How does that old saying go? "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."

Two people out of thousands that are using/evaluating your's and sbdag's Rom says to me "sour grapes". When they don't get their way in the sand box, they start kicking sand in your face. I would suggest they both hold their breath until they turn blue and move on to other endeavors.

I've been hanging around these forums for going on three years and one has to develop a thick skin to get past the occasional detractor. And trust me, I have accumulated a few of them including a few devs. :p What you and sbdags are doing is nothing short of phenomenal. I would never be one to bad mouth another developer's work on a Rom for the TF700T. What the recognized dev over on the CM servers is doing is awesome, but if I had a vote on which version was up there, it would definitely be yours. Fortunately, what you two are doing is outside their specs and I say Thank Goodness for that!

My sincerest thanks to both of you!

To run this ROM2SD with _that v9, do we need to flash _that v9 onto the Internal CROMI-X installation first?

I seem to remember that internal & ROM2SD kernels needed to be the same?

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

OK, so I went for it and installed 3/22 version ROM2SD with _that v9.

At the end of the install it says

AROMA Installer Finished...
Updating partition details...
E:error opening '/data/calibration'
E:error: I/O error

along with the blue SUCCESSFUL message.

I rebooted and it's Bootlooping on the 4 penguins screen :(

Not sure if it's related to my Kernel question for Internal needing _that v9 too?

looks like some kind of SD Card corruption.

flashing 3/16 (no Nandroid :crying: ) did the same error on install & bootloop with the 4 penguins screen

formatted data and 3/22 installed, booted, and is working. Re-installing Apps, etc.

About Tablet is saying Kernel is _that v8, which is what I have on Cromi-x 5.4 Internal, so it looks like I need to flash v9 on the Internal installation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Give me just one second......:D

Cromi-x installed internal thatv8

Install the 3/22 CROMBi-kk as ROM2SD

In aroma dont flash a kernel than after the ROM and Gapps have installed

flash thatsV8 kernel to the install..

Than you will have thatv8 on both internal and external..

Just a fix for now....As there needs to be a flashable zip made of thatv9 :D

Crombi-Kk was smoother for me after I went from the Nova launcher to the Nova pro launcher after I saw Nova launcher was on the list of not working with kit kat and Nova launcher pro was on the list as working. Although Nova seemed to work, Nova pro took a lot of the jerkiness out and it ran smoother.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
For the moment, it actually seems to be working fine with the V8 on Internal and V9 on the CROMIBi-kk on Rom2SD (and V8 showing in the About Tablet section of Settings).

Do you recommend I flash _that V8 on the KK install on ROM2SD? I'm going to run with it for now unless things crash & burn :good:

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Just in case anyone wonders why that zip doesn't exist yet: I didn't release -that9 yet - the ROM includes an intermediate version from my github.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Also there is MASS confusion about ROM2SD and Kernels.

Let's clear a few things up:

Android uses a linux kernel. The kernel is an interface layer between the hardware and software on your device. A kernel blob file is made up of a linux image file which contains 2 parts. These can be spilt out. You have the zimage and the ramdisk.

The zimage is the hardware to software bit and the ramdisk is in essence a series of scripts that tell the kernel how to load the rom, configure memory, cpu speeds and load driver modules etc (and a lot more)

You can only have ONE zimage installed at a time but with ROM2SD you can have multiple ramdisks (each for the particular rom you are using).

Let's say you install CROMi-X internally with _that v8 - you have the Asus _that v8 kernel (zimage) and the Asus _that v8 ramdisk.

Now you want to install CROMBi-kk to ROM2SD with that v9. What happens during the installation is that the kernel (zimage) is not actually flashed so the device is left on Asus _that v8 (for internal compatibility) but the ramdisk for CM11 _that v9 is extracted and saved onto your ROM2SD /system partition.

When you boot the device the pre-init script kicks in and it looks to see if it can see a second ext4 partition setup on the micro sdcard. If it can it then cleverly copies the previously stored ramdisk over the top of the existing one - fusing the Asus _v8 ramdisk with the CM11 _that v9 ramdisk. In this way the _that v8 zimage can correctly boot into both roms. The last part of the puzzle is the kernel (zimage) and rom itself must have a matching set of wifi and bluetooth modules that were compiled from the kernel build process. You cannot mix and match modules (something to do with symbols) so my new installer now copies the modules from your internal setup (_that v8) and injects them into the rom2sd setup for compatibility. Up until now I used to provide loads of modules and try and match them but there are certain scenarios where the kernel and rom2sd flash don't always match and you would end up losing wifi and bluetooth.

The device will always boot rom2sd as long as the card is detected. Boot with the card out and it is now forced to boot internally.

So yes we could do with an updated _that v9 but don't worry too much about it as with rom2sd you still have v8 being picked up as that is the kernel originally flashed with internal.

Hope that makes sense! :) I'm sure _that will correct any mistakes I have made.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Just dirty flashed the new 3/22 version last night. Once it booted up (getting nervous as it was in the animation for a looooong time), I got an error that Secure Settings had stopped. I thought maybe that I had to re-grant SU permissions to it. I went into settings > security to see if it still had administrator privileges, and when I clicked on security, the setting app crashed. I repeated this 2 more times, then opted for a reboot.

