[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scooter1979:
You're more than likely never going to get a GPS satellite fix, and if you do, it will be spotty at best. It is an inherent and known issue with the 201 due to the design of the device. ASUS didn't take into consideration the placement and construction of the GPS antenna when packaging it in the metal case, thereby effectively blocking all GPS signals. The case build also had a dampening effect on the wireless antenna, though not nearly to the level that the GPS is borked.

Not long after our device was released, ASUS offered free dongles to boost GPS. It was a bar that attached to the power/dock port and ran nearly the length of the tablet. A number of years later, a class action settlement resulted in owners being offered a whole 14 bucks (if memory serves) and the GPS dongle if you hadn't already claimed the dongle previously. The dongle worked well, with the only major issue being you couldn't have the tablet plugged into the keyboard, as they utilized the same port.

I don't recall if I mentioned it in the 5.1.1 Kat thread or this one, but I have brought up the fact that the dongle doesn't work with this ROM. If I had a lick of development skills, I would tinker with it to see if I could get it going, but that's way out of my wheelhouse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Scooter is correct. GPS had never been good on the Prime without the dongle. Without my dongle and the stock Asus ROM I could only achieve 3 to 4 satellite locks and that was never for more that a few minutes before one or more would drop out. With the dongle I could get 10+ locks but using it is a pain because you can't use it and charge at the same time. I have not tried the dongle on any custom ROM's so I'm not sure it works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] k0Seek:
Hello,

is there any way how to root this ROM?

thx
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ePYK me.:
Thanks guys!!! I do have the GPS dongle. It worked on the Asus custom ROM. But stock ROM was too slow that it allowed me to have a coffee every time I wanted to open an app.

I tried using here maps offline and this would never connect to GPS:mad:

Any solutions or ideas??

Thanks !!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HorthLithperer:
I missed the free dongle AND the free fix for the firmware update that allowed the keyboard to sleep. Keyboard sits in drawer now since it drops battery to zero while not even in use. [emoji20]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scooter1979:
I hate to say it, but I think that since the GPS issue is definitely hardware, you might be SOL without the dongle. I mean, if you were reeeeeeeally good with hardware modifications, like putting strategic holes in the case and modding the GPS antenna, you might be able to minimize the core issue, but otherwise, yeah.

The only thing I can think of from a software angle is an app I remember trying back before I got the dongle. I used something called TetherGPS with mixed results. It's the same concept as WiFi tethering, where you connect a non-gps device to say a phone with proper GPS to get satellite locks on the non device. If you hit the Play Store with a "GPS tether" search, the first result looks rather promising.

Of course, you would always have to have a second device with good/excellent GPS like right next to your Prime, but I suppose that beats nothing at all if you're determined to get satellite locks on the tablet. Good luck. I'd be curious to hear how that works out for you, if you do go that route.

Camera again

I just installed 6.01 on a second-hand tf201.

Until now it works fine (about 2 hours).

For me, the camera-problem was solved by loading another Camera App from the store.

(Open Camera did it for me, and it is better than the original camera on the stock rom!)

Kindle App doesn't work -- (Same problem under Katkiss 6.01 on my TF101).

Thank you for this great ROM!

WIFI Problem

Hi all. Perfect and quick ROM, but I find problem on wifi. I trying to search where is problem, and problem is connection with my Mickrotik router.

When I connect to my second router (D-Link), everything seems be OK. But when I connect to my Mikrotik, it will connect and working, but after random time (about 1-5min) wifi break the connection with router and again connect to him.

Everyone know how can I fix it (or where is a problem with configuration on mikrotik)? I try set the mikrotik as a second router but everything end same. Unconnect and reconnect. :crying:

EDIT:

No, wifi is slow on both routers (on mobile about 30Mbps on tablet 0,1-0,3Mbps). Previous version Android haven´t this problem, but have a problem with freezing :(

I flashed clean install, wipe everything, right TWRP (KANG 2.8.7.0), right gapps and SuperSU (from install instruction).

Can anyone help me or can I do something more??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dethearth:

TF201 Sluggish

Does this need more RAM on TF201 ? My own one is sluggish these days. I still cant install Facebook app.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Aminoacow:
Hi, I don't feel the rom is quite smooth on my device. It was a clean installation.

The Antutu benchmark shows my device only scored 22235; no apps installed except for default ones + pico gapps and ofc Antutu. Has anyone else tested the device with the latest Antutu?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dethearth:
Yes I try it, and as you wrote, it only seems. Afer longer testing it seems as same problem (test speed connection picture). Some times OK, sometimes not.

I read that this problem has an another devices (Nexus,.... after upgrade to Android 6.0.1). May by is something wring in drivers, or not...

But I wouldn´t like to go out from this ROM. It is very stable and quick. In fakt only problem that I have is the wifi stability and unconecting when tablet sleep.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dethearth:
Did you do clean install, and set performance settings (I set performance as I wrote some post upper, installed tons of apllication, ... when I try to solve wifi problem), and now I installed AnTuTu Benchmark and have a 25995 score).

Next fakt is, that this is not newest devices ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dethearth:
Install is OK, I used twrp as I wrote some post upper, but I think that twrp 3.0 is newest.

