Now that I am on Beta4 with NO DATA2SD my Prime is still shutting down after a period of time, noticed yesterday when sitting next to it, just a normal shut down with all sounds normally present, has it something to do with Sleep mode maybe ?

New Features?

With the 4.3 b4 update do we get the new PA features like Hover and peek? I can't seem to find or notice them ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] v1ks:
Hi...

I was an andorowook 2.31 and have downgraded my bootloader to 4.1.1. and currently on 10.4.2.18 Asus official ROM...

I want to flash this ROM onto my prime but i am little confused about creating the NVFlash, is this necessary before flashing this ROM?

Before installing the modified twrp it says to run the nvflash...but if i dont run nvflash is there a risk i can brick my device whilst trying to install this ROM?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
Wish I could help you but I am clueless what the value of nvflash is. People will tell you to look at the android development forum but it also does not tell you really what nvflash is. Unfortunately some people like to write things and assume everyone is on the same page. I don't see any reason why you would need nvflash to use paranoid. I have not used nvflash at all. I assume if you are on the 4.1.1 bootloader, you just data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and flash away. Try reinstalling apps fresh not from titanium and then selectively restore your data to those apps. Make sure nothing F ups your device/performance.

Sadly it looks like most have abandoned this device. A shame really because it's on par with the N7 in terms of specs. I know as I have both. Great device, still more than competent to run any ROM and yet no dev's and old rom's. Ah well, this prime only cost me $130, can't complain. Running the rebuilt Asus ROM found here in the forums and it works good enough for my needs. Paranoid ROM has a lot of broken features and it is very vanilla still.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sneeuwtijger:
NVFlash install and backup just gives you a back-up of the device before you do anything that can harm your installation and so you can always return to the beginning , that's the value of it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
I highly recommend doing the nvflash backup before doing anything. This device is very easy to brick, and sometimes the only way to recover is with those backups.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
So does TWRP, right? so I'm not sure the value of nvflash. It just seems to be another flash program as far as I can tell.

I never used it to flash or backup but maybe I'll check it out tonight and take a backup just in case. Not like there is a heck of a lot of rom's to choose from, so far this improved Asus stock image is the best I've tried. Very sad this device didn't get better community support. I think it's a great device and I got one used for a steal of a price. To me it's a N7 with a bigger display.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] v1ks:
Thanks all for ur responses...

I manage to workout how to load PA on my prime without having to nvflash since im on JB bootloader. I flashed the modified TWRP as mentioned in post1 and then did the rest without any issues.....running PA now....

i just wanted to try out the ROM to see how good/bad it was....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sneeuwtijger:
Maybe you should read this part , gives you a bit insight in the NVFlash https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/the-inner-workings-of-secure-boot-key-and-nvflash/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
Nvflash is built into the board, and writes directly to the nand. TWRP is a recovery software that relies on a linux kernel to boot up. If the bootloader becomes corrupted, or if your unlock token gets overwritten, or if your partitions get messed up... all of which happens very frequently, then Nvflash is your only way to recover. Unfortunately, you have to do the nvflash backup while the device is still working, or you won't be able to use nvflash afterwards, once the device is bricked.

Known ways for such bricks are: using factory wipe with on certain bootloaders, flashing some roms that were not packaged correctly, using goo manager, etc. It is very easy to brick, and twrp will be of no help once it happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] v1ks:
Thanks for the info...

i did try to follow the guide below but in the guide it says "The current AndroidRoot.mobi bootloader versions are Transformer Prime TF201: 10.4.2.15", and i was on stock Asus 10.4.2.18. So i was not sure if i could still follow the below guide to backup the nvflash.

Now that iam running PA, can i still follow this guide and do the backup?

I have done lots of reading on threads but could not find a straight answer on how to follow this guide if you are not on the version thats mentioned. i did not want to harm it if needed to be on .15.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
Good luck, let us know your success if you try. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sneeuwtijger:
Something i am missing, not sure if it is present in other PA builds, is the double battery status - dock battery level is not available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
See OP.

