[Asus Transformer TF700] paddycr:
Thanks for your replies. I am back up and running with the stock kernel. I am really not interested in the overclocking features in the custom kernel. The only reason that I flashed it is because I wanted to change the dpi. It was my understanding that if I use a stock based rom that the only way to change the dpi is by changing the kernel. Is this correct?

This was the kernel that I flashed when I had the problems: clemsynTFUniversal650GPUver7-data2sd.zip. If anyone could chime in which of the various kernels are the most stable and reliable to use with Data2SD I would really appreciate it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I'm using this one and let keep it on "balance mode" for awhile before try to use OC feature (performance mode)

11/6/2012

ASUS GOVERNOR FIX!!! With all the bells and whistles of previous kernels. Only for Stock Based ROMS also compatible with latest Version 20 ROM

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/92981926/Cle...ersalStock.zip

Performance = 1800

Balanced = 1500

Powersave = 910
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
I actually mentioned I this working in a previous post but it did not garner much attention so I did not believe it was needed. Using mount --bind I can place a folder called sdcardi under the root of the sdcard that will let you browse your internal storage. This has two benefits, as I see it:

1) Lets the internal storage be accessed over MTP on ROMs other than CM10 where it does not otherwise show up.

2) Lets you access files on the internal storage from apps that are hard-coded to look at the sdcard itself. Examples of this are most media players and even Dropbox.

Do you guys think all these mountpoints and symlinks are confusing?

The actual sdcards are mounted at:

/storage/sdcard0 (microSD ext4 partition /data/media) and

/storage/sdcardi (internal ext4 partition /data2/media)

There are already symlinks:

/sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0

/mnt/sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0

/sdcardi -> /storage/sdcardi

/mnt/sdcard_internal -> /storage/sdcardi

I can enhance the mod to create a /storage/sdcard0/sdcardi folder that maps to the internal storage if you guys don't think it will add to the confusion. This has to be done with bind because symlinks do not work under /storage/sdcard0 because the OS see it as FAT (long story). Also, this will only work with kernels that have init.d support. Does anyone know if the stock ASUS and stock CM10 kernels support init.d? I believe I did my testing using Clemsyn's CM10 and it worked great.

Lastly, sorry for the late reply...it has been a busy week.

Anyone using this with CleanRom 2.5.1? If so, are you using the 2.4 file? Anyone? Any thoughts?

Sent from my TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
I'll have files for the newer ROMs tomorrow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
No worries, life happens.

I'm all for adding the extra symlink. Bring on the confusion. I need the function. :D

ATM I'm running CM10 to get that functionality...mostly for access to the internal storage via MTP and the media scanner being able to scan /data2/media for media files. CM10 is a very nice ROM, but still has it's own set of issues. If adding that symlink in /storage/sdcard0/sdcardi will provide for those functions....woooohoooo!

Also, clemsynTFUniversalCyano650GPUver1_IO2 (CM10) kernel doesn't play well with the later CM10 releases. Namely wifi not turing on.

The CM10 crew are dealing with other issues with the kernel as well (file system issues), they have advised to not use the nightly from tonight. *1119*. It's working for me, I suspect it's because I'm using the data2sd kernel for cm-10.0.0 (stable) and it's working.

Cheers,

Brad
[Asus Transformer TF700] FearlessSpiff:
Are you using a CM10 nightly and the cm-10.0.0-data2sd? I'm thinking about the same but not sure if this is compatible?

Thx
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ologn:
I got this running after much, solely self created, frustration. It was amazing for the couple hours it lasted. I was browsing the web (ironically for a bigger SD card) when my tabby locked up and went into a boot loop. I got into recovery but was unable to recover the SD card partition. I have dropped back to cleanrom and clemsyn. When I crashed I was using cleanrom 2.4 and data2sd exclusively.

I know there are people with no problems, and then there are those with nothing but problems. What I'm wondering is: what is common to these experiences? Does one ROM work better? Does clemsym make things better/worse? What SD cards have worked/not worked?

Is there a way to catolog these things from those using this mod? Is somebody already doing this? Could we put together an FAQ and a standardized questionnaire? I'm willing to help, if someone can point me in the right direction.

