ROM has been great after a dalvik and cache wipe. However now mxplayer plays but it locks if I try to skip or ffwd\rew has anybody had a similar problem.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Well I found a solution I think it was when I installed beta 6. I just in the reinstalled MX player and runs perfect again
[Asus Transformer TF700] RADiuMOz:
I downloaded TricksterMod - and assume I have Grimlock (and not Grimlock-Lite) (default 5.1 beta 6 installation) - but can't find either of those two settings under Specific: are they only in the donate-version? I'm happy to buy it, but want to ensure it actually has those settings first :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Ahem - the one doesn't have anything to do with the other?

You really should learn to use fastboot. Sooner or later it'll save your bacon. How are you going to flash a recovery if Android doesn't boot?

Read this for instructions to get fastboot working: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688891

That said, yes you can use Flashify but download TWRP yourself and make sure it identifies the correct partition to flash to: mmcblk0p4
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
Or if you have a custom recovery installed already you can grab a flashable zip from here ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Default is _that kernel.

You dont need the donate version of trickstermod to modify any grimlock parameters so my guess is you are running that kernel ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RADiuMOz:
Apologies - I was actually using Omni. I ran AnTuTu with Omni, then did a dirty-flash with Grimlock (full) and ran AnTuTu. Completely forgot to run TricksterMod and try out Despicable Me (Minion Rush) - my benchmark game :) and am just finishing dirty-flashing _that. So I'll have to go back to Grimlock and try the settings you gave me (unless _that somehow turns this thing into a speed-demon :D)

Once it's up and running, I'll run AnTuTu again, and then post my results.

Btw - when dirty-flashing, should you wipe the Dalvik cache (recommended option) as well? I did, but only because it was recommended.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes it always helps to clean down dalvik every now and then. For some reason some old apps get left in their if you do a lot of uninstalling and messing around with apks manually.

_that will offer you OC options. Turn off fsync + f2fs and hit 'em hard ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RADiuMOz:
I turned that off whilst dirty-flashing _that (was recommended seeing as I'm using F2FS anyway).

Haven't had a chance to use those scripts, yet, but here are the AnTuTu results for Omni, Grimlock & _that. _that is the clear winner, although I don't particularly notice it in real usage (but I haven't used the tablet that much since flashing).

With any of these three kernels, the tablet is VERY usable, now - just a shame that it took 3 years to happen - thanks again everyone involved in this (sbdags, _that, lj50036, hardslog - and anyone else I might have missed. I'll definitely be staying up to date with each new release.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
The comments re _that kernel being faster are true for me as well... but along with that I've noted Omni runs more smoothly. For instance, when I charge over night and unplug / replug the unit, then open it to continue working / playing, Omni cooperates. The _that kernel tends to give me one of those "system UI" messages, and sometimes hangs up a bit before allowing me to continue. I've even gotten a few black screens I couldn't get out of -- forced to reboot.

When I use the Android browser, I note that with _that if I close the tablet with browser open it often hangs again. Omni more often than not opens up seamlessly and without complaining.

So in my "real life" use, I don't notice Omni being slower... Antutu saying it is not having real application. What I *do* notice is Omni being quietly functional in the best way. Anyone else noting this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Precisely the same experience
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
i use also the omni build, but i get the "waiting for this and that, wait/kill" dialogs. so not only kernel related.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I guess this is mostly a question of configuration. What I/O schedulers were in use with both kernels? (don't say "the defaults" please)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soul TKR:
Attempting this now.... No GAPPS means I won't be able to use my Google Play store correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Interactive (in both)

Noop (in both)

1700 (in Omni) 1800 (_that)

Thanks for asking.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That is what I use as well - noop
[Asus Transformer TF700] kevinthefixer:
No GAPPs=no Play Store, no Google Maps, no Google Text-to-Speech, Voice Search, homescreen search bar, all that bloat goes away. I suggest searching for alternatives to any that you might actually use; for instance I get most of my apps from Amazon App Store. You can still search Google from any browser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RADiuMOz:
I use the same settings, too.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

It's funny you wrote about Omni seeming smoother, etc. I was thinking the same thing last night, but thought perhaps I was just imagining it and decided I'd give the _that kernel some extra time to prove itself. I'll change back over the weekend and see how it goes (and probably Grimlock as well).

