I hear what sbdags is saying but it shard for me to think about going back to cromxi. I dont use use rom2sd. The only performance setting is browser to ram. Both versions set as similar as possible. Not running ART

My observations:

I dont think quadrant is any big deal but it can help keep score.

On jb scores were typically around 6200 performance.

On kk scores are not as stable but have reached as high as 6900.

An tu tu scores may be a little higher on kk but not much. On ART quadrant was a lot higher but an tu tu were similar.

So kk is about the same speeds as jb on dalvik. Watching frame rates while running kk, seem to quite a bit faster than on KB.

User experience is a lot different on kk. Its a new tablet. Its been stable. Any program that has had problems were fixed with new install. Old delays are greatly reduced or non existent. Its smoother. I don't see the difference in starting and running programs, when compared to my new tablet, a few weeks ago. We are talking 5 ton10 sec delays gone. Slow Downs while typing, gone.

Haven't done a lot of browsing but does seem faster and smoother. No reboots or unknown shutdowns. I did disable exposed when i ran ART and have left it off. Just felt smoother.

If this existed in jan i would have been hard pressed to justify a new tablet. Unless there is a big surprise, this is a winner and my daily.

Thanks over and over again

Has anyone had any issues with trying to get a microSD card in a microSD-to-SD adapter to work in the SD Slot on the dock?

I've tried 3 different cards, and the ROM see the card but refuses to mount it. Meanwhile Windows has no issue formatting any microSD in the adapter on my computer....

That's normal. Just the debug log.. What is your actual issue - what do you think might be wrong?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Adso3000:
Power button a bit of hit and miss for some odd reason. Sometimes stops working. Forced reboot by long pressing it and it works again - for a while at least. Never had that happen before on any ROM. :confused:

I never considered a CM ROM until I saw that you had put this out. I didn't even hesitate to install this. Thank you!

Sbdags

Whats the difference between your gapps and the one on cm site. Yours seems to be a lot larger. Im running with stock gapps, and cal works as well as everything elsae ive tried. I was trying to get play installed before you fixed gapps and the only way i got it to work was with "stock" gapps.

Thanks

woody
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I'll keep my hi def screen :P

But, it is good to know that that can be done - wonder if you can use more compromising settings, like maybe 1680 * 1050? Get a little more speed but still have a nice large display layout....

DAMN!!! Just started getting this awesome ROM and you're done with it. May I ask why? I understand that everyone has a life outside of doing FREE development, but this ROM has so much potential. If I knew half of what I was doing I would totally pick it up lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:

The project? Why? We were just getting started :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

[Asus Transformer TF700] bitemeoftn:
So this will still be maintained?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Of course it will, sbdags is still the man when it comes to CROMI development.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Let's all calm down a bit please :) This is mine and lj50036's rom. If he doesn't want to do it then I'll have to move onto something else - but please respect his decision if that is what he wants.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I am sorry all, was just hard at making this rom better and just sent a simple PM to a user and it blew up in my face... I am not going anywhere...

I will try to keep myself contained :D thx Josh

Teamwork is a great cuccess!

[MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] and [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]

Both of you create the best ROM so far and have a lot potential for further improvement. I think that the Crombi kk will be the Future ROM for the TF700t and I am very sure that users will appreciate all your time and hard works. Even though I don't have my tf700 any more, I can see other test results showing a very promising ROM. I personally thanks the whole Crombi teams and testers that make an incredible ROM like this one.. Keep up the great works and move it forward....:good:

Thanks,

LMK

Great job

I've got only one issue so far regarding the physical keyboard.

Mine is AZERTY and it is working like a QWERTY :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
I need a clarification can we have kk on the internal also instead of cromi 5.4?

