[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Doesn't look like anything is eating the CPU, GoLauncher is smoother but not as smooth as #19, not sure what's wrong, it's as if disabling system rendering isn't working properly, or isn't removing fully the wallpaper layer that our TFs can't handle along with notifications bar layer at the top

Works fine in #19, soon as Internal is disabled, everything is buttery, even without it disabled the apps draw and settings were smooth, but in #20, even settings and app draw remain laggy with it disabled

EDIT - Weirder, disabling the wallpaper service completely and rebooting does nothing to fix it, so it appears that is not the problem then.... any ideas what else could be causing it ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
Cool, thanks!

What does the newer hwcomposer bring?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brgroover:
maybe its a new hwcomposer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
Yap its jerky using trebuchet.

Nova with normal rendering seems faster.

Mine seems to work fine. Go into development settings and make sure Window animation is set to .5x (note the decimal point!) and the other two animations are off.

Just installed 4.4.2 v20. Did not do a complete wipe.

Mine seems to work really nice with Next launcher 3D and custom wallpaper going now. switched mine to Disable System wallpaper rendering and put my own wallpaper and it seems to be running super fast again. As smooth as with it all disabled on 19 if not smoother.. Lightning fast transitions between screens and zero lag

Was strange though. at first boot with everything off in wallpaper display settings and a black background, was rather jittery and laggy scrolling through screens and top nav bars?

Anyway,Thanks Timduru, Keep up the great work. Will run this version through the ringer all night as a test!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fire-blade:
Installed 4.4.2.020 in the hope that it would solve my rebooting sl101, but no luck - same problem still :(

Smooth as butter again, but boot loops when i stop actively using the tablet or press the power button to enter sleep.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
Hi Tim. Thx for this great update once again!!

One small favor to ask, tried go launcher already but I was wondering if you would know of other good (fast) launchers with internal rendering?

Currently still on Nova Prime.

Thanks again!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vietdoan20062006:
i just installed the rom yesterday

everything works fine except, the camera, it is upside down and rotated direction!?!

how to fix that please
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Stand on your head and turn your tablet upside down.

Seriously though, camera works fine right way around for me
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
Enjoying 4.4.2 #20 very well. No problems here.

Hehe. Mine is fast as hell. Dunno if it's settled yet but I can't see no lags. No disadvantages / advantages to #19 yet.

If it stays like this and there are bugs or improvements, then they only apply for advanced users or didn't met 'em yet.

So: good job. Thy for your efforts!

Relating Launchers:

But since I'm a Next Launcher 3D user I've been kinda out of this discussion on lags anyway. What benefits do GO Launcher

or Nova bring to other launchers like eG Next3D? So many people are using them. I though NextL3D was an advancement

from Nova team - yes even from the same developers. As far as I saw it on Youtube, the Next Launcher combines them all

but lets you disable almost any feature to keep it as minimalistic and as performant as you like want it.

Nevermind. I've always been fine with Next Launcer 3D since I got the free version from "App of the day". I think it's 15€ if you want to

buy it via goole - what I could not do. I got no credit card and even if... I would buy it because 15 bucks are an arse full of money.

Even though the launcher is awesome, I could not effort itThanks App of the day And titanium backup. :>

Have to point out: Never tryed Go or Nova ever. I'm going with diasble system wallpaper and NOT. Not

disabling the service at whole (alwaysblack makes kinda depressive. All good. :>

I posted a 4 parted tutorial on how I backup, wipe, format and install a ROM here: ..:: Tutorials ::..

You might consider starting to read at Part #1 ..:: Part #1 - Backups ::..

Relating "keep it clean":

After installing a ROM - before I switch to Next - I clean all items/links on trebuchet, disable all the homescreens

and dockspaces etc... Call me paranoid but IF this ***** gets it managed to restart itself or whatever and keeps

running in BG, then it shall be at minimum cost. I know... guess it CAN'T be running in BG but...who knows

Clean is clean! :P If there was one thing that Apple really had ahead of most linux based OSes, then

it was the "holy rule" (which they really tryed to obey all time as long as Steve Jobs was alive):

That's why I stay with Tim. He never made plywood-junk. And remember *toadytoady*: this wallpaper rendering bug is

haunting around almost any ROM since 4.4! If Timduru really beats it, it would be much more a prove of his great skills as

it would say anything else! :> The problem seems to be caused by Google, no? So many are suffering from it at the same

time.

