Hiu guys,

I'm still plagued by the Deep Sleep of Death Issue. Factory resets, lite/non-lite kernels, raising min MHz settings, not tinkering with WiFi settings... all didn't help. I can't remember when the DSOD came up in the first place. Can anybody give me a hint which ROM I can flash that definitely does not have these issues?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] f.cervera:
My experience tells me that it only looks like it's software related , since it seems that when flashing different rom the camera come back to work randomly , but never 100% free of problems (in my case ).

I replaced myself the camera (found the spare one in internet) and the problem is definitely gone , no matter which Rom I flash.

I used to be on Androwook 2.3 for a while when the problem appeared (green lines , pressure on the back etc), so I replaced and now everything is 100% ok.

I'm in katkiss 5.1 now .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keron23:
who needs the camera? You guys have all a better Handy cam. What we need is a fast and stable rom. So why everybody say cam here cam there. I really don't understand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Alfonsius:
turning OFF wifi every time i leave the tablet alone resolves the reboots/dosd's for me. working as expected w/o reboots for weeks now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elchevi:
I don't know what happens with this rom, but the screen flickers, and the tablet freezes. Seems like some sort of voltage problem. I have reverted to 5.1.1 v30
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigdps:
Why all the negative remarks?

To start with, I would like to thank TacoNikky for the time and work he has put in this ROM. If it wasn't for this, we would be stuck with Ice Cream Sandwich ROM with a slow as molasses pouring on a cold day in February.

Now my rant. This one goes out for all of those who post negative remarks about how the ROM behaves.

The ones that irk me the most are the ones complaining about worthless issues. Let's face it. Our tablet is older than the hills. From day one, it had issues with cameras,wifi GPS and so on. Why in the hell do you think a new ROM would make these issues go away?

If you are not happy about how the ROM behaves, don't rant about it. Instead try to post logcats so TN can study them and maybe tweak a thing or 2. If you bought a tablet to take pictures, well that is just plain silly.

Then there are those who ask useless questions about how to do this or that, how to install, and so on. READ THE FU#$%#@ MANUAL. Not only are these post useless, you have very good people in these forums who will try to help these noobs. If only the noobs read the valuable info they are given. I'm not going to post names but in the 46 pages, it always seem to be the same people complaining. To these people, either get with the program or even better, buy yourself a new tablet. This ROM is mostly for eperimenting. Don't post your anger on TN if things go wrong.

I have had a few roadblocks but by reading the valuable info some people left, I made it run and this is what I am using to post this rant.:good:

Again, I wish people who have problems, ride the storm and read what other have tried and if it still doesn't work, walk away from the foums. Don't post that you are done with this ROM as it is nothing but grief to you. When you do post sh#t like this, you are sending negative impressions to other but ESPECIALLY towards TacoNikky.

End of rant.

Now to the rest of those who have their tablet running with problems, help TacoNikky by sending the proper info for him to find out what is the problem.

Afterall, this is a community and as all communities, we have to help each other. Not to try to push and shove cause something is going wrong and we have no clue what to do.

Thanks guys (those who are always trying to help noobs like me) for your help and may this ROM keep us from buying a new tablet.

Thanks TacoNikky for your time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sirmatto:
I don't think anyone is being overly negative here. Maybe they way people are stating problems isn't the best way and saying you're going to go back to a previous ROM isn't negative either. Negative would be someone saying "my tablet freezes, screw you TacoNikky!", which nobody has stooped that far yet.

TacoNikky has gone out of his way to make this ROM, has stated it isn't perfect and has requested people post issues. That's what people are doing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vitalero:
same here, freezes sometimes, screen flickers with black lines at the top, did reverting back worked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elchevi:
Yes, 5.1.1 v30 works just fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Prack:
I have the same issue, once in a while flicker/jitter whatever you want to call it. I do not have any wifi issues, screens of death or reboots like others have been saying however. My tablet has been on for two weeks and other than the occasional flickering it's been great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pickandrew:
This ROM is based AOSP?!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] autolycus89:
I can confirm that with WiFi off, I experience no reboots for days.

I previously thought it might have had to do with the tablet detecting a chromecast on my network but it seems to be occurring regardless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] s_sevan:
Flickering black line gone

I had same problem but using recommended settings on first page all problems gone.

Best Performance:

- 1600mhz with Bfq schedular

- Settings/MediaScanner Filters --> uncheck Scan

- Developer options --> force GPU rendering
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pickandrew:
This ROM is based AOSP or Stock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:

how to update from older version

hi,

I am running an older version vom kathsmallow (v13) and wanted to know about the "update" procedure.

what is needed to update from an existing version to the latest one?

thanks for instructions, is it really necessary to delete "everything" (clean install)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gicos_com:
Hi

It is possible to update TWRP 2.7.1.0 to 3.0.0-0 with a .zip file or is necessary the ADB procedure?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] auceto63:
Yes, U can.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jacmat:
Hi TacoNikky,

Using katshmallow v25 during last 2 weeks, firstofall thx very much for your effort and giving us the opportunity to experience marshmallow on our beloved transformer prime.

