Did you experienced the other issue about the stock browser I described few posts back?

:o

I also noticed that the rendering of loaded picture (in stock browser) doesn't work as expected. If a page contains a picture bigger than the current viewport, it's rendered partially, even if i scroll down. I have to reload it to fix that.

Hi guys,

I have a question. I had V5.1 installed with hunds kernal and hunds app. I have just upgraded to v5.1.2 but this time installed _thats OC V5 kernal. Does _that have an app like hunds or do I have to download something from the play store?

Thanks heaps!

hey all,

i am on v5.1 and want to upgrade to v5.1.2. looking for advise on the best way to do this. or do i have to wipe all my data and start fresh?

did you flash chainfire's su binary?

SSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tazzz013:
yes, then reboot, stuck at asus logo. if i was already rooted, why would it act as if i was not after flash?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gosa:
Yeah.. I know there are some users who managed to get sound with other kernels than stock, but we are also a couple of users who didn't. I hope this latest update will fix that (still downloading, so I'll guess I'll know in a bit)

In the meanwhile - would you mind sharing some more info on your setup (in case I have to go about and do some testing again)?

Are you running WWE or US?

What audio manager are you choosing in Aroma?

etc. etc. (se my quoted post below - maybe the difference between your choices and mine is what makes the difference?)

Thanks in advance,

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
If you can restore a backup it might not be corruption. It sounds like the file you are flashing is corrupt to me. The sure sign is that TWRP is asking you install SU as it can't find root.

Download it again and try flashing it again.

Rom2SD?

Did anyone tried Rom2SD yet?

I have 2 partition on my External SDcard 1) Fat32 2) Ext4

Now when I installed CROMi-X 5.1.2 with Rom2SD, it can't boot anything.

Are there some specific instructions to be followed to get Rom2Sd working?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yes you need 2 EXT4 partitions as explained in the instructions.

In this order Fat 32 (2 - 16GB), Large EXT4 (4 - 48GB), Small EXT4 (1GB)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pvsgh:
Edit: Still not working, The installation was fast and went fine without any errors. How does it know that it needs to boot from MicroSD?

Below is my partition configuration, I have 64GB SDXC card.

1) Fat32 2) Ext4 3) Ext4

I am using _that's V4 kernel during installation.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pvsgh:
Giving Rom2SD another try, following these instructions from TF700 thread:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
It should work fine - I have tried it out at least 10 times. If it isn't talk me through the steps you are taking.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pvsgh:
It seems to be working following the steps mentioned for TF700

I have to first install a ROM to Internal Memory(Rom2SD Compatibility mode), boot it up. Let it run for few minutes.

Reboot to recovery, and then install the ROM again with Rom2SD option.

So basically now I will have 2 ROMS installed on my TAB, 1 normal installation and another on MicroSD.

I am seeing some random reboots on the ROM installed on MicroSD, but I have to wait for a while and see if it gets stabilized.

Thanks for this wonderful ROM.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
How did you partition your sd card with gparted? See if you can run e2fsk on the partition whilst in twrp:

e2fsck -fvyD /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pvsgh:
I'm using Minitool Partition Wizard on Windows, it always works for me.

I can execute that command successfully, it outputs summary information about the files on MicroSD ext4 partition and there is no error.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] _that:
Most people who used Minitool for Data2SD had problems, but nobody investigated why so far.

Can you please post the output of

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1

?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pvsgh:
Please see the output of fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1 command.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pyraxiate:
This is exactly why I posted checking the md5 of your download is CRUCIAL. So many people skip this step yet is one of the most important ones lol. A bad download can still flash and work, but also will give you all sorts of hell after the flash. It is easy and takes only seconds to compare the md5 against Sbdags md5 in the OP.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] omidz:
This ROM is so good that ever since i flashed it some 10 months ago i never came back to XDA to check new ROM development. Made my tablet awesome.

Just wanted to thank the developers. You are the best!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Also I sign all my files which means that if you turn signature verification on in TWRP it will do a file check for you and will stop if the signature doesn't match. I recommend everyone turn it on by default ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] _that:
Thanks. Your partitions are not aligned to flash memory blocks at all; this can cause performance and stability problems depending on the microSD card.

