Didn't work for me. XXLA4...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lucid:
Doesnt work on RocketROM 21. I bet its not Eybee's fault :)

Would be nice to change the splash with my owner info.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shinyu:
today i test on XXLA4 it work.

if you can't copy logo_q1.jpg into /mnt/.lfs/ you just root your phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lucid:
Tried again, no joy. My phone s rooted and has RocketROM on it.

I use CWM from recovery mode only, not the app.

What could be the problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] empat:
Hi, just to report that it worked fine for me. With CWM I has some troubles, maybe I was doing some mistake. With the Odin method it worked perfectly. I use CheckRom, XXLA4. It is difficult to choose the right picture, to fit them on the screen, but the process is OK.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
It works !

Only that abyssNote kernel got its own splash screen, meaning, first I get my mod splashscreen, the abyssnote's splash screen and then boot animation.

On Speedmod it works flawlessly cause it doesn't have a own custom splash screen

Rom is Criskelo's

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] andjohn:
Works now! When you have the CAUTION sign, it's using a different picture. Restore the original without the CAUTION sign and it works. There's a how to in the Android Dev on how to remove it without a jig.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shinyu:
remove triangle warning without a jig

1. download stock kernel extract zImage to sdcard.

2. use cwm manager app goto kernel>flash kernel>browse file zImage. phone will be reboot and remove warning sign

3. download custom kernel flash in cwm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
I dont have this problem ( triange/flash count) but to remove it, is really THAT simple?

Why so many users are purchasing this jig thing? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] andjohn:
The jig is for flash count :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
He posted about how to reset flash count without a jig.....or its just removing the triangle? Makes no sense....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shinyu:
JIG use reset binary counter and remove triangle
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] PLEEZEFRAGME:
heya, propably kind of offtopic but i guess thats the best spot to place my question. Does anybody of you have the stock Splashscreen

This one right here

(

as an jpg or even better an png?

I realy need it for my theme.

Thank you.

Stock Image from .lfs folder
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] knightnz:
Worked fine on my LB1 firmware.

Unfortunately, it appears that it doesn't start drawing the image until about 1/3 of the way down the screen, so can't put the same nice fullscreen starfield image that I was using on my SGS2 :(

It does work though, I used MobileODIN to flash the .tar, so no issues with flashcounter or yellow triangle, then used use "adb push logo_q1.jpg /mnt/.lfs" to install it, then rebooted and bingo.

It draws right to the bottom of the screen though, so can put something below the logo, I might work on that basis!

Anyone had any luck with a fullscreen image?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] JazonX:
Thanks for the insight Mate !

Thanks for that

I am selling my Note and I restored original firmware and of course lost root

Custom splash screen still hanging

If I use odin to restore original splash screen, I dont need root right?

Thanks again

EDIT: YES ....I mean no, I dont need root ...original restored !

Work on Jb??

Do this mod compatible with jelly bean xlsz??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] asmanao:
it works. I am using xxltc aryamod rom.

first follow the CWM method in op (for some reason rename the file mnt/.lfs/logo_q1.jpg to logo_q0.jpg)

when it reboots. You'll find a green writing. who says that can not find the file logo_q1.jpg (for the reason above)then the phone will reboot normally

then with "root explorer" copy and paste the file you want in mnt/.lfs. But you must to rename it logo_q1.jpg

reboots and taadaaa! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] faqrulpfs:
Thanks...Now I have Sony Boot logo installed on my NoteZ1...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
It appears like I'm one of the many people with non existent GPS. I wonder how much it really matters though. Outside of location services for apps, what is the point of having this on a wifi only tablet? You are going to get some location info on wifi. When you are not connected to the Internet, what good is the GPS? Google maps generally requires a data connection, as do most apps.

I already knew about the GPS problems before buying the tablet, so I'm not stressing about it.

What are you using GPS for when you are offline?

Thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
I feel the same way, I just got my prime and I knew about the gps issue and to me it is a non issue. The wifi works just fine so I am very happy:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rueben68:
For me is more the fact that I paid $500 + tax for a fully working tablet and its not what I got. I'm funny like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
At this point in time, in a premium 2012 tablet, GPS is not exactly black magic. It should work in a premium tablet - it works perfectly on a wifi samsung 10.1.

At the very latest it's like buying the keyboard dock with a non working sd card reader. Yes, there is the cloud, the micro sd card in the tablet, just plug a usb drive, blah blah blah. Really?

It's there. Its a great gps chip. It should simply f*ing work, simples. :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
True. But, they originally delayed shipment of the tablet because of the GPS issue and then said they were planning to disable it. So, I wasn't even expecting to have the option available on it. I'm just curious what people would use it for if it was functioning. Maybe to make myself feel better that it's not working.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RipplingHurst:
http://bestandroidappsfor.com/maps-navigation/best-android-offline-maps

Offline maps are great for off roading, for instance. Or trekking in a big national park. Heck,een geotagging, tagging your pictures/notes for organizing them later.

Star, planets, educational apps.

Edit: oh yeah, those tablet retrieval security apps...those that would report back (when connected) where your precious is located if stolen. That's about it, LOL.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
Locus Pro, but there are many offline solutions such as CoPilot.

The two posters above nailed the issue dead on.

GPS isn't voodoo, nor is it black magic. It's a standard feature in Android devices. Why is this top of the line, leading edge, Android device deficient?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
As has been discussed many times, Apple has sold tens of millions of iPads with no GPS chip whatsoever, and for $100 more per tablet on a same-storage basis. So, obviously, the market as a whole doesn't demand GPS in a tablet. Toss in about 6 million Kindle Fires to illustrate the point.

I kind of understand the idea that the chip is there so some people want it to work, but for myself I have to admit that I pretty much don't care beyond that completely theoretical level. I suppose my opinion is influenced by the fact that I never once used GPS on my original Transformer. Not a single time. Didn't even think about using it. So, the chip sat there, completely unused. What do I do, complain now that I spent money on something I never used? Should I have demanded a lower-priced version of the Transformer without a GPS chip?

I think the fact remains as it always has with the Prime: if you want navigation-quality GPS on a tablet, then the Prime isn't for you. Neither is the iPad. So, make a different choice. I choose to simply think of the Prime as a tablet that's like the iPad in not having GPS, only $100 cheaper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
Do you turn off the GPS location services in the settings? Does this actually turn off the radio to preserve battery or just disable the app usage?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrmark93:
Regarding your title question.... To you... Not much. To others... I can't say, but for me, I put off my purchase directly because this feature is not available/functional.

'always' = o'rly?

As it remains, now, yes, but AFTER ASUS TOOK THAT FEATURE OFF OF THE SPECIFICATION LIST....AFTER ALREADY MANUFACTURING IT AND SELLING IT AS PREVIOUSLY SPECIFIED AS HAVING GPS CAPABILITY

sorry for SHOUTING, but some folks forget the timeline involved, and also that we are not all after the same thing -feature wise- with tablets or other technologies. Some features are more important to others, some features may never even be used by some folks...maybe they will use it in the future or folks will give the tablet to their kids who my discover unused features.

Also, some of ya'll must never travel out of cell phone signal range, and that's a very sad thing, because there exists a LOT of places on this beautiful planet and some of them, gasp, don't have wifi or cellular coverage for location services-places where I turn phones off because they become completely useless. I travel to some of these places, and would be nice to navigate, geocache, geotag pictures from my DSLR, watch movies, play some simple games, keep notes of the journey, itinerary, etc... on less than 2 or 4 devices, possibly even on just 1 nearly awesome device... but I guess not this one-that doesn't make me wrong for wanting GPS capabilities on a high-performance Android Tablet and being interested in one that was supposed to have said capability.

/rant
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
GPS doesn't drain battery if not in active use, it's not like wifi that test network even when no network usable.

So you can leave it on but what for...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
The "GPS location service" is WiFi. Google has mapped out where millions of WiFi nodes are, plus you are getting AGPS data over WiFi if there is an open access point.

"GPS Satellites" is what you want to uncheck to save battery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrmark93:
Use your imagination! Think of places where you might want to know where you are but there is no wifi or cell coverage. Think of things you would want to do with that information. Think of reasons for wanting that information integrated within a device you use for other purposes (ie: using something you already have with you instead of bringing something additional)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
The sad thing is mine and my dads prime had gps working outside until the last update which was to "fix the gps".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jtsmall:
Yes, my GPS was working too until the last update specifically for GPS. Then it no longer worked. It has been posted that the update would disable GPS. Guess I should've believed that and passed.

