Sorry - meant to say for missing google calendar sync.

Still had the encryption error. Sorry - I've been trying to format between diaper changes and rushing kids off to the bus - but best I can figure is that I mush have Pretoriano80's twrp 2.7 f2fs version since in the format data menu it shows 'mkfs.f2fs' when formatting data. Maybe I missed something for formatting internal system for f2fs. I'll have some more time to mess with it at work today so I can get it working. Thanks for your help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Google calendar sync works fine and has been inlcuded for a few versions at least :confused: You shouldn't format system to f2fs. Work out what your internal and external /data partitions are and then compare to the fstab.cardhu file in /system/boot/rootfs_rom2sd on internal.

I've been expecting this post. It is my feeling that we are not seeing post by individuals that have posting policies explained to them refusing to follow polocies but old cromix user coming to kk thread for the first time. Not everyone follows thread daily, and this threads practices are completly different than cromix.

If i am incorrect as to who is abusing policy then perhaps other actions may need to be implimented.

For the moment i would still recommend patience and politeness .

IMO this is the ONLY way to handle this. If you make them go back and re-enter in the Q&A it will eventually sink in. (maybe)

Agreed. The lack of moderation options on xda, in particular, a "move" option, to send this to the right forum at no expense, but with a notice to the poster, is disheartening. A majority of the posts are in earnest but are in the wrong place, including this post, due to the forum. I'd very much not mind spending effort to move posts here to the right forum.

Any options? Who are the forum devs for XDA? How do we contact them?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
They were doing it for quite a while. But this is not the only forum that the change took over, and this is not the only set of forums where people keep posting incorrectly.

I think it will take [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] to step in and request help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
OK - got it. Also got a Note 3 today to play with so have been distracted... :p I couldn't get f2fs running on data2sd, but the ext4 is working fine. I wasn't sure how to get the fstab.cardhu file off internal since I couldn't get it to boot (would not recognize the tab in adb). It could even have something to do with the x86 v amd64 version of gparted.

My calander sync issue was simple oversight - I use Business Calendar so deselected google calendar from aroma, buuuuuuttt.... that prevented google calendar sync in the google account.. :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] jupppo:
Well, I disagree. You can play this gane forrever and refer alle the Questions to a different section, but as long as the software download, release notes, instructions and tips and tricks from the developers are posted here, the people will ask their questions here. I personally think thats naturally to have this together as it is in most of the threads on xda.

It would be much easier if a seperate thread for Develpment talk is opened and called that way. That at least works for other devices here...
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Lol this IS a separate development thread.

But if Sbdags posted ROM announcements in Q/A then it would make more sense....

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
OK, so where are we non-exclusive users supposed to post issues we are having specifically with this version of the ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No one is exclusive... Not even me... Talking like that is going to make it hard for me to want to help you...

There is a Q&A section for this rom... If you found this thread is should not be hard to find the Q&A thread...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
I just found it because it's posted to another user. Open both of these topics up in separate tabs and look at the two. The Q&A one has a line that states this: This thread has been created for Questions & Answers/Troubleshooting.

This thread doesn't say anything about not positing trouble shooting issues or questions, and it's not in the title. The two threads are actually almost identical in the first post, except that the Q&A one has a few different things. It's three posts down(Three long posts, due to the nature of those posts) before the Q&A one gets mentioned, and that doesn't mention anywhere that questions are not supposed to be in the thread, it mentions the Q&A thread and states that your question may have gotten moved there.

I'm sorry, but if people are going to start grumbling about nobody reading the rules, there should probably be some rules posted. It's just kind of frustrating to have it implied that I am some kind of idiot, and then to go back and look for where I screwed up and find nothing laying out what people are complaining about.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
I don't think anyone really meant to attack you personally for posting questions here (especially since questions were posted in the CROMi-X development thread), but for those of us who read everything posted in the development thread on an on-going basis, we've seen numerous posts asking questions to be posted in the Q&A thread. Some of us are probably frustrated that we keep seeing the same requests to post in Q&A. Sometimes, the request to use Q&A thread is posted in the thread and another question is posted here in same page, perhaps the very next post. I personally read post #4 to mean that we should post questions exclusively in the Q&A thread but I agree with you that it does not say anything about not posting questions here (that came later in the thread).

