The first boot is quite battery hungry, so it depends if you have booted on power or battery too :)

But after the first boot, MediaScanner and the like are also scanning storage and all which will be cpu / power hungry too.

So before changing something I'd suggest that you leave it settle a bit first. :)

But otherwise yes by default the rom is tweaked for performance / responsiveness, while trying to keep the battery good enough to last 1-2 days under heavy use.

Default Interactive governor will balance and ramp up the cpu to the max 1.7 Freq as soon as there a cpu demand.

You can tweak both the scheduler and the max freq into the Settings => Performance panel.

If you want to save battery I'd suggest that you try in order:

- interactive + lower max cpu freq

- conservative with 1700 max freq

- conservative with lower max freq

You can also tweak other values if you install an app like cpu master.

increase go_max_load for example on interactive.

Maybe wait the next rom version too, it'll have a few additional tweaks and different mV values.

See how it behaves.

Yeah you finally get your TF700T version ;P

Hi, I formatted data and changed it to f2fs. When I go to flash it, it starts but immediately goes back to TWRP. I am coming from Zombi POP, so I need to do something else? thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
2 days? Did you get that while testing? Maybe my battery is really broken.

Cause I just did like 30min Youtube and it got from 60% down to 30%.

Most (30%) of battery use is something just called "Miscellaneous".

But I'll give it some cycles and see then.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I reposted this so it wouldn't get lost, right now I can't use my tablet until I install something. thanks for the help
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
If it doesn't flash in TWRP, usually it's because of a bad download.

Check the file size / md5

Normally TWRP should give some kind of hint / error though, what does it say in the logs ?

Which version of TWRP are using ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I am using version 2.8.7.2. I really don't get a error message except when I try to install and older beta version, it says Failed to sysMapFile '/external_sdcard/Zombi-POP-5.1,* etc.

I don't know how to get into the Logs while in TWRP, thanks also I have three downloads in there two of which I know have installed before.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
If TWRP doesn't install your older downloads too ,

either you corrupted your sd card, or one of the partition.

Try to put your sd card into a computer and repair it / redownload the file(s)

Did you install a rom before with your 2.8.7.2 TWRP version, or did you just install it ?

I'm using the KANG 2.8.7.2 TWRP linked from the first post myself, and it works fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
Ok, I will try to repair it, I have used this version of TWRP already on my tablet.

it is odd that the latest Zombi POP zip won't show up on my ext card. The betas do though

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

I have gotten a screen after changing the data type that I have not gotten before. It wants to know if I want to keep the system read only. I can either choose to keep read only or swipe to allow modifications. I have no idea which one to do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
I am really interested in this rom, however I use my tablet as an emulation device, so i need bluetooth.

So, what can I do to help resolve the bluetooth issues is there anything i can run or capture totry to get it to work?

Nothing much, I just mostly need time to look into it.

But if you or someone know how to fix it , you're welcome to let me know too ;)

allow modifications.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zheega:
Wow, performance has really incredibly improved with this ROM.

I have a few problems tho - the battery life seems to be much worse (even without overclocking, leaving the CPU at 1600MHz max). It appears that minimal brightness is much higher then previous minimal brightness was under stock ROM. Also, the device never goes to sleep. Awake is always 100%. Screen & WiFi & BT turn off after 1 minute of inactivity, but the tablet still seems to be awake.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Golf c:
Download Nova Launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mountain Flier:
Thanks, that did the trick.
[Asus Transformer TF700] AnnoyingMink:
Not nativr English speaking, so abreviations are sometimes a problem.

[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
AnnoyingMink - not a problem my friend. We all help each other. Glad I could clarify it for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zheega:
It looks like ZRAM was causing problems. With ZRAM disabled battery life seems back to normal, even with overclock to 1800MHz :D

The only thing that still bothers me is that minimum brightness is higher than it was on stock ROM. Everything else is working great so far.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LionHell:
Hello,

Thanks for this amazing ROM !

A question : Could you add USB optical drive support to the kernel ? It's possible ? :D

I read somewhere the first versions of stock rom support USB optical drive, I would like use the TF700t as sound system with kodi and usb cd player.
[Asus Transformer TF700] magicmanfk:
I'm having issues with Nova displaying wallpaper- I've gone through some comments here and tried lots of things posted but the most I can get is it working with live wallpapers but not static ones (I had to set the wallpaper mode to "Normal" for this to work, otherwise it's black regardless even with Nova scrolling set to force). Anyone have this issue and managed to resolve it, or have any suggestions?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jefflw111:
I ran into trouble getting static wallpaper to display on either both the stock launcher and Nova no matter which wallpaper I selected nothing was displaying. Then I happened upon a setting under Display in the Android settings menu with the rather obvious designation of Wallpaper Mode Disable. Under this option it was defaulted to "Disable System Wallpaper Rendering" once I set it to "Normal" the static wallpapers worked perfectly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] magicmanfk:
To clarify it works for you in both nova and stock? When that's set to Normal and I'm using Nova only live wallpapers work as far as I can tell.

