Non-authoritative response here, but I have read various commenters saying that it isn't good to let these tablets drain totally, then be recharged. Better is to recharge them when about half empty or less, as the batteries do better that way. I had an issue with mine where it suddenly began shutting down, and when I followed that advice, it seemed to help. No guarantees....

Oh, and if you are low in charge, shut the tab down totally, recharge, and then turn it back on.

Blessings.

I'm afraid I've got a case if #3.

ROM 11.0-20140921 no patch

Kernel 3.1.10-that11+that ws#3

I absolutely love this rom and my tablet and it's certainly not mission critical but occasionally I am unable to wake it up from sleep mode and have to hold the button down to reset it and reboot it. With family issues and holidays coming up by no means do I want to annoying anybody but just thought I would pass this along and if anyone wants I'll be happy to provide a logcat when I get home. But it is good to catch up with everything going on in this thread!

Never got an answer on how to start a new post, so I am using the reply function.

I have been using Zombi for the last couple of weeks and I really like it. I have used Cromi-X and Crombi-KK and I like this one the most.

I tried to switch to using ART and can't seem to get the right combination of rom and launcher to make it work. I seem to remember reading that Omni doesn't work with ART, so I switched to Apex launcher, since I used it to run ART with Crombi-KK.

The furthest I got after trying different roms was the optimizing apps screen. The first time I got there it got to app 24 and stuck there,so I rebooted and it got stuck on app 1. I let it run overnight and it was still on app 1.

I like the speed of ART and don't like constantly having to clean Dalvik. Also since that is where android is going I want to get used to it.

Does anyone have the right combination?

Also with any rom installed, when I switch to ART I have to re-flash or it gets stuck in the bootloader. What's up with that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I don't have any big answers for you here.... ART is very fussy (which is why when one selects it from developer options, you get that warning message). I've had it running before with Zombi-X, and suspect the way I did it was to flash (after a factory wipe) a minimal Zombi-X. Then, before activating the network and allowing updates and so forth, I went to settings > developer options and selected ART and rebooted. I don't promise that will work but you could try.

Now, you say you had to reflash after installing ART. If you reflashed, I am virtually certain you lost the ART setting and went back to the default Dalvick setting. No rom I've seen for the TF700 allows you to select ART by default.

Certain apps will "gag" on ART (or vice-versa). For instance, I currently run Asus Apps 2.1 on top of Zombi-X. At some point I may try ART again... but I suspect it won't work, as the Asus Framework doesn't like ART (if I recall right). When you say ART actually started the install and then hung at a certain point in the optimizing apps process, it may have reached that one app that ART doesn't like / it doesn't like ART.

I hope something here is of help. But if you can get ART to install, don't reflash the ROM or you'll lose it again.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
Shonkin, thanks for the reply. I guess i'll have to either go back to crombi kk or stick with dalvik on zombi. By the way when I chose ART in developer options and re-flash (because it hangs up in bootloader otherwise) , ART sticks.

Now, can you tell me how to start a new post when I have a new question or topic so that I don't have to find one of my old posts and use the reply function? Thanks again!

Problem with lagging.

Hello every one. I have TF 700, but it was very slow and lagging etc. I rooted and installed CROMI-X 4.2.1., but still very slow and lagging especially browser (I use stock browser) .Give me some advice this Crombi-kk 4.4.4 ROM is it better than CRom-x 4.2.1 .Is there any way to go back to stock Ice cream sandwich 4.0.3 , because I think this is the best ROM. Propose me some suggestions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Once on JB you cannot downgrade the bootloader to flash an ICS rom. So you're SOL on that idea.

But I wonder if you installed CROMi-X properly... First of all, you seem not to be on the latest version. You should flash CROMi-X 5.4.

Did you do a full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) before flashing the rom?

Are you on the correct bootloader for your rom?

Did you flash a compatible recovery for both?

[Asus Transformer TF700] steker6:
hi I think that every thing is OK. Bootloader ver. is 10.6.1.14.10. latest version.

Custom recovery is TWRP don`t remember the version but more than 2.5.0.0 may be 2.6.1.0.

Full wipe before and after intall the ROM.

Rom version is Cromi-x 5.4 deodex , processor in on the max speed (1,8 Mhz as I remeber) alternative from the options of custom instalation.

