Great rom;

I have tried 6 different roms on my tf700t since stock; and of them all - this is by far the best of the stock roms....

I'm having problems that may be solved with some settings tweaks.

I suffer from a 3 to 5 second delay every time I click anything (stock rom things happened instantly)

It will freeze for 10 seconds at a time when clearing data from apps or from time to time - or randomly when using any app ('___ is not responding do you want to wait or...?' is the message)

When using the keyboard dock; often the typing area of various programs will 'deactivate' (forcing me to re touch the tying area, wait a second or 5 then continue typing)

I imagine these are related to a setting tweak that can be done but I can not find a walkthrough of suggested settings.

I can not imagine using this rom in its current state; I have only read through the first 20 pages of replies to this but am guessing that others are not experiencing these issues...?

Any suggestions? I really don't want to revert to stock...

-Thanks.

I did try other players (VLC, BSPlayer, KMPlayer and HD videoPlayer). None of them worked for me although VLC was very slightly better (the movie would start playing slightly faster than with MXPlayer (but would not necessarily always start).

I don't currently own another Lolipop device, so I cannot try your other option. I did search the web for potential problems of playing HD movies on Lollipop but I did not find anything substantial (that does not mean there isn't one obviously).

Thanks

If the community wants it, I can put together a minimal asus apps package for zombi-pop using kitkat apps. Many old apps will not be present, but things like battery widget do still work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
Not yet. I do have a Nexus 7 2013. It appears that Lollipop 5.1 is finally available for it. I'll upgrade it and test MX Player. I'll follow up with the results.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Ran into a curious problem with ONE app... and it also happens with my Galaxy Note II phone (running a custom lollipop there as well). The MySword bible program has in the past allowed me to store the data files (bibles, commentaries, and so on) on my external microsd card. But suddenly this option no longer works. Not only that, when I choose the option of the external micro-sd, the card itself is actually unmounted. Very weird. I had to move the data files to my internal sd on both this tablet and my phone. For anyone else experiencing this -- and this is meant to be the punch line -- I suspect the problem is probably not with our Zombi-Pop version of Lollipop but rather with the way the MySword program works with Lollipop, period. I don't have any device new enough to have the factory version of Lollipop on, so can't be absolutely sure about that latter assertion...
[Asus Transformer TF700] asus700:
I'm running MX player and it is running great so far I haven't tried sw but have hw and hw+ expected it would as its the only program never to lag on the old factory jellybean
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Have you run the build.prop tweak that allows applications to write to the external SD card?
[Asus Transformer TF700] glecko:
Try using the SW Decoder vs the HW Decoder, see if that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Thanks for the info. I can't greenify, it says I need Xposed installed. Xposed says it is no good on LP,yet. How do you do it? What do you use to determine apps memory usage?

lmm
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
You can greenify with just root, while some features do require xposed it works fine for the purpose at hand.

For memory consumption you can use the running apps on Android settings, but for sure there are more in depth tools.

I usually just freeze them or uninstall when I just installed something which is starting to cause problems.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GreenHornZounds:
:good:

if possible, and that other people in the community want also, I would love to! thanks a lot :)

personally, except maybe the app locker, I do not think I would miss the other app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I've never heard of that one. At the moment, I can copy files to and from the micro-sd with other apps. Plus Moon Reader accesses all my books from there (around 9000 of 'em!) and has no problem. Are you speaking of a tweak for the MySword app itself? Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TrofeoSC:
[MENTION=5625510]kansasboy001[/MENTION] that would be great to have what ever would work. Would that also include the day scene?

This works great, get to know it and set it up as you like. I've been using it on all my devices
[Asus Transformer TF700] JBT1:
Thanks Jbb3393, will give it a try.
[Asus Transformer TF700] braddles69:
did I do it right?

[MENTION=5625510]kansasboy001[/MENTION] plus one to that would be greatly appreciated.

Now, I have been following this thread since the beginning (wanting to change to LP when my Moto X 2013 gets it...alas still waiting), and just wanted to quickly question how I have done things and if they sound correct.

I am on the correct bootloader and have came from Zombi KK, i had that installed internally, then did f2fs for system on external and reinstalled, was much better than the stock. Quite pleased and quite useful too!

Big thanks to all the devs for keeping this tab very much alive and kicking.

Now for Zombi Pop, I did the wipe from recovery of all internal and then installed, however upon boot it said optimising apps etc and when finished was quite laggy, so I thought okay, better wipe again and this time I also wiped system and data on the external, this time it started as if new and took me through the whole setup wizard for android.

I loaded all my apps individually from the playstore (which took a while), I don't have Facebook or Chrome installed, went with sdbags best option for data2sd, and while it is working quite well still seems a little bit laggy between touches.

