Play Store Apps Wont Download

Did a clean install of beta 2 everything went well, except my apps dont seem to be wanting to redownload from the play store...i am connect to wifi and receiving gmail. I've done several full wipes and clean installs and the same thing keeps happening...it shows all the apps with the download progress....but none of them actually end up downloading. Any fix? Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rjspring:
My apps took a loooooooooooooong time to start downloading on their own post play services setup (I also had an update to google services itself that needed to be run prior to apps redownloading). I was thinking this was part of the post setup and walk away while the system optimizes process...
[Asus Transformer TF700] ultimatdan:
Ya, I've been letting it sit for about 24 hours now... still looking like they are going to start downloading...but nothing....
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
it stalls like this for me sometimes.

what i do is

go into the App that is "Downloading"

clikc the little 'X' next to the download meter

wait a few seconds

typically the next app in queue starts downloading AOK.

after that i re-select install/update to put it back into the install queue

wait for future apps to stall and repeat process

a bit of a pain cause i need to baby-sit the process. should try and capture a logcat next time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
Good question. I tend to usually set it to 1500/1600, but I don't remember whether I did it that time for sure or not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yes it can. Never restore system data from Tibu!
[Asus Transformer TF700] eRPeeX:
Did you make a clean install?

On beta 1 I've had the same ... No apps installing. I formatted internal sd (attention it takes about 90 minutes, don't interrupt!!!).

Installed beta 1 without titanium backup, because it was in system. And up all was working fine.

Beta 2 dirty flashed over beta 1. Everything is working fine.

So perhaps a super clean install (formatting included) will help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmmohr4:
So no app data is carried in the system data? Like my grandkids' scores, ect.? That stays with just the apps backup?

Thanks Bernd,

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
So, a bit of experimenting with what for me at least has been the best -- hands down -- install on this tablet. Period. Installed overclocked _that kernel rather than the default. Left it at 1800 max. Gets very warm during installs... but no failures or even hiccups. I did do clean installs.

Internal is a bit faster than external (I use a Samsung 128g microsd card). Internal Antutu is around 22000 to 23000. External Antutu anywhere from 19000 to 21000. Not bad. And in real time, hard to explain, but this actually feels snappier, even with my 120 some apps loaded on.

As far as fsync being on or off when installing to external (rom2sd, that is).... seems to make no difference at all. [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION], you did tell me that, but I just had to see. Heh.

My bottom line advice to others with this is if you are having troubles, check (a) if you've formatted /data to f2fs for sure. If not, do it. If you think you did, check; (b) don't do dirty installs cuz it is an early beta.

And oh.... if you haven't left sbdags a tip... ponder doing so. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
One quick add-on.... I note that when I turn off auto-rotation (found under settings > display) I get better test scores in Antutu. I use my tab almost always as a laptop w/ keyboard dock attached, so don't need it on. Others' mileage may vary.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
You don't get reboots with keyboard? I was using the dock during couple nights mainly with juicessh. I had to switch to laptop, as I got rebooted often. If there was last kernel log, it was a ziv by zero error. But I didn't check it every time.

Are you others doing just fine with your keyboard docks?

There was nothing connected to USB hub in dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
It's pretty funny, I noticed a tad of screen lag when using the tablet in vertical mode on the home screen (less so in apps made for that mode) wasn't sure if it was a redrawing issue draining some performance out of it or if it is an actual thing with the launcher having to emulate the display in some way
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hawaiisa:
I haven't noticed any issues with the dock in the latest beta. Scandinavian layout, if that's relevant
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
I'm fine so long as the tablet's awake when I try to undock it. If it's dark, then it doesn't wake up.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Okay, I reflashed B2 with 1600 max. I'll keep tabs on it. THanks for the reassurance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
Of course, the Scandinavian layout is the most relevant. I don't care about the rest :D

OK then. The problem is then in between my sofa and my tablet. I'll keep trying if apps make difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jp071848:
I do have an interesting, and long-term, issue with the dock, and I'd appreciate thoughts and comments. I'm currently running B2, internal, F2FS. The dock works fine for me, though I admit I don't use EVERY feature and key on it. No reboots, or any of the other problems reported. I always maintain a MicroSD card in the tab and an SD card in the dock at all times.

With the dock attached (and all functioning well), I fire up ES File Explorer. I can see sdcard1, the MicroSD card, and it's fully accessible. The dock SD card, however, mounts as USB1003, not sdcard2. When I touch/click on USB1003, a message pops up saying "Allow the app ES File Explorer to access this USB device?" When I hit yes, it opens the card and the contents are accessible. If I physically eject the SD card and re-insert it, ES File Explorer changes from showing USB1003, to sdcard2. IOW, accessing the SD card has this extra step involving USB1003 in it.

