I'm asking because I see development only for the 5.0 version
May want to search a little more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377771
This was on the first page of the development forum, 4th one down (not counting the sticky threads)
Edit: Wait...What are you talking about you only see development for 5.0? The tread I linked you to you have replied to multiple times. Are you really not seeing what you are replying to or is your memory starting to slip?
I own the 4.0 version and I like it.
I own a 4.0, but it is my first Android device, so I am still learning how to hack and mod. There is Steve's kernal, which is about it as far as rom stuff. Custom roms seem a little overrated to me; first thing people ask when they get a device is "what's the best rom?". In truth, android is pretty darn easy to hack, modify, and theme without any rom so long as you can root. I guess some people are just to lazy/busy to figure it out themselves, so they wait for someone else to put the modifcations into a rom for them. My motto is if "if you want something done right, do it yourself".

i couldve swore i saw you excited when someone mentioned a cyanogenmod port....
Yea, cyanogen would be nice, but I'm getting sick of people posting and sending pm to me saying "what's the best rom for this?" and "where are all the roms for this?" Don't get me wrong, roms are nice, but going on and on about them instead of making them yourself is pretty rediculous!

MTP device error
Thought I would post this here in case anyone was having any trouble getting the Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1) to connect to Kies using Windows (I'm on 7, 32bit). It was for a Samsung phone model but it works for the Player also.

Here are the instructions on connecting your Samsung Wave GT-S8500 phone to Kies.
1. Close Kies
2. Remove phone and USB from PC
3. Select Samsung Kies under Settings > Connectivity > USB > Samsung Kies
4. Press and hold menu button on the phone > select 'end all applications'
5. Connect phone to USB
6. Connect USB to PC (I am running Windows 7 64 Bit)
7. Windows will automatically install MTP driver and opens up its own window to manipulate the contents of the phone
8. Now start Kies --> it will now recognize the phone
Done!
sorry to revive this old thread but can anyone explain why the 4.0 gets very little development 'progress'? I mean I remember the 5.0 got ICS in no time and is already om jb. it had to do with sources and samsung...right?

Don't know if it's the 4.0 that have little dev progress or just you that haven't seen the news since quite a while ago... we have JB 4.1 and a 3.0 kernel is in the works.
Also to answer your question I think you seem to forget a little detail. We're only 2 (or more like 1 and a half) compared to the 5.0 where's a they're 3 or 4.
I know that and maybe I'm not remembering correctly but I clearly remember there was some problem with porting ics to the 4.0 while it arrived a year before on the 5.0 and it had nothing to do with people involved. But then again I might be wrong

Looks rather neat honestly.
Yes that is what I meant lol, spell check for the win. I went to their site and looked at the devices supported and they had someone listed as an official Porter, but he said he could not help. I'm thinking we just gather a bunch of people who are also interested and see if we can't justify a reason for them to port it for us.

Dude, this makes me want a Galaxy Nexus even more... I can't see this working all to well on the Vibrant because of the lack of screen real estate... ROM looks sick though.. *sizzle* hawt!
Actually I think it would work just fine. I had added an early version of a tablet mod to my phone before and it worked fine for the most part.

Looks cool, but do any of you guys know if its been ported to the I9000 or even any other SGS device? Not the SGS2 but the original, if it has, it shouldn't be too hard to port it.

No I do not know that, according to the thread they are nearing the height of development and expect to be able to port it everywhere... Currently, only device they have taken it to is the Note.. This rom should catch on, I only threw that prior comment about screen size not allowing out there to get some attention.. Lol..

Yep, I understand. I was just saying that if it does get ported to the I9000, which if probably going to happen if it comes to the original SGS family at all, it won't take more than 20 minutes to port it, and thats with the upload time being like 10 minutes.

Ditto.. I have wanted something like this on my hardware since Honeycomb 3.0 but Google never released the source for that and the 3.0 ports for the Vibrant never made it off the ground... However, tablet mode on ICS implements UI elements from 3.0 and the API's and frameworks were released for 4.0.. This ROM is a stroke of genius with it's "Hybrid Mode".. My eyes are peeled with excitement!
Yeah hoping their next release is the milestone we need for a port. Just read o e of their nexus threads and their next release is supposed to be a game changer so keep your fingers crossed.

