Honestly i dont think so,
Eyes are aim to Lollipop as priority

I am going to be working on it just for fun. Just started this morning I'll let you know how it goes.

And as far as the lollipop thing, that's why you buy a Nexus. As soon as the next distro is out it updates, you buy Galaxies and LG's and HTC to mess with. And did you guys read the article on CNet about the new Ubuntu phones being two gens behind the current gen instead of us getting the Edge like they showed on the damn kickstarter pace that I lost $700 on and now it's going to be a Korean made glorified Go Phone that is onnnnnly going to be sold in Europe initially? http://www.cnet.com/pictures/first-ubuntu-phones-revealed-pictures/6/ look at that! And only a dual core A7 with a gig of RAM. I feel like Keeping my nexus just as it is, maybe theme it a bit, but I'm going to start working on Ubuntu for some of the higher end devices they send me. So I thought I would start with the Atrix HD because I never use it, and the specs are similar to the phone they are putting out and see what I come up with. Don't get me wrong I'll still work on Android but I think Ubuntu needs our help a little bit more right now.

[q] cm12 tf701

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.

Just found this: (Deleted)
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.

Played With the 10 @ Sprint Store Today

Just kinda disappointed that it did not stand-out to me. Nothing impressive or eye-catching about it. I may wait for the Note "7" in August . . .

Best phone I have owned yet! I also like the look of it. Second only to my first HTC, the HTC Touch. Just another perspective.
Just curious. If you dont like something, is it your norm to go look for that particular items web forum and start a thread about your dislike?
You must have a lot of free time.
Haha. I'm subscribed to this forum, as I had every intention of upgrading to the 10, just as I have in the past with every other HTC phone since the OG Evo. I am an HTC fanboy.
But, let's be realistic: the 10 is nothing fantastic. HTC has once again stuck to dull changes, that may very well bankrupt their company.
Their biggest marketing is chamferred edges? Really? Don't get me wrong, the OG Evo was an "Evolution" in technology, but it seems like HTC is done with the ground-breaking ideas it once cornered the market with.
I stay-up on all the tech articles on all forms of technology, and I truly believe HTC dropped the ball on this phone, especially with the Note 7 and iPhone 7 coming-out. It may very well be just Sammy vs. Apple very soon.

I don't understand... You are entitled to your opinion, but I am not seeing the writing of an HTC fanboy.
So yeah, being realistic, I don't agree with you. To me this phone is fantastic! I would like to point out that being realistic is NOT comparing a phone to phones that are not released yet. That is called unrealistic. Anyways we get it, you don't like it. Cool. I am absolutely loving my 10.
If you like to root a phone, good luck with your note 7 phone.....

just curious, what do u think it's lacking? what would it take to wow you?
I wouldn't say I'm blown away w/ the 10 but I do love it, but I also loved the M9...honestly I don't know what it would take to really wow me on a smartphone...I am happy w/ updated specs/hardware & software features...I think HTC made a good move streamlining & using more stock google features, running stock is no longer unbearable.

What up omj,I've had the m7,m8,m9 on sprint and I loved them all,the only problem I had was on the m9 was that I had data connectivity stop working and I would have to reboot the phone to get it to start working again several times a day when my m9 connected to band 41.
Has there been any reports of this issue also occurring on the HTC 10?

Have not had a single issue with this phone. And it has the camera we all dreamed that HTC would use in a phone.
Buy the phone that makes you happy. I for one love the 10. Can finally use sense widgets with different launchers and whole sense feel is stock Android like. I have a feeling HTC will be pushing updates a lot faster now because of it.

I'm not dogging the phone guys. Come-on, give me some slack here . . .
But, that's the thing that everyone asks me: what would it take to "wow" me, and I almost wonder if it can no-longer be done. Android is the same thing, over & over again. Idk, I guess what I want to see from a OS standpoint is like jumping from Windows 3.1 to Windows 10. I want to see a complete refresh. And, I expect the same from HTC. Having the same exact design as the M phone's, with minor hardware upgrades does not have me salivating.
I want another revolutionary HTC phone like the OG Evo, and I truly think Samsung is coming out with something that will blow the socks off any competition.