I use GPS a lot with my smartphones and wanted it here for the larger map. I carry a 3G MiFi for travel so maps and aGPS were a go once upon a time and the larger map was indeed a plus.

It matters to me but I'm not returning my Prime until or unless a fix is known.

-jts
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
Are you planning to purchase an alternative tablet for GPS? Is the Galaxy Tab the only other one with that feature?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
My Prime's pretty solid, no real issues that aren't software as far as I can tell.

If Asus can't fix the GPS issue I'll probably buy a bluetooth GPS puck and call it a day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
That's what I meant... thanks.

I actually noticed Google Maps was crashing on me when I had GPS turned on and couldn't get a signal. Then when I turned it off and just used wifi for location, it worked fine. Plus, every time I open Facebook it tries (and fails) to find my GPS location. So, I will probably just disable it for the time being.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bogside:
+1. A good point well made.

If I ever need GPS data I can use my mobile, but can't ever remember needing to use it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Okay, yes, there is a group of people who bought Primes and didn't find out about the likely permanence of the GPS issue until after their return policy expired. For those people, ASUS needs to come up with a solution, up to and including giving a refund.

However, this thread is about whether GPS matters today. Certainly, anybody buying it now and visiting this forum has zero reason to complain, except in general to say "Boy, I really wish the Prime had working GPS, because then it would be the perfect tablet." Fact is, though, it doesn't, and so that wish and $.25 won't even get a person a cup of coffee nowadays.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
When I get out of cell range, I have my GPS working on my phone. It has CoPilot which has downloaded maps. I don't travel anywhere without my phone (even to places without cell as there are places with wifi) I do travel without my tablet at times. So for me, my solution is to use my phone either to tether the GPS to the Prime or just use my phone exclusively. Would I like to have it on the tablet 100% working.. sure.. but I'm not going to let something that's not working, if I enjoy the other aspects of the product, get in my way of not finding a viable solution to the problem.

in any case, to answer the OP, it doesn't matter as I can't remember one time using the GPS on the original Transformer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
My opinion, yes it does. Its good to have mulitple devices with GPS specially if your always on the go. You leave your phone home but thought it was in your pocket, you have another device. Using someone else's car and your phone is low on battery, you have a alternate. Its just one of those things, where it can be put in play on various scenarios. I have a phone that has actualy had GPS... and I always used it. Due to a firmware update to unlock the phone, I lost GPS capability. Couldnt revert back to older firmware, this is where a GPS tablet comes in handy. But I returned my primes a few weeks ago and I waited for it since late nov.

And I do agree, its not a new addition on tablets or any portable devices. So surely if it had it as a spec, it better work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrmark93:
I really do like the Asus TP, it's a real nice tablet. I have looked at the Tab, and I just don't seem to like the thing. Yes, I do plan on purchasing an alternative. I have and use my Nook Color a lot, and with CM7 it's been a great little tablet. I want a bigger screen, and a functional tablet that doesn't need an alternative OS to make it functional, Asus TP is about the only thing going that fits what I'm looking for.

I'm sure I read the original post differently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] corman1:
whine whine whine

For me, it is not a big deal. For all those who are whining, send it back. Why woud you keep something that is not what you expected. If the gps is a deal breaker then you should have sent it back when you first noticed it and waited for the next transformer with better gps.

The gps issue has been talked about over and over.

Before you go on about "I paid $500 and I want it to work", guess what, we all paid that but if you chose to keep it, then you have nobody to blame than yourself.

Bottom line, if you don't like it you should have returned it,.

end of rant
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrmark93:
I get what you are saying, and I agree wholeheartedly that the subject has been beaten to a pulp. I didn't start this thread, somebody else did, and they asked a few questions. Folks (like myself) felt the need to answer those questions. Make it so this particular question can't come up again, and it won't be brought up again. HOWEVER the title of the thread IS perfectly clear, if you don't want to read about it, don't CLICK... pretty darn simple! IE: YOU have nobody to blame for reading this other than yourself.

