OK Don't know then - anyone else confirm the same issue. And you have ext4 on you /datai partition?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ishamm:
hows the performance difference between rom2sd and f2fs? i have rom2sd currently (fast class 10 uhs1 card), but still get some serious lag over time. thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ariadnejro:
Yes, I have ext4 in my /datai partition. It's true that, in order to save space, I don't have a working rom installed on internal. Can this be the issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lyrelai:
Just an observation. Flashed CROMBikk 0503 last night on internal. It works great. One little thing bothers me though: While in docking mode, if I do not lock screen and directly close the lid, I found that most of times, the screen is not automatically locked for me.

The reason that I found out about this is I have the touch sound enabled and tf700t keeps emitting touch sound continuously and accidentally triggers some apps placed on my screen to run.

This might explain some of the things users see in the previous posts.

If I lock the screen first before closing the lid, the machine sleeps fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You don't save any space not installing a rom on internal. You're wasting the space in /system [emoji12]
[Asus Transformer TF700] wenchien:
[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], thank you for your reply. :D

It's the second partition on sdcard, and it is formatted by mkfs.f2fs in linux with a card reader. After installation completed, I shutdown the tablet and use the same card reader to check this partition. I can find a valid f2fs filesystem and a lot of files in it. Guess this "Encryption unsuccessful" is caused by a non-f2fs kernel. Is there a way to tell which kernel is installed?

The "segmentation fault" and "fail to ls /dev/block/mmcblk*" are also found with f2fs+internal and ext4+[data2sd,internal]. Can't find them with 0403 or 0501, so they are 0503 specific.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ariadnejro:
I think I don't agree.

My tablet runs on data2sd f2fs, which means that there is an installed rom in /system that, thanks to _that's kernel and modded ramdisk, points to a /data partition on the MicroSD.

If I don't install a working internal configuration I save a lot of space: /data/app, /data/data, data/media/0/Android etc. In my current setup /datai has only /datai/media/0 where I can store music, movies and documents.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you talking about data2sd or rom2sd? If data2sd you have no choice you still have your /system on internal but your /data is moved to external.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

That is correct and should not be causing you any problems. Does data2sd work for you if you use ext4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I flashed the new ROM and the patch, and it worked great, no problems at all. [emoji51] Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Which patch?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
The first patch to fix the internal install f2fs, I got a late start. Getting ready to try the fix for internal f2fs with external f2fs rom2sd to see if I can get cromi-x f2fs to work on external.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
As for me I hate to tell you the second patch does not change anything for me I got internal F2fs ( working )but external Rom2Sd f2fs still got stuck at the encryption
[Asus Transformer TF700] agepi91:
Yes well, at first I did install the rom and everything seemed fine, I did a reboot and I got stuck between twrp and the 4 linux penguins, ok I tried everything after that - couldn't get a better result

after that I got some help from some other members and so I could reinstall the rom but after that I got stuck in a bootloop - just the normal bootscreen but nothing after that

it did happen with both the other kernels so I thought I should just wipe everything and start anew but I got the idea why shouldn't i try the kernel from hundsbuah and to my surpise it did work

so I am currently stuck with this kernel

is it possible to change kernel without installing the rom anew? like with goomanager or something like that?

thanks for the help
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
How did you format your extSdCard? Did you get a successful gparted f2fs format? I think it's still a bug, but after formatting I couldn't get a confirmation that the format was successful so I went back to ext4 data2sd and it's been great.

--

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - I'm assuming that disabling fsync still applies to data2sd even though the description in aroma says to internal data?
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
I got it formatted in Gparted successfully I know there is a bug since Gparted does not recognize F2f2 after its own format but I got It working before all the patches but on external only in this case

I have Crombi-KK 2014 05 02 f2fs on internal. Can't get anything to work with it for rom2sd, I tried cromi-x 5.4 but it will not work the kernel and some of the modules appear to transfer to the internal drive like their being sucked down there. I also tried Crombi-KK internal with Crombi-KK on external, just to see if it would work, it didn't. The good news is Crombi-KK f2fs works well with the fix-f2fs-internal patch.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm testing this setup now, bear with me.

Got internal f2fs working well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
FWIW - went back and reinstalled 4/03kk, data2sd as ext4 and no segmentation fault and booted ok.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
How do you guys get the /data partition on microsd formatted to f2fs? I can't get TWRP to format it and Gparted has f2fs greyed out ..... :confused::confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Just to be clear, I am trying to get rom2sd working in f2fs on external and internal, which already works on internal.

I have never been able to get rom2sd f2fs to work on external, just ext4 worked before. So I don't think its your ROM as far as I know f2fs has never worked on the external.

