[ROM][N 7.1.2] [ KatKiss - Nougatella #039 ]

[berndblb]

Hi timduru, I can't get my SD Card working correctly. No matter if formatting it as mobile or internal, Chrome app can't download any files and claims "No SD card found to store...". The same with the Aquamail app, but here changing the download location to the internal formatted SD-Card makes the whole tablet freeze, the screen is frozen and no reaction anymore. Last line from logcat:

08-13 20:20:28.794  1608  1608 I rm_ts_server: type=1400 audit(0.0:307): avc: denied { read } for scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=u:r:init:s0 tclass=netlink_kobject_uevent_socket permissive=1

Then I can only hard reset the device. However after starting, the SD-Card seems to be mounted correclty:

tf701t:/ # df -h /storage/self/primary/                                        
Filesystem     Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/fuse       59G  518M   58G   1% /storage/emulated

Have you tested internal mounted (adopted) SD cards?

With adopted SD card, the system is crashing radomly.

What are you trying to use?
Card type/speed, size, file system?

Don't care, I checked that card with mkfs.ext4 -ccv on a Linux and starting from 60% it starts to have errors, running for hours now:

Testing with pattern 0xaa:  95.59% done, 21:31:51 elapsed. (0/3958893/0 errors)

No doubt why Android was crashing with that. Anyway it is a Samsung 64GB Class10 micro SDXC. Android already claimed it is slow when formatting. About the filesystem of adopted SD I'm not sure, is that ext4 on some dmcrypted container? I know that -ccv checking actually stresses and destroys the SD, but what else to do for checking integrity and avoid such silly errors on Android just because of IO errors, if not writing and reading from every sector of a new SD?

SDXC cards never worked for me in the Transformer. Try a SDHC and see if it gives you the same problem

 

[_cosi_]

Maybe it's worthwhile boiling down specifically what those miscellaneous processes are?

For example, does running

top -m 20 -s cpu

(as root) show anything interesting?

As mentioned already, I see that logd starts to eat CPU after some hours.
This time I killed it, it was automatically restarted and is running fine since several days.

I had the same problem with logd bogging my TF701 down. I never narrowed down the culprit. I solved the problem by renaming logd to logd.bak.

You can do it in the file manager in TWRP or a root enabled file manager.

Path is /system/bin/logd

Okay, but unless logd itself has a bug, killing it is just shooting the messenger. More likely some app (in a tight loop perhaps) is flooding the log service and logd gets the blame because of high CPU usage. Incidentally, what do you mean by "eat" the CPU? Is it 10%, 100%?

Next time you are able to reproduce the CPU-eating state, why not try

logcat -S

and perhaps we can get some insight into what process is hammering the log service.

KatKiss ROM

Nougat 7.1 Release
Asus TF701T

@timduru, this must be a recent development, as when I looked around back in December this hadn't been created yet, so I held off on looking into a tf701.

With SDHC you mean no card larger than 32GB would work? I remember I always had 64GB SDXC in the TF300T and TF700T, though formatted as mobile so far, not adopted SD (internal).
I'm going to try with a 16GB card I have around. This one had no errors at least with a mkfs.ext4 -cv, as -ccv may even kill a good SD.

However as 16GB is too small for me to migrate all data, I would need to have some files on the internal drive and some on the adopted SD. However formatting as internal but not migrating does not mount the drive for users. As root I can, but only few apps could do that.

Some other issue with the lock screen I had for a long time: The lock screen, that need to be dragged from bottom to the upper side is a lot harder to drag than on usual Lineageos 14.1. Most times when dragging I lose the drawer if not doing it slowly and releasing only right at the boarder. Moreover there is no option in the settings to make the pincode pad appear first, like the option Lineageos has.

I'm using a sdxc 64gb with ext4 without problem on my tf701

 

[msssm]

You formatted that ext4 yourself and you are using that as mobile storage? Android itself wouldn't format as ext4 by default, afaik. You could do that with TWRP or externally.
But ok, thanks. SDXC does not seem to be an issue.

Yes I formatted this sd under Linux.

How do I use a "internal" SD without migrating data? It is mounted at /mnt/expand/$ID but only with the usual data structure beyond, not accessible by most applications.
You may ask why I like to use the SD as internal, if not migrating. With that 16GB SD I tried, the migration has not enough space. So I just like to use it as separate SD card for some files. I don't like to have it mobile, because "internal" gets always encrypted and formatted with f2fs. Encryption is actually useless if the rest of the TF700T does not support encryption for now. Are you going to get that working? Or is there some hardware dependent blocker to get that working?

Hello Guys

I have been out of the TF701 space for about 9 months due to a drop and a screen that only shows black and white stripes. BUUUTTT I have a semi-new-like TF701 and have the newest firmware on my tablet.

Its working like a champ.

Everything is working as expected , fast and zippy. great battery. Using the dual screen. Awesome.

I am having issues with 2 things. one is straight forwards the other is wierd

1) Bluetooth with a Stereo Bluetooth headset. I am using a AWEI-980BL And when I connrct it continually Disconnects and I hear clicks all the time. every 10-30 seconds . The same headset works on my Laptop(Windows 10), my mobile (S7 Edge,Noug), and my Desktop (Selg made, Windows 10). I have made sure other bluetooth sources are shut off when I try. Not sure. whats going on here.
2) The wierd one. I cannot authenticate through 3rd party apps. I have 2 apps. (Open SSL VPN Client). and KODI. Both are trying to the same site Premiumize.me . They have a VPN and a Debrid service for streaming and downloading. Again both these work on my S7 Edge. I need the VPN because my cell provider is blocking the sites used for movies. I have tried many different times. BTW I usually use the dock for typing but I have tried typing the password may times both ways. Including copy paste.

If anyone has any ideas, or spot anything stupid I havent tried let me know.

Steve

Security -> External storage permissions -> make writeable to all apps

This is why I love KatKiss!

make sure you uncheck "phone audio" capability in the device's bluetooth settings.

it's /storage/<ID> that you need to use

I have exactly the same. Where it is a little swipe on the phone, it is a big drag all the way from the bottom to the top of the screen, sometimes twice, to unlock it. Although annoying, I am used to it now, but I still don't really understand it.

@timduru - Can you confirm what recovery you are using with this ROM? I don't see anything mentioned in the first posts. I had been using CWM, but it seemed like everyone moved to TWRP. I am trying that now to see if flashing with that fixes any of my current issues, but it doesn't appear to always work correctly. (It fails even when I try to wipe the cache or Dalvik cache.)

I WAS able to re-install v024 with it, however, so it is working from that regard. I am using version 2.8.7.0 ... should I be using something else?

Thanks!

There are only 2 recoveries available for this tablet: A CWM lacking touch interface and a buggy Kang TWRP. At least buggy concerning the formatting/wiping bit, but most people still seem to prefer it due to the touch interface and loads more features than CWM. And so do I....
What are your "current issues"? There's very little a very clean install including formatting /data does not fix on this tablet so I wonder if you did that already.
And if you get stuck with errors like "cannot mount this" and cannot mount that", just change file system on /system to ext3, then right back to ext4 and flash again. That seems to work most of the time.

Installed the ROM yesterday without any problems and full batteries (dock & device).

Over night the docks battery is drained to 0%.

Is there anything I've to setup?

Under Settings -> Dock -> Dock Power Mode the "WakeUp tablet with key press" is disabled and can't be enabled, but on/off key is working.

Any ideas? Thanks...