Cheers

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION]: Did you change something to the resolution / DPi or something relatied the optics? I cant feel a big diffrence in the

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Speaking of non-plywood junk...

My TF101 has Android v4.42_r2 KVT49L before my Nexus 7, and I just checked for updates. :)

Excellent job Tim! This ROM continues it's tradition of excellence!

I didn't even know AOSP got this. I thought it was just released for the Verizon LTE Nexus 7.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vietdoan20062006:
this rom is awesome but the camera :(

so i had to switch back to KatKiss-4.3.1 #029 so that camera can work
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Camera seems to work 110% perfect on mine. Correct orientation, front and back. Sorry you had to go back!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
Some tests on the cam

Made an allround camera check on #20:

Starting cam first time lead to a freeze. This happened after I denyed google to tag whatever.

(Google services again? :/). While freezing the back cam was activated.

Killing the app by long pressing back results in: Next Launcher 3D crashed - but restartet fine.

Second start (without reboot) worked fine.

Also 2 other starts after 2 reboots.

Testing the functions:

Back cam photo: Worked

Front cam photo: Worked

Switching some times between front and back cam works.

Camera modes:

Fishbowl photo: Crash

Panorama photo: Crash

Video with front cam: Works

Video with back cam: Works

All other options seems work.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"Ssumma summarum: [COLOR="DarkGreen"]Camera seems to work as in 4.4.2 #19. Improvable but working[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Hope that dude didn't give up right after he started the cam the first time... :>

Hope it helped. Cheers.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
Basic camera works fine for me. Using any of the effects, it crashes. No other issues. No lag using Nova.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
No camera issues here, nor with standard camera nor with camera fv5 app
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
You meant that everything exept the camera modes (fishbowl, panorame - see picture below) work? :>

​

For me the app is a bit buggy. Sometimes it comes up with black screen (back cam). The Front cam is always working.

¿Strange?. I definatly came from a clean full wipe & format. Will keep an eye on it. Maybe another app is interffering.

*Edit: After a reboot everything seems to work as usual. Front cam and back cam are working now. Maybe the gallery was

working and the system still needed time to settle. Also see for more details: A brief review

Cheers.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
Just verified, in the normal camera app both indicated options crash.

No issue for me but I thought it better to report. I always use camera fv5.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] felek73:
v0.19 is much faster than 0.20 especially in browser scrolling.. anyway big thanks Timduru for keeping this old device alive

Edit: I did dirty flash 0.20 over 0.19
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Phoenixct:
#20 flashed and all works fine, but google+ still crashes, even with photo & contacts sync off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
I was mistaken to say 110% - tried panorama and fishbowl this AM, both close the camera app - all other functions of camera seem to work fine. So 85% then... :)

Never have used either of those modes, just shot still with front & back cameras - but what I meant when I said 110% was in reply to the OP's comment the camera was upside down, etc. The fishbowl and panorama problems surely aren't even close enough for me to go back a version of KK/KK, but each to their own.

Hi

Can i update froh katkiss 4.3.1 without factory Reset?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
Hmm....

Cheers!

Can't confirm that browser thingy. Mine is running as always. Actually I think mine a bit faster but moreover (and more important) a bit more stable. But both observations could be owed to the fresh and clean install. I ALWAYS experienced strange kinda of things happenig when I dirty flashed a ROM. It always started with some "unusual behaviour" here and there which is growing until it's highly annoying. That's why I always suggest a clean installation. One should have a Titanium backup or compareable at hand anyway and it doesn't take much time to restore it. Even in my case ( ~ 8GB - 14GB ... depends) it takes less then ~30 minutes.

I'd like to suggest trying Next Launcher 3D. I'm using version 3.02 and it's working really good. There has been a free version once but couldn't find it. I don't know what the whole benefits of the full version are but I think I can remeber to have read it's mostly about effects. And I think the effects in thr free version still arwere fine. All I could find was this " ¿Shell version? Maybe you should give it a try - even though the reconfiguration and learning process might be annoying. ;>

Don't do it. I wouldn't even recommend it when coming from another 4.4 build.

You might get away without a full wipe, but it's not recommended.

If you're going to try it, make sure you've done a nandroid backup before starting...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wn1ytw:
You should do a clean install. Because it is a different ROM.

Do a backup of your apps with Titanium Backup.

