Introduction:So I see you have found my Android M Preview ROM thread. So... You all might of seen this. It's Sony announcing that it's AOSP open line of Xperia devices can now build Android M and is showing devs how to build it. Apparently things aren't exactly that way. Google created under it's source code, an alpha branch for the upcoming Android M, what that branch contains is mostly Android Lollipop code and some Android M stuff. This branch will evolve to become Android M, but at it's current state, the ROM is in between Android lollipop and M (kind of a weird mix of a sort that's why the build number is 5.1.51 and the easter egg is the one of lollipop). I will however provide weekly (hopefully) builds of Android M as it becomes more M than L. Keep in mind that the current release of the ROM (as of 25-6-2015) does not contain the new API's (for devs that are interested). You can see Sony's official explanation here. If you are still interested though in checking out the current state of Android M be my guest though keep in mind that in it's current state it is FAR from a daily driver (modem and camera are the most major of bugs currently) and most if not all of the cool features on Android M developer preview for the Nexus line probably are not currently included (as on 25-6-15).
Warning
This works only on UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS. Keep in mind that the ROM was built for the D6603 I don't know if it will work with any other variant of the Z3. In addition flashing this might erase recovery on some devices. Also I take no responsibility of whatever may happen by using this ROM.
Downloads (please read the Introduction if you haven't, its important )Kernel
System
Userdata
Installation:1. Backup EVERYTHING (Your SD card included. This ROM has proven to be unpredictable as of storage on some handsets).
2. Download the Kernel, System and Userdata images
3. Get yourself a working ADB/Fastboot installation (more on that on the kernel page)
4. Flash the kernel as described on it's page (Steps 1-7)
5. While still in fastboot mode enter these commands in the command prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash system (directory of system image)
fastboot flash userdata (direcotry of userdata image)
6. Reboot your device and wait for it to start up
Bugs:
Graphical Glitches
Camera
Modem (no phone calls/messages/data etc.)
Bluetooth
Random Force Closes in most Apps
Recents (some times)
Random other stuff
Erases all storage (internal and external) on some handsets

I can't believe what you just posted
Hahaha @Griffiths_Anna why so?
@CedArctic
it may be that the flashing the rom erase the baseband
have you tried to reinstall a baseband after flash the rom?
@Gustavo RD78
Actually I haven't, even Sony states that Camera & Modem are guaranteed broken. Even if the modem was fixed (which I believe it will in the next few weeks) the ROM still needs a lot of work for all the other bugs. Although about the baseband, I think M requires a special version of the baseband because even when you flash the official M preview over the Nexus 5, you have to flash a new baseband that is compatible with Android M. I am currently away from my Z3 but if someone tries it out and confirms it working I would gladly add it to the main thread.
Wow, that was fast, need i say more??
@corpsegrinder62 Actually, considering the announcement date it is fast. I dualbooted my PC with linux just 36 hours ago, downloaded the sources and compiled... XD

Some modem components are stored on /system and not included for legal reasons in Sony's AOSP binary releases. https://github.com/SuperBenevolent/aosp-vendor-qcom-proprietary
At least with L-MR1, the ONLY things missing for modem to work are the blobs above. Dunno about M, I'm not bothering to mess with it until official M release.
Woaw, nice to see android m being worked on even though it's in its early stages.
Is that my build you are running?
Installed a few minutes ago. Thank you for compiling the source code.
Am I wrong or can´t I flash GApps?
Edit: Also I cannot use any storage. Not internal and not sd card
@Silveryard Yeah there are like lots of bugs... I hope some will be solved in the future. Storage is definetely one of them. I never tried to flash gapps though
It´s because some .apk files (like the play framework) cannot be installed with adb install command and require a custom recovery kernel or root or root for writing permissions in "system"
I don´t know much about compiling a system image but is it possible to place the gapps files into the right folder right before compiling everything in one file? This would help much and would make this preview much more usable in daily life.
Thank you! I'll be trying this on my D6653.
Made an installation video.

@squabbi Cool bro @M-Rom Congrats for your work bro, I saw the FlyMe OS port... simply loved it... although I'm curious how did you port it? Because I tried to do so in the past... @Aaahh I'll take a look into it. I think storage is just the storage-list.xml in the framework.... Thanks for the guide

What? I'm not sure what your talking about
Just to repeat, those are the actual M preview apps and I "fixed" them so that you can add them to your rom
@Aaahh you posted a quote of me about storage and I said now that I think I know that the issue is in the storage-list.xml in the framework. I will include your apps in the next build, but for now I am focusing on a different project until M becomes more stable...

Announcing Sailfish for the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact!
This is not Android!
This should be thought of as a development experiment. It may be useful if you are a developer and want to write/port apps the the Sailfish operating system. It is not an end-user product, however, if you wish to experiment and try something different then feel free!
Please do not contact Jolla Care or Jolla Developer Care, as this is not the Jolla phone.
Special thanks to:
rss351 and locusf for the collaborative effort in porting SailfishOS to the Z3 compact
Everyone from the SailfishOS team/community, sledges and mal- in particular.
All Cyanogenmod devs, since SailfishOS uses drivers from Cyanogenmod to talk with the phone's hardware
Known issues:
Bluetooth isn't turned on, cause i've put no effort in for that so far
Camera doesn't work, cause it's not hooked up to interface.
No recovery inside hybris bootimage (you need to flash manually to return to cm/use recovery)
Sensors dont work (auto-adjust brightness, etcetera)
The Jolla account/store functionality is not enabled. This is being worked on by Jolla. In the meantime: use openrepo's warehouse (see bottom of this post)
What works:
Booting, basic usage of the OS itself (browsing, etc)
Texting, calling, data over mobile network (2g and 3g tested, 4g should work but is untested)
Wifi (both 2,4 and 5 GHz)
Power management seems to work fine (not tested much though)
Looking around and getting a feel for SailfishOS
Using your phone to develop and debug SailfishOS apps.
Installation guide/checklist:
Insert default warranty void message here. Your warranty is now void
Make a backup (just to be sure)
Depending on what you need from your phone, this may not be a rom suitable for daily driving with. But installation is non-destructive to your existing rom, so if you're curious, give SailfishOS a try
I have not tested this on locked bootloaders, but since I needed to modify the kernel, I guess that you need an unlocked bootloader.
Note this is not an official Sailfish OS build, and the Xperia Z3c is not a Jolla phone, so please don't report bugs to Jolla. If you want to report a bug, this thread is perfectly fine for that.
BEWARE: this image is NOT optimized for security. The phone boots in development mode by default. There is a root shell on telnet port 2323. This is not secure and will give anyone who wants it remote access to your phone. When the port matures this will be fixed.
The Sailfish OS image does not provide recovery, and since the Xperia Z3c does not have a recovery partition, you need a bootimage with recovery on it to flash cm/stock/sailfishos upgrade. I highly recommend using Nut's Xperia files for this. Use the boot.img from your Cyanogenmod installation.
The Sailfish OS image is based on a recent version of Cyanogenmod 12.1, so update your Cyanogenmod installation while you are at it. Use cm-12.1-20160523-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip if you encounter issues with other versions. Using another rom is not guaranteed to work, even if this rom is based on Cyanogenmod.
You can find the required zip in this Mega folder: https://mega.nz/#F!ucoRnDjD!WAHNWgxLQX5SK1Vdu8MRWw
Use your favorite recovery (but not CM's recovery since that checks for signatures, which this image does not have) to flash the zip.
If you want to return to Cyanogenmod, extract boot.img from your cm-12 zip and flash that with fastboot. Alternatively you can restore a previous backup. There is no need to re-flash Cyanogenmod because it was not removed by installing SailfishOS. You can remove the /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/ folder afterwards to reclaim disk space.
FAQ
You can find a FAQ which mentions most common user questions for SailfishOS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general/qa-sailfish-n4-thread-devices-t2727330 . It's mainly aimed to the Nexus 4 and 5, but it's fairly applicable for all other ports as well.

Sources
You can find all used source code (may not be up-to-date to the latest image, but all key components are there) here: https://github.com/xperiasailors/
Installing OpenRepos warehouse
OpenRepos warehouse is like what F-Droid is versus Google's Play store. An unofficial, community-driven repository of open source apps.
Go to settings->developer options and set a password. Then open a terminal or connect over ssh to your phone (ssh [email protected]_of_phone).
Download the latest version of the warehouse app from here: https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
When you are asked to terminate packagekit anywhere in the steps below, answer yes.
Code:
$ devel-su
# zypper rr adaptation0
# zypper in <location_of_rpm_you_downloaded>
After this Warehouse app will be in your app launcher.
Impressive work! :good:

Just having a go now.
Edit: just stayed on sony screen. Would it be because I came from SLiMM 1.8 ROM and not from a CM based ROM?

