Running Chromi-X 4.4 since a week or more. With blue flames boot animation, but I have seen it only once. No restart, no SOD, no lags. Just running fine. Really awesome build!

And btw: Apex is just fine.

Is it possible to place the soft buttons in 4.2-launcher to the left? I like the look, but placed in the middle of the screen is just useless.

I have the new Cromi X boot animation, all the same apps and settings that I normally use, and I am on the deox rom,

Also my SOD was my first ever. but still very happy with this rom,
[Asus Transformer TF700] aleitch:
I thought SOD was when the tab went to sleep and wouldn't wake up at all necessitating a reboot by holding down the power button until reboot happens or using the reset button on the dock. I had a few on 4.4 but so far not on 4.4.1 I think. Only mod is the Bravia mod.

Speaking of mods is there a list somewhere explaining what the mods included in the ROM are supposed to do? Seems like a great sticky to me to keep the questions to a min.

Thanks to SBDags--I sent beer money.

CROMi-X 4.4.1 ODEXED TWRP 2.5 Rooted & Unlocked
[Asus Transformer TF700] Burt Reynolds:
4.2.1 stock has issues...

Hello peoples, thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I'm not on this ROM, stuck with 3.4.7. But prior to installing CROMI I was on the ASUS stock 4.2.1 and experienced many of the issues some of you are noting. SOD, WiFi speeds extremely slow, general lagginess. It's what got me off the fence about unlocking and rooting, 'cause I was at my wits end.

I guess what I'm implying is that there appears to be something fundamentally flawed with the stock ROM that may not have been ferreted out yet. Obviously it's not affecting everyone,but...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
That is possible. ASUS has taken down the 4.2.1 release from their site. I believe the TF300 got a patch for 4.2.1 released not to long ago and I am guessing a 4.2.1 patch will be released shortly for the TF700. And I hope there comes many many fixes and lots of stability with great performance. But who knows.

Edit: Is it possible to get browser2ram to work with Opera Mobile, or does it already do so?

[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
As far as SOD... I haven't had a single one with this tablet. I have had very slow screen wake up response when pressing the power button to wake it up. At first I thought it was the SOD, but I when I pressed the button off again and on it came up. I have this issue about 3-4 times a day. Not a deal breaker, just annoying...

Edit: BTW... This has happened since I first got the tablet. I don't know if it happens on stock though, I had CROMi on it in the first few hours after I bought it :)

CROMi-X 4.4.1 ODEXED TWRP 2.5 Rooted & Unlocked
[Asus Transformer TF700] toolmanz:
Well I have had my first major problem installing CROMI. I have tried to install 4.4.1 from 4.3 and 4.4. I am running 4.4 no problem and 4.3 no problem.

All are deodex including the 4.4.1. Running _that modded kernel; Installed the same options as always. No lagfix as I have the pro. Installed as no fsysc and the US version.

I have the correct bootloader and 2550 Teamwin.

It goes all the way though to reboot - boots normally and then hangs right at the end when it is finishing boot - stays there no matter how long I leave it. I have tried to install the ROM twice but has the same result.

I am officially stumped :(

Any thoughts?

I will try downloading the package again and try but don't expect a different outcome.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Hi all, been busy recently but been on 4.4 with no SOD.

Could I ask what prop tweaks are added you the latest update?

Is it fine to flash over 4.4 with just a cache and dalvik wipe without any slow down?
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Are you installing over the top of old rom? Try data erase as well cache cleanup if you aren't doing so already. I have recently won a 300 with keyboard. Some of the process of unlocking and installing did not work correctly with keyboard. Everything went fine when i was not docked, so if you have been using a dock you might try installing without it.

Good luck

CR4.4.1 has brought back the old behavior of having to hit the back key several times to actually GO BACK, or exit, when using the stock browser. I was so happy to see the back button work correctly with CR4.4. It does behave this way with all web pages, but I use cnn.com as my home page and the back button only refreshes the current page with this latest CR update.

The back button with stock browser was borked on all other CR releases on cnn.com but CR 4.4 fixed it. Now it's broken again.

Is there some setting to make the back button work correctly?
[Asus Transformer TF700] toolmanz:
Thanks Woody - that's one I hadn't tried. I will give it a shot and report back. :)

I think you might have something messing with your browser, none of the versions have given me the problems you describe, all works normally. Did you by chance dirty flash? If not someone with more knowledge will have to help, but a clean install seems to clear up most peoples problems. Wish I could help a bit more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] René Hitz:
4.4: absolut no problems. since 4.4.1 many S.O.D, normaly when playstor is aktiv in background. I wiped everithing, System, Dalvik and SD card. Fresh install: problem is still here. Tried the kernel with app to sd: the same problem. now with fresh formatet microsd (vFAT via PC) no Problems vor any hours (kernel without app to sd).

