It's been quite somve months since the release of KitKat, and I had my prime ready for flash, but I am waiting for a KK rom.
but somehow there are like none available, or at least I missed them.

Why is that ?

Here are some KitKat ROMs for the TF-201 that you can find under the Eee Pad Transformer Prime Android Development section:

ParanoidAndroid 4.1 BETA 3/6/2014

Cyanogenmod 11.0 Unofficial [KOT49H][06/03/14]
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589554

I have been using the ParanoidAndroid 4.1 BETA on my TF-201 with good results so far.

Thanks for the info. I succesfully installed this rom. If it's beta, it's quite polished ;)
Do You know if there is a chance for the separate thread in development section, when this goes stable?
For now, these are unoficial test builds, it's named for TF300T but works on Prime.

Do all 300 roms work with the 201 then? I've only been watching the TF201 thread, as has been said, little to no kitkat mentions.

As far as I know - no. Roms should be prepared for the current devices.

However, this situation is diffrent - we have a beta-tester, who pointed what is working and I was lucky to boot succesfully.
I am no dev, but installing any rom from diffrent device without proper porting should end up in bootloop or softbrick.

Mate, don't try it without nvflash backup!

The CROMBI KK ROM has been built for our primes as well as the TF300, even though its in the TF300 dev forum, just make sure you follow the above instructions correctly to get on the right boot loader and twrp recover first

sent from my TF201

I have flashed SlimKat from the TF300 thread on my Prime. To be completely honest, my Prime has never run as smoothly as it does now with this ROM. I have had zero issues since flashing it. I suppose I may have just been lucky to not run into any issues...

Any f2fs recovery for kitkat

In addition to the available kitkat ROMs for the tf201, does anyone know if there are any recoveries that can be used to format the partitions to f2fs as that seems to be hot right now?

Then we would also need to know what ROMs can operate with f2fs.

CM11 & Slimkat

I tried both 4.4.2 Crombix and Slimkat from TF300T. Remember that this is still work in progress, so take it easy.

The CM11 based one is very good for a daily driver, two developers cooperate closely and there even is a choice for diffrent kernels.

I think Slimkat deserves Your attention because of the smoothness. You get a chance to instal something diffrent, for long time unavailable for our devices. It provides some new user experience, so worth taking it on board.:) Also good contact with the dev, worth a try
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2657847 :good:


Crombi has power profiles and dock battery indicator, which Slimkat hasn't atm.

Did you have to do anything special to get it flashed? I just went through all the steps of getting a NVFlash backup so my bootloader says 10.4.2.15-20120917 A03. I was on stock 4.1.1 rooted for ages and this thing has been collecting dust but I figured I would get it usable for my daughter to use on trips. I followed the instructions on androidroot.mobi to get all my backups and then I installed TWRP v2.7.0.0-Voyagery2k_v.1.2 and when I try to install SlimKat I get a error of getprop = TF300T so I'm not sure if I have to edit something to get it to flash or what. I also see all the "i bricked my device" threads so I want to proceed with caution. I'm just looking for a fast kit kat ROM since this thing on 4.1.1 was super slow with the amount of data I had on it.

I'm just hoping for a: flash this bootloader (link) flash this recovery (link) and flash this ROM (link) and make sure you do this as well instructions.

Thank you!

Follow the instructions on the latest hairybean thread to flash the "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip", then flash "TWRP-TF300T-2_7_0_1.zip" from the TF300 dev thread, then flash SlimKat, GAPPS from the TF300 dev thread. With nv flash you shouldn't have anything to worry about, but these are the steps I followed and it worked like a charm! Still loving it!
