After posting it in the wrong section...

First of all a big thanks to the developers for this "LTS" of TF201 and TF300(T) ROMs where ASUS cancelled the updating process long ago.

But I've got a problem with the new release.(14-09-30).

I'm using a TF201 and made an Upgrade from the cm-11.0-20140716 Crombi-KK version. Dirty of course, only flashed the new one without formatting data partition. (Using TWRP 2.7.0.1) The first install of course was a clean one.

Previously I used the _thats Kernel and had some problems with the lock button after disconnecting the tablet from the dock and with enabling Bluetooth.

So this time I am using the Grimlock kernel, but now the system is a bit unstable, while the problems with the lock button and bluetooth disappeared.

Problems:

-Android.Process.System.UI stops sporadically. (Often when reactivating from lock)

-Android.Process stops sporadically (Which is odd because of the missing specific process name after "Process")

-In Nova Launcher I need to do a fresh reboot before I can change the background. Otherwise Nova Launcher crashes and leave me with a black background.

I will test if this also happens with _thats Kernel, but it seems that I am the only one with this problems (_thats and grimlock issues).

Another Question will you work on an Android 5 ROM for this devices after CM released their version?

Also want to say that the first mirror is "outdated" I think. Because you cannot download the full ROM from there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Yes sounds like a factory reset is your only option...

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
I would recommend a full wipe and reinstall of the rom, you had to see that coming :p

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bloodsaw90:
Argh, yes I had see this coming.... :(

Will be a lot work to get everything back to normal after the full wipe.... :crying:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] didier74:
Thanks for your answer, I wish I would not read this, but if there is no other solution.....no way to make a data backup to sdcard, or from Windows, or install your Rom in this situation please?

Thanks.

cache2sd

hi,

i have installed the rom yesterday, using your instructions it was easy as eating a kit-kat

also the upgrade from stock a stock rom was not an issue. I have seen that data2sd and rom2sd is included, but this needs a large SD card which is fast, that is just fine.

nevertheless I used for my stock image cache2sd which speeded things up enormously on my tf201 and only needed a small sd card. would it be possible to include this into the rom as well. I do not feel a need with this to exchange my sd card to a bigger one (also if they are cheap) but I do have a 64GB tf201 - already more space than actually needed.

Has anybody had any issues with Tasker? i cant get it to open.. ("Unfortunately, Tasker has stopped.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Tasker? What is tasker, I am going to need a bit more info then that.... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Yes I have fixed it in the next version. I also made a patch for it here:

Flash this from recovery ;)

DOWNLOAD TASKER FIX

BTW it is TASKER's fault. Google maps recently changed the way it handles location data and now tasker crashes as it can't find that method. My patch just puts back the old google method.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
O well there you go... I know nothing... :cyclops:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
You didn't ask. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FrozenPanda:
Wow, fastest fix ever lol. Yeah because the GPS on the TF201 is more or less useless, i don't even have maps installed.. i guess another fix is to install Maps but im sure the fix is more minimal than that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Tasker is looking for the google location framework file which is provided by a) the rom or b) google maps. Google removed it form their app in v* and I removed it from the rom as google removed it from the app ;)

The fix just puts it back in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FrozenPanda:
The patch works perfectly. Thanks a lot, great job.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lekzai:
You're welcome:)

There are some Bugs/Features I like to share.

-The Browser Key always forget the given setting

-The energy profiles with the kernel Geass don't work, I guess you're the wrong person to tell, but maybe you know the solution

-ASUS Firmware supports the function to disable the hardware keyboard in standby mode in order to save energy. i couldn't find it here

-call me crazy, but the x-axis of my touchpad is reversed when I scroll texts with two fingers: I have to scroll up, if I want to scroll down the text. It's very confusing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
That is how dual finger scrolling works. It is emulating screen scrolling where you move your finger up to scroll down. Makes perfect sense to me ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SimoneSessa:
Swap works on this rom?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Swap? No it's disabled. What do you need swap for? There is no swap partition in android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
I think there are apps out there, that will emulate it on your sdcard .....

But as this will free up ram, it will slow those caches down by 100 fold...

as ram is much faster then any sdcard :cyclops:

So I would have to say that there is going to be no gain by using such an app..

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Trekest:
I've had an insane amount of wakelocks on my device these past few days, I'm talking 3 wakelocks every minute, most of which were seemingly caused by Google Play Services.

