Amazing Battery Life!

I want to report that I'm getting amazing battery life on CROMBi-kk with build number 11.0-20140322 and Kernel number 3..10-10.6.1.14.10-that9-oc+

I'm getting 11days 6hrs including the dock battery with 28% from Tablet Idle, 22% Wifi, 18% clock, 12% screen, and 11% Android OS.

In Jelly Bean, the whole thing (including the dock) dies in 2 days without even turning it on.

Now I'm afraid of upgrading to CROMBi-kk build number 11.0-20140403 and lose the battery life!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Yehudah:
Still running this great ROM on my TF700 (it's actually placating my ROM junky tendencies). I installed everything as default, and I couldn't be happier.

I'm actually considering using my TF700 as my laptop again, it's actually usable. Before, within 2 weeks of buying it, I had to revert to my linux laptop because the lag and battery life were horrendous.

Thanks guys.

The reason I suggested a stickie is because even with bright large letters your post will be lost after a couple of more pages are added. But then, maybe people will not even read a sticky!:cyclops:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yeah there not reading the 4th post on page one :p of this forum :D

They can find the download in post 2 just cant find the Q&A forum :cyclops:

Maybe thats what we should do move post 2 and 4 around.. mmmmmmmmm :good:

Than they have to see the Q&A.... :angel:
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Well, using hide tags would make post 1 a lot shorter, such as with the screenshots, so they might actually see page 4.

I propose that the Page one be nothing but links to future posts, where the installation instructions are, and all warnings be put in the first post.

So, something like this:

Post #1: Announcement of ROM, Q&A link, warnings, links to posts 2-X

Post #2: Reiteration of warnings, screenshots (using hide tags for screenshots)

Post #3: Install instructions for internal

Post #4: Install instructions for ROM2SD

Post #5: Reiteration of Q&A link, reiteration of warnings

Mind you it is just a suggestion, and if you don't use it, no worries.

On the TF701 version I didn't even use a Q&A thread. :D

logcats for laggy ROM2SD

Running all default install settings on latest. ROM2SD, no tweaks. performance profile balanced. 64G sandisk ultra.

Logcats attached. There are ominous underflow warnings and what seems to be the "killer" is this "auditd" process. "auditd failed on audit_set_pid... "

Also, there are tons of amazon venezia messages. I uninstalled amazon app store and lag is noticeably gone. However, the auditd logs persist.

I used autostarts to kill most "boot" signal apps, including amazon, and the lag was still there.

Apologies for the zip with 3 text logcats. I was having problems with the web interface.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes I was wondering how long it would take some one to see that :D

As a noob all I can say is that it is a issue across, allot of different custom rom, as per, we dont have all the info

we would need to build all the propriety software for the tegra, thx nvidia, just ask Linus Torvalds :D

Linus telling nvidia how he feels :good:

Nvidia has never played nice with linux.. The issue seem to be recursive and it happens on

CM, CMB, CROMBi-kk, Omni, Pac-Rom.. I have looked into all of them.. It happens, and I am not sure why...

I can say that it has never caused an issue that I was aware of.. As I do not know much more than I have said...

I do not have a soultion for your issue and for that I am sorry :angel:
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
If you use the Amazon kindle app, the audi td failed on audit process is very notable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I'd guess this is because I had to disable auditing and SELinux in the kernel to make the proprietary tntfs and texfat modules work. Time to ditch stock kernel compatibility and switch to ntfs-3g and some other exfat implementation?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Yes, please!

Paragon makes an addon that you can DL for adding NTFS, HFS and HFSX readable. I don't think they are kernel modules, though....

I've looked all up and down this thread and I can't for the life of me find straight up instructions for Data2sd install......I formatted Micro sd 32GB, Fat32 15GBish and Ext4 15GBish, "wiped" data and did a factory reset in recovery, installed data2sd only with ART disabled and fsync disabled, highest resolution BUT it boots to setup screen then locks and reboots and then bootloops at "ring of fire"......What are the proper methods to install Data2sd only without Rom2sd?? I had already been running the latest update with Normal install prior to factory reset and wiping data. There's no seperate kernel needed if flashing through AROMA, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
I just flashed to this ROM and before I did I upgraded to TWRP 2.7.0.0 then I flashed and now it's stuck on the boot animation. Should I be on something special ? I used the Data 2 sd install and the previous ROM I was on was this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Which had the Data2sd
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Did you format data like it says in big letter in post 1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acerr2644:
On MicroSD card or on Tablet? sd card was formatted. If you mean on the tablet, how do you format?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
lj. have you given up on keeping general discussion out of this thread? : - ( They are persistent. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
I didn't because it was formatted before but I'm trying to do that now and .... it's not behaving