Have you tried Grimlock, and if so - do you still find Omni smoother?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I haven't messed much with the other kernel flavors. In fact, up until recently, I always went _that kernel. In large part because _that is dang smart and has been involved in all sorts of great stuff for our tablets. But due to sbdags defaulting to Omni, I decided to try it. Initially was unhappy it went to only 1700 (I want an amp that goes to 11!). But now wonder if it might be possible part of my issue w/ _that kernel is that 1800 is just a touch too fast for the hardware. Not that it shows up like that... instead, like I said, it seems more to be about waking up if an app (esp. browser) is running when it goes to sleep. But the real geeks here are going to have to answer that one....
[Asus Transformer TF700] N1FFO:
Great, Except for one thing...

I'm running beta 5 on my TF700T. Grimlock OC kernel, /data (and, therefore, the internal SD) formatted as f2fs, no browser2ram, noop io scheduler. All in all, it works VERY well. It lags occasionally, but nothing like it used to.

I only have one problem, though. Operations which attempt to write to the SD card fail with some variety of "Insufficient space available" problem. This despite the fact that df shows several gigs available. Google hasn't helped much, I've tried a few things that were mentioned without success.

I've also got Lollipop on my OnePlus One and, aside from the filesystem, I can't seem to find any significant difference that would indicate why the TF700T isn't working. Has anyone got any ideas about how to debug this? Should I try the Omni or _that kernel? Something else?
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Thanks for the link. The tab is at home so I'm not sure if I have CWM or TWRP on there but I'll check. I know I have a custom for sure.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Bern, my comment about staying on internal was directed at sb who's mentioned to go to the external version (to me) a few times because of how ****ty our internal memory is :D I was trying to head off the comment I saw coming down the pipe. I'm also quite familiar with fastbooting as I've used that on everything from a Viewsonic G pad and an HTC flyer on up to an Nvidia Shield ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
One small but for obvious reasons annoying issue... with about 10 to 15 percent of battery showing, I suddenly run out of power and find out I have when the tablet just shuts down, no warnings issued. And it is abrupt and total. Wondering if down the beta pike we could find a way to (I know, I know....) get both batteries' charges showing and also maybe get a warning message before shutdown that sudden.

Hey, sbdags and the crew.... not like you need anything more to do.... hehehe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
OK, then I can't really explain why you are seeing these performance differences. It's always hard to pinpoint such problems if we don't have a independently reproducible test case.

If the clock speed is really too fast for your device, it will either crash or throttle when it gets too hot. In the second case, you should get messages about enforcing the EDP limit in the kernel log (dmesg).

A physical SD card? Was it formatted FAT32 and you tried to write a file > 4 GB?

Showing both battery states will be possible with some software changes. The required data is available in sysfs already now, so it's just a matter of showing it in the UI. The sudden shutdown means that the battery meter is miscalibrated, which we probably can't fix (I guess this is managed by the embedded controller), but which might correct itself.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Re the logs, totally understood. I'm usually caught at a moment when I'm actually working (writing) and don't want to forget what it was I was doing. So I end up skipping gathering up the logs. Sorry, I'll try to do better.

Re clock speed... your description convinces me further that isn't the issue... my tab runs fairly cool even at 1800. I have for instance repeatedly run Antutu speed tests without any issue. Only in one of the earlier beta versions of this rom did I notice significant heat -- I think one of the 5.0 versions.

Will check the dmesg in kernel log should this come up again.

I realize that the statistical surety of the logs is continually under assault by the narrative uncertainty of people's "impressions" of "stuff happens" to their tablets. There's a deeper philosophical / theological point to all that, but this ain't the place. Heh. But... MORE LOGS. Yessir.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I didn't even say logs, I said "test case". And I know that it's very hard to make one. Something like "operation X always takes 2.5 to 3.5 seconds on kernel A and always takes 2.0 to 3.0 seconds on kernel B".

Maybe someone could play with ftrace to measure block I/O request latencies (needs kernel config changes, a userspace tool and lots of reading to understand it :)).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I will release this tomorrow. :) Many thanks to the team for getting this done. It's the smoothest yet! :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] braddles69:
well done!

Just fyi, I tried this rom last week by formatting /data to f2fs and flashing rom with sdbags default options, however felt it was a bit laggy and not as responsive as crombi kk, so went back.

Still kept reading this thread and again yesterday, had a go and it is much better than last effort. Followed Bernd's advice I think which was to 1) Wipe data

2) Format data as ext4

3) Change /data to f2fs

4) Flash rom

5) Reboot and profit

Really nice job sdbags, et al thanks for your hard work, very nice to use and quite smooth.

