[Asus Transformer TF700] AnnoyingMink:
Had the same issue on my config. Figured it out I did not download the SuperSU zip indicated on top of this post but the version from the supersu thread on XDA. While installing it indicates a failure during the flashing of the zip. If you don't pay attention to it it is easily missed.

Once you install this zip, the error in the setting pannel will disappear. Loading SuperSU will take some time the first time, and even requires you to insist it to load (try a few tiles, eve if you get an error the first time) Once you're there you can update the supersu to a more recent version through the play store. That did the trick on my config. Running 22, with the Gapps and SuperSU smoothly. Tx timduru.

There is no doubt that Timduru is a genius. This tablet (I have two!) would be worthless without his hard work.

[Asus Transformer TF700] AnnoyingMink:
Hi Timduru, discovered a weird (issue) with battery drain when the device is shut down. Initially thought it was my carelessness when I was confronted with a empty battery and though I forgot to use the switch on my power outlet where I plug the charger. (I don't keep the charger connected to the network when not in use, but I do use a poweroutlet to shut down the power instead of pulling it out the outlet every time)

I am able to repro the issue now. When I leave the device powered on without an active power supply, it looses 10, max 15% of battery over night. Which I think is not bad at all. But ... when I power down the device, all the battery capacity is drained over night. Do you have any idea where to look ? O what I can do to (help someone to) discover this issue ? Tx a lot, keep up the good work.

Running r22, pico Gapps and supersu downloaded through the link on top of this thread.

Regards

Agree, mine was on its way to the garbage bin until I discovered this marvelous ROM. It runs far better than the stock ROM Asus provided.:good::good::good::good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] WildZontar:
I must give props to the author of this ROM for creating a build that is actually usable. Since I've purchased this tablet, I've tried both the stock ROM and Cyanogenmod, and they were just unusably sluggish. I thought for the longest time that the flash hardware was simply bad since it persisted across ROMs. As someone who develops for Android and is interested in the technical stuff, how did you manage to fix the sluggishness on this tablet?

The only problem I have is that I am unable to encrypt the device. When selecting Encrypt Data, it simply reboots the device. I've formatted /data using f2fs, but from the logcat it looks like it's expecting ext4. Also looks like the /data partition needs to be shrunk? Is that in the domain of the ROM or does this need to be done from TWRP? Here's the relevant portion of the logcat, if it helps:
[Asus Transformer TF700] TRagin1212:
WOW!!!!

I have used this site before but I have never created an account. I had to create an account today just so that I can say "THANK YOU !!!!". I have had this tablet since it came out and it has been useless ever since. It mainly just sat in a drawer collecting dust. When I saw this post I was pretty skeptical that it would make a difference. Oh was I wrong. I am actually excited to use it again. Now, I just have to fix the spot on the screen that doesn't respond to touch.

THANKS AGAIN !!! :good::good::good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] 3vilhomer:
after i try to format the internal storage from TWRP i install the rom, supersu, gapps... but when i restart the tablet i got into a bootloop of TWRP

please help!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Thanks but that hasn't helped. All of the sudden TWRP doesn't even see my ext. card but windows sees it fine so I have no way to flash a rom
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
First, thanks for the snappy ROM and keeping this device alive. I have a question I just ran into and it might not be this ROM specific. I just purchased a movie on Google Video and having a problem trying to watch it. it shows shows "Playback isn't supported on this device" when trying to stream and "couldn't fetch license (error -1)" when trying to download. Thanks for any help
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Indeed, looks like the drm lib is not working with MM. I'll have to look into that. :P

That should mostly affect google play movies and apps that require native widevine drm.

Netflix & such are working fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
Thanks for the speedy reply. I understand.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Well I copied the ROM to internal storage and it flashed it fine from there but right now I can't see my files from the PC, but working okay other wise
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Google changed that in Marshmallow.

It always defaults to charging when initially plugged

You can change it temporarily:

1) Plug the tablet into your PC

2) click on the notification "USB for charging" and choose file transfert

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] Can this ROM be used with a kernel supporting pre-init?

Why YouTube cannot register watching history? Where can I find the setting for waking up the tablet with dock keyboard? I did not see it in 'Dock' or 'Battery' settings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
I don't know, you can test and report :)

It will be fixed in the next version.

