Details are in the EOS thread. Long story short, Tim was on a well deserved vacation and the others on EOS were overwhelmed and decided to move to CodefireX as they have more devs working on the projects.

Tim decided not to join CodefireX and do his own thing here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GrouchyPunisher:
Hey Tim,

If you had to make a wild guess, when do you think we might see a 4.3 KatKiss build?

Thanks!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hardy81:
Installed the newest stable yesterday, from EOS 4, without factory reset, e.g. did the "normal" wipes only. Play doesn't work, says no connection (nothing wrong with network though). Gmail crashes immediately after start. Browser is laggy.

Wouldn't want to do a reset...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Did you flash GAPPS after the ROM?

A new ROM install wipes /system (including GAPPS) so you always have to flash GAPPS after the ROM, even when upgrading.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
There's two way to do an update :

-No wipe ( Usual only I mean ) And everything roll as it should, it's Ok, if not ok =>

-Full wipe and enjoy a clean tab ! :)

Of course, Gapps need to be flashed too to have a fully working tab in some cases

I never wipe, but If there's something wrong, so it's the time to clear everything. That's the way it works, I'm sorry for you, but Titanium Backup is your friend.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WayneTho:
Personally, I feel like we should give Tim all the time he needs to get 4.3 ready for testing. I for one don't want to bug him for an answer until he's ready, even though just like everyone else here, I would love to get my hands on a working version of 4.3. Remember the problems with the early ASUS releases of ICS for the TF101? They released the build before it was ready, possibly due to pressure from the users wanting it "now".

I'm just saying that I would prefer that Tim takes all of the time he needs to make it right before he starts beta testing. That's only fair. Right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Agreed. Tim, take your time.

Oh, also, time will be good to ensure root access works properly because as of now, it does not: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...n-but-chainfires-supersu-works-and-heres-why/
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] marinierb:
To understand what happens when you flash a ROM, open up the ROM's ZIP file and have a look at

/META-INF/com/google/android/updater_script.

You will see that the flash process:

1. Makes a backup of the gapps files

2. Formats /system

3. Installs the ROM

4. Restores the gapps

So if you do not format (wipe) system before flashing, your gapps will be preserved. No need to flash gapps again.

On the other hand, if you format system before flashing, then there will be no gapps to back up and restore. You will need to flash gapps again.

EDIT: Your apps are in the data partition. The flash process does not touch that partition. So if you do not wipe data, your apps will be untouched.

EDIT: The /system partition is read-only. So Android stores configuration info in the /data partition. This is why you need to wipe data when flashing a major system update or an entirely different ROM. Because the configuration data stored in /data might be incompatible with the newer ROM. This is usually not an issue when flashing new builds of your current ROM.

I hope this helps.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Re 224.... anyone else have issues with your mini-sd card suddenly unmounting (usually after the tablet is brought back out of sleep)? While EOS was always problematic when it came to mounting SD-cards in the keyboard's slot, the mini-sd worked like a charm. Not quite so flawless in KatKiss -- I've had it unmount a few times (not a lot, but at least three).

Thanks.

My TF101 is powered by KatKiss ROM (v224). Overclocked 1.4 ghz.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
I took a look and you are correct in the case of KatKiss ROM, but not all ROMs utilize this functionality. I believe it comes from CyanogenMod. Some ROMs just wipe /system out and flash the new ROM and kernel / initrd. Doesn't hurt anything of course to start with a new flash of gapps, especially if having issues of any kind.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

If you are referring to the MicroSD on the side of the tablet, then mine has always been rock solid, except on EOS 221, where it wasn't mounted at all. I'm on KatKiss 224 now and haven't observed any disappearance of my microSD yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
I haven't had any SD card issues with any version of KK.

SuperSU has been updated for 4.3. That's a start to get a 4.3 build.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bsoplinger:
From what I've seen elsewhere, I'm concerned about moving to 4.3 too quickly. One root required app I use more with my Transformer than any other Android device I own is FolderMount. It replaces DirectoryBind which fails on Android versions 4.1 and above. The ability to make logical links between data stored in the Transformer's internal memory and the almost unlimited storage available between the microSD slot in the tablet and the SDXC slot in the dock allows me to have many apps that are data hogs installed. The inability to do directory bindings, even using the debugger.d workaround from 4.2.2, is a killer.

Please Tim, make sure there's a usable way to get at all the useful extra storage the Transformer allows yet so many apps and even the underlying Android system seem to insist on ignoring. About the only category of apps that regularly deal with additional storage are music apps and even Google Music doesn't unless a recent update corrected it.

The most recent update can store on sdcard. But this option is hidden. Your launcher must support activities shortcuts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hammerfest:
Ill give exFAT a go on this ROM hopefully today sometime...

