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

[mitchum67]

After failed install I tried several times installing again, and now it works fine !!
for someone how run into the same problem:
If you get a bootloop, switch off your device (holding vol+ and power until it switch off)
hold vol- and power until it switch on, wait until you see 3 small icons. Choose the first icon and you are back in recovery..

(But now Iˋm missing a file-explorer...[emoji4] should there someone preinstalled,?)

Have you tried a clean install (format data)?

I did everything like in the desciription step by step. wifi is still buggy but the tablet hasnt crashed since yesterday anymore.

Hi, after my TF300T and TF700T all running Katkiss, I tried my new TF701T with your brand new rom. But I can't find a TWRP. So it that (buggy) KANG TWRP the only recovery available for the TF701T? I installed that, but it does not have F2FS available, not even via adb. Any idea how to format /data to f2fs and which Recovery is recommended?

Unfortunately it's not currently possible to use F2FS on TF701 from what I understand the boot loader is not allowing it. Even when you do manage to format it to F2FS the boot loader treats it as if the DATA partition is corrupted and proceeds to re-format it back to EXT4. So until someone manages to find a way around the boot loader problem no F2FS for now. To be honest even without it this ROM is very snappy already performance wise.

Is there any way to update #17 to #18 without formatting, or do you always have to do a format install?

edit I formatted cache and tried, failed to install. Then formatting system, failed to install.

Then I just formatted then both again, tried installing again, and it worked that time. It was the first time I was able to install without formatting data. And I'm up and running again in a matter of a few minutes. Maybe KatKiss just fails to install more often than other roms? Idk. CM is the only other I've used before KatKiss.

Hey Timduru, thanks for your great work on this ROM!
Is there any way to make the camera work in the future or is it inherently impossible with Nougat on this device?

Success!!

Hi! I installed this ROM successfully and I'm very happy with it! Thanks a lot to timduru for maintaining this tablet alive!

I want to share my experience, and my steps done. Maybe it helps to another newbies to reach this rom successfully as I did. I'm not an experienced android developer, so I had to read everything from scratch.

First of all, I read the entire rom with android 6 thread. Then I read the thread with Android 7. As I share my tablet with my wife and the android 6 has no multiuser option, I decided to install android 7 hoping timduru to fix in the future the camera problem. It's not important for me at all, If I took 2 photos in last 4 years with that camera, I'm overreacting
Reading the android 6 thread, I found this post with a great starters guide. So I followed and also this post with the Kang TWRP. (and all the problems related to)

So, with the north set on having V11.4.1.29 in order to be able to install kang twrp, I started seeing what version of android I had using this post post 3 thread kang twrp. I found v10.26.1.18 US version (android 4.3). So I updated to V11.4.1.17 (android 4.4) via software update. Then did another update and finally got V11.4.1.29.

Now I had to unlock my device. I don't even know why, but in berndblb post it showed up. I activated USB debugging option. Then activated the Unknown Sources, copied the apk downloaded from asus and followed all the steps. It went fine and now I see a message during the boot "This device is unlocked". This step deleted all my data, users, and give me a factory resetted android. (I didn't care because I already did a backup, but I don't see this warning in any post)

Then I had to install ADB tools, fastboot tools and drivers for the device. I have windows 10 insider preview and I used this post and all worked fine. I installed the exe, activated USB debugging option on the tablet again, then I connected to the computer, accepted the RSA key and then I started with the Kang TWRP post.

The post abour flashing has 2 files, one called "FASTBOOT IMGs" and another one called "FLASHABLE ZIPS INCLUDING LATEST BOOTLOADER". I didn't know which one I should use, but the second one scared me and I googled for another how to's and all of them talking about img files, so I choose the fastboot img file.
I did:

adb devices

and I got my device listed. Then

adb reboot bootloader

and the tablet restarted and showed me 3 icons.
Then I did

fastboot devices

and the tablet was not listed, and this command is not present in any how to, I looked for it on the command help. I disconnected the USB, connected again, ran the command again and it showed up. Then ran

flash recovery 701_twrp_2870.img

and then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Here showed up the 3 icons again. As I don't know what to select, I googled it and I finally selected RCK which appear to be the "recovery icon" or something like that. The fact is selecting that icon showed up the twrp

Another warning: This commands differ from the ones present on the berndblb post because they are for another tablet model, but following as guideline and looking for the right commands it works 100%. It's the same process, with diferent files.

Once I got twrp working, I copied the rom, gapps and supersu files to the microsd and followed this post instructions step by step.

