Lol I spent days on finding a charger. Alot of the little block Asus are 5 volts. There is also ones that do 5 volts, AND 15 volts. Then their are ones that just do 15 volts. I had the 5 volt one, not even worth messing with. I have an Asus ROG laptop with charging usb ports, won't even tickle the tablet. The battery isn't 15 volts. I have also bought an OEM Asus travel travel charger, only one on Ebay. It's puts out dual voltage (Output: 5Vdc/2A or 15Vdc/1.2A (For Eee Pad only)) BUt not all the asus chargers do that. Many of them ( block type) only charge at 5 volts, zoom to look at picture before buying. 5 volts won't charge a 7.4 volt battery.

Backup Your Mobile - Help!

Greetings,

I now have my TF201 running Android 7.1 OK I think. But I am having difficulty restoring my files with the recommended Backup Your Mobile app. Using it I chose to backup my files to the external SD card. Additionally I placed a copy on my PC and to be sure another copy on my main backup drive. I chose not to back up to the cloud as my connection upload speed is not that fast.

I re-installed the Backup Your Mobile app from the Google Play Store. However I cannot seem to access anything other than the cloud with it. It has been assigned storage access permission. I can open my external SD card with a file manager app and browse the backup files OK. I can also browse the files OK from my PC Windows 10 File Explorer. But Backup Your Mobile does not appear to offer a method to browse the SD card nor any method to access my PC via the USB connection.

In desperation I decided to upload the backup files folder to Google Drive thinking I should be able to access the files there as Backup Your Mobile does appear to link to Google Drive OK. However Backup Your Mobile does not recognize the backup folder on Google Drive. Thus I am stuck unable to restore my files which is a worrisome situation.

Whilst attempting to get it working I did see a note somewhere in the Backup Your Mobile information that there may be a file system compatibility issue with later Android versions. Is it possible that the Backup Your Mobile app is now only compatible with cloud storage and will only restore if it has a history record that it saved the files to the particular cloud service?

Any suggestions on how to restore my files would sure be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Well, if it is an issue with Android 7, just shoot a nandroid of your current setup, then flash down to whatever Android version it can handle, extract your files and back them up to the cloud, then restore your nandroid.

Hello,

1) I did full wipe of system+data+media (internal SD) on f2fs + cache/dalvik .... Installed KatKiss #027 + OpenGapps ARM 7.1 Pico ---> wait system to set up ( setup wizard failed continously - program close). It's the ROM-s bug...

Recovered previous system #026.

2) My TF700t is extremely slow... I got 20-30sec delay after finger tap.... Nvidia Tegra 3 T33 Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A9 () + integrated GeForce ULP graphics chip with 12 processing cores ... so it wouldn't have to be slow (extreme slow). I suspect the Kernel, maybe the CPU governor can't manage to wake up all cores, or something... Maybe old kernels can work but I'm not sure they work on Android 7.1. Maybe it worth a try to install GRIMLOCK KERNEL (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2743100) or other custom ROM kernel. Maybe [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] can help about KatKiss kernel options.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You have to FORMAT data, not just wipe. Takes an hour and leaves /data on ext4. So you have to convert it to f2fs again.

And about setup crashing: Read the instructions, especially the parts in red......

TF201 - Need to Format Data Directory?

Greetings,

Although I believe I followed all the steps when I upgraded to 7.1 I don't recall a format step that took hours. My TF201 seems pretty fast and responsive now thus I presume the upgrade to F2FS file system is OK. But I wonder if there is some way I can check as it would be nice to confirm this?

Device certification in Google Play Store

Many thanks for keeping this device alive with this great ROM!

Am just getting off the phone with tech support of a bank. They told me the reason their application is not running is that the device is not certified for the Google Play Store (Play Store menu: -> Settings -> section: About -> very last entry: Device certification) and referred me to the developer of the ROM.

If this referral is correct, would it be possible to get it certified respectively how much effort would be involved?

Thanks for your consideration

Is it OK to reinstall a nandroid backup after reformatting /data to ext4, and then converting it back to F2FS?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Sure why not?

