OK. If hardslogs app brought you up to 1700 from 1500 then its seeing a performance mode value. If preinit.cfg says mhz_performance=1800 then 'somewhere else' in boot folder there must be a file that contains a value mhz_performance=1700. 'Should be' in the preinit.d folder
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If the script that reads preinit.cfg and writes the values to sysfs is not there, you won't see any effect from the settings in preinit.cfg. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That means you did not install a _that kernel..... The other kernels can't use the various clock speeds so they drop to what ever is set within in them which will either be 1500 / 1700 or 1500 / 1800 depending upon how the kernel builder has set them up.

Ahhh, But I did install _that kernel. Selection screen for kernal then I had the screen that listed 1500 for balanced, 1800 for performance and OC enabled. All three selections were on the same screen.. :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
What files do you have in /system/boot/preinit.d ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] PolishPoet:
30fstab-f2fs and 20detect-microsd.

Only those two.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
odd... unzip this and copy the file to preinit.d folder. Reboot and make sure your system_mode flag is set to zero.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah I remember now. Zombi doesn't use profiles. So I removed the other files (I think) as not needed. Hmmmm I'll double check tomorrow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
So I tried coming up from Crombi tonight. I went ahead and wiped everything but system. I flashed the new twrp, flash the rom and then the asus apps. When it boots up, I'm spammed by settings has stopped and then a bluetooth share has stopped. Is this a case where I have to format data?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
NO don't flash asus apps (first anyway)

Flash the rom and let it settle.

Everyone gets the BT error on a clean install btw. Just happens the first time for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Make sure you are flashing zombix Asus apps. They are not on the op.

The problem is that V1.94 is listed in the post #2. Changing links to v2.0 would be a good idea.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
WOOPS. I totally messed up my post. I meant to say I'm coming up from Cromi, not Crombi (which is why I updated the recovery). I see the ASUS apps thread where it says the zombi version is coming soon. My bad. Let me wipe everything again and just flash Zombi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
I will add the zombix Asus apps the the op of my thread, and make a crombi version of 2.0 soon. I have not had time recently.

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

1.9.4 and 2.0 are meant to both be out at the same time. 2.0 does not replace 1.9.4 it is just zenui apps instead of 4.3 apps on 1.9.4
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
There's a link to the thread in the CROMBi-kk thread Post #2, but in this thread's Post #2 there's a direct link to v1.94 which is not the right version for ZOMBi-x and is causing issues . . . :cyclops:

[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I've been running zombi-x b7with data2sd on f2fs for about 3 weeks as my daily driver. Subjective Observations:

1. Snappy - The screen draws where the app doesn't have to fetch the content are quicker than crombi-kk.

2. Browser response is about the same

3. Heat is lower for simple things like painting a browser page.

4. Heat higher for streaming through Netflix

5. SSH using juicessh seems more immediate, like being on a laptop

6. Spontaneous reboots are about the same. If I am impatient and press back, home, or show running apps too often, it will either restart the launcher or just reboot. It seems to toss a coin on which.

7. It seems to tolerate xposed running just greenify better.

8. The omniswitch feature has been a nice-to-have and has a natural feel.

9. I played with the active display. It seems to duplicate omniswitch.

10. I just had trouble with the typing response freezing. It could be the android architecture or tapatalk. My impression is that any time there is prolonged keyboard (soft (any) and Bluetooth (Logitech)) activity it is going to go down in some debilitating way.

I love it all in all. I know that you guys (yes, I'm an american of a certain age) don't have clones, but ... What might we see in zombi-x b8?

Thx!
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Thank you Kansas. I would love to know when a Zombi link is up. To me, ASUS apps are what make my 201/300/700 feel like home. They stand out compared to other things and I love my task manager, battery widget, etc. I've always felt they are what makes an ASUS tab feel different from others

So one thing I wonder if people know. Does Apex no longer have the category tabs up top where I could hop directly to the widgets section without paging through past all the apps?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Thanks for the detailed response.

In B8 you can expect a few goodies such as:

Fixed bluetooth

Fixed dock keys not working with Grimlock kernel

much more stable floating windows (won't close all the time AND they won't disappear from omniswitch when minimizing them)

Better dock battery support. - you won't have the battery meter in the status bar, but the OS will recognize it better, and apps can communicate with it (such has dual battery widget)
[Asus Transformer TF700] WillyRy:
I noticed the same thing. Looks like it's Apex.

To make it how you want, Apex settings - drawer settings - tab:drawer tab
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Probably not. Data2sd improves write speeds during normal operations (if the card is faster than internal eemc) - which shouldn't make a difference on video playback in the first place, I think...

With rom2sd you move /system to the microSD in addition to data - which also probably will do nothing for video playback.

