Long time starting whilst whilst "optimizing App 1 of 1"

Great job Tim,

Have successfully installed ROM 007 and recommended GAPPS. Works well, but on restart spends several minutes with “Android is starting optimizing App 1 of 1”.

I have checked the forum and others have mentioned this but have not spotted a fix.

Any advice?

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
not sure,

I don't have that issue.

Try to format /cache and dalvik-cache to force a full optimize process.

Maybe something went wrong whent art tried to optimize one app.

Did it do that from the 1st install or after you restored some of your apps ?

Would help to find out which app it is exactly.

If it is still doing it after the cache and dalvik format,

reboot and Grab a logcat right after it is done optimizing the 1 of 1 app.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DPR59:
Tim, thanks for a prompt response. I have now done a clean install, including a factory reset and data format.

Problem still present on second boot, with only apps in your recommended GAPPS package installed.

Then installed ES File Explorer and Chainfire's LiveBoot to create the logcat.log file. However, I don’t have the knowledge to understand the output, even with the help of google.

I then wiped cash and dalvik and on restart the optimization process moves along at a reasonable pace, but spends a long time optimizing app 69 of 72. Not sure if this helps, and remember this is with ES File Explorer and Liveboot installed.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

i have the same problem not a big issue just a bit annoying
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
Seems to be google gms app taking too much time to optimize for users who left /data as ext4

I'll increase the timer in V008,

but if you change /data to f2fs that should be faster and work fine too.

It seems to be the difference between those who have the issue and those who don't: /data ext4 Vs f2fs
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.stoltz@gmail.com:
hey, sorry for the noob question but how do i change to f2fs and also the browser seems to block going on google sites that are advertised if i try go on bookings.com for example through a google search it says err connection refused
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
Wipe => Advanced wipe

check the box for data then click on Repair or change file system

then click F2FS

That's the adblocker included.

What is the hostname in the url? I can remove that to let it go through.

it seems I'm very unlucky lol, I tried doing this but get an error that says file system could not be changed or something like that, I tried some other sollutions on google but none of them worked, I still get the same error
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
You need to use a recovery that supports it and is not buggy.

ie use the KANG TWRP linked in the 1st post of the rom

(Some of the TWRP out there won't support formatting F2FS correctly.)

Screen rotation cure?

I have found that with rotation control app installed, but NOT running, auto rotate appears to work for apps I am using, if rotate screen is enabled in display properties.

No need for manual rotation, indeed, the rotation app is not running, just installed then stopped in app properties.

So far works every time for me
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.stoltz@gmail.com:
Hey Tim just for curiosity sake would there be any benefit in having cache and system as f2fs aswell? If so can you make the next update compatible :D I tried doing it just to see if it would work but was just stuck on the meerkat screen so I put system and cache back to ext4
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPSmart:
Fantastic work, Timduru. I installed the 08 without a problem and without changing partition to F2FS. Installation and App optimization took less than 10 min. I got frustrated though because of the autorotation issue and the lack of marshmallow support (card access) of some apps (i.e. Dropsync). With the 09 and the autorotation issue solved I will go back to MM. Thanks for your effort :good::good::good::good:

I actually hadn't touched my TF300t for the last year. But with your great roms - it is a pleasure to use it again.

Thanks for all your work on this ROM.... A noob here, am using the KatKiss Lollipop v030 and it is the best. Have tried to install KatKiss Marshmallow v009, seems to be slow as i suspect am doing it wrong, here is the steps i did using TWRP 2871.

1. Full Wipe = success

2. Flash KatKiss Lollipop v009, flash super su, flash gapp (in that order) = success

3. Wipe cache/davlic = success

4. Tried to change data to f2fs with twrp 2871 = not allowed or error or failed

5. Reboot to system = tablet booted to marshmallow but very slow even though i let it optimize for an hour and a

half.

Questions:

1. When should i change the data from ext4 to f2fs? Is it before step 1 or after step 1, step 2?

2. I also see some post that i should unmount, how to do that and in which step should i do unmount?

3. Maybe TWRP 2871 is the culprit?

I update TWRP by flashing the latest TWRP(zip file). The problem now is the latest twrp(2872) is an img file.

Will that img file be flash to update my TWRP?

Have returned back to KatKiss Lollipop v030. Sorry for all this troubles, this tablet is my only computer and you made it very fast. Helps me with my studies. If someone can help me?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theziggy:
1. After step 1

2. The new version of the ROM checks to see if system is mounted or not - so you don't have to worry about that

3. Most people are using Kang TWRP - there is a zip file for 2.8.7.1 zip file.Here

2.8.7.1 should work fine. are your TWRP versions KANG?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewanlintek:
Thank you very much for the reply sir

Am on Kang TWRP 2.8.7.1

Will try again and will change data ext4 to f2fs after step 1

How will i check the ROM if mounted(if mounted, i will unmount it?) and when will i do that?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Reposting here since it seems better suited in a Q&A thread

1. How do you access Google Now? Swiping up from the home screen doesn't seem to work

2. Right click to go back doesn't seem to work despite enabling it in options

3. WiFi also seems to turn off during sleep despite the setting telling it not to. Strangely this is a problem I had on KatKiss Lollipop as well

Of course, I haven't done a full wipe, just a factory reset so understand and accept if the problems are through there, but I was just wondering if this was the case for other users as well

We don't make mistakes, We just have happy accidents.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artemis-kun:
Hi there, has anyone tried using an exfat formatted card with this ROM in the dock SD slot as of yet? In the 5.0 ROM, there was an issue with exfat cards when you closed the tablet, which powers off the dock and disconnects the card, but when you attempt to reconnect to it, the OS refuses to mount it because the 'safely removed' flag on the SD is set, and there is no way on the device itself to fix the flag. You are forced to connect the card to a full computer and do some sort of 'scan and fix' to the card, which never finds any errors, but resets the flag, which then allows the card to mount in the dock SD. The issue does not occur in the 4.x ROM, so I've been sticking to that one because I need the dock SD card, and exfat is my only option, as I store files on the card that are greater than 4gb.