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Finally got it figured out actually. I needed to set the background in system settings, not through Nova Launcher. Thanks again for your help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
So I've been trying to figure out why the battery drain is higher on this ROM other that being overclocked and what I've found is WiFi never turns off even if it's set to turn off when in sleep mode (according to my investigation). In the GSAM graph below WiFi is on all the time except where I actually turned off the WiFi radio (small blip off on the graph)

Here is my WiFi settings set to turn off WiFi when sleep:

Also notice it never shows Doze as on.

timduru - is there something you can check?

Hardware Keyboard USB

Hey guys, I'm not sure if anyone have noticed this, but when I was on the previous ROM (Zombi Pop), I was able to connect a full size keyboard (wireless) and even use keys from the Numeric keypad side. This new Rom a few keys doesn't work anymore... (All of Numeric keypads, the delete key [not backspace], all Function keys [F1 to F12], even the windows key doesn't work [it used to open the menu in other roms, not an important key though]). Is there a fix?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Rom is using a dedicated intent for dock battery reports for the UI

Dual battery widget has not really been updated in a while,

but it could be modified to use it, source is posted somewhere if I remember correctly.

Could be possible to add on the kernel side, but it wouldn't automount into the rom though.

So you'd have to mount it manually or with an app.

It means your tablet doesn't deep sleep

with that option, wifi will only turn off if your tablet sleeps.

You basically need to find out which app(s) are keeping your tablet awake.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LionHell:
Interesting, No automount to play music CD would be boring for a media system :eek: I don't know if android version of kodi can manage that.

to my understanding, what is missing into the rom for automounting a CD? Android can automount an SDcard or usb key (through usb host)
[Asus Transformer TF700] asus700:
It's not the rom mine has gone to sleep normally with every build
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
Thanks timduru - I was thinking that I've just not found it yet. Just thought I'd ask.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
I use Automate to ensure WIFI and Bluetooth are turned off when screen is off, and I use AutoStart and Stay to start Automate on boot. If you want, I can share the flow I created with you. If you want to use WIFI or Bluetooth when screen is off, you have to pause the flow, though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
Thanks Sam, I'll get those apps and check them out. Right now I'm looking for the rogue app. It shouldn't be too long as I didn't install all the apps from my stock build ( over 100 apps before flashing KatKiss ugh).

New Life :)

Just want to say a BIG THANKS !

After letting my tab collect dust for the past 6 months I decided to get it out and see what I could do with it (I was stuck inside with rainy weather and had fixed all the phones that were having problems).

My Asus was in a TWRP bootloop that took a bit to get out of but thanks to many of you good people here I got that fixed and started to look around for a ROM to flash. This being the newest out there I decided to give it a try.

The install went well but as it was going through setup it just would not connect to the internet. It would say connected but would keep searching. After a bit I just skipped that part and finished setup. When I would try again to connect it would show full signal but with an exclamation mark. I went into the browser and I could connect to some sites so I got my VPN setup (I'm in China) and could log into the Play Store.

Internet acts like it is working fine but I still have a full signal icon with an exclamation mark next to it. I did a reinstall of the ROM and still the same thing.

Any ideas?

Again the ROM is working great and looks very fast to me. Thanks again. :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
If you have not tried that, you can try to set a static IP address to see if it solves the problem.

Been using kk 018 for 3 days and the tablet is running the best it has for a couple of years. No issue with Bluetooth or WiFi. It boots up in about 1 minute. Best ROM I've put on this tab. Thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] grgmre:
Thank you! This has been driving me batty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bladejesuitdepart:
Lurker here. This is the best ROM by far. All the jankyness even from a full wipe and reset in the many roms I tried over the years in here is almost gone in this rom. Mad props.
[Asus Transformer TF700] freddd1:
Does this rom provide automatic stable updates? I am looking for a recent rom that does this. I stepped away from Omnirom due to the fact it has no stable automatic updates but only nightly automatic updates, and I did not want to update with 100 - 200 MB releases on a daily basis.

I would like a recent operating system for my device, without the hassle of having to apply manual updates, or daily full operating size automatic updates.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
And naturally all of this you expect for free....

No, this rom does not provide the service you require. And since you rejected Omni and CM, that's it. There are no other roms for you.

I'd suggest you buy a Nexus with MM. Google is now putting out automatic and stable updates every month. You have to stay completely stock naturally....
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
No fun in that at all. Having control on what you flash is the only way to go! ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] woekje:
I was a bit underwelmed with the smoothness of the ROM, lots of lag and unresponsiveness. Then I disabled developer settings, and what a difference! Really smooth animation and response! tried finding out which of the sub-settings has caused the problems (had forced GPU and multi-window on), but I couldn't reproduce the lagginess any more, it seems the smoothness is now permanent!

Any idea what happened?
[Asus Transformer TF700] asus700:
Did you have data as ext4 or f2fs
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
Also keep in mind that after the first boot media scan and gapps are doing a lot in the background as stated in post#2. That may have been what you were experiencing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] blackice000:
Tim, my friend, you are a genius. I have tried EVERY ROM available for my TF700( I have TWO now!) NONE of them even came close in terms of responsiveness and stability.

Just like every other Meercat production, it just works.

Truly amazing. I now have a better faster transformer. Before your 6.0 release, I was back to using my TF101 with Katkiss!

Kudos!

Thank you VERY VERY much!

no success at installing new ROM tf700

So i updated the twrp to 2.8.4 .

everytime i try to install a ROM there is some issue. i last tried the 6.0.1 katkiss and it keeps rebooting during the welcome stage. i have wiped cache/dalvik, and even formatted system.

still no success, most ROMS wont even boot. but the bigger problem is that nothing will install properly :( i dont know coding much, but i thought it was as simple as following instructions... (as i did). Please help! i did all the flashing stuff, and tried variations of such... yet it always keeps rebooting, even if i dont touch it! Ive flashed before on other devices yet never had so much issues as now.

i been at this for hours and still no luck. is there any factory reset to stock tf700? then to upgrade back to a newer cooler ROM? i really want to experiment a bit with these ROMs yet i feel like a n00b that cant get past install..

please please give me advice and put it in laymans

*FYI idk if this is important... i never backed anything up... figured i would start with a fresh system on a new ROM. i also changed sd cards for bigger size and lost track of original that had some sort of backup before....

*when i do factory reset one line is in red saying "failed to get default contexts and file mode for storage files"

at some point in the boot stage i see something at top left saying rom2d??? but im pretty sure it a hint at a problem.... i tried to install rom2d1.zip and it says success yet has red section in code saying "unable to mount/system/data and storage" also a bad sign...
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Did you format /data and change it to f2fs? Sounds as if you did not....
[Asus Transformer TF700] freddd1:
I did not have any expectations regarding finances, and I am currently using CyanogenMod.

I do not really understand why you have replied the way you did. It was a simple question.
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
Also remember to flash all required .zips in a row without reboots in between. You can do that in TWRP.

Order of operation:

Flash the rom

Flash the SuperSU zip

Flash gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] woekje:
F2FS, I even did a full format before flashing #018...

I'm not complaining it's suddenly smoother than before toggling developer settings, I just don't understand why :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] woekje:
Nah, I'd been running #018 since the beginning (with a clean formatted /data with F2FS). After toggling off developer settings I suddenly saw fluid transitions and responsiveness that I never saw before :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Daka689:
Thank you for responding. I have tried flashing the zips in a row and separate. no ROM will ever finish installing. Ive also done wiped all components except external sd card. still no luck. I am also on a MAC, i was hoping this is all fixable by installing something via SD card? or do i gotta hook it up to a computer and go another mile?

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

what is changing to f2fs? how do i do that? is it in the twrp screen area? or when trying to install the rom, i saw an option about that. and tried it there, yet it didint work. is it a separate zip thing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] asus700:
It's under wipe partition, advanced change /repair file system and select f2fs. It runs quicker and was designed for flash memory I believe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
Have you tried ROM2SD? If you have not, you should. See here, here and here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Daka689:

Is the MD5 good? You might have a bad ROM download.
[Asus Transformer TF700] theandies:
Sorry to ask this in this thread but it seems this is the only active thread where answers are quick to come. I want to extract some user data (game data) from my stock ROM backup I did before moving to KatKiss. I tried to flash the stock ROM back and TB but it seems whenever I try to TB the data back to this ROM it doesn't work. I've digging down into the TB files and have found the .apk etc but need to find out what path/folder the specific user data (game progress etc.) is located. Just PM me so we don't clutter up this thread.