Probably, yes.
SailfishOS uses libhybris for hardware communication, which in turn uses the existing Cyanogenmod installation for drivers and proprietary blobs. But hybris is compiled against a certain Cyanogenmod version, so using other roms as a base might fail.
I've updated the TS and put the exact CM version I used in there, that should work fine.
There are any news? The project is in development?

No news, I don't spend much time on this port, every now and then I fiddle around with it an evening.
I'm currently trying to get AOSP based Sailfish port because Cyanogenmod for Z3c seems unmaintained, but progress is very slow.
Thank you for the info. Do you know when a version (sailfish port) comes out?
Hello! Thanks for your work. May i know the progress ?
it would be great to see a real "european" OS coming out of the dust...
i hate the thought that any company from the other side of the atlantic are wheels in the monster of patriot act...
@maikoool Any news about new build or something?
Yes, look here:
https://nokius.net/SFOS/scorpion/PreAlpha/
But still no Cam, no BT, No Sensors and No video playback
AFAIK is the 'scorpion' the Z3 Tablet compact, so not the Z3 compact. The base images will probably be the same.
I've recently rolled a build using AOSP 5.1 from the Sony Xperia developer pages, but my Z3c has developed an issue where the top and bottom of the screen don't function, so I cannot test properly.
Aries is device name, right? What's scorpion ?

!!!!PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE PROCEEDING TO FLASH THIS ROM!!!!
This is based of @vampirefo 's LineageOS , with my tweaks as I now use the port section to test and share with others to help the original LineageOS by @vampirefo to gain fixes
What works : so far , Ril(sim cards) , Bluetooth , Wifi , Audio , Microphone , HotSpot , Rotation .
Bug: Camera (really hard to fix)
P.S- THIS IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER READY ROM , THIS IS PURELY EXPERIMENTAL AND FOR THE JOY OF IT. DONT COME TO ME IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG . FEEL FREE TO REPORT MAJOR BUGS , BY MAJOR WE ( THE R1 HD'S ROUNDTABLE TEAM ) MEAN BUG AND GLITCHES THAT HINDER A NORMAL DAY 2 DAY USAGE OF THE ROM....SMALLER BUGS WILL BE LOOKED AT LATER IF POSSIBLE.

Ive Been looking around to find new roms that i could port to the R1HD. Ive ported about 5-8 roms that work on the R1 HD but only 2 works flawlessly but the others have a camera issue ( camera not connecting ).
Now ive found a x32-bit CM14.1 for the MT6735 , that works on the device that it was built for. Of course I quickly went to attempt to port it but no luck as of now. The issue seems to be that the /system partition is not mounted correctly in regards to our boot image .
Here are the links for those who want to look at it with us ( R1 HD's Round Table )
Where i saw the post : https://vk.com/smart_rom (scroll down a little bit and you guys will see cm14.1 mt6735, they even made a 64bit now)
Where the test builds are posted and also the sources : https://github.com/olegsvs/android_device_archos_persimmon/releases (now they are testing Resuretion Remix 5.8.XX)
It just to prove that MT6735 can also be running Android 7 as well.
As a team we can make this happen and bring new life to the R1 HD.

For our Phone
Cheers
Keep THE good job
quick update,found another CM14.1 thats compiled for a MT6737 device with a 3.18.19 kernel , i'm going to test it out because one of the port i made was also from a MT6737 device.

