Scruffy :)

Thanks for all tricks and tips, the wait for the system to stabilize is probably the one that I did not do ever! Still a lot older stuff is not running properly.

Since I still am free for the whole of next week I can spent some time in re-trying.

I will follow your proposed approach to the letter and of course will report back.

Regards,

HBA
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
Thanks! Just installed TWRP and got it backed up! I may give this a try this eve!
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
I just installed after doing a complete wipe. The install seemed to go fine, but the tablet rebooted, and now it has been showing animations of 4 colored dots for about 45 minutes. is this normal?
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
i have a suspicion that a lot of the "issues" people encounter are due to ignoring or overlooking the "give the rom a chance to stabilise" instruction

it is virtuous to have breakfast / a long walk / play borderlands or whatever if you are impatient at waiting while you can see the screen beckoning

i also just wiped dalvik / cache again after the fresh install before the reboot because..... i could :silly:

it's almost lunch time here, but as i haven't had coffee yet, let alone breakfast, i will be attending that to help kill time whilst waiting... android is starting and installing 88 items, but the clock for "stability" begins when i see the welcome page, so it's hands off for the next half hour to be safe, before getting back into testing.... this is a vital step that is easily left out in the eagerness to play with new roms

kudos yet again to sdbags.... this rom rocks ! :highfive:

---------- Post added at 11:58 ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 ----------

see above

if you went straight into set up, start again with a cold reboot - hold the power switch and vol down

i guess there's a reset button somewhere, but i wasn't sure the hole on the right side of the tablet isn't a microphone, so i wouldn't encourage poking things in there unless someone more experienced than i am recommends that activity :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF701] kevinthefixer:
4 or 5 minutes, even 10, maybe normal. 45 minutes, no. "Complete wipe" may not be adequate; this combo of ROM & tablet seems completely intolerant of any hint of filesystem corruption. Format /data! Then re-flash the ROM (the installer will format /system).
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
just a brief addendum to my earlier post, to confirm that leaving the rom to stabilise for 20+ minutes after initial instal (as per my recipe) is magic

everything thereafter is extremely well behaved, with the already noted exception of the dock sd card being temperamental, and registering multiple times in the "storage" part of device settings (9 times actually, fwiw :p)

but that's a really minor inconvenience, and invisible unless you go searching for it
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
I just restarted the tablet and now I cannot get it to go into TWRP. It comes up to the bootloader screen, I hit Vol down, RCK unhighlights, and it just sits there. What is going on??

Edit: Never mind! I am giving the install a 2nd go round now.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
I restarted the install after a format and complete wipe. Now the install is stuck at 75% installing Google Core Libraries and Playstore to /system. It has been stuck like this for about an hour now. Do I need to try this again???
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
mmm.... yep !
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
This is odd. I turned the tablet off to remove the microsd card. I wanted to make another backup of my backup files (nandroid and Titanium BU) on my PC. First of all, the tablet would not stay shut off. After I removed the sd card, the thing booted into the OS and I went through the setup process. It seemed OK at first, but I cannot install anything from the Play Store. I keep getting a "Cannot retrieve setting from server" error. Going to give this one more try. This time, I am leaving the sd card out and we will see what happens!
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
start from scratch

do a clean wipe and a clean install plus the two extra zips early in the thread

do not attempt to do diddly squat once the welcome screen appears, for 20 minutes; and don't tell it your account on the welcome stuff; wait till it connects and thinks for a bit

only then let it know your account in gmail, and work from there

be patient ! let the rom settle in.... the wireless takes up to several minutes to establish, and mine did the "connect" cycle with wifi repeatedly , but eventually was good as gold
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
Thanks! Everything went great after I removed the sd card and did the install again. I ran the performance patch, but not the one for the dock as I do not have one.
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
yeah, well done !

my discovery of the week has been that patience and perseverance (and being prepared to repeat things even though it seems you have done exactly the same before) pays dividends

you will be really impressed with the speed on this rom, and you have also cleverly managed to avoid the frustration of why the dock refuses to play nicely with the sd card there :)

have fun !
[Asus Transformer TF701] rookiehome:
:confused: So a new day and some time to retry the process proposed by scruffy1.

