Thank you for your advise.

I would say that the tf700t dont show the device before pairing, f.e. my phone. But my phone allready shows the Asus. So i send the pairing impulse out of my phone, in this moment my phone was be shown on the tablet. I confirm both, then they where/are connected. The JBL speaker has no Display, so i cant see the tf700t shown on it to send the pairing impulse.

In short words, i have to have a second device WITH display to connect it with the tab. Its right, that its also possibble to put more devices into the pairinglist, thats ok and no problem.

If somebody knews help, would be nice to know. Otherwise i will arange with useing a cable between tablet and speaker = )

K.A.T Audio

Here's the first versiont of the K.A.T app for the TF700: K.A.T_V2.3.0.apk

Only basic control for the moment, but it will allow you to boost the speaker and Headphones volumes. :)

I've not tested the input controls, but that might also boost the microphone or something.

For the moment you also need to flash this specific TF700 kernel: Tim_KatKernel_035-t1_TF700T_MM6.0.1.zip

(it'll be included directly into the next rom version)

Things to keep in mind:

- the K.A.T app controls the hardware analog amplifier of the audio chip

- android volume controls the digital level being fed to the chip DAC (ie if you set it lower than 100% it is basically decreasing your media signal)

To achieve the best quality of hearing: put android digital level at 100% then set the volume to your liking in the K.A.T app.

If you like to listen at max volumes be careful of clipping or you'll get saturation.

Basically that happens mostly if you have a media that has already an optimal digital volume, going over the chip 0db limit (when the value starts to turn orange) can start to generate clipping.

But that can be very useful for medias or programs like netflix that usually have a lower media level that is not maximizing the input level of the chip

in that case the extra +6db boost should provide extra volume without distortion :)

Another thing I discovered is that the TF700 chip includes an hardware band based equalizer, kernel has a few predefined listening equalizer values,

I'll try to add that in the next version of the app :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
You don't need a display

you just need to put the speaker in pairing mode, check in its manual there should be a switch somewhere or long press or something usually.

Then your TF700 will see it when you scan.

Volume Issue

Tim, I have had the same issue, volume that is, but I have found using KODI when watching any video, movies, recordings, live tv, that I can use its internal volume setting on the bottom right (when moving the cursor down there) to increase the volume. So anyone that uses that app should be able to increase the volume internally & set it to default for that specific app. Great ROM by the way. I used ot on both the 300 & 700 and it is the best.:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
That's still software / digital boosting basically.

Just try the K.A.T app to increase the hardware volume for such apps /media with low volume.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mqmeszi:
Sorry, I came from CM11. But, I don`t think you will be disappointed:) I recommend to use kang-twrp2.8.7.4!
[Asus Transformer TF700] zheega:
By the way, new brightness setting is awesome :) Lowest brightness is even lower than stock one. And smart dimmer now works properly. Awesome!

Don't forget to donate to the author of the ROM!

"Dropped event because it is stale"?

Hi [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION],

First of all I want to say thanks for this great ROM you have developed. My tf700 was suffering from random reboots, especially, when I was using it in portrait mode. Occasionally, I tried it with your ROM but until now not even one!

Anyway, the problem now is that I am getting some random freezes and I think am not the only one. [MENTION=5616255]Jamteck[/MENTION] called that SOD:

But it is not as after some minutes is getting back. I am using (dirty flash) the latest ROM #022, pico gapps and supersu updated to latest version.

Thanks for your time.

PS

I am attaching the logcat, around line:5589 and datetime: 03-03 21:28:59.544
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Nah, Jamteck posted a few posts below that , that he had found which settings was causing his issues (zram), and changed it back to the default.

Let's try not to mix everything up, because it's when it becomes very complicated to investigate ;)

You mean that it does come back after a few minutes in your case or not ?

It doesn't seem to be frozen "hard" , as in the apps keeps working in the background, and when you hit the power button it seems to register that too.

Kinda looks like something might be blocking the input event queue, and so the touch screen doesn't respond during that time.

Difficult to say what exactly, but if it started happening recently, you're usually the most qualified to find out what has changed on your tablet.

apps installed or updated, settings and so on.

Shortly before that there is some kind of error with your custom keyboard :

com.touchtype.keyboard

could be it that blocked the input queue or something,

blocking the unpiling of the touch screen events and the stale events error you see.

03-03 21:30:06.224 I/InputReader( 1503): Detected input event buffer overrun for device elan-touchscreen.

03-03 21:30:06.225 I/InputDispatcher( 1503): Dropped event because it is stale.

Facebook barfing too, maybe it blocked something waiting for information from the server.

D/com.facebook.appevents.AppEventsLogger(10139): Got unexpected exception: java.io.WriteAbortedException: Read an exception; java.io.NotSerializableException: org.json.JSONObject

com.fsck.k9 seems to barf too, but it's difficult to know if it's causing issue or if it's a consequence of the previous issues.

