I think he meant that after re-connecting the wifi, the tablet was sluggish for a while because it was "catching up" with receiving new emails, etc... Not that it took long for the wifi itself at actually re-connect. That's one reason why I leave wifi on 24/7 - that and I want to be alerted of new emails, even when the device is "sleeping".
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the clarification...;)

[MENTION=614281]Ozark_8125[/MENTION]

Please disregard my previous post...:( Sorry about that...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Haha - well, I changed it anyways. I was still having El Massive wakeup lag with wifi on 24/7 on hunds. Trying your v7 kernel to see if that'll help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is odd...:confused: I never have wifi lags on the tf700 both on Hund and _that kernels... Maybe, I was a lucky one...:) I did test the wifi module on sbdags, _that, and hund with the internet speedtest. sbdags and _that wifi module were very much the same behaviors and speeds but Hund wifi module was faster in speedtest for about 2-3Mbps over all....:) Any way, it was just a speed test and it may not solve your wifi wakeup lag. However, I would like to share my observations on those tests...

Did you uncheck the wifi optimization in the wifi advance menu? If not, you could try that to see if it helps and good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Thanks LMK - I did not try that. The lag I get is like the lag the older builds had when running playstore updates. I'll see how the optimization goes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, I am running out of ideas so I can no longer helping you out with your issue. However, others devices are starting to use the F2FS for their data partition and looks very promising with random write speed. It is a huge improvement comparing to ext4 format. Maybe it is time for our developing teams to investigate into it for out tf700...;) There are a lot information on F2FS on the internet and see if you can pick up something for your device... Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Rom2SD freeze

I wanted to report back that since I re-formatted the entire MicroSD and re-installed the ROM2SD it has been working fine with no freezes or SODs. BUT today I let the keyboard battery drain all of the way and it froze. It was working fine all week but I kept the battery up daily. Today it froze and I noticed that the keyboard battery was 0. Here are two kmsg logs before and after the freeze.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kam33mitch:
Backup & recover tablet rom2SD

I also wanted to outline the steps I did to backup/recover my install for anyone wanting to get back up to speed quickly. Some of the things I did to recover were:

1) Copy the android/obb directory to an external SD card or other backup media. You'll want those files later so you don't have to re-download them. TB and Nandroid backups ignore them.

2) Do all full TB backup.

3) Reboot into TWRP.

3) Run the Rom2sd1.zip to move the mount points and then do a full nandroid backup (system,data,boot etc).

4) I copied the TWRP folder and all of the MicroSD folders I wanted to an external media as I needed to format the microSD card.

5) I deleted all the partitions on the microSD card using gparted and created three new partitions. 24GB fat32/34GB ext4/1.2GB ext4 on my 64GB card.

6) Copy the TWRP & TB folders, CROMi-X rom and rom2sd1.zip to the fat32 partition of the microSD card and re-install into the tablet.

7) reboot into TWRP and install the ROM (be sure to select rom2SD option).

8) may not be necessary but I rebooted into TWRP again, installed the rom2sd1.zip and then did a restore.

9) reboot

9) Copy back the obb folder into the android directory.

10) run TB to restore any missing apps/files.

Note that all of these steps do not affect the internal installation at all.

Should be back to normal at this point with everything running as it was before the re-install.

Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thefezzer:
I found that I got no joy until I went back in and formatted the partitions as well..
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Something unknown is resetting the kernel loglevel in /proc/sys/kernel/printk to 3 (or preventing it from being set to 7 by my init binary), therefore most messages are missing in the log. Do you have a /system/boot/init file?

Apparently the kernel did register that you pressed the power button multiple times, so it didn't really freeze. And some lines before there are timeout errors writing to the microSD card:

mmcblk1: error -110 transferring data

That looks like the known problem that some combinations and microSD cards don't work reliably. It seems to be a hardware/design flaw of the TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ferator:
Hello guys,

Was in the plane yesterday returning from Miami, 9 hours.

Got the dock plugged to the tablet and battery drain eated the entire thing in less than an hour...

I have tried many trick indicated on the forum but nothing working.

So that's it for me.

I am going back to asus stock rom and will probably sell it and get a surface.

I wanted to say a big thank you to Sdbags and all the contributors as the work done was fantastic.

Without cromi, I would have sold this expensive piece of s**t already a year ago.

On the other side, Asus has gained a strong advocate against their products who will not hesitate to tell as many people as possible to stay away from their products.