aospkeyboard.....during setup avoid anything that requires you to type anything just skip them , then once pass that go to settings->about phone to activate develloper mode , then go to developer mode to enable usb debugging , then on your computer head over to apkmirror to download google keyboard or GBoard(new name for google keyboard), once downloaded open CMD(command prompt) or terminal (for mac n linux users ) type adb install ( then drag the downloaded keyboard in this spot of this message with just 1 space apart from last typed word wich is install in our case then hit enter)........once the install is complete head back to setting then language & input and switch it to GBoard or something else if you decided to get a different keyboard.
with the new cm14.1 that i found today thats built for a 3.18.19 this time actually mount's the system partition and now im able to grab logcats and dmesg ect.... right now what im seeing are egl/mali errors......but i really think we could use that source and use our binary files to build the r1 its own cm14.1 tree
other devs check update 2 in OP.
Modifying an updater-script from a different device and ROM would not necessarily work. IIRC, The Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S Blaze 4G was able to do that, but in this instance, with different phone hardware, this would not work. Luckily, you did not get bricked from doing this. Unless you are completely building from source, with the R1 files, these dirty ports will take a hefty amount of time. I recommend building a device tree and start building with the kernels that either you have found, or have been created on this forum.

from my experience with porting , modding the updaterscript doesnt cause much threat since i remove any other potential threats to the device and of course i dont flash the boot.img that's for the other device....pretty much i modded the updaterscript just to that it flashes the rom to the right partitions for the device im flashing , yesterday was the first time i ported a kernel (boot.img-kernel) from another device's boot.img and it booted the R1, the only thing that did not work was the sim cards since the kernel was compiled with a different driver that was for the other device. it even added in the settings menu a fingerprint option (of course did not work) even tho the R1 does not have a fingerprint sensor. so my conclusion was that the other device is pretty much a clone of the R1 with a slight difference in some hardware , the purpose of the kernel port was to see if it will boot the r1 wich it did but more is the fact that the other device has a defconfig for a 64bit version as well wich the R1 does not and building a 64bit kernel for the r1 would allow me to port over so many more roms. I really wish the devs of this community would take interest in this because this would change the R1 alot.

Unless we can actually compile a fully working rom for the R1 , for f2fs to properly work both rom and kernel has to support it..that also includes the twrp.
As of now we still can't figure out whats missing that's stopping a compiled rom for our device (ex. cm13 from @vampirefo and @bullet25 )to boot.

Hi Guys,
I have found cm12.1 and cm13 for our Xperia P in a Webstite.
Cm12.1 is really stable and works like a charm.But Cm13 has more Bugs like Camera,Wlan etc.
Lets start
Installation - CyanogenMod 12.1
Next, you need the CyanogenMod ROM.zip, the appropriate GApps, and the corresponding boot.img - which also contains the Custom Recovery TWRP to flash and successfully boot the Android 5.1.1 based ROM. Copy the CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM.zip to Euner Xperia P, and reconnect it to your PC in fastboot mode, as described in the previous section. For the next step, the boot.img must be in your fastboot folder. Opens the input prompt and returns there
PHP:
Fastboot flash boot cm121_boot.img
on. Next, you reboot your Xperia P by either turning the device off and back on again. Or the command in the input prompt
PHP:
Fastboot reboot
Or use Flashtool for flashing of kernel
. Once the SONY label appears with the graphic of the CyanogenMod STE project, press the volume down and power button several times to reboot the device. Swiped at the start in the query to the right to allow changes to the system partition. Now select the menu item "Wipe> Advanced Wipe" and tick "System, Data, Cache" and "Android Secure" and confirm the selection by swiping again. To complete the installation, go back to the Install menu and navigate to the location where you previously copied the ROM and GApps. Flashes them one by one and reboots the Xperia P.
The first boat takes up to 10 minutes, and ends in the menu for the initial setup, as you are used to with a new device. Congratulations, you have successfully installed CyanogenMod on your Xperia P! Bold among you, can also try the
Installation - CyanogenMod 13
It is same as CM12.1
CyanogenMod 13, which is based on Android 6, but is still in an early development phase.

I tried_ this version of cm12.1 its most stable than any other version but not very fluent in use.
But almost perfect for dailyuse
GAPPS error
I have flashed cm12.1 into my LT22i. But have an issue with GAPPS. Play store isn't lunching and it keeps closing up. Otherwise it's good rom, UI felt like butter

Well its stable fast and usable for daily use but dont know if its faster but its good ROM.

