[Q] tf700 cleanrom lagginess? - Asus Transformer TF700

Hi,
Ever since I remember my tf700 and cleanrom (from 2.x and above) it was kinda laggy. I noticed that during my several application usages (TED, Sketchmobile for tablets etc.).
Anyone else been having that issue? Even chrome is lagging abit ...

Are you on the latest jelly bean bootloader - it makes a difference. Also which options are you installing with?
What is TED?

Lagginess in CleanRom is impossible. You must have done something wrong
@sdbags, TED is an app (and website) that lets you stream some of the most interesting videos on the planet with

I tried either the stock kernel or the oc'ed one (1.5ghz I think) version 1.8. It was on top of the list. Also, I added the adaway options and the smooth scrooling.
Other than these, I havn't picked any system tweaks.
I've done this with wipe too.
In fact, right after it boots - it feels "really laggy". It took about 1-2 seconds to go between initial setup screens. Once it finished and I reboot, it works ok - but it still lags in certain apps. Sketch for tablet is an excellent example because you can really see a 0.5s delay between what I draw and what is drawen.
Same goes with titanium bacup by the way .. gets 0.5-1 s delay between certain options.

Doesn't sound right.
Are you sure you are on the latest Asus jelly bean bootloader? You haven't said yet. Which Rom did you come from? Roms will always be laggy after a full reboot. There are many processes and apps starting even after the lock screen becomes available.But you don't shut down and reboot very often do you so it's a moot point.

not able to install some apk
I was enjoying the smoothness of the cleanrom until i couldnt install some apks, says fre up space but i got lil over 5 gig and my micro sd barely has anything in it and i got 32 mico sd, also i know its not same section but is it possible to just root and just continue with stock? LOVE the clean but the error with installing certain apks while under rom upsets me cuz i can use backup to before i used the rom and install but then it wouldnt be rooted
Ok i can act like sucha noob, found how to root without changing anything,but i do still would like to figure about the cleanrom

...again you're on the wrong bootloader.
Were you on ICS when you flashed?
You will have to go back update to Jelly Bean then start the flashing process over.
Take it from me I was seeing exactly what you have now when I first flashed the original ClROM.

You have been using lucky patcher and it has left some patched .odex files in your data/app folder. Please remove them and your problem will go away.

Remarkable sleuthing. My respect!
@OP: start paying for your software, or we will start charging for our help. :silly:

Regarding the bootloader: 10.4.4.16 (got that from the download mode windows)..
Only thing I remember about the BL is that I already got my tf700 with JB on it, so I couldn't downgrade and had to unlock it as is (thus not able to backup some crucial anti-brick files).

[Q] Issues with A701 upgrade to 4.1.1

Hi All,
Really sorry to post a new thread about this, but I am unable to add a post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911437
So, followed Member - OPs guide to manually update my A701 to JB.
Simply put, the patch would not install (failed with a permissions error)
Put JB on anyway (just to see) and this won't let me get past the choice of language and location (Also, at this stage, SuperUser tells me system is requesting SuperUser access and whatever I do, it accepts)
So, used CWM to put the 4.0.4 build back, and that worked fine - though according to About Tablet I am actually on 4.1.1
I see improved UI speed and responsiveness, it's all looking great.
But Play Store won't run. Tried adding the latest version, still 'unfortunately stops' Also Nova refuses to run.
Has anyone run into any of these issues (Patch not installing, Play Store failing) and have any ideas what I can do to fix them?
Really sorry again for making a new thread in the wrong forum, I didn't see a choice (other than waiting!)
Thanks in advance,
Al

