Best config for internal install

Hi all

Can anyone suggest best configuration for an internal instal?l I originally installed the first public beta (19/01/2015 -beta 5?) with all the default options but it went into a terminal boot loop during restoration of backed up apps.

Then I did a dirty install with the Gimlock kernal and no browser2ram (browser crashes take the whole system with them) or the zip tweak and it is OK on performance and SIO i/o scheduler but it is still a little like walking through treacle and really unusable until at least 15 minutes after power on.

I particularly want to know what the main kernal differences (which are more stable which are fastest etc.) and what the touch screen tweaks are doing.

Sorry about asking specifically (rather than gleaning the info form the various posts) but most of the comments here are not concerning internal installs so it is difficult to judge how much info they give me.

Have a little question about this

If i have a 64 GB Class 10 MIcro SD, 50 % Fat32 50% F2FS also my internal tablet memory should be F2FS?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
Please don't flame me as I am not posting a log cat, but I do not have a PC to do so and not getting it booted I'm not able to get one... Any ways, I'm trying to get this running using F2FS. I've tried probably ten different times and I can't get it to boot. I can with ext4 though. Can someone tell in twrp 2.8.4 exactly which file systems do I need to convert to F2FS? I have converted all, some, only data, and still no luck. Also after converting data, if I go back to format data in twrp, the one where you have to type "yes", it will format it back to ext4... Sorry for the long lost I'm just confused
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
I've noticed that too.

I did some testing yesterday. Took a 100% charged TF700 with the B5 Crombi-pop running external R2sd, F2FS and defaults, and noted battery status at 30 minute intervals, for a couple of hours to see. Display was left ON (I do a lot of ebook reading)

Time %

0:30 87%

1:00 75%

1:30 64%

2:00 55%

Assuming the battery percentage calibration is fairly close, this would indicate that little more than 4 hours is available on Pop as configured.

Subjectively, my gut feeling is that the battery life is shorter on B5 than Chromi-X (still my main squeeze)

Looks like that was the problem - so far, so good as far as the random reboots go. I had been formatting / repairing the extSD from TWRP along the way, but looks like that process isn't thorough enough. I'm thinking the partition table on the card was corrupted along the way causing some of these out of memory errors.

A follow up on the battery icon:

Ever since this update, my tablet seems to charge and charge for a really long time and the battery level never increases. I'm charging it through the dock currently. Going to test it now with charging the tablet directly.

Did I need to enable the dock battery icon in the installer, even though it no longer works? Or is there a different issue going on here?
[Asus Transformer TF700] NonoWeber:
Like your charger / cable perhaps ??

NanoWeber
[Asus Transformer TF700] primaleph:
Not likely, since it charges normally under earlier versions of this ROM, as well as KatKiss 6.0.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
so did it charge directly connected to the Tab?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dirt_Bag:
Hi folks, I just flashed this ROM on Tuesday 1/5/16 and me say THANK YOU to all who made it possible! I formatted /data and converted to F2FS before flashing, then accepted all defaults during install. As others experienced, my first boot took a long time. The tablet stayed pretty warm during my first session using it. I'm using the Google Now launcher. My only complaints so far;

The experience is still laggy ?. Once I am "in" a single app its butter, but switching among apps is very laggy. It actually reminds me of the stock JB at times...

I would like to see more options on the notification pull-down widget. Performance profiles, for example, would be nice. I liked that about the stock ROM.

Can someone please explain the different performance settings available in this ROM, or point me in the right direction?

Cheers!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ffd173:
Mine does the same thing with the charging after this update. Any ideas why?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dirt_Bag:
This ROM is almost unusable :banghead: Battery is draining at almost 1% a minute and the lag is infuriating. What is recommended for a smooth mobile experience?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
I don't think every person using this ROM has battery draining problem. Maybe it's certain apps, or you can try to reinstall it with formatting data and full wipe.

