[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Steps

1 Go back to Stock Asus JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801 unlock

You need to install Kang TWRP v2.8.7.2

2 Wipe data partition: Wipe everything on your internal SD which means that you check all the boxes under "Advance wipe" except for the "External SD" box.

3 Load CROMi-X_DEODEX_5.4_Signed zip into external SDCard

4 Load Hund-US_ET_v3.0-Data-Cache_f2fs and Hund-US_ET_v3.0-Data_f2fs to external SDCard

5 Install Cromi-X no reboot and Select Hund's kernel, Apex launcher, Asus Stock Browser, Stock File manager, and anything else that you want during the installing process. Please make a copy of your "build.prop" file and you can find it here: "/system/build.prop". You need to reboot to System and update your Apex launcher ONLY from the Google Store. Reboot back into your twrp and change your "/Cache and /Data" partitions with f2fs.

6 Install Hund-US_ET_v3.0-Data-Cache_f2fs and Hund-US_ET_v3.0-Data_f2fs

7 Reboot

Notes: Please take notes all your selections during the ROM installation. I will help you make a quick Final setup and you should have a new tablet that you can enjoy and have fun with it.....:good:

Cheers,

LMK

1 What do I do with Hund-US_ET_v3.0-Data-Cache_f2fs and Hund-US_ET_v3.0-Data_f2fs

if I am not mistaken this replaces the unreachable zip file you created for Bx3m

You need to pick only one to install on your device. I would recommended the "Data-Cache_f2fs" zip.

2 Is there a place where I can read and try to understand all the option for installing Cromi_x and Hunds app?

Go to the Cromi-X thread and read the change log, I guessed.

3 In particular I am interested in the option Cache2SD if it enhcances the performance

I would recommended Data2SD instead of Cache2SD.

4 And would like to try Boot to Linux in Hunds Apps (is this really Linux?)

Android OS is a linux base and a lot of setting and behave very similar to linux. Hund is NOT an app. It is a kernel.

5 Can I regulary update the apps installed in the Tablet? Or better don't

You can update all your installed apps from google store like others ROMS or Stock ROMs.

And last Is there something else I can do to take this tablet to speed limits?

I guess that you can google or search around xda to see how others users speed up their TF700T. That is exactly what I did. You should test my tweaks before going on your own because it may cause some issues if your tweaks are bad.

I am rather curios though not always understand the concepts behind the Tweaks.

Tweaks means that you change the default setting of your OS and hope that they will speed up your device.

I hope that it helps.....;)

preping to update ROM..

Having trouble with PC not recognizing TF700. Also seems no drivers on ASUS site.

Path forward please?

thanks much
[Asus Transformer TF700] bx3m:
Maybe you have the developer options activated? If not, and it's still not working, try connecting through adb/Universal naked driver
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
What Kind of trouble do you have with your PC? Can not access to your internal SD as Storage (MTP), or adb driver issue, or fastboot issue? If you have the latest bootloader and twrp version on your device, you can transfer all other files to external SD using an adapter to your PC, too, good luck....:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Born<ICs:

Thank you. I may be OK now. After remove/insert of Orig USB 50million times Win 7 PC finally recognized device and can access all 3 drives.

I have latest TWRP 2.8 Area 51 on BL 10.6.1.14.10 running Zombi Kang, dragging feet on installing Z-Pop RC1
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It looks like that your device is good to go if you would like to try my tweaks. Go to post #18 and download the appropriated zip and follow the instructions there, good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
Done

What do I do next?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Hmm, what is the best way to get you up and running? According to what you said, I don't think that you are running my new tweaks yet...:( Please answer my questions so I have a better understand about your current setup.

1. Do you have Kang twrp v2.8.7.2?

2. Are you running Cromi-X v5.4 and Hund's kernel now?

If both answers are "yes", then you should be up running very soon with my new tweaks. You are a few steps away from having a new tablet...:fingers-crossed: Please answer my questions and I will give you a few more instructions to complete your new setup...;)

Cheers,

[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION]

Just one thing: during installation of Cromi-x I have chosen "normal" Hund's kernel, not "Hund's extreme tweaks" kernel. Did I pick the right one?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It should be fine because my tweaks are for hund's kernel so my tweaks will update any necessary files for this device....:)

BTW, how is your internet connection? Do you see it faster when browsing on the internet. I am using br2ram for the stock Asus browser... Overall, do you encounter any issue at all? Last, I am about to upload the ext4 tweaks for you and [MENTION=6706419]bx3m[/MENTION] to test it out, give me a few minutes to upload the files.....;)

Edit: Hmm, I forgot that if you use Hund's kernel, not Hund's ET during the ROM installation, please verify these for me and backup your data partition before proceeding the steps below:

1. Go here: /system/lib/modules and these are the only files in this location: bcmdhd.ko, bcmdhd_29.ko, bcmdhd_34.ko, cfg80211.ko, and tcrypt.ko. If you find others files beside those files mentioning above, please delete them.