Mate, it doesn't sound good.
What I would do, at this point, is Fastboot the 4.1 image again.. And stay the heck out of CWM. If you Fastbooted the 4.0.4 image, and you still have it showing 4.1, then you have a serious issue. So boot to fastboot, and try it again. Clearly, whatever you did with CWM, didn't work,
Installing a rom from CWM, requires certain things to be done, either in the install script, or via CWM.
Most notably, Formatting User data, cache, dalvik, system, and data. If any of these do not get done, chances are, the rom install will not go good. The basic install script, generally only formats System and Flexrom. This is because Acer distributes a full rom with the understanding there is nothing on it. Most rom modders know this, which is why they give extra instructions via cwm.
The big thing, is when you boot your tablet, is if it says which bootloader you are on. So you have to look,. You want to be on the JB bootloader.
MD
Thanks for the response MD,
A tiny bit unsure how to proceed. I understand everything that you said (well, I think I understood correctly!)
I have in fact tried to fastboot the 4.1.1 image again, and again I am stuck on the language and location screen (did this last night before giving up for the day)
I have read and understood "Stay away from CWM" (and I know that it is in this case only - have used CWM on my Gnex without issue)
Please forgive me if what I am about to write is ridiculous - this is kind of where we'll see whether I understood correctly or not.
I'm thinking that if the various areas were not wiped, and that could be the reason for the snafu, then it would be worth going into CWM (which I have been warned to stay away from, and which I would stay away from except for this one thing) and formatting the user data, system, dalvik etc, then applying either the 4.1 or 4.0.4 to result in a working tablet.
Or possibly flashing the bootloader to make sure it is JB
Or going back to the weird 4.0.4/4.1.1 hybrid which works but doesn't allow Play Store and finding a way around that issue.
Mate, I'm not sure which way to go at this point!
Fastbooting 4.1 is a dead end at the moment (but could that be a bootloader issue....)
Fastbooting 4.0.4 gives me the hybrid (though I can check this again tonight)
BTW, the only CWM Rom work I have tried to do has been with the patched update (second downloadable file I think) - everything else has been done via ADB
So.....CWM to wipe/format caches? (I'm thinking 'NO! DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID ABOUT STAYING AWAY FROM CWM????' but I'm asking anyway!)
Flash a new bootloader on? If so, any idea where I would find it (will obviously search here and Google)
Thanks anyway, and thanks in advance if you have any more advice. I really do appreciate the support!
Al
Well Al,
This is perplexing to say the least. Clearly fastbooting the 411 results in frozen at the wizard. My question, when you have the unlocked bootloader, does it say JBxxxxxxxx unlock mode when you boot the tab? Because it should. If it doesn't, then you're still on ICS bootloader. And will have to do the CWM thing to get JB installed. The 411 image flash, is to get a rooted version.
And this is the point. Personally, I do not trust the CWM's at this point. That's just me (already bricked 1 tab 3 months ago with a faulty CWM) I know the folks with ICS are using Pawitp's CWM, and haven't reported issues. But I don't know if they are doing wipes or not.
As with the 404 image, well, why playstore doesn't work is perplexing. You could try reinstalling the playstore via manual method (root required). Which is to delete the vending.apk, install a new vending.apk (making sure permissions are the same as the other files), then reboot. Go to settings, wipe the playstore cache's. Then try Playstore again. This was an old method we used with market issues in HC.
Personally, I feel the issue is with the wipes before running the patch. But I would hate you do the wipes and formats, then discover the emmc chip bricked. So it's 50/50.
But heck, you have warranty. Just install some update.zip, and it resets your bootloader so service doesn't complain
Wish I could give you a definitive answer, but these processes are too new.

Hi MD,
Thanks for such a speedy and useful response!
Warranty: nope! I'm in China, bought the tablet in Shanghai (now way down south in Shenzhen) and it was a dodgy deal to say the least. I suspect they were being lifted from the factory. No complaints from me about this, or about any difficulties caused by rooting/flashing/CWM. My choice of action all the way along and I am aware of the risks
Just flashed 404 again and it is fine so far, again very nice and smooth. Going to look at the Play Store and see how it behaves, see what I can do as far as vending.apk is concerned (although I'm lost when it comes to permissions. Obviously I know what permissions are in tech terms, but no idea where they would be set, how to change them, what to use as a reference) I figure this is the path of least resistance for right now.
Then I'm going to see if I can apply the standard A701 update to JB (which I won't be able to because of rooting/unlocking but I will fiddle around) and see if I have any joy.
Got my keen eyed gf to check the message on boot, you were right that with the 411 image applied it still had an ICS bootloader, so that's good to know if I want to try going back to the flashed JB image. However, I have no idea how to flash the JB bootloader/kernel, and the CWM process for the patched update fails each time (despite editing the first line of the necessary file in META-INF/Google/Android)
So, I will keep you up to date with progress. Fingers crossed!!!

