Wow! I must say I never thought the TF700T could get better than it was. But after changing to F2FS there was a remarkable change to the better when it comes to responseivity. Dont know if thats an actual word. But you get the idea.

Will the Tf700 be even faster if I switch to ART on the F2FS filesystem?

Restore f2fs backup to ext4 data?

Can I restore a nandroid backup that was made with my internal data formatted to f2fs to my internal data that is now formatted ext4?

I know the question WHY is it formatted ext4 - had problems and had to manually re-format my data partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
You can if you're on TWRP 2.8 it maintains the partition file system when restoring. You can also reformat to f2fs if you wanted. Just back up what you have first as you lose all data including data\media. Then restore to it as f2fs in twrp.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
Hello and goog morning.

OK I hope my old english is good enaugh to tell you what I will ask for...

Wich SD Card speed is minimum necessary to speed up my tf700t by using rom2sd and other speed up "things" with these rom here?

In a shop I can get the follow: Samsung EVO microSDXC 64GB (Samsung EVO MB-MP64D) Write Speed listed as 48 mb/s. Read speed is listed as Class 10.

Or this one: SAMSUNG 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 MB-MG64D write speed here is 80 mb/s and read speed 90 mb/s.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The second one won't work.

Stick with the cards that offer 30MB/s to 50MB/s - if they are too fast something breaks with data2sd/rom2sd....
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
The fastest answer ever.

Am I so wrong by thinking; - faster is faster? And - The slowest speed limit the fastest speed?

You mean, by using Data2SD / Rom2SD with a verry fast card the card overtakes the internal ram?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
They fastest up to a point but then the sd controller or something can't cope with the really fast cards - something breaks and you'll end up not being able to boot....

[Asus Transformer TF700] leshan:
Like the brightness Value in CROMi-X 5.4 ROM can only go as low as 10 if we adjust the brightness bar manually.

[Asus Transformer TF700] TrofeoSC:
Get the TWRP Manager in the Play Store, works great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Head for the CROMi-X thread and scroll down in the OP until you find the flashable 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader/TWRP package.

You can flash that package in your current recovery, then reboot the tablet (do not skip this tep!)

Boot into recovery with Power and Vo;ume Down and check the version number. I forgot which TWRP version sbdags included in that package. If it is older than 2.8.0.1 download that version from the Teamwin website and flash it in fastboot.

Reboot and you're good to go and flash this rom (after a full wipe naturally).
[Asus Transformer TF700] David522d:
So wait this flashes a new boot loader and the newest recovery all in one?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I was just comparing this.. running data2sd scores were in that 6k range on dalvik, 81xx on ART... but... ART on the regular rom was too choppy to play any fast paced games. ART on data2sd is much smoother. I'm not sure it's as smooth as dalvik on non-data2sd - but it benches better, and haven't seen a 'smoothness' bench in quadrant. :p

[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Wow. First time back in a while and come to see this.

Really incredible work, breathing even more life into my TF700.

I've got one small issue though, regarding the dock keyboard. Keyboard functions such as the @ key dont work due to the fact it's not running the asus keyboard software. Keyboard manager doesn't help in this regard I don't think. Any solutions?

EDIT:

Searched thread and found solution
[Asus Transformer TF700] petervan25:
First of all, you guys are awesome. This Tablet has never worked so well. Amazing work.

I'm running the rom2sd setup, and tried this with the correct order. New kernel took fine and shows up correctly in settings. However, I still don't have trackpad diable, settings, or the lock button working. I really only care about the trackpad button. If it's too much trouble that's no problem, this rom is still is an amazing achievement, but I thought you guys should know.

I'd be happy to send you logs if that'd help (though I don't know much about how to make them). Thanks again!

EDIT: I am also having strange behavior with the power button: after using the volume keys (but not mute key) the power button does nothing, BUT if I then use the volume buttons on the tablet the power button starts working again. Funky.
[Asus Transformer TF700] t3ej4y:
Okay I've just done formatted my internal and external sd to f2fs, and installed rom2sd, but now I can't copy anything to my internal drive, which is a pity because I've got 56gigs just sitting there. I've done a search of the thread and it seems like it was pointed out before that sdcardi cannot be written to if both internal and external are f2fs? Is there a way to fix it or could I reformat my internal memory back to ext4 to be able to write to it again? Appreciate all the help I can get!

No :o It flashes the latest bootloader and an older recovery. You then have to update the recovery using the normal method.

If only the guy who put them together would get his lazy ass into gear and put together the latest recovery as well wouldn't that be great! Lazy bastard! :o:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

[Asus Transformer TF700] David522d:
Can someone do it for my lazy ass :p

Little confused here. So I can flash this "package *need link* =p" thru my old version of TWRP and it will update both my bootloader and recovery? I'm coming from Liquid 4.1. Its been awhile. This rom looks great and speedy.

