Just a question about Data2SD. I'm used to using Datasync from the play store to back up app data and it doesn't work properly now, i'm guessing because i chose data2sd at install. Is there any way to fix this without wiping and reinstalling?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
What does it do? What errors does it give?

All apps should work fine as your /data partition is now pointed at your mmcblk1p2 partition - the software will neither know nor care about that .......

Hi guys, don't know, what exactly happened (some Google update? - Google search was updated today.... ) , but since few days (since today? ) Google location services are working again... ?? (I'm on the 4.4.2 build from 5/2014) Just FYI...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
All being updated now ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
Hi. Can someone tell me more about this ROM. Bugs?, Overclock Ferquency CPU&GPU, tweaks,...? Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Prack:
I personally haven't had any bugs. I'm using data2sd with a 64gb sandisk card. ROM is fast and stable, glad to have my gaming tablet back :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
Haha. One more question. CPU&GPU max. overclock MHz??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Prack:
The install uses Aroma UI, you have several kernels to select from. I'm able to OC CPU/GPU but I don't remember what I have it set to ATM. Either way it's fast as hell and there is currently no better 4.4.4 ROM :)

EDIT: I'm on the Grimlock Kernel with data2sd/journal

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Just thought of one other thing, the stock kernel did NOT work with my tablet. Caused bad artifacts due to the GPU being set higher than the tf201 can handle. I switched to grimlock at that point and haven't had any issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
But if you are using the latest 4.4.4,than your camera can't be functional - or did I missed something?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Prack:
I'd have to check when I get home, thought my camera was working, but to be honest I don't take pictures with my prime, it's my gaming tablet. I have like 40 other android devices to take pictures with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Me neither, just saying... Since 4.4.3 camera on TF201 isn't working (driver issue I think, sdbags would tell you more)...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lord_alias:
I have to admit this tablet is quite the piece of kit, just what I I wanted :3 I keep experiencing restarts after 40 minutes of use but I think I am getting to the bottom of things, does the likes of ROM2SD and DATA2SD imporove performance at all? was going to give it a try tomorrow and have a look?

Primed and Ready
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
By me restarts were caused by too high CPU clock... By setting the highest frequency to 1500 MHz they've disappeared
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lord_alias:
Right I have lowered the clock speed to 1.5GHz so im going to see how it performs, should not be much of a performance degradation :) thanks for the tip :3

Hi everyone,

My friend is still on stock rom, and has big problems using wifi and bluetooth in the same time. She looses wifi connection very often.

Would flashing this rom solve the problem please?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Didier
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
This is a fault of the asus hardware I'm afraid. There are many threads about it.

I doubt it has been fixed..... but you could always flash the rom to try?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] didier74:
Yes I was thrilled to receive that answer.

Thank you anyway, have a nice day.

I've been a Hairbean user for quite a while, happy with the prime and just getting on with things.. Then I drift to XDA and find this!! :)

So.. I've upgraded my TWRP to the F2FS version, this sounds very interesting.. I've then flashed the ROM with the GEASS Kernel, is this the right one? It wasn't 100% clear? Should it have been no kernel and then flash something else?

Current sat at a boot screen for about 5/10mins, not a lot happening..

With F2FS is there much improvement in using DATA2SD? I've got a class 10 card, but honestly never used it for anything other than extra space..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Kernels included in last Crombi kk ROM are made for TF300, for TF201 they ended mostly in bootloop... Flash Hardslog's Grimkern 2.4 f2fs for TF201 afterwards. But be aware of non functional camera(in case of TF201) with newest 4.4.4 version of Crombi... With older May 4.4.2 everything is working ok.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] huskerkate:
What is this 4.4.4 you speak of?? I'm on the 6/17 build from the Mirror 2 link in the download post, but it is 4.4.3 - am I missing a newer build??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sjrixon:
Agreed..

The download is for 4.4.3. I picked the first kernel, the f2fs on the next screen and I'm in business..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Sry, I meant 4.4.3 (confused by my Nexus 5 ?)...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterv6:
I think I've bricked mine!:(

I get to the screen with 4 pingvins and a text saying " preinit starting" everytime I reboot?

