@timduru: You in need of a TF101 (parts) or keyboard dock (no issues), both skinomi skinned?

I remembered using your rom way back when, stopped using it, lent it to my nephew, now its back, doesn't power on, assuming fried board. Figured id offer it to ya before I procrastinated around quite a bit more before tossing it into the circular file...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
thanks,

mine is still fine for the moment, don't need parts :)

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] any chance for dual boot with Linux (i mean with flashing kernel) sry for annoiyng :). I read Linux can install with katkiss but never see install with MM. (sry my english bad)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
I don't know.

ask in the linux multiboot threads, see if someone has done it there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jcbcatarino:
Guys..?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] svatoupravdu:
Guys, are you really able to run Android > 5 smoothly on TF-101? My every attempt resulted in very sluggish behaviour, everything took ages to complete. I surely followed the instructions and wiped everything prior installing, but the result was just unusable, even after waiting for everything to settle down (for several days). As I posted previously, I need to stick to 4.4.4 KatKiss. How is your TF-101 performing? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dolons:
Smooth and smooth a different things. If you have a phone with SD820++ processor, the tablet is slow. BUT Think about how old the Tab is.

90% of my daily apps work smooth: perfect viewer, feedly, K9 Mail, Chrome oder opera and mx player and many more. For youtube i use newpipe from F-Droid Store (withouth ads and smooth).

You can use it easy as daily driver without playing new/modern Games.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] svatoupravdu:
What I mean is that on 4.4.4. my TF-101 behaves normally, latest versions of apps load, can be multitasked and behave quite predictably and as intended. It's not as smooth as on modern phones or Apple products, but it's still usable.

But if i switch to TimDuru's Android >= 5, things get really harsh. Even PlayStore installation tasks struggle, apps stop responding from time to time, basic UI FPS is more slideshow than user experience, common apps such as maps, ebook readers, picture viewers run not that well as in 4.4.4., even if it's the only app running.

To be clear: I don't mean CPU or GPU performance in games, I don't play them on this device. I also don't mean post-installation slowdown caused by things taking their time to settle down.

I'm trying to figure out if it's me doing something wrong or if it's known fact that Androids 5 or 6 perform generally much worse on TF-101.

Google maps crashes at start with KatshMallow #034

Oui moi aussi ! -Louis L. :D

I have currently v.9.56.1 which is consistently crashing at start.

I am going to try earlier versions. Somebody has a latest working version number to propose ?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jesuita:
[MENTION=2904767]svatoupravdu[/MENTION] mine behaves likes yours: works great on kitkat but with this rom it lags a lot. As you said simply updating apps from play store takes a lot of time.

It's a shame because the newer Netflix versions, with the downloading option, don't work on kitkat :(

Have you tried playing with the processor governor's and overclock it a bit to see if it improves?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] svatoupravdu:
Yes, a little bit, but I've never experienced any kind of significant improvement while playing with OC settings, maybe some ADB debugging would reveal the bottleneck. LegacyXperia Wiki mentions basic steps:

You can check if your sdcard speed is a bottle neck as follows:
run adb shell via USB
invoke vmstat command and look at [wa] column
If [wa] is high during app usage / app start / whatever, your phone most probably is busy with sd card access.

If [us] or [sy] is high, your CPU is busy.

All of these value range from 0 to 100 while 100 meaning 100% load.

But I haven't tried it myself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jesuita:
I'll try that, remove the SD Card and see how it behaves.

Also Thanks in advance for being awesome and having created this in the first place :):good::good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] k1z8m2:
Well, I also switched back to 4.4.4. It seems to be the best combination of performance and "newness". Perhaps the hardware isn't up to running later version well? In any case, I'm happy with 4.4.4 and thank Timduru for his amazing work.