If you are streaming video/TV, maybe you should look at your router....
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
That was it Willy. Thank you very much. I have my labels back for quick skipping.

For those with OC issues, my CPU Master pro is saying mine is properly at 1800 for my max range and my low is 51. Is 51 a stable enough low? I picked the that kernel when flashing. When I had my rezound, I know some people said that when it was set too low, it would often get unstable and reboot.

Also, how is the battery drain on this device if google now is on? Since my recent flashings, I've left it off but I was wondering if it makes a major battery impact to have it on.

I had crombi-kk working just fine, but then noticed Zombi and its promise of multi-window and all that. So... tonight I've wiped, Zombi'd, and all seems good so far. Ran it rather hard re web tools and my book reader (Moon Reader plus - doing scanning).

I am hoping for updates and those Asus apps for Zombi. But one mustn't be too greedy.... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] PolishPoet:
Asus apps for zombi-x are available in a separate post in this area
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
If you mean the 1.94 version of Asus Apps by Kansasboy (?sp?) in the OP, it is for Crombi-KK. I've noted that some folks say it can be installed (minus the settings) into Zombi. But I also noted someone here -- I thought -- saying the Zombix version had been posted somewhere. I went through this entire thread and found nothing, though.... so assume there is no zombi-x specific version yet. Correct? If I'm wrong and there is a Zombix version, please give me a URL? ;) And yes, I did also find Kansasboy's thread on Crombi-Zombi Asus Apps.... it had the promise of Zombi apps coming... but no link there as of yet. Help?

To sb and others who've worked on this. I think you have produced perhaps the best rom for the TF series that I've seen. I've had a 100, 201, 300 and a 700. It's a fantastic rom and very snappy. Looking fwd to trying the ASUS apps for Zombi. You've out done yourselves on this one.

Stuck in bootloop can't boot recovery

I'm in trouble tried to dirty flash Zombi-X to internal with Crombi-kk R3 with patch 2 _thats 10. running on internal.

I updated TWRP to 2.8.0.1 no problems.

I wiped delvik and cache then flashed Zombi-X b7 but i chose Hartzog kernel with thats 10 already on internal (may have caused the bootloop)

The Zomb-X animation stayed on for about 30 minutes so I rebooted to Recovery and did a full wipe and re-flashed Zomb-X but chose thats 10 kernel.

Went into another bootloop so I tried to reboot to Recovery but it stops on "teamwin" logo screen.

I can't even shut down the tab no mater how long I hold down the power button.

I can boot to fastboot and my PC (Win 8) will see the tab; running Adb does see the tab when the "teamwin" logo is on it list the device as "recovery".

Don't know what to do from here, I do have Zombi-X Rom2sd on my mirco SD card but can't get that to boot!

Stuck looking at the teamwin logo with tab plugged in.

Please help
[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
10.6.1.14.10 I was able to fastboot TWRP 2.8.0.1 and can boot to recovery. But it will not restore my nandroid backup.

Should I format DATA and try to flash the ROM? It will not wipe. Will not format DATA unable to mount 'system' or 'data' both have 0mb

I added output from adb shell ls -l dev/block/mmc*

If that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That's not the output, it's a screenshot of the output. But it helps - it shows that the recovery kernel didn't detect any partitions. I've had this effect when I started the recovery directly after fastboot flashing it. Power off the tablet (Reboot -> Power off) and start TWRP again using the volume keys and choosing RCK.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
I have re-booted to twrp still Will not mount data or system or cache .

shows 0 mb in each . If I try to use mount in twrp it won't let me check the box. I need a way to format system from recovery or fastboot.

OK I am back running - after many flashing of TWRPs finally got ver 2.6 to wipe system - that put mmcblt0p8 back in /dev/block so I could format /data with TWRP. The I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 formatted /data to f2fs - that let me restore my nandroid backup!

BUT my first question is still was it the dirty flash from Crombi-kk to Zombi-X that caused the problem or installing a different kernel?

Rom2sd restore to internal?

I'm back to running Crombi-kk f2fs on internal with Zombi-X Rom2sd.

Is there a way to do a nandroid backup of Zombi-X Rom2sd then restore it to internal?

Should I flash Zombi-X to internal first or could I just restore over Crombi-kk?

I'm assuming Rom2sd.zip could be used but don't know the sequence.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Yes. Never had a problem using ART.

5-10m for 140ish apps. Never seen it get stuck optimizing an app for ART.

Yes, very good experience overall.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I don't think you can restore the full nandroid from an rom2sd installation to internal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the ramdisk is different....??

But you can backup external /data in recovery, then flash ZOMBi-X to internal, then restore /data. That should give you an almost identical installation.

