[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - I love the BIOS bootup animation! Is there anyway to make it "full screen" though, instead of it being in the center of the screen? Just so that it looks more realistic? Obviously, it's a *very* minor thing, but just wanted to put that out there...

Another donation coming today, my friend!

EDIT: <sigh> - Even after a fresh install of 5.0.2, I'm still getting the "corrupt blue screen" issue on my home screen when using my mouse or the trackpad... I am absolutely positive that it's specific to 5.0.x (it *never* happened on 4.x). Will try to figure out what's causing it. Only installed a few apps so far (HD Widgets, AutoGuide and Tapatalk). It first happened when adding the Calendar widget to my home screen. Then happened again shortly after that. May be a problem with one of my widgets - only other thing I did was to set the animation speeds to .5 (instead of 1)....
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
There is a slighty easier way: Extract the boot animation from the ROM's zip file directly, then copy it to /data/local. :)

It's not an app but a startup script. If your browser is incredibly fast, it's working. :)

If you want to check if it really works: Type "mount" in a root shell, you should see tmpfs mounted to somewhere like /data/data/com.android.browser/cache.

Guys i need help in wiping my data.. So here's the thing, im thinking of selling my infinity, but before doing that i need to delete everything in my internal storage and then flash the latest cromi back again... Im just a little confuse on what wipe to use in TWRP. Just dont wanna mess things up like probably wiping everything including OS. Im currently on twrp 2.5. Can anyone help me? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
For those of us running 5.0.1, is it recommded to just flash the new That's kernel over the current 5.0.1, do a full install of 5.0.2 over 5.0.1 or do a full wipe and then install 5.0.2?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jt1998:
Dirty flash should be fine. But I always do backup and wipe cache /dalvik as well.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

Make sure you backup all to external SD card. Then format back to stock. Now flash new cromix. But have bootloader and cromix downloaded as well so you don't have to connect to internet etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I use Boat browser as my daily browser. When I first flashed 5.0.2 over 5.0.1 it was a dirty flash. I was experiencing slow page loading on Boat. I reflashed 5.0.2 but I did a factory reset before I did it. I am still experiencing slow page loads, not as slow as the first flash but not as fast as I am use to. The blue progress bar on top will move about 1 inch and will then stop for 30-40 seconds and then will finish loading. I am using _thatsv5, B2R, fsync is disabled, no cache2sd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
I just upgraded from 4.6 to 5.0.1, and even tho everything else is improved, browsing experience is pretty bad now, maybe back to stock level. Im using dolphin browser mostly, I have been trying stock browser abit before and that also is laggy and stuttering. Before I could easely open a page, open a new tab and a second or even third page while the others were loading, but if I do that now I get frezzed and normaly the popup asking me to kill Dolphin or wait. I'm downloading 5.0.2 as well to see if that improves on things.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jt1998:
My 5.0.2 experience is awesome. Use stock browser w no delays.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you using browser2ram? Did dolphin change anything?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
Yes, b2ram. I did a restore from titanium, then when I found it laggy deleted it and ran a fresh install, but it's still laggy. I ran a benchmark test on my SD card, and got 20mb read and 15mb write, is that to slow for B2RAM?

Clean flash

Hi, just struggled with the same thing earlier :)

Here is a page describing what to do (Clean install of a ROM) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2363760

In other words - In TWRP select 'Wipe > Advanced' and then select everything except the external microSD. That'll give you a nice and clean installation. Just make sure you have the Rom you want to flash afterwards on that microSD, not on the internal where it may get wiped (berndblb)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Browser2RAM uses RAM ;) It's in the name.

I've not seen any issues.

