Okay, I wasn't sure if having a different TWRP version installed already had a different installation process. I used the fastboot method to install 2.6.3.1 and I like that way. Probably will stick to that if I do upgrade. I also got CROMi-X running smoothly, very much so enjoying the options...

So far so good. I've been busy this past week so haven't gotten to this until today. I was able to unlock my device first try, for which I was grateful. And now I'm on to the custom recovery. I downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.1, but I just noticed version 2.7 was released over the weekend. Should I just...

Got it. Yeah, I've checked for updates pretty often and I haven't had a new one in a while haha Okay, I most likely will at least want to check out that CROMi-X or a ROM that's close to Android 4.4. Thanks for being patient with me, guys; I wanted to at least talk to someone who knows about it...

Okay, so you're saying that if I didn't have the most up-to-date firmware, it would not contain the most up-to-date bootloader that I could unlock, and if I wanted to flash a ROM that required a more recent bootloader I couldn't do it (or I could install the correct bootloader), right? On my...

Okay, so would it be better to select which ROM I want to flash first, then find the bootloader and recovery that are compatible and then install the three in sequence? When you say bootloader, do you mean I must select the correct method of unlocking the tablet? Or once I unlock the bootloader...

Gotcha. Okay, I think I'm going to try and do this. Starting slowing and going to backup apps and make a nandroid backup soon as I can.

Okay, so I'll just need to figure out which Gapps I want and find a version of them that is compatible with the ROM I want to flash onto my device?

Okay, that makes sense. So what about the gapps? Researching a bit, I think I understand that a gapp is something I can install alongside a ROM and both the device and the version of Android off which the ROM is based determines which gapp I should download. Installing a gapp matching my device...

Right! One more thing: is gapps something different than a ROM? Can a ROM be compatible with Google services or not? If it's not, would I need to install a gapp (does that just stand for Google-apps or something?) alongside the ROM to enable usage of Google services? How can I tell if a ROM...

Okay. Let me see if I got this. First unlock the tablet via a utility like the ASUS utility they provide on their website. Next, root the tablet via Motochopper. Next, install a custom recovery like TWRP Goo Manager. What is the difference between Titanium Backup and Nandroid Backup? Do they...

Ha! I mean Cyanogen... whoops! I guess my brain read what it wanted to read.

Thank you for welcoming me haha :) let me see if I follow you... Okay, so I've got to unlock my device before rooting it, and using Motochopper can root it. After granting root access, I need to use a custom recovery application (like TWRP) before I can install any custom ROMs. Now, are...

So I've had my TF700T for a while now, and I'm thinking about rooting it, but I don't know where to start nor whether or not what I'm thinking about doing is even called rooting / installing a ROM. This is what I want to do. I want to use my tablet for playing mobile games and for running some...
