Lollipop is great but Im back to KitKat KatKiss #36. Its just so damn fast and responsive. I was thinking about getting a TF300T just because Tim got one but Ill skip 1 generation, till Tim gets a new device. For now Im still fine with the TF101 and KitKat. Only thing missing is screen mirroring. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nicolas Love:
Thank you for the answer, Tim. But it is not as simple as you think. Sometimes, when I press home button short time, system thinks that it is long, but I already started to do other things, what system understands as swipe up.

The best solution imho is to be able to disable this function. But If you cannot do it, I suggest you to lengthen the time of system reaction to long press.

But don't worry. I understand that you have higher priority tasks and more important things to do in the system. It's fine. Keep doing the good work.

For me it is the opposite.

After I moved from KitKat to Lollipop, everything became faster and smoother on my tablet.

One example. It was many lags during watching videos in KitKat in The Weather Channel app and on YouTube. But in Lollipop watching videos in both of those places became perfectly smooth. Also colours became more natural.

It seems like video hardware acceleration started working in Lollipop.

I strongly suggest you to try Lollipop again. And not only because of faster work, but also for much better and more convenient UI.

I use my tablet in daily tasks since 2012 just because Tim does perfect job. If he stops making updates for TF101, and next Android will be the first system which will not work on this device, I will leave my lovely TF101 for a newer device. But it will be very painful for me. This is a great era in my life. I've been in many places with TF101 and done a lot of good things.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sronweb:
Thanks. For sure I will try LP again. Several posts basically are reporting the same problems, some reports that with overclocking is acceptable, I don;t know if you have a standard configuration, etc. This information might be useful for other users to find the recommended settings.

Of course no complain or any negative comment to Timduru and anyone is helping.

Guys help me out i need to overclock the the stock ICS rom but i cant find a kernel for it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rbaucom:
Hi Tim and everyone.

Tldr, fstrim issues?

Tim ould it be a fstrim problem?

When does your rom check for that? Can you incorporate that command during the install from recovery(I doubt it)?

Or include an app that can check it with a note saying run this.

(and I'm a long time lurker here so Tim if I'm off base please forgive me)

Has anyone with these lags tried running the adb command or a fstrim app?

My scenario was the exact same with lollipop. Unusable.

(sorry Tim i felt like I was betraying you and your hard work!)

I went back to the kitkat slower but stable non linerao one for games.

My silly offline rpg games for the first time ever stuttered.

I began to think it might be failing memory or laggy memory. I downloaded a free fstrim app and ran it and included the system.

11 gb laggy on data

100 MB on system partion.

If trying the app include the system partion.

I have not tried this with Tim's lollipop as with the exception of Screencast (and chrome yes I know it won't work) everything else JUST WORKS.

Tim once again thank you for everything.

Wish you Tim had the Asus padfone latest series (and on my carrier) I'd love that!

Edit: here is the link to what I ran on my tablet.

Check out "Trimmer (fstrim)"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fifthelement.trimmer
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Storage (fstrim) and Database optimization

:

Fstrim is native since 4.3 and will happen in the background if your tablet is idle / sleeping and that your battery is > 70%

There is also a script to run it manually in the rom: /etc/kat/optimizestorage

To optimize the Database: /etc/kat/optimizedb

To run both, open a terminal and run:

su

/etc/kat/optimize

Reading instructions on post 2 helps ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rbaucom:
Lol Rofl and I'd be red faced if I wasn't laughing ? so hard, and once again my apologies.

Tim is the man.

Somehow I had forgotten that about fstrim instructions.

Nothing like giving instructions the 2nd time on how to 'make a wheel'.

So anyone who is lagging ACTUALLY Try Tim's instructions?

You might have missed this post from a couple weeks back:

I also found this post really helpful:

-Matt
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
Any changes?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] opensourcerer:
I have, it seems to help for a little while, but it does not solve the problem, after leaving the tablet off, it becomes laggy again. I guess if you are ready to wait the optimization to complete (usually more than 10 minutes) each time you turn on your device, then everything is great...

Now, this may indicate that fstrim is not running on the background in my tablet, I will check that.

The bottom line so far for me is that with storage inverted, a fast microSD and KK, my tablet was VERY usable. I was excited to use LP, but not so much later. No complaints, I will quietly go back to KK, just my two cents.

hey guys, i can't install this in my tf101

here it is the error

When I select "choose zip from sdcard", the following happens...

-- Installing: /sdcard/KatKiss-5.1_023.zip
Finding update package...

E:Error in /sdcard/KatKiss-5.1_023.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted.

I have katkiss 4.4.4 instaled, what can be the problem??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wn1ytw:
You do have TWRP 2.8.1.1 installed? and did you follow this? from the OP:

Make sure you do a full wipe the first time you install the rom

If you get error code 972 when installing an app in the PlayStore, make sure that you format /data

(wipe doesn't format)

The first boot after a rom flash is slower than with 4.4.4 and can take a few minutes as ART is slower than dalvik to optimize the applications, but is faster after the 1st time.

