Well I hosed my tablet again. I flashed _that5 and got the dreaded bootloop again. I'm rebuilding my tab as we speak. Any ideas on why we are getting all of these bootloops lately? Could it be fsync being disabled? Thanks to Sbdags at least I get to rebuild with 5.0.2. :good
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
My suspicion is, it's all the tempting tweaks and options sbdags & co have provided lately.

That, plus the understandable reluctance to wipe/format data with each flash.

In a way we, the CROMi users, are spoiled. So far, most of the options we had, almost no matter how we put them together, still gave us a stable system.

All the sudden there's ET, and 720p and cache2sd, and some of the bugs in Hund's kernel didn't help either..... Between the options of different kernels, rom installation options, PLUS our personal setups and potential legacy problems, there's a hundred ways to create havoc.

Don't get me wrong! I love the options you give us Darren!

I just think we, your truthful followers, have to get used to the idea that more options also creates more potential - either way.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Not sure how these "options" work... Where do we choose? I only know of choosing between Balance and Performance. Even on Balanced, Trickster still says I'm running 1800...
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Lol - Since you said it might be coming out tonight I stopped playing around with 5.0.1 and went and watched a few movies. Glad I did :D

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

I'm also curious as to which apps people install and don't install, as well as which options they use.

This time Around I went with _that v5, 1/1.3/1.8 (I rarely ever use perf mode, only when needed in gaming, so these options work best for me). I did not OV/UV, and I left fsync on b/c of gaming as well as RDP into client machines - I need a bit of security when it comes to data writes.

I install a few ASUS apps, but I also Install TiBu as a system app via update.zip after superuser.zip after the ROM (I still prefer Koush's su and Superuser over any other, even though I've paid for both premium versions of the other two lol). No Polaris office, no News and Weather widget (Beautiful Widgets Pro for me and Google Currents).

Oh, and No Data2SD / Cache2SD, stock launcher only, ... yeah, a pretty lame near stock install lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
On which one? I tested all 3 and if you close and reopen trickster and watch the live update you'll see the speeds. The history is broken in trickster.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Will have a chat with LMK about some of the ET. This is why they are listed as experimental. Fsync is always listed with a warning - you are cheating the sql writes waiting to commit before moving on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
In the Aroma installer (5.0.2)

Those are, I think, defaults. If you're tweaking with Trickster probably all bets are off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Many thanks to johnnytraveler and Hammerhand.17 for the donations. Really appreciate the support guys.:good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
I installed 5.0.2 10minutes ago and did'nt see the option to use the cpu frequencies neitheir in aroma nor in cromi app. I choose _that kernel (not the one with OC whici i don't what it is)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
When you use RDP, are there even any data writes? All processing is on the remote computer anyway.

[/QUOTE]

Not only the SQL writes. Remember this is not a patched sqlite library but a patched kernel that will ignore *all* fsync calls.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's only available if you choose the second kernel _that's v5 OC kernel. It can only work with that kernel. It did say this is the changelog ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] aleitch:
I'm back! Got the tab running with the new bootloader, new TWRP and 5.02 w/ _that's version 5. Only problem so far is getting my photos to show up. All of my photos are just gray boxes. I hope they will synch to Picasso at some point. I flashed 5.0.2 and installed Picasso but I can't find the app anywhere. Sigh!! Oh well, I'll figure it out tomorrow. Thanks Darren! It must be time for another beer for you.:D

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
Early morning ? It depends of what you consider as early ;)

For me its' early until 9:00 and i did the flash at 9:30 so i should have got my eyes opened enough to read the instructions ... lol

Important Announcement

Last Tuesday my wife was diagnosed with cancer. It is the most aggressive type. She has already had surgery and the cancer is spreading. She starts intensive chemotherapy on Weds next week.

So if you don't see me around much - you know why :(

There are more important things in my life right now which take priority.

Thank you for all your great support so far and to my wife - I love you and am here to get you through this!

