I use GEL and use a custom WP - and have been doing so for at least 2 months now.

And this is on both my TF700 as well as my Galaxy S III, on which I currently have C-ROM 6.6 installed....

TWRP 2.7.x.x has native f2fs support. In fact, you can also manually choose what file system to format the data (and a couple of other) partitions, and then it will recognize the filesystem on that partition and wipe it accordingly in the future.

That would actually depend upon real world testing of your card - as [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] has stated more than once before, some class 4 cards have outperformed class 10 cards in certain read / write tests, so it really depends upon what you get in terms of speed on your specific card.

But, overall, that card should be at least as fast as using the TF700's internal flash :p

I'm using a 32 GB SanDisk Ultra for the latest Crombi-kk and ROM2SD. It runs so smooth and fast that I question whether wiping my internal install of Cromi-x just to install it on internal is worth the effort?

Stay on the ROM2SD setup ;)

Can't flash Cromi kk

Hi, I am on the Cromi x 5.4 Rom right now and I tried to flash to Cromi kk and it gets stuck and it seems to have something to do with ROM2SD/DATA2SD which I am not sure about that other than a dual boot option but I didn't click on either of them when installing. I am wiping using the factory reset option in twrp and then flashing but I am missing something and had to go back to 5.4.

Any help? thanks

What bootloader are you on?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
10.6.1.27.5 us deodex
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You got that from Settings, right?

On a custom rom those do not reflect your real BL version.

Boot into the BL with Power and Volume Down and read the tiny script. Should be 10.6.1.14.?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
it is that number with a 10 after the 14
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
So much for that idea... You are on the correct bootloader and you seem to be doing everything correct.

Maybe it was just a bad flash - they do happen occaisonally.

Do it all over again including the factory wipe in TWRP and make sure to select the "normal" installation in Aroma.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I don't think he did a complete wipe coming from Cromi-X to Crombi-kk. He said he did factory reset in twrp. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Good enough for a clean install.. ;)

The factory wipe in TWRP wipes all of /data except for /data/media/. That you wipe cache and dalvik is a given and the default in the installer. /system gets formatted during installation.... What else do you want to wipe? :silly:

The next step up would be to format /data and you only need to that if you have corruption.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Not if your coming from another rom base. Then /data. ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50877804
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Even if you are coming from another rom base. A full wipe is a Factory Wipe in TWRP or CWM - trust me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I trust you friend, but that never work for me and we know I am a Flashaholic. Coming from a jb base to a kk base its always been a must to wipe data. Test it again and see.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That's what a factory wipe does as I wrote above.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I will give you this, but agree to disagree. When coming from one base to a other for the first time.... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
If I wipe data I will still have my download folder, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yes, everything in /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/sdcard/0 (which is the same) is in /data/media/, so it will not get touched during a Factory Wipe.

But you're going to back up everything you care about anyway, aren't you?? [emoji6]
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
No you must back everything up first if you do a /wipe data partion. Not if you do a factory wipe as I understand it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You misunderstand.

http://teamw.in/DataMedia
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I know you are much more knowledgeable than I am and have helped me immensely in the past.

1. TWRP states that a factory reset works Most of the time and all you need.

2. He already tried it and it hung on him as I understand so what is next.

3. ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Yes, I have back up everything and will probably wipe more if possible since I have tried it two or three times with just the factory reset.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
If you do that just tap wipe then format data. But remember [MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION] is the expert here all I know is what people like him told me and trial and error. He is a master and I am not even the grasshopper.

He did ask you what BL your on, that is a must to have correct.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
in the advanced wipe the options are, dalvik Cache, system, cache, data internal storage and micro sdcard. The factory reset does teh dalvik, the cache and the data. I know I don't want to do the internal storage and the micro sdcard, What about the system?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
If you have everything backed up, forget advanced wipe, the other button Format Data. Do not reboot until you have flashed Crombi-KK!
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
you mean just do the data button?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You got a point there [emoji16]

But I was arguing in principle - not this specific case. [emoji12]

If you want to format data, go to Wipe > Advanced > Format Data

That WILL erase everything on your internal storage.

Let it finish! Can take a long time.

Which TWRP for CROMBi with F2FS and DATA2SD/ROM2SD

Have been trying to catch up on forum for 20140617 update, and noted some comments about an updated TWRP but am left a little confused (my bad).

