I´ve been tasting this Rom and I can say its a reall good improvement the fact tah we can now change our preferences interface. However, trying to move over different screens is really anoying due to the fact of the laggy launcher, transition are really slow. For instance, surfing into Google Plus app its feel really really slow.

Hope you cand improve this part of the ROm, Know that is not all a easy task. Apart from this, is the best rom I´ve tasted right now!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheMrcool212:
I will include Trebuchet launcher from CM 10.1 to make the launcher smooth by enabling 'wallpaper quick render' in Trebuchet settings and also some improvements. I tested it and it scrolls smoothly.

Hint:

If you want your device look more faster, go to settings > developer options, scroll down a bit > there is three options:

1. Window animation scale.

2. Transition animation scale.

3. Animator duration scale.

Those are set 1x by default, change it to 0.5x to make it faster.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
It sounds great, maybe changing the launcher the permofance gets better. I was aware of changing the speed of this option will increment the speed, but you and I feel the lag, and no option can solve this :) Again thanks for do this, thanks to community our transformer still alive updated!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheMrcool212:
PA overlay? Did you mean by the display like layouts and dpi's? I copied the properties.conf from TF700T and modified it a bit. I changed the default layout to 720 and dpi to 160.

When you talking about kernels, i don't know so much about these because i'm new to Android . I just cloned the device tree from josteink. He maintained the device tree now. I don't know what defconfig is but i can give you the link to the device tree.

https://github.com/josteink/device_asus_tf101
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just1nsama:
Thanks for the reply, but i still dont understand how you were able to build without cloning a kernel to your source tree, as you can see in josteink's device tree, in BoardConfig.mk, it is calling for katkernel:

# kernel - disable inline building for now

TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/asus/tf101

TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := katkernel_lidpatch_defconfig

From what i can gather from your screen shots in OP, the build compiled using raymanfx's elite kernel, normally you should have an error while building if the required kernel called from BoardConfig.mk isnt present.

I guess i'll just use katkernel to compile, but i was having problems with it last time i tried to compile PAC-ROM using this device tree along with kat, its been a while tho, i guess i'll try again and see. Could you provide me with the PA tutorial you used for this build, maybe it could me out, thanks.

Thanks for the DPI settings, i ll create PA overlays using those settings :good:

Update 16/5

Added Trebuchet launcher from my own CM 10.1 build to make the launcher in this ROM smooth. Credit: CyanogenMod

Replaced Tablet UI (big) with Stock UI (Normal) if you want to got back to normal display with Phablet UI in the Hybrid Properties.

Experimental : I've also include this ROM with the 3G version of this tablet (TF101G). So i need a tester to tell me whether the 3G are working or not. Thank you so much to josteink for the device tree for the TF101G.

Hint:

If you want to make the launcher smooth, just go to the app drawer, hit the three button menu on top, select trebuchet settings. Enable "Wallpaper quick render" in the homescreen tab.

I will add several screenshots for the newest release soon !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] macpherson1999:
I have tastes this version and I can say that Trebuchet feels really smoother than before, but just when navbars appear, when I hide navbar the laggy launcher came again. I really apreciate the possibilite of hide this navbar and use PIE controls. I think changing on Paranoid setting, changing on interface Phablet instead of "tablet" its came smoother. Moreover, this PIE controls can only be situated on the bottom of the screen, not en the right or left edge, nor on the top.

Paranoid Wallpapers get FC sometimes.

Last but not least, I have to say that the firt time I see my desktop after log in my google acount, I just see a black screen, then I have to pulse Home botton and then I can select Trebuchet or default launcher, ¿is this normal?

Thanks for your effort men!

What I'm saying is with this Rom and other roms that aren't stock roms when I install them and want to go to my device storage I have to go thru a lot of folders just to get to it is there a way around that ??sorry for the confusion meant folders not files ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dy57:
Installed pa_tf101g-3.68-20130719.zip on my TF101G.

Great features and functions, but can't set my APN to connect to the data network

Device detects the mobile network and carrier from my AT+T SIM but there is no APN entry and the menu option to add on cannot be accessed.

Any suggestions? Let me know and I can provide additional info.

Thanks.

It might be the file systems, did you use TWRP Recovery instead?

Sent from my Galaxy S4 i9500
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
It'd really be awesome if people even read the install instructions before installing a ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rrjskj:
Nope I used rogue recovery. I haven't tested out twrp yet but I will now ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheMrcool212:
Yup, that's the cause of it. Rogue CWM Recovery doesn't support 4.2 ROMs. What only we have now is TWRP.

