Installing DATA2SD for first time with May 1st release

Hi,

Currently running previous release (Apr 03) from internal memory, I attempted to install data2sd and f2fs yesterday evening with no success, was hanging at CROMBI-KK boot animation.

I had created a fat32 and f2fs partition with gparted and loaded twrp_f2fs recovery. I tried various combination of unmounting /data partition (so recovery would see /data partition on microsd) and formatting in recovery but nothing worked. I always selected the ROM with data2sd and f2fs support.

So I reverted to going back to an internal installation although now with f2fs on the /data partition on internal.

I then came across this howto (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962507) for data2sd saying I need to use mount-data2sd.zip before attempting to flash the ROM to mount the partitions correctly in recovery.

I was going to try this evening but then I saw the new CROMBI-KK version released which says "- Kernel installer algorithm cleaned up to allow rom2sd, data2sd anf f2fs selection management "

So can I try to setup tablet for data2sd and f2fs using the new ROM installer without having to use mount-data2sd.zip?

A few basic step by step instructions would be useful, its not very clear if you are just trying to do data2sd (as opposed to rom2sd).

I have TF700t with dock, 32GB

Greetings

I installed crombi-kk with _that f2fs internal via the aroma installer and got the dreaded encryption unsuccessful. Happened on both the 0403 and 0427 builds. Flashing _thatv9 cm11 f2fs found in the f2fs thread afterwards got the tablet to successfully boot. Wondering if it was something I did wrong or is aroma not installing the correct kernel.

using twrp f2fs

internal formatted to f2fs

running _thatv9 f2fs internal with journaling on fsync off zipalign and both gpu options on

Much Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] bongmasta:
wooow, impressive fast new version!

installed cromi-kk to internal and rom2sd and i do now have the _that-kernel from 30.march, is that ok? :)

Hi

Is it necessary to full wipe while coming from 3.04 KK version ?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapiora:
I have update the ROM with dalvik wipe but after the install I get error message: android.process.acore has stopped. Any sugestions?

What I did was ti install the ROM with the lj50036 kernel instead of _that's, and I have removed Google Experience Launcher and have replaced it with Nova.

I must say that with the Nova launcher and lj50036 kernel I don't have battery drain issue. I think the drainage was beacause of the Google Experience Launcher.

Thank you all for your hard work, saving our beloved tablet!!!

f2fs ??

A noob question: what f2fs is for and what is the benefit and danger using it?

Thanks

Peter
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It is a new file system introduced by google.. It has a faster write speed comparing with ext4. It is still an experimental and not widely used by other manufacturers yet so you may have issue with it..:) I am using it for a while without any problem so far....:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Peter234:
Thanks!

Question: When updating KK what kind of wipe is recommended?

Peter
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Backup everything including your personal stuff. Format your data partition and install kk, good luck.. It is the method that I used....

If you are updating kk version, dirty flash should be fine..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
So far I run into the same type of problem as you with F2FS.

I had to use _thatv9 cm11 f2fs after getting encryption unsuccessful. i did also the same for data2SD but before I flashed Rom2SD1 .

I tried to do it with with Rom2sd F2fs so far no luck but maybe because of a bug in gparted .

So now I got KK is on internal and external data2sd both F2FS both using ART
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
Is anyone else having the problem that I am with the newest update. If you open up the tablet with it docked it will power on like normal, but if you close the tablet it doesnt turn off and just stays on. Then the keyboard being so close to the screen it starts to randomly push buttons and open apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Same thing happened with me. After flashing _thatv9 cm11 f2fs the tablet booted fine. You may be right about the aroma not installing the correct kernel. But this ROM build is truly a good one. :)

I haven't been able to get cromi-x to run rom2sd on external with Crombi-KK f2fs on internal yet, all minor glitches. I am impressed with how fast this is all coming together! [emoji51]
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK maybe I messed up the f2fs stuff. Let me have a look later when I get in from work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
Well anyway 8714 quadrant just on the internal no SD pretty awesome thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK I found the issue with data2sd :) It affects f2fs or ext4 so I'll redo the rom tonight and reupload.

It doesn't affect internal installations or rom2sd :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I have the ROM installed internal f2fs, but I can't get rom2sd to work using cromi-x with f2fs or ext4 partitions on the external drive.

You must still be using ART runtime instead of Dalvik.

Dock not reading sdcard on boot

First, I want to mention how thankful I am to have the CROMBI-KK rom on my tablet... I was about ready to scrap my tf700 because of the laggy operating system it came with. I hope someone can answer a quick question I have... I have been on the update released at the beginning of April and every time my tablet has booted up, the system reads the sd card inserted into the dock by saying "preparing sd card" in the upper left hand corner. However, just yesterday, I booted up the tablet and it would not read the sd card on the dock... it would eventually do it if I removed the card and reinserted it or remove the tablet from the dock and place it back on. Did I accidentally do something to prevent the tablet from reading the dock sd card on boot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for correcting me and it was my bad....:o I know it from Samsung but for some reason, I wrote google. Maybe, I think that google and Samsung is the same company, hahaha...:p I will read twice before posting next time...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I am seeing the staying-on issue but have not had random button hits that I can tell. If I turn the screen off before closing, it appears to stay off. This is new with this latest build for me (installed on internal SD, using _that's kernel).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapiora:
Can anyone, please suggest an application that can control the processor performance and to be simple to use?
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
Yes, sorry for the confusion. I just mean if you close the tablet while it is on it stays on. Then when I opened it back up i found apps opened that I never opened before i closed the tablet. So all that if from the dock being so close/ touching the screen so it is registering it as a touch. I am on _that's kernel also, but on ROM2SD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
It's not recognizing that the tablet/dock is closed - if you close it and toggle the power switch lightly (as when turning the display on and off) you can see that the display is toggling on and off even with the tablet/dock closed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:

[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
Google buying Samsung. See 6 posts above yours ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
Yea, So the question is what changed from the last build to the newest build that is causing it to not recognize that it is docked and closed but can recognize when it is opened.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tonyh51:
I also have the same issue with the tablet not Turing off and its not charging the tablet as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
Not turning off

Same here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheArtfulPenguin:
Can also confirm that the tablet stays on when docked and closed.

Plus I am at 76 percent and the tablet is docked and not charging from the keyboard.

Other than that the ROM seems very good. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
76% is too high to charge I thought. Charging only starts below 70%. There will always be problems with the dock as cm11 doesn't natively support it. If you want full dock support you will have to restrict yourself to asus based roms like CROMi-X ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
When can we get an updated version for the f2fs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can't - I haven't released it yet. I have one issue to solve with data2sd that I hope I will crack tonight. Basically it bootloops. Grrr... So as soon as I get my fix for that done I will release it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
Looking good. I have noticed that I need to always refresh the keyboard patch to get the Asus soft keyboard. Are you not including this in the ROM as standard?

Quadrant/Antutu results are slightly down on the latest but it feels quicker to use. I will try ART again to test if it profile well..

Thanks again!

F2FS

Is the F2FS system making a noticeable difference for users? The risk of no file system integrity check and recovery seems a bit daunting for a small bump in performance, unless something else is going on that makes that a relative non-issue. I suppose a constant backup of game data could mitigate this somewhat. But currently, I will go for days or weeks without running a TiBu, and I don't generally feel at risk. With a no-recovery option on F2FS, seems risky.

Are there plans to have the installer provide a whole F2FS process, or will we need to manage these partitions separately from the install?

Also, Crombi team, just another thanks for this awesome ROM.

---

Edit, This looks really interesting : just saw this "Kernel installer algorithm cleaned up to allow rom2sd, data2sd anf f2fs selection management"

So... Do we still need to use Linux to format the SD card as F2FS prior to the installation? Or... Could I somehow make a TiBu, do an F2FS install with wipe which will format the storage for me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Nevermind, rebooted and it mounted. Too bad it is so laggy, I don't use Chrome on my desktop anymore. It makes syncing bookmarks a pain...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Good to know about the cm11 keyboard dock support – might want to flag this in the CROMBi-kk developer section so users are aware of it. I have been bit by the display staying on when closed issue a couple of times without knowing what was going on. And the power button can easily get bumped on in my backpack so now that I am aware of the issue I will always power the docked tablet off when carrying it in there so I won’t inadvertently turn the display on.

Issue with Czech language

Nice build but the issue with the czech language (when the tablet is docked) persists.

Dirty install over the previous release using TWRP 2.7.0.0, no tweaks, DPI 240, res 1920x1080, kernel thatv9.

After selecting Czech language and the tablet is docked the process systemUI is crashing repeatedly.

