That's definitely interesting,

I did some testing and also comparing with CM-12.1: I get about the same single core performance (CM=884 vs KatKiss=892)

So that would mean that something was using about 1/3 of the cpu when you ran your test, most likely you didn't wait for things to settle, mediascanner didn't finish and so on...

But indeed the multi-core performance is slightly lower than single-core on KatKiss, we're basically running on one core currently ;)))

would need to restore on hotplug as it resets the cpuset prefs to using only one core.

And MM new cpuset rules simply obey the constraints of using only one core ;)

I'll see either deactivating cpuset for the moment in the next version, or backport more from 3.10 for cpuset /hotplug .

But with it deactivated I get multi-core perf of 2231 in Katkiss vs 2207 for cm

so about the same :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
That explains a lot :).

Would love to use and test KatKiss MM on my TF701 but that performance issue kills it for me.

So once you bring up a new version with this fixed I happily give it another try.

Hi to all! And especially to Tim-The_Greatest_Rom_Maker :D

Little offtop. I'm so happy that our tablet is now will be working under android 6.0 (and I hope 7.1 in future :) It is (and will be) the best day of me (and many others) having this beautiful transformer)) Thank you!

Back to business. Installing instruction is not complete as I think. It should contain "information for dummies": "If you using kang twrp - you need to format data to ext3, then.. etc." But it's not critical.

About what bugs I've found:

1)Touchpad not working (but pressing "enabling/disabling touchpad" button on keyboard causing "Touchpad able/disable" toast-notification. But nothing happens. working. Dont know why it starts to :confused:

2) (it's hardware problem, as I think) wifi does not working in "40MHz" HT-mode (in 2,4GHz). Only in "20MHz/40MHz" or "20MHz" modes. Second is in 5GHz mode it only see max 140 channel (5,700 GHz). All channels above it is invisible.

Thats all for now.

Version #32 is faster and smoother than previous versions but Wifi on my tab still see only 2.4Ghz not 5Ghz.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
I'm connected to 5Ghz on my wifi.

what is your wifi characteristics ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
Vielen herzlichen Dank / Thank you very much!

Will give it a try when I am back at home in about 8 hours.
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
This time I flashed without any problems. Just be aware it takes some minutes for the ROM to flash.

The ROM is a lot faster now, I haven't noticed any crashes or other issues as well. It still gets a little bit choppy but I can't be sure it's because of all the stuff I always install on my devices. Just a heads up, you need to use the latest Xposed v87 test if you want to use Xposed framework at all, I think it is related to the AOSP implementation of the November security patch. Otherwise it'll bootloop like it did to me the last I tried using the tablet. Also, if really want to use GravityBox, be aware that it will mess up the buttons if they're at the edges of the screen (when you enable master switch for navigation bar). Other than that it is an excellent daily driver. I tried resolving the lags by using L Speed Balanced profile (with some tweaks from me) and I think it's slightly better but it is no miracle cure by any means.

I like that the RAM managment is alright here, on CM12.1 (granted, I've been dirty flashing updates for half a year :D and I had installed a load of crap) I think I had memory leaks that reduced RAM to 200MB and caused massive lags until I cleaned apps from recents. It'd be amazing if we can have more interface tweaks and visual tweaks baked into the ROM for more compatibility. A night mode blue light filter would also be good, because I've been using f.lux (which hasn't been updated in months and I think was one of the buggy things in my tablet since before). Also, I think I found out what's causing my flickering issues I had reported before. The minimum brightness of the tablet is lower than CM and I think when I have a very bright white screen on, the backlight just starts upping its brightness. But only then. I increased the brightness a slight, but comfortable bit, and the issue seems to be a lot less visible. Still, it only occurs on mainly lit up pages. Sometimes you can't observe it at all.
[Asus Transformer TF701] francois77950:
Is it possible to update version 31 to 32 without losing the data and applications, as well as the layout icons shortcut on the desktop

It would be faster than installing applications one by one (2 hours each time)

thank you
[Asus Transformer TF701] Lopburi:
Fixed it by changed channel from 149 to 44 now my tab can see both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Thanks so much Timduru for spend time and energy bringing your Rom to our tab. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Yes, minor version updates like this you can dirty flash, meaning no wipes at all or max cache and Dalvik. Just flash rom, gapps and supersu.

Your setup will be as it was before.

Tim will usually mention if you need to clean install a new version update.

My experience is you get away only with so many dirty flashes though. If you experience weird issues that's the first thing you do: Wipe and clean install. If that doesn't help you can ask for help.

