I'd suggest you abandon this thread and base one in the Dev forum where the "iron fist" rules can apply.
IMO, this unmoderated sub-forum is going to have your thread go to hell ...
Heavily gesture based ICS!

I agree but the same iron fist would keep this out of the dev section because there is no development happening.
If the mods feel like it should be in the dev then someone please move it

Are you doing a pre or post ICS? For me, I will wait for ics to come out before rooting. Then ill play with ICS heavily before adding a ROM.
-Over clocking all 4 cores to 2ghz a piece, if possible. For some serious horse power to compete with newer tablets coming down the road. Of course needs to be stable or doesn't overheat n melt the device..lol
-some sort of uploader for native browser or even compatible with 3rd party browser. For ex. Safari on my iPad couldn't upload or download on stock setup. With jailbreak n Cydia, I have safari downloader, which enables download manager in native browser, and safari uploader. Which allows me to upload something thru the browser by accessing device files. Ex. I go to a site I need to upload resume. I just click on upload link on page, then it accesses my files. Then I search for resume, click on it , and proceed to upload.
-Some sort of futuristic theming around Transformer prime, movie or whatever. Completely changes the look up to a more high tech device.
-optimize and increase camera/video quality even more, if possible. I know it's already good, but could be a way to raise MP rating through software adjustments.
-an app like g power, available from Cydia for JB iPad. I double tap the top of screen(through activator) and it brings up quick menu to power down, reboot, or respring(if that applies to android). Or maybe just subtle gestures to access important features of device or apps.
-make skype and any other video chat apps that don't work with prime, work
-Tegra 3 supports 3d. Maybe make a way to enable 3D mode, with or without 3d glasses.
-see if any ways to optimize/beef up the gpu even more.
-maybe a way to download and install IOS tablet apps/games through an emulator or some other way. So we have access to even more apps, especially since IOS tablet only apps far outnumber androids.
-dual boot capabilities , possibly windows
-hack pad tool set..lmao
-a special feature, cybertron mode, that whenever Prime is in vicinity of an IOS device, we can disable and shut it down. Then we go over n show off how cool the prime is and enable that device to run run again. Showing that we can amd did, fix the device wirelessly or if you want it completely disabled for life, so be it.
Just throwing stuff out there, I'll update this post as I come up with more ideas.

I'm sure that people will overclock it, but I don't think we need it at this point considering that even with stock, the TFP will likely annihilate anything currently out. It won't have to compete with any other tablets for a long time.

Many phone/tablet ROMS can already do this; all you have to do is hold the power button to bring up the menu.

Completely impractical. iOS is not open source like Android, and even ignoring Apple coming down on anyone that attempts to do it, the architecture for the two are completely different, so even emulating it isn't something that can be done. At the risk of exaggeration, building a rocket to the moon sounds more plausible.

Someone will do it eventually, I think.
Suggestion or aquestion of viability since I have no idea what you can really do developing a rom.
Some sort of "stylus mode" where large touches from your palm don't get registered and mess up your writing for all those apps that using a stylus is nice but don't have palm recognition.
There's something i think fits both transformer tablets perfectly: A native android IDE. Developing for Android and testing it in the same tablet you're coding on the fly. No need for an additional device.
As far as ROMs go.... i still don't have the prime so i can't see what should be changed
+1 on the stylus mode.
usb support. I'll try to explain. whatever needs to happen to make the usb adapter work like a "real" usb port like on the Iconia A500. I wanna use flash drives and the remote control dSLR app to controll my camera. If that isn't already built into ICS.
Not too crazy on the tweaks. I've noticed the more tweaks in cooked roms the more custom problems there are.
Glad you're starting early.

NVM my last post.......what HE said....
tried to deodex the system, but im getting really wierd errors.. i htink its honeycomb related buttt.
Is it possible to have a four finger swipe function on the ROMs for the transformer to switch recent applications or to look at the recent apps like the iOS? i.e. As was previously asked gesture based OS would be pretty nice..
Also possibility of overclocking and undervolting, mainly the companion core for the background tasks which might improve the response further.. It is pretty good in comparison to old tablets from what the demos show but I guess bumping up the 500MHz 5th core could possibly help mundane tasks?
GPU improvements would be absolutely great- as previously mentioned..
Also perhaps a possibility of changing color saturation on the screen (in addition to the already present brightness- akin to settings on laptop GPUs)?
I see from a lot of demo photos in review sites that the camera gives a slightly reddish tinge to the photos- in comparison to the photos from Galaxy tab- it will be great to have some sort of a s/w fix to improve the quality..
As mentioned before, stylus mode would be very nice..
Possibly some sort of audio processing (like beats audio processing on the HTC sensation android revolution ROMS)..
i would say make a couple themes for it now but mainly study the ICS source code so that when it lands on the prime you can make the best ROM's possible and release them quicker. but im all for a windows 8 theme as long as it truly looks like windows 8 which im not sure if you can do without a launcher but i think windows 8 if it's good will finally convince me to switch from mac