I can get into TWRP but the screen is very unsensitve and responds badly?

Anything I can do or can I throw it away?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Which bootloader are you on?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterv6:
I had androwook rom installed but don't know which bootloader.

I did install the TWRP from here before I tried to install this rom.

I can't turn the pad off either, if I do it reboots back to the pingvins screen!?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
You have to be on the androwook 2.31 bootloader which should give you 10.6.1.27.1

Any lower bootloader number and you will have problems.

Next we need to know exactly which TWRP you have installed.

Which kernel and options did you choose? It's not bricked but it may take some work to get you back up and running.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterv6:
I first used this: Upgrade Hairybean 2.31

Then i used this: TWRP-TF300T-2_7_0_1 (1)

then this: cm-11.0-20140512-crombi-kk-tf300t

I'm not sure what options I choose when I installed the first time when it got stuck on start up screen saying in big letters "CROMBI-KK". After an hour of waiting i went back to TWRP and tried again. Did a full wipe and this happened.

At a certain point when there is a lot of text on the screen it says something like "can't find backup"?

I have been stupid as I didn't make a back up.

It went well when I went from stock rom to androwook but not now.

I'm very grateful that you try and help me try to fix my tf201 even though I've been so stupid!:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lord_alias:
I had the same problem when following the guide, I installed the hairybean recovery but forgot to downgrade again as instructed in the install guide and I was stuck in a bootloop for a while, Installing the downgraded recovery and installing again fixed the issue? It could be something completely different though?

Primed and Ready
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterv6:
Which is the downgraded recovery and where can I get it?

As my touchscreen responses badly and when I push on the screen it sometimes shows i pushed somewhere else on the screen, I'm afraid I wiped or formated something I shouldn't! have?

But I will happely try everything you guy's suggest if I(we) can get it running with Crombi-KK!:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterv6:
I couldn't turn it off yesterday so I let it drain til now!

I gave it another shot and the screens respons was back! I installed the rom and it works!:)

I'm a happy bunny!:D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scote:
Installed today at last. Didnt know that only geass kernel supports f2fs surely thats the point of this rom with the crappy flash that the tf201 has. F2fs and geass kernel should be the default and the f2fs option should be on a page before the kernel selection in aroma so you dont have to scroll to see it and inappropriate kernels are excluded once you choose f2fs.

Anyway this is flying now a new lease if life for my prime which I'd given up on. Good work!

I am wondering if rom2sd on a good card is even faster? Might explore that soon after this one has settled in and I have a good feel for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
All kernels available in installer are f2fs capable. Installer automatically chooses f2fs version of the kernel if you've decided and already formated for f2fs... AFAIK...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Yes it auto detects on all the kernels. :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scote:
What I did not realize is that you need a special recovery that uses mkfs.f2fs when you wipe data for it to actually work.

When I tried the other kernels before with the f2fs option in aroma I just got encryption unsuccessful. Geass was the only one that booted, albeit with a ext4 /data.

I used geass twrp 2.7 f2fs version and it worked.

1st I made a tar backup of /data to my ext sd

then installed the special twrp

rebooted to android

rebooted to recovery

installed another geass kernel with f2fs support (this step may not be necessary)

rebooted to android

rebooted to recovery and wipe data, observe that it used f2fs

went to terminal command in recovery and extracted my backup of /data

rebooted to android and now my /data is f2fs

I also tried to convert /cache to f2fs by manually using mkfs.f2fs in terminal command but tht was not successful - wouldn't boot.

Would this require a change to the 2 fstab.cardu files? would it need just the type field changing or some of the mount options too?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sarkie:
Thank you, after waiting ages to finally put a custom rom on, did it on Saturday with this Rom, it seems the best, but only just noticed it supports F2FS so thank you, and many thanks to [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION]

I just installed the default to see if it worked as I didn't know if I'd got the custom bootloader installed as I was expecting a different boot screen or something in the top left.

Is there a guide for the "Perfect" install to get my prime working as best as it can?

