@sbdags - now running WW beta6 with "No notification" patch and it's working perfectly. No issues to report yet! Good stuff.

I do have a few questions/suggestions:

1. Stock Google 4.2 Launcher - If I install it, along with the stock Asus 4.1-style Launcher, is there any way to switch completely back and forth between 4.1-style launcher (4.1-style softkeys) and 4.2 style-launcher (with 4.2-style softkeys) without re-installing? When I installed both, I got the 4.2-style launcher with 4.1-style soft-keys - I couldn't find a way back to 4.1-style launcher and softkeys.

I hope that makes sense...

2. If I select to install the Setup option to switch between 4.1/4.2-style launcher, does it automatically install the 4.2-style launcher, even if I didn't specifically select it during the "launcher install" screen?

3. A couple suggestions for future versions:

a. Add a few "Typical Install" options to the beginning of the Aroma installer, so that you don't have to go through the screen one-by-one, especially in testing situations where you keep re-installing and want to keep the install exactly the same. For example:

1. Minimum install (bare-minimum needed to run ROM)

2. Typical Install (Most "normal" users would select this - basically just uses all defaults options)

3. Full Install (install all optional components and apps)

4. Custom Install (the current "normal" install)

Of course, a way to "start" with one of these (1-3) and then customize it further from there would really be awesome - maybe a way of having a "custom 1-3" mode where it just resets the defaults for the install according to the mode selected and then the user would still step through each screen in order to customer the install.

Just some questions/thoughts/suggestions!!

Thanks again @sbdags - your support and ROM are truly one-of-a-kind!

"data2sd not working perfectly yet"

what's that mean exactly? works mostly but with FCs, doesn't recognize at all, works but some people having problems, eats my face off, unleashes NK nuclear holocaust?

Excellent (and uber fast) work so far! Can't wait for data2sd to get its lazy ass up and rolling again :fingers-crossed:

Clean setup of 4.3b6

Used TWRP 2.5.0.0 to Nandroid, Factory-wipe, Install Cromi-X and usual 'after flash wipe'

Almost no restore of anything, all newly downloaded from Play Store and newly setup by hand.

Only Nova was restored from a file made with 4.3b4

I get a "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" error after reboot.

Clicking OK brings me to a 'normal looking' device, I do not noticing mistakes.

If a list of options I choose in Aroma is needed, please tell me, so I'll create and provide it.

PS Navigation is functional for me in 4.3b6 it did not catch Sats in 4.3b4

No Notification is working too

Best regards,

Ruud

I not sure i'm on board with this. Sounds good at first but the amount of work could be tremendous and possibly increase download file size. Who would arbitrate the various settings.

in the spirit of android, give me a working framework and let me do the rest.

Hey all,

Just in the process of unlocking.

Used Goo and installed 2.5.0.0 TWRP

Do I then just put the bootloader and TWRP flash file from this thread on my micro SD? and open in TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] elesbb:
What you are referring to here are the actual launchers. Remember on 4.1.1 the apps drawer icon is in the top left? Well on 4.2 the apps drawer launcher is in the bottom center. Thats all those are.

Now, about the UI switching from 4.1 to 4.2 and vice versa, those are SystemUI settings. Meaning, the status bar and notifications will be at the top, while navigation buttons are on the bottom for the 4.2 UI layout. Where 4.1 UI layout has the notifications and status bar on the bottom right and navigation buttons on the bottom left. Asus misuses the term "launcher" it should really be wordes LAYOUT. As that is all that is being changed. No launchers are being changed.

So, you dont need any of the stock launchers to run either the 4.1 or 4.2 layouts (I personally do not have any of the stock launchers cause i use APEX Pro as my main launcher)

The only thing you need to worry about in terms of switching between the 4.1 and 4.2 layout is the option of picking it inside the aroma installer.

Im actually now going to decompile the settings menu and change the term "Launcher" to "Layout" as "Launcher" is not the proper term to use. Hence all this confusion xD
[Asus Transformer TF700] Reginald476:
Yep, make sure you let it boot up before trying to flash the ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Actually, I agree that Android should remain open and you could still always use the "custom" install (which would do exactly what it does now).

In regards to download size, really all we are doing is adding an additional Aroma screen that lets users select a "group" of default settings based on their intended usage and then (optionally) skipping all of the detail screens. The download size would remain almost identical (just some additional Aroma files, which are very small).

