Tempting but so hard to give up the battery life and responsiveness I'm getting on 3.3.7....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Neo3D:
Thanks sbdags, I'll try that. If it doesn't work then I'll just redo everything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need to modify file in the /system/boot/rootfs_data2sd folder. This file will get copied over your file every boot. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
I read that :) and was told that making the change inside an installable zip file would put the text in the right place. Sure enough, the fstab.cardhu file in /system/boot/rootfs_data2sd is correct.

How do I log what is happening during a boot that never gets past the boot animation? I think I have to try that next.

You would want to install the kernels appropriate for your device. Installing a TF300 kernel for a 700 is not recommended.

Did you read the post 4981 from my reply? Did you try it yet? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
I missed the fact that you changed the mount options! Since TRIM is not supported on my MicroSD card (according to f2fs-tools' mkfs.f2fs runtime information) I left off discard, and Voila! I have a booting system!

Thanks to all for the excellent support! How else can I say thank you? :)

But now I have the wifi not reaching Google (Hund's kernel) and I can't set the time zone. It worked fine without the DATA2SD option.... weird. Any ideas on how I can fix it?

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
There's a button labeled "THANKS" below each post. Use it. :)

It's a function of the storage medium, and the kernel needs to be told to use it. I wasn't aware though that trying to mount a partition with "discard" on a medium that doesn't support trim fails.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
New topic ... //smile

I have been considering encrypting my tablet (and phone) but I'm not certain how that would affect my ability to continue with a rooted device with the ability to flash freely. This posting on Slashdot implies that encryption doesn't affect the rooting and flashing.

(http://ask.slashdot.org/story/14/03...n-i-prepare-for-the-theft-of-my-android-phone)

Wouldn't encryption corrupt the bootloader and stop the ability to update the device?

thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
The mount does not fail. When I formatted the MicroSD card, a message came up saying that TRIM is not supported, which I think means that the media can execute a TRIM command. The documentation for the f2fs mount command "discard" states (I think) that a TRIM command will be issued after garbage collection. I will see if issuing "fstrim" actually does anything in this case.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
I read a while back that people were bricking their devices (not tf700) by running on f2fs but flashing non-f2fs compliant kernels. I figured f2fs would pick up steam here when all the issues like that were sorted out. LMK, did you run into any problems while running f2fs? And do you know if it works with the new CROMIBi-kk?

Re: F2FS

Tried using Data2Sd _thatv8 today with a newly formatted 32gb Sandisk Ultra. (1-8gb Fat32, 1-24gb Ext4 partition). (Sure am glad I've got a good Nandroid backup) I was able to get a session running, but without my TiBu or Nova backups. Downloaded quadrant and got a 6500+ but with only 64 of the 189 apps I started with. Can't seem to get those app/nova backups to show up.

Looked at the Ext Sd card with File Manager and didn't see the sdcard0, 1,i, or anything, so not sure what's happening.

Actually, I've never been sure rom2sd or data2sd has been taking, so I've pretty much stayed with internal. This was a new SD card to try and troubleshoot a possible bad 64gb Ultra which I've been trying to use for rom2sd.

I'm lost. Nova won't let me specify the SD card for backup. TiBu does, but then all changes with preinit... Been trying to figure out how to handle that.

Sorry for the rambling rant. Just plain frustrated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am a little lost and not sure what is your issue.. My data2sd using f2fs is for hund kernel..... I use hund ramdisk. If you use _that kernel, then you may want to use _that ramdisk instead of hund.. Let me know if you need help..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Data2SD

Guess I missed something. (eyes are going).

I thought the preinit now was doing all the swapping and utility installs. I have two problems:

Can't figure out if data2rom made the switch to SD card, and can't get backups for Nova and Tibu located properly.

Thanks for the hand holding. We'd really be lost without friends like you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What rom have you got on internal and which version on rom2sd?

In a terminal type

mount | grep mmc

It will list your partitions and you should see /data on mmcblk1p2 for rom2sd or data2sd and /system on mmcblk1p3 for rom2sd
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jdor:

Wrong thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that I know what is going on.. I will walk you through the process how to setup the data2sd so you will have a better understand for your future setup too..:) According to your partitions on your external sd, you are trying to run data2sd and you may not set it up properly. Therefore, your backup and restore do not work as an intention. I am away from my computer ATM. I will get back to you when I am home tonight..;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Re:SD

Ok, I see /data on mmcblk1p2. I had setup 5.4 internal with hunds ET and flashed same with data2sd, so I guess that means I've got the SD card involved. Still no luck with apps or nova backups. Quadrant was nothing to jump up about, 6150.=14039,3489,9833,660,2757. (close to what I was getting on internal.

So where do I have to place my TiBu and Nova backups to be seen by the boot?

I'll throw the rom2sd SD Card in next and try it.

Many thanks,

LMM
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Where do you have the backups on internal? /removable/sdcard? If so that is now /storage/sdcard1

Also you will need to disable journaling, sync off and enable art if you want to see 9000+ on quadrant.

[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am sorry for a late reply...:o I looked at post #5017 but I did not find any of your information but I saw post #5020 with some quadrant test score..:D Your I/O score is telling me that you turned of your fsync. If it is the case, it is still low for the fsync disable.. I have a few more questions to make sure that I understand what you really want to be done on your device.

