[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:
I gave it a go :) First of all, Tubuntu flashes .\images\linux.img when choosing to flash "2.6x x3maniac kernel", I assume it should flash .\images\xlinux.img

That's not a big issue, but should be fixed ;)

A quick list of things I noticed.

1. Things that work:

-1.2 GHz OC

-Usb mouse (when plugged before system boots, otherwise not - that's due to 3.1.10 kernel, I guess)

-cifs module

-chromium

-terminal (right clicking on your tf101linux gadget -> Shortcuts -> Terminal)

-screen brightness up/down buttons. You just have to be mindful to avoid turning the screen off this way - it won't turn on afterwards and you'll have to force reboot.

-ntfs read/write

2. Things that don't work:

-touchpad

-XF86poweroff button

-System Tools -> XTerm/UXTerm

-sound: Audacious complains "ALSA error. No suitable mixer element found. snd_mixer_find_selem failed". Gnome MPlayer just won't produce any sound, and youtube html5 videos too.

-plugging in an external usb drive. It's totally ignored. A pen drive doesn't even blink, nor the drive appears in /dev it works now. It didn't during initial launch. Don't know why, but a reboot cured this.

Also, it happens quite often that system freezes for no apparent reason and only force reboot helps. It happened twice with me already, although it's been less then an hour since I flashed lubuntu.

Tell me if you need some additional info :)

i love your report! keep up the good work. this helps me narrow down the problems but without a dock i can't fix some of the issues. but try this

touchpad:

edit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf

Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection

should fix the touchpad issue.

i will look into fixing my script for the brightness issue. located int /usr/local/bin/tfbright

what were you doing when you freeze? i don't have a dock(still waiting for it in the mail) so i don't know if it's related to that.

i've been looking at nvidia git and downloaded there source for the linux4tegra kernel. it' compiled fine but wont boot. don't know why yet
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlenoir:
x3maniac, I know it is off topic a bit but I just wanted to mention that I appreciate your attitude towards your work and especially criticism (aka feedback) from others about your work. Reminds me of my EVO 4G days running tommytomato's classic rom. His threads were always friendly and optimistic, much like your own.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:
Strange, but there's no /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I tried creating it with `Xorg :1 -configure`, but I get "No devices to configure. Configuration failed."

I also tried creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following content

Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection

but touchpad wont' work.

Like I said, there appears to be no apparent reason for those freezes :( The only things they had in common are the following:

(as far as I can remember)

-I had a cifs share mounted

-pen drive was plugged in

-chromium was opened

I understand that isn't helpful at all, but atm I can't reproduce those freezes myself. They occur kind of randomly.

I hope linux4tegra kernel does boot after all :)

Thank you for your work

EDIT: 30 minutes without freezes, I hope they're gone for good! :laugh:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:

as far as i see it, you guys are helping me get a working version. user/tester are as important as the devs making them. or else dev's would be out of the job. lols that's how i see it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:
I let lubuntu running and it froze smth like 20 minutes ago :( Without me doing anything. Chromium was running, pen drive plugged in and a cifs share mounted.

I'll leave it running without a pen drive plugged in, shares mounted and chromium running to see if it freezes eventually.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3maniac:
i'm guessing jhanti's kernel is not stable. i was starting to use it more and got a random freeze. cpu1 went to sleep and wont wake up. looking into that.. i might just take nvidia's kernel 3.1.10 and try to get that working.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:
Maybe that has something to do with OC? I have been using jhanti's kernel without OC a lot and it never froze.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3maniac:
very possible. i asked raymanfx for advice before i did the oc. so it should be right. but then again. it's not android so maybe the os don't agree with oc very well. i don't know yet gonna take a look at nvidia l4t kernel
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3maniac:
i think i found why it was crashing. i forgot to update the initrd with the new modules causing it to be unstable. trying to fix that now
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:
Cool, hope you get your laptop fixed soon! :)

But doesn't initrd matter on boot only? I remember messing with my old nas WD MyBook World Edition, uboot booted kernel without any initrd :)

Ah, I get. There're some boot errors. That may be it. I hope it is :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danr238:
I know you're busy x3maniac trying to get your laptop and what not in working order, but does anyone have a cut and dry method of dual booting this and android on SBK1 devices? Should we follow the generalized procedures from the dev thread and substitute Franck's tools instead of x3maniac's flasher? Any help would be appreciated. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3maniac:
yes. you can follow my thread and use franks tool instead. the difference between mine and his tool is i had to enforce wheelie.exe to get our sbk2 devices to have a nvflash method as for sbk1 devices they are already built in. if you have franks tool. just use my files/images and it should be fine.(i have never tested so I can't guarantee anything for sbk1, but i am working on developing sbk1 dual boot as per request on my other thread).