I formatted data, and it failed. Then I wiped (pressed wipe button) and it failed too. Then I have tried to format data again, and it worked. Then I wiped again and it worked. So I installed rom, then super su, then gapps. Wipe cache/dalvik and restarted. Everything worked fine!

So I will try this rom and I hope to report any finding (if any). Summarizing the general steps were:

• update android to a version which work with kang twrp.
• do asus unlock
• install ADB/fastboot tools
• installl kang twrp
• install rom

Thanks a lot to berndblb, timduru and all the people involved in this software!!! :good: :laugh:

Hi, why is device encryption not supported according to the first post? Not sure if the Tegra 4 has hardware encryption, I guess no, but the software based encryption should always work? I have all my devices encrypted.

I installed the rom and the pico GApps, but there is no browser app. Is that correct? I always had at least the standard browser in all Kitkass before. Which browser would you recommend regarding performance, as I'm hardly shaken by the slow TF300T and the even slower TF700T? Google on Playstore seems to only offer the Chrome, not the default Android browser (which has the same code base today afaik?).

Wifi 5Ghz does not work for Europe (Portugal). How do I solve this?

Try to set channel 36 in your Router. 5ghz works well here

What prevents you from posting it here?

I have the KatKiss-7.1_TF701T_017 with this issue: Next day opening the tablet and trying to unlock I always see that the keyboard dock doesn't work anymore. First I thought about the physical connection, but more weird, the volume buttons of the keyboard dock are working fine, but no other key. Detaching from the dock and reattaching makes it always work again. The keyboard is also stable and reliable while working and moving the tab around so I doubt it is a physical issue. Has anybody seen that? Changelog about latest v018 doesn't show anything related.

Then I just tried the device encryption, but it just restarts and does nothing about encryption. Why? Is the feature just disabled or not possible to provide? The CPU should be strong enough to have at least some software based encryption.

i did. as i said it happens randomly. i wanted to help the dev to improve his rom. i dont understand the logs but maybe somebody from here?

Has anyone else noticed faster battery drain since version 18?

fix when having error message during install

Coming from android 5.1.1 cm12, I couldn't install this rom, had always this
"mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP at /system: Invalid argument"
error message.

The fix was to download and extract the rom zip and modify one line the file
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

#before: mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP", "/system", "");

Afterwards, zip files into a zip file and update again (for example via adb sideload)

Maybe it helps others as well.

Having one issue with the keyboards: There is no QWERTZ option for German Language, only QWERTY (which is quite uncommon here) ??

Has anyone else noticed faster battery drain since version 18?

Jep, thats maybe because Core 2,3 and 4 dont go offline when the taplet is idle

Amazing ROM with some little issues

KatKiss ROM

​

Nougat 7.1 Release​

Asus TF701T​

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 the rom's main goal is efficiency, speed/responsiveness,
while not adding bloated features that will slow things down

Install Instructions:

• Backup everything !
• Boot into the recovery
  
  The first time or everytime you have an issue when dirty flashing (Especially when changing android major versions):
  [*] do a full wipe, if you have issues make sure that you format /data (format is different than wipe)
  Warning: formatting will remove what is stored in your internal storage, so store the rom /gapps/supersu zips onto an external storage (microSD, SD card..) or make sure you know how to push them back through adb.
  
  Note that on the TF701 sometime the partition might get corrupted after format in the recovery, so you might need to format to ext3 then ext4 again, and/or reflash the rom if it fails to flash the 1st time
  
  Then everytime (even when "dirty flashing") do the following steps:
• Flash the rom
• Flash the SuperSU zip
  [*]Flash gapps
• Wipe cache/dalvik
• Reboot

Hi, thank you Tim for the great job.
I really like the Nougatella rom and I am looking forward to the next update maybee with the camera bugfix.
It´s important because of using skype or other conference apps.
I also found out, that the miracast option is not working - I tried with diffent dongels, but got the same results. After a few seconds it lose the connection and the Pad needs to search the dongle again. If you are using DLNA, or AirPlay mode it works fine, but you cant mirror the screen to TV.
Same behaviour I have by transfer my fotos from my Olympus TG-3 Camera via Wifi. The TF701T find the Wifi SID, starts the connection, cuts it again and the camera wifi is invisible for some seconds, like miracast and it worked with older rom versions.

I hobe you have an idea to fix this problems.
If I can support you - I will do. But sorry I am not a developer, only a poweruser and tester.

Thanks and please go one