1. You want to setup data2sd,correct?

2. Do you want to try f2fs or ext4 for your data2sd?

3. What kernel do you prefer to use on your data2sd, _that or hund?

4. I am very sure that you are running Cromi X on your internal sd right now. Are you thinking using Crombi-kk or stick with Cromi X?

I will explain with a better details and walk you through the process as soon as I have the answers back from you, thanks...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
You are very gracious to offer this, thank you.

1. I'd like to make sure I can get data2sd and rom2sd working. I'm pretty sure that the last data2sd took, even though I may have not set it up correctly. I got it to work making sure the kernals were the same. (thanks sbdags)

2. F2fs or ext4? I'm looking for recommendations and why?

3. Again, I'm open to your thoughts. I've had good experiences with both, and some bad, too. (probably my stupidity and inexperience.)

4. Correct on the X. I've got a one great backup (hunds ET, posting a smooth Quadrant 6000 or so, that I keep coming back to. Eventually I will probably pop for KK, but certainly not till the Nova/Tibu backup thing is figured out. I spent a good deal of the day trying to find the Nova and I'm still not happy. The file structures layout differences between the File Manager and ES File Manager are crazy. (I'm old school DOS)

I've got to believe that a WHOLE LOT of lurkers are going to say "AH-HAH" at this subject. Thanks again for any thoughts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
What's the Nova/TiBu backup issue?

The standard spot is a /TitaniumBackup folder in the main internal user storage.

The Nova Launcher files will be stuff starting with com.teslacoilsw.launcher
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
This is my opinions and personal preferences only. So please don't kill me haha...:D

1. It sounds like you have data2sd working so it is a good start.. For the data2sd, you have only one system and one kernel so you don't have to worry about matching your kernel with the internal sd unless you are running rom2sd.

2. I like the f2fs because it improves my random write speed quite a bit. You can check hund post with some test data from Pretoriano80. It feels smoother and fast with my user experiences. It also improves the quadrant score if it is matter to you..:laugh: You don't see much differences if you are running ext4 file system..

3. I have run both kernels also but I am using Hund more than _that because I believe that hund is faster in speed. I am a speed freak and you probably know that, haha....:laugh: Once again, it is just my personal preference..

4. I did not use ES file manager and NOVA backup so I can not help you with those apps. However, I use tibu but I set it to backup to my external sd. For your issues, I am very sure that you have those backups on your internal sd. For data2d, now you have two storage. One is your internal and other is your external sd. However, your internal sd is no long label as sdcard. It is labeled as sdcardi for internal sd and sdcard for your external sd. In order to find your backups, you need to go to your apps settings and search for the backup files on the "sdcardi" instead of "sdcard". I hope that it helps you out somehow....:) Please feel free to ask if you still have more questions...

BTW, if you would like to setup the f2fs for your data2sd, I will give you more information about it. You are more than half way there already. You just need to format your external sd with f2fs on the second partition. That is it and good luck...:fingers-crossed:

MicroSD troubles follow up

Just wanted to report back that I switched to a different microSD card and all of the earlier problems have gone away. Sadly it's not a fast card and only 23GB so I'm having to look at buying another microSD card. Does anyone have a SOLID recommendation on a good card. the Sandisk Ultra was disappointing.

Also, can someone give me a good explanation why TiBu and Nandroid skip the obb files, and certain directories on /sdcard such as all my kindle files, co pilot files, and other random data folders. Starting from a new card should not be so difficult.

cheers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] calvinb1:
Have you tried contacting Sandisk? My first Ultra 64 card stopped allowing me to save data. I contacted them and they sent me a free replacement. So far the new card has been rock solid. I run CROMI-X from it using ROM2SD with no issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
They offered to RMA it but it would leave me one card short at the moment. I'm in a part of the world where shipping things back and forth can take weeks. I just hate the idea that some cards are good and some are bad. Just wanted to know what's had the best success out there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] calvinb1:

I bought what I thought was a Sandisk card from a 3rd party vendor on Amazon for my camera. A few months later the plastic housing started coming apart. I called Sandisk for a replacement. After giving them the numbers off the card they informed me that I had a counterfeit card. Apparantly there are shysters out there that put Sandisk labels on junk SD cards. The company I bought mine from disappeared from Amazon. Just something to think about if you think you have a bad card.

Issues?

The main issue is what/where the backup files get moved to AFTER the ExtSd is switched by the preinit.

A secondary issue is that NovaBackup does nothing if ExtSD is selected as a target. It does nothing and no files are written to ExtSd. Internal files are ok.

I have backups on internal and a Tibu on Ext. I've also copied my Internal Nova to External.

Hi friends, my tablet is on 5.4 and it seems to have problem turning on after a long period of inactivity, like overnight. At first I thought it was a sleep of death issue (SOD), but when I look at the logcat, all the last entries were written right before I manually reset the tablet through the button combination. So, I would appreciate your help in clarifying whether my tablet is suffering from SOD or something else is keeping the tablet from turning the screen on (I pressed the power button and nothing showed up). Since I let the catlog app run overnight, I now have a 15 MB logcat, which I don't know which portion is useful for diagnosis. FWIW, I have attached the last_kmsg file in this post.

Please let me know what I should do with my huge logcat. Should I just send those entries flagged as Error by Catlog?

The best thing shown to really handle the dock drain is to un-install/Freeze or not install as an option the Google Now app. I used to get fully drained overnight and since I turned that off I can get 3-4 days without having to re-charge. Check it out.
