Follow the instructions and wait for the first boot

Android 5.0 Lollipop is the best Android version for my lovely TF101 now.

You probably do something wrong.

First, follow the instructions on the first page, and, second, wait for the first boot. It may take a long time. So, please be patient. But later you will enjoy it. The system works very fast and smooth. Lollipop is much better than KitKat.

Network Location works now

Hi timduru.

Network Location works now. It turned out that the problem was in the old version of Mozilla Location Services Backend. After I updated the Backend to the new version, Network Location started working again.

I know you are genius and you cannot make bad KatKiss system builds. :)

Yeah sorry, I caught myself after I posted this, felt dumb :silly: and began starting over. I went back and tried the directions again, /data won't format with twrp recovery still :crying:. Selected to install KatKiss-5.1_022.zip, and fails:(. I wiped everything before trying the install since I had those previous failure, but unlike the gapps-KatKiss file the KatKiss just doesn't even install, it simply fails. Tried an older version, KatKiss - 5.0_018.zip and failed to install too. I had to do a recovery to Original ASUS, to get the tablet back in working order. I don't know if the Recovery is failing to clean the device effectively or bad downloads from the xda forum links or simply I'm too dumb to recognize these aren't even files to be installed as a standalone and requires previous versions of something I haven't come across yet, but... I simply can't get /data formatted or finish a proper install. I've successfully flashed different recoveries, using the EasyFlasher Tool, but other than that, I haven't been able to get a different OS installed. Any thoughts :confused:?

LoL, yeah I'm working on it now. I just got 2.8.1.1 installed on the tablet. Was waiting for the system to do a backup... of a blank factory device :silly:, just saw it finish now actually. But where I got the other version it stated the person had modified the recovery to the latest version but never bothered to have the version number updated or displaying as a different one. Found it a little weird so decided to update it anyway. I noticed maybe one or two differences but nothing major. Hopefully it works now. Going for round... lost count, ha :laugh:. Well wish me luck, diving into this again. :fingers-crossed: Oh and thanks for your time and suggestion! :good: Keep forgetting to thank people sometimes, bad Omega.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Yes! It turned out that TWRP version I used was... "ancient" after all ;). After updating to twrp 2.8.1.1 it appeared to format and wipe things effectively. I was able to finally install KatKiss-5.1_022 and the gapps for it. I didn't do the root thing, just to see how it feels limited. I don't plan on messing with the tablet too much but now that I got the thing to install, everything else is tweaking to my liking and troubleshooting any bugs that come my way. (Expect to hear from me if that's the case :D)

Right now the tablet is working on its first boot. I know it's booting because instead of locking up on the Eee Pad Splash screen it moved on to the animation of KatKiss :p and what do you know, it JUST entered the setup screen :victory: (It wasn't that fast, it takes a while for this first boot to finish as reported). Well thanks for the suggestions and time guys. Time to dive in head first into this. :victory:

Hello, I have a BIG problem. I´ve done EVERYTHING and my Playstore keeps launching the infame error972. I´ve Installed the Original Rom from ASUS in my TF 101. Then, installed a Recovery TWRP 2.8.1. and works perfectely. BUT Even WHEN I DO A WIPE AND A format /data/System, etc and then install de lollipop5.1 and the "gapps-KatKiss-5.0_20141122.zip" file OR "gapps-GoogleLauncher_20141122.zip" file It keeps launching the damned error972.

I´M Loosing my mind! Help Please!

¡Good News Everyone! I´ve Solved de problem. I did what the Guide said BUT the guide posted in the forum should be more specific. I mean, I had to use an USB DRIVER to install the files. If I Installed it from de internal memmory I could never do a properly FORMAT DATA so it´s VERY IMPORTANT to use an SD card or an USB drive like me. In Conclusion, Problem Solved

OMG. Your recovery is an ancient relic of bygone times. You need TWRP 2.8.1.1.

