I can comment as one of those people. Your mileage may differ but for me, v33 vs is notably quicker (vs stock). 3d mark ice store unlimited just gave a score of 16228.

Its less scientific but slither.io (i know... I know...) was lagging on stock, so I did a factory restore which didn't help and then installed this rom and now working fine. Personally not overly bothered about the security issues and if you aren't having performance problems then the gain is less obvious (and it does take an hour or two to work through the process).

Now wondering if there is something better than HairyBean for my old tf201...
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
After using this ROM after last Sunday evening, I'm happy to report that all previous problems I had with it are gone. It's a lot smoother now, and there are no stutters while playing anything which means it's 100% usable for me. I'd even say it's better than CM12.1 as far as performance and the better functionality of Marshmallow go. I can also confirm that the dock works completely fine with all the additions in the ROM. Other stuff like Xposed Framework (v87 for the security patch) and many modules work with 0 problems. Substratum works as well (only in RRO, is it possible to have OMS in the future?) with all modifications. I have Viper4Arise installed and it works perfectly as well.

The problems I saw first were that some apps FC when using the MultiWindow feature but that's completely understandable and not an issue for me (the apps in question were Firefox and Facebook getting squished). Also, it seems the battery is draining a bit faster while in use than before but that's also fine because it's not more by a large margin and I use my tablet in places with easy power access anyway :D. Another minor issue was attempting to use GravityBox to control the navbar. It still makes the buttons smashed together, no matter how I set them up, but that is a completely separate thing. Still, it'd be nice to have some extra cosmetic option in the ROM.

Other than that I haven't seen anything else NOT working in the ROM. I have no regular use FCs, no lags and stutters this time, the dock works without a hitch with USB drives and SD cards inserted into it, all playback is 100% fine, and the keyboard layouts and extra button functions are problem-free. I'm not sure how easy it was to get Tegra going :D. I do get an occasional 1 sec screen glitch when switching volume and pulling down notifications but it's rare (once a day for visible glitches). I do hope this ROM continues being developed and we'll get to see a Nougat ROM in the future that's just as good, if not better :).

For now the biggest problem with using my tablet is the recovery, and only where wiping is concerned. Restoring backups seems to be doing OK, it manages to wipe the different partitions and restore them with no problems. Still, doing /cache wipes is still a bit painful :D.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
I had this, in developer settings change dhcp to legacy. Did the trick for me! This appears to be more of a Marshmallow bug than anything to do with this particular rom.
[Asus Transformer TF701] DarkPaLadin:
There is a problem with battery. The device is plugged in the charger, but it wont charge. The LED's are red on the tablet and on the keyboard-dock, but the tablet still says that it has low battery.

Reboot and re-pluging of the wire helped. So I think it is a problem of the software.
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Thanks Jonbest. I tried it and it did not do anything for me :(

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] - Trying to see what is different between this and the old 4.4.2 ROM I was running. I've been pulling logcats and comparing to some old logs I had stored from the KitKat build I had on here. One difference I see, is that I used to have a ton of D/WifiController (1434): Never sleep messages. Now, if I pull logs at any given time, I don't see any of those messages.

Not sure if that's just a change between version 4 and 6, or if that is something that is missing?

Thanks again for your work on this.

(Oh, regarding the previous post by [MENTION=2615900]DarkPaLadin[/MENTION], I have not had any battery issues whatsoever with this ROM.)
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Working now...

Ok, looks like I stumbled across a fix for this (at least for me), and [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] , please tell me if this makes sense to you:

I had my governor set to OnDemand. I changed it to Performance, then rebooted, and my wifi has been up for the last 20 minutes with the screen off, while I stream Sirius radio (it was turning off after about 3-4 minutes before, shortly after the screen turned off.)

Tim, does that make sense? Is that the governor you're using?
[Asus Transformer TF701] buda5767:
After install twrp and install first 33 version have now problem with data partition. Twrp cannot format and mount data partition. Reboot everytime and Twrp try format cache and data partition.

Unable to format to remove encryption..

What is go wrong?

I format with ext3 after with ext4. Uff now works...twrp not work really good..
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
I simply use the rom defaults myself (interactive)

one thing that performance does is simply to prevent the tablet to deepsleep, so in that aspect since your tablet is not sleeping, yes it makes sense that your wifi is not stopped while sleeping ;)

So if you need it to do so temporarily you can do that,

If it's for streaming radio you might also want to decrease the max freq too, as with performance it will stay at the max freq set, and you most likely don't need that much power for audio streaming.

