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).
Hey all, I've recently been running into a problem where when my tablet restarts it starts updating the firmware to my camera and then will tell me there's another update for the camera's firmware once I'm at the home screen, and it happens on every restart. Normally I wouldn't mind this inconvenience but I've been wanting to use hunds oc kernel and my tablet isn't able to boot/upgrade the camera firmware unless I'm using the stock kernel.
For what it's worth I'm on the most updated version of jb, 2.5 twrp, unlocked, rooted, running cromi 4.6.1, and on camera version tf300t-000128. If anybody could provide any assistance it'd be greatly appreciated, I've already tried a factory reset.
Also, if it'd be easier, I have titanium backup pro and I wasn't sure if there was just something I could freeze that would stop the firmware updates from happening
Bump, anybody?
Well the firmware is included in the latest rom from Asus so you should accept it. It is normally a one off thing. Not sure why you are getting two?
If you look in the zip for the rom inside, system you will see a firmware folder. Delete it then trying flashing CROMi-X again.

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)?

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..
Hi all,
I've installed Chromi-X (stable) on my TF700t, and still see a lot of lagging. I didn't install a kernel with it. (does Chromi-X have it's own kernel?)
Anyway, I've seen some good comments on Karsh (sp?) kernel, but can't find it. Also, I didn't wipe! Maybe that's the problem?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Yikes you mean you installed it for the first time and chose do not flash a kernel. In escence you may as well have just flashed stock..... First time flashers need to choose a kernel other wise you have restricted root, not init.d script support and a very laggy device. Flash it again and choose thatv5
I never considered that someone would choose no kernel on the first flash from coming from stock....
My bad.., thanks.

Somewhere I'd read that some roms have embedded kernels. Don't remember the script I used mentioning any either, not that it make any diff...just my inexperience.
How do I find "thatv5? Is it a separate download or part of something else?

Also you are on an outdated version of CROMI-X and I bet your recovery is not the latest either.
Since you are at it anyway: Why not start with flashing the bootloader/TWRP package from the OP, boot back into system, then back into recovery, then flash CROMi-X 5.0.4.
You will see many options to choose from, one page being the kernel options. If in doubt stick with the default option.
I kind of pity the folks who have not followed this thread for the last few months. It would take me a week to understand all the options we have now.... ET, cache2sd, data2sd, what is it: 5 different kernels?, fsync - to name just the major choices...
You don't HAVE to wipe data, but I would do it before a major update. Or try without and do it if the tab behaves strangely or still has lag.
A Factory Reset in TWRP should do it. This will wipe /data, but not /data/media and that's where your pictures, files, videos etc live (naturally you have a backup of that data anyway, right?). You will have to reinstall your apps though.

A Factory Reset in TWRP should do it. This will wipe /data, but not /data/media and that's where your pictures, files, videos etc live (naturally you have a backup of that data anyway, right?). You will have to reinstall your apps though.

Thanks for the direction...I'm now on 5.0.4 and looking at all the features. Wow!
Can't thank you enough!

Yikes you mean you installed it for the first time and chose do not flash a kernel. In escence you may as well have just flashed stock..... First time flashers need to choose a kernel other wise you have restricted root, not init.d script support and a very laggy device. Flash it again and choose thatv5
I never considered that someone would choose no kernel on the first flash from coming from stock....

Choosing OC Options on _that v5
Speaking of Kernels...on _thats v5 OC options, I found a happy medium between speed, stability and battery was the "1318" option. The (1518) seemed to create a small but noticeable battery drain on "Balanced" mode. With 1.3GHz it still keeps it running very smooth but you still have the 1.8GHz on Performance.
(Sidenote: After reading this post I have to say to the both of you; sbdags being the Master CustomROM King you are so patient with us newer folks which is above and beyond for starters and berndblb; you are Everywhere Man! giving straight forward advice and filling in the gaps here and there, even answering one of my posts in Q&A which gave me a new sense of what I wanted)
Someone just wrote on the Development OP that following it should translate into some kind of a college degree, I agree and I highly recommend that you use it while checking out all the new options.
Happy Tweaking

