thank you back

[Asus Transformer TF701] Neccie:
Apart from the usuall TWRP bug with the system partition everything went well over here.

Make sure your download isn't corrupted to start with (check the file with the checksum provided) and come back with more detailed information, no idea what the twrp is off and sstarts means....
[Asus Transformer TF701] yoyo-went:
I am currently with the ext4 file system, with the previous version! I made a backup of this one. Can not make a simple update, I have to format everything to install it?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
No it's just that you have to format /system to another file system and back to ext4 if you get the "cannot mount this or that" error. Your data stays untouched, so it is a simple update. With a little wrinkle ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] yoyo-went:
Thank you for your answer, so the way to go: change the format of the system, I install the maj, and I put in ext4?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
No, you flash the rom. IF you get the error you change file system on the /system partition to ext3, then right back to ext4. Then flash the rom again
[Asus Transformer TF701] yoyo-went:
Thank you very much for your answer, should I also flash gapps?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Neccie:
Yes read (RTFM) the OP starting post. Always flash rom, superSU, and gapps then clear dalvik/cache and reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
I have the current latest version installed. Since many versions the SD-Card of the tablet itself doesn't work anymore. I don't mean the dock SD-Card that I have not tried but the Mini-SD of the tablet. Inserting an already formatted SD it appears readable in the filemanager but I have no permission to write or change the data. Trying to reformat the SD as I would prefer it to be formatted as adopted/internal usage, the dialog crashes. Can anybody reproduce that? I have wiped Dalvik and Cache but not the data, and I would only like to delete the data if that would solve the issue. Otherwise before wiping data, I would like to save a Titanium Backup to the SD, which doesn't work either.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nektopoli:
What format are you flashing the MicroSD card in, NTFS; FAT32; exFAT?

NP
[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
This one is vfat or f2fs, not sure. But shouldn't it be possible to reformat it with the Android toolchain?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Format it to fat32 in Windows and the card will be fine
[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
To be honest, I have no windows at all. So really, which filesystem do I need to format? I was not aware that I need to format SD cards before I can use them on Android.

Can TWRP format the external SD? I have some mkfs.vfat, mkfs.fat, mkfs.exfat...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nektopoli:
The microSD card must be formatted "fat32" in order for the tablet to read it.

Hello,

Did a full wipe (from TWRP).

Installed (in order):

ROM: KatKiss-7.1_TF701T_027

SuperSU: SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502

gapps: open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-20180125

Wipe Dalvik/Cache

Google play Services keeps crashing, set up email (Gmail) crashes - says "Google Play services keeps stopping"

Play store crashes.

I turned on the wifi as I was setting up the language in the initial startup screen...but it kept crashing then also - so I chose the restore from another device as I had my Galaxy S7 sitting right here. That seemed to get things going..

Unfortunately I have this Google issue.

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Dan
[Asus Transformer TF701] danielzink:
Due to issues I just decided to bin Nougatella and go with Katshmallow.

[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:

[Asus Transformer TF701] danielzink:
Up and running with pico.

Thanks again !

Now if I could just get rid of that pesky search bar...free up some real estate - plus it doesn't really seem to do much for me... :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nektopoli:
Again, I only have a TF201 but to get rid of the google search bar on the 201, press and hold the main screen to pull up the;

Hi,

Thanks for your work, my TF701t is like a new one :)!

I only have a trouble with my dock, its battery stays at 0%... When I plug it I have two batteries and I can use the keyboard...

I'm the only one having this trouble?

I came from Katkiss 6.0, no trouble with that...

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Morsure:
It's so strange,

I had batteries before flashing KatKiss 7.1.2 and no more after,

I recharge it all night long and it seems it works again...

Sorry for the SPAM ^^.

Hi timduro, thanks a lot for your great work, my TF701 runs like a new tablet after switching to your KatKiss 6.0 Rom. I'ld like to switch to the 7.1.2 but won't miss the camera. So are there any hint/tips/updates to use the camera with KatKiss Nougatella?

[Asus Transformer TF701] mikekoz:
I would also like to thank the developer (s) for making this rom! I have the 7.1.1 version on my Transformer, and it runs better than it did when I first bought it 4-5 years ago. I have now had three third party roms on this tablet since Asus shamefully dropped support for it years ago. Proof that updates could be pushed out to Android devices just as often as Apple's! Thank you...thank you.....thank you!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
I did and it worked. But I can't access the new adopted SD. To start from scratch I tried reformatting to mobile SD. That worked and the SD is accessible. But now trying to reformat as internal (adopted) does not work. The mobile SD is visible in Settings->Storage but selecting that makes the Settings crash.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
I think you are over complicating things. How are you formatting? There's no need for "mobileSD" or "internal adopted" or any such thing.

Just pop the card into your PC, right click it in Win Explorer, chose "Format", set format to fat32, leave it on Quick format, let it finish, pop it back into the tablet and it should see it. if not, the card may be damaged or incompatible with this tablet. What brand/kind is it?
[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
I think you over simplify things, as this does not solve the task to get an adopted SD :). I like to have an internal adopted SD that is encrypted. Then beside I don't have seen a Windows since 20 years and don't think I need it for Android.

I know about weak or broken SDs, this one is a sane and genuine Samsung, checked with b3 with a complete write/read without issues.

Can you reproduce that within the Android Settings, formatting as mobile and back as internal makes the Settings application crash?

The mobile SD is working as you described, just can't get is working as adopted.

Problems flashing the ROM

I tried to flash KatKiss-7.1_TF701T_028 on my TF701t which has CWM 6.0.5.1 installed. This produces an error message "failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 at ext" - I didn't get any more 'cause then it starts to reboot (automatically) and I get to the "your device is unlocked" loading Andoid screen and it sticks there for good - or at least until I get bored and boot back to recovery.

I eventually gave up and flashed KatKiss-6.0_TF701T_033 - which worked absolutely fine and is running OK.

From Googling this problem, it seems to be related to CWM. I therefore looked at replacing it with TWRP, but if I go to its download site, Asus TF701t is not listed as a supported device.

So two questions:

1. Any ideas on the problem?

2. What version of TWRP do TF701t owners use and where do I get it?

[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
There is only an unofficial "Kang" version of TWRP for the 701. You'll find it in the development section. Or original development - cannot remember [emoji16]

Is it somehow possible to flash this rom with fastboot? My screen is broken and i only use it with an external monitor. Therefore twrp is not an option
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
You can flash the stock blob in fastboot, but not flashable zips. You may want to research along the lines of adb sideloading the rom zip, but without recovery that is going to be a challenge too.

Found something along those lines here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353234 but I do not have first hand experience with that idea and do not know if your twrp version supports it.

But it may be a start....
[Asus Transformer TF701] lennykravitz2004:
Not sure what I am missing in the process/steps for flashing this time, however I am unable to get v28 flashed successfully. When I say I have literally wiped and formatted (almost) everything, I mean everything TWRP will allow me to do. Only thing I have not done is format internal storage in TWRP. Flash shows as success. Reboot, and still on v27. This is starting to feel like the cliche definition of insanity (i.e. doing the same thing over and over yet expecting different results). Format Data was done both through TWRP and through Power+Vol Down (or is it Vol Up?) menu.

Any suggestions on what step(s) I may need to add in, could have done incorrectly, or completed out of order?

Hi Timduru, awesome job on the rom, didn't think that Nougat for Tegra-4 was possible. I am interesting in doing a Nougat port for a very little know Tegra-4 device, can you point me to some resources where I can start and learn about the porting process? (A beginners guide of some sort would be great) The device currently runs 4.4.2, and I am assuming it will be an very involve/challenging process. But I love a challenge.

[Asus Transformer TF701] janlwi:
Hi ! Problem : installed Nougatella #27 2 moths ago. Worked fine. But, yesterday, the battery stopped charging and the tablet stopped at boot : "android" on screen.

Booted in recovery with CWM and stopped the tablet because I had no time to fix the problem. Today, the tablet does not start. Any fix ? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF701] lennykravitz2004:
Battery could be shot.

