The ultimate solution for assigning an action or application to the Bixby button
I found a trick to assign the Bixby button to an action, application and more... Support a single click, double-click and hold (also works the screen off)
Here are the functions you can assign to the Bixby button
Navigates: back, home, recent apps...
Controls: sleep/wake up, show power menu, shutdown, reboot, expand notifications panel...
Rotation control.
Media controls: play/pause, next, previous, stop...
Fast scroll: scroll to top/ bottom.
Edit: copy, paste...
Universal copy, one tap copy text every where.
Settings: auto brightness, rotation, wifi, mobile data...
Start app/shortcut/activity, finish activity, previous app/next app, kill app...
Freezer: freeze/thraw app.
Input gesture, key event, text...
Shortcut panel, app drawer, freezer drawer, side bar...
Floating widget.
Swipe adjust: swipe on the edge to adjust brightness, screen filter, volume...
Gesture pointer, extends your finger.
Notification, speech, toast.
Screen filter, torch.
Conditional: if screen on, keyguard on, wifi connected/disconnected, battery level, time period, wifi connected to, app focused...
Multi action, saved multi action.

Step 1
Remap Bixby Button
As in the article :
1. Go with any root Explorer (I'm using Solid Explorer) to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Rename the Generic.kl to Generic.txt
3. Open this file with an text editor
4. Search for 703 to get following entry: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WINK
5. Change it to whatever you want. I simply tried following: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 ASSIST
6. Rename it back to Generic.kl (otherwise you won't be able to press any hardware button after reboot)
7. Check permissions
8. Restart your device
For now, Bixby is used Google Assitant with item display on the screen
Other order :

Step 3
Customize the Bixby Button
This module provides you Gesture control, Key control and other smart triggers. to trigger actions you want.
Next, download "Xposed edge" or "Xposed edge pro" from the Play Store and activate the "Xposed edge" module in "Xposed Installer" and then restart the phone.
1. Launch the Xposed Edge module and activate "Keys" and access it
2. Press Add and click on the Bixby button
3. Activate the newly assigned Bixby button (KEYCODE_ASSIST)
4. And with the arrow on the side assign an action for a single click, double-click and hold down
Do not forget to activate key control and the button assign
And now it will work
Bonus

I completed the article hoping to have answered the question
All this instead of just using bxactions which does the same thing?
You've blatantly copied and pasted stuff from other threads here, give credit where it is due please.
Be aware xposed at this stage is unofficial, experimental and unstable.
This can all be achieved minus double tap with other methods (need root to edit kl file tho). Don't steal people's hard work and effort and pretend it's yours, link to their threads.

Quite simply because xposed edge offers much more possibility of personalizing the Bixby button

Apparently, you did not read the entire guide because, at the end of each step, I put the source. So after putting the source, I did not believe it was my job. Everything I did as described above in the guide, I made a guide of all I did to be able to customize the Bixby button.
And to test other methods like Bxactions, I can tell you that there is much more possiblity of personalization with this method.
But for the Xposed case you're completely right I'll presume it still unstable.
I would add a second time the source as the end of the guide this time. So that one can see it well and that one does not say that I have spent the work of the others for mine.

Cheers, didn't see that. I'm going to install xposed again at some point and test this method out myself, you're right in tasker does have a bit of overhang and chews up resources, and can have a short delay depending on your multitasking habits etc. Most likely won't use this as a method until systemless xposed is more stable or rovo releases an offical n version.

Hey all,
Really hoping someone has a solution,
last night i manually updated the Generic.kl file via the text editor, after changing the value from WINK to VOICE_ASSIST i've lost all manual buttons?
-Have tried:
Changing it back, Duhh.. - Did not work.
Copying a fresh copy of someones elses "Generic" file. (thought i may have accidentally changed an additional value)
Factory reset.
Have now reflashed my rom.
Any other idea's? For the life of me i cant work out how to get my buttons back..

When you have finished modifying generic.kl, you have to check that in the properties of the file the attributes are "rw-r--r--" otherwise you modify them. And you reopen the file to be sure that it is still readable. It can happen that according to the text editor use, the file genreric.kl is re-coded differently after the modification.
(Personally I use Solid Explorer to realize all his)
If not simpler here is the file genric.kl modified so that you can replace it directly but you will only have to check your attributes once the file replace.

