[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
they didn't wait because they more than likely assumed everything would be OK or acceptable long enough till ICS was released. which as we've seen throughout the threads, assumptions can be a bad thing. your reasons are plausible also. A new reasoning that just dawned upon me from another poster is that it could be Google actually holding the ICS release back from Asus. Don't forget their so called honeycomb tablet flagship device Zoom has just released their new version of Zoom, the XYboard or something. Google owns Motorola now. maybe they stalled Asus long enough to where the window that Prime receives ICS first is even shortened to when their new XY tablet receives it. think about it. how does it look that an outside tablet maker will receive the latest and Android update and overhaul before your own flagship device does.

we do know Prime was supposed to ship with ICS and more than likely most time was spent optimizing it for that. once they saw time being cut short, they still wanted to make holiday release so slapped HC up there. very little testing was probably done for this. they might have figured they could do damage control while waiting for the ICS rollout. either way, ICS is known to have newer and updated drivers for these exact sane issues people are expeincing. Asus optimized Tegra3 around ICS. when they had to go with HC for the meantime, Tegra3 was forced to use old drivers and programing. the code probably is sloppy and therefore causing these intial growing pains with the Prime. I think prime already has the necessary things/system processes to rub correctly but can't be initatiated until it receives ICS. some people were like this or that device did well on HC. well its not that simple to slap a completely new technology in a tablet, being quad core/5 core, and assume everything will work correctly as it did with the single and dual core devices.

I'm staying optimistic and the evidence in new GPS test thread is leaning more towards a software issue or a combo of software and hardware, the metal backplate. if its a combo, then there's nothing we can do as far as the backplate goes. but we could optimize the software part to the utmost extreme to get the best possible results with the combo. if just a software issue, then Asus needs to hurry up and just push out ICS. that was Prime was built for anyways. I for one don't want a bunch of HC updates. just get over the hump and release ICS with the updated drivers, new instruction sets, etc...and work from there. The longer we have to wait for ICS, the worse the situation will get. because its obvious Prime wasn't meant for it. so Asus needs to stop beating a dead horse and get this device up to speed. then any future fixes or whatever will come alot faster.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
First, they haven't even closed the deal on Motorola Mobility and until that happens Motorola's just another partner. Both Motorola and Google stockholders would go nuts if confidential information was shared and the deal fell apart at the last minute. If the Zoom gets ICS first it'll be because it's AOSP, not because of some conspiracy against Asus. Other than Samsung as the ICS launch partner, every other company wanting to use ICS is on equal footing. The Toshiba Excite's going on sale next month with ICS and most likely the two other Teg3's going in to production this month will also. Asus faced the same choices as anyone else wanting to build tablets, they just appear to have made different ones (timing, RAM, screen res, ICS vs. HC, plastic vs. metal). How those choices work out for them will be better measured toward the latter half of the year. As they say, you only have a single chance to make a good first impression.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fatso485:
so to solve the gps issues they are removing it from the spec sheet. from their statement :

"The ASUS Transformer Prime is made from a metallic unibody design, so the material may affect the performance of the GPS when receiving signals from satellites. Please note that this product is not a professional GPS device, and signal performance can be easily influenced by factors including, but not limited to: weather, buildings, and surrounding environments. Please understand there are limitations when using the GPS function. To avoid inconveniencing users who demand a powerful GPS device, we made the decision to remove it from our specification sheet and marketing communications. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused."

on the + side, they are providing ICS after 10 days only
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] novaIS350:
Everything is working great, no issues thus far. I didn't buy this tablet to use a GPS device, so I'm not concerned about it. I feel bad for others who did.

Update

Thanks to both CVPCS and Dragonzkiller and the DX2-Dev-Team. And of course thanks to koush. And Tenfar too did he did find the /preinstall hack? Did Dragonzkiller fixed the graphics or what? IDNK, it is fixed(/sbin/recovery in DK, cvpcs is broken). Hence the hybrid zip.

The UL zip works some what from /preinstall see my thread. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20634404&postcount=1 It may do the same if flashed via Tenfars,our bootstrap, just flash it as you would any zip and it will take over.

It backs up and will restore, from adv restore, /cache and(if set in recovery.fstab) sd-ext. A full restore bombs:

Checking MD5 sums...

cache.ext3.tar: OK

data.ext3.tar: OK

system.ext3.tar: OK

couldn't find default

Found new backup image: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-02.05.08.01//system.ext3.tar

Restoring system...

E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"

Error while formatting /system!

Other features may work. I find that zipping from win7 winrar fails but Root Explorer zipping results work.

/sbin/recovery is distorted (main screen):

https://github.com/cvpcs/DroidX2Bootstrap/tree/master/assets

Distortion fixed;

https://github.com/DX2-Dev-Team/DX2-CWMR/tree/master/assets

Edit What is the "/preinstall cwr hack"?

