I was looking and couldn't find any information if CM12 will be supported for the TF701. Does any of the devs who working on CM11 indicated that they would be working on CM12?
Thanks
Yes, pershoot said he'd be working on it.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
Not a lot of developers on the Transformer TF701t unfortunately. Sad that my old acer Tegra 2 tablet I sold has more being developed for it!
Hopefully we may get a 5.0 upgrade from Acer as I do actually like the stock version. Love the speed and look of Lollipop on my G3 and hope to have it on the tab too.

I feel similar about this also. Hopefully someone can post a very detailed thread on how exactly to develop for this tablet. I am a beginner computer science major and want to try developing during the break, but can't afford to brick this thing since this is my school/work tablet. If anyone could post a thread like that, I could try to put some work into it.

I have the original EEE Pad (TF101) which has great developer support, the KatKiss ROMs is amazing. I can't believe hos smooth and fast KatKiss 4.4.4 is running on that old hardware! The stock ROMs on TF101 was really slow and buggy, and ASUS left it with 4.0.3 when it was just over a year old. The TF101 would be worth nothing today (soon 3 years old) if it wasn't for the great developer community support. With the KatKiss 4.4.4 the TF101 is even better then my TF701 in some aspects. And last month the TF101 even got KatKiss 5.0 which is already on it's 12th release and Android 5.0.1!
If there is no offical Lollipop udate from ASUS, I guess the developer support for TF701 will be even smaller.
I don't think the developer support will grow for this tab anyways.
At least if we can get 5.0 on it I will be satisfied. Shame that such a good tab did not get the attention it deserved. Lack of marketing by Asus and the keyboard hinge problem may have kept it down. Would love to get my hands on a keyboard dock for it but it's still expensive!
Bump!! Any update on this one?
I will probably just go with a Nexus tablet next time since there has been no mention from Asus on continued development. Tried to submit a case to Asus about the battery drain (fixed by removing the nvidia drm plugins). And asked about plans for lollipop update. Received error code so not sure uf they received it yet.
Maybe if severalpeople this we will get some answer.

Anyone want to try it? Please post results if you do
I'll pass.
Wouldn't trust anybody who recommends to use ROM manager on a Transformer tablet....
In addition he says he wrote the tutorial on XDA.
Where?
I don't see a L rom for the TF701 anywhere in the device forum.
If he posted it somewhere else - why not here?
If there is no tutorial - why is he lying?
Yeah, that website spells sketchy all over it to me. Haha. I'm going to pass on Trying to install it unless I see an xda-developers thread on it. Pershoot (cm developer) said in his thread that he is close to done on creating the cm lollipop version but had some unrelated things going on that is taking up a lot of his time lately. He said he was close to finishing it, and will probably upload it soon

Yes. Ever heard of a rom coming in several parts??
Wonder what you would be downloading there. @johnciaccio I would take that link down if I were you....
Also notice the mobile data icon in the status bar of these "screenshots".
It's a big fat lie. We'll get it, but not yet.
Just briefly glanced at it before. Looks like the page was actually written by someone and not a bot. Surprised anyone would go to that extent to to get some clicks.
I have a feeling we won't see a LL release at all on this tab. But maybe we will get lucky and Asus will push a update in 6 months.
There appears to be a lot of l roms coming out for other devixes, surely we must be close to a usable daily driver for this device?
CM12 Unofficial release for tf701t
Hello, there is a unofficial version of CM12 for tf701t here.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3671
It is working great.
I found a thread related to it on XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/orig-development/cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-pre-nightly-t3003092
This is a request thread for developers to port non-Android OSes to Android One devices.
Hello there users and devs of Android One!
Here in this thread, I will put forward the rationale for developers to port mobile operating systems that don't have a robot as a logo to our devices.
Android One is well supported by Google and (somewhat shockingly) MediaTek. Source code can be found on Google's official repositories and as a result, the custom ROM development scene is very much alive. The only thing lacking are the ports of other platforms. We have the install base to test ports (I think), we have CM support (this helps with porting some systems such as FirefoxOS and Ubuntu Touch) and we surely have devs who can do it (you know who you are and I hope that you're reading this).
As for users, please comment down below for what operating systems y'all would like to see on your phones so that we can grab the attention of those heroes behind the screen! Developers can reply to a request directly or PM me if you want to talk. It would be nice if you coders would respond.
P.S. Thanks for all the ROMs and the entire community is grateful for the works you all did for Android One users around the globe! :good:
buy a nexus device and u will have that OS
Android One devices are like cheap nexus devices
The reason many buy Android One phones is to get the vanilla experience for cheap. Some buy it because it's a Google device, therefore, easy to tinker with. Also Nexus devices may not be found easily at retail shops in some countries. That's why I bought Android One. What this thread is hoping to achieve is to (at least) get discussion started on other OSes in our phones. It's very likely that there are people here who bought Android One because of the Nexus-like experience being more accessible.
Will really appreciate the work to port other OS to android One... Hope someone makes that happen
Yes.Can't wait to see another os
FirefoxOS has already been ported to sprout, by Shahidujjaman Khan Anik. He said that he'll make a thread soon.
https://facebook.com/story.php?stor...129499414:2:0:1451635199:-7540004895718870160
Great!
That's really nice! I wanted to try my hand at porting it myself, but I ran into an issue during the build process. Glad to hear that someone was successful in doing so!
Hopefully this is only the beginning of OS diversity on Android One.
P.S. Best of luck to the developer and I'll start testing on my device soon.
P.P.S. I'm considering making a thread for him, is that allowed and could I hand over management and/or ownership to the dev after creation?
Happy to see Firefox OS on android One. Hope to see more of them too
Btw is hike available on firefox OS by any means?

