[Asus Transformer TF701] doom_71:
Took the beta 1 and 2 from androidfilehost (just need to know where to look :D). It also happend to me that the installation would sometimes hang or even reboot the recovery (TWRP). With beta 2 i needed three tries. For the rest: very good as always!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] ariadnejro:
I think that omni roms don't allow immersive mode like cm does. In CM 12.1 I hide the navigation bar to get some extra screen space and I control the tablet via LMT pie menus and gestures. Is there a way to do the same in omni?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes Aroma is a bit dodgy on the device - sometimes it hard locks and all you can do is try again - however this was here before we had touch. Not much I can do about it. The latest aroma builds don't even support our device so we are stuck for now.

As for CM12 stuff - nope it's omni but it soes have omni switch which will eventually allow full screen - but you never know what will be developed in the future. It is kept light for a reason - so it is fast and smooth. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] toolmanz:
The ROM is running very fast and all seems good except for 1 program I like.

I have a very robust infrastructure in the house and I use an app call SmartWIFIAnalyser.

It will automatically switch to the best WIFI signal as I move around the house.

When I start it - the tablet barfs and returns to the bootup screen (wavy lines) - once it returns from losing its mind, it will slowly get back to normal.

This isn't a deal killer - but it works on Zombie-Pop on my TF700 ??

I tried to grab a logcat and I have provided a link to it .... hope I did this right! :D

Seems to be a failure with the renderer. Can you reinstall the ROM but don't install the GPU tweaks on the tweaks page and try again for me please.

[Asus Transformer TF701] toolmanz:
Bingo! It now works but once I enable it and come back out to the home screen it is super small on large screen. There has been some other weirdness with the screen like the drawer shows really large icons (2 to a page ??? ). But nothing I can't handle - ESC out of the screen and go right back in and its working.

Cheers and thanks for another great ROM!
[Asus Transformer TF701] lj50036:
I need a screen-shot of that ..... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF701] toolmanz:
Can't seem to get it to do that again ..... Now when I come back to the home page its blank. Hit ESC a couple of times and it comes back normal. ???

Maybe same problem - with different symptoms ... ?

I will gab screen shots if it happens again.

Cheers

Ok. Went into the store and found there was an update to the launcher I use - KK Launcher Prime. I did the update and came back to the home screen - normal.

When I went into the drawer it did it again and have attached the screen shots. They are really faint but you can see 3 icons only. Esc back out and go back in and it's working ???

Thinking maybe its the launcher at fault :confused:

[Asus Transformer TF701] lj50036:
Well that is odd indeed ...

Can you set a diff wallpaper and see what that does .....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF701] toolmanz:
Well I am using 500 Firepaper now and it still does it. Go figure. It must be the launcher. ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Problem seemed to fix itself? However now some apps cause the tablet to reboot when they launch. Currently Solid Explorer classic and Wake On LAN (mafro). Are there any known issues with certain apps and this rom?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Wiping data may not be enough if you came from a KK rom. Apps write some data to /data/media which does not get touched during a simple wipe or factory reset (which is the same) and the apps installed under LP do not like it.

Restoring apps from a backup could make it worse.

I would backup just app data in TiBu, then fully format /data, reflash the rom and let everything install from the Play Store.

Then, if everything is good, you may try to restore your app data and see if it has any ill effects. Taking a nandroid just before doing so would be a good idea....
[Asus Transformer TF701] lj50036:
I did not say to wipe /data :)

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Hi, thanks for this, I thought the factory reset wiped everything. What's the best way to format /data? Is this done in Clockwork mod recovery? That's where I'd previously wiped/reset unless there is some other option I've not noticed....
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
my recipe :

* reboot with vol down

* choose rck by scrolling with the vol down (make sure it is the selected icon, as that is sometimes a bit hard to see)

* hit vol up to launch the recovery (twrp)

* Wipe > Advanced : wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system

* Wipe > Format Data : type "yes" and go have coffee

* install the rom from the recovery partition, or download a new one onto micro-sd and flash it from there (twrp is a pretty straightforward interface to choose the sd card over the device option)

* choose your options (bit of lucky dip here, but i would recommend the one that allows you most manual choices, and then agree to the obvious and accept the pre-ticked ones too, including which apks you need)

* install - which takes a fair while

* wipe the cache and delvik cache before reboot

* once the machine reboots, ignore it for half an hour and let it do whatever it does to make it happy - you may need to hit the start switch to bring the screen back up, as the screen will go to sleep during the wait

* don't tell it your gmail address... do that later when it's a going concern and you fire up play store

the secret ingredient is patience as the initial rom install stabilises - whatever that means, but i do know being in a hurry to configure things immediately after the install is problematic - i recommend minimum quarter of an hour once the "choose language" prompt appears unless you want to practice doing the reinstall again :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Cheers, I'll try this later, although I haven't got twrp I've got the clockkwork recovery. Think maybe the dalvik cache may not have been wiped when I installed the rom which might explain the problems....
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
there might lie your problem

i thought zombi pop required twrp as a pre-requisite

maybe i'm wrong ? it worked for me (x2 701t upgrades)
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
If you chose the option in the installer to wipe dalvik then it will get wiped.

The problem is more likely (as already said) that you need to format /data rather than just wipe it. The two do different things.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Hi, where is the format done though? In recovery or as part of the install? Do i need twrp to do this? I know at the top of the page it says to use twrp but then in the install instructions it mentions you can use Clockwork as long as it's above a certain version which mine is.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Found the format option in Clockwork so trying the install again. Completed in seconds though, thought it would take longer. Fingers crossed!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Same issues as before after reinstall. Flashing TWRP and following above instructions.....

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Ok, reinstalled using instructions with twrp, downloaded the wake on lan app and tablet still reboots when the app tries to open?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
First of all it could be an app that doesn't work well on LP. Run a logcat while you open the app and pull last_kmsg after the reboot.

But you flashed TWRP, formatted data, reflashed the rom and went through setup all in 30 minutes??
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Hi, no it took longer than that, the posts weren't in real time so to speak. The app works fine on my Nexus 5 and Solid Explorer Classic works on Lollipop. Neither of these apps are crucial to me but I wonder what others may not be working as intended. I've restored back to stock kit kat for now but may try again in a few days.
[Asus Transformer TF701] kevinthefixer:
Many apps have not caught up to Lollipop yet, it has many major changes since KK. I have several games that I cannot play all the way through on LP. Other, newer ones are fine...

Recommend ES File Explorer rather than Solid. It's more, well, solid. And for some reason even TWRP works better after a complete format of /data.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
I get your point however I've been using these apps on Lollipop on my Nexus 5 since Lollipop was first released so I would have expected them to work. I was wondering if anyone else running this build would test one of them just to see if they had similar issues? At least then we'd know for sure if its the apps or just my tablet......

Here is the wake on lan app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mafro.android.wakeonlan

Its free and only takes a second to install.

I'll try to reinstall the rom and get a logcat when I can also.
[Asus Transformer TF701] redejong:
satisfied

After installing this ROM I must say I am impressed about performance and usability.

Thanks to all the developers for the great work.

I tested following: (after using all the instructions for installation)

GPS, Bluetooth audio, Office apps, Sygic, Poweramp etc. I do not use games. Only thing I notice is that battery charging icon when using dock is not working. But this is a minor glitch.

Keep up the good work guys, I love this ROM. Thanks again for a great ROM!
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
I am using a slightly older version of this ROM and want to update it to the latest. Is it really necessary to wipe my tablet before I do so, or can I just flash the zip file and "upgrade?" I would prefer to not have to start all over again!

Edit: I just installed the update, and all went fine, but there is no Supersu icon anywhere on the tablet. I was having that problem before I upgraded, but the program also was not working. It is working now, but there is no shortcut to open the app. Anybody know a quick fix!?

Edit 2: Installed an app called QuickShortcutMaker which did the trick!
[Asus Transformer TF701] redejong:
Unfortunately, apart from this smooth working ROM, I had to uninstall it because of severe battery drain of the tablet, but especially the dock. Netflix not working, eventually, made it worse.

