Sorry to see development on the TF700 start to drop off, but perfectly understand due to the age of the hardware. It is still my daily use tablet and works fantastic, many MANY thanks to the developers and the folks in this forum for keeping the device alive. I was on the verge of throwing it in the trash before discovering the ROMS which extended it's life a couple of years.

Although support from ASUS has been distinctly lacking on this device and the internal memory was a main part of it issue, the whole setup (including the keyboard dock) has spoiled me when looking for other tablet alternatives as the dock really enhances the usability of the device.

I saw the discussion earlier on this thread on other brand/model alternatives. I've been very happy with my samsung galaxy S5, and one of my co-workers is very happy with his tab s 10.5. I have another co-worker who is very happy with his nexus 9. I'm torn as I want the larger screen, but would like something that can easily be unlocked (I don't think any Samsung devices are). As a last ditch effort, I may go with a surface - but this would be very cost prohibitive compared to an android alternative which would suit me best.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricardjs:
I have worked with the samsung's and i have to say i don't like them... the looks, the bloatware, the contrauction quality...

Tablet like the TF700/701, i am sorry to tell you but you won't find any (the the keyboard and it's functions and it's build quality).

I did find 3 great tablets that i have, but none with keyboard, but with all rest and even better:

Sony Xperia Z2 (i suppose the Z4 is superior, but the Z2 is still perfect, fast and cheaper)

Lenovo Yoga pad 3 pro (pricey, but can't beat the intel cpu, quadHD, 18 Hours battery life and dedicated projector!)

I just loaded the rom from a clean wipe. I don't recall if I formatted the data to F2fs.

My current bootloader says "Android cardhu-userbootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329" AO3

Kernel says "3.1.10-that12dirty+lj50036@area51 #1"

Build says "TF700_ZOMBi-POP-5.1.1-OMNI-DEODEX RC1 test-keys-1920x1200

I am using TWRP 2.8.7.2
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No wonder that it does not boot. You are on an old bootloader. Grab the .10 bootloader from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55238386&postcount=3 , flash it in TWRP , reboot to the bootloader, enter TWRP and reflash the rom.

That should do it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ParrotSquawk:
It boots....but it takes FOREVER!

Thanks for the instructions! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Only the first boot takes that long...
[Asus Transformer TF700] woekje:
I thought I'd try the nightly OMNI rom for this tablet, just to see if it'd be as smooth as Zombi-pop. You know, because it is the same code base and having /data formatted with F2FS made a big difference... Well, it isn't. It was a frustrating experience. Ok, it doesn't have a few of the Zombi-pop bugs (like the missing clear all button in the app switcher, or the fact that the scheduler settings don't stick), but it is terribly laggy. Went back to Zombi-pop and it was a difference like night and day!

What is it that makes the difference? Some really really good tweaks in build.prop? The kernel?

Really sad to see the development for Zombi-pop stop, I've never seen one particular rom outperform the others for the same device by such a degree!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Who said it had stopped? ;)

Maybe I'll do a quick and dirty update seeing as I could not sell my 700 - couldn't even give it away - lol!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jeebspawnshop:
I follow this thread cuz my brother has and uses a 700, and I do his updates.

He tried giving it to me some time ago, but I said, "Nah.. thanks.. I have a Xperia Tab Z which I bought less than a year after your 700... and uh.. it makes your tablet look like it uses punch-cards and vacuum tubes" ;)

But I respect the hell out of all you devs keeping this old lemon going!

Another grateful supporter of continuing development. Frustrating as it can be, my TF700 is still my primary computing device and Zombie-Pop has at least made it usable.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Okum4:
I think it would be redundant to say that I am grateful to the devs for continuing development so I will also add a question.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I have searched the thread and couldn't find an answer. Is there a reason why there isn't a double tap to wake option? I'm assuming it's because of the battery and ram usage, or that the hardware is incompatible. I did a little research about how the kernel needs to support it and I could get a module from xposed, but it's all a little over my head. Could someone explain?
[Asus Transformer TF700] silverchairbg:
Sorry if this has been asked before, couldn't find it. I am currently on M12 snapshot of C11, but as u may know, the tablet becomes really sluggish after let's say a month of usage and I have to reflash from scratch. I am sick of this .. so I want to migrate to something better. Everybody talks about this rom, but I see that the Antutu benchmark (first page in thread) shows really low score, more than double that of the CM11 (19320 score atm). So I know benchmarks might be deceiving of the actual performance of the tab. I mainly use it for browsing and my 4 y old for some simple childish games.

