding Boat Browser to be far superior to stock as far as flash goes. Try using Deadspin with both - the difference is dramatic. Haven't tried Firefox, but will give it a whirl.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Ping scores cannot be influenced by changes in TCP/IP algorithms since its not using the TCP/IP protocol. Thus variance in these scores cannot be attributed to changes in TCP/IP, which is what we are ultimately interested in with these mods.

Although some confounding variables cannot be controlled it is still possible to make meaningful comparisons between means of different data sets. If I collect enough data points the influence of confounding variables can be averaged out across the data set. A large data set is in and of itself a control for confounding variables. If I keep enough variables constant then the influence of uncontrolled variables will eventually average themselves out over repeated blocks of trials so that I can estimate the significance of the dependent/manipulated variable (in this case - TCP/IP congestion algorithm) with a predefined degree of accuracy/confidence.

In order to make a comparison meaningful I will have to collect more data and utilize formal statistical hypothesis tests that are designed to average out the effects of confounding variables so that we can isolate and evaluate the effect of TCP/IP congestion algorithm. This may seem like statistical voodoo but it is completely legit. I work in a lab as a research assistant, I do this **** all the time.

And you should keep going. Your research is useful and valid to me :good:

I recently updated to the latest CROMI-XENO 5.2a from old cleanrom 3.5 . Now everything runs smoothly but video playback lags in any video player (mxplayer, vplayer etc) even xvid files and HD x264 files. Now I am streaming this over network I never had any problems on 3.5 ran smoothly except when its was large 1080p files (10-15gb). Anybody know how to solve this problem?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I read it some where a while back. I never test it so I don't have the answer for you. That is why I want to know the answer if you actually try it...:) Something about fastboot or adb or superuser has a problem..

I've tested Amazon Prime and haven't got it to work with Stock Browser or Chrome. Haven't tried other browsers though. Amazon doesn't list the TF700 as a supported device but it does seem odd they don't have an Android app given they already have an iOS one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
As far as I understand it, this is only about what to do on the sender side when waiting for ACKs - how long to wait, when and how often to retransmit, etc... What is the influence of the receiver side? Does the congestion algorithm control in any way how ACKs are sent? I'd expect them to always be sent immediately after the packet was received, which would mean the receiver's congestion control setting has no effect at all.

By the way, I found two interesting paragraphs that look relevant to us:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networ...Side_effects_of_congestive_collapse_avoidance

So keep in mind that algorithms that are designed for 10 GBit fiber links may not work well for our WiFi connection, as we have to deal with real interference and packet loss. :)

That's what I said before.

OK, that makes sense. You probably know more about statistics than me. :)

Hey guys! Need some help please!

I'm coming from cromi 4.4 and did an over the top upgrade to this one. Didn't really have any issues.

I selected

that _4 (The one with everything but overclocking)

disable fsync

asus keyboard instead of google (This messed up thumb keyboard - was going to do another over the top)

x-loud audio mod.

Those are the main things I changed that I remember.

Anyways I went to do it again to change some other things and experiment.

On top of the things above I did

_that 6 with OC and everything else

Of the 3 overclock mods chose _that 1518 (Power save 1 ghz, balanced 1.5 ghz, Performance 1.8 ghz)

Installed asus my dictionary (don't think this would change anything but listing it anyway)

xloud audio mod

And added the zip aligning

cpu UV under-volt CPU by 50 mv (This one says it can have issues with overclocking, is it safe to install??)

After doing all that I got the error message "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partion or your device will be unstable." Everything was messed up and I had to reboot my device a couple times.

Thank god for nandroid backup though!

So here I am back at the start and am just wondering about your guys input. I don't really have anything important as far as apps and their data to lose if I do a factory wipe in TWRP. This won't delete anything but my system data, settings, and all my apps and their data, correct? Like any folders for storage I've added to the internal memory will stay? I did do a titanium backup of a couple apps of whose data I want to keep like pocket and chrome.

What's everyones experience with the above modifications? Anything you've selected that you have issues with? Recommendations? I notice with the xloud audio mod my audio caps at 15 instead of 30 in mx player. What's everyones experience with the xloud audio mod or DSP sound manager?

Also I did the cromi upgrade without the keyboard dock installed this time. Not sure if that matters at all?

As always thanks guys :)

What the......? Was running 5.2a with that's 5 oc kernel. Downloaded hunds latest 3.4.2 installed and it would not boot past startup screen. Rebooted into recovery and reinstalled that's through the xcromi app and something on the process wiped all my data. Man! Back to a clean install
[Asus Transformer TF700] mikmock:
CROMi v4.4? I would start over at POST #1 “Scenario Two” and flash the current bootloader. I know “Scenario Three” says upgrading from v4.x is ok but there have been a few bootloader updates since then so it’s probably your best bet to get everything up to date. Then do a clean install of CROMi-X v5.

From there everything else will be good :good:

CROMi-X 5.2.2 Preview Release

Preview version of CROMi-X 5.2.2 available for testing for those of you who like to mess ;) This is a tweak release. Lots of changes to performance - hopefully for the better. I've been running this for 3 days as ROM2Sd and Normal and both feel sharp and smooth to me :) Battery life is good on the new _thatv7 kernel as well :good:

If you do download and test please provide feedback and make it clear it is for version 5.2.2. Please don't mirror this guys as it could change.

