[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
With regard to dead pixels, I dunno why it bugs the hell outta some people. Mine has 2 bright pixels at the middle of the screen. But unless the screen is totally dark and the brightness is set to maximum, you cannot see them. In auto brightness mode, you can't see them at all, even on a black screen. Unless you are anal about this or use your prime at a distance of 1 centimeter, it shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps my bright pixel is not as bright as others. I dunno.

As far as WiFi is concerned, I don't care. Yes, speed tests reveal that my WiFi is slower than my phone's or laptop's. But I can download any file just as fast as on my phone/laptop. It is because not all sites offer you blazing fast download speeds. I can download stuff at a steady 1-1.3 MBps speed. Finally, with regard to screen bleed, I probably don't have it.

All in all, it is a very fast tablet. It is very capable and may be faster than iPad 3 (a.k.a. "The New iPad"). Though the new iPad has a quad core GPU, it has a dual core CPU and CPU is what matters on a daily basis... Anyway, I think i went off topic a little here.

Long story short, I don't think you really need to return the tablet. It is a very capable device. Hopefully "Ubuntu for Android" gets released soon on this! :D

If you do that, you'll have to wait indefinitely. Because, everytime a great tablet (or phone) comes out, there is always a better one coming round the corner...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
tegra3 more than strong enough. new Ipad A5x chip is hype n uses exact same CPU as in ipad2. check out other thread for proof. tegra3 CPU is alot more powerful than either ipad2 A5 or ipad2 A5x chip(which only includes a slight Gpu performance increase which is needed for their new display).

I'd say keep it if you satisfied with it. if not, just exchange it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias747:
Well I think that I am really anal then, because yeah, it does bug me unfortunately. I really do need to get over it because like you said, I know that if I were to show my tablet to 100 people, 99 of them wouldn't even be able to notice it. Mine isn't "bright" as you describe it, its just DEAD. So on an all white screen it stays black. Same with just about every other color. No Pixel fixer applications do anything to help either. As for the screen bleed, it is only mostly visible with a black screen. Its on the right side of the screen and when I push on it a little bit it changes a little. I really wonder what causes that...

Anyway, I have made up my mind that I am going to keep my Prime. I love it and there is no major reason why I should dump it at this point. Glad you all talked me out of it. By the way, I noticed that you are from the X2 forums with the Melvin signature... haha too bad we are stuck that turd of a phone... We had to buy a Transformer to get our fill of ICS! lol

Sort of off topic but not really: Since I did buy this Prime as an open box I just thought about the possibility that someone could have bought this before me, locked the bootloader and then returned it... I REALLY don't want that since I really want my 1 year warranty... Is there a way for me to easily tell if my Prime has been unlocked? Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
If you use the Asus bootloader, then it's unlocked, or you can try calling Asus, and giving your Serial number and see if it's in there.

If you have big problem with it, just try to exchange it from where you bought it, or a brick and morter store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
I believe you can't re-lock it once it is unlocked. And I believe you can't return it on warranty claims once it is unlocked, unless may be you are lucky. What you can do is return it and buy it at bestbuy and ask for a price match with Micro center's price. I got $53 off my Prime! Bestbuy is rad, and I love the price match thingy.

And yeah, I am from the Droid X2 forums! I didn't buy this for filling the ICS void per se but it is sweet that this has ICS! It is super smooth, though I didn't have much experience with Honeycomb to tell if it is any better than it. Still very sexy stuff!!! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
To add on to the BestBuy thing, technically they require a microcenter store within 25 mile of where you live, but some agent doesn't know that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guthrien:
I saw a pretty decent article the other day about upgrading the iPad but it seemed to apply well to other tablets, etc. it said to upgrade if you found yourself using it at least 10 hrs a week. it's wholly arbitrary, but the idea being, if you're going to spend 10+ hours a week with the Transformer it's worth keeping as your daily driver. It's a piece of tech that has become a part of your daily life.

There will always be something better within about 3 months in the Android tablet space. What I disagree with is that specs mean much outside Tegra 3s better video decoding and screen resolution that is probably going to get a lot better very soon.

No problem at all this is very hard work!

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Installation aborted. It could just be me but I tried twice. But no worries we get it soon I'm sure! Thanks again fj
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Would not boot but I will redownload Ron was not built in a day

It just gets bootloop.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
I was able to download and install it, but it goes into bootloop . Of course, I read that it doesn't work only hours after trying to get this to load.

I know we'll get something good once the problems are resolved.

Thanks for working on getting this out for us to enjoy. I can only imagine the number of sleepless hours spent on doing all that work; and for very little rewards (except for the complaints when something doesn't work).

