Attention All Developers,
According to a statement on ASUS's website, they will be pushing ICS to the ASUS Transformer Prime. Hopefully we can get a system image and start a proper port of ICS for the Transformer. I currently have made ports for the EVO 3D but need to learn the differences for the Transformer
Eh, shouldn't that be in the PRIME forum?

If I read correctly the OP is saying we need to port ICS from the PRIME update to the original Transformer...the post is in the right forum.

Right forum - wrong section.
This sticky tells you some important information about where to post things:
☞[READ ME 1st] ☆.☆.☆ If YOU DID NOT CREATE "it" THEN IT DOESN'T BELONG IN DEVELOPMENT
I just got a used TF101 B70 that already had HC 3.2.1 and 8.6.5.21 firmware.
I know that it's still possible to root this tablet but is it even worth it with ICS coming out so soon(hopefully)?
Will I be able to unroot this tablet to get the ICS update?
you won't need to unroot for the update. just do not install any custom kernel's, ROMs,..., just stay STOCKed! ;-)
additionally you can use the rootkeeper, to (hopefully) restore root simply after upgrade to ICS. so, it would even be an advantage, if there is no root-method right after the update.
and btw, who knows, when ICS will really come round the corner...
ICS soon?
ASUS is busy with their newest products and customers and it looks like they have dropped the ASUS Transformer from their efforts. Think about it - how would it benefit ASUS to release ICS for the Transformer? Their business is to make money so they want you to buy the next generation of their product, they already got your money and to get more does not mean upgrading an older model. Where is the unlockable bootloader for the Transformer they promised? Why are they not keeping us up to date on anything happening in the Transofrmer realm? I think it is because there is no news and the Transformer is dead. They certainly do not have a unified corporate statement regarding ICS and their mixed messages on social media websites is only to keep new buyers purchasing the Transofrmer that remain in stock so they can get every last penny out of the product. I would like ASUS, as a company, on their company website, to annouce their plans and until that occurs there are no plans.

Disagree. There are issues with ICS on the prime which they are working to resolve. They have fixed resources. Releasing ICS for the TF101 would most likely only add to the workload. Makes sense to understand the issues with iCS and prime and fix them in the 101 version before it is released. In addition if ASUS dropped their support of the 101 they would have a tough time ever selling another tablet. Dig through the threads and see all the negative recommendations for the manufacturers that failed to update their devices in a reasonable time. These guys are in biz to make money. Alienating a customer base the size of the TF base would not make business sense.

Yes i'd recommend rooting. Even it the Transformer doesn't see an official Android 4.0, i'm sure one of our AWESOME developers will port it over, and do a darn good job of it. And if we don't see Android 4.0, or a port you can always flash a custom OS to give your Tablet that new fresh smell again and over clock it to bring back that youth it once had.
yes dude root what the hell are yo thinking... rooted users may get the damn rom first... and you never know what asus may do to lock your bootloader or whatnot.. so root now and install custom rom... then install custom ics rom... never have to worry bout rooting or locking/unlocking bootloader again... not to mention revolver is the best hc rom in the world right now..

If you don't root before the update, you may never be able to root it. Asus has been patching many of the current root methods in their recent updates for the Prime, and you never know what they have up their sleeves. If you want to ensure you can root after the update, you may want to hold off on installing it right away to see what issues may arise, and wait for a dev to release a stock ROM + root package. That way you can safely flash it via CWM and totally circumvent any root blocks that Asus may have created for us.
I'm tempted to root but not install CWM so I can get the OTA update but my worry is I'll break some system file with root and not be able to recover since I won't have CWM installed and I have a B90 device.
If that happens, can you use the stock recovery to recover a broken system?
I have a B90...and used the apk files to root and install CWM. But...if you are patient enough to not root and wait for an OTA...then you may even be patient enough to just root and wait maybe 48 hours (after the OTA drops) at most to get a rooted ICS version...by one of the devs here.

