CROMi-X 5.0b1 Public Beta

Right folks. This is about 2 weeks of work to get together. It is a completely new version of CROMi-X rebased and rebuilt from the latest Transformer Source from Asus - 10.6.1.27.1. I have then injected the files back into it that are needed for the various models.

The current bootloader is compatible so you don't need to upgrade but you should be on at least 10.6.1.14.4 and TWRP 2.5.0.0. I recommend you flash the file in the first post if you are unsure.

Please read the changelog below and understand that this is a beta. As such it may have issues. If you find one please report it in the thread - as well as any specific around what you flashed and how the bug manifests itself. The point of a public beta is to iron out issues that I can't find on my own before I release to properly.

If you are not happy beta testing please don't flash this yet :)

Known Bugs:

1. The setting to switch between the 4.1 and 4.2 launcher no longer works on the infinity - thanks Asus - they disabled it for the TF700. The work around is to use Apex or Nova Launcher to create a shortcut to the setting until I can figure it out.

2. Asus Reader no longer sees files on the SDCard. I have no idea why but I am unable to fix it currently.

3. Themes are not yet compatible so don't try them.

I recommend a full wipe but it will work with a dalvik and cache wipe - however if you find a bug please test it on a full wipe first.

As always back up your data and take a nandroid just in case and don't restore system data from a previous version! :good:

Installed without format data.

Everything installed normally with no problems.

Stock browser screams!!!!!

Never seen it so fast with little or no delay at 90% like in the past.

Thumbs up so far and thank you sbdags

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thanks for the first report. :victory: Spent the whole day today ironing out the frustrating little bugs and quite happy with this now as a base. A few things to do and I'm hoping some of the dock battery bugs are gone too. Still testing that though. Also a nice little surprise from elsebb coming our way ;)

Oh and many thanks to Sean H for the donation today! :good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] slybarman:
I won't be loading a beta cause its my wife's tablet, but thanks for the work and I'm looking forward to the stable release.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tigerfaninnc:
Hi Woody, did you do a full wipe, or just caches? Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] schmeggy929:
So far new base is running smooth. First tried it with hunds kernel but was having a random reboot and 3 freezes. I gave up after the third, trying out apex launcher as well. All is good so far, thanks for all the hard work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
Just upgraded from Cromi 3.4.6 with only dalvik and cache wipe - running great on stock kernel and adw. Thanks so much!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Woody, when you say 90% what are you referring to, battery?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tigerfaninnc:
So far so good! Dalvik & Cache wipe only. Stock modded kernel! Awesome work once again, now, about that surprise, tell us more please!
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
I'm quite pleased with this base. It stuttered quite a bit but settled down nicely. The stock browser really flies now where previously it didn't. HDMI still shuts off output when the screen turns off but that's an Asus issue more than anything. YouTube buffers well on HD on the few that I tried. I haven't played with a lot yet but my dock drain seems to have disappeared and that's a beautiful thing. Running _that's. Full wipe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tigerfaninnc:
One thing I did notice on 4.7 a couple of days ago, that is still present with 5.0, is in Gmail. I have 2 messages stuck in my outbox. Sent again from MSN, and Gmails from other devices send fine. May well be a different problem, but if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Captpt:
Worked perfectly.. Thank you..
[Asus Transformer TF700] nomad10002:
Again sbdags fantastic work. Ive been running it for an hour and Ive had zero issues. I have thrown everything at it and no issus. Thx again P.S. alittle something is coming your way. Enjoy.

For some reason camera app did not install on either 700 or 300 without doing a format data on tablets. I don't know if other apps had a problem or not, i just noticed no camera or gallery. Other camera apps i had installed worked.

When i was in system/apps and clicked on gallery it seemed to indicate it was installed. It just didn't show any where.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] nomad10002:
woodsonmh, my camera works fine and also gallery is working fine too. 5.0 is so fast. I wiped dalvik and cache. Try reflashing again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
This happened to me a few months ago. I think clearly Gmail cache/data, and then logging back in fixed the problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tigerfaninnc:
Camera and Gallery working fine. I too only wiped dalvik and cache.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

How did you do that lol? Can't see how to log out on tab. Delete and add again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
The simplest way is to click and hold onto the Gmail icon, then you should see two option pop up on top of the screen, Remove and Info. Drag Gmail icon to Info and drop it. You'll enter a new screen, and you'll be able to clear data and cache from the new screen. Not sure if you need to clear both data and cache, but doing one or both will hopefully fix your problem. After clearing data/cache, you'll have to reenter your user id/password when you start gmail.

I think the Gmail not sending problem may come from installing a new ROM without wiping.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I had another version of gallery installed, that may have caused my problems. Much better camera functions.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] tigerfaninnc:
Okay, had to go in from app drawer, clear data, force close and it worked perfectly! I did not have to log in again, just wait a second for sync once I opened it. Now if I could only get rid of the ghost text on my Razr I would have a full day, lol! Thanks for the help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
Are the HDMI settings back by any chance?

If i remember correctly something changed before and when using HDMI to display on a tv there were some settings, but since the new versions those settings are no longer available.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
The hdmi settings are back in a sense when you're plugged in but the only thing I could see available in that menu was an option to stream 3d content to a 3d screen. There weren't any hidden options in the shortcuts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Wow! That is a serious donation. Many thanks to you - I really apprecate it. I'll add your name to the first post as a token of my appreciation.

Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MisterEz:
Can I get away without doing a data wipe before installing the latest beta?

I know some have just done a cache & dalvik wipe, but as I haven't done a clean install for a while I thought now would be a good time. In the Twrp advance wipe screen I can wipe dalvik, system, cache & data... if I wipe all but data, will that give a clean base for the new install?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
In TWRP go to wipe and don't do anything and swipe at the bottom. This will do a factory data only wipe but leave your data/media folder alone (pictures, music, videos, books, etc)

You will lose everything else as well.

You can upgrade with a dalvik and cache wipe but if you have any bugs I recommend the factory wipe above.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MisterEz:
Thanks mate - other than forgetting to backup my browser favourites, reflash went smoothly.

Initially thought rom was a bit laggy, but seems to be speeding up now. Stock browser is very smooth!

Thanks for your work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] -BoneZ-:
Seeings how "search" is down at the moment, I'll have to waste a post and ask:

Where is "Developer Options" in the settings on this ROM? I know I'm blind, but I'm not seeing it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Click Build Number 7 times to become a developer ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] -BoneZ-:
Ah, there it is. I'm coming from the original CleanROM. So is that a new Google thing, or is that yours? :laugh:

Either way, thanks for the amazingly-quick response. :good:

testreport Chromi-x 5

Hi Sbdags.

I have tried to install the latest build and can report back that i only could get _Thats kernel to boot.

I tried to run Hundsbuahs kernel it installed but kept bootlooping during first bootup.

Tried the Data2sd version, couldn't for my life to get it install.

I notised that the bravia options are gone during install.

On _Thats kernel everything is smooth and i haven't noticed any bug other than if i clean memory apex crashes and the tab reboots.

Best regards

Mackis

P.S

As soon as i get paid i will for sure make a donation.

Keep the good work going, you are all awesome!

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

After checking my account i had a small amount to donate.

Thanks for a rock solid ROM!!

Verificationnr: 5JK84396BX7796428

:cowboy::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Many many thanks mate for the donation!! :good: Bravia was removed deliberately. I was not convinced it actually did anything. When you say clean memory - what do you mean? Apex is locked into memory as the launcher so you need to exclude it. If you try to clean it it will be forced to close itself.

As for Hunds - I'll be uploading beta2 in a bit. Maybe your Infinity is not compatible with his new tweaks? Try asking in his thread. It works here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Right for beta 2 the top 2 are fixed :D

Known Bugs:

1. The setting to switch between the 4.1 and 4.2 launcher no longer works on the infinity - thanks Asus - they disabled it for the TF700. The work around is to use Apex or Nova Launcher to create a shortcut to the setting until I can figure it out.

2. Asus Reader no longer sees files on the SDCard. I have no idea why but I am unable to fix it currently.

3. Themes are not yet compatible so don't try them.

Change log:

18/08/2013 - v5.0b2 CROMi-X

o	Updated Settings.apk to bring back Launcher Switching for TF700. Modded by elesbb

o	Updated DSP Manager to later version. Modded by flumpster

o	Fixed MyLibrary (Asus Reader). It was missing Adobe Fonts. Note it uses a lot of CPU cycles if left open in the background

o	Removed 180DPI option for non TF700 users as causes FC

o	Removed WiFI Direct for the non TF700 transformers (It's not going to work)

o	Modded Hunds TF300 kernel to include TF300TG and TL plus ME301T specific libraries

Any appetite for this tonight or do you want me to wait until more bugs fixed as it will be a full upload as i want to test the full install process as well? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
Hi and thanks for quick reply.

I don't know if Bravia is doing anything, i was going to try it out but didn't find it. No loss for me... :)

When i say clean memory i mean cleaning the memory of open apps with the built in widget. How can i exclude apex from shutting down?

I will check Hundsbuas thread for the overclocked kernel to see if its compatibility issues that is the problem.

Best regards

Mackis

I've been running 5.0 b1 for two hours and I'm already behind the curve???? Jeez - have mercy man! LOL

Running great so far with _that's kernel. The (not so) Smart Dimmer you said was disabled by default, is that the same as the Smart Backlight Adjuster in Asus Customized Settings? Because it was still enabled here...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

Yeah 5.0 b2 r.unning smooth. Finally able to get hunds working. So far no reboots or freezes, the hunds app itself unfortunately stopped twice. But still running. Time to test it with real racing 3, lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tigerfaninnc:
Day 2 on 5.0b1, still running smoove as buttah!
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
5 b1 is running great. Super fast boot up. Tried to get things to FC while downloading a lot of apps on the play store but couldn't lol. It sometimes didn't respond right away when trying to execute other apps during but eventually it went. Without anything downloading everything is pretty smooth and responsive. DLing b2 as I type this.

Also using apex launcher and setting animation to slide left helps smooth out the animation when opening apps.

:thumbup:
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
The draining dock bug to me was the one remaining important thing on the earlier version. So, inspired by your comment today I installed the beta2. Can't wait to see how if that now works on my device as well!

On a lighter note I noticed a stronger WLAN signal after the update. Maybe it was by chance, but I tried to download some maps before doing the update to have everything included in the backup I sure did before updating. These downloads were very slow and also got cancelled when the signal was lost. Now after the update, without physically moving anything, the signal seems to be stronger and more reliable. Again, maybe this was just coincidence, but I am curious to hear your experiences with it.

And not to forget ... thank you so much sdbags for another great update!
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
B2 running great. No issues to report at this time.

Dock drain still happening. Completely drained dock overnight. I shut off tablet, connected dock, and rebooted (the preferred previous methodology?) :(

Do I need to flash with the dock attached to update dock firmware or anything?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RobN17:
+1 as well. The tablet as also dramatically faster than it has ever been. Great job sdbags!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Right, we need to be a bit careful here. In the ROM I have included some old mods for hiding notifications. One of these holds the dock icon. If you are using that mod then I'm not surprised you still have dock drain. Also hunds kernel may also impact performance.

Please confirm which you selected.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thomas_pieps:
5.0 b2 here with hunds data2sd kernel here, butter smooth performance. Will have to report back on the battery drain. Great work by the way!
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Would it be possible to include the digital battery mod in the themer? I can send you a dropbox link for the png's, organized for easy import into the themer zip. PM me for the link.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
I'm using _that's kernel and am not using the Hide Notification mod :crying:

I do have the Asus double battery widget on my homescreen.

Will try a full wipe this evening.

edit: also on Beta2
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Still on B1 with _that kernel, installed with "No Notifications" selected. Yesterday night battery was at 95/82, this morning it was 95/80. And that is with WiFi disconnect during sleep set to "Never".

Battery drain with dock.

tf700, 240dpi, _that (latest included), no fsync disabled, no data2sd, no b2r, and no dock-icon/usb-media mods

Suggest trying to update dock firmware to latest (if ASUS fixed it); no idea where to find that firmware or how to flash it.

Everything else butter smooth and very stable. Keep it up.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
I have been a user of CROMI way back since the first release. So I am very familiar with the ROM and all the workings of it. I know this is not

an issue of the ROM but I was just wondering if anyone else is having these issues or maybe why I am.

About 3 weeks ago I did a complete wipe of my system. I mean everything. TWRP format everything. I had my ROM on a separate SD card of course.

Anyway I started with a clean slate. I did the normal install:

1) Re-flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0

2) Was now on 10.6.1.14.8 US Bootloader

3) Did a normal full Wipe system again via TWRP

4) Flashed CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.7.0 DEODEX

5) Reboot

6) waited 15 minutes

7) Reboot again and continue with setup.

During Armona I chose:

DPI: 240

GUI: 4.2

Kernel: _that 10.6.1.14.8 Modded Stock Kernel v4 Row Scheduler, UV, CIFS, ISO9660 and Fsync Control. By _that

Launcher: Stock and Nova ( I own Nova Prime )

Browser2Ram: YES

FsyncDissabled: YES

Boot Animation: Nexus 7

Google Apps: Multi DPI Play Store,Gmail,Maps,Talk,YouTube,Google Music, Street View for Maps, Document Viewer, Gallery, Picasa

Asus Apps: File Manager,My Cloud,SuperNote,My Dictionary,My Library

Misc Apps: ESFile Explorer, Adobe Flash, AdAway, Titanium Backup, DropBox, DSP Manager, Beats DSP Manager, Rebooter, Keyboard Manager

I did not install any system apps via Titanium but I did restore a few user apps & data.

I currently have apx 100 apps installed. I run my system in "Balanced" Mode.

Everything works of course. But I am noticing a much slower response time in most applications (

mainly startup time

) and most games. Also, and this is my biggest

concern my screen touch sensitivity seems low. I have to sometimes tap the screen (button) more than once for the

system to acknowledge the tap. I am using a very good screen protector "Invisible Shield" by Zagg. and this happens with or without a stylus.

Questions are:

1) Why does the system seem slower than normal. I never had slow down or slow response time issues ever on any of sbDags ROMS.

2) Why would my touch screen seem not as responsive as normal ? is there some way to recalibrate it maybe ?

Should I try another kernel ?? I have always liked _that's kernels, but am willing to try another.

Any thoughts ??

Thanks all !!
