I currently still revolver flashed 0.21.

Is it worth it to switch from revolvers to Prime 1.6?

Right now I'm actually quite happy with the speed of the rom

Before I tried Prime 1.5, since this rom with me but not so smoothly ran, I've changed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xsacha:
Hi,

I just got an Asus Transformer and would like to flash this ROM.

I noticed in the instructions it says:

> 3. Boot into clockworkmod recovery

I guess I have to install this first.

Are there any instructions for installing clockworkmod on 8.4.4.11 (which I currently have)?

Thanks

- Complete Noob

Edit: Should I just follow this guide ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125714 ) before following the instructions here?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ghisy:
I should get my Transformer tomorrow or on Friday and will probably flash this too!

Just a few questions:

- 1.6 kernel is based on 1.5v2 so I don't need to flash 1.5v2, right?

- does the PCB Blue theme (by scar45) work with 1.6?

- if I wanna push the Xoom button through adb, where do they go?

- what mod is default on 1.6: regular, recovery or reboot power menu?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Try resetting the battery stats in cwm

Thanks a Lot:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
It's totally your choice mate. You could take a backup with clockworkmod recovery and then if you try this and then want to go back to revolver you can simply restore your backup.

-Flash the full rom not just the kernel. The kernel can be used later on if you try others and then maybe want to come back to this one without having to reflash the full rom again. (Understand the difference between the kernel and the rom).

-Probably not but I'm sure scar will have an update soon

-I'm sure someone will post the Xoom buttons soon...

-The recovery mod is default

I hope you enjoy your Transformer when it arrives. Happy flashing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] eli.kennedy:
Thanks again for this update! We all really appreciate the work you put into these.

Gotta buy you a beer.

I love getting to work and seeing a new ROM update! Now I can procrastinate for a few minutes and play with this before starting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
You're most welcome, as is everyone else.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
Just to let Roach know. He made the same mistake Gbufabio did. You did not apply the patched srs_processing.cfg from 8.4.4.11. The speakers are back to being unbalanced which the 8.4.4.11 update SHOULD fix.

No biggie but you might want to do a v2 to fix that. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] antoniouslj:
What are you talking about? I shined over every post in that article! :-P
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ghisy:
I know the difference between a kernel and a full ROM, I was just wondering if the new 1.6 included the 1.5v2 kernel (that's improved from 1.5).

I'll wait for the theme update and Xoom buttons and YAY! for default recovery mod (it's the one I was interested in).

Thanks for the super quick reply, will post feedback when everything has been flashed! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
So wait did you actually try the Xoom button flash? I make the flashable zips but not actually modifying the .apk. Are you for certain it doesn't work? I just noticed it didn't flash for me and said installation aborted.

Let me know because I got the zip to work again. If you are certain it doesn't work, I'll reupload a specific flashable zip for PRIME 1.6 for XOOM buttons.

I also inboxed you this question.

@deadman: isn't the fix just changing src_processing.cfg or is there more to it?

Because I'm comparing the hotfix gnu did and the one included in PRIME 1.6. I don't see a difference in

//BLOCK: (srs_spk_int:) TruEQ - Internal Speaker Tuning
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
So, my mini feedback on 1.6:

I was actually surprised by how slow it was right after when I flashed it. Until I flashed back Netformer 1.5 and overclocked it back to 1.5Ghz, which brought things back to normal (and I think maybe slightly faster than on Prime 1.5).

All in all, great rom, thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] scar45:
Well done Roach! Thanks for your hard work!!

I will surely be making a PCB Blue theme for v1.6 (read that Ghisy? ;)), however before I start making changes, and any other 'bug fix' versions of 1.6 come out, do you think the framework/sysUI will be staying the same? I'd rather not have to keep re-making my theme for minor updates, as free time is nearly non-existent for me these days...

Anyways, it's really only my problem to worry about, and thanks again for the 1.6 release! Now it will be interesting to see what the HC 3.2 update from ASUS will bring. Looks like I'll be making at least 2 more versions of the PCB Blue theme! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] matrix311:
Is there an NVFLASH method to update to v1.6? I've installed prime v1.4 and prime v1.5 to my TF via the NVFLASH method in the past. Just curious if this is available for v1.6 as well. It's possible I missed the download link for this upgrade method.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
Roach it looks like you broke something with audio on 1.6. Even if I replace the srs_processing.cfg (Overwrite it in Root Explorer) and reboot the sound remains unbalanced. In both 1.5 and Gnufabio's ROM overwiting the file fixes the audio balance issue. It's like your ROM is scripted to ignore the new fixed srs_processing.cfg and use it's own unbalanced setting.

Can you please look into this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
I don't think that's out yet. What ROM are you using?

Just flash PRIME 1.6 on top of what you already have. I went from,

PRIME 1.4 -> PRIME 1.5 -> Revolver 0.2.1 -> PRIME 1.6.

All without wipes.

And if anybody wanted XOOM buttons instead of the ASUS white ones. Can you confirm if it works or not? If it doesn't, then I'll upload a newer version of it with XOOM buttons.

PM/quote me.. whatever.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jinsoku3g:
Xoom buttons worked for me, however, instead of a battery icon I have a mail icon...wtf
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Yeah. That's the problem I was having i was like UMMMM. And my SD Card was coming up as yellow. I'm uploading a newer version of the XOOM buttons right now. Seems to be running fine for me. Full XOOM buttons, battery is battery.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?k4eae5uk3j6hg98 is the flashable zip.

MD5: 05309C50213D68DF579BF9DE200ACCFF

If this doesn't fix it, then try this. [this applies only if you flashed the previous .zip for stock 8.4.4.11]

1. Reflash PRIME 1.6

2. Flash a kernel (optional)

3. Flash my zip

4. Boot

It probably played a little bit funky because Roach did some modifications to the SystemUI.apk and the Android system was running stock SystemUI.apk so it was acting weird. That should fix it. Let me know how it goes, works fine on mines.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] krash183:
xoom buttons for 1.6 please
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
I don't know. All I know is that overwriting the old srs_processing.cfg file with the patched 8.4.4.11 file fixes the balance for me in Gnufabios ROM but not on Prime 1.6. I tried deleting the file and copying the patched file in and rebooting but the speakers are still unbalanced. I was wondering if Roach has a script running that implements something to do with the audio/speakers that forces his own settings or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
already posted. let me know how it goes. and sorry if im jacking your thread for xoom buttons :p

@deadman3000: Yeah I just looked into myself with Google Music and it seems like the right speaker is higher than the left.. at least twice its volume
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
Thanks for confirming. Replacing srs_processing.cfg does not fix it though which I find strange. I used the exact same file I used when I found that Revolver had the same issue. But replacing the file with the 8.4.4.11 file fixed it on that ROM. It's like it's being ignored or something with Prime 1.6
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
The only change I have made that could affect audio is to remove the extra zero as shown in this thread. - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14589900&postcount=2

It doesn't sound like it makes any difference on my transformer but other people had said it does with them so I added the 'fix'.

I am using a stock kernel so maybe the custom ones has something in them that fixes the imbalance. Have you tried any of these?

After patching the stock srs file, i.e. putting the extra zero back in, the sound experience should be exactly as if you are running full stock.

Please let me know if any custom kernels fix the issue and i'll try a rom that has the imbalance fixed as I've always had the right louder than the left and would love to have this sorted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Actually, I just noticed quite the opposite behaviour.

Previously, my sound balance was a little off (not too much but noticeable), with left speaker being slightly quieter. I never bothered to fix it though because it wasn't crucial.

Just listened to some music via speakers both in Music and in PowerAMP and played some Order and Chaos and I'm pretty sure that the balance is now fixed for me, after flashing 1.6.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] matrix311:
I'm currently on Prime v1.5. I just tried updating to Prime v1.6 but I keep getting an error in CWM saying E:Can't mount /sdcard - how do I resolve this?

I downloaded prime v1.6 and copied the zip file to my TF. I rebooted into recovery and when I choose the option to "install zip from sdcard" I get that error msg of unable to mount /sdcard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
It won't be changing mate and this will probably be the last release until 3.2 comes out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Have you considered removing bloatware btw? Some things which noone ever uses, like Layar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Do you have a sdcard in your microSD? Your PRIME 1.6 ZIP needs to be in /Removable/sdcard/ not /sdcard/. Put a sdcard in that slot and put the zip in there and try again.

