That button can also be used in non multiwindow mode to switch quickly between the 2 most recent apps.


Global Actions
Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview, switch between the 2 most recent apps and to force the splitview slot have been added

So Far So Good...

Installation was easy and setup was smooth. Since installation during app installs I've encountered some FCs and soft reboots (still trying to install my apps). But it's really smooth, the best I think the tablet has ever seen! Can't wait for apps to install and get to actually using it. Will report back after.

While restoring all apps together with titanium backup, freezes or some reboots can happen. Except that, it's quite stable in everyday use. As long as timduru continue to develop this rom, i will optimize it for TF201

oh, no, I don't use TB, that can screw up ****; I just initiate via the Playstore only. I go and DL them all 1-by-1 or if google asks to start DLing all my old apps I say yes. So far after all the apps installed and I logged into them and started to use them, I've only had 2 soft reboots and 2 FC's. So far so good. We'll see how it runs tomorrow during DnD. Thanks again, awesome ROM!

 

[TacoNikky]

GAPPS are changed to minimal edition 14.04.15
There are more free space in system partition now

 

[Razje]

Just installed it today.

First, damn format data indeed takes a long time

But it's working perfectly now. And i'm absolutely flabbergasted at how good it works. I came from Crombi-KK and after a couple days of use it became super slow. Now with Katkiss is feels really snappy.

Installed Need for Speed No Limits, and I didn't expect to even run.
But I could actually just do a full race without any lag.

So yeah, so far so good.

My old Transformer Prime is alive again

 

[blank_paged]

I am also using KatKiss, but did not installed it using the repack file. Used separate files (rom+kernel lite+gapps).

I am also in f2fs and when I was installed gmail, etc, I had several soft reboots (maybe 10 or so). But after everything is installed it settled and is working ok.

The only issue so far is the camera not working.
Are you guys having this issue?

This ROM is excellent on my asus TF201 was very fast. in the forum say that it is possible to do overclocking to 1700MHz but the settings only gives to choose up to 1300MHz but in AnTuTu says that the CPU is 1500MHz? How can I change?

 

[pogeymanz]

This ROM is wonderful. Between the ROM and formatting my data to F2FS, my TF201 has new life!

However, encryption doesn't seem to work. It just reboots to normal instead of encrypting...

Is this a known issue? Is it because I'm using F2FS?

You might have different version of tegra 3 on your tablet. There is another 5.1 Lite kernel for you. I am going to add it here

 

[TacoNikky]

@JuraP
Strange..... your lite version let's me "oveclock" only up to 1300 MHz.... So no OC at all..... Tried to re-flash the kernel package just now with the same result. The top frequency in Performance settings is 1300 the same in Trickster mod. With performance version the option is up to 1800 MHz
@hardslog
So it would appear that there is more than one tegra3 model for the TF201. Nice job Asus:
JuraP - Tegra3: CPU Speedo ID 1, Soc Speedo ID 2
lj50036 - Tegra3: CPU Speedo ID 6, Soc Speedo ID 2
Should be easy enough to fix though
@JuraP
Works like a charm, mighty wizard !!! Booted without hassle, OC settings working good... No twitch with 1600 MHz, interactive governor and vr I/O scheduler....

That is the kernel who can not overclock with following instructions on first page.
Its worth a try

TF201 as TF301

Hi. Can i flash the rom even when my tablet "thinks" it«s a tf301? I once installed a *firmware* (or just software i dont know, im not much of a pro on android) that modifyed the system to "think" it's a tf301....

Can i flash the rom following the instructions or is there a way to put it back tf201?

Thanks in advance,
Tiago

If you meet the criterias
*Unlocked device
*Bootloader version
*TWRP
You can flash it.

In this rom system shows that its TF300 but its just a build.prop information
It does not make any problem :good:

Can someone please briefly outline the steps I need to take to get from HairyBean 2.31 with F2FS to "JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.27.1 AND TWRP 2.8.0.0+" ?

Question #1:
Right now, my TF201 shows "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711" when I boot it to recovery. However, according to the HairyBean disclaimer, it states that:

"DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER PRIME RECOVERY WHILE USING THE NEW HAIRYBEAN 2.31 (4.2.1) BOOTLOADER, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AT THE MOMENT, THE ONE BUILT IN IS MODDED. USE THE DOWNGRADE ZIP TO TAKE YOU BACK TO 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY IF YOU NEED IT."

So, does this means I have to downgrade or it's safe to go straight to TWRP 2.8.0.0+?

Question #2:
I'm on TWRP 2.7.0.0-Geass. How would I go to TWRP 2.8 because from TWRP website it says that it's not supported anymore.

I would really appreciate it if someone who had gone from HairyBean 2.31 to this ROM could quickly outline the steps.

Thank you!

1) You do not have to downgrade. Your bootloader version is what we are looking for :good:

2) It's safe to go straight to TWRP 2.8.0.0+ Because of we have TF300T's bootloader on our prime, we can flash TWRP which is made for TF300

I use TWRP 2.8.3.0 version on my prime and it works without any issues.
TWRP 2.8.3.0 http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob

Download the file above. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.blob

Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Then reboot to complete installation.

Thank you TacoNikky for your help. I really appreciate it! I actually figured it out right before your reply. I found a slightly easier way to do it. Hope this is of some help to those coming from HairyBean with F2FS.

From my version of HairyBean, bootloader, and TWRP above, I did the below.

BACKGROUND INFO:
- As TacoNikky pointed out, the bootloader "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711" from HairyBean is ready to go.
- Now, I can go straight to TWRP 2.8+. I flashed TWRP 2.8.5.1 zip that's packed for the TF201. Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...overy-kang-twrp-tf201t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3047675

INSTRUCTION:
1. Download all the zip files from the OP and TWRP 2.8.5.1 zip from the link above to your MicroSD card.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery and flash TWRP 2.8.5.1 zip. Then fully reboot to Android.
3. Boot into TWRP recovery again and it should show version 2.8.5.1.
4. Go to Advanced Wipe and wipe what is recommended in the OP and those are dalvik cache, system, cache, internal storage. Since I was already on F2FS, I did not wipe Data. Follow the second post of this thread if you want to go to F2FS from EXT4.
5. Now, flash all the stuff as described in the OP. Reboot and that's it!

Thanks again TacoNikky for putting this together.

Now, I hope this ROM is as usable as HairyBean. Also hoping for ChromeCast's "Cast Screen" to work.

I hate Asus for the pain that the TF201 had caused!

Update: You should also wipe Data. I missed reading it from the OP. Also, I got "wiping" and "formatting" kind of mixed up in my mind. In Step 4, I meant to say that I didn't have to "format" Data because I was already on F2FS.

Just to inform you
Not wiping /data can cause a bootloop at first boot
Even if you pass, you may have google play store issues (Google is really strict with that on 5.1)

Haha. Thanks. I was going to ask you whether I should wipe Data. Looks like it's back to re-flashing the ROM.

For some reasons, I didn't see in the OP that one should also wipe Data. Oopsy.