Guys, the Nexus S has been added under supported devices! They have a thread going over there!!
I'm not sure but I think the I9000 forums have a way of porting the Nexus S ROMS. Just hope I9000 gets it.
I was looking into it how they ported that Joy OS mod and Lewa OS mod but I have not had time to fully implement their techniques... They do seem to have ways..
Not everything can be done for us users but it would be great if this from would garnish some looks from some of our more seasoned devs..
I am considering rolling up my sleeves and messing with some packages on this one though if it is not picked up soon ...
why the hell not.. although....
That whole EU ICS error going around in the Cappy section is kinda scary though.. Very little coverage on these Vibrant threads outside of Moped mentioning it and one small topic...
That is the only thing that is freaking me out with flashing anything and moving away from my current setup...
The EU is a problem on vibrant also. If you go to the aokp thread you will see lots of people have gotten EU with the last build.

Yes, that is what is spooky about it.. Like I said earlier Moped_Ryder in our development section discussed his reservations about using any additional ICS rom in his thread for his rom due to the EU errors people with Vibrant and Cappys are having.. He also commented on a users topic who posted about a brick question in the Vibrant dev section which seems to be another EU error.
.. As I also stated earlier there is hardly any info/awareness outside of random posts here in the Vibrant section on XDA...
FYI
For anyone who gets a "reset phone" message on their Vibrant, whatever you do do not hit reset... Try restarting the device into recovery even with a battery pull without an external SD card plugged in.. I hear Odin back to stock is one thing to consider in case of these events or even using SlimIcs has proven to get the phone back up is but the internal sd may be gone so a etc/Vold.fstab editing may need to happen to boot off of external sd's...
Disclaimer... for anyone who had not read up on the EU errors Vibrant and Cappy owners are having, research it... EU stands for Encryption Unsuccessful and it seems too many data wipes may be the culprit.. many users have expressed going back to 2.2 and even Gingy in many cases, it seems to have less strain on our internal sdcards...
MP the developer of the Subzero kernel is also aware and looking into it perhaps being related to Kernel versions 3.X and up... This is something to keep an eye on folks... His effort is probably not a solitary one...
See more in these two guides...

actually google took honeycomb and completely married it to ice cream sandwich, the two are one. ics on a tablet is the same that runs on a phone. theres a tiny switch in there that acknowledges a certain display-lenght treshold and then it drops the entire UI into tab mode. this was known for a longtime but unfortunately it trashes your phone. hybrid mode means we have hooks and rewrites sitting on top of ics aosp code, we recompiled the framework, and this stuff makes tablet mode more flexible - you dont get overlapping, apps wont be too small, you can adjust fontsizes, you can switch an app from mobileUI into tabUI and back. PA on top of it gives support for things that still break, it has a fixed market for instance, a fixed keyboard, a fixed launcher, etc. its an all-in rom for this kinda stuff.
battlekry leaving this is your hands as I wouldn't even know where to start.

As for roms, just read the dev section and pick the one that sounds like it would work best for you. They all have their pluses and minuses, so choosing one for you is kinda silly...