Known Issues:

1. The Dock battery doesn't show up on the status bar

2. GPS is still broken

3. Possible issue with the power button (You can use the sleep toggle in quick settings as a workaround. Push and hold to bring up the power menu)

4. Multi-user is broken (causes bootloops).

5. Most likely other little things.

All the reasons why I don't bother with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] VoltageNZ:
Not sure if this is just coincidence or not but after I switched to ART (which failed miserably) and then used the switch-d2a-rtbyhnkotnisv2.zip to go back to Dalvik it would seem my tablet doesn't register that it is charging any longer. The coincidence may be that I replaced the motherboard recently but can confirm it worked prior to unlocking/flashing etc.

Any clues? I've just flashed to the latest build in this thread (full wipe prior) and no change. Tried CM11 as well - no diff. I'm thinking I may need to go right back using my nvflash files to potentially solve this if at some point during the switching of runtimes has screwed up something deeper??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sneeuwtijger:
I am sorry ... The problems mentioned are the only ones I have experienced , beyond that this ROM works like a charm ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
I was on 10.4.2.18 and had no issues using nvflash. I did a lot of reading before hand and I did read somewhere that it worked for someone else so after a lot of soul searching I went ahead and pushed the button on nvflash and like I said I had no issues. I now have a totally unbrickable TF201 so I am now more confident to play around with things.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I have been away for awhile so forgive me if I missed something but I cant seem to find a d2sd kernel for the 5-14 version of this rom only a Framework-Res file. Has it been deleted for some reason? Did it ever exist? lol sorry...........
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary_O:
Curious on what is your preferred ROM for the TF201? Overall I have been quite pleased with this ParanoidAndroid ROM. Thanks...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
I was already on the 4.1.1 bootloader 1.0e 10.4.2.18 so I stuck with what it supported.

I settled with meldrak's [ROM][4.1.1] Stock 10.4.2.18 - Light/Rooted/Odexed V4 along with Xposed. With Xposed it brings some extra goodies. Games like Tapped Out don't crash for me with his ROM. It's an optimized/rooted ASUS Rom, but more importantly all the features work and only had to use fastergps to fix it up. I like that it has configs for performance right near the clock. I like the IPS mode/settings. More important, Flash support. Kitkat doesn't have Flash and even with Dolphin and hacked Flash, it's just not the same as JB and Flash. I watch lots of TV streaming sites and not just Netflix or Hulu.

I guess overall I use meldrak's because it allows me full use of my tablet and it supports Flash. Never been a fan of KitKat or the chocolate bar for that matter. :silly:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Use the 20140409 version of the kernel combined with the latest framework-res zip. To make life easier for me, I update them separately since the kernel changes very little.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
Ok thanks, just a quick one, is Koko Kernel v1.1 compatible with the latest version of this rom? Anyone using this combo?

I like to keep things simple and would like OC but not d2sd if possible.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

IDK if this makes a difference but I had many failures when trying to switch to ART, finally I installed micro gapps and after a quick boot I made the switch before installing any additional apps from play. I think maybe it failed so often for me due to having to many apps on board to be converted and maybe running out of space to store them. Doing it this way it worked like a charm and now I am installing all my normal apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pit84:
youre right friend,my brother have coked for me a rom based on froyo and all workly so good but i think cupcake is the standard for performance.

i look forward for a cupcake\eclair rom

bye

p.s thanks voyager2k for your great job,you are the only developer for the tf201 and we are fortunately,because you are a very good and seriously developer
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
Anyone else having trouble charging after flashing the latest version? I am trying to figure out if that's my problem or if I suddenly have a hardware issue with my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nklenchik:
I can't complain about this rom.

My nearing three year old tablet has the latest software version on it and runs pretty well considering the hardware and wifi issues. It runs all of the apps I want, and has taken some tumbles with only scratches to the back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
I am having issues with charging and battery level , I do not know if the two are connected or totally separate issues.

The charging issue is that it seems to not charge more then 59% playing with the plug makes it start and stop so I was thinking it was hardware related.

The other issue is when waking from deep sleep the tablet gives a low battery warning and shows 0% battery. Rebooting the tablet makes the battery level return to normal and report the actual level.