I have tried all kinds of ROMs. ZOMBi-POP, KatKiss 5 and 6, Omni ROM, CROMBi-kk, etc. They are all much faster than stock ROM, but I think CROMBi-kk with f2fs /data is the smoothest.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
Have you looked at any battery stat apps to try and find what's draining most?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rippolito1:
RC2 works like a champ

I installed RC2, with no problems to date. It seems to run better than RC1. I ran the Quadrant benchmark suite, and though I didn't get as a a score as sbdags, I did improve from 8048 (RC1) to a little over 8500 on RC2.

It was reported that really good performance was seen with Omni kernel. On that note, I installed Omni kernel that was optimized by _that. Is that the Omni we should expect the best performance? Any reason for two Omni kernel alternatives in the installer?

Thanks in advance,

Ron

I forgot to mention that my wireless performance seems better, and my battery life is not any different - charges the same, and does not discharge more quickly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapiora:
I suggest battery calibration if anyone experiencing battery drain.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ouioui:
I confirm no batt draining and its smooth. Didn't you miss smtg when you flashed it ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
I doubt if those scores mean much. I used both Quadrant and AnTuTu, and CROMBi-KK consistently gives lower score than OmniROM, ZOMBi-POP, and KatKiss ROMs. However, I think CROMBi-KK is the smoothest among them. Another way to tell is how soon the audio stops after pressing the lock button on the dock keyboard when watching YouTube. For CROMBi-KK, mostly it's instant, while there is more or less delay for the other ones. However, WIFI connection of CROMBi-KK sometimes are not so stable.

External micro sd filesystem

When trying to copy some files from my external micro sdcard to the internal drive, ES File Explorer threw a copy failed error. I looked at the filesystem on the card and noticed that it's Vfat. Maybe the card is damaged but I was just wondering what filesystem I should format the external micro sdcard for use with this ROM? ExFAT or FAT32 or...? And should I use TWRP to format it?

I installed RC2 internally (no Rom2sd, Data2sd). I forgot to mention that I just wanted to use the card for storing files (backups, music, photos etc...)

Thank you in advance
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Try Fat32. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] langbat:
Should I use TWRP for that? Cheers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes, using TWRP is a great idea :)

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] langbat:
I just noticed TWRP doesn't have FAT32, just FAT. I am using the Kang version. I'll try using windows. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
The fat in my kang version is fat32 :)

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I use Gparted or Win7 to format FAT, FAT32, and exFAT on my uSD....:) Both methods work for me on my device....:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Frobbit:
I personally used the Kang TWRP to format my sdcard. If you go to the "change file format" in the wipe section; there are a lot of file format options. I formated to exFAT to allow file greater than 2 gb to be recognized and I have no problem with it either with the omni kernel or _That kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mgrankin:
Hope this is not oof topic...but my tf 700 will not boot. the battery died and after charging upon trying to boot it vibrates twice an the screen remains black. Can anyone please help?? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Do you see the device unlocked message? If not your backlight may be out. Shine a flashlight on the screen. See anything? Or connect the tablet to your TV via HDMI
[Asus Transformer TF700] mgrankin:
No message the screen is black.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Blairware:
Do I want this?

My question is a two parter. First I am running

omni-4.4.4-20141010-zombi_tf700t-KANG_signed

from just about a year ago. Can I flash this? The OP says I need ASUS 4.2 build, and this is later, but I am not sure what bootloader its based on and the thread is no longer around. I would have to definitely update TWRP since I am on 2.6

Part 2 is what can I expect in terms of performance? I switched to Sbdags ROMs early on when it became clear that ASUS was never going to resolve the hardware weaknesses of this tablet, but I don't want to flash just "because it's there" either. Other than 5.x features should i expect any performance or other gains?

Cheers to THE TF700 Developer, Sbdags for nonstop support all these years without who's help , this tablet would have a nice coating of dust on it! Attached screenshot of Kernel and build info

Edit: I figure I am okay - Found the old Zombi-X Thread and it directs here, and I would have needed the ASUS STOCK JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.14.10 for that ROM so all I need is update to TWRP (Just did it) so I should be all set. Here goes nothing (Okay, that didn't sound very complimentary lol!) But I trust this DEV like no one else with my aging, but still nice TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
now you got me nostalgic for the 2-panel Settings :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Check your bootloader version by booting to the bootloader with volume down and power held.

You'll want to update to a later version of TWRP - see links for flashable versions.

Format /data to F2Fs in the new TWRP and then flash the rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rjspring:
Just upgraded to RC2, speed has been fantastic (rebooted after the initial setup, reboot took less than 1 minute from POST to loading the OS). Haven't seen the battery drain issue, but I don't have very many apps installed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pomination:
Hi all

I've migrated from RC1 to RC2 beacause of battery drain issue.

Everything working fine, but did not see any improvements in perfromance nor stabillity

Battery drain seems sto be the same :(

No way to get back dock battery status ? this is really missing
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Find out what is causing your battery drain first. Google some apps that can help you. Switch to the omni kernel as a test too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pomination:
According to battery stats, this is due to display.

But this is quite non sense as my display is set below half light and I don't get this behavior with old stock rom.

More over Tablet is quite hot in the back while I did not set OverClocking
[Asus Transformer TF700] RBraverman:
From 5.1 to 5.1.1 What to Wipe

That says it all what is the cleanest. I've a battery problem and before I replace it, I'd like to see if this rev takes care of my other problems.

I guess nothing needs to be done. I would have deleted this but can't.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Remember that half way brightness on non stock roms = full brightness of the stock as they had an additional mode for out side.

Try around a quarter which will be the equivalent of half on stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rkha:
RC2 works great, thanks [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]! I have noticed, however, that over time it gets more and more laggy. Wiping cache+dalvik(ART?) makes it snappy again. I wanted to try F2FS on cache, but was not able to boot (left on boot animation for a long time). I assume its not supported in the kernel, but is there a way to fix that or another of the kernels coming with the ROM that supports it? I've read that F2FS on cache doesn't really benefit performance, but I'd like to see if it affects the gradual slowing down over time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
F2FS is supported fine but only convert /data to F2FS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
I replaced the line for /cache in 'fstab.cardhu' with this

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache f2fs noatime,nosuid,nodev,errors=panic wait,encryptable=footer

and the tablet boots and runs fine with F2FS /cache and that kernel.

Is F2FS /cache good or bad for performance?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It will make no difference as the rom doesn't use the /cache partition. Only recovery uses it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
After all of this time, it's finally time to retire the tf700. I wanted to drop by and thank sbdags and everyone else that threw in on these great roms. You've made the tablet much more than it would have been otherwise. While the 700 might be going away, I actually replaced it with a t100, which I'm loving thus far.

Anyhow, didn't mean to hijack the thread, but this seemed like the proper place to thank all of the people who's work has made my experience with the tf700 a great one.

Cheers!

tvig
[Asus Transformer TF700] rkha:
Thanks for the clarification, then there is no sense in doing that.

So I assume the gradual slowdown is due to ART, as wiping this speeds up the device (and wiping /cache should not have any effect). Has anyone overcome this problem, for example by using TRIM/LagFix ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The TF700 has always suffered from this slow down and I have seen it on other devices as well.

Using trim/lag fix definitely helps.

Not installing and uninstalling loads of apps also helps.

A general reboot often helps too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NonoWeber:
Any particular app you'd care to mention?

p.s. BTW, thanks for the ROM. My old slab is better than new.

FS Trim is good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer
[Asus Transformer TF700] jeebspawnshop:
Ok, already made a long post, but stupid browser crashed and I lost everything. So here's the point form version;

1 - FS Trim is good

2 - It won't TRIM F2FS on Zombi

3 - Used to have the same issue on my LG G2, until dev updated F2FS driver, then TRIM worked on F2FS

4 - Thought F2FS didn't require TRIM'ing, but it even shows performance improvements on my G2

5 - Might be something to consider for [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] if he has a bunch of spare time

6 - I'm probably totally wrong about it all! :D

Don't crash again, damn browser!

selinux?

Hi all,

I seem to have a curious problem with the latest zombi:

I installed RC2 after full reformat & switch to f2fs, then copied a lot of data back from external sdcard. Now I find that on a whole lot of those folders, I can't write - even as root! It only works in recovery. The regular permissions looked fine so I wanted to look into the selinux properties. Only to find out that my install of RC2 doesn't have selinux enabled at all! sestatus gives me:

sestatus: libselinux returns unknown state: No such file or directory

I (dirty) installed all of the available kernels one by one but get the same result for all of them. So my questions are:

1. is it normal that RC2 doesn't enable selinux?

2. if yes, any idea how I can get write access to my (probably selinux-protected) files without selinux?

thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] hulkelfe:
First I want to thank you for all the effort you put into this, I have been following the threads around TF700T for a long time and just flashed the current Zombi-Pop on my system. I initially unlocked and did the first flash in August 2015 and was running thatt version until now, but the lags were getting worse again and the launcher stopped working too often so I thought I'll give it a try with this updated Zombi-Pop.

Only, my device doesn't seem to start again after the flashing. It's been over 50 minutes now since it tried to reboot the adroid system and I am still stuck on the android launch screen.

Any ideas?

I am on the correct bootloader, updated TWRP just before the flashing, did the backup and stuff and the install went smooth. I chose the sdbag-settings during the install.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi

I finally can't stand it any longer to use this slow ASUS firmware... But before I flash this firmware here i have some questions.

I am using the keyboard dock and HDMI port for my TV with USB drive connected.

- Is HDMI working?

- Is the keyboard dock correctly working and charging the Tablet?

- Does it still recognize USB drives connected to the dock?

I just want to get sure before flashing because these are some features i really like and use on this tablet. I don't want to miss them ;)

Thanks!

Just bought tf700t with zombie pop already running. Tried to change wallpaper and now only black background shows. Can't seem to get any wallpaper or the zombie pop wallpaper to come up. Help..
[Asus Transformer TF700] alanb1976:
Firstly, THANK YOU!! This is the only ROM I have come across that makes this tablet greatfor me. All others I tried go from a slug to a sloth, but never how fast it should be.

Now, I have a very weird problem and I wanted to see if it had anything to do with the ROM (or more likely a noob mistake when flashing).

The touch screen of my TF700T will work fine for a few minutes and then it will act in 2 ways. The first being as if I am touching another part of the screen (sometimes consistently, other times with seconds between the supposed touch). It is always the same spot. If I use the development tool to map touches, I can see a point where the tablet registers a touch (without me anywhere near). The second way is that in line with where that touch appears, there will be a vertical line (about an inch – 2.5cm) where it won’t register any of my touches. So, any virtual keyboard keys within that inch line will not register. If I draw a line across the screen, it will look like I took the eraser and swiped a line down.

Now, I would generally say that this is a hardware issue but the fact that the tablet works perfectly for a few minutes before makes me wonder. And if I reboot, all good for a while again (sometimes also good if I sleep it and wake it up again). But the really weird coincidence that made me post here is that this perfectly coincided with me installing the new ROM (from RC1 to RC2) but this also happens when in recovery mode (TWRP) so I would say it shouldn’t be the ROM. Can a ROM write stuff that will influence recovery? Just such a weird coincidence.

I’m so upset. I’ve been battling with this tablet for years. Hate how slow it is. Now, I’ve found the first ROM that actually makes it useable and it breaks :(

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

[Asus Transformer TF700] pacman420:
Would echo the praise for this ROM, it's the only way I can use this tablet anymore. That said, I'm having this same problem. I'm pretty sure its related to the _that11 kernel. I was able to reproduce it in ROM2SD in both RC1 and RC2. I've seen some posts saying that if you wait for several hours it will come back online, but, so far I've waited about 24 hours and the problem still exists.

Pretty sure its something related to the route table, I can't ping gateway on the network, but I do get assigned an IP from DHCP. Anyone else seen this, have a fix?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Abs_scorp:
Hi. I was on rc1 so far. I have tried installing rc2 after doing a full wipe, using twrp 2.8 , and then formatting the /data and cache to f2fs. Thereon selecting the _that kernel through aroma.

However this is the third attempt that this is stuck on the boot animation for more than 45 minutes !

Is there anything I may have missed out ? Do I need to install a f2fs kernel separately? My previous installation was ext4.

Will appreciate kind assistance here please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ouioui:
I may say smtg wrong but I think that F2FS is for data only, not for cache