It's not implemented yet, but should be soon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 1122qqww:
Thank you very much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
I have tested both Grimlock kernel and _that kernel, but both of them did not boot up the system.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You need to extract the correct ramdisk contents and make a preinit script to copy them to /, then my kernel should work with nearly any ROM. Or you repack the kernel with the updated ramdisk.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shinobi26:
Love the ROM so far. There's only one thing so far: I can't seem to change the wallpaper. I can set it to the default leaf green one, but I can't seem to set it to anything else. The background just turns black instead. The live wallpapers that came with the ROM work though. Is this normal not to be able to set it to any others?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
[MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] After repacking that11 kernel with the ramdisk from the ROM, the system boots up, but there is no usual preinit autodetecting rom2sd or data2sd. There is just brief one line of text, 'ANDROID shell@TF700T:/$'. What is missing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The preinit hook is a ramdisk feature. You need to rename the original Android init to init-android and add my init binary. And for it to do anything useful, you need a script /system/boot/preinit that does whatever you like.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pastorbob62:
I am seeing the same issue on all 3 launchers (Google, Nova and Lancher3). Only the live wallpapers work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
works ok for me, I can set another background.

Can you describe the exact procedure you're using to set yours ?

And maybe post the wallpaper you're trying to use.

Could be size or format related or something.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pastorbob62:
Same procedure I always use on all of my Android devices, long press the desktop background, select wallpapers, select the desired wallpaper, set wallpaper. Any of the stock wallpapers that are not live only shows a black screen when I return to the home page. However, the preview looks fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Did the same and works fine for me.

But I'm on the upcoming V012, I changed a few settings in launcher3 for tablets / bigger screens.

It could have been that.

Test again on V012 when I post it later today.

If you still have the issue , post your wallpaper file + logs
[Asus Transformer TF700] pastorbob62:
Can I try a different lcd density in build.prop to see if that helps? Maybe one to mimic your changes?

[Asus Transformer TF700] mqmeszi:
Read back, pls! #530 -

Check your bootloader version, TWRP version, format /data, data to f2fs, etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
10-15% is quite high from the start, it sounds like your tablet is kept busy and/or not sleeping, usually caused by one of your apps.

So you basically need to find what is causing that.

When it's fully powered down there's no interaction with the rom. It could be maybe that it's never really shutting down because of the problem above though. If you have some app blocking or not responding in the background and going crazy on shutdown. You should notice that the tab is getting warm though if it drains the full battery overnight.

If you have a dock that might also mean that your dock is kinda faulty and discharging the batteries. Maybe try to disconnect it, prior to shutting down or something.

There was a bug on the TF101 like that. But difficult to know overall as I don't have that issue. Maybe also try to reflash clean in case something went wrong.

Thanks,

Well it's the sum of different things I guess, the TF700 benefits directly from the existing base on KatKiss that was added through the years for the TF101 and TF300,

difficult to trace back precisely what it benefits the most.

But the TF700 definitely has a bad storage, the T101 is bad too , but TF700 seems to be even worse.

It's kinda weird as the TF300 which is supposed to be lower end is better on that aspect.

f2fs definitely helps for that, row scheduler too as it makes read required more for UI / apps not blocking when there's some write operations.

There are also other adjustments and backports in the kernel to try to ease that,

VM tweaks to allow more write buffering before doing I/O blocking, higher VM values because of its higher res, a few values changed in the rom and such things.

I still think there's something really broken, maybe in asus kernel in the way the TF700 storage is handled / detected, but I cannot pinpoint it exactly.

Could be something not handled correctly on the hardware side too, buggy nand chip or something. It should really be able to perform even better than that..

With the different tweaks and workarounds it eases the effects of the storage issues at least, and make things more usable.

For encryption, yeah I think the android implementation requires it to be ext4.

Problem is also that we don't have a Master Key implementation, it might be doable by trying to compile /use the one from grouper,

but considering that encrypting the partition adds a big hit on performance, even on recent devices, I never really bothered with that,

and would advise to not use encryption on older / buggy device like ours.

Dock USB/SD card issue

First off.

Timduru, thank you so much for this ROM. It really saved my TF700T and my two TF100’s.

Everything on the TF700T is working like a charm. I only have one issue with the dock.

The SD and USB ports don’t seem to work correctly. ES File Explores sees the card, but gives a “failed to open file” error. It seems that the card does not mount correctly. I can also not see the card in Settings under “Storage and USB”. The MicroSD slot on the tablet has no issues.

