[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I see the same thing and I believe it's a result of the original CM base never being built to handle a dock (not a surprise). I eventually removed the card from the dock because not only was the message something of an irritant, I was seeing extended heavy CPU usage due to media scanning of the card on every wake - the tablet was seeing it as a new card being inserted/found. Too bad as it was convenient as extra storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
No sparksd, I think its an energy saving feature, that the Rom/Kernel saves energy while it disconnect DOCK USB Devices. SD Card Reader is maybe an USB device too.

I would like to disable this....

And another question:

I use Data2SD but nor I cant use the "old-original 32GB " internal Ram. How can I fix this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Much obliged, gents. Appears that the freezes are fixed :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
These devices are designed as portable devices not meant to be connected to power all the time (which is btw the fastest way to kill your batteries...). So it goes to battery saving when the device is not used. I do not know of a way to disable that.

Your internal SD is there. Look for sdcardi in your file browser.

CROMBi-kk successful install

After a few false starts, I've gotten CROMBi-kk installed Asus TF700t tablet which was really lagging. I'm hoping this will be the solution. The GUI is clean and simple but I would like to get some more documentation on how to set it up. Is there a manual or FAQ that could provide more information on the GUI and internal controls. Thanks again for your efforts in putting out these solutions.

APK restore

I have a TF700t and used Berndbld"s approach to install CROMBi-kk on my laptop. Things appear to working fine (I would like more info on the GUI setup). One big issue is that I used Asus Backup and Restore (original to my TF700t) to back up Clash of Clans. It originally created an .apk file on my SD card. I see now that they have been renamed .abu. I tried renaming them to .apk (which is what I thought they were originally), but when I click on them I get "There was a problem parsing the package." I can get the game but really don't want to start over given I invested about $60 in the game so far. I've tried TiBackup and several others. They either can't find the file or work on it. Any suggestions to recover that (valuable to me) data?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Asus App Backups are not compatible with anything but stock.

So in order to get this working you will have to:

1. Wipe and Install Cromi-X

2. Restore Game

3. Back up with TiBu

4. Wipe and install Crombi-kk

5. Restore using TiBu

When you wipe don't format data else you will lose your backups so copy them somewhere safe as well just in case ;)

Install Questions

I have everything I wanted to save on my SD card, I assume it is safe there during a wipe or it does it have to be excluded? I did have a nandroid of the original OS which might be on the internal memory

Thanks for your help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
In TWRP go to Wipe and then just swipe the button. That will wipe cache, Dalvik and data without wiping /data/media which is where your Asus backup files and also your nandroid most likely is. This is called a facotry wipe and all you need in most cases when switching roms. This type of wipe should not touch your Asus Backup or your nandroid.

However - just to be safe - first copy the Asus Backup folder containing your game backup to your external card and also your nandroid of the stock rom.You'll find the latter in the TWRP folder, and I believe it's at /sdcard0/TWRP.

Asus Backup comes with CROMI-X - or it's one of the options to install in the Aroma installer. Once you got CROMi-X flashed, make sure your Asus Backup folder is in the same location it was when you made the backup, open the app and restore your game.

Install Titanium Backup (actually I think you can install it with CROMi-X - another option in Aroma) and use it to create a backup of your game and it's data. Select your external microSD as backup location to simplify things or copy the TiBu backup to external.

Wipe in TWRP as above

Flash CROMBi-KK, install TiBu and restore your backup. You may have to have TiBu scan for the backup you made under CROMi-X. Tap: Menu > Preferences > Backup location > Detect

I know I probably shouldn't really post this here (although at least it is the intended thread this time - doh!) but I need to just say a big thank you to you [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] for your work on this ROM, CleanROM Inheritance and CleanROM Xenogenesis and all the rest. I've been using these ROMs near enough since I purchased my Infinity and have just flashed the latest version for the final time* as yesterday I said goodbye to my trusty TF700T because I have finally sold it. You, [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION], and many others here have helped to make the device usable these past couple of years. It was a lagfest on stock and there was no way it would have been in service as long as it was if it were not for your tireless efforts to try and obtain good performance out of a device with a serious hardware bottleneck. To date I don't think I have used a ROM on any device which had so many variants and AROMA options and the support has always been phenomenal!

