Hello,
My Prime developed a strange white blotch on it's screen and I am replacing it with a new one. Is there an easy way to make the new tablet have all the same apps, settings, and files as the old one? Basically, can you make a pefectly identical twin?
Thanks
If you're rooted then use Titanium Backup.
I'm not rooted, but will do it if Titanium backup can make a perfect clone of my tablet. It does that?

Perfect clone no. Nothing will will unless you're unlocked and restore a nandroid backup.

Unlocked? Meaning root the tablet?
Edit: Nevermind. You mean the bootloader...duh.
There is probably no clone without root and unlock.
However you can backup it with google account.
When you logged your new one with this account and choose restore your backup it should download and install your apps. Also some settings can be restore with google account.

Alternatively, you can use the ASUS backup apps to backup non-system apps.
Copy backup data to the new PRIME then you restore them by using the ASUS Backup app.
Hopefully it will be helpful.

I can't believe there isn't a simple way to do this. If I accidentally drop my tablet in the ocean, I should be able to buy a new one and restore everything exactly as it appeared on the old one (assuming I made a backup before bidding it bon voyage). This capability should be built into the OS.

Obvious troll is obvious. -5/10, at least try to troll successfully. Maybe you should get that giant phallus out of your mouth and actually try thinking for once.

No, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to troll anyone and I seriously hate Apple and don't own a single Apple product for that reason. This is the first time my Prime hasn't been significantly better than all my friend's iPads. I forgot that it can be a touchy subject around here and probably shouldn't be joked about. Again, I apologize.
I honestly thought there would be a perfect solution and simple process for accomplishing this. Maybe there is and I just haven't found it yet. Unless anyone else has a suggestion, I will try the suggestions from [email protected] and prettyboy85712. Thanks guys.
jdeoxys, your reaction was a little over the top. With the giant phallus comment and all. Overlooking that part, I understand your comment.

No, it was clearly troll comment. Apple was not mentioned in the op so that means you were trYing to elicit replies which constitutes trolling
Sent from my tf9001 with XDA XD.
Now that you explain it that way, I think you are completely right. Again, I'm sorry for my troll comment. I'd like to remove it so the thread can go back on topic. Would you be willing to remove your comments as well so the thread can be something useful?
I can star Rate ***** but not add comment on Android market
(Not that important) but
I cant seem to add a comment if i rate an app
I can star Rate ***** but if i add a comment the s3 greys out the 'ok' button
What is that about
Have i been banned form commenting on android market?
Not unless you did something very bad but even if you did, I'm sure you would have been notified earlier if you would have been banned from Google.
I have a Rezound but found this thread in search. I have the same exact problem as you. This didnt happen until after I got the OTA ICS update last night. Can't leave a comment as the Ok box grays out as soon as I start typing.. as soon as I delete all my text, OK can be clicked..whats up with that?

I solved it by typing in both boxes. It's not 100% obvious at first.
Title and comment boxes need to be filled for the ok button to work.
Hope this helps

Ahh damn...im such a tool! lol... That was it. Thank you much! I dont know how I even missed that. Its the new plain bare format that is missing the shadowing and borders...crappy design.

