Hello :) I am a new user o asus Tf700 and zombi-x. Is there anyoption to install themes like it is build in the crombi ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ibanezcollector:
When I apply a theme within apex the wallpaper disappears any idea how to fix it.

Rom2sd install

Where can I find THATv10+ kernel ?

I want to install ZOMBI-X on my SD while CHROMBI-X is on internal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
In _that's kernel thread.

But why do you need it separately? The kernel is part of the rom installation...

Choosing it in Aroma is the best way to make sure you install a kernel compatible with the om you flash.

Wi-fi Region Code Always Europe?

Not sure what the impact of this setting is, but the wi-fi region code seems to be stuck on Europe.

I set it to United States, but when I go back to check the settings it's set to Europe again.

Anyone else seeing this behavior? And is this significant? Wi-fi has performance has always been an issue for me on the TF700T so I'm looking for anything that will help wi-fi performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Did you choose US edition in Aroma? Default is WW (due to sbdags being a Brit I guess, LOL)

If not, dirty flash the rom and choose US.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:
When installing Beta version 9 (Oct 10th release) , I don't see an option in the installer to select US versus WW versions. Am I missing something?
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
how long does the first boot take? i read 10 minutes but my tf700 is in loop for more than 35 minutes...

UPDATE: i have turned off the tablet. now i'm in recovery TWRP. what can i do?

UPDATE 2: i'm trying to reinstall zombi-x b9... :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
Now it's so
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
What does it mean?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Whenever you cannot boot a new rom, ask yourself:

Am I on the required bootloader and recovery?

Did I do all the wipes necessary?

Since you didn't post any of those essentials infos I don't know what to tell you....
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Ah, I've seen that "systems inconsistent" message before. It resulted in my case from installing the Asus Apps 2.0, including calendar and framework, over the Zombi-X v9 install. Bad idea. The *only* solution I found to get rid of that and some weird lag caused by mixing and matching the two was to do the TWRP "default wipe" and then reinstall Zombi-X. And do not install Asus apps. Not now. Wait for 2.1. That's all I can tell you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
I do the dalvik and cache wipes...

Now if I do the data wipe... I need an SD card to install the ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
data wipe in TWRP will not delete /data/media which has your user files.

edit: if you do "Format Data" or wipe Internal Storage, then you'll need SD Card or do MTP transfer of ROM to your tablet
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
ah ok...

i have done a factory reset from settings and now it's clean. i have only a problem... every image i use as wallpaper it doesnt work... it seems to accept only the zombi red image...how i can solve?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Which launcher are you using? Trebuchet (the default launcher) or Apex or Nova or some other one? Open Settings app and Home. That tells you which launcher you are running. Next, as long as you are there in Settings, two selections or so down from Home is Display. Go in there. Click on "Wallpaper" and select an image from there. If that does not work, I suspect you're running Nova or Apex. You'll have to open that launcher's settings and muck about in there with wallpaper images.... I hope that works.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
Default launcher
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It's aTrebuchet bug. Try a different launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
You can download Nova from Play Store for free (don't need to reinstall Zombi-X again). Install it and have fun.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Now that Lollipop is out and Google is updating the apps in the Play Store, is ART more reliable on Zombi-X? Or are there changes that need to be made in the systems software and the ART implementation that will require an OmniROM lollipop release? Thx
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Google releasing apps will not make the system more stable. A new build is needed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I've had to give up on ART; I had it running with Zombi, but noticed (I felt) real slowness at times. Then on the last install of Zombi-X I did via data2sd, when I switched to ART and rebooted for it to reinstall the apps, the reinstall gagged and died. Lock up. No biggie; had the Nandroid back up so was up and runnng again within around 10 minutes. But it will be nice when ART is finalized in Lollipop and we have one or more versions to run on our TF700s.... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
ART feels pretty smooth so far ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
I have tried nova launcher (and also Google now) but only the red zombi wallpaper is accepted...

I have to do a wipe data, dalvik, cache and to reinstall the ROM? Doing wipe data, the zip file of the ROM is erased ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I usually leave my downloaded ROM files in the - ha! - downloads folder, which is safe from being wiped unless you select "wipe internal rom." Don't do that. And don't reinstall Zombi-X just to fix this wallpaper issue. That's not what will solve it.

A few things re wallpaper. First, are you sure you have other wallpapers available? That is, do they show up when you select the change wallpaper options from settings or wherever else you're doing it?

