So I just made my purchase and lookin forward to getting this tablet. 1st tablet ever, yeah! I feel like I have a good grab on how to root, etc with my phone, so applying the same logic should be fairly simple.
However can anyone point me in the right direction of what to do first in order to get a custom ROM on this baby. I'm assuming rooting, (links would be helpful)
Also, which is the best of the best ROM wise to run? Any major differences between the many released here on XDA?
Thanks again in advance
Also, I heard about this nvflash, is this is just failsafe to install that clockwork just won't help with? When does nvflash have to be performed?
Z4Root for rooting if you're going to stay with the stock rom.
ClockworkMod .8 if you're going to want to flash other roms (that already come rooted).
I'm a VEGAn 5.1.1 fan so I may be biased but in my opinion it's fast and reliable and looks great. I watch videos I've ripped, read books/magazines/comics, play games, and access my work computers with my gTab.
chugger93,
Please search. There are numerous threads regarding the differences between ROMs, which ones are better and why.
In the developer section you will see stickies regarding every ROM, nvflash, CWM. These stickies not only have the download, but also how to install, and pages and pages of problems that people have answered.
And yes, nvflash is a failsafe for if you screw something up by not following directions. Sometimes I wish I could use nvflash on users in this forum so they would be able to go back and read before posting a question that has been asked a hundred times before.
In fact...this is the first thread in this section which you posted, yet still felt the need to ask:

Here's my thoughts on your response;
Firstly; No matter how many times you ask people to stop posting questions it's in stickies. It's still going to happen. People don't want to read, just like they barely read their emails at work and respond. It's a vicious cycle, and one that you or anyone else isn't going to change. It sucks, I know, but I've been administering forums for years upon years, and I still can't control it.
Secondly; If people would just respond to the questions being asked (since it is a forum) rather than typing a book on how to use the search, people like myself amongst many others would stop posting so much.
Thirdly; Unless stickies get updated (which some of them arnt I see...) technology meaning roms and such, are ever changing. So who's to say that any of that information in that sticky is even relevant or updated anymore?? Riddle me this
Case and point: Just answer peoples questions and move on. It's why we are all here to help one another. Thank you
So because people insist on not reading first we should be obligated to helping them anyway even tho a simple search reveals 95% of the answers? The point is to get people to look for the answer first instead of clogging up the forum with yert another worthless thread like this one. It's a developer forum not tech support. And yes it would be easier to just answer this question for the 100th time but after having answered it for the 50th time its more fun to try and get others to be shamed into searching first.
For those posting in this thread, figured it would be a good idea to remind all about the forum rules you accepted when you joined XDA:
FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 New Members: Treat new members the way you would have liked to have been treated when you were a new member. Provide the new members with guidance, advice and instruction always with respect and courtesy.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
Cmon, you can't have development without tech support. Its like saying you can't have bread without butter. The two just go together. If ur going to develop, expect support because its your product. Furthermore, questions arnt worthless nor stupid, just somones lack of knowledge and experience that you may have to give onto others. Additionally; searches may yeld several methods or answers, not just one. So again, my lack of experience may come in the form of a question, such as this thread to better equip myself with the right or successful answers.

The difference here, is that this is a community-supported forum. XDA is not about "tech support" in the traditional sense, more in users-helping-users. It is important to search before doing anything - and to pursue many of the answers given to find the one that works in your situation. To see multiple answers and then decide to not pursue any of them because there are too many is not helping the community as a whole - and is against the very rules you agreed to upon membership.
All of your questions are answered in stickied threads which are in fact up to date for what you are wanting to do.

Lets have a healthy discussion about the Rule No 12. Maybe ccdreadcc can change the title of thread.
So you have to ask permission of the original developer to use his work. Does any anyone do that , does anyone ask Franco before using his kernel or does anyone ask mik andy ciaox or anyone for using their work.
And what does everyone think about this.

He used it with a few other chairs he found for free and a table to make a nice dining rom set. He brags to all his house guests about how I made the awesome chair.
What a douche that guy was. He never even knocked on my door to ask if he could take the chair. I called the police and had his whole dining rom confiscated and his drivers lisence suspended.
Justice was served that day.

