It's been about a year and came back to check up on the latest offerings from the hard working folks here.
I am currently running
Android version 4.1.1
Kernel 3.1.10 [email protected]
CleanRom 2.3
TWRP 2.2.2.3
I would like to get current on all. Should I follow the steps as if my device was brand new and starting from scratch or is there a more preferred way to go about it with my situation?
Thanks folks.
We're now on 4.2.1, here are current version of software you use:
Android: 4.2.1, as I said
CleanROM changed into CleanROM Inheritance - Xenogenesis, stable 4.6 should come out in a few days
For kernel you have some optoins: MaxKernel, Hundsbuah 3.0.6 or _that kernel.
TWRP - 2.5.0.0
You should visit Development section and check kernels out, also look for instructions on how to upgrade. Bootloader update is essential before rom update, keep that in mind.
Also, this is tf700 General, you have Q&A section for that kind of topics

A week ago I got a gTablet from eBay and I've been very happy playing with it every day. The main reason to get this tablet was the possibility to get Honeycomb working on the device.
Now I'm ready to go forward and install a Honeycomb rom on it, but there are some issues that I can't resolve.
The first thing is the tablet came already rooted with VEGAn-TAB. Due to the fact that I have to check the bootloader version, I followed the well known instructions to do that, that is, go to Settings > About tablet > Tapu UI Version. The first problem I run into was that I don't have Settings > About tablet, I have Settings > About phone. When I tap on that option, I don't get Tapu UI Version. This is what I get:
Model number: VEGAn-TAB
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.32.36-cyanogenmod root at pershoot-ubuntu #1
CPU info: ARMv7 Processor rev o (v7l)
Mod version: VEGAn-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony
Build number: GRI40
Can I infere the bootloader version from this info?
The second thing is I have to decide wich rom can I install after getting the bootloader version.
And the last issue is what is the recommended procedure to install the selected rom given the current configuration of my tablet?
I've read several guides, lots of forum posts, and I've made a great deal of searches but haven't had any luck, so I decided to post this in the hope that someone of the great devs here can help me with my task.
Any help will be very apreciated.
Doesn't matter. Honeycomb has a different structure than everything else. You need to perform code red on my website to install honeycomb. Click in signature.

That looks like vegan tab ginger edition.
Should be 1.1 BL
You should be able to drop this Honeycomb rom on it... Get the 1.1BL version. It works well. I moved from VeganTab Ginger to this just fine

Thank you for your help goodintentions, I went to your excellent website and read the section you sugested. Now I'm a very happy Honeycomb user.

I copied the BL1.1 ROM from the link you provided me to the gTab and then I followed the guide to flash it from goodintentions' website and voilà!! after a few minutes I was playing with Honeycomb. Awesome!!!
Thank you very much for your help.
I am waiting for an update as I lost bluetooth after updating to Beta 3.1. Very snappy. Which ROM are you using?
I installed yesterday. But I can not see any videos (sound only, flash 10.3 plugin). Does anybody know why?

I'm loving this Honeycomb ROM; there's no chance I'll be switching back.
Erm, on a side question, which HC rom are you using?
Is it Bottle of Smoke Honeycomb? Or gTab comb ? Honeycomb illuminate. I am now using a CM7 harmony and no idea which HC is better. I don't need bluetooth or camera, but I sure want a good stable HC

If your not on it, get on it. If you are and cant get flash to work then do this. Make sure adobe flash 10.3 is installed in market, then download and install Opera MOBILE browser. Flash will then work

Well, I still can't get Flash to work for everything (Flash games such as Cityville, Dungeon Overlord, CivWorld, etc).

