Two options:

OpenGApps can work, I use the package that only has the necessary files for Google Play to run.

There's also MicroG, an open source reimplementation of the Google Play Services that aims to make a more privacy and battery friendly version of the services.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
So you guys still believe cm is coming to our device..i doubted it weeks ago and i havent changed my mind, if anything could of been done, there would be a alpha/beta out by now
[MeMO Pad 7 General] vampirefo:
You can compile an alpha today, source is already available. So no need to doubt or complain just build the available source right now.

Source is in this thread, I have compiled the source myself, I know it works.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Neuromancer:
Is there a list about which built-in apps are safe to disable on ME176CX? I disabled a few seemingly innocent ones the other day (including uninstalling built-in wallpapers), and the device went into reboot loop soon afterwards, which I managed to escape by hard reset (power + volume up). It worked OK then, until I went into Settings / Apps / Disabled (maybe it was before reaching Disabled tab); at that point the device froze for a minute, and rebooted itself (just once this time).

The only two apps that I suspect were Chrome and stock Browser (and maybe Cloud Print?).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :

Why I can't update to Lollipop? I'm with .201 update and when I start OTA I download the update and then, when the update flashes, my tablet just bootloops infinitely. I don't get the UEFI updating messages at all. I tried flashing it via OTA, via ADB and via temp recovery. Same result. The ROM is stock, not rooted, no apps frozen. I tried wiping cache/dalvik/data multiple times. Please help me.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
i also removed the stock browser.you have to look at all the posts cause some of the apps which could be removed are not included in the main list...

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Neuromancer:
Haven't seen Browser in the responses either. But I also disabled Cloud Print (something I was sure is useless to me), which could be the suspect as well.

Are there any logs available when it comes to these "spontaneous" reboots, where you can check what the reasons were?

did you compiled a baytrail rom yet?

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Not yet. I'm not home right now (and won't be for a week) and my computer is off so I can't VNC in to it from here.

Haven't really messed with it too much. Part of me wants to just wipe ZenUI off of it and replace it with Arch Linux, but obviously that's probably not a good idea.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
Yeah,you could get into trouble by doing that.So we'll have to wait until the development of OS'es for the baytrail devices has went further on.Even on my new bought baytrail device no x86 android will run without issues though the uefi aint locked.:(

I hope you'll get the cm rom running on our device if you're back home.(Thumbs pressing.):)

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Shaunscott0207:
The root worked so I tried installing the ROM mentioned earlier (the Russian one) and bricked it ?? it will start booting and then get stuck in a bootloop. I'm charging the tablet now so I can try again later but any tips on unbricking?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Stuck on the ASUS boot animation? The one with the spinning circle?

If so, the Russian ROM doesn't actually format /system, which causes this issue. In temp TWRP format the /system partition, then try reinstalling the ROM again. You'll know it worked if it takes significantly longer to flash the ROM, and the boot animation is instead the one from Marshmallow (the one with the four circles). This process will not delete any of your installed applications (well, except for the ones that came built in that are now removed due to nuking /system)

You'll also want to flash some GApps- IIRC the lightweight ROM doesn't come with Google Play. You'll need to flash it separately from http://opengapps.org/. Use x86 5.0, and I personally use the pico package because it contains no bloat except the bare minimum to get Play to work, however any of the packages will work.

Keep in mind that it will take about 10 minutes for the first boot of Lollipop and above to function. If you're not doing a factory reset this may not be the case, but I figured it is worth a mention anyways.

After you're in the ROM, I'd recommend unlocking the bootloader as it will prepare your device for custom ROMs in the future and also install TWRP in to your recovery partition so you won't need to tether every time you need to use it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Shaunscott0207:
I would try that but I can't get back to that menu. I was using the temp CWM and it was all ok but I can't access that now because the device won't tether to my computer :/ any tips?

