Hey all,

I setup a "Donate to me" button to except any bounty contributions to get wifi and bluetooth within ArchLinux working for the TF300T.

Please use the donate button to the right under my name to contribute to the bounty. If cb22 comes back and fixes it himself he will be given the bounty. Alternatively if no one solves the issue in ...*thinks* 6 months then I'll send the money back to all the bounty contributors. I will add $15 to the bounty myself. I will make an official bounty post later this evening or early tomorrow.

Also, it would be wrong not to mention that what cb22 has already put together is pretty cool. Think about donating directly to him

Thanks!

Hi everyone

Sorry about my recent absence, after finishing this year at varsity (I'm studying electrical and computer engineering, which lines up nicely with my hobbies), I just needed a break from things technology related.

Anyhow, I see Valantur has been doing some great work in figuring things out and deciphering some of my mess too, and to realaxed, good idea with the bounty.

Before I had exams, I was actually working on a little build system that would build you your own rootfs and kernel - and it was pretty much working, so I'll be getting that cleaned up and released. The aim is to have how everything is made to work well documented somewhere, and not just have magic scripts in odd locations that tie everything together.

On a less happy note, my touchscreen has, uh, stopped working. I'm going to try take it to Asus on Monday, but being an unlocked device, I'm not holding out too much hope for a free warranty replacement.

Now, one of the weirdest issues seems to be the constant WiFi not working, even though it works for me. If someone wouldn't mind giving me access to their tablet via SSH (which will be quite a fun task over USB, in and of itself) then I'd be able to figure out why on earth it is doing what it is.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] HaPe000:
Thanks :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
is there also a chance to see it for cm based ROMs as it would need another kernel :confused:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Valantur:
Welcome back!

I've been trying to keep the project alive but my experience is quite limited when it comes to hacking the kernel or making modules work. Anyway, I'm sad to read about your pad being out of commission. I hope that ASUS honors the warranty and doesn't make a huge deal about the tablet being unlocked.

Now, back to business:

I found that there's a problem with the interactive governor that makes a process named "kinteractive_lo" to stay in an uninterruptible. I tried to fix it but gave up after a week of peeking and poking on /sys/devices. Since switching to ondemand or any other governor doesn't make the process go away, I compiled the kernel without the interactive kernel and set ondemand as default. Works pretty well if you ask me.

I was also having a problem with alsa while restoring the controls' statuses. I ended up disabling the store/restore service in systemd and added a few lines that unmute the internal speaker after booting up.

After fixing those two issues, I'm now able to reboot the tablet gracefully, without having to press the power button.

With regards to the wifi issue, I never had problems with any wifi AP and I've tried several of them with different authentication encryption methods so I don't think I can help with that.

What else... a couple of modifications to the kernel,many mods to xfce to improve overall user experience (the changes you saw in this thread) and.... I don't remember what else but let me know as soon as you're back to business and I'll send you the files if you want ;)

Did I say it's awesome to have you back?!!?

OH, by the way, some folks in the tf700 dev forum are working on implementing ubuntu in a dual boot config for the tf700. Make sure you cked it out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2026919

Cheers

Have anyone started Arch of tf300t? 've tried few times, and I always get bootloop. Does Arch work on tf300t?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] realaxed:
Hey cb22. Glad you're back. I don't think SSH would work because you would get disconnected before you're able to do anything while I'm logged into Arch (unless you're talking about connecting while I'm logged into android). I do have a usb wifi device that the tablet can detect, but I can't setup the drivers for it since I don't have the header files.

I could let you connect to my device via SSH if it would help. Let me know via private message and we can try.

Just a quick heads-up, both your download mirrors are "exhausted" CB!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cb22:
Ah, that's irritating. I'll be releasing a new image soon - and as I've mentioned before my upload speed is dead slow, so if anyone wants to get hold of a rootfs in the meantime, I'm sure someone here will be kind enough to upload a copy :p

In other news, I've managed to get the latest brcmfmac driver from compat-wireless (now compat-drivers) working! Stability, performance, etc are all unconfirmed, but being an official in-tree driver, it should have pretty high standards.

There is one case that looks promising so far (many thanks to Realaxed for his testing and help) of this driver working where there were issues connecting before. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with NetworkManager at the moment (some issue to do with SET_NETDEV_DEV not actually doing anything when it should, and thus the "device" symlink in sysfs not being created).

Guys, if you need to get sudo working here is what I did:

# pacman -Sy core/sudo

uncomment the line %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL in /etc/sudoers

then run

# gpasswd -a user wheel

The above is probably simple for most, but I really am a linux noob. Thought I should post just in case.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rikusuicide:
can i istall this on Asus Transformer Prime TF201 ??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] realaxed:
Highly unlikely. The prime and the pad are significantly different. However, I am pretty sure ubuntu has already been ported to the prime.

There might be a better thread than the one I posted above.

Don't try this on your prime.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rikusuicide:
- Not working:

Bluetooth

Trackpad

Sound

Sensors (ALS, Gyroscope, Accelerometer, GPS, magnetometer)

Shutdown, Reboot, Suspend

on ubuntu...

