I did a fresh install of 1.3 and when I goto settings/applications and click on Manage Applications. settings.apk FC's. Anyone else having that issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Curtisbeef:
Nope just tried settings and its working fine...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hatman41:
Ok thanks. Guess I will do fresh install again and see if it still does it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timothydoanpham:
how do you get the kernel from .12?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Zach Alt:
new boot sequence is pretty awesome! thanks man, love the rom!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mailvamsi:
Updated to 1.3, working great, thanks again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JaiaV:
I modded the SystemUI.apk for 8.2.3.13 to use the stock HC buttons.

http://db.tt/cVW38Ix

Enjoy.

Note: Do not install, make sure it is named SystemUI.apk and copy it manually into your System/Apps folder.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hatman41:
That fixed it....I had tried to merge the theme that I am using into the rom to save me some time. Once I reflashed the rom and then flashed the theme it now works great....now they need to get the transformer added to Rom Manager.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
I'm excited to get home, root, and then flash this. Good to see that the lack of aosp source hasn't stopped developers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dirwdirw:
can't wait to flash this!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
So I just rooted, do I need to wipe before flashing? I'm backing up everything in CWM now (taking a while) so I figured I'd check.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CelticWebSolutions:
Hi Mack,

for an easy root guide go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
[ROM] Transformer 3.1 pure root

Thats the most straight forward, it does nothing othe rthan root and allow you to install Cloc work mod. Once you've done taht you can update your Clock Work Mod (CWM) and then use it to install the prime rom.

Basically it is a little bit smoother and snappier to use with a couple of additional features suh as battery percentage showing in dock, choose of boot options when you hold the power mod etc.

once rooted you can add various 'tweaks' and apps that you woudl otherwise not be able to do. The most noteable one being Titanium Backup and you can do other things such as installing ubuntu, access and modify files you woudl lotehrwise have no access to.

You can also get different kernels which allow you to overclock as much as 1.6ghz (makes TF pretty damn nippy!0

There are other roms besides prime which offer different things, Prime is just quicker without bloat really. It's all I wanted and works really well.

As for 3.2, once it's out I'm sure Roach will do a 3.2 prime version if you'd liek to stick with prime. It seems as versions progress, root becomes less and less of a requirement, All i really use root for is backup and system tweaks.

Hope that helps, I'm sure tehrs will fill you in on more possibilities with root on a tf soon enough, you'll love your TF i'm sure !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Versions' progress isn't related to whether root is needed or not. Yes, they become more polished and snappier, but that doesn't mean you don't want root.

Basically, as for rooting:

- you get an easy tool to backup all your apps and data to store them safely, transfer to a new ROM or a completely new device;

- you have access to customizing various visual components (e.g. fonts, boot animations, % battery, etc);

- you get access to fine tuning system level tweaks like ext4 filesystem mount options or RAM management;

- Voodoo sound! (is a must, really);

- overclocking, over and undervolting;

- you get the ability to load additional external kernel modules (e.g. CIFS, for mounting your laptop's/desktop's/HTPC's network shares).

With an easy method to unroot in case you have to return your device (and there is such a method for TF), there's really no reason NOT to root and NOT to have a custom ROM free from bloatware, tweaked and sped up.

CWM is a must as well, easy backups of your whole partitions which you can store on external card, your home server or wherever else, plus a number of useful tools like wiping battery stats.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
I totally agree with you on all of these points. But the person you quoted was basically saying. Root is really nice to have, but it's not a necessity. To us hardcore users (myself included) it is a necessity. The device can function out of the box without root. If you used the G1 (first Android device), it was a device which pretty much relied on root. If you didn't have root, the phone would be a awful experience with very little space to store your apps. And so forth. It was just a mess, the phone relied on the microSD card.

But yeah, I really don't see a reason not to root the TF101. It's very easy to do and very easy to undo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] makcrellon:
Thanks all for your advice.

As mentioned I currently have my Desire HD rooted, so underclocking/overvolting, Titanium Backup, and having granular control is quite important.

I'll root my new TF as soon as it arrives.

Thanks all!

