8mb won't be enough for nandroids. 8mb is basically a place holder for the first partition so the second partition, data, can be maxized.

OP was updated earlier :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] NaxIonz:
Oh, you're right! I was looking at only the bottom of the list
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, it can be use for Cleanrom 2.3 or 2.4
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Yes that was stupid of me. More like 2gb. Thanks you two! I certainly appreciate the help and I would have certainly made a mistake

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Appreciate it! So flash CM, the mod for CM and clemsyn cm kernel that's in the op. I'm definitely going to run clemsyn kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
If you are currently runing CM rom, and want to use clemsyn kernel, you just flash this clemsynTFUniversalCyano650GPUver1_IO2 (CM10) , however, I believe Clemsyn just released a new mod kernel, so this one is only for the old one (one version behind).

Can someone tell me an easy way or tool to change the DPI setting.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Oh yes I see! Time to flash until this damn mail man gets here. I've never seen the mail take until 6pm until today. It figures its my day off and I'm waiting with some excitement to get this going

I'm running Paranoid Android at the moment. Could I just wipe data then flash this kernel with my formated SD card and just set all my apps back up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Just boot into recovery and flash this http://d-h.st/pPe for your device to mount the stuff correctly, then wipe cache/davik cache the flash the new kernel. All your stuff (apps/settings) will be the same untouch.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
I really appreciate all your help. What about nandroids. Should I make a new one or will old ones restore the same. I guess what I'm asking is this mod is not at all altering any recovery stuff? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
It's alternated the mount point for the kernel, so if you using the old nanodroid backup you will lose the data2sd if you do a restore. Personally, I have a dock and a dock sd card to keep all my backup. I only backup the user download apps, you don't need to backup the system app. To recover you just flash the new rom (good practice anyway because it's fresh and updated), then restore just the user apps. If you decide to do nanodroid backup, boot into recovery and flash this http://d-h.st/pPe , this will create the correct mount point from the kernel o/s to the sd card instead of the internal memory, now you can run your nana backup. Remember this have to flash everytime you want to do a nano backup. After a reboot all this mount point will be gone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
ive never formated any sd card so have no idea on what to choose to split the sd card into two? has anyone recently formated there sd card using the program suggested by the OP? thanks

Edit. I think I got it. It's formating now.

Is the cyanofsync kernel the new version from today? Sorry guys I'm getting ready to do this and just want to be sure as I can be

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

I made my first partition D 2gb for backups as some helpful person suggested. My second partition is F. This one is the rest of the 32gb. I also formated this one in ext. 4. Am I good to go?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
I don't think you are ready yet. Read the thread and make sure you have it right :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
i read it several times! what did i get wrong. i think i did everything right besides setting the second ext.4 as active?both are primary but have no idead how to set it as active.i cant see the second part anymore because its in ext.4? i think. maybe i should do it over again and look for a way to set the second part as active
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Mike, make sure you used gparted software to do this, mini-tools is crap for this type of job.

Create the first partition=2gb formt with fat32, primary. not active

Copy cleanrom2.4.zip, cleanrom2.4_data2sd.zip and clemseykernel_data2sd.zip to this partition (you may need to use them later for recovery)

Now create the second partion = the rest of sd card and formatted with ext4, primary and active (it called boot, if using gparted)

Store the same 3 zip files in your internal memory and ready to flash.

If you already on cleanrom 2.4, then boot into twrp and flash the clemsyn_universalkernel data2sd. boot up your device.

that's it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
thanks. i cant see the second part anymore since i formated it in ext.4 i wanted to set it as active.ill look for gparted but im afraid i wont be able to see the second ext.4 part from my pc? im kind of pissed at myself for pisssing 50$ away
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Your pc can not see ext4 or even the first partition. don't worry this is normal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Your such a help I'm going to donate to you if you setup a link. I found gparted. It's 133mb?

