Loads of good info in this thread. Although I had to figure a couple of things out for myself. For me the goal is smooth Youtube playback at 720p. For this I needed:
- Install NewPipe apk from NewPipe website newpipe.net
- NewPipe settings are 720p default (not 60 fps) and Use external player for video and audio (defaults to Gallery)
- Android settings > System > Performance - Min and Max frequency of 1400. Confirmed stable then set on boot.

I also installed the Netflix apk from Netflix's website. It doesn't look 720p but is still a good experience - UI is responsive etc.

Long live the Transformer.

i looked through newPipe website and apparently their android requirement is 4.4 and and 4.1.
personaly when i installed Katkiss marshmellow i couldn't launch apps with higher requirement than 4.0.3 to work on it. i mean they can be installed but crash on launch. am i missing something here or its something similar to sometime it work sometime it doesn't...

Trying it Marshmellow #034 on 2023, by the last minute I set the built-in overclock parameters at min/max: 1400 MHz but I get the same result: most of the apps crashes on start, no matter the version or the overclock parameter (even the default one). Same results with Lollipop #030

Thanks for remembering the tf101!

Are you using a rom with gapps or without?

I just flashed with 6.0.1 but can't get microg to to work and spoof signature.

I'm really just trying to see if I can still watch movies on websites and (What seems most likely) is just get a either google photos or something similar so I can make it a digital photo frame.

any insights/help appreciated. thanks

I already got rid of the tablet and now it is useful for someone else to watch television on YouTube.

I only made it work with apps compatible with Android 4.1, its original version (except for Newpipe which runs as far as the tablet can run), any other version crashes when opening or freezes the tablet, the performance is more than enough to open those basic apps, so it can't be a stability problem but an API/kernel error.

As I wrote above, I only got those app versions working, but I recommend moving the Chrome APK to the sdcard and running it directly from the file manager, or a basic F-Droid file manager.

I am using latest 6.0.34 without gapps. It is mostly good, but there is prolem with reboot after using no-neon Chrome (v70, v96). I can use it for quite long time, but if I try to minimize it or switch to another app, tablet hangs and reboots. Anybody figured how to avoid this or maybe you have a more or less recent Chrome that does not cause reboots?

How in earth could you run Chrome 70 in that buggy ROM?

    MarshMallow 6.0.1 Release​
    Asus TF101​

    Please note that this version is made for and tested on the TF101 model.



    This rom is an aosp based rom with my own additions on top of it.

    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 is efficiency, speed/res ponsiveness,
    while not adding bloated features that will slow things down :)



    DOWNLOADS:

    Install Instructions:
    These builds are designed to be installed with a recent recovery.
    TWRP 2.8.1 is recommended: available here
    Older versions of TWRP like 2.3.x won't work.

    • Backup everything !
    • Go to recovery

      [*]The first time you install: Format /data (full wipe doesn't format)
      (you can skip this step if you're already on the same main version of KatKiss, if ever you encounter a problem redo a full clean install and format /data and try again before reporting )

      Then *EVERYTIME* flash (all together):
    • rom zip
    • SuperSU zip
      [*]gapps zip

    • Wipe cache/dalvik
    • Reboot



    Rom Main Features:
    MultiWindow Support with 2, 3 or 4 panes setup
    High speed and responsive oriented
    High performance and overclocked KatKernel included
    Dock keyboard Support with full special/function keys support
    Global Keyboard Shortcuts / KeyOverride Macro association (See post #2 for more info)
    HDMI Support
    Battery Level Indicator & Dock Battery support + Mods (icon/Text/%)
    CIFS, ext4, NTFS, ExFat support
    RRO Theme Engine - Themes & more info
    Native Android FSTRIM + Manual scripts for Database optimization and fstrim (see post #2)
    Media Scanner Filters
    Navbar with left, balanced (PixelC like) or middle aligned buttons.
    All Wifi channels support
    Integrated cpu & io performance settings panel
    Custom Navbars buttons long press actions
    Advanced power menu with reboot options.
    User Immersive mode and actions with automode when docked setting
    Advanced per application permission management (AppOps)
    Ethernet-auto support
    Misc utils Busybox, rsync...
    Custom Quick Settings tiles

    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.

    Tips

    First Install
    Make sure you do a format /data the first time you install the rom
    (backup your internal storage first if you want to keep something)

    The first boot after a rom flash can take a few minutes as ART is slower than dalvik to optimize the applications, but is faster after the 1st time.
    (First boot takes ~4-5 minutes without gapps and 10+ minutes with gapps)
    Also keep in mind that after a fresh install, it might take a bit of time to get up to full speed as media scanner & google are checking/scanning and restoring stuff.


    Bluetooth
    Bluetooth might require to be turned on twice before it scans and displays the available devices.

    Wallpaper Modes
    Different Wallpaper modes have been added in Settings => Display
    ** Normal (regular android mode)
    ** Disable System Wallpaper rendering (set as default)
    ** Disable Wallpaper service

    2nd setting will prevent the wallpaper being rendered by the system making things faster and also freeing resources
    That's the recommended setting you want to use if you are using a launcher that has internal wallpaper rendering
    The Default included Launcher3 has internal rendering
    For Nova: Go to its Settings => Desktop => Wallpaper Scrolling => Force, then set a wallpaper.
    (You will see a black wallpaper if you're not using a launcher that can do internal rendering, If wallpaper is important and that you want to keep your current launcher, then switch back to the 1st setting)

    Youtube
    Depending on your network and tablet load, 720p videos might not play or take longer to buffer.
    Switch to 480p in that case.
    Some videos are also 720p60fps so you might need to switch back to 480p for these too.
    You can also try an older youtube version and disable auto updates: youtube-v5.0.21

    Google Play Movies
    Our current Widevine DRM libs are not compatible in MM.
    So you can't play a movie on the tablet with Google Play Movies as it requires that.
    Starting a movie to play on chromecast should be fine as the drm will be the chromecast one in that case.

    Now On Tap
    Now On Tap requires the nano opengapps version, however our default /system partition is too small to accommodate them.
    So if you want to install the nano or bigger opengapps version, you'll need to repartition the storage space first using Bigwheelie for extended partitions
    Then activate Now on Tap from google now settings

    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

    Global Key Override/Shorcut Mecanism
    Available in Settings => Dock => Add Key Override Actions

    This will allow you not only to redefine function keys assignment, and other special keys actions,
    but you'll also be able to assign global macro actions / app launch to any key + Meta key combination (shift Left or Right , ctrl..)

    You can also add multiple actions to one key combination, simply click again on the "+" button for the same key combination.
    For example if you want to assign to one key combination a list of action to run before going to bed for example, like: turn wifi off, Bluetooth off, mute sound, and turn screen off, you can do that :)
    Note that starting multiple applications with one key is kinda a miss and hit for the moment due to some mecanism in android that seems to prevent applications to start too close to each others.


    Storage (fstrim) and Database optimization:
    Fstrim is native since 4.3 and will happen in the background if your tablet is idle / sleeping and that your battery is > 70%
    There is also a script to run it manually in the rom: /etc/kat/optimizestorage

    To optimize the Database: /etc/kat/optimizedb

    To run both, open a terminal and run:
    su
    /etc/kat/optimize

    MultiWindow

    Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2, 3 or 4 panes
    you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running



    attachment.php


    NavBar:
    - To switch between full screen and split View you can use the
    attachment.php
    NavBar Buttons
    The app that currently has the focus (or the latest used app if you're on the Desktop) will be used for the main pane (left and/or top depending on the mode and rotation)
    And it will lay the remaining most recently used apps in the rest of the available 1-2-3 panes depending on the icon you click

    - If you press a multiwindow icon again when in splitview mode, it'll bring the focused app back to fullscreen mode.

    - To swap the 2 latest focused apps location / pane , long press on the
    attachment.php
    NavBar Button

    - To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the
    attachment.php
    NavBar Button
    That button can also be used in non multiwindow mode to switch quickly between the 2 most recent apps.


    Global Actions:
    Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview 2-3-4 panes, swap, or switch between the 2 most recent apps have been added
    so you can bind them to a key / key combination with the Global KeyOverride or long press on navbar button too.

    Note: Most apps works ok in splitview mode, but some of them might crash or not refresh correctly sometime.


    To manually position an app in one of the pane:
    For the moment either reorder your apps before clicking on an auto mode icon,
    or you can also activate the default Marshmallow Multiwindow mode to get extra icons to positions an app in a specific pane (activate it in developer options )
    Then position the apps with the icons from the Recents screen. (default MM recents icons are for 2 or 4 panes)