(First boot takes ~2-3 minutes without gapps and 5+ minutes with gapps)

Also keep in mind that after a fresh install, it might take a bit of time to get up to full speed as media scanner & google are checking/scanning and restoring stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] boss_y:
Download ROM again and make sure that you use latest recovery aka 2.8.1.1. And don't forget to wipe cache dalvik system and data.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] suez77:
I have team rogue, but i will install twrp.

I thought i could use teamrogue because i installed katkiss 4.4.4 without problems.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

After installing this amazing rom version, I'm facing with constant "google and play services error". I've already made a factory reset and installed all from the beginning but now the tablet is working very slow.

Any idea?

Thank you all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
New gapps for 5.1

New gapps for 5.1 available in the download section: gapps-KatKiss-5.1_20150606.zip

That should take care of the error 505 with play games too.

Make sure you do a /data wipe first before updating.

Then reinstall rom + supersu + gapps as usual.

I've also included the BookmarkSync apk to synchronize the default browser's bookmarks with chrome.

So no need to flash it separately anymore.

The new GMS seems to sometime have issues detecting that the wifi is up after entering the wifi info during setup.

So if during the wifi setup it displays the 'taking too long... " message after a couple of minutes, simply hit the bottom left arrow to go back to the wifi list, and hit next again, it'll then go through directly. :)

disabling/enabling wifi on the wifi list page works fine too usually.

Thanks for all of your efforts to keep our 2011 device updated, very appreciated :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nicolas Love:
You are welcome. It is great that I encouraged you to try Lollipop. :laugh:

I have standard configuration, mostly. But this is very important. I don't use gapps. I don't like gapps. gapps track you, they make your system slowly, they clog your memory. I like to use Free and Open Source Software. Sometimes there is no alternative to closed source software, so I use it. It is easy to sideload apps.

We don't need gapps. Everything is possible without gapps. :)

Maybe gapps are the reason of slowly system. I see most of people here use gapps.

Completely agree with that. Thank you, Tim.

I mistakenly installed CWM instead of TRWP and now i can't access my sd-card, when i go to "install from sd-card" it says "can't mount sd-card".

I already formatted the sd-card and used the minitool partition and still says the same thing, what can i do??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grofweg:
Download the latest TWRP, boor into CWM and flash TWRP. Reboot. That should do the trick.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] suez77:
how can i do that if i can't access the sdcard to install twrp
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] PRBajista:
Do you have a working custom ROM installed? If so, save it on the internal SD and flash it in cwr from the internal sd
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] suez77:
Don't have that option, only sd-card

Btw can't enter in APX mode.

Havent updated our tf101 for some time so took the plunge yesterday with this one. Everything is awesome! Props to the developer for keeping this thing alive.

One small, odd issue though...it gets stuck powering off and wont shut down. If I hold the power button, it turns off and then I can reboot it and use it just fine but again, when I go to power off, it hangs. Any ideas what this could be?

SL101 Owners Beware

UPDATE:

Sorry folks...I have an SL101 and NOT a TF101!

This TF101 5.1 ROM installed fine, just that when I slid the keyboard open the screen would shut off. I installed the 5.0 compatibility pack and it caused a whole bunch of forced crashes to apps...to the point of unusability.

Until Timduru comes up with an SL101 Compatibility Pack, I would stick with the latest 5.0 ROM and install the gapps & compatibility specifically made for it.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I did an update from Katkiss 5.02 yesterday. No wipe as indicated.... Installation w/o problems. Wiped cache and Dalvik at the end! But now, the Google Apps are either crashing (Gmail) or not getting internet connection (Play store, so I cant update apps either...). Utorrent is also not adding the torrent links... All working before....

Any suggestions? Or should I just wipe the whole damn thing and start over?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wn1ytw:
Did you flash the Gapps? This from the OP:

TWRP 2.8.1 is recommended: available here

Older versions of TWRP like 2.3.x won't work.

Backup everything !

Go to recovery

Make a full wipe / factory reset (you can skip this step if you're already on the same main version of KatKiss, if ever you encounter a problem do the full wipe and try again before reporting )

Flash the rom

Flash SuperSU if you want root

Flash KatKiss gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot

After installing lollipop since firts days too much lags. I have had go back to kitkat : no other ways i must waiting few minutes after press power to wake the tab.

I don't now why this. The first versions 5.0.x works fine but since 5.1.x it's crasy

:/
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dkn00b:
Not sure if the Tablet performance is down due to being old or it is this ROM. The response time for anything clicked is way too slow. Too much lag, and when playing audio through bluetooth it skips forwards really quick. Need to try other ROMs to find out now. Will have to stay away from this till performance issues are looked at.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] suomii:
I think it's the rom but I don't know why because goes down days aftee days. At the I've got big issues with play services perhaps it's the guilty ? Wit katkiss 4,4 no problèmes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
I don't have any issues myself.