Please keep up the good work. We are so lucky to have people like you around.

Thank you fjfalcon! :thumbup: :beer:

Now i'll stop my working. thanks(?!)

I will always cheer for your build work.

Good luck!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
J.Y.Daddy maybe you may create bootfix for motoroi ?

Than our motoroi friends may use this rom?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] J.Y.Daddy:
Unfortunately, Motoroi is impossible from only Bootfix.

Must be use the only one firmware. It's "Korea Motoroi 39R firmware".

All the other firmware does not work.

So, i'll try port to your's CM9 base on 39R firmware.(when time permits) ;)

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
I've flashed lwxddlqcm9.zip on my XT711 which is a chinese version of XT720. The phone boot successfully. But the baseband is unknown. And it seems that sim card can't be recognized. I've tried to setprop ro.baseband in super-terminal. But it is useless. I've replaced with stock baseband and many XT720' baseband. And it doesn't work. Is there any easy way to handle with it？

Thanks in advance！
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
First, I know that fjfalcon is working on this and he will update his first post once it works. I'm only posting this in case it helps anyone here.

Here are my experiences with this rom so far.

It won't go pass the Motorola logo.

I tried the March 8, 9 and 10 updates and none have worked.

For now, I stay on fj's CM7 and will try the next CM9 update when posted.

Don't get me wrong, I love trying out ROMs and helping, if I can. My only experience is with installing ROMs so I cannot do much more than share what I've tried doing with my installs.

Many thanks to fjfalcon, whom I'm sure as many other things to do.

I also would like to say thank you to people like Mioze7Ae, mchlbenner, J.Y.Daddy, LibertyMonger and others for working, helping and even just posting about everything and anything that could help the less experienced users, like me.

Thank you guys! :beer:
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Can someone nicely give some advices to handle this problem?

Baseband is unknown and sim card can not be recognized by the phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
You should go to the [ROM] 9.0.4.3 lwxddg. thread by mchlbenner and ask your question there. This cm9 here is the one fjfalcon is working on, and not the same as far as I know.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
So.. i can make build to you.

From you i need what files have you changed, and codename of xt711. (xt720 - sholest, droid - sholes, defy - jordan, razr - spyder) and e.t.c.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
There's probably some way to incorporate it into our builds. If you look at his porting instructions most of it boils down to making a duplicate init.mapphone_umts.rc as init.choi.rc and some similar edits to orbootstrap.

The part that's more tricky is that XT711 needs some libraries swapped (I think Motoroi needs the same files swapped--they're files that I had to substitute to get jydaddy's ROMs running on XT720). That could go into either a bootfix update or if we can figure out how to detect which phone we're on we could put it in the updater-script. XT711 may be easier to detect than Motoroi because of the mapphone_umts/choi difference. It's too bad there are no XT711 and Motoroi on CraigsList in Cincinnati ;) Or we could go super ugly and make it a "preference" in a new version of OR.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
even more.. if we can make bootfix for that i can do 3 builds at once.

Original ms xt720

motoroi xt720

xt711

and just move it to xt720 everytime.

So, i need bootfixes.

I think the bootfix is easy to make, maybe I can do it. Because the changes to port is very very minor.

BTW, I'm really interested with build from source. Because I only involve in this area one month, so I need more study. I wish I can get your instructions when I think I'm ready for that.Thanks in advance.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
How about the gps is it fixed yet.

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Hi,fjfalcon,

your rom is for Original ms xt720? I've a friend who are using motoroi xt720

He released lwxddlqcm9.zip which mchlbenner post a thread to test.

He wants to use your rom. So we need to know how to boot motoroi xt720

normally. Atter replaced "/system/lib/libril-moto-umts-1.so","/system/lib/libsrv_um.so","/system/bin/pvrsrvinit" yesterday, his phone stuck at bootanimation.

If we can make it boot normally, I can make bootfix for XT711 and motoroi xt720

and test it.

Edit:

As for build from source, I've questions to ask.

Where can I download CM9 source? I can't find git address for ics from https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Phone.

After download source, how to make it fit for XT720 and XT711?

How to build from source? Does these two tutorial works?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
IIRC Google stated that building ICS requires 64-bit OS, but I may be wrong about that. CM6 and CM7 are supposed to build with either 32bit or 64bit OS. I've only used 64bit linux hosts myself. nadlabak has said he builds on a windows laptop inside a VM.

You need a good chunk of free disk space for the source and intermediates. CM6 needs ~15GB. If you need more specific values I can look them up tomorrow.

It's pretty easy to setup a debian-based linux (i.e. a linux that uses apt-get for package management) to build android. I use both Ubuntu 11.10 and Debian Lenny. I think google recommends ubuntu. These instructions describe how to install the build tools:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Droid:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

There's also a page describing setting up MacOS X as a build host (not supported for CM6, but should work for CM7 and CM9).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Thank you,fjfalcon.

I'm using msysgit under windows 7 download from here:

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

I'm now downloading ubuntu 11.10. I'll install it alongside my win7.

After that, I'll try to download the source code.

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

Thank you, Mioze7Ae,

"http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download " recommend to download 32bit version.

My os is win7 64bit now.

I'll download UBUNTU 11.10 64bit version too.

I've little experience about using UNIX, linux. So I need time to familiar with ubuntu and Debian Lenny that you are using.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Get the 64bit ubuntu 11.10.

The reason they recommend the 32bit is because some specific applications that casual users will care about have buggy 64-bit Linux versions (i.e. 64bit flash on Linux sucks). Rarely some graphics drivers don't work on 64bit--this is much less common than it used to be.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
ok. I'll install 64bit version. Thanks again!

Edit: I'm now using utunbu 64bit. And I'll try to download source code.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
I'm now running "repo sync -j 5" to download source code.

Do I need to install java SDK on my ubuntu?

Do I need to install android SDK?

Does "make -j 8 bacon" take times and ". build/envsetup.sh"/"lunch cm_sholest-userdebug" runs quickly?

If I want to build from source for XT711, how to change the source code?

I'm sorry for asking so many questions. But I've google much to arrive the step "repo sync".

Thank you all!

Edit: Why I can't see SDK for linux 64bit from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I only see "Linux (i386)"

Edit: I see. The "Linux (i386)" can be installed on both 32bit and 64bit.

lost link for stock

Hey guys could someone post the correct stock xt720 file to flash that I could use CM9? I had it but Lost it... I understand there's a specific stock to get the mod working..thanks in Advance :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Yes (technically possibly no, do it anyway)

I think things changed a little bit for ICS. After repo sync you need to run this once:

vendor/cm/get-prebuilts

or you will have a stupid build error about missing RomManager and crap like that. After that you run:

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch cm_sholest-eng

mka bacon

To build. ". build/envsetup.sh" and "lunch" are very quick--they're just configuring your terminal and the source tree to build for XT720 (sholest==XT720).

ALSO

After repo sync ends do this:

repo start xt711 --all

This will create git branches named xt711 for all the repositories so you can keep track of your changes. It's *very* *important* to run this because otherwise repo can delete your changes when you run repo sync to update your tree. I learned this lesson the hard way. Just do it.

There is no device for XT711 at the moment. For now just use sholest and make your changes there. About 99% of what you'll need to look at/modify is inside the directory device/motorola/sholest

Edit: disk use after build:

13G	CM6

18G	CM7

21G	CM9

Mioze7Ae ，thank you for your detailed instructions. You help me a lot!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
it is not just You learning hard:):):).. in my case the "side" effect, was learning git (branching, commit-s, cherry-pick, rebase etc.... usually things which are used hardly...)

also beware, that you have to have enough free space in /tmp (usually something around 300 Mb is ok), also it is not good idea to update gcc, glibc etc, during building :):):)

take a look here:

http://elinux.org/Android_Build_System

especially make targets. I found that

make <local_module>

make clean-<local_module>

mm / mmm

are very handy too
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Thank you all!

I'm now making my build. I don't even know what will be included in it.

It seems that the make procedure is running normally along with some warning.

Hope it will end up with a rom. Hope the disk is enough. After repo sync and install all tools needed, there is 9G left. I don't know if it's enough for making a build. Or I'll have to re-install ubuntu outside of win7 because install alongside win7 has a limit of 30G.

edit:it is still running. I'll have a rest.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It may be a little close at 8G. My out directory for CM9 is 11G (but it could be a little larger than usual because the last one I tried was an odex build)

du -hs android/CM9/out

11G

You can probably work around this without reinstalling if you have access to a removable drive thats big enough. You can mount it and then run

export PRODUCT_OUT=/media/usbdrive

. build/envsetup.sh

And it should put the build in /media/usbdrive. (you probably need NTFS or ext partition type though--I'm not sure if the time resolution on FAT is adequate)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] telnet777:
Thank you,Mioze7Ae.

I've re-installed ubuntu outside of win7 to speed up disk access and avoid the limit of 30GB.

Now the disk size is not problem. I've allocate 51GB mount at /home,10GB mount at root directory, and 4GB for linux swap . And I found it is still very easy to access files under win7. Ubuntu has already mounted win7 patitions automaticly.
