This question is for the people that have mainly used rom2sd since I have absolutely no experience with that configuration. Does rom2sd speed up several things or mainly the IO? This is what I run at without rom2sd and this old tablet has never been so supercharged. View attachment 2624183

I have not used kk. Therefore, I don't know if it is enable by default or not. However, I have heard that kk is fsTRIM supported...:) Thanks for the clarification...:good:

You should be happy...:) In my opinion, Crombi kk is the best ROM for the tf700t so far by testing and data...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Just to let you know, the asus app package most likely will not be art compatible. IF sbdags is using the asus apps package that I modded for CM11 still, the asus apps WILL NOT be art compatible. Although, if you install the crossbreeder goodye P edition mod, you can get art like performance on Dalvik.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kenryan:
Hopefully a quick question ...

I currently have CROMi-X installed and _that v10 kernel. I prepared a fresh SD card according to the instructions at the beginning of the devel thread for a ROM2SD install.

Does the install of CROMBi-kk in its ROM2SD form wipe data from the internal memory? I assume it's at least at risk of fat-fingering the new install, but if I do manage to follow the -kk install instructions correctly will my -X data survive?

Thanks!

The purpose of rom2sd is to run two separate installations side-by-side.

So if you do it right, the rom2sd install will change nothing on your internal installation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tinkerman61:
Running R1P2 now with sbdags defaults on internal. Very smooth and snappy.

Much improvement over CROMI-X.

Great work! :good::good:

Not the expert here, but did you try charging the dock without turning it on / attaching it to the tablet? Leave it a day charging and then try again?

Weird External-SD internal-SD problem

Installed a few days ago "cm-11.0-20140921-tf700t-crombi-kk-R1_signed"

I (dirty) installed it as usual for me as Rom2SD. Everything went fine.

Yesterday my tablet suddenly stopped, ... FC. Rebooted and went in a bootloop.

So today I will install CROMBi-kk_R1_Test_Patch_2_signed.zip

1 Downloaded "CROMBi-kk_R1_Test_Patch_2_signed.zip" on my laptop.

2 Copied "CROMBi-kk_R1_Test_Patch_2_signed.zip" to my external SD.

3 Inserted my external SD in the Tablet.

4 Boot in recovery.

5 Install ... but the file "ROMBi-kk_R1_Test_Patch_2_signed.zip" was gone... ?? Weird???

6 Back to my laptop, copied the file again to my external SD and deleted another file.

7 Inserted my external SD in the Tablet. Boot in recovery. Install ... but the file "ROMBi-kk_R1_Test_Patch_2_signed.zip" was gone again. Weird again!

8 Surprise! Surprise! The file I deleted on the external SD (using my laptop) was there again.

9 So I deleted the file (in recovery on my Tablet) and powered off.

10 Inserted the external SD in my laptop .

11 Surprise! Surprise! The file I deleted on the external SD (using my recovery) was there again. ????

--> 6 7 8 again

12 Reinstalled "cm-11.0-20140921-tf700t-crombi-kk-R1_signed" and on the end I choosed to save the install log on my external SD. In file manager I can see the complete install_log.txt

13 Bootloop again.

--> 10 11 again

14 Wanna make a clean install. So I choosed wipe data. But it hangs on "Formatting Data"

15 Forced stopped (Power + Volume up)

16 Installing cm-11.0-20140921-tf700t-crombi-kk-R1_signed" again.

17 Internal memory 0MB ... Does it mean internal memory is corrupted?

18 Nothing works!

19 Formatting data does not work anymore. It hangsfor an hour on "Formatting Data"

Any advice?

is your SD Card working like normal now?

i had this happen on one of my SD cards. files survived deletion / formatting. new files copied disappears when remounted even after I verified file hashes after copying.

i contacted SanDisk and they said my card was hosed somehow, and i got a warranty replacement.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

after the first freeze, i fully charged the dock (based on LED) before trying again.

i'll give the longer charge a try and see if that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eRPeeX:
Nope, she is still out of control! Gonna give warranty replacement a try, thnx!

