ME173X Custom ROM help needed

Hi guys,
I'm not total noob to rooting and custom ROMS as I've been dabbling for about 18 months with my S2 which runs Neatrom Superlite, but I can't for the life of me find instruction I can understand for installing a custom ROM on my Memo Pad HD7.
The rooting was very simple with Framaroot, but it seems the custom ROM is really complicated, the only instructions I've found are on here, the thread is -
[RECOVERY] [ROMs] ASUS Memo Pad HD 7 (me173x) [MULTILANG]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503668[/url]
I've tried following the instructions and followed links and downloaded ROMs and drivers but have got lost!
Many thanks for any help,
Alan.

Did you suceed?
If not, maybe I can be of some help.
I just finished installing a rom using that method.
Your right, the instructions are not clear.

No I didn't, I gave up, but I'm about to try again as this stock OS is so sluggish I've started avoiding using it as my S2 and laptop are much better, so any help would be welcome.

The instructions are very well documented and with pictures.
You only need to unlock bootloader+special memory format one time.
After that just use CWM to flash any rom, backup,etc.
I closed the project due to the lack of respect, and use of my work without my permission, and i warned several times.
Good Luck
Regards

Best performance rom

What is the rom with best performance? I tried a lot of roms and they were a little bit laggy

Easy rooting instructions
I want to install KatKiss rom on my TF101 and was looking for instruction guide for dummies.
For example, how do I "go to recovery"?
And do I download the softwares to my computer or tablet?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Could you elaborate? Have you tried several others ROMs?
I'm currently on Katkiss 5.1 and it just feels a bit clunky (although I have great respect for the amount of work gone into developing and supporting 5.1). I just want something that is smooth for basic browsing, newsfeeds and ebooks. I don't play games on this. So, yes, I might take your suggestion and try 4.4.

I've been running KatKiss for years, I was running the ROM that evolved into KatKiss before that
Read some threads, you'll see how long I've been running them, and how many I've tested
And yes, the reason I suggested 4.4.4 is because the TF101 can't handle anything higher and remain smooth
The ROM I linked to is by far the fastest and most stable you will ever see your TF101 running, period.

Is even faster than the CM9?
Thank you

Why not just flash a few and test, it would be quicker than making posts and waiting days for an answer...

I concur that katkiss 4.4.4 is the most smooth and stable ROM there is for TF101. Except new Google Now crashing constantly, I just uninstall latest Google update. Lolipop is very unoptimized and just runs poorly on the aging device. Will have to see if MM gets better if we ever get one.

I have spent days trying to root my asus tf101.. last night I was working until 3am with no luck. Some of the instructions are so simple its a joke. others are just outdated from 2012/13 when you could still access the app store with this device. I have reached my limitations but will keep trying until it is bricked or smashed. It seems no one actually knows how to definitivly unlock this device?

Thank God I found a little comment on youtube about watching the device manager when you acxtually switch into APX. made all the difference, such a little instruction was the difference between zero and hero. I have used linux for years but kno nothing of apx and flashing roms. this makes bios flashing so simple. AHHHH
Now I know when it is in apx i can attempt to do something? fingers crossed

Hey
What YouTube video / comment. Please post.

No need for video. Just install king root then install CWM from play store then flash with any TWRP and your ready to go.

Hello Rave4d
why install CWM and TWRP both ?
From guides I red :
1) ROOT
2) TWRP
3) KATKISS
I didn't read nothing about CWM!
thanks

Wrong place to ask for help but I will give a few hints to make things easier. Use APX mode with Easy Flasher on a windows 7 computer. Make sure you are NOT using a zip file within a zip file and read all of the information avalible. The TF 101 may be old but it is greatly documented and simple to flash. Damn near unbrickable.

Help with unlocking bootloader?

Everything stock on this thing, 4.1.2. Trying to flash TWRP and try out some ROMs, hoping to speed things up.
Looks like unlocking the bootloader is the first step, but I can't find the file to do it. I've seen mention of something in the play store, which I can't find, and the ASUS site, which I also can't find. ME301T BTW.

Go to =>> TRANSFORMER TF300T GENERAL
In the third line there is a Guide/Tutorial by @djibe89. Everything you need you will find there. There is also an offer for download the ASUS unlook tool. Don' t forget using the thanks button for @djibe89!

Managed to find it on the ASUS site--used the TF300t one, doesn't look like there's one for the Me301t. Now to find a better ROM...

Custom ROM for Nextbook NX007HD8G ?

Hi everyone
I got this nice tablet Efun Nextbook NX007HD8G that has Android 4.1.1 and I wanted to install a custom rom for it but I can't find anything here about this tablet, I have seen a very few threads about it and nothing about installing a custom rom into it.
I'm very beginner in these stuff so if you y'all can help me install a custom rom then I would really appreciate it.

I have this tablet (just got it yesterday. Have you had any feedback yet that hasn't been posted to this thread about the files you provided and the rooting process on this tablet? I'm hesitant to be the first one to try it. Is there a way to test this out prior to actually going through with it? Thank you.

Hey! sadly I'm still looking and still can't find any way to install a custom rom, I don't want to try anything so I won't break my tablet.
As for rooting, well I tried 360 Perm root which works on Samsung Galaxy J1 (2015) but it didn't work on this tablet however I found this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564609
And I'm not sure if it works 100% or not because I haven' tried it yet.

Cant find any support for my device!

Hello, this is my first post on the XDA forums! I've recently bought a tablet, the Asus ZenPad z8s (P00J). I'm looking to give this tablet a second life by installing a lightweight version of Android, upgrading in the process. Searching on Google and there isn't much to work with. Looking at other XDA forums there is the ZenPad 8 and that specific tablet has loads of support. Not sure if they can work interchangeably. Any advice? Please let me know. Thank You!

Already running on Android Oreo, the latest available for this tablet?