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

This is a custom rom, bootloader is unlocked - tough to convince Google to certify the device [emoji6]

You may want to look into Magisk systemless root. On some devices it works to pass safety check and I believe it has a module that helps to get the Play Store certification. No idea if it works on this tablet though. I do not do online banking on a device I could lose any minute [emoji41]
[Asus Transformer TF700] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

The latest version of Magisk (16.0, as of this post) will work on the Transformer tablets, however Magisk Hide, the feature that would allow the device to appear as certified by the Play Store, won't work unless the kernel adds mount namespace support. I posted about this previously and got no response. It also seems to be more complicated than just enabling a flag in the kernel - quite a bit of code would need to be backported, so it probably won't happen.

graphics issue for games

All apps work fine.. .but lately i downloaded some games for kids. e.g. ABC Kids - Tracing & Phonics. They all seem to have some graphic issues. In some instance, i can hear the sound but screen is black. In other instance, the graphics is a bit messed up.

Any idea what the issue could be ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] maerlin9:
Hi everyone. I've been following this thread for quite some time now and tried various roms including this one.

Katkiss is the very best one I found. So a really big big thank you to the author, and his impressive work and time spent.

Even so I never could obtain a perfectly usable device. Currently I think I'm facing a RAM usage issue. 1gb seems definitely too low. My TF700 runs with at most 350-400mb free without launching any app, and starting a small kid game (probably craply coded) or Google maps is enough to put the device on the knees. Sometimes even the keyboard was getting killed my the memory killer :)

I finally tried to play with the low memory killer settings, but with no happy endings.

Right now I can just use the tablet for casual web surfing or watch videos, with some patience. Which finally is already something.

Watching the release notes of the present ROM, I was wondering if someone had enough free time and passion to port an Android Oreo GO for TF700. It seems for me that it would be the very last opportunity for this device, and quite fit to its rather old specs.

Any Intel?

Thanks

Sure, though I don't have external URL privileges yet: basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/TF201T/TWRP

I believe I have the "latest stock bootloader", but I couldn't get any of the kang twrp images to work (no blue bar writing via fastboot, then error screen booting recovery). Would a different recovery make any difference in this case? I don't think a particular recovery image would affect the size of /system, since writing the new rom gets part of the way through and then the partition is definitely full.

Could anyone who has this working tell me the size of their system partition so I can see if it's > 500mb?
[Asus Transformer TF700] goosebickel:
It sounds like your using the wrong bootloader

have you ever updated the bootloader to the tf300 bootloader via the hairybean upgrade zip?

If not, you need to goto the tf201 part of xda and follow all the necessary steps to intall this rom.

There are a few guides and many steps, link to one guide below

Thanks for this, tf700 so fast now!

Question, does the kernel support swap? I can't find the answer anywhere. Also does anyone use swap to expand ram? (I know it doesn't really increase ram)

Also, my tablet gets really hot, sometimes it seems to slow down when it gets hot, even apps crash. Crashes may be due to running out of ram. Anyone tried anything to reduce heat, for example turn down CPU speed? Should I ignore the heat?

Does marshmallow build run cooler? I'd hate to move to something older only to eventually move back to this. I read about people trying this and moving back to marshmallow. I can't dirty flash between katkiss 6.0.1 and katkiss 7.0.0, can I?

Thanks again!

Anyone else having problems in writing to the external sd-card? Or is it just me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
I can copy files to and from my card with no problems. You might try (if you haven't already) saving anything you want to keep, out to your PC, and then reformatting the card. Let your tablet do the formatting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
The sdcard itself seems to be ok, as far as the file system is concerned. Copying to and from the external sdcard works with my file manager too. It's only applications that seem to have a problem. So far I noticed it with Firefox and FolderSync.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LDBAKE:
Oh, OK. I don't think I have actually tried that. Only have just copied & deleted files. I don't have my tablet with me at the moment, but when I get back home, I'll try saving a file with my browser (I use Lightening Browser, personally don't like Firefox for Android).

I just downloaded a couple of files, using Lightening Browser, and had it save them to my external SD card and it appears to have worked OK. ...Just a couple of thoughts, I suppose you have given permission to your apps to write to the external SD card ??.....and how do you have the card configured ? ......as a storage device that can be used on other devices, or as internal storage? Not sure if either of those suggestions would have anything to do with your particular problem, just thinking out loud ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
Thanks for checking this! I have configured my sdcard as storage device (NOT internal), and gave the permissions in Settings -> Apps accordingly.

