Just checked - it looks like the stock email app doesn't support "push" for Gmail... I knew there was a reason that I used the Gmail app! :) My understanding is that, besides receiving emails faster, that "push" accounts are also better for battery life.

Just for a test, I'll try setting up Gmail via the "every 15 minutes" sync and see if I still get the delays with the stock app (although, I do not have any delays with the Gmail app on any of my other devices though).

However, I do use the stock email app for my corporate email and don't have the delays though, so who knows...

Nobody else has delay issues and/or app-not-responding issues with the Gmail app? It's definitely not 5.4 specific - I've had these issues for some time now. And I re-install from scratch often - at least every other version of CROMi-X.

I'll also do some testing with and without my SD card installed, just in case it plays any role in this.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah yes 15 min sync. That's good enough for me!
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Is anyone else here having a problem with Google account sync today? I just wiped data & reloaded my tablet (cromi-X 5.4) -- my primary account will not sync, but my secondary Google Apps account does. My accounts were syncing before I wiped the tablet.

I see no indication that Sync is down.

First re-install ... I wiped everything in TWRP v 2.6.3.1 > Wipe > Advanced Wipe.

Second re-install ... I wiped all internal data (Wipe > Format Data). The full monte!

I'm concerned something didn't install correctly. :confused:

Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I have always used the Gmail app on the transformer and never had any of the problems you describe - on any rom.

Did you see the screen shot on the tf00 CMB froum!!!!!! MMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Ahhhh a CMB/CROMi mutant - interesting! :highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION] I'm ready to at the very least read and learn about it....

It might very well be. But I downlaoded that file 4 times and every time from that single host I keep getting a different MD5 than you posted. But all 4 files had the *same* md5, so at that point I figured that my browsers / DLM could not be making the same mistake multiple times. Guess I was wrong.

Delays how, as in receiving mail compared to on your computer? Or delays in synchronizing folders, sending mail, etc?

FWIW, I've had massive problems with Google Voice on my phone, but email seems to be working perfectly fine on both phone and tablet (using GMail app for all Google accounts on both devices).

I'm connected on all 6 accounts here.

What apps are you installing and leaving out when installing cROMi-X?

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Excuse my ignorance - is CMB a Cyanogen Mod ROM, or is it something else?

And by other comments in here, does this mean you're developnig a hybrid of CM and cROMi? This sounds interesting....
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
When I say "delays", I mean just clicking on different emails in the left hand column, sometimes it'll just sit there after clicking on a different email (without updating the right-hand side of the screen) until I get an App Not Responding message... I don't get the App Not Responding message every time, but I do get it frequently.

I only have one gmail account defined as well. Tried without the MicroSD card inserted and that made no difference. I don't have this issue with the stock email app with my corporate email, but then again, those emails are nearly as "graphical" as my gmail emails. I use a bluetooth mouse most of the time, and sometimes the mouse cursor won't even move for a few seconds during these "delays".

I'm going to set up gmail through the stock email app and see what happens now...

EDIT: Just setup my Gmail account in the stock email app and it's way faster - no delays (pauses when going between emails) at all. I just wish it supported push email like the Gmail app does. You used to be able to setup or gmail account via push in the stock email app by setting it up as an "Exchange" account and using "m.google.com" as the email server, but that doesn't work anymore... Push is just so much easier on the battery (and delivers emails much faster)... I'll keep testing some stuff...

[MENTION=2155137]johnlgalt[/MENTION] - do you also have the stock email app running for Exchange email or do you just use the Gmail app? Maybe it's only an issue when using both apps at the same time?
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Nothing too unusual. You gave me an idea to reflash with all defaults in case I did something wrong.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It's dark themed CM11 rom - indeed: Very interesting :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
CMB is based on Cyanogen Mod 11 snapshot M2, but is skinned dark. sbdags, _that, and jj50036 have been working to make a CROMI-X variation of CMB, with performance tweaks, one of _that great kernels and asus apps from the tf701. I have gotten most of the tf701 stock apps cm11 compatible, and have supplied sbdags with the apks. The final result will be a cm11 based rom, with cromi-x like performance and tf701 stock apps.

