My initial and unscientific observation is - YES please carry on. The machine seems to (re)launch apps much faster now.

One quick question for you Bagsie - have you seen the request for someone to handle a port of PACMAN for the TF700t. Someone with experience of building and fixing Android ROM's :) Just wondered like... (EDIT: Gah just spotted I'm in the wrong thread here... !!)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Hmm interesting. No I didn't change anything.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
I was half asleep when I flashed it and I was flashing my n7 too so I might have flashed the ccs patch out of habit lol so I'll reflash it and see how it goes

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

Just reflashed and ccs wanted to update and now its broke lol so i must have flashed the ccs patch by habit lmao, but is there a way of getting the browser, file manager and this epic keyboard ported to my n7??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] hardslog:
Yes you probably can (for the keyboard anyway). I ported the transformer keyboard to Acer Iconia roms as well as CM roms. These are the files you ususally need:

app: XT9IME.apk

lib: libchinesetrace.so, libjni_xt9input.so, libjni_xt9korean.so, libshaperwriter.so

usr: the whole xt9 folder

Does anyone know if there is a way to revert to an old Google Maps version on this ROM

I really dislike the new version, mainly because some essential functions are not included (yet). I've planned the route for my upcoming holiday in Maps on PC, but now I can't use My Maps/Places layers to view them on tablet :(

PS. a suggestion for a good (free) alternative app to view my maps/tracks/places is also appreciated!

EDIT: I found an Maps 6.xx .apk but it won't let me install it..
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ch3mn3y:
First delete older version. Settings->Apps if user app or TitaniumBackup/root explorer if system app

Sent using tf300t - CROMI-X/Hundsbuah
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] elesbb:
If you click the little dude in the new Google maps it should show you saved maps.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] meldrak:
ah ah you are "cheating" with quadrant, it does not reflet the overall performance,

but consider that you'll have same improvements with all apps that use cache

even with a good class 6 sdcard many apss are more responsive.

let me know on my thread if autostart is now working?

thanks
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
Getting a little nervous here.

I downloaded 5.0 Beta 2 and from TWRP am attempting to install it. I am upgrading from CROMI-X 4.7, with TWRP 2.5-4.2 and Hunds kernel v11.

It is in the "Installing" screen but progress has been stalled at 0.0% for about twenty minutes. Am I just being impatient or have I screwed up here?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Just hard reboot back to twrp, it happened to me too, it's a bug in aroma mate don't worry
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
Whew! Thank you robgee! That would have been my choice if it didn't progress after an hour. But I sure didn't want to jump the gun and really foul things up.

Installation is completed and running like a dream. :good:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crenshaw1979:
Caching to my sd card appears to be working but YouTube doesn't want to work anymore, reset YouTube settings/cache and re-ran cache2sd still not working, not a big deal but a fix should be coming soon? Will try uninstalling and reinstalling....

Any gamma correction being planed to be installed or any app suggestions for correcting gamma?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] woodsonmh:
Ive seen this happen a couple of times. If aroma shows zero its a fail. The time it works it goes to something like .17 very quickly.

Just hard reset to twrp and install.

Woody
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
I've had it happen on other versions too mate and sbdags helped me out back then :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yeah cache2sd doesn't seem to be compatible with YouTube. I'll see if I can change the script to exude it. As for changing gamma I'm not aware of how to do that.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Will do mate. As above we need to exclude YouTube as it causes it to force close.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crenshaw1979:
Removing youtube and reinstalling it did not fix cache2sd problem..
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
No it won't. Currently if you have cache2sd installed it breaks YouTube. The temporary fix is unmount cache2sd by using command

SU

cache2sd -u

In a terminal
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Right I reckon CROMi-X 5.0 RC1 deserves a run out tonight. Here is the changelog as a teaser :) Unless I find any bugs in the next 30 mins of testing I'll start some uploads. :fingers-crossed:

SMASHED!! :victory::victory::victory:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
That's a stupidly high score mate I hope those extreme tweaks work on our tf300 's as well as they do on your tf700 :) but does that extreme tweaks kill the battery?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Getting 7300 on quad is never going to be kind to your battery :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Very true but I don't need to overlook because you soo good at what you do :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mescalinedreamz:
to run 5.0 should we be running 10.6.1.153 or 10.6.18?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Works on either but I prefer 15.3 or 27.1 if you are comfortable upgrading and don't brick ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
CROMi-X 5.0RC1 Public Beta

Okay! Release Candidate 1 up for grabs.

