Yeah, it's happened often enough already that we were prepared for zooming right to the wipe / format issue.

And, technically, since you unlocked it yourself, it was on the stock JB base, so it really is a different base.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
It has been, what appears to me, the biggest problem with new first time installers and I can't see how it could of been made any clearer in the OP. Then again you have to read the OP and if not clear read it again and ask a question in here if something is not clear, preferably before you start.

I was out of town for a couple of days and the tab's battery drained. I charged it up and it hung on the Boot Animation.

Reflashed with just cache & dalvik wipes and it looks like everything is fine. I'm F2FS / ROM2SD with Fsync On.

I don't think I saw this with prior versions (though I don't often let my devices drain completely (it's the dock's fault :silly:)).

I'm curious what people are reporting with the 'Won't go to sleep' thing... I will open it and there will be a butt-load of random things launched, Airplane mode might be on, the Play Store might be open, all kinds of random crap. Are other people experiencing that, or just the won't go to sleep/randomly wakes up thing? Definitely killing my battery, and definitely new in this version, so I'm just trying to figure out if my issues are typical, or a whole new avenue of issues?

Also, BTW: This version has had almost no reboots for me, which fixes a lot of the problems from before, so a big thank you to all involved! This new issue can be worked around much easier, IMHO, just didn't know if it was hardware or software. I feel better knowing that other people are seeing it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The screen doesn't sleep when docked and appears to get ghost touches when closed..... We don't know the fix yet but getting the close switch to trigger screen off would be a start! :) One of the pitfalls of a none Asus source I'm afraid - CM11 was not built with docks and transformers in mind....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Sounds like it's all good, then. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one with the ghost touch issue. Now that I know it isn't a broken dock or tablet, I'm good. I'll check back regularly for the next update. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It has to get fixed in the source by the CM team. I don't think the Transformer's dock bugs are high priority for them. So don't hold your breath.... [emoji39]

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Have been using CROMBi-KK via ROM2SD+F2FS while I kept CROMiX internal. However since going to KK I haven't looked back, and am interested in how to go from ROM2SD back to internal. Am using TWRP 2.7.1.1.

Can I use a TWRP nandroid backup and restore it to internal? Can I go from F2FS ROM2SD to EXT4 internal, or should I convert internal to F2FS?

I know I could take backups, try it and see, but am worried about the possibility of bricking if I do something dumb. Is there any risk to the bootloader, recovery or other 'secret data' that I could mess up? Are there any backups besides TWRP nandroids & data/media I should make?

EDIT: I hate how the forums combine serial posts. I really wanted an obvious new thread. Don't suppose there is any way to split them?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bobkoure:
GPS not enabled?

I've just installed CROMBi-KK.

Very cool! Only I don't seem to have GPS. Maps and Earth don't see it, and my GPS Tools util app shows it as "GPS not enabled".

Any idea where/how to turn this on?

Not a huge deal; (I use a noteII w CM11 as a nav device.) This is more of a "well, I should see how well this one works.

I've hunted through the settings pages; don't see a place to enable it.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You should be able to install the KK on your internal without any issue...:) You may want to do a full wipe to prevent a bootloop..

I see a few users reported that you could restore your data between f2fs and ext4 without any issue but I have not tried it yet...:)

About the file system types, it is just personal preferences...;) However, if you are selecting f2fs for your data, you should choose the kernel that it supports f2fs and somehow modify your fstab.cardhu or using the auto-detect script for your file system...:D

AFAIK, custom ROMs don't include the bootloader and recovery blobs...:) So you should be safe when you are installing the custom ROMs... Someone may want to confirm that...:) Good luck and have fun...:laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
If I do a fresh install, will certainly do a full wipe, but I was asking about restoring the CROMBi-KK from my ROM2SD install. Are you suggesting I should wipe internal before attempting a restore?

Any suggestions on EXT4 + fsync disabled vs F2FS? I don't see a major difference between the two performance-wise, and am just not too sure whether F2FS is ready for prime-time or not?

I'm using _that 10 kernel already, so presuming kernel-wise I'm ok?

Is there a documented process to restore bootloader and recovery if something goes bad? I only remember seeing how to go from stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Boot to TWRP, flash rom2sd1 to point TWRP towards the external, make a nandroid.

Reboot to TWRP, restore the nandroid you just made (which will get flashed to internal now). Done.

You don't have to wipe data, TWRP does that anyway before restoring (although it certainly never hurts...) and data doesn't care where it lives: ext4, f2fs - all the same to data.