Mack
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
As an addition, don't use that root guide. Just use NVFlash to get your way onto PRIME 1.5 (reports say that Prime 1.5 .tar.bz2 doesn't really work but i cant confirm anything.. if it doesnt work use the Prime 1.4 to do it) then flash another ROM on top of it if you'd like (such as Prime 1.5 or Revolver)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] phlunkie:
prime 1.5 nvflash worked for me a right after it came out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
yeah i was just saying.. for some people it didnt work. i already had prime 1.5 flashed so i didnt bother nvflashing since i had the ROM already
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CelticWebSolutions:
What I meant was as versions progress they quietly add additional features that used to be root only, so for your average every day user, you don't need root. I personally rooted mine the day I got it. I use CIFS to mount network shares directly into my file system from my web servr and NAS so it's a must for me. Overlclocking is something I used to do years ago with chrio cooling systems and water cooling etc so I like to tweak and fiddle, while overclocking the TF makes a noticeable difference, it's a bit like the old days where it made differenceto benchmark figures but it didn't make such a massive difference that you coudln't live without it, I'm on standard kernel with 1.6 at the mo beta testing and I don't miss overclock at all really. I sometims notec it but it's not a deal breaker.

You stated about voodoo sound, I agree it's a must but only if you aren't using built n speakers, if you only use built in speakers it's a total waste of time as it has no effect.

If this was an IOS device ten I'd say root (or jailbreak as it is on my iphone) is a definate necessity but on android these days..... its more of a tweakers thing. General everyday use doens't really need root at all.... Or at least thats how I see it :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Well, I'm more or less a perfectionist, so my stance basically is:

If you can do something that can make the device faster, more functional, good looking and overall better, then why not do it? Especially if it can be done and undone easily and doesn't have any downsides.

But yes, I agree that everyday average users can live fine without rooting and on stock ROMs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
That's the same thing I ask when people are on XDA and insisting that they want to mod their phone to look differently but they don't want to root.

I can't understand how people think sometimes. But that's just life :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wimpanzee:
Root is a must for me, as my TF is a laptop replacement, and I had to have VPN, which means loading tun.ko because our IT department is stupid and doesn't know how to configure a VPN.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Q.Entity:
Our IT department is more stupid than your IT department :DOn the phone with them right now and feels like I am at the dentist!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pcardenas:
How can you receive OTA updates using a cutom rom?

Is prime 1.6 going to include this update??

Thanks!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jateelover:
does this rom boost the speaker volume? I have it installed, and it seems to have boosted it right to the max..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bukithd:
I'm switching over to this tonight. I hope to see the devs continue great work on it especially seeing how good asus has been throwing out updates. I have an incredible and waiting on GB is like waiting on a million dollars to fall in my lap.

all I can here in my head when I look at this rom is Megatron yelling optimus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
Can I offer a suggestion for the next version if you have not already done this.

Use the new srs_processing.cfg from 8.4.4.11 it corrects the speaker unbalance and generally sounds a lot better.

Use the wifi channels 12-13 fix SQL file to enable those channels for European users (you can probably include this for everyone as it's not transmitting it's just receiving but I am not 100% sure on legalities in the US).

See if you can also include the dock update posted above me. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mattykellyuk:
Can anyone help? The market shows I have 74 apps installed but titanium backup says I have about 90something. I can see apps are missing. I have cleared data with no change.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:
I believe that also includes the apps included on the ROM and anything you installed without using the market.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bukithd:
Is it normal for my transformer to boot into an energy star screen every bootup? 1.5 prime obviously.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nightmarept:
Yep, it´s prime bootloader :P .
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonitfcfan:
You can't really, I think Roach2010 removed the apk that normally checks for and performs any available OTA update on a stock ROM.

Are you talking about the 8.4.4.11 update? If so then yes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonitfcfan:
Yes, that's the bootloader of choice for this ROM, designed on purpose to mimic a PC bootloader :). If you look closely it evens displays correct info such as Android OS version and internal memory capacity :P.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Done and done!

The dock update came out in May so has been there for a while.