TF 101 0.34 and Check Point

Hello,

I have Transformer TF 101 with Katkiss 0.34. No problems. Almost everything works fluently. Almost. I would like to use on it Check Point Capsule and openVPN connect. Both of them connect and establish connection. But from there on, I cannot connect. Both programs work perfectly on two other machines - Nexus 7 2013 with the latest Lineage 7.1.2 os and rooted Prestigo PAP7500 - JB 4.2.2.

Can you please suggest, what might be the problem and solution? If I use the Check point connection it connects, than I use Remote Desktop - but this one does not connect at all. The same is happening with Open VPN. But both combinations perform flawlessly on Nexus or PAP7500 which is rooted JB 4.2.2. For your answer Thank you very much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Are you sure you have a TF101 ?

If so you should use KANG Twrp listed in the 1st post.

If not you should use the proper version for your model
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] iwersen:
Should I use gapps 6 and 4.4.4?

Are you using KatKiss-4.4.4_036.zip and the updated files mentioned in the first post? I mean Gapps 6 and SuperSU 2.52.

Thanks in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] matthewpapa:
Just got TWRP 2.8.11 installed finally (if anyone else was having issues coming from 2.3 see my post in the TWRP thread)

Thank you Timduru for updating this device! I am about to try this ROM!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] o_corn:
Thank you, Timduru for your 034 release . i am on your "wagon" from the very beginning. And my TF101 is fast and furious. I recently repartitioned - bigwheelie - the machine had some problems with Ubuntu but finally used Mint and bigwheelie did the job. i use performance "upgrade" and with 1200 MHz TF 101 is still stable. If I make the comparision with Nexus 2013 LTE and Lineage 7.1.2, TF 101 is not far behind, considering speed. The only problem I have, is with Open VPN and Check Point capsule which both connect, remain connected, but I think routing is the problem as I cannot connect to our servers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RoyIT:
hello to all,

first of all i want to say a big thanks to Timduru because since android 4.4.4 i'm using his rom for my tf101,

but now i have 2 questions:

1)i'm using 6.0.1 rev 19 and now on the first page there is an update rev 34, what is the best way to do the upgrade? which steps?

2)i noticed that even with just flashed rom the tablet has some lag between the "tap" and when it goes as opening apps or writing, everything. Is there something i can do, as modify the governor or other to improve the performance?

thanks and waiting for answers to my questions
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] geekopt:
Hi everyone,

My congratulations to [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION],

Finally!! I have an opportunity to give "a new life" to this device.

Just some questions:

1.) Is just me, but I can't find the developers menu ??!

2.) My top menu (when you swipe down from top screen) doesn't expand.... only shows: date/time + wifi icon + batery icon + user icon

3.) Is possible to include Mass Storage support?

4.) Also, when I try to install something from google play store it says download pending... and stays exactly the same nothing happens even after some minutes

(EDIT) Already done wipe dalvik / cache some times (from twrp) but without results

(EDIT#2) Great... Managed to solved all topics, except #3, with a full re-flash of rom

Thanks

Hi all

I try to install the 6.0.1 rom. When i format data, i've the following message :

What can i do for fixing it ?

Thx for your help

EDIT

I updated twrp and all is fine now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Laykun:
Overclocking for an SoC is luck of the draw, just like with CPUs and GPUs. For example, you may be able to get 1640, but my TF101 will only hit 1200 max before crashing repeatedly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thelangosta:
Yep, mine is smoother at 1200 than 1600.

Is there a chance we could get an security update with the September security fixes? Especially for the blueborne attack, this would be nice...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] leveliciouz:
Just wanted to thank you Tim. Been using this ROM for years and never had problems. Sadly, my tablet is reaching its final days.

the wi-fi is going worse, loosing connection all the time. i don't think it's a software problem. this thing is just plain too old.

in addition the display connector went wonky, which is a known problem on this tablet. as it is getting really slow and is almost unusable now, i don't see the benefit in fixing it. a good slap usually fixes it anyways haha.

i got it freshly after it released. that makes it the oldest media consumption device i ever had (with my pc).

it's pretty insane how much potential you got out of this thing.

i went through 3 phones but i still got this tablet. it survived the lifespan of a galaxy s1, nexus 4 and galaxy s6, which were all used until the battery couldn't do it anymore.

the tf101s battery still holds up. it's insane. one charge lasts me easily 4 days of media consumption.

i didn't post much but in some weeks i will stop following this forum for the first time since the release of this device. it feels weird.

i hope everybody that contributed to this ROM can somehow use the gathered experience to benefit them positively in their lives.

