[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
The boot animation I loaded in 4.2 does cause the boot time to increase. I found that out myself a couple of days after I released it. I tried the bigger animation to see if it would fill up the screen a little more. The next release will go back to the original.

I'll try to get a new build out later today (yes, I know I said that a few days ago. I admit I got a little lazy).

Edit: 4.2 BETA4 is live. The uninstall bug should be fixed. I also restored the old, smaller boot animation, which should speed up the boot time a bit. You can get it from the link in post 3 or from the DevDB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
On xda I found small Nexus 7 kitkat animation, only 715kb. Decreased the boot time to less than 1 minute in my config (by ~15secs).

I had the same issue with previous ROM releases, looks like it's not for us. Voyager, any ideas why?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guy_smiley:
Ugh, as the error states, there isn't enough space in /system. You need to install a minimal gapps package for most 4.4 ROMs for the TFP. Then install any missing gapps through the play store (as minimal will give you the play store) to your /data partition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
The 4.4 pa_gapps package plus the ROM is too big for the system partition. That's part of the reason why I supplied a package for people to use. That and because I know it works with the ART runtime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
Can't it be resized? I know they were doing it on LG phones here on XDA, mine TF201 have 64GB internal memory that is pretty much for the system and remaining stuff with my 64GB external one. Or it's not worth....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
The partitions are possible to resize. The easiest way would be to alter the nvflash configuration file and start from a blank slate, however everyone having different sized partitions tend to become support nightmares down the line...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
So, perhaps not worth to do it.

By the way, kokopuhz, you observe this PA thread, are you working on your koko kernel for PA ROM? I would like to try the f2fs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
I will definately start working on compatibility with roms other than the cm10.2 that I am using, once I get major bugs out of the way. However, I think voyager2k has f2fs support already included in his kernel, just not yet tested, if I remember correctly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythoc:
We would need a custom recovery to format internal storage to f2fs. People in tf300 forum use this way, install f2fs recovery, full wipe+format with makef2fs through recovery, install rom again. Didn't have the time to flash beta4 yet, too busy so i dont know if this is already possible or voyager found another way. Just sharing what i did last week and worked like a charm! I love f2fs

Is it this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49909410&postcount=2?

I'd love to try.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythoc:
Yeah exactly. I believe you need the JB bootloader to make this work. That could mean that you will not be able to flash Prime's paranoid roms! I suggest you wait for an official voyager f2fs recovery if he plans on making one of course.

But if you can't wait to test new things like me, try a cm11 build from tf300t forum, like cromix kk.

~~ Remember that you will need to downgrade your bootloader to install paranoid again!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Just FYI: our devices can flash and run most anything for the TF300t from recovery to ROMs if you don't mind giving up the camera and GPS.

I'm currently on the CM build for the 300t and have encountered zero issues after about a week of heavy use with multiple accounts. Until the multiuser bugs get ironed out and I can come back home to PA it works and its fast.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
Guys, thanks for you inputs.

I just checked my bootloader by verifying the NVIDIA logo position during the boot. I'm on JellyBean already (right bottom corner) and have been running the PA for like since last year, strange... Ok I did the NVFLASH recently but I didn't do anything to the bootloader intentionally. But, I have some issues now with Superuser with the latest ROM.

Anyway I'm ready to try the f2fs. Have to study first.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythoc:
Can someone post benchmark results (especially for i/o) from their current setup? I need someome with ext4 internal storage!

PSN ID: mythoc24
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thierry_hd2:
Thanks for the info. I never used the GPS and my camera is broken. So I guess, I could easily test a tf300 rom.

Since you've already been this path could you enlighten us a little more?

- which recovery for the tf300 did you install?

- which rom did you install?

- did you format in f2fs?

- did you enable ART?

- are the I/O improved? I don't use extended partition on SD card.

I'd be really grateful if you could provide some links.

I like PA a lot. Though, I am missing a functional multi-user.

The work from voyager is just unbelievable to me. I hope the multi-user and f2fs will be functional one day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
I just made it running so I can deliver some of the info:

1) I updated my bootloader from 10.4.2.15 to 10.6.1.17 using Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490002899

Just boot into recovery and flash, you will see Hairybean TWRP in the recovery afterwards.

(if you need to downgrade use: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511177322)

2) Flash f2fs TWRP and GEASS f2fs kernel from the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49909410&postcount=2. If you follow the guide you will have f2fs.

3) Flash CROMBi-KK http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2686235 or CM11 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2570965 that are compatible with f2fs.

Your remaining questions not answered yet.

EDIT:After succesful install of CM11 (boot and run) I wanted to see the CROMBi-KK. The flashing proces in TWRP has its own menu so you can customize the ROM e.g. select google apps, protect f2fs data corruption against sudden power off. You can select also other configurations easily (data2d with f2fs, data2sd w/o f2fs, bootanimation, launcher). Ahh, even it comes from TF300 forum, you can point you install it on TF201. Overall - quite impressive.

Now in the process of booting (as they say up to 10 minutes)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hypocritelecteur:
Precisely what I did as suggested to me by user Philow, except I flashed Geas kernel as well.

Front facing camera still works, by the way, just not the rear.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
Writing "f2fs kernel" I meant GEASS kernel, I correct it. For me it seems a little bit laggy (my device hardware has an issue?, besides I did a full wipe. Also have an issue with superuser, although I enabled it in the Developer Options, I'm going to try SuperuserSu to fix it). I'm missing the PA already. I will try CROMBi-KK for couple of days and switch back to PA. I hope soon we get the f2fs to test this ROM.

EDIT: It's ok now after SuperuserSu. But I can't find the Dalvik / ART switch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thierry_hd2:
Many thanks for your quick and complete answer.

I will take the time to read the info in the various forums.

