Here is my experience of late in the hopes it will be helpful to someone.

I went back to Zombi because Crombi was just a mess with the crashes. Zombi has overall been good except for the other day when one of my games all of the sudden kept crashing when I would get into it. I also just got a used Galaxy s4 and noticed that there were times when the battery drained ridiculously fast. The third bit of seemingly unrelated info was that when I got my used Asus 700 they guy who sold it to me included a 64 gig micro sd card. I thought I had really scored. I have noticed though that the card didn't always work well with whatever phone or tablet I put it in. the latest thing I had put it in was my s4. So I took it out and immediately the battery started acting right. I also took out the 16 gig card I had in my tablet and ever since my game works fine as does everything else. I don't know if all this is related but it seems more than a coincidence. I wonder if some of my problems with Crombi kk was because that 64 gig card is too much for it?

Saw a reddit post saying that the latest chrome beta actually fixes the problem of window mode for custom ROMs. Its kinda cool that Google is fixing it because it's having problems with custom Roms usually it's up to the modders to fix the bug. Can't verify it though as I kinda like the window mode so I'm not going to update yet.

No updates for 6-7 weeks ?

I am going to make you feel really bad ......

Dags has had his deal to deal with .....

If you dont know about said deal then to bad ....

There may never be another beta for 4.4.4 we have been working on 5.0.0 ...... :)

Strange Zombi behavior

[MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION]

I've been running Zombi as Rom2Sd for a month or so, very pleased. Smooth & fast.

In the past week I've notice a strange happening: while in Sleep, the screen will suddenly display what appears to be a Lock Screen, but different than normal (font is different and characters are all white on black). Disappears in a couple of seconds without attention. Will occur randomly a couple of times an hour. Happens whether unit is charging or not. Since wifi is supposedly disconnected during sleep, I can't imagine what's causing this.

Any Idea?

Chromi-x Internal, Zombi as Rom2SD, nothing exotic.

Thanks for a wonderful Rom, can't wait for 5.x

HI good day everyone,

is it have any ways to bring back the chinese input in ZOMBi-X rom? TQVM.

Good Luck to your wife and your family!

[Asus Transformer TF700] keshavmot2:
My device has been running perfectly for the last few weeks, but now when I try to boot (Data2SD) it keeps going up the point where the 4 penguins show up, then reboots, and never stops this cycle. When I try to flash Data2SD zip in TWRP, it freezes at updating partition details. Is there any way to recover files on my F2FS partition on the SD card, or even better, get my device to boot up?

Thanks a lot for all the help you guys have provided me,

I know this post is OT but... when my nephew was 16 years old he were diagnosed with cancer (embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma) deep inside his head. After several operations and very hard times he is still alive - 18 years old and "cancer-free". It was a very hard time but every second was worth to fight for. Be strong and confident and all my best wishes to you and your wife and the rest of your family! Fingers crossed...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Thanks, Guys...

Now I need to find out what it's intended for?
[Asus Transformer TF700] keshavmot2:
I think a format might make it boot, but I have some really important files on the F2FS partition of the sdcard. I need these files for a very important meeting in an hour...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Turn off your device if you can and remove your external SD with a reboot or before your device is booting again. After it boots into your internal SD, you can insert your external SD back into your device to access to your first partition/your media on your external SD for your important files. Good lucks....:fingers-crossed:

I think it wakes up the screen whenever you get a notification and displays it briefly

[Asus Transformer TF700] dilfred:
Hi guys, just a quick one.

I have noticed that when I press NEXT or PREVIOUS on the keyboard (and my wireless headset) that it writes it incorrectly in the top left notification bar:

EG

Press next on keyboard "Media PREVIOUS" or press previous "Media NEXT"

But the action has correctly gone to next or previous song, so that works fine.

I have checked this with my Bluetooth wireless headset also SBH-20 and that also gets an incorrect report in the notification log. I use Rocket Player to listen to music if that has any impact?

Not a biggie really, just thought i'd point it out.

I was going to post this in the bug section, but that has nothing in, so was rather sceptical of posting there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I went to download it and it said I had to wait for you to give me permission. This is different than before, is this right? Because I don't have permission to download 2.1 yet, thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Try to download now
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Would be very interested if anyone else successfully installs Asus Apps 2.1 on Zombi-X (or Crombi-KK for that matter). I spent a number of hours tonight trying to install it and had no luck whatever once I installed the framework. Endless bootloop. Definitely Nandroid your system before you mess w/ AA2.1, because it sure makes reinstalling easy. ;)

And thanks to Kansasboy1. I'm hoping my experience was an anomaly and that others have success. Again, if you do, please spread the news how you got it.

Blessings.

Please discuss Asus apps in my thread, also it works fine for crombi, I will lookin to the zombi problem tonight.

1) In omni switch, long press any recents or favourites then you will see a menu pop up and an option to "float view". also you can lunch floating windows by long pressing on the app's notification screen.

As for teminal Emulator crashing we would need a logcat for that.