Good job Tim. Signing out. See ya!

after doing all these things I have got the error ( google play service has stopped ) and i try all the solutions but nothing worked
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DoughMucker:
I've got a workaround for the recent "Google Play Service has stopped" message...

Big Fat Warning: Use at Your Own Risk!

I say that because the workaround disables a service I know nothing about and appears to do other things like keep your tablet safe from malware. Using the workaround will stop the annoying message but may leave your tablet more open to malware. It may have other impacts too.

To disable the message, download DisableService from the Play Store. Install it. Open it. Touch on "System". Scroll down and touch "Google Play services". Press the search icon (the magnifying glass). Type "droidguard". Uncheck DroidGuardService.

I restarted my tablet as it was due for one. I don't know if that is actually required.

Again. Use at your own risk. Maybe periodically turn that service back on to see if the annoying message has gone away or to allow it to work its anti-malware magic.

Well, so far, after 2 days trying and stressing this solution works best for me. It seems that after this trick, when you install an app from GPS a small white window flashes. Probably the little window which ask to give some permissions for the app. So after installing you have to give the permissions afterwards (in Marshmallow). :D

Hello

I'm testing this ROM on a tf101 that started having the stupid google play services error. So this is what I did

-Install TWRP 2.8.1.1

-Boot to recovery, wipe data system and cache

-Flash latest katkiss rom

-Flash the old supersu zip on OP (the latest zip force closes)

-Flash latest opengapps pico for android 6

-Delete the folder /system/priv-app/SetupWizard (if the setup wizard runs on 1st boot, google play services crashes)

-Write this on terminal emulator:

su
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.droidguard.DroidGuardService

- Turn on wifi and setup your google account.

No more errors from the playstore service!

But I have some problems with this rom:

The "HOME" and "MENU/RECENTS" navigation bar buttons do nothing.

Missing "google settings" from app drawer and settings

The "users" option on settings, does nothing. Can't add multiple users.

Switching cameras causes the app to freeze.

No notification area. Downloads and apps work without showing any notification. You have to open each one to check what's new

Any download that I try to do from playstore fails. This is because of the disabled service.

The device is mostly unusable with this rom

Wow, they have NEON instruction set emulator there so stuff no longer crashes. Of course it must be slow when NEON is used heavily for math, but in a lot of stuff that crashes it is not used as such, mostly just developers set wrong compiler options so some NEON initialization code is linked to application without any significant further use.

The emulator is here https://github.com/Decatf/tcg-arm

Maybe there's hope after all as recent Android versions offer special implementations for low RAM devices which could be a nice bonus.

Unfortunately, this new drivers in mainline kernel is unusable for TF101 GNU/Linux builds.

Working builds stuck on nvidia old kernel branch 3.1.10, official old l4t driver (latest tegra2- supported release is r16) with totally different architecture.

The only way is to port all asus tf101 specific drivers into new mainline kernel, but it is a big deal.

This past weekend a friend gave me his old tf101. Sweet little tablet... laptop... sort of both? Except it's running an ancient version of Android so app support is lagging.

I want to try this version, but I haven't been able to get either of our laptops to recognize it via USB for rooting purposes. Mac sees nothing there and Windows says no device identifier. But it charges from the little power brick. Could something be wrong with the USB cable? Got another cable ordered anyway. Should be here 2 days from now.

It's pretty neat as it is now, but more recent app updates would be nice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MiniBlu:
For ADB/fastboot etc you need to remove the dock (keyboard) and connect USB cable straight to the tablet.
