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
_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.
Uh,uh! First one! :cyclops:

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.

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
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
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!

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? ) 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
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!
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:

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!

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

Long story short, this is a Stock Toshiba ROM rom with a ton of tweaks applied. Yes I know, it's Froyo, but this rom is a good performer, can do almost everything and has the following plus points:
- All is in working condition, including SCO over bluetooth, IR Remote, Hardware Keys and so on
- Almost no SOD. I struggled a lot to achieve this result, but now I can say that this rom is behaving like any other Tegra tablet on the market. SODs are very rare here and the device sleeps like a child.... (As a side effect, you have to push the power button two or three times to make the device wake up)
- Easter Egg: Selecting Backup from the Privacy menu in Settings, the rom will reboot to recovery....
Feedbacks are welcome.
DISCLAIMER: This ROM comes with NO warranty. If you brick your device, don't blame me, I'm only experimenting with my phone and sharing the results with you, mates!
The widgets in the screenshots are SiMi Clock (clock & weather) and Android Pro Widgets (with modern ICS theme). They are NOT included in this ROM but they are available through the Google Play Store
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP your actual rom and your data before installing anything!!!!!!
- I assume you have CWM recovery installed on your tablet. If not, flash the CWM 3.0.28 recovery before installing this rom and format all the partitions if you are coming from CM10/JB roms
- Copy the file you have downloaded "as is" (don't try to extract the files contained in the .zip archive!) in the root directory of your SD Card.
- Boot in CWM, select "Install zip from SD Card", then choose the .zip archive you have previously copied and wait until the process ends.
- Reboot your device and enjoy your new rom.
- This rom installs CWM 3.0.28

P.S. This rom WIPES your SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE PARTITIONS!!!
KNOWN ISSUES:
-None so far. Sometimes some SD card make the system hang on boot, so remember to extract your SD card on reboot! (you can put it back in when the boot is finished...)

- Added ntfs r/w support via USB OTG Helper (see below notes for how to)
- Added preliminary 3G dongles support via PPP Wizard
- Added delayed execution for mount tweaks to avoid filesystem corruption if a SD card is left in the slot on reboot (you have now 60 secs of time to safely reboot if system hangs due to the forgotten SD card in the slot)

CM10 is not directly comparable: some people need a fully working rom (IR remote, SCO audio over bluetooth, etc.)
So, this rom is aimed to solve some problem for some kind of people.
On the "faster" point: are you sure?
You are comparing a 1.4 Ghz kernel with a stock 1.0 Ghz one, it's unfair.
This rom wins hands down in all speed tests only due to the OC kernel....but it is faster!

Here comes something I don't understand: if you did not test it, how can you write a review on it?

4. Added some useful functions.

All true, indeed, but nothing more besides what you can argue by reading the OP, huh?
Negative:
1. Android 2.2.
2. YouTube app is hard to use.
3. Text selection, copy&paste.
4. Status bar low functionality.
5. HD videos?(Don't remember)
6. SD card SOD.

1. Yeah, that's declared in the OP
2. YouTube has now the same inteface among Android releases....Try the included app!
3. A simple keyboard with cursor keys helps a lot here. I personally use Smart Keyboard Pro, but there is a wide choice on the Store
4. Elaborate, please....With j4velin Notification Toggle and Button Savior you have the same functionality of an ICS/JB/CM9/CM10 status bar....Try it, you'll be amazed!
5. HD Videos are working flawlessly (with the tegra 2 platform limitations, i.e. 1920x1080 only main [email protected] level HW decoding)
6. SOD what?
You could help improving CM10 on Folio 100, like adding new stuff and fixing minnor issues.:good:

All the roms I have built here on XDA are based on stock stable releases (or rock solid CM final releases) to grant users the maximum available compatibility and ease of use without bugs. This is not a rom for pioneers, it's a rom for people needing a solid performer. CM10 is now in experimental alpha stage (although I'd define it an advanced beta stage thanks to the great developers that are involved into the Folio100 CM10 project) but this is another story...

Yes, Topogigi can you not help DerArtem with the CM10 rom? Maybee you can add cornerstone on your rom and on the CM10 rom. This is a thing that a lot of peoples will see on our folio.
I agree, but all this useful info should be included in OP because:
1. Its based on FolioMod and you must write what new is incuded and fixed after that many years.
2. Android 2.2 is already fast on its own, increasing speed and adding tweaks is minnor.
3. Added apps didn't amazed me.
4. I'll test it for sure.
5. Include something "new" to your ROM, because it same FolioMod 1.4 just added nice effects.
I will post full feedback & continue your ROM.

1) This rom id not based on Foliomod, it's based on last Toshiba official release. Foliomod 1.4 has only the libraries from it.
2) Network Location does not work on FolioMod 1.4 (guess what? here it works....)
3) Initial Setup Wizard hangs on Foliomod 1.4, and it asks you to slide a keyboard out (our device has no physical keyboard) and here it works flawlessly
4) Google Play Services do not install on Foliomod 1.4 (mismatched signature of googleservicesframework.apk) and here it installs properly
5) You can't reboot to recovery in Foliomod 1.4 and here you can
6) No loop mount points here, while foliomod mounts the databases on a loop mount point for faster db access... but, guess what? In this rom you get the same database access speed without the risk of getting data losses if the device hangs unexpectedly
7) No CPU Spy support on Foliomod 1.4. This is the first Folio rom with CPU Spy support
8) No CIFS Support on Foliomod 1.4 while here you get CIFS and UTF-8 support
9) No TUN/TAP..............etc. etc.
10) No OC/UV...............etc. etc.
11) No enhanced deadline scheduler.................................etc. etc.
12) On Foliomod you have frequent unwanted screen wakeups while on this rom..............etc. etc.
13) On Foliomod you experiment network issues after wakeup while on this rom......etc. etc.
14) On Foliomod you experiment frequent SODs while....................etc. etc.
I can continue for a while on but frankly I am bored because ALL these infos are on the OP if someone takes care of reading it completely.
I called this rom Foliomod because I do respect all the efforts Dexter made for making this device a functional device. This does not mean I copied his rom only making it more attractive. You got the point now?
Regarding speed, I do not want to resemble Monsieue De La Palisse stating that a 1.4 Ghz Froyo rom is 1.4 times faster than a 1.0 Ghz Froyo rom, but you forced me to put that in evidence.
All added apps are in /data. If you don't like them, you can uninstall them with a few touches.
That's all, I'll answer other question if you will be so kind to test the rom for real. I put in it some weeks of hard work to reverse engineere, debug, code, patch and so on: testing it will cost you less than 1/2 hour, so.....

DerArtem and Nopy are very skilled developers, trust me. If they eventually will need help on a specific issue/bug/problem, I'll cooperate for sure. But I'm developing roms for 4 different devices ATM, and I have little if not less spare time to dedicate to another project. I'll actively support this rom for sure and I'll take care of feedbacks and suggestions. But this will cost me time and time is the real richness nowadays....
This is an excellent work Topogigi. Thank you for the time you spent there.:good:
I was convinced we could improve the stock rom but could not myself, especially lack of time and knowledge. I am glad that you have done.
(I speak here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655050&page=2)
I installed your rom from the alpha 4 CM10 with CWM 3.0.2.8, formatting partitions and flash file formatsd of DerArtem, but it did not work and I had no access to the SD card internally. I also lost access to recovery, I flashed using fastboot.
So I installed CM7 to unlock the internal sd (erase sd card in settings) and reinstalled TG FolioMod.
(To unlock the internal sd is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639690)
Improvements are superb with lots of good ideas. For the moment, I have not encountered any problems and the rom is very smooth, continuous testing and I installed some games well greedy and I joined your rom to work on our little Foliowiki.
Congratulations and sorry for my English.
Thank you for all the information and explanations. Will keep this ROM in mind.
Hi,
my ext sd card is not working
there are known problems?
how I could get them back to work?