I have written a script that allows toggling chans 12-13 on/off but i'm tempted to just enable it on install for the final release.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
You mean bootanimation (for the first part) ;) not bootloader.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

My opinion is enable them without worries :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jcpq:
Sleep of death, does anyone know the solution?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sanderfox:
@Roach: any ETA for 1.6 final? I can't wait to have the new fixes installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 24601:
From an issue-specific perspective, root was necessary for me in order to have my rooted Hero wifi-tether using an ad-hoc connection. Thx Roach for including that in 1.5.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] antoniouslj:
Supposedly, it's fixed in 1.6.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lanwarrior:
So upgrading from PRIME! v1.5 to v1.6 (whenever it is released) is fine WITHOUT wiping the data? Only wipe cache and dalvik is OK?

I have a Thunderbolt and it is such a problem phone that upgrading even to the SAME ROM but different version number requires MULTIPLE data, cahce and dalvik wipe. Wipe data 4 times, wipe cache 4 times, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
You shouldn't even have to wipe cache or dalvik imo. Never a problems and i flash a rom every night on my nexus 1;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 24601:
I flashed the v2 kernel over top without wiping anything, and no problems so far (a week or so). However, there seems to be a lot of chatter that wiping cache and dalvik "feels" better. I'd like to hear a dev explain the benefits of wiping.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ToyTank:
FYI many consider it ungrateful or rude to ask for ETA's, just some etiquette for ya.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lanwarrior:
I thought the same for my Thunderbolt, but if I don't wipe data, cache AND Dalvik, I am getting forced closed, significantly reduced battery life and other sort of problems. Judging by the posting in Thunderbolt forum, the wipe is a MUST before installing a ROM.

Anywho, if you (or anyone) confirmed that wipe is NOT required for the

Asus Eee

, I am more than happy to follow the advise since I do not have to re-install and re-configure all the apps and settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pcardenas:
I'm talking about the dock firmware update EP101-0209. I've readed it fixes the typing lag in stock browser and improved battery drop... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lanwarrior:
Is this the recent update provided by Asus?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chatch15117:
Prime 1.6!!! Waiting :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pcardenas:
I thinkl it has been released 2 or 3 days ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] al2x:
Can't wait for 1.6! Any way into looking into bugs like typing on the laptop dock and accidentally grazing the top tip of the touchpad? Also, the fact that the display of inputted text anywhere in the web browser has a 5-15 second delay?

Thanks for the hard work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jonitfcfan:
Yes, of course I do :o. Thanks for the correction.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:
0209 has been out since forever. It came out with 8339 which was like 2 month ago.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Odinbear:
All i Know is

I did the update when it first came out.

Then while using the tablet via my mobile WiFi yesterday it said there was an update, so i ran it.

Then to test came on the forum and posted results. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] antoniouslj:
Where exactly did you "readed" that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 24601:
+1 One of the first rules of XDA is not to ask a dev for an eta. The devs put in many volunteer hours making our devices better. The reason Roach hasn't posted 1.6 is because he is still testing to make sure we get the best rom possible. Patience, pls.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ondoy1943:
Please be gentle; obviously english is not his native tongue. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] antoniouslj:
Nevertheless, I'm still curious where he read it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pcardenas:
Here's the thread:

http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-general-discussions/2915-ota-update-today.html

I've just read it again... Maybe thery're talking aboung .11 update... :$

Thanks Ondoy1943, obviously you're right :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aatrek:
Is Prime! available in ROM Manager? I'm planning on rooting tonight and installing 1.5 on my Transformer, but I'm just curious if I should always download from this XDA thread...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Rom Manager not even compatible with the TF. Just download from OP
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] antoniouslj:
I actually read through every post in that thread... and here is what I gleamed:

- The update improves boot time and overall fluidity of the OS.

- It includes small fixes to the My Library app and the popup for using another input method other than Asus's when plugging in the keyboard dock.

- It

doesn't

fix the bug where the device stays awake while attached to the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sanderfox:
My apologies, I was not aware of this. I meant no disrespect nor did I want to see him hurry or anything. Just asking out of interest, nothing more.