Thank you sbdags, and all the other contributers. I've spent a great deal of time on the 700 and 300 forums. It has been a special time and I've learned so much it is hard to quantify.

My 700 screen cracked and was returned under extended warranty. At first they were going to fix it but decided to pay it off instead. My 300 has moved to my widowed sister in law.

If it weren't for this forum, the 700 experience would have been horrible.

I've lived with terrible top of the line tablets from Asus and world not buy another. The 300 was a better all around tablet than prime or infinity, and they cost a lot more.

Anyway thanks to everyone.

Woody

Damn just read last post. My thoughts are with you sbdags and your family. I'm fighting that battle and it is no fun. Best of luck and kick the **** out of it. From my first treatment, I got 8 years, I'm going on 12 now and my new treatment is working. New treatments on the way. Future for survival is better tha ever.

I have the same issue with the _that F2FS kernel for internal /data and I never did anything with Hund. There may be some issue with _that kenel that is not related to flashing on top of Hund.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Yeah, I've been pretty diaspointed with the 700 too. Almost want it to crack a screen so I have an excuse to replace it. Like you I'm looking for a new tablet, but will probably stay away from ASUS as I question their build quality, tho I love their innovation. I like the new galaxy s tabs (especially the 8.4" model). What are you looking at and leaning towards getting?

I've been traveling a lot so haven't had time to play with my 700 too much. I did try kk, but for me it seems slower than jb so I am back. For those running F2FS, do you feel it makes a big difference?

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It would be depended on setup and users experiences...:) For my setup, comparing between internal ext4 and data2sd f2fs and using SD Card Tester:

Internal with ext4 for data: write speed is around 10Mb/s and read speed is around 15Mb/s.

External with f2fs for data2sd: write speed is around 14.5Mb/s and read speed is around 52Mb/s. I am using Samsung 64GB UHS-1 Class-10 SD and 20Mb/s max write speed and 80Mb/s max read speed. Hope it helps...:)

Edit: I don't think that you can run both because you are sharing the same data partition. So you can only choose either rom2sd or data2sd...:)

For all of you that have been requesting f2fs with the _Thatv10 kernel, look no more I have created a flashable zip that will install the f2fs preintd script to the thatv10 kernel.

You're using the newest swiftkey app from the Play Store right? I think the original tablet only version is outdated. May make a difference - worth a shot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
I wanted to get this to work, but failed. I see you say it will temporarily disable d2sd. That seems to be what is happening to me.

My extsd has 2 partitions, fat32 then f2fs. I'm on cromi-kk, but wanted to go back to jb.

New Lock screen though - I do like this!
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Couldn't get it to work. I would either not get d2sd or it couldn't find sdcard i. I used the _that v10 from his thread, your custom zip and CromiX from the op. I also used twrp to check that internal was ext4 and the data of my external was f2fs.

Where did you get the _that v10 kernel? That might be my problem.

Picture came from my phone as screenshot could not be saved as I only have 128mb of storage (no f2fs on ext or no sdcardi. ?

I can't imagine it's hardware as on cromi kk I have f2fs and d2sd. Also a straight install of CromiX (no data to sd) works.

upgraded boot / recovery to latest (link on first page)

than downloaded the image of latest chrombi XX

device will boot, show boot animation, but will not come up even after 30minutes - stuck on boot animation

any ideas what am i doing wrong?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Maybe your data partition on your external card is really tiny? :)

Apparently you forgot to wipe data. Upgrading from JB to CROMBi-kk is not supported.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I looked into kansasboy's zip now and it contains some variant of the old preinit script that only works if your internal storage is f2fs and doesn't support data2sd. It's amazing that this even booted up on your tablet. :)

The preinit framework that is now included in CROMBi-kk should also work with CROMi-X (on the -that10 kernel), so it's just a matter of installing these files in /system/boot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
And I added the files somewhere in this thread.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
YOU mean this one?

