Hi all, sorry if this is a bit off topic but I am currently on JB Hydro 7 (10.4.2.20) and I'm seriously considering switching to CROMi, mainly because the lack of updates (the developer apparently switched to a different tablet) and I'd like to know how this rom is working so far (unfortunately, Hydro stutters sometimes and I'd like to benefit from the latest Asus updates) and if I can just flash it directly over Hydro or if it's better to flash the latest Asus stock rom.

Thanks

My 2 cents..

This ROM with lagfix every day is just sooo good. I thought it was laggy to begin (scrolling, loading apps etc) with but bought Lagfix premium for 66p and schedule it every day. ROM Is running super super good. I was a doubter when using it for weeks/month but since I was told to try lagfix its brilliant.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] asdfgj69g:
Without lagfix premium permanently running every day I enjoy it as well! :p

You need to full wipe coming from different rom.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] smarcisin:
I switched from hydro.....way worth it...faster + more support = :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MrMagic:
Soooo... now that Asus has released 4.2.1 for the TF300TG, is there a chance we'll get CROMi for it as well? :)

I already read in some other threads that TWRP 2.5.0.0-4.2 for the TF300T also works on the TF300TG.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mloc33:
Did you follow the OP or did you just do the usual wipe system/cache/dalvik?

I'm also on Hydro 7 and am wanting to flash this ROM.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
afaik sbdags doesn't develop for TG or TL. His Roms should work on yours (with latest 4.2 bootloader, but no radio - if you want radio you need a dev to compile a compatible kernel ;) )

You must first update to the Asus 4.2 bootloader and a 4.2 recovery before flashin this, guides should be linked in the OP :good:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Ninja Potatoe:
Anyone else considering switching from this ROM to ParanoidAndroid once the update comes out? It's gonna have multi-window support.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pendragon11:
not to be too off topic, but this is something i've thought about a few times... I tried PA before, and liked it, but found cromi to be all around a more stable daily driver. Felt faster, was quicker to set up with multiple flashes etc. In the long term, stability is key. I also tried the Cornerstone rom for the tf, but had similar results. Customization and multi screen are fantastic, but ultimately, if it isn't stable, i revert back. Cromi is a rock, and it really has great support and upkeep.

i'm down to drink the koolaid as long as sbdags is mixing it
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pcoussa:
Is PA gonna be 4.2 bootloader compatible though?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] slickdaddy96:
Will one of you point me to where I can download bravia engine 2? I searched but all the zip files look specific to one android device or another. I didn't see a universal one or one specific for the tf300t. Thanks...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] markymark567:
Install CROMI and choose bravia engine in aroma installer.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] slickdaddy96:
I don't think that is in CROMI 4.2 which I am forced to run due to all newer versions incorporating the supposed ASUS security fix of not allowing users other than the owner to see the external microSD card which is a deal breaker for me.

So does someone have a flashable zip of just that mod?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scarmona:
Quick question then....

Is it ok to update to Asus official stock 10.6.1.15.3 using TWRP 2.2.2.0, then updating TWRP to 2.5 (4.2) and THEN install CROMi?

it gets a bit confusing with the issues between different versions of TWRP 2.5, I read a few people bricked their tablets.

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MrMagic:
CROMi 3.x was perfectly compatible with the TF300TG, including radio, as long as you flashed the proper kernel. sbdag's kernel installer even included various TF300TG compatible kernels.

Hence my question if we are going to get a compatible version of CROMi 4.x.

I realize a new kernel needs to be built, but I'd be happy just using the stock kernel for now (source of which has been released by Asus too: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF300TG/TF300TG_kernel_10_6_2_3.zip).
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Yes, it is. Read this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187982 and you should be fine ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
Well, I have a TF300TG and there is no TWRP 2.5.0.0 that supports 4.2 yet. I am waiting for a new release from TWRP.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Yes there is. I am going to update my guide with the TG version, but right now TWRP website is down ;) But I'm pretty sure I saw the TG 4.2 recovery version on the website before. As soon as I get it opened I'll update it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4658366]joelalmeidaptg[/MENTION]: I scoured the TWRP site yesterday, there was no TG300TG version for the 2.5.0.0-4.2 recovery :D I'd love to have it so I can ley to rest my worries :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Straange... I'm pretty sure I saw it... Lets wait for the website to come back alive xD Stupid thing, when we need it it decides to break -.-'

EDIT: Just opened the website, you are right.. No recovery yet... :( I'll keep looking and when something new comes up I'll update the guide ^^
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MrMagic:
Someone wrote in another thread that TWRP 2.5.0.0-4.2 for the TF300T also works for the TF300TG. I didn't try myself yet though :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
Well, there is no OTA update to 4.2.1 yet. I am waiting for the custom recovery. I am not trying the one for the TF300T.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] kykc:
I'm also very interested in TG compatibility. I can provide support in testing, if that would be helpful.

