[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am currently using Hund 3.3.6 OC CPU at 1.8G on 4 cores and OC GPU at 650M, fsync disable as a daily basic for my performance mode. I am using this mode just for browsing internet, watching youtube, reading news, streaming movies, checking emails, and messaging. It is running very stable without a single reboot or crash.. ;) The average temperature is around 47C and max out around 51C. My score on an average is around 7500 and max around 7800 with this setup.. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I'll probably play around with safer values that won't get it quite so hot and yet will allow it to perform as I want it to.

With the latest Youtube 5.0.21 there is no way I can find to switch from HD to SD. There use to be a HD icon to the left of the progress bar that you could click but it is no longer there. I looked in settings but the only thing there is to change settings when on a moble network.

Also, my battery usage has gone way up, used 33% in 2 hours. I only flash what I normally do, _that's kernel, fsync disabled, I did choose the option for cache2sd. I use GSbattery to monitor my usage, I checked it to see which apps were using the battery but nothing unusual stood out
[Asus Transformer TF700] Neo3D:
Does using the "lower resolution" option in the install thing help with the lagginess issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes at the expense of sharpness. Obviously you can always revert back by reflashing if you wish.

Syncing Issue

I upgraded to 5.0.1 from 4.7. I'm having a problem with plugging the USB to the desktop. The tf700 is not responding. I don't see it in my Win8. The led charger is not lighting up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
On the video click it and hit the 3 dot menu in the top right of the video and HD will pop up in the middle if available. Most vids start in HD automatically these days.

Battery is the best it has been for me. Uninstall cache2sd as that will definitely have some impact as it is constantly making your sdcard as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I do not want HD because I have buffering issues. I tried you suggestion on one video and the only option that poped up is HQ, is that lower than HD?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
Did some more testing today, and Dolphin browser is noticable slower, laggy when scrolling and occasionaly I get application hang notifications for the first time since running stock ROM.

The stock browser is silky smooth, no issues with scrolling, loading or typing.

I did a restore of my Doplhin, might try to delete it and reinstall it again. Anyone else running Dolphin? The stock browser is okay, but I much prefer the way Dolphin handles booksmarks.

Running 5.0.1 ODEX with _That kernel, browser2ram.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Tested the new an tu tu . My past scores have all been around 15500 +- 200.

I just got a 16900.:thumbup:

Thankyou Sbdags.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't have buffering issues - what speed internet do you have?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you using that silly dolphin jetpack addon? If so uninstall it. Other wise I don't know what to add - all browsers are laggy compared to stock imo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
First of all, absolutely stellar work to you and your team. CROM-I just keeps getting better and better as time goes on. In regards to the browsers, I've been using chrome because it handles my school website correctly and it's been as smooth as it's ever been. It wasn't always that way but since 5.0.0 it runs just as good as the stock browser IMHO. I've never used dolphin on my tablet so I can't really comment on that one. Firefox has always run like crap for me.

At any rate, keep up the great work.

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I have 20Mbps d/l speed so that is enough. My wifi connection says good with a link speed of 65Mbps. But, I have always had this problem (buffering) though not as bad with this version of Youtube. First was with a Netgear WNR 2000 and now a Netgear WDNR 3700V4. This is why I try to use the lower resolution.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blickley:
What speed are you actually getting from the tablet? Can you run a SpeedTest to check the actual throughput? I used to have horrible experiences with YouTube buffering on this tablet and when that happened, my SpeedTest results would be horrible (most notably the ping response time). Resetting the wifi was the only solution at the time and I found that the wifi connection would drop in speed after a little while again. However, I recently found that disabling the "Wifi Optimization" settings in the Wifi settings resolved this 100%. Have you tried disabling that yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - is there is a pure stock that I can revert to to test a theory that I have?

I'm having issues with my Sandisk 64GB SDXC MicroSD Cards. Specifically, the dock will not recognize them other than showing a notification that it has been inserted. I have tried with 2 different MicroSD cards that work in the MicroSD slot in the tablet itself, but will not work in an adapter in the SD Card slot on the dock. However, a 32 GB SDHC MicroSD card works perfectly fine in either adapter in the dock.

I was reading up about it for the last couple of hours, and it seemed that there was a firmware issue that resolved it back about a year ago - and I had no problems using the card in the slot for my trip to Hawai'i in December to hold all of the pics and videos I took while there (~40 GB).

Windows recognizes the cards with no issues, whether using the adapter or straight (I have an AIO card reader installed in my computer). However, neither card mounts while in the dock.

Since I am experimenting with different aspects of your ROM, I can easily revert to pure stock and then go back to CROMi-X again at a later time - but I need to know how to do it without losing root.