Dont expect that we will ever get CM13.0 on Nypon cause of hard building part and that BT is disabled because if its not u will get boot-loop.
i would need a dev that already ported a rom to help me with this.
Its not easy to port it.
Any help from a dev or porter is needed to make CM13.0 to work cannot do it on my own.
Good and bad news
First good news : i have managed to build lineage OS 13.0 and not bad news TWRP looks ugly bad text and the entire UI is not right how it should be and next problem rom is not bootable after kernel screen there is no boot animation just black screen forever . But i will try to fix it i updated TWRP to 3.0.2.0 and still the same UI problem so probably Kernel Issue but weird that i didnt even touch kernel source and still problem.
Thats it for now I will try to fix it.
And if anybody who have experience in this can help me i will be happy.
Maybe @CBNUKE will have spare time to help me with it.
Thanks.
Update on Development (Not yet working but close)
Found the problems source: I did forgot to patch the source on my first build so of course it cannot even boot. But now i little bit screwed my source code of lineage OS by trying to find solution to errors that popped out by applying patches.
So will re download source and hopefully after patches i will get working bootable ROM (Really Hopefully)
I will post a new Thread about it if i get at least basic stuff working.
And of course i will post the ROM itself if it will work.
And again any help from somebody willing to help and knows basic stuff about ROM porting will be Welcome.
OK not Working but here is it.
Test on YOUR OWN RISK.
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE OR IF YOU GET BOOTLOOP !!!!!!!!!!!
SO IF ANYTHING BAD HAPENS TO PHONE IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT !!!!
MAKE BOOT AND SYSTEM BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING !!!!
I have builded the ROM with patches but the same errors remain like bad UI in TWRP and not bootable system it will not even show Boot Animation but if anybody want to test it here is the ROM:
HTML:
https://ufile.io/un7oe
.
i have some patches that i havent applyed so will apply those and see what errors will it fix.
And if anybody flash it and know this errors then please tell me how to fix them
EDIT: added another patches like build patch and external_icu patch hwcomposer patch libhwui patch ste mutimedia patch (3 of them) and still not even a boot screen im woried that i will not even make this rom bootable
EDIT2: maybe found a way to fix it i probably need edited frameworks and system/core folder so going to do this few days later then will post and update if its was sucess or again a fail.
So i downloaded cm 12.1 source and will build daily build for this device until i figure out what the hell is wrong with Lineage 13.0 and cm 12.1 build will come out in few days need to configure the source for our device.
EDIT: I dont want you to be unhappy but there is like 1% change that i can fix all the problems in CM13.0 without a good team of devs and testers i cant do anything so dont expect ever daily runner baser on CM13.0 or even basic stuff working on it im student 17 years old yes i have a lot of C experience 9 years but thats doesnt change that i cannot do everything alone or with help of @AGONTUK its just lot of stuff to fix mainly boot so if anybody with some experience in this can help i will be happy.
i have all needed sources on my github so if anybody can help do it on github: My Github.
Have first build of CM 12.1 but i can see boot animation this time but it doesn't boot yet but another biiiig problem is no TWRP.
Main priority is TWRP so faster I can fix it the better: Probably will use android 5.1.1 repo TWRP and update to 3.0.2.0 TWRP if this will not help then maybe it's releated to not bootable system maybe have a fix but it needs more time.
And second priority is bootable system: I might have solution to this one but not totally sure.
Third priority after we have bootable using ROM is to make it fast:
1. Linaro instead art.
So in few days or week or so will post update how it's going. Maybe sooner if I get working build.

