Most likely it is in the stock framework as they are quite different. It maybe how CM implement the dock sdcard differently to the tablet one due to the dock not always being present. I'll see if there is anything obvious in the kernel ramdisk as well but I wouldn't hold out too much hope of it getting fixed as stock asus 4.4.2 on the TF701 has troubles keeping the dock sdcard mounted as well.

It is rated at 48MB/s transfer speed max, so I think it will be OK.

Is the above (f2fs and data2sd) the general thinking at this point? Is there concerns around rom2sd? I'm not looking to dual boot or anything, just maximize performance. I also want to expand /data as I seem to be hitting the current limitation pretty often.

I know it's been covered like a billion times, so let me know if there is a thread I can reference. In general, I will:

- format the SD card per the OP

- do a factory reset/data wipe in TWRP

- install the ROM using the data2sd and f2fs options

- restore apps via TiBu

Any other new pitfalls I should be aware of? Is it true I need to drop back to the 2.6.3 TWRP? I'm on 2.7.1.1.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Maru-san:
I had a look at the CM11 kernel sources for the TF700 (I guess that is what is being used with _that's kernel). Apparently there is a sysfs attribute ec_wakeup for the doc and also an ioctl for it which sets that the doc is not going to sleep when in standby. I tried testing that but an

echo 1 > ec_wakeup

never returns. The dmesg then also gets spammed with information that powerdown on standby is disabled and the only way to get the tablet running again is a hard-reset. Is _that's kernel really using the vanilla source since a

cat ec_wakeup

also results in an I/O error which according to the CM11 source should return the current value. I am only asking since there might be other differences in the code which result in the hang. I am pretty sure it is only a small change to make this work.

Ok, I found the source there are changes that explain the I/O error on cat but not so much the hang when trying to set it.

re

hi

I already install this rom. and then install asus apps. but now when I push settings on tablet nothing happened.

I want to flash it again and to clean the tablet first.

what are the steps?

1. to do wipe and format system data? than davlik?

than install?

thanks!!

That's the same card I am using. Anectdotally, data2sd gave me better performance than rom2sd. Maybe try that and take a look at zombi which is providing me another level of speed. I have basically no lag now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
OK, great.

I'm sticking with kk for now simply for the dock/ethernet support, but I'm watching the zombi thread closely. I'll be on data2sd this weekend!

Assumung you're using F2FS as well?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmgnet:
Correct. And yeah, I'm not using my dock. Haven't tried, but it was solid on kk.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I've got some free time so thought I'd finally give F2FS a go with this ROM. I'm just going to continue with a ROM install on the internal SD and planned to apply F2FS to the internal store. Is the path to do this to use twrp_f2fs as laid out in this thread --

I thought I did, but sill wonder if I have a KK Rom2SD backup on internal, how does it know to restore to the ExternalSD?

Sorry to be so dense.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Questions are good. I just can't understand yours :D

Where and what is your definition of external sd? we have 3 places it can backup to and 2 places it can restore to.

1. Internal back up is to mmcblk0p8 /data

2. Internal restore is to mmcblk0p8 /data

3. External backup (1) is to mmcblk1p1 (your first partition on external micro sd)

4. External backup (2) is to mmcblk1p2 /data (your second partition on external micro sd which is internal backup but using rom2sd1.zip)

5. External restore is via rom2sd1.zip and to mmcblk1p2 /data

My first entry here -- and first entry after buying a used TF700t for a bit over 200 bucks on ebay. Some background...

I owned a TF101 (now my wife owns it!) and learned all about custom roms via good ol' Timduru's KatKiss rom. A great rom... but I digress.

Noticed upon turning on my new (used) TF700 that it was unlocked. Oh, isn't that too bad. Hehehe... Looked around for a good rom. You guys (and gals)! What the heck? Crombi - X Crombi - KK Zombi... reading through all this data and all I wanna do is pick one. So... being a crazy person but only moderately so, I opted for Crombi-KK. After blowing it up by doing some stuff so stupid it trashed the /data directory (that was a major setback!), I finally got TWRP 2.8.0.1 installed and the Sept. 6 version of KK. On with a few Asus apps. And this baby is not lagging...

Oh, no external card for memory by the way. Just the internal system. But it sure seems sweet.

Thank you very much to all who wrote this (I'll hunt down your names and click a proper thanks later). Lovin' my TF700t, which to me for 230 bucks, with keyboard dock included, seems a steal.

Keep Getting Error Message

Hello,

I'm fairly new to flashing custom roms. I unlocked my TF700t and rooted it. That worked fine. It's the next step that keeps failing.

I put the Chrombi-KK and ASUS App files on the internal sd, and was using TWRP to try to load the Chrombi-KK and ASUS Apps files to bootload the files.

I keep getting error message with the Android symbol looking like a broken R2-D2

I also tried just going to Recovery mode using

Then it just goes back to loading the regular JB 4.2
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Which version of TWRP are you using? If you are seeing an android it sounds like you used CWM? Or maybe you are on the stock recovery?...
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Since I just did this, not that I'm an expert....

