Wow - really? No known issues at all?!
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
It's built on the stock base...... What issues are there with stock? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
Fair enough! :)

One thing that's always driven me nuts about the stock ROM is the screen flicker issues that many complain about (due to the power saving "features" perhaps, or some other reason). Along with the other improvements here, has that been resolved by chance?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
II set smart dimmer to off in the kernel and firmware if that is what you mean but I don't use the auto brightness as Asus messed it up.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trel725:
Delete please
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
Awesome. That might be what I mean... I'll have to flash in order to find out. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Zeuszoos:
Well dude, I installed it. :)

It came right back up looking like it already did. You were right. It went right over the existing one, just like you said. :)

I'm going to test some stuff out and see just how fast and smooth it is. I wasn't sure what to do on a couple of things, like resolution, so I went with the default (the launcher as well).

Just on thing... PLEASE do NOT leave me hanging on KitKat v4.4.2 CROMi-X, like the guy who did the ROM for the Note 2 I had did! He said one would be out (I would not have installed his ROM otherwise, because I knew 4.4.2 was coming) and then he bought a Note 3 and ditched his Note 2 ROM altogether! Shame, cause it was a damn nice ROM he came up with!

Anyway, thanks! :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Zeuszoos:
I installed the ROM (this one), but had to go back. After install, it came up fine, but then after about 5 minutes, it froze up for about a minute and then rebooted.

In the middle of that boot, it started rebooting itself over and over halfway through booting.

I finally got into CWM Recovery and tried installing it again, using the "US" version this time, but had the same results.

So I finally ended up going back to my stock ROM (Rooted, of course).

I guess it's just not gonna work for me. Unless you've seen this before and maybe have an idea what might be causing it???
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Well you probably need to provide a logcat to be sure but that is usually caused by not being on the 10.26.1.18 bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Zeuszoos:
Honestly, I never pay attention to that. It has never mattered on any device I've ever had and I have never once had a device match what was supposedly needed. I was told that about just putting CWM Recovery on this thing. Not true.

It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that this is the first time it's made a difference. It never matches and there are no more updates for this tablet. It's simply never going to be at .18, period.

I'm currently at 10.26.1.7

My question is, since I have every single update done and I have the same tablet as everyone else and since I only bought mine a month ago, how can my bootloader not be where theirs are? How can it be older, when my tablet is newer and all updates are done? I promise you, there are no updates waiting. In fact, I just checked again.

Like I said, I believe you. I really do. I saw the proof that you're right, right in front of my eyes. :)

But what am I supposed to do about it?

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

I never experienced ny screen issues with stock. But maybe it's due to the power saving method they're using? There's a powersaving tool that comes with the tablet from Asus and it has three different modes. Like I said, I haven't had any bad effects on my screen, but I have seen it quickly dim down and brighten back up and I know that the util in action, so maybe some screen flicker is possible? Maybe they're using an aggresive mode?

I don't know dude. That's just a guess to be honest. Something to check though, no? :)

Just FYI, personally, I use the "Balanced" mode.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Listen it always matters on Asus devices. You have a lot to learn in my opinion. There is a reason you have to be on the latest bootloader, simply put the kernel and ROM won't load properly. Forget what you think you know and follow the instructions.

You should also know you no longer get OTA updates once unlocked so your path is much more tricky now. I think you need to install the stock recovery from droid basement, then downgrade to the ASUS stock 4.2.2 ROM, then upgrade to the latest again from the Asus website. Please read in the general section how to do it if you want to proceed and ask questions there.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]Anything that can be done for our tablet ??? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fix-the-ambient-light-issues-on-your-google-nexus-5-using-xposed/
[Asus Transformer TF701] fredderf81:
I can't seem to install Microsoft office for android on this. Anyone else have this issue? Am I doing something wrong? Play store won't even find it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Is it compatible with the TF701?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
I'm no expert, but here's the issue it aims to fix... and why it may not help us. From what I can tell, I don't think it addresses the same problems that plague the TF701:

"Abusalimov’s Xposed Module works by intercepting all ambient light sensor readings, and replacing the erroneous 30000 lux value, which occurs due to HAL problems."