Do you know of a way I can start over with gparted? Can't format the majority of my card as you know. I can only format the small 2gb part if i need to?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I'm willing to help people for FREE, just like others helped me a while back. Don't worry about it. Ok back to the topic

Gparted is a mini unix/lenix OS, so yes it's 133meg. This is an ISO image, so what you can do is use a free cd burner called image burner (imgburn) and burn Image to cd. Now you have a bootable cd. Next config your pc to boot from cd instead of harddisk, put in the cd and power on your pc, it should boot into gpart, just hit enter to except everything. Finally it will give you the gui interface where you can use your mouse to do thing. Good luck bro. If you need more help just pm me instead.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
I've already formated it and I'm just not savy enough to do this. I'm going to end up bricking my tablet. You've been extremely helpful. I'm very grateful for all your help. I have no disk and don't know how to burn the image onto disk. I appreciate everything but this is to much for me at this time so I'm going to chalk the SD card at a loss and give up.

I did everything suggested in the OP besides setting the second ext. 4 part as active. Both are primary. If the tool is not dependable ill just stop as I already went through the process. Once again you've been great so thanks for being so helpful!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Oh, come on you almost there, just copy the image to a usb or something and ask someone to burn to cd for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
OK ill stop being a big wuss and try now. I do have a usb drive. You restored my faith in people :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
I wanted to mention that a nandroid might be a great way to migrate your current setup to the data2sd. If someone wants to try this, I would be curious to know how it turns out.

Prerequisites:

1) Be running a ROM that is not using data2sd.

2) Create your microSD card with partition 2 as ext4.

Steps:

1) Boot to recovery and take a nandroid.

2) Flash my zip from post #2 (mount-data2sd.zip).

3) Restore nandroid from step #1.

4) Flash data2sd modification zip for whichever ROM you are using.

5) Profit?

This may allow you to boot into the ROM with all of your settings and apps intact.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Getting stuck in a bootloop.Its strange because it boots but goes into bootloops over and over.i can start putting in my info for a couple seconds before it bootloops.went back in recovery and wiped both caches and fixed permissions but nothing works.trying it on the CM10. i flashed the rom.flashed the data to sd CM zip when this happened.i guess the tool didnt format correctly? Does anyone know how to recover my sd card now that its ext.4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Ok here is the results

1. Boot to recovery and take a nandroid - backup to both internal and SDcard -good

2. Flash zip mount-data2sd - good

3. Restore android - little issue here, only see backup on external sd card, can't see internal backup. So in this case I need to put in my dual partition sdcard and backup on this card, not the reqular sdcard. So before step 1, I must put in the dual partition sdcard first then do the nandroid backup

4. Flash dat2sd mod clemsyn kernel - good

5. Reboot - yes all my setup is now back using data2sd setup.

Nice process.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Hey bud I think I got it. I sent you a PM. Sorry guys I've been at it all day and will continue to talk to my buddy through a PM so I don't jack the forum up anymore then I already have! Sorry guys!
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Sorry forgot to post. Does this look ok
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Thanks to buhohitr I'm running. You have no idea how much I appreciate your patience and help! Your such a good person and I think this is one of those what goes around comes around. I helped many people with even more noob stuff and the universe put you in my path :D

I'm so grateful and will help the next man as much as you helped me!.

I think this should be standard in the OP since it works perfect. I tried the OP version to a T and ended up with 4 partitions that were not able to see unless using gparted. Using Windows all you see is two partitions both set as primary and it looks like everything is good?

I'm very grateful and notice the speed immediately! This community is beyond great and I love you all:beer:

Thanks mistar muffin. Your transforming our device into a real device

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

What I pleasant experience. I'm puzzled. If this problem dates back to the Prime. Why in hell wouldn't asus just spend 2 more bucks and put a quality sd card in the tablet? Performance is so much better you would think they wouldn't want to hurt there reputation and would have learned when releasing the Prime. It's actually amazing just how much better it is. Donating tomorrow morning! Thanks I love my device now
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
Reboots

So i followed the instructions in the OP. Created a FAT32 partition as partition1, then created a EXT4 partition, labeled it as partition2, then set the EXT4 partition to primary and active. I then flashed mount2sd, then did data and cache wipe, formatted system, then installed CleanRom 2.4, flashed, data2sd for CleanRom 2.4, booted into Android, got to the welcome screen, then rebooted and wen into a boot loop, after a few loops it booted into the welcome screen, i was able to get all the way in to the point where i sign into google, then went into a boot loop a few times, went to the same point, then did the same. please help, i couldnt find the answer in this post.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hundsbuah:
I did it following:

I had installed CleanRom 2.3 normaly on my internal 32GB storage.

