I flashed katkiss per your recommendation, and here I am, typing this from a PC, since the KB disappears on TF101 (crash?) after few letters and then reappears again. And yes, sound is still weak, and kat audio does not help at all either.

All I need is fully functional browser, wifi, video and audio - I have yet to find a custom rom that offers all this. Revolution HD as it, but due to crappy tegra 2 and lack of OC, there is no 720p video playback.

I don't think that I have faulty TF101, since stock and HD roms work just fine.

This is a known issue with the GAPPS version that you flashed... keyboard crashes (disappears) due to use of NEON instructions in the Google keyboard which the Tegra 2 lacks. Read a couple posts back for the quote.

How doe kat audio "not help at all"? It provides a slider to increase the volume level above normal.

I was under impression that this ROM was made for tf101 - is there a tf101 with neon? I don't think so. If it's common for custom ROMs to fail on such basics, than I guess I am at the wrong place.

Kat audio was "working" for me on cm10 so I know that it needs to pop up something. It does not do anything here. Even on cm10, it was hit and miss. I was spending vast amount of time clicking on DSP init and trying to control slider popup to get descent sound out.

If you fail flashing the correct recommended gapps the keyboard will crash.
How is that the rom's fault ?

You just need to set the slider manually in the K.A.T app to the desired level
or r just let it do it for you by cascading the volumes and just keep pushing the volume keys when you reach max.
How can it be a hit and miss..
As for reinitialising the dsp if you use the KatKernel which is included into KatKiss by default you don't need to.

The ROM was made for TF101. The GApps are made by Google and are not part of the ROM. It's Google's decision whether to support non-NEON devices or not in their apps, hence why you need to select the right version. Don't blame the ROM for a issue that only occurs if you flash the wrong gapps.

I really don't get this. Follow the instructions, flash the right GAPPS, you won't have a keyboard issue. Flash a reasonably (within the last eon) modern Kat Kernal, you won't have to reinit DSP.

If EOS4 wasn't robust, have a working KB, acceptable sound, play back video just fine, and have decent wifi, I guarantee you that I and 90% of the people posting in this thread wouldn't have been running it as daily drivers for half a year or more. I have a phone still running GB because the ICS and JB ROMS are sketchy/not fully baked, definitely NOT the case here though.

I even installed a 2-3 month old version of the EOS4 ROM/KK/KAT APP on my folks TF when we were on a mutual vacation and they say it works better than stock and is more robust. I would never have done that if I thought it would make the tablet less usable for them, because I sure as hell wouldn't want to have to talk them through the process of reverting to stock over the phone.

Zdravke I'm sorry to say you have a very bad attitude! if so many people are very happy with the performance of the rom then maybe you should draw the conclusion that something is wrong at your end! Tim works very hard to bring us the very best rom for the tf101. If you are not satisfied with it there are other roms to try! The beauty of the katkiss rom apart from the great work Tim does is the fact that there are a lot of people willing to help you for good or bad! you should really appreciate this! I for one love this rom and the forum. I have paranoid on my galaxy s3 which thank God works well cause if it didn't getting help from there devs is nigh on impossible! Tim not only works hard to make the rom he also gives support to all that ask!

Go back to CM10 or stock. Better yet, buy an iPad.

I think he was asking if there is a way to wake up from the keyboard...
There is a key to lock the tablet, but this one can't unlock...

Try "Screen Control" to wake tablet without "power button"

Possibly not related to this ROM but is there any way to wake the tablet when its docked with the keyboard?

I have used "Screen Control" by myDigita which uses the accelerometer to detect motion or vibration to wake up the screen. I've got it set to a be very sensitive to vibration (default is 9, I'm using 2). Tapping on the top of the case (while docked) will typically wake the tablet in a second or two.

Personally I just close and reopen the lid to wake it up. There used to be a way to wake from the touchpad when docked, but that was with the Asus ROM. And I think most of the methods to wake with gesture/sensor use more battery to constantly poll the sensors, or am I wrong?

I've been without a functional power button for a month now, so I'd love to know other ways to wake it...

Theres a good video on youtube in tearing these down..I did it last in about 30mins..

Just need the right bits for the screws.
But if you are out of warranty. You should be able to get your on off button functionality back by stripping off the front cover and checking out what has come loose or by adding a little double sided tape/tab to that area.

I like this rom. I manage to overclocked it to 1.4 Ghz using the katkernel with adhoc support and I had no issue at all. Is there a way to remove the "select keyboard" notification when you dock the tablet to the dock keyboard?