After some digging I discovered that HD Widgets is desperately trying to get a location fix for its weather feature, killing it got the device back to sleep.

It seems that the Tasker fix which adds back the location framework puts it to rest; thus far it is sleeping like a little baby again (the metaphor, not the reality wherein he wakes every hour crying).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SimoneSessa:
Mh, thank you very much (again) :D

I like your rom :)

[MENTION=1784706]sdba[/MENTION]gs [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] reporting 4 hours Journey - forget dirty flash, all you get is like data partition wouln't be present/recognized by the ROM. All you/ROM does see are only system apps after install (but Google play service does see the other previously installed apps as installed - funny...

CLEAN INSTALL : choosing Grimkern kernel on internal Data f2fs leads to endless boot animation after init script and after restart it begins to bootloop (it reboots always after running initial "penquin script" complete) - tried twice to install...

That's /lj50036's/sdbags kernel is booting just fine everything seems real guick widgets on start are loaded in no time, everything seems to work just fine......

BUT for me (TF201, Dalvik, f2fs on internal, no OC) THERE IS STILL A BUG that's keeping me away from using this kernel - and that's picture twitching with software keyboard open.... Most noticeable in Tapatalk but its general - only with software keyboard open. ...

I'll try to explain :

It's like the keyboard would try to resize itself for a millisecond and that is causing whole picture to twitch /blink Sometimes you can almost see the "alternative transparent frame" above the keyboard... Sorry for no having logcat... Going away for few days today and I need the slate up and running.. So I restored my best combination - 2014/04/04 Crombi kk version with Hardslog's Grimkern 2.4...

[MENTION=1784706]sdba[/MENTION]gs [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] Okay, finally in free time I've tried all 4 kernels included in latest Crombi kk ROM installer for TF201 f2fs on internal data partition. All except that's kernel ended in endless bootscreen or bootloop. Flashing Grimkern 2.4 f2fs for TF201 worked to boot in ROM at least. Don't know if the problem is in my slate or in ROM installation or in kernel modification.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
I think it's because we are trying to use 4.4.3 for a TF201 from TF300 source. lj50036 is working on a seperate 201 device tree.

Still loving it!

Thanks again guys.

Hello,

This firmware works great. Nice work!! TF201 has a new life. Thanks.

But is there a chance to force GPS dongle (external kit) to works? When it is connected nothing has happened.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Hey there lj50036 - I found the correct forum!

I made it to roughly page 30 before throwing up my hands. My employer would surely like me to get SOME work today.

Does the 9/30/14 version of the installer include the F2FS version of the Grimrock (or any other) kernel?

I will still flash the F2FS Geass TWRP 2.7 that I downloaded before anything else.

Thanks for all your help today!

I would get the official TWRP from twrp here .... http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-tf300t.blob

You need to have the HairyBean bootloader to install this TWRP ....

The ROM has AROMA installer if you do not know what this is, you will find out :D

It will let you pick every option along the way, when installing the ROM ....

Let us know if there is anything we can help with along the way. ...

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Oh, man.... I don't have adb at home. I was hoping to flash THIS twrp from the previous twrp, then reboot and do the rest. Otherwise I have to truck the whole rig into work tomorrow.

I do have the hairybean BL, to the best of my knowledge. It's on my list of things to doublecheck. (Or I might be bringing it all in tomorrow anyway.)

I know that I've got a big hairy wookiiee staring at me from the current TWRP, in any case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
AWESOME!

Went in easy-peasy, and I fastboot-flashed TWRP 2.8.1.

One thing I have noted (with the bundled _that kernel) is that it will scream along for a bit, and then just STOP. The whole thing freezes up. The rotating circle on the charging indicator stops, is my most confirming symptom there.

Since I have fsync enabled, I have resisted the urge to hard-reboot it, which turned out to be good BECAUSE it would eventually return and be fine for a bit (anywhere from 5-10 minutes). But it's a recurring thing, and it's awfully annoying.

MY ASSUMPTION AND QUESTION:

Since I have f2fs enabled, and fsync off, I assume that it's buffering data writes while I'm downloading all sorts of crap from google play while simultaneously doing a TiBu restore *and* terminal "cat" to get a single tarball out of my previous TWRP data backup files. Yes, I'm keeping it busy.

And then eventually the buffering has to say "ENOUGH DAMMIT!" and just put everything on hold while it writes it all.

At which point, the buffering commences again and I get my tablet back.

Q: Does that seem a reasonable diagnosis, or is this a known problem with _that, or... (c, fill in the blank?)

I have the grimrock V4 kernel poised and ready to install just in case. Heck, I might do it anyway.

Thanks for this fantastic work, btw. It really has breathed new life into an old platform.

(Also: Any word on sdbags' wife?)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itzamistry:
I flashed this ROM and my device is a lot faster but my WiFi download speed is 2 mb/s while on my phone its 50 mb/s...any explanation. Please help me!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Klajcor:
Great work, although some problems.

First of all I want to thank devs for this wonderful rom. It is rapid fast and I can't recognize that I'm using the same tablet. Performance in browser on many tabs open... come on on stock rom after two, three tabs it was sluggish as hell, now it is completely different story.

But...

I noticed two issues, and since I am complete noob in customization and flashing I would like to ask for help and advice what should I do now.

1st. Boot lasts minimum 5 minutes, launcher needs another minute to complete UI. As far as I remember it was much more faster on stock rom.

2nd. Yesterday was first day that I didn't used my tablet more than usual after flashing (when I upgraded it I was playing around and searching for bugs and performance issues). Today morning I wanted to wake up my tablet. Pressed power button and waited like 3 seconds for a lockscreen. I started to turn on applications (system Ui was extremely slow, but application and browser fast as usual on this rom) I thought it needs time, I opened PVSTAR to play some music to coffee and started to prepare breakfast. After some time I wanted to check how the system works now. Power button... and nothing. Sleep of death. Had to reset.

It was first time it happened but Im worried and ask devs for help.

I am on default kernel "....this", I didn't turn on f2fs, data2sd and rom2sd since as I told before I just needed stable , fast rom. That's why I've chosen yours :)

Waiting for any help and once more thank you for wonderful work with this rom!

Cheers;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
What bootloader are you on ?

DId you do a full wipe before installing our rom ?

Did you do restore your apps ?

Can you pull a logcat of the boot ?

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Klajcor:
Wow, that was rapid!

So, I am still on hairybean bootloader from the guide, after full wipe. I did not restore my apps, I decided to wipe everything and install only things that I really need and use.

My logcat:

Can't upload file, can't write it in spoiler because it's to long, can't post links. Should I PM you?

Thank you!

Edit:

Okay this line is showing in log all the time, I searched it in google and in other threads they say that it has smth to do with kernel. Even for noob like me it is obvious that it can generate problems, am I right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hardslog:
What is your locale? What kernel did you flash? Do you remember what speeds you had before this rom?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Emanuelefulco:
In the future we will have Android lollipop with this rom??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Sure a PM is ok with me ...

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
I have had this problem from the get-go. (The slowness and pauses, that is.)

I have tried with _that's kernel, geass v7 and grimlock v4. Using f2fs but not the other two partition mods.

It's pretty brutal at times.

Speaking of f2fs, does the data partition include /sdcard as well? I've wondering about using mkfs.f2fs to format it and maybe sdcard1 too.

Thanks,

Rob
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 8000hd:
I went thru the step:

Now under the install tab in TWRP fine the folder and flash it....

reboot once it has fishined..If ask to install SuperUser say NO..........

LET THE BLUE BAR FILL !!!!!!!!! Once it has finished it will reboot into Hairybean TWRP....

Once booted into recovery, run this command to boot into fastboot

Everything was fine but when i try to: adb reboot-bootloader

I got error: device not found

So I cant boot to Android anymore, cant ADB. But can go to Androwook Prime and to the screen withtout the usb logo.

Anything I can try?

EDIT: I had to push the install of the ADB driver once again. My Windows 7 really struggle with this driver! I'm now waiting for the TF201 to format.

EDIT2: Thank you very much lj50036 i'm now on Kitkat!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iceman3kco:
Has anyone experienced TWRP asking for a password after pushing twrp_tf201t.blob? Because of that I can not access the files on my SDCard to install.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
If TWRP is asking for a password and you did not set one. Bad things are afoot...

What is your bootloader version ?

I was following the OP. I had the modded hairybean TWRP but when I tried installing the ROM it was booting to a screen with 4 linux penguins then rebooting back to recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
So is twrp asking for a password or no ?

What version of TWRP do you have installed ?

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iceman3kco:
Yes TWRP is asking for a password. It is the TWRP included in the OP. v2.6.3.0
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
OK that version of the TWRP is the one for a 201 on a 201 bootloader ...

You are not on a 201 bootloader anymore so you need to do this part of the guide....

Now lets flash [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION] TWRP recovery

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery ne0zone75_tf300t.blob

That is what need to happen ....

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iceman3kco:
Thank you! That did it. The ROM is booting now. I guess I should have continued even further but the password thing hung me up. Thank you again! Will be flashing the ASUS apps next.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avrahqedivra:
Great job guys... My TF201 got a second life!

Hi everybody,

I've spent quite a while yesterday upgrading my TF201...

I managed to follow line by line the upgrade procedure in quote #4...

And beside a little problem with twrp that brought up the "ask password" problem (fixed by reflashing another twrp2.5), everything went smoothly.

I noticed a little glitch though... When using the table, I can notice from time to time (10 or 20s) a flicker, a kind of vibration of the current screen....

During the setup I kept checked the hardware acceleration... I wonder if the problem comes from there....

Any clue ?

jmc

ps : You did a great job!

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

Yes, I did, I had to push another twrp (version 2.5 I think) and everything went back to normal

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
If I want to do f2fs + DATA2SD, is that possible?

And as an upgrade, maybe? Moving the data from internal to the new SD partition?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
Im running data2sd with f2fs, but on build of 11 aug 2014.

And i'm not flashing anything else; this is totally stable and fast as hell!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
That's good to know!

How did you get your SD card formatted to f2fs though?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
first format your card as stated in op.

then in twrp through terminal, use mkfs.f2fs to convert the data partition to f2fs:

mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

then flash rom ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Awesome! I did not know I could do that. Thanks!

I'll also try to come up with a plan to transfer my settings and data from the original data folder to the new one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
You are not the only one having this flickering /twitching /blinking issue. If you will focus on it, you'll realize, that it'll occure with virtual keyboard open... Only solution is to choose stock CM11 kernel. That's(lj's/sbdags's) grimlock, are causing this... No idea why, but tested with those kernels on different rom and the behaviour was the same....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
Okay - THIS was interesting.

After getting it all set up with DATA2SD and ROM2SD, I ran quadrant standard and my score actually dropped.

By over HALF.

To below a "stock" TF201.

Like, 9200 to 4200.

It's a "SanDisk 64GB Ultra Class 10 Micro SDXC up to 48MB/s with Adapter (SDSDQUAN-064G-G4A) [Newest Version]".

So I went back to DATA-NOT-2-SD for now.

Any thoughts on that one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
What sdcard are you using?

You need one with good random write/read speeds. (class 10 only says something about sequential read/write speed)

I have good results on sandisk mobile ultra and samsung class10 cards.

Also, are you using the same rom version to test the speed?

Beware that disabling f-sync has huge effects (fake effect) on sdcard benchmarks, ive seen f-sync switching on and off over the different crombi versions.

Also , try androbench for your sdcard benchmarks. Great tool!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
I linked to it - it's a Sandisk "Ultra" but not a "mobile Ultra."

Will try androbench - it's exactly the same ROM, I use "load settings" and page through, just turning on/off the DATA2SD option.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rprussell:
So this is interesting...

I thought I might do a copy of the internal /data to the DATA2SD data while still in TWRP, and this is what's happened. (see hopefully attached logcat - I had to chop 250K off the end to get it to upload, but it seemed to be looping anyway.)

My MO was to ADB SHELL into the thing while in TWRP, then

copy copy copy copy (~15 gig of stuff)

Fix permissions. Clear cache/dalvik. Reboot.

It sat at the ring-o-CM11-fire for a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg time (yes, more than 10 minutes, easy) and I eventually hard-reset it to get the logcat.

I'm not UNsavvy with respect to linux and android, but I'm clearly missing SOMETHING.

Nah, nevermind. I just rewiped the whole darned thing and went from scratch.

I'll restore from TiBu and maybe copy over the /data/media/0 files, but otherwise... I'm good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aerohoff:
Can you help a dummy out?

I posted the following on the Hairybean thread and they sent me here.

I then proceeded to despair for a month thinking it's hopeless. Can you guys help bring me back from the dead?

It boots into TWRP v2.6.3.0 and asks for a password. When I try to boot into fastboot (vol down + power) I get TWRP. And ADB seems to work.

I'd like to get CROMBi-kk running from the internal flash. No more SD card for now.

Thanks!