No known issue about external SD, besides the caveat contained in the OP
Try this way:
1) copy all the contents of the SD card on a PC
2) format it with FAT option
3) Put the SD card back into the Folio and check if it's correctly recognized
4a) If the SD card is recognized, restore all the content from the PC
4b) If the SD card is not recognized, please try with another: if the new one is not recognized you have a faulty SD card slot on your Folio.
Please report if the above solution solves your problem.

[ROM]★★[JB 4.2.1][CROMi-X 5.4][DATA2SD/ROM2SD | ODEX/DEODEX 10.6.1.27.5][FEB 22]★★
TF700 USERS: YOU MUST BE ON THE ASUS STOCK JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.14.x AND TWRP 2.5.0.0+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM. SEE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU ARE UNSURE
If you have a different ASUS tablet, please look at this thread to see if there is a compatible version of this ROM.
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!

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
Start by choosing the scenario below which reflects how your tablet is currently configured.
Scenario One
Factory Stock Android Operating System & Bootloader (Asus 10.6.1.x)
Steps
1. If you haven’t yet, unlock and root your TF700 by following these instructions.
2. Install the latest version of Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) - TWRP XDA Thread
Download and install the Scott's TF700T Recovery Install Tool. Once downloaded, extract the files on your Windows PC, connect your tablet to the computer and run the Recovery Install Tool.bat file.
3. Skip Scenario Two and Jump to the Installing CROMi-X section.
Scenario Two
Custom recovery such as TWRP or Clockworkmod installed with a Custom ROM package
Steps
1. Update your bootloader to the latest one for your device by flashing from your existing custom recovery and then choose reboot from the menu.
Please don't flash these at the same time as a ROM package as the latter will cancel the bootloader/TWRP flash.

IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 1 MINUTE TO MOVE THE BLUE BAR TO FULL. DON'T PANIC AND DON'T INTERRUPT IT!
After the blue bar fills your device will reboot back into your normal ROM but you will be on the new bootloader and have TWRP installed
2. Next Step, please go to the Installing CROMi-X section.
Scenario Three
I'm upgrading from CROMi-X 4.x.
Steps
1. Congratulations. Jump directly to the Installing CROMi-X section.
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.

About Fsync
Explanation by _that:
About the Experimental Features
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)

You could go to your build.prop and change it from there if you want... However, if we can access from the cromi control, it would be a lot better..
18G921858U986341Y - great work again...and again...and again... Thank you.
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:
My first flash attempt failed. I downloaded from a different mirror and everything went fine. Upon reboot I had a persistent nova launcher fail. I was going to uninstall then reinstall nova launcher but it is installed is a system app. This probably a conflict the two versions of nova launcher. I'm going to reflash and opt out of nova launcher.

Will test this new version!

I did include the latest version of nova. How do they manage the pro version? Is it an additional file or a new apk? If the latter that might have caused the issue?

They plan to release but who knows when? Maybe after the new infinity pad comes out in Sep/Oct?
For data2sd is it working directly from the installer, or there is a need to follow also the data2sd thread and partioning of the SD card.
Do we lose anything on the card itself by trying this option?

I did include the latest version of nova. How do they manage the pro version? Is it an additional file or a new apk? If the latter that might have caused the issue?
What is the advantage to take the app within the installer vs installing it from the store. Is it to have the pro version without paying for it? Otherwise it seems better to go through the store to avoid conflicts right?

You need to follow the data2sd thread instructions to partition the card in gparted. You will lose all your current data although it is still there technically as now the tab sees an empty data partition so you will have to set up from scratch again.
I will have to try this ROM loved the cromi Roms of the past but moved on to the 4.3 Roms as of lately

ROM2SD/DATA2SD USERS PLEASE READ!
ROM2SD only works if you have CROMBi-kk, CROMi-X or miniC flashed on internal with a THATv10+ kernel. Just choose ROM2SD in the installer of CROMBi-kk to flash it to ROM2SD and the installer will do the rest.
- Install CROMBi-kk 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!

