I use nova on both my n7 and ns because I don't like kitkat launchers.

I tried nova on the tf101 but scrolling lagged bad even trebuchet always had a bit of delay.

For some reason I tried nova again on the tf101 today and turn the force wallpaper option and bam!

No lag whatsoever while scrolling home screens. Never saw the tf101 scrolling this fast.

Just wanted to share this with you guys and ask if anyone knows what different in that option that makes home scrolling this damn smooth.

same here, both batteries dropped overnight here. Running 029, very little use. woke up with first SOD I can remember. I plugged it in, pressed power/vol up and rebooted to find both batts flat. I always turn wifi off and airplane mode on when closing lid. fsync =on was flashed which I think saved my bacon. I overclock only to 1200. No new apps, just updates, and the day before I had 200 hours since boot with cpu+.

This needs no reply, just agreeing with you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
The SoD that drains the batteries flat started with the ICS stock ROMs, Honeycomb never had them, in-fact HC was rock solid, just slow

I would regularly go to wake my TF up and find both full batteries the night before completely drained when it was running ICS stock
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Internal wallpaper copy rendering.

It should be the same smoothness if you use that option in trebuchet or any other launcher that can do it. Or does it by default like go launcher EX.

The thing is that they added a dedicated wallpaper layer since JB,

The issue I think is that we still have the old pre-JB video HAL / gralloc which is not aware of a new layer, hence the lag,

This is the same than the phabletUI with Navbar, the top and bottom bar are in 2 different layers,

whereas before with TabletUI we only had one bar and one layer.

Since we don't have the source, it's difficult to fix.

The fix for the notification and QuickSetting drop down lag that I made previously is more of a workaround to avoid damaging the Bottom navBar layer, so that it doesn't redraw.

You most likely need to find which app is causing that after the updates then.

And SOD is different than running out of battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
I have the quick render activated in Trebuchet but it's not as smooth as Nova.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
All internal renderings are not equal, next launcher is smoother than go launcher which is also smoother than trebuchet.

Trebuchet is mostly using the pre-JB rendering code.

So it'll be as smooth as before JB with trebuchet internal rendering activated

Non-scientific observation, but after switching back to Apex from the latest Nova, my battery drain seems to have gone away. Hmm.

I know i've asked this here before but

Is anyone else always asked to choose the default app to open links and such? even when I select 'always', it's not always...:(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
If you install another app that can perform the same function, then it will ask you again, for example if you set Stock browser as default not to ask again, then install Dolphin browser, it will ask you again

Not sure if updates will clear defaults too
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
Is F2FS supported?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grndnl:
Ahah, yes I'm aware of that.

What I'm trying to say is EVERY time I'm prompted to choose the default app, not just after the first time I open a type of link or after I install an app. I guess no one else is having this problem, so I'll try to find the solution somewhere else. I just thought I would start here because this problem started when I first flashed this ROM.

Yea sounds specific to you only, have you tried reflashing the ROM ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
I, too, have this issue... but just haven't paid it much mind. There are a number of questions I've asked myself but not bothered to ask here...

1. Is the way I open files somehow unexpected? (I use X-plore file manager oftentimes, and it asks and asks and asks... which may be the file manager's problem not KatKiss's).

2. Are some apps remaining active and "intercepting" calls for files even if I assign the default to another app?

Well, that's only two questions. I have little idea as to the answers.

:-O

Being having a couple of SoD in the past few days. While looking at the settings, while using Facebook, and while using the mail app. The screen freezes and then the tablet restarts for no reason. I don't know what's going on, but at least I have fsync on, so I guess I won't lose any data.

4.3.1 #29 boot hang?

Has anyone experienced an occasional boot hang where the boot animation just keeps repeating, but the TF101 doesn't boot fully even after more than 10 minutes?

Usually my TF101 with 4.3.1 #29 boots in a few minutes. On occasion, it hangs on boot even and only a hard reboot will recover from that. Usually, it completes the boot after the hard reset (holding the power button down).

I've tried wiping (factory reset) and install from new but that didn't get rid of it. I try to reboot at least once a week or if things get sluggish.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Not here.

A few (perhaps useless) questions:

1. Are you overclocked? My take on KatKiss 29 is it hardly needs overclocking so either go with minimal OC (like 1200ghz) or none. See if that eliminates the issue.

