[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
It seems like you are just looking for an excuse to not try KK. I started with the stock Rom that came on the tablet and hated it. Unlocked, and installed CROMi-X and found the tablet bearable again. Made the move to KK find it better than CROMi-X. Is it perfect, no, none of them are. All of these third party Roms on all Android devices are highly experimental and prone to bugs. Is it better then stock or CROMi-X? I say definitely. And all I did was install KK internally with none of the fancy tweaks like Rom2SD or F2FS. IMHO, all the hoops that those who go to all the trouble to install KK on a expensive external SD card with F2FS, fsync off, journaling off etc., to squeeze that last little bit of speed out of KK, and that is mostly what they can measure with Antutu or Quadrant and not actually see with the human eye, is not worth the trouble. I am quite happy with my "Plain Jane", untweaked, nothing fancy, internal install. And like acraigl says, as long a you make a nandroid backup and either copy it to your PC or the external SD card for safe keeping, you can restore it to go back to CROMi-X. I don't remember seeing anyone post here that after installing KK that they dumped it to go back to CROMi-X. It's only the ones that go for the hocus pocus of getting KK to work installed Rom2SD and fancy tweaks that seem to have the most trouble. But once they work out the kinks, they are ecstatic about that too. OR you can sell me your tablet cheap. :p

And to answer your question about restoring your apps and data from CROMi-X to KK. As long as you use TB or a similar app to do so, you will be fine. I have even used CWM advanced restore to restore only data and only had some minor issues, nothing that could not be fixed easliy. I'm pretty sure you can do the same thing with TWRP.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jdgesmlls:
I could not agree more with nevertells2's summary above. I have had my TF700T since May and I just rooted, unlocked, installed custom recovery and started flashing custom ROM's. It doesn't get any easier if you make a habit of taking Nandroid backups of each configuration, using your chosen backup app (I use TB as well, and it has been installed on every ROM I have tried so it just makes sense) to save your apps/settings to apply to other ROMS.

I went back and forth between CROMBi-kk and CROMi-X for days... checking out how each reacted to installing all my apps as I built a base. My chosen ROM has been CROMBi-kk for the last two weeks as I appreciate the new features that KK has to offer.

I can re-base my tablet between these two ROM's in about 30 minutes with the same configuration. I am also not using any special Rom2SD or F2FS etc. so I can't comment on that aspect. I haven't seen the need at this point. The ROM's have been fast and reliable thus far and most of all I like the variety.

Just my opinion, but anything is better than the stock ROM. If ASUS *ever* does released an Android 4.4.x ROM for the TF700T... I will no doubt give it a try... because I can.. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] corb06:
Is this normal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] steve0.adams:
I must have very bad habits. Have never done a clean install except when I switched from crombi x to kk. Never do backups and let Google play restore my apps. Have had only minor issues most of which were bugs that were fixed by later updates.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
14 an hour? More than normal ;)

I have seen google request 3000 an hour previously - that is when you start to worry :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
When then tf303 is finally released and the ROM is pushed to asus's download page it might be able to be ported to our tablet, sense that screen resolution is the same so the system partition should be of similar size.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Starlust:
Just thought I'd stick my nose back in here to say that I moved to KK last week and have not looked back. Was using CROMi-X. I see no reason to return to it. Quite happy with the performance of the TF700 with KK compared to CROMi-X and especially ASUS stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
I finally made the jump to KK and I concur. No reason to go back to CROMi-X.

NOTE: I don't own the dock so any compatibility issues with this ROM and that accessory won't be visible to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
I have a dock, and I've been using the crombi-kk for a week now. It's been just great with or without the dock. I use the dock only while doing ssh. No need to be afraid there, even the Finnish version of kb layout is working ok. Also the USB port in dock is ok.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Great to here it is working good for you.....

Thx for the feedback..

Thx Josh and Team CROMBi
[Asus Transformer TF700] Starlust:
Just a quick question...I usually have a mouse connected to the dock when at work via USB. I notice that since switching to KK from CROMi-X that the right mouse button behavior is different...it now acts like the left button. Previously it used to act like the "back" button.

Did the behavior change for KitKat or is this simply a configuration issue? I did not install the ASUS stuff when I flashed KK on my system and I don't see any mouse config in the settings anymore.