First many thanks to elsebb who has created the CROMI Control app for you to test. :D :good: So some options that were in Aroma before are now controlled from the app. Please send him thanks and appreciation as he has worked hard on this and it can now shape the rom in the future. I see things like theming and all sorts of cool stuff becoming available. Everything is an option so if you don't use them or set them they keep the rom stock ;)

Secondly you will find an extreme tweaks edition when flashing. Thanks to LetMeKnow who sent me many many tweaks. So this one is experimental. If you flash that option with hunds, and use the Over-Volt option later you will see 7300+ on quadrant - not sure if it will work with the TF300/201 yet. Possibly more if you then overclock and use cache2sd as well. If you get issues please report and make it clear you went with the ET edition. ;)

Thirdly you will now get the automated cache2sd script which I have tweaked for meldrak to work for CROMi-X. You need a fast SD card remember. If yours is slow or fragged you might get worse performance. I have also fixed the YouTube crashing issue.

TF700 ONLY : Lastly I have implemented a script to safely apply the 1280x800 mod that someone else posted elsewhere for TF700 users - sorry forgot who you are. This puts the correct DPI into the build.prop now if you choose it which eliminates the bootloop risks. It will make your graphics insanely fast and make most games playable (and also available). Seriously for 3d gaming this is a must. For the time being to undo it reflash the rom and choose to go back to 1920x1200. Note on 1200x800 the stock launcher can't display a full row of icons so you are better off with Apex or Nova.

Enjoy!! :cool::cool::cool:

Changelog:

23/08/2013 - v5.0RC1 CROMi-X

o	Introducing the first beta release of CROMI CONTROL by elesbb v1.2. This allows you to control notifications, volume steps, USB charging and more!

Thanks for all the motivation and keeping me in a good mood! :) :)

For everyone else, you may notice that the "kill" option does not work when using layout 4.1, well flash attached zip in recovery and it will work :)

Nothing special, just a simple zip installer.

I bought my Me301 two weeks ago and intended to wait with flashing this rom untill i was absolutely sure the tablet had no defects.

This morning i could not wait any longer. Screw Asus. Who needs warranty anyway.

Cromi X 5.0 rc1 up and running. :thumbup::D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Ill see what i can do :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Sovn:
Hello,

I see the new 5.0 beta needs a newer bootloader?

Im on the 10.6.1.15.3.

And I was wondering, if I download the official rom and install it via TWRP (so putting it on the sd card and installing it with TWRP as a custom rom...as usually you need to update the Cromi-x) will it update my bootloader to 10.6.1.27.1? and do I have to flash TWRP after that with fastboot??

I did this once reading tons of guides and all when updating to10.6.1.15.3, but that was almost half an year ago and now I cant remember the procedure.

Sry for the incovinience and all, a simple no-yes answer will suffice

I mean, does the 10.6.1.27.1 update change the bootloader again compared to 10.6.1.15.3 ?(as we know it was a pain doing the 10.6.1.15.3 update as it drasticaly changed the bootloader compared to the older version 10.6.1.8 (I think)....at least thats how I remember things)

-but my guess is, newer 5.0+ Cromix versions will require the 10.6.1.27.1 bootloader

edit: plus info, so Im using the 4.7 cromix right now and loving it, and well, when I turned to the dark side of the force(i mean after tons of thoughts I finally unlocked the bootloader), I remember flashing the official 10.6.1.15.3 rom, then reflashing the TWRP, then finally I could install Cromix....or something like that...of course it was an earlier version than 4.7, but then updating it was a breeze with TWRP 2.5.0.0
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Your bootloader is fine.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Sovn:
THX for the quick reply :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ganggreen777:
I am on 6.4.6/ 10.6.1.15.3

Can I just download the updated rom and flash?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
Holy custom ROM Batman!

Every time I think you can't possibly improve on CROMI-X you prove me wrong. This newest version is very nice. While I don't see any improvement in performance, the extra tweaks, apps and updates make it well worth the upgrade from v 4.7.

Thank you to all who work on this ROM and make it the best one by far.

Update: I was just at our local Best Buy and poked around on a Samsung Note 10.1. In my humble opinion, I think my Tf300T with your ROM and Hundsbauh‘s kernel set to 1.4 Ghz and 484mv is just as fast and responsive as the Note. Not to mention I paid $250 less for it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Yes you can mate but I suggest doing a full wipe but you can try without first the worst that will happen is it will be laggy then you will have to wipe and Reinstall
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] onlinejobwork:
can you please guide me what files/link/guide you used to ROOT, Install custom Recovery and install ROM

I'm on Aasus stock android 4.2.1 with version 10.6.1.29 from UK

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mescalinedreamz:
Isnt 5.0c based on v10.6.1.1.27.1? Wouldnt it be better if we were using that bootloader? Or does it matter or change things at all?