- kernel is GPLed; no need to ask for any permission.
- as for the rest, I tried multiple times to ask $unnamed_dev how is his ROM licensed and got exactly zero useful answers.
Summary:
- when people do not bother to publish license with their code, they cannot wonder that their ROM or whatnot is deemed to be WTFPLed
- the rules are broken as well; there should be some implicit license in the first place which would cover the cases where people just do not care. Remember that (warning: annoying legal blurb ahead! ) strictly said, without license in many countries you are not even allowed to use the work, let alone modify/distribute it.
As was announced last week, Operation:Iron Fist is in full effect. Read about it here.
With that being said, the following will begin to happen:
1. All non-development threads started in the Development section will be moved to the appropriate section and/or closed and the "responsible" poster (in quotes because the fact they posted in the wrong section clearly brings into question whether or not they are responsible) will be infracted.
2. Any abusive posts directed at any user will be deleted and the abuser will be infracted and/or given a temporary vacation. Multiple instances will result in a longer leave-of-absence, and if it continues you will be removed from XDA. You, and your behavior, are not welcome at XDA.
3. Any off-topic posts in the Development section threads will be deleted. These are non-helpful, and certainly not development posts. This includes the following:
"OMG THIS IS SO GREAT!"
"WOW! YOU ROCK AND I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!"
"THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!"
"THANKS FOR THIS!"
If you want to thank someone for their work, do so by clicking the "THANKS" button on their post.
4. Any post, in any section, that is done to further post count will be deleted and you will face possible infraction.
5. Anything else that goes against the XDA Forum Rules and XDA Mantra will be dealt with firmly, but fairly.

This thread isn't a Development thread, it should be moved to General.
Nah, seriously now - this was needed a long time ago! Hopefully it's kept to.
This is not a complaint, but asking for clarification. i would like to ask a few questions..I read your iron fist policy and this post is not in any violation.
I read the comments on roms to see if I would like to download a rom. And if I see a positive comment then I might consider downloading it. If i get the policy of iron fist correctly, a post such as
Thanks, smooth and fast. Keep up good work.
The above little post is grounds for disiplinary actions? It tells me somebody else thought it was favored, smooth and quick. A thank you does not tell tell us the reader, how in the heck a rom operates. I will then go into a thread, and see only stuff that does not work, since any positive feedback does not represent development issues but bug posting represents development issues. How in the heck do we then tell the developer our views without getting in trouble. I understand the main issue of cracking down on trolls and flames, but in all honesty, iron fist should be called iron wall becuase we now have censorship on on a so called open forum. If i where to say to xyz developer anything positive to give him kudos and some words of encouragement which is just as valuable as anything else, we are not allowed. Since being positive and giving support to a developer does not matter in a personal and friendly way, when only a thank you button. These developers need positive feedback also..

This is not an open forum. Trying to keep the development threads clear of pointless posts is not censorship. Post in general if you want to post "OMG.....I want to marry you". The devs themselves are the ones who want the development threads kept cleaned up. They don't want to sift through 10 pages of posts telling them what a god they are to find the 1 post post that tells them that "X" doesnt seem to work when doing "Y". Most of the ASUS devs are on Freenode IRC (#asus-transformer) everyday. Jump on and tell them in person as long as they aren't actually helping someone. Most say "Thanks" and tell you to hit the "Thanks" on their thread. They don't say "Please post another 'I wanna have your baby' post in my thread"
When a thread reaches 1000 posts and 900 of them are "Thanks to you I can solve world hunger now", no dev is gonna wanna waste his time trying to find the bugs people find. The devs time is better used deving and not digging.
This is xdadevelopers not xdacustomerservice or xdaiwannahaveyourbaby. The developers run the show and make our devices so much more fun to use. So let them dev
Both sides have a valid point. There must be a way to satisfy both needs. Perhaps the design of the "general forum" needs to be updated to adapt to the changing needs of the online community. Remember, both sides have the same goal.

Brush up on the XDA Mantra and understand what XDA is about.
In the Development threads, post only what is relevant to development - and "HEY! I flashed XYZ and it works great! You're the best!" is NOT relevant for discussion. End of story.
Hitting THANKS "should" be an indicator to someone that the development project in question is like. But, even so - this isn't really for the users. The developers post their work to share, but do so for themselves not you. Anything you do is at your own risk.

XDA is about developers (READ: XDA-DEVELOPERS) not users. We exist to facilitate development - not support. So the rules in place are for Development.

Thank you for this. Will this also apply to people who ask the same questions that have already been answered in the thread?
Possibly the most annoying thing is perusing through pages of threads to see the same question asked and repeatedly answered. The one that comes to mind currently is the screen dim on the options window and the circle pointer. It seems like those questions get asked and answered on nearly every page of the Prime 1.7 thread.

This does apply - though it is harder to enforce meaning the community needs to assist the moderators in addressing these issues. You can report these posts and we can address them as they come in. We are also working on fixing our RP system.

Making it easier to report posts, you mean? That would definitely be a good improvement; I went to report a post using abusive language a few days back, and ended up not doing because I didn't have time at that moment to jump through hoops with finding out who to contact, then typing a message to them. I doubt I'm alone in skipping doing so.
If reporting a post was as easy as leaving thanks, I bet a lot more folks would be helping the mods. In fact, a two-click system might be nice. Slightly more complicated than the thanks button, but it would also help the mods prioritize which reports to check. The site visitor could click report, then click the type of issue they're reporting (abusive language, off-topic, post in wrong section, requesting warez, whatever). Then the mod's queue of posts to check sorts the most severe infractions (asking for warez, foul language, etc.) above lesser ones (off-topic, posting in wrong section, etc.)
Something else that might be helpful to mods would be for the system to automatically track how many reports any given member has made, and what percentage have been incorrectly reported. Members with a lot of false positives could sort to the bottom of the mod's queue, and members who reliably report bad posts could filter to the top for prompt action... Something like that might also be helpful when XDA was looking for new mods to help with the site -- the folks who did the most positive reporting might prove to be good candidates for new moderators.
It may be a stupid idea - but could you give thread creators moderation privileges in their own threads, even if it is only in development?

Not something that can happen. Recognized Developers can open/close their own threads - but moderation pieces of deleting posts, etc. just can't happen. But thanks for the thought and idea.
How about the developer create a thread in Development section and called it "ABC - Bug Report" and another thread in General called "ABC - Discussion".

The way to handle this, and what I am working on implementing but takes awhile, is to have the Developer post a thread in Q&A for that dev work and then all bugs, etc. are in the actual development thread.
I'm a fairly noobish guy who has been following a thread just closed. Not new enough to be unaware of all the basic 'copyright' or GUI rules that unfortunately pervade all this work, but I don't understand the process. If someone posts something without giving proper credit for the original code developer (whatever you call yourselves), are they asked to provide this information or is the thread closed on a dime? It would be nice to know there is a little time given to some developers who work as hard as they do to fix an omission or error and not spend MORE time proofing there postings to ensure everyone down to the creator of the alphabet is given proper credit. Is there someone working with Apple here? Are threads immediately locked or is there a due process?
I have followed XDA for years now and the trend that has been developing is sad. I'm not saying inappropriate, because all hard work deserves its due, but what is the time frame for notifying the thread poster and closing it down?
What is more sad is all this does is make everyone look to expose everyone elses mistakes instead of building a community of developers who share and help the whole android community thrive...which is what the web site USED to be about.
This almost makes me want an Iphone....almost.
I would say pm a mod for more details, but from my understanding, a user files a complaint. A mod looks into the complaint and uses pm to contact the dev to remediate the issue. If the offense is bad enough or the dev doesn't respond, the thread is locked until it can be fixed. If the dev repeatedly offends or doesn't fix the issue, the thread is deleted as a last resort.
As users, it seems like the thread is just locked or deleted, but there had been a lot of behind the scenes work that's happened before it gets to that point.

I'm guessing that means newt closed it? I have no idea!!
Newt has said on another thread that the sense 5 thread will be open soon!
Sent from my Droid DNA running Sense 5.0
Probably either that or that... my guesses but idk why... maybe something HTC related?
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.

12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
