There will be. This section is for unimplemented omni features that are still in development to work with Lollipop. The jump from 4.4 to 5.0 was MASSIVE and has taken the devs a lot more time than they anticipated to get everything up to snuff.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Ok, so have been playing around the rom all day, couple of things I have been experiencing throughout the day (and night)

Managed to setup F2FS on the internal /DATA partition, got a x4 increase in I/O output on Antutu for random data read/write (AFIK it's technically only a write improvement due to the nature of F2FS or am I wrong anyone) super responsive tablet now, obviously the data partition is completely clean so some level of performance improvement was in order, but this is better than any clean install I have seen before so far.

Regarding my issues with spontanious reboots and lagging, I have definitely experienced an improvement by limiting the tablet from going higher than 1,6 GHZ and using the sdbags modified _THAT kernel (limited performance mode during the installer to 1,6 GHZ) the device is not happy about clock speeds higher than that.

Finally I had issues with getting the installer optional built-in TItanium backup to recognize my Play-Store purchased pro/donate version, so did the final install without it pre-installed and then installed it manually alongside with the pro license, batch restored apps and running smoothly atm, not sure if it's possible to do anything about this, but thought I would mention it no matter.

Cheers for the feedback
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
The installer said TiBu would go into /data/app, but it looks to be installed into /system/app

Not sure if this is the issue with working with Pro key.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Don't install TiBu on the Rom installation and just grab it and the pro key after the Rom is installed. :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] eRPeeX:
Indeed not for me the first time. Second time I installed without TB and get it in the Play Store afterwards.

New version is great

Flashed the new 5.1 version last night and wow, this is probably the most smooth this tablet has been since I got it!

Dirty flashing over the previous beta didn't work so well (sat at the boot animation for 45 minutes before I stopped it), but after a clean internal install and using mainly the default options with the OC kernel everything is very snappy. The tablet also now remains usable during updates from the Play Store which has always been an issue previously. Excellent job on this one! The best yet. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sweet isn't it! ;) I'm really enjoying using my TF700 at the moment.

I have another build to do but I'm scared it will make it worse! lol :fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] jeromeh:
I have a clean install and see this issue as well. When the tab goes into deep sleep sometimes it just doesn't come back out. Also I've seen when I force restart sometimes it has to go through "Android is starting... Optimizing app 1 of 50" which I guess means the ART cache gets corrupted somehow. I am trying to pull logs but terminal emulator likes to be finicky after a reboot. I will post when I get them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I moved tibu to system/apps as per the release notes as it was not installing to /data properly. (I didn't update the installer text yet)

So we are saying that the pro key can't be applied if it is in system?

Periods of lag, lock ups, and reboots

Hi all,

Clean installed with _that oc and the remaining defaults. After letting it sit for 4 hours (fell asleep) tablet was really laggy and finally locked up then reboot. Limited oc to 1600 max when it came back up. After reboot it worked great for a couple of days. Today, locked up using the browser. After forced reboot, very laggy. Eventually, it got better, but not as good as the other day.

Will attach logcat in a minute. File browse not working on the tablet? Nothing happens when I click the button. Sorry.

Thanks,

Rick

Are you using F2FS? If not why not? ;)

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] and the other devs.

Really great job with the 5.1 beta. Almost everything is so much from the 5.0 betas. For the next build if you could change the long press menu font in the browser from dark gray background and black font to something like darkgray with white fonts and enable history again, it would be great. Also not sure if this is how it is in Android 5.0 but is the multitasking history supposed to remain after reboots? Nonetheless, Great job one again:fingers-crossed:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] msuguy71:
ugh...{shrug}...what is that?

update: ok, googled it. How do I set it up? Did I miss something in the install?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jeromeh:
As promised, a log. The 5.1 release has been leaps and bounds better than any of the 5.0.x releases.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I can't see what you mean by long press menu font. Mine is fine...