Ignore them. You don't want a touch version of CWM to start off with. With the regular version, you can't screw up. There's up, down, and select.
You'll want to start by looking at the stickies in the development section.
When you think your ready....ignore the pull of your beautiful device, and all this gadgety hacker, and do a search for " how to use titanium backup ". Download the app, and do a batch backup of " backup all user apps + system data". This will backup almost everything. Your wifi passwords, your wallpapers, your settings, and even where you are in games and apps (in 99% of cases).
The best money you can currently spend is arguably the pro version, which allows you to do batch restores-- I.e. when you wipe your phone or move to a new ROM, or Update to a new version of the ROM, you can restore all of your apps at once, or even pick and choose them. These apps and settings will be backed up to your SD card, which will be untouched during flashes, rom installs, rooting, etcetera. With the free version, you have to do them one by one. The pro version also let's you backup to BOX.NET, Dropbox, or Google Drive. If you look around you can find a way to get 50 gigs free of Drop box space, the most popular cloud storage service right now. This is a must....if you ever water log your phone, corrupt your SD card, or something else, you'll always have a backup. You can also schedule backups to run while you sleep.
But after a night or two of reading and watching YouTube videos, you can head into the abyss (you'll have our support. Pm me if you need, as I get notifications when someone does....and I'm usually quick to respond).
But just follow these steps until you have Recovery installed, and have made a backup of the whole system (also known as a Nandroid).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223
After that, I'd recommend Flapjaxx ROM to start off with, because its a little like the Stock ROM, but has additional features that can be installed, or downloaded right from the phone. It also enables tethering.
Read here to freshen up join your terminology, but don't follow these instructions. The other ones seem easier to follow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483113
And lastly, here's FJ's ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
A ROM isn't necessary, however, because you can also just root and use the stock one.
On the first thread I posted, you'll want to read up and follow the steps in this order (I recommend the non touch version of clockwork mod so you can understand how the UI works, before you use a version that requires mastering use of the unlit soft keys on the bottom of the phone, and also introduces a couple variables, accidental and non accidental touches. Up and down, and enter are easy enough, and will get you familiar without increasing the chance to screw something up. Theoretically, they're the same. But bear with me.
On the first thread, follow steps:
1.
2.
3.
4a.
5a.
6a.
7.
8.
And then read the rest of the first thread. The second link I posted will help you decipher the language. Also, I'd spend the first two nights just reading, so you're COMPLETELY familiar with what you want/have to do. There are at least half a dozen flavours or Ice Cream Sandwich out, and you'll want to look in the development section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1496
Last all of the different ROMs, the screenshots, the features, and the comments, to fin what people like. Don't read into the negative comments and the issues too much however, and don't let them discourage you, because most of the issues that people have you'll A) never notice, because yoiull still be learning by the time they're fixed, B) won't bother you because they only involve doing specific things, and C) could be avoided by following the instructions closely.
Lastly, look up YouTube videos.
Search for "root att galaxy note Odin"
"flash PDA Odin"
" how to use clockwork mod"
"How to use titanium backup"
"androidcritics". (This guy does rom reviews on YouTube...he's a little young, but generally is real thorough....find his YouTube channel, and you'll be able to see what the most popular ROMs look like when they're installed and running on our device.
Lastly, if you like a really clean device, consider CM9 as a ROM, which is built from Google's open source code, and is built the way that Google intended android to be....it has no bloat ware (aside from a few must-have apps that our wonderful developers have decided are best used with their ROM), and is built to be customizable. For the moment the non-CM9 ROMs have a larger selection of mods, customization, Widgets, and apps, but CM9 really takes the cake. There are a couple downsides to CM9 though, and if you want me to elaborate, or would like a suggestion on a CM9 ROM (I've used almost every ROM ever made for our device) PM me, and I can come back to this thread, or talk to you in private.
Lastly again: Seriously. Don't be in a rush. Watch a ton of YouTube videos, and each time you do something (make a backup, root, install clockwork mod) read each thread, or watch each video 3 times. Let it sink in overnight, and then read 1 last time to make sure you have all the prerequisite files, and understand all of the steps.
And lastly, lastly, there are something like 4 versions of the galaxy note, including the international one. Ours has specific software. Using other version of the not e's software, or root/ flashing methods WILL brick your device! Everything you need is here, in this branch of the forum (look for i717 in the upper left hand corner before you follow any instructions...only follow instructions from, and watch videos from people who use the term "At&t galaxy note", "rogers galaxy note", or "sgh-i717" (sgh-i717r is the same).
I understand this is a lot, but it's all important. Feel free to ask questions (in the Q&A section of course) and plenty of us will be there to help you. Some people might flame you for not searching, but if the information in those threads that I linked to isn't clear enough, or you need more information, ignore them and ask. Everything you need is in the threads I gave you.

