KatKiss ROM

Nougat 7.1 Release
Asus TF700T - TF201

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 the rom's main goal is efficiency, speed/responsiveness,
while not adding bloated features that will slow things down

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)

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 audio devices
For bluetooth audio devices that have "phone audio" capability you need to uncheck the box in the device's bluetooth settings.

System UI Tuner
A few things including the navbar buttons can be tweaked in Settings => System UI Tuner

Hardware keyboard layouts
More languages have been added in the default asusec keyboard
Set the keyboard layout through Settings => Language & Input => Physical Keyboard (asusdec)
(to use multiple layouts , you first need to add another Language in Settings => Language & input)
You can switch between layouts using the keyboard icon that appears in the navbar.

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 Encryption
Encryption is not supported on our devices

Camera
Video recording is limited to 720p max

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

First Beta Release #007

New rom version available:

TF700T : KatKiss-7.0_TF700T_007.zip
TF201 : KatKiss-7.0_TF201_007.zip

As usual with a major upgrade: FORMAT /data first
(it'll change it to ext4, then you simply need to change it back to f2fs)

Unless you need one of the missing /not working feature it should be stable enough for daily use already

At this point in the rom I mostly need:
- Confirmation that it boots/works
- bugs and things missing / crashing that are NOT already listed in the 1st/2nd post

also no need to post multiple times, or ask for ETA,
that will save me time if you do that,
thanks

TF201 boots fine!

Thanks!

Just amazing so I must support your work, 5AJ44378H5958244A.

Have some issues (not really a bug, but) on TF201

1. Couple of times reseved MTP Host keeps stoping (for example when I mounted microSD and tried to open it) - it didn't affect to enything at first look
2. Very large icons in battery stats (they don't depend on UI size)
3. Seems that in resent apps every working app is in a frame, which cuts some space from a preview

On TF201 - Adaway v3.1.2

Copy failed
Copying of hosts file failed!

edit - mic isn't working as well.

mqmeszi · Sep 10, 2016

My Tf700 is working well. No issues for now. Thank you!

laurelindorien · Sep 10, 2016

TF700T here. Everything core works.
Two things:
Bluetooth needs to be enabled a couple times.
Adaway - Copying of hosts file failed.

Keron23 · Sep 10, 2016

Right Mousepad button does not work in Remote Apps. Please implement that Function again.

jeffjawa · Sep 10, 2016

On the TF201 build 7: There appears to be video playback issues across various applications. Kodi 17 will not play videos. Facebook videos also don't play. I also observed issues with gif files playing in two separate reddit clients (Relay and BaconReader). Other than that, this ROM is amazing! Thank you for all of your hard work and for all of your contributions!

gllark · Sep 10, 2016

Dirty flashed build 7 over katkiss-MM-v28, everything works fine without the known video issues. The only thing is my tf700t is now getting much wormer than with MM. But it's already very impressive at this stage. @timduru, you are a giant among dev's. Thank you very much for bringing this to us.

can i do a full wipe coming from Katshmallow 29 and flash Nougatella without any problems?

Sent from my TF700T using XDA-Developers mobile app

Clamor · Sep 12, 2016

I have found a bug. When I tried to re-map search key to resents it remaps to show_powermenu. It seems that all elements below recents shifted up by one point.

Update after few day's use

Battery life really bad. Previously running ZombiPop 5.1 battery would last ~ 5 hours easily on video playback. Now barely 3 hours and the device is noticeably warmer.
Occasionally 'Bluetooth share has stopped working' and bluetooth cuts out. Reconnect from the tile gets everything back.
Performance is really great, though. Reboot, unlock, app launching, working with apps while download/install going on are all great. With ZombiPOP I would occasionally have bluetooth audio start clipping. Hasn't happened with this ROM. Also at least once a week would have to disable and re-enable wifi to get good speeds. No problem with this ROM.
Thanks for keeping our devices alive!
