No custom roms are available for our tegra note 7

[EinBier]

Hello everybody,

I'm wondering why there aren't (working) custom roms for our device. I also got some nexus devices and on them I enjoy cyanogenMod, why it's impossible to build a custom rom for our tegra note 7? Another point is that I think the stock version running on the tegra note 7 is bugged and lagging.

Thanks for reading guys I hope you can give me an answer.

I haven't found a ROM yet and I've been looking for ages. Lollipop performance on this device is somewhat erratic; sometimes it's brilliant and others it's useless. Never had to reboot a device so often in my life.

yeah, wish we had a nice custom rom or kernel for Lollipop on this device.
at first mine worked fine but recently the nvidia services take up anything from 30% to 70% of cpu all the time, draining the battery in a matter of hours even with screen off.
and god forbid I leave it ON while charging, it will still drain/charge and heat up like a god damn cooking stove... sigh

Just run kitkat.

A custom 5.x effort wouldn't necessarily be any good either. It's unfortunate that NV has abandoned continued TN7 efforts but it's not surprising I guess.

we would gain quite alot if we could run marhsmallow though, as sdcard can be mounted as internal memory

I bought a Shield K1 and have experimented with the adopted storage. It's slow and it's buggy at the moment. I think it's slow because they force it to be encrypted. I think they format it with EXT4 as well and that's going to be slower in general than FAT32 or EXFAT on a SD card because of the journaling.

I even had some weird MTP USB transfer problems with it. Inaccessible or missing files/folders even after a reboot.

People are complaining about Marshmallow on the K1 for the same reasons people complain about 5.1 on the TN7. It is having battery drain problems because of services pegging the CPU for some reason. So I don't think you want a build of the current Marshmallow release.

Never gonna buy from Nvidia again. Was thinking of getting the Asus Zenpad S but from reading the forum (they don't even have a dedicated one yet) OTAs are hard to come by.

I think NVidia is actually one of the best about updates. Google itself is probably the best.

ASUS is does not support their products for long.

The main problem is that Android always has problems. They are always rushing to the next big version with new features and never get the bugs all ironed out.

Nope, not about Android. The tablet has problems with palm recognition when using the built-in stylus and overheating among other things. We've been waiting for a fix for quite awhile.

The fix is to run Kitkat.

I think NV is done with TN7 and Shield Portable support. The Shield Portable people say there are problems with their 5.x builds too. I was reading through a thread of that yesterday and they said stick to Kitkat for it too.

I'm talking about Kitkat. Also when you plug in the charger you can't use the pen while at the same time resting your palm on the screen.

In my experience with various tablets, connecting the charger sometimes causes the touch recognition to go haywire because of some kind of electrical effect. It varies among tablets and chargers. The Shield Tablet actually seems much more sensitive to the issue. I have a charger that makes it go crazy with phantom touches.
