I can answer the latter part of your post now.
Rooting is simple, download Modaco's "Visionary R14" app, open it, tap "temp root now" then wait, then when done tap "perma root now" and wait... job done.
Then you are able to install the only official current custom rom which will be modaco, there are other roms for other tablets you can use but I have not really researched this myself yet.
Plus CM 6.x followed by CM 7.x is in the works.

yes that can be removed.
We will get CM6 first I believe, there is currently one majorish stumbling block stopping CM7 from working but hopefully that won't take forever to fix.

Is this tab the same as the gtab? And can we use the gtab roms on it thanks

no its not already rooted, there is just very little to no security stopping you root though.

Thats odd, all the apps i have tried that required root work fine. Root explorer and button savior etc.

I didn't have to perform any rooting steps with mine, just installed the ROM using Paul's batch files and instructions.

I set up sdk and did exactly as all gamers direction say but still having issues with the drivers even after a whole weekend of trying. I then read to vet PDA.net for the drivers and when I go to devices manager I can't see the nexus s .when I go to control panel with the USB plugged in I do see nexus but as I stated will not show up in device manager so I'm not sure if there installed properly. Ive got a Sony laptop with windows 7.

While this is a helpful guide, it has you downloading the Galaxy S drivers and installing them. This is entirely unnecessary.
Why does it have you moving ADB and it's libraries from platform-tools to tools? So that you can add tools into the PATH? They were moved in the SDK a while back, they will live in platform-tools going forward.
If fastboot isn't seeing your device open up android_winusb.inf and add an entry for the Nexus S
Code:
;Nexus S
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E20&REV_0100
Feel free to add it under both [Google.NTamd64] and [Google.NTx86]

Yep I made sure USB debugging was enabled. Thanks for support I sure appreciate it going to try as soon as I get home from work.can't wait to be overclocked with some toggle in the drop down.I never had these many problems trying to get the drivers recognized by my PC even after j manually showed my PC exactly were they were.I will definitely post and hope I have this dam problem solved

Usb debugging doesnt matter in bootloader. You connect your phone while in bootloader to install fastboot drivers.

If you have windows installed you just boot to the ubuntu cd and go through the setup. It will give you the option to resize the drive to make a partition for Ubuntu. Pick a size and go through the install. Once it is done when you boot you will have the option to boot from Windows or Ubuntu. If I remember right it will default to Ubuntu if you don't make a choice within the defined time. You can edit Grub to change that. You can do this to change it to windows if you prefer http://www.hackourlife.com/change-default-boot-order-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/.

Yeah you can use it for custom roms because it lets you edit the updater script. You could use it for themes, apps, scripts, kernels, or pretty much anything you wanna flash

Or you could edit the updater-script . But really, if your gonna get your hands dirty and make flashable zips you should look at someone elses first. Or, even write your own from scratch.

Calling out to Devs

Was wondering if any of the devs here could possibly spend some time to develop for the a200 as it is similar to the a500?
Our boot loader is unlocked
We are rooted
And we have cwm.
Just need some custom rom love such as cm9,aokp and so on.
I am not a dev but have comp programming knowledge if you need any files from the a200 I would be happy to share.

What do you mean we have CWM??
Is there something I missed?
But I do agree, we need our own section along with some custom ROMs!!
Sent from my A200 using XDA Premium HD app
I found it!!!
Flash CWM? Follow this link!

Well, creating your own simple roms isn't all that difficult. It's just hard to do when you don't have an a200 to test with. But the theory behind it is all the same.
If you guys want to try it yourself, let me know, and I'll share what I know about it. Seeing's you're already rooted and CWM installed, should be safe

I wouldn't mind having a deodexed rom. I would do it myself but not sure if I have the time with how much I work. Unless it's not that hard to do. I just can't wait until I can theme this device. Already have all the .png's ready...
Sent from my A200 using XDA Premium HD app

Sure a a200 section is missing...
Now we had ClockWorkMod on our tablets we can fash what we want.
3G patch for example will be great for me...
But i'm not familiar with cooking kernel, or dev anything ...

I have mmcblk0p 1-4, which one's do you need and how would I get you the boot.img?

Not sure about how to pull the boot image.
But the files from a "rooted" system dump would be great. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that earlier.
The issue, is that the root app they published, flashes the boot.image in 2 parts. And they're modified. This results in a modified boot.image in your tab when you run the root. Would be easier to have a complete modified image.
Well, never de-compiled and recompiled an image before, so will figure it out Maybe!
The rest, can probably be run from the install script as far as permissions and such.

Hello,
I would be willing to help... and I might know something about the guy who got it all going

Ah, well good. That's what I get for not checkin the threads for a few days.
Hopin to see some customs soon. Would be nice!

Ok, just to update you, I sent out a test version this morning. Mainly to make sure I got the install-script right with permissions and stuff. No other changes other than removing the usual bad stuff.
If, and I say "if" it goes well, then I can proceed on stripping the heck outta it.
If not, I have an alternate plan.

Ok, need 1 or 2 of you people to try this install. All the bad stuff is taken out. At the worst, it will bootloop at start.
If it boots, check Su for write and re-write on the /system. Copy a file, see if it sticks. Then delete it.
Root explorer added to /data/app so check permissions.
Make sure you do your recovery backup first,
Then wipes and such like a normal rom.

[VIDEO Overviews and How To's] ASUS Transformer Pad 300 (TF300T)

Hey XDA Folks, we have a YouTube channel where we normally film ROM overviews for the LG G2x as well as the HTC Sensation. Just today, I bought the TF300 as my "go to" Android Device and so far I am very pleased!
It is a powerful device, without having any signal issues and it has a pretty decent price tag. Down below, we will be posting vids as Development options become available. So far, we only have the ROOT method, which is simply to run an APK and a Tweaked Build.prop which, is literally renaming the old one, and copying the edited version to /system.
Anyway, take a look at our vids and more videos will be coming in the near future

I'm having a problem though with the custom build.prop process. My TF300 is rooted - or at least SparkyRoot and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper both say that it is - and I was able to restore root with Voodoo after updating to .29 last night. But I don't get the permissions dialog when opening ES File Explorer, and I get "operation failed" when I try to rename build.prop to build.prop.bak.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Problem solved. I used Root Browser instead, noproblem reanaming the file. Not sure what the problem was with ES File Explorer.

Hmm, haven't come across that error before. How about reinstalling ES File Explorer and as soon as you open it it should prompt you for ROOT Access. If it doesn't then go to the Settings and look for the "Enable Root explorer" option. Now it that fails, download another File Manager that has Root browsing capabilities. Hope this helps

I didn't try reinstalling ES FE, but I did reboot a couple of times, and also tried the enable root option in settings. None of that helped, so I gave up trying with ES FE and installed Root Browser Lite, which worked flawlessly.

Now i know what is the first to do when i'll get my tablet (very soon, 2nd June).

If you'd like to use ES File Explorer in the future, make sure you go into settings and mount /system as writable, and enable root browser. This will allow the renaming, and if you want to change the permissions just long press and hit properties.

Thanks a lot for that explanation. It will help anybody trying to follow this build.prop video who isn't familiar with how ES File Explorer handles permissions.

Hey man! I live in Toronto, Canada and got the Bundle at my local Best Buy. There were only 2 options. Tablet only for $399 or bundled with the keyboard for $519. There wasn't a separate box for the Dock. However, after researching online it showed that it cost $149 for the dock which is RIDICULOUS in my opinion but anyway...turns out that I saved quite a bit getting the bundle