Maybe also check that you still have the supersu app installed.

The app seems to vanish sometime after Recent supersu updates and/or rom update after that.

Because if you have an app that requires root access while the app is not installed, I think it blocks for XX seconds before timeouting.

that could definitely block everything if the app is doing it on the input / UI thread.

If all fails try a full clean install after a format /data.

And go very progressively before restoring your apps until the point where your issue might come back , and then you should be able to find out what apps or thing you changed has triggered it back.

What an incredible support! :victory:

Thank you very much for the new brightness settings :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] samarahmad:
Will do so :) thankuuu
[Asus Transformer TF700] Brombaer:
Ok, thanks. I will check it!

Have a good weekend all thogether

Greetings
[Asus Transformer TF700] etruog:
Sorry for the stupid question... But how do i have to do a dirty flash? I'm still on V18 and wanted to take advantage of the new Brightness features :)

Just wipe cache and install the ROM or is there even more to do?

Thank you and have a nice weekend!
[Asus Transformer TF700] churninern:
Thats what I usually do. I do do a backup before just to be safe, and I also do all 3, Rom, Supersu, & Gapps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Daka689:
Yeah, I think i flashed with a note 7100 TWRP. What is a mainboard? like i need an entirely new motherboard thing? is there anyway to tether it to pc and do a diagnosis fix?

Chromecast cast screen function is not working. The app says it's casting and the screen on my TV goes black but nothing is shown. I tested casting with WatchESPN and that works fine. Any thoughts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] George M:
I have to echo what everyone else has been saying. What a great job on this rom. Like having a new tablet.

Today however I have something happening that I haven't seen before. Was doing some normal stuff on the tablet when all of a sudden it reboots. Now it is in a boot-loop. Wont go past the ASUS screen. Cant even get into TWRP. When I try to start it it also reboots into the system. I'm on v22. Was on v1 8 for weeks using a clean install, then did a dirty install for v22

Not sure where to go from here. Cant even turn it off, although the battery well die soon.

[Asus Transformer TF700] TacoNikky:
Hold down power button and volume down. You will see RCK, hold volume up and enter RCK(recovery). Then you will be able to do everything :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Samham47:
Nope. As I said trying to get into recovery also loops back into boot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] George M:
I've tried that. But right after the Team Win logo comes up it then reboots to the system and starts all over again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Then fastboot is your last avenue.

In this order of escalation you can try:

A. Reflash recovery and hope that that'll solve the bootloop, you could at least save your data when you can get into TWRP and then do a clean install. I probably woud run "fastboot erase cache" and "fastboot erase misc" before flashing TWRP again.

B. "fastboot erase userdata" and if that does not help "fastboot format userdata"

I have my doubts that this will solve it since it fails to even boot recovery, before it even touches /data, but still... this is one of the steps of your last option, which is:

C. perform a buster99 which is flashing the stock blob in fastboot and starting from scratch: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF700] mqmeszi:
I confirm the # 532 (@berndblb)!!!

The same problem was two years ago. I had bootloader error and no recovery

Please answer a few questions!

After the power+volume down-boot what is the error code? 0x00...8? Which TWRP did you use? I recommend to use only kang-recovery. I read somewhere before some of the earlier version of TWRP can damage bootloader. Use this:http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/recovery-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3049395

Maybe your bootloader is damaged and recovery as well. Flash a stock bloob which restore your bootloader and recovery

In fastboot:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase misc

fastboot erase cache

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\fastboot\blob (your path to blob)

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] George M:
berndblb, mqmeszi,

Thanks. I left it overnight to completely run the battery out. Right now it is recharging. To answer a couple of questions:

I don't see any error codes. It just goes to the ASUS screen and then reboots.

I was using TWRP 2.8.7.4 (I believe that is the latest one.) I went to that one before I loaded v22.

Once the battery is charged I will attempt what you have listed and come back to report what happened.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aldrouin:
Hi, thanks for the great rom. There is nothing wrong with it, most of the issues lies in the hardware for me lol...

It works flawless except for the fact that it's using the 5.x+ rendering engine.

I have a question that might seem dumb, but is it really possible that the maxium OpenGL Texture size on the Tegra3 is 2048x2048???? I mean it's not that old, shouldn't it be 4096x4096? (I'm hoping here).

For some reason, the laPresse+ app (local newspaper app) that I am trying to run is loading a layer at 2398x1500....

If it is the actual limitation, is it possible to try and fake it on my end?

I'm willing to go in the source code for the rom and freaking "fix/hack" it if it's not the GPU that provides the limit. if it's a register though, i'm screwed lol.

If you have an idea, other than contacting the amazing devs that forgot that all tablets are not 4096x4096, I'm all ears.

