Hey Tim...I missed this new rom!!! Now i found it...i'll try asap....i loved your eos4 version...surely i'll love this one...but i have to wait next week-end...sob!!!

God Job!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Those of you who have flashed 223b - in your "about tablet" does it show 223 or 223b? Thank you!

katkernel

Hi...been following the progress on katkiss and the ROM is awesome! I am running 220 right now and I have seen some testing going on with built in katkernel. I have a question what is katkernel 103b? I have 102,103,104 105 all downloaded in a folder on my microsd card was wondering if I missed one? Also on gapps I have tried 20130617 with 220 and had a lot of media shutdowns even after reboot, using the one Tim recommended in op and all is fine. I think I will wait for Tim to say 223b is stable before flashing to that version...Me personally I don't mind flashing the kernel been doing it since the start of eos4 when the kernel came out ...just seems like S.O.P. now ....but luv the work Tim and all others to keep my tablet on the edge....can't even remember what it was like stock and unrooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
It will still show 223.

The number is the rom build, the extra letter is when I change something without rebuilding the rom

(like in the zip directly for example) to differenciate it from the previous zip.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Thanks for explaining that Tim!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tphacker:
I've been running 223 without issues since yesterday afternoon. No SOD's. :)

Everything is working great.

I did not flash the kernel separtately. Only the one that came with the ROM.

Tablet is Deep Sleeping normally and is waking every time.

All is good.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shesakillatwo:
Same is true for me. So far things seem better with 223....... Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tphacker:
I might have spoke too soon. Just had my first SOD.

I'll wait and see if it happens again. If it does I'll flash the kernel separately and see if the problem goes away.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Tim,

I did a factory reset... and have seen no issues of any kind since. Hurray! Running 223 (didn't bother with 223b yet)... installed just the ROM and gapps. I of course lost a few things, but less than I thought I might.

As an old Linux head, I should have known that endlessly upgrading without the occasional 'throat clearing' by doing a 'virgin install' is a bad idea.

Will report back on any issues. But again, this ROM does seem really fast to me. ;)

Thank you!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] relol:
Hi, i'm on the stable version (215). I did all the steps before installing, full wipe, etc.. This rom is amazing, i'm very happy with it. The only thing i've noticed is i can't copy big files over wifi with ES FILE EXPLORER, by big i mean more than 80mg (i.e. xbmc apk ). But if i just use airdroid, the copy goes fine. i don't understand why. Es file explorer was installed from playstore (not restored from backup). Any ideas on why is this happening?

Cheers :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WayneTho:
I have had a similar issue (not sure of your error) with a generic 7" tablet I bought my wife for Christmas. I found at the time that deleting and re-registering my account would get Google Play to work for about 30 minutes. After months of scouring the internet I found the answer and it's so simple. Go to Settings>Apps>Google Framework Services, and clear cache. Then go to Settings>apps>Google Play and clear cache. Then reboot. No more errors when trying to download from Google Play.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Wayne,

The Google Play issue was only the last of quite a few issues which cropped up for me -- tho not for most others -- upon upgrading to Tim's new KatKiss ROM. I've been using EOS Roms since way back at no. 79 or so.... without *ever* doing a factory wipe. I must say that I'm very glad I did do a wipe -- the way the tablet is behaving now (w/ KatKiss 223) convinces me I was overdue for a factory wipe. If others experience anomalous behaviors after installing KatKiss or for that matter any other ROM, and they haven't recently done one, it may be a big favor to yourself.

Downside is you do lose many of your settings. So either back it up or (if you're not too averse to a little work) just manually install your programs again. The plus side of the latter is you often won't put back as much of the junk program stuff as you might have had originally.

What you don't lose (at least I didn't).... it doesn't wipe your external SD card (if you have one). It doesn't even wipe your download directory or documents directory. (At least -- fair warning -- it didn't wipe mine.)