Since then all seems well and the tab is running as before. No material changes with _that v9... and quadrant is just about equivalent as v8 for me at around 9100+.

Thanks again (and again and again) to [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]. Love the sustainability of this tablet -- and that I keep getting to tinker with it :)

Hi--

Excited to see sbdags hands on a KK rom. Been a long time CROMI JB user and love it.

I'd like to try KK, but I feel the navigation interface sucks for tablets....really a center navigation? Is there any effort to pull the navigation buttons to the left like Asus' stock, at least as an option for us old school folks?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
In many cases the modules are compatible with multiple kernel versions though - remember I deactivated SELinux in v7 to make the proprietary tntfs and texfat modules work again - we have no source code for these, so they are still from the original Asus kernel.

There is, but you won't gain anything special other than compatibility with the ASIX 88179 USB 3 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter chip. I backported the driver from Linux 3.14 and it works, but it is still slow and produces lots of error messages in the kernel log.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not easy to do anymore as google removed all the code to do it, but if you really want the back button in the bottom left CM11 interface options in the rom do allow you to move one button to the bottom left and one to the bottom right. Like the screen shot below:

Hi,

At the moment I have CROMi-X v5.4 on my TF700 and I'm pretty happy about it. Some lags persist, but it's nothing compared to the stock rom which drived me crazy.

I would like to know if this new CROMBi-kk may be considered already "stable" and if it makes the TF700 more speedy or not, compared to the CROMI-X.

I understand the new CROMBI is based on CyanogenMod and I have CM10.2 on my smartphone (best rom I ever had), but I do not feel like resetting my tablet every week to make tests.

So if some people could give me advice, I would be grateful. Thanks!

Can't wait to try it out sadly TWRP 2.6.3.0 just....sucks..I did flash it and the first thing was:

it wanted a password (I've never set one) so I hit cancel after that my internal storage is shown as 0 MB if that wasn't enough the recovery doesn't even mount my partition.

All I can say is still DO NOT try this with any version below it, you are for sure getting 4 linuslike penguins and an old FW screen.

Penguins are normal with _that's kernel (pre-init script) Not sure what the old FW screen refers to, tho. FYI, you need TWRP 2.6.3.1 (that's) or higher per the OP. Vanilla TWRP 2.6.3.0 will not work.

Where can I get the wallpapers on the OP
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Uh, yeah, mentioned that in my post already. It's no go.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] says that while cROMBi-kk is indeed benching much faster than cROMi-X (using similar setups on both) that he feels cROMi-X is still smoother than cROMBi-kk. Me, personally, though, I would say that cROMBi-kk is much much faster *AND* smoother, transitions between balanced and performance CPU settings is much more seamless, and in playing games (mostly Virtua Tennis right now) I see an almost immediate response from lag and choppiness to full playability.

The best way to look at it is to look at cROMi-X as an established, well tested ROM, whereas this cROMBi-kk is much newer, and still getting bugs worked out, so is much more of a Beta ROM.

That being said, though, I still have to say that [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] and [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] have done a *GREAT* job with cROMBi-kk and I, personally, am sticking to it instead of cROMi-X as my go to daily driver.

Made a huge mistake

Hello,

This is the first ROM I try to install on my ASUS TF700T. To cut the story short, I made a big mistake as my TWRP is v.2.3.3.0. I thought Goomanager had installed latest version, but I think the unrooting only installed this old version and then didn't rechecked.

Now I am stuck because:

- I did a backup but can't find it (TWRP Restore does not show any backup!!!)

- Connecting the tablet to PC does not allow for file transfer so I can't put any other files now!!!!!

So basically I don't know what to do now and I am stuck with a tablet that doesn't work.

[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
If you're already running this ROM, you can 'dirty' flash new versions and it will preserve all your apps and data. Flashing gapps is no longer required with the latest version of this rom (included). You may want to look into Titanium Backup as well -- this can preserve/backup apps and data in the event of a problem/corruption, etc.

And ALWAYS, ALWAYS do a nandroid/TWRP backup prior to installing a new ROM. Hassle-free recovery that way.

Has anyone been able to get a wifi hotspot created with CROMBi-kk?

With CROMi-X I often use ethernet and then create a hotspot for my mobile phone to connect to. In CROMBi-kk, I have ethernet working but I cannot find a setting to create a hotspot like there is in CROMi-X.

ROM2SD with CROMBi-kk on internal - an expected no-go right?

I had previously flashed CROMBi-kk over an old CROMi-X (not miniC) and things seemed to be working fine.

Today, after flashing the latest version, I noticed that I was still using Hund's kernel rather than _that's even though I chose _that during

installation (I had previously chosen hund's).

So, I decided it was probably best to just flash CROMBi-kk on the internal sdcard and then flash it again using ROM2SD. That didn't work since

the internal CROMBi-kk didn't recognize the installation on the external card.

Flashing miniC internally and then flashing CROMBi-kk right after (without even a reboot in between) that got back rom2sd with _that's kernel.

This is expected behavior, right: CROMBi-kk doesn't work as the ROM2SD "anchor" on the internal card?
