[ROM][Huawei U8100]Unofficial CM7.1 (Android 2.3.7) [2011-10-05]

Description
A CyanogenMod 7 port made for, and tested on, a Huawei U8100. May or may not work on other U8100,U8110 and U8120 phones.
(A lot of the work derives from all the existing U81xx CM7 ports)
Boots overclocked to 614.4MHz with frequencies available up to 768MHZ (I recommend NoFrills CPU Control for overclocking)
Uses 33% higher AHB bus speeds on overclocked frequencies on 528MHz CPUs (600MHz U81xx phones allready use these AHB speeds)
Allocates 18% of the RAM for compcache (compressed swap in RAM). Can be turned off or tweaked in CMParts.
Sources
Kernel: https://github.com/kalltkaffe/u8160-kernel
CM7 repo: https://github.com/kalltkaffe/android_device_huawei_u8100
Known issues
USB mounting does not work
Wifi and BT coexistance still have issues even with abtfilt in place.
USB tethering isn't working (I think)
Wifi hotspot works but turning it off didn't work well when I tried it.
No FM radio.
Changelog
2011-10-05c: Added "ascend" as a device the install script should accept (it seems many use clockwork built for the Huawei Ascend). Added SIO scheduler, a power profile and a minor change to the camera overlay.
2011-10-05b: Added u8110 and u8120 as devices the install script should accept
2011-10-05: Initial release

For Google apps go here: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ (I use the 20110613 version because the I prefer the old Market but the 20110828 version should work too)
If installation fails then try the attached clockwork recovery (unzip and flash with fastboot)
To install a different recovery you can download one of the packages here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/308985-19may-installing-a-custom-recovery-image-on-your-device/
In the step where you are supposed to run the install-recovery-windows.bat, instead manually flash the attached (and unzipped) recovery like this:
fastboot-windows.exe flash recovery recovery-v5.0.2.3-u8100.img
Then to get out of bootloader mode use:
fastboot-windows.exe reboot

great! i will test it
cannot open any mediafire link ... maybe it's temporarily down.. don't know ...

Links not working...=(

Mediafire seems to be down right now. I'll upload it somewhere else unless it comes back online soon.

Opera gives an error, and the Internet explorer shakes!

Links are working! Mediafire is up again

recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-pulse_mini, an error ...=(

Install the version 5 of clockwork recovery !

recovery-v5.0.2.3-u8100.img how to install?=) please make instructions

You must search this forum for that tutorial. Don't have time to write it now !

You must use my version of clockwork recovery or remove the parts in the install script that checks for "u8100".

Uploaded a new version that should install even if Clockwork identifies itself as u8110 or u8120.

Nevermind mate, i managed to install your version of CW and now it's updating normally ... report soon
---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------
Installed it with no probs, so far i've seen that calibration is perfect and camera with camcorder works without problems... no lag after calls or after camera !
Those are first impressions ... more of them - later

There's a lot of different clockwork versions around and likely yours identifies itself as something other than u8100, u8110 or u8120. Perhaps it's an u8150 or u8160 recovery?

Here is the recovery http://sdl2.4pda.ru/1077680/recovery_clockwork_4.0.1.4_pulse_mini.zip?000fa4fb5e290e934e8c40d400000000e12f292b043a1023183c80f244090f01
Sorry if it is not clear, I am Russian = (

How is the battery life? Is it better then joilaroi's ROM (Huawei U8120 – RC1 - update 14 http://bit.ly/mC77sj )? His ROM would only keep the phone(U8120) running for like 10 hours, due to the camera problem.
If it's better I can use the ROM everyday.

I don't see a camera problem. I tried camera and camcorder couple of hours ago, and there are no problems ... In battery usage, nothing unusual
After a couple of days, we will see the quality of this rom!

The link is broken, please fix this.

Just flashed the zip version of CWM 6.0.1.1.
All working fine as I installed SSrls7 zip and extra icons zip , but like you said the proximity sensor when covered made the screen go black although it came back on as soon as uncovered.
I also previously had Swedish Snow RLS7 with stock kernel.
Original gen1 amold, U.K San Francisco.
All in all quite impressed as this is my first go with CWM 6 and touch based recovery.
Anything else I can do to help.

That was the first version, the one posted originally seems to work fine with gen2 and 3 phones.
I made a new version with the lightsensor turned off and brightness set to 150, this one should work for everyone.

Md sum didn't match the one on the link after download.

Try the new version, the md5 match when i download it.
I'll remove the links to the earlier files soon, the lightsensor goes berzerk on any version of the phone apart from gen3 and even there it doesn't work properly.

Two things :
1. In the mounts and storage menu, there's no "go back" option. You have to pull the battery and reboot to go back
2. There's no option to create an update.zip like you said there was?
Aside from this, love the wallpaper and the touch recovery

1. Yes there is, you just have to scroll down to see it. Almost all menus are scrollable including the "no - no - no - no - yes - no - no" menus to confirm action.
2. go to backup and restore, the option is named "create image zip" it backs up and makes a flashable .zip file from current setup.

Moved to stable.

Hello i own a smartq t30 with a cmw 6.0.1.1 based recovery mode but it is all in chinese. Would anyone be so kind to post the structure of the menus in this recovery. It would be of great help. Thanks in advance

Just look in the clockworkmod github,, it's all in there apart from the touch, you're going to have to work around it and it's not easy.
In short, you can't do that without breaking touch.

Will do some testing on 6.0.1.2, just making a back-up with the stable version. will report back in a bit

Backup and restoring works as expected, formats all work, mount as USB works, hardware buttons work, no flickering, seems all good to me

Excellent, can you try to make an image zip and restoring from that too?
If that works for you as well i'm moving it to RC, i'll probably release a version with no-op as sheduler since it seems to be a whole lot faster for people with sd-ext ext3 filesystems.

[TUTORIAL][GUIDE]Complete Guide to ROOTING, CWM & ROM(s) for LAVA ETAB XTRON+(RK3066)

[TUTORIAL][GUIDE]Complete Guide to ROOTING, CWM & ROM(s) for LAVA ETAB XTRON+(RK3066)
Here is a short review first
| HARDWARE |:-: Talking about the Lava Xtron+’s hardware, the tablet boasts a dual core Cortex A9 CPU with each core clocked at 1.5Ghz and a Mali 400 Quad Core GPU.
Well, for the proof of graphics power, see the benchmarks by fonearena.com ,63.9 fps in nenamark, and the most important thing according to me, RK3066 IS THE BEST LAST GEN GAMING CHIPSET BETTER THAN TEGRA 3...I am a true geek and after searching for 20+ hours came to a conclusion that this is the best piece of android till 12-13k,(except Lumia 520 but it is windows)..
| BATTERY | :-:Coming on to battery, When I opened the battery stats page I find that Cell standby had consumed nearly 60% of the battery.WHAT!? Cell standby is the battery used by radio cells for mobile networks. This tablet DOES NOT have cell radio! The engineers working on this tablet didn't even bother to setup the OS properly and instead chose to simply download Android 4.2, flashed it in the tablet and have put it up on sale.
The Flipkart page reports the battery capacity to be 3,700mAh, which is probably wrong since the official specifications page on Lava’s website reports it to be only 3,000mAh. I can't be sure..:silly:
AIRPLANE MODE IS NOT COMPLETELY WORKING DUE TO DEFECTIVE DRIVERS (CELL RADIO DRIVERS ARE PRESENT IN THIS TAB SO IT SEARCHES FOR DRIVERS CONTINUOUSLY AND FUC*S BATTERY UP!:crying There is a fix in the post
| SCREEN |:-:The front of the Lava Xtron+ holds a 7-inch sharp IPS LCD display having a resolution of 1024 x 600. It’s a bright screen and with a pixel density of 170 PPI, it is pretty sharp too. The best part about the display is that, despite being an LCD screen, it’s not a battery consuming monster. I always found its battery usage to be lower than processes. The screen is prone to scratches though and is highly reflective.
We can enable the biggest advantage of PC gaming in android now, i.e 4xMSAA in deveoper settings, makes gaming experience even better than tegra 3

Before starting i would say that i am not responsible if any guides here bricks your device ( it should not happen at all if u follow all steps properly as the chances of permanent brick of rk3066 is very slim but boot loop is a possibility) I made this thread to collect everything I've done in one place. This should make everything very straightforward and basically most probably n00b-proof.
| ROOTING | :-:
Pre Requisites-Working drivers (if not then no problem), OEM USB Cable, LAVA ETAB XTRON+, 2 windows apps and PATIENCE
{Screen shots of important steps is in the attachements}
(i) For Drivers download and install moborobo
HTML:
http://download.moborobo.com/download/Client/Moborobo(Moborobo_En_official).exe
(ii) In tablet go to in Settings >developers options and turn it on and enable USB Debugging & before connecting it to your PC go into the tab's
settings again and click on storage.In it you will find 3 dots in top right hand corner.> USB computer connection >Enable Mass storage
Note: DO "NOT" TURN USB STORAGE "ON".(When Connected to PC)
Note: Remove your external SD card before rooting.
(iii) Connect it to your PC and click on refresh and install/find drivers and it will download and install them..(there might be a security warning
about force install) Now, it may not recognize the model no, IMEI and other things and say that the device is JB7+ but the only thing you
should look for to make sure it is the right device is the total size and usage of internal Memory and NAND Flash..
(iii) Now drivers are securely installed and the tab is connected in the right way (there is no OEM (LAVA) drivers anywhere)
Download the zdm (Chinese software) in the attachments (For Every Step first see the screenshot)
Note:IT MAY INSTALL SOME USELESS SOFTWARE ON UR PC AND TAB , BUT IT CAN BE UNINSTALLED.
(iii)) When it detects the there will be something written like this in the bottom right corner :??ROOT : ONE or something like that (not in screen
shots as the tab is already rooted ) but it must be in green colour.This is the confirmation that the device can be rooted.
(iv) Now click on the Root Button in left hand side
(v) Click twice on green (thingy) first where it says ROOT then again for the confirmation popup (says something else but in green box)
(vi) Rooting Process has begun and the tab will restart (my PC is quite fast so it was almost instantly restarted and the Super SU was flashed it may or may not take 2-3 mins)
Note:IT WILL INSTALL SUPERUSER , WHICH IS OUTDATED BUT BEFORE DOWNLOADING OTHER SUPERUSER APP , USE THE ONE PRE-INSTALLED TO UPDATE SU BINARY.
DEVICE IS ROOTED WOOT! WOOT! you can also check by using Titanium Backup or root checker.
Mod Edit: Rooting method also described by Mohd.Anas here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48776299
How to fix battery:-:
Get root explorer open system/app and rename phone .apk and telephonesomething.apk to phone.bak and telephonysomething.bak, you are good to go..
Also, you should change the WiFi scanning interval to 500 I.e 5 min as you really just require one scan when connecting to a known network..change the wifi supplicant scan interval to 500 build.prop
| CLOCKWORKMOD CUSTOM RECOVERY (GENERIC RK3066) 6.0.3.1|:-:
There are 2 methods one is tested by me(both are the same recovery created by the famous user "fun" at androtab.info), it works on our tab because when I opened the kernel.img with a hex editor (like Neo Hex Editor) the first line started with "KRNL" so I have a dedicated kernel in the kernel partition and I can just use the generic CWM. You can also follow this procedure just to be sure..make a online nandroid backup find kernel.img and open it up in pc in hex editor..
(A)METHOD TESTED BY ME
(i) Firstly you have to get the arctools apk,either by registering at their forum..
HTML:
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/arctools-application/clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-easy-install-on-rk3066-and-rk3188-devices/
(ii) Click on download and select RK3066 CWM fun androtabinfo 6.0.3.1, there is only one option like that so it may or may not be in order.
(iii) Afer downloading click on install apps give i superuser permission and Voila! CWM.
(iii) You should also see the log right in the middle of the apps to verify that the flash and push thingy worked correctly with no errors
(iii) Select Reboot to recovery or Turn the tab off and press power button+vol up and the recovery should open
YEAH! YOU NOW HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR TAB
(B)METHOD NOT TESTED BY ME
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/
(i) DOWNLOAD RK30GENERIC_CWM.zip from
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/
(ii) Here are the different ways to flash this zip file
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/install/
|CUSTOM ROM(s)|:-:
There is only one ROM which is worth flashing and even that might be slightly buggy..
Well, I don't recommend to flash a custom ROM here as they may have bugs like Wifi still if you want the following features
Auto Install Feature: This allows you to install apk's automatically on first boot, if you have the apk files located in a folder named autoinstall on your external SD card.
HTML:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?8910-Auto-APK-Install-Feature
Rooted with SuperSU
Debloated of all Lava bloatware
Google Play Store tweaks added to improve availability of apps
Init.d support
Busybox support
English language default (all other languages are still supported)
Boot screens by Tattman65
Flash Tool by Finless
Reboot app by Petrus
Here is Lava Xtron+ RileyROM 1.1
HTML:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?10688-Lava-Xtron-RileyROM-1-1
Complete flashing procedure in extreme detail is in the ROM zip file (it is a PDF file named first time user guide , very helpful)..Personally I have not flashed the ROM as I don't think it is worth the hassle and possibility of no Wifi...
PLEASE CLICK ON THANKS IF I HELPED YOU, IT REALLY MOTIVATES ME!:highfive:

Thank you.. I was waiting for a method to crack this tab.. Will comeback with result.

Ext4 support
Can somebody tell me if ext4 is supported or not, when i try link2 sd it says not supported but I am pretty sure that the system partition itself is Ext 4, (I'm the one who made the guide)

Try ext3. It will be supported.

Click to collapse
Well, I have tried it there are some problem in link2sd, but according to an nandroid the system and data are ext4 , I have set up everything in ext2 and would hate to do it all over again, is there a way to verify support of ext 3 or 4 acc to wiki, kernel above 2.6 support ext4 and the kernel here is 3.0... One more ting, when I tilt the tab, I think that something heavy is moving around inside slightly, probably battery should I ask for a replacement? I have 4-5 days remaining I bought from flipkart, I do have a complete SD and nandroid backup..
EDIT: in d/tracing events ext4 there is a file called enable and the value inside is zero should I change it to 1
I think I found out the culprit, the first partiton that I tried was ext2 so link2d created a script for that..now, when I try to use ext3 or 4 ..it still tries to use that same script..so I willl delete the script then try again...

Successfully Rooted..! Sorry for the delay..!

Alright I know this is a stupid question but..Does it continue to scan when it is connected to a WiFi network..I have also disabled the network norification and enable WiFi optimization...and thanks for the tip..ideally you should only turn scanning on when you want to connect

Alright I know this is a stupid question but..Does it continue to scan when it is connected to a WiFi network..I have also disabled the network norification and enable WiFi optimization...and thanks for the tip..ideally you should only turn scanning on when you want to connect

Well you are familiar with cwm or do you even have it installed, if you do then just go to install zip from sd card and select the zip file...secondly if you have a cwm nandroid backup (recommended) just go to backup and restore select resotre or restore from externel sd and then select the date of the required backup file then click restore..If you do have a cwm nandroid backup then it MUST work...if you don't even have the recovery then, ist step is to install it through THE guide then, try to do the ist (not recommended) option...

I have cwm installed on my tablet but i dont have stock rom of lava xtron plus

Did you make a nandroid cwm backup before flashing ROM?
Also can you make the account as soon as possible

Then just take a backup of the ROM you currently have installed (I think Riley) and if the CM doesnt work out, revert back easily..:good: Post your results here

[APP]Simple Recovery Switcher

I made this app because I got sick of flashing stock recovery when a GPE OTA came, and then flashing back to a custom. I also wanted to cut my teeth on Android App Development so here it is. My first app..
This SHOULD work on any device that uses the /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery structure.
I have tested it on the HTC M8 and the OnePlus One
You MUST be rooted and have busybox installed:
You MUST place a stock recovery img and a custom recovery(of your choice) img onto your INTERNAL sd card. Name them stock.img and custom.img (case matters)
Run the app and then press whichever you want to flash stock or custom and that's it.
This is my first app on google play and my first app ever really and I still have a lot of learn. Don't expect anything fancy. I did this mostly for myself to save time of manually having to flash the files and as a learning experience.

It's not possible. The only way you can flash a recovery on a non-rooted device is through fasboot (if your bootloader is unlocked) If you're using an app to flash a recovery then it needs to run a command that can only be run on rooted devices.

[Q] Massive freezes and hangs on Lolipop.

I'm experiencing huge lag in certain parts of my tablet. I managed to get most working again after flashing every img (rom, boot, recovery etc.) to the device upgrading it the latest version. But there is still lag at certain times. Most of the device runs fine except when: coming out of a deep sleep. The entire tablet lags for about 5 minutes. Opening and using Chrome. Once open the lag stops but random hangs occur mainly when typing. It also hangs for about 10 sec when highlighting things. It makes it almost impossible to highlight anything because it constantly freezes. Does anyon know what might be causing this lag and how I can fix it? My tablet is on the stock rom at the latest version and is rooted. It also has TWRP.
EDIT: it also sometimes doesn't even come out of deep sleep at all. It just doesn't turn the screen on no matter how many times I press or hold the button. I just have to force restart it.

There are many threads about this type of behaviour in our devices, so I'm sure a quick search will give you more information than I can. Have you tried any custom ROMs at all, or do you require the stock controller compatibility? From personal experience, it's not the hardware's problem. Moving away from stock was a huge improvement, although I never personally ran into the kind of laggy behaviour you've described, only occasionally dead screen on stock.
I wonder, since you're still on stock, could you set the auto-shutdown timer to something like 24h and see if that helps your deep sleep lock issue? Before moving to custom ROMs, I've tried that on my stock 2.2.1 and never had an issue with the screen getting stuck.

The screen getting stuck is only something that happens after not using it for an hour or so. Isn't that when android goes into a sort of deep sleep to save battery? I've never tried custom rom on this tablet (but I have had a few and am currently using cm11 of my note 3) because I don't want to lose the features that nvidia adds such as the recording and game stream etc. Unless that is ported to the uno cm 12.(i prefer cm over anything else usually.) also don't want to have to wait for mod developers to add the latest updates from nvidia.

I don't know about screen recording/streaming to twitch directly, but the nvidia hub does appear to work just fine.
As for the black screen issue, I'm no expert but I've come across this kind of stuff while overclocking. Black screens and system hangs are usually some combination of improper voltage control and frequency. If the deep sleep state is hanging, I'd try a custom kernel so you can control the voltage and frequency table yourself. Maybe tweaking those could help you stay stock without the dead screen issue.
Have you tried limiting the background processes (developer options) to 4? Might help with the laggy behaviour. Also, if you come across any helpful info in your searches, feel free to link to those here; I'm sure people would like to know =)

I dont mean streaming to twitch I mean local streaming from my PC. I also fixed chrome by increasing the ram from 64 to 512. I also clearred the dalvik cache and it seems to be running a bit better but Ill have to investigate further. Also had a few random reboots after wiping dalvik cache

Random Reboots now
Most of the freezing is gone now that i have wiped the Dalvik Cache. Even the problem of it not coming out of deep sleep properly. But now its randomly rebooting at least once or sometimes twice an hour. What's causing this problem now?

I know this thread is getting stale, but essentially I just want a rom that keeps updated with the latest version of android, but also keeps nVidia's features. That's the reason I chose this tablet over the Nexus 9. That's why I like CM, but the nVidia features are holding me back and i'm tearing my hair out with the lag.

Use the full ota zip from nvidia, I recommend using cwm to flash but it can be done adb as well. Your issues are coming from the update itself. It's like dirty flashing. I had the same things as u. Went into recovery (cwm) wiped boot system data and cache and dalvik cache, flashed the official FULL OTA ZIP. boom just fine again on lp. Though it's still slow as hell compared to bliss rom with BitO kernel. Just no console mode or support for nvidia controllers. Personally I use an ipega 9023 controller, I always thought 60 bux for a controller that doesn't hold onto my tablet useless. Twitch, casting, all that is better on custom rom. Games really fly. Nvidia really messed up on stock. Maybe ota 4 will fix it lol

Thats exactly what I did. My tablet came with version 2.0 (Lolipop 5.0) and I was told by the guy who wrote the post with all the stock roms, to flash all the partitions using the download. I did that and the tablet was a lot better then before, but still extremely laggy and freezing. I also have to always have it on high performance otherwise its unusable.

Guys I'm sorry, I don't really have answers about how the freezes and stuff can be fixed on Lollipop but if there's a rom running better I'm willing to try it I think. Can I ask you something? Does DirectStylus work right on non-stock roms? And if yes, please suggest me some roms that worked nicely for you ^_^

I just had to abuse myself for a week, on straight stock, no root. The shield was unusable. It just pissed me off all the time. Couldn't even get it to write to external SD. At all. Finally achieved root with kingroot (I don't have a pc) and flashed back to custom. I'm not sure how this device even sold. Other than the name (that's why I got it tbt) I'm an nvidia fan for over 18 years. But the stock shield is an afront to my good sensibilities! I may have invented a couple new 4 letter words. Lol
Anyways, STYLUS DOES WORK on custom roms. All day long. The stylus shortcut app that pops up is gone. Dabbler is in the play store. No shield controller support though, hopefully not too far off, it is being worked on hard! I use an ipega 9023 Bluetooth and find it works better without the gamepad mapper from nvidia, ANOTHER screw up by nvidia, that damn mapper hasn't worked for maybe 1 in every 15 games I try it on. Even mapping it myself, most times it just don't work.
But try the Temasek build by @BitOBSessiOn it's truly sweet. And just WORKS!

I've only used stock so far which seems good but not half as good (and speedy) as I expected it to be after my dual core Kindle Fire HD, so it might be the stock rom.
Could you please provide me with a link for the rom you're talking about?
Also, how's battery life on that rom? Better or more or less the same?

Here's the link to bitobsessions rom. It's built on cm12.1 android 5.1.1, with a built in custom kernel. You can clock the cpu down from 2.2ghz to 1.8ghz and it's still faster than stock. Plus all the custom rom goodies. I'll add more posts here in just a sec. To get you through the install if you need. Not sure of your knowledge base but I can walk you through rooting, custom recovery and rom install. But here's the link to the rom.

Can we Install recovery with Flashify if we havn't unlocked bootloader before?
Thank you for your help mate.

Yep sure can! I unlocked mine just because, but it really isn't necessary. I think it has to be unlocked to use adb (android debugging bridge) on a pc to do it with the (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) command. Flashify is kinda like unlocking the front door by going through the kitchen lol to be honest, your internal memory is broken into partitions just like a pc. But instead of c:/ being the first or root directory, on Android it's simply / all android is, is a very small Linux computer. So... Where recovery sits is simply /recovery as a partition. Where roms install is called /system info is saved to /data and finally /cache is where prices of apps sit to be accessible.
Root gives your current android system access to ALL files on internal storage, or, access to the "root directory" hence the term root. =) where normally as a "user" you can only read those files, "superuser" or root, can read and WRITE to the root files. And change them.
Unlocking the bootloader gives you access to those files remotely from a pc. Some other things too, but that's the skinny

After you get up and running on custom rom, I'll hook ya up and walk you through installing viper4android audio. If you haven't heard of it. It replaces the stock audio driver and eq, and makes beats audio look like child's play

Wow, that's a whole lot of links! Thank you!
Ughhh, if I'd only known that Kingroot could root Shield running 2.2.1 without unlocking the bootloader this last weekend! *sigh* I sat down and unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and SU last Sunday... *sigh again* Well, it's ok I suppose, I was hoping not to have to do it even though I know Nvidia says it only MAY make my guarantee void... (To be honest I had my Shield replaced last week and they didn't seem to check anything, they had me ship my old tablet to someplace in Netherlands and the next day they shipped back to me a replacement from the UK, so I doubt they even took a look other than to see that the tablet was really in the box) But anyway, the point is that I had made my research (which I realize is a little outdate), and everyone said that you can't root Shield with Lollipop without unlocking the bootloader so I went through the bother to do it.
Wait, with MultiRom you can run a rom from the external SD too? I was considering giving it a go but since each rom needs every app re-installed I was like... hmmm 16GB of internal storage ain't enough, absolutely not... I'd like some more info about MultiRom if you have the time and are in the mood to write to me about it ^_^
Also, in BitO-K what's the difference between the simple version and the one saying Temasek? Also which Gapps do you suggest? There's a long list in there... (I don't really have to save space so it's ok if it's a large package, I don't want a mini just for it to take less space, I want the most stable one.)
In general I have quite a lot of experience with rooting and TWRP as a recovery (although I've never used CWM, it seemed so primitive with the volume button navigation thingie >.< ) but I still haven't understood a couple of things. 1) When I do a full wipe, which partitions do I wipe? 2) Also, I used to have a device with no external storage so I never had space to backup my whole ROM, only my app data, so if I want to do a full backup from TWRP, which partitions do I have to backup?
Damn I just read your comment again so ignore question 1) >.< You're one step ahead of me

So don't feel too bad mate, the kingroot that works for us is less than a week old....
Firstly here's a link to delta droid gapps, I've tried ALOT of the gapps packages, and this one has been perfect for me. All the Google services work, (ie voice search, play store reviews, and it supports all dpi devices, so it can be used on any 5.1.1 rom)

Finally, I would recommend NOT playing much with the multirom thing right now, they are finding some issues currently with mounting the external SD card for booting from multiple roms right now. But it doesn't affect single rom use at all. And when you do a back up with twrp, it does it automagically, you just tell it where to save it, internal or external. Oh, additionally, yes the gapps is very small, I do look for the smaller ones, but functionality and stability are key, this is the only one I recommend, it just works right, ever since TRUE pagapps stopped being made I've played merry blue hell finding one that worked. I finally found delta and haven't looked back. Also, this is a biggie for me, and I don't THINK they have altered this yet. All apps get updated obviously, but user apps are in a different place than system apps. And when they are updated they retain an old copy ALWAYS. User apps, when updated only keep the current apk for backup. System apps used to keep a copy of all updates done. So far as I know it still keeps the original if it updates for a fall back, when you see that a gapps package is 450 mb. That means after each app has updated once.... It's 900... Updating user apps doesn't increase the space taken unless the app gets larger. Gapps all install as system apps, thats why u need the search add on. The Google app can be installed from play store, but voice search won't work totally. Ie it only works from the Google search app, this way voice search from any screen will work! =)

So don't feel too bad mate, the kingroot that works for us is less than a week old....
Firstly here's a link to delta droid gapps, I've tried ALOT of the gapps packages, and this one has been perfect for me. All the Google services work, (ie voice search, play store reviews, and it supports all dpi devices, so it can be used on any 5.1.1 rom)

Here's the link from that delta thread for the gapps base package you will need for 5.1.1

You will also need this search add on,

It gives the Google search app for voice searching. The OK Google thingy. That's all really small. It only contains the base gapps and services, play store, sync, etc, plus the Google search app. All other Google Apps you can get from play

OK now. BitoK is his custom kernel, temasek or BitoR is the custom cm12.1 cyanogen mod rom. It contains his custom kernel as well.

Finally, I would recommend NOT playing much with the multirom thing right now, they are finding some issues currently with mounting the external SD card for booting from multiple roms right now. But it doesn't affect single rom use at all. And when you do a back up with twrp, it does it automagically, you just tell it where to save it, internal or external. Oh, additionally, yes the gapps is very small, I do look for the smaller ones, but functionality and stability are key, this is the only one I recommend, it just works right, ever since TRUE pagapps stopped being made I've played merry blue hell finding one that worked. I finally found delta and haven't looked back. Also, this is a biggie for me, and I don't THINK they have altered this yet. All apps get updated obviously, but user apps are in a different place than system apps. And when they are updated they retain an old copy ALWAYS. User apps, when updated only keep the current apk for backup. System apps used to keep a copy of all updates done. So far as I know it still keeps the original if it updates for a fall back, when you see that a gapps package is 450 mb. That means after each app has updated once.... It's 900... Updating user apps doesn't increase the space taken unless the app gets larger. Gapps all install as system apps, thats why u need the search add on. The Google app can be installed from play store, but voice search won't work totally. Ie it only works from the Google search app, this way voice search from any screen will work! =)

Yeah, it's a bummer. I got my device back from service and I was like... ok, this time I'm not holding back, time to finally root! (I did root my first device while it was still in KK to restore some game backups but then I wanted L so I upgraded and lost root and tried to be patient). Heh, never mind though, I have root and a recovery so that's all that matters now ^_^
Cool, thanks for the gapps! Oh, I need just one last bit of help because I'm confused. So I go to the xda post for the rom and there's this: BitO-K/KLX CM-12.1-Temasek (LTE EU/US & WIFI) I dunno where to go after I click on that... Do I choose the 11.6 folder? Is that the latest version? And then? Is the right zip for the wifi model the one that ends in "wf"? I never had such issues before because they used my tablet's name (tate) so I always could tell I had the right one...
Oh and about the backup through TWRP... so I should just choose the partitions that are checked by the recovery without messing with anything? I think it leaves boot and something more uncheched, I can check for sure when I get back home.

Md5 is the digital fingerprint for a file, there is also one called sha as well, same thing though. After your download finishes, look for the md5, it's a string of numbers, usually near the file name or download link. Install that md5 checker, then after the file is done. Copy the md5 numbers to clipboard, open the checker, click at top where it says choose file, navigate to the file and select it, then hit the paste button then the check button. Both strings of numbers should turn green.

Ah OK the model name has gotten a lot of people to scratch their heads. Nvidia hasn't made it easy for us much. The lte is called wx_na_do, and the WiFi is called wx_na_wf. Also there is wx_un_do that's international lte, although I beleive all lte models are unified. The WiFi is the same worldwide

And I just checked twrp backup. The only thing it doesn't back up is /cache and it gets rebuilt anyway at boot if it's been wiped. So no worries.
