R: Asus new Padfone

Yes, confirm, at the moment blank screen on my Cwm build from scratch... I didn't know about the test key thing... let me understand, with a rooted recovery you can install something not official but signed somehow... this is great. I've always something new to learn. Tks a lot.

R: Asus new Padfone

Talking about Cwm, at the moment I tried with a compiled kernel with rgb565 as default pixelmode and what I get is a rooted adb access, the phone is accessible via and as root. Recovery.log just report the framebuffer is correctly set and Cwm started, nothing more... I mean no errors logged and this is bad

I like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.batterybarpro&hl=en

It shows thin line on top of the screen, in my opinion its great to know how much battery left without checking little percentage numbers, it's just quicker :)

Of course its fully customizable.

There is a free version too. But it's one of my must-haves.
[Android General] paulobrien:
I posted a pre-rooted and deodexed version of the WWE ROM too. :)

Thanks for your sharing, i made some questions there. i hope see you there ;)
[Android General] paulobrien:
Currently deciding whether to do my own optimised ROM / kitchen for the PF2. :)

[Android General] [zozi]:
i hope some devs hog this device, because is a great device and the hardware is normal like other top device. so the custom rom's and recovery i wope some experts devs give us a little help, here in XDA (and i love XDA) dosent have a very good support for padfone and what i can see the other asus devices dosent have a great support too! i wish the new devs becames a great devs in padfone, where or in other place i will folow ;)
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
it depends what kind of asus devices you're talking about. Asus Tablets has good devs, subforums, lot of stuff made, the same does not occurs to Asus phones (like Padfone 1 & 2).
[Android General] Zardox:
is it possble to unlock the bootloader if you got android version 4.1.1 ?
[Android General] Scarletdeath:
Yes.
[Android General] [zozi]:
but for exemple the padfone2 for me its better then samsung s3 and have a great SoC, i think Snapdragon is the best to develop or i'm worng?
[Android General] Zardox:
So if i install the bootloader from asus website, then after put in the superboot. " http://www.modaco.com/topic/360416-superboot-padfone-2-root-solution/ "

After that, how do install the ClockworkMod That got " http://www.modaco.com/topic/360432-r1-customised-recovery-image-for-the-asus-padfone-2/ "

; sorry for all the noob questions. :/
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
It's because ASUS never bloody sold them!

Still no Jelly Bean for the original PadFone, presumably because of lack of sales, but then, they never made it available internationally. A couple of countries picked it up, but it never reached the US or UK without having to get it off the grey market. I love the thing, but I'd rather have the features of 4.2. And without developers able to get their hands on the kit, we'll never get ports either.

Done with ASUS-branded devices after this. Going Nexus for my next phone and tablet. Punctual updates and supported hardware are better than the cool-but-ultimately-ignored gadgets.
[Android General] paulobrien:
The biggest problem with custom ROMs is the support of the dual display stuff which is all closed source and it's a fair bit of work to develop it from scratch!

P
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Makes sense, although I thought you had to open-source everything Android related as part of the license.

If they'd open-sourced Padfone 1, would that have made it easier for competitors to develop their own hardware, or is it a software-only thing that would benefit the developers with few downsides to ASUS?
[Android General] paulobrien:
You only have to open source the kernel.

P
[Android General] [zozi]:
and in the kernel dosent have the dual screen information?
[Android General] paulobrien:
Not what you need to support in the OS.

[Android General] SparkyRih:
I don't really care about chinese symbols on the dock...

I could use my current dock, but according to Nicole Scott from Netbooknews it tips over... So I'm probably better off getting the dock to...

But I really have an issue trusting thes ebay sellters :S It's a lot of money... I hope some-one I know in Taiwan can send me one, but than I probalby have to pay alot for the shipping....
[Android General] Marlinn:
Yeah, it is alot of money. I'm waiting until mid-june, Scandinavia will get the padfone then (According to their facebook page & google translate) and I'll try to get 1 from there.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
Maybe if some webstore sells it there... let's see....