My question is to current Zombi-pop users: how do you find its performance/behavior compared to CM11? Does the problem of tablet getting sluggish after 1 month of use still stands? Do I have to migrate to F2FS to feel its perks etc. ..
[Asus Transformer TF700] Okum4:
Zombi-Pop is better than CM. There is also Cromi-X which I haven't used which runs on Jellybean. [MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION] says it's awesome. I've used CM on this tablet and each time I've flashed it, it's slow from the start. Not so with Zombi-Pop. If you apply the recommended tweaks it's fast. I've been using it for less than a month though. I've only experienced slow down a few times, but it depends what you are using it for. Surprisingly, gaming is smooth. Asphault 8 actually runs really smoothly. So does Sonic Dash, Agar.io, Pocket Maplestory and Zen Pinball which are not light games. Web surfing takes more time than a device now-a-days, but it responds. It also depends on how heavy the actual browsing is. If you are loading a page with a bunch of bells and whistles of course it's going to slow down. Also, which browser do you use? Chrome is known to be a RAM hog.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Double tap to wake involves kernel support which we haven't really looked into. It does involve leaving the screen somewhat active though so it can respond to the input so It will kill more battery. With these devices hold onto 3 year old batteries, we need all the battery life we can get so decided its not really a feature worth investigating IMHO.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
The incredible developers and the knowledgeable community members have made using my TF700 a joy. I am spoiled and find every other forum and ROM lacking. I've been scolded for being lazy and in the same post helped by that's. My phone is just working on 5.1.1. We've had it forever //smile

My phones are rooted and "ROM'd" their work is good as well, but the full package or fit and finish, forum participation (people complain there and have feuds //wtf??), and there isn't a teaching culture. I have enjoyed this ride and thank you all again! //cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hannes_HD2:
Hi folks,

Short question: I understand that LMK is promoting gpu overclocking for the stock variant by sbdags, also timduru is overclocking the tf300s gpu to 520 mhz by default as I read. So, as I sometimes experience some graphical sluggishness with my tf700, I was thinking whether this could improve my installation of crombi rc1. So I tried to read the kernel setting and found that a startup script sets it to 0 where LMK sets it to 520 or even 600 mhz. Long story short, did I miss something while installing zombi, or what is the default gpu rate and how can we change it? Thanks a lot!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nicely said :) And thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If you use _that's kernel then it should dynamically scale to 600MHz when needed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] silverchairbg:
Can anyone share how to do it manually? I tried using the terminal in twrp and issuing the same cmd without the -r switch, but it does not cut it:

mkfs.f2fs -t 1 -r 16384 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

I am already on twrp kang 2.8.7.2, but still get the error:

E:mkfs.f2fs -t 1 -r 16384 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 process ended with ERROR=1

E:Unable to wipe '/data'.

E:Unknown MTP Message type: 1

E:Error changing file system

Edit: switched to twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.6.5.img and all went well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
I want to share a very weird experience I have just had with beta 5...

Tablet had been running it as the straight omni kernel, no over clocking, f2fs, fsync off, extended kernel tweaks off when last night at 11pm while using chrome to read this thread the tablet became completely unresponsive then rebooted.

After the reboot I tried to get into file manager to get a copy last_kmsg but it rebooted before I could grab it. It continued to do this for 3 or 4 more times when I gave up and booted into recovery to do a full wipe and reinstall.

TWRP hung on the splash screen and stayed there for 20 minutes.

After several attempts and coming close to proving Einstein's law of insanity I dropped back to fastboot mode and tried to reinstall twrp. The flash reported success but it still wouldn't boot into recovery. I tried several attempts but no success.

In the end I flashed cwm which I don't like because the damn text is so small I can barely see it but at least it gave me a working recovery.

I decided to start again from a clean base by reinstalling stock then starting again but cwm fails with a problem writing to staging.

Obviously can't provide any logs for the original problem but any ideas on his I make twrp work again? At least then I could restore a stable backup as cwm obviously can't read backups made with twrp (or I can't find a way to make it anyway)

UPDATE: so I've ended up using the command fastboot erase recovery, then to be sure everything was clean reboot-bootloader then tried flashing TWRP 2.8.4.0 again and SUCCESS!

