[ROM]★★★[TF701T KitKat 4.4.4][CROMBi-kk 20140714][DEODEX | CM11 Base][JULY 14]★★★

TF701T USERS: YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED, ON THE ASUS STOCK JB 4.3 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.26.1.18 AND HAVE A WORKING RECOVERY - CWM 6.0.4.6+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM. SEE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS IN POST 2 IF YOU ARE UNSURE

How to Upgrade!

HOW TO FLASH
Make sure you have prepared by copying the ROM zip file to your internal SD Card or external SD Card first.

Please Unlock using the Asus Unlock Tool first found here.
Note installing and running this app will wipe your device and void your warranty.

You can flash CWM 6.0.4.7 using the instructions here.
Direct File Link is here.

To flash a recovery you need to have the fastboot.exe file and cwm recovery.img file in the same folder.
Right click + shift on the folder they are in and choose open command prompt here

Boot into the Bootloader by either booting with the Power and Volume Down Buttons held down until you get the 3 icons or by typing the following into the command prompt.

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

Then type the following commands to flash the recovery image:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Start the recovery by making sure the RCK icon is highlighted (use volume down to move) and push volume up to select.
If you need to move to the latest bootloader then manually install the 10.26.1.18 firmware from the Asus website.

In recovery choose install zip - install zip from /sdcard and maneuver to the folder you put the rom.zip (vol up and down) and select it using power button.

The AROMA installer will start - as we have no touch screen drivers in CWM yet you will have to use VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN to navigate and POWER to select. Choose as many options as you require

Finally reboot when finished.

Extras!

BIG RED WARNING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE MISSING ROOT!

You are not. The way CM11 works is root is not enabled by default after a clean install. Here is how you enable it.

1. Enable developer options by clicking the build number 7 times in settings - about tablet
2. Go to developer settings
3. In the first section click Root access and change to Apps and ADB

Enjoy your rooted rom

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD

Good work! [emoji2]

lucius.zen · Mar 30, 2014

Ballin out of control.

You must have read my mind, was going to ask if you could add options for disabling fsync and journalling. Awesome work, cant wait to test.

PS - How is dolphins performance? Now that stock is flash player free i will need a new browser

Trel725 · Mar 30, 2014

In this ROM don't work Home button and express settings in status bar. Maybe because I flash it without full wipe, only cache and dalvik cache. But perfomance is greate :good:

Thanks...I'm downloading:good:

NoUseToRush · Mar 31, 2014

Rom is great, installation went without a glitch. Some apps unchecked did install anyway (ie News & Weather) but that was also the case in 4.3 if I remember well.
The only problem I have at the moment is to load Google Agenda Everything seems to have synced well but the agenda. I get a message that "Sync is currently experiencing problems,. It will be back shortly" , so it might not be related to the rom.
Question/comment: I understand that you did not include lucius.zen's tweak with regard to screen unresponsivness?
edit: can I add it to 95CleanTWEAKS
Anyhow, this a great rom. Chapeau! :cowboy:

:good:

Yes I agree it doesn't seem to help the cmbase as much. I need to look into the kernel to see how it is used.

thanks for your quick response. I still have this morning a problem with my google account (sync error with agenda). I'd like to know if anyone else has that problem?

YayYouFixedIt · Mar 31, 2014

Thanks. So should flashing this over cm11 be fine?

The OP would recommend that you do a full wipe before flashing, to get the most out of this ROM that's just what we advice.. :good:

If you do have issue, don't be surprised if that's one of the first things your asked... 'Did you do a full wipe' ??

Thx Josh

Ya I took the risk.

Not recommended (Google play, I'd issues, home button not working)

Sure is much faster though.

Sleeepy2 · Mar 31, 2014

Still going through the process of getting everything all setup again. So far all is sweet.
And Props to the new boot animation, simple but very clever.

I have a similar problem with Google Calendar not syncing. And yes, I did a full wipe. I've also tried removing the Calendar from the ROM (both manually and through a re-install) and installing instead from the Play store.

But the ROM overall is very responsive.