I am using the latest PA ROM with the kernel it comes with. I am going to flash an older ROM backup and see if these issues go away and report back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
I flashed the older version of PA I always fall back on and both issues have disappeared. I think however android gets the power info is broken in the new ROM or kernel. The charging issue was a result also and probably would have shown a full charge had I rebooted the ROM.

Am I the only one having these issues? or the only one running the stock rom? lol well I guess it is a week that I should not expect any answers, everybody is busy with real life. lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Pa 4.4 beta1

Sorry to take so long responding. I've noticed the problem on my end as well, but haven't been able to pinpoint the cause.

In other news, PA 4.4 BETA1 is now ready for flashing. As I said above, I haven't been able to find out why the battery doesn't want to charge 100%, but I fixed a settings FC caused by trying to access the Superuser settings. Also, the Theme Engine from CyanogenMod has been added into the ROM. Sadly, no Hover yet, but since the team considers it stable now, hopefully it won't be long.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tHoMaS-1:
Seems like dirty flash doesn't work.

Thumbs up for the 4.4 BETA 1, can we use the existing DATA2SD kernel and framework for this Rom or do we wait for a special 4.4 BETA 1 version ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cristian1975:
Same here. And data partition is gone :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Are either of you using Data2SD or F2FS?

You can use the existing Data2SD kernel. As for the framework, I've uploaded the new version already.

None of them. I had more retries, installed 4.3 beta 4 and tried a clean upgrade to 4.4, same result.

I have re-installed 4.3b4 and stick with it for now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alesi80:
Same here too..

first I got the Encryption Unsuccessful loop, than I tried to wipe it all and flashing the PA 4.3 (flashing even the Framwork_res_Stock_20140608) and it went on the fixed asus splashscreen mode. Than I tried flashing back the cm 11 I had till yestyerday, but the asus splash screen is the only thing I get...

Is that a brick situation?

how could I save it?

EDiT

I save the day by wiping all I can and flashing the old cm11...

[MENTION=3828422]Voyager2k[/MENTION] i also get the Encryption unsuccessful screen loop even with a clean install

Pulling the Build

Ok guys, I'm pulling the 4.4 build from goo.im for now. I haven't had the encryption problem on my end, but it's clear that something went wrong, and at this point, I don't know what.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
I 'd like to try this I have 4.1.1 boot loader with voyager2k TWRP. I am running the Meldrak ROM which is the rooted Asus ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Let's try this again

New build (4.4 RC1) is up on goo.im. Hopefully, this one fixes the data mounting problem some people were having. I still haven't had the problem on my end, so I'll update the OP with this build once I hear back from people who were having problems. Here's a link.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
Again, I 'd like to try this I have 4.1.1 boot loader with your latest TWRP. I am running the Meldrak ROM which is the rooted Asus ROM. Am I good to go wipe date/factory reset/cache/dalvik and flash this rom? Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cristian1975:
Upgrade successful, thank you! No data mounting problem with this build.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] billycar11:
I no longer get the encryption error this build works fine.

yes but also wipe system and then you can install rom and gapps
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Flukester69:
Thanks for the reply. I read the OP and various pages but didn't give me peace of mind to risk my tablet. Give this a go later tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
Any chance of getting an enhanced OC kernel without d2sd? It just does not seem to work well on my tablet, but the OC kernels always work well for me. Thanks for all the work you put into these builds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabezt:
Thanks Voyager2k! It rocks! Like all your roms!

But I had many problems following standard installation steps, flashing in this order:

- Wipe

- Rom

- Gapps

- Reboot (until complete blue bar)

- Data2sd enhaced kernel

- Data2sd framework res

- Reboot

it remains hanged up in the paranoid boot log (the eye)...

I'd to flash it like this:

- Wipe

- Rom

- Reboot (until complete blue bar)

- Data2sd enhaced kernel

- Data2sd framework res

- Reboot

- Gapps

- Reboot

It works ok!

Thnx!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sneeuwtijger:
Fingers crossed yesterday and leap into the unknown with 4.4 RC 1 , with DATA2SD ...

