[ROM][TF300T/TF300TG/ME301T][4.2.1][GRIMLOCK_V2.2][Nov 29 2013]

[hardslog]

What CROMI mod are you talking about? I would avoid that for now, as on of the issues with 4.2 roms not working well on TG's was because SystemUI kept crashing

Here are examples

Yea I wouldn't touch those yet, but hopefully in the near future.

Just installed this on my TF300TG and it feels pretty smooth sofar. Haven't run into any issues yet, so good work!

Any chance of adding some overclocking love to your kernel?

 

[hardslog]

Not sure about the OC, as I'm not familiar with kernel development, plus there are higher priorities than that right now.

Keep your eyes peeled for a new version, one that is deodexed and stripped out bloatware.

 

[RagingHarry]

Deodexed :good: like that...............

 

[mhoa]

link dead ?

 

[hardslog]

Sorry folks, it seems my hosting website has gone awol. I'm uploading a mirror right now but it won't be up for a bit. If someone else wants to mirror it in the meantime feel free.

 

[RagingHarry]

Uploaded it to my personal site, so the GrimLock 1.0 will be available here...... untill there is a official link working again.

 

[hardslog]

Thanks RagingHarry for helping everyone out. The original links are up now as well I will keep my mirror there for the time being as well.

Early this week I plan to have an update as well.

Can someone tell me if version 2.5.0.0 (for TF300TG) is compatible with the 4.2.1 update? I did not update my tablet to 4.2.1 because I am afraid I would brick it. This is the reason I did not try any of the custom ROMs based on the latest update.

 

[hardslog]

Update - Version 1.1

Changelog:

-deodexed entire rom
-debloated a lot of stuff
-threw in a few more tweaks for good measure

Please see the OP download link. I suggest a full wipe before updating to this one.

I'm assuming you're talking recovery here TWRP? Use the file for the T named 2.5.0.0 T (4.2)...

GRIMLOCK_TG_V1.0 Size 444,341 mb
GRIMLOCK_TG_V1.1 Size 298.62 mb

I,m true ?

or please share MD5 to compare

Thx for a good Rom

Yes, I am talking about recovery. There is no -42 version for the TF300TG yet, but I've read here that 2.5.0.0 can be used with this ROM, which is based in the 4.2.1 update. Is it really safe to use TWRP 2.5.0.0 for the TF300TG?

 

[Moe5508]

Please read my response above very carefully - the answer you want is there and not sure how much assurance you want. Most of us here running the TG have basically used the method/file mentioned here to get recovery on our devices:

Thank you for all your answers, I think I will wait

 

[Moe5508]

Cool. You're welcome. Absolutely, if unsure, please don't do anything you're not comfortable with

GRIMLOCK_TG_V1.0 Size 444,341 mb
GRIMLOCK_TG_V1.1 Size 298.62 mb
...

The first is still ODEXED (and has 2 files of the same app...well roughly almost) and the second one as it says is DEODEXED (with most bloat removed so yes that file size sounds about right)...

Has anyone come from CROMi and using this rom?

Can you notice any performance increases?

Thinking I might give it a try.

 

[MrMagic]

I came from CROMi 4.5 to this one (dirty flashed) and I must say this one feels faster. But I have a TF300TG and CROMi 4.5 wasn't really optimized for it. Perhaps 4.6.1 is better.

On Grimlock I did change the LMK values using Autokiller Memory Optimizer because the ROM started to lag after some time. After setting LMK to Optimum that problem was gone. I also added the CrossBreeder patch to it and the ROM really flies now.

I'll give those MOD's a try. Thanks.
