B10, a huge step in the right direction!!!

I loaded beta 10 last night, not long after it was posted. I did a dirty flash over b9 to see what the results would be, seeing as all of my updates have been dirty flashes. I did get a reboot several hours later, but other than that it has been running nicely! Transitioning between apps is quicker and I notice apps load somewhat faster which is fantastic!

I haven't tested on battery yet so I'm not sure if that's any better that previous betas, although sb did say he had battery tweaking to do, so I'm assuming it's still not good.

One thing I have noticed though, is that lagfix will not work on this ROM. Not sure if it has something to do with it being lollipop or if it's a kernel issue. I don't think it has anything to do with formatting seeing as it refuses to work on both ext4 and f2fs formatted partitions.

Any thoughts from anyone? Or perhaps another way to manually trim the micro-sd card?

Thanks and as always, great job sbdags and crew! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
Interesting about lagfix, I have to admit I haven't tried ext4 with Z-pop. Do you see an advantage to using ext4 over f2fs on data2sd? I've only tested with a JB ROM, and f2fs seems faster.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
Hey rubister,

I am using rom2sd with system formatted to ext4 and data is f2fs. When I try trimming either, lagfix says it's not able to because there is either an incompatibility with the rom or the kernel.

My internal storage is ext4 with crombi-kk and _that's kernel. I have no issues running lagfix there and it makes a huge difference in speed..... for a couple days, anyway!

I definitely see better performance using f2fs over ext4 though, so I'm going to stick with that and when this ROM gets better over time, I will eventually put it on my internal with f2fs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mountain Flier:
Absolutely, getting there! Much better stability using ext4. My tablet is usable again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tonyh51:
Is beta 10 for every1 to test? Just asking because link is broke.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BoulderBill:
Beta 10 is a big improvement for me as well, however, I did lose Bluetooth with this update. Headphones say connected but still plays through tablet speakers, anyone else or just me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mountain Flier:
The link is still up and running for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
This is my probably very basic and limited understanding of lagfix/ext4/f2fs.

The ext4 file sytem has the distinct disadvantage of lag-over-time because it uses a log to record which blocks on a partition are clean or dirty. The longer you use that partition, the longer it takes the memory controller to figure out which blocks it can write data to, which blocks are clean, which ones dirty but available, which ones dirty and unavailable. That is why an occasional format of data will greatly improve system performance. After a format all the blocks are clean except for those used for the latest installation. Lagfix accomplishes the same thing without the total format.

f2fs is a file system specifically developed to deal with that disadvantage of ext4. It uses a toally different file system and a different mechanism of "garbage collection" than ext4.

In other words: To run lagfix on a f2fs partition is pointless. And to run lagfix on an ext4 system partition is pointless anyway because /system is read only.

Correct me if I'm wrong ;)

Adaptive Brightness

Hey,

Bug report:

when adaptive brightness is enabled and you try to dim it via the notification center it is possible to black out the screen. If you don't hold your finger and move it back up, there is almost no chance that you bring the brightness back.

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] scififone:
Thank you

First of all, thank you all for everything you have done for this device. Everything is working great for me so far on beta 10.

There is just one thing I noticed that I didn't need to do on any other build so far. After I did a clean install it asked my to set up my Google account twice. Once on the first boot, then again first time I open the Play Store.

I only mention because this is the first I've ever had to do this, if I'm crazy and this isn't a big deal let me know, just thought I'd mention it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
Adaptive Brightness issue

I can confirm that this is the case with my setup as well. After I managed to get it set properly though, I have to say, I really do like how low the screen can get! It makes it nice when I can't sleep and want to surf or play a game while the wife sleeps! I'm happy, she's not disturbed by a bright light and I don't get yelled at! ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] R_McNeely:
You guys keep talking about beta10 but I only see links for beta 9 in the OP... did I miss it or is it somewhere else?

