If installed this ROM without SuperSU in the beginning, and it worked like charm!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ddd3astra:
Now that you mention it, I am seeing more and more Wifi dropped connections (#009, kernel d-1). This reinforces my idea that the video-streaming problems I have been seeing are not problems with the codec, but problems with the network stack. Otherwise, the ROM is performing perfectly.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] just lou:
The ROM should work OK without it installed. Your root apps are a different story.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mo2002:
should I be selecting KEEP READ ONLY or ALLOW MODIFICATIONS?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] compact_wisdom:
Depends on what you want to do. If you only want to install the rom, read only should work (I never tried that). But if you want to change data to f2fs (or even just for format data) you would need modify.

Generally speaking, it shouldn't hurt to allow modifications as long as you don't do anything stupid.

I'm running build 9, and I'm unable to play any videos with Google play movies :( it says playback isn't supported on this device :(
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nicolas Love:
TF300T are different.

When I got my TF300T, I had GPS and GLONASS. The lock was very fast - second or little bit more. I was shocked! Cause officially the tablet supports only GPS. But It did have GLONASS. I checked it in GPS Test.

Unfortunately, the tablet became brick. I don't know why. It just happened suddenly. Weird.

I couldn't restore my tablet. Sadly, I got to know about AndroidRoot nvflash and wheelie, and blob and image files too late.

Now, the most interesting thing happened.

I got another motherboard for the tablet. Working motherboard to repair my tablet and use it again.

I took off the cover. When I saw the motherboard in the tablet, it looked different from the new one.

Original mortherboard has bright green colour of the board, and its processor has wide NVIDIA sign and is made in Taiwan.

New motherboard has dark green colour of the board, and its processor has narrow NVIDIA sign and is made in Korea.

Original motherboard has 16 GB of internal memory. New one has 32 GB.

This time I generated necessary files according to AndroidMobi.

When I turned the tablet on it worked fine. But I recognised major difference. It doesn't have GLONASS! Only GPS.

During charging power button has orange LED. But when the tablet is charged, LED is off. But on original motherboard LED turned green when the tablet was fully charged.

Things became more interesting when I had a chance to get another motherboard to try.

That motherboard has the same look as the new one, but it has 16 GB of internal memory.

I installed it and turned the tablet on. The LED turned green when the tablet was fully charged. But GPS didn't work at all! It's like it was not physically present. Strange.

So, as you see, all three motherboards are different.

Eventually, I stay with the motherboard with 32 GB of internal memory and working GPS.

I totally disagree with you.

It is better to write a thank message with a lot of personal emotions, than to use robotic and lifeless "Thank" button.

People! Write personal thank messages. It is amazing and lovely.

Hope you can overcome your TV dependence soon. Real world is amazing! Good luck.

Ahaha. You made my day. Thank you.

Regular TWRP is buggy. KANG TWRP works right.

Yes, it is. :svetius:

But I have to say this. Another thing is important too. The instructions should be smart. :)

My sarcasm detectOr is broken, but IF your "Personalized Thank You" was sincere, it was nice to hear--so--Thank YOU as well, kind sir! I DO feel better, and it was my pleasure to 'make your day'. However if you had used

the easy thank you button as well as your lovely, amazing written one i would be floatin' on a rainbow, feelin' the love from the Nicolas "From Up Above" Love himself. Also, i apologize for all this as it is way off topic. Better than reading the international news, for sure, off topic none the less. I'll take 1/2 the responsibility for that.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Rodepo:
I can understand how you feel. However, the "Thanks"-button is there for a purpose. It's a way to express your gratitude towards contributors without taking up yet more space in this overly crowded community. And that's the last I'm saying about it, because it's off-topic and I want to stick to the forum rules.:)

Back on topic: I flashed latest Kang TWRP , converted /data to F2FS and flashed KatshMallow #009. For unknown reason, I lost root. And when I reboot, I still have one app optimizing (this used to be 3 apps with #007). Did I overlook something?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] compact_wisdom:
Did you just flash the rom or also supersu and gapps?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Rodepo:
I did flash gapps. I wasn't prompted or warned by TWRP to flash SuperSU. Besides that, I thought KatKiss was pre-rooted. Anyway, I will flash SuperSU tonight.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lollyjay:
Install instructions in post #1. Flash ROM, then SuperSU, then GAPPS. TWRP doesn't prompt.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] just lou:
FWIW, I'm on day 3 with 023d-3, and so far no lag.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pe1dnn:
I wrote the following script for the previous ROM to show the problems I had with f2fs on KatKiss Lillipop: Link to KatKiss posting

The problem forced me to use ext4 instead since a hangup also caused a reboot after a while. Tim could not reproduce this problem at that time. Yesterday I switched to f2fs with this ROM (#9) and retried. Jack Palevich's Terminal app does work anymore so I used Termux this time (added /system/bin and /system/xbin to the path) which is one of the view terminal apps that work on this ROM (tried several).