Disagree. They still said that prime doesn't have 3g so for who wants that there is tf101 (their words on prime presentation)...
So a point in favour for who wants an asus, wants ics and wants 3g
I was under the impression that Asus was keeping the TF101 alive as the <$400, 16 GB tablet in order to compete with the cheapest iPad.
It's similar to how Apple has kept the 3GS alive to compete with the budget Android phones.
If you have a B70 or lower, do what you want. When ICS comes out, nvflash and update. If you have a B70 or over, you may want to wait. There's no easy way to get back to stock on a B70 yet.
Why is everyone harping that ASUS will relock their boot loader when they are about to release a tool for the Prime?
( http://www.itproportal.com/2012/01/...me-bootloader-unlock-tool-available-february/ )
ASUS WILL release ICS for the transformer. It seems a lot of people got butt hurt because one PR guy on a foreign Facebook page had issues and said it would come soon, and got their hopes up.
If you think ASUS is going to disappoint 7% of the Android tablet market that they own by not rolling out this update you would be very mistaken. It may be late, but they can't afford not to push it. As stated, they would have big trouble trying to sell another tablet after that.

C'mon man, this ISN'T Samsung we're talking about here.
I'm confident we will get the update. They put on their website that the TF101 will be ICS-upgradeable months ago, which is the reason many people may have chosen to purchase it. Especially during the holiday season. Bad press can effect a company's profits and reputation. ASUS knows this, and will keep their promise.
Jason.. Don't be so damn naive htc said the same thing... And still using there tool it is not a full unlock.. Better root and load custom rom now if you can.... But whatever..

They'll support it at least until the next wave of tablets, Samsung was hit hard and the other companies thrived when Sammy failed to deliver on almost all of their devices and people went crazy over it.
Now they send devices to the CM team before they are even released lol.

That's logic, not naivety. They've put at least hundreds of man hours, and a lot of PR into this update. Dumping it at the last second would be second rate stupid.
Look past other companies and see ASUS. You don't get to be one of the largest manufacturer's in the computer component industry by breaking promises. That's not fanboism, either, it's fact.
You should also checkout their Facebook page. Just a few hours ago they, once again, stated they were working on it, and it should be mid-Febuary. It's all good!
Hey guys, so what do you think, which it the two is a better device?
Specs are almost similar with acer being 7" vs lenovo 10". Same processor, gpu and other hardware.
Better io options on acer iconia specially the USB and nini USB.
Screen better on Lenovo.
I am still confused on the scalibility, developer support and future proof ics on the chosen device.

I can't speak about the A100, as I have only owned an A500. It was a very good product, beautiful screen, many ports, good sound, etc. But I returned it and bought the ThinkPad, because I have owned many of those laptops, and they were always the best.
The A500 could be rooted if you had a specific serial number, but I don't know about the A100 -- I would check that. Why does rootability matter? So you can add apps and make customizations you cannot do with the stock tab.
As for root -- see for yourself in the A100 forums. The ThinkPad K1 probably won't see too many customizations, and Lenovo is not a great leader for innovation, but there is a work in progress for an ICS 4.03 update by forum members here, and it may eventually be applicable to the K1. Look into that for the A100.
Bottom line -- as you said, they are equal in specifications, so I would go with the tab with the most customization options. Please let me know what you decided.
I agree with above I'd look into development off the device first if your into that read user reviews in amazon and such retailers see what people gotta say about each

Thanks for the suggestions.
I looked and seems like both have their bootloaders locked, hence not very active for the custom rom developers.
Both are rootable, so it seemed like on the forums.
Acer a100 was launched early last year and hence should be a lower priority for acer, since a200 has also been launched. Although official ICS is expected by april and leaked already available.
Lenovo K1 also officially releasing ICS around the same time, but a fairly neew release by Lenovo so I guess, the support life should be better. Plus very recently, around mid Feb, Lenovo released the source code for their devices which to me sounds like they are looking at a developer friendly model for their devices. I don't know if that would make the bootloader unlocked for full developer support and developer interest, so only time will tell.
For similar prices (a100 costing 20 cheaper) but 8gb vs a 32gb k1, opted for a k1. Costing 335 canadian dollars with the taxes.
Hope the decision is right, will only know once I start using the device.
Thanks!

