Officially, I don't think it is working yet, but I did see this in the developer thread, I don't know if it accomplishes anything.

Bluetooth

Try this: /system/bin/brcm_patchram_plus --bd_addr `cat /etc/bluetooth/bt_addr` --enable_hci --enable_lpm --no2bytes --tosleep 50000 --baudrate 4000000 --use_baudrate_for_download --patchram /lib/firmware/bcm4334.hcd --i2s=1,0,0,0 /dev/ttySAC0&

EDIT: Actually, have you considered using a bluetooth USB dongle? If bluetooth is so important to you, that might be something to get you by in the mean time... (I do totally recommend the Infinity over the tf101, btw)
[Asus Transformer TF700] TitanUranus:
I installed CROMI 3.4.7 and Hundsbuah's 2.2 kernel on the 9.4.5.30 bootloader. It seems to work fine (and fixes the black line issue). I'll try installing ubuntu when I get some free time (and get rid of this damn headache I have) and report back if it works too.

I "downgraded" by using NVFlash since I found JB 4.2.2 was too buggy (still black line and broken bluetooth). I didn't expect that CROMI 3.4.7 would work as it says you need a 10.x.xx bootloader, but it runs just fine (so far only tested with Hundsbuah's 2.2 kernel). If you ask me, it's worth downgrading if you have your TF700 backed up with NVFlash. I really hope I can dual boot linux with it, that would be perfect. Since the dualboot loader is based on Hundsbuah's kernel I have high hopes.

SDL(mixer) _ ANYONE?

Hello,

Has anyone else tried installing SDL on linux yet? I have currently been running through some of the SDL tutorials written by LazyFoo at

Base SDL works fine, however when I try to install the sdl extension sdlmixer, I get an error:

The following packeges have unmet dependencies:

libsdl-mixer1.2-dev : Depends: libmad0-dev (>= 0.15.1b) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

ANY SUGGESTIOSN???w
[Asus Transformer TF700] yoda-sama:
I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I do wonder if I'd get the same results with a newer CROMI like 3.4.7? I was only considering 3.2.1 because it was mentioned as working earlier, but without any reason given for why that would be used over any other CROMI version for dual booting with 0.8.3 on, presumably, a JB 4.2 bootloader...
[Asus Transformer TF700] FreeRangers:
I tried following the instructions, but when I get to screen where I choose what os to boot into I choose android and it just hangs at that screen. I tried with installing both the CleanRom/stock kernel (with stock android OS) and the Cyogenmod 10.x kernel (once I loaded the cyogenmod 10.1 ROM). Linux boots fine however. Any suggestions?
[Asus Transformer TF700] florck:
I expect the issues comes from android 4.2.2, probably mount points. What Cyano 10.1 did you try ? Before april ?

Someone to confirm that expectation? Because I have exactly the same behavior, but with CM10.1, and noone found any idea to correct this.
[Asus Transformer TF700] FreeRangers:
I'm using cyogenmod 10.1.0 RC5 The date on it is June 7, 2013. so It's a pretty new build, but it is listed as mostly stable and suitable for daily use.

Hey guys Ive been running this dual boot for about a week now. It has been running great but now my android is very unstable and will crash with anything that requires more processing power then play music (IE, games, Chrome, etc.) Should I uninstall everything and reinstall android again?

EDIT: Ive been playing around with the installs of android and linux and have found out that for some reason no matter what, when I dual boot my android distro (CROMI) It is extremely unstable and will always crash. But If I reinstall my backup and boot img CROMI runs great. Does anyone else have this problem? Also the linux portion runs great, but I NEED my android, otherwise I wouldve bought a HP evny x2
[Asus Transformer TF700] yoda-sama:
Which CROMI version are you using and what bootloader are you on?
[Asus Transformer TF700] treahuggs:
3.4.7 ODEX and does the boot loader matter since the linux does its own bootloader?

