[ROM][MM 6.0.1] [ KatKiss - KatshMallow #033 ] [MultiWindow]

[berndblb]

I installed the micro gapps instead of the pico, but that should be ok I guess?

So you installed a different gapps version than the one recommended by the dev and you have problems with a Google app.
Jeez - I wonder what could be the problem here! :cyclops::angel:

Since the micro version only contain some extra apps I thought this should not be a problem, but if you can tell me why this shouldn't work, please explain?

What is full speed? More as 15Mbps?

Yes, about 50Mbps,the maximum of my WLAN power [emoji12] [emoji12]

Now, I delete all data from system apps and user interface and WLAN hi-speed works

 

[Colchiro]

Anyone else have less than optimal wi-fi speeds? On 5mHz, using Ookla Speedtest app, I max at 46Mbps, yet my Nexus 6P (running 7.1.1) scores 76Mbps. Both devices 8 feet from the router and running Katkiss #32.

On 2.4mHz my speed drops to 42Mbps (big appt building), yet my 6P still get 67Mbps.

Yes, about 50Mbps,the maximum of my WLAN power [emoji12] [emoji12]

Retest today....

76Mbps at 5Ghz and 59Mbps at 2.4Ghz on my Pixel XL.

56Mbps at 5Ghz and 38Mbps at 2.4Ghz on #33.

My laptop also gets 76Mbps on speedtest.net

I can confirm I also have less than optimal wi-fi speeds on this tab (although, it's never been "great"...) But still, with Marshmallow it's slower.

I just tested my 5Ghz connection using my TF701, and my LG G4 phone.

TF701: 24.59Mbps Down / 12.52 Up

LG G4: 102.45 Mbps Down (not a typo) / 12.52 Up

Big difference!

The difference is a good 80 MiB, considering that the Pico is 112 MiB total, that is a substantial size different and obviously too much for the system partition....

I get similar differences:
54 mbps down, 6 mbps up on Nexus 5x
27 down, 5 up on TF701

The system partition is more than big enough for this. The problem was that one of the partitions was formatted in EXT3 instead of EXT4.

This screen overlay issue I'm having per my earlier message is making an otherwise great ROM almost unuseable. Does anyone have a fix for this?

 

[yoalucino]

Just installed this ROM, works flawlessly (it's much more reactive than CM12.1, in my opinion).
During installation, had to replace CWM recovery for TWMP (in CWM I got error Status 7, which I couldn't fix despite of several forum entries).
Thank you, timduru

 

[Sleeepy2]

Has anyone found a fix for the slow WiFi speed?
I only have 51 Mbps on my 5 GHZ connection and can't stream anything.
Netflix, Google Play movies or Plex

When it connects I have something like 150 Mbps connection but as soon as anything starts downloading or connecting it instantly drops to 51 Mbps.
I thought that I would wipe everything and start over but...
I used TWRP to factory reset and then format data, I did get some mounting errors or something but I wasn't really paying attention
I flashed everything again but when it rebooted everything was still there... So obviously it didn't wipe for some reason but I still have WiFi issues.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh and thanks for making this ROM and keeping this tablet updated. Very much appreciate it.

Edit:
Well I just tried to wipe again to see what it says. Unable to mount cache or system. So that's why it didn't actually wipe. Now to figure out how to fix that

Another update for those following along (Which I assume is no one )
I checked the TWRP thread and the fix was to mount and then un mount system etc. so I was able to completely wipe everything and I have a fresh install going.
But this didn't change anything for WiFi
Tablet is showing Link speed 81 Mbps while phone connected to the same WiFi is showing 866 Mbps. Just a little bit different :/

Any suggestions?

 

[Sleeepy2]

And for those playing along at home ?
I re-installed CM 5.1.1 and wifi is back to 150Mbps.

@timduru
What a surprise to find this topic with a Katkiss ROM for the TF701!
I used to have a TF101 and used it ever since with Katkiss ROM 4.4 After years of service I sold it and bought another 2nd hand TF701T. For just a 75 Euro swap I had an enormous improvement in speed. But... no Katkiss ROM, but a 'not much maintained' CM12 ROM.
Just out of boredom I scrolled some weeks ago through the development section of this tablet and when I saw the Katkiss topic, I first thought to be in the wrong section

After some scary moments with the buggy TWRP recovery, I am now a happy TF701 user again. I also decided that it definitely was time to make a donation after all those years of usage.

Tim: have a beer from me and keep the TF701 alive for a while! 99M340***H216302G

Try to flash that and test again: Tim_KatKernel_005-t1_TF701_MM6.0.1.zip

I only get 40/8 on 5 ghz and 31/8 on 2.4
76/8 on my 5 ghz laptop.

Prior to the patch I had 56 on 5 ghz and 38 on 2.4.

Sorry, no improvement on either band.

How and what do you test exactly ?
I have 5GHz - 150 Mbs steady here (wifi settings link) , playing youtube, netflix & the like.
Sleeepy2 above was talking about that dropping.
And did you try to generate traffic, the wifi link is adaptive depending on the traffic / signal quality.

Try to check on wifi analyzer if you don't have other networks interfering on the same freqs or close too.

 

[Sleeepy2]

Well first my stupidity.
This wasn't working so I thought I would go back to CM while I waited for an update or suggestion. So I do a backup, format system and install CM. Not yet realizing I am dumb.
Ohh update, nice. Backup my CM, format system and go to restore. Ugh light bulb.
Oh well, the update doesn't look like a full ROM so I installed version 33 first. It is now restoring everything with a link speed of 150 Mbps...
So I am not sure if there was an issue with the ROM at all. I will install the update once this is done.

I did make a change to my router but I am not sure if that made a difference or not. My router has two 5ghz channels, previously both had the same SSID. Default firmware recommends this. But now I am running Tomato and not sure if it handles this correctly. Now both have different names.
Not sure if this is what made the difference or not.

Either way, thank you for your hard work.

Improved!

Thanks Tim! I can report a definite improvement. My previous speedtest.net tests were around 25Mbps, now after flashing this kernel, I am getting 50Mbps consistently

I may fiddle with my DD-wrt settings a bit to see if I can squeeze a little more out, but this is great :good:

Is the new Kernel only improving the network speed or are there other new specifications like new schedulers or Governors?

Racer, it looks like Tim added the Zen scheduler as well.
