it's because they set their size to full screen resolution without accounting the navbar .

So it goes 'under' the navbar, by doing so it's damaging the navbar surface, which is redrawn all the time, thanks to our old pre-JB video HAL it is not Harware accelerated in PhabletUI, so lag.

Most other apps and the default browser use only the app useable space which stops before the navbar, so no lag.

Hi Tim,

In interactive governor default value of io_is_busy is 0.

I ran some io benchmarks with io_is_busy 1 and got significantly better performance.

Is there any reason for keeping it's value 0?

Thanks

Tim@

With latest KatKiss, my TF101 works beautifully, we cannot thank you more for your execellent work.

I run into a small problem on adblok and need your help:

I installed adblock through KK toolbox. Now I installed xposed based MinMinGuard, which is supposed to provide advanced ad block control(for example, select apps to block ads ). There seems a conflict between the two adblock tools. I'd like to remove KK adblock temporarily to test MinMinGuard's capability alone. Besides ROM re-installation, is there anyway to remove the adblock from KK toolbox?

Flash that: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/app/AdBlock_Remove.zip

It's just because it's the default value, and I didn't change it.

I don't see much difference in benchmarks when I set it to 1, but I've been running like that for a few hours and it kinda feels snappier I'd say indeed.

Might be worth a try to set it to 1 as default. :)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been playing with the Bhaalutv, and while it works, the video streaming gets cut off after about 5 seconds and the app returns to the selection screen.

This doesn't happen on my stock nexus 5 (rooted).

Tested with linaro and non linaro builds of #29.

Anything else I could try to get this solved ?

Thanks for your talent

Dear Timduru,

I'm really impressed with the excellent work and constant improvements you offer to users of the old TF101. With your ROM, the device will always be at the forefront of the great tablets.

I wish I could repay you for your excellent work, but I refuse to use Paypal. If you have any application in "Play Store" let me know, I'll be in the front to buy.

Best wishes and thank you again. :highfive:

It would be nice if I could add more tiles to the notification bar, like custom apps. Is it possible? I think this feature was already in a previous version of the rom

That is what I meant but there is no option to add custom tiles like in xposed. For example an app shortcut

Google+ and Google Play Music crashing

Hi,

Awesome work, I love this ROM

Just one recent issue for me, Google+ and Google Play Music are permanently crashing on #27, 28 and #29, right after boot and whenever I try to use it.

Am I the only one? Any suggestion to correct this?

Thanks

Just to clarify, the charging light is a solid colour, but the dock is refusing to charge. It reads 0% on the tablet. Guess I should replace the battery.

i think it is not application problem..i tried the Xposed and install and enable immerse me but still, in the desktop and application, immerse mode still not working..i tried everything including the option in the power button options but no help..is it something to do with the tablet resolution or the dpi?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
What would be steps to do fully clean install of this ROM? Ive been testing various things on my v23 and I wanna fully wipe everything old and start fresh with v29.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Copy ROM and Gapps to MicroSD Card, Boot into TWRP, wipe everything apart from External Storage

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache

Reboot
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
Problem is, with v26 and up you cant wipe /system anymore! Im guessing to fully wipe everything, I first need to flash v25 like you said and then flash v29 over it without wiping /system. Just wondering all the steps needed :)

Im thinking like this:

Put v25 and v29 ROMs in SD card, Gapps too

Wipe everything

Flash v25 ROM

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot and let it run for while to do default things

Boot to TWRP again

Wipe cache/dalvik (NOT /system)

Flash v29 ROM

Flash GAPPS

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot to totally clean v29 ROM
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Of course you can still wipe system, TWRP is independent of the ROM

iirc Tim said you no longer NEED to wipe system as it is included in the ROM flashing process, something like that, but yes you can still wipe it yourself

Why ask if you are going to ignore replies and post your own method?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
Im not ignoring, but there is conflicting data on this thread about wiping /system to do clean install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Well do it however you like, you asked how, I told you, take it or leave it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] :
Atleast don't check the md5sum. The rom itself will search of it. If checked, I always ended up with a failed install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JerryGNYC:
Before replacing the battery, I'd try cleaning the contacts on the keyboard's connector. The tablet charge OK when you plug it in directly, or will it charge through the keyboard?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rufik:
Are you getting lags using stock browser with many tabs (7-10)? Especially with not mobile optimized www sites.

I've noticed that browser used to be RAM hungry, ex. ~100MB, so whole UI seems to be laggy as hell. Killing browser process helps a lot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
You dont need to wipe system on recent versions when you dirty flash but that's not what your trying, is it?

You want a clean flash so...

Just do like it was said, wipe everything except the external SD card where the ROM and gapps are.

You don't need to wipe system when dirty flashing because the ROM will do that for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] csb5731:
I haven't chimed in on this before I don't think, but I swear on a stack of bibles that I couldn't get 28 to install (coming from 26) if I wiped system beforehand, which is what I always have done in the past. I'd get some error, tried like 5 times, using a fairly recent version of TWRP first, then tried the latest. Somebody posted that they could only succeed without wiping system manually, figured it was a Hail-Mary but I restored a nandroid backup of 26, didn't wipe system, and 28 installed like a charm. I didn't even try to wipe system from 28 to 29.

It doesn't bother me either way, I'm just pointing out that I experienced something similar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
I skipped 28 and came from 27 > 29

Tim can correct me if Im wrong, but I seriously doubt you would need to have a lower KK ROM installed first before installing the latest

There is nothing in the main post suggesting this, and there is no reason for that to be true from what I can see

What about people coming from stock? Nothing says they need to install a lower version first

ROM is the ROM, you can flash it on an empty TF if you like

I always wipe SYSTEM, and I wiped system before flashing 29
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Since V26 /system is being formatted by the install script when you install the rom.

that introduced a problem with flashing the rom if you were formatting /system before ( as it was leaving it mounted) with a recent TWRP

All that flashing V25 was doing was that at the end of the procedure it was unmounting /system and so flashing the new rom after that was working fine. (as said at that time you could as well just unmount /system manually and that would have worked fine too and more efficient than flashing an older rom ;) )

Anyway, that problem was fixed since 28 ( it will unmount /system first)

So you don't need to format /system and you don't need to install an older rom before either.

Doing a clean install as indicated in the procedure in the 1st post.

factory reset.

install rom

install gapps

wipe cache + dalvik-cache.

reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] csb5731:
And you'd be right, but nonetheless manually wiping system did cause problems. It didn't make sense to me either. I didn't see the part about unmounting system beforehand for those versions.

Somehow I had missed that part!

Thanks for explaining it Tim.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
So using TWRP 2.3.2.3 would be the reason I didn't have any problems wiping SYSTEM first, it only affected the newer TWRP ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
Well, dont know what went wrong, but I did as you listed and now my TF101 is bootlooping on the "eeePAD" screen. I still can access recovery (TWRP 2.3.2.3) so Im gonna try again tomorrow. MD5 sums matched according to TWRP too, so those should be OK. Might try downloading again on computer, cause this time I used TF101 to download ROMs and GAPPS.

I also got weird error at the end

e: Unable to mount ' /staging'

Maybe that has something to do with my problem...

Edit: Well, I couldnt sleep so started testing again :)

I updated TWRP to 2.7.1.1, did FULL wipe (internal data too) and it booted up again! v29 is now running, Gotta see if it is stable again and start adding my apps back.

I still get that unable to mount staging error in recovery, but it doesnt seem to matter at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tphacker:
Does anyone have a solution to get the emotji in Hangouts working with this ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Theziggy:
This happened me too, I was coming from 26 to 27, wiped system, went to install and the install failed. Restored from nandroid, installed without system-wipe no problem. So I too, got the same results. Since then I haven't wiped system for 28 and 29.

Note to self - read to the END of topic before posting TheZiggy - please ignore the paragraph above - Tim and others have explained the issue very succinctly
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
It seems Xposed Framework was my problem on update. It does go deep in Android OS, so its expected. Now running v29 flawlessly, thank you Tim for excellent work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zedorda:
Timduru are you a transformer that goes from human to android for coding purposes?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxhaimbondxx:
Something happened to my TF101. My kids played with it for a little while yesterday. When they gave it back to me, it said:

"Failed to initilize Aboot

Unrecoverable bootloader error (code)". I can still enter recovery, but when I wipe/install, I get a message that it's unable to mount /staging. When I go and mount the staging manually, it flashed, but then couldn't mount /system. Anyhow, it won't load the OS, color circles jump around the hog forever.

After I wipe everything, I get unable to mount /system and staging.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
I did some research and the error about /staging aint dangerous and can be ignored. Did you try wiping also the internal storage? That helped me finally, lost some data but nothing important for me (you should be able to mount internal storage in recovery using adb if needed).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxhaimbondxx:
I wiped everything, except external storage. Then got stuck on formatting. Right now I disconnected the battery, hoping it will fix some issues. I'm pretty much a noob in this, however, somehow managed to root and flash recovery a while ago and update the OS from time to time. It all has been working great for months, until this issue.

Updated: After reconnecting the battery and trying again to wipe and install, I no longer can mount data, but managed to flash the OS and load it. Upon loading, it tells me I need to factory reset the tablet, it then enters the recovery, wipes something and loads the OS, telling me to factory reset again.

Another update: Something odd is happening. I was able to finally mount system and data and load the OS completely, however, after I went back to recovery to flash gapps, I can't mount cache.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
What recovery are you using btw?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tuborg68:

TWRP 2.6.3.0.

Is it possible the recovery got damaged somehow and just need reinstalling, if so, how can I do that? I can finally boot up, so perhaps I could download the new update over the air?

Back at square one now. After successful boot and restore, the tablet crashed and now I can't mount anything again. Can't flash, wipe or format. It almost seems like something hardware related.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] oldcpu:
Thankyou for packaging KitKat #029 (4.4.3)

I installed KatKiss-KitKat #029 (4.4.3) on my TF-101 earlier today, and thus far is working great. Previous I had #023.

Many thanks for packing this latest version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
Something fishy is happening on your tablet. Can you try another SD card and did you check MD5 on the files before flashing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxhaimbondxx:
Fishy indeed. I have been playing with it on and off the entire day. Sometimes it lets me fully wipe and mount all directories, install rom, boot and restore all the apps via titanium. After a while, it suddenly crashes and reboots and I'm back at square one. It almost seems like it's overheating or there is a short somewhere. I'll take it all apart, put it together tomorrow. Then I'll be looking for a motherboard on ebay. The only thing I can think to try now is to reflash the recovery. However, I have no clue how to do it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jimpmc:
You can always use nvfllash and restore it back to stock Honeycomb. That would fix any corrupted partitions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JustZaphod:
Thank you so much for helping keep this device alive, and your Rom kicks ass..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] treebill:
finally got around to rooting and i love this rom but i have two questions.

anyway to get a mouse pointer rather than the circle and is there a way to get the lock button on the keyboard to wake the device?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Theziggy:
I know that the mouse pointer question has been answered on here a few times - one is HERE

As for the lock button issue - I'm not sure if that has been asked before. i have a keyboard but to be honest, I very rarely use it, the tablet works so well on its own (thanks to Tim)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
Also, restoring all your old apps can be a problem too! Try install ROM and dont restore apps, then install few from Play Store and see if that crashes it also. I had to completely wipe my tablet too and install apps again freshly to get rid of my problems. Its a hassle...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] treebill:
On stock I am sure there was an Asus setting that allowed it to wake up the device.

I actually use my tablet like a laptop for writing reports and what not for college when I don't fancy sitting on my PC.

Just save a bit if time to wake it up that way but power button is fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Theziggy:
How much time would you save if the lock button woke the tablet as opposed to just clicking the power button? Do you type reports or use the speech to text facility? I would use speech to text if I could talk properly! I think it is such a good idea - circumvents delays between the idea and the written version of the idea
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
It wakes up fine with the keyboard lock button for me.

Sometime you just need to press twice,

I think it's when/if the keyboard is sleeping or tablet deepsleeping.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zedorda:
I wish this worked it is the one single feature I have always wished for and thought it was a no brainer but it has never worked. Even if I hit the lock button one second after the screen sleeps. I believe this is not a feature of all docks imo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] treebill:
Might be able to remap the button long press to wake the device? Will have a poke around later.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxhaimbondxx:
This actually may have helped. It hasn't crashed once. but when I rebooted the first time, it gave me an "aboot" error. However, when I entered recovery, I was able to manually mount the system and stage folders and it booted up fine. I have restarted and shut down a few times and every time it booted up fine.

Question, how does one upgrade to a new version of recovery? Does it update when you're installing new ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bytetemplar:
You can use installers from Play Store, flash using ADB and straight from recovery. I just downloaded latest TWRP that Tim has linked in first post, put ZIP on SD card (check MD5!!!), boot recovery and Install like flashing ROM.

Remember to double check MD5sum on SD card, cause if the ZIP is flawed, you get soft brick out of your tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxhaimbondxx:
Thanks, I already took a chance and flashed TWRP 2.7. It went fine, however, I still notice the same mounting issues. When I go to Mount in TWRP, I see that some folders are not checked like system and staging. The OS loads fine though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
The system partition is not mounted in recovery (by default), you only need to mount it (manually) if you want to add/edit/remove files e.g. using the recovery file manager, ADB shell etc...

When you flash/install a ROM and/or any recovery installable 'pkg' (xxx.ZIP) it will include an installer script which first mounts the necessary partition(s), then runs the update/install and finally unmount partition(s).

The 'staging' partition is used to copy blobs to be flashed/installed at boot and you should not concern yourself with it or any mount errors during normal ROM install/updates.

HTH,

-JR-
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxhaimbondxx:
^^^ Thanks for clarifying it. Previously, for some strange reason the OS would get stuck after the ASUS screen. However, loaded fine when I checked off all partition in Recovery, so I assumed that was the reason it got stuck. I also never got error messaging regarding staging before.

UPDATE, Again, back at square one. All I did was tap it from behind and rebooted and it won't load anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] boss_y:
HW failure?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zedorda:
Back on Revolver the ability to drag 2 fingers across the trackpad would wake the device but that has only worked for me on stock Asus built ROMs.

I wish you the best of luck remapping the key in anyway to wake because my hinge is getting loose.

strange split window

I had a good time with KK4.4.3# 029 until today when I run into the following strange problem.

While in system settings, I touched some buttons by accident(4th, 5th, 6th, not sure which). Now my home screen and setting screen becomes interestingly strange.

On the home window, status panel on the left side and notification pannel on the right. buttons on navigation bar go to the right side and in reverse order. However, all the widgets and app shortcuts are OK.

On the setting screen, setting window were cut into two horizontally, reflected like mirror image and then swithched their sides.

I did a shut down and the cold boot, but the bizarre remains. I do not try to re flash ROM yet, but I doubt that a dirty flash can solve the problem for some settings seem inheritable.

Tim@, anyway to get out of this mess? Can we have a rescue button somewhere to to fix strangely splitted windows.