The missing history could be due to browser 2ram.

Welcome to lollipop. It now remembers your recents after a reboot ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] rjspring:
I'm anxiously awaiting this project to reach stable status, I'm still running CM11 and KK is getting pretty long in the tooth...

Backup and flash it.

You'll be happy ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
yes. the Pro key installs from the Play Store, but it's not recognized by the installer TiBu.

you need to uninstall & re-install from Play Store, if it was installed by the Zombi installer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes you are right I just tried it. I think tibu are doing some checks as even if I install it to data through the aroma installer it doesn't work.

Looks like tibu gets dropped there.

I meant when u long press a link and the options window pops up with 'Open in a new Window, Save Link, Copy Link etc'. Since I switched to 5.0 betas that option window has been gray with black font in the stock browser.

It doesn't work on 5.1 . . . yet [emoji6]
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
Exactly what sbdags said! Just do it! This is by far THE best experience I have ever had on my tf700! CM11 is not even in the same universe compared to this ROM. If you are really nervous about it, get yourself a decent 64GB micro-sd card and do a ROM2SD install. (Although, you would still need a compatible ROM/Kernel installed internally to do that!)

That's what I did! Samsung Pro micro-sd card with 90MBps read and 50MBps max write speeds!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
Finally, I get to enjoy this 5.1 B1 rom the way sbdags and others are talking about! I'm not sure if it was twrp 2.8.5.1 f2fs format (I tried 3 times), but I decided to go back to 2.8.4.0, format /data in f2fs, clean install again 5.1 B1 and boom...! this old tablet takes off like a rocket (and it's only on internal f2fs install)! It's smooth as silk. My antutu bench and quadrant standard scores are 23.2k and 8.2k respectively.

Thank you sbdags et al for your hardwork and magic! You guys are the best! You have magically transformed (oops?) a 60 year old (in tablet years) clunk into a 20 year old speedster! I think I'll keep my old trusty TF700T for a while more.

Err.. there's still one thing. When I tried to adjust the brightness to less than 25% in the dark (adaptive brightness on), the screen went black. I had to shine a flashlight into the light sensor to get out of it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Brightness is fixed in beta 2 which I am testing now ;) Thanks to ikke-T for that. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
Yay...!!! Can't wait to play with my new toy! Thanks ikke-T. I saw your post but it's way over my head.

BTW, has anyone ever tried this? On this latest install, I put the tablet over a bag of ice, being careful not to allow any moistures to touch the tablet. TWRP shows CPU temp of 20 - 23C throughout the install, when previously was as high as 55C without cooling. After formatting, I rebooted and went straight to install the 5.1 B1 rom, no wait. As soon as android comes up, I set the max freq to 1.6GHz while installing the remaining apps from play store, just as an extra precaution. I have yet to see any hickups, freeze-ups and reboots. Cross my fingers.

I imagine the CPU gets to be OC'd to 1.8 max after the first reboot. Can we have the option to set the max at later time?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
hmm, i do have a spare water-cooling rig in a closet somewhere . . . time to Franken-tab . . . :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
Yes, the adaptive brightness (AB) definately works now. But I found there is another bug lurking around the screen brightness :( The display get's blank again, but not any more due to AB.

So pease anyone, create a reproducal. Once you have the Beta2 installed, try to find a way to reproduce the screen blank. That would give a lead to find the bug. Something I've found out so far:

AB turned on/off doesn't make effect. Screen goes blank with or without it.

It's not related to screen activity timeout, or the timout is buggy. It goes blank e.g. in a middle of typing with virtual keyboard.

Digitizer stays on, so likely it's only backlight that gets set too dark again. You can use the screen, e.g. continue typing, and once you press e.g. vol+, the screen lits up, and whatever you happened to type appears on the screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
How about coming from 5.4? I've had problems jumping between JB and L builds, but KK isn't bad. I'm not sure why, but even formatting data and wiping everything in site seems to cause issues. I think it could be due to kernel issues and trying to 'reboot to recovery' from within twrp.. I found that I had to actually power off and then get into twrp from a cold boot before seeing the blue bar (if I understand it correctly, that's when the kernel is written?). I'm running great on 5.4 right now, but always love trying out your new great work.