I know there was/is a small app or widget I used back when I first got my Transformer which was Thanksgiving a year and a half ago. Perhaps it would work on 4.2.2 although it was made for the stock 4.0.3 ROM. If I could remember the name I'd offer it but I can't. I don't even remember if it was app or widget. Hopefully someone else can chime in with the name or link. I do know I got it from a thread here but I don't even remember if it was a local or linked file.

I tried flashing this and it stays stuck at the EEe Pad screen after the reboot. I'm using Teamwin 2.3.2.3 and flashed EOS-tf101-20130704-121.zip

I followed the instructions:

Backup everything ! - CHECK
Go to recovery - CHECK
Make a full wipe / factory reset - CHECK

If you go back a few pages you will run into a lot of this. 121 causing issues. Might want to use an earlier version 120 or preview 202. Or move on to Kat Kiss, which is still supported.

For the last time, do NOT install 121 unless you like soft bricking your tablet. Why Team EOS put this out after proclaiming EOS being dead nobody knows. All that is known is that it doesn't work, and what is left of Team EOS won't respond or remove it from the server. Either stick with an earlier version of EOS, or move on to timduru's KatKiss ROM.

I really don't understand

why do people flash roms without reading the forum!
If you just took the time to read you would realize that EOS rom has run it's course! There is no support any more from EOS!!

Do yourselves a favour and install KatKiss which is based on EOS and has full support from it's creator!!

    Asus Transformer TF101 Nightlies​
    JellyBean 4.2.2​

    Continuing on from the success of the EOS ICS&JB roms, we present to you EOS4, based on the latest JELLYBEAN version!
    It is the goal of Team EOS to develop and maintain the highest performing and most stable AOSP based rom for an array of platforms.

    EOS 4 is an AOSP based rom. It is developed and maintained by Team EOS and is the culmination of our own in house development efforts.

    For the latest news on Team EOS Asus Transformer releases make sure you follow @teameos on twitter and on IRC on Freenode in #xoom or #teameos.

    bigrushdog said:
    Ok guys, final post. But the adventure continues!

    The last solid Eos 4 build is #120

    http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/nightlies/tf101/EOS-tf101-20130617-120.zip

    Timduru continues working from the Eos 4 base with his KatKiss project here...

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362764


    The CodeFireX project is still in general for now

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2375257


    We're (bigrushdog and CodeFireX guys) going balls to the wall getting 4.3 running. So likely next build will be 4.3. So it may be a bit of time still. Watch the general thread for updates and info.

    Eos lives on in KatKiss and CodeFireX!


    brd



    DOWNLOADS:
    • ROM: Team EOS Transformer Nightly builds on goo.im
    • Latest Gapps Package: 4.2.2 Gapps for TF101
    • Older 4.2.1 Eos Gapps for TF101
      If you prefer to have the Swipe feature in the default Keyboard you can use this version, but the Keyboard will crash on auto-correction
      If you use this version, make sure you go the keyboard settings and change these settings:
      + Auto-correction off
      + Show correction suggestions:always hide


      Because this is an AOSP based rom Google Apps are not included in the base rom. To install Google Apps you'll need to flash one of these package after installing the base rom.



    Features & ChangeLogs:
    Because these are nightly builds the included features are constantly evolving.
    The main changes are posted in the wiki: http://code.google.com/p/teameos/wiki/ChangeLog, and are also available from the EOSControlCenter menu => ChangeLog.
    For a comprehensive listing of the changes please visit http://review.teameos.org

    Please not that this version is for the TF101 model only.
    It should work on the TF101G version too but you won't get native 3G support (you can however use PPP Widget to connect to 3G)

    --
    Main Eos Features:
    Eos Control Center, one easy location to control all the customizations.
    Performance Settings & Overclockable kernel
    Battery Indicator Mods & Dock Battery support
    Full Dock keyboard Support with special keys
    Wifi with AD-HOC network connection & creation support
    Advanced power menu with reboot options.
    NX Gesture Navigation Bar
    Custom Quick Toggles Tiles with Brightness & Volume Seekbars
    Softkeys Long-Press Actions
    Custom Navigation Bar Ring Quick Launch Targets
    Status Bar Toggles
    Separate or combined EOS Status Bar & Navigation bar hiding for full screen.
    Status Bar & Navigation Bar Color w/ Project Glass (Auto-Transparency, not the Google Project Glass :p)
    Clock Mods
    T-Mobile Theme Engine
    Volume keys switch depending on rotation. So the volume up key is always either on the top or to the right of volume down. (Toggle-able)
    Default Volume Control Stream (Ring or Media)
    And more...



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

    Going to EOS4.2.x from a rom < 4.2.x:
    • 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 EOS 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.


    Bug reports & Contribution:
    If you find strange or otherwise unexplained errors please report them here: https://bugs.teameos.org/
    Please include logcats and as thorough a description of the issue and what lead up to the issue as possible. See post #2 for a detailled how-to report.
    Without this we will be unable to track down these errors.

    Want to contribute to the Eos rom? Well you can!
    Just follow http://teameos.org/?page_id=6 to checkout our source code, and information on how to submit changes for review.


    A quick note on Nightlies: NIGHTLIES ARE DEVELOPMENT BUILDS. They are automatically generated every now and then, and represent the compilation of the latest commits to the code repository. While every effort is made ensure that the commits that are accepted are stable and do not have a negative impact to the overall performance and function of the builds it is not possible to test every aspect of a commits impact to the overall repo prior to it’s inclusion in a given build. As a result it is entirely possible that instabilities may be introduced as a result of a given days commits. That is the nature of the nightly system, and the risk that is taken using the latest code changes to the project.

    Well I'm just on vacation guys... ;)
    I will still be around, no worries, I'm still my user #1, I like to have my TF101 working well ;)
    I now have less than a couple of weeks of vacation left,
    then I'll need to get my DSL back working at home, then I'll see what I do ;)
    So a bit of patience.

    I just still don't understand very well the switch to CodeFire, I didn't really get any convincing explanation.
    Sure it's BigRushDog & RaymanFX's choice to decide which team they want to break or join,
    but I don't really see that move beneficial to the TF101, maybe it can help the phone based devices, I don't know.
    CodeFire rom seems to be mostly for phones.
    But what is of interest here is our device the TF101
    I for one would also have waited that the new rom is fully functionnal before doing the switch so that we could at least try it.
    For the moment it's more destructive and demotivating than anything of benefits.

    I think one important thing has been forgotten in the EOS breaking process: you, the users.
    I for one always try to think about that as my #1 priority.



    As for the close future, as I said before it just seems a waste of time to me at this point to switch while we have a mostly stable EOS4 rom for the TF101.
    I'm not even sure what there is to gain in that rom at all, I for one would like a detailled description of the pro and cons
    and what we have to gain.


    Until then the wisest for me for the moment seems to keep building on TeamEOS 4 imho.
    I will most likely just do like good old time with the previews, and improve from there and publish my own versions.
    Just that it wouldn't be previews of what is coming next this time since EOS is dead. ;)
    I might also revert most of the latest modifications and reboot from Preview 202 with a few added things most likely.
    As noted here by a few others, things seems a bit unstable in the latest nightlies and I prefer to stay as stable as possible, even more when I'm on vacation with the TF101 being my only device ;)


    Not having to work with TeamEOS and having to take in consideration other devices might actually be beneficial for the TF101 actually.
    Whereas TeamEOS4 needs to maintain compatibility for other devices, and as we've seen in the past break things for the TF101 while adding stuff for other devices too, generating delays, or sometime making compromises that are not optimal for the TF101.

    With only the TF101 as a target I can focus on making it better, faster, and with a much lesser painful process than with EOS.

    I can also make things work tighter and more tailored for the TF101 in the rom, integrate more things from K.A.T for example
    like the GPS , finer volume control and so on.
    Things like that that really matter for our device and not bloating the rom with less important things and making it less efficient for our old device.
    There are not really much missing though, for the moment I'm quite happy with the latest EOS4 preview myself

    It just works well and does what I want. :)


    So yeah, no worries it's not the end, we'll still have roms for the TF101. :)
    There are currently more roms than we ever had before, so it might be even time to try them and/or contribute to them.
    I kinda like the way PA is doing things myself, as I've said early in the EOS development and the PhabletUI lag issues, the window manager is really sh*t, and I kinda like that PA has rewritten part of it. I might havve a look at integrating part of that work, as it might be of benefits for the TF101.
    I'm unsure yet which strategy could be the most efficient and best for the device.
    It might also depends how quickly Android 5.0 comes out.
    4.3 seems to be mostly very minor changes..
    So we won't really need to bother with that imho.

