[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
The Prime will be able to do function #1 easily enough, but functions 2-4 will not happen, IMO. You need a laptop/ultrabook for those. The Prime does not have enough processing power or memory ... besides, your C compiler and image editors will not be available for the Prime. I did see a demo of Ubuntu running on the original Transformer ... it was really, really slow. I do not expect the Prime to be that much faster.

Many folks who expected the original Transformer to be a laptop replacement were sorely disappointed -- the same will be true for the Prime. These are still consumption devices, for the most part. I do expect the Prime will replace my laptop for many of my tasks, but for development, I have my high-powered (dual boot: Win/Ubuntu) laptop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pzuraq:
Yeah, I'm not expecting it to do all the same things as a netbook/laptop. Obviously its less powerful and functional (at least for development purposes) but the thing is I never used my laptop for more than text-editting and the OCCASIONAL image processing job (very rare, I prefer working at home on my desktop for that.)

If I get a Prime and end up using it more than I used my laptop, then I'd consider it worth it. If I can code on it (especially with preview, very important feature) then the rest should be ok. And being able to read textbooks e-reader style would be very nice.

Its not easy to weigh the pros and cons, thats why I'm posting here, trying to get different perspectives.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
Some users have been able to make some serious adaptations and use the Transformer really well. It's just so limited, that I think you will be disappointed ... I think you are forgetting that you are a computer science major! :o Just teasing...

Besides all that ... this is NOT a cheap device by any means. For the money you would pay for the Prime you could get a pretty good laptop that will last you quite a few years. Then, you can buy a cheap consumption device that fulfills the needs of consumption rather well. Of course, I am one to talk ... I bought the Prime. I do, however, have a good laptop and desktop, so it is a little different.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pzuraq:
Very true, I think I'll definitely feel the squeeze of inferior hardware if I do get it which is unfortunate =/

As for getting a laptop, I really am done with them. Weighs too much, hurts my back while running around, generally bulky and again, I don't use them all that much. I think the Transformer style laptop/tablet combo is the way to go in the future, so much more functionality for the same amount of hardware (As opposed to having two devices). I think when similar devices have >2GB ram and can run a more powerful platform like Windows 8/Linux, they will definitely be full fledged enough to compete with laptops.

Still, right now is right now... I guess it really depends on what I'll be using it for more than anything else. If my primary use is taking notes and reading textbooks, and coding is more on the side, then the Prime is probably the better choice. So the question is, is using the Prime as an e-reader for textbooks that much better than opening them up in a pdf and reading them on a netbook/laptop?

hmm, need to think about that...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
if you have a desktop, you could jsut remote log-in to that via splashtop, teamviewer or logmein.

that's probably the best way to get access to the things you need for 2-4. Other things you could do well on your prime.

worst case, hold out for an ultrabook ie mac book air, or acer aspire s5?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pzuraq:
I'd actually never heard of splashtop before, thank you for that info! This definitely changes things, since I rarely use photoshop/other features that a laptop would be able to have. If that's the case, I can just remote login when I need those functions and go with a basic text editor for on the go coding!

I'm definitely leaning toward the Prime now, I think it'll support what I need without sacrificing too much functionality.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HiTech126:
Textbooks-As others have said, you can definitely use the prime for #1. If you would like to use it for the other tasks, here are a few helpful apps.

Web- Android web editor pro. What I use for web development, should do everything you are looking for.

C++- check out C4Droid. It is a C compiler for android, that supports C++ with root. Can't vouch for it though, I use mostly Java.

Image editing- adobe has launched a whole mobile design suite specifically for android tablets not to long ago, Photoshop touch being the main feature. I use it fairly often, it is quite good, not on par with regular Photoshop but a big step up from average image editors.

Hope you find something useful out of my ramblings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Splashtop HD is really good. Probably the best. Another great thing is that The Prime comes with this built on so no need to buy the app. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] webin:
If you have a desktop just sitting around while you are out, Splashtop is a great way to remote desktop in, particularly on wifi (as with the prime). Think of it almost like a thin client connecting to the mainframe servers... which is how I got my CompSci degree. You get all the power of your desktop with all the portability of your tablet.

