Completed install of 10. format data took 30+ min. Then change filesystem to f2fs took 1 minute. Another amazing and fantastic trouble free [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] production.

I am in china so the setup is painful. If google cannot connect to itselt then it won't setup. Need a vpn for that. BUT can't install a vpn till I have a file manager. Tim can you consider wrapping a simple file manager into gapps or the rom. That way you can install downloaded apks.

Is there a way to disable internet checking on wifi connections? That "feature" is a royal pain in China. forces me to manually connect every time.

Hey

Quick question anyone having issues getting HW or HW+ decoder working in MX Player? I keep getting an error saying that HW+ is not supported and with HW everything is out of sync. worked fine on all LP roms but now that i am on a MM Rom its a no go

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MatteoB92:
When I install tim's rom, I always add CM File Manager.apk to the whole zip

For MM support in MX Player, you need to use the 1.8 version of the app, which has an alpha test version on xda at the moment. http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-1-8-0-alpha-test-t3239819

Thanks installed this version but no luck...are there any settings in the ROM itself that might be causing issues?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] just lou:
I was watching some videos tonight with BS Player, and it along with HW acceleration seems to work well with the TF300T and MM.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] walttheboss:
I will learn to do the same. Maybe even wrap the vpn.apk in there as well. Great idea. If its easy to explain please do so. Thanks.

hello again i have formated data (30 min) make it f2fs flash v10 and gapps and supersu same problem with facebook and some more apps but not all some apps install instantly in lollipop it was fine ps i am using the last twrp from kang i don't no what is the problem because the rom runs fast and some apps install just fine some don't ...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] walttheboss:
Probably just marshmallow. Took my tablet 6 hours to settle down. You could check to make sure no other partitions are f2fs. Check in twrp. Otherwise wait till Facebook catches up to [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION]!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MatteoB92:
What I did :

1) took FileManager.apk from another CM based rom or downloaded it using Cyan Apps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maartendekkers.cyanapps

2) placed it into system/app or /system/priv-app depending on how many permissions you want to leave to application, giving attention to creating a new folder with the same name of the apk in which I paste it because from Lollipop is changed system structure

Not else, till now has always worked (but I haven't tried yet Marshmallow because I'm waiting for TF101 release)

I'd grab the latest Kang while it's still available and try that.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nicolas Love:
It's interesting.

Found out this today.

Rotation tile works. But it works tricky.

So, when I press the tile once, it does nothing. But when I press, press, press, i.e. press three times or more, it works.

:highfive:

BTW, Tim, after my question I received an answer from Jack Palevich about Terminal Emulator and Android 6.0 Marshmallow. He said that "Terminal Emulator works with Android Marshmallow on my Nexus 6." So, there must be something in KatKiss Marshmallow.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] walttheboss:
Up and down volume work well here. (v10 f2fs data clean install) It auto switches to music volume from alarm volume as well. Make sure the left side of your tablet is firmly clicked into the dock. Check for stuff in the connector. Seems like maybe a hardware issue.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ringdingx:
All mine work as they should, when they should (ex: defaults to media volume if a video or audio app is open, defaults to control alarm volume on others)... however i may be the one person that left /data as ext4 so i also assume my kernel is different, but kernel changes on lollipop versions never effected the HW keyboard (for me). For those reasons, i agree with [MENTION=791341]Kunming[/MENTION] that it sounds HW related -- have you tried docking and re-docking with the tablet on and while sleeping, plugged in and while not plugged in? Looked for dust or crud on the contacts? Cleaning the contacts with newspaper won't hurt. Little things to try, to rule out.

MAYBE look in Settings -> Language & input -> and be sure "asusdec" is chosen at the bottom under "Physical Keyboard" (it should say it's set to that and should say "default" under it, but maybe it was changed. There's just that ONE to choose from via radio button (on my 010). Sometimes i get buzzed and wake up finding i changed the wackiest things.

I agree, just lou. twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2.img is the newest and people love it. Seems to fix a buncha stuff for us 300 owners. I don't think there are plans to pull it (or the older versions) so "while it's still available" should be a long time....

But why wait? 2331 dl's of the newest version so far, and the guys that made/maintain it do it for US. Super nice of them.

twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2_signed.zip (Flashable from TWRP)

Hello all.

Since i have read of problems on this thread (especially with formatting/changing file systems) and a common solution is to use the infamous "KANG TWRP".... why not try it?? I for one would have to hook my tablet up to a POS Win7 box 2 floors down running a Riva128 PCI gfx card, 512MB of non-DDR ram, and use the fastboot over VNC from my macbook. Maybe there are others like me? I talked to lj50036 about how twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2.img was being recommended here and seemed to be fixing problems, and as he knew of my n00b skill-set and junky fastboot rig, he was kind enough to make a FLASHABLE "twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2_signed.zip" for me, and said to post it, as there may be others that can flash from TWRP but don't have fastboot/ADB.

So here's how it is done: (n00b friendly steps rated n00b to Everyone)

1.) Dowload attached zip; Use ES file Explorer to copy the zip to your /sdcard from fastbootless laptop/PC/macbook via SMB. Or DL it via tablet browser, USB sneaker-net (which ever way). Just make sure it is on your /sdcard somewhere easy to find.

2.) Reboot to recovery by holding power, then long press where it says "long press to reboot into recovery". This will get you to? YES. Your current TWRP/KANG TWRP recovery. OPTIONAL: I made a backup, but it was overdue. That's your call. Then, I hit the back arrow to get to main menu. Ignore this part if you needent want to backup.

3.) At main menu just touch "INSTALL" and navigate to the twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2_signed.zip , select it and swipe to flash it. It will pass signed verification. If not, abort.

4.) When done flashing, don't hit wipe cache/dalvik, but hit REBOOT SYSTEM (don't try to reboot back to recovery).

5.) Once you are back into your TF300T KatshMallow (Or Zombi-POP) ;) you can repeat step 2 to check out or use the newest KANG TWRP 2.8.7.2 exclusively for the TF300T.

The "official TF300T KANG TWRP" thread is HERE: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479

and has older versions, changelog, one flashable zip (older). There ARE some pre-reqs like bootloader ending in 27.5 or a few other numbers (mine was *27.5-2013nnn I think)

so it is a good place to READ as well

.

Thanks for packing the NEWEST KANG TWRP to a flashable .zip, [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] !! I for one really appreciated it.

Will post it here, as i don't think its posted anywhere. EDIT: it's now been posted to https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087004042 as well.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] KritonK:
Answering my own questions:

I haven't seen an answer to this one, but as I got a "thank you" from Tim for a post where I wrote that "as mentioned in the first post in the main thread, NTFS & Exfat support have not been implemented yet", I assume that this statement is correct, and that therefore NTFS/exFAT support will be added at some point..

Apparently it was removed on purpose, as it doesn't work with Katkiss 6. Given that, there is no point in installing the application from the play store.

After installing KatKiss and SuperSU, busybox 1.21.1-jb is already installed. Therefore, unless one needs a newer version (the latest is 1.24.1), there is no need to bother with busybox installers.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] henk-jan:
microSD 32 GB

Unfortunately the system doesn't recognize a 32 GB microSD card. It keeps asking to format the card but then I only get 16 GB. Is this a known bug?

This moment I can't use KatshMallow because I need the info on the microSD card.

Beyond this problem everything runs fine, smooth and without (other) problems. So if there comes a solution I stay on KatshMallow, otherwise I have to return to Lollipop.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] BrateloSlava:
32 GB microSDHC UHS - work perfectly.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] henk-jan:
Thanks to let me know. Did you format by the tablet or PC?

If tablet: which options?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rftimoteo:
Thank you for your attention.

I followed your suggestions and after cleaning the contacts, Volume Up and Volume Down keys are working as they should. However, I also noticed that Fn+Left Arrow (Home) is not working but any other Fn key combination is working (PgUp, PgDn and End). Can you confirm?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] BrateloSlava:
FS - FAT32, formatted on PC very, very long time ago. At the time, when on the tablet was installed Android 4.x.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ringdingx:
Just tried fn+Left and it did nothing--but not sure it ever did as i never use the fn key... my dock/kb has a key with a picture of a house on it... that

does

work to bring up homescreen. Since cleaning the contacts made it all work but one key combo, it makes me think that "crud" was your problem---i doubt it was a coincidence. Try cleaning them more (use newspaper). Or maybe blow on them like an old NES cartridge?? :p

Kidding... If everything but fn+left works now, i'd call it a win and use the actual home key as it sounds 99% fixed now...

Newspaper--what can't it do? :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] DoughMucker:
They work fine for me. Keep in mind that Fn+Left (Home) doesn't take you to the Home screen of the tablet. Rather, it will take you to the top/start of a web page or document. Just like Fn-Right (End) takes you to the end of a page or bottom of a document.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rftimoteo:
Blowing on the conector actually made Volume keys work but not Fn+Left. This time I doubt that it is hardware-related as they work separately, both Fn and Left keys. My keyboard is the Asus Mobile Dock which looks like this:

[IMG="Asus Mobile Dock"]https://dlcdnwebsites.asus.com/existone/websites/global/products/X2yMRt84LQmlqn8y/300T_Dock.jpg[/IMG]

I also have a Home key (lower left, next to Fn key) but it brings up the homescreen as it should. Like DoughMucker said, it should take you to the top of a web page or to the start of a sentence. It is quite useful but I can live without it. :o
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ringdingx:
Oh.... THAT "home" heh. Yeah that does work. Neat. Went back and saw on post #2 that you can pretty much make the fn keys or the top row keys do just about anything you can fathom!! Details under the lines:

Global Key Override/Shorcut Mecanism

Available in Settings => Dock => Add Key Override Actions
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] nilssongrey:
I have an Asus keyboard just like the one in your image, and Fn + Left arrow works, it takes me to the top of the web page - so I don't think your problem is with the ROM.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Theziggy:
I'm running a 64GB SDXC card on my TF101 so am sure it is possible on the TF300. Just have to format it to exFat first - though some users say it works with the original formatting.

