How restore this moded version?

TWRP - restore - cannot find backup..

Where I must copy this file?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] evancrazyelf:
You need to unzip it and Place it in your TWRP backups folder example /0/TWRP/BACKUPS/0380618940df9597/2017-02-19--21-13-08 KatKiss-029 6.0.1 MicroG PROJECT NO GAPPS

Hope that helps good luck:fingers-crossed:fingers-crossed:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
I had looked at it briefly before, but decided to try it now... AND IT WORKS.

How to install this... not the most straightfoward, but for me it works. Also, I'm using Linux, I'm not going to bother to try to explain how to do this on Windows. This works for me, might blow up for you.

Prepare the tablet

Uninstall "Google Play Services" and "Google Play Store".

Re-flash the ROM for KatKiss (I'm using 6.0.1 #29) & SuperSU. Do NOT install opengapps.

Install F-Droid.

Add repo https://microg.org/fdroid/repo (as described here: https://microg.org/download.html)

Make sure that you enable "Expert Mode" and "Unstable updates" in the settings of F-Droid.

You might also have to change the "What's New" from the filters to "All" to see the microG services.

Temporarily disable the F-Droid repo

Install the following:

microG Services Core

microG Service Framework Proxy

Re-enable F-Droid repo, install

UnifiedNlp (no GAPPS)

Apple UnifiedNlp Backend (or another)

NominatimNlpBackend

Patch the ROM to allow signature spoofing:

Download (with git) a copy of https://github.com/Lanchon/haystack.git: git clone https://github.com/Lanchon/haystack.git

Make sure your tablet is connected through usb, and that adb works, and execute these commands (see also the git repo above) in the dir where you downloaded the git repo:

./pull-fileset tf101

./patch-fileset patches/sigspoof-hook-4.1-6.0/ 23 tf101/

./patch-fileset patches/sigspoof-core/ 23 tf101__sigspoof-hook-4.1-6.0/

./patch-fileset patches/sigspoof-ui-global-4.1-6.0/ 23 tf101__sigspoof-hook-4.1-6.0__sigspoof-core/

./push-fileset tf101__sigspoof-hook-4.1-6.0__sigspoof-core__sigspoof-ui-global-4.1-6.0/

Reboot the tablet

Go to "Settings", "Developer options", scroll to the bottom and enable "Allow signature spoofing".

Configure microG

Go into the app drawer, look for "microG Settings".

Tap "Permission Missing" and give all permissions

Enable "Google device registration"

Enable "Google Cloud Messaging"

Go in "UnifiedNlp Settings", tap both ""location backend" and "address lookup backends" and enable the backends there.

Go back to the main menu of microG Settings and tap "Self-Check" and make sure it doesn't complain.

In "Self-Check", make sure to tap "Battery optimizations ignored" to allow the service to run in the background

Install play store

Download the Play Store from eg. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/ somewhere on your PC. Rename it to com.android.vending.apk

Execute the following with adb:

adb remount

adb shell mkdir /system/priv-app/Phonesky

adb push com.android.vending.apk /system/priv-app/Phonesky/

Reboot the tablet. Now you should have the Play Store available.

Add your account as usual, and then it *should* work ;)

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] : would you be open to allowing signature spoofing out of the box? Would simplify this a lot

gapps suggestion?

Hi tim, up till this time I have not registerd with xda and never had to, I would just download the tf101 software and roll, but I just downloaded your newest one and I cant seem to find a site to get "gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160219.zip ". This has all come about because the last time i booted up the tf101 (a day ago) a big warning screen came on and said "google play has stopped working" and I could not get the tablet to do anything else. and the now the gapps link you suggest is dead. do you think you could suggest another gapps for the tf101 for me? thanks, James.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sympton:
How sweet this is Tim, another great rom :) But since im a noob with these, i have managed to install evertyhing, but supersu not working.. When flashing it, it says boot image not found, aborting ? What have i done wrong ?

Everything seems to work nice, except root ..

Thnx in advance, -Sympton
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
Read the last 10 pages. Full of possible things to try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kirios:
This is the best solution I've found too.

