[ROM] [5.0.2] [NIGHTLIES] VanirAOSP [OFFICIAL][VS985] FAST! FULLY FEATURED! - Verizon LG G3

Warranty is VOID... blah blah blah. Flash at your own risk... blah blah blah
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, READ BEFORE YOU POST! USE THE Q&A THAT MAGICALLY APPEARED
EDIT** - This build is for people who want to flash and test, not expecting everyone to answer questions for them.
Now that that is out of the way, here's the fun part. I will post a pretty OP later, but being that I know no one will read it anyway, it doesn't even really matter right now. Those of you that know the Vanir team, you know we really aren't concerned about the problems that YOU THE USER have unless YOU THE USER are able and ready to help troubleshoot by providing information to help solve the problem(s). (logs, steps to reproduce, yadda yadda)
To Install -
Download these
ROM - http://www.vanir.co/dho/3-Vanir-mirror/4-nighties/
GAPPS - http://www.vanir.co/dho/5-Gapps/50Current-DHO-GAPPs.zip (you can test others, but these are tried and true.. don't tell me about your problems using other GAPPS)
Bump your G3 (Meaning install the recovery - boot.img in the ROM is bump'd already)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-verizon-t2900590
BACK UP, WIPE, FLASH
At this point, don't ask about what is or is not included. It's probably the fastest AOSP experience you'll run at this point and has plenty of features packed into it. That's all you need to know for now so PLEASE don't clutter up this thread.
Kernel Source

Not working
- Bluetooth Calling - temp fix

not yours

you weren't 1st 2nd or 3rd and no one cares anyway..
Thanks and enjoy

Glad to see another AOSP ROM added to the growing stable, so thanks! Might try this later tonight or something, as I've never given Vanir a shot before. Very anxious to find something extremely stable and with bluetooth calling working so I can convince certain other people near me to convert to the AOSP side Thanks again!
Edit: I totally would try this out now, but my work has the slowest wifi connection on the face of the planet, and my mobile data is very limited until it re-cycles!

When you say, bump your sh*t, do you mean unlock your phone, or do you mean that the ROM needs to be bump'd? I take it you mean unlock, since that;s where the link brings us, but I just wanted it to be clear to everyone. Thanks, glad to see another ROM entering the fray.

Made it crystal clear now, but your assumption was right.

Oh how I love the options. Much obliged. I have a 64gb SD card, exfat. It doesn't work on LS, but does on CM. I'll edit this and let others know if it works on Vanir.
Edit: It is not working with the stock exfat format 64gb SD card. I don't know if they'll be adding that support or not, on other devices it was the kernel that didn't play nice but if you don't want to wait to find out, I hear formatting it to fat32 usually works.

I had the same problem with my 64gb sd card. All you have to do is plug your sd card into your computer, make a backup of the sd card, then format it and copy your files back. I formatted for ntfs or whatever option is like that. I don't know if that is necessary or not but it worked for me. I also had to mount it manually the first time I put it back into my phone but after that it works like a charm!
If that doesn't work, try formatting it in your phone first then format it on the computer. This is technically what I did but my phone went a little batty and shut down in the process so I wouldn't recommend trying that unless formatting it with the computer didn't work!

Ohhh Vanir....have to try it. I ran Vanir roms on my Galaxy Nexus for years. Some of the most stable and fastest AOSP builds around. Good amount of options, but not overwhelming. Can't wait to give it a try when I get home from work tonight.
I'll post my findings for others once I have some time to run it through its paces. Thanks to the devs for the great support out of the gates once Bump! was released for use!! You are all AWESSSOOMMMMEEEE!!!!

Do Bluetooth calls work? Thank you!

Once someone has this up and running, it would be greatly appreciated, if you could report whether BT calls are working.

Bt calling? Does it work? Vanir was one of my faves on s4. Thanks for bringing it to g3

It seems like BT calls is what's holding many people back myself included. Unfortunately it is a must for me. I'm loving all this development and how quickly it's coming. Thank you to all the devs and teams. You guys are great and I'm sure will have a fix soon.