2. Go here: /system/etc/init.d and delete all files under this folder EXCEPT this file: "50CleanTWEAKS".

Cheers,

Patch for my ET v3.0!

Warning: This patch is ONLY for the current users who are running my ET v3.0. If you are a new user or a first time user would like to test my tweaks, please go to post #18 and install the appropriated zip there before applying this Patch. Thanks...:)

This patch should further improve the performance of your device, please give it a try and give some feedback how it works out for you....:)

Install instructions for this patch:

1. Download the appropriated file for your setup: "Data_f2fs" zip is for ONLY /data partition using f2fs, "Data-Cache_f2fs" zip is for Both /data and /cache partitions using f2fs.

2. Install this patch in twrp regardless of your US/WW bootloader and reboot

3. Enjoy and let us know about your feedback, thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
Sorry if I was not clear. The answer to both questions are Yes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Ok, I will get you up and running with my new tweaks and will have to manually clean up some files because you did not follow the instructions on post #18 and #12 closely. So from here on, please follow every step of instructions:

1. Go here: /system/build.prop. You need to copy the build.prop file and save it somewhere safe so you can use it later during the clean up process...:)

2. Go to google store and update the "Apex launcher" to the latest version.

3. Reboot into twrp so you can change your /Cache and /Data into f2fs

4. Under "Wipe", "Advanced Wipe": Select only "Data" and "Cache" partitions and make sure that all others boxes are Unchecked

5. Click on "Repair or Change File System"

6. Click on "Change file System"

7. Click on "F2FS"

8. "Swipe to Change" to format your /data and /cache partitions with f2fs

9. Back Home and Select "Install"

10. Browse to your downloaded zip file: I believed that your bootloader is "US bootloader" according to your previous reply. This is the ONLY file that you need to install for your device: "Hund-US_ET-v3.0-Data-Cache_f2fs.zip"

11. Uncheck the box "Zip file signature verification?"

12. Swipe to install

13. Reboot to system and enjoy your new tf700t

At this point, you should be up and running my ET v3.0 BUT you still need to manualy add and remove some of files in order to maximize the performance on your device. Please let me know when you get your device to this point so I have a final instruction for you to do...:) Hope to see you soon..:highfive:

Cheers,

LMK
[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
Ok. I did what you asked. I will wait for more instructions from you. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I believed that your device is running at this point and should see a performance improvement, correct?:)

These are the instructions to set a correct DPI for your device and clean up old files on your system... Please ask any questions if they are not clear or confusing...

1. Go to google store and update everything to the latest versions.

2. You need a rooted "file explorer". If you don't have one in mind, I am using a free version of "fx file explorer". You need it to edit your build.prop.

3. Open the saved build.prop that I asked you to save before installing my tweaks and look for this line "ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx" and copy all lines after this line so you can paste them into the new build.prop.

4. Go here: /system/build.prop and open the build.prop file in the edited mode with the rooted file explorer. You need to paste the contents that you just copied from the "saved build.prop" at the end of this file.

5. Look for this line "ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx" and change it to "ro.sf.lcd_density=240". I believed that what you selected during the ROM installation.

6. "save" it, then close it.

7. Go here: "/system/lib/modules" and these are the only files in this location: bcmdhd.ko, bcmdhd_29.ko, bcmdhd_34.ko, cfg80211.ko, and tcrypt.ko. If you find others files beside those files mentioning above, please delete them.

8. Go here: /system/etc/init.d and delete all files under this folder EXCEPT this file: "50CleanTWEAKS".

9. Go to post #41 and download this file: "Patch-Hund-ET_v3.0-Data-Cache_f2fs.zip"

10. Reboot into twrp and install this file: "Patch-Hund-ET_v3.0-Data-Cache_f2fs.zip"

11. Reboot to your system and enjoy the Speed of the ET....;)

Please let me know if you have any issue, thanks...

