I decided to try convert my tf700 from CM10 Data2sd to clean rom3.03 on data2sd. I tried everything to get it working with no luck.. i wiped it using mount2sd method multiple times and still i couldnt dnt get it to boot up. I finally decided to try something different. i removed the sd card and loaded on my pc running Ubuntu. i manually removed the system and data directories (need to be logged in pc as root). i then flashed cr3.03 and cr3 data2sd and finally success.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kick4U:
cache clarification

Hate sounding like a broken record, but TweakerL stated in his original post about data2sd the cache was mounted to a third partition of the externalSD. Since only two partitions are required in this mod, and it has been stated the cache is on the externalSD, I am led to believe that the cache is mounted to the ext4 partition.

Does the TWRP mountdata2sd zip mount the cache to externalSD also?

Having the cache on a separate device than the data will allow more throughput by reducing any bottlenecks.

Ps- Here's the points described by TweakerL

Code:

# TweakerL MOD > original mount = mmcblk0p8 /data | mmcblk0p3 /cache
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Deleted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I have never seen the cache used for anything than communicating with the recovery. Are you sure you don't mean dalvik-cache?

Your write speed indicates you turned off fsync - this means you are measuring the speed of your RAM, not of any storage device. A fast sdcard could help for improving reading performance though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kick4U:
cache use

If it's used by Play Music to save tracks to hear when offline, this IMO would be great to have on the internal memory.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Are you asking about /cache? this is only used for temp download OTA. The application cache is located in the data/data folder which already on sdcard. So I believe save tracks should be on your sdcard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
Dang it. Back to random reboot after loading clemsyn650ver2. Haha. Maybe I should've just left it alone. K back to wiping again and starting over.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Two questions:

1. Developer Settings are greyed out. Is this normal?

2. Do we lose the ability to use the internal storage space previously occupied by the original data petition? My internal SD card used to be 32 gig, and now it is 16.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
1. No it's not normal. When you hit "developer settings" on the top right hand side there is a on button, did you try that?

2. what is your micro sdcard size?
[Asus Transformer TF700] FearlessSpiff:
So how is CleanRom 3.0.3 compared to CM10? Is it worth the switch? A lot of performance improvements?

Thx!
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
1. OK, I now know about the ability to turn Developer options on and off - never needed to use that button before, they were always on. So that is solved, thank you.

2. My Micro SD is 16 GB, with a 1 GB FAT32 partiion and a 15 GB EXT4 partition. I think I now understand this:

/data2 is my 32 GB internal SD Card, and sdcardi is the Media folder (that I cam use for storage of files, videos, etc) on that card.

/data is my 15 GB MicroSD EXT4 partition, and sdcard0 is the Media folder (that I cam use for storage of files, videos, etc) on that partition.

/Removable/MicroSD is my 1 GB FAT32 partition.

Is that correct?

Finally, I am looking to replace my MicroSD with a bigger, faster one. If I do so, I can just copy the files from the current MicroSD FAT32 and EXT4 partitions to the new corresponding partitions on the MicroSD, yes?

Thanks for your work and assistance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
No worries, I would love to be able to make my own mods, however, I have no idea where to start, i spent 4 hours researching how different filesystems and partitioning setups work, i really try to learn how to do everythng on my own and understand what it is im doing, but its not like it is easy to learn how to create your own mods, especially if you have zero background in compsci. If you could point me to some good books/websites it would be much appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, you got it. If you want to use a new 32 or 64gb micro sdcard, you only can transfer the fat32 data to your new card, but ext4 is your apps,system apps, there is nothing value you can copy and your apps won't work if you copy them. You should use Tibu to create a full backup of your apps, reinstall the OS from scratch, then enable data2sd setup then recover from Tibu or use twrp to create a full backup. I suggest use twrp to create a full backup of your setup. To do this boot into twrp, flash the "mountdata2sd" zip file, then select backup. Once done, turn off your device, put in your new dual partitions sdcard, boot into twrp flash the "mountdata2sd" then restore, now you should have all your setup back on the new card.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
I can't seem to get Multi-Picture Live Wallpaper working with this mod installed - I have tried using a pictures folder on sdcard0, sdcardi, and Removable/MicroSD.

Has anyone been able to get MPLW working with a pictures folder after installing this mod?

If so, can you please give me the path to the pictures folder you are using?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmmusale:
Somehow I am still not able to get this working. I also tried above installing CROM with data2sd without restoring, but it didn't work. So I tried restore option.

1. Installed CROM 3.0.3 with 3.0.4 patch. Everything was working correctly.

2. Rebooted to twrp and took backup of rom. Rebooted and moved that backup to external SD card (first partition is 32GB fat32, second partition is 32GB ext4)

3. Again rebooted to twrp. I wiped everything, cache, dalvik, system and data using twrp.

4. Flashed mountdata2sd.zip

5. Selected restore and restored my backup (Data restore was not complete after 6 hrs, so next time I tried with System and Boot restore only)

6. Flashed data2sd_CRI_3.0.3rom.

7. Rebooted.

I tried above steps multiple times and it's still giving me bootloop error. I am not sure where I am going wrong. Can anyone help?

CROM 3.0.3 is better than stock rom but I still see some lag. I tried CM10, 10.1 and liquidsmooth. I only found liquidsoomth better that all these roms but development for it now stopped for upcoming 4.2.

My expectation is with these custom roms is that there will not be any lag (My SGS III with CM 10.1 is flawless). Is anyone getting flawless experience from any of these roms?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I think something is funky with your twrp, the restore should only take less than 5 min at most. It's not normal for a restore to run for 6hrs, when you did a backup make sure you leave it by default, no recovery or cache and on the same screen make sure "using external sd" is highlighted. Try to fix this issue first before attempt to go on to data2sd. If still not working try to reinstall twrp using goomanager. And 1 important fact, you do have the latest JB .23 bootloader right?? if not you need to flash Asus full firmware .23 (if you never flash this, you don't have the latest JB .23 bootloader and CRI 3.03/3.04 are based on this, maybe this is why you have lagging), then reinstall twrp through fastboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmmusale:
I used default options for back-up using twrp. I made sure external SD is used.

I initially had CWM but switched to Twrp using goomanager app.

I have latest JB .23 bootloader. I bought this tablet last week with JB preinstalled and immediately received update from Asus which I installed.

Seems I clicked right notes but still not able to hear music.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
The only 2 things left are your card and twrp. Did you format your card with Gparted? If I'm you I would try either or both reformat your card or reinstall twrp. You should able to backup or restore in less than 5min.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmmusale:
Already did formatting multiple times using MiniTool. Set partition primary and active as well. Backup doesn't take much time nor the normal restore. Restore on microsd after mount2sd zip takes forever. I tried without data (only system and boot) and was able to restore, but reboot went into loops. Saw android set-up screen for few seconds only. :(

Only thing left is re-installing twrp which I will try tonight. But I don't think it's a issue as everything else works with twrp.

Thanks for your guidance though.

Just download Gparted image and burn to CD, then boot your windows to cd and now you have Linus Gparted.

Boot to twrp flash mountdata2sd zip, then flash the upgrade, once done reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
Ok after several hours trying to fix my bootloop I've finally given up on minitool and dug up my usb drive and tried gparted via usb. Created ext4 partition just 1 time and did everything just 1 time and I was able to get things working again and no bootloop. If you guys are having bootloop I really suggest using gparted and dont waste anymore time. So far I've tried loading different kernel and still working. Although for me to see the internal 32gb I had to use cleanrom 3.0.3 data2sd version since I am using CROMI 3.0.3. I havent updated to 3.0.4 yet as I really dont need advance reboot menu. But if I were to upgrade I would the same route as the poster before me.

Thanks again to everyone that's helped me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You should upgrade to 3.0.4. The two patches for 3.0.3 provided smooth scrolling and APM mod. The 3.0.4 patch included both 3.0.3 patches with a smoothness governor tweak added.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
I

I updated the internal while I was trying to figure out my reboot but didn't notice a lot of improvements so I didn't bother updating the ext4 after I got data2sd working again. Ill try again.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

I've updated a few apps and want to back up. How can I back up my ext4 rom to the fat32 partition? If I do regular backup it would backup my internal rom and not the ext4 but if I do mountdata2sd prior to back up it will back up the ext4 rom into the ext4 partition. Is there a way?