Charging cable could be going bad.

Charging port on tablet could be bad.

For mine, I seem to have to get a new cable every so often. Right now, mine does not charge right away... meaning I have to plug it in, unplug it, then try putting the cable in at a slight angle (no idea if I'm damaging anything doing that). And then there's the old Nintendo cartridge trick... try blowing into the charging port for dust or crud. That's worked for me before too.

And then there's always this, which I found on the web.

https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/185995/Why+is+my+tablet+not+charging+if+the+cable+is+conected

First disconnect your tablet from the power cord. Then hold down the on/off button for 30 seconds & while STILL HOLDING DOWN the POWER BUTTON, SLOWLY insert the power cable. Continue to hold down the power button for up to 30 seconds,

Good luck, and let us know if it gets going again.
[Asus Transformer TF701] janlwi:
Hi ! Many thanks. Will try. I thought Android was driving the charge. Perhaps the socket.
[Asus Transformer TF701] ssteff50:
some time ago i also had the problem that the tablet did not charge. I found a trick that it helps to keep it on the charger for nearly a day, although it didn't charge at the beginning suddenly it started again and worked normally.

Thanks. But, nope. I succeed to charge the battery with the keyboard. Green Led. But, dont start. Strange...

Hi,

after a full wipe and a clean install of v30 (v30 + gapps + super SU) the tab starts the initial wizard.

After choosing language (French) and location (France), the wizard asks which setup to start : restore from cloud/another device, or from scratch. Whatever I choose, just after that, the wizard crashes and goes back to language selection ...

Any idea please ?

I have a quick question and hopefully it is easy to resolve, but I can't find the solution.

I am using the german keyboard layout for the hardware keyboard. After some testing I solved to change the layout to german.

But now after some days I have the problem that keys for q w r z u o are "function keys" and not the standard letters. For example with q i can enable or disable wifi, but i can't write a q or @.

Can someone give me a hint where I made a mistake or what I changed accidentially?

No idea, haven't heard of this before, but... maybe a couple of things to try...

or

Hopefully one of these gets you fixed up.

unfortunately not.

At the first possibility no override action is defined and Keyboard sortcuts helper seems to be a deadlink as nothing happens.

[Asus Transformer TF701] khaytsus:
I have a TF701 I don't use very much because it's super slow, but I have some extra time this weekend so I saw this ROM and figured I'd give it a try. So far so good, but for the life of me I can't get Titanium Backup to realize it's paid! On launch it just says "Checking license..." for about 30s then says the play store is taking too long to respond. I've had TiBu pro (from market) for years, I've never once had a problem with it so this is odd to me.

I've tried reinstalling the Pro key just to make sure it wasn't something odd there... Tablet is online, google play store works, other paid apps work.. just not TiBu pro. TiBu itself seems okay, but.. meh. Yes, this might be TiBu related but I've never had this issue before.

I found another app doing the same thing... Locus Pro. It tries to verify my license as well and stalls; so it's not TiBu.

Another odd thing; I swear 5ghz wifi was working before but it doesn't show my 5ghz router at all.

Here's what I'm using/have tried

twrp-3210_tf701t-acemod.img and twrp-3.1.0-0-tf701t_final_full_f2fs_v6.img as well as area51 "kang" 2.8.7.0 twrp

KatKiss-7.1_TF701T_030.zip

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180702.zip

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip

I've wiped everything several times, tried the two twrp versions above, made sure opengapps was up to date, etc. I really don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong here. I'm going to try older twp next I guess. Nope, the 2.8.7.0 area51 "kang" twrp, same.

Argh, I even just tried the older 6.0 KatKiss, opengapps 6.0 etc of course.. Same. :(

Okay, SOB. Older gapps and it works. I don't know if this will update in the background and break itself. I'm going to try to figure out when this started happening, but I flashed 031218 gapps and it works. Gapps from 051718 were okay, trying later ones.
[Asus Transformer TF701] steampoweredlawngnome:
Stuck at bootsplash with ADB

I've got to be doing something wrong, but when I flash KatKiss 7.1 build 30, it never gets past the ASUS bootloader screen (though ADB becomes active and I can get a root shell).

