Issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone
Please, report bugs and issues using the tracker, a post in the forum can be easily missed.
Current hotfixes: none
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads
Build from source: http://android.doshaska.net/cm6build
Wiki page: https://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/CyanogenMod_for_Milestone
Important: Please, use the new OpenRecovery 1.46 for CM6 installation - the system partition was not being erased properly from the update package install script in older versions.
The Androidiani OR has been updated to be based on 1.46 (in version 3.3), so it's recommended too.
Update:
18.03.2011 0.08-11.03.18
- proprietary files update
- various wlan connectivity issues fixed (some N routers, wpa2, 801.x enterprise etc.), as in current CM7
28.01.2011 0.07-11.01.28
- proprietary files update (boot.img=>kernel, modules etc from SHOLS_U2_05.26.0)
- the infamous SMS bugs fixed (the OS version should actually read 2.2.2, sorry, I left 2.2.1 there)
- Greek support added to LatinIME 2.3 (including dictionary)
- ext4 module included (can be used to mount ext2 only - writing to journalled ext3/4 is not working correctly yet)
- new separate BPSW update.zip package (same as in SHOLS_U2_05.26.0/SHLA_U2_05.0C.0)
15.01.2011 0.06-11.01.15
- proprietary files update (boot.img, modules, libaudiopolicy), no sleep after usb/power unplug seems to be finally fixed
- added ro.config.no-action-on-plug property. When set to 1, the screen will not automatically turn on when plugged to usb/power (useful especially for users of solar power adapters). Disabled by default, can be changed in /system/build.prop.
- TI OMX libs compiled from sources again (thanks, Edgard)
28.12.2010 0.05-10.12.27
- battery top charge level fixed, updated WLAN driver, ...
22.12.2010 0.04-10.12.22
- 2.3 keyboard (with all the dictionaries as usual, plus 2.3 framework/ex included), but no prediction for hw keyboard yet
- media_profiles.xml adjustments (safer high camcorder profile h264 bitrate) + small camera fixes (sounds etc.)
- small agps fix (issue 295)
- multitouch.distinct defined (fix Google Maps 5.0 rotation gesture etc.)
- bluetooth discoverabilty timeout configurable (thanks H.Czedik)
- modversion change to easily distinguish current build
- etc.
12.12.2010 0.04-10.12.12
- AAC and AMR Wideband audio encoders are finally working!
- additional video quality camcorder profile added - "middle" (customize it in /etc/media_profiles.xml)
- Camera app - fixed encoder change from UI not being used until camera reinitialization, camcorder shortcut added
- adjusted smartass governor defaults
8.12.2010 0.04-10.12.08b
- ignore light sensor when flashlight is on (better solution based on updated flashlight code), SMS time stamp fix, input method chooser dialog fix, smartass governor included etc.
- cpufreq_stats module included (b), Torch app in sync with all widget's flashlight buttons - fixes possible FC (b)
Note: there is a leftover backup file /etc/init.d/10overclock~, please delete it, thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
4.12.2010 0.04-10.12.04
- Launcher Pro 3D drawer scrolling fix, SMS TP-Data-Coding fix, flashlight code clean-up, Torch app, national roaming fix, multitouch fixes, notification LED fixes, EAP phase 2 fix (wifi), toast message for ScreenTimeout button etc.
29.11.2010 0.04-10.11.29
- added flashlight toggle gesture (as requested)
- CM updates: mainly lockscreen gestures updates and fixes (slider bars can be completely disabled, added simple phone unlock gesture, sound toggle gesture)
27.11.2010 0.04-10.11.27
- CM updates: lockscreen gestures, ADW launcher 1.3.1, camera app fixes
25.11.2010 0.04-10.11.25
- small changes: camera update, auto/dim mode for brightness button as requested (notification widget), landscape lockscreen fix (phone/messaging), 2g/3g button fixed again
- etc.
22.11.2010 0.04-10.11.22
- kernel modules update: from now on, the overclock and interactive governor modules use the new symsearch module (good work, Skrilax_CZ!), so they can find the needed symbol addresses automatically. Therefore any future kernel upgrades or downgrades should be painless - there will be no need to find and specify the addresses manually anymore.
Interactive governor also updated to use cpufreq_global_kobject
Notice the new symsearch.ko insmod in 10overclock script - overclock and interactive modules now depend on it
- various CM/AOSP updates (camera, stagefright mp4 updates, overscrolling fixes, phone/messaging lockscreen etc.)
- other small changes
20.11.2010 0.04-10.11.20
- too many CM/AOSP updates to list (camera, stagefright...)
- (impression: ) faster
16.11.2010 0.04-10.11.16
- this update only solves possible write_raw_image problem during flashing
(if you've successfully flashed 10.11.15, there's no need to update)
- the BatteryManger.apk removed (its inclusion was a mistake)
15.11.2010 0.04-10.11.15
- power management
- the mainline CM6 camera is back (continuous autofocus + stable shot feature), as it received some updates making it usable on Milestone/Droid again
- do not use overclock scripts from OR clones, it won't work! Better edit the /etc/init.d/10overclock file (the address parameters have changed)
- known issue - lockscreen might not work, I'll look into it later
- 2.2.1 sbf flash is no longer a prerequisite for CM6 installation
14.11.2010 0.03-10.11.14
- fixed the occasional reboot when sdcard is to be shared via usb - Issue 81: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=81
(it was caused by a general android bug in NativeDaemonConnector- see https://github.com/nadlabak/android_frameworks_base/commit/4c510ab6d1c55c941024859594b5146737020b5f for details, it took me some time to figure this one out )
- added support for dalvik.vm.dexopt-cache-only property in build.prop - when set to 1, dalvik-cache of all apps will be stored in /cache only (default is 0 - system apps have dalvik-cache in /cache, data/sdcard apps in /data). No need to use the memhack/dalvik-cache hack anymore, simply set this property and delete the caches from OR and you're ready.
- removed the adb during boot hack (to stop reports on issue 131), can be installed via separate update zip package when needed
- as usual, all the latest official CM updates included
- plus some other small things
8.11.2010 0.03-10.11.08
- suspend auto-brightness level changes when flashlight is on (to prevent switch to maximum brightness caused by flashlight)
- more proprietary smali code injected - now you can replace the included LatinIME with the one from the Motorola's 2.2.1 test build (you will need to replace not only LatinIME.apk in app, but also libjni_latinime.so in lib). The language switching will be possible only via the soft keyboard, but the hw keyboard will follow
- much simpler sh hijack (realized directly in the shell binary - as suggested by Skrilax_CZ and tested by Edgard)
- CMstats and RomManager not included anymore
- few other minor changes
- all the latest CM source commits included
3.11.2010 0.03-10.11.03
- swap volume buttons in landscape mode (can be disabled in build.prop - ro.config.volume_keys_rotation) [ http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=170 ]