I think this mod is the single most important one going. I want to help make it work for me and everybody else who has a tf700. It just makes that big of a difference!
[Asus Transformer TF700] marcomsousa:
Please, please, please :D update Data2SD for the CM10 NIGHTLY with the (future) today build (20th) because the 19th build there is a critical bug in the sdcard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FearlessSpiff:
+1000 :D

After CleanROM lokked like dead, I tried some other ROMs and am really pleased with CM10. Only thing missing is data2sd for a newer nightly release.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cidorov:
D2SD with newer ROMs

Yer a good man. Your hard work is much appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
I'm working now on getting the new enhancement cleaned up and ready for including in the mod. I want to do this first so mods for the newer ROMs have this feature. I am about to re-mod CM 10.0.0-Stable since that is what I have flashed on my tab. I'm going to flash the mod to my tab and see if it works. If it does, I will mod the latest nightly and post it. Then I want to mod the latest CleanROM, flash the mod and see if it works on a stock based ROM. Updates soon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] joe1l:
This tablet is soo much better because Data2sd. I know i will be hitting the donate button come pay day..

Thank you again mistermuffin. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
Yes currently I am and it is working nicely. At this stage of development it is a very fluid environment. Always changing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gvsukids:
just got a new 32gb sandisk ultra hc class 10 and using cleanrom 2.5 w/ clemsyn 1.8 kernel incl w/ rom. I did a fresh rom install, and fresh partition of card w/ 6mb to unpartition and the rest to ext4 "boot." all i'm getting are around 0.4 in speeds. I had .8 at one time using an identical card before this replacement came in the mail. If I need to disable journaling, then I need better instructions than in the i/o boost post #3 because when I try to run "adb shell" I receive an error with "adb outdated, killing..."

I would like to get back to that 0.8.

Journaling was enabled, and I didn't know that the funny characters was adb shell. I copied the lines from the post #3 and now have more respectable times, like 0.6.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FearlessSpiff:
Nice! Just found out that stable is from 13th. I will take this then also. Doesn't need to be nightly then. Thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] zeketorrence:
Does anyone know how to get this to work with the tf300t? The newest cleanrom inheritance 2.52 works with the tf300t natively now. When I try to flash the data2sd for cleanrom along with the universal kernal I get an encryption error. I realize this is a TF700 forum but if anyone has any experience with this I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
encryption error is problem with your card. Reformat the card then try again, most likely it will not work. Then do the following:

1. reformat the card

2. make nandroid backup

3. wipe system, internal and format data

4. reinstall cleanrom 2.5.2, let it boot up, don't setup, boot back into twrp

5. flash data2sd kernel, reboot

6. boot back into twrp and disable journaling (by default this things should be disabled, but it's not).

Done

New to Transformer Modding

Hi guys I am new to the forum and total newb to do any modding. So I am getting a class 10 card in a few days and I have no clue what to do.

Right now my tablet is stock JB. Bootloader is still locked. I havent mod anything to it. So if anyone can kindly post step by step guide for me to follow I would greatly appreciate it. I was reading through the instruction on the first page and I am already lost.. lol. I don't really care what rom I flash into as long as it have that usb to PC option. Any MiniSD card I should avoid? or is the tablet compatible with all class 10 cards?

Thanks again!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Follow this link for detail instruction. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1834521

If you want a fast smooth transformer do the following:

1. Unlock

2. Flash custom recovery (TWRP)

3. Flash CleanRom de-odex version 2.5.2 (2.5.3 release soon) with Clemsyn OC kernel, this thing makes your device flies.

4. Once you get to know how to do things, then you can go for data2sd mod (this will add another engine to your device).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jeebley:
I soft-bricked my device about a month ago using this. Finally had time to fix it. My main question is what cards are known to work with this mod? I've been trying to use a class 10 uhs sandisk card but I cannot seem to get this to not bootloop.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dcun201:
Thank You. I will start with that first. My only gripe with the tf700 is the browsing experience really lags. The browser stutter while it loads anything. So I would think Data2sd is probably the only fix for it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Nope, with cleanrom and clymsyn kernel, nothing lag, but super fast, data2sd is a added bonus while multitasking, but normal use ....NO LAG WITHOUT data2sd.

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Data2sd is pretty reliable, if you do it right.