I've installed this rom on my TF300TG today (TF700 kernel), and all apart from radio seems to be great. Also, this rom even shows that sim card is removed (when it is actually removed) but when I insert SIM notification disappears and nothing else happens.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] markymark567:
I don't think there is anything sbdags could put into cromi that would magically enable 3g radio.

You need a kernel developer to make a kernel that has radio compatibility. This is a kernel thing not a ROM thing.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
After CROMi 4.4 which will be DEODEX and ODEX (working on it now) I will look into a stock kernel for 3G users with their modules taken from the Asus release.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] d08speed3:
Mmmmmmmm ODEX! Any more updates to be expected in 4.4?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] kykc:
I have an interesting problem - when I mount something with encfs or using cifs module, I can't access mounted resource outside the root shell where it was mounted. encfs --public doesn't help.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
This is an issue that google introduced in android 4.2 Only the app that mounts is allowed to use the mount. So far no one hasn't got CIFS working that I'm aware of. Use es file explorer to copy and stream over your network.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Myself-:
What about issues related to:

1) Bluetooth

2)Front/rear Cam

3)Battery drain that is in official 4.2

4) Dock support (foreign langage)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MrMagic:
Thanks for thinking of the TF300TG users too :) Looking forward to seeing CROMi for it. If you need help beta testing let me know!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
My bluetooth is fine so are both cams and my battery is sweet im on the latest cromi-x and using hunds kernel
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
What about them?

Battery has been the best it has ever been for me, cams work fine, dock support will be added in 4.4 via keyboard manager. What are your blue tooth issues?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
Same with mine. I am amazed at the overall stability and how well everything just WORKS, even when I am overclocked to 1.5 GHz.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] markymark567:
+1 hunds kernel is AMAZINGLY stable (should it really still be in alpha?) And the battery life is great. Combine that with rock solid, lightning fast CROMI and my tab FLIES. its perfect right now and its probably only gonna get better (just saw hunds got 1.6 oc in v8, I'm still only at 1.5 and getting 6000 benchmark :good: )

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EABonney:
I flased 2.5.0.0 of TWRP and I am having issues mounting the sdcard now. I was also having it with the version prior to 2.5.0.0 and wondering if anyone else is having this? I was trying to reflash and format/wipe my internal sdcard so that I could get a complete clean start.

I have all my stuff I need to flash inside a folder off the root of sdcard, but I can't find it inside TWRP. Anyone having this issue?

-Eric
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] markymark567:
ha no need to apologize. but no i wasn't one of the ones posting kmsg. but good to know about v8. im try it anyways tho to make sure ts not an isolated bug

sounds like you maybe flashed an incompatible twrp??? Be careful, many have bricked this way. make sure your getting one SPECIFICALLY for 4.2
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EABonney:
Yea I ensured that I had the jelly bean version of twrp. Double checked it twice before I flashed it. Still not having any luck with seeing the sdcard inside twrp.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
Like the post above says, there are multiple versions of TWRP for our devices last 2 of firmware releases of JB 4.2.1. "twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" for ASUS firmware 10.6.1.15.3 and the modified version of TWRP 2.4.4.0 for firmware 10.6.1.8.

There also different recoveries for JB 4.1.1. Sorry if you already have the right one, just want to make sure that you do.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] slickdaddy96:
Ok I am a bit confused. What is the point of flashing 10.6.1.15.3 when one is using CROMI to begin with? I am just using the patched TWRP and I am happy with it. I don't really see a need to upgrade to 2.5 TWRP but if I was going to I would flash 10.6.1.15.3 then TWRP 2.5 then CROMI again correct?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EABonney:
Yup I had the wrong one I guess, now I am really confused and not sure which version I need. :D Usually this is not that tough..ugh..I thought I needed the 4.2 version which I had but it won't boot. Anyone have a link to the modified 2.4 version or know which version of 2.5 we should be using?

