Wow, I think you are the first one who has a negative score on Quadrant... does it draw the bars extending to the left then? ;)

It tells us that it is easy to get something wrong. :)

For f2fs you need a /data partition that is formatted as f2fs, a kernel that supports f2fs, and a ramdisk (in the kernel, or - for a Rom2SD installation - in the external /system/boot directory) that mounts /data as f2fs. Get one of these wrong and Android won't boot.

There is only one kernel. Modules on internal /system/lib/modules and external /system/lib/modules must be compatible with this one kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
Actually yeah it did draw the bars to the left. It was the darndest thing, even my buddy who is into flashing roms as well was like wtf? :confused: Wish I screen-capped it though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You got that right :laugh:

So what I should have done would be:

flash twrp_f2fs

flash rom with f2fs kernel

format data to f2fs

Hi,

2 quick questions:

is there a mail app with this rom (other than gmail)?

is there any way to change the default calendar colors?

Thanks!

EDIT: Found the mail app (duh! I was looking for the widget and did not see it). Still would like to know about the calendar colors, though :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I was boot-looping into recovery as well on my first few attempts. I got it running by installing _that's TWRP, then doing a data format (and wow did that take a long time). Up and running now, and it does seem smooth, and boots fairly quickly. Setting a just different enough that I'm getting a little impatient, but that will improve over time.

Amazing work. Restoring apps now, will provide feedback as appropriate. Thank you!

Not sure I saw this as a reported issue or not...

I have the asus connect dock (stand alone mini dock) which adds ethernet connectivity. It seems that this ROM does not currently notify when connect to the dock, nor does it switch to an ethernet connection. I think the tablet actually thinks it is docked (I have some tasker notifications that prove that), but it continues to use wifi when connected, rather than the preferred ethernet connection.

Let me know if you need more info or support for testing.

Installs first up to internal but issues with ROM2SD; sbdags is sorting that tonight I hear... :)

Have to say I found it quite a bit slower for me than CROMi; even laggy, though I am comparing CROMBi-kk internal with CROMi ROM2SD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheArtfulPenguin:
bottom buttons and quick wifi setting and pause\play

Overall pretty solid and usable. But a couple things.

On a tablet I'm not a fan of the button for back home recent being in the center, they should be on the bottom left. Maybe there is a way to change it and I just don't know how to.

Also use to being able to shortcut setting WiFi anytime with two touches. Now have to go to settings.

Also in my media player the pause\play button on the dock doesn't work.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I suspect you will need to use the cm11 based kernel right now. However I will try a test patch today the ports over the Asus keymapping to see if it helps on the Asus stock based kernels.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

Yes apparently tibu doesn't play nice with 4.4 yet. I'm having the same experience. Luckily for us the dev of tibu pumps out patches faster than an sbdags release schedule ;) Hopefully it will get better.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Yes I found the problem late last night. The installer doesn't quite trigger correctly after a wipe. I'll have a fixed version up later today so hold tight please.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

Long hold down on the WiFi button. As for the buttons I'm afraid this is the way it is now. Google have made a decision that phones, phablets and tablets will all share the same GUI. So you'll have to get used to it unless someone can come up with a hack for 4.4 as Google have completely removed 4.1 GUI now. It was there but hidden in 4.2 and 4.3 so could be fooled into coming out ;)

No idea. Does cm11 support Korean?

I've noticed the charging status is a bit funky overall. [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] are you seeing this? Basically even when charging the text on the lock screen says discharging.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

I think all of you are experiencing the fact that you have been spoilt by Asus stock base + great kernels + CROMi-X ;)

I've stayed away from using CM bases before as they tend to have more bugs, obscure bugs, lots of changes made by a number of devs, slower and laggier, etc.

So this is very much a test release to see what can be done by lj50036 and myself and I think for a first crack it's a bloody good effort! :good:

Btw the Asus Stock Roms are a lot more stable and solid than you realise ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
Yes, it has been amazing for a test release. And I do thank you and lj for all the hard work put into it. Im just wanting to try and do my part in finding where the bugs are since I dont know much about programming, but i am trying to slowly learn.

I do think we have all been very spoiled by the stock roms, but we only have you to blame for that. :p

Just want to say thanks for all of the hard work you all have put into this and CROMi-X and look forward to it becoming better and smoother.

[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I had the same issue, but I browsed to the backup directory from root in TiBU, and reset the directory. Once I exited out of the app, then rebooted, it worked as expected. At first I thought it was a mounting issue with the external SD card (where my backups are), but looks like a reboot was needed to make the changes stick?

EDIT: NM. I see [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] already addressed a fiddly TiBU and 4.4 behavior.

As always, my comments were not meant as a criticism, just helping point out areas of improvement during the "test" (and agreed-- a bloody good one). Curious, though... are there ethernet drivers at present? Are they available via the keyboard dock? Obviously I'm less interested in the notification than I am the actual connectivity of the port.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I've no idea mate - I no longer have a dock. [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] will have to confirm that on for you. BTW it wasn't taken as criticism I was taking the opportunity just to remind everyone where we are at currently :) There's plenty more to test coming your way ;)

I have rom2sd using Crombi-KK latest release (not running f2fs) and I am truly impressed. I also switched my default browser to dolphin.

Did I see a post for a data2sd.zip TWRP switcher? I see that as the only hiccup when delving into android f2fs guts... I see the last item when installing kk is that 'device is in external data mode until reboot' (or something to that effect) but then nandroids / future flashing is an issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
It is pretty simple.

Boot into TWRP

Install rom2sd1.zip

Go to home and tap on backup.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
After reading through the relevant parts of the source code and a short chat with Dees_Troy I now have a sound theory what is happening here.