I flashed kernel tweaks "TF700T : _that 10.6.1.14.8" but forgot to do # "4. Wipe caches (cache/dalvik cache)" before rebooting.
Should I go back into recovery and do a wipe, everything seems to be running OK?
I am on Cromi-X 5.0.4 using _that kernel.
Also didn't have to do # "5. Fix permissions"

I've yet to see an explanation what wiping cache would be good for on the TF700 - I think it's totally useless (until someone comes up with a plausible explanation).
Wiping dalvik-cache is recommended but not required when the Android framework changes or when system apps are removed (usually both due to installation of a new ROM). If you only install a new kernel, it's pointless and only wastes time.
Hello All,
I've had my TF101 Transformer running Roaches Excellent PRIME ROM (latest version 2.1.1) forever. No problems, works great.
That being said, when the KitKat ROM arrives I am thinking about updating to speed up the UI.
I've currently got an unlocked bootloader and root with CWM 3.2.0.1 running fine.
What would I need to do to update this such a huge amount?
It looks like I should have TWRP 2.6.x installed before anything else. Is that true?
Can someone outline the process briefly so I am on the right track?
Also, if KitKat won't really have any effect on overall speed and stability, will another ROM (JB,ICS, etc.) be better?
I rely on this device in the field, so like to have stability over "bells & whistles."
Mostly I use terminal/telnet and basic browser tools. I do like the occasional 1st person shooter.
What's your opinion?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich
Frederuco has a great guide HERE - it does refer to the 4.3 KissKat Rom but will also be applicable to the new KissKat KitKat (KKKK) Rom - and further info is on the KKKK Rom's thread HERE
OK...great info about Katkiss and the upgrade path. Though none of it covers CWM to TWRP upgrade/changes nor the ancient to the new!
How do I SAFELY change from CWM to TWRP with the current ROM then go to something new and stable without causing huge issues?

Firstly use CWM to make a Nandroid backup so you will have a fallback.
Edit - Use TB to backup your apps too !!!
Put the latest TWRP on your sd card and flash it using CWM. Thus your recovery will now be TWRP.
What happens is TWRP replaces CWM and the KKKK Rom replaces your old ROM. By the way you DO need to use TWRP with the KKKK Rom as CWM will present problems.
Cool,
Just finished the CWM backup and the TB app+data to the SDCARD. Leave me about 8gig.
I am a bit concerned that I have seen posts saying that honeycomb is NOT compatible with the latest TWRP....
Is it?

I recently restored my TF to Stock and did a complete reinstall. The first thing I did was to install TWRP and update it to the lateset Version from the development forum, so there should be no Problems. Everything went well for me and I am enjoying KatKiss KitKat now.
If you want to be complete save copy your backups on an microsd.
Hmmmm... I got TWRP installed. Got Katkiss running. Did a Titanium restore of individuals + date. Rebooted, now I am stuck at the Katkiss color sphere logo for two hours...I have around 240 apps...how long SHOULD it take?

That sounds wrong, TB only activates after full boot.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
OK... all good now! It was the android media process. Fixed.
Any idea how I can get the top bar menu/clock/battery etc to mimic the old PRIME by Roach theme. I.e at the bottom right, I don;t like losing any screen real estate at the top at all.
Also, anyplace to download the Asus live tree wallpaper? I liked that one.
Thanks everyone!

If you are using KatKiss 4.4.2 you can not at the moment as timduru has not implemented the TabletUI yet. Not sure if he plans to do so but I sure hope he does.
If you installed KatKiss 4.3.1 there should be a user interface point in your settings and you can select TabletUI as Interface Mode.
Yup, that's what I figured. It was TabletUI related.
I saw that the KatKiss 4.4.2 was at a stable release and figured it would be a better bet.
Works great! Just want the older UI.....Maybe he'll add it in.
Thanks!

Google has dropped the TabletUI in 4.4. There is talk on the developer's thread about Tim looking into restoring it but I doubt that it is a priority.
You know, if I could simply move all the Icons and Status from the top right to the bottom right, I'd be happy.