Trouble is here again, I did the wipe (dalvic, cache, system, data) ending up with unable to load partitions.

Did the reboot and since then TWRP starts up with open recovery script ends with done processing and reboots back it to TWRP and continues with open recovery script the only option (did not try yet) is cancel

Help is very much appreciated.

Regards

HBA

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Perseverance is at least paying off.

It is rebooting (was more than a bit worried), now i will apply the patience and will not touch anything (exempt the power button) for at least haf an hour.

In the mean time it Booted up, now I will wait.

Thanks again

[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
Everything is running great, but how do I uninstall the Nova Launcher? I have a root uninstaller, but it does not even see it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
You don't have it in Settings > Apps > All???

TiBu also would do it for you....
[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
It does not show up there. It was installed during the rom upgrade. Normally, the apps apk is stored in system/apps folder, but I do not see it there either. Where else would it be? I will try Titanium in a bit.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
It is stored in /system/app/NovaLauncher.
[Asus Transformer TF701] kevinthefixer:
Why uninstall it at all? it does't take up much room.
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
keep the faith !

i managed to retrieve one of my 300t's from an endless bootloop using the usb and fastboot by managing to load the tablet during the boot cycle after umpteen tries with lucky timing on hitting enter

it seems to me after quite a bit of rather neophyte fiddling on my collection of transformers (5 in all now :) - but the 3 x 300t's have been sold on once we moved to 701's) that bricking them requires you to rush the process and do something completely dangerous, whereas if you can see a screen, chances are it is recoverable, but the google-fu must be strong :fingers-crossed:

and you need to rtfm !
[Asus Transformer TF701] scruffy1:
notification volume does return from zero - i'm derp

hmm... a new glitch discovered :

i turned the volume of the notifications down to zero in the "sound and notification", and it now has a strike through it and refuses to turn back up (even on reboot)

the other two volumes can be zeroed and reset without issue

any quick fix ? or is it a reinstall for me ?

oops, goggled the fix eventually - hit the volume up switch and reset in the splash :eek:

Happy TF701 user

Hi again, I want to thank everybody that took some time to help me in my struggles with this rom.

In the mean time I have decided that I and this rom are not made for each other and have returned to kitkat.

Had quite some troubles with TWRP and wiping, formatting but like advised by scruffy1 perseverance is key and I managed to mount all partitions to ensure all formatting and wiping where successful and re-installed 4.4.2.

Immediately after rom stabilization restored all 450 apps and all of them work again.

I have found my new rom in CromiX 7.1 R2.

Again thanks for all shown support.

With my regards,

HBA
[Asus Transformer TF701] lj50036:
One cannot wipe a mounted partition :p

Nice to see you up and running..... :good:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF701] rookiehome:
Josh,

You are right of course, it was one of the things i learned from this exercise but with the tricks that TWRP does the only way to validate that all partitions are actually available is to try and mount them after a reboot or after a reboot due to "unable to mount ....." which is a known problem with TWRP also learned today to avoid these issues advice of sbdags in the thread of upgrading to TWRP is to do a single wipe prior to anything else.

Again thanx to all of you that helped.

Regards,

HBA

Thanks, but if I check to install stock Asus kernel WiFi is not working properly.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
When you say it's not working properly what do you mean? Does it turn on? Does it connect? No throughput?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
OK yes the wifi symbol has a ! next to it. So for now stick with the Omni kernel. Looks like there is a kernel issue with the Stock kernel.

Confirmed there are some changes I would need to make to Asus source (Kitkat) for this now to work. OK that will take more time to fix.

Hi, just installed this but having issues with the play store. Get error retrieving information from server whenever I try to install an app.

I thought maybe it was due to restoring the apps from the Google backup during the initial setup so did a factory reset but still won't work??

Can anyone help?

Hi Josh, I wiped data before installing the from and then the factory reset should have wiped data a second time.

Hi.

I have this tablet and after a restore the touch driver doesnt work, its like its out of sync.