Quick update.
Play Store seemed fine for quite a long time (although I didn't download anything, I was able to browse no problem)
Went to install my back up of Nova, and of course had to tick 'Unknown Sources'
As soon as I did that, allowing installation of apps not downloaded from the play store, I got the 'Unfortunately Play Store has stopped working' message. Before I installed anything else, immediately I ticked that box.
Unticked it, but still not working - installed Nova, not working.
So....

Well, seems like Nova is the culprit. I assume you are talking about nova launcher? Or nova the game?
Hi MD
Yes, Nova launcher but no, it's not the culprit. At least I don't think so.
The play store stopped as soon as I ticked 'Install from unknown sources', before I installed Nova.
Very odd.
Quick questions:
1) Any advice/links/downloads for changing to JB bootloader if I apply the 4.1.1 again? Given that I cannot run the patched update/flash from CWM, I am guessing I would need to directly install/flash the bootloader from ADB...
2) Don't kill me for asking this. I know to stay away from CWM, I have seen you post it a good few times here, I heed the warning....BUT.....
Given that I have CWM installed and it's working ok (apart from failing to apply updates) - I have 6.0.1.4 - many of the guides to updating the 701 say it needs 6.0.1.1. Would the slightly more recent version of CWM make a difference in terms of success or failure of the update? Update is failing with a 'set_perm:some changes failed' very early in the update.
Seriously, I am being extremely wary of CWM, it's just that currently I have a slightly disabled tablet and it would be great to get this sorted.
Thanks, once again, for all your help,
Al
Update again, put 404 back on (after issue with play store and unknown sources)
Opened play store, downloaded Apex launcher - all good.
Ran Apex, all good....then suddenly Play Store stops, Apex stops, never to return.
With 404 img on, About Tablet still says 4.1.1
The saga continues!!
Aaaand that's the end of that!
Put 4.1.1 back on, pushed the boot.img from the official update.
Now no CWM, so it seems no recovery mode....if I try to get there by volume down and power on, it goes into update mode.
And of course neither the official update nor the 'patched' one will apply.
Can boot to the first start screen (language/location) but can't get any further.
Maybe I can find a service center here in Shenzhen who can sort it out.....as I said before, no harm no foul, I knew the risks!
Thanks one more time MD for all your support and advice )
Or is it......?
Didn't give up, didn't surrender. Found out how to get into fastboot using frantic waggling of the rotation lock.
Just flashed 404 on again, waiting for boot to finish. Might still have a semi-usable tablet! Then I just wait till a 100% working JB manual update surfaces!

HA HA, you found the User Data wipe.... Yeah, a little known secret from the 500 forums.
MD
It's so strange....so now I'm back to having flashed 404 but the tablet thinks it's 411.
Play store was fine for about 40 minutes, I quickly got chrome, currents and BBC news.
I turned off the Acer ring and play store died...
But here I am, typing to you on the tablet and it's fine. And what a change in performance. It's most noticeable in currents..the increase in speed and smoothness when scrolling between pages makes it at least ten times better than before.
But the last flash was 404....weird....
I'll leave it like this for now. No market but at least it's not semi bricked!
Super Quick update - in lieu of finding a sparkly copy of vending.apk, I tried wiping data and uninstalling Play Store (reverting to factory)
It duly downloaded a new version, and worked fine.
Then I popped Apex on, the GPS got busy, and Apex and Play Store died.
The wipe/uninstall worked again for Play Store so to be honest, I am currently quite happy. Ok, it's not perfect, but if I can quickly reinstate Play any time it fouls up, I can still build up a decent amount of apps to make the thing useful.
And seriously, whatever changes are there (considering the weird 404/411 hybrid) the performance is incredibly enhanced. All the faffing has been worth it, it is finally the tablet that it should have been from the start.