Perfect installation, ROM run smooth and quick, but after seven / ten days after, system turns unstable and must reinstall again.

I use recommended configuration as it is describes un the first post.

Thx again, transformer prime will continue another five next years with me... I hope��
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
Clear cache and dalvik cache. Then lets take a look :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gorgooger:
From some other project, where they have also trouble with random reboots under special circumstances, I learned something that might help:

-----

Some of you have experienced restarts when it comes to Bluetooth in the latest software. This is not harmful for the phone, in this case it is just a sign of bad software programming. The phone is trying to interpret something that just doesn't makes sense so the only option is to reboot.

More technical details:

Once again we integrated the FM-radio which needed some changes in Bluetooth as well. We actually needed to integrate a new driver for Bluetooth (a driver is a piece of software needed to communicate with the hardware). This driver implements (among other functions) a read function and a write function where the read function reads from the Bluetooth chip and the write function writes to the Bluetooth chip.

Whenever an app wants to get some music from Bluetooth, it calls the kernel driver read function and supplies a little memory buffer and a length of the memory buffer so the read function can fill it.

The funny thing with this vendor supplied driver was that it didn't even care about the length of the buffer, if the Bluetooth accessory has a lot of music in the pipe, the driver will just write all of it into this buffer. Since the buffer size doesn't suffice in all cases, the phone reboots...

The solution is to respect the length of the supplied buffer and let the app ask for more data whenever it has emptied the buffer.

Sorry about this, we have a solution on its way...

EDIT: This particular programming problem is called "Buffer overflow".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow﻿

-----

and

-----

Yeah, I think the TF201 also uses a Broadcom chipset. If they also use the "Video for linux" (v4l2-driver) then it might be the same problem...﻿

-----

Well It wasn't me, but I thought I can share the knowledge.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jacmat:
Thx TacoNikky, I will give it a try!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyarborough:
well after a couple reboots, through the actual camera app i get a bunch of multi-colored lines and then the "cannot connect to camera" message appears. Upon further investigation, i found out that the front cam works, cause i did a facebook video call.

also, i noticed battery drain fastter then i remember on this device. i check the battery stats in settings and i see that the device never actually sleep when screen goes off... anyone else notice these things??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ijustknow:
Is this true?

If so, not a bit difference between internal storage and external storage now in Marshmallow?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zatoichi88:
Same problem with camera, green vertical line.

Sometimes tablet freezes and is really slow... Someone has solved?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyarborough:
if im running katkiss 5.1.1 is it completely necc to format data, thus, wiping the new rom off of internal storage?

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

ok, so i followed all instructions as i usually do, and coming from katkiss 5.1.1. did a full wipe, internal storage included, side loaded roma nd gapps and SU.zip, flashed rom and Gapps and now im in a vibrating, screen flashing Boot loop. flashed from TWRP 2.8.+

Any support on this rom still?? i could use some help

EDIT

I fixed it. turns out I flashed the one for my tf300. wowow.!!!! So now that marshmellow has loaded and booted, im still experiencing the green lined camera and it seems as thought it will not charge. I cant win for lossing
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
Hi guys,

I decided not to develop this rom anymore :(

i do not have enough time for that.

Thanks all of you for understanding :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alesi80:
Thanks for all the support you gave.

May I ask you to just to give us next release?

Bluetooth not working

Hi,

I'm using version 23 since a while and so far it is working well. However, I just tried to pair a Bluetooth device and cannot make it work. It is not finding my bluetooth headset. The bluetooth is switched on and it is showing a bluetooth address in the status screen. Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks.

I reset the device and Bluetooth is working, problem solved
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
I'm having a bit of an issue with my prime that's running V22. I can't seem to access recovery anymore. The device just boots into the rom no matter what I do. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do with this? It works fine in the rom, just seem weird that recovery/bootloader is inaccessable.

Long press reboot from Android -> Reboots to rom

adb reboot recovery -> Reboots into rom

adb reboot bootloader -> reboots into rom

Power button + Vol up (or down) -> Device vibrates then turns off, will not switch on if any volume buttons are depressed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keron23:
Try to reflash your recovery with the Terminal Emulator App at your Rom.

Open a terminal emulator within android and type "su" (no quotes) to get root access. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" (no quotes, replace X.X with whatever numbers are in the filename) to flash the recovery and reboot normally.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thonyzz:
I'm having a hard time with those roms... First I installed 5.1.1 and it was freezing as hell on the internet... could not even take pictures with camera and it crashed randomly and had SOD issues ... Now I did a clean install with Katshmallow and it is even worse ... It freezes more often , get SOD pretty much every hour I don't touch it and the tablet is pretty much useless ... worst tablet ever ... what can I do ? I installed the TWRP that was stated on the lollipop thread, then cleaned it, format, wiped dalvik cache, data and all but the micro SD and the installed the lastest version Katshmallow and it is a pain in the ass to even try to browse the internet .... thats why I bought it for ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MadmanJay:
Does anyone know where we can get the latest kernel that was used in this ROM? If I recall we used to be able to flash the ROM from the tf300 thread (which is on build 26 now) and then just flash the kernel overtop for the tf201. If we had that we can continue to get updates for our beloved tf201.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
I am going to release compatability pack in couple of days. Then you can able to download tf300 rom and flash it :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bakes5981:
This kind of development breathes new life to an otherwise "old" device! Thanks! Just updated my prime!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
Can you flash the TF300 rom, boot to recovery and then flash the grimlock Kernel, then reboot? Would that do it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
Anyone who would like to use newer versions on TF300 forum, you need to flash this patch after flashing the ROM :good:

TF201 Patch

https://yadi.sk/d/WG17I6IOqbx6t
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gorgooger:
Nice one.

