not 100% convinced about bluetooth, I hooked up my bt headphones and they connected etc, but any sounds that i got to play, like button press, system notifications etc, played through both the system speakers and bt headphones. without wifi i wasnt able to test music apps. Its not my main concern yet, just need to get wifi working and everything else should fall in to place.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
Hey scanno that's great news. My tf300t is running CM10.2 and is sooooo slow. Can't AIT for you to release this. Hope WiFi can get sorted. Really pleased to see how commited you are to our tablet. You'll be a legend if you get this off the ground. Nice to hear Xplodwild is still involved too. We are well looked after guys. Well done scanno!!!!!!!!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Drahric:
Just a passing thought, maybe the way wifi works also changed in kitkat and the hardware is trying to do something that the kernel dosen't know how to interpret, and passes it off as an error, maybe if you used the original information that is stock 4.2.2 and change it so that it is the same format as what kitkat requires and not what jelly bean requires. I dont know, just an idea.

Sent from my TF300T
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
That sounds like a routing problem. But I agree. Wifi is the most important thing. The rest will follow.

I might have found something. Found a post stating that the bcm4329 is not supported anymore in kitkat. I also found a device that has a fix for that. I am trying that one out. It is building
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] batwingnz:
Haha, version release intended to support legacy devices, now with discontinued radio support! ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Mm no succes yet...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] That Baker Guy:
Im positive we can get it working some how..., I went looking for devices using the bcm4329 and didnt find any after a quick google search, which did you find that used it?

edit: looks like the nexus one use's the bcm4329 chip and it appears they have working wifi on 4.4 kk..
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Also the de streak7 uses the bcm4329. Will have a look at the Nexus one device tree.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] That Baker Guy:
it appears the N1 is no longer a cm device so i think the rom they have is evervolv but its 4.4 and bcm4329

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540366

edit: it also appears that the og xoom has it, but its been dropped from cm, no kit kat builds available.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] XpLoDWilD:
Yup :) I'm looking at it today.

That's not true. bcm4329 is used in manta if I remember correctly, and at least one other device. Plus, Galaxy S3 also uses bcm4329, and it works fine.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Arkmanpt:
Hi:

I am about to try for the first try this new rom, was using CM 10.2.

In the page http://dl.omnirom.org/ what is the name used to identify the tf300t ? Sorry if it is a dumb question but i just font seem to find that reference.

Thanks

Hey Xpoldwild Thanx so much we really need you. Were all desperate to get the tf300t on KitKat. Really hope that you hold the key to make it happen. Thanx for your time as well bro. Know your busy.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matonka007:
Please, can somebody build me a rom from source, upload it and send me a link? I am developing android app and using last SDK base (for KitKat) and I want to try it on TF300T (because my PC is too slow for Virtual Android Device) and only 4.4 have some features (like getting profile photos and names from G+ what I using in my app too) so I using my tablet to debugging my app, but can not test some special features.

I have experience in apps development but not in building ROMs.

Tahnk you for help :)

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matonka007:
Thank you a lot. Maybe if I have time I can discuss the wifi with students at the university we have a group specifically for developing Android. Maybe they can help.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Actually I have not tested this build yet now that I think of it. I have adjusted the ramdisk with another wpa_supplicant command line. For the rest it is the same as my other builds so it should boot and have graphics and sound.

External sdcard is not working but I know how to solve that (fstab/init.cardhu.rc changes).
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Graiden05:

See the OmniRom github
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gab_hamelin:
Quick question before flashing. Does it support micro SD card?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
As I wrote this is very experimental and does not have wifi and sdcard yet.

Please do Not flash.

I am removing the file. This was a mistake to post it. I should have sent the link by PM.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gab_hamelin:
I was not talking about the link for kitkat, but the latest release. I wanted to get rid of stock and wanted to install your ROM. I tried the CM 10.2 nightly and it couldn't mount SD.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Buster99:
hmmm, this device definetly needs some KitKat goodness.

been running 4.4 as a test on my S4 and its like supercharged (dunno why, but with 4.2/4.3 its a bit sluggish) same with the tf300. on the s4 (with TitaniumBackup restored apps) i have about 600mb used Ram (4.3 is about 300 mb

free

) and my TF300 with CM /PAC is at capacity - even changing homescreens is sluggish (and i use it only as a multimedia device - poweramp, audible, yatze - free ram on latest PAC:

97MB!

)

Hope the Wlan issue is resolved soon, also i look forward for some omni experience :)

*fingers crossed* and thanks for your work

I think all of us enjoy the updates on development (even the failures ) so please don't stop reporting! :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
If there is something to report I will. I did not have time to do anything for the TF300T.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
I did a little experiment with wpa_supplicant. I copied wpa_supplicant from 4.3.1 and tried that. I can't get a wifi connection, but I get a lot more response from wpa_supplicant and the bcm4329 driver is called. Also the sockets directory does not get deleted.