I honestly couldnt tell you what bootloader I have on here, rooting and rom'ing a transformer is a good bit different then my other devices (I have a Droid DNA, unlocked, rooted, romed, S-OFF) but then I get to the transformer and I get confused lol. The guides confuse me, I am use to seeing a boot.img and recovery.img and I would just flash with ADB or use Aroma installer etc.

My recovery is Teanwin 2.5.0. Android 4.1.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa66:
Hey, kind of a noob here.

I'm currently using CWM Recovery, CM 10.1 final (released today) with Bryce custom kernel.

If I follow the instructions in the original post, will I get a CM 10.1 + Ubuntu multiboot?

Do I need to change my kernel in order for it to work? Will it just replace my kernel? If I need to change it, which one should I use (and is there a compatible overclocked kernel)?

No need to clear Dalvik or something during the installation process in my situation?

Thanks!

Edit : From the OP, I think I understand that it will replace my kernel.

However, I also seem to understand that the bootloader included with my CM10.1 isn't supported yet. Am I right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] yoda-sama:
As far as I can tell, yes, I think there's an issue with the current bootloader and current ROMs with this project. Something I'm wanting to try when I get time, and nerve to flash, is to try to install an older ROM like a 3.x version of CROMI (which was built against a pre JB 4.2 TF300T ROM, or some such), and sounds like it might work for dual booting with 0.8.3 despite the bootloader... I think there's a feature of the new JB 4.2 that allows for multiple users, which at the least added another level of depth to some folders, which seems to be one issue (unless I misread some posts). The bigger issue that I gather is the kernel that 0.8.3 installs is apparently incompatible with JB 4.2 ROMs... All of this is conjecture based on the comments I've seen, but it is something to go on.

One such hopeful post was from Hallevison who was at first trying to get this working with CROMI 4.4 (which must mean he was on the new bootloader):
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa66:
Thanks for your answer!

Do you think I should wait for a new version supporting my bootloader or should I just try to revert back to a compatible version?

In other words, is this multiboot still in active development?
[Asus Transformer TF700] yoda-sama:
Rabits, the developer, said that his interest is waning, but that he intends to get another version out to support 4.2 and Ubuntu 13.04, etc, which he mentioned maybe taking him through July to complete. On the other hand, it also sounded like he was having some problems with his hardware, so I don't know what that means for active development. Overall, I'd say it would be best to see what you can get to work now, and if Rabits comes back with an update, consider an upgrade at that time.

Also, I don't mean that you should necessarily downgrade your bootloader (if that's what you meant), my thought is to go with an older ROM that would be friendlier to the kernel supplied by 0.8.3. But if you end up successfully downgrading your bootloader, write back with how easy it was (my battery life in sleep with the keyboard connected has been TERRIBLE ever since the OTA upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2, which I performed before I unlocked. So, I almost wouldn't mind reverting everything to JB 4.1).
[Asus Transformer TF700] chrisaw:
Any update on when an updated kernel will be added to this build so we can finally rock the 10.1 CyanogenMod stable build? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] treahuggs:
anyone have any ideas on how i can get my android to not crash when im dual booting? my info is on the previous page.
[Asus Transformer TF700] yoda-sama:
I'm no expert and this advise is based off of basically nothing solid, but I wonder if CROMI 3.4.7 is disagreeing with the kernel that comes with 0.8.3 (which I think acts as the kernel for both OS's). Have you perhaps tried an older CROMI; I've heard, for instance, that 3.2.1 has worked for this (and that was, apparently, from someone on the upgraded bootloader, which is a problem you don't have). Let me know if that does any good, it would be VERY interesting if so.
[Asus Transformer TF700] treahuggs:
Tried that too and that didnt work. I think the problem is "performance mode" everytime I turn that on I will crash with almost any process, with different CROMI roms.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaysondasher:
I don't have the transformer infinity but if you could plug a phone in and take control through adb and fast boot with this installation of Linux I would absolutely consider buying it. Can anyone confirm that for me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] treahuggs:
Using your phone is doubtful but why would you need this? You dont have to use adb for anything with the infinity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
AFAIK you can even do that from Android (someone compiled adb and fastboot for it), most likely from any rooted device that can physically connect to your phone via USB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaysondasher:
I'll have to look into that. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] bsammon:
I'd like to install this, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with what I have.

