[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
1. Is the TF Prime going to become the new flagship powerhouse Android® tablet?

it is the current flagship for what's the latest and greatest regarding android tablets as it's the first one running tegra3. it's not like the xoom or the galaxy tab I/O edition in the sense that updates don't come directly from google, rather they come from asus, but so far asus has a good track record in updating the tf101 very quickly and i personally like the small touches they add to the device. if i had to bet, they will be the first mainstream tablet with ICS running on it officially.

also, the xoom was and will always be a piece of crap device that should have never been released. the tf101 and galaxy tab series were the old flagships imo. :)

2. Will we soon see a ICS aka Android 4.0 port any time soon?

asus has stated end of the year or early next year, they've stated that the primes that will come out in singapore around mid jan will be sold with ICS preloaded on them, so that bodes will for us getting it in the next few weeks or so.

3. How good does the screen look with the Super IPS+, I believe that's what it is called.

the screen is great. superIPS+ is mainly for outdoor use as it bumps the brightness beyond any other tablet in the market, which makes it actually readable in sunlight, but it will murder your battery and shouldn't be on all the time.

personally, i find it to be better than any other tablet screen i've used (xoom, tf101, gtab 10.1, viewsonic gtab, ipad1, gtab 7" (1st gen)) the colors are vibrant, it has great viewing angles, and text is very clear.

4. Also had the tablet received root yet? And any custom roms created yet?

people were able to root some of the primes, but the latest OTA seems to break root if you don't have it already before, some people have said they couldn't root the gamestop tablets even before the OTA, so reports vary. i don't think we'll see any custom roms before ICS drops, with a lot of slower developement being due to less people being able to get it in their hands right now.

5. Lastly should I still get this tablet even if its not available completely till mid January ish? With CES In Vegas early January maybe something better will be announced? For mid spring?

something better will always be around the corner, but i can say with 99% certainty that anything announced at CES won't be on the market until summer (Q2/Q3) at the earliest. and personally, i don't see the point of the insane resolution panels that everyone is trying to make right now. ~720p on a 10" screen is plenty of pixel density for me.

but, if you can't get your hands on one before CES, you might as well see what they announce. personally, i'm happy i got this, and when those tablets finally hit the stores, if i like them, i'll sell this and get one of those, the kicker with the prime though, is the dock, no one else makes something like the dock that works as well as it does. so for me, i'll probably wait until asus makes a tf301 or something like that which runs win8

hope that helped :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Ok this something I just noticed tonight When I was downloading pics from Goolge images. When it downloads the pictures and you open the gallery its doesnt order them in the downloaded order which is very strange because the original Gallery I have always had on my Evo never had this problem. I actually noticed this when I copied over my Downloaded pics from My Evo but I thought it was something that had to do with the fact the pictures were originally downloaded from the Evo.

But its the same when it puts the pictures downloaded from the Prime. Wanted to know if there is a way to correct this because its very annoyng. The downloaded pictures should be numbered in the order they were downloaded not randomly like its doing.

For example This my dowloaded pics from left to right beggining to end.

As you Can See the KTM Motorcycle pics were the first but for some reason it split up the first picture of the motorcycleb and put it in the front of the Gallery. The Second group of pics I downloaded was the Shelby Cobra pianted Mystic And the third group of pics were E36 BMW M3s

Here is the middle moving right

And the End

Let me Know what you guys think.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
Okay these are the steps I took and put as simple as possible.Some steps may be skipped depending on if you have done them or not.These are written based off my setup and what i did.

Disclaimer:Me nor Tassadar or bigsupersquid are responsible for any damage done to your phone so use at your own risk.

Multirom Install:

1.Format through cwm your sd card to have an ext(Recommended 512 mb)

2.Download the two zips from bigsupersquid posted here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20626123#post20626123

3.Place them both onto your sd card.

4.Boot into cwm and flash the cwm zip you downloaded from squid's thread.

5.Now reboot your phone and then boot again into cwm(It should have blue text if it flashed correctly and the multirom option)

6.Now I highly recommend you make a backup of your current rom just in case anything goes wrong.(I made a copy of it onto my pc as well.)