There is no secret data. Remember? This is open source ;)

Hu? Split what?
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Thanks, appreciate the confirmation of Rom2SD1.zip then nandroid backup, reboot and restore, and the filesystem ok.

loner mentioned fstab, so will double-check that and where it lives.

I know CROMBi/Cyanogen/AOSP is open source, but I was worried about 'secret Asus data'. I guess I'm mostly of thinking of instances in phones (with IMEI and EFS) where you needed to be careful, and wasn't sure if there were any time bombs on the TF700. I just I should comb back through info on the bootloader to be sure.

And about 'split'ing, I was referring to the fact my original post was immediately after a reply to another post - and so the forum put the 2 together, which meant the title of my second post was kind of hidden (or at least not obvious).
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I really should read through the end of the thread before responding....

You can, but you don't have to unless you're a clean freak like some people I won't mention [emoji12]

I myself did not see a major performance improvement with f2fs. But then - it's supposed to be a better file system over time, managing written and empty blocks better than ext4 (apologies to the experts here: I know my understanding is rudimentary at best), so I think the benefits only become apparent if you do not flash and format all the time - like most of the addicts here. [emoji23]

Yes

You do not want to scr*** up your bootloader. As long as you have access to fastboot, you can always flash a new/different recovery - even flash a system blob, recover from most calamities. But always, always check that your BL is compatible with your recovery and the rom you want to flash.

Unless you have your nvflash blobs, naturally. With those you should be able to recover even from a busted bootloader.

Fasten your seat belt, follow the instructions to the letter and do nothing until you completely understand what you're about to do: https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
See the post above...:)

If you don't see the differences, then you should use ext4 because you actually don't use your device heavily...;)

_that's kernel is fine with f2fs.

The only way to restore your bootloader is to use APX to bootstrap using wheelie to gain access to your bootloader and "nvflash" your NVFlash blobs back into your bootloader...;) That is all that I know and may be wrong...:o So the question is, did you generate the NVFlash blobs for your device yet? I believed that [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] wrote a guide to unbrick your device some where here at the tf700 forum if you want to read about it..Good luck....:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Really appreciate the link - that's exactly what I was looking for - a worst case disaster backup. Don't think I have the nvflash backups, and here's hoping I won't need them (I understand the bootloader/recovery/kernel a lot better than I did, but probably enough to be dangerous).

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

One case where's its handy having the forum combine my replies :)

For those of you heavy users ;) where do you see the difference?

As above, don't think I have the blobs, so will go back and generate those. Again, appreciate the tips as it's a dark area most hope they don't go to (and I should say, I follow the OP process faithfully, and the advice given in these forums I should be safe - I just don't trust myself :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The thing is: Those that do generate their nvflash bobs never need them. They don't make the mistakes necessary to brick this device. Those that would have needed them, learn about it too late! LMAO
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
My philosophy exactly - get the backup so you don't need it :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You'll be fine..
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Most noticeable is when you are listening to your musics, downloading apps and games, and surfing the internet at the same time...:D Multitasking is in general that you see the differences... Give it a try and report back with your user experiences with those two files system, thanks in advance...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Will experiment a little more before I make the switch. I guess it's also something I could experiment with - take a nandroid backup and use GParted to reformat the DATA2SD partition to EXT4/F2FS then restore?

As with anything, after moving to F2FS I kind of tend to forget exactly what it was like before. After your post I took a little more care, and realised I was copying 5GB to my microSD while happily switching between apps at the normal TF700 speed, so made me realise F2FS was helping to reduce the times when otherwise everything would grind to a halt while multiple i/o is happening. However more the sort of thing to appreciate in actual use - I'm not sure the benchmarks really pick this up.

hi everyone,

where can i download the smiling wallpaper shown in the first post?

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Great, where can I download the source code of the bootloader? ;)

Quite possible. Just remember that f2fs still has no working fsck program that could repair the metadata, so if the filesystem becomes corrupted, it's "restore your backup" time.

Mostly correct, at least I've never needed them. But I know someone who bricked his tablet yesterday and restored it using nvflash.

[Asus Transformer TF700] bitemeoftn:
In order to install a new sound pack you'll have to add a folder called SoundPacks to the root of your internal SD then put all of your soundpacks that you download into that folder and they'll show up. So far after trying to use them though the only thing they really changed was the lock/unlock sound. There may be more it changes for a tablet, I tried them all on my phone though.

