CROMIX-5.1.2, -thatv4 kernel. It looks like I have joined the ranks of people having bootloops with this rom and I have never experienced bootloops with any of the other Cromix Roms. I had done a clean install. I tried reinstalling 5.1.2 and it would get as far as the android updating notification and then reboot. I have restored the latest nanroid I had 5.0.3 and it booted like normal. I have battery drain with 5.0.3 but (like only about 5hrs usage with just the tab no kb dock) at least I can now use the tab. I have installed a app sdbags recommended, Battery Stats, hopefully that will help me find the drain.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No such bootloops here on 5.1.2 - hardly call it ranks. 3 people have reported it so far. I need someone to capture a logcat over adb and post it else I have no chance of understanding why you are bootlooping.

Can you upgrade to 5.1.2 to see if it happens again please. Hang on you said clean install? Let me try something.

Edit - I just can't for the life of me produce this bootloop so I'm going to put it down to either a bad download and you aren't using signature verification in TWRP to check OR you have a corrupt file on /data

You can check this by running fsck in TWRP from its terminal using the following command. If it comes back clean in a few minutes you have no issues. If it takes hours to complete it's time to format /data

e2fsck -fvyD /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm... I can add the apps back in that will fix the settings fc but then you will lose the ram...... It's a fine balance. Why are people getting so hung up on settings, status?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ChefChaudart:
Hi,

I just put my tablet on dock.

Then, impossible to wake it :D No reaction ...

I had to force-reboot :o

( I think updates were installing themseleves in background )

Cheers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
What is the cost in RAM?

Wanting full functionality is just another OCD thing. Bugs me to have FC's. But, it also bugs me to have a slow tablet with little available RAM.;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
As long as it isn't started, zero.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Personally, I would vote to have it added back in (whatever "it" is that allows Settings->About->Status to work. I use it occasionally to get uptime. It's also a nice place to get MAC address. I'm all for reducing RAM usage, but not to the point where it starts "breaking" things such as a simple Status page.

Just my opinion, though. I guess the best of both worlds would be an option to include or exclude it. But, like [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] says, if you don't ever use Settings->About->Status, they it probably won't use any additional RAM anyway - just a *very* tiny amount of storage space....
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
All of that can be obtained through a simple terminal command, but I understand the ease of getting it through the UI directly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Yeah. I tried. It would not even boot - and I have a Core i7 965 EE pushing 12 GB of triple-channel DDR3 RAM 0_o

Hmmm. I wonder what it would look like on a completley basic install with absolutely no apps (other than updates) from the App Store?

Time to get testing, I suppose.

(Inserting my 2 bits here) - only bootlooping we've seen is when using Cromi Control App....

Could it be Cromi Control?

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] - well, my battery seems to be doing a bit better, but my WiFi still goes stupid after being sleep.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - I'm going to install that app you mentioned above to see what is really going on with my tablet. If I manage to cause a bootloop (derpa derp) I'll capture a catlog for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
Yeah, I vote to add it back also - users can always close settings after using it by swiping it away from the Recents display, which should restore whatever RAM it was using, if desired.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
After re-reading my initial post about bootloop I should have said that I had used 5.1.2 for 5 days before I rebooted and had the first bootloop. It was not with the inital install. I just did a dirty install of 5.1.2 and will see how that works, at least it did not bootloop.:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah OK - that makes it sound more like data corruption is happening. Would be good to get a logcat if it happens again.

5.1.2 has been the fastest and most stable version I have released so far. It is still going strong after 3 days - loving it :) Strange that a few people are having a different experience......
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that I found a solution for your issue but I only did a minimal testing on it. I will write a new post with what I found when I am off work...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ntunix:
What's the point of using a GUI? Everything can be done using the terminal... we might just remove home.apk as well to save ram too... :p

Some people value it, so it's a useful feature. Don't need to include it back on the ROM, or even to make an option for it in the arome installer, just say what files do I need to put in and I'll be happy ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] bjmarler:
f.y.i. - I just upgraded from 5.1.1 to 5.1.2 with no problems or bootloops at all.

