What advantages will/does CM9 provide over just running the stock ICS build for the TFP? I'm pretty happy with stock once I can disable a few choice programs, but I'm interested in CM9. I've used other ROMs for my other devices and for my Original TF, but I'm having a hard time deciding with my Prime.
It looks like they are adding some sort of quick settings to the notification area and they have a performance menu in the settings. They usually have a customizable lock screen as well.
CM is normally a good solution to get to a more "vanilla" experience, however with the TFP the experience is fairly vanilla anyway. I'm shying away from switching to CM9 because I wonder if we will be able to port over the asus quick settings. I don't want to go to CM9 if that means losing the ability to toggle performance modes and ips/super ips+ modes.
CM does have lots of cool lock screen options. Also CM normally has built in overclocking/governor profiles which are great for conserving power.
Has the source code for the ICS kernel been released yet for TFP ?
i really dont think the performance toggles matter...CM will likely support changing of cpu frequencies via the settings menu as long as the kernels that are built have the frequency slots...so lets say balanced mode is 1.3 u would go into the settings menu of the rom and as long as the kernel has the slot u can select the min frequency and the max 1.3 also if the kernel supports undervolting you can set that via settings menu as well...no need for the asus performance modes...because its built in already to the rom usually i know that AOKP has this for the gnex and tab as well. as for the IPS+ thats something the CM team will have to add support for i think.
I can't find any information on the CM9 feature list either....love to see one.
Does Bluetooth GPS and Bluetooth controller work natively (without add on apps)?

judging from the posted video it seems the BT stack in CM9 for the TFP is working...but cant confirm it.
Cm9 would be good if you wanted to customize almost every aspect, even screen color temperature and cpu speed. Other that that I would not get it. I'm just going to get a custom kernel for the clock speeds because I like the way it us set up now

It might be a permissions thing. I tested on my own internal build. I'll look into it.
New beta posted that fixes compatibility with ziggy's kernels.
Thanks
Thanks for releasing app so fast Chad.
I enjoyed your work on my Incredible and I look forward to your work on the Rezound.
The app makes my life easier, and I've been tweaking it down bit by bit to see how much I can get this phone to sip.
Do you have any plans to do kernels? I'm using Ziggy's which seems to be running fine now (although i had a reboot earlier, but who knows why that happened).
I ran just your kernels religiously on my Incredible and enjoyed the performance and stability.
Regardly, thanks again for all the work you do bro.
Works great!
I would recommend for the Rezound screen size to make the buttons a tad wider. They are rather tiny on this screen and sometimes when i click the voltage adjustment button I click on the value input and go into keyboard entry mode. I have rather smaller hands so i would imaging its more annoying for bigger people.
other than that, great job.
Awesome app. I didn't know you had incorporated cpu controls into it

I get random reboots on Ziggy's no matter what governor and clock speed.
It wipes dalvik cache when it happens too.
If i do a set cpu stress test, and let it sit there, eventually the freeze/reboot happens.
Something about how it's written.

I get it random reboots too, I tried many ROMs out and i still get them. The conclusion I get from it is that we have bad chips.
Ziggy mentioned it had something to do with the cache getting corrupted. Im wondering if regularly clearing it would prevent bootloops from happening

I have seen this with other devices and wondering if anyone of the developers that have put it into their ROM can make a flashable zip for us who want to stay on stock deoxed? Thanks in advance.
Been researching all day and FINALLY found this from an outside forum source. Makes a HUGE difference if you are running stock.
"If you download Blade Buddy from the market and go into Advanced Settings, you are given the option to set a value for:
debug.sf.hw
Setting it to "1" should enable GPU Acceleration in the Android UI. (I believe this only works in Gingerbread). Enabling it won't always make a difference, since some UIs like TouchWiz and Sense 3.0 already have a limited form of GPU UI rendering , but I've seen many people say that it makes a hige difference on some devices and things like swiping, scrolling, and zooming become much smoother.
But it's worth a shot due to the potential benefits. The worst it can do is not change anything. (Remember to first click "Apply" in the Menu and then "Save", and then reboot).
Does anyone want to try and post their results?
My Inspire feels smoother now, but I'm on a ported ROM from the Sensation (Sense 3.0), so it's harder to tell.
You can also enable stagefright codecs which should give you GPU decoding of videos and media. I'm trying this right now."

I'll try it...lets see if I see any difference!! I have not lag or anything at this point, So I doubt i'll get any better.
Let me know how it works for you. On stock my flicking and scrolling improved dramatically. Also check out the market loading that improved also. Hope it helps out in some way for you.
just did it...market is way faster def...and transitions to drawer seems much more smooth...thanks
wow even the map application and gallery seem to load faster...double thanks..

I'll continue to find ways to improve the force. Who knows I might make my own ROM one day.
Just fyi for anyone interested, I assume x has had this for awhile but I just went to build.prop and checked in BP2.4.0 and it is there. Good find though, some of these little build.prop tweaks can really help.

well I'm rooted stock so this was a great find for those of us who just want one or two things and not an entirely different rom.
how do you know it works? I have another phone that is pure stock. I compare with my phone with the change. I don't notice anything.
From what I understand some phones do not support it. I will try to see if I can find the technical reason.