And next I just took my Nexus 7 out of its box (not sure what version of android its running yet) I have yet to even power it up.. i refused to turn it on without first asking you guys how i should set it up!
Unlike most women my age...i hardly use my phone for talking or texting. It's a work tool for me...i am a 'super nerd'. With that said....
I am looking for a bare-bones rom for my nexus 5, to remove everything I don't need. I will be using my Nexus 5 to test applications & provide a sturdy/fast/dynamic internet connection for my Nexus 7 tablet, which I will be using to test network enabled applications + do my general web surfing/emails/website testing etc. So which ROM for the nexus 5 is known for providing the best control of 3g/4g & also known for providing an uninterrupted/stable hotspot for other devices? I guess what im asking is which Rom's are known for being the 'network junky/hotspot techie' rom of choice...for both nexus 5 & nexus 7?
I will be providing all connectivity to the Nexus 7 from the nexus 5's network connection btw. Guess i could also word it as... "which rom turns my nexus 5 into the most stable router" And "which rom turns my nexus 7 into the leanest/most flexible internet communication device"

Best ROM choices are frowned upon here on xda, but I will say that I have used androids since the g1 and will always prefer stock android. If I want a very slimmed version that has all the customizations I need and no added garbage I tend to turn to slim Roms on the devices that support (which they support a good chunk of my devices including yours)
So if you have further questions on this I suggest asking in the n5 and n7 forums but be careful how you word your questions as a best ROM question will get the thread locked pretty darn quick
Best of luck!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As another user suggested, I think slim ROMs are good place to start. You can also remove any apps that you don't need/want from a stock ROM and get a pretty streamlined bit of kit.
I ended up deleting a couple of posts for being abusive. There is absolutely no place for personal attacks on xda. If you don't like something, either try your best to ignore it or report it to the moderators.
Thanks!

As we are up to kitkass 5.1 V22 now...
To keep up with the speed in which Tim does his Roms and the other developments (which are all good for TF201 Owners) and the support from other developers for Kernel creations and general Tweaks to keep this aging machine kicking.
This Thread is a place for those that are flashing and want to flash the TF300 version of Kitkiss with the Compatibility pack.
I am only doing this as there seems to be a lack of support from multi developers for this machine and so out of respect for the work that is done across the entire TF range. There should be no confusion on where to place your questions and hopefully get some answers to the versions of KATKISS, Kernels and Tweaks that others are doing to get the most of these once expensive little pieces of equipment.

DO not post in Tims TF300T thread unless it is TF300 related..respect the TF300 crew as the rom is developed and tested on their machines not the TF201,

- Screen tearing - As in tapatalk while writing in to posts.. will get screen tear.. slight jitter across the screen..
- TB wont restore into the F2Fs formatted machine - on mine it always gets stuck - have oipened a ticket with TB crew and will post back if there is a workaround and or fix on this..
- Flashing a TB made backup Zip takes forever to restore, but does work.. mine is around 280 apps and I just leave it until its done.. In recovery it will tell you that it is going to reboot in 5 seconds but mine doesn't, so I leave it for a while and then do a shut down and start.. it then runs with the Blue upgrading bar and the apps are installed. Note I dont restore "Data" just the apps..
My setup
Tims Katkiss 15b
Data ext4
Hardslogs 5.0 kernel
Tweaks..
Seeder.apk - set to aggressive
Home Launcher - Apex Pro
Apps 270 give or take a few..
Settings..
O/C 1700 min..370
Performance
Scheduler Noop
and this one for upgrades and FAQ's

I believe that the instructions are good for coming from stock, but as I was using Josh's CROMBi-kk, they were really not guiding.
This is how I installed on my TF201, coming from 4.4.4 (CROMBi-kk)
* Updated TWRP to 2.8 via "DEV branch" of @ne0zone75 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772093): I put it into USB Flash and updated within TWRP, using Install function
* Maybe that was not all needed, but I used F2FS to utilize the performance improvements mentioned by @dgcruzing. And to be on the safe side, I formatted "data" partition to F2FS, via Wipe->Advanced. Afterwards I followed guidance from @lj50036 : Go to Wipe////Format Data////Type yes. I waited all to be formatted and then checked once more that data partition was F2FS formatted.
* I copied @lj50036 KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip to home directory on my Ubuntu and pushed via the code:
adb push KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip /sdcard

Click to collapse
Note: If you are on Ubuntu, you need to start adb first as root (via sudo), then you can continue as normal user.
* Installed the ROM via Install menu of TWRP, in SDCARD, as pushed in previous step.
* Installed the Google Apps for Lollipop from this thread by @drewwalton19216801.
* When I wanted to reboot the device, TWRP asked if I wanted to install SuperSU, I did by swiping .
On CROMBi-kk I had used ext4 and my TF201 was booting real slow, around 10 minutes.
Now it boots lightning fast, less than 1 minute.
Thanks a lot to all contributors, mentioned and forgotten.
I hope that this post helps other people install this ROM.

