Installed beta 2 today. I have had about 4 reboots since then. Beta 1 seemed much more stable. Here is the log.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Mhhh, sounds strange....

Have you formatted system since you flashed from a KK rom? Or even formatted data? A factory reset in TWRP only wipes the partitions. A total format does wonders once in a while - especially if you see problems nobody else has... Probably some crud left behind from former installations. Just make sure you backup everything and have everything you need to reflash on the microSD - because there won't be anything left on internal ;)

PS: And do not interrupt it! Takes around 90 minutes for a format of /data. /system is much quicker...
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
I see it's in PA GApps so may need to be added to the GApps section of installer or flashed separately.

Out of memory. I've not seen one of these on 5.1.

You either have a lot of apps open, a very demanding app or it is the known bug with that ****ty Facebook app and lollipop...

2 reboots on 5.1 Beta 2

Hi,

Did a clean ROM2SD install with F2FS data with the default options except the Browser2RAM unchecked and also without the extended tweaks.

While the tablet is downloading some apps from Play Store after the initial setup and let it rest for 30 minutes got 2 reboots.

The logs are in attach.

Hope this helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tek_No:
I think I was wrong all the time then: when you have a F2fs partition that is being mounted as /data at boot time and you do an internal installation: isn't data then being stored on SD so that rom2sd or any other option is no longer needed to have your data on SD?

Can anyone confirm this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Read that twice. Still don't get it...
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I had to read this about 6 times to get the slightest idea what your question may be :cyclops: which is about average for rom2sd/data2sd questions I guess. Takes a while to wrap your head around this.

Wrapping your head around anything may be detrimental to your health. Closed course, professional driver. Don't try this at home.

What file system you have on /data is immaterial, so strike that f2fs

The roms of this glorious team come with some special scripts (thanks _that!!) that run before the rom is booted. Read that screen under the 4 penguins! It's not there for decoration. They identify if you have a microSD installed that has been formatted for rom2sd or data2sd and IF present, switch the device nodes so that the tablet uses external /data (and external /system for rom2sd). If NOT present the tablet just boots normally with /data and /system on internal.

Installing a rom (or doing a nandroid, restore, wipe) is a different can of worms because booting into recovery, these clever scripts don't run. The recovery doesn't know the first thing about data2sd/rom2sd/external partitions and just pretends everything is as the devs of that recovery intended.

Now, if you flash any rom by this glorious team AND select either the data2sd or rom2sd option in the installer, it runs a script to show TWRP the way, so to speak, switching the device nodes so that what you want to be installed to external /data (and /system) will go where you intended it to go.

If you do not select the data2sd/rom2sd option in the installer, the script doesn't run and everything gets installed to the internal partitions.

Following me so far? :D

Once you flashed the rom with the data2sd/rom2sd option it will always boot accordingly: Data (and system) on external with the card inserted, data (and system) on internal with no card present.

BUT if you boot into recovery to nandroid, restore, wipe or format your data (and rom) you need to flash a special file to "show TWRP the way" - prior to nandroid, restore, wipe or formatting the external data and/or system partitions. Remember? The preinit scripts switching the device nodes to external data (and system) don't run if you boot to recovery, so you have to flash them manually.

That's what data2sd1.zip and rom2sd1.zip are for.

Now - please - tell me that made it a little ore transparent :fingers-crossed: :laugh: :silly:

kernel out of memory on internal!

I'm afraid there's a strange bug hidden here. I have tried an internal install on f2fs (previously running fine with Crombi-KK, wiped before install of course) and get spontaneous reboots very soon after the initial setup screens come up. Have tried several wipes and reinstalls. The attached kmesg suggests to me the same error that shonkin had on his external install (kernel panic due to lack of memory). Now reformatting internal /data to ext4 to try again. If that works I'll try to go back to f2fs to see if the problem comes back.

But what I've been meaning to say for a long time: huge, enormous, humongous thanks to all the developers! You rock the tf700 beyond measure! Because of you I love my (wife's:) tablet again, so that love goes right back to you and your hard work.

grateful sharkcow
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tek_No:
I had to read this xx times to wash and wipe my brain again and to reprogram it ;)

Thanks for the (very) detailed explanation.

Well, a lot of it was as I already expected...

