[Q] 4.3 Kernel w/ Data2SD support? - Asus Transformer TF700

Title kind of says it all, I have heard of folks in a few posts for 4.3 based roms mention just running a kernel with Data2SD built in. Bryce's kernel is the only 4.3 kernel i have found and it does not appear to have data2sd included....
4.3 runs pretty well without it but it would be nice to have.

That's kernel version 6 kind of supports 4.3 and has preinit support built in which means with a small script you can set the mount points for data2sd before android boots.
Pop over to his thread for info.

Thanks for the reply, as far as I know that will not work on 4.3: From that thread:

No this kernel is only for stock based roms, it will not work on CM 10.2 (currently there's no custom kernel for CM10.2).

I used it on CM10.2 as did that. The new version is 4.3 compatible as it says in the changelog. Although he didin't put it in the first post it is near the end of the thread. You also need to inject his modules into CM.
If you pop over to his dual boot thread he shows you how to do this as well

Awesome thanks for posting again! I will give this a try right away! I'd seriously contemplating going down the path of compiling my own....but would rather not

Working 3G kernel for TF300TG

Hi,
I just want to publish JB stock kernel for TF300TG with modem part writen by myself from zero.
I'm usind this kernel for a while and have no problems with 3G hangs, network lost stuff, etc.
ACM (AT control channel), POWER CONTROL and RAW IP NETWORK writen from zero.
Other code (RIL part and BASEBAND CHR for FW update) was not changed (bugfix only).
Installer can be found^
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/90185166/TF300TG-andrewz1-v3.zip
This is a plain stock kernel!
I hope when you share source code, developers will better support model t300tg. And I hope in the future to see a little overclocked version of the kernel. : P
Thanks again andrew_z1 for support kernel. Kernel version v3 is very stable.
Thank you for sharing. Hope this gets a working kernel for CM / AOSP based Roms as well.
Working flawlessy. It is a breathe, to find a person who supports 3g version of a tablet.
Maybe you could collaborate with other developers to widen support of TF300TG model.
Thanks a lot.

I have the tf300tl LTE and im stuck with the stock kernel and the poor I/O performance
Is it possible to implement the 3G changes you announced in Untermensch kernel for example,
my dream is to have a kernel with good I/O performance and working 3g!!
thanks!
Can you please share the source code for this? With no great devs around to do stuff for the TG, it's left to each one of us to dabble a bit and see what we can do
Thanks

Million thanks for this kernel :good:. I installed it with CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.4 on my TF300L. It works really fine with 3G. I'm not convinced about LTE, but unfortunately I do not have an LTE subscription yet. According to SpeedTest it works fine at around 10Mbps, which is the bandwidth I pay for currently.
Do you think you can make OC available in this kernel?

Recommended ROM and Kernel?

Sorry for making a thread as such but i know little about the development on the TF300 and would appreciate if people could mention what kernel and ROM they recommend for good overall daily use (fast but stable).
Also, it'd be helpful if useful things for the TF300 such as browser2ram were mentioned. If they are already mentioned in a thread, i apologise but i haven't seen it.
Thanks

CleanROM, the Newest Version. Now it's 3.0.4
It's very fast & stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049322
Thanks for the answer. I think i will go with that ROM when i decide to root and install a custom ROM.
Is a kernel recommended in the cleanrom thread?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Yes, You can install kernel installer 1.2 from CleanROM thread, but I'd rather Asus Stock Kernel. Other kernels are for Infinity. That kernels will work on our TF300T, but only in 95%. You will have problems for example with front camera. This ROM is enough fast with Asus stock kernel. In today upgrade to 3.1, CleanROM can redduce Lags in games.
Thank you. Are there no other stable kernels other than stock?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
In kernel installer you can choose Unter's kernel. CleanROM developer reccomended Asus stock kernel. CleanROM based on Stock. Maybe you can install kernel which is made for stock on CleanROM, but I'm not sure. You'd better ask in CleanROM thread.
Thanks, can you overclock on stock kernel?

No, I can't. I tried do this by SetCPU.

So is cleanrom smooth without even overclocking?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Yes, It's. For example NFS Most Wanted 2 doesn't have any lags.
CleanROM 3.1 with stock rom works like a charm...
if you want to overclock you can install the TF300T.zip from Untermensch..is is overclocked to 1600Mhz...the stock ROM runs at 1200Mhz I believe. Overclocked kernels drain your battery faster though.
I have used the TF300T.zip Untermensch kernel, but went back to stock (CleanROM 3.1) , cause it is fast enough.
I think I might as well stick with stock then since currently, I don't even know how to flash a kernel on the TF300. Thanks for everyone's help!
I just rooted and installed CleanROM and can attest to the fact that my tablet is quite a bit smoother with it. I haven't had a single instance of lag since switching to it, but I'm still testing it out.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I'm using Cleanrom with the kernel from The Ultra Fast Rom - JB Overclock Edition V03 ! by Surdu_Petru.. I'd installed The Ultra Fast Rom first then Cleanrom. This allows the tablet to be overclocked to 1.7 though I have kept it at 1.6 using No Frills CPU ...
Thanks for the replies. It must be said, my TF300, after getting rid of every app etc. On it (bar alarm clock extreme) is, dare I say it, smooth! Well, it's much smoother than it was although things aren't perfect.