Well, if you look at the time stamps, you'll see that the first two, mine and HerroMoto's, were posted at the same time. The other two, i agree, were unnecessary. And obviously, I read your OP, since I had the question about bumping.

OK guys bluetooth does not work on phone calls at all .

Not fair. There were none up when I started typing my post. I am usually pretty considerate .lmfao

I'm dead serious no one can hear me nor can you hear them.

Everyone having Bluetooth call withdrawal....please give the devs some time to look into it. As with my past experiences with having AOSP builds for phones that were never meant to have it...bluetooth drivers and software stacks are mostly likely proprietory. They (the awesome Devs) will have to look into whether they can port it over.
Now please do what the Dev has asked and try not to ask the same questions 1,000 times (present posts excluded). This will allow them all to concentrate on looking to adding more features and squashing any minor bugs that may be present.

Froyo on Nook (codename: "Nookie Froyo")

Details coming very soon. "Team Nookie" has an early early build of Froyo that is being tested as we speak.

Edit: We had some good times, but this thread has now been migrated here. Please post your questions/comments/thoughts/reactions/tales of woe there. You will notice there is now a link to more info at the wiki page: "Nookie Froyo". There is NOT yet a full SD image. But if you know what you're doing, you can get a bootable SD. (A full SD is just a matter of someone putting together the pieces...)

Best news I've heard all day. Willing to beta test if needed.

horns to that action
very nice im willing to test also since i have the 2 yr no questions warrenty
@fattire
You have a nook as well?? SWEEEETTTT!!!!!
Posting this from honest-to-goodness froyo. Some bugs to work out.... but it looks good.
Gotta get adbd up. One button sucks and there are other minor issues...but this is pretty rad.
Best part? Booted entirely off sd w no bn owned proprietary code.
The device rocks, I gotta ask the question though...whisper sweet nothings in my ear about how nice it runs on the NC plz.....ty
Wow...that was quick! Nice work so far guys, I'll be patiently waiting for a finished product, rather than beggin to test, or *****ing that you're going to slow. I'd encourage everyone to do the same.
@fattire
Questions on everyone's (well, mine at least) mind... please answer as much as you can, and a big big thank you!!!
1. Is BT working?
2. Is FM working?
3. Can we still use SoftKeys for hardware key emulation?
4. Can we overclock the processor?
5. How's the video playback?
6. How's the battery life compared to stock?
7. Since you're booting from SD, does that mean the internal memory of the NC remains untouched, should we need to boot stock?
and
8. How does the device feel overall?
That whole boot process was from the sdcard? How much space does all of that take?
Seriously, you got me chomping at the bit. I got a 4GB microSD waiting for a release

Just an educated guess, but about the same size as your average nexus one froyo nandroid backup.

Awesome, is this a beta update from B&N themselves, or a community build? I too am curious about bluetooth, flash, etc..
Very exciting stuff here guys...cannot wait to try an alpha build!
I wonder, if you get a problem, does the 8 reboot trick still fully restore the system to stock?

Thank you very much! Just got it running, so far no issues or force closes. I have been waiting on a 1.1 bl honeycomb. Thank you!
Wow! Great news, definitely gonna give this a try, had lots of issues the last time I used a 1.2 based bootloader,so I'm really glad to see this!
Thanks!

Thanks in advance.

I'm actually surprised that it took this long.
We used the 1.2 bl initially because we had to as we ported directly from the Adam devs. But once there were Clem kernel ports, it wasn't technically a requirement anymore. I just never changed my port as my opinions on 1.2 are already well-stated and sticking with it made sense to me, at least. But that doesn't mean that a 1.1 based HC ROM was impossible.
However, if NI releases a HC port and it's using a .36 kernel to make everything work, this 1.1 ROM might have issues with porting that. But this is all speculation, at this point - I don't know if a NI port will even work on a GTAB yet, regardless of the bootloader used.
does this has the same bl 1.2 version issues or just the usb to pc?!
bl 1.2 version has these issues:
(copied from other forum)
- Camera isn't working (pulled out the app for now)
- Browser is working, but OpenGL is disabled for it to work. That means no Flash on the stock browser.
- (High-def) video playback does not work, yet.
any testers can confirm this? i'm a bit feeling lazy to try it today
confirmed but very smooth i love it its not reading my sdcard though how can i get it to read sd card?

One other thing, on a good note -- I'm definitely happy to see more modders our there for the GTablet. Options are always a good thing and I plan to pull back a bit, starting new month. So the more HC ports we have, the better!
Quick question... If I'm running Vegan 5.1.1, what do I need to do to install this ROM? Full wipe? Just flash it from CWM? Something else entirely?
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob at all of this, but I promise I'm trying to learn!
roebeet said:
I was really hesitant to post anything, as I really don't want you taking this the wrong way. I apologize if it came off as anything else but a concern for post-support, that was not my intent (and, in retrospect, a PM would have been better. My bad).
The branding, for me, is mostly about post-support. Remember, I'm a sysadmin by trade so when I get PM's on issues, I usually ask the usual questions like what mod, what version, how did you install it, etc. That's actually why I started branding "TNT Lite" as such back in November, as it was easier for me to know if a user was actually using my ROM or not. That's really my only concern, here. When two different mods are branded the same, it will get confusing. Especially if they are on two different development branches. It is fun, I agree - that's why I do this. But for users who soft-brick, it's sometimes a major panic attack and a lot of them are hesitant to use nvflash.

Robeet, I think you were spot on, the OP is not reading it correctly. I can just see the flood of posts/PM's asking you questions and users cross posting between 1.1/1.2 because of this and the difficulty of tracking all this. it's difficult enough keeping up with all these great roms and boot loader types, I could not imagine what it is like on your guys side.
OP he is not dissing you, he is just asking that you rename it so you can support issues and he does not have to keep getting cross questions, it's pretty much non-issue in my eyes.
OP, thanks for supporting the Gtab and the 1.1. people like all you devs that make android so much fun and android FTW over IOS.

Yes, full wipe and flash it. do a backup of course just incase you want to go back. back up your apps as well so you can restore them on the other side of HC.

And it starts....says "Bottle of Smoke" in your XDA app.
Remember - it's a fork of BoS. It has a different kernel and possibly a different ramdisk, so I don't know how it will perform versus BoS (the original one).

Maybe this should be called something like "Bottle of Smoke MOD" since technically it is a modified version of the original.

[Q] What is the most stable CM?

I am looking into getting a tablet for a 5 year old and wanted to put android on specifically for just games.
What is the best and most stable rom for this? Thanks
As of 12-13-2012 CM7 is considered (tested) to be the most stable and complete CM that has been made for the nook tablet
Unfortunately this is an opinion thread and the mods hate it. With that said CM7 is (was) the most stable however CM10 has come a LONG way. I'm using the 11-26 and 11-28 SD card CM10 versions provided by Succulent at iamafanof.WordPress. com. Other than battery life not as good as stock I have no issues.
Prior to that I was using his CM7 SD card builds with no problems.
The EMMC versions are preferred by many I happen to like SD for ease of reverting to stock if needed.

I've had fantastic battery life (on standby) on the AOKP release I'm using. When my kids are playing games on it, even, it still lasts all day (8+ hours of Where's My Perry?). I think that's pretty good.

I would say. I am not trying to hijack as I think this might be pertinent to the op's question if he is as much of a noob at this as I am. For a noob is it really advisable to go with these or should a newer Rooter stay with just like the 4.7 root? Because if he is like me I won't know how to maintain if something goes wrong. Thanks
If you run a couple of diffrent ROMS from sd you can get a feel for them. How they work, stability, battery life...
I'm having great battery life from the CM10 version I'm running from sd at the moment. Tomorrow I might change to another one just for fun. Maybe it's better, maybe it's worse. But because it's on sd I can experiment to my heart's content without taking any risks at all!

4.7 root?
I advise anyone to do a LOT of reading before trying to root any Android device for the first time. There is a lot to understand and even more that could go wrong if you're not careful.