TO PUT IN PLAIN TERMS : ALL YOU NEED FOR ANY CHARGE ENABLED RECOVERY:

THE FILES: "hijack" AND (THE HACKED) "charge_only_mode" IN /system/bin

AND ".revovery_mode" IS IN /data

YOU DO NOT NEED ANYTHING ELSE BUT TO LOAD /preinstall

WITH YOUR FAV RECOVERY NAMED: "update-recovery.zip", ALONG WITH IT'S BINARY (SAME AS INSIDE THE ZIP/meta-inf....) CALLED: "update-binary" AND "hijack" (SAME AS ABOVE). Thats it! 6 files. With permissions- See above link.

Older post

5.0.2.0 http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-olympus.zip

Not everything works: when flashing between recoveries they need to be on internal sd, and, of course, backup and restore may work but its for ul bootloaders only.

DO NOT FLASH FROM ROM MANAGER. IT WILL BE SBF time.

Flash from tenfars and keep a copy of both on int sd (tenfars update-recovery.zip and the DL) to go back and forth. Do not backup and restore with this.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Just checked out the updater script and it looks like it should work, barring no needed changes on the scripts in sbin that it copies. I wonder if ADB works in it on this one. This could be a huge bonus for what were trying to do since BSR is kinda old and crappy
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
No adb in adv menu.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
ADB shouldnt be in a menu. Should just be enabled by default. Course it only would work if it was plugged into a computer at the time you dropped into CWR. It doesnt support USB state changing.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
So if the cwr in charge mode triggered, as is the preinstall hack, then no adb?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Log from cwr

init.svc.battd running

.usbd running

.touch stopped

.atvc stopped

.adb running

Extended commands not found.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
See if you can run any adb commands like:

adb devices

adb pull /system/build.prop

etc...
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
It fails to mount sdcard. When recovering or manual mount.

I'm done messing this one.
[Motorola Droid X2] Malvoiy:
I was able to overwrite the one in /data/data/tenfar folder but not in /preinstall folder anything special I need to try? Still went into BSR when I rebooted to recovery.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I am learing as I go, but the point I realized is when you go to adv menu,in cwr,and reboot recov the current cwr gets loaded to /preinstall. So paste to data/data...files run sr then do reboot recov. Then paste to preinstall.
[Motorola Droid X2] Malvoiy:
Cool ill give that a shot thanks!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
If I had the knowhow I would hack the garphics from 5010atrix to 5025x2!! ;).

But why would the newest Dx2 be any good and NOT a failure and be so messed for all this time? Unless one failure hides the other.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
It probably can't mount SD due to a wrong mountpoint in one of the scripts. Should be easy to fix.

how hards that going to be to fix?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Ha ha ha ha!

You got me!

But it easy to flash between these cwrs even back to tenfars. Want to find a way to recwr after a wipe or flash.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
The skewed graphics problem is from within the recovery (binary) in /sbin of the

zip: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.5-daytona.zip .

I pasted the file from the above into this http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-olympus.zip and got same graphics skewing.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Is this from android/sdk in win7?

Can you give me a prep? I am just a NooB.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Within your sdk folder look for platform tools, adb is within this folder. Navigate to platform tools directory using cmd then enter the commands.

Open fastboot.exe from command prompt in windows

Sent via XDA Premium on Dell Streak
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
fastboot isn't a typical windows program. It's a command line tool. You would open a command prompt and type in the command as such:

fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

The above example is to flash a file named recovery.img to the recovery partition.

Be very careful with fastboot. It's about the only way to brick this phone.

Basically after some research and trial and error it seems that when the ASUS engineers were finalizing the HC build for our Primes they left some settings on which conflict with each other. I have discovered the proper settings needed to achive fluidity and speed in the stock browser which does not impact FLASH or youtube or any site that uses embedded content for that matter. Basically all you have to do is open the stock browser and in the address bar type about:debug and then tap go. Nothing will appear however click on menu then settings and you will see a debug section added to the list. Make sure that your settings mirror the image below. I have tested this with the correct settings on and off and there is a huge difference. Videos coming soon. Again if you encounter any issues let me know.

I've seen quite a bit of complaints about the stock browser. The ICS browser is greatly improved. I've used it on the Galaxy Nexus and it's much better than previous Android browsers. Let's just hope that Asus does actually get ICS out the door in January.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Seriously, folks, the one area where ICS will make marked and virtually guaranteed performance improvements is the stock browser. If the Galaxy Nexus browser performs decently with its meh processor and 1280X720 resolution, then we should see excellent performance on the Prime with Tegra 3.

I'm willing to be a little bit patient...

nice! worked for me. noticeable improvement
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Here is something that may help. When I had the OG Transformer someone proposed similar fixes for the browser that worked. But it only seem to take effect when you were able to see the debug settings. What I mean is that every time you completely close the stock browser, the debug settings go away. You had to do the about:debug when the browser started up (from being completely shutdown) to get the full effect of the debug settings. To make it easier for me, I set the homepage to about:debug. Try and see if the browser works after doing about:debug.
