Same happened to me and only a restore got me back. Not even fresh install worked,but luckily I saved a backup and that did it.Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JBT1:
Beta 9 very laggy

Hi guys,

First thanks to sdbags for his continuous investment in our poor tablet. Asus did not the best in the component selection that makes all of us crazy for the poor performance of it.

Anyway, I did a clean install of Beta 9 with default options, and as many of you I have really poor response time.

After insatllation of "CPU Stats" application, I notice that mostly only 1 core was 100%, others was staying à 0% so decide to change the CPU strategy to perfomance and have a really better response time of th tab.

Is there something wrong with the interractive profile ?

Second point, somtime I can see that CPU usage is high but don't know what is consuming the CPU. Do you know any widget or application that could display in the notification bar the top 5 or at least the 1 application that is consuming the CPU ?

Thanks for reading :)

Been on beta 9 a couple of days now. No reboots, chrome a little bit laggy but it's been super stable. Can't wait for beta 10
[Asus Transformer TF700] hks1234:
I had this behaviour and solved it by deleting caches (cache and davlik) after installing but before rebooting in TWRP.

Hi guys.. new guy here..

First of all thanks a lot for the support you guys are giving.... i never imagined that i would be using the tablet anymore let alone running Lollipop on my tablet!

I am quite a noobie when it comes to flashing android devices but at the moment i am teaching myself so if you notice that i did something wrong please do point it out..

Ok so about my device:

It is the second time that i flashed the TF700t... First time i had flashed Combi-kk with no optimizations...

It was ok but started acting up so i decided to re-flash and noticed this thread..

Now i flashed it using Zombi-POP beta 9 using the omni kernel with optimizations, browser2ram and i also selected f2fs...

CPU is set to 1600 max because i didnt want it to overheat since the os is still in beta

Small Question... by selecting f2fs did it actually set the /data to f2fs? because i have a slight feeling that it did not.

Experience so far:

Initializing the OS proved to be slightly challenging as the device was not as responsive ... but i managed without any reboots.

The initial installation of all the applications from the playstore was painful, as it made the device unusable and also had to perform 2 forced reboots because it was not responding to any of my controls.. but that was to be expected thanks to Asus >.<.

Despite all those small hiccups,once the OS stabilized it feels like its running smoothly.

I have noticed some lag when switching between applications...

But I then turned off the animator duration scale, window and transition animations off and it has helped reduce the lag a lot...

I performed a full benchmark test using Quadrant but sadly it did not reach the scores that you guys are achieving ..

the Result was: Total: 6489 * CPU: 22713 * Mem: 2632 * I/O: 4381 * 2D: 500 * 3D: 2221

Any ideas why?

I am currently searching for a good microSD card to also try the data2sd or rom2sd looks like i might buy a Samsung EVO class 10 64gb card anyone using it? thoughts?

Anyways thanks a lot for the support you are providing ...

I will be posting the logs if any sudden crashes/ unexpected reboots occur...

Looking forward for the future betas :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It didn't. That option in the installer is for users with a existing f2fs data partition. If you want f2fs you have to change file system on /data to f2fs in TWRP, then reflash the rom.

Or reflash without the f2fs option...

I have very good results on the Samsung Evo
[Asus Transformer TF700] warbuli:
hmm thanks a lot! i will look into the f2fs as i have read that it allows the device to perform better
[Asus Transformer TF700] federico.guerrazzi:
Same here. No reboots on beta 9...
[Asus Transformer TF700] liljom:
Dear dev team,

I have both a TF700 and TF300, and I run KatKiss Lollipop #17 on the TF300. This last version V017 boots very very quick, and is very smooth.

Would you like to take a loot at the changelog? There might be something useful, what could be used for TF700 too :)

http://public.timduru.org/Android/KatKiss/5.0/ChangeLog.html
[Asus Transformer TF700] vlad48:
Well liljom, actually KitKass works great with TF700 too - saddest thing is the battery drain there from the kernel it uses, so I tried the kernels from the last beta 9 posted here and KatKiss started to lag, hang or reboot with all of them with lot of OOM alerts(tried Grim, that_11, that_stock and that_CM) so maybe the kernel is the culprit here. I don't know if it is of some use, but this is the kernel I'm using on my TF700 without a single reboot after 6 hours of heavy usage.

Beta 9 dirty flash over beta 7 - constant reboots

Hey guys,

Just wanted to post my findings and last_kmesg for sbdags and the gang!