Well, good news then. I think it's an interesting set-up. Hybrid. Still not sure though, why it pulls 411 from the build.prop as it should have been changed when you flashed the 404image. But honestly, after reading the OP's steps, I believe he references going back to 404 via CWM, and not fastboot. This of course would mean installing a full 404 original rom. I'll have to look over my JB system dump and see where the other prop would be. Maybe something changed in JB.
So if you can live with it, it's probably better to leave it be till we come up with something more definitive.
MD
"So if you can live with it, it's probably better to leave it be till we come up with something more definitive"
Yeah, totally agree.
Mate, seriously, thanks for the support and advice on this. It makes a big difference. Even as I sat there last night with what seemed to be an unusable tablet, being able to chat to you about it meant that at least I didn't feel completely adrift!
Big big thanks

Trying to flash LiquidSmooth, and a few problems

Hi everyone, really sorry if someone has asked this before, but I looked through the forums and couldn't find much pertaining to my problem.
I installed LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 for my I535 Galaxy S3 on Verizon, and it loaded, but I noticed my appstore was gone, preventing me from installing Titanium to get all my apps back.
I googled it and that told me to install Gaaps. So I reflashed the stock ROM, and then installed Gaaps. When I did, every Google related app crashed simultaneously, making the phone near unusable. I figured I'd just reflash the stock image again, and that seemed to fix the problem. Is there anything else I should do, in case something goes wrong?
I have a feeling I might have used the wrong Gaaps? Is there a certain place I'm supposed to look as mentioned here? In that same thread, it looks like the dev doesn't even want to answer where to get the gaaps.
Again, I'm sorry if the answer is obvious, but I am having a little trouble here.

yes.
Always make sure to flash a Gapps package when flashing a ROM, unless otherwise specified. Also, when flashing a Gapps package make sure that you flash a gapps package that is compatible with whichever variant phone you are using, in your case d2vzw as well as compatible with the ROM, i.e. if flashing a 4.2.2 ROM make sure you flash the compatible gapps package. Doing an extra 10 minutes of research can save you hours of headaches.

Questions about installing CleanROM

Hey everyone. Just joined the tablet world and bought a TF700T because the specs looked awesome (2 weeks in). I have to admit though i was extremely disappointed on how it performed stock. So i took the plunge, voided the warranty by unlocking it, then rooted it to install GooManager / TWRP and then flashed CM10.1.2 on here. I did a format, fresh data but i have to say its still not up to par. I did a side by side with my Galaxy S3 and its out performing the tablet (same ROM).
I saw a video for CleanROM and my jaw dropped. Being that im kindve new to the scene i truely dont want to hard brick something i just bought. I was getting discouraged by the CleanROM instructions a little.
My question is - Since i have already unlocked the bootloader (VIA the asus website), rooted the device and already have a custom rom do i just need to download the CleanROM zip and flash it? It says format so in that assumption i should have the CleanROM zip on a micro SD? Alsoshould i get ODEX or DEODEX? I read the difference between the two and im thinking DEODEX.
Thanks everyone!

I would recommend Cromi X Ver. - 4.7 which is more up to date version. Read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492
I use deodex. Sbdags uses odex as he mentioned in an earlier post. I will probably change in my next update. Use what the master recommends.

If you were already on the latest Asus ROM before moving to cm 10.2 then it should be fairly easy to switch to CROMi-X. You will need a full wipe though. I'm assuming you did that when going to 10.2 as well as that would cause all sorts of issues if you didn't do it.
What is about the instructions of CROMi-X that makes you nervous?

wow that super annoying. So i had this long typed out reply and it force closes on me as i open a tab to get a benchmark pic...
i was getting discouraged with the bootloader and what one i had, did a quick research and found out how to find the bootloader version and i was set to just flash. Wiped with TWRP and come to find out the .zip ROM had a nice install and that also gave an option to wipe which i did.
something just still aint right IMO. I keep getting major hiccups. Installing an app is a nightmare, takes forever and stalls the system. The whole thing with the system just force closing the browser just now was annoying... just opened a tab. I have 11 chrome tabs opened on my S3 and its handling it with out even blinking. I have 2 bench mark pics, one of my S3 (scored 4834) and the TF700T (5696). But this TF700T seems to get major hiccups and stalls. Not quite understanding what could be causing this. I have checked performance to be on, checked to see if there was some bloatware or un-needed apps that ran in the back ground (none), and installed adfree just incase type of thing.
Is this usuall? Or is there something i could try to make this perform like my S3 (basically no system hiccups and great processing speeds)?

I have checked performance to be on, checked to see if there was some bloatware or un-needed apps that ran in the back ground (none), and installed adfree just incase type of thing.
Is this usuall? Or is there something i could try to make this perform like my S3 (basically no system hiccups and great processing speeds)?