I would agree but with the imense size of this forum where do I start? I figured I would start with the moding threads and alot of them sound simple at the beginning and then the replies speak of problems and fixes that when you get done you wonder if the problems got fixed or not. Also is there like an acronym list? Myself and probably alot of other noobs don't know them and what they mean. Let me know OP if you want me to start a different thread on this.
Pm me if you run into acronyms you don't get. Easiest place to start would be the How To Root threads, and those about returning to stock. If there's something you don't understand right away, open another browser window and search for the term(s).
It is definitely recommended to read any beginners guides out there. Preferably those relating to the device you have, as they'll be the most relevant to you, but there are some general guides in the overall Android forum and subforums that will still be useful.
From there, ask yourself what you want to accomplish with your device. Are you content with the appearance as is, or do you want to change that? Are you just looking to install additional programs or do you want to write them? Any questions you can think of, make a list and prioritize that. Then start from the top and search for your answers or direction, asking questions where needed (especially if the info you find seems out of date, though lots of questions you'll find have already been asked and answered). Don't be afraid to say you don't understand something or to ask for additional info. Those who are willing to help will gladly do so if you seem like you've done some research beforehand.
Feel free to PM me any time, or hit me up on gchat. I'm always willing to help out if I can.

As already stated, 4.7 root? Huh? If I am not mistaken I believe that is something for a Nook COLOR not a Nook TABLET Many people have been on here lately misstating what they have. Verify the actual device you have before doing ANYTHING! Then go to the correct forum. Color and Tablet look the same but are 2 different animals with different methods to get things done.
I have a Google Nexus Galaxy NOOK Color Tablet HD + running the Windows 3.11 version of the Linux iOS. I'm trying to put the CyanogenmodKindleAppleWindowsPlay Store on the Skydrive in my device. My problem is that my laser disc won't fit into the 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive on my device. This is the right forum for this, right?

I suspect the poster refers to the 4_7 version of the root zip in the "Albert Wertz method". That is indeed for the Tablet. I have used it myself a couple of times. Whether it is the latest/best/whatever I do not know. But I'm sure a couple of days of reading up can help any new Tablet owners (and I suspect there are MANY after the recent great deals from BN!) make informed decisions on what route to choose.
(And I did laugh at the post above mine! )
Honestly, the SG7 rom is nice, I haven't tried either 4.2 ROMS yet, but they should be reasonably stable for games
Although battery life would be better from SG7
Also, use a file browser to remove the OTA Updater because the updates wipe GApps...

Q&A - Tims Katkiss 15b and onwards flashed with compatibility pack for the TF201

Please check from this page on...thanks to TacoNikky and the developers..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59819425
As we are up to kitkass 5.1 V22 now...
To keep up with the speed in which Tim does his Roms and the other developments (which are all good for TF201 Owners) and the support from other developers for Kernel creations and general Tweaks to keep this aging machine kicking.
This Thread is a place for those that are flashing and want to flash the TF300 version of Kitkiss with the Compatibility pack.
I am only doing this as there seems to be a lack of support from multi developers for this machine and so out of respect for the work that is done across the entire TF range. There should be no confusion on where to place your questions and hopefully get some answers to the versions of KATKISS, Kernels and Tweaks that others are doing to get the most of these once expensive little pieces of equipment.

My experience so far.. Tims 15b and Hardslogs 5.0 Kernel.
Coming from 14b in the other thread with F2F formated data I had problems flashing Tims 15b..
Had to reformat the data partition and go for a good clean wipe and everything and start fresh.
This is the 2nd day and so far its cruzing along nicely.. I need to leave the tablet and dock off the charger tonight to see how the Batt drain is..
Issues that I have experienced...
- BT - Connects once and plays but if you stop say the movie and try to go back you lose sound...
- Screen tearing - As in tapatalk while writing in to posts.. will get screen tear.. slight jitter across the screen..
- TB wont restore into the F2Fs formatted machine - on mine it always gets stuck - have oipened a ticket with TB crew and will post back if there is a workaround and or fix on this..
- Flashing a TB made backup Zip takes forever to restore, but does work.. mine is around 280 apps and I just leave it until its done.. In recovery it will tell you that it is going to reboot in 5 seconds but mine doesn't, so I leave it for a while and then do a shut down and start.. it then runs with the Blue upgrading bar and the apps are installed. Note I dont restore "Data" just the apps..
My setup
Tims Katkiss 15b
Data ext4
Hardslogs 5.0 kernel
Tweaks..
Seeder.apk - set to aggressive
Home Launcher - Apex Pro
Apps 270 give or take a few..
Settings..