I did a dirty flash from b7 to b9 the other night. The flash went fine, no issues there. The settings I used are as follows....

Samsung EVO micro-sd card (90MBps read 50 MBps write)

Rom2SD

F2fs on data

Omni kernel

Data journaling is on

Browser2Ram on

Kernel tweaks were selected

At first the tablet seemed a little more responsive, but maybe an hour after I let it cook after installing, it rebooted. It rebooted on me this morning and then proceeded to reboot again minutes after that. So far I've had 5 reboots today alone.

This is the first time posting a log file, so I do hope I get it right the first time. Please let me know if something else needs to be uploaded. Oh ya, I almost forgot to mention that the battery gets munched up so fast. I've set the max CPU speed to 1600mhz but when I got to performance, it shows the proc hitting 1800mhz. Not quite sure why.

The tablet runs so slow as well. I thought I would get some great performance from the Samsung Evo card, but honestly, so far, it has been a disappointment. Is it the cards fault? I doubt it! I'm sure it's the tablet as per usual. I find my t700t using Rom2SD/F2Fs as slow as just running on the internal storage with ext4. This tablet has been a huge let down from the get go, but I do appreciate all of the work the developers have put into all of the ROMS made for this device!

I have a question to everyone in this forum. Would Data2SD be faster overall, seeing as system would run from internal and apps would run from the SD-card, instead of having everything overload the SD?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
Hello!

I am getting a strange behavior. Using "3C" to benchmark storage access throughput, I get radically different results when doing a "full reformat of my /data as f2fs" install. Sometimes I am getting only about 7-8 MBps and the tablet is unbearably slow. On other installations, I get 48-70 MBps.

With Beta 9, I seem to only get 7-8 MBps, so I have dropped back to Beta7 (Grimlock kernel, Nova launcher and no browser cacheing in RAM (the system is definately smoother with more RAM and the RAM cacheing is set to use 50MB per installed browser.)

Is it possible that TWRP is not consistantly formatting the /data partition (with f2fs)? I always get a huge stream of log messages which don't tell me much about what might be happening.... (why is memlock always not found?)

Any suggestions ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] warbuli:
Small update...

So i intalled the f2fs and reflashed the device...

after wiping and formating everything...

Now running Zombi -pop with _that Kernel +optimizations + browser2ram..

I also decided to raise the cpu speed to 1800 at performance.

And also forced gfx rendering on gpu

Initial boot and setup was much much smoother and device overall feels faster :)

ran quadrant benchmark and got the following results:

Total: 8877 * CPU: 29338 * Mem: 2793 * I/O: 9386 * 2D: 500 * 3D: 2366

I still notice some lag when using heavy applications. but i will give it some time to stabilize some more :)

I also noticed that i cannot use a Bluetooth connected speaker and browse on the internet at the same time.

I did some research and many are blaming the fact that wifi and bluetooth operate at the same frequencies so they interfere with each other.

Any idea if there is a work around?

Thanks again for the help :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
3C???

Hi, I've never heard 3C before. Is it available from the play store? Is that the full name, because I looked for just 3C and a bunch of stuff came up, but I wasn't sure what to choose. I would like to benchmark my tablet as well!

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
Yes, the app is called "3C" (and "3C pro"). It is a great toolkit to have with Android; it has too many included features for me to want to type in :)

Gene
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
OK - you didn't write it, so I can't assume... you formatted (not wiped) data, correct? Are you installing on internal? I was stuck once like that and the only way out of it was to install CWM recovery, and then format and wipe everything. After that, you can reinstall TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tyfoxx:
Thanks, I will try that.

Tyfoxx
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes we're all suffering the same it seems.

It's still a beta and a ways to go. Remember we haven't had an official update since Jelly Bean so there will be bugs and issues trying to get lollipop working. It is certainly not a daily driver yet and gets some serious bog downs.

Beta 9 has not solved the OOM errors on _that's kernels.

[ 2471.146501] Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes...

Here is my suggestion.

Can people switch to the grimlock kernel to see if that stops the reboots - my experience is good so far. That would suggest it is something that something is not right with compatibility of lollipop and _that.

Grimlock does run much slower for me though :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] luupocok:
Hello

I came from CM 11, so I did a full data/cache/dalvik/system wipe before installing Zombi-Pop.