Another safer solution is to flash this zip file and there will be nothing to check.

I'm in the same boat as the other guy, I have done as you said and tried both ways you suggested but still my buttons don't work
---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------
I finally fixed it. All I had to do was basically redo everything g from the beginning only correctly this time. I was so worried about my buttons not working that I gave up on the bixby key alone and was just trying to get it back to normal that I didn't even thing to just start from scratch as if it was still working . If that makes sense. I feel like I'm not making sense tho .

Code:
102, // home button
114, // Volume down
115, // Volume up
116, // Power
139, // Menu

212, // CAMERA
242 // FOCUS
Attached is a little helper app (KeynrTracker.apk) to identify the keynumber you want to remap .
Faq
Q: can you do also other remappings with the buttons, like for example long pressing, double press, context sensitive remappings etc.
A: For now, this is pretty much it. Check out LaunchKey if you also want to remap the long-press search button.
Q: So this is it?
A: I do plan to add some more functionality and to update the interface, but when that will be I can't tell.

If you like the app and/or wish to support this project consider buying the donation version from the market (Search term: ButtonRemapper). Don't feel obliged though!
So on a nexus 1, this will only remap the power, volume rockers and possibly trackball? Will it work for the capacitive buttons?

Absolutely. It will remap all buttons. I added a list of functions that can be remapped. (Also hardware keyboards can be remapped with this app... )
I plan to integrate this with the LaunchKey app in the future, so it would be possible to assign also apps etc to buttons.
I'll be giving it a shot shortly, then. Thanks, AF!

Thanks.
As always your critical feedback is very much appreciated.
What's "Grave" ? And there's 2 search entries and 3 menu entries. A little confusing. Are these for long press, double tap, etc. or are those for possible layouts across devices? How does one get to the "Apply" screen pictured? Will play around some more.

Well, I don't know
At the moment this app is just a tool to play around with the low level key layout mapping files Android uses for mapping the keys. It's sort of a power user tool.
In the future I'll need this layer to make a user friendly key remap tool that can do some low level remapping. Then I will hide much of the definitions that can be tweaked with this app.
Some background info about the key layout mapping files:
http://source.android.com/porting/keymaps_keyboard_input.html
Looks good..Will give it a shot soon..
SWEET, im wondering if it will eventually be possible to use search button on evo to actually take pics(not just open the camera)
Just what I needed. Thanks a lot appelflap.
Would be nice to have the "call" and "end call" function on 1 button (because the only button I do not use on my DHD is the search button..) Don't know if that is possible tho..
Thanks again!
Edit: I'll donate on the final version for sure.

It's possible to add a "focus" mapping. Haven't tested that one out yet. Maybe it will focus and take a picture in one step. I will add the function so one can test that out.

Assigning CAMERA to a button will open the camera, but it will act as a shutter too if you have the camera open! So yes it is possible to use the search button to take pics
Great job with this app.
I would love to see some remaps
For apps. I want search button to open contacts.
Let me know if you want any help.

You can download catlog from the market, open it, open the buttonremapper app, wait till it Force closes and than go back to catlog and choose "send log" in the menu (->more) . You can send it to the email address in the about window of the app.
Would be great and very helpfull if you can do that. Thanks

Add flag for SUPER.DUPER.WIPE:
with permission from @waydownsouth, I modified his AIO ("All In One") script from mexdroid rom and incorporated SUPER.DUPER.WIPE into OFFICIAL MIUI.us ROM..
The flag for SUPER DARKSIDE WIPE:
-wipe
-cam
What SUPER DARKSIDE WIPE flag does:
-wipe = A full wipe that is much more through and is HIGHLY suggested over any wipe options in recovery menu. It will also format partitions to EXT4 (NOTE: THIS WILL DELETE ALL USER DATA! DOESN'T TOUCH SD CARD!)
-cam = This will install the latest CM7 Camera app and remove the MIUI Camera from the rom.
If no -wipe flag is added to the end of file name it will not wipe...
Adding flags to the file name:
If default file name is:
Code:
[B]MIUI.us_glacier_1.9.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_thederekjay.zip[/B]
To perform a SUPER.DUPER.WIPE by adding -wipe flag to end of file name:
Code:
[B]MIUI.us_glacier_1.9.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_thederekjay-wipe.zip[/B]
Get IT??? Its as simple as adding "-wipe" to the end of the file name. Must also contain no spaces or else it will not work!!
Instructions on flashing OFFICIAL MIUI.us w/ demonspeedMOD:
* FULL WIPE ALWAYS *
1. BACKUP ALL APPS with preferred method (ie: MIUI Back Up, Titanium, My Backup)
2. Download ROM*I HIGHLY suggest chaning file name on your comp and not in recovery if possible.. Could save you a headache!*3. Set flag for SUPER.DUPER.WIPE
4. Place ROM on ROOT of your SD card.
4. Boot into Recovery Mode
5. Do a NAND BACKUP!!!
6. Flash ROM.
7. After flashing is complete, Reboot...
8. Done!