Even linux (GParted) can't format the SD anymore. Started a warranty replacement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Weird thing happened yesterday. My tab wouldn't wake up when I hit the power button and I had to hold it down and force a reboot. I notice that it is taking 2 or 3 minutes to boot since the latest update. Anyway, when I got back in all my widgets had disappeared and had to be put back and all the icons on the bottom row (Apex Launcher) were gone and I had to reboot again just to get them back. This is the first time anything like that had happened. Anyone know what would cause that?

Latest ROM

Is the ROM posted on 10/1 on Androidfilehost the same as the one posted on 09/21 just including Patch 2?

Patch needed or not?

What is the current consensus on the current R1 release? Is the patch needed or not? I'm currently running the 20140719 crombi-kk build and the tablet performance has been getting quite poor lately so I figured it's about time for a full wipe/reflash.

Thanks!

Does anyone here know how to do a nandroid backup in TWRP for a DATA2SD installation? I am familiar with the ROM2SD process for backup but can't find anything in the OP on doing a backup for DATA2SD.

Do I need a special install file like the one for ROM2SD (rom2sd1.zip).

Can't do a backup which is kinda scary. :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
There is a data2sd1.zip in the download tab at the top of ever page ....

There's a small data2sd zip just like rom2sd zip in the OP.

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I'm not sure this is anything other than my imagination. Since I "fixed" the perceived issue, I only have anecdotal evidence. If someone else thinks they may see this, perhaps what follows will help.

I recently had tried the Zombi Rom (great Rom, but it just isn't stable enough for everyday yet). So back to Crombi-KK R1 (w/ patch 2) I came. And during the install, under "launchers" I went for only Google Now and Apex. I also installed some of the Asus 1.94 apps, for what that's worth. When I told Android which launcher to use as default, I did it *through Apex.* And it did work to do it that way.

However, it also seemed to function erratically, esp. noticable in lag and jerk I didn't remember Crombi-KK having before. In addition, Chrome browser and Google Play Store behaved as though they were broken (they wouldn't find the network even though I could surf via other apps). So I loaded Google Now, then -- via normal Android setup this time instead of through Apex -- picked Apex as my default launcher (that's done of course via Settings > Home Screen).

The snappiness is back and odd Chrome / Play Store app behavior gone. Hope that's helpful. Or maybe it was just me. ;)

How do i install patch?

Done, now tablet ROCKING LIKE A BOSS
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The same way you installed the rom. If rom2sd either flash it straight after flashing the rom or flash rom2sd1.zip first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I had a similar experience after coming back to this ROM from Zombi. I tried the Trebuchet Launcher since it seemed better for me than the Google Now Launcher and it has worked great since. My thought was that something isn't working well with Apex.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I get a lot of "Apex has stopped working" issues but that has been fairly consistent with all versions of this ROM that I have used. I never used Apex until I started using this ROM so I can't compare it with previous experience. I like the launcher so I put up with it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I've always liked Apex and a couple years back bought the pro version. That said, I'll be keeping an eye on it for more misbehavin'. Right now, since I mucked about with the alternative way of making it the boss launcher, things seem to have settled down.

By the way, just because I switched back to Crombi-KK from Zombi, no one should assume I didn't like Zombi. I *loved* its speed -- really mind-blowing. But it just isn't quite ready for prime time yet. If sdbags and the other geniuses here get it moved forward a few iterations, I will likely go back to it at the snap of an undead Android's finger.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
This makes sense. If you do it through Apex, although it is supposed to set the setting in Android Settings for your default, I've seen where Android is still unaware (happens with Nova, too).

When you used the actual android settings, in effect you're telling Android which one to use, so *both* launchers are not actually running, one in the background and one as your actual launcher. hence the subjective speedup.

I haven't tried Zombi yet, other than a quick install which failed (my own goof there). The work I do now does not require my tablet, so I can start playing on it, but the work that I do now keeps me out of the house 13-14 hours a day, including commute, so I find I have a lot less time to play....
[Asus Transformer TF700] tinkerman61:
Currently running R1 with Patch2 and the Asus Apps. Used the default install on internal and Apex launcher. I am seeing 7 minute boot times like another poster. I guess this means I need to do a clean install to fix this (dirty flashed over RC3). I am also using the keyboard dock if that helps at all.

