So how does one go about getting Project Butter activated in JB on TF700T - Asus Transformer TF700

or is it already activated?

It's built into JB. You can't disable it.

Might be seeing things...my IFtab or IFPad is getting butterier day by frickin day.
Weird though, butter is hard when cold...whipped margarine is smooth and creamy when cold.
Why did a person name it "Project Butter"?
Shouldn't that be "Project Creamy" or "Project Whipped Margarine"?

Uhm, I think he's being facetious.

Mmmmmmmm....could be Doc!

I've got the solution! Open up a terminal emulator, type in:
su
stop
Bam, enabled
Not really (obviously) lol... If you're being serious, it's not something that can be turned on; it's a part of the OS itself (as others have stated). If you're trying to say it's not smooth, ROM it up.

[Q] Chrome Beta

has anyone download it? and ive notice its super laggy on tf101 compare to the Galaxy Nexus, has anyone else notice this?
you are right it is a little slow. I would say just use the stock ICS browser untill chrome gets out of beta
yea ICS browser is faster but on the Galaxy Nexus Chrome is way faster. I dont understand why though

There is alot of optimization to be done on chrome
Personally I use Dolphin HD and Chrome on my set up I think even Dolphin HD got faster with ics compared to HC and less crashing so im happy

Looks like the rendering isn´t fast like the stock ICS.
But its good enough for me.

Not being a smart ass but you guys do see that word "beta " in the app name right? It'll get better. Its still early. Just like anything Google does, they let us use beta and test for them to see what to fix

I know its in bet but why the big difference between when using on the tf101 then the Galaxy Nexus. I think if it was a beta problem then it will be slow on what ever device you install it on.

Yea I get your point. I can't answer that. I like it so far but haven't set it as my default. I use the stock ICS browser

Does anyone know how to change user agent settings here?
yea im also using the stock browser because its faster but hopefully with future updates they fix it. I did notice that tf101 kernel version is 2.6 were as the Galaxy Nexus is 3.0.8 i dont know if thats one of the problems it was the only difference ive seen between the two.
Stock browser is faster, but Chrome is much better for me and fast enough - so I'll stick to it probably.
I like Chrome just want it to be a little faster

While you are on it:
can you explain why the external storage mounts to /Removable/MicroSD ?
Many apps can't handle it or can not display it as aa special folder.
Or even better change that with the update or add aa symlink to aa proper place, please.
(that way II don't have to root)
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Seems obvious, with so much storage why move apps to an actual microSD card where many of them install by default and why make having one compulsory too?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
That is not what i mean.
The internal card is mounted at:
/mnt/sdcard
and there is a link to /sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard
So i would expect the external card to mount at:
/mnt/sdcard2 (or something)
and have a link /sdcard2 -> /mnt/sdcard2
but it is just /Removable/MicroSD
try to access your pdf on the external card with the Adobe reader for example.
either i did not find it or it is just not possible to jump to that folder.
I see. Good point, should be all in /mnt/

Is my tablet supposed to be this slow?

Typing on web browsers (default one and chrome) are extremely slow, especially typing Korean (I actually type in Korean a lot). I would type a few words and they will show up on the screen some time later. English is not as bad but still feels extremely laggy.
In addition, general web browsing feels really laggy. Pan and zoom do not feel smooth at all and do not feel like it has a very fast processor, which it does.
Maybe I'm spoiled with iPhone because smoothness is what it excels at, but I still feel like the letters should at least appear on the screen as I type them.
I'm not sure if this is normal.

I'm on the .26 update and still experience general lag that my wife's iPad doesn't have. I'm an android guy for the long haul for reasons other than speed and responsiveness, but it would be nice if these problems could be fixed. Maybe we just need some butter! Jelly Bean butter! All of my ICS experience points to the OS being the source of the lag.

Dolphin has some serious privacy issues. Stallman would be livid. Like, it makes the chrome Botnet look like GNU in comparison.
I got b& at /a/ for sh!tposting ;_;
I've had the slow down in typing that you've mentioned. For me it only happens when I'm filling online forms or in a web game chat box. This issue may not be the tablet but whatever the web site is using for code. Maybe its a flash issue.
Apple has designed their hardware to work perfectly with the ios software. Android doesn't have that luxury as every OEM slaps together a product and hope there are no issues. We have apps for everything like ios but a **** ton of OEM products and os versions that can affect performance from device to device. Are you using a different keyboard app that might have tweaks in the settings?

