kat boost

This rom just gets better and better!

when you say kat boost included does that mean there is no need to install katapp ?

Thanks for all your hard work! I have one request if it's possible? When I plug in my Ethernet USB dongle it works, but it doesn't show up in the network settings so I can't set the ip! if you could find a way to get it to show up that would be nice!
Thanks

Thank you Timduru !
Will install this new one as soon as I'm back to home.

To mgeniusm : Katkernel is included, not KatApp...

Tim, you have outdone yourself with KatKiss - this ROM is running great!

Oh yea, and the changelog in the Control Center is sweet and a nice touch!

THANK YOU!

Ho yes, my bad... Didn't notice that... So, I have the same question...
I think this is related to some features of katapp, like scanning media folders may be, but I don't remember where I read a post about this, in EOS4 or katkernel thread...

You could copy file to microsd

I'm having problems installing apps and updating apps from play store! Tells me there is a problem with server. Tried installing gapps from new, also tried clearing playstore cache but to no avail!
Anybody any ideas?

Did you do a full clean wipe (wipe caches, factory reset, and wipe system) and use the gapps posted on this thread in the OP? I had no problems with the playstore that's why I asked.

I don't see any mention of fsync_on.zip, can I still apply this to re-enable fsync?
Ah yep good call, I've added it to the first post :)
But yeah basically the rom has the full KatKernel zip included, so everything that applied if you were flashing KatKernel separately still applies to the rom.

Now that the KAT kernel is included, how does the KAT app fit in?
Same as before, KatKernel and K.A.T app are separate things.
So you can install K.A.T app with the rom.

Another question, I see mention of the inclusion of the T-Mobile theme chooser. Does this mean I don't need to use the "improved" version mentioned in the TeamEOS ROM thread anymore?
You still need it.

Nice :)
Do you think you could make a 2nd version, thinner banner removing the 'by timduru' , so that it fits better for signatures ? :)
I've posted the original image there for you to make it easier: http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/KatKiss/images/TimKiss.jpg

Hey Tim can u integrate Halo?
Can see about that later on, might not be easy as the window manager has been customized quite a bit for EOS, and Halo needs the PA customizations. Would be more doable if I rebase the window manager onto PA WM directly later on I think. :)

I'm having problems installing apps and updating apps from play store! Tells me there is a problem with server. Tried installing gapps from new, also tried clearing playstore cache but to no avail!
Anybody any ideas?
No problems for me, could just be a temporary problem with google servers maybe,
I've seen a few others reporting the same thing in other rom's threads.

This rom just gets better and better!
when you say kat boost included does that mean there is no need to install katapp ?
You still need KatApp for the moment.
KatBoost is the set of tweaks that are included into the KatKernel zip and that are not part of the kernel binary.

Thanks for all your hard work! I have one request if it's possible? When I plug in my Ethernet USB dongle it works, but it doesn't show up in the network settings so I can't set the ip! if you could find a way to get it to show up that would be nice!

Should be doable, but without having an Ethernet dongle myself it's a bit difficult to see what's going on unfortunately.
Maybe I can grab a cheapo one to test, what branch / model / version do you use ?

Hey guys,

I too am loving this ROM.

Once question though, I can't see a way to turnn the track pad in to a mouse pointer. It seems to be locked in "Gesture mode".

I know Team Eos had this under an option called "Device Settings" or something similar.

Has this option moved?

Hi Tim - firstly - THANK YOU! I'm on board with 216 - not much time to play, but flashed and saw it included KK 104 by default, so I skipped the kernel flash.

Any recommendations for settings from anyone - I installed the ad blocker and gps fix from kat app (Not sure gps is needed anymore, but couldn't hurt right :) ), and running Brazilian Wax with ROW with 1400 OC. Sticking with Nova Launcher as a launcher. :)

Many many thanks again (I've thanked all your posts in the OPs). :)

    KatKiss ROM - Asus TF101
    attachment.php

    JellyBean 4.2.2​




    This rom is based onto TeamEOS4 with my own additions on top.
    We shall see where it leads to in the future, but it will most likely stay close to EOS4 for the moment as we have reached a very good and stable status in the past months of work,
    so we can build on that until the next Android version. :)

    The main motto of the rom being Kiss. Even though the Meerkat could give you a kiss, it stands for Keeps it Sweet and Simple too
    Which means that just like the other K.A.T stuff, the rom's main goal will be efficiency, speed/responsiveness,
    while cutting out some of the bloat in the future too. :)


    DOWNLOADS:

    Please note that this version is for the TF101 model only.


