battery

I started with an advanced wipe, formatted of the whole device which ended up putting data back to ext4 , so reformatted data back to f2fs, then installed Zombi RC 1 and the patch and used _thats kernal (automatically installs everything). I set the tablet up as a new device. Then downloaded logcat and alogcat and after charging to 100%, I let the tablet sit unplugged overnight. The next morning the battery was dead. I read up on logcats but it's a bit over my head. The red lines keep saying something about the wifi. The device is connected through wifi and I can download from the internet and Google Play. I had already tried turning wifi off of previous occasions and swiped out all running app plus checked "close all running apps on exit" in the developer options but the battery still drained quickly. My last effort was installing ES task killer and shutting off wifi and guess WHAT! The battery only went down 4% overnight!!! Any ideas on how to fix the wifi issue? I also notice in the logs that show up in yellow that there are paths to folders that are no longer available. I'm not sure what that means other than the process is not finding "things" it's suppose to find? I have not used adb since I installed installed Zombi Pop at the beginning of this year and I was following a step by step guide. I no longer have that computer and I'm hesitant to try anything on windows 10. I've used Kang's TWRP and have the latest version - twrp 2.8.7.2@area51 , which I installed from the flashable zip. All the roms and updates I've installed have been using the flashable zips on my sd card and installing through TWRP. I do not have Roms2SD.

There is an option to kill wifi when tablet is in standby ....

Maybe give this a go ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
Post your Logcat.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ChumleyEX:
So I just installed this rom and there is this cursor I have to move around, I can't just touch where I want. It's like controlling a PC desktop. How the hell do I turn this off? I searched "cursor" and didn't find that I needed. Going crazy here. Help please?
[Asus Transformer TF700] treo700p:
I found that setting and killed wifi during sleep but battery still drained like a sieve. I use a Logcat app and posted the log. One was set on verbose setting and the other was debug...I wasn't sure what setting to use.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Well then its not the wifi.....

Thx Josh

Then you dont have a TF700T...

Or your screen was replace with some knock off version .....

[Asus Transformer TF700] treo700p:
Logcat

I think I uploaded the logcat correctly. The Logcat app was set on verbose (whatever that is) so that is what is attached. If I did this incorrectly, please let me know. Maybe I need to let the tablet sit unplugged and idle first? I started with a full charge and used the tablet for a while before I started the logcat app. All my previous logs were lost when I reformatted and reflashed.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ChumleyEX:
ya, I was thinking it was universal. I'll try another rom, thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Well, I guess if it was me I would start over with stock, and then twrp then full format then rom up......

If you need any help join us on irc.... :good:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
Ok so I found a few issues, definately not deal breakers though.

1. The voltages I put in do not apply, when under the performance section in settings (I am using an init.d script to do it, will upload later, saves some battery power while maintaining clock speed)

2. Downloaded "tegra overclock" (to test voltage setting for stability) and activated the companion core tick box, when coming out of sleep however the tablet remains on the companion core and does not switch back to main processor (475 mhz). This causes screen flickering, runs slow, and needs a reboot to reset it.

I do not have a logcat (I am so sorry) Removing tegra overclock solves the issue with the companion core.

Edit: i have uninstalled tegra overclock then reinstalled it after cleaning with sdmaid pro, since i have all the settings i wanted done the only thing i touched is ticking the box for activating the companion core. It now works as intended, wish i could make a script for it so i dont need the app. Oddly enough the core is not having an impact on performance. Also since my script, my test scores on 3dmark are about 100 points higher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
here is my init.d script

Beware, this script may brick your device, i warned you. I came up with these numbers by using a percentage first, then lowering by 5mv until my device crashed or apps crashed. Then added 5 mv until no crashes. These numbers are safe for my device. If you decide to try it, make sure you have a back up in recovery first. The .img is a saved copy of my 3dmark tests [cpu testing with voltages applied]. Approximately lowered voltages 15%.

My setup is zombi-pop rc1 with rom2sd installed and working using a 80mbs sd card.

Delete the .pdf and the .img after the file name.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
Update

OK so I seemed to have stumbled upon a lot of things in my energy conseving endevor. I will do my best to fill you all in and maybe it will help some people.

The script I made essentially lowered the millivolt usage 15%-20% saving battery power and speeding recharge while tablet is on.

I am guessing the issue with the companion core is what I faced, the operating system was using it as the main processor, when I had gone into settings->performance the processor speed reported 475 mhz, I could not move the slider to a higher frequency, it would pop back to 475 mhz. this would and did cause major "lag" that many users have seen when activating the companion core (its clock is 500 mhz, it is designed to handle only sleep and low level processes like music player so the main processor can be shut down, saving power). It takes over when the main processor is using less then 500mhz and only one core.

After the reinstall of tegra overclock app, with the companion core reactivated and the script I made, my tablet now scores 200 points higher consitently then it did before using 3dmark. The average for this tablet is normally around 4200, with zombi-pop+patch+some init.d tweaks around 4700, with companion core enabled and my created init.d script, around 4900. Performance is greatly boosted not just on scores, but very noticeably as well, tons smoother just using it.

I am not sure if the boost is from less heat produced because of the lower millivolts, or if it is because the companion core is handeling some of the processes. either way my battery life is greatly improved, my tablet is charging from the dock while typing this using firefox. before both would have slowly gone down but now the tablet is gaining charge while the dock is draining.

Sorry if I am being winded, I am just excited because I never expected this performance in my wildest dreams. I posted this because maybe it can help in development in some way. like possibly an option in the aroma installer for either the script, or the companion core, or both. especially since they have boosted speed as well as battery. I will post andother test score

Don't want to be the one to ask for ETA on next relase, but I have bought a new tablet and gonna sell my TF700T with this rom on it. But could wait for next relase before selling it..unless it's months away .
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Personally I am taking a break from ROM development at the moment. I have been doing this non stop for 3 years. So there is no release planned right now. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] corb06:
Yeah you sure have worked hard on this tablet. Been using your roms from the beginning. Great work!

Maybe see your work on other devices in the future. Take care!
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
Thank you

I only just discovered your work but would like to say thank you. Enjoy your break, hope it goes well and hope to see you back when you are ready, maybe for android m.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gorgulius:
sound interruptions

When I turn off the screen, I have been experienced sound interruptions / breaks.

It's that normal ?

I use spotify but with google play music it's the same.

Thank you! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Probably related to the CPU dropping speed. I assume it continues to play just that you get a slight gap?

May be worth changing the CPU governor and min CPU speed in the performance settings?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
My tablet has been working great until yesterday when all of the sudden Google play services quit. I have reflashed twice using different settings but it won't put the play store on my tablet. When I download the play store apk it installs it but it won't load, it just goes back to the desktop. Could someone please help me with this, thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Drop a logcat but if google have done a stealth update (which is possible) you may need to download a gapps package (search for banks gapps) and install it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
okay, thanks, good to know. I went ahead and did a full wipe and install and it works fine now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
Was wondering if zswap or zram could be enabled on this rom with rom2sd? It would be the ast tweak/upgrade i could think of, not sure if it is even needed any more. I tried a swap partition and it worked but slowed everything down even with the new sd card (80mbs). Tried many things to get zram working to test it but all failed (might not be in kernel). Wondering about zswap or zcache.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nephtys59:
I installed yesterday this beauty. Really awesome! I have a brand new tablet but ... after installing a few apps it became laggy again. Unbearable!

And then I understood the reason why. The Facebook crap kills the tablet. I removed FB, messenger, the FB groups and page apps and tablet is back to speedy.

Now trying the Lite version of FB app (can't download from the Play store, but you can download it here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/lite/facebook-lite-1-13-0-105-238-android-apk-download/) and seems ok.

Thanks for the wonderful ROM.

Facebook app has always been terrible

In my experience the facebook app has always caused problems, like draining battery and eating resourses for breakfast. Every device i have ever owned has has issueswith it, so i use "fast pro".
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
i also experienced this

My solution that í found was to watch the aroma installer for errors. When installing with rom2sd mine would do that everytime. It took 3 installs and rebooting into recovery each time to get it to fully install. the aroma installer will seem to continue after the error and tell you to enjoy. Reintall (dirty flash) and the second time it got past the fist error. But had another error. The third install got to the end. This install was complete.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nephtys59:
I'm trying the free version and I like it very much!!! Thanks for suggesting FAST! Too bad the Pro version is not sold in my country (Italy), don't understand the reason why ...
[Asus Transformer TF700] timiboy:
I tried a custom install and ten a "Standard" install...both fail and lead into the Loop. No idea why that happens...