Perhaps the awesome pair that is sbdags and lj50036 could rework the first posts to explicitly state the purpose of the development thread? And I think it may be worth while to have something short about using Q&A thread in the first post as someone else already suggested.

Thanks to the awesome community! :fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
In the Q&A thread devoted to this ROM!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Thanks, it's been settled multiple times upthread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Maybe if you fully understood the purpose of a "Development Thread". Beside the fact that the header at the top of the thread says:

Transformer TF700 Android Development > [ROM]★★★[TF700 KitKat 4.4.2][CROMBi-kk][F2FS | DATA2SD | ROM2SD | CM11][May 5]

and the header at the top of the Q&A thread says:

Transformer TF700 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q&A]★★★[KitKat 4.4.2][TF700T-CROMBi-kk][3 Kernels | ROM2SD | CM11 ]★★★

the whole purpose of a development thread is for those working on a particular ROM to communicate with each other and to allow us to spectate, not participate unless we have something to contribute to "development".

The fact that the third post specifically states where you should go for questions, answers and troubleshooting should be sufficient. And maybe the fact that it's written in huge red text, it should get your attention? Why should this thread have to say, "Don't post Q&A stuff here"? That's ludicrous.

No one is attacking you specifically pal. It's just that the people here who abide by the developers wishes get a little weary of the constant non-development banter.

Now, let's all switch over to the Q&A thread to continue this discussion, though I don't see the point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tek_No:
F2FS and Data2SD

Got a quick question:

I'm running this great rom with Data2SD and F2FS enabled. The performance of my TF700 is great at the moment :)

Question: How can I check if F2FS has been installed on internal /Data or External /Data?

When I use terminal and enter a mount I can see that "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8" has been mounted as /Data with F2FS.

Is this on internal or external?

Grtz,

Tek_No
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That's the internal /data partition. External would be mmcblk1p2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tek_No:
Hey, _that.

Thx for the quick reply :)

Would there be any benefit speedwise in moving this to external (got a pretty fast microsd card).

If so: how can I move this from internal to external?

Grtz,

Edit: post content deleted...wrong forum!

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T while holding a homebrew.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
OK, serious problem here. I've tried this numerous times, and I keep having it fail.

I'm installing the ROM. Internal or Data2SD, doesn't matter, it occurs every single time. Get it up and working, sign in to a single Google account. Skip Cyanogen account creation, let it restore about 6 apps to my account, including Quadrant. Run a Quadrant benchmark to see how it does on stock. reboot. Set up Root, Debugging and allowing of .APK installs from other places. Enable ART.

Reboot and tablet hangs at boot animation.

It's been doing this all night, but I suspect the logcat is trimming older entries, so only has entries from about 2 hours ago - but they are the same 3 entries repeated.

here you go: View attachment ART_not_booting.rar

In the meantime I am grabbing TWRP_F2FS again and then seeing if I can restore my older backup.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
OK, this is bad.

Flashed TWRP_F2FS recovery. Wiped everything. Formatted Data. Restored my backup. Booted tablet, and I get an encryption error again.

Trying to capture a logcat now. But usinig

adb logcat -v long > ART_not_booting.txt

gives me the following in my CMD prompt:

- waiting for device -

.

The tablet boots up to the Encryption failure message again. The local logcat file as named above is completely empty.

I'm beginning to suspect that I have a bigger hardware issue, but if I do a clean install everything installs perfectly fine, but as soon as I enable ART, I get the error message as above.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - any ideas?

Aside [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] - I also own a Galaxy S III, How hard would it be for ROM devs for that phone to incorporate F2FS support for their ROMs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:

Someone needs to check in the source in the indicated location what the check about hash_section_start is about.

Which kernel version is used on that device? 3.4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Me too - I get encryption errors if I try F2FS with Data2SD.

As for checking in that location, I'll try again and see if I can get it - just restored my Nandroid backup so I'll have to install again.

As for the phone, kernel version 3.4.88:

This is actually from the enabling of ART on a clean install to internal of the ROM using ext4.

The second message I posted where I could get no logcat is with me restoring my Nandroid backup after flashing twrp_f2fs, rebooting into twrp, wiping everything internal, formatting /data to F2FS only, then restoring my Nandroid backup - which is how I had it set up originally before I started playing - internal install, F2FS for /data, and ART enabled with tons of apps in /data.

I'm looking now for the files in TWRP, using hte file manager after mounting everything, and thus far I found /fstab.cardhu but cannot find /system/boot/rootfs_data2sd/fstab.cardhu - Under /system, no sub directories, and under /, /boot has nothing in it.

Again, though, this is the Nandroid restore - I'm currently going to flash regular twrp .7, wiping everything, formatting data, and then installing 0505 fresh. I'll make a note of every option I have installed, get it booting with Dalvik, copy those files, enable root, enable ART and reboot and if it fails to boot again I'll go back into TWRP and collect those files again to see if there is a change and post them all here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Well, I can confirm that Data2SD setup with both internal and external formatted to f2fs gives encryption error. I even done full wipe of everything, formatted internal and external data to f2fs to check that this was not my fault. It seems that it's an issue to be solved by dev(s), sorry :( Still, a very nice update, just this one thing is still not working.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Looks like there's work in progress already: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/61571/

You need to mount /system in TWRP before you can see its contents.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I did - and you quoted me on that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK let me check it now

Yep found the error! :o

In the fstab.cardhu file on internal /system/boot/rootfs_data2sd

can you edit it to remove the discard option for /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 from

# INIT mount points
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system ext4 noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,barrier=0,ro wait
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache ext4 noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nosuid,nodev,nodiratime,barrier=0,errors=panic wait
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data f2fs noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard,nodiratime,errors=recover wait,encryptable=footer
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /datai f2fs noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard,nodiratime,errors=recover wait,encryptable=footer

to

# INIT mount points
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system ext4 noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nodiratime,barrier=0,ro wait
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache ext4 noatime,noauto_da_alloc,nosuid,nodev,nodiratime,barrier=0,errors=panic wait
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data f2fs noatime,nosuid,nodev,nodiratime,errors=recover wait,encryptable=footer
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /datai f2fs noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard,nodiratime,errors=recover wait,encryptable=footer

Try that - it should get you booting :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Well, hehe, I dunno why, but everything under fstab.cardhu was set to ext4. I'm 100% sure that I've chosen f2fs during installation...

EDIT It booted. I just pasted everything from your second code into fstab.cradhu. You might want to check aroma scripts and cardhu files, I think there is something wrong going on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Did you use the twrp_f2fs recovery and format /data to f2fs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
Yes, both internal and external.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
:o

Anyway, if /system appeared empty, it looks like mounting didn't work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
There is another thing that I'd like to report as an issue that still persist in this build of CROMBi-kk. I've talked about it in separate thread in Q&A already.

/sdcardi and /storage/sdcardi are still non-writable. I've found out with a help of another user that datai/media is writable (as well as datai). I don't have any further information about this problem, but at the moment existance of /sdcardi and /storage/sdcardi is pointless. Sbdags, you might want to look into it... But, as long as internal storage is accessible it's not that important ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Which is weird that I get an encryption error if it did not restore correctly.

At any rate, I'm starting from scratch again - another user is tackling Dat2SD / Rom2SD + F2FS, so I'm tackling the ART issue.

I'm currently installing internal, pure stock ROM with ZIP align, GPU tweaks, fsync and journaling on using Ext4 for all parts. My microSD is still formatted as required for ROM2SD, so the external storage partition is 16 GB FAT32.

As soon as it boots, I'm enabling root access, turning on performance profile, then enabling ART.

I'll report back what is going on, hopefully with a logcat.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Mine are writable :)

I'm using rom2sd with ext4 on internal and f2fs on external.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
There you see - I have Data2SD and both internal and external are f2fs. I tell you, something is wrong with internal formatted to f2fs. I have access to it, so it's not a big deal now. Those symlinks somehow aren't working (they are symlinks, right? :P), or maybe the fuse we talked about when you were away... It doesn't bother anymore, just wanted to tell you that not everything is going as expected. Well, maybe it's not even worth repairing ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't think it's a fault of f2fs as sdcardi is a link to your /storage/sdcardi which is your internal /data/media folder I beleieve folder. I have no idea why yours is not read writable and mine is ....??

E-mail

Dear developer firmware CROMBi-kk 20140505, your firmware is working fine, but there is one problem. In firmware sewn mail client E-mail does not have the possibility to assign each message and delete accounts (accounts). That is no function "select all" and "delete account". This is impeding the work, please change to another version, that has these features.These features have been available in all official firmware TF700T.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can remove account from android - settings - accounts

As for the select all - sorry but that is how the CM11 email client is setup - you'll have to raise it with the CM11 team :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
What kind of info would you need from me regarding the ART not working?

I have a default Ext4-based internal install with fsync and journaling enabled. I'm about to revert to the older build from April and see if ART enables - if so, then which files would you think would matter that I need to take a look at?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No idea mate - it could be an app it doesn't like, it could be cm11, it's experimental. For now I suggest staying with dalvik runtime as I think it is smoother.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DeeSaR:
small problem after HW accelerated video discovered

Hi dear developers, ive detected a small bug after playing back HW accelerated video strams, (BS Player) video works fine but after ending playback, the power button has no function anymore, wether to switch off screen, nore to display shutdown menue, nither the lock button on the hw keyboard is working. And tablet is draining much battery.

only long press of power to hard shutdown works.

This happens with dalvik and art in the same manner.

Everything else works goodso far. :)

My installation is rom2sd.

Thank You for developing great roms for us :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I think this is the known issue of messing with the vol buttons while docked? (subsequently disables power, and vol controls). [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]: is this still the case?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I think so. The dock is very flakey on cm11. We've been unable to identify the fix as of yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DeeSaR:
thank you for the fast answer, you are right, it has to do with the volume keys, removing the dock and reinsert the tablet in the dock enables the power and lock button again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Hmmm. I'm going to download the last build from April and see - I don't think it is an app conflict because I've installed all of 6 apps right now, and only have my main Google account attached to the tablet while I test. But, FWIW, it does it also on a completely clean profile.

Dalvik, while smoother, shaves a good 2500 points in quadrant and is subjectively a lot more laggy than when I am on ART.

I'll peruse the ROM files to make sure nothing particular has changed that may conflict with ART between the new version and the old versions, and report back as to whether it is my Tablet that refuses to allow ART all of a sudden, or if it is something that is ROM based.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
OK, my initial testing is complete.

Builds 0403, 0427 and 0511 have no issues with enabling ART, and ART survives through reboots.

Build 0505 not only has issues with enabling ART, but even has issues with entering system settings. Definitely a build that my tablet does not like.

I'm going to test ROM2SD and Data2SD as well as F2FS with all three installs and see if I can get anything to break. If not, I'm retiring from testing for this week :D

updated bootloader to required. wiped and installed like normal... first boot took 25 minutes, bootlooping (or so it looked) including starting at the ASUS start screen 'this device is unlocked'

when it FINALLY boots. it runs like crap for about 5 minutes.. then crashes again and loops for another 30 minutes. is there anything i can do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you on the correct bootloader? Wipe before installing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] malaeus:
10.6.1.14.4 US bootloader, and yes. did a full wipe (minus data/media) [did 2 wipes back to back actually, tried this about 15 times now with both this rom and PAC]

ive gotten it to boot now. and it runs for awhile. but any time the screen goes to sleep it SOD's. and randomly ill be doing anything on it, and it just freezes. then restarts again.

all the way back to the asus 'this device is unlocked' boot screen. im not really sure what else to do :( using TWRP 2.7.0.0)
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
(Minus data/media) will not do it the first time!

You have to do the data/media also. Wipe it clean.
[Asus Transformer TF700] malaeus:
ah really? ok will do :)

edit: seems to have made a huge difference, but it still freezes up and reboots randomly. once every 20 min or so. thanks though, data/media must have been most of my problem.