Cheers,

[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
Everything Ok. All steps done. I something arises I will let you know. Thank you very much for the assistance.

Regards,

Jorge
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am glad to hear that....:) Do you see any improvement at all with this new setup? I hope that you will enjoy your TF700T little bit better with my tweaks...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I'm itching to try this. Cromi-X.... Good old times ☺
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Hmm, it is very interesting that you would like to try my tweaks....;) However, it is never hurt to try anything and it would not take long to restore your previous setup, right. You are very well knowing the procedures and hope that it will work well for your device this time...

What IF I could bring ART running time to Cromi-X, do you think it would be a great combination of performance and stability? Just a thought....:D

Nice talking to you my friend,

LMK
[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
Yes it is better than with stock kernel. Thank you.

I have a question that I cannot answer. Where can I get the stock music player? The reason is it connects automatically to the network to windows and upnp devices. I would like to have this behavior.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Is there a stock music player from the Cromi-X? What app is that? If it is from the Cromi-X ROM and you did not install it during the ROM installation, you can always sideload/install it in the twrp. Please give me the name of the app that you were talking about and I can help you install it on your device....:)

Edit: BTW, I forgot to give you instructions how to setup your device after installing my tweaks. If you have done this already, please disregard it.

1. Go to "Asus system Settings": Under Wi-Fi, Advanced Wi-Fi

2. Set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Only when plugged in"

3. Uncheck the box "Wi-Fi optimization"

4. Go to "ASUS customized setting" and Uncheck the box "Enable smart backlight adjuster"

5. Go to the Asus browser Advanced setting and Uncheck these boxes: "Fast Scroller" and "Dim the screen while website loads"

6. Boot into twrp and wipe the "dalvik-cache" so your android OS will rebuild the dalvik-cache with my new tweaks.

This will help improving your wifi connection and speed. Otherwise, your wifi connection will go into the low power mode and can not get out that you will experience a very slow internet speed until turning it off and on again. The color of the graphic appearance will fade here and there if you have the "Enable smart backlight adjuster" On. So you need to disable it for good....:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
Ok. Steps 1 to 6 done.

Does it help to put the animation transition options from 1 to .5 or .2 in the developer options?

The app I'm looking for is MusicPlayerWT. It is the stock music player in Samsung phones. But I don't think it will work on my Asus, or will it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Doesn't hurt trying. Search Samsung forums for a system dump of the rom the app belongs to. You should be able to extract the apk from it. But no idea if it needs other Samsung specific services to work...
[Asus Transformer TF700] bx3m:
Good morning guys,
[MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION] - Yes, it is something worth trying.

Overall, I am happy to see that many users are benefiting from this topic and rediscovering their tablet :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Great job....:good:

I did that in the past but I did not see any improvements during booting or performance on the device so it is your call...:)

Ah, that was what I thought because I did not remember any such app in the Cromi-X.

In theory, it would work fine if you could extract all app files from the Samsung phone and give correct permissions on all files that you move to your device. However, it is a little bit out of my comfortable zone and not sure where to help you out with this. I would recommend that you ask this question on the Q&A forum so the Theme Mods or ROM developers can easily point you in a right direction... Good luck....:fingers-crossed:

If you can find the ".apk" file for this app, you can install it directly from your system.. You may need to check the box to allow to install from an "unknown source".. I hope that helps...:)

Which flash version did you install? I tried 11,1,112,61 and the stock browser crashes on pages with flash content
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks for the feedback....;)

Did you try out my patch on page #5 and post #41? It should be better on your device...:)

Hi berndb,

I have a version 11.115.81 that I am currently using on my stock browser. Let me know if you need it....:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I do [emoji3]
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I don't know why your stock browser crashed. Did you clean out all the old files that I mentioned a few post above? Please let me know how it works out for your device, thanks...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Thanks buddy. That did it, flash is fixed. [emoji106]

Yes I did clean out the files you mentioned which seemed to be the init.d for b2r and fsync, right?

Did you pack those into the 50CleanTweaks?

Also wondered what the editing of the build.prop was for. That's the step I missed due to the NO - NYG game being so exciting :D

Say, if I wanted to dirty flash with different choices in Aroma, it should be alright to flash the rom, reboot to bootloader, enter recovery, and flash your tweaks and patch, right? Just wondering how to go about that with data and cache on f2fs.