Using the script creating the first 441 files goes super fast, but then it stalls. Switching the tablet off and on makes it advance again. Unlike Lollipop it does not reboot after a while. In the stalled state also other apps do not work like for example the browser.

Maybe this is causing a super fast tablet to become slow after some time? Anyway, for me there are still problems in the I/O system when using f2fs. I will keep f2fs for a while because ext4 has problems with completing the app optimization.

Changing vm.min_free_kbytes back from 4096 to the default 1441 fixes it.

vm.min_free_kbytes=1441
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Theziggy:
This fixes the problem people are reporting with the tablet 'slowing down'?

If so where do we make the changes you suggest?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ringdingx:
Maybe this was just me, but my tablet ALSO started "slowing down"... the screen turned black trying to open the Browser... it seemed as if maybe it was running the cores @ 100%... I just went into Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> and saw that there were tons of things synch'ing at once. Especially the Google+ App, and it's little sub-apps it snuck in, like Google Photos. I toggled them all off besides App Data and Browser, let the tablet sit a while, and it was back to it's full speed. Also the Play Store had "lost" the "My Apps" List (but it somehow came back) as well as my setting to NOT "auto-update apps", so i turned that off as well. When things are synching and trying to update, while i am running a bunch of apps, It cripples the poor tablet.

Smooth sailing ever since.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pe1dnn:
I don't know if it solves all those problems. I just know that for me writing 1000 files using the script goes very fast until about 300 files and then starts to interrupt and finally stop. Note however this is not a general problem, Tim tried this script on Lollipop and could not reproduce my problem in any way.

On Lillipop I had this problem too making me switch back to ext4. Now that I found this setting I also tried f2fs on Lollipop again. Changing vm.min_free_kbytes to 1441 did however not fix it on that ROM. I tried other parameters and found I need to change vm.dirty_ratio. Maybe this applies to this ROM too to make it more solid. I saw a commented value 40 so I think Tim experimented with this too.

So two new values I tried:

vm.min_free_kbytes=1441 (was 4096 in the #9 ROM)

vm.dirty_ratio = 20 (was 10 in the #9 ROM)

On Lollipop changing only vm.dirty_ratio was also enough, have not tried this on KatshMallow yet but I would not be surprised if that would be all that is needed. So maybe only change the second.

On ext4 I did not have this problem, but maybe that's just because it is slower and the ROM has more time for housekeeping.

For adventurous people: the kat sysctl settings are in /system/etc/kat/sysctl.conf
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ddd3astra:
Sadly, I am back to Lollipop. Vim Touch won't install for some reason under MM, and I literally can't edit with anything else other than Vim. My stupid brain keeps hitting the Escape button that isn't there - it is the back button instead. #030 is a great ROM, so I'm not missing out on much other than harassing a friend who just got a Nexus 5x.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] th3cr0w:
not tested enough time to tell if it fixes things, but I have my #9 with dirty ratio 20 and so far It looks a bit better (or placebo). Min free not touched.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] kfouzder:
Thanks so much TIM for the ROM, you are keeping the device alive. My 2 cents so far:

1. I started with #005b. Now on #009 (at least I was till the last night) since the 12th of November. KANG TWRP 2.8.7.2 by AREA51. Followed the installation instructions exactly as it is mentioned. /data was ext4 for the first installation, then converted it to f2fs.

2. The device felt a bit sluggish on the 16th, then within a day it became seriously slow, it was just crawling somehow. Terminal kept crashing.

3. Battery performance was like I could browse internet for about about 3 hours continuously without video. Note it was much better on your LL#30.

4. I took pe1dnn's suggestion for vm.min_free_kbytes=1441 and it worked a bit, the device was a little better in terms of response, however, it was not as good as it felt just after the flash.

I cannot provide a log at the moment as I soft bricked (may be fully bricked) it while doing some other experiments last night. TWRP is failing after the TWRP splash screen now and it is refusing comms/access to/from PC; for clarity it's not the ROM, I flashed some unstable stuff. The plan is to sort out the comms and then restore the device to Katkiss LL#30 as soon as I get some time to sit with it.

Keep up the good work. You are great.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] chrismine:
The three kernels tim posted seem to get rid of the sluggishness. I use the 3rd version. I get the best score on Antutu benchmark with that. Have not touched this settings. And data as f2fs.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] DoughMucker:
Hi,

I've done a fresh install of v9 (with a format of data). When I go to Settings-Dock-Add Key Override and try to override a dock key with a new shortcut, I get a "Sorry, Settings has stopped" message. Anyone else see this?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
works ok for me.