Second, when you choose Nova (for instance) as your launcher did you make that choice the default? That is, when you first select a new launcher it is easy to do so and actually be running it on top of the original *and still default* launcher. You have to make sure Nova is the new default. Again, best way is to go to Settings>Home and insure that's the case. Next, try Nova's wallpaper chooser... and if that doesn't work, try the Settings wallpaper chooser.

I do remember this also being a little bit tricky when I first installed Zombi-X. So don't feel bad. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i answered this question for you yesterday? :confused:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56668458&postcount=47
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
Yes. Nova as default and wallpapers compatible... Yes, I see the image and I can cut the area as wallpaper but in the end I see a total black wallpaper...

I know but I have not understood if data/media includes the download folder
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
yes, it does. the User data folder within the data partition is not deleted so Downloads will be safe with just Wipe Data partition in TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
Ok thanks. Do you suggest to reinstall the ROM?

Restoring Apex and Tibu backups

Hi all,

I've never been successful restoring Apex backups or apps from Tibu, probably because I'm placing them in the wrong place.

Here's my senario: Running Zombi-X on External (Rom2SD) with Chromi-X 5.4 on internal. I want my backups on Internal. (and I think they are)

Although Google will restore my apps eventually, I'm really frustrated at having to recreate my desktop each time.

What is the sequence and correct locations to copy backups to External once Rom is flashed? (Apps are from previous Zombi-x)

If someone's using this setup, I'd appreciate some advice, thanks.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
Re-posting in the QA thread since I originally posted my problem in the dev thread (sorry).

Having a serious issue with one of my two TF700s. After advanced wiping (from TWRP 2.7.1.1) data, system, and internal to reformat as F2FS, I tried to install Zombi-X B10 and the install failed. My guess is one of the partitions had not been re-mounted when I tried the flash. After doing this I could no longer get into recovery, the tablet would boot directly into TWRP and hang indefinitely at the "TWRP" blue screen. I could still get into fastboot mode at this point.

I then did something apparently very stupid - I tried wiping data against from the Asus fastboot menu. This made the situation worse. The tablet now still boots directly into TWRP and hangs at the "TWRP" screen, but now I can also no longer get into the fastboot interface by holding power and vol-down (it ignores this input and still boots to TWRP, hangs).

The big problem is that this is on the tablet that does not have working ADB. This tablet has never been able to connect to a PC via USB (not even via MTP when it had a working ROM). When plugged in, the computer does not even recognize that a USB device has been connected. I'm positive it is *not* an issue with drivers, ADB installed, or cable because I have a second TF700T that connects just fine using the same laptop and cable. I think the problematic tablet actually has something physically wrong with its connector or the internal data cable. I already tried looking at the pins in the connector (they look fine) and actually took the tablet apart to check inside. Nothing looks obviously wrong. I'm pretty sure I could replace the charging port+ribbon if I had a spare, but the ones I've found online so far are too expensive to be worth it (the money would be better spent on a new table instead).

I'd still love to get this tablet working if that's possible without ADB/Fastboot I'm not sure if it's even possible to fix this tablet, but I don't know if that's the case .

omniswitch

I cannot work out how to get Omni switch to work and use it afterwards. Can someone point this old slightly thicker than a 2x4 to a simple how to please.

I have the little blue edge swipe thing on the right of the screen to pull across, but don't seem to get floating windows no matter which button I press.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
I have done wipe data, cache, system and dalvik but always black wallpaper (Google launcher, nova launcher or omni launcher...)!!!!!!!

Why???

This ROM seems to be good but I don't like zombi wallpaper....
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you wipe data, yes you shold reflash the rom.

In TiBU you can let it scan internal/external media for backups. It's under Menu > Preferences > Backup settings > Detect

Don't know about Apex, but you may be able to specify a backup location. If not just copy the folder somewhere safe and restore it after the flash

If you don't have ADB in recovery your only option may be to be patient. I was thinking of recommending _that's bootit.ko, but if you can't get to terminal that won't work.

Let it boot to TWRP, connect it to power and let it sit. If you're lucky TWRP will eventually execute the Wipe Data command you issued from the bootloader. It could take hours... leave it overnight.

If I remember correctly (currently only have my TF701) open the OMNI switch, long press the app you want to float.

Uninstall Trebuchet and Google launcher, reboot then try again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bplzip:
I have the same senario: Cromi-X internal, Zombi-X external(ROM2SD). Here's what works for me:

I keep my ROM2SD backups in folders on internal:

sdcardi/0/Apex Backup

sdcardi/0/TiBU KK (also have "TiBU Cromi-X" for internal backup).

I use TiBU to backup all user apps to sdcardi/0/TiBU KK

To backup Apex to internal:

In Apex Settings/Backup & Restore execute "Backup Apex Settings" and "Backup Desktop data". These two backup files can then be found in sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher. Copy these two files and paste them into sdcardi/0/Apex Backup.

After flashing ROM:

First, restore all user apps using TiBU:

Go to MENU...Batch actions...RUN Restore all apps with data.

After user apps have been restored, it is time to recreate the desktop:

Execute "Backup Apex Settings" and "Backup Desktop data" in Apex Settings/Backup & Restore. This will create sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher.

Now go to "Apex Backup" on internal, copy the backed-up files, and paste into sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher, overwriting the two files that you just created.

Go back to Apex Settings/Backup & Restore and execute "Restore Apex Settings" and "Restore desktop data".

I have installed every Crombi-KK and Zombi-X release to ROM2SD this way. I always use gparted to reformat each partion on my microSD cards before flashing. I know this is probably overkill, but I have been rewarded with a trouble-free installation every time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Once again, mucking about with my TF700. Zombi is now my external go to system via data2sd. But today I decided to install Crombi-X... yea, yea, I know, ol' Jelly Bean and all that. But I kinda like what I see re having what looks a whole lot like the original Asus system (well, cuz it is pretty much). So... how can I get it to dual boot with Zombi-X on external and Crombi-X on internal (this via data2sd). Somehow either I've forgotten how to do this or data2sd isn't meant to do it or Crombi-X doesn't have a way to do it. I'm hoping it is the first reason. Clues, anyone?

Thanks, and blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
I have done wipe data, cache, system, dalvik and I have reflashed the ROM... The problem persists...

I can't find trebuchet launcher.... Where is it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Hmm. I wonder if I sent you on a rabbit trail by mentioning trebuchet.... it is in Crombi-KK but I don't think it is in Zombi. There's Omni Launcher in Zombi, along with Nova Apex and Google (?). I'm not sure why you're having such trouble with the wallpaper.

Did you try this? Just go to Settings > Display > Wallpaper and see if choosing a new wallpaper there does the trick.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
Yes i do.

You are right. There is omni nova apex Google launcher. This time I installed only nova and Google but there is the same problem...

I don't know what to do...

Loving Xombi X wondering about multiwindow support

Really happy with my tf700t now that it actually runs smoothly, not exactly sure what Asus did with their stock rom but wow that was just plain painful to deal with.

One of the reasons I went with xombi was what looked to be support for multiple windows, I usually consider myself more than a bit competent and dig around till I find answers but I must not be digging in the right place, I can't find a settings area to enable. I know that it must be user error, but aside from installing a multiwindow app which I can do is there a setting in the rom itself... No hurries just wondering what I'm missing.

Thanks

What a great explanation. I see what I've been missing.

Thanks so much.

The sweetest way I like, is to go buy a second microSD. Just format and pop out the existing one and load a different Rom. Now on reboot you either get Chromi-x with the External card removed, or either of your two External Roms with an External SD card installed. Great for playing around.

[Asus Transformer TF700] drbly:
I have been using ZOMBi-X for several weeks now and have appreciated how it makes my TF700 useful again. I tried the OMNI switch, and waded through a number of searches trying to learn how to make it useful. Ultimately, I turned it off. Until I read the post by berndblb today. I read, "open the OMNI switch, long press the app you want to float", and the light bulb came on. It is not something I will use all of the time, but I love this capability. This is why I read these threads. Thanks to all the contributors.

My new question is related to whether it is possible to open up 2 specific apps that are frequently used together, one snapped to the left and the other snapped to the right, with one click.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
the option for Internal Install with existing ROM2SD was removed from the installer. so your CROMBI install removed the hooks to do the ROM2SD.

the External ROM is still there, but you need to dirty flash ZOMBI to regain ROM2SD. iirc, i've seen another way to do this with out reflashing (look in the ROM2SD thread or other posts by _that), but this is my "brute force" method (and you will lose any customizations you may have done in /system/ )

hopefully this option for Internal install will be re-added in future installer versions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
Anyone?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:

I have tried other launcher as go launcher, apus but the wallpapers is ever total black!!!