    New preview version B145

    Rom Download: EOS4.2.1-tf101-20130126_previewB145.zip
    DockBattery update: B145_DockBatteryV3.zip
    (flash after the B145 rom)

    Most had been merged into #93 before,
    so that version should be up to version #93 (see ChangeLog link in my Sig for details of the latests changes)
    And in addition you get:
    - Fix boot issue with stock kernel
    - Dock battery icon/text in statusbar
    - the usual Linaro compilation.
    http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/nightlies/tf101

    Note also that the stock kernel was making the ntfs ro mounting mask differently than with KatKernel,
    so I've also updated the K.A.T app to 1.2.4 to address that.


    Glad to the bluetooth hid problem is line to be fixed now. My log is attached. Happens when I try to sixaxis controller. Used to be working in the cm10 rom i was running.
    Keeps saying it could not set hci raw mode.
    Thanks for the logs. :)

    Actually do you think you could generate logs on CM10 when it is working ?
    As I never had a working BT pad, that'd help to see what might be different and making sure I'm not doing something wrong when trying to make it work here. ;)

    Basically the best way for me to spot what is going on is you to do that on a rom where your device is working:
    - disable bluetooth
    - reboot

    grab a logcat + kmsg (see link in my sig for exact procedure)

    - turn on bluetooth
    - connect your device

    grab another logcat + kmsg (see link in my sig for exact procedure)

    Redo the exact same thing on EOS4.


    i don't know why but when i flash b14* the tablet reeboots and it stops on starting apps window!!!
    damn....i'm on 136 and no issues...but i like follow your job tim!!!
    Try B145, it should be fixed.


    Running 143b and katkernel 80b and just discovered an issue with usb on my tf.
    When I connect my Sony Nex camera to the dock usb port, I can browse pics in ES explorer under storage/usbdisk0/etc..
    But if the tf goes to sleep or if I turn camera off and then on the tf doesnt see the camera any more.
    If I reboot the tf I can connect to the camera again.

    Turning camera on and off doesnt help.

    seems as if something regardin USB fails to resume connection after sleep.

    Sorry, Im not familiar with attaching logs.

    It's the way it works with KatKernel.
    It's normally helping Random Reboots.
    I might have a look again at that later on, but for the moment I prefer to leave it as that as it helps stability.
    So basically if you want your drive back after it goes to sleep,
    - umount it
    - remount it
    Ideally you should unmount then disconnect it before you put the tablet to sleep.

    If you prefer it to remount automatically and that it's a critical feature for you,
    then you are better to stay on the stock kernel I think last time I checked it was ok with it.


    Just a quick shout-out to you tinduru as I notice some of your posts show a bit of frustration from people not reading previous posts and not supplying logcats etc. Those of us sitting pretty with a perfectly running tablet with no issues at all tend to be pretty quiet. The official rom at version 92 shows over 3600 downloads (and I'm sure 93 will break that record pretty quickly) and that doesn't include us preview users which I'm sure is close to a comparable number.
    Can you imagine if over 4000 people had issues with your rom and posted in thread? Right now it appears there's less than a dozen or so people (and I have read every post in this thread too) that either have very specific needs, busted hardware, constantly re-post their grievance, or flat out don't read well.

    The rest of us might chime in once in a while when something major pops up, but please take our general silence as a nod to a job well done. I'm sure many will agree that when it comes to our tablets, you're a frickin' rockstar.

    Thanks :)
    Yeah I hope to think that the majority likes it.
    I know how it works and that there's always a majority of users with issues that are posting in the thread.
    It's normal.
    But yeah it can get frustrating sometime ;)

    So don't hesitate to hit the thanks button either on posts that you find useful
    or at least on the messages where I post a new version like this one.
    That way I know if it's heading in the right direction based on the number of thanks / preview ;)

    The number of downloads is actually quite interesting too. I had not looked there yet, but yeah.
    Especially when compared to EOS3 downloads: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/nightlies/tf101
    That should definitely mean EOS4 is on the right way :)

    New version KatKiss #215

    Uploaded a new "preview" version #215 :)
    Well technically it's not a preview of anything anymore, hence the new name, and I shall create a new thread at some point too I guess ;)

    Download: KatKiss-4.2.2_215.zip
    md5sum: 477782483338f948a2d22ca6d4c09e91

    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 / 120 and new stuff and shouldn't have the EOS4 #121 microsd bug. :)
    We shall see where it leads to in the future, but most likely will stay close to EOS4 as it's mostly good and stable,
    so we can build on that until the next major Android 5 version. :)

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


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