Swype in all different flavors, Available [LINK DOWN] (9.18.2011) - Download and install as a normal app! Make sure that /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libswype.so (or libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so) is REMOVED from the device before installing or it will FC! (If coming from clean install you dont need to worry about this...) v3.23 OEM has everything working ie: vibrate on keypress, 3.25 I believe is lacing that feature...

one a second note everyone... COMING SOON! i hope
DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE...BE SURE TO BACKUP AS ALWAYS!
Install Instructions (i advise reading this entire post but please at least read the UPDATE sections)
1. Flash stock rom (this mod SHOULD work with any firmware...newest MF1 link below) using odin
2. Install CWM or TWRP recovery
3. Flash Deodexed zip (will need to re-root afterwards)
4. Edit your build prop by adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the very bottom (u may also want to change your dpi...134 is my preferred number)
5. Install xposed framework along with the TAB UI module and enable (see post #4)
6. Flash the V5 file below (u will need to manually delete the flashbarservice.apk if coming from V3) followed by forcecloseapps.zip (if neccessary)
Known Issues
1. minimized apps will randomy disappear
2. help button will force close systemui
3. navigation buttons are shifted slightly to the right in phablet (right handed users can consider this a "feature" :silly
After months of messing around i have FINALLY managed to figure out how to enable multi window on our devices...its not perfect but it works. First, in order to use this mod(as of right now anyway) u will need to be on a DEODEXED rom & need to find & flash your respective version below via recovery. After the rom reboots, go to "settings - display" and u should see "Multi window" with a check already next to it. Simply uncheck it then immediately recheck it and VOILA! u should see the multi window flashbar on the left side of your screen. Open it by touching the tab & u will notice a very limited number of apps already included and an "edit" button to add more but the problem is the list will be empty. There are 2 ways to fix this..the easiest would be to download "SAMSUNG MULTI WINDOW MANAGER" from the market and the other would be to install the XPOSED framework(my preferred way due to all the other options it provides) as well XPOSED muliti window apps manager module. Refer to post #4 for instructions on how to install & setup XPOSED...also attached are a few of my other favorite modules. Any apps that are already on the list or added with one of the mentioned methods when opened the regular way will have a restore/maximize icon(familiar for those of u who work with windows) located usually in the top right corner or bottom right corner(will provide example screenshots below). Clicking this icon will alternate u between windowed mode & full screen...i'm not quite sure if there is a limit on how many floating windows u can have simultaneously. If u prefer to just have 2 apps side by side or on top of each other(depends on orientation) then simply open then multi window bar & drag your first app to which ever position u would like(u will see the spot highlighted blue). Simply repeat for the opposite position and there u have it...working multi window mod. Of course there are a few issues but the benefits outweigh the problems in my book. First, not all apps were made with windowed mode in mind so some may not look right or function properly...with that said u MAY need to mess around with the dpi(will include the XPOSED module to do so for indiviual apps) or find replacements altogether though personally i havent had much trouble out of the 100+ i have on my phone. The minimize & dual pane resize functions do not work as of yet and this mod also will kill your mini apps bar when in tabletui but since almost any app can now be used in minimode it really doesn't matter. Let me end by asking that ANY dev/user who is willing to improve this mod by combing through the code feel free to contact me anytime...i'm a complete newb(as u can probably tell since this is my first thread) so i could use all the help i can get
UPDATE V3: Ok, so...here's a new version of the mod and although it contains no new features i did manage to fix a few things such as the lockscreen, notification icons, and dialer app(see instructions below). Since this update seems to be superior to V2 in every way, i will be removing the links and altering instructions in order to cut down on confusion. This time the mod will be PHABLET mode only(unless @chrisrotolo would be willing to modify the files for us) which means u will also lose the 4way reboot function but if u would still like to use tablet mode of course u can install XPOSED with the tabletui module(u should perform this step first which SHOULD eliminate the need to edit your build prop). For those of u who are coming from a clean install or the previous tabui4way version u MUST EDIT YOUR BUILD PROP(easiest way would probably be "build prop editor" in the play store) by adding the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" at the very bottom of the file BEFORE u flash the phablet file for your device...once u have edited & saved the file simply reboot into recovery & flash the V3 zip for your device then u should be good to go. For the others who are already using phabletui or XPOSED tablet module u SHOULD only need to flash the V3 version over your current mod...once again, i will need P6200 users to test & report their results. Please note that this mod MAY NOT be compatible with the touchwiz launcher which means u might need to install an alternative homescreen app from the market( i personally use "apex launcher" and completely uninstall touchwiz home)...i also would like to mention that some users have stated that a factory reset MAY be needed. As a small additional bonus...it seems that this update also enables/fixes the lockscreen ripple effect(thanks to @loolser for pointing that out)
DIALER FIX: If u would prefer the stock dialer to work or like me have just grown frustrated that clicking missed calls causes your tablet to freeze then this is the solution. First, u MUST install XPOSED framework along with the "app settings" module(see post 4 for details)...once u have installed & enabled the module then click on the "app settings" icon and click "contacts". At the top left u should see an on/off switch(green means on)...turn it on and set DPI to 176 and Screen (dp) to 800 x 1280 and then select save. You will be asked if u would like to kill the app simply select yes and then exit the app...click on dialer which should now be working although u may need to reboot and/or clear data in both "contacts" & "phone" in "settings - application manager"
A few more notes to add just in case u didn't know...the paid version of "samsung multi window manager" allows u to create shortcuts(both apps & bookmarks) directly on your home screen and open them automatically in windowed mode(u can also specify the default size for each windowed app as well). I just recently realized that if u simply click on the app in the multi window bar instead of dragging it out that will also open the apps directly in windowed mode and make them automatically cascade too. If u don't like the placement of the bar on the left side of the screen then simply click the tab to open the flashbar then touch and hold the tab again which allows u to drag it over to the right side. Oh yeah, just because u see the shiny new allshare cast button in your notification controls after u flash V3 does NOT mean u should push it...it will most likely freeze/reboot your tab(yeah, i had to find out the hard way...lol) but if only we could get that working, hmmmm
Black Bar: The white flashbar just didn't quite look right so i took a lil time to create a black translucent multi window bar with red arrows...hopefully u guys will like it as much as i do. All u have to do is overwrite the "flashbarservice.apk" located in "system - app" with the one attached below and be sure to set the proper permissions then reboot your tab...will add a few screenshots below so let me know if u like the new look!
4wayReboot: I missed the 4way Reboot option so i've created a zip that can be flashed over the top of our current V3 mod...I need a P6210 owner to test report as usual
UPDATE V5: I've actually had this new version finished for about 2 months but have been messing around trying to fix the minimize feature with no results...since this is an improvement over V4 due to a few bug fixes, the biggest of which being the force close in phablet mode, i will be removing the links to the previous version. There are really no new multiwindow related functions except multiinstance should now work (although not with all apps) and minimize is enabled by default (apps will still disappear randomly so its not much use)...i'm sure u guys will encounter some problems that i may not have discovered so please feel free to report your findings so we can iron out any issues. I will also link to a separate zip below which includes apps that are known to force close after the mod is flashed (almost all samsung stock apps) so most of u will need to flash it as well....please note that i MAY need to create a separate version for the P6210 so please test and let me know. There are actually a few new non multiwindow related extras if u flash the new version...ink effect is now enabled, the video player will now have live video previews for the thumbnails (if u flash the forcecloseapps.zip) and the best to me i the ability to swap out & rearrange the order of the quick panel toggles in the "settings/display" menu (u will notice other extra options since the file is from the note 8 but some obviously wont work such as the spen related functions)