You only need to format your Data partition to f2fs if you want to use f2fs. DO NOT format any other partitions f2fs. F2FS does provide enhanced performance overall but it is not necessary to use this ROM.
After booting into TWRP and doing a full wipe/factory reset, go back to Home, select "Wipe", "Advanced Wipe", check the Data partition ONLY, select "Repair or Change File System", "Change File System", select F2FS then format. Then reboot into TWRP and flash the ROM. It will select the proper file system upon installing.

... and it works fine with my tf201 (and lollipop).

Hey guys,
deleting 10kat seems to solve the reboot problem.
I did a factory reset and started with a fresh install of katkiss v.14b, gapps and compatibility pack. Before reboot I used file manager of trwp and deleted 10kat.
Playing around with the tablet more than an hour now, no reboot [emoji106]
No final prove but I think this is the right direction to look for...
Just a big THANK YOU to all of you for this great, friendly and helpful community [emoji122]

This one is a must if you are getting reboots, I was having a few and since I have got rid of this script, it has settled.. I haven't had time to look in to the script and see if it can be tweaked for the TF201T so at this stage its better to delete it..

Well it looks like you want the Q&A for katkiss, Its all yours ....
Thx Josh
Bit of a shame its come to this, Josh was offering a good version with his modifications making the compatibility with our TF201's better. The f2fs thing he did was beneficial too.
Yep really sad, josh 14B version was very solid, we where getting a better compatibility for our tablets and with f2fs speed was even more noticeable, thank you Josh for your efforts and good luck with the new thread dgcruzing, this post will probably be deleted but just wanted to say something.

Josh..
yes your post is true, I and many others just want the best most stable Rom for this machine..
My advise is to step back from the forums for a while as you seem to be a little to quick to jump on people with slightly snarky comments..(not just in the TF201 forum but across others too..remember your knowledge base is deepr then a normal user, As is mine so we tend to forget that the "public, blebs and general mums and dads dont want to dig as deep as we do)
Note : This thread is out of respect for you and also Tim..
In your thread you have done a good job of supplying a modded version, I take my hat off to you..And as stated you only want people to ask questions in that thread about that modded version..also you have stated that you are stepping back to concentrate on your other work..
Which once again all I have is respect.
But its not a debatable request, you have made your thread just on your modded version and so the title should reflect this, as stands, it makes people uncomfortable asking questions about Tims version and turns the thread into a bit of a **** fight as really your opening OP is not clear on these points...
Also as I have HUGE respect for Tim and the work he has done and have been on his work from early TF101 days.. I felt that the TF201 users should also benefit from others inputs across the board and not be locked into just one thread on the available Roms that are out there..
Really I shouldn't have to answer a comment like yours and you shouldn't have posted it as really all this thread is doing is repecting your wishes..
Can't have your cake and eat it as well as they say..
OK..just for clarification...
As a community that gets both inputs and contributions by members I would expect this thread to be about the Topic in the OP..
Any user on any Lollipop ROM can feel free to ask questions and those that are playing around on this machine can give their feed back..
So keeping it on track..
I just formatted data back to F2Fs...she's a tempimental little machine this one.. Even thru google play is updating it with the backuped apps..it doesn't want to open google play.. Thus looks like I am going to have to flash gapps again..
You would think that once you format and restart..as it goes thru the new startup procedure as in asks you your Google account details that it would have everything ready to go..
But it seems there is something missing.. I do see that Google settings is not installed as such..even through its sitting in my apps section within the launcher..and looking into settings there is .
Google account manager
Google backup transport
Google contacts sync
Google one time init
Google partner setup
Google play store
Google play services
Google search
Google services frame work..
So maybe its the missing Google settings app that causes this..?
Not to mind as will flash the gapps package and let it run through again..if it settles will add this to the FAQ..
edit: a reflash of gapps and a resign in via browser seems to have sorted it..Google settings app is working..

