i cannot get any videos to play on v30, using built in video player or bs player.

I just get the error "video cannot be played", or for BS player it wants to install from the market the v7 drivers (which are already installed!).

This is for all videos, avi or mp4 etc, which on katkiss 4.3 worked fine

anyone know what's wrong?

EDIT: Looks like a BS player problem; MX player and VLC work fine :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
Okay ... Dont slap me now...

But to be honest Im experiencing freezes too when using heise.de app and teamviewer. All of a sudden. Only with theese two apps. Dunno what they got in common.

Also I realized that the tablet is heating up shortly before freezing. Tiiiiiiim help!! ;P

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Thanks Tim; using kernel 118 and so far no random freezes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Theziggy:
Why is the consensus to use a different kernel ?? Isn't it built in - we used to flash kernels in the good old bad old days.

My non-linaro is still running (I leave my tablet on constantly as it won't shut down - it freezes at the turning off command). But I want to know if is is my calendar app or linaro or both or V31 causing the problem.

See if that guy Piehti gets up and calls us all stupid again - I vote we should ask for a unlike button !!!!

Also for Piehti's info - Tim's installation notes say "Make a full wipe / factory reset (you can skip this step if you're already on KatKiss-4.4, if ever you encounter a problem do the full wipe and try again before reporting )"
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
The built in kernel which was Katkernel 117 was giving random freezes when opening apps or whilst using them this happened to me and other users, so an update was released to address this issue.

I used to have the shutdown freeze problem too, if you try opening the terminal and type

su (to grant root access to terminal)

poweroff (this command should power off your tablet immediately)

will this work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Theziggy:
Thanks re the kernel info - I thought the kernels were only for the TF101G - I don't see any mention of it on the OP.

The shutdown freeze seems to be quite common (search the KatKiss forums and the ASUS forums - it may be hardware based) - yours is the first answer I have seen to it - whether it works or not - I'll know when I try it! But thanks is given :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
You're welcome, no problem, yes the shutdown freeze is common, if what I told you above works, then try this post and in step no.4 type 'poweroff' instead of 'reboot' . I am using the same exact method and the tablet powers off without any problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Theziggy:
Thanks again - though the power off problem is no longer an issue that annoys me - I just put it to sleep - makes it so mucj quicker if I have to google anything :)

No, my major issue is with the stability of the recent Roms on my tablet - though I think it may be app based (non-compatibility with linaro) - this weekend has taught me not to take things - e.g. the perfect running of my tf101 for granted and also what a PITA it is when it doesn't. It also taught me that it can be caused by apps and not the Rom !!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Yes I was always satisfied with Tim's releases and never had stability problems with the rom, most stability issues can be caused by apps that is true..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MHotovec:
I've only been playing with this for an hour or so, but so far I'm super impressed with the ROM. I retired the TF101 months ago when I got a newer/faster tablet. While this doesn't make the TF101 as fast as the new one, it makes it much faster than it was. Previously Netflix was a slow and painful process to browse programs, now it zips right along.

I've had one random reboot, haven't tried to figure out what cause it. I'd been playing with both Netfix and HBO Go, so it could have been one of them. I'm using the 118 kernel. That's not a complaint btw, just reporting my findings. I'm impressed with anything that can bring the TF101 this far forward in the Android world and still run smoothly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] papars:
I've installed #31 with 118 kernel.

"Change hostname" does not work. It complains about wrong busybox. I've reinstalled busybox but still the same error!

EDIT: Fixed it. reloading kernel did the trick.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] domesdkg:
What recovery is everyone using? I've tried installing the twrp 2.7.1.2 for tf101 from this thread, but it borks my recovery completely. I tried re-downloading as well, so I don't think it was a bad DL causing the issues.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434422
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] yoh_anim:
First check, did you do a normal boot to kisskat after updating your recovery ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] domesdkg:
No, the system wouldn't boot. It just sat at the EeePC screen for over an hour and never progressed.

