[Q] HD video lag - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I have a problem with watching Hd vids on my transformer. I use yotube app very often and watching some gameplays or other stuff is impossible because of choppiness of movies. I have this problem since upgrade from HC to ICS (I guess). Is there any way that could help me? (other than sending it for warranty). Audio is also choppy and not only watching in youtube app is pain in my butt.

Guevor's latest kernel 21.6 has great video for me if you're willing to Root and flash it. RMAing your tf will do nothing, It's an ICS problem. See dev/general for info on rooting.

I was rooted but all custom roms were not stable so i went back to Asus rom. So not only me is having video problems?

yeah, It's a Global ICS problem. You could try a Kernel, the kernel is more important than the ROM Imo. ~for stability

So all i have to do is root my tf101(with NVflash for example) and install guevor's kernel. Do i have to change rom in order to get kernel working or even able bo be installed(applied) or stock rom is enough to make it run?

Stock should run it fine.

Ok, thanks. I'll report back if that helped me

Could you give me direct link to guevor's kernel? I can't find any thread about it. I know that Google doesn't bite but i can't find it.

Kernel improved the problem but not completely.. Now I get some audio bugs. Thanks for supporting me!

Odd, I have no audio issues. Try total wiping again, with superwipe script. Otherwise a newer version should fix, try V21.10? (It's not in the 2nd post, but towards the end in an attachment by guevor.)

Ok, thanks I'll try that when i come back home btw don't forget about the time zones ^^

F*** me. Audio problem is not because the kernel when i shake the device it stop/starts playing. It's looks like the speaker's wire is broken... But when i plug in the headphones there is no problem. I'll try changing kernel and rom. If that won't work out then I'll send it for warranty. Any suggestions what should i do? I know that i have to go to stock

It's definitly hardware if it cuts in and out shaking. If you decide to RMA flash total stock with NvFlash or CWM full stock update.zip

[Q] I am sick of ICS issues where can I find the last original HC firmware

Ok so i have scoured this forum today and I have failed to find the answer I seek.
I just want my stable TF101 back. This means the last firmware of HoneyComb. I have tried Revolver and I just keep getting the boot loops and some of my apps just don't work at all. I want to try CM9 but I will wait for that to become just a bit more stable.
So where do I find the original ASUS firmwares? I have found multiple threads that say to download from ASUS but I only see .21 on the site now.
Has someone captured these and if so where?
Or is there a good HoneyComb based ROM that I should try?
I am just sick of the reboots, hangs, and all the other crap.
Thanks guys for your help and time in this matter.
CM9 Megatron is perfectly stable for me, and ARHD is super stable stock, You just need to flash the guevor or tastymehics kernel with it and works amazingly, on ICS. If you're still hell bent on HC two very good HC roms are Prime by roach2010 and Revolver HC by gnufabio.
I'm using the the Frozn rom and ICS test 17c guever kernel and have no issues with rebooting or anything else.. give that a go.
PS: the frozn rom comes with icstest9 guevor kernel which did give me some reboot issues but 17c has been great so far.

Thanks guys I will begin to play around then with the different roms. I have never flashed a new kernel just roms on my phone and pad so I will look into that.
If all else fails and I really want to go back to stock HC is there a place I can find those?
I used my TF for work often and since the upgrade I can not get the citrix receiver to work in ICS and TF.

Is it worth unlocking and installing custom roms at this point?

Basically im trying to get convinced on whether unlock the tf300 or not. Most i see around is people with issues and bricking their tablets
Im used to the g2x its my only experience with custom roms and it seems there is a lot more to the tablet than to my phone.
I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to return to stock..Is there an efficient way to restore to non rooted stock through cwm or that other thing forgot name. Also wich of those recovery's is best to be used. I would like to be able to return to stock unrooted at any time in the case I have to return to bestbuy or any similar issue .
I would also like your experience on the roms out there right now what are your preferences wich one is working best, is battery better than stock rom, is it worth it basically .
Do people that have bricked their tablets have done it because of bad luck it has a chance to happen or simply didn't follow the correct procedure.
I'm still a noob into this unlock bootloader and all this I would apreciate it a lot of I could be pointed the correct way of doing things
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly apreciated.
PS: I find ridiculous that interface studders a bit while on power saving mode quad core 1.0-1.1ghz come on.. Hopefully this isnt the case in CM9 ^^
I'm still in my 30 days for replacement so thought it be best to do this while that in case anything opps it died gime new =D

Hi,
If you unlock the bootloader, there is no way back!
I and I think most of the others brick there dev not while unlocking the bootoader than while rooting and then flashing the wrong image inside CWM (one f*** click).
Hope that helps

I tried the custom roms here. CM9, AOKP,
But returned always to stock rom.
The thing is I like the extra functions of the custom rom. But hate it if somethings do not work. And losing the Asus stuff.
Custom roms are still in early development stage.
Hopefully someone makes a stock based custom rom.
I always was able to restore via CWM backup. But there are always risks.

Although I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet, based on my experiences with the TF101 as well as other android devices...if you are looking for the safe route and stability, i wouldn't recommend unlocking your bootloader and installing custom roms yet. As stated above, development for the 300 is still young, which means there will be plenty of issues that has to be ironed out yet. Usually the people who do this early on in development are the devs themselves or people who are willing to take risks and pretty much accept that they can't really use their device as a daily driver. I have experimented with CM9 aosp, miui, and other aosp stuff, and I always find myself going to a custom stock rom because they are not as plagued with as much issues like the others. There is a thread in the development section that is attempting to reverse engineer the unlocker program so that it doesnt run and tell asus on you. Once you unlock your bootloader, your device's warranty will forever be voided. Since rooting does not void your warranty, I am happy with that for now and see what becomes of the unlocker project. When doing any mods to your system, you always want to make sure that you can undo them before you actually do it.

Yeah thing guess ill give this a few more months see how stable things get prety sure things will get refined by then. I just dont see it worth it for us who just want to flash something better that just works and not mess with it for a while. I love cm based roms on my g2x and it saved my from replacing my phone. Its just not ready for this device yet. I do hope the devs keep up the good work

What he said. Well, I tried AOKP but due to a couple of things I switched back to stock rom again (aside from no Slovene keyboard layout (yet) for the dock, it had a few tiny things didn't work as I'd like and it annoyed me ). I also like ASUS's weather and battery widgets and the Day Scene live wallpaper is also great (I managed to install the weather widget and the wallpaper in AOKP, but the tiny things were still there).

You're doing the right thing.
Unless you really need to tinker alot with it - root is enough for now.
It's practically a baby when it comes to custom roms.
Since we don't have a custom stock ROM yet, here are some ways to have a custom stock ROM like experience...
1. Obviously have your TF rooted
2. Download and install adfree from the play store for ad blocking
3. Download and install Titanium Backup from the play store
-Using TB, you can debloat and remove any apps you don't want. I recommend using the "Freeze" option because some bloat apps are needed for the next OTA update to work. Use the "Defrost" option to get them back.
-Using the freeze option, freeze the app, DMClient. This will completely disable the OTA notification from appearing. Defrost it when the next OTA becomes available.
4. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641219 for build.prop edits. These are performance and battery tweaks that may improve your TF.
5. Search the play store for any apps that may provide you with the functionality and additional options/settings that you may be looking for in custom roms. Theres apps for just about anything these days.

[Q] need help plz

I updated to android 4.0..and this update make my xperia neo v ver slow...evry application take more time to open and even some time it crash.camra,messging all take more time to open..it is dam very slow....even phone dialer take more time to open.
Ok....a few more details, please?
The million dollar question is, did you wipe the cache/dalvik cache before you flashed? Many roms overwrite the system and boot files, but only some devs bake the Superwipe into their roms when flashing. This is good and bad in its own way.

so plesa tell me what can i do and install best rom for Xperia neo V ?
Please do understand that ICS demands more processing power, especially visually. I have an Evo 4g which is a monster on just about any GB rom, but not so much on ICS. I tend to notice the little things, like the FPS while switching screens, slight delays when scrolling up and down a page with a lot of text, etc.
In other words, you might have to accept that your phone might not do as well with ICS of JB.

As far as your broken videos go, you have to read the info that the developer posted about what works and what doesn't. If videos are listed as working, contact the dev. Or, you can also download Mobo Player from the Play Store send download a codec original asked you too. That should solve your videos problem. If not, try to download and flash your rom again.
Going back to GB (Android 2.3.x ).is a decision you will have to make for yourself. Don't be afraid to try different roms. You never know what gold you might find.

ending with custom ROMS, how to get back to stock

Hi. So my problem is, that I've tried almost every custom rom that exists and I thought that Rayman's CM10 will be the last one cause everyone told me that it works totally fine and it's stable. I have to do like 8 restarts per day, cause after a few sleeps the sound goes off, I have slow scrolling, bad reactions of the display. I'm just sick of it and I'm done with all the experiments.
So can anyone link me to some post where I can find how do I get to the Asus stock ICS rom from Rayman's CM10? I'd probably just ROOT it and get drivers for the 3G USB modem and don't do anything else.. I downloaded all the apps I wanted, it took me many hours and I just want something where I don't have to do wipe again.. Something working and stable..
Thanks in advance.
You can get TF101 stock firmwares from the ASUS official website.
and isn't there any problem with the CWM recovery or anything else? can I just install it here?
Last time I reset I flashed latest stock from Asus' then flashed CWM using easyflasher ( showthread.php?t=1688012 ). It also allows for RogueXM that's based on CWM and it provides 1-click root as well.