I haven't got time to do the updated front page

But not too hard to find with searching ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dubster93:
Why you don't use this app for update ROM?

https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/

How much screen time you bring to this ROM without the dock?
[Asus Transformer TF700] liljom:
Remember to use search before asking!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
What's this? Shameless advertising?? Custom roms are about choice. Who needs OTAs?

And who cares about screen time? We're in beta.

...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dubster93:
For informing to you: It's an application that will inform you when the creator upload from ROM updates as were OTA (But it really is not). Please think before speaking bull**** without knowing. Some developers CM unofficial ROMs use it before they pass official ROMs.

The use of screen time is a measure of autonomy that could produce the ROM on the tablet. So if you see an evolution of it, could be used for longer and further enhance tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Definitely still Beta

Z-pop B10 R2SD _that f2fs defaults +Browser2Ram (clean load)

Pros

Everything except Bluetooth works.

Cons

Laggy

Wifi slow access and bogs everything else down.

If Chrome can't be fixed, it will be a knockout for me on this rom.

Keep trucking guys, I know you're working hard at it. Thanks for the efforts.

lmm

P.S. Sidenote: Found that Gparted 0.2.xx doesn't play well with USB3. Probably returned a good Sandisk 64gb Cl 10 card unnecessarily. Bought a USB3 card reader and it failed to format F2FS. Did same with new card, but worked fine using USB2.

openvpn problems

Using the beta 10 for several days now.

In general it works pretty well. From time to time I'm getting the "wait or end" question, especially for larger applications like Firefox, Office etc. But the first crash is yet to come ;)

Slowly but surely I'm diving in deeper, installing and using the more sophisticated stuff. Today I tried to run openvpn, using the app "OpenVPN Connect". It connects to my company network, but no app does get access to the network. To me it seems like a name server resolution problem. Needless to say that the very same setup used to work on KitKat (I had the CROMBi ROM before).

I know, this is only a minor glitch, considering all the other stuff that needs to be resolved. Would be nice to have it working though ;) Any hint is highly appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
Bluetooth seems to be working great for me. I have a BT Keyboard and Mouse and they both connect and work great. I don't have BT Speakers, so I can't speak to that. I did discover that in order for Bluetooth to "detect" either of my devices, I have to "switch off" Bluetooth and then "switch it back on" for it to actually detect them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Did you try the built in vpn ?

In setting under more ....

Let me know if this works for you ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] liljom:
Hi sbdags,

Do you think it's a good idea to download+install beta10 preview, or is the next version close? :)

(I don't ask for ETA, I just downloaded beta7 right before the release of beta9, and I felt so stupid...)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jeromeh:
I think it is a good idea to download and install beta10 just because it is that much better than beta9. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mountain Flier:
Agreed!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Before, Lagfix had been giving me an error about not being able to run on my Android version(I believe). Just went to try and verify, and now on the Lagfix tab, it is telling me that it requires root access. Not sure how I can be any more rooted. :) Anyway, did you see the behavior change as well?

black screen

rom was working great for a day, now after a freeze I have a black screen. I can still hear the volume high note so im sure its not frozen just a display issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
Still digging out info about bt: we don't have those patches in, i believe. I tried looking the commit history from here:

https://github.com/omnirom/android_external_bluetooth_bluedroid/commits/android-5.0

As that seems to be our git submodule. Or then I have just misunderstood the whole build structure :D

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

There are different type of problems with the screen dim. I have disabled the dynamic adjust of screen brightness, as it blanks the screen for me occasionally as you describe. It's been discussed here earlier. But there is also another problem I'm facing. Occasionally the screen dims after few seconds of last touch, just like it should do after 2 minutes of inactivity. I get the screen back by pressing e.g. the volume button. Unfortunately I don't have log now, I try to catch it at some point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
To my best knowledge openvpn is not supported natively, is it? I tried something else ... when connected to the openvpn server I opened a terminal window. Any

ping <server>

leads to a "cannot resolve" after some time. If I try

nslookup <server>

all I get is "Segmentation fault" ... so I suspect the name resolution doesn't work because the name server lookup is crashing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
You are right, openvpn is not within the omni ROM. I remember I had it in some rom long ago, but it's rare within roms. It would be great though.

