B2R and Google Play priority

o Is "Floating Browser" included in the Browser2ram script? It scrolls really choppy compared to stock and chrome.

o second issue, this evening I noticed that while installing a couple of apps from Google Play, if I left play and started browsing, the browser would hang once the Play app had completed download and began installing. Darren, you'd mentioned something about this earlier in the thread, but I didn't see anything that fixed the issue. Did your install hangs cease? Thanks.

Wipe

I finally had to do a WIPE (from TWRP) to fix mine. I'd been doing dirty loads all the way from 4.7.

Made my TF700 the machine it's supposed to be. I'm a happy camper.

Cromix 5.2.2, _thatv7, fsync off. Quadrant shows 6800+

No ROM2SD (yet, but I'll get there.

Hey friend -

Did you ever get around to codeing a script to flash for journal choices ?

Cheers :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is completed but I have not tested it yet. If you are interested, I will test it and post it up...;)

I'm going to reflash without battery uv. I haven't crashed since being on balanced mode, though.

Plan on that7, default OC options,zip align, fsync off, GPU rendering, xloud audio manager,

Problems

Anyone has touch screen issues after 5.2.2 update? Sometimes the touch screen becomes unresponsive an on the browser while scrolling the page keeps zooming in. First time im having these problems.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
I've always had the zooming issue.

From my LG-G2 CleanROM 1.0
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What zooming issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I have not had any zooming issues with the browser. However, since we upgraded to 4.2 I have always had an issue with the browser fcing every once and a while when I use the backspace button while posting in xda. hi <----I am too afriad to edlete that bc I do not want to risk the browser fcing lol. This only happens when posting on xda. Its not a big deal, just makes updating my guide a little difficult. I could finish an entire paragraph, make one little errior, try to delete it, and lose everything I just worked on. Super fun times lol.

I can't figure out why for the life of me. Its so random, it doesnt happen every time I use it, and its only specific to xda. Makes absolutely no sense.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aybesea69:
I'm sorry to ask this, but I've tried to scour this thread for an answer and I just can't find one.

My tablet is currently on CROMI-X using data2sd. I'm trying to figure out rom2sd.I have no intention of ever dual booting, but I've found posts that infer that rom2sd outperforms data2sd. Is this true?

If so, it appears that I need to add a third partition (ext4) to my SD card. Then it appears that I can just use the CROMI-X installer to set things up. Is this correct?

Can I see my internal flash from rom2sd, the way that I can from data2sd?

Is there a flashable file for rom2sd that will let me do nandroid, etc like I did with data2sd?

Is there a thread that explains all of this and more (I couldn't find one) for those who only want to run one rom?

Any direction would be most appreciated!

[Asus Transformer TF700] calvinb1:
I had the exact symptoms a few months ago and it turned out to be a bad digitizer. I had my tablet replaced under BestBuy warranty and have not had the issue happen since.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wollac11:
Data2SD with this ROM doesn't work on my tablet. Every time I attempt to use it, the room will not boot. It will stay on the boot animation. Even after wiping everything and reformatting the card and installing completely fresh does not work. I have a 64GB TF700 with the latest WW bootloader and TWRP and I am using a Samsung 64GB PRO UHS-1 micro SD card partitioned with gparted using a 4GB Fat32 partition followed by an ext4 partition filling the remainder with the boot flag.

Any ideas?

Are you running Hunds kernel + ET?

Try a _that kernel.

I do not have that problem in the stock browser. I wrote and used backspace multiple times in writing this post - everything is fine....

Are you using an ad blocker?

Those caused so many strange problems that I have stopped using them....

In the meantime - if you can remember it - just use forward delete! :D

Forward delete won't work while I am using xda either lol. Derp.

anyone notice high standby battery drain with this rom?

5.2.2 with thatv7+OC kernel

No rom2sd

no data2sd

I leave it overnight and it would lose like 25% or more battery.

I didn't have this problem on the stock rom (before rooting/unlocking)
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
I'm using Hund's and seeing heavy battery usage overnight, too... but I saw that on stock as well (and others have reported it with not just the Infinity, but the whole Transformer series). One big thing you can do is set the WiFi to off when it sleeps, but you'll pay the price when you light it back up and it has to sync everything. :/
[Asus Transformer TF700] geniv:
thanks but I have everything shut off I can think off

- syncing disabled

- daydream thingy off

[Asus Transformer TF700] raven2raven:
Hi guys, I need some help, please. For the last two days I am trying to install ROM2SD and I can't, I have read this thread, _that's thread and lucius.zen's thread but no luck, I really don't know where I make the mistake.

So, I am trying to install CROMI on an external microSD (by the way, I have tried with two cards, a normal 16 Gb class 10 and an ultra fast 16 Gb UHS 1. I will try to explain what I did, maybe one of you discovers the mistake. I flashed the last bootloader .10 (TF700T)

I made 3 partitions on the cards. First one 6 Gb FAT32 primary, second 8 Gb EXT 4 primary and the third one 1 Gb EXT 4 primary and with BOOT flag enabled (like in lucius.zen's thread) ... all divisible by 4

I flashed CROMI, clean install, with wipe all and on another attempt with format. .... with _that v7 OC kernel ..... let it boot and reboot in recovery

I flashed again CROMI ... also with _that v7 OC kernel.

