Apparently I did, because I just saw that I thanked the OP last week. ;) But I haven't done anything with it yet - too lazy and too busy with TWRP.

Hey, y'all... no guarantees, but I installed these versions of the upcoming Lollipop apps into my Zombi-X and (with a little tweaking) got them all working. I did have to delete manually my original Google Calendar, music, and one or two more of the older apps from system/apps to clear the way for the new ones. And I had to reboot before I was allowed to install the Lollipop calendar. The apps (Calendar and Fit in particular for me) are very nice.

Yes, it is mobilism, but these are legal downloads.

cool. did you copy to system and change permissions or just install like regular APK?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I'm lowbrow.... just ran the install normal. Maybe that accounts for the resistance I got initially in installing the calendar and (I think) music.

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Ran into a very small settings tweak that can cause (in some apps) big problems. Under Display>Fonts if you choose "large" instead of "normal"... you'll break Words with Friends. Especially the good version (which is the older one, as the new words with friends insists on portrait mode w/ no landscape!?). I also had some issues with a desktop widget... again, the larger font. What's most embarrassing about this is how long it took me to figure out what had changed to suddenly cause these problems.

So... would be nice on any Zombi-X remix to possibly address that problem? Unless it extends to all Android, which would make it more zynga's (words with friends) problem, I guess.

Best standby on a KitKat ROM yet :) Latest Zombi-X build,
[Asus Transformer TF700] hks1234:
Which kernel u r using? My standby time is unfortunately very poor.
[Asus Transformer TF700] z3r0-c001:
I'm using _that's kernel, on internal, clocked at 1.5ghz (couldn't make it work at 1.8ghz), BUT I'm also using the dock on the tablet :)

Ps. Have to say that Zombi-X is definitely the best Rom for this tablet! Can't wait to see new releases or maybe a Lollipop build by [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] =)
[Asus Transformer TF700] magicalan:
I have a question that somebody probably has asked before but I cant find it anywhere..I have installed different roms but never sucessfully changed the kernel. I want to have a snappy rom just like the ones that I see on the galaxy s4..for example..and the closets i have gotten it its with this rom but never to where I can see that its not slow. it takes its time on some areas and it doesnt act smooth. might i be doing something wrong?

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Techpenguin5:
This is an issue plaggued on all Roms for this device, its due to the hardware. Not much can be done to improve it. Slight improvements can be made here and there to make it less noticeable, but you can never truly rid it of the lag.

Perhaps we will get better performance in Lollipop.

Messing w/ preinit file.. which on ROM2SD1 isn't there!

Below, I've pasted one of a string of posts having to do with CPU speed under Zombi-X failing to increase to its max 1800. I run Zombi-X off my micro-SD card via ROM2SD1. And apparently (I'm guessing?!) when the tablet boots it must initially read my tablet's internal boot dir instead of the external (micro-sd) one? I say this because the only fix mentioned for this odd problem is a hack to some files which are on the internal /system/boot dir but are not on the external /system/boot dir.... the only thing in my external /system dir is a single dir called /ramdisk. And that doesn't have the files, either, that I can find.

Oh, and the internal tab is formatted to run Crombi-KK.

I just want my tab to max out at 1800. Clues? Rotten fruit? General mockery? A lollipop?! :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
When you set the CPU sipped in Zombie X did you remember to save it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Correct, the preinit files are always on internal /system/boot because there is also the script that detects the ROM installation on the MicroSD card and switches to it.

So you should be able to get overclocking by installing the clockspeed preinit script in your internal /system/boot/preinit.d. Don't forget to set "execute" permissions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
(edit - insert of this first paragraph) I did try all your solutions, and either because I botched it or because I'd mucked about at one point with SuperSU Pro, I got nothing. Still the low speed ceilings. I looked at the files and edited them as instructed, and checked execute permission (which were already set properly). Hmmm. SO... then this:

Well, this led to a radical solution that I'm very, very happy with... namely, I went for rom2data, something I'd not yet tried. Wow. More space freed up than rom2sd1 and -- anecdotal rather than hard numbers here -- it seems as fast and buttery as I've ever seen this tablet. And yes, the 1800 issue is in my rearview mirror. ;)

The _that kernel, of course. Hehehe.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 3rdamention:
Ok, this is a dumb question. In the instructions, it says:

"You must do a full wipe in recovery if coming from another ROM base. Do not do a full wipe from the bootloader. Don't forget to do a Nandroid Backup first and give the ROM 10 mins to stabilise!"

