Long time lurker here.

Just to clarify based on my understanding and experience... you SHOULD be formatting from RECOVERY. You should NOT be formatting from the BOOTLOADER [emphasis for distinction]. I've noticed this mistake a few times in this thread.

Safe travels.

Stuck on TWRP

My machine was running fine other than it seemed to slow down whenever I disconnected from the keyboard. This was corrected by a reboot but now it is stuck in the Teamwin loop. When I connected it using Windows 8.1 and run adb devices it comes back with 0123456789ABCDEF. I have tried several commands but always get waiting for device. When I try abd logcat I get /sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found. Please tell me there is still hope?!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yes but this is not the place to discuss it. This is the dev thread for ZOMBi-POP. Your problem is not related to the rom. There are several threads in the Help/Q&A section with a similar problem. Read through them - your solution is probably there already. Post your problem there and we'll be happy to help. But not here.

Zombie tablet again

Hi again,

Did anyone have any insight on this issue?

It happened again this morning and from what I've seen it seems that it went out of memory but did not shutdown, instead it just won't wake up again.

Last Kmsg in attach if anyone can help.

Thanks for all the work in this amazing ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eZaCx:
I would also like to know more about this. I just fully refreshed my tablet, reunlocked bootloader, loaded up the B3 of this ROM with grimlock kernal, and set up F2FS. So far, everything is looking good, even OC'ed to 1.7Ghz and set up I/O noop. However, I recently saw that B4 was released a few days ago and few users pointed out the wake/power button issue. This is currently deterring me from upgrading. Any information on this would be great. I would also like some opinions on the whole grimlock/omni kernal ordeal. I read through a good 15-20 pages and couldn't get any accurate information. Some users pointed out issues with both; are both kernals still stable/reliable on B3/B4? Should I perhaps be looking at OMNI more so grimlock?

Thanks.

Also great ROM guys! Keep up the good work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] satnile:
I also have this not awakening TF700T requiring forced reboot to get it back to live. I too have installed B4 version of Zombi-pop and grimlock kernel with F2FS enabled.

Any idea what could be the problem here as it has happened to few of us?

thanks in anticipation.

Sleep of death could be caused by a number of things. It could be app related, rom related, kernel related, it is hard to tell. Need logs because on person's sleep of death could be totally different from anothers

[MENTION=2214565]terribell[/MENTION] - I would try to install the rom without those kernel tweaks and see if it makes a difference for you. Your logs look like your tablet it struggling to free up memory that it should be clearing before it gets to that point.

[MENTION=4715409]eZaCx[/MENTION] - All we can say is that your mileage will very depending on the tablet. No 2 tablets are created equally so for some reason some kernels work better then others on different devices. I would stick with what seems to work well for you :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The machine is on and responding to the power button presses. Maybe the screen isn't turning on?

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] once again thanks for the help.

In attach a zip with all the logs I got after the restart.

On the previous posts I've added zips with a collection of logs of the times where the same situation occurred, once with OMNI kernel and another with _thats kernel.

If you need I can post them again.

I've installed again the _thats kernel with 1600 as a limiter and without the extended tweaks as hardslogs as suggested, should this help? Or is it better to go back to the old settings and try to wait until the problem occurs again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Linuxguy1:
The stock JB display settings menu had an IPS+ setting that increased the brightness for use outdoors. I see no such setting in ZOMBi POP Beta 4. What happened to it ?

Is the display now always running in IPS+ mode ? Does it switch automatically from IPS to IPS+ as the brightness setting is increased ?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I'm running B4, which seems to be working well, including waking from sleep. However, sometimes it seems extremely slow. I do not own a keyboard. Tell me more about yours slowing down when disconnected from the keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
IPS+ was just a fancy marketing name for "more brightness". Now the whole range of possible brightness is simply mapped to the brightness slider.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
You got me curious....

I started to look around and here is what I got. I hope it can help you discover your 'missing' 256MB. I ran 'cat /proc/iomem' and it gave me RAM addresses that I put in a spreadsheet (attached) to create a RAM layout.

System RAM is 1002MB including 13.6MB of Kernel Text and Kernel Data. ram_console and frame buffers complete the 1GB RAM space. These are numbers from my current install: LP5.1 B4 build using Kernel version 3.1.10-that11+sbdags. You will probably get a different RAM layout depending on the kernel installed.