After next S.O.D. i go back to 4.4 odex.

hey guys, its been a very long time since iv been on here. i used to be a everyday reader (and occasional poster) but iv been studying for my boards and took a cromi break. therefore, im a lil behind and did not read the past 214 pages so i do apologize if this has been asked.

anyway i just installed 4.4 over 3.4 and it runs great!!! I am using the stock jb 4.2 launcher as im trying to get away from the asus launcher bc i would like as close to a stock experience as posible. the only downside i can see to using the jb launcher is that there is no control for cpu settings (power saver, performance, and middle mode). i know i can use the app setcpu and some other apps in the market. i also know i can just go into asus settings and change it from there. however, i would like to know if there was a way to place an icon or shortcut i can press on my home screen or in the notification tray.,. anywhere thats one click away. iv tried using a shortcut app and it only allows direct access to the asus settings screen so its more like a 4 click process.

2 clicks is the goal!!! one click would be amazing!!! any takers???

thanks in advanced and sorry again if this has been asked already
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
The only way I know how to is create a shortcut to Asus customized settings. I use Nova. Long press on home > shortcuts > activities > settings > Asus customized settings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's related to ad away. If you block certain ad hosts you have to multi click to go back. Reinstall without the ad hosts file from me and make sure ad away is disabled.

strange as not a lot changed between the two. I made some build.prop edits so can check those ..... Will report back later
[Asus Transformer TF700] SurferLTU:

in 4.4 it was ok with one page that I'm using and now in 4.4.1 it's just refreshes current page.

Flashed 4.4.1 earlier tonight and it screams! Love it! No SODs, no problems at all.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Indurus:
When updating from Cromi 3.4.7, after updating bootloader and TWRP, which wipe-options (in the TWRP advanced wipe-menu) are recommended before flashing Cromi-X 4.4.1? Just /cache /dalvik and /data? Or /cache /dalvik /data and /system? Does a /system wipe also wipe /data? Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] bmlarson:
You shouldn't need to wipe system, but both of the options you listed should work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I never wipe anything and everything still works. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Browser to ram used to cause this behavior. Its one of the reasons i don't like using it. This behavior may have changed on later versions? I have not had this problem on previous crom . I

Ive not used adaway for a long time so i don't have sbdags experience with it. I do know it caused several problems when i did.

If this is the case and due to several post recently i would suggest removing adaway from install.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Obviously you like to live dangerously :D

And we all know you have the knowledge to deal with any potential problems - so you can afford to...

I'm chicken and would recommend to anyone moving from a JB 4.1 based rom to 4.2 to wipe EVERYTHING, including the internal SD and re-install all apps from the Store and restore only app data from TiBu.

Not that I'm arguing with the master......:cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I consider any need to wipe anything on a ROM upgrade a bug. You don't need to wipe when installing an official OTA update, so it must not be needed when updating a properly built custom ROM.

Firmware downgrades are different - they are not officially supported, so here it is acceptable if you need to wipe data.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You have high standards :good: We all benefit from it!

But I can't count the posts on the Transformer Forums, where most people are on the stock rom, who experienced major problems after the OTA 4.2 upgrade and solved most - if not all of them - by doing a factory reset.

Not that I'm arguing with the master :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I have never erased internal sd for as long as I've been on clean and stopped using asus factory restore. I thought it was something wrong with twrp the first time i used it. Talk to twrp boys and they said "why would you want to do that for rom changes."

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] Indurus:
thank you, bmlarson and _that!

so wiping /system won't harm the bootloader in any way, it just (as it's called) wipes the system partition, so I will not be able to boot a rom (because no rom is installed after wiping it) but I will be able to enter TWRP by power+volume down and then I can flash Cromi 4.4 from there? is this correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Correct all the way.

Actually, after wiping you just go back to the home page in TWRP and flash the rom from there. No need to reboot into TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Indurus:
And is there a need for formating or repartition the internal storage after wiping everything or should the wipe do it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No, wiping is all you have to do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
I disagree with you _that.

I, for one, always Super Wipe, wiping internal, system, data, cache and dalvik. Only when I do that do I get a smooth experience with any ROM.

And if you have been following my posts, you would know that I do not use any special Mods, tweaks or modifications. My setup has been as follows ever since I have been using CROMi...

Your Kennel v2, FSync off, stock launcher, and no ad blocking apps or UI patches of any kind. I also use BSPlayer and XBMC for streaming media with Apex Pro as my launcher of choice. Not to forget that I freeze stock browser, stock launcher, stock Asus keyboards and ASUS Sync. Disable Hardware Overlays for better YouTube experience. And uncheck the Force GPU and MSAA options in developer settings.

