Currently, I'm working on porting for this decide. If you haven't got rid of this phone, wait for a bit and I will come back!
Actually, CM7 is ready. I'm working on CWM and on other rom. I hope it will work.... If not, well, I will try to make it work
Don't lose hope

thank you for support! But my stupid computer broke D: when it will return home, I will work again to make something boot on this phone. Don't lose hope! For the moment... You can root it if you haven't done it. Gingerbreak works like a charm, tested on 20+ devices!
I hope my pc comes back soon...

My CM7 port for LG Optimus Chat!
I just released a port of CM7 for the LG Optimus Chat, based on the North American firmware! Should work well :fingers-crossed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rom-cyanogenmod-7-2-rc1-port-lg-c55x-t2862429 - Gave me a nine days battery life with screen on an hour or so and 3G enabled! Pretty good for such a small phone!

Thanks for your help and replies...

i think you should look for a topic about your pad in the developing topics, how I wish I could have a cm9 on lg l3 e405
Thats the Problem... There is no topic about this pad ... and not listed in cyanogen(get cm) only memo pad from asus that is listed , is the 10 FHD with dualcore.... But it has different Hardware
Looking for Root for ASUS_MeMO_Pad_10_ME102A
I want to install a VNC server so I can remote into the tablet and help my mom out. The ME102A is a steal at $200 for Qaud core 1.6Ghz it seems to perform pretty well for a $200 10.1. So with Stock 4.2.2 I'd like to get root. I searched and can't find any alternative ROMs or root instructions. A lot for the MeMO Pad 7. There isn't any forum for it I guess - can't understand why ...
Sure this pad has really good performance and batterylife is on heavy use also fine... I havn't test the 3d performance, but i think it's not the first priority on such a big pad... Streaming and browsing arround i'm on 9 hours of battery... With round about 6 hours of screen-on-time... I think it's good enough for this pad .. I hope someone of the devs reading this and will bring up some nice Roms..

This pad is not listed on Asus the site. I registered my device and have access to the kernel code, if needed.

Found directions on Youtube, by searching ME102a root. You have to use a chinese root tool. Disclaimer: I did not try this and I did not post the video, try at your own risk.
I User this tool for rooting , it works... my pad is succsessful rooted... but there is no clockworkmod-recovery to find
This tablet has reached some really good prices lately. Lets spark up some dev interest.
Noticed someone has tried to drum up some interest on transformer forums under the ME301T section but no responses yet (can't post link b/c still noob)
How can i make a systemdump from the pad? Does it work on Windows or must i take Linux(ubuntu)?
I want try to build my own custom Rom...

Go to the about in the settings. From there, go to the Software information, and keep hitting the build number until it starts to count down. This unlocks the developer menu, which you need to enable usb debug (ADB).
Asus ME102a (k00F)
Bumping. If you believe the bench-marking apps it ou-tperforms the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for $100 less. It may be this "Rockchip" processor that's holding it back. Sure would love to see some XDA hero succeed where CM has failed.

I just received the tablet and I am in great love with it so far. i just wish to remove all these unnecessary apps and make it slimmer.
BTW, dose Kingoapp root work for this tablet as well? Thank you.

I'm also interested to see if anyone has tried these. There is also a starting community over at transformerforums.com.
I just got a notification for an OTA update. Should I hold off on the update until I root or should I root first then update? Is there a standard Android practice regarding OTA and root?
I will wait to update ota , maybe root is gone after this..

Wish i would have seen this earlier, but it's too late now.
I did the Asus update which popped up right when i turned the tablet on, then downloaded and ran Kingo One click, and all was rooted and running great in minutes!
So far so good, as long as the problems dont bite me in the butt

I got this tablet from the black friday sale at staples for $149.99 shipped to my house!!! Hard to beat that price for a quadcode 10 inch..
But I will follow advice here and wait for a safer rooting method.
I research and Vroot doesnt seem safe,
thanks

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active G891A rooted

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active G891A rooted and add full language
Add full language
How has NO ONE replied to this thread? This could be the start of a while new root method that should be better than the Engboot. Do you have any insight on how this was accomplished? If so would that method in any way work for the normal s7 and the edge?
Yeah, the lack of talk about this is strange.

Lenovo planning another Tango-enabled device for 2017

http://www.androidauthority.com/lenovo-tango-2017-736736
General Manager of Android and Chrome at Lenovo, Jeff Merideth recently mentioned that since other companies will be working on new Tango phones for the 2017 year, it only makes sense for Lenovo to do the same. He mentions that since they have already made their first device, if they can make a second generation while others are creating their initial offering, they should be quite a bit ahead of the game.
The company had 6,000 developers purchase the device online and at events since the launch

And where are those devs? I feel like I'm the only person on XDA trying to do something for this device.
Also a total sale of 6k devices makes it depressing when thinking about porting LineageOS, so much work for so little..
I made that super simplified root guide and there were not more then 5-6 people interested
(Sorry just me feeling depressed with myself when thinking about further development for this device)

I personally root for Xposed and ability to remove any system app I don't want. I also like the ability to run root for add blocking app. I like to back up apps with titanium backup when changing devices. Plus many more like twrp bckp, advanced power menu, color/themed icons etc. Just to name a few.

Thanks I sure appreciate your work I was about to resale when I couldn't get root. Now I am content with the device and that's thanks to you and the Russian Lenovo Forums. Thanks again!!!
Can i ask you what system apps did you remove? I removed with success (no root i disabled for user zero from adb) "user experience" app, but i want to remove all the ****.
Thank you!

yeah, this, i thought it's a placebo, but it's snappy, but it doesn't have the T95Z launcher and no navigation and status bars, idk if this will sound stupid, but my guess about libs, well, now most of devs like from Ugoos etc are doing some tweaks with AFR, maybe devs who are doing T95Z firmwares are trying too
OH, BTW, i liked in this firmware the notifications, they are not in the middle of the screen, but on down side, and the popup is a little changed

Phone has custom ROM without my knowledge

I have noticed some subtle changes in my phone recently despite it not having any updates, and while in the support page for "nearby" I noticed it said that I am running a custom android version.
I have read up lightly on rooting and custom ROMs, mostly here, and my questions are; is this normal? If not what should I do about it? How, and why would this be done?
Edit: my phone is a Galaxy J3 Orbit

No, but I know exactly when it would have happened. And who was fully capable of it. Who was also the only person with the opportunity to.
And a custom ROM IS way better. If you choose to install one, you choose the one that you install, and complete the whole process in a secure way that best suits your needs. I doubt one that is secretly installed is there for my benefit. And I feel like you should know that
