[Q] CM on TF701

The only thing stopping me from buying a TF701 is some kind of confirmation that someone will port CM to it. I keep searching the thread and I haven't seen anyone saying they will do so, the only rom I have seen notice of is cromi-x.
Did anyone see somewhere else a confirmation that it will get CM, even if it is not an offical port?
Thanks!

It is simply too new for it now.
Tablets that are delivered suffer from the bad connection issue so overall most of current users (me too) won't even have it unlocked to be sure the warranty can kick in when necsessary.

Exactly this

Yes I read the reviews for the dock and I know many people are having problems. Frankly the dock is not very interesting to me, the TF701 is just the most affordable tablet with all top specs right now. I've been rocking a HP touchpad with CM since CM9 so I think I deserve a little upgrade
In fact it looks like the Asus UI is pretty much stock android (nothing like touchwiz or sense) and considering the few differences between 4.3 and 4.4 on tablet i might not root or flash roms (once that's possible) on my TF701 for a while.
Where I am more concerned is for the long run, OEMs rarely update their devices past 2 android version updates, so if there is no support for CM for the TF701 then it means the tablet will probably not be getting Lollypop and Marzipian etc

[Q] Order of Operations

Hi all,
So I've been around for years and have rooted/rommed everything for OG droid to my nexus 7. This seems a bit different though so I just wanted to clarify order of operations:
1. Unbox and charge.
2. Take OTA updates
3. Unlock using the apk
4. Fastboot CWM in (i'm seeing different versions on different places but i am hearing stability issues)
5. Flash that new 4.3 rooted rom if i want it?
Or perhaps ignoring the ROM (no offense)
4. Root the device
5. Flash either the US or WW firmware. I'm not sure which I want though most people are mentioning WW.
5. Wait for a kitkat rom.
I'm not sure why i find this device more confusing but maybe it's just the long list of files on asus's site. Genrally all i want is an unlocked/rooted device until kk is available.
Thanks,
Larry

You got it right with your first scenario.
Latest CWM version is 6.04.6 and I have not heard of any problems with it.
sbdags rooted stock rom may be a nice interim while you wait for him to release the first CROMi-X version for the TF701. Won't be long - knowing him, max a week
pershoot is working on a CM rom and my guess is that would be kitkat. He posted today: "Won't be long"
There are different stock firmware versions for different parts of the globe (called SKU): US is north America, TW = Taiwan, WW = Europe etc.

step 1-5 works

Looks like Amazon has stopped selling the dock until only the working version is being sold. Black eye for Asus on a crappy dock. I'll get it for the battery eventually.

Couldn't stand it anymore - being on the outside looking in on the party.... Ordered my TF701 4 hours ago, should be here on Wednesday
Ordered just the tablet though... I'll give them a couple of months to sort out the mess they created.....

Nice one. You'll love it

Well I'm now unlocked at rooted (using the simple root flash technique). I'm a little hesitant to install a 4.3 rom though I may try it. I may just hold out for kk from CM, carbon or cromi once it's out But to be honest coming from a non-asus background i've never heard of cromi so maybe i just need to crack flash it

C-ROM-I comes from CleanROM. I inherited the project from scrossler who maintains the CleanROM series on other devices. Anyway I originally called it CleanROM Inheritance as I couldn't think of anything better. This got quickly known as CROMI for short. I developed it to work on the TF700/TF300/TF201 and Asus Nexus 7 series. All was well and then Asus released their 4.2 update for the TF300 first. I wanted to keep the old CROMI project for TF700 users but wanted to start something new so CleanROM Inheritance - xenogenesis was born as CROMi-X for short became a mix of TF300 and TF700 firmware updates as Asus released them and also incorporated TF300TG and the newer ME301T device firmwares as well
Now it's a pretty well known brand in Asus world it would seem Oh and we also have the younger brother miniC (ala mini-me from Dr Evil fame) which is the very lite version of CROMi-X which was a bit of a mouthful saying mini-CROMi-X so miniC was born
History lesson over.

Oh I'm sorry about that, no disrespect intended I hangout/work with the OSE developers and we were all just stumped on what this was. So what's the story with kitkat development on the 701? A huge annoyance with the tegra hardware? Now I'm MUCH more inclined to throw CleanRom (derivative) on my tablet. I need to find any rom that can handle the battery usage of such a huge screen.
Anyhow, Sorry about that, didn't mean to sound belittling.. I've just been in the moto/samsung/nexus world You'd think the Nexus 7 world would have tipped me off to CROMI but i stuck to most of the stuff the gang was working on.

Nice history lesson. Being new to Asus devices, it would be useful if the above text was near the top of your http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49436186 thread, so that people new to this can see where you are coming from.

Android Lollipop

Hello good people. Doesn't anyone know if the TF701 is getting this upgrade?

We can hope so but I've not seen anything official from Asus.

Highly unlikely imo but you never know. We are approaching the 18 month point that marks the end of official support.