Timiboy
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
also, you need to install internally

You have not told us if you are using rom2sd, data2sd, or internal install. Also i am not sure what you mean by custom or standard install. If you are doing a rom2sd install, you need to install internal first. Both rom2sd and data2sd need to have your sd card formatted properly. Also, twrp will need to be rebooted after each install. I have experienced the bootloops you described but there were many causes like wrong formatting of a parttion, no internal installation, etc. We need more info.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timiboy:
Well,

here is what I did:

1. Painfully managed to unlock the TF700. At first it did not work at all. Then I wipped the tablet and for funnyn reasons only V7 of the unlock tool worked.

2. Again with some Trouble I managed to get TWRP to "get on board". I have now Version 2.8.7.2@AREA51

3. I have copied the zombi ROM file and the Little additional file to the internal Memory ( I have SD-Card in my tablet)

4. I tried first to Flash by adjusting all Options - LOOP

5. Then I flashed choosing some standart Options - LOOP

6. Then I tried alterig bootlogos, Themes and so on - LOOP

Maybe I am missing some specialty in the Installation procedure....

Thanks for the help!

Timiboy
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
internal memory will get written over

Usually the internal memory gets written over by the os when it is getting installed. The installer does a wipe and a reformat of the partitions on the internal card, so in order to install without an sd card, you would need a computer. There may be a way to do it still, but I would doubt it and would not know how.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timiboy:
so i just Pop in a Card with the files and Flash from it?

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Did so...but my battery is down for the reboot.Will Report once I am on again ;)

Timiboy
[Asus Transformer TF700] timiboy:
Flash done !!! Works now! Funny it is not mentioned (or I did not get it) that one must Flash from an SD Card!?

Thanks for the hint,

[Asus Transformer TF700] winfan:
I was curious if there will be a Android 6.0 ROM when the AOSP is loaded next week as announced through the Google event today. Will this increase the smoothness and battery life for our tablet? Thank you for all your hard work to get this tablet back to life.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
How could anyone know the answer to this ? :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] XdrummerXboy:
I kinda doubt it. Seems as though the development has stopped for this device.

As much as we'd all like to think a new version of Android would help this device (it does some), the main issue with this tablet is cheap hardware in one key area that has its physical limitations.

My guess is we've kind of seen the best it has to offer, thanks to the developers of this ROM.

having said that, I'd love to see Android M on here too. Just for fun, haha
[Asus Transformer TF700] whycali:
Having some trouble streaming video. I cant stream my movies from disney anywhere, google play movies or youtube. they all give a playback from this device is not supported. I can download them and watch but not stream. Any thoughts? DRM fixes
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anthe:
For the first time in 3 years, I'm actually using my TF700. Performance on Internal was as horrible as on stock ROM, but ROM2SD made it what it should have been in the first place. Thank you so much for this ROM!
[Asus Transformer TF700] glecko:
What kind of Micro SD card are you using? I find the internal install pretty good, wondering if I could get a bit more performance out if my tablet with ROM2SD. It's been previously mentioned that internal is better, but you seem to be having a different experience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anthe:
A Sandisk Class 10 SDHC Micro SD card of 32GB. A pretty much brand new card. Performance on internal just didn't work for me. Loading the Play Store took ages, it froze frequently, waking the device sometimes took an absurdly long time.. On ROM2SD it's not necessarily blazing fast, but performance which you would expect from a legacy device. Very happy with it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FL00DY:
Can I ask what chipset is your USB ethernet adapter using? That's what I really need working at the moment, I have one that hasn't worked between three different roms - including stock ASUS. THANKS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricardjs:
Hi all.

One question, to the experts.

I have a microsd card from kingston, capable of 90 MB/s read, 45 MB/s write. Am i still better with flashing the internal memory, or shouls i see beneficts from flashing the microsd card?

Thanks.

Regards,

Ricardo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Sequential performance says little about performance as OS storage. May be faster than internal, may be not.

Read these pages for detailed explanations:

https://lwn.net/Articles/428584/
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricardjs:
Ok, got it... so the best way is to try it out as the diversity of memory chips out there make it impossible to know for sure.

And on to another questions if you or sbdags could answer, please.

I've been using sbdags for a long time now in my wife's tf700 (i know the same old story of the wife's old tablet that the husband left to her :P), and i tested this RC1 with n2fs, but didn't test the 5.4 cromi version. Which one should be faster? The problem is that i can't have the RC1 working stable for me, i tried:

- formating data (n2fs), system, cache, .... (just data is formated with n2fs)

- no programs installed

- _that kernel

And it allways seems to hang on me at least 1 time per day, and all the times it is when using the browser. (i didn't try a different browser).