Back running on Zombi-POP Beta 4 at the momenton EXT4, am going to reformat back to F2FS and reinstall Beta5, avoiding all kernel and fsync tweaks and see how I get on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Does anyone else use the Flickr app? I was on data2sd, f2fs - crash & reboot every time it opens. I'm guessing it's also out of memory but it rebooted when I tried to grab a catlog so not filing a bug report unless someone else has the same problem... :D

----

Actually, on a maybe related note.... I'm not able to use my gparted extSD card in windows - it shows up as unformatted, but I'm sure it used to show the fat32 partition. I don't know the terminology, but I'm guessing the MFT might be jacked up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Beta 5 is definitely snappier for me but I was having some stability issues so I decided to "re-dirty flash". This time I tried a different kernel, the first one instead of the enhanced for speed one. It seems to have helped a lot and things are running good. Will the different kernels have an effect and if so do you just have to experiment? thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I would not disable fsync. I knew this but last night just had to try beta 5 with fsync off, "because" (said the mountain climber) "it was there." Result? Spontaneous reboot while loading Words with Friends. And I had to reinstall. I think fsync is there for good reason. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Something you can try to get us a log for your flickr app.

When you open the app and you see your tablet freeze, hold the volume down button. When your tablet reboots it will load the bootloader to which you can the load recovery. When in recovery - go to advanced - file manager. Then select the "proc" folder on the left side and on the right side after scrolling down you will see a file called "last_kmsg". Select that and then on the next screen select "copy file" and choose a location where you can access it later. This should give some sort of indication as to why it might be rebooting on you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
Thanks for the advice! I've researched as much as I could before asking but I find it difficult to track down such detailed information even using the best search terms I could come up with. Well, I thought 1150 would save some battery, but perhaps I'm limiting the CPU too much. Currently I've got Autostarts disabling apps I don't want running after boot, including all Google Play Services (after boot), Greenify hibernating the few apps I've got on it at the moment, screen brightness under 10% and battery usage is around 5% to 10% per hour I think, for normal usage. 13% to 15% or a little higher if I play video. Even at 1150 video is smooth.

Oh, I put the max at 1150 and min is still 204, sorry, I should have clarified that. Thanks for pointing me to the log info, I think I'll try Syslog and see how it works.

I've been using external install, f2fs, fsync off, and both experimental tweaks enabled, on this ROM and on the Zombi-X... I had a spontaneous screen freeze and reboot last night while switching between a few battery stat apps, Gsam and DU Battery Doctor, and I think I was tinkering with CPU Adjuster at the same time trying to figure out why my CPU settings weren't staying put... And Du Battery Saver.... I don't think it's really saving anyone's battery unless they have a ton of bloatware they haven't figured out how to get rid of yet. BetterBatteryStats is pretty useful showing me what's running. I'm thinking it's possible the install options I mentioned may have lead to the instability I've experienced on Zombi-X and the reboot I had last night. I may be adding extra steps, but what I've done so far with f2fs re-installs on external SD is to boot into TWRP or power it off, pull out the SD card, boot into Gparted and reformat to fat32 and f2fs, (redundant to reformat the fat32 I think, so that step is skipped) put the ROM in the fat32 part and pop it back into the tablet, and flash again. I suppose I could flash data2sd1.zip and do a 'factory wipe' from inside TWRP, but if I remember right, even on 2.8.4 it still reverts the f2fs back to ext4, so maybe there is no shortcut for a clean flash?

I'm unable to get screenshots to work. PWR-VOL DN just beeps and nothing.

When Google Voice Typing is selected under SETTINGS/LANGUAGE & iNPUT, previous keyboards, show a Microphone Icon in the bottom row, second from left. Selecting that enables voice input of text. B5 AOSP keyboards don't show icon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
Funny co-incident: I was just waiting for keynoard to pop-up and allow me to write here how nicely this zombi-pop b5 works for me, and the tablet crashed :D

Looking from last kmsg it seems ooms killer couldn't find anything to kill and paniced. Anyhow, thaat was not my point...

Do you know how to make Apex faster to start? Often when I unlock the screen I get the yes/wait dialog for killing apex as it doesn't respond. It was the same with zombi kitkat. Does everyone get this, or is it just me?

BTW, nice work and thanks for the sbdags and team!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Fsync ON or Off?

Maybe we need a little dialog on this subject from some of the Guru's.

It's evident that some members here have strong feelings about NOT turning Fsync off. I've been setting Fsync OFF for two years on all my Roms, without an identified problem or data corruption.