It was extreme laggy, so i deciced to wipe media. Rebooted to recovery, wipe data + media.

Now I can turn device on, but stuck at green android logo. I can't boot recovery.

I tried:

- 10 sec POWER + Volume+ to boot recovery -> no recovery -> stuck at green android logo

- 10 sec POWER + Volume- to boot fastboot -> no fastboot -> stuck at green android logo

- hard reset with mini-button on the left side of the tablet -> stuck at green android logo

- connect to PC (Windows7) to use ADB -> Asus Transformer Prime (???) ADB interface is recognized by Win but ADB tool can't connect to device -> stuck at green android logo

How could I unbrick it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] warbuli:
Hi do not worry I am not expecting much as its a fairly new os and as you have stated that it is still in beta :)

I am reporting what I notice and find to maybe help you understand ..

As for the kernel

Before the reflash to make f2fs work I was using grimlock and yes it did not reboot but as you stated it did perform worse...

Now that I reflashed I am using _that and I only experienced one reboot(when I was launching an application for nthe first time ) but I didn't manage to get the log ... :(

Do you guys have any links of how I can get the logs pls ?

Whenever I try to connect the dock to my tablet the screen goes fully in black, I wait some minutes but nothing happens, and this bug occurs no matter what procss I have running, if I did it under the booting section screen goes pitch black, if I do it when its turned on, pitch black... Can anyone help me out? Doesn't seem like it even turns off or anything as I have to give it a long press on the power button to get it booting again

[Asus Transformer TF700] msuguy71:
Lag

First, I want to say that I appreciate all of the hard work that sbdags, _that, and others have done for this tablet. Without your hard work, I would have bought a paperweight essentially. I have been testing out this version of the ROM since beta 6 and have not had much of a good experience. I get horrible lag and frequent errors stating that app X is not responding. Usually, clicking wait allows app X to continue.

I installed each version of the beta clean after a full system wide. I used the default settings during the install except I used the 'sharpish' screen resolution (1600x1200 maybe? not sure). I also went with _that's kernal with the basic tweaks (no advanced tweaks). After install, I checked Force GPU rendering. I also keep trying to set the kernal to performance mode in the settings, but it keeps going back to interactive.

I finally got logcats (install cat log worked, alogcat never gave me any logs) and I have included 2 of them.

Hopefully they will help.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
You guys are amazing - issues and all, we appreciate your hard work slogging through!

I did install grimlock a couple days ago and had it sitting in my bag before reinstalling anything with TiBu. I was suprised that after 2-3 days it was still at 75% battery and running smoothly, but then after reinstalling a bunch of stuff and playing around with it more, it bogged down. One thing I noticed new in the log besides the potential underflow issues was 'failed to load memtrack module'. IIRC, I think that was a new error I didn't see before on other kernels.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I am almost sure that is the factory reset android you are seeing ....

Plug it into power and let it do its thing ...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
OK.. this is strange behaviour, and not sure if it's recovery or rom related... I'm running twrp 2.8.5 and after wiping dalvik / cache in recovery and rebooting, there isn't a 'android is upgrading... Optimizing xxx of xxx' white box on boot. I know we're on ART with L, but my other devices with L do run through the optimizing process. Not sure how to log that one - but can anyone else confirm?
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
I did install Beta9 over Beta7 running Grimlok kernel. The memory access performance differences I see using "3c" have to do with how much memory is available. "kswapd0" seems to be present a lot in my "cpu activity" column on the right hand side of my screen (using developer options) and it has a few mentions about it on the web and issues with the 3.4 linux kernel and the way Android wants to do memory management - one mentioned a problem with stale pointers, another talked about not knowing what memory can be safely freed up, a third mentioned increasing gfc entries and another said kswapd0 tends to loop if system memory gets below about 150M (which can happen easily on the TF700 running lollipop) and thst the loop is an active spinloop, not a wait, so it burns battery power as well.

I can get the system to reboot sometime when I try to "clean memory" using 3C (which mkes me wonder about pointers)

Sorry if this is old news to you.

btw, How do I upload screen images to this forum?
[Asus Transformer TF700] luupocok:

[Asus Transformer TF700] liljom:
I wrote you a personal message
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
I think you mean you are using an app written by a developer who goes by the handle "3c". He has created a variety of apps that test or monitor the performance of Android devices like Battery Monitor Widget, System Tuner, Process Monitor and a host of others. I found eleven apps on the Play Store that he wrote both in free and Pro versions.