BTW it's really nice to have a clean and clear mouse pointer now. That old dark-blue-black one always drove me nuts!
[Asus Transformer TF700] pogibry:
I am unable to change the wallpaper. When I do, the background is black and the menus dont work properly. I tried googling with no avail. This is very frustrating because it works on the official cm ROM and I'd much rather use this one. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
CM11 is not designed with docks and mice in mind I'm afraid.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Starlust:
OK so....the tablet just crashed. When I hold down the power button I get two buzzes followed by....four green Linux penguins. Then it goes black.

Can't get the tablet to boot at all now, it just goes black after that.

EDIT:

Hmm, it's acting like it has no power. Granted I've been using it all day but the battery levels in both dock and tablet didn't go down all THAT much. And I didn't see the re-charging action of the dock, something I've seen it do just fine since switching to KK. I will plug it in when I get home and see what happens.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Hey mate...

Tread lightly ...

Shoot me a PM and we can talk more there ...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Whentapping the power button to come out of sleep instead of automatically going to the home pg it reboots?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
What bootloader are you on ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I'm using .10 bootloader. It has not done it again though so it must have been something I did. One diff I have noticed from Crombi-x is with Crombi-x I could plug the tab in to charge while not using it and when I unplugged it it would open to the home page. Now when I unplug it, it will buzz and vibrate twice but will not go to the home screen without a quick tap on the power button.
[Asus Transformer TF700] orangezero:
I think mine does the same thing, about 30% of the time. Occasionally, it just takes ten seconds or more to turn on. To get any real use out of my device I needed to change the display off to 30 minutes. I dont' use it a whole lot, but it took me a week or so to notice. It is still slow enough to be a huge hassle for most apps and internet even when I avoid google apps and keep as much fluff out as possible.

I haven't tried data2sd or roms2sd yet. Would a 64gb class 10 micro sd really be that much faster?

To answer your question, I am almost positive I used the bootloader listed on the first page as being required.

thanks for any help you can provide either of us.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
That really did not answer my question..... :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lasallegreen:
Thank you!

Finally made the jump from CROMI-X to CROMBi-KK. It really works well now with KK. I only installed it in the internal memory. I'm wondering if it will really be smoother if i use data2sd or rom2sd with this. thank you to all the developers of this ROM. Great job!
[Asus Transformer TF700] slybarman:
I have my wife's tf700t cromi-x and debating between cromi kk and cm11. Has anyone tried both lately and can offer and pluses / minuses?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
CROMBi-kk is optimised and enhanced cm11.

;)

Do you like vanilla or something a bit more tasty?
[Asus Transformer TF700] slybarman:
Not sure . . . but I suddenly have the urge for ice cream. Darn you.: silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Rocky Road would be good. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] slybarman:
I am sure this question is answered somewhere in this thread, but . . .

Can I flash Crombi KK right over top of Cromi-x?

Data loss?

Clean install advised?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Must do clean. Some have used tibu to back up app data, others do a clean install from play store. Thats up to you, but the rom must be preceeded by a factory wipe (via twrp, not the bootloader).

Sent from my rooted Galaxy S5.
[Asus Transformer TF700] slybarman:
Roger that. Thank you.

If I screw up my son's progress in dragonvale there will be hell to pay.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Skdi:
Keyboards

Hey has anyone else had problems with keyboards not fitting in the screen? Like multiple keyboards I cant access the settings/space/delete buttons. I tried changing the DPI and that didn't help much.

Also, what kernel works best with this rom? I am trying to find one that I can adjust the processor speed and governors

Edit:

Fixed the keyboard issue, just had to keep messing with the DPI settings in build.prop and have the DPI be less than the set DPI and rebooting a bunch of times.
[Asus Transformer TF700] slybarman:
To this end, has anybody figured a way to backup / restore data to/from a restricted user profile?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kenif1983:
My power button doesn't put tab into sleep, any options I'm missing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes - it's a bug with the dock - hit the volume up or down on the tab first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Lyvyoo:
Thank you,

1. Why the notification bar and the menu bar are hidden when I watch a tv chanel with sopcast (to reapear must tap the screen), but in Chrome full screen mode remains black? Without Xposed, without any tweak...

Sopcast full screen: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wn7p3kq6qzhtjvb/Screenshot_2014-07-27-18-22-00.png

2. Was a strange setting, activated by default in Accesibility menu/magnification gestures

And the last - With the menu buttons right under the space bar of the keyboard, I touched hundreds of times the Home button when I write something fast. Weird position...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Meneldur:
Well, this is odd.