dude this is epic. nice job. how long did this take you?
And to comply with rules, you should at least give some info how you did this. I would also suggest setting up a donate button, just in case.
I would encourage you to share with Tab 2 guys who are documenting changes @ github, also the 7.7 guys will be interested as well, maybe they will even tweak/fine tune your code.
Looks really nice. Thanks dude.
XPOSED framework
as i promised...here goes the xposed installer along with a few modules that will help u out. The multi window apps manager(the developer doesnt want the apk reposted so i instead provided a link to the original thread) will allow u to enable any app to work in floating/dual screen mode, the "app settings" module will let u set individual dpi settings for apps, & "tweakbox" has various options such as volume button music controls & call recording! I also have a play store fix module(useful if u change your dpi) if u may be having issues & a module to enable tablet mode without flashing...if anyone is interested i will upload upon request.

Thanks a lot mate, you saved me a lot of work.
Actually I had managed by myself to get the multi windows working, with the icon in the notification bar and the option to activate it in settings.
The only problem is that it didn't display well and I needed to mod some files to get it working, and I didn't have the time to do this.
And now you come with the full mod, yesssssss!
Thanks again, I download everything and I report layer.
By the way, I see that in your list of apps there is the latest xposer installer and the latest appsettings, where did you get them?
The villainrom website wasn't working these last weeks, does it mean that they are back?
Well i downloaded 2 version of p6210, @ mw mod +tab ui ive got freezes after 2 times i just backed to standard ui n installed mw mod there. Generally its working well, but 1st problem is i cant open 2 times same application (for example browser), next problem is buttons near miniaps wont work, are like dead.

@unclefab if u go to the xposed thread using the link i provided in the first post u should see the latest xposed & then there is a link to a temp page(i think villain is indeed still down) with a bunch of modules including app settings 0.4(although all of them aren't up to date)
@loolser I actually just edited one of my posts above to provide a link to the multiwindow apps manager module thread where the developer states that "not all apps can be run in multiple instances" & specifically lists browsers as NOT working but there is always a way so i'm sure someone will figure it out as far as the bottom buttons, as of right now those do not work so dont worry about them...actually part of the reason it took so long to get this mod working was because i was too focused on trying bring those dead buttons back to life.
You may have already done so, but if not you might try contacting the OPs on some of the multi-window ROMs on the Galaxy S3 development forum to get some pointers on how they implemented these features in their TW ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1672
amazing mod, congratulations. here in p6210 worked perfectly. Xposed installed module to put other applications on multiwindows
Regarding phone app, try logcat.
Yeah that would be a definte deal breaker
I did some testing and it works fine.
Regarding the problem with the mini apps I can't tell, I had removed that stuff from the first day.
All my apps open, including the browsers, but some behave a bit strangely. It has nothing to do with this mod, they have the same funny behavior on my galaxy grand that has multi windows out of the box.
The only thing is that the minimize button doesn't work, hopefully it will get fixed over time.
By the way, this mod works without the flash bar app so one can remove it if one wants (I did it and my tab didn't explode )
If someone has apps that don't open one can try to add them manually following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068796"
Yep, the villain web site is still down but I downloaded everything from your links, thanks for that.
Thank you again for this mod, that was the last thing I needed. I always thought that no multi windows ability was a big drawback, and I craved for it since the days of honeycomb
This plus Chris' tablet ui mod, it's like a dream...

yeah u should be able to remove both the "flashbarservice apk", "com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml", as well as "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml"(which simply supplies the selection in settings menu which u wont need without the flashbar) files without MUCH consequence...all of these can be found in 'SYSTEM - ETC - PERMISSIONS" The reason i chose to still include it is because the window resize function is broken and dragging from the bar allows the apps to be automatically sized to exactly half the screen(shown in the screenshot with the chess & maps app) which is what the dead buttons on the status bar SHOULD be doing *shrugs*
as another option, u can replace the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml" with "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml"(dont forget to change permissions) & it will add a multi window toggle to the notification panel BUT u will ONLY be able to use dual panel mode(with a small plus of having a button to make the apps switch sides) or in other words the flashbar will be the only way to get 2 apps on the screen because it will disable floating windows! i'm not sure why someone would ONLY want this functionality instead of the floating windows as well but i will attach the aformentioned file below anyway in case anyone is interested

OFF-TOPIC: But i DEFINTELY agree...my device is now almost perfect. The only thing really left to do now is mod my hdmi dock by adding a usb port to it so i can connect to the tv, watch movies from my external hd, AND charge the tab at the same time which is what samsung should have done from the start but thats another thread...anybody else thats interested in doing this can check out the topic in the accessories section linked below(thats actually one of the few things i would be willing to pay someone else to do for me though)

i actually JUST finished making a thread in the 7.7 general section looking for someone to provide me their android.policy.jar so i could make a zip for u guys. If u could upload yours that would be awesome...of course it must be 4.1.2 DEODEXED & preferably stock. The files came from the note 8 & all i did was add the multi window folder which is basically missing in every device without working multi window...the real magic(for us anyway) is HOW i figured that out which was to focus on the combination of the files from different versions rather than the code itself
So i was just informed that the official 4.1.2 update is not out yet but i did see the "erobot" rom which i'm assuming is a port but i guess that still could work
yup... just read the post you left... this is the android.policy.jar from e-robot... its actually base on Official stock JB for 6800... the 3g/wifi version... they still waiting thr wifi (6810) version JB release... but for 6800 was already being like a month...
erobot basically using the tw from 6200 for the phonetab ui. and some files from note 8 as well
THEDEVIOUS1, do you mind uploading your MC3 Deodexed ROM? A lot of people would probably use it. I can't seem to deodex mine. Thanks!

are u saying the buttons located at the bottom on the status bar are not working because if so thats a known issue. Did u go into settings & uncheck then immediately recheck the multi window selcetion under display(neccessary to get the dock to show up the first time)? What happens when u hit the maximize/restore icon in the top/lower right corner? Does the app float or does the icon even appear at all?
sorry...didnt see the picture u provided
i guess we should keep the 7.7 discussion in the proper forum before we get in trouble...lol

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
Inviato dal mio OnePlus One
fast and loud
what can i say, seems much faster on the wifi, and the volume is so loud i have to turn it down. Well done looking forward to #9
EDIT : Thank you for making our 'old' (but yet performer) immortal, I've no more words to describe your passion!

Flashing failed after factory reset.
The MD5 checksum is correct and flashing process fails with those error messages.
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdc/5.0.0/KatKiss-5.0_008.zip

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?

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.
Hey Guys & Girls!
I've figured I should make a new thread for this..
So how do I set up my device.

Firstly It's not necessary to be rooted but it helps - I always root my device to get that perfect feeling setup for me.
What will you need:
- Nova Launcher - I use Prime (Don't know if the regular version does all the things) I admit that I've brought the prime when it was discounted to 0.99€ - It usually is around the Christmas, if some of you maybe still don't own it.
You can get it RIGHT HERE: I set the things to my liking like row numbers, dock background, etc..
- Icon Pack (My favourite at the moment is Logicons)
Get it RIGHT HERE
- 5s ADB tools (Thanks to @Snoop05)
Get it RIGHT HERE
Some Patience, You can't get it RIGHT HERE :silly:
On the Phone
Ok, what I do next is go to the settings and click on the build number for about 7 or 8 times, so I enable the developer settings.
When the settings are enabled I connect the phone to the PC and in the developer settings I select USB Debugging. Now I unplug the phone and reconnect it again, so that way I get the prompt on my screen asking me If I trust this computer - Press YES.
Go to the PlayStore and download Nova Launcher, and your favourite Icon Pack..
On to the computer:
Ok now it's time to install the 5s Fastboot tools, just install it like a normal program.
When its done installing press and hold shift up and pres the RIGHT key on the mouse / trackpad, and then open the shell here
When it's open type adb devices if you get your phone recognised you are all set! If not check your phones screen for a prompt up asking if you trust this computer.
Now on to the fun part..
Depending on what do you want type in:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=* FOR NO STATUSBAR AND NO NAV BAR (Accessible via the swipe)
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=* NO STATUSBAR
(Accessible via the swipe)
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=* NO NAVIGATION BAR
(Accessible via the swipe)
adb shell settings put global policy_control null* REVERSE BACK
Congrats, you've just prevent the burn in.. :laugh:
Now, as I am rooted I do some other things as well - take it to another level.
I don't like seeing the nav buttons whatsoever, as I don't like it when I type on the keyboard..
So First off I download and install the app called LMT Launcher (Thanks to @noname81)
You can get it RIGHT HERE
Install it and then go trough the setup to get ti looking like you want it (I make it completely transparent - so the navigation is similar to the iPhone X - LOL)
Not liking the navbar, I use solid explorer to completely disable ityou can get it RIGHT HERE
When you download it and install it, open it and allow root access.
Then navigate to: System and find a file called build.prop (I like to use Solid Explorer as it automatically creates .bak - a backup file) and then scroll till the end and after the last line past: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 this will DISABLE YOUR NAVBAR
Lastly I install AdAway (Thanks to @mrRobinson) You can get it RIGHT HERE
I will update the guide as I go, with apps I use, etc.. If anybody has any questions feel free to ask, I will be more than happy to help! :highfive:
Except for Nova (I prefer Google Now Launcher), these are the exacts same steps I do every time i buy a new phone
Youd be better off using All In one gestures and use the 12 axis gesture .. no UI just pure magic
There is already a thread for this (locked until people get their devices.)
I'm not posting my setup.. I'm letting people know how I set up my phone.