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 CROMBi-kk 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 CROMBi-kk but this time choose the ROM2SD / DATA2SD option
Reserved
BIG RED WARNING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE MISSING ROOT!
You are not. The way CM11 works is root is not enabled by default after a clean install. Here is how you enable it.
1. Enable developer options by clicking the build number 7 times in settings - about tablet
2. Go to developer settings
3. In the first section click Root access and change to Apps and ADB
Enjoy your rooted rom

Nice, looking forward to it, this will be my first CM rom on this bad boy!!
You are all fantastic that made this possible. Wooow will gonna try this out for sure.
Just setting up uploads for post 2 - bear with me please
In case anyone wants to try it ... in the download section of this ROM you'll also find an unofficial pre-release of TWRP 2.7 compiled by me (2.6.3-that3) that supports both JB and KK ZIPs. I can't say anything about its quality, but the devs of this ROM have tested it. The GUI is much more fluid than in earlier versions.
Note: lj said that formatting data with this recovery takes a very long time (in the order of 1-2 hours) - be patient. It is not only formatting your data, it also trims unused blocks afterwards, and you know our internal storage is not the fastest... but the advantage is that in normal use it will then find enough empty flash blocks so writes will be faster.
Downloads are up - go crazy! :fingers-crossed:
Ok, installed it affer Wipe Data/Factory reset. Upon booting keep getting this message "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped". I dont have catlog installed yet, but what info do you need, I am assuming a logcat.

Yes a logcat is what we need... If you have any quetions about pulling a logcat we can talk about that in the Q&A section for sure... Thx lj
If you would like to give the recovery in the download section a try that wold be great to.. Just read the FAQ in the Q&A section...
I unsuccessfully tried to install CROMBi-KK as ROM2SD.
Just the facts:
CROMi-X 5.4 on internal
TWRP 2.6.3.1
Flashed rom2sd1 and formatted /data on the external.
Rebooted to internal system
Rebooted into TWRP
Flashed CROMBi-KK as rom2sd with the modified _that v8 kernel.
Installation seemed to go ok - did not notice anything unusual (as in: it taking way long or finishing under a minute etc.)
Back to home in TWRP and flashed rom2sd1 as per instructions although I was wondering:
The Aroma installer changes the mount points so TWRP can flash to the external partitions, right? And the mount points get reset to normal when you reboot or flash rom2sd1 again, right? So if you flash gapps right after the rom flash - why flash rom2sd1? Wouldn't that change the mount points to the internal again????
Anyway, I flashed gapps after flashing rom2sd1 and it failed: Got a warning like: "This package is only for KK roms...." - so I kinda suspect I turned TWRP towards internal with that rom2sd1 flash.....
Ok, I thought, I'll flash gapps later. Rebooted system and got to the preinit script starting. Next thing is a blank screen - nothing happening for 10 minutes. No boot animation, no nothing.
Attached the tab to PC, tried to run a logcat in adb, but got no connection.
Long pressed power and took the card out when it rebooted to boot the internal.
Got to preinit starting, next is a blank screen - nothing happening at all.
TWRP log is attached
I would try it again with another kernel, but it's getting late. I'm leaving for a two week work trip tomorrow and will not take the TF700. The TF701 is going to get road tested ... and then unlocked - finally!
Maybe it's a fluke, maybe it's the card (although CM10.2 was running fine on it) - I'm sure you guys have it all worked out when I try the next time.
Exciting times again! Almost wrote: on this forum. But actually the different CROMi threads should have their own section - would save us a lot of back and forth! LOL
BTW, much fun with trying to separate Q&A and dev sections - this crowd is used to hang out in the CROMi threads and the community aspect of it should not be underestimated. I understand why you'd like to keep it separate, but I'm afraid the policing necessary to enforce it would change the "atmosphere" around here quite a bit.
Agreed mate. The policing will get tiresome but it will help whilst Dev is necessary.
So onto your problem with rom2sd.
I built the rom2sd1 zip script into the installer and call it twice once at the start so it installs to SD and again at the end to revert back to normal.
I didn't want the user left thinking one thing but the ROM forcing another.
But you just gave me an idea of how the gapps package can auto detect which one it should use
BTW, I flashed the rom2sd version many times and it does work. Pm me when you get up and I'll talk you through it.

Have flashed _that recovery, wiped top four options SD, flashed ROM2SD, rebooted recovery, flashed ROM2SD1, installed gapps, waited 20 minutes with boot animation. Not loading. Restored backup. All good. Think it's looping.

Can you provide a logcat of the bootloop please. Search for how to do a logcat over adb if you are unsure. :good:

Yes for some people it seems the installer is not managing rom2sd properly. I'll have a look later.
All the people that had this problem can you
a) tell me the recovery you are using
b) provide the aroma log from the end of the ROM flash please.
Thank you!
What more can you tell us about TWRP 2.6.3-that3? Is this unique to installing your CROMBi-kk or can we use it on any Rom that installs on the TF700? So if I already have TWRP 2.6.3.1 installed, do I need to flash TWRP 2.6.3-that3 first or just press on with what is installed. Is there a thread or change log for TWRP 2.6.3-that3?
Thanks

2.6.3.1 should be fine. That's is a fixed up version of 2.6.3.x or are 2.7 release I think. No changelog avail the moment but I know they implemented his fixes into official 2.7 which is coming soon I believe.

Download the recovery file from above, put it into the same folder where you have adb and fastboot files. Please rename it to twrp.blob or cwm.img and follow the instructions below:
CWM:
Connect your transformer to your PC, reboot to the bootloader to enable fastboot by either holding down [power] and [volume down] or opening a command prompt in your adb.exe folder in windows:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
To flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery cwm.img
or
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
A blue bar will go accross the screen on the tab and the command prompt will indicate it was successful in about 10 seconds
Then reboot the tablet either back to the bootloader or to android to complete
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
You can now access the recovery by pushing [volume up] on the RCK icon in the bootloader screen

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!

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

How does this compare performance wise to cm11? Is it mostly different features, or does one handle the io issues better? Thanks for continued work on this device!
Hi all,
I really want to test it out AND... i like the codename :good::highfive::silly:
Across how many Transformer Pad models is it / will be available ? TF700T for sure... TF300T ? TF701T ?
Huge thanks to the DEV team and congratulations for your very hard and unvaluable work,

For now it will most likely just be the 700 & 300 which will mostly work for the 201 on the hairybean bootloader ...
I am looking into the 701 and have started the port but there are some issue with the vendor blobs ..
One day at a time ...
Thx Josh
Just curious, but why create a new ROM from another base? Is OMNI better than CyanogenMod? If so, in what way?
Thx...Scott

IMO it runs faster and smoother But other s have a very good experience with CM11 as well. I would say it is no as stable as CM11 though - hence the BETA name. It is quite different as well - floating windows, etc.
Cool!
Hi,
Thanks for this ROM. I recall a discussion I had with a friend about OmniROM vs. Cyanogenmon (an idea with a simple google search...). First impression is that is really smoother in my opinion and I really like the toggle view in the performance in settings! So, clean install with f2fs internal, _that's kernel and usual settings from crombi-kk. just one question , will the profile chooser be available or I am too blind too find it?
Anyway, I am impressed of your work and wanted more to say thanks rather asking a question.
Regards.

In for more reviews on this one, just updated to the latest crombi-kk and ROM2SD last night, runs pretty well, but will go to the ZOMBI if its snappier.

A question - couldn't find it in OP - if I am currently running Crombi-KK (Aug 10) with F2FS ROM2SD - do I need to do a clean install of Zombi or can I flash directly - same as an update to Crombi-KK?
Wanna give this new ROM a try and see if there is fact an improvement - my ROM2SD install of Crombi-KK works so well now - no glitches and runs like a champ.
Thanks to all the devs for their hard work!