In landscape mode only the left side of the screen work, and when the screen is pressed its offset by more than an inch. I have tried different drivers, but I havent found one that works.

The driver Im using is :

Provider : Silead

Date : 10/9/2014

Version : 18.53.2.188

I dont know if this is the right driver/manufacture, but its the only one I have any luck with getting any response from the screen.

Anyone has a working driver or knows which driver to use?

Thanks in advance....

I spent ages trying to get TomTom 6 working and gave up, so instead thought i would use google to help me to get the latest maps working. They don't work though. Except for one which is new and does work on TomTom Mobile 5.20. Don't know why but its the only one, if you found another new one that works, post it here.

UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223

no need for TomTom 6 now!

:)

they wont work becuase the new maps are teleatlas maps v675

the old ones are navteq v660

tomtom 6 doesnt work due to the screen res on phone

UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223 does work with TomTom 5.20 because thats what I use.

thats the best you can get on this phone :)

I thought I found that TT6 didn't work because I couldn't get it to select the GPS, I couldn't find any way to get it to select the com port for the GPS at the bottom of the list of available com ports.
[HTC Monet] nightbird:
Tom Tom 6 does work on this phone.

Add the GPS device in Bluetooth manager to COM6. Make sure secure connection is off. Now use 'fakecursor' in TomTom6 to select com6. The devices will be paired and you can now turn secure connection back on in the bluetooth manager. Map 'fakecursor' to the camera button on the side of the phone. It will make Tomtom6 easier to use because you have instant access to the cursor when needed. When you disable fakecursor, it exits to the homescreen, but tomtom is still running, so just click ok button on the quick launch icon and it will take you where you last where in tomtom.

For those that want to build themselves, get the standard sources for PAC (look here), then create a file called vs980.dependencies in vendors/pac/dependencies/ with this in it:

[
{
"account": "CyanogenMod",
"repository": "android_device_lge_vs980",
"target_path": "device/lge/vs980",
"revision": "cm-12.1"
},
{
"account": "CyanogenMod",
"repository": "android_device_lge_g2-common",
"target_path": "device/lge/g2-common",
"revision": "cm-12.1"
},
{
"account": "CyanogenMod",
"repository": "android_device_qcom_common",
"target_path": "device/qcom/common",
"revision": "cm-12.1"
},
{
"account": "CyanogenMod",
"repository": "android_kernel_lge_msm8974",

},
{
"account": "TheMuppets",
"repository": "proprietary_vendor_lge",
"target_path": "vendor/lge",
"revision": "cm-12.1"
}
]

Next create a file called pac_vs980.mk in vendors/pac/products/ with this in it:

# Check for target product
ifeq (pac_vs980,$(TARGET_PRODUCT))

# Bootanimation
PAC_BOOTANIMATION_NAME := 1080

# Include PAC common configuration
include vendor/pac/config/pac_common.mk

# Inherit CM device configuration

Would you say this is the best 5.1.1 you tested? Am running RR
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Best is a really strong word. Everything seems to work and it's running pretty smooth. Anything in particular you are looking for?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Honestly, it comes down to features. It runs as well for me as what aicp officials do, but it uses the same kernel, so there is not much difference.

Only thing I miss on PAC is slim recents, which I have always been a huge fan of.

If you're talking speed, then you need to go with a light ROM. Take the new unofficial slim builds, and a ROM that has yet to be released but will be, and it also is built on slim.

Less features = less **** to bog it down and also means less issues.

Like I told Reese when he let me try it a few days ago. It runs as well as my daily driver (aicp) and its honestly hard to pick one or the other. Just comes down to preference in features.
[Verizon LG G2] reasonz20:
A rom for gaming and daily driver. Would you recommend this one?
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Ive used every one of the ROMs as of late as a daily driver.

Is this rom stable enough for a road trip?
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Op is updated with a corrected selinux.

I would say yes - after all, it's my daily driver. On a trip you might run into the cell data bug that seems to trouble all the non stock roms for the vs980. The data will quit working and you get an exclamation mark on the signal icon. The easiest fix is to go into APNs and edit the selected one, then back out without changing anything.