I too will flash Firefox os tomorrow. Someone reported here that Ubuntu touch did not boot, so I'll download that later
quick update
ubuntu touch system.img does not installing.... so I cannot boot it
firefox os boot up and works fine for now,
-camera does not work indeed...
-sometimes random crashes
for me it is not a daily driver for now....
Installed Firefox OS
Bugs
1. Sim 2 does not work
2. Cannot connect to mobile data
3. Camera does not work
As @lzimbrea said, not recommended as daily driver

What about windows ?Did anybody port it?
Cannot compute
Windows mainly runs on the x86 architecture, while most Android devices like ours run on the ARM architecture. Mainstream Windows will not run and Windows 10 Mobile is closed-source; what this means is that the code is inaccessible for anyone wanting to port it. Unless Satya Nadella sees fit to open up Windows source code, this won't happen.
Dear Fellufz,
CM13 Nightlys are officially available. Any chance to bring this to work for this little sweet device? As I can see, there is a Custom rom based on CM12.1 .... Maybe we could build something onto it to make cm13 work? ( at least make it a WiP, nobody needs bluetooth)
Any thought's on this?`
I definitely hope so and I think developers will be getting onboard for this. It is still relatively new to the market but especially at this price point and the black Friday deals, this is flying off the shelves. Its just such a nice little tablet to play and experiment with roms and see how we can push it for great general use. Looking forward to trying various roms on this thing. CM13 can't come soon enough for this.
I'd imagine alot of people will be looking go get it as its only £35 in the UK I don't know what the us price is

No they do NOT. There are only like 4 devices now that get the official nighties all being flagship phones. I doubt this device will ever have official support. It will probably get CM 13...eventually. I doubt that anyone will build it for a while though. There are way too many changes to the SRC as more and more code is pushed to the GIT. When CM official full releases come about, then is the time to expect CM 13.
So android 7.0 has just been released today for Nexus devices (Nexus 6,player,etc) and quite frankly I'm really hyped for it to get released on Samsung phones ( in a year or two xD) or made by a custom rom... So what do you think about it? Leave your opinion here also if there's a rom in the making to android n(for note 4 ofc... 910f/c/ etc..) post its link here. Thank you!
I don't really see features I'm dying to get, but it's always nice to have the latest OS. I wonder if there's any chance that Samsung will release an official (OTA) update for phones as old as the Note 4 and Note Edge. They probably have very little incentive to do it.

I think note 4 has no chance to get android 7 officially
The only hope is custom roms
But devs of cm are busy whit cm 13 and eteam is busy whit dn7 so unfortunately nobody is working on android 7

I know that on xda everyone is always keen to get the latest and greatest, but we all should calm down a bit. 7 is out since a few hour. Some Nexii haven't received the OTA yet and source isn't out. CM already said they'd merge N as soon as sources are made public. I wouldn't get my hopes up though. Naturally Samsung plus AOSP is a bit difficult. I'm sure we'll need to give it some weeks time (considering most of the kernel and drivers of M can be used).
I've no doubt some dev will get us the new shiny thing. :good:
Ans nope, i'm 99% sure sammy won't update to official N. I think the N5 can be happy if they get it... Wait and see i guess
Yes, Android 7 finally looks like something WORTH upgrading to for ANYONE.
looking forward to the upcoming roms...
Samsung said, I will look for source, that they will try to update Note7 to Nougat in 2-3 months, so we cam assume that Note4 is dead in the water.

No hope for me then. I need Knox, so custom roms (and rooting in general) are not an option.
It will be hard to root the n7 haha ?
I hate you Samsung for flooding new devices and yet very slow or no support for a new firmware for old devices.
I do not hope, or think that we will find anything really useful or revolutionary in it. As it never happened, at least not for me. I bought my Note4 with KitKat, rooted it immediately, and flashed an X-Note 4.4.4 and some other custom ROM´s on it. After Lollipop was released, i tried LL stock, and LL based custom ROM´s, i experienced shorter SOT, and almost that´s it. Advantages? Not really. I went back to 4.4.4, X-Note. It was a year ago or so. Two weeks ago something happened with my Note4, i had to reinstall it, so i thought i´ll give 6.0.1 a try. I´m using stock MM for two weeks now, "desperately" trying to find a reason to keep it, but... I like the off screen memo, although i don´t think i´ll use it too much, but the SOT is shorter again as it was with 4.4.4, and battery life proved to be more important than bling bling. So i´m pretty sure i´ll go back to my good old X-Note KitKat again. The MM´s infamous permission management system is bull****, (i couldn´t play Angry Birds 2, because i didn´t give the game a permission to check my photo albums????), so after trying all the available "post-KitKat" systems, i´m really skeptical about the android 7.

