Vanir is now in Beta for the TF701. We could use some feedback on how it is doing. Currently, we forked CM's device tree + kernel. (this will change based upon feedback)

Currently all TF700 builds can be found in the nightly section for both Vanir and Commotio

I'm probably a less technical user than many. But here's my $.02.
  • The navigation bar customizations are huge. Once you get used to having a "last app" button there's no going back.
  • I got non-stop Google Keyboard errors which I worked around by using voice to install Swiftkey. I don't use Google Keyboard anyway because there's no split layout.
  • The back button goes to Google Now because of the navigation ring. I disabled that too.
  • I haven't grasped the mystery of how themes behave. There are often subtle differences from one ROM or device to the next. In this case with SUBZ3ER0 I can see the text on my Gmail widget and in Google Voice where often it's black-on-black. I have no idea if that's because of some deliberate change, but if so that's great. (And if it's not, it's still great.)

I recently switched from an Xperia tablet Z and was missing a lot of the customizations. (On the bright side I've been wasting less time constantly flashing different ROMs.) This is very nice.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to address theme over the next week. I think we need some overlays for this tab DPI
In the meantime, you can adjust the navi bar size in Settings/Interface

For me, adb over wireless crashes settings. Using rom toolbox pro instead. So far so good otherwise.

Sorry, poor word choice. I meant that the navigation bar customizations are "huge" in the sense that they are very significant, very helpful. There isn't anything abnormal about their size. It took a while for that to click before I realized my miscommunication.

Brickmaking

Dumb question - does the term "brickmaking" on the download site mean that it's just very experimental and risky or that brickmaking is the expected outcome?

I'll remove that tag today

It means it's experimental with a higher risk than usual. 4.4.3 builds look stable

It's been great for several days. I was getting random crashes on various apps on 4.4.2, sometimes a bunch at once, but it hasn't happened in the past few days. I need to stop being lazy and read about how to save log files and what to do with them. There are other variables. I was using ART and using a lower resolution. Either way it would take a whole lot of crashes to negate the huge benefit of the last app nav bar button. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Better than that. I'd rather tear my bread apart and eat it in chunks than lose my last app button.

Does this ROM support ART runtime? Also, still no support to exFat file system, right?

It could my imagination but after the last nightly this seemed exceptionally responsive and fast.
