Has anyone tried or have any issues creating another user on this rom?

I only ask because I tried setting up a second user on this, and when I go to select the newly created user to start setting the account up, I get bombarded with process has stopped messages. Print spool has stopped, Google Play Service has stopped, and a Cyanogenmod Account has stopped, which keeps looping. I can't get it to start into the setup, or the launcher.

If I reboot the tablet and go into the main/first user that was set up with no problem, then I have an error where it won't sync Google Play Service. When I open the Play Store, it asks me to select which Google account, and after selecting, it starts looping that screen and I can't select anything that will get me past it.

Once I remove the 2nd/newly created account, then I don't receive the Google Play sync error. Any ideas?

My interest was why you disabled hw overlays ie. the benefits. You've explained that, however the links john posted tended to recommend against doing that. Either you figured it out yourself or found out from someone else. If disabling hw overlays does not cause any of the issues mentioned in john's links and it improves performance, then it's a good thing. As the old saying goes, your milage may vary, use at your own risk. :D

My Netflix rarely freezes on me, but when it does, I simply close it wait a minute then start it again. And I am watching it 3-4 hours nightly on my tablet (Got a *lot* of shows to catch up on lol)

I will try over the next day or so, shoot me a PM (preferably tomorrow) to nudge me to report back, will ya?

I, personally, recommend not disabling them, as the higher thee version of Android, the greater support for HW overlays the OS and underlying fundamentals of the OS, have. The last link from the Google Android Devs site really opened my eyes as to what it does and how it can be used, and the support that each version of Android has for HW overlays.

but I am still testing - just because the OS is advanced doesn't mean that third party apps, even those updated yesterday, are not still using a very old codebase with no support for HW overlays written in, and thus it might end up being a case by case basis.

Which makes me wonder - is this something that can be enabled / disabled on a per-app basis? That would probably be the best answer....
[Asus Transformer TF700] VisuallyAware:
Thanks - that confirms my findings as well.

Cheers!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Apps do not need to support hardware overlays as they don't talk directly to the hardware - they use the API provided by the framework.

AFAIK hardware overlays are used on the TF700 only for the SystemUI bar and possibly for a video window.

Also note that hardware overlays are not the same as GPU compositing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I tested Netflix and video was freezing badly with sound okay. A couple of things to look at. Tf700 has a problem with poor wify connection. On my tablet it can be less than half my rated download speeds. Turning wifi off and on will reset wifi and get speed back to normal. You can test with dsl speed test Play app or on net. The fix is to go into settings for wifi , three dot upper right corner and turn off battery optimization.

I made these changes and did turn off my Bluetooth, just to state everything i did, and rebooted. Reboot my not be needed. Oh yea i reinstalled Netflix at the beginning. On this rom ive had to reinstalled a couple of apps and so if something is acting up, i reinstall first.

Ran netflix for over two hrs with no cough up.

Hope this helps

Credit sbdags and a couple of others who worked hard on this on cromi. I hope I've stated their fix properly. However above steps are what i did.

Hello again. I was messing around with the settings lastnight and Inoticed that in the dev options that dalvic was selected instead of ART. Thing is I thought I had already changed that. I set it back to ART and restarted when prompted, but when the tablet rebooted I immediately went to settings only to find that it was back to dalvic. Is there something else that I'm supposed to have set on here to try out ART?

I'm using _that v9 oc kernel, journaling enabled... uhhhh, if I wasn't an idiot I would remember my entire configuration. I used all of the optimization options when I flashed. Anyhow, if there is a certain set of options I need to use or something to experiment with ART I'd like to check it out.

Thanks!!

If my memory serves me well I remember sbdags mentioned that the performance of the ROM would differ significantly depending on which recovery he used - that being CWM or TWRP. Is this still the case and has the reason for this been determined?
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
Why is IO performance so different for _that and Hund's kernels?

Hi all,

For some reason, my TF700's IO performance is dramatically better using Hund's kernel than it is with _that's kernel (according to Android Tuner and Quadrant). I think I have the same settings for both. Are there fundamental differences between the two?

Thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
I tend to get this as well. However what I found was that if you just test io on it's own I get similar scores. I don't know why but when tested as an entire test, that scores lower on io. Not sure if there is a real difference or just the way it's tested.

Using Dolphin browser I cannot set the download directory to the external sdcard. Has anyone tried it? I only posted on this thread because I am not sure if it is a Dolphin, Kit Kat or CROMbi-kk 4.4.2 issue or a combination.

It's nearly as plausible as astrology.

The recovery has zero impact at runtime of your ROM, and even the installation is done by the update-binary inside the ZIP - the recovery only provides the UI.

On my non-keyboard dock (Asus Connect Dock), power still does not work after changing the volume on the tab. Not sure if that was part of the fix, but this test kernel still exhibits that behavior for me.