Does the SDcard have to be formatted in exactly the way post one says it does?
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
Fixed it I had to go HAM on the sdcard and the tablet. So I wasn't able to format the sdcard through gparted and I cheated a bit with my Tmobile G2 which had a rooted rom on it and 4ext , I used 4ext to wipe all the partitions out , then I removed the sdcard and gparted the F*ck out of it. Put the new rom in it and shoved that tiny c*nt in my tablet , formatted my tablet in TWRP 2.7.0.0 which took like 30 minutes + then rebooted to recovery and installed the ROM and everything works MEOW!

The only non-issue I have is that I'm used to the status bar with battery being on the lower right hand corner and now it's on the top ... any way to change that ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just follow the instructions in post 2 but ignore the 3rd partition. Once you have formatted in gparted just install and choose data2sd in the setup.

Glad you got it working.

That is how Google have gone with the GUI now since 4.2.2. They removed all evidence of the old 4.1 GUI from 4.4 so you'll have to get used to it. Unless someone has seen a hack to put it back but that would be a lot of work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
Thanks sdbags , this rom is much faster than my previous JB one I used .
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
I am having an issue with getting diceplayer to play videos and MXplayer to install.

Everytime I try to play a video in diceplayer it just force closes itself.

During the install of the ROM I did not choose any of the graphic Hardware options. Should I have chosen one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Learn how to get a logcat and have a look when the applications run or install. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
Thanks SDbags , I will post any other issues or questions I have on the Q & A don't want to flood this chat.

I'm researching the Q& A for similar issues

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

grabbed the logcat :
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That's not a full logcat unfortunately. Do one over adb whilst it is stuck booting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
Ok I'll try again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
Ok how about this one?

The diceplayer stuff is towards the end
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Wow so many errors.....

Guessing dice seems to be having problems with HDMI, subtitles, and hwcomposer underflows. This would indicate that the GPU rendering can't build the overlays properly with HDMI or subtitles? Maybe you have to unforced GPU?

Also you seem to have 2 dice players installed, check your /data/app and /system/app folders please.

Did you try clearing data for dice?
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
Under /system/app

No traces of dice

Under /data/app

1 trace of dice :

com.inisoft.mediaplayer.a-1.apk

My tablet is a TF700T

I did clear the data and cache for dice and tried again .... no dice...

Ok so I removed dice and I rebooted my tablet saw that it was gone from /data/app

Then I reinstalled dice same thing it force closes when i try to reopen.

I'm willing to re-flash the rom and do something different in order to get this to work, video playback for me is pretty important.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
According to the log it switches to loading

com.inisoft.mediaplayer.a-2.apk

Or at least tries to.

But you have so many other errors I'd do a full wipe and start again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] contro19:
Screw it ... if that's what it takes to fix it that's what I'm going to do...

I ran a test after a user installed/flashed CromiX 5.4 on internal and then installed Crombi-KK ROM2SD.

From what the user said everything appeared to have been done correctly but stalled at the ring of fire boot animation mod. In my test ring of fire boot also did hang. I did not have time to test the rest of them, but the Crombi-KK boot animation does work well for Crombi-KK on ROM2SD setup. I suspect most of the other boot mods may not in ROM2SD configuration.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The only correct way to deal with this (hangs at the boot animation) is to capture the logcat via adb and read it. If you don't understand it, post it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
They work fine, I tested and use them with ROM2SD. Something else is wrong. Post a logcat of the boot process as _that says.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I know that but it is late here and I am tired. Anyone else have the time please feel free to grab a log. All I know for certain is that Crombi-KK animation does work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
As said it works fine. Something else is up.

Ring of fire seems to no longer work at least for more than one.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Right, I see more than one user not posting a logcat in the dev thread.