I formatted my 64gb class 10 sd card with 2 partitions: Partition 1 has 32MB FAT32 and Partition 2 has the rest of the size with ext2 (not ext4) filesystem. mark/set it as boot (this is active if you work with gparted)

i inserted my sd card in my tab and botted into recovery. i did a cache wipe and a dalvik cache wipe and then i installed data2sd mod. after reboot into system, i got the welcome screen and everything was fine.

Another Question:

What do i have to do, when i want to try CM10 for example and im on cleanrom 2.3 with data2sd fix and installed TWRP fix from data2sd.

Is that correct to change to CM10?:

- Flash again the original TWRP

- Flash original Asus Image

- Flash again the original TWRP

- Flash CM10 Image

- Flash Kernels

is that correct? Or can i do it without installing the original asus rom.

Dont want to brick my device, and i dont have a nvflash backup ( upgraded too fast to jb bl ;(... )
[Asus Transformer TF700] J5684:
Same thing happened to me, best thing to do is start over.

Format tablet, both system and data

Repartion sd card, fat32 first and ext4 2nd... set both partions to primary, none active

Flash rom

Flash proper data2sd file

Wipe cache/ dalvik

Reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You don't install Cleanrom after flash mount2sd. This will screw up your cleanrom installation. To reverse the process, reflash cleanrom 2.4, this will remove your data2sd setup. boot up, don't do any setup, boot back into recovery, do a factory reset, flash mount2sd, and do all the wipe include factory reset, reboot the system, verify that you are back to normal(internal is internal and sd is sd card, only one /data, and only one /sdcard directory). Now boot back into twrp then flash data2sd for cleanrom. boot up you should be runing cleanrom with data2sd and cleanrom stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

You should do the following:

1. Reflash cleanrom 2.4 (This will erase your data2sd stuff), the let it boot up then boot back to twrp)

2. twrp flash cm10 (now you are runing cm10)

3. Flash your data2sd for cm10 or clemyn kernel for cm10
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
Thanks Guys! got it to boot up fine using the ext2 file system, also flashed CleanRom before i flashed mount2sd. Benchmarks dont appear to be any higher than they were before i flashed data2sd. is this normal? i looked at my file directory. my data is still located at /data. shouldnt it be /sdcardi/data?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You should have:

/data

/data2

/sdcard

/sdcardi
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
I see all of those, but my benchmarks arent any better than they were before i flashed data2sd for Clean Rom 2.4

I also flashed the Clean Rom 2.4 data2sd overclock kernel
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You set to performance mode in Asus settings? what is your quadrant benchmark? Do you feel it smoother after data2sd?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
Yes i set to performance mode, so CPU is running at 1800mhz. Quadrant is 5831.

Im pretty sure data2sd worked cause when i pull my SDCard my tablet reboots and comes up with unsusccessful

encryption, then when i put the sdcard in and reboot, no issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
My benchmarks are just slightly higher but the experience is 100% better. You can actually download apps and use the tablet
[Asus Transformer TF700] kingo08:
I know Its a silly question :fingers-crossed: but can I use the internal memory for media ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Bingo! I found that data2sd only give you about 100-200 quadrant score gain, but the smoothness is noticable!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tron1980:
Yeah, much smoother. When i first flashed CleanRom i thought,"this is so fast and smooth," had no idea the potential I unlocked by flashing data2sd! Apps download and install instantly! loving it! web browsing is faster and smoother and general tablet functionality went through the roof.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
Just as a side note, you may want to check that journaling on the microSD was disabled successfully.

