Hm, this is like the second time the tablet has gone unbootable since I installed data2sd, so I wonder if there's something wrong with the microSD card? I must say, the results I see are much like yours - the tab was as fast as a good laptop or iDevice when it was working, but the reliability issues are killing me. Now that the xmas dust is settled, I think I'll try to fsck that microSD and run it again. Failing that, I'll format the card again and leave fsync on.

Right now, I'm on hunds and there's only occasional lag.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Try ROM2SD I have been using it for over a month and havent had any stability issues whatsoever, **** is rock solid :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
A couple of questions about ROM2SD:

Has anyone benchmarked the I/O improvement of running a ROM off of the external sd versus the internal sd? I know many people have said that DATA2SD nearly, if not completely, eliminates the lag due to the inferior internal sd, so I would assume running the entire ROM off of the external sd card would make it fly!

If you put CM11 on the external sd card using ROM2SD, how are CM updates handled? Can you still still use CMUpdater, or do you need to manually flash the updates along with the other flashes used to set up ROM2SD?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
With fsync disabled on internal and external you should see about a 1000-1500 pt increase in quadrant scores due to rom2sd, however, in real world use the difference is much more noticeable.

I cant comment on whether CMUpdater works as i do not use CM, you can always be brave and try lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
So... do you do that with fsync on or off? As fast as the tab is with the Ultra card, I'm thinking I might see better results keeping it on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Hundsbuahs kernel uses dynamic fsync control, disabling fsync while using CROMi and Hunds kernel is obsolete. If you are using _thats kernel disabling fsync will definitely increase performance. When hunds used normal fsync i didnt notice any decrease in stability when it was disabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
I get that, but I've had the tablet sh!t itself and refuse to boot two times in a row using this new SD card. ATM, I have it in my laptop, which purports to be able to read the files fine. About to fsck and see what's the haps. If I can manage, I'll see if I can't get a last_kmsg out of it. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Dont use data2sd it isnt as stable as rom2sd. I used to get recurrent bootloops when using data2sd 8 months ago. Since switching to rom2sd i hvent had a single bootloop or stability issue whatsoever.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
Orly? Let me try that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
So, I tried using the series of scripts listed on the page linked from the CROMi-X 5.2.3 post, but I think that if I just click the rom2sd option in the package, it's redundant to do it with the separate scripts. Am trying again with only the check box in the rom installer checked.

Sent from my Dell Latitude D630 using Chromium
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
The first go-round actually had the same bootloop as before (but with a different boot animation, natch). I've reformatted partition 2 and I'm giving it another go from a fresh restart, using the rom2sd option in the kernel settings.

Sent from my Dell Latitude D630 using Chromium
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
This go-round was a success, and I'm proud to report that lag is at a minimum even when installing apps on _that's 1318 in Balanced mode. I left fsync disabled based on the prior report that the data2sd mode was a possible cuplrit, not the tab.

I'll report back later after it's had the customary 10 minutes to grind in.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You need _that's scripts only if you want to install anything other than CROMI-X as ROM2SD. sbdags build the same functionality into his installer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
I figured as much ;) The user experience is back to top-shelf, let's see if it can stay stable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
So... can I just use the Trickster app to enable fsync? Will I need a reboot for it to take/will it disable itself after reboot?

Edit: using _thats v7

Thanks for the help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not sure if you need a reboot but guess so as it must use a script to set it on boot?

You can do this yourself easily enough by opening the following file in a good text editor like esfile explorer note editor:

/system/etc/init.d/50CleanTweaks

then add the following line

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

Be aware that if your device is unstable this could cause data corruption and it to boot-loop if it does spontaneously reboot or crash.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
I ended up going back around and doing a no-kernel reflash with fsync enabled and much more conservative settings throughout. It seems to be pretty lag-free, and I think I'll let it ride unless the lag gets bad again or it bootloops. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
If you use the instructions in my guide to set up ROM2SD you shouldnt have any stability issues and you shouldnt need to have fsync enabled.