Sent from my Galaxy S4 i9500
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rrjskj:
Not To be rude but in his earlier works we didnt have the newer twrp to work with ..btw older version of twrp would do the same thing as rogue which is why i stuck with stock roms after using 4.2 roms and I just saw he updated op with install instructions I didn't see it there a couple months back ..I really wish folks would get off their soap box about other's asking questions and coming off as rude

Update Mrcool just tried latest twrp with this Rom works like a charm thank you ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
TWRP with support for the 4.2 file structure was available about the same time any ROMs were, a LONG time before this ROM was even created.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rrjskj:
Maybe so but let's see here last time I used twrp. I had the same problems as rogue where my files were misplaced. so care to enlighten me on where there should be a problem with asking questions?? plainly put I meant no disrespect but when it came to op's rom and other roms like cm my files was misplaced using old twrp so in other words if ur not gonna be helpful stow the let's act superior attitude as my comment pretaining to rom wasn't meant for you ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] st0nedpenguin:
You're going to have problems if you're using the wrong version of TWRP, that's fairly obvious.

None of this changes the rather obvious fact that reading the install instructions tells you which recovery to use to install the ROM, however.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rrjskj:
No obviously we're gonna have problems like I said before instead of just coming off as rude it would have been helpful if you just would have said please check op intructions are there. obviously as I have posted b4 I haven't tried new twrp and therefore could not have known it would work. And last time I used the second to oldest version of this rom and older version of twrp the instructions wasn't there and I had issues with misplaced folders. Btw like I also stated a little kindness goes a long way in helping instead of coming off as being rude and snooty. as a fellow senior member I'm appalled at the lack of respect being shown to other members that are just simply asking questions only to be shunned for even asking. Anyways peace be with you..

Paranoid Android 3.68 Unofficial build - V1

TF101: pa_tf101-3.68-20130721_V1.zip

TF101G: pa_tf101g-3.68-20130721_V1.zip

New Trebuchet Launcher from PAC-Man ROM with pinch to enable expanded desktop and more!

FIXED: Menu button overlay issue :victory:

FIXED:Photosphere camera on photosphere Gapps, finally!

Latest Linaro GCC 4.7 toolchain updated

Added Performance Control and Launcher shortcut to the settings

Settings: Added x0.75 animation scale to developer option CREDIT: Temasek

Privacy Guard: Un-list apps that have been disabled

This ROM is now include cherry-picks :good:

Hybrid Properties: Renamed Tablet UI mid to Stock UI

More init.d tweaks

Updated CM and PA sources

Official changelog from PA, or you can just go here

NOTE:If you have faced any problems, please reinstall it make a full wipe before reporting it

This ROM will be included with cherry-picks and feature ports (maybe), since this ROM had less features with other ROMs. Thus, i will update this ROM by versions, instead of nightlies. These cherry-picks mostly from CM10.1, AOKP or AOSP gerrit codes. If someone felt like to contribute with my repos for cherry-picks, tell me.

Here's my own repositories:

android_packages_apps_Settings

android_frameworks_base

android_vendor_pa

However, my future plans for this ROM is to improve the performance in terms of speed and smoothness. I'll do my best for these, as this is my first experience. There are things to come soon.

Anyhow, enjoy! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rrjskj:
Mrcool here is what I was referring to if you look closely at top left hand corner where it says /sdcard/0/0 it shows up like that everytime I restore stock rom cause all my sd stuff ends up in last folder recovery can't find it. On a seperate note I had to restore previous rom cause my kid was screaming at me to play fruit slice lol apparently kids love that game ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheMrcool212:
I see there, that's because of new Android 4.2 multiuser support for tablets, for example the folder number "0" represents as first user and "1" as second user and etc. In Android 4.1 and below, they didn't have those.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rrjskj:
Ah I get it. So is there a way to set it so it shows up like 4.1 that would make it a lot easier on me since I'm constantly switching back and forth ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheMrcool212:
There's no mod for it, but i can tell you that just move all of the files and folders in /sdcard/0 to /sdcard if you want to downgrade to 4.1 or Stock.

MrCool, I have 3.68 now. However, when i plug in my external HDDs into the USB slots in the dock, I cant mount them from settings.

I use file explorer and not able to see the HDDs also. use KAT but doesnt help

maybe for the above it was not supposed to work yet. but just reporting

No problem about the Dock WIP. Was expecting that since u already labelled it.

Somehow i was hoping to bring this ROM for my vacation, but since i cant mount external HDD it will be a problem. So i have to go back to 4.0.4

Many thanks for your work!

Mobile Data lost after reboot !

