Okay so I am really wanting to try out this ROM but I need help with a couple of things if someone doesn't mind helping me out. :)

1. To do the Data2SD Kernel...I know I need to partition my MicroSD card. I have a SanDisk Class 10 64 GB. How big should the /data part of the partition be? I know the other partition is for what I want to put on my MicroSD but what does everyone recommend? Also, I know one of the partitions need to be in EXT4 correct? Can the other one be in FAT32 or NTFS? Which one would be better?

2. Do I just repartition my MicroSD then and install the Data2SD_Kernel_43_08202013.zip Kernel in the 3rd post? I just want to make sure I do it all right before I try anything.

No worries I ALWAYS do a Nandroid before installing a new ROM. :)

One last thing, should I install them in this order through TWRP or CWM?:

1. ROM

2. GAPPS

3. Kernel

THANKS and hopefully someone can help me out! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anoneemooz:
Hello friend! I'll help you out here.

MAJOR ERROR FIXED:

SECOND partition = ext4

FIRST partition = I did fat32 but exfat or ntfs is said to be compatible now so it should work I think. Exfat would make it readable on all computers. Ntfs is Windows only. Both allow larger file sizes though unlike fat32 which has a limit.

I have the same card as you. I would do at least 8gb. I think I did 12 on mine for no particular reason though and left the remaining 50ish for the second partition.

Also, as flumpster mentioned, both should be primary.

Thanks flumpster for pointing out my fail..

So sorry alias4ever.. I haven't partitioned my card in so long since it's been that way since the mod first came up....

Yes partition sdcard first before anything

Kernel first before gapps :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SickBeast:
It's always better to clean flash but for such a minor revision you're probably fine flashing dirty. For daily or even weekly builds I usually dirty flash and I haven't had any issues. It's too much of a PITA to constantly clean flash a ROM that is changing so fast like this.

The devs will always want you to clean flash because it helps them track down bugs more easily.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias4ever:
WOW! Thank you so much, I really appreciate all this help, you are an angel. :angel: What program would you recommend I use to partition the MicroSD card? I have EaseUS Partition Master v9.2.1 on my Windows 7 64 bit machine that I have used to partition my Internal hard drive and a thumb drive but never have done it to a MicroSD. :o Or is there something else you would recommend more? As for FAT32, I don't mind using it. I know there is a 4GB max in the file size but the biggest file (which is a video) I would put on there is 700 MB to maybe 1GB max so no problem there. :p T

So to clarify this is what I do:

1. Partition my MicroSD to the 1st partition being 8GB ext4 and the rest FAT32. (Once I do this can I put the ROM, Gapps, and Kernel on the 50ish partition to install from?)

2. Perform Nandroid backup

3. Wipe everything but MicroSD

4. Install ROM (do I need to clear davlik, cache, etc. or anything else after installation?)

5. Install Kernel (wipe davlik, etc. after installation again?)

6. Install Gapps (wipe davlik, etc. again after installation?)

7. Reboot and ENJOY right? :laugh:

Sorry I just want to make sure I do everything right as I really don't want to kill my Prime. :(

Off topic can I just say I love this particular topic on this forum? I love all the help I have gotten so far and no pissed off or frustrated people at me. :good: I have a phone that I have a custom ROM on and I asked a question and I thought I would never hear the end of doing research, etc. from so many people. They go so upset with me for asking what they thought was a "stupid" question. I didn't think it was though. No offense to some but I am a mother of 4 kids between 3 and 11 I don't have time to do all the research so thank you so much for all the help, I am eternally grateful. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Unless data2sd works differently in this rom to every other version of data2sd i have seen then the fat partition comes first and the ext partition comes second, not the other way around. Both partitions are primary partitions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anoneemooz:
Oh Damn!!

Yes you are right!! I haven't done the partitioning in a long time gah.

So sorry alias4ever.. it's the other way around! Ext4 definitely second. My bad..I hope you didn't try it yet.