Still wondering about the message from Folder Sync:

"Permission denial: opening provider com.android.externalstorage.ExternalStorageProvider from ... requires android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS"

That makes me believe the behavior comes from some internal issue which I'm not able to spot.

[Asus Transformer TF700] megaequs:
It makes a hughe difference! Follow the Guide in OP and format your intern storage to f2fs (the whole memory of the tablet will be wiped, so backup EVERYTHING YOU NEED!). Aftewr that install this rom (or like me KatKiss - KatshMallow #029, for me the fastest rom). You will feel a difference on f2fs. For me the new performance was like a completely new device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] monogwai:
I'll second this. I've put KatKiss on my sister's TF101, and it's breathed new life into it. She hadn't used it in over 2 years prior to me putting it on. I just stopped by to see if there was an update to Nougatella for my 700, saw this comment, and I couldn't help but attest to this TRUTH. I loved these Transformer pads, but now these guys are WAY awesome. I've got 6.0.1 on both my 300s, and gifted a 201 (with same) to my girlfriend's mom to replace her crummy kindle... we're loving the heck out of these things! Now if only I could get KatKiss on my TF600... (bleh!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hectagon:
I'm sorry to bump my own question, but I want to know if I can dirty flash back and forth between this ROM and Katkiss marshmallow.

Also, does the kernel support swap so I can use a ram expander program?

I can add that I have no trouble writing to my external SD card on both rev 008 and 009. It is a Samsung evo 64 GB.

The only issues I'm having with this rom are heat and some internet video streaming. That's why I want to try katkiss marshmallow, to narrow down why I'm having issues. Being able to dirty flash would save a lot of hassle, but I don't know if I can do so smoothly.

And regarding ext4 vs f2fs, my write speed went from 1.5MB/s on ext4 to 15MB/s on f2fs according to A1 SD Benchmark. And I can feel that the tablet is faster, some apps that would crash constantly on ext4 now run smoothly. Remember in twrp to first format /data to ext4, this completely wipes it, then, still in twrp format /data to f2fs. If that's not clear you should read the first post of this thread and the Beginners Guide here until it makes sense.

Thanks for any replies to my questions and to Tim for this awesome rom and it's continued development.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
no, as indicated in the 1st post: clean flash between main android versions change.

it does but you'd also have to modify the memory management settings, as it's configured not to swap currently to speed things up.

About heating up it usually means some app is using the cpu too much.

Things are tweaked by default to give you the best performance under normal behavior conditions.

But if you have some app that is misbehaving it can cause the cpu to stay at max freq basically

So you'd have to find which app is causing that and it should be good.

You can also install an app like cpu master to tweak the interactive governor settings, and especially the go max speed load (if your tablet is busy when it's supposed to idle because of some app, increase the threshold to prevent it from going to max speed in that condition)

But the best is definitely to find out which app is misbehaving and get rid of it ;)

You might want to also add media scanner filters.

TF201 Transformer, Android 4.1.1 factory - TWARP Possible?

Greetings All,

I decided to restore my TF201 to factory as I need my GPS hardware extension to work. It appears it is not compatible with Android 7. I am not sorry I took 7.1 for a spin as I found the install process quite educational.

One feature I would like to keep is TWRP recovery which I think is really slick. Unfortunately when I restored the factory Android 4.1.1 platform TWRP ceased to function. I wonder if it would be possible to have it operational with the factory Android 4.1.1. version? I would like to re-install it but don't wish to disrupt my version 4.1.1 platform in the process. My TF201 remains unlocked. If it is possibly to have TWRP and 4.1.1 co-exist are there any suggestions as to how to go about re-installing TWRP?

tma
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Don't know how you stand it on stock, but yes you can at least enjoy TWRP along side the stock rom. You have to make sure that the bootloader and recovery versions are working with each other, so first check you BL version by booting into fastboot and reading the small script. My guess is you are on 10.4.4.25?

