I can' t get it to boot. I'll have to wait until I'm home so I can see what's going wrong.

I'm not even a developer. Imagine, going to all this effort for something that (for me) isn't much more than a fancy slideshow presentation. I need to get my priorities in order. I'm just impatient I suppose.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
I had EOS4 running, I wiped System, Dalvik Cache and Cache, flashed the 50MB one, wiped both caches again, then flashed the 480MB image, wiped caches again, then hit reboot and in less than a minute I was at the lock screen

Looks like tablet battery indicator is working, down to 93% (Was at 94 just as I started typing this)

Will test charging (No charging indicator, but is charging, back to 94% now)

EDIT - Charging indicator is working, just takes a while

EDIT - Charges from dock battery too

Oop didn't see this post!

This is where you'll need to give me a hand, I'm limited in my knowledge of adb commands, I can see the tablet in adb, I can open adb shell and see the FS, but can't find the dir stated in post 3

Nor would I know how to edit :)

Anyway, its after 3:30am here, I`ll get some shuteye and return fully charged for tomorrows session

Leave me some instructions on how to edit the display settings and I`ll set to it in the morning
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] garyngkt:
Thanks jholtom for bringing this to TF101. Will prob wait a while for more things to be fixed for example critical ones like Wifi.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RonSykes:
That's odd, I'm coming from EOS4 as well, followed the same process but I just get the black screen with the backlight on. Now I'm intrigued.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bfmetcalf:
That's odd. I'm doing exactly what you are doing and it's been a no go so far. Went 30 mins without booting, went back and wiped caches again even after wiping before I rebooted the system after flashing. Maybe got a bad download I guess.

I'm the same. I know I'm not even going to try again for about 2 hours but for some reason I'm still watching. I don't even know why I want this on my TF101? I've seen it on other things, I'm not a developer, I know it's currently unusable... what the hell is wrong with me?

Could you please share your manifest.xml and cm.dependencies? I'm having some diffuclity regrding none CM git repositories.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RonSykes:
I got it to boot. Good work. The only different step was the extra cache wipe that Detection suggested. So it must be important:

Wipe Data, wipe cache, wipe davlik cache > Install Ubuntu-touch-tf101.zip > Wipe Cache > Install quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip > Wipe Cache > Reboot.

I changed the pixel density with little trouble. Do the following (as root):

adb shell

ubuntu_chroot shell

vi /usr/bin/ubuntu-session

Find and edit the values for the following entries (there are two entries for each:

GRID_UNIT_PX=10 (as suggested)

QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.2 (looks best to me by trial and error)

Reboot and the resolution should be better.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

I've had a quick look around and I don't think we're going to have any trouble running this on the old TF101 as long as we have people like Jholtom doing good work, pulling it all together.

The main issue for me is the wifi. Without it, I can't install nano and without nano I can't configure the wifi (I can use vim but I hate it and that means I can't concentrate on the problem.

Although it looks like the network adapter isn't recognised at all so it might be beyond my ability anyway.

Camera is also not working for me. I don't think anything else is supposed to be working so it's not really worth commenting.

EDIT: I found a few videos in the /home/phablet/videos folder that are linked to some of the movie titles on the videos page. There's no picture but the audio for the videos works.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Do I have do to anything else then plug-in the USB between my laptop and the tablet? No device is found when trying to use adb. While Ubuntu booted up on the tablet, that is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Ok, so I got as far as the last command you posted, but not sure how to navigate or edit those files, could you give me a command by command walkthough ?

I'm at this prompt

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Make sure you don't have any other USB devices plugged in apart from keyboard & mouse, I just had the same problem because my phone was plugged in too
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Nope. Nothing else at all connected. Using a laptop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
So my guide isn't working like I thought. My generated file has /boot directory where as 0.9 does not. 0.9 also has 176 items in /system/lib whereas mine has 115. Other discrepancies and counts. Jholtom or onkelbebu, can you help me out? I can't get a log from the tf101 because my the error is saying no logs exist probably because it hasn't booted even though it has the infamous black sreen.

Please look at this pastebin for the output of my commands and tell me if you see anything wrong.

http://pastebin.com/0Etddd6T
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Bump. Looking to see from my pastebin if anyone knows if my guide is wrong or if I have compiled it incorrectly. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
I'm rebuilding ATM, I should have a answer for you sooner or later, if I end up having to flash, you'll have to wait till I get home where I've got the cable but I can compile and check that out.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
No worries, take your time. Thanks for the response!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
A new build is up at goo.im/devs/jholtom/ubuntu-touch.zip <- Not project official, test of my new build environment and setup. If you can flash and see if it runs. I'll be able to test in maybe ~8hrs. We'll see how that goes, the new build is about 10mb smaller than the previous...wondering what they did on their end to get it smaller as I haven't pushed any recent changes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Should we use quantal, raring, or salamander with this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Should be raring, but feel free to try all of them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Ok, will do. I'll try to get it going tonight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I only tested with saucy tonight. That's what I had downloaded prior and ran out of time. Just a black screen. Before I wipe I'll try raring and quantal tomorrow and I'll try and get a log from adb on saucy as well if mine is even booting that far.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Im going to test it with raring. I suppose only have to follow these steps:

1.- Flash Ubuntu transformer zip

2.- Flash Ubuntu phablet

3.- Reboot

Do I have to wipe something?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Correct, I would suggest doing a full wipe and dalvik as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Its recommended to wipe everything (cache,data,system) first, but the only necessary one is to wipe cache/dalvik
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] csb5731:
Has anyone got raring to boot past the black screen yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
I have tested with both saucy and raring but non of them worked. Just black screen..