Out of fairness to this fantastic ROM, I have had this same issue through a succession of different ROMS, and I think early versions of CM10 were possibly the last time the dock SD card mounted automatically as sdcard2. I know it's a small issue, but I would love to know why it happens and if there's a fix. It must be an issue with my specific setup.

Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF700] J73:
Can I dirty flash this? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
on top of what?

i'd recommend a clean flash if anything, but Beta 1 / 5.1 base

you can try dirty and then reflash clean if issues arise.
[Asus Transformer TF700] J73:
Coming from beta 1, I can try dirty flash? Okay thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] hanswurst1979:
I flashed this one from b1 dirty too. It worked fine for me.

I habe some issues when rebooting the tablet.

It is unusable since the system is not responding.

I need to wipe the cache every time to get it working again.

Any suggestion on this issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Do a clean install..... :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] gvsukids:
Clean install for me didn't work. Setup wizard kept crashing. Even coast clearing internal and formatting didn't help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Define 'Keeps crashing' :good:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] gvsukids:
Rebooting
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Well good luck with your issues ....

You keep giving hints and see how much help you get ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] gvsukids:
It said, setup wizard has crashed, and would go back to the Wi-Fi choice. Never getting past the insert name.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
So the tablet does not reboot ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] John Kotches:
I'm getting incredibly poor performance with lots of spontaneous reboots on a dirty flash over Beta 1 with ROM2SD. I guess I'll clean flash it and see how that goes.

This is life in beta-land. Expect things to be a bit wonky, especially true in early betas.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hawaiisa:
Are you connected to a wifi when you go through the setup wizard? See the following quoted post :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] glecko:
Ensure that you have logged into the Wi-Fi.

I encountered this while trying to setup the tablet without connecting to Wi-Fi first.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
LOGS!!!!!!

;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I dont know what logs are ...... :confused:

You would like to start a fire ...... :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] yaqb:
Coming from crombi kk f2fs. Of course full wipe, but my question is would I get more improvement if I format ?? If yes which partitions should I format???
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You always get an improvement from formatting data [emoji2]

Coming from KK formatting system would also be a good idea.

So yes, format system and data, wipe cache and dalvik - profit
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Work has began with lollipop zenui apps. More than just Asus to come. Maybe m9's Dolby, some Sony stuff, and a little HTC thown into the mix.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tek_No:
Is there a way to change or convert an existing ext4 data partition into f2fs without losing any data?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It is already automated for you.

Which kernel are you choosing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nope.

Well you could try nandroid backup, convert and then restore. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
In addition to Nandroid, you will also need to backup /data/media which has your user files like photos & music.

That's not included in Nandroid.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I did this on an earlier version when TWRP 2.8.5.0 couldn't format f2fs. I continued with the install with an ext4 partition, did a nandroid, and then rolled back to 2.8.4.0 so I could format to f2fs without having to dig up a PC. Then I restored the ext4 nandroid on the new f2fs partition. TWRP warned me that the backup was ext4. It let me continue. I didn't notice any issues.

My media is backed up in the GoogleVerse. I blow away my TF700 with impunity. Now that 5.* lets you add gmail logins using two-factor authentication, the hardest part is letting the apps reinstall. I prefer to install the apps rather than restore them. I don't trust that libraries and what nots won't get mangled.

//cheers
[Asus Transformer TF700] grayfoxmg1:
I flashed B2 the other night and after two days on it I have to say, I've fallen in love with my tablet again. It's fast, smooth, has great battery life, and it only rebooted once because of OoM; and I'm calling that my fault as I was living dangerously by using my tablet while it was restoring apps and data from the google backup. Just for telemetry I'll tell you that I am on the Omni_that11 kernel running at 1400mhz with an interactive governor. I also changed my I/O to noop and my launcher to Nova Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
This doesn't happen to be fixed in B2 is it? Didn't know if it's an app issue or a ROM issue...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
Does the data partition remain f2fs after restoring the ext4 nandroid?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
yes, it stays F2FS.

on the SD Card Nandroid it's probably FAT32 so just moving files between two differently formated drives.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sapiora:
When I leave the tablet for one night and I can't switch it back on. In order to turn it on I have to press the power key untill it reboots. This started to happen with Lollipop, before that everything was normal. After every instalation of new Lollipop release I format the device from TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gtsbrian:
Boot problem

Took the dive last night. Was on Tech Fusion 4+.

With the wonderful instructions found here, I unmounted my data, formatted it as F2FS (waited until it said completed), wiped the cache/dalvik/system. Then I installed B2 and was given the best tablet EVER. Reinstalled my apps from the store without a glitch. Tested all and wad s proud papa. Super happy. Best ROM ever!

However, I rebooted the tablet this morning, and now after the boot animation, just a small version of the unlock background shows up in the upper left corner. It is not touch responsive.

Tried dirty flashing again, and no change. Any suggestions? Love this ROM!
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
That is rather odd. This was one of the notable items for me in the B2 release. I was unable to use the mail app until B2, but it works fine now. I attributed that to whatever google did between 5.0 and 5.1.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
Awesome! Looks like I'll be doing a clean install...
[Asus Transformer TF700] gtsbrian:
update

Figured out the problem. I had the tablet in the keyboard dock. Once I removed it and rebooted it, it let me log in.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
Anyone have a good link for openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-tf700t.blob ? Figured I'd install that before the new flash..

http://dl.twrp.me/tf700t doesn't appear to be working...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes they are having issue, just use my KANG version ..... :good:

Thx Josh

Good call - Love the zip too, not that dd isn't fun :)

lag on waking

Hi all, when I hit the power button to wake the tablet, it is really laggy for awhile. This time it was really laggy until I turned off the bluetooth speaker I had been using. I grabbed a catlog.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
It looks like you are missing the device needed for bluetooth sleep. Looking at the kernel bluetooth driver, it seems that kernel option CONFIG_BT_BLUESLEEP controls whether it's built in or not. And looking at the kernel config in _that kernel in zombi, it's not built in.

Where as I just switched to omni build today, and in that kernel the device exists, and the config has it set: CONFIG_BT_BLUESLEEP=y.

The stuff is in here: kernel/drivers/bluetooth/bluesleep.c

Perhaps you could try a kernel that has the option enabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] f_padia:
Just some feedback from my use of the ROM. Generally it's a good rom. It ran really smooth on a clean install, this was both internal and daya2sd (f2fs). But in both cases after a few days the tablet has become quite laggy and slow. It could be to do with some apps I use but to be honest I don't have many on the tablet.

Installed on internal now and definitely had mor the random reboots and lock ups than on data2sd but overall it's manageable.

Is anyone else experiencing lagging after few days of use?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
One more time:

If you are reporting problems like this, your post is entirely useless unless you provide at least these infos:

what you flashed from, how you flashed: dirty/clean/format: What?

Options chosen, kernel chosen.....

The more details the better.

AND PROVIDE A LOGACT WHILE YOU ARE USING THE TAB AND IT EXHIBITS WHATEVER IS BUGGING YOU!

Thanks ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] spizzlo:
Just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for all the hard work developing for this crazy device. I used to have a TF300 and I thought the 700 would be an upgrade! The lag issues etc. are ridiculous, and without Crombi/Zombi etc. I would have probably lost it by now. Again HUGE thanks, and it's all cherries at this point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] R_McNeely:
if you had told me TF700 would see a working 5.1 ROM before my LG G3 I would never have believed you....

Thanks for keeping our tablets alive!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
It definately starts lagging over time. I have no glue what makes it do so. It's been discussed here many times. Those who maintain it likely don't have the issue due wiping it so often. Something likely collects cruft on storage, and tries to go through app caches or something. Anothwr thing is that after WLAN gets connected, it is unusable for a moment. All apps go grazy trying to Sync over internet at once, and probably again go to storage, which is slow.

I have lately shifted away from apps, and try using services with browser instead. And switched using the stock browser instead of chrome. It helps quite much.

But I have no reboots, luckily. On the other hand, I'm running already omni build from couple days ago :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] msuguy71:
uploading logcats and logcats after crash

Hi all, anyone have an idea why the stock android browser doesn't do anything when click on the file browser button in the attachments upload? Is it a settings issue? It is a pain to upload logcats when I have to move the file around multiple times to upload it.

An another note, now that I am finally able to get logcats, can I use catlog to pull crash data after a huge lockup that requires a hard reboot? I will occasionally get a lockup where the screen is blank except for thin black vertical lines on the left of the screen. Have not figured how to pull that type of crash report to send it in. Is it even possible since I have to hard reboot?

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 AM ----------

_that: is that something you could enable in your kernel? I like using yours.

Boot up speed

I am currently running Crombi-KK and it takes 5-6 minutes to boot up. How long does this lollipop ROM take to boot up? As I guess this rom is my upgrade path:)

I have always managed increasing lag over over time using fstrim command to trim the flash memory with ext4 partitions on internal. This improves lag considerably for me (for a while).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
Go for it! Do a clean install and format data. Mine is on B2 f2fs internal. Boot up takes about 1 min. 45 secs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
if you can connect via ADB, you may be able to grab a log before rebooting.

after a reboot, you can try posting /proc/last_kmsg which might have useful info about what happened.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jeromeh:
Still getting reboots on both tablets. The one tthe log is from was a clean install of Beta2 from Beta1 and the second one that I don't have a log for was Dirty flashed from Beta1. It still has problems when I move between wireless networks and usually won't connect until a reboot. It also has a hard time waking from a hard sleep. Have to long press the power button till it reboots.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Maybe the whole log ?

And post a logcat when it will not wake up ....

I need some help.

Started out with a stock TF700, I had unlocked it ages ago so I could install proper recovery and root/SU so I could use it. After a year the dam thing got so slow that I decided to put a better ROM on it, did some research and grabbed ZOMBi-POP-B10_omni_tf700t-KANG and everything was good and then it went very bad. Had Asus stock JB 4.2.1 bootloader version 10.6.1.14.10 and TWRP 2.5, updated it to 2.8 and everything was fine, did a nandroid backup just in case and then flashed the ZOMBi-POP-B10 as per instructions. It went smoothly and the device worked very well for the next week, when turning it on at Uni one day, it booted up fine but only displayed the notification bar up the top and the small triangle down the bottom. It would not DO anything, rebooted twice and still the same thing, rebooted into recovery and cleared caches and still the same thing. Tried everything I could think of at the time and nothing.

Got home and figured something big got screwed and just to-do a reflash, did a full wipe in recovery and noticed a new version (ZOMBi-POP-5.1_B1_omni_tf700t-KANG) grabbed it and flashed. It went smoothly until the reboot when in the setup wizard, when it asks for my name and i click next it give me a pop up "Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and then it starts the wizard from the beginning and loops repeatedly. Tried a few tricks but it would not work, came here to ask for help and noticed the B2 version, installed and yep..."Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" yet again.

Anyone have any clue how to bypass the setup wizard entirely?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Nope if you want gapps you get the setup wizard ....

Google is going to continue to make it harder for all of us

Deal with it or dont use gapps ..... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kodell:
So are you saying that if i reflash the ROM, but not select ANY google apps to install that it will then work and let me use my tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No there is no option for that in the ROM...

Its not a bad idea, maybe I will run it by dags ....

Log into wifi lets me skip the rest of the setup no problem ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
My latest notes on using beta 2....

I am running with a post-factory-wipe install, external (rom2sd). /data formatted f2fs, and (contrary to good advice) disabled fsync and enabled the second option right beneath that one (sorry brain vapor lock! can't recall its name). Slight speed increase with these activated, like from 19000 something in Antutu to 21000 in Antutu. Not huge. Do think smoothness is increased some, but that's subjective. Does it make the tablet more unstable? I don't think so...

Here is my only negative w/ the tab... if I charge it all night, then unplug the charger before I open it, the tablet has a very hard time waking up. A few times it simply hasn't. But other than that, including wake-ups when running unplugged, or plugged (when left plugged during wake-up), everything seems fine. My wake-up issue seems to be there whether or not the fsync is disabled; I had enabled it initially but still had the same (occasional) issue.

Still a bit amazed this is only beta 2. Just might be the smoothest Android I've run on my tf700. Ever.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Not sure that should do it .....

Good Potential-

First, thanks for the continued development...

What I noticed:

*Tablet got very warm during flash

*After cooling down, it got pretty warm very quickly with little use

*There is noticeable lag and poor response time such as when tapping on an icon to open an app
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
Could you please give the specific installation options you chose (including resolution, kernel, IO scheduler, experimetal tweaks checked, etc.)? It would help me a great deal!

I have Data2sd with ext/data F2FS format and yet the tablet seems to run smoothly sometimes and very stuttery at other times.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kevinthefixer:
Yes, please do include a "no-GAPPs" option, or put GAPPs in a separate .zip. In my experience, ALL tablets seem to run better without GAPPs, so unless you absolutely need Play Store, you're better off without.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't understand why you want no gapps. You absolutely need the playstore and therefore you need some of the basic gapps.

There would be no setup without gapps either. Not sure we can completely remove it. Maybe an option to just have the basics to boot the device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Why?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
LOL.

Cos you can't get apps other wise. Well you can but you would be restricted to just your web browser and side loading stuff which would be a pita.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ikkeT:
Another thing is that some people might use different appsatores altogether. Like in my Jolla, the choice is left to user to get stuff from Amazon, Aptoide, Yandex of Google. I personally like to avoid re-installing stuff, so I prefer having also gapps on /data, so I can test small changes even more easily.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
NEW for the next version - you can now choose to install gapps to system, data, minimal install to both or no gapps what-so-ever ;)
