Hi XDA men, I'm trying without success to flash this zombies b10 with Data2SD. My microSd is a 64GB with 2 partitions (strictly the same that mentioned in the OP: 16gb fat32/48gb ext with GParted) and when I flash with the "DATA2SD" Aroma option, it's an internal install that happens :mad:!

No error or warning during or at the end of install process....

On boot, I've got - shortly after the tuxedos- the message "partition detected but not usable for Data2SD (fs: ).

I know that it's possible to edit the 20detect-microsd file to" force" the detection to ext4, but my problem is that the microSd is totally empty and I can't install anything on it (always internal happened)...

How can I get out this "vicious circle" ? Any help appreciate :o!

(PS : [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], very glad to see you back active on the tf700t developments and hope everything get better for your wife. Keep fighting)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
When I change background processes to no more than 4, and then reboot, it changes back to "standard". Is there a way to force the change to be persistent through a re boot? Like you, I'm just trying different things to see if it improves. I did disable "bootanimation.zip" to see what happens. Seems faster on booting(placebo effect??), and does seem a little smoother operating(again,placebo effect?? probably). As long as I stay away from Chrome and Dolphin, and just use the default browser, it really works well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kenryan:
Do not install this unless you read at least the last dozen or so pages of this thread. This is a beta ROM, and as such it assuredly has bugs.

If you are expecting a clean, daily-driver level of completeness you will be disappointed. That day will come - the developers doing this work are top-notch - but that day is not today.

If you are installing it expecting to help test and provide troubleshooting feedback, you will very much enjoy participating in the bleeding edge of an excellent piece of work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Killing 2 birds with one stone :)

There is no dev who does Omnirom on the tf700t so perfect opportunity for [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] to step in and save the day. [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] wants something to play with so why not use omni that is already being worked on instead of trying another base?

So we let those 2 do their thing, and I'll make sure the tea stays hot for them.

This sounds like there is a formatting issue with the second partition on your sdcard. Are you sure you formatted it as EXT4 and not another type of EXT?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
Don't you have to flash "data2sd1" first, to tell TWRP you are working with external SD card, then flash the rom and select Data2SD in Aroma?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fonetval:
yes, I'm sure (unfortunatly).... I did it 4 times.... and the 48gb ext4 partition works well when mount as "normal" stotage/sdcard1... Perhaps i have to first install another older ROM crombi with data2sd feature to "initialize" it ? [MENTION=2460670]ldb[/MENTION]lake: I did it too.... No more success :crying:

Thanks all for all your very quick response / help! I love this XDA community.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
NO. You don't need to flash data2sd1 first. This is built into the Aroma installer and if you select data2sd in the installer this gets flashed automagically.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eman0608:
Yesterday I decided to go from beta 7 to beta 10. Both installs were internal. Haven't attempted data to sd yet. Beta 7 was still a little laggy and I had experienced 2-3 reboots with beta 7. So far with installing beta 10, the only lag I have experienced was when I was installing all of my apps. After all of the apps were installed, I rebooted and so far no lag whatsoever. No random reboots yet with beta 10 which is really good. Keep up the good work sbdags!! Its gettin better every time.

[Resolved] Data2SD unrocognize ext4 partition : GParted version problem !

My problem is now resolved :victory: !

After all my tries, I have downgraded my "gparted-live-0.21.0-1-i586.iso" image to my old "gparted-live-0.17.0-4-amd64.iso" and I did the formatting process again (exactly the same way) and... no more problem !

I dont have any tools to watch precisely the TypeId of the partition, but : or the code has changed and the auto-detection script does not properly detect it anymore, or there is a bug in the latest version of gparted...

(I let some others make the test to confirm, and if it's the truth, I think that an update of the OP would be nice)

Now, I'm going to play with my "brand new" TF700T :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] winfan:
in Beta 10, i there a way to have the Governor and IO Scheduler settings stick? When I select alternatives, only Interactive and bfq stay. This is even after a reboot. Also I've noticed lag when using Chrome Beta although not so much with Dolphin Browser.

odex?