This probably means that some hacking of wpa_supplicant is needed or we need an updated bcm4329 driver....

I guess this will be a difficult one. Probably not going to be solved by me. Not enough time and not skilled enough. Unless someone already has a solution and I can implement it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] krash1256:
I would love this as well.

It would be so great and so kind of someone to make of these roms for the ME301T. Would it really be that hard? I would even be willing to donate to get someone who would be willing to do it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebildude123:
Well if you are able to build pure AOSP rom for the ME301T, there'd be something to work off of.

Most people don't have a ME301T either.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Langduscher:
I just used up my Thanks [MENTION=2162789]XpLoDWilD[/MENTION] & [MENTION=905572]scanno[/MENTION] for today just because they're trying to get 4.4 running on this device :good:

I think it's just AWESOME :cowboy:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] krash1256:
Okay

But everyone keeps saying that the ME301T is almost identical to the TF300T, what did they do to get other roms on that model? Isn't it just a question of changing certain files if they are so identical?

I posted in another thread about having owned a Pandigital Tablet which was a piece of crap and they made roms for that. I guess I just don't understand what goes into portin a rom.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Drahric:
From what I can tell: a small change in the files results in hours of compiling and testing and compiling again. So its not that they can't support it, its the time IMHO.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] krash1256:
Okay

Okay, I understand that but they are willing to put in the time for the TF300T but not the ME301T? I would be more than willing to test the roms. I don't know how to compile either but heck with instructions I would even be willing to compile the files myself.

I've been using Linux for a very long time now and have simply learned by doing. If I could find simple instructions on how to port roms I would give it ago myself but I'm not really a programmer. I did mess around with roms for the Pandigital tablet I had but I know that rom making for this tablet is a whole lot different.

I guess the people who make these roms don't understand how disappointing and frustrating it is to have a tablet that is so similar to another one but no one is willing to put in the time for it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gab_hamelin:
You have tout understand that the people who makes ROM are making it on their free time. They are also working for the device they have.

I understand how it can be frustrating to not have any developper for your device, but you have to understand that reality.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] krash1256:
Guess So

Yes, I do understand all the points made. I realize that not everyone has time on their hands like I do. I just wish I knew how to do them myself.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] hardslog:
There aren't any devs who own the ME301T. If you want to see if some people can get CM based roms working on them the first thing you can try to do is install them and get logcats of everything that is borked (if it even boots at all). If you do that some people may be able to port stuff over to get it to work.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Buster99:
Well, if you have the time - read the cm wiki. it describes on how to compile for devices.

And as a rule of thumb: the more popular the device is (and if the bootloader is unlockable) the more devs will buy it an from that pool some wil develope/port for it.

check the nexus 5 forum or s3 mini and compare it to the s4 mini.

its a huge difference imho. ( before i go out and buy a new phone i check the forums for potential devs :D )

just check the wiki and go and try it. worst that shoult happen is that once you flashed your first compiled rom you need to restore a nandroid. the times when a devicetree compiled rom bricks your device completly are thankfully not occuring that much anymore.

and i know your feeling - my first device was an se x10( piece of crap)

cheers

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
A lot of developers did not know a lot about building android roms when they started. Like almost everything in life you have to start and learn.

I am working in IT for around 20 years now and that helps understanding how things work. But still you have to try things out.

I am a generalist. That means that a know stuff about a lot of things but do not have deep knowledige. I can read and write code and debug some things but do not know enough to solve low level stuff.

Same about network in, the same about storage and so on.

Just try things out. You will fail a lot of times, but you will succeed also. That is normal.

And Yes.. Before buying a device look at the support from the community :P
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] That Baker Guy:
eh today in very basic rom development such as just compiling from source are just a matter of whether or not you can follow the instructions. there are many guides here on xda, the cm wiki is very helpful as well, and of course you can ask questions here on xda or in irc. I'm a junior in engineering school here in the states with a few semesters of programming experience while that helps in understanding some of the code i see, i cant write drivers or apps. I can read and thats the biggest tool i have.

I'm not saying rom dev is easy, this is the first time i have tried and let me tell you it has really surprised me just how much work it takes just to get it to boot. but if you start from a stable base like a 4.3 rom and just compiling it then you can move on from there.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
Hey guys. Are there any results from Xpoldwild looking at the WiFi issue?? Is anyone else making progress on it?

Truly appreciate your hard work and time!!!!!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
No useful progress. Wpa_supplicant does not give any clues on what is wrong. My view is that there are many changes to wpa_supplicant. Both on the driver and android side. Unless there is a easy fix like setting a build parameter it is digging into wpa_supplicant code.

The reason for this conclusion is that the bcm4329 driver is not called using the wpa_supplicant from kitkat. If I use the wpa_supplicant from 4. 3 it is called. But android does not see anything because the interface with Android has changed. Somehow most other wifi cards do not have this problem. Also the TF700T that in many cases is almost the same but uses a different wifi card has no problems.