So when I am in TWR, do I just do the Factory Wipe? Or simply go into Advanced Wipe and check everything by my MicroSD Card? Thanks, sorry for such a dumb question.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No worries, thats why we are here .... :D

I would do the ADV wipe as that will give you a nice clean install ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] 3rdamention:
Thanks Josh! The first time I installed Zombi, I was coming from Crombi-kk (wanting to try something different) and got stuck in a boot loop, or just stuck on the Zombi Head when it was booting up, wouldn't go any further. I wasn't sure if I had to do the full wipe, but then went back and looked at the instructions, took your advice with the Advanced Wipe, wiped everything but my MicroSD Card, and now I am setting up the tablet like its brand new. No more boot loop!

Perfect and I appreciate the very prompt assistance!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
Having a bit of an issue... probably not ROM related, but I'm hoping one of the experts here can help. I tried to flash Zombi-X b9 to my TF700 on internal/F2FS. It got as far as formatting system and then showed the "next" button (even though the rest of the installation had not seemed to finish). When I hit "next" the tablet rebooted, and went directly into recovery rather than trying to boot a ROM, but it just showing the "teamwin" screen and never actually loading into recovery (recovery is TWRP 7.2.1.1). I've tried restarting several more times, but each time it just boots to the teamwin screen and hangs.

I'm a little worried because this tablet cannot connect over ADB/Fastboot (it has never been able to). If the recovery is messed up, I'm not sure how to recovery it...

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

Update: not sure what happened, but I can no longer get to the fastboot menu now either. Regardless of whether I hold vol up/down it boots directly to the teamwin screen and hangs. Really not sure what to do now :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
No answer for the previous poster; it must be the night for weird TWRP / Zombi incidents. Undoubtedly I did something wrong here, but can't figure out what.

I am running Zombi-X with data2sd. And after extensive tweaking of the system, I was really liking stuff and thought I should run a Nandroid backup on it. That's where stuff went south. I got in to TWRP, installed the data2sd.zip so I'd be able to back up w/ Nandroid.... and data read ZERO. Now, I know it is there (later on I verify that by rebooting). When I run data2sd a second time before rebooting, just to see if any of the numbers change, it reports FAIL.

Now, that's perplexing. But then on top of it I realize TWRP is running 2.6.3 rather than the 2.8.0.1 I'd been running for weeks. Did that older version get installed by Zombi-X? Or is -- somehow -- a second copy of TWRP being loaded from the external partition?

Ah... there is one unorthodox thing I did in my install... that's using NTFS instead of fat32 in my first external partition. But it is there without issue.... so ????

Very strange as the tab is running without issue when I boot. But I'd rather fix this, both to do backups and when it comes to doing upgrades and so on....

Clues, Anyone?

Tnanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
If you never had ADB or fastboot access, does this mean that you don't have nvflash blobs either? This type of problem looks like a job for [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] :D

This is odd. Zombi-X would never install a recovery so I'm not sure how that may have happened.

Have you tried to re-install TWRP via fastboot? It would also be helpful if you could post your TWRP logs here for us to take a look at what might be causing the errors. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
I do not. This particular tablet has always been problematic. I got TWRP on it originally by pushing TWRP via terminal emulator from inside the original rooted stock ROM. After that I got Crombi-kk running on it. Trying to switch from Crombi to Zombi resulted in this error though...
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The best explanation I have is that you actually flashed the 2.6 TWRP when you thought you flashed 2.8. You may have grabbed the wrong file. The recovery does not install itself, so you must have done it.

Flash 2.8.x and try again and I would think your troubles will be gone...

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

Did you by any chance at any point try to Wipe Data from the bootloader?

What happens if you just let it sit on the TWRP splash screen for a few hours? Connect it to power when you do that.

The adb/fastboot problem is most likely related to your PC - I doubt it's the tablet.

It's much harder to get adb going with an unresponsive tablet, but I think you should try. You may have adb already on the TWRP splash screen... if you're lucky.

Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
I did, unfortunately, I think that's what made the problem worse. I did an advanced wipe on Data, System, and Internal to prep the device for Zombi. I then ran the installation from TWRP. It formatted system and started the ROM install, but "finished" and returned me to TWRP. When I rebooted, it started booting directly to the TWRP screen and hanging. At this point, I could still get into the fastboot screen, but choosing recovery also would only take me to the TWRP screen and hang.

