There is rootcloak for hiding root. The exchange hacks seem to be for asop roms only. Maybe a dual boot to a lightweight asop rom will work.

I'm having trouble identifying the installer-script. Could you pint me explicitly to it ? Although I'm ok on linux - the peculiarities of Android still confuse me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Here's the path: META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
init.rc is a data file, so it doesn't get permissions on its own. The init process runs as root because it needs to control the system. The sysinit service runs as root too, because there is no "user" line in its init.rc section that would switch to a different user.

Sure, I have my own mechanical keyboard in my office. :) But as soon as the company wants to limit which software runs on my tablet, it becomes "donate your own device to the company", and I wouldn't do that.

Anyway, there are always "workarounds" for those who need them. As long as the "malware" checks only for the presence of a root app, it's easy to move control to lower layers. That's what "secure boot" and locked bootloaders are designed to prevent, with them it gets harder to impossible to really own your own device.

Deep Sleep

Hello :cyclops:

So far I'm very happy with 5.3 :good:

But I'm still having random deep sleeps. This only happens when docked.

Again this morning, impossible to wake up the tablet. I firstly thought it was due to battery exhausted ... but after a forced reboot battery was at 20% :confused:

( BTW, battery drain seems to be gone )

Cheers

sbdags, _that, and berndblb -- (apologies for prior misspelling of your id's)

Success ! Have made the changes and everything seems fine - back to snappy performance and no root. Thanks to all.

For anyone interested here were the steps (with slight corrections to filenames).

1. Backup (of course)

2. Remove /system/app/Superuser.apk from the zip file

3. Remove /system/xbin/su from the zip file

4. Comment out the following lines from /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");

symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");

5. Flash as usual.

6. When flash is complete - Do not accept TWRP's kind offer to install root :)

Happy Camper

Hi Sb. I seem to have some issues picking a non standard keyboard. They install fine but I can't seem to initialize them. I get the check box, back arrow out and it becomes immediately unchecked. I've tried this with super and swift so far, I've already reflashed the rom once to fix the EST issue. I'm currently using Hunds with ET
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Did you do a clean install?

If I remember right this happens on a clean install with Hunds ET. Dirty flash the rom again and it should be fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Guys,

Is there an app I can install that records every activity on the tablet? Yesterday, I never touched my tablet and had 0% battery on the keyboard dock at night. Today, I never touched my tablet and (at night again) had over 65% battery on the dock. So inconsistent ... and I'd love to help figure out what is doing the draining on any given day.

Thank you.

Have a very similar experience with the various versions of the ROM for some time. Would be great to see it sorted.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Don't quote me but I think Android Tuner Free has the type of recorder you want. I do not know if it will run as long as you would like becausec I have never used tbat function. Give it a try and lets us know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Thank you ... installed it & set to always record, but only a few options are available in the free edition. If something in the paid version appears to be useful to our devs here, I'll just buy it and enable everything.

Unfortunately, I don't think that those tools have been able to identify the "mystery drain" issue that some folks have. I know that [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] is on to something in regards to this, but maybe the other tool mentioned above (Android Tuner) will help as well. I would purchase it and try it, but since I don't have the drain issue, it wouldn't help much...
[Asus Transformer TF700] tangur:
I searched the thread and hopefully haven't overlooked the answer.

I'm on 5.2.4 with Data2SD.

Flashed ROM, booted up, everything works fine.

As soon as I powerdown or run out of battery and reboot, tablet is stuck on boot logo.

I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache, it passes boot logo, android is updating, but then gets stuck on Android is starting.

Only solution was to do a clean install (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache), reflash and then I get past the boot logo and can use the tablet.

However, I ran out of battery, tablet shut down, recharged, tried booting and it gets stuck on boot logo again.

Didn't have the issue without Data2SD.

32GB Sandisk Class 10, Partition 1 FAT32 8 MB and Partition 2 EXT4 with the remaining 32GB.

Any help is highly appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Possibly a corrupted data partition, you need to provide a logcat over adb whilst it is stuck. Also please upgrade to 5.3a as 5.2.4 is no longer supported.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tangur:
Thanks for the uber quick reply, I'll reformat the card, install 5.3a and will get back to you if it hangs again.

Freeze Logs

OK back from the road.

Using Rom2SD and have tried both _that 7 and Hunds kernels with same effects (installing both on internal and external).

I was having random freezes all week on the road especially when on wifi. If I let the tablet sleep for more than 20 minutes or so it would not wake up and would take a couple of re-boots to get going. Internal rom has had no problems.

Log-1 is a freeze while awake and a little after I turned on wifi. No response and had to reboot.

After initiating the reboot, the tablet freezes during the boot logo animation and never completes. I pulled a log from that and it is attached as log-2. I'm ready to reformat the card as it shows signs of corruption but wanted to give you guys a look at the logs first.

Please let me know if you see something that needs fixing.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
As cool as those "multi-windowed" mods are, I really don't think that we'll see a reliable, well-performing version of something like that unless Google implements it themselves... They will never be much more than poorly performing "hacks" unless that functionality is integrated into the OS code itself.