Install all in one gestures : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
Setup permissions and enable accessibility for the app.
Permissions setup for non-root usage:
Most of this is inspired from : https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/7bqy5r/guide_fullscreen_immersive_mode_with_gesture/
Code:
adb -d shell pm grant com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb -d shell pm grant com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures android.permission.SET_ANIMATION_SCALE
Gesture setup
* Open AIO app and in top right, click on the three-dot menu -> select more hotspots
* On the subsequent dialog, select the last option (12 Hotspot diagonal swipe)
* Back on the app, swipe from left to access the side menu, and select personalization
* * Disable toast message (its annoying), and reduce the vibration intensity to a minimal one to your taste - or in my case i chose zero vibrations for my gestures.
* Back on the personalizations page - Select > Edge Preference
* * Set Opacity 10%, Edge Width 50%, Swipe Distance 60px (pay with bigger number if you want to swipe longer into the screen)
* Back into the app main screen, Toggle "Enable"
* On the section named "Bottom"
* * Enable left swipe first -> select back button
* * Enable right swipe next -> select recent apps
* * Enable Up swipe last -> select home button
Oh and make sure you have this app whitelisted for not getting battery optimized or force dozed. Also enable auto start for this app.
You should be all good... All gestures all the time. just like iPhone X. Once you get comfortable you can go ahead and disable the navbar altogether qemu.hw.keys=1
Haven't looked at the AIO Gestures app being discussed here, as I use LMT pie launcher too. The greatest advantage to me is the pie pointer feature. With this feature you can really use a large phone one handedly. Don't know if your familiar with pie pointer. It simulates a touch on the display far away from where you actually are touching the screen. You can click something on the top most left corner even though your thumb is touching the screen on the middle or bottom right hand side of the phone (where your thumb naturally would be using a phone right handed). So that's extremely cool I think. Check it out on YouTube videos, I suppose there are pie pointer demos.
LMT launcher is really incredible, it offers so many features that you can execute by just swiping in from the screen edge. From launching apps, to system controls plus pie pointer,...
Loving it!
You can try this APK to disable the navbar easily without adb commands.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298987107
It'll be installed as a "com.whalespor......" and you can disable the two permissions granted after installing it.
Used it on my S8 in addition with AIO Gestures...pratically the best way to use android, in my opinion!
If the apk works on OP5T too...well...it's perfect!
In case it works, report it here!

You have to install it, then reboot the phone, and the navbar should be hidden permanently.
@Bucika you said you add build prob line but it doesnt do anything for me the navbar is still there.

I hope that's not your actually setup because it looks hideous.
And I think no navbar is just extra work and pointless form over function. The navbar is there for a reason you know.
Tried the apk and that doesn't work either

Everyone has his own taste.. To me it looks good, and it works.
Navbar will get burn in in time, and there are other ways, that I think personally are more efficient, to navigate trough out the system. But to each his own.
I'm just sharing for anyone who is interested, or didn't know something about that.
