I really don't care cause it serves the purpose I need it for, but since I've installed this rom installing apps from the play store doesn't work correctly (says installing forever, hot reboot will get an install, but it'l still say "installing..." and then another hot reboot and it's good to go) also usb doesn't work, even with asus sync. I really don't care, all I need it to do is GPS and the occasional movie, but I'm sure that's a big thing to other people.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No one else has this issue do they? Must be something to your particular setup.... Give us more details. How did you install? Dirty or clean? Which options etc. That is not normal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
Completely clean flash (I had to wipe internal sd because it was bootlooping after install)

Other than that I'm pretty sure I used the normal kernal (v4?) and the normal mods that are checked off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
And you can't install or update any apps from the play store?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
I'm going to throw this out there. Perhaps there are good reasons for not doing that I'm not seeing. On another ROM that I flash for my S3, the dev gives the option in aroma to only flash a kernel. I know there's a kernel only package that I could and do download.

That said, perhaps it would prevent you from having to maintain a separate kernel package. It seems that there are more frequent ROM updates than kernel updates. On occasion, I've wished I could just flash the only the kernel directly from the 5.0.3 package.

Thoughts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
I can, it just takes 2 reboots to do it correctly. If I just install, it says "installing..." forever. If I reboot, it installs, but it still says "installing..." in the notification bar. 3rd reboot finishes it all up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I could do that but that is what the kernel package is for. The ROM package always formats system so I don't have to clean up too much as it all gets wiped. The kernel installer has extra routines for cleaning first to remove remnants from each kernel to stop issues. I'd have to build both methods in if I did that......

Does the other guy offer 5+ kernels for 5 different devices in one package? I offer 20 plus different kernel options I think......

Anyway I may add it but it sounds like a lot of work to maintain .........

You can always switch kernels and choose the same options. That way you won't lose anything?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
How odd.

Try the latest 4.2.2 play store package from below. Clear you apps data on the play store and Google play services and reboot. Does it fix it?

I'm starting to think that these mysterious draining issues happen when some apps get updated between ROM and Market Versions and somehow it breaks them, causing runaway wakelocks. This is what I did to find what was draining me:

NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE WILL NOT WORK WITH THE ET EDITION. ET has disbled logging and as such, will not log to logcat.

1. Open a terminal.

2. type in the following commands

cd /sdcard
logcat -c
logcat -f logcat.txt -v time *:S &

4. Don't close the terminal emulator

3. Put the tablet/dock in standby (hit power and close the kb/tab)

4. Don't touch it for 30 minutes

5. Open the terminal emulator and type

cat logcat.txt | grep WAKEUP

6. Remove the applications causing these wakelocks

7. On the terminal run the command

fg

and press [CTRL]+C to exit logcat

8. Reboot tablet, undock it, and dock it again

9. Test in standby for 8 hours. If drain is >4%, go to #1 and repeat

See if that helps.

4.2 installed, works, but the problem persists.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Some of the tweaks don't stick or work with the init.d script. I have to update them in the init.rc, init.cardhu.rc, and fstab.cardhu.. It will take a while for me to understand _that v5 and test it. I am totally new to Android and I wish that I have a technical knowledge like master sbdags and _that.. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The files in / come from the kernel's ramdisk - to change them, you normally need to repack the kernel boot image, as described in my tutorial. But there is an easier way: get the Data2SD add-on, examine and modify it to your needs - the preinit script runs before Android's init and you can use it to copy your changed files from /system/boot into the root directory.

If you have specific questions, just open a thread in Q&A (please avoid asking via PM).
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks _that. I guessed that I chose the hard way, hehehe. However, it is not that bad if you have a hang of it. I will make sure that I will post it in the Q&A... ;)

Is anyone else having issues with music players not finding music? Apollo says no music found, playerpro just says "scanning sd card" but never stops.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you sure you don't have a corrupted SD card? Did you install cache2sd or data2sd? My music players work fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
Put everything straight on the internal. Didn't do either of those I don't think.

I found something that says to clear data on "media storage" in settings > apps, but I don't have anything called media storage. Normal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Media storage is what caches your music, and pictures etc. Clear data on that and reboot it may help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
Just said that isn't there

Also I get a notification that screenshots don't take "Couldn't capture screenshot, storage may be in use" but it saves fine.

When I try and upload, I get the error "your computer detected a usb cord and locked your phone for storage. Please disconnect the cord to see your photos." googling that didn't pull up anything helpful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like you have some issues.......

That is not right.

DId you restore any apps from a previous rom when installing? Media Storage on mine is right after Market Feedback Agent - I just checked.

Maybe the ROM didn't flash fully? I don't know but sounds like your system is borked to me......

Try flashing it again with a format data to be sure?
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
I had to format everything but external to get it to install in the first place
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
FYI - Media Storage show up on mine as well...
[Asus Transformer TF700] schmeggy929:
why are you rebooting tablet, undocking it and then docking again? That is a known cause to drain battery faster than it should. It has been mentioned many times to power off tablet then dock it. Since Jellybean this has been an issue for many. The only workaround is having tablet off before docking it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
I'm thinking testing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
Tried pulling MediaProvider.apk out of the rom file. "App not installed" I don't know why I thought it'd be that simple.

Is there something I could flash? I think I found out the issue. I'm pretty sure after fresh install I removed the default file manager, never been a problem before, but would that be an issue on this rom? For example most camera apps are linked to the gallery.apk so would removing the system file manager actually remove the media storage?

Edit: Trying a new install, but this time I'm not gonna uninstall anything for a while
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
Exactly. After finding my culprits, I can dock/undock ad-nauseam without effect on battery. Thus, if you want to find the culprit, you might as well throw in the stuff that does cause it to drain, supposedly, that is, docking the tablet. Rebooting just puts all services down that may be still be in memory after removing a possible guilty component; ie you don't want to remove a service and test for battery drain only to find that even though you removed it, it was still running in memory and draining the battery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] schmeggy929:
gotcha, sounds good
[Asus Transformer TF700] f2bacon:
Google play problems and media storage problems disappeared after a fresh install. Fingers crossed for no issues down the road.

CROMi-X v5.0.3 - WOW!!!!

Thanks sbdags :D

I've just installed CROMi-X v5.0.3 with _that's v5 kernal & all I can say is WOW!!!

My TF700 is sooooo much faster than it was before, app switching especially.

Thanks for your continued support & all the effort you put in so that noobs like me can unlock/root their hardware & improve it from the stock versions we buy :highfive:

Thanks again.

Has anyone found a solution for Noozoxide failures? I re-flashed 5.0.3 and made sure that only Xloud was selected and as soon as I finished rebooted I received the pop-up notification that ,noozoxide has stopped.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blion:
Just finished clean flash to 5.0.3 with _that OC kernel and general performance is very smooth, much better than v4.7. Unfortunately I had problems using gpart and so could not partition my micro sd card, for some reason i kept hanging. But still the performance is great even without data2sd. Thanks sbdags!

Hi,

sorry if this has already been discussed...

In last 2 version I have problems with watching movies/tv shows on my CROMI-X.

I use BS Player to watch videos from my network share and videos stutter very much - it is not watchable.

Before latest releases it worked perfectly fine.

Any tips? Ideas?

thx!
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
I have the same problem. In order to stream or download/upload on my lan I have to toggle wifi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
What do you mean by that? Didn't catch the meaning.

He means turning the wifi off and back on again solves his problem. Try that. I've never streamed with BS player. Good luck.

There is an app called Noozxocide which I ran but none of the settings changed my volume at all. In the OP they mentioned XLoud and ClearAudio as being the source of the volume increase but I can find neither an XLoud or ClearAudio app.