OP) updated 120619.Post 5) updated 120617. Any help you can contribute is highly welcome. I will keep you updated while working on it and give access for everyone "as is".
1v02.0) Premiss:
1.1.v01.0) Intent of this thread:
- to create a common basis and "reckognized" guideline for a standardised
Code:
setup from scratch of the Asus TF201 for everybody. So user utilising this thread as a tool either (hopefully) enjoy their device afterwards and never come back here, or they are able to compare results and actions of their tf201 on referencing ground and nail its presumable weak spot
- to develop some testing scenarios and simple test environments for home, on the road and wherever for reproducable results.
- with the aim to make experience vary less and gain substantial test-results throughout the community
- to give every member of XDA the possibility to contribute scientific information to the highly qualified and overworked Asus staff
- to laugh about your jokes and be happy when I go to bed a little later than my beloved ones
- there could be other useful or nice sideeffects out of the initial blast and future on topic fussing as some intelligent members already have proven in this thread.
1.2.v01.0) Backgroundinformation
Due to the preliminary confusion caused by my intuitive and snappy approach and some second thoughts I acknowledge my noobness and apologize to everybody psychologicaly involved in it. I wanted to make this going quickly but then I am not a very quick thinker, I guess. So you see my dilemma. I see we are already on track and comments until today made me wonder if I should get rid or change my FAQ and posts archive. I figure my system limits it naturally.
The thread might get reorganised during times as I try to keep up with you guys who cannot resist posting. Great it probably will be easier than I thought.
But since also my days end regularly I just hope the hype ends. Any good findings and pinpointing bull, that's cool gals and will lead eventually to something usable.
Remind you: the quicker you post, the more I fall behind and struggle with ideas and facts. So I'd rather have you pm me.
But I surely do appreciate your criticism, corrections of facts or corrections of my hillbilly english or any comment. I want this a real fun tool as I plan to spend some time with it. Obviously there will be a lot of noobness and room for misunderstandings and -interpretions. I am looking forward to the discussion and every single post. Since I am used to fall behind.
- My (If) call for help or feedback will be on top of this post.
- The elementary information starts in post #2
- Hot spot is post #3
- Threadhistory in post #4
- My (If) feedback on your feedback is in post #5.
- My status is in post #6
1.3.v02.1) Note:
As people seem to be shy and feel uncomfortable when explicitly asked to pm and not to post I apologise and hope many replies will put that guide together quickly. Personally I still prefer pms especially if you want me to fled off, I have stolen your ideas or you don't like the color of my hair: Please, pm me. If you don't like my language, well I am no native but trying to be substantial and open for accurate corrections. I leave post #6 which shows my preferences, as a booby-trap for trolls and whinners. Of course you can post in my thread but only on topic Read post #6 and be warned. Any comment on post #6 exposes itself and saves me a lot of time. Let's see if this works how I figured it out vaguely.
P.S.
And you know all this stuff about reliabilty. Devices vary, so no guarantee yours doesn't blow up. If it breaks, sorry it happens. Mine's still alive and as quick as it can run on the presumably wrong stock code. Let me cite antutu which scores around 13200 points on 1.28. Around 1500 Points more than the previous build. By no means I will say this is the only way of checking, testing and setting up your tf201 or that I am always right. But I am convinced if you let me put my hand on the flamed devices I would fix most of the so called software-flaws and bugs people are experiencing. Software is x'n'o's and works potentionally forever if it works. It will do the same on any similar sister hardware. If you change or add something within this software or add another software, there will be hundreds of ways the original software can brake. Unfortunately only a few to get back to normal.
So read my contribution to the thread: If you are stuck with your problem: Go for that pinhole next to the microsd-card. It works wonders. Turn off the device by pushing the pin for 30 seconds and then wait for the boot. Do a reboot, maybe two and you hopefully be better. To be sure: start from scratch following this thread when it's here. Everything mentioned in my posts is based on my personal experience with the tf201 and other devices, the huge amount of information in xda or elsewhere and input from real cracks and specialists which hopefully join in.
Maybe I ridicule myself, so be it. I give it a go and guess that's fine with the mods too since this will be a joyride for them too!
2) Prerequisits:
- Electricity
- Transformer Prime TF201, stock rom
- Asus ac-connector
- Asus usb-cable
3) Setup (draft):
Whenever you start playing with a new tf201 and a new softwarerelease or rom:
Let the device start up, and first of all make sure you do a reset. By pushing a pin into the pinhole next to the microsd-card slot for 30 seconds you will get rid of old os-intern data debunked all over your device without loosing any of your downloaded progs or added data.
- After this you get a clean start and all os specific values and parameters are deleted. The clean os now is freshly pushing required data to the different services and applications in the appropriate manner it requires it.
- Now make sure you let your device reboot twice and start every loaded application once to set it up as requested.
- Reboot one more time. The tf201 is now ready to work/ play/ cuddle.
(This is how it should be. Experience varys as tf201 do).