I did not separate the micro SD or the internal memory on the partions. May be this is my mistake. I don`t know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Full wipe AFTER the rom installation? Some files are flashed to /data during installation. If you flashed the rom, then wiped /data, you crippled the rom. If that is what you did, just flash the rom again without any wipes.

Your bootloader is ok for any rom for the TF700, including KK roms, but your recovery is pretty outdated. Download and fastboot flash TWRP 2.8.1.0.

If you want to try CROMBi-KK you again would have to wipe cache, Dalvik and data before you flash it.

Your last sentence probably refers to data2sd? That's optional and you do not have to implement it for CROMiX or any other rom to run on your tablet - and they all should run much better than stock...

9.4.5.30 - which is the oldest bootloader that can be downgraded to - was the last ICS version for the TF700T.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it in the future.

On another note, steker6 mentioned the slow browser. I have tried 8 or 9 different browsers and have never found one that didn't have some lag. Some of them can be very frustrating. I always find myself going back to Next browser. It is the fastest one I have come across. It also has a browse faster add on. It's also good to have more than one browser, as l have found that they render pages differently sometimes.

Hi All,

I'm confused on something, maybe someone can set me straight.

I set up -kk on a rom2sd card. It's a 64G card, partitioned per the instructions at the beginning of the

ROM thread to:

1 30G fat32 (sdcard)

2 31G ext4 (data)

3 ~1.5G ext4 (system)

After installing, partition 3 ends up with the OS top level:

addon.d bin build.prop extras framework lost+found priv-app usr xbin

app boot etc fonts lib media tts vendor

partition 1 ends up with:

Android LOST.DIR

partition 2 ends up with:

anr app-private dalvik-cache gps media property sensors tf

app backup data lightsensor mediadrm radio sqlite.log user

app-asec bugreports dontpanic local misc resource-cache ssh zipalign.db

app-lib cal.bin drm lost+found nvcam security system zipalign.log

On partition 2 under media/0 is the internal user data area (not sure the correct noun - the stuff

you see by default in a file browser).

Is this correct? I thought the stuff under media/0 would be in the sdcard partition. I don't understand

what is in that sdcard partition. This is the second time I've done this (bought a faster card) and they both ended up the same.

Would some kind soul explain to me the relationship between these partitions and how they end up in the filesystem?

Thanks in advance!

TB Pro problem

I am using the internal version.

I have a sandisk 64G SDcard. Card has 32G free space.

Tried to run TB and got the message "insufficient space"

Backup location is on the card.

What to do next?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Double-check that your backup location is the physical card and not the emulated sdcard on the internal storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jdor:
Already did that.

Could it be connected with a new version of TB?

Do I need superSU?

Did you set up your card data2sd or rom2sd? Did you make a nandroid backup before doing anything?

I am on internal only. No data2sd or rom2sd.

I did a TB backup in the past to the SDcard, but I remember that TB was updated recently to a new version.

You should be discussing this with the developer of TB. You also might want to check TB's settings to see where it is pointed to save backups.

Did this get solved? Wondering if you remembered to flag all three as primary partitions on microsd card?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kenryan:
No, I didn't get a response. I did create all three as primary partitions. I didn't set the boot flag on any though, should I have?

I ended up just barrelling ahead, I wiped the card and relaid it out with the data partition much larger and sdcard small. I'm guessing the sdcard partition is just there so the OS has something to put on the sdcard mount point. A couple apps stick a small amount of data on it but mostly it seems to be ignored. Which is too bad, it appears that when -KK gets reinstalled (i.e. to change options) the data partition gets wiped. It would be nice if the user data area could be preserved for a "dirty flash".

Logcat Question

Hya guys!!

So I have been away from this post for a bit but continue to rock my TF700 and still love the Crombi KK ROM. The trick is that it still seems like what some others have said just kinda....... laggy....

Now I wanted to say that I didn't want to go to Data2SD so that I can maximize my storage space and tried ROM2SD in the past but didn't really help either. I am running LagTrim and even an Internet Booster.

My friend has a TF201 and I put a Crombi ROM on hers, and it just ROCKS! Sure it benchmarks slower (in the 4k range) but its responsive and doesn't seem to sometimes fail to wake up like my 700 does.

Tried ART but that didn't seem to improve much

I am running the R1 release and even ran the patch last week but still no real improvement.

So I ran a logcat.... (see attached) and noted that I keep seeing an error pop up that reads -

Failed on audit_set_pid with error: Protocol not supported

Could this be part of my problem?

As always, thank you for all your continued support!

wipe internal storage as part of a full wipe?

like a lot of people, i've been seeing a lot of lag on my tf700 tablet. i recently installed CROMBi-kk R1 9/21 and it didn't help. in fact, the lag seemed to get worse. for instance, it takes about 10 seconds just to wake up from sleeping. anyway, i searched the threads for suggestions and came across this one by [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION].

the suggestion was to do a full wipe in twrp by going to wipe->advanced wipe and selecting everything except for the micro sd card. that means selecting system, data, cache, dalvik, and internal storage. i'm not new to installing roms and recoveries. i did it on my vzw galaxy nexus and vzw lg g3. i always do full wipes but this is the first i ever heard of wiping internal storage along with everything else. i'm willing to give it a try, after i've backed up everything on the internal storage, but why is wiping the internal storage necessary? how does it help?

my bootloader version is 10.6.1.14.10-20130801. i'm running twrp 2.8.1.0.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I doubt it. I have seen that error in practically every logcat I have looked at. Seems to be SELinux related and "normal". IDK

Kinda unfair to compare a "used" CROMBi-KK installation on the Tf700 with a brand spanking clean installation on the TF201. ;)

You have to flash a new bootloader and recovery to the TF201, probably wiped everything totally clean and possibly did not have all the user installed apps on there when you compared it. Do the same to your TF700, then compare.... :cyclops:

The delayed wakeup seems to be a CM bug. At least I get the same on ZOMBi. Not as much, but it's still there. Since development has basically stopped on these roms for now, you'll have to live with it or flash CROMi-X.

There is no way around the slow memory except implementing data2sd and format /data to f2fs to avoid the snowballing-lag-over-time effect. And even with that an occasional clean install probably makes all the difference.

For the wakeup lag see above ^^^

Wiping internal should not make a difference and I doubt that it does in most cases, but....

What you put into your trunk should not affect the way the car drives - unless you but 20 sacks of cement in there, right?

Then you call your dealer and complain about the car being sluggish (forgetting to mention those 20 sacks of cement)....:laugh:

lj has spent countless hours trying to sort out the myriad problems we had and I bet quite often it was due to something left behind from a prior installation, incomplete wipe etc.....

What would you do if you are in technical support?

Why's the first instruction you get from almost any support department: Wipe all your crud off there, then try again?

From a support perspective it makes sense.

If you have the same problem no matter which rom you flash, it makes sense.

If you are a clean-freak, it's mandatory.

Other than that, it's unneccessary :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Unidave199:
I would agree with your assessment except I just checked. The TF 201 is running Combi KK also. And Josh had stayed with me for 6 hours getting a new bootloader and ROM etc..

The tf700 is incredible and I simply want to maximize the most I can and get the best performance I can out of it so thought that I might have done something wrong on my end and figured it would be worth publishing the logcat to see if anyone noticed anything

[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
Just ran across some information on Asus tablets and lag while reading about the lollipop update for my nephew's nexus 7.

More recently users have been noticing very poor performance with ASUS Android tablets whenever there's substantial background IO going on, particularly multitasking while writes are taking place (e.g. downloading a torrent and browsing the web). The slowdowns range from multi-second long pauses to sluggish response time. The video below shows you what can happen on a Transformer Pad Infinity while downloading a bunch of large files in the background:

Even though downloading a large file is a largely sequential write operation, any other action performed while that download is in progress will effectively turn the IO stream from purely sequential to pseudo-random. Most of these eMMC and other cheap MLC NAND flash controllers are really glorified SD cards, primarily optimized for reading and writing large images as if they were used in a camera. What they're not designed for is to run and be used in a full blown multitasking OS. Some manufacturers seem to do a better job of picking their storage solution, and the Kingston eMMC in the Nexus 7 is faster than the Hynix e-NAND ASUS has used in previous tablets. Neither is perfect however. There's a tangible impact on simple multitasking if you're downloading a lot of files or installing apps in the background. Even operations in memory are quite negatively affected by background IO.

