Tips & Tricks

Tips and Tricks

Note if you are flashing from Stock, or you did a wipe data (good for your for listening haha)

you will NOT have root out of the box, CM has made it an optional thing, to enable root do the following:

Enable Developer options, on the About Tablet Screen, tap the Build number 8x

Next Go to Developer options

Then under Root Access, choose "Apps and ADB"

OTA

You will need { This is only what I did }

You can find the download in the download tab..as usual

tf700t on the most current cmb release Not Running ART

Be on Philz CWM based recovery or a 4.4 compatible recovery

Have all .zip files on external sdcard

OTA update zip

Any optional zip you would like to flash

Gapps zip

Enter recovery Don't Format !!!! Go right to install and install the zips in the above order, wipe dalvik, reboot.

You will get a android is upgrading, After your fully boot into rom, let everything simmer for a few minutes, than do a reboot, like I said just what I did!!!!!!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] pceasar:
First?
[Asus Transformer TF700] zhangyi0402:
Thanks for your work. I love this ROM.

But the youtube is broken. The latest CM ROM has repaired it.

Can you do a update? Thanks very much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Youtube

I will look into this asap. thx for the heads up!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] zhangyi0402:
Maybe the below can help your work.

This change fixed the youtube issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sjgieson:
Awesome news thanks for doing this. One quick question, what if anything does CMB do under hood (not cosmetic/UI stuff) to CM base?

CMB 4.3 ran really well on my tablet, I am running CM 11 and it is a bit slugglish. I am going to try the CMB KitKat here soon but curious if it was a different kernel (the Ramdisk tweaks?) etc. that lead to a better running rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
CMB/CM Diff

I am working on getting a change log made for just that!! Like most AOSP/CM based roms, the differences are going to be minimal, right off the bat. If you look at the size of the roms there is about a 4 MB size difference, ours being the smaller of the two.. Thx for your question. I will keep you posted on a change log once we get some of these small bugs out the way... Thx as always lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] bluewr:
So, is this compatible with the Pad?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Pad

I am sorry, im not sure what you mean by pad??
[Asus Transformer TF700] bluewr:
I meant the Keyboard Dock, will all the feature on it work(Keyboard, SD card, USB, trackpad?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] undisputedfb:
Any reason why this ROM only utilizes 2 of the 4 cores?

Edit: nm works now. Great rom
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Dock Function

Hey I dont have a dock, My buddy has one but, we just got this up and running, and have not had a chance to do some testing, If you would like to test it that's would be great, your call... thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] barbarony62:
since this is based on CM, if I want to flash this over "infected" unofficial CM 11 4.4.2 kitkat, can I do a dirty flash, or do i need to wipe the whole thing and factory reset ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Dirty Flahsing

I would recommend that you do a wipe data before flashing. Of course its your call!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Youtube

I am uploading a new updated rom, It should take care of the youtube issue.... if anyone has more issues like this, dont forget about the bug reporting tab on the top of the forum.. I did make one for this problem, so everyone could see what is looks like. Dont be afraid to post in the bug report tab that is a very nice way to let me know there is a issue... Thx as always lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] ghenarys:
Waiting for your new rom.

This one is already a great one for my TF700T.

Thx for sharing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
LOL

Its the same rom just fixed a issue.... Its in the download tab at the top of the page!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] zhangyi0402:
Thank you very much.

Downloading now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Also that (CWM being slower than TWRP) is strange - maybe the different kernels or their settings make a difference here. But for the installed end result there should be no difference, because as you assume:

...the formatting is done by the updater binary. And formatting a filesystem is basically just writing some blocks of data to a block device so the end result must be identical and independent of the way these blocks were written.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
[MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] here are the results of ls -lRZ /system on CWM. TWRP will have to be done tomorrow now. Nothing unusual I can see.

http://pastebin.com/6EZrtMz8

Ah I think paste.bin has truncated the file.... Anyone know why android won't let me select files when uploading on xda or other sites for that matter?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
[MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] - here are the two outputs of ls -lRZ /system for CWM and TWRP.