Here's another generalized (not pointed at any individual) take on the subject: It's none of your damn business what I or anyone else wants to use a feature of any device for. Bottom line: it was marketed and spec'd for certain performance/features. It is not meeting those original standards; some of the folks care, some don't--if you don't care, why do you argue against those that DO?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Then why post to add your comment? If your sick of it dont bother reading it or posting. The OP is asking and people are giving their opinions, if GPS matters or not. No one needs your opinion why people are *****ing about GPS and your bottom line has been kicked to death also, so why say it again? Its the Transformer Prime model TF201.. not TF201 w/GPS or

TF201 w/o GPS. The same model but with erratic stock performance is not a good device. They should all perform the same and not from one scale to the other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
When I bought mine, GPS worked. Then after my return period was up, Asus killed it with the last update. So I think I do have reason to whine about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
So, there is a possibility that software could resolve this issue in the future? I thought these issues were all related to the aluminium backing causing interference with the GPS radio.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
Well, I originally posted this so I could see if I was going to have an 'oh ****' moment down the road for GPS not working. I just got this thing and I still have a week to return it. So, I was asking because I didn't want to find out some functionality I really want needs GPS. So far, the reasons people mentioned don't really apply to me.

The fact that this has a micro SD card slot and micro hdmi are two features I would choose over GPS... which is why I went with the Prime over the Galaxy Tab.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
From what I have gathered from other threads. Possible GPS and wifi problems:

aluminum cover

pogopins nocontact, partial contact, full contact, and depends how you squeeze

firmware
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
The aluminium backing causes the signal to be week (Some people say this isn't true because they claim that the signal goes through the screen, which makes a lot of sense). Prior to the latest update I could get a lock on 10-15 sats outside. No its dead as a door nail. My Dad also has a prime and the same has happened to him.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr44:
It definitely matters to those who know the capability of the satellite based technology.

While the military originally deployed gps sats for accurate target id and tracking, part of the system is now providing x,y, z location and motion data to the public and gov agencies. Knowing the whereabouts of people, vehicles and assets are very important specially to insurance companies. If gps data can be integrated with computerized navigation systems and maps, accidents like the grounding of the cruise ship Concordia may have been averted and lives saved.

For computer geeks and tablet gamers, the use of gps may be as mundane as the first few years when the personal computer was first built by Apple. It will take some time to get acquainted with new technology but for now, here's a few ideas that may help educate those interested in the use of gps.

12 Practical Uses of GPS for Everyday People

http://ezinearticles.com/?12-Practical-Uses-of-GPS-for-Everyday-People&id=74085
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] green750one:
Some posters have said that if you want "professional" gps then go buy a garmin or tomtom, but what exactly is one of those devices? It's a gps chip in a box with a bunch of offline maps, an o/s & a touch screen, oh & an antenna. What's my phone/prime or any other device? Exactly the same & they should work just as well. You dont need wifi or 3g for gps, it just augments it.

So in my case, I dont NEED it to work. I just WANT it to work because it should.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
Well, I didn't test the functionality before I upgraded to ICS. I pretty much did the upgrade as soon as I pulled it out of the box. So, I don't know what mine were like before. But now it appears I don't get any. I still have to go outside and do a full test with a clear view of the sky. But, I wasn't getting anything standing next to a giant window in the hotel I was in... where my phone can still get a GPS signal. There wasn't even a hint of a signal.

As for the signal going through the screen... that makes sense because the error says to hold your tablet face up to acquire a signal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
Yeah... I'm not saying GPS doesn't matter. I use it all the time on my phone for a lot of different things. I was wondering how much usefulness it would have in a tablet. That's why I was asking what people use GPS for on their tablets... or in this case (since no one really has it) what they WOULD use it for it they did. Lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
This drives me crazy. The iPad has no competition. It's a singular device sold by a singular manufacturer with a cult following.

The Prime should be compared to against two things:

1) Other $399+ Android tablets who all (even Asus with the TF101) include GPS. Check out the official Asus video for the OG Transformer. It shows using GPS as a feature at :48. If they didn't feel it was a marketable and compelling feature they wouldn't have included it in their commercial.

2) Asus intended the Prime to have full-fledged GPS or they wouldn't have bothered putting in the chip and antenna. And no, it's not a requirement to get Android market access.

So if everyone who bought the Prime doesn't care that it's lacking a feature that all other high-end Android tablets have, that's cool. But to make it seem OK just because the iPad doesn't have it makes no sense at all.