Hey, what options for tweaks do you use? Ive only done the disable fsync. Curious if the gpu ones or others work better. Im also doing browswer to sd

I would highly recommend a full wipe as they use diff vendor blobs....
If you do dirty flash and have issues, you know what we are going to say to do...
So I leave it to you, but if you do find out things along the way let us know .. :highfive:
Thx Josh

Well as I wrote I did a clean install but in internal using f2fs. Latest TWRP, a factory reset and advanced format as I wasn't sure if DATA had f2fs format because of the twrp's bug of not showing it right. Using Titanium Back Up I restored the preferred app+data. But I see there is not adaptive backlight choice plus the profile for the cpu frequencies but overall for a beta I am really impressed. I suggest with a nandroid backup and TBU you should give it a try!
Good luck.
EDIT:
Clean installation for me is mandatory of not having issues when changing ROMs.. Josh was faster!

Just like Josh I nuse them all including both GPU tweaks and pretty much all of the others (zip-align etc.)
The setup works flawlessly.
I will try a dirty-flash just to see what happens (I'm a masochist I guess and I may learn a few things and share with the community :sly: .
Ok so here's probably a dumb question. Im running ROM2SD now with the correct partitioning. If I want to clean install, how do I do the equivalent of "factory wipe" on the SD card? Previously I would just click factory wipe and then install the rom, im guessing now that its on SD i have to do something different...
Does this have a theme engine, to use an L based theme for example? Thanks
We dug up the famous CROMi-X by @sbdags, dusted it off, pruned and tweaked it here and there and then slapped some paint on it.
Credits for the original ROM go to @sbdags, @_that, @Hundsbuah, @lj50036, @hardslog and everybody else who contributed and is credited in the original ROM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
@LetMeKnow has been (off and on) tweaking kernel and other settings in CROMi-X for the last 2 years, tirelessly looking for the sweet spot. The result is impressive IMHO
My contributions are mainly: Talking LMK into this project, some technical grunt work and putting this OP together.
This Is For You If:
You actually liked the Asus UI and miss it (nav buttons on the left anyone?)
You're tired of chasing the latest and greatest and want a ROM specifically designed for our hardware. Even it is JB 4.2
You are nostalgic for the "good ol' days"
Pre-Requisites:
The latest 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader. Grab it here if you don't have it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55238386&postcount=3
The latest TWRP 2.8.x - We highly recommend lj50036/area51 Kang TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...overy-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3049395
A working knowledge of flashing in fastboot or recovery. If you don't have it start reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
What's The Difference To The Original CROMi-X?
This rom is only for the TF700. Device specific files for the TF300, TF201 etc have been removed from the rom zip.
LetMeKnow added various kernel and settings tweaks (see post # 2)
fat32 and exFAT on the microSD is supported
No support for data2sd/rom2sd at this time (data2sd may come later, rom2sd.... I doubt it)
A major difference: CROMi-X Resurrected supports the f2fs file system. Here's some background on the benefits of f2fs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS
But trust me on this: It makes a difference in performance.
CROMi-X Resurrected comes with only one kernel (based on Hundsbuah's), but in 3 variations:
Kernel 1 supports ONLY data & cache on ext4
Kernel 2 supports ONLY data f2fs / cache ext4
Kernel 3 supports ONLY data & cache f2fs
On this rom you will have to keep track of which file system you have on which partition and run the corresponding kernel. If you flash it and the rom does not boot, the most likely reason is that you flashed the wrong kernel for the file systems you chose.
How do you check which partition is on what file system? Glad you asked....
In Terminal Emulator or adb shell or the terminal in TWRP run:
Code:
mount
About half-way down in the output you'll find the details on /system, /cache and /data
On this ROM:
/system is always ext4. Since it is read-only in normal operation f2fs makes no sense
/data can be ext4 or f2fs, we highly recommend you run it on f2fs
/cache can be ext4 or f2fs. Your choice - opinions differ on this matter.Some say /cache on f2fs is pointless because the partition hardly (if ever) gets any write operations.
LetMeKnow's opinion: It does improve performance somewhat and if it doesn't - who cares....
It certainly does not hurt to have /cache on f2fs.
Installation Instructions:
For the initial installation a full format of /data in TWRP is highly recommended. If you want to chance it with just a wipe - go ahead, but don't blame us if the resulting ROM lacks the wow-factor or does not boot at all.
Note: Formatting /data in TWRP 2.8.x takes upwards of 60 minutes and formats /data to ext4. Do not interrupt it!
Then:
Load the ROM zip on a microSD, enter TWRP, flash it and follow the prompts in the Aroma installer.
Yeah, it's that complicated :cyclops:
There is no need to change file systems on /data or /cache prior to the ROM flash. We build this into Aroma.
You will have 4 options during installation:
1) both /data and /cache get formatted to ext4 (which is what they "normally" are)
2) only /data formatted to f2fs, /cache formatted ext4
3) both /data and /cache get formatted to f2fs
4) no partition gets formatted (for dirty flashing and keeping the existing file system configuration)
On the following page in Aroma you will choose the appropriate kernel for the file system combo you selected.
PLEASE make sure that you select the correct kernel! I made it clear as can be in Aroma. It's up to you to actually read and pay attention!!!
More Installation Options In Aroma
Select any Asus apps you would like to have, but select only those Gapps you absolutely need to have right after first boot. Instead, install Google apps from the Play Store later.
The reason for this: If you choose them in Aroma they get installed to /system, but you want them on /data to take maximum advantage of the improved performance on f2fs.
Browser - Browser2RAM
The rom comes packed with the stock browser and LMK's own version of Browser2RAM (B2R) which is optimized for the stock browser and the stock browser only!
If you want to run any other browser select the B2R option in Aroma. That will install sbdags version of B2R which works with a dozen different browsers (including the stock browser but not optimized for it).
If you plan to use only the stock browser do not select that option.
Post-Installation Tweaks:
Turn off automatic updates in the Play Store settings
Set Animation and Transitions to 0.5 or lower in Developer options
In Settings > Wi-Fi, Advanced Wi-Fi, set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "only when plugged in" and uncheck "Wi-Fi optimization"
Stock browser advanced settings: Uncheck "Fast Scroller" and "Dim the screen while website loads"
Asus customized settings: Disable "Smart Backlight adjuster"
Hints And Tips
A reminder: The ROM boots by default with the JB 4.1 Asus UI (nav buttons to the left, Asus quick settings panel in the lower right). If you want the JB 4.2 UI (nav buttons in the middle, quick settings panel from top right, notifications top left) go to Settings > Launcher > select it and reboot
Dirty Flashing/Changing Kernels
If you want to reflash the ROM with the same file system/kernel combo and only change app selection or tweaks: Select "Do not format partitions" and "Do not flash a kernel" in Aroma.
If you want to change only the file system on /cache without also formatting /data (which would wipe your apps, settings and personal files):
Enter TWRP > Wipe > Advanced > check "Cache" > Repair or Change File System > Change File Systems > choose the file system you want and swipe the button.
Go back to TWRP Home, choose Install and flash the ROM. In Aroma choose "Do not format partitions" and then select the appropriate kernel for your new file system combo