I would personally pick up a Samsung Note for that needs over any tablet, because of the same resolution, pen input and an almost tablet sized screen, with a phone pocketability - a confused personality between the two, but I will assume it would just be a matter of getting used to.
Good luck with your purchase.

Thank just ordered it, it should be here early next week, now I just need to read up on root.
Update: different branches of Asus are directly contradicting each other about whether we'll get an update. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28840181 for the first example. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29269146 for yet another contradiction.
Title says it all, really. Asus Europe has confirmed at a press event that Jelly Bean will be released for the Prime, the TF300, and the TF700T, but TF101 and Slider users will be left out in the cold.
Rough translation:
"Sam from Tablets Magazine was present at the press conference, and ASUS confirmed that not all of its tablets can expect an update to the newest version of Android. The Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201, the Transformer Pad TF300 and the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 are certain to receive Android 4.1 Jellybean.
The previously launched models, the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and the Eee Pad Slider, are not expected to be updated, and will remain on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich."
http://www.tabletsmagazine.nl/2012/...finity-krijgen-android-4-1-jelly-bean-update/
Some if not most of the developers here at XDA who program for the tf101 do a better job than the officials over at ASUS. I have faith in our developers and will support them fully to release any form of Jelly Bean for our beloved tablet.
Read the same news but have not seen it confirmed on other sites. Anyone? The source article says "Earlier launched models, such as the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and the Eee Pad Slider, won't have to expect an update". They're not literally saying it will "NOT" come to the TF101. Just that it's not expected. So, it's still possible. And isn't Asus supposed to support their Android OS devices 18 months and should comply to Google regulations?
Furthermore, what grauntparty says: our respected XDA devs have done a far better job on ICS than Asus did. In fact, Asus is somehow obliged to grant us TF101 users a JB update. Especially the unlucky ones on stock rom. If you read this Asus, you know what to do... This upgrade cannot be that hard for you, even my old Defy is now running a CM10 JB nigthly already. If not, In Dev We Trust but your brand won't appear on my next shopping list.
OT/
A propos, Motorola, another fine example of customer loyalty. Defy got stuck on Froyo with a locked bootloader, which they promised to remove in 2011. Never heard anything ever since. And now thanks to xda devs it has JB. Oh, as much as I love my precious Defy I HATE Moto.
If this is true, it'll be my last ASUS Android purchase. Halting support for new versions after only a year?!
in devs we trust, all glory to xda!!!!

I know, you don't want to believe it, but that's clutching at straws. (Google-translated straws, at that.)
Asus has told them which products are and aren't getting updates. They've reported that. The only way we'll get an update from Asus now is if they change their mind, which is pretty darned unlikely.
I'm sure we'll get an excuse at some point that the TF101 and Slider "aren't capable" of running JB, which we all know is complete nonsense.
The real reason we're not getting the update? Because we're Tegra 2, which is no longer the current generation. Hence it costs money to make the update; they can't simply repurpose an update for another device. (Devices getting the update are all Tegra 3; devices not getting it are all Tegra 2.)
If you ask me, it's likely why the ICS update we got is so rubbish, as well. We got a half-assed bodged variant of Tegra 3 ICS, rather than a proper Tegra 2 build. So frankly, it's good news that we're not getting official JB, because we'd just have gotten another half-assed build if they'd shipped one, anyway.