As for a program, I just use minitool partition wizard home (free)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias4ever:
Please no worries, I haven't tried it yet. :) Still trying to get everything backed up on my Prime first via Titanium Backup as I don't want to loose progress on games and other data. :) Thank you again so much for all the help, I truly am forever grateful. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pit84:
Thanks voyager, i use your rom from 3.6 with 0 problem, is absolutely the best/stable/updated rom for tf201 great job
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] R-TEAM:
Hi,

use the ROM now for the first Time (have used before AndroWook - nice and fast ROM too - but limmited on Asus Base ROMs - and so limmited on 4.2.1 ....) and musst first say thank you for this nice and fast ROM.

I realy like the way , its NOT implement in the ROM various additional Apps, like FileManager/MusicPlayer (except the google default) as the most user have an prefered app for this and deinstall an system app is not easy and freeze the unused app is not the best way too :P

From here come my first hint, i would like to remove the torch app - as i prefere an other (like other user too? ;) ) and install an app (like music player/Filemanager or torch) is not hard as remove an system app.And if you like in 4 month an other app more you are not stuck with an system app that is hard to remove....

Now, this was only an hint, we are come to the real problem(bug) i have with this ROM .... :)

It is for an beta running very good .... as long i stay on "Single User mode" ..

I have used the Tab with my girlfriend, she haved the second account ... but on this ROM - its show, the creating from an second account is broken or the multiuser mode at all ...

If i add an user and going to his launcher, many (or all?) google system services FC ... one after another - so i have it even with maaaany pressing the "o.k." button after an FC not managed to going behind the google account input step ...(have on my side not one app DL - only updates from system apps maked and then try to create the sec. account ...)

So good the ROM is in single user - in multiuser it is un usable ATM (or the initial process ....)

Hope for an fix ;)

Regards

Loving this Rom

Great job Voyager2k I am running the 4.3 versaion and find it rocks so far.

I have had only one crash with a Jigsaw puzzle game app but this app has crashed before on other roms so I do not think it has anything to do with the rom.

I do have one suggestion that you might want to look into, I am using the overclock kernel but cannot find anywhere to change power modes ie power saver, balanced, performance modes that are part of the TF201 stock roms. If I go into performance and change it to 1700 it never uses that mode in fact it says it did not go over 1400 at all. I believe this is due to not having the ability to select performance mode.

BlackBean 8 rom which I came from has this selection in settings maybe you could take a look and add that into the next version? Just a suggestion brother it is your Rom.

Whatever you decide to add or not this Rom is fantastic and I love it, I am so glad you decided to port this for us flashers that do not have the skills to do it ourselves. Keep up the good work and know that it is appreciated! :fingers-crossed: :good: :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Thanks for the bug report. I know that the multi-user mode has had issues in the past, particularly with the theme engine. Not sure if that's the case here, but I'll look in to it.

I can't reproduce the problem on my end. Have you tried different apps? Also, make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked under Security.

Check out the new build. I've re-added the advanced settings to the ROM.

---

Speaking of the new build, PA is now in the RC stage. Within the next couple of builds, I'll re-add the goomanager app and re-enable OTA updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
RC downloading now

Awesome! Thanks Voyager2k I am downloading the RC now and will install it later tonight. Looking forward to trying it out. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lortay78:
Very excited to try this, but I want to see if I should be worried about flashing your new kernel on a 64gb tablet. I've had some issues with kernels on this device causing soft bricks because they weren't specifically made with the 64gb edition in mind. Should I be worried about that? I'm not feeling like dusting off my nvflash files tonight.

Thanks.

Disable Halo by double-tapping and dragging to the red circle. Then you can install.

Bug Report

Installed the 0921 RC version and began changing the settings to suit me, everytime I change the governor setting in settings/performance it causes a re-boot and the selection does not stick. Any ideas? :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Are you on the stock kernel, or Data2SD/OC? I've had reports of stability issues on the OC and Data2SD kernels. I plan on trying to fix it, but _motley is the overclocking genius.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mathsz:
I just installed this rom.

Honestly, I was expecting that it would be half-broken.

I quite pleasantly surprised, it actually works very well. Big thanks for the efforts!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
I am using the OC kernel for 4.3 so maybe that is the issue then, I will wait for it to be fixed but other then that the ROM rocks! Can you post the kernel that comes with the 4.3 ROM with the other kernels so I can switch back without re flashing the whole rom?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
Thank you much! Flashing shortly.