This is a short list of LetMeKnow's ET Tweaks:
My tweaks default setting:
Code:
PowerSaving mode : GPU @ 520MHz and CPU @ 1.2GHz (cpu1.sh)
Balance mode : GPU @ 650MHz and CPU @ 1.4GHz (cpu2.sh)
Performance mode : GPU @ 700MHz and CPU @ 1.8GHz (cpu3.sh)
Go here and change them yourselves with a reboot: "/system/ect/cpu1.sh" and change these settings in the "cpu1.sh". Repeat for others two modes. Look for these two lines:
GPU settings and changing:
GPU mV:
Code:
mV: 800 875 920 985 1042 1088 1135 1185 1290 1350 1410 (mV)
Freq: 200 267 304 361 408 446 484 520 600 650 700 (MHz)
Code:
logi "echo [COLOR="Red"]1350[/COLOR] > core_cap_level"
echo [COLOR="Red"]1350[/COLOR] > /sys/kernel/tegra_cap/core_cap_level
Change "1350" to "1185" for 520MHz or "1290" for 600MHz.
CPU settings and changing: The unit is in (KHz)
CPU mV:
Code:
mV: 200 300 420 485 510 540 575 620 650 690 740 795 860 895 930 975 1025 1075 1125 1180 1240 1300 1380 (mV)

