[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
So last night, I suddenly got reboots, got on here and saw that more people were having issues. There were times it would reboot upon launching an app, and a few times where I didn't even get a chance to try and hit the power button to reboot.

Anyway, I tried a few things before re-flashing the ROM, just to see if I could find a workaround. First, I rebooted into TWRP to wipe the Cache and Dalvik, no dice. Next, I used the 'Fix Filesystem' option in TWRP to fix the Cache and System filesystems(Can't do it for Dalvik). That worked. I have not had an issue now for at least 2-3 hours of use. DOn't know 100% that I didn't just get lucky, but this may be a fix for more people with this issue.

Since this ROM is a Beta, I figure my experience with the ROM so far can't hurt.

To begin with, this thing is gorgeous, the UI and usability is awesome. I'm assuming that a lot of this is the new move in Lollipop, it's a nice improvement.

It's a bit laggy, had some crashes the first day trying to get apps downloaded and restored. If I got impatient and clicked a few times, the whole tablet would reboot. Since it finished downloading and updating all of my apps, it's pretty stable in that regard. Seems a little leery about multi-tasking.

Had issues getting wallpapers to set on the desktop(Running Smart Launcher Pro 2). Finally got it to work, running the cool Zombi-pop wallpaper now. In no way a major issue, just adding to the list.

A really great thing may be a Google improvement, but if it's a sbdags thing, then that should equal free hookers and coke for life. :) Google's 'Restore to this device' is actually functional. As soon as my account was verified on the initial install, it popped up with a menu to choose the device to restore, in case I wanted to restore my OG Droid Incredible apps for some reason, I guess. Next, there was a menu to choose WHICH backup I wanted, there happened to be one from that day, by some weird stroke of luck. Last, after I chose the device and backup, there was a list with all of the apps checked, and the ability to deselect ones I didn't want to reinstall. With the exception of it taking a day or so to re-install all of my apps, this worked perfectly. I hope everyone else has the same good experience.

All in all, this ROM has been a great experience. It definitely needs some tweaks and polishing, and I may have to revert for awhile, since I use it for work, but I really think it's going to work. I think this is a great start, and I really appreciate all of the work that goes into this ROM. I know I'm not getting the full experience by not installing with the tweaks, but I'll wait until everything stabilizes.

Thanks again!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jet70355:
I have a question, how is this ROM's experience smooth wise? For me it is really choppy mainly while using any launcher. I know that I'm using the latest bootloader, and I'm running ROM2SD. Thanks in advance for any answer :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Too little info to answer... for instance, did you install it with or without the tweaks? Did you install the default Omni kernel or another kernel? What launcher(s) are installed? Did you remember to root it and tweak the performance settings and so forth? Did you install f2fs /data?

My experience is that it is quite smooth, esp. considering it is only in early beta. It does *not* work for me (and apparently most others) unless you uncheck (do not install) the tweaks, and also uncheck (which enables) fsync.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jet70355:
Sorry for the lake of info, installed without tweaks, just a custom resolution and dpi, data journeling disabled, no f2fs data, default kernel and ROM2SD. I installed omni launcher, apex and nova from playstore, and it stutters with all three of them. Hope that is enough info, and thanks for the answer :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I would say that is correct, but there are never any guarantees .....

But why not just use fastboot ?

Thx Josh

I used TWRP Manager to flash the latest 2.8.4.0

GooManager hasn't been useful for this in awhile. never tried Flashify to auto-download recovery images.
[Asus Transformer TF700] evimarn:
Twrp instal

I use TWRP manager, one can choose model of device and twrp version if an error is encountered on installation just reboot to recovery and the rest is a done at least thats how mine goes .Use caution when it prompts for destination partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mlinfoot:
Sorry for the confusion. I bricked a previous tf201, bought a used tf700 and have CROMBi-KK installed. When I bought it the bootloader had already been updated to JB, so no opportunity to nvflash. Proceeding with caution + nandroid backups + reading instructions VERY CAREFULLY.

I prefer CWM, but can certainly install/use TWRP. I understand this is a BETA release and I'm eager to help test and maybe give some useful info back to the devs. And to be clear, this would all be done on a tf700t.