2. Have you installed apps that may be causing the issue? (I uninstalled Nova Launcher, for instance, when sudden battery drain occurred; sure enough, that seemed to fix that issue.)

3. Is the tablet plugged into the Asus keyboard dock? If so, you could unplug it then replug it to make sure it is solidly connected. (I know, that's a rather far-fetched "fix").

Fer whut it be woith... ;)

i just experienced the same issue as [MENTION=5198826]mak8tack[/MENTION]. just did a dirty wipe from #27 to #29, and it will always be stuck in a boot loop after the 1st install.

only your 3rd solution worked, which was to undock the tablet from the keyboard. no more boot loops.

now all i have to do it hope there won't be any random reboots while it is docked... :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kokabunga:
Got bootloop also (#29, dirty flash, fsync ON)

bad news : i had to full format via TWRP to get rid of it, loose all my games data, music...

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
They should be on TWRP 2.6.3.0 if my EasyFlasher worked.

In most TWRP versions there is an option at the top of the screen when on the install screen to browse for Internal or External storage. Some newer versions have USB and Dock SD support as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Westi01:
I am using TWRP 2.6.3.9 and I can't access my microSD where the rom is located :/ . I also can't mount the internal storage :(

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
I would use EasyFlasher to flash back to stock and that should fix your partition issues. See if you can boot stock.

If that works, install TWRP again and then try to flash KatKiss.

How to delete the Desktop screens

First of all, a Big Thanks to Tim for such a nice Rom, and bringing my old Tablet back to usage.. I was using my tablet as a "Rechargeable Paper Weight" till I installed KatKiss :D

Till now, I have found no issues.. I am feeling like battery is getting drained a bit fast (I flashed fsync already).. Going for a full recharge and reboot..

I have installed Nova launcher, but I am going to uninstall now because i have ready comments that it drains battery..

But I have one other question.. Is there any way I can delete the Desktop screens using the default 4.3 launcher?

I like to have my apps placed in 2 desktop screens, and dont want 3 extra desktop pages :rolleyes:

I know custom launchers I can use to delete them, but dont want to use those..

Please let me know if this is possible :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Use Trebuchet (included in the ROM). Open the App Drawer and not the menu key to get to the settings and you can change the number if screens.

AFAIK there is no way to change the number of screens with the stock android launcher.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sreister:
Hey all,

New to the scene but not new to the process. Ever since I flashed this (latest Dev version) I cannot get it to charge. It shows that it's charging with the icon and whatnot, but you go into the battery setting and says not charging. Any ideas? Am I missing something that's been discussed? I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything that would help. Thanks!

Soooo, as i promised, i tested a 64gb Samsung class 10 sd card with the inverted kernel. When i set up the system with all my apps installed,nearly ....1000 apps, all went ok, till i started optimizing my way as i do with all my devices. I used ROM TOOLBOX and tried to change the sd card speed form the default which was,if i remember correctly 2048 to 4000...and bam!!! immediate reboot and then reboots like my good old sandisk card. I erased everything, did a fresh install and tried not to change many things.Just disabling system startup apps, leaving defaults values with the performance center of settings and did my usual overclock to 1200. Everything till then its fine!!! NO REBOOTS whats so ever...after many days,heavy use, a full 64gb card of game files etc,the tablet is rock solid! So my advice for RR? Dont pick the tablet too much!

Merry Christmas and may god have us alright to enjoy this beautiful ROM in this perfect tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Yes. The Asus wall wart outputs 15 VDC @ 1.2 Amps when an Eee Pad is connected. Using a generic charger at 5 VDC will charge between 3-10% per hour when the screen is off, and discharges when screen is on.

KatKiss shows charging indicator at 5VDC instead of just 15VDC.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sreister:
Well thank you for the info! This is literally my first day with this baby so I appreciate the info! Also, I apologize for the ignorance and having this discussion in the wrong thread then!

I use Nova Launcher Prime on this (tf101) and 3 other devices and have not experienced any battery drain issues, NLP does not even show in batt stats our any 3rd party battery monitoring apps.

It's possible that Nova Launcher may have had a widget loaded that was causing battery drain and when uninstalling Nova also removed the widget causing issues.