- built from the latest CM sources
- APN fixes (dun for the 3g mobile hotspot added, supl removed)
- missing system/default.prop added
- after installation, please install also the hotfix above to avoid bootloops when bluetooth is enabled
27.10.2010 0.03-10.10.27
notable fixes:
- 2g/3g data toggle buttons in both power control widget and notification area
- flash playback of h264 videos
- embedded album art
- 3G mobile hotspot
- alt+shift+4 can be used to enter $ on the included euro_querty keyboard layout
- agps and charge_only_mode (previously released as hotfix)
notable new features:
- LED flashlight button can be enabled in notification area
- users who don't use docks but phone cases with magnetic closure can disable the dock observer
(edit /system/build.prop and set ro.config.dockobserver=0)
21.10.2010 0.03-10.10.21b
- now based on the new kernel and proprietary files from the moto 2.2.1 test leak, you will need to flash a 2.2.1 sbf before if you haven't done that already
- agps is still hit and miss use the hotfix for agps
- only the notification icon reference has been fixed in the Usb.apk - don't use the Windows Media Sync mode, it won't work, I'll remove that mode later (signature is fixed in 0.03-10.10.21b)
- in the leaked firmware, Moto is using amr audio for HQ video recording - the aac encoder is broken, I'm doing the same for now
- no functional ext2, cifs and nfs modules yet (maybe the Droid X kernel sources published yesterday will help to fix the kernel modules...)
- stagefright player is enabled again, if you experience troubles with playback of some media files (mainly HE AAC), you can set media.stagefright.enable-player to false in /system/build.prop
- custom building: the repos are currently out of sync, please be patient, I 'll consolidate the sources and update the github repos later
- CyanogenMod changelog can be found in /etc/CHANGELOG-CM.txt or here.
06.10.2010 0.02-10.10.06
- media playback - for the local media playback, opencore instead of stagefright player will be used. Please note that it will lower your Quadrant score. Quadrant seems to be unable to test the h264 at all when stagefright is used - it considers the h264 test done immediately, while when opencore is used, the test is actually carried. Therefore, the simple change of the property media.stagefright.enable-player=true will double your score. But it has no connection to the real world. Actually, the h264 playback by the stagefright player has slightly higher CPU demand than opencore h264 playback (and both are using the same TI OMX libraries that do the actual h264 decoding on the hw DSP). If you don't care about the real performance but only about the benchmark results, you can change the media.stagefright.enable-player property back to true in /system/build.prop.
This change fixes the short audio sample playback, aac incompatibilities and possibly other media issues too.
addition: quote from mail from the Quadrant developer - I have not determined why Stagefright produces much higher values yet. Perhaps this is caused by hardware acceleration or some compatibility issues. Either way, it will take some time to investigate this problem and design a proper solution.
- Camera - the recent CyanogenMod changes have been reverted and the zoom support corrected. The continuous autofocus mode introduced recently by Cyanogen seems to not suit well our current camera implementation.
- kernel tuning script added to init.d. The scheduling/memory tweaks are enabled, the network tweaks commented out by default. You can change it to your liking by editing of the /etc/init.d/11kernel_tuning script.
- another AGPS change - back to the Motorola way. After this update.zip installation, please delete manually the file /data/location/location.cfg and edit your APN setting to delete the supl from the APN type (I will change the default APN settings directly in the build later). Then reboot.
- Toggle 2G/3G app is included for saving the battery, set it to switch to 2G automatically whenever the 3G is not actually needed.
02.10.2010 0.02-10.10.02
more AGPS fixes - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=5
wma playback fix - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=82
Motorola PhonePortal included and working - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=55
Overclock module statistics fix - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=60
MMS fix - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues/detail?id=68
Motorola QuickOffice included again
29.9.2010 0.02
This release is not much about bug fixing, more about the way it is built - the process has been finally automated. Built from the latest CM sources.
Anyone can build a nightly from the current repositories, see http://android.doshaska.net/cm6build
There might be new issues, please report them using the bug tracker.
Now in the form of update.zip - put it to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates and use the Apply Update menu.
Google apps have to be installed separately, also in the form of update.zip, applied after CM6: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
22.9.2010 0.01c
- includes the previously released hot fixes for APN/GPS (i5) and unwanted boot during charge only mode (i10)
- temporarily used usb_mass_storage_fix script (borrowed from Dext3r) is gone. Motorola's proprietary usbd is back accompanied with Usb.apk (re-engineered to reflect changes in 2.2 os classes and to disable the unavailable options). StorageNotifications.java (part of services.jar) adjusted to not duplicate the notifications from Usb.apk. Usb.apk together with usbd allows to suspend the usb kernel driver and the phone can enter the suspend mode now. Hopefully, the battery life will be better.
- several adjustments in init scripts (includes the check for fighting adbd sometimes launched from the first init instance)
- QuickOffice.apk included
- Street.apk removed, so you can download and install the updated version from the market
- audioflinger recompiled to not include one unnecessary static lib
Only system.img has been changed and there should be no need to wipe data when you update from 0.01/0.01b, but I highly recommend to delete cache and dalvik-cache. Use OpenRecovery 1.37 or newer. Don't forget to backup your customized /system/etc/init.d/10overclock first .
17.9.2010 0.01b
fix for the reboot issue (or at least for one common cause of it) - humble return to the mot_boot_mode hijack (sh hijack discarded)
What is working: hopefully everything (GSM, WiFi, BlueTooth, GPS, camera & focus, video & audio recording & playback, app2sd, Adobe flash)
Custom additions to CM6: several additional dictionaries for the keyboard, specific properties - http://android.doshaska.net/cm6prop
To do:
- done (0.02) prepare and release the source for custom building (=> installation via update.zip in the future)
- clean up the mess in init scripts
- done by Skrilax_CZ - 2nd-init, many thanks invent some better init hijack
- done (0.01c) make some non polling usb fix (for now it's using the Dext3r's script - thanks)
- etc.