I will say that a few versions ago, I finally had to do a full wipe and fresh install. I had never had to do that before, but something finally made my tablet to where the newest version would not install properly. A fresh start fixed it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Just wiped out data portion of internal drive. No reboot no shut down, just gone. 5.1.2 fsync 1 thats kernel. I started browser and it wanted me to log back in. Thought that was strange. Tablet seemed slow. Did something to look at internal storage files and nothing there. Checked in twrp as well. Reloaded 5.1.1

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

Patch for status available

Right this is the patch for the missing status in settings. Of all the roms I have released I have never had so many people notice a feature is not working. :eek: I have never ever ever even clicked on that button - but there you go :D I'll add it back in next time.

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)

[Asus Transformer TF700] Vienna 1683:
I tried to install CROMi-X 5.1.2 ODEX Version and CROMi-X 5.1.2 DEODEX Version

I chose in Aroma Installer Rom2SD (with /data & /system to microsd).

The installing process seemed to be ok (Congratulations....CROMi-Xenogenesis has beend installed successfully...")

But after installation and before rebooting, TWRP says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?" And TWRP says that SuperSU is not installed. After reboot the device doesn`t boot.

I´m on TWRP 2.6.3.1

On CROMi-X 5.1.1 and on older versions I used data2sd without any problems.

Of course I used gparted to create partitions and I created 3 partitions (all as primary):

fat32 + ext4 + ext4

Now I installed CROMi-X 5.1.2 DEODEX Version with data2sd "only" and my TF700 works.

I don´t know why Rom2SD doesn´t work on my device :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Me neither. After reinstalling my 5.1.1 i find my files are back, but i dont have leagacy or 0 dir any more. It appears my user dir was deleted. When i hit mt from root i do straight into sdcard did.

I supose ill get them back when i install a rom. But now 5.1.2 scares me.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Either your partitions are not formatted correctly or you don't have a working rom in internal..... ??
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
5.1.2 can't do this mate - look at the change log - it is 5.1.1 with some fixes and app updates + Rom2SD compatibility - they have the same base. I don't touch data other than to install a few apps there. Something else has wiped those files. Are you sure it's not related to something else you have flashed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The message that TWRP can't find root also means that you have a corrupt download usually. Try redownloading and turning on signature verification in TWRP. It won't let you flash if the sigs don't match (the file is bad).
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
sorry wrong post

woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] eRPeeX:
I did all the formatting stuff exactly as 14-15-16 suggests.

Installed Chromi-X 5.1.2 Rom2SD and for the first time wow a fast Asus TF 700T Tablet!

Thnx very much Sbdags! :highfive::highfive::highfive:

But after installing a lot of apk there is only 84 MB (from 1GB) left for the system partition. Now an application can not work because not enough free space. Weird! :confused:

Must I redo the formatting and make the system partition 2GB or what must I do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Your apks are installed to the /data partition if you are installing them from the playstore? How big did you make the first partition?

1GB should be enough for the /system.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
This did not happen on install. I've been running 5.1.2 from the day it came out. I did install thats6 and it had run for 24 hours. No other zip.

Had disk problems when installed rom after minic. I formated and ran the fdsk and fixed permissions in twrp so I was as clean as I could get before 5.1.2. It just happen when i was working with my tablet. all of a sudden it asked for my log in info on browser.

My worry was something might not have been installed in the trimmed 5.1.2 that needed to be. I had already found calendar and email apps that are needed for system operation. is there something else? I was also running with fsync set 1 so I didn't think that was it.

woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vienna 1683:
oh man I´m so stupid.

So now I understand: I must have a working rom in internal and then I can install a second rom on microsd, right?

I made full wipe and because of that I have problems with installing only a rom on microsd. :rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Im sorry but when i said legacy was gone i am wrong. Its there. I dont know what happened. Now i dont trust any of my observations.