No - assuming you are on CROMi-X 4.7 - this is not usual.
But to be able to give advice, we need to know a lot more specifics.
To flash Cromi-X you should be on bootloader version 10.6.1.14.4 or .8
You should have TWRP 2.5 or 2.6
What did you wipe in TWRP? Coming from CM you have to do a Factory Reset in TWRP prior to flashing CROMi-X.
The Aroma installer only wipes Cache and Dalvik - that is not enough.
Do a factory reset and reflash Cromi-X.
If that does not work, format data (under Wipe > Advanced), but backup everything you care about since this will wipe all your data. Then reflash Cromi-X

Re-Wiped/flashed again right after my post. Seems to be acting more - professional. I use(d) advance wipe both times and checked everything but the sd card as well as using the wipe in the ROM installer. Couple things i did differently on this run of it though was used the stock kernal. Last time i used the first on the list by _that. Both times i didnt use fsync option. This run also i didnt enter the gmail account right away on the setup wizard. I figured i would let the system settle in before installing apps. What sucks with that though is through the wizard the tablet will auto load the apps but entering them in after wards it never auto loaded the apps, no biggy though... prevented a lot of unwanted apps.
How risky is disabling the fsync? This is going to be a tablet that mainly will be used for like web browsing in desktop mode and netflix/youtubing. Not saying apps wont be ran but more or less a glorified netbook. Since its going to be touched by multiple users (as well as ones under the age of 4) what kindve actions could happen for data to start being jacked up by disabling fsync? Im still kindve put off by how i feel like my phone is a bit snappier than this table. Im thinking though its because the S3 is set with 2 gigs of RAM and the TF700T is 1 gig?
Quadrant Standard test results:
Samsung Galaxy S3 CM-10.1.2: Total-4742, CPU-5631, Mem-11200, I/O-4197, 2D-501, 3D-2180
TF700T CROMi 4.7: Total-5403, CPU-14135, Mem-3749, I/O-6503, 2D-570, 3D-2059
But all in all - A LOT better than what the stock was, better than CM 10.1.2 on tf700t and better than the last attempt of CROMi.
Do you guys have a pref on kernal? Fysnc disabled? Launcher? Browser (been using dolphin cause i can force desktop websites better than stock and chrome doesnt even have the option to force at all times)?
Thanks
EDIT: Have 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader and TWRP 2.6

About the risk of Fsync, you can go to the Cromi X first post and read about it. _that explans the definition of Fsync by the end of the first post.
About the RAM, you are partially corrrect about it. The impotant thing about memory is how do you use it, not how much do have available. So you need to give your system a llittle more memory than the current setup in case your device needs it under a heavy load.
About your score, I believe that it is a little low for the custom rom and custom kernel. By looking at your score, you need to optimize your I/O and your memory in order to make it smooth and lag free.
About the kernel, it is a personal prefferences. I am using Hund at the moment and Fsync is disable. I am also using Apex and stock browser. I hope that helps..

thanks for the info
The only way to optimize I/O though is to disable fsync at this point or are there other options that can be done?

Disable Fsync is a big boost in speed if you don't want to do it. You can try these out.
-Go to your init.d
-Open the 50CleanTWEAKS file and play around with the "read ahead buffer" with the optimal number for your I/O. This will optimize your read speed.
-add these on your data mount: discard data=write infront of the "/data" line. This will optimize your write speed.
Also, if you OC your CPU, you will see the increase in you I/O number.
Good luck.
Hi,
Sorry for my english, I'm french
My ASUS TF700T is under build 10.6.1.14.8 Jelly Bean 4.2.1 WW, Kernel 3.1.10, Bootlaoder unlock + Root OK, and in the latest version of TWRP installed with GooManager (not 2.4 or 2.5).
Am I OK to install the CROMI X 4.7?
I need to flash the kernel also or not?
thank you

Yes, you are good to install the Cromi X 4.7. During the Cromi X installation, the rom will have a section for you to select a custom kernel. If you are a first time with custom rom and kernel, I suggest for you to use _that kernel without data2sd..
OK thank you LetMeKnow!
I will do as you told me
See you soon

