I also can confirm johanm74 and DK5 statements.

Many thanks [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] for bringing us 4.4.2!!!

Its great to have a up to date SL101. Never thought that could happen.

I was on 4.1.2 and I hated the non rotation of the screen. Now it's working again :D

Once again thanks! (can't say it often enough)

Hello DK5,

"Everything else works like a charm!"

Could you mount any USB key with this ROM ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sziehr:
I flashed the T2 zip, and no physical KB working for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Minikefala:
T2

I also flashed the T2 rom. I am not getting the physical keyboard or the software keyboard working. Everything else seems great though! I'm glad some people are maintaining an interest for this model. Keep up the work guys!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goggle81:
Just deactivate the physical keyboard in settings and software keyboard should work)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Minikefala:
Software Keyboard

I can confirm that deactivating the physical keyboard allows the software keyboard to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] conexs:
Hi everyone,

I tried both t1 and t2 version and i must say i prefer to keep t1 for everyday use until a perfect version is out. Why ?

1. Because I'm always* able to use the

physical keyboard

and I don't have to play with OFF and ON setting... just always keep it set to OFF position!

2. You won't be annoyed by the virtual keyboard unless you Touch the screen!

* When you close the slider, the physical keyboard goes into sleep mode, Right ?!!

Tip :

- Re-Open the slider,

- Press the power button OFF and ON again (Lockscreen shows up),

- Let the lock screen shut the screen down then get into sleep mode,

- Hit a physical keyboard key...

- See the physical keyboard works again !!!! :cowboy:

Easy as abc no !!!

Again thanks to everyone who's contributing in keeping our old SL101 ALIVE :o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timduru:
ok, thanks for the tests :)

Good to hear it's somewhat useable :)

Bad news is that looking at the logs, it seems there might be multiple issues,

that doesn't really make it easy to find.

One of the issue might definitely be coming from the sleep code in the kernel.

It seems that sometime asusec is dead.

Let's see if using an older kernel could help: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/sl101/misc/Kernel-SL101-t1.zip

try to flash that after the rom, see if that makes a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johanm74:
Hi,

Thank you for the effort.

After flashing the Kernel evething is the same exept the 10 sec. standby trick does not work anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timduru:
ok, urgh, so it's the 'bug' that prevents it to read asusec ram that might make the workaround work.... ;)

more headache ahead...

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

ok, test this one: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/sl101/misc/Kernel-SL101-t2.zip

it's trying to force the keyboard open at all time.

Boot rom with keyboard open, see if it works.

if not grab a kmsg only
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johanm74:
Hi,

I will now try the t2 rom with the t2 kernel after a complete wipe.

Edit:

No luck again. :(

After rom and kernel install with slider opened the physical keyboard worked. After a close and reopen the keyboard it never worked again only after a complete reboot.

Timduru,

What logs do you need?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johanm74:
Progress!

EDIT 2:

I flashed the t2 kernel again seperately. And guess what?

The psysical keyboard is working EVEN AFTER A CLOSE AND RE-OPEN!

YES!! I love progress!

Next thing I did was turn the physical keyboard OFF in the settings.

Now the on-screen keyboard shows up when the slider is closed. :)

And after reopening the slider the physical keyboard still works! :)

And when opened the on-screen keyboard also shows up but with a simple press on the "back" arrow the on-screen keyboard goes away and the physical keyboard still works.

Timduru, YOU DID IT!! :)

Thank you thousand times!

Maybe some finetuning like screen on when slider I open the slider?

Thx
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goggle81:
Dirty flashed t2 kernel.

Can confirm johanm74. Physical keyboard is working great.

Many thanks [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] for your work and also many thanks [MENTION=3379183]johanm74[/MENTION] for the great testings!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timduru:
Good news then :)

as for screen on/off it might be tricky, as rom-t1&rom-t2 have the flag off,

but with kernel-t2 I'm not sure if it'll work even if I turn it back on, because I really force it to open even when it thinks it's closed ;)

But could be worth a try,

could you try the regular non-SL101 KatKiss #19 rom + flash kernel t2 now ?

Maybe that would be enough to get back screen on/off and keep Physical working like with rom-t2.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johanm74:
Hi,

I flashed the 4.4.2 #19 rom for TF101 + kernel t2

Now the screen-off-when-opened-problem is back.

No sweat, with the SL101-t2 rom and t2 kernel the screen goes on after a keystroke.

I can use my slider to the max with this.