I see both datai/data and sdcardi/sdcard pairs, but sdcardi is not writable even for root. It has only a hidden file. The other three work.

Using 0715 and data2sd only, _that10

Installed from clean slate after wiping everything.

Data2sd seems to work since tablet feels snappier than using internal memory.

[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Yes. I love it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I feel your pain, brother! I had to factory reset my daughter's tablet a few months ago and lost her 'hay day' farm that she built up. TiBu wouldn't restore it. It's the first time I've ever had a problem (besides trying to update apps between major android builds). I had my girl's tablets locked down pretty tight because they're little kids and trying to keep them on the reservation best I can... and the toddler solutions are too 'baby' and I didn't have their farms backed up with social media so she lost her progress... :crying:

After researching it, I found out that there's an option in TiBu that would have helped. If you go to preferences / Backup app external data - that should have saved it. IIRC, it has to do with that data / obb folder that wasn't getting backed up by default and that broke the user data on reinstall.

Good luck!

---

On another note. After much flashing / SD installs etc etc... I'm in a regular groove where the tab works well for a while, then progressively slows down and starts lagging something fierce. On my old phone, the samsung S3 - there was a windows app called Odin where you could do a bootloader reflash / format of the various partitions, that really was a true clean flash. I feel that's what I need on my tablet to get it running smoothly again.

Is the best we have a TWRP format data / wipe system / dalvik / cache etc? I don't believe that installing a rooted asus rom would do any better, do you think?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
You can also restore it from a nandroid.. TiBU can do that for the app/data, but the external files can be extracted as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I think this has more to do with your /data partition than anything system related.

"Lag over time" is pretty standard to Android. The longer you use your storage, the longer it takes for the memory controller to tell the system which blocks are free and which ones are in use.

You could run Lagfix on a regular basis (it runs fstrim on the disc) or you could test this:

Nandroid /data only, wipe /data, restore nandroid.

Mhhh - actually... fstrim supposedly is build into KitKat. Does anybody know if it is build into CM11?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Clearing cache in TWRP also seems to help this problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Mea culpa! I just broke into a cold sweat because I realized I posted this in the wrong thread.

OK - thanks gents. Forgot about fstrim - I'll try that and the cache. I noticed in the logcat from term emulator that I was seeing (IIRC) I/Choreographer: Skipped xxx frames! The application may be too much work on it's main thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Sorry to be slow....went on 10 day vacation.

The latest build (719) seems to have cured the touch problem with the changes in the Dev which were suggested. Haven't upgraded to the latest rom drop, yet.

Flawless. Thanks to all.

Lmm

Edit: Seems I'm ON the latest rom. (bleary-eyed trying to catch up!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] bitemeoftn:
I suggest getting CacheCleaner NG and nandroid manager. Nandroid manager can restore app data from your backup to get your daughter's game back and cache cleaner runs automatically every day on a schedule and really helps keep the speed up. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ryhaddi:
10/10

I can not believe that it took me so much time to move from the original build to this the CROMBI-KK build.

The device is completely different ! I am so impressed.

Thank you all !!!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Meneldur:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Meneldur:
Using CM File Explorer I can see sdcardi folder but the app won't enter, saying the folder need more privileges and try as root. The problem is I'm using the app as root... (?)

Where can I edit the mount options for sdcardi? Maybe changing the user (but root should enter anyway, it's root!) Is it OK the ‘fuse’ option?

[Asus Transformer TF700] letterman1981:
Hello,

I'm using Crombi-KK on my TF700. The tablet runs much smoother and I'm very happy with it. Allthough, I have two questions.

1. 3rd and 4th additional screens to the right get deleted from time to time, even though if those are full of apps and widgets. Is there any way to fix the screens, or sort them. I haven't figured out how to sort the screens yet. The screen to the left is an automatic forwarding to Google Now.

2. Screen mirroring with Chromecast doesn't work. In the official Chromecast App, there is no section to mirror the screen. I enabled the screen mirroring in the tablet menu, if that has anything to do with it?! Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
1. Which Launcher? Google Experience Launcher? Anyone else seen this?

2. Is a known issue that we don't have a fix for yet. It's broken in CM11.

Would appear you need to update you recovery and or bootloader ....

The error is for surely a recovery issue, but you better check your bootloader version as well

What version is your bootloader and recovery ?

Thx Josh

Doesn't trebuchet remove screens if there are no icons on them? Not sure what is happening but capture the exact example when it happens - what widgets and icons were on the screen and did it disappear after a reboot, etc.