- Adobe Flash can be downloaded and installed directly from Adobe web or Android Market
- USB tethering: use Solutor's USB Tether app - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839492
- if you have installed adb_during_boot and the usb is connected during boot, you will have to disconnect and reconnect the usb cable before you can mount the SD card to a computer. chmod 644 /system/etc/init.d/00adb_during_boot will disable the early adb mode and the mount will be possible immediately.
Installation:
- use OpenRecovery Apply Update menu to install the zip copied to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates
- data wipe/factory reset is highly recommended when you are upgrading from another rom/firmware or from 0.01/0.02 to the current version
- the included RIL files are for the European frequencies, if you are in Canada, US, Lat Am or Thailand, you will need to replace them to get 3g working
- if you are in France, you should replace ro.product.brand=MOTO_RTEU with ro.product.brand=MOTO_RTFR in /system/build.prop (the ap_gain_france.bin will be used then)

Good job man! Glad to see someone else doing some milestone dev
Thank you!! I'm going to flash it!
I cannot wait to install it, want to be one of the first to try it.
I still have to thank you for flac on 2.1.
thanks!!!!...the rom is very very fast...but i have 3 reboots in 30 min...
sorry for my english
Awesome work! Flashed and testing, so far it is working PERFECTLY.
- system will reboot when sh.bin used to run the second instance of init or the 2nd init instance itself is killed, because the original init instance will suddenly try continue the deliberately frozen init process on an already running system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To do:
- invent some better init hijack
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that's causing the reboots
yes, it's alpha...
Wow!!!, the famous CyanogenMod ROM`s for Milestone??. Oh my God!!, now I don`t know what ROM use: MotoFrenzy, EclairModv3 or this!!.
It`s great see milestone devs. At least my latinoamerican Milestone, suddenly, doesn`t see so obsolete.
Good work man!!!!!
i have a error:
E:failed to verify whole file signature
any solution ? thank
This is an awesome ROM very quickly and very well structured. The only lack the constant reboots. Thank you for your work
No signal? Copy over baseband files
IF you do not get signal remember to copy your GSM files from your working ROM.
I had to copy over baseband files for Canada.
Wow this rom is neato! What speed is it currently running at?
I've have not had a reboot yet, i've been using it for about half hour, will report back later.
Thanks!
EDIT
Here is a Quadrant screen shot, it gets ~1300 consistently. Looks like its oc'd to 900 mhz.

I've been using this rom for more than an hour and I haven't got a reboot yet? I don't know what i did Wrong or Right
900mhz, it shows on SetCPU.
So far, so good. No reboots yet (?).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45M1xSlMEfM
Little video (in portuguese) showing it running for those curious but afraid.
900mhz show on Linpack
How can I remove the Overclock?
I'd like stock frequences.
thanx
Awesome man!Cant wait to try!

Hey, I just tried it multiple times. I don't get a reboot. No reboots, ever.
Did you wipe your phone after rom install?
Its great!
been half a day without any reboot. There is some FC here and there, but totally acceptable.

i wiped before and after the install.
did you acutally connect to a wlan or did u just enable and disable it?
strange... now it worked from the widget. but that´s definetly a bug.

Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie. Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
Files can only be copied from OpenRecovery , using adb shell. OR Root Explorer
Filenames are:
File_Audio
File_Audio2
File_GSM
File_Seem_Flex_Tables
generic_pds_init
Here's an introduction to CyanogenMod 7 for the un-initiated. This ROM is an update to the original CM7 ROM by TickerGuy. A big thank you to Isaacj87 (ikarosdev), TickerGuy, & Mantera for making this possible.

Updates since TickerGuy's final CM7 B0.8:
- Default kernel based on TheOC kernel with overclocking/undervolting options (61 Mhz - 2 Ghz). (Beware of OC risks, it's not overclocked unless you intentionally change settings)
- Improved UI response without giving up battery life by switching to Interactive governor & SIO scheduler as default (I DO NOT recommend changing these).
- Rewrote touchscreen driver for smoother & more accurate response
- Updated Adreno 205 graphics drivers (12 -> 24 FPS in Nenamark2)
- Fixed wifi & sensor event wakelocks for better battery life.
- Intentional BT wake_lock added for reliable Bluetooth when enabled.
- BT & Wifi can now be enabled together without 100% CPU usage.
- Wifi connects to hidden SSIDs also & scans faster.
- Improved camcorder video ([email protected]/2/0.5 Mbps) & audio (AAC 64kbps @ 44khz) encoding & auto-focusing.
- Improved light sensor readings for auto-backlight tuning in CM settings.
- Fixed sluggish accelerometer bug after long uptime since reboot.
- Extended time for "hold back button to kill app" to 3 seconds to prevent accidental kills.
- Restored default Android lowmemkiller settings for better multitasking apps (Can still be changed in /etc/init.d/99memory)
- Disabled DEBUG mode & HDMI service startup since it's not working anyway
- ICS Roboto font default instead of DroidSans
Updates from CyanogenMod 7.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7:
- T9 predictive search for contacts in phone dialpad
- Customizable carrier label on lockscreen
- ICS Ring (+blade) lock, rotation & transition animations
- Bluetooth external GPS dongle support
- Many other minor fixes & updates such as correct EXIF camera date, options to disable bootup animation, scrolling cache , BT quickconnect, lock volume keys in quiet mode.
Known Problems (everything else works):
- HDMI does not work (Keep a Froyo backup if need to use it occasionally)
- BT or WiFi enabled will prevent deep sleep mode, this is a required hack on custom ROMs (Use built-in Notification bar widget to quickly toggle)
- Some videos in portrait mode flickers. (Enable CM settings 180 orientation & flip upside down)
- Volume sometimes low (pausing or restarting audio sometimes helps)
This ROM is STABLE and has very good battery life when BT & Wifi are off (less than 1%/hr idle when no apps or services are transferring background data). If you encounter any issues, make a NANDroid backup in recovery (DO NOT use the Titanium Backup App, which can cause more problems), then factory-reset & reflash the ROM, try to reproduce the problem BEFORE installing/restoring any Apps. Most problems are due to apps & user settings.

md5sum checksum: e2fa38f568af393c525cede9f6eaf025
(I recommend PC download & USB cable transfer onto phone's sdcard for reliability)
Installation:
Follow these simple instructions if you've never flashed a ROM on the MT. If upgrading from a previous CM7, need to wipe cache & advanced -> dalvik-cache in recovery mode (it keeps user data). Also wipe BOTH caches if you experience problems. Android Market/Play is not included for legal reasons, you MUST flash gapps.zip RIGHT AFTER flashing this ROM zip for the first time before rebooting, gtalk.zip (Google Talk) is optional.