7.Now flash the other zip titled "Multirom..." and wait for it to install.Now reboot to see if it boots.If boots then everything has been done correctly.

Rom on SD Card setup/install:

For this I have install on phone the latest build of cm for oV and will be using the same rom to setup on sd card just for test.

1.Now here Make another backup of your current rom through recovery(Will be used trust me)

2.Now flash the rom you want to use on sd card.(If using a 2.3 rom then the sd card crom msu also be 2.3 and vice versa for 2.2 roms).Reboot phone(a must so dalvik is created correctly).(Make sure to do the appropriate steps fro flash rom like wiping etc.)

3.Reboot back into recovery.Go to multirom and select "Create from current rom". (flash the multirom zip again if it says folder not found)(ROM on the sdcard is placed in /sd-ext/multirom/rom/).

4.After it finished you can go ahead and restore the backup you made in step 1. and the reboot after finished and wait until boot manager shows up.

5.Select boot from sd card and it should boot into the rom you chose to install to sd.(If it doesn't then you did one of the steps wrong).

6.That's it you now have multirom booting enjoy it !

MultiROM recovery menu description:

Active/deactive state is for recovery only, you can boot ROMs from backup in boot manager - that means its N-times boot rather than dual-boot.

When not active(boot from internal memory):

Activate (move from backup) - when you already have backup, this will move it to active folder (fast).

Activate (copy from backup) - same as above, but it copies it instead of moving

Create from current ROM - pretty self-explanatory

When active(boot from sdcard):

Deactivate (move to backup) - Moves current ROM to backup folder, so next boot will be from internal memory

Backup - Creates backup of current ROM

Erase current ROM - Deletes current rom, next boot will be from internal memory

Copy modules from int mem - Copies modules from ROM in internal memory to SDcard. Try this if WiFi does not work in SDcard ROM.

Thanks to Tassadar,bigsupersquid,everyone behind cm7 for optimus v and anyone else that contributed to this:)

[Optimus V Android Development] norwoodesteel:
any way to get link2sd to work with this. sdext doesn't appear to handle both multirom and link
[Optimus V Android Development] Ventrue05:
what are the pro's n cons of this? someone please explain this to me b4 i attempt this. thanks.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
Well pros would be you can dual boot between roms.Cons would be not many different roms since most are based off cm7 lol
[Optimus V Android Development] Ventrue05:
why would i want to switch on the go from roms? im not being a **** or anything just wondering why someone would want to do that.
[Optimus V Android Development] DarkLG:
Some just like the choice of having two different roms customized differently with different apps and such.
[Optimus V Android Development] one80oneday:
Plus you can partition a bigger space on your SD card giving you more room for apps
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
What is the likeliness this recovery will prevent you from flashing a different recovery.

There are a couple people trying to flash the rzrecovery and getting failed attempts.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Hmm guess nobody has a answer to this...
[Optimus V Android Development] tdm:
If you flash the recovery image using flash_image while booted into android, I think it's safe to say just about zero.
[Optimus V Android Development] eollie:
Something was not working right because a couple people using the multi recovery couldnt get rzrecovery to install. Not sure if they got IHO installed or not. I have a feeling something is not allowing flash_image to work properly with that recovery.

I just wanted to see what the devs of this recovery thought.
[Optimus V Android Development] Grosskum:
Tetris from recovery is worth it by itself! havn't installed a second rom yet but this is cool anyways
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleater11:
I observe that miui 1.12.23 build is combination of both Gingerbread and ICS build.

does that mean that the miui 1.12.16 build, is the last exclusive Gingerbread update build for Vibrant?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
I like to extract the package, see what's in /system/app and get rid of stuff I don't need before installing a ROM. Does doing so affect the integrity of the package, say with update-binary?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
I'm pretty sure... I've never made an updater-script for flashing but I'm almost positive it writes every app manually to its location.......

