THIS ROM IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ASUS PAD TF300T & TF300TG, PRIME TF201 AND THE ME301T PAD SMART 10

YOU MUST BE ON JB 4.2.1 WITH THE ASUS STOCK BOOTLOADER 10.6.1.8 AND TWRP patched 2.4.4.0 or BOOTLOADER 10.6.1.15.3, 10.6.1.27.1, 10.6.1.27.5 or 10.6.2.x and TWRP 2.5.0.0 BEFORE FLASHING THIS. THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO FLASH THE STOCK ASUS 10.6.1.27.5 or 10.6.2.x FIRMWARE.

Please go to the following thread to see instructions on how to meet these requirements:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recommend you do a full wipe if coming from another ROM. Choose Wipe – Factory in TWRP. Do not do a full wipe from the bootloader.

You can restore data from Titanium Backups but please do not restore system data or apps from a previous version or another ROM if you want a nice clean smooth upgrade experience.

Don't forget to do a Nandroid Backup first and give the ROM 10 mins to stabilise!

INSTALLING CROMi-X
If you followed the appropriate steps for your scenario above, you now have a compatible bootloader installed and a custom recovery such as TWRP.

Steps

1. Download the appropriate ROM package below and save to your internal or external SD Card. Do not unzip the file. Join the debate about which manner of packaging files is better (ODEX or DEODEX) or just use DEODEX since it allows for a bit more customization possibilities. ODEX may boot slightly faster but then again, it may only boot slightly faster the first time. Google ODEX vs DEODEX if you really want to understand.

During the install some features are listed as EXPERIMENTAL. I have left them as an option so you can play and enjoy debugging

Please let me know if you used the experimental features like Extreme Tweaks, Cache2SD, Overvolting, Undervolting. if you want a stable smooth experience flash _that's kernel, with fsync disabled and one of the normal WW or US editions.

If you are a speed freak and don't mind the odd bug go for hunds with experimental tweaks, software rendering disabled and GPU OC, CPU OV and GPU UV.

Cache2SD is very experimental and may cause other issues so I'll leave that one up to you

==================================================================================================

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

_thatv5 - fsync on - 6267

_that v5 - fsync off - 6414

_that v5 - fsync on + data2sd - 6143

Hunds + ET - fsync on - 6684

Hunds + ET - fsync off - 7245

Hunds + ET - fsync on + data2sd - 6725

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.

==================================================================================================

Using GParted to setup a micro SD for ROM2SD support

First and foremost - DO NOT USE MINI TOOL!

Formatting a micro sd card for ROM2SD

We will be using a GParted Live boot USB and a FAST good quality micro sd like a Sandisk or Samsung Class 10 - SDHC/SDXC UHS-1 card with read speed of at least 20MB/S. If you have a cheap chinese eBay card don't bother - they are not good enough.

You will also need a USB Stick with at least 1GB size. Note this process formats the USB disk so don't keep any important files on it. It will also wipe your micro sd so make sure you are prepared.

1. Go to the link below and download the GParted Live CD/USB/HD/PXE Bootable Image and save it somewhere you remember
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
2. Download Linux Live USB Creator and install it
http://www.linuxliveusb.com/

3. Fire up LiLi USB Creator:
a. Choose your USB key - I,e, the drive letter for your USB (not sd card)
b. Choose your GParted iso image for the source
c. Choose the check box to Format Key in FAT32 and hide files
d. Click the lightning bolt to create

4. Now you have a bootable disk you need to boot from it. You may need to alter you BIOS Settings on your PC to boot from a USB Stick but mine did it without messing.
5. Insert your micro SD card into an SD Card adapter and insert into PC
6. Boot into GParted

7. Choose Gparted Live <Enter>
8. Don’t touch keymap <Enter>
9. Languge <Enter>
10. Start Gparted Automatically
11. Change device to your micro sd )it will default to you hard disk - hda– mine is /dev/sdc

12. Delete all existing partitions

For a 64GB card: (resize as needed but /system doesn't need to be bigger than 1GB)
13. Create new, always select primary: do this 3 times.
14. FAT 32 : Size 16GB – this will be /dev/sdc1 in gparted and will be your sdcard for storage in Android
15. EXT4 : Size 42GB – this will be /dev/sdc2 in gparted and will be your /data partition in Android
16. EXT4 : Size 1GB – this will be /dev/sdc3 in gparted and will be your /system partition in Android

Apply, wait until it finishes and then reboot. Remember to remove the usb stick

*Images stolen from elsewhere as I couldn’t get it to save mine

Now you are ready to install ROM2SD. Note if you want to use DATA2SD then only do 2 partitions 1x FAT32 and 1x larger EXT4

Then reinstall CROMi-X but this time choose the ROM2SD option (currently option 3 on the kernel page)

Many thanks to paulsaz, MicAlter, tijsva, gts9999 and jaredmorgs who have all donated towards CROMi-X 5.0 in the last few days! Thank you so much guys! It means a lot and it's great to have your support. :good::good::good:

Hey mate twrp stayed at 0% 4 times but it worked the first time I didn't tick zip align, is that just bad luck?

It's never happened to me once. Which version of TWRP?

BTW try hitting where the back button is as I have heard this might push it along......

robgee789 · Aug 29, 2013

The normal 2.5.0.0 I've had it before but not 4 times but it's working fine without zip align but it's probably coincidence and if no one else gets the issue then we're all good but I thought I would let you so you can just keep an eye on it to see if anyone else gets it

Posted this in TF700 thread, might as well share here too

Okay, guys, if you are having any type of force close issue do the following to help us out.

1. FULLY WIPE YOUR DATA this means a factory reset. Get rid of all old app information. I full format is recommended but not always needed. Just a simple factory reset from recovery will suffice.

2. If after a full wipe of your data, and force closes are still happening. Simply install android terminal from the market. Then open it and enter the following:
HINT: \n is used to show a new line, meaning, whenever you see "\n" in the code snippet below, i want you to press the "return/enter" key

HINT: "<name of app>" in the following snippet is a placeholder for you to type the name of the app that is force closing for you

always surround it in quotes(") please

Code:

su\n

cd /sdcard\n

logcat -v time -d  > "<name of app>.txt"\n

exit\n

exit\n

Then with the newly generated .txt file found inside your /sdcard directory. Take them and upload them HERE This is my personal mediafire drop box. That way they will stay organized and i can look at them and further debug what the issue is

Hope you guys are loving CROMI 5.0!

I am working on some pretty cool mods for you guys, volume sync(when adjusting media volume from volume buttons, notification volume will adjust too), Lockscreen timeout delay (how long to stay on the lock screen before turning off your screen again), LockScreen lock delay(how long to wait after pressing the power button or the screen times out before showing the lockscreen) and some more that i have forgotten

Im glad you guys are enjoying our efforts

We really love hearing from you guys! BTW DONT HESITATE TO REQUEST CROMI CONTROL FEATURES

Nova Launcher keeps FC'ing. I fully wiped..
Twice now it still is giving (tablet becomes unusable) issues. Once I boot, post install. I can't install or logcat anything it's so bad.
First time was selecting what I would liked to of ran. The next run was a stock install as I could get to it. Withstanding the Nova addition.

The new look for the installer and boot is nice. Actually this is the first issue I have had installing cromi. Rolled back to 4.7 for now.

Try using a different launcher? Over in the tf700 thread they said if they used a different launcher then installed Nova via play store it worked.

It was more of a heads up for you devs, and other users. That there might be an issue with that particular app. Hence why I did the second stock (default settings,) install to make sure it was that specifically.

Thanks for the input. It makes it a little faster getting cromi5 installed. Now I don't have to whittle it down, to what does work with my tab.

If I have further issues past your advice. I'll try for a logcat for your use.
If you want, I can try and capture that Nova FC (post Aroma.) Though you might have to give me pointers how to do so. It happens right after I set up google, so I don't have any access to many tool within Android. Beyond that pesky FC dialog. So hitting the store and using a term would not be very useful. I do have fastboot/abd on my Windows lappy. (My Linux box is down right now.)

Normally, I just use a backup I have of it. Since this was a fresh cromi goodness. I wanted to test drive what the new version looked/acted like. The newer version doens't have much of what I need on paper so to speak. lol The included version in Aroma more so.. haha
So I just keep the one version and don't update it. I'm checking out a few of the new features/apps/kernels, before I settle in.
I know I like the new bootscreen.

So that stays.

There's a space in name of nova apk, I don't think Android like that ...
