This is really good news. I hope this means a lot of custom ROMs for the Z2 Tablet 521

Excuse my ignorance,

Does this mean we can load a custom ROM without loosing the additional features that come with the Z2?

It would be nice to be able to use my SD card...

Would love to see a wifi only version too! I will just about cream my pants if I can run CM on this thing. It kicks ass as is, but CM would take it over the edge. So glad I sold my Note 2014 edition for this tablet!

What would be better with CM? I don't see how it could top the stock ROM.

Just my preference. Nothing wrong with stock as I said, it will push it over the edge

hasenbein1966 · Jun 30, 2014

Which feaures of CM are causing you to personally prefer it over stock?

Just my preference, the look and feel I prefer.

Great news! Will play with this, this evening.

Some bugs does mean that some things like sound/lte does not work?! Or that only some apps can crash?

Edit: Installed it now on my tablet. For just a preview this is really a great ROM. Had a small bugs on the keyboard for SIM pin but the ROM works fine.

The official FXP release will support the Wifi-only model, right?

For me the stock rom is quite laggy, it's not a bad ROM by any stretch but certainly not how I like my devices to be setup function

xbill9 · Jul 8, 2014

I tried extracting the boot.img from the FXP327 castor_windy zip and it will not
boot to the shared CWM recovery to install the ROM zip.

The filesize for castor_windy is also only 144MB while the rest of the ROMS
for other devices are in the 244MB range.

Has anyone got this to work on the Z2 tablet wifi only?