So i tried to odex this lolipop rom and it won't work in 5.0

works fine is 4.4 kitkat.

Is there anyway to odex this?

i used the method below

Thank you!

A bit off topic but none the less can I just thank everyone who has been offering support and kind words on xda for my wife who has been battling cancer for the last 8 months.

She gets all the messages from you guys passed on and every little bit cheers her up and supports her. She says a huge thank you for all the love thrown her way from people she doesn't really know but know me through this site. So a massive thank you from both of us!!!

She has her final appointment with the specialist tomorrow so hopefully it will be to close this chapter and she can start getting her/our life back on track. Thank you everyone!!

hi guys uhm i flash this rom for 3 times but i still experience lag on ui kinda slow in transition i flashed it through microsd do i need to flash this on internal sd? im kinda confused i read some post here that the ui is smooth and responsive i hope you could give me advice on this thank you!:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
This rom is still in beta and takes a long time to settle in. My advice is flash it, go through basic setup, then walk away for an hour or two.

You also may need to format data to get a real clean experience on this. You will loose everything on internal, so backup first, format (takes 90 minutes or more), reflash the rom and give it plenty of time to settle in.

It doesn't matter if you flash the rom installation file from internal or external. It may make a difference if you flash it TO external as data2sd or rom2sd, but those are brain teasers. Takes a few hours of reading to get the concept. And then give your brain a couple of days to let it settle in :D

If you are having problems with rom2sd or data2sd it is like to be your card.

Follow the instructions in post 3 to post a dmesg please. This might show up in that log.

If you have created the partitions in anything but gparted in linux then it will definitely be your card causing the issue. If your card is too fast (i.e., > 50MBs) it can be the card causing it too. Cards around 30MBs seem to work better in my experience.

If you can flash rom2sd1 and format data you can alleviate a lot of issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
Which kernel are you running on to get that? did you apply all tweaks or take them off?

Which governor and which scheduler?

I'm running _that V11 at the moment but have capped it to 1600 because i was getting random reboots at 1800
[Asus Transformer TF700] kf-ics-dan:
I'll have to carve out a bit of time to try out this rom! This looks as good or better than Zombi-X. It's roms like these that keep me from kicking my TF700 to the curb!

So, do I get credit for the Zombi-pop name? :laugh: Just kidding! You can have it free of charge. Just keep up the good work!! :cool:

I plan on an internal install and will report any issues. Thanks for all the hard work!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] bplzip:
Don't think this has been mentioned yet: when running Zombi-POP on ROM2SD sdcardi is not accessible.

Enjoying this new ROM and am anxiously awaiting next beta releases. I really appreciate the efforts of the developers which continue to keep the TF700 tab relevant. Many thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
_that11 kernel

All tweaks applied except the browser tweak (I've never found it helpful; it wouldn't be a likely problem if applied, however)

Governor - interactive (the default)

Scheduler - bfq (I think default? I did muck about in there a bit)

1800 full throttle. No issues whatever as long as I run *internal only*

As I've said rather too many times here, external rom2sd is not working for me. I did turn off all the tweaks when I did a rom2sd install last time, including the one re fsync (default is fsync off, I turned it back on, which slows things but is safer) -- but I digress from my great internal rom results.

TWRP version 2.8.4

One note: once in a while while doing an install, I wipe system as well as doing the default factory wipe. That may be redundant, but ya never know.

Back to my wrestling w/ the external... think I'm gonna reformat the entire thing again via gparted. And for the record, my micro-sd is a Samsung EVO 128g chip (works fine w/ Zombi-X, no love so far with Zombi-Pop).