Personally, I'm hoping to find a way to write android apps FROM an Android device... seems like a logical programming environment, considering all the libraries and such are already present. Who needs an emulator when you're holding the real thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kashban:
Best thing would be some remote desktop software indeed.

I run Teamviewer on all my PCs/Laptops and there is a client for Android too. Works like a charm, even through internet connections.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dpwhitty11:
I have C4Droid on my phone and ATP, and can say that it works wonderully. I'm a comp sci major too, just like OP. I code in c++, C4Droid is awesome. the only downside to it is the inability to do multi-file projects.

But, when installing clockworkmod.. it fails everytime to apply it..

it installs and all fine, but ..

Any1 having this issue?

thanks.

you have to have CWM installed to flash a ROM so i don't know what you are saying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Lol

Clockwork or the ROM?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] royredman:
Hey, I plan on getting the new transformer prime soon when I have the time to find it in stock. The question is, how am I going to protect this badboy? I dont care about the leather case that makes the tablet look elegant, I want a good case that stays on the tablet at all times while making it usable (sleeves don't make it into this category). I want it to be like this so there is no fear of dropping the tablet and watch this beauty be destroyed. Ideally, I want this case to be for the tablet, but if there's one that fits the keyboard too, that would be awesome!! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnycsx:
Nothing yet. Tab is still very new. Hoping for a gumdrop or otter box type case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] al mon:
Hoping for a Ballistic or Otterbox. Ballistic has been awesome for my HTC EVO and XOOMs.

Tough? Look at the Pelican tablet cases

http://www.pelicancases.com/laptop-cases-s/24.htm
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spartan301:
Just ordered the 1085 pelican with foam. Should be able to hold the dock, the tab, and my hard drive. Along with some cables and memory cards.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Good choice... in the weapons world Pelican makes ballistic quality cases you can trust to protect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ermacwins:
I takeit this is the offical case?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPOJ4cL9bfw

Looks flimsy?

youtube embed fail :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I have it, and I like it. It's not flimsy at all, but it also doesn't secure to the top of the Prime and does nothing to protect the back. I like it because it's nice and thin and does a nice job of propping up the tablet.

A bit overpriced at $40; would be a lot more comfortable at $20. But, I don't regret the purchase.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
^^^ Is he serious??? ^^^

I'm sorry, but have you just learned to use the internet machine :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rsarno:
I bought this case

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006LSCCPG/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details

i wanted a folio type case for my TF201. Cant say there is anything wrong, or bad with this case ... it protects it well, works as it should, and feels like good quality.

However it does add some bulk! I dont mind it so much, but its noticeable.

Overall i am satisfied and would recommend this to anyone else looking for this style of case.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I was remiss in failing to point out that there's an accessories forum...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
If you are considering purchasing this. I suggest you buy a full body screen protector. I have this case and it scratched up the aluminum on my first Prime. This is what I've been using currently from Case Logic. (see pics)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikepfly2:
Sorry, does the case logic case you show the one that scratched your first TF? :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I had that case, but it held down the volume up and power button down which caused a lot of problems so I took it back. Do you not find this holds down or covers your buttons?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandonPrice31:
Is it just me or are the three bottom touch screen buttons finnicky not always responsive on the first click? Like when you're clicking it one of the touch buttons quickly, you have to wait a second then touch the button again for a response. Also your thumb has to be right on the button, can't touch corners etc.

Do you guys find you often have to repress one of the touch buttons on the bottom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WalkingTaco:
Nope. Maybe you're missing the button.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
Yes - especially when it is in my car dock.

My HTC Evo 4G has some kind of issue where the screen would not register touch if you laid it on a table or something but it worked fine if you held it in your hand. They were able to fix this with a software update (I have no idea how).

The Nexus feels like the same kind of issue - the soft buttons work ok if I'm holding it but on the table they don't seem to register a push well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
i noticed this too,

BUT, i also noticed that you have to pretty much touch the actual icon itself.

i tried tapping in-between the keys and noticed that it didn't do anything.

so no worries man, noting is wrong with your phone.

fwiw i have a wet screen protector on, so that might attribute to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandonPrice31:
As do I.