Is the GPS being worked on or just no one cares since it is so bad?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scote:
I know the prime suffers from a gradually detoriating speeds and more lag as time goes on after you install a custom rom, thats why I wanted f2fs in the hope that this may alleviate the problem. If it does not I will be exploring the rom2sd option, but so far so good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hardslog:
I do not suggest ever trying this. There is more that needs to be done other than just formatting a partition to f2fs (as you mentioned the fstab files) but the benefits to this would be negligible. Plus f2fs is not as 'stable' as EXT4 and could increase the risk of corruption. Your best bet to make this tablet as snappy as possible would be to have a screaming fast microsd card and then run data2sd with /data formatted as f2fs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scote:
Thanks, I wont bother messing with /cache then.

I have a sandisk uhs1 64gb card which I may try data2sd on. As I understand it its random writes that perform very badly on the prime so /system can stay as is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vanquishe:
I have tried to read all the postings several times over but cannot come to a conclusion.

Is there a combination that will allow f2fs but still have a working camera?

If so whcih version of wat should be flashed. I hope someone has the answer before i try silly stuffs.

Thank you and sorry for being noob.

Click on link CROMBi-kk Current Release Full Mirror 1 and download cm-11.0-20140512-crombi-kk-tf300t.zip. Before that you should install TWRP 2.7.0.1 that supports F2FS.

I have it on my TF201 and camera works. Only problem I found is that it stops recording video at 10 minutes.

Flashed TWRP 2.7 for F2FS, rebooted to android then

Flashed GEASS v7-f2fs for F2FS, rebooted ,went into recovery

says "2.7.0.0-Geass" as mentioned.

wipre -> format data....,said it was formating with mkfs.f2fs.

Done (the process only took a few minutes)

reboot, enter recovery again and install crombikk 0512 ver

chose the following option: do no flash kernel, internal f2fs, external ext

everything else default options... completed with no errors reboot

After the crombikk animated boot screen, it keeps getting to

"encryption unsucessful"

Any kind soul willing to help me figure out what I did wrong?...please
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Flash the geass kernel after flashing the rom ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vanquishe:
Thank you for the advice. I got past the "encryption unsuccessful" screen and I am running Crombikk 0512ver now.

I think I made two mistake yesterday during my trial:

1. I flashed the file "boot.blob" from Geass_Public7.zip instead of the one found in F2FS-Geass_Public7.zip

2. I flashed with wrong fastboot parameters

Wrong: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery boot.blob

Correct: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.blob

Hope the info above can help someone else.

Too bad the camera is not working:

Rear camera = green & camera app crash

Front camera seems ok.

I also installed trickstar mod to set max cpu to 1500.

Tf201 is usable again! Thank you to the team for making this happen!

Like several, Im waiting for the possibilty of camera fix ^^

Is your bluetooth broken too, I have Geass f2fs kernel and bluetooth, I heard mention of a _that kernel that is f2fs specific was going to try it but I cant find it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vanquishe:
I do not use bluetooth at all. If there is a way to check without a blue tooth device, let me know and I will test it for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scote:
mine doesn't turn on at all - no need for a device to check this

edit: scratch that, I reinstalled crombi-kk only wiping cache and dalvik and selected _that kernel bt works and so does f2fs and all my data is still there.

f2fs auto detection works fine for /data

The installer changed a bit from a few days ago.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vanquishe:
Does your camera work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Just FYI - don't be surprised if your camera doesn't work - known ( driver related) issue with TF201 and the new installer and kernels meant for TF300. Second thing is _that's kernel caused at my Transformer Prime picture artifacts - GPU clock is set too high (as it's meant for TF300)and in his kernel thers's no way, how to change it. So IMHO the best combination is hardslog 's Grimkern 2.4 f2fs flashed separately after rom install and lowering GPU clock limit via Trickster mod.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hardslog:
I appreciate the kind words, but I didn't do anything? :silly:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
I may have found a way to drop the GPU speed for the 201 with _that's help :good:

I'm going to build a 4.4.4 test version that lj50036 will confirm on his prime :) Fingers crossed!