Thanks for all the great info but i think this unit is shotty. I disabled fsync, have chromix on there but it just doesnt feel like the specs on paper meet in person. It still gets balled up at times and our phones (samsung galaxy nexus & s3) seem to be snappier and less glitchy. they only thing i havent tried is the last suggestion about entering into int.d just because that was something new that i couldnt find much info about. Currently its sitting in a box now with a return label... kindve disappointed... wondering if i should get an ipad (mini) or note 8

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly but I will try... I don't know anything about the note 8 because I never own one. However, I currently own both ipad2 and tf700. I believed that ipad mini is using A5 chip which is the on ipad2. I can tell you the different between the two. I did compare a side by side on these units. In short, over all with a custom rom and kernel I would pick the tf700 over ipad2. I would pick the ipad2 if you are using the stock rom on the tf700. My tf700 is running a lot faster comparing with the ipad2... I don't understand why there are so much differences even though we are using the same hardwares and softwares.. I hope that helps clearing up a little bit. It is just my two cents. About the init.d, if you are using the same rom as I am, I don't have any problem sharing what I have wiht you..

I can't seem to get this ROM to flash. The flash process fails quickly with a non-descript error message:
error executing update binary in zip

I'm using TWRP 2.8.1.0 and I tried flashing the latest nightly as well as the stable version. I verified the MD5 signature after copying the .zip to my SD card. I also did a full wipe with TWRP.
My phone is the i727R with Gingerbread 2.3.5. Do I need to update to the latest official 4.x firmware from Rogers before I try to flash with AOSPA?
Any other suggestions or hints? This is my first time trying to flash a custom ROM, so I'm probably doing something wrong.
Figured it out, didn't have the latest radio installed. Might want to add that to the instructions for noobs like me. It's easy to overlook because the note regarding the firmware is under the "contributors" heading, separate from the basic instructions.
camera doesn't work
Camera is not working for me, but everything else is fine. And pretty darn smooth!
Issue installing
I am attempting to install this using CWM and the installation of the ROM goes perfectly but then when I go to install the GApps, I keep getting the insufficient space error. I have tried Mini, Micro and Nano as well as reformatted the internal memory. Thoughts? Sorry for the ignorant post.

I'm not sure if CWM is compatible with the GApps. I recommend using TWRP instead.
But I have used CWM for GApps for all my ROMs so far and it hasn't been an issue. Why would this be different. My understanding is that it is just a space issue so I am wanting to know if there is a way to get this space issue resolved when even the smallest GApps was still too large (supposedly).

Trouble updating
I installed the 1/16/2015 version (PA 5.02) plus nano gapps. Most things seemed to work well, and I like the look and feel, but two or three times I have experienced periods where the battery drains even though connected to a charger. This morning, for example, the phone had been on the charger all night and was fully charged. Without disconnecting it from the charger, I checked my email and then put the phone back down. An hour or so later, the battery showed low 90's percent, even though it showed that it still was plugged in.
Yesterday I tried to update to the 2/2/2015 version. After making a backup with TWRP, I installed the 2/2 zip. I have flashed several ROMS, so I am not a complete noob, but I have never done a zip upgrade without factory reset. The upgrade seemed to succeed, but after booting, I had no gapps and my google accounts were missing. I then tried reflashing the same gapps and the systemUI fix. That got my apps back, more or less, but my google accounts still were missing and my home screen layouts all were lost. I then reverted to my pre-upgrade nandroid backup and tried again, by installing the 2/2 ROM upgrade zip, the gapps, and the systemUI fix all without rebooting in between. As before, after rebooting, my home screens were gone and (I think) my google accounts were gone. (By the way, I use the Google Launcher.)
Is upgrading from the 1/16 to 2/2 supposed to require reinstallation of gapps and adding back of accounts, home screen setups, etc? If it is then such an upgrade is almost as much hassle as a complete, clean install. Can someone tell me how this is supposed to work?
I installed the Lollipop rom (and the UI patch) and am still having "Can't connect to camera" issues. occasionally, rebooting the phone helps, but then if I do something like switch from the back camera to the front, it will stop working again.

There are issues with the gapps backup script, so the gapps package should be flashed with every ROM update. The loss of gapps most likely caused your accounts and home screen to be removed.