Transformer TF101 was launched on March 30, 2011. Adding 18 months, we should be hoping for software updates until October 2012.
That would give Asus 2.5 more months to support the device with updates. I'd personally expect perhaps 1 more ICS update but given Asus track record on updates I don't expect JB anymore. It takes them a couple (or more) of updates to get it somewhat stable and that would take more months.
WHAT its been 3 months since I bought this tablet FUC# you Asus "In XDA I TRUST"
Try getting yourself a Samsung Tablet then and see what real under valued customers have to go through. Asus have been way more reasonable with updates for the TF. I can understand the frustration but there are worse out there. Org Gtab (some) are still on Froyo, then the 1st gen larger tabs (some) are still on HC.....then the Tab2 rolled out within months of those.
Maybe the problem is just the whole Android system in itself......too many cooks and all that.
Maybe Google will have to ditch some of the manufacturers from the scene.
Or maybe the manufacturers that use Android just need to stop arseing around with it and all the fancy schmancy extra things they do with the O.S and leave it as close to the Google image as possible.
Or they should just pay our devs a good some of money to fix what they have came up with and let them show the way it should be done.
Who knows.
As much as i like how the whole android set up works for me, i have to be honest and say i now understand why and how Ipads etc are so appealing to some. Its a lot of money to spend on something that "sometimes" works the way it should.
I would jailbreak any "i"device so i dont think its a case of you shouldnt have to rely on our fantastic hard working devs to make something better......its just the way it is.
Go devs! We salute you! nuff respect :good: (look forward to some well made JB)
Well, no JellyBean crap from asus for you this time.
But as of aosp, I am making progress.
I love my TF101, even though our relationship is complex atm as we have to communicate through adb, as the touchscreen drivers aren't fixed as of now.
But JellyBean works. Just a little more effort for the first test releases.
I even get full support from my old friend guevor and maybe also from Team Liquid for Rom debugging.
Nuff said, asus.

I'd be surprised by the opposite: the Xoom is on the "officially supported" list and it's almost identical (hardware-wise) to the TF101, so Jelly Bean has to work on our devices.

1) result in Asus shooting to the top of the cool list for tinker-types.
2) result in a more stable end product for non-technical types, with more bugs out of the system prior to OTA update.
*technical users being those that meet a minimum criteria of producing accurate and technical bug reports and not just "it doesn't work waaaaaaahhaaaaa".
If Asus doesn't do this, it's only a matter of time before someone else does it and takes the crown.

Bear in mind that the TF101 still has issues with ICS, so don't hold your breath too long!!

There is that. But Asus has had the code for a while and I think the bug fixing via XDA users will go a long way to fixing various issues.

Quality bug reporting, not bug fixing, that's best left to Asus.

If anyone is interested, the first JB ROM is available to download in the development section. It's pretty raw right now.

it'll arrive when the time comes...
after waiting long for ICS, I'm pretty sure I'm patient enough to wait for this JB
I would be saying more likely October, Given that they would want the take up on the Nexus devices first....
so probably here in time for christmas
Information on Asus North American Facebook page indicates that the Tegra 3 stable will for sure get it, but it has to be determined which if any of their other devices will get it.

There seems to be some debate whether "Asus Transformer Pad" means only the TF300 or the TF300 and TF101. Either way, I would guess the TF101 will get stock JB considering the issues some people still have with ICS.

Asus now calls our TF101s the Eee Pad Transformer and the TF300 the Transformer Pad. Subtle, I know, but enough to give them an out if they feel the need. It sounded to me like a for sure for Tegra 3 and we don't know yet for Tegra 2. It's already been proven to run great on Tegra 2 so there is really no excuse to withhold it from us. I'll probably run a custom ROM anyway so it really won't matter to me. It might be nice though to get some of the Asus parts for custom ROMs where they and nVidia should know the hardware and it's secrets better than we do.
nah, we will have to trust in devs from now on, Asus wont give us JB

I most definitely will run a custom JB ROM if ASUS doesn't provide one. Chances are the dev. version will be better anyway.