What do you think is the main problem? Can you ask for support to ubuntu community or canonical?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Did you use the new build that jholtom uploaded or the 0.9 from the op?

I think it's neon. Unfortunately you'll have to Google that as I don't know what it does but if you read the Google threads or bug reports for Ubuntu touch it's referenced there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
Yeah I used last build, moreover I think he should update the op each time he upload a new build, at least writing the exactly date of the build, no confussion then. If its problem of neon, we have a problem. CyanogenMod isnt going to support our tablets beyond Android 4.2.2.... What a pity!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
The OP wasn't updated because it was a test build from jholtom to see if something changed. I have been unable to get a successful build from the guide I created and he was looking into it so it wasn't meant to be a legitimate update for other users.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Hit it right on the nose, That build wasn't supposed to be a real update...just a test to see if my new build system was working, and to check the status of the ubuntu side of the project. Heck, I think with work we can get our tablet to do this. NEON is not a necessary component. AFAIK other devices without NEON support have got the latest build working. I'll just keep messing around and keeping up with the project to see what I can do to get this running again.

Also 0.9 is the last recorded working build, and most definitely does not work with the daily-preinstalled. you might have to go back a few versions to get a working boot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
As we read in CM's latest announcement -> https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/8wcuSVkr7zR (those who haven't seen or would like to read again)

We might be running into real trouble with this whole NEON thing. We've had a great run, but we might be in for it finally...I intend to keep mashing this thing and hoping to get somewhere, but because of this new lack of CM support for the kernel + device tree and the new heavy dependence on NEON in Android's core, Google's stuff and probably Ubuntu/Canonical products, we are going to run in to a lot more trouble....

It's a sad day, guys. One day our TF's will all go on, but I plan on getting this thing working again before it becomes too much older. Huzzah! (actually I'm kinda scared that I might not be able to do it)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Lol..I almost feel sad. Well I guess the day was going to come soon anyways. It's a shame because the tf101 is a rock solid device.

I had the same issue with the original galaxy s. The software absolutely sucked and then aokp and its devs made it awesome again just like the tf101.

At some point I may just put a regular android build and use it till it goes caput.

Well if you can do any magic jholtom I'll stick around for sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
I saw some devs saying, the lost of CM support will not stop CM dev for our TF101, so I think this will not stop our TF101 developpement, and I hope too, let's see :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MarkyG82:
It looks like some big progress has just been made.

I've not got an environment set up so could someone compile and see what's new?

Cheers
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Elvis_Marmaduke:
I just flashed 0.9 and I'm just getting a bootloop :-/

quick question: if I have a custom kernel already, do I have to flash a specific one before trying this? or does it supply any needed files coming from a custom ROM?

I'm also using TWRP
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
See post 2 about kernels.

Did you do a full wipe?

What recovery and version did you use?

Did you flash the 2 files in the correct order?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Yes I always do a full wipe when installing ROMs

Twrp I am pretty sure it's 4.3.2.3 or something like that

Yes I did the prep file the the pre installed
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Ok did you use the quantal pre installed? That's the only one I ever got to boot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip like it says in the op. Where can I get this magical quantal?:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Use this link

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/

Suacy and raring haven't yet worked. The coding with a graphics system called neon is the big issue since the tf101 doesn't support it in those later builds.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Awesome thanks a lot . Does anyone know if there are any ereaders yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:

New information for porters

Friends,

Daniel Holback send some new information for help the porters. The ports sources will be available through the https://code.launchpad.net/~tf101-image-dev and merge requests will be welcome. :good:

I will make some fixes to revamp the tf101 port availability and tomorrow I will send more information about how to fork this. My build will be saucy based, fliped image. Links in some hours with the steps to help with the upstream project. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks to jholtom and everyone else helping in this :highfive:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielholm:
Thats awesome news, man!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] achilleas.k:
Flashing as instructed results in a boot-loop (0.9 + quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip).

I also tried "saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip", which I probably shouldn't (?) and that just resulted in a black screen after boot (i.e., no boot loop).

I've recovered my old image now (nandroid backup), so no harm done.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ayr-ton:
I'm fixing that for the next build.

When its finished, it will be possible to flash a stable image with phablet-flash directly. But the 0.9 is passing through some problem and it is not available through phablet-flash yet.

I will keep you guys updated.

?

how to choose the right image for my device?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kenshin1388:
Sadly yes, there is no further development on this because of the lack on non-neon support. Since the TF101 series does not support NEON thanks to the Tegra2 chip the blackscreen problem arose and it seemed nobody could get it fixed and lost interest.

To my limited knowledge you're right however, this is just to use the Ubuntu installer. I would like to try and get Ubuntu at least on and playing with it lol. I'm fairly new to the TF forums.

Its hit and miss on here sometimes too, normally can solve it by ending adb.exe in task manager and plugging the tablet into a different USB port, then trying again

Sometimes uninstalling the tablet from device manager will sort it too, let it reinstall itself or point it to adb drivers
