4.2, yes (glass), 4.3, no. You can use the XPosed framework and XBlast Tools to do this if you wish.




Transparent as in it will show the color of the wallpaper or other app that is behind it.

I tried XBlast but that didn't seem to work. I'm using a custom theme and tablet view as my settings. Hopefully transparency for navbar will be added soon. :fingers-crossed:

GPS Report

I just flashed this ROM and had to do the GPS fix. It worked perfectly with one glitch. The link on the post with the fix is for an old version of the toolbox which doesn't inculde the install tab. Just an FYI

Thanks for what you're doing!

Hearty thanks!

Timduru:

I flashed your 4.2.2 yesterday. I already clicked on the Thanks. But I just wanted to join the chorus of fans. I cannot believe how you've rejuvenated my old TF101!

I've got a couple nandroid backups and I'm contemplating moving on to 4.3.1 Multiwindow to see which I prefer. I've done several custom ROMS on my four Android devices, but your work is the best example of how Android's openness can rescue hardware from near death.

I was in that long, long thread complaining about ASUS's shoddy ICS update. Back then I never thought someone would be able to port a newer Android version to the TF101. But to improve the entire performance-- that's remarkable!

So long as you're backed up, stop contemplating and go for it. Katkiss 4.3.1 is rock solid and feels faster still.

Most of us dropped ASUS's shoddy buggy ROMs years back, Team EOS was the preferred ROM before KatKiss

The last working ROM ASUS released was Honeycomb, ICS was a joke from start to finish

trackpad scroll/sensitivity options?

Hey guys,
I scored a keyboard dock for my tf101. I was wondering if there is a way of adjusting the scroll options (it's backwards IMO) and the sensitivity. Love the rom... i can't even bring myself to upgrade to 4.3.

How do I take a screen shot

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
VOL DOWN and POWER at the same time for 3 seconds. Or the key above 6 on the dock. Or program a long press soft key action in the Control Center for screenshot.

I am pretty sure there is not a way to adjust this. The two ways (touchpad and gesture) both have the inverted scrolling.

I'am using this rom a few months without any problems.

Only the last few weeks a have a strange problem:
Sometimes when I switch my tablet on (from standby) wifi won't connect. In the statusbar the wifi symbol is empty. When I go to settings, I get an almost empty screen. Only the word "settings" and settings symbol and line is there.
If in the statusbar I click on wifi, nothing is happening. It won't turn off.
I can switch Blue tooth on and off.
When I reboot everything is working again.
At one or two occasions I saw the process wpa_supplicant consuming CPU. When I killed this process, settings was working again and I could switch off/on wifi again. It was working again without reboot.

Clear cache does not resolve this.

It is not always the case. A few times in a week the problem occurs. Before I never rebooted the system. I was always working.
I don't prefer to upgrade to 4.3. This version was working fine (until a few weeks ago).

What can be the cause of this ?

Anybody know how to get this tablet back to stock and remove root? I am using the trade in program through amazon. They are going to give me $100.00 for my 16gb TF101. I figured I should sell it before it loses more value. Plus I have been using my Nexus 7 99% of the time.

Timduru, thanks for the time you have spent on the TF101. You make this tablet a very good one once again.

Basically, flash stock ROM from Asus in TWRP.

    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
    Source: https://github.com/timduru (branch katkiss)

    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.

    Disclaimer: The usual ;)
    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.

    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.