Im using hunds kernel 3.4.4 and i havent had any random reboots, botloops, or stability issues since i set up my tablet using rom2sd over a month ago. It balances perf and stability due to its usage of dynamic fsync.

If you use my guide to set up you tablet you should never run into lag issues ever again. Other users are getting the same results after using my guide.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
That sounds awesome, and if I have more lag issues that's where I'm going next. Meanwhile, I'm twice bitten thrice shy and will keep fsync on unless the lag gets bad again. Thanks for the good advice anyway. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Haha nice, language with some personality. I get that, i would want to use my tablet for a bit after what you have been through.

All the best,

[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Any chance you can either make a flashable tweak file or preload them into a kernel release? Thx!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I have thought about it, however, I do not know how, and learning how would take away time from more research/testing. I have a lot of stuff in the pipeline still.

I am also reluctant to do this because I firmly believe people should learn how to apply these manually, on their own, like i did, for their own sake. Its better for the community and ourselves as individuals in the long run. This is why I go into so much detail and explain every little thing. I am trying to spread knowledge just as much as improve others experience. Applying everything manually only requires that you write a script that is less than 10 lines and edit the CPU profiles on your own. This should not take more than 15 min once you learn how to write a script (takes maybe an hour at most), which I have written a very thorough guide about lol. You see the pattern here? haha

I appreciate the feedback tho, sorry I cant help you in the way that you want.

all the best,

Lucius
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
TBH, I'm not a speed freak, so I'm really happy with just enough tweaking to get over the RAM issue. Now that I've slain the lag, I run in Power Save mode pretty much all the time and really enjoy the user experience. This is how it should be, IMHO - Power Save for day to day work, Balanced for hard work, and Performance for "if my hand could move that fast I'd never leave the house".
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
This tablet is the only computing device i have besides my phone. In order to be productive for school and work I need to use web apps bc the native android apps lack functionality. Based on the load that I place on my tablet I need extra tweaking to avoid lag (if you hadnt noticed I despise any lag, it takes away from my productivity). Good luck avoiding lag while using the web version of google drive or evernote in floating browser while simultaneously reading a pdf or an article in the stock browser lol. I have to get creative if I want a lag free experience under that kind of load. I need to be able to multitask like a madman bc I dont have a laptop. My tweaks arent necessarily about speed/power either. I need my tablet to last an entire day on a single charge. They are focused more on responsiveness and efficiency than anything.

Really glad things are working well for you though. We all have different needs :).
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
:wut: Floating browser? :quick play store search: Wait, what? :install: Hmm. Interesting. :mind=blown:.

That's kind of a lot of awesome, and it's totally at home on an ultra high res device like the TF700. I've found the app version of most of the things I use to be as feature rich as the web, but this probably just reflects that I am mostly a content consumer with my tablet. That said, I get great mileage out of Google Drive and Quick office. Another example is Tapatalk, which is noticeably faster than the web interface on tablet for all forum actions I've seen while presenting a rich feature set.

Meanwhile, you totally have my respect taking on that challenge with just this little tab and a phone. Considering how **** it was before the mod, I can only imagine what a huge lifesaver this has been. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
I had been having issues with my tablet's touch screen sensitivity until a few weeks ago. I assumed it was the screen protector, but I found that there were days where I had great success. But there were other days where it took several touches to get any thing to register. I even tried one of those apps that shows where your touches are. So many touches never even showed up.

But alas...I found a fix. A good one. And I don't mind doing it again every couple of days. It is a little unorthodox, but it has worked on my tablet and two other devices. Worth trying if you are having issues with any of your devices.

Preheat a skillet on the low side of medium. Take two slices of rye bread, with the seeds, and lightly butter them (just a little on one side of each slice). Take about 1/4 pound of thinly sliced pastrami (beef worked for me, but you can try turkey at your own risk) and pile it onto a plate. Do not put it on a napkin! Microwave that pastrami for 30 seconds. Place one slice of bread in the skillet, butter side down, and then a slice of Swiss cheese on that bread. Pile the preheated pastrami on that, then another slice of Swiss, then the other slice of bread, butter side up this time. After just a minute or two, carefully flip it all over to brown the other side of the sandwich. (Optional: Pour yourself a homebrew) When both sides of the sandwich are browned, eat it. DO NOT USE A NAPKIN WHILE YOU EAT IT. A napkin will make all of this for naught.