CleanROM 4.2.1 vs CleanROM 4.1.1

I'm on the last updated CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6) using unters kernel and EVERYTHING just works flawlessly and smooth. I like to always flash the newest thing out and been debating about 4.2.1? Anyone else debating like me? I see there's really no alternative kernel support on the new CleanROM 4.0 but how does it overall compare to the latest update on CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6)? Battery life? Speed? Functionality?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I'm still on the older bootloader too and running CROMI v3.3. I like to keep up to date on the newest software too but I've decided to hold off until they at least get an oc kernel and release a newer version of TWRP.
I'm very happy with v3.3. It runs flawlessly for me. I guess I'll just stick with it for the time being.

FAQs
Q:I know that CM10.1 use the Phone UI by default but it's still possible to switch to the Tabled UI?
No.And don't whine to the developer about it (do it with Google ) this won't change.
Q: I want to go back to a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 rom,do i have to downgrade the bootloader?
No,the 4.2.1 bootloader is backwards compatible but it's not recommended to use a 4.1 bootloader with a 4.2.1 rom.
Q: I can't find the Developer Option anymore,it's gone?
It's not gone,just go in Settings --> About Tablet --> Press 7 times on Build Number...done
Q: I can't find the advanced power options anymore (reboot to recovery,bootloader,etc).
You can enable all those options in Settings --> Developer Option --> Advanced Reboot
Q: I enabled all the options in the Power Menu but i still don't have the Advanced Power Menu ( i.e. Reboot to recovery) when pressing the Power button.
Unlock your screen before pressing the Power button,the advanced Power Menu is always disabled from the Lockscreen.
Q:I would like to use the build-in CM Update feature but i'm not using the CWM recovery,can i use TWRP instead?
Yes,TWRP will work just fine.

It seem that Asus did some changes to the CFQ scheduler on the 4.2.1 kernel (don't ask me about tech details) and improved it a bit.But no matter wich scheduler is set by default you are still free to choose the one that suite you best and set it on boot.
Any recommendations on disabling HW overlays, or forcing GPU rendering?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD
Nevermind on the HW overlays. I've been playing with the I/O settings, and Quadrant seems to like ROW more than CFQ for some reason. I'll run it in the meantime.
Coming from a clean install, you can absolutely notice the kernel performance improvements. I'm a happy camper!

I can find the SPYD/3.1 in the list, but can't se the option to enable the data compression proxy. Maybe I have to change the language to English to find it, lol.
Nevertheless the latest nightly is a huge improvement over the previous ones! Good job!
One question though, is it possible to disable fsync in the "stock" CM10.1 kernel? At least for me the disabled fsync on stock ROMs made the tf700 fly.

You can't disable Fsync with the default CM10.1 kernel,you will need a custom kernel .As for the Data2SD I'm sure that someone will implement it soon and I will update the OP with all the infos and links.

I was looking through source today, CFQ didn't seem to change, but there were many changes on the board-cardhu*.c files, including memory locations, etc. This is what is probably allowing CFQ to work more efficiently than in previous iterations of the kernel.
So to install this from CROMI I need to do a full wipe then put this and the correct GAPS then install via TWRP?

[Q] cromi-x and cm11

Hi,
I've been using cromi-x rom for several months (v5.2.3 with kernel thatv7 and fsync off) and it run really fine. I even don't consider to install data2sd or rom2sd as performance already meets my needs due to fsync off.
But i'm a curious man and i'm interested in testing another rom : cm11. But i have few questions about that (i did not find answers in existing threads) :
- does cm11 correct the tf700 i/o issue (with sync off for example) and will i get as good performance than on cromi-x ?
- i have TWRP installed but CM requires CWR. Which one is compatible with both roms (so that i can easily switch back from one rom?to the other) ?
Thanks

I doubt it since essentially it is hardware related (cheap memory) and I doubt that the CM team found a better way to mitigate it than sbdags.

TWRP 2.6.3.2 also works with CM11. It also seems to work fine with CROMi-X.
sbdgas just modded the rom2sd2 script to run CM11 as rom2sd with _thatv7 on internal. Somebody else tried the same scenario with Hund's kernel - both ran like syrup it seems....
But give it a shot running CM11 on internal with TWRP 2.6.3.2! That's what nandroids are for
And let us know how it went!

As far as I understand, the solution was to put fsync to off. Maybe CM has also implemented that solution, but I don't find any information about that on CM thread / website.

Yep you're right, I see that there is a thread explaning that, I will read it and try to apply it. I'll give news about my testing but that will take a few days probably as i'm very busy at the moment at home.
I've read the dual-boot internal+external rom thread and it needs a linux machine which i don't have. Could i do that gparted configuration with a live-linux CD ?
And about performance, does the option "fsync off" exist in CM11 ? If not then i don't expect good performance/no-lag like on CROMI-X and i would be then not interested to test CM.

Sure! I recommend the one from sysresccd.org (should be in every household), but you can also use the GParted live CD or any other that includes gparted.

As long as the kernel supports "fsync off", it will also work in CM.

Thanks for your answer, i'll try it when i have time (late at night when child and wife are sleeping )
Not all kernels that support f sync off support cm11, the only cm11 kernel besides the stock cyanogen mod one is bryce09's and that still has bugs. CM 11 with the build.prop tweaks, clean master, lagfix, and crossbreeder give performance better then CROMI-X with no overclock.