I'm using GtabComb 3.1, you can find the link in schettj's post in the begining of this thread.
Upgrade to 3.2
A day after I flashed GtabComb beta 3.1 on my gTab, zyhong posted a new rom, beta 3.2. I would like to upgrade to this version, without having to reinstall all the apps I already have now. Any advice on how to do it? I'm planning to use Titanium Backup but I don't know what to backup (should I backup just user apps or user apps + system data)
As always, any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks dman918, indeed there is a post about it in the gtabcomb thread. I just copied the zip file to the gtab, went to recovery mod, flashed the zip and cleared dalvik cache. After reboot, I found everything in its place.
Glad I could help! Also good to know for when the next release comes out.
Hello,
All is in the question,
What kind of modification/tweaks/optimisation, the kernel version 3.xx.xx can offert than the 2.6.xxxx one ?
Thanks
PS: excuses my english
Everything that kernel 3.0 can do kernel 2.6 can be made to do (backported), it was just Linus decided it was time to stop the incremental updates 2.x.x and just move to 3.x already. Otherwise 3.x is just 2.7-ish..just the next step up from 2.6 that is.
thank you for your answer
bye
Where can i find information on all of the different CROMI variants? I just installed CROMi 3.x...and amm now wondering if this is the most evolved of the roks for my tf700. Can anyone advise on this??? Also...If I switch to another cromi rom...can i keep my apps/data without issue???
CROMi 3.x was based on the Asus JB 4.1 firmware and is really old, outdated and will not get developed anymore.
sbdags moved on to CROMi-X based on the Asus 4.2.1 firmware, the latest version - hot off the presses a few days ago - being 5.2.3.
Look for his thread in the Development section and prepare yourself: The thread is 331 pages long (3300 posts and counting) and growing by 2 or 3 every day!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
Read the OP carefully and use the search tool for stuff you don't understand.
You can dirty flash (flashing without wiping anything but cache and Dalvic) to the latest CROMi-X version, but it is not recommended. You may run into a lot of legacy problems if you don't start with a clean slate. You should do a factory wipe in TWRP before you flash the new rom which will wipe your apps, but not your data. It is worth investing the time to clean install CROMi-X. You probably would spend way more time troubleshooting if you dirty flash.
Check out Titanium Backup, use the backup function of your custom launcher if you have one, and restoring your system is a matter of an hour of your time with a little planning and practice.
First thing you have to do though, is update your bootloader and probably your recovery. Check the OP for instructions.
sbdags not only created a wonderful rom for the TF700 but also a very fun community of people hanging out in his thread. Come and join us

Thanks a bunch! This is what I figured after poking around a bit more. The good news for me is, I'm not far into setting up this 3.x CROMi, so a full wipe doesn't hurt so much.
Will CROMIx support 4.3 which seems to be released in some countries over OTA?
CROMI-X is based on Asus stock. So if Asus releases 4.3 then: probably

Hi all,
I've been away from the forum for a long while, and while I've been reasonably happy with my Beans (Jelly Beans) version 14, (Android 4.1.2) it's time to upgrade. The problem is that I am overwhelmed by all the new options. Phone is rooted and baseloader unlocked.
Here are my questions:
1. What is a good fast and stable ROM?
2. What version of Android should I upgrade to?
3. Are there any complicated issues I should know about in terms of upgrading to a new ROM?
Thanks to all of you ROM guru's for your help.

The best way is to read the forums and try them. Most roms explain how to upgrade and there are several how-tos also... Going to close this before its reported even more (we generally do not allow best of etc)...

No don't do it. Aosp kernels are for aosp based roms. Nkd is stock based, you will have to wait for a tw version of KT
Wondering if there is a way to get themes for this new twrp 2.8.2.0 version?
Love this Kernel!
ktoonsez, what Lollipop do you personally use or prefer for your S5?
(that I could use your Kernel with).
lollipop 5.0 touch wiz
Do u know when u will be able to build a kernel that will work on the sprint s5 touch wiz 5.0?
i can confirm that the kernel is working on touchwhiz and fusion rom 5.0 (sprint) with no boot problems or f.c's. etc.. thanks for the kernel
AOSP Lollipop 5.0 VERSION.
I assume your new kernel (above), will work on "[STOCK ROM][5.0] NKD Android L Odexed" ?
That rom is NKD based, your kernel is NL9 based.
I don't see a NL9 firmware we can flash onto our G900P.
Well I flashed:
Touchwiz Lollipop 5.0 VERSION: 01.03.2015
and now I can not connect to the camera with any camera app.
I apply the nightly builds of CM12 every day.
Do I need to re-install this kernel?
What ROM(s) are TouchWiz lollipop that will work on my kltespr? I see new kernels for TW 5.0, but what can I run this on?
Out of curiosity. How do scripts work. Why aren't there any in the shop?

Hey guys,
How do I flash the 09/01 kernel with CM12 20/01?
I've been running CM12 already but having the Bluetooth issues. I've downloaded KT-SGS5-LP5.0-AOSP-G900-01.09.2015.zip but when I go to flash it from recovery it says zip signature verification failed. Do I have to untick the verification?
Thanks.
hello,

I noticed one problem that I think is kernel related, but not to sure. when i open my camera app, it shows blue lines in the photo. i did not have this problem earlier today when I used the camera, weird. any opinion? i am currently running fusion 5.0 on OA6 with

Check out the MOAR FAQ. Yes, you can. You even had the option to install it when you flashed MOAR 6.1.
I just updated to version 9, dated 2/26. However, I'm unable to get any signals..... I had to go back to version dated 2/25.
Any ideas?
Problem with 2-26-2015 kernel - Modem stopped working (Sprint)
On the 2-26-2015 kernel, my phone modem would not connect to Sprint. This also prevented WIFI calling to work as well.
I had to revert back to the 2-25-2015 kernel.
When I flashed 2-26, I wiped dalvik/cache afterwards.
Anyone able to reproduce this?
I flashed 2/26/2015 and the phone was not getting any signal. It said that it kept telling me to insert a sim every time I tried to do something that needed the network. I also went back to 2/25/2015