Build 20111223:
First version.
nice! one of the things that is holding me back from upgrading from the optimus v to the triumph is that cm7 is still lacking but glad to see some progress is being made.
Very nice. Keep the development alive for this awesome device.
Whyzor, is the sluggish acclerometer fix confirmed working? I've tried farting around with it to no avail on my personal build, but I'm having difficulty making headway.

Interesting that you asked, I was just trying to get a new build out today, I thought this fix worked since some others in another forum reported it did, and also a few Optimus V CM7 devs reported working too. So I did a 'make clobber', 'make clean' today, and it apparently broke proximity, light, accelerometer, magnetic sensors (GPS, temp, mic still worked according to AndroSensor app) on a clean build. I haven't confirmed everything yet, I'm making another clean build tonight & will know tomorrow if I reverted the fix above would work. I think originally I did a clean build before the fix, then applied fix, and did a 'dirty' build on top to get the sensors working AND (apparently) fixed.
I'd be interested to know if you apply the fix & do a clean build, whether the sensors still work.

Try rebooting into recovery & wipe cache AND dalvik-cache, it won't erase personal data.

I'll look into it sometime in the next few days. My build has very little that actually bugs me (g-sensor is the only one I can think of). My OP-V on IHO had the same issues, so I kinda expected it with this build. I did a custom build there as well based on Jerry's setup. I built my Motorola CM7 as a re-sync with CM essentially, based on Issac's git through the guide on androidforums, but everything that was questionable before worked on this build. I think the CM team hasn't paid too much attention to the g-sensor issue because the phones with the problem are constantly being rebooted (testing). If you reboot and use it, the sensor works fine for a while. It's just after a while that I notice sluggish performance (same on the OP-V). I'll try to get back with you or upload and send you my build with the fix integrated to test as soon as I can.

Well something is hosed pretty badly with my local repo, because even after reverting the fix I posted earlier, and a clean build, I still can't get sensors. I'm going to have to erase everything and sync from Isaac's repo if I want to build another ROM (it took over 24 hrs the first time).
I may just focus on kernel tweaks from now on since the CM7 side isn't getting much updates anyway. I've restored from a previous working nandroid backup and the sensors still work (so it's not a hardware problem).

Is the sensor fix uploaded to Issac's current repo? I'm also trying to get a git of my own to fork from Issac's and TG's builds respectively. I'm loading it onto my laptop now to see if the build changes. If not I can try to merge the changes with a bit of a tutorial and run another build. If you want, I can PM you a current link to the build I'm using right now as my daily. The updates haven't been pushed, but the ROM is dead stable. As far as repo sync is concerned, my first took about 3 hours. The computers I use are old and outdated. Both are 32bit systems. My desktop is 2.8Ghz single core with 2 gig of ram. My laptop is 1.4Ghz single on 1 gig of ram. They work great for me and I've had very few issues.
**sidenote** You may be able to repo sync to get the additional fixes that may be missing. Or, you may try to reload the "proprietary" files. I had a borked build that was missing some proprietary files. I had to reload them to rebuild and fix the issues.

No the sensor fix isn't in Isaac's repo, I had to manually add it. Here's a discussion about it: https://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android_device_lge_thunderc/issues/50
I'll try reloading the proprietary files, I have a working binary ROM from before still (with some optimizations of my own), just can't get that same config from building source. I'd be curious to see your changes pushed to a github. I was going to get to that with my optimizations as soon as I confirm a working build, until this happened.

My changes aren't really much IMO. Essentially a sync with minor tweaks.
Currently, I think github is screwy. I'm getting a fetch error.
Code:
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: Cannot fetch CyanogenMod/android_prebuilt
I think it's on their end. My desktop has the same issue. My sync on the laptop is sunk at 94%.

New 01-07 build uploaded. Check post #1 & #2 for link & changelog. If upgrading, just wipe cache AND dalvik-cache before flashing, it should keep all your user data & settings.
In the spirit of new years resolutions (what? a ROM needs to go to the gym once in a while too). These apps can safely be removed if you don't use them (it's from a script that I run after every new CM7 install on my MT.

thanks a lot for this info. but now question is how to run this. and what am i supposed to save this file as. *.sh ??
and how to call this script from updater-script file ?
do you know what are we supposed to enter/ syntax for renaming a file if we dont want to overite it(regarding updater-script)
say i want to change calculator.apk but keep the original in place as *.apk.old

I save it as /sdcard/os/c.sh (I don't think the suffix is important, it can help you remember it's a sh script). Not sure about updater-script, I don't use that. Then every time after new version of ROM installed, just run:
su
sh /sdcard/os/c.sh
If you want to copy an old copy, just insert something like:
cp /system/bin/blah.apk /system/bin/blah_apk.bak
rm /system/bin/blah.apk

K.A.T - Kat Android Toolbox - Android Unleasher
Android App | Audio Enhancer | Alsa Mixer | NTFS full write support | Media Scanner filters | HDMI audio fix | sound fix | GPS quickFix
(Some of the features requires root)
Hi everyone
K.A.T is now an android application that will do the work for you instead of the different flashable zips from before
KatKernel is available in a separate zip as to not get the application too big.
Through the years, and with the other tablets and roms I've played with, it seems to always end up with a bunch of scripts and enhancements, so the app that will try to make that more practical, and make your life easier
Main difference compared to the chinese tablets I played with before the TF101, is that we have sources for most components, so hopefully the fixes can be integrated directly into the roms for most.
Latest K.A.T version (MarshMallow) : K.A.T_V2.2.0.apk
Latest K.A.T version (Lollipop) : K.A.T_V2.1.0.apk
Latest K.A.T version (KitKat and earlier) : K.A.T_V1.5.3.apk
ChangeLog:
2.1.0
2.0.1
1.5.3
1.5.2 | 1.5.1 | 1.5.0 | 1.4.2 | 1.4.1 | 1.4.0 - 1.3.2 - 1.3.1 - 1.2.7 - 1.2.5 - 1.2.4 - 1.2.3 - 1.2.2 - 1.2.0 - 1.1.7 - 1.1.6 - 1.1.4 - 1.1.3 - 1.1.2
It includes:
* KatAudio:
- ability to control individually the volume mixers of the WM8903 chip (more controls will be added later)
- predefined optimized profiles that can be applied at boot and run time (custom user profiles will be available later on)
- Pre Amp Boost
- Speaker front boots( DAC L+R merge)
- Abitility to link Speakers and Headphone analog volume with the volume keys and cascade analog with android digital level.
(Only use the volume keys to control the volume in that case, do not use the digital android volume or another app)
- reinit FM34 DSP feature (in case you prefer not to install the "crap sound / mic fix", you can still reinit the dsp that way)
* Install section allows you to install the different patches/features and fixes
- HDMI & crap audio after Mic Fix (rom dependant)
- K.A.T MediaScanner Service (allows you to define filters and such at run time, see below)
- Ad-blocker (host file replacement)
- GPS quickerFix + assistance
* Media
- Allows you to configure the KAT MediaScanner filters (whitelist, blacklist, alwaysadd directories, disable scan completely)
* Storage
- Allows you to mount / unmount drives (with full write NTFS support too)
KatKernel : See dedicated thread
See post #2 for more details.
Disclaimer: The usual
Use at your own risk, I won't be responsible for any damages caused to your Transformer or to yourself.
In most cases if something breaks, flashing a rom on top should fix it.
Please don't repackage or redistribute K.A.T in another thread, as it'll just make it very difficult for me to maintain and understand user feedback if your repackaged version is broken, has too many differences or is outdated.
Also feel free to mention that you've reused some of the K.A.T enhancements but don't call it K.A.T, as if you do that will just generate confusion in user's mind as to where and what is K.A.T.
Thanks

