I've been using the KatKiss "KatshMallow" ROM (Marshmallow 6.0.1) on my TF701 and it is working great. The only caveat is that it doesn't support exFat, so I had to format my MicroSD card with NTFS.

While I loved a lot of the tech you could get in China, I always had one big worry about Android devices: what sort of firmware upgrades could you expect? I also wanted Google software, and it was a lot of extra work to get it running. How long have you had the Chuwi tablet?

I still use mine daily, but as a media consumption device -- reading articles saved via Pocket, or watching videos. You can get better tablets for gaming (e.g. the Nvidia Shield), but I remember a year ago considering a replacement while getting my TF701 repaired, and there was nothing on the...

The same way you change wallpaper. Press and hold on the Home screen (anywhere on the wallpaper where there isn't an icon), and when you release, the "Manage home" menu should come up. Select Wallpapers, which will bring up the "Set wallpaper" menu. The second option should be "Lock screen".

It turns out after months of trouble that this was a hardware problem -- a loose connection between the battery and the motherboard! When I had the aluminum back of my tablet replaced last year because of a dent, the technician did not put in new, double-sided tape to secure the battery to the...

I've experienced the same thing. I assumed it was because the surface of my tablet wasn't perfectly flat but instead slightly concave. I get the same problem if I put my tablet in a certain case in my backpack without the keyboard dock -- this apparently puts pressure on the screen with the...

It's probably been quiet because this build is working so well! I don't think I've noticed that problem with the stock browser -- but then I've mainly been using Dolphin.

What is the name of the APK extractor app you use? Thanks.

When the Google Play Store says an app is "not compatible" with your device, it doesn't necessarily mean your device is incapable of running it. I think it is more likely that our TF701T is not on a whitelist of devices tested and approved by the developer. The fact that the TF701T did not sell...

Thanks for quickly putting that up. I think the older kernel was contributing to battery drain, because I noticed after flashing that Google Play Services was once again the biggest battery-draining app under Power Management.

Thanks sbdags. I hate to reveal my ignorance, but why does it look like the kernel in this version is older than the one in the rooted stock rom posted by himineu several days ago? (Oct. 17 as opposed to Dec. 18, 3.4.66-ge79544a)

Unfortunately, the cause of the drain has temporarily become moot for me, because I left my tablet in my backpack for several hours and it drained COMPLETELY. Now I can't charge it at all. After connecting it to a charger overnight, it still showed 0% battery, and initially in Settings/Battery...

So, what is the name of this app? "Autostarts"? The developer name would be appreciated too. (I've had problems with apps having similar names in the past...)

Thanks for running these tests. I've noticed similar drain problems with my tablet starting a week ago, and from Power Management stats it looked like Google Play Services was the culprit, but after turning off auto-updating and location services, a drain sometimes occurs from some other Google...

The OP mentions he may need to be able to read and write to USB keys and SD cards, for which the TF701 and dock would be much more convenient. None of the Nexus tablets has a card slot, and to read flash drives you'd need to install a third-party file browser and use a USB OTG adaptor. I'm...
