[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
I installed CROMi-X 5.4 because I was very unimpressed with the speed of the TF700T (presumably because of the poor flash performance). I am looking to reinstall CROMi-X so that I can go through the installer again and select data2sd to see if that helps. However, I'm a bit confused. I remember seeing this in the installer when I went through it the first time but in the 2nd post of this thread it talks about a Kernel & Tweaks Installer. Do I need to install that after installing the normal CROMi-X image? If so, do I go through setup before flashing the tweaks installer or do I flash the ROM and then the tweaks images in succession?

Sorry for the newbie question but the directions aren't clear to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
The kernel and tweaks have been incorporated into the latest cROMi-X Aroma installer, so no you do not need them anymore.

The first post has all the instructions that you need.

Hoping somebody can help with an odd problem I've got...

Over the last few days I have been observing the superfast battery drain that others have reported and I can happily say seems to have gone away with me switching off location services completely, force stopping them and rebooting, however i then started noticing something weird with the battery stats and the graph as shown in this screenshot...

Is there any way of clearing these stats? tried doing a reboot, a full power off but the stats dont reset as they do with my other devices (and am sure it used to on my infinity)

Also it spent a day depleting the tablet battery while not touching the dock battery but an undock, reboot and then redock seems to have fixed that.

I am sure it's not Cromi-X causing it but thought you guys may have some ideas n how to fix it?

Cheers

[Asus Transformer TF700] olegat0r:
Just charge it till 100%, or delete /data/system/batterystats.bin or choose option in recovery "wipe battery stats" if you have it there.

And maybe try to reflash the rom with all wipes. Because I have no such drain on my tf700 with location services on all the time.

Sent from my new LG L90 D410 that is still NOT ROOTED!! ARGH!
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
What [MENTION=4597087]olegat0r[/MENTION] is saying, when you charge the tablet to 100%, at the point when you unplug the charger, the battery stats are reset. If you want to do it faster, they delete the file he suggested.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
Cheers for this. I had tried both. Twrp 7.2.0.0 doesn't seem to have the option to wipe battery stats. What it took in the end was a full charge plus a reboot while undocked to reset battery stats
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Is there any way to remap the settings key on the dock, to the application switcher button?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I put it in the installer. Hit search and tab.
[Asus Transformer TF700] oxnardprof:
I looked a little more closely, and it seems the tablet is attempting to use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). However, my router does not have a WPS button. I don't think I did this previously. Is there a way to turn off the WPS setting? I searched but could not find this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gordonbennet:
New user of Cromi. Works wonderfully so far.

Just a question: I have been using stock with root for a year and just did a factory reset in TWRP to install cromi. Do you recommend I do more than a factory reset and wipe all internal data as well when installing Cromi? Would that make any difference over a factory reset in TWRP?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
A factory reset is fine assumning you are going to choose the default selection in the installer to wipe cache and Dalvik during installation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ananasnonym:
Are there any more problems? I would be glad to help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
No issue so far but I don't know if it solves your Wlan problem..:) Maybe,, you can test it for me.. BTW, the stock source is using very old kernel version. I am trying to merge it with the larest kernel version to see if it is working better...:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
I reinstalled CROMi-X and selected the option to use data2sd with a non-OC _that kernel. Unfortulately, I was surprised that performance was even worse. Definitely not what I was expecting. It's nice that all I had to do was swap the MicroSD card back to my original (without the ext4 partition) and my tablet was back to where I was before the data2sd experiment.

Any ideas why it would be so slow? The card I used for the data2sd partition is this one. It's a class 10 so I expected better performance out of it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
According to the reviews on that page, this card seems to be really slow for its class, and according to the benchmark screenshot on that page it has very bad I/O performance with small blocks. Data2SD with 4K writes below 1 MB/s won't make you happy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
You may want to check out some of the SD card class testing threads in the Nook HD+ section. Since the Nook can boot the OS from the card and runs off of it, people are very finicky about their card performance there. Several class 4 cards soundly trounce class 10 card.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
Any idea what the best way to test the performance of the cards is? I've got several older microsd cards laying around that I'd like to test before buying something else. Who knew that class 10 would be slower than class 4???
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
A lot of class 10 listed cards are rubbish. Kingston are known to be very bad (wonder why they are cheap?)

I stay with sandisk or samsung. Most others are cheapo brands.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ananasnonym:
Link? :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Yeah pretty much. There was an app that tests the read/write speeds of the card. A number of class 4s just simply handled the load much more efficiently.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Very true. And sad to say but there are counterfeit SanDisk cards on the market also, so be careful from where you purchase them. If the price seems to good to be true then it probably is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ananasnonym:
I really would love to use the ET with Data2SD on the latest Cromi. However, I must report following serious issues:

When connecting to a new Wireless network, DNS doesn't work. Internet works fine when I type in the IP, but not with the domain. This issue also occurs sometimes even with known networks after boot until reboot.