I will install this back again and enjoy my slider like never before.

I did some Antutu-app tests aswell and scores are higher then ever with your rom.

Thx
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timduru:
okie, yeah I guess we have a good compromise now. :)

I've made a compatibility zip that is basically a combination of the differences present in rom-t2 & kernel-t2

that can be flashed on top of the regular KatKiss rom:

http://downloads.timduru.org/android/sl101/KatKiss/4.4/KatKiss-4.4.2_019-sl101-compat.zip

Advantage of the pack is that It should stay compatible with higher than #019 versions, as long as I don't modify things too much ;)

So you don't need a full separate sl101 version.

If someone could test it with regular #019 & report that it still works, just to make we're good for the future :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Minikefala:
I am running the regular KatKiss 4.4.2_019 with the sl101-compat.zip

The physical keyboard is working!!!!

However, the soft keyboard launches even if you have the slider in the open position/keyboard open.

Auto rotation is working.

The rear camera is inverted though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tscheinik:
usb dont work for me

please !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timduru:
yeah it's expected, just push the button to make it disappear.

Try this: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/sl101/misc/sl101-cam-t1.zip
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johanm74:
I can confirm that this zip fixes the camera issue,

superb again!

thx
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Minikefala:
Thank you for the camera fix. It works great!!!

I am not sure what button you are referring to. I can't find a drop down button on my software keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timduru:
Okie, sounds good :)

I've added a compatibility zip V2 to include that then:

http://downloads.timduru.org/android/sl101/KatKiss/4.4/

It's in place of the back navbar button
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Minikefala:
There's no button in place of the back button on my navigation bar. I would take a screenshot but I am not sure how to using this ROM. Pressing the back button to remove the software keyboard works in different cases. If you press the back key, the keyboard goes away but then once you start typing on the physical keyboard it comes right back.(This occurs when typing on the home-screen Google search box in the Google launcher or in the url box of the browser)

The software keyboard does not come back however when typing into Google in the browser for instance.

I also just noticed that the software keyboard does not launch when the slider is closed flat? I am not sure if this is expected or not.

Am also having issues mounting usb stick storage. I tried plugging in my external keyboard via usb and it was working. For some reason my usb stick is not mounting. The mount usb sd card button in settings is not solving the issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DK5:
WOW!

WOW! Great work guys!

I confirm that the compatibility zip V2 is working with the original TF KatKiss ROM. Well, [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION], you are a magician! ;)

You brought my SL back to life! :D

1. You can take screenshot by holding both POWER+VOLDOWN. :)

2. I know what you are talking about: there is some text boxes where pressing the back key exits the text box...

3. You are right: in the text boxes where I manage to type with the physical KB, tapping the text box opens again the soft KB.

4. Again, you are right, there is a few needed improvments. I think that this is somehow connected to this behavior: in the lock screen, opening the slider won't wake the screen but closing it will wake the screen...

5. Just install the K.A.T app or use OTG from the play store. :)

Thank you [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] for your awesome efforts and magic!

Thank you [MENTION=3379183]johanm74[/MENTION] for your speed and professional testing!

Wooooooooo !!!

Many many thanks for this wonderfull Compat patch ! Your gave our Slider a brand new life :laugh:

A guard of honor to [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] !

Another HUGE Thank you to all contributors...

We ALL were looking forward to this great moment !!! :cowboy:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goggle81:
Little question to those that flashed this also.

What recovery have you used?

I've used CWM, but as I read in Katkiss thread TWRP is recommended.

Anybody has a working version?

Sadly I never am able to get into recovery after flashing TWRP that is in this thread....

(perhaps I am only to silly... ;) )

Thanks in advance!

There is a dedicated section in the OP for the slider :)

I'll update now the OP with new information and links ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cheyennemtn:
I installed and no keyboard but will reboot and try to deactivate if I can by pass the sign-in screen and get to my settings.

... Disabled hard keyboard and it started working great. When I plug my flash drive in USB I don't get any confirmation/notification it's been plugged in. I checked in my drives and it doesn't show up. When I unplug it I get a notification saying my sdcard has been removed. Wifi working fine. Rotation is slow and sticks sometimes. I had KRAKD Rom installed previous on my SL101 slider. Good work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] conexs:
Simply install K.A.T app to get USB drives mounted :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cheyennemtn:
Perfect. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SamuelDebruyn:
Disabling and enabling auto rotation causes my Slider to freeze and soft reboot.
