[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
i have been using my tablet for studying and lately, it has been very laggy to the point of being unbearable!

i have no technical experience about the subject matter but decided to go ahead and try to unlock, root and install a ROM. the goal of which was to improve the tablet's responsiveness and usability. i was very positive upon learning about the DATA2SD mod.

i followed the instructions found on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383 (CROMi-X 5.3a)

the tablet boots and runs, but when i ran tests (AndroBench), the Random Write Speeds were mere 0.2mb/s.. yet the SD mod seems to be in effect! as such, i could even access sdcard0 and sdcardi in file explorerers.

i mounted the sd card, class 10 Sandisk, onto my phone and ran a test using A1 SD Bench.. the results showed 8.1- 11.1 mb/s write speeds..

what did i do wrong? i have been very stressed by this entire process.. i was doing things i have never done before, and worst, i knew very little about what i was doing.

someone pls help me!

Edit.. heres a pic showing info about my storage..

i partition the 32GB card into: Fat32 5GB and EXT4 25GB
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You must have done something wrong as you should have noticed a difference.

Did you go straight to data2sd? Which kernel and options did you choose? Clean wipe or dirty flash on top of stock? Did you choose all the apps or do a lighter install?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You are comparing the results of two different benchmarks?
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
i was previously on cromi 3.2.. rebooted.. then flashed the data2sd.. but that didnt work so i did more reading and finally, i found your signature on the forum. clicked on the tf700 option and tada! i found cromi 5.3! and it had built in data2sd! i was ecstatic! great thanks by the way! :)

i booted in recovery and performed a factory reset, then,

since i was using twrp 2.4, i flashed the suggested bootloader with the latest twrp (WW series), then rebooted, then went into recovery.

installed cromi 5.3 with the following selections

_that os (first option) , data2sd enabled

240 dp

cromi xlite + stock launcher

default options for stock apps

default options for misc apps

music fx

added polaris, titanium back-up, emulator, LMT (i was very found of the pie controls)

rebooted, then went into recovery to install the 5.3a patch..

the tablet boots, runs, i even have the sea wallpaper now.. but the random write speed is still the same as before.. still 0.2mb/s

super thanks sdbags for replying!
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
the tablet has very poor write speeds (or so i read).. its original speed would 0.2mb/s.. i read that by using Androbench i would be able to verify if data2sd speed enhancement is in effect.

i posted the sd card write speed to clarify that i am indeed using a class 10 sd card..

or am i using them wrong? i dont really have enough know-how about this, i have just been reading and rereading guides.. i just started.. i dont know why things go wrong, or how to troubleshoot them..

EDIT:

so i transferred the sd card unto my phone, ran Androbench and choose the micro option, results for random write was 1mb/s..

if it matters, my phone is a SGS4 Snapdragon variant
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You may not have data2sd running. Did you format the card in GParted first form a linux distro as is required?
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
yes i did.. it was a very intense experience! i booted from a usb then partitioned my sd card in Gparted..

i was sorta desperate, i flashed mount_data2sd.zip just now, like 5mins earlier. if it matters, i took a screenshot of my storage..

but i cant link it cause im a new member, instead i edited my questioned and added it there..

ran Androbench, got 0.18mb/s :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The sandisk is it an ultra uhs-1 class 10? Did you do a clean install? You don't need to use the mount zip for installing the ROM - that is only for TWRP operations. The rom installer should figure it out for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
hmm.. it says SDHC.. could it be that i have the wrong type of sd card? if so, then thats great news! maybe if i change my sd card, ill have better results? at this point, i would really rather prefer a physical problem than technical ones..

i always did a factory reset if thats what clean install means..

i'm beginning to conclude that the sd card is the main problem here..I really do hope changing to another SD card will solve it.. super thanks sir for your time and knowledge!!!

sorry for the wait.. i had to weait for 5mins, got distracted while waiting for the time limit to expire
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
SDHC should be OK (must be 32GB or lower?)