After that I tried wiping data again from the fastboot screen (I know now that this is very bad, but did not at the time). After doing this, I can no longer get into the fastboot screen by holding vol-down. Regardless of how I boot or what buttons I hold, it boots directly to the TWRP screen and hangs.

Unfortunately I'm also pretty confident that the ADB problem is *not* the PC. I actually have two TF700s. The second one has no problems connecting via ADB using the same PC and same data cable. That one is already running Zombi as ROM2SD/F2FS without issues. The first tablet has never been able to ADB connect. I believe there may be a physical problem with its data port. It has never been able to connect via USB at all - even when it had a working ROM we always had to use WiFi to transfer files to it because it could not even connect via MTP or USB debugging when it booted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Tried getting the logs, but TWRP couldn't write them because it couldn't access /data or storage.

BUT.... as you suggested, here's what I did that solved most of my issues. I used ADB flash to install TWRP this time, not my usual way of doing things. And immediately (almost) all of the weird data / storage issues went away. I installed Zombi-X internal and external, rebooted each time, and it all looks good. So, I went back into TWRP, ran the data2sd script, and prepared to do a Nandroid. And was told it couldn't write to the TWRP folder. Fine. I changed paths from "internal" to "external" and saved it there. And that worked. I'm not sure why the Nandroid didn't have access to the default path -- which I admit my head is too overloaded to recall at the moment. One day I will conceptually get my head around just where the internal and external paths are, and how they work, and what happens to the "internal only" /data directory when I'm booted up on data2sd. But right now? I'm breathing a sigh of relief. So thank you for the help, hardslog, and your work on the grimlock kernel.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
Just wanted to drop by and share my experience with this ROM. Let me start by saying that this ROM has by far given me the best experience of any that I've tried with the tf700t... hands down. The features and performance provided by Zombi-X make my tablet exactly what I need it to be. One of the things that I want to share is my configuration and what has provided me with the smoothest performance. My setup is nothing extraordinary. I'm using the Grimlock kernel, journaling and fsync on, zip align, browser to ram and the graphics tweak. I've found that I get the most longevity from this setup as far as the ROM running smoothly without the need to restart.

Recently I started really testing the different governor and io scheduler settings and what I've found is that the pegasusq governor with the bfq io scheduler make the rom as smooth as silk in almost everything I do on it. For a while I was having a bit of a problem with the screen taking a while to turn on when I open the tablet in the dock as well as periodic super lags when switching between apps... most often after long sessions in the browser. The difference I've seen in both situations when using the settings that I mentioned previously is profound. Apps load smoothly and quickly and overall performance has been outstanding. Battery life with this ROM has also been outstanding so I can honestly say that I'm happy all the way around.

Once again, I simply cannot say enough for the outstanding work that has been done by the developers of this ROM. You have made such great strides in providing an enjoyable experience with this tablet. Thank you a million times and keep up the great work!

Cheers :D

Well after all the crashes, lockups and poor performance with Crombi-kk, I went back to Zombi x since I had no real problems with it. Since Asus apps 2.0 came out since I last had Zombi x I tried to install the Zombi version as well since I like them on Crombi kk. Zombi x loaded fine until I tried to install Asus apps and then it would get caught in the endless boot loop. I reduced apps until all I installed was asus launcher, supernotes and polaris. Why is there a Zombi version if it doesn't work with Zombi or am I missing something? They all worked fine with Crombi kk. thanks

Edit: sorry... I'm wrong posting here and not in q/a. Someone who can transfer this post there?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Don't sweat it. This XDA Q&A thing is driving me nuts... ;)

For a clean install wipe data, cache and Dalvik, then reflash the rom.

System gets formatted during installation so you don't have to wipe it.

Internal storage is where your personal files (pictures, files, also your Downloads folder) live. No need to wipe that unless you suspect something in data/media is causing problems. But you would have to backup everything you don't want to loose before you wipe!

This is a newer development... just within the last few days. If I allow my TF700 to run down to around 20 percent of battery left (only one indicator of course with Zombi) it suddenly and completely reboots. At first I thought this was about my maxiing out the cpu speed, but eased up on it onlly to find the same sudden shut down happening. Exact battery levels varied between 18 and 21 percent when this happened.

I'm enclosing a log, but wonder if due to the suddeness of the shutdown there's really any trace of what the heck happened. Thanks, everyone.

So I am not alone! I had made no changes and this just started a few days ago. I think there was a chrome update, but I cannot be sure.

Click Chrome icon in blacklist and choose Force Close

Launch Chrome again
