What next for my TF700?



Hi all!

I managed (with much help from the folks here at XDA) to unlock and root my tablet almost as soon as I bought it (used on eBay,).

I started with Cromi-X , then Combi Xenogenesis followed by Crombi-KK.

There I stayed for many months. About a month ago my tablet became increasingly unusable. I had ANRs galore, spontaneous reboots, extreme lag and just plain freeze-ups.

I searched around and it seemed that KatKiss 5.1.1_30 was the latest available ROM that wasn't in release candidate status.

I installed it (via TWRP 2.8.4.0) after a full wipe and reformatting /Data to F2FS.

I've been running this way for a week and I'm very happy so far.

My goal is to have the fastest smoothest tablet I can have consistent with stability.

I don't care about having the latest greatest version of Android. I don't theme or really modify the looks of my tablet.

I am wondering if it is worth pursuing several additional changes:

Would ROM2SD and/or Data2SD really make a noticeable difference?
How fast would my SD Card have to be to make the attempt worthwhile?

Is there any particular reason for me to upgrade to the latest TWRP?

Is KatKiss 6.0 better, smoother, faster or more stable than what I'm running now?

I'd really appreciate any guidance folks would care to offer. Links to appropriate threads are of course welcome.

I've already found threads on how to do the things I'm thinking about but not so much on whether it's worth the effort.

adTHANKSvance!!

Unlocked and Rooted TF700 Gaming Lag



I have been working non stop to fix my tf700's out-of-the-box sluggishness which, as most of you know, was basically unusable. I have tried every ROM out there and recently found what I thought to be perfection in KatshMallow (KatKiss for 6.0 by developer TimDuru), that is until I started running my high-graphics/animations games... i.e. Order and Chaos 2. Even 8 Ball Pool is laggy. It didn't use to be with other ROMS, but those ROMS had so many other issues for me that I had to keep trying others. OC2 is so slow that my character can barely move, no matter what game display settings I choose. Now, Pokemon GO only works until I click 'okay' to confirm that I will pay attention to my surroundings (before you are able to play the game). When I do that, the app just closes out. Every time :( As it exits to the home screen, I see that my RAM usage is suddenly through the roof, leading me to believe that I have simply run out of the RAM required to play that game. I've tried everything. Uninstalling apps, freezing apps, optimizing kernel, startup, etc. settings, restarts, cold boots, Dalvik wipes, factory resets... I've gone nuts here thinking my tablet is as optimized as it can even be. But I am no expert, and only know what forums have taught me through continuous Google-age. So what I'd really like to know is, what am I missing? What have I not optimized or changed that could be causing this? I'm sorry if this posting is misplaced, I've never actually posted in these forums before. I'm just desperate.

Thank you SO much in advance for any help you guys can send my way!