So that means soon we will be in month 14.

I feel like Asus abandoned us
I've been holding off putting a third party ROM on my TF701T as Asus had been good about updating other tablets. But I feel like their crappy docking hinge caused lower sales which makes them care very little about this particular product. My guess is we aren't going to see Lollipop officially. Good things there is active development going on.

He (pershoot) has said it a couple of times in his CM thread that he was going to make a lollipop rom, but it was a while ago, and I assume most people forgot about it or something.

Good news, pershoot released an unofficial cm 12 (android 5) port for tf701t yesterday

I've just installed it via cwm recovery.

While I don't want to raise false hope, I just want to share one special brochure made by ASUS Singapore, indicating that there might be a 5.0 update for the tf701t. http://pricewatch.vr-zone.com/itshow/pricelists/view/ASUS7

I just got two updates in the last to days. They usually put out updates before they do a major upgrade like lollipop so I take this as a hopeful sign.

No, these weren't just app updates they were system updates. Got to watch the android dude a little bit both times. After the first my background changed after the second the pulldown changed. Still on 4.4.2

While I was in contact with ASUS support I asked about Android L to the TF701T. First they said that they had no info, but later I got a reply, where they said that the had contacted the RD-department and that ASUS have no plans on releasing Android L for the TF701T.
We can onlu hope that this info is incorrect or ASUS change their minds. They havn'nt made any offical statement at all regaring Android L to tablets, have they?

It doesn't surprise me as we are approaching 2 years. ASUS don't really release updates beyond 18 months. All their latest transformers seem to be using Intel chips for Android as well.

Lollipop for the G Flex

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure no one has seen me in the G Flex section. I did work for the M8, G3 etc back in the day. I just picked up a G Flex the other day with T-Mobile excited to put Lollipop on it. Came home and searched the threads to see there isn't lollipop for it nor is there any AOSP ROMs for it. I understand the issues behind it but I just wanted to say these issues doesn't prevent ASOP running on our G Flex. There's still possibilities. I came from the ZTE Zmax, and we had 1 dev working on our phone and got CM12.1 up and running with full stability in a month. I read somewhere that LG confirmed that the G Flex will NOT get lollipop because of some issues that was causing it to be buggy. LG basically stalled development on the G Flex until the 18 months that Google gave as an requirement for Software updates was over. The 18 month period for the G Flex ended back in May. So LG basically used that as an excuse to not update our phone, which is very stupid and it sucks but we have developers in this community that are smarter than LG Devs. We don't need a kernel source to build a functional kernel, even though a source would help tremendously. The ZTE Zmax, ZTE Awe ($30 phone), LG Tribue ($40 Phone) are all running CM12.1 with no kernel source and locked Bootloaders. For sensor and Audio issues you could simply TRY and use libs from other devices that compare like the G2. That's what the dev for the ZTE Zmax did. I see development started for lollipop but ended months ago. I also see a couple people working on CM11 and others quietly working on their own CM12 build. I'm not here to criticize, because I know this kind of stuff isn't easy. I'm just simply giving advice on something that may or may not have been tried yet. It's been almost a year since lollipop launched and you would expect a Flagship device to have lollipop or at least an AOSP ROM by now. Android M is being launched in a few months. Let's get this project back up and running and don't stop until its finished! We have plenty of donators including me. If help is needed ask other experienced Devs, CM Devs, even Devs on the Android Forums. This phone has way too much potential to just forget about.

I'm already accepting that we may not get anything and gotten used to a tweaked stock rom. There's a reason cheaper phones have lollipop already, they're going to have larger user bases by default. There is really no reason to pick up a flex even under an upgrade deal when there are plenty of competing phones that already have thriving communities, and I wish I did more research before I got mine. So really it comes down to someone only picking it up to get something different and even hindered.
That said, if some crazy dev does decide to pick the phone I'll be pleasantly surprised but preaching like this forum has been for weeks now isn't going to do anything when we have no devs actively working or even looking at us. I'm really hoping I get proven wrong and I'm definitely ready to throw some money at a reputable dev but seriously now, we don't even have stable cm11 ports and people are hoping for lollipop.

That's the problem, that fact that Lollipop is almost a year old and we don't even have 4.4.4 KitKat. We're about 2 years behind. This is why I said, lets go around and recruit. There are some Devs that don't even need the device in hand to build. They build and use testers. It seems like when there are kernel related issues Devs give up because they have little to no kernel knowledge. There's ways around that. Like I said, the CM11 port may not be stable but its still silently being worked on, just not finished in the timeframe people expect. And I've seen a couple people quietly working on their own CM12 builds. CM12 is already booting, its just in the same condition as CM11, which no one figured out how to fix yet, which is Sound, Bluetooth etc. I believe this device will get Lollipop soon, but only if people are eager and motivated to get the job done.

