Haven't bothered with rom2sd so all on internal. Simply run the commands in a terminal after "su" for superuser rights.

I agree. Long lags after wifi turned off for a while, but after catching up with syncing etc, all returns to normal. So mostly I leave wifi on and TF700 connected to power. :)

Great logging but that normally happens when you are not on the latest bootloader - are you on the 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader?

*sigh* Tablet unusable due to terrible lag again. Time to wipe and reinstall.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DonRichie:
Thank you for your answer.

I unlocked the bootloader a long time ago and then I never touched the Bootloader again.

Maybe this is the solution.

Currently searching for a tutorial on how to update.

Can somebody tell me how I can check my bootloader version and update it if necessary so that Crombi-kk works?

The search wasn't as easy as I thought

I downloaded the Asus firmware blob which (as I understand it) contains the whole everything, inclusive android and the bootloader.

The way I update it would be:

1. Flash blob via fastboot

2. Unlock Android

3. Flash TWRP

4. Install custom Rom via TWRP

Am I right? What would be the fastboot command?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Enter the bootloader menu by holding down Volume-down while powering on. Read the text in the upper left corner. If the build number is older than 10.6.1.14.x, find the bootloader+TWRP package by sbdags and install it. You may need to update your TWRP again after that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DonRichie:
Damn,

i was sure it does not show up this obviously.

My version is 10.4.4.20

Okay I search for his bootloader bundles now
[Asus Transformer TF700] DonRichie:
Hello, here I want to present how I made it work:

1. Started into the bootloader with pressing "On/Off + Volume Down"

2. I saw I had an old Bootloader Version (10.4.4.20)

3. Downloaded the TWRP+Bootloader bundle from the Cromni-x thread

4. Flashed the bundle via TWRP

5. After that I updated TWRP again to the newest version

The source of the newest TWRP blob was:

teamw.in

Projects->TWRP->2.0

6. Installed Cromni-kk

7. Installed Cromni-kk Patch

Very big thank you for your help

Can somebody edit the Crombi-kk thread and add a check for the bootloader Version?

When you see lags on your device, please check your available physical memory and report back. I suspect that the lack of memory causing the lags on the kk roms..:)

Update: for someone would like to improve multitasking on tf700, you could try to use noop or sio scheduler with interactive governor instead of row scheduler. It seems to work on my case, good luck...

dolphin browser with flash

First I would like thank the people that have taken time out of their lives to work on these roms. They are a lifesaver for this tablet.

I have been having trouble playing flash within the dolphin browser.

I have been sure to go into the settings and ensure that flash is enabled.

example: when I go to a website like twitch I get a message that tells me that I need adobe flash to watch this video

It was my understanding that the dolphin browser that is installed when flashing the rom includes the flash.

Thanks in advance to clearing this up for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bluebirch:
Undoubtedly. I try to clear up as much memory as possible by greenifying just about everything and closing all other applications, but lag seem inevitable. LagFix helps a little.

Then, again, I'm most annoyed when playing RealRacing 3, which is a real memory hog in itself...
[Asus Transformer TF700] DonRichie:
Okay,

I also got a pain in the ass slow Crombi-kk.

Will flash Zombi-X now and give a feedback here when I know more

Okay on the first try, after I installed all my apps I can confirm the speed of the Zombi-X is faster.

Is it a long time solution?

I don't know, but the lags are nearly gone and the tablet is more usable for me.

cannot install R1 20140921

Hi All,

I am new having only started searching when my tf700 became very slow. I went through all the forum and installed the 20140719 version and it works fine. Installed on internal with all the defaults. Did this in August.

I want to move uo to the R1, but every time i try the flash fails and it reports it cannot open the zip file.

I have downloaded the file several times from the forum link. I have TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed. Do i need to update this?

Has anyone else had this? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks very much to the team for developing these ROM's. You have saved countless tablets.

Can't read ebooks

Hy guys.