I agree with the "First Poster" First you come in and insult the forum saying it is "missing solid ground", then grab a bunch of space to "go at your own pace"?
You created a thread for your "Todo" list? And started it up without contributing anything to the forum, and tell us we can't post to the thread, that it's a soapbox for you and only you? Seriously, why DON'T you start a blog on the Transformer Prime (to go with the 800 others out there) and DON'T post a link. I could understand if you had some great info to put up, and wanted to add to it later, but this is plain useless. Now please delete my post.
There is LOTS of information regarding "Setup and Testing" of TF101, going back over 6 months. Did you try seraching the forum, or is it you are not interested in what anyone else has to say, but rather just what YOU plan to post... later... when you get around to it - (the suspense is killing people everywhere.) in a General Info Forum... where you have yet to post anything remotely useful...
hmmm.

While I like your idea, two things that you should know/correct:
-You dont need to hold the soft reset pinole for 30 seconds, once it's push it does the same thing.
-Pushing the pinhole resets the way Prime, however, this fresh boot will only last for a short period of time. So, any apps that were giving you isses before, will give you the SMAME issue again. This has been discussed already and proven. The I/O schedule is also not fixed by simply pushing the pinhole, it's just "started over"
You should copy confirmed working info from throughout the avaialble threads if you are trying to help people, tht will be more benificial for "new owners. The Prime's main issue seems to stem from the I/O scheduler, plus a few incompatible apps, so people observe which apps causes issues and remove them. Also, the next update "should" fix the I/O issue by giving priority to the foreground running applictions.
The Pin-hole in our Primes doesn't get rid of any OS Data, it is just a way to reset the Prime in a hardware-fashion since we cant remove the battery. If the OS completely freezed a software reset wont work, and since we have no way of remove the battery a solution had to be implemented
The Cold Boot option in the boot menu is pretty much just like turning the Prime off and then turning it on again. So far I'm not ware of a way to clear all caches with a Stock Prime.
If you are unsure, turn off the Prime, and measure the time it takes to boot when using pin hole option, cold boot option and normal. If any cache would be deleted it would take twice the time, since it would be building all the Dalvik/Cache files again. As far as I know, it always takes the same time to boot up, doesnt matter which option you choose.

I'm still resisting the urge so I will not be flaming here, nor sending you a pm but will pm the mods to try to get a reduction in this sort of rubbish posting....

Hi! I joined to ask for help. I'm a new Android user, and some things seem new or strange, in general quite nice. But this thing happened to me today and I am quite worried.
So my bank sent me a text message yesterday with a pin for my credit card. After 24hours, I get a second message stating the previous had been deleted. How did they have access to my messages? how did they delete it? Can I do anything to prevent things like this from happening again?
I do not feel in control of my device. They say "it was for your security", but I never asked for my data to be destroyed for the sake of my security. This cannot be acceptable. They should have asked.
Please help!

Hello guys
some of us are facing some battery issues (sudden shutdowns,abnormal drain,abnormal charging etc) like me.
i never believed it was a hardware issue,and i still dont.
my axon 7G had b23 stock firmware + latest gpu drivers from raysteff.
i was thinking to try gsi again so i went to twrp and connect it with usb to make some backup transfers.My battery was 48%,after the backup i opend the display and battery shows 62%.
I flashed twrp treble from nfound,wiped everything and rebooted in edl and flashed nfound vendor partition trough miflash.Boot in twrp,Now my data was somehow encrypted and i decied to cancel the unlock and flash o b12 bootstack from nfound.Reboot to twrp again and data still encrypted,again i canceled the operation.I went to look at data partition and it shows the partition is emmc (yes finally again).I am thinkin a long time the battery issues are related to wrong emmc readings.(because the emmc never showd up anymore in that time i complained about battery % issues,even when i went to stock etc)
i continue flashing gsi+treble and will report how the battery act now.
booted my treble gsi system on 57%...when booted the system shows 49%....dropped to 47% in 1 minute and now its already like 10minutes on 47%. I know a first boot dont need 8% of the battery.Im 99% sure our phone are reading bad emmc stats but how can we find proof
MOD edit: Disrespectful towards developers! It always did before (before los15 etc)i even changed battery.