Remaining question: can I actually "see" (e.g. from a Terminal) where my /data is: internal or external?

Mine is currently on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 and formatted as f2fs: so is this internal or external?
[Asus Transformer TF700] prefect47:
Reboot directly on load

First of all, thank you to the developers, my TF700T had been unused for almost a year when I found this and figured I had to try :)

My install seems to run, but at the very end I get a small warning that could be normal (?):

Setting permissions...

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

But when I reboot after install, all I get is three lines about found filesystems (/data on internal, /data and /system on SDCard not present). Then it sits there for 10-15 seconds and reboots into recovery by itself.

Sometimes it gets a bit further:

fm34: [fm34_config_DSP] Load TF700T DSP parameters

I've tried:

* Full install (all apps) with Grimlock and Omni kernels.

* Default install where I didn't change any options.

* Full wipe (TWRP advanced wipe of everything except MicroSD card)

* Wipe Dalvik and cache after install (and not).

I've attached the kmsg, look like the /system partition is missing ??
[Asus Transformer TF700] sharkcow:
OK, Zombi-pop now runs fine, both on ext4 as on f2fs internal. Seems to me a wipe is not enough but an actual reformat was necessary (at least in my case). BTW: I also only selected nova launcher during installation and instead got apex (on both installs, ext4 and f2fs internal).
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Go into the Play Store, select the Icon in the upper left, and then select "My Apps".

This will show apps current and downloading. To stop downloading select "STOP".

Should be good till the next restart.

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Re Nova / Apex weirdness... thank you. I thought I wuz goin' nuts. Did it every time I installed w/ only Nova selected. Hehehe....

And re f2fs on internal. That never was a problem for me. Only the external install, which I continue to suspect has some anomalies that these wise coders will eventually sort.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
Just managed to get ROM2SD to install with F2FS, using _ThatV11 kernel.

A lot of weirdness along the way.

First time i installed based on "I remember what I need to do" (ie backup, copy backup off somewhere just to be safe, run install, select rom2sd let it run, I then restored the backup, not sure if I should have but didnt want the pain of reainstalling all my apps), rebooted checked for the tell tale signs rom2sd had worked bbut no, I was still on internal. Weird

Tried again, this time not restoring. Still no joy

Tried a third time, this time restoring only data and Joy! Achieved a Quadrant score of 8667. Internal scored me 9250!!!!!!! I don't think at this point running on external has any benefit for me while I have a SanDisk Ultra SDXC 64 other than I can dual boot.

I have two of these babies at the moment, the other one (I have no idea why, perhaps someone can explain this) just delivered a quadrant score of 9170 on the same external settings, whereas Zombi-X only scored about 5500 on the same setup
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Quadrant is a very old benchmarking application and has not been updated for 2.5 years. As a result, the ART runtime exaggerates the CPU scores on quadrant. The reason for the huge difference between Zombi-X and this is because LP5.0 now uses the ART runtime as default, where KK4.4 used Dalvik as default and ART boosts quadrant CPU scores by as much as 10 000. If you test a newer benchmarking application like Antutu you will notice there is less of a difference between Zombi-X and Zombi-Pop
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatboyinlycra:
That would also explain why my old note n7000 scores more than double on lollipop than it does on KitKat
[Asus Transformer TF700] RunnyYolk:
I seem to have this issue as well. Did you find a solution?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
[***update*** I did do what I think you described above and what I tried to clarify below. It worked. Except every time I activated the internet the tab locked up and eventually spontaneously rebooted itself.]

Hmmm... interesting! So did you do this (I'm trying to make sure I understand before torturing myself again in vain!)...

Installed an internal version of Zombi-Pop, with f2fs /data partition.

From TWRP, did a backup nandroid of the internal install.

Wiped, prepared external, did rom2sd install of Zombi-Pop.

Went back and wiped the external /data partition (formatted as f2fs?)

Finally, did a nandroid restore from the internal *data only* to the external *data only*.

And that did it? Has it continued to run error-free for you?

Inquiring minds want to know... er sumpin'.

;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
mmcblk0p8 is internal /data, and mmcblk1p2 is external /data with Data2SD/ROM2SD.