As suggested by sbdags I added up System, Apps and Free obtained from Settings - Apps - Running and it is exactly the same 967MB. I believe many of the apps that report RAM size also use the same info. Unfortunately, it doesn't explain how 967MB MemTotal (from 'cat /proc/meminfo' suggested by _that) fits into the System RAM, but at least I see how the 1GB RAM is divided up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
Thought I'd throw out that using the default (OMNI) kernel works considerably better than the _that OC kernel. I saw a little while back someone mentioning to use _that, but the difference between it and OMNI was night and day, at least for me. Lots of lag with _that...

Cranked OC to 1.7GHz, switched to noop scheduler, and this is by far the best I've seen this tablet, ever!

Spontaneous reboot

I was just browsing my Synology NAS through DS Audio. The tablet rebooted spontaneously. Any suggestions?

I haven't had the sleep of death problem yet though. I have also had it though that DS Audio spontaneously started playing music. I think both times was when I was watching a movie using BS Player, closed the lid, opened it again with the idea to resume the video and there it suddenly was... REM playing through my episode of Breaking Bad :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Open the /proc/last_kmsg after a spontaneous reboot - go to the end and read the last 20 lines or so and it will tell you why it rebooted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Having an adventure the past few days. First, my wife had a bout with cancer (she, we believe, punched its lights out). Second, I bricked my tablet (documented elsewhere in this thread).

But all praise and honor to Josh, who rescued me from what even he described as a near, near thing. I finally got my tab back, just today getting nvflash finished (safe from that issue again!). Now I've got beta 4 zombi-pop back on my internal and already am plotting to do again what got me in this trouble in the first place -- putting Linux on my external micro-sd and installing Kexec (which I'm really gonna have to be careful of this time 'round).

Thanks again, Josh. And thanks sbdags to a great rom in Zombi-Pop. My wife's sitting next to me, and life is (thank the Lord) peaceful at this moment.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Just to let you know I haven't updated the scripts to include the newest Zombi-Pop kernels. I keep getting distracted and I need to to find a way to just update them for anyone wanting to use the kexecboot. I definitely don't want anyone messing up their tablets because of that.

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Thank you for both the warning (I won't mess for now w/ it) and the encouragement (you intend to sooner or later get to it). I'd love to run Linux in an external partition on this baby.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Linuxguy1:
I need some of this. I'm running B4 on my TF700 without a keyboard and its extremely laggy. Almost to the point of being unusable.

Microsoft OneNote crash

I used Microsoft OneNote on Crombi-kk with no problems, but it seems to crash upon logging in with ALL releases of ZOMBi-POP and every kernal I've tried. Has anyone else had this issue?

Right now I am running ZOMBi-POP B4 with the /Data on the microSD Card formated as F2FS using the OMNI kernel.

I tried to take a logcat, but I'm not sure if I got what I needed.

This line seems to say I didn't have a data connection, but I definitely did.

E/0:1430115784(20242): Log Error: [0x80AA0052]: Can't sync - OneNote can't sync your personal notes with OneDrive because there is no data connection. Try again later.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
it's one of the options in the Installer ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
It's the default selection on B4 so if you didn't change the kernel option, that is what you are running..

I didn't change that from default..

Sounds like someone needs a clean install and F2FS data. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Re the kernels... I must say that after having my tablet entirely wiped (as in reformatted from the ground up after my unfortunate meeting with Kexec) the new _that kernel runs great on this baby. I may try the other one just for fun someday, but this pup is running fast and smooth with the _that kernel.

[Asus Transformer TF700] RSchlierbeck:
I have to agree. I was on _that kernal (clean install with format and wipe) and it really didn't feel as good as the Crombi install I came from. Did a dirty flash to OMNI , and there is a significant improvement in smoothness and speed without overclocking. Hopefully it will continue this way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
Does the OMNI kernel do F2FS?
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
Yep.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
I'm sorry, I meant to say DATA2SD.

(D'oh.)

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Nevermind, I went and checked my prev install. If we're talking about "New OMNI Kernel v1" then that's what I'm already running with F2FS on DATA2SD.

Derp derp derp!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Linuxguy1:
Define a clean install. I did a wipe from TWRP. What more should I do ?

