Got my tablet earlier this evening finally, and within 4 hours I got it rooted and flashed Primordial 3.1. First impressions, I think the bios like boot screen is freaking awesome!!! Anytime I build a mobo, I get ASUS...so it's nice seeing something familiar.

Also, the binary bee is pretty nice too!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Freelancerx:
so should we be wiping before installing this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] VoXHTC:
Good question. What is WW mean anyway?

I guess the mindreader portion of my dna ran down my daddy's leg in 78'
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
If you want to be safe but I didn't. I flashed Hr5 over stock than Primodial v3.1 over that. Everything working good.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Freelancerx:
Just wanted to say that everything is running perfectly on my new transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JaiaV:
Same here. This only seems to happen when I have my TF docked...it happened on the official update as well. The battery life of both the dock and the tablet also seems to be significantly worse than Prime 1.3r2 with OC to 1.6.

There's no benefit as far as I am aware, I've never had any issues when running US build on my UK device. It is possible that there may be regional stuff going on behind the scenes but as I said, nothing I am aware of.

The Patch is there purely for people outside the US who are OCD about running a WW build on their device, myself included.

WW means WorldWide and is used as a catchall for countries that don't have a specific regional build.

I compared the two builds and put the files that were different into the WW Patch, these were mostly only a few odex files and some shared libraries.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] erreesse:
I am on the prjmordial 3.1us , my tf101 was ww originally.

Some time the asus keyboard crash, when i use "strange"key (press blank key left-side space key)

I try the patch later to see if solve.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] popophobia:
Thanks for much for this!

Just wondering, do you mind do a TW patch as well? There are only three versions, and you've done 2 already.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
There's four versions, US, WW, TW and CN. I could to a TW version but I would need a systemd dump partition from a device running the 3.1 TW build first. Or I could use the asus files when they put them on their FTP server in a few days.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Skater4599:
Is everyone using the stock Kernel with this rom? Is there any kernels that are out that work with 3.1 and this rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] popophobia:
You're right, I didn't know they haven't updated their website yet.

Thanks for this :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
So is this basically "PRIME 2.0?" Or are you going to be making another version of that later and this is just temporary until then?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
Okay? That's not what I was asking at all. I don't care about the name or number stuff. I was wondering if he is going to continue building off this ROM or create another one later. Because I thought I read it was just temporary. That's all.

seriously considering installing this but i have some questions.

First, i want to make sure that this will be exactly like the US 3.1 update with just the additions. all the included apps and everything

second, will you continue to update this with any future asus releases including the dock updates as well?

if so, well then you got another user.

battery life

How are you guys finding battery life with this ROM?

Before I rooted and installed the ROM I thought battery life was great, however with this ROM I feel as though its about as bad as my N1 (i.e. pretty bad).

Maybe I have a rogue app, but just want to check other people's experiences.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
No different in battery life for me with this ROM.

My N1 battery life not that bad either but it all depends on your definition of "bad".:D

Try a different browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] residentorca:
Don't know about the patch but I can confirm that the MD5 posted by Roach is valid for PRIMORDIAL v.3.1 as it matches the one I installed.

P.S. You could try downloading the file with different browser as indicated in post above this AND to different media to see if that helps.

Have you tried clearing data for the market app?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cerchiara:
Ya I cleared cache, data a few times and it still got stuck loading. I did a clean format afterwards, dalvik cache 3 times and put both 3.1 and patch and the problem was still there. And I knew it was the patch because I reproduced it twice only after putting the patch on.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cerchiara:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DisturbedAle:
Now I'm new to the Transformer Scene, like most are, but what are the advantages of using this ROM over stock ROM?

I see a huge difference between stock rom on my MT4G and CM7.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
At this point the only real advantage is for slightly better performance, partial deodex, busybox and custom kernel modules. It's just that if you were already rooted you only have a choice between primordial and modaco. The advantages of a 3.01 custom ROM will eventually carry over to this (over/underclock, full deodex).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] igot6strings:
I too would like to know if its possible to overclock now. And if so what Kernal?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
No not yet. Soon...were still waiting on Asus to release the 3.1 kernel source.

A problem during update to 3.1

I need some help !

I follow all steps in the thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106587

The final step concerned this rom (3.1 US)

For patch US rom with WW, I do un unzip of each archives and I override (if needed) files of US with files of path WW. Then I zip the result and named it "PRIMORDIAL_v3.1_WW.zip" and copy to my SDCard.

I reboot in CWM mode and try to install but during the flash, the message said that process failed.

Please, say me what I do wrong ?

Thanks for our answers
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] poussinou69:
I think you don't have to unzip anything with the ww patch, just flash it in cwm recovery after flashing the us 3.1 Rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Evostance:
Any particular reason ive lost access to CWM after flashing this ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
You shouldn't lose CWM, that's a strange one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] residentorca:
Did you also lose root?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tcpsyn:
I'm running primordial 3.1 and I just had my dock delivered today. I seem to be experiencing the issues people were talking about before the newest MobileDock firmware. I've verified that I'm on 0209, but still experience frequent keyboard disconnects. Not only when the lid is closed/opened but also in the middle of use. Is anyone else still seeing this behavior?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Angelllus:
Thanks. All work fine now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Evostance:
Hmm after several attempts at a reboot CWM is back lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
The rom can't do anything to your cwm as it doesn't have a recovery partition.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Mobile network is there because some Transformers have 3G, or will have soon. My rom is based on stock as not everyone (myself included) want's stuff ripped out of it, that's when you can find that you removed something that seemed unimportant at the time but later turns out to be quite important after all.