Are you 100% sure that you've read the OP? What version of TWRP are you using?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ntunix:
To everyone having random problems, did you guys installed with Zip File Signature Verification checked in TWRP? Maybe it's a download issue that's causing data corruption on the ROM install script and files. I would also suggest a complete re-format (the one that takes about an hour to complete) of your internal storage partition to ensure it is not corrupted as well (or having some kind of problem).
[Asus Transformer TF700] RunnyYolk:
OK, I feel silly now. I did read the OP, BUT I might have forgotten to check the TWRP version before excitedly pressing ahead - I was on 2.6.something. Now I've updated it and Lollipop seems to be booting nicely!!! :D

So thank you, big time, devs!!! Very happy to be trying Android 5 out for the first time!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
This looks awesome! I have one question about battery life on Z-Pop, how would you compare it to CROMi-X or ZOMBi-X? I'm on ZOMBi-X right now and I think I actually had better battery life on CROMi-X, not sure why. I'm on a data2sd install with f2fs data partition, it's crazy fast compared to running on internal memory and a lot smoother, in my opinion, but my battery life seems to be poorer. Any thoughts as to what would be different? I've got pretty much the same list of apps running/installed between CROMi-X and ZOMBi-X.
[Asus Transformer TF700] texasfight:
Data

When I restore from nandroid backup, which components should I be restoring?

I want my apps, data, settings, etc. all restored from Crombi-KK to Zombi-pop. Thanks! I'm doing ROM2SD and have the nandroid backups on internal storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NonoWeber:
Restoring settings from a previous version / build of any ROM is not a good idea.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The only thing I can see is that your processor is running very hot. The logs don't indicate a software issue. They do indicate that you are only running up to 1.6GHz. You haven't raised the voltage have you?

In the setup when you select the Kernel and OC options if you are not running at 1.8GHz you should probably turn off the OC flag as well. Although I doubt this will do anything but the log does complain about it being turned on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
Yes, I really notice it very hot to touch.

I have not raised not the voltage, neither the CPU speeds, everything is like the default options on the installer.

How do I change this flag? Do I need to flash again with different options or can I set it through commands or an App?

Thanks for the help, the ROM seems very good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 2ral:
Could we expect the sleep mode timer in display settings could receive no sleep mode option ? Such usefull feature was presented in cromi build
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just dirty flash it again and choose 1.6GHz as the top speed for performance and scroll down and uncheck the OC flag.

Cast Screen

Does anyone know if the Cast Screen option in the Quick Launch pull down works with 5.1B2? - Just says can't find any devices although I have been able to cast via YouTube.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
Well, this is STRANGE! I normally never use Google+, but when I go to the App Store and search for "Google+" it doesn't even show up anywhere! I was going to try to install it, but I can't find it! ??????? Any ideas?

Edit: "Play Store" not App Store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
As far as I know it is not possible to cast the screen with the TF700, even on Kitkat, since the drivers for that functions do not exist.

I think ASUS only released the drivers until 4.2.1, which was the last version released for our tablet.

Youtube and even Netflix use the CAST protocol which is different than screen casting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
That's what I just did, on the kernel I tried to select the Thats kernel but it was not possible to disable the button with the enable overclock.

Then I selected the OMNI hoping it would be more conservative but on the settings->performance the max is set at 1800.

Where can I check the overclock flag?

Maybe I didn't understand clearly your instructions, can you please guide me?

Thanks a lot for the help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
I don't understand what happened but now it is not available also on mine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Here's my guess. You had the multi DPI play store and services installed with the ROM. Google has done a silent update in the background, confirmed if you find the gms or vendor apks in /data/app, and now you are no longer using the multi DPI version and you are not on the standard DPI or res.

;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] TinCanFury:
so no way to have System be f2fs? does that matter?
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
I've just dirty flashed again with the standard res and dpi but the result was the same.

Any other ideas?

Sorry to bother but can you also help on this subject?

Also had another reboot after the latest flash but the last_kmsg is almost blank.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xxhaimbondxx:
I formatted the data prior to flashing Beta 2, plus even more. I've repaired each partition, whatever that does, still no significant change. Previously, the little penguins flashed quickly before my eyes. Now they hang for about 15 seconds.