Ill see if happens again.

Woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] eRPeeX:
exactly as you suggest:

1 FAT 32 : Size 16GB

2. EXT4 : Size 42GB

3. EXT4 : Size 1GB
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes :) You got it ;)

_that has developed a better way of using ROM2SD so I will be looking that method as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like you and the device got confused! :laugh:

Is it likely that the /data partition got hidden somehow? Maybe a remnant of ROM2Sd or something?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That way is only better if you don't build the ROM yourself anyway. :)

But have a look, maybe you can improve upon it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Quozl:
I've downloaded 5.1.2 Deodexed twice now, from the first and fourth links on the first page of the thread and both have failed at install. Could you have a look at them please before I attempt a third download. Never had the issue with any previous version since way back in the 3.1 days.

Both have failed verification and failed if trying to install with verification off. File size is correct on both accounts.

Thanks for any help

I installed 5.1.2 with ET and got bootloop, wiped everything to to a restore of a stable backup and my backups don't show up?

I used the file manager and they are there but I cant actually restore them?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What version of twrp are you on? 2.6.3.1 is broken. You may need to move your backups one level.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I just flashed cm 10.2 as a rom2sd experiment. Thanks _that! Is it supposed to be this laggy? :)

I might steal a few things though ;)

Ahh yeah using 2.6.3.1 -.-

So what file exactly do I move up one level? BACKUPS folder, the folder 015d2b... , or the backups themselves?

What exactly is broken in 2.6.3.1? Blackmambazzz just recently updated his ADB install tool to include 2.6.3.1. Have not seen any warning over there about 2.6.3.1 having a problem. Would 2.6.3.0 be a better choice? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
A possible fix for a slow wifi after a long sleep!

A summary of possible solutions for slow wifi after waking up from a deep sleep:

1.	Toggle your wifi off and back on again will solve the problem. I think that johnlgal found this solution or to whoever found it.. I tested this method and can confirm that it works..

This method is working and confirmed by:johnlgal, sbdags, letmeknow

2.	Uncheck the “Wi-Fi Optimization” in the wifi advance setting. I think that sbdags and others users reported this method is working on their device. I tested it but it did not work on my device. Maybe I have a different setup comparing to others or conflict with other apps that I have. I can confirm that it did not work on my device.

This method is working and confirmed by:butcherbird, johnlgal, sbdags, nevertells2, andriel

3.	Select the “Never” under “Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep” setting. I am using setting on my device all the time and I don’t have the slow wifi issue. I can confirm this method is working. Actually, I did not realize the slow wifi until johnlgal mentioned it because I never notice this issue with this setup. It is very much the same as the very first method except that the device is switching the wifi on/off by itself.

This method is working and confirmed by:letmeknow, nevertells2, andriel

4.	For some reasons, none of the above are applied to you, you can try this.

--You need to edit your “build.prop”. You can find it here: /system/build.prop

--You need to comment out this line “ro.config.hw_power_saving=true” like this: “#ro.config.hw_power_saving=true”.

--You need to save the edited build.prop.

--Go to your wifi advance setting and Uncheck the “Wi-Fi Optimization” I think that it works better with the Wifi optimization Off.

--Reboot your device when you are done and good luck. :fingers-crossed:

This method is working and confirmed by:letmeknow, workdowg

I had a minimal testing on the last method but it seems to work well. Please report back if you are using any of the above solution to confirm that it works or not. So we all know what is working on your device and thanks in advance. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
But, why is recommended not to use 2.6.3.1? I have and have not experienced anything wrong, of course I have not used all of its functions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I installed only the base system (not even gapps) and it was pretty snappy.

Do you mean the "slash in build.prop" issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
2.6.3.1 doesn't like some characters in the backup name. For some reason teamwin decided to automatically take the build name property and append it to the date for the backup name. This caused issues in previous CROMi-X backups because I used the / character to separate the build number and edition, like 10.6.1.27.5/WW Odex. This caused TWRP to create an extra folder when making a backup. I fixed it by removing the / in recent versions.

