is it possible to flash a new splash screen for the transformer? Is it simular to how you do it for the phone?
do you mean boot animation ? if so then it can be done - there are a few variations already in the dev section.

No the screen before the boot screen. When you first turn it on you see an Asus sreen before the boot screen. That is called a splash screen.
Also Wondering...
I am also curious about this. Instead of the Eee Pad screen that lasts for like 3 seconds upon firing the device up, could we not somehow flash via CWM new logo's? I have done this with my Droid X a few times without issue. Not sure if there is something significantly different in the honeycomb build.

The splash screen is hard embedded in the kernel I believe.
Ah, that would make sense. Oh well. Wouldn't it have been sweet to have an Autobot or Decepticon symbol instead?

Agreed but ASUS wouldn't be able to do that because of copyright issues.
I only say its embedded within the kernel because on the Nexus S. morfic a kernel developer makes his kernels (Trinity) and has these green robotish embedded within his kernel that cannot be removed. A boot animation appears afterwards.
So I'm pretty positive its hard coded in the kernel. You'd have to wait for ASUS to release the source code for 3.1 kernel and get your hands dirty and compile your own kernel with another splash screen if you really want to do that Or use clemsyn's source and compile your own with his source and just changing the splash.
Hah, when I get a few hours and maybe a 6 pack (or two) perhaps i'll attempt.
On a side note. "Wait for Asus to release the source code" is becoming a common theme. Wonder whats taking so long...
Thanks for the info. To bad it's not as easy as flashing via CWM like my X.

Minimalist 3.2.1 ROM.
Built on custom modified Tiamat Xoom 2.1 ROM and HoneyVillain 2.5 kernel. No screenshots available. Just imagine or look up what the Xoom's UI looks like.
Download the ROM here.
Instead of doing a mega-patch, I've just decided to upload the numerous enhancements and fixes as an entire new ROM.
Kernel sources will be available here - https://github.com/anarchron/Iconia_a500_3.1
Thank you for posting a new rom, though a more detailed guide of what is included/not and some screen shots would be excellent. Thank you.
What is this based on? Stock Asus?
EDIT: But also, thankyou for putting in the effort!
Just wondering, since you didn't mention it in detail in the first post.
Did you include honeyvillain 2.5 kernel?
Stock Xoom 3.2 with modified HoneyVillain kernel.
any chance of some screen shots?
also, what apps are included/excluded?
thank you.
ROM is working very well here, thank you for the effort you've put in.
I decided to be a bit cheeky and see if it would work upgrading from HoneyVillain (3.1 Acer base) without a data wipe, and it worked fine. If I come across any issues though I'll be sure to wipe before complaining.
Downloading......seems very interesting specially the fix of the portrait mode....
Thanks

First feedback - will it work with Richardtrip's stock 2.5 kernel without your modifications? And if not - could you enable overclocking in your kernel? You've got it set to a maximum of 1ghz it seems.
What about 3g support ?

It won't work on the stock kernel. I made a mistake earlier and left out the over clocking function. I'm currently rebuilding the kernel and preparing a patch to enable overclocking.
To fully comply with GPL stuff, I will be forking the HoneyVillain kernel source sometime later this week. I have yet to figure out the subtleties of github.

Instructions
You need to flash do a wipe, flash i through cwm and then install motleys kernel. Install it just after the install, otherwise you will get a bootloop. Here are the download links:

Mot's Kernel
http://hotfile.com/dl/148987800/309e587/motley_v1i_No_Touchwiz.zip.html
Remember, this is a test build
Report back your result. I really can't get to a Galaxy Tab at the moment. I'm really hoping to bring the first NON-TW ROM to the 8.9
I think you need to ask Motley on how to turn off TW patches to kernel.
Roger That
oh my word, this would be the greatest thing for the 8.9. i don't think we're going to get an ICS rom until Q3/Q4. You know how samsung is.
Yes. Hurrian, talked about it. All I need is motley's 3.1 kernel.
Some news. I got it to boot. Actually, I am in a bootloop without the bootanimation but with the samsung sound. My source uses some weird boot.img (boot.img.md5 Note: it is a boot.img, not a md5 checksum, i am sure). I will hopefully get a correct one tomorrow. At least it passed the Galaxy Tab 8.9 screen.
Booting! There you go! Download links updated!
How's the performance comparing with overcome 2.3?
Anyway thanks for your effort to the development of gt8.9!!!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Currently, they are about the ame. This is because this ROM is a pre alpha. In the next builds, the performance should be far above Overcome, simply because the absence of TouchWiz.
omg can't wait the hc3.2 release!!!!
thank you very much!!!

Yes. Wifi has proved itself to be hard. If anybody wants to oin my team, please PM me. You are welcome. I will release the 3.2 The very moment I get Wi-fi working. After that, I am planning to ressurect the honeyUI and add a seconfd build for users to choose.
you are using the motley 3 kernel right? do you know why the USB otg features wouldn't completely work like they do in Galaxian Soup? I plugged in a USB game pad but it didn't work

You probably don't have the kernel modules in the right place. With older motley kernel the modules were in rom somewhere, but i don't remember exactly where. Ask motley about this.
That is because this is an old motley's kenel. Most of the new ones would simply get you into a bootloop. Worknig on that, but no support for that at the moment. Again, compatibility, but I am hoping to get that soon. It has been 7 Hours since I got this booting and working
has there been any more updates on this? This is truly the most exciting rom for this device.

when you release a working wifi rom, will you support the 7300 as well as the 7310?
My A500 was running Taboonay 3.01ROM without any problem. When watching some 720P video it tented to stutter here and there so I though I should look into overclocking it. I downloaded kernel 3.9R4 for custom ROM from tegraowners and installed it. The tablet stopped working after reboot. I could still see the lock button but I was not able to unlock the screen. It seemed the touch screen did not work any more. I then did a reset boot with power-vol-up-gyro combination and it is now on the "Welcome" screen. But the "start" button is grayed out and it does not respond to any screen press, like a frozen windows pc.
IS there any way I can push the old working kernel into the tablet. maybe using adb push?
Thanks,
Jay
Tabooney 3.0.1 is ICS i.e. thor's 3.9R4 kernel is incompatible because it is for Honeycomb. Reflash another full ROM.
Thanks for the info. How do I flash another ROM? I normally ran ACER recovery to boot into recovery. I can not do that any more so what are the steps for installing a new ROM?
Thanks,
Jay

Here we go again. Let's keep it clean, shall we?
I was able to re-install the taboonay 3.0 rom by Power + vol- into recovery and install it from external SD card. Everything is back to its original working order.
Thanks!
Now a question, is there a kernel I can use on ICS to overclock my A500?
No. This is stock kernel with all the custom ICS ROMs here (sources are still unavailable). Thor's project is AOSP and comes with custom kernel which is overclockable.
I was looking in the Xoom threads, and found this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488059
It says "Including overclocking to 1.7GHz", but when I load the kernel atop my rom, I still don't get the CPU to show anything more than 1000mhz.
Does anyone know if there some type of module that has to be loaded now-a-days? Some type of configuration change required? Or do we just need to wait for a custom kernel that has this all worked out a head of time.
Overclocking stock ICS ROMS
I've been annoyed that I can not keep my ARM running at 1.5GHz as well and was looking at the manual settings in SetCPU. I think (I haven't tested yet and might be wrong) you can make a simple text file to specify the CPU speeds. Has anyone else tried this and maybe can supply a copy of their text file?
I'll try later tonight and report back if it works if no-one else gets back 1st

Now there's a good one. Let's load a Motorola kernel on top of an Acer Rom with Acer hardware.
You're lucky you didn't bork the tab
Then we;d have to refer you to the Zoom forum to get it unborked.
Overclocking using any app requires a Kernel that actually supports this feature -- which Acer ICS Stock 2.6.39.4+ doesn't. As Acer didn't release the source for a Kernel that was never meant to be used by the general public (It's a Leak, remember?) we can't add this feature. Flashing another kernel is probably a dumb idea also, as it almost definitely isn't going to anything other than brick your tab (If you try anyway, at least do a NAND backup). Once Acer releases the sources for their ICS kernel (which won't be before they release the ROM) OC will be possible using our own, hacked, kernels -- until then, be patient (or use HC).
so there's still no custom kernel for taboonay 3.0.1 for overclocking?