This should only happen when using the front facing camera. This will be fixed next update.
Bummer
Losing home screens and accounts every time an update is flashed is a bummer. Putting everything back (accounts, home screens, Power Toggles settings, ...) makes me hesitate to try an update very often.
You say the problem is with gapps. Does this same problem occur with all flavors of ROMs and all flavors of gapps? I ask because my previous experience with installing ROMs has been installation of new ROMs, not updates to one already installed.
Incorrect information in battery monitor - PA 5
I've been using (and generally liking) the PA 5 for several weeks. I have noted, however, that the breakdown of battery usage, as reported by the OS, seems inaccurate. As just one example, yesterday, I started a 15-minute call shortly after unplugging my phone from the charger, with a full battery. At the end of the call, I was down to about 90% battery. That seems reasonable to me, based on past experience. The battery monitor said almost all of my battery consumption was for Cell Standby, though, with only a little consumption assigned to actual phone use. I've seen some other examples where the usage breakdown did not seem right, although I did not document them and do not recall exact details.
Am I correct that this is incorrect behavior? Are others experiencing this (or does anyone pay attention to it), either on this ROM or on other ROMs?

Help choosing ROM and Recovery

Hi everyone.
I rooted my Note Pro 12.2 (wifi) a while back and installed a basic rooted ROM, not CW12.
I honestly don't remember which ROM I flashed. I believe it was just a stock de-bloated ROM, and if it's the one I think it is, in the thread it says that ROM was faulty and dev has stopped for it. I see the kernel version and build in the "about" section under settings but I'm not sure if that number would tell me which ROM it is, or just the ROM and kernal that it was built on top of.
I basically wanted a stock style ROM with the ability to change things as I wanted. I'm still noticing a TON of lag. Scrolling on pages, loading apps, screen lag between touch and actual input of characters when using on screen keyboard, etc etc. I've frozen a bunch of bloatware and other things and it helped a little, but it's still pretty bad.
Audio latency with recording and MIDI apps is very bad, but I know that's improved with lollipop.
Aside from lag, it seems that GPS won't lock on no matter how long Iet it look for a signal (hard to tell if it's the ROM, but my Note 4 has found GPS very easily). Also, my Note 4 (unrooted and stock at this point) is waaaaay smoother and faster than this tablet. I realize we're talking about lollipop vs kitkat, and that the Note 4 version I have is the snapdragon one. But it still seems like performance should be better on this tablet.
So I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good ROM for me to flash until lollipop comes out for the wifi version of this tablet. I want the stock multi-window functions (4 at a time plus floating windows), so CW12 is not an option. I want to use some of the Samsung apps like s note and Hancom office. I use the s-pen from time to time with the pen apps like write-on-screen.
The "rooted" features I want to access are turning off the camera sound (adding the switch to the settings menu in the camera app, not just replacing the sound file with a dummy file) Changing PPI of apps (xposed module) and full access read/write on micro SD cards and really important is the ability to add any app to the multi-window apps list and force orientation. I've been able to do all this with xposed modules.
Other than that, stock would be fine if it wasn't so laggy. The main reason I want to try another ROM is the lag. On screen keyboard has a lot of lag, but even my Logitech k810 bluetooth keyboard is laggy.
I'm also currently travelling and don't have a PC with me. So I'm hoping I can flash the ROM without ODIN, or perhaps I can use one of the ODIN-for-android type things on my Note 4 to flash a ROM to the Note Pro 12.2. Also I have the stock recovey, and would like suggestions on which recovery to use instead. Again, no computer with me to flash a new recovery. Ido have an OTG cable and USB flash drive so Ican back up my files before flashing the new ROM, as well as a miscro SD card.
Any recommendations for a smooth, fast ROM? Any tips on flashing it without a PC? I know I can copy the ZIP to the tablet and flash it from recovery...but it is the stock recovery...is this going to be sufficient?
THANKS!
The hyperdrive rom by sbreen (in the dev section) works great. Isnt there an internet cafe in the vicinity? Ask them for assistance flashing the beast. I love twrp. Good luck!
I tried to find an easy root apk thingy so you dont need a computer, couldnt find anything (but maybe kinguser or something like it will work)
Link to twrp with explanation
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynotepro122exynoswifi.html
Thanks! TWRP is I think what's on my Note II back home. My tablet is rooted already of course. For the Hyperdrive ROM, one thing I'm a little confused about is if I have to FIRST install a stock ROM and THEN flash the custom ROM. I'm a little confused about why exactly but I see that in the forums from time to time. It's recommended for certain ROMs. I don't know if flashing the stock ROM updates some other firmware/hardware driver type stuff that's needed for the new kernal to work or what.
There might be an internet cafe. I'm flying from Vienna to Lithuania today. Trying to explain to them that I want them to download and install ODIN might be tough knowing only English and Spanish haha.
Sorry for the noob question but is clicking the thumbs-up icon what generates "thanks" or do I do that somewhere else?