That being said, I would *love* to see Google implement a true windowing system for Android (not just split screen, but actual "floating" windows). Obviously, when Android was written, it was written for phones and "windowing" wasn't useful, but now that it's running on large tablets, "windowed" applications are actually very useful. I use a handful of windowed applications daily on the TF700 (calculators, browsers, terminal emulator and a notepad) and they work *really* well, but obviously they are limited to specific apps written just for that function. It would be *awesome* to have the ability to run *any* app in a window on Android!

Hopefully, Google is working on something like that - that would definitely make Android that much better than it's rivals (mainly iOS). Of course, if Android did do it, I'm sure that Apple would quickly copy that functionality, just like it's been doing for every other Android feature lately...
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Okay so I got my KB selection issue fixed. I was working with a bunch of settings last night and nothing was sticking. Examples-

I'd pick a daydream and then pick to daydream now to test it, no daydream appears. Leaving that screen and going back still showed no daydream picked.

I'd pick a new notification tone (heaven to be exact as a test), leave the screen and come back. Still stuck on "unknown ringtone".

I'd pick a new keyboard and set it as a default. I'd come back and it was still on the default keyboard and no changes.

ASUS weather would fail to fresh when asked.

A simple reboot fixed everything. It now accepts my changes including the default keyboard. It even actually HAD the changes I had picked before the reboot like heaven as the default ringtone. Kinda weird.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Olatho:
Re "no root".

I guess rom2sd could be handy here. You could easily boot a "no root" rom from one SD-card, and a rooted from another (or from the internal memory).

Would be a nice setup.

I downloaded this pjc's mod from two different mirrors and the zip fails twrp zip verification. I tried to install from internal and external. I have never had this happen to the CROMi-X files and the twrp version is 2.5

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
They will work but some files will revert you back to previous versions. So framework and some other changes will be lost but they *should* still work. As always please take a backup first just in case.

If I can be arsed I may have look at updating them to the latest version but it may require more time than I have available right now as I'm not great at theming :) I don't have the patience.

Curiosity question. The OP header says Cromi-x is version 5.3a but the actual download is 5.3. I see the 5.3a patch at the bottom, just wondering if you are going to build in the patch to the 5.3 Rom or just incorporate it in 5.4? Thanks

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
So 5.4 will come out eventually but yes for now you flash 5.3 and then the small patch to take you to 5.3a. No point in releasing a full 500MB Rom for a 10MB update ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Thanks for the confirmation. It may be it doesn't play well with rom2sd due to roll back of app and framework versions but I would have expected the issue to exist on internal as well tbh.

Do I have to reboot after flashing 5.3 and then go back into TWRP and then flash 5.3a or can I do both in the same flash? Also, I have been using odexed for a long time now, if I switch to deodexed will I have to change anything else?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

Does any of you notice this:

Using the jack to listen though external speaker or headset, when watching a movie or listening MP3 stored on the micro SD card, I can hear some glitches that seems to correspond to read access to the micro SD card.

This happening using latest 5.3a, don't know if previous release where concerned.

I'm having an unusual problem with the dock charging the tab. It works normally but when I am running a game (Clash of Clans) the charging from the dock turns off. It's almost as if the service controlling this is closed or something. When I exit the game, I have to re-dock but then the charging resumes. It use to not do this, so I'm thinking it's a bug in 5.3. I'm running 5.3a right now. The charging doesn't shut down immediantely, but does happen within a few minutes of playing the game.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I've noticed that my last_kmsg file is also "empty" after I had an SOD (and one time the TF700 actually just powered off while using it!). I seem to remember that that the "logging" was disabled at one point for performance? Maybe that was just with a particular kernel though...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Only on ET but I don't think it is actually disabled as logcats are still available.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Kernel logging is separate from logcat.

The kernel loglevel can be set by writing a number between 1 to 7 into /proc/sys/kernel/printk:

#define KERN_EMERG "<0>" /* system is unusable*/
#define KERN_ALERT "<1>" /* action must be taken immediately*/
#define KERN_CRIT "<2>" /* critical conditions*/
#define KERN_ERR "<3>" /* error conditions*/
#define KERN_WARNING "<4>" /* warning conditions*/
#define KERN_NOTICE "<5>" /* normal but significant condition*/
#define KERN_INFO "<6>" /* informational*/
#define KERN_DEBUG "<7>" /* debug-level messages*/

When reading this file, 4 numbers are displayed; the important one for last_kmesg is the first one (AFAIK):

root@android:/ # cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
7	4	1	7

My kernel starts up with a lower loglevel than default (3 instead of 7) to avoid spamming the preinit console with loads of messages which slow down the boot process. My init binary should reset the loglevel to 7 after the preinit script has been run. I just tested it again, it works as expected. However before this test, my printk loglevel was set lower than 7 and I don't know why - after more than 2 weeks without rebooting I don't remember if I changed it myself or not. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I just checked and mine is at 3 also (_that v7 kernel). Wonder if that is why the last_kmesg file is just about empty?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, I think that's the reason. However I don't know what sets it to 3, because I rebooted just before and it is now still at 7.