I've been wondering the same thing. Perhaps it is enabled by default? In the Cromi Control app there is the option to set volume steps. I don't know what that does and searching through the tread details on. Maybe that is where the boost comes from. Or inside of the Noozxoide app there is the "noozxoide VE-Engine (volume enhancement engine)". That gives options for strength. That might be it also. Trial and error will have to be done to see what exactly the settings do.

Stock Browser

I've been using Cromi-X for a few days now and generally enjoying it. I've found one bug/issue that google hasn't been able to address. I love the stock browser and use it over chrome. (is there an addon which replicates the fast scroll bar?) However, the address bar is broken. When I try to search, it redirects to the google homepage instead of search results. Strangely, Yahoo and Bing both work. It's driving me insane. Any recommendations?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
May not be what you are looking to do, by try using DicePlayer - of all of the video players available for Android, it is the one that always seem to work the best of them all. I have recommended it to others who had issues with every other video player and it always seems to resolve their issues.

I haven't used it for some time, so I can't guarantee that it works for 5.0.2/5.0.3, but based on past experiences, I have a feeling that it will solve your issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Yeah, it started happening with 5.0, I think. Others had this issue on earlier versions. I noticed it when I started uploading my rootfs.img files (3 -5 gb) by ftp to my home server. When i first try my speed is 300-500 kb/s and after i toggle it I get about 3600 kb/s. I did a fresh install on 5.0.2 and it still happens. It is not a deal breaker by any means, just an inconvenience ....

Today 100% charged dock and tablet.

Connected tablet to dock and powered it off completely.

Then booted and switched to standby.

4 hrs use and now after 12 hrs tablet is at 93% and dock is at 70%.

So it proves that this way it doesn't drain.

So this is the only method to prevent the excessive drain of the dock.

Just like before.

This means draining completely doesn't help.

Sent from my Asus Infinity TF700 with Dock
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I disagree that it's the only way to prevent the drain. I do not have the drain issue at all - regardless of the sequence used...

Another user has also solved his drain issue, so again, it's not occurring for everyone. There must be some software/setup difference that is causing some users to experience the problem and others to not experience it.

Unfortunately, I think that you need to start with a fresh install and spend some time trying to figure out what is causing the drain - there is no easy way to figure it out.

New extreme tweaks for performance!

First, I have to say thanks to sbdags and hund for an amazing rom and kernel....:good: Second, also thanks to all other developers who put their time and efforts to help our tablets running better....;) Third, all of the tweaks are not from me. I found them on the internet so the credits will go to whoever create them... :)

If you like this ET, please click the Thank Button for both sbdags and visit this OP for hund here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143093..

This ET is very stable and fast for Cromi X V5.0.3 and hund V3.3.6. I have not tested on other roms or kernels... :)

The summary of improvement:

1. More response and smoothness

2. More 3D fps

3. Better memory manage

4. Setting higher priority for the foreground apps so you can do other tasks while install apps from the app store

5. Reduce thermal throttle from 85C to 70C so you don't feel very warm while playing games

6. Reduce lags under heavy loads

7. No more waking up delay at least on my device

8. Better internet buffering

9. Try it and let me know

Installation and setup:

1. Please back up your current system and your personal data on your external SD so you can restore it if you like

2. Delete all the CPU/GPU UV and OV in your init.d folder so they are not conflicted with my setting. You can find those files here: /system/ect/init.d/UV and OV files

3. Wipe dalvik and cache before installing and install from your recovery. Please don't wipe your dalvik and cache after installing this ET because you will remove some mounting options tweaks if you do so

4. Clean installation with Cromi X v5.0.3 only take about 2 minutes. However, if you are dirty installation, it may take a lot longer depending on how many apps you have on your data partition because hund has a system tuning feature on his kernel.. :)

5. If you have a problem with the ET version while installing, you can try the No-fsck version which is a no system check version

6. Done and enjoy.. ;)

Setting on three modes:

-Power saving mode: 1.4G CPU, 520M GPU. This mode is setting for games so you don't generate a lot of heat.

