How do determine bootloader version?

I tried twice to install this ROM and got failures (full wipe - data, cache, dalvik). I am on the 5/17 build of kk, so whatever recovery/bootloader version is compatible with that is what I'm on. I know I am on TWRP 2.6.3-that3, but I'm unable to read my bootloader version in the fine print of the bootloader screen. Is there another way to find out what I'm on?

Probably unrelated, but since restoring the backup made prior to these attempts I am getting a few random reboots.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Why can't you read the bootloader version? It's in the top left - it should be 10.6.1.14.x - what is the x?

Try updating to the latest version of TWRP 2.7.1.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:

Confused about DATA2SD partitions?

Using GParted to setup a micro SD for ROM2SD or DATA2SD support

First and foremost - DO NOT USE MINI TOOL!

Formatting a micro sd card for ROM2SD

Note for DATA2SD just do

one partition in stead of 2

then it says

Now you are ready to install ROM2SD. Note if you want to use

DATA2SD then only do 2 partitions 1x FAT32 and 1x larger EXT4

I've used GParted before but would just like to be sure how I am supposed to setup the partitions?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
That means just make one EXT4 partition for DATA2SD .......

The EXT4 still has to be the second partition on the sdcard thus the reason for the FAT32 partition...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] kski:
So just to be 100% sure, I'll just create the FAT32 from 0-20000 and then EXT4 from 20001-64000 give or take?
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
I never tested that far, I will look in to different versions of my frame.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

I tried the my frame from the tf700, and it just crashes, so my frame is what it is. Please remember that these apps are not supposed to work on cyanogen mod, and most are not even from our device. The functionality is what it is, most apps work, some are just not perfect.
[Asus Transformer TF700] :
That should do it mate :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] pipopipz:
For kicks instead of EXT4, I formatted it as F2FS. So both my internal and external are F2FS now. Am using DATA2SD but I can say things were smoother when I used EXT4 for my External.

20140617 Released

Minor version update: This is really to include a thatv10 kernel option for ROM2SD users who are on CROMi-X on internal and have not upgraded to thatv10 yet.

If you have already got the 204140613 version working you don't really need to upgrade to 20140617 although I'm sure some of you will anyway :D

20140617 changes

- Re-fixed writing big files to the sdcard failing

- Added option to install _thatv10 to internal for ROM2SD users

Oh yeah I seem to have travelled one day into the future for this release as well! :rolleyes: :eek: :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Does this mean we can have Cromix on external now?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
Stopped at Formatting System....

Trying to install ver 0617 Install seems to have stopped at "Formatting System....".

I was running ver 0517 Rom2sd with Cromi-X 5.4 on internal with Hunds kernel.

I chose to install Rom2sd and "Yes" to install _thats 10 kernel on internal during this install.

The "Save Logs" and "Next >" is available at the bottom of the screen, usually after Formatting System the apps are installed.

Is this different now? Just don't know if I should be waiting longer of push "Next >"

OK, I did press Next and I booted to my old Cromi-X 5.4 with Hunds kernel still on it.

I moved the Cromi-kk 0617 file to the Micro SD card and tried to flash again and Cromi-KK is booting now.

I guess I shouldn't have been so timid???
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Wouldn't that be reason enough to upgrade?

I am struggling to get flash player to work. I have dolphin option selected on install however it appears that I don't have flash installed. It doesn't appear in any app list. I have all the relevant options selected on dolphin and I have tried to load in their specific flash but I get a "app not installed" error. I have tried cleaning out flash with SD Maid but with no luck. Any ideas anyone?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
I want to take it up a notch and start playing with data2sd and rom2sd. I Have read the countless info on data2sd but just to be sure... Do i have to flash rom2sd or data2sd before flashing cromi or is chosing the option in cromi enough?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
As long as you have formatted the partitions correctly then the rom installer does everything else for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you have your microSD formatted correctly for data2sd or rom2sd, you just have to select the option to install for it in the Aroma installer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It is only available within dolphin. You can't load flash apps but you should be able to use flash on webpages.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Go to the twrp dev thread, teamwin webpage, download 2.7.1.1 and follow the instructions to flash the blob.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The easiest way to update the bootloader would be to flash the BL/TWRP package from the CROMi-X thread OP. But that bootloader is packaged with TWRP 2.6.1, so you would have to update your recovery afterwards.

Flash BL/TWRP package

Reboot

Flash TWRP 2.7.1.1

Reboot

But your .8 bootloader should be fine with any current rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately Dolphin doesn't seem to play them. I just get the "flash player not installed" message. I have jet pack on and flash always on too. I believe it used to work a few revisions back but I don't use it that often so not sure exactly when it stopped. I have reflashed the Rom twice. I will try deleting cache and data for dolphin and hope that works!
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i just tried and Flash is working on my tab w/ Dolphin.

