sbdags, i really need your help now...

I decided to upgrade to this 4.4 rom, coming from you older CROMI-X 4.3 rom, but when I flashed it, something must've went wrong, because there were like, some penguins (??) and a few command lines in the boot screen. I think it must be because of the kernel I flashed, anyway, the tablet didn't actually boot, it just went to TWRP again (my version is 2.5.0.0, could that've been it?), and I don't know how to transfer my old rom back to the tablet again, because it's in my computer, and it only goes to twrp now... Will I have to use adb.exe? I don't know how to use it
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
The penguins are part of the kernel the "few command lines" are the preinit script. As far as the version of twrp you are using.....

Why do so many skip the OP? The OP is very informative and easy to follow imho . :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheBloodEagle27:
No, i didn't mean to skip it, I even downloaded goomanager to update it... But it somehow didn't update to 2.6.x.x :eek:

Now I just want to know a way to put the updated twrp .zip into my tablet and flash it, since i'm only being able to boot into my current twrp. It'll have to be through adb i guess... But i don't know how to use it >.<
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You should use "fastboot" instead of adb...:) If you make a typo in the adb "dd" command, you could mess up your device, just my opinion...:D

Please read this post and has a very good guide for installing TWRP.... Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Well that worked, thanks! But... Is it normal for this ROM to be a little laggy even after a clean install?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
CROMi-X is faster if that is what you mean? I have the same feeling too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vordalek:
absolutely unable to install

I´m a full useless usuary

From 4.2.1 and twrp I cant install Crombi

From TWRP flashing it says its ok but restarts, shows the 4 penguin and..dont works, it restarts to TWRP

What I´m doing bad?

For moments I restore to

ROM ★★[4.2.1][20-7][CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.7.0][ODEX/DEODEX 10.6.1.14.8/15.3]

And it´s ok but from this I cannot install across the full process

Anyone can help me?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Did you do a full wipe of internal storage... If so pull a logcat on boot....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] vordalek:
I did it

It says ok all but in start remains logo flashing and doesnt goes to run

I´ve reboot to twrp and can´t restore the last rom, unable to mount system and data
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
That sounds like a bootloader and or a recovery issue to me..

I am getting the exact same problem as above, the 4 penguins and nothing just rebooting into TWRP ..

I restored my nandroid backup and now im back to square one, which is ok.. just was hoping to have this new rom :/

Hi guys,

How did you finally get past the problem...

I have the updated "-that" twrp recovery...updated bootloader...and it is still not working for me...

i only get the penguin screen witch afterwords it reboots back into recovery, or it gets the the "crombi KK" screen, and stops on that screen

twrp always gives me an error saying that it can't mount data\internal storage partition.

can you please point me to where the solution is?

that replied to me in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50950471&postcount=266 about his modified TWRP

So, since 2.7 doesn't have _that's pre-KK ZIP compatibility edits, unless we know for a fact that 2.7 is compiled in the same manner as previous builds to ensure pre-KK ZIP compatibility, it might break cROMi-X installation. Whereas, the 2.6.3 _that _V3 has everything that 2.7 has and definitely has the pre-LKK ZIP compatibility built in.

So, for cROMi-X you'll want to stick with 2.6.3_that to be safe (until we get verification), which it seems can also be use for cROMBi-kk as well, for those who want to swap back and forth between the two ROM bases.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah right! I'll add it to the patch. Btw the Asus keyboard in your apps package is the 4.2 version. There was no keyboard.apk in your package....
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Asus Keyboard Dock Patch 2

Yeah too flakey - removing
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You can flash CM with TWRP, but you need a compatible version (2.6.3.1 and earlier were based on kernels that didn't support SELinux), and if it doesn't work for you, their official answer will be "use CWM, because that's what we use and support".

The only thing that my change fixes is that assertions in pre-KitKat installers work even if the recovery was compiled in a KitKat source tree. Assertions are used to prevent you from flashing a ROM made for a different device. If your installer doesn't use assertions then it won't matter. AFAIK the CROMI installer doesn't use any assertions, so it isn't even affected by this.

So you are free to use either TWRP 2.6.3-that3 or TWRP 2.7.0.0 - both should work for every ROM out there for our TF700. With my version you are testing my compatibility patch that Dees_Troy has now merged for future releases. :)

I'll have a new GApps package up in a bit which should fix 2 issues:

1. Calendar Sync not working

2. GApps can be flashed in its own session now

Grab it here whilst I update the links elsewhere :)

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=4679

Note I have removed the check to see what package you are on - so it assumes you know what you are doing. I.e., if you flash it in the same session as ROM2SD is selected in the main rom it will also flash to ROM2SD. If you flash it in a separate session (i.e., after a reboot) it will default to internal so you would have to use the rom2sd1.zip again to repoint TWRP first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
For those of you who want to squeeze a bit more performance ( :D ) out of this device you can reduce the resolution down to 1280x800.

To do this you issue the following commands in a terminal emulator and it will change immediately - sometimes you have to reboot for icons etc to resize properly .....

su
wm density 160
wm size 1280x800

To go back to normal

su
wm density reset
wm size reset

Note this will survive a reboot

And the results - much better 2D and 3D scores ;)

Enjoy messing :D

This not a letter of pity, but one of thanks. I didnt think you would understand the depth of my feelings without a little background. I had to retire early due to problems develoing from spinal bifida. This has limited my activities and on my tablets throughout the day, doing whatever.