If that is correct TWRP 2.4.x should do it for you: https://dl.twrp.me/tf201/

But browse through the TF201 Develoment section, find a custom rom with your bootloader and check the OP for the recommended recovery version. Flash it in fastboot.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Something ain't right with your setup. Yes, 1 gb ram is a little tight nowadays but plenty to make your browser zip along and run Google maps fairly well.

First: Ditch the memory killer! They are complete cr** on Android. The OS is managing memory quite efficiently. If processes need more memory Android kills unused processes as needed. An external app does more bad and no good in that scenario. The belief that your device runs better with a lot of free ram is understandable, but a total myth! On Android free ram is wasted ram. ;)

I wonder a couple of things:

Did you format data before installing the rom? I mean a full format which takes an hour +?

Did you change the file system on /data to f2fs?

I bet at least one of the answers is: No.

Here's a challenge for you:

Make a list of your must have apps and get their apks either from APK Mirror or extract them from your current /system. Pack along with your favorite file browser on a microSD.

Then format data, convert it to f2fs, then flash the rom and only the rom - no gapps. You can flash root if you want to, but for this setup you don't really need it.

Allow unknown sources in Settings and then install your apps from the microSD one by one.

Stay away from resource hungry and intrusive apps and that means anything with the Google, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat logo. You can access all of those in a browser, you know. Especially if that browser is really smooth and fast!

Yes, you wont have Play Store and all the other convenient stuff and yes, that may crimp your style. But on the other hand you will have a tablet that is actually fun to use for those activities you set it up for.

Oh, and did I mention that battery life is amazing without gapps?

I sure did like some of the features offered by 7.1 but it didn't work with my GPS extension hardware which I need for what I am doing.

I'm not sure whether this is ROM-related or not, so I'll post in a few places. I'm happily running KatKiss 7.1 (v26) on the Prime, which is all fun and games, but yesterday for some reason, the tablet started making a loud sine noise from the speaker, and since I was in class I quickly turned the tablet off, rebooted and it was gone. Now this is rather annoying a behavior to have from a tablet, so I would like to know what caused it and how to prevent it from happening again!

Thank you if you have any insights!
[Asus Transformer TF700] maerlin9:
Thanks for your comments.

I do not use any additional memory killer, I'm referring to Android's own memory management settings. Using kernel auditor you can tune values to be more or less aggressive.

But no good results, went back to defaults.

Tablet is F2FS formatted already.

Not using any apps that I can access through a browser, not even Gmail, which is deactivated. Automatic app update is also off.

For the rest your idea of flashing without gapps is interesting. Still can use an alternative app source. I might give it a try.

I keep thinking that Oreo GO would be nice:)

Katkiss 7.1 - TF201 Transformer Prime __ Re-Installed

Greetings All,

I decided to re-install Katkiss 7.1 again, this time it was considerably easier to do, :). I am gradually working my way up this learning curve by reading various guides. I sure like 7.1 better than factory 4.1 and also the general features of the TWRP restoral! Many thanks to those that have done so much work to make this upgrade possible!!!

So far I have noticed four possible issues:

1) I encountered a problem getting it to install an alternate source apk. The Apk Installer install button was disabled. even though the option in Settings was set to allow installs from alternate sources. I found that by turning the Settings option on and off several times it finally worked. It seems the actual setting didn't stick even though the Settings option indicated it was enabled.

2) I seem to have an issue with the camera. It seems the flash is not synchronized with the shutter opening thus I must have good ambient lighting in order to take a properly illuminated photo.

3) Unable to acquire a fix using the regular internal GPS receiver. The GPS Status and Toolbox app does not indicate reception of any satellites. With factor ROM the GPS does work thus I think the receiver is OK.

4) If the external GPS Extension module is plugged in the tab will not boot. If plugged in after the tab has booted similarly there is not any satellite reception. The extension does work with factory ROM.

Any suggestions?

Although there appears to be some issues in general my tablet has new life!!!

Many thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] tma7:
Further to my last message I discovered the camera problem was an app issue. I tried out several camera apps that worked much better. The one I prefer is called "Professional HD Camera" by NDev available from Google Store.

I wish I had a solution for the GPS issue...I tried several apps to no avail. I wonder if anyone here has got the GPS to work?

Thanks