The base issue is that your /data is formatted with a different filesystem than the fstab in the kernel ramdisk expects. Let's assume you have TWRP for f2fs and the kernel for ext4. If you try to boot Android in this situation, the following will happen:

- Android tries to mount /data as ext4, which fails because it's formatted as f2fs

- Since this could be because /data is encrypted, it tries to decrypt

- Decryption fails - you get the message and the only choice is "Reset device"

- Android writes "--wipe-data" into /cache/recovery/command and reboots directly to recovery

- TWRP reads /cache/recovery/command and detects it should format /data

- TWRP erases /cache/recovery/command

- TWRP formats /data as f2fs

- TWRP reboots to Android

- go to step 1

To break the cycle, you can do one of the following:

- wait for the point before TWRP attempts to reboot into Android and hold down Volume-down. This should get you back to the bootloader menu, from which you can select RCK to get back to the TWRP menu and flash a kernel that is compatible with your filesytem.

- while TWRP is formatting, try "adb killall recovery", this should also get you back to the TWRP menu. Then restart formatting manually and flash a compatible kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Fantastic information! Thanks a million! Bookmarked

Now I just wonder how the other guys who did not format data to f2fs got into that loop. Can data corruption cause this too?

Recently read about one case where a user on stock (not rooted and locked) ended up in the same loop after ejecting his microSD without unmounting it first (or so he described it).
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Data corruption is fixed by reformatting /data, so after that Android should start as on a new device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
If you installed data2sd with f2fs then I'm still not quite sure how twrp will know to format extSdCard vs internal.... unless I just pop the card out and redo in gparted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
By default, TWRP will always format, backup, restore your internal /data. To format external /data in TWRP, either do it from the command line (mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p2) or flash rom2sd1.zip before formatting via the menu - it should work also for Data2SD. Check the output of rom2sd1 for mmcblk0p8, it should be 179:50, and mmcblk0p8_real should exist in the list. If TWRP cannot mount /system afterwards, that would be normal, because you can't flash a ROM to ROM2SD if you don't have a third partition for /system there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
What are the advantages of using mounting nodes instead of mounting actual partitions? For example, 179:50 instead of mmcblk1p2...:) I just want to understand for the future references...

I would like to see the "very loud sound option" mod that is in CromiX 5.4 in Crombi-KK. I don't know what the name of it was or how to find it, but it made the speaker volume better for me.

EDIT: It is not needed. I played some music and the speaker is doing good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Two questions:

1. Is the main different between, let's say, your twrp and f2fs twrp, that it defaults to formatting data in ext4 vs f2fs? Therefore, can I use either twrp regardless of f2fs vs ext4 for data2sd, if I format the extSdCard properly before installation?

2. When running a nandroid with any of these data2sd setups, do I just backup system first, normally, then run rom2sd1, then do another nandroid of the data?

:eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You never mount "actual partitions", you always use a device file as an intermediate. The actual partition is some range of blocks on the storage device, and the kernel has an internal pair of numbers to identify it, the so called "major" and "minor" device number. The device file (or device node, that's just another name) simply links this number to a name so that programs (mostly for mounting and formatting) can easily refer to the partition. You can see the major and minor numbers if you run "ls -l /dev/block".

Now TWRP has its fstab file, which says mmcblk0p1 is /system and mmcblk0p8 is /data. Also, many ROM installers have hardcoded partitions, e.g. most ROMs for the TF700 format mmcblk0p1 and then mount it as /system to install.

So if we want to install a ROM to the microSD, we can either modify TWRP's fstab (and restart TWRP) and the ROM installer to use different partition names, or we can trick them to see the microSD partitions as mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p8 and then proceed without further modifications to the fstab or the ROM installer. rom2sd1.zip does exactly that - it modifies these device files to point to different partitions. If you are interested how it works, read the shell script inside the zip. :)

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

1. If you use don't use an f2fs-enabled TWRP you can't access (backup, restore, install to) any /data partition formatted as f2fs.

2. Yes, that should work (if you use a TWRP that understands your /data partition). The question is why you want to backup /system since you can reinstall the ROM from the ZIP anyway.

[Asus Transformer TF700] toolmanz:
Been reading the last few posts and I was wondering .... how would I boot to my internal Cromi 5.4 so I can change the kernel (if you recall I installed KK ROM2SD but had Hunds installed on my internal and that is what I got on my KK install) to _that? That way I can get _that's kernal installed on my KK. :)

I have tried a number of different ways - using ROM2SD1 - booting without the SD card in - mounting the internal partition ..... nothing is working. :confused:

Or do I have to blow it all away and start from scratch? :crying: Do I have to use a different recovery? If this has been covered elsewhere just point me to the post .....

Have you also tried it with ART? So far, it does seem quite responsive...(it smokes!)

Only bummer was that Ubuntu app store only had gparted 0.16 vs the 0.18 for the live usb version needed to format f2fs.

I don't know if it would be appropriate to update the op here and in the F2FS thread for install instructions with cromi-kk.. it differs quite a bit from the instructions in that thread but in ours we could just make the title for the rom2sd instruction section more clear that it includes data2sd, and include instructions about flashing the f2fs twrp from that thread in the op here.

Having used CROMI-X with ROM2SD for quite a while I am ready to take KitKat for a spin. I would like your recommendation though (and sorry if this has been discussed before). What is the preferred setup from a performance standpoint:

- CROMBi-kk on internal with F2FS

- CROMBi-kk on internal with F2FS and DATA2SD

- CROMBi-kk on external (ROM2SD) and no F2FS

The nice thing about the internal installation is that I can better utilize the internal storage (e.g. Google Play Music picks up music files on the internal storage), but if the performance is better/smoother with ROM2SD I am willing to sacrifies this. Thanks in advance.