I just ran AndroBench on my internal SD Card with fsync disabled - I'll run it on my Sandisk UHS-1 Class 10 64GB SDXC in a minute

Internal SD Card /data

External SD Card /data (ROM2SD/DATA2SD)

As you can see they are approx the same as the external data setup gives the same benefits as internal + fsync without the dangers of disabling fsync.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
With fsync off you are just measuring the write speed of your RAM. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
its a 32GB card sir..

as for the external data setup vs internal.. i dont seem to comprehend.. does external mean the DATA2SD mod? im really sorry, but much of the terms are very new to me..
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If you are using data2sd or rom2sd then /data is on your external sd card.

Run the same test as me what do you get?
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
these are my results..

i cant express enough my gratitude for your guidance.. please continue to help me through this process
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
would a reinstall possibly fix this?

how I plan to reinstall..

reboot to recovery, advance wipe everything (same options, will not do anything about fsync)

then reinstall cromi 5.3, go back to home

then flash 5.3a patch, then reboot

would that be okay? i am scared to brick my device.. or how should i go about it? i have copied my files to my computer and do not have many apps, i use my tablet solely really for studying.. so a total wipeout really wont bother me..
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
BTW I tried the benchmarks without fsync disabled and got very similar to yours so it looks like the card controller is rubbish on the transformer as well. But the rom should feel zippy even so.

If you want to wipe your data2sd partition you'll need to run the mount zip first.

Why don't you just try a nice clean install on internal first - let's get that up and running.
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
heres what i did..

factory reset, then wipe internal.. then flash mount zip, delete internal (just to make sure)

then flash cromi-x 5.3, home, flash 5.3a patch then reboot (this time i disabled fsync)

the tablet booted, runs

i did perform any backups but i still have androbench and google drive(i used it to transfer the screenshots)? isnt it suppose to be gone? even my pie shorcuts are still here..

i ran the test again, here are the results (even the screenshot shortcut settings remained the same, shouldnt it have been affected by the reset as well?

anyway, the numbers showed big imporvements on write speeds!
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
i dont know if this helps, but heres my storage:

sdcadi, data and datai are all empty
[Asus Transformer TF700] technocephalgia:
I would like to thank you alot sir! I simply cannot afford a new tablet. Your work has breathed new life to my. More power to you sir!

As a matter of fact, I am tying this from my tablet! There isn't a thanks button in sight though.. I will hit thanks as soon as I get on the computer! Currently slaving away in the library..

Hi,

A few months ago I installed two roms, creating a second partiton. I've being struggling not to fill the device memory for the past month. So now I want to delete it and recover the memory to my main rom.

Is there any busybox command to achieve this? Or a link to a step-by-step instruction on how to do this?

I've being googling around and couldn't find it. I would really appreciate some guidelines.

Thanks!

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3ava:
Hey I got a "system update" last night and once it was applied my gpad restarted in TWRP. It will not boot up into the OS.

I am running a rooted gpad with twerp and bone stock LG android(no custom rom of any sort)

I have looked into XDA and found similar threads but for the G2, to my understanding they are very similar in many ways but I would like to confirm that the solution I found is ok for the gpad or if there is another workaround:

If you have ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.(<- what is the reboot command btw?:P)

It also gives a solution without ADB but it doesn't concern me. Does anyone know if this procedure can be followed for the Gpad as well? is there something that must be altered?

Thank you for your patience
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3ava:
guess so, thing is I have no idea what this code means and if its device specific to the G2. Just in case this makes more of a mess. Also wondering if flashing a custom rom on top would fix it
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
Thats no code thats only adb comands

U can try it with zero to no hurt

And yes flashing custom or even just wiping data would do the trick

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsika:
if you ve got official rom with root or custom recovery OTAs wont work and they ll semibrick the gpad like in your case. The safe methods i know is either using lg mobile support tool to go back to full stock or flash a custom rom via the twrp.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3ava:
Right cause I dont like the ADB method I have tried:

Factory reset-Didnt work

Full wipe (dalvic etc ) -Didnt work

Tried to install a stock based rom(forgot the name)-Did not work:o

I'll try 1 more rom and then if that doesnt work I'll try the ADB business and if that doesnt work try to revert back to bone stock
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3ava:
okay guys this is getting frustrating nothing works.