If anyone is still having problems with the latest twrp, play store has a twrp app. It will recognize ur tab and install recovery (latest build) from inside android. I used it on my nexus 5 and my tf300 to replace the modded_that twrp version. It also presents some good twrp features from inside android. Try to donate to the folks that make the recovery tho.....they work hare.

No not really - the CM11 kernel is based form Asus Stock anyway so you are better off using _that's for now. There may be some dev work on CM11 but it is just that - a stock kernel.

All kernels are based on the stock kernel - but each one has different changes. I try to keep mine as close to stock as possible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
Just want to feedback how amazed I am with this ROM. Runs exceptionally well on my tab, so smooth and an absolute joy to use. It's great to have the keyboard shortcuts back, although I need to remind myself not to use the volume buttons, which takes some doing as the physical tab buttons feel pretty poor when I use them.

I notice that when I unlock my tab I am unable to enter my pin code with the dock. I have realised that this is due to the "attention" of the cursor/keyboard is on the widget, rather than the pin entering section. I can scroll across using the cursor keys, or just press with my finger in the box and enter my pin. However on stock/cromi-x I could simply type away to enter the pin as default. Anyone had a play with this?

I can't really find any faults so far, although I'll admit I don't use my tab for many things really. Only thing I noticed is when reducing the resolution down and back up again I was suffering lags. I FC'd one or two apps and that seemed to clear it up.

Keep up the great work, it's great fun trying out what you guys create!
[Asus Transformer TF700] flipflargin:
Hmmm... while testing last night I was able to use the dock keyboard to enter my PIN after unlock, no screen touch necessary. I just retested this using PIN, still works. I changed it to use Password security instead, and that works too, can type directly, no screen touch necessary on unlock.

I did notice that if you use the tablet power button to unlock, there is a couple second delay before keyboard dock key strokes register on screen. So for example I punched the power button on tablet, started typing my 4 digit PIN and saw that only the last two numbers were there. But if I waited two seconds after unlocking using power button, then typed my 4 digit PIN, all 4 numbers appeared fine.

Using the lock key on the keyboard seems to allow me to type immediately (no delay), which is nice. :good:

I am using a tf201 keyboad dock so maybe there is slight hardware difference?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
Out of interest, do you have any widgets on your lockscreen? I have tried and when booting up the widget doesn't have chance to load and I can enter pin as "normal". Maybe this is dependant on the type of widget? I use the cLock widget.

Loading KK

Decided to take a shot at flashing KK. I've got some questions.

The OP says "You must do a full wipe in recovery if coming from another ROM base." . What constitutes the "full wipe" in twrp 2.6.3 that3?

(I've got Cromi 5.4 that v8 on internal.and have ExtSD fomatted with the three partitions)

After the flash of Crombi-KK, and before rebooting, in order to restore my copies of Nova backups and Tibu, can I do that from twrp file manager?

Edit: Will a full wipe delete my earlier nandroid backups?

Thanks for the clarification.+
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
To internal or as ROM2SD?

Factory Wipe in TWRP (default selection under Wipe) will erase all apps and settings, but nothing stored in /data/media

See above, depending on where they are stored, they should still be there. If your asking if TWRP can restore only some folders from a backup: Not to my knowledge. You can restore partitions selectively though....

Not if they are in /data/media = /sdcard/ (depending on your file manager). But you have everything important to you backed up anway, right? ;)h
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
I appreciate your quick help, thanks.

1. Rom2SD

2. Thanks (nothing says "full" in twrp, or I missed it)

3. Internally Tibu backup is stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup.. Nova is stored in /sdcard/data/com.teslacoil..../backup/...

I believe it may be necessary to move the backups for Tibu & Nova to the correct location on the ExtSD card after the switch from rom2sd or Maybe I'm just messed up in my thinking?

Edit: I've got several file managers. Why don't they all maintain the same conventions? It's really confusing for someone used to the Windows file structures.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Oh, oh - you just just touched on my pet peeve - have to restrain myself not to go into a rant...LOL

Once you understand why the file structure is as it is (as in: really messed up for the life long Windows user), it actually makes sense, but you do have my full empathy. Steel yourself: In CM based KK roms it's yet again slightly different and ROM2SD adds one layer of comlexity! :rolleyes:

If you did not have a rom installation on the microSD yet, you don't have to perform a wipe at all.

To move the backups to the KK installation, you can:

1) Install KK as ROM2SD, boot it, install Nova and Tibu, navigate to your internal SD which will be /sdcardi in your file explorer and copy the files to the equivalent location in /sdcard (which is the data partition on your card), or

2) Copy the backup files to the fat32 partition of your microSD (seen as the external microSD by both installations), then install KK to the card and copy them back from your microSD (you would be copying them from the fat32 partition to the /data ext4 partition on the same card).

Does this make sense?

Good day sir... could I please make a small request... could you check out the google backup restore function? I use a lot of profile / wifi triggers and the restore feature is nice as it restores those very well.