One thing to remember too is that there's limited doze mode active, so unless you exclude the app and system + settings from it, it'll doze apps after a while when screen off.

Did you try that ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Thanks Tim. I did not try that, let me give that a shot. I see that audio streaming is working fine now, but the wifi still turns off if nothing else is going on. Maybe that's it.

I also found this, but I don't see a Google Connectivity Service listed in our settings -

Great Rom

Just installed this rom on my tablet. Great job [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION]
[Asus Transformer TF701] cecilyen:
I love KatKiss ROM, which works perfectly on the first Asus Transformer 101. Now, it also performed beautifully on my TF 701! :D

My experience with KatsMallow on TF 701 is very smooth so far. But, I like to suggest few features, which is missing comparing to KatsMallow on TF 101. To further tweaking the kernel/io/network, maybe KatKernel could include additional CPU governors, I/O schedulers and TCP Congestion algorithms.

For examples, InteractiveX2 is the most recommended CPU governor for performance. http://androidmodguide.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

ZEN is the best IO scheduler for everyday usage. http://androidmodguide.blogspot.com/p/io-schedulers.html

Westwood+ is the most efficient TCP algorithm to date. http://androidmodguide.blogspot.com/p/tcp-algorithms.html

These may squeeze few percent of performance/battery without modifying the source code.

What recovery is everyone using now a days? I still have Cyanogen Recovery as I have flashed anything in a long time.

Thanks for keeping my tablet alive.

Hi together

I realize, WLAN is very slow, up and down is every 12 mpbs. With cm12.1 was 65 down and 25 up.

Any open issues with WLAN for this Rom version?
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
forgive the newbie questions here guys, but I'm a bit out of my depth. I have been using Chromi-X until recently, and others before, and am comfortable with flashing new ROMs but I have never had to, and have no idea how to, format to ext3 then back to ext4. I have tried the formatting in TWRP but as with many others here it is not completely formatting data and I have remnants from the KK ROM that of course keep crashing, and the home button in the nav bar is dead for me. I'm assuming this is because I haven't properly wiped the remnants of the previous ROM but I don't know how to do the multiple reformats to ext3 and back. I have been trying to make Google my friend but I remain friendless as I look at the confusing mess of responses. I don't want to experiment randomly and brick the tablet. Can one of you provide some guidance or a link?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide and happy new year to all!
[Asus Transformer TF701] buda5767:
In twrp you can use the Option change filesystem.
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
Got it. Thank you sir!
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
I've been playing around in the ROM, which has worked great so far, except that I've found two quirks so far. One is that whenever I try to add an app that has a screen overlay when I go to the permissions section the app in question doesn't appear on the list of apps that can be turned on or off for this purpose. The app is in the tablet, and accessible to a certain degree, but the screen overlay can't be turned on/off in settings, either when manually going to the app management section or when being auto directed by the newly installed app itself. I tried this with several different apps with the screen overlay trait and had the same quirk with all of them.

The second is that the search function within a couple of apps seems a bit funky or non-responsive. The only one I can point directly to is Showbox. My phone with Marshmallow is able to do the search, but the KatKiss ROM on my tablet cannot. I have unistalled and reinstalled a few times to be sure. Minor issue, and not sure if this affects other apps or not.
[Asus Transformer TF701] buda5767:
I'm alone with this 2 problems #127 (open user interface) #128 (WLAN speed)?
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Where can I find the option "user interface katkiss setup" and which App do you use for testing WLAN speed? If you give me the answer, I can test it with my Tf701t [emoji2] [emoji2]
[Asus Transformer TF701] buda5767:
I use the APP speedtest.net.

User interface is 3rd submenu under device, if you call main settings from this rom
[Asus Transformer TF701] dutchguy:
I just installed version #33 and generally it seems to work fine, except for Google Play Store: it cannot install or update anything. If I update an app, it downloads the app twice, then says "installing", but it never installs and gives an error: Error code: 963.I first wiped everything before installing.

Anyone has a clue what is wrong here? Already tried several opengapps versions (older ones), but it's all the same.
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
What ROM did you come from? And you're sure you wiped everything? (In my case, I had to do a factory reset within Cromi-X, then reboot to recovery, do another factory wipe (/data), and I ALSO had to format /system.)

And you're installing in the proper order from post # 1?

