I still have an s2 and, together with TF101 I think are one of the best purchase I did (TF101 of course thanks to you great job)

I'm on 4.4.2 aosp neat rom (coming from slimkat) of [MENTION=1167793]sale[/MENTION] that is really a great rom.

Thanks again for your job.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jesuita:
I allways allways only flash Katkit gapps, the version from the first topic.

Playstore updates itself, this is the first time I'm seeing these artifacts.

Here is the result from the command:

okie

uninstall playstore update

then run that in a terminal:

su -

touch /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk

chattr +i /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk

reboot.

It should stop updating

EDIT:

Hmm, interestingly I just checked and I've been updated to 4.8.20

and no issues.

Those with the img artifacts which version do you have ?

I had it on 4.6.17 but got updated to 4.8.20 and it's good.

side-note: in terminal you may have to touch/chattr (xxx-2.apk) also as I believe they rotate, e.g. if there's [xxx-1.apk] create [xxx-2.apk] remove [xxx-1.apk] etc...

I fixed it mostly with a post by sydneyk that suggests:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf101

Download the latest .blob file using the link above and save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.blob

Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Then reboot normally (NOT to recovery) to complete installation.

phew, it was a long night !:cowboy:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] demod_oz:
Yep I've been getting this for the last few builds. Even did a full whipe. I seem to have fixed it by installing greenify(paid), then xposed module, enable all the experimental options. Then add all the usual suspects that I dont need to update constantly, plus I also now add "Google Play services".

It still doesn't play nice as it requires you to force hibernate but once it is my battery stats show the wifi off the entire time the tablet is asleep. Without it wifi will either be stuck on or will pepper the stats with wifi coming on - as shown in the battery graph/settings.

Those who had these issues, test & report.

To install:

- boot to recovery

- install the rom #028

- install katkiss gapps

- wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

- reboot

That's all and only what you need to do.

No human could fix problems so fast than you...

So, Im running v23 atm and wanna upgrade to 28, but bit confused of what steps to take. Im thinking dirty flashing might work or should I go the safe route and do the steps user xbs posted earlier and do clean install? I hate setting things back after full wipe so soon...

should be ok to dirty flash.

Just following this should be enough :

@ Tim - What is it about Linaro builds that breaks compatibility with certain games?

Or maybe it should be worded, why are some games not compatible with Linaro built ROMs ?

And next question, is there no way to fix it ? Or is it the games that need fixing ?

Hi [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] I would like to take some questions, I have an SL 101, is running KatKiss-4.4.3_027 + KatKiss-4.4.3_027-SL101-compat-V4, can substitute KatKiss-4.4.3_028.zip, wrath of the problems with compat-V4?

* I'm having trouble with google play, images with bad qualities: D

great job, you're the man!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] e154037:
good question
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Updated gapps.

That should also fix panorama with GoogleCam from Playstore and google voice search

New Gapps Package: gapps-KatKiss-4.4.3_20140605.zip | Mirror1

It depends on the game.

there are issues because of neon code

other because of our outdate graphic HAL/bugs (PvZ2)

Other are because of Linaro / optimization flags / LTO / aliasing / GCC version

That makes the generated code different from what most of the game are using to generate their libs (usually old NDK 4.6 GCC.)

Theorically it should work, but generated code differs and is not always compatible with old GCC.

It will work fine with most, but sometime games don't like the way the code is generated because of one or more of these.

As for fixing both would work, if the games libs were compiled the same way or at least with a more recent GCC like the rom they would most likely work.

As for fixing in the rom, reverting to an older compiler , reverting most / some of the flags / optimizations should work for some of the games.

But we'd lose some of the speed.

(that's what I do with NonLinaro, I call it NonLinaro to make it easier but it also has different / less optimization flags in it)

Sometime as Linaro versions / GCC versions gets higher, it fixes on its own too.

Trying to find the best compromise between speed / compatibility and fallback to less optimized flags for some of the rom libs is the goal.

But yeah the game could also fix, we already got CandyCrush crashing at some point because they had changed something, then they fixed it later on without rom modifications.

it's very variable basically.

With time as they move to a more recent GCC it help fixing it too.

Yes should work fine,

just flash #028 + compatV4 + gapps.

Thanks for the explanation :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
I wonder, would the tf101 kernel be still compatible with the 5.0+ Android, if say, they use 3.14 ? At what point will our device will be hard/impossible to upgrade? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
Anything is possible once the source code is released. The bigger the upgrade, the more difficult it is. The bigger question will probably be whether or not the TF101 hardware is still capable of handling the next big update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] worf105:
Even if the next big update is not capable of running on our TF101, we have had great run on our tf101 thanks to TimDuru :good:

On the other hand I bet Tim can make it work for us.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
I am not too worried about the hardware. Its still pretty powerful and should good enough for few years.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] worf105:
Good to hear.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
It's not the power of the hardware that causes the issues, damn my first PC was lower spec'd than the TF101

It's the hardware itself, ie. the reason we can't have normal wallpaper rendering, Android has included new code in new versions that our hardware does not support

Guess a rough way to explain it is like trying to install iOS on PC hardware
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
Actually, from what I understand its not the hardware problem but the problem with closed source portion of the code or the "binary blob".
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
It will be powerful enough for general use. It's showing its age if you intend to use it for gaming or HD Video stuff. As "Detection" pointed out, the real issue will be how much the old hardware will support the new OS.

Updated to built #28 and everything was fine.