To do that, boot to recovery, launch ADB on your PC

at a command prompt:

type: adb devices (this will force start the adb service and give you feedback that your device is actually seen by adb.

type: adb shell (this will start a dialogue that will allow you to "remote into" the adb system on the device. You will see some strange looking characters at the prompt, this is normal)

type: tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 | grep features (this will only do a check and output the params for the 2nd partition of block 1)

If you don't see "has_journal" in the output all is good. If you DO see "has_journal"; journaling was not disabled and you can do it manually. Leaving it enabled can cause some stability issues and boot loops.

to disable journaling manually: give fordwolden's (3rd post from top) original post a read on Data2SD and disabling jounaling.

Cheers,

Brad

between these two, an "adb shell" is missing. :)

+1 I would tell others if they are not sure it's working.Just know that I tried and my first time around and it was not good. I ended up in a boot loop. I tried a second time and it would boot then go back into an infinite boot loop, booting into the system the back out. With some help from my buddy here, helping me all the way using (GPARTED) I finally got it. So if your not sure and everything is stable your good! Another way is experience. Download apps and use the tablet. You'll notice its much smoother and the experience is totally different. I'm very grateful! I really like this tablet now.

Now if they could improve the GPU code some so we can play games without lag but this would be for another topic. :D

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

I must have entered that (tune2fs -I /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 I grep features)

Line 20 times in recovery with no luck .

I navigated to my adb directory. Ran (adb devices) I seen daemon started successfully and then ran the line. I couldn't see anything it would say no such directory or something like that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Connect your device to your pc using usb cable. Boot your device to twrp. When you see the home screen of twrp, go to your pc and open your adb and type:

adb shell hit enter, you are going to see a weird characters displayed, just ignore and continue type

tune2fs -I /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 I grep features hit enter you should see the results

[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Use Gparted to repair the ext4 partition, you should be be able to recover without loosing your data.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
You have to boot your PC with the disc inserted and also your CD-Rom must be set as first boot device (you can set that in the BIOS)

GPARTED seems to be the only way to properly format an ext. 4 file system. I was fortunate to get lots of help or else I wouldn't have figured it out. To save a bunch of confusion and time I think it would be awesome to just suggest GPARTED in the op
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
gparted runs in linux.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
Just put the disk in and restart your PC. Go through the beginning setup. Most Won't apply to you. You will eventually get to the place where you can make both partitions. I highly suggest doing it all over again if you used mini tool. The awesomeness will be coming soon!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Gparted doesn't disable fsync, what i can see in your previous post is an error, that is not the expected result.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

? Yes I don't know what happened.

All I said was Gparted is the only way to properly format an ext 4 file system from Windows? I also never had to disable journaling when using this tool.

I know Gparted has nothing to do with fsync. I looked and don't see anything from me saying anything about fsync? Strange if you see it. Maybe a glitch
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I think you mistyped:

It's -l like larry, not I like internal.

| is shift key and hit "\" key.

Easiest way just just copy my line below and paste into your cmd window.

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

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Put your cd in and reboot your computer, your computer should boot from cd into gparted. If it does not, then you have to hit F2 when you pc started to boot, this put it in the bios mode and look for boot sequence, modify the boot order so it will boot from cd first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rmkbow:
Hm.. I kept getting boot loops (sometimes partway through setup) if I had the second partition formatted to ext4. It appears to be working as ext2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mike216:
That happened to me. You can't successfully format in ext. 4 with mini tool. I successfully formated using (Gparted). I started all over and was even able to see the ext. 4 partition I made with mini tool. I would get Gparted. Burn it to disk. Load it up and format the two partitions all over again. With some help I successfully did this yesterday and everything is working perfect for me.

I was downloading some large files and got stuck in a un boot able boot loop? Everything was going great. This sucks because the device was amazing. Anyone know what could possibly fix this. I used gparted and I'm certain I formated two partitions just fine. I disabled jourynaling?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bradslinux:
Couple of things to try....

Boot to recovery, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, fix permissions, and try a cold boot.

Cold boot is the little android icon to the right of the recovery icon when you give it the 2 fingered salute startup.....(one on power, one on down volume). This may not help, but it can't hurt.

I doubt it's a partition issue, sounds like you got that one down cold.

<fingers crossed>