Is it with wifi speed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
Ahum, good point :p

It's not related to wifi speed, I have the same issues sitting within touching range of a newly installed wifi accesspoint and I can copy 300MB movie files in 3-4 minuttes. I will try a dirty flash of 5.0.2 and se how that goes, and if I still have issues I might try a complet wipe of everything and flash 5.0.2 again from there and see how it goes. As I said, everything else is very smooth and I also seem to have noticable better batteryusage with the new ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ghorin:
Question to sdbags : in your 5.0.2 with _that's kernel and OC option we can choose a cpu profile that determines frequency for each mode. I would have love to have the default mode with cpu=1800 so that i don't have to change my mode after each reboot (which i forgot most of the time). Is there a reason you don't propose that option ? (Risky for the tab ...)
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
one question, when you say no performance improvement, do you mean no performance improvements over everything internal or do you mean no performance improvements over data2sd? is rom2sd performance worse than data2sd performance or roughly the same?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
The performance of Rom2sd and data2sd are the same. Rom2sd is an entire Rom running on the sd. Data2sd is just the data part running on the sd. Rom2sd should be slightly faster. Rom2sd helps ,but still does not fix all the lag of our 3 year old tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
Thanks for the clarification, I understood the differences between internal, data2SD and ROM2SD, it was more the comment about performance differences as I am trying to work out why and entirely internal install of the new Homemade Zombi L(or V or POP, depending on what they decide to call it) outperforms my ROM2SD of ZomBi-X by 2k on a Quadrant test
[Asus Transformer TF700] DIXES:
Thanks for that f2fs support version.

I tried it on stock 10.6.1.27.5 (not CROMi-X 5.4 but also from sbdags) and it can boot normally.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Christoff_:
Just curious what you guys found the sweet spot was with the options with flashing. I know this varies user to user but want to know what you use. As far as what kernel and settings you picked, etc. I did _that OC and 1518 - Power Save 1GHz, Balanced 1.5GHz, Performance 1.8GHz. What ghz is the best compromise between battery life/performance? Curious if I should do UV too or? What did you guys find works best for you and is stable? And if you don't mind what settings you selected as far as fsync, zip align, etc.

Never done rom2sd and such. Is the performance improvement worth the bother? Is it buggy at all? Easy to set up? From what I understand it it loads the apps through your microsd card? What happens if your microsd card isn't in the tablet? Will those apps simply not load or will it bug out completely?

I did this after a complete wipe/upgrade of the bootloader etc. Just to confirm I can re-flash cromi after I've installed all my apps and configured the tablet where I want it and such without any trouble right? I don't need to do a complete wipe again?

-EDIT lastly I flashed the bootloader to 10.6.1.14.10. Or at least I thought I did. Under about tablet it says

Kernel Version 10.6.1.14.10-that-oc+

Build Number

TF700 CROMi-Xenogensis 5.4 - 10.6.1.27.5 US DEODEX

I flashed it using TWRP before I flashed cromi am I suppose to do it another way? Confused here. I see the thread title says ODEX/DEODEX 10.6.1.27.5
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
First of all, you're on a very good but quite old rom for this tablet. Assuming you flashed this because you want and like the Asus style rom - congrats you flashed the best Asus based rom for this tablet there ever will be. Most of us are on KK or Lollipop now. Check it out.

For CROMi-X I always found the _that kernels to be the best balanced and most stable ones. UV, IMHO, is for speed freaks - doesn't add much if anything except for some games.

fsync off is highly recommended as it does make a major difference and since this rom is very stable, the risk is close to 0.

rom2sd is about dual booting two different roms (/data and /system are on a fast microSD)

data2sd is about performance improvement (/data is on a fast microSD)

Setup is easy if you follow the directions. If you have a good microSD (I recommend the Samsung Evo) data2sd does make a major difference. But it's not just your apps on the external card. Your entire /data partition lives on the microSD if you implement it. You cannot remove the card while booted - it would crash badly.

You can dirty flash (no wipes) the same rom with different options selected in the installer as often as you like.

Once on custom software, the only place to find your bootloader version is in the bootloader (Volume Down + Power). About Tablet only shows you what your rom and kernel is build on. They're all different things now: bootloader - rom - recovery.