Location services is locked to the setting it was when last shutting down the tablet. I can change the setting in the settings menu, but it also jumps on/off first time and it works only after the second time i try to change them (but they don't change for real until I reboot)

I cannot switch keyboards.

What could be the cause?
[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION] please post your setup so I can test if the issues are gone with your configuration .. Thank you soo much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
So now I bought another SD card, this time a 32GB Samsung Class 4 and while the tablet is noticeably quicker, every time I try to update any apps from the Play Store I get this:

"Update for <app> could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-3])"

Any tips for what this means and how I can resolve it? I feel like I'm getting close to having a usable tablet, but I'm also getting close to throwing this thing up against the wall :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:

EDIT: What setup configuration do you want to know? I am running Cromi 5.4 with data2sd f2fs and don't have the network issue. I am using Asus keyboard from the rom...:) Please let me know what kb you are trying to switch to so I can test it on my device..:) thanks..

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Honestly, I don't notice any differences about battery life on 3.3.6, 3.3.7, and 3.3.8 at all. In theory, 3.3.7 and 3.3.8 should give you more battery life because of a lower lp core frequency. However, the main battery hogs are the wifi and the screen usages. You are probably monitor your battery usages and notice this already. My system battery usage is only 3% over all out of 100% and max out about 5%. I don't think you will gain much more of battery life if you try to improve in those area. According to my testing, 3.3.7 and 3.3.8 are less responsive than the previous versions. However, we need more input from others users to confirm it... :) Of course it is just my two cents and only my opinion. Others users may believe and have different opinions.. :)

Many thanks to _that and Hunds for updated kernels this week ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks Sbdags. I will test it out. It is a perfect timing because I do so many testing and my device does not behave normal any more.. :) It is time to have a clean install again. I should not test stuff out any more and leave it as a default settings... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Nice pattern! :)

Does it only occur in the launcher?

I am 95% sure the figures for wifi are wrong. Asus put implausible numbers into the power profile.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Send them over if you have any good ones :)

First time I have ever seen that. Which options did you choose with which kernel? Clean or Dirty flash?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Hahaha, it is another Asus bogus. Do their programmers know what they are doing or just put some codes there and release it because of the dead line? :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
It sure seems that way. I think I may know what's causing it now (although don't know how to fix). I use a bluetooth mouse when my tablet is docked and I'm sitting at a desk. With the new 5.0.1 release, when I hover over an icon in the launcher, it puts a blue box around the icon. I've found that I can pretty reliably cause the problem to happen just by quickly moving the mouse back and forth over some icons on my desktop (so the icons get highlighted in blue). Same result using the trackpad. Since there isn't really a way to "hover" over an icon without using the mouse or trackpad, the problem doesn't seem to happen when navigating the interface via "touch" (if that makes sense).

Try turning on your trackpad and moving back and forth over your "dock" icons - you'll probably get the problem to happen (assuming it's not something specific to my setup).

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Let me try that now mate.... Seeing as I'm currently docked. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Did you uv your GPU? I am playing with the renderer lately but I have not seen anything like that..

Edit: This post is for jtrosky, not at Sbdags.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nope I cannot recreate this at all. It's something specific to your set up.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Nope, not OC'd on GPU or CPU. Using [MENTION=933916]that[/MENTION] kernel.

Since I seem to be the only one having this issue and I "dirty" flashed, I guess it's time to do a clean flash. I literally can't go 15 minutes without the issue occurring in the launcher, so I would imagine that someone else would have run into this by now if it were an actual ROM problem.

I'll do a fresh install and report back.

Thanks everyone!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berek9999:
As a follow up to this, I've attached a logcat from tonight, where the battery dropped from 68% to 34% in less than 5 hours with the tablet just sitting there closed up. This was at the point where the dock battery was depleted and it was running on just the battery in the tablet, so there was no charging from the dock battery.

I don't really know how to interpret this and I've no idea if this is relevant, but there are numerous entries such as:

D/BatteryService(551): Sending ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED. level:68, scale:100, status:4, health:2, present:true, voltage: 7, temperature: 233, technology: Li-ion, AC powered:false, USB powered:false, Wireless powered:false, dock AC powered:false, dock status:4, dock level:0, icon:17302917, invalid charger:0

Is this of any help to the devs in working out what's going on?

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
well you could extract it from the rom, push it to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--

But why don't you just reflash the rom with the same options + this app - takes 5 mins and you don't have to wipe and you won't lose anything?

Issue concerning Data2SD: I cannot log in to Spotify. Is there any way to get this working without setting up the first configuration on internal (I mean to install a normal Cromi and go through the initial setup, then boot back to data2sd cromi)?

I would like to keep it as clean as possible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Yes. After booting into the normal setup, then reboot it into your recovery and flash your data2sd zip. It should boot into data2sd directly after that..:D If you want to boot back into your internal sd, you need to remove your external sd before rebooting your device or delete the boot folder under /system to permenant booting into your internal sd, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

CROMi-X Perfection

Just dropping in to give my 2 cents. I have spent the last few weeks flashing between this and CROMBi-KK. The work of sbdags and crew on CROMBi-KK is wonderful and deserves many thanks and praises. Here comes the big proverbial "but"... I hung in there and tried to make CROMBi-KK work for me, but I can honestly say that I never saw it run nearly as smoothly as CROMi-X. I think it could be much different had ASUS carried on with supporting the tf700, but coming from the CM base and subtracting some of the good things that ASUS incorporated in it's stock ROM puts CROMBi-KK on an inferior plane when compared to CROMi-X. As I stated earlier in this post, this is in no way an attempt to minimize the work that anyone has done on CROMBi-KK. It's just my humble opinion that the work done here is an absolute stroke of genius and the perfect combination of features and perfomance that makes this tablet shine.

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I agree with you. I came back to Cromix 5.4 for the same reason but I do have a nanroid backup of Crombi-KK. We need to keep in mind Crombi-KK is a new project and like Cromi-x it will get better over time.:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
Same here... I will continue to track the progress of CROMBi-KK and test it out to see how it's progressing, but for now this one is the go to for my daily use.

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I still use cromix daily as it is better. ;)

But 5.4 is so good it only needs a minor update which would be to implement f2fs.

Maybe this month ;)

Would someone give me a hand getting the bootloader/TWRP installed?

My tablet is currently on an old CM10.2 (big part of the reason I'm trying to update) with CWM 6.0.4.7, and I'm getting caught up at the first step with the "status 7" error. The text is a bit small for old eyes, but I think It says "cardhu bootloader (2.10e)" ? It doesn't stay on the screen when the Wipe/USB/Android options come up.

Going through this thread and some googling, I've tried all the "fixes" I've found.

I've wiped /data from CWM.

I've redownloaded the zip (twice)

I've tried it from both internal and external storage -- the only difference is the filepath in the "E:" line.

I've manually mounted /data before trying to install

I have not try that so I can not answer question.. If you have fastboot going, You can update your bootloader with the stock Asus firmware and use fastboot to install your recovery..:) That is the method that I use all the time, good luck..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] HerrKomissar:
I'll have to see if I can find the right stock version to get me on the right bootloader then. Thanks.

Updated with a thought: Couldn't I just use fastboot to flash the bootloader blob?

Update 2: Well, instead of getting fancy, I tried to go ahead with the reflash stock route. First I tried the (apparently wrong) "howto" method of "flash system blob".

"Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)"

Reading on some more, I found it should apparently be "flash staging blob." Ran that and got the same result.

Starting to be afraid that I'll be forever stuck on CM...

FINAL UPDATE: Bugger me. I just should have "gotten fancy." Fastbooting the bootloader/recovery image from the first post worked a treat. :D One step closer.

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am not sure what is going and not very familiar with CWM. If you really want to get it going, you could try this or wait until someone has a better knowledge to help you out.

1. Try to install the stock Asus in your CWM recovery. Make sure to unzip it once because it is a zip inside another zip.

2. If it does not work out for you. You need to download the new twrp here and choose the version that you want. twrp v2.7 is the latest and working fine on my device.

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf700t

3. Use your fastboot to install the twrp

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery your_download_twrp.blob

4. If you are success with the new installed twrp, then you can try to reinstall the zip from the first post. Let start with that to see where we at.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

It is good to hear that you get it going with the fastboot cmd...:good: Are you using this cmd?

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

I am just curious...:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] HerrKomissar:
Yep. That got the bootloader installed. I've just done the ROM install. It booted, did the "updating applications" dance (Odexing or zip-aligning, I imagine), and rebooted. It's been sitting on the boot animation for awhile now, but I'm not freaking out and telling myself that the post says it takes a while to initialize the first time...

Did you format your /data partition? If you are coming from another ROM base like CM, it should be a better idea to format your /data partition or at least do a full wipe from your recovery...just my two cents...:laugh:
