Soft Keys

Hya Lartomar,

I had the same problem as you but I had one advantage. I have the physical keyboard so I was able to use the "backout" button on the keyboard to navigate around. Without knowing what you did or didn't change on the settings may I suggest trying to get into your apps and open up your gravitybox and look under the 'navigation' setting. I believe that there is an option to 'turn on' the navbar keys and even set up colors!

The only other solution is to make a backup of your settings in your recovery and just do a 'dirty' flash of KK. I think it will restore the default settings from the Xposed framework but wont delete any of your files and settings.

I am still quite a n00b so I don't have all the answers but can certainly pass on my mistakes!!

Keyboard Dock

IMHO I say go for it!

One of the few major advantages the Transformer Series originally had was that the built in battery gave you 12+ hours of battery life and I have definitely found that to be the case. I have had to take some long flights to Africa and having that much available power is a definite plus!!

The ability to 'close' the combined keyboard and tablet turns it into a metal covered case that can resist damage (I already dropped mine once.....sigh) and yes it does make it 'topheavy' but it acts like a built in stand that you can position into many angles that allow media viewing at a comfortable position. A BT keyboard wont be able to do any of those things.

For me.... and just me.... I use it to consume video media (Netflix - TiVo recordings - podcasts) and to handle E-mail and general web browsing and at my job (paramedic) I may have to 'stand' the tablet anywhere....car seat, dashboard, ambulance stretcher, station table, arm rest of chair.... and the 'weight' of the keyboard allows me to be able to 'set it and forget it' in the position needed.

Oh yeah, the built in USB receiver also allows me to transfer data from my phone/tablet/external drives which makes this a portable file manager as well!

So I say yes, the keyboard will allow you to enhance and augment the wide range of uses the TF series can bring you. I am sorry to see they have stopped using the keyboard as a battery in the latest models (but they are Windows 8... a whole other story!)

Hope this helps... I will like to see what others think...

Howdy folks - does anyone use the spotify app with an extSD data install? I just went ahead and formatted my card as a tiny 1st unformatted partition and the big chunk as a 32gb data partition f2fs - but get an error that spotify can't find a sd card to install it's data on. I'm not sure why it won't just use the "internal storage" - which has plenty of room.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sziggins:
Hi,

Check if the build.prop has the next line:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

otherwise add it.

Hope it helps, cheers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
UniDave, As far as I know there is not an option to backup settings in TWRP unless you meant data or doing a nanroid back up. But I did reflash the ROM and wiped cache and davkic and now the keys are back. It's really weired, I went to Gravitybox and disable all the nav settings and rebooted but that did not fix it.

sziggins, I add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in the build.prop just encase

I ever decide to use the Android L navigation module.

Thanks guys.:highfive:

You bring up a good point! I did mean Nandroid backup but the TWRP recovery doesn't call it as such. Is a TWRP system backup = a Nandroid ? Are they the same thing?

Newest ROM

Well just updated to the latest ROM that came out in the last day or two. At first I thought it looked great. I loved the light theme. but almost immediately I can't get into settings, it keeps crashing and some apps won't load. I am trying rebooting but it hasn't helped yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jdgesmlls:
Hi nate39,

Did you upgrade from a previous version of CROMBi-kk? I originally had a similar/same issue where any Android L theme would install fine but when I tried to go into settings, I would get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"

I started off on the CROMBi-kk 07/13 release after a full wipe, and updated to the 07/19 release and encountered these issues. I also had issues installing other themes from the PlayStore. (Try to install Blakkat Lite - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.djdarkknight96.theme.blakkatlite and see if you get an error from the playstore)

Here is what I did to resolve the issue.

1. Saved all desktop/user settings from my launcher (I use Apex but I believe all have the option to save profiles)

2. Created a backup of all User/System Apps with Titanium Backup to my external microSD.

3. Rebooted into TWRP recovery, created a new Nandroid backup just in case of the current configuration and did a full wipe (formatted)

4. Installed CROMBi-kk 07/19 release, added my accounts etc.

5. Restored my launcher settings

6. Restored my apps with Titanium Backup restore.

I spent a few hours tweaking settings etc. but nothing major. I haven't encountered the issue since and I have updated to the 0810 release, flashing over the 0719 release.

Another theory I had was that possibly the Asus Framework that is installed with the Asus Apps package may have been causing this but I never pursued this as I did a fresh flash.

Hope this helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Just sent you a PM on this... let me know if I can help. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Thanks, hopefully I won't have to do all that. I finally long tapped on my battery icon and it went into settings and stayed there where I changed to the dark theme and it has been fine ever since. This is definitely a nice looking ROM
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Just an OT FYI... Servers Ultimate Pro, normally $9.00 is today's Amazon Free App of the Day. Haven't had much time to play with it, but it's pretty comprehensive and well reviewed. Worth the download if you do that sort of thing.