Is this really still an issue? I thought the privacy concerns had been resolved last November. Dolphin for Tablets is definitely the smoothest browser for me when scrolling large pages, even though its Sunspider marks don't come close to those of Chrome.

Depends on your keyboard as well. I use swiftkey and its predictive algorithms cause lag. When I use the default asus keyboard with my dock in place, lag disappears. Try some different keyboards.

This is a terrible misconception that the grass is greener on the other side when in fact it's not.
iPad users experience some of the same problem Android tablet users experience when it comes occasional slowness. Simply google searching your problems and filtering it to apple.com you will see that Android is not along on this issue.
The tablet with the best web browsing experience is the Blackberry Playbook and even I encounter some websites that want to slow everything down to a crawl. Luckily with Playbook the trouble site doesn't affect anything beyond the web browser which I can easily close out and relaunch.
I think issue centers around most websites being designed specifically for desktop browsers that operate of X86/x64 PCs that have had years of optimized coding and design to handle web browsing.
Just jump back to AMD K6 series and the Intel Pentium II and III to relive horrible web browsing performances.
ARM CPUs are still not there yet but the industry is moving in that direction and so this is something that I predict will go away as more sites get optimzed for tablets.

and im talking about lag issues...just like the title of the thread
I didn't mean to imply that ios is better or I'm looking at greener grass there. I am fine with android and expect it not to function like a desktop. Like Google and the nexus line, the hardware is set up the way the original os company envisioned. Apple put together a great hardware product and is fantastic at creating a top notch user experience. I don't think anyone would deny the ipad has its faults/issues like android tablets. Maybe it is a misconception but its also wrong to expect ipad performance from a non ipad product.
I agree that its more of the website interaction and not the tablet itself. I use thumb keyboard but haven't tried the swift one.
I have had all three ipads as well as all three Transformers. In every case the Ipad out performed the Transformer in the web browsing area using the stock browser. My TF700T comes the close to my Ipad3 but its still not as fluid at my Ipad3 is for internet functioning. I would assume with the release of Jelly Bean for the TF700T that there would be an improvement in the web experience that would be similar to the Ipad3. I perfer a 'pc' experience with the tablet I utilize which is why I have stayed with Asus and the Transformer series. Looking at the entire package of functions my TF700T performes for me it meets my total expectations better than the Ipad3 that I currently own. They are both just tools that fit different peoples needs and are very different in their approach to those needs. I am particular to my TF700T but I am not blinded into thinking that at this time its the end all tablet. I would also quickly tell you that I am very much looking forward to seeing what my TF700T can do once Jelly Bean has been implimented.

Between CleanROM 2.3 and Clemsyns OC kernel, this issue is now a non-issue - things are much smoother... If you haven't yet tried CleanROM/Clemsyn OC kernel, I can't recommend it enough! Forget about the Asus warranty and bring your device to life! After all, what good is a warranty on a device that is no fun to use?
You won't regret it (most of the time, at least!). Once you are sure that your device has no defects, just unlock it and be happy. If you are still worried about warranty coverage, see if you can still purchase a SquareTrade warranty - that will cover you. To be honest, I've heard nothing but horror stories about Asus warranty coverage anyway - in a lot of cases, the device seems to come back in worse shape that it was sent in!

Kingsoft Office laggy input

I've recently tried for the first time bringing my Transformer with me for a business trip as a laptop replacement, and was very disappointed with its performance for editing simple Word/PPT documents. The input lags horribly, which forces me to stop typing while it catches up. Could this be specific to Kingsoft Office, or is it a general TF700 issue? How do I go about fixing it?
Thanks,

No, it's Kingsoft. Does it for me as well with the Dock.
To some hilarious effects, as it tends to mess up the imput halfway through. ""That entirely depends on what else this glorified broom closet decides to come up with." became "Thtenypendowhelthloifedbromclosedecidescmup w."
It's not free, but OfficeSuite Pro has no such issues. (and I do 160 words per minute.)

PS. I am on Kingsoft and dont see much lag? Is it when viewing a spreadsheet? Anyone mind sending me a sheet that has lag for me to test with?