What wow'ed me was the camera and fingerprint scanner. That was enough for me, HTC did make it hard for me to theme but now everyone can be a themer. It is a nice upgrade from the M9 to me. Dude get what you want, you have to live with it.
Dude the next big tech jump will be flexible phones. That's about it. What else can you geek into a phone? What do you wish the phone would have? It ain't happening. We are at the apex of these things and all that can be done is cosmetic. The OS is constantly changing and will always include new innovative changes. But nothing is going to drastically change for awhile. They'll get slimmer, lighter, faster, last longer in bed, but that's about it. So just pick a phone and enjoy it because in 6 months something will be out that's better any way.

Well, two weeks till the Note 7 is announced. I honestly hope the specs on it are not all they're cracked-up to be, as it will push me to get the 10. Sammy's have **** for support, as the bootloaders are locked. My brother and buddy both have the S7 Edge. Buddy loves it, brother says "ehh". He switches phones every couple of months though. He has his eyes on the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro with Google Tango. He's kinda like me, he gets bored quickly. I'll never switch to an iPhone though.
The next Nexus intrigues me, especially if HTC is making one . . .

Will the Nexus 6 get Android O?

So I was thinking about it, the Nexus 6 is nearing the end of it's line for updates, it was already confirmed to get Android N because there are developer preview for N released for the Shamu. Is this phone likely to get O in another year when that gets released? What do you guys think? It definitely has the specs I'm sure for it, but google may just choose to not do it officially. Out of all the Nexus phones, I REALLY like my 6! They never made one with a monster of a screen like this! Thoughts? Stay nerdy my friends.
Nobody knows, but probably. The Nexus 5 came out with Jellybean and it's getting N.

The N5 came out with KitKat...
OS updates: 24 months from date of release.
Security updates: 36 months from date of release OR 18 months from date of removal from the Play Store (whichever is longer).
The Nexus 6 will not get Android O, as it will be more than 24 months from the date of release. Of course, custom ROMs will mitigate that issue.
you watch.. it will.

It was released with 4.4 kitkat, the rumor of it getting N MAY not be true however. I read a thing just today that just because there's a build in the works on the repo, doesn't mean it's final. The Nexus 4 had a build for I think it was KK or MM, but of course never actually got the update.

While most likely unofficial (not Google Released) it will get it. The great thing about nexus devices, they only die when you let them. Well to a point of course.
Google has given their Nexus devices a span of two years. correct me if I'm wrong but they do major updates to a device for at least two years, and then security updates for 3. by that logic the Nexus 6 will sadly not see an official release of O. however with the beautiful thriving community of XDA on top of the fact that it's a Nexus, it will most definitely see an unofficial release.

No one should care about official or not. That is the whole point of having a nexus. Hell I am betting there will be a 8.0 rom for it a day or 2 after it is released. Before even the new nexus devices are delivered.

Its not about using the phowe for 3yr its about the update and in specs its a good choice moderate one

Many people do. If you looked at most of the devices from the mod team you will find many keep their devices for about 4 years or so.
Learned long ago there is no point in updating alot. The hardware changes are minor at best.

The last time I kept a phone for more than 3 years was the original Nexus. Nothing out there now peaks my interest. Now that I'm used to the large screen, I can't go back to a 5.5 or smaller phone. I may actually keep my 6 for another 18 months unless Google introduces a new Nexus device with a large screen.
Is it likely there will be a new 6" Nexus in the next several years? 5.5 to 5.7 seems to be the upper limit for the high end phablets.

The rate of hardware advancement is slowing down dramatically. There is really nothing that you gain by buying new hardware compared to something like a Nexus 6. A very small boost in speed, and 64bit that doesn't do much for a phone (basically, its benefit is limited to crypto).
So do tell me why anybody would want to spend $500-$1000 on new hardware when it doesn't actually do anything useful for them?

Just keep in mind that google didn't say that they will cut everybody off at those times, but rather that they only GUARANTEE updates until then. Seems to me that there remains a possibility of official full version updates for as long as providing them isn't overly burdensome.