Hi voyager

3.99rc2 rocks

But the 4.3 Oc kernel with a dirty reboot have erased part of my application.please fix the oc kernel and if is possible make the voltage of gpu to standard 520with possibility oc,i think is the best choise .big thanks for your hard job bye
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Okay... question for Voyager2k... I THINK this belongs here...

I've installed the PAC-ROM by jeroenqui, based on Android 4.3. Middle of that thread someone points to your folder full o'kernels.

I downloaded and installed "OC_Kernel_43_08202013.zip" and all is well. I would like to try the Data2SD thing, so I have also downloaded "Data2SD_Kernel_43_08202013.zip" - the date and "43" part leading me to believe this is the Data2SD equivalent.

SO my questions:

1. Is it smart enough, if I have NOT repartitioned my microSD yet, to figure this out and not vomit all over when the partitioning isn't correct?

2. Is it also OC'ed?

THAAAAAAAAAANKS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Okay:

1. The kernel is incredibly stupid. It expects the microSD card to be properly partitioned already. If it isn't, and you flash it, your tablet won't boot, since there is no data partition where it expects it to be.

2. Yes, it is OC'ed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Excellent info, thanks. Now I know how to proceed.

Incidentally, my "internal sd" benchmark showed a ~30mb/s read and ~7mb/s write. That's actually faster than what my microsd (class 6) benched at.

Funky!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Okay, one more: Does your kernel expect the third partition to be there for /cache?

Thanks again!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
No, it doesn't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r0ark:
I am using the ROM version 3.69 (JB 4.2.2) with "Data2SD_OC_Kernel _05142013.zip" By default, it looks like fsync is disabled and I know this because when I run AndroBench, my 4K Random Write is in around 200 MB/s!

What I would like to do is enable fsync in order to truly test the new Sandisk Ultra 32GB that I've just installed with Data2SD with the OC Kernel.

According to the Motley kernel thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1532849), I can use Trickster to manipulate the appropriate fsync and dynamic fsync settings.

***********

Stock (safest) - fsync is always committed synchronously

dynamic fsync OFF

fsync ON

Code:

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/dyn_fsync/Dyn_fsync_active

echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

***********

I installed Trickster and then used it to enable fsync and turn dynamic fsync off, set it to save on reboot, and verified the settings from the terminal that they are on ("1") or off ("0").

With fsync enabled and dynamic fsync off, AndroBench 4K random write is still showing around 200 MB/s!

Am I missing something? Please help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
This exciting thing happened today: the poor tablet ran out of gas yesterday, so I charged it overnight and managed to dislodge the microsd at some point in the processes.

I'm using the Data2SD kernel (as mentioned) and so I got the encryption failed message, which really means "Hey doofus, plug in your microSD!"

I pushed it back in and rebooted - and it automagically, without ANY intervention or prompting or ANYTHING - hopped into recovery and REFORMATTED DATA FOR ME.

Is this by design?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
As far as I know, yes. When/if you get that screen again, just hold the power button until the tablet restarts. In the fine print of that error message, I think it mentions something about reformatting data if you press the on-screen reboot button.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Ahh, that pesky fine print.

Okay, next time I'll pay more attention. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeroen_76:
Volume boost?

Love this ROM, especially that you still can switch toolbar layouts and all!

But has anyone found a way to boost the volume of the headset on this ROM? I've tried all kinds of apps, but they all decrease the volume when I try them, instead of increase it. Any help is appreciated :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlueHawk:
Not sure how loud you want it. I use Viper4Android. It seems good enough for me although I admit the Prime sound output isn't as good as my Nexus 10 generally.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Status update time. Life's been keeping me busy as of late, and the PA github has been kind of quiet, so I haven't gotten much work done on the ROM. The next release will be a stable release (even though PA still calls this an RC version), which means OTA updates will be available again. However, I won't be releasing 3.99 as an OTA update, since a data wipe is required when updating from 3.69 or lower. Once 3.99 is installed however, you'll get ROM updates via OTA. If all goes well, the stable build of 3.99 will be up by the end of the week, and may contain one or two little surprises.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pit84:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] R-TEAM:
Hi,

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
3.99 Stable at last

Okay, 3.99 stable is finally ready. I know it says RC2, but it seems stable to me. Major changes include the update to Android 4.3.1 and the addition of the CRT Animation (at last). Multi-User is still broken though, and right now, I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Somehow, Advanced Settings got removed again, but I'll re-add it again in the next build.