PDA Net

Prior to this update, bluetooth tethering via FoxFi / Pdanet tablet worked fine. Since this update it doesn't work at all. The tab connects to the phone, but nothing else happens, and no apps can see a connection. Is there something else that I need to do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] apophus:
Google +

I am constantly bombarded that i need to uninstall reinstall google + it take me to the play store and my only option is open there is no uninstall option, and when i click open it crashes and says the same .

how can uninstall google + i have went into app manager, even downloaded app uninstaller and no luck

any help would be appreciated
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Did you choose it in the installer? Either use an app like titanium back up to remove it from the system partition or reinstall the rom but don't choose it this time ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Can you provide a logcat of the process please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jackk:
Anyone else experiencing big time lag? Very so very laggy this rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No just you.

More info about what and how you flashed please. And bootloader version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Maybe its because you tell people you have a TF300T but you're posting in a TF700T thread ?? :confused:

Lets get what tablet you have and which ROM you flashed, before posting like you did ... :laugh:

Wow cant even find the Q&A section... LOL ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] z3r0-c001:
Hi, just flashed the new Crombi-kk (19.07), was using Cromi-X for a while ...

After flashing I noticed that the icons are very (stock 240DPI) big ... altough I've selected the 213DPI in the AROMA installation ! (Small Medium Icons) the same I've used in CROMI-X...

Could you please tell me how to change the DPI? so I can use the 213!? Btw I've tried to use DPI changing apps as TexDroid DPI and none work!

Thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Make sure you turn off Large Icons .....

Long hold on home screen then swipe up from bottom then scroll down

and see if Lager Icons is on or off .... Let us know

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] z3r0-c001:
Yeah, that was the problem :) I'm new to KitKat... Thanks for the help ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No worries thats why were here... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
There is also a bug as I left the ROM locked at 240dpi in this version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] u50r:
Which is better, this or CROMI-X? I can't seem to find any sort of comparative review or testing, the benchmark shown on this thread and the cromi-x thread would suggest that cromi-x has almost doubt the performance of crombi-kk, is that accurate?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What do you want stable but slightly older JB 4.2.1 no longer updated? Or bleeding edge KK 4.4.4 with bugs, warts and the occasional crash?

Some say CROMBi-kk is faster than CROMi-X but I find them comparable these days......
[Asus Transformer TF700] u50r:
Honestly wasn't super impressed with Kit Kat (a bit lackluster IMHO) so I'm more about performance and stability. Just how unstable is CROMBI-KK? My wife uses the tablet a lot and gets very frustrated very quickly lol

Are there any bench marks comparing the two roms? As mentioned the OP shows images of benchmarks which suggest that CROMI-X is 2x faster then CROMBI-KK but not sure how representative that is of current versions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You have that the wrong way round ;)

CROMi-X benchmarks at around 7k when optimised.

CROMBi-kk benchmarks >9k with ART enabled but <7k with dalvik compiler.

They feel about the same to me - CROMi-X maybe slightly smoother?
[Asus Transformer TF700] u50r:
Oh, those screenshots should be taken down then as it shows CROMI-X getting close to 20k and CROMBI-KK around 9k.

Hmmm decisions, decisions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That is CROMi-X for the TF701 ;) This is the TF700 thread :)

On the TF701, CROMi-X is much faster than CROMBi-kk :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] u50r:
Ahh that makes sense, my mistake, I thought that score seemed a bit high lol

I guess I'll give CROMBI-X a go, wish more things supported ART, is CROMBI-X still receiving regular updates?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No such thing as CROMBi-X lol Maybe my next rom should be called that - to really mess people up! :D

Do you mean CROMBi-kk or CROMi-X? ;) If the later, no not really but then I have found no reason to update it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] u50r:
lol yea I meant CROMBI-KK, I keep typing CROMBI-X for some reason.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Yep, I've done the samething myself.:eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] u50r:
Hoping someone can reply quickly, I'm on the welcome screen of the CROMBI-KK installer, I downloaded the one for the TF700T but here it says I am installing the one for the TF300 prime. Then under devices it says Asus Transformer TF700T but under Model it says Asus Prime TF300T. Is this normal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Definitely not! But i am confused.... Where "under devices" do you see TF700 and where's the Model = TF300????

I would advise to stop right where you are and clear this up before doing anything else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] u50r:
So when you run the rom install from recovery the first screen after selecting the theme is the "Welcome" screen, it says the following:
