Is there any way to update #17 to #18 without formatting, or do you always have to do a format install?

edit I formatted cache and tried, failed to install. Then formatting system, failed to install.

Then I just formatted then both again, tried installing again, and it worked that time. It was the first time I was able to install without formatting data. And I'm up and running again in a matter of a few minutes. Maybe KatKiss just fails to install more often than other roms? Idk. CM is the only other I've used before KatKiss.

Hey Timduru, thanks for your great work on this ROM!

Is there any way to make the camera work in the future or is it inherently impossible with Nougat on this device?

Hi, why is device encryption not supported according to the first post? Not sure if the Tegra 4 has hardware encryption, I guess no, but the software based encryption should always work? I have all my devices encrypted.

I installed the rom and the pico GApps, but there is no browser app. Is that correct? I always had at least the standard browser in all Kitkass before. Which browser would you recommend regarding performance, as I'm hardly shaken by the slow TF300T and the even slower TF700T? Google on Playstore seems to only offer the Chrome, not the default Android browser (which has the same code base today afaik?).

I have the KatKiss-7.1_TF701T_017 with this issue: Next day opening the tablet and trying to unlock I always see that the keyboard dock doesn't work anymore. First I thought about the physical connection, but more weird, the volume buttons of the keyboard dock are working fine, but no other key. Detaching from the dock and reattaching makes it always work again. The keyboard is also stable and reliable while working and moving the tab around so I doubt it is a physical issue. Has anybody seen that? Changelog about latest v018 doesn't show anything related.

Then I just tried the device encryption, but it just restarts and does nothing about encryption. Why? Is the feature just disabled or not possible to provide? The CPU should be strong enough to have at least some software based encryption.

fix when having error message during install

Coming from android 5.1.1 cm12, I couldn't install this rom, had always this

"mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP at /system: Invalid argument"

error message.

The fix was to download and extract the rom zip and modify one line the file

/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

#before: mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system", "");

Afterwards, zip files into a zip file and update again (for example via adb sideload)

Maybe it helps others as well.

Amazing ROM with some little issues

Hi, thank you Tim for the great job.

I really like the Nougatella rom and I am looking forward to the next update maybee with the camera bugfix.

It´s important because of using skype or other conference apps.

I also found out, that the miracast option is not working - I tried with diffent dongels, but got the same results. After a few seconds it lose the connection and the Pad needs to search the dongle again. If you are using DLNA, or AirPlay mode it works fine, but you cant mirror the screen to TV.

Same behaviour I have by transfer my fotos from my Olympus TG-3 Camera via Wifi. The TF701T find the Wifi SID, starts the connection, cuts it again and the camera wifi is invisible for some seconds, like miracast and it worked with older rom versions.

I hobe you have an idea to fix this problems.

If I can support you - I will do. But sorry I am not a developer, only a poweruser and tester.

Thanks and please go one :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] fdelente:
Hello,

Excellent job as always! Installing went like a charm, and the tablet is very reactive and pleasing to use. I have one problem, is there a way to remove the search bar on top of the launcher screen? It wasn't there in Marshmallow and I don't remember installing a custom launcher.

Thanks for your work!
[Asus Transformer TF701] jguy:
timduru thanks for all your work. I think I remember reading somewhere that you don't own a tf701. If that is the case I have a well used but working TF701 I would like to donate to you. Maybe it could help development. If your interested send me a PM.

Hi Timduru,

I tried to use a SD card to extend the internal memory but it crashes regularly, so I formated back to an external memory.

Many thanks.

The current version 018 is not on your mirror yet, right? I tried updating to that but the Kang TWRP is not able to mount /system anymore. I tried by rebooting into TWRP and cold starting into TWRP as I had SD-card mount issues with Kang in the past. But it did not help. Again the question, is Kang TWRP the only option? Why isn't there some official TWRP for the TF701T? Maybe jguy could donate its TF701T to the TWRP devs :) [MENTION=8100591]gamel53[/MENTION]: I have an 64GB SD Card formatted as adopted (shared internal). So I guess your card could have I/O errors or someting. Maybe look at the logcat output for kernel messages.

Try CWM

It was a huge effort just to get TWRP working for this device, it was more than 2 years into it's life until there was a version.

I use Clockworkmod, and have no complaints. Yeah, you don't have touchscreen capabilities, but honestly, Tim's ROMs take like 4 button presses to install anyway :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] gamel53:
Many thanks msssm. So far, I finally have enough internal memory, so I will stay like that.