By all means, try and remove it and if you can then please post feedback so others can decide whether or not they want to do the same.

Also, space is not an issue with the Transformer so there's no point trying to save any.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Hi mate,

To answer your questions,

Firstly, while I try to keep the rom as close to stock as possible, I won't give any guarantees as to what end user experience will be, just look at the different issues various people are experiencing in the thread. Most of these are problems stock users are having too but occasionaly new bugs can creep into custom roms. Pretty much you flash at your own risk.

Secondly, I have no immediate plans to stop updating my roms and any new features Asus put out also will be in my roms since they are based on stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I'll see if I can replicate this and post back...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Nope, Mines exactly the same.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Me, my dock has been down more times than a hookers knickers.

I suspect Asus are working on it and didn't have the update ready in time for the 3.1 release.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cerchiara:
Thanks man!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] popophobia:
I see. I was on 3.1 TW version and we had no mobile network. So I guess they didn't separate the Wifi only and 3G version of the US and WW variants, but do for the TW variant.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] neok44:
the 209 update fixed the dock dissconnects, so if your having issues it's because of this rom. which is why i'm nervous to update.

I have a stock 3.1 and stock 209 update and i haven't had a single keyboard disconnect since i got the 209 update. Same with everyone else stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cerchiara:
I'm on this custom rom and I did a update of my dock to 209. Not seeing any problems so far... was I not supposed to update the docks firmware while having a custom rom on the tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] benmyers2941:
Is anyone else having market issues? I keep getting "error processing purchase".
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seh6183:
I've gone through about 10 pages and can't find an answer to this. I understand the primordal rom is based off the leaked 3.1 update, but isn't there an official 3.1 update that is slightly better? What are my chances of updating to that while retaining the modded rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Mean Sixteen:
I believe the prevailing theory is the official was released days after the leak so there can be nothing different.

Should be identical.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seh6183:
I compared the changelogs and they were slightly different. Oh well I guess 3.1 is 3.1 :)

FFS. Someone must have noticed the diminished sound output. I used to be able to hear the tablet clearly from another room, not loudly but i could make out what song was playing. Now I can barely hear the tablet when it's in my hands. Is it 3.1 or did primordial do something. Is there a sound mod app? I have looked and my volume settings all APPEAR to be maxed out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
The leak did not have a change log... It was a leak and not an official release.

And the build numbers (actual compiled version and date) are exactly the same as far as I know.

This would indicate they are the same builds.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
I've downloaded the files now 3 times (ughh lol), and none of them are zipped .zip files. Actually they say ".zip.crdownload" at the end, but I can't get them to flash in CWM. Do I have to do something to the files after I download them?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] residentorca:
Sounds like an incomplete download from the file extension name.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] georgeli:
How long it will take for the first boot? I just need some kind of time frame. 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour or more.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seh6183:
The leak did have a change log, as well as the official. I compared them both and the official listed more changes. This does not mean that the change logs I viewed were not incomplete.

Myself and a few others have compared various components of the leaked and the official updates and verified that the leak was/is the official update.

I finally got this working. My touchscreen died on me. So by trying to fix that issue I decided to flash WW again and the market magically started working. Only thing it didn't fix my touchscreen problem :(. But I was able to fix that later by draining the battery. I tell you owning the dock is a good investment when the touchscreen stops responding. I just hope it was only a one time thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] richB7:
scratch that... network time does work, however the automated time zone feature does not. Turned it off and manually set timezone and network time is correct. I think the auto time zone did work on the stock version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] argie:
What kind of an answer is this...?? The questions was "This ROM presupposes one is already rooted....correct?". We have two options:

Yes, it presupposes that root is installed before this ROM... -OR-

No, this ROM does the rooting as well.

Which is it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] branshaw09:
Couple of questions about being rooted and running this ROM. Is apps to SD now an option and will running Ad Free app work on rooted Honeycomb? Thanks

I'm new to rooting on the Transformer, and these are a couple of things that make being rooted on my DX so valuable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Highland3r:
Can confirm add-free works on the transformer when rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dfin13:
I've got the same problem, and I've flashed the ROM several times and still get that Android password screen. Even did a couple of factory resets.

The only thing I can think that I may have done to screw it up is I didn't hit the Up button fast enough, and it went into some sort of Linux cold boot screen. I hit Up then, and then noticed that Up in that case caused a data wipe. I aborted it in a panic by shutting down. Maybe I need to do it again and let it complete the wipe?

Edit: Allow it to wipe before cold boot worked. Whew!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ozgreg:
You cannot flash this rom without root so the answer is kind of pointless but the answer is this rom supports Root (by adding busybox and SU Apps), the former is critical for things like backup the later for granting root for apps..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Aztriltus:
From my experience, you'll first need to root your stock rom which is what you are using now. Then get clockworkmod recovery into your transformer, followed by a backup before you flash this rom. And by flashing this rom, you'll get to keep your root since it already comes with Superuser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] venture51:
Please try to act a little more gracious when asking for clarification...not everyone here is from America...and not everyone speaks English as their first language.

To answer your question, yes you must be rooted first. There's a pretty good step by step newbie guide on the whole process -- it's one of the major threads. It will guide you from stock to downgrade to root to upgrade to Primordial:

First of all you're welcome.

As for PRIMORDIAL!, it only got that name since it was a leaked rom and was in existence before Asus released HC3.1. This was a one-off and won't be getting any updates.

PRIME! is based on stock updates and will be the main rom that I develop.
