[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] So I've been following you for about 2 years with my TF700T and updating all the time with new CROMi-x. Was getting annoyed as it seems laggier than I'd like, etc. Somehow finally saw your signature with CROMBi-kk and TF700T and I was like huh?? So, read up, flashed it on my tablet, and WOW. So amazed. It feels much snappier, responsive, etc. I love this tablet again. Also, I was seriously entertaining buying a new one like a Galaxy Tab or Nexus but you've delayed that purchase now for who knows how much longer. Thanks so much for all you do, and continuing to pray for your wife/family. I'll unsubscribe to this thread and pick you up on CROMBi-KK!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thanks for the kind words :D CROMi-X 7 seems to have confused a few users as well ;) It won't work in the TF700 - sorry guys :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I have been using the ROM for a while now (everything default, no other mods, I think Browser2RAM is enabled though). It was very snappy at first but after a while (as all Android devices I have used), the tablet slows down significantly. I would not care much about lag as I use the tablet mainly to watch videos and browse the web. The most annoying thing is that the stock browser is now practically unusable, which force stops regularly (just like when I was on stock ROM). Is there anything that I could do to fix the browser? I don't want to factory reset my tablet and I don't want to move to Kitkat because flash is broken.

Thanks for your help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can either try installing and running lagfix from the playstore and or booting to recovery and wiping cache.

Or backup a nandroid and you whole internal sd card, do a full wipe (format data), restore backups and all will be speedy again.

It's a problem with the data partition needing to be trimmed. Are you writing a lot of data to the internal memory?
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I put all of my movies in the internal storage actually, hence my tablet has around 6 GB of free space, which undoubtedly slows down the internal storage even more. I will try your suggestions for now until I have enough time to upgrade to kitkat eventually. Thanks for your help and all the awesome work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It depends how much data you rewrite regularly. You should run fstrim (aka lagfix) approximately each time after you've (re)written the amount of data to your storage that equals the size of your free space. So with less free space and higher amount of deleted and rewritten data, you have to run it more often.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]

Hey Sb. I'd been running 5.3 for awhile and last week, it locked up on me. When I rebooted, I wound up stuck in a boot loop. So I cleared the caches-still a boot loop. So I eventually wound up formatting system and the caches and took the tab up to 5.4 For some reason now, it seems a little laggy almost like when you're trying to do stuff while the play store is installing software. I'm using the hunds extreme tweaks kernal and it seems to be set at 1800 max and like 51 min.

Since I'm not heavily invested in the current setup because it's pretty much back from scratch (I did restore some apps via TiBu but not system stuff), would you recommend taking the opportunity to go up to KK Crombi or Zombi? Do any of them still have the bug where no system changes work until you dirty flash the rom again ? (IE-the time zone change bug, etc)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm not aware of that bug on either no - it was something with hunds or ET on CROMi-X. I haven't used CROMi-X on this tab for over a month now ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
So which of the 2 other versions would you recommend trying? Would I have to do anything to my twrp or bootloader to come up to KK roms? Do they have any known issues that the JB roms don't?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You should upgrade TWRP to version 2.7.1.1 and a full /data wipe is a must.

CROMBi-kk is less buggy ;) ZOMBi-X is smoother.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Aughhh decisions! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If you just want to try a new ROM, that's why ROM2SD was invented. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
The man, the myth, the kernel master who's very name confuses all. That's a level of complexity I'd likely avoid. I think I'll try zombi and flash it over the weekend. I figure now is the best time to try something new since I haven't fully set the rom back up the way I normally have it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Thanks for the great ROM.

I'd like the manual brightness adjusting bar can go as low as 0.

10 is too bright to me in a complete dark environment.

Currently I'm using _that's script to manually adjust the brightness to below 10:

echo 3 > /sys/devices/platform/pwm-backlight/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness

but it's inconvenient, thanks for helping.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK go here:

\system\etc\config\brightness

and amend the file below in a good text editor like esfileexplorer note editor

brightness_config_04.xml

You need to lower the lower limits and values as shown below. I already lowered them but you can do it further if you want.

<brightnessconfig>

[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Thank you for your quick response sbdags.

So I just need to change the value of below? Is there any rules or connection between other values which need to be changed as well?

I got error message when I tried to save it using esfileexplorer note editor.

