[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holda:
Hi,

I would like to buy a tablet with dockable keyboard. But I can't decide whether to buy Asus Transformer, or Tranformer Prime.

Is Prime worth extra money that I would pay for it? Afterall Prime has USB only on dock and there is issue with GPS/Wifi.

Thanks :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
Hmmmm, apples or oranges to dessert?

You decide, good luck on your choice!:)

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Prime for sure. Most of the newer ones aren't as bad for wifi. I get 27 of 40 mbs throughput 2 stories up in my house which is simalar to my Droid raze. I'm happy. Otherwise wait for a new dockable tablet. Don't get the origanal!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
Its a large upgrade for everything but GPS. The screen is an incredible improvement which is so important for a tablet. Not to mention the questionable Tegra 2 processor. Do yourself the favor or wait.

The game is free, somebody can mod the game to work on our device?

REMEMBER ... This is now 120 dpi. You will either need to download LCD Density Pro from the market, or see below for a free alternative!

Posted by Hockey4life0099 thanks!

or you can use the free version (or dpi changer) to modify the dpi back to 160

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------

I wrote this. It looks more complicated than it is cause i broke it down step by step. Ignore my cracked out numbering scheme, i didnt feel like shifting all the numbers down when i added more info.

1. If you dont already have it, download es file explorer

1b. go to the application settings and clear the data for the market

1c. download dpi changer and change dpi to 135(dont reboot yet)

2. go into the options on there and check the root explorer option and the mount option

3. download to TP

http://www.sundergaming.com/downloads/tabletmarketdpiunlocked.apk

4. rename the file Vending.apk

5. long press to copy the file (in ES file explorer)

6. click the star in top right corner (favorites)

7. Choose the phone (/)

8. navigate to system/app

9. paste the app

10. find the app in there called marketupdater.apk or something similar and rename it marketupdater.apk.bak

11. reboot

12. see if you can download an app like flash player. If you cant go to next step

12b. get back to system/app and click the Vending.apk and let it install.

You can mess around with the dpi if you want, but also remember that if the text is small, you can change the default text size in the settings.

The issue i encountered with this method is sometimes the fix stops working, but all you need to do to get the apps to download once again is clear your market data in the application settings. It is obviously much easier to download the app mentioned in the op, but this is for the cheapskates. your only other option is download dpi changer and just switch the dpi back to 160. That is painless but you loose out on some app compatibility and some screen real estate. I myself change the dpi to 138 and change the font size to large. Everything seems to be perfect. Best balance out there IMO.

If we have CM7 installed do we do a factory reset/wipe of the caches and then install the zip directly?
[TouchPad Development] philicibine:
Yep.. I think so. I think you can also flash without a wipe.. but wouldn't recommend.. and if you do.. flash the latest gapps

Not quite sure how to do that just yet. Will look at some other kernels tomorrow ;)

[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
I might have screwed up my instructions on moboot.default as I don't think ES file explorer has read / write permissions in boot although it can have in system. I was trying to keep it simple.

The actual method I used which is a little scarier but not much is to go into Terminal Emulator and do the following to get read write permissions in boot and create a new moboot.default.

su
cd /boot
mount -o rw,remount /boot
echo CyanogenMod > moboot.default

Whilst your in there you can do ls to get a list of all the files and rm filename to get rid of one, but take care.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Depending on what root browser you are using, it works a little differently with each one. Root Explorer requires you tap the icon on the top of the screen to mount the folder from r/o(read only) to r/w(read/write). Rom Tool Box has Rom Browser built in. It does the mount change for you, so just browse to the folder and make your changes. Be careful in Rom Browser, one can delete something and it does not ask for conformation, it just does it.
[TouchPad Development] slyr114:
would it be possible to take this guys Rom Control App or make your own based off of it (ask him first of course) ? Cause it can modify the lockscreen and a bunch of other cool things! http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16983-rom-android-open-kang-project-tenderloin-milestone-3/
[TouchPad Development] philicibine:
Hi guys.. sorry I've been quite busy today.