Great job btw LMK. It's fun to be on stockish rom again and so far it runs pretty nice. It was great with basically nothing installed but as always (even on LP), as soon as you start installing stuff and actually use it, some lag and hesitation starts to appear. But still - so far this runs just as well as Zombi-Pop
[Asus Transformer TF700] bx3m:
Not yet, for 2 reasons: super-busy at work, and did not meet with my friend again yet... But I will, soon, and I will let you know :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] iritoi:
well, after almost 2 years and many lost hopes, my tf700 is alive again thanks to letmeknow!!! many thanks to you!!!

i just cannot believe how better the tab is now. the only thing which worries me whether the tablet will go back to being unresponsive with time and few additional app instals...as it was the case with other roms.

btw, i have tried to delete one additional file in /system/lib/modules (blocklayoutdriver.ko), but i get the message that i cannot delete it. i tried to find the same file through trwp,but couldnt. i wonder if it affects overall responsiveness of the tablet.

so the only question remaining now, what did the tweaks do and tens enthusiasts failed to do before (including asus employees):)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You have to mount system as r/w.

In ES tap on Root Explorer in Tools to get the context menu
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION]

I also would be curious what your tweaks actually are - I am enjoying the heck out of this tablet again!

I also think you should take this out of the relative obscurity of this thread into it's own thread. Something like "CROMi-X Reborn" [emoji14] and consolidate the prep and installation instructions into one neat OP.

I mean - pretty soon you should have like 14 hours of rain per day in the Great Soggy NW, right? What else are you going to do?? :LMAO:

Actually - I would volunteer to do the grunt work. Like..... actually writing the stuff.

You the brain, me the muscle - how about it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Hi [MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION],

Are you serious about the volunteer? like I said above. I don't know about my brain any more and it is heading South. If you really want to help, you are very appreciated for helping others users......:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I'm always serious :silly:

But seriously, yes I'll write a first draft this weekend and send it to you.

There are a couple if things I wonder about though. Like breaking flash ;)

I'll pm you about it later
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Sound good...:good: We can figure it out about the flash and looking forward for your draft.....;)

Hello everyone! I would like to thanks for the new life given to my tablet after applying all the tweaks. I'm in this community (ft700) since the beginnig and have to tell that all the work all developers have done with this tablet is amazing. I'm just a casual user and thanks to you I can use this tablet for a while longer and be happy with its functionality ever after 2 years after I bought it! One more time big THANKS!

[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
follow up

LMk:

I'm not sure if this is the proper way to do follow up but anyway. I reinstalled everything because I added the MyNet app from the Asus stock, i didn't know how to do it other way. The MusicPlayerWT won't install because it needs the WT UI, some people say in the forums. Now I have noticed that if I'm downloading from internet a big file (GB's) the tablet pauses a variable amount of time (can be from a few seconds to almost a minute) and then continues also with variable speed (I think the download server is not the one to blame) doing this several times during the same download. The pausing also happens if I'm copying files (like 1.2K files) from internal memory to the external SD card. And by the way I made this "copy" with the cut & paste commands from ES Explorer and the source files are still there. Also if I'm browsing the Internet the tablet pauses every now and then before going to the next page or another tab. In my previous installation I did not notice this behavior. Would you have any suggestions to fix these things?

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

One last thing in ES File Explorer or in VLC (music) items appers listed twice sometimes when in fact there is only one copy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
All of that sounds like a dirty flash gone bad. How did you "reinstall everything"?

ES shouldn't be doing what you describe and does not on my tablet. If I were you I would just clean install again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
[MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION] is probably correct about the dirty installation that you reinstalled the second time. Moreover, my tweaks are using the br2ram for the Stock browser. If you are using other than the Stock browser, you may experience a lot slower internet comparing to the Stock browser.

About the cut&paste, you should have a very fast sequential write speed. In the past when I tested the sequential write speed, it was around 15Mbps on average. So cut&paste a 1.2k files should be instantly or less than a second. Since you did not give us a detail how you reinstalled my tweaks, it is very hard for me to guess what is the cause/effect on your device.

You should try to cleanly reinstall the ROM and my tweaks and follow the instructions as close as possible to avoid any issue for your next attempt, good luck....:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] JorgeOC:
I reinstalled again. I will let you know if something strange comes up. Thanks.

Unable to change partition format ...

Dear LMK,

First thanks a lot for your info and assistance, it is a lot of time i am waiting for this kind of post ...
