Factory Reset/Lag/Gapps

Yes I would highly recommend to doing a full wipe if your going to install a new rom, the main reason is that your coming from stock..

This may be your lag issue.. always give a rom flash 20-30 mins to simmer before doing any testing.. There are a few options in settings we can talk about if doing a fresh install does not fix... There is no need to reboot between rom install and gapps install.. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thx as always lj

Hello again,

Congrats for this rom and for the prompt reply :)

I've done as you've said and after about an hour it seems to be working fine.

I would like to ask a couple of things:

1. Is there any way to change the size of the icons, since at the tf700 screen they seem to be not HD when in main menu?

2. Can I have a smoother transition when swipping around the homescreens? (tried changing transition animation scale to .5x, haven't seen much difference)

3. As I see there is an OTA update at the Downloads section, should I install this? (Is there any changelog?)

4. Can I install xposed framework and gravity box?

Sorry for the many questions, but I am excited after finally getting access to all the goodies :laugh:

No worries. Thx for the list of things very professional, neat, orderly... Thx for that:highfive:

That is a launcher 3 thing.. The stock launcher that we use... it is HD and the res is correct.. We are looking at different launchers to use just waiting for a little more stability, before merging anything that will change things that much.....

Yes turn animation off... I always turn the cpu governor minimum to the 500 mhz range (I dont see a huge battey draw from doing this)

Yes read post 3 about OTA's

Yes install xpoded framework and gravity box ( Just be careful with your modifications)

If there is anything else I can help with let me know.... As always thx lj

P.S I will update post 3 to include a link to the changelog....

When I try to add my details for my current profile like my Name Number E-mail and various info, the text is white on a white background so I can't see it.

Posting some testing results.

I have the keyboard dock for the TF700t.

The USB port works fine as does the Mouse input. One issue I noticed is that the volume control buttons on the keyboard do not work in any GOOGLE application. Seems strange I know but at the Home screen or in youtube the button doesn't work. There is a little notification that I"m trying to change the volume in the notifications panel but the actual level doesn't change. I have to push the hardware buttons on the tablet to adjust the volume.

If anyone has anything they want me to test with the Dock let me know i'll give it a whirl.

CONS:

Doesn't appear to be any native Email or Contacts app for me... am I missing something?

Using "OK GOOGLE" command at the Google Now page doesn't seem to be working.

Yep, and if I don't have a stable base rom.. I can never have a stable OTA... So as a developer, I must eliminate as many variables as possible....There are lots of changes being made by CM and as I have found out, not all of them are changes that will bring stability.. but without this testing going on we would never find out what works and what does not.....Thx as always lj

possible brick?

i am fearing the worst here.

I successfully installed Philz recovery and installed the latest CMB 4.4.2 ROM. Even gotten as far as booting into the system. I then did a Factory Reset (which I now regret). Now I am facing with an Android in service screen as per the attached screen shot.

I am not able to boot into recovery at all (Power + Volume Down), I am pretty much stuck. Can't use Fastboot either :(. Even tried NVFlash, but it needs Fastboot.

Anyone had similar experience before or perhaps a way to get it booting again?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
NVFlash does not need fastboot, it doesn't even need a bootloader.

You can however try to connect via adb shell to your recovery and clear the misc partition:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=64 count=1

Then reboot to recovery, it should work.

I've been doing some testing on the keyboard dock too and here are my findings:

- The volume keys do not do anything- that notification that shows in the notification bar for volume just states the current level and does not change it, however I also found that I get the same issue when I press the volume rocker on the tablet as well. The only way I can easily change the volume is by holding the rocker and then I get the standard android popup slider thingymobob (technical, I know)

- The browser button says "Launch Browser" in the notification, but nothing happens, this very well may be because I do not have a default browser, but shouldn't it bring up the selection?

- The media prev/play/next button do not do anything either, at least in Play Music, just tested on Pandora and apollo

- found this one it only on my Colemak layout setting - caps lock always notified me caps lock off - but I think there is a fix out there for it somewhere

A couple of questions here;

- Any news on OTA?

- Why cant I run TRIM? I use LagFix

- BS Player seems to crash everytime I try to skip a scene. This is important since BS Player is the only I know that have HW decode of mkv files and doesnt consume a lot of battery. Tried to clear data and reinstall, and it didnt help.