Like I said, it's basically just a few different sets of defaults during the install. Would be great for repetitive installs for testing, etc, or for the casual user that doesn't necessarily want to go through all of the screens.

Just a thought... Oh, and of course @ sbdags would decide the various settings! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] elesbb:
It wont increase download size. Its a decent idea IMO. All you would have to do in aroma installer is have the Three options "Full, Custom, Minimal or whatever" as say a prompt after installing kernels, then after you pick whichever one you want, aroma will pre-set what options are enabled the rest of the way through the installer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes I agree, also would like to add, after a welcome aroma installer screen, we should have 2 choices, 1) install kernel only 2) install rom and kernel, then once you picked option 2 you will have the 3 choices that elesbb mentioned above, for option1, you will get a list of kernel and that's it. During testing ,many timeI just want to switch just kernel, nothing else.:p

This is my first CROM and it is INCREDIBLE.

Can't thank you enough. Checked most of the options. Only thing I'm not too fond of is the stock CROMI launcher but i'll deal with it!

One quick thing, what is the Lagfix file for?
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
LagFix is a tool that, if you familiar with Windows, defrags the memory on your tablet. And what do you mean by Stock CROMI Launcher?

[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Am starting to fall in love with this Tablet all over again thanks to our Boss Sbdags... Only downside to it is that, and am being brutally honest here, so haters might hate, but don't care, this Tablet is no longer a contender gaming wise.

Let me explain myself, what I mean is that this tablet performs very poorly when it comes to high quality games. Not entirely its fault, don't get me wrong, nVidia is to blame more than ASUS here. But the link only thing ASUS is guilty of is choosing nVidia Tegra 3 as the GPU of choice.

After a long day reading on the matter, Tegra based devices have been the ones which had the shortest lives. Whereas Adreno 320 and 400 based devices have been the most successful gaming wise.

Thing is, to me, nVidia is synonymous with high quality gaming. But when products with an nVidia part fail or have an extremely short life, I start to worry.

Anyway, Sbdags and the CROMi-X team, are doing an amazing job to prolong the life of our beloved TF700T, but there is just so much they can do. Props to them for their non stop dedication.

Bottom line is, am letting go of this tablet when games are concerned, leaving it for Media streaming. Getting myself an iPad 4 or 5 just for gaming. As a media tablet the TF700 is a precious gem, which turns into the ugly duckling as soon as we attempt to game on it. The iPad is the total opposite, shines gaming wise, dies when it comes to media.

.... Sorry for short off topic but had to clarify a thing or 2...

I have zero issues gaming. For instance I play shadowgun multiplayer online with no issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aleitch:
I went back an did a full factory reset, wiped all the caches and reflashed beta 4. It ran great for a while. I reinstalled all my apps (from the Play Store) and restored the app data from the Nandroid backup (using TI) and over the next several hours my tablet became really unstable, getting to the point that it continuously locked up and had to rebooted over and over. I tried to DL beta 6 and had to reboot about 10 times during the DL with it failing to properly download (not surprised).

I restored to the stock 4.2 ROM, rooted, via TWRP Nandroid backup and all is well. Just thought SBDAGS should know of my problems. I'm not complaining, it is a beta after all. I'll try to dl beta 6 and give it a go.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nomad10002:
I think restoring data did it. If I start from scratch I never restore backed up data. I download my apps and set them all up again. Hope that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What was the answer? I'm curious.

No dates but soon. Seems b6 is going down well :)

Anyone mind having the inverted version as stock seeing as the new white one is boring and fugly?

Great suggestions. Something for 4.4. :)

Same I believe.

It means it's a crude implementation. It will work if you have your ext 4 partition set up but I haven't really testested it and you can't see internal either.

Should not get any FCS but if in doubt full wipe.

Welcome aboard! :good:

Works fine here. Do you have a site I can test?
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
What I meant with limited gaming support. Not many games run without the help of custom OC kernels and stuff like that. Some are not supported period. Hate that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I am sorry but I disagree. It has more to do with the GPU than the cpu . tegra 3 is plenty, the problem is the GPU not being able to push a full HD screen. Having screen issues usually has to do with GPU. that is why on stock you get lags constantly. The CPU is a primary factor but you cannot blame the CPU as it is plenty strong. The gpu and crappy write and read speed is to blame even though it has gotten better with 4.2.1.

[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Did you read right? I was talking about GPU not CPU, I never mentioned CPU. Tegra is the GPU not CPU.

