Just do a nandroid first ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Changelog for CROMi-X 5.4 so far ;) Now a choice... Is it worth me doing an ODEX version or would you rather I just provide the TWRP flashable script that odexes the rom for you? I prefer the latter personally as it means I can spend less time building and more time working on Android 4.4 ;) If all goes well this may be the last 4.2.1 I do :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Will the Android 4.4 be based on a Asus rom, or does Asus have one yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No I will be cromi-fying something else ;) No sign of JB 4.3 or 4.4 for the transformer series (other than the TF701).
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am looking at the change log and see that you are using _that v8 and Hund v3.4.5. Both kernels support F2FS and the F2FS file system seems to improve the Write speed and the I/O through put...:) Are you going to make it easier for users to use it if they want to, just my curiosity....;)

You are great supporting the Cromi X and looking forward to see the Cromi Kat....:laugh:

Great works and cheers, sbdags,

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I haven't seen how to format the partition yet - is there an easy way. I can see the edits that need to be made to the ramdisk to understand it and I would like to test it over rom2sd but if I'm using windows how do I format for F2FS?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You can use _that f2fs binary to format with adb or use gparted v0.17 to format your external sd. I actually used gparted to format my external sd to run data2sd with f2fs on the data partition. The good news is there are no lag at all when you are updating apps and working simultaneously on your tf700....;) I am looking for a solution to patch the recovery so you can use it to format f2fs... Wish me luck....:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah great! I'll have a play. Still sounds a bit immature though to include in the ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, you are correct about the immature of this new file system.....:) You still need to do a lot of tests to see the stability of it. However, someone has to start it some where... More testers will give you more feedback, I hope...:) Just my two cents...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It would be most elegant if you could simply add it as an option to the Aroma installer (the odex-on-demand script).

Agree. Better wait for the next release cycle (see my post in my kernel thread)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Already built into installer ;) but it didn't like it if ROM is not rebooted once. I didn't think there was any reliance on dalvik .Dex files but lots of force closing. If I reboot then reodex all is fine. Need to debug more to understand why.. .
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
F2FS and 5.4

Wow, this is getting EXCITING!

I'm really looking forward to 5.4. I guess I'm one of the few who have had problems with 5.3 and 3a. Finally got a new install working after my bootloop episode by installing 5.3 dirty, then a reboot,then back into twrp and flashing 5.3a. The earlier 5.3+3a which resulted in the bootloop was flashed without the reboot between flashings. (which I seem to remember someone saying that was ok.) No rom2sd only Internal, -thav7 plus defaults.

Anyway the new flash is still laggy. Updates (30) waiting and stalled (particularly after sleep) . I've found you have to STOP all to get the updating started individually. I still think it's constipated! Almost finished with individual updates so I can get a good TB. Hopefully just in time for 5.4.

One other weird thing...Nova Backup fails to load anything on my ExtSD when I specify it for a backup. No error msg, Works fine for internal. I just copied the one from /data manually. WTF?

May have to bite the TF701 bullet.

.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Pardon my ignorance, but after the initial boot, is there much difference between the two? I always seemed to think odex ran smoother for me, but IIRC, someone along the way said it only mattered on the initial boot. :confused:

I had mentioned a little while back that my tab was lagging something fierce, but switching to _that's kernel has made it run like 347 again :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] TeTTiweTTi:
The stock rom has the possibility to drop the wifi during sleep to extend battery life.

Would a tweak to set the performance level of the cpu to power saving mode help as well?
[Asus Transformer TF700] poopymonster:
Thanks for the fix! I installed Hund's 3.3.7 OC and it worked! FYI, I did select Hunds 3.3.5 during Aroma Install.

Thanks again!

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]: any chance we'll be seeing an updated kernel installer as we did with CROMI-X 4.x with all the latest kernels?
[Asus Transformer TF700] primaleph:
I'm having a lot of trouble with browser crashes, both with stock and Dolphin. Initially I thought this might be Browser2RAM related, so I deleted the script but it didn't make a difference. I'm running a clean installation of CROMI-X 5.0.1 with Hund's kernel (overclocking disabled) and Nova Launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I can try that and see if it works or not. I've downloaded EaseUS partition Manager Free edition, so I'll give it a go.

Using the stock launcher only, when you open it, at hte top rigt hand side you'll see where it says "Sort by Name" - press that and you get a drop down list 3 ways to sort the app drawer - "Sort by Name", "Sort by Frequency", and "Sort by Last Updated".

Thanks - I was trying to figure out why my tablet flashed with CROMi-X with Hunds could not be seen in my desktop when just 30 minutes before it could with the )that kernel. Now I know.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Dual partitions, as suggested by some, or one big part?

Hmmm, I suppose that in this day and age and with a card that is 1 million times the size of the block size, the inefficiency of using such a large block siz should not be much of a problem in terms of wasted space, right?

Good idea on having a second part ready for Data2SD just in case....

Thanks for the thread

Ahhh, I thought it was an actual limitation of FAT32 itself, as oppposed to a Windows imposed limit.