Also - could you change the title in the OP under the gparted setup for rom2sd to say rom2sd/data2sd? I didn't bother reading the section since I wasn't using rom2sd and couldn't figure out why data2sd wasn't working... until the last line. I was wondering why I was having trouble getting the data2sd f2fs kernels to work :p

FWIW - using f2fs seems quite smooth. Quadrant scores aren't that hot - about 68xx but it's smooth. Can really tell on a game like bejeweled where it's very jerky under ART. Not sure if the jerkiness in the regular non-f2fs was also due to ART or not now that I've switched.

Whats the difference or benefits betwen ROM2SD vs DATA2SD? whats best?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Several things. First of all, you missed more than one thing in the instructions.

It helps to read the entire set of instructions carefully. Now that you're in the state that you are, grab the flashable TWRP 2.7 flashable for the TF700 and boot into recovery. If you cannot boot into recovery, then you'll probably need to use adb to flash the latest TWRP onto your device.

Data2SD moves the /data from your internal flash to the external (read: microSD) flash. ROM2SD is a way to have multiple ROMs that can be loaded, one on internal, and the rest off the microSD.

2 somewhat different concepts.

Off to try it again.​
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
johnlgalt beat me to it! LOL

My response was a lot less - graphic though.. LOL

...but in substance the same.

A few things:

What you need to do is Factory Wipe in TWRP, the default selection under the Wipe menu. wiping cache is not enough

Make sure you are on the 10.6.1.14.8 or .10 bootloader.

You find the flashable TWRP 2.7 in the Downloads tab at the top of this page
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Figured out what it was - flashed the pre4 kernel. Flashed right kernel and it booted up - but I had to re-enable ART, re-enable dev options to get to ART, and a couple of other things had changed (large icons in Trebuchet, for one thing).

All good now.

Lol - it helps to point out what they missed in big letters - hopefully that will lead them to go back and read what they missed.

Not trying to be a jerk, but reading is fundamental, even if you've been flashing ROMs for 5 years.

OK, going back to cache issues with G+:

Just looked at app info and cache cleaner -both are saying the same thing.

I can see how some of this may be cache info b/c of pic uploads, but honestly, I've taken like 5 pics since the last time I posted about this issue, and 4 (now 6) screenshots.....

140 MB of cache is a LOT.

[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Make a nandroid back of your old rom if you haven't already. Format data! Wait 90 minutes or so, then run the latest installer for the ROM, pick your options in the aroma installer, let it install, then reboot. Wait for a long while for it to boot fully.

Seems like the only difference is that I use calendar on that widget too. Which is interesting because when the attention of the cursor is on the widget, it is on the next calendar notification.... It's not really a big deal and tbh I don't mind losing the calendar on the widget, if that solves it. It just feels more natural to enter the pin with the dock than the screen.

YouTube issues

Hey guys. Thanks for making such a great performing ROM. Now with rom2Sd I think the tablet is finally reaching it's final form.

That said, I'm having issues with YouTube. I get force closes whenever I try to reinstall it. I deleted it since it was causing issues and figured that downloading from the play store might make it work. Anyone have a fix for this? Been scouring through this thread and haven't seen anyone raise this issue the same way, unless I missed something. I might just flash the latest gapps package since it's the next logical thing to do.

You just made my A-List! Please rant...I would like to understand the Android File Structure, maybe point me to some files? (I've searched the XDA Main unsuccessfully)

I don't understand why the OP says wipe. You indicated I didn't need to. I'm coming frome Chromi base to a CM base with KK, right? Confusing.

I don't have a rom on the SD yet, only a few backup files on the fat32 partition.(Will they be available after the rom2sd switch?) You say copy them back from the fat32. To where? I can't see the Ext4 partitions from my file managers? I must be missing something else.

Again, I'm still unsure of the sequence of when the copying of the backup files occurs. After the kk Flash and reboot?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
So, I'm intersted in trying out the data2sd f2fs kernels, but not sure which card would be best to try out. I saw the OP note that the read speed should be 20mbps but reading what, exactly. Here are my test results for 3 cards:

Samsung 32gb Class6:

Sandisk 64gb Ultra U-1:

And, probably best in last place... Sandisk 16gb Class 2 card:

The results are a little mixed between the class 6 card and the U-1 'ultra' card - based on these results, what do you think would be best for data2sd?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Awesome! Glad you got it working.

Did you install the Xposed framework? While that does allow for a good bit of configurability, it does break one thing: ART, the new Android replacement for the Dalvik runtime. ART is *WAY* faster, but there are apps that don't play nicely with ART, including Xposed.

Other than that, sit back and have fun.

The Class 6 looks like it *might* work, but for this to truly be effective, you'll want your fastest card in there, meaning the UHS-1 (U1 as you called it). Plus, it is also the largest one.