I believe that the instructions are good for coming from stock, but as I was using Josh's CROMBi-kk, they were really not guiding.
This is how I installed on my TF201, coming from 4.4.4 (CROMBi-kk)
* Updated TWRP to 2.8 via "DEV branch" of @ne0zone75 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772093): I put it into USB Flash and updated within TWRP, using Install function
* Maybe that was not all needed, but I used F2FS to utilize the performance improvements mentioned by @dgcruzing. And to be on the safe side, I formatted "data" partition to F2FS, via Wipe->Advanced. Afterwards I followed guidance from @lj50036 : Go to Wipe////Format Data////Type yes. I waited all to be formatted and then checked once more that data partition was F2FS formatted.
* I copied @lj50036 KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip to home directory on my Ubuntu and pushed via the code:
adb push KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip /sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: If you are on Ubuntu, you need to start adb first as root (via sudo), then you can continue as normal user.
* Installed the ROM via Install menu of TWRP, in SDCARD, as pushed in previous step.
* Installed the Google Apps for Lollipop from this thread by @drewwalton19216801.
* When I wanted to reboot the device, TWRP asked if I wanted to install SuperSU, I did by swiping .
On CROMBi-kk I had used ext4 and my TF201 was booting real slow, around 10 minutes.
Now it boots lightning fast, less than 1 minute.
Thanks a lot to all contributors, mentioned and forgotten.
I hope that this post helps other people install this ROM.

You only need to format your Data partition to f2fs if you want to use f2fs. DO NOT format any other partitions f2fs. F2FS does provide enhanced performance overall but it is not necessary to use this ROM.
After booting into TWRP and doing a full wipe/factory reset, go back to Home, select "Wipe", "Advanced Wipe", check the Data partition ONLY, select "Repair or Change File System", "Change File System", select F2FS then format. Then reboot into TWRP and flash the ROM. It will select the proper file system upon installing.

Hey guys,
deleting 10kat seems to solve the reboot problem.
I did a factory reset and started with a fresh install of katkiss v.14b, gapps and compatibility pack. Before reboot I used file manager of trwp and deleted 10kat.
Playing around with the tablet more than an hour now, no reboot [emoji106]
No final prove but I think this is the right direction to look for...
Just a big THANK YOU to all of you for this great, friendly and helpful community [emoji122]

This one is a must if you are getting reboots, I was having a few and since I have got rid of this script, it has settled.. I haven't had time to look in to the script and see if it can be tweaked for the TF201T so at this stage its better to delete it..

Well it looks like you want the Q&A for katkiss, Its all yours ....
Thx Josh
Bit of a shame its come to this, Josh was offering a good version with his modifications making the compatibility with our TF201's better. The f2fs thing he did was beneficial too.
Yep really sad, josh 14B version was very solid, we where getting a better compatibility for our tablets and with f2fs speed was even more noticeable, thank you Josh for your efforts and good luck with the new thread dgcruzing, this post will probably be deleted but just wanted to say something.

