Yes I'm using KANG TWRP,

would be good to have f2fs support at some point, I've added it in katkernel but we'd need the recovery to support it too :)

should help even further the perfs :)

About bluetooth I've fixed it .. mostly besides audio ;)

Well it's not the bluetooth that is the issue now but the audio hal crashing after pairing to a device ;)

I only have one speaker to test with though, not sure if it's general to all bt audio devices or not.

But at least now bluetooth HID devices (keyboards..) & tethering are working :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
Now, this might be a silly question, but what happens when you try to play audio from the TF701T to your Bluetooth speaker? Does it start lagging, crashing, and not playing any sound? Because if so, I think I might know how to fix it.

I have the issue on CM12.1 and I think people have it on other CM-based and perhaps all custom ROMs. I fixed it by connecting my BT speaker to the tablet and then turning off Phone audio from the device's settings in the Bluetooth menu. I have no idea how it works and why it is happening, I just "felt" I should do it (lol), but the moment I turned that off the tablet stopped panicking while connected to a speaker and started playing music through it with no problems whatsoever. Of course, you probably can't use any app that is on the Phone channel, but I've never used it anyway. I could be wrong about this, I'm not a dev at all, but could you be facing the same issue that no one has fixed yet (I believe?)? If not, then I hope you can find a solution to whatever the problem is :). Maybe I can even use a BT device for calls.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
Indeed, thanks for the tip :)

unchecking phone audio on the device makes bluetooth audio work fine :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
Really glad I could help! I'm curious, though, what could be causing this strange problem? Something with the ASUS kernel and non-ASUS libs (or whatever it could be, I am a huge layman :D)? A conflict between hardware and software?

Anyhow, this ROM looks amazing, after you release the next version with fixed autorotation I am going to install this. Starting to backup all my old stuff right now :D.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
once the bt device is registered it tries to route through the audio hal libs , it seems one of the libs cannot handle that type of stream and crashes.

That's the problem with having very old HAL blobs ;)

need to torture them and workaround all they cannot handle.

yeah autorotation and DRM fixed in the next version :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Mate, I'd be happy to help but not in this thread. Your problem has nothing to do with this rom, so start a thread in the Help &Troubleshooting section. And when you write the OP let us know if you can boot into fastboot.

i've one similar error.( but i've got cmw)

During the flash( i've do alla format format/data-chache-system before starting) the zip can't be installed due to erroer.. so i've restarted in recovery, FORMAT/SYSTEM in advanced menù( again), try to install zip and now is ok....

Is it possible to fix the "right click sends back" bug at Dock options in your next Version? At the moment it has no function whether if its on or off.

But now repluging of the cable doesn't help. When the tablet is turned off it charges normally. It is charging normally if I plug in the cable directly to the tablet without the dock. Some time it helps it re-attach the dock and the tablet. But there is no stability.

The ROM is great, but this issue kills it for me, becouse it makes the tablet unreliable.
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Very strange, I never have this problem with my Tf701t or with the dock. I plugged in the cable in Dock and charged both, Dock and Tablet until 100%. Maybe yes a Hardware Problem? Did you try another Rom to compare the issue?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Bozzaspad:
Hi guys

Very interested in this, couple of quick questions. I have never used a modded rom (sorry if not right terminology), I have reset my tf701 with a factory reset, do I need to do anything else before I download the stuff from 1st page? I'll research what those files are as I have no idea, does this ROM have Google play store etc? Also looked at the homepage and can't see any reference to tf701, just want to make sure I'm on the right track as don't want to break my tf701. Thanks in advance everyone

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Hi guys, sorry already got a prob, downloaded everything, first instruction is backup everything, I've noticed a comment regarding twrp, so went to official site but only tf700 not 701 is mentioned, can I use something else?

Then goes on about boot into recovery (I'll find out), do a full wipe (I'll find out), I've already put Rom, supersu and gaps on my micro sd,then it says make sure you know how to push them back through adb, I have no idea what this means either, any help would be welcome. Thank you :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Hi Bozzaspad,

First things first, have you unlocked the tab using the Asus tool? You mentioned a factory reset first, but nothing about unlocking the tablet. You'll also want to have a recovery image handy.

You can get the tool (TF701T_Unlock.rar) from here under utilities:

https://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/1/0/16/aTd9aK9EFsVU1cMo/32/

I use ClockWorkMod rather than TWRP, but either will work (TWRP has touch screen capabilities, CWM uses the volume and power buttons to make selections.) Here is a CWM recovery image for this tab:

http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/recovery/

Installation instructions:

-Unlock your device using the ASUS Unlock tool.

-Boot in once and execute: adb reboot bootloader

To permanently flash the recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

To do the above you'll need the ADB drivers, and connect your tab via USB to your Windows PC, then open a command window to execute. You can do a Google search for "asus adb drivers"

I hope this helps get you started. There is a lot of how-to's on first unlocking/flashing in the Q and A section on this forum (and good ol' Google :) )
[Asus Transformer TF701] Bozzaspad:
Hi,

Thank you for responding to my questions, I didn't think I was going to get an answer lol. I have played with tablet while I was waiting g for a response, I'm sorry if I sound like a total boob.

I unlocked the bootloader of my tablet a few years ago, which I had to do to root it I believe. The only reason I did this was to uninstall things I didn't use as it started getting g a little choppy compared to another newer tab and my phone.

It wasn't perfect but did for time being until I saw this ROM, and now Tim's 7.1 :)

Anyway, apparantly Cwm and twrp are already installed on my tab, I don't remember doing that so god knows how old and so is SuperSU, again don't remember installing that, anyway I did the power button and volume thingy and I get 3 options rk an android pic and wipe, I did wipe but when I try rk it says error.

I'm going to re read it post tomorrow and get a few more bits ready and then try to progress lol

Thank you again and sorry for long post.

You may want to start here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688891

I wrote that guide for the TF700 but the process of getting a recovery and rom onto this tablet are the same. Just different files you have to flash.

There is no official TWRP, the kanged version is here: https://xdaforums.com/transformer-t...overy-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3121989

GrouchyPunisher gave you the link for the CWM recovery. Which one you flash is up to you.

Before you do that check your bootloader version though and make sure you are on the latest one.

Once you got the recovery installed you use it to format your data partition, then you are ready to flash rom, gapps and SuperSU.

Read twice, flash once!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Bozzaspad:
Thank you to you also, I will have a read of the whole thing that you have sent me a link to this evening, I do have another question but will wait till I have read all the advice and information that you have both given me and linked to.

Thank you again :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] effgee:
Thanks for this ROM

Hey just wanted to let you know thanks for this ROM. Its a bit of an older device and completely abandoned by ASUS but its still a decent tablet worth updating. Just installed this ROM yesterday from CM 12 and went fairly smoothly...

I did end up having to format every single partition though and at one point my cache partition and data partition got completely hosed and unmountable. I had to do this because even though I ran factory reset + wipe data, it wouldnt wipe no matter how many times. This was NOT your ROMS fault, I think my recovery was derping.

Fix it all from terminal in TWRP and all is well. Will eventually try your new ROM but I want xposed and such thing doesnt exist yet for 7 as you well know. Thanks again!

One question, you mention F2FS support in your kernel.. but what recovery will let me format to F2FS? The TWRP I found for this does not have that option. ?

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
None do, or well all do, you just need to format it manually from adb after pushing the utils basically ;P

problem is subsequently update / install from the recovery after that as it doesn't know to mount it either ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Is there any updates in working process, or only for Nougat Version?
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
Only Nougat
[Asus Transformer TF701] juicyjeff:
First of all thanks for the great rom. Only one thing is annoying me is the graphic artifact for the video is there a way to get rid of that can i convert my video in another format so i can see the picture clearly in the gallery its not a big thing but it annoy me haha thanks in advance and thanks for all the hard work your a chief timduru
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
It has normally been fixed since V020 in Nougat.

If you didn't do a clean flash of that version since then,

you however need to clear Data of Apps: Media Storage + Gallery + reboot in order for them to be regenerated
[Asus Transformer TF701] jhermit:
So I still use my trusted TF701 almost daily, but started running into apps that require more recent Android like Hulu for live TV. So I installed this and love it! TWRP gave me some fits, but got it worked out. I have only ran it for 4 hours but looks really good.

Thank you for your work. Will run it a couple of days and then donate!
[Asus Transformer TF701] jhermit:
Still running great. Donated.
[Asus Transformer TF701] juicyjeff:
Ok thank you timduru your the best, im triyng to resolve the issue but im not able to im clearing data of media storage + gallery + the reboot i tried to force stop them and it still not able resolve te issue. Can you or someone explain me what is a clean or dirty flash maybe its cause i didnt do that? If theres a way to resolve that i will try anything haha. Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Just to be clear, you ARE flashing the Nougat version of KatKiss, and not KatshMallow, right? If so, you should move over to the other thread.

no im on katkiss 6.0.1 i want to resolve the artifact issue on vide on katkiss 6.0.1 maybe timduru mistook himself cause i ask question on the nougat thread too i dont know just wanna resolve that issue if its possible the tablet would be perfect apart from the 5mp camera hahaha i dont get it why they did a 8mp on tf700t and a 5mp on the 701t.... would be really a perfect tab ahha
[Asus Transformer TF701] juicyjeff:
Or maybe he wanted me to switch over the nougat rom but im waiting for the camera to work as soon as the camera work i will switch over the nougat just let me know if theres a way to resolve the artifact issue on video or not on the the katkiss 6.0.1 thank you

Flashed KatshMallow 6.0.1 to TF701T succesful, works perfect. Tim is a hero! Donated.

Extra helpful for newbies: posts # 188 and #190 in this thread, and Tim's this thread start page of course

* berndblb # 190 (--> Beginners Guide to root and flashing a custom ROM on the TF700T) helped a lot for my TF701T;

* connect tablet to the computer with asus cable, not the dock usb port

* unlocking didn't pass Google, deleting Google account was the solution (so no need to go back to factory reset);

* commands as in # 188 (from old (2008) IMAC with Ubuntu 16.04) and in bernddblb Beginners Guide to root and flashing a custom ROM on the TF700T;

* I used CWM v06.05.01 swipe, but swipe doesn't work always, use on/off button to execute. Works perfect!

* Tim says "wipe all". What is "all"? In CWM I did two actions: wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition;

* after installation: CWM--> advanced --> wipe dalvik cache.

thanks to Tim, GrouchyPunisher and berndblb

As always: 100 hours preparing and 30 minutes to do the trick.

I only want to confirm that autoratation is working. Thanks for this great ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
I managed to get the ROM working after some issues with formatting my partitions. This recovery really needs an update...

My brightness levels are constantly changing/flickering, even though I have adaptive brightness disabled in my settings. I know the light sensor in the tablet is buggy and always causes flickering, but now the flicker is ALWAYS there. Anyone else have this issue? Also, the interface and performance feels a bit laggy. Will it get better after the ROM settles in?
[Asus Transformer TF701] erzherzog:
I can't confirm that. No flicker here. And it doesn't matter whether adaptive brightness is on or off.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
No problems for me either,

if adaptive brightness is off in settings it doesn't rely on the sensor, so the brightness level is staying constant and shouldn't flicker.

It kinda sound as if something is bad with your installation.

You mention that you had issues formatting ?

Are you sure that it effectively formatted data and that you don't have left overs from a previous rom ?

That could definitely bring that kind of issues if settings are mixed up.

Also make sure that if / when you restore things that you never restore system apps / settings.