So get a good backup and restore routine going:

Use a launcher that has a backup/restore function

Get familiar with Titanium Backup or Carbon to backup your apps and their settings. Although Google got much better in restoring your apps they still push crap you uninstalled because you never use it or not on this device. (Reminder to myself: Have to go through the My Apps list again)

Use Dropsync/Dropbox, Google Drive or something similar to sync data between the device and online storage if you need data locally on your tablet. Then at least you don't have to copy the data after a full format, just setup the app.

Custom roms and flashing does not mix very well with intricate device setups - at least not for me. If you use Xposed, Gravitybox, themes, Greenify and elaborate home screen setups each rom flash turns into a PIA unless you love to do that stuff... And I don't. The longer I've been flashing the more bare bones my device setup became :cyclops:
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sasisco:
ppsspp (psp emulator) is working very slow and lagy. Changing cpu to perfomance governor and cpu-quiet to runnable is't resolve the problem. CM 12.1 are used before. Settings of ppsspp is the same as on cm 12.1.

Also. Dirty flash is turn first start to infinite loading of system ("loading apps..."). Wiping cache and dalvik before first start is not working. Only wipe cache,dalvik,data resolves this problem.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
I hate it when people post about solving their issues but omit to describe how exactly they solved it, so that others with the same issue could follow up.

That said, I am going to ask politely: Which option and where to find?

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

I confirm Performance is now normal with this version. Great work!
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
See post #2 ;)

good :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jerry1996:
I'm sorry Sir,

Indeed as mentioned in the second post in Settings --> Display there is an option "Wallpaper modes" which you have to set to normal.
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Test your Rom since yesterday and what should I say, it's absolutely amazing, thank you so much for your great work. One little thing I found :( In "dock" Menu there is a option call "right click send back". This is for the right button on Trackpad, but it doesn't work. No matter if the option is on or off, the function "back" is not given. Maybe you can fix it?

Will test the Rom more in the next Week.
[Asus Transformer TF701] filou76:
thanks @timduru

wow... having tesed your rom for some days. i had almost given up on this device. thanks a lot!!! mm running smoothly :laugh:

looking forward to nougat ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
If you like it, please donate so Tim has incentive to work on Nougat....

I donated.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
Sorry indeed, I didn't read that second post thorroughly enough so I missed that part. Thanks for pointing that out!

Yet I have issues using that option as after a while the homescreen transitions act up and would not draw correctly.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

I did as well. Good work needs to be honored.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Thank God I found this post. I had the same thing happen, thought I'd just need to update the recovery to the latest version to find it hadn't been updated in over a year. Starting to worry I searched this thread and did as you had to correct the data partition. You definitely weren't alone! The second attempt at a format worked fine so hopefully this rom will be good.

I'll be sure to donate if so, thanks for keeping this tablet alive :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jonbest:
Hi, i've been testing the rom for the last week or so and i'm very impressed. The only fault i've found so far echos racer290's comment. The right click on the keyboard can't be set to act as back key (it doesn't appear to work). Would be great if that could be fixed.

One donation coming your way :)

Anyone else have less than optimal wi-fi speeds? On 5mHz, using Ookla Speedtest app, I max at 46Mbps, yet my Nexus 6P (running 7.1.1) scores 76Mbps. Both devices 8 feet from the router and running Katkiss #32.

On 2.4mHz my speed drops to 42Mbps (big appt building), yet my 6P still get 67Mbps.
[Asus Transformer TF701] smcmanus69:
Awesome Firmware.

After wiping everything it installed like a dream.

The only Glitch I had was with my 128GB MicroSD card. It first said it was corrupt. Then after copying everything off. I put it in and tried the setup wizard. It tried to format. and the Tablet crashed and restarted. Does the same every time. :(

I've been using the SD Card for 6 months.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
My sd card reported the same thing. Since I didn't see anyone else with the issue I just unplugged it. I never had an issue with it on stock rom.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
What was your sdcard format ?

exFat is not supported for the moment, so you'd need to use another format like fat32, ntfs, f2fs.

Better to format it in a PC, and also make sure you eject it cleanly as the fsck for certain format on android is not the most reliable and can fail sometime.
[Asus Transformer TF701] smcmanus69:
I figured that was the case. So I copied everything off of it, and had the wizard step through and format. And part way through the format it crashed and reset.

I have a 64 GB. I will try and put that in and see if it sees it as corrupt. I will also format it as ntfs, on my PC and see if it works.

[Asus Transformer TF701] fdelente:
Thank you for your work Mr Duru! Excellent as always!
[Asus Transformer TF701] awd_fan:
Just my 2 cents worth on this. I've had the same problems with microSD cards- not recognized or getting corrupted- on several Android devices. A friend pointed me to SD Card Formatter v4.0 from sdcard.org (the people that set the sd card standards). Using it instead of the built in windows formatter, I haven't had any issues for a couple of years.

