Helly ya, that are good news! Looks like it is very safe now to do some rooting as we can return to stock rom with this method every time.

So i am close to buy this device too, just another confirmation if xposed is running without issues would be nice?

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
I received my tablet today. Here are my impressions so far :

The display is really good, it's high res, good colors, decent brightness, very good viewing angles and it's gorilla glass, so the surface is not only scratch resistant, but also smooth, my fingers glide easily on it. If you want a tip for an even better experience: go to the "splendid" app that comes pre-installed and reduce the color temperature all the way to minimum, and check vivid colors mode.

Build quality is very good, the plastic seems solid and it's got a nice touch. Mine is the gold version and it looks really stylish and elegant. One of the biggest pros of this device is the micro SD slot, combine that with the awesome display and this is a great multimedia product.

Cons:

- touch delay is DEFINETLY noticeable, in everything. It's practically imposibile to type fast on this tablet. Scrolling and even zooming in and out is also a pain. I really, really hope this is some kind of software issue that will be patched in future updates, otherwise this is a real deal-breaker for me. It doesn't matter what specs it has, if touch sucks, the performance sucks as well. The previous, weaker model I purchased before this, the ME176C that I payed half the money for, did not have this issue. It's ridiculous.

- even if it has high end hardware it still lags a bit, it's probably because a lot of apps aren't properly optimized for these new Intel chipsets. And the touch delay doesn't help at all. Apps will probably be optimized in time, but if the touch issue is from the hardware, Asus really are a bunch of idiots for screwing this device so bad.

I will try to email them these days, maybe they can clarify us about it.

I emailed poetic about it, and they are releasing a turtle skin and a folio case. The only think I can find are crappy leather folios. Waiting for a good one piece case, but nothing yet.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LtRoastabotch:
I had e-mailed www.bobjgear.com and he said he was looking to see if sales picked up on the tablet before he would design one for it. I really like those cases my kids have had them on their tablets over a year now and the tablets are in great shape. I'm glad to hear someone else is bringing out something other than the folio cases, Thank you.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSimmonsSr:
I have to admit I do not notice any such delay as you mentioned. Do others see this as well? I'm assuming you're not talking just about the keyboard audio delay we discussed in earlier threads.. I don't have any problem typing fast and have never noticed any issue while zooming in and out on Web pages or images..

Am I just suffering from old eyes or are there others that don't experience the delays he describes?

It seems I had a lot of available updates both on firmware and Asus apps. I updated everything and after freezing some stuff the tablet works much better. I still think the touch isn't as responsive as it should be, but it's bearable. SwiftKey is definitely the best option for this tablet, but it's still not working like it does on my note 3 or on my mate's nexus 5.

Maybe some future updates will make it even better, but so far, I think 2013's nexus 7 is the best 7 inch tablet you can get right now. I'm not upset with my purchase, I just wish it worked better.

I do notice the lack of smoothness while scrolling. Chrome has performance issues on Intel Soc. All in all, it does not feel as fluid as my phone - HTC One m7. It could either be:

1) lack of optimized apps for newer 64bit Intel SoC

2) stock ROM issues

3) or both

I can't wait to install CM12 on this device. But gotta unlock the bootloader first. ?
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gentaz:
Cases/Covers : I bought one from amazon (see pic); despite thickness it has 'Asus cover' (small maget in the cover) that turns the display off when closed, is robust (hard plastic case) and can rotate to have a stand function in page mode as welll as landscape. There's no Micro SD access but I don't care for it...

I may purchase a thinner one but I'm happy for now.

The Nexus 7 fits perfectly as well in the case and buttons are accessible as well.

I've been using Google chrome beta like someone has suggested and it's working fine for me. Regular chrome gave me issues.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood_sam:
Bought this tablet few days ago, I'm quite satisfied atm.

Built quality is nice, screen is really crisp (but also very small, I really have to adapt, coming from an iPad 1), and it's smooth overall ; some apps stutters when scrolling (try the Kindle app in landscape mode, you will see how the welcome screen is not smooth), but updates will probably fix these little problems, as Intel is not very common on Android devices.

The main issue for me is the awful audio latency. Noticeable in keyboard typing, but mainly in musical applications (djay 2, it has a delay and also doesn't seem smooth, not optimized for Intel CPU). I compared the delay between the tablet and my phone with MyPiano, it's day and night. The phone (Ultym) is less powerful but has a really good audio latency, maybe as good as my iPad 1.

So I really hope updates will come in the next weeks/months to fix that. I could return the tablet, but couldn't get a cashback, and this tablet is the better option in this price range... I contacted Asus support and reported the problem, and linked the video someone from here shared on Youtube. People should do the same, maybe it will make them work on it (if they are not already).
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Latency, that's the word for the touchscreen as well. It's either the soc, either they put in some really crappy hardware materials inside.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewizzle78:
Power button screen lag

Not sure if anybody commented on this but, the power button screen on lag was super annoying. After rooting and removing all the bloat, I was very happy with this tablet (still hoping for boot loader unlock and a ASOP stock ROM, but it is pretty good). The wake up lag was seriously took 4-5 seconds or 3-4 presses to get it to wake up from a long-ish sleep.