What the developers have done to make these tablets usable is amazing.

So finally got around to take tablet apart to troubleshoot. Started taking apart sliding a credit card between screen and backing when it turned on by itself. Screen worked fine.

[Asus Transformer TF700] altwu:
thanks for reply. great analogy with the 20 sacks of cement. i didn't have much in internal storage, so it wasn't a big deal to back it up to a micro sd and then wipe it before install. i switched over to cromi with hunds kernel and the extreme tweaks. the tablet seems to be doing better. i ran the game conduit hd and it was nice and smooth. there's still some lag, so the debugging continues.

Issues

Been using this rom for about 2 months. Went through my normal routine of rebooting my TF700 once a week just to "clean" the tablet. I hold down the power button and just tap on reset. I did this last night and this morning the tablet is still in the boot animation (I choose the nexus one). I don't know what happened, I haven't installed any new apps prior to this happening.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Did you mean "reset" or "reboot"? All I can tell you is that -- my experience only, no generalizations meant or implied -- I had been using Crombi-KK but noticed recent instability issues with it that surprised me (it is older and allegedly more stable than the other popular custom rom for TF700, Zombi-X). But a switch to Zombi-X has proven more stable overall for me. You may want to try Zombi and see what results you get.

No diss to Crombi programmers meant or implied... anyone who helped on either Crombi, Zombi, or both, deserves only thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ohphoshizzle88:
Yeah I meant reboot. I will take a look at that rom and see. Earlier version of crombi gave me issues too after a couple months of use. I will give Zombi a try.

Fstrim using cron

Hi,

Finally I found some time (vacation) to play with some scripts based on the above idea that fstrim should run regularly. I did it using cron and it's working without any problem (deep sleep was one I was afraid of). I think the idea might goes further with other scripts like clearing the cache or scripts which are placed in init.d and need a reboot to run. I am using CROMBi-kk R1 with your kernel but no f2fs as I was trying to install Zombi and had a problem with restoring DATA from a nandroid backup and chose ext4, during repairing partitions, by mistake... I mention this as I recall the free lagfix app couldn't trim DATA partition if was formated with f2fs, not sure though.

HI,

I had those freezes and sbdags's patch helped but after a clean installation (no patch) those freezes didn't happen so I am using it till now without any problem at all. I haven't had much time to post it but I was remembering your post about the clean installation.

Anyway,

I want to wish a happy new year to all here!

I have CM11 on internal. I used the current downloads to install this ROM as ROM2SD, with _that's kernel. Install went ok, but after reboot the logo keeps showing and nothing happens. I know it takes time, but it's been doing that for about an hour now. Is this a known issue? I did not wipe internal, but I thought I wouldn't have to do this...

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
CM 11 does not support rom2sd. You have to have CROMi-X, CROMBi-KK or ZOMBi on intrnal to run rom2sd.

I believe it's the preinit scripts that are missing, but don't quote me on that ;)

Now the tablet is trying to boot to internal after you probably flashed a kernel not meant for CM11.
[Asus Transformer TF700] h?2:
thanks for the quick reply. But if I choose ROM2SD what does it care what is installed internally? Or does it always try some multi-boot stuff (that fails in my case)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I hope [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] can chime in on this since my understanding of this is rudimentary at best, but here it is:

You have to remember that rom2sd is a hack. The initial boot sequence will always run off the internal SD no matter what you have installed.

Take a look at this:

http://www.kpbird.com/2012/11/in-depth-android-boot-sequence-process.html

It's during the init phase that mountpoints for /system and /data are set.

_that created some scripts that run during this phase and check for the presence of a properly formatted microSD.

If present, the external /system and /data partitions are mounted and the rom installed to them will boot.

If not present internal /system and /data will be mounted as usual.

That means your internal setup has to support rom2sd and CM 11 does not. You have to have one of sbdags/lj roms on internal to be able to run another rom as rom2sd.

I believe you can run CM11 as rom2sd, but I seem to remember you have to take an additional step. Something about changes to the ramdisk, but frankly - that's beyond my paygrade. ;)