Now go play with your tablet. And use it to learn how to make your own beer at home. You have earned it, because you have corrected your touch screen issues.

Cheers!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sanstorm:
Hey Guys,

Really hoping someone can help me out here. I've been trying to root a friend's Xperia U for the past 3 days now, without much luck!

Its on ICS, Firmware ST25a 6.1.1.B.1.10, unlocked bootloader. The two methods are Bin4ry's and using FlashTool .For starters, USB debugging is enabled.

In both cases, the phone was undetected, even after installing loads of drivers found all over the web. After extensive reading, I came across a suggestion to enable USB tethering, and lo behold! The phone was detected!

"What's the problem then?", you ask?

Well, after following the careful instructions to restore the 'RootME' backup (on the phone), it phone reboots. When it comes back on, the screen is a mess, very dark (similar to a burnt screen) and extremely slow to respond. I read elsewhere that this is quite normal(!) and will be fixed after subsequent reboots.

The problem lies here, as I believe USB tethering is no longer ticked after the reboot, and it needs to be, doesn't it? Both Flashtool and the script wait for the phone to be detected, with no change at all. I somehow manage to navigate to 'Settings', but on trying to access tethering, it always crashes as below:

"Unfortunately settings has stopped"

Ugh.

How do I see the message when the screen is burnt out, you ask?

Pulling down the notification bar lets me see parts of the screen on its way down, and back up :D

Soooo...

Without USB tethering enabled, rooting does not complete, and I am left with a nearly un-useable device (until a factory reset). My internet speeds are terrible, and I am now in the process of downloading another firmware (6.1.1.b.1.54) in the hopes that it does not need USB tethering enabled to be detected by Flashtool (or Bin4ry's scripts)!

Thoughts?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sanstorm:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sanstorm:
Somebody?

Anybody?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wadaaaa:
First thing is I dont own xperia U!

But the way that I root my sola, is flashin cwm kernel and then flashing su binarys from cwm.

I think that method works with U.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sanstorm:
No luck!

Thanks for the tip!

But..

I had flashed firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54 to try my luck with that, downloaded the CWM for the unlocked bootloader from here. It was a '.elf' fle, so I followed the steps mentioned here to flash it. I hope these are the correct steps I followed?

I get the output as:

===

07/038/2013 17:38:01 - INFO - FASTBOOT Output:

sending 'boot' (16384 KB)...

FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)

finished. total time: 0.002s

===

:silly:

Once again, I should mention that the phone is detected only when "USB tethering" is enabled.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
And you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wadaaaa:
If i remeber correctly, I had same problem with my sola. Have you updated flashtools drivers? Located c:\flashtool\drivers. And have you fastboot without flashtool?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sanstorm:
Got it done :)

Thanks a lot for your inputs guys!

In the end, I handed it over to a pal who got it done :)

The drivers seemed to be the issue, I had installed so many of them, I doubt my violated machine would ever touch an Xperia again :eek:

There is no best custom rom and these questions are not allowed on xda. Try them yourself and come to a conclusion what rom fits you the best.
[HTC One X] KidCarter93:
As mentioned above by Mr Hofs, there is no such thing as a best ROM. This is because we all have different wants and needs as far as ROMs/kernels are involved. For example, I always prefer a stock ROM with performance enhancements instead of running AOSP or something similar.

Due to the fact these type of threads usually dissolve into arguments, as mentioned above, these types of threads are not allowed :)

Do you have a custom ROM?

Whatever the answer do this: pull up another phone's camera and look at the top of the phone if you see a purple light there is your answer, the ir blaster on the phone is flashing without being told to. If you are stock take it in for warranty repair, if not stock change ROMs or try reflashing the current one
