Slow and not so responsive - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Currently running on omni ROM with closed framework.
My pad is over clocked to 1500MHz, yet this tablet is slow to respond and laggy at best.
Is this something to expect from this kind of tablet or is there a solution for it?
Thanks.

KatKiss ROM #23

I tried that ROM. The tablet behaves the same...

Runs super fast for everyone else, something other than the ROM is the problem

Feast and smooth like you see on the latest tablets? (Android or iOS). There is a delay when the keyboard opens, a delay when the screen rotates and when apps are loading

You just got this tablet or something?
No not as fast as the latest tablets, this is a 3~ year old tablet

Not sure but try some of the 4.3.1 ROMs - I've seen some people write that those actually run better.

CM10.1 or CROMI 3.2?

What is everyone doing? I ran CleanROM for a long time but I'm curious what everyone else thinks?

This should've been posted in the Q&A section. That being said, I've been using CROMI for a very long time. Haven't tried CM10.1 yet.

CM10.1 hands down. (make sure to post non-development related posts in General/QA next time )

I was running cm10.1 and now running cleanrom 3.1 and just now updating to 3.2 I prefer cleanrom over cm10.1 at least on this device, I an running cm10.1 on my galaxy note 1 and 2 and on my galaxy tab 7.7 I think it really depends on the device and what else is available my 3 nexus 7's are all running paranoid android latest pie beta and that is also great

I switch between the two alot and I do prefer CM10.1 but I can't get my external harddrive or flashdrive to mount through the dock, I've tried three or four different file managers but none seemed to work, only the Stock ASUS one, which won't work in CM10.1 (at least I couldn't get it to) If anyone knows how to do this please let me know...
I ran CM10.1 was the first custom rom I loaded on my Infinity. It still had problems with lag on the browser and opening apps. Plus CM10.1 didn't have the cool Asus toggles and Asus apps loaded. So I tried CleanRom when it was 2.1. Man what a big difference in performance and touch response.
The original developer of Cleanrom left and a new developer now taken over and still making big improvements. If it wasn't for CleanRom this tablet wouldve been doomed with all of Asus critical flaws. The hardware is nice but the I/O problem and shaky firmware caused a mediocre experience which is unacceptable for a high end tablet. I don't think I can go try another ROM unless CROMI stops development. I was really amazed what CROMI has done to this tablet.
I am partial to CROMI myself. It runs super smooth, and sbdags is continuously making improvements.

CROMI -- I did actually try out CM10 in the earlier versions (which I'm sure do not even hold a candle to the more recent ones), but I did not like on this particular device (I have a few others that run/ran CM to great satisfaction). I like the keyboard toggles (available in the more recent M versions, I know), and the external storage functions must work impeccably for me to even seriously consider to try out CM10 at the moment...
I've donated to all three projects (CM, CleanROm and CROMI) and I do hope that CM10 is succesful and popular -- no hard feelings here.

Is overclocking worth it?

Ok so I'm a bit new to the community in terms of tablet hardware and wanted to understand the concept of overclocking now from what I've heard the Asus tf300t has the capability to be increased to 1.5ghz it's stock is 1.3 I believe so my question is:
what are the basic benefits of overclocking.
How do you go about doing it? (app, or what not)
What damages can be done if done incorrectly. (boot loop or brick)
If this isn't the right place to post this direct me to someplace better please! Thank you!

You'll need to flash another Kernal. There are various guides on this forum depending on what firmware you're on
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Benefit is basically making your tablet faster and smother under heavy tasks such as gaming. Light tasks wont be affected much.
In order to over clock, you need custom kernel and a software that allows you to over clock or under clock. My favorite is set CPU which is paid ( there are tons of CPU app)
If you over clock too much, tablet will become very unstable and also CPU can overheat much easier which can lead to hardware failure. I recommend you to overclock up to 1.6 max if you ever gonna over clock.

bottom line yes. its a night and day difference on this device. at least mine.

I second this when playing games. I do also see a very slight difference in normal day to day use. Just dont overvolt, that i heard is bad for the chip and greatly shortens the length of the chip. Overclocking isnt as bad for it.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
Ah ok so you do need a custom kernel/rom in order to gain access to overclocking. Well I've had problems before with flashing custom roms(soft bricked) and I'm kinda hesitant about it but I mean I've ran emulation on 1.3ghz and it runs smooth like for epsxe. I guess it's a matter of preference really?

I think that it is worth to unlock if you use a 1tb hard disk. It is more useful to overlock GPU as it will boost your perfomance in UI and games.

Overclock improved my tablet experience
When I was running cleanrom 3.4.1 and Unters TF300T 10.4.4.25 Kernel I had it O/C'ed to 1.6.
The ui and games like beach buggy blitz , dead trigger ran noticeably smoother .
Now I'm bac on stock android 4.2.1 from Asus website its nowhere near as smooth probably not even as smooth as stock 4.1.2 imo.
ya im on cm10.1 at the moment. over clocked to 1.6ghz currently. i find whether it was clean rom 3.4.4 or cm10.1 1.6ghz seems to be my tablets sweet spot. with my tablet and dock together on cm10.1 i have lasted like 4 days unplugged laying around with daily use for alittle bit. grand theft auto final fantasy dead trigger. all play so smooth.
Tergrak over clock let's you over clock any ROM, you don't need a custom ROM or kernel just root. Its on the play store.

