Just a teeny footnote...even after running the KAT app, I had a bit of trouble locking onto signal today. However, the "clear GPS data" function in the GPS Status settings did the trick for me. :)

Thanks for this rom, it really brought my transformer back to life.

I do notice wird things with WiFi and how it drains the battery.

WiFi off = GREAT battery life

WiFi on (wifi>advance>screen of sleep>"never" = OK battery

WiFi on (wifi>advance>screen of sleep>"always" = BAD battery

WiFi on and airplane mode (wifi>advance>screen of sleep>"always" = bettet battery

I guess my question is how come the wifi doesn't sleep properly to save battery when the screen is off?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Can see about that, sounds like a good idea.

Well besides that it has nothing in common.

HTML5 video playing only fullscreen in browser is a chromium webkit bug that was originally in chrome beta versions, and got imported into kitkat.

Ironically now chrome seems to work fine for that, but since kitkat is now using chromium webview as default, the kitkat browser and others based on the regular webview will show the issue.

So for html5 video use chrome or just play it fullscreen.

For mkv & other video , Hardware acceleration works fine for me, it mostly boils down to the codec used inside the container.

As mentionned before, Video will fail / switch back to SW for cases when the codec is not handled by asus omx video codecs.

It has always been the case.

But I just tested a bunch of test mkv in different format and it works fine.

It's difficult to know what could have gone wrong,

works fine for me.

I just flash the rom as normal , then follow the procedure.

One thing could be the way it is formatted or your backup restore in the middle maybe.

did you try without restoring your backup ?

What you list seems logical based on the settings.

basically if you use a setting that tells the wifi not to sleep, it will use more battery.

Others things to check is using wifi based location, as google services & co will use wifi / turn it back on / prevent it to turn off if you use these settings.

You have 2 extra settings for that in wifi advanced, also the "notify of network one"

I bit the bullet and came back. I had the wifi dropping issue on kitkat 4.3 as well. So I flashed #18 this morning and I can browse the web but when I try to download from play store it just hangs.

I never had this issue with stock rom so it has to be something I flashed or did (only kitkat and gapps)

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Also, when I flash the Gapps shouldn't I have the Google Apps cause they are not installed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gadgetrants:
FWIW I had to install the gapps manually as well. Several attempts to zip-install via recovery were unsuccessful.

Yes Gapps = Google Apps, if you Wiped System & Both Caches, then flashed the ROM then Gapps then clear Cache & Dalvik Cache, you should have Google Apps installed

Try setting the Wireless channel to a different channel in the router

You can (when you get Google Play Store installed) install an app called "WiFi Analyser" that will show you the best channel to use to avoid conflict with neighbours networks

Try installing the Play Store manually for now

I would make a Nandroid backup if you have DATA you want to keep, and wipe everything 100% from TWRP recovery, then flash the ROM & Gapps again
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Maarten_0031:
Guys, a question. If I want to have an inverted storage, is it best to disable the ext4 journaling before or after the inversion? Come to think of it: can they even exist together?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mattgren:
this might be too obvious, but have you checked the md5 of the download? you might have a corrupted copy accounting for the problem, certainly not something I've experienced when flashing these gapps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 11wallace11:
My common sense says that it doesn't matter, but it'd be safer to do it AFTER flashing kernel.

On a side note, I'd like to mention that this inverted storage setup is very fragile and you can easily get into a bootloop from corrupted system files, so it'd be the best to play safe here. It's fast enough anyways ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 11wallace11:
I'm determined to find a solution - so I investigated further and found out it's an issue related to permissions in Android.

In the beginning I couldn't even create a new file in root explorer on /sdcard1 so I tried

/sbin/chmod -R 777 /sdcard1

That made it possible for root explorer to write files on the partition. Problem starts when trying to open files with other apps, such as video or apk. It doesn't work.

Furthermore, Android doesn't show sdcard1 as in settings.

Do you have any idea how I could fix the permissions? (fix permissions from recovery breaks everything...)

If not, I'll just try to start over :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Maarten_0031:
Well, I got into a bootloop and frozen screens anyways flashing #18 coming from a dirty flash. Took me 3 reinstalls and eventually a full clean install/system format without even a google backup restore of my apps. Or the roms are getting more demanding, or my TF101 is just getting old.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ninja Potatoe:
Any chance of porting this ROM to the TF300T? Or someone else developing this on the TF300T? The tablet is pretty much dead thanks to the lack of ROMs... All we have for 4.4.x is CM and OmniRom.

Google designed KitKat 4.4.x to be run on entry level hardware to gain more market share. Even the standard version of KitKat 4.4.x from CM11 will be better than any stock ICS or JB.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
ext4 journaling disabling needs to be done everytime after you format the partition(s),

if you do the format steps in the inverted storage procedure then you'll need to disable journaling again after the procedure.

If you reuse your storage that is/was already inverted then it's not needed.

still not found a way to fix it

Inverted storage doesn't make things more 'fragile'

Only risk coming from that is that you need to be careful with what you're doing in recovery, especially if you don't use a recovery that understand that it's inverted.

Ext4 journaling disabling is the one making things more fragile, unless you know what to do

(ie manual fsck in case you have an unclean filesystem caused by a reboot or such)

Actually I would say that inverted storage and ext4 combined will make things less 'fragile' / easier to fix, compared to ext4 journal disabling alone

Because with inverted storage your data filesystem (the one that can prevent to boot if it gets unclean) is on your MicroSD, which is removable

so it's easier to fix / fsck by simply removing the microsd and doing the check into another linux machine for example.

Whereas if it's not inverted you have to do that on the internal storage partition from the recovery / command line

You can also more easily restore/backup/recover by simply having a clean working copy of your microsd on hand too.

Can also restore partial content from the sd onto another and so on.

Much more versatile and safer / easier to fix once you understand the process imho.

Well yes, that's why it's listed as one of the storage inversion procedure step :)

(That is /data in the procedure without the inverted storage recovery)

What you need to understand is that after the reboot you definitely get an ext4 filesystem mounted in place of sdcard1.

So it will obey ext4/unix filesystem permissions.

When an app writes a file/dir in Android on ext4 the owner/group will be the app.

As long as it's only that app that needs to access it it'll be fine.

But other apps won't be able to access it unless they have root access or that you change the permissions/owner-groups on the files/directories.

If you don't care about finetuned permissions / security, you can (re)-run the chmod -R 777 at the sdcard1 dir

or chown on the files/ directories that needs sharing between apps as needed.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] inigoml:
Tim, inside openvpn data folder there is an openvpn executable that could help in order to understand what's happening. It needs to load some libraries. I will try to exec manually when I'm at home to see what error openvpn returns.

It could also be a permission problem although I think I checked /dev/tun and permissions were correct for "vpn" group. If openvpn uses this group there should work.

By the way, we could test with a chmod 777 over /dev/tun... I will test this night.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] carkev:
hi,

my TF101 currently has latest Stock rom, and I have rooted it and got Rogue recovery also.

last week I tried this rom and it installed fine except that I could not get it to 'see' my external sdcard, so in a panic, I uninstalled it all.

since I really did want to upgrade my stock, I also tried a CM 10 rom, but with that even my dock storage and USB ports did not work

having backed up my stock rom, I installed by first wiping the cache, dalvik cache and doing a factory reset, as I always do.

I would love to try this rom again, and have tried my best to find out in the thread what I may have done wrong, but have not come up with the answer.

the only thing I have spotted is that in the OP is quite clearly says (in red) format /system.

I did not do this with my first attempt as I could not see that option in Rogue -perhaps this is why I had a problem later?.

can anyone advise how one does format system, and if this is where I went wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] EmbGuy:
I have not tried this ROM yet as it is still in the early development. But I installed the 4.3.1 KK last week. I am using TWRP recovery which does not have the format function neither. I skipped the "format /system" at recovery. Everything are running fine. I like to know how the "format /system" is done in recovery too. Please help. TIA
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Theziggy:
Does anybody have a list of launchers whoh don't use system rendering?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gadgetrants:
Just a quick thought in response to your "early development" comment -- and these are my own 2 cents -- others here may feel differently, but: my sense of timduru is that he is an unusual developer in at least two ways. First, as you can already see a few posts before this one, he is a highly responsive developer that is always accessible. He has an excellent sense of who is using his ROM, what their issues are, and what needs to be changed/improved. Second, he also does a considerable amount of testing, and doesn't post a ROM unless he feels it's ready for consumption. I've been around since Team EOS (which if you think about it, is just months ago), and I can probably count on one hand (if any) the times a ROM update went out, followed shortly after by a "OOPS DON'T INSTALL IT" message.

tl;dr Don't be misled by terms like "stable" and "dev" versions, as far as KatKiss-KitKat is concerned. If Tim puts it on the table, it's all good.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] carkev:
well said Matt! ....

in all the time I have benefited from the great roms & work of the developers here at XDA, ALL the problems I have met have been of my own doing

(as you may have noticed in my post no.748 on p.75!)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kevria:
The issues I had a few pages back ended up not being ROM related but were related to the recovery I was using (TWRP 2.6.3.11). For some reason formatting system, data and the caches didnt actually clear them out properly so when I installed the build 18 it still had some data left over. Doing a factory wipe and install using CWM worked fine first try.

I guess the point Im trying to make is that issues that look rom related might not be and the rom has been solid for my wife since finally getting it installed on sunday.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gadgetrants:
Speaking of your dilemma, not sure if this will lead you somewhere useful but my first reaction was that you might want to remove Rogue and run TWRP as recovery instead. There's been some discussion off and on, not only on this thread but on the previous (4.3) version, and I think the consensus is most of us try to use the most recent version (I'm guessing it's 2.6.3.11) of TWRP. Give it a try and report back...?

Err...or maybe look before you leap...? LOL

-Matt
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] EmbGuy:
Don't get me wrong. I agree that Tim is an excellent developer. I am using his katKiss 4.3.1 JB ROM. I like to see more features like his KatKiss 4.3.1 ROM with multi-windows before I install it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gadgetrants:
Nah, and I should have been more careful how I quoted you. Only meant to reassure you that at least in my experience, things are not distributed here that are still in alpha (pretty rough) form. But if it's primarily about which features are working then 4.3 vs. 4.4 makes good sense.

-Matt
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kevria:

Yeah, well. So I did the invert storage process. And surprise surprise: it worked in one go, no problems. Lightning speed rom. Great work Tim! Untill I found out that I accidentilly still had my 16gb card in the microSD slot and not the 32gb. So now I have to follow my own footsteps back to the old situation and do it again with the 32gb card.

But man, the first look on inverted storage is EXTREMELY (yes, I used capitals) promising.

Sorry if this was covered, and I'm sure it was. I just did a full format on my whole table due to it not loading anymore on my old ROM. After installing this rom I noticed that the wifi, battery %, and clock icons in the upper right corner are constantly gray. Any idea why?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Maarten_0031:
Hmm, I thought of that. Could it really be that simple? Although I understand the principle of what hapens and I grasp the technique, I don't know the details. For instance: if some specific key is given to the microSD partition which will cause another microSD to not function properly