I really appreciate your hard work
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Glad to hear it! Let me assure you: Most users here are up to our ears in your, sbdag's, ...(insert everybody else contributing here) debt! What you guys do is fantastic!! Don't let one blockhead drag you down! We love you!!!!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Currently you can have it on internal but you can't run ROM2SD if you do. _that, lj50036 and I are working hard in the background - we were up late last night and we think we have identified the issue. Hopefully we'll have a robust fix for KK based roms. I'm going to test another hack in a minute :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The short answer is: Yes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] csmoore88:
I have only had my tf700t for a month or so. So far I have opted to stay stock-ish. I am running hunds 3.4.4 and have quadrant at and around 7000 consistently. However, I do have several minor bugs especially during download and heavy data traffic. That being said, I monitored this thread for a couple days and i dove right in. I am currently watching the ring of fire after first install for about five minutes.............six minutes............will report back. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT DEVOTED HERE! I am not alone in saying projects like these are what keep green tinkerers like me in the android game. Great work!!:good::good::good:

Is the Crombi-Kk team thinking of updating the Kit-Kat core on this ROM from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 or whatever the new build is?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Is 4.4.4 out?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
First boot takes about 10 mins I reckon. After that it's fairly quick :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I second this. I have been amiss not putting lj50036 in my thanks. My Tf700 was all but retired. You gave me and my infinity a transfusion. I am more excited about this than my new note.

Data2SD not an option with TWRP 2.7.x.x installer

Sorry if this is a dumb question... I did not see DATA2SD as an option during the install via TWRP. (ROM2SD is a choice) How do I use TWRP and choose a DATA2SD installation?

Impressive work... I don't know how you can do this plus anything else in your life :)

Thanks!

Gene
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's hard lol. But don't forget guys it's not just me, lj50036 is constantly working away in the background on the source and putting all the project and github stuff in place. Someone convince him to get a donation button :)

Data2sd is on hold at the moment as we have a few issues to iron out to get it working.

You know his we set the fps max limit at 90fps, I think we set it too low. Quadrant is maxing out at 90 in most tests ;) Time to try 120fps.

I haven't tried ROM2SD yet but was going to take the plunge tonight. But on reading the Crombi-Kk instructions I would have to revert to Cromi-X on the internal drive first. Install rom2sd then upgrade back to Crombi-Kk, is this still the only way? The reason I ask is that things can improve fast around here. :D If that's still the only way to do it, I may wait ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes you must have CROMi-X on internal for now. However you can nandroid backup crombi-kk, install CROMi-X to internal, then restore crombi-kk to external by flashing rom2sd1.zip first. Then you can either just reflash crombi-kk as rom2sd over the top and you will keep your settings or use that's data-intmedia-preinit zip file.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION] - isn't this what you were talking to me about yesterday? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/speed-up-your-aging-nexus-7-2012s-storage-with-f2fs/

And is that device also made by ASUS, perchance? 0_o
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Yes, _that and Hund already patched their kernels for the f2fs...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] csmoore88:
I started this endeavor running TWRP 2.6.3.1 but was unable to get it to flash. I used the flashable zip from _that and voila!! success. It took two consecutive ten minute boots to initialize but after a little while it is running smoothly. Ok, now to the bugs. First, my power button is intermittent, sometimes will not force reboot or even lock the screen, it is as if it is not even there. Second, I keep getting error codes from the play store, "unknown error code during application install" but only roughly half the time. Any idea as to why? I apologize if these issues have been addressed, I saw a similar post regarding the power button but did not notice any such play store issues. I hope my input helps the further development here as I truly am glad to be part of this. Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Did you let the system settle for 10 minutes before using it as recommended? If so try turning it off for 30 minutes not sleep but power off it helped me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] csmoore88:
I did leave it alone to stabilize. I left it for almost an hour before I had a chance to get back to it. I am still settling in to the new user interface and expect some improvements soon. I have not started any init.d scripts or other tweaks. I cannot get apps to restore via titanium either. I intend to spend some time with it once I get off work. Thanks for the reply.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I had the same trouble with titanium, I went ahead and reinstalled everything from play store including titanium. I didn't really want to but it turned out well. Seems titanium will work with ARM.

Firstly and mostly, THANKS [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] for the outstanding job with the ROM!

sbdags I've been your ROM ever since the first version of CROMi and have really loved what you have done!

[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION], if you will humor me, what is it that you are doing to get that kind of performance? I saw the quadrant scores that sbdags has posted on the opening page and was WOW'ed.

I've seen the high scores for CROMi-X also, but the best I've ever been able to achieve is 6,000. On CROMBi-kk i'm back down to 5500. I've tried the various setting from the performance threads in the forum, but they have made little difference.

I'm running RAM2SD on CROMBi-kk and it seems like it is less of a performer (what I'm getting now) than on CROMi-X. I'm sure it is something I'm doing wrong, or just have not done yet.

Any hints or direction would be most appreciated!

Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmgnet:
Please don't quit this ROM! For the first time having this tf700t, I thought, "finally, everything I wanted in this device is possible. AOSP, no performance bottlenecks... "

This will easily get me years more out of this thing, where as two months ago, I was ready to give up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
Thanks!

sbdags and lj50036, thank you so much for all your efforts!

I never gave CM much chance when I got my tablet - jumped on CleanROM pretty early on and then have almost always used Cromi - so I never realized some of the really cool features on CM. For others like me who haven't ventured into CM before, I just wanted to say that I really like the double-tap status bar (on top of the screen) to turn off the display, and slide your finger across the status bar to change screen brightness (I think you need to turn these features on in Settings->Interface->Status bar).

Thanks again! :D

[Q] CROMi-X on Internal only *IF* running ROM2SD with CROMBi-KK

.

I just want to be 100% clear. *IF* I am running ROM2SD, CROMi must always be installed on internal and CROMBi-KK must always be installed on External.

If I was NOT going to use ROM2SD then CROMBi-KK would just go Internal.

[Q] Maybe should be in DEV thread .... will there be a way to switch it around someday ? CROMi-X on External and CROMBi-KK on Internal ?

Thanks guys !

.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmgnet:
Funny for the last post! I came here to ask a variant of this. If I put cromi-kk on internal will the rom2sd boot work? Maybe I don't care too much. Need to find a window to back up my full internal cm11 and just wipe it all out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] csmoore88:
I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I like to tinker. I learned recently (from [MENTION=4931250]Hundsbuah[/MENTION] and others on his kernel thread) that there are two different hardware variants for the same device. Mine (as luck would have it :( ) is the slower variation thereof. I was able to get it running smoothly at 1850 by making some tweaks in the init folder under the cpu1,cpu2, and cpu3 settings. All of this I learned from [MENTION=561606]luciusz[/MENTION]en. The reason I am replying here is that the common denominator in my low quadrant scores 5500 or less is themes, different xposed modules, and old data not trimmed. I uninstalled some of those apps, kept my minfree levels to a high free RAM count, and used fstrim to trim my data partition twice every 24 hours. I eventually got consistency between 6750-7250 on STOCK ROM and hunds kernel. So.......just mess with these things and the scores will go up. Hope this helped, sorry to be so verbose I cannot put anything plainly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] karlgo:
Thank you for the fast reply. I've got a feeling I too have fallen into the slower hardware variant. Not much we can do if that is the case.

Your words are encouraging, and thank you for expanding on what you've tried. I will give it a shot. I too have tried to stay away from a lot of fluff and eye candy - running lean and mean. After all run the apps more than look at the device on the shelf :).

I've read [MENTION=561606]luciusz[/MENTION]en threads also, and tried the tweaks, that is why I felt prompted to inquire with you. Now with CROMBi-kk, the filesystem of course has changed, now it will be interesting to see if he or someone else provides and update for those like me who know Linux, but just are not fully experienced under the hood of Android.

It was not too lengthy at all! It did help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
You need to offer us more info on your setup. I am hitting 9,400+ on my CROMBi-KK install, *BUT* I am running _Thatsv8 Kernel, and I have Data Journalling turned OFF and Fsync also. I Am also using ART not Delve Cache, Oh and Force GPU rendering. I also test it in performance mode. *BUT* be aware all these tweaks can cause data lose if certain condition's are met, but I have never had any trouble ...yet.

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF700] karlgo:
Thanks [MENTION=2382301]Thibor69[/MENTION] for your reply as well.

I know that specific direction can't be provided without specific information. Both of you have given me some really good direction. I've been hesitant to run off journaling and FSYNC, due to the risks. I didn't know enough about the GPU rendering to try it in the past. I've just reinstalled and I'm going to try HUNDS kernel with the 20140309 release to see how it performs. On my next re-install I'll try tuning a few of the other options off. Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Quozl:
Firstly thanks to the dev team, always nice to see the development moving along.

Secondly coming over from Cromi X, the install went perfectly, nice work.

Only issue is I'm running Trebuchet launcher and I only have two pages with which to place apps & widgets.

I've searched and for the life of me I can't find where to enable more pages. Cromi X used to have 5 I think with the stock launcher, is there an option I'm missing somewhere to add more pages to put apps and widgets on ?