The only issue I've got from built #25 is that I'm not able to run YouTube as it always gives me an error.

How can I fix that? I did a dirty flash over #25 and I wonder If doing a clean installation would help, but then I have to format system and do a factory reset. Is that fine?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Wifi draining are caused by *apps*

if it stopped in v28 it means that the app(s) that was causing it stopped using wifi after the reboot to update basically.

For wifi/battery draining you might want to check which options you have set in wifi advanced too turn off allow location to always scan and such.

or just turn off wifi + BT + Location before putting it to sleep.

v28 = v27 + NonLinaro compiled lib replacement + unmount /system for those who had issues flashing.

if you were able to flash the V27-NonLinaro there is basically no changes that a v28-NonLinaro would bring.

So you basically need to use v27-NonLinaro.

Kinda sounds like some corruption on your filesystem..

You might need to backup asap , reformat , / full wipe / restore.

You can delete it with titanium backup or on the file system directly.

Trebuchet crashing if you were on the old one you need to clear its data in Settings => apps

I see a few errors in the logs, but not sure if it's related.

I don't have a BT headset, so can't really work on that easily.

Did your BT headset ever work fine at some point with an older version of KatKiss or asus stock ?

Bluetooth is quite a nightmare since JB,

we're even lucky that it works fine for playing and all I'd say.

No problems for me even after latest Youtube update

Try to clear Youtube data in apps => Settings maybe.

Try to uninstall / reinstall Youtube.

Try to reflash gapps

If all fails, yeah try full wipe.

I guess it's because quite a good share of these changes are just technical changes,

(ie no visual / new user feature)

So these are there mostly for those who care / understand the tech talk.

I try to summarize when I can like in 26 you see

- Optimize:

then a sub list :

Basically if you don't understand the sublist just use the summary "optimize" as a pointer :)

Ok thanks, tonight I will flash v27 non-linaro then.

About wifi draining I'm not sure. i didn't have any in v23, then i had in v25 and v26, and stopped in v28. Apps are the same, and when i tried to switch off wi-fi during the night, in the morning I noticed that the battery had been drained by wifi anyway, even if it was off.

Location settings are alway off on my tablet, since I use it only at home.

I did not check BT.

Thanks. I had WiFi set to sleep but will double check the location settings. Pretty sure its all disabled but battery settings shows wifi as a continuous line (100% on).

Confirmed: wifi only switches off when using an app to turn off wifi when the screen turns off. The wifi does not turn off even when the wifi location is disabled, and the location scanning option under wifi advanced settings is disabled. This was previously an issue with older KatKiss roms, I'm seeing identical behaviour on the newer ROMs.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
And I confirm that wifi is turning off fine when sleeping

You can kinda see the pattern from the screen grab.

Awake: wifi on

Not deep sleeping / getting awake every few minutes, most likely an app still using wifi : wifi stays on

Deep sleeping : wifi turns off after a few minutes and stays off

So as I said before, the keys to get wifi off are:

- No apps keeping the tablet awake and/or using wifi

- Proper deep sleeping will help too.

To help preventing apps from using wifi :

My settings in Wifi => Advanced settings:

- Network notification: off

- Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep : Only when plugged in (that's my preferrence but never should most likely work fine too)

- Scanning always available: off

- Wifi optimisation: on

To help tablet deepsleeping:

- Check if you have apps waking up the tablet all the time

- Turn off location, uncheck share location with apps / google apps and such.

- if you have a faulty dock that has the "never will sleep bug" like mine, you need to undock.

Also keep in mind if you're coming from a full wipe

Media Scanner will take some time (a lot of time if you have a lot of files) to settle down,

and while it scans your tablet will not sleep.

To help that you have MediaScannerFilters in Settings.

that's one of the first thing I set up after a full wipe:

- Go to Apps => All => Media Storage => Force Stop + clear data (that will stop the scanning and clear up the bloated DB it has generated without the filters)

- Go to MediaScannerFilters:

-- White List: type /system/media/ ( my preferrence, but see post #2 if you prefer something else)

that will allow media scanner to only scan that directory which is need for system sounds.

-- Always add directories list: /storage/sdcard1/mymediasXXXX (add a specific list of whatever directories you need to index)

- Reboot

Not having a gazillion of apps installed and running in the background sure will help too.

Nowadays there are many apps that use wifi all the time to check things, and/ or location.

And on other news CandyCrush will work fine with the Linaro default rom in #029 :D

Now I can resume more interesting work ;)

Widget re-size

I just noticed some odd behavior with the News360 widget on version #28. If the widget is dropped on the desktop it loads fairly quickly. However when it is re-sized it will not load or refresh at all. It just displays the circular "I am loading" icon on a gray window. If I remove the widget and drop it on the desktop again it loads fine until an attempt is made to re-size the widget.

EDIT:

I found something that made it work. I needed to enable lock screen widgets by going to Settings > Security and checking Enable widgets. For some reason that then allowed widgets on the regular screens to be re-sized and everything still work. Still a bit of odd behavior...

dock not charging

Hi,

I was running titanium backup without plugging in the charger. The dock's charge ran down to zero and now is refusing to charge. I've tried almost everything, reinstalling the rom and even disassembling the dock (to flip the switch). Is anyone able to shed some light on this? I suspect it has something to do with totally running the battery totally flat and then the rom refuses to charge from there?

thanks for any advice!

Its the type of battery nothing to do with the ROM, once they discharge completely, many will never charge again
