What makes you think Intel is emulating Android?

Android is a legitimate Linux derivative with support for multiple architectures, X86-64 being one of them. So there is no emulation.

If you are being bottled necked and do not know what it is and you are rooted then use something like ES task manager to look at what is running on your tablet at any given point and how much free memory you have. ES task manager can also help you to stop certain services from running at boot up.

Also use the ASUS boost facility in the drop down menu to help clear up some ram for you.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyanis:
I was thinking of android games that have no x86 native platform. And also, the ram booster from the drop down menu cleans like 10mb of ram even though the tablet went on its own from 550mb (on boot) to 370mb after usually a day of usage.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitt69:
There are games that don't have X86-64 support, but this will change over time. It is unfortunate at the moment though that Google Play does not tell us which games do not have X86 support when downloading but as far as I am aware there is no emulation to make games or apps run with an x86 cpu. They either work or they don't

If you are ending up with 370mb of ram after a days use then I would say you are one of the lucky ones and it is because you have so much free ram that you do not see much difference using boost.

My average ram is more around the 250mb mark but I cannot say I am hitting any major bottle necks.

One feature you might want to check, if you haven't already, is the asus audio wizard and see what is set in there as there are power saving modes within that that may be restricting you.

Also what power saving mode is your tablet running? I just leave mine in the optimised mode
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyanis:
Many games that run on this tablet are actually emulated. In fact, the only game I found that had a native x86 platform was the beach buggy racing. Games like dead trigger 2, asphalt 8, kritika and many more are emulated. For example, i was bugged by this one map on dt2 that was lagging like crazy with no appearent reason (no extraordinary effects) and so i contacted their support team. They responded and said that this game has no optimization whatsoever for any intel chips and he said it shouldnt even run.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerbear294:

If they don't respond, try looking for libhoudini in system/lib

The only thing that I can find that may have any emulation is OpenGL going by the Android x86 project

To be fair this is conversation is going off topic now and really should be in the other thread for this tablet and not continued here.

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namagakumon:
Intel's libhoudini translates ARM native instructions into x86 ones. All official Android x86 devices should come with it. The fact that some apps crash is due to the fact that libhoudini is not perfect.

The only solution I've found to discover whether a native app has been compiled for x86 is to use apktool to decode the resources of the apk and look for a directory named lib/x86 or lib/x86_64. If there is only lib/armeabi or lib/armeabi-v7a, then you'll have to trust libhoudini.

Get back to stock version

Is there anyway to get back the stock apps on this device? I don't mind having my data deleted. I removed a necessary key app that doesn't allow "reading mode" to work using Jumobile and a whole bunch of other bloatware. I didn't make a backup. Is there an original ROM I Can flash to it or something to get it back to stock? Can anyone show me how? Thanks.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, I got my tablet back on Friday and I immediately rooted it again, removed a ton of bloatware, and restored my apps. The odd thing is, I left in all three apps related to Contacts, but I still occasionally get the message that Contacts has stopped. I also apparently removed the app that allows for customizing the apps that appear in the notification panel (Toolbox, I think?), and Reading Mode isn't there. It also crashes Settings when I try to access it from the Display settings. So I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I could live without most of those ASUS apps and features, but the question is, even if we COULD make backups, how would we restore them? :confused: Maybe PC software? ADB-wise?

What firmware are you on? .182?

Thanks for Root - Problems with Contacts are gone after Update

Hi there,

just want to say Thank You for the good work!

I read this forum when I orderd my M176C und thanks to the information provided here, rooted it yesterday with the RootZenFone-1.4.6.4r.

I wanted to update everything available from ASUS, so I was on 182. I did turn off the wifi and deleted the networks - ran the .apk - read the stuff - klicked on root. I counted to 10, while after 2 or 3 secs the demo and a message-button came up. I did not press the button. Restarted the pad at 10 or 11 secs.

Got root.

Noticed problems with Contacts-App which had to be closed. When I ran the Contacts everything was fine. But from time to time the message came up that it had to be closed (or similar). Annoying.

This morning the Play-Store provided a big Update with ASUS-Apps. Perhaps 10. (I have all the sh** still on the pad)

I had Contacts "frosen" with SD-Maid. So it was first not updated. I reactivted it and the Store showed an update.

When I wanted to update, it first did not want to. ( I don´t remeber the exact message.) So I restarted the pad. Than the update was ok and now all problems with contacts seem to be gone.

No message since 3 hours.

Could anybody please provide a List of the ASUS apps that can be removed or frozen safley?

I would appreciate very much!

By the way. Why is the PlayStore still 4.8 and not 5.0?

Thanks a lot!

However, this doesn't seem to apply if you didn't already MAKE the backup beforehand. And I've already tried sideloading a ROM via adb to recovery without success, either, so that's out of the question.

Now that I think about it, maybe you could try extracting those files from the ROM you downloaded and push them or copy them to the system/app folder and set permissions. The question is, which app(s) do you need to get it working again? I'd like to know as well because whatever it/they are, I deleted them too and I can't use Reading Mode either. I'm gonna IM or call ASUS again and see if I can get an answer to this.

EDIT: OK..... So, this was not very helpful. Well, in a way it wasn't. The rep said you can perform a system restore and the system apps and settings will be set back to stock, while your apps and data will go bye-bye. So back up, and do your factory reset. Which is BS, those apps are GONE once deleted. I told him so, but he claimed that he had years of experience and he couldn't be wrong. No, he's wrong.

I also asked him about the possibility of a bootloader unlocker, and get this, he said they used to have something for older devices, but they no longer have the software for that. WTF?! Then develop it! How hard could it possibly be to program one? They made the damn thing, they can unlock it. *smh*
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treklof:
Hi GuyInDogSuit,

what exactly should reading mode do? When I activate it, the processor is just set to 532 mhz at all 4 cores. I do not think that this is done by a Bloatware-App.

I froze all apps and found nothing that would help you.

Btw:

The only time I phoned Asus-Support the guy had no idea of what I was talking about. I will never phone them again. But I will stress them to open the bootloader.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treklof:
Sorry I was wrong.

You need Splendid and Splendidcommandagent.

But I don't like the yellowish look.

I bet you can extract from Asusupdate.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInDogSuit:
Well, that makes more sense then. Because I removed those. Didn't see a need for them. The one time I did use it (before rooting, that is) it didn't seem to make a difference anyway. I was trying to help someone else, though, but now we know what apps it depends on.

Yeah, the last time I phoned them, I argued with the guy about whether a factory reset will restore system apps and files that have been deleted. He insisted that they'd be restored and that he was speaking from YEARS of experience. Of course, he's wrong.