-JR-
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WayneTho:
I've used the free version of Nova Launcher for over a year on my TF101 and haven't hat any noticeable battery drain that could be attributed to the launcher. I would encourage anyone with battery drain issues to download a couple of apps to troubleshoot. I use wakelock detector and CPU Spy but others may have different choices. You can locate what is ACTUALLY causing the drain by looking for what is using the most battery and identifying orphaned wakelocks.

Oh, and I use Nova for the Transformer because it does tablets well but it's not my choice for my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2). For that I use Go Launcher EX, which IMHO isn't great on the TF but seems a perfect fit for the phone form factor.

I got a cheap way charger on fleabay and I find it charges OK and not noticeably slowly but I have noticed that the touch screen becomes very unresponsive during charge on this cable, its not ROM related as it does it on all, took me a little bit to catch what was wrong but its just something else to bear in mind folks.

I can confirm that the Samsung 64GB class10 UHS-I is working nicely.

Because I store private documents on the card I wanted to encrypt the SD.

Does anyone else tried to encrypt the tablet?

When I do this it displays the "Encrypting Android"-animation.

It displayed for nearly 16 hours in the meanwhile it cannot be used, only locked and unlocked.

Is this a bug in the ROM because of disabling SElinux?

Thanx guys and galls
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] doppelhelix:
I seriously doubt that the build-in encryption will work on your sdcard. And even if it does, you won't be able to access your encrypted data from any other computer. For encryption on a file by file basis, try Encdroid Multi Cloud. It's based on encfs which is available for most OS's and handles local files, Dropbox and webdavs (e.g. Box.com).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] davinck:
Thanx.

The point is I do NOT want the files to be readable on any other computer.

I synchronize / copy everything from and to a NAS with encrypted storage.

I guess Encdroid Multi Cloud is something like EDS..?

Allthough I prefer the builtin encryption of android I will give it a try,
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] doppelhelix:
Not quite. EDS uses containers while encfs will encrypt on a a file basis.

If your NAS data is already in a truecrypt-container then stick with it. If not, I recommend encfs, since it is an open format (True crypt is free but not open in the sense of transparency. That is why most Linux distributions have removed it)

Hi timduru,

Do you, by any chance, know what is the vermagic of you kernel ? To find it out, i would normaly run "modinfo -F vermagic anymodule.ko", but i dont seem to find any modules .ko in the system or vendor files. I would really appreciate if you, or anyone else, could help me out with this as i am trying to configure DroidMote Server on my tf101.

Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
The modules in 4.4 (sorry don't have my tab handy) appear to be in /system/lib/modules but on my phone as an example, the only module loaded is dhd.

So I did:

root@d2tmo:/system/lib/modules # modinfo -F vermagic dhd.ko

modinfo -F vermagic dhd.ko

vermagic: 3.4.74-KT747-g2ed810e-dirty SMP preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7

You can also use uname -a from a command prompt:

root@d2tmo:/system/lib/modules # uname -a

uname -a

Linux localhost 3.4.74-KT747-g2ed810e-dirty #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 20 20:35:09 MST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux

Kernel info is also located on the About phone screen in settings. Hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just1nsama:
thanks for the reply, uname -a did the trick, needed more information than what the "about phone" shows .... that being said, do you know where the modules .ko files are located in android 4.3.1 ? I cant seem to find any in KatKiss.

Hello, won't tools like rom toolbox pro fail to send stuff to the flash queue if we use the inverted mount points?

Regards
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Lol, you made me search for 30 minutes...haha. jk.

So I guess the 4.3 Android does not have loadable kernel module support. My guess is it's all baked in. So when you "lsmod" or "modprobe" you don't get anything:

1|root@tf101:/proc/net # modprobe

modprobe: can't change directory to '/system/lib/modules': No such file or directory

1|root@tf101:/proc/net # lsmod

root@tf101:/proc/net #

Maybe stupid question:

I have to choose between launcher and trebuchet but I don't know the differences ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
They're just different Launchers, you can install different ones from Google Play too, just personal preference which one you choose, they are the homescreens you swipe through, your apps draw etc

If you choose one and set it as default, but want to change it, just go to Settings > Apps > All > Launcher or Trebuchet and clear defaults, then press the Home button to choose a different one
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Launcher has NO options. Cannot change number of home screens, transitional effects, etc.

Trebuchet looks almost exactly the same but has lots of options to customize it. I would not use launcher myself as I don't like being so restricted.