Thanks for any feedback!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KritonK:
As mentioned in the first post in the main thread, NTFS & Exfat support have not been implemented yet. If you insert an SD card with these file systems, the system will tell you that the file system is not supported, and will offer to format the card either for data transfer or as internal storage.

Note that using NTFS is also an option, as an alternative to exFAT. This is what I'd been using on Katkiss Lollipop, because i wanted the ability to have files larger than 4G, but something, I think it was TWRP, didn't recognize my SD card, when formatted with exFAT. NTFS is fully supported by WIndows (obviously) and Linux, so it is a valid file system for transferring data between the tablet and these two platforms. (On MacOS I gather that NTFS write support is not officially supported and off by default, so exFAT is probably a better option for transferring data between the tablet and that platform.)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artemis-kun:
Serves me right for not reading the first post fully, d'oh. Reformatting 128gb to ntfs is a lengthy process, though, and when I tried it before, I noticed a definitely decrease in read/write speeds, though maybe it was more imagined than not.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KritonK:
Does the TF300T support SD cards larger than 32 GB? I was under the impression that it doesn't. Or is that a limit only with FAT32?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff@geb789.plus.com:
will this rom be ok to flash on me301t
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artemis-kun:
Not a limitation of fat32, it doesn't max out until 2tb, though fat32 doesn't allow for file sizes over 4gb. Additionally, the tf300 is spec'd for the sdxc standard, which has a maximum of 2tb as well. Generally speaking, sd readers aren't locked to a particular maximum size, they're limited by the standard.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonTWolf:
Optimization taking an hour or more post install

An observation only:

followed all instructions to the letter, on first reboot got the "Optimizing App 1 of 1" startup screen which took just over 30 minutes, on all subsequent reboots, the new message is "Optimizing App 'x' of 5" and can take anywhere up to two hours to complete. That was release #07, after not experiencing this problem in #06, I was hoping #08 or #09 might fix it, alas not.

I then noticed elsewhere that people were having similar problems on other ROMs because they hadn't updated TWRP beyond 2.7.0.0 (like me) so as soon as this reboot cycle finishes, I'm flashing the latest KangTWRP (as advised) 2.8.7.1 (= latest build), doing a data format, performing a Dalvik-Cache wipe, installing #10 (thanks for a new release so quickly after #09) because your ROM is the only one I can get working satisfactorily (battery use, speed improvements, o/c'ing etc so much better than any other) on my TF300T (probably because I'm Australian and tech firms take us for granted in so many ways it's not funny, e.g. TWICE the price for anything here, that could be bought in US, even accounting for exchange rates plus we're closer to China yet still get sold products using the US$ as an intermediary exchange rate keeping basement prices in the penthouse).
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
Once you have installed Kang TWRP,

format /data f2fs

then do the usual procedure:

flash rom + supersu + gapps (flash these 3 everytime, even when flashing on top of a previous rom version)

wipe cache + dalvik-cache

With that setup first boot should take a bit less than 10 mins for *all* apps.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
I'll add a terminal back in the next version, so you can install apk from there.

as mentionned in the thread it's made for the TF300T,

I don"t have a TF201 to maintain it properly,

but you mostly need a repacked TF201 kernel for KatKiss

Someone should do that at some point.

I don't own the device, but it might work as it's similar to the TF300T

Don't expect the 3G/data to work out of the box though.

I use the browser without issues here. Did you make a format of /data before installing the rom ?

Google play is included into the gapps zip,

so if you don't see it, it would seem that it didn't install correctly,

check that the zip files are not corrupted and try to reflash .

On my TF300T the Bluetooth appears to be working fine. I was able to find my phone and pair with it. Did you install SuperSU when you did the install? A lot of my problems went away when I did this..

With this ROM, the only issue that I have encountered so far is the Email client. Gmail will NOT allow a connection and they even sent me an email stating that the client was not secure so they refused the login attempt. I used the Playstore to download the Gmail App and everything is sweet.

I've just had a pretty random reboot while playing Boom Beach. I'll keep my eye on it.

Thanks for this build, I previously had build 006 installed and as others have mentioned, on reboots it took a long time for 3 apps to be optimised, this is no longer occurring on build 010 (yay!)

So, as per above, I flashed build 010, but also reformatted /data to f2fs before I started. I then did a dirty flash and everything seems to be working just fine.

Prior to process, I took a copy of the internal drive to the external SD card as a "backup", figuring I should be able to copy pictures and music files back across. Had to do this via PC as the external SD wasn't being recognised (it's a 64GB).

Reboot, checked a couple of things last night and all cool. Decide to play some tunes today using downloaded music on Play Music, and realise I have to copy the music back.