Now just waiting for [MENTION=5625510]kansasboy001[/MENTION] to have a go at getting the Asus weather widget and dock battery widget ;)

Thansk again devs for your hard work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
ZOMBi-POP 5.1.1 Beta 1 up!

Go get it - the latest ZOMBi-POP beta is up now based off Android 5.1.1! Enjoy and thanks to all of the team :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] corb06:
Thanks! =)
[Asus Transformer TF700] relaps:
stable so far (5.1.0)

First of all, thank you thank you thank you for doing the work to keep our forgotten devices relevant. I thought I would share my experience.

I came from crombi on rom2sd and the responsiveness was declining when it came to waking the device and boot times. It's possible it needed a reflash but I am not in the habit of flashing on a regular basis.

I'm using twrp 2.8.x.x

My first time to flash zombi, I was getting consistant error: phone.android.com stopped or something to that effect which persisted so bad I couldn't hardly even unlock the device. I reflashed and got same result so I then downloaded the zip file again and flashed it and got better result.

This latest flash was rom2sd (ext4) as well using pretty much all the default settings (can't remember what the default kernel was). **kernel was 3.1.10-that11+

The first couple of boots, the play store could not update apps nor download new apps, so I sideloaded the latest play store apk from sideload website and got the same results. Everything that was already installed was working well and sideloading was working.

I was willing to deal with the error for a while before jumping ship just to poke around the new os. I rode this boot til it degraded to unresponsive lockscreen... reboot

tahdah, all of a sudden apps are updating succesfully in play store.

It's hard to know when a reboot will help and not hinder the settling in process.

-So far the boot times seem acceptable.

-The UI is decently responsive (omni is what I'm using).

-Keyboard dock keys retain almost all of the functionality, nothing funky that I have experienced.

-Keyboard dock Sd card reader works

-keyboard dock usb port works

-as has been previously mentioned, the keyboard dock battery status is not reported

-battery life and standby behavior is satisfactory

So far an overall net improvement from my previous flash.

I use google play music for live event music and waiting for the tablet to respond in order to play/change music was becoming a liability, this seems to have remedied that issue within reason.

I am very pleased to have lollipop on my transformer and I look forward to really putting this rom to the test.
[Asus Transformer TF700] N1FFO:
Apologies for writing as I was trying to head out the door and not being as detailed as I could have. My problem is not with an external SD card, but the internal "SD" card mounted at /storage/emulated/0 (and /storage/emulated/legacy, and /mnt/shell/emulated and /data). The filesystem is formatted f2fs.

My problem is that all downloads from Dolphin Browser (only browser I've got installed) fail with "insufficient storage" type errors. But the problem isn't restricted to Dolphin Browser, TitaniumBackup refuses to do backups because it believes there's not enough storage available on the "SD" card. "df" reports around 30G available, though. Shell commands and "adb push" have no problem writing to the internal storage.

I thought that perhaps TWRP Manager's "SD Card Patch" or SuperSU's "Mount Namespace Separation" might affect things but, having tried with all four combinations of the two settings, it's still not working.

The problem seems to lie in the Android APIs somewhere, since shell programs (which, presumably, use the Linux kernel APIs directly) work just fine. But I'm not sure where to go from here. I wonder if the Xposed Framework could reveal some more information or fix the problem, but that seems like more than should be necessary (I've never installed Xposed on any of my devices, so I'm just guessing here). I could also write an app to try out some APIs for writing to the internal storage and see what kind of errors I get.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aldai2:
I think I read somewhere that only the data directory must be formatted F2FS and not system directory but I'm not sure.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes only the /data partition should be changed to F2FS. Well you can change the others but your device won't be very usable ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Interesting problem. I have no idea what this could be. Tell us when you find out more. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] moondance48:
Can we dirty flash on top of B6?
[Asus Transformer TF700] foothill17:
I did