Hope he can port this to the prime would be nice!!!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] University of Pi:
noob question; What are the advantages of running it this way vs a chroot/vnc method?

(perfomance obviously but how so; is it noticibly faster this way [compared to something like complete linux installer with all other apps closed]?)

obviously the main advantage of a chroot method is how easy it is to switch back and forth

on a side note has anyone seen a free app that installs whatever distro you want (like say via an iso file)?

edit: actually complete linux installer will do that if you configure a zip of the image properly
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] droidgirl74:
Thank you. The only problem is I cannot seem to download the linux.tar.gz without it 1) taking ages and 2) interrupting after 2-3 hours :(

Can anybody reupload it somewhere else please or create a torrent file and seed? I really would like to try this...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cb22:
It's much, much, much faster GUI wise. Like on par, if not faster than a normal Atom based Netbook.

I'm almost done with a new rootfs / kernel, that has the latest brcm80211 in-tree drivers from the 3.8 kernel (which should hopefully fix all the issues people have been encountering) as well as Bluetooth, and a much better mouse feel. (two finger scrolling, too!) I've pulled in the latest Tegra drivers, and there seems to be a performance improvement too - the GUI feels snappier and there doesn't seem to be any weird artifacting (although maybe that's due to Xorg 1.13)

I've requested hosting from goo.im - so hopefully I'll get that, and with it a fast place to host files. If not, I'll grab myself a server somewhere. It's something I've been meaning to do for a while.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
From time to time I cannot connect to mobile data, even though 3G shows above the signal triangle. A few solutions that randomly work are to toggle the radio from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only (and then back to LTE), toggle in and out of airplane mode, and the last resort of rebooting. The only method that works consistently is rebooting. Happened again today, and I noticed a few oddities on the phone status page in settings:

- Both IMEI and MEID were shown as "unknown"

- Phone number was visible

- Mobile status shows "connected"

- IP addresses (both IPV4/IPV6) were assigned

Prior to this (for the past 108 or so hours of uptime) all was fine, but in the midst of playing Words with Friends the signal bars grayed out and would not resume the connection. After several trials of my "solutions", I had to reboot. Sure enough, after reboot all was well again, and the IMEI and MEID were again displayed correctly in the phone status page.

As my signature shows, I am stock unrooted. While I have seen that a few individuals somehow wiped out their efs partition during a flash, that doesn't seem to be the case here since all of my info came back upon reboot.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Since you're completely stock, try exchanging for a referb with Verizon?

Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I found that reseating the SIM card fixed my triangle (Roaming) issue. May be worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myriad46:
I had this same issue. Sudden loss of service. IMEI: unknwon, Phone Number: unknown, etc...

I brought it to VZW to try a new sim. No go. They told be to call Samsung.

They verified that I actually had tried the idiot proof stuff, and confirmed its dead. Still under 1 year manufacturer's warranty. They're paying to mail it back and say they'll repair it, and send it back to me. Here's hoping they don't care that I've been flashing it like crazy for the past 5 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Hard to say our problems are related. I am stock unrooted, and as stated in the OP only my IMEI and MEID were unknown. Also came back on reboot. Chances are you killed your efs partition during one of your flashing sessions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
In the future, if anyones IMEI/MEID is perm-disabled due to whatever reason... my thread found here(Post #2) has info on repairing the Gnex MEID/ESN/IMEI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Live2Follow:
This has happened to me recently. I've been flashing *safely* since the G1. Since Jelly Bean flasshing removed my network access. I went through a warranty repair and upon unlocking same problem. If my MEID or ESN is corrupt, I have not figured out how to repair it using Prime's instructions. That's a new world to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myriad46:
Autoprime, I did find that thread in my frenzied search to fix my phone. I downloaded the tool in post #2 but was confused how to get my phone connected as a COM port, or converserly, it would not recognize it when I changed the setting to USB. Do I need to put my phone in a particular mode, before that utility will recognize it? Do I have to go through the setup in Post #1 (ETS) prior to using the IMIE writing utility? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
as u said in last sentence... you will have to go thru post 1 steps(only some of them!) to connect to meid tool.

since you guys are on a verizon gnex.. you would need to flash a Sprint rom in order to set the phone into diag mode. i believe most vzw roms have these options left out.. at least stock did.

2 things are required for a successful Ets Diag connection...

1. setting diag mode... this is the *#*#DIAG#*#* menu

2. setting Ets Channel mode to "USB" . This is done in the *#*#DATA#*#* > More > Ets Channel settings.

It MAY be possible to stick with the Verizon rom and use the Sprint Diagnostics App: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

not sure if it works with VZW roms tho(im a sprint user).

The VIA Ets tool is the equivalent to messing with QPST/QXDM on Qualcomm phones. Just like Qualcomm phones have to be put into diag mode first before connecting to QPST, the Galaxy Nexus has to be set in the right mode as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myriad46:
Thanks very much for laying that out. Is this something that "just happens"? It seems like (over several months) I flashed 50 - 60 times, radio a few times, changed from CWM to TWRP with no problems and then in the middle of the day, I just lose signal.

Could it be a hardware issue? I read somewhere that a modem in a phone got fried and caused the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
i mean.. in my experience it comes with messing with the phone.. the EFS etc. could be from a bad flash.. but yes it could be hardware... or theres even a small chance its just random. youd have to look at the factors leading up to the issue for the best guess.

overall tho.. outside of messing with the efs/NV.. its kinda weird for it just just to happen.. id consider that very rare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myriad46:
UPDATE: sent back to Samsung. They replace the main board under warranty. Works like a charm now.

Missing MEID/IMEI no service but internet is working.

I've been searching high and low and have came across various forums that are related to my problem but I'm still not sure if its the problem I have

or what to do exactly. I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with VZW, rooted, running a custom ROM (CM10), Android version 4.1.2 JZO54K. My

service got disconnected and when I paid to get it reconnected I get an empty signal triangle and sometimes an R above it (roaming). My internet

works oddly enough but I'm unable to receive/make calls or text messages. My status reflects; Network: searching for service; Service state: out of

service; Mobile network state: disconnected; MEID: unknown; IMEI: unknown. Before my phone was disconnected it was working fine, please

help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lostindark:
If you did some backups time to time and if you have backup of data folder, inside of data folder you should have folder radio. Inside the radio folder should have data.bin file and data.md5. In my case they was original data files of my phone and after their copy to factory folder ot restore my IMEI.

I hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MCapac007:
Yeah unfortunately I never did... any other suggestions??? Or am I at a lost???
[General Questions and Answers] chumboy:
Hello,

I wanted to get some suggestions on how i can save battery power on my Xyboard 10.1" Verizon LTE tablet mounted on the dash of my car.

Running Android 4.0.4.

It's power is USB hardwired to a 3v plug (done professionally by local shop) that only gets power when i turn my car on.

I'm using Tasker to launch tasks based on it's power state.

USB power off:

- mobile data off

- wifi off

- bluetooth off

- kill app Sirius

- kipp app Poweramp

- go home

- screen off

USB power on:

- wait 1 second

- mobile data on

- wifi on

- bluetooth on

- toggle bluetooth

- toggle bluetooth (to make sure it connects to bluetooth audio receiver attached to car's stereo headunit)

- launch app Sirius

Is there a "super sleep" mode that i can launch from tasker that will shut everything down except for a trickle of the Android OS listening for a wakeup command?

I noticed under Tasker's display actions these 2 options:

- Lock

- System Lock

does anyone know what they do? Will activating these conserve battery power?

I'm basically asking how to put my tablet into the deepest sleep possible, while still allowing it to wakeup with USB charging power on.

many thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Spending such a high percentage of time at 100% battery charge is actually bad for the battery. So, whether or not you run on battery power, you will inevitably notice a decrease in battery life over time.

If you're not going to use your car for an extended period of time, you could power the tablet off, but you probably already knew that.

Do you leave the tablet mounted in the car at all times, or do you take it with you like a cell phone?

(Sorry, I do not know the answers to your questions about Tasker.)
[General Questions and Answers] chumboy:
Interesting point about keeping battery at 100%...makes sense.

i leave the tablet in the car always...the mounting bracket has a keyed lock.

however, even after i turn off data,wifi,gps,etc, i still loose 10% battery over a 12hr period. that's very acceptable.

Do you know of an app that puts the phone/tablet into deep sleep (instead of me using tasker to turn all off)?
[General Questions and Answers] onexuan:

[General Questions and Answers] chumboy:

[General Questions and Answers] treyguad:
Okay so I stupidly rooted my EVO LTE without first creating a backup to restore to. Is there anyway to completely unroot and go back to the original sense ROM? I am really stressing out about this and need help. I don't care about having my apps or anything when I'm done, I just want to generally have it back to the way it was out of the box...

As promised here I proudly presents Xperia NXT Theme system for all the sony stock firmwares & stock based roms :cool:

Now its not just for Xperia Ice Cream Pureness roms ;)

What is Xperia NXT Theme system ?

Well do you remember when Xperia 2012 NXT phones got released you were amazed by all the colorful text,images that changes color per selected theme and then you were so envy about it :p yeah now that is available for the almost forgotten 2011 xperia lineup :cool:

So how to use this new theme system ?

Well all the hard work part is done for you,flash each zip when you want to change the theme and boot and voila theme is changed

Clockword mod recovery installed

Little tiny bit of brain :silly:

F.A.Q

Q.Hey it doesn't change colors in navigation buttons like in the screenshots ?

A.Well the reason is since each use different systemui mods I didn't included any systemui.apk in the packages.The icons for navigation buttons are taken from icons in systemui.Right now if you want this badly use Pureness rom,soon I will post separate colored navigation icons

Q.Hey its still the same ICS background in apps like root explorer,walkman.why is that ?

A.Again the reason is since each use different framework mods I didn't included anyframework-res.apk in the packages.The background is taken from framework-res.apk.Right now if you want this badly use Pureness rom,soon I will post separate colored backgrounds

Q.What is CWM ?

A.Read stickied threads in dev sections

Instructions

Choose the theme you want,download it

Flash the zip via cwm