Do you have any experience for downgrading from the Hairybean bootloader? I am an old time HB user ;)

I'd be interested in your comparison between CM11 and CROMBi-KK. Not so much about the functionalities but more about I/O and lags!

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
I believe downgrade will be same easy as the upgrade, just flash the second file I posted.

Then flash the TWRP of your choice, for example if you want PA kitkat ROM use Voyager2k's one.

After I fix my Superuser problems the tablet runs smoothly so far, but as each fresh ROM gives similar feeling, I just need time to load it with apps and get second opinion. The Antutu benchmark shows 12118 points, unfortunately I lost antutu history after wiping. so I have no reference to previous config.

I switched from CM11 to CROMBi-KK to quickly (CM11 is just a "basic" KK android, while CROMBi-KK is the customised version of CM11).

If you have your backups and you are NVFLASH secured just try both.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
PA is a little lite on customization at the moment. It's still pretty much AOSP with a few changes (like PIE). So no, you're not going crazy.

Are you sure? I just tried to connect my TF201 running CROMBi-KK to Samsung GSIII. The phone could be found and connected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luismiguel1977:
I had it running using the ROM kernel but after cycling it off, it won't turn back on now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythoc:
Which kernel are you using?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luismiguel1977:
The one included in the ROM... F2fs internal option

Seems to work intermittently. After a few more toggles now it stayed on...then if I toggle it off, it doesn't turtn back on. Flicks to " on" whilst "bluetooth turning on ..." Then flicks to "OFF"

Geass f2fs has the no BT either for me :( likely cause I am running tf300 bootloader and tf300 Km ROMs?

Same for both kernels running Slimkat.

Anyway to add specific tf201 modules to kernel and re zip it for flashing?

Hi,

as i have now the beta4 onboard - it is running nice.

The multiuser problem is not more "so dramatical" - haved 2 or 3 reboots by switch the user - but all without problems like stuck at bootanim ..

And -> can confirm : the tablet reboots every time i switch from the second account to the main (my) account AND the tablet is ACTUAL charged with the orginal charger.

If i switch on "un-charged" time, the switch get more or less normal - faster as under PA3.99 ... but most times slower as under Wookie (lastest).

have found a little more quirks on the multiuser system but nothing realy bad.

(one app was installed by the main account before the second was createt - it is used by the main + second account - later i can the app not update with PlayStore from the main account ... but on the second account i can it update flawless ?? strange :P ... )

Just beware--sometimes it works with just the occasional restart for a few days...to trick you into stopping daily twrp backups. Then it strikes in ambush.

Only method for f2fs thus far is via updating your tf201 to the tf300 bootloader, then flashing f2fs twrp..., on the tf300 crombi-kk thread are the details.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
You will need to flash a kernel that mounts the filesystem as f2fs, like the special version that I had made in that post in my kernel thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luismiguel1977:
you need to flash an f2fs kernel, PA rom kernel is for ext4 only.. try kokokernel
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eSbek:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't be the format to f2fs first and then flashing a ROM?

Regards
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Doesn't really matter since you aren't touching the system partition.

As a general note to those who want to use f2fs: You will need to flash koko's modded kernel. Although I've added f2fs support (in theory) to mine, it still tries to mount the file systems as ext4 (by design).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bklm1234:

0. Download kokokernel dated 2014/04/20 here: http://www.kokopuphz.com/android/kernel/20140420-1443.KERNEL.zip

1. Boot into TRWP (Voyager2k's TRWP 2.7.0.0-Voyager2k_v1.2 version. This version has mkfs.f2fs command)

2. Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Internal Storage

3. Install pa_tf201-4.2-BETA4-20140409.zip

6. Go to Advanced > Terminal Command > Select Folder (button on bottom right)

7. Type

mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

9. Reboot

Lock Screen Portrait Bug

Hi

I got the latest release 4.2 beta 4 installed and there appears to be a bug with the lock screen; when oriented in portrait it will flip back and forth to landscape. I even got stuck in a loop with the rotation locked in portrait, this would crash the system.ui module. Maybe its a known issue? I haven't found any comments about it...

Aside from that, the rom is very nice! Upgraded from Energy and its much faster and smoother.

1. Not working LED (on power button)? Maybe hardware issue. It should even load turned off or in recovery mode.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] ParanoidAndroid 4.3 BETA4 5/14/2014

Installed 4.3 Beta4 with DATA2Sd addition , first had some problems with Recovery Image of TWR , release 2.6.3.0, read that you should be on a newer level, took recovery.1.2.img from Voyager2k and flashed it , problems solved and 4.3 Beta4 installed fine.

Lost root in the process somewhere , but that is the least of worries ;)))

Attention points :

1. Reaction on Power On/Off button is a bit strange, when Prime in sleep mode, sometimes no reaction at all and had to solve

it with a reboot, just read in kokokernel thread this could have something to do with DATA2SD which does power off device ???

2. Wifi is bad, speeds and reception are not 25% of what I was used to on JellyBean, I read in KitKat forums that this is "normal" for current roms but would notice it anyway

Great work Voayer2K, never thought I could like my sluggish Prime again ;)

2 questions....

What kind of battery life do you get using PA? I'm on Androwook and I'm pretty unhappy as the battery dies just from being asleep.

Can I get a little hand holding on what I need to move from Androwook to PA, especially around changing the bootloader?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vanista:
I was coming from the last Energy release which drained the battery the same way you describe Androwook. I can say PA is more efficient but I do have to charge every other day. Also it seems that it's either full for a while or there remains only 1/4 for another while, never noticed the battery at at 50% ;)

Search in older posts, I know I saw a couple cmd lines to copy paste somewhere. Basically you need to downgrade the bootloader, flash the Voyager2K TWRP build and you're ready to install.
