I rebooted to recovery and carried out a backup so I could get back to my original state if I wanted to. Once I had these files downloaded and copied to an external micro sd card the install was very simple.

The distribution I chose was the KatKiss ROM which has android 4.3 because there doesn’t seem to have been an update to cyanogenmod for the transformer for over a year. I then just needed to download the JellyBean zip archive and the archive of google apps to go with it.

I installed this from the Goo Manager app, simply choosing Install OpenRecoveryScript from the menu and following the menu prompts to install TWRP. In the end I installed a different recovery system – the TWRP or Team Win Recovery Project. I tried booting into the Clockwork Mod recovery which I installed when I rooted the device and running install from there, but the external micro sd card wouldn’t mount and if I tried installing from the Rom Manager GUI itself the app just locked up and stopped responding. Unfortunately I couldn’t get Rom Manager to do the install. I had used the Rom Manager application from the Play Store to install the Cyanogenmod version of android and I expected to be able to also use it to change to Jelly Bean. I got to the point of researching a new tablet, but thought it worth while trying to upgrade to Jelly Bean first to see it that improved matters. However the tablet has been getting slower and slower over the last few months, and although I have the add on keyboard dock, the battery life was also becoming shorter and shorter. It’s a nice tablet, with an optional keyboard dock which has usb ports, a full SD card slot and an additional battery fitted.

I have an ASUS Transformer TF101 10 inch Android tablet which I rooted a year or so ago and installed the Cyanogenmod version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich on.