I guess I could let it back up to ext4 partition and just transfer it over via file explorer. But in the event I run out of room in ext4 partition later down the road I'm probably screwed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes flash mountdata2sd, then run a backup to the fat32 partition, you only need to keep about 2-3 backups, so if you have 3gb for the fat32, you should be fine. Do you have a dock keyboard?
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
Oh ok I assumed if I did mountdata2sd then the back up would go in the ext4 partition. Thanks. And ya I have a kb dock.

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Also I updated to 3.0.4 by doing mountdata2sd then first patch then mountdata2sd again then 2nd patch. I also updated the internal by not doing mountdata2sd. Then flashed cleanrom3.03data2sd just to make sure it boots up from ext4. But not everytime I hold the power button then it reboots to nexus logo. Tried flashing again but same result

Gonna go back to 3.0.3 for now...
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Ok, then you could move all the stuff to your sdcard in the dock. I only keep 2 recent backups and about 4-5 rom/kernel zips on my fat32. Mine fat 32 is 5gb and the rest for ext4 out of 32gb sdcard.

this is what bothers me though (see screenshot) when i ran androbench stock it was reading around 20mb/s and writing 10 now look at it. performance is great. antutu says my i/o is up over 150 points. so idk, im in japan, about to go to bed lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
thats just slightly higher then me using no data2sd
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan.kels.r:
yeah but one thing ive learned is every device is different. so imagine what you could get with it lol. that being said, if you arent experiencing the bottlneck and hiccups and sporadic lag that some of us have, then id say why bother. plus i seem to have lost the internal memory with each flash of this version of datatosd. probably just doing somehting wrong i guyess
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
yet still it keeps surprising me over and over that an, in this case, asus tablet with supposedly same hardware in it is giving so many different results.

so far im not experiencing negative hiccups or just not bothering myself to care about it :cyclops:

yes stock browser isnt always doing what is supposed to do but pffff just wait a sec longer :p

maybe little n00bish but with youre internal memory you are referring to the 1 Gb built in or youre internal SD
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan.kels.r:
no when i say internal memory i mean the 32gb of internal memory. i cant see it no matter what i do. so mod comes off tomorrow and clean rom 2.3 with clemsyn 1.8 kernel going back on with no mod until i can wrap my head around it i guess
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
Added to OP! I didn't test so let us know how it works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
Got the infinite reboot happen to me again. I shut down with the dock and an sd card connected. I must have hit reboot by accident because that's what it did and got an infinite reboot. The tablet had gone to sleep a few times in the dock too.

It's pretty annoying that you have to be careful about how you manage the dock to get this mod to work (at least according to flumpster). Going to do a hard wipe of my sd card and try again.

This is the 2nd 64 gb Micro SDXC card I've used for this mod. It worked pretty well for a day until I plugged it into the dock. Is there a way to fix dock issues through software?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I think most people are having issue with "Unsuccessful encryption" error message trying boot up with ext4 sdcard partition. I myself experiencing the same issue using mini-tool and Sandisk 32gb class10 uhs1. I have tried 3 cards and non are working (same error). I have a question in creating partition and formt with ext4.

1. After I created 1st partition with fat32, then second partition with ext4, after applied the changes, in mini-tool I only able to see the fat32 partition displayed, is this correct?? should I see both?

2. I also tried to create the first partion as unformatted and second as ext4, mini-tool only show the whole 32gb as unformatted??what the hell??

3. Create the entire 32gb as fat32, then resize down to 5gb for fat32, then create the second partion as ext4 and same thing, after applied the changes, mini-tool only see the first partition. Some how mini-tool can't see the second partion if it's ext4.

I search on google and I believe what I did is correct but some how when I put the card in and flashed the data2sd zip, I got the error "Unsucessful encryption". I have tried to 3 of the cards with no good results.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Oh man,forget about getting that card working with Moni Tool,i`ve had the same issue and i switched to Gparted,now everything is fine.If you don`t have Linux OS,use the LiveCD from here,it works.