I downloaded the drivers for the gpad again, and I tried to use the lg software to flash stock recovery, but it wont find my device. has anyone experienced something similar or knows how to resolve this its getting really frustrating.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fbien:
I needed to be in download mode to be reconized by LG Mobile Support Tool (I downloaded and installed different versions of LG Mobile drivers too many times before to do the the right thing)

To enter download mode :

1. Turn off the tablet. (from TWRP menu )

2. Push vol+ and vol- same time. (both buttons + don't relase)

3. Insert usb cable (both buttons still pressed)

4. A small image DOWNLOAD MODE not so visible should appear on the tablet

5. Release both buttons.

LG Mobile Support Tool reconized my tablet and I could start the recovery (still waiting 1.5Gb to be downloaded)

It does work in the solution given without adb, from TWRP itself. Just tried it, no data loss, no computer needed.

I have gone through 3 of them and they all seem to be a little off from fully covering the screen has anyone found one that cover 100% of the screen ?:confused:
[One (M7) Accessories] xxquicksh0txx:
Screen protectors need a little gap from the edges, or they'll peel off.

Any reputable brand should be good. Ghost Armor, Zagg... Etc
[One (M7) Accessories] PharmD208:
I got a case from Urban Armor Gear that comes with a screen protector that firs perfectly. These are awesome cases and I highly recommend them.
[One (M7) Accessories] nugzo:
I'll never use a plastic screen protector again. Tempered glass is the only way to go. It's easier to put on and protects way better. Not to mention how wonderful it feels to the touch!

+ 1 i got the feather glass ant i won't go back
[One (M7) Accessories] xdafo:
Before purchasing it, you should ask the seller and you can see the reviews first. Mostly, the customers will tell you whether the screen protector fits their phone. You can have another try, hope you can find the fittest one.:laugh:
[One (M7) Accessories] onefasttreopro:
Try out the halo branded protectors on amazon...I did a review of them a while ago and for the price, clarity, and fit you can't go wrong...
[One (M7) Accessories] spider84a:
What i recommend is that you search for screen protector specyfically for you model... I suggest you buy Niklin Crystal Screen Protecotr - a bit more expensive but fits the screen perfectly and looks great..

Also, a handy tip. While changing the screen protector I recommend you do it in the bathroom after you have taken bath/shower- The steam does not let any dust sit on your screen and makes life much easier !
[Moto X Q&A] coreno:
The guides in the general board make several references to the 4.2.2 Camera Update.

What was the 4.2.2 Camera Update and why do some people want to go back to it? Is this just an issue on phones with a locked bootloader?
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
if you can't unlock your bootloader you have to go back to 4.2.2 CU in order to root 4.4

unlocked bootloaders it really dose not matter what OTA you go to because you just install customer recovery and SUperSU

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Hi Guys,

I'm a casual user and usually get 2 days out of my battery with roughly 1-2 hours of screen time. I manage my wifi/data and have, "battery saver," mode set in my location settings.

A few days ago, my battery was on 70% when I went to bed. I awoke in the middle of the day and realised that my alarm had not gone off. :mad: The phone had turned off and when I turned it on, the battery was down at 3% and Google Search had consumed the battery.

Having a look around to find any possible reason, I stubbled on the, "Location Reporting," settings which were both on. I've now turned these both off and my battery life seems to loose 25% per day rather than the usual 50% per day. :D

What are your experiences with Location Reporting Settings and Battery Life?

Thanks.

Edit: just done another cycle and I am certainly 10 to 20 better battery wise than with location reporting on.