Our choices for kitkat are really opening up, with PAC releasing a kitkat rom for us tomorrow, and CROMBI-X coming soon.

ps If any dev wants my apps to make a flashable zip, to use with any kitkat rom, send me a private message.
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Full data wipe & reload using all default selections ... my main gmail account isn't syncing. Must be a Google problem - will leave it alone a while.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Thanks for your contribution!

ROM2SD just became a whole lot more interesting again!

But guys! CROMBI-X and CROMi-X????? That's going to create havoc! How about:

KitKat CROMi-X or KKCROMi or CROMBi-KK or CROMBI-M (for mutant) or CROMBI-Q (for quilt) or FROMBI-XK (FrankenROMI-XKitkat)

LOL
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I'm assuming that you've already cleared your cache in the GMail app?

I like dark themed everything - now if I had the time enough to learn how to skin every single facet of a ROM to use the RGB color 158/180/255 (My choice for a very nice baby bluish color) I'd be a rockstar in my own mind :P

M2 == kitkat? Hmmm. I just read when browsing in Tapatalk that M2 had been upgraded to M3 (or was that a particular developer who had upgrade dhis ROM from M2 to M3? Have to go look again).....

SuperCalliFragiListicExpiAlliDocious-KitkatStyle.

Yeah.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Yes cm11 has been upgraded to snapshot m3, but cmb stable is based off of the m2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
How about on a computer, can you access all facets of your Google account that you use, like G+, Hangouts, GMail, etc?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I had a flashable zip for F2FS on Data2sd. It works exactly as data2sd but it is using F2FS instead of ext4. So you may need to prepare your external SD with fat or exfat for your first partition and F2FS for your second partition. Then you just flash the F2FS-Data2sd zip file....:) Let me know if you have your sd ready or any further helps to prepare your sd...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Yes, outside of the tablet, my account is working fine - even here on my phone. I am re-downloading the ROM in case something is corrupted; although, I always let TWRP check the signature when flashing.

Maybe wiping data broke something this time. I've been using the DEODEX ROM for a few months now, in case that matters.

Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
OK, I'll go have a look at the Data2SD thread and see how to prepare my microSD.

I only use the DEODEX ROM period.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I'm supporting the devs of ZOMBiE-X CROMBi-X and they are using my kernel, but other than that I have nothing to do with this mutation. :angel:
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmgnet:
Sdbags, fwiw, if you can make an AOSP based ROM which runs from or runs apps from sd card, I'll be switching to it. I really like 4.4 ui, and find it terrible that I can't really use the sd card.

I'd be happy to be a beta tester.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm running it now as ROM2SD ;) It's CM11 based. I also have Multi ROM to test on the TF700 as FM69 built us a special TWRP that allows infinite ROMS to boot as multi rom. And on top of that _that also built a version of TWRP that runs his kernel ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
CROMBi-X sounds great! :) The muiti rom looks very useful also. How did my apps work? Did they all work in CROMBi ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
It just keeps getting better and better.:good::D
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I think we will rename this to CROMBi-kk before final release just to take away some confusion. It is a fusion of CM11/CMB and CROMi-X running Android 4.4.2

Currently in private beta ;)

Before you all get too excited - whilst it runs well it is still slower than CROMi-x but hoping to get some more performance tweaks in ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I like ZOMBI-KK - would go well with the dark theme I think... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Lol - cool name but not going to happen :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Assuming a full wipe will be required since it's a CM base? Any continuing issues with TWRP vs CWM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
So much to do and so little time....

I'm assuming a few things here:

The new Fusion ROM you're working on gets its own thread

If you plan on moving cROMi-X up to version 6 (if that ever happens) that you'll start a new thread also (almost 500 (!) pages here now, way too much reading....

The custom TWRP allowing infinite multiple ROMs needs a Class 10+ card to run effectively...

That I can get in on a beta testing of the new fusion ROM sometime soon?

That you'll still use the link I sent ya to auto upload newer ROMs to automatically mirror them in my MF account :P

Seriously, way too much information overload right now. Since our devices are not gonna see KitKat without external development (sad to say) I'm all for the fusion ROM - and I like the idea of cROMi-kk / cROMi-KK or whatever you decide to name it (I would nto be opposed ot cROMi-CWB-Fusion, or even cROMi-Fusion, too).