What I still don't understand is how come all those so called "experts" testers & reviewers never mentioned the storage performance issue... Shame for a product at that price...

Anyway have a great day :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Thanks _that, but no. I'm not dual booting or using kexecboot at the moment, so no boot directory... I only posted about the SOD because someone else had it happen it docked. Thought maybe I had some new information. I can't remember the last time it happened that didn't involve dual booting...
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Folks,

I am attaching an Android Tuner recording -- I believe that it was recorded on a day when my dock battery lost a lot of juice without any use after some light usage in the morning. If this is info you devs can read, I will gladly buy the full version of the app and try to capture another instance. Please let me know ... BUT ...

PLEASE PM ME if you want me to continue with these recordings. Due to family health issues, I am not able to follow the thread post-by-post right now.

I do have my tablet with me each day, and I am happy to record the tablet's activities.

Thank you!

(wth ... we can't attach .txt files in Tapatalk? Geez.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
How do you interpret the log??

In my experiments the battery drain is related to google now / google play + location services. Turn off location services or try switching it to GPS only and it pretty much goes away.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
You have to install the Android Tuner, create the "recordings" directory where the app is setup to look for them at (/sdcard/Android/data/ccc71.at.free/recordings) and then put the recording file there. Then you can open it from the "Analyzer" function within the app.

I just took a *very* quick look and it doesn't look like it captured battery stats (it didn't show a graph for them). But I didn't spend much time with the app yet - there may be a way to show the battery usage stats... Just wanted to post this real quick so others can review the log provided.

EDIT: From what I can tell, you need to purchase the full version to get the battery usage recoding functionality.. Not sure this log will help us much. Not sure if the full version would help either - would need to spend some time learning the app first...

microSD?

[/QUOTE]That looks like the known problem that some combinations and microSD cards don't work reliably. It seems to be a hardware/design flaw of the TF700.[/QUOTE]

I'm using a SanDisk SDSDQUA-064G-U46A Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s that was recommended before but I can try a different card with less capacity but it is not a fast card which was kind of the point. Bit of a bummer really.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Although I do not have or want the keyboard with the extras because for my taste it makes the tf700t to much like a laptop and I have one already. I also was ready to pitch this tablet and get another or use my older one. But with Cromi and the friendly help I received here in this thread I now have a sharp fast tablet and love it! I was in a motorcycle accident over 3 years ago and haven't been able to work since 2010 so I cant afford to get new tablets or even donate like i would like but this is still the best thread on this site. I ask questions that may seem stupid to most tech savvy people because I want to learn more. Some other threads ignore me but here I not only get a answer but I learn. It reminds me of when I was the sysop of a spitfire bbs in the 80s. My tablet is better than the day I bought it who could ask for more. This old cripple gives thanks to all contributors on this thread.

Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nice post! Thank you! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Ahh, the "good 'ol days of BBS's"! I even ran my own BBS for a while - was a lot of fun. I forget the "name" of the BBS software that I used - damn, it's driving me crazy now! Anyone you brought up some fond memories with the BBS comment! :) I still remember that day that I got my own, brand new 2400 baud modem - it's was lightning fast compared to the original 300 baud modem I had! Then, when the 9600 baud modems came out, I thought it would never get any faster than that! Good stuff...

I think one of the BBS was called "Opus", but then I switched to a much newer and "flashier" BBS - damn, I wish I could remember the name of it! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NonoWeber:
Yes, good post, and I agree with you 100%. I use my Tf700t in the teaching environment with all my class notes / manuals / references stored on the tablet.

While I wish it was a bit snappier, it's bucket-loads better with Cromi-X and it sure beats carrying around all those folders full of analog notes which needed to be constantly reprinted. It's quite a hoot to walk into the class room with nothing more than just the tablet.

Thanks again to the devs and contributors.

NanoWeber
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Using the tablet, fully charged in a fully charged dock, should in NO way drain both batteries in an hour. There's something very wrong with your setup if that's the case. Might want to install better battery stats and see where your drain is. Also, there used to be somewhat of a bug with docked transformers. What typically fixed it is to undock, power down. Wait 30 seconds, place back in the dock and power up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gcgspain:
This point here is something that I ask myself everyday. I read plenty of reviews before buying it a year and a half ago and not a single one of them mentioned the freezes and lock-ups when installing anything from Google play. I still can not believe how lucky Asus were, if only one of the many known reviewers had commented on these flaws sales would have been a lot lower.