Guess what - no difference between the two......
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Here it is all.. One step closer to the goodness !!!!!! Huge thx to [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] and [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] and [MENTION=345392]nycbjr[/MENTION]
[Asus Transformer TF700] theetimryder:
CWM vs TWRP

Ok so I haven't flashed this rom with CMW yet so this weekend I decided to give it ago. I flashed phillz recovery from the download files and then cleared cache. I installed the base rom file first and then the OTA then finally GApps. It was Worlds different as far as speed and responsiveness goes. I have no clue what would make such a difference but it sure is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
So installed with TWRP what did it do??
[Asus Transformer TF700] theetimryder:
It worked and that's how I had been using it for several weeks, it was just very sluggish. The screen transitions on the home screen when swiping was very slow and choppy. There opening and closing of apps was delayed and when I had multiple pages open in Chrome it was really sluggish.

It was slower than the stock ICS rom but I used it anyway since I love the 4.4 interface.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
And now on Philz recovery... Can I ask what you think about how it runs???
[Asus Transformer TF700] theetimryder:
I'll play with it more today and post some better testing results tonight. But so far from last night till now it seems to be much faster after it settled in. The home screen transitions are smoother than before and the opening and closing of apps is much more responsive. I'll test chrome more thoroughly and see what comes. The battery seems to drain quicker, but it's probably just from the install. I'll see later.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ali I Hagen:
this:::::::::::::::::::::is:::::::::::::::::::awsome :d
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ali I Hagen:
What kind of room can we expect? sbdags is always been about stability. Your room had 4.4 which seems to be working nicely. That is always about the speed. Is this the final awsome room ever going to be build?
[Asus Transformer TF700] DanRo80:
I have this installed but is telling me that I don't have root access and I can't use any thing that needs root. I installed SuperSU from the Play Store but it won't update the binaries when prompted after opening SuperSU. Does anyone know what could be happening? Thank You
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
SuperSU is built in. Go to Dev settings and enable it. Uninstall your downloaded version first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Read post 3 page 1 of this forum... Thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I guess Im not sure what your on about... Sorry.......room???
[Asus Transformer TF700] DanRo80:
Thank You guys. I assumed that it had it pre-installed but I couldn't find it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
After reading post 3 you cant find it???
[Asus Transformer TF700] bitemeoftn:
I believe he meant to say ROM every time he typed room. That happens to me every time I'm trying to type something on my phone because of the stupid auto correct.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
We don't know what you are talking about. :confused: lol ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] bitemeoftn:
They need to add a like button next to the Thanks lol :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] theetimryder:
You have to enable developer options by going to the "About" settings page and click on the "Build Version" Text about 10 times, then the developer options will appear.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
WOW

Hey all I was just looking at the followers of this project and we are at 13 that is more than CM's official thread.... WOW that is sweet.... Thx for all

the CMB love, and as always thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ali I Hagen:
Sorry for the typo. Of course you are ROM developer not a hotel owner......

Im just curious about what CROMBi-X would bring to us as end users.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
O just you wait... You are going to be very happy with the changes, as I am... You will just have to wait for the juicy stuff!!!!!!!:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
And just a FYI, I am not a developer I am a guy that know a little stuff :p

I am an auto shop owner.... LOL
[Asus Transformer TF700] DanRo80:
Is anyone having issues with Netflix on this rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
It is a known issue with allot of 4.4 roms... I have been looking into this but is not a easy thing to fix.... I am sorry for any trouble this may cause...

Thx as always lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] DanRo80:
That's cool. Thank You for investing your personal time into the rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Thx for installing it on your 400 dollar tablet!!!!!! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] bessertier:
everytime I log into XDA hoping for my forum subscription to change to CROMBI-X

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] pspuser007:
Hello,

I've installed the latest OTA (March 12).

In general the tablet is sluggish :/

Is it because 4.4.2 ?

Should I try flashing another (JB) ROM?

All I need, is buttery-smooth experience.

Thank you :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] pals0007:
root

Did this as instructed, SuperSU says I have root but root checker, TB, or any other root app says I do NOT have root, any suggestions
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Root

Did you do a clean install??

What Gapps are you using??

Turn root off... Than let any app tell you that you dont have root access... than kill all apps, turn root and adb on, than a reboot let me know what that does for you.....Thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] jerry42570:
Native camera not displaying in correct proportion, but that might have been a known issue since 4.3. Camera Zoom Fx works really well. I'm guessing the camera issue is what contributes to your image displaying upside down on Hangouts video calls. The other person also sees you upside down.

