Settings tab forces close when accessing storage - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running AOKP JB Milestone 1 with TWRP recovery and KATKernel #56d_lidpatch on my TF101 (just for some background). I have just had a weird bug pop up where when I attempt to access the storage section in the settings it forces the settings to close. This happened right after I was having issues with the tablet being able to read the SD card in the dock. I do not recall this happening before, but to be completely honest, I might just never have tried to access this section before while using this particular ROM. I did a reboot and removed the tablet from the dock, but none of this seemed to help. While this is a minor inconvenience and not a huge deal, but I would still like to get this worked out. I have had zero issues with this ROM since flashing the KATKernel, so I am not sure what is going on. Any help or advice that anyone could give me would be great, thanks folks.

It happened to me with CM10 ROM, but fresh install of ROM did the trick...try it
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app

Yeah, it worked when I did a flash of the ROM without the KATKernel, but when I flashed the KATKernel the bug came back. Oh well, without the KATKernel the WiFi connection using the AOKP ROM is terrible (it usually drops every two minutes or so). With the KATKernel everything works beautifully...except for the ability to check the storage in the settings tab. I guess I'll just deal with that, it's a trade off that I am willing to make.

Use different ROM like CM10 or paranoid port...
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app

CM10 was the first ROM that I tried, I didn't like it. I really like the AOKP ROM and if this is my only issue then I am willing to deal with it and hope for a fix with the next update. This is the first time since getting the Tf101 that I have had almost no issues, so I guess I am willing to stick it out if there is currently no fix or kernel that will solve my problem.

[Q] paulburton ICS port

So great to see another update with many bug fixes, I notice one of them is better suspend outcome, in your known issues post you state:
"Sometimes wakes from suspend by itself (usually when suspending via the screen timeout)"
Does shutting off the screen manually still result in it occasionally waking too ?
Also Wifi, does that break no matter how it suspends, manually or timeout ?
Cheers
Yes and yes to both questions
Just it seems that the nvidia ventana drivers work quite well because the build is smoother than before
I'm impressed with this build, the setup is smoother, the gApps work for the most part, i am tinkering with SD card mount currently to see if I can fix it

Do we have a way to restore our App Backup's made with Honeycombs App Backup App yet ?
Yes, you can do it with titanium backup

Have you tried to reinstall the app on ICS yet? Alot of the apps that I have on HC usually run on ICS. I'm not sure if that particular one will install though. You may have to run it through a deodex, and try to install it via adb.
Did you find the workaround for the Wifi glitch stable?

up and running no problem, booted back into recovery fine, everything seems smooth. quite happy to run with this as i only use my tf for creating sigs and browsing the web / listening to music. Trying to find a screen capture app that works on this so i can show it off but the one i used took a capture and instead of the rom build details i got a recovery type screen but the writting was in green. kinda cool but obviously of no use lol
only question for me is: can future ics based roms just be flashed via recovery as normal?
i can jump back to h/c based roms from ics on my sgs2 via recovery no problems but im aware of hardware differences etc.
all apps from titanium backup running fine for me.

If you are already at ICS then yes, unless Paul or whomever decides that it's better to wipe first. Just remember, the TF doesn't flash the kernel (luna, spelling-- he he he) so you have to flash it separately to get back to HC. Otherwise a good nandroid should work just fine to return.

Youtube app just closes when i select a video to play. Youtube.com in browser with flash just freeze after it has buffered.
im wondering....since the xoom and galaxy tab both share many features as the tf101, and the xoom and gtab both have stable cm9 builds... would we be able to "steal" some parts from those roms and make a port or something?

Gtab is a completely different board. So no. Xoom has a bunch of different parts that require different drivers, so, no on that too, unless you want to bork your tablet.

Just depends on your taste. You might review other upgrade post stories first to be sure. Some are flawless, some not.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
THelook and feel of JB is for the most part similiar to ICS.
Their are some differences you will notice:
Animations: Some new and smooth animations that are nice. Animationa arre a minor thing but add a nice touch.
Project butter: My tablet does seem to run smoother and I have yet to have a wait/close prompt pop up. Of course I may get some, but so far it seem to have improved in that dept.
Google Now & search: This is what I wanted most. I really like the voice search, it really fast with returning answers. I wish I did a few more thens like open apps and tell me my next apointment when asked, bt I'm sure that will come with future updates. Google Now is prety neat and I'm interesting in seeing how it starts to work once I have had it a while and it can develop some patterns and give me info based off what it believes is relavent for me.
This is just an initial impression is I just updated last night and haven't really got much day to day expierance with JB, but so far so good. So far I don't really see the down side. You gain a few things and don't really lose much. Unless you have a particular app that dosen't play well wih JB yet.
Can't wait to get jellybean but I'll wait patiently for it

You can flash anything, doesn't mean you'll be successful. The current recoveries can't support this due to different boot and kernel mods. The guys are currently trying get a fix for those on OTA JB and all. I would say sit tight and wait for conformation that Twrp or cmw can backup and restore boot from diff firmwares. I tried this and got stuck at Asus logo and couldn't boot into os. But was able to get official JB back up. So now I'm stuck on JB for now.

