Aw, more information.

1. I can tell, that TB backups with f2fs work perfectly to another f2fs machine: I backup with TB on my tf201 and am able to restore on my tf700t. Both are f2fs (never had any other fs for years and won't return to ext4: too slow).

2. I never had any luck with flashable TBs; on some point TB freezes, so I have to restore apps one by one (some apps won't even restore then, don't know why).

3. You didn't tell what OS and what version of TB you referring to. In my experience only newest TB pro works properly with Lollipop.

Addition:

Don't ever backup any system apps or data (marked red in TB); it will cause issues, especially when changing OS from KK to LP and viceversa.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
yes, I have had pro for years..

K good to know that the backups in F2Fs will work.. so only have to set one machine up and the rest will work.

Was using appmonster for a while as liked the feature of both backups.. but the developer killed that one at least a year ago with buggy directory paths and seems he hasnt done anything to fix as yet by the comments in playstore.

As to F2Fs.. just been reading a article on them here..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das chaos:
I read the article with interest.

Account it to a placebo prone imagination of mine: I cling to my opinion, that f2fs is way faster on our old heaps.

Hi...

Sorry for the question but when you say flash Kernel... what file do I need to flash?

I've a TF201 and I'm trying to go v17

So I flashed the following files in the following order:

1) Flash ROM

2) Compatibility pack

==== Kernel ===== MISSING dont' know which file is it or where to get it

3) Gapps

4) SU

Could you please explain me?

Thanks!

Hi Nev,

No worries, better to ask then do something that causes you boot loops..

Link to Hardslogs 5.0 kernal Thread

This a link to Hardslogs xda downloads sections..

Download the 5.0 version

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=10391

I am still on the first version and not gone the "GRIMLOCK_tf300_tf201_5.0_Linaro2.zip " as yet.. there is debate on whether this style of kernel development is better then the older version of compiling, thus its up to the users to decide.. I actually need to find out more on whether it is a better kernel to use or not for our Machines.. note the Bluetooth is still a bit flacky on that version too, while on the older version it is working ok for me, just the drop outs once the bluetooth device is discounted once.. it may it may not find it again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Neviker:
Thanks for your reply...

Do you recommend me to wipe cache/dalvik after flashing each file?

Just for the record, What i'm trying to do is to run V17 on a TF201

Thanks!

Depends on what you are running now, If you are coming from another Rom or 4.4.4 then a good full format of everything is recommended.

Then if you are going to go for F2Fs on data, I would recommend, flash as per schedule do a reboot, let it settle in, then go back and format "DATA only" to F2Fs.

As it will wipe everything off the tablet..

then load all of your personal programs in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Neviker:
I was on 14b, at the moment I made a Format, Wipe and I just flashed the v17.

So i should keep flashing files until I reach SU and a then...?

Sorry but I have been all day trying to make it work, but tablet keeps randomly rebooting after 5 mins of use aprox. : / (but seems grimlock will fix it)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
ok, shouldnt be boot looping if you flash Grimlock kernel..

so like this..

Flash Rom 17

gapps..

Do a quick wipe if you want to..

Flash kernel 2x times.. strieght after each other.. I know this sounds like over kill...

but it will make it stick.. even flash it 3 times..

(forget compatibility pack as its got old 4.4.4 kernel in it)

Flash SU pack..

then you should find it boots..

If problems.. flash all as above but leave out the gapps for the boot..

boot it let it settle.. then go back and flash gapps..

If you have problems... and still boot looping..

Look at a format of your Data and system using the " advanced wipe function and also a factory reset ..

this should bring you back to clean partitions..

but hopefully just a few flashes of grimlock will get you back in to the thick of things..

Make sure its the right kernel..

either the standard 5.0 or the newer one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Neviker:
ALL SET :good: :D

haven't reboot in a while

flashed grimlock just once.

Just a final question... should i install K.A.T ? any real benefit?

Any luck withKatKiss 18?

Hello all,

I am running Tims KK17 at the moment and it works extremely well. I thought I would give 18 a go, so did a full wipe and flashed 18.

The tablet just did not like it at all with lots of freezing and FC's.

I loaded up the backup of 17 and tried a dirty flash of 18 over the top, tablet went in to a fit of vibrating without even getting to the boot screen!

Needless to say I am back on my 17 backup for now.

Has anyone manged to get KK18 running smoothly on the 201 Prime? I hope we can do it because the 300 guys seem to think its taken a great step forward.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
i dropped it on the TF201 yesterday and it seems ok.. I dirty flashed it and so far havent found problems..

as usual I flashed Grimlocks kernel a few times to make sure everything stuck..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] electorn:
OK, thats good to know. Perhaps I will try again with it. After the thing going into some weird buzzing/vibrating frenzy with a dirty flash I will do the wipes again and see what happens. I did do a couple of flashes with Grimlocks 5 kernel as well but it still was not happy. Its almost like each Prime has its own sweet spot for a ROM and refuses to play with others.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
Just a note...

Don't flash the new Grimlock LTE kernel on 18..

Read the thread to follow to see when it becomes stable for use with Tims ROMs..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] QLink:
hi guys,

i came from crombi 4.4.3 rom.

i did the following steps:

1. upgrade to twrp 2.8.5.0

2. wipe everything

3. format data

4. flash KatKiss-5.0_TF300T_017.zip

5. flash compatibility pack

6. flash GRIMLOCK_tf300_tf201_4.0.zip kernel (4times)

7. flash gapps-KatKiss-5.0_TF300T_20141122.zip

8. flash SU

flashing passed all without problems, but my TF201 seems to stuck in katkiss boot animation [MENTION=222524]first[/MENTION] boot.

i've read that first boot takes a while, but i've already waited more than 30mins...

i hope you guys can help me to get this rom working.

thanks in advance

best greetz

edit: found the problem myself. i need to install grimlock v5 instead of v4.

tablet is booting fine now :)

question: is Tims V17+grimlock v5 still the most stable combination ? what are your experiences ? i'm aiming for the most stable system possible with TF201+Lollipop Rom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] consuela:
Hey guys,

I seem to be having some problems with v17 & v18. My tf201 wont load past the linux penguin screen, the last line being "preinit: finished - booting your operating system...".

I did a full wipe and even reformatted data.

Then I flash rom > comp.pack > grimlock 5.0 > timduru gapps > supersu 2.46.

Any tipps would be greatly appreciated, or if somebody has the links to the older KKlollipop versions.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das chaos:
If you flash Grimlock v. 5.0 for tf300t/tf201, you don't need comp. pack. Try flash ROM, timduru's gapps, superSU and reboot to OS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] consuela:
Follow up:

Disregard the problem mentioned before.... Im an idiot for downloading the tf101 roms instead of the tf201 roms haha.

Anyways, v18 is running really well atm and battery life is excellent! Bluetooth and wifi both working using grimlock v5.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
Wow, this ROM is snappy! Followed the following steps and have a blazing fast (but empty) tablet right now..

After coming from Hairybean 2.3, I updated to the latest TWRP, did a factory reset, flashed ROM (v18), compatibility, SU, and gapps from the http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t2932783 thread. After rebooting and having the system catch up, things look beautiful. ≈

However...I can't download anything. I'll go into the Play store and sometimes apps won't download at all. If they download, once it tries installing, it gives an "unknown error". I was on Grimlock 4.0+ then just flashed 5.0 and still no new changes. If anything, 5.0 seems a little bit slower.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
You might have to look at a few more data wipes...

this seems to fix the play store problems...

Its happened to those on the TF300T threads too..

but is fixable with deep wipes.

I would only use Grimlock 5 on lollypop not G4s as G5 is made for it..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
Thanks! I formatted my data last night (twice on accident), did the factory reset and reloaded everything and it looks good! Quick question though for something I wasn't able to follow well in the thread..what exactly is f2fs and is it necessary to format?

Now my problem is that my old apps didn't reload automatically and my TB can't find my old backups. Is this something that can be fixed or does it have to do with the f2fs format?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das chaos:
f2fs is a filesystem developed by Samsung for nand storage chips: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS

IMHO it speeds up our old heaps significantly; certain devs here doubt that.

You can adopt f2fs by formatting /data (and only /data) via TWRP=>wipe=> check only Data=> repair fs/change fs.

All your apps and internal sdcard will be deleted and have to be restored; so better backup previously.

------------------

If you had had your TB backups stored on /data, they are probably erased.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
Thanks das chaos....I'm in the process of reloading all my apps manually via the play store. If I do this, run a TB on my apps only (in current format), reformat to f2fs, will I be able to restore my TB on the new data format?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
Hi.

I'm trying to inteall Katkiss on my Prime.

I've already upgraded TWRP to the latest version.

After Wiping and formating the partitions, when i try to convert them to F2FS, I'm always getting an error saying the process was unable to wipe /data.

How can i solve this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das chaos:
With newest TB: yes. But batch backup and restore with TB is buggy (at last for me). Ich got best results with restoring first the apps an let them run and then data. Be sure not to restore system data.

---------- Post added at 12:02 ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 ----------

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
Guys, I have passed the TF201 on to the parents and so it's out of my hands for now so won't be flashing it so often.. I felt that v18 was stable enough with the grim5 kernal so that's what they get..

The screen flicker is not going to worry them as its mostly going to be for Kodi runs, eBook reading and lounge lizard net surfing..