For work email and calendar. To be able to access my company's exchange server I need to provide them with insane permissions over my phone, the price of BYOD. When I do it within the Knox environment they are contained to it and cannot access or impact the rest of my phone. Worse case is that they delete the Knox container if they are trigger happy (most likely they're not, but I'm glad Knox allows me to not take this chance).

Its similar to what BlackBerry has on BB10 devices. If you were connected to a "BES server" all the enterprise items are contained in their own "side" of the phone with a password. If you lose your phone and it doesn't have any form of security password, someone could access your personal info, but not the company's. From there work items are separated and then the company can blow away that "work" side if you leave.. Taking their info away from you securely from you and leaving your personal info alone. Works fantastic in a BYOD environment, but most of us here on XDA will never use KNOX
Hi community!
There is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM being mainly developed by @Rortiz2 and @diegocr: https://github.com/LOSMantis
Current ROM Status:
- Not Stable
Not Working:
- Sound
- OMX
- Maybe more...
Developers out there that would like to join development are welcome!...
Notice: This is a WIP ROM. It needs to be compile from the source (build steps could be adapted from the Nexus Player https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fugu/build) if someone wants to try it out. Ready to flash builds would maybe be available when the ROM is more stable. Please do not ask for ETA, it is being developed in the spare time of the developers!

Yes, but full of bloatware, with some blocking mechanisms or black listed apps, no Google Play Store...
We are not allowed to change the home app easily, to use the standard Android settings without Amazon home app, not install already purchased apps on the Google Play Store and so on...
With root you can disable remove the "bloatware", although personally i dont think there is much i dont use. The fireOS TV is fairly smooth and easy to navigate. The android TV version is worse (IMO, I have a NVidea). You can disable the NIMH app, although i have yet to find any app it is blocking. The play store for androidTV is horrible. LauncherX is fairly easy to install. As with tank and sloan, i would expect issues with roms.

Hi Rortiz2,
Why are you so mad about this thread? We did not ask for a working ROM or any release dates and we appreciate all your time and dedication to the project...
As I wrote in the subject, this is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM... Have seen so many threads like this in other forums here on XDA where the ROM only boots but nothing works...
I have created this thread to allow other devs to join the project (if nobody talks about it, than nobody knows that a project already exists and can not help).
But if you would like to do this project alone, just tell me an I will delete this thread...
Best regards,
Michael

I got really excited when I saw this thread. I cannot wait for stock Android for the Firestick 4K. I will 100% donate to the dev's who get this working!!

+1 for a test build, I've got a bricked 4k that boots both the hacked bootloader and TWRP, but whatever image I install has no display...
So I would like to try anything else even if stuff is broken on it (just to see if I can get a display).
thx.

It's at developer's discretion to discuss or release test builds here and considering that this particular rom still has some major bugs (call them deal breakers if you want), then i personally agree with the devs not releasing it yet.
Also, i didn't tested personally, but probably a custom rom like this may also break some features available on stock rom.
This being said, i'm sure that it will be released as soon as the guys behind it will consider it stable enough.
P. S. BTW, thread title is misleading and probably aldo violates XDA rules.

I totally understand and respect that. I did bring up having some kind of developer/user test build done just in case that could help further along getting said bugs fixed by getting catlogs that might help narrow down what is causing the issues. But if the devs feel that doing that would only slow things down (or even not help at all) then I respect that decision.

That's the nature of things when it comes to Lineage OS ROMs (and AOSP in general). Sometimes devs are able to get the ROMs to have nearly all the functionality of the device working... and sometimes not. But I generally prefer Lineage myself due to the overall experience being faster since LOS tends to not have all the bloat that stock ROMs sometimes have - especially Amazon devices which feel so bloated down with garbage I will never use.

Hi Pretoriano80,
As I already replied to one of the devs, I never asked for a release date or ROM for flashing. The title also is marked as WIP (Work in Progress), that means that the ROM is in development and not ready for use...
I have seen that you already made a great job with the custom kernel. Thanks! Would you also like to help this project as it seems it also can use your kernel? Kernel dev with ROM devs would be the best team!
Thanks again to all devs that work hard for releasing new stuff for the Amazon devices...
How's the progress so far?
Looks like nothing much: https://github.com/LOSMantis/android_vendor_amazon_mantis
Too bad !!
dead project ?
I made a test build (with many warnings). Also I used the kernel from @Pretoriano80.
You can download it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=324510
Please note that I couldn't test this out yet, so be careful of what you do. (Will try it out for myself soon)

it's not worth to test since it's a dead project, it would be more usefull to begin a new project developing LineageOS 16 rom , At least we will be able to use the new Android/Google TV UI.

LineageOS 16 won't ever be able to happen for the Mantis version because it doesn't support treble, the most it could do is LOS 14.1 since it's a legacy device.