Also, I didn't have KissKat installed (I needed to update the recovery before installing it)

Now I have KissKat running fine on twrp 2.2.x.x

Is it necessary to update past there?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Berend de Boer:
Same here, formatted /system, and #031 locks up very frequently. Going to try the new kernel now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Taomyn:
I've tried both #30 (linaro and non-linaro), #31 without and with kernel #118 (fsync disabled), and always with a full system format/wipe/factory reset before installing. No overclocking. I left the tablet after I connected back to Google to download apps from the last time it was connected for any amount time, which is just most of the Google Apps (Gmail, Hangouts, Newstand, Chrome etc etc), and a few odds'n'ends like aLogCat, Titanium Backup (not used for any restores, just to "disable" the stock browser, AOSP keyboard and AOSP camera as I prefer the store versions), SuperSU Pro, FX Explorer. After just minute or two the device just freezes then a minute or later reboots.

Last night I just left it at the lock screen and this morning it was still there, and while I was still awake didn't notice it reboot. Didn't get a chance to try it again this morning, but I will tonight and see how it goes. Maybe there's something it needs to complete on the first boot or two. I've no clue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] PRBajista:
Anyone think that the gapps may be the culprit?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
FWIW, I haven't had any issues with #31 since updating the kernel to 118.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] garyngkt:
Yeah much better with kernel 118 thanks Tim
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] POWerSUrgeSW3:
That's the same recovery I've been using for awhile now, not sure how long... But I installed it when I was back on #29. Did not have any issues going to #30. And I've been having random issues with #31 with the new kernel (but I don't feel alone there).

Same here. My son has been using the tablet daily and has had no problems. Mainly using the youtube app.

I'm now wondering if its worth keeping 31, as it looks like those changes are reverted in 32.

Since #31 Solo PDF reader from playstore doesn't open PDF file anymore. Tried to reinstallare the app but nothing. At the end it crash. Now I'm on #32 and still doesn't open pdf. Actually it open the pdf file but doesn't render it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
You're sure it's not the app that got updated or something ?

I just see a Null pointer exception in the app ; it doesn't say much more.

Report the log to the app maintainers, it has the line number so they should know what is the issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cimbike:
Dirty flushed on top of #30 and everything is working fine as usual.

Thx so much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ckiikc:
No the app didn't updated itself. Before the app worked perfectly, after falshed #31 (or #32) the app didn't open (render) pdf anymore. In the meantime I've sent the crash report.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
In the playstore it says the app got updated on the 18th of July though, which is like the day after I released #31.

Try restoring the app version before the 18th, that will most likely work.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ChrisHG:
Tim, may I ask you about what happened with this "async fsync"? I see some people had problems with build #31, were it due to this change? Or is this "synchronization framework" supposed to fix it / work better than async fsync? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the whole thing and they're completely unrelated. ;)

Thanks once again, I'm also still keeping the tablet on my table thanks to that much room on the rom ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MatteoB92:
As usual, very good performance
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
I didn't have lock issues myself, so not sure.

Might be either Async Fsync or memory compaction after process exit

Memory compaction is taking a tiny bit of time everytime a process will stop, but should prevent slow downs after running apps for a long time.

Async Fsync is non blocking fsync, that will happen in background.

It will be slower than no fsync at all like it is configured currently by default, but smoother than fsync on.

well supposedly.

My best guess is that those who had issues either have many apps / services running / dying in the background.

Or have apps doing a lot of storage access.

That's most likely one or both of these condition that triggered their issues.

There was still a significant amount of reports about it, so better revert these as it would be too difficult to try to reproduce otherwise.

Excuse me with this rom I can not operate the GPS. Does not connect to the satellites. I have installed latest KAT app and I also installed Install quicker GPS fix + Assistance. Unfortunately I do not get ralcun result. Can you give me suggestions. Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Install the latest K.A.T app

Then follow precisely this procedure:

1) Location Settings

- Go to Settings => Location => turn OFF (top right switch)

- Turn it back ON

- Make sure you agree to let google access the location.