Also, are you giving the ROM time to settle after installing? (At least 15-20 minutes.)
[Asus Transformer TF701] dutchguy:
I came from some 5.0 ROM. Anyway, I did a factory reset and a manual format of all partitions. I installed the 3 zip files in the correct order, the only thing I didn't do is wait for 15-20 minutes (but I think that's not going to solve this problem).

I installed the micro gapps instead of the pico, but that should be ok I guess?
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
I test my WLAN speed with the App and I have full speed Download and Upload.

Also I test User Interface and everything works fine.

I use the Apex Launcher, maybe you can test it with this Launcher too.

The only thing that is not working for me, is the function "Right click sends back" in Dock options.
[Asus Transformer TF701] buda5767:
What is full speed? More as 15Mbps?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
So you installed a different gapps version than the one recommended by the dev and you have problems with a Google app.

Jeez - I wonder what could be the problem here! :confused: :cyclops::angel:
[Asus Transformer TF701] dutchguy:
Since the micro version only contain some extra apps I thought this should not be a problem, but if you can tell me why this shouldn't work, please explain?
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Yes, about 50Mbps,the maximum of my WLAN power [emoji12] [emoji12]
[Asus Transformer TF701] buda5767:
Now, I delete all data from system apps and user interface and WLAN hi-speed works :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
Retest today....

76Mbps at 5Ghz and 59Mbps at 2.4Ghz on my Pixel XL.

56Mbps at 5Ghz and 38Mbps at 2.4Ghz on #33.

My laptop also gets 76Mbps on speedtest.net
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
I can confirm I also have less than optimal wi-fi speeds on this tab (although, it's never been "great"...) But still, with Marshmallow it's slower.

I just tested my 5Ghz connection using my TF701, and my LG G4 phone.

TF701: 24.59Mbps Down / 12.52 Up

LG G4: 102.45 Mbps Down (not a typo) / 12.52 Up

Big difference!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
The difference is a good 80 MiB, considering that the Pico is 112 MiB total, that is a substantial size different and obviously too much for the system partition....

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

I get similar differences:

54 mbps down, 6 mbps up on Nexus 5x

27 down, 5 up on TF701
[Asus Transformer TF701] dutchguy:
The system partition is more than big enough for this. The problem was that one of the partitions was formatted in EXT3 instead of EXT4.
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
This screen overlay issue I'm having per my earlier message is making an otherwise great ROM almost unuseable. Does anyone have a fix for this?
[Asus Transformer TF701] yoalucino:
Just installed this ROM, works flawlessly (it's much more reactive than CM12.1, in my opinion).

During installation, had to replace CWM recovery for TWMP (in CWM I got error Status 7, which I couldn't fix despite of several forum entries).

Thank you, timduru
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Has anyone found a fix for the slow WiFi speed?

I only have 51 Mbps on my 5 GHZ connection and can't stream anything.

Netflix, Google Play movies or Plex :(

When it connects I have something like 150 Mbps connection but as soon as anything starts downloading or connecting it instantly drops to 51 Mbps.

I thought that I would wipe everything and start over but...

I used TWRP to factory reset and then format data, I did get some mounting errors or something but I wasn't really paying attention :(

I flashed everything again but when it rebooted everything was still there... So obviously it didn't wipe for some reason but I still have WiFi issues.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh and thanks for making this ROM and keeping this tablet updated. Very much appreciate it.

Edit:

Well I just tried to wipe again to see what it says. Unable to mount cache or system. So that's why it didn't actually wipe. Now to figure out how to fix that :(

Another update for those following along (Which I assume is no one :P)

I checked the TWRP thread and the fix was to mount and then un mount system etc. so I was able to completely wipe everything and I have a fresh install going.

But this didn't change anything for WiFi :(

Tablet is showing Link speed 81 Mbps while phone connected to the same WiFi is showing 866 Mbps. Just a little bit different :/

Any suggestions?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
And for those playing along at home ?

I re-installed CM 5.1.1 and wifi is back to 150Mbps.

What a surprise to find this topic with a Katkiss ROM for the TF701!

I used to have a TF101 and used it ever since with Katkiss ROM 4.4 After years of service I sold it and bought another 2nd hand TF701T. For just a 75 Euro swap I had an enormous improvement in speed. But... no Katkiss ROM, but a 'not much maintained' CM12 ROM.