<item name="manual_backlight_SuperIpsOff_Min">5</item>
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What was the error message - but yes try knocking that value down to 1 or 2 to see what it does.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Error:

Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved.

Su granted to es file manager.

Is that because of the file permission? How do I grand proper permission to the es file note editor?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
On my tablet, any value below 3 turns off the backlight completely, which makes it hard to hit the brightness control to turn up the brightness again. :)

To edit files on /system you need to remount /system writable. Either by "adb remount", or in adb shell or via a terminal app:

mount -o remount,rw /system
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Easy! Click where it says root explorer (not the toggle) in tools and then set / and /system as rw ;) Now you can save it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Thanks. Successfully got the value changed to 1, rebooted. The manual lowest brightness had no change. If I run the script as below, it'll still make the screen darker.

echo 3 > /sys/devices/platform/pwm-backlight/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness

On my tablet value 1 turns off the backlight completely. value 2 and above still visible.

Yes, that sounds familiar... :)

See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42248837&postcount=18
[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
So, for the manual adjusting bar, the lowest value is 10?

We have to run the script to work with the kernel to make it below 10?

But, it's inconvenient. I have to re-run the script even if the pad wakes up from sleep.

Is there a way to run the script with just one click?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I'm sure there is a way to run a script with a single click.

In other news, I decompiled the system ui and framework to see what's going on here and informed sbdags where to find and/or change the hardcoded limit of 10. If you (or someone else) want to patch framework-res.apk yourself: look in res/values/integers.xml for "screenBrightnessSettingMinimum".
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't plan in doing any updates to cromi-x in the near future.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Would you give us an easier option to modify this value or apk to install?

Or is there a tutorial of decompile and recompile framework-res.apk?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Do we just need to decompile the framework-res.apk, modify the xml, recompile the apk and install the apk? Or, we need to repack the whole image and reflash the pad?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Could probably just reboot to recovery, mount system, and "adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework" from PC.

Or... if the file is already on the device use "dd if=/xfilexpathxhere/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk" from the recovery command line.

Or... If you "mount -o remount,rw /system" and do it while your're booted into Android it'll probably reboot but keep the change.

Just move the file ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Great, Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Used adb to push the modified framework-res.apk, the pad now stucked at ASUS logo booing.Had to push unmodified apk back.

framework-res.apk is smaller after decompile and compile with apktool: 9.59MB vs 14.2MB.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Found out that after decompile and recompile, I need to drag META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the original apk to the newly compile apk.

Now everything working fine. The lowest brightness can go below 10 with manual adjusting bar.

Thank you all for helping.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Yes. Beat me to it. Was just replying and your edit was in reply box. ;)

You were right, 3 is the lowest I can go. 2 was still visible at first, but after waking up from sleep, it's completely dark.

Help reviewing Logcat to Determine Battery Drain

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to determine the cause of poor battery life that recently started last week. Up until now, CROMi-X 5.4 has been working well for me on the stock _that kernal. Here's what I've tried:

1) Uninstalled apps I no longer use

2) Installed wakelock detector, but did not see anything abnormal

3) Disabled tasker and automateit in case a bad profile was running

None of this has helped me determine the cause. After some research, Logcat appears to be frequently recommended. This is my first time reviewing it and, honestly, I'm having trouble interpreting the output. I'm not sure what's normal vs abnormal but see several rferences to AlarmManager, an called TabletTalk that i run, and several bluetooth problems.

Could someone help me review this?

PasteBin: http://pastebin.com/wSRBKw7X

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Matt
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Your Tablet Talk app has a lot going on there. Lots of attempting to open a Bluetooth socket, failing, being garbage collected, throwing finalizer errors, repeat. I would uninstall that for a while and see how things go. A large majority of the activity in that log looked to be caused by the app. If battery life still seems sketchy then it will be easier to see what's going on in the log without it as well.

sorry, a little confused...

looking to get the exact resolution i should be using for wallpapers.

i suspect that it has changed from stock now that i'm running this rom, as well have chosen to use small dpi?

also, isn't the resolution for the infinity higher than the prime? which would mean wallpapers and pics meant for the prime would not be as clear on the infinity- correct?

does dpi affect the screen resolution?