Can be a GPU problem???
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Not certain on the difference. I have no problem using the "select a picture" feature to set a wallpaper. I use the ones that came from the TF701. They work great. I thought that it was settled that the wallpapers that don't display have a resolution mismatch with the ROM.

//cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] madiweb:
Today i solved. I have tried downloading the zombi from the other link but it has the same problem (wallpaper). So I downloaded the crombi-kk and all works good.

I'm quite angry because zombi seems to be better (less lags than crombi)

Hi. When we choose xposed on install, we get GravityBox. Is it doing something important for us? Without more information, my thought is that xposed by itself with a desired module would be more lightweight. Am I misunderstanding why GravityBox is there? is it ok to delete it? Or should we be using it rather than installing separate modules?

Hello all. I know that heat is a by-product of work. Physics and all that.

I'm running ROM2SD with F2FS on my data partition. I've used interactive/row and pegasus/deadline. I've used Greenify to hibernate a few apps and a lot of apps. My TF700 runs hot when ever I use it. The floor is 40000C and and it runs up to 68000. (What are those units?). I have 152 apps installed.

I run the CPU between 350 and 1800. (I've used 350/1700 too)

Is this much ado about nothing, or is there a way to lower the temp?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Apparently these units are millicelsius. Depending on which apps you use, the CPU/GPU has more or less work to do. For web browsing, I'd expect temperatures to not rise significantly; with heavy 3D gaming it's not unusual to exceed 60°C.

To lower temperatures, you can try undervolting - Wikipedia says: "The dynamic power consumed by a CPU is approximately proportional to the CPU frequency, and to the square of the CPU voltage". Note that too much undervolting makes your system crash under load. You may also want to tune your CPU governor or try a different one.

Chrome starts in window mode

I don't remember changing anything, but chrome now starts in windowed mode. Reflashed the ROM (and different kernel) just to make it return some snappiness and it is still windowed. Chrome is the only app that I see doing this.

What do I do to stop the windowed chrome?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
This theory is only valid or applied when your CPUs are working in the linear region but if your CPUs are outside of that region then it does not work any more. Asus Engineers are already finding the best region for this product to operate in to obtain the best battery and speed for this tf700t but we go outside of this region to get more power and speed. Obviously, 1.8GHz is at the high corner of the saturation for this tegra 3 chip set. It is the observation that I see in this device and of course only my own opinion...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I just want to repeat what a pleasure it is to participate in the Cromi-Family fora (I cringe more than when I say "Neesh" //laughs.) I'm deciding on a new phone and it sounds like a middle school (I went to a Jr High) audicafegymnatorium (school funding is a completely off-topic rant and goes to a completely different site ... I'll see you there in a minute) in those phone threads ... //smile
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
What do you mean with "linear region"? Also, Asus Engineers have probably done less than NVidia here, but both have to make sure that everything works reliably even under tough conditions (temperature, voltage, chip quality variation, age, ...) in all shipped devices, so they needed to add a safety margin. Overclocking reduces this margin, and undervolting reduces it further. But it's not uncommon that both are possible at the same time if you are lucky and have a good SoC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
The linear region for a CPU is proportional of frequencies with the respectively to the dynamic power for that chip set. However, the CPU is not infinity or ideal in speed so it can only go as fast as it can and it will stop at a certain top speed. At this point, more power doesn't push it going faster but a waste of power and create heat or loss which is called saturation state. So a hardware engineer will find the linear region or an operating ranges for their device to optimize speed and power usages. For the tf700, I believed that top frequency is around 1.75GHz and 1.8GHz is the corner frequency which is starting to enter the saturation state.

The NVidia is responsible for the specification for the chip set but Asus designed the tf700t motherboard so their job is to make sure that the devices are working properly. So I believed that Asus is responsible for the QTP for the tf700t....:D

I let it sit at the TWRP screen for 48 hours and it has not moved on. I've had no luck getting ADB/Fastboot working either. I even ended up ordering and installing a replacement USB/Charging cable (which comes with a new charging port/connector attached). After installing the new cable/port the tablet still has the same problem as before - it will charge fine, but will not connect to a PC in any manner. At this point I think I have no real choice but to call the thing dead. It's a shame, I've played around with custom ROMs/firmware on loads of devices (routers, phones, PSP, Wii) and have never managed to actually brick a device before. Guess my luck had to run out sometime :(