Hi TheMrcool212,

I thought pa_tf101g-3.68-20130721_V1.zip solved the issues with Mobile Data, this worked great until I rebooted or fast rebooted.

After a reboot, lost the ability to connect to a carrier and network connection fails. Had to reflash the ROM to get it back but fails again after a boot. :(

Looks like Mobile Data is hosed when rebooting - would be great if this would be stable !

Thanks

P.S. Did some more research with Google....

APNs can be recovered with Fix Permissions from Recovery , but are lost again on the next reboot.....

Bootloop and can't do anything

Hi guys, I'm coming from EOS4 and I installed this ROM, well, I tried. I had CWM recovery, so I flashed TWRP recovery from goo, all fine.

Then through TWRP I wiped cache, dalvik, factory and system. Then installed last version of your ROM (wifi only) and stock gapps.

Now I'm stuck at bootloop and can't do anything, recovery won't start and I have no way to shut down the device, any help from anyone?

Now the tablet is just sitting here rebooting.

Best regards Kwisatz

Update: I held vol up and it's off now....well, I guess....wtf did I just do :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheMrcool212:
If it doesn't pass the eee pad screen, it might be kernel related. Try to flash the Katkernel.

Can you give me a log for more info?

That's odd. Since your tablet can't do anything, even it can't boot to the recovery. The only thing left you need to do is flash the Stock ROM in APX mode to bring your tablet alive.

I'll be back with results in a couple of minutes

Update: That's wonderful, I get random reboots after installation of gapps. Any thoughts? Although ROM was installed correctly and it's working, ish.

Update 2: Allright, maybe it was done by my agps patch, another wipe, another installation, no problems yet.

That's what i'm able to do now, as i was busy lately.

As for TF101 users, can you test whether external HDD is working? I'm not quite sure here, because i got an error that says "SD Card Damaged, try to reformat again"

hey,

i have more of technical question regarding your ROM.

i'm wondering why you have

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9");

in your updater-script.

i'm trying to figure out how to manually flash your kernel and the one from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347581, but i'm confused now, since he seems to flash the kernel to p4.

i'm confused as i also always thought the bootblob belongs to /dev/block/mmcblk0p4? :eek:

Thanks for the update. One question I have, what scheduler / governor do you use?

Hey!

Fantastic! Playing with PA last ten minutes, coming from KatKiss (former Eos4)

I found that there is a sort of cornerstone/floating panel in this ROM.

Long click on a recent app and there is an option "floating mode" !! A windowed version of the app, letting see background ....

Ps : I wish only PA was more well documented, and that the default UI was tablet mode. I was a bit confused when after first installation, my tf101 open PlayStore with my phone UI...

Summary of my tablet running this ROM

So after I bricked, unbricked and about 3 or 4 times factory reseted and reinstalled the ROM I finally got it to launch. Then I tried to reload my apps backed up with My Backup, but I advise you DON'T. This ROM is just not made for loading saved apps with that application. Tablet just reseted and didn't boot again. But the next day, there was a new version, so I load it to SD card and flashed it without factory reset, then everything was looking great, because system optimized all apps. But in the evening I couldn't start the tablet again, so I wanted to complain and post some furious comment about daily ROM (literally daily). But now I just loaded the apps from Play store and everything seems nice.

So my advice is: DON'T USE MY BACKUP WITH THIS ROM, it won't work, TheMrcool is having "a few" bugs in his ROM.

And one bug report: sometimes the tablet just won't start, I have to reboot it with long press of power button. (Great when you have an alarm set to wake you up)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheMrcool212:
I apologize that, but have you tried to fix permissions in the recovery?

Sent from my Galaxy S4 i9500
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kwisatz_Haderach:
No need to apologize, I actually don't mind cleaning my tablet a bit, I had about 250 apps. And for the "Fix permissions" I never have done that before and I don't know what it actually does so no I did not. But it's ok now and working like charm. And I think it has better battery life than my previous ROM, because it drained about 15-20% through night before, now it's 5% max. And yesterday evening I forgot to turn off my wake lock and the CPU was running for about 4 hours for nothing but battery didn't drop as much as I would think it would.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] steveeJ:
i learned that p4 is he staging partition, on which you have to flash a blob packed with blobpack. the blob includes information for which system partition, e.g. LNX for the kernel, the inclded image(s) is/are targetted. your script uses p9 and flahses an unpacked kernel image (zimage i guess). this needs kernel which is hacked to reveal all system partitions, which TWRP does.

i'm just repeating, hopefully correct ;), what jhowel (thread owner of my previously linked thread) explained to me.