Will definitley look at using rom control.. as its open sauce! :)

About the dpi issue.. the fix is quite easy.. maybe I could include a script to change the dpi at the touch of a button? The easiest way by far is to get LCD density modder pro. It costs very little and gives you access to a hacked market API whenever the market gets updated.

Working tomorrow.. but will see what I can do with rom control in the evening
[TouchPad Development] slyr114:
awesome good to hear, running ur latest rom now and its pretty dang fly
[TouchPad Development] webdroidmt:
@bobtidey & nevertells2

Thanking the both of you for your tips on editing the moboot.default file.

I wasn't able to initially complete the edit because the 2 file explorers that I use grant me r/w in the system but not in the boot folder. Rom Toolbox worked very nicely, even making a bak file of the original. Appreciate the help.

Also, been reading the last few posts re: dpi and I've tried quite a few and although I love 120 & 132, I keep reverting back to 160. The first issue I had with 120 was d/l an app from Market always created a shortcut on my home screen, which ended up disappearing into the netherworld. :) That was a simple fix, as I just had to disable that auto widget option in Market settings.

Yesterday, with 132, things seemed to be going well but then I couldn't get into Gmail, just kept FCing. I cleared data/cache for Gmail but to no avail. I was going to fix permissions but just decided that 160 wasn't all that bad. Just my 2 cents.

Btw, philicibine, as I mentioned in an earlier post, very nice work with your rom. Just be careful not to "break" the cherry. :p

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

The Rom Control also has a built in function for changing density, including custom DPIs. IMO, definitely worth looking into. Keep up the great work here.

What about the fixed market apk???????
[TouchPad Development] jerryparid:
After doing the Root Explorer /data/misc/wifi manual reset, Wifi has been working for the whole day without one disconnect.

I think it is safe to say Wifi has been fixed by the patch and your implementation into this ROM.
[TouchPad Development] scratchfury:
Does it still work if you reboot, or do you have to do that fix again?
[TouchPad Development] jerryparid:
I just rebooted for you. Wifi still works.

Wifi working (no disconnect, no reset needed) for nearly a day now.

My 32GB Touchpad now feels like a real tablet with ICS + working wifi. Now all we need is HD video playback.

edit: just want to note that that fix is the SAME FIX as the rm -rf /data/misc/wifi fix in terminal emulator or adb. For some reason, neither terminal emulator or adb is working after flashing this rom.

[TouchPad Development] Nizda1:
I read another post about issues accessing the device via adb or term etc... Is anyone else having problems like this? Are you able to see your device when you connect via usb? I was about to put this on, I dont have terrible wifi problems, but its definitely not perfect. Anyways the ability to no be able to use adb or system components could be a very bad problem, especially if you brick your device and cant use adb.

Also how's the battery life with this kernel ?

Thanks & let me know about the adb/term situation I'd love to give this rom a try!
[TouchPad Development] guho:
I noticed I cannot connect to a PPTP VPN using this ROM. Is it just me or a real issue. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] link68759:
Loving it, but right off the bat the market thinks my device isn't compatible with firefox. What gives?

Actually, a number of market entries claim to be incompatible.
[TouchPad Development] AC07:
me too, cannot connect PPTP VPN...

BTW, tks OP for the great rom!
[TouchPad Development] horst0815:
since the dpi is set to 132, this could happen.

use dpi changer, and problem solved.

or open the rom.zip, edit the build prop with other values, e.g. 160, flash again, and problem also solved.
[TouchPad Development] Smac7:
Read the OP.

I had to nandroid back to CM. My screen would never wake up. My guess is it is a havs issue.
[TouchPad Development] slyr114:
all u ahve to do is hard reset and its fine, the other bricked kang does it too the first couple boots but then fixes itself/stops doing it and runs great!!
[TouchPad Development] Nizda1:
So besides the obvious market incompatibility which can be fixed. Has anyone else not been able to access adb or get a system term? If anyone has a second and can try adb or sys term I would really like appreciate it. After reviewing the (wifi patch) commit via the OP's github link, dalingrin commented that it causes firmware crashes and needs more stress testing.

