[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gophix:
I got a half working root_chooser. :D It starts android but not linux. :confused:

Here is what I did to modify the boot-loader with Clemsyn kernel and the modified init from tux_mind:

At first I read the LNX patition from the TF201 (unlocked, nvflash-able/wheelie, rooted):

Boot into APX-mode:

$ sudo bin/wheelie -r --blob bin/blob.bin
$ sudo bin/nvflash -r --read 6 blobNv.LNX
$ sudo bin/nvflash -r --go

Unpack the blob:

$ abootimg -x blobNv.LNX

You will get bootimg.cfg, initrd.img and zImage.

Now unpack the initial ramdisk:

$ mkdir ramdisk
$ cd ramdisk
$ gzip -dc ../initrd.img | cpio -i

Clone tux_minds data and copy your extracted custom rom ramdisk to newroot:

$ cd ..
$ git clone https://github.com/tux-mind/tf201-dev.git
$ rm -r tf201-dev/initramfs/newroot/*
$ cp -r ramdisk/* tf201-dev/initramfs/newroot/
[I][SIZE="2"]#edit 22 feb 2013[/SIZE][/I]
$ cd tf201-dev/initramfs
$ mkdir data && mkdir dev && mkdir sys
$ cd ../../..
[I][SIZE="2"]#edit end[/SIZE][/I]

OPTIONAL start compile root_chooser/init via crosscompile

Change the compiler in Makefile. I use Ubuntu with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (maybe it would be better to use arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc) from the repo for crosscompiling:

Edit Makefile in tf201-dev/root_chooser:

#--Head-------------------- snip
CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
LD=arm-linux-gnueabi-ld
#CC=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc
#LD=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ld
#-------------------------- snap

Now compile and copy it to the initramfs:

$ make v2
$ cp root_chooser ../initramfs/init

OPTIONAL end

Now pack the initrd, make a blob and flash it to the TP

$ cd tf201-dev/initramfs
$ find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../../myinitrd
$ cd ../..
$ gzip myinitrd
$ chmod 777 myinitrd.gz
$ abootimg --create testNv.LNX -k zImage -r myinitrd.gz
$ bin/blobpackTF201 testFb.blob LNX testNv.LNX

Start into fastbootmode:

$ fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot testFb.blob
$ fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot

Start into andorid open Terminal Emulator and type:

$ su
# vi /data/.boot
/dev/mmcblk1p1:/:/sbin/init
[esc] :wq

I followed this guide to set up my sdCard. That's it. Insert sdCard, reboot.

Android starts but not Linux from the sdCard. I got the following message back in android:

[I][B]FIXED[/B][SIZE="2"] see edit 22 feb 2013[/SIZE][/I]
[COLOR="Silver"]$ cat /boot_chooser.log
unable to mount /sys - No such file or directory[/COLOR]

New error message (inserted sdCard occurs boot-loops, remove sdCard to start android):

$ cat /boot_chooser.log
unable to mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 on /newroot - No such file or directory

I'm feeling so close to fire up Linux on my Transformer. Who can give me hint?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gophix:
got it :D:D yeah! linux and android starting up! BUT VERY INSTABILE !!!

I had to use another sdCard and recompiled the kernel with some flags activated:

My hama 16GB class 10 doesn't seem to work well with the TP. I copied some data to the sdcard in android, there the I/O stream had several stops while copying data. Some forum members reported I/O errors in the system log (dmesg). I didn't have that errors but a variing throughput while copyint to sdCard.

The kernel I prepared this way:

downloading Clemsyn-kernel source:
$ wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjqd2b1edn6fiwu/tfcombofinal.zip
$ unzip tfcombofinal.zip

Get the actual kernel .config form the TP via adb and compile the kernel (I didn't patch, because I got error while compiling the kernel). I diffed my config to tux_minds and aktivated some flags.