You can flash dirty or clean over 5.2a.

====================

Awesome !! totally awesome..... Hey couple quick questions. Is there really an advantage (really) in disabling Fsync

if your running ROM2SD on a fast 64GB card.... do the benefits (speed) outweigh the risks (data loss/corruption) ??

I don't think so much on a ROM2SD install ... what Ya'll think. Is it really

much

faster on ROM2SD ? with Fsync

OFF

??

One other simple stupid question .... is this proper procedure ?

1.Wipe

2.Flash Cromi to INTERNAL ( prep for SD )

3.Flash Cromi to MicroSD

4.Flash Thats v7 (if wanted)

5.Finally reboot and wait and enjoy.

Cheers !

[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Yo,

Sry but I made a typo. Hotplug should be 2 4 8 not 2 4 6. Derp! Its exam time, not much brain power left haha.

I also had my balanced and powersave profiles reversed.

I have also decided to set midrange_freq to 760000. I tend to use the powersave profile more than balanced now because I can get by without any lag with lower power due to better efficiency :). 760000 is more appropriate for these conditions.

Updated OP with fixes.

What is going on?

Since 2 days when rebooting my TF700 I'm stuck at the Asus "Inspiring" screen. I'm still able to get in recovery but cleaning Dalvik, fixing permissions, etc... and then rebooting results in the same stuck :(

The only way I can fix this is by reinstalling the ROM from my SD card.

Yesterday evening, I decided to try to give Cyaonogenmod 10.2 a go to see if the problems would be the same.

Flashed it, booted properly, configured it whole evening and went to sleep.

This morning I restarted the tablet and boom: again stuck at the Asus "Inspiring" screen :(

Left the tablet on for 45 minutes but nothing happened: still stuck at the same place.

Anyone has any ideas why this is happening?

Would reflashing the bootloader fix this problem? Or is my TF700 dying???

Thanks for any reply,

Tek_No
[Asus Transformer TF700] Christoff_:
Thanks! I'll flash the current bootloader.

Could the OC mod and the cpu UV battery mod possibly cause any issues? What settings/speed did you guys pick with the overclock? Should I just stick with _that v4?

When you say clean install do you mean perform a factory wipe and then upgrade to cromi 5.2a? A factory wipe will delete all my apps and their data and all my tablet settings but not everything that I have stored in the internal memory, correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
With Hunds kernel you can set the freq cap of each cpu core (up to 1.9Ghz) for each of Asus` power profiles

Go to twrp and wipe menu and choose format data. Backup first.

Then reinstall your rom.

Thx for the reply: will definitely try this.

I guess there is no other way to "heal" my data partition than to format it, right???

In twrp you can unmount data and then run the following in the terminal

[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
Hey guys. I tried installing rom2sd last night and just didn't work. I formatted my card as suggested in the op, installed cromi to the internal, installed again using rom2sd option.

I was getting stuck at a splash screen after the bootloader with 4 Linux penguins at the top at which point, it would hang go back recovery.

I popped my old sd card back in, reinstalled the normal version, and I'm good again.

Does anyone have any quick suggestions as to why I the Linux penguins? Maybe it's just as simple as repartitioning my card.

Thanks in advance...

:rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The penguins are _that's preinit script to detect rom2sd/data2sd.

Did you:

- install CROMI-x to internal with the last option (rom2sd capability) selected? You have to scroll down-easy to miss

- install CROMi-X as rom2sd (second option from the bottom) to SD?

- choose the same kernel for both installations?

May be it is only my settings since no one seems to ask about it here.

I have flashed the 5.0.1 with That's 4 kernel. The stock browser has been behaving strangely. The problem I have is when I type in something, say "dart frog" in the address bar or even the search bar, it always shows "https://www.google.com/webhp?ie=UTF-8" in the address bar and sends me to the google search site.

I remember I used to be able to use the address bar or click on the search glass to get the search bar to search on google. Any help here?

You may want to check in your stock browser setting and under advance. There is a Text encoding to see if you somehow select the UTF-8. You may want to reset your browser to reset it.. :)

When you do something that needs keyboard input there is a small keyboard to the left side of notifications. Touch it and you can easily turn of dock and or choose thumb. Ive never tried using thumb with dock because of nags so, if you have a dock you might not want to freeze asus.

[Asus Transformer TF700] WillyRy:
First off, thanks for all the hard work.

Installed the Extreme Tweaks Edition and is fast and smooth so far.

Although you did a nice clean mod, I actually prefer the original blue asus keyboard color to go with my theme. I pulled the XT9IME apk, and the keyboard.apk from 4.7;

If I replaced these APK's into the 5.0.1. .rar before flashing would this revert, or do you have the correct .apk I could just flash?

I hope I'm not the only one who might want this. Thanks!

Bless you my friend!!!! Finally someone with the same problem! I was starting to question my sanity.....

I literally have spent hours trying to find the combination of settings to get search from the address bar back - to no avail. I even tried installing the stock browser from CROMI-X 4.7 - the last version I remember it working - no dice.

My solution - and this is really strange - is to select Bing or Yahoo as search engine under the Advanced settings. Bingo - search works as advertised, just not on Google.

Mhh - this idea just popped into my head: Could the fact that I do not have Google Search/Google+/Now installed have anything to do with it??