- Sometime the wallpaper seems to change automatically. Often after a crash. When try to change the wallpaper it always change it to the green leaf background not matter what a select. Sorted out when I rebbot, but occurs again. Not so important issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] theetimryder:
I can't comment on too much on those issues but I know that MX player I use works great on this and has HW decoding of mkv on this build.

New Full Zip

Going to be uploading a new full zip... I would recommend a full wipe before installing....There are a few new things, The big one is the integration of trebuchet launcher... We are merging AOSP code with CM code... What happens is that google tries to keep us close to AOSP and CM tries to keep us as close to CM... So merging some of these changes can be a pain, but well worth the effort... We had to add CM's account login on first boot as we are CM based this should not come as a surprise...There is an option to skip this process, so I will just leave it to you, on what you would like to do with this new feature.. Thx as always lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] theetimryder:
Are you going to be updating the changelog with new fixes features on the first page?

Also what's the significant advantage of the trebuchet launcher?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Change log link in post one......The mods that can be done with a custom launcher are really what cm is going for.... Trebuchet is cm's stock launcher... It has taken some time for them to integrate it into 4.4... Than we had to merge it into our code, more time spent, but I think it will be a good thing.. It was on 4..3...Thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ali I Hagen:
Yes, MPlayer is doing a fine job. But it's lacking possibility to go online and search for subtitles

Not had chance to try your newer version but I was finding that gesture typing would not work with the previous one - the finger trail would show up on the screen but no words would actually be inserted into the text box - this was the case with gmail, the xda app and polaris office

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes it works but as I am using a 4.2.1 kernel with CM11 base the results aren't very quick. Nothing force closes though and everything seems to work - just slow.

This is as a rom2sd setup. So what I am going to do is repack the ramdisk for CM11 kernel with a few edits to see if it helps and then I'll cromi-fy it a bit more. Already got build.prop and init.d scripts running.

BTW on first flash about 5 apps went through the play-store and updated automatically - I assume this breaks the inverted apps look and feel? Can I switch to another gapps package and rebuild with the latest store gapps like I do in CROMi-X with no problems?

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Got the Asus Keyboard working no issues ;)

Do you mind if I knock up an installer to mix a bit of CMB and CROMi-X loving? No official forks or anything yet just a test run to see what happens?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
That sound great....Well there are not that many apps that are inverted from the play store we inline compile them with the rom the ones that are

inverted.....But I don't do any of that stuff not a themer,... I'm not lying when I have only be doing this for just about as long as KK has be out like the end of last year..

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I thought the kernel is built automatically while you build Android? At least in my device tree (derived from CM for Omni) I have this:

# Build kernel from source
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/asus/tf700t
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := cyanogenmod_cardhu_defconfig

However my published stock-derived kernels are all built with my self-built toolchain completely separate from Android - just because it's the process I was already familiar with.

If you need any specific help, just ask - here or in another thread.

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

:) that's not what I meant (but do try anyway), just wanted to say don't overestimate the changes in the CM kernel. The big differences are in Android, not in the kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Well we do compile the kernel but is not like anything I have ever head of our fearless leader is a very busy guy.. He has been a great teacher just giving me the basics and making me do all the leg work to learn but I just cant get my head around how I compile cm's kernel but we don't use a forked kernel from them to do it something about inline src???? No idea at all

I have tried to read about it but I just cant find anything on it I think the Idea here is that I don't have access to the kernel code so I cant mess it up LOL...

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Interesting as I am having the exact opposite. I cannot get this rom to work well at all at the moment. It is very laggy and not what I would call smooth at all. I was hoping to cromify it but I'm re-evaluating it now. I have it installed on a clean wipe but no good. Are there any special tweaks or kernel I need to apply? I would say it is 3x laggier than stock right now. Almost feels like it struggles with any kind of graphics updates, so scrolling, swiping etc are a lag fest.

Even with some tweaks applied like browser2ram the experience is very stilted and jumpy :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] bessertier:
First, sdbags thanks for all you do/have done in the android community. I am a 6-year noob when it comes to most of this stuff.

So forgive me if the below information is irrelevant, I'm not sure what is installed with a rom and what needs to be loaded differently