...But in my experience, the ambient light sensor is not all to blame for the TF701's flickering backlight issues. What I've noticed, is that the screen will dim or brighten depending on the screen content (what's being displayed). For example, with brightness set to auto, if you bring up a mostly-white web page the screen will dim (presumably to save power -- because in theory, a lesser contrast could be used when viewing a white page). If you bring up a darker page, the screen will brighten a bit. This is what causes the flickering too (or even mostly!).

I'm not saying that there isn't something wrong with the light sensor or its driver -- but it doesn't seem to be the only culprit. The worse problem might be some kind of wickedly aggressive "power saving" Asus has tried to implement, that scales back screen contrast depending on screen content. This would explain why turning off the "power saving" mode on the tablet is a workaround.

Seriously though, if anyone ever finds a solution to this annoying flickering problem, I would be thrilled. It's one of the worst issues imho.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
That's the point of automatic brightness. Turn it off if you don't like it...???

I never use it and I don't have any flickering....
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
? Not so. I think you misunderstand:

"Automatic brightness" typically refers to a system whereby the device's ambient light sensor is utilized to increase / decrease the strength of the actual LED backlight behind the display. My point is, the TF701 does not simply use the ambient light sensor to decide how bright the display should be in "automatic" mode (I wish it did!); unfortunately, it also seems to modify brightness based on the content of what you're actually displaying. If that latter feature could be turned off, that might be part of the solution.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
What makes you think that your definition of 'automatic brightness' is the same Asus used for this tablet?

Maybe they only base it on the content you are displaying.....

And still - I do not have any flickering on CROMi-X with automatic brightness turned off.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
Seriously? What implementation of "automatic brightness" would NOT use a device's ambient light sensor?!

Sheesh... let's just agree to disagree on that one. Regardless, yes, keeping auto brightness off entirely is a workaround for the screen flickering. "Workaround" being the operative word; this is not a solution. Hence my post.

Anyway, back on topic:

Anyone else getting a critical battery icon (a battery with an exclamation point inside) on the top left when using the dock, even when tablet and dock are both fully charged? The icon appears only when docked but is persistent regardless of charge level. Fresh install of Chromi-X.

Office Suite pro, is far better in my opinion. I think it is regularly $14 however it goes on sale for $0.99 fairly often.

[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
hey sbdags i cant seem to change resolution with terminal anymore if i pick a different resolution in aroma.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
You need to delete the file for RES in /etc/init.d first, do the reset commands, reboot

Then you can change it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
Thanks, have a good day!

What resolution do all of you play games at I am seeing lag playing on 2560 especially asphalt 8
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
If I need to I drop down to 1920x1200 or 1600x1000 ;) If you really need speed then you can go all the way down to 1280x800.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
I found it easier just to turn the quality down in Asphalt a little. It use to be smooth before Asphalt had an update and then it started to lag.

I like the tablet @ 2560 for everything except that 1 game, so opted to change the game settings.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
Hey sbdags,

Looks like some users received an OTA update (apparently even fixing the dreaded auto brightness issue). Anyway, have you had a look at it? What else is in it?
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
there is new ota?

[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
Damn my luck, you have a screen protector too right

[Asus Transformer TF701] dkorunic:
Hi, I've recently got TF701, upgraded to latest stock and flashed CROMi-X v6.1 straight away (after full wipe). I've noticed that System process uses 100% of CPU most of the time, so the CPU frequency stepping basically never works and CPU is in highest frequency setting almost all the time even when I'm not doing anything at all. Any clues?
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
I don't think you can change the min cpu frequency.

At least you can't set different max and min
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I set it so it steps up to max frequency sooner that is all...... How are you monitoring it? You'll see it does use other frequencies but max_load happens faster. I don't think it's an issue as it would do this on normal usage but just take a bit longer to get there.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dkorunic:
Hi sbdags,

I'm using SetCPU and CPU Spy (actually, both are just looking into Linux /proc filesystem). I've reverted to stock Asus kernel and battery usage seems quite better. Also it seems that disabling auto rotation helped somewhat as well.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Well SETCPU is very old and doesn't work.

Use trickstermod to monitor. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
My screen is on 70% of the time, so I can't blame battery dying fast :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
Finally got one, and flashed your ROM straight away :fingers-crossed:

It is working quite well, very smooth, no FC whatsoever.

However I get those graphical glitches that I read about, which I also noticed when I was on stock.

Is this a known issue that I can do something about? Or do I have to just live with it? I'm sorry if it's been mentioned already, I did perform a quick search on my new TF701 :cyclops:

Just to be specific, the glitches I mentioned are similar to what you'd get when you overclock your GPU too much, it's just that it does not end up crashing :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Hangon - which graphical glitches - I haven't seen any - are you talking about flashes or lines?
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
I would say lines. Multi-colored lines. Not on the whole screen, and only at some specific time. For example right now I'm not having any but 2h ago I was writing a mail in gmail and I got some. I hope my unit is not faulty :eek::p
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Not seen that on the tegra4. Did you enable the GPU setting in the installer?
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
I don't think I did, I believe it was off by default and since I didn't know how it would behave I left it off.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
go to settings, about, click build number 7 times, developer settings, force gpu enable - does that help?
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
It seems better with that option on - I haven't had any since enabling it. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
Actually after using it a bit more I was able to reproduce the issue much more often.

Issue was already discussed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658191&page=3

I simply had to disable hardware overlays.

Sorry fo being slightly OT, just wanted to make sure it would be easier for somebody having the same problem to find the solution.:cowboy:

Back to the ROM itself, are there good battery tricks to apply? I'm down to 8%, tablet was up for 20h, 7h screen time with no intensive CPU/GPU/network usage.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Battery seems to be an issue right now - I'll need to look into what is causing the drain. The thing is you can't have the super smoothness and not have some battery hit.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
I respect that, clash of clans eats battery too ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:

Will this room fix the performance issues. I am on stock 4.3 and getting hitches here and there. It's not all smooth.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
"performance issues" like what?

I did not have performance issues on stock and I don't on this rom...
[Asus Transformer TF701] pachi72:
Like hitches here and there. Like it stutters for a millisecond or 2 the it's normal.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
The question remains the same: Where? what app? In what situation?

The performance of any tablet depends a good deal on what you install, how you use it, how you maintain it...

And that is the big advantage in roming and rooting IMHO: It's very easy to wipe and restore - start with a clean slate.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pachi72:
Nova launcher is a good example. Swiping left and right you can tell on the performance issues
[Asus Transformer TF701] blickley:
I use Nova and don't have issues with either stock or this rom. Buttery smooth. Sounds like something else is going on with your device, maybe something else running in the background?

That usually means /system not mounted. Export the aroma log and recovery log from /tmp after flashing.

Hello, my friend! :)

As you know, I now have this ROM running on my TF701T and all was going well! And I have been installing my apps and setting the preferences the way I like them in the apps, etc..

I was finally finishing up today, when all of the sudden, I started getting the message (a little black pop up box) that says;

"System UI Has Stopped!'

If I just tap "OK" (which is the only option), then it seems to run fine. The UI doesn't disappear or anything. It's like a normal startup, except for that message.

All I installed today, was some Astronomy apps and some games. But I did not start receiving the message until I had finished everything.

I do use both Greenify and BootManager, but I took out all apps from those, so that nothing is being halted at startup anymore. I have not had any problems with those apps before, even with your ROM, but I figured just in case, let me take everything out of those two apps, ya know? So Greenify is now blank and BootManager is not halting anything at startup.