Overall if I were you I'd try to reinstall.

format /data

flash the rom + supersu + gapps in one shot

wipe cache

reboot.

In the setup process do not choose to restore apps and see if that helps.

That way you have a full clean setup.

As for lagging, I have no lags on 031 here with a fresh install and my main apps restored.

(performance on 030b were not as good, so it also depends which version you installed)

But after a fresh install it takes a bit of time to settle, it also depends what you restore and if you have lots of medias in your storage.

As apps are going to update and mediascanner is going to scan everything all around.

One of the first thing I do myself is set a mediascanner "white list" filter to /system/media and reboot

that way it doesn't scan everything all the time ;)

and I simply use a filemanager to open media I want :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
Just like it says in the installation instructions ;)

definitely not the way you did ;P

Could be the formatting that corrupted something yeah, might have some scan going on in the background.

Another difference I see is that I use pico gapps, maybe try it with pico next time.

Maybe there's something in nano that goes crazy.

For the brightness I just don't see why, if adaptive is turned off the level stays constant. So that would indicate that turning off the setting didn't work for your setup,

but I don't really see how it's possible.

Or maybe it was not able to save the setting because of data partition corruption if that's your root issue maybe.. difficult to say.

When you try again and if it happens again, grab a full set of logs as indicated in the "How to report" link

Maybe I'll spot something.
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
So I should just use the "Format Data" option in the main Wipe screen of TWRP for a full wipe (internal storage included)? Because what I've always done is to just go to Advanced wipe and pick all partitions (both caches, /system, and /data) and just swipe-to-wipe. This has also always lead me to problems with some partition (mainly /cache) always failing to format with ext4 and having to reformat it into another FS and back to ext4 to work again. I learned to live like that :D with this recovery - some partition never manages to wipe properly. Have I been doing it all wrong?!
[Asus Transformer TF701] erzherzog:
Seems everybody tries to find his own way to circumvent the deficiencies of this recovery.

I newer wipe partions. I always reformat /system, /cache (and /data - if necessary :((( ) with an ext4 file system.

Before reformatting I always unmount all partitions.

In case the recovery complains about a partition - unable to mount - I reformat that portion ext3 and then ext4 again.

And yes, flashing KatKiss behaves a bit strange. Seems it only works on a freshly formatted unmounted /system partition.

Whats about xposed app's like gravitybox or something like that? Which xposed Version works on your Rom, any experience?

[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
I don't use xposed myself,

but I just flashed xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip + XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk

and it booted fine for me and the app reports that the xposed status is active.
[Asus Transformer TF701] racer290:
Perfect to hear, think I test your rom on Weekend :D I will give you feedback
[Asus Transformer TF701] erzherzog:
Same here. But the situation changes, when modules are activated.

I'm not a fan of Xposed. It gives more trouble than benefit. Most ROM creators refuse to support Xposed. Therefore I don't care if Xposed doesn't work for this ROM.

The first thing I noticed is, using another launcher (tested with Action Launcher and Nova Launcher), you can't see the wallpaper. Instead you will only see a black wallpaper...

[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
Ok, tried #31 of KitKass on my TF701 and while it works in general performance is mediocre at best. I ran some benchs and Geekbench 4 shows a single core performance at 2/3 of what it should be and the multicore performance is even lower (!). Same goes for 3D Mark: about 6500 instead of 9300 points.

Back at CM 12.1 performance is good again.

So there seems to be a problem with the kernel on this build which prevents the Tegra4 in the TF701 to run at it's usual speed.

Any idea how to fix this? Do you need more intel on this for a fix?
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
surface flinger crashing is heavy enough ;)

So I have to fix that first, then move one step further and so on.

Next version will unmount /system first in case you didn't follow the instructions in the 1st post and formatted /system in the recovery

It'd require ramdisk changes, but first we'd need a recovery that supports f2fs at all :)

using f2fs on the internal storage should help as the first step :)