Beta 5 was published with Fsync defaulted OFF, unless I'm mistaken. The Dev's must have had a good reason?

lmm
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
PWR-VOL DN for a screenshot is "very flaky".....Most of the time I have to try several times to finally get a "screenshot".....it seems to be the "timing" issue of how/when you press the key combination. I had the same issue with another "lolipop" ROM I was running for a few days, so I tend to believe it is just something with "Lolipop" itself, rather than a specific problem with this ROM. I really wish there were some way to go back to the "old" way of doing it....Long Press on Recent Apps" button....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
I saw someone report you can do it with a setting in GravityBox, but it's a shame it's not standard functionality. I've got a case on this tablet, the rocker buttons are covered and I use volume control on the notification drop down, trying to use the physical buttons for something as basic as a screenshot is... Silly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Yes, it is defaulted to off position. However, if you read some of the posts here from sbdags, you'll note he himself now has reservations about that default "off" position (off = disabling fsync). I am only one user, but would note that fsync has almost always caused flakiness for me. It would be interesting to know what your other settings are -- do you, for instance, use f2fs for the /data partition, install rom2sd, and/or overclock? I got much better results from fsync = off when running internal (not rom2sd or data2sd). Not at all wanting to argue this, just wanting to illuminate the issues which I of course do not fully know! ;) Glad you get good results with whatever settings you use!
[Asus Transformer TF700] grayfoxmg1:
I think I'm going to run my internal install of Beta 5 as my tablets DD. This is phenomenal, I'm considering running a Lollipop build as the DD on my TF700t!!!! The team has really out done themselves this time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Fsync off is defaulted in the installation. The installation has in mind that we want the best possible performance we can squeeze out of this tab. Next version we are thinking of keeping fsync on by default, because as many have indicated that having fsync off with data2sd/rom2sd is causing the tablets to be unable to recovery from a crash. This could happen to internal installs as well. Fsync off is a risk.

Having said that the purpose of Fsync off is to help with the I/O bottleneck of this device and YMMV. I must also point out the following:

On _that kernel - if you installs Trickster mod (an app in the play store) there is an option to turn fsync on or off whenever you like. My suggestion. Have fsync on during install, and if you want to see if having it off makes a difference, turn it on in Trickster Mod.

The Grimlock kernel has Dynamic Fsync control which is "supposed to" be a bit safer than straight up fsync off (I cannot confirm or deny this claim) and this can be controlled with the trickster mod app as well.

This screenshot feature is made for phones. It is very easy to press Vol Down plus power on a phone than it is a tablet. But having said that, to me the screenshot feature never fails when I press both buttons at the same time? This way of doing screenshots has been in Android for many versions already. Not sure why this is becoming an "issue" now? :confused:

GravityBox will not work with this rom. xposed is only for Dalvik right now.

You are correct though, it seems users are having better luck with fsync off when running /data on the internal partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xxhaimbondxx:
Great ROM, actually seems much faster than the Crombi KitKat I was running before. Although, once I restored all my user apps and data, it became a bit slower. I've noticed some bug with the wallpaper. It shows 3 Wallpaper folders, each containing different images. And after a while, even though I selected the wallpaper, the launcher just had black screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Quick question... my tab today really is sucking battery. Just wondering if anyone else notices battery drain issues w/ beta 5 or not...? I was doing some intensive stuff (Moon Reader+ importing over 7000 books!). But I've done that on other roms with seeminly less issues. If a log would be helpful I'll pull one (it might be large!!).
[Asus Transformer TF700] ChefChaudart:
Not for me

My 5 cents ...

I made a clean flash and installed this ROM. Everything by default. (With That_ kernel )

Everything was fine until I ran Email program. I enter the first account infos, then, the device went in bootloop. (Impossible to get a logcat, had to restore my backup)

p.s.

I had no problem with Google Inbox.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
I run internal and had problems running with fsync off. The trigger for the bootloop for me was running chrome
[Asus Transformer TF700] tonyh51:
So far soooo gooood!

The only issue that I had with beta 5 is the email app. It keeps crashing when I try to add an email account. Will I be able to collect fc data from logcat?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Download free syslog program from playstore. Easy peasy. It will pull all the logs needed, including from the spontaneous reboot. And it does appear likely from others' (including my) experience that disabling fsync (esp. on rom2sd1 / data2sd1 installs) is a risky move, quite possibly behind your email issues. One way to test that theory might be to run Antutu or another "testing" program that works your memory and screen. If it, too, crashes the tab... you know. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] PimpFinger:
Do we still need to be on 10.6.1.14.10 before installing or will anything later than 10.6.1.14.10 work? I ask because I don't see 10.6.1.14.10 on the official Asus site. I'm currently on the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader.

I'd like to thanks all those who have worked and helped ( sdbags, that's ) to elaborate this amazing rom. I wasn't using my tf700 because all the version older that 4.1 were not smooth enough, and my tablet was just not usable. With this rom i'm using it every day, going in class with and the battery is lasting at least 8h with the dock, i feel like i won 300€ the amonunt spent to buy it ! Thanks again, again. Looking forward for one update one of these days though
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well the new rom boots :highfive: but requires a total format of internal to get it to boot :( However I am building my own gapps package in the process that will based off google's latest apps.