Josh..
yes your post is true, I and many others just want the best most stable Rom for this machine..
My advise is to step back from the forums for a while as you seem to be a little to quick to jump on people with slightly snarky comments..(not just in the TF201 forum but across others too..remember your knowledge base is deepr then a normal user, As is mine so we tend to forget that the "public, blebs and general mums and dads dont want to dig as deep as we do)
Note : This thread is out of respect for you and also Tim..
In your thread you have done a good job of supplying a modded version, I take my hat off to you..And as stated you only want people to ask questions in that thread about that modded version..also you have stated that you are stepping back to concentrate on your other work..
Which once again all I have is respect.
But its not a debatable request, you have made your thread just on your modded version and so the title should reflect this, as stands, it makes people uncomfortable asking questions about Tims version and turns the thread into a bit of a **** fight as really your opening OP is not clear on these points...
Also as I have HUGE respect for Tim and the work he has done and have been on his work from early TF101 days.. I felt that the TF201 users should also benefit from others inputs across the board and not be locked into just one thread on the available Roms that are out there..
Really I shouldn't have to answer a comment like yours and you shouldn't have posted it as really all this thread is doing is repecting your wishes..
Can't have your cake and eat it as well as they say..
OK..just for clarification...
As a community that gets both inputs and contributions by members I would expect this thread to be about the Topic in the OP..
Any user on any Lollipop ROM can feel free to ask questions and those that are playing around on this machine can give their feed back..
So keeping it on track..
I just formatted data back to F2Fs...she's a tempimental little machine this one.. Even thru google play is updating it with the backuped apps..it doesn't want to open google play.. Thus looks like I am going to have to flash gapps again..
You would think that once you format and restart..as it goes thru the new startup procedure as in asks you your Google account details that it would have everything ready to go..
But it seems there is something missing.. I do see that Google settings is not installed as such..even through its sitting in my apps section within the launcher..and looking into settings there is .
Google account manager
Google backup transport
Google contacts sync
Google one time init
Google partner setup
Google play store
Google play services
Google search
Google services frame work..
So maybe its the missing Google settings app that causes this..?
Not to mind as will flash the gapps package and let it run through again..if it settles will add this to the FAQ..
edit: a reflash of gapps and a resign in via browser seems to have sorted it..Google settings app is working..

Yes..agree...as this machine doesn't have a lot of support for it so any support is a good thing..
Only reason I have one is in picked it up for $50 and its actually feels like a nice little unit..so sometime soon in the future someone around me is going to get a good little machine that is running a stable lollipop version.. Who's it is I don't care..

Josh,
All good, look forward to playing with anything that you put out..
As I am not beholding to anyone Rom or Kernel..As is most users, we are a fickle lot.
But my comments still stand, as I flash and follow a large number of developers and understand that it can get frustrating as a developer\rom supporter to field the same basic questions time and time again.
Wish you well and just think of this thread not as a competing thread but as a thread that takes a bit of stress of your reading and answering.. As I see you have spent considerable time answering posts across threads.. and would love to see you keep doing that for the benefit of all those that still hold one of these machines..

yes, there shouldn't be any animosity as stated,
its a thread to take people off the original TF300T threads and to take them away from your modded version..
too much drama going for such little return so its better to give people an out and let them banter elsewhere..
Damn, I flashed the v15 for the tf300 with the compatibility pack, and it just didn't run as well on my device as Josh's tf201 v14b. Looks like i'm SOL unless Tim's tf300 versions get more compatible somehow. .... and just when this POS was starting to show some life.

No.. dont take that personally.. it was not aimed at you..
but the tone of the thread in general the way it was going..
We can agree there is a lack of support for this device among developers..
and at this stage there is no dedicated single developer with a rom that they can call their own..
and as the TF range is not supported by updates by Asus then it stands to reason what little support in the forums will be used..
So all good..
this is a win/win situation for TF201T users..
and those that want to explore the new found freedom of flashing and making this tablet at least useable..
As I have stated before. .. I kinda like it.. and when I had it on 14b I had it stable..
its just that I am a sucker for punishment that I like to look ahead at where it could be...
and while I do that I dont want other posters giving me a hard time where to post..
thus....this thread has been created..

