If you want to use a multi-partition microSD card but not for Data2SD/ROM2SD, edit /system/boot/preinit.cfg and set use_data2d and use_system2sd to 0.

(remember to remount /system writable before)

Hi noob question... In the OP it says you must be on Asus stock JB 4.2.1 bootloader version 10.6.1.14.10.

The bootloader version matches but my android version is 4.4.4. Can I go ahead with the installation??

Any help would be appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
Zombie-POP has some problems with lack of memory and from your options it seems you are using Browser2RAM.

Just try to disable this option to liberate more RAM and have more available to start and exchange apps.

Another thing to try is a different Kernel, some people find OMNI better other prefer _Thats.

Best of luck

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

4.4.4 is also a custom ROM, so if you are on this android version and with your Bootloader you could install this ROM without any issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Couple of things I noticed.

You said you wiped data, but did not mention formatting. I really believe a full format of data is helpful when moving to Lollipop.

You installed Zombi as f2fs user. Did you convert /data to f2fs prior? Aroma does not do that for you. You have to do it manually in TWRP, then flash the rom with the f2fs option.

That said, it seems to me that Zombi, just like Crombi, initially runs great but then bogs down pretty fast. I've had bad lag the last few days - just no time to investigate or reflash. Maybe I get to it tonight...
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
1) Unless somebody put in the wrong kernel you cannot overclock to 1.8ghz with the "omni" kernel

2) As bern said before this post, format your /data partition and then give it a try

3) there is a third kernel that people could try in the installer....... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

As [MENTION=223214]Ikke[/MENTION]-t has studied of the past few weeks, this might be a result of the fact that the f2fs implementation that we have does not support trim, meaning over time the data will get "used up" and not freed properly, which could be the result of lag over time. Newer implementations of f2fs are supposed to support this but we haven't had any luck getting it to work, and has resulted in some bricking and reformatting :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
I think sbdags mentioned many many posts back that using a trim app like trimmer or lag fix every few days helps alot. I have been doing this since the CROMi-x days and although not perfect, it does help speed things up for a little while.

I stopped using lag fix when I moved to to Zomi-pop because it wouldn't work anymore. That's when I found trimmer and it works great for me. Hope this helps! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] MegamanReplicant:
is the test patch still the current recommendation after flashing 5.1.1?

if so, can i go back into twrp and flash just the patch? or do i have to start over and flash both zips (rom and patch) at the same time?

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes just go back to TWRP and flash it. You don't need to do anything else. It definitely helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Dang! Totally forgot about the patch! Flashing it sure made a difference.

I ran Trimmer too, but that took all of 10 sec or so - does it work on f2fs???
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well done for reminding me to add it to the first post :)

FILES ARE SIGNED. IF YOU ENABLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION IN RECOVERY IT WILL VALIDATE THE FILE BEFORE FLASHING.

I have the next build built but not had time to test it yet. Been too busy working with lj50036 and _that getting a working TWRP on the TF701 (with touch). Let's just say we have some good news coming :D :angel::cool:

Out of curiosity, does the next build include fixes for NTFS to be able to recognize files larger than 2GB?

Thanks!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MegamanReplicant:
Worked perfectly. Hard to believe this is the same hardware.

So glad I finally left cm11.

Is there a way to pick a different boot animation after installing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
The easiest way I've found to try different boot animations is to use ROM Toolbox Pro. It has over 300 different animations that you can preview, then install when you find one you like. You can also set it to "randomly" set a different one each time you boot. I haven't had any problems using it with this ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RonnyMegane:
Hi guys. Does anyone have direct comparisons between performance with 1600x1200 and Full HD? is it really worth to lower the resulution in terms of performance?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Will add a bit of smoothness to things like scrolling / browsing etc. Works better in games. However you will lose some sharpness to the screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MegamanReplicant:
I'll look into that one. No way to just swap between the options that are part of the rom already though?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Easiest way is just dirty flash again - choose the option that reloads your last choices but lets you change them ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Yuxing:
Thanks very much for your advise! I did the procedure you said. And right now the rom works great, Very fast and smooth.

:good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Okay so I'm using twrp 2.8.6.0 and I have Zombi 5.1.1.B1 on an external sd card. It keeps saying the file is corrupt no matter how many times I've downloaded it or from what mirror. I even did a nice, slow format of the sd card in windows (took like hours), copied the contents back and am still getting the issue
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What is the actual error message?
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Well, I put a copy from mirror 2 on another card and now the install is working. I'm going to go through the install and let it cook while I sleep.

The error message was something like E:corrupt somethingsomething invalid zip file. It even said it for the patch zip. I hope that card din't go bad on me...
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
HOLD ON.

Video streaming over wifi + bluetooth headphones = no constant buffering issues anymore?

WHAT IS THIS MAGIC? Did you patch the antenna also?

GIDDY! I AM GIDDY!
[Asus Transformer TF700] aracy:
hey you guys, i have a question

what if

- i'll change my (old) class 10 64gb , PRO Class 10 with Up to 90MB/s read/write speed,

- i'll install rom2sd

will there be any big different?

right now i'm on data2sd f2fs
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I suspect that card maybe too fast and you will get errors.

It seems that internal + f2fs is the fastest for now if you are after speed.

New build BETA 2 final tests going through now :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] aracy:
thanks for fast reply :)

i'll change to internal to see if there is any different.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
5.1.1 Test Patch 1

I had problems with TP1. Very laggy. Unusable. Had to revert to my nandroid of 5.1.1 B1.

Does the patch require a "burn-in" time?

lmm
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not really but Beta 2 will be out soon enough so time to move on from Beta 1 ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] magicmanfk:
Just flashed this yesterday on f2sd on internal with the patch and everything is running great! Thanks for the excellent ROM and can't wait till the next Beta :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Beta 2 is released!

You won't be waiting long then :) - Uploaded go get it :)

Here is the final changelog:

NOTE DUE TO CHANGES WITH GAPPS YOU WILL NEED TO WIPE DATA BEFORE INSTALLING! NO DIRTY WIPES WITH THIS ONE PLEASE
[Asus Transformer TF700] envyc:
Wipe data required

Confession: I missed the big red text to wipe Data before installing but have not experienced any issues. I was on minimal GAPPS in Beta 1 and did the same for this install. What issues should I see?

Thanks again for rescuing this tab from the e-waste pile! It's ging so well, I'm thinking it might be worth repairing the cracked front glass.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well I had gapps FC and crashing - so maybe it was just my tab - but a wipe of data fixed it...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ginko147:
Hey guys I'm coming from cromi xenogenesis version 5.1 and I updated the twrp to 2.8.6.2 and I'm preparing to install this rom. After twrp updateI tried to do the wipe data first but I don't know how much time takes to do this wipe since is lasting forever?
[Asus Transformer TF700] NonoWeber:
Some report up to 90 minutes. Once you start the process, leave it alone, and make sure your device is fully charged before you start.

NanoWeber
[Asus Transformer TF700] ginko147:
​

Ok so i tried to press the button cancel and it doesnt let me cancel it. I guess I will just leave it like that for 3 hours more until is done formatting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aldai2:
Thank you for this rom that works fine since 2 hours, unlike beta1 I had to uninstall because it crashed too often.

I flashed omni kernel on internal system after wipe of f2fs data.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
230 downloads in 12 hours :) So we still have some TF700 users then! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hannes_HD2:
Yes, we have - and this rom is mindblowing. Thanks to all the devs! Beta 2 working perfectly here, internal, f2fs, 1.7 GHz.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xxhaimbondxx:
Quick question: If I back up everything via TWRP, do a full wipe and flash Beta 2, can I restore data via TWRP, which seems to be negating the reason for the full wipe then? Or should I rather restore apps with Titanium Backup as before.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RonnyMegane:
you are awesome, thats why we download! Keep up the good work! Thanks Bros!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No you should restore from Tibu. If you restore from TWRP you will undo the flash and go back to what you had when you backed up. Tibu can read TWRP backups though and restore apps from that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
Does Beta 2 fix the 2GB NTFS limit?
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
This new beta 2 is even smoother, for now on internal f2fs with omni kernel on 1.6

One small issue that remains is, after the wipe, when setting up with Google and you can select the base for the restore the tf700 never appears as a source.

Is there any problem with the backup on this ROM? I also remembered that it could be due to the tablet on this ROM appear with unknown brand on Google.

Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] xxhaimbondxx:
On the similar to above note, when I tried to restore apps via google restore and chose my phone's apps, it said it failed a couple of times so I cancelled it. However, afterwards it started to download all apps anyway.

This ROM appears to be much faster than before, where I had quite a lag. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes the Gapps package has changed as well as the base so this means your device could appear as a different one to Google.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Unlikely.
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
Thanks the tip but the problem is that when you select the source for the restore you can see all the other devices, like phones and other Tablets but no tf700 whatsoever.
[Asus Transformer TF700] magicmanfk:
Agreed! I'm running pretty much the same except at 1.8 and it's wonderful :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mbnaeem:
I'm confused with wiping after using Data2SD. Before installing beta 2 is it ok if I just do a standard factory reset in twrp because I have been using data2sd.

I ask because I still have all my apps after flashing beta 2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need to either:

a) installer data2sd1.zip first so that reocvery knows you are using data2sd

or

b) use the option in the TWRP kanged version by lj50036 to wipe your external data partition.

Otherwise you will just wipe internal data ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mbnaeem:
Thanks. I'll do that now. And thank you for your work. I was about to Frisbee my Tf700 in the bin before I flashed this rom.

Also, does this rom have a clear all recent apps button. Or can I request this for a future update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
AHHHHHH, I need to take a look at a kill all button..... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] ultras77:
first of all many thanks for all your work on tft700...with your rom it is 10x faster than original sh*t asus rom!

i am on 4.4.4 rom (zombi.pop) and tmrp 2.8

A) i have to full wipe data etc etc (like on smartphone) or

b) i can simply upgrade my rom from 4.4.4 (zombi) to this 5.1.1 (zombi-pop)?

thanks in advance for your answer!
[Asus Transformer TF700] gadgetguy08:
With this latest version (beta 2), Titanium Backup is complaining that it can't find root. No issues with TiBu on prior versions. Other apps get root OK.

Message says Attempt made with /system/xbin/su command. That file is present.

I searched thru the SuperSu beta thread and didn't find anything, upgraded to the latest Tibu and searched this thread.

Am I missing something obvious?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Sbdags... Again want to thank you... I am waiting for a tf701 via eBay. My wife will be using my tf700. And both of us will be using twrp and ROMs with your fingerprints on 'em. You Monster of Coding Mayhem, you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need to wipe /data

Zombi-x was cyanogen

Zombi-pop is omni

It won't upgrade.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just tried it myself and it worked fine.

Did you clean install as asked or dirty flash?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcp2:
Just to be crystal clear. Coming from beta 1 f2fs internal:

1. I can just wipe data partition? or do I have to;

2. format (type yes in TWRP) the data partiton?
[Asus Transformer TF700] aracy:
so far so good! everything i smooth again! i missed that!

hope it will stay long.

thank you so much!!

internal f2fs that kernel (default configuration)
[Asus Transformer TF700] gadgetguy08:
Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my short term memory the most.

I knew I couldn't do a dirty flash,but wiped caches and System instead of Data.

Thanks for the quick guidance and for the super ROM!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jp071848:
Small issue here after flashing Beta 2. Did a data wipe though not a format, then flashed B2 quite successfully. Chose the minimal GApps option. During restoration of a TiBu backup taken a few minutes earlier before the flash, three apps each froze the restoration and wouldn't restore During each freeze, I rebooted and restored around them (i.e. continued the restore from where it left off after removing each app from the list of apps and data being restored) I assumed I would simply install them fresh from the Play Store rather than from the TiBu backup.

The new ROM works great, but not only are the three apps obviously not installed from the TiBu backup, but they do not appear as available apps in the Play store, despite them being installed on my phone and two other tablets. When I look them up in the Play Store, it says "Your device is not compatible with this version." They worked fine in Beta 1. Not that it is pertinent, but all three are navigation/mapping apps. Not a huge issue if they are gone, but one, Inrix Traffic, does get used a lot. Any idea what I've done wrong? Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's probably the multi-dpi playstore. It may be causing issues with compatibility. Which DPI settings did you choose when installing? Reinstall usin 240 DPI and see if that fixes it please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Wipe should be enough although a format never hurts for perfromance.

Remember to back up /data/media if you format as you will lose everything on the internal sdcard.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcp2:
Thanks. I backed up all media files and formatted, just to be safe ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
Beta 2 runs nice and smooth!

Sb, I'm sure this ROM has saved many many tf700's from meeting brick walls from pure frustration and hatred of Asus! My wife can attest to how many times I have said I want to break this thing into as many pieces as possible!

You and the other guys involved in this project have become heroes to all of us! Super Eco Heroes! (you know, for keeping these things from ending up in landfills)

So from the bottom of my heart, (and wallet!) Thank you for donating your expertise and time, which is actually the most precious thing we have!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Cheers! Good to know so many users are still hanging in there. 650 downloads in 24 hours is not too bad :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MegamanReplicant:
I hadn't touched this tablet for more than 10 mins in months. Now I'm able to actually make it my daily device again instead of using only my phone.

Just put beta 1 on a few days ago. I guess I should go ahead and wipe for beta 2 before getting everything too set up.

Do you think the structure will change enough after beta 2 that it will need a full wipe with format every time?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jp071848:
I always set it at 240 when flashing, as I did this time as well. I'll try it one more time and see what happens. Thanks for all the great work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcp2:
Every time I unplug from the wall charger, it reboots. Pain in the ass. Anyone else notice this? Now it optimizes apps at startup and reboots before finishing. it is on a bootloop now. I used TB to restore 1/2 my apps (non system) it was running fine until I unplugged it from the wall.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That is problem your end. Do a clean install and it will be fine so it is something you are restoring.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Try 213 instead.

Internal f2fs install

sdbags you absolutely rock, thankyou for all the effort you have put into making our tf700t's usable.

I've finally succeeded in installing on internal using f2fs filesystem. I tried numerous times but my knowledge is limited and I ended up settling on ext4. Until I stumbled on the following xda thread: [MOD] [All ROMS] F2FS for TF700T

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681775

I followed the instructions there to change my 'standard' TWRP recovery to TWRP_f2fs and BINGO I was able to auto install your awesome ROM on internal with the f2fs filesystem, and OMG!!! how good does my tablet run now, it's bloody awesome mate. Maybe it would be helpful for other noobs like me if this info was posted in the initial installation instructions?

Thank you again :good:

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

SORRY sbdags please excuse my Dyslexia.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jp071848:
That seems to have fixed the problem. I dirty re-flashed B2 with 213 DPI and the three offending apps all run fine. I guess I'll have to live with the lower resolution; I don't really notice it with my lousy eyesight anyway. ;o(

Thanks VERY much for the excellent effort.

IO poor

I use this rom, but my IO speed very poor 3000. I have f2fs, and didn't use app2sd. Do you think why?
[Asus Transformer TF700] delica:
This is just to thanks sdbags for the continuing development of this ROM. It’s made a tablet, that would otherwise be unusable and unsellable, still good enough to be used daily. Especially now with the last 3 betas or so and with the read ahead set to the minimum (128 I think), it’s really become a decent device again. Thanks again for the great work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That recovery is a little dated by now. I suggest you flash something current like this: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/recovery-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3049395

Hey guys, just wondering, it seems that the internal /data -f2fs is considered the way to go now.

I thought that the external sdcard /data - f2fs was supposed to be the best way to go, as the internal i/o was too slow.

Just checking before I make the change.

Thanks...

[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Have you tried the Grimlock kernel? ;)

Something about Lollipop does not like data2sd. For some reason now the internal installation has much better performance so stick with f2fs on internal
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You could try 224 if you want something close to stock, or if you don't mind a bit of manual editing go into the /system/build.prop and right at the end change the value to 239 which will give you as close to stock as you can get and keep the playstore working. I'll have to think about how we do this going forward.

3000 measured in what?

You are welcome - it is a team effort! :)

Yes Internal data + f2fs out performs data2sd. Data2sd is dead :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Firstly you shoud not flash this version of Zombi-Pop if you are being cautious. This is for the Transformer Tf700t

Secondly. There isn't a "tf201" version of Zombi-Pop YET. We just released the tf300t vesion http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3011353

I would also suggest TWRP over CWM because we are extensively testing TWRP with Zombi-Pop and I don't think any of us has really tested CWM with it.

Also you have your NVFLASH blobs right? :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] corb06:
Been using the tablet for a while now with Zombi-pop and noticed one annoying thing about landscape mode and lollipop. Whenever you get notifications and you want to clear them from the notification bar you have press the clear button from the center of the screen. Or swipe away notifications from the center. This means you have to hold the tablet in one hand to do the swipe maneuver with your other hand. It would be far better to have the notifications drop down either on right side or left side of the landscape screen. That way if you hold the tablet with two hands you don't have to let go of the grip to swipe away notifications.

And when docked in keyboard, you will have a closer distance to move hand to clear them away.
