Does Zombi-pop trim the flash memory automatically?

My TF700T had terrible lag, so I flashed Crombi-KK onto it. It is much more responsive, but I am starting to see the lag again. I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help me with...

1. Does Crombi-KK trim the flash memory automatically?

2. If not, will LagFix work with the new ROM?

3. Would moving to Zombi-pop be an improvement?

4. I had asked already whether changing to the new file system would be the greatest improvement, and the answer was yes. Before I do that, I want to learn about it. Does anyone have a link to a discussion on the topic?

Thanks in advance...

Ron
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Glad it worked eventually - you have terrible internet! I'd look into your ISP and why you have so many issues ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Zombi is better. Nope none of these roms properly trim as the fstrim function isn't working as I understand it. Hardslog tried to fix it but ended up bricking his device so it is best to wipe every now and then or use an app like trimmer from the store.

Search in general and you will see discussions on f2fs and how to convert. YOu can go back to ext4 at any time and it is now built into TWRP KANG version by lj50036.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
I had Crombi-KK installed for many months on my TF700 with ext4 partitions because apparently TRIM does not work (or didn't) on F2FS partitions. I used to run (in a terminal), 'fstrim -v /data' and 'fstrim -v /cache' as superuser about weekly and then reboot. It was reported that the partitions were trimmed on completion of command in terminal. (can take 10 mins or so on /data). On reboot TF700 was definitely less laggy again. I have been running Zombie-Pop with F2FS for the last couple of weeks and was amazed at the performance improvement I got! The device became useful again as my primary device. However, that initial speed probably won't last and I will need to wipe /data and reinstall data from backup (If I have understood this right?). Much more cumbersome procedure in the absence of TRIM command on F2FS though. We'll see.....but so far I am very grateful to the developers of this ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
1) For me OpenVPN does NOT work. It did work on the v5.0 Beta 6 version of this ROM, but does not work any more on any of the v5.1 versions (all with the identical settings) ... see earlier post.

2) Just checked and for me using a USB FAT32 drive works on the port in the docking station. Didn't check on the lights, but I can read and write files.

I notice that the 5.1.1 ROM has busybox 1.21 -jb installed. I would like to know if updating busybox to 1.23 will cause problems with the tablet being on a Jellybean bootloader from ASUS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Does busybox 1.23 have something extra you need?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcp2:
No I generally just like to keep everything updated. The reason why I ask is I updated my 700 with full wipe and it flies. When I did full wipes on my Mom's and brother's tf300 I get spontaneous reboots often. I don't know if busybox updating is the cause, as most everyone on the tf300 thread have great expeiences. I know that the ROM is still beta. Just wondering. I guess the old adage is correct: if it works, don't fix it :) I'll try dirty flashing. I know that this would probably be better off in the tf300 thread, but as my tf700 is also using a JB bootloader from ASUS, I'm curious if I should dirty flash this ROM as well to restore the busybox 1.21 even though it's stable with 1.23 installed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
As long as you're not actively using it, it doesn't matter which version is installed. Since it's normal user mode software and independent of Android, it will run with any bootloader and kernel.

Wireless slows down between power-offs

I recently flashed my tablet up to Crombi-KK. I continue to see a behavior that I had hoped would be gone, but it is not, and I need your help.

After a power up, my wireless performance is in the 27-34 MBits per second range, and it remains in that range as long as the tablet is on. When I let it go to sleep, and I check it in the morning, the wireless performance is in the 5-7 MBits per second range. If I power off / power on the tablet, it is back up to the 27-34 MBits per second range.

Does anyone understand why this happening, and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks in advance...

I've noticed a similar problem on wakeup. I've found that even though the wifi shows on and connected, a stop/start/reconnect of wifi will cure the slow internet connection.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jerry43812:
I'm impressed that someone's kept this slate alive this long.

I have one, its sat in my laptop bag forever now, because it is abhorrently slow. It lags worse than trying to edit video on an old commodore 64, and even waking it up from sleep can take up to one minute. This is all on the cleanest flash I can do of CM 10 (i think... its been a while to remember what version, but it's defo CM). I've tried different kernels etc to no avail.

I'm interested in trying this out, I will probably download it, but I'd like to know if anyone might know of an app or computer program that will actually test the hardware in the tablet? I have suspicion I have a hardware issue but since I bought the thing forever ago there's no longer any warranty on it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rippolito1:
Jerry43812, I like your suggestion. If anyone has a diagnostic program, we could use it to baseline our tablets. Then, as we try things, we can see what works, and what doesn't.