Thanks in advanced.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yes it will. But it will only update your recovery to TWRP 2.6.0.1 which is too old for CROMBi-KK. So after you flashed that package you will have to flash TWRP 2.8.0.1 in fastboot (or use TWRP Manager or Flashify to do it - why do I always cringe when I read people using these apps to flash a recovery??).

Just because I feel supportive of lazy bastards today, here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

[Asus Transformer TF700] tijsva:
Gents,

After using the TF700 since its release, the custom roms from XDA made the tablet much more fun to work with (lets be honest, out of the box its a slow piece of crap with a nice screen).

After trying various rom versions, different filesystems: EXT4/F2FS/Data2SD with EXT4/Data2SD with F2FS, one thing remains the same for me EVERY single time. I flash a custom rom (like the latest Crombi-kk), most of the time I do a complete format DATA in combination with full wipe just to make sure I have the best possibility of having a clean install, first hours of use the rom is nice and smooth, no hickups-lag whatsoever.

Just after using the tablet for a couple of days the first small lag spikes kick in, it starts small, but after a couple of weeks the tablet sometimes can hang for 1 minute, lag enormously and become unresponsive on the powerbutton. (also the tabletscreen will turn black, and just after a couple of seconds the shutter sound plays) Restarting fixes it again. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? After flashing a new rom version its always fingers crossed hoping this time it will actually stay working properly. I really want to believe this tablet can function properly, but most of the time I end up just wanting to throw it in the wastebin. :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmmm - it should be better than it used to be but yes inherently if you use the tablet a lot it will slow down over time. The only fix I know is back up a nandroid, format /data and then restore nandroid (bear in mind you will lose the whole sdcard data). Or try running lagfix with a reboot after 20 mins.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Maybe you guys are all tweaking too much. ;) My TF700 has never been formatted or wiped since I own it (just lots of kernel and recently TWRP flashes :)), and it still runs with acceptable performance. Sometimes it hangs for 3 seconds or so, but I've never had to wait much longer until it got responsive again. All that with a de-bloated stock ROM and -that11 kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] t3ej4y:
SOLVED, AND THANKS TO WNERW FOR FINDING THE SOLUTION! I simply used root explorer to change the owner of datai/media to 'media', and give write permission to all, and now I can create folders/write to internal storage again! Phew, 56gigs internal back in business :highfive:

Going back to CROMI-X

Gave the CROMBI a chance, did a full wipe and installed it on my tablet with recommended settings.

Used also the freezing patch, but the tablet is slower and slower and it's a pain in the ass.

Worst buy I ever made and I can't think about all the money I gave to ASUS for this tablet, which promised to be the top one. Meh!

I'm going to make a full wipe once again and go back to CROMI-X.

Thanks anyway for the hard work! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
That helps so much, thx for that great feedback back in the dev section .... :rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] nephtys59:
Please do not get me wrong.

I'm not blaming you developers, I'm blaming ASUS for making a Tablet which was good with Ice Cream Sandwich only.

Since they updated to Jelly Bean, tablet became a real mess and CROMI-X saved it from being launched from the window.

I gave CROMBI a chance because I really understand the efforts behind it and I wanted to give it a try.

I do not think CROMBI is bad, I think the problem IS the tablet and its limitations. That is the only reason why I give up on CROMBI.

I'm really angry at ASUS for making me pay 640 Eur for tablet+keyboard and then abandon it to its destiny after the last really bad firmware updates.

And I don't even use the tablet for 3d gaming or heavy apps, I use it for surfing the web and watching movies or reading ebooks.

But I can't have a tablet which hangs or freezes every 5 minutes. And I repeat, I DO believe it's not ROM's fault. It's the tablet and ASUS stealing my money. :(

[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Before totally giving up (or if you're re-flashing anyway, I would try Zombi-X:

http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/rom-t2857931

Same devs, but a different base (Omni). My experiences with it was the fastest ROM yet, really snappy and stable (note, still a beta). I know what you mean about the lag in KK, but so far I have not seen it in Zombi.

Worth a shot, right?

Is there a Way to mount the external data partition while running on the internal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Which is better for cleaning /data when using TWRP, Factory reset or formating data?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
formatting data will delete /data/media (your user files) while Factory Reset will preserve that directory & files.

usually Factory Reset is fine and is what most call for before a "clean ROM install", but if there's some corruption on the internal SD then a format may be necessary.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, should work like this:

su
mkdir /storage/datax
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /storage/datax

If external /data is f2fs would the last command need to be ?

