[ROM][MM 6.0.1] [ KatKiss - KatshMallow #034 ] [MultiWindow]
- Thread starter timduru
- Start date
Hi everyone, it's great that timduru allowed our tf101s to extend their lifetime this much.
Lately I've been tinkering with mine after a couple years of leaving it in a drawer. Specifically, I've pondered the idea of donating it to an elementary school in my area that has asked for help in gathering devices for students without expendable income so that they may be able to attend their virtual classes.
However, I've been having problems after installing Zoom on it. The app works, it can join meetings, and send/receive video. But selecting "join audio" (in order to hear the other participants) causes the device to immediately leave the current meeting and go back to the app's main menu.
The device can play music just fine, but the issue might be audio related somehow...?
Does anyone have any advice for this odd issue? Without a solution, my device is not suitable to donate, despite being working fine apart from that.
Thanks in advance for the help, and for all the useful tips and tips across this whole comment thread.

Hello,
I want to share my experience with my TF101 tablet.
Here is what I have installed and which suits me very well
At first, I only installed the KatKiss-6.0_034 and SuperSU BETA 2.52 Rom.
After booting using the basic browser, I installed FileManager HD to allow me to easily access the contents of my SD card.
Then I installed the following apps directly from my SD card (functional version)
VLC version 3.0.13
Firefox 50.0
Newpipe 0.21.2 (Youtube clone)
pdf reader-viewer 2019-9-16-1391.
And to replace the Google market, I opted for the Huawei.appmarket.2104090922 APP.
It remains to test other applications according to your needs.
IMPORTANT
Do not accept any update or other from google play because this will start your tablet in a loop

I've also recently dug out my tf101 (not G). To get it running, I have all that's listed at the start of this thread. The problem I'm having is the dreaded KatKiss boot screen "lock up", where it just sits at the KatKiss load screen. This seems to happen after I connect to Google Play. With the base setup (see below), I can add my Google account and connect to Google Play. If I try to do a new app install or update, the device reboots and goes into the KatKiss boot screen with the animated start, and stays there. From there, with the device USB connected, I can issue "adb reboot recovery" to get to TWRP and then perform the factory reset wipe (wipes data, cache and Dalvik). If I don't connect to Google Play, I think it might be fine. I've tried newer version of open_gapps and either they won't install or, with the most recent open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-yyymmdd, the TWRP installer kicks back saying there isn't enough space. I see my 2016 gapps has a size of 66,664 KB. Next one I have is from 20170718 with a size of 124,359 KB. Seems much more has slipped into the "pico" version since the 20160219 release. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm wondering if NOT installing gapps and going with a different store would work better (e.g. Amazon?). I'd rather have the tablet connect to my Google account and use Google Play, but it causes it to crash/lock with attempted updates, then it doesn't make the tablet very useful. I've turned off auto-updates to control what gets installed/updated, but it seems that once the table is Internet connected AND my Google account added, it's going to try and connect back to the mothership at some time and pick up a bug to send it into the start/boot-lock.
My setup:
1. TWRP 2.8.1.1
2. KatKiss 6.0_034
3. BETA SuperSU v2.52
4. open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160219
To get connected via ADB.exe, I used "adb-latest-install.bat". I'm running Windows 10 Pro.

I think I'd like to try using the tablet without Google Play. I saw @Papounet1961 suggest Huawei. Any alternate app store/repositories recommendations?

If you don't want to use Huawei, you can try these alternative stores
- Amazon Appstore
- F-Droid
- APK Mirror
- Samsung Galaxy Store
I had this same exact issue a while back. See my original post on it here. Never got it resolved while using the open-gapps. Will have to try a different app store to see if that works.
@Hooligan404 - Did you ever find a workaround?

you could try apkpure also but not sure it will run on on the good old tf though https://apkpure.com/apkpure-app.html?icn=aegon&ici=image_home
Need to fire up mine again, been too long since i did that.
I never did find a stable open_gapps that didn't try to update and then crash. My final install didn't include open_gapps and instead I went with APK Mirror for apps because I had used it before and was familiar with it. Like most projects, I brushed off the dust, got it to a relatively workable state with some project ideas, then re-shelved it because "shiny new object" passed by. Also, the TF base/keyboard isn't working very well where I have to press super hard on some of the keys to get them to be recognized. The battery in it also expanded so I removed it, making it top heavy. Part of my project resurrection idea made use of the keyboard, but it's now less desirable because of the hardware issues. I can't seem to throw away something that still works, so the TF might find purpose yet, maybe as a Smart Home display/interface. Still much potential, if not enough time to realize the potential. ;-)
Hello there, not tried this but seems very interesting.
Edit : well, this tutorial is made to work without google apps...
Another point : if you need a file for your tf101 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ive-got-a-lot-of-files-for-tf101.4368299/

171KatKiss ROM
MarshMallow 6.0.1 ReleaseAsus 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

Status: Stable
Created 2016-02-19
Last Updated 2018-10-1956Tips
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/optimize37New Version #026
New rom version available: KatKiss-6.0_026.zip
Note that since the SuperSU app is updating, if it's missing you need to install it back from the playstore (even after flashing the supersu zip with the rom).
ChangeLog:
- Upgrade to Marshmallow-MR2-release
- Update to May Marshmallow release
- Update to June Marshmallow release
- Soft Keyboard: disable physical ALT Key mapping by default35New Version #029
New rom version available: KatKiss-6.0_029.zip
Note that since the SuperSU app is updating, if it's missing you need to install it back from the playstore (even after flashing the supersu zip with the rom).
ChangeLog:

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
NavBar:
- To switch between full screen and split View you can use theNavBar 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 theNavBar Button
- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use theNavBar 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) - Latest Rom Version: KatKiss-6.0_034.zip | Mirror