Thanks all.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] macgyver40:
I was wondering this myself. I don't want to mess with my 2.4.4 TWRP if I don't have to. I also wanted to test the newest update but come back to CROMI 4.3 since its running so great and fast right now.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
Yeah that would be the order of operations to upgrade firmware and recovery. I guess there is no point in upgrading those yet if you are using CROMI.

What was the last version of ASUS firmware you flashed on there?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EABonney:
I am not sure sadly, I know I am running CROMi 4.3-10.6.1.1 on my tablet right now. I am pretty sure I have the latest firmware flashed as I took it back to stock about a month ago and downloaded the firmware from Asus and flashed that. Is there a what to tell what firmware I have installed?

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Ok found it....I have 10.6.1.8-20130225

That is what is currently showing on my bootloader screen right this second.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
You still need the modified version of twrp 2.4.4 for JB4.2 http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EABonney:
Interesting...even with this version it won't let me mount the sdcard nor can I see or make a backup to it. This basically is acting the same way that 2.5.0.0 is when I downloaded the version for JB4.2. Well guess I will have to do more research tomorrow, very strange and odd.

Thanks for all the help this evening! At least I was lucky and no bricks happened. :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
When i first installed each of the recoveries it didnt show mine at first, I had to click "up a level" a couple times on the directories, then it listed my SD card as "external_sdcard" amongst other folders
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pcoussa:
OK. So I checked my firmware and I have V 10.6.1.14.4/WW. Running 4.3 (Cromi-x). I am also running V2.4.4.0-42. Will 2.5 work?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] phil_man:
No. You must have a 10.6.1.15.3 or more for TWRP 2.5.x
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Hammerhand.17:
Maybe a little offtopic, but I see that some of you have a battery circle mod, and I don't know how can I find it for our tablet. Any help?

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mloc33:
I`m trying to get my tab ready in order to flash this ROM, coming from 4.1.1.

I`ve flashed TWRP and stock 4.1.2, but in the guide I used there was no firmware 10.6.1.15.3 WW, so I flashed Version WW_V10.6.1.8.

First time I flashed TWRP, it would`nt or did`nt go into it, so I flashed it again, now I`ve a double screen in TWRP and it`s difficult to try make a selection to wipe in preparation for this ROM.

Sorry if this is to off topic, but I`m so close to getting onto this ROM, I thought I`d try asking here, cheers.

- coming from 4.1

- backup before total wipe

Use the tutorial given in my guide. The double-screen issue is fixed with the latest version from Asus. Be aware that on the website there is an error on the WW build, it says US on the description. See the region from the title instead ;)

But I'm confused. It has been stated here that you must me on the 4.2 patched TWRP per this ROM. ???
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] elesbb:
There is a 2.4.4.0 PATCHED TWRP that you MUST be on for the TF300T running the FIRST JB bootloader. If you are on the LATEST OFFICIAL ASUS bootloader, then you need the 2.5.0.0_4.2 TWRP (Look for JB in the blob name)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lazer9:
Ok I'm so confused and presently porked. I've lost all recovery with every method I'm trying to get it back. All I manage to come up with is a double screen which is unusable for recovery TWRP listing version 2.5.0.0 after trying all given links so far. I'm running the lastest CROMi 4.3 Final as per this thread. How oh how please do I successfully get my proper recovery back? Nothing is working. I screwed up initially when updating per the TWRP thread to V2.5.0.0 not noting the kernel requirement or whatever.

Under About: it lists as 3.1.10-10.6.1.14.4 if that is of any help.

And another thing. I'm having to push these with ADB once booted as I'm getting a "FAILURE" or stuck in "SENDING" everytime when using Vol Down/Reboot to fastboot method. :mad:

And thats the one giving the weird graphics layout? Saying its doubling the display?

Also, reboot to download mode and tell me everything that is displayed there, im refering to the text in the upper left hand corner.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:

I'm about to release 4.4 and would like the conversation to stay on topic to that please. :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scarmona:
Ok... Finally took the leap of faith from Hydro. I followed the instructions in OP and installed latest WW stock Asus Rom with TWRP (2.2.2.0), I wiped all and formatted data. Then booted the stock rom with no issues. After that I flashed the 2.5.0.0 TWRP blob (4.2 version) with fastboot, and restarted. Last... I fully wiped again and isntalled CROMi through TWRP.

Booted with no problems.

I must say I loved the installation menu and options, right now my tablet is installing the apps from the play store.

Hope this helps those who are looking to switch. My tablet is a TF300T by the way.
