I had a Nook Color, I rooted it and added CyanogenMod w/ Gapps and everything was great. Upgraded to a Transformer TF300T last X-Mas and enjoyed the tablet. After incredible slowdown and unbearable lag I really haven't used it much for anything in the last 6 months. Decided to pick it up and Root it and make it usable again.
Over the last 3 days I've been struggling greatly with this tablet. At first I was having trouble rooting it but that was because I was using my laptop which is windows 8.1 so I finally got it rooted on day 2 with TWRP. Then yesterday I was having a hard time getting it to load CyanogenMod but I determined it was the 2 versions. The 10.0 stable just sits at the Asus load screen and the most recent nightly just sits at the CyanogenMod home screen. After trying a few other nightlies I realized that I can get it to load CyanogenMod but now I can't get it to load any Gapps. There is a constant force close window that comes up and makes the tablet useless on most nightlies.
Then one nightly allowed the install but Google Play would just force close. Now I'm hearing about this other Custom Rom I could possible go with "CROMI-X" but a quick Google search and forum search just came up with more confusion.
Is there any way to just root this damn thing and put on a custom rom and have Google Play? I don't feel like I'm asking a whole lot. I know it's never going to be as easy as the Nook Color was but for christ sake, I'm not a novice. I can follow directions. It's like everything I look at is outdated or not compatible.
Please help, I'm slowly becoming suicidal because of this tablet.
And I figured it out, 10.2 = Android 4.3 whereas I was using a GAPPS.zip for 4.2 instead of 4.3 Hope that helps somebody.