I suppose I could just grab the latest firmware blob and not worry about being rooted since I have a non-stock recovery, and am unlocked, but....that would mean I would have to flash TWRP again if I wanted to change at a future time, right?

*sigh* I think I've answered my own question. Let me go flash stock and see if the dock recognizes my card or not. In fact, I'll flash a couple of stock versions and see if something in JB breaks it again....
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Seeing as the ROM is based on stock and I also supply the stock kernel, I can't really see how going back to stock will help. Especially as I haven't changed any drivers. But try it just in case.

It's more like to be the formatting of the cards. Make sure they are fat32 first and then try them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Snah001:
I have been busy with work and just manage to read back in the thread.

I must say I agree fully here with your point of view.

We had no problem with 3.4.4. So what changed after that?

Yes, firmware and Rom. I want to look further into that when I have more time the next 2 weeks.

Sent from my Asus Infinity TF700 with Dock
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
64GB SDXC - can't format it FAT32, only choices in Windows are NTFS and exFAT (default). I've read that I can use something like EaseUS to format is FAT32, but unless I am in *nix, I get limited to a 32GB partition.

Also, as I mentioned before, the cards themselves are perfectly fine, and worked previously in the dock. I'm going back to stock just to prove that it is a dock issue, perhaps because of the latest firmware that was installed under JB. I'm using the AIO guide from the main TF700 forums keeping my TWRP.

I don't think it is anything that you did, but I want to rule out every possibility - my 1 year mark is coming up next week, and if I need to send it in for a replacement / warranty service I need to do so in the next day or so, so I'm busting out all the stops in order to thoroughly check it and make sure that it is in fact the dock itself (or firmware on the dock) and then I can try it at Best Buy and make sure hte card works there and then finally send it off for repair.

Thought I report back on the wifi issue in v5.3 ET on rom2sd. Well i took the micro sd card out and rebooted. I was expecting it not to boot up as I had selected rom2sd during the install but it did boot up to the setup wizard. Anyway I connected the wifi and signed into google. Then shutdown and reinserted the micro sd card and rebooted. But still could not connect the wifi with internet connection. The wifi connects but it just says no internet connection.

But what i did notice was that with v5.3 ET on my internal storate the tab was very snappy, it felt about the same as v5.3 ET on rom2sd. So my question now is whether rom2sd provides any additional speed benefits. My gripe with this tab is that the i/o is soooo poor that doing a few things would normally make it grin to a halt......
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
One quick question, so you said that your wifi was working and you were able to sign in google play but the wifi did not work when you were in rom2sd? :confused:

---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

Did you check the md5 of your Cromi zip file to make sure it is a good download? Maybe it is time to pull logs to see why it is not booting...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Robbie_G:
Using twrp 2.6.1.0, I ran that and it said "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!"

I also just used / as the starting folder for the terminal command

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

I unmounted internal storage in twrp and then the command worked. Installed CROMi from the external SD, rebooted system, said no to super su, let it reboot, and same thing, stuck on black Asus screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
If I am not mistaken, when you reboot from TWRP and ask to install super su, your system is not mounting or you have no system or OS to boot with..:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
I can confirm that this issue happens more than it should. Around 50% of my CROMi-X installs result in this question then - ta-dah - stuck on ASUS boot logo. Sometimes I have to reflash 3 times to have Android properly flashed. I have fooled aroud with mounting system and wiping cache and dalvik, but I don't find any pattern that may or may not cause this issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Robbie_G:
So there is hope? Anything you suggest I try? Should I just try a different or older version rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I used to flash a lot of ROMs and kernels during the day, maybe 15 to 20 times a day for troubleshooting..:) One in a while, I ran into the problem that my system was not mounting for some reason even though it was there... Technically, your android is supposed to mount the OS when you boot but sometime, it decided not to mount just to frustrate the users like myself...:rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

Did you check that you have a good download? I just installed v5.3 without any issue but you can try the older version to see if it works out for you. Where are all the experts when we need them? Just kidding but Robbie_G really need suggestions...:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Robbie_G:
I checked the md5 after downloading to my computer. Maybe I'll try downloading the odex version and giving that a try later today
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Yes, Cromi v5.3 ODEX was the file that I installed 3 days ago and it went smooth with the first installation without any problem. Some experts here will have a solution for you and don't give it up yet. I have a confidence that you will get your device up and running as soon as someone knows what is going or issue...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Which kernel did you install?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Robbie_G:
I installed the ODEX version and it finally booted. Must have been an issue with the DEODEXed version or with the transfer of the file from the computer to the sd card (because the md5 checked out okay on the computer).