yes, I am still playing with it over the next few days... could even end up back on 14b..
As we know.. not all machines are the same..
my most stable was on Tims V14b with compatibility before I played around with F2Fs..
So there could be a slight difference in chips, screens that makes one work better than the other on the different versions..
Dear I ask.. if Josh wants to answer...
What actually is the difference between the two?
As for me so far I would say..
its only script tweaks to reflect that its infact a TF201T and deletion of the .int script..
As Basic Rom is same and Kernel is Same.. ?
As noted I am on the Grimlock 5.0 kernel now... so any upgrade by hardslog is going to be a bonus
Does anyone here have the necessary skills and experience to produce a compatibility pack to give a similar result to lj's 14b ROM?
From going through his thread I found the following three posts about changes he made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57235985&postcount=10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57266435&postcount=30
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57644092&postcount=103
Would the sensible first steps be to start with the Grimlock 5.0 Kernel and apply the changes like Josh did for his versions?
TF201 Reverse Axis
I got a new screen for my TF201 and it is the model that it seems all of eBay has which has the reverse axis issue. I know there's a way to fix it which would mean having to recompile the kernel with the fix in the touchscreen driver, but I was just wondering if anyone had done it for themselves and they could post their kernel or driver here. It's usable with the keyboard/mouse but I didn't get this for a small laptop.
Question: How to root on 14b with Grimlock 5 kernel
Now 14b (KatKiss Q&A TF201T ) thread is closed, so we cannot post there.
However, I have a question my configuration: 14b and dirty flashed Grimlock 5.0 kernel (I did the same @dgcruzing wrote there)
Now I lost root and don't know how to root again. I tried to use "Superuser-3.1.3__46___-efghi-signed_Final", which failed at TWRP.
My TF201 works fine, stable and fast, so I will stay at 14b+Grimlock 5, but would like to have root access to have TitaniumBackup working, for example.
Could you tell me how to root it again?
Thanks in advance,
Özgür

If you want to build!!

Folks I am going to try N push as many roms out for this device as I can, only because we didn't have a lot of optional roms with kk, but now that I have learned more I will do the best I can. If anyone here wishes to take over one or some of my threads and maintain the device just let me know Please? I'm in NO way trying to push anyone out, I just want there to be options for you! My Candy5 rom is mine tho, SlimLP as well, I'm not willing to let them go just yet. Also as soon as PacRom has released their nightlies I will release my Pac build for this device! Again, if you wish to build, I will turn my thread over to you because I can't maintain every thread/rom as often as I'd like. This is just a heads up so everyone knows what to look forward to.

Know how you feel man. I need 64 bit computing to build and only one of my dinosaurs runs 64 bit but its sadly lacking in the memory to complete the builds. I came thiiiiiiis close to my test build completing. So I just flash other people's efforts.

Well if ever either of you, or both, become ready to compile I'd be happy to help you get started. I'll also give away some of my threads. When that time comes just hit me up with a message here or on Hangouts.
My builds are going to be less supported as I do not have the time to maintain so many roms for one device. I'll really help someone get started if they wish but please don't expect updates from all of the roms I have here. You can do this!

I'd like to help with this but as my PC is slightly antiquated my last attempt at a build failed. I may try a dual boot with ubunu or bbqlinux so I can max out my limited resources for one more try. Can't say when yet...life keeps getting in the way.

I definitely understand about life getting in the way. I have a house full of kids and my android addiction gets in the way at times. Let me know when/if you try to build again and I'll for sure give a hand working out errors and whatnot.
Step one completed. Now have the old Vista dual booting with BBQ Linux. Removed virtualbox client packages as it is installed properly and set it up with a beautiful grub splash. Even defaults to windoz for my wife.

Step two done. Built cm10.1 as a test and it is flashed on my phone and working.
BBQLinux apparently works out of box as was said on their thread. First attempt at build stalled out after about 10 minutes complaining of a missing shared object library. Version in folder was one off from the one being asked for. Renamed a symlink to match version number and build completed in about 2 or 3 hours. (64 bit Vista/BBQLinux dual boot with 4GB actual ram and a 12GB swap file)

That's awesome! Great to hear you compiled your first booting build. Congrats to you and hopefully many more booting builds yet to come.
I have a fresh Liquid build if you all wanna check it out? Give this lots of time to boot up, believe me it takes longer than my other builds!! https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952593312