My tablet ran much better after I flashed Crombi-KK on it, but after a while, it began slowing down. I have been running Trimmer when I notice it slowing down - apparently that ROM doesn't trim the flash memory, which baffles me because that would seem to be a necessity for any OS these days.

So...speaking of performance, does anyone have recommendations for the settings in the 'performance' section of settings, in order to get the absolute maximum performance out of the tablet?

Thanks in advance...

Ron
[Asus Transformer TF700] jerry43812:
I'm not even trying to make the tablet work hard. I just really want to actually use the thing... its been unusable since I got it, so thats why I have a suspicion of hardware issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you even on zombi? If not then flash it and go to settings performance and play. Crombi-kk is dead.

If I am on Android 4.2.1 and build 10.6.1.27.5 (another custom rom) will it be ok to flash this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
If you are on stock Asus....

You will need a full wipe from TWRP .....

What version of TWRP do you have installed ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] EVObastard:
TWRP 2.4.4.0 so I'll have to update that and I'm on CROMi-x
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes upgrade TWRP & do a full format of tab...

Then you should be ready to install zomb-pop ....

One thing 10.6.1.27.5 is a TF300T bootloader ?

Why post it in the TF700T thead ..... :rolleyes:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] EVObastard:
Not sure, I have TF700T and that's what came with CHROMi-x which is in the TF700T thread. Maybe that's why it's running a little slow. Thanks for the help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah that isn't your bootloader that was the version of the rom that the last CROMi-X was based on which was actually a TF300 rom based off the 27.5 firmware.

You need to boot holding down power and volume down to see the actual bootloader version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] EVObastard:
OK cool I'm on 10.6.1.14.10
[Asus Transformer TF700] rafaoliva:
Hello everybody,

This is the first time I install a custom rom, so I got some doubts. Could they help me?

1) When installing I have selected the f2fs file system, but after noticed that was still installed as ext4. Why? I need to do to change?

2) You can install the rom again without changing the programs installed (as a windows update, for example)?

3) When installing I have not selected the launchers (apex, new, etc.), can you install them now?

4) The options I change the tab performance do not save when I restart the tablet back all the standard. With the governor is even worse: as soon as I leave the screen it back to interactive option. This is a bug or am I missing something?​

Sorry if any error in English, automatic translation :D:D:D​

[Asus Transformer TF700] macka84:
If you google TF700 TWRP F2FS, and go to the XDA Guide, it will lead you to both the official TWRP (Blob, not zip), as well as the Kang Modded version, which looks like it may have tools implemented for converting to f2fs, as a flashable zip. TWRP don't really support flashable zips, And I don't blame them. I corrupted my bootloader by trying to use a recovery to flash a new recovery. Trust me, that is not a road you want to go down. It is probably safer to flash either a blob or an img via fastboot. If yo have access to a computer with adb and fastboot, and the asus drivers, this is not very hard. It is the way I would go. If you do this with the kang version, you will usually find the img, or blog in the zip.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Just be aware that, for our device, even if it is called a .img its still a .blob .....

You can verify this by running a hexdump on the file .....

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
And I wonder what I've been flashing all this time since what - TWRP 2.1????

Oh yeah! ZIPs!!!!! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Thanks lj. This confirmed I got it right. I'll be wiping data again this week and coming up to the latest beta. Looking forward to having a snappy tab again.

Sb-is it true that the internal memory of the tf701 is just as bad? Is there any point to a tf701 over a tf700?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The TF701 on stock runs circles around the 700 on ZOMBI-POP without breaking a sweat. I have both on ZOMBi. ;D

That said, you gotta get lucky. QC was terrible on the TF701, well documented dock problems etc make it a hit or miss. Still - I'm using it every day and it's the device I grab when I want to get done anything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rafaoliva:
Mack84, thanks for the help.

Let me clarify, I already installed the rom. I followed strictly the instructions of the beginning of the post. My doubts arose after I installed and started using the tablet ...

But to answer what you asked:

I was with the latest firmware version 10.6.1.14.10, I'm sure.​

The bootloader has been unlocked. I took a lot of trouble, Asus Apps was giving error, but found the solution in another forum topic and I managed to unlock.​

I did not know I had to do it, it's too late right? :crying: But I could install the new rom smoothly, so I think I dont corrupt the bootloader.​

Reading the topic you suggested I saw that only the /data should be changed to f2fs. And when I said that my continued as ext4 it is because at the boot appears that information must refer to another partition, right? how I see the file system of the partition?​
[Asus Transformer TF700] EVObastard:
Thanks all, I was hoping I could just flash a zip as all I have access to at the moment is my Linux computer (I don't have time while on the road to set it up for this) . I'll wait till I get home and do it on my pc. I'll also get a new memory card and partition it at the same time.