On the Kernel page in Aroma, I have used different combinations with rom2sd options ...... option 1 first and option 3 for the second install of the rom ............ option 1 + option 4 ........ and also option 3 + option 4

I have tried also with mount_rom2sd.zip .... from lucius.zen's thread - error when flashing, with or without zip signature, also with the three files from _that's thread and also without any file like I saw written by Sbdags.

Too much information probably is no good. With some attempts, I think the rom was installed on the sd, because it took under 1 minute for the whole rom to install, otherwise it takes 3-4 minutes, but at boot I get errors on penguins page. Last attempt I thought it was THE one, it passes the penguins ok, but I get a bootloop with "ANDROID" screen.

Can anyone make a small set of instructions for installing CROMI on internal and on external microSD card ? Same kernels, I want only to boot CROMI from the microSD

Thanks :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You don't need to set the bootflag. You didn't say you did the partitions in GPARTED but that is the only way of partitioning.

When you install do the first install with that7 and no ROM2sd option

Reboot

Then the second time install thatv7 with only the ROM2SD option checked (option 3)

Reboot

If it fails again maybe time to check the card. The first one sounds too slow. What is the second one? What speed rating?
[Asus Transformer TF700] raven2raven:
Yes, I partitioned in Gparted. I will erase the flag.

If I understood corectly ... first option 1 and than option 3 ? without any aditional files ?

The second card is extreme pro, 95 mb/s .... the other 22 or 24 mb/s if I remember corectly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I could not get the Scandisk Extreme working with ROM2SD either. It works fine as normal storage, but trying to install ROM2SD made me question my sanity... :sly:

Try to get your hands on class 10 card. I had no problem running miniC as ROM2SD on a class 4 card btw, but the master recommends a class 10. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] raven2raven:
I have a class 10 card, but I think it's even worse than the internal one, although samsung says that the read/write speed is 24/13 mb/s ... I hoped the extreme pro would dramaticaly improve the tablet's performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The second card won't work unfortunately. :( It's too fast and not compatible as ext4 for using with android.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well some good class 4s are better than class 10s :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You are correct..:good: You can use some reasonable app to test the speed of the sd card for read and write speeds...:)

BTW, Did you figure out how to set the read ahead buffer on 5.2.2?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The only way to diagnose boot problems is to obtain a logcat via adb and read it ("adb logcat > log.txt" from your PC).

The truth is that "class X" indicates minimum sequential write speed and says nothing at all about performance as OS or data drive, where random access with various block sizes is much more common.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes - all done in 5.2.3 :) Just signing the apks now. ;) ET 1.5 tested and included.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for adding the ET v1.5...;) I need to check the ET build.prop on the v5.2.3 with my current to make sure that it is up to date. I just requested Hund to add more I/O schedulers and the two that he added will give a boost in I/O performance according to my research. I am working on optimizing them the right now. If it turns out good, I will release the next version of ET...:)

BTW, you are great in keeping the Cromi X up to date...;) Great works and thanks for all the hard works to keep our tf700t running like the top notch device even though it is more than 1 year old....:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Already got hunds 3.4.3 in as well :) Your build prop hasn't changed for a while has it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] raven2raven:
You gave me the worst possible news :(

I thought I will have a 1000 bhp tablet with this card :laugh: . Btw, isn't the card capable of working at lower speeds ? Or why is it incompatible ?

Wich is the fastest card tested to work with our tablet ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I don't think so. However, I change things so much and hard to keep up what are there any more....:p One good way is double check them...;) I will do that when you are uploading v5.2.3...:)

BTW, I did test more on the wifi bug and this is what I find out. You must turn off the wifi optimization in the Asus advance setting. If you have it on, it works most of the time but sometime it is still in a low power state and you will loose a huge bandwidth until you restart your wifi daemon..

Also, in the build.prop, I changed the wifi persistent and wifi supplicant down to 45 or 60 seconds to work the best. You will loose some battery but it works a lot better then 180 seconds...:) AFAIK, those are the changes but they are for testing purpose only and they are not permanent..
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What a day! I have been migrating all my tools over to my new Windows 8.1 computer.

First off all my cygwin tools would not work as it seems the visual studio c++ tools that ship and can be installed on an x64 CPU are not compatible with the older x86 libraries.

This meant decompiling a kernel became very hit and miss as cpio and gzip executables weren't working at all. I finally got most of it fixed boot I couldn't get a kernel to repack into an img file properly. If anyone knows of a working makebootimg.exe compatible with x64 that would be great. In the mean time I have a work around using the dsxidia kitchen cygwin tools.

Then my signapk.jar file that I got from _that and have been using for ages just won't work on Windows 8.1. It fails miserably on 2 machines. It seems that no amount of heap memory allocation can solve it and it just gives out of memory errors. FInaly fixed that by nicking a really old version from elsewhere :)

Finally I couldn't copy anything over about 10MB to my device, internal or external. Turns out after many hours of wasting time, my cable has gone bad :eek: Luckily I have a spare and it works fine.