Thanks again,

-wollac11

*The device was sold to a family member so I may just have to nick it off them occasionally when I see them to flash any future updates ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
Hello, good morning and a nice sunday to you all.

Thanks for your answers about the problems I have with my tf700t and this rom here.

OK, I have understud, that there is no way to disable energy savong features (usb and card reader in dock) I have to live with this.

The other Problem is, I use data2sd and intern I can use sdcardi but if I connect my device to pc and whant to copy some files to sdcardi, the folder is not to see at pc.

If I connect my tf00t with dock to my pc this is what I see in windows explorer:

1. Internal Ram (this means the msdCard Partition using with data2sd (24 GB))

2. SD Card (means the rest from the mSD Card under point 1. (4 GB))

3. SD Card from Dock. 32GB

Where is "sdcardi"???

Anyway, I have readed here that someones could play youtube Vids in 1080p with this rom here.

It works, I can change from automatic to any resolution in youtube, 1080p too.

Also having severe lag

Hi all,

I am also having severe lag since updating to the latest version. I have the following info:

Bootloader: US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" A03

TWRP: v28.8.0.1

I have done multiple full wipes with reinstall.

I have tried with and without the patch.

I pretty much use the defaults when installing.

_that's kernal.

The I did not experience this with the previous non-rc versions.

Any thoughts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Claw22000:
I just finally had the free time from work to finally get this in and I'm also seeing lag. The Web works fine and a few of the games work fine but the screen stops responding sometimes in Netflix and done games. If I press the power button and then unlock it I can get control back. I usually have to press home clear out the memory and rerun the app. It's better than power cycling. Any thoughts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
All of you guys with lag problems probably will have to be patient. sbdags has some family issues to deal with right now and it may be a while before the next update.

In the meantime it would really be helpful if you could run a logcat and post it. I'm really surprised nobody did this yet....

You could also go back to the beta versions. They don't seem to have that problem.

Or try Zombi-X! I love it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Claw22000:
Wow I'm so sorry to hear that. Sbdags is the reason I love this tablet so much. I fact getting a second one for my son. I'll Google logcat and see how to get/use it. That way is ready for him. As for zombie is that a rom by someone else? Is it kk?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It's the same team: lj, sbdags & Co. It's based on KK Omni rom. It has the best boot animation of any rom I've ever seen! LOL

Just that is reason enough to flash it IMO, but on top of that, it runs very, very well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Claw22000:
Do you think it's more stable? Games better?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I haven't had a single issue with it. I'm not into gaming so IDK....

You do have to clean install it, but I prefer it compared to CROMBi - seems to run smoother...

Best for...

What ROM is the best for Battery Life and Gaming. I have 2 of these tablets and will be giving them to my children soon. (2 and a 4 year old) So the games need to be smooth but I also want good battery life as this is how we keep them distracted when we are out and about. Not to mention it makes for a great punishment when they are misbehaving. I have been using the one for a long time with the older CROMI in it and loved that ROM. I just read sever articles that say that kitkat has better battery and smoother operation.

Would someone that knows all of these roms chime in and let me know what they main differences are. Pros and Cons would be nice on each too. I bet this will help many people out that find these forums via google and are trying to decide on which one to devote the time to getting in.

Thanks

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Well you sure are asking for alot.... :D

I would say to you that no custom ROM is going to be better then stock for battery life....

Gaming also is not going to be as good for the most part due to the lack of nvidia's lack of open source support.... :(

I love making the tablet seem faster and have better battery life but its all just an illusion. .... ;)

The best thing to do is test things out and see what works for you and your needs ......

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Claw22000:

They would basically use it as a kid's toy, right? They are not playing Mortal Kombat II (I hope)??? Any of the three: CROMI-X, CROMBi-KK, ZOMBi-X will pay children's games just fine. And if you let them use the tablets for more than 7 hours a day I would have to call Child Protective Services on you [emoji12]

I seriously doubt that it would make any difference which of the 3 roms you choose for use by a kid, but my vote also goes for Zombi. For me battery life is pretty amazing on it.

Good morning.

How often it is necessary to become an answer about my question to use sdcardi?

Sorry but I cant count anymore how often I have postet this question.