I have my Huawei Mate 2 with lollipop. It goes for 2 days with heavy use when it had Android 4 so I'll have to see what it will do now. The reason I put it down was because the camera sucked but with the update it seems to work fine. I love the LG form factor with the power and volume buttons and even the gui is cool but I'll try the Mate 2 and see. Mate 2 has a brighter screen, but the lg has wifi calling so lots of pluses and minuses. My fried got the Mate 7. Awesome phone but he was used to the long batter of the Mate 2 so returned it.

You guys MIGHT wanna check out playfulgod's CM11 thread, all the new development from the past month has been going on there. We now have sound working!!!

The d959
Does anyone know if the latest cm11 build with sound and data for the d959 will work? Saw the multiple .zip files but none for 959 in the main thread(cm11)

Read! Reply over there BTW, more likely to get help. And he's gonna build for d959 when data works on lswhateveritscalled. Sound works on all.

I know we've all heard it before. I ditched this phone to basically get lollipop. But after a few weeks I realized what I'd been hearing since launch. I don't hold this screen right up in my face. I don't care about pixels. What I do care about? The awesome size and battery life. Mine never stutters. Forget lollipop. I'm fine with the flex the way she is. I would like to see more development. But if we get it we do and if we don't we don't. I still have an awesome and powerful phone and cm12.1 would run awesome.

Zenfone 2 laser (ze551kl) Root

There isn't much talk here about the zenfone 2 laser and everything all info I can find on XDA and other websites about routing the ZF2L seem to be registered to the non US version or discuss only the non laser version.
XDA forum has post for joining the WhatsApp group, but I'm not seeing the point of joining a phone app for a phone that I am going to be rebooting while looking to troubleshoot things with the phone. Maybe they have a solution, and if so post it up here as well as a link.
Has anyone made any headway with rooting this device? Let's get a single thread to focus efforts on getting a workable root for the ZE551kl US version of the Zenfone 2 laser.
It sure would be nice to rid this device of all that bloatware.

I'll be checking back here for good news I hope soon.

Same here. Placing my order soon, and this is the ZF2L model that I want.

I've been poking around for information about the ze551kl also. Mine came yesterday. So far it doesn't seem like anyone is working on root for it yet, but that's probably due to the fact that not very many people own one. The good news is it has been selling out on Amazon and Newegg, so hopefully someone will be able to figure it out soon.
From everything I've gathered so far, the process to root it should be nearly identical to the ze550kl since the hardware is so similar. I imagine that once someone who knows what they're doing looks at it, they'll be able to figure it very easily.
Also, Asus will likely release a bootloader unlocking tool at some point in the coming months. The unlocker for the ze551ml was released sometime around 6 months after the phone came out.

Asus will only release the bootloader unlock when someone from xda discovers it.
Selling out doesn't mean more ownership. Chances are they are only selling a few units to test the waters.

Picked one up yesterday for my pop's. I, too, am hoping that a root may be possible in the near future. I don't like the bloatware and the OS at all. Wish I can slap CM on it.

Subscribed to thread. I hope something turns up eventually. Phone seems very fluid but it comes with loooooots of extra apps, hoping for a CM build soon.

I'm getting exceptional battery life with factory rom- 60% left at end of day yesterday- thats 2 days with same results. Imagine what could happen without bloat! So far- I love this device.

same here ... want root access lol
---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------
found only ZE550KL images that give root, but it doesn't exactly work fine on ZE551KL (touchscreen issues due to different density)
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/10/how-to-root-asus-zenfone-2-laser-ze550kl.html
any ideas?

I bought the phone today. It is very fast and fluid.
waiting for good news to obtain root access.
any way to change the green color of the icon of the sim 1?

phone itself is great, I like it so far, but ... I noticed the stock firmware (5.0 still here) the push notifications do not work ever for apps like CNN news, BBC news, UPS delivery manager, not sure yet what blocks them still, I even made sure to allow them auto-start in asus manager thingy.
Also Google Calendar widget doesn't refresh current date, content gets updates, not the date on it lol, ASUS messed up something in stock firmware or some bloatware is interfering.
Also it kinda sucks that phone's wifi card doesn't support 5GHz band at all and no 802.11AC speeds ... my old Samsung Galaxy S3 could run 5GHz band, this one can't.
oh, but I love the LTE speeds now, got almost 50/28 Mbps here around NYC through T-mobile.
Other than that, I love it, I need a root too ...

Really was hoping to root this phone bummed there isn't one for this model. Hopefully someone will come along and save the day.

Thanks for the link, but that's actually for a different phone model. We are specifically looking for rooting the ze551kl (zenphone 2 laser w/1080p screen and 3GB memory.)
What I did find, is that asus has posted the kernel sourcecode for this phone model. It can be found via the support and downloads page on their site.

Well, now we only need someone to help us with this. If I am not mistaken, the Kernel needs to be set as Permissive (if ASUS phones works the same as Samsung) - then will we be able to get root...
