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...

I asked why because I am wondering how you avoided reading any of the warnings in all of the Asus ROM and kernel threads. Pretty much all the instruction posts include the warning. I thought perhaps you had decided to unlock without first deciding on a particular ROM. But then, as berndblb...

It seems like every ROM and kernel thread for Asus tablets on XDA warns you about this, so I don't know how you missed it. The latest Samsung tablets like the Galaxy Tab S will also present a warranty problem, because depending upon which model you get there currently may be no way to root them...

They've been working great for me, I'm currently using the Sept. 22nd build with no problems. The DroidVPN app has been working properly for more than a week of nightlies now.

No problems here booting on any of the new nightlies, from Aug. 28 to Sept. 12. I have had problems with my VPN app, though, DroidVPN. After the last two builds, Sept. 11 and 12, it announces a connection to DroidVPN's servers, but when I check the connection it says network failure. Going to...

On the Aug. 30th nightly, and I'm not getting either of these two problems. My phone was slowing down drastically on the stock ROM before I tried Cyanogenmod, so thanks to the developers for continuing to support this device! It is so fast and smooth now it is like getting a new phone. I've...

The higher resolution is definitely overkill for games -- but it is fantastic for reading text and webpages. It really reduces fatigue and eye strain when reading for long periods. So it really depends on what you want a tablet for...

This doesn't seem to be on the Asus website -- the latest version there is still from January (V10.26.1.18). Does anyone know where we can download a flashable version for those of us who are unlocked?

But if you get the z2, max resolution is only 1920 x 1200, while the high-end Asus and Samsung tablets have 2560 x 1600, which gives a higher dots per inch than Apple's Ipad... That may not be important if you want a tab mainly for gaming or video, but for me reading was paramount, and for that...

I suspect that -- in spite of what Asus and many on this board have said -- the majority of units have not been defective, including those that were made both before and after the 2013.11 batch that was supposed to be "fixed." In other words, there were good units made before the "fix", and...

The availability of this method convinced me to finally unlock my tablet. (That, and the fact that after a month I was satisfied that my 2013.10 dock and tablet were working properly.) Method used successfully, gratitude to sdbags.

I think I originally failed to downgrade to a Jellybean 4.1 bootloader before installing this ROM. I had previously installed Androwook; after I downgraded (using the method from the Androwook thread), wiped, and reflashed this ROM, everything has been fast and smooth, with no Forced Closures...

I've been using the latest build of this since Namidairo released it a few weeks ago. Has anyone else found that they are now frequently getting Forced Closures with their browsers? I've had Boat Browser and Firefox Beta during this time and they now crash on a regular basis when visiting...

It's a pity Samsung doesn't release a Transformer-style tablet/dock combo. Asus keeps having more hardware problems than Samsung, and Samsung seemed happy for a while to try out every possible form factor. The new Transformer Infinity (TF701T) straight out of the box has all the functionality...

I'm in China too and am considering buying the Note 10.1 so I'll be facing the same problem. With a Chinese friend's Asus Transformer Prime, I flashed an official Taiwanese ROM so that she could access Google Play, but with this method you no longer get OTA updates. Also, as mickmad noted...

Thanks, much appreciated. I had already installed the previous build, and so only did a cache and Dalvik cache wipe before installing this one. Everything went fine, I'll post more after a few days use.

Does the Paranoid ROM support the Touchpad Disable Key on the keyboard dock? That has been the sticking point for most of the 4.3 ROMs I've tried. (I'm using Namidairo's unofficial CM10.2 specifically because it supports it.)

While I haven't been 100% satisfied with my TF201 (even after installing Namidairo's unofficial CM10.2), the TF701 is still the frontrunner for my next tablet. I use my tablet for reading and watching videos, not playing games, which rules out the main advantage of the iPad (a larger library of...

I must not be understanding the terminology in this forum. Because I thought that the ROM in this thread is based on CM 10.2, which is based on Android 4.3, and yet it DOES allow you to disable the trackpad. In other words, the ROM in the OP supports all the function keys, INCLUDING the Disable...

Your statements sound completely wrong to me. Of course you can root without unlocking the bootloader. I have rooted two phones and my TF201, all without unlocking; I rooted the TF201 soon after buying it, and only unlocked the bootloader more than a year later. Rooting doesn't force you to...

Thanks for adding in the keyboard dock function key support, Namidairo! And to Jorge for the fix? InsaneNutter, I've successfully used a usb Ethernet adaptor with both the stock Asus Jellybean ROM, as well as Androwook's. I will try it out with this ROM when I get a chance.

I've tried some of the 4.3 ROMs -- specifically, Namidairo's non-official CM 10.2 linked above, as well as the PAC-man ROM. Both ran well, but the lack of support for the keyboard dock's function keys made me switch to a 4.2 ROM, Androwook. I'm hoping someone eventually adds the support...

I asked about the function keys a week ago, and Uchihakyo confirmed that only a few are working. I eventually tried both the regular and the nightly build (20131020) and found the same thing. This is a great ROM, but for me the inability to disable the touchpad was enough to make me switch to...

Thanks, looking forward to it.

Does this ROM support the keyboard dock function keys? I've tried several of the great 4.3 ROMs here but it seems none of them support the Disable Touchpad key.

Thanks for this ROM, guys. Has anyone tried out the function keys with the nightly builds? I'm wondering specifically if the touchpad disable key has been fixed. I know I could just try one out myself, but for maximum compatibility, I've not been using Titanium to restore app data every time I...

After a year running a rooted but locked device, and struggling recently to speed up my Prime, this was the first custom rom I've tried. Overall I'd have to say I am very pleased -- it is like having a new tablet. I particularly like being able to select China as a wi-fi region in settings, as...

Power saving mode supposedly just reduces contrast, it isn't supposed to alter colour balance. I find I have the yellow tint regardless of which mode I choose.

Others have reported a yellow tint. My screen also is too yellow, but I didn't want to return my Prime because of the chance of getting one that was defective in a more serious way! There is a relatively simple solution if the yellow tone is bothering you -- use an app like Screen Adjuster than...

You might be lucky like me if you used OTA Root Keeper before the update. I used the method described by member thenrz in his thread "For those with 'partial root after JB update - regain root!", and it worked fine (though I had a heart attack at step 18a, which turned out not to be necessary...

Thanks lineager. Unfortunately for me, my Prime started to download the OTA update hours earlier, and thinking based on other users' posts that OTA Root Keeper would be up to the task, I just let the regular update process proceed. Found out the hard way that it only could restore partial root...

The only problem with flashing a different SKU is that you'll never be able to receive OTA updates again... If ASUS doesn't do anything about the update problem in the next few days, though, I'll switch anyway. I've tried re-flashing the TW .28 ROM, data wipe, rerooting and unrooting after...

I've been noticing the same thing, using the ad version of Dice Player. Most of the video I watch is 720p, h264 or x264. But I have to disagree with Fizzerr -- I only noticed it after the .28 update. I'm fairly certain this wasn't a problem before -- I'm very picky about video quality -- so I...

Thanks to Wolf for the exploit, and ucfstevie for helping to spread the word. Success, and didn't have to wipe. Downgraded to .15 TW, rooted with the Sparkyroot app, backed up with OTA Rootkeeper, OTA to .21, then finally restored root with Rootkeeper. The only hard part for me was trying to...

Nowadays virtually no English-language websites get blocked. Unfortunately, the handful that do get blocked -- social networking sites like Facebook -- are among the most useful for foreigners. I can access them using proxy software like Freegate on my Windows 7 laptop, but I'm looking for an...

Unfortunately Orbot isn't working for me in China, and I've tried using bridges. It just never completes a connection regardless of how long I let it run. It's frustrating, because I can access most blocked sites like Facebook or Youtube using my laptop and free proxy software (Freegate). This...