Having a few issues with root at the moment. What I would suggest for now is to flash supersu in TWRP:

My series of events:

Yesterday - backup crombi-kk installation

Factory reset

Install Zombi-x Beta 5 (Internal install with stock kernel) - no root access (sbdags confirms problem with Omni stock kernel)

Today - find that Beta 6 is released with CM11 stock kernel (yay!...I thought)

Wipe cache and dalvik

Install Zombi-x Beta 6 (internal install with CM11 stock kernel) - still no root access (OK, maybe I need to factory reset)

Factory reset

Re-install Beta 6 (internal install with CM11 stock kernel) - Still no root access (probably still a problem with stock kernels....weird, never had an issue before Zombi)

Factory reset

Re-re-install Beta 6 (Internal install...this time with Grimlok kernel) - Still No root access.

Factory reset

Restore Crombi-kk backup (for now). I'll come back for brainz...I mean Zombi in the near future!

Recovery: TWRP 2.7

i downloaded beta 6 and copied to SD and deleted beta 5. in TWRP beta 6 is not there and beta 5 still is. remounting on PC and see the same thing. beta 5 is back and beta 6 is gone.

even did an MD5 of the beta 6 file on the SD . . . time for a reformat, i guess :crying:

or maybe it was telling me to wait for beta 7? :eek:

I do know that at least a couple (calendar and clock) don't play nicely with ART. I'm about to install Zombi, though, so I'll give 1.94 an whirl after and see if anything breaks (Without ART, since it is in a league of its own).

C-ROM for my S III was based upon Omni as well, but it used the FOSS superuser and su binary.

[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
The current Asus apps are from android 4.2 and mostly 4.3, so they will not be art compatible. If I can ever figure out how to port the java class Asus apps 2.0 will be art compatible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I am not sure if it was installing the asus apps or not but while everything is working fine, I am unable to add an event in any calendar app. This happened before but I can't remember how we were told to fix it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
That does have to do with Asus apps. Somehow, the calendars cannot sync correctly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Yes, I went back and found my old post on this and saw that I needed to delete data from all Google apps and accounts and then reboot. that didn't work this time, I had to reflash the ROM. I also at that time tried to install the asus framework and nav bar apps but that didn't work and so I had to just reflash Zombi and all is fine now, thanks

[Asus Transformer TF700] Meneldur:
Hi, guys.

I started using OMNI Kang yesterday after coming from CROMi-X. I'm experiencing a severe lag in settings or tick boxes and a lackluster network transfer speed. When installing an app, Play stays for 10-20 secs showing "downloading", then starts doing it on 8 KB chunks every 1-2 secs. After more than a minute the speed increases to an "acceptable" window of 100-200 KBps.

How can I troubleshoot this?

TF700 using DATA2SD and Grimlock kernel. Wiped everything when coming from last ROM (started all clean).
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
And your bootloader version is .......?

"Started all clean" means what exactly?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Meneldur:
Bootloader 10.6.1.14.10-20130801

Formatted data, system, dalvik, cache, internal storage, microSD.

TWRP 2.6.3.that3
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Your recovery is pretty outdated. Flash TWRP 2.8.1.0 and reflash the rom
[Asus Transformer TF700] Meneldur:
Done.

Network throughput still subpar and no deep sleep over 7 h, only 51 MHz slowest frequency.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Did you install, then let the rom have a while to do its own downloading and settling in? A "virgin" install almost always is a bit lumpy time wise. But once things have settled, it is quite fast. If you invest in a micro-sd card, however, you will be blown away at how smooth and quick things are. Just sayin'.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
So are you saying developement has basically stopped now for ZOMBi and CROMi ?

No more tweeks ... we are maxed out ?

Darn ... I was hoping for a little more lolipop ...

My instals of ZOMBi / OMNI are good, but CROMi still runs smoother. Oh well.

iN.4.LiFE

[Asus Transformer TF700] Drag8n:
I've experienced the same, followed the instructions to the letter. But CROMi works way more smoother! I'm really bothered by the lag in this version. Lost my nandroid backup while making a bootable sdcard, hoping that installing the rom to an sd would make it faster. Dit not work for me, so starting from scratch lol! Long live CROMi xD

Thank you developers for all the trouble! You guys are the best!
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Interesting others find chrombi smoother. I find zombie much smoother overall... Both ROMs behave less than perfectly with browsers but for me chrombi locks up at times while zombie just minimizes the browser at random moments. Edge to zombie.

I got the Samsung galaxy tab pro 12.2, but really i only did because of size. I really wish it didnt have so much bloatware. There isnt much ROM development yet for it either. I would recommend a nexus tab unless large size is a requirement. We use the tablet mainly for tabletop style gaming like ticket to ride, so size is a huge benefit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I have to have a tablet with a external storage slot and preferably a quad-core processor. :)

We all hate to admit it, but with this tablet, we got duped. We thought we bought something great because of the specs, but what we didn't and wouldn't know until too late, is that the tablet has a major i/o issue. It cant be fixed via software, either. My dad has the stock locked version, and it is not any better.