The ROM never actually boots though. I've tried fastboot erasing every partition (boot, userdata, system, recovery, staging, cache), formatting /system as ext3 and back to ext4, installing direct to ext3, installing different TWRP's (I've tried 2.8.7.0-area51 and 3.2.1.0-acemod), I've tried formatting /data after installing the ROM but before installing superSU and gapps, and I've tried omitting superSU and gapps just to see if it'll boot. I'm on the US-11.4.1.29 bootloader, and I've tried fastboot flash boot boot.img from the WW-11.4.0.30. It should go without saying (but I'm going to say it anyway) that of course I erase cache/dalvik after each attempt. I also have verified that the md5 matches, and in fact adb pushed the .md5 file along with the .zip so that the installer itself could verify the file. I saw in some forum that you should format the /data partition to f2fs, but TWRP on this device doesn't support that, so I have not tried that.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF701] khaytsus:
After finally realizing that I was having huge problems with this ROM solely because I was using a broken Gapps (when Google broke paid authentication validation for a while) I've been using this ROM ever since and I'm very happy and wanted to thank the developer and encourage anyone still using a TF701 to try this ROM if they have not. Battery life is great (with a workaround below), no problem with latency (I'm using f2fs, never seriously tried ext4), no slow boots, no random reboots, no slow wakeups.. It seriously makes the TF701 very usable again; something I'd really never seen on the stock ROM or on the other ROMs I'd tried. I use the TF701 daily now as opposed to it sitting on a shelf because it was so slow.

As mentioned above, battery life is great... Maybe 5% a day idle usage. Except after a reboot, I have to kill klogd or it runs constantly taking 30% cpu, keeping the device slightly warmer (you can feel the difference once it's stopped for a while) and uses a LOT more battery when idle; maybe 10-15%/hr. It's not a huge deal, I can probably automate it with Tasker. For now I just kill it manually. It then restarts itself and it's fine!

One other quirk which isn't a huge deal.. Any bug dump causes the ROM to reboot. That includes me trying to send logs for apps that crash, to get battery stats, etc... Kind of annoying but again, not something I do daily so it's not a huge deal.

Dock Battery not completely recognized

Version 31 is great! Very stable, fast, and as others have said, it breaths new life into the 701. Thank you so much for the regular updates. I rely heavily on using the Asus dock. The keyboard works, but the battery isn't completely recognized by Android. Both the icons are in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and the correct percentages are shown. However, under Settings\Battery, only the tablet battery is shown. I've let the tablet battery completely run down and it never switches over to the dock battery...it just dies as if the dock battery doesn't exist. I've been running cyanogenmod 12.1 and both batteries are recongnized in Settings and are used. I would appreciate very much if you would take a look at this. I've been checking each of the rom versions since I first noticed it in v23. I have 3 TF701s with docks and your work has kept them relavent.
[Asus Transformer TF701] lennykravitz2004:
Well... you made me curious, so I tried out what you outlined above. When I let my tablet battery run down, it switched over fine to the dock battery. "Technically", I did not see it, however my tablet was at 70% and dock at 99% this morning. When I got home from work, the tablet was at 88% and dock at 11%. Not exactly great, nevertheless, it seemed to work.

Not sure what to say if it's all three of your tablets though... otherwise I would have thought maybe you have a bad connection/pin or something like that. Could it be something with the version of dock you have? There's some kind of issue with the docks made before Dec 2014 or something... I don't recall exactly the date, but it was along those lines. If you search online, I bet you'll find something on it. Maybe it's that, maybe it's not.
[Asus Transformer TF701] silverchairbg:
Factory data reset does absolutely nothing. I've got 2 tf701s, one for each of my kids. The 4 year old managed to take up all 32 Gbs of space and I decided that instead of manual clean up, it would be much easier to reset the tablet, but alas, clicking that button does nothing. Tried on the other tablet just to be sure, same thing. Would be great if that could be fixed, although I see timduru has stopped active development and only applies hotfixes (which don't get me wrong, is admirable!)
