YOU MUST BE ON THE ASUS STOCK JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION ENDING IN 27.1 or 27.5 AND TWRP 2.6.3.2+ OR CWM 6.0.4.6+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM. SEE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU ARE UNSURE



You must do a full wipe in recovery if coming from another ROM base. Do not do a full wipe from the bootloader. Don't forget to do a Nandroid Backup first and give the ROM 10 mins to stabilise!

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

Steps

1. If you haven’t yet, unlock your TF300 by now following these instructions.

2. Install the latest version of Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) 2.6.3.2+ or ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6+ Note this ROM will NOT install with older versions of recovery!

Flashable zip being made .... :)

FLASHING THE ROM FROM RECOVERY

Steps

1. Download the ROM below and save to your internal or external SD Card. Do not unzip the file.

ZOMBi-X ROM DOWNLOAD
Note: The first boot after install will take 10 mins whilst everything is built. Some people might think it is looping but it is not

BOTH FILES ARE SIGNED. IF YOU ENABLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION IN RECOVERY IT WILL VALIDATE THE FILE BEFORE FLASHING.

Don't forget ROM2SD1.zip / DATA2SD1.zip first if you are not running an internal setup

[THREAD][APPS] [ASUS Apps][ CROMBi-kk & ZOMBi-kk]


ROM2SD/DATA2SD USERS PLEASE READ!

ROM2SD only works if you have ZOMBi-X, CROMBi-kk, CROMi-X or miniC flashed on internal with a THATv10+ kernel. Just choose ROM2SD in the installer of ZOMBi-X to flash it to ROM2SD and the installer will do the rest.

- Install ZOMBi-X and choose ROM2SD or DATA2SD install

The ROM2SD1.zip below is only needed if you need to switch your recovery to between normal and rom2sd mode. For Example you want to backup or restore a rom2sd installation. Flash once to go rom2sd and flash again to go back to normal. A reboot always puts you back to normal. Thanks to _that!

ROM2SD1.zip Download Mirror 1

ROM2SD1.zip Download Mirror 2

MD5 Sum: 7b699136d59ea3d5538570ccaf422acf

The DATA2SD1.zip below is only needed if you need to switch your recovery to between normal and data2sd mode. For Example you want to backup or restore a data2sd installation. Flash once to go data2sd and flash again to go back to normal. A reboot always puts you back to normal.

DATA2SD1.zip Download Mirror 1

DATA2SD1.zip Download Mirror 2

MD5 Sum: 9d5e9e2fd32593f981624499b37924b2

2. Boot to recovery – Either choose Boot to Recovery from the Power Menu if available on your current ROM or from the tablet power off hold the [volume down] button and press the [power] button. Once your see the flashing RCK icon, press [volume up] to select. If another icon is flashing use [volume down] to move between icons.

3. Using your recovery make a Nandroid Backup of your current setup

4. Select install and navigate to where you saved your ROM zip file.

5. Choose the ZOMBi-X zip file and follow the on screen prompts to customize your installation.

6. Reboot and enjoy.



Using GParted to setup a micro SD for ROM2SD or DATA2SD support

First and foremost - DO NOT USE MINI TOOL!

Formatting a micro sd card for ROM2SD
Note for DATA2SD just do one partition in stead of 2 ;)

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 (not needed for data2sd)



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 ZOMBi-X but this time choose the ROM2SD / DATA2SD option

twrp 2.8

Can I just use terminal to install twrp like "dd if=/sdcard/twrp28.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" before I install new zombi-x? I renamed file to twrp28.blob already.

differences between this and the crombi-kk?

how do you get the ES file explorer as pop up?
Click to expand...
Crombi-KK - Based on CyanogenMod sources

Zombi-X - Based on OmniRom sources and includes some OmniRom specific experimental features that aren't in official nightlies yet (like the floating windows)

If you want floating windows, I suggest activating the "OmniSwitch" app. With this app, if you long press on either the recent apps, or your favourite apps, it will give you the option to "float view"

It's beem much quieter here than i thought it would be..
I'm just wondering if it would be possible to get some actions on the nav bar for floating window mode. going in through omni switch each time a a bit of a pain. Maybe something like that have done on the katkiss rom?

I'd report more useful stuff like bugs if i had found any =)

Thanks @sbdags, @lj50036, and @hardslog ! You guys still actively working on this? I was wondering if the dock battery status bar indicator would be included in the future.
Click to expand...
Of course we are still working on it. We have just begun. Currently working out other kinks before we try to tackle the dock battery status bar indicator again. Already tried to implement it once but failed miserably.

I can't wait to try this one guys, do you have any idea when it will be out if beta?
Click to expand...
Nope, but it is mostly a beta because of unimplemented functionality that we want in the future and some very nit-picky things (we all have some form of OCD :laugh:)

Could always take a nandroid and give it a try :cyclops:
