[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well I got it booting properly but performance is horrible. First boot now takes 20 mins. Everything is crawling and lagging - 5 to 10 secs to do anything.

I feel like one of those posts from people who get the really bad performance. Now I am seeing it for the first time - I have never experienced anything like this.

So time to rebuild zombi properly and fix this thing up for good! :D

EDIT : Would help if I were using F2FS as well I suppose! :rolleyes: :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK I got performance back up to what I call reasonable. The fix? F2FS. It has been so long since I used EXT4 I had forgotten how bad it was.

So for this latest version F2FS is a must!

Will do a day of testing but it is running sweet at the moment. The initial first boot after a wipe and flash takes 20 mins but this is due to the way ART is compiling and building the code. It only happens that first time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Great job! But you better put that hint about the 20 min boot into 36 point text in the OP!

And we'll still get "Help! Stuck on boot" posts a plenty, I'll bet ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hannes_HD2:
Doesn't this suggest that f2fs for all partitions might be beneficial? Care to implement in the process? :) really looking forward to this new baby of yours!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No F2FS is only useful for writes. No point in changing /system and /cache as they rarely if ever get written to. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Since the kernels support f2fs, all you need is a ramdisk change to add f2fs to the other partitions. I tried on /cache but found no benefit. We will be sticking to /data only.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well it's looking good for a test release tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled on the thread. Performance is doing ok on my old way of checking ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

What's the software you use for those benchmarks?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Frobbit:
It is an app called "quadrant".

Very user friendly!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK Changelog is up :)

Note this is a full wipe upgrade guys! If you use TWRP and format /data it will take you back to EXT4 so remember to convert /data back to F2FS after.

I'm seeing a pretty snappy rom with _that's kernel.

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Maybe, you would like to add a f2fs format cmd in the updater-script so if users want to use f2fs for the /data, it will use the right format for that partition. I believed that [MENTION=299789]Bernd[/MENTION] and I used that method for the repacked on the Cromi-X v5.4....:)

As in, just the status indicator, right? ☺
[Asus Transformer TF700] NonoWeber:
Very nice. Thank You dev team. I'm running a very simple stock install of the ROM sans dock and apart from some apps loading a little slowly to start - YT / Maps - the tab works just fine for a very old girl.

In fact I've just watched Toto Live on YT without any issues. Initial GPS lock was a little slow as usual but work OK now with maps.

[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
Have just installed. Unfortunately, not getting the performance scores sbdags did with stock tweaks in aroma installer (see image), but otherwise faster than before (so far) and very painless install. All up about an hour including Titanium restore of all apps (no data). Many thanks for the continued development.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapiora:
OMG man! This is the best firmware I have ever used so far. You are not developer, you are magician. Thank you very much for all your hard work! After this update my plans to buy a new tablet are no more
[Asus Transformer TF700] NonoWeber:
No me either, but I'm a mere mortal, unlike sbdags !
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah the only diff in our scores is the CPU so maybe you aren't running at 1800MHz? Or you didn't set noop and performance?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
Did both 1800Mhz and noop as recommended to get the result I did in quadrant. Any other ideas? Would love to get above 9000 as you did.:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
F2FS?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
F2fs too I'm afraid.:crying: Read all your recommendations before upgrading. Am about to try a reinstall with full wipe again to see what happens.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricardjs:
I installed, everything went smooth.

Quadrant for me is 8.052, considering i did all the recommended tweaks.

So far no errors, but i kind of miss the extra battery indicator, could we do it with some extra widget from playstore?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapiora:
Why do you care about the benchmark? I just enjoy using the tablet without worrying about the benchmarks.

[Asus Transformer TF700] RoraimaFilho:
To have such a good benchmark, it need to instal on sdcard? Or use a sdcard? Or it could be possible just with the tablet memory?

IMO, all new ROM installs need multiple re-boots before the install becomes stable. This also applies to battery stats, IMO.

Add this cmd in one of the file script in the init.d folder and save it with a reboot. You should have a governor of your choice. It worked fine for me in the past but I don't know if it still works with newer android OS.....:D

echo "new-governor-name" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

This rom seems great so far but I have an issue and I'm curious if it's widespread. Netflix seems to refuse to stream in full HD on this Rom. It was working fine on Cromi-X 5.4 but since the switch I've not been able to achieve full HD. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Netflix streams fine here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
Can I install this ROM on the Asus TF300 too? Or is it specially tweaked for the TF700 and I need another version? (I have a TF300 as well).

Its certainly a very noticeable improvement in performance so far over RC1 in my TF700, but sometimes, I have noticed in the past, that is negated by use over time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
I've run into a couple of issues and I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar. I unplugged my tablet last night, fully charged, browsed for a couple of minutes and went to bed with still around 95% on the battery. This morning I went to use my tab and it was dead as a doornail. In less than 12 hours it burnt through both the dock and tab batteries. In all of the iterations of sbdags roms I've never had anything like that happen.

Also, I was browsing the web and went to play a youtube video in the stock browser. It sputtered so bad it was unviewable. Not like a buffering issue either, it was more like a bad sample rate issue or something. Same video in the YouTube app was fine.

Neither of these problems had every manifested in rc1 so I was wondering if this might be something with my install or if other people were having similar issues.