I was used katkiss and this rom is very good and stable but as I wrote I have a problem with wifi.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Aminoacow:
Yea, I did a clean install. You are perfectly right about the fact. Being tuned to new devices, I was somehow unfamiliar with this a bit dated device:cyclops:, only picked it up yesterday after keeping it in my cupboard.

So the benchmark on my tf201 looks just about right I guess. Thanks for checking the benchmark for me:good:.

WIFI problem - version 25

Hi all, is there someone who has this super ROM in version 25 and be so helpful and kind to share to me? I was read somewhere, that this version has a different wifi-drivers, but it isn´t in repository to download.

Thank you in advance.

I will test this version is there too wifi problem, or not (nothing else in my searching where is bug - I´m googling as idiot, but nothing helpful yet...).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] QueadlunnRau:
YES!!! Got Sixaxis to work!!! Sixaxis wasn't working on KatKiss 30 (could never get it to connect via bluetooth), but that app had an update so maybe it was coincidence that it works now with KatshMallow, but I'm still thanking this Rom's Dev team!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kwakkel:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] max silver:
Hello, I have decided to try this rom out, however I am stuck at the initial step of unlocking my bootloader. The asus unlock tool does not work on my tf201, when I attempt to run it I get a device model not supported error. I am running android 4.2.1 on my device, is there another method available to unlock my device? Do I need to revert to stock android to be able to do this, a factory reset, or something else?

Edit:

Lol, I ended up working on rooting the device, and the root program I used identified the tablet as a tf700t, so I was using the wrong boot unlocker. I am now successfully unlocked.

Twrp

Silly question maybe. I am trying to mod a stock tf201 4.1.1.1 to the katshmallow. Follow the readme and it says to use twrp 2.7.0.0 The only supported twrp is 2.6.3.0 Tries using it and the update seemed to go south. Was looking for files on the sd card and hung. Followed another readme and put the stock firmware back on with fastboot. Seems to be running ok but back at 4.1.1.1 The bootloader is unlocked, any ideas?

Make sure that you are 4.2 bootloader :good:

If you have 4.1.1 bootloader, it causes this issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scroeffie:
i dont understand this part

YOU MUST BE ON JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.27.1 AND TWRP 2.8.0.0+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM.

Wow, never thought we would get Marshmallows on our Primes.

Had it collecting dust with an old Cyanogenmod (4.4.4) but it has come back to life with this rom.

Great work and a BIG TNX for it. Now i can start using it again ;)

Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip

But you'll need to get into recovery to install that .zip

After that i upgraded recovery with twrp_tf201t_kang_2.8.5.1_signed

Reboot into recovery again, then proceed with advanced wipe, convert /data to F2FS and install the ROM.

Worked flawlessly here.

The first time it boots, it might look like it's in a loop, but give it some time.

Would it be possible to use Fastboot to flash the blob of the custom rom to work around this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AndyTommo:
Did you do wipe before you flashed your rom?

Also if you search your problem on Google you get several options including the steps below:

"In TWRP Advance Wipe > Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik partitions.

Select ZIP file of your ROM and flash it.

You will get E:Error executing updater binary in zip (Don’t panic!)

Go to Reboot menu > Select Reboot to recovery.

After rebooting in recovery, flash the ZIP file of the ROM again WITHOUT WIPING."

Thanks, Andy. Unfortunately I'm still getting the same message and failed installation. One other option found was to go into fastboot and flash the blob from the zip. Any thoughts any one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
If you haven't flashed the hairybean upgrade zip in the past or present, you have the wrong bootloader version to install this ROM.

I think "epad-10.4.2.18" which you mentioned before, is the tf201 bootloader.

The hairybean upgrade turns our tf201 into a tf300, which enables us to play with more recent releases from Asus.

Plenty of guides in this area of XDA about it, you will lose all internal data flashing it though. Will need to fastboot flash a recovery compatible with your bootloader first too.

Good luck.

Hi all,

First of all many thanks for the great rom - my TF201 finally makes sense again.

However I would have a question regarding the keyboard dock - it seems to me that something is wrong because I've a following situation:

-dock is not charging the tablet

-tablet shows me in the upper right corner 91% of battery in the dock but when checking the battery status in the settings it shows me only the tablet battery. I've downloaded an app for dual battery but also this one recognizes only the tablet battery.

-when tablet is plugged to the keyboard and in use the dock is blinking orange. As soon as the tablet is going to “sleep” the dock stops blinking.

I spend many hours on investigation, searching and tried different things with no success (cold booting, new clean rom installation with tablet plugged to the dock, charging through PC USB).

Any idea what could be the reason or how to solve the issue?

I was on Lollipop v.26 for about a week, and it ran good overall with occasional force closes of the AOSP keyboard or Google Play Services.. The force closes were rare and didn't really affect the stability of the ROM (meaning things would still work after I clicked ok).

I decided to try out Marshmallow v29 this past weekend...and it has been running flawlessly. I haven't had any force closes, and the tablet seems like it performs most tasks quicker than on Lollipop.

You might have a different experience than me...so you might want to just try out both ROM'S and see which one works better for you.