After some trouble with flashing the rom (now it's ok, thanks to lj50036), I'm having some trouble to read ebooks. As you can see on the image (link here - https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=441B6F0FAA56D6B0!9989) , all ebooks, on al kinds of readers, cut some part of the text. Specially on the rigth side of the screen (red mark on image). I've tried all different resolution during flashing the room, but the problem persist. Anyone has an idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Insanely long boot times?

I just recently switched from CROMi-x to the latest version of CROMBi-kk. Mostly I like it, but it has locked up a few times on me. When it does, I can only reboot it to get it back up. This wouldn't be a major issue, except that it takes nearly 4 minutes for it to restart and get back to the lock screen (plus a little more of lagging as it starts all the services, etc). It does the same thing even with a clean shutdown (non-crash). Is there any way to speed up this boot process? When I installed, I used TWRP 2.8 and did a full wipe, then just used the suggested defaults for the install process.

My current versions are:

CROMI ROMS version: 11.0-20140921-crombi-kk-tf700t

Android version: 4.4.4

Did you apply the patch?

The longer boot times should only be for the first time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] techturtle:
I had a long boot time the first time, but it was definitely still doing it. I rebooted about 6 times this morning and timed a few of them to make sure it wasn't just a "watched pot" situation.

I had not applied the patch when I asked. I didn't notice it in the original instructions, though I have found it now. There aren't any notes on the dev page about how to apply it, so for anyone who finds this, you just need to install it with TWRP like you would with a new ROM. The patch seems to have worked. My boot time is now right around a minute. Slower than my PCs take to boot (love my SSDs!) but it's an acceptable amount of time. Something crashed the first time I did a full reboot, but it has successfully rebooted several times now at around 55-70 seconds each time.

Thanks for the tip!

SD vs. MicroSD

Hey all,

Since SD cards come up here quite often with the different install options for the ROM, I thought this might be the place to ask this.

What is the difference between a MicroSD card and a regular SD card? Yeah, I know that one is physically bigger(I can't believe how many times I've heard some jackass reply with that), but I see them being the same class and have the same capacity. Are the regular SD cards more reliable or something? If the Micro ones are exactly the same, I would think they would start actively phasing the bigger ones out.

Anyway, I should be buying a new SD card soon, and since I have the dock, I can use full sized cards, just wondering why I would use one type over the other.

Thanks...
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
The quick answer is that many devices come with only a micro-sd slot. The TF700's micro-sd slot in the tablet and sd-slot in the dock are unusual. I can't speak to the history of the respective cards' development, but the obvious (to me) way to look at it is that if you own a TF700 and want to ROM2SD1 it, you need the micro-sd. If you just want storage, either will do.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
MicroSD cards are smaller. :p

Regular size SD cards *may* be more reliable, be faster, have more storage capacity, or be cheaper. Also, they are harder to inhale accidentally. :silly:

Why more reliable? Because they might use MLC instead of TLC.

Why faster? Because the controller might be larger and more sophisticated, or they may have more flash units in parallel.

Why more storage? More space for flash chips.

Why cheaper? Extreme miniaturization can be costly.

Note that you will easily find microSD cards that are better than some full size SD cards in all these aspects. But for example you won't find a 512 GB microSD card like the currently biggest Sandisk Extreme Pro, or a microSD card with 250 MB/s write speed like the currently fastest Sandisk Extreme Pro.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Thanks guys, that cleared it up enough. I know we'll have some thresholds the larger cards can handle. Other than that, they seem mostly the same.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Question...

Has anyone successfully activated ART w/ Crombi-KK? My tf700 hung on reboot when I tried it. (ART works nicely for me when using Zombi-X.) I haven't installed the patch2 for Crombi-KK R1, but would rather not do that, since ckkr1 runs red hot and crash free on mine in normal usage. If that patch allows ART, however, I might have to reconsider.