- Make sure the current selected mode is High accuracy

2) Launch the new K.A.T app

- make sure you grant it root access

- make sure you have internet access

- go to the install menu, Check the "Install GPS quicker fix + Assistance

- Click the Install button

- Make sure it says "Install Finished"

3) Reboot

4) Wait that it has finished booting and launching all the stuff you have starting at boot

5) Start your GPS app

outside with a clear sky line

, to speed things up stay in range of the wifi / internet connection.

Do not let the gps app loose focus

when it is trying to get a fix.

Do not let your tablet sleep

/ turn off the screen either.

Doing that here, the first time and with a cold gps start, and even staying in my house,

I get a 6 sat fix within 30 seconds and 11 sat fix in 1min 15seconds.

From there subsequent fixes takes about 3 seconds to grab 7 sats and about 10 seconds to reach the 10-11 sat fix

(you still want to let it sit outside for a bit after the 1st fix, so that the ephemeris data gets consolidated and updated to help faster fix later on)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] giannifalko:
I followed this guide but I did not get

results
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 11wallace11:
It was a very good call.

#31 was almost unusable and frustrating, while #32 brought back the smoothness - big time! I even reenabled transition animations ;)

I see #32 as a stable milestone, that makes me wish I hadn't ordered the tf300 :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] eriklinsen:
Hello Timduru,

Do you make a NON-linaro version of this v32 to?

Since my wife plays Farmtown and Clash of Clans on it the NON-linaro looks to have less hangups.

And could any of the changes in this ROM be a solution for getting the Horizon Go app from UPC to work?

Thanks for your amazing ROM, it still makes our TF101's a nice device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] belrik:
Shame, hope you can include async fsync in future as it seemed to make a positive difference coming from fsync_on. Tend to leave the tf101 sitting around the house where i cant see it so fsync is a must to stop fs corruption when battery goes.

Multiwindow with multiuser?

I finally upgraded one of my TF101s from KatKiss 4.3.1 to KatKiss 4.4.4 build 32b. I convinced my wife to try out the new floating window features. Well, I set up the tablet from full wipes and then set up her as a secondary user. I can't get the floating window to work under the secondary user. The side-by-side works, but not the floating windows. It does work in the primary user. Is this a limitation, memory issue, or should it work?

Thank you for all of your efforts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lucidox:
Confirmed. From what can tell, the floating window from the secondary user shows up in the main user's screen once you switch back. There's also quite a bit of unresponsiveness that occurs when switching accounts. I always figured this was due to lack of memory, but maybe it's related to the accounts mixing things up like this. Just a guess.

Using the main account, things are noticeably more responsive and floating windows work fine.

Reminders - How to Report

A few reminders are needed I think.

If people were following these simple instructions (link in my sig & in the first post) , we should be able to avoid 3/4th of the posts here, and save me and everyone a lot time.

How to report issues

Things to check before reporting:

- If it's a general question or if it is not specific to this rom ask in the Q&A section

- make sure you have read all the tips in the first posts and searched on the forum before reporting an issue.

- Make sure you follow exactly the install instructions

- Make sure you are using the recommended gapps

- Try to reproduce your issue after a full wipe and right after flashing and before restoring anything

- Wait that the cpu usage is down to close to 0% for a few seconds before proceeding with testing.

- Check that it is not already listed in the known issues.

- Try the -NonLinaro version of the rom

Performances issues:

Keep in mind that coming from a full wipe / factory reset, there are a few cpu and disk io tasks that are going to happen:

- Mediascanner service is going to rescan all your medias, which can take from a few minutes to a few hours or days if you have many

- Google will restore / sync things.

So make sure that it is finished and that some app is not eating the cpu or disk io before reporting.

What to send in your report:

- Make sure you describe exactly what happens before/during/after the issue.

- If you can reproduce it, write a step by step way of reproducing it.

- If your issue is a performance issue, explain in details what you define as such

(is it taking time when you click , is it that it seems to have a low fps ? ..)

Make also sure you indicate the following:

- which rom/version are you using ?

- which kernel are you using ?

- which gapps version are you using ?

- did you follow the exact procedure listed above for flashing ?

- did you restore any of your applications / settings ?

Reproduce the issue then run these commands in a terminal:
