Team Win Recovery Project 2.3, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Tablet look:
CHANGELOG for 2.3.2.3:
-Fixes / enhancements to handle the multiple user setup introduced by Android 4.2 (see notes)
-Fixed a bug with deleting a backup with a space in the name
-Added highlights on keyboard key presses
-TF101: Ignore blkid when mounting /data
CHANGELOG for 2.3.0.0:
-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
-Faster boot times
-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)
While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.
Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.
DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website!
NOTE: If you're coming from another build of TWRP, you may need to go into settings and tap reset defaults to reset the storage paths so that you can see your zip files.
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please acquire a recovery.log - you can do this in two ways - the fastest is "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" right after you have the issue. Alternatively in the advanced menu there's an option to copy the log to the sdcard. Also consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 30 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
We also now back up and restore boot! Yay!
Want to compile yourself?
I'm using this config: https://github.com/ViViDboarder/android_device_asus_tf101
And this kernel: https://github.com/ViViDboarder/android_kernel_TF101
And compiling against CM9 source tree
Further device specific announcements will go here
A few thanks for this specific build:
Roach2010 for helping be me test and find the mystery kernel
RaymanFX for finding a config that worked. Still not sure where he found it yet exactly
And... Dees_Troy and eyeballer for their relentless nagging
first ...
well second lol
So, third ......thanks guys, that's awesome !
thanks, been waiting for this.
great work, i've been waiting forever and finally have this on all my devices and those that I support.
I've been using the other one RaymanFX had built and both are awesome. Only 1 change other than the known issues, would be remove the "Bootloader" button under restart. But just my opinion. Thanks Again.

Good note. That's a theme issue then. I can build a new theme zip or something later. Working on releasing the much delayed Nexus One build.
EDIT: I've been informed by Dees_Troy that we have build flags to do just this. So I'm adding them to my configs so the next build should have them removified.
It's worth pointing out that this build of TWRP has a recompiled kernel with boot and recovery exposed. You can finally back up boot and restore it.
GooManager keeps hanging at Looking for recoveries after trying to install OpenRecoveryScript. Unable to retrieve files...
Finally recovery on a touch screen device the way it should be! Thanks guys!

I thought I would give this a try and went to the TWRP page link as instructed. Followed the instructions to download the open recovery through goo manager, which it did and it rebooted my tablet and all looked good. I then tried to reboot to recovery from Team EOS3 Power menu. The usual TWRP blue curtain was there and when it raised, I saw the text at the bottom that my /data partition was being formatted without formatting /data/media and the tablet rebooted, without ever getting to the TWRP recovery menu and I'm now back at the initial Google setup screen. Guess I should have made a fresh Titanium backup first. A warning would have been nice, or is this a bug?
Strange. But I copped the blob from twrp site as "not recommended" suposedly. Ran the command in terminal cuz I don't Fux with goo manager... Everything worked fine. No issues

Since it's installed now and it wiped my data without asking, I'm going to clear things out and reflash everything. I will test if it tries to wipe my data again after I reinstall a few apps.

Weird. It didn't wipe my data. Just installed nicely as per instructions.
running great with no issues I used goo manager app but i flashed it through the flash roms selection on the main menu not the 3-dot menu install open recovery script selection.

No, I was using RaymanFX's TWRP build prior to this and before that Team Rogue Touch and before that Roach's CWM build, all flashed from within recovery. I only did the GooManager thing because that was the recommended method. Subsequent boots to recovery did not reproduce the data wipe and after reflashing my ROM and restoring my apps, I went into recovery without a hitch. It was only after installing this one through GooManager per the instructions. It downloaded, rebooted and flashed and rebooted back to Android (Team EOS3 JB #57). After a few minutes I rebooted to recovery from the Power menu in EOS3 and as soon as the blue curtain raised it was wiping my data partition - /data/media. Of course, I didn't expect that and didn't get any chance to stop it. I know I read somewhere before that open recovery wasn't working on the TF101, but since this was new and it was recommended to use open recovery, I just assumed that meant it was now working. Oh well, all is well now.
never mind i figured it out, open recovery only works with internal for now.(it may be because TWRP-2.2.1.4 is mounting the micro SD as /sdc instead of /storage/sdcard0) I moved the goomanager folder to /data/media updated the download folder location in the goomanager app settings to /data/media/goomanager re-ran flash roms from the goomanager apps made my selections and order to flash and selected wipe Cache and Dalvik and it ran just fine, it rebooted to recovery, flashed all the zips(including my mods) in the proper order and booted back up with no issues.
Running EOS3-N58 at this time.
Dam sweet once i figured it out!
Great job!
Thanks

I had already flashed EOS3-N58, but had changed some files experimenting with getting Polaris Office to work and gave up. So, I followed your suggestion and moved a few other files that I normally flash along with the ROM and it worked like a charm. Pretty nifty. I setup the order to flash for EOS3-N58, gapps, Guevor kernel, nVidia codecs, iobusy, and DSP Manager along with the preliminary cache and Dalvik cache wipes and it just worked like you say. Thanks. I hadn't tried that feature yet, mostly because until now I thought it might break something since I had read that open scripting wasn't working yet for TF101 somewhere. I can say now, with this recovery and your change to the download folder, that it is working and working well. You just have to have whatever files you want to flash in that folder (or maybe just somewhere in /data/media) and you're good to go.
Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-I5801 with me for past couple of years.
Its current OS spec are:
Firmware version- 2.2
Baseband version- I5801DDJP2
Kernel version- 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2
Build Number- FROYO.DDJP6
My phone has become kind of slow, like for even basic tasks like opening call log or messaging app, it takes good 10-15 seconds. Sometimes it even goes unresponsive when trying to end a call thus causing call to continue thus carrier balance reduction. There are no 3rd party apps installed on it. Even updating the pre-installed apps gives the message of memory being low.
Now my query is:
Will flashing it to a custom ROM will improve its working at least in the basic areas of call and texting?
If so, then which is the most suitable custom ROM?
Is it necessary to root the phone before flashing it ?
Which tool is best/easiest for said purposes?
Please go easy on me, I've been out of the IT and tech game since past 1 year and bit rusty on these things

I would say yes. I don't know what is causing the freezes, but (beside that this could also be a hardware problem) a custom ROM should fix that.
Any GB-based ROM should do a fine job. There are also Froyo-based ROMs for our device. The CM7.2 build by marcellusbe does a very good job.
Nope. If you flash via Odin (Flash-Software for Windows) you just need a usb-connection. If you flash it via recovery, you may need to flash a custom recovery first.

I tried SuperOneClick but it failed to even detect my phone, let alone root. Tried rooting directly through phone by installing z4root on it. It too failed to root my device, just a blue screen saying "Running Exploit" with z4mod logo kept on displaying for 10-15 minutes, after which phone switched off itself. Had to power it back on myself. Tried it couple of times more but no success.
So now if I use Odin to directly flash the firmware to a modded one, would it work, considering the fact that the phone hasn't been rooted. More importantly, would it be wise to do so? Don't want to hard brick the device as its my backup device after my Xperia SP took a plunge in the water and now fails to even boot, just vibrates thrice and that's it.
Update:
Took a leap of faith with Odin and Cyanogen & now the device is rockin' like a grandma with a new hip replacement Lags no more, operation is smooth, but a 2nd minor problem has cropped up.
It now refuses to install any app from Play Store citing Insufficient Space. I changed the default installation space to external but still the problem persists.
Update 2:
For my above mentioned problem, looks like something to do with Gapps but I don't know what it is and what to do about it. Moreover as today I tried to make calls or send messages, I found out I'm unable to do so. The dialler dials after good 2-3 minutes of pressing/selecting the dial option for a number while message inbox is empty but it refuses the receive any sms citing Inbox is full. I thought just flashing the firmware should do the trick but looks like it just was the tip of the iceberg.
You can find the gapps (Google Apps - like Play Store, Gmail, ...) here:
http://goo.im/gapps/
Assuming you're on Gingerbread (CM 7.x) it's this package: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Put this zip-file on your SD card, power off your phone and/or reboot to recovery. Navigate to "Select zip from sd card" -> select your gapps.zip and flash. Then "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvik cache" anywhere in the submenus Just to make sure the gapps get recognized correctly.
Another trick for expanding the internal storage is Link2SD. You need a 2-partition sd-card for this. 1. partition with FAT and 2. one with ext2/3/4
Link2SD will mount this second partition to the internal storage to expand your storage for apps and other system stuff.
You know... Getting the most of a half-dead low-end device needs a bit of geekiness
bad zip
Well I selected erase all data option in the phone which booted it into recovery mode. Here I cleared the cache and the user data. When I tried to install zip file from sd card it gave the following error message, "Can't open /sdcard/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip (bad) Installation Aborted"
What seems to be the problem now?
Update:
Tried again and this time it worked. Now everything is running fine. Thanks a ton for the help mate, can't express my gratitude through words.
I do want to ask one thing here.
If I install this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803180, will the JB experience be coupled with performance drop ?
Honestly Cyanogen has turned me into a junkie, now I want to try on the new but stable mods. Moreover as my Xperia SP is now out of warranty, I'm planning to get it fixed and then root and flash it too!
So I can't seem to be able to load certain kernels or ROMs without either having my phone freeze up entirely (I tried loading LiquidSmooth v2.37 and my phone kept displaying the Samsung symbol for about half a second, shutting off and then repeating this process over and over) or it gets through bootloader animation (on Eclipse v5.1, CM10.2, or Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1) only to show a COMPLETELY distorted and nonfunctional screen-it shows like 3 battery icons, has a huge message saying widgets loading (even though I have no widgets) or clocks and calenders, and is comprised of colors that don't match the theme of whatever ROM I currently have installed.
The steps that I took to get there were:
1. Boot the phone in CWM (version 6.0.4.3)
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Flash ROM (zip file) from external SD card
5. Flash Gapps (zip file) from external SD card
6. Flash Kernel (zip file) from external SD card
7. Reboot phone
All of the files I have flashed have been the most current ROMs/Kernels/Gapps and I've made sure they're compatible with my phone, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on. I'm thinking it might possibly be a hardware problem since it happens with the custom kernels I've tried (I've tried it with BMS 3.4.y and dkp 4.3).
Also weirdly for some reason my root isn't lost but every time I try to reboot my phone from CWM, it tells me that that my root access might possibly be lost and it asks me if it should fix it. I haven't lost my root, but this message pops up every time I try to reboot in CWM. I've also tried fixing permissions in ROM Manager (both to make the message go away and to see if that would allow me to successfully flash a custom kernel-it didn't).
Right now I'm running Eclipse v5.1 with 3.4.56-cyanongenmod kernel (it's the one that came with it), but if anyone can help me figure out what's going on I'd greatly appreciate it. The battery life on my phone sucks-I'm only getting 4 or 5 hours with the GPS and bluetooth turned off, so I'd really like to be able to install some other better custom kernels and ROMs. Thanks in advance!
Just flashed my tf700 with CROMIX and it has made it into a new device. I've now started looking at my TF101 as well. It had pretty much ground to a halt, but I did a reset and it is now running as it was when new (running last stock asus rom). My TF700 was pretty much unusable so the new rom was a no brainer, but the tf101 is working fine, so not sure of the benefits?
Is it worth putting a rom like Katkis (4.3 or 4.4) on? What benefits/downsides will I see? Thanks in advance
In a word, Yes. Very much worth it.
KatKiss gives the TF101 a new lease of life, Im running KitKat 4.4.2 KatKiss #17 and it is a flying machine
I don't use my TF101 much at all, it only comes out when on holiday or ocassional lazy day at home. You don't exactly need a speed demon for music, movies, mahjong, book reading, email or web browsing.
That old saying of - "if it ain't broke don't fix it". But whilst I don't NEED the latest and greatest, the geek in me WANTS to stay at least semi up to date.
There are some dedicated and clever devs out there and I've been happily using KitKiss for just over a year.
Downsides? None that i can think of.
Benefits? A warm fuzzy feeling you've just put fresh life to an old forgotten child that was once your pride and joy.

You should try KatKiss, you'll not know what hit your TF if you're still rocking an ancient ICS ROM
I used megatron, revolution, eos, kk 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4
If you want lots of features/customization go with 4.2 as it has loads of that.
KK 4.3.1 is better than 4.2 IMO but has fewer customization and features.
KK 4.4.2 is the fastest of the three but lacks some customization because it's new.
It also lacks the Tablet UI (only Phatlet UI) that google ditched (I don't care cause I switched to Phablet long ago).
Thanks all for advice. I took the plunge and went with kk 4.4. It ran well, bug i had issues with sd card mounting (now fixed in r18) and also had wifi issues with the connection dropping out. I have now gone to kk 4.3 and am seeing how that runs. Have to say that it is very much a learning experience as previous versions of android have always been asus, even cromix is based on asus core. Never really sure if something is missing, asus specific or has been dropped by google (ie disk mounted icon in. status bar isn't in kk4.3, but is on cromix 4.3).
I will certainly persist to see what happens.
KatKiss 4.2.2 #226 is probably the most stable bug free version so far imo if you're looking for stability over new features, very fast and smooth, I don't remember having any issues with that ROM at all, and it comes with the Tablet UI option
Thanks Detection - I did just that. Got KK 4.4 running and after a few startup issues it seems to be working well. Will try a few other versions. Appreciate the recommendation.
tempted...
I'm on EOS 4.2.2 (whatever is in my sig I think) and it's been working really really well. I'm hesitant to try KK4.4 as things have never been better. I'll hold on a little longer until I feel that desire to tweak is too much to overcome.
If anyone has thoughts to persuade me, I'd like to hear it.
Cool! I was just going to ask for this myself after seeing there's not much activity on the TF101 branch for CM. Trying KatKiss now
Well if you are feeling adventurous, you could install Linux on it and transform it into a fully capable computer instead of just an Android tablet. Currently there is the rootbind kernel that allows you to dual boot
twrp 5.6 from play store
Hi all, (pardon my grammar, i am from the netherlands, aka Holland)
newbie here with tablet flashing.
I have been reading to long and thus to much i guess youtube showed a lot to, to people allready having a base on these things...
So i see many trees, so many, that i can not see the forrest through them.
I downloaded twrp form google play, thats not 2.6, but 5.6 (and called 'manager' this is not the same as the 2.6 version, thats not 'manager'?)
or so
Also i got goomanger , goo.im ? sounds like that.
Dragged (from windows) the downloaded KatKiss-4.4.2_019.zip and gapp something something
in to the root of allready rooted tf101 (that i learned and did in i guess 30 minutes)
started the app : twrp > install > the zip file... nothing. Stop, reboot, still on stock 4.0.3
goomanager, install rom, then appears direct the message "no goomanager folder", seeking for that i did not find where or how the goo manager should be or made, or named.
Also, and logical, much is dated in early 2012 for the asus transformer tf101. So broken links, other tool versions, time alwayss advances.
To bad, not many advanced 'end users' will get to a good start anywhere, all i found was texts from people with to much experience.
To make it short and simple, things like Starting how to's with : flash so you have root. Then download rom X, and flash it with (you name it) and oh yeah, set debugging ON."
I hope someone can direct me to a how to, with step 1 and many, not the ones i found, so for newbies, not for those knowing the base of these things.
I have root acces now.... yeeeee... i do not use these app's, well yes, 2 now, but they did not upgrade my tf101 to katkiss android 4.4.2..

Hi, Twrp manager from playstore is a "manager" for TWRP Recovery using openrecoveryscript. Don't use it to flash katkiss android 4.4.2 coming form ICS 4.03 stock.
At fisrt you have to flash the TWRP Recovery. You can flash it with easyflasher or goomanager (if you're root) : Open GooManager > 3 dots menu button top right > "Install OpenRecoveryScript".
Once you have successfully flashed TWRP, you can flash any ROM you like from TWRP Recovery by booting into recovery
(Volume Down & Power until white text appears at the top of the screen, then release buttons and press volume up once)
Copy the ROM & Gapps to your extrenal SDCard
boot into recovery and, go to advanced wipe, wipe SYSTEM, CACHE & DALVIK CACHE, DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE (not external storage wich is SD card)
Go to the INSTALL menu and find your KatKiss ROM & Gapps (on your external sorage)
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
WIPE menu and wipe only CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
reboot, You should be booting into Kat Kiss now. Enjoy

Wow, thanx for the walk through, i guess i will, if katkiss works, pay you a token of apreciation via PayPal.(if you have that)
Another question, since i do not have a small sd or 'normal size' sd card above 512 MB (and how formatted, fat? ntfs...?) can it be done by wired pc connection?
I have got the win 8 pc seeing the tf101's 'internal onboard sd memory' and offcourse on this pc the mentioned rom's.

Hi, for sd card format to fat32,
If you don't have any sd card you can flash rom from tf101 internal storage, from windows copy kk rom & gapps to tf101 internal storage
reboot on twrp & wipe all except internal storage.
Please have a look here : http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...07-rom-jb-4-3-katkiss-multi-window-tf101.html everythings are explain (the installation for 4.3 & 4.4 is the same.
Good luck

Please have a look here : [ link cut away since i can not post if there is a link...] everythings are explain (the installation for 4.3 & 4.4 is the same.
Good luck

Thanx! Finally i got it working!!, because of your directions and explenation!!!
I now have a tf101, clean as a whistle, with fresh 4.4.2. android rom.
(Some things are still not ok, but that's the rom, like ehhhh pictures library, when pressed the standard app on desktop, it mostley opens and stops, sometimes it works...)
And i want to put a little amount of practical thanx there, if you have PayPal.
Private message me your PayPal email adress and i shuffle some over.
kat kitt 4.4.2. netflix and video
Hee all, a newbie here, i can not replye in the thread itself.
What came into my mind was 2 things, also needed stock after some update of android.
nvidia tegra something...
and arm7. (drivers? codecs?)
perhaps these are missing/wrong ones in 4.4.2 and thus netflix and i.e. utopiatv.nl does not work.

Happy for you
I'm on kk4.4 and it's wonderful, but only thing is annoying me is that I can't put accents with the dock in, I mainly write in spanish, so this is certainly a big issue.
Any tip about how to fix it, I already have the dock layout set to Spanish,so this is not the problem.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
First I want to thank every poster of xda-developers who did his utmost to "keep the TF700T alive". I bought mine about 5 years ago and within 2 years I stumbled didn't use it because it had become terribly slow. Four years ago I stumbled by accident on this forum and came to the conclusion that I was not the only one that was very disappointed by Asus on this machine, ànd I learned that people with more knowledge had been busy to adapt more recent versions of androïd-builds for the TF700T. Two years ago I decided to try to get a new life for the tablet. I found the tutorial of berndblb for installing CROM BI KK (thank you!!) which guided me within 1 day to a clean installation. However, my TF700T still felt slow (starting up 2-3 minutes, slow internet etc) but: I started to understand the proces of unlocking and rooting, installation of a recovery file etc. This made me more confident an yesterday I upgraded within an hour to Androïd 7.1.2 KK Nougatella (thank you timduru!!). I downloaded the indicated ROM-files and used the TWRP-menu I installed for the first update and in no time I had a quick and smooth operating TF700T. Before starting flashing the ROM I did a factory reset. Now there is one issue left: when I go the the Play Store and ask for "my apps" I get the list of all the apps, including the apps I bought (even with the data I bought them and the price I paid) and the remark: 'INSTALLED'. When I close the Play Store it says: "the app will be installed on your device in short time". Apparently Play Store still uses an old data-file; can anyone tell me what I have done wrong, or which file I should wipe to be able to download every app I like to re-install?? Then my TF700T would be as-good-as-new!
Thank you!
You did not format /data before installing the new rom, did you? Just wiped it?
You'll have to start at square one again I'm afraid:
Format /data, convert it to f2fs, then flash the rom again
Thanks!
Indeed I did not format/dat etc. I will do as you suggested this weekend and cross my fingers it will succeed as smooth as the first flash of Nougatella.
I will let you know if it has been a succes.
Hi,
What an interesting post created by hepkeb!
I have exactly the same situation, and of course I forgot to format the /data partition + convert it to f2fs
Thank you berndblb for your helpful advice :good: :good: :good:
So I go back to square one, and cross my fingers

Hello,
It's honey for the soul that I am not the only one that has a crunch for the TF700T, my first tablet and now a toy to do experiments with.
Situation now:
I dit the format etc from the TWRP-menu, and have now a tablet with minimum OS (only 13 apps remained, f.e browser (working, can use internet), email (no accouts left), contacts and photogalery (all empty). When I try to link the tablet to windows10- windows7 or Mac there is no automatic connection established. In explorer or Norton Commander I 'see' TFT700T without any content. When I try to copy or transfer files to the tablet I cannot find the file on the tablet. USB-controller and SD-reader seem to be dead, so I cannot re-install my old OS (CROM BI KK). Is there any hope left for me......?
Oh no - your fun is just starting my friend. You'll just have to go through a crash course here:
1. You formatted data and then reflashed the rom, right??? But obviously not gapps or did you?
Sure everything in /data is empty! You just formatted the data partition! The user data partition is also what Explorer is showing you when you connect via USB cable, so no surprise that you do not see data there.
But why would the microSD card reader be dead??? Which file explorer are you using on the tablet?
Boot into TWRP and go to Install, navigate to external sdcard and check the contents. That's where you should have all your files for flashing btw, not on internal memory where they get wiped. If it does not show you the external card make sure it is mounted under the Mount menu or try a different card. Format on the card should be fat32.
When in recovery you should have an adb connection if adb fastboot are set up correctly on your PC. You can also boot into Android it seems, so you also should have an adb connection in Android. With both you can adb push files from your PC to your tablet to your heart's content! You just gotta learn how! :silly:
But that's what Google is for, right?
BTW, about trouble connecting between tablet and PC: What security software are you running? You may want to shut down your router or unplug the PC from it and then temporarily disable your firewall and virus software. Some of that stuff is incredibly intrusive and blocks you from doing totally legit stuff.

And, guess what? My TF700T is OK! :good: :good: :good:
With the recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-tf700t, KatKiss Nougatella 7.1.2 and the Beans Gapps.
All is functional under Android 7.1.2 :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Small history:
- with KatKiss alone, impossible to connect to Google Play, unrecognized device, etc, even with the Wifi on/off.
- with KatKiss and the Beans Gapps, Google Play is OK but... there is a conflict with the keyboard, it plays a message every minute (the keyboard has stopped, etc)
So, after a try with CROMi-X-ET_v3.0-RC2 (beautiful, thanks again berndblb), which was under Android 4.2 (not good for me), I reinstalled KatKiss and the Beans Gapps with a little change: I deleted the Keyboard directory in the Beans Gapps ZIP before the install.
And, magic my TF700 is functional completely, and as a gift it recognizes my new micro SDXC card (400 Gb).
Again and again, berndblb maybe you are the last one standing here to support newbies on the TF700
You work great :angel:
Thank you one more time :fingers-crossed:
Well, this rom supports OpenGapps, not Beans', so no surprise if parts of it don't work.
And sure, without the gapps package you won't have the Google services framework which is pretty much the base for running G-apps. But I just dedicated one of my 700s as a music/quasi-Alexa device and for that I don't need or want any Google interference or connectivity. Remember that as this device gets even older and software gets resource hungrier :cyclops:
Glad I could help :angel:
Hello,
First I want to thank you very, very much for your support. I must admit that in january I did not have time or energy to start all over again with my TF700T. But now that summer has gone and it has been a rainy weekend
I decided to start again. After reading all the posts in this thread it became clear that in my opinion I had done the upgrade according to the instructions. My TF700T did function on base level (internet OK, visiting sites OK,
Key-board OK etc.) Just problems with access and installing apps from Google Play did not work. I also read your last instructions and only then I stumbled over the word 'gapps' which I only than interpreted as G-apps.
Like you said: thats what google is for: I downloaded the right version of G-apps, flashed with TWRP the file on my TF700T and voila: everything worked! I apologize for not having the right brainwave earlier but a
70-year-brain takes it time sometimes ;<)
I thank you and timduru and I still am very happy with my Infinity! hepkeb