I did and it seems fine so far. Always do a backup first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I did too :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] relaps:
Please direct me to the right thread if this is the wrong place for my inquiry. Is there a way to format just the data partition on my sd card (it's setup for rom2sd) to f2fs using windows or the gparted boot disk or twrp 2.8.5.0? I was going to try it in twrp but i'm scared i'm going to erase the contents of internal storage. Is there a way to do it in twrp without formatting internal storage? I am away from home and only have a windows 8 machine with me. I've tried to find a tutorial about this but to no avail. Everything I've read seems to be for using twrp to format internal storage. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Giants2010:
I just wanted to finally give my thanks to sbdags and whoever else contributed to this rom. A little under a year ago when I was moving I was going to toss this thing in the trash. I thought hey why not check XDA on the off chance that someone's trying to resurrect this stupid thing. Holy sh t low and behold! Starting with the update before this last one I finally felt like this is how this tablet should have run when I bought the thing. With today's update it's even smoother. I will say that going through the formatting data and then switching to F2FS made a butt load of difference. It's an important step you gotta take to get this thing smooth. I only repeat that because I can tell some of the people with lagging issues are just dirty flashing, especially if they bring up Crombi cause its not even close. So there's my two cents and thank you. I really appreciate all the work that has gone into this. And once again congratulations in regards to your wife, that's great :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Frobbit:
The new ROM works great for me. Very fast and enjoyable. I thought also I'd just say that my 2bg+ movie still don't want to play:crying: Still worth keeping though; thanks to the dev for this!

As a side note, when I format data or when I change data to F2FS, I get the following error: 'data/media/0' '/sdcard' process ended with ERROR=255

It seems like formating still works though as the file system gets changed, but I was just curious if this error could indicate a problem with my setup/system. I am using TWRP_tf700t_kang_2.8.6.1 recovery and bootloader 10.6.1.14.10.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Download lj's Kang TWRP 2.8.6.x as a flashable zip and replace your current recovery with it. The thread is here in the Development subforum.

It'll let you format ext/data. The official TWRP does not support this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] relaps:
Thank you I'm trying it now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
error: 'data/media/0' '/sdcard' process ended with ERROR=255

This is a non-error the recovery tries to mount /data/media/ before it has been recreated .....

It does get recreated so there is no real harm done ...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] relaps:
Thank you sir. The zip was quick and painless. And the formatting was a cinch. I flashed the new 5.1.1 Rom. Everything seems stable. I'll report back when she's good and burnt in.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
The ante has been upped yet again!

So I dirty flashed the new 5.1.1 Rom and when everything finished and the tablet rebooted, I was very surprised at just how much faster it is than B6! And that's after dirty flashing not wiping, formatting and converting from ext4 to f2fs!!! :D

I chose a fairly stock install including F2fs, thats kernel and fsync off as well as a top speed of 1700 MHz.

I'm hoping the battery improvements will show up soon, perhaps after it settles a bit, but so far I've dropped 5% in 20 minutes.

I am happy to have the battery percentage added to the ROM though, that is a nice touch!

This ROM just gets better and better all the time! :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Okay, I have the honor of posting the first log... but why? Well, I noted that my tab was running at only 1600, despite the fact I'd factory wiped and installed (internal) sbdag's default fastest settings. Weird. So I tweaked the system/boot/preinit.cfg file from (as I suspected) its 1600 reading to 1800. Upon rebooting this, I got the system ui crash message upon initial appearance of the launcher screen (Nova my default). So... my logs. One day I'll have to learn to read these pups myself.

But THANK YOU for these roms... I enjoy em when they are flawless and like being in my small way a part of helping sbdags, josh, and others get 'em right.

Added: I had a major meltdown right before posting the zip file attached here, but after creating it. The system got so unstable I had to reinstall, and this time I picked Omni kernel out of paranoia.

The logs:
[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
I'm having the same problem on Zombi-Pop 5.1.1 as 5.1. Video larger than 2GB will not play.

See the summary post here.

There is a problem on Zombi-Pop 5.1.1 Beta 1 and 5.1 Beta 6 with loading video files larger than 2GB. It doesn't appear to be a problem with MX Player.

In summary:

- CROMBi-KK (latest) on the TFT700T will play M4V video files > 2GB no problem using MX Player (Tegra3 Codec).

- Lollipop 5.1 Build LMY470 on the Nexus 7 2013 will play M4V video files > 2GB no problem using MX Player (ARMv7 NEON Codec).

- Zombi-Pop 5.1.1 Beta 1 AND 5.1 Beta 6 will only play M4V files < 2GB. Files over 2GB results in an error in MX Player (Tegra3 Codec).
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I must have missed your logcat, can you post the link again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
sbdags default limits the CPU to 1600 so that is to be expected ;)

I don't see any issues with 1800. Some devices just can't handle it though and yours may fall into that category.