But to your problem. It's within your system. I use OpenVPN connect, and it works fine. So it's not generic problem.

However I confirm the nslookup also fails on my system. But it's unrelated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
Thanks for checking! I agree, it would be nice to have native openvpn support. My point was simply that my openvpn config had worked perfectly with "OpenVPN Connect" in the past on the CROMBi KitKat ROM. Guess I need to go back to fiddle with the settings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] warbuli:
Sooo i switched to beta 10 from beta 9...

So far i notice a huge difference. mainly that it is now wayyyy smoother and switching between applications is also faster...

i am running _that kernel with optimizations..

and all the optimizations that are available including browser to ram

very pleased so far and the battery life looks like it has improved.

Also i have encountered no reboots so far :D :)

While using the device i noticed a bug..

Basically if i switch on auto brightness and try to lower the brightness at one point the screen turns off but the touch screen still works so i could turn it back on.. so for now i will keep the autobrightness off

Cant wait for future releases it looks super promising!

Thanks a lot guys and keep up the good work!

Does anyone else get the Android upgrading dialog to show up at boot? I saw the note that it was fixed for b10, but I don't see it on reboot when I wipe the caches / dalvik.... so not sure if it wiped or not!

Just installed beta 10 on internal. Working fine. Antutu gives a respectable 22451 or so. Oddly, Quadrant Standard won't run on this... hangs up on the first screen. I think that's Quadrant's problem, not ours. Nothing else misbehaves.... well, except the infernal Chrome's lag. I need to ween myself off Chrome. Thanks, sbdags and everyone on the team for your hard work! Oh, I'm running the _that kernel and selected everything, even the tweaks.

Blessings.

Quadrant runs fine for me.

I run max of 1700MHz. My tablet is a little unstable @ 1800.

Beta 10 has been like night and day for me from Beta 7. Working almost perfect. I have one small problem and probibly not the best place to ask but maybe some has a simple answer. As I said I am running

[TF700 LP 5.0.2][ZOMBi-POP OMNI KANG BETA 10] - I have been using "Touch Pal" as my keyboard of choice for a long time. For some reason I can get it to run on B10 but the keyboard is only half way

on the screen. The second half is OFF the the right edge. DPI is setup as 213 and I have tried 230 ? ---

Has anyone gotten Touch Pal keyboard to display properly on Zombi-Beta10 ?

Thanks all.

THiBOR
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
I just installed Touch Pal and it seems to be working OK. Using it as I type this. My dpi is 240 if that matters.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
it appears I spoke to soon about b10!

So a few days of running B10 and things have gone from promising to not so promising!

Today and yesterday the random reboots have come fast and furious. In fact i was just able to grab the log files before this thing rebooted again. I know it's beta software and it IS getting better, so I'll just keep testing the builds until one of them makes this thing useful again!

Just a note: the tablet seems to be allot more stable in landscape mode. I didn't think that could be right, but I've been testing the theory for awhile over several builds and it appears to be the case. All of my random reboots have come while the tablet is in portrait mode. I kept trying to post this while in portrait mode and it would reboot eveytime. I'm actually getting through this post now, but in landscape! Just a thought, but maybe some of you are experiencing the same anomaly???

Log files have been posted!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Beta 10 officially uploaded. :D

XDA Uploads have been playing up for the last few days - if you already have Beta 10 then this is no different.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes you are eventually running out of memory - it's the same old problem.

Your second log shows no evidence of a reboot btw.

Are you using chrome by any chance? Also which boot animation did you choose?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Have Beta 10 internal, as already mentioned, and today put it on rom2sd1 (external) as well. 128g Samsung EVO card. Antutu scores 22041, about the same as my internal. No crashes yet. Smoothest install I've experienced with any recent Rom. Nice work!

Well thank you for trying. I have no idea then when my keyboard is getting cut off. Thanks for taking the time and trying it.