Aosp rom data issue

I have an issue when I flash any Aosp rom. After initial install I have strong 4G but if I reboot phone for any reason I lose all data. My imei is there and phone number is there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
sounds like your on the fringe of strong lte coverage...the latest ril commits were suppose to help this. might try the latest pa or aokp build.
I'm on liquid rc5 right now and data is excellent. I haven't tried a reboot though. I'm wondering if it might make a difference if I reboot through recovery. Just a thought, maybe I'm just grabbing at straws, but this issue makes roms like paranoid kinda useless. Thanks for the reply.

i have been using paranoid since 2.13 and its been flawless when im in strong lte...never rebooted and lost data. if you toggle airplane mode on/off it wont come back?
Not sure, but I've never tried. I'm kinda new to this as this is my first rooted device, and im kinda learning as I go. I was on beans 13, then 14, but i can't resist trying out all these jb builds. I will give the airplane mode toggle a try. Thanks

I have the same issue with the new builds of JB ROMs. I do a clean wipe of everything and I flash the ROM, but when it boots in the beginning, I can sign into my gmail with data (even when I'm connected) and I have to use WiFi. Then when everything boots, I have no data and still connected to data (showing 3g) I do a reboot and it works for awhile and it goes out again. So I just went back to Beans14

I'm on liquid rc5 right now and everything seems to be working. But if I were to reboot my phone will not connect to data. The 4G icon pops up but never turns blue, and if I try Google Now or something else that requires a data it says no Internet connection. I have to be doing something wrong.?

Maybe shut the phone off, remove sim card, and turn on without the sim card then shut phone off and put sim card back and turn phone back on. That might help.

I've tried CM10.1 and CROMi-X, but went back to CM10.1. CROMi felt a little more laggy, and it didn't seem to work as well with the keyboard dock (minor things like the settings key didn't work, it wouldn't mount a USB drive, etc). I really do NOT being forced into the phone UI, so I'm looking forward to when Paranoid Android is ready for prime time.

CleanRom is fully stock everything works fine due to this fact, either you only tried it during its early stages of 4.2.1 update or used a not so good kernel. As for the lag you did you have the latest twrp installed and updated boot loader. A clean install of cromi-x will never produce lag.
I would suggest Max's kernel always as it has dynamic fsync(disabled when device is on and enabled when device is off) and security features to avoid data corruption. Max's kernel is the most smoothest kernel there is and battery life is amazing!! :good::good:
So another question... In trying to update my bootloader , it still shows the old one in my settings about phone.... Even after is says complete.. How can I be sure it's the correct new one?

There is no best rom/kernel combo, it is really up to you what you will prefer and what not, probably if you ask five different people you may get five different answers. Try many and then decide what suits you better.

[ROM][4.3][EXPERIMENTAL] CyanogenMod 10.2

*** This will be a one time build and post before nightlies start, so you can enjoy 10.2 for a bit until it goes live. ***
1. Make sure you are on the ASUS 4.2 bootloader
2. Make sure you are using TWRP 2.5 or greater or CWM 6.0.3.x
3. Download the ROM here md5: dfae3ea0caac535f15cdb2daea82c585
4. Download the 4.3 gapps here md5: c34cc1d0d8f7209feed07a6af308405e
5. Make a backup before proceeding, you are heading into experimental territory.
5. Install CM, then flash gapps.
6. Reboot
I won't be monitoring this much, as for bugs etc, so feel free to help each other here.
*** Please do not file bugs or report bugs, for both this ROM or against apps that may force close, etc to Play Store developers. ***
Known issue(s):
1. Can't install Chrome Beta from the market (due to some selinux whitelist issues)
2. Some apps are not up to snuff yet with 4.3, they crash.
3. You may need to re-install some of your Google Apps installed from the market if you don't wipe the tablet out.
4. Netflix doesn't play video in HD, it will continue to play sound and subtitles, but video will freeze at the last moment it was in SD resolution.
5. Secondary user profile issues.
6. You tell each other!
ENJOY!

thanks for reading.
So far other than some lag here and there this is strangely the best ROM I have used on this device
Was wondering when this was coming.
Thanks again for all the work to keep our tablets current and relevant!

I've flashed the 07-30 build, it's the same as in the op's link for the ROMS.
I tried all root apps that I have couldn't get superuser permissions in any.
But I didn't uninstalled them maybe that was why I had the problem.
Actually the ROM is very good for an experimental.

I cant wait to Flash this. Android 4.3's TRIM support should really help reduce the constant lag that often makes our Transformers completely unusable most of the time. Mine has been sitting at home running the boinic application for the past week as I cant even type out an email without the lag.

This is for you Titanium Backup users. I would not restore data, this is a new version of android.
For TiBu fix
Go: menu > preferences > backup folder location
Click: Detect > Whole Device
Change location to "/storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup"
(if you have no backups saved to SD, hit Back nav key until you can select this directory manually)
IF asked if you'd like to move files to new directory, select NO
You then can restore apps.
On TiBu's Twitter they released a beta which supposedly fixes inability to uninstall apps via TiBu, but I haven't tested this

You should try it yourself, make a backup in case that hdmi doesn't work but if it does you stay in Android 4.3.
I'm feeling it a little bit smoother than CM 10.1 not a single FC or random reboot on latest version.