I'm on EOS 3 with K.A.T kernel for the last two or so weeks and haven't had even the slightest problem. Compared with the stock firmware its at least twice as smooth and afaik the best 3D performance of any rom so far, id give it a try before going back to stock.
that sounds great, I want it to be STABLE, that's the most important thing, I can't stand all the freezing. I'll give it a shot, never tried any different kernel

[Q] Looking for latest ROM

Hi,
What is the latest most updated ROM versions there is for TF101?
Did 4.2.2 JB came out already? Or is it still 4.1.2?
I'm still with 4.03 ICS by Revolver and there's not apparent update of this ROM brand.
I'm more interested in modified stock ROM's than CM based ROM's.
Thanks

Asus has not gone past 4.0.3 (build 9.2.1.27) and it has been over 6 months. I have heard rumors they have abandonned it.
If you want to go to JB, you will have to go with a CM, Paranoid Android, AOSP or AOKP build.
I will say this - IT IS SO WORTH IT! It is so much smoother and such.
I was running the TeamEOS 3 (4.1.X builds) and switched to the PA/CM10 hybrid last fall. Loved the PhabletUI over the tablet UI.
TeamEOS 4 came out with (4.2.X builds) and I jumped over to that. It is fully functoinal for what I use (including BT HID and GPS). No issues for me.
I had the 4.1.2 from MattmanWRX on my TF101 and showed it to a Stock Infinity user and he swore up and down my tablet was smoother and more fluid than his (with 2x the horsepower).
All of the 4.1.X and 4.2.X ROMs that I have run (TeamEOS, LiquidSmooth, MattmanWRX and the RaymanFX 4.2 0.8.0) had full keyboard dock support if you have that.
Keep in mind, 4.2.X is a PhabletUI, no tablet interface available. If you want the Tablet UI, stick with 4.1.X.
@frederuco
Thanks for the detailed reply. I had no idea they didn't go past 4.0.3.
Several of the main features that are important to me is fully functional HDMI output, Direct WiFi, Overclocking and playing HD content smoothly.
Can you tell which ROM will provide me with these function bug-free?
Thanks a bunch!

I cannot comment on WiFi Direct or HDMI, but OC to 1.4 is very good. Some tablets get RR and SoD with 1.5 and higher.
No issues with video playback.
My suggestion - backup using titanium backup, install TWRP from GooManager. Backup your current ROM, then install TeamEOS 4. Be sure to wipe cache, Davlik, format system and factory reset from TWRP.
Restore apps with TB and see if it works.
If not, wipe and restore your Revolver.

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a different style of recovery. It is touch based, has a file manager and a terminal emulator in it. I like it because it can reliably access both internal and microSD storage (no SD or USB).
Also, nandroid backups grab the kernel (CWM on the TF101 do not backup the kernel).
TWRP 2.3.2.3 is required for Android 4.2 ROMs because of the new file structure for multiple users. It will flash fine the first time with other (and older TWRP) but when you update, your data starts getting in nested folders in the /sdcard/.
Another thing, when you go to wipe, ALL of the wipes are in one are instead of spread around like in CWM.
You can also set it up to flash up to 10 files at a time.
I will say that TWRP does not seem to like ARHD, but it has worked fine with Revolver, and all the other 4.1 and 4.2 ROMs I have tried.

Thats exactly what im looking for. I have had little success playing 720p mkv on my device with no lag. I upgraded my TF101 last night to cyanogenmod 10 v6 and it worked great for a little while, even playing videos well with little to no lag. I played with it last night for a couple of hours and installed many apps and settings. I powered it down before i went to bed and now it will not get passed the unlock screen. Its completely unresponsive at the lock screen. Any Ideas? Do i need to flash it to another ROM?

Why would you install something as old as RaymanFX's CM10 v0.6?
Running that, I would recommend upgrading to something newer anyway. There has been updates to that CM10-ROM if you prefer something similar (see the nightly builds), and there has been CM10.1 builds which are equally stable and functional.
My CM10.1 is pretty good and does 720p just fine at 1.4GHz

After browsing the web last night for a while, as i am unfamiliar with android customization, i found a few instruction outlines that pointed me to repositories with builds. That was the newest build i could find on those repositories. I realize now that it is old and have learned a lot about the mods.
I will download the one you are suggesting and seeing how that goes. I appreciate your response!
Glad to hear that, that is the one thing that has not pleased me so far with my transformer. I really want to play 720p rips of movies/shows.