Anyway back on topic, 4.3b6 has done wonders media and general performance wise. Am speechless. Darren and the CROMi-X team, you guys are miracle workers. When I was almost gonna call it quits on this Tablet, you make me fall for it over and over again.

Keep it up guys.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Tegra is a SoC, so it is both GPU and CPU. But yes, the GPU part is clearly the weaker of the two.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Exactly what I was on about, it's an SoC with a very weak GPU, which makes gaming more of a chore, or nightmare than on Adreno based devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
They are both one and the same but the GPU is the weaker of the two because it was built for lower resolution screens. that is why the nexus seems to run much better. Pretty much the same in the CPU department but have totally different GPU s.

[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Yep. So, my point being gaming on the TF700 is not fun, when I do find a game I like, if ever, it either runs slow, or just doesn't run at all. If by some miracle a game runs smoothly, after I have flashed an OC kernel device starts heating up like a mofo... Or even worse stuff.

... Enough about all that, I will soon have a couple blog posts about that and the trouble of Play Store games vs iOS App Store...

Hope some of you guys read my blog lol...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Yes the kernsls that are made tweak it to run much better but the heart is always an issue. I was told as long as its under 60c you would be OK but that is extremely hot to the touch.

back to 4.1 layout I guess....
[Asus Transformer TF700] MHotovec:
It seems like you've answered your own question. Changing to the 4.1 layout (launcher) puts the buttons back where they 'belong'.

I updated to 4.3b6 from 4.3b4. I was having a problem in 4.3b4 with not being able to move files from the internal (/sdcard) to external (/removable) and the problem is also with 4.3b6. A portion (anywhere from 17% to 31%) will write to the /removable sd card and then the app will crash. This has occured with both es file Explorer and Root Explorer. Any idea's from anyone?

As for running Quadrant Standard, it works fine here!

UPDATE and NOOB (me ;) ) Alert. I now must join the members that say to reinstall your apps from the Google Play store. The problem I was having using ES Explorer and Root Explorer to move or copy files to /removable sd card was directly related to installing them using Titanium Backup. I never had a problem using TiBu in the past and why it started now I do not know. But, after I uninstalled ES Explorer and Root Explorer and reinstalled them using Google Play, I can now move/copy files between /sdcard and /removable sdcard. :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] blickley:
I have a question about the stock browser. I'm not sure if this is an issue with CROMi (b6) or with the latest stock too.

I like to set my UA String to "iPad". This causes some sites to render in a better mode, for example Facebook, which keeps it out of mobile view.

The setting for UA String in the settings under "labs" doesn't work. I can change it to any option, but it doesn't change it. Going to http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/ always shows the Android user agent.

If I go to "about:debug" in the browser, this temporarily adds a debug section to the settings, which also has the UA Agent setting. After doing this, I can successfully change the UA from either option.

The problem is that after closing the browser, the debug menu goes away and the UA string reverts.

Any way to make this permanent? I don't recall this issue in previous CROM versions, thought maybe it had somethingng to do with the new changes to recreate the Browser2Ram optimizations. Right now I ha e to do the abut:debug thing each time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Splaktar:
I tried this again with 4.3b6 and Factory Reset (the new TWRP interface for this is not obvious). It boots now, but I still got the SuperSu/root is not installed after flashing the ROM. I can't find any other posts about this in the OP or anywhere in this thread. There were no installation instructions about needing to run/use/install a rootkeeper, but I can't image what else might be the issue? When I boot up, SuperSu says that it cannot install superuser "SuperSU's su binary is not present, this is a fatal error!".

Is this something to do with the new location of the sdcard or something? Is there a manual step that is needed after installing? I don't have an external SD card in it.

I verified that su and Superuser.apk are located in /supersu. I've tried copying Superuser.apk to /system/app but that just got me the SuperSU installer (instead of SuperSu app) when I booted up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
If you are using CleanROM (I'm assuming you are since you posted here), then you don't need to do the "about:debug" thing - the UA Agent option is always available under the Labs menu option - and it sticks.

I got a question for those using the new beta and 4.2.1 stock based roms. Ever since I used it my keyboard dock has been acting strange. The keyboard part will become unresponsive byt the top row of buttons still works. I dont understand what is causing this but it can become annoying because you have to redock it to make the keyboard work. Just curious if anyone else had this problem. The keyboard itself cant be broke if the top row still works. Just seems strange why it is not working half the time.
