Advanced Power Menu for TF101 ICS

Anyone have a flashable one of these for what is a pretty stock ICS install?
(Talking about the revolution one specifically.)

No,but there's an app for that...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transformer.recovery
It does require root though.
There is also an an app called Quick Boot (reboot) that does require root to work that has Widgets for regular reboot and turn off if you don't like using the button.
Just go to apps, then Widgets tabs at top,then swipe around and you'll see several buttons with lightening bolts labelled for the various options.
I never even tried vanilla stock ICS. Since I have been on Revolution since Honeycomb.

Revolution
Actually, its not really stock, it's Revolution. It just seems stock to me.

Revolution
Oh, and thanks for the info. I can't find those on my tablet for some reason. I can see the Transformer Reboot To Recovery in my installed apps, but I don't see the icon/widget anywhere. Anyway, I installed Quick Boot from the Market (hate the Google Play name.) and it works ok, so I'll use that I guess.

Browser hang with Megatron ICS CM9?

Flashed this the other day. Very happy with the results, especially the improvements to the stock web browser...except it randomly hangs. IE: I can browse to several sites with no problem, then for no reason the browser will stop working. It doesn't crash or force stop, it just won't load the page. The status bar will get stuck like 1/4 of the way and stay there forever. All other internet conencted apps work fine, just the browser stops working. Even Dolphin browser works...it makes no sense. The only way to fix it is to reboot the tab. Then it will be fine for a little while and it will happen all over again.

I was having this problem and only had to close the browser in the recent apps list and then restart the browser and it was ok. Not perfect but workable.
This was on latest Megatron and kernel 16b, then I installed Guevnor 17c kernel last night and so far I am not having this problem but I havent used my TF that much. Lets hope that the problem is gone.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Yeah, I tried removing the browser from the recent apps and it doesn't work. I believe one time I closed the browser, and went and messed with some other apps and came back to it a few minutes later and it worked...but that's not a workable solution lol! No other app loses it's internet connection. I've installed Dolphin HD but I prefer to use the stock browser since there are some compatibility issues with the Dolphin on sites like facebook.

Go into Settings>Apps and find the browser (it doesnt have to be in the "running" list) and hit "force stop"..........
should get you running without having to reboot. experience the same thing aswell.

same issue for me every now and then. Advanced task killer in the quick apps is working for me plus its convenient having it right on the bottom of my screen at all times

I can confirm on mine with kernel 17c that it is giving me no problems - I also put my sdcard back in the dock because all other kernels I was having SOD with the sdcard, now it is working fine.

This was the main reason I went back to the stock based ROMs, All the AOSP roms exhibited this issue for me. None of the kernels made any difference. I am using v22 on revolver now with no issues. Hopefully the AOSP build will figure this out soon.
Honetslty constantly task killing is not a good answer

Try Gummy rom with ics browser+ (free on the market)rather than the stock browser........almost identical browser but better. And Gummy doesnt have any issues for fast browsing, its the fastest of Aosp roms out there - works well with Guevor 22.
Heres a link to the latest nightly 11/06/2012 Gummy Nightly
Flash the kernel straight after the rom then reboot before flashing Gapps

I've seen this happen with every ICS ROM I've tried, at some point or other.

I use chrome beta, stock just doesn't cut it. I used to have a dedicated 'kill browser' button on my statusbar before I made the switch.

I'm having the same problem where it does the hang on all browsers I have tried on Megatron. Also pages are taking forever to load which is incredibly annoying. I am using Guevors' test(the latest)

Well, I tried the few different recommendations here and nothing worked. Not only that, but even Dolphin and Chrome (which sucks anyway) would
become unresponsive and stop loading pages after a few minutes of use. Luckily those didn't require a full reboot to fix but it was still highly annoying to have to kill the browser and go back to whatever I was looking at....which was usually several clicks in to a page. I couldn't deal with it anymore. Flashed revolve 4.1.1 last night with guevors 22.6 kernel. No bubbles no troubles. i tried really hard to like megatron...but after months of dealing with this dumb issue I have moved on. : /

Anyone getting the bug where all icons disappear?