It was fast and responsive, but these disadvantages are e real dealbreaker for me. Sorry guys, but appreciate the work.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Not really, for me anyway. Maybe if you post the full logcat and the one from the working device. I think this problem with videos needs to be fixed at source if it hasn't already.
[Asus Transformer TF701] vlad48:
Extremely sorry for bothering, but any news for upcoming update, or just a possibility of using stock KK kernel here will be more than appreciated!
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
I have had a problem like this on my 701 since I rooted it and put on a custom ROM, not just this ROM. The battery seems to drain about two times as fast as any of my other tablets. I never found any kind of solution for it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Install wake lock detector. It's probably a Google service.
[Asus Transformer TF701] thugdrummer1:
I'm looking to try this out, but my current bootloader version is 11.4.1.17 (with CWM 6.0.5.0 and CROMi-X 6.1). The instructions for this ROM state a minimum of 11.4.1.27. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can someone point to where I can get the latest bootloader version? It's been a while since I've flashed ROMs and want to be sure I've got all my ducks in a row before I start.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Flashable zips of the latest bootloaders are here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61045480&postcount=2
[Asus Transformer TF701] thugdrummer1:
On my way to grab it now. Thanks for the quick response!
[Asus Transformer TF701] thugdrummer1:
Well, installing the bootloader also installed twrp, which seemed ok, but I was having all kinds of trouble getting this ROM to work right. Reinstalled several times (with complete wipes every time), installed CROMi-X 7, CROMi-X 6, and then back to Zombi-Pop. Sometimes it hung on boot forever, sometimes the touch screen wouldn't respond,.... Eventually I switched back to CWM, restored CROMi-X 6 from an old nandroid, just to be sure I hadn't bricked anything. Then I reinstalled Zombi-Pop, and it seemed to working great until I tried to connect to my wifi. It said I was connected, and had a valid IP, but when I tried to use Google Play to install software, it said I had no internet access. Tried tethering off my cellphone's mobile connection with the same results. Now I'm back at CROMi-X 7, and I'll have to wait until I've got time to play with it some more.
[Asus Transformer TF701] thugdrummer1:
Woohoo! Finally got it up and running. Went with sdbags best options (instead of picking and choosing my own) and it worked. I'll let it settle in for a while then take a nandroid for posterity. Then maybe experiment changing an option at a time to see where I break it.

Thanks again sdbags.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
Can't write to or write from card in the dock.

Thought Lollipop had the fix built in but installed SDcard fix anyway. Still no joy.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
How is that card formatted?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Hmm I only fixed the micro-sd - you can do it yourself in the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

Nah. Didn't work.

By the way only ES File Explorer can see the dock card. Not FX which is my preferred app.
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
Hello and thanks for this great rom. It's very fluid and helps that ol' tablet feel alive :)

I just wanted to let you know of a problem I have. Some apps just will not work and will trigger a reboot of the UI. Attaching the logcat of such an occurrence.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
After the reboot post the /proc/last_kmsg file please.
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
Sure, sorry, I'm not used to it :)

For some reason the last_kmsg file is not created when that UI crash happens. It only gets created after I instruct the tablet to reboot.

I'm no expert - maybe the kernel itself didn't restart, but only the UI did? (the reboot is much faster than a standard one)

Attaching last_kmsg after a manual reboot and having reproduced beforehand. Also attached new logcat.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Towards the end of your last_kmsg your device decides to do an emergency remount of your partitions. It then reboots.

This would suggest you have a corrupted partition. Time to reformat them in TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
I see, thanks for your analysis. I'll check the logs again so that I can learn from it.

Cheers again for the great rom
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
Actually, I just tried and I get the same error. I have been having problems with TWRP lately, when I ask it to format something it often hangs for a while and print warnings, Not related to this ROM though, so I'll keep investigating on my own or on the appropriate thread.

May I know which part of the log brought you to this conclusion? So that I can make sure I formatted the right partition, and check if it is the same problem I'm having,
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
With a Last_kmsg always start at the bottom and read up.
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
I have formatted all of my partitions including internal storage and the problem still occurs.

I can reproduce it with another app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat

I installed using "sdbags' best settings".
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I don't have my TF701 anymore so I can't test unfortunately. Sorry.

Can anyone else confirm it.

What about a different kernel?
[Asus Transformer TF701] dproffitt:
Re-install?

I have been having trouble with Zombi for a while. I get nuisance re-boots multiple times a day, and I have yet to figure it out. With you being the ultimate authority on this project, I would appreciate your wisdom and guidance. I tried to access and read my last_kmsg and it was unreadable. I was planning to do a re-install after a full wipe. Do you think this could help? Can you state what the step by step process should be for my case? I loaded with TWRP before, and I have done a Nandroid backup today in preparation.

On the other hand is there a better ROM to move to now?

And thanks for all your work improving these systems.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
The last_kmsg is a regular text file. Any editor worth its salt should be able to read it. ESFileExplorer can. Post one and we can have a look - it's the only way to start diagnosing the issue.

Or extract it over adb:

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Do you still get errors in TWRP? That may be your whole problem: TWRP not formatting correctly. You could try to reflash it or flash CWM recovery to do the format or format data in adb..

I am running the Logcat app and have none of the problems you describe
[Asus Transformer TF701] loner.:
I have had so many problems with twrp, I went back to cwm long ago for the tf701.
[Asus Transformer TF701] muryoh:
I actually no longer have any issue when wiping all my partitions. I tried the asus based kernel but I wasn't able to get any WiFi. :(

I have switched to CM 12.1 by pershoot for now as I didn't of anything else I could try :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] dproffitt:
It is literally corrupt and was unable to be read by text editor or even downloaded.

Does that in itself tell us anything? If that file is the key to understanding, I could just wait until it re-boots again and see if the file is usable on the next go 'round.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dproffitt:
I tried to install another FW from TWRP and that failed, I then tried to reinstall Zombi. I got through making the color choices and am now in a long wait with the squiggly lines intro. How long should I wait until giving up and letting it die? It has been an hour so far.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
No longer than 20 mins.

Time to format /data?
[Asus Transformer TF701] dproffitt:
I tried to recover to the original FW and it failed twice. I then tried to reinstall Zombi from recovery. After an hour, I started trying to force a shutdown. It started numerous reboot loops, and I think I have lost the war with this but I will try again today to see if I can get it to the fastboot stage. Then I'll try to push Zombi back on with adb. Do you have any advice at this stage?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Try formatting /data from TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dproffitt:
I wound up in some infinite boot loop where I could not access the TWRP menu so pushed another custom recovery with adb. When that installed I surprisingly got Zombi back (empty of apps, but so what) and I have a wifi connection. I intended to install FX so I could access a copy of my apps, but now I cannot install any apps from the store. The message I get is:

"xapp" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-7 QQDN-YTWL-MDAKE])

Does that mean anything to you?

FIXED - apparently you must delete your Google account, re-boot, and re-enter the account. Then it is fixed. I'm probably the last person to know this, but I now do.
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
sbdags,

May I ask what device you now have (or are leaning towards getting next?) I always like to purchase something where I "know" the developer from previous ROMs ;) :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I went for the Sony Xperia Z4. Perfect 10" tablet. Best I have used so far. And has a dock ;)

However, there is no way of rooting or flashing a custom recovery currently.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
No more updates hah?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
No sorry. I don't like releasing roms without being able to test them and it is becoming increasingly difficult to develop for the Asus Transformer range as we have no Asus source since Kitkat.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Technojo:
Just installed this ROM and it's been great so far. Is it stable enough to use? I mean, is there any big issues with this one? I don't have/use the dock. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
It should be stable enough.

[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
Due to continual battery drain problems, I am about to completely do my 701 over from scratch and reinstall this rom one more time before I try the Bliss Pop rom. During the install, I am given a choice of about 5 different kernels, but there is no explanation of what each one of them does, features, benefits, etc. Is there some documentation somewhere on this site that will give me that information? I searched, but came up empty. Will one of these kernels allow for overclocking of the processor or GPU? Also, on the first post of this thread there is a tips and tricks section that tells you to set the IO scheduler to noop, and to set the CPU min and max. Set the min and max to what?? :confused: Thanks to anybody in advance!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] dgcruzing:
Check your pm.. I popped you one if you haven't seen it
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
The battery drain is most likely from a google app. The kernels are all based from the Asus source and are slightly different variants. Try the default non extreme version for the most stable. The TF701 can not be OC'ed on any of these kernels - sorry. It is one of the fastest devices out there and doesn't really need it. There is another issue if you have slow downs.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
I guess overclocking is the wrong thing to do if one is having battery issues!! :silly: The drain on this is kind of odd. It does not get hot or anything. It has a parasitic drain while turned off. It loses maybe 10% a week. I can play a game for about 15 minutes and it will eat up 10-20 % of the battery. None of my other Android tabs do this. I will re-install the ROM again when I get home and try your suggestion. Thank you!

Edit: What Google apps could be the culprit?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yeah that sounds like maybe you went for the extreme kernel which basically says give me all the power all the time and screw battery life ;)

Try one of the others.

In my experience the google now functionality is a killer for battery drain. Once you run it it sits there constantly looking for updates to weather, sports, your searches, etc and keeps wifi busy. Google plus is pretty bad too.