To everyone:

Do not post reports of the tablet hanging at the boot animation without logcat. It's pointless and you may end up in my ignore list.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
ADB dunce here, can I run a app like acat or catlog and accomplish thesame thing? Just checking.:cyclops:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
For normal apps misbehaving you can use a logcat app, but for diagnosing boot problems you need adb via USB, or how would you start the logcat app? :)

Anyone who flashes custom ROMs should have a working adb and fastboot setup and know how to use them. It's not hard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Your right and I have all that, but my machines where off and as I stated I needed sleep. All I posted is what happened. So if I am on your ignore list for trying to help, OK.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
After going back to my configuration last night, I tried to replicate the issue this morning so I could send you a adb_logcat.txt but the anomaly did not occur again, and ring of fire boot animation did in fact work this time and did not hang. I apologize for being to tired to boot my computer last night and getting a logcat.txt for you as they say "tomorrow is another day" was my thinking. I was barely able to stay awake long enough just to return my 700 back to my configuration.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wollac11:
This is great! I'm using this with Data2SD and F2FS with Journalling and f-sync disabled and the performance is amazing. One issue I have had though is that when you press the browser button on the dock it always asks you to choose a browser for the action and does not remember your choice even if you choose always.

Additionally, the lock key doesn't seem to work but other than that so far it has been pretty much flawless! Thanks a bunch - this is the first time I think my TF700T has felt fast even after installing applications!

Edit: lock key issue went away after a reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] psudeke:
Hopefully this will help, i have CromiX 5.4 on the internal and the latest Crombi on the SD with _that's most recent kernel (9?). I noticed the boot animation was running slow previously so i thought i'd grab a logcat at boot. it took a while for adb to reconnect after i rebooted, but it did just in time to catch a restart to the beginning of the animation. after a long second boot, i started getting "system.ui has stopped" errors and was getting prompted to set up my the device again. The logcat is too big to post, but here's a link to it:

boot_logcat_crombikk.txt

i have had this happen several times before and my only option was wipe cache/dalvik on the ROM2SD side and reboot. you're forced to setup the device again but it does seem to fix the problem. it it matters, this was a clean install both internally and on the SD, the SD was reformatted wit gparted prior to isntall. let me know if there is anything else i can provide.

thanks for you're continued hard work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I can see SystemUI constantly crashing from the beginning, but without any indication why. The last thing it does is load the settings panel, then the system server reports that SystemUI has died and will be restarted. After the rest of the system gets ready, apparently the system server itself gets confused while waiting for something, then terminated by SIGABRT.
[Asus Transformer TF700] psudeke:
Thanks _that. I'm not sure why adb wouldn't connect earlier to start the logcat, perhaps if it did you would have been able to see what caused the crash.

As a follow up, a subsequent reboot last night caused the SystemUI message to reappear, but wiping cache/dalvik did nothing this time. i ended up just reformatting the SD card and doing a clean install.

I also took a look at the bootanimation file itself, i don't know if could have contributed to the lag issue, but I did have some 100k+ images in it. I reduced the size of the files and repacked the zip, its much more fluid than the previous version. I posted it over in the Themes and Apps section if anyone wants to try it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
My ROM2SD was running well so I decided to flash the CROMBi-KK using the same settings except I chose The Ring of Fire boot animation.

The Ring of Fire was installed again and it hung for about 30 minutes before I forced a reboot into the bootloader then into recovery.

I flashed again using the CROMBi-KK boot animation and it took around 8 minutes to get through the animation and start the upgrade android sequence. I grabbed a log of both. When the ring was hung, and the successful combi after it booted.

I hope it helps. :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The first one fails trying compile ART JIT - I'm on my phone so don't have more detail right now. I doubt very much that it is related to the boot animation, I think it gets stuck trying to recompile ART with some incompatible flags.

Have a look through the logs for /E and /F which are error messages and fatal error messages. When you see them dump it starts at the beginning again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Well I had the tablet running smoothly again using rom2sd, I ran quadrant 2 times with over 9200 each time, so I decided to try again.

Ring of Fire boot animation hung again which usually doesn't happen every time. I don't know why it is now, I set screen resolution to 1920x1200 setting, DPI size: 213, disable journaling and disable fsync and use _thatv9 cm11 kernel all the normal setup for me. . After it hung I flashed using the same settings except I used the crombi-kk boot animation and when I did, that animation was done in 5 minutes and on to the normal upgrade boot.

1: logcat.txt is from the hung boot.