I can't remember which option I selected for data. Which combination is fastest ? Can I do a reinstall using TWRP and the same B4 image I used in the first place ?

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

[Asus Transformer TF700] prefect47:
Sorry for asking this here, but... I let fastboot -w run tor 1.5h and it was still stuck on "erasing cache", is that normal? The userdata partition only took a minute or two.
[Asus Transformer TF700] prefect47:
According to this, fastboot gets stuck on the last partition in "fastboot -w". So I'm trying a manual "fastboot format cache" instead.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kf-ics-dan:
I was wondering the same thing. The little bit of research I did found that this is a Lollipop thing. Google decided not to include this feature. The workaround is to install Battery Percent Enabler from the Play Store by XDA developer kroegerama. It works very well. It's still the same battery shape, but it has the percentage marked in it. I wish it was the old round style meter, but this works, too.

Hope that helps!
[Asus Transformer TF700] prefect47:
This may be a stupid question, but if I select "F2FS user", is there another step I have to take to make it work (assuming that I've never used F2Fs on this device before) that selecting that in the ZombiPop installer? I'm installing internally.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bombaneutrons:
Thanks, I didn't know about it... will try this evening

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Hi, when using ROM to SD, you can use recent release of Gparted, which is able to format in F2FS.

For internal partition, a solution is to flash a custom TWRP which formats /data in F2FS.

The f2fs enabled TWRP is available here

I just installed this and I am impressed so far. The install went very well and it's all up and running.

One question, I selected Omni Launcher during the install. Is there a way to turn off the Google Search thing at the top of the screen?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Newest TWRP version 2.8.4 has the F2FS formatting feature available by default. Access through Wipe > Advanced, select just /data, hit "erase/change" button, select F2FS, and format.

[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
OK tried all this again and after hours of frustration this is what I have found...

I can install on External and it will boot and run. Chrome would cause it to spontaneously reboot, but dolphin browser worked fine.

What I then found was that if I took the card out the tablet would not boot up.

so I did a reinstall of Beta4 to internal and it would boot but no longer boot on external

Weird

Now for some more weird

I took that card out and put it into my other tab, running Zombi-X on both internal and Rom2SD (using Grimlock kernel from the last beta of Zombi-X) and it would boot into Lollipop and run with no problem

I even took a time lapse video of me switching between them(mainly because I wanted to play with timelapse video on my new toy more than anything else lol)

I am all done in now
[Asus Transformer TF700] Josephigloe:
I don't know if t j is has been mentioned but the home screen you can only see the top of the writing of zombi pop in the bottom right corner is it just me or a mutual problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Heh... you can have only so much fun wiping, installing, testing, before you have to take a break. NOT!! Hahahaha.

But interesting... I haven't tried running Zombi-Pop external with an older rom installed internal. Oh, boy... I see another set of wipes - reinstalls coming.... bwAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAaaaaaa.... thud.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Update. So, this morning I factory wiped both the internal and external installs on my tablet, then wiped /system manually just for good measure.

I then installed Zombi-X internal (used f2fs on /data) and installed Zombi-Pop external.

Some important differences this install. I did *not* install any launcher except the default Omni launcher. (Remember there have been issues with the Nova install, so I just decided forget it and go minimalist.) I *did* install f2fs and also left fsync disabled / turned off (the default for Zombi-Pop).

Launched into it and skipped (initially) enabling the network. In past installs, as soon as I did enable networking the entire system locked up, then rebooted itself. So I looked around a bit, unlocked developer options and enabled (under security) the installing of 3rd party software. The usual stuff, but I was wanting to see if I would lock it up changing settings. Nope. All good.

Under Settings > Performance it was running at only 1500, though 1800 was available. I tweaked it up to 1800, and it worked. But I pushed it back down, not wanting to make what has already not been all that stable any less so.

Okay, NETWORK.... I turned it on, waiting for the usual lockup. Which did not happen. Hey! Cool!

Playstore worked initially as well... but then did jam up when I tried doing an install / update of one program (google maps). Spontaneous reboot. Drat. Would it reboot and hang now, or would I get back in again?

Yes, I got in. In fact, I'm typing this with Tapatalk, another program I installed (google play did again reboot the tablet when I ran the tapatalk install but did manage to finish the install before the reboot). Again opened up google play once it loaded the 3rd time, and again installed a program. Same result. Program downloaded and installed but the tab rebooted itself.