Just remember to create first the FAT32 partition and then EXT4,then install Data2SD from recovery.

Ive downloaded Gparted from it's website. but in that ISO file, no exe files found.. so i don't know how to install it. pls help me if you can thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
I used the method below using a usb drive. Didnt have a way of burning a bootable CD so had to go this route.

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

Run the tuxboot exe from your PC while the USB drive is plugged in. Select the ISO file from within the tuxboot app and run it and it will extract all necessary files to the usb drive. When its done reboot your pc with the usb plugged in. Make sure your boot up sequence has USB drive on top of the hard drive. You can usually get to this by pressing F10 or DEL while your PC is booting up in one of the CMOS settings. Once it boots and sees the usb drive it will prompt the gparted initial setup. I just used all the default. Thats really it.

Tuxboot install instruction here

http://tuxboot.org/installation/

Your other option is to make and burn an iso cd rom. ISO files cant be run on their own like you can an exe file.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
MiniTool actually screwed my 32 GB microSD earlier today -- after removing the two partitions I had made on the microSD card in order to try that data2sd mod. I finally gave in to the temptation.

My 700 kept getting into a bootloop, too, no matter how I tried to wipe and flash according to the (pretty clear) instructions. MiniTool just reports "bad disk" now and I cannot do *anything* with it any longer, and Windows 8 x64 just pretends to make a simple volume (progression bars and all, hahaha!) but doesn't actually do anything. Frustrating...

I'll try GParted tomorrow, but I have a hunch I'll be buying a new card come Monday. Dunno if I have the guts to risk it again -- expensive little joke.

Decided to remove my post so it won't clutter this thread. This thread isn't the place for me to rant about certain people's immature idiocy...
[Asus Transformer TF700] schidddy:
so now after installing date2sd correctly (i'm obvious because my tf700 boots without any problems) and the pad shows the ext4 partition in memory settings, my internal memory has gone completly in windows explorer. The problem is that i dont see the 64gb internal memory on windows anymore.. how do acess the internal memory on windows again? After installing apps2sd , my power button is also doing strange things: after longpressing, it is doing a reboot directly. I think soemthing went wrong or is this normal behavior for apps2sd? How do i acess internal memory again on my pad on windows?

edit: on windows i do only see micro sd and sd card. the micro sd is the fat32 partition of my sdcard which contains the ext4 partition i made with gparted. the sd card is about 26gb of size which seems to be the ext4 partion of he 32gb sd card.

however if i do copy some music on the sd card, i can move it through es eplorer on the 64gb internal memory of my tf700.

.

hope u guys can help me out with this issue :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
When you say you cant see it in windows are you talking about USB mass storage with your PC? Your reboot when holding down power is probably due to you upgrading to 3.0.4 cleanrom. I had to downgrade to fix it. See my previous post in the previous page.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Thanks , Pretoriano80, for your feedback in here. I should have read that earlier -- As I said before, MiniTool gave me a bootloop as well. I'm going to try if Gparted is able to revive my microSD... :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] schidddy:
ok thx for te info about the powerbutton issue :) i am indeed on 3.0.4

yes u am talking about the mass storage on pc. Sorry if i explained myself unclear. :D

cant see the internal mem anymore, but only the sdcard i bought for this mod. i do find it really strange because before installing this mod internal mem was there but the ext4 partition not. Now internal is gone but i only see the fat32 and the ext4 partition... how is it possible to see a ext4 partition on windows explorer?? :confused::confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Because it's not really using the USB Mass Storage protocol, but MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). UMS works on block level, MTP works on file level - the ext4 access itself is still done by Android.

By the way, the internal "sdcard" is also on ext4, it's a FUSE wrapper for /data/media.
[Asus Transformer TF700] schidddy:
ok thx for explaining the matter :) Still the big questition is, how do i copy music (for example)directly on the internal 64gb mem? if i put it in "SD Card" (shown up in win8) it lands on the ext4 partition according to android os. i can only transfer the music on sdcardi with ES file explorer in android. sdcardi seems to be the 64gb internal mem, and if i copy the music to sdcardi, te internal mem fills up and space frees up on ext4...