A transformer silhouettes or style theme (doesn't have to contain pictures of the primes or what not) or maybe a 2 tone theme of cybertron very stylized so it's clean and slick.
Excuse me if there are themes like this out already (regardless I would like to do so 2 tone art work) and I would like some old school transformer sound bytes in there for transitions. I'm envisioning more of a theme of what a computer UI would look like on cybertron or to a transformer and not just a generic cartoon theme. =)
Hi Xda forum,
I sent my Prime for repair after the hdmi port was not working. Right now, I'm am getting lags when swiping between homescreens quickly and i'm in balanced mode.The lag seem to improve when I switch to performance mode but it still exist. And also when clicking on the app drawer there is slight lag as well.
I would like to know if any of you guys are having the same issues as me ?
Please try it out for me, I really want to know if its a defective hardware problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Venz
my prime works great in balanced mode. when I'm not overclocked, I always use the 1.2Ghz balanced mode. no lag at all. everything moves fast as far as swiping thru homescreens, launching apps, loading web browser pages, scrolling thru web browser pages, etc...
try a fresh reboot to see if it clears things up. if sounds like you installed a bad app or widget or something. check the last things you downloaded. then uninstall one by one to see if it clears issue.
Ya,I've tried all types of reset.There always a very small lag when swiping across screens quickly and sometimes when clicking the app drawer.I find the prime pretty smooth hefore the repair.Confused.
Thats not normal.....i dont even see any lag when im on power save.
i run it in balanced and everything is super smooth. i have not been able to make it lag yet. only while using Wifi certain games(Glu) will lag.
other than that Nothing.
I've found the biggest thing that affects homescreen performance is the number of screens and widgets. Are your screens pretty cluttered? What launcher are you using?
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I don't run Launchers or have numourous number of widgets on my homescreen.Even after a factory reset/Wipe/hard reset, I get slight lag that appears when sliding across homescreens.
I told the asus service staff about this but their reply was "It passed all the required test and there's nothing wrong with your tablet"

Do you mean you are having lag on HDMI? Because I think everyone misunderstood you here and think that you are having lag while using the touch screen. I don't have an HDMI cable to test your problem out though...
I run my tablet always on the balanced mode. I have never see any lag while swiping. In fact I am using multipic live wallpaper with random effects. Since last one week I am using Go Launcher HD Beta. Give a try with different launcher.

Yes,I'm having lag while using the touchscreen.Not a big one just small stutters.It doesn't really show up when i'm in performance mode.

you shouldnt have to do that with the prime in my OP anyway. i mean if it fixes it great. but this thing should not have any lag as far touch screen flipping through home screens. i even cluttered my screens up last night after reading your post with pictures, and widgets and live wallpaper to have have as much going on as possible. and didnt see any lag on any cpu setting.
i would try and find a way of getting it replaced.
that would bug the hell out of me........
Live wallpaper? If you a live wallpaper such as the Asus Water ones it will lag a little bit especially when the animation is starting after you wake up your screen.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
i didnt use that one. just simply because i do not like it.....but i will use that one to test with when i get to the house.
and he was only talking about flipping through home screens.....not the start up lag. so thats what i was reffering too.

Thanks alot Guys! I have returned my prime back to the service center.Furthermore, I tried out a Prime display set and noticed no lags whatsoever.
The lagging bothers me so much !
Hi Forum, I just got back my prime from Asus. It got it's motherboard replaced again. But i'm still finding lags and stutters ....I don't what is the issue..seems like Asus can't figure it out too.
Do you have any suggestions on what could it be ?
Build Number : 9.4.2.15
Kernel version 2.6.39.4
AnTuTu Benchmark v2.7.1 (In performance mode) : 10610
CPU frequency : 1600 MHz
your score seems right for your device. you have something going on in the background causing lag. try this. go into settings. then developer options. then turn of window and transition animations. then force gpu rendering. that should speed you up. although that's not required as my out the box setup was lag free, that will speed device up. as far as ui n such goes. do you have any oddball Widgets on homescreens or anything? also download a free app called system panel. it will show you what apps are running. this shows alot more than Asus task manager. if you see something running that's active, and you not using it or shouldn't be running, just kill it.