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html
[Asus Transformer TF701] DarkPaLadin:
Many thanks for the ROM. Will stick to it and hope for the future updates!

Some issues found:

- sometimes videos in YouTube have lags (for a bit of a second). There is no such promblems while playing videos from SD-card or Ethernet.

- multiwindow feature is almost unuseble, or I didn;t figure out how to use it - the apps are forceclosed, some times the feature doesn;t work at all
[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
Did you dirty-flash? I have no apps "forceclosed".
[Asus Transformer TF701] smcmanus69:
I have found Multiwindow works with little problems. Only issues I have is related to the environment and some windows not handling the reduced realestate.

My only issue is to get my extra large MicroSDs working. 128GB and 64GB
[Asus Transformer TF701] Neccie:
I too notice these hickups but not only on youtube. Kodi & VLC do have the same weird hickups randomly.

I did check with catlog (which has weird scrolling text issues) and found these messages which may be related looking at the timestamps as they match the times I was watching stuff.

I have no problem reading or writing to the microSD card, on the PC. I formatted it as NTFS, which you said was supported. And it was still not read, and still not formattable with the Image. I took my 64 GB microSD from my, Samsung S7Edgem (Which has lots of stuff). And it was showing as corrupt as well. Som it looks like the OS Can't support SD cards larger than 32GB. ??
[Asus Transformer TF701] DarkPaLadin:
I did the full-wipe

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

I use 64 gb - no problems. Works fine.

Maybe you are using it to extend internal memory?
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Thank you Tim!

Tim,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this ROM! I've been using this tab with sbdags last CROMi-x KK ROM. But KK is getting very long in the tooth. I'm so glad to see you picked up this tablet after I had given up on anyone else developing for it!

After you kept my TF101 alive for so long, I knew you could work wonders with this, given the chance :)

Will install tonight, test, and report back. Donation forthcoming after that!

Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF701] smcmanus69:
What do you have it formatted as? Did you format on your PC or on the Tablet?

I have tried to format the 128GB with my Tablet, and the Tablet crashed and restarts everytime.

And formatting on the PC didn't make it recognize it.

I'm thinking to revert back to another Firmware, and format the microSD and see if that works, when I come back. to KatKiss.

[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Thanks Tim! Installing now. Been testing v032 the last day or so, so far so good, just noticed some of the "stuttering" at times as well.

Also, is the K.A.T app compatible with this? Any reason to install it?

BTW, just sent you a little donation :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
I can see a difference with v033 already Tim! This is awesome. The stuttering I was always able to reproduce in Quadrant Standard is totally gone. Nice work!

v032 install without issues.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Colchiro:
Try it again. I've seen that so many times I cannot count.

I usually reboot recovery when I see that. I think it's a TWRP bug, but I'm no expert.
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Yes, similar happened to me with 032 AND 033 in CWM Recovery. I just rebooted back into recovery and it worked the second time. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Your are right, after five times of install and reboot, finally v033 works :) So far v033 very smooth no errors. The function right click send back still not work :( Maybe next Version. Thanks timduru for your excellent work.

This installed perfectly via CWM. Thank you. However it appears I lost root access. Ideas? Craig
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
You need to flash the supersu zip and gapps with the rom everytime.

The supersu app might need to be reinstalled from the playstore after a dirty flash too.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Chstephens:
Got it. My mistake. Thanks again
[Asus Transformer TF701] DarkPaLadin:
I've installed v32 via CWM. Now, I wanted to make an update with full wipe.

The wipe went well, but the tablet reboots during installation. It says some thing about being unable to mount System. The same in TWRP.

Just installed this

I just followed the instructions and installed this ROM. I did a full format, flashed the ROM, SUPERSU, GAPPS. then wiped the cache. All my tablet is doing is constantly booting into the recovery , says its formatting the cache, then rebooting again, back to the recovery to do the same thing. I am guessing that is not what it is supposed to do! :cyclops: Should I just try to flash it again??

I had the same thing happening, TWRP didn't want to mount anything after just formatting data. I only formatted /data to ext3 and then back to ext4 and rebooted recovery to fix it. Don't think cache matters. It's a bug in TWRP I guess...

Next time I want to format data, I would do it in fastboot or adb, not in this recovery.

Maybe [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] would not mind to have a look at this? Josh, you listening? Any idea why TWRP would mess up all the mount points after a format?

Just wanted to say how happy I am that I switched from CM12.1 to KatKiss KM 033.

I originally went from stock to CM12.1 last year because it was acting up and missing features I wanted.

Recently CM was running slow, occassionally freezing, and simply not running that great... But I stuck with it because it was still better than stock.

With KatKiss I haven't noticed any hiccups, runs great, more features, and I swear I'm getting twice the battery life. Awesome stuff.