Hmmm... back again, to report that no, ART isn't going to happen for me. Not with Crombi-KK. However, somehow while messing around I ended up with fully functional calendar app in the Asus Apps 2.0. (Actually, it is a fully functional Asus "What's Next" app working (this is odd) with Google's Calendar. It isn't supposed to... hehehehe.

Thanks.

hello everyone, I've been a tf700 owner for awhile now and have been interested in trying out different roms and what not and finally after much reading and searching have decided to take the plunge and make things happen.....I have successfully unlocked and rooted my tab and also installed twrp 2.8 without a hitch. Now when I download the crombi kk zip and save it to the internal drive I am able to boot up to twrp and install it per the directions and am told it was installed successfully. But after my system reboots my tab boots up to the ring of fire but stops there - it has been on this screen for over 25 minutes. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Help, cannot mount internal data after a failed format action

Hi,

Trying to provide some assistance to a friend who purchased my TF700.

Tablet was running cromi-kk with WTRP 2.6.3-that3.

He wanted to do a clean install as was suffering lag and used the format command from TWRP.

He assured me that he left it running for an hour but nothing happening rebooted the device then.

Since that reboot, here are the messages displayed:

e: could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer

e: unable to mount /data

e: unable to recreate data/media folder

updating partition details...

e: unable to mount /data

..

unable to mount internal storage

e: unable to mount /data/media during gui setup

full SELinux support is present

e: unable to mount /data/media/twrp/.twrps when trying to read settings file

Update Recovery and Custom ROM

Hi All,

been away a couple days and finally got back to this. I got TWRP 2.8.0.1 installed via fastboot. It claimed flash successful and after the blue bar it went to the TWRP home screen and not show no data, no sdcard, no internal, no external. all the functions in TWRP seem to work be cannot mount any partion nor change storage. the restore shows no backups although at least 3 are available. If I go to reboot it say NO Os is available so I have not rebooted.

any suggestion appreciated.

Update Recovery and Custom ROM

Thanks very much for the reply.

No I did not wipe as I was not flashing the ROM only the TWRP to update to 2.8.0.1. I have not rebooted after the recovery flash. I thought I could then flash the new ROM but as I said there is no data showing. the TWRP reports 0 MB internal, 0 MB extenral, and if under file manager it show no files in any location. Under Mount it shows nothing mounted, under restore there are no files available, under install when you go to select a zip file there are none showing.

I cannot flash the ROM as there is no file to select.

I have not rebooted the tablet because TWRP say no Os is available.

All I have done is flash the TWRP 2.8.0.1 blob file using fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob in the command line. It showed the following in the terminal window:

sending 'recovery' 7024 kb

OKAY 2,843 s

writing recovery . . .

OKAY 8.439 s

finished total time 11.28 s

I will also add that now I cannot see the device under fastboot, however, under adb device command I do see :

List of devices attached

0123456789ABCDEF recovery

Don't panic, that happens when you start the recovery directly after fastboot. Power off, then restart TWRP and it should work.

twrp install and update to crombi-kk R1

Many thanks _That, I was thinking I would have a long struggle to get it working. I followed your instruction and all is well with the recovery now on TWRP 2.8.0.1.

Unfortunately when I try to flash the R1 version of Crombi-kk 20140921 the same result as under the old 2.6.3 recovery where it says "unable to open zip file". I have cut and pasted the last bit of the recovery log but it only has one line that says it is not able to determine end od central directory in zip file end.

Hopefully this may mean something. If the entire log would be useful I can send but the lines previous to the attached seem to only be showing the backup of every file as i did a backup before trying the flash

F2FS

Quick question on F2FS

I formatted internal to F2FS and did a clean install of R1 but it hung forever on the boot animation.

I did F2FS to all in TWRP /system, /cache and /data. So did I do this wrong? Should it be ext4 on /system and /cache and F2FS on /data.

I have reverted back to ext4 on all and awaiting to flash R1 when I get home tonight. Also, backed up the system before doing this so have that as well.

Thanks for any advice.