You brought up the machine and went to TWRP...

Then what did you do? Did you start by doing the default wipe? Were there error messages or did it succeed?

Next, did you touch the install button and then select the proper directory where you stored the crombi-kk files?

Next, did you select the crombi-kk file and go through the install process? Did the crombi-kk symbol pop up and take you through the installation? Did you select anything other than what the defaults were? (Maybe try it without doing anything different than the defaults?)...

Next, did you reboot the tablet AFTER that process had completed....

AND did you wait and wait... because you will wait and wait the first time it boots. Ten min or more sometimes...

I wouldn't install the asus-apps first time out. Wait until you install the system crombi-kk, let it all settle down once it (finally) boots up.

Again, not an expert here. But I did just do this. ;)

Rom2SD not booting

I hope this is the relevant logcat to diagnose the problem with Crombi-kk not booting from when external microSD is in the tablet?

(Cromi-X is working fine on internal)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not really - it's only a partial log - have you go the full one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Luthiensdad:
I'm not sure. This latest one went through 2 boot animation/restarts so I don't know what else to include or what else I should be doing to get the full one.

[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I think I got everything working properly using the new Samsung 64GB card and Data2SD on f2fs. I confirmed it's configured correctly with the command:

I have a few questions/comments, now that it's running...

I see the device still thinks of /data as 'SDCARD' despite being on the external micosd, specifically:

'sdcard0' = /data (now on microsd, via data2sd)

'sdcard1' = second storage partition on microsd -- This is the 16GB partition from the instructions, though I'm not actually sure what this is used for.

'sdcardi' = this was a bit of a surprise, as I did not know to look for it, initially, but is the on-board storage

So....

Why is the sdcardi drive only showing as 27.1GB vs 32GB? Is that because /system is on it?

Is there advantages/disadvantages to each storage share? Where should I be putting my files, backups, etc. For example, I previously had my download, TWRP and TiBu directories on the microsd so if I ever did a factory reset or wipe, I could easily re-install/restore, even on the go.

Most importantly, I did a TWRP backup and the /data partition was only 25k, so clearly wrong, given previous backups were 1.3GB. I'm on TWRP 2.7.1.1. I assume it's not aware of the f2fs share? How do I get that properly backed up?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Sdcardi is 27gb not 32 because it is the data partition on your tablet. When you don't run data2sd sdcardi is the partition that shows up as sdcard in file managers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I updated to TWRP 2.8.0.1. and it still does not see the f2fs partition in recovery -- actually lists /data as 0 bytes.

Do I need to run data2sd to make the appear properly. I was under the impression that DATA2SD1 was only needed if you were switching from external to internal. In re-reading this (for the umpteenth time), I think I see now that I need to flash this to perform a proper backup... is that the case?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Keep forgetting you rich guys have keyboards. (:> I don't, so I only think of my ExtSD as the ONLY one.!!! My bad.

My question is/was: Does twrp know (from something in the backup) that the restore goes to internal or external? Like if I copy a backup from somewhere into Twrp? Or do I have to run Rom2SD1.Zip to restore to my ExternalSD. Make sense?

Hope all is going well with you and yours,

lmm
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The above does not include the keyboard :D

TWRP only knows if you tell it where to put it.... By default you have 2 choices - internal storage (i.e., /data/media/0/TWRP) or external storage (/sdcard/TWRP)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I'm getting very confused... not sure why I'm having so much trouble wrapping my head around this, especially since I only have more place to look. :(

Based on the above I only seem to have TWRP folder/backups on /data/media/. Note not '0'. Oddly I did 2 backups, but only one is showing up. I'm going to kill all TWRP folders and try again. Maybe I just need a nap.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
Don't know when this appeared, but when using a modified connectbot (for the dock keyboard), shift and the number keys either do nothing or produce tildes...

As mentioned here: https://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=459

Tried a bunch of different builds and no luck...This may not be a crombi build problem, but I know it used to work...

Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Confirmed... /data/media/TWRP

So since I selected internal, is this the microsd due to data2sd? Or truly internal storage?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
sorry I mean /data/media/TWRP

if you flashed data2sd1.zip first then it will be on /data/media/TWRP but on your card....

[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
First of all, let me get this out of the way. I'm an idiot. I had stayed on the tried and true cromi-x 5.4 until just a few days ago. I'm now kicking myself in the ass for not switching to kk sooner. The increase in performance is utterly astounding. I've noticed more of a performance boost switching to this then I did even going from stock to clean rom in the first place. Hats off to sdbags, _that and everyone else involved.

The one thing I'm finding hard to get by without however is having the navigation buttons in the center instead of the left where my hand holds the TABLET (hey google, some of us use tablets, not just phones or phablets). When holding the tablet it is very annoying to have to strech to the center to access the buttons. I've searced but cannot find an answer. Can we move the navigation buttons back to the left? If so, how. Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Now that I've been running Crombi-KK RC3 for a few days, I hope a few of the wise folks here can help me understand a few things.