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

I had to delete the partition once and repartition the format with gpart the format again with f2fs twrp

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

If that doesn't work for you, use gpart to format to fat32 then twrp should work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
I had it formatted in Gparted at least working with the 2 last versions and not greyed out for me
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm that didn't work for me - what I had to do is format it to ext4 in gparted, boot to twrp, run rom2sd1.zip, then format to f2fs.

Anyway installing data2sd +f2fs and f2fs on internal now..........
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
So, looks like modified TWRP 2.7 with F2FS /data partition formatting is going to be required, until someone gets the GParted F2FS format working correctly for external.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
I am just curious how to format SD card with several partitions?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Were you running gparted on a kernel with f2fs support and did you have mkfs.f2fs available? If not, then you know why it didn't work. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Don't forget to try and install rom2sd +f2fs and f2fs on internal, if you get that to work you may be the first.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
Ok did another install to internal and reformatted everything. Seems that i missed to check the systemfolder of internal. I think that was the problem causing the processor to max out at 1500mhz. Withouth Rom2SD and with journaling enabled, Fsync on with _Thats kernel on performance this puppy have never been faster. By the way ARTs is enabled aswell and rocking.

Here is a screenshot for you to drool over :)

Next test is to install with Rom2SD and see what that might do, should speed things up even more. :)

Boys this is screeming fast!!!!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
Strange, when i install Rom2sd it seems to slow down and arts don't kick in dalvik is always on. The scores are back to 6250 in quadrant. The io performance stays the same. Somehow i don't think rom2sd plays well here. Can have something to do with that the rom2sd to work i have to perform a install to both internal and then rom2sd?

Yowser! That is quick. Wonder why installing it to rom2sd causes it to slow down again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
My question was in relation to TWRP

So How to do it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
To create partitions using TWRP, you need to run "fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1" via adb shell. (EDIT: but it is recommended to use gparted instead because fdisk may not align partitions to megabyte offsets, giving bad performance on flash media. Note that you don't need to *format* the created partitions in gparted though, that can be done on the tablet as well.)

To format the /data partition with the filesystem defined in TWRP's fstab, you can use the TWRP menu. To make TWRP think that /data is actually your second partition on the microSD card, "install" rom2sd1.zip before formatting.

To format any partition with any filesystem, you can use adb shell again: e.g. "make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p2" or "mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p2". You may need to adb push mkfs.f2fs first (you can find the binary in my kernel thread).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah not working but we are looking into it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Thank you for the great ROM. I missed installing the Google experience launcher. Is there a way to get it installed without starting over? Thx.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK I got rom2sd / data2sd + f2fs on both internal and external working!! Thanks to _that for his patience and extreme genius!

I'll have updates in the morning - time for sleep now :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Extreme genius? I suggested to spell "mmcblk0p1" correctly and to use only supported mount options. ;)

But yes, it was very late and we learned a lot in this session...

In other news, the next kernel's init can auto-detect the filesystems, so the next version of the preinit script will be able to build the correct fstab automagically (for internal, Data2SD or Rom2SD with ext4 or f2fs on internal and external) without needing all those pre-made flashable variants.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I had to do Gparted Live boot - I couldn't do it from ubuntu. However, after formatting via Live boot there's that 'bug' that doesn't recognize the f2fs formatted partition on the sd card so I'm not sure how to verify that it's a viable partition other than the operation reports successful after formatting.

If you use a f2fs twrp and run rom2sd.zip would a format data work?

Sorry - should have refreshed my browser first.. :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:

Possible battery issues?

Is anyone else seeing cLock be higher than expected (consistently second after display) in the battery consumption app list? I simply disabled it after not being able to affect it by playing with various settings. Also when I go to battery settings I don't get the ramp that shows rundown over time. I'm just curious whether it's just on my configuration only. I've got a standard install so no d2rom, etc . I don't recall seeing this prior to the 20140503 rom.

Which partitions are f2fs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Reporting in:

1. I can't get Cromi-X 5.4 to work in rom2sd on the external in f2fs or ext4 formats. It may need a update first if the Dev

2. I do have Crombi-KK f2fs running on the internal drive and Crombi-KK f2fs running on the external drive. Rom2sd. [emoji51]

The rom2sd f2fs is running very well and I configured one for testing purposes and one for daily use. I believe that

f2fs may be more dependable than some people thought, including me.

Hi,

I made the switch! Tablet is working nice & fast!!

Since the last version of Cromi and also with Crombi now I have the following problem: as soon as I put the TF700 in its dock, it crashes to a black screen. I have to remove the tablet from the dock, press the power-button once or twice for a very long time to get it restarted.

Is this problem known? If not: How can I most effectively make a log of this problem to provide useful data?

Thanks,

Search on xda for 'grab a logcat' or 'capture a logcat' and follow the instructions.

Can you post the whole logcat please. Anyone else confirm this problem - I may no changes to the rom at all since 0427 - the only difference has been with the mount points for f2fs so something else may be causing this.