If you load ROMs off the microSD, then I am assuming that you cannot also do Data2SD at the same time? Or, would it be more of a case where you make smaller partitions for data (so only having, say, a 32 GB partition for Data (who needs that much for data anyway?) and the rest going toward ROM storage (out of a 64 GB card)?

So many options, so many things to mull over - like what I am going to buy as a replacement tablet now that I am sick of ASUS and their shabby Flash usage.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Is there a more thorough wipe than TWRP's Wipe Data option? I am looking for a nuclear option here.

Since my first factory reset and subsequent data wipes early this morning , I have not been able to get my primary Google account to sync (only on this TF700). I have installed 5.4 DEODEX and ODEX a few times to try and resolve this.

Unless Google responds to my support request about potential server conflicts, i guess i have to keep assuming something on the tablet is causing the problem.

Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Under wipe, selected advanced wipe. Tick off everything except for Micro SDcard. Also, copy your ROM of choice to the microsd, or you will not be able to reinstall the OS! That should burn you back to start.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I am really enjoying my Asus now, but if I was in the market for a new tablet and had the money....

http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/24/sony-xperia-z2-tablet-unveiled-hands-on/

I would take a serious look at this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Thank you. Did that several times today. Looks like I'm screwed (haha), unless the problem is on Google's end.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
try this: this says tf300, but worked on my tf700 and windows 8 worked just fine
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You could try to format your data partition....:) You may need to back up all your personal stuffs some where else beside your internal sd, hahaha....:laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Since he has already wiped data multiple times, I'm betting all backups have already been made, and a true data format would (now) not really be destructive, correct?

But, I am not sure why after full wipes it is just his Google account that is not authorizing....that seems ... odd, at best.

[MENTION=3918753]butcherbird[/MENTION] - when you tried on a computer, did you just open a browser that already had your Google credentials stored, or log in fully from a browser with none of your Google credentials stored? And I know you said it is working on your phone - but (and this may be a problem if you need the account working and don't want ot chance losing it on your phone) but did you actually remove the Google account from your phone and then try to add it back?
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
I never logged out of my account on the PC or phone, and yes ... I've been apprehensive about doing that. An hour ago, I turned off 2-step verification jic the problem was linked to that - not a solution.

I guess I will log out of everything & see what happens.

I pay for Google Music ... thought maybe I'll call their support team since I can't log in to my Music service. At this point, I kind of hope this is an issue on Google's end.

Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] slbp180:
I'm not too sure if this syncing problem is on Google's side or not..

Just tried doing a clean install of 5.4 (coming from CM11, full wipe, including manual format of system & data) and for some reason my personal gmail account (with 2-step verification) won't sync, but my work email (which is a managed gmail account) will sync without any errors.

I tried removing my personal account and adding it back in, but once I get past entering the 2-step verification, the tablet does a soft reboot (once just went back to the boot animation, another time had the four Tux's before the boot animation).
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Ah, so maybe I'm not the only one.

My Google Apps account & other Gmail address both sync perfectly, too. I don't have the reboots, though. Just a constant failure to sync & "unable to communicate with Google servers" responses when trying to log in to the Play store, Google Music, etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Just do it on your PC not the phone - don't want to lose that since it could be vital to have at least one device working correctly.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Welp, I guess I should have read your reply before replying back to butcherbird lol...

I have 5.2.3 that you can download and try installing and see if it makes a difference. I have both ODEX and DEODEX, let me know and I'll PM you the appropriate link (It's my paid MediaFire account, super fast, and I'll make it a direct link so you shouldn't see all the hoopla about making you join or whatever...)

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Actually, I'm in a good position to try this myself, so I'll just go ahead and wipe my own machine and see if I can duplicate your problems - I have 2 standard Google accounts and 4 Google Apps accounts, so.....

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

Or, maybe not - just thought of something. I have TFA enabled as well, but for my Android devices I use a application specific password that I generated in my Google account. have you two tried that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
PM sent [MENTION=2155137]johnlgalt[/MENTION]

Thank you for the offer. Will gladly try it out.

Either ODEX or DEODEX is fine by me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
PM replied - enjoy your testing :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Thank you for the download, John!

Fortunately for CROMi-X, my Google account still does not sync. Maybe it IS a Google problem, after all. [edit] Then again, slbp180 has the same issue. [/edit]

I will try to push this through Google Music support in the A.M. since they at least have to hear me out as a paying customer. Will post here if anything fruitful comes of it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I can't see it being a Rom problem. Everyone would have it. Have you tried a simple wipe data on Google play and play services, log out of Google account and reboot. Then log back in?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
CROMi-X 6.x is already taken. That's CROMi-X for the TF701

For ROM2SD the card needs to have 3 partitions, for DATA2SD it needs to have 2 partitions, so - no not at the same time. But on ROM2SD /data is on the card anway... ;)

Blame Google for that one - it's Android not supporting flash anymore
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Nand flash, aka internal storage, not adobe flash

Sent from my Infinity using Tt Pro
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm considering the same thing - the fact that Asus used such slow flash memory in their top-of-the-line device is absurd. The problem for me is that I've grown so used to having the integrated keyboard dock (with battery), that it's really tough to find a true replacement (I will NOT purchase a tablet that doesn't have some sort of keyboard-dock option - thats what I use my Nexus 7 for). My TF700 is more of an Android-based laptop...

Does anyone know of ANY other brand of device that has a keyboard dock that functions like the TF700 dock?

Thankfully, [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] has actually made the device usable, but the TF700 is a few years old now and not receiving any further official updates, so it's time to think about moving on... And Asus is NOT at the top of my list! :)

Sorry for the completely off-topic post!

By the way, Gmail seems to be working fine for me. [MENTION=2155137]johnlgalt[/MENTION] - have you tried adding your Gmail account to the stock email app, just to see if it works? Just curious....
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Holy crap ... that worked! Thank you, sbdags & everyone!!! :good:

Since [MENTION=2868472]slbp180[/MENTION] is stuck with a reboot problem, I don't know if this is a solution for him. However, for the record, I...

went to Settings > Apps > All ...

tapped the "Clear Data" button for Google Play Store, Google Play Services & Google Music apps.

Deleted the account.

Rebooted & re-added the Google account.

.

Everything synced!

Time to upgrade to 5.4 again...

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

The next closest options, for me, are a light Windows laptop with a 4th Gen Intel chip or an iPad with a backlit keyboard dock. My brother's employer gives him the iPad for use in the cockpit, & it handles most of his mobile office needs, as well. He always has the iPad + kb dock (the dock does not charge the tablet; however, they both have good battery life). I hate to say, I'd have to put iPad near the top of the list because I too must have a decent keyboard and there are many 3rd party keyboards made for the frickin' iPad.

I was going to give the Asus Duet TD300 a shot, but I've read that Google blocked Asus from releasing it. wtf? That would have been the 3rd and LAST chance for Asus.

Is there a way to remove the "Picasa Web Albums" sync from the Google account setup at ROM setup?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I removed picasa web but it doesn't remove the sync. I'll have another look to see where it is stored.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
It usually comes with the gallery app... In the past I had to flash separate gallery apks on my phone to get access to it but now with the new G+ photos app, it's redundant :)

UPDATE : Confirmed - removing Gallery with TB removed Picasa from Google Sync account
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Argh - bloody hell. So I reverted to pure stock to verify that my dock was having issues, but now I'm trying to go back to CROMi-X. Only when I boot with power + Vol down, I don't get a USB icon, I get RCK, Android and Format Data.

Now what, do I need to flash ICS back on here to accomplish getting back to CROMi-X?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
On the jb bootloader you don't get a USB icon, it happens automatically. Flash twrp from fast boot, flash my bootloader package to take you to the latest bootloader and twrp and then reboot. Back into twrp and flash the ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm that makes it a bit more problematic as the gallery app is Asus'. If I replace that then I have to mess with the camera as well. Probably best to leave it alone and users can disable the sync if they don't want it. I mean it doesn't cause any harm....
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Cool,

I never use the stock camera in any case - got so many other I'd rather use... Will add it to the list of apks I remove before flash :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
So, turn on tablet with Vol up + power, then connect to the computer and start the fastboot process to get twrp on there?

I can see "sending 'recover' (8070 KB)..." in my command prompt, and

I can see "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" on the tablet.....

What bootloader are you coming from?

You could start this process by flashing the latest ASUS Stock blob first .....