I have:

USB Keyboard and mouse (and the usb adaptor for the TF700)

micro-SD card with a few GB free

a few GB free on internal storage

stock 9.4.5.26 firmware

rooted

androidroot.mobi bootloader (not locked)

nvflash keys

15 years experience with Linux

6 months experience with Android

I don't have

dock

3rd-party recovery

In the requirements section of the first post it says I need "Access to recovery and zip upgrade"

I assume this means I need to install a 3rd-party recovery. Is that

all it means? Does installing a recovery provide zip upgrade

capabilities? Which recovery is the best choice for someone who's

going to install Ubuntu?

Other questions:

Which bootloaders is this compatible with? Will it work with my

androidroot bootloader?

Which android roms is this compatible with? Will it work with my

stock rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bsammon:
Also, I imagine that some of the combinations of firmware/kernel/rom/installer have not been tested.

Having nvflash keys puts me in a good position to be the first to test a particular combination -- if it's worth trying.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
What is now needed is a new 4.2 dual-boot kernel. I would spend time time if I knew where to start. I tried compiling one and it won't boot to either linux or android...

Upon further testing it is the linux kernal that will mess my performance mode up. Which is strange, cause I can oc it with other apps without a problem so I guess it is a GPU problem. Am I the only one that has ever had this issue?

Hi i heave tf300t with 4.2 boot loader. I use blob from Linux-install-0.8.0 .... And make link from /data/media/0/linux/rootfs.img to /data/media/linux/rootfs.img. I can boot to Ubuntu only. In the android 4.2.2 - "multiuser" then internal memory mounted on /data/media/0/

[Asus Transformer TF700] bsammon:
Okay, I crossed my fingers and installed this.

Here's the results:

The kernel 0.8.3 installs is compatible with the androidroot bootloader (based on the 9.4.5.30 bootloader, I think). It booted successfully into Ubuntu.

The kernel 0.8.3 installs is not, it appears, compatible with a stock 9.4.5.26 ROM. I can't boot android any more. When I try to, I get an eternal spinning loop boot animation.

My first attempt at installing this, I selected "don't link the android /data partition as /home". When Ubuntu booted, X wouldn't start, and I was left at the command prompt. Wild-ass guess: the home-directories were not set up properly. I re-did the install with "link the android /data partition as /home" and X started fine.

I could not use my USB keyboard, as the USB-host adapter I ordered has not arrived yet -- it's due tomorrow. Discovery: using ubuntu (non-touch) on TF700 without a physical keyboard (neither dock nor USB) is pretty rough -- it's pretty easy to accidentally close the on-screen keyboard, and kinda hard to figure out how to restart it after you do. And when I logged out, I got dumped at the command-line (with no on-screen keyboard) instead of back at the graphical login.

Next step: see how this works with the USB keyboard/mouse and install/remove/configure packages.

Later (maybe no hurry): get android working again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] yoda-sama:
I believe you should have TWRP 2.5 custom recovery installed, and I don't think the dual boot works with the ASUS stock image, but with something like CROMI 3.x (which is based off of the stock image). I'd say to flash a version of CROMI that seems friendly to your bootloader and try again.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

So, dual boot is working for you just as well with 3.4.7 as with 3.2.1, and it is "performance mode" under Android that seems to trigger your crashes? So, in theory one could dual boot with Ubuntu and 3.x CROMI so long as Android isn't set above a mixed performance mode?

When a required file is missing, my usual approach is to search http://packages.ubuntu.com/ or http://packages.debian.org/ to find out which package contains that file, and then install/reinstall that package.
[Asus Transformer TF700] treahuggs:
That seems to be the case with my infinity at least. And whenever I have just the CROMI installed I can use preformance mode with no crashing. I can also install parnoiddroid without problem. So I think the problem stems from the kernel with the linux install.

