[Q] All AOSP based roms running poorly on B70 - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It does not seem to be widespread for others but my TF101 is running poorly on all aosp based roms. Worst part is when banners appear in games like extreme skater. Games often slow down and the launcher scrolling gets pretty bad. I have 0 issues with Revolver 4 and Revolution HD 3.4.2. I tried harmony rev3 and guevor kernels and issues are always there. I tried cm9 nightly, Megatron, aokp etc. Tried with super wipe and factory reset, same thing.
Somebody as an idea of what I can try? I would like to run 4.0.4.
Thanks
(How can I delete my other post in the wrong forum?)

Have you tried the Gummy ROM or Steeldroid rom? They're aosp and actually really stable. I'd give them a shot with latest guevor/harmony

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.

AOKP with guevors aokp ics kernel or raymanfx haromny ics is very stable i used it for months after the rr rob

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] Graphical errors with custom kernels

I have been searching for related issues to no avail.
Has anyone experienced graphical errors with roms that are running custom kernels? This seems to happen to me with any rom that has a custom kernel or whenever I install a custom kernel (one without any known issues) onto a rom. The latest would be related to incubus' latest ICS with the Ktoonz integrated kernel.
The errors start with a "loading swirl" that will glitch out from time to time, and eventually my icons and menus will stop showing up. This is using stock settings on the kernels. The problems are the exact same no matter the rom, as long as a custom kernel is being used.
I get these problems even after full wipes and md5 checks, could this be hardware related?
Thanks for reading, this is driving me nuts as I have always been a hardcore OCer and it's really bumming me out that I can't tweak my S3
Any suggestions or ideas, let me know !! :good:

Since you said your not running any overclocked GPU kernels (Correct?) that could cause artifacts and other related glitches, it sounds to me like that is a hardware issue. What kernel are you currently running, cause if you provide me a link to it I can double check the change log for you and make sure you didn't accidentally miss any problems that were reported or bugs .

Not running a kernel with an OCed GPU afaik. I have had issues running any of beans custom stock roms when I select the custom kernel in aroma, all of imoseyens custom kernels have caused the same graphical error, and running incubus' latest "[ROM] JellyBomb ICS [VZW] [VRALHE] [RLS3] [10/21/12] By Incubus26Jc" with the integrated ktoons has also caused the same graphical glitches.
I am assuming inc is using the latest ICS version found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853816
No one else seems to be having these issues except one person I stumbled across in a beans thread a while back. I sure hope it's not hardware
I'm having a similar error, except with certain games.

Interesting that both of you seem to be having somewhat similar problems, it may not be a hardware issue then after all. Some phones just don't like custom kernels and don't play nicely with them at all. For example my trusty old Droid 1 wouldn't boot if I used ULV kernels (Except for Deprimed kernel), I had to use LV kernels or above. If wanted to you could try running CM10 and see how that goes for you.

I have seemed to fix the issue, it turns out that my major issue was the undervolting that comes with most custom kernels. The trick was to change settings before things got too out of whack... Hopefully this might help some others as well.

[Q] What ROM have folks settled on ?

I have been running the latest stock JB for a day and would like to know what other ROMs peeps have had a good experience with. I see folks on Clean Rom and Cyanogen 10. If your using one of those I would like to know how well they work any broken features?
Cheers,

Why don't you add a poll to make it easier for folk?

Didn't think of that good idea!
Poll added.
I'd been on the stock rom for ages... only took the plunge to unlock this week. I'm using:
TWRP 2.3.3.0
I first installed surdu_petru The Ultra Fast Rom V03 (I wasn't too keen on the new icons)
Then installed Cleanrom Inheritance 3.04 (Keeping surdu_petru kernel)
Having root and being able to delete anything I want has been great.. I was going to remove the stock browser and install Opera Mobile and re-map the keyboard dock key to Opera. I didn't needed to as the stock browser works great now. Really impressed with the rom :laugh: .... I've used m TF300T more in the last week than I have in the previous 6 months.... it really was a slow piece of crap before (I'd tried everything to get this thing running smoothly before unlocking).
I have to say Asus REALLY needs to look at doing something to make the stock rom workable. No one should have to unlock and flash a new kernel / rom just to be able to use the stock browser properly.
Both roms worked great just prefer sbdags theme more
I have tried most of the roms and without a doubt at the present time its clean rom 3.0.4 for me. unters first tf300 kernal at 1.6 ghz overclock and 520 mhz gpu works great and i did not find any thing at all that didnt work as it should. unters 4.4.20 is what i use and that breaks the front camera but has a slightly higher 1.7 ghz overclock and 600 mhz gpu. the clem kernals work on mine but i get fc on occasion and they also break the cam and do not support some micro sd cards. imho you will not find a better rom atm period though all the roms are very nice and people worked very hard to make them so try em and see what suits your taste buds, bud oh and i did find that my gps wasnt woring well but after flashing the agps patch it cleared right up.

I flashed all available Roms so far. Clean Rom is the best by miles.
Cleanrom runs good, nothing to complain about.
Running Blue Android 2.0, and clean fast.. .
Paranoid Android v2.54 with the modified Unter kernel. I've been running it since day 1 and love it!