But I think it is just a bug in the ASUS battery saving mode. I just turned it off completely (default is set as on), and it seems to have gone away. Wakes right up. Hopefully that is al it is. Will keep playing with it. Let me know if it fixes it for somebody else.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gentaz:
Same for me : no lag at all without Asus apps (don't know how it was before) except for an audio/video sync issue with most of the players I tried.

Solution is using MX Player with x86 codec and full hardware decoding (h/w+) which works nicely on the memo.

I deleted most of Asus software including the power management app, dictionaries, dual/multitask app mngmt... changed the keyboard and moved most of the apps left in /data to be ran as user apps (no background/respawn using greenify and started only when needed).

See background processes (along with xda app and task monitor it only takes one page !) :
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood_sam:
I don't think the screen has a problematic latency. I compared with my phone on Sketchbook, there is no difference, or almost not noticeable.

I found a vegan leather case on AliExpress that had the smart cover feature. This is the only tablet I have seen that when you open the smart cover it opens straight to the home screen skipping the lock screen altogether. This is with a swipe unlock. I haven't tested yet if the lock screen will stay in effect if a more secure lock screen method is chosen.

I used to have a blue angel with WM2k3. it used to have an app called xbackup which used to back up every change on your device post-vendor image to your SD card which could be restored in the event of a hard reset.

As the hermes doesn't have a backup battery (which is driving me nuts topping up the battery at any opportunity) is there an equivalent to the xbackup app that used to be provided with WM2k3 that can be used with WM5/hermes???

hope so. i'm getting trying to get ready for the inevitable day when i run out of juice and lose all my data!! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RemE:
As far as I know, hermes uses WM5 which runs entirely from non-volitile flash memory which means that you can pull the battery and you won't loose your data.

With that said, there are apps out there, SPB Backup is one, that will allow you to make a full backup onto the SD Card.

SpB Backup

Make sure you use SpB backup - Sprite Backup crashed my device more than once (and I was using that product for over 4 years & 5 versions...)

And yes, the data on the device will stay even after a full battery drain ...

Sprite Backup

I have no problem with Sprite Backup, I use it on my Qtek S100, Qtek 8550 and on my HTC TyTN. I run a scheduled backup every night, leaving three days of backups on my SD card.

I do not use the PC-agent - which would allow to backup the device to a PC folder while Activesync is active.

Backup issues...

Well, as we all know the Outlook data in a WM5 device is written to the file "pim.vol". Since this file will be in use all time it does make it difficult to backup this file.

So every backup application has to do some trick about it. Sprite Backup 5 does it quite simple: It just copies your file from "pim.vol" to "pim.volc" (it basically does this with every .vol file). The big issue about it: It will copy your file IN RAM.

So in my case it was easy math: My 16MB pim.vol file (6500 appointments, 800 contacts) was copied to RAM. Well, especially when I did not have a lot of RAM free (e.g. running some more applications) this would cause severe crashes. And it even left orphaned ".volc" files on my device. In RAM. More than 17MB!

---> Conclusion: If you experienced crashes with Sprite Backup: Make sure you delete all ".volc" files on your root folder (RAM). If you ever used Sprite Backup: Check!

Sprite is aware of this issue and was trying to fix it with a new beta. But I did not want to end up beta-testing their reliability. This is supposed to be rock-solid since it is a backup utility!

Read more at: http://www.spritesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1939&sid=d724e792e138ea4400a1fc114fd20bd2

---> 2nd conclusion: Use SpB Backup. I do not know about their backup procedure. But it works. And I am certainly not affiliated with SpB :) If a SpB employee reading this: I would really like an explanation on this one.

I've been pondering if I should get a Note 3 or Note 4. Playing with the Note 3 at the store I realized the youtube app doesn't support 1080p and I´m assuming Note 4 is the same and no way in heck for 4K(downscaled to QHD) for the Note 4, is that about correct? Is it the same if I go to youtube in the anrdoid browser and not in the youtube app? If so there is pretty much much no easy way to watch full quality new trailers without some hacked youtube apps, correct?

LG G3 seems to be the only one where youtube supports beyond 720
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dannstarr:
The YouTube app does support 1080p and above regardless of what phone you are using. You just need to select a video that is uploaded in the resolution you want

If I´m just streaming it and not storing it, it shouldn't take a lot of space should it. YouTube has quite a few 4K vidoes. But it's more not even being able to see any 1080p videos and trailers that I find absurd.

The old YouTube app supported 1080 and 1440(I'm using it just now) however it appears to have been removed in the newer versions of the app. You can uninstall the Youtube updates in the applications page and then install the old app version which supports 1440 (it's on the XDA forums somewhere,I think on the G3 forum).