At first a lot of Re-boots when Tablet got in sleep mode, cleaned cash - ext2sd partition , reflashed DATA2SD kernel and framework , now fine - it rocks, is even smoother than 4.3 BETA4.

-- Edit --

Reboot problem not over, just about 2 minutes when Tablet in sleep mode, my sleep time is set on 30 minutes, the Tablet does a spontanous Reboot - not very workable.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jan3586:
Hi Voyager2K, I experienced the "max 59%" charging issue too but it was apparently solved by wiping cache and Dalvik cache.

BTW, I recently bought a AX88179 based usb to ethernet adapter and want to make it work with my TF201. Is it possible to have a driver for this built/ Does this ROM support such adapters at all? thanks for the help

Edit: I got the AX88179 working by compiling the driver using the cm11 kernel. However there is no GUI to indicate that internet traffic is going through the ethernet adapter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabezt:
Is it possible to come back to factory status (default rom, defautl recovey) from this rom (ParanoidAndroid 4.4 RC1)?

Noone here knows how please?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheArtiszan:
Depends on your bootloader. As long as you have the right files in place you can. Be careful with nvflash not to brick it though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabezt:
Thnx Artiszan! I've seen how to backup nvflash, etc. here: http://matthill.eu/android/transformer-prime-tf201-jellybean-nvflash/

but what has to be done then? Once I've nvflash backedup, what's next? which 'official' has to be installed? and how has to be installed?

Thnx!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
4.4 is here, with HOVER

4.4 is finally here. No more beta's, no more RC's, just plain ParanoidAndroid 4.4. Hover has been added to this build (at last). For some reason or another, goo.im isn't letting me upload, so here's the download link. You can also download it from the DevDB.

Edit: Forgot to post the framework-res files for data2sd. Here you go:

Re: [ROM][JB Bootloader] ParanoidAndroid 3.10r3 [UNOFFICIAL] 3/11/2013

It is recommended you use a different launcher such as Nova or Apex (my choice) so you can customise it to your liking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anoneemooz:
For the Quick Settings arrangement of tiles or whatever tile customization not sticking properly..

The unofficial CM10.1s by Namidario used to have that problem but I think he himself was able to fix it as of his latter releases. I guess since it's unofficial, the fix was not carried over to CM10.1 itself (at least for the TFP). So perhaps looking into what he did or asking him would lead to a fix for it. :)

..It's the only thing really bothering me about this right now but everything else is perfect! Using Pie takes some getting used to and the orientation it decides to take on (regardless of the setting..) sometimes is confusing but I'll figure it out eventually!

Thanks so much for yours and Namidario's continued working on breathing new AOSP life goodness into the TFP to make it perform at its fullest potential :D

Re: [ROM][JB Bootloader] ParanoidAndroid 3.10r3 [UNOFFICIAL] 3/11/2013

Would love to use this ROM, but I can't get my Prime unlocked :(

Maybe someday the Asus gods will look upon me and feel a small tiny morsel of pity and allow me to unlock... But until then I can only look at this ROM from afar and admire the beautify that it is...

So yeah it looks good guys! Looks really good!!

Nexus 4. Paranoid edition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Namidairo:
You could ask him, but he would have no idea what you are talking about because he hasn't touched the QuickSettings code. And I highly doubt that any of the 2 (!) patches that have been merged upstream in CM would have anything to do with it. (Look yourself, the only things I submit are on request or just out of frustration...)

:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anoneemooz:
Ohhh my bad! Hmm must have been something the CM team fixed but not yet addressed by PA. Thanks still for your awesome efforts in general though!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
It's times like this that I wish PA was still based on Cyanogenmod. Honestly, I don't know what's causing that problem with QuickSettings.

Anyway to add a clear all button when you see the list of opened apps?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voyager2k:
Heads up. ParanoidAndroid 3.15 will be coming soon. Changes include a new quicksettings tile for adjusting the hybrid properties for the currently running app, a revised version of PAPrefs, and starting with this build, I'll be including _motley's OC kernel, since no one reported any problems with the experimental build I posted.
