I'm on the latest update of ES file explorer and it seems to only do the startup thing when I have an SD card in. It opens up every time I turn the screen back on. If I take the card out it doesn't do that.

Edit: oops just saw workdowg's reply.. but yea, only happens with SD card in..

Go back to Cromi-X 5.4?

I tried to restore a nandroid backup of Cromi-X after flashing Cromi-kk with f2fs internal but got the encryption error.

Do I need to go back to TWRP 2.3 _thats and do a system wipe, to use the backup?

Or will I have to reflash Cromi-X 5.4.

Or can I do it all with TWRP 2.7 F2FS?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If you want to continue using f2fs, you need a compatible kernel/ramdisk/preinit for CROMi-X.

If you want to go back to ext4, you have to format it back to ext4 (using a recovery that is not hacked for formatting f2fs) before you restore your backup.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I would love to run KK but with all of its different versions and the different twist and turns that are need to be remembered is just a little to much for me. I think I am just going to stick with Cromix 5.4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
KK's not that hard. All the maneuvers are simply to eek a little more performance out of it. I'm using a straight internal install with fsync and journaling disabled (a Cromi-x thing as well) and getting good performance. The only 'twist' is that you need to do a full wipe as it's a new base.

Do a nandoid and go for it. What have you got to lose?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
So, you are not using data2sd, rom2sd, or f2f?. You have not partitioned your sdcard?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Correct. Not using any of that. I only use my SDcard for installs, downloads and backups (TWRP and Titanium). Everything else is on internal. No special formats.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
Can I just flash the "Flashable TWRP 2.6.3-that3 By that" format internal, then restore my 5.4 backup?

Or will I have to reinstall 5.4 from the install zip file?
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
That is exactly what _that said to do in your post quote minus anything about having to reinstall from zip file.

"If you want to go back to ext4, you have to format it back to ext4 (using a recovery that is not hacked for formatting f2fs) before you restore your backup."
[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
Thanks for pointing that out.

I am assuming you know that TWRP 2.6.3 by _that is not hacked for f2fs, I don't.

I may have to go back to TWRP 2.6.2.0 from Cromi-X OP.

But thanks again for the help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
normal 2.6.3 (_that version) or 2.7 should work fine.

TF300T / CROMBi-kk / _that10 Kernel Won't Boot

Are there any known option conflicts with CROMBi-kk and _that10 kernel?

I've tried multiple ways to install _that10 including using the CROMBi-kk installer, but no joy - first boot gets stuck on the boot animation screen. Note that I had no problems installing and running CROMBi-kk with GEASS kernel.

Stuff I've tried:

Install _that10 with the CROMBi-kk installer (including system, data, dalvik and cache wipe prior to install)

Install _that10 following successful CROMBi-kk install (GEASS first) (including dalvik and cache wipe prior to install)

Other relevant info:

TWRP 2.7.0.1

Bootloader 10.6.1.27.5 (note this is more recent than the recommended 10.6.1.14.10 so I assume OK... or could this be my problem???)

Previously successful install of _that10 with CROMi-x 5.4

Any feedback would be appreciated!

-Pete
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If you downloaded the kernel from my thread and tried to install it without any further modification, then your problem is that the included ramdisk is for CROMi-X and the stock ROM, not for CM-based ROMs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pxbacher:
That _IS_ what I did in my first attempt before I realized _that10 came bundled with CROMBi-kk. In my second attempt, however, I selected _that10 on the CROMBi-kk install tool kernel selection screen and ended up with (aparently) the same result :crying:

I'll try the install again with all of the defaults (default kernel is _that10) later tonight and see what happens...

Thx _that.

How does battery usage work with the dock? It seems that while docked and in use, it's still using the tablet battery first, not the dock battery first. I'm at 68% on tablet battery and 90% on dock. But I'm not sure I started both at 100%. I'll try another better test.

edit...

Well, AS I went here just now to say, "I see what is going on now"... something changed.

The tablet battery icon seems to be indicating charging state sometimes, and the dock battery indicator is going down, but the tablet percentage isn't increasing...

Then, as I was going here to type this, the charge indicator stopped. Now it's going again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] snoopygum:
I've even tried completing wiping to a clean slate and re-install, and let Google re-install the apps instead of restoring a backup. Still no difference.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

I believe the tablet actively uses the tablet battery only. Think of the dock battery as a power source to charge up the tablet battery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pxbacher:
"_that10" in my original post above is incorrect - the _that kk version included in the CROMBi-kk install is v9...