I've the old TF101 working again.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
While I can appreciate the solution offered, you should be weary of just flashing stuff without doing some form of verification that it doesn't contain anything nasty. I'm pretty sure it's safe, but still...

Just my paranoid 0.02$
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] evancrazyelf:
Paranoid, I would say so. My backup is just Tim rom with the microG soultion installed I went and did the work and shared it, so other's wouldn't have to. If you don't take a risk in life what's the piont of living "Paranoind" Just my 0.02cent's view on your statment.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
No need to feel attacked. I'm just not overly trusting :) I've seen to many bad things happen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] e154037:
It is really a great idea to disable Google Play Services and Google Play app. This is not only solves the problem of GMS updating, but also makes more RAM (around 70 MB) available. A number of system/user apps may not work, but either an old worinking version could be found, or an ASUS equivalent can come to the rescue. For example, google calendar and contact can be replaced by ASUS calendar and contact, old versions, which work without GMS, can be found for youtube, google play music, dropbox,...As an alternative, 'Yalp stors' app allows download from google play store, either with or without a google account.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
The only issue I have with it is that it does violate Google's ToS, so if you would use your real google account with it, they could in theory suspend it.

I have to say that even using the microG services makes a huge difference - my tablet drains a lot less, it's a lot more responsive. Give it a try!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] farsight73:
Sorry to quote your post 2nd time now. Everything works nicely and I was able to add my google account, but I found that my Playstore wouldn't download or update apps. It will just download and cycle again until a failed message prompt. When I tried to open Gmail, it ask for google account again and if I add it will reject with message account already exist. Anyway work around with these little issues would be greatly make my day..? Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] evancrazyelf:
All permision are turned off by default you need to go to setting apps and allow the apps permisions :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Joh14vers6:
I found a new solution. In Titanium backup there is an option to remove the Google Play Store link. I did that for Google Play Services. I had to add the Google account(s) by Gmail and now all non-Neon apps works.

So far tested with this ROM

Add folders com.google.android.gms-x not working.

Lucky patcher not working

Firewall (like Droid wall, Android firewall and AF+ Firewall), works but blocks to much (Chromecast, Youtube, etc)

I have tried to restore from the backup but TWRP couldn't find a backup. Then i have make a backup from the cache, i have removed all the files in that folder and then i have copied all the downloaded files tho the folder from the created backup.

That was working ok. The screen was black for a while but did not start any further. Reboot the tablet and there where the apps.

All the installed apps are gone. Have to reinstall the things i need.

Thanks!

I tried every solution that was outlined on this forum. None worked. The MicroG GMScore worked but a lot of apps working with Google play services demanded an the dreaded update. Your solution is the only one that really worked for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] PhatUgly:
[MENTION=5851165]evancrazyelf[/MENTION] How did you patch to allow signature spoofing? Tingle?

EDIT:

I have successfully patched the rom to allow for signature spoofing by using Tingle:

https://github.com/ale5000-git/tingle

After that, the four apps from the microg project can be installed to provide basic Google Play functionality:

https://microg.org/download.html

Download the apps and move them to /system/priv-app/ and set the permissions to rw-r-r

Combined with yalp store, I am not missing anything from the google world and the system is slimmer than with the whole gapps package.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jan26:
I have tried the MicroG version but it is hopeless for me. When i use the keyboard there is a horrible lag while typing. It's useless. When i install a app for watching television from my provider the only screen i get is black.

For now i have installed the old version (v29). Maybe i get used to the popup screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devil-kin:
You need to install the latest unstable microG version, then it works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kittlerfero:
Thank, works for me except hangouts. Anyone knows which hangouts version (if any) works with microg. Even chrome does not work even if it should according to link-I-cannot-share-because-I-am-new-user.

Hi Tim,

Thanks again for providing quick support in times of need.

I have tried even with the adb work around as you suggested but that didn't help me to solve the problem and when I type "adb devices", it doesn't list my Asus TF101. I am still clueless to come over the issue.