Apparently the patch seems a lot more reliable than its current state in cm9.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] unsivil_audio:
If I remember correctly you can use local.prop to change density of the launcher while retaining perfect market compatibility at a more common dpi. Local.prop only affects applications
[TouchPad Development] enik_fox:
Loving this rom so far but Dead Space is now defaulting to portrait so its no longer playable. Is this something I can fix on my end?
[TouchPad Development] Smac7:
i did several hard resets, nothing seems to work for me. my guess is my TP requires higher voltage and these modified kernels don't work with it since they try to reduce this voltage. Any other suggestions? i tried a regular reboot as well. I had the similar issues on classicnerd and bricked kernel. CM9 never gives me issues aside from touch screen issues after wake every once in a while.

maybe increasing my minimum clockspeed to 384? i guess i could try that, now im back in cm again though. maybe tomorrow.
[TouchPad Development] Nizda1:
Yea try the min clock speed at 384 see how that works also you can increase voltage, 25mv at a time to be safe. I dont know what program your using but what I find works is setting profiles for having it at those rates during screen off. Obviously this methodology is quite backwards from all other devices i own as I prefer them to go to sleep etc.. however the HP prefers to drift into a coma :). I just have one question which would relate to your circumstance; are you able to use adb to get into your device? I know your back in cm but if you were soft bricked and stuck without adb then you'd be in a tough spot.
[TouchPad Development] Smac7:
i try to avoid adb since i'm not great with the commands and whatnot, so i havnt really even attempted to use adb on my TP yet. So far all my "comas" have been resolved by power and home. Ill give it a shot with upping the minimum clockspeed, but i don't really know how to change the voltage directly.
[TouchPad Development] philicibine:
we dont appear to have a local.prop in our build.. so i am wondering how to implement tis in my source???
[TouchPad Development] dan-fish:
I looked on my phone and it has one but when I tried to edit it, it was empty so I'm not sure how that would work. It was located in /data

Also what do you think about implementing cornerstone? Its open source now
[TouchPad Development] keithsipa:
Been playing with the rom for the last couple of nights and love it. Have a couple of problems that I am trying to find work arounds for.

1) No matter what I do, I cannot get the market to work properly, I have done the steps as laid out a few posts ago, and also in the linked thread on the subject, but when I try to install something like Flash, it always says that device is not recognized.

2) I have been plagued with the "sleep of death". It doesnt seem to matter if I let it go to sleep or force a sleep through the lock button. It will randomly not wake up. Nothing will bring it back except a Hard Reset (pwr+home for 30 sec). I am thinking that may be reducing the clock speed may help this? Is there a way to change the max clock speed, such as in a prop file or something?

Thanks guys...
[TouchPad Development] Nizda1:
philicibine,

Are you having any issues getting a system terminal or using adb? I really want to put your ROM on but if we.can't access our touchpads via adb or access terminal functions we would be unable to get the device working in case of a soft brick or random issue as cm9 is still alpha. As far as the SOD issues people are having which seems to plague some cm9 users.worse than others, I definitely notice it happening much more frequently to me when OC. There are few programs to OC/UV setcpu you can find on xda for free, voltage control, and I've seen system tuner pro suggested but haven't used that one. Something I believe will help us find out exactly what Is going on is a mod to the kernel which dumps the sys logs into /proc/last_kmsg when ever the device has to be hard rebooted. If you need the patch/tweak to put in your kernel let me know and ill get it for you, but we need either adb or a term to pull it.

Thanks

[TouchPad Development] scratchfury:
I've never seen anyone mention this, but if you are booted into ClockworkMod, adb works. I just type 'adb shell' and use the commands in the 'mounts and storage' menu to access stuff without having to remember all the mount command line options. It has saved me a few times.
[TouchPad Development] guho:
In the touchpad general section there is a thread from dbaybay about ics hw accel video from a similar device. Could this be applied to kang? For me this is the only big remaining problem as wifi seems sorted now and i do not plan to use the camera
[TouchPad Development] philicibine:
Sorry no build today guys... there were a few commits last night.. and I've had to reset some stuff. Trying to get ROM control to compile with the rom aswell.. I have cloned the aokp git. Just gotta figure out how to implement it.

