I didn't want to overwrite my existing CROMI 3.4, so I installed stock 10.4.4.25 on an additional microSD partition and ran the 4.2 update on that. It's just another modification to the kernel ramdisk in addition to Data2SD. It's much easier for ROM development if you can move the card to the PC and do operations on the system like backup, deodexing, etc. there.

Dual-booting with the old kernel failed due to SurfaceFlinger (the Android GUI compositor) failing to start - this may be related to the framebuffer console enabled in my recent kernel builds. I didn't try to dual-boot with the new kernel yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Morning everyone time to clarify :) Those screenshots are the tf300 cromi ported to the tf700. For some reason they get a launcher setting that allows them to boot between 4.2 and 4.1. This is missing from the TF700 4.2.1 for some reason Asus left it out. I was just proving it actually works.

Anyway the first version of CROM 4 will only have the standard 4.1.1 gui as the TF300 rom was very buggy and laggy.

Will progress build tonight after work ;)

Done some reading and couldn't figure out an exact answer. I would like to try stock 4.2 and I'm currently on CROMI 3.4.6, would the following work or does this risk a hard brick?

1. Flash latest TWRP

2. Flash Stock Odex rooted .25

3. Flash OTA update

If not, what is the easiest/safest way to try stock but rooted 4.2 on an unlocked device?

TIA
[Asus Transformer TF700] watsonmf:
Having been back and forth between CM10.1 and CROMI 3.4.x for the past several months, I feel like I must come to the defense of the two bar Android 4.2 layout.

When I first flashed CM10.1, it did take a little getting used to the new layout. Once I became accustomed to it, however, I actually prefer 4.2 layout. While it is true that you lose about half a centimeter of screen space, you gain much easier access to settings and notifications. The toggles in the top right make it a breeze to change just about any system settings on the fly, and the notification area on the left is conveniently out of the way but still easy to access. Plus, the top bar is usually hidden when you are playing games or movies, so the screen space argument is pretty much moot.

With the old one bar layout, I can't count the number of times I have tried to open the menu just as a notification is coming through. Then it ends up opening whatever app gave the notification when all I wanted to do was change the brightness. Also, I find the Asus quick settings to be quite ugly as it clashes with the rest of the UI.

The only really complaint that I have with the new layout is how the navigation buttons are located in the bottom center, which is great for avoiding accidental button presses when gaming or browsing, but a little bit harder to reach when using the tablet with the keyboard dock. It is a slight annoyance for me, but your mileage may vary.

That being said, it just kills me that there are people who are tech-savvy enough to buy a unique tablet like the Transformer but still close-minded enough as to protest a minor UI update. Just give the new UI a chance and I'm sure you will continue to enjoy your tablet experience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, I am close-minded when it comes to usability regressions. When I have to stretch my thumb every time I want to hit "back" because they moved the buttons to the center, the "minor UI update" becomes a major annoyance. There is a certain desktop OS that I also won't touch because of its "less than minor" UI update in version 8.

@Google: What is good for phones is not necessarily good for tablets.

@Microsoft: What is good for tablets is not necessarily good for desktops.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Your choice. Won't work withoutnediting the script.

Wait a few days and I or someone will release a stock odex rom
[Asus Transformer TF700] watsonmf:
I am 100% with you on the "certain desktop OS", I even tried it for about a month before I gave up and had to switch back to 7 (but then I have always been more of a Linux person anyway).

Back on topic, the back button is really the only thing that continues to bug me a little, but given that the keyboard dock has a back button in the top left corner it really hasn't affected usage.

All I am trying to say is that people should give it a chance for a couple weeks before planting their feet and refusing to adapt.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yay! Dual-boot achieved. MicroSD inserted now boots into 4.2, MicroSD removed boots into CROMI 3.4. Now I can go to work... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Treggs:
Ok thanks, happy to wait then. BTW the thanks on your post above was for all your hard work, not just that post :) Will you be posting the odex rom on this thread or somewhere else?
[Asus Transformer TF700] cullenmq1:
Call me crazy, but i have found that the pie controls (using the lmt app) actually works quite nicely on a tablet. Just use the sides of the tablet instead of the bottom middle. Might be a good alternative especially if there is a way to disable the bottom bar altogether.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I like that certain desktop OS in its eighth iteration, but the first app I install(ed) is Classic Start Menu -- boots into desktop mode upon boot. Start8 works too. ;)

Free RAM is wasted RAM! LOL! (I have about 15 GB free -- TERRIBLE waste!:cowboy:)

TL;DR: agree with your stance. Found a workaround.

EDIT: thanks for your clarification for the dualboot option (rom2sd) -- very nice to have!
[Asus Transformer TF700] vulpy:
I actually find the pie controls perfect for tablets. Even more than phones. Especially with the TF700 keyboard, you really dont need the taskbar on all the time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] avwheeler:
I was running the 4/1/13 release for the TF700 on my TF201 for a few days until Flumpster released a more device specific TF201 yesterday. I had to flash Flumpster or Engergy Rom and dirty flash for it to work, but was running fantastic. Did not realize I could do this until a few weeks ago. Thank you for the awesome work!

I think you have ram confused, the tablet only comes with 1gb of ram.

[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Got a friend who updated to 4.2 on his infinity and ye significant speed boost but with fugly UI and useless multi user support... Otherwise it's almost the same...