Has anyone been getting the bug where all the icons and display on the screen disappears? I've been getting it since the last two updates. Only remedy is a reboot for me.

on the default launcher correct? try resetting the launcher data

do you mean completely disappear or where the proper icon gets replaced with the green droid? Since the last couple of updates I get the latter a lot. A reboot brings them back for a while but they randomly revert back a few days later. Its only a random few and not all icons and it doesn't matter if they are in a folder or on their own.

Yes happens to me as well with Nova Launcher. Reboot is only option.

The only thing that I see is that after a reboot, the icons appear for a bit and then they disappear for a minute or so while the OS finishes booting up. Once, Android is fully loaded they come back and are fine. I observed this with Revolver after iCS update and now the same on Gummy. I haven't seen any other weird icon issues. Revolver is using the stock launcher and Gummy uses Apex.

Yup I get it often as well, another symptom of Asus/nVidia being incapable of correcting the OpenGL errors in the Tegra 2 libraries we're having to suffer with. Look in the system log when it happens and you'll see dozens of OpenGL memory errors etc
They've only had since February to fix it

It is weird that I haven't had any problems like this at all. At the very start of ICS I used to have some problems with icons disappearing but they always returned when I touched the screen. I kinda assumed Transformers were pretty uniform hardware wise but maybe there is more variety than I assumed.

icon disappear is happening on mine too.(since last two updates, but the last update made it worse ), hadn't have it on NOVA launcher, too bad

Same problem here, both with default launcher and Pro launcher; killing the launcher app in settings/apps solves the issue.

I also get it often. That and SOD, I want to sell this thing pretty bad but I'm still not annoyed enough. I'm hoping a fix is coming soon.

[Q] Flickering/disappearing launcher

my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

i tried to use less widgets... but doesn't really change much...
it is very random, but in my experience it appears more often when battery is low
do you feel the same?
i hope it can be fixed, i'm seriously thinking to sell it because of that (but who will buy it..?)

Don't sell it, just flash stock. I tried them all and had problems. Stock for me run's with no problems and the fastest just give it a try and you won't look back.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...

as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

Did you go full stock no unlocked bootloader..? Not just run a stock rom.

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see

It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?

To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader

After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb

[Q] CM 10.1 - 20121227 Nightly - Home Screen Bar

Good evening. Lastnight I updated my system to the latest CM - CM10.1-20121227 Nightly. Everything went smooth except an odd occurance is happening now. I noticed after the reboot, that all my 'favoriates' that I put on the home page bar (sorry new to N7 and not sure the proper name) disappeared, so I remade them and went about my business. Today after logging in, I noticed that they are gone again, so remade them and they seemed to stay put this time. But I just logged in again (after not using the tablet for about 4hrs) and yup you guessed it, they are gone! The only thing that stays on the bar is of course the 'button' that brings up the apps/widgets screen. So, what am I missing here? After the last 3 updates, I've never ran into this problem. Sorry for the noobish question, just new to the scene. Thanks in advance...

Are you talking about the 5ish icons at the bottom of the launcher? If you are, I think this is caused by a bug in the default launcher (see the comments at the bottom of this page http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/28994/ ). There are quite a bit of changes getting committed to trebuchet, and when using nightly builds, you are the beta tester. You can install a different launcher that has been tested by more people and is considered stable.

@Gianptune - Yes, the '5ish icons' at the bottom of the page. I knew after researching CM, that any nightly builds would be ' as is ' because they are considered work in progress, but I have CM selected to only notify me of when a 'stable' build is avail. Thanks for the link and can you tell me, or recommend a popular launcher to use? Did not know that you could replace that one. (BTW that link was broken on this puters IE). Thaks again

Awsome thanks much ...

Hi all,
Not to hijack the thread, its almost the same topic i would guess...
I was running 12.22.12 nightly, i think, and all was well until i updated to the 27th. that when i noticed problems with the shortcuts at the bottom as well. Tried to flash back to previous version and noticed that I lost the quick settings pull down (upper right, opposite of the notification pull down)
I have tried to flash every single CM10.1 i can find and not a single one would bring it back.
Has anyone ran in to that?
thanks

I had this issue going to 12/27 too. I did not have it happen on today's nightly however.

That's strange, on CM10.1 thread someone just reported it with latest build.
I dont know why, but when i install 12/15 unofficial CM10.1 build, the pull down is not available as well, yet i had that build for several days two weeks ago and everything worked fine.
basically any CM build i install does not have the pull down. only if i restore my backup of the stock rom it comes back.
