[Asus Transformer TF700] iateshaggy:
i was about to install this when i realized my bootloader is x.x.x.8. are there any caveats on updating to .10? also, can i just flash the zip from asus with twrp?
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
Had 2 random reboots in the last 12hrs. Can't pull a kmsg because adb won't recognize the tab.

On labor day I decided to play around with an old htc phone. It wouldn't find the phone. After trying several solutions found online, nothing worked. I uninstalled the sdk that I was using and installed android suite. That didn't help. I figured I'd try the tf700 since I have 2 of them and have gone from cromi x through each rom up to lollipop. The computer sees the devices but adb doesn't. I'm not a total noob, but i'm also not a programmer. Everything I have learned about flashing recoveries and roms has been from reading the forums, starting with cromi x. It's been 5 days of research and I still can't get adb to find either of my 2 tf700 or the phone.

The way I see it is if you guys can't help me i'm in trouble.

I unistalled the android suite and went back to my original sdk download since it was the one that I used for all my other adb functions. No luck. Last night I deleted any sdk programs I could find and downloaded and installed a stand alone version of sdk. No luck.

I have tried numerous drivers: google drivers, koushe's drivers, asus drivers, naked drivers and more. I tried different cables and different usb ports. I installed sdk on my laptop and it still didn't work. I should mention that my desktop pc is windows 7 home and my laptop is windows 7 ultimate. I have read posts where they want you to go into the windows operating system and change script. That is above my paygrade unless its a last resort. I started early on reading the primer on xda about how to use adb, even though I have used it several times. Yes, I have usb debugging enabled.

It's amazing how many people have problems with adb. This shouldn't be so problematic. What's the secret?

Thanks guys!

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's fair advice for the cards as fsync off can corrupt them - maybe I should re-write the aroma scripts so that it is default off or only turn it on if rom2sd or data2sd are not selected ... Hmm food for thought...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
I just took the leap and went with Z-Pop external f2fs, it's really smooth and really fast, unverified Antutu score of 23.7k.

When there is a new release, and I flash that release, I'm assuming there is no reliable way to transfer all apps and settings from the previous release? Just set up apps manually again? I know I can do restore from G play, but the last time I did that, a mass restore of apps seemed to affect the performance of the ROM in a bad way, so I have always disabled the restore option and manually installed all my apps again, one by one. I don't have a lot, so it's no big deal. Just curious if there's another option.

I'm guessing you guys do a nandroid (data2sd1.zip for external install) and then factory wipe from TWRP, and flash the new ROM from there?

I forgot to mention, so far it's been very stable. I can't get it to crash on G Books like the Zombi-x 4.4 did on the TF700, but then again, I might have accidentally done a dirty flash after getting the 'encryption unsuccessful' error on my first try. It also seemed to be trying to use my fat32 partition for app storage, from the look of the partition after pulling it out for another f2fs format.
[Asus Transformer TF700] toolmanz:
Just updated from beta 4 to 5 and this thing flies - Data2SD - F2FS on the Omni kernel. :D

Great work and thanks to the developers. :good:

Has anyone tested this kernel and Zombi-Pop with ART? I have had good luck but this is new on the TF700.

Thanks

For those of you that may be having issues with this change in beta 5 :

It seems you can see "SDCARDI" but you can't write to it. I have this problem every time I do a fresh install. In case its not just me ......

Works for me. :D

Hope this helps.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK lollipop only uses ART ;)

And good tip about sdcardi - I will see if I can set the permissions correctly on it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I use titanium backup to restore user data + apps with - it works fine as long as you don't restore any system apps.

As for crashing I have toned down the tweaks a bit. I was too aggressive with some of them on zombi-x and crombi-kk which is why beta 4 was crashing (same tweaks). So we have sacrificed a little speed for stability ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
If I can stick my oar in here as an "end user," Lollipop is running via ART rather than the old DALVIK. If you don't know what the heck that means (sbdags does, I'm not talking to him!), don't worry about it, except for the following.... ART does installs slower than DALVIK did, so initially you might be wondering just what the advantages are of Lollipop over KitKat. But when you go to run things post-installation you should observe quite a bit more snap to things, both on the operating system level overall and with the various apps. Nothing is universal in such matters, but I already have noted a couple things here I greatly appreciate. The browsers seem more stable, but also quite fast, despite the fact I always disable the browser tweaks on the top of that last page during installation. And I also note the screen isn't flickering as much or dimming and brightening as much as it did with beta 4. I really like speed, but even more I like stability. I use this baby to do a whole lot -- it has become virtually my lone laptop (replacing even a macbook air in 90 percent of my usage).
[Asus Transformer TF700] mlinfoot:
Similar experience. Install went very smoothly and after using the tablet for a day, have only seen one small glitch -- seems to lose wireless connection sometimes with an authentication-related error. Sorry, but I can't reproduce and it's a minor issue at this point. All internal install, but my Kingston 64GB class 10 microSD card arrived today, so onto rom2sd next!

Thanks to all for your amazing work! Very impressive.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Very non-critical issue. ;) I note on my beta 5 the battery charging icon does not display the lightening bolt it is supposed to when charging. Just to ease folks' minds, if that happens to you open the battery indicator in settings and you'll likely see it is in fact charging (give it a few minutes to show it has been charging before opening).

And a second equally non-critical issue... Under Settings > Developer Options > Force GPU Rendering, isn't that supposed to be checked by default (unless deselected during the install)? In both beta 4 and beta 5, I had to manually check it after the installation...

And hey, to sbdags and everyone else involved... *great* work. I'll try to refrain from posting so much now... hehehe....
[Asus Transformer TF700] pastorbob62:
Well, after my fiasco with Kindle Reader and the reformat and reinstall things ran like a dream. Very impressive. So I give the tablet to my wife so she could take it thorugh its paces. I told her when I handed it to her, "It's down to 65% on the battery and it's overclocked, so don't push it too long before plugging it in." Maybe I should have been more specific because an hour and fifteen minutes later she's still playing Hay Day. So I remind her to plug it in. "I'm going to bed in a few," she says. twenty minutes later she comes in the kitchen and says, "Well it died." YA THINK! :D

So this morning after charging all night she tries to start it up. Of course being on f2fs it is totally corrupted and all she gets is an hour of the ZOMBi-Pop logo. Her excuse? "Well I couldn't see the battery logo while on Hay Day so I didn't know it was that low." HELLO? And they say we don't listen. Reinstalling now and hopefully she has learned. But probably not. ;)

Which brings me to a question. Is there a way to set it so if the battery drops below, say, 10% it will shut down automatically? I poked around but didn't see a way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
Tasker can do this. And thousands of other things. You can create a popup that happens when your battery gets to a user set value. My tab sends a message to my phone when low.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Okay, just one more? ;) So enthusiastic about this rom. I just ran enough stuff to completely fill the memory and finally bog it down... including Chrome surfing and the Xii Live Radio app slamming away some Trance music. Hehehe. But though it slowed down, even stuttered around some finally, there was no reboot and no other sign of distress.

Accompanying this is the fact that the tap runs warm but not as warm as it did with beta 4 -- that got almost hot to my admittedly subjective touch. Pulling the tweaks down some settings-wise has really helped the whole experience.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes - it's always a balance. You can't have great performance without the heat and battery life suffering. I have probably changed these tweaks hundreds of times since I started doing this - always trying to find the best ones ...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
Beta 5

Dirty flash over B4. Rom2Sd, Apex, straight defaults. (my first departure from _thatv11)

First pass was successful, but I felt it was not as good as B4, jerky. Antutu was 22k+, but Quadrant wouldn't even load, so I reflashed dirty over it. (yes, I let had let it "season")

This time it really sings...Antutu at 24K+, no tweaks and everything seems to be working great, except I have no Voice Text input icon on any keyboard except Thumb,

And where is the ScreenShot found now?

You guys get any better, we'll have to elect you to Congress and let you fix that too.

[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:

"Voice Text input icon on any keyboard except Thumb" Can I get a bit more info on this, not following..... :p

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rubister:
Not sure how this is supposed to work... Under the Performance tab, when I change the values for the CPU, does it change instantly? And if I check 'on boot' underneath, it's supposed to apply the same values at next boot, right? But on a reboot, they're changed again. Do I need a separate app to manage the CPU speed values?

I go to the Performance tab in settings randomly after a while and the CPU speed indicator on the cores is at 1600 and then quickly bounces down to where I've set it at 1150. I feel like the tablet is trying to keep me at 1600 or higher and hoping I won't notice... very sneaky if you ask me. ;) Should I use something like CPU Adjuster to get it to stay where I've set it or am I doing something wrong here? I tried no-frills CPU Control and it still shows it bouncing up to 1600 even though I have it set at 1150 both in performance settings and in the CPU Control app. I'm clueless...

P.s. I'd like to help with log files after I had a crash on the ROM today, where do I export those from?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
The CPU does not normally run full-out always at the top speed. That's a bit wearing on the battery. The top speed is set so that it is there when needed, which is definitely not all the time. Can't think you really want to limit the speed of your tab to 1150... but if you want to, it should work. I've been mucking about with mine, which after a reinstall to play some more tonight seems to have limited me to 1700 instead of 1800. ;) Anyway, if you really want info on all those settings such as "bfq" and the like, I'd google it on xda. Probably dozens of pages on it. Look for overclocking as well. Quite diverting if you are a bit gaga on your tablet. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The ROM scales the CPU cores as needed. Touch the screen and it will go up as it is now expecting you to use the tab. It should idle at 204 if not used. No CPU app required as there are about 5 or 6 tabs of settings under performance.

1150 is far too high for idle.

Read post 3 and links for logs. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
I shoulda gone to bed. Instead, I just had to find out if fsync off would work better in beta 5 than it did in beta 4 (or even Zombi-X for that matter). The answer? No. Spontaneous reboot, and I had to run a "fix file permissions" program to get rid of UID errors. But hey, now I know. ;) G'night.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I didn't zip align any of the modified apks. Some people think it is not worth it, but the script is there just in case. It writes a log file to /data/zipalign.log so you can see what it does. Which highlights that it is not running so I need to fix it with the new way lollipop locates apk files :) :eek:

I get the same answer as in windows when I type adb devices.

List of devices attached. No serial numbers or device names.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Since you have tried several computers and USB ports I am thinking: cable. Are you sure you are using an original Asus cable and not some cheap "charge only" knock-off?

I have 2 asus cables. Tried them both. Tried both tabs with windows. Been keeping one available to communicate with you guys, so I only tried one on linux. I also tried the phone that started this whole event. I have a pc that I use for work with win xp, but i'd rather not get it involved.

Device backup to Google not working?

I have this Rom installed on my TF700 and also a TF300, but neither device is listed in Googles activity list for my account. I have an old Nexus 7 2012 with stock JB Rom and that is the only device listed. Is this an issue with the ROM, or a Gapps issue? But the real question is, does anyone know how I can backup my device(s) to Google so that reinstalling/updating the ROm is easier? I have configured Google Play Services on the Asus tablets exactly the same as in the Nexus 7.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not sure what you mean? Is the google play store working correctly?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
Google Play works fine. I am referring to the automatic backup of system so that when I reinstall/upgrade the ROM and sign in to my Google account it will identify the device and offer to restore apps and settings from backup on Google's servers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
The saga continues. Last night I reinstalled android suite and the sdk package from developers.android.com. When I type adb devices I get "list of devices attached", "adb server is out of date. Killing", "ADB server didn't ACK", *failed to start daemon*, BUT if I type "fastboot devices" I get the device serial number (phone or tablet). Everything that I have read over the past week says to type adb devices to see the device. What gives? Does this mean that I can perform the same functions if I want to flash something?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yep :confused:

When the device is booted into android or recovery one uses 'adb'

When the device is in bootloader on would use 'fastboot'

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
So you're saying that I can flash a recovery even if adb doesn't see the device? What about the server is out of date message. What does that mean?

I'm trying to learn more about this stuff as you guys encourage, that's why I picked up the old htc phone that was collecting dust.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes, that is correct one can use fastboot to flash recovery .....

If you want a list of commands for fastboot, type 'fastboot' into CMD window. ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You use adb when booted to Android or in recovery.

Fastboot commands you run in fastboot mode.

Read this to unravel the mystery:

?
[Asus Transformer TF700] biggyrat:
That was one of the primers that I tried early on, but not the first. Step 1. Type fastboot devices. I kept typing adb devices. I looked right past the word "fastboot" word because several of the other sites said type "adb devices". Once I did that and the list came up empty, I figured that I had a problem and started looking for solutions. What had me baffled is that I unlocked both of my tf700 and rooted one when I installed cromi x a couple of years ago, so I expected them to show up with no problems. All this started, as I told lj, because I started playing around with an old htc phone so I could learn on a different device. Needless to say I learned something.

So, since so many people seem to have trouble getting adb to list their devices, what state should the device be in to issue that command. All I seem to remember reading is "enter fastboot" then type "adb devices".

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I have the same experience. When coming back up from a clean install, Google asks if I'd like to restore from one of a few backups.

Since the TF700T backup listed is always old, I use it as an opportunity to clean out apps I don’t use as often as I expected. //smile

It also means that I get clean and current apps. No no pesky ghosts in the machine...
[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
The outcome you describe I would be happy with. In my case Google sometimes asks if I'd like to restore, but then fails to restore, or more likely, doesn't offer any option to restore at all. And its this situation I am seeking a solution to. Everything else to do with Google works fine - Play Store, syncing, email, contacts etc. Just no restore option or restore fails.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vanquishedangel:
Hope all is going well with this ROM, so far I love it. I removed the original launcher and went with ADW, for lightweight. Plus apex was having issues with folders and force closes. Also I installed LSpeed module and xposed framework and both seem compatible and working except multi window, neither xhalo or xmultiwindow work yet. I hope this means a release is coming, I am very excited.
[Asus Transformer TF700] XDMerciless:
I had the exact same problem as well - couldn't format to f2fs using TWRP 2.8.7.0 for the Asus TF700T. I ended using alternate recovery, KANG TWRP 2.8.7.2 which successfully formatted the data partition.

I can confirm that within TWRP 2.8.7.0 that even after factory wipe and performing a clean ext4 data partition format didn't resolve the Mkfs error either when attempting the f2fs conversion, it would seem the current version does not support the -r switch for whatever reason, but KANG TWRP 2.8.7.2 does work.

I also love this ROM, my TF700T has been resurrected! :good:

I appreciate all the work the team has put together, thanks to [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION], [MENTION=2158597]hardslog[/MENTION], [MENTION=4227727]ikkeT[/MENTION], and the all beta testers.

I finally came around to updating the ROM today, getting fed up with the lag and bugginess on a 2-3 year old stock JB ROM. I decided instead of retiring the TF700T, buying a new tablet, I'd try to get more life by rooting it. Thought it wouldn't hurt to try, ASUS has dropped support entirely a year ago, but thank god for the Android dev community. Also a big thank you to berndblb, for putting together a layman's guide specific to the TF700T, as I haven't stayed current on the latest and greatest, dived into the Android APIs and SDKs, and been awhile since I've rooted a device.

Keep up the good work, and I look forward to future tweaks and iterations! :D

I am hoping the experts here can help me out as I am having an issue and have tried a number of things to resolve all with no luck. I have also done some searching of these threads and haven't found (at least in the Transformer Forums) any resolution that has worked for me. So to my issue:

I am getting what seems to be a common Wifi error when Lollipop was originally released where I get the exclamation point next to my Wifi signal indicator and can't connect to any sites or get authenticated by google.

When going through the initial setup after flashing the ROM I get this error after entering in my Wifi info and connecting to the network:

Couldn't Sign In

Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.

This could be a temporary problem. Try again or connect to another wifi network.

If I then just move forward by skipping this step in the setup once I get in if I try and pull up the web browser I get:

The webpage at http://clients3.google.com/generate_204 could not be loaded because:

net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

I am flashing this with Rom2SD with data formatted to F2FS and have done fresh wipes and formats whenever installing/reinstalling. I have tried loading the ROM a couple times and am still getting the same issue. I have also tried numerous random fixes I have found XDA and elsewhere. Mostly simple things like toggling airplane mode, setting up the SSID manually, rebooting my router, and trying other wifi all with no luck.

The closest I have gotten was one post they suggested to run this command from terminal emulator:

settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0

That did eliminate the exclamation point, but I still can't get google to authenticate when going into the play store and still the same error when trying to pull up any sites from the web browser. If you need an logcats to assist just let me know and I will get those pulled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hekdog:
Alrighty, nevermind I did find one post about 10 pages or so back with a reference to this issue and there was a comment made on why not just try installing with internal data as that should be much better with this ROM so I did that and looks like we are all good to go.

Now lets hope this thing runs decently on internal for once since I have been on a Data2SD or Rom2SD rom for quite some time since the last time this thing was still on internal data it was basically unusable.

Either way thanks to all involved with this as it is just one more reason to keep me going with this tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ruffryder281:
