OmniROM for ASUS MeMO Pad Smart (ME301T)

About OmniROM
See what OmniROM is all about: http://omnirom.org/about/
This ROM is created because there are people who use the Asus MeMO Pad Smart and would like to have a choice. I personally do not own an Asus MeMO Pad Smart, but since the device is pretty simular to the TF300T, i am building this ROM together with the TF300T.

What do you need
OmniROM is a custom ROM and to be able to install a custom ROM, you will need to unlock your bootloader. You can unlock your bootloader from the Asus website. Please be advised that you will loose your warranty.

  • To be able to install OmniROM you will need TWRP 2.8.x
  • You need to have TWRP or CWM installed
  • You will need a flashable GApps package
  • You need SuperSU if you want to have root access

See the Downloads part of this message for the needed packages

How to install
To install OmniROM please follow these instructions:
  • Boot into recovery and flash the TWRP 2.8.0.0 (or a higher version) ZIP
  • Reboot the tablet into the old ROM
  • Reboot into recovery again
  • Do a factory reset / full wipe
  • Flash the OmniROM zip file, the GApps ZIP file and SuperSU ZIP file
  • Reboot the tablet and enjoy OmniROM

Downloads
Below are the files you need for flashing OmniROM:

I am trying to use the bootloader unlocker and it errors out. Says something about network and try again later.

What does this mean exactly? The device has internet and is connected via wifi. Browse and download just fine.

Unlock TF300T
This problem is widely discussed on several forums. Please Google it if you want to unlock your devise. A very helpful way, I think the only one, has been advised by @berndblb in 2015:

1. V8 does not install at all anymore. Keep your hands off. V7 will install if you allow "less secure apps" in your Google account settings. On the web - not your Google account on the tablet!

2. Delete the Google account from the tablet (Settings > Accounts), then run the tool again,

3. If that doesn't do it, do a factory reset from Settings, reboot and during the initial setup establish a WiFi connection but skip the google account setup, then run the tool.

This can be a 5 Minute operation that goes without a hitch or a very frustrating experience with lots of error messages. There is no definite rhyme or reason for this. For some people it works like a charm, for others it works after 15, 25 or 55 attempts, for some never....
To check finally if you are unlocked, boot the tablet and read the tiny script in the left corner above. It should say: “The device is unlocked”.

Thanks, I will try to find v7.

Looks like I will never get this to work. v7 = device not supported lol =(

You are welcome! BTW using the thanks button is always a good manner.

What does it mean: "v7 = device not supported lol =" ?
As far as I know all tablets of the transformer family are supported for both unlock apps V7 and V8. So your device as well. You may go ahead as advised above. Then you will see what will be happen.

Homebuild versions
The homebuild versions are NOT official versions of OmniROM and are build by myself. The reason for these builds are that some changes are not committed to OmniROM yet and might be interesting for you. One example is the multi-window feature. This feature is not yet included in the nightly builds.

Get the homebuild versions below:

I have a question for the me301t users. I have created a workaround for flashing this rom with TF300T based recovery (CWM, TWRP). When a ROM gets flashed a check is being performed to see if the rom matches the device so the chance of flashing a wrong rom is minimal. But a recovery compiled for the TF300T will check if the rom is ment for the TF300T. This means that a ROM for the me301t will not be flashed because the check will fail (me301t does not equal TF300T).
The workaround adds TF300T to the check so it will not fail.

Part of the Omni build process is also building TWRP so I have a TWRP specific for the me301t. This version is exactly the same as the TF300T version with one exception and that is that the recovery will check for me301t instead if TF300T.

Using the me301t recovery has one disadvantage and that is that roms for the TF300T cannot be flashed anymore. So my question is do we need a separate recovery or use the TF300T one.

The greatest treat the ME301T users could EVER receive.

I'd be jealous of the ME301T owners if not for your slick TF300T version :D

You are correct sir. It is a great treat.

Thank you so much scanno. I really appreciate all your help and hard work. The ME301T has come a long way since I got mine and now I'm very happy with it. :D

As far as I'm concerned, I say it's whatever is easiest for you. I'll be happy with either way. :D

For now I will not post a separate recovery for the me301t. Perhaps when I am sure that both tf300t and me301t roms can be flashed with it.

Are you aware of the bugs yet?
As I love AOSP roms, I have already flashed this one. It appears that auto-rotation is not working yet. I do not have a logcat of this issue, as I do not know how to debug it for you. Checking sensors from Elixir 2 shows that most of the "motion" sensors do not give any feedback.

I have yet to check whether GPS works or not. With GPS test it seems like the devices sees some satellites.
EDIT: GPS is working

In the TF300T Omni Rom thread people keep referring to multi window but I'm not seeing any settings for it. Is this something that can only be done on the TF300T? I've also noticed auto rotate doesn't work and that there isn't a setting for that either.

Oh, and one other weird problem I'm having is with usb debugging. When I connect my tablet to my pc not all of the files are showing up on my sdcard. I can see them on the tablet with Root Explorer but not in my pc file manager. Do I need to reformat it coming from 4.3 to 4.4? Or is this just happening to me?

If you go to the recent list (the right button) you can press and hold an app in the list until you see a small menu. There you can select add to split view

Think i know why the sensors are not working. Proprietary file scripts were not working as it should. Try this build to see if the sensors are working

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407567766

No, still not working. Oh and I found the auto-rotate settings, it's been moved to accessibility. If anyone else is wondering.


This might not have anything to do with it but just so you know, we were having the same issue with rotation for 4.3 roms on the me301t and nikybiasion and hardslog had to change the sensorservice file in /system/bin/

Nikybiasion said that the problem was that the sensors were being detected as mpu3050 when they are supposed to be mpu6050. Apparently THIS commit was what fixed the auto-rotation.