-Balance mode: 1.6G CPU, 600M GPU. This is your normal mode and you can do almost anything that you like. However, when you are playing games, it is a little warmer than the Power saving mode.

-Performance mode: 1.8G CPU, 650M GPU. This for web surfing and movie streaming on the internet and watching youtube. Don't play games on this mode. You can try if you want... :)

Those are the default setting that I have on my device and already optimized. You can change to whatever you like if you can make it better..

Please give me feedback what you guys think. If they are positive feedback, sbdags may integrate it on his rom on the next release..

Last but not least:

Power saving mode score: around 6000

Balance mode score: around 6800

Performance mode score: around 7500

Have fun... ;)

(1) Data2SD - I partitioned my micro sd card so that the first partition is 6gb FAT32 Primary, then the remainder is EXT4 Primary. I noticed that at the end there is still a 8mb space. Not sure if that is normal. Anyway I inserted the sd card and rebooted but it kept on loading at the cromi boot animation screen then automatically reboot. Is there something else I need to do after inserting the sd card? FYI i am on 5.0.3 with _thats OC kernel. For some reason I could not load gparted so i used the MiniTool Partition on Win 7.

(2) I still get random closes when using UC brower and throws me back to the home screen. I had it on v4.7 previously but with various other apps. This time I did a clean install then installed UC. Right before it closes the brower freezes and becomes slow/lags then closes and throws me to home screen. So far it only happens when i am browsing. Could it be B2R issue? Any advice on how I can diagnose the issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Unfortunately mnitool doesn't work. It can corrupt your card, permanently damaging it. Please use gparted, it is the only known way to make the card work with data2sd.

As for your other issue, I have no idea. You need to capture a logcat and publish it so we can see why it is crashing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
Drain isn't there when undocked!!

Docking it switched on and leaving it in standby starts the draining.

Look at the picture at the left here showing the drain (from 17:33 up to 19:23).

The other picture is taken after docking the tablet, power it down and boot it up completely when docked.

Then the drain is gone.

But this is told and proven already since months.

It is no app or whatsoever, but it is the combination of Asus base Rom and firmware that is probably causing it after the update to JB 4.2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
^^But then why don't I have this drain problem? And why are there others that don't have it? I'm not doubting that you are seeing the drain under those circumstances. However, I believe that the root cause is something else - otherwise we would *all* have the drain under those circumstances. Another user who had the same symptoms found what was causing his issue (Hangouts app) for him. It's quite possible that there are multiple different root causes as well - certain apps or combination of apps and/or settings that cause the problem to happen under the circumstances that you've pointed out.

Keep an open mind - things are not always as they seem! :) I've been doing Unix administration work for over 20 years and I've found that you can't rule *anything* out when diagnosing these types of problems. Even though everything points to X being the problem, sometimes you find that it wasn't really anything to do with X, but that Y was the actual culprit!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MicAlter:
Seems to be related to the hardware revision of the dock (Y) (read here) and so there are imho two possible solutions:

- Exchange dock via RMA

- Dock, shutdown and restart to prevent battery drain in docked mode (X)

So, you're quite right: Y seems to be the culprit but X is a good work-around ;).

EDIT:

Should have read all the comments before posting. It's related to an older version of the pad/dock. But different hardware versions/dock firmwares could also affect the drain problem.

BTW: Does anybody else thinks that the "battery-drain-when-docked-without-restart"-problem should be discussed outside of the CROMi-X thread(s)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] blion:
Darn need to get gparted working tonight then. Will look into running logcat and then upload it for you guys to take a look. Cheers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
Again, did you try the method I described in post 1014?

I have to agree with jtrosky, I was sure it was a ROM or dock issue, but ever since doing the debugging I described on that post, my battery drain is gomne forever, regardless of docking/undocking. Keep an open mind.