$ adb pull /proc/config.gz
$ gzip -d config.gz
$ cp config tfcombofinal/.config
$ cd tfcombofinal
// patching should be like this:
// $ wget https://github.com/tux-mind/tf201-dev/raw/master/v2/kernel/JB15.patch
// $ patch -p1 < ../JB15.patch(v1/v2?) !!! do not patch !!!
$ make menuconfig
$ make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

I didn't compile the modules.

After that I packed my kernel from tfcombo/arch/arm/boot/zImage into the blob ($ abootimg --create testNv.LNX -k zImage -r myinitrd.gz)

VERY INSTABILE !!! means: the linux starting kernel was compiled with hardfloat (arm-linux-gnueabihf-).Linux starts up and responds "a littel bit"; android starts up; work 5 mins and reboots.

So both are working the developer way ;)

I will test an own armSF kernel next time (the way described in this post, up to now I run instable on armHF) and report if this makes android stable and additionally starts up linux.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gophix:
The dual-boot works fine.

Look at lifeinarootshell.

The actual version root_chooser v6 starts linux (from SDcard, microSDcard, USB, loop-device, internal folder) and android with different kernels

It has a cofigurable bootloader via kexec.

Linux distributions (gentoo, ubuntu, arch linux, ...) are also available and are growing more and more in stability and performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bobbaluba:
Getting xorg to work on archlinux is somewhat messy at the moment. The tegra3 driver is built for an old xorg-server, and is not compatible with the new one in the archlinux repositories. I was able to make it work by recompiling xorg-server, though. I guess it would be easier if someone made an aur package with the old xorg-server.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tux-friend:
Thank you very much gophix for your nice guide in the second post :fingers-crossed:

However, since the first attempts to get linux based distributions working on the TF201 like ubuntu or arch linux, there was not much progress anymore :( I feel this is somehow pitty due to the fact that the Prime is still a good and reasonable tablet. And it could be much more if there would be not these horrible restrictions set by Asus like encrypted bootloader.

But I don't want to criticise mainly in my post. Instead, I would like to promote a constructive discussion so that the TF201 receives new life :)

How about creating a new ubuntu image based on 14.04 since it receives long term support? Unfortunately, my knowledge is still rather limitted so far to do this by myself.

And what is your opinion, to go alternatively another way by using the xubuntu installation (13.04) developed for the TF300tg as shown here:

As far as I know, both devices are quite similar. Or are there any good arguments to deny this idea? :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aminbandali:
Hi!

I got a galaxy nexus with a 2 year contract from WIND Mobile (in Canada) but since it's yakjuux, I haven't received any updates recently, so I was thinking of converting yakjuux to yakju. I know I have to flash a new ROM, but I have a few questions.

Is it legal to convert yakjuux to yakju? because my phone is not unlocked and I can only use it with WIND.

Is there a chance that this conversion causes any problems with the network functionality? My mobile network type is UMTS:3

Is there a way to backup the current ROM and restore it later?

I appreciate any help :)

[HTC Wildfire S] fits79:
Hi one of my friend it drops the wildfire s mobile with results the touch screen DON'T WORK AT ALL....

The only thing that work is the volume up & down and the power buttons nothing else.

The mobile it begin normally and the screen shows normally but it doesn't accept any command you try to give it from touch screen.

Is there any way to take all my contacts from that phone?

This is the only thing i want the contacts and nothing more then i take it to trash.

A LOT OF HELP FOR YOUR TIME AND ANSWERS.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
dont think so there is any method available for it.

you need to repaired that screen( go to service center)

or this might be silly but you just want to trash your phone after getting contact,

so you can root your phone(unlock bootloader from htcdev then flash cwm recovery)

then take backup of it.(cwm recovery dont required touch,it works with volume and power button)

then restore it on another wildfire s and there you can have access to your contacts.

(this is soo crazy for getting contacts but only way i can see so far)
[HTC Wildfire S] fits79:
Yes but HOW EXACTLY i root that phone using ONLY volume up&dowb & power?

