[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] I use my tf300t for work, and it is amazing. I am on the 5.2a build. Is there much of a reason for me to upgrade to 5.2.2 if everything is working ok? the only thing bothering me is some sluggishness, but I attribute that to the limitations of the device, not the rom... the rom is 10x faster than the stock asus rom

Thus, I am wondering if its a big performance boost, or if i should just leave everything that is working be.

Only reason I would want to upgrade is for performance boosts...

PS - just to show you HOW MUCh i appreciate this ROM, i just donated the MOST I HAVE EVER donated to an XDA contributor ($20).... conf # 3HU44046DV300904P

thank you for all your dedication. I have worked on and compiled many roms for various devices, I even ran nightlies for about a year, but never had the dedication that you have. thank you so much on behalf of everyone.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Thank you so much for the donation! That is very generous of you and much appreciated! :good:

IMO 5.2.2 is even faster and smoother. Do a nandroid backup in twrp and then see for yourself. You can always go back that way ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] :
Will do, thanks! PS - I got my N5 recently, and if you love the stock, give Cataclysm a try (it is pretty much identical to stock, but iwth tons of customizations), but I am on SlimKat and they are adding great stuff daily (you know how hard the slim team works)

another question.. when setting up a VPN connection I am required to set-up a PIN security number or whatever. Can you disable this security check? I understand why it is highly recommended but I dont want to set a password/pin/whatever
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] falcon7204:
Well, I never seemed to have problems with CROMi until 5.2a - then I started having FCs and occasional bootloops. With 5.2.2 it really got bad, spontaneous reboots and bootloops. Might have to go back to 5.1.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lmmohr4:
5.2.2 is Unbelievable now.

Finally bit the bullet and wiped before the flash. I'd been having problems with Google Voice Typing, but the wipe cured that problem. First flash was _thatv7, Nova, FSync off and the rest defaults. Best Quadrant I've ever managed at 6400+ in Performance Mode. Snappy and EVERYTHING works, a real keeper!

Subsequently flashed same setup plus Rom2SD. It fell flat on it's face with Quadrant at 4200. Many apps failed to load. Just gave up and went back to my previous. Probable won't mess with it any more as I'm tickled pink with the first flash.

Sbdags, thank you for everything. You've made my Tf700t the tab it's supposed to be.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
finally decided to unlock, hope i wont have any future problems with my TF300. Charging it up and preparing for a fresh install of cromix :laugh:

i was wondering though if it would be possible do dualboot ubuntu 12.10 and cromix, and if yes how? i found couple of guides, the one from xubuntu on this page and ubuntu 12.10 but i am kind of confused. maybe someone wuld be kind enough to calrify it? a new step-by-step guide would be highly appreciated

How_to_install_Ubuntu

TF700 ubuntu 12.10

xubuntu

i do believe that many people would be interested and will appreciate. thanks :laugh:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
See ;) lol. Told you a wipe was the way forward.

BTW you are in the TF300 thread :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
BTW I don't think it works on non TF700 hardware :(
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
I've no idea to be honest mate. It's setup however Asus have set it up.

I've never used VPN on mine.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
You need to provide logcats and the last_kmsg wehn you get fcs and after a reboot. Sounds like data corruption. It will keep coming back until you format your data partition in TWRP.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] 777.300:
Hi Sbdags,

Thanks for al your great work on this wonderful ROM.

My TF300t is running fast and smooth.

Best ROM ever.

Made a donation to support the development.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
It works for sure. From tf700 you can use the image, but kernel from xubuntu. There are some youtube videos, and tahts what the guy says. I was especially interested in dualboot :) . And tf700 is not that special, except for the display :)

In my opinion ubuntu makes more sense if you have a keyboard :)

Many thanks for the donation! :good: Means a lot. :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
i have a question: noticed that i cant lower the minimum frequency less than 200 MHz. when I read some documents I need as much battery life as posssible. :silly:

and also i miss my favourite governor from my galaxy s1 - smartassv2 :crying:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Depends on the kernel you chose. I think Hunds doesn't go below 200MHz. The issue is sleep of death at 50MHz.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lmmohr4:

Jeez, sorry about that. Must have copied a bad link way back. Thanks for putting up with me.

Regards,
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mloc33:
Just flashed from 5.2a, no problems updating, thanks again!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] falcon7204:
Formatted /data (after copying everything over to my PC) and restored the last 5.2.2 backup from Sunday (hey, even if it didn't work then, backups are still important). Seemed to work well ... updated a few apps ... and updated the xposed framework and rebooted. Seemed to work much more smoothly. I'll play with it some more tomorrow.