I want one sooo bad :S :P
[Android General] phemark:
My Vodafone contract finishes on the 2nd of July and I already canceled it after that date, so I can freely choose the carrier once (if) Padfone arrives

What chance do you think of it appearing in UK monthly contracts?

Every shop I go or call to doesnt know anything about it (and almost all of them have never heard anything about Asus Padfone, which makes me worry...)

Have you heard any information from anyone which would suggest that Padfone would be available as a 2 year contract in the UK?

Of course there is an option of buying phone on its own, and then cheap monthly plan, but I cant/dont have money up front to do it now...
[Android General] olly230:
you'll want to keep an eye on Australia and Denmark.

They have announced padfones arrival but I don't know if its carrier linked or not.

If they are doing carrier linked deals then it 'could' be the carrier negotiation that is delaying its release in the rest of europe. (as well as the chip shortage)
[Android General] libehv:
we have it on sale for 599€ padfone with the tablet and without contract :p

it's quite tempting :D
[Android General] SparkyRih:
Could you give us some more info please? where, and is there a webshop that eventually sells it?
[Android General] 3mL:
It's up for pre-order on some Swedish sites.

http://www.komplett.se/k/search.aspx?q=padfone&bn=&mfr=ASUS

About 695€ for the tablet and phone with a sleeve but, without a stylus.

edit: Unlocked of course.
[Android General] Marlinn:
Same here, I'd love to buy it from Estonia for that price..
[Android General] SparkyRih:
Yeah... I was already corresponding with a seller in Taiwan (879 for the full package) but if I can buy it from Estonia I would save over a 100 euros...
[Android General] Kolton545:
The only problem I can see with having the Padphone is going from a mobile phone version of an app to a tablet version of the app. the problem is prevalent with apps that have an HD version for tablets and another normal version for phones.
[Android General] blackhand1001:
Google is encouraging developers to make one app with two layouts in this case.
[Android General] timboyce94:
This is something I thought of as well, it's unfortunate, but there are lots of great apps that do it the way it should be done (a single app for both phones and tablets).
[Android General] olly230:
So, Padfone owners.

Have you tried titanium backup?

Looking to go from my leeroid gingerbread rom on desire to the padfone.

trasfering app date and wifi passwords is my main convern.
[Android General] SparkyRih:
Is it already possible to root it than?

And one important thing for me, does it use micro-sim or is it still ust the regular sim?
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Aren't wifi details backed up to your Google account now? I realise that won't answer your backups question, but it's one less thing to have to worry about...
[Android General] Someone09:
You know, it´s funny. In the 13 months or somehting like that, that I´ve been waiting on the Padfone now, there have been so many "I hope Asus doesn´t screw this up" thoughts on my mind about so many things.

E.g. the switching between phone and tablet mode. Or the whole mechanical docking stuff.

But one after another of these doubts vanished the more infos were released and the more previews appeared.

As for the app data: This is just my very own opinion but I don´t think it would be a good idea to restore apps from a GB (Sense!) ROM to a (almost stock) ICS ROM.
[Android General] PlanetJumble:
Standard SIM.

The apps databases are not affected by the specifics of the system. It surely wouldn't be advisable to restore any system data, but apps should be save. That is, when root access is available, of course. :)
[Android General] ctraywick1:
I've given up hopes of this coming to the us. Anyone know where I can get the whole package unlocked to work on att here in the states? When I say whole package I mean phone, tablet, sock, stylus and bag. Hopefully for a reasonable price? And I know it wont work with lte here but looking at the bands it uses it seems I should stll be able to use hspa+ or is that an incorrect assumption?
[Android General] NineT9:
From my research, the international version (tawain) won't work for ATT 4g or 3G here in America... (there will be a redesigned American version with lte coming in septemberish), not a appearance redesign but hardware (just for lte)

And as far as price I've been seeing about 1100-1200 for everything, phone, tab, keyboard and stylus

I did a try with Paul modded recovery by typing 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.modaco.r1.img'

does the modded recovery persist after a reboot? should I flash original recovery back through fastboot mode?