    ChangeLog: The main changes are posted there and are also available in the Settings=>ControlCenter menu => ChangeLog

    Installation Notes:
    These builds are designed to be installed from your favorite recovery. MAKE SURE TO INSTALL THE LATEST COMPATIBLE ANDROID 4.2 RECOVERY!
    latest TWRP is recommended

    Going to KatKiss4.2.x from a different rom:
    • Backup everything !
    • Go to recovery
    • Make a full wipe / factory reset
    • Format /system
    • Flash the rom
    • Flash optional kernel
    • Flash gapps
    • Wipe cache/dalvik
    • Reboot

    Updating from KatKiss 4.2.x #XX to #YY:
    You can usually skip the full wipe step.
    If ever you encounter an issue make sure you make a full wipe first before reporting though.

    Use at your own risk, I won't be responsible for any damages caused to your Transformer or to yourself.
    In most cases if something breaks, flashing a rom on top should fix it.

    Additional info & links

    GPS:
    if it is taking a long time to get a lock or no lock, follow this:

    Install the latest K.A.T app

    Then follow precisely this procedure:


    1) Location Settings
    - Go to Settings => Location => turn OFF Access to my location
    - Turn Access to my location back ON
    - Make sure you agree to let google access the location.
    Now you should have :
    - GPS satellites: checked
    - Wifi & mobile networks location: checked

    2) Launch the new K.A.T app
    - make sure you grant it root access
    - make sure you have internet access
    - go to the install menu, Check the "Install GPS quicker fix + Assistance
    - Click the Install button
    - Make sure it says "Install Finished"

    3) Reboot
    4) Wait that it has finished booting and launching all the stuff you have starting at boot
    5) Start your GPS app outside with a clear sky line, to speed things up stay in range of the wifi / internet connection.

    Do not let the gps app loose focus when it is trying to get a fix.
    Do not let your tablet sleep / turn off the screen either.


    Doing that here, the first time and with a cold gps start, and even staying in my house,
    I get a 6 sat fix within 30 seconds and 11 sat fix in 1min 15seconds.

    From there subsequent fixes takes about 3 seconds to grab 7 sats and about 10 seconds to reach the 10-11 sat fix
    (you still want to let it sit outside for a bit after the 1st fix, so that the ephemeris data gets consolidated and updated to help faster fix later on)




    Google search:
    If the version you're using is crashing when you open Google Now,
    go to Settings => Language & Input => Voice Search
    then uncheck Hotword Detection.

    Hardware keyboard layouts
    More languages have been added in the default asusec keyboard
    Set the keyboard layout through Settings => Language & Input => asusec => setup keyboard layouts
    These also allow live switching without reboot with ctrl + space

    Glass effect:
    If you want glass to work with Trebuchet, you need to deactivate the quick wallpaper rendering in Trebuchet settings though.

    Storage (fstrim) and Database optimization:
    open a terminal and run:
    su
    /etc/kat/optimizedb
    /etc/kat/optimizestorage
    Be warned that the optimize storage can take from a few minutes to hours.
    But the speed / lag will be greatly improved afterward :)

    KatKernel is not yet included in that first version, so you still need to flash it after the rom.

    This version is an hybrid between EOS4 PreviewB202 / Nightly 120 and new stuff and shouldn't have the EOS4 #121 microsd bug. :)


    Test & Report to confirm that we're back on track and then we can build up on top of that version :)

    - Critical Security fix for Bug 8219321 (Android apk MasterKey exploit)
    - Browser: Reorg of the pie control + add Pie Feature to go to Bottom/Top of page
    - Include MediaScanner Filters by default (so you do not need to install them from the K.A.T app again after installing the rom)
    - Rom versions change
    - Deactivate GooManager versions to avoid notifications of flashing older EOS4 121
    - Default Kernel interactive threshold decrease for quicker speed boost/responsiveness.