Sorry again and thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
You have *got* to be kidding! Talk about putting a smile on my face. The legendary Timduru is writing ROMs for the TF700t!? Lemme tell ya, I used to dream of this day. My TF700 is retired at the moment, but I'm gonna have to drag it out of mothballs. Timduru, how many of your ROMs I used over the years with my TF101... Currently using a Samsung Note Pro 12.2... maybe one day you'll do a ROM for this thing. But at any rate, if you haven't used Timduru's ROM here... you're missing out. I say that even before trying it myself.

Yeah, you can even get your TF101 out of retirement too if you like now ;)

really screwed up ! this time

Hey, so i really messed things up. i read all the instructions on the links, yet didnt properly understand it. N00b problems:crying:. still had the courage to try to do it.

i started by partitioning the sd card 3 ways. check

then started to install/flash the rom2sd-data2sd-intmedia-shell-that1.zip ... check

**then i had the bright idea to update the twrp to 2.8.7.4 [and this may have been a leftover file from my Note2 7100,,, in not even sure!?!] (stupid of me to not follow instructions to the T) * should have gone straight to the 'rom2sd1.zip'... wtf was i thinking!!!!!:eek::silly::rolleyes:

So now i cant boot into anything but the standard "asus: inspiring innovation" gui logo. cant power off at all and am just waiting for the battery to die or some help to come from the xda world... PLEASE HELP!!!

I think this problem is dug pretty deep, and i assume i have to do some stuff tethered to PC to restore the tf700 to its original factory settings, and then (god willing), try again to flash following all instructions. (just speculating :confused:)I hope i dont have to read an entire book on coding jargon... yet i really want my device to work. please help and keep it simple

thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
Maybe you flashed TWRP for a different device? Can you enter fastboot (power button + volume down button) and flash TWRP for TF700T through computer? If newest TWRP doesn't work, you can try this one. After you can flash a ROM, I suggest you flash ZOMBi-POP to internal storage, and choose that or Grimlock kernel. Maybe all the files needed for ROM2SD will be installed to internal /system, but you can yet flash Grimlock 5.1 kernel to make sure it is the case. After that, it's not necessary to flash rom2sd-data2sd-intmedia-shell-that1.zip anymore. To install a ROM to micro SD card, I suggest you use the updated two zip files(rom2sd1.zip and	rom2sd2.zip) from my post here. Just flash rom2sd1.zip, the ROM,	rom2sd2.zip, SuperSU, and Gapps in order without rebooting. After that, you should be able to reboot into the ROM2SD Installation. To boot into internal ROM, just remove the micro SD card. This method should work for all ROMs without ROM2SD installation options for TF700T.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Daka689:
Super thank you for responding. I think (not sure, 70% could have) i flashed an incorrect twrp zip.

since such point i have been stuck at the screen saying "the device is unlocked" (at the top right) and the ASUS gui/logo in the center (taunting me). i am not able to even enter any "fastboot/twrp/or anything? Ive held power button with down volume button as i did when things worked. i also, in panic, tried other variations of such holding down longer, mixing combinations (of the 3 buttons) yet still always at the same screen, it may flash blank for a second. yet still returns to the same taunting and ominous screen as i described. idk how to do any tethered problem solving, yet my gut says im in so deep that such is my only way out of this... for the record* i dont know what to do, just try to give a good hypothesis to steer the mind in the right direction. thank you for all your help so far! please continue using that super brain to help lil ol' me figure this out. thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] hanswurst1979:
Just press power for about 8seconds to reboot the device keep Volume down pressed until it vibrates a second time in Boot... And you're in fastboot mode with its options.

There u can flash the correct twrp
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Not if he flashed a recovery meant for a different device with different partition layout. Who knows what he flashed the recovery to??

Friend, if you cannot get into fastboot with Power and Volume Down this is a brick. You need a new or used mainboard to get the tablet back. Sorry

Dear developer

First I have to than you for this amazing rom.

But I have one little problem, which I can't find in this thread. With dock battery I have problems with battery balancing. The first battery in the tray on the left is already empty and the other is still full.

In another and older katkiss version it was balanced.

I think that this deep discharged doc battery could get problem because the time of deep discharged is too long.

What can I do?

Thank you for your help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Nothing to be done, it's the normal behavior

the dock battery is recharging the tablet battery,

not the other way around to get a "balanced" charge between the 2 batteries.