Features
- K.A.T*.apk Android application: *NEW*
It contains most of the different features:
* KatAudio:
- ability to control individually the volume mixers of the WM8903 chip (more controls will be added later)
- predefined optimized profiles that can be applied at boot and run time (custom user profiles will be available later on)
- Pre Amp Boost
4 modes: 0 (no boost) , 1 (+6dB boost), 2 (+12dB boost), 3 (+18dB boost)
That will allow you to boost the level before sending it to the audio chip amplifier
This is to use mostly for apps/medias that have a low input level for example some of the streaming apps like Netflix with which that new option does wonders
Keep in mind that if your media already has a normal audio level you will saturate the amp input and generate clipping / bad quality.
- Speaker front boost( DAC L+R merge)
- Cascade: Abitility to link Speakers and Headphone analog volume with the volume keys and cascade analog with android digital level.
This will give you the best quality results.
When you increase the volume it will first increase the digital android volume, then increase the real chip analog volume as you keep pushing up once the digital volume has reached the maximum.
When you hit the volume down button, it will first decrease the analog chip volume, while keep the digital volume at max.Then once it has reached a low analog level it'll decrease the digital slider as you keep pushing.
If you prefer not to have that behavior and set the volumes separately, just uncheck the cascade option.
- reinit FM34 DSP feature (in case you prefer not to install the "crap sound / mic fix", you can still reinit the dsp that way)
* Install section allows you to install the different patches/features and fixes
- HDMI & crap audio after Mic Fix + Mic level increase (might require a reboot, if you've been using the audio before installing the fix)
- K.A.T MediaScanner Service (allows you to define filters and such at run time, see below)
- wpa_supplicant for adhoc (wip) Currently will allow you to see the networks, but will most likely time-out when trying to connect (requires you to turn wifi off /on to be seen)
- Ad-blocker (host file replacement)
* Storage
Allows you to mount / unmount drives:
- Mount(Auto): will try to mount vfat, ext4 and ntfs with what the kernel support (ie if the kernel only supports ReadOnly NTFS, the drives will end up being mounted ro)
- Mount(NTFS with full write support) : this one will try to mount the drive directly with full read-write support through ntfs-3g compiled and included with the app.
- Unmount: does what it says if the drive is busy or used by an application, it'll usually fail.
In that case and if you know what you're doing you can try to check the force box, it might be able to force unmount.
* Media
Allows you to configure the KAT MediaScanner filters
Always been annoyed by the MediaScanner eating 50% of the cpu and doing intensive IO, bringing your tablet to its knees ?
Well this enhancement is for you, it'll allow you to black/white list and force specified directories scanning, or disable scanning completely.
The way the default JB MediaScanner works is that everytime the tablet starts, that you mount / unmount a storage, or that the tablet wakes up,
the MediaScannerService receives an order to scan.. *everything* on all mounted medias *again*:
/storage/sdcard0, /Removable/MicroSD, /Removable/USBdisk1, /Removable/USBdisk2, /Removable/SD
That's where the K.A.T MediaScanner comes to the rescue.
With it you can rewrite / filter the scan orders.
- Whitelist:
Everything added in it will continue and be scanned if the order is received.
If you work in whitelist most, you should add at least /system/media to it, unless you don't want the system to find these. (default audio notifications and such)
- Blacklist
Everything in this list will be discarded from the scan order received.
- Always add directories
The directories in this list, will be always appended to the scan order.
- Scan checkbox: if unchecked all orders are cancelled
You can choose to still let the "always add directories" list pass or not with the additional check box
One thing to understand: the MediaScannerService is in charge of "top level" recursive scan orders.
Meaning that it receives the order to scan /Removable/MicroSD for example.
(It can also receive individual scan orders for files if an application forces it, but that's not how android is doing it for you general "media files")
So it is these "orders" that the filters can intercept and what the white/black list are matching against.
You won't be able to match onto individual files.
Also keep in mind it takes time for the scanner to update its DB.
Until it's done you might still see medias that you've filtered out, or might not see new medias you're trying to force scanning.
If you currently have a big media DB, the cleanest and faster way to do it, is to configure the filters you want, wipe MediaStorage data, then reboot.
- Voodoo Sound enabled kernels: See Voodoo Sound dedicated thread
(do not use if you want to use KatAudio as the voodoo sound app will change the values, and both apps will fight for volume keys and levels)

I've not posted the sources yet, was waiting for reports which look good so far.
Also still working on it as the "mic bug" or a fix might be doable in there too.
As for realtime routing, I think ICS was pausing the media first when you were unplugging ?
I'll test that in the next version, that way we shouldn't have to restart the player when unplugging
Looking at the current code, it seems that they kinda simplified the routing, it should be able to do a seamless routing in real time, but I think that would require to have more than one port open at a time, so that would need more changes.
If the media pausing works I think I'll leave it at that.
HDMI Fix V02 posted.

