Just like that! Never heard that someone had a problem if he/she followed the instructions to the letter.

Be aware though, that Cromi 3.4.7 is a dead end since it's based on JB 4.1.

The new clean rom is Cromi Xenogenesis. Look for the thread and follow the instructions in the OP.

Floating browser actually runs outstanding. It has begun to be implemented into B2R. With so many browsers without the B2R there have been a bit of mistakes, and most are solved. Keep a watch for sbdags to post an update to B2R in the next day or two.

Now resizing and such is not smoother, but loading pages and scrolling on it is super smooth, which is what counts for it.

Boot image

Hello,

I'm trying to manually install Linux on my TF700 following this guide :

http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Debian.

Where can I find boot.img (or zImage) in this ROM ?!?

I searched for it in the Aroma Archive, in the Kernel Only Installer, in the system itself but I can't find it !

Thanks for your help.

PS : Is it per chance de Blob file I found in this post ? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38797590&postcount=194

Dual Boot

Hi guys,

I´m new and I would like to have the latest information thread about dual boot on TF700+dock. I´m talking about latest rom information and latest ubuntu version.

Could recomend me the latest information.?

Thank you,:good:

Hi guys, is anyone else having trouble downloading the ROM? I very tried multiple times over the last 3 days, and the d/l fails after 30 seconds or so, kith inky a "download unsuccessful ' error. Tried both links for to Deodex version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It's probably no longer on the host site. CROMi is quiet old - most people moved on to CROMI-X.

I just checked and 3.4.7 is about the only version I do not have anymore. I can offer you 3.4.6...

PM me and we can work out how you can get it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Sorry, that's right. I'd forgotten about CROMI-X, I'll find that one. Thanks.

I'm getting constant reboots trying to run a Tibu backup - doesn't seem particular to any part of the process - hangs on random apps during the backup then reboots - whether on balanced / econ / performance mode, wiped dalvik / cache, tried reinstalling cromi - nothing has worked so far. When verifying the backups there are about 50 apps that have errors - but nothing I can't really live without... just frustrating! I've not found anything on google except to try destroying market links... but the link on how to do that is also destroyed... :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like something got corrupted. Time for a clean install?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
LOL

Can't remember how often I have read or given that advice lately! It seems to be the only issue that's left on your ROM(s): Users flashing dirty too many times or scr**ing around with Data2SD or something else user induced ... your ROM is perfect..... or almost if I know anything about you... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
General Android troubleshooting procedure:

1. Find out what the problem is. Read/post logcat, dmesg or last_kmsg as appropriate.

2. Fix it.

3. When all else fails, wipe and/or reinstall.

Unfortunately, too many people start directly at 3, and we never gain more insight what exactly the problems are or how to fix them.

I've never had to reinstall or wipe since 9.4.5.22.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Did you write the backup to an exFAT-formatted SD card? (and if yes, why didn't you mention that before?)

[ 8615.738369] PC is at exfat_readdir+0x228/0x7ec [texfat]

The kernel crashes in the proprietary exFAT module. Maybe your card's filesystem is corrupt (use Windows chkdsk). And try to avoid proprietary and patent-encumbered filesystems like exFAT - it's hard enough to debug the kernel if sources are available, but nearly impossible with proprietary stuff.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
OK - yes, exFat, but this is the first time it's given me problems so never thought to mention it. I'll switch cards and run it again, thanks. It's the 64g sd card so thought you had to use exFat because of fat32 limitations.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Connect your tablet to your PC via USB and read this thread for some basics:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726238

(or search for "logcat howto" for dozens of more)

You should be able to get a logcat from the startup until the point where it hangs, the last lines before might give you an idea what the problem is.

AFAIK Max has added some code in his kernel that auto-disables fsync while the screen is on and you can't modify this behavior anyway - ask in his thread for details.

Personally, I am happy with my own near-stock kernel - it's not always completely lag-free, but very usable and stable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I second that. I ran Max's last kernel for a week. While it ran great at first, the tablet started to get progressively laggier so that I felt compelled to occasionally re-boot it.

I prefer _that kernel, it's stable and reliable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gixxer340:
I wonder if this means you should leave it enabled during the ROM installation then? I will check with him.

I downloaded v3 and v4 of yours as well to see if I can get it to work with them.

Dedication

To show appreciation for all the hard work and dedication put into CROMI X, I made a little something using my artistic ablities all done entirely on my TF700T! To whom it may concern, I do hope you all enjoy. Thank you for all you do and I will donate as soon as I can.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Just to follow-up - new SD card fixed the problem, thanks for the heads-up. Seemed to help the random reboots also. I read there was a bad batch of the sandisk ultra 64gb sd cards that many have had problems with, the new one has been good so far. I've gone back and forth between 347 and 469/470 cromi, but it's much easier to do so with a working tibu backup :good: On my tablet 347 is just much faster and lag free.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Trigster:
Soooo call me nuts if you want.

But about 4 months ago I decided to unlock and install this ROM, since then I have not updated or touched the ROM or the kernel.

