Remember you must have a fast microSD card formatted with a fat32, ext4 for /data and ext4 for /system in GPARTED for Rom2sd.
1. You need a fast microsd card - preferably at least a 16GB Class 10 - UHS-1 card like a sandisk or Samsung with a read speed of over 20MB/s
2. You need to use Linux or how I did it a GParted ISO on a Bootable USB Stick on a PC ;)
3. In GParted set up your micro sd with 3 partitions all primary (no logical) in this order FAT32, EXT4, EXT4
They will be used as SDCARD, /data, /system in that order so I recommend the following sizes for a 16GB sdcard; 4GB for SDCard, 11GB for /data and 1GB for system or thereabouts.
If you used a 32GB or 64GB card then increase the SDCard and /data partitions as you see fit (I went with 16GB, 47GB and 1GB on my 64GB card)
4. The ROM now flashes the correct preinit script files to your normal system setup so as long as you have a _that or hunds based kernel it will detect your ROM2SD automatically ;)
5. Install the ROM2SD version and let it finish. Let it reboot.
6. You should be presented with a clean install setup wizard when it boots if it has worked. If it hasn't worked you will be back at your previous CROMi-X/miniC installation launcher.
7. Job done - set up your ROM2SD however you like - it can't interfere with your normal setup ;)
8. You will notice 2 folders on root - datai and sdcardi - these allow you to see your internal /datai and sdcardi partitions if you wish to copy files over ;)
9. As long as the SDCard is inserted you will boot to ROM2SD, remove it (not whilst in android unless you want to crash) and on that boot you will switch back to your normal miniC or CROMi-X if you installed that to SD.

Various Kernel Benchmarks

Right benchmarks with various kernel options:

All were taken on CROMi-X 5.1 Odex with default options at 240dpi unless otherwise stated (fsync off / on). I've used quadrant as most people understand the results - I know it's not the best and I did 3 tests each time and took the 3rd result.

Stock - fsync on - 5672

_that v4 - fsync off - 5981

_that v4 - fsync on + data2sd - 5745

Hunds - fsync off - 6805

Hunds - fsync on +data2sd - 6597

So data2sd doesn't really offer that much if you keep fsync on. It does feel faster when loading large games and files. The issue is it is a bit more unstable and easier to corrupt the data partition if you have fsync off. Same risk with normal data I suppose but less likely to corrupt due to less sponteneous reboots.

Is data2sd worth it? Only if you want to use your tablet whilst downloading large files or play store updates or you are prone to corruption with fsync off. Otherwise you can achieve at least the same speed with fsync off although with a risk to corrupt your data partition eventually.

Bernd! Many thanks for the first donation of miniCROMi-X. :)

You're more than welcome!

But could I trouble you for more detailed instructions for thick headed noobs like me on the ROM2SD installation?
I'm good until point 5), but then....

How's the hell do you install mini-X to the microSD?
I understand that once installed on a microSD with the correct partitions the kernel (??) will auto-detect it and boot into the rom installed on the card.

But how do you install? Boot into TWRP with miniCROMi-X on the fat32 partition of the card and just install from there?

I have to admit, it's late and I'm lazy. Just got finished with a clean install of 5.1.2 (which btw is super smooooth so far) and would hate to flash over that if I'm wrong. :p

I'm going to get a full guide written mate on how to get the parted iso create a bootable usb and then use it ;) Give me a few days ;)


Also we have an alternative method for ROM2SD from _that that may make it even easier to install ;)

I just tried to install, minicromi -and after twrp installed it, it didn't go into setup... just said reboot. At that point it would simply stick in a boot loop. Tried to reinstall boot loader and will retry. Really want to put all on my new SD card to speed this baby up

success!

Update: I can avoid the reboots if I pop out my SD card. So. Just installed mini, now will go back to twrp and pop in SD card (partitioned), and try to install rom2sd

Sent from my VS980 4G using Tap a talk




Keep in mind im a beginner!

Few words of advise:

1) I ended up using new cromi 5.1.2
2) you must install twice!!! first without the sd card (i had mine in and it caused problems)- and choose option to set up rom2sd
3) start device- then reboot again into twrp bootloader- and reinstall rom but choose rom2sd now---(now insert sd card!)

first time it crashed after rom2sd- but second time (switched to hunds) and boom...its a miracle...device is awesome!!!


side note- i DID use the micro explorer windows partition tool many said "doesnt work well"- had windows 8 device- worked like a charm.

worth the late night figuring this out.


sdbags- how can i donate! you are the man

I've been having a somewhat similar problem. I now tried your version, but I still end up with it upgrading the 87 apps, then it forever stalls at Android is upgrading... with the subtext Starting apps. I've installed it like 10 times, this last 2 times using your method (_that's OC then Hunds), no difference no matter what I try :crying:

It works fine without the card and the Rom2SD compatible option install. During second round Installed 5.1.2 both from internal memory with popping in the card midway, as you wrote and also from the card itself, left in, obviously.

When you make the partitions on the microSD card, do you give it a label or flag. I do neither. I'm at my wit's end... and wife's starting to get pissed off that I'm spending all day on this - again! :eek:

I don't understand what problems you guys are having, I have installed this 20 times plus and it works fine every time.

I gave my partitions labels - not sure if it matters.

So you have fat32, ext4 and ext4

You install the rom and you have two choices:

1. You install it without the ROM2SD compatibility and without ROM2SD as you only care about internal. (If you install it with ROM2SD compatibility it is going to try and boot from the SD card but you currently have nothing installed so it will never work - this will force you to have to boot with the card out)

2. You install the ROM2SD (this automatically forces compatibility to internal as well - maybe this is the confusion?). As long as the card is in it will boot to ROM2Sd but only as long as you have CROM-X or miniCROMi-X on internal.....

The only time you need to choose ROM2SD compatibility is when you already have a working rom on sd and you are upgrading internal.

Does that make sense?

So what you meant was:

1) Install it first the good old fashioned way choosing normal mode and let it boot and finish setup.
2) Then do the exact same thing again, only this time with the install Rom2SD option instead of the “normal” option.

Is that correct?

4. You must have already installed CROMi-X with ROM2SD compatibility selected from the installer and have it working - dirty or clean will work.
5. Install the ROM2SD version and let it finish. Let it reboot.

That part 4 sounds like my point 1 but with the compatibility option instead which you say don't work, hence the confusion.

I install two different boot animations so I can see where it's booting from. My point 1 is done and all good. Then I did point 2 and just like before it starts just fine, but then ends up stuck at the “Android is upgrading... Starting app.” screen and it never finishes. Last night I just did that too and this morning it was dead and out of battery (started with a full charge).

I'm dying to know what labels you gave your 3 partitions respectively. Since you didn't mention flags, I'm guessing you didn't flag one as boot for instance. This would be a really quick to change and see it that is where the dog lies burried.

Thanks for your quick reply btw. Mine a bit late as I just had to try out your suggestions.

Yes 1 and 2 are how I normally flash it. In fact I just did it again tonight and it worked fine.

4 and 5 (what happened to 3? :D ) will also work.

I'll think about the installer next time to make it a bit more obvious.

You don't need to flag anything - only primary partitions. Don't need to set boot flag.

I labelled mine like this:

FAT32 : STORAGE
EXT4 : SD-EXT
EXT4 : SYSTEM

But you could label them whatever you want.....
 
Stuck @ "Apps upgrading..." SOLVED!

Not too sure about that just label them whatever part though. ;)

Originally (yesterday) I had it named it Partion 1, Partition 2 and Partition 3. Then today I removed the labels entirely and it still acted funny. Just now I popped in the card, ran GParted and noticed the 3rd partition was given the label SYSTEM during the previous non-functional installation, but the first 2 still had no label. My problem was the apps loading. I noticed the installation seemed longer and don't remember it saying: Optimizing SD-EXT or something to that effect, "installing Dropbox, installling Titanium" etc at the end of all that quickly passing text when I ran the Rom2SD install previously, but I'm so tired right now it might be something I'm just imagining.

All I can say now is that just the fact that I named them exactly like you named yours it now works brilliantly :highfive: and that "apps starting" part took a only a few seconds. It seems the installation, in my case at least, can't figure out that it needs to install the apps to 2nd partition without the label SD-EXT or more likely given the timing of failure, it just fails to load them from said partition.

To anyone reading this, just name your partitions like sbdags does, just to be on the safe side and you're likely naming them anyway, or if not, then it is 1 minute well spent.

I've wiped, installed, booted, setup, etc. on the wrong side of 20 times since yesterday morning and I'm almost in disbelief that it's actually working all of a sudden :victory: and so late that it's now bedtime and I'll have to wait till tomorrow to take the damn thing flyin' :(

Thanks dude :D
It's all the good people at xda like yourself that I think of and mention to friends and family as a shining example of hope for the future for the human race when experiencing or hearing about all the ****ty sides of human behaviour from crime to corrupt politicians, terrorists, bigots and just general lack of helpfulness and a willing spirit. It brings me a sense of hope :angel: I've grown quite cynical over the years, but xda is one of the things that keep me from becoming like the old dude in the animated movie Up. :silly:

When Asus (or Samsung etc.) lets you fall, it's comforting to know there's almost always someone here at xda to catch you before you hit the ground. :)

Good luck and good night fellow Gadgeteers! :D

I finished just in time to cuddle a bit with the missus before she falls asleep to try to make up for all the time I've been knee-deep in **** with my head stuck between the screen and the keyboard during any free-time in the last two days. :silly:

When Asus (or Samsung etc.) lets you fall, it's comforting to know there's almost always someone here at xda to catch you before you hit the ground. :)

Good luck and good night fellow Gadgeteers! :D

I finished just in time to cuddle a bit with the missus before she falls asleep to try to make up for all the time I've been knee-deep in **** with my head stuck between the screen and the keyboard during any free-time in the last two days. :silly:

Wow thanks for the kind words! :good: Hmmm.... not sure why labelling them works - I just called them whatever popped into my head......

For those of you missing the dock layouts for your language please flash this patch. It will install the necessary files so you can set the dock language in the Asus Keyboard which dictates what the dock should use ;)

Seems to be working fine and smooth. Not sure if Browser2Ram is already implemented as standard?

How much screentime is people getting? Seems like the battery drain is bigger, but I have to give more charge cycles before I jump to conclusions.

Great work!

Great work!

Yes b2r is implemented by default as are hunds kernel with extreme tweaks. This is why your battery life isn't great. This ROM is designed for the speed demons. It comes over clocked and over volted.

Search not working

Hi

I installed the rom yesterday and it's running great thanks! I am having one issue which I would like to be able to fix. When I select text by a long press on the screen the options show up to copy or search web but when I select search web it says Search Via - No apps can perform this action. Is there a app I can add that is missing to fix this?

Thanks

R.

    Credits to _that & Hundsbuah for the kernel and LetMeKnow for the kernel tweaks and elesbb for CROMi-Control

    Remember you must have a fast microSD card formatted with a fat32, ext4 for /data and ext4 for /system in GPARTED for Rom2sd.
    1. You need a fast microsd card - preferably at least a 16GB Class 10 - UHS-1 card like a sandisk or Samsung with a read speed of over 20MB/s
    2. You need to use Linux or how I did it a GParted ISO on a Bootable USB Stick on a PC ;)
    3. In GParted set up your micro sd with 3 partitions all primary (no logical) in this order FAT32, EXT4, EXT4
    They will be used as SDCARD, /data, /system in that order so I recommend the following sizes for a 16GB sdcard; 4GB for SDCard, 11GB for /data and 1GB for system or thereabouts.
    If you used a 32GB or 64GB card then increase the SDCard and /data partitions as you see fit (I went with 16GB, 47GB and 1GB on my 64GB card)
    4. The ROM now flashes the correct preinit script files to your normal system setup so as long as you have a _that or hunds based kernel it will detect your ROM2SD automatically ;)
    5. Install the ROM2SD version and let it finish. Let it reboot.
    6. You should be presented with a clean install setup wizard when it boots if it has worked. If it hasn't worked you will be back at your previous CROMi-X/miniC installation launcher.
    7. Job done - set up your ROM2SD however you like - it can't interfere with your normal setup ;)
    8. You will notice 2 folders on root - datai and sdcardi - these allow you to see your internal /datai and sdcardi partitions if you wish to copy files over ;)
    9. As long as the SDCard is inserted you will boot to ROM2SD, remove it (not whilst in android unless you want to crash) and on that boot you will switch back to your normal miniC or CROMi-X if you installed that to SD.

    If you want to backup and restore to your ROM2SD setup flash the following file first in TWRP as it shifts TWRP to see the microsd as internal. Flash it again to return back to internal. All credits to _that for that ;)

    Various Kernel Benchmarks

    Right benchmarks with various kernel options:

    All were taken on CROMi-X 5.1 Odex with default options at 240dpi unless otherwise stated (fsync off / on). I've used quadrant as most people understand the results - I know it's not the best and I did 3 tests each time and took the 3rd result.

    Stock - fsync on - 5672
    36lLrlI.jpg


    _that v4 - fsync off - 5981
    EZW240w.jpg


    _that v4 - fsync on + data2sd - 5745
    19iv7fd.jpg


    _thatv5 - fsync on - 6267
    QFhXhjl.jpg


    _that v5 - fsync off - 6414
    OAZDezM.jpg


    _that v5 - fsync on + data2sd - 6143
    OGbOUjA.jpg


    Hunds + ET - fsync on - 6684
    hyiyFZL.jpg


    Hunds + ET - fsync off - 7245
    yWx7v7G.jpg


    Hunds + ET - fsync on + data2sd - 6725
    Utll82Y.jpg


    Hunds - fsync off - 6805
    Lul8QTl.jpg


    Hunds - fsync on +data2sd - 6597
    TqPlv18.jpg


    So data2sd doesn't really offer that much if you keep fsync on. It does feel faster when loading large games and files. The issue is it is a bit more unstable and easier to corrupt the data partition if you have fsync off. Same risk with normal data I suppose but less likely to corrupt due to less sponteneous reboots.

    Is data2sd worth it? Only if you want to use your tablet whilst downloading large files or play store updates or you are prone to corruption with fsync off. Otherwise you can achieve at least the same speed with fsync off although with a risk to corrupt your data partition eventually.