Also,, i downloaded the patched version of twrp to use when i installed 4.7.0. The twrp i downloaded was 2.5 but after installing it says 2.6? Will this be a problem when i try out 5.0c? It seems to work fine for 4.7.0.

One more question, what is the best way to wipe in twrp to switch from 4.7.0 to 5.0c. People say a full wipe but what is a full wipe exactly?

And another thing, with 5.0c. Does the cach2sd work automatically with that version? The terminal is not needed? Thanks!

And for those who are wondering if twrp 2.6 works with chromi 5.03 beta , it does! I have been running 5.03 beta for a day now, and ran chromi 4.7.0 for over a week with twrp version 2.6.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Wow so many questions :)

There is no difference between 15.3 and 27.1 so either boatloader is fine. Whatever TWRP you are using now with 4.7 is also fine. 2.5 is better than 2.6 though, but if it works why change it?

If you want a clean install do a factory wipe in TWRP. That's the default wipe. You'll lose your apps and data but not your media and backups. If you wipe anything more you'll lose that as well. You can try a dirty flash but if you have problems then a factory wipe is all you need.

Yes cache2sd is automatic if you select it on RC1.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] void1024:
Up and running with RC1 - running perfect :)

But I think that I have found one minor bug - the option to remove the docking notification is not in the installer any more...

Also the notification is still there when removing the TF300T from the dock (I don't know if this is a bug, I have always selected the option in the installer).
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mescalinedreamz:
Thanks for the reply, i am officially on 5.0c running 10.6.1.153 , running twrp 2.6 and this rom is speedy! Things now open immediately, no lag at all!

Great job on this update, everything seems better then perfect!

I have a question about the volume steps, what number should i put in for the highest volume? 100? Sorry if thats a stupid question but i wasnt sure if its 100 or 10 or if its a decimal etc.

One more thing, anyone know the best setting for the stock browser? In settings/labs what should i have checked/unchecked.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
I recommend you start with 25. So this means you get 25 steps between 0 and 100%. If you put in 99 (which is the max) You'll have to click 99 times to go from 0 to full ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mescalinedreamz:
Sorry to keep bugging you but it will not let me checkmark the disable safe media volume. Its all greyed out.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yes it is not enabled yet :)

Hey mate ive found a bug if I unlock my keyboard it still says it's docked in the notification bar and only a reboot fixes it although keyboard manager realises that it's undocked, I'm using the v5rc1 with the extreme tweaks enabled
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] archspijkenisse:
I will try to post a guide tomorrow.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mescalinedreamz:
Is there a system mod or edit to increase headphone volume? I could use volume+ but i really dont like apps running in the background eating resources. I had read thats elsbb helped with audio mods on 4.7.0, should i contact him?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] elesbb:
Under CROMI Control you can adjust the amount of levels you have. Don't think that it "boosts" the volume though.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] alexv59:
This is what I did. You should also make sure that you have the fastboot utility installed on your PC.

1. If locked then unlock bootloader first. You can get the unlocker from the ASUS web site. You will need version 8.

2. Go to the TWRP site and download TWRP 2.6 to your pc. Be careful that you select the version for JB 4,2. There are three different TWRP blobs and they are for different firmware versions. Based on the description you posted above indicates that will need the TWRP 2.6 with "4.2" as part of the file name. The beauty of this version is that once installed, you will need to manually reboot to recovery at which point TWRP will check for root. If you are not rooted it will ask you if you want to root. Choosing yes will download and install SuperSU for you.

3. After unlocking your tablet reboot into fast mode, use fastboot to install the TWRP 4.2 blob, reboot back to recovery and allow TWRP to automagikcally root the tablet for you.

Sorry I did not provide links but I am writing this from a different system. You can find the files you need by googling TWRP 2.6 download and searching this forum for installing TWRP.

HTH
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
The last I heard, TWRP 2.6 was still unstable and buggy. Unless something has changed, I suggest staying with TWRP 2.5-4.2. It is tried and true.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] woodsonmh:
I agree. I've had problems with 2.6.

Woody
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] vixs:
5Rc1

I have to press the power button couple of times for the tablet to get to the lock screen... basically after the screen is off and press power button.. it doesn't turn on the 1st try..may be after 2 or 3 times.