Hi gaia2,

Could you please let me know the way you solved this problem. Because I am using a laptop with Windows-10 installed including latest Asus drivers. But i could not solve the issue. Please share me the details and I will give it a shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] suez77:
Thanks for the ROM! :)

After installation the ROM wasn't very responsive, but after a while started working just fine, very smooth.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Even after 5-10 minutes, no adb ?

You're sure you had a working setup for adb before with the drivers , or is it the first time you use it ?

when you say black screen, do you see the backlight on or not ?

Overall, the easiest way is to force a recovery boot with vol down.

That doesn't make sense to me that it doesn't work for you, unless you've changed something else before, like flashed a wrong bootloader or something.

As there's no relation with flashing the rom.

Maybe you're pushing too long the power button and that it shuts it back down before it displays the boot to recovery message ?

Just to make sure:

Push the power button for a few seconds with volume down held,

as soon as you see it rebooting, release the power button and keep holding the volume down button only.

as soon as you see the message at top for RCK, release the vol down button and push vol up.

(if you keep holding too long, pushing vol up will boot the rom and not the recovery, so timing is essential here too)

You can normally always recover like that.

Or through booting into APX mode with volume up in cases where the recovery is dead.

(you won't see anything on the screen in APX mode though, it's normal that it's black *black*, but you can then run apx commands to flash back to stock)

That has never ever failed for me to recover from the most disastrous situations ;)

And believe me my TF101 has been tortured a lot with all the tests I had to do through the years ;P

Ah yeah, I can reproduce that, weird it used to work.

I'm not sure then, it works fine for me.

a few seconds after it's plugged into HDMI I see the screen content on the TV.

Even tried after a full format / fresh install and it works fine out of the box.

Yeah it always take a bit of time until everything is scanned, and restored / started / initialized.

You might also want to add Mediascanner filters too to only have it scan the folders you want to, that will help a lot too if you have lots of data.

Ah okie, only with Nova..

not sure what it might not like, maybe they need to update for Marshmallow or something.

was it working fine with nova and LP ? There's not some setting to activate in Nova settings to allow it to rotate or something ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] doppelhelix:
yeah, somehow the calculations are messed up.

Quick'n'Dirty fix:

extract the open_gapps*.zip

open the install.sh

go to line 1753

comment out the following if - fi condition (put a # in front of line 1754 to 1765)

save, repack, enjoy

Hi narupradeep,

I am afraid my solution won't help. I was able to have my device boot up to the start of the device setup (where it asks for your language). I then used the "Long press to reboot to recovery" option in the shutdown menu...

Reading Tims post though, I will give that a shot when I install the next version. Maybe I did push power for too long :o, though I never had an issue with that - hasn't been my first issue which forced me to force the device into recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
Can't confirm right now, on the TF101, but you're right. There is a setting in Nova that enables homescreen rotation.

Good morning Tim. I know it has already been said many times in the last few days in this thread but V021 is simply superb. It is unbelievable how you are able to keep our older devices running on the latest Android OS version and not just running but fast and buttery smooth.

+1 on HDMI working.

I also used Bigwheelie from [MENTION=4342873]sidneyk[/MENTION] to repartition to: /system 1GB, /cache 1GB, /boot 12MB and /recovery 12MB. This enabled me to flash Open GApps Mini. Didn't try GApps Full but it may have fit also.

Hi all. I'm an old user of katkiss rom...now I have some problem with my tf101 and i want to upgrade to this version. I have only a question: i can use more recent opengapps istead of 19/02/2016?

tnx for any answer, and sorry for my bad english!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] repdetect():
I would recommend latest opengapps with Google Play services 10.0.84 (see: "How to fix crashing Google Play services"), get "open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20170119" from:

'https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases?after=20170128'

Works for me.

Also, while in recovery make the dirs in /data/app to prevent the auto update of Google Play services.

If stuck in "Checking Connection" do the 4 corners bypass.

Unfortunately, if you use this build of KatKiss, you'll get stuck quickly with the crashing google play services. There is no solution that really works save for using microG replacement services.