1. Format your card with Gparted software (very important to use this, nothing else)

2. Insert card, boot to twrp and wipe system, internal, format data

3. Install Clean rom, bootup, don't do setup, boot back into twrp

4. Flash data2sd_clemsyn kernel. Done

Did you have journaling disabled when your device boot loop?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jeebley:
I partitioned using minitool. I couldn't get gparted to work. I can be a little dense so I may need some explicit detailed instructions to get gparted to work. Also, I'm not entirely sure how to disable journaling - I thought Cleanrom 2.3 and 2.4 did this already?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
That's explains it, mini-tool WILL screw up your card.

Download the Gparted image file, then use imageburn and burn the image to cd. Put cd in your pc and boot to the cd, you will see gpart OS load up and you will see the gui and pretty much self explaintory after that.

Download gparted iso:

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php

Download imgburn from here:

http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

Then burn gparted image to CD using imgburn software. Make sure your pc support Sdcard slot (best way), usb adaptor (50/50).

If you have question during the process, just PM me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jeebley:
Will do. I'm using a 64 gig Sandick ultra. Any known issues with it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
should work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] PsychoSane:
Any opinions on which 32gb or 64gb card would be the ultimate for this particular mod? I want this thing to offer the highest possible performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Nope, the both the same, so you just want to focus on how big a storage you would like. I keep half for my regular storage like backup files, zip files, pictures, videos and the other half for my apps, of course you can slice anyway you like.
[Asus Transformer TF700] paddycr:
Is disabling journaling essential for this to work or is it just something that speed things up a bit? Also, is running this step necessary since OP states that the data2SD zip will do this? Finally, is there any risk of disabling journaling and if so would there be a significant loss of performance by turning it back on? Thanks for this write up BTW :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
I spent a good portion of the last 2 days trying to improve the internal disk access via the method I previously mentioned. It is not working well, at least on CM10. I wanted to hold off on updating the mod for newer ROMs until this enhancement is in place, but I have decided to abandon it for now. I am spending today with family and should have more mods tomorrow.

When I recovered I recovered back to stock ICS firmware. Before I recovered I had no problem with adb (or fastboot for that matter). I noticed my bootloader looks a little different than it did before and adb (and fastboot for that matter) can no longer detect my device.

I have been running CleanRom 2.4 with the correct data2sd mod and the correct custom data2sd kernel for about 2 weeks now.

in the last several days my Infinity has been doing random reboots, sometimes once a day, other days as much as 5 to 6 times in one day.

It has been running smooth and fast with no issues up until several days ago. I have tried the following with no success.

1. Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache

2. Fix Permissions.

3. Reboot without SD Card, then reboot again with SD Card

4. bumped up my CPU voltage via Set CPU

5. Ran Gparted to fix my EXT 4 partition

I normally experience reboots when the screen is off. someone please help. I would prefer not to have to factory reset and

have to reinstall all my apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Have you try disable journaling? Usually reboot caused by journaling.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
how do you disable journaling without doing factory reset or reinstall?

Read fordwolden's post, third post from the top. HERE.

Actually, read ALL of both threads. There is a LOT of info there pertaining to the data2sd mod.

Brad
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You can do this through your computer using adb command.

open up command promp and navigate to where adb.exe located on your pc.

Type:

adb shell then hit enter

First you want to check to see if it's enabled or disabled by type:(you can copy and paste from my post.

tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 | grep features then hit enter

If you don't see the result with "has_journal" in it, it's already disabled. If you see the word "has_journal" then proceed below:

Type each line or copy and paste from my post and hit enter for each line you enter.

umount /data hit enter

umount /sdcard hit enter

e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 hit enter

tune2fs -O ^has_journal -c 1 -i 1d -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 hit enter

To verify it's disabled correctly type

tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 | grep features

If you don't see the result with "has_journal" in it, you did it
[Asus Transformer TF700] dcun201:

[Asus Transformer TF700] joe1l:
Mistar Muffin I have been very happy with the cm10 11 - 11 nightly and clemsyn overclock io2 setup. Imho i am more interested in getting the newest clemsyn overclock kernels for data2sd than the latest cm10 nightly. I have a preorder of the Nexus 10 that is looking less attractive by the day because of this model.

Either way I hope you and your family enjoy the holiday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
awesome, i tried installing ADB drivers with no success. i looked in my windows 8 device manager, under asus android devices, i see an asus android composite ADB interface, but when i got into ADB it says error: device not found. I tried booting into fastboot, apx, not showing up, but when i boot into the OS fully my 700 shows up in the adb devices. i used the universal driver.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
If you don't have adb working you could do this through TWRP:

DISABLE JOURNALING using TWRP

** To check see if you need to disable or not:

type:

tune2fs -l mmcblk1p2 | grep features

Proceed if the results show the word "has_journal"

1) Go to Advanced/Terminal Command

2) Navigate to the /dev/block folder and press "Select Folder".