So if you have backups in a folder called w or u move everything up one level.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm I'm seeing a few bugs in cm. Browser crashed, Google play crashed, transitions are not smooth at all. It has some nice features and the keyboard is very well done. I'll continue to have a play and a bit of a tweak. WiFi also takes ages to turn from grey to blue. It eventually does but I tried on 2 wifi networks and it took 10mins. That might be related to the kernel modules and just be an accepted side effect.

Yes it's the /\ issue in ROM build names that break backups that could be catching people out.

text/widget lockscreen color

I have a background I'd like to use as a lockscreen, but its a pale background. Since the unlock button, and rotating widgets on the left side are both white, they are nearly impossible to see. [MENTION=2675647]elesbb[/MENTION]; can cromi control come with a feature that changes the color of the font and control widgets on the lock screen? Is it possible to differentiate between system font color on the desktop and font color on the lockscreen?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If the ROM version is the latest it removes the one you installed from the market but you keep data. If the market one is the latest it ignores the ROM one in system and the is uses the market one. Both keep your data.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] Just did a completely fresh install of 5.0.1 ODEX, to include int storage wipe and data format. Point of clarification (because we had to in 5.0) - we still need to run su, cache2sd -c, and cache2sd -m to enable, correct?

I ran the youtube app first time, then configured and activated c2sd, but when I ran c2sd -a, I did not see the youtube/cache in the active list. Is this why my app is running so slooooowww?:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] hnt20:
Thanks for the latest ROM. Though, i am facing a problem where my TF700 is not showing up on my PC [Win7] anymore when i connect it via the USB cable with 5.0 ROM. Am i missing anything?

Before i flashed this ROM, i was on 4.7 and i was able to successfully connect my tablet to my PC and see it as TF700 and go though the SD card files..
[Asus Transformer TF700] TeTTiweTTi:
It's not a real app. Its a service needed to run some apps.

After every first startup after a clean install I need to update the "google play services" from the play store.

Everything is working, so no problem. Maybe because I'm located in China.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Moster2:
After I tried to tick MTP, the whole settings app crashed, connecting still didnt work. Then I tried to switch to PTP, crashed again. Now MTP and PTP are checked, but neither works. Its a clean install with hunds kernel, no data2sd.

There is also no adb connection.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like a hunds kernel issue. Try that's to confirm it works please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Let's clear this up. Google sends out different service apks for different locales. So it is absolutely fine to take the update and why I can't provide one for all in the ROM. Even Asus stock does this albeit silently.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Moster2:
Just tried 5 RC1 with hunds 3.3.5 and same issue. I will try the RC1 with the 3.3.4 and if that does not work I will try _that's kernel
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
My fix for 5.0.1 was to remove YouTube from the list of apps cached. If you want it back you need to add it into the cache2sd file in /system/xbin

PM me and we'll test it together. Later when I get back from work. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeO_ReVoLuTiOn89:
Yesterday, we had the same issue. I tried to install that's kernel, and the problem disappeared ;) So yes, it seems to be a kernel issue.

dock lag

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has been mentioned already or its just my machine, but when I connect the dock the tablet becomes very laggy.

The tablet itself has been on for about a day and i've closed all other programs but it still lagged a lot with the keyboard connected.

Not on the new 5.0.1 but am 5.0, is this something that's been resolved in the update?

I may not have time to get back to you on this today. My wife went into labor Saturday morning, and I'm off to the hospital to pick her and our new baby girl up (I've been at home with our other 3 children).

I did happen to find the cache2sd text file with AntTek, open it and peruse through just for familiarization. Does your youtube app just take forever to load videos, or do you just use the stock browser? I'm about at that point --though I love the new feature of being able to float the view screen while searching the app-- now if only overskreen would work...