On stock they come in a package. Now YOU have to make sure they're compatible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Christoff_:
I'm just looking to squeeze out as much performance from this thing as I can. Don't really care about the style. I always thought Cromi was the best option. I'll look into the other ones, thanks! I'm

On mobile but really appreciate the long response I'll post more tomorrow!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
I'm a little lost on how to apply this kernel to an external f2fs install with data2sd. Do I boot into TWRP, flash the kernel, then reboot and flash cromi-x?

Or do I not need this to put cromi-x on data2sd with f2fs, and use hund's kernel instead? Is there a post with cromi-x data2sd install instructions with f2fs, I haven't found one yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Confused? What?

Explain step by step what you are trying to do and how you internal and external are set up please!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
I wanted to compare Cromi-X and Z-pop side by side, features: external install using data2sd on f2fs external SD card.

I've tried flashing Cromi-X a couple times using an external SD card formatted to f2fs but each time it seems to pick the internal storage instead, even when I use data2sd1.zip, which I was told I would need to do if booting into TWRP to mess around with external SD card installs, so it mounts the external partition correctly.

I'm starting to think, after my failed attempts, that I should just stick with Z-pop, remembering that I occasionally had reboots on Cromi-X too, and I should move forward in the hopes battery life and stability will improve with ROMs currently under development rather than reverting back to JB ROMs.

Should I pull the sd card out after I decide to flash another f2fs ROM, delete the partition in gparted, recreate f2fs partition, and then go flash the new ROM, or is that step redundant, does the flash of the new ROM on the f2fs partition in TWRP format/wipe it anyway? Or... is there some trick in TWRP where I can wipe the f2fs partition in 2.8.4 now?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Cromi X does not have the Autodectect script for data2sd or rom2sd so you have to flash/install the data2sd zip for it to run with data2sd. Let me know if you need further helps, good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You should be able to flash CROMi-X to internal and Z-Pop to external.

You will need to flash the modified _that + f2fs kernel for internal

If you want to boot internal then you must boot without the card in.

If you ever flash another internal rom you will lose the ability to boot to rom2sd even if you boot with the card in. You must always flash a rom2sd rom last to get that back.

Make sense?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It does have a script but it is old. By flashing z-pop to rom2sd it writes the new script to internal and that gets used ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
Yeah, I think I was trying to do something that wasn't intended... thanks for the info. I think... I'll stick with Z-pop right now, if I do all this with Cromi-x, any time I need advice, I'm going to have to give a huge explanation for what I did in the first place. :laugh:

Hmm... Interesting. But after witnessing Z-pop's power on external f2fs I'm never going back to internal without a fight.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the clarification.....:highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
[/COLOR]

I thought you must flash the same kernel for internal and external. So if you flash CROMi-X with _that+ f2fs internal, which kernle would you choose for Z-pop on external?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can choose whichever kernel you like as only the rsmdisk will be written. I say to flash the same kernel to ensure compatibility. So that ext might be funky with hunds internal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
If anyone has a problem with my f2fs rom2sd kernel, let me know. I have another version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
I'm thinking of trying f2fs on the cromi-x, so please share that new version.

Many thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Lyvyoo:
At the same price you can find Kingstone Micro SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 3 U3 that run much faster (maybe an overkill at 90 / 80 Mb/s). It's any risk of incompatibility with TF700, in order to install data2SD?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The transfer rates stated by the OEMs seem pure fiction to me. Maybe they get those speeds under test conditions with systems tuned to work with that particular card. The only way to find out is to test it on your system. But I can pretty much guarantee that you won't see anything close to 80 or 90 mbs on this tablet. The chip won't support it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Lyvyoo:
It's same price with Sandisk Ultra UHS-I 32gb , rated at 30 mb/s. Let's say that 90 arn't real, but 50 can be a good speed (even if some reviews confirm the offical speed). Do you know the maximum speed suported by TF700 chip?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
My read speed is around 52Mbs and write speed is around 15Mbs on my setup using SD Card Tester app....:) Go figure it out....;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I also used SD Card Tester and I think the best write speed I ever got was 23 MBs on the Samsung Evo. The Scandisk also maxed out around 15 for me.

I doubt that you'll ever see anything near 50 for write on this tablet...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am very sure that my write speed never reach upto 50Mbs...:o The best that I can get is around 16Mbs but it is average around 15Mbs for the write speed. However, my read speed is around 50Mbs and I can get it as high as 68Mbs on some of my setup but my write speed is a way to low to meet my needs...:D

Do you mean your read speed is around 23Mbs?

Is anyone else having issues with network-based location detection in Google Maps? It works in every other app (yes, network-based location services are enabled for Maps) and just started being an issue somewhat recently (last few Maps updates).

I've even re-installed completely (the latest version of CROMi-X) and it still doesn't work with Maps. It does work if enable the GPS readio though, so the problem seems to be specifically with Maps and network-based location services only.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Try moving the maps .jar file out of /system/framework

Put it somewhere safe just in case you need it back - I think the latest google maps has its own version.

Ive noticed that as time has gone by, my tablet as become unresponsive to the touch and it lags a lot when this happens. Could this be a hardware problem or a software problem? Im not a heavy user, just barely use, and its never been dropped or damage. Suggestions? (I'm using data to SD).
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Any Android ROM - or any OS for that matter - will slow down over time. You could have a hardware problem, after all these devices do not last forever. But you should try a toally clean installation to clear out any accumulated crud.

* back up all your data

* update your recovery (and bootloader if necessary) to the latest version

* enter recovery through the bootloader menu

* format data in recovery - note that in TWRP 2.7+ this can take 90 minutes or so. Do not interrupt it! Also note that for data2sd you have to flash data2sd1.zip first to orient TWRP towards the external partition

* this would be a good point to try f2fs as your file system on data. TWRP will convert it for you under the Advanced menu

* reflash the latest version of your rom
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I have a lazy-man's question here.... This rom seems to run the least laggy on my tablet of all the roms, even on the plain stock kernel with internal data... but I'd like to experiment with the various options. If my data is setup ext4 now, is there a way to restore it to a extSD / f2fs partition? I know the backups in TWRP are called xxx.ext4.xx etc, is it possible to just rename the data backup xxx.f2fs.xxx and run data2sd then restore the backup to a partitioned extSD card?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I would need to update the kernel scripts to be f2fs compliant. However you if you flash _that v11 after restoring it should work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I haven't heard the cache2SD kicked around for a long time... any reason to think that would be helpful for us? I read the link in your OP but not sure it's worth the trouble... or what would be the best way to do that with a data2sd install. Would that just be as simple as setting up two ext4 partitions and one fat32 on the extSD card? If so, could you guesstimate what a good size would be for them? I seem to remember twrp reporting the cache as pretty minimal - like 7-10mb tops.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Just in case you ever get BORED :p ...... if you wouldn't mind updating those kernel scripts, that would be awesome... :highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just spotted this. If you have data2sd or rom2sd then you already have cache2sd. :) All it does is move /data/data/app/cache to SD. ;)

failed to unmount '/cache' (no such file or directory)

I dont believe this has anything to do with the rom itself

bootloader 10.6.1.14.10

twrp 2.8.7.4@area51

after aroma installs (no issues) i get, "failed to unmount '/cache' (no such file or directory)"

I have had several different roms on here, they were all deodexed stock roms then I installed the ported katkiss rom and used it for a few days then wanted to come back to cromi so wiped everything, dalvik, system, cache, data and internal (as usual) and now this, cant get any rom to boot up (not even my twrp backups) just sits at the logo screen?

In twrp, the wipe menu, under advanced wipe, and check the cache, then go to repair/change file system says its present, and file system is f2fs, is that correct?

Any help is greatly appreciated or maybe point me in the right direction? I have been searching around on here for four hrs and cant seem to find a specific thread where I dont have to be a code genius :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