Thanks so much to everyone for your help!

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

I used the default option in the installer
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Congratulation!...:highfive: Now, you may want to go back to your TWRP to do a nandroid backup for your system, data, and boot just in case you need to restore it...;)

Enjoy and have fun with Cromi X,

LMK
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Always better to check the MD5 on the file that has been transferred to the SD card. I was just going to suggest this. If you have good MD5 on SD card ROM file and you format data in TWRP before flashing, you should get a good install 99% of the time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
I always check it from the terminal in android also.

From my LG-G2 DeBloated Stock 4.2.2
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Even better and more convenient is to enable signature verification in TWRP - then bad zips are automatically rejected.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just got in from work and so may posts! Glad you got it sorted - I can only think it was a bad download....

weather

For some reason, my tablet is unable to update current weather information. All other connectivity seems fine. Any thoughts? Running latest CROMi-X 5.3.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Robbie_G:
Weather widget did not work for me after first boot until I removed and re-added it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blion:
What happened was i installed v5.3 et on my micro sd card with rom2sd but wifi did not work. Then i was going to install v5.3 et on internal storage. So i shut down and remove the micro sd card. Then booted up the tab but forgot what to press to get into recovery and surprisingly the tab booted into the rom and i was shown the first time setup wizard screen. I was very surprised cos i thought i installed the rom onto rom2sd or does it also install it onto internal storage. However the i/o stutter is still bugging me. For example i was restoring via titanium backup amd browsing was almost impossible without stalling and lags....i presume rom2sd would solve this??
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is not surprising at all when you can boot into your internal because the rom2sd has the auto detect script in the boot folder under /system...:) If your external sd is format in certain ways that meet the requirements of the rom2sd. It will load the system in the external sd instead of the internal sd. If you remove the external sd, then it will load your internal sd. That is it...;)

Now back to your wifi issue, I read some where that you have to use the same kernel on both internal and external SDs in order for your rom2sd to work properly. I don't know if it is still correct.. I need someone to confirm that.

I have a few questions for you. First, do you know what kernel is install on your internal SD? Is it the same as the external kernel? Are you able to use your wifi when you are using your internal sd? I am sorry to ask to many questions but I just want to solve the wifi issue...:) I did not notice any lags or stall while updating apps or game with my internal SD. However, I have not tested the lags when restoring via titanium backup so it maybe different..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] blion:
A bit confused now. When i installed v5.3 et with rom2sd on microsd card does it also install v5.3 et on the internal storage? Or does it only install on the micro sd card and the rom that i am seeing when booting from the internal storage is actually my old rom (which i think was 5.0.3) anf which may be y the wifi is working?? I have a feeling its the latter. In that case, should i actually install v5.3 et onto the internal storage to test it out?

Thanks for trouble shooting. Let me know what else u need me to do! But will only be able to try tonite or over the weekend....
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
haha, it may be the issue...:) You may see the performance gain just install Cromi v5.3 and Hund v3.4.3 ET on your internal...

If I were you, this is what I am going to do.

1. Do a nandroid backup for your existing system, data, and boot from TWRP to your external SD

2. Backup all your personal stuff to your external SD

3. Format your data partition so you don't have any old files on your data partition

4. Install Cromi v5.3 with Hund v3.4.3 ET to test out

You should see smooth and good performance for this combo... Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] blion:
Got ur. Will try tonite. Btw how to format data partition?

Is there any performance benefit or other advantage to install v5.3 et on rom2sd as opposed to internal storage. I thought rom2sd was to avoid the poor i/o on the internal flash or does the et version overcome that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
If you have a faster external SD, you should see performance gain running rom2sd...;) Like I said in the previous post, you should have the same kernel on both internal and external SDs in order for it to work properly. I don't know if it is still true statement or not.. I need someone to confirm that..:)

Edit: Under Wipe, there is an advance Wipe button and a Format button. If you want to Format your data partition, you need to type Yes and return to format...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
For me the same version of CROMi-X installed to internal or as ROM2SD made a difference in benchmark scores only. In day to day use - nada. But that may depend on how and for what you use your tablet.

It's easy enough to test: Install the same rom with the same options both to external and internal.

Boot with the card inserted, test it.

Boot with the card out, test it.

Hint: It may help if you choose a different boot animation for external and internal. Gives you a visual clue what you are booting... ;)

Another hint: An easy way to "mirror" your internal rom, complete with settings, apps and data to the external is:

Set up internal installation with apps etc.

-Boot into TWRP, create a nandroid and have TWRP write it to the fat32 partition of your microSD (insert the card after you booted the internal rom). TWRP will see the fat32 partition as external microSD and the ext4 partitions not at all)

-Flash the rom2sd1 zip from _that's dual boot thread. That will reorient TWRP towards the partitions on the card.