Data Wipe is required coming from PA 3.69 or below or if you're coming from a different ROM. If you've been using the betas, you *should* be okay, but if you have FC's, try a data wipe.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pit84:

PA News and "New" Features

_motley is the overclocking genius, not me. I'm not quite sure how to add it in.

In other news, I have a new build in the works. I've fixed the issue with multiple user accounts. The flood of FC's should be gone now. Also, I've added a center clock option as well as a custom date display, similar to CarbonROM. The new build should be posted within a day or two.

Now, I know I said in the past that I wanted to keep this ROM as close to PA's source as I could, but truth be told, there are some features from other ROMs, like PAC-MAN and CarbonROM that I really like. I don't intend to turn this into a clone of either ROM, but I do have two more features I plan to port over. Anyone care to guess which ones?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kr338r:
is one "active display"?

big thanks to all you guys for giving me stuff to do to my tfp when i really should be working LOL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
No, but that's not a bad idea. Maybe in a future update.

Speaking of updates, the new build is up. As usual, let me know if there are any bugs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kr338r:
givin' this ROM a go, so far so good.

(it seemed to take a little longer than some other ROMs to cache & settle in)

first off, boatloads of options here for sure.

i did have an instance where an option sub screen came up in portrait mode

instead of landscape (while docked to keyboard).

i'm working now and can't seem to find

or recreate it again, so maybe it was a fluke.

the settings title bar read "wifi", but corrected itself after a reboot.

had a reboot after adjusting current min. in performance control,

but was fine after that.

(SU seems to lag when being accessed, the permission dialog stayed onscreen after being set)

so, other than a coupla niggles, this is a

very nice ROM that would make any option setting

control freak ecstatic!

thanks for your great work!

i found the settings screen that flips to portrait mode while in landscape orientation:

New Data2SD Test Kernel

Alright, I have a new Data2SD kernel available for testing. This one should allow non-root apps to access the internal storage. The internal storage should also show up when the tablet is connected to a computer. I've only tested this with the latest build of this ROM, but I don't think it will work with any other ROMs. You can download the new kernel from my goo.im page (linked in my signature). Based on the Enhanced Data2SD kernel from the TF700 forums. Here's a link to the thread.

File: Data2SD_Kernel_Enhanced_Test_PA_only.zip (filed under Kernels/TF201)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anoneemooz:
i'd love to test but it will have to wait I guess since Goo.im is being a little iffy today again with 403 errors and what not..thank you still for your continued awesome work :)

For those of you having trouble with goo.im, you can download the kernel here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kr338r:
thanks for this.

flashed this kernel for sh*ts n giggles, so far so good.

i know it's been asked before...

any hope of an OC kernel?

i found 1.6 to be the sweet spot on my 1st gen tfp,

just figured i'd ask since i'm guessing the older

kernels aren't compatible.

gonna stick w/ this ROM for awhile, very nice job.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
For some reason for me the rom wasn't smooth at all! Clean install with data2sd (enhanced). Big latency after pushing app drawer \ home buttons and general hickups using the tablet. Maybe because of data2sd, but i didn't have these problems on other roms with data2sd!

IO Benchmarks gave good results on the sdcard performance!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] R-TEAM:
Hi,

the ROM is very nice - runing good with Oc Kernel ...

Cant say any bad thing :)

The only one i can complain ...

It looks like many (nearly all ? ) other ROMs - it is only tested in single user mode ...

In multiuser, still quirks (apps that installed on sec. user and after this installed on main user apears only after an reboot on the main user side .. as example) and little problems ....

On ROMs for smartphons it is O.K. .. the default usage here is in single user mode ...

But ROMs for tablets should be better tested for multiuser usage in general ....

But it is one of the best ROMs for the TF Prime :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Try the enhanced Data2SD kernel. The internal storage should show up on a PC when you hook up the tablet via USB. It also allows non root apps to use the internal storage as well.