Must have been one too many dirty flashes. :cyclops:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] worhello:
Flashed 5.2.2 dirty over 5.2a. Had no issues, even seems smoother than 5.2a. The one thing I did notice was that the first time the ROM flashed, it installed very quickly, but it turned out it hadn't flashed at all, just made it so that the tab would l wouldn't go past the Asus screen. Reflashing the ROM fixed the issue :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] i get the sleep of death on thats v7 kernel everytime but v4 is fine (could that be my bootloader?)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Interesting we don't see this on the TF700 but it could be it is because he only builds it on the TF700 so the TF300 has a slightly different setup...??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] treo4life:
lm not experiencing that on my 300 with v7...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ChessSpider:
But I am :) it just doesnt happen on a regular basis. I flashed the previous version.. havent updated yet to the current version.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] treo4life:
I hope you get it figured out, need to update to the current version to see if that helps you.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jonoathome:
i ditched thats kernal because of the sleep of death issue...

using tf300t...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] genuser:
I was having a couple quirks with 5.1.1 and 5.2a. Both were dirty flashes. Fresh install with 5.2.2 and it is outstanding! Also moved to Hunds Kernel. Great job SBDags. Really appreciate it!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] 777.300:
Same here, occasionally had them on v6 but I think I haven't seen it on v7.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] makcrellon:
Hi all,

Quick question.

I've currently got 5.1.1 on my TF300TL, and everything's working fine. There's the occasional stutter at times, but 100 times better than when it was on stock.

I can see there's 5.2.2, and strongly considering the upgrade.

Should I stick to a particular kernel to ensure continued 3G functionality? I'm currently on the 'that4' kernel.

Thanks all!

Mack
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Yeah I would stay on that kernel (well in fact I have lol)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] _that:
No, it's normal. I have it too and my dock works fine.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] okrasitna:
thanks for the update

but before flashing

deodex 5.2.2 md5 are

b20b99281dd2765c61a7b5bc02fd1ab9

or

36760333a94944c6c19542670b5eb8e8

sorry for the noob style
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Oops my bad - I left the 5.2a md5s on.

Should be md5: 36760333a94944c6c19542670b5eb8e8

BTW if you turn on signature verification in TWRP you don't need an md5 as my files are signed so TWRP will do the verification for you.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nonek:
Hey sbdags.. GREAT work by the way.. Huge fan of what you do and your support for this ROM has been the best I've seen especially from one dude.. I can only compare it to the Synergy Folks who are sadly on Hiatus due to life rearing it's ugly head..

Anyway... Now that I've genuflected sufficiently (and yes it's sincere genuflecting) I am having an issue..

I was a true fan of ROM2SD and it was running incredibly well for me. However.. It started getting slow for me and it just seemed to get slower.. I was seeing some pretty major hesitations so I decided to install an sd card tester and then I tested my read write speeds while in ROM2SD.. It didn't run very well and ended up with 3 or so MB/sec.. I was testing the Msd card which is of course the parition on the boot anyway.. but then I booted into my normal boot and tested the internal sd card and it was actually faster by over double.. I'm also seeing a much smoother experience on a normal boot..

My Card is a Sandisk 64gig Ultra which should be way faster than what I was getting..

I'm actually getting ready to fly across country to Visit the folks so I can't spend a whole lot on this but any ideas? Any tests or info that I can give you to maybe figure out my issue?

I was thinking about formatting the card and doing some offline pc benchmarking on it just to get a better handle on if maybe my card is bad (unlikely) or my TF300..

Oh and I HATE being the only guy with an issue and just let me know what you think I should try and I'll do all the work so you can do the other cool work and not work on a stupid one off..

Thank you again for your work and Happy Holidays!! May you do many things that I'm not supposed to talk about on these forums or I will get a warning this holiday season ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Do this:

Boot into TWRP and go to advanced terminal.

Type in the following:

e2fsck -fvyD /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Let it run. If it takes about 5 mins with no errors - your card is clean and we'll have to look elsewhere.

However I suspect it'll come back with hundreds or thousands of errors and take hours to complete.

If so you will need to reformat the card in GParted to get it working again. You did partition it in GParted?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nonek:
Yessir I used GParted. Ill give that a shot. I had a problem with my s4 and I was getting all sorts of errors. Difference there was it wouldnt boot at all..

Im waiting for my flight so this will give me something to do on the plane. Thank you.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joyo22:
My friend. I received a SGN 10.1 2014 Edition yesterday and I had to say goodbye to my TF300T. Thanks to your work, from the first day it was the best tablet I ever had. I really appreciate your dedication. That's why you develop the best ROM in XDA! Thanks again!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Moe5508:
Sadly for me not such a fluid experience on this ROM...running the TF300TG on Hunds v7 kernel. Very laggy navigation and interface...frequent hangs in app menus e.g. PowerAmp...literally have to wait e.g. 20 secs for device to respond. Boot time is something like 7 minutes...shutdown also takes a relatively looong time...I really don't know what's up...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Are you on the correct bootloader - that is not a normal experience.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
BTW guys if you have FC with the latest google keyboard store update, just reboot and it will be fixed. :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Moe5508:
Yep, I believe so. Flashed it long ago already with Stock Asus 4.2.1 ROM and been working off of that ever since...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Hmm can you list the version from the bootloader screen please. The rom should load in around 30 to 40 secs (unless you have hundreds of apps installed) and be extremely snappy.

BTW I do list the hunds kernel as not being compatible with the TF300TG in the installer. Have you tried one of the other kernels?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rickykemp:
Just updated to latest and had a play around with the IO scheduler in no frills. Changing it to deadline has made it like a new tablet, it's so quick! Using that's OC modded kernel.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] 777.300:
Today my first "Sleep of Death" with That's kernel v7.

Anyone experienced this on Hunds Kernel?

Can it be kernel related?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Moe5508:
10.6.2.3

Nope, not tried any other kernel yet.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
i think its kernel related as thats v4 kernel is perfect (but i still get the battery drain when it should be deep seeping but im still trying to pin point it lol)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] worhello:
Do you have the dock connected? And do you have the "battery saving" option checked in Asus settings?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] graphdarnell:
Quick question: I have a PNY class 10 that tests 11x write and 18x read. Installed ROM2Sd on it and it's slower than anything I've ever seen. Reading is much worse than the internal storage, downloading takes forever. Matter of fact it's way slower than a class 4 Sandisk and Patriot I tried with the same settings. Could it be the brand?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Frankyg:
New to ROM2SD, couple questions.

Hey,

Thanks for the ROM, just set up my Sandisk Class 10 and installed 5.2.2 ROM. seems to have gone pretty OK. Quadrant Score of 4600 on performance mode. Does that sound about right?

I selected thats_v7 kernel during the install, but I forgot to check if it allows overclocking?

Oh - I was running 5.1x on my tablet before I installed on the microsd card - was wondering how to access all that internal memory that's no longer needed for general storage? Would it be a bad idea to use that internal memory for videos due to poor IO?

Thanks again
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
yep mate i do
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
I just ran some stats:

Google + woke up my tab 628 (yep six hundred and twenty eight times) in the last 24 hours to check for an update. Needless to say I will be uninstalling it......
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
thats crazy lol i think mine is checking the sd card in the dock all the time so im testing that too atm

edit: left the sd card out and still no deep sleep lol
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] genuser:
Any recommendations for kernel settings on Hunds? Defaults are running great, but I'm interested in seeing what others are doing.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cbasse:
Not sure what happened here. I had been running along smoothly for several days now (since flashing your latest version on my TF201), and just decided to reboot, for no real reason other than that I haven't rebooted in a while. Well, now I find myself in a constant bootloop. So, I decided to (dirty) flash the rom again and see if that did the trick, but it still just bootloops. Any suggestions before I do a complete wipe and start over from scratch?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] patrickdass:
Restore your nandroid backup? SInce you've tried a dirty flash and it still doesn't work.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
I use interactive governor and row scheduler. Also, reduced gpu freq to 380 mhz in balanced mode.

But still ... something seems to drain my battery and keeps cpu at high frequencies. Used it for playing a little clash of clans, checked facebook and watched an episode of star trek - 45 minutes.

With a total of 1h 52 min display battery dropped from 90 to 52 :confused: (80% of total)

Any suggestions? Thanks :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
What a day! I have been migrating all my tools over to my new Windows 8.1 computer.

First off all my cygwin tools would not work as it seems the visual studio c++ tools that ship and can be installed on an x64 CPU are not compatible with the older x86 libraries.

This meant decompiling a kernel became very hit and miss as cpio and gzip executables weren't working at all. I finally got most of it fixed boot I couldn't get a kernel to repack into an img file properly. If anyone knows of a working makebootimg.exe compatible with x64 that would be great. In the mean time I have a work around using the dsxidia kitchen cygwin tools.

Then my signapk.jar file that I got from _that and have been using for ages just won't work on Windows 8.1. It fails miserably on 2 machines. It seems that no amount of heap memory allocation can solve it and it just gives out of memory errors. FInaly fixed that by nicking a really old version from elsewhere :)

Finally I couldn't copy anything over about 10MB to my device, internal or external. Turns out after many hours of wasting time, my cable has gone bad :eek: Luckily I have a spare and it works fine.