Does Sbdags lollipop kernel work on cm12?

[Q] Zombi Beta9 - TWRP latest

Hey guys -

I basically am having the same issues most you are having with Beta 9. But now I did a fresh NEW install ( complete wipe including data ). Now I boot and it just hangs on the Boot Animation.

After stuck on boot animation for 1 hour I shut it off.

I am running installing with all the default options that were already pre checked in Aroma. Currently trying Omni Kernel modded i think by _that/sbdags. It still will not go past boot animation.

I have one question about an error I am now seeing while in twrp. What does this ERROR mean ? and is a problem ? If I go back to Beta 7 I still get that ERROR but the tablet boots and works.

See photo bellow:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That error message is normal.

Need a logcat of the hung boot process really.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vlad48:
Well I think it should work on CM12 but be warned - you'll have a very high battery drain.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'd love to know what the sbdags kernel is as I have never made one :)

Looks like _that's kernel repacked for cm12?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well lj50036 and ikkeT made some progress today with a few suspects so I am kicking off a new build right now :)

Hopefully this one will be better :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Awesome -

Does this mean you will drop it today ? because I am ready to reinstal and will wait. OR will it be few days my friend ?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Likely to be tomorrow, but never say never!

Takes an hour to build android from source and then takes a good few hours to put it together and flash it to test it is working, update apps etc. Assuming no bugs are found it then takes another 30 mins or so to upload and change the site details.

So tomorrow then looking at the clock ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] WnLelouch:
Running slow for some reason

After installing this ROM, it has been slow going threw the set up. Overall its been slow loading anything. Is their something to fix this? I came from your CROMBi-kk 20140921 which loaded extremely well. And i did the wipe and all the stuff needed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] WnLelouch:
Nevermind all is working fine. some lag but runs well. Thanks for the all hard work.

Hi all, sounds like everyone is having similar problems to me.

L-O-N-G load times, random freezes, slow apps/games, non-responsive tablet, need to force a reboot constantly to get the tablet to do anything.

I was 2 versions back(Beta 8?), and it was running well for the most part, I still had random reboots and was ready when I saw a new version out. I updated to 9, and it got really bad, same with this newest Beta. Yesterday I re-flashed the ROM twice. Also, I am unable to get a Wallpaper to 'Stick', no matter how I have tried to make it work. It just has a black screen with my launchers controls on top(Smart Launcher 2, if that matters) Keep in mind, this last part is no deal breaker, just mentioning it in case it was one that nobody knew about.

I do use this tablet for work a couple of days of the week. Is there a place to download Beta 8 and install it while I wait for another Beta version?

I'll definitely check back here and update as they come, but for now I probably need to roll back.

As always, I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into this ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Watching the logs I still see the error - failed to load memtrack module (no such file or directory).. but the best is a Fatal signal 11 - then the error - dubuggerd committing suicide to free the zombie! Love the description, but didn't see anything on my side of the motherboard to know there was a crash.

Despite that, so far, running MUCH smoother, great job! BTW - I just saw the portal post for the bootanimation mem leak.. does that affect us at all (I do choose the L bootanimation)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
Been running the latest beta all day... Very stable no issues. Chrome is, well very laggy but using the stock browser is just fine
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Failed to load memtrack - happened on kitkat as well. I see it a lot but I don't think it causes any issues. Beta 10 is running reasonable well here for me.

Still got some better battery life tweaking to do,.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jeromeh:
Beta 10 is working great. Much better than 9. I installed last night and didn't have a reboot until this morning, beta 9 was rebooting every 5-10 mins. I have attached the latest Log.

Thanks again for all your hard work, this is panning out to be a great ROM
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Just FYI - for those of us using data/rom 2sd installs - here're my performance results for a few cards using crystal mark disk tools. There're some significant performance differences in these - you might want to check your cards for best results.

OK so it is still eventually running out of memory - just taking a lot longer - well we are slowly getting there!

Next suspect is kswapd0 - thanks esiri for the heads up!
[Asus Transformer TF700] erzak:
Is it recommended to do a wipe if coming from Beta 7? Or safe to dirty install Beta 10 over it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
I concur... I didn't load this until an hour or so ago, but that hour is MUCH better than I got on the last two builds, not having apps freeze, and not getting the systemui error. So far, so good. Thanks!