[Asus Transformer TF700] msuguy71:
Anyone have any insight into this? I formatted as f2fs and now I am stuck on the boot animation (let it run for > 1 hour). Where can I get the 2.8.4.0 version of TWRP to format?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
I tried to do it with stock TWMP and had bad luck getting some errors whenever trying to format /data I ended up using this version as posted by "Pretoriano80"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681775

As far as I understand there's no benefit in formatting /system in F2FS as it only really benefits on random writes and I imagine there could be some issues somewhere if trying to boot system from a F2FS formatted partition, but I am not sure
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
Did you let it finish formatting? I know it's hard to tell what TWRP is doing, the progress bar remains static, but you gotta let it do its thing. Try http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf700t

Only format the data partition to f2fs. All others should remain ext4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] msuguy71:
I waited until it said it was done and gave me the back button.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
What version of TWRP did you use? You could try to flash via fastboot TWRP 2.8.4.0 then format the data (only) partition to f2fs. Cache, Dalvik cache and system must remain in ext4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
fwiw, the F2FS format is dramatically faser than the Ext4

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
For others who might be having issues w/ the tablet gagging when awakened after a long sleep, I've noted that since I maxed my speed at 1600ghz it seems to have largely cured that issue. And there's not much a speed loss, frankly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not seen this issue on this version. Mine wakes up instantly even on 1.8GHz. You sure it is not the blank screen bug?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Hmm. Not sure, sbdags. But I haven't seen anything like a screen blanking out for any real length of time. It always seems just be on wakeup. Guess I shoulda pulled a log, but it seemed a minor irritant and as I said I did make it go away by slowing down just a bit. I did, as you may or may not remember, turn off the fsync on my external install, which I'd think maybe was the culprit except it was doing the same thing before that. Hmm. Maybe I should wipe data completely, even reformat it? I
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Blank screen bug is only when using adaptive screen light correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
No. See ikkeT's post, item 1 below:

I haven't seen it in this Beta1. I tried both with virtual and dock keyboards. I saw it in the 5.1 test prior to Beta1, but maybe it's not related?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Ok cheers. After my F2FS internal install the other day I have not seen a single reboot or black screen. I was accrediting this to setting a lower max clock speed (1.6 GHZ), I never use adaptive screen brightness which was why I was wondering.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]. Do the cores get maxed at 1.8GHz during install? If so, is there a chance that it could be postponed until we have done installing/restoring all apps?

By install do you mean the TWRP installation process with aroma?

Yes there is a bug with the setup wizard - if you are not logged into wifi it crashes. For the time being - make sure you log into wfif during the setup process.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] : no, not any Nova or any launcher options , just the Lollipop parameters "pop-up" menu (I don't know the exact name, but it's the one that appears on the top when you swipe down).

With KitKat, it was very simple to change what icons (wich allow you to make somme setup directly, without open the parameters menu) are present : localisation, sound (missing here), light cursor, fly mode, wifi...

That is this settings that I can't find anymore... I was thinking that they are in parameters/Interface section, but this section has no setting at all (empty section !).

Is Browser2RAM still a good idea?

I did not install Browser2RAM because my thought is that 5.1 is sensitive to available memory and 1 GB is on the small side compared to recent devices. (although it is much better than 5.0.x). Has anyone tried both configurations and seen what affect it has on apps other then the browsers?

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I don't know at what point the oc is applied. I guess aroma doesn't yet use the overclock settings?

There was some initial noise on the device after flashing the update, one reboot, one black-screen bug and some initial disk load, I acredit this to the rom stabilizing while finishing the installation and setting things up.