Its the same as the kernel zip Hashcode released but he complied the whole ROM also, just handier. Screen brightness works tough and USB on Hashcodes one.

On Hashcodes 28/04 ROM I linked to above you must go to Settings > Storage > Press the menu button in the top right and select USB Mass Storage and then the USB connection to the PC will work.
My Vote
My vote out of the ones listed here would be for GedeROM 1.2. I have tried all of the ones listed here (except for Hashcode's which I can no longer find in the Dev Forum) and Gedemis's seems to be the smoothest, at least on my KF. I don't think you can go wrong though with any ROM that uses Hashcode's fantastic 3.0 Kernel.
Hope that helps Thanks for listening.

Thank you guys. Now will try GedeROM 1.2
Installed gedeRom 1.2
There is no sound on keyboard click. but battery life is awesome
The best way I can put this is GEDE rom is amazing. I just bought the Fire a few days ago with the refurbish sale, and rooted it within 15 minutes of opening the box. I already own the transformer prime + dock, and sadly I haven't picked it up since I got the fire. Gede rom is as close to perfect I have come across all the roms so far. It does everything my prime can do. Only downside (a plus is my eyes) are no key sounds. I hate them anyway.
The fire just feels soooooo much better in the hand than the prime. I thought the 7 inch screen size might be a limiting factor, but I don't really mind it. 7 inches vs 10 inches of screen space is negligible depending on how close you hold it to your face anyway. I've actually been on the fence about putting my prime up on ebay. I honestly don't see the benefits for 500 dollars over the fire outside of more memory. I have tons of apps, emulators, movies and music on my fire, and still have space to spare. Don't think I have a problem with only 5gb of space if you know how to format your media correctly.
I have tried Hashcode's, lithium76 AOKP ROM, Reloaded and GedeROM.
I have stuck with GedeROM.
I have not tried Energy ROM yet though.
The modaco rom works well if you like stock

another vote for gedeROM however it is the first ICS rom I have used coming from CM7 but I dont see any reason to switch. Transition was super smooth also, just backed everything up with titanium, flashed ICS, restored the apps without a hitch
GedeROM all the way.
I was on Hash's ROM for a while, then thought I'd try gedemis' ROM, and it AWESOME. Smooth, quick, and very few noticeable errors. No offense to any of them, but I do find it funny some people are saying the keyboard makes no sound. What, your magical fingers don't make a sound when they tap on glass? I personally think it's a trivial bug, but there are some out there who might NEED it for whatever reason, so it's understandable.

yes all I need for now is the AOSP 2.1 download. The 2.1 download I need is for build ERD79 since that is the build the nook runs.
the CPU speed is the big difference. The motorola droid has a 600 mhz ti omap cpu. The nook touch has an 800 mhz ti omap cpu.
so the nook should be able to run stock aosp 2.1.
I think I found the motorola droid android 2.1 update file. http://www.mediafire.com/?iny1nnnodmh
it is odexed and the patch folder contains files with a ,p extension.
what I need is an aosp 2.1 update file that is deodexed.
Tough one.
I'll keep searching, but let me know if you find something.
this seems to *a* droid android 2.1 image. not tested.

This is deodexed android 2.2.1 for motorola droid. I do not know if this can be nodded. If it can be ported to the nook it would be cool.
I think having a deodexed android 2.1 ROM would be easier to port.
I might be possible. The galaxy tab 3 did not get android 4.2 it came with 4,1, but the galaxy tab 3 lite came with android 4.2. The galaxy tab 3 lite stock rom got ported over to the galaxy tab 3.