Can you give me simply instructions?
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
Your contacts don't save to your Google account? When I switched phones they all carry over once I sync my gmail account...
[HTC Wildfire S] fits79:
I gues not because the phone it isn't mine and i don't want what my friend do with the gmail account.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
very simple..

remove battery then insert battery.

hold volume down+power button

then you can see hboot menu.now with volume button select fastboot(the first option)

then connect your phone with your computer.(you can see in ur phone,fastboot usb)

now,you need to unlock bootloader via htcdev.

then use fastboot to flash recovery..

and then you can use recovery and then you can take backup.

you dont need to add root permissions because you just want backup so you can take out contacts.
[HTC Wildfire S] fits79:
I do all that but the recovery menu appear and when I choose something it just the menu disappear and become purple and doesn't do anything at all
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
then i dont know.might problem with your screen.

and yeah if you have wildfire s 2012 model you need to use modded recovery.you can find it under guide 2012 thread in general section.

Yes, get Swype Beta (it's free and you don't even have to sign up for anything any more; I can't post a link because I'm too junior on these forums, sorry :rolleyes:). The functions aren't immediately obvious, but there's a Swype key and tracing from that key to certain letters works like Ctrl-<whatever> on a PC, eg:

* Swype => a: select all

* Swype => c: copy

* Swype => x: cut

To paste, long-press in an area you can type in (: Hope this helps.

You didn't flash the nAa-kernel but the Bootloader Relock kernel for the X10, your phone is probably bricked. If you can't get it into flash-mode anymore, it may need JTagging at a repair shop to get it back up working.

[HD2 Accessories] Virginia10:
Hi, I want to change my original HTC headphones from HD2 with better ones. I'm considering between AKG K 314p and AKG K 324p.

K 324p are more expensive for me but if they are much better than K 314p I will try to spend more money. I want to use them for pop and rock music and to be good for listening on a bus, plane, train, and etc.
[HD2 Accessories] keller112:
Cheap (Well, comparatively) akg headphones tend to break really fast. I've had the 319 and the 309, both lasted like 4 months. I'd suggest getting JVC HA-FX anything except HA-FX40 if you're looking for bassy phones and something like the vsonic VC02 if you want something that's more musical, which might actually be better for rock.

FAQ

What is GPU?

Graphical Processing Unit, a processor used to render graphic details, the ADRENO220 in our device

What does the mod do?

Its a tweak that will cease CPU rendering completely and allow your GPU to handle all graphic rendering.

How will it affect the system?

Originally CPU and GPU coexist to render graphic, by using GPU completely to render image, will smoothen spikes from graphical renders, as well as freeing your CPU to do other calculations, consumes slightly more battery, but for better good.

What is the difference of this MOD and the 213 or 218 adreno driver update?

This enables GPU rendering completely, those are adreno driver updates, its two completely different things, but can coexist.

Will this have any more updates?

Most likely no, but I might upload a version with seeder_v7 together in case people don't know what is seeders.

Installation

1. Boot into recovery.

2. Make a backup.

3. Install from SDCARD.

4. Enjoy.

5. Give a thanks, provide feedback(if any), promote this.

Why I made this?

I realized there's no such mods in the section, so I might as well do it.

To the predecessors who thought of this MOD.

R: [MOD] Enable Full GPU aka Hardware Rendering

Ok. You are right :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
I'm sorry if I'm ruining your party, but all this does is effect 1 line that has already been changed in a lot of ROMs. And if this is not the case in your ROM, I'm pretty sure Disabling HW Overlays under Developer Options has the same effect as this tweak.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
You think you can force GPU rendering on a game, which explicitly uses GPU rendering already?