I am using a 32 GB Card and Titanium Backup won't backup to the sd card, so I back up to internal storage and copy over to the SD card for backup. TV does see the card and the folder in the card but just won't backup to the card.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] UndisputedGuy:
Titanium Backup won't backup to the external SD card for me as well on the latest version of KatKiss. The card itself woks, but TB is saying that the folder isn't writeable

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] vitt76:
TB with 64GB sd card works perfectly )) (#10)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] DoughMucker:
To use your external SD cards with TB you have to:

a) create an Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup folder on your SD card and put your backup files in there (which is not ideal) or,

b) When choosing the backup folder location in TB, select "Storage provider: External/interal storage (click to change)", then select "DocumentProvider storage", then "Micro SD card" (you may have to select the menu to get that), then "Select".Then navigate to your backup location as you normally would.

Trying to convert ext4 to F2FS but got this error:

Unable to wipe '/data'

Unknown MTP message type: 1

Error changing file system

Should I format data first before going to advance wipe?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] henk-jan:
Last try before I go back to lollipop.

The micro SD card is recognized as 32 GB. All the files are restored by PC but every-time I put it back in the tablet the contents are ruined: some maps are there, most disappear and can't be written back on the card. (with USB connection)

I formatted it FAT32 and EXFAT: no difference . Placing the microSD with adapter in the docking station: same problem.

What else can I do to make the microSD operate normal?

Before anyone asks: isn't the card broken is the answer: yes. Replacing it by a new one solved the problem........

How easy can it be. Only curious the card broke after upgrading.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sergiolopezsan:

Which parts can/should I convert from ext4 to f2fs?: data, cache, system??

I have too agree, I ran CM11, 12, 12.1 then tried Katkiss LP and now run Katkiss MM 6.0.

IMO Katkiss 6.0 is the best so far, an put a new lease on life for the TF300t.

I just followed the instructions in the 1st post and formatted /data to f2fs, this rom is damn near perfect on #010

An I use almost all the hardware features with no issues, microSD, SD an USB on the dock, wireless, bluetooth, camera, even play the odd game.

Cant thans Timduru and the devs enough, awesome job guys

Does f2fs make a significant speed difference? I never really got around to trying that out....I think I'm on whatever the default is, ext4 or something.

Edit: After researching I found out more about it...but still a question. Do I need to change my SD card as well if I change internal?

I can see my MicroSD ok with ESExplorer in rooted mode.

It's mounted under /mnt/media_rw/XXXXXXXX

XXXXXX usually being a number.

There are massive changes in Marshmallow in the way the storage is handled.

Not sure fully yet if it's working the intended way or not,

but it seems that everything is separated/virtualized between apps.

(I had added different hacks in previous KatKiss versions to drop that limitation on the external cards, but will most likely need some work to bring that back into M)

Also, the Apps need to request access to the storage when they need to access it

at runtime

,

compared to before where they needed only to declare the permission in their package.

Otherwise android will not grant the permission.

So most apps needs to be updated with Marshmallow support to get correct storage access I'd say.

Great work - what type of flash coming from 5B Timduru?

Also - can see my SD card with the built-in SD card explorer, but ESExplorer, TitaniumBU can't see my SD card at all. Not sure if I like the restricted access - seriously don't think it is going to suit me - I liked to be able to copy/paste/edit form SD card to Internal Storage quickly. It has certainly thrown me a curveball. You can copy and paste from the eternal card but n a very roundabout way.

More official (confusing) info from Android re. storage changes HERE

More - I can access it in ESExplorer in Rooted mode - but TitaniumBU can see the card but can't open it - so how am I going to reinstall my apps and all the data (I have a workaround in my head but it is so much extra work. Wonder when all the app providers will have Marshmallow support too - maybe it is too early for me to move.

Re installation of 5B, had an error at first attempt - symlinks missing. Tried again and got it done. Some playstore complaint messages. A reboot seemed to sort it.

Think it is time to open a Q&A page Mr Tim

Update

I was able to create a link to my SD card on the desktop using ESFilexplorer - then copy my saved Titanium Backup folder to the internal SD card. Am restoring apps now - seems very slow. Will persevere with Marshmallow but I know that a few of my apps that used to store on the external SD card will be broken

Update 2

Still updating - some apps don't install or cause TitaniumTB to stall - very very very slow reinstall - compared with moving from KK to Lollipop. Then all my data etc to install on internal card too. Am thinking of just experimenting with Marshmallow to see if I like it since I don't use the tf300 as a main driver