Performance of LP 5.1.1_r1 - KatKiss - Lollipop #023

I have seen some folks report that Lollipop #023 is "laggy". I cannot agree with this statement, - I am seeing the recent builds perform equally or better than KitKat #036. I get an overall consistent Quadrant score of around 4400. No issues with overall or FPS performance. In fact playing Colin McRae Rally has never been smoother.

Lag in KitKat 5.1 @023

Hi.

I haven't tryed KatKiss 4.4 so I can't compare both versions. But I came from stock ROM and I feel KatKiss 5.1 is not too much laggy... Just a bit at most. As I can overclock my tablet, I have done it. I have pushed the frequency up to 1200 to ride out any lag.

I think the battery last near the same as before, but the tablet is more resposive.

Busybox

Hi all,

I have just installed #23 of the Lollipop ROM and although the ROM is working fine (from the limited use I have done so far) I have struck a problem.

An app I use, "JeppTC", is programmed to not run on rooted devices, for detection of this it searches for "busybox", "su" and "superuser". On the previous versions I have used of the KatKiss ROM (KitKat #34 and Lollipop #21) I have been able to remove "busybox" from the system/xbin folder but on this release #23 I can not remove the file. I have been attempting to move / delete the file using the root explorer of "ES File Explorer" to do this which is how I did it in the past.

Any advice or assistance that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
Your questions are just ... confusing.

It depends what you want to do / what nandroid partitions you are restoring, what you are talking about exactly.

Restoring a nandroid is restoring at the partition level so you basically don't need to wipe that same partition.

(although it won't hurt if you do it before)

If you wipe after restoring the nandroid, it doesn't make sense. In that case you are just better to do a fresh / clean install

just follow the procedure in the 1st post. do all the wipes / format then install clean.

As for formatting sd, not sure what you mean. But it's never needed to format the sd unless you have a problem with it.

If by "sd" you mean the internal storage or /data, then yes.

If you have restored a nandroid of the /data partition of a working rom of the exact same version than what you're installing , then no.

Overall my advice would be to just use titanium backup to backup your user apps and settings only (no system apps or settings)

and just do a full clean install / format

then restore your main apps only through titanium.

That's what I do, it takes only like 10 minutes and it works 100% of the time.

Just make sure that you have mounted the system partition rw in ES file explorers options.

Also make sure that you are rooted / flashed supersu.zip

Most deterministic way is to launch a terminal and type:

su (that should ask you for root permission, grant it)

sysrw

rm /system/xbin/busybox

I had released one, but it was not working for the 2 reports I got

And between the 2 were complete different issues.. so really not sure what was going on.

Might give it a try again at some point, but not much time currently.

Random reboots

After installing this rom on my ageing TF101G I have faced constant random reboots. Such reboots are happens even if tablet is just rests on table. However, I found a reason for that, when I've tried to make "ubuntu with android kernel" type rom. Such rom was a great failure, however it gives me some ideas. Well, back to random reboots - this constant plague (in my case at least) was caused by OOM, but the _real_ culprit is superSU. I am not sure is that a problem with a default one or updated via google play, but superSU processes are multiplies in dozens, eating all available RAM and then OOM kicks in, killing everything it found, including GUI and system-critical processes.

So, there are simple way to get rid of this RRs - just disable superSU and no RRs are longer linger around. You will, of course, lose a root privileges, but you can restore it (and hope that RR will not happens) anytime by enabling superSU.

However, it is not quite right, so the question is - Have someone faced similar issue? Is there a way to stop superSU from that behavior?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
The supersu caused reboots happens when you don't flash the supersu zip after the rom.

(see instructions in the 1st post)

Also for the TF101G, there's no Lollipop kernel zip, you might get sod with the included kernel when the tablet goes to deep sleep.

If you want to avoid that you need to keep an app that will prevent it to deep sleep.

There's a Kitkat kernel for the TF101G (to flash after the rom) so if that is a problem to have to prevent deep sleep,

you'll be better to use KatKiss 4.4.4