Maybe something new tomorrow
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
@Nizda1, what is it exactly you are trying to do? If you are looking for free cpu controller apps, there are enough around. You can try Rom Toobox, it has a cpu setting function, Antutu cpu master free is another. System Tuner has extensive setting for all kinds of stuff including the cpu. Hope this helps.

How did you install CherryKang? If you didn't do a clean install, there is a very high chance you are going to have issues like the SOD and other things. I just posted my initial experience with my install and I think it will help you get around your market issues.
[TouchPad Development] keithsipa:
Yeah thanks, I did a clean install and went to CN first. That didnt really do what I wanted, artifacting on certain games. So I then though I would try Cherry and just did the wipe, wipe, wipe method.

I will do another clean tonight (as you posted earlier), and I also added the vending.apk to the latest gapps zip also, to see if that might help out.
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I had not looked in the gapps 403v11 zip for the vending.apk. That will be really interesting if it works for the 132 dpi problem. SOOO... much easier than trying to install after the fact. Let us know how it goes. Don't forget to disable the market updater.apk. The jury is out on whether that helps or not, but that is what is recommended.

[TouchPad Development] Nizda1:
Nevertells2, I was responding to the poster before me asking how to OC/UV. Another user in this forum answered my question that adb worked fine, which is all I really wanted to know bc 2 other people told me they couldn't use.it or access the system terminal by.any.means at all.

Im looking forward to putting this rom on this evening!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[TouchPad Development] keithsipa:
Well I will tell of my success from my original questions/post.

1) I took the latest gapps (the gapps-ics-20120212-signed version) extracted it, then deleted and replaced the Vending.apk file from the system folder( from here then renamed), then re-zipped it. I used that gapps after a clean install. (I would attach it if I knew how)

2) A clean install fixed my "Sleep of Death" issue.

So, after a clean install (as explained by nevertells2) I went straight to the Market to see if I could download Adobe Flash, and it worked... Hurrahhh...(Installed Dolphin HD also, it was giving me fits last night)

I then changed the moboot.default through terminal emulator as explained by bobtidey earlier, then changed the MarketUpdater.apk to MarkedUpdater.apk.bak, just to be sure.

Everything seems to be working good now...

One last question.

Certain Gameloft games give me "This device is not compatible" error, is this from the reported build in the build.prop. (I thought it is reported as a GN, that should be compatible, isnt it?)
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
build.prop

I'm pretty sure you need to edit the build prop so the TP reports it is a compatible device. If you check the CM9 forum on rootzwiki, they talk about what devices are compatible. You have to edit two lines, one for the device and one for the manufacturer. If I run across it, I post the link.

Update, I found a video tutorial on changing the build.prop for game compatibility here:

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=cssyIE4maZY&v=cssyIE4maZY&gl=US
[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
@keithsipa,

Since you brought it up, it reminded me I needed to add something to my build.prop. So I went ahead and changed ro.product.model to GT-I9100 and ro.product.brand to samsung which is for Game Loft games according to the video. I also added the following line at the end of the build.prop file:

net.hostname=Touchpad2

The reason I add that is so my TouchPad reports it's name to the router as a short text string. This goes back to CM7 and wifi issues. The original text string was huge and was said to cause connection issues. In CM7 there was a setting to change the text string. In CM9 and all versions of ICS that setting disappeared. I found out how to change it through the line in build.prop. You can put anything you want after the = for whatever name you want your TouchPad to report.
[TouchPad Development] Nizda1:
So I have been running CherryKang for almost 8 hours so far and have not had any problem whatsoever. Wifi has remained completely stable and I have been running shark for a few hours and even when the network load is high this driver handles it and does not uncouple