Back then performance was pretty good. :good:

In the last two weeks the performance has kicked up huge time! Games that where horribly laggy are super smooth now, the (stock)launcher no longer stutters, its uber smooth.

Did someone just finally finally figure out how to properly code for the Tegra3? Or am I just going nuts? :laugh:

I have only been doing updates to apps nothing with the rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I would hope for you, it's the former! But probably it's the latter :))

I doubt that the stock launcher got an update, so you must have a self-improving ROM! Congratulations!

Or you are stuck in Performance Mode for some reason :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thread revival!

Oh oh guess what just booted on my TF700T!? Remember that? Guess what is coming next? :fingers-crossed:

BTW it's so smooth! :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well I have updated this ROM after 6 long months and it still holds up well. :) I was planning on using to test ROM2SD but it doesn't work that way due to kernel differences - however it still stands up on its own as a good, clean, fast ROM.

Please note that you can flash this over any of the Stock JB 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 Bootloaders. ;) Be aware that JB 4.1.1 doesn't have multi user support so it uses data slightly separately:

On JB 4.1.1 you have your internal sd mapped to sdcard0 which is:-

/storage/sdcard0 or mnt/sdcard

On JB 4.2.1 you have your internal sd mapped to sdcard which is:-

/storage/sdcard, /storage/emulated/0 or /mnt/sdcard

This means that if you go back to 4.2.1 from 4.1.1 you will need to clean up some folders. The easiest way to do this is delete:

everything EXCEPT 0, OBB and legacy from the /mnt/shell/emulated

If you decide to stay on 4.1.1 you will need to clean the 0 folder or migrate the data up.

Hope that makes sense: Enjoy :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Unfortunately it needs to be enabled in the kernel and that requires _that or hunds to go back and revisit their 4.1 sources. Then I can do it in the installer.

Agree though, I ran this updated version for a few days a while back and it is better than 4.2 in some respects. I sold my dock though so don't have to worry about that drain any more.

Oh and I am trolling about to return my TF701 with the dock connection problem or keep it and wait till they come with a solution.

Have to decide on monday.

Although when a rom2sd for this rom can be done maybe I will send it back.

When I use my TF700 docked the quality difference is so huge in favor of the tf700. The draining problem was just a big issue for me (specially when travelling).

Hi Guys,

I have bootloader (2.10 e) released by "US_EPAD-9.4.5.38-20120907" A03. I have rooted and unlocked from 4.0.3. I have partitioned a 32GB microSD with GParted to these two partitions 13GB Fat32 and 16gb ext4.

I have CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4.

When I try to install the 10.4.4.25 US Jelly Bean Bootloader, I received this message:

assert failed: write_raw_image("/data/media/blob", "staging")

E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/TF700t-US-JB-bootlader-only.zip.

(Status 7)

I have tried installing from both sdcard(internal) and sdcard1 and also tried the bootloader in the CROMIX thread and received the same error.

Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to install this bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmmm not sure if that version of CWM is compatible with ICS, Also this is a really old version of JB. You should try the latest version here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

Do you think if I flash this ROM it will fix my situation by updating the bootloader?

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I think you'll have the same issue. Is suspect your recovery is not compatible with your current bootloader.

Why don't you just flash the latest version of TWRP from fastboot? Get the correct version for the TF700 from the TeamWIN page.

Then from a PC command line in the fastboot folder as well as your TWRP blob names twrp.blob

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot bootloader
[Asus Transformer TF700] prepster6:
That did the trick! When it boots into Setup and asks for me to type anything, the keyboard is VERY large and I can only see half of the keyboard. I rebooted and the same issue persists.

One more thing, how does the Kernal Installer work? Do I just install that zip via TWRP? How do I modify which kernal is installed?

Also, I checked the CrossBreeder Entropy patch when installing your ROM. Would you recommend that or no?

I really appreciate all of your help. Once I get paid, I'm going to donate.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes the kernel installer works the same way. Are you now on CROMi-X 5.2.3? Did you flash the bootloader package first and reboot? Sounds like you are still on an old bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prepster6:
Silly me. I had installed 3.5. I followed your instructions and everything is fine now. Comparing this to my nexus 5 it`s kindof of slower. Ill mess around with the kernals to find the best speed/stability. Thank you for helping me out.

Big keyboard

Hi guys, i just have one problem, my keyboard its just so big, i can't even type in it ! Anyone have a solution for this ? :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Jeez! Did you look at the date of the last posts? This rom is ancient and there are much better options for this tablet - naturally from the same developer.

Your huge keyboard is probably due to the resolution you chose during installation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ric1487:
Okay, but what you recommend that is the same developer? I tried this and the truth is that it is really fast.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes this is really fast :) But it was old Jelly Bean and no one wants it any more. The problem will be in the soft keyboard you are using and the way they try to detect the screen size.

Which DPI did you choose? You may be forced to use 240dpi if you want the correct size.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ric1487:
I really like this ROM, was not choosing the correct DPI in the options. As soon as possible I will try again. You're right about the old Jelly Bean. You have some other ROM that I can use? Thanks a lot !!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Look in the dev forum or in my signature. I have lots of roms :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] alexrezv:

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Um - the last post in this thread before yours was from Sept. 2014. What does that tell you?

This is the black bar he's talking about:

And this is what the lock screen looks like if you have an app open like a browser:

I've got ADW EX, Nova, Apex, and Go EX launchers installed. All of them display the black bar except for Go EX, but I don't like the options in that launcher, so not going to use it. It doesn't matter which wallpaper you use, or how your resize it in the gallery, it still displays the black bar.

This black bar was

not

present in the factory stock, unrooted, locked state the tablet originally came in. It would be great if someone could help find a fix. It's just annoying.

Had to re-install CleanROM to install Asus Live Wallpapers and Asus My Frame, but it worked. Thanks. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sirus20:
If during installation is the launcher area you have selected stock launcher it works with no issues. If you have selected any other launcher by default it doesn't. So try to reinstall rom, with Asus myframe checked. Then let's say you used nova as your launcher hold your fingers in the home screen in the pop up menu select wallpaper then live wallpaper and select myframe. From there thought it's settings you select static wallpaper select the one you want and you are done. Myframe doesn't show up in the programs tab cause typicly it isn't. It's alive wallpaper with settings. That is the reason you don't see it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Hmm, interesting... I'm using CleanROM 3.0.4 with ADW EX and I do *not* get the black bar in portrait mode with ADW EX... Maybe a setting in ADW? Not sure, but I've found ADW EX to be the smoothest of them all, plus I don't get the "black bar"...

Strange... Are you using the latest version of ADW EX?
[Asus Transformer TF700] -BoneZ-:
Direct from the Play Store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'd suggest messing with the settings then because ADW EX definitely does not show the black bar in portrait mode on my TF700... And the animations are buttery smooth. At this point, I'm just using the stock kernel too - was using Clemsyns kernel, but found that it was interfering with the possibility of sync'ing more than 30 days of email for some reason and who knows what other issues it may be causing...

Hmm, I'm wondering now - are you using the stock kernel? If not, maybe try reverting to the stock kernel and see if your problem goes away (at least with ADW EX)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
i reflashed the rom, and this time i use ADW launcher, and the black bar disappeared. it's weird..
[Asus Transformer TF700] ghenarys:
Portrait wallpaper solution

1 - Select live wallpaper

2 - Select Asus Myframe

3 - Myframe Settings

4 - Choose only one picture

5 - Choose fixed wallpaper

6 - Change every one hour (it will never change cause you have only one)

7 - Enjoy :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] -BoneZ-:
Using the 1.5-1.8 Kernel. Either way, radio.static and ghenarys' method works perfectly.

I don't care for ADW launcher anyway. I prefer the options and settings in Apex, which is what I use on my phone and tablet.

Thanks for the help. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
If I were more experienced with this tablet I would take you up on your offer , Sorry. Plus, I have TWRP not CWM:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Ahh - I'm wondering if this (the black bar) is another "side-effect" of using the Clemsyn kernels... The only problem that I have with using a live wallpaper to display a "static" wallpaper is that I'm sure it consumes more resources. Even though it looks like a static wallpaper, it's still setup as a live wallpaper and I'm assuming that it would use more RAM and CPU, regardless of whether or not it's actually "live" or not... :)

But, I completely understand your decision and I'm glad that you found a work-around that works for you.

I am still curious if the black bar is a side effect of the clemsyn kernel or not though - anyone have any input on that? I guess I could try re-loading the clemsyn kernel and see what happens... If I eventually do that, I'll be sure to post my results.

To be honest, since I reverted back to the stock kernel, I've found performance to be excellent - would never know that I wasn't using the OC'd kernel anymore! Benchmarks are a little lower, but actual user experience seems the same, if not better. Battery life seems to be better as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
i used clemsyn kernel before, and the black bar showed up. i reflashed the rom again, still using the same kernel, just different launcher, and it worked fine. the black bar is gone...
[Asus Transformer TF700] -BoneZ-:
Just for poops and giggles, I reinstalled CleanROM again, this time selecting the stock kernel. The black bar remains.

I wiped data/factory reset. Installed the ROM, wiped cache/dalvik. Then installed the 3.0.4 patch, wiped cache/dalvik. Then booted.

Live wallpapers are "live" because some or all of the wallpaper is moving, i.e. "alive". A live wallpaper that has alot of movement will use more CPU than a live wallpaper that has very little movement. A static wallpaper is just that: static. Whether it's set up as a live wallpaper or not, it's still static, and thus there's nothing moving to use any extra CPU cycles.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mrmooc:
It seems as with any other transformer stock firmware' there is a Bluetooth audio delay. I know the audio lag is fixed when changing to cyanogen mod. is there anyway this can be fixed in cleanrom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] -BoneZ-:
I guess I'm going to have to put the 1.5-1.8 kernel back in. This tablet is lagging too much and it's starting to piss me off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jettubby:
Guys I've done a search and can't find an answer....

No matter what size I use for wallpaper or what program I use to set the wallpaper, in portrait mode about one third of the bottom of the screen is not covered by the wallpaper? It's just black. What gives? This is frustrating. I'm using the default dpi.

Thanks and merry Christmas!