3) Enter the following commands in the Terminal Command window from the thread you referenced:

umount /data

umount /sdcard

tune2fs -O ^has_journal -c 1 -i 1d -m 0 mmcblk1p2

NOTE: First “O” is Capital O and second “0” is Number 0. Also note that, unlike the thread description, you don't need to reenter /dev/block.

tune2fs -l mmcblk1p2 | grep features

If you don’t see “has_journal” in the resulting output, the journaling is disabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
Thanks alot! was able to disable journaling via TWRP, you are a lifesaver! no reboots yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Bought the 64gb Samsung Class 10 Pro UHS-1 SDXC (70mb read) in order to use with data2sd. Can't get it to work properly :( altough it works a bit better then the Extreme Pro. A lot of data corruption after using data2sd

I have a question to anyone who s done this tweak: how much of a difference r we talking bout here? Im not just talking benchmark results but actual use... is the difference really noticable vs cleanrom 2.4 with no data2sd?

I just ordered 32 gb sandisk class 10 micro sd card so i wanted to know what to expect so i dont hope for exagerated results and be disapointed

Thx!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] marawan31:
I also have another question. The homescreen data is stored in system dir? If so wouldnt it be better to also mount the whole system dir on sdcard? And also dont apps also use the system dir to access files? I dont really know what dir are used but i feel like the data dir is not the only dir used by this tablet when running because games for example download their data to different dir like android/obb (for nfs most wanted and others). Could anyone explain this to me? I dont know much about this and i like learning :)

Thx
[Asus Transformer TF700] RaMcHiPTech:
Don't expect to much on daily driving but when it comes to games, very noticeable!
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
Having the /data on a different "drive" and separate from the /system "drive" is exactly what helps with the performance. So totally moving ALL of the operating system to another media would be counter intuitive. In a nutshell, this mod splits the I/O duties between the internal storage and the microSD, thus improving performance. Kind of like reading from one, while writing to another and vice versa. One drive isn't doing all the work.

This is common practice with desktop computers and servers for that matter.

Conversely, the limiting factor isn't only the "drive's" read and write capability, but at some point the throughput of the controller (what controls the drives and the amount of data that it can pass through it to each drive) can become the bottleneck itself, regardless of how fast the drives are....or aren't.

The next possible step in this evolution could be to .....have the /data mounted to the microSD card, the /system mounted to the internal storage, and say have /data/media mounted to the dock's SD card slot. Of course doing this would mean never being able to use this in "tablet only mode"....theoretically, it could boost perfomance even more.

I hope this helps you understand why this works.

Brad
[Asus Transformer TF700] joe1l:
Honestly it has made a world of difference. The tablet is smoother, and much more responsive . Data2SD has made my TF700 more useable than any other mod or rom I have tried. It has breathed new life into this tablet. I use it more than I ever did since doing this mod.
[Asus Transformer TF700] marawan31:
Edit: just read the post above answered by question about the difference the mod does

Yes it really does thanks alot!! ok so we dont even know maybe the internal memory is fast but the connection is slow so by spliting the work between 2 cards we remove the pressure of the connection. Thats what i got. i always wondered what kind of card is the internal memory of tablets and smartphones? Is it also a micro sd or an sd or a totally different kind?

In the end will this mod completly remove the i/o issue or will it only improve it?

Thx again for your help
[Asus Transformer TF700] RaMcHiPTech:
Nice thanks a lot! I want to get into modding a bit more. I really love the androwook 1.4 build with clemsys and data2sd. I am pulling 6500's in quadrant with that combo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It's an eMMC (embedded MMC) - technically similar to a (micro)SD card, but in a different physical package and directly soldered onto the mainboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
Most welcome. I suspect that the limitations we see with random read and write I/O performance is more to do with the memory and not the controller, but probably a combination of both. This mod only serves to minimize the effect....and does it quite well. :D I think most people see random write speeds improve by well over 100%. A tremendous gain by any standard. In real world experience, what it translates into is that apps, games, media presentation are much more responsive.