Anyone here using the multiple user option, more specifically adding a restricted user? I am finding that when I have setup a restricted user and switch to that profile, the tablet is VERY laggy.

I am trying to set this up for my daughter and want some control over what she can and cannot do.

Just try KatKiss. Very smooth with multiple users too.

I told the developers here to port it 8+ months ago, but they keep saying, that the hardware is not capable. It's not possible to get more out of this device. Timduru's ROM (the KatKiss) is the same Android as this.

I don't want to be disrespectful, because these guys make a lot of work for the community without any exchange. But nobody can get anywhere saysing "it's impossible"

Boot loop

After installing RC2 and it worked great, I was silly enough to try to convert 'system' instead of just 'data' to f2fs using TWRP. The tablet was corrupted (data could not be mounted ) and had to be formatted again. The new RC2 installation can't get past the marshmallows boot logo. Is there any prerequisites prior to flashing. I reflashed the Rom a few times without success. Thanks

I noticed that when booting into recovery there is a message "key driver not found..Boooting OS

Android cardhu-user bootloader 1.00> realeased by "WW_epad - 10.6.1.14.10..".
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
This doesn't belong in here, go peddle it somewhere else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hannes_HD2:
That worked. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
Many thanks. I thought it was probably alright to use on tf300 because it was an option in aroma installer. Just wasn't certain and didn't want to corrupt boot etc. Will install on my tf300 as well now. Very pleased with the performance gain on my tf700 (about a 30% improvement).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm leaving it on performance tends to drain your battery quite quickly! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Have you formatted /system back to EXT4?

Ignore that message - everyone gets it and it is irrelevant to your problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Interactive governor is the best according to my test. It is a balance on responsiveness and I/O throughput. Of course, it is a combination of scheduler also. Noop is not bad at all but SIO is better in my opinion. Try to add it in the kernel and test it out yourselves. Update the interactive governor code also to further improving the throughput.

Good luck,

LMK

Yes I used the terminal in TWRP to run the following command

mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

I will try again. .or should I do something else?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
mmcblk0p8 is data - not system...

Just reflash the rom. System gets formatted to ext4 during installation.

But format /data to f2fs in TWRP before you flash to get everything back in order.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] LMK's idea of building the file system conversion into the updater script works great. Just tested it and so far: flawless
[Asus Transformer TF700] langbat:
Thank you for your advice. TWRP gave am error message when I formated /data:

...process ended with ERROR =1

Unable to wipe /data

Unknown MTP Message type :1

Error changing file system.

Does the rom work with ext4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes of course but it will be slower.

I think you might need to reformat the partitions from adb on a PC whilst in TWRP.

Try this:

Check the device is connected with

adb devices

then

adb shell

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

exit

Reboot back into TWRP and then convert /data to F2FS

Then reinstall the rom
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Have you got a test version I can look at? I can see a few changes you could make to aroma to make it a bit more efficient as well. Also you have dropped data2sd and rom2sd which were useful on JB. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark324:
Seems like performance changes never stick on, governor stays on interactive asnd setting minimum and max frequency to 1800/1800 will revert back to 204/1800.Also I don't think it ever maxes out at 1800 only at 1600.the only changes that stays on is scheduler.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
See the posts - and fix - on this issue a couple of pages back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
1800 is only available on _that's kernel and only if you enabled OCing in the installer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
Just wanted to follow up and share my experience on this particular issue.

I messed around with a few settings and eventually got the battery situation to settle down by disabling the auto display brightness. Not sure what the deal was there, but that seemed to work. In the meantime, I noticed major lags in several situations, namely calling up favorites in the browser, returning to the home screen from almost every app and general slowness and stutters.

This is no knock on that's kernel because I know for many people it is the kernel of choice and I really don't see too many similar reports, but prior to flashing this update I hadk been on the sbdags omni kernel and was very happy with it. In Cromi-X I recall running into very a very similar experience on that's kernel with major lags and stutters during fairly routine tasks such as those stated above. I decided to go ahead an flash the rom again, keeping everything the same except for returning to the Omni kernel. Sure enough, I'm back to a really smooth snappy experience.

I can't say for certain why my tablet behaves this way while so many others are able to get a perfectly acceptable experience from their tablet with a different kernel, but I can say that this is definitely what has worked for me. I'd like to believe that all of our hardware is identical, but maybe it's just not. In any case, I wanted to share this experience in hopes that it might help someone else.

As always, outstanding work sbdags and all of the other contributors to this outstanding rom. As long as my tablet lives, this is my rom of choice and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone.

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] langbat:
Thanks sbdags. Ran all the commands and rebooted into TWRP. TWRP gave me the same error when I tried to convert /data to f2fs. I then updated TWRP to 2.8.7.2 (was2.8.7) which successfully converted /data.

I flashed RC2 again but it didn't get pass the boot animation. Prior to my stuff up, RC2 was flashed with TWRP 2.8.4. I wonder if anyone got it working with 2.8.7.2....maybe it's irrelevant.

Is there anything else I can try?

Much appreciated Gentlemen! I tried both commands. Firstly, I ran "fastboot erase userdata", then reflashed the ROM and rebooted. It still stuck at the boot logo.

Secondly, I tried "fastboot -w", there was an error message "failed command write failed (unknown error)" when it was writing cache. This time I didn't reflash the ROM but just booted the system. The boot process stopped at boot logo. ..