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

I'm going to reformat my micro-sdcard, a Samsung EVO 128g my sons bought me as a Christmas present this year. If it errors again on me, I'll really try to buckle down and get you some error logs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
What format is data partition on your samsung card - f2fs or ext4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Josephigloe:
Thank you so much you have brought life back to my tablet...I almost chalked it up as a lost. Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i installed Zombi-pop on Internal, but haven't gotten around to restoring any apps as i've been chugging along on my ROM2SD re-install (with fsync On).

so far (~12 hrs) so good.

btw, i'm also using a Samsung EVO SD Card though mine is 64GB, but that probably isn't the issue since it was working fine for you with Zombi-kk on ROM2SD. hopefully the reformat will fix your issue :fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I noticed this too. It's minor and I know how to fix - datai is till available so you can use this.

You are welcome :) There's still life in the old dog just yet ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
sdbags... as promised. I have no idea if anything here will be helpful. Both were taken soon after a spontaneous reboot in the rom2sd install of the rom. I hope there's a clue somewhere.

I *may* later today try a 64g microsd card. But it has a lot of my backup stuff on it, so not sure I want to endure the headache of backing up a backup. :eek:

Thank you so much for your hard work... thanks again to the whole team.

And a couple of minor notes:

1. The "Nova" launcher selection selects Apex instead.... but ONLY on an external install. I verified that more than once.

2. Though the installer says the default setting for "Force GPU Rendering" for 2d is on, the truth is under settings it is off unless manually enabled.

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
Got a Samsung Evo 32gb card for cheap so I tried, for the first time, a rom2sd installation of Zombi-pop. All I can say is wow! I don't know why I waited so long to try it out. This card is much faster than the internal. You've done it again sbdags!!

Cheers :good: :highfive: :victory:

By the way, I am not having the problem you are speaking about regarding the sd card not being accessible. Not sure what's different, but it works fine for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmmm your kernel panicked as you ran out of memory so it rebooted. Did you change the memory killer settings under performance?

There are no differences between internal and external so I don't get how that could happen with Apex. Will try myself.

Force GPU worked fine for me so that is weird too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ashahin1:
This ROM is Great

Thank you so much for such a great ROM. This is the first time I try the ZOMBI series, as I was using the CROMBi-kk before. My impressions was WOW :good:.

I want just to report couple of tiny problems:

- Changing the background gives me only black screen.

- Trying to use the Guest user reboots the tablet.

- Under settings, the Buttons section is almost blank.

- The portrait mode, I know reported it before.

FYI, I did an internal install, using the default settings for almost every thing, except the bootanimation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
Try Settings->Display->Wallpaper vs. the long-press on the screen to select new background.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ashahin1:
Thank you. I tried this. I noticed that the black screen issue happens only to the default themes of the Google Now launcher. It works if I selected any other image or live wallpaper.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I didn't change anything under performance.... don't think I even had much of a chance to, that go-round. hehe.

Re Apex, if you don't get that result, I'm gonna start thinking my micro-sd is haunted.

Thanks, sdbags.

I can attest to this. I haven't had a great experience in a while with this tablet, even with all of the factory resets between ROMs. It wasn't until I completely wiped data last week that I fell in love with this tablet again. Also after letting it settle in, a few reboots helps as well. Now it's blazing. :laugh:

Also glad to hear the news sdbags!

Question

I've never understood the interaction between Internal and External when flashing R2SD.

I'm almost exclusively using Rom2SD, with 5.4 _thatv11 on Internal. I always flash R2SD with a clean formatted external SD card.

What is taken from internal and used with the R2SD and why does it make a difference if it's another rom internally?

Just wondering.

Thanks,

lmm
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Both ROMs share one kernel. And to boot the external ROM, there must be some files in the internal /system/boot directory.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Technically (and I have never tried this) you could have nothing on internal;.

As long as you install a compatible kernel internally it may work. It also creates the /system/boot folder and files for you at the time of flashing rom2sd.

That is why in the installer when you flash ROM2SD it asks you if you need to upgrade your internal kernel to _that v11 at the same time.