+1 for overclocking. You can run the tablet at the lower speeds to save the battery when just messing around but you have the option to turn it up when needed. I overclock every device I own if possible. :good:

Help choosing ROM

OK, my problem is I can't decide what ROM is best for me, And I'd rather not spend time trying them all out when I have all you beautiful people who can give me their input. The two ROMs I've used are cm10 and liquid smooth. The issue is though cm10 hasn't had any real bugs for me yet, it isn't as fast or smooth as liquid smooth is. But liquid smooth although faster, seemed to be a bit more buggy. So I'm looking for a ROM that's stabile and not too buggy' but is also smooth and fast. I don't need a ton of customization but a small to decent amount would be nice and a few nice features wouldn't hurt but neither of those are necessary. . What ROMs would you guys suggest for me and if possible why. Thanks ahead of time.

I suggest Cromi. Plain and simple. It has its small bugs of course, considering it is based upon stock. However, the support for it is fantastic and it comes with many options. I am looking forward to 4.2.1. The tf300 got the option to switch between layouts of 4.1 and 4.2 and I think that is great of ASUS to come out with, and when ASUS released 4.2.1 for the TF700, I am sure sbdags will keep that implemented. With 4.2.1 I am sure will come some more smoothness and stability. CM is smooth, but does not seem as fast as Cromi. It also depends on the launcher and settings you have.
Good Luck on your choice.

I've been researching around the forums and it seems like clean ROM is good' but which is the best, I saw two, ace and inheritance

There is no "best" per say. Each has its ups and downs. I however prefer Cromi over other because it is stocked based and it still has the 4.1.1 tablet UI. Also, since Cromi has the most users, feedback and stability will be best. It is a matter of your choice in the end. Just try it out, you can always nandroid backup your current and try out others.
However, 3.4.5 just came out and I would wait. I personally am experiencing problems ATM and trying to figure it out. Problem currently (March 21 2013) seems to revolve around the new Cromi Boot Logo. So when in options just choose the Stock or Nexus 7 Boot logo instead.
Tylor
Thanks for the help, I'll try both, see which I like more. Finally be able to settle down and not keep switching between ROMs like I have.

What is the absolute smoothest fastest rom available for the xoom?

I ask this because my xoom is gathering dust in my cupboard and I have no use for it now that I have an HTC One, I am used the the responsiveness and 'fastness' of the phone and that was one of the reasons I stopped using the xoom; the lag
Every rom I used be it EOS or CM10.1 always lagged even when the xoom was overclocked.
If I can find a nice smooth rom I might start using the xoom again :victory: :victory:

Interested too. Eos 4 was slow.

I'm willing to downgrade to whatever version of android necessary to regain speed and reliability. What would that be?

I find CM 10.1 to be very stable and smooth for me. Very rarely do I have slowdowns. I also OC'ed the CPU. Try loading Elemental's kernel if you load CM 10.1. It did not work well for me, but those that it does work for say it makes the ROM much better.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
From my experience the smoothest is CM10 (Cyanogenmod 4.1.2) : the smoothest and the faster I tried.
I only found 1 problem with this ROM : the default Android webbrowser crashes sometimes.
For now, I don't want any other android release on my Xoom as my priority is smoothness ...
As Kitkat should be even smoother, I hope to see this release on the Xoom, but I don't dream a lot !
Ok, thanks for the help guys. I'll check out CM10

Anyone still using/buying an Asus tf300

Just wondering if anyone is still using their tf300 and how good is it running, because I just bought one and really wanted the keyboard that can attach to the tablet, which only the transformers seem to do that (which I also bought). I was going to get a tf700 but I dont think they should be making a 1080p screen with 1gb of ram and a tegra 3, tegra 4 and 1080p would be a much better match IMO. I'm excited to get my tf300 in the next week or so.

Yes I love mine on CMB 4.4.2, but i also have a 700, and I think your kind of right, and kinda of wrong.. For video and streaming which is a lot of what I do with mine...it blows the 300 out of the water.. There are very few games out there the for it that it cant run at least at 30 FPS....But they are both very good tablet with unlocked bootloader and custom roms... The stock stuff is bloated and overwhelms the hardware after not that much usage...
I think you will be very happy with your purchase... If you every have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line....As always thx lj
Thanks, and I heard that streaming was bad on the tf700, but I guess it differed from person to person and device to device, heck my tegra 2 Acer a500 felt smoother than my nexus 7 tegra 3 that I recently sold, so I hope its good

I just bought it and the first day I saw lag... and within a day things are crashing. I choose the 4.2 setup. is it just unusable or could it work well after a root (I am a noob)?

Not sure, what "the 4.2 setup" means to you, but are you running stock Asus ROM?
Try one of the KitKat ROMs, they are running very smooth!

Yeah the stock ROM isn't that stable or good. Get a custom ROM: CROMi-x or something KitKat flavored.
thanks
Thanks everybody.
By 4.2 I was referring to an in asus stock option.
I'd love as stock Kit Kat as possible. Does stock android support the keyboard battery combo? Anybody have any good links?
The only rooting I've done was my GS3 using motochopper but left everything stock just needed hotspotting. So if there is a rooting boot camp please share.
So my tf300 is coming tomorrow! What are the benefits of the different roms, jb or kitkat?

In short: JB is older, more mature, most bugs ironed out. KK is cutting edge, running noticeably smoother, but you might run into one or another bug.

got mine running cromix (jellybean), sbdags has got this stock based rom running like a dream, lots of tweaks and customization's.
dual booting with xubuntu-13.04 - a little buggy but works pretty good ( i'm pretty noobish with linux anyways ) boots faster than android.
good luck with your tab and remember to read read and reread the dev threads (make sure you know what your doing before making any changes to your tab). also look into nvflash before you do anything.
It finally got here, and has a light scratch on the screen and on the back... Oh well hope it runs good