Thanks for the tablet recommendations. A new tablet will be a last resort. I would love some input on the rom comparisons and the issue of why lag seems to be an issue with android. Where are my teachers?

Thanks. I prefer to stay on internal only. Thats not to say that I will never try it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
If you really want to fix the i/o issue you will need to buy a fast micro ad like a SanDisk extreme pro or Samsung pro. There is no other fix, unless you take apart your tablet, de soder the memory modules and install better ones, but good luck with that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
Thanks. That explains the i/o problem. Great to learn .

Any input on the lag issue in android?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
With zombi or crombi on external I do not have any more lag than any other Android device with cyanogenmod or omni.
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
You guys are talking me into trying external, which i'll probably do once I get a good card, but I want to understand why lag seems to be a problem with android and why it can't be eliminated. Thanks.

Which system seems to be the fastest and most stable? I like zombi, but have read about cromi x being better.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That's why Samsung developed f2fs... It is highly technical and above my paygrade, but you can start here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS

and then continue by googling "snowball effect of wandering trees and high cleaning overhead" on NAND memory. Have fun :D

There is no answer to that question. Depends how you use your tablet, what for, which setup you choose, what you consider to be "lag".

You're asking: What's the best apple out there?

Answer: depends on what you like. Sweet or sour, green or red, crispy or soft......
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
Thanks for the info. Not looking for an apple-far from it, but I wanted suggestions on a good android replacement, although that is a last resort. Was just wondering why my son's ipad air was so much snappier than android. I think I found an answer that satisfies my curiosity. Here is some partial info from an article that I found.

Most modern Android phones have specs that are equivalent or even better than the iPhone’s (for example, most Android phones ship with 1GB of RAM, compared to the iPhone 4S’s 512MB); the problem isn’t hardware. So what’s the issue?

Here’s why Android can’t render its touch UI without lagging, according to Munn. In iOS, UI rendering processes occur with dedicated threads in real-time priority, halting other processes and focusing all attention on rendering the UI. . In other words, every time you touch your finger to your iPhone’s display, the OS literally goes crazy: “Someone’s touching us! Someone’s touching us! Stop everything else you’re doing, someone’s touching us!”

In Android, though, UI rendering processes occur along with the main thread with normal priority. In other words, it treats rendering the UI the same way as it would, say, downloading a podcast in the background, checking for SMSes, or anything else. Hence, a choppy UI.

So why hasn’t Google just changed the UI framework? Well, it’s a daunting task that would involve every app on Android Market to be rewritten to support the new framework. That’s at least a year away, and may never happen.

In other words, for Google to ever fully deal with Android’s lag problems, it needs to basically hit the reset button and destroy its app ecosystem.

Any other explanations are welcome.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Haha, it is a very good finds but it is a very generic explanations and a lot more things happening causing lags. These are a few that coming cross my head.

1. The Priority of the OS is higher than the UI rendering ( your explanations above)

2. Default setting for the 5 threads counts before kicking into the second CPU. Technically, you are running only one CPU most of the time unless there are more than 5 threads and you need a least 14 threads to run all 4 CPUs.

3. Default setting for UI rendering as CPUs rendering. You may want to switch to GPU rendering

4. Your default scheduler as ROW (Read Over Write) which is set a very high priority on Read than Write (Sync than Async)

5. Your Stepping Up Frequency is very a small increment so it takes forever to reach a desired frequency to do the work that you want

6. Your Go to Max Freq Load is setting too high so it can not go to max frequency unless you are overloaded it

7. Your delayed time "Go to Max Freq" is too long so it takes awhile to switch to that Max Freq

8. Rendering is required a lot of RAM and you may not have enough available RAM for a big graphical rendering

9. Latency issue because of many tasks are set for your schedulers

Oh well, it is all that I have in my mind ATM and it is only my two cents. It could be totally wrong so please don't kill me....:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yeah, and I wonder when that article was written....

My HTC M8 runs circles around my GF's iPhone5 and I don't have lag and stuttering on the TF701 either...

After reading hundreds of pages on the crombi and zombi threads (started on page 1 of crombi and got to 245 before making the leap from cromi to crombi), a recurring theme was problems with people setting up their external cards. I'm on zombi now. I like it more than crombi. Just wanted to keep things simple. Looks like i'm going external soon. I ordered a sandisk extreme pro 64gb today. Won't get it til December 29. Can you give me an idea on how this improves speed and lag?

[Asus Transformer TF700] esoxx:
If and when you decide to go external, skip ext4 and go straight to f2fs. I am amazed at the difference. I'm currently running Zombi-X on data2sd/f2fs and it's the smoothest this tablet has ever been. It's still a tf700, so it's not as snappy as a new nexus device, but it's very usable now. I'm using a Samsung Pro 32G sd card after having issues with a Sandisk card. The Sandisk was flaky and wouldn't mount every time. Others say they do just fine with the Sandisk cards.
