Thanks for the extremely quick update!! :thumbup::D:thumbup:

This has made my tablet to what i thought i had bought back in November. Example: on 4.1 trying to play canvasrider was impossible due to the lag, now it just as playing on a full desktop! Thanks for everything you do, I will have a donation sent as soon as i have money. :cool: :beer: cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Ok, I found Ondroid and it is a Google Play curating app. I do not remember installing. Anyways this has been a good experience so far. I tried restoring adobe flash with Titanium Backup but could not play flash videos. I uninstalled and then reinstalled and it is working great now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] my_heaven_25292:
Damn, I got a bootloop after doing a full wipe and format data. My tablet was stuck at the Asus logo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] spidasense:
Couple of questions. Will blues jazz theme work with this? What about Ubuntu dual boot? Would I be able to down grade? Do any of the current kernels work with the update? Is it a lot faster than 4.1.1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The anwser is no to all your questions. It's a totally new base and fully stock odexed so difficult to tweak and mod.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The new apps weren't added to the TF300 either. They were nicked from a memo smartpad rom ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
What exactly are the differences between the US and WW builds? I bought my TF700 in the States and now I live in Europe. To be honest I have installed CROMI both with the US and WW setting and everything seemed in order. I do not want to take any chances now as I don't want to brick my device.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No idea mate. Probably purely cosmetic tbh. If bought in the states you can flash the us one but you could probably convert to ww as well. Anyone ever done it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
For CROMI: only an entry in build.prop. :)

The original ROM is at least recompiled for each region, so all the binaries are different. I'd guess: WIFI channels (maybe only a simple setting in build.prop) and a different choice of included apps depending on target market.

Would be interesting to baksmali all binaries and compare the decompiled code.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Prior to flashing the new bootloader and new rom I did a nanroid backup of 3.4.7. Can I restore it with the new bootloader installed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes but you will need to reflash a kernel as well. So have kernel flasher handy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sorry I was thinking about the boot loader. :)

For the ROM the only thing I change are a few entries in the build.prop. the main thing this does is stop us users seeing and using WiFi channels above 11 as that says.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
what do you recommend I install?

stock asus or xenogenesis 4.0?

my current rom is cromi 3.4.6 thanks

The rom is root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes both ROMs are rooted.

Up to you. Asus stock has a lot of bloat and is missing flash, browser to ram, etc so you'll have to manage those manually.

I'm rocking CROMi-X v4.2 at the moment (will release today) and really liking it on the 4.1 GUI mode. Feels fine. 4.2 GUI seems to cause some lag though.

Both ROMs and the old CROMI 3.4.7 are interchangeable on the new boot loader so you can switch back if you don't like what Asus have done. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Treggs:
Flashed this over 3.4.6 and did a full wipe. Restored apps with Titanium and all is well :good: I was expecting the 4.2.1 drop down notification menu's as I'm sure I read that they were stock on this rom but clearly that's not true. Is there a way to give them a try? Does Nova have them?

Thanks for the quick release:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Asus haven't included them for their 4.2.1 for TF700 users.

If you want them then flash CROMi-Xenogensis 4.2 :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Treggs:
That must have been where I read it. Cheers.

I assume swapping between this rom and CROMi-Xenogensis 4.2 ok now I have latest TWRP and appropriate boot loader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
Thanks for the reply.

The bootloader is compatible with cromi 3.4.6? (i'm not install 3.4.7)

With jb 4.2 is present the sporadical black line?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
JB 4.2.1 seems to have fixed the black line ;)

But yes you can go back to 3.4.6 on the new bootloader if you wish to.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Totally OK - been dirty flashing between the 2 all day yesterday :)

Love a dirty flash me :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Treggs:
lol, I think you just gave someone a new signature...

Gotta say, so far I think Asus have done a pretty nice job of this. I don't think it's just a fresh install that's making this feel smooth. Things definitely seem to be happening faster overall and generally everything feels smoother too. It's not a night and day difference but it feels like they did some nice work under the hood.

So if I move everything to the sdcard/ it will work or not i dont like folder 0 :D if I move it and then restore 4.1.1 from backup everything will work or no ? :) couse in sdcard/ I already have Android folder and the old one will replace it when I move it.. is that a problem ? By the way you do great job dude ! Many thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Android 4.2 forces the 0 folder to be used. If you move stuff elsewhere it won't be seen or used. In fact normal app and twrp can't see above the 0 folder for the sdcard so you will have to get used to it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Perfect! Thank you. I'll be modding the settings app to unhide that then ;) Wonder why they hid it?

Yes but you get that with CROMI. This is stock and therefore not modded in anyway.

Just edit the /system/etc/config/brightness/brightness.config.xml file with your values and reboot.

Ran Crossbreeder and Browser2Ram. I'm having a pretty experience on this thing. I can only imagine what it will feel like with source released.

One possibly stupid question. Unlocked the 4.2 UI. Has anyone found a way to view the dock battery percentage? It clearly shows the tab percentage and shows an icon but no number for the dock anywhere. I'm asking for the assistance of someone a bit more perceptive than I. It's gotta be here somewhere...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Dunno. It's very possible that Asus haven't included it as that is Google's ui. Does the battery widget still show both?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
It does. I'll just run that. No big deal. Thanks for the tip....
[Asus Transformer TF700] fiidim:
I've noticed a peculiarity with 3.4.7 + the new bootloader +_that v5 + patched TWRP + data2sd.