And things do seem cleaner and faster. Remember to reinstall Tim's K.A.T. App (ver 1.31 is I think the last one) for optimized sound / media.

Blessings. And remember, I'm only an end user not a programmer or expert.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Well... I've given this issue a try for the last few days - and the last few development builds. I tried swiping up from the status bar as someone suggested when it becomes unresponsive, but the swipe doesn't work either.

It's like the status bar is dead, and the notifications icons to the left of it disappear, until I force a refresh with the volume switch rocker - which causes K.A.T App to redisplay the volume level, and then the status bar in tablet mode begins working again.

Anyone have any ideas on this? I see in the changelogs from a prior EOS4 release that this issue was supposed to be addressed. Maybe it's my particular hardware build that is seeing this problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mgeniusm:
phablet

I personally like phablet mode and have absolutely no problems
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Yes, phablet mode works really well with this ROM, and with the EOS4 ROMs - but I'd prefer tablet mode if I could figure this anomaly out.

Had my second SOD at 3:30 PM today with 223 ROM today. I've decided to flash kernel 105 separately which I'm hoping will clear up the issue for me.

Great ROM!! :)

Has anyone had an issue with GPS taking over space? I have not, but a member at TFF (who is not at XDA) sent this to me:

Not sure if it is isolated, or if others are having this issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
I did have a couple SODs with 223, but no idea if GPS was involved. Your note reminded me to shut my GPS off -- it has never worked for me here in the middle of the big city and I very rarely would have call to use it. Installed 223b tonight and all is well so far. We're all helping Tim help us with this great ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KGB7:
Volumes is very low when i watch movies using a movie player app or in Netflix.

Last time i saw an addon for Settings to control volume and EQ, but now i cant find it.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jacobsensei:
Low volume here too.

Anyway to boost, without adding a program?

Nice ROM, smooth, battery seems good.

Thanks, Timduru.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WayneTho:
Try Timduru's K.A.T. app. it has several features besides audio boost.

The K.A.T Toolbox is already installed, just open, grant SU and enable the audio max profile.

Edit: it appears I was wrong, just install the app and then enable audio max profile.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Sorry, just to be clear... are you saying Tim has now put K.A.T. app inside the ROM install as well? Nifty if so. But just want to be sure that is true... or if not I'm misunderstanding your post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Hmmm, may have to eat my words...

I thought I read it was included, but I can't find it. Also looked in the 223b zip and it is not there.

DOH!

If you look at post #22 I also thought that it was included at first cause I read that KAT boost is included and didn't know what KAT boost was! But it's not Kat app! So we have to install KAT app!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philseven:
My bad I miss understood yes you do have to in stall K. A. T. app and I don't know what K. A. T. boost is either unless it is the K. A. T. sound app. I apologize for putting in my 2 cents just trying to help frederuco you have helped me so many times thanks brother.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
;)

K.A.T. App certainly does boost the sound volume -- I remember the first time I installed it and jacked the volume I thought I had a different set of speakers. I mean, these babies are not super-great... but K.A.T. rescued them from mediocre to make them good.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
debug is turned on by default, but to fill up the filesystem like that it would mean that he has an app accessing the gps location all the time and refreshing or something.

He might want to look into that too.

I've released a new version of the K.A.T app to turn off debugging by default:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43862062&postcount=573

Might also address the issue a few are having of the gps install failed sometime.

Use 223b which should be identical to what is in KatKernel zip.

Grab a logcat + kmsg shortly after you have unlocked the bar with the K.A.T app notification.

Also did you notice any particular pattern that might be able to reproduce the issue ?

As I don't have the issue it's difficult to find without logs or without being able to reproduce.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Frederuco, I poked around for a bit last night with DiskUsage, and my File Explorer, and I'm not seeing anything like that on my TF101 w/ KatKiss 223b

---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

Tim, Can you gently tell me how to grab a logcat and kmsg?

Thanks for being willing to look at this issue even though you don't have it. Trust me, I've tried for weeks to find a pattern to reproduce this. Across the many ROM versions, and before/after a factory wipe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Jim,

It is in Tim's forum signature "How to report" link: http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/KatKiss/#report

Follow that and you should be good to go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Thanks for that Frederuco! I guess Tapatalk kinda hides stuff like that in signatures, so I missed it. Doh! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] old.splatterhand:
What place/files should be wiped/deleted, to reset gps to default? Usually i use Superwipe lite, which wipes all but internal and external sd.

Because for me still gps is not usable on the TF and also not in Katkiss with or without the KAT app (the newest i did not try until now but i will do).

Like Tim said before, my gps icon in status bar doesn't even search (blink).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mgeniusm:
gps

I suggest using root explorer and rename system\etc\gps.cfg and then re install gps fix from KatApp and then reboot!

Works for me!

Thats the one!

Thanks dude.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Latest report from here... 223b has not given me SODs and looks good! I'm wondering if the slowness of my browsers (Firefox is miserable and Dolphin and Chrome also bad) has to do with the recent factory wipe I did? File scanning slowdown and such? I'll wait patiently, but so far that's the only issue I'm seeing. Just installed KAT app 1.3.2 so maybe it is rescanning things....

My TF101 is powered by KatKiss ROM (v223b). Overclocked 1.4 ghz.

I just did a clean install on mine and Dolphin seems to be running very well for me. I went further than just a factory reset though and formatted all of /data also.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Yeah, I do the FORMAT DATA every 4-6 months as my tablet slows down due to Asus' using some mid-range NAND flash chips.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bsoplinger:
Does the TF101 suffer from the trim issue that some newer devices have? Would that explain the slowdown?

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] - I'm on KatKiss-223b ROM and gapps-20130323b. I believe there has only been one time back somewhere near the beginning of EOS4 when I had the option in settings to store an account for Google backup service and so have not had the option on factory resets to just let Google Play restore all of my apps even though I use the setting to keep my tab backed up to Google. Is this disabled in the ROM or is it related to the gapps? It would be nice to have this option, to get clean, updated installs of all of my apps while I sleep or something. I can always restore the apps data with Titanium Backup and I know that if I just want to try a ROM out first, then I just don't enter my Google info until I'm ready to. Thanks for continuing on with a great ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KGB7:
I have an odd battery issue.

Yesterday i charged the tablet and dock at the same time. Both showed 100%. Watched a movie, went to sleep.

Today used the tablet for work, plugged it in after an hour of use to let it charge back up.

So now, Dock is sitting at 99% and it has green light on next to charging port. Tablet is showing that its Full, but is at 97%. I did battery stat reset but that didnt solve the issue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Yes, and the LagFix app does help... For a bit. I found the Format Data option to work for longer, but it takes a bit more to execute and restore than the LagFix app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WayneTho:
RR when I started "People" app (Google Contacts)

Just had the very first RR I've ever had on KK. I opened the Google "PEOPLE" app to check one of my contacts and instantly got the Google loading animation found at KK's boot up. It only took about 15 seconds or so to reboot but the battery stats confirmed the reboot as I had only been on battery for about 25 seconds when I checked.

I'm hoping this is an isolated event. If it happens again I'll try to note how and when it happens and try to replicate the effect. Any hints at where to start would be appreciated.

Followed this ROM from EOS. Found it a bit sluggish until I installed kat kernel 103. Fastest my TF101 has ever been! No problems whatsoever.

Good job!

So the LagFix app is safe on our TF101s? Was wondering the other week whether it would be ok to run it. It helped my GNex.

What steps do you take when you do the format?

---
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Yes, it's safe.

When it's time to format, I copy EVERYTHING from my /sdcard/ to my microSD.

Boot to recovery.

Backup:

system & data to microSD.

Wipe:

Caches, system. Then Format Data.

Restore:

System & Data.

Optional - don't restore system but install the ROM and GAPPS fresh after restoring Data.

Reboot

Restore files I need to the /sdcard/ as I need them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Re lag.... I can't swear by this rather ham-fisted approach, but man did Firefox perk up when I did this:

Setup > Apps > Firefox (click it) > and flush the entire cache. Yes, you'll lose your settings. But since I just reinstalled everything I didn't care. And it seemed to speed up massively, even after the cache re-inflated to near the size it had been before.

Just for fun I also flushed the caches of two other programs -- Moonreader plus (my reader of choice) and X-file (great file manager but with some odd behavior lately). Less clear whether that helped those programs, but with Firefox it was a sure winner. As long as you don't care about losing your settings there.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] old.splatterhand:
The Kat app 1.32 doesn't change anything with my GPS problem.

So i wiped my complete TF (with Superwipe full, TWRP wipe) but doesn't change anything too. The gps icon isn't searching for (or blinking).

Then i made the hard break and flashed an old prime rom with nvflash on my tf (should also wipe everything i think).

And immediately after starting gps the icon is blinking.

So flashed back to katkiss, but again, nothing.

I used Google maps, no blinking. Kat app has root and install finished. But nothing.

The TF is faster on Katkiss than ever (faster than Eos or CM which i used a time), but its pain in the ass if you have full Navigon navigation app and you can not use.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pkfox:

GPS is working for me after I put Kat App 1.31. I just updated to 1.32 the other day without problems.

Try using GPS Test you'll find it in the play store. I noticed the first time it take a little while before the GPS starts working but after that it's fine. GPS test will show you the satellites it's seeing before the GPS. It lets me know it sees some satellites before the GPS indicator starts blinking.

Hi...have been using 223b and loving the ROM ....fastest yet!...reading posts on this forum ...am seeing a quick battery drain ...battery usage says screen ,WiFi,Google services...I have the screen brightness at less than half do I need a battery stats clearer apk? If so what is a good one? Also what is this lag apk that was referred about ...does it wipe everything or can you use it and not have to restore anything? Also I have noticed that if I shut the tablet down or reboot when I try to download it fails ..saying not enough room ...then I go to katapk storage mount microsd and all is fine didn't see that problem on eos4 at any time..am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had this happen? ...also hi to Freduco to the forum...has helped me in the past and I find his posts informative
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
For the storage space, try the app DiskUsage from the Play Store. It will show you where your space is being used.

Also, the "LagFix" app in the Play Store will work without any wiping or restoring of data. Run it on the /data/ partition, reboot, profit.

GPS

Updated the 2nd post with the GPS procedure, reminders might help the few having issues

I just tried it again here after a full factory reset / clean reinstall and it worked fine for me.

GPS

:

if it is taking a long time to get a lock or no lock, follow this:

Install the latest K.A.T app

Then follow precisely this procedure:

1) Location Settings

- Go to Settings => Location => turn OFF Access to my location

- Turn Access to my location back ON

- Make sure you agree to let google access the location.

Now you should have :

- GPS satellites: checked

- Wifi & mobile networks location: checked

2) Launch the new K.A.T app

- make sure you grant it root access

- make sure you have internet access

- go to the install menu, Check the "Install GPS quicker fix + Assistance

- Click the Install button

- Make sure it says "Install Finished"

3) Reboot

4) Wait that it has finished booting and launching all the stuff you have starting at boot

5) Start your GPS app

outside with a clear sky line

, to speed things up stay in range of the wifi / internet connection.

Do not let the gps app loose focus

when it is trying to get a fix.

Do not let your tablet sleep

/ turn off the screen either.

Doing that here, the first time and with a cold gps start, and even staying in my house,

I get a 6 sat fix within 30 seconds and 11 sat fix in 1min 15seconds.

From there subsequent fixes takes about 3 seconds to grab 7 sats and about 10 seconds to reach the 10-11 sat fix

(you still want to let it sit outside for a bit after the 1st fix, so that the ephemeris data gets consolidated and updated to help faster fix later on)