If yes, than I should flash rom, select no kernel in aroma. Then flash this version of _thatv10 kernel, than reboot? Also I am not sure what you mean it will temporarily disable d2sd?

UPDATE :I went ahead and flashed this, but couldn't get d2sd. F2fs is there.

[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
It always worked fine for me, allowing cromix to boot with that v10 f2fs and have CROMBikk on external.

Battery drain

I've been having battery drain issues for a while. Not installing Google now worked for a while but I seem to have a new culprit. Letting the device sleep overnight will drain the keyboard and main batteries to almost zero. WLD indicates that the offending program is "Android services Ethernet".

I've sifted through the abd logs and there are a lot of calls from apps trying to get out to the internet but I don't know if that is what keeps waking the device and with so many different ones doing it I can't believe I'd have to freeze them all to stop this. Would someone mind looming through the attached log to see if there is a common villain here?

Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Is this the latest version of Cromi-X? I've been on KK for some time but am reverting back due to some dock issues I'm seeing with it. Just making sure (it's been a while :)).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes there have been no further updates since Feb. Partly because Asus haven't released anything and partly cos everyone has moved onto Kitkat base roms and there is not much to do to CROMi-X.

I still use it daily and it still works perfectly. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
This is a known bug - if you every used a usb ethernet connector it never releases its resources and drains the battery.

Fix is to reconnect it, kill it and then you can unplug it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I just reinstalled 5.4, but I'm familiar with this issue from a previous life. I think if you run the following terminal command (using root), it will kill the process so that you don't have to connect it. I have mine set up in Tasker that when I disconnect from AC it runs automatically:

netcfg eth0 down

I'll be verifying this weekend if it still works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thanks for that good to know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
Thanks to both of you for this. This has been the only "quirk" with this most excellent ROM. I can't bring myself to switch to KK because this rom is so stable and hassle free.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Don't get too excited just yet. I think it's the solution, but it's been while since I tried it on this ROM version. Please post back and let us know if it's working for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
Yeah, I started dancing too soon. eth0 is not a recognized device for netcfg.

Which process should I kill with the adapter plugged in?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I think you can go into the settings and just disable it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
OK, that worked. To be clear:

With the device plugged in, go to settings and under the wifi option there will be an option called Ethernet. Turn that off and then you can un-plug the USB adapter.

I also tried the netcfg command and that did not work. With the adapter plugged in, it did not give an error but it did not kill the resources either.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
Well, I spoke too soon. Left it overnight and it was back with a 50% drain of the battery. Not even a re-boot kills this. Any other ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
OK solved it. With device plugged in go to settings and turn off the "stay connected during sleep" setting. Never thought it meant even with device gone[emoji15].
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes that is the one. I don't have a dock anymore so couldn't test it. Basically it gets stuck on even though the device has been unplugged :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Funny... After being on KK since it's release, it was interesting to re-learn the idiosyncracies of this ROM. First off -- mission accomplished. The dock is once again working perfectly with the asus stock code base (no surprise). A few things I observed:

- The launcher is really snappy compared to KK

- There is more lag overall than KK. In day to day use, KK would be my preference if not for the dock concerns

- There is no immersive mode -- in apps like MX player, the nav buttons 'hide' but leaves the bar persistent on the bottom of the screen

- I miss having stationary icons in the launcher. Maybe I'll switch to Nova and see how it performs. The native launcher is faster than the GEL.

- I really think the apps perform better under KK in general.

Since I primarily use the tab for video consumption (why the ethernet dock is so important to me), I'll stay put on Cromi-X. Otherwise I'd be jumping back to KK immediately. None of this is a complaint, mind you, just posting for those that are considering upgrading and are unsure.

I would love a stock looking ROM as the Cromi-X :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Is there something suggesting that this can be ported to the TF700? I would assume that's not going to happen. Besides, there is already a KitKat ROM for it (but obviously not from Asus).

The tf 701's KitKat rom can not be ported to the tf700. If you want a stock feel please use the Asus apps package.

Thanks for validating my assumption. :)