I being the update freak that I am I will go ahead with CROMi v4.0.... As long as Sbdags says it's stable :D

UPDATE FOR TF700 USERS!!! AND THE 4.2.1 UPDATE

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2204100
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Hey Guys

Am seriously considering to switch from almost 20 years of using Windows to Ubuntu Linux. Will that create issues for me on the Android front? Like if I wanna connect my Infinity to it, will it see it or will it be so much harder? Does it require drivers or will Ubuntu grab them like Windows?

I need to know, simply because if it is going to cause issues this might be the killer and won't switch...

Plz let me know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] watsonmf:
First off, congratulations on making the switch. You have chosen wisely.

Are you talking about just connecting it to access the storage or do something more complex like adb or fastboot? Accessing storage is no trouble for any Linux distro, but adb and fastboot will require a little extra work.

I am running Fedora 18 on my desktop and I have never had any trouble. Though Fedora is a little more cutting edge than Ubuntu, usually Ubuntu has better driver support. I can't imagine that you would have any trouble.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Funny, in my experience it's exactly the opposite. Fastboot and adb work out of the box without drivers (maybe I had to create a udev rule), but MTP was a real hassle when I tried it - files which I copied to the tablet never landed in the correct locations etc., not even speaking about details like preserving timestamps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] watsonmf:
hmm... I just tested it with CROMI and you are right. It shows up when I set it to camera mode but nothing in MTP.

It was working fine with CM10.1 about a month ago. Does anyone know if this is a CROMI thing or just a problem with any stock-based rom?

Out of curiosity, did you end up solving this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No. But "adb push" and "adb pull" work fine. :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
There are no major issues with using Linux. The same way you work with ADB and Fastboot is the same as on windows. You just type the same commands in the terminal. Its the same procedure, download the files, open up a terminal and point it to the folder contaiing the fastboot files. Once you have done this, you will probably never need to connect it to your pc again. Unless you want to change recovery methods. Even installing a ROM wont require your pc.

Only issue you may have (but i hear this will be fixed with 13.04) is your device may not be recognized when you plug it in. Now this is that hard part. So hard, that i gave up on it. If i need to transfer anything, i just use a file manager on my infinity that will allow me to see my shared folders. and i just drag and drop what i needed. I have done this with 4gb movies as well. I have been using Ubunut for about 5 years now. I only use windows at work.

[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
File Manager HD or ES File Explorer. There are others that work also. Go to LAN settings in the app, make sure your pc is on and the shared folders are accessible. Scan for your PC and once found, put in your info (log in/password). And you will see all the shared folders. make sure you set the permissions accordingly.

Airdroid is good online option.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Amazing, just found out that I can use ftp file transfer via Solid Explorer the app I bought... Love it. No issues at all on Ubuntu.. I only transfer tiny files and images so am happy :D

I guess I will have to learn how to live without Photoshop and After Effects xD
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
Install a Virtual Box for windows. This will allow you to have a windows environment inside of your Linux OS.

Or, get Wine, which will allow you to run windows apps in Linux. Not all apps work though. Best bet would probably be to get a Virtual Box.

or just dual boot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
Dual boot is what I do, works good for me.

Back on topic, I have gotten my hands on a stock Infinity with Android 4.2 and I must admit it is quite fast and smooth. Sadly the ASUS apps, the new ones are useless, I hope Sbdags makes v4.0 of this ROM something unique and special :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thank you. Right got slightly diverted tonight. Been working some stuff through with flumpmeister and we have a CONUNDRUM

:D

I have 2 different versions of CROMI ;)

One is based off the TF300 base and one is based off the TF700.

CROMI TF300 has all my mods and is thoroughly tested - contains the 4.2 and 4.1 GUI and you can switch between them. ;)

CROMI TF700 is very beta build and has no mods (bit like a stock ROM) and only contains the 4.1 GUI

The TF700 one feels faster btw - Asus do something different for the TF700.

So should I release CROMI 300 under a different name? What should I call it so it doesn't confuse people?

You can have the TF300 one tomorrow :) It will be a full update to 4.2.1 and then you can switch easily to the TF700 one when ready.....

Names, names, names... Give me some suggestions please.

Mtp works fine with Ubuntu once setup. Both my tablet and my galaxy s3 mount and unmount to my laptop. You do have to install mtp support and define the udev rules. All the android stuff (adb, fastboot, etc) works flawlessly once you install the dev environment (same as on windows). My house has been windows free for over 10 years.

I can post a mtp howto if folks are interested. Only issue with going to linux is that the "one click" stuff tends to be windows only.

Usb file transfers via cable are painfully slow on infinity. I should say they were with stock, i don't know about cleanrom because i just don't do it. Most of the time i use dropbox. For large files i use memory card transfer. I think airdroid and memory card transfers are far better choices than cable transfers.

Sorry for the noob questions, but can't find my answers... I'm still running the CleanRom 3.1 version Data2SD and would like to update to the latest version, but I have a little problem. I'm running out of storage om my SD card and since I'm running Data2SD I can't seem to be using the 64gb of internal storage... Did I do anything wrong during the installation or is it true that I can't use the internal storage anymore when I'm running Data2SD, in which case I should revert back to normal.

And if I want to update the rom, just download it and flash it over te existing one? Or do I need to do more steps in order to activate Data2SD?

Thnx alot!

If you're on data2sd, you still can use your internal for storage. Use root explorer or something similar you can copy data from /sdcard (external ext4 partition) to /sdcardi (internal storage) and /Removable/MicroSD is your external fat32 partition.