PS. If there is no ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.5, maybe it shouldn't be suggested/recommended in the OP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
You didn't mention fsync specifically... the two tweaks you apparently disabled (good) were at the bottom of that last page on Aroma Installer's installation list. But fsync, disabled by default, will almost certainly destabilize the entire installation, so be sure you also unchecked it (about in the middle of the last page's list). I have no other suggestions... hope you get it sorted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
The OP refers to 6.5.0.0+ and I dont even run CWM and I found it :confused::confused:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Not at all arguing this point, but just wondering.... since the fastboot options also (if I recall right?) require command line input, couldn't one trash things from there as well? Or is there some sort of safeguard (I've used fastboot about twice in my in toto experience)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Thanks but it fails when trying to flash. Might be something wrong with my tab. I was hoping to avoid using the PC but looks like that is the only way I can do it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes fail safe if you want to call it that.... :D

So for example .....

fastboot flash recovery recovery.blob

If even one of these letters is wrong fastboot will not flash the recovery thus your fail safe.... :good:

thank you, thank you thank you and THANK YOU!!!!

Let me thanks all the dev team for the great job done in the release. As many others, I was at 2 steps to drop this tab and was already lookiing to Sony Z2 tab.

Fortunately, this release land on the forum and I have to admit it is the first time I appreciate this tab since I own it.

I did another donation and I invite everybody enjoying the ROM to do it, those guy spend many hours/days/weeks to provide us this great ROM. Associated with "Boat browser", surfing the web is a pleaseure.

Thanks again
[Asus Transformer TF700] oldtimercurt:
Thanks

Thanks to all the folks involved in reaching this point. I've nvever seen this tablet run so smooth or fast since it was new. You gentlemen are truly wizards.

I've noticed that sometimes I''ll see the battery actually increase even though charger not connected. I guess this means that the dock is charging the tab so everything is being charged when plugged in.

Love how this baby is running!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Having more and more trouble with the DPI issues others are reporting, when starting from scratch I could install almost all Apps (except Google+ I know, quite odd that app of all possible ones)

After installing some more apps, a couple of reboots and bam, MS Office, VUDU and a host of other apps no longer compatible according to the play store. I looked into the Multi DPI fix that SLIM GAaps has but so far with no luck. My guess is that we can do some workaround with custom DPI settings and get somewhere, but to get the whole way there, Google will likely have to step up and find a permanent "fix" for their store issues, seeing the same issues on other devices such as my Oneplus One and MS Office for smartphones.
[Asus Transformer TF700] relaps:
We always had plenty of tf700 owners but thanks to you guys, we now have many happy tf700 users. Isn't it amazing how many of us believed in this product, having never actually seen it perform to the level we knew it should for YEARS!
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
I can echo that when the playstore attempted to restore to the device, it did not have my TF700 listed anywhere. I had my other devices but no entries for my tab prior to the /data format and install of beta 1. Now that beta 2 is out, back to a wipe and we'll star anew :D Oh and any time TiBu hangs while restoring, you don't have to reboot. Just do a force stop on TiBu and it works fine again. I too had TiBu think I didn't have root but once I relaunched TiBu again, it was fine. I had glanced away so I thought maybe I was distracted for the SuperSU prompt.
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt_simpson:
Absolutely love the rom, very smooth and snappy, but seems to be going through battery very quickly (10% in 18 minutes from basic web browsing). Any tips to help with this would be very much appreciated. i am on ext4.

thanks for all your work.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Switch to f2fs for a starter ;)

Keep the performance locked below 1.5GHz if you want to save battery and turn the brightness down. The default is very high.
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt_simpson:
thank you, does f2fs give better battery life?, i have never really used it. i will switch in the morning

matt
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It could do as it is more efficient. It will give you a smoother experience.

You can't have super snappy performance without some trade offs. The reason why the ram feels snappier is it is having to work harder. So the CPU freq is clocked higher, it polls the screen more frequently, it goes to max freq quicker, it idles higher, etc. All these things consume battery. The biggest battery users are screen and wifi. So turn the brightness down and make sure you aren't syncing like a mad man all the time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt_simpson:
thank you, i have been reading through the thread and a few people have suggested that battery consumption gets better with time, i imagine that is with the rom learning the battery capabillities? any way as i said excellent rom

thanks

Matt
[Asus Transformer TF700] relaps:
No, it's because there's a lot of foreground processing going on as the machine updates itself consuming lots of battery. It takes several reboots before it's back to its regular update schedule.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
sbdags josh and all... glad to see this rom just keep getting better. After my aborted attempt to get a TF701 fell through (it had a torqued keyboard and I hadda send it back to the ebay fellah who'd called it "perfect") my wife said "Here, honey, take back the TF700... I don't really need it" (whew!!). I admit I took her up on the offer. Heh. I installed b2 yesterday. Did further updates today and with no tweaks except turning off animation, got a 9000 from and a 24300 or some such from Antutu. Not shabby at all! I may turn down the 1800ghz to 1700g... just to save a little battery. But so far so very good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dlbarron:
Well, it took me 3 or 4 tries to get the install the way I want it but it's looking good now. Performance is still so-so but that should improve after a few reboots, from what I've read. My main concern at this point is an occasional crash of Launcher3 which really hurts while it starts back up. Yeah, I know, it's a beta. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Giants2010:
I'm doing my 3rd install now comparing the many options. What install options worked best for you?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dlbarron:
Normally I go with the defaults then I pick and choose the gapps to install.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wldtravel26:
I formatting the DATA and wiped everything and installed the Beta 2 ROM. When I selected the first option (forgot but think it said SDBAG's best) it installed but got stuck on the reboot animation. I waiting overnight and it was still going. This morning I wiped it again and choose the option with 2.13 I believe and it installed and went to the setup.

I did have an issue after I input my wifi password, it got stuck on the google login. After a couple of unsucessful attempts, I skipped the wifi password and it finally went to the OS. I was able to input the wifi afterwards and was able to get online. Hopefully after a couple of reboots it will settle down and I'll be good to go. I had alot of issues with it crashing on beta 1 with certain apps, so hopefully this fixes those issues.

amazing build - just can't get OneNote to work

This is the best yet, seems very stable and fast. The only problem I have is that OneNote (which I use all the time, and have been on all the previous builds) crashes on startup; I tried omni and _that, no help. Anyone else having this issue? (I did a full wipe before putting this update on.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
Anyone else suffering from sleep-of-death yet?

I use it as an alarm clock, and it wakes me up in the morning, but then when I get home from work it usually won't wake up and I have to hard-reset it.

How would one go about troubleshooting?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No, no sleep of deaths here, but they are notoriously hard to diagnose.

See if you can get a /proc/last_kmsg, sometimes when you push power the device is on but the screen isn't, see if you can get a logcat over adb.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I can confirm it crashes here too.

If you grab a log cat it seems to be related to a MSO HTTP KeyStore error - LIVE_ID_FRIENDLY_NAME not found.

I'm not sure what that means but have no idea how to fix.

Does it still work on beta 1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
Could it be.. ah.. related perhaps to dirty flashing B2 over B1?

(heh :o )
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
I have had several of them. Other than that it's running great. Sorry no logs, but I'm running a completely fresh f2fs internal install with the Grimlock kernel, standard gapps and all default tweaks. If it happens again I'll grab a log and post it.

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] drbly:
OneNote

I have the same issue with OneNote, and the same errors as sbdags in the log cat. I dirty flashed back to B1 and got the same results. I'll uninstall and reinstall OneNote again to see if that is any different. If that is the same, I'll try a clean install of B1. I don't have any previous experience with B1 since I was just coming from Zombi-X Omni Kang b9.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
Here's the last_kmsg - last modified (per the filesystem) last night about 10:30. That'd be about when I rebooted, I guess?

It's gibberish to me. What do you look for?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
The fact you rebooted makes the log useless ....

last_kmsg are for a ramdom reboot not a user generated reboot due to SOD .....

A logcat maybe more helpful in the case ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Haven't used One Note, and will avoid it for the time being. But that said, this tablet is running so well on zombi-pop 5.1.1 beta 2 that I decided to put the TF700's arch nemesis, Chrome Browser, back on. So far, so good. Maybe it will bog down. But man I am enjoying this right now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Completely OT but I'm curious enough to accept the punishment :cyclops:

Is anybody here running the official TWRP 2.8.6.0? If yes, please try to reboot from recovery and report if it works.

A couple of users on the Transformer forums (one TF700, one TF300) were unable to get out of recovery with 2.8.6.0. Only reboots into itself. A forced shut down gets you out of it.

I just flashed it and it does the same here. Kinda hard to believe nobody posted about it though... Recovery log is in the last post in Dees_Troy's thread if anyone is interested.

Another reason to KANG it!! :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt_simpson:
I was using it and yes I had those issues, which is why I changed to kang :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I work on TWRP and have a TF700, but I never use the official release. :)

I found the problem. The official build is using an old custom init.rc that is missing two lines that are now needed due to https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/12828/ - I'll prepare a fix.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jackaz:
Just picked up a TF700T for cheap today, got it all sorted and got this ROM running - but I am finding it INCREDIBLY slow to the point that it is basically unusable.

I wiped data/cache/delvik and formatted the system partition before installing the ROM. It's just running like poop. What did I do wrong? Mind you I've been fiddling with it for an hour and it's only slightly improved.
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt_simpson:
after reading a few of the comments on here it seems that it takes a while for the rom to stabilize after installing and a few reboots.
[Asus Transformer TF700] toolmanz:
+1 After a few reboots it is now working great! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] jackaz:
Thanks guys. I'll do a few reboots and let it do its thing for a bit and see how we go. I know it's not the highest spec'd machine ever but even the stock ROM it was running was near-smooth as silk. I only planned on using it for a Netflix chomecast remote but I might as well get all I can out of it. I'll report back :)

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

10 reboots later and after 5 minutes of being idle it took approximately 35 seconds for the settings window to display.

Something's not right. might try a KitKat ROM and see how it plays out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] daviessm:
Can you connect an adb shell to it and run top -m 5 to see what the top processes are? I would imagine mmcqd (the flash daemon) is at the top with a high iowait percentage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jackaz:
Yep I'll do that first thing in the morning because I'll have nothing to do at work :P

I just put on CM11 and got Netflix going. Bed time. :) hahah
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kraka:
You need to format data, then convert it to f2fs. It will take as long as 60 to 90 muinutes to format data. Do not interrupt it..
[Asus Transformer TF700] finotti:
Make sure you have the latest bootloader.

RE: Onenote App

I'm still on B1 (always wait a while before updating). Installed it. It recognized my MS account, but crashed upon starting (program, not OS)
[Asus Transformer TF700] NapalmDawn:
Yeah that was happening to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
So sounds like some compatibility - maybe it isn't ready for 5.1.1 yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
On a related note I got my hands on a TF700 dock! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
MS Apps are generally very poor for compatibility in 5.x, seeing constant playstore issues and crashes across devices.

Can confirm the OneNote issues with B1 and B2 after clean installs btw.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drbly:
I agree. I tried numerous options in both B1 and B2, and OneNote crashed every time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I see lots of whining about OneNote crashing, but not a single log...
[Asus Transformer TF700] corb06:
Just installed the latest beta and I got a drop in performance in Antuntuu. Before beta2 i got 23500, now I get 22500.

I am not permitted to post the url either.

The bits and pieces of the url are: pastebin.com/KFvmEaRz
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I can see the crash in the log, however there isn't much about the reason of the crash in the backtrace. The stack overflow warnings directly before the crash are suspicious, but I don't see any way how we could fix that. Thanks anyway for the log.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I get 24,500 - what options and kernel did you install with.

More info please. And how does it feel?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drbly:
Although my level of expertise is pretty thin, is there anything I might run or test that could help increase the knowledge of those with greater expertise? I'm willing to help if there is something I can do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:

And then reflash the rom with the f2fs option.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sac02:
So here's a noob question from someone who just flashed their first custom ROM a couple weeks ago (Zombi-POP 5.1.1 Beta1).

How do I overclock? I see the screen with the slider for max CPU speed, and I set it to 1800, but CPU speed doesn't actually operate above 1600. I have the "apply at boot" option checked on that screen, if that is relevant.

I don't have the device here at the moment, so I can't look at it to tell you exactly what the build/kernel is. But I installed the ROM using the "recommended default" option during the install process, if that gives you enough info to work with.

From my noob-level understanding, it is the kernel that dictates if overclocking is possible, is that correct? Does this mean I need to try a different kernel, or is there some other aspect of the process that I'm missing?

And thanks for all the development work, this is my first foray into custom ROMs and I'm really impressed both with the product and how helpful the community has been.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It depends which kernel you chose. Only Grimlock and _that really OC, but I can see they default to 2 cores very quickly (probably due to heat). The omni kernel only goes to 1.7GHz I think again possibly on 2 cores. So in my experience the sweet spot for heat, battery and speed is 1.6GHz which will run all four.

If you do need a quick burst and just don't care reinstall, choose _that's and 1.8GHz with OC enabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sac02:
OK, understood. Maybe this is an even dumber question, but how can I confirm if 2 or 4 cores are being used? In the Performance screen, Core1 and Core2 are shown at (whatever) speed, and Core3 and Core4 are labeled "Not Installed". Am I missing half my CPU, lol?
[Asus Transformer TF700] corb06:
It feels ok.

I installed it with cache and dalvik wipe, SdBags recommended settings, the preselected kernel, 1800 mhz, OC enabled.