Also the other one is if I plug in my USB ethernet adapter it no longer works where it worked fine with CromiX. Not a big deal just wondering if it's a known issue or limitation of CM based ROM?

Thanks for any info

Cheers Q

Edit: Okay seem if I add widgets Trebuchet will create a new page if I want by just dragging the widget right or left. Also while no ethernet symbol is shown in the task bar it ethernet connections definitely connect & work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Hey friend - Just be sure to please do a FULL NANDROID BACKUP with MD5 checksum. Then verify that that backup works before you try any major tweaks. I like to also save a working copy of my TWRP backup on my PC for safe keeping in case my SDCARD got messed up which HAS happened to me in the past. I wish TWRP had some option to backup straight to PC ...

Good luck and let us know if you have any specific questions regarding a CROMBi-KK tweak ... I think it is ok to ask about CROMi and ROM2SD also in here ?? as most all of us have used them all. I use _thats v8 kernel and love it, but hunds is very fast also.. Sooooo many threads to follow now.

I have huge issue where tablet is unusable after flagging latest build and gapps....

I tap Ok and this just pops up over and over
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the complement..:) Normally, I try something that other users don't even want to touch. I optimize everything until I find the sweet point and move to the next tweak..

You must have the fsync enable so your I/O is low on Cromi X. You may want to use ART on Crombi kk to obtain a high score. Many little improvements will add up...:)

Yes, if you are using dalvik on the Crombi, the performance is less than Cromi. However, if you switch to ART on the Crombi. You will see a big improvement on the CPU score.

Can you tell what do you want to achieve with your device and post your quadrant score up so I can see what area you may want to improve to have a better user experience...:) Let me know what you really want to do...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Had my first data corruption issue with CROMBi-kk this morning. Admittedly, I was messing around in the command line trying to debug some issues with wifi vs ethernet connection. When I disabled wifi (netcfg wlan0 down), my tablet reset. It came back up without any issues so I did not think much of it at that time.

On my way to work this morning I fired up a video to watch and it was really choppy, and unlike any experience I've had with the tab before. I performed a restart, and after boot, I got a black screen and a message that said gapps is not responding. I did another restart and this time, it came up, but with the first-time experience screens. Also, calendar storage stop alerts were frequent.

I reflashed the ROM as well as the latest gapps, but the error message persisted, as did the first-use sequence in android. All my homescreens were reset, but my settings were all intact, as was my data. After several reboots, the calendar storage issues did not go away, so I installed google calendar and after the next reboot, I was error free.

I'm not surprised I got corruption after the unexpected shutdown (journaling and fsync off), but was concerned that the reflash did not correct the calendar issues. Thought it would be good to report this experience and remind everyone of the "perils" of disabling these functions and to do frequent backups!

[Asus Transformer TF700] bessertier:
hmmmmm in a bit of a pickle and either my search methods have seriously fallen behind or there is not much documentation for our tablet. I am getting a notice that there is an error in /data/clibration in twrp.

I was on Philz recovery from CMB and tried flashing the march 9 build of CROMBi-kk and the March 12 Gapps. On the first boot (after the settling) my launcher was having all sorts of issues so I rebooted, but I still had the issues, basically none of the launcher functions worked, but the app/settings pull down shade was fine. I re-downloaded the ROM and Gapps and grabbed TWRP 2.7 as well, flashed TWRP and rebooted. Then I installed the ROM and Gapps daisy chained, but noticed that there was a notice in the terminal something to the effect of "e: unable to mount /data" so I tried to mount it manually in TWRP but when I click the check box for data the system freezes for a moment and then continues, but wont check the box ( also noticed in terminal the unable to mount message appears again)

Today (after the battery died last night) I am not getting the unable to mount issue, but I do have "E: error: I/O error" and "E: error opening "/data/calibration/" and flashes say they are successfull, but the boot freezes at the 4 penguins with the starting text. Then it reboots :(

I am thinking about working through the unlock/root/cutom rom install steps to see if anything gets that working again... while I would like the data that is on there, I do not believe anything is vital that I wouldn't wipe it clean.

Anyone else have suggestions, or ran into this problem with TWRP or CROMBi-kk?:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:

Tried amazon prime today and it said I need to install Flash. Even though it's installed, it does not load. Going to flash settings only has a gray screen, no controls. Has flash support been removed from KitKat altogether? Or is this a CM11 issue?