Seems like to me if you don't like these ROM's or appreciate what is freely given with no guarantees you should go back to stock. That is unless you really enjoy complaining, even though, no else cares to hear it.

I just read through your first post twice, and you are terribly confused. I don't understand if you are trying to work out battery issues or encryption issues, and I don't think you know what the term emmc means. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this thread?
You've been given proper help and were taken seriously already, but you never gave any piece of advice a proper chance, and you certainly never received any help without immediately insulting the person helping you. If you think everyone you've grouped under the word "devs" are conspiring to only give you buggy software, maybe don't flash literally everything you come across without understanding how it works.

well, you said it. I'll tell you what you should do.
First of all, you should have checked whether the new battery was actually good before deciding it was fine. Since you're on a pretty bad situation already, I say you bite the bullet and buy a charge meter from Amazon or ebay. should cost less than $5, i'll leave a link down below for you to find one similar wherever you are. Just be sure that it displays mAh as there are some that only display V and mA. With this and offline charging you will have a much more precise way of knowing the state of your battery. This will be decisive and you'll be able to brag around that your problems are not caused by battery degradation ONCE YOU HAVE THE EVIDENCE. If that's the case, of course.
(Btw, you might still be in warranty, in that case you can send the battery back and they'll send you another. If your battery was stowed at very low voltage, it could have lost its capacity even before you got it).
That's on the hardware side of things. Even though i (and almost everybody else) don't believe that you have a software problem, if you want to be sure that it's not something that the BAD EVIL DEVS11!!1! did you can just brush up on which partitions are supposed to not be changed (like the persist), which partitions are flashed by an EDL package, and investigate on whichever lie in the middle (i.e. since you said an EDL flash didn't fix your supposed software problem, the two options are a. your battery is bad or b. the partition that has the bad, evil files is not rewritten by EDL).
Then ask for someone that's never went to custom ROMs for their whatever partition backup and flash it.
I don't think anybody is going to disagree with me that this is the most obvious way to clear this up. Also, if you simply ignore this and not do anything like you usually do, you'll lose even more credibility here even though you already have none. You asked for help, now use it and report back in a non-inflammatory way if possible.
btw, link to a battery meter

@Choose an username...: You are obviously clueless, by stating that persist is not supposed to be changed. You shouldn't format it, because it will remain empty and not repopulate, and caution should be taken when modifying its' contents. An empty persist will result in things like autorotate not working, sensors (GPS, etc), not working, perhaps an an inability to boot.
Unlike the system partition, persist is mounted as writable by default and isn't subject to dm-verity or system write restrictions, any file manager running with root authority can change its' contents. This applies not just to the A7, but by pretty much all phones that have a persist partition (nearly all). It is very much like data/cache except it is mainly used and written to by the Android OS behind the scenes, and isn't accessible to unrooted users.
I am of the opinion that @Predatorhaze's issues are mostly due to misinformation given to him by others, bad practices by him, and maybe a failing battery. The EMMC chip inside the device (it is a block storage device containing partitions, metadata, bootloader, etc) is mist likely fine. When it begins to fail that means your phone is on the way out and can only be fixed by installing a new motherboard. You will experiences symptoms like crashes, failure to boot, loss of data, seemingly random issues and other misbehavior.
Your logic is also sorely lacking, you can't lose what you dont have (addressing your reference to losing credibility when there is none).
You really don't know as much as you think you do. I wonder how many people have been tricked by your advice regarding battery calibration.
You call me clueless but wiping persist partition and then reboot,its all fine.files are back.I tried this because I have a persist backup to restore,but I didn't had to.
But thanks for answers
,you already told this.I even replaced battery. Voltages look weird too before and after.
It goes to warranty and never zte again
@Predatorhaze: Sure.....and I'm the one who provided you with that backup copy. Did @Choose an username... and others from Schwifty Telegram recommend you delete/format persist contents? Probably they did, but as a joke. I don't call that helping someone. When I was there they did mention that they told you to do a "deep wipe" (low level format of the EMMC chip and all its' partitions and their contents). And they said that you did so.
They clown you behind your back like you're nothing, if I were you I'd stop listening to them or taking any advice they offer. Admittedly, you brought some of it on yourself, though.
If I post in any thread then I'm just trying to help, I don't get kicks by trying to help someone do something that will wreck their phones. You can take my posts as constructive criticism.