So then I tried another install going to ROM2SD (knowing that I already had it internal) I have left it for about 18 hrs and everything is okay, I think I recall one reboot, but this was during a sideload of Amazon appstore (so I could get AVG Tablet Pro which I got free on one of their free days).

The temps during that app install were getting up to about 68C, but have returned to 40-50 during normal use.

BTW my MX player is working fine with all movies served up from my NAS, DTS and DD working fine with HW+ for video and SW decode for audio.

Antutu score of 22062, and quadrant of 7760.

So my question is as it feels a fraction slower than the Zombi KK did I screw things up? And if so, should I do another install to internal only with data2sd, and when wiping check everything (all internal and all external) to make sure it is totally clean? And is I do so will my f2fs system partition still formatted as such for the data2sd?

Thanks again all for your very hard slog;) work..;)

isn't there a lot of writing to /cache ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kevinthefixer:
Good question, and one I don't have an answer for. Perhaps in [MENTION=6168338]yurem[/MENTION]'s next report?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No the only thing that r/w from the /cache partition is the recovery......

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Blombardo:
If there are no suggestions;

Can someone tell me - is it NORMAL for this rom to have a 5 to TWENTY second delay when doing mundane tasks that normally happen instantly (or with a 1 second delay) on the stock rom?

I'm hoping that there is an advanced setting somewhere that can solve whatever random issue I am having. Sometimes it runs perfectly normal for a few clicks; perfetly speedy... then other times it hangs...

=Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No it certainly is not - which you would know if you read even part of the thread. Check your setup:

bootloader version is 10.6.1.14.10?

recovery is TWRP 2.8.+?

Did you do at least a full wipe of data, cache and Dalvik?

If all of the above checks out, format data in TWRP, then convert data to f2fs and reinstall the rom.

That should fix it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Not normal. Without knowing more -- say, with a log file if it shows the problem -- folks would probably be guessing.

* Internal or external install?

* Complete wipe of previous install?

* Correct boot loader?

* formatted data f2fs (using twrp if needed)?

And so on. So many possibilities for the problem. I've been running beta 6 of Zombi-Pop on internal and find it amazingly smooth, even with the infernal browser "out of memory" problems. Yes, I've now had that happen once or twice to me after extensive browsing.... but overall, so stable I can actually forget I'm using a tablet that in effect is somewhat crippled physically.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
The MicroSD card is formatted using NTFS which supports huge file sizes.

I just upgraded my Nexus 7 2013 to Lollipop 5.1. I copied the M4V movie file > 2GB that would not run under Zombi-Pop to the internal memory using USB cable. I installed MX Player Pro to the same version that I was having problems with, 1.7.38.

On the Nexus 7 with the Google release of Lollipop 5.1 and MX Player Pro 1.7.38 (ARMv7 NEON Codec) and a M4V file > 2GB:

- Using the H/W decoder, the M4V file works perfectly fine.

- Using the S/W decoder it also plays fine.

This seems to indicate that there is a problem on Zombi-Pop 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 Beta 6 will only play M4V files < 2GB. Files over 2GB results in an error in MX Player (Tegra3 Codec).
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
Interesting. Doesn't sound very cache-y
[Asus Transformer TF700] yurem:
I find more info about Android partitions here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/

/cache

This is the partition where Android stores frequently accessed data and app components. Wiping the cache doesn’t effect your personal data but simply gets rid of the existing data there, which gets automatically rebuilt as you continue using the device.

But I'm not sure that Android 5.1 if still use it for caching...

I submitted pull request with changes to init. Now it detects /system partition type before mounting it. Also it write information about /system and /cache portions to fs_detected

cat fs_detected

FS_mmcblk0p1=f2fs

This update allows to modify /system and /cache mount options in fstab.cardhu from 30fstab-f2fs script.
[Asus Transformer TF700] curiou5:
I did clean install the ROM 5 times using TWRP 2.6.8.0 and each time I got this com.android.phone error. Before this I was using Crombi-x 4.4.4 version.

What did I do wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kf-ics-dan:
You need to be using TWRP 2.8+
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Take a look at [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] post I quoted here ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] kobyz:
That way fixed it for me. Had lags and FCs after first Zombi install but now runs faster and smoother.

No shortcuts. Format data in TWRP take forever but worth it.

Be aware that's the internal SD you are formatting and backup.

Like a semi-new tablet ;)

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] yurem:
I even can't believe that there is such detailed information about partitions.

Thx Yuriy
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
What does that even mean ??

The info is all there for anyone to read ..... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] yurem:
I think you don't understand me correctly. Sorry, for my English. I think it was time consuming to gather information into table about partitions. That's why I was surprised. Thank you :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Why?

[MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION]

Why are we to wipe internal /data if we're formatting it to F2FS? Doesn't formatting wipe everything? What am I missing?

Thanks,

lmm
[Asus Transformer TF700] msssm:
Sorry for being unprecise and confusing. As a lot of people are working fine with Zombi-Pop and the TF700T there must be something wrong with my setup.

Yes, it is all about 3rd party apps: K-9 takes 20 sec. to start and another 20 sec. to print the first mail. Wait/Cancel questions..

Nova launcher can hardly move the desktop. Coming back from Firefox the Nova Launcher is often killed and reloads the icons taking > 15 seconds.

Firefox often crashes. Also the notification draw bar sometimes crashes and reloads.

Booting to system takes more than 5 minutes, after the boot splash and the android letters, there is a long time black screen until unlocker appears.

Bootloader is: Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" A03

I guess this is the latest, ending on .10. But how can a bootloader slow down the system that way?

As for the Firefox browser, I think the browser2ram could just consume too much memory. I'll reinstall without that.

As the SD-Card is often the key for being slow or fast, I'm not sure if that SDHC 64GB is fast enough. Quick hdparm -t on my Desktop with built-in card-reader says 5 MB/s only. But on a Windows Notebook with builtin-reader, I was able to read data with 20MB/s, not the best benchmark, but it seems that different reader hardware give different results.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That should definitely not take so long.

Firefox for Android is really bad. Really really bad. Uses lots of memory and is slow. The browser of the 4.2 stock ROM is faster by an order of magnitude.

Some SD cards are optimized for sequential access (taking photos or videos) and can be unusably slow when used as storage for an operating system, where random access speed is important.

Wow, that post was from 2012, only 1 month after I joined XDA. You have a lot of confidence in that junior member. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
TWRP's Format Data option does a secure erase, wiping and trimming each block, then writing the ext4 file system. Converting to f2fs doesn't do that. Just writes the f2fs file system. Your data is gone nevertheless, but it seems that the secure erase benefits our tablets greatly. Maybe because of changes from KK to LP, maybe because our devices are old enough by now to really need a good scrubbing - I have no idea...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I think I have read this somewhere else .... :p:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Ah, Sensi

Elegant and to the point as usual. I'm humbled.

Guess I'd better bite the bullet.

Thank you,

Tablet lighting fast, no lagging, not even a hiccup yet, been using it since, B6 release, Using That_, F2FS Data.

The tablet it's not lagging while im installing or updating another app.

AwesomeJob Guys.
[Asus Transformer TF700] msssm:
Mine has also improved performance, after moving back to internal /data with F2FS. The external SD was just too slow as it looks like. However Firefox is still too slow, but the stock browser works, FF is just too big for that hardware it seems. Or does anybody use it successfully?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
Stick with the Stock Browser. You will be MUCH happier!. Also, to note about the Stock Browser.....if you are a Facebook Junkie (like I am), and you want to view Flash videos, go to Settings > Advanced > UAString and change to IPad. As stated in previous post, Firefox "Sucks" on Android. I use it all the time on my Windows Desktop, and my Linux machine, but it really is bad on Android devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Blombardo:
Thanks for the two replies; One question.

-Only 'Data' should be changed to f2fs? or Data and Cache? or Data, Cache and system?

I have decided to start over; I spent around two hours researching and learning more... I believe my previous slow and random freezing issues could be due to the fact that I was not using F2Fs.

*Previously I did not know how to change these settings; I simply knew how to format and wipe all the data. The ROM instructions on page 1 do not specify which of these to change to F2Fs - so I changed all that I could. Previous comments suggested changing ' Data' - without mentioning system and cache; not sure if I made a mistake changing them all.

Dalvik Cache -unchangable (invalid partition)

System - changed to f2fs

Cache - changed to f2fs

Data - changed to f2fs

Internal storage - invalid partition (unchangable)

MicroSD card -vfat - left alone

While reinstalling for the second time, I choose to view all options step by step (writing them down; choosing default settings) - It ended with an error "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"

Upon rebooting the tablet it 're rooted me' - then restarted again and simply froze after identifying the partitions...

So I tried again - noticing this time around that the *System" partition was changed back to ext4 by the installation program (So I guess my mistake was corrected by the rom; and that it wanted my Cache and Data to be f2fs)

I did not wipe everything - this time I simply restarted the installation; chose option 2 this time (auto install sdbags best options internal (fastest tweaks)

Upon restart I once again get the strange wavy lines on the bootup... seems to be working ok; it will take me a long time to test it out and see if the problems have gone away... re downloading all the apps alone will take a few hours on my slow wifi connection...

Thanks for your support; I'm going to sleep now; hopefully those little wavy lines will be finished doing their thing by the time I wake up...

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 AM ----------

--

Edit - it has been a few hours and the wavy lines are not going away; I've forced a restart and ... still... wavy lines that aren't doing anything. I guess I'll have to restart - wipe and delete everything and then reinstall for a 4th attempt at making this work...

Any idea why I would get this screen with wavy horizontal white lines? - no text - no error message... ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Wavy white lines.... if they are spiked, it is the regular way that sbdag's default installation of Zombi-Pop looks when it boots. It's boot-up animation.

But.... Please -- f2fs *ONLY* data. That is all. You need to reformat the rest back to ext4. THEN install Zombi-Pop. If you format other partitions as f2fs you will not succeed in booting the operating system. I'd suggest very slowly reading the directions for the install at the beginning of this thread again.

Best of luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Blombardo:
-Edit 2 - After restarting from scratch - and specifically putting everything back onto ext4 (except for leaving Data only at f2fs) the wavy lines have gone away and it has properly loaded. Now I can begin to restore my files with titanium and test things out.

I'm GUESSING that only Data should be F2Fs by process of elimination
[Asus Transformer TF700] braddles69:
amazon app is hot!

HI, thanks again to the devs for their hard work, as I stated in my previous post, I have followed this thread from the beginning.

Little disappointed no one replied to my post, my first post here but as I stated, I have followed this thread from the beginning, long time lurker, but I was considering this as research before I attempted the LP move.

Anyway I formatted the internal as suggested in previous replies to other posters, and formatted data as f2fs, i/o of my previous external setup with data/f2fs. Reloaded all my apps from playstore, and as I previously stated, sideloaded amazon app store so I could install avg pro tablet.

Well, this went well, but upon reboot noticed my tab is getting seriously hot, using cpu temp recorded consistent temps of 65-70c running and the tab was almost to hot too touch, so uninstalled amazon app store and they immediatley dropped to 37-45c range, just for others info if they need it.

Also my antutu score dropped to 20543 but quadrant rose to 8054, and most importantly the responsive of the tab increased with the internal/data f2fs...so thanks again sdbags for all your hard work, I appreciate all the little niggling troubleshooting you must have been doind in concert with other hard workers in this forum.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
Use Servicely or Greenify to freeze the (in this case Amazon) app to make sure it doesn't run all the time in the background. My guess is that's your problem :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] yurem:
You are right, In current version only /data should have f2fs filesystem
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
In all version of zombi-pop /data is the only one to format to f2fs ... :good:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] msssm:
After moving /data back from SD to internal (also F2FS) the performance has improved but only little. Using the stock browser is better as well.

But I have to admit it is still far from optional. Usual task like switching from the Google Search app to the stock browser and back takes 20 seconds and more. However I'm sure this is about I/O because browsing and searchhing large PDF documents with Acrobat is very fluent and fast compared to older devices I had. There I see the graphic and pure CPU performance of the TF700T, but any app switching it not acceptable. As discussed in the #asus-transformer channel I'm going to start from scratch with a clean formatted rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
My bad. It's not build.prop, it's this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Lol yes the wavy lines are there on purpose :)

It presents successive pulses from the first pulsar discovered, PSR B1919+21 ;) Also the brilliant album cover - Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division.

So stop worrying about it - it's perfectly normal ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
It turns out the issue was something I could not track down. Still not sure what happened, but I lost not only the program functions but the touch screen functions. Could have spent time figuring out what happened, but a quick wipe and reinstall seems to have cured the issue. Strangest behavior I've seen on the tab.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
Has anyone tried to get the ps4 controller to pair with zombipop?

I have seen there it is able to pair, and I do see it as an option, and can begin to pair, but then it just sits there idle.

[Asus Transformer TF700] XdrummerXboy:
New to the thread here.

Is this device the same as the TF700t? (notice the T at the end)

If so, I've had junky performance ever since android 4.2. Sounds like this could be in part due to the bootloader? How do I check which version its on, and which version SHOULD it be on? Links to the correct version please?

Also, how is the performance of this ROM?

I always try a custom ROM, only to fall back to 4.1 because it was actually usable...

Any info is greatly appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mbutash:
Boot into the rom loader, volume up and power when it reboots, let off when you see the text in the upper left. That's your bootloader version.

I thought I'd actually put the 10 version on there as recommended, but looking at the download, I got the older version instead, must have clicked on the wrong link and not noticed the versioning. I sort of gave up on this a while back, but was impressed with lollipop on my z1 compact, figured I'd check for a resurrection.

It's usable, but performance is still horribly sluggish compared to the z1 compact, making it only useful for viewing webex's for me, but it "is" usable again.
