Bad flash performance since ICS, look here!

Since ICS update to Transformer 720p flash is completely unwatchable on my Asus Transformer.
After googling a bit I found a bug report in Adobes public bug db with a confirmed problem, GPU acceleration is not enabled.
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3099866
However, Adobe isn't planning on fixing it because of lack of time.
Please register on the bug tracker and press vote, if enough votes come in the issue might be prioritized.

I do not have these problems. Updated Flash once I went to ICS. However, I am using the latest Revolver ROM, so that might make a difference

I don't have problem with 720 flash youtube videos.... Stock ICS

I already voted.
Have been experiencing problems on every variant of the stock browser (ICS+, Dolphin and vanilla stock) despite doing a complete wipe prior to updating.
FWITW, Opera updated their client and flash plays nicely on 720p.
Don't know how Opera can make this work and stock doesn't....

Please be more specific. Are you using stock browser, Dolphin or what? Also, is your user agent set to desktop?

Those YouTube videos may not even be flash. It may be defaulting to html5

HTML5 is not a solution yet. Flash is critical for things like twitch.tv. Nothing bugs me more than apologetics trying to dismiss the lack of Flash because "HTML5 is the future", this is the same thing Apple users have done for years while Android users have mocked them.

I also have problems, but only when I try full screen mode. Otherwise it works fine.

Couldn't agree more! I use my tf for a bit of stream browsing on twitch.tv and it bugs me as hell that while everything was fine and dandy under HC it is now crap.
I can confirm that windowed mode works after dolphin's upgrade yesterday but fullscren is still not there. It's like it opens on a "ghost" window somewhere and you can't focus on it to bring it to the front.
Finally can others please try opera to see if this resolves the issues? (Their latest changelog speaks specifically about adding flash functionality for 4.x devices)

New update and features or the Nook ST and Glow...

Hi
This should prove to be quite interesting.....

Remember that web browser that was found hiding in the Nook's search function? It's time could be nigh. According to a leaked memo acquired by TechCrunch, Barnes & Nobel will be updating the Nook Simple Touch and Simple Touch with Glowlight with an email app, web browser and an updated store next month. The update will reportedly be sent over the air starting on June 1st and rolling out to all devices in the following weeks. The idea isn't too far fetched -- the Simple Touch is running a skinned version of Android. Nook owners not willing to wait for the official patch can always root the device of course, which comes with some peripheral advantages. Check out TechCrunch for a look the full memo.

Interesting; I wonder if they've got a newer kernel as well, or just tweeked there existing ancient one.

Very interesting, can't wait for the update!
Anyway I was hoping for the store, I would like to install apps without root, but I guess it's never going to happen!

I would doubt that we could get the Play store as someone noted that the new design of it does not work with our venerable Nooks.
Still it is a nice update, not sure if I would get it though as mine is rooted etc and thus it might prevent it from downloading.

This Nook is over a year old now (isn't it?)... There can't be that many tablet manufacturers still willing to perform hefty developments on hardware that old. So web browser and email client announcement will be just that. And no more... no kernel, no other android support. I guess the 'updated store' is their B&N book store, not any kind of android store.
(I omit other bug fixes and reading-centric improvements)
(and as someone who has rooted and set up their nook just nicely, I don't think I'll care about this update, unless it does anything useful for me).

It would be lovely have a official service to send and parse content to nooks, a kind of "Send to Nook" from web browsers and smart phones.

That's what I'm hoping. Even if it just lets you import epubs from email I'd be good with that, it'd allow things like News Beamer and the like to work, as well as adding new sideloaded books without plugging into a computer which is honestly the thing I miss most from the rooted version since I accidentally triggered a reset to stock
==EDIT== some way to import books without plugging in, ability to edit the screensaver banner (had it as an "if found, contact" statement), and a persistent 1 px battery bar at the bottom of the screen and they'd cover all the root features I personally usedwith any regularity

A web browser might mean the device will get official multi-touch support.
The increase from 1.2.1 to 1.5.0 would suggest a bunch of under the hood stuff.