Checked system/app and dont saw any odex files so yes i can make deodexed rom.
And also i have fixed TWRP error and tested just kernel and can boot rom with it now just to make system boot
Main issue with TWRP is FIXED even on CM13.0 and CM12.1 its fixed but both still dont boot up cm 12.1 atleast show me boot animation but cm 13.0 didnt do even that and its stuck at black screen i send few people message to help me with this and waiting for reply. Im looking trought my CM12.1 boot.log and i cannot find the error still what is causing it to not boot. And also i changed CM12.1 boot animation to the one included in LineageOS.
The problem was in TWRP that it choosed wrong PIXEL_FORMAT_BRGA_8888 instead of our PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_565 so now it looks good now.
Here is link to this build: CM12.1 NOT BOOTABLE WITH FIXED TWRP FOR HELPING WITH FIX.
PLEASE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DONT INSTALL IT ITS STILL NOT BOOTABLE ROM.
Well cm12.1 still not booting at all but I'm going to delete the source and redownload by tutorial by friend (helping a lot Thanks) and if that fails I don't know then but hopefully we will get working build of cm12.1 and for now I'm deleting cm13.0 source since it needs a lot of work to be usable but will talk with SergeyL (he have device with same cpu) and will see how will that work if his work will be usable then if everything works perfectly (unlikely) then maybe cm14.1 but as I said unlikely so wait in few days for hopefully build of cm 12.1
Its working !!!
The best news i can tell you i want to share my Working build of CM12.1 !!! The build will be avaiable to download in few days in new thread (will tell the name later) but best of all is that working stuff is exactly like CBNUKE builds and the boot took 10 seconds Wooow.
Got new security patches 1.11.2016 (no newer since CM12.1 got no new updates.
Thats all i wanted to share.
---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------
Its still build on CM source but will download Lineage Source and compile again but with cm source it was just test if i can build it and yes i can so after compiling Lineage will publish here
The Unlegacy Android Project
TF201 | TF300T/TG/TL | TF700T
Introduction
Unlegacy Android started out as the OMAP4-AOSP Project. It was created in late 2015 in order to maintain a clean and organized place for pure AOSP support for various OMAP4 devices, such as the Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 series. Over time this evolved to support more than just these devices, but still maintains its roots of supporting "legacy" devices that no longer receive "official" updates: hence Unlegacy Android was born. In our opinion, these ROMs are how the official updates would look.
On top of AOSP, we only include changes which are necessary to support the hardware, be secure, and get acceptable performance. Current features for Asus Transformer Series include:
- Linux kernel 3.4.y (currently 3.4.113)
- BFQ IO scheduler (official kernel 3.4 release), set up so GUI processes have the highest priority
- F2FS support from kernel 4.9 (for /data and /cache)
Installation
You must have NvFlash backup. It is MANDATORY!
You need to use modified TWRP recovery that works with updated F2FS. If you're planning to install GApps, be sure to read the second post!
Problems
Non working/Known bugs:
- Touchscreen failure (sometimes occurs, if touch works after reboot it will work till next reboot);
- Camera (both);
- Dock special keys (top row);
- GUI crashes; - occure less often
Currently, I'm only one from Unlegacy Team, who has TF device. Help in developing or device donation would be highly appreciated.
Downloads
See: http://builds.unlegacy-android.org. Our automated builds ensure that we always have the latest Android security patches merged in, without having to manually start and upload builds Else is enclosed in downloads.
Latest information about OREO builds can be found HERE.
Features?
There isn't much to say here - this is AOSP, if you install GApps, you pretty much get the same thing that's running on the Nexus devices (see the second post). The aim of this project is to create a fast and stable ROM - although, one could use Xposed (or similar) to add extra features.
As usual, feedback is appreciated

You may join Telegram development group, where all fresh staff is published and tests are made.

Unlegacy Android Project, ROM for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
Contributors
Clamor, Ziyan, Narkolai
Source Code: https://github.com/Unlegacy-Android
ROM OS Version: 7.x Nougat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
ROM Firmware Required: Bootloader 4.2 JB
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Beta
Created 2018-02-18
Last Updated 2018-10-17
Installation gide (for those who uses F2FS)
Before installing ROM you need to update your current recovery with this TWRP, else you will get a bootloop with next format from fastboot. Install zip from your current recovery and reboot into your current system. Than boot into new recovery and install ROM (with factory reset).
Currently 3.4 kernel isn't stable enough for daily use. You may use updated 3.1 _that16 kernel, it works fine with this ROM. To make wifi work with _that16 kernel just move nvram_nh615.txt from system/etc to data/misc/wifi and rename to nvram.txt
You may use KatKiss 7.1 if you want, but you must flash a _that16 kernel every time after flashing KatKiss ROM. Else you will get a bootloop with next format from fastboot.
If you want to go back to ordinary TWRP, you need to make a format from fastboot, flash TWRP and make formats from there as well.
REPARTITION and TREBLE
TF201 users know well what is repartition. While flashing 4.2BL from HB internal storage is reformatted. This thing is exactly the same.
I worked on it for few last weeks to make it stable and simple enough to any user to install this update. As usual NvFlash is MANDATORY!
So, UA_Bootloader.zip includes latest JB4.2 10.6.1.27.5 bootloader, modified TWRP [email protected] from Downloads section and my new partition table. It's main benefits are /system partition increased to 1GB and /vendor partition. This means that we may install bigger gapps packages and support of TF's may be extended plus having /vendor partition gives us at least hardware support for Project Treble, even if there is no 8.1 builds currently.
Before installation copy everything from tablet on PC, else all you data will be lost! To install this update just install it via TWPR and when flashing is finished press reboot into system. Than wait till blue line gets to the end and tablet reboots. Tablet will than stuck into ASUS screen with Device is Unlocked sign in top left corner. Than reboot manually into recovery and format /system to ext4; /cache to ext4 or f2fs; /data to ext4 or f2fs and you are good to go.
New partition table is compatible with all existing ROMs for TF's. If you flash ROM with system in .img file you need after flash into recovery do Wipe -> System -> Advanced Wipe -> Change or resize partition -> Resize filesystem. If you want to restore 4.2 state you can flash HB bootloader or Bootloader 4.2 attached in Downloads section.
Thank you very much for your work !
I see you have done some modifications on github. Can you explain to me how generate system.new.dat & system.transfer.list from your repo in order to create an updated version of this ROM ?