Thanks!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] manhart:
I had the same endless loop in TWRP with my TF700T too. I could bring back my TF700T after several days with this help:

http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/help/twrp-start-loop-tf700-t3040645

I could access the TF700T in this endless loop with ADB. I could not use fastboot, because the connection was not opened from the TF700T for this mode.

God works. Do you need help to translate complete in german ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] George M:
Well it doesn't look good. I cannot get to it with adb / fastboot.

When it starts I get the ASUS screen - no error codes.

After about 5 seconds it restarts all over again.

I then try to go into fastboot. In the upper left corner I see this:

Keydriver_not_found ... Booting OC

[Asus Transformer TF700] manhart:
I saw an unknown device with the name "TRANSFORMER" in my device manager (Win 8.1). I installed the "Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip" (find download with Google). I could access my TF700t with these drivers afterwards with ADB (not fastboot).
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
I assume you can dirty flash the new kernel though TWRP? Is that the only step (besides installing K.A.T app of course). I'm upgraded to #22 and it's running GREAT!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Well on top of everything else you are on an outdated bootloader....

Your problem has nothing to do with this rom, so this is the wrong place to discuss a solution.

I'd be happy to help you, but not in this thread. I'd suggest you go to the thread manhart linked to in post 536 - the problem is similar enough - post a summary of your problem there and mention me.

We'll take it from there....
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Yep
[Asus Transformer TF700] George M:
Well after hours of no progress, I plugged it into my pc once more. For some unknown reason my pc recongnized it as an android phone and I was able to connect via fastboot. I erased everything as noted above and installed the latest blob I could find. It was then able to boot into that rom. Yae, it was alive again. After that I was able to install the lastest TWRP and this rom and am now in the process of rebuilding everything.

Thanks all for you suggestions and help. It lives for another day.

I think #533 and #536 should be listed as a fix for this, 536 should be explained though as other partitions might be broken.

Wipe data too ?

​

after 3x flash, need to wipe data also ?

had problem with start up after dirty flash V22

I'm guessing!!! Did you format the /data before you install the v18 (initial install)? Did you change /data filesystem to f2fs?

Somebody some other tips?:)

[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
I've installed the kernal and KAT app. Thanks again for your great work!

If I understand the description above correctly the digital level is controlled by Android which would be the physical volume button and the KAT app controls the analog level output of the chip to the speakers.

If that's the case if I want max volume with this setup is to set the volume rocker to 100% and the adjust the volume with the KAT app? Could you cook up a widget for control off the home screen? That would be a nice addition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Originally the K.A.T app had a setting to link both volumes in cascade with the hardware buttons.

I had to disable it Lollipop because it was not working properly, but I'll see how it goes with Marshmallow or if I can connect it directly with the rom controls.

Do you use another kernel than the default one ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] birkination:
rom2sd & f2fs

I am slightly confused on how this f2fs thing works. I would like to make this ROM run as fast as possible, and I remember from before that the memory for this tablet sucks so rom2sd came out and made our lives a bit better. Now I see that formatting the /data partition to f2fs is another boost. Is there a way to have both? I remember from when I did rom2sd that I had to make partitions on my external sd card. Do I need to remake these partitions with a different format? Or does simply flashing like so: "rom2sd1.zip, the ROM, rom2sd2.zip, SuperSU, and Gapps in order without rebooting" (quoted from another post) do the trick if I format the partition in twrp 3.0 under the wipe tab? Lastly, should I format the /cashe partition to f2fs as well for even more improvements? Thanks for the help
[Asus Transformer TF700] ChefChaudart:
No, default one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Simply change /data filesystem to f2fs

then install rom + supersu + gapps.

I dunno then, I just tried it and it works fine for me.

Must be something else you changed / installed.

Just to make sure:

you have a TF700 and you are using the listed TWRP / gapps / supersu from the 1st post ?

And what does it show in settings => about tablet for kernel version ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jack Loos:
Succes !

It works fine !!

No need for rom2sd. Use Kang TWRP 2.8.7.4.

To get a quicker fix for the GPS, install the K.A.T app (the audio part will not work on the TF700T)

But go to install => and check "install GPS quicker fix & assistance"

then click Install

Reboot, and you should be all set.

It's not a zip file but an application (.apk)

You just need to click on it from a file explorer to install it.

you're missing the supersu app, most likely because of the supersu update ,

just install the supersu app from the playstore.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blackice000:
OK... that seems to be an easy fix. D'oh! didn't think we needed the app any longer with it in settings. Now I know!

Also, unrelated.....ES file explorer seems to create a new listing for the Dock SDcard each time I open the tablet after sleep. I have neither removed nor inserted any USB OTG devices. Why is it constantly asking me if I want this new device to open ES File explorer? Once, I understand...but not everytime with a new device ID.