Then to top it all off - my sdcard got corrupted when I unplugged it from the PC without properly soft ejecting it first. Sheesh! :rolleyes: Anyway 5.2.3 built and signed now.

Off to do some final testing. :victory:

Definitely adding this to my guide it's fckin sweet.

Xposed and gravity

Do I miss something with Xposed ? I never installed it before this new update (thanks sbdags for it !) but did it this time mostly for the circle battery indicator from gravity, but it doesn't seem to have any effect in fact.

Any suggestion ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nope you can install normal first. Rom2sd compatibility is if you installed rom2sd first and then you wanted to update internal. Get it?

Will definitely be adding this.

Yes xposed doesn't do much on 4.1 GUI. Try it on 4.2 GUI. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
I think smalis is refering to the guide in lucius.zen thread [How to Tweak and Optimize Android's Performance]

were it says:

Create Partition for System Storage: .... <snip>

ROM2SD - The second partition you need to make will contain your /data and /media partitions. The third partition will contain your /system partition. It only needs enough space to store your ROM and kernel so we will create it first at the very end of the microSD card. Create a primary partition using the ext4 file system with 1Gb of space. After you have created this partition you will need to flag it to run at boot.

Right click the ext4 partition and select “Manage Flags" and check the box beside “Boot”.

Now create another primary partition using the ext4 file system with the remaining space on your card. You are done reformatting, simply exit Gparted.

======================================

If you are following this guide smilis ... (dont) This is for tweaking your setup on a CROMI-ROM2SD. Just follow the instruction's in sbdags OP. You dont need to set any flags.

And Also , when I install I chose #4 first install ROM2SD compatibility mode to internal. Reboot, then do the Android setup wizard, then reboot back to recovery and then chose #3 install Rom2SD.

Good Luck

ON ANOTHER NOTE ......

I know this script was created by _that (i think) but I can not seem to get mount-rom2sd.zip to flash.

Every time a try via TWRP I get "FAILED". I am trying to be able to nandroid backup internal and also MicroSD installs of Cromi.

Cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Correct so far.

This contradicts the first sentence (also, the kernel has its own partition). The partitions must be created in the correct order! So you must create the system partition last. If you follow this guide, you will end up with swapped partitions 2 and 3. Also, the boot flag is totally irrelevant. Do not follow this guide if you want ROM2SD to work.

I don't remember releasing a zip named "mount-mount-rom2sd.zip" :) (also not "mount-rom2sd.zip").

But grab the recovery log ("adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" AFAIR, or use the menu option in TWRP) and read or post it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like a zip I made based off mista_muffin's mount-data2sd.zip. Anyway it is superseded by your rom2sd1.zip which works much better.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Ok very odd .... I get the same error with ROM2SD1.zip ... Do i flash that along with my first flash of cromni (option #4) ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Yo, I find the home keyboard button annoying bc I always hit it when I try to use the fn button. Remapped it to function as ALT_LEFT so its easier to do ALT_TAB multitasking :). Reemapped useless menu button as home buttom bc I never accideintally hit that one. For some reason remapping unlock buttom as FORWARD_DEL will still not allow us to use it as a delete button in xda. However, it does work in all other situations.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
hmmm... TWRP's error handling sucks. :)

E:Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip '/external_sdcard/mount-rom2sd.zip'

Usually, at least the log has some more details error messages than shown in the GUI - not in your case.

The important thing is that it works differently. Instead of manipulating mount points, it manipulates device nodes, which are one level below mounts.

A short overview of what is happening here:

The kernel assigns unique numbers to the devices in the system ... so-called major and minor numbers. Here is the complete list: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devices.txt - in this file we can see that major 179 for block devices is reserved for MMC block devices, and how minor device numbers are assigned to unique devices and their partitions (in our kernel, CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_MINORS is 16).

One level up in the hierarchy are the device nodes: Some user-space program - in the case of Android, it's done by init, for desktop Linux it's usually udev - assigns names to these device numbers and creates so-called device files (also called device nodes) in the /dev directory. You can create such device nodes using the mknod tool. My rom2sd1.zip uses mv and mknod to swap device nodes around. So anyone who mounts /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 gets the hardware device that is usually named /dev/block/mmcblk1p3. The script outputs the device names and numbers after it runs, so with some practice you can see if the current assignment is the normal or the "ROM2SD" one.

Another level up are the mount points: You can mount a block device node that contains a valid filesystem somewhere in the directory hierarchy. "mount-data2sd.zip" manipulates only this layer, so it doesn't survive a ROM installation, which usually starts with "unmount and format /system".
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Hey dude,

If you want me to rename/remove your .zip from your thread I will get on that ASAP. I figured crediting it to you and providing a link to your profile and ROM2SD thread would be cool. I am really sorry I should have asked, don't really know how this works. I was simply trying to make it easier for people to quickly apply ROM2SD.

All the best,

Lucius