Well, care about official or not works like this;
If you want to run code from a source that you trust, you will either run the official builds, or spin your own. No sane person will trust the binaries built by fly by night hacks from some random website (including something bigger like cyanogenmod, because the quality control on that is basically bullpoop).
So for trustworthy code, there are two sources. One of those two sources can be burdensome. Therefore YES, WE DO CARE if google continues with the builds.

Am I the Only One Who is Upset?

I had posted earlier about no Remix 3.0 for the Mini. Am I missing something here the Mini is only a matter of maybe a few months old and they have stopped supporting it already? This seems to me like a very poor way of doing business. Could you imagine if Microsoft announced that they where going to stop supporting Windows 10 after only six months? I tried to warn them about Allwinner during the Kickstarter everything I have tried from them has been junk plan and simple. Allwinner also has terrible support. But I expected more from Jide. I also have inquired with Jide if they intend to offer a discount on the new Rockchip Mini for the Kickstarter supporters where they have pulled support after it just being released. I like Remix OS but I am now skeptical about purchasing anything more from them after this.
You are not the only one. I paid $50 for a box that is inferior(besides the flash quality) to a $36 box that is apparently supported by them, and now I see on top of the box being inferior, support will be dropped for it too.
Pretty stupid.
Also the idea that you have to hardware mod to get root? No.
I understand frustration. But I use my Remix Mini every day (I Heart Radio, Tune In Radio) and occasionally Kodi, Netflix, various TV network apps, etc. Does all I ask of it and more. For less than $50. Would it be nice to have Marshmallow, or 4k video, of faster processor? Sure, but none seem to improve what I use it for.

I see it okay for what I use it for even though after a couple of hours of use it gets REALLY hot and SLOW, to the point where I have to restart my Mini.
I would hope that updates would help it just run smoother so the lack of support sucks and causes me to look at other alternatives. Lesson learned on a 50$ experiment.

yeah but that lesson learned netted them over 1.5 Million and now they are just dropping it and expecting people to by a new model when the old one is only 8 months, never mind that they falsely advertised the 4K and can't even reproduce the digital audio AC3 out without glitches...
I thought of that but there is not much I can do at this point. I have been thinking of just installing the RemixOS to a i5 NUC of some sort.

OR... i may just hack it to pieces with a new OS."
Unfortunately I have 3 of the Mini's and while keeping one may be okay I definately don't need the other 2 but I could not in good conscious sell the others to to somebody unless they new the remix before hand...
To anybody interested in the other 2 I would sell them for $20$us each plus exact shipping. Barely even used except to make sure that all 3 worked when I got them and give them their recent updates. For $30US each I will throw in one of those mini keyboards with the Touch mouse and backlite for each one
@thirdlobe
no point at the mo (no audio over HDMI) jide won't fix it coz its not their problem . so you might have to wait for MM release of remix to see if that's been fixed .

Hey wastate2014,
Really sorry to hear the disappointment evident from your post. The Remix Mini won't be getting Remix OS based on 6.0 anytime soon due to the Allwinner chip not supporting Marshmallow. This I've probably mentioned to you before.
Supporting Remix Mini is still something we're actively working on. There will be a test version going out to testers within a couple days and after it goes through testing, it'll be released as a public OTA update for all Mini users. If all goes well, I'd say testing will take around a week. Thus, we do continue to support Remix Mini, though we do have our resource challenges as a startup.
As for everything you've tried from us being junk, please let me know exactly what it is that's been bad and I'll do my best to make sure it's fixed as long as it's within my power to. Can you pass on a private email through PM here and I'll contact you about your issues.
Lastly, we will work harder to make sure our earliest backers, esp on Kickstarter, know we're listening and we value you. I'm sorry to anyone who has felt let down by us in any way.
Jason