After undocking everything seems be good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes there is no fix for Czech language yet - it seems to be missing translations in CM11.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I am testing a file that will format to f2fs - currently you still need to use linux or a special twrp but it may be that we can also do it via another means as well. I think whichever we'll still have to use a twrp that recognises f2fs for mounting reasons.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mkula:
Could I help with it? Maybe I should contact CM11 team, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
When you say static Busybox, I suppose that means that I am warned not to run my Busybox updater app anymore, eh? :p

Sounds like a plan. Since you have a new build coming out soon, I'll hold off on upgrading, since I can then put some time in to moving stuff around so that I can try a Data2SD + F2FS install this time around.

If you need help testing or anything, let me know - I'll make a full backup of my tablet now as it is and will be flashing cleanly, so I can test just about anything right now.

Yeah, since it is a CM11 issue, that would be the place to go.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Recent TWRP (2.7) should be able to detect f2fs already, so if you run it on a kernel that supports it, it should work. Try 2.6.3-that3 or repack the official 2.7 with my kernel.

Yes please go ahead. :)

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

Hmmm. In Praetorian's thread he had us download a F2FS-specific TWRP, and I beleive it was 2.7.0.0 - was that special version just a modified version that allowed TWRP itself to format the /data partition to F2FS as opposed to having to do it outside of the device?

If so, then what you're saying is that TWRP 2.7.x can recognize F2FS if it is pref-ormatted to F2FS but any format instructins used in TWRP 2.7.x will revert to ext4 for /Data, correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Well I figured out why I get crappy battery life lately... with the lid closed, every app on my home screen starts up at some point. I figured that out because I rebooted, shut the screen off and closed the lid. About an hour later I was sitting here and Youtube started up next to me and started playing a video... I checked the recent apps and I think it was every one from the homescreen. ;)

Maybe keyboard manager would help? I have no idea what it does. I never installed it on CROMi or CROMBi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Odd behaviour can you get a logcat of the screen being closed and then some random apps starting please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
I'll reboot again and let a logcat run from just before I turn off the screen. I'll let it sit for an hour again... Should I use just the normal brief "adb shell" or "adb shell logcat -v long" ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I prefer long but either will do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Todays release will not boot up for me using f2fs internal install, it hangs at the end of pre int screen. I forgot to grab a logcat before I returned to the 5-01-4014 rom. Does it even show a logcat at that stage before the boot animation?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK that is a bit more useful information. No logcat won't run at that point. I think I know what the issue is. [Edit I just checked the script and actually I don't know what it is]

In the preinit debug lines do you see errorno 13 in there?

My understanding of capacitive touch screens which the tf700 has, nothing on the keyboard is going to activate anything on the screen when the screen is closed against it. The screen should only detect the touch of your finger tips, nothing plastic from the keyboard. Now resistive touch is a different story.

where did my status bar go?

it's auto-hiding so a swipe down is needed to see what's up (notifications, time, signal, etc.).

i have Expanded Desktop disabled. i thought i might have set something in Gravity Box in a drunken stupor so uninstalled Xposed.

didn't help. still auto-hiding.

is this now a default "feature" or did I set some setting that I can't find right now. i have CM 11 on two other devices that don't have this behavior.

Must be something with the way you are formatting f2fs on your card? Others have it working. Which partitions are you formatting to f2fs and how?

We are closed I applied the patch just reinsert the card and it booted on internal I had just to reinstall rom2sd but now I'm stuck again at encryption on the external, without the SD the the internal is working, so it is one or the other, without patch external only with patch internal only.

Hi! Thanks for this awesome rom! I really love it. Had some Problems with flashing this but now I got it up and running.

I have just 2 questions for you. I couldn't get the rom running with the 2 other kernels - I am now using hundsbuah

can I change the kernel with an app? should I?

Yes the patch will have overwritten your rom2sd setup so you can't have both currently. When you flash rom2sd it expects the internal to be ext4 ;) SO now I have to accomodate another scenario, both internal and external as f2fs..... Hmmm confusing.....

How do I do that in a menu system ...... I wish I could auto detect them at install......

I'll figure something out.

Hi sbdags,

Been lurking in the tf700 cromi-forums for months and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your efforts!

Small question:

Will these patches be in the new release? And when is it planned? I'm about to switch to crombi-kk, but I'm waiting for the right moment to switch to a relatively stable release.

Thanks again,