[Asus Transformer TF700] spizzlo:
Sorry if this has been covered, this is all just so damn confusing.

I am running data2sd and I'm all good there. I want to get f2fs running, and I followed a tutorial I found, but it's not right. f2fs is now running on internal, but it's still ext4 on micro sd card. I have attached a photo from my boot screen. Thank you for your help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you want TWRP to format external /data to f2fs, you have to flash data2sd1.zip from post #2 first.

That orients TWRP toward the external data partition. Without flashing the zip it will always act on the internal partitions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] spizzlo:
Ok so I flashed data2sd zip them format data failed. Do I need to flash data2sd then reinstall the rom?

Edit: I was perusing Pretoriano80's thread and I saw someone with the same issue. I guess I need to change external to F2FS in gparted? I'm gonna try that and cross my fingers. Thanks for the help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Essentrix:
Was having similar issues but sbdags and berndblb helped a lot. Already had CROMi-X on the internal with F2FS. Used berbdblb tutorial for beginners to install 2.7.1.1 then data2sd1.zip, format /data to f2fs, install the team's latest kk ROM (ROM2SD option) and all done very quickly and simply.

Using it now and pretty smooth though I'd love to use ART - gather it doesn't work with F2FS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
ART should work exactly the same with f2fs as it does with ext4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] spizzlo:
Awesome thanks. Can you link to that tutorial post?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nameneeded:
Very new to this. First try at it really. I'll try to be clear though. :)

Decided I wanted to try crombi-kk as my TF700 with factory JB 4.2.1 has been acting very slow even after fresh updates and restoring back to stock (no apps)

Heard that rooting would allow me some options to find things to improve performance (like upgrade from JB) so started that process.

Did the Asus unlock thing- no problems. Did the developer thing- no problems. Checked off both boxes. Was going to root when I saw that it would not work with build ...10. Went back to build ....08-no problems. Then used motochopper to root. Root checker told me I'm rooted. Had some issues getting the su binaries (don't know what those are) going but all that seemed to work once I got TWRP (2.6.3) installed via fast boot method. All looked good. :)

Then I copied the Crombi-kk file to my external SD card and followed the instructions using TWRP to install. All looked good, made some selections using 'recommended' when noted. Once done it said successful! Then I selected reboot. It told me that it was no longer rooted and did I want to root. I said yes (the first time) and then saw 4 penguins come on the screen then a blurb about no rom something on microSD then it rebooted back to TWRP. I reinstalled to backup and tried again but this time I did not select it to root.... same thing. :( I thought maybe I need to have the ROM file on the SDcard as well as the Crombi-kk but the mirrors (torrent) don't have them so I figure they must not be needed.

So I tried again this time using TWRP to wipe first. Same thing.... 4 penguins, no rom detected, kicked out.

So what did I miss?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I'm not entirely sure I understand parts of your post, but first:

You do have TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed? That's the minimum requirement, I would update it to 2.7.1.1.

It almost sounds as if you install the rom as rom2sd without having your microSD formatted accordingly.

What do you select in the Aroma installer at the very beginning?

Normal (to internal), rom2sd or data2sd?

Try the installation again, choose the "normal" option and at the last page in Aroma use the option to save the installation log.

Then, back in TWRP, go to advanced and save the recovery log. Then reboot.

Post the logs if you are still stuck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nameneeded:
I presume that by Aroma you mean the install gui for the rom flash? The one that askes me what version, browsers, etc. I want. I am pretty sure I selected normal but will pay attention. My microSD card is formatted FAT32.

I'll upgrade the TWRP (I have 2.6.3.0) when I get home from work and try again. Thanks for the tips! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can't install rom2sd without pre-formatting you sdcard in gparted into 3 partitions as fat32 / ext4 / ext4. Please read post 2 first so you understand the procedure ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Essentrix:
Really _that? It seems to go into a boot loop for me.

Thought it was an F2FS - ART incompatibility with this ROM. Might try again. How long should I wait?

My bad _that - all working just a little impatient this end... :)

Haven't got it on hand. Just do a quick search or ask one of the guys. It isn't hard to find and everyone here is incredibly helpful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] merril:
best settings?

Hi,

I've been using this rom for a few months as rom2sd and it was awesome. My SDCard gave out and I need to rebuild. This will only be my second time reflashing and I do not have the luxury of experimenting with setups.

What is the optimal setup for speedy browsing, video and having app updates run in the background?

The options I do not fully understand are:

Using the GPU to offload 2d rendering (2 options)

The Advanced Options on the final page of aroma

Benefits of Rom2SD vs Data2SD or F2FS

Appreciate any kind offers of experiences with the options.

Thank You,

Merril

This is crazy

I feel like I'm about to get a new tablet with the TF700T history of terrible internal storage, my chronic need to run latest AOSP, and my frequent whining for data2sd support in CM11 which was slapped down so hard in other threads.

This ROM is what I've been waiting for since I got this tablet. I will take gladly use a ROM that is CM11 based and is slower than stock based but using my internal SD (64G chip).

Thank you, sdbags. Also, your instructions are amazing. Thanks for that.

Oh, and thank you for being an amazing ROM builder who kindly fields questions from newbs.

I am having trouble updating TWRP to _that compiled version. Using the computer adb recognizes the device but when I run fastboot commands all it says is waiting on device. I know its me, the last time I just flashed sbdags bootloader with TWRP 2.6.1. :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Are you booted into fastboot, bootloader screen?? If so type

What is the outcome if this??

There is also a zip of [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]s recovery in the download tab that is flashable from your current recovery... If that helps any.. Thx lj

I bookmarked reference sites about adb and such before I left for the evening. I would appreciate a link to the USB drivers for the TF700 - hadn't found those yet.

Will have to be a weekend thing. Looking forward to finally learning this essential skill.

Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I forgot you must have ART enabled. But welcome to the club. I still feel that CROMI-X is smoother so there is still some work to be done to get this up to standards ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Formatting takes anywhere up to 2 hours under the new TWRP so yours has turned of in the middle of that. :eek: Really you should keep it plugged in for these types of things but I suppose it is too late to tell you that now.

Have you tried flashing TWRP again from the bootloader menu with fastboot?

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

You boot with the card in or out ;) Note if you are on ROM2SD and you take the card out your system will crash :) So power off first when going that way.

I also have multi-boot on the TF700 to test as well - that will allow us to boot multiple roms off the card and internal :)

How to bind "back" to right click please? Tried system/usr/keylayout but I cannot find the mouse. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I feel like I'm back a year and a half ago with from. However this is a lot different.

Thumbs up to all those involved. Your out the gate with a better rom than the one we have been struggling with. At a bare minimum its as good as the last cromi and my personal experience tells me its a lot better.

I just posted on cromi x that tablet should be a lot better than it was., well sbdags has done it. Smooth and quick. Better quadrant scores on basic options, but thats a small part. When i first checked infinity against my note 10.1 2014, it was several seconds behind anything i did on the note. That difference is down to maybe a sec or so or even the same as note. Yea sbdags.

i ran side by side on about 10 different programs and the "new" infinity is so much better than it was. Thunbs up to all.

On infinity and tapatalk thumbs keyboard woukd slow down at time. Keypreas delays. No sighn of that today.

Way to go team.

I've been up all night.

Found my first app that does not work with ART enabled: Ceton My Media Center. That's a painful one for me as I use it frequently to schedule tv recordings on the go. Fortunately I have it on my phone as well, so we'll see if they ever update.

ART

http://www.androidruntime.com/list

hmm looks like Titanium Backup donˋt support ART :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I too have had to do this with my dock. I've learned to make sure the outer edges of the heels of my palms rest firmly on the dock, and keep from moving my hands around, to overcome the invasive touchpad, rather than turning it off. That way my hands are less stressed than keeping them fully elevated off the dock, and I can type much much faster.

No, it is not bad programming. This ROM is being ported over to our devices - ASUS has not released a working KK build for our devices, and so there is no native support for the dock in the first place. It's hard to call it bad programming when 1) this is a Beta ROM, and 2) your device is not an officially support device for the ROM that it is based upon.

ninja'd. I was going to say the exact same thing. If it was not for that customizability, I'd have been screaming for the ASUS JB 4.1 interface lol...

You are not kidding - I've never had me tab feeling this good, snappy, zippy, smooth, call it what you like.

But I still have a ton of apps I need to reinstall to make the final determination. It's one thing to get great benchmarks with Performance mode enabled and maybe 5 apps installed. But how will it perform with my everyday use of the thing?

One thing I can already say, though, is that it will perform better in every day use than it ever has in the past, and for that, I am truly thankful that [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] networked and got the brainstorm to make this ROM go from an idea to reality.

I thought Kindle was going to give me issues. After installing it, I went ot my Recent Apps and one touch swiped them all away. Kindle was in the list. I then tried to start Kindle to start reading and it FCd three times, back to back. Got scared, until I realized that it was probably still trying to close when I was trying to open it again.

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] - should we (users) create a separate thread specifically for non-ART compliant apps?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
That list clearly shows that 6.1.4.1 and PRO versions are working. And working for me, as well.

Tit-F*ck, however, is not (it's an app name from that list, I swear) :p

I decided to try ART. yes it was blistering fast. After it i rebooted i did not have Play store. I dont remember if it were installed before or not. Gapps which was installed with rom erred out. I went back to dalvik and ended up downloading gapps from cm for kk . Finally got gapps running. I thought maybe ART did it , but see no mention in thread. Any thoughts?

That list also lists your My Media Center (it did not include Ceton, so I only saw it after I searched for 'Media'.
