[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Something is just not right here. Let's have a look at your partitions first. In Terminal Emulator run

cat /proc/partitions

and post the output.

Then re-download the rom zip, run a file hash on the zip and post the md5 and file size.Do not use the md5 on the download site, run your own.

Re-download the gapps you are flashing, do the same as above. Then lets compare what we got here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smodak:
I have flashed katkiss nougat since then and although it does not show the above problem, it runs quite slow. I will flash mm again tonight and post the results you suggested. How do I run an m5? Thanks a lot for helping me out. I am quite a newbie when it comes to these things.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smodak:
So, I re-downloaded Katkiss MM and Gapps and ran file hash and saw differences in hash between the old and the new files.

Original

Katkiss mm - f533048149af3e5a539349aadf43b88d

Gapps - c914ae229e9b00e85b6f6b30fc09145c

Re-downloaded

katkiss mm - f45f1b3d67b313296348293bc8357114

Gapps - ebe3e6aa5d540d72f4001cc2aae04eb3

I reflashed (following all the original steps ) using the newly downloaded files and I do not see the error anymore. So my problem is solved.

Below is the cat /proc/partitions output from my current installation (in case you find something) - does this look normal?

u0_a51@tf700t:/ $ cat /proc/partitions

thanks [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] for a great rom! my tf700 tablet had been sitting idle for a long time. i was about to give up on it but then decided to give this rom a shot. it brought my tablet back to life and now i'm using it again. thanks for the excellent work and continued support for this tablet!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricardjs:

hi

thanks for this rom. nevertheless, i noticed my TF700 is so laggy and slow (when i launch app, browse over internet, etc. ) , is it inevitable for such an old tablet? i wish i had choose an ipad 4 year ago ..

i notice also a lot of reboot, when many applications are running
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
And you think an iPad would be lightning quick and buttery smooth after 4 years???? Go read some iPad forums... :angel: And with a iPad there would be practically nothing you could do about it! :p

Lots more options on android and I suspect you skipped a few..... Did you install as described and required: full format of data, conversion to f2fs, nothing restored from an earlier install????
[Asus Transformer TF700] paralight:
thx berndblb , actually i never owned an apple device.. so, ok you 're probably right. my apologies , i skipped the "conversion to f2fs" procedure, it could be the problem. I'll reinstall with the whole instruction
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricardjs:
It is the problem... F2FS conversion is what solves the laginess ;)

Thank you very much for your answer.

[Asus Transformer TF700] msssm:
I have to admit, as I often complained about the TF700T on different ROM threads, eventhough KatKiss is the best Rom so far, the TF700T is still incredible slow, sometimes even the home screen takes minutes to appear on a black screen. I guess the TF700T has major issues with I/O as soon as there is some I/O, it takes long time to process. The same Rom on our TF300T runs smooth, and the TF300T in general is a lot faster than the TF700T.

So I'm going to sell the TF700T with dock soon, but I don't know of any reasonable successor with hardware dock, SD and usb ports, not sure it a TF701T would improve that a lot compared to the TF700T.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
Until this ROM my experience with the Asus TF700T was so bad that I refuse to buy ANYTHING with the Asus brand on it. I feel like I was totally ripped off. I traded in a TF201 on the 700 a week after I bought it because I figured it would be an improved product. Boy, was I wrong. It's a shame too because I have a lot of product from Asus, motherboards and routers, but no more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Shark Falcon:
So I recently had cyanogenmod on the TF700t in hopes to save the tablet. I had the Jellybean file and it worked well at first but began bogging down.

I had KatKiss Marshmallow installed recently and so far none of what I was dealing with at all! So far I am AMAZED and I hope it keeps working properly. I love your outlook on the K.I.S.S. principle as the TF700t doesn't have room for bloated extras. I hope this buttery smooth experience continues for the next month and if so, I'm recommending this ROM to all TF700t owners and giving a donation and will also encourage others to donate as well. You are a godsend! Thank you!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sdeng:
I have just flashed to 6.0.1 and I am very pleasantly surprised. My 3-year old son uses this tablet because I simply gave up on it. It was just so slow and laggy. Today I found it even too bad for him to use it. I thought let's try Android 6 or 7 (just put 7 on my Samsung S4 Mini, very nice!) and guess what... it all works! So far without lags, it's amazing! Perhaps the conversion of /data to f2fs did the trick, I don't know, but for the moment I am happy again with the tablet :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] midgarsfinest:
I may be wrong, but the GAPPS download link is actually for the 'Stock' GAPPS, as opposed to the 'PICO' as described in the tutorial above. Thank you very much for this tutorial and available sources. I was able to flash this rom twice overnight. So far, very smooth and speedy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gyros76:
Guys, maybe you can help me. I successfully updated my TWRP 2.8.7.4 and installed this wonderful rom but how do I install gaps? How do I install superuser? Is there a tutorial link? I got this far using the "Beginners Guide to root and flashing a custom ROM on the TF700T". But at a loss for the gaps and superuser, do I need them? Oh, yeah and this "Change /data filesystem to f2fs"? Any help is greatly appreciated. Had crumbiKK r1 but was so slow, this rom is so fast, it's unbelievable!
[Asus Transformer TF700] gyros76:
I see that there was no response after several days. I figured out what gapps is and installed it. But installed supersu via twrp, but it will not open in settings , it just says unfortunately settings has closed. Now, I suspect it is because I have never rooted this Tf700t,supersu has to be on a rooted device to run, correct. Now, my question is now that I did things reverse, should have rooted before putting on the rom. Is there a way to install it now? the root.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
From the very 1st post of this thread:

Now, when you go to the link in that post to get gapps it does not default to the version of gapps you need (at least it didn't for me) and you must pick the correct one manually by ticking the radio buttons. One for ARM, one for Version 6 and another for Pico. You might only need to tick the version button it just depends how the page loads in on your browser.

I think you should just start over, but I'm pretty much a n00b, so you might see what others say before you try.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gyros76:
Yeah, thanks for the response, I did get the right gapps version pico arm to install. I also did get the twrp, but failed to check if it f2fs compatible, just installed the one the link gave me, it was the kang , --Scratch that in recovery I see it's TWRP version 2.8.7.4@area51? did the format and not just the wipe dalvik. But never got the option to change data file system to f2fs . So, this might be one problem, for supersu to be installed, that and I did not root according to root checker.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Your TWRP version is fine. [MENTION=266368]area51[/MENTION] supports f2fs and you find the option to convert data under the wipe menu. Check this out: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/general/guide-convert-data-to-f2fs-twrp-2-8-t3073471.

Different tablet but same procedure....

Now that your Settings app fc's is troubling. It suggests there's something wrong with the rom installation. But since you gotta convert data to f2fs at some point anyway you might as well do it now. You will have to start from scratch again, but I think it is worth it.

Also gives you a chance to flash rom, gapps and supersu in one session and start over.

BTW, SuperSU and root is totally optional. If you do not want to run apps that require root, mess around with Xposed or greenify system apps, there is no reason for you to root. It can come in handy if you use Titanium Backup or other apps that require root, but I there are many people who advise against it, because it makes your device much more vulnerable to uninvited intrusions. Heck, I know seasoned flashers who , e.g. on a Nexus 6P, unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery to gain more control and recovery options, but then run the stock rom unrooted with an encrypted data partiton! I am one of them acutally :D

They introduced all kinds of security measures into Android for a reason. If you root your device without actually making use of it, you're just exposing yourself to danger without any benefit. Root is an option when runnig a custom rom, not a requirement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fonetval:
Hi there,

First of all : many huge thanks for this (master) piece of software :good: ! My Tf700 litteraly reborns with these KatshMallow.

The only -small but not cool- problem is for me, like for others (eagleeye and ssconceptz from what I've read), that the camera is not working at all : nor with ROM camera native app, nor with others like "A better Camera".

The error message is always the same : "unable to start camera" or "can't communicate with camera".

Any fix planned ?

EDIT : One more problem is a battery drain :( about 40% less in 4h without activity ! I've seen that this problem was already adressed in the thread, but I can't find a clear answer that can tell "it's solved". BTW I could have missed something as the thread is quite long now :-/. Ho ! And Merry Chrismas every one :angel:

[Asus Transformer TF700] flhthemi:
Maybe you installed the wrong version of GAPPS? It's a very easy mistake to make...
[Asus Transformer TF700] gyros76:
Yes, it's been some time since I made that post, and I did tons of research. First of all I'm a tweaker at heart, I tweak and I tweak. I have now a Nvidia Shield K1 Tablet and rooted it and installed these great root apps: Adaway-omg what a great adblocker this is, Greenify saves tons of juice and ko's apps from taking precious resources , Lucky Patcher-still figuring this one out and last Foldermount. So I know I have to root the Asus, it's on my to do list. I just have to go to the hassle of removing 60 gigs of Tales From the Crypt, Heavy Metal and Conan comics from it. Thank you for that fascinating read about rooting makes the os vulnerable. One thing I have noticed is that Google apps makes this tablet go to a crawl. Can a root tablet disable or remove them? Anyway I just use this Asus tablet to read comics and view Cinema 4d tutorials. It's faster than it ever was before. One question: can I root the asus as it is now with katkiss already installed and not have to wipe the whole tablet? Thank you for your time, sorry so long post/
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yes to both questions:

If you don't want the Google apps, just don't flash the gapps package after flashing the rom. But then you won;t have Play Store either.... Alternatively you can flash gapps, then remove the system apps you don't want with Titanium Backup.

which brings me to your next question: You need root to remove system apps and it's easy to achieve: Just flash the SuperSU binary in recovery and install the SuperSU app. Bingo

Bluetooth mouse pairing without PIN

I would like to connect a simple mouse BT510 with TF700T. Version V29 is installed in the TF700T.