Email address PMed. Thanks for the response.
Sooooo, not sure what the update did, but there is a new update if you opt in to receiving the testing releases. Still no root like you get by default in MM, which the Mini won't get.
I'm really not sure how this happens, but I'm done. There's no "rectify"-ing this beyond taking returns and providing refunds I don't think. And I would not expect that, of course.
So, I'm done. Anybody want mine, PM me. It's mint, and updated to the latest FW.

mine has been sat in a drawer for the last 2 months hugely disappointed with jide "rooting your mini will void your warranty" poor excuse. this device should have come pre-rooted simular to the way cm roms are. the people on xda are by nature tinkers and you jide actively dennying root access does not endear you. (a half pre rooted rom is still not good enough).
for most people the "P" in pc means personnal as in yours to do with or customize as YOU see fit, however in the case of the remix mini i think it means "pwned" by jide.
i had massive hopes for this device and remix but sadly have moved on.

Sooooo, not sure what the update did, but there is a new update if you opt in to receiving the testing releases. Still no root like you get by default in MM, which the Mini won't get.
I'm really not sure how this happens, but I'm done. There's no "rectify"-ing this beyond taking returns and providing refunds I don't think. And I would not expect that, of course.
So, I'm done. Anybody want mine, PM me. It's mint, and updated to the latest FW.

It's somewhere around the update window. 3 dots to click that give you settings to accept testing releases. I don't really see any point, unless they will offer root on the testing releases, maybe.
And still, I won't be bothering.
Nope.. not upset
I have bought many android devices... (meson/s802h/a31s/805/3188/3288/H8 ) some cheap.. some expensive
Expensive doenst mean good.. in many cases.. (and more cores doesnt mean faster computing)
-Most android tv boxes have no support what-So-ever, But with some support from XDA\freaktab\Libre-elec... most of them got to be quite good
The Remix Mini is just a average android device.. (hardware wise) But with good support and a great User Interface
The have earnt my respect.. ( with Remix Mini support / releasing 32bit for older pc hardware...giving a new spark to android x86 project )
Here is how to be a tester: http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us/articles/218012497-How-to-be-a-tester-

don't forget to report issues using the feedback app

Anyone still use?

I was just wondering if there are many users of this device still around here.
I have the 32 bit US gsm version. This is my old phone that I'm currently using. As my Samsung Note4 broke.
I was just thinking,if there was a demand and mainly if I have time,that I might possibly develop something.
If any interest, please make a reply!
Hallo, I'm using the international version (64bit).
I still use my 510.Wish there was a custom ROM.
Yup.
I'm rocking a 510 I found on the side of the road XD
It would be great to see some new dev work on the 32bit.
Do you have any experience with building CM/LineageOS?
I have 2x EU 64-Bit international version, i bought that two years ago for just 34 EUR per item. I would like to see a working custom rom version, i have no problem when camera is not working.
I have the HTC Desire 510 x32 bit with cm-11 on it. I've had it for 3 yrs but I don't use it often. Thanks for making a post to enlighten the development of the device again. I think I'll continue fixing the cm-12.1-UNOFFICIAL-a11 Rom and move on to porting a Lineage OS Rom. The device has potential because it's just like the other HTC Desire devices put aside the fact it has a older model number and maybe some different ram.
Sure, why not. I haven't done a full build from scratch yet, would be a good jumping off point. Anyone want lineage?
Love you long time

I would love you forever if you could find a way to patch the cellular data bug in the unofficial cm12.1 that's floating around for this phone. If you could also fix the camera bug, I'm not even sure what exactly I might be persuaded to do. Almost everything these days either requires lollipop to run, and there are even some bugs that exist in the apps that still work on KitKat (TLS 1.2 support!).

Hey could anyone with this phone please post the apk for Bluetooth Share Module? I deleted it thinking it was the Bluetooth le profiles mentioned on the debloat page and now I can't turn on Bluetooth! Pretty please?
Ok, nevermind on the request for the Bluetooth apk. I took a current vnand backup, then reflashed my custom ROM, grabbed the apk, then reflashed my backup and installed the previous apk.
I can haz all the genius
Yea I have the 4gb version Sprint. There's barely any space so does anyone know what's safe to uninstall without causing any damage?