- Restore the nandroid which will be restored to the ext4 partitions on the card.

Reboot (either) system ;)

Good idea!

Going back to TWRP 2.6.1.0 from 2.6.3.2?

Can I just flash the new (old) bootloader with TWRP 2.6.1.0.zip from the TWRP 2.6.3.2 recovery to downgrade TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you mean the package from the OP, yes that should be fine. Just don't do any wiping from 2.6.3.2
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
There is only one kernel, but compatible kernel modules (for WiFi, NTFS and exFAT) must be installed in both internal and external /system/lib/modules.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I tested thatv7 on internal and hunds ET on external and both installations behaved fine. I didn't expect the internal to though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the clarifications on this matter. I thought that I read something like that some where but I could not remember... :o It is a useful information for rom2sd users and helps users have a better understanding how things work....:good:

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

I tested those modules a while back. They are different modules or binaries but they are interchangeable between _that's v7 and Hund's v3.4.3....;) I hope that this information will help rom2sd users...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Since there is only one kernel partition and my dual-boot solution doesn't use kexec, then both installations were using the last kernel you flashed - pure luck if the modules were compatible, or Hundbuah ships them in the ramdisk or compiled into the kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
He provides them as separate modules the way you do which is why I didn't expect it to work as technically it had your modules with his kernel. Must have been a fluke! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Well, the proprietary binary modules from the stock ROM still work with our customized kernels, so it's not impossible that also the WiFi modules work on both Hundsbuah's and my kernel.

Enabling SELinux definitely breaks binary compatibility of kernel modules, as we found out with -that6. I also remember Hundsbuah said that changing the RCU implementation breaks the binary modules. I'm sure there are more ways to make modules incompatible, and eventually we may have to live without tntfs.ko and texfat.ko.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mordred69:
Hi all. First off I want to say THANKS for this ROM > This is the kind of ROM I like to install - Tweaked Stock. I don't like all my devices to look like Cyanogen Mod, have all the same features, or sport the Nova launcher.

This ROm is absolutely awesome. Moves fast and gave life to my TF700T - it was lagging so bad i didn't like to use it.

Only think i'd like to see on it is a MENU soft button somewhere in the task bar; for example, next to the Recent Apps.

You guys have created an amazing ROM. I love it.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The menu bar appears when needed. So if an app requires a menu, as most do, you'll see it.

;)

Is there something it is missing from?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
Gravitybox will let you "always show menu key." It drops it the corner of the nav bar so it isn't terribly handy but it's there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
What is the point of always showing the menu key, even when there is no menu functionality?

[Asus Transformer TF700] aybesea69:
Wow... 5.3 is smooth as butter so far. And the easiest install that I've ever had. In case it helps anyone... I was coming from a rom2sd install :

1) Make a TBU backup

2) Copy my download folder, etc. to my FAT32 partition

3) Reboot to recovery

4) Flash rom2sd1

5) Perform a Nandroid backup

6) Wipe data, cache & dalvik

7) Flash rom2sd1 again

8) Flash CROMi-X 5.3

9) At the kernel screen, choose Hunds 3.4.3ET (or a different rom2sd compatible kernel) and use option #3

10) Finish selections, reboot, run through set up wizard (I defer setting up for sync), finish booting

11) Wait 10 minutes. Reboot

12) Install TBU Pro key. Run TBU and restore missing user apps and data.

13) Reboot. Wait 10 minutes.

14) Finish setting up. Enjoy!

Easy, peasey and silky smooth. Hope this helps someone. Thanks sbdags!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Been a while since I posted... Just upgraded to 5.3 and once again, you've outdone yourself! Great work man - if you keep this up, I'll *never* be able to convince the wife that I need to upgrade to a newer, faster device! :)

Thanks again, [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - we all *really* appreciate your hard work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
After reading the great response to 5.3 I did a Full wipe and installed. I've been having the same general un-responsiveness that I had with 5.2.4. I've had some force closes, some times where I'd have to wait a few seconds in the browser before a window would accept text and a delay when switching apps. This all occurs if I have more then one app open at a time. I did a wipe of dalvik and cache and went back to 5.2.3 and it's lightning quick again even with multiple apps open. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Standard install (no ROM2SD), _that V7 1518, fsync disabled
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Running the same as you and I've yet to have lag issues (except the first "10 minutes" after installing and Play Store updates/installs) with any release. I have to ask if you are restoring TB apps. I only install apps as I need them (fresh from the Play Store) and only restore data since I had problems with the dock drain. Just sayin'
