thanks Andy
If I get it right I need to install that from Google Play, that will install the app which will install TWRP and then I can use that to install the above image.
Can you confirm that SlimKat 4.4.4 is indeed an Android 7 room? All the google resutls for how to install Slimkat send me to install KitKat Androind 4x)

the image I am running is so bad that it is crashing while I am downloading TWRP
Then it is rebooting and then when it starts I am seeing TWRP in the download queue ...and it is crashing again
the screen time out is so short that the screen turns black in a couple of seconds after the device is up....
Google Play accessed from my desktop is now reporting that the app is installed
The table is saying it is 100% installed but there is no Open button just Cancel...
It finnaly installed but I am wondering if with these random crashes it is safe to try to install the new boot file ...it might crash while it is installing

No. You download my common TWRP (http://andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html) and install it from your current recovery. Once you reboot the recovery you'll have TWRP.

SlimKat = Android 4.4.4
Slim7 = Android 7.1.2

Feel free to browse on my Userpage (http://andi34.github.io/) and you'll find most informations you need.

oh ok thank you ... I am glad I asked
In the mean time I discovered that part of the instability problem was that fact that I had like 500M room left on cards ...
It got better after I deleted some files
I also learned that Google Home will work on my device but Google Assitant will not (I need 1.5G of memory) so I guess upgrading does not make sense if I do not see any more instability problems after the disk clean up

ok I did manage to install the slim7 using TWRP from Google Store (put the tablet in root mode)
After that I was able to install the zipe for Slim7 and I am currently installing the Stock Gapps

Andi many thanks, great job. TWRm is amazingly useful and practical.

if you would have looked at my page you'd have found TWRP as .img (can be used on Heimdall or inside TWRP to update TWRP), as .tar.md5 (for Odin) or as .zip (to flash from an existing recovery).

But anyway: good to hear you got it working.

I have just discover this fantastic rom and revived my device. Although I will install Slim6 because of incompatible apps I love the simplicity of KitKat... It's a pity how does the Android ecosystem has evolved. I would like to see my new mobile phone with a KitKat rom o_O

Thanks @Android-Andi for your enormous effort and the website with all rom available for this device!