With that version you don't need to stop the player when unplugging / plugging HDMI

KatKiss ROM - Asus TF101
KitKat 4.4.4MultiWindow + Floating & Resizable Windows
This rom is an aosp based rom with my own additions on top.
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/responsiveness,
while not adding bloated features that will slow things down
DOWNLOADS:
Latest Dev Version:KatKiss-4.4.4_036.zip | Mirror1 | Mirror2
Latest Stable Version: KatKiss-4.4.4_036.zip
Latest NonLinaro Version: KatKiss-4.4.4_036-NonLinaro.zip (Slower but higher compatibility with some apps & games ...)
SL101 AddOn Compatibility Pack: KatKiss-4.4.4-sl101-compat-V7.zip | Older Versions (to flash after the rom & after rebooting once into the rom)
To get both Hardware & Software keyboard, deactivate asusec in settings.
TF101G AddOn Kernel: KatKiss-4.4_AddOn_TF101G_Kernel_01.zip (default rom kernel tends to reboot with TF101G this one is not as fast but more stable)
You then need to use PPPWidget for 3G connection.
Right Click Behavior Change: 4.4.3_RightClick.zip (default rom behavior is to send the back command, if you want it to send right click, flash this)
FSYNC: fsync_on.zip (fsync is off by default in the rom, if you want it on just flash this after the rom)
fsync off will make i/o run faster, but in case your tablet reboots or shutdown unexpectedly you might lose data more often than with fsync on.
So if your tablet tends to be unstable /reboots, if you overclock too much or that you tend to let it run out of battery, you might be better to turn fsync back on
Latest Gapps Package: gapps-KatKiss-4.4.4_20140913.zip | Mirror1
Google Home Launcher (optional): gapps-GoogleLauncher_20140110.zip
Please note that this version is made for and tested on the TF101 model.
As to not clutter the thread, no support will be given here for other devices

Additional info & links
Youtube
Latest youtube will work ok with res < 720p.
720p might work if autoselected directly, but will most likely fail / stutter.
Using an older version of Youtube like 5.0.21 fixes these issues.
Flash & HTML5 Video
Flash is not supported by default on KitKat, you can still use it with Dolphin Dolphin Browser:
Install Dolphin Browser, install or activate Dolphin JetPack in settings, install the latest flash plugin.
HTML5 video will only play full screen in the default browser & other browsers using the default webview.
If Chrome crashes on playing the video, try the beta or another older version(29.x)
Skype Calling
Version 5.x broke calling support.
If you need calls, you have to use an older version like 4.9.0.45564