Then to top it all off - my sdcard got corrupted when I unplugged it from the PC without properly soft ejecting it first. Sheesh! :rolleyes: Anyway 5.2.3 built and signed now.

Off to do some final testing. :victory:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:

My recommendation: Use virtualbox and install Windows 7 x86 or w/e you used before and do all your dev in that virtual machine. Then you wont have any problems anymore. :) You can even install a linux distro and compile on that one, much easier than windows.

How can i flash this if i have CM11 ?///
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
first you need to check you have the right bootloader then download the rom and place it on your sd card or in your internel memory and then boot to recovery and click wipe and then swipe to factory reset, this will keep all photos and music and files like that but will wipe all apps and there data so back up ones you want to keep with titanium backup (but only user apps not system apps) then in twrp click install and navigate to the rom and then pick your settings through the aroma installer and then realise you just flashed the very best tf300 rom you can get
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] PaulSas:
Yeh tx.. i had CROMI before.. i just wanted to see how CM is.. kept it for a few hours and decided that there is no other ROM that can compare to CROMI
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gtanner00:
Make site you flash old recovery first as all kitlat recoveries for tf300 are incompatible with older roms

Installed today on my ME301T; everything fine except when I try to set up another account (for my son). After accout adding, system told me to configure the new account; clicked configure now, and after the "Asus In search of incredible" boot-up logo, returned to lock screen of main account. Clicked to log in into secon account, and same result, boot animation and return to main account lock screen.

Do someone use multiple accounts and have same problem?

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
I've never used a multi-account setup so don't know. Sounds like you may need to wipe first?

Unable to make Nandroid backup to ext sd

Hi all. I installed 5.2.3 on my Mom's tf300 with twrp 2.5.0.0. I have the sandisk ultra 64gb class 10 mounted. I'm trying to make a backup through twrp but I get the message " E:Unable to create folder : /external_sdcard/TWRP (errno=30)

E:Failed to make backup folder"

Also, on a side note.. She used to have a battery indication in the system bar by the clock. It's been gone since I put cromi x on. Is there an option in settings that I've missed?

TIA for your help. Merry Christmas to all :)

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] fire90:
Is that normal with ROM2SD lag when apps are updated ??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
No not really - but it really depends on what type of sdcard you have installed. If it is as slow as the internal sd or not very fast then you will still get IO lags.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] fire90:
I have Samsung uhs1 sdhc classe 10 48Mb/s. It's ok? Otherwise if sdcard is good what i have to do else? Format the entire tf300 and re install?

Hey [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]

Your post on transformer forums has been a great hit with non xda rooters. I have been maintaining it by answering questions and such but I noticed that the link is about three releases behind. Also there is no link to this thread for people to find out more.

Just a heads up in case you were forgetting
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yeah keep forgetting! Doh. I'll pop over now and update everything ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cr4zy.b0y:
currently on asus stock kernel, will test and report back.i got a BSOD on hunds kernel - inbteractive governor, max freq 1300 min 102 ( core 1 @ 1300, core 2 @ 1100 , core 3&4 @ 960, GPU at 380 MHz)

i will also test battery life, wasnt too happy with it on hunds, about 4 and a half hours of web browsing :confused: . i noticed that cpu was most of the times at high frequencis :confused: ... before unlocking the tab it was mostly at frequencies lower than 900 MHz under same conditions ( even with more apps installed)

otherwise fast and smooth rom ( as smooth as android can get, we all know that it tends to get sluggish :D ) . I also used an app for blocking autostart of some apps at boot and it seems to work somehow ( not all of them are stopped, but it feels a bit faster, not only placebo effect :D )

wish you a merry merry christmas :fingers-crossed:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yeah Hunds don't like going below 204MHz. Not sure why people fixate on going to 51MHz or 102MHz - you won't save that much battery.

BSOD is a windows thing - not sure how you managed to achieve that on an android device? :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] GTIM2L8:
5.2.2 or 5.2.3?

I just downloaded the new ROM from mirror 3 (Google Drive, no MD5 sum for it either) and it said 5.2.3 but it downloaded a 5.2.2 .zip file??

The sizes were different: 539,116kb vs 540,371kb

Just checking, the other 2 mirrors were really slow 190 - 200 kbs......the one from your google drive was running 2 -3 mbs, only took a few minutes.

Switched to mirror 5 (IL) and got the second one at 540371kb with the MD5 sum checked correctly.

I know how hard you worked on this just thought you might want to know.