You need to update the Red frequencies to a desired frequencies that you prefer and save it with a reboot.
Change the DPI:
DPI available for the Cromi-X: 136, 148, 160, 180, 200, 213, 224, 240
1. Go here: /system/build.prop and open the build.prop file in the edited mode with the rooted file explorer.
2. Look for this line "ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx" and change it to "ro.sf.lcd_density=new-DPI". You need to pick a desired DPI that you prefer.
3. Save your build.prop and reboot. Your DPI should be updated after the reboot.
That is all I have right now and have fun...
Notes on latest ROM version:
CROMi-X-ET-v.3.0-RC2:
If RC 2 is the first time you install this rom, just follow the instructions in the OP.
RC2 is basically RC1 + the latest performance patch by LMK
If you are already on RC 1 you can just flash the correct performance patch for your file system configuration, wipe cache and Dalvik and you're done. The patch is available in the Downloads section (one zip contains both patches) or from post # 77.
You can also dirty flash RC 2 - just remember to choose to not format any partitions in Aroma, and then select the correct kernel for your file system configuration.
If you had sudden reboot issues on RC 1:
1. In Settings go to Apps, swipe to All
2. Select the apps/games which caused the random reboot issue and ONLY click on the "Clear cache"
3. Do this for all apps/games which caused the reboot
4. When you are done, you need to reboot the device to complete the process. Please note that your device is going to be a little slow at first but it will improve the performance after a few minutes of usage
Congratulations on your first ROM release! :good:

Nice.
An oldie but a goodie hehe
Please excuse my noobish question. When formating the internal or ext sd card should I put any user file or data on another device (pc) for safe keping until after formating and flashing the rom? When moving the user files and data back to the f2s formated cards do I need to do anything special.

Thanks for your thought.... However, I am totally broke so I don't have money to buy it...
Any way, I did not do much in this release except for sharing my settings with others users.... The ROM is developed by @sbdags and the kernel is developed by @Hundsbuah. The repacked ROM is done by @berndblb. My tweaks are focused on the I/O optimization for R/W. I just found a balance for those read/write setting. The f2fs is a big help in this area. I think that is it, hahaha.....
Thanks,
LMK

Do you mean your /media partition? Your media should be either in Fat32 or exfat format.... I would recommend the exfat for your /media filesystem because it seems like it has a better performance in the write speed. These are the settings when you format your /media: exfat filesystem and "Allocation unit size" should be 128 kilobytes or 256 kilobytes. Please report back if you see improvement when you copy files to your media on your external uSD.....
Edit: For your internal SD or /media, you must move all your files to your PC because when you install the ROM, it will format your /data partition including your /media. When you are done with your installation, you can move it back to your internal /media but I would recommend you keep all your personal files on your external uSD....
Cheers,

For some reasons, it is duplicated so I delete the contents of this post....
Well done and welcome guys! I might just have to try this!

We are more than happy to hear a feedback from you. We hope that we did not screw it up so bad from your original Cromi-X v5.4, haha.....

The point is, since /data/media is in the same filesystem as /data, it can't be formatted separately.

I can't. He owns it already. I'm just holding that space for his next good ideas...
His posts are not hard to find. Hit the thanks button to your hearts content... All goes into the same pot...

Oh c'mon ! Maybe she's a granny, but dinosaur? A little harsh... ?
Good job guys! Installation was as painless as I've ever seen. Having Aroma do the FS changes was a stroke of genius, who do I thank for that? ROM boots FAST. Does seem like forever to shut down though. More next week after I find out how the new TF owner likes it!
Hi everyone ! I can't download the rom via Xda-Developers, the download is very slow and after a few minutes the download stops (Network error).
Can you Upload it on AndroidFileHost (or mega...) ? Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english
This ROM is running wonderfully on my tf700t with a couple exceptions. I'm using plex and if I use the HDMI out with fullscreen video it will sometimes freeze the tablet when paused for too long. With plex fullscreen video & not using hdmi out it will sometimes artifact the display, freeze, & reboot.