Just out of boredom I scrolled some weeks ago through the development section of this tablet and when I saw the Katkiss topic, I first thought to be in the wrong section ;)

After some scary moments with the buggy TWRP recovery, I am now a happy TF701 user again. I also decided that it definitely was time to make a donation after all those years of usage.

Tim: have a beer from me and keep the TF701 alive for a while! 99M340***H216302G
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:

[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
I only get 40/8 on 5 ghz and 31/8 on 2.4

76/8 on my 5 ghz laptop.

Prior to the patch I had 56 on 5 ghz and 38 on 2.4.

Sorry, no improvement on either band.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
How and what do you test exactly ?

I have 5GHz - 150 Mbs steady here (wifi settings link) , playing youtube, netflix & the like.

Sleeepy2 above was talking about that dropping.

And did you try to generate traffic, the wifi link is adaptive depending on the traffic / signal quality.

Try to check on wifi analyzer if you don't have other networks interfering on the same freqs or close too.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Well first my stupidity.

This wasn't working so I thought I would go back to CM while I waited for an update or suggestion. So I do a backup, format system and install CM. Not yet realizing I am dumb.

Ohh update, nice. Backup my CM, format system and go to restore. Ugh light bulb.

Oh well, the update doesn't look like a full ROM so I installed version 33 first. It is now restoring everything with a link speed of 150 Mbps...

So I am not sure if there was an issue with the ROM at all. I will install the update once this is done.

I did make a change to my router but I am not sure if that made a difference or not. My router has two 5ghz channels, previously both had the same SSID. Default firmware recommends this. But now I am running Tomato and not sure if it handles this correctly. Now both have different names.

Not sure if this is what made the difference or not.

Either way, thank you for your hard work.
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Improved!

Thanks Tim! I can report a definite improvement. My previous speedtest.net tests were around 25Mbps, now after flashing this kernel, I am getting 50Mbps consistently :)

I may fiddle with my DD-wrt settings a bit to see if I can squeeze a little more out, but this is great :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Is the new Kernel only improving the network speed or are there other new specifications like new schedulers or Governors?
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Racer, it looks like Tim added the Zen scheduler as well.

[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
Sorry, I really don't use this tablet much. I spend more time updating than using it.

I used the Speedtest.net app and I don't have interfering networks. I check that before testing.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Well, it looks like for me my issue is/was my router.

While I was setting this up again, I was in my Kitchen and all was good. As soon as I took it down stairs my link speed dropped back down to 51 Mbps.

I checked out WiFi-Analyzer and it only showed a small range of channels for 5Ghz. My router has two 5Ghz channels and both had the same SSID so I changed the name of one to see if I could specifically connect to one or the other to see if there was a difference. I could only see 1 of them in the small channel range and I was getting the slow speed.

I decided to go back to the factory firmware on the router to see if it made a difference.Once this was all setup again my link speed jumped back to 153 Mbps. Same speed on both the original kernel and the new updated one.

As much as I would like to play around with Tomato firmware on my router there are more issues than there are benefits.

Thanks again timduru
[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
You DO know you can click the tab at the top of Wi-fi Analyzer in 5ghz to select another section of the spectrum?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
That was the problem, It no longer had the 'slider' to see the rest of the spectrum. It only showed one small band (I don't remember which one).

On my phone it was fine and once I went back to stock it was visible. I may have screwed up a setting in Tomato somewhere while I was trying to get a better signal but, I am not sure which one it would have been.

On a side note the only benefit that I got from Tomato was Open VPN and Ad blocker.

Disadvantage was No Beamforming, no automatic handling of the two 5Ghz networks, no USB multi-function printer (tomato only had print, no scan).

Stock can do parental control instead of ad block and I am pretty sure it can do vpn, just haven't gotten around to setting it up.

Anyone know how one would be able to obtain a replacement battery. Want to future proof the phone as Li-ion battery don't cope well after 1-1.5 years.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] xdabubba14:
Kind of necro, but I just got a Moto Z Force, and I'd suggest that you get a Moto Mod battery and run it in "efficiency" mode, which holds the main battery at 80%

If you use it all the time, it essentially means that your phone's internal battery will never be used for any significant length of time, and avoid the abusive drain-to-zero/charge-to-full cycles.

They are harder to find, but the original Moto Mod batteries (by Motorola) are the thinnest/lightest.
[Moto Z Force Questions & Answers] elvee68:
Exactly what I do! Easier to replace the mod. I plan to keep mine for at least two years, maybe longer since they announced mod support for 3 years.
