Not the same thing. Notice his FC message, and see my screen shot. Also notice that my screen shot has no UI *NOR* wallpaper.

Upon reboot it had reverted my wallpaper to default OOB wallpaper, but my UI was completely working.

EDIT: Added the following

Sorry, just no saw your reply inside my quotation.

yeah, different circumstances, and different manifestations as well. Mine might have been a system.UI FC, but it looked like it was FCing even before system.UI was called. It was recurring so fast that i had to hit the power button to power off, then rapidly tap the OK button and then attempt to tap reboot. But if I was able to get a boot menu at all from the power button, that means that the UI was actually working correctly to give me that menu, right?

Hence my confusion.

Right, there is some problem with running the preinit shell script on KitKat (the one that auto-detects the MicroSD card and switches /system and /data to it) - apparently dynamically linked programs don't work before init has run, but we don't know why. I did some tests with sbdags, and a possible solution would be a statically linked busybox, but I haven't built or looked for one yet.

Next time try to get a logcat, then we can find out more.

What is a normal amount of time for first boot?

I have just flashed from Cromix 5.3a and everything seemed to go fine. However it has been stuck on the CROMBi-KK boot screen for 40 minutes. I'm still reading through all the pages here to see if I missed something. Does the first boot time depend on the number of apps installed?

Initial boot time

No. I did a dirty flash. I noticed that sbdags showed results for doing a dirty flash and I did not see anything that explicitly stated to do a full wipe so I gave it a try.

I can try a full wipe. Doubtful that I have enough battery to try it now so will need to be later when I can recharge. Dirty flashes have worked fine for me on CROMI-X all along. Is a full wipe required for this ROM?

I wouldn't think that is normal, however, I use an app called Cache Cleaner NG (free on the market) and it wipes out my cache for me automatically every night. Also helps to keep my devices running snappy like they should be. Hope it helps you out as well!
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
This is the paid Cache Cleaner by jrummy, long time Android dev. I can clean it out on a schedule as well as by a widget, and I can also clean individual cache for particular apps also. I have the functionality, but seeing that value is what made me pause.

I have never had an app using over even 125 MB of Cache, let alone 850 MB....

OK, so I just checked my phone, and it is sitting at 259 MB for G+ as well.

So, apparently it is either:

normal behavior, or

G+ is a horribly written app that does not clean itself out like it should be doing.

Give ROM 10 minutes to stabilize

A very noobish question here.:confused: In the OP, installation directions advise allowing the ROM 10 minutes to stabilize. Is this:

After the installation but before rebooting, or

After rebooting but before the setup procedure, or

After rebbooting and setting up?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Just give 10-20 mins before doing anything radical...:D

I use this time to setup things in settings and such...

Turn on dev options

Enable debugging

Enable root

Disable HW overlays

Enable app back button

Trun off the persistent search bar

Turn off large app drawer

Us terminal emu to verify root is working

Thats just a few things I do with the first 10 mins of a new install... :D

Than I do a reboot than enable ART...

Good morning,

i've installed last CROMBi-kk ROM and all works well.

I've an usb etheret adapter based on driver DM9601. On my previus device TF201 with original ASUS ROM al works well with dm9601.ko compiled module.

Is there a compiled module for this distro too ?

Thanks in advance !

Sorry guys. I posted earlier and I was in the development thread. This was meant to be here.----

Hello again. I just wanted to post a quick update regarding the Splashtop remote desktop issue. Team viewer works just fine, but Splashtop FC's right as it is connecting to the remote computer. I would love to have Splashtop working. I've been using this ROM the last couple of days and it runs pretty well for me. Coming from cromi-x it takes a lot of getting used to since I had come to rely alot on the asus apps, but I love the customization and that warm fuzzy feeling you get from using the latest and greatest

Keep up the great work guys!

Cheers

edit-- Just saw the link to CM forums about Splashtop and hardware acceleration not supported on the TF700. Interesting considering they packaged a version of splashtop in the software that came in the stock rom. In any case, compatibility mode is a slideshow. Hopefully there will be a fix soon, but it does appear that it's a CM thing and nothing to do with this ROM.

Sorry about the mixup :o

I saw that earlier and I'm a little perplexed by what it implies. Are there hardware acceleration drivers for this tablet? I know for a fact that it's not strictly a cm11 problem, because I run cm11 based roms on my Nexus 4 and Splashtop works perfectly. It's only when mix cm11 and my tf700 that the problem arises. What else could the problem be?

I kinda wish the problem affected more things, since it probably won't be a big enough deal to get fixed.

[Asus Transformer TF700] envyc:
After a year of frustration with my TF700 I was just about ready to give up on it. I'd tried practically every flavour of stock and CM and each time it started off okay then proceeded to get laggy and unstable.

Then I bit the bullet and went for the full ROM2SD makeover. Well it certainly hasn't been a futile "lipstick on a pig" experience. Finally I have a tab that is usable. The only shame is that after a full year of practically non-use and finally getting a workable system - the glass cracked!

Thanks heaps for your efforts and I'll probably invest in the new glass as it seems worth it now!

random reboots

Hi,

I installed this awesome rom on my TF700. All works well but suddenly my tablet starts to reboot (e.g. when I'm installing an app from the market first market stops running and then infinite reboots) and continues to reboot until I force the shutdown.

Anyone could help?

- Bootloader: 10.6.1.14.4

Hi, i am using this rom for about two days and have some issues…

1. Xda forum in stock browwser jumps up and down as it would constantly refresh the site,

2. Using dock keyboard is imposible to write, as soon as i type faster every button pressed once types around 5 characters,

3. After very reboot android onscreen keyboard is reverted to english language, i have it on slovenian, qwertz as custom keyboard.

Otherwise the rom is very fast and i am considering using data2sd, does it make any change?

Thanx to crombi crew, you are awesome
[Asus Transformer TF700] nibblet787:
Yep, I was referring to Splashtop. If I understand the conversation in that cm11 tech forum link, it seems that enabling compatibility mode in Splashtop prevents it from trying to use hardware acceleration on that particular device. So, to me, that brought up the question of whether or not there are hardware acceleration drivers for this tablet and, if so, is there a way to port them to cm11. (just like other Asus items have been ported from cromi-x)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Ok, so, I am now testing rom2sd with my 8GB card and i somehow answered my own question.

Is there any workarround?

[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
Well i flashed the zip version of TWRP 2.6.3-that3. I then tried to install cROMBi-kk and the gapps without using rom2sd1 since before it wasn't needing it apparently. The aroma installer apparently now changes the nodes back after the install after upgrading the recovery. So i the flashed rom2sd1 and gapps. They installed without any issue. I rebooted and it booted to my internal 5.4 rom. So i dont have to flash my nandroid again, but it didnt load the KK that should now be on my SD card.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] , is there the 4.1 UI ? or only the 4.2 ? can you change the bottom navigation buttons to the ones from ASUS ? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not possible unfortunately. Google have completely removed 4.1 GUI from 4.4. IN 4.3 they left it in but hid it so you could force the framework to use it. In 4.4 there is nothing there to use...... So it would have to be implemented by someone a lot more intelligent than me ... Any takers? :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
I do not see the screen with the penguins when it is booting. I use to a long time ago. Only piece of script i see while booting is the one saying that my device is unlocked. And sadly, i do not know how to check if it detects ROM2SD, but if you point me in the right direction I can tell you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That means you haven't installed the rom2sd mode properly.

Flash it again, choose ROM2sd, finish, flash rom2sd1, flash gapps, reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
Did all that, still no joy.. Here are the install logs, but everything looks fine, I didn't see any errors at least.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
All looks good - did you wipe your rom2sd setup first by flashing rom2sd1.zip and then wipe? Also try that's kernel rather than hunds please.

Will need a logcat over adb to diagnose further.
[Asus Transformer TF700] z3r0-c001:
damn it... I really like the 4.1 UI, to me it is more user (finger/ tab) friendly type of interface either than the 4.2 .... can I at least position the navigation buttons in the left corner ? :) it's easier to press back in a corner than in the center of the tab...

Why am I not a tester bloody hell ...

Anyway, shall monitor the Crombi-kk :) Once again thanks sbdags!
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
i did, i tried to install it again just to see and no luck. I started the logcat before booting the device and it just said waiting for device, i turned it on and let it boot. I let it run for a bit after it finished booting up so hopefully it can help.

Needless to say, it still just goes to the internal install when i selected that's kernel.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I have fixed the rom + gapps installers so that in the next version it keeps the recovery in rom2sd mode for the gapps install so you can flash gapps straight after without needing to flash rom2sd1 in between :)