But how do I transform my Transformer.

I would try to make a fresh, clean install of [ROM] [MM 6.0.1] KatshMallow - v25 [TF201] (without gapps)

Then The TF201 Patch and after this proceed to V26 on TF300? or do I have to make a clean, fresh install of V26 on TF300 and apply the TF201 Patch to this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
Download ROM on tf300 link

Flash it

Flash patch

Flash gapps

Reboot

For clean install wipe dalvik, system, data, cache at first
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tetsuo55:
So TacoNikky the only difference is the kernel and its modules?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gorgooger:
Unfortunately no wifi for me... So I will return to 5.1.1
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
I had the same issue. So I have flashed the rom, SU, Gapps, rebooted to recovery and flashed GrimlockLite kernal and it seems to be working:fingers-crossed:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
Yes
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kwakkel:
I also have this issue and your solution seems workable. However, I cannot find a Android 6.0.1. Grimlock Lite Kernel for the TF201. Can you post a link? Or is it this kernel, the TF700 Grimlock Lite Kernel.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
Thats the one I used. Flashed The TF300 rom, SU and Gapps, then rebooted into recovery and flashed kernel and so far works well
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MadmanJay:
I also had no wifi after flashing the compatability pack. Even tried a fresh install.

So does the Gridlock lite kernel not suffer from screen flickers or screen going black issues like we had in the past? I thought the tf201 kernel was customized to get rid of that issue which was only on the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
Not noticed screen flicker and the screen will go black after some time, however press volume button and it comes on again. A little bit of pain for a massive gain with the speed and smoothness of the ROM
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kwakkel:
Thanks! That worked. However, this kernel has some flaws. My Prime cannot be turned off and I have random reboots. Do you have any solutions for these problems?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
You can power off via recovery - not ideal, however a solution. As far as Random reboots, not had that issue.....yet!! :fingers-crossed:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kwakkel:
I reflashed the ROM and the patch booted my prime. After that I reflashed the TF700 kernel and now the problem is gone. No more reboots.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
:good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ruudvddries:
I love this ROM my Prime has never been this smooth (except for Chrome) though, I'm suffering the same random (and often) reboots. Which kernel did you flash, exactly? Do you have a download link? I wiuld like to give it a try.

For the random reboots what helped me was to disable the option to keep always WiFi on. I still see them if I am charging the tablet, but otherwise I don't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
I removed the patch because wifi doesn't turn on with v26.

I stopped developing this ROM, v25 is final version optimized for tf201 :good:

Dead link for patch!

Can you please give us a new link so that we can download the new tf201 patch? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
See post #520. The link has been removed as WIFI fails with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] auceto63:
You Can try this:

Nandriod backup first

Wipe system data cache and dalvik

Install 300 rom from link above

Install Google app...pico or nano

Install super SU

Install grimlock kernel for 700 posted some link above

Wipe cache and dalvik

Reboot

I done all this and the only issue was that the tablet do not shut down and I had to restart in recovery mode to do this.

You have to long press and volume down to enter in recovery mode.

Update:

I done a test with grimlock kernel lite...and the it's better

The installation procedure is the same that I typed above

Same issue with shutdown

Sometime the screen go off: pressing volume button to light it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sirmatto:
Can you confirm that wifi is working?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] auceto63:
Sure,

No problem with WiFi

Only with power off
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tetsuo55:
I installed tf300 r26 but Instead of using grimlock I installed the katsmallow tf700 kernel.

So far I have no errors, a nearly clean dmesg and only minor issues in logcat. Wifi works, screen doesn't flicker, backlight works normally and I have not had a crash, sod or reboot yet

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
Welcome to the club mate :good:

Turn off your prime, press power and volume down buttons. You will see a screen with 3 or 4 icons. Please share a photo of that screen.

Also which rom are you on?

Do you see 'the device is unlocked' writing on the left upper side while booting?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnny567:
It is stock 4.1.1 locked bootloader. I will share a screenshot as soon as I can tomorrow. Thank you for the quick response.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
There will be no need for a photo because you are sure that it's locked and 4.1.1 stock.

first download asus unlock tool

I recommend to go back to factory settings before using that tool(don't sign in google account)

After unlocking, flash twrp suitable for 4.1.1

Make a backup

Then Upgrade your bootloader by flashing 4.2 bootloader zip

flash newest twrp

Convert your /data partition to f2fs

finally you can flash this rom :)

I will send pm to you bootloader update package