I also have treatment resistant prostate cancer. My medicine is over $7000 a month. We gotten help with finances so at this time it's not as bad as it could be. Still I'm of of pocket $500+ per month just for medicine. I have no clue what next week will bring but as of today were okay. I got good news today because I found out new medicine is working.

Enough about me.

Starting with Scott and then sbdags add in _that's, let me know, and many others along the way, and now lj50036 this thread has been a very I important part of my life. I read post every day. I respond perhaps more than I should when I think I have something to add. I learn, oh have learned. Sbdags threads have been and are both meaningful and activity full endeavors for me. I wonder how many flashes I done and wonder of wonders my babies still work and are better than ever.

Sbdags said how much more fun the tf700 was over the tf701, and I get it. If tf700 was great out of the box maybe non of this would have happened. So the tablet I hate to love, and I do, has brought us all together. A community from around the world, form a small town in eastern Oregon to the great urban centers of the world. And we are here, trying to get our tablets running better.

So I want to thank all of you, and especially want to thank lj50036 for his work in making this huge leap forward. I can still be amazed by this tablet. Thank you so much lj50036, you help make my day more interesting than it would be. And as always a special thanks to sbdags for picking up the ball and keeping this development going.

Isn't the point of alogcat to not have to use ADB? alogcat should be reading the device logs but it does not seem to be. I have the developer settings set to: Root access - apps and ADB, and Android debugging - Checked.

I have watched a number of video tutorials on how to use alogcat, and mine is not working like theirs do. What am I doing wrong?

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need adb working to get a logcat from the pc. You can do it on the device using a terminal and the command logcat in the same way - obviously only works if you have a booting device otherwise you have no choice - you must use adb.

That's not a reboot it's an android restart. Are you using the dock? You'll need a logcat to diagnose it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I almost always have restarts when I have multiple touches on the screen simultaneously, as in when playing a game, or else when I swipe something, think that I mis-swiped, and swipe again, only to realize that the tablet has locked is is about to melt down - which it does.

To further clarify -the only time my tablet reboots is after I have used some sort of multi-touch (that I have been able to see).
[Asus Transformer TF700] tursiops:
Yes, my many restarts are often when I've touched the screen a lot, but not always. It seems like it is when it is tying to do several different things all at once. I wonder if the screen is too sensitive, trying to work too fast....
[Asus Transformer TF700] pipopipz:
This is weird. I also have noticed this. Felt like how something reacts when available RAM has run out, only that I dont have any proof that it is remotely connected to RAM.

Based off cm-11.0-20140610-crombi-kk-tf700t 4.4.3 source by lj50036. Compiled by sbdags.

ART doesn't seem to boot so don't try it for now

REQUIREMENT for upgrade and ROM2SD - You must update your internal kernel to That v10 if you want to boot ROM2SD.

So you either need a 4.2 based rom like CROMi-X on internal with _thatv10 or 20140613 CROMBi-kk with either kernel on internal before going to ROM2SD.

_that v10 Kernel Thread
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Is the ART broken on the 4.4.3 CM11 source, or just in this ROM?

If just this ROM, I'll be more than happy to start playing and seeing what is going on and capturing logcats and whatnot to help figure it out....

Without ART, my tablet pretty much sucks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes if you would like to test do this..

A clean install.... FULL WIPE :)

Install the rom as you would like, remember don't choose Xposed Framework...

On first boot, setup everything your google account and what not, but do not install any apps from the play store .....

Let the rom chill for 10 - 15 minutes.....

Reboot the tablet one time....Then after that enable ART .....

take a boot cat of this boot and shoot it to me at jl52741@gmail.com

[Asus Transformer TF700] psudeke:
Could this be something with _that's kernel not having SELinux support? I couldn't get ART running on _that's kernel, but it does run on the CM11 kernel. i pulled a logcat while stuck in a bootloop, and it was full of lines like:

[ 06-14 10:30:02.920 535: 535 E/auditd ]
Failed on audit_set_pid with error: Protocol not supported

which from my googling seemed to point to SELinux, comparing the defconfig from from his kernel to the stock cm11 one, i see that _that's kernel is missing all the CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX lines. i could be way off as i'm still learning how all this works, but figured i'd throw it out there
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah yes that would make sense! :)

_that doesn't support SELINUX deliberately as it breaks NTFS and some other file type support.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It breaks NTFS and exFAT on the stock ROM (and CROMi-X) - but NTFS support on CM should use ntfs-3g, which does not need a proprietary kernel module.

And didn't ART already work fine with previous versions of my kernel, which also do not support SELinux?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Yes it did. But they supposedly updated ART for 4.4.3, so who knows what they did?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I have crombi-kk 4.4.3 running on internal with _thats.v10 kernel and f2fs. I switched to ART and although is stayed at the boot animation for about 10 minutes then the upgrade android screen took a while, it running very well and my quadrant score is over 9200 but I don't have screenshot on with 4.4.3.

Edit:

I am starting to think that using ART on crombi-kk 4.4.3 and _thats.v10 kernel, it may be best to do a complete wipe first or maybe use f2fs?

Anyway ART seems better than before so far! [emoji41]

As you can read I didnt ask for a Fix at all, because I reverted back to Techfusion+ which is currently the fastest and most battery friendly ROM for the TF700. But of course I can provide some more info if it helps. When the Transformer is docked there is no boot possible. After the preinit phase of that10 kernel is says booting and the tablet reboots in a bootloop.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Does that mean it boots or not? :)

When you say boots in a bootloop - does the bootanimation start or not? This is important as I don't have a dock so have no chance of debugging it unless I get some help. Telling me techfusion is a better rom doesn't help I'm afraid.