Previously I understood it was best to use a TWRP version provided by _that - TWRP2.6.3_that3, but now I'm reading about using standard TWRP 2.7.1.1. Are there any cases where a special TWRP build is necessary, or are we right to go ahead and use TeamWin distributed 2.7.1.1 at http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf700t/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-tf700t.blob

Many thanks to the team for the ongoing CROMBi builds and support - awesome.

swap out sd card

Hi

I'm running the latest version with agni kernel. Data2sd but not ROM to SD. I want to swap my 32gb ext SD for a 64gb card. What do I do to preserve data from old card? What are optimal partition sizes for new card keeping data to SD ? Can I just replace the old card with new or do I have to re flash?

Finally, my tablet still crawls to a snails pace whenever I am downloading from play store. Is this normal? My Samsung note 2 never has this lag

Thanks

Reid,
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
2.7.1.1 is only needed if you want to manage f2fs partitions.

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

Run data2d1.zip

Backup in twrp

Format new card for data2sd in gparted

Insert new card

Restart twrp

Run data2sd1.zip

Restore backup

;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Yep, want to manage F2FS.

So 2.7.1.1 is ok to use from TeamWin downloads, or do you suggest staying with TWRP 2.6.3 _that3.

To clarify: am using ROM2SD + F2FS external (CROMi-X internal)

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Have 20140517 with DATA2SD+ROM2SD on external F2FS, and am trying to upgrade to 20140617 over the top. In recovery before installing, I am NOT running DATA2SD/ROM2SD, which I presume is correct when running the installer. In the 20140617 installing I'm selecting ROM2SD, F2FS and _that10 already installed. I've unchecked the installation of any apps as they are already there in 20140517.

Twice now the TWRP install completes and I reboot to 'Android is upgrading... / Finishing boot' (after boot animation, before android loads) and it seems to be stuck. Forced a reboot the first time, then it stuck at boot animation, forced another reboot and made it to boot up.

I take it this isn't normal behaviour? Is there anything I should be doing, or any logs I should post? Does it have anything to do with unselecting all of the installable items (including launcher)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm using 2.7.1.1

You can post a logcat over adb. Sounds like something is corrupted on /data when this happens - but logcat will identify that for you.

When you sat DATA2SD + ROM2SD what do you mean? You can't have both - either you have DATA2SD (/sytem is on internal with /data on external) or ROM2SD (Both /system and /data on external, usually with a working ROM on internal)

The internal rom must be using _thatv10 for now until we can get init10 implanted into more kernels.
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
I think the problem is not having a launcher. My 20140517 used Apex, and I'm trying to avoid overwriting it, as I'm sick of re-customising it.

If I install no launchers, it sits at Finishing and after a forced reboot sits at boot animation.

If I install Trebuchet, Apex is gone.

So what happens to apps that were installed by 20140517, if I don't reinstall them on 20140617? Besides Apex, I also seem to have lost Swype.

PS: can't logcat atm, will try to do asap.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah ok - yes it won't boot without a launcher.

When you install 20140617 you are moving to a 4.4.3 base which means that the dalvik cache gets rebuilt automatically on first boot. I'm not sure about what you mean by overwriting Apex?

The rom doesn't overwrite Apex data. If you have Apex installed you should always choose Apex in the installer - it will keep your settings and just put the rom version of Apex in /system/app. I try to keep the latest version there as I use Apex myself. Even if it wasn't the latest version and you have updated from the play store previous to installation , android is clever enough to know that you have the latest and doesn't use the one in /system/app

If you don't install an app that you had previously, what android does is clear all the data for that app during the final boot sequence as it assumes you don't want remnants left behind - hence why you lose your settings (and now why you have lost them again).

Always have a backup is the lesson here - restore you backup, update and chose Apex and all will be right again.

Not sure what happened to swype but maybe it isn't compatible fully with 4.4.3? Try reinstalling it from the play store?
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Ok, figured that was the problem with boot. Yes, backups are good. Just wish it was faster to restore (and that I could always remember to do data2sd1.zip and rom2sd1.zip before restoring :( )

I hadn't considered the installer was putting apps into /system/app and the consequences. Can you clarify, if I have the same apps install from Play Store, I'm safe to install them using CROMBi/Aroma installer? (and by safe, I know I should always have backups :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Apex has a backup function. Restore take about 3 seconds. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Yes, and I should remember to do it before, but do you think I could do that? Actually the timing of your post was good, as I was just about to start another install attempt but had forgotten to make an Apex backup. For the record, there's 2 backups in Apex (settings and desktop data - guess who only did 1 last time?).

EDIT: and just after backup up and before I rebooted to install 20140617 again, Apex updated from play store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Whatever you install from the playstore supercedes what ever is installed by the rom UNLESS the rom version is more up to date.....

