You can just download the 10.6.1.14.8/TWRP 2.5 package and flash it. There's no problem to "downgrade" from 2.6 and you can just stay on 2.5 for the time being. I have not seen any advantage to upgrade to TWRP 2.6 yet.

Before you flash Cromi_X 4.7 you should do a Factory Reset in TWRP though, since Cromi is based on JB 4.1. and Cromi-X is based on JB 4.2.1.

Don't forget to boot into Cromi 3.4.7. AFTER flashing the Bootloader/TWRP package and BEFORE flashing Cromi-X! Don't worry - the JB 4.2 bootloader runs Cromi just fine.

The sequence should be:

flash 10.6.1.14.8/TWRP 2.5 package

boot back into Cromi

Boot into TWRP and make a nandroid backup

Copy the nandroid and anything you care about to your PC or a SD card (just in case)

Choose 'Wipe' in TWRP and do a factory reset (it's the default selection)

Choose 'Install' and flash Cromi-X 4.7

Credit goes to sbdags:

This drain happens whenever you disconnect the tablet/dock and then re-connect with the tablet on or in sleep mode.

To fix it, power down the tablet, connect it to the dock and boot.

You will have to this every time you disconnect the tablet/dock.

Sucks, but inherent in the Asus firmware. The fix works for me :)

Titanium Backup unresponsive as is Gallery and 1/3 (bottom) of screen black long enough for screen capture.

I want "my maps" back. As, i think, this ROM installs several gapps so how do I go about that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't understand the question. Nothing should be unresponsive. Did you not choose maps in the installer. Please don't install any gapps packages over the ROM - maybe that is what you are saying?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:
well, when i boot I get pop up "Unfortunately Titanium has stopped" same with Gallery. I reflashed 4.7 no joy. right now cannot launch TiBU not sure what else is going on yet.

as far as Maps, I selected all of the apps ROM made available. I'm not sure why apps are packaged with ROM as I don't know enough about it. Do they differ from apps from store?

Anyway, I want to revert to whatever version of Maps where "My Maps" is still there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Clear data in settings apps on tibu.

They are packaged in the ROM so that they get installed into /system rather than wasting space in /data

What is my maps? The Google maps included in the ROM is the same on on the store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:
"my maps" was a Maps feature where you could create your own maps and save them and load them from the My Maps link in the app. The latest versions of Maps has removed that feature.

Using My Maps you could create a delivery route for the day and have driver load it into Navigation or whatever. Cool feature.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

um? wont clearing data in Tibu wipe backups whatever?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No it'll remove the settings. Have a nandroid just in case. Your backups will still be there and it should find them again. If you changed the location you will have to repoint the app. You can also back up your settings as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:
ok thank you. cleared data, Ti launched.

I though I was pointing Ti to MicroSD. Created folder there but backups in 0.

I'l figure this stuff out before too long hopefully.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
As you said Google have removed offline maps. Not sure why.
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
No still there . when you go in search bar at the bottom
[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:
so the gapps installed by ROM in system are dependent on ROM updates?

So for an individual gapp, i don't want to update, and grab previous version apk, I can install over system app?

or how does it work?

Thanks much

For anyone interested in My Maps I found a work around to get to them (on my stock phone anyway). cant figure it out on Tab yet.

From stock browser stock jb 4.2 go to your Google Home page and from left side popout menu select Maps and Open with Stock Browser, not Maps.

You have option to select My Maps by clicking My Places from there. All of my maps were there.

there have been a lot of complaints about the removal of features with Maps v7, My Maps being one of them.

the thing I hate the most is the removal of the Traffic layer when in Navigation mode. i used that all the time to see real-time traffic along my whole route and it scaled as you drove. now i have to go to the regular map view and then zoom & scroll manually to keep up with where I am and where the route is going.

anyway, to get My Maps back, you'll need to find an older pre-V7 version of Maps and install that and then disable Auto-Updates.

Version number the same for rom and play.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

It sounds like you may have restored a system app with data from something like titanium backup (don't ever do this). If you have backup of older rom that worked then reflash it. Then flash 4.7 over older rom. If there are system apps you want to restore do not restore data with app.

If your doing a clean flash of rom and then restoring apps be sure not to restore data with system apps. Some say don't restore any data but I've not had a problem with non system apps.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
I don't even consider EVER making backups of ANY system app... That's not even an option..

I restore user apps. I've always restored user apps + data. I ALWAYS do a full wipe with every single flash I do - I never flash dirty, ever...

Since 4.7 all the lag started...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:
Thanks for the apk4 link I'll try what you did.

..

As far as Earth, yes I have app installed. Also new maps goes to Earth vs old satellite view.

Currently there isno way to sync desktop Earth with mobile apps. The work around, I was using, was to create a my Maps from Earth file to view on mobile in Maps. No way I know of to view in Earth. I may have done it once but two empty wine bottles didn't help me remember.

So the whole Maps thing right now is worse than Apples initial map launch which wasn't so good.

Try downloading from another source and reflashing .

You must have some issue as for most people 4.7.0 is the smoothest and fastest yet. Restoring user apps could still be an issue. I mean 4.7.0 is actually 4.6.9 just tidied up - I didn't change anything in the ROM for tweaks or speed or anything like that.

If you do a clean install and don't restore anything how does it feel? You'll need to give it 30 mins to settle of course.

Also try this, boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, reinstall _that's v4 kernel from my kernel installer and reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sgkla:
Just to clarify...

I feel like this is a pretty stupid question, but flashing the OP 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader with the TWRP 2.5.0.0 to downgrade from 2.6.0.0 has absolutely no affect on my kernel, correct? (in other words, I won't have to reflash _that4 kernel afterward)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes that is right, it will keep what ever kernel you had installed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
the TWRP packages are device specific, but share common underlying source code and from what i've heard, this not being able to copy the backups is not device specific.

fwiw, the guy who posted that ZIP says it should work on other devices. it just changes the permissions on the TWRP backup files to 777. you can try it manually and see if it helps.

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I believed all our experts are busy and haven't read you logcat. I had scanned through your logcat. I will try to give you a high level of explanation without any technical details. It means that my understanding may not be correct until some experts confirm it.. You have a lot of Errors but no Fatal which is a good news. All errors are pointing to your Chrome Browser that the page can not be rendered with OpenGL ES 2.0. So you will have some lag with loading the web page because it switches to a different version of OpenGL, maybe 1.1 or 1.0. I don't know if the Chrome has a problem or the firmware on our device not supporting 2.0. You could try a different browser to see if it solves your problem.

You can also try to optimize your GPU to see if it helps. You can try these tweaks on you build.prop to test them out but I don't know if they are still valid.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:
.

OK Thank you. Here's what I've done, good or bad.

Well, I started a few weeks ago with new tab, ota 4.2, unlocked it, installed 4.6.6 to start as suggested as 4.6.7 had lags when you were on vac throwing back grappas. When the 4.6.9 patches came out I thought I'd catch up. downloaded and tried to install in sequence 4.6.7 thru 4.6.8 & 4.6.9 patches. I recently flashed 4.7. All on top of one another. I did nandroid prior to each flash.

When flashing 4.6.7 I tried to also flash clock and pj color theme and boot looped. Did my first backup install of nandroid reflashed 4.6.7 and continued flashing thru 4.6.9 patch. then recently flashed 4.7 and reflashed it once. All ODEX and _that kernel. tried fsync on 1st 4.7 flash to see, did not select currently. I also ran the trim tool after each install.

In your aroma installer prompts I guess I installed most stuff if that's what your asking.

Don't know any better. If some may not be that useful OK. I did not try any of the data to sd or what have you, maybe browser to ram.

If I've made a mess, if you would suggest a path to clean up that would be great.

And just now when your mail popped up in notifications, after clicking on icon took 45 sec to actually open your message.

I've done nothing custom other the the above. Only installed various apps from play store.

Thank you in advance for your help & guidance.

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I don't want them to execute during the testing. If they are working, I can remove them later. A lot of these tweaks that I can not verify if they are even work. If you have some spare time to test them out, we will be more than happy to hear your opinions.. :) Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jt1998:
Me too - exactly. Best one yet for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I think it's time for a clean installation :)

Before you reflash preferably a fresh download of CROMi-X 4.7 do a Wipe > Factory Reset in TWRP.

This should not touch your pictures, videos etc, since TWRP wipes the data partition except for the data/media folder.

If you have a lot of data I would try a factory reset first. For a deep clean format data (under Wipe > Advanced), but it will wipe everything on your internal SD.

Flash the rom.

Do not restore anything with TiBu or Asus Backup.

Go through the setup and see how the tablet peforms. If everything is good, you can slowly, maybe 5 apps at a time, restore apps and their data from a backup. Test the tablet after each batch to exclude or narrow down conflicts. Do not restore any system data!

After you have thoroughly tested your setup you can flash pj's color mod.

The only lag I have on 4.7 is when waking up the tablet. It's completely unresponsive until email, Tapatalk and Dropsync have synced.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:
OK, I think I can get through that process. I don't have loads of data on the tablet yet so should be painless.

I see what you mean about wake up and sync taking some time. OK probably why mail opened slowly, got it.

Do you mean after installing a few apps, and all is kosher, to restore "user" data from Tibu or whatever?

Then install a few more, all looks good, restore data etc. Need to understand that a bit more I guess.

As far as backing up what is the desired setup. Do I point Ti to a folder on microSD or let it use folder on 0? I will need Tibu pro to sync to DropBox right. I found copying backups to PC took forever so my process she no a so good.

Thanks for the assist again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I cannot help you much with the free version of Tibu since I haven't used it in ages (the pro version is a good investment, I think), so I don't know if the free version lets you run batch actions like: "Backup user apps and data".

If you restore user apps and data Tibu will give you a list of the apps contained in it's backup, and I would, from the top down, start with the first five, test the tablet, restore the next 5, etc.

If you plan to format data then yes, you should move your backup folder to a microSD (and anything else you care about). Otherwise you won't have a backup anymore ;)

If you do a Factory Reset the Tibu folder should stay untoched since it is in data/media. But I live by: Data not backed up is data not yet lost.:cyclops:

Same here, funny you should mention Chrome, I personally used chrome but recently noticed once lag started it seemed to double if I used Chrome so 2 days ago I uninstalled it and I'm not sure if it's just a placebo effect but I've only had to reboot due to lag once since... In wondering if there isn't another app or 2 we're missing other then Chrome which is contributing lag?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Splaktar:
Well I did both, clean wipe and converted the tablet to a single user device. This has resolved all of the slowness and the tablet has been working well for almost a week now. I'm afraid to add a second user to the tablet and possibly make it slow again. But I would really like to be able to use it (it's my wife's) with my accounts. The internal memory is still slow, but this is usually only evident when installing apps or using horribly optimized apps like the Amazon AppStore.

I have installed the 4.7 on my TF700T. Since today I received the tablet I don't know about the true performance of the stock ROM but I installed this cause I read nothing but good reviews.

In the aroma installer I read something about an app that gives the chance to kill apps. But I can't find it in the options nor in the app list. Can anyone tell me how that works? Cause Im interested on that.

Can't know if there's any chance to change the input language and still keep the shortcuts active. Cause I tried the input language in Spanish for the keyboard dock and when I tried to used the @ the Shift + 2 didn't worked. Nor the classical Ctrl + Alt + Q / 2 to get the @.

I had tested the Spanish configuration with KM but I cant find the (at) symbol. Normally is SHIFT + 2 but in the Spanish configuration that doesnt work.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't think you are doing it right. Make sure your Asus keyboard is setup as Spanish then set that as the default in km for the dock.

I thought long hold back key does kill the app you are on. Other way of doing it is recent apps button and then swipe them up kills them.