On a properly partitioned card, all "Start" sector numbers are multiples of 2048 (= 1 MiB alignment) or even 8192 (= 4 MiB alignment, the default on many cards).
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] holden72:
Dear mr sdbags, thanks for this wonderful ROM.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] hardslog:
He is referring to the GRIMLOCK ROM, and not the GRIMLOCK kernel. The kernel doesn't have 3g support yet. The rom itself is actually based off of TF300TG stock rom and has the TF300TG kernel in it. He is referring to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290952

Have you tried all the TF300TG kernels that are packaged into this rom? If you have issues with 3G connectivity in CROMI you need to at the very least send some logs when you are trying to connect to 3g. Logcats are essential. Also indicate what combinations you chose when trying to install CROMI. There are a boat load of options and all bases will need to be covered to fix the 3g. As there are no developers who own a TF300TG, every piece of information that devs can get will be essential in making it work again.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pvsgh:
Thanks for all your help '_that' to get the issue fixed with my setup :good:

Here is some more information:

I am not sure if the output of fdisk command list the Sector information in required format, but below are the screenshots from Minitool Partition Wizard. And all the partitions Start Sector is a multiple of 2048.

I am going to install Ubuntu on a VM today, and try to use GParted from there to partition the SDCard. Will see if that makes a difference.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
The issue is windows doesn't really understand ext2, 3 or 4 partitions and mini-tool tries to force it to. I don't think the low level drivers are capable. There are reports of people killing cards after using mini tool.

You can download the Gparted live iso image and install it to a usb stick and boot from that.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] _that:
It was not, but I was too stupid/blind/tired to notice that it said "Unit: cylinders" in the output. What I said is true for unit=sectors, which you get with "fdisk -lu /dev/block/mmcblk1".

OK, that means your card's partitions are properly aligned to full MiB boundaries.

If you still experience instability, that may be either because there are simply some combinations of devices and cards that don't play well together, or because your microSD card is bad.

In many cases it seems that such cards are optimized for media storage and work fine as such, but as soon as you use them as system disk for an operating system (with more stressful access patterns) they fail with strange errors. I hate SD cards because there are so many that are unreliable, and you don't get enough info about their performance characteristics.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Low level drivers see a block device - that works fine, even on Windows. :)

The partition table looks OK also, but maybe the ext4 filesystem created by Minitool is not 100% correct as expected by Linux. But as we found out recently, even the make_ext4fs from Android creates a filesystem that fails e2fsck.

If the card cannot be recovered by partitioning and formatting with GParted, it's a hardware fault - unlikely to be caused by Minitool. I had an old card reader that fried SD cards (very bitter to find out while trying to copy the photos from the overseas trip...). Did I say I hate SD cards?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] holden72:
Thank you very much, I did not understand.

Now I will try Grimlock ROM.

Yes, I had tried all Cromi kernel and in all cases Settings went to forced closure when I choose Data network.

Thank you again Sir, I hope I can reciprocate.

First and foremost - DO NOT USE MINI TOOL!

Formatting a micro sd card for ROM2SD

We will be using a GParted Live boot USB and a FAST good quality micro sd like a Sandisk or Samsung Class 10 - SDHC/SDXC UHS-1 card with read speed of at least 20MB/S. If you have a cheap chinese eBay card don't bother - they are not good enough.

You will also need a USB Stick with at least 1GB size. Note this process formats the USB disk so don't keep any important files on it. It will also wipe your micro sd so make sure you are prepared.

1.	Go to the link below and download the GParted Live CD/USB/HD/PXE Bootable Image and save it somewhere you remember

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php

2.	Download Linux Live USB Creator and install it

http://www.linuxliveusb.com/

3.	Fire up LiLi USB Creator:

a.	Choose your USB key - I,e, the drive letter for your USB (not sd card)

b.	Choose your GParted iso image for the source

c.	Choose the check box to Format Key in FAT32 and hide files

d.	Click the lightning bolt to create

4.	Now you have a bootable disk you need to boot from it. You may need to alter you BIOS Settings on your PC to boot from a USB Stick but mine did it without messing.

5.	Insert your micro SD card into an SD Card adapter and insert into PC

6.	Boot into GParted ;)

7.	Choose Gparted Live <Enter>

8.	Don’t touch keymap <Enter>

9.	Languge <Enter>

10.	Start Gparted Automatically

11.	Change device to your micro sd )it will default to you hard disk - hda– mine is /dev/sdc

12.	Delete all existing partitions

For a 64GB card: (resize as needed but /system doesn't need to be bigger than 1GB)

13.	Create new, always select primary: do this 3 times.

14.	FAT 32 : Size 16GB – this will be /dev/sdc1 in gparted and will be your sdcard for storage in Android

15.	EXT4 : Size 42GB – this will be /dev/sdc2 in gparted and will be your /data partition in Android

16.	EXT4 : Size 1GB – this will be /dev/sdc3 in gparted and will be your /system partition in Android

Apply, wait until it finishes and then reboot. Remember to remove the usb stick ;)

Exactly my thoughts! :)

Quick question, what are the benefits of installing the rom to the external sd?improving internal sdd lifetime? (thats what this new rom2sd is all about right?)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Less lag as io times are vastly improved, better security as you can turn fsync back on so less risk of corruption. Nothing to do with saving the internal SD.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] makcrellon:
Hey sbbags - Just wanted to let you know I flashed my stock TF300TL device with the previous iteration of your ROM.