If I connect my tf700t device to PC/Laptop (windows7 x64) the sdacrdi folder with the orig 32GB Ram is not to find, not visible.

What is to do, to use this space?

Greets, Wackaman.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Whoa! Do I detect a sense of entitlement here???

How about: copy&carry using a microSD, SD, USB stick???

How about AirDroid, Superbeam, LAN connection using ES File Explorer, File Manager HD or similar???

And remember: You don't HAVE to use data2sd.

Always happy to serve... :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
Thanks for that.

No, I´m "only" frustrated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
When you format a SD card to use for data2sd, the fat32 part is for the purpose of the SD card and the ext4 parttition is for data. I had not tried connecting to my PC since setting up as data2sd, so I just did and can see the external SD card with just the amount of ram formatted fat32, 4gb. I can also see the internal SD card and all folders and files on it. So if I understand what you are saying, the SD card you formatted with Gparted to use for data2sd, you cannot see the portion you formatted fat32? Or did you format the whole card ext4? If that is the case, then you will not be able to see the SD card when you connect it to your PC. Hope this helps.

[Asus Transformer TF700] wackaman:
Hey, nice greetings to theSunshine State.

No, this is an missunderstanding.

I dont search for any sdcards, I try to use, via usb connection to pc, the original 32GB Asus Ram, witch now all is in "sdcardi"

For example, I whant to fill this free space with some movies, music and so on.

Connected to PC I can only see there all sdacrds, means the SDcard in Dock, the SDCard in Tablet.

The Stock Ram I cant see.

Do I have to copy first all the Files to an SDCard and copy than internal with maybe es-explorer???

Maybe, is it possible to create a "LINK" from "sdcardi" in any sdcard folders?

It´s really not practical to copy all files twice...

To All.

Thanks for your efforts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
OK, let's take this one step at a time. I own a 16gb TF700. When I go to settings/ storage/internal storage, I see total space reported as 10.67gb with 9.01 available. That to me means that almost 5gb of ram is taken by the operating system and system files which are not visible on any file browser. I also see SD card, which is the external SD card reporting 4gb available. Connecting my tablet to my PC, using Windows Explorer, I see a MTP device named "ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T" which contains two folders , one named Internal Storage and one named SD card. BTW, I do not own a dock, so if this is where your issue lies, I can't help you there. Anyway, the Internal Storage is the SD card in the /data volume and contains all my file like you mention, music, movies and books. The other folder, SD card, is the space on the external SD card formatted fat32 and shows 4gb available.(the size I formatted it with Gparted) Now, using Root Explorer, I like it better than ES File Explorer, I see "sdcard" which is the internal SD card with all the music, movie and book files. I also see "sdcardi" which under that is 0, legacy and adb. There is nothing inside lagacy or adb and 0 is the internal SD card. The third thing related to storage is a folder named "storage" which has seven folders inside including emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, sdcard2, sdcardi, usbdisk0 and usbdisk1. In particular "sdcard0 is the internal SD card and sdcard1 is the external card. And sdcardi has the three same folders, 0, legacy and adb.

So, my deduction from this is what I see in Windows Explorer as "Internal Storage" is what you are calling "sdcardi". So if you are looking for "sdcardi" using Windows Explorer, you aren't going to see it. So the question is, do you see the MTP device, "ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T" with two folders, "Internal Storage" and "SD card"? If you do see "ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T", that is where you should be looking for your files or copying your files to.

And finally, if the dock is the problem, ie, keeping you from seeing what I see in Windows Explorer, "Internal Storage" and "SD card", why don't you try connecting the tablet directly to your PC and eliminate the dock. I am assuming that when you say

" Connected to PC I can only see there all sdacrds, means the SDcard in Dock, the SDCard in Tablet", the SD card in the tablet you are talking about is the external SD card. You are not seeing the "Internal Storage(sdcardi"). Do you remember Sbdags or lj50036 saying that support for the dock was not included in the CM Roms. Even though it does work to a certain extent, always keep in mind that issues like you are having could be caused by the lack of support in CM Roms for the dock.

[MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION], am I pretty much on track or way off base? Please correct anything I am wrong about. :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You lost me somewhere midway through the first paragraph. LOL :cyclops:

Ok, I just connected my tablet, docked with a microSD in the tablet and a SD in the dock.