Can I flash R1, Patch2 and the Asus Apps at the same time, or separately with a reboot in between?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
If you haven't yet done something drastic, try this -- which does require you have at least one other launcher installed (You can install google now launcher from google store I think).

Go to settings > home > and choose the non-Apex launcher. Then close Apex (either via running apps button at screen bottom or via apps in settings). Then go back into settings and choose Apex as your default launcher again. Remove Google Now launcher or whatever other one you used from running apps. Then reboot, and see if the issue has gone away.

I am not a developer, but the above seems safe enough to try. ;)

ADDED: I must say, though, that NOVA launcher sure is snappy w/ Crombi-KK. Hmmm.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] tinkerman61:
[MENTION=4900763]shonkin[/MENTION], thanks for the reply. The other launcher I currently have installed is Trebuchet, which I believe is the CM launcher. I tried swapping launchers per your suggestion, however that did not fix the long boot times. I am unable to uninstall the Trebuchet launcher from settings/home because the garbage can next to it is greyed out. I am also using the Asus boot animation instead of the CROMBI-KK/CM default animation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kenryan:
Hi, just thought I'd post my experience in case someone else has a similar problem and happens to use the search function. on this thread.

I prepared an external 64GB card as per the install instructions on the CROMBi-kk thread. I have a netbook running Ubuntu 14.04, so I used that instead of booting from a stick. It took me a bit to get the partitions sorted, as I made a couple mistakes in using gparted at first. But the layout looked fine when I was done (this is foreshadowing) (a valid literary technique).

Booted into TWRP, ran the -kk installer off of the internal sdcard. All semed to go fine, pretty much used the sdbags default except selecting ROM2SD. Rebooted, the boot animation came up, and I waited. And waited.

At one point I let it go for about an hour. Retried the install several times, including installing the rom2sd1.zip a couple times; the instructions are not terribly clear how to use that bit. At one point I also flashed in the patch, I'm not sure where that ended up going. But the end result was the same - sitting at the boot animation, 20+ minutes going by, wondering if anything was going to happen.

Finally pulled a logcat to see what was going on. After taking much longer than it should have to discover I plugged the wrong cable into my computer out of the tangle on my desk, I got the logcat. I didn't understand a lot of it, but it seemed like it just wasn't finding very many files it wanted. So I powered down the tablet, put the sdcard back into my laptop to see what was on it. It looked like stuff was there - but something didn't seem right.

Turned out the fiddling around with partitions in gparted is what screwed things up. While I had the partitions laid out properly in the graphic display, and they were in the right order, I failed to notice that gparted apparently assigns the partition number by the order the partitions are created. Or something like that. Bottom line, even though I had the partitions in the right order in the display the assignment to sdb1, sdb2, sdb3 were all mixed up. It appears that in that case twrp and the boot image (initrd?) end up with different opinions on which partiton is where. So the boot scripts were not able to find anything they were looking for.

I wiped the sdcard again, this time manually creating the partitions using fdisk and mkfs. This time the COMRBi-kk installer ran, rebooted, and a few minuted later I got to the setup screen. Much better!

One other hint I didn't pick up on until after the fact was the brief text that appears as the kernel is starting to boot. It lists the partitions to be used - when they were mixed up two of the three showed up as "read-only". I guess that's because the fat32 and one of the ext4 partitions were swapped so the boot got confused.

So it's off to bring over the data from my CROMi-X internal memory, and spend some time with a (hopefully) new tablet!
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Try Nova. I put that on tonight myself, and ended up going right back and shelling out the four bucks for the commercial version (though the free version is fine, just a few less bells and whistles). You could load that up and see what the result is....

and if you installed Trebuchet it should show up. That's just weird.

Unable to mount internal storage

Hi guys. I know that this is already discussed here. But I can't find a propoer answer for this. I tried to flash this amazing rom. Updated the TWRP to it.

I did a fullwipe and tried to do a format data (why i did it I don't know). During the format data the tablet stoped responding and I did a reset. after that i could instal the rom, but I got a loop... THe tablet doesn't start... it stops in crombi logo. I tried different kernels, but teh same result, no boot. I tried several times to do a wipe yo install the rom again, but every time it says it failed due to ir was not possible to mount internal storage/data/cache and everithing else...

ROM2DS Installation not working for me

Hi,

I try to read all the information given on the CROMBi-KK installation thread and I tried to install this ROM twice in ROM2SD mode but it does not seem to work.

- The installation seems OK (no error message)

- When the tablet restart, it says /data and /system on external device but when the boot ends, I am on the internal installation

What I did is the following :

- I upgraded my recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.0 with ZIP file (previously on TWRP 2.6.3.2)

- I formatted my 64 Go SD Card as explained with G-Parted live (1/ FAT32 30 Go 2/ Ext4 28 Go 3/ Ext4 1 Go)

- I was previously on CM11 Snapshot 10, I upgrade internally to CROMBi-KK 20140921 (success) with full wipe)

- then, I tried rom2sd installation. Seems OK for the installation (in recovery) but when rebooting, starting on internal installation even if writing :

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data on internal

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data on microsd (ext4)

/dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /system on microsd (ext4)

Once tab is up, if I open a terminal window and run mount command, I see only internal mount points:,

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system ext4

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache ext4

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data ext4

My card is a Sandisk Ultra 64 Go UHS-1 Class 10

Logcat and device info attached.

Thank you in advance for your help.

[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I first downloaded the file with my tablet and it couldn't even open the file when trying to flash. So I downloaded it to my PC like I usually do and transferred it to my tab and it flashed okay but wouldn't boot. Since it usually takes about 3 or 4 minutes to boot I waited until I was sure it wasn't going to before rebooting into recovery. Next, I reinstalled version 1.4 asus apps and it still wouldn't boot. Next I flashed Crombi ROM and again and it booted but I am back at 1.4 version of the apps. This is why I didn't know if 2.0 works for the 700 or not. thanks for the help.

I have not flashed the patch, would that help me? It is working great with the Trebuchet Launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
hmm.. i don't think the patch would impact install / boot.

Apps 2.0 is working fine so far for me on CROMBi-kk (and ZOMBi). maybe corrupt download both times?

here is the MD5 i have for my CROMBi file you can compare to

MD5: 6fd467065f59805581648c27b5864f90

also, i wasn't sure if flashing over an old App version would work so I flashed CROMBi-kk (R1), then the patch #2, then the Asus App 2.0 Zip.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I will need a MD5 explained to me, sorry.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
MD5 is an algorithm that will create a checksum / "fingerprint" of a file.

if your download was corrupt, the checksum / "fingerprint" on your file won't match the original file's MD5.

in Windows, I use Hash Check Shell Extension which adds a tab to File Properties where you can see different checksums including MD5

http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Also as the zip files are signed you don't really need md5 checks. Just turn on signature verification in your recovery and it will check it for you.

FYI, I gave the latest R1 P2 release a go and it was pretty flaky. Had a few hangs/restarts and eventually got into a GEL crash loop. This was on a clean install with all defaults. I appreciate the work, but at least for me, the July release was much more stable and I'm back to that now. Kind of bummed, but it is what it is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I suspect that's not much help to the developers here. Perhaps include an error log so they can help you sort it out? I've been running Crombi-KK r1 p2 with no real issues, as I suspect others have here. Not dissing you, just saying you'll help the process to create a better Rom more with more specificity in your posts.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
I understand it's not very helpful but I'm already back on the previous build since I needed my tablet functional. I just wanted to put another data point out there that the latest release doesn't seem to be as good as the previous one for some of us. No idea why, sorry I can't be more helpful.

BTW, I forgot to mention in my original post that I got a bunch of FC with Chrome with R1 P2. Not sure if that's a ROM issue or an app issue since I haven't seen anybody else mention it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like your tablet has its own special issues. Post a logcat after a fc and maybe we can tell you why....

My guess is some /data/data needs cleaning.
