At 5.2.2 thread the first line in op is:

THIS ROM IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ASUS PAD TF300T & TF300TG, PRIME TF201 AND THE ME301T PAD SMART 10

can't see my tf700

anyway, i only want a faster tablet.

So, you're saying that ROM2SD is a better solution?

LE:

ok, i did some research on ROM2SD (first heard about it today) and 2 ROM's on the same tablet are too much for me :))

I have some (not much) experience with flashing ROM's and data2sd is already a big challenge for me, i'll stick with it, which brings me back to my question: flashing a clean ROM, but with data2sd this time is ok?

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I think you were looking at the TF300 thread - Try this one ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

Personally I prefer ROM2SD as you can have 2 roms installed - one on internal and one on the SD. Great for messing and great to keep a stable version ;)

Data2sd doesn't really offer any benefit for me but it's up to you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dobranszky:
yeap, wrong thread :)

let's say i'll go with ROM2SD, but i don't need/want the second ROM; can i use my internal sd for storage for example?

sorry for noob questions
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Technically yes you can use the internal as storage - so you can put pictures, movies, etc there. The main issue is some apps won't see them but you can always move them to ext when needed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Hmm - were you asking if you could run the rom JUST on the SD card and none on your internal?

If that was the question, the answer is no. You do need to have CROMi-X installed on internal to run another rom as ROM2SD. I presume you were thinking of "waste of space" on internal? That's negliable. The ROM gets installed to the system partition and that's not usable for storage anyway.

I am not running ROM2SD (at least now...) because I discovered that maintaining TWO roms wreaks havoc with my social life - or what's left of it...:eek:

I can hardly keep up with the pace the gentleman up there ^^^^ is cranking out new versions!

Can't wait for the TF701 to get a working recovery - that'll distract him for a while (I hope!) :sly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] dobranszky:
yeap, that was the question and thanks for the answer.

I was't thinking necessarily to gain more space, or may i say, i don't even know what was i thinking :), but i don't see (yet) the advantages of having two ROM's. Maybe someone could highlight a few for me.

So, in another train of thoughts, i have to follow the next steps to end up with 2 rom's?

1. format the microsd with 3 partitions (1st fat and 2nd and 3rd ext4)

2. boot into twrp. forgot to mention that i'm on 10.6.1.14.10 WW Bootloader and TWRP 2.6.1.0, with CROMi-Xenogenesis 5.1 DEODEX

3. flash rom2sd-data2sd-intmedia-shell-that1.zip (have to reboot here or not?)

4. flash rom2sd1.zip (same here....reboot or not?)

5. flash CROMi-Xenogenesis 5.2.2 DEODEX and NOT reboot

6 .flash rom2sd2.zip

7. reboot and done?

cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No you don't need to do any of that. Just flash the ROM , choose one of that or hunds kernels AND rom2sd option and installer will do the rest for you. ;) well you still need to do step 1.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dobranszky:
thanks a lot

Man! You keep confusing me! LOL

To get ROM2SD working don't you have to:

1. Flash CROMi-X with ROM2SD compatabilty to internal

2. Boot back to TWRP, insert the correctly formatted SD card

3, Flash CROMi-X as ROM2SD (which will install to external)

?????????????????
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I do this.

Flash CROMi-X normal, no rom2sd options

Flash CROMi-X rom2sd

Robert is now your mother's brother. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I don't know no Robert... But that reminds me: Gotta call my mom anyway. I'll ask ;)

So what's the last option (rom2sd compability or some such) in the installer for?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
"Robert is your mother's brother", this may be the same:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob's_your_uncle! I like you am not British so I do not know for sure but sounds appropriate.:cyclops:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Amazing the things you learn in this thread.... :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes we use Bob's your Uncle a lot in the UK to mean it's all good. Lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
:D

Rom2sd compatibility. Say you already have a good working CROMi-X on SD but want to flash a newer version to internal and you want to have the ability to slip back to the older version by booting with the card in ;)

See the kernel looks for a preinit script on internal to boot a rom off the SD.

I use it a lot for testing. Should I keep it as a separate flash as it is confusing people?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lchiu7:
which ROM to install?

I didn't want to ask the question since I am sure the answer in this thread somewhere but there is a lot of confusing and often conflicting information in the thread. So please indulge me...

I just unlocked my TF700 and managed to install TWRP 2.6. I also used SuperSU to root the device. So far so good.

(As an aside the device so far has been pretty disappointing to me compared with the Motorola Xoom I have since it's hardly much faster and only has better graphics. Plus it's really laggy for a Tegra 3 quad core).

Anyway the advice is that this can be fixed with a custom ROM which has led me to this thread.

My bootloader is 10.6.1.14.10 and as I said I am running TWRP 2.6. (I think - the latest I could find).

I have taken a Titanium Backup and a Nandroid backup of the stock ROM though I don't think it was necessary as there is no data on the device I could not bear to lose.

So could I just download the latest ROM as noted in the beginning of this thread (ODEX or DEODEX), copy it to the internal memory card and flash it with TWRP? Is there anything else I need to do?

For example in the thread I see links to replacing the stock camera with the Google camera with Panorama mode. But I would have thought that if this ROM is JB sourced from AOSP, then the Google camera would be in it?

For the 4.2 ROM I flashed my Xoom with (taking it from 4.01) I got the Google camera, Google Now and all the latest JB features.

Any hints or pointers gratefully accepted.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes you are ready to flash a custom rom but flash 5.2.2 not 4.7 (you are in an old thread) :) Asus don't use the google camera app and the google camera app is buggy on asus hardware ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lchiu7:
Thanks. Did that successfully. Will continue the conversation in the 5.2.2 thread.

[MENTION=4804747]sgkla[/MENTION], Apologies for not replying earlier - I didn't get the notification email from XDA and I didn't see your post.

My primary use for the TF700 is as an ultra portable laptop and my main office applications are Evernote and Officesuite Pro utilising Dropbox for storage. I do find that Officesuite pro has the functionality I need when editing MS Office documents. My office does provide me a laptop for primary use but it's big and heavy so I just really use it at my desk and for working from home. The TF700 is used whenever I'm not at my desk.

blank screen

Hello Everyone,

I have a problem here, hopping maybe somebody here has an idea what it could be...

after applying changes through cromi control, i restarted my TF700. After restarting, The Tablet Doesnt enter the OS. I get the blue fire rings like every startup, and than the screnn goes blank, and nothing happens.

This is the second time i have this problem. Can't recall anything specific from the first time that could have caused the problem. Tried installing from scratch the rom, but that didn't help either,

Any ideas?

Thanks for taking the time to help me...:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You'll need to wipe data in TWRP to fix it. Something got corrupted. Without a logcat it is hard to know what. BTW you are in the wrong thread as well ;)

Can you do me a favour first please. Connect your PC to your tab via the usb cable and grab a logcat whilst it is stuck booting:

Once the device is plugged in to computer, power on device and wait for it to start looping at the splash screen image.

Give it another say 2 minutes minimum for ADB to kick in (it takes some time on the device when a boot loop occurs for logcat to start logging)

After about two minutes,

type adb devices

to ensure the device is listed.

Then type

adb logcat -v time > Bootloop.txt

wait about a good 3 - 5 minutes to allow EVERYTHING to be logged,

then press CTRL+C on the keyboard to stop the capturing process. then post the Bootloop.txt (it is in the directory where you launched the terminal window)
[Asus Transformer TF700] henengel:
Yeah I konw, Just now i saw i'm in the wrong place...:o but thanks any way for taking the time and effort to help me...:svetius:

1."type adb devices"..Where should i type it?

2.Just to be clear (i'm learning this for the first time with you), doesn't looping mean it restarts all the time?

that's not the situation here. i get the pre OS rom icon and than everything goes blank and stays that way...

3. to grab a logcat, don't i need to have the logcat app installed on my tablet? not sure it is...

again thank a lot!!:good:

By the way, never understood whats the diffrence between this rom and the CROMi-X 5.2.4 rom...why are there 2 diffrent roms with more or lese the same name...would love to know ;):svetius:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK you need to open a command prompt - use the other thread 5.2.4 as I responded there. Hold down shift and go to the folder where you keep adb on your PC and right click and choose open command prompt here then follow the instructions.

CROMi-X 4.7 was based off a previous Asus release - 10.6.1.15.3 where as 5.2.4 is based off 10.6.1.27.5
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
They are the same rom but sbdags keeps developing it. He decided to open a new thread when he made major changes to the CROMi-X 4.x rom. The thread title gives you a hint: 5.x implemented data2sd/rom2sd as an option.

To have adb and fastboot available on your computer to connect to your tablet can be a life saver. It really is worth your time to install the drivers and learn how to pull logs or run a logcat. There are many tutorials on adb and fastboot here on XDA. One of the best is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141817

Following this thread you install the sdk platform tools on your computer.

You can do that, or use the Minimal ADB Fastboot Tool from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

The latter may be a little easier....

Hello sbdags, long time since I posted here or done anything to my 700 because of time or other reason. Long story short, thanks keeping this rom still available for download. It's been over a year since I flashed a rom to 700. Anyway it started running really slow to do anything. For some stupid reason when I did a fresh of windows on my PC I deleted your rom and my theme and my backup system. Because of this thread still being here and my theme still available on androidfilehost I was able to be up and running in less an hour.

Question: should I consider flashing the 4.4.4 rom you have available?

Thanks again for your hard work you've been doing for a very long time!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Hi Timber - sb has been very busy with family issues lately (his wife is fighting cancer), so thought I would chime in since he's busy at her side and we're all trying to cover for him while he's doing what's important! :D I went back to running this rom for a bit after always running into lag problems a little while after using the KK roms. This was pretty good, but FWIW, I found the 5.4 cromi less laggy and more 'up to date'. I'm just not sure that my tablet works great at KK vs JB. I could be wrong, but that's my experience so far as every device differs. If you've been on kk though, you'll need to format data etc when downgrading afaik.. and restoring via TiBu won't work either.. very fresh install needed!
[Asus Transformer TF700] timberwolf671:
Thanks for help and post. I did some more searching and did fine the website with instructions for the 700.... Funny part is after reading those instructions I booted into recovery and the was already installed. So all is good with the world again.

Sorry to hear about his wife... This same reason why you dont fine me here since I too have cancer and feel so sorry for her and him. Knowing what they both are going thru.

Thanks for the heads up on the KK rom. After a fresh install of the JB rom the tablet is back to working great.

If you would please, if you see a post from him. Tell him my prayers will be for him and his wife.

And God bless all who come here.

HDMI Out do not work with CROMi

Hi,

I used the stock rom for several month and migrated to CROMi several days ago.

Unfortunately the HDMI out option do not work - with stock rom everything worked fine. I just had to put in the cable, and I got a mirror on my TV screen.

With cromi nothing happens. No new icon an the tablet, no signal on the TV.

Is there any hidden menu or option I have to activate? HDMI out is a very important feature for me :(

Can anyone help me?

cheers

ThePhantom
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Any particular reason you chose this 18 months old rom?

I cannot remember what issues we had with this rom, but I don't think HDMI out was one of them...

Makes me wonder how you flashed...

Did you do a full wipe of cache, Dalvik and data before flashing this rom?

I would recommend you at least move up to the latest version CROMi-X 5.4

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

Make sure you have the required bootloader. If not, a flashable bootloader package is right in the OP of that thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timberwolf671:
For I came back to this rom because 1. It's what I've run those 18 months. 2. Plus I have a theme for it already posted in the Themes and Apps section.

This rom has been good to me. From your own standpoint, what benefits would I gain in moving to this other rom. Thanks

greetings everyone so i just got gifted this tablet, it was previously on a lp rom and i wanted to go to this since i see it is the stablest thing out... i don't believe i flashed it on the correct bootloader, becuz after boot it keeps going into twrp again, which is 2.7.1.1 i have the correct bootloader now, but im unable to get my pc to recognize the tablet in twrp, also i don't have any micro sd cards so i can't load it that way... is there a driver i can download to get it to read it in twrp? i ve searched but been unable to find it... i'm thinking if i can get the file moved over wipe everything install bootloader and rom i should be fine... and to be clear i can only access twrp.. any help would be greatly appreciated
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sorry this rom is very old. (2 years) You should flash CROMi-X 5.4 for the latest version of this rom. Still old but should work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You used Wipe Data from the bootloader, didn't you?

That's what got you into this forced reboot to recovery loop. I would not attempt to flash a bootloader in this situation if I were you.... You should resolve the loop first. Read this: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...my-transformer-tf700-boots-only-recovery.html
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Interesting speculation in that thread. :) I didn't read all of it, but I wrote bootit.ko for the case where the installed recovery isn't compatible with the bootloader - I think that was with a recovery on a 4.1 kernel and a 4.2 bootloader (related to enabling something called Trusted Foundation). In this situation you can't access the eMMC at all. So being able to run shell commands in the recovery doesn't help because you simply can't write anything to the misc partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
This one is for testing the new UI layouts and such. And then seeing what you like and dislike, with both roms, so a midway rom can be made,aka Cromi, to have best performance and to satisfy as many user as possible. Yes I would flash the ASUS stock ROOTED version, it runs really nice in my opinion. Its the best rom yet for ASUs to release.

Let me know - new kernel from flumpster should give slightly better performance as it has nicked some TF700 optimisations.

Xenogenesis means to morph and alternate life cycles :) As you may have worked out that means this will gradually morph into a full TF700 source which will bring performance improvements along with it.

Good morning all,

I have tried to install this ROM a couple of times now without any luck, bellow are the steps I have taken to try and get this running (please note I have CROMi 3.4.7 running perfectly).

1. Flash the US Bootloader/TWRP 2.5.0.0 from the first post

a. Let it reboot into 3.4.7

2. Reboot into recovery, make a NANDROID and do a factory reset x2

3. Run the installer, I have downloaded the bootloader and ROM a few times and used the ZIP check

4. Wipe Dalvik and Cache

5. Reboot, it comes up to the ASUS boot screen, the blue bar goes and then reboots

a. It comes to the bootloader screen and just sits, I have left it for 45 minutes or so with nothing

If I reboot the device and get to the fastboot menu I see that it is using bootloader 1.00 e released by us_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329 A03

I am not 100% sure what I am doing wrong, I have been using the US version of 3.4.7 and the 4.1.1 bootloader.

If I restore the NANDROID it boots 3.4.7 without issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks to sdbags and _that for all of their great work!

Edit: So just for grins I took my tablet off of my dock and it booted...