Thibor
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
Hi sb,

That's odd that my 2nd log didn't show a reboot. I was able to get that log just in the nick of time after it rebooted because it rebooted again!

I don't use chrome at all. In fact I don't even have it installed. I use boat browser. It looks like my portrait vs landscape theory is out the window. My last two reboot happened when I was in landscape mode.

And the boot animation I choose was android l.

I may have to wipe my b10 rom2sd install, because I can't go more than a few minutes without it rebooting. It will even reboot and then reboot again instantly. Sometimes 3 times in a row. I'm on my internal CROMBi-kk right now!
[Asus Transformer TF700] keshavmot2:
The dpi change also caused this for me. It works if you change the dpi value in build.prop then reboot.

Thanks,
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
I don't think this is the issue here, but I just wanted to include that if anyone is using apps they used on a ROM that was below 5.0 Lollipop, make sure the app is compatible with Lollipop before coming to the conclusion that it's an issue with this specific ROM. I happened to run into that where I'd used an app on JB and KK but when I tried to use it on LP, it bugged out, so I checked the app page and everyone else had issues with LP as well, and I had thought it was the ROM.

Kudos to you sbdags for an awesome ROM, thanks for not giving up on it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Same here.. Going to have to see how low you can go to make it stable.

Hi guys !

Is it ok to dirty flash b10 over b5, or i need to do a full wipe?

Used B5 since release, and. It seemed to me as a +- stable version by now, but i see that there is a lot of changes in b10 right now, so, im thinking of giving it a try.

And second question is about resolution. Is changing resolution from 1080 to 720 will give to my tablet more speed? Will it help? And what i can loose from this?

By the way, sorry for my broken english, im from Russia.

And sbdags, thank you a lot, youre douing a great job for our tablets, that were forgotten by an evil asus corporation:good::fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
There is a known bug in lollipop with bootanimations stealing avail memory. Try one of the other boot animations to see if that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Should work fine. *should*.

Do a nandroid backup so you can go back as well. Be interesting to compare beta 5 to beta 10.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
Sure thing, absolutely agree! My point was not to complain, rather wanted to help improving this ROM ... just in case my issue has to do with the ROM at all.

On a lighter note, the app OpenVPN for Android I am trying claims to be compatible.

Sorry it's omni based not cyanogen based.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
:eek: Oh no I didn't mean

you

were complaining, I was just referring to some other posts I've seen where there was actual complaining that such and such an app didn't work, and the resulting attitude of the post was 'this ROM won't let X app work, thus this ROM doesn't work, ok goodbye' and with that in mind, that's what I was trying to say. I'm sorry, I didn't mean any offense, we're all just trying to help the debugging and troubleshooting. :o I suppose the term 'complaint' was probably a bad choice... :o

I know it's kind of frowned on to suggest 'there's an app for that' when it should be standard functionality that just 'works', but have you tried K-9 mail? I've got it set up with IMAP accounts on my tablet, and it works. I actually don't use any of the stock Asus apps that I know of.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
As far as email apps go I would put a plug in for aquamail. it works great and it allows you to email groups easily from the app.

On another topic, is there a work around for not being able to write things to exterior sd cards? I see lots of apps that say they fix this but none I have tried has done anything.

Thanks

Are you on beta10 and what apps are you having problems with? I'd like to help troubleshoot. KK had an issue with that, I know there was an app to fix that, but I don't know if that's applicable to LP. I'm going to try testing OpenVPN in a bit and see what I can figure out with that one.

Just out of interest, why is this ROM based on OMNI? Any special reason?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
Hey sb,

I did as you suggested and reflashed b10 and chose the zombi-pop boot animation. I also decided to try the omni kernel without any kernel tweaks. So far it has been stable all be it sluggish half the time. I did make one change that appears to make a rather large difference with speed. I went into developer settings a lowered the background processes to no more than 4. Instant speed increase! Not sure how long that will last, but so far its been much better and as of this post, I haven't had a random reboot and I've been running it like this for almost two days! Fingers, toes, eyes etc. crossed, eh!

Thanks for all of your help! :good:
