Get thee to a terminal emulator... :) I use "Android Terminal Emulator" and go exploring. You could do the same thing from a PC using adb.

Some usefull command are:

"mount" - lists all mounted file systems

"cd name_of directory" - change to directory

"ls -l name_of directory" - expanded listing of a directory

You can easily see that most are just symbolic links.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

Symlinks are symbolic links. Basically just a pointer or reference to another place. While somewhat messy and confusing they take up basically no space and can just be ignored. Also allows apps that expect your files to be in particular places to find the files where they expect them.

Of course, the upgrade to 4.2, which introduced multiuser, is what created all these files and links and it seems to be somewhat hit and miss as to what you end up with.

What should have happened is that all of your files got moved and a bunch of links created. If you create more users, they will all get their own file space so that they don't mess up your files, and you don't mess up their. Allows everyone to have their own settings.

I have seen the upgrade work perfectly, not move the files and just delete them, or end up with two complete copies. As long as you have your files, and do not suddenly have twice the space used on your memory, I would just leave it alone.

Anyone find a way to get data2sd working and showing the tablet's internal memory?

I installed the experimental kernel and it works great but can't see the internal memory.

Kudos to sdbags again, this rom is awesome. 4.3 is even more fluid than the old clean rom. Really does feel like I upgraded to a new tablet.

Is there a way to get CROMi to show the battery % of the dock battery. Mine only shows the tablet itself. The small icons for each show but the % remaining on the dock battery doesn't show anywhere.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
No you don't even have to exit.

Download terminal app from play. One mentioned in above post would be great.

run

At prompt type.

su

Type or paste this command at prompt.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

This tuns fsync off. I you want to turn it on replace 0 with 1

Before exiting type exit. This leaves su mode

Close terminal

Reboot not needed.

Great work again sbdags!

Everything's going well so far: HDMI out works, tethering works - just cannot find a flaw here! The 4.2 gui causes noticeable lag for me which doesn't matter since I don't care for it anyway. Thank you so much for giving us a choice!! Just this little detail might have been a deal breaker for me! Granted, we're spoiled coming from CROMI...

Other than for some funky internal stuff and the dalvik machine it is very similar to linux, which is just another flavour of Unix (simplifying with a broad brush). Android smartphones really are small portable computers, with a touch screen interface, that just happen to have the ability to make phone calls... :)

Once you have busybox installed (and almost all custom ROMs have it included), almost all of the standard Unix commands are available. Especially on a tablet with a larger display, you can sort many issues out in a terminal emulator, which gives you the command line access to all your files.

So, with a odexed rom it is only the /system/apps that get odexed? The reason I ask is the dev of the odexme app said if you wanted to check if the app worked to look in /system/app and if you see a bunch of files ending in "odexed" then it worked. Does it change anything other than apps? Is that the only thing odexed rom does?

You mentioned something about /data/emmc in a thread I read last night. On my One X I usually format /system, /data and /cache for a full wipe. Can I do it with 6.0.3.0/1 on this device?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Splaktar:
I'm still getting the same problems as I had with other versions of CROMI-X. Every time I flash a new ROM (except right after a full internal sdcard and memory wipe), it gets corrupted and TWRP says that I have lost su and need to install it and fix permissions. Of course that doesn't work. With the beta versions, the tablet would boot and indeed be without su or root. Now with the Final version, it won't even boot, it just goes straight to recovery after a single boot loop.

I am unable to download any files on my TF700 (Cromi-X 4.3b6) over wifi if they are more than 100 MB. It always fails, even after 20-50+ attempts. So I have to download with my Windows 7 PC. I verified the md5 checksum on Windows and it was right.

I've also verified that the md5sum is correct on the file on my TF700. I had been having a lot of issues with USB transfers ever since starting to use Cromi-X. But I'm not sure if that is the problem or not. I thought I had solved this last time when I did a full wipe of the entire tablet. But that does not appear to be the case. I certainly cannot handle a full wipe of internal memory/sdcard every flash. I don't know why I appear to be the only one having this problem either. ugh! I've verified my bootloader version and TWRP (2.5.0.0).

I'm not selecting any crazy options, fsync enabled, _that kernel, US version for TF700, 240 DPI, Google desk clock and all Google apps, most of the Asus apps but not weather, desk clock, parental lock, app backup.

I just double verified the md5sum on TF700_421_US_BootRec_Flasher_Signed.zip and re-flashed it. I'll give it another shot tomorrow and hopefully that will do the trick...

[Asus Transformer TF700] pr4wn3r:
hi there!

first of all, thanx to the devs for creating this awsome ROM and thanx for all the testers too =)

i just got a little problem, and would like some help!

so, i flashed Cromi-X yesterday, and now i have a problem with the storage... i only used to have /storage/sdcard0 and sdcard 1, now i also have "emulated" there.

pretty much doubles all my stuff, so for example my pdf`s are shown 3-tiomes on adobe reader (once on the /storage/emulated/0, once on /storage/sdcard0 and once on /storage/emulated/legacy)

also, when i try to get into /storage/sdcard0 folder with "dateimanager" (something like ES explorer) it automatically puts me in the /storage/emulated/legacy folder...

so i thought i could just maybe delete the /storage/emulated folder. but i wanted to do a backup first, so i did. only problem is, that i cant find that backup anymore ( in recovery i see the new backup, but i cant see the old one, and on the explorer is the other way round!)

i hope someone understands my problem and maybe even has a fix for that, or an idea what i could do!

oh and i'm on the v2 kernell, cromi-x WW deodex,

Hey there..

I got one question for you, have you read the last few pages of this thread? Coz it seems you haven't. It has been mentioned countless times before.

The new 4.2.1 based ROM has multiple users support. So all your files have not been triplicated those are just symlinks so it's normal. Just 3 shortcuts of sorts showing same content. If you delete one file from one location it will disappear from the rest as well...

Hope that helps...

[Asus Transformer TF700] pr4wn3r:
well, yeah, i read that, still doesnt explain why i cant find the backup i did today, + why the recovery doesnt find the old backups

EDIT: tried deleting the "emulated" folder, it deleted everything from the "sdcard0" folder aswell, so it deleted everything

EDIT2: want to flash an old backup now, but when i put it in TWRP folder, the i cant find it in the recovery mode, only in the normal file explorer..
[Asus Transformer TF700] TechXero:
Told ya if you delete one file it will disappear from the rest as well.

As to why you can't get TWRP to see old backup is probably because it got corrupted somehow...

That's what Symlinks are.

[Asus Transformer TF700] bjtheone:
Symlinks or symbolic links are not copies they are links or references. Is really important to understand this or you will delete the only actual copy of your files. Also, understand it is not the files that have symlinks, it is the directories. To be exact, you can have links to files, but in this particular case the links are too directories.

You have something like:

/directory_bob <- this is real and has files in it

/symbolic_link_fred to directory_bob <- this looks like it has all the same files in it

Using a file manager, if you browse to /symbolic_link_fred you are actually going to the physical directory_bob, so you will see all the files in directory_bob.

To delete the link you need to delete the "symbolic_link" one, not the files that appear to be in it. However, depending on how your particular file manager works, it might delete the referenced directory rather than just deleting the link. I would test how your particular file manager behaves on a test link, before starting deleting stuff. If you don't understand how to do this, I would suggest not doing it.

NOTE: the following is how my TF700 ended up. I suspect that yours should be the same but there might is some differences.

you can see this much better if you install a terminal emulator, and type in the commands:

ls -l /storage

ls -l /mnt

ls -l /

You will see that:

/sdcard is a link to /storage/emulated/legacy

/storage/sdcard0 is a link to /storage/emulated/legacy

/mnt/sdcard is a link to /stroage/emulated/legacy

If you look at /storage/emulated you will find the "user directories",

0 <- the root or main user

10 <- first secondary user, etc

If you do something to a file in /sdcard or /storage/sdcard0 or /mnt/sdcard you are actually doing something to a file in /storage/emulated/legacy. There is only one copy of the file.

Bottom line, if everything worked correctly on have only one copy of your actual files, and a bunch of links. In some cases the upgrade process breaks and you end up with a messed up fle system with some combination of missing files, duplicate files, or total chaos and a scambled file system. Unless you are missing your files, or all of a sudden have doubled the reported used space, all is good and you can just ignore it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] bjtheone:
If you look with a root file explorer (like Root Browser) or from a terminal emulator, using the commands

su

ls -l /data

I bet you will see files and directories. You certainly can format /data, however, it will wipe out all your files.. :)

The command

su

ls -ld /data

will likely show:

drwxrwx--x system system Some_date/timestamp data

The "d" means it is a directory

The first set "rwx" shows the owner (system) priviledges, read/write/execute

The second set "rwx" shows the group (system) priviledges, read/write/execute

The thrid set "--x" shows the priviledges for everyone else, execute only

This means that you, a regular user only have the right to execute files contained in /data. Without r (read) access you cannot list files and directories contained in /data.

But thing is, if you use Custom DPI, and update Play Store, you will have same exact issue. So don't blame inverted alone.

To have zero headaches you need to be on stock DPI and have stock non dpi patched Store.

Correct me if am wrong.

All you need to do is launch the adaway app and select "disable ad blocking". That should restore the default host file on your machine.

I believe there is also an option for a tweaked host file in the installer. Doing a clean install, without the adaway or other ad blocking options checked should get you a stock hosts files.

You could also edit the actual file in /etc/hosts and just get rid of the line that is blocking the site you want to go to. Make sure that adaway is not running if you do this, as it will just overwrite your changes.

NOTE: you may have to reboot after making changes to the hosts files, before running apps see the changes.

Nandroid restore everything, but I have noticed that sometimes game progression can be lost if you dont back up cache as well because some game data is stored in cache. Also some game data can get lost. It is strange but it has happened to me. Just if you want, back up everything on SDcard, take the card out of the tablet, boot into TWRP and wipe everything, shut down the tablet, reinsert the card, and restore like that, that way you can wipe everything without worrying about you data being deleted, since the card is not in the tablet to be deleted.