Aroma installer stuck at 90%

Hi all,

recently got a tranformer infinity and loving this thing! Found this thread and was determined to get dualboot ubuntu on this wonderful tablet :) I am running into problems however and was hoping someone could shed some light.

Here is my setup and steps I took:

tf700 with an unlocked bootloader, currently running CROMI - 3.4.7-10.4.4.25

-- I downloaded the bootimage (linux-install-0.8.3.zip) as well as the ubuntu image ( rootfs-ubuntu-12.10-0.8.0.tar.lzma), placed them on the root of my micro sd card

-- booted into custom recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0), install (linux-install-0.8.3.zip) next, next , next - I selected first option(Android CleanRom- for stock and cleanrom) for initrd configuration.

For boot default, I left Linux selected, I selected sdcard/linux/rootfs.img 'HYNIX MMC' ( Virtual disk image file in userspace /dev/mmcblk0p8 for place installer will prepare linux root file system.

-- left option "Use /dev/mmcblk0p8 as /home " selected, and unchecked "Don't replace virtual disk image", select 10gb for drive space - select next:

-- " Found one rootfs archive 'rootfs-ubuntu-12.10-0.8.0.tar.lzma' (687) on mmcblk1p1 storage. It will be used to installing Linux root file system"

-- select OK

-- select install now

-- progress bar moves and appears to install, however at exactly 90% it stops and nothing happens. I let it sit for about 10 minutes beyond that and nothing appears to happen, still stuck at 90%

-- I power off tablet and reboot and it boots to bootscreen with 4 penguins. Selecting boot to linux says found linux image starting and nothing else. If I reboot and select boot to android, it boots into android fine.

I'm stumped, and have tried this numerous times without success. I really want this to work! any help or suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks in advance to all!

treahuggs,

thank you for this insight! I was waiting no more than 15 minutes after it reached 90% thinking something went wrong.

hey guys, ive just recently brought a tf700 and immedatly put ubuntu on it. I really cant handle the dpi, i can hardly see the tabs of chromium lol. Is there anyway to change it? ive tried a few things suggested in the forum but nothing worked. The strange thing is on my tf300t with this rootfs is completely normal, and when i use the kernel from 0.8.1 the dpi problem is the opersite, where everything is too big.

also has anyone got plugins for chromium working? they dont seem to have the permissions to run and im not sure what permissions id need to change to get them working

if anyone wants flash have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40813881&postcount=129 it works perfectly for normal resolution videos on youtube etc, struggles a bit with hd but its the best flash alternative ive found yet. I havnt been able to try it on the tf700 yet for the above issue

and chrometouch from the chrome app store gives android like scrolling to chrome which works very well.

need some instruction

I wanted to start fresh but clearly I didn't think things through before I took nearly everything off my tablet.

What I'm left with is the rabit multi boot and twrp 2.3.3.0.

I've been wanting to do a complete wipe for a while now as I've built up a lot of junk from flashing different roms and what not so I took the dive and formatted through twrp.

I'm having an issue with twrp as it won't mount my sd or micro sd so that's out of the question

I'm guessing I have to go in through adb and the power + volume down usb connection way but I have no idea what I'm doing

I do want multiboot linux and android

Could someone be kind enough to give me some instruction?

[Asus Transformer TF700] goldyren:
Hi Christoph,

I was able to get Ubuntu running, however in dual boot with 4.1.2, android kept rebooting on it's own randomly and I couldn't get it figured out. I did complete fresh installs and tried a few different kernels but kept getting random reboots. I think it's awesome to have linux on this little machine. Ubuntu itself worked fairly well, however it was a bit laggy for me. It still is impressive to see it running on the tablet. I am waiting for the ability to run dual boot with 4.2.1 ( this appears to still be an issue with the 4.2.1 kernel) to test it out more.