________________

Well, one of the cards is now fully formatted using exFAT again (did it while I went out for dinner and drinks) so I'll see if this works - if not EPM here I come to see if I can force it to FAT32 and make it work. If it does not work with FAT32 either then I am positive that the dock is hosed and needs to be replaced.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

OK, I tried the fresh exFAT format and it failed. I then tried the guiformat32 tool and tried the card inserted as one big FAT32 volume. No dice.

This convinces me that the dock has issues. Good thing there are 5 days left on my warranty :P

[Asus Transformer TF700] Indurus:
Cromi-X 5.0.1 (and I think every previous Cromi Version) is able to do that too! I don't know where exactly, but you can find that in the options!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The CPU modes differ in the maximum clock speed, but the minimum is the same for all modes. So it's unlikely that this helps.

Don't guess, post a logcat.

You waste half a block per file on average, so it only depends on the size and number of the files you want to store. :) For media files I see no problem at all with 64 KB blocks.

Good luck!
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Yeah, with media files not so much - a boatload of smaller files, like my Master's Thesis research data, though, would have been a nightmare.

Thanks for the good luck - I'll need it.

Hey Guys,

i installed this ROM and works fine so far. Now i want to use the data2sd feature since e have bought a class 10 microsd.

But how can i do that? I installed the rom with _that kernel, but how can i configure this feature now?

another question: is there a option to change i/o sheduler to sio? I've read this is the fastest one...?!

also i want to change the cpu govenor to smartass2, i now it from my tf101 and it worked awesome. is there a chance to get this also on tf700?

can someone tell me?!

thank you (and sorry for my bad english, i'm from germany ;) )!!

I noticed something strange with bsplayer which I use to play my network media on the tablet.

When there is just 1 audio track from any tipe of video files it plays with no sound at all.

When there is a multi audio i.e english/french it plays correctly and switching from one to another language works perfectly.

I don't have this issue with bsp player installed on my samsung galaxy s2.

So I am wondering if it might be a small bug of the rom ?

Guys not sure why but I always found my tablet slow.

I moved to 5.0 with the old bootload.

When I wanted to install 5.0.1, I noticed a new bootloader 10.6.1.14.10. Since I have installed it my tablet is much faster, does anyone have find its tablet going much faster after install of 10.6.1.14.10?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rivera151:
I'm going to jump in on this too. I can't enjoy y tablet anymore because I can't rely on it holding its charge. Makes me REALLY want to throw it in the trash.

I can add, I upgraded incrementally to the newest ASUS stock firmware and my dock firmware was NOT updated. It is something in the tablet ROM.

Really considering going back to CROMI 3.4. But not before gathering some intel... will keep posting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Neo3D:
Could someone please show me how to remove the notifications for the micro-SD card and the keyboard dock?

I removed it in the previous version but I can't find where to do that again. :/

Look for an app on your tablet called CROMiX Control. Select the options there then reboot.

How to share a map?

There are two users on my TF700. How can I share a map between them. Now I can't even share an SD-card.

I'm using Cromi 5.0.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
That would be amazing. Running a version of Cromi based of 4.4 on our tablets. It would certainly keep the TF700 going for me. Since Google has made tweaks in 4.4 so that devices with lower specs can run it fine, do you anticipate it would allow our device to run better than 4.2?

Either way, donate headed your way. Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] oxnardprof:
I am confused. There is a statement on the first page that seems to indicate that i should not install cromi x because of some problem. I have completed the initial steps up to creating a nondroid using twrp. I have android 4.2.1 and build 10.6.14.10, so I think this is the right thread foy my tablet.

It is out of warranty and i cannot stand its lagginess much longer.

Should I wait for version 5.4 that i saw mentioned or go ahead with the downloads on lage 1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
What are you referring to, specifically? The CROMi control app? Don't worry about that, just don't use it. You have real patience if you've waited this long to rom flash! If you have your nandroid already you should be good to go. Prepare for awesomeness.
[Asus Transformer TF700] oxnardprof:
Yes I think the cromi control app what is that?

I will wait until tomorrow, too tired to deal with it tonite.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

One more question

Do i download cromix 5,3 and 5.3a patch, then use twrp to flash first 5.3 then second 5.3a?

Both times using twrp?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Right, odex files are the same format as the dex files in the dalvik-cache. The only reason why you couldn't just copy the files from the dalvik-cache to /system/app directly to make an odex version of your ROM is that they depend on each other and contain the full path names of the files they depend on.