Hi Demandarin, thks for the suggestion. I tried it but there isn't any improvements. I just noticed one thing, there isn't any lag when I click on the sides...the homescreen shifts smoothly but whenever I swipe it across the screen, there's a very small stutter during the transition period.

Hi Demandarin, just one question...I launched system panel lite app, settings > Dev info > Under the CPU section : Processors/Cores : 4
SYSFS CPUs Present : 4
Processor : 3 << Is it suppose to be like this ?
both powersave and balanced modes limit the framerate to 35fps, it is not totally unreasonable that some people are able to see the difference, while the vast majority do not.

I don't think its anything to be worried about. maybe just false reporting in the dev. info section.
Hey. It seems like the "new" 4.0.4 (4.1.B.1.13) is available through Vodafone. I've just updated my phone and here are my thoughts.
1. The notification led problem hasn't been fixed.
2. There's no new kernel.
3. It's a bit smoother than .587. (Actually it's not. Just placebo.)
4. The touchpad responds better. (Placebo)
5. The dialer is much faster.
EDIT:
6. I'm disappointed in Sony. I've waited so long for this update and it's a pile of t****, slow and buggy. If you're still on GB, stick with it, don't "update"!
EDIT:
7. Sony, are you playing us? Video recording still laggy, audio output is still mono.
EDIT: According to CTCaer the only real change is related to WiFi libraries. There's also a new baseband which might also solve some signal issues. That's all folks! Don't expect better overall performance.
Download: http://d-h.st/WcP
Note. Vodafone branded. Contains carrier bloatware.
Some screens and Benchmarks.
still same pathetic mixed ui
What other changes? more screenshots please)) there is a problem with the network mode?
i'm still curious about what did they update actually. kernel is still the same exact kernel as .587, bit by bit.
if notification led and buggy video record with stabilizer on haven't been fixed, what is the change then?
btw i can see the baseband is .85 now.

Did they fix network mode resetting?
Did they changed, added, removed any widgets?
Is there still double "Fun & Downloads" widget?
Does "media shortcuts" widget still takes 4x2 grid instead 4x1 which is proper?
Is WiFi coverage still as weak as before?
Is app drawer still laggy as before?
Is overall experience still cluttered and choppy as before?
Is gaming still "mission impossible" as before?
I guess it will take some time to answer all this, but we're not rushing anywhere. Take your time.
this is like they mock us -.-

5,6,7) It's still full of lag. Homescreen switching is slow and choppy, the app drawer is the same. Video recording laggy and mono sounded. Gaming is laggy, for example, Temple Run lags, same as on .587
As for the rest, I can't tell for sure. Once I saw how bad it runs, I switched back to GB.
What's the change except numbers then?
thank god this is xda, custom rom and kernel beat the hell out of oem stock rom.
but at least they tried.
well try again next time, sony. try harder
sony just change number >>>
Why they release new firmware when there is no change?

Like I said before on several occations, Gingerbread is light year ahead of this half-finished ICS wannabe.
In everything - period.
Beside fanciness and somewhat wider choice of apps, which will appeal to "up to date" type of users.
But everything (important) else is on side of GB really. Usability, performance, rock solidness, stability, gaming, etc etc...
As for me, I'm sick of waiting for something to happen, and then being slapped in face harder than before, over and over again.
I was using (torturing myself) ICS in last few weeks just for trying to make myself to like it, and hoping that new update will make it usable finally, but now...
I'm going back to GB for good, at least with this phone. This ICS experience made me appreciate GB even more than before. So, dear fast and usable GB, here I come. I'm sorry I ever left you.

