[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Asumos:
so after rooting i found the partition table schem required for custom recovery... although seems beyond me for compiling or i am just missing something but either way here are partition details i found if anyone with experience is interested in creating custom recovery and/or roms

main partitions needed in recovery

/dev/block/platform/soc0/e0000000.noc/by-name/ImcPartID069	/data ext4 defaults recoveryonly

i'd compile a cm myself but everytime i follow cm guide i spend more time researching why "the next steps" commands don't work and where to find it and move it or how to compile then where to find it and move it... just not very patient with it. i uninstalled bloatware so i am happy enough

on a small question does anyone know if it would work if i download xposed and go into fastboot mode and use:

fastboot flash system xposed.zip