This thing is flying. Apps seem to start up faster than I ever remember.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bucket81:
Anybody running this on a TF300T?
[Asus Transformer TF700] alderaan34:
I was wondering if anyone could help me out, I am currently running 4.3 version of this ROM with my TF700, but whenever I try installing this ROM both TWRP and CWM error out. I don't remember what the exact issue is but I think it has something to do with extracting the ROM. I did follow the instructions and did a full wipe before trying to install.

Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
I see going to developers options to get root mentioned in the thread. Does this rom cause you to lose root? Dont want to do that, had a hard enough time rooting in the first place. :). Running CROMi xenogenesis 4.2.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Root

I have not had any more feedback from that member... But I have done enough testing now and had no other feedback of anyone eles having any issues with root...thx as always lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
One more question. Will this work on bootloader version 10.1.6.27.5?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Bootloader

Where did that bootloader come from.. Is it not a stock asus bootloader?

Is that a bootloader for the tf300t??
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
From CROMi xenogenesis rom I believe. I didn't do a manual update. I thought it was a stock bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Boot into your bootloader screen.. What bootloader version does it say in there that you are on.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
Ok, its the correct number there. Lol duh. Thanks for the tutorial.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Bootloader

Yes what does your bootloader say in there?
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
10.6.1.14 sir
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Is there nothing after the .14 ??
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
After the. 14 looks like ". 0-2013514". These old eyes are straining.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Bootloader

Bootloader ver. 10.6.1.14.10 is the version you need to be on... Let me know if I can help get you there....
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Updated Rom

I posted a updated Rom for our tf700t... Camera is fixed!! for now!!!!!:p

Let me know what you think... Lets get some feedback going on, thats how we can make this better.... Thx, the CMB team, and as always lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
lj, did you stop using TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
CWM/TWRP

I did not want to switch but to install 4.4 up till resently you had to have CWM..... I am doing some testing with the new TWRP but I have had some issues so I have not posted that to my fourn yet.. I do prefer TWRP, and will be running that in the future once all the bugs are worked out......
[Asus Transformer TF700] cerebralzulu:
Ok, that explains it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] rmagruder:
Has anyone been able to confirm the ROM's behavior with the Dock? Most specifically, that it works, and that a USB device such as a mouse will work with it? I'm using CM 10.2 on it and the USB in the dock won't work. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] willjohnson:
Havent gotten that far in playing with it yet but battery reporting from the dock seems to be working, usually if that is working most else is too, if i play around with it tonight i will report back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
DEV FORUM

I am ok with everyone posting these kind of questions... I would just like to say, this really is a forum for Dev's to test things out, and report back not is it working, but yes or no that something works or doesn't work... This ROM is a Beta release so there are going to be lots of things untested.. I just want to make everyone clear why this forum is here and its purpose... Thx for all the great feedback everyone.... As always thx lj
[Asus Transformer TF700] bitemeoftn:
This ROM is great! Although like others I don't have an actual dock to thoroughly test everything I've used so far (including camera) has worked great. Keep up the awesome work I appreciate everything you devs do to give us the best from our devices.

One more check before jump ...

Hi,

I've read all this (not too long) thread, looks good !

So, small checklist before I proceed (from CROMi / TWRP 2.6.1.0 / booloader 10.6.1.14.10), thanks to confirm / correct / add :

- All nanos, TB backups, TBupdate.zip and app's specific backups done

- Flash philz_tf700t_recovery_v6.12.8.zip, reboot

- Factory reset, flash cm-4.4-20140114-cmb4.4.2-tf700t.zip, reboot

- Flash cmb_tf700t-ota-20140130.zip, TBupdate.zip, cmb_kkgapps_20131209.zip, reboot

- Restore apps and backups, enjoy

Am I right ?

I'm a hard TF700+dock daily user, expect feedbacks ! :angel:

Thanks

Diego

That looks great... Once in recovery you will get 2 options in factory reset do the one that says going to install new rom... Other than that you look good to go
[Asus Transformer TF700] pspuser007:
Hello all,

Yesterday I've done all the good things, unlocking bootloader, getting access to nvflash, flashing philz recovery and flashing this rom.

I had to select that one? :(

I just wiped data/factory reset as the instructions said in the 2nd post :/

Should I do it again with selecting installing new rom option?

Also, I didn't reboot between flashing the ROM and google apps.

Also, I've noticed a bit of a lag during the homescreen changing transitions (also, changing between Google Now).

And in general there is a bit lag. Is that normal?

Should I probably flash another Kernel?