Best regards,

Sander
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aatrek:
Okay, thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pcardenas:
Thanks for your help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fone_fanatic:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LNKNPRKFN:
everytime i go and download any of the files they wont extract...says files are corrupt amd the md5sum are all incorrect..anyone else having this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CelticWebSolutions:
I have done in the past yes, my downloads were finishing before they'd actually got the whole file, I just kept trying and I think I eventually used a different browser on my computer then transferred to tablet Instead of downloading directly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tchoukito:
Do you have any update about v1.6 and SOD FIX ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ToyTank:
Are you Clark Griswold?

+1 I'd also like to know if Roach uses twitter. I did not see anything in his sig.

Does anyone know if there has been issues testing the beta?

I was thinking he should have typed "readed" every post just to keep it going. Maybe his tablet is so clean it gleamed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blk_jack:
You can catch him on IRC. From what I gather, not alot of people were giving him feedback with the beta testing and that may be what he's waiting on.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Feedback? Roach never asked for any beta testers. I thought it was a internal beta by himself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] phlunkie:
Beta tester

What does it take to be a beta tester. i would love to help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blk_jack:
He's been asking for beta testers on IRC in addition to testing it himself. He's given out the link to download the beta in the chan.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mr.stylo:
Donation ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Eh. I've seen a group of developers known as "Team Whiskey" who gave donators early beta test versions and they were highly criticized for that then they made the betas free to everybody because of the criticism. P.S. i know it was a joke :p

@blk_jack: Oh I see. I guess not many people including myself are informed about the IRC channel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
I'm in the irc channel. Lonely.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] W4LLY:
I thought I read somewhere that Splashtop doesn't work with this ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
It works for me. Splashtop that is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] W4LLY:
What Kernel are you running?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LNKNPRKFN:
thx i will try another browser
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
it worked on stock and on nets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Sorry to hear you had trouble downloading. I will have two active links and a torrent available for the next version.

So far I've not had any reports of SOD. Prime! v1.6 uses the new stock kernel since it seems that Asus have changed a few things in the 8.4.4.11 build. This is speculative and unconfirmed until we get the source. (Unless we get Honeycomb 3.2 before that, then who cares about this version :p)

I do have a twitter account but I put it down somewhere and now I can't find it. The account mentioned is not me, Roach2010 was a popular name for registering on forums and such last year which is a shame for me cos I've been using it a lot longer than that.

I had to use an earlier version of Splashtop in this rom since the 8.4.4.7 one was giving me force closes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] StingRay_:
Thanks Roach! Looking forward to getting my hands (& Transformer) on Prime 1.6!:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I just though I'd pop in and say hi. I've been pretty busy the last few days with work, gym and squeezing what's left of the day/night into getting the kinks worked out with the new rom. I just can't seem to stop fiddling with the scripts and have broken them completely on more than one occasion.

Thanks for all the support it has been good to read your comments.

...oh, I nearly forgot, you may want to check back here in about...oh, say about an hour ;)

same. thanks for the bump! wouldn't of noticed it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GeminiRx:
And there it is. Downloading now. (Both)

I am on prime 1.5. Do i need to flash the entire 1.6 rom or only the 1.6 kernel update?

Mannnnnyyy thx!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Entire ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GeminiRx:
Thanx for the quick response.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
First link is live, second one will be soon...

...And there it is.

I just realised I left the Asus update client in there but it shouldn't detect any future updates due to changes I made to build.prop
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Any difference between 1.6 and beta2 1.6?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Before anybody asks,

No wipe coming from Revolver 0.2.1 everything seems fast and snappy.

Glad to have power mods back! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CelticWebSolutions:
same question from me, I'm on b2, is tehre any differece in the release?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
The wifi chans 12/13 auto switch on after first boot and languages for the power mods weren't in beta2. Also the framework has been redone since the beta.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Diablo67:
Thanks Roach,been waiting on your update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mattykellyuk:
I just changed to zoom button via adb seems ok.

Funny bug tho battery is on 3% but icon looks about 3/4 full?