Windows sees 3 drives:

INTERNAL STORAGE (which is the internal SD)

SDCARD (which is the microSD or it's fat32 partition in the case of a data2sd partitioned card)

SDCARD (which is the dock SD)

I don't know if there is a way to make Windows see the ext4 partition on the microSD, but I doubt it.

That INTERNAL STORAGE on a data2sd system is called "sdcardi" if you access it with an Android file browser.

@wackaman

The easiest way to test this would be to create a file on your PC, name it: FIND_ME.doc

Connect your tablet via USB, pull that file into INTERNAL STORAGE.

Open your file browser on the tablet, go to sdcardi and you'll see it there.

If that is correct (and it has to be) then you can copy all the media files you want to INTERNAL STORAGE via USB and they will end up right where you want them: on the internal SD.

Hope that clarified something.... :silly::cool:

Sorry if my comment was over your head. :p

So, you basically confirmed what I saw except I don't have a dock, so that SD card was not there for me to see. I agree that there is no way to see the EXT4 partition on the external SD card. So if [MENTION=5428063]wackaman[/MENTION] cannot see the three SD cards that you can and the two I can, then I don't know what to tell him. He should try connecting his tablet directly to his PC bypassing the dock and see if he can see the INTERNAL STORAGE and the SD card. If he can, at least he will be able to copy whatever files he needs to the internal SD card(INTERNAL STORAGE).

NT
[Asus Transformer TF700] snoopygum:
I have a dock & also running Data2SD so I can help clarify here.

In Windows you see this device structure in the Explorer:

ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T

Internal Storage

SD Card

SD Card

Unfortunately, _that is correct, and nevertells2 & berndblb both got an important detail wrong. They actually maps to the following locations on the tablet:

Internal Storage = /sdcard which is physically on the MicroSD for Data2SD setup

SD Card = MicroSD FAT32 partition

If you have a dock, then a 2nd SD Card = Dock full-size SD (I suggest renaming this in Windows to "Dock SD" so it's is less confusing)

With me so far? Now, wackaman is trying to access /sdcardi from Windows. On the tablet, the file directory structure is this:

/

sdcard <-- This is where Windows maps as root of Internal Storage

sdcardi <-- This is where wackaman wants to access from Windows

Since Windows maps "/sdcard" as the "Internal Storage" root directory, one can only access /sdcard and it's sub-directory structure. So, unfortunately one CANNOT simply travel up to "/" and then access "/sdcardi"

Also, berndlbd's advice about copying a file as a test won't work because it will be copied to /sdcard which is on the MicroSD , not /sdcardi, which is the actual internal memory of the tablet.

Clear as mud?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
I stand corrected. I went back and took a deeper look with my 700 connected to my PC. Internal Storage and SD card are in fact on the data2sd formatted SD card. What fooled me was when I restored the /data only nandroid to the data2sd formatted card, it recreated the internal SD card file structure on that card. However, if you look inside any of the folders they are empty. Using an Android file browser, you can see the sdcardi which is the original SD card on the real /data partition, pre-data2sd. So wackaman's problem is, if all his needed files are still on sdcardi, he needs to shut off his tablet, remove the data2sd formatted SD card, turn it back on, copy the files he wants to his PC and after turning off, put the data2sd card back in, turn on the tablet and copy the files to the data2sd SD card. Problem solved! :D

WOW, talking about "Clear as mud!!!!"

OH yeah, almost forgot, he could move the files from sdcardi to the new SD card with an Android file browser. :o

NT
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Thanks for clarifying this!

That's actually how I initially thought it would be - but then I was trying to be smart :laugh:

But my test would still work since - if you don't find FIND_ME.doc in /sdcardi you would know that Internal Storage is NOT = /sdcardi :silly:

Have you tried Superbeam to move or copy files from PC to tablet? Any idea if that would work to avoid having to copy files twice? As in:

PC > microSD > /sdcardi

PC > /sdcard via MTP > /sdcardi

The paid version let's you specify where it copies the transfer files to on the receiving device. But since I don't run data2sd I can't test it.

It "should" work since /sdacrdi is just another storage location and Superbeam can access them through the build-in file browser....

AirDroid probably will not work since it relies on Windows file structure....