You can't imagine how happy I was to be able to use the tablet without major lag, it was just a joy to use.

At present its working on both WIFI and 3G just fine. If I disable WIFI and enable 3G, there's no problems in switching over, so 100% satisfied.

Having read the comments since your latest release I can see there could be some mobile binaries missing from the ROM, so I won't upgrade for now... but then again at present don't feel the need to.

Beers and a pizza on me - 6XD3250903272540R.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pvsgh:
Finally I got it working by using the Gparted to created partitions on my SDCard.

This time I saw a difference during the installation, after the initial install of Rom2SD compatibility you have to remove the SDCard otherwise it will be stuck on bootlogo. Once the initial ROM boots properly, you can reboot into recovery mode and install the 2nd ROM on your SDCard by using ROM2SD option.

Just flashed the deodexed version of 5.1.2 on my ME301T and I'm sorry to say that neither Hunds nor _That's kernels give me working audio.

Fair enough - I applied this version on top of 5.1.1 after "only" wiping cache and dalvik. As Audio Manager I selected DSP Manager.

What else... oh, the checklist:

1. TWRP 2.5.0.0

2. Wiped Cache & Dalvik

3. No Fastboot Wipe all partitions

4. bootloader

5. md5 ok, signature verification on

6. Kept more or less all default options. Tried "stock" audio manager & DSP Manager (so far) fsync off

7. no restores as I didn't wipe more than cache & dalvik

8. No logcat. Do I need one? How?

A couple of interesting observations:

Going to Settings -> About Tablet and clicking "Status" settings close down with the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" - Does anyone else get this as well?

When having DSP Manager installed the stock Audio manager is still left behind from my earlier installation. Opening Settings -> Sound, and applying DSP Mananger I get a message saying that "Audio manager has stopped".

So... although I realize that some people can run the overclock kernels without sound problems we're still a couple of owners who can't.

Is there anything I can do from my end to provide more info/help out?

Do I need to go for a full wipe and try again, or can this one be figured out anyway?

Thanks,

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Lol! Grubby looking pictures though and well old version of CROMi-X ;)

Hmm - can you back up and try a clean install for me please.

BTW loads of people are complaining about settings / status not working - I removed some apps that break this - but why is everyone hung up on it. I have never even used it. I can add the apps back in but you will lose ram which will start to slow things down again......

I never thought so many people rely on this status part - what are you checking?

BTW I'm going to make a patch for the TG/TL users tonight hopefully to try and get them working again.

Many thanks for the donation mate! That is very kind of you. Can you tell me the previous iteration that was working please so I can bring those files over please.

Please flash the relevant one for your ROM. (This installer is not ROM2SD compatible so you'll need to use the mount2sd zip first for it to recognise the SD as your system)

lag when new applications is downloaded from play store

Hi,

i have a deodex version of the rom version 5.1.1 and i have noticed big lag when applications are up to date from the play store.

exemple : when i play or when i just browse menu or on web browser or any applications, if applications are up to date from the play store the device will be unworking with big lag.

Have you noticed that? How can i resolved this problem?

Thank's a lot
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yes this is a problem on all Asus Hardware. You are experiencing the slow IO.

You have a couple of choices:

1. Update to 5.1.2 and turn off fsync when you install it. This will help a bit but large updates will still slow you down somewhat

2. Setup your sd card for data2sd and it will improve things greatly for this type of behaviour

3. Setup your sdcard for ROM2SD and you will experience a much smoother rom in most places

4. Live with it as it only really happens every once in a while when you have to upgrade an app
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gosa:
OK... 5 wipes and as many combinations of installs later:

Hunds OC kernel with all three different audio managers

_That OC kernel with Stock & DSP Manager

All other options very close to the defaults - only difference is that I added a few apps to be installed.

- Same result every time - no sound.

Now I'm restoring my backup for "normal, non-overclocked use" tomorrow when commuting to/from work, but I guess I'm up for further testing tomorrow evening again.

One thing - I've been using the deodexed version every time so far. Is it worth trying the odexed version tomorrow?

OK ME301T users - try this patch for the sound please.