[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
I don't care about touchscreen... Any advantage about using CWM instead of TWRP-Kang? Where is the official mirror of CWM?

The issue that /system cannot be mounted anymore by TWRP is more serious. The Rom doesn't start anymore so /system seems to be seriously corrupted. Only thing I did was trying to encrypt the device, but after nothing happened the device was running fine. Seems I rebooted the first time now for another update to 018. So how can /system be damaged?

From TWRP adb shell:

# grep system /etc/fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /system ext4 rw
# mount /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 on /system failed: Invalid argument
# tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
tune2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
Flashing the rom zip is first formatting the /system partition, in TWRP it sometimes fails,

so as mentionned in the 1st post: either try simply to reflash the rom zip if it does.

(I typically have to reflash twice in a row, and it works fine) and / or try to format /system manually from TWRP before flashing the rom.

Hi Tim,

Any plans to get the Navbar button action working (i.e. Longpress to take screenshot)? If not, is there another way to take screenshots that I am missing?

Thank you, and great work so far with this!
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
still working on it.

got it to build, but not booting so far.

yeah long press action are planned, it's already in the code actually

it only needs a new way to set them genericly as the navbar buttons are fully customizable through ui tuner.

you don't need that to take a screenshot though

you can do it natively with power + vol down
[Asus Transformer TF701] silverchairbg:
What is the preferred recovery for this rom, I read TWRP for our tablets has multiple issues and no update is in sight. Is the CWM build from here (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2621051) suitable to flash this ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
That is what I use. No issues here. Sometimes the ROM flash fails on the first attempt, but just flash it again. Remember to say No when it offers to fix root, as well.

Yes, just "dirty flash" it. I did it from v18 to v19 with no issues. Instructions from post # 1 -

everytime (even when "dirty flashing") do the following steps:

Flash the rom

Flash the SuperSU zip

Flash gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot
[Asus Transformer TF701] UbuntuBhoy:
Anybody else getting messed up launcher layouts after doing a dirty flash to v19?

After flashing I have the default UI size (settings/display/display size) but my dock bar is too squashed looking. I then set the UI size up one to large which looks fine on portrait but if I turn the tablet to use it in landscape the dock goes off screen. The attached images will explain better.

If this affecting just me or anyone else?

[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
I did that from 17 to 18 and I got the tablet freezing after a while or crashing apps or Google Play restarting. I'll try another dirty flash to 19 now before full wiping. The full wipe always means to reconfigure all system settings which I like to avoid while keeping up to date with every new rom version.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
what you describe is usually what happens when you forget to flash gapps at the same time than the rom.

So just make sure you follow the install instructions and flash all 3 zips together and all should be fine.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AllexBast:
Timduru, can I delete the formatting string of the system partition from the update script and add the script of the supersu? As a result, you can easily update;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
The freezing issues were gone after removing the adopted SD. Around 3 apps were missing but the rest and data was still there so I did not need to wipe. That SD seems to have some IO errors, I'm going to check that with mkfs.ext4 -cc later...

Another issue: I didn't try media files so far, now I noticed playing audio and video, the audio playback volume is very low, I can only hear some low volume at high frequency when listening close to the speaker. Is there any tool required similar to the TF300T where you provided some tuning for the audio output? Or does it look like the speaker is broken? I never tried with the stock rom.

Hello. Tim, thank you so much for keeping alive our tablet. You made a great work. I recently installed this ROM and it works perfectly well until now. The only thing I could say is that I miss the "outdoor mode" of the stock ROM, which boosts screen brightness beyond normal. It's quite useful during a sunny day. Is there a way to activate it ? Or is it possible to integrate this function in your ROM, Tim ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] johnciaccio:
Just a shout out to timduru here for a great rom. Hope you keep working on it as I have to keep this tablet for a while longer. I see there others here as well still!
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
I think the way the stock rom was doing it, was to offset the brightness to a lower value in normal mode,

and free the brightness to the max value allowed by the backlight panel in outdoor mode.

In this rom there's no offset in normal operation, so you can access the max value directly in manual mode without having to switch modes.

And in adaptive mode it'll switch also directly to the max value under the sun (and you can also offset it with the adaptive mode slider)

You can check the current level with :

cat /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness

max is 255