German Keyboard Layout

Hi,

first of all many thanks for this great ROM. It really makes the TF700 more usable and fun to use compared to the standard ROM.

Currently I have one problem: when I use the keyboard dock I have an English keyboard layout. As my dock has a German keyboard, I would like to change the layout to German. So far I did not find the place where I can change that. Am I just to blind to find it, or does this ROM not support different keyboard layouts for the keyboard dock?

Thanks

Sven
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
What have you tried? Don't quite remember how it is on CROMBi-KK (currently on ZOMBi) but go to

Language & Input > default keyboard (probably Android KB) > Input languages and switch to German.

Does that work?
[Asus Transformer TF700] svenjens:
This is how the layout can be changed for the touch keyboard that is displayed on the screen. When the dock is connected there are additional settings for the physical keyboard. Within these settings there is also on option to select a layout, but all I can select is standard/asusdec, which gives me the English layout. I still cannot find a way to change the layout of the physicl keyboard to German.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
Hello again...

I whant to use data- and rom2sd without data journaling...

So yesterday I have bought a 32GB Sandisk microSDHC UHS I card, readspead is specified with "up to 48 MB/s"

First I have tested with AS SSD Benchmark and HD Tune.

In reality the read-spead is much slower 20-22 MB/s... but this doesnt metter.... (maybe?)

I have created a ext4 2048mb as last partition, after the rest from the 32gb card, formatted fat32. Both partitions are marked as primary...

I have created a TWRP Backup and a Titanium Backup to. (apps und userdetails with only marked white and green Apps....)

After that I tried many times to flash

NEW

and with wiping cache and dalvik these rom.

I have mark all options for that job but its everytime the same when the installscript is start to running.

...running rom2sd

...running data2sd

formatting cache...

after the formatting script has started and the bar below is seeing the finnish button appears. That is 1 seconds later...

I dont believe that formatting cache needs only a second.

If dont press finnish nothing else happens.

Whats going wrong here?

I know, I make any mistakes, but what I make wrong?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you install the rom with data2sd you have to have 2 partitions on your card (as you do) and the install should run fine.

If you install as rom2sd you need three partitions on the card since you run /data and /system (+ the fat32 partition as microSD) off the card.

Read the OP again and either install the rom with data2sd or repartition your card to install as rom2sd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
Hey, thanks a lot, I dont have readed the thing about 3 partitons for using rom2sd and data2sd.

Today the day has gone and so I try out tomorow.

I´ll be back.

Nice Sonday evening to you all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No problem. Just to be clear:

data2sd = 2 partitions on the card

rom2sd = 3 partitions on the card

You can install the rom with data2sd OR rom2sd - not both at the same time...

But rom2sd is basically data2sd + system2sd :silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
Aah, good to know. Rom2SD is maybe not usefull for me?

For that I can the scripts himself and use data2sd and rom2sd I have downloaded too.

Yesterday evening I have tried out and flash first data2sd and after that restore my last backup, both with twrp.

But I´m not shure that now data2sd is in use. I

dont

have a "sdcard

i

" folder.

I have checked the partions with acronis disc director suite and it shows the ext4 part. as not formatted.

Paragon Partitions Manager shows both partitions as not formatted.

Check with minitool part. wizard shows formatted as ext4 and 17% - 361,31 MB used (total 2048 mb)...

I´m not sure for this moment, but I think I have start again and I have to perform a factory reset with twrp?

Maybe its better to ask my questions in the correct thread, but I dont find... Have a link please?

Edit:

Confused...

Even now I have performed a advanced wipe, mark all options and the job was shown as succesfull...

After that I have flash complete new wipe wipe dalvik and cache....

After reboot the tab, all my apps still there. Whats this??? Wipe without wipe?

A moment later I become a message, that I only have 260 MB left... Seems Data2SD is working?

Than I start File Manager HD.

It shows now, device storage: 2 GB, used 1,7 GB.

Data2SD is running?

Now I also have the sdcardi folder, but nothing in it...

Than I have stard androbench.

Micro Benchmark: Target /data (ext4) User Buffer: No.

Seq. Read: 18,56 MB/s bever arround 4 MB/s

Seq. Write: 150,37 MB/s bevor arround 80 MB/s

Random Read: 3,98 MB/s 1020 IOPS (4k) bevor maybe bear the same

Random Write: 209,33 MB/s 53590 IOPS (4k) bevor much slower.

An check with Antutu.

Bevor Points over all 18500. Now 19656.

The Points of storage and database I/O are now 2 times more (right word??)

Bevor Storage I/O arround 500 and now 1016 Points.

Bevor Database I/O arround 250 and now 645 Points.

Super, now I dont can install large apps like Navigon....

Is all normal?

It dont feels faster by using...