The fact that popular ROMs like CM come only in deodexed versions may be a hint that there are more important things to care about than the whole odex/deodex story. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] powder man:
because of newer posts from sbdags waiting for 5.4..:)

great to hear that he is thinking about JB4.3 or KK4.4 :cool:

sbdags, pls use CM for your base..
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I'd flash a turd if sbdags posted it. Everything is gold from him as far as I'm concerned. :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm pretty sure that [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] will *never* use CM as his base (and I'm glad about that!). He uses stock Asus images as his base as this is a "stock-based" ROM.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], please correct me if I'm wrong here! ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mushroom.:
I think a flashable zip to odex would be great. Whatever is the least amount of work for you; it's a negligible amount of extra time for us if we want to odex that way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Malave:
I agree. I'm excited to see what you can do with 4.4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Yes. Flash both. Cromi control app is an app that is installed once you're up and running. What is being said is not to use the app once you're fully booted into the rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I can hardly wait for CROMi-X 5.4 and the updated kernels.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Lol. I haven't really started anything yet. So good or bad it will be a CM base. I'd rather a stock base for stability but that is the challenge to get a good working cm base ROM, that is quick and will accept some Asus stock apps.

But first 5.4 needs to go out the door. Deodex is done. Testing the odex scripts tonight :)

I properly laughed out loud at the turd comnent. Thank you :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] oxnardprof:
Now you make me think I should wait for 5.4 to come out. I have waited so long already, what diff will a few days make?

BTW: I have not run the "Scott's recovery tool" yet. I understand that it is downloaded to the PC and the table connected - but what mode should the tablet be in?

(I have installed TWRP and run a nandroid.)

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Only cos nothing is coming from Asus! I don't particularly like CM but let's have a play and see what happens ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Completely understand! For some reason, I was thinking that you were somehow taking a newer version of Android from your TF701 and making it work on the TF700. Or is the TF701 still at the same version of Android as the TF700?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
TF701T is on 4.3 but the resolution is so high that the files are huge! The asus stock rom is over 1GB in size. We only have 756MB of system space available so I could get creative with moving things to /data but even removing the bloat I'm still stuck at 800+MB plus it won't boot - our bootloader is not compatible it would seem - probably related to the TEGRA4 changes than kernel or framework but difficult to tell. I'll continue to mess but it's easier to pick up a CM based rom that at least boots.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dlbarron:
Out of curiosity what is your beef with CM? I find it very stable on my HTC One, even the nightlies. It's not beautiful, but it works very well, the development team is responsive to problems, and it's is remarkably bloat free. What else could anyone ask for on a phone?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It doesn't support the transformer particularly well, it tends to be buggy, it never actually reaches a final version (nightlies, cherry picks, many versions, as soon as a new google version comes out the old versions just die), gapps packages are out of date, kernel is not well optimised. However I'm willing to give it a shot :) Maybe I'm being too harsh. It also has many benefits :) Mainly around the massive dev support and flexibility of forking your own rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dlbarron:
I don't find it buggy when it gets to a final version, and it does eventually get to one. CM 10.2 is an example.

They move to a new version as soon as there is a new version of android because that's what people (including me) expect.

gapps are out of date, but they all get updated the first time you bring it up, so that's no biggie.

As for the kernel I'll take your word on it but perhaps they keep it as generic as possible for compatability or something.

Can you tell I'm a fan of CM? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Release the Kraken! ... sorry, I got carried away when I saw that there is a 5.4 on the way ... Release the ROM ... //smile
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, thats been my experience as well - every time I tried a CM-based ROM on my Transformer (my original TF101), it just didn't work very well - had issues with most of the Transformer-specific features....

But, it certainly can't hurt to try, I guess!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Especially if it can be Cromified.:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I take the stability, lack of issues, and performance of stock based ROM over CM any day. I am getting over 8000 in quadrant with plain old Cromi-X 5.3a and hunds kernel 3.4.4, which plays out quite nicley in actual use, zero lag anywhere. Haven't had any crashes or stability issues on 3.5a either. My overall experience with this tablet has never been better. Can't tout the excellence of CROMi enough lol.

I've installed 5.3a over 5.3 and I feel this thing is flying, but my battery is also not lasting as it was. Without touching the tablet the whole day it used 25% while on 5.3 with the same apps it would use 10% at maximum. Another thing, I've also felt that the tablet is heating more.

Does this patch alters speeds or some kernel stuff that could cause all this?

It is the law of nature...:) Your tablet is running faster in turn it uses more battery and generate more heat...;) You can slow your CPU and GPU down a little bit to have a better battery life and less heat... It is a lot easier to slow down your speed but a lot harder to push it faster. It is always nice to have some over head for your speed if you need them...:laugh: Just my two cents.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I also get amazing performance while using 5.3a but I have not had any issues with excessive battery drain, while in use or not. On the contrary I have found battery life to be pretty damn excellent.

Damn dude that sucks, that would drive me nuts. There is definitely something amiss, you shouldnt have to worry about heat or performance. I can run several benchmarks in a row in performance mode clocked @1.9Ghz and I still dont hit +60 celsius. While idling I generally sit around 30-34 celsius, regardless which performance mode I am in.

I definitely haven't worked any special magic on my tablet, to my knowledge I am not a wizard lol and others have gotten similar results. I definitely do not have a better hardware version than you as I have the oldest, and worst, version of the tf700 bc I preordered it as soon as it was released. If anything most people should be getting better results than I am.

I just added a new section to my guide outlining how I set up my entire system, step by step. You might want to give it a quick look over.

I really hope something gives and you get a more than usable device.