EDIT : Just Googled it and it should be rather easy on my Linux machine ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dr_Artus:
Hi !

Thanks for your work, my tablet didn't work like that since I have it. However, I have a problem with WPS office which does not want to open docx file (I suppose there is a problem with Writer). I saw someone has the same problem. Any idea how to make it work ?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] willyggg:
Thanks sbdags!

The ASUS is working better than when first out of the box.

Instructions were not too bad to follow in the end!

But...

Has anybody else noted that IMEI/IMEI SV are both set to : ZOMBI-BETA-2?

Any ideas?

I understand that they likely would be found in the TWRP Backup EFS files - but my backup has no EFS info!

I have a hard copy of the IMEI from tablet anti theft software, but at this stage, can not see how it will help.

In addition, without a unique IMEI tracking will be impossible. :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] macka84:
I'm pretty sure you can get ADB and Fastboot linux binarys. I work with windows and linux, but i mostly use windows for this sought of stuff. That been said, if you can find the Linux versions, then most of the commands are usually the same, with maybe a "sudo" Thrown in for good measure. As fare as the drivers go, im not sure, but linux is usually good at detecting hardware. If you get the binarys, plug your tab in with it on, and usb debugging enables, and type "sudo adb devices". If you get a single serial no. returned, then everything else should work.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

The initial boot on these partitions is looking for partitions on sd cards for Data2SD and Rom2SD. If you do go down this path, and you decide to go full rom2sd, your sd card will have 3 partitions on it. One Fat32 for regulare data storage (not /data), one ext4 for /system, and one that can either be ext4 or f2fs for /data. If you only flash internal, it will only showthe first one (/data on internal)

As for Brickproofing, I think you can still do it, it is just something that I reccomend doing before putting on custom roms. And I talk from experience, as I bricked my TF300, and only learned of this afterwards. It is optional, but it does give me a bit of peace of mind.
[Asus Transformer TF700] EVObastard:
I've done a couple other devices with Linux and find it easier and faster once it's set up. Just connect type a few commands and away it goes. I just don't have it set up at the omens and am having trouble with the power cord LOL. Thanks for the info.

Does a 701 running zombi work better than a 700 running zombi?

[Asus Transformer TF700] matt_simpson:
can any body tell me what battery life to expect, i am loving the rom but only getting between 3-4 hours battery, does the battery life get better with time?

thanks for any advice
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No not really. You can't have all the speed and battery life ;) Turn down the brightness. Turn down the performance to 1.3 or 1.4GHz, install with no tweaks, etc. You will get better battery life at the expense of speed.

Or do what I do and plug it in every couple of hours ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lamoid:
Thank you very much, Sam, for your detailed informative post. I learned a lot from it.

I have tried two configurations of. ZOMBI 5.1.1 B2: Internal with the Grimlock kernel, and rom2sd with the _that kernel. On my tf700t, the rom2sd installation was significantly faster.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
If you ever want a custom rom I wouldn't touch those 103 series with a 10 foot pole :silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Isham.padron:
Great ROM. After running Antutu i expected the old TF700 to be a lil faster but I forgot how old this thing is. I know its not all about benchmarks and I just want to say i appreciate your work in keeping it alive.

I will say that boot up takes a long time. Once its up and running it seems to work well. Any way to speed the boot up?
[Asus Transformer TF700] macka84:
I know that asus seems to be steering away from android back to windows, and the few devices that they do make for android, usually have an intel x86 type processor, as oppose to ARM like the rest of the mobile world. Android has only recently offered official support to x86_64, as it was always designed for the ARM RISC instruction set. So any Android x86 devices (103c) released before android 5 would have been relying on the unofficial android x86 project, which was more aimed at putting android on laptops.

All this meens that the usual methods of cooking a rom would not work. recoveries would be a lot harder to port, and generally, you would be stuck with whatever firmware the manufacturer puts out. and because the rest of the world is still firmly supporting ARM processors, their arent going to be to many people trying to unlock, root, and customize.

Sad to say the days of the days of the android transformer are probably numbered.

That been said, Their are still options. Since Windows RT (ARM) fell on its face, intel have been doing a lot of work on power efficient processors, and seem close to catching up. Now I Hate windows 8 more then most, so just hang in with me, and you will see where I'm going with this.