*update

what apps where you trying to remove anyway...Bloatware?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
Mostly Bloatware and sometimes custom stuff cooks put in that I have no interest. (i hope it doesn't violate the community code as long as i don't re-distribute it as my own;)). My question was mostly regarding update-binary as update-script is usually pretty easy to understand but i can't see what's in update-binary and it's usually quite big. Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
Well you can wait for tomorrow when I release my update of my MR Root script on the dev page ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1374297 ) or you can install the ROM, get Root explorer or file expert (I use file expert), goto system/app, then delete to your liking. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] psychedel!k:
Yeah...i used to do that but nowadays i like to rid them before they spawn in my device. Kind of just my own thing anyway. The MR Root script seems like a powerful tool, I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow and see what I can get out of.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
You can just remove bloatware through either Titanium or Absolute System. First thing I always get rid of is Wifi Calling.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
Here is a SystemUI that I built that has a translucent statusbar. It also has a circle battery mod I recently made in ics blue. This was built on 4.0.3 sources.

Here's a flashable zip:

TransStatusbar-SmoothCircleMod_4.0.3.maguro-signed.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
Smali edits

OK...here's some instructions as a smali edit. Things to keep in mind here....smali is, for me at least, challenging to follow and fully comprehend what you are looking at. Also, this set of instructions is based off of working on a SystemUI for 4.0.3. My goal here is to give precise enough steps so that the right edits are made, while also trying to be "universal" in that this will hopefully work on other SystemUI's going forward. If we discover that tweaks need to be made, I'll edit this list.

Pixel format is stored as a integer constant. To review, here are some values of interest for this thread. (blue text is value)

OPAQUE(no alpha bit): -0x1

RGB_565(also no alpha): 0x4

TRANSLUCENT(many alpha bits) -0x3

First file to edit is StatusBar.smali. Open in your preferred text editor and search for this text:

Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V

Go to the line above it and change the last value from -0x1 to -0x3.

Next open PhoneStatusBar.smali. Search for this text:

const v4, 0x4800068

replace the 2 lines underneath with this:

const/4 v5, -0x3

move v2, v1

Next search for this text:

Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mPixelFormat:I

Once again we're going to edit the line above and change the last value to -0x3.

You can see the pattern of changing -0x1 to -0x3. However, you may notice that it's a 0x4 that your're replacing. You won't ever be replacing anything vastly different. So when following these instructions if you find that you're replacing something other than -0x1 or a 0x4, that should raise a red flag that it might not be the right thing to edit. *The first edit in PhoneStatusBar is a little different than the others and I think there is more than one way to do that, but this is how I did.

You may notice that I haven't listed the entire line for the search criteria ....this is because there may be differences with the local variables associated. Your file may be assigning the pixel format to local variable v8 and the next guys v9. *The first search in PhoneStatusBar I did give the whole line.

That's it for smali edits. Now you still have the res directory edits. With an aosp based rom, you need to change the hex value for status_bar_background in drawables.xml. Also, you now have translucency available for the softkey area.....it's background is set via hex color in res/layout/navigation_bar.xml.

I've been wanting a smooth circle battery mod! Only problem is, on Roman's AOKP rom flashing it makes the statusbar and virtual buttons disappear :( Happens with the other circle battery mod as well :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gn00my:
Same here, soft buttons and status bar dissapear
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P-bot:
This may just be me, but I got the battery only circle mod going on Romano's rom with the apex 4 kernel. Didn't work with the other kernel I was on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
awesome instructions im going to download asop on my linux pc tonight and have at the systemui on boxing day or something. ive got the softkeys themed but thats as far as i can get without a ton of fc's when decompiling and editing xml's and some pngs, so hopefully this will help me learn a bit more.

thanks for the awesome write up!

edit: i get the same problem as the above people when flashing this on the rom in my sig
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allofusjw:
pendo, thanks so much for this. its very educational and I appreciate the time you took to help all of us.

my question is...

in the cyanogenmod source instead of stating "opaque" or "translucent" it shows PixelFormat.RGB_565 which (I think) means it's 16bit and opaque. do you think it would have to then be changed to ARGB_8888, or something different? here's the link to the info I found: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Bitmap.Config.html

I'm just unsure how to apply this info.

thanks man, love your work, glad to see you here!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatsix:
I used apktool to decompile the systemui.apk. I found the status bar files. But they are smali. When I edit them with notepad+ I cannot find the PixelFormat line. Sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
My bad, I left out one VERY IMPORTANT detail. Whether or not you build your own or use the one I compiled it is a deodexed SystemUI.apk. If you previously had an odexed SystemUI then you MUST delete SystemUI.odex

I have been told that my apk works with this 4.0.3 IML74K rom.

Please see above note.

Also, these instructions as well as the provided apk DO NOT have Paul's softkey mod. I'm hesitant to say this, but I am tinkering a bit trying to replicate the edits in source form. I know I posted a SystemUI that had those edits for 4.0.2 but I did them as smali edits. I wish to add them to the source code which would make it much easier for updates. But I have no progress report on that. The *main* purpose of this thread was informational. I wanted to offer some help for someone to either do it themselves, or help someone who has the capacity/desire to update the apk as needed.

This is built purely from aosp sources, not CM. I would not expect what I compiled to work on anything other than aosp 4.0.3. However, the information in the first post should help you make a translucent statusbar if the CM9 source code is available somewhere.

Yes, I actually had some information regarding that in the first draft I had made, however I was getting concerned with the length as it was so I trimmed it down a bit.

Yes, RGB_565 is 16bit opaque. You should just change it to TRANSLUCENT. I've done this before, but in smali. One thing that I haven't figured out is why it's called RGBA vs ARGB. The hex values are done in ARGB. Go figure.:confused:

Also, here's some info that will help when trying to do this edit backwards, aka decompiling with apktool ;) Obviously when aapt compiles it doesn't store the code as TRANSLUCENT....but here's some of the values that it does store of what you'll most commonly see:

TRANSLUCENT = -0x3

OPAQUE = 0x1

RGBA_8888 = 0x1

RGBX_8888 = 0x2

RGB_565 = 0x4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
No....you cannot edit with Notepad.

my bad, I missed the "+" :p

Make your search for "mPixelFormat" and you should get better results. But it isn't as straight forward in smali. I'm still getting better at, but it is definitely more difficult to decipher what's happening in smali. Something that I've done to help is to compare source code with decompiled smali (making sure it's the same file).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatsix:
I decompiled the classes.dex before with something else. Was easier to edit. Can't remember which or find the directions. Java - jar I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allofusjw:
-mission accomplished!

-isn't that how things always work out?

great, thank you very much! i hate having to reapply my theme edits with every rom flash. this is very helpful.

one more question...

will this edit "stick" in my local cyanogenmod workspace after a repo sync, or, would that require setting up my own github repo to view changes to cm framework vs my edited framework? please don't feel obligated to give an in depth explanation if that's what this question requires. I'd just like to know if my thinking is on the right path. thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
ahh that would make sense, but cm is built off asop and your last transparancy mod worked on cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reppu:
Would anyone please show a pic with the final result? I am most interested in this mod once i get my GNex by new year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Here you go ;) mind of small but not a problem at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reppu:
Neat trick. Many thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manager77:
did you noticed dialer status bar isn't black?..How can l fix taht?Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pendo:
If you're including the need to download aosp source, you would be correct. But the mod itself I feel is easier in source, solely based on the fact that it's easier to read. Sure, if you're familiar with the edit and have done it before you can decompile and search for whatever key terms you wish and then make the "-0x3" edits. But by viewing the source, it's pretty obvious on where/how to make the edits.

It should, or at least it does with aosp and repo. Unless the package is updated.....(I think...:o)

Yes, CM is based off aosp but I can assure you there are some significant differences...at least for gingerbread. I would anticipate there are less differences between CM9 and ics at this stage of the game. I didn't know that my last one worked on CM9.....my guess is that whatever changed in 4.0.3 hasn't made it's way into CM9's source.

No, I didn't notice anything....I have no way to view what I built! Lol...

Well, I'm not exactly sure off the top of my head. Does anyone know if my previous SystemUI had a translucent statusbar? I should be able to figure it out pretty easily if it was...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bluediss:
Thanks for the info. You really got me interested in this stuff!

For Windows users (like me), I believe somebody posted a VMWare images ready to do these kind of things.

Might give it a try when I'm back from holiday.