I thought that maybe either you, or someon else in here has seen this happen before, because I never ave with any ROM. I'm not saying it's your ROM's fault. I just thought maybe it's an issue that has been raised before, because as I said, I have never seen this happen before.

Any suggestions?

Also, can I install your ROM over my setup again, without losing my setup (apps, Home Screens, etc.)? I thought maybe (like with Windoze), that might work???

Thank you for your time!!!

P.S.: I did finish all of the steps as you probably remember, to get my BootLoader up to ".18" and then put your ROM on and I did, as you can tell, start over from scratch with my apps, etc..
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes you can just install again and it won't overwrite anything.

As for app crashes or systemui crashes - you need to grab a logcat. It will tell you why it crashed. May not make sense but it's in there. Either use an app like catlog or do it over adb AFTER the crash.

adb logcat -d -v time > logcat.txt
[Asus Transformer TF701] pachi72:
Has anyone tried the 1900x1200 resolution option? Does it look good or bad?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Looks alright to me. You always lose a little bit when you run non native resolution the same as you would on a PC Monitor these days.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pachi72:
So it's not worth it? Would it look like a true 1900x1200 screen or worse.?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
It won't be as sharp no but you get a smoother response.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pachi72:
One more question. On 1900x1200 will all apps scale right or I am gonna run into problems?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Zeuszoos:
Ok, I'll look into that, because I tried reinstalling, which did go fine, but the issue still exists.

I keep thinking it has to have something to do with one of the games I installed, although I've never seen an issue like that after installing a game. Usually the game gives an error that has the name of the app/game in it.

However, there was no issue until after I put on around a dozen games. Then I started seeing it. I'm figuring I'll try that first. Uninstalling these games one by one and see what happens after 3 reboots (the message doesn't display in every boot).

I'll let ya know what happens and thanks again! :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
yes they will.

Bootloader 10.26.1.28

Hi all.

I'd rather ask than brick my device : is Cromi-X compatible with 10.26.1.28 (instead of 10.26.1.18) ?

I read this is the case with Crombi-kk, not sure about Cromi-x

And if so, what version of CWM should I use, i.e. will 6.0.4.7 be ok on 10.26.1.28 ?

Thanks,

T.

[Asus Transformer TF701] guerito73:
Hello,

I'm experiencing problems with cromi-x

My pad is rebooting frequently after standby, I think it is related to the dock keyboard.

Dock keyboard battery is frequently drained after standby mode, I am testing without keyboard to confirm my supposition.

Anyone have faced this kind of issue wwith cromi-x? My pad is rebooting one time on two exiting standby when keyboard is connected.

Is cromi-x support docking keyboard? I choose Asus kernel which aroma installer.

Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
No issues Cromi-x and a dock here.

No excess drain of the dock battery either.

I don't remember which kernel I selected but if there was a modified stock, I selected that one.

The random reboots sounds like the incorrect bootloader version.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I think you are on to something there [MENTION=2203685]Sleeepy2[/MENTION] ;) NO reboots here either. What bootloader are you on [MENTION=5728454]guerito73[/MENTION]?

My boot loader is 10.26.1.18

Thanks for your help :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Sorry, my only suggestion would be to wipe and start clean to see if it continues. Hopefully you use Titanium backup or something like it so that you can restore some of your apps later...
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
No problems with the dock here either.

I think it's time for a clean install to check if the problem persists.

Heck - I'm going to clean-flash the rom next chance I get. Haven't flashed (or flushed???) this baby in months! I don't have any problems either, but.... it doesn't feel right [emoji12]
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Haha, was thinking the same myself. I haven't flashed anything on this in so long was thinking to do a clean flash just for something to do.

Maybe if sbdags wasn't so lazy he would make something new for us to flash ;) just for fun :P
[Asus Transformer TF701] guerito73:
Wipe data factory reset seems to have fixed my issue.

Confirmed that it was dock related.

Anyway, thanks for the tips; I' m now considering to jump to kk :p