I am using CM10.1. It is pretty stable and fast, and has new updates every day, adding new features and fixing bugs. Also, it's 4.2.1, which has its advantages. (and disavantages, the new UI sucks)
I've been using CaponmodTF the past few days, though I've tried cleanrom as well but CapmonTF is imo the smoothest of them all.
Swiping a page with the stock browser on this one has the smoothest experience. So I choose none of the list.
i voted Clean, but really miss PA...
incomplete list of choices
I've been running Energy Rom by NRGZ28, clean smooth & fast, have had no issues.
I'm on clean rom mostly so I can try the arch dual booting
Otherwise I'd be on a cm based rom
Probably jellybro

I was on Baked blackbean 6 then to CM 10.1 nightlies. Went to clean rom last night after I got the keyboard ($50 at office depo).
There are so many good things about each one of them: bb has rom control and customizations; CM10.1 with Android 4.2's new features; cleanrom for it's asus feel and keyboard compatability.
I am really happy with the development on this device!
CleanRom 1.8GHz is so sick.

[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!

EOS4 will be a beast once its finished, for now if your just coming from stock id recommend EOS3 (with kat kernel #70), hd playback/ heavy 3d games are improved greatly on these roms only issue you may find is input lag on hdmi, this was my experience when trying hdmi yet havnt seen it reported in the threads by anyone else yet.

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.

I use HDMI (without audio so I can't confirm it works), it's overclocked to 1.5GHz and I'm playing 720p mkv scene releases in MX Player without issues. Can't say about Direct Wifi, I don't use that. All on Team EOS's latest 4.2.1 (haven't made the jump to 4.2.2 yet).

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.

[Q] Kernel Question

Hi everyone!
I recently rooted and installed the twrp recovery on my TF101 on stock ics rom.
Now I want to install a custom kernel but I don't know which is the best.
Can anyone help me to find the best solution?
Thanks in advance.
Depends which ROM you're using, KatKernel is a very popular and fast kernel, and TeamEOS4 is a fast ROM too (4.2.2)
Is the EOS rom fully working? What about bugs?
In my signature you can see which rom I am using. It is the latest official in my country.
You're still running ICS, TeamEOS is Jellybean the newest version of Android
There are some bugs, but not as many as stock ICS had
Read the main post with hints and tips and read some of the latest posts about the laetst build, I've been running EOS for a long time and love it, best my TF has ever run
EOS thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063406
If you are not bothered about the latest ROM, EOS3 #81 with KatKernel is a very stable and fast build of Jellybean 4.1.2
Are there any known bugs? I can't find them.
Does the rom come with the kernel integrated? Or do I have to install it manually?
Also I can't find #81. Here http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/nightlies/tf101 the oldest is #82.
The latest 4.2.2 which number is? The last (#109)?
Known bugs are mainly in the comments, as things change with each build
EOS3 #81 is here (EOS4 starts #82)
http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/nightlies/tf101/
All ROMs come with their own kernels, but you generally find the separate kernels are much better than the stock ones, EOS & KatKernel is definitely a good match
There are two branches of EOS4, Nightlies and Previews, you'll find the links to each in post 2 of the EOS4 thread, explanations of each are there too
Personally if you want a 99.99% bug free ROM, try EOS3 #81 & KatKernel #69 and Gapps (Google Apps)
Main bug in EOS4 is lag on the homescreen scrolling
Workaround is Hold power button until menu appears and choose to hide NavBars = Smooth scrolling
So the main bug is just the scrolling! Nice.
I will try firstly the eos4 and then the other if the first has bugs.
Should I keep their kernel? Or do you recommend to flash another?
I want the rom to be stable because some days I leave it to my mother to play angry birds and I don't want it to get stuck. :/
On my hands it can be a bit laggy
Yea the main issue is just slightly laggy scrolling but it only affects the homescreens, inside app draw or any other app it is very smooth
I suggest KatKernel with any TeamEOS ROM, #103 is the latest for EOS4
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/kernel/Tim_KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch.zip
#69 is the latest for EOS3

Man in the download page of eos4 the 109 seems to be the latest version as it says 20th of April. The 103 says 26th of March. Are you sure that 103 is the latest?
I installed the 109 nightly. Now testing. Seems to have an issue with video playback. The same file that was playing with the stock rom, now says "the video cannot be played".
#109 Nightly is the latest ROM
#103 KatKernel is the latest KatKernel
KatKernel is a much better kernel than stock
Clear cahce and dalvik cache, Flash the ROM, then clear both caches, then flash the Kernel and clear caches again, then flash Gapps and clear caches again, then reboot, that's how I always do it
MX Video Player & ARMv7 Codecs Pack plays just about anything for me, you might need to switch to software decoding when the video fails to play using hardware decoding though, same with certain audio tracks if you get no sound on the video
Grab the Kat Audio enhancer app too, that has a load of goodies for EOS4

Thanks man! You are great!
Something more, I have two accounts on the tablet with 4.2.2 but when I install apps from the main, they are not appearing in the second.
What can I do? Do I have to reinstall them from the other account?
I haven't had a chance to play around with adding extra accounts yet so you'll have to figure that one out

Google has changed on Android 4.2 for tablets. You can share a tablet with others. If you create a second user. It will bring you to the setup just like a new device. For example if you installed a custom launcher on first user, it will not appear on the second. So all homescreen customizations, apps and also accounts will be seperated.