I have switched COMPLETELY to exFAT for every device I have, so much better then NTFS, no limits like FAT32, and is almost truly CROSS platform for every OS! (already for Windows and MAC, and of course a few versions for Android and Linux in general), and for me, the performance is fan-tas-tic!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] niruzz:
Hi Dev, I just installed this rom , Its good so far but

1 several force close in browser was happening.

2 google map is dead lag

3 right click does not act back button.

Thanks !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Thor_Asgard:
Same here, with KKernel only (never had this issue with EOS ROM without KK).

But my problem is only with SD card in dock in my case... everithing is perfect with mini-SD.

Unmounting SD card BEFORE going into sleep fix the problem... I only have to find a software or a command to unmount SD card with one click (or automatically before the tablet go into sleep, it will be perfect in that case !)

But the KatKiss ROM is so great I can live with it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonnyspurukl:
Trying to install this rom coming from ics. Have followed install instructions, wiped, format system, installed rom+ Gapps, wiped cache/davlik. Rom boots fine but on install, and titanium install, it asks for root access then freezes, power options dont work to reboot or go to recovery, I have to hard reset. Tried 224 and latest stable version. Same on both. Any help would be appreciated?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mattgren:
Did you do a factory reset - there's a big jump from ICS to JB ROMs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonnyspurukl:
Yes
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mattgren:
Are you trying to install apps and system settings from TB? The system settings can cause a conflict due to the changes.

supersu

check you have supersu installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonnyspurukl:
I do have supersu installed and it updates it as soon as I open play store

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

No not system settings just user apps but i cant even get that far. Titanium opens and asks to grant root access through supersu which I do but then just freezes. Whenever i reopen its just a blank screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Woody:
Try to open SuperSU and hit the menu key and update the binaries.

If that doesn't work, maybe try and reflash the ROM over itself again (Wipe /cache and /dalvik). You can get into recovery using the Power+Volume Down, then once you see the white letter at the top left corner, release Power and hit Volume up. (That is actually the only way that I use to get into recovery. I'm not even sure if Reboot to Recovery through the power menu works. Key combo works every time and always has since HC days.)

Does any other Root app work or is it just Titanium?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
Reboot to recovery works, I've done it plenty of times ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
What you describe is most likely due to the SD being unmounted.

Most filemanagers will still see part of it as they cache it

but the files can appear as empty and such.

The SD is currently getting unmounted when the tablet goes to sleep.

You need to unmount / remount it from the storage in that case.

Could you post the gps.conf you used ?

Google restoring of apps works fine for me.

I think that the restore process mostly boils down to the deviceID staying the same accross flashing.

If you do a full wipe it'll change, but you can use titanium backup to restore it.

Make sure you check the box during the first gapps install process too when it asks to backup/restore your data.

We'll see how it goes, been working day and nights the past days to get 4.3 merged.

It's now compiling.

Next step will have to get it booting there's something it doesn't like for the moment it seems ;)

Then I'll need to merge back most of the left over features.

I could publish a first alpha version once it's booting and working for the impatients, but yeah I don't want to hear about missing custom features in that case *g* ;)

Yeah I guess 4.3 will bring its lot of headaches.

It is already actually with the code merge *oye*

Is it on website with flash ?

if so see tips in the 2nd post

Yeah it's a known issue with the SD, I've not been able to fix it so far unfortunately.

No problems with MicroSD though.

Check that you don't have some 3RD party app unmounting it or something.

Had that happen to me once, it's not really related to the rom itself, more titanium & supersu.

I think I got around the issue, by killing titanium properly after it froze (swipe from the recents screen)

then launching it again and it had root.

I think the root of th eissue might be that supersu is blocking because of some reason.

Maybe if your tablet is still quite lagging because of the load generated my mediascanner and such after the first boot it can take more time before it's fully started and grants root access.

Maybe try also to let the tablet settle a bit , then reboot , then try again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Thor_Asgard:
No problems with MicroSD for me neither :) Only SDCard.

I don't know much about the kernel, but is it not possible to tell it to unmount SDcard when he goes into sleep ?

When the tablet woke up, the SDCard mount fine after that ^^

But like I said, the ROM is so great that I don't mind about that !

Thanks for all you have done... because of you, we'll soon be able to test android 4.3 on our TF101 ^^
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sm753:

Hi Tim! You may recall I'm having an ongoing problem with the Status Bar in Tablet UI Mode becoming un-responsive, and the notification icons disappearing for periods of time, or until I use KAT app to adjust the sound, which seems to force a refresh/re-enable of the status bar.

Attached are the debug files you requested right after I toggle the volume with KAT app, and it becomes responsive again. Thank you for being willing to look at this - and have a great weekend! (I just renamed them by adding a .txt. extension to the files so I could attach them).

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mnbrightblade:
Hi, I'm on 223b and almost everything is perfect. Honestly, this thing is running awesome, and everything is very snappy. The only thing I would like to be able to do is have the media volume separate from the notification (call ring) volume. It doesn't seem like they can be separated though. Have I missed something?

Thanks for all your work on this! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
My TF soft-bricked itself this morning running 224. Don't know what happened. It just froze, and wouldn't boot past the boot animation. I tried cold booting and reflashing the ROM, and it still wouldn't boot. I wound up having to wipe everything and start from scratch. It wasn't too big a deal for me though since I thankfully don't use my TF for anything vital.

I've tried both the settings location you suggested and another volume slider widget app and both of them lower the media volume along with notification volume. It's like they are linked somewhere that I can't find it.

Did you let the battery drain to empty? I've seen this happen on other devices with different Roms!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonnyspurukl:
Have updated binaries but still same problem. Just appears to be titanium app wise. Sometimes it grants root but it always then freezes before it opens. I have tried re installing rom several times but same every time. Also my power buttons will not work. Power off, reboot etc always just hang. When screen goes off, tablet will not come back on when press power button have to hard reboot. Driving me mad. Been on JB ROMs before without any issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
I always check the boxes on a new install for the backup/restore functionality. And when I get to the point of reinstalling Titanium and starting it the first time and it informs me that the device id is different I always let it restore the previous id. I believe the problem is with the gapps package used. This last time, when I wiped everything clean and even nvflashed back to stock, rerooted, reflashed twrp 2.5.0.0, then flashed KatKiss-223b and the gapps-201303010.signed.zip, then Google proceeded to restore, at least some, of my apps. I also had the option now to store a user account to associate with the backed up apps/data. When I've done the same with gapps-20130323b.zip, no apps tried to reinstall on their own and the option to save an account for backup/restore was greyed out and couldn't be changed, even though the boxes were checked on initial setup.

Consider when a stock ROM (with it's included gapps) is nvflashed, say to fix a no boot situation, even without root, if you had previously checked the boxes on any other ROM and had your account associated properly and checked them again this time, then after the setup, Google just automatically starts restoring your apps and certain data. No Titanium involved or even installed at this point (in fact, it may not even install without root). It is possible that a gapps package installed prior that was different from the 0323b version may have persisted some setting as long as there hasn't been a complete wipe, i.e. the ability to save an account to associate with backup/restore, but it doesn't work for me if I do a complete wipe or even factory reset, I believe, if I'm using the 0323b gapps package. Using 0301.signed, then subsequently flashing 0323b another time after may work in a situation where the necessary data persists, but 0323b doesn't work for this functionality when everything has been cleaned prior.

I know some folks don't care for that functionality, but my tab is just used for personal use and if it's going to be tied up for hours restoring things anyway and I've already set things back to a pristine state prior, then it's just convenient to let Google automatically reinstall clean copies of as many of my apps as it can and, then once Titanium is reinstalled use it to take care of the rest and restore app data.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Woody:
Yup. Happened to me as a matter of fact. I let my TF go way too low one night modding some knuckleheads in another section and just as I was about to plug it in, WHAM!!! Dead screen. Let's just say that was not a fun evening right before I went to bed. Finally had to restore into an older Nandroid. Mine was an Fsync /data corruption though.

Hopefully Lou's was a one-off type thing as our devices are equal in stamina, performance and longevity. <--I'm older in age, but that statement sounds like a Viagra commercial. :eek:

OK. Tim offered a suggestion above. One other thing I could say would be to go into Settings>Apps>Titanium and Force Close, wipe cache and data. Then open up SuperSU and "forget" Titanium permission. Reboot if you want to. Try to open Titanium and see if that works.

After that, I am kind of at a loss as you have tried all the things that I would have done. Especially since that is the only Root app that is effected for some reason.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chasy:

Question... I may be behind on the TWRP installs. Where are we? I thought 2.3.2 or something like that was the last (the one I have installed).

But there's also an "unofficial" TWRP 2.5, which I saw a couple folks mention as though it is good to go.

Here's a URL: http://nexfiles.kjonigsen.net/tf101/twrp/

Is this a safe TWRP to install... and... if so can I install it using the TWRP 2.3.2 to do so?

I try to remember all these different files' installation directions, but one's mind is only so retentive. Sigh.

I've been using 2.5.0.0 for about a month or more. No issues to report.

Grab the zip file and flash from

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
Use the 2.5.0.0 beta from the tf101development thread. I've been using it for awhile, and yes you can use the previous version of twrp to flash it, providing you downlod the flashable package.