First of all, thanks sbdags and everyone else here for everyhing you do.

I've recently unlocked my TF700 for the first time, and installed CROMI-x 5.4, and it works great!

I'm trying to install CROMBI-kk 4.4.3, but I get stuck on android boot animation for more than an hour.

I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.1, and I've done a wipe.

I'm using the defaults to install CROMBI-kk.

I've collected a logcat which is attached.

If you can take a look and tell me where I've gone wrong, that would be great!

Coming from cromi-x 5.4, thanks for all the great work on this!

I've been searching for both this issues that I'm facing but had no luck finding answers...

1. In settings menu -> about tablet -> state crashes the UI... I used to have this issue on cromi-x too but then sbdags provided a patch I believe. Is this available for crombi-kk?

2. I've noticed that some dock buttons are not working: auto-brightness, screenshot, settings, mute, and most importantly wi-fi and bluetooth toogle keys... is there a workaround available? Ok, never-mind this! I've enabled ART and all these buttons came to life (maybe because of the restart?)

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

The simple script I wrote for 4.2.1 doesn't work with this version of android (it says that the file systems "mnt" and "storage" are read only).

I'm also having this issue, not sure if the fault is with the ROM or Kernel but its really weird. I'm using CROMBi-kk 20140617 + some of asus apps v1.93, with _that v10 and F2FS on internal, running dalvik (after test-driving ART). Couldn't find a fix anywhere, so I'm posting a logcat here, maybe that could help... :fingers-crossed:

While the logcat was running I pressed either the power button or the dock sleep button and the tablet went to sleep just fine. After waking it up and pressing volume up/down on the dock, the tablet would no longer respond to either the dock sleep button or the power button (not even showing the power menu). It's weird because both these buttons work just fine for waking the tablet if it goes to sleep by itself (after 5 min without touching the screen for instance).

I've also noticed that sometimes I can't type my lockscreen pin using the dock, although other times it works. Don't know if it's related though...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
The dock button issue is well-documented - using the volume keys on the dock causes problems. When you run into this, just toggle the volume buttons on the tablet itself to re-enable things.

I am having a hell of a time trying to get ROM2SD to work on the KitKat versions.

I know I have cromi-kk rom on the internal memory, with the v10 kernel installed. I have tried installing and wiping everything several times. In the end, the boot screen just sits forever. I know it can take 10-15 minutes to boot the first time, but I have waited 30 minutes or more, and it still never boots.

I can always go back to cromi-x rom2sd and it works every time, no problem. I am starting to wonder if there is an issue with the particular sd card I bought, which I spent decent money on for the high speed.\

Is anyone aware of issues with SanDisk Extreme PLUS micro sd cards? It's a 32GB card.

Random wakes

Good Morning,

Is anyone experiencing the tablet (with dock) randomly turning on and all sorts of apps being opened? I charge my tablet every morning, and by the time I get to work my tablet is warm (as it is in a case) and running all sorts of apps.

The WIFI is off, with is set to NEVER connect when sleeping, as well as the scanning for networks feature.

I'm running the latest ROM, ROM2SD, F2FS. I have FROZEN a bunch of apps through titanium backup, and greenify as well.

As well, is it normal that every time I wake my tablet it shows the SD Card scanning icon on the top left, scans and then goes away?

Thank you again for all your help, and a fantastic ROM, I'm finally enjoying this tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dills2214:
I did. I just realized I do have a class 10 sandisk ultra card I could try it on, just to see if it makes a difference.

One other thing I have been thinking about... When I factory wipe from TWRP, am I ever wiping the rom on the SD or do I need to format and re-partition the SD card every time I switch roms? I am wondering if I am actually just dirty flashing the rom2sd, and that is causing problems.

If so, is there a different way to wipe the SD rom? Or is re-partitioning the only way?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If you want to wipe the SD ROM then you must flash rom2sd1.zip first, then do a wipe /data (factory wipe) or a format /data (more comprehensive and takes a lot longer)

You don't need to repartition anything if it is already partitioned correctly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Robbie_G:
Apologies, it says v2.7.0.0. I think it's the one I used to set up f2fs a while ago.

The tablet has since been rebooted, no obvious problems right now. Should I re-install with a different TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If it ain't broke - don't fix it ;)

But eventually you'll need the new TWRP version anyway, so why not flash TWRP 2.7.1.1. It supports ext4 and f2fs.