So I made this thread to get some feedback and stories from other people of their experiences with the ROM Toolbox app on the Samsung galaxy player 5.0/4.0 U.S. and International version. How have your experiences been? For me pretty much the app is useless because if you try to change anything it will throw you straight into a bootlopp. So before you use it remember to do a back up on you clock work mod recovery Anyway what have your experiences with the app been and what do you think of it?
On my 5.0 US using the GenericGinger rom, it doesn't cause any problems. Custom boot animations don't work on the default settings from stock, but are perfect on Entropy's kernel. You can change icons, but they don't always work correctly - I changed the battery icon to one with numbers, but now it only shows 20% increments (the icon supports 1%0). The build.prop tweaks do work - the DPI is quite handy, and it successfully blocks ads. However, some parts of the themng do not work - I have tried multiple notification backgrounds with no effect. I think it's well worth getting.
As a side note, are you running a deodexed rom? If not that may be your problem.

Yeah I'm using 2 roms actually one is Ergybits 2.3.6 based custom rom with and the other is tsnuras cm9 aokp rom. At this moment i am using the cm9 based rom, but when i was using the ergybit rom, it would always put me in a bootloop whenever I tried to change anything, i havent tried it on this one, because cm9 is pretty much customizable in every aspect so the need has gone away, but it didnt seem very useful to me. Concerning the custom boot animations, I heard that a lot of people had been having trouble with them at that in worst case scenarios it even bricked some peoples devices, so i didn't even try going near that.
just a quick question...
i'm using aokp (build 38...since 39 gave me some fruity boot loops)
i'm wondering if there is a place where you can switch power "modes" like you could with a stock rom...i.e. power-save, balanced and performance
i understand there's no widget or toggle to do this like the stock version has..but even CM9 and gummy had additional options where you could switch it
also, is there any benefits in being able to switch it, since i'm using motley's kernel? or should i just use a certain governor with certain max/min frequencies?
thanks!

I'm by no means an expert on this stuff but I have made a few observations based on my usage of AOKP on all my devices... There is not a specific setting to change the power modes that I'm aware of/found. I know what you're referring to in CM9, they have that option to switch, AOKP does not. I will say though that I like AOKPs more than CM9 because of all the other customization stuff you can do (sorry CM9). I have noticed really great battery life with AOKP so I don't even mess with the governor. Also, I had the same problem with 39, had to back down to 38, not sure what was going on there.
Just wondering what apps I can use to improve the performance of my YPG1 US version without installing a ROM. I have installed a couple roms before but was a bit frustrated by losing certain functions and one of them actually made it slower.
Device is rooted atm but only rooted apps I think are SetCPU, AdFree, and Superuser.
I use it mainly for video and reading so I would love to be able to change the brightness from the dropdown menu. I also have a problem with XBMC crashing when I use the Navi-X program most of the time or going very very slowly when running Navi-X so would love to be able to use that, I think it has to do with ram usage even though I don't have that many background apps running.

Just a heads up, but have you tried REDD? It is literally a modified version of our stock rom, and you don't lose any functions.
Firstly, you can install a custom kernel if you want. It does help with performance (you get a boost in available ram), and will give you more options with setCPU. Now if you don't want to install anything then you can still setup your min frequency to at least 400 mhz, and keep max at 1000mhz on setCPU. This should keep things zippy.
Another thing you can do is change out the launcher. Many people don't realize this, but using a different launcher can vastly increase the performance of pretty much any android device. I recommend using Holo Launcher, since it is light on ram, and gives a pretty decent performance boost. However, many people love ADW Launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adw.launcher&hl=en, or Launcher Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fede.launcher&hl=en so if you haven't changed out your launcher then try that as well.
Our players have a knack for using too much ram. For some reason, it may say you don't have that many background apps running but you actually do (you just can't see them in the task manager). For me, I found an app called auto memory manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lim.android.automemman&hl=en. This app is really simple to use. Basically you set a threshold for each category of apps, and once the available ram goes under that threshold it automatically frees up ram. When I was running it on REDD I almost always had 100mb-150mb free. It kept my device very smooth. I still use it on the JB roms. I had mine set like this 40, 70, 100, 120, 140, 160.
Along with auto memory manager, you can also install clean master https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=en, it's pretty much the ccleaner of android. It cleans up junk files that clutter up your device, and you can also set it to free up ram along with auto memory manager. It works awesome.
You say you want to still be able to hange the brightness from the dropdown? There's an app for that lol. Notification Toggle https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en, is pretty much like power toggles on other roms. I have to say it doesn't look exactly like that on GB (that's what it looks like on ics+ roms). It looks like this; You can set this up almost anyway you like and add almost any toggles you want
Hope this helps.
I think you should try an app called Greenify that is available on the Play Store. It "hibernates" apps that are not running so those apps won't run in the background and take up valuable ram or drain your precious battery. (You can pick what apps you want to hibernate)
You should try it out

To be honest they are all about the same performance wise. I went with Klin's R3 kernel, because for me Terrasilent was giving me an issue where it would boot into recovery, and wipe all my data.
You do not need to install anything in order to be able to adjust the brightness from the dropdown menu. I only know for sure that this works on the yp-g1( stock rom), and that it does not work on yp-g70. Other models I do not know about.
All you have to do is when you put your finger on the top of the screen as if pulling down the menu, just press and hold until the shade that pops up dissapears, at wich point you can slide your finger left or right to decrease or increase the brightness. Hope this helps.

Wow thanks that worked. It doesn't adjust it through the full range I think but that's nice and easy, I couldn't get the toggle thing working.
Think I am gonna put a kernel in though to try and avoid Dolphin or XBMC from crashing so often.