No, all batteries have it. Padfone 2 stops charging when battery too hot and displays relevant message.

Jelly Bean for the first generation Padfone gets a release date!
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
4.1? You'll excuse me for not throwing a MASSIVE party, given how long 4.2 has been out there.

Of course, I'd be slightly more excited if I hadn't ordered a Nexus 4 on Wednesday. My Padfone will be relegated to "tablet and holiday handset", rather than primary gadget.

If Google ever release an 8" Nexus tablet, I'll probably be selling the Padfone. Until then, it's a TF101 replacement with a gimmick.

EDIT: Just did a check for an update and downloaded one. Like a tit, I forgot to back it up first. Just a warning for anyone else who's got an OTA - copy the files somewhere safe before you pull the big Upgrade lever!

EDIT EDIT: Ran the update, seemed to work, still on 4.0.4 (IMM76I.CHT_PadFone-9.20.4.40_CHT_9.4.9-0). Have re-run and it's downloading ANOTHER OTA. Interesting. And I'll bag this one!

EDIT 3: LBE Privacy Guard appears to be hosed. It crashes EVERYTHING (including cellular and wifi radios) on startup. Good thing I disabled it from auto-start before I ran the update. A clean install may fix this, but that would kill my SWTOR Security Key, and that's a real ball-ache to get working again (phone call to Bioware CS), so I won't try that until I have the Nexus 4 in my hands and can move everything over to that.

EDIT 4: Other than that, all looking good. Now on JRO03L.CHT_PadFone-10.2.0.110-0. Found an alternative to LBE PrivacyGuard Here as the original isn't yet supporting 4.1. For shame.

Hey

I saw that some of you are using tasker with PadFone2.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get tasker to recognize the event when the phone is in tablet mode or not.

How do you handle the event with tasker?

To change launcher, PadFone launcher switcher is perfekt. But there are so many useful things possible, eg. to start GMD gestures when phone is docked.
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Has anyone that updated Padfone 1 to 4.1 had issues with Bluetooth? Audio is fine from the handset speaker and while docked, but if I try and run it through bluetooth, as soon as the first track finishes, it starts juddering and pausing every few seconds. It's beyond frustrating!

SMS Backup issues on stock JB

Does anyone have problems with backing up or restoring their SMS?

I had to factory reset my phone, which wiped my SMSes. Luckily, most of my messages were still on my old phone.

I tried to transfer my SMSes from my old phone (HTC Desire Z) to my Padfone 2 using a few apps, but none of them work properly. They either restore only some messages, or just crash. Restoring on my old phone works 100%, so I don't think it's a corrupted file problem.

Funny thing is, the app I was using worked perfectly when my Padfone 2 was running ICS, before I upgraded to JB.

Quite irritating.

Tried:

SMS Backup and Restore

SMS Backup+

GO SMS Pro

Titanium Backup (using their XML backup method)

Unbrick Padfone2

Hi guys

I would like to ask you a question on my Padfone 2.

The terminal was mistakenly brick while I introduced changes to the file build.prop. Now the only way to turn on, is flashing the firmware again (putting the original file from fastboot does't work). I wanted to know how to transfer the firmware zip file to internal memory because the device is not recognized as FTP.

I trust in your competent reply and I ask you kindly to avoid answers like "take to the assistance" because I want to use this option just in extremis.

I'm sorry for my English but I am Italian
[Android General] [zozi]:
but can you get intro original recovery? if yes, you can transfere the original rom over adb
[Android General] Corey911:
The ADB mode does't work. If I put the command "ADB", can't find the device, the only command works is "fastboot"
[Android General] Mr.Clark:
Brilliant. If you can fastboot, you can fastboot boot image.img to make sure the device works, then fastboot flash image.img after you know it works.

It's actually really hard to permanently brick an Android by accident AFAIK.
[Android General] Corey911:
Thank you very much, where I can find the files?