Plant vs Zombies - Black Screen
Game issue seems to be related to different roms / devices with 1280x800 resolution.
Workaround to avoid the black screen after launch:
- install NOMone Resolution changer
- change resolution to 1280x768 160 dpi
- click apply
- launch game
After playing, restore resolution .
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 (system rendering is not good with the asus graphic hal) and also freeing resources
That's the recommended setting you want to use if you are using a launcher that has internal wallpaper rendering
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
same if you want wallpaper to display on the lock screen.
3rd setting disables wallpaper completely, depending on your launcher it might be better.
Global Key Override/Shorcut Mecanism
Available in Settings => Language & Input => Add Key Override Actions
or in Dock Settings
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.
Wifi channels:
Choose which channels are available based on your country in Settings => Wifi => Advanced => Change wifi regulatory domain
Google search:
If the version you're using is crashing when you open Google Now,
go to Settings => Language & Input => Voice Search
then uncheck Hotword Detection.
CIFS & 3rd party Mount Apps:
The Rom/Kernel have native support for them as long as you mount it outside or /storage/ and /mnt/shell/emulated/
GPS:
if it is taking a long time to get a lock or no lock, follow this:
Install the latest K.A.T app
Then follow precisely this procedure:
1) Location Settings
- Go to Settings => Location => turn OFF (top right switch)
- Turn it back ON
- Make sure you agree to let google access the location.
- Make sure the current selected mode is High accuracy
2) Launch the new K.A.T app
- make sure you grant it root access
- make sure you have internet access
- go to the install menu, Check the "Install GPS quicker fix + Assistance
- Click the Install button
- Make sure it says "Install Finished"
3) Reboot
4) Wait that it has finished booting and launching all the stuff you have starting at boot
5) Start your GPS app outside with a clear sky line, to speed things up stay in range of the wifi / internet connection.
Do not let the gps app loose focus when it is trying to get a fix.
Do not let your tablet sleep / turn off the screen either.
Doing that here, the first time and with a cold gps start, and even staying in my house,
I get a 6 sat fix within 30 seconds and 11 sat fix in 1min 15seconds.
From there subsequent fixes takes about 3 seconds to grab 7 sats and about 10 seconds to reach the 10-11 sat fix
(you still want to let it sit outside for a bit after the 1st fix, so that the ephemeris data gets consolidated and updated to help faster fix later on)
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
Window Animation Scale & Immersive mode:
If you want to be able to drop down from the top to display the status bar while in immersive mode,
the Window Animation Scale must be different than zero.
ART:
ART is not supported for the moment, if ever you tried it, to go back to a working state you can either:
- remove the file /data/property/persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib + clean cache & dalvik-cache & reboot in your recovery
- or do a full wipe
Storage (fstrim) and Database optimization:
Fstrim is native in 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/optimize
Be warned that the optimize storage can take from a few minutes to hours.
But the speed / lag will be greatly improved afterward
Slow downs & Battery drain after a full wipe ? :
Things to keep in mind after flashing with a full wipe:
- Media scanner will need to scan everything again, it can take from a few minutes to hours or days if you have a lot of medias or medias that it doesn't like.
During that process it'll use a lot of cpu and disk, and so can make things lag a bit and drain the battery until it's done.
You can use the Media Scanner filters to speed things up and make it scan only parts that are really containing your medias
- After a wipe, it wipes your battery stats, if you don't flash while you are with a 100% full battery, the battery stats will be inaccurate for a while until it learns again your battery capacity.
The battery can appear to drain faster because it doesn't know where your 100% is.
(see here for tips on how to speed up the learning process)
- Check that you don't have a rogue process eating cpu in the background. (run the top command)
- Check that you don't have a process keeping your tablet awake
Disabling ext4 journaling : :
This procedure will increase speed and responsiveness of the internal memory by disabling journaling
Disabling journaling will give a big speed/responsiveness increase especially on /data where writing occurs
but the risk of corruption in case of crashes, reboots, running out of battery... is also higher.
Make sure you have a backup handy and you understand what you are doing !
If you prefer to play it safe you can use the 2nd disabling zip, which will only disable on /system and /cache which don't contain user data
Corruption is unlikely to occur on /system as it's read only, and /cache is just volatile non user data, so you can simply just format it from recovery if ever something wrong happens.
To disable journaling on /system /cache /data download: dis_journaling.zip
To disable journaling only on /system and /cache : dis_journaling_system_cache_only.zip
To enable journaling back download: ena_journaling.zip
0) Put the zip on your microsd card
1) Boot into recovery
2) unmount everything but the microsd card (that means /system, /cache /data ... )
(the script will also try to unmount these, but better be safe in case the script doesn't succeeds)
3) flash zip
4) reboot
Note: Disabling journaling should only take a few seconds unless your filesystem is already dirty (fsck will take place before and after the journaling change)
Enabling journaling can take longer, especially on /data (mmcblk0p7)
Just be patient.
To disable journaling you will need to reflash the zip after you format /cache /data or /system (that means after installing the rom or after wiping cache if you do that after installing the rom)
Storage inversion(inverts microSD and internal storage) : :
This procedure will allow you to use your MicroSD as the internal /data partition (which means /data, /sdcard, /data/media ...)
So you can now have whatever extra space for "Android internal storage" you like (ie what your physical microSD size is)
And your old internal storage will be used as /storage/sdcard1/
Not that I care much about the extra space myself, but the good thing is that if you use a good MicroSD, things will also be much faster,
and for example it doesn't lag anymore when installing apps and such.
Make sure you understand what it means and what you are doing.
And backup everything first of course !
As reference:
Physical Internal partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
Physical MicroSD partition is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
These won't change, only the mount points are changing.
The commands can be typed directly from twrp command line thingie, or you can run them through adb
(just add adb shell in front of the command in that case)
One thing to note is that the standard recoveries don't know at all that your mount points are swapped, so it will still show them to you the "old non swapped way"
It won't know how to make a factory reset while retaining your data for example.
Sidneyk has made a specific TWRP version that will support inverted storage, make sure to use that one after you've inverted the storage if you want to wipe from recovery
(if you use it for this procedure, then adjust the commands accordingly)
The commands below are for the non inverted recovery.
1) Boot into TWRP (I use v2.3.2.3, it might differ if using another version)
2) WIPE MicroSD content (that means it will be empty afterwards)
unmount your microsd
Code:
/sbin/make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
If you still need to transfer your data from the internal storage you can go to step 4) then come back later to do step 3) only
3) If you have transferred your data from your internal storage, you can format it too:
unmount /data and /sdcard
Code:
/sbin/make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
remount /data
then
4)
Code:
/sbin/chmod -R 777 /data
5) Flash the KatKernel (JB4.4) for the rom marked with _invertstorage
6) Reboot.
Unless you transferred your old /data into your physical new microsd partition, it'll be like if you did a factory reset,
so you will just need to go through the setup again.
And of course, From now on your microsd must be inserted before booting up the system, and NEVER remove your microsd card while the system is running.
Enjoy the extra space & speed
MultiWindow + Floating & Resizable Windows
Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2 vertically (while in landscape) or horizontally, you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running.
Floating & Resizable window mode allows you to freely position the window and resize as many of them as you like.
(memory will be the limit though)
MultiWindow
NavBar:
- To switch between full screen and split View you can use the
NavBar Button
(It will lay apps alternatively in one SplitView spot then the other.)
- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the
NavBar Button
Recents:
- Clicking on the app Thumbnail works as before and displays the app fullscreen
- Clicking on the app icon or the
icon will switch the app to splitview and lay it in "automode"
(If you use automode when an application was set in a SplitView slot it'll be recalled to that previous spot.)
- Clicking on the other icons will force the app to the 1st or 2nd SplitView slot.
Actions
Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview, switch between the 2 most recent apps and to force the splitview slot have been added
so you can bind them to a key / key combination with the Global KeyOverride or long press action too.
Note: Most apps works ok in splitview mode, but some of them might not refresh correctly sometime.
Same when rotating the screen while in splitview mode.
To force a refresh simply tap the app or if you have 2 apps in split, just click twice on the switch to last app button:
Floating & Resizable Window
.
One Difference with the MultiWindow mode is that an app has to be relaunched to switch between Floating and non floating mode
(you can however maximize the app through the button to get it full screen and click on the minimize button to get it back to floating mode)
Also note that all apps might not behave correctly while put in floating mode, it kinda depends on the app.
To relaunch the Top Running application between floating and non floating mode, click on the new NavBar Button:
Long pressing on the button will show/hide all apps currently running into floating mode. (makes it easy to bring them back and forth as needed)
Global Actions have also been added so you can bind these 2 actions on other long pressing or Dock/Keyboard Key override in Settings
With these icons you can maximize the floating app to full screen , minimize it back to floating mode, and close it.
Using the menu button in the top left corner of the app, you can dock the app half size to the top,bottom,left,right side.
To move the app drag the top bar around, it will auto dock to the sides when you drop it close to them.
To resize an app freely, use 2 fingers pinch (like when you are zooming / unzooming) If the app is docked to the side, you need to undock it first by moving it away from the side.
To switch between apps you can also go through the recents screen, use alt right+tab, or the switch to previous app button.
Clicking on the app icon in the launcher will bring it foreground too. (same if you associated a run application shortcut to the keyboard for example)

I'm currently facing a build setup issue with art I think, same with Bluetooth.
I already had that issue in 4.3 with bluetooth, that's why I got ShevT Bluetooth build in KK4.3
which uses the exact same code, so I know it's not the code itself that is the issue, but mostly my build environment for some reason.
and it might actually haave been the same kind of issue that got Office suite pro to crash in libskia in 4.3.
In KatKiss 4.4, my build setup generates a working libskia with Office suit pro at least,
so all those who have been wanting to use Office suit pro, you can in KatKissKitKat
But I'm still facing the same issue with Bluetooth, and with art it seems to be allergic to something in my build setup that gets it to crash for some reason.
I might have to try to install a new build setup or once I clean/ push things to github, see if ShevT's KatKiss build generates a functionnal art & bluetooth.
I'm pretty sure it will, as I've changed nothing in art source code, it's the pure aosp source.
I could also most likely use art & bt binaries from another rom as a workaround in the meantime too, as I KatKiss doesn't really require any modifications from those.

Happy New Year Tim and thanks for the KitKat version of your famous KatKiss rom.
It is running very smooth and responsive on my TF101 B60. Everything I am actually using is working fine.
The only issue I recognised so far is the ability to boot into recovery. This doesn't work neither from the power menu option nor from e.g. Goo.im entry. The tablet always just reboots normally. Only working alternative was shutting it down and use the power and volume button.
Great work Tim and thanks for keeping our TF101 still alive! :good:

Yep it's already faster than 4.3 imho , which is good as I've not even put back all the optimization flags & linaro.
I'm currently facing a build setup issue with art I think, same with Bluetooth.
I already had that issue in 4.3 with bluetooth, that's why I got ShevT Bluetooth build in KK4.3
which uses the exact same code, so I know it's not the code itself that is the issue, but mostly my build environment for some reason.
and it might actually haave been the same kind of issue that got Office suite pro to crash in libskia in 4.3.
In KatKiss 4.4, my build setup generates a working libskia with Office suit pro at least,
so all those who have been wanting to use Office suit pro, you can in KatKissKitKat
But I'm still facing the same issue with Bluetooth, and with art it seems to be allergic to something in my build setup that gets it to crash for some reason.
I might have to try to install a new build setup or once I clean/ push things to github, see if ShevT's KatKiss build generates a functionnal art & bluetooth.
I'm pretty sure it will, as I've changed nothing in art source code, it's the pure aosp source.
I could also most likely use art & bt binaries from another rom as a workaround in the meantime too, as I KatKiss doesn't really require any modifications from those.

I've got OmniROM builds going on, as you probably already knew, and until yesterday when I brought in a cherry-pick to fix screen shots, I had made no changes to the base source code for 4.4.2. Only changes were in the device tree with mainly certain build flags in BoardConfig.mk (?) and a modified kernel config using your kernel source tree. I have nowhere near your experience or expertise with the coding side which is why I've tried to avoid changing anything there if I didn't have to. But, with my current setup, art seems to function very well, once enabled. I'm not noticing any reboots, crashes or otherwise that I wasn't seeing in the Dalvik mode, and maybe less, with a seemingly better performance (at least felt like it). That's not to say that everything else is working perfectly, just that art seems to work pretty well in OmniROM. Just sharing this to help you in your troubleshooting, not trying to hijack your thread. Good luck because I know you can do some magic for this machine.

KatKiss ROM - Asus TF101
Lollipop 5.1.1 Release 24
Please note that this version is made 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/responsiveness,
while not adding bloated features that will slow things down

Tips
First Install
Make sure you do a full wipe the first time you install the rom
If you get error code 9XX when installing an app in the PlayStore, make sure that you format /data
(wipe doesn't format)
The first boot after a rom flash is slower than with 4.4.4 and 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 ~2-3 minutes without gapps and 5+ 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.
VPN
VPN works only with lollipop updated "low level" third party apps like VPNRoot for example.
Youtube
Latest youtube will work ok with res < 720p.
720p might work if autoselected directly, but will most likely fail / stutter.
Using an older version of Youtube fixes these issues.
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.
GPS:
if it is taking a long time to get a lock or no lock, follow this:
Install the latest K.A.T app
Then follow precisely this procedure:
1) Location Settings
- Go to Settings => Location => turn OFF (top right switch)
- Turn it back ON
- Make sure you agree to let google access the location.
- Make sure the current selected mode is High accuracy
2) Launch the new K.A.T app
- make sure you grant it root access
- make sure you have internet access
- go to the install menu, Check the "Install GPS quicker fix + Assistance
- Click the Install button
- Make sure it says "Install Finished"
3) Reboot
4) Wait that it has finished booting and launching all the stuff you have starting at boot
5) Start your GPS app outside with a clear sky line, to speed things up stay in range of the wifi / internet connection.
Do not let the gps app loose focus when it is trying to get a fix.
Do not let your tablet sleep / turn off the screen either.
Doing that here, the first time and with a cold gps start, and even staying in my house,
I get a 6 sat fix within 30 seconds and 11 sat fix in 1min 15seconds.
From there subsequent fixes takes about 3 seconds to grab 7 sats and about 10 seconds to reach the 10-11 sat fix
(you still want to let it sit outside for a bit after the 1st fix, so that the ephemeris data gets consolidated and updated to help faster fix later on)
Flash & HTML5 Video
Flash is not supported by default on Lollipop, you can still use it with Dolphin Dolphin Browser:
Install Dolphin Browser, install or activate Dolphin JetPack in settings, install the latest flash plugin.
Sites are migrating slowly to HTML5 video use the default browser & other webkit based browsers for HTML5 video support
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/optimize
MultiWindow
Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2 vertically (while in landscape) or horizontally, you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running.
MultiWindow
NavBar:
- To switch between full screen and split View you can use the
NavBar Button
(It will lay apps alternatively in one SplitView spot then the other.)
- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the
NavBar 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, switch between the 2 most recent apps and to force the splitview slot 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 not refresh correctly sometime.
Same when rotating the screen while in splitview mode.
To force a refresh simply tap the app or if you have 2 apps in split, just click twice on the switch to last app button:
to force it to relayout

Was waiting for this thread for a pretty long time. And now when it is up I am really looking forward to trying the lollipop. Thanks a bunch for keeping our devices up to date.
Thanks so much to keep our beloved clunker alive.
Dreams come true ^^
Long life the tf101 and timduru

The MD5 checksum is correct and flashing process fails with those error messages.
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

Does someone have a solution for this problem?
Fixed: TWRP Update from 2.3.2.3 to 2.8.1.1.
Amazing I hope it will be possible to make all the hardware stuff work...
Awesome. Ill still wait a bit or is there anything I can do to help? Think there are enough open points yet without user experiences, no?

Call me blue eyed but Im sure Android 5 will run better on The TF devices then on Googles Nexus in a few days.... If not in The TF101, then at least in the TF300. Tim will do. ))

Came to work, monday blues saw this thread yahoo!
Update :-
I did Factory Reset and /system even though I am already on latest KatKiss 4.4 (time to do some cleaning up its been a while)
Flashed #008 and gapps.
First boot takes a bit of time.
Issues :-
1) Always getting the "The SU Binary needs to be updated". I have updated a couple of times via SuperSU but still the same.
2) Keep on prompting "Unfortunately Google Search has stopped".
Holy crap....lollipop really Tim......
Seriously?
Wow, there is really something wrong with you, timduru.. Lollipop for the old TF101? if you weren't developing for this device, I wouldn't know what to do with it.. Since KatKiss ICS your builds have been such a joy for my heart and my Transformer! Keep it up and many thanks!

I had the same thing with 4.4.4 last week. After 2 or 3 updates, it seems fixed.
The binary was updating every time I had an update on play store.