That only makes the work of the developers in this forum even bigger, thanks to all for the great effort and an even greater ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt11601:
I'm also getting the power drain with Google Now. Turning it off appears to help. Out of curiosity, is this a widespread issue with all CROMi users? I've only seen a few reports in this thread so I'm wondering if some people have battery drain while others don't?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I have never experienced the drain, but honestly, I leave my tablet docked 95% of the time, if not more... Although, even when I try to reproduce the battery drain, I can't make it happen... It's a very strange problem, to say the least...
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Do you have to rub it in??? :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It appears to happen on all Asus transformers and happens on the stock Rom. It has started happening on my TF701 as well now. Again location services and Google now are the culprits. In think Google need to look at their software. A tablet is not a phone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
I have seen this happen on more than just the TF700. I kept location services turned off on a previous tablet I owned and also on my GS3. It pisses off the apps that want that info, but unless it makes an app dysfunctional that I absolutely have to have work, it's not that big of a deal to go to settings and turn it on for a few minutes. Fake GPS by lexa helps keeps those apps happy that need GPS location data. But not necessarily where I really am.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Finally figured out how to get github working from a windows pc! And I had to use a cygwin command line to git pull and git push to get it working :) _that will be so proud :D

What that means is I can start sharing CROMi-X changes now from github and also publish them officially. So 5.4 is under way.

My github for 5.4 is here btw:

https://github.com/sbdags/CROMi-X_DEODEX_5.4

Not sure if it is best practice to put version numbers in the name but oh well - still learning this stuff. Enjoy rooting about ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
I'm wondering what seems to cause this issue a lot-the weather failing to refresh. I love the stuck ASUS weather widgets when working with an ASUS tablet. On my 201 running androwook, it was always fine. For my 300 and 700 running CROMi, it tends to go south on me until a reboot. Anybody have any info on this or what might fix it other than a reboot? For my 300, I didn't care so much since it's basically my XBMC box but my 700 is pretty much my daily tablet and having accurate weather on the widget is nice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Mine doesn't fail. Can you grab a logcat using the app catlog from the PS around the time it fails - we should see some reasons - maybe it's failing to reach the asus servers or whatever weather feed it uses?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Boot loop...should have left it alone.

I had a good install of 5.3+patch, internal, _thatv 7 and decided today to try an install using stock asus kernal just to see how it felt. Loaded ok, but I didn't like the feel, and decided to revert, but not before I updated the Framework Installer. That update caused a reboot into a bootloop. I went back into Twrp 2.6.0 and restored 5.4+patch and it also bootlooped. First time I've ever had one!

Any suggestions would be appreciated. (You think the TF700 found out I was looking at the used TF701s today on Amazon?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
I was going to try setting the tablet to a lower resolution and see if it would make noticeable difference to me in playing O&C but saw the installer no longer has the option for that. I've read enough posts about the cromi control not working for changing resolutions and decided to try the separate kernal installer since it has that option.

This lead to an issue and a few questions.

-The issue was my wifi would not activate. It would have the faded blue as if it is turning on but that is it. This may be explained by next question.

-I didn't want to change my kernal so I selected do not flash a kernal. I also didn't adjust any of the other kernal tweaks and left those unselected. The kernal I normally use is _that v7. Would not installing a kernal have any effect on the wifi module not working?

-If the changing of the resolution works, would I also need to adjust the dpi settings or would that automatically be done with the change in resolution?

-More importantly, is that function of the separate kernal installer still working?

It isn't an important need that I get the resolution changing to work. The game was just a good time waste back when I had my Prime but seems way choppy on the TF700 when I've tried to play. I was going to give it another try and see if they have optimized it any but I'll stick to DOTA2 pc. The 10'' screen can't compare to a 24'' HD screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hegemnon:
I need some help. My asus tf 700 can't start sometimes after reboot. I can see only Asus logo. Many times I reinstalled rom but still not happy. Am I doing something wrong?

I have cromi-x 5.3a and hund ET beta kernel.

After rebooting ( if I am able to do it) is English language coming as default even if I changed it before rebooting.

Still can not play some games and in normal use sometimes get freezing screen.

Anyway, cromi-x is the best of all I have tried. I think there is something with settings.

Can someone help me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Possible data corruption, hard to know without a logcat?

The fix is to format data in twrp before you flash but note you will lose everything on internal so backup first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Still lost in bootloop

OK Guys, I'm lost. Can't get to anything except Twrp or a bootloop when I load of anything. Guess that means a full wipe? Can I get to my Titanium Backup and my Nove Backup through Twrp file manager? (so I can move to ExtSD? Not sure where their located.