@GwynBleidd: In addition, I definitely would like PressReader removed. That is a old version and a newer version of it is available on the market that is optimized for Honeycomb.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jinsoku3g:
I didn't use the new xoom buttons, just reflashed rom then flashed the old one and all is good, battery looks normal now, xoom buttons back
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Actually I spend some 10 minutes in Titanium after each flash and remove everything I don't need manually. I think somewhere around 12-14 apps or so.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I haven't touched SystemUI.apk - The wrong icons are showing probably because the resource values will have changed from Asus last update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Ah ok. Well I'll just leave that there incase anybody needs it. For some odd reason my old flashable zip said installation aborted

@Roach2010: Yeah. There are two versions of it. The pre 8.4.4.11 one and one for 8.4.4.11 it was working fine on other ROMs. But nevertheless, all is good now.

Does the newer file look like it evens up balance to the left? I don't understand what I am looking at. If so then I cannot fathom why it's no longer working on your ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
This is exactly what I have experienced before, the sound on each TF seems to be different and the fixes are somewhat subjective. Some people have the left louder and some the right. For me I have always had the right louder and no matter what I changed the values to, I could never get it to sound any different. I've been trying to fix mine since The olden days of Prime 1.3 :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Diablo67:
So You were able to flash netformer 1.5 successfully?Nice.Excelence on the rom roach.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Yep, no issues. Just in case, I always wipe dalvik cache right after kernel flash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dazz87:
I had to change the value on the Revolver 0.2.1 by Gnufabio. All Gnufabio did was set the value (gain) the numbers in the middle for both the left and right speakers to the same value. On my TF I had to adjust the right side a bit more to get my speakers to balance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
You could save yourself some trouble and remove them from the zip before you flash it.

I'm reluctant to start ripping stuff out the stock rom since it's easier for people to do this themselves than it is for them to add stuff back in that's wanted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
This might be relevant but there are TWO missing files in the system/data folder. When I flashed Gnufabios ROM it has two extra files. One named srs_processingLN101.cfg I think and another which also had extra characters. These are not present in Roach's ROM.

EDIT: I overwrote with the 'left speaker balance fix' file and it's shifted back to the left again (although a bit too much). I don't understand why it does not work with the patched file from 8.4.4.11 which did fix the unbalance that Gnufabio's ROM reintroduced. Kinda annoying as I don't like messing with the numbers in the file to try and get it right. The 8.4.4.11 file DID before. ?????
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
The files you mean will be JN101 and SL101

These I suspect are for the Journey and the Slate - 2 upcoming Asus tablets.

I doubt that these are active on the TF but for ****'s n giggles I will see if adding them makes any difference

Removing them from the zip doesnt need a resign?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
It beats me. I've gone back to my previously modified file. Guess I will never know why on Gnufabios ROM the 8.4.4.11 file worked. Perhaps I messed up and DID used my modified older file instead and did not realize it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] forgiventhief:
I was running stock for a while, then i got the OTA update. My battery life took a nose dive. I am on Clems Rom now, but am curios if flashing Prime and maybe an older kernel would help battery issues. I get from perusing the forums that it is a known issue? Anybody who tested this ROM able to comment on difference in battery performance between this ROM and Clems?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nascar Dog:
Cool!

I just noticed in "Settings - About Tablet - Battery Use" it now shows which apps are using up the battery.

This has never worked before.

hows ui on dolphin.? optimized for tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nascar Dog:
Yes on Dolphin HD 6.0
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thaddyusmaximus:
I give up. I can't get flash to play smooth using the hacked hulu version or standard version on the stock browser. I tried the prime kernel, clemsyn kernel, wiping cache, delvik and fixing permissions. Nothing seems to work.

Dolphin does however play smooth. Dolphin actually was my primary browser on prime 1.5 and I used the stock to play flash. Now it looks like i'm ditching the stock browser and using Dolphin as my primary and Opera for downloading files.

The "new" market is made for phones. It is not optimized for tablets. But if you must insist, download the APK of the new market that you see everywhere and install it. It should work without any problems.