Installed with Extreme Tweak.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] alexv59:
I heard similar. But I purchased this tablet used and it was completely stock with a very outdated firmware. I flashed it up to 25.1 After much research and failed attempts at root came to the conclusion that TWRP 2.6 was my best chance at a stable root.

The method I mention in my reply worked for me on my first attempt. I knew there were reported issues but I saw no other choice. It worked for me and I still use it on a regular basis. As we all know each device can act differently. Out of the box they're all the same. Three months later they're all different :cyclops: That being said I have had absolutely no issues using it on three polar opposite devices however, YMMV
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
We can't reproduce this. How do you make it happen?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
its nothing major mate is just the dock notification wont go away lol, i flashed v5rc1 with extreme tweaks and in cromi control i set media volume to 35 steps, i ticked the kill app option (which is the whole of the nav barapart from notifications and soft keys, i thought it would be smaller lol) and choose to swipe away headphones and sd card nofications but i didnt tick the dock one to start with but i just tried to set it to default and its still there?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Make sure you are applying the change and rebooting? Too much booze for the birthday boy me thinks. :p
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Ha ha yes and no lmao I did reboot mate but I just tried using cromi control to remove the dock notification and it's gone now, and it's not really needed as I know when the keyboard is docked just by looking at it lmao

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Hey mate I just re flashed I tried the ww version instead to see how it compares and the dock notification thing is back lol so it's not a extreme tweak thing

[MENTION=2675647]elesbb[/MENTION] to the rescue. :p
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
he has already sent me a pm :), its strange because its only the notification bar that says its still docked, if i long click the notification and click app info it takes me to transformer services if that helps at all lol:confused:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Blubberor:
As I do not have time for a logcat (sorry for that) I solved it the same way.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
logcat -d -v time > /sdcard/NTFSLog.txt

then press enter. Do this in a terminal emulator. You will find the log inside the root of the internal SD card.

Or if you know how to use ADB do

adb logcat -d -v time > %USERPROFILE%\Documents\NTFSLog.txt

Then press enter. You will find the log inside your "My Documents" directory.

It would be easiest if you ran the program and then immediately did the log export.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] woodsonmh:
Root and recovery are two different things, so your answer is a little confusing . You have to have root first. You then need to unlock, and then install a custom recovery (twrp).

I could not get twrp 2.6 to do a backup.

Woody
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Agreed TWRP 2.6 is not good. Stay away from it imo. It doesn't mount all partitions and in some cases you can't backup and even worse it won't let you restore a previous backup.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] archspijkenisse:
The steps i followed to flash Cromi X on my Asus Me301:

First of all, download the latest original Asus firmware for your tablet that can be rooted with motochopper.

That will be version 10.6.1.25-20130517. Motochopper won’t work on higher firmwares.

Download it from Here

* download zip file from asus.com

* unzip it once

* rename unzipped zip (wow...) to EP201_1024_SDUPDATE.zip

* turn off tablet

* place sdcard in slot

* power + vol down

* select RCK

And wait for 15 minutes.

Your tablet is now updated to firmware 10.6.1.25-201305017.

Next, enable USB Debugging:

Go to settings > about Tablet

Now tap on Build Number seven times repeatedly. Once you press it 5 times it gives you a quick note: “Press it two more times to be a developer!”. And, after tapping 7 times you will see ‘You are now a developer’ message.

Now go to Settings > developer options and enable USB Debugging.

Root with Motochopper

Download motochopper from here

- Unzip motochopper.zip on your PC

- Connect Tablet to your PC

- Click Run.bat and follow the steps. After reboot, your tablet should be rooted.

- Open the SuperSU app that’s on your tablet now and follow the steps to update the SU-Binary.

- Download the Busybox app from google play here

Unlock your tablet

Download the unlock tool, put it on your tablet and use a file manger to locate the file on your tablet and run it.

Your bootloader will be unlocked after running this app (You lose warranty!):

Unlock Tool

Install Android SDK + ADB Driver

Download it here:

- Install on PC

Install TWRP recovery

Download the file TWRP Flashscript ME301 - Magixen:

tool

- Run “Klicke mich zum starten”

Follow the steps and your tablet should have TWRP recovery installed.

Install CROMI

- Download the latest Cromi X and put it on the root of your tablet.

- Power off tablet.

- Reboot to recovery (Power on + Volume down button)

- Wipe Cache, Dalvik and System.

- Install from zip and choose the downloaded Cromi file.

After reboot your tablet is running Cromi.

I think that should be it.