Elegancia Review
I migrated over to Elegancia from the AOSP ROMs ( Half-Sense, Fulmix ) after finding both still having a few bugs (hopefully these will be squashed in due time). I'm not a huge fan of the Sense stuff so wasn't too excited about that aspect of the Elegancia ROM, but was interested to see how well it held up in terms of bugs, functionality and performance.
The install
Aroma installer was simple to use and worked well. Some of the options could be better explained (Wi-fi regional 'fixes'?) but for the most part it was all very self-explanatory. You get to choose whether to install many of the stock HTC apps or leave them out, as well you're given a few alternative apps to install. I had no crashes or bugs (eg. Aroma apps and options I selected did actually get installed).
Initial boot and setup
The bootup takes a short while the first time and then you're taken straight to the setup process. Unusually, I got asked to select what mobile network operator I was with, which was new to me. The rest of the setup process is the familiar HTC routine. There were no crashes due to missing apks or other oddities that you can get when stripping out major components of the stock ROM.
Look and Feel
Once you're all setup, the UI is very similar to the stock ROM at first glance. But the you notice the nice matte effects on some of the widgets, the lockscreen, and the little flourishes like the blue battery icon (you have to select this in Aroma if you want it), the blue background in the toggles under settings, and of course the tabbed quick settings which look great and work perfectly. The system as a whole feels very responsive, without any noticeable lag or glitches.
Under the Hood
The Software Information indicates "Elegancia - Sense 4.1 v1.0.0" and the Software Update feature to enable future Elegancia updates appears to work though there are no OTA updates to test just yet. Checking the terminal, the system name is set to 'Elegancia' which is a nice touch. Also the init.d support and busybox is confirmed to be working. You can also see the various init.d scripts correctly installed under /system/etc/init.d Root is working fine with SuperSU dealing with root access requests.
Sound and Vision
Audio on this ROM is great. Beats audio is enhanced with xloud which increases the overall volume without distortion. The end result sounds good, though a control panel with some customisability (a la Awesome Beats perhaps) would be a nice feature. The Bravia patch is applied but I find it hard to tell much difference between Stock and Bravia. Games play just fine and I've noticed no graphic glitches or drawing errors.
Final Thoughts
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ROM and the attention to detail. Things just work, some things work better, and the build quality is high. Overall I'd say it's a great 1.0 release, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for this ROM. Well done!
i tried all the roms here!!..but now i am back to elegancia..
I'm content with Elegancia too, it's the first ROM I've flashed, thanks to a lot of research I learned that Elegancia is the most polished ROM out there for the Desire X.
There are a few bugs I would like to report:
Chrome is not working for some odd reason, as soon as I boot chrome, I get an empty browse screen, which then turns of and states "Chrome has stopped working". This has never happened to me before I flashed Elegancia.
In the Quick-Settings tab half of the text is German, half of it is English and a little bit of Dutch in between, this shouldn't be too hard to get around though.
Synchronization is a bit messed up (the device starts random synchronizing, and does that without having synchronization enabled). Once I want to synchronize however, I have to do this manually, cause the "automatic synchronize" button does not function anymore.
And last but not least: Even though battery life was promised to be improved, I noticed this did not have any effect (although I have used my device quite heavily lately).
Furthermore, all the other tweaks and improvements still make the ROM worthwhile, these are just minor complaints (and I hope these can be fixed easily)! :laugh:
That's odd about the quick settings language. I can't recall that being an issue with my install (not on elegancia atm). Also my chrome and sync had worked fine. Have you tried reflashing?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to do that next week :good:
One issue is with HTC Scene does not work, at least the wall paper come with black matte instead of yellow.
You can change the wallpaper. The default for elegancia is the matte skin.