I use Odex always, and restore my apps n data via MyBackup Pro not the nightmare ridden TiBU. So, whenever I dirty flash I always get weird issues after a while. I cannot explain why but I do. Hence why I prefer a Super Wipe.

Just my 5 cents lol.

You and _that probably represent both ends of the spectrum. ;)

I'm right in the middle somewhere. But moving to a substantially different ROM (as in: xenogenesis) I consider it prudent to start with a clean system.

I just uninstalled Adaway and presto! the back button behaves itself again in the browser. So it doesn't appear to be the new b2r causing it.

Confused about Launchers

So I chose to try out the 4.2 "New Style" launcher, but it basically looks just like Apex. So did Android absorb Apex into the code base, or is Apex based on bleeding-edge changes in the Android system launcher? Or whatever...

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I agree that wiping data is often good to work around bugs. But I prefer to fix bugs instead (if possible).

Yes, but it's completely pointless, because the next ROM that you install will format the /system partition anyway. I can't think of any valid reason to wipe /system in the recovery, except as one step to forcefully brick the device.

Funny, I had the smoothest experience after I - as you would call it - "dirty flashed" my modded 4.2.1 deodexed stock ROM.

If you wipe before a ROM installation and then restore everything from a backup, what is the net difference?
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Not everything... Just apps like Twitter and Tapatalk rest like themes got no data so via Play Store... No system apps either. So every update is a clean one. I store nothing on Tablet. It's just a portable media center for me.

[MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] Is there nothing in my last_kmsg that gives an indication of what is wrong? I get these FREEZES now about every 30 minutes. Could it be an app?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Apparently your tablet doesn't like your microSD card. The TF700's SD interface has always been a bit unreliable, and despite various workarounds by Asus they never got it 100% stable. Data2SD taxes the card more heavily than a standard setup that uses it only for media storage, so problems are more likely to appear with Data2SD.

I had similar errors (-110, which means timeout) with old 10.4.4.16 kernels, but it has become better with the workarounds Asus added in 10.4.4.25.

While SD cards should behave like normal block storage devices, some cards fail in strange ways when formatted and used with a non-FAT filesystem.

I come frome Cromi 3.x data2sd and I get bootloops installing 4.4.1. I made a clean install with the standard options and that2 kernel. Nexus ist bootscreen. Md5 Checksum was okay. I installed the new TWRP from the proposed file and followed the instructions.

I dont know what to do next, I tried it three times. Sometimes I make it to the choose language screen but then it freezes again.

Edit:

I tried another kernel, different settings, fsync yes/no, different bootscreens, etc. still in bootloop.
[Asus Transformer TF700] faustus1005:
What _that is saying is that a fully clean install wipes the apps and data, if you reinstall ANY of the apps/data from a previous rom you are essentially nulling a clean install as you have brought previous files into the 'clean' enviroment. If you do this, there really isn't much point

In doing anything other than a cache and dalvik wipe.

I had problems to get TWRP to recognize my sd card. It worked fine before I installed 2.5.5. Is it possible that they dont support it anymore and this caused to damage my tablet?

Is there a whitelist for supported cards?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
[MENTION=244925]usern[/MENTION]: If I were you I'd start by trying to fastboot TWRP 2.5 or newer. Make sure you have at least 2.5
[Asus Transformer TF700] usern ameisval idandnot:
It is 2.5.5. I was able to start it again after some tries.

I think the problem is the sd card. It seems that sometimes it is recognised when I get to the language option screen and then it starts to loop again.

Sigh, factory reset didnt work. What can I do to get a working system?

I figured it out. The Problem is the that2 Kernel and/or/with my sd card.

formating complete system at the moment...
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
If any suspect sd card causing problems then remove it for testing. Get a 8 gig card, dont format it, for testing.

Early on in infinity forums there were discussion about formating sd cards. Fat 32 is native android format. Unfortunately fat 32 cannot handle large files. Extra fat allows larger files. Asus also allows for windows nfts files which would be great if it worked correctly, not too sure about this.

It is my opinion that infinity works best on fat 32, the format micro sd cards have when new.

Im very leery about doing anything to the fat system on a computer that already has io issues. When you push your tablet to the extremes there is very little room for error.

Im sitting here with a tablet that is having no problems on 4.4.1. Particularly after stopping auto updates. I dont go to extremes on install and it looks like what many are using.

A couple of items that might be different on our machines are docks and mico sd cards. If your having unsolved problems then maybe its your micro sd and or what you have done with it. And yes there have been listings of known workable micro sds . There were lots of problems on the high speed cards.

If your having problems 1 remove it. 2 get a slower 8 gig micro, which are fairly cheap and don't muck with formatting. Test. And see if that makes a difference.