Playstore apps go into /data/app and can be unistalled using the normal method - this will then force android to use the /system/app version

Rom apps get installed to /system/app unless otherwise specified in the installer. This is a read only partition and apps can only be removed if you use a tool that has root access - like es file explorer or tibu.
[Asus Transformer TF700] norkle:
Thanks for helping me understand that better. I guess Apex hadn't updated in the last month, so the install left we without /system/app (because it was lost in the upgrade) and there was no /data/app because it hadn't updated in the last month.

Have finally done a successful upgrade, selecting Apex Launcher during the Aroma install. As you suggested, the Apex settings were also left intact, so didn't have to restore the Apex settings/data.

All looks great - will spend a little more time to check if anything else went awry.

Thanks sdbags for all the help - don't know how you help out on the forums AND make such great ROM's.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's kinda magic! :D

I also have great support from Team CROMBi - lj50036, _that and hardslog who all work on different aspects of producing the rom.

Hey guys,

I'm new here and this is my first time flashing a custom ROM on my device.

I just upgrade from the previous CROMBi-KK 20140517 to CROMBi-kk 20140617 and I have two questions:

1) Now I'm having the issue of my tablet not turning off when I close it down on the dock --I can see the display is still turned on, and if I shut the display off and close the dock then hit the power button, I can see the display turn on again while it's closed.

This has never happened with the 20140517 ROM, is there any fix for this?

2) I've never see this status icon (the one on the left with the single stick and the fan on top) on my android devices before, only now after I've updated to 20140617 I am seeing it on my tablet; what does this mean?

I can't attach any pictures now because I just registered not long ago.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I wonder if the _that 10 kernel in crombi-kk would work on other CM 11 based ROMs or would the aroma installer be needed to set the proper OC the end user wanted?

wipe data with Rom2sd?

I am running Cromi-X 5.4 _that's v10 on internal and KK Rom2sd and need to wipe data on KK (got the UI data error on last boot).

Question is how to wipe data on external SD card without wiping internal?

Do I run rom2sd1.zip first then wipe data from TWRP?

Or is it best to reformat the ext4 partitions?
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
This is your first post on this problem. You mention rom2sd and data2sd. You know if you use either of these options you must partition your sdcard accordingly. I gotta ask did you read the OP page at all if, you did its always good to read it again.

================================================== ==============================================

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*

We will be using a GParted Live boot USB and a FAST good quality micro sd like a Sandisk or Samsung Class 10 - SDHC/SDXC UHS-1 card with read speed of at least 20MB/S. If you have a cheap chinese eBay card don't bother - they are not good enough.

You will also need a USB Stick with at least 1GB size. Note this process formats the USB disk so don't keep any important files on it. It will also wipe your micro sd so make sure you are prepared.

Currently have CROMi-X 5.4 on internal, but am no longer using it in favour of CROMBi-KK 20140617 external. Is it matter of TWRP backup of CROMBi-KK (running Data2sd1.zip/Rom2sd1.zip first) and then rebooting to recovery (to undo Data2sd1/Rom2sd1) and restoring?

Provided this is possible, my CROMBi-KK uses F2FS - does it matter whether I prepare internal as F2FS or leave as-is? And if I do convert to F2FS am I ok to do it from TWRP 2.7.1.1 recovery?

Hi. On Crombi-KK 17th June,which I just installed today, from 13th June build. Not using ROM2SD, and not using Data2SD. No other experimental tweaks.

After installing, everything started all fine. Then went back into recovery, and installed Asus Apps.

After that, it would reach the stage showing Android apps starting, and then the boot animation would come up - this happened a few times, after which now the table is not event starting :( Have I bricked it ?

Suggestions on how to get this back on its feet?

Besides the "not going to sleep when closing dock" issue (which was bearable), my tablet also started having a lot of issues opening apps like the gallery and Play Music, I keep having errors like the screen going all black, and then the "APP has failed to respond" or something similar. My battery was also heating up bad and I hardly touch the processor settings, I just leave it as it is.

I've restored back to my previous 20140517 version which I feel is slightly more stable, but every once in a while during heavy processing I'm getting random reboots --still more bearable than the current 20140617 version, though. :o

The installer only gives the option to wipe cache and dalvik. That's not enough. Read the OP:

You must do a full wipe in recovery if coming from another ROM base. Do not do a full wipe from the bootloader. Don't forget to do a Nandroid Backup first and give the ROM 10 mins to stabilise!