Maybe it's a specific key/action.

What key and what action are you trying to set ?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] DoughMucker:
First time through I tried to assign the wifi key to List of Recent Apps. I received the error after trying to assign the key. The wifi key was actually reassigned. However, now I receive the error after just trying to enter the Add Key Override Action setting. All other settings work fine.

I've tried clearing the cache and deleting data for the Settings App with no change.

Is there a file I can manually edit so I can add other keys or look to see if there is something corrupting the setting?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] johnweng:
I am getting the same issue with build 9. Going back to Lollypop #30 for now. Lollypop 30 has its own set of issues with video download but Google play movies doesn't work on #9.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
Ah yeah I was able to reproduce here, looks like it cannot resolve some of the function keys labels like for the wifi key.

Flash this it will prevent the crash : MM-Settings-KeyOverride.zip

(it'll display the keycode instead of its label in the current list)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] DoughMucker:
Thanks! That fixed it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nicolas Love:
3 bugs I've found so far. Hope they will be fixed.

1. "Backup & reset" appears twice in the Settings menu. In "Personal" and "System" sections. I think only one is necessary.

2. There are two settings in "User Interface" which exist but produce no effect. "Show Switch To Previous App NavBar Button" and "Show Split View NavBar Button". Maybe they should be removed until they will work.

3. In the Browser I cannot remove websites from the history. After I press "Remove from history" the link is still there.

Tim, if you don't mind, would you please make "Nav Bar Center Aligned Buttons" as default setting. Left aligned buttons are annoying, ugly and very inconvenient.

BTW I don't have any lags in the version 009. :)

Please write about your problem with brick to PM. I'll try to help to unbrick. :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
Are you still seeing good performance with this kernel? Was curious since I have now started seeing some lag. Well actually a lot of lag. Took a while but the issue finally hit me. :(

Wow! Promptly. Amazing!

MozillaNlpBackend doesn't work. The service I have been using for a long time. It worked well in Android 5.0 Lollipop.

After installation and activation I have the message "Unfortunately, Mozilla UnifiedNlp Backend has stopped."

Not sure if the problem is in KatKiss. Probably the reason is in the backend itself. Maybe they have to update it for Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Also, it could be µg UnifiedNlp for GAPPS-free devices.

Tim, if you have a chance, please check both µg UnifiedNlp for GAPPS-free devices and MozillaNlpBackend to be sure.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ringdingx:
slight problem

I made a backup, then flashed 010 over 009. When it was done, my brain said "well wipe Cache and Dalvik" so i did, and then from lj50036's KANG TWRP i then hit reboot system. All optimized rather quickly besides maybe 2 apps (61 & 64 i think).

But when i swiped to get moving, i got the white box saying "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped". I clicked OK (only option) and the same message came up about 5 times. It was as if it was trying over and over to load, but failed in seconds each time. So the Play Store, and i imagine anything else that needs Google Play Service, (haven't tried to reboot to see if that may help) won't run. No numbered errors. Then I opened settings and it said same message ONCE, but it is working now (settings that is). After waiting and not getting that message about the play services stopping, loaded Play Store and got the message 2 times. Never had this happen before, or read that it has happened.

Any ideas what could have gone wrong? If i click settings -> SuperSU the settings crash. did i need to reflash the SuperSU zip? I read that you can goto Setings -> Apps -> Google Play Services and click Uninstall.. but the buttons are greyed out. I can click the 3 dots and "UNINSTALL UPDATES" shows up, and all sorts of steps if that doesnt work... i read it a few places the long version was at https://www.androidpit.com/google-play-not-working it covers many things to try. I also added the "NEW" google app, and they say to remove it from accounts and re add it. So....

Has anyone got a suggestion why this is happening/how to get Google Play Services to Start and STAY on?

Thanks in advance,

RiNGDiNGx

EDIT:: I was advised to reflash gapps and superSU so i am going to try that to get google play services back in to system by lj50036 himself.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] just lou:
That is definitely your issue. You always need to reflash gapps and SuperSU.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ringdingx:
amazingly that did NOT work... setup wizzard kept failing

I restored 009 and playstore is really new.

So NOW if i do 010 (ROM) then gapps and SU like you said it always must be done... Thanks, just lou.

BUT do i need to wipe cache and dalvik when done flashing? I would guesss yes but not sure.

- crash app photo when i try to change profile photo;

- google now shortcut in home button;

- when you open appops it doesn't show the category, if you scroll it appear.

Two questions:

- any chance to update kernel to 3.4.x or 3.10.x? Is hard to do?

- when you localize media scanner filter to traslate it? :D