I can boot into my internal sdcard CROMI and it runs fine. However when I boot into the external sd CROMI, it runs ok until I launch something then everything hangs.

Mind you, this is all dirty flashing, so I would expect a mixed bag of results. I would have expected it to work properly though. Not sure where the problem is. Might try a dalvik wipe next to see if it clears things up.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Nope. Weird that the rom boots from the external ok, but widgets don't load, and launching any app (including Settings) causes everything to freeze.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Here we go again. Install was a breeze, thank you sbdags. Asus apparently did not do anything to improve io benchmark. Ill run test again later but they seem to be the old scores. It took for ever to restore from titanium, and this might be why.

Having said this the things I've tried have been very snappy and smooth. Tapatalk pages really poped open and stock browser seemed not to have delays we come to hate.

Netflix and hulu+ are working.

Overall impression is pretty good as long as i dont look at io scores. If stock browser continues to work as it seems to be right now its a get update, all things considered.

Woody

Thanks again sbdags.

Boot Loop

I got a boot loop after updating from the latest clean rom, 3.7 I think. I reinstalled the bootloader and BINGO.

4.2 is much better. Seems to have finally solved some of the lag problems. The Clean Rom build from this should scream. The tf700t will finally live up to it's marketing hype.
[Asus Transformer TF700] josedaniel:
...I installed last night following the instructions posted here, and everything is going well, except for some strange behavior in the play store. When I try to install Facebook or Twitter, the app isn't available for my version, do I have to change something for the store to work fine? Oh and by the way,I have changed my DPI to 200, could that be the problem?

Thanks for this release!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes. Try 213 or 240.
[Asus Transformer TF700] new_convert:
It worked, thanks! But one question. Is it a bug in stock ROM that the brightness does not come back down automatically when I go to a darker place? If it disable auto-brightness and re-enable it, it goes to the right brightness, but on its own.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Made a nandroid and TB and a full wipe.

Did flash bootloader and altered TWRP without any problem.

Then flashed the odex Rom and all looks good.....

Till I wanted to restore my user apps from TB.

Most restored without any problem but some I couldn't restore like Nova Launcher.

Also I couldn't install these apps from Playstore.

After 2 hours trying I decided to restore my nandroid and do a "dirty" flash of the Rom.

Now it works correct but I don't know where these problems come from.

Hope with new CROMI they will be gone. :confused:

[Asus Transformer TF700] liney_2000:
Did you restore Apps + Data, of just the apps?

I was very careful here and only selected data for a very few apps, such as user accounts and so on, particularly as I did full factory reset and wanted to get the best result.

Nova was an app restore only, I rebuilt the homescreens, painful but I have one very smooth transformer.

BTW Tylor, absolutely no lag on recents - don't particularly like the new setup though
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Tried first (user) apps and data.

3 apps I could not restore like nova. (TB froze)

Then did a hard reboot and only these I couldn't restore.

Also a fresh install from appstore didn't work (got an error).

Then tried after another hard reboot to restore only the app but didn't work also.

Then decided to restore my nandroid and do a dirty flash.

Now all is OK.

Also I noticed that picture quality has improved, more crisp and little more contrast.

Speed wise there is only little differences between latest Cromi and this build of 4.2.1. So Asus made a big improvement here.

That would implicate that new Cromi must be super fast! :)

Curious, what changes needed to be implemented in twrp for 4.2?
[Asus Transformer TF700] xMrArnoldx:
Just flashed it earlier today, and i must say, loving it so far. Asus did a good job with 4.2. One question though, has anyone else installed custom boot animations with rom toolbox yet? just wondering before i do because i want to know if it worked out for them or if there are issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I suggest only use boot animation designed specify for tf700. Rom tool box boot animation is for all android so most of them is not cut out for the high resolution tf700. You're taking chances!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Well, worst thing that would happen, it wouldn't show the bootanimation
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i like that Asus built in the ability to switch from 4.1 to 4.2 launcher (even if it's a bit hidden currently).

The stock browser felt a bit slow. I have no idea how to fix it but for now I am using "naked browser" and it is insanely fast.

BTW did you try installing crossbreader? It doesn't affect the benchmarks but makes many things faster (including browser, perhaps).
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I'll try that. Right now I just rebooted and I keep getting "Unfortunatly Google Search has stopped". Hopefully It will be okay after awhile?!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mike3.14159:
Most of the time if I get a "Unfortunately Google....has stopped", going into all apps and clearing all data on "GoogleServicesFramework" and a reboot tends to clear it up. Works on other devices for me too!

I have switched to the 4.2 launcher as I like the drop downs compared to Asus' notifications but I agree Asus have done the right thing giving us the choice. The second black bar only takes up half what the lower bar does but when you watch a video (say youtube 1080) the top bar disappears giving you the screen real estate you need.

Haven't come across any major bugs yet.

If you switch to 200 or 213 DPI. The black bars take up a lot less and you will have more rows and columns on the launcher :)

I hope so. I think the stability should come before modding. Get a good stable ROM going, then begin adding features after the ROM is rock solid. I think the TF300 port is slow compared to the stock 4.2.1 for the tf700. I am using the stock and personally think it runs great.

Did you ever get confirmation that nvflash files can still be restored on this new bootloader?

I have my nvflash files backed up and want to make sure I don't loose the ability to recover from a soft brick in the event something goes drastically wrong.