Anyway, i've been thinking of using cromi 5.4 with n2fs. What do you think, should be faster, slower, or more or less the same?

Any ideas on how i could find out what's hanging RC1 (i believe it would be the browser - using the stock one - has all the times it has frozen i was there). Usually the tablet disconnects the screen with the browser on, and never comes back, i need to press power for 4 seconds, but sometimes it also freezes when the screen is on and i'm using the browser.

What should i do to find out what's happening.

Thanks.

Regards,

Ricardo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricardjs:
Update:

I think i found why I had freezes. I tried a new install, disabling overclocking. It's been working perfectly ever since. I haven't been having freezes for 3 days, when before i had them 2-3 times per day.

Ricardo Santos.

Running into an odd occurrence. Coming from CROMi-X and wanted to get this updated rom installed. Once in TWRP, and I start the flash, the first couple of lines appear, then when the aroma installer should start, it restarts my recovery. I have the latest bootloader, and the latest TWRP installed.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Redownloaded from the tablet itself and it worked. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ElizS:
Hello,

I've been advised to seek the counsel of the mighty sdbags for my dilemma....

With bad eyesight I need larger DPIs . Am currently running CROMBIkk on my TF201 and haven't found a Lollipop ROM that has comparable DPI. Is your method for setting DPI in your ROMs just a single build prop change??
[Asus Transformer TF700] Falhawk:
Excited to use the rom, thanks for your work. I have installed the rom and the performance patch but have run into a bit of a jam.

I'm stuck at the loading screen, the windows 7 swirly color thing and it has been a while. I'm thinking it might be that when I did the settings I selected 1.8ghz even though I didn't see anything in the developer options (which yeah, probably totally stupid). Should I just reflash it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Unlikely to be 1.8ghz. What ROM did you come from, what bootloader are you on, did you do a wipe first?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can set it two ways. One is in the build.prop which is the old fashioned way. You can use the over riding wm command too. Use a terminal emulator and use the su command first.

wm density 160

is the default size for your screen. You can make it larger but too large will cause issues. Use wm density reset to go back to default.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Falhawk:
I have the 14.10 bootloader. I installed TWRP and then went to install the rom from there with a wipe. I queued up the performance flash which all went smoothly. I also went with the sdbags defaults. I've run it a few times now and it just seems to get suck on the loading screen. I just did another one and I'm letting it run for a while so fingers crossed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It doesn't sound like you are doing a wipe properly. Wipe before you install. Go to the wipe menu and slide to wipe. You can also go wipe, advanced, select data and convert to f2fs for better results.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Falhawk:
ok, I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Thanks for the great rom [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] and for the advice to shift to f2fs, the rom seems to be running really smooth and is even usable while downloading/updating apps from the playstore- something I could never do earlier. I have benchmarked it before flashing to measure the difference but anyways, some questions-

1. Silly one, but is there anyway I can go back to the old layout i.e. controls on the bottom left and notification shade in the bottom right?

2. How do I change the wallpaper? I tried one of the stock wallpapers and the screen changed to black and since then it won't accept any wallpaper change even if I try to open an image in the gallery and set as wallpaper from there.

Edit: Finally accepted wallpaper from Settings>Wallpaper and picked image via ES File Explorer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah setting wallpaper is odd. Currently there is no way to go back to nav buttons on the left unfortunately. You'll get used too them in the middle though. Eventually.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kevinthefixer:
I've had the wallpaper setting problem with both Omni and Zombi. Appears to be a file size issue, the image file must be <~1/2MB IIRC. At one point I downsized a .jpg I wanted to use just to make it work, and it did.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scenic-3:
If you put xposed installer for lolliepop on your device and activate xperia/AOSP Navbar you can set the controle buttons where you like to have them.

[Asus Transformer TF700] matt11601:
Hi sdbags,

Had two questions.

1) I finally flashed RC1, but am having random reboots. I was going to dirty flash RC1 but select a new kernel. Do I need to reflash the performance patch after this?

2) Do you know if RC1 has the code to use the connect dock and attached USB drives? It doesnt seem to be recognized at the first boot.

Thanks,

Matt
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The RC1 patch must be flashed everytime you reflash the rom. Not sure about the dock - can you check the results of the above you quoted please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
Gonna do some flashing again on my good old Infinity :)

But what ROM to Use hmmm Zombi , KatKiss etc. Which one gives best Batterylife / Speed / Smoothness

Advice is welcome :D