Yes..agree...as this machine doesn't have a lot of support for it so any support is a good thing..
Only reason I have one is in picked it up for $50 and its actually feels like a nice little unit..so sometime soon in the future someone around me is going to get a good little machine that is running a stable lollipop version.. Who's it is I don't care..

Josh,
All good, look forward to playing with anything that you put out..
As I am not beholding to anyone Rom or Kernel..As is most users, we are a fickle lot.
But my comments still stand, as I flash and follow a large number of developers and understand that it can get frustrating as a developer\rom supporter to field the same basic questions time and time again.
Wish you well and just think of this thread not as a competing thread but as a thread that takes a bit of stress of your reading and answering.. As I see you have spent considerable time answering posts across threads.. and would love to see you keep doing that for the benefit of all those that still hold one of these machines..

yes, there shouldn't be any animosity as stated,
its a thread to take people off the original TF300T threads and to take them away from your modded version..
too much drama going for such little return so its better to give people an out and let them banter elsewhere..
Damn, I flashed the v15 for the tf300 with the compatibility pack, and it just didn't run as well on my device as Josh's tf201 v14b. Looks like i'm SOL unless Tim's tf300 versions get more compatible somehow. .... and just when this POS was starting to show some life.

No.. dont take that personally.. it was not aimed at you..
but the tone of the thread in general the way it was going..
We can agree there is a lack of support for this device among developers..
and at this stage there is no dedicated single developer with a rom that they can call their own..
and as the TF range is not supported by updates by Asus then it stands to reason what little support in the forums will be used..
So all good..
this is a win/win situation for TF201T users..
and those that want to explore the new found freedom of flashing and making this tablet at least useable..
As I have stated before. .. I kinda like it.. and when I had it on 14b I had it stable..
its just that I am a sucker for punishment that I like to look ahead at where it could be...
and while I do that I dont want other posters giving me a hard time where to post..
thus....this thread has been created..

yes, I am still playing with it over the next few days... could even end up back on 14b..
As we know.. not all machines are the same..
my most stable was on Tims V14b with compatibility before I played around with F2Fs..
So there could be a slight difference in chips, screens that makes one work better than the other on the different versions..
Dear I ask.. if Josh wants to answer...
What actually is the difference between the two?
As for me so far I would say..
its only script tweaks to reflect that its infact a TF201T and deletion of the .int script..
As Basic Rom is same and Kernel is Same.. ?
As noted I am on the Grimlock 5.0 kernel now... so any upgrade by hardslog is going to be a bonus
Does anyone here have the necessary skills and experience to produce a compatibility pack to give a similar result to lj's 14b ROM?
From going through his thread I found the following three posts about changes he made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57235985&postcount=10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57266435&postcount=30
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57644092&postcount=103
Would the sensible first steps be to start with the Grimlock 5.0 Kernel and apply the changes like Josh did for his versions?
TF201 Reverse Axis
I got a new screen for my TF201 and it is the model that it seems all of eBay has which has the reverse axis issue. I know there's a way to fix it which would mean having to recompile the kernel with the fix in the touchscreen driver, but I was just wondering if anyone had done it for themselves and they could post their kernel or driver here. It's usable with the keyboard/mouse but I didn't get this for a small laptop.
Question: How to root on 14b with Grimlock 5 kernel
Now 14b (KatKiss Q&A TF201T ) thread is closed, so we cannot post there.
However, I have a question my configuration: 14b and dirty flashed Grimlock 5.0 kernel (I did the same @dgcruzing wrote there)
Now I lost root and don't know how to root again. I tried to use "Superuser-3.1.3__46___-efghi-signed_Final", which failed at TWRP.
My TF201 works fine, stable and fast, so I will stay at 14b+Grimlock 5, but would like to have root access to have TitaniumBackup working, for example.
Could you tell me how to root it again?
Thanks in advance,
Özgür
