Hi all,
This is another JB 4.2.1 Custom rom that will work for our tf700 code name "Hairy Bean" - **Unleash The Beast!**". Created by developer flumpster, the same dev that helped sdbags with the new updated TWRP2.4.4.0. I have been running this rom for a bout a week and no issue so far. For more details you can find them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
Full credit by Flumpster.

Just a few highlights:
1. The latest Android JB 4.2.1 build.
2. Custom kernel to work with data2sd or without. (selectable during installation)
3. Init.d scripting enabled in kernel ramdisk
4. Work with TF201, TF300 and TF700 (selectable during installation, also for WW or US)
5. Dual Launcher - Stock 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 (Make sure you disabled Animation in settings-> developer options for smoothness).
6. Custom background and a lot of options during installation.


Pretty simple to flash. Here is how to:
1. Flash sdbags "Bootloader and patched TWRP 2.4.4.0 DOWNLOAD" can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223918
2. Use the new updated TWRP to flash Hairybeen 2.11 can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
That's it, enjoy and be graceful that we have another rom to play with.

Oh ..sh...t , I mistaken posted in a wrong section, please move to General Section. Sorry people.

Either way I may try it out. Can it be flashed over the stock TF700 rom that sbdags posted? and can it,if I want to later,be flashed over with the new Cromi when it is released?

Rom: Stock 4.2.1 Rooted.
UPDATE FOR TF700 USERS!!! AND THE 4.2.1 UPDATE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204100
yes, just wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash it, very simple.
Edit: Rule of thumb is every time you switch from one custom rom to another you should wipe data (may not need too). However, we can do it this way without data wipe.
1. Take a nandroid backup of your current sdbags stock rom
2. Wipe cache/davlik cache and flash Hairybean rom
To go back without data wipe:
1. Restore sdbags stock rom from nandroid backup.
2. Flash sdbags new 4.2 cromi.

Hi mate,
like you already said this should be posted in the General forum.On the other hand you encourage the cross-flashing (that rom was developed for a different device) wich imho is not good.
If the rom developer thinks that his rom is safe for the TF700T should feel free to open a thread here in the Development forum. ;)

I already spoke to developer and he confirmed it's working for tf700. I won't post here unless I tried it myself first. In the installation, there is an option for tf700.

I've tested this for flumpster. It works on the TF700 fine.

It's based from the TF300 10.6.1.8 source with a few things nicked from the TF700 rom.

It's a similar and good alternative to CROMi-X

:good:

BTW that just installs the TF700 build.prop :)

I'm new to the 700t, but so far, this has been the best ROM of the 4 that I tried. It runs good and plays nice with D2D. Thanks.

Am I over here also? I must have missed this thread :)

I never intended to release this onto the tf300 or tf700 as I don't really have the time to give support on the three threads.

I made it compatible tho as some of my beta testers own the devices and wanted to use it on them also.

Let me know how the ROM works for you and if the new 2.2 release is OK.

Getting Boot Loop

I installed per instructions and it is constantly booting to the ASUS flash screen.

I thought this might be the 30-60 minute "letting the rom casche" as mentioned in the instructions - but it has been doing it for over an hour.

Any help or should I just re-flash TWRP and re-flash my previous rom?

Which kernel did you flash when you whent through the set up?
I first tried the recommended kernel but got stuck on the Asus screen boot looping, so I then tried the stock kernel from the kernel selection and that worked just fine.

Unfortunately any stock kernel other than what is installed with ROM causes the screen to go wack and font to shrink

The issue is that the kernel offered with this ROM includes the 240dpi lock in init.04.rc and the default Asus build.prop is stuck at 160dpi. So once you unlock the kernel (by using one of the ones in cromi-x like that's or mine) you get 160dpi. Do as_that says and edit the DPI setting in the build.prop to fix.

I have spoken with flumpster about this and he will probably update to allow multi DPI settings to the tf700. Also this version is out of date. 2.2 is out now ;)