Does anyone else experience this?

Thanks.

Dock USB/SD card issue

Works fine by with my dock, see screenshot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] akjudge:
My TF700T "sees" the SD and USB cards just fine. However, when connected to my PC (Windows 7) the USB card is listed, but I can't see any of the files on it. And when I try to write to the USB drive via the PC, I get an error message. Weird thing is that this seems to be intermittant. Some times it works fine, but other times, I can't read the USB files...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Herkaun:
This is what I get:

The first screenshot shows the USB drive visible in ES File Explorer and the second one shows it missing in Settings.

Explorer unmounts it, to remove, but can't read it. The MicroSD card is visible in both and functions normally.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Herkaun:
I have not checked when it is linked to my PC (Win7) yet. Will have a look tonight.
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
K.A.T app is crashing regularly. Now drop everything you're working on and fix it ASAP.

Just messing with you I know you've been working hard and we are all enjoying the fruits of you labor. Just thought I'd let you know. Keep up the good work and look into it when you can. If you need anything from me let me know. This and DirecTV are the only apps I've gotten the "unfortunately xxxxxx has stopped working" message.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
No problems for me.

Check that you still have a working supersu app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Blue2733:
Great ROM!

:good:

Came across this ROM and it resurrected an otherwise useless tablet....great job and a Big Thanks Timduru!

One question I have is was I supposed to format the sd card to f2fs along with formatting the internal data? Everything seems to be quite zippy except when I wake up the tablet after it goes to sleep... It's laggy for about 5 - 10 before it kicks back into being speedy. Not complaining just wondering if that's normal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Pretty much normal, yes. The more apps you have that pull updates after sleep, the longer it takes to get up to speed.

Only /data should be f2fs. At least if you want the rom to boot :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
Just checked it. It's working.

One other thing I've noticed lately is when switching from an app back the the home screen that the icons and widgets redraw one after another. It used to be very fast, almost like changing the channel on a TV. Has anyone experienced this? I do have a high resolution wallpaper, could it be that? In developers options the force GPU rendering is turned on for 2d drawing, this is the default setting as I never changed it. I assume this is the best setting since that is the way the ROM was installed? BTW I don't have any transition animation on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
It sounds like you are running out of memory so it's killing apps, hence the full redraw

Could also explain your issues with the K.A.T app, if its service is getting killed too, grab me a full set of logs after it happens.

One thing to keep in mind is that we have only 1G of ram, which half is already used by the system.

So we're not left with much, so if you use high res wallpapers, widgets, have lots of apps installed with background services and so on, everything is going to fight for ram, getting killed when not in use, then restarted and so on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] primaleph:
I was thinking of selling my TF700T, so charged it and powered it up. I had forgotten how it runs like a dream with this ROM. Kudos, seriously. I used CROMI / CROMbi-kk / ZOMBI-POP for years without this kind of performance.

The only issue I have is that it randomly reboots, especially when updating apps. Any thoughts on how I could address that?

Are you planning on any further updates?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
After the next sudden reboot pull the last_kmsg and post it. That may give a hint on what's going on

Hi Tim.

I have followed you from the tf101 to the tf300 and now I am waiting for my tf700 (used) to arrive. My tf101 screen died - I tried everything so I bought a Yoga 2 to replace - and did not like, so got a reasonable deal on the tf700, and surprise surprise you have recently started developing for this tablet too - I couldn't have been luckier!

Any people new to Timduru - he has developed for the tf101 and the tf300 and saved both those tablets from the closet/cupboard - injecting new life into them, and he is now doing this for the tf700, we have been saved!

[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
Bluetooth is still a little quirky. Go to BT settings, toggle it on the first time, you'll see nothing. Don't do anything just back out of BT settings. Go back in BT settings and turn it on. You should see your Bose just make sure your Bose is in pairing mode before going back in the second time. You should see you device and once you pair all you have to do is the go in BT settings, turn on, go out, go back in and turn on again from now on.

I have a Bose Sound link mini among other BT devices and this works for me.

Hi, I'm having the tiniest issue with this otherwise brilliant ROM, which is after a reboot WiFi won't automatically connect. The icon appears as not available until you disable and re-enable WiFi manually or simply open the settings section that shows the available networks. After that WiFi stays stable and connected for days and weeks provided you just don't reboot the device.

Is this some known/expected behavior or is there some kind of fix/workaround for that?

Thanks!