I know this has been asked before, but I still can't change the wallpaper to anything other than the Zombi-Pop default. If I select anything else, I wind up with a black background. I've tried from Settings->Display->Wallpaper and by long-pressing on the screen and selecting the Wallpaper icon, and neither works. I am using the Google launcher, pretty much left everything else default in the installation. Currently running B2 (dirty-flashed over a clean-install of B1).
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You have to do it from the gallery or another app for now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes but dirty flashing leaves the new downloaded gms and store in /data so it doesn't change anything. Why don't you install google plus from the installer if you want it that much? I'll have to look into this later as it is not urgent.

Hmm the way aroma is set up I can't have that OC switch on / off so I'll have to build something else into the next build.

You rebooted this time cos you are out of memory - I hate that error. I don't know how to fix it but chrome is a resource hog and doesn't help as it takes 60+MB now.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Ok, so no External SD dirty flashes? Format-wipe /system and /data? I'm confused.

OT : Wish I were a programmer, it would be nice to write scripts to backup Tibu & Nova, move them somewhere safe (PC?). then write them back to the proper locations (after loading rom) for both Internal and External loads. I never get it right. Backups too.

Just wishing.

No download from Google Playstore

Setup zombipop a few days ago. In aroma launcher just clicked next all the way through didn't select anything different. Logged in with my gmail and selected to restore my current apps.... Didn't happen. Nothing would download from the play store. Then I cancelled all downloads restarted the tablet and tried to download a game , nothing. It acts like it's downloading but will never try and install. Also I'm having the same issue as someone else on here where I am unable to change the background to anything but zombiepop. I've tried both launchers, nada, just a black background unless it the red zombie stairs. Is this a known issue or something new? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Went back and did a factory wipe in TWRP. Then re-installed. Still same issues, cannot download anything from play store, and cannot change background. Any suggestions?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Mine is all working fine - so you need to take a logcat after you try to download and it will highlight the issue you have.

BTW I just downloaded and installed google pus fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
Thanks SDBags for taking an interest and a few of your precious time to try it.

I can sideload it just fine, was only trying to help Puffin617.

Another thing I've noticed is that most of you have around 2000 on the IO test of Antutu but I only get around 800 with ROM2SD, F2FS on a fast 32G Samsung Pro which I've tested on a PC for 60-80MB transfer.

Am I missing something?
[Asus Transformer TF700] whitmerray:
Thank you very much for your fast response. Just a little background about this tf700t. I woke up one day after 2 years of slow sluggish performance and it was stuck in a boot loop, it would just keep restarting unit it killed the battery. So I used adb fastboot -w to clear it out and then loaded twrp and this rom. Luckily I had unlocked my boot loader when I was still on stock. This is the first custom Rom I have loaded on the tablet, Have played with many different roms on my other devices. This rom has been the fastest Ive ever seen this tablet run, thank you for it.

My logcats from the terminal app were not very revealing, unfortunately no big red flags. I went ahead and cleared my cache on play store, download manger, and play services. No help. This time though I got an error saying the app could not be downloaded due to error 963. where as before all it would do is move the progress bar like it was downloading but no percentage. So then I cleared my Google account and restarted the tablet. Added a different Google account and I'm still getting the same error 963. Now it just says installing on whatever app I try to download and hangs there. So I goggled the error with not much help. Could not find any real solution to the issue. Do you think I should try and remove the playstore apk and replace it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
How long have you let the device sit and stabilize before doing the test?

Also do you have any apps installed that have services running that could be using some IO continuously?
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
I've done the test several times, always with identical result, and the last time was this morning after a night of siting and stabilizing.

I'm not aware of services running degrading the IO, do you have any tool to monitor that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Not a specific one no, was mostly wondering if you were using something like FB/Messenger which appears to be eating a ton of resources trawling through your data or perhaps some data sync to a cloud service

Tibu Question

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]

I'm working at getting a clean R2SD install. I'm formatting /system and /data and loading B2 Rom External. My question is that I usually backup Tibu with User apps and system data. The backups I'd be restoring are from a really bad performing B2 R2SD dirty install. Is it a possibility I could bring problems over when restoring system data?

Thanks,

since upgraded to lollipop the tablet is laggish and slow.. (it has been happening for a while, not only this version)

my correct config:

beta2 , that11 kernel , highest resolution, f2fs , data2sd, fsync off. full wipe, formatted everything.