So the sequence would be:

Flash rom2sd1.zip in recovery

Backup /data

Flash rom2sd1.zip again or just reboot to recovery

Optional: Make a nandroid of your CROMBi-KK installation

Do a full factory wipe in TWRP.

Flash ZOMBi-X to internal.

Boot into TWRP and restore /data
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I ended up having to use adb to flash the stock firmware. It rebuilt my partitions. Then I flashed tarp followed by crombi-x. Then I followed the instructions to get to zombi-x. Data2sd seems to work best for me.

The smart guys may have a better path.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
OK, so that I have this right......

I'm running Zombi-X Rom2sd, boot to recovery - flash Rom2sd.zip - stay in recovery.

backup /Data - stay in recovery.

flash Rom2sd.zip - stay in recovery (already have nandroid of KK)

Full wipe - stay in recovery.

Flash Zombi-X to internal - setup Google account, don't restore any apps.

Boot recovery and restore /Data (where will I find the backup, ext SD or internal SD?) - reboot system.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks for the help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That will work yes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
Just some feedback to say that I'm very impressed with the rom. Seems quicker than crombi-kk (both internal f2fs), but I have also tried grimlock rather than _that and not using GEL launcher. So not a straight comparison. Only issue I have found is wallpaper setting fails a lot. No crashes or reboots yet. Not sure if I'm getting 1.8ghz due to benchmark scores but actually using the tab is very quick.

I'll stick with it to see what else I find.

Edit. Antutu CPU reports 1800mhz so must be fine there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
I agree, I'm using Zombi-X Rom2sd plus Crombi-KK R3 internal and Zombi-X is definitely smoother and quicker, but the wallpaper issue is still there.

I'm using Nova free and can't change wallpaper at all and in portrait mode the stock one turns dark red - no picture. But the improvements are worth it IMHO.

I'm going to flash Zombi-X to internal today, thanks to some good advice here, and check the difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
There's something goofy going on with the texture size being applied to the wallpaper. I always run a null black wallpaper for speed and cleanliness as wallpapers are only pretty when I'm not running an app and if I'm not running an app then the tablet is turned off. Pointless.. Still see errors in logs for it with no wallpaper but haven't figured out what's causing it in the code.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Is this an issue with zombi or crombi or both ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Zombi for certain. Haven't had Crombi installed in almost 2 months. Had another log saved where it had two similar errors with texture size exceeding 2048 close to each other but with different numbers on both but think I deleted it. The one log I had still saved shows these two errors which repeat when desktop is redisplayed after closing an app.

09-10 21:47:07.280 E/ImageWallpaperGL(604): requested texture size 2739x1826 exceeds the support maximum of 2048x2048

09-10 21:47:07.380 E/GLConsumer(146): [com.android.systemui.ImageWallpaper] bindTextureImage: error binding external texture image 0x5eead12d: 0x502

I always make my background null black using an 800x600 image. Desktop always limited to a single screen when using Nova. No background scrolling enabled.

Edit: As I look into this again I see similar errors in the logs a variety of different ROMs including CM based ones. Maybe related to a problem in AOSP in general?

Okay, I'm still sitting at the juggling balls boot animation now after 15 mins. Is it safe to say it's boot looping? I have not being able to install this ROM after starting with with beta 5? Guess it's time to go back to Crombi-KK.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
That's too long. Pulling a logcat from PC would say for certain if its looping. I clean flashed every beta and never had an issue with Zombi booting until the first time I built it. That boot failure was a mounting mistake on my part though.

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I'm a bit confused here... it appears some of the same folks are doing two different roms for the same tablet (the TF700t). Both are good... but one is more finished. The unfinished one (Zombi-X) seems a bit faster, and oddly has a more recent version of the Asus Apps than does the more finished one (Crombi-KK).

Is there one of these that's the future more than the other? Is Crombi-KK about done, and Zombi-X that future? Or is Zombi-X actually older in some way (Crombi-X vs Crombi-KK)?

I've probably publically made myself look the idiot, but I am confused.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mikew29:
Crombi is based on cyanogen mod. Zombie is based on omnirrom. Two different bases give different results. Cm is a more mature build base than omni.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Gotcha. Thanks. Just did some reading on the two branches. Really liked how Zombi-X ran on my TF700t -- very, very snappy. Crombi-KK is far better than stock, but a bit slower than Zombi. I guess I'd better quit playing around and stick w/ Crombi. For now, anyway. I hope Zombi hasn't been forgotten, however. Will check back now and again....

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:

32GB card reading fine... I'm backing up my 64gb now. It's formatted as exFat, while the 32 is FAT32. I may try a reformat and see if that's the culprit...