On 5.1 did you do a full wipe and flashed the new 5.1 gapps posted a few days ago as instructed ?

everything is snappy for me, click on something is instant.

(unless you are like installing apps / heavily using the storage)

If it's laggy to the point of tacking seconds to open something, it's usually because of a problem with your installation:

- one of your app is eating the cpu

- media scanner scanning medias

- gapps issues

- storage getting slow: format /data is usually the best way to get it back into shape

- is your tablet deep sleeping correctly ? if not, investigate the issue and/or run regularly the optimize scripts.

- did you follow the installation instructions, especially : flashed the latest 5.1 gapps from the 1st post and supersu, and did a full wipe / format /data when coming from another android version ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] foopirata:
Hey man, thanks for the hard work!

Can you please point me in the direction of the optimization scripts?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DowntownRDB:
From Post 2:

Fstrim is native since 4.3 and will happen in the background if your tablet is idle / sleeping and that your battery is > 70%

There is also a script to run it manually in the rom: /etc/kat/optimizestorage

To optimize the Database: /etc/kat/optimizedb

To run both, open a terminal and run:

su

/etc/kat/optimize

major lag when hdmi connected

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] When i connect the tablet to the tv using the hdmi cable, the tablet lags very badly, everything takes a while before it responds.

Will try and send a logcat later on in the day

Update: after a couple of reboots it started to run smoothly again when connected to the tv via hdmi cable, its a random issue so most likely its going to happen again but its ok after a reboot.

Thanks for all the Advice, for now sticking with 4.4.4 of yours hehe. And yes I did a full wipe /format /data, always follow that. The performance issue was observed in other 5.1.1 ROMS too, and not just your ROM. I suppose if it is working for you then it should work for me too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] XRACER:
thank you for your hardwork

Hello just updated from 4.2.2 CM to 5.1.1_r1 KK

Did install latest TWR and SuperSU

did a full wipe, follow all steps, (just to get that out of the way)

ROM is running with no problems, and rather snappy compared to CM, however when trying to "restore" my apps from play they keep getting errors or not installing at all, i have performed the steps twice, but still cant get the app to install. Play store itself is working properly but any other app is jsut not installing. i get multiple type of error, you have to forgive me i actually didn't write them down i think they were 603 and 697. I did a quick search and everyone mentions that the play store version could be the issue.

I got the latest version from trusted AndroidPolice site but still no luck.

Any ideas would be appreaciate, Thank you

Edit- error is 963

SL101 KatKiss 5.1 Compatibility Pack: KatKiss-5.1-sl101-compat-V4.zip

Okie, for SL101 owners, I think I've found the issue with the previous attempts. :)

Try this one for 5.1 and report back :)

As usual it's to flash separately

after

having installed the regular rom+supersu+KatKiss gapps for 5.1 normally

And it is for the SL101 (Slider) only.

Do not use for the TF101.

Yeah, they don't officially support the device anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ProjectER:
thanks flamus for the quick reply. so is the failed installation due to the fact that it's "unofficial"? so is there another method I should use to flash the latest recovery? liky "flashify for root users", or nandroid manager, or rom manager? these have mixed reviews. any suggestions on a w/c to use? or at least a workaround? or how did others update their twrp? do I have to go back to fastboot on the pc? tnx!

XBMC on 5.1.1 SL101

I am up and running with my SL101 on Timduru's KatKiss 5.1.1 with the compatibility package and everything seems to be working fine! Battery life is amazing too!

I tried just about every version of XBMC I can get my hands on, especially the one that worked on KatKiss 4.4.4 which was the 12.1 Gotham non-neon version (or teg2 version) from 2012 or 2013.

I have even tried SPMC and it's the same story as Kodi, doesn't work with non-neon devices!

I really need XBMC to get up and running on this and I am wondering if anyone knows how to compile a non-neon version of Kodi or SPMC?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] flamus:
Nope probably a PITA. I have found only one version of XBMC that works for that. PM a Gmail address and I will share it.

This night for the first time the device started to lag, making surfing on both stock & Mercury browsers impraticable.

I had battery ~ 34% so database optimization wasn't executed on background, after some attempts using Cache Cleaner NG + SD Maid Pro I decided to reboot into recovery to wipe cache & Dalvik, now it seems again smooth !

P.s. I hope that your next version could definitely wear out this suddenly 'sluggish affiction' that some users spot :)

Hi, First I want to say things a lot for work with this old device.

Yesterday I booted my tf101 to see if I can do anything to it after seeing your post and there is something weird happening when I go into recovery its very unresponsive. Everything is superslow I have to hit the buttons 10-15 times for them to register, I didn't have problem like that when I was playing with it before getting into recovery. Any idea why would it do this? do I need to update the recovery? it is only a few version behind I believe its on TWRP 2.6 something.

Thank you

No, just reboot into recovery again and refash both rom and gapps. Clear cache and dalvik and reboot. Don't wipe anything!
