I have been using this custom ROM for some days (thanks to Stympy) and I can say with absolute certainty that this ROM is awesome.

The interface, looks are crisp and smooth (kinda like Lollipop) and everything is super fast and great as far as performance is concerned!

The battery life has improved phenomenally (I had Stock S228 kk previously) and RAM management is heavenly. All the Chinese apps are either easily removable or ignored.

Theme manager is in Chinese and I don't understand a word but I am sure there are way to change that. Comes with Play Store too so awesome!

This is my first time at Flashing Custom ROMs so I dunno all the technicality I have to answer with but if anyone has any questions, do ask !

Once again, thanks stympy for recommending it!

Some of the minor Cons of this ROM:

1) The backlight Keys flicker sometimes randomly

2) Theme Manager in chinese and also some other apps like Music And Video

3) You cant manage screens as in if you want to shift one screen to some other place, it doesnt occur

4) The Notification LED doesnt work at all (maybe there is some setting for that? Help, if so)

5) Cant find Desktop Settings anywhere either.

6) No place to change Lock Screen Wallpaper. It is always same as desktop wallpaper
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
LED doesnt work thats an known bug

And when in home screen

Press the option button

select wallpaper

there you have option for homescreen and lockscreen both
[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
It works little bit different here. Pinch on desktop with two fingers and you'll get those options. You can just add or remove screens there though. No swaping places.

I did have this setting somewhere but can't find it now either. Maybe because of one of apps that I've frozen. But I found another way:

Themes app > 4rth icon (green with triangle) > Lock screen > 4rth icon (blue with arrow).

Regarding smoothness/quickness of the ROM and it's battery life. For me, after changes I described above it's ok. But smoothness/quickness is still worse than in Nexus 5 ROM, it's slower and less responsive. I also find using RAM cleaner from "task manager" necessary every now and then and I reboot it every few days just to make it smoother. It's worth it though, this ROM is really beautiful.

Battery life is about the same now, I guess. It was worse before those changes.

Does any of you how to manage root permissions in this ROM?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
For root permitions try at Security/ root permitions.

[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
Ok, it was empty for me because I turned off internal permission manager (I use xPrivacy). Installed SuperSU and everything is alright. Thanks.
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
Had to go back to stock 228. often the power button would not turn on the screen and the system slowed to a crawl :-s I like the ROM a lot but it needs work. The best thing about it was the camera. Loved it. I could finally take low light pics up close. Is there any way to pull the apk from the ROM and get it up and running? I tried but it won't launch at all.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
did you tried the tweak zip

give better ram management
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
I looked for it but the link gave an error 404. I'm going to try a few things and see if I can get it smoothed out.
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
Do you have the tweak zip?
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
updated it in post #2
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
tweak zip

tweak zip works o.k. The led stuck on because of the missed led notice app. I had to freeze it. It's not a perfect fix but not bad. I also tried PurePerformance X. It works well too. I'm also trying power nap. It's an xposed app. 0.6 is better than the 0.7a.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
ya LED didn't work for me as well but I didnt mind I removed it too
[Lenovo P780] kri32ablu:
For some reason, i get an error after installing these using TWRP "Unfortunately com.systemui.android has stopped" repeatedly and cannot see wallpaper (it remains black even while tryng) , no notification bar and other errors. Did i do something wrong?:(
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Try an factory wipe. Go to TWRP and wipe.

Internal memory problem

My internal memory has become useless as it can't be used to download any files.

Why?
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
are you refering to MIUI or EMUI

and if you ask me just get the internal storage remapped and transfer all the space to root drive and select MMC as default write memoryI did the same (on MIUI)
[Lenovo P780] kenny_cfc:
Miui v6. have an 8gb ROW model.. in file explorer external memory card is shown as sdcard0 and internal memory is not shown.

i dont know what 'getting internal storage remapped and transfering all the space to root drive' means.

But when I flashed gapps as given in the link of the cm12s thread, Google play services force closes constantly :(.... Also when I installed titanium backup via apk, it says the device is not rooted. On my old device, cyanogen came pre rooted, when the hell it became like this... Plz help, and don't get angry its my first flashing of rom :( thanks in advanced.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jlechner:
Ok, long story short:

I odin'd to official NK4, took OTA to 5.0, redid TWRP via odin, was rooted. I ended up borking 5.0 (doing something dumb without reading). The only way I could get my phone operational again was to flash NK4 rom via TWRP. Now my question is, since there is no 5.0 zip available yet, can I odin back to NK4 then re-take the ota? I know downgrading is usually a no-no, but I do know there are times it is ok.

Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cmf04:
That's exactly what I did and it worked with no problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
If you fully upgraded to 5.0 and it didn't take then yes you can unroot, odin back to nk4 stock and retake the OTA. However, if you did take the OTA and it took, you cannot go backwards. Once you update the bootloader you cannot go to a previous build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jlechner:
Incorrect. I just did the downgrade and it went fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
Then you weren't fully 100% on Lollipop via the OTA. Maybe whatever it was you stated happened didn't allow a complete install of the OTA so you were able to downgrade. I did say that if it didn't fully take then you could downgrade because you were still running the NK4 bootloader. Either way I'm glad you got it situated. How is it running so far? I'm thinking about doing the same thing but I've waited this long. Whats another couple days for a dev to deodex it and push it to us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jlechner:
I can assure you i was full ota. I find it odd myself. I'm doing it for a third time right now to verify.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
Ok but be careful. This is quite interesting if you can downgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jlechner:
Lollipop runs pretty smooth btw. No xposed yet though. I've seen some complaints about some aesthetics also. But i liked it for the whole 30 mins i had it lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
LoL. I guess I'll dive into it later then for the firmware alone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jlechner:
3rd time worked also... lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
I can also confirm this worked for me. I've gone back to NK4 and then OTA'd to OC5 twice without issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Plonko:
My understanding is when you Odin the full .tar, you write the bootloader, so yes, it's possible to go back to early versions.

I believe what you are thinking of is restoring backup of a previous version after you've updated the bootloader. That is usually a big no-no (with some exceptions).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] loser:
Can the screen go any dimmer besides the backlight control?

I too have wished to be able to dim the screen on my x51v more than the brightness control does. That way I can conserve battery power.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kostis95:
I´m having a problem with unlocking..... :(

I have the "an unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue. Please wait and try again later."

I've seen that many people have had this problem and signing up for the device tracker would be a good idea. I tried to sign myself up for the device tracker (to check if my serial number is in their data base). This didn't work, so I called the asus support and they told me that the device tracker doesn't work and that they're on it (which I highly doubt)... But I did ask them the question whether they could see if my serial number is registered there. They said that when they typed my serial number they saw that it was connected to my email-account so they thought this was the answer to the question. I don't really know whether it is, but I still can't sign up for device tracker or unlock the tablet....

Please help! (The motivation ship is sinking...:()
[Asus Transformer TF700] kostis95:
Also I have changed all the settings correctly I think: Two-step-verification = disabled, apps with lower security = enabled, usb debugging = on, unknown sources = on
[Asus Transformer TF700] kostis95:
Mailing tech support

I have send the following mail to support and I'm awaiting their response....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Asus support,

After having bought this product of yours a couple of years ago, it now runs like a slug. That is why I would like to unlock my tablet using the unlock tool (the 7th version) supplied by your site. It is not working however and I keep getting this message: "An unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue. Please wait and try again later.". Now I have read on multiple forums that many people have experienced this problem already and that the fault lies with the asus server and not with my tablet. I know that you will need my serial number and mac adress which I've put below so that you can send the information to the main server in Taiwan. I will be happy to provide you any other information you might need.

Furthermore I think it is very foolish to enforce such a vague policy regarding unlocking, which in the long term will only lose you your reputation and your customers (and therefore money). All I want is for this unlocker tool to finally work. I will not stop until this problem is finally resolved, so please do not try to brush me of your shoulders....

serial number: /////////

Wifi mac adress: ////////

Kind regards,

Kostis
[Asus Transformer TF700] kostis95:
Receiving support

The customer support was quite friendly actually.

They did not say anything about not supporting unlocking and sent my status information to their main office immediately. They said they corrected the database, but I´m still not able to unlock my tablet. So now I really wonder what could be the problem.....

anyone????
[Asus Transformer TF700] Schnr47:
I just had this same problem, resolved in mid-May.

I started a phone desk request since I didn't have a serial in Settings ->about tablet in mid-April. That was fixed quickly, thanks to xda.

THEN I was told that my serial number was for a motherboard, not a tablet.

After struggling to get them to understand and not just dismiss the unlock issue, I got the ASUS helpdesk to send the information to Taiwan (TW) for the server upgrade, I waited two weeks with no answer back. When I checked in, letting them know I was still waiting, they told me TW had updated the information. I had other things to worry about by then, so a week later, the tablet unlocked easily (on the third try.) The problem is, as stated in another thread, pairing of the MAC address and the serial number in the TW database.

Try a few times. If it still doesn't work, and you get the bogus network communication error, it's back to the emails. Continue by replying to the last one; they have different people answering to the same name so track by number. There are at least two servers: If they didn't state it was an update to the TW server specifically, that's the problem.

