Dang! I'm impressed! That's definitely worth knowing about, as the
tablet was utterly unusable. Thank you for documenting this!

I may do this to my Nexus 4, and eventually the One+. I just wish there
way of rooting some of this older Android hardware back to a stock Linux
rather than an Android flavour and its locked-in UI.

Hmm, I know that TW stands for "Team Win", but is that a sly reference
to the Canadian band TWRP? If you like electrofunk played by immensely
talented musicians cosplaying from their own dimension¹, you'd love TWRP!

cheers,
 Stewart