REQUIREMENTS.
MUST BE ROOTED WITH RECOVERY.
HAVE INIT.D SUPPORT for method 1.
HAVE TERMINAL EMULATOR for method 2.
NOTE: This may work for all android devices but is only tested on a LG D851. The mod will install on all devices but may give unwanted results. If it works let us know.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
XDA and I are NOT responsible if anything wrong happens to your device by using this mod. Always make sure you have a backup ready if needed.
ABOUT THIS MOD.
Here is a very simple mod that I wanted to share. This is what has been labeled in the past as the build property to remove a FPS cap on all android devices. This doesn't actually do that but you will see an increase in frames per second by adjusting the EGL swap interval. Unfortunately, this property has always had big issues with visual artifacts that made it useless to use.
I found it frustrating that we could obtain such a high FPS but plagued with issues. So I spent some time and found a new value. One that could actually work on all android devices. Instead of 1 for stock or 0 for modified. Here is the new value...
debug.egl.swapinterval=-60
A general description...
https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/sdk/docs/man/html/eglSwapInterval.xhtml
While other negative values may work, -60 brought the most bang for the buck when it came to benchmarks. I am truly excited about finding a way to make it work and although it's just a new value, I would appreciate if you could give me credit if using this property as it is the first time it will actually work the way we want it. This value didn't just fall from the sky. Certainly no need to ask for any permissions.
WAYS TO USE THIS MOD.
I figured many people would at least like to try this out so I made it as easy as possible for newer and more advanced users. The mod is actually really easy to apply. Simply add it to your build.prop file and reboot or use one of methods below.
METHOD 1.
Use the proper flashable zip to install into init.d so the mod is ready directly after a reboot.
METHOD 2. (recommended)
Use the proper flashable zip to install into /system/xbin and call upon it when needed and disable it when not needed.
INSTALLATION.
Method 1
version 1.1
1. Download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603390
2. Flash in recovery.
3. Reboot.
METHOD 2.(recommended)
version 1
1. Downloadhttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602432
2. Flash in recovery.
3. After you reboot open Terminal Emulator and type the following without the quotes.
4. Type "su" and press the enter key.
5. Type "unlockfps" and press enter. This will activate the property for higher fps.
To deactivate type "lockfps"
NOTE: You may need to toggle your screen off/on to fully activate the mod using method 2.
You will also need to activate the mod again after a reboot. The setting won't survive a reboot with method 2.
UNINSTALL
METHOD 1.
version 1.1
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952603391
Version 1 (depreciated)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602181
METHOD 2.
version 1
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602429
CHANGELOG
Method 1 version 1.1- Fixed permissions.
I have had people tell me battery life is better and some say it's worse. You be the judge and let us know.
Happy Flashing!
These zips will flash on any device, so If you have something other than an LG G3 you can try it. If you choose to try I definitely suggest using method 2. This way if you run into trouble all you need to do is reboot and the mod is disabled.
PLEASE!
IF YOU TRY THIS MOD ON ANOTHER DEVICE LET US KNOW HOW IT WORKS!!
So far I have positive reports for Samsung and Sony devices.
thanks bro. gonna try it on my vs985
Installed on my D855 and it improves animation speed an in overall system fluidness. I'm using it in combination with LSpeed tweak and working perfect, for battery impact, if there will be one, will see after daily use. Thanks for this my phone is flaying, so to speak.

Yea. I thought it was only going to work in games and such but it seems to make everything a little quicker and smoother. Scrolling etc... I wasn't expecting that.
after installing unlockfps antutu score not bad, using darkknight rom.
getting around 42+++ on antutu as well. & yes, everything seem much snappier, considering i got shedloads of listview, ime & toast animations (xuimod/xposed, ftw!).
good example is gosms. starting the app uncached is almost instantaneous. then when i go to a long thread (conversations w/ wifey, go figure) i could really say that load time is quicker than before the mod. close to 1 batt cycle & i don't notice any unusual drain.
tried it on my T700 as well. i'm getting the same results, though antutu scores don't agree. didn't explode so far. btw, does enabling hw/gpu acceleration negate this? or is it the other way around?

I have "force gpu rendering" enabled. To boost 2d rendering but that's it as far as dev options.
If your talking build properties then I really don't know for sure.
Hey,
I use Methode 1 on newest BlizzPop at D855.
For First Time i can say...... Wow amazing. The Rom is very very fast with this Mod. No lags. Smooth and Fluid.
Now i hope the Battery hold.
Test right Now @ work.
Thx for your great Mod, work on it and your Time.

For me it seems improve phone and graphics in general, for games I don't know because I don't play games on it. So far didn't notice any heating up or any other side affect from this only improvements and also didn't notice any battery drain.
Working so far
Working great so far ! i also combined this with the CTT mod and the combination is killer so smooth the fastest experience ever!
lg G3 D850 AT&T

This mod is amazing! the before and after is huge. My phone already felt really fluid but after installing this is flies--apps open instantly and animations are like butter.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community. Everyone needs to flash this because the difference it makes is amazing.
NVM!
I combined method 1 with Velocity set to 4300 and a few other tweaks to build.prop, and made this phone run like butter. Only place where I see stutter is on Facebook, but is better than before the mod.
Sent from my Ice Cold D850
Thx alot razz
I have d855 and tried it, method 1 didnt give me any change in antutu benchmark so i tried method 2 and benchmark gave 3000 points more
Both tests after reboot
Why was it locked in the first place?
is this different from the one found in hidden menu? the dynamic lcd refresh on/off - enable 60fps
Sorry for the stupid question... but do i need to add (after i flashed and activated (method2) ) "debug.egl.swapinterval -60" to build.prop ?

It wasn't. This mod is to adjust a swap interval. Not actually unlock anything.
People have just called it that in the past.

You don't need to add anything permanent to the build.prop file. These methods will do it on the fly for you.
Used method one and no longer have slight stutter in notification panel!! Now to try antutu