Please help.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes use twrp file manager to move stuff. It will be on the sdcard in the titanium backup folder.

Re: Bootloop

I finally found an old backup of 5.2.4 that restored...man, that's scary to be locked into Twrp only! I'm still wondering what corrupted my file? Now I'm hesitant to load 5.3 and the patch. I think I'll just wait for 5.4. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks for listening.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Try it again - but this time grab a logcat and then maybe we can tell you what it was. Most people had no issues with 5.3 and 5.3a so it may be something particular to your set up?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Choosing no kernel won't work I just realised - it deletes the modules and then never adds any back in which is why you have no wifi. Try choosing a kernel for me - that should get you working.

I'll have to rethink the installer if the user chooses no kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
That was it. WiFi worked but it didn't change the resolution of the tablet. Found an app, ScreenSpecs, that will display that information. It still shows 1920x1128. I'll look up the changes to make in the settings script and try that later.

Thanks for the reply.
[Asus Transformer TF700] faustus1005:
So this may have been discussed before, but I'm having a spot of trouble finding it in the thread if it has. I just want to get a few

things clear before I flash cromi as rom2sd.

Basically, after flashing and rebooting as rom2sd, when returning to TWRP will it recognize that we are using the external sdcard? If not, is there a flashable to make this happen, for backups, flashing other zips that aren't already part of the cromi installer, etc?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Why not just remove the no kernel option and add reinstall default kernel option? I like your kernel installer and have reflashed different kernels many times without a problem, I have also chose the no kernel option and realized I messed up and just reflashed the kernel. I personally think its a very good utility that I have never seen offered by anyone else anywhere.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Or the no kernel option should just leave the existing modules where they are ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
True. I am not a programmer so I have no idea how much it would involve. The more I learn about android the more I like. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
For TWRP to act on the external installation you have to flash the rom2sd1.zip from _that's "Dual boot Android ROMs" thread. That will change the nodes so that TWRP sees the partitions on the microSD.

So if you wanted to make a nandroid of your external or wipe the data partition on the microSD, you would boot into TWRP, flash rom2sd1.zip and then backup, wipe, install a different rom etc. Once you reboot TWRP is back to "normal".
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Wahey I got my modded JB 4..3 Asus keyboard working on CROMi-X :D

But the handwriting part force closes. So need to handle that. The handwriting files are 190MB in size so might just provide the English ones for now.

Time to see what other 4.3 apps port over ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
If you use ROM2SD, then what if anything uses the factory ram?

Isn't this a legitimate question?
[Asus Transformer TF700] faustus1005:
I suspected TWRP wouldn't recognize it on its own, good to know the flashable was already there, but it never crossed my mind

to check out _that's thread. :silly: Thanks for the redirect.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Just thinking outside the box here. If the no kernel option, in your scenario, doesn't do anything then what's the purpose for being there in first place, just sayin'. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I suppose for the ones that change their minds after they commit. I have done it once. People who use a lot of their time and effort to make a good product always strive to improve, unlike the big corporations who put out one thing and all to quickly move to the next, chasing profits more than caring about quality.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You might have flashed another kernel not included but now you are forced to flash a kernel.

I deliberately don't include the ET kernels as they require other tweak files which starts to turn the installer into a ROM installer. Because system is not wiped when flashing kernels and tweaks its very easy to leave remnants from other kernels which can cause instability. So my installer also cleans as well which is how the bug started. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] powder man:
thx sbdags, I know older than 5.3a - just in case something wents wrong with that.

I can downgrade immediate to 5.2.4 in case of a problem (because have it on my sdcard, too):victory:

greets pm
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Alright, so I've got my dense cap on today. :confused:

So, If I have a kernel other than what's available through the updater such as one of the ET kernels and I want to flash something different, I need to use the "no kernel" option first to clean out any remnants? I went back and looked through the second post to be sure I had not missed something. If that is the "no kernel" option's purpose, then that might need to me explained or rename it to "cleanup option" or both.

Thanks for putting up with my less than eloquent questions. It's a learning process. :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
:angel: :good:

No the way it works is when you flash the aroma script cleans up certain locations first on /system regardless of what you chose. Which makes me wonder what I was thinking when I built it :) But anyway once you then choose a kernel the correct files get put back with no chance of odd remnants as each kernel has a slightly different set of files.

Obviously I need to trap the no kernel option so that it doesn't do any /system cleaning first ;)