Their are a lot of 10 inch, 2 in 1 windows laptops on the market at the moment. most come with about 2g ram, 8-16g solid state drive.

Now so long as the Bios / EFI isn't locked up, you can install The Android 4.4 x86 from a usb stick. Said stick can be set up using unetbootin. They are currently working on android 5, but it is not quite ready. I have 4.4 on my new laptop, and it comes stock, with root access, and it is fast. Most androis apps are still written to run on Dalvik, which also makes them compatible with ART, so their are only a couple of apps that are native ARM apps that won't work. One suck app is KODI / XBMC, however, they have compiled an android version for x86, so no probs their.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Don't fill your device with loads of apps? Don't shutdown (there really is no need)? Mine takes about 30 - 45 secs to boot. That doesn't feel like a long time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] treo700p:
Thank you, thank you for all the work on Zombiepop! I tried CroMi-X and Crombie-KK but still has random reboots, huge lag, and unresponsive black screen. I didn't have much better performance with Zombiepop until I reformatted date to f2fs. Now my problem is the huge battery drain even when the tablet is turned off. In 5 hours the tablet will be dead and I only have 5 of my own apps installed at the present time. I have tried all the options for Zombie install. Which choices have others used that has a good balance between performance and battery life? So far the best I have had was when I had Zombiepop 5.1 Beta 4 with default sbdags only Playstore and sync installed. Tried the same with 5.1.1 Beta 2 but battery only lasts 4 hours or less with watching 1 movie. I've also tried playing around with adjusting performance levels but will have not seen much of a difference. Anyone have suggestions on what combinations to try? I've reformatted several times, also have done advanced wipes but haven't seen the great performance I had with 5.1 beta 4. I'm currently using Grimlock with only Playstore and sync installed and performance set at 1600 Ghz and 1.7Ghz and I/O noop.

[Asus Transformer TF700] toolmanz:
Loving this ROM. Everything is stable with no glitches or problems - except for one bit of wierdness that is not a problem but odd. Never had this issue before on any ROM from sbdags.

Whenever I do a reboot - to backup - when the boot is nearing completion - it executes ES File explorer. Happens every time. Also most of the time when I wake it up after a sleep it executes as well.

It's almost like ES has been added permanently to the autoexec init.

Any thoughts on how to stop this behavior or perhaps what I did to make this happen in the first place? Tried changing kernels with no change.

This is a real dome scratcher but not a deal killer. Extremely happy with the ROM :thumbup:

Can someone help me figure out f2fs? I go into TWRP, I flash rom2sd.zip to make it modify the sd card. Then I choose wipe, advanced wipe, check data box, repair or change file system, change file system, f2fs

Formatting data using mkfs.f2fs

E:unable to wipe /data

E:unknown mtp message type: 1

E:error changing file system

...done

Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] Electron700:
To start this beta 2 version of the ROM is fantastic. It has brought my TF700 back from the closet.

I like the performance until....

i do have a shorter than expected run time and I will try some of the posted suggestions, but the problem arises when the battery indicates it is less than 15% (my low battery indicator point). While the system offers to turn on battery saver and without enabling the saver, the responsiveness seriously drops off. The notifications are nearly nonresponsive to swipe removal and in about 1/4 of the time if I press the power button to sleep, it won't resume without a reboot.

Also, i looked at the battery usage and while the chart shows at 15%, a usage of 85%, the summary of the listed 10 apps is only 38%.

Is there any information that i can collect to better describe this characteristic?

Even with this "disturbance" it is the BEST ROMand i want to thank everyone who has worked to make this happen - especially sbdags.......
[Asus Transformer TF700] qzmicro:
[SOLVED] Can't install or updates apps on play store.

I'd like to bump the last few comments complementing this ROM. It's amazing.

Secondly, I also have same issues posted above. I can't seem to update my gapps and/or install any applications from the google store. Any ideas? Anywhere I can download a good zip for installing the gapps? Is it specific to the ROM or just the OS version? Thanks so much, so very excited bout this!

-Tony

SOLVED: It was a fresh install. Wiped everything. Issue seems to be that I had to do a standard "format" on data prior to installing. Never had to do that before but it worked. Do not WIPE the partition, format it. :) That is it. Keep in mind it usually takes over an hour. Cheers!

CLARIFICATION: Standard format = LONG FORMAT ... In other words, no advanced option. ONLY use the format button and wait forever for it to format. I had my doubts that this would help, but after enough people suggested it, I tried it. It worked. Still have no idea why though.