The tablet TF700T finds the device BT510 and when I start the pairing, the system asks, please enter the PIN (0000 or 1234 ...).

But the mouse does not need a PIN for pairing.

The process terminated without pairing.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
How is the performance? Better / worse / comparable?

If the same, what would the benefit of using the other kernel be?

Any chance we can get a walkthrough on how to do this (setting up the different kernels)?

Or possibly have it as an option in the installer like Zombi-Pop has?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
I know nothing about this several days ago. With the help of [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] and some other members and some research, I managed to get it done.

I don't know about the differences in performance yet. Maybe you can also test them out. KatKernel doesn't support preinit, so I need to find a different kernel that can make ROM2SD work, so that I can boot up the system on micro SD. Here is the link to the kernels, if you want to check them out. I just did some shuffling. Credit goes to [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION], [MENTION=2158597]hardslog[/MENTION], [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION], etc. Just flash them through recovery.

Here are steps briefly.

Unpack the blob file with BlobTools.

Extract kernel and ramdisk with bootimg_tools.

Rename 'init' file in ramdisk of KatKernel to 'init-android'

Copy 'init' from ramdisk of that or grimlock kernel to ramdisk of KatKernel

Revise 'init.cardhu.rc',

Repack the modified ramdisk with desired zImage/ kernel to boot.img using bootimg_tools

Repack the boot.img to boot.blob with BlobTools

Add header to the unsigned.boot.blob to get final boot.blob

$ echo -ne "-SIGNED-BY-SIGNBLOB-\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0" | cat - unsigned.boot.blob > boot/img/boot.blob

Then I just replace the boot.blob of GRIMLOCK_5.1_signed.zip with the boot.blob generated, and flash the zip file through recovery.

I think a shortcut would be to replace the contents of /system/ of ZOMBi-POP 5.1.1 RC2 20151210 with those of /system/ of the ROM you want to install. You can also replace corresponding kernel files. The problem is that gapps from ZOMBi-POP may not be ideal for the other ROM, but I think you can skip gapps installation during the process? Then you can flash preferred gapps through recovery. If you want to do ROM2SD installation, the gapps may be flashed with [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]'s method, but you should check with him if the method is still good, though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Not for the moment.

Priorities first, before breaking more things with unpacking / repacking / using derivative installation methods:

- First Fix what's left to fix and iron things out with the default kernel / ramdisk / rom.

Then add more goodies ;)

I'll add support for preinit /rom2sd/data2sd at a later point.

If you really want to play with stuff, feel free to do so of course, but I won't support it for the moment.

And please don't post it in this thread in that case as it'll just confuse other users like this:

If taken out of context (like 75% of users will do and not read all the numerous posts by sam369 from the previous days )

users will think they need to follow the procedure to "fix wifi",

which is not the case, as he's talking about his own previous modifications that broke wifi.

So please for the moment, let's focus on the default setup and installation procedure only in this thread.

And on a side note for the other issues, there is a "How to Report" link in the first post to follow.

I usually need more information / logs than just "it doesn't work" ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Was not able to reproduce that, sound is good with my headphones here.

Do you still have the issue on V014 ?

One thing you can try after plugin in the headphone is to hit the Reinit FM34 button in the K.A.T app

see if it helps.

if it doesn't also just to make sure: try to without the K.A.T app and reboot, as even if it'll help to install the gps fix speedup.

But besides the fm34 option, the other Audio module is not compatible, so I wonder if it could eventually set something incorrect for the TF700T chip.

If you still have the issue, grab a set of logs after rebooting clean and reproducing the issue.

I fixed the libOMX stuff in MM, but the tegra3 codecs are not playing well with the new stagefright features.

So video falls back to google h264 codec for the moment, which seems not to be playing well with 1080p

Yeah Bluetooth is puzzling...

most likely a bcm module / firmware combination, but I tried all the combinations I could think of ;)

Or maybe a timing / bug with the 4330 and the new BT libs in MM...

Weird stuff.

It's basically time-outing accessing /dev/ttyHS2.

That's Marshmallow securing permissions to the microsdcard.

Apps are only authorized to write to a specific location and they need to ask for permission for it at runtime.

For apps that are not yet compatible and not asking for it you can grant it manually in Settings => Apps it helps sometime,

unless the app is not using the new correct API to find out the app data folder location.

I don't think screen capture has ever worked with any custom rom ?

It doesn't with the T300T at least.

If you haven't owned a TF100 or TF300 and haven't experienced timduru's roms before, yes you can dirty flash most of them. The exception is during major android updates. You can also skip versions (which is handy during the early days of the rom as he updates fast.. and a lot). If a rom needs a clean flash then he'll mention it.