So... there's the story. I'm stickin' with it... til I find a better one. ;) One other note... when I reboot into Zombi-Pop (this happened on internal as well when I had it there) there were leftover programs from the previous session still running in the background. I think maybe there's an issue with improperly exiting programs or some such? Sorry can't be more helpful.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well looks like an fsync issue potentially. With ROM2SD you should really turn it off. But also you are getting this error which suggest something is not quite right with the kernel and the corresponding modules. Which kernel did you install?

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Darn it, I installed Grimlock. Thought for sure I did _that or else the default kernel. How in a sentence can I replace *just* the kernel of this install? (Not something I've done before.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well if you had a installer to just do the kernel it would be easy. I'll do some later in the week for testing.

Just flash again with _that or stock over the top. ;)

[MENTION=4862550]Linuxguy1[/MENTION], [MENTION=4140296]Soul TKR[/MENTION]:

First make sure you have a newer TWRP, preferably 2.8.4 or LJ's 2.8.6 Kang. Do a complete format of /System, /Data, and /Cache. This will seem to take forever but DO NOT INTERRUPT IT, let it finish even if it takes 2 hours. Plug it in if necessary. Then change the filesystem of /Data ONLY to F2FS (in Advanced Wipe). Then install the ROM, with _that OC or Omni kernel, minimal or no GAPPs. This seems to be the magical combination for this ROM. And it seems to prefer internal installs, rather than ROM2SD or DATA2SD, which is great for me, it's what I prefer also.

I just this evening read a report of a 700 owner that had always had lag problems, then removed the tab from the keyboard dock--and it ran fine! After 2 years or so. Another 700 user still on stock ROM never had any lag problems--until he nearly filled his 64MB internal storage. His lag disappeared again after cleaning it out. Lag can be caused by all sorts of stuff it seems.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
+1.

I would also temporarily set the max speed to 1600MHz the first chance I get until all apps have been installed and configured.

Mine was once laggy and rebooting in the beginning. It seemed to clear up the problems after I went and wiped cache and dalvik in TWRP. My tablet has been smooth and a joy to use ever since. Thanks to sbdags et al for their great achievements and hard work!

Found a great combination

I've been trying to find a good combination of kernals and settings for B4, and finally found this giving me the best Antutu/Quadrant scores I've found. 23600 and 8000 respectively.

B4, Internal (dirty), SBDags fastest 1600 x 1000 kernel, 1600mhz, and pretty much defaults from there.

The screenshots tell the story...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Looks like it has booted into 1920x1080 during your antutu test, had that happen a few times to me as well, but it won't affect your score much. I run the same setup with good results, currently testing launchers to see what difference it makes on the lag that is still there, so far the Omni launcher appears to be the lightest and fastest for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Linuxguy1:
How do you have the file system set up ? Did you wipe or did you reformat ?

Is that kernel an install option or where did you get it ?

I'd love my TF700 if it was responsive.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fonetval:
I must say that I was trying many combination of tunings too, just to get higher Quadrant scores, but the thing is that it is not relevant to evaluate the comfort of user experience.

For now, my best score is 8989 (never reach the 9000 :eek:) with a data2sd/f2fs with _that kernel, all optimizations of SBDags even Fsynch off... But still very laggish mainly when app update / playstore happened.

Now, I have a new youngth of my tf700 with the "all internal/ Omni kernel" option of the aroma installer with those tweaks (OC to 1700 / force gpu in devOpt and performance / noop as governor-E/S option) : my very best experience with a mere "only" 6800-7000 Quadrant score... No more lags for now....

Every one seems to have different experience with this "strange" device :rolleyes:...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Linuxguy1:
Are these lags occurring with or without the keyboard ? I'm wondering if the TF700 goes into some sort of power saving mode when the keyboard isn't connected and if that can be over ridden.

I hate to say it, but my TF700 was more responsive with the stock setup. I played with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S yesterday and it was much faster and way more responsive.

I've been using Linux for 15 years on all sorts of machines. I've never found the file system type to be a huge determinant of speed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Linuxguy1:
Do any of these kernels/OS provide better support for transferring files to/from a PC ? I have to say that iFuse works much better with Apple products on my Linux box than MTP does.