If its rooted you can install twrp without computer (see my link) use twrp manager fromthe play store for that
You only have to flash the custom rom
(Make sure you backup on an ext sd or something, then delete everything in twrp, install custom rom, restart and done) I also always backup the launcher settings, if you backup the apps with titanium restoring is very easy afterwards)
Lemme know if this works for you!

I'm already having trouble installing TWRP. I can't do it from the app, as my device isn't listed. I downloaded the zip file of the correct version of TWRP and tried to flash it using the stock recovery. But when I boot into recovery mode, it still just goes to the stock recovery. Then I downloaded and installed ROM manager from the play store and it shows TWRP as being installed, but whenever I boot into recovery I just get the stock recovery.
I'm back home now and I guess I'll just try to do all this with ODIN.
Is there any reason I can't just install the custom ROM using the stock recovery? That's what I did last time.
Ok So I got TWRP installed via ODIN then I used it to clean wipe and flash Hyperdrive ROM but gmail app won't even open, just crashes immediately, and it's one of the main apps I need so...probably gonna look for another ROM...or most likely gonna flash the stock ROM, unroot and sell the tablet and get a Dell Venue 11 Pro. Might wait till the end of July though, the supposed release date for lollipop on this device.
Had the same problem. Install hyperdrive without the gmail app option. Afterwards install itmvia the play store.
And if you want lollipop give cyanogen a try. I love it (but its a personal thing).
Ad make sure to read the Venue reviews, they are not very positive.

I wanted to try lollipop because I use it for music, and latency is much better with lollipop. My Note 4 is running lollipop and I get way better performance from MIDI keyboards and guitar amp modelling. I really like the multi window functions on the stock and hyperdrive ROMs though, 4 at once, floating, etc. I'm sure as soon as lollipop is officially out for this device, someone will release a rooted version.
Thanks for the tip on gmail, fortunately I read it before getting too deep and just reflashed without gmail it and then installed the gmail app as you suggested and it does work. There still seems to be a bit of delay when using the on screen keyboard, not as fast as I had hoped. But it's up and running.
I was considering the Dell after trying a bunch of different audio and video editing apps for android and realizing that I just need full photoshop, premiere, and Reaper with all my VST plugins, so I need windows. Perhaps Surface Pro is a better choice but I like the Venue's chassis better, fanless, rounded corners. Also new tablets might be coming out with Windows 10 so another reason to wait...
My laptop is great but it's really big and I like a touch interface for on screen mixers and instruments. So I figured a tablet PC might work best for me. But the problem is GUI scaling. with the Windows legacy apps like Premiere and Photoshop, the buttons and menus don't scale, and on an 11" 1080 display they are quite small.
Just wait for win 10 and while waiting fine tune your 12" beast did you try system tuner pro already? You should be able to get less latency from that.
(And did someone mention "buy a Mac" already?
I am surprised, because after testing dozen ROMs I found stock ROM fastest one. Just root and debloat it.
Not so any lag or problems, but with custom ROMS I had a lot of problems.

Indeed, cyanogen requires a lot of tuning (but its what I like about Android, I am more tinkering with it than actually using it I believe

I checked out system tuner pro (didn't buy it yet just read the description) What exactly would I adjust to get lower audio latency? Just clock the CPU higher? OR does it have audio-specific settings not mentioned in the description?

Looks like Samsung official lollipop (I read that it has way better latency) is finally coming to your tablet.

WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!!? I've been checking sammobile EVERY day for the lost couple weeks waiting for this! OMG OMG I'm hoping I'll be able to use the Samsung Audio stuff with this, their DAW and amplitube and all that...plus I'll get Hancom office back...Thanks for the heads-up. I'm glad I've been using CM12.1 though So I can compare the experience.
Looking forward to the rooted version of stock lollipop making its way to xda as well! Now... to figure out the best way to back up my current installation...