In TWRP wipe cache, dalvic, system, data.

flash ROM, GAPPS and if you like safe fsync on.zip.

wipe cache/dalvic reboot.

after you get it setup and stable you can install titanium from the play store and restore you apps - NOT SYSTEM APPS OR DATA.

Running lag free and smooth here (Nova Prime), with or without wallpaper rendering on.

Not been able to reproduce any stuttering in Trebuchet either.

No bright ideas for a cause, sorry.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
[MENTION=4895045]Piehti[/MENTION] - just want to say +1 on the Next Launcher 3D, it seems to run very well on this ROM.

I have been running it since Team EOS days and folks with their fancy phones always look at the eye candy on my TF101, and drool. My favorite effect is also the crystal transition. No stutters, very fluid! There's so many settings in the launcher it takes a while to master the look & feel you want.

Also wanted to say thanks for the YouTube vid you posted, and yes not only am I, but my wife is whistling too! :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cybhunter:
Not sure if this a ROM problem, a Super User Problem or a General 4.4.X problem; an inabilty to run some superuser command.

Last night, I was using the (non-latest) ROM, and one of the first things I did was install Busybox and grant root to it. I typed the following

su
reboot recovery

only to receive

255| REBOOT tool not found

running a Catlog under the search term "Reboot" resulted in the Package Manager stating

255 (W) Not granting permission android.permission.reboot to (package name for chainfire's super user apk) (protectionLevel=18)

On the 4.2 EOS build, I never experienced this problem, hence not sure what the root (no pun intended) of the problem is.

earlier today I flashed 4.4-14, and it works great, then I notice that 4.4-15 is up, so I download it and copy it to my tf-101, and try to boot into recovery, and that is my problem... I tried vol down + pwr, and then vol up, and katkiss boots normally. I installed "Quick Boot" from Google Play, hit boot into recovery, and Katkiss boots normally... So how can I get into twrp recovery? to install

Yeah, I guess you really are confused.

If you didn't know, historically the phabletui had frame drop problems on this tablet, but they were gone on the recent builds.

Or maybe what you call smooth isn't the same I do

It must be that you're so much more discerning...

For clarity, there's no difference in smoothness between 019 and 020 on my tablet.

Hm? Would you mind to be a bit more precisely? I'm not too much into guessing games.

What exactly is the problem? Is the menu too slow? Too bad animated? I actually don't see

any real problem. Maybe my eyes are too bad or I don't know what you mean. I did this here

on my tab. If I totally concentrate, I can see that lines too... but that has too do with the speed

of eye and the animation of the bar, not the ROM at all, no?

Looks like your cam fps is very limitted anyway so I can't do a real statement about your behaviour

at all. :(

I've also rolled back to 19 now, and the difference is extremely noticeable. Feels like v20 is only doing a fraction of the screen refresh of 19. I tried all UI modes and Force GPU rendering, with the same result.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sudoeste:
Because of POV I've recorded at 240fps. The timebase is the same ( 240fps -> 30 ). From what I understood the animation has a determined number of steps, therefore faster = more frames per second

I also tried using fps counter from market. Trebuchet is running at 30fps on 19. On 20 the program can't display the current fps (always 0)

Alright Timduru!

Totally stoked to now be able to use my HW keyboard without the tab locking itself now, and to be running the bleeding edge version of Android KitKat? Life doesn't get much better than this!

Camera works great now, Netflix works so my daughter is happy to watch her cartoons again, sound is nice and loud (as far as I am concerned).

There are only two things that I am not entirely sure of...

1. Since you included the SL101 fix for the HW Keyboard, is there a way to have the device detect when its opened and automatically hide the SW keyboard, yet still use it when the tablet is closed? Right now I am having to see the SW keyboard while I am actually typing this... (though i just noticed I could simply HIDE the keyboard when typing something derp)

2. I have never really had any luck using USB storage from either flash drives or external hard drives, is there something I am doing wrong? When I plug it in, it's like nothing happened, but when I go to unplug it, it tells me that a device was ejected/removed incorrectly... any help on this would be great!

Aside from that, I have ZERO problems with this iteration of KatKiss. It gets my stamp of approval and completely has breathed new life into my dying tablet.

Like I said, the external storage is all I need to view this as a flawless release for this thing, and I know that you are likely the only dev who has even put any time into it.

also, not that I don't like the meerkat, is there any way of changing the bootscreen animation?

If these questions never get answered, I am ok with what I have and more than thankful and appreciative!