IF you get to the Google log in, and it doesn't go, or it says you have the wrong info (password, user name warning), TRY AGAIN. and again, and again. Eventually, Google will ask you if you want to change the correct setting. Check your email at this step too: I was using my daughter's account on her tablet, but Google even sent her a message stating they had blocked a hack attempt on her account... with someone who KNEW HER PASSWORD! We approved the device thru Google (links on the email) and we were golden.

(BOY did I have an issue with getting ASUS techs to even admit that there was a way to update the TW server... the ASUS device tracker is no more: ASUS won't be supporting it any longer, since Google has their Mobile Device Tracker up and running. They'll tell you that unlocking the device means you can't track too, which is definitely not true. --tested)

My daughter's 700 is now running on Crombie-KK (with patch), 'cause while she's an aerospace engineer (almost), she doesn't "get" computers.

TF 300 on firmware still (needs research), but unlocked and rooted for digitizer board update

TF700T with LCD issues, trying to resolve

Thanks XDA!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] kostis95:
I´m happy that the issue is resolved for you, however they did specifically say they updated the information on the Taiwan servers for me 2 times. So should I just keep pushing and telling them that they are bull****ting me and they should try again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Schnr47:
I would say it more tactfully; you don't have to be nasty to get decent service from them, as tempting as it gets.... As Droidbound says, "you need to be a Polite PIA." (If they send you the survey, be direct and honest, but be professional.)

I would also call the phone "help line" for the (don't tell them) serial number using only your MAC address and make sure that the information they give you matches what shows on your status screen. THEN have them check to be sure that the same serial number is actually linked to a tablet, not a motherboard. Call twice, using each call server. Add this information to the line of emails that you have already started.

If you haven't already, make sure you have the correct version of the "version 7" unlocker. Doesn't hurt to doublecheck.

Keep in mind it did take me several tries to get the unlocker to actually work, even after they updated the TW server. I have read stories of the unlocker not working for up to 50 tries, and then it miraculously does.
[Asus Transformer TF700] doveoscar:
My TF701t is giving me the unknown error when I try and unlock, too. The machine is out of guarantee, but it had a new motherboard fitted under guarantee and I guess the problem is that it has a different serial number. I have emailed support repeatedly, giving them both original and new S/Nos and the MAC address, and they seem to have trouble understanding my simple request to ensure their database carries the correct information. In fact, I'm not sure the person responding always reads to the end of the thread because they keep repeating questions and suggestions.

I have registered the new serial number, but they say that the unlock tool still won't work because the new serial number will be recognized as a motherboard not a device.

Their only suggestion is to send the machine in as the "software may have been injected incorrectly" - does that imply that the serial number could have been set to the original but wasn't? - but as the thing is out of guarantee that will be at my expense.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Schnr47:
Keep in mind that the 701 is a different creature than the 700. However, it does sound like the problem is the same as mine was.

The real problem is the server in Taiwan (TW) does not have the proper, updated serial number (and maybe MAC address) for your new motherboard linked to your tablet on their database. (yes, you got the correct answer, but maybe not the correct correction) This is part of the warranty work you had done, but it wasn't completed. You do NOT need to send in your tablet again. This isn't an installed software problem: it's a paperwork problem.

That being said:

First things first: does your settings information show a serial number? If so, half the battle is won already, even if it's the new one. If there's not a serial number, search xda for serial number programming: it worked for me when my tablet did not show one internally. (if I were to do this again, I'd try to put in the old serial just to see what would happen in the unlocking :) but I'm a maverick that way... lol)

The fight comes in when you're trying to have them update the server in TW. I think the thing that worked for me was sending an email to cl-tien@asus.com. I don't know if Tien works there anymore, but the email WILL go through, and his section worked out in 2012 or 13 how to fix the issue. It WILL get done.

In the email, give them the RPA number when the warranty work was done (if you still have it), the old serial and MAC number, and the new serial and MAC number. You can openly state unlocking purposes.

Give it about 2 weeks after the email. You will want to check your ASUS account for any followup: i didn't get any communication directly, but a new RPA was started.
[Asus Transformer TF700] doveoscar:
Loads of thanks for that. You're correct, I should be in the TF701t bit of the forum, I ended up here by accident but the problem is exactly the same and the necessary fix the same.

Mailing UK support is completely useless, they are not at all helpful, beyond offering to examine my tablet for £50 minimum charge.

My settings shows a serial number, which is different from the original, and I have given both to support. I don't think I have my old MAC address, though; but I do have the repair details so I will try your polite email to Taiwan technique and let you know how it progresses.

Thanks again. More help in one email than in multiple daily exchanges with Asus.