Anyone else noticing this 'issue'?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ccjjr59:
Same issue here, I'm wondering if they dialed down sensitivity too much to avoid accidental presses while typing? I think it should only reduce sensitivity while the keyboard is up, not always.

Hope they increase the sensitivity a bit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbates66:
i've seen stuff like this on other phones like my Samsung Wave S8500, some areas of the touchscreen don't respond properly unless part of you is touching the phone case, probably caused by the way capacitive touchscreens work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bimmerboii:
agreed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
I just find the multi task button is a bit laggy, but this could be to do with redrawing the app images that's about it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
Hello:

I am looking to build the official Atrix-dev CM7 weekly/nightly, however, cannot find any instructions/guide to do so. Of course, I could simply pull everything from the Atrix-dev CM7 github and overlay on base CM7 source, but thought I'd ask before I do that.

Why build from source? I am not looking to build a CM7 based ROM or release anything, just change some minor things for my own consumption:

- Not have mmcblk1p2 mount as /sd-ext [currently set in a .mk file according to vanilla CM7 source for olympus]

- Since webtop doesnt work in CM7 (and I dont need it) expand /data(p16) to include the partition space of /osh(p13) [means mucking around with the partition table, and the init scripts to change mounts]

- have emmc mount on /sdcard and external sdcard mount on /sd-ext so that backups from other ROMs work

Cheers

It's not for Atrix but you can just do it by modifying model name.

I just followed this method.

(Currently having java related problem though)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sspa:
+1 it's a good one and is one of my references too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
+1. Great recommendation. Just used it to complete my first build.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
Thanks for the info - not quite what I was looking for though. If you follow these instructions you build the vanilla CM7. I wanted to get/build the Atrix customized bits (i.e fingerprint scanner for example) which are not in the vanilla sources. I am guessing that can be pulled down from Atrix-dev github. Original post was to see if there was an easy way to do that.

After looking at the atrix developer github, found a default.xml for the .repo that should work, and used it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
The fingerprint scanner was working in my kang. The only thing I pulled from the atrix-dev-team's github were the proprietary vendor files. Other than that those instructions should get you an up to date nightly build.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
Thanks so much for the info - trying it now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
Hmm you have put that in the local_manifest.xml which line did you use? I'm trying to get it to work but somehow can't get the FP unlock option or the change of navigation with fp (navigation does work though).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Well I'm a big dummy. Looks like the only thing that was working was the trackpad navigation. I never use the scan/unlock feature so I just assumed it was working also. I should have checked before posting. I just caught up on my reading and saw your posts with t.s. eliot over in the Weeklys thread, crnkoj. Sorry for the misinformation acerbix. :(

Anyone else successfully built from source with full FP functionality?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
Oh okay - I thought I must be doing something stupid so I PM'd you last night rather than post here. So we all can get trackpad working in the kang but not device setting/lock/unlock

I tried replacing default.xml in .repo with the one in Atrix dev git repository, and then pulling down the code. That lead to multiple build failure, so I am assuming hte changes in the atrix dev github are not synced with the changes upstream coz vanilla cyanogenmod builds fine.

I am not even getting the "Device Settings" option that shows up in the weekly build, though the trackpad works fine. I'll try looking at the Settings.apk code to see if there is something I am missing.

cmkoj: Do you have a local_manifest.xml that works and gives you a good build? Open to sharing that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
ah ghost_og i see, i was like how could he get it to work :) np though :D anyhow i think one has to implement this: https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team/android_packages_apps_Settings into teh build aswell to get fp (read the latest commits there:) ). second to that probably one has to use https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team/android_device_motorola_olympus.git with the branch fingerprint int he local manifest to get it to work than (i have tried this like a few times still not working ...)

acerbix im not sure what you need? do you need a local manifest that makes fp work as it should ( i havent managed to get it to work yet) or just one that works for building? i can sure share the latter one :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t.s.eliot:
Thanks! I feel like such an idiot now. When I changed the drop down list for the branch, I saw the source for the fingerprint unlock actions! (i.e chooselockfinger.java, confirmlockfinger.java).

Off to try a build now!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
Right now, I'd settle for one that works for building. I manually overlay files, so that will definitely be easier :)

Lets know if you get it working :) I'm building too [clobber build just for the heck of it - will keep you posted] :)

Thanks a ton, cmkoj for all the help/pointers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Thank you for pointing out the Settings and Device branches. Was definitely using the old gingerbread branches before. I just replaced those two folders with the fingerprint branch and am building again. Will check back in once it's done. :)

*Update* Still no luck. I tried using the updated Device and Settings folders but only navigation works still. Dang.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
Away from my Atrix so cant try this yet - do you think the kernel matters? Did you switch to the kernel included in the build?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Hey guys, I also noticed that android_ frameworks_base has a fingerprint branch with updated commits from t0dbld. I've included this third replacement folder and will be trying another build. Might want to try including this with the 2 branches crnjok pointed out above. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one. :D

I have not replaced any kernels prior to building and use what comes with the stock build. That's a whole other issue for me. When I try to compile just the kernel my zImage ends up being 1mb bigger than faux's and the packaged boot.img I create will not boot. I'm guessing this is due to my being on a 32-bit machine, but I'm not positive.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
ye i forgot to mention that one lol, i thought its in the fingerprint build though. for my use i manually git cloned the vendor_motorola repo into /working_dir/vendor/ but havent had any luck. regarding the kernel afaik if you put the additional repos into your local_manifest.xml it should use the kernel from there (if one is available). but i dont really think the kernel is needed to be changed, since on my builds i had the authentec.truesuite (or whatever the process for fp is called) running, only the fp unlock/device option were missing (there is a Fingerprintsomething.apk in the vendor repo of atrix dev team that i have had pulled in and built with but it didnt work, so yes im slowly giving up :( (second to that i tried setting up a build env on a second pc that drastically faster than the other one an i cannot get repo sync to sync android_prebuilt - just deleted the whole thing and did init again...)

as for the local_manifest.xml it should look like this http://pastebin.com/ccvVi2k9 for building the gb (that is with nav functioning fp but no unlock) if you want to get unlock to work you need to probably put in the other ones aswell (just by copying the <project path="device/motorola/olympus"

name="Atrix-Dev-Team/android_device_motorola_olympus.git"

remote="gh"

revision="gingerbread"/>

part and changing the name to appropriate and teh revision in all to fingerprint)

thanks go to fattire from the nook color forums who thought me how to make and edit these local_manifest.xml files and i used his file as a template for mine aswell.

i have to admit it im slowly sick of not being able to build one with working fp =/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sspa:
Guys, see here for what directories to be pulled from atrix-dev-team github vs what to be kept in original CM7:

https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team/android/blob/gingerbread/default.xml
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Try updating ~/android/system/.repo/manifests/default.xml. I used this to fix the problem with the prebuilt repo sync:

It was provided in the comments section here.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
yes thanks, lol, i knew about the fix and had the first part of it done with changing to https, but forgot about the second part, idiot i...

anyhow i resynced and am building now on the other pc with this local manifest http://paste.pocoo.org/show/534837/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] v.k:
Ok, one the new virtual machine with ubuntu building completes fine, except the only bug: touch screen is unresponsive after the first boot. That's how I did it:

apart from the fact that this is a year-old thread, git is telling you that such repository doesn't exist.

Thanks for the local manifest paste - will same me at least 15 mins of manual git cloning XD
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
did you test compile it with that and fp unlock works?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
First thing I tried - however, with this, build fails badly :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Try this

<project path="device/motorola/"
name="Atrix-Dev-Team/android_frameworks_base.git"
remote="gh"
revision="master"/>

This might be your problem if it's what you're currently using. You aren't using fingerprint revision. What about:

<project path="device/motorola/"
name="Atrix-Dev-Team/android_frameworks_base.git"
remote="gh"
revision="fingerprint"/>

And please forgive the really dumb question, but where would I look for my local manifest? I've only been making changes to the default one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acerbix:
In the pastebin link, all project paths are set to device/motorola - is that correct, or a copy-paste error?