Actually you can't build fully working ROM from my source for now. If you would like to help in developing - PM me.
Do I need stock tf201 bootloader, or is this based on the hairybean boadloader? Like Katkiss ROM is based on.
Thanks for sharing this ROM.

Based on latest 4.2 bootloader (like Hairybean). I'll provide a bootloader + new TWRP and separate TWRP as soon as I get a stable recovery build.
General Feedback
Finally got around to flashing your ROM a week ago, following your instructions, everything went fine. I installed your UA-bootloader and flashed _that16 kernel.
Running pretty smooth with Pico gapps installed, after a week, the usual happens, slow loading apps etc, but that is not the ROMs fault, the very slow memory that Asus put into it and Google is slowing it down with constant syncs etc.
Was wondering if you had added compatibility for using MicroG?
Thanks for keeping this old tablet going.
@goosebickel sorry for such a long silence. MicroG are supported as I can say (I installed them but didn't test much).
P.S. If you are still on UA rom there is an update.
Oreo 8.1
Yesterday I have quickly build 8.1 ROM for transformers. There doesn't work almost anything and I won't have excess to my TF201 for a while to fix stuff Rom can be booted with same requirements as N roms. Here is first build. Please don't post any issues/logs from O for now. I know already about all major issues.
Thank you!
Great to see some development for the Transformer Prime
I have some good news. Here is mostly working build with issues from N + non working bt. I'm still working on fixing staff so this isn't last build.
P.S. Remove system/lib/hw/bluetooth.default.so to avoid constant bt crash

I'm planing to bring up P as well. If O works, P should work as well.
Can the ROM be installed by using the latest KANG TWRP 3.2.3 or do I need to use the TWRP found in the download section?

We are very excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Quartz, based on Android 10.
On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app, included in our builds.
Our builds are based on the Code Aurora Forum Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Thanks for bringing PA to our device. The install went perfectly, but setup kept asking me to insert my SIM card. I have Verizon. I was able to connect to WiFi, but couldn't get it to recognize the mobile network. I did try turning airplane mode on and off, but no luck.

Oh sorry, that's my bad. I accidentally forgot to switch to AOSP's RIL, as CAF RIL will not work. I'll fix it and upload a new build soon.

Most ROM instructions usually tell you to wipe /system, but this is not actually necessary on Pixels, since there's an A/B setup, so that's up to you whether you want to wipe system. I usually don't. And a factory reset should wipe both /data and dalvik, so that's not too hard.
The mobile network fix worked !! Good Job.
I'm getting Carrier Provisioning Service force close. I sent you a PM with a link to a logfile and hope you can read it.
A feature I'd love to see in future builds is Volume Steps.
Again, Thanks for your work here.
No bells and whistles but fast and smooth as to be expected
from PARANOID ANDROID brilliant thanks love it ?.
Excited to install again once it becomes stable
Apps take over the screen and I am not able to access screen buttons. I love that it is a CAF ROM.

You gave the wrong zip for sailfish, it's actually marlin.
Hey there!
Can we expect an Android 11 build in the future? That would be amazing! :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately, the sailfish build didn't work right, so it's only on marlin for now. However, I'll come back to building PA on 11.