So do not expect anything soon.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
Thanx buddy appreciate the update. In the meantime my cm10.2 tf300t is so laggy. Would you recommend Omnirom 4.3 as a daily user rom yet or is it not ready?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jon9314:
Yes 4.3 omni is a great daily driver. It has me drooling for kk on this device.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
I would use it :)

The only thing that is not really working are the dock specific things like showing the Battery icon and special keys.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Might have found something. The Nexus one also uses the bcm4329 and found some differences in the bcm4329 and bcmhd kernel drivers. I am building a kernel with changes from the Nexus one.

But now I am going to sleep
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
Wow well done does that mean KitKat by the end of the day......... Only joking.

That's great hope for your sake I it works so you can get the build finished. Is Xplodwild still helping did he find anything the other day?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Well the result is still negative. But I think that I am on the right direction. There is one thing I can do and i will try that. Hopefully this will be the solution.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Most of the times all the roms are using a device tree from the same origin. So changes are that everyone has wifi issues.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Jonbest:
Great news, really appreciate all the work you fine people are putting in :)

I installed the latest 4.3 Omnirom on my TF300T 2 days ago (first custom rom ever)

Definitely a speed improvement on stock. For some reason the wifi was a bit flaky at work whenever I was in an area with many different wireless networks. But at home or anywhere that there was only 1 or two networks its been fine.

Loving the multi screen feature:good:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Buster99:
checknif you have "avoid poor connections" ticked in the wlan menu.

could be that there was too much chatter on the airwaves.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Jonbest:
Hi Buster99,

I think it must have been the "chatter" also. There are 8-9 wifi networks in the office all at very high strengh. The APs are in the room....Its not an issue though as it is only a tablet for home use rather than work. Just thought i'd mention it as its the one thing i've found to be different.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:
TF300t is listed in the Omni website as supported device but still no nightlies for it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
That is because we do not have wifi working on kitkat.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
Got any idea what the problem is yet scanno?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
No idea what so ever. I am stopping my attempts. I am out if ideas.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
Oh dear shame mate must be such a headache. I PM'd Xplodwild and he said he would take a look at it but I guess he hasn't had time yet. Thanx for your hard work though. Hope xplodwild finds time and of course an answer soon.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:
Ah ok.

Sucks support for this device is really low.

It will die out soon but cant really afford a new tablet.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Just spoke with XplodWild (on the #omni IRC channel) and he will try to have a look at it again. I have uploaded my attempt to get wifi working on my github (at least the kernel changes).

I have read that other devices switched to the bcmdhd driver and I have tried to get the latest bcmdhd driver working. The problem is that the firmware dies not get loaded.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
OK that's awesome you guys are doing great work I'm sure it will get sorted. Shame I'm so excited for kitkat. Have to keep telling myself kitkats only been out a month.

Really hope Xplodwild can do this be awesome to finally see your work

For the record the support for this device is not really low.

Found something that might be the cause of the firmware not loading. That does not mean wifi is working though when the firmware is loaded. But it is a step forward.

Love it scanno. Never give up!!!!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] hardslog:
Are you kidding me? We have like 8 or 9 roms for this device. For a non-nexus tablet that's pretty darn good if you ask me. My other tablet (that just died this week *sob!) has only one fully functional rom and that's on Android 4.1!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:

PAC

CM

and this.

Others dont get udates anymore.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
Sorry dude but your comments sound ungrateful unless you yourself are contributing
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
There will be updates to all other ROMs as soon as WiFi is fixed and pushed to the repositories. Just wait and see ;)

As soon as there is a working kernel / device tree other devs will use it and change / improve it. Hopefully contributing back.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:
:eek:

I was just stating my opinion on the fact devs leave the tablet as its ageing and not that good anymore. So we loose support for the roms they made, its not thier fault I know. Im not being ungreatful...check out my support in the HTC One and before that HTC Sensation forums.

Back on topic now.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] matt1500:
OK fair enough. No probs mate. Once out tablet is on KitKat I feel like I will be set up for another year or so.

Scanno it's great to hear you talk positively about it. Hope we get there soon. Maybe Xplodwild will come to the rescue soon.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:
Good luck scanno!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ajestapaknaga:
just wanna say, grateful to scanno and other devs who have been do such a really hard work to make it better and to make it happen. keep it up guys. we're here behind to support.

Hey [MENTION=905572]scanno[/MENTION] I really mean this: Thank You very much for your work!!!

I believe that sometimes the users forget that dev are people like us, witha LIFE apart from android and it´s development. And many times, devs use their spare time to bring us all kind of wonders.

So, if you have other things to do in your life, go ahead. Obviouslly they are more important and relevant.

The user have to learn to wait and to be gratefull, otherwise, maybe they don´t deserve the outputs of your great work.

Again, thank you very much. If KK comes in the future so it be, if don´t it would´nt be the end of the world.