Jet Pack on and Flash Player always on in the Web Content section of settings.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yep just tested flash here and it works fine. Got on the adobe test flash page to confirm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
[MENTION=3205974]Gudders[/MENTION], This may be a stupid question but do you have adobe flash player installed on your tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Since TWRP 2.7.1.x can handle converting all of the partitions to various file systems, I think now might be a good time to play around and see how well this ROM performs with alternate file systems for some of the other partitions that are used on the tablet - I'm thinking that F2FS on all the different partitions (and thus no journaling) might make for a very interesting setup, and might provide a speed boost.

What say you, [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION], [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION]?

[Asus Transformer TF700] lyrelai:
Already installed TWRP 2.7.1.1 a couple of days ago and used it to format data partition to f2fs. It works really well with CROMi-X 5.4 with f-sync off. Haven't tried Crombi-kk with this setup with f2fs yet.

As a side note, I tried to ran /system/bin/sync under terminal console and it does take a bit longer to complete when f-sync is off. So, I decide to roll my own reboot script by chain the /system/bin/sync and /system/bin/reboot together and run them every day 3:00am so that I will have a "fresh" system every morning and I assume sync call will get all the changes cached in the memory pushed to system flash.

2.7.1.1

Hi buddy,

Tried that using Goomanager. It showed installing 2.7.1.1 (with countdown), but no reboot. I went into recovery and it still shows 2.6.3_that3. Any idea what's going on? No keyboard and not an adb fan.

Thanks,

Disregard!

Just didn't wait long enough.

Patience, patience, Grasshopper.

[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
You can also use the terminal command and do it directly from within TWRP....

Well, I'm taking the plunge and making every partition that is out there F2FS and seeing what happens. So far, Dalvik_Cache cannot be changed, but /system and /cache can. I might have found a bug, though, b/c I changed /system to F2fs, and then changed /cache/ then went back to verify that /system was f2fs - it shows as ext4 - so I tried to repair it but e2fsck failed, so I think it actually was f2fs and was being misreported. So, I formatted it back to ext4, then repaired and it worked, so then I went back and changed it to f2fs again, and it still shows as ext4 even though TWRP has successfully formatted it to f2fs.

My /data is already f2fs, so here goes another run at installing the latest cROMBi-kk :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If I remember correctly, Aroma formats /system before each rom flash. And I doubt it formats it to f2fs... So even if the format to f2fs in TWRP was successful - as soon as you flash the rom it'll be ext4 again :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
As this commit would show, there is going to be no gain by formatting anything else but /data to f2fs....

https://github.com/that1/android_kernel_asus_tf700t/commit/86baa648c7f6978e941d8ae18479b0ac94c9ed24

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
oops - of course it could not see it - lol - although I could wipe and change it to f2fs, until I actually mounted /system it came back as ext4. After mounting, it shows as f2fs.

My bad.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes, and that is going to be how all the kernels for the Transformer line of tablets are going to be....

For sure all of them that are included in our rom....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Ahh, crap, I have to pay attention to the mount points too lol. At the very least I'd have to change the mount points of cache and system to f2fs and remove the system format line altogether to get this to work.

I'll spend my time more wisely and peruse that link Josh gave me first :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] jokapo:
I did formatted the Micro SD correctly.

Does it make a difference if i install only Rom2SD / DATA2SD or install them both?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ariadnejro:
Am I the only one having graphical issues with latest rom? (blurry fonts, smaller fonts in some apps, misplaced icons in certain themes, screen garbage in Amiga emulation)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I installed the apps package right after I installed the ROM. Only problem I have run into is that the calendar (actually both, b/c there are 2 of them) keep giving me double FCs on calendar storage....
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Correctly for what? Data2sd or rom2sd?

You can't have both.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
F2FS optimizes writing, and /data is the only partition that is written to in normal operation. So it's not worth the hassle trying to convert /cache and /system. You'd need to change the fstab in the kernel ramdisk, or you'd have to modify the custom init source code to mount /system as f2fs for running preinit and extend the preinit scripts for auto-detecting the filesystem on the other partitions. As you already found out, you need to modify the ROM installer script too.

It should take no noticeable amount of time to run sync unless you just wrote a lot of data that must still be pushed to the storage device.

That's not a partition, it's a directory under /data. Or maybe under /cache, if CM does it differently than the stock ROM.

ROM2SD is already a superset of Data2SD. You can't install them both.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
[MENTION=3850416]lartomar2002[/MENTION] I don't believe I need flash installing separately. I have tried and it won't install anyway. See further up.

I have run into another problem now. I converted to ART and then tried to install the Asus apps package. I now have boot loop and can't correct with reflashing the Rom. TBH it's probably time I wiped anyway as I have dirty flashed from the original crombi-kk to now. Along with trying titanium restores of Asus apps and installing the TF701 versions without getting them working. Probably due a clean up! I'm thinking of trying F2FS as well. [emoji106]
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I dont want to seem rude, but at the point you enable ART there is no reason posting that you have an issue...

Just takes up room in my forum and helps no one....

[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
As the amount of time the devs take in creating these roms (believe me it isn't a 2 second thing) and the time they spend helping users out in a friendly manner (especially [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION]), the least we could expect is for the users to read up bit on what they are getting into when installing these roms. This rom is Cyanogenmod based, Cyanogenmod does not support ART, and neither does GOOGLE right now. It is a developmental runtime that is not ready for prime time yet. Even if Cyanogenmod or Crombi-KK team supported ART, they could not guarantee that all apps are also compatible with ART. The devs of these applications also have to tweak their apps so that they could run on ART. The Asus apps are made for Android 4.3 so you could not expect them to work with ART which was not introduced until Android 4.4. Having said that everyone is still willing to help but if you don't provide anybody with more information other than "it doesn't work" there is nothing that anybody can do and it wastes forum space.

If you want something looked at and possibly solve at a minimum you should be at least doing the following:

1) Which version of the ROM you are on.

2) Which kernel you have installed

3) data2sd? Rom2sd? F2FS? etc.

4) What you did to reproduce the issue(s)

5) Any relevant logs - Logcats, dmesg, last_kmsg

Without this information it is almost impossible for anyone to help you. Plus it lets people know you are willing to put in the effort to help squash any bugs that may be present, which will entice people to help you out more ;)

I don't have twrp on any device atm, as I remember tap wipe and then the button on the right of the screen instead of the one you have been using one the left side. It will give you the option to type - yes -

You should do more research and reading, like the link I sent you on a earlier post.

Just flashing things with no regard to how, you can damage or brick you device, its up to you to read the information. Its all easy to find and well written.

Edit: My bad - Phil's touch 6 is a touch cwm. Its what I have on my tf700 lol. I have flashed so many Recovery's so many times I think I am losing it. But still please research before you do anything your not sure of, read it and read it again if need be. :)

Well its been a crappy month for my tablet. My lcd screen went out so it took awhile for me to get a replacement for that and fix it. Now a week later i went on a trip and i have seemed to of misplaced it. Now i no longer have a tf700 so i guess i am out of the game for now. It has been great and the work that is done here is amazing. Keep it up and i may join in if i get another 700 later or i may upgrade to the 701. I just kind of worry about the dock connector issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmgnet:
IMHO, if you have a "true class 10" sd card for reads(easy)/writes(not easy), which you have verified with any number of speed tests on PC or android, then you will find the best results with Data2SD / and perhaps also F2FS.

I don't need or really want two bootable androids on the same device, so just moving on with data2SD has been great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
You need to realize that rom2sd can give you more options, IMO. I have ran it with ext4 for data internally. While running f2fs for data on the external sdcard. Good for testing or various reasons. If you want to you can power down change the sdcard and keep your fully configured rom with f2fs or whatever you chose on the other sdcard for when your ready to use it. Card in one way to run the rom, card out another way to run your system. Easy enough if you have the extra sdcard. Just saying...
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The "class" rating is only about sequential writing speed (for photos and videos), but that says very little about the performance for an Android data filesystem. Some class 4 cards are faster with random access than some class 10 cards. There are also differences how many parallel writes the cards can handle well, which is not reflected in any official rating but makes a big impact on performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I gotta say, after doing a clean install of the latest build, my tablet is running better than ever. Straight install on internal, journaling and sync off, with the video tweaks enabled. I've been toying the idea of upgrading, but honestly, after this last release, I'm not sure why I would. I does everything I want (mostly watching video, web, email and a handful of games) pretty well and without issue.

I'm attempting to install Data2SD with F2FS on CROMBi-kk. I think I have the procedure down correctly? I went ahead and partitioned my MicroSD with FAT32 and F2FS using Gparted, it just seemed easier that way. I already have twrp_f2fs installed since my internal DATA is setup for F2FS. From here would all I have to do is install CROMBi-kk and select DATA2SD and choose the CM11 kernel?