Prelude to these questions: I have a TF101 that runs KatKiss (Timduru's most excellent rom that makes that old tablet fly). His rom allows not only the micro-sd to be used for /data, but also the dock's sd-card (if of course there's one in the slot).

I note that TWRP also cannot (to my knowledge) read the dock's SD card, again necessitating a micro-SD. So maybe all this is hardware-related...

He also has multi-windows enabled, and when I depress the power button I have the option to boot to recovery along with the usual options (shut down, reboot, and so on).

I completely get it that a TF700t is not a TF101 -- many differences in hardware. But I sure would like to use my 64g SD-card instead of having to get a micro-SD card...

Thanks... no, I mean THANKS. This is a great rom.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Enable the advanced power menu from the developer settings for starters ;)

As you said recovery can't see the dock sd card on this device so nothing I can do about using it - although I am sure it could be made to work if you rebuild twrp with the correct fstab. I don't want to support that method though as it could be catastrophic if the tab is removed from the dock whilst using it. Fast 64GB cards are cheap ;) Lookup a sandisk uhs-1 class 10 card.

Multii windows is enabled on zombi-x not crombi-kk. The cm11 base does not support multi windows and we are not all Gods like Timduru ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I had that reaction when I switched (both reactions, actually ;)), but in the end, I simply just got used to it. If you go to settings > device > Buttons, you can move 2 of the middle buttons to the corners. It might be easier to find an app to do this. Xposed or possibly PIE may get you closer as well.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Ok, great. I was getting worried that I did something wrong.

Performance is great with data2rom (as promised). Really glad I made the jump. Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
As said you can move 2 buttons but there are no fixes for the centre buttons right now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Gravity Box has a great pie implementation. It's not PA, but it works. There is also an xposed module called tabletkat that restores tablet ui on KitKat.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Luthiensdad:
is this it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
"Enable the power menu [...]" Hehehe.... thank you for helping the clueless. ;) Yes, indeed, that did it.

If TWRP could mount / read the bottom SD card, it would at least mean I could have one more place to hide crombi-KK install files to use during recovery and so on. Even if it is too dicey to use for /data and so forth when the rom's up and running. But will have to look into a micro-sd. I see Amazon has that Sandisk version for around 35 bucks.

Re not being a god like Timduru... reminds me of an old song about an Irish hero, "Two Shalelugh O'Sullivan." The line I am reminded of re Timduru... the singer sez "Why, he was so strong he could hold himself up with his own right hand!" A second voice says, "Why no one could do that." To which the singer responds," It''s *O'Sullivan* I'm talkin' about!" Pause... the other voice, "Oh! Well, HE could."

Ok, today I will try the RC3, flashing it after a full wipe... the dirty flash resuted in a not so stable device (randomly it reboots by itself :( ).

What USB Mass Storage notification issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
So several others have offered suggestions. Getting used to the soft buttons being in the center is just like other new things we try for the first time, coffee, beer, broccoli(yuck), it takes a little time to get used to them. I had the same reaction with the first Rom I installed that had the buttons centered. But I stuck with it and now when I use a device that has them on the side, it feels odds. If Google thought it was that big of an issue, they would have offered a setting to position them. Strap your seat belt on(how much getting used to did that take?) and take it for a drive. Before you know it, you won't even notice it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
I'm not sure if you are using your tablet with the keyboard or not. 99% of my use is with the keyboard attached. When I hold the tablet from it's sides, the keyboard physically prevents my fingers from reaching the center buttons. It is not a matter of getting used to something. I preffered the notification bar on the bottom where I hold the tablet but I AM "getting used to" it being on top. No big deal. In the case of the navigation buttons, it is an incovenience that I am trying to find a work around for since I can't grow my fingers out, or become more flexible or double jointed:p. That is the beauty of XDA in my opinion and why we all come here; to make our devices run not as intended, but how we want them to run.

The xposed module Tabletkat was not compatible for me. I will keep searching for a solution. For now, I have moved the back button to the left since I find that is the most used button that is allowed to be moved.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
There is no known solution at the moment - other wise I would have included it ;) If you do find one - let me know please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Why is it not compatible. You have to enable experimental modules in the xposed installer settings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That is a very short logcat - I would expect to see 300 - 500KB for a boot sequence.

There is nothing really to see other than you are using xposed. So do a clean install without it as it does give some warnings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] iadegesso:
I use the default ASUS kernel (if I correctly remember it is "_that ASUS something")... but I switched back to the RC2 because the RC3 was too laggy and unstable for me...

You load TWRP 2.7.1.1 or 2.8.0.1

Goto the wipe menu and advanced and choose convert /data to f2fs. It will take about 3 mins and will completely wipe the internal card.

Then load the rom as normal and when prompted say you are an f2fs user.