Hi guys i have installed the russian "lite" rom, and now Bluetooth doesnt works. I will flash back to the original rom but my TWRP backup doesnt work anymore.

My questions: How long needs socialdesignconcept for the cm mod? ;)

-> what rom and how can I flash it to return to the original state? I have the "unsecured" bootloader and the recovery installed.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Okay, I think I know why this occurs.

What version of the ROM were you running before installing the lightweight Russian one? The Russian one's based on .36. If you didn't upgrade the UEFI to the .36 version, this bug occurs. Cameras won't work, either. As far as I know, the only "safe" method is to reflash the ROM that you were previously on, upgrade to .36, then install the Russian ROM... although, there might be another way...

[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] Assuming this bug is actually happening, is it possible to just upgrade the UEFI without upgrading the ROM, and if the UEFI somehow bricks is there a way to recover via DNX mode?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] idoetzchen:
I have updated my rom to the newest so i think that i am on .36.

Can you pls tell me how i flash (and what 4 a rom), because flashing the asus firmwarefile or the updatelauncher file via recovery or tethered cwm fails. Thx.

Speaking of ROMs...

[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] Haven't heard anything from you recently, is CM12.1 porting still going on?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
Is it actually worthwhile downgrading then
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I don't think so.

You think Lollipop's ZenUI is bad? Kitkat's used even more memory, apps would crash, freeze, and stutter worse than they do now, everything would love to go unresponsive...

And, most importantly (for me, anyways), the status bar isn't customizable with Xposed, except for an obsure module called OmZen, which is only available in Polish last I checked. Lollipop's, however, works with GravityBox.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
Ok thanks, i may look around for a new tablet, had this a while now, its decent for the most part, but i think going upto 2gb ram wouldnt be a bad thing and one with good support, ie not intel atom cpu's, which are pretty much completely locked down..i still think a smooth cm 12.1 or any rom is wishful thinking
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Heh, I'm working on the same thing, currently. I'm planning on purchasing myself a SHIELD tablet in a couple of days here, once I get my paycheck. This tablet's been faithful (well, after some coaxing) but ultimately I've had it for almost two years, and I think it's time to let it rest.

- Tegra K1 is still very strong.

- SHIELD K1 is only $200.

- Bootloader is unlockable, and NVIDIA supposedly does not void warranty for unlocking the bootloader- but won't help with any issues that arise because of modifications that you did. If an unrelated hardware issue comes up, they'll still fix it.

- Almost stock Android, with a plethora of custom ROMs if that's your fancy. I think I'm going to stick with the stock ROM since it's for the most part AOSP and just use systemless root/Xposed for all the mods I want.

- As far as I know, NVIDIA still plans to support it for a while- and when they drop it, then custom ROMs it is.

- ARM processor. No more dealing with x86. Android was designed for ARM, and I've learned to keep it on ARM.

It's true that the SHIELD X1 is rumored to be coming out soon... but I think $350 is a bit much for a tablet. I'll stay a generation behind- the K1 is still powerful, and by the time anything needs an X1 NVIDIA will have something even better than the X1 for $200.

I was planning on announcing this once I got it, but this is a relevant topic so I guess this is my "announcement" of it. :P

As I did with my previous tablet, my Sero 7, I'll still be here to answer questions if necessary.

Power off

Volume up+ power

release power when you see Asus logo, holding volume up. This goes into Fastboot, or Droidboot as Asus calls it.

you have 4 options, highlight recovery using the volume key, and push power to select it.

The tab will reboot into a dead robot picture. Push volume up and volume down simultaneously, and the recovery menu appears when you release the buttons.

You can do a couple of helpful things here, wipe cache and factory reset. If you know how to use ADB you can update as well.

On my tablet it takes several pushes of the buttons to get the recovery menu, keep trying. That didn't happen when I first got the tablet

but after a while it got worse.Doesn't seem to affect the device though.

You got it up while I was typing, sorry to duplicate.