Camera is still busted though - we have tried absolutely everything - I think the camera will be lost for good now - google changed some stuff in 4.4.3 I think and we just can't get it back...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Prack:
Possible to dirty flash with data2sd or is full format required?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Prack:
Rock on, any chance this ROM can get a built in updater or a link to the downloads from settings? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Nope :p

Don't like updaters - I don't trust them. I'd much rather have users flash it from TWRP - less to go wrong and I don't have to support bricked devices as the OTA updater went wrong ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scote:
Err no,

It was working this morning when I was using F2FS_Geass_Public_7.zip kernel.

So now I have BT but no camera, dont really use the camera, use the phone for that. BT more important to me.

Thats not to say I wouldn't reflash if there was a known combo where wifi/bt/cam all work
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
No the camera will most likely not work again, sorry for the bad news :crying:

The solution to this is to run ROM2SD with CROMI-X on internal.....

The 201 is getting long in the tooth a bit :D

I would like to keep supporting it, but all these new changes are not making it easy ....

Androwook versus CROMBI-kk?

Thought I might give this a try out on my TF201. How does it compare to Androwook 2.31?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] feyerbrand:
Update 24 hours later after running the new version.

1 - The new equalizer app is amazing, added some serious quality to the speaker on the tablet. I used Play music for about 2 hours and forgot I didn't have it plugged into my external speaker.

2 - It was a bit laggy with the Google Now Launcher, so I got greenify going and used the developer options tweaks at 0.5 and things seem to be rolling a lot better.

3 - Okay Google Everywhere still doesn't listen to the training sound. I am sure I am dumb and missing something, but not quite sure yet still working on it.

4- Immerseve desktop mode, perfect. I love having that in the power menu.

5- I found a few screen tears when OCd to 1800 but only on Hangouts. I lowered it and saw it a few times but I am sure that is because I chose to have the higher clocking speed.

6 - I love the developers of this ROM. You both are amazing, and even SD Bags going through the trials and struggles is seriously on the ball betwixt family struggles. I am proud to say I run this ROM on my device!

Calling [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] - not sure if we could do this as I compile from our source and then mangle it with Aroma? Then upload to a unique id.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hardslog:
I don't think this is one that can be done due to the nature of this being an Aroma rom which gives users choices of what they want and do not want to install. Having an OTA will likely break that functionality, break your rom or both. Besides, this isn't a nightly anyway and theoretically you could just download the updates directly on your tablet using a browser too :D:laugh:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
Personally, I don't really see a problem with the way it is now. Generally speaking its faster to download the zip file on my PC anyway and then just copy it to my micro sd to flash it. The only thing that's a bit confusing is that you have to know to look at the "Mirror 2" link rather than Mirror 1 which takes you to old versions. My recommendation would be to just get rid of mirror 1 if it isn't going to be kept up to date.

Trying to install Grim?

Successfully upgraded my TF201 from Androwook 2.31 to Crombi-kk (cm-11.0-20140716-crombi-kk-tf300t_signed) with the Geass recovery (F2FS-TWRP2.7-Geass-1) and kernel (F2FS-Geass_Public_7)

BUT when I tried to install the Grim kernel (GRIMKERN_KitKat_TF201_2.2-RC.zip) I get into a loop that won't let me go past the encryption unsuccessful point (even after rebooting and reformatting as directed).

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Yes I think there are some issues with that kernel...

Try this one mate ...

GRIMLOCK - Version 2.0
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Grimkern Kitkat 2.2 is not meant for f2fs. If U wanna flash Grimkern than GrimKern_KitKat_2.4_f2fs. You just flashed non f2fs kernel to f2fs prepared slate. That's why....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Revhead:
Which one?

Overclock or non-overclock for TF201?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hardslog:
This is the newest one that does not have overclocking for the TF201 yet. Stay tuned for that!

This is correct. This is the overclocking version for f2fs

Grimlock kernel 2.0 is the Crombi preferred Grimlock kernel as it is up to date with crombi. It does not have overclocking as of yet for the Prime. Well, it sorta does because theoretically it will clock all 4 cores at 1.4GHZ instead of stock that clocks 1 core at 1.4 and 4 cores at 1.3. I know it is confusing but 2.0 is newer than the 2.4f2fs version as I have changed how i make the kernel and started again from 1.0 when I joined the awesome CROMBI team.