Nope not once did anyone recommend him to wipe his persist and no one would ever recommend a deep wipe. Know your facts before pointing fingers. You are just as low as him. He came into the group asking for help, we gave him all the advice then he started bashing. He went ahead and did his own thing came back and said he did a "deep wipe" which is probably why he has all these issues now. We stopped supplying him help because he just runs his mouth just like you. Im glad I moved on from this phone. People like you and him ruin the dev community for phones.
@SaintZ93: Yeah sure I ruin dev communities...by donating money to devs that deserve it, providing constructive criticism and feedback in their threads, encouraging them to keep up the good work instead of constantly complaining, posting issues/bug reports on GitHub etc. I totally respect your work as a dev, Schwifty is solid. But with that said, I do remember with 110% certainty that @Choose an username... said that you guys jokingly recommended he do a deep wipe, he took it seriously. Too bad I didn't keep screenshots of the chat, then there would be proof.

@Choose an username...: You are obviously clueless, by stating that persist is not supposed to be changed. You shouldn't format it, because it will remain empty and not repopulate, and caution should be taken when modifying its' contents. An empty persist will result in things like autorotate not working, sensors (GPS, etc), not working, perhaps an an inability to boot.
Unlike the system partition, persist is mounted as writable by default and isn't subject to dm-verity or system write restrictions, any file manager running with root authority can change its' contents. This applies not just to the A7, but by pretty much all phones that have a persist partition (nearly all).

Lol. you're just grasping at how little there is...
Persist shouldn't be changed after the phone comes out of the factory, because it contains some sensor calibration files. i'm not saying it doesn't ever get written, and i literally said below that line that he could even try getting a brand new persist backup from another phone because that's probably the best he can do (assuming he hasn't got one from his own phone)

Mike's right, it's an inside joke because he deep wiped the phone and said it made his phone detect two batteries. guess you remember wrong

so, you ignored me completely. Your battery being new doesn't mean that it didn't arrive trashed to your door.
Good, though. Swap the axon for something else, and call it a day

This is why people need to know their facts like I said before pointing fingers and blaming us for stuff we didn't say or do, preferably you Anon. Hope you stand corrected now.
@Choose an username...: You win there. But your logic is still screwed, because I wasnt even present during that convo. Those screens are from way before I ever showed up. When I said I recall, that logically means I would have had to be there, regardless of whether the memory is incorrect or not. And since you admit that it was an inside joke, that basically means you were trying to help him screw over his phone.
I really couldnt help busting out laughing after looking at the pics, @Predatorhaze dug his own grave. I mean, he mentioned deep wipe so many times, it's as if something was compelling him to do it. Clearly his own idea.
@Predatorhaze: Do yourself a favor, go smash your phone repeatedly with a hammer, at least then you can save yourself from listening to the advice of members that don't care to help anyway. There are newer phones out there, move on.

may I ask, what logic is screwed now? You said I told Ter that, then a) we told you you were wrong, nothing more than that, and b) i sent screenshots proving that Ter was the one to jump on the deep wipe train. i never told you you should have known, which is what i assume you are peddling around here
@Choose an username...Are you *THAT* dumb? Since I wasn't there at the point during your screens, then I couldnt possibly know what was said then. I was recalling from the time I was there (and he wasn't), what was said. So if you want to also dig up screens of that too...