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

we are acutally not using uboot. there is a method for it but only applies if we are going to flash our devices with Ubuntu only.

the initrd is zipped into the kernel image using abootimg tool. it contains all the modules needed on beoot similar to what you will find in your /lib/module folder in any Linux OS. i was building kernels so much i forgot to update the initrd image inside our kernel images.

if you are interested in compiling different kernels for my our lubuntu image. whatever little knowledge i know i can share. seriously i only started getting into compiling maybe 3 weeks ago? so i'm no pro but i'm having lots of fun building / modifying kernels and see it work. so far i have determined that 3.1.10 from jhinta is a good 3.1.10 kernel but it's missing too many thing to make me like it. touchpad is sketchy, sound works only sometimes. hot plugging does not work(really down fall for me). but opengl is supported. lilstevies 2.6.36 is very stable hotplugging work touch pad works, and doesn't freeze or have much kernel complains, but is missing opengl and sound. chromium kernel 2.6.38 is what i'm trying to build now but don't have much info on it. seem to have everything supported but sound is sketchy. i havn't had much t ime on 2.6.38. laptop broke compiling that. my tab boots but complains it's missing mmcblk0p8, without keyboard i can't be sure why.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:
I basically know that, forget about uboot for now :) I mentioned uboot to say that initrd should matter at boot time only . I guess I was wrong, e.g., in case smth isn't mount at boot due to missing modules, you might get errors later on.

Compiling kernels isn't an issue, as long as you don't get build errors :) I have some experience with compiling and cross-compiling, though it's been a while since I've been actively messing with such stuff. Actually, cross-compiling a kernel isn't really different from compiling it natively, as long as you have the toolchain. It's tons harder to cross-compile user binaries: you have to create staging environment, make sure host libs aren't leaked - there're lots and lots of stuff that can go wrong. Furthermore, tf101 is snappy enough to compile the kernel natively :)

The other thing is modifying kernel source, I have never been doing that beyond small fixes to get it compiled and I don't even know how to go about doing that in theory. I can learn, especially given some guidance, but atm I can't be of much help in fixing sound, oc, etc.. (btw, touchpad and sound work perfectly fine with jhinta's kernel: I had kubuntu 12.04 + his 3.1.10 kernel installed with netinstall v6.0 and it was OK; either there's smth wrong with lubuntu configs, or oc broke smth; also, hot plugging a usb drive works fine with the kernel you've built - hot plugging a mouse doesn't)

I'm really interested in a howto on creating a flashable "kernel.img". I read about it here, but I get "not in gzip format error" when I try to run

gzip -dc ../initrd.img | cpio -i

I have been googling on (un)packing initrd images, but I found it indeed should be in gzip+cpio format, so the command should work fine, yet it doesn't :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3maniac:
i made that mistake too.. you have to rename img to gz. lolss seriouslly i was fustrated with that error and i found. just rename and your all set
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serkenar:
Thanks, it works! :)

Another question. Trying to add the missing modules to the initrd. Adding /lib/modules/3.1.10-g90a44cc-dirty to the initrd make the image too big: abootimg complains about it. What should I do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3maniac:
have to use lzma for compression. can't use gzip to compress it no more. did you recompile the kernel? or your using the same zImage?

edit: give me a few mins i'll upload a new kernel.(packed up) and a zimage for you so you can play around with the initrd. i just have to ssh into my broken laptop and pull files out.

I have been reading up on all the new tablets and have narrowed it down to Samsung i believe.

So what i wanted to do is get you guys opinion on which one i should get.......

1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

2) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

3) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0"

4) Google Nexus 10

5) Google Nexus 7
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
you should first ask yourself, which screen size tablet?

10 inch-

2) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

3) Google Nexus 10

7 inch-

1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0"

2) Google Nexus 7

after that. ask yourself, keep TouchWiz? if so-

1) Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

2) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

3) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0"

or ask yourself, stock/vanilla Android? if so-

1) Google Nexus 10

2) Google Nexus 7

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dhalker:
Here we go..... yes i understand this is the galaxy S3 forum....... but this is the general section of the forum.

Let me "re-phrase" my question so that people dont TROLL.

I have a GALAXY S3 and would like to know which of the samsung tablets out on the market work best along side it. Does anyone with a GALAXY S3 have a preference to what tablet they use?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
i own a Galaxy S3, and a Nexus 7.

but as you can see in my signature, i'm running CM10 on both. thus i like having the stock Android experience.

back to my original reply. if you like TouchWiz that much. get a Samsung one. if you want a stylus, get the Note 10.1. what screen size do you want? what will you be doing with your tablet?

i mainly use my tablet for reading, so i wanted the 7". i used to have an iPad and a Transformer. both were too large.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dhalker:
I am really looking for a tablet so I dont have to pull out the laptop every time i want to check my email (personal an work) or look at facebook.

I have a nook color on MIUI but i am lookig to upgrade to more of an all in one deal........ email, web, games, spreadsheets
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bagbug:
none of the above. And btw, those 3 Samsung are terrible. Just go in any Best Buy and try them, they are ALL sluggish.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Thank Me Later:
My friend is getting a T-Mobile S3 soon. He asked me this question and I told him I highly doubt it's compatible but I'm not 100% sure.

His question was when or if T-Mobile rolls out LTE, will the GS3 (HSPA+) be able to run LTE? He said he thought a software update could possibly make it work?

Isn't this more of a hardware thing than a simple software change?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mab981:
T-Mobile (UK) are offering an LTE compatible version as well as the original GS3 - they are different models and the standard GS3 does not have the necessary internal hardware to support 4G when it is rolled out.

Hi, sure I have seen somewhere (may have been a GB ICS mod) the standard Android messaging icon but in same blue as the dialer icon.

Just think it looks really good - anyone got one ? or can make one ? Have searched but no joy - not sure on correct terminology, or if it is 'official' in any Android version.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Its says in the OP LT28H with unlocked bootloader only. If you phone is caught in the splash loop you need to hold power and volume up just long enough for it to shut off. Once it shuts off try connecting to your computer in flash mode and flash your ftf with a full wipe.

This will not work on locked boot as it is dependent on kernal changes and it cant be changed on a locked loader.

Kernel problems with LT28h

First of all thanks for your work!

It seems that there is a problem with the kernel included in this rom. I have a LT28h device and after flashing just the kernel I got very short bootloops, no splash, no cwm. Fortunatelly Fastboot and Flash mode work ok so we can recover easily.

I can tell you that FXP CM9 and CM10 kernels work on my device, so I do not know what the problem is. Some hints for fixing this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

PS. Latest official flashed was: ICS 6.1.E.2.68 so I think the baseband is from that version. Could this be the problem? Should I install ICS 6.1.E.3.7 and then try your rom?

I also used an lt28h and seem to have lost my phone. Been trying for over 24hrs to recover using every method posted in the recovery thread. First phone I have not been able to recover. I guess I will still try but seems I will need a knew phone. Has anyone been successfully recovered from "bricked" phone using from trying to use this rom? There was one point in which i was able to get the computer to see a semc flash device but no programs I used could recognize the device. Right now it will either stay in with screen off and red light while plugged in to wall or pc or it will get power to the screen and just kinda cycel power on and power off. Holding up or down has no effect power button has no effect. It has been plugged into the wall for over 24 hrs and battery was over 50% while trying to flash this rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eritch.et:
That's weird..i never had any problem flashing this one before.did you try to flash the boot.img with this rom? or maybe you tried to flash it with a wrong kernel. I've encountered one like this before as well where my phone wouldnt even respond but i did manage to revert it back to life. Try flashing the ftf file for the ion either the stock or generic firmware by following the proper procedure on how to flash it. Check wipe data,cache,apps log and with the final verifiaction uncheck.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mine420:
Wont go into any type of flashmode or fastboot as of now there is no way to flash it. No I did every thing in the instructions and seemed to flash fine then stuck in boot loop before the sony picture even shows up. Never had a phone so hard to enter recovery mode.

Edit:

After the battery would drain completely I would be able to plug in to the pc and then hold the volume up button for about 5 minutes till it charged enough to try to boot then it would enter fast boot but would only allow me to flash kernels so I flashed stock kernel in which that would allow me to enter flashmode and then I could flash the whole stock rom package. So phone finely recovered,

I tried to flash AKOP again and soft bricked it again. I guess my phone hates akop. Hopefully this time it is easier to recover.Well phone came back to life I guess I will try cm10 for now. Must be kernel issue with my phone.