I was thinking of keeping it but an happy with 2x TF300Ts floating around the house with the N10 as the WC reader even thru it has that good dam yellow tint on the screen FU sammy and Google for leaving us out in the cold on that one...

Anyway..will keep an eye on this thread to help out where I can..

glad we have sorted out so many users into a good stable ROM for this old beast and as always...a shout out to ALL developers that still pull out all stops to bake Roms and kernels for our devices..

I've just installed this rom on my prime and i have a few questions

Also, my camera is dead...

Any help?

About the camera issue, i've re-flashed the compatibility pack, and is now working fine
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesus Army:
Thanks Das Chaos. After having flashed this blazing fast ROM following lj50036 instructions, I was wondering if it was using F2FS by default or if we have to do something for it.

I think that I will backup with TB, format /data, convert to F2FS and restore. Hopefully my TF201 will be even faster.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
From what I understand (someone jump in here if I'm wrong), but backing up apps with TB on ext4 format will not restore in any way in F2FS (traditionally or via executable zip). Is this true?

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

I'm definitely not a pro here, but when I first flashed the ROM (without formatting my data), I also wasn't able to remove icons from the desktop. I didn't try the camera, but installing apps also gave me the error. Once I formatted the data, everything was back to normal again (camera and all).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mtbr442:
First off I wanted to say thanks to all the developers! Just amazing what they are able to do.

I just finished flashing my prime with the following:

TWRP 2.8.3

Formated to f2s2

Flashed ROM 18

Compatibility pack

Grimlock 5.0 Kernal

Gapps

SU

The prime is working great except for one thing - the camera. It has failed again. RMA'd the first failure. Don't believe it is a software thing as I did the squeeze thing at the top and that fixed it until I let it go. I opened up the prime and besides being amazed at how Asus put my prime back together (5 missing screws plus one floating around inside) the camera would still work if I moved it out of its mount and straightened the ribbon cable. Obviously this won't work as I need to button it back up. Anyone know where to find a replacement camera? I have seen a few on eBay but they are all used so that is a little risky.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
Is anyone noticing some decent lag when opening up games? Examples are slightly more graphics intensive games that hairybean handled just fine. Otherwise, when opening non gaming apps, once the tablet gets warmed up, it gets moving.

This is still with me being on ext4 without making the jump to f2fs...(debating about formatting but not excited about losing data in some of my apps)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
v18 works perfect on me with grimlock 5 kernel :good:

No lag, no crashes, no warm ups or any slow downs

I recommend you to format /data as f2fs then clean flash v18 :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
Actually spent some time yesterday doing just this. Still in the process of manually reloading all my apps, but it does seem a LOT faster (ie. I can actually multitask while installing apps in the background). After a few hours of use though, stability seems to be slightly impacted with random resets/freezes from google play. More testing to come.....

Note: this is after a few unsuccessful reloads of TB traditionally through the restore function in the app and also through the update.zip that I tried flashing through TWRP. Hoping to be able to load the data for some of the apps that I want manually after initial install through the Play store.

That said, has anyone been successful in loading all the apps upon first load through Google's restore function?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frank.devliegher:
v19 + f2fs + grimlock 5.0 on TF201 work quite well with some issues

My setup:

Wiped /system and did a fresh v19 install + grimlock kernel 5.0 + gaps

/data was already f2fs formatted

overall no serious issues, tf201 is a daily use device again with this katkiss rom, thanks a lot!

what are the issues:

- on screen keyboard appears although the tablet is docked

- at some time, the tablet is really not responsive. When looking at the cpu stats (on via dev tools), the blue bar (IO) is really high and each time mmcqd is on the top of the list. Seems something to do with SD storage. Changed IO scheduler to noop, seems to be better. Other people seeing this behavior? Other solutions?

- the busy animation (the turning half circle) is not running smoothly, seems like some 'high prio interrupts' are going on, linked with the previous?

- slideshare app is crashing, 'out of mem' error ... unclear if this a kernel cause or an app issue. On my phone it does not crash, but has 2G of ram.

Trying to dirty flash it now. Honestly, with v18, when it was fast, it was FAST, but I still had issues with crashing after 10-15 mins of continuous use. Unsure if the io scheduler or performance tweaks could fix it.

Hi guys (and girls probabily),

What's the latest "stable" (stable means all things working ok, including cam and gps) "pack" (and pack means OS, twrp, supersu, kernel, gapps, filesystem change, etc...) that i can install on TF201?

Sorry to ask but it's that all in the foruns, made me a little confuse, because there are of 3 ou 4 forums and one redirects the onlytf201 info to another and then that one was terminated and came this one... well..... or could you put the latest steps and info on the main page of the forum?