2: logcat2.txt is after back to normal flash with crombi-kk boot animation. :confused: :cowboy:

.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's the same as before - it crashes on art. I have no idea why the boot animation makes any difference and the fact that it sometimes works means it is not the boot animation. Maybe something gets corrupted on your /data partition. Have you run e2fsck -f on your mmcblk0p8 partition to see if there are any errors?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
No sir, but after the first time I posted and gave no log and now I have gparted the sdcard and deleted all partitions and made new ones with different size parameters of the three partitions. I always preferred to do it that way instead of using adjust size feature. Besides I also tried it on my 32GB card and it has happened at least once, on the 64 and 32 GB sdcard. Also why would it do it with the ring of fire and not the crombi-kk if it was a corrupt /data partition?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No idea. Can anyone else reproduce it. I use rom2sd myself but don't have the device with me for 2 weeks so can't test. Maybe you have a bad block somewhere.

Try e2fsck from terminal in TWRP after unmounting /data.

I usually run

e2fsck -fvyD /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

That is for the rom2sd partition of course.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Will do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Finally got to it and made a recovery.log but have no idea how to post it unless email.

After I ran the command line you gave some things were fixed but it said no bad blocks.

0 bad blocks

Hi everybody.

I just wanted to jump aboard the KitKat-Train, because my Rom running on SD does not start anymore.

I have Cromi-X 5.4 installed both on internal and external SD-Card (I thought).

The external was running with FSync disabled and aabout 2 weeks ago it didn't run correctly (boots and as soon as the desktop appears it reboots). So I cannot boot anymore into the external ROM. When I remove the SD-Card, the internal ROM just starts fine, but it's a little bit more laggy.

What I wanted to do is install CROMBI-kk to the external. So i downloaded the zip correctly, bootet into recovery (2.6.3) and installed it with the option Rom2SD. When I reboot, there was still CROMI-X 5.4 booted (the one which doesn't start correctly).

I took out the SD-Card and formatted it with GParted again. I didn't touch my FAT32-Partition on the SD, but formatted the other 2 partitions to EXT2.

I installed CROMBI-kk again to the SD and after reboot - guess what - the corrupt CROMI-5.4 is still there!

My guess would be that I did (somehow) install CROMI 5.4 two times on the internal SD (is that possible??).

When I eject the SD-Card the "normal" 5.4 is started and runs fine. When I plug the SD card in, the corrupt 5.4 is started. I did not see the CROMBI-kk ROM at any time. However, if i take the SD card and start a Linux Live-CD I can see that there is something installed. But somehow my tablet does NOT boot from the external.

I just need some advice how to get rid of the 2nd internal Rom.

Guess I'll have to wipe my complete internal card?

If yes, how would I do that? From recovery, I guess?

I would do it that way:

- Take a nandroid from the internal

- Copy CROMI 5.4 and CROMBI-kk to the external FAT-Partition

- Factory wipe, so system, cache, data and internal SD are wiped.

- Install CROMI 5.4 with ROM2SD-enabled to the internal memory

- Reboot with ejected SD-Card to see if CROMI is installed fine

- Reboot to recovery, install CROMBI-kk to SD

- Reboot with SD inserted to see if CROMBI is installed fine.

Is that the way?

Kind regards from Germany,

Alex

You are in the wrong thread. Jump over to the crombi q&a thread please. Sounds like you are running data2sd not rom2sd. That's the only way what you describe can happen. Probably because you chose ext2 not ext4.

I'm new to this tablet and rom but want to be able to make my tab faster. I attempted to install the data2sd option after creating the 2 partitions on my SD card. 1. Fat32 2. Ext4 but during booting up, I get some kind of missing encryption message. Now I will say that instead of using Gparted I downloaded Aparted from the play store and formatted the SD card directly from the tablet. I did confirm that the partitions are there. Do you think the app I used is the problem or did I maybe miss a step. Please forgive me if this has already been addressed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The missing encryption error indicates that Android does not recognize the file system in /data and therefore assumes it is encrypted.

Use GParted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MasterGGM:
So I got my tablet working and running on DATA2SD but now my internal memory doesn't exist anywhere. I found the sdcardi or whatever its called but it shows as 0kb.

How did you install the kernel?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MasterGGM:
Aroma installed it by default.

edit2: I keep getting E: Can't mount /sdcard

edit3: Couldn't go back to regular rom, no memory available .. i screwed something up real big.. 32gb down the drain.. now trying to go back to data2sd version

HOW DO I REVERT BACK TO REGULAR VERSION?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not sure what you have done but you don't and shouldn't manually install apps.

Flash back to a normal TWRP and format internal sd first and foremost then start again?