Never got around to testing it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
If both Roms on Rom2sd share the same kernel, how can I have my custom build of that 11 with f2fs for cromi on internal and grimlock on external
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Only if you add something like kexecboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You haven't ;)

You have _that 11 (with f2fs on internal) and the grimlock ramdisk using preinit scripts to boot to rom2sd but it is still using the _that kernel off internal.

Check the device settings. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
I haven't done any serious testing with this but I always had a problem with the tablet freezing then having to reboot and horrible battery, but after switching the kernel to ondemand it seems to behave a little better and definitely battery lasts. Anyone else chime in?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Derp guess I don't. I could with kexecboot though right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I did use ondemand for a while but found it made the device hotter. But yes technically you will undo some tweaks by choosing on demand which may be less aggressive than I set for interactive.

Never tried it but _that says it is possible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] djkidd:
I'm sorry but this is probably a newb question, but is this the kernel you are using: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230059

By what I read, it seemed like people running KK are using this, so will work on Lollipop?

It's included in the installer.

[Asus Transformer TF700] markus.heikkila:
After some frustrating and little scary failures with DATA2SD and ROM2SD I finally managed to get beta 10 and DATA2SD running! BIG improvement over crombi-kk on internal so far!

Some observations:

- Google experience launcher does not work for me, I get black screen with buttons and notification/status area, can't find application drawer button to change launcher :)

- Nova launcher works well once I got there

- When not lagging, noticeably more responsive than internal crombi-kk where I came from. This is what I was after :)

- Can't find keyboard dock battery status anywhere, not a big deal

I still occasionally get severe lag (more like total freeze for a few minutes, load is somewhere around 13-15 according to cpu use overlay I have switched on) that seems to be related to one of two things:

- live wallpaper

- facebook and other constant network users & jumping in and out of WiFi connectivity

I removed some unnecessary network user widgets and switched to ordinary wallpaper, haven't frozen (yet) after that but it's too soon to tell as its weekend and I'm staying on my home WiFi.

All thing considered though, seems to work well. I'm staying on Zombi-pop and looking forward to new improved releases, big thanks to the team!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes google apps seem to be getting more bloated and broken with every google release. I have switched to Nova Launcher as well as it is bar far the best of the ones for smoothest and usability right now.

There is no keyboard dock battery yet.

Facebook is evil. Do a search and you will see that it kills performance on most lollipop roms right now. Just use the web page not their app and you will be much happier.
[Asus Transformer TF700] das chaos:

Not only on lollipop ROMs! Also on Windows browsers. Facebook is one of the most ill programmed sites on internet; they're choking in the greed to leech your personal data and shove more ads up your a**.

I thought I noticed that about FB too, glad it's confirmed. I've also found Nova to be better, that's what I'm using too.

I can get OpenVPN to connect but it won't change the public IP address. I've managed to connect using OpenVPN for Android as well, and I have the same problem. When I do a netcfg in terminal, I don't get a tap interface, but I have a tun0 interface with a 10.1.xx.xx address, which is gone when I disconnect the VPN service.

I've tried many more VPN apps and they all create the tun0 interface but the apps don't use it. I read somewhere that after 4.4 tun0 isn't used anymore but then I wonder how other reviews say these apps are working on lollipop? Anyone else running this ROM and have a working VPN service that manages to change your public IP address? Still trying to help FordPrefect out with this but I'm stumped now. Even the built in VPN functionality just creates a ppp0 interface but I get no further down that road.

There was supposed to be a fix for LP in the latest couple beta apks from OpenVPN for Android that fixes the issue but I wasn't able to get it resolved. I'm not sure what the status is at the moment, but VPN on Android is rather battery consuming because of the 'keepalive' packets, isn't it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
I doubt that any app defines the interface it uses. It might be your openvpn config, you likely don't set it as default gw. Apps just requests connection to ip address, and the linux ip-stack makes routing decision for the app. If you don't set default gw via tun0, your apps connect via the normal (wlan/bt) ip address. This routing option is in your openvpn configs, both at the server and the client. Check if you have configured your openvpn to advertise only the networks it controls, or act as default gw.