I received the update in the morning. Have used the tab briefly 15 min after update. The display quality has improved, it appears more crispy, colors are more vibrant. One thing noticeable is, it is blazing fast. Have played NFS most wanted for few minutes, and it was a piece of cake.
Will spare more time with it in evening.

blazing fast..
Blazing fast android 5.1 played several games like asphalt 8.. And believe me guys not a single lag + better graphics than kitkat....☺

benchmark
Antutu score 39839
Browsing in Google chrome is also buttery smooth

Got it today, the update needs a lot of time, cause of many reboots for optimizsation of all installed apps. But finally it works.

awesome got min today aswell.. never thought this tablet would get it hahah.

It's taken me flashing back stock recovery (quite reasonably since wouldn't install with TWRP as others have found) and taking off the excellent Shaky kernel (and actually reinstalling a full stock system since my wifi wasn't working when I just flashed the stock kernel back) ... and I'm all upgraded and good to go . Pleasant surprise for a Friday, since like many I'd given up expecting the upgrade!

Is it just me or does the upgrade kill internal memory?

Any one sight laggy menu ? For me L brings tons of lags...

why cant I access internal memory ...!!!

Need root for asus zenpad 10 3s z500m p027

Hello,
I absolutly NEED root for that model i've already searched for it but they failed.
Because i'm new on this amazing forum i can't post url but you will find the rom .img and also the source code on Asus's site (yes they're really not logic ...)
already tried all the one click tools that exists on internet
Okey mostly they failed to mess with the bootloader and so ... hope you'll find a way to mess with that ******* bootloader
have a nice day.

Any update on this?

i'm actually waiting for it :/

I would also greatly appreciate working root on the z500m...I'd even pay 50 bucks for it...

Same here, just got my ZenPad in and didn't bother to search ROMs before purchasing it. The ASUS launcher is pretty bad.

Any uodate

What is Kingroot? Does it work with this tablet?

Kingroot is an app, which allows you easily to root almost every android device.
I believe that it will work on your Asus tablet.
If you need further help, do not hesitate to ask me!

Kingroot did not work.

The lack of root was the reason I sold my Zenpad. Great device and specs, very smooth and quick responsive display. But no Nougat in sight AND no custom ROMs meant I was stuck with ASUS's custom UI for life. That wouldn't be too bad if they actually updated it to Nougat and gave me multiwindows.

We need somebody that's able root from the source code given from asus's site

No progress as far as I know, but I messaged ASUS about the nougat update and they confirmed it would be released at the end of the 2nd quarter. I asked about the Z500KL, but I guess the Z500M will get it as well.

I can't find any bootloader's that works with the p027 tablet. The installed Asus launcher, keyboard, and just about every other thing loaded on this tablet is crap. But........ If you ditch all that crap and get Nova launcher, new font packs and Gboard ( Google's new keyboard) you will find your experience much improved. It will give you alot of the functionality and speeds of nougat. Force stop and disable all the bloatware, ditch the Facebook and Twitter apps which are battery and memory hogs and get Metal for Facebook. This fix will give you a tablet that's on par with the Pixel C. Still have yet to figure out the Quick charge issues with this tablet.

What Quick charge issues? I use my Google pixel charger and it works flawlessly

I emailed Asus support and was told there won't be any updates. Which just adds to the confusion.
For those of you who don't like the launcher - there are lots out there on the Play Store you can try. I have Action Launcher running on mine .. works fine.

New firmware released, 45.0.A.7.137

I just got the new firmware last night on my XZP dual. it comes with September security patch and improved WiFi performance, bugs fixes, optimisations & improvements (written on the update log).
What I noticed was that stuttering on Facebook app is almost gone (heavily stuttered on previous firmware especially when open some external links). Touchscreen issue is gone (I suspected this issue happened earlier due to network incompatibility that slows down the phone to the point that touch input is not recognized sometimes, it could be temporarily solved by removing sim card or swapping between sim slot 1 and 2(only possible on dual sims variant) This problem does not happen to everyone).
Will update if I find any interesting changes.

Thanks for your thread! It reminds me what i wanted to do if i got some free time. Haha... I saw that yesterday on sonymobile.com but I had no time to check it in depth. I will do that now, because they also planned to do changes for unlocked devices (no green pictures anymore) a few months ago. Would be awesome if they really did that. And I hope that they fixed the other bugs, too. I also noticed the stuttering on Facebook and some other apps.
Edit: XperiFirm actually has only the "Customized TH" @ 45.0.A.7.137 for the G8142. Have to wait for the others. But I will take a look at this version now.

Nothing here on the G8141, NL in the EU.