That said, this problem gets weirder... I've run the install 5+ times in the past day, but cannot get the _that kernel to install. But the problem isn't a hung install or boot - it's that the WRONG kernel gets installed! Instead of getting _that, the installer installs GRIMLOCK! I even went as far as wiping all, then reformatting, just to see if TWRP maybe wasn't actually wiping successfully - no joy - I got Grimlock.

Is a stand-alone _that-kk9 install around somewhere?

-Pete
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Are you trying this with ROM2SD? I found that CROMBi-kk didn't install the kernel when choosing ROM2SD. Not sure if this is the intended/expected behaviour, or if it was isolated to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pxbacher:
ROM2SD?

Nope - just a plain old install with (mostly) the defaults.

-Pete
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
You've got me stumped then. I haven't done CROMBi-kk to internal (non-ROM2SD) yet. I thought re-installing CROMBi-KK would install the kernel - will needs others to suggest what next.

TWRP

What's new in 2.7.1.0:

Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.Various bugfixes to backup and restore improvements to USB storage handling added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most casesVarious other bugfixes and tweaks

I want to flash 2.7.1. Where did my fast boot option go? With power, volume up, I see the rck, android, and wipe data options.

Power and volume down, it just stays off. Nothing happens. Black screen. I think I've really screwed something up. Can't boot to os either at the moment.

I see on that screen, "starting fast boot usb protocol" but the fast boot command says "waiting for device"

While in twrp, adb devices says no devices found.

Like sbdags said above this post, you had the volume key reverse...:) The black screen is in the APX mode which using power + volume up. The three icons is your bootloader menu which is already in fastboot mode..

You may want to check your device driver on your PC to see if it is properly installed..

In the fastboot mode, your adb is not working and it is the reason that your device can't be found. You can use your adb when your OS is running.. Hope that it helps...:)

Aroma installer, the f2fs prompts

When I tried F2FS earlier, for a ROM2SD install, I was confused by the aroma installer prompts... F2FS on internal, ext4 on external, or both, etc.

What's "internal" and "external" at that point? What should I pick? If internal is really the internal emmc, why does Aroma care what format internal is for ROM2SD?

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

How long does TWRP take to format internal for extfs?

I see the "formatting data using make_ext4fs" and the animation bar doesn't move or progress. It's been here for maybe 20 minutes. I see also it says something about unable to mount data. Maybe something else is going on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Leave it alone! It can take an hour or more. TWRP does a secure erase - it takes a while. Interrupting it is not a good idea!

For installation purposes external is always your microSD, internal your internal SD. Use the hour TWRP takes formatting to re-read and re-think this ;)

Yes, I'm back in business. I guess it was a 30 minute format overall. I appreciate the details in your post. It's sometimes difficult to understand the basics in custom ROM flashing/device idiosyncrasies. Restoring from TWRP now. Anyone having lag on TF700T with this ROM using sdcard/ROM2SD/DATA2SD, likely had a slower card than they thought. I had a sandisk 'ultra' and the throughput was a meager 7Mbps write/17 read. I have a newer samsung sdcard which is getting 14Mbps write/17-20Mbps read and it's making a significant difference in my perception of the device.

Might just be building 4.4.3 source form lj50036 - or might not :cowboy:

The problem we have been struggling with over the last few weeks is _that made some really cool changes to his kernel to support much more flexible cpu speeds and auto detecting f2fs, rom2sd, data2sd etc. Which work beautifully on _that based kernels! :)

Hardslog also joined the team and none of us can get _that's changes working properly on anything but a _that kernel - hence why the last release stalled.

SO the next release might only have one kernel for now ;) Although grimlock is looking promising it is probably not ready yet.

[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Always flash from a sdcard if you have one. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Here is how it works - and this has been posted a few times in the TF700 threads.

When docked, the tablet will use its internal battery until down to about ~70%, and then the dock will start charging the tablet battery until it hits ~90%, after which is stops charging until the tablet battery falls again to ~70%, at which point it starts charging again. It repeats this cycle until there is no more juice left in the dock battery.

TWRP will let you copy it from a microSD to internal storage as well. It has a built in file manager that allows you to copy files.

However, since TWRP can install directly off the microSD, it's really a moot point to try to copy it over if you're already in TWRP and already have hte microSD installed, so do as loner said.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Put the zip with your fastboot.exe, I assume your using windows

boot the tab into recovery, plug it into the pc, may need adb drivers :silly:

Open your CMD window as admin and type

adb devices

you should get an output similar to this

List of devices attached
0123456789	recovery

if that happens then type this

adb push name.of.file /sdcard

That will push the zip onto your tab in the sdcard directory

Then find it under the install tab in twrp and flash...