I'm considering selling my TF700 and want to do so with a stock-ish ROM. Wasn't sure if I had to reformat data or not.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It does. But you should point ou to the next owner if you leave it f2fs. Who knows what he/she will flash and f2fs is still considered to be experimental I believe.

I would reformat /data to ext4 - you need to format it to erase all your data anyway, right?

also, running v 5.4 (is this the latest release?

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Flickering screen,, use differennt kernel and adjust your UV up or down. It does help in my testing.

Increasing your GPU/CPU OC should help and especially the GPU, Fsync off, different scheduler, and hardware GPU rendering to share the loads with the CPU.

I don't see any reason that sbdags is going upgrade the Cromi X unless Asus is going to release the new ROM but I doubt that it is going to happen..

Good lucks...

My 700 is running Cromi 5.4...

Could someone please tell me the difference between Cromi, Crombi, and Zombi?

They are all for the 700, but is one better than the others?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Cromi-X: Optimized Rom based on Asus Stock

Crombi-KK: Cyanogenmod ROM based on Android KitKat

Zombi-X: Omni-based ROM running KitKat

They all have pros and cons. Cromi-X "works" as Asus intended, and is closest to out of the box features. Crombi is faster IMO, and gives you the KitKat experience. It's pretty mature as well (out of beta). Zombi, while beta, is the fastest in my experience and is the one I would recommend, but you will be giving up the Asus look you have become familar with.

If you are looking for "connect as USB storage device" that's been gone from Android since..... can't remember...JB 4.2?

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Earlier. Since the internal /sdcard is emulated, so it can't be accessed directly as a filesystem by the host. I think that started with Honeycomb (3.0) or so...

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not sure why it is not there. It's there on mine (and I added it)

I can only think that you are using some xposed module or other mod that has changed the settings.apk as that is where it comes from.
[Asus Transformer TF700] IT_Scooter:
I've never used any xposed module, never installed any mod - that to my knowledge - may change settings. I installed your miniCROMi-X 2.0, and the "Launchers" item was there on the left in settings... might try re-installing and see if it's there.

moving to Data2SD and F2FS

Dear all,

I've been running this ROM for a while, but I was thinking of trying a couple of things to improve it. My idea was to start using both Data2SD and F2FS. Is it possible to convert a current installation to this setting (i.e., move the current data partition to a new one in the SD formatted with F2FS)?

I'm using that's 3.1.10-that10+ (but could upgrade, of course). I'd really like to avoid a fresh install... (Can one just make a backup of the data partition, say, using tar or dd, and move to a new F2FS partition on the SD?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best to all,

Luis
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Easiest would be to do it in recovery. But you need a recovery that supports f2fs file system conversions. So you should flash the latest TWRP version.

Once that is done, just make a nandroid of data only and move it to the fat32 partition of the card already set up for data2sd. If you formatted the second partition on the card to f2fs in Gparted, you now just have to restore the nandroid to the f2fs partiton on the card:

Boot to TWRP, flash data2sd.zip to orient TWRP to the external partition and run the restore.

If you did not format the card's data partition to f2fs in Gparted, TWRP can do it for you.

In that case you would

flash data2sd.zip

format data to f2fs in TWRP (root through the options - it's somewhere under the Wipe menu)

restore the nandroid

reboot

Edit: Make sure you have the nandroid exactly in the file path it was on your internal SD. Something like TWRP/Backup/yourTablet's_ID#/nandroid
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If you are comfortable with mounting partitions in adb shell, you can copy the files directly:

- boot to recovery

- unmount /data from the GUI

- run adb shell with roughly these commands to mount both internal and external /data and copy over all files:

THIS IS UNTESTED - RUN THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! If it doesn't work, tell me what needs to be fixed. :)

mkdir /datai
mkdir /datax
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /datai
mount -t f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /datax
cp -a /datai/* /datax

When it's finished, just reboot via the recovery GUI.
[Asus Transformer TF700] finotti:
Thank you very much! Seems simple enough! I will try it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Here is a zip of the that11 kernel with f2fs and rom2sd/data2sd suport for CROMi-x that I put togeather using preinit files from crombi-kk. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B004GMjezSRfWGN5dlY4QS05M00/edit?usp=docslist_api This will allow you to run CROMi-x on internal with f2fs and data2sd, or rom2sd.
