[ROM]★★[JB 4.2.1][CROMi-Xenogenesis 5.0.2][ODEX/DEODEX 10.6.1.27.1][SEP 8]★★

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 FLASH AND 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
GParted -- Download
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)

Does the dock have to be attached to do this or is it OK without it? (went with 'yes' )

Unlocking was a breeze. Loaded goomanager then twrp using goomanager. (Still had to go to the playstore & download twrp. Not sure what happened there.) Boof head me wasn't rooted. Now have to downgrade from 10 to 8.

Now I'm waiting for the rom download to finish.

Still waiting. Mirror 1 failed twice with no resume. Now I'm on mirror 3 which has resume.

Slowly getting there.

All installed. Overall an easy way to go. Looking forward to getting to know my way around. Still did not figure out loading twrp using goomanager so I used the playstore.

This ROM is great, it has regained my fate in the TF700. I was sorely disapointed when I bought it,doing anything on it was a exersize in patience, and I was on the verge of just selling it of and go back to my iPad. But, I was convinced to try out a custom ROM, and went with Cromi-X 4.6 at the time. The difference is night and day, it's honestly very hard to belive it's the same hardware. with the new 5.0.2 it's still super stable and evern smoother than before. I was going to get the TF701, but currently I'm so satisfied with my old TF700 that I see no need for a upgrade.

I am unlocked with TWRP but not rooted. Do I need to downgrade my firmware and root or can I install the ROM from TWRP without rooting first?

Are you sure your not rooted? Download Root Checker from the PS to be sure.

CROMi-X CustomROM's are spectacular and its nice to hold the tablet that you expected when you bought it.

I started with v4.7.0 and upgraded to v5.0.2 and have never looked back, it is well worth giving up the warranty for what Xenogenesis gives you.
The best thing with CROMi-X is that you can go with total stability, pick and choose apps and still run way smoother than stock OR you can crank up the OC's OV's and all the tweakables and max out the benchmarks.

I believe the new _that v5 Kernel gives you the best of both worlds now adding OC'ing to his already rock solid _that v4 kernel. I just installed it choosing OC option 1518 so going to Warp Drive you just click Performance and hold on.

sbdags has put together an awesome team over on XDA and that certainly contributes to the quality of his ROM's and it great to see them over here on TransformerForums.

well I wasn't. I am now. I thought that the only way to root was to downgrade the firmware first, but I ended up just flashing the SuperSU zip and voila! I also flashd this Cromi ROM. the install was super easy, love the options (sure beats uninstalling apps after). so far so good. Looking forward to test driving it now.