Mmkay.
[HTC Sensation] msavic123:
Maybe it disables cpu rendering on parts of ui that still do not use gpu rendering...

i know on old hd2, there were parts that were not made to work with gpu rendering (that relied on qsd8k).

these things helped there.

this also disables 2 libs, so it might be a speedup after all.

i'm testing it now, but not really seeing any difference...
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
The sensation has an adreno 225. And this tweak has been out for a long time. In my opinion it's purely a placebo.
[HTC Sensation] Rajan_96:
It has a 220 not a 225. The S4's have the 225, our SoC is an S3.

Tried the mod, nothing noticeable, benchmarks are pretty much the same as they were before. Gaming doesn't feel different either.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Tell me why your stealing someone else works without crediting them
[HTC Sensation] papete:
What is the difference between using this mod and ticking "force GPU rendering" @ developer options??
[HTC Sensation] Sunny88:
+1
[HTC Sensation] KiD3991:
I'm not too sure about that though, but some ROM's don't have that right?

Its possible though.

Its 220. Yeah it is, but still it can be used, so why not?

Honestly, well, IMHO, ticking that force the GPU to render more, this disables CPU render completely.
[HTC Sensation] KiD3991:
Again, honestly, all I did was write the codes for our phone. Those available on the forum should be quite similar, if there is anyone in this section that posted this before I seriously wouldn't mind crediting. :)
[HTC Sensation] XxXPachaXxX:
This mod is not needed. It's a big error to change egl configuration. Adreno acceleration is Always enabled and the cm egl lib is needed for some apps to work, like chrome internet browser. This is a very old mod, and it was an error also.
[HTC Sensation] KiD3991:
I understand. It wasn't an error I think. But truth that your standpoint is much stronger because it wont be there if it shouldn't in the first place.
[HTC Sensation] noodles2k:
Don't be silly.

Are you sure its a good idea to disable libGLES?
[HTC Sensation] KiD3991:
It does not affect overall mechanisms. So its not really a risk.
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
This tweak came out first for Adreno 200, but it's been flashed on 220 and 225 with no issues.

I used to notice huge gains on my HTC Desire but not sure if will bring any benefits for us, don't even think benchmark will tell us anything.
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
OP, u can test it out very easy.. make a benchmark without this ''tweak'' and with with ''tweak'' and post screenshots in OP post.
[HTC Sensation] lavafire:
The person before already mentioned benchmarks are not reliable, in fact there are ways to "cheat" the results. I think the best way is to record playing on a game on the same ROM but with a video before flashing and another after flashing. If anyone could do that would be much appreciated :laugh:

[Dell Streak 7] wailer247:
Alright. I've got a stock dell streak 7 US 4g tmobile on 2.2. The factory reset does nothing. Installing CWM or HC recovery installs correctly in fastboot as I get the OK messages. After doing a fastboot reboot or holding the reset and booting directly into the stock recovery package and choosing "update.pkg" method. I do not get to CWM!! I have read and read and it seems that some of these devices are in read only mode, however those devices do not seem to go through writing the recovery in fastboot while mine does. The idea was to go from froyo to HC using themanii's method, and I have tried and downloaded every stock recovery package he has on his dev host site and i cannot get any of them to actually flash. Please help. Even a hard reset will be acceptable at this point as I am unable to do that. Also, I noticed that when writing recovery it just sticks at "flashing stormgr" and never says anything after that, although I thought that was normal since fastboot gave both "OK" messages.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
It sounds like your in the dreaded Read Mode Only mode. "If" you still have the stock recovery which is uncertain, you can update to HC by renaming that file to Update.pkg on a External SD Card and install that from the stock recovery menu.
[Dell Streak 7] wailer247:
Thank you for the reply. I tried that method with both update.pkg and Update.pkg. Both gave me the FOTA error message, which as I understand, means that the recovery does not match. Meaning, if I can't update the stock recovery how would I be able to get past the FOTA message? How about a hard reset even?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I got the FOTA way back and all it took was using Update.pkg instead of update.pkg. Don't even know what a Hard Reset means.
