I'm on the fence with this device, I have a couple of questions about this one so if I could please get some help.
-Is there any ROMS out there that lets you either hide the nav bar, or change the size of it to get back some more screen size?
-With the 4.2.2 OTA update, supposedtly the LTE for T-Mobile is disbled but there is a work around for this to come back?
I appreciate the help. I'm coming from a Galaxy S2 by the way, so has anyone made this transition?
Yes to both questions...
Paranoid Rom! Or PACman both have options to hide the nav bar and use pre controls!

I never did take the 4.2.2 OTA so can't help you there. But check out Paranoid Android who are the pioneers of Pie, which expands the desktop to hide the navbar completely. There are other popular ROMs (CM from what I hear) that have adopted this. As far as shrinking or resizing the navbar, any AOKP-derivative ROM or AOKP itself have that feature.
Just take a look around the dev forums, I'm sure you know most ROMs have their features listed on the 1st page. Welcome & have fun!
EDIT: "Pioneers Of Pie", haha
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm pretty sure the newer Nexus 4's come with 4.2.2 out of the box, so the work around for LTE will have to be done. I'll check out the ROMs to see the nav bar functions.

I want the one with the little bumps! I hardly ever put my GS2 on a hard surface directly, at work I always put my phone on a sticky note. So yea, if there is an "auto hide" function for the Nav bar, similar to hiding the Start menu in windows, I'm in.

A lot of roms, if not all have the navbar auto hide, and if you don't want the navbar there at all they have pie controls so you're covered there
If you can completely get rid of the nav bar (not auto hide), how do you go back or home? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Well then forget navbar resizing and go straight for any ROM boasting Pie Controls. You get rid of the navbar and get a much slicker alternative--while I've personally been there done that & reverted to standard navbar, a lot of folks have tried Pie and never gone back
EDIT: Here's a nice huge example pic. Very aesthetically pleasing buttons that fade in with a simple thumb gesture & fade out.

Absolutely--what's even better is you can change their color & highlights to whatever you want. They're black by default & look good w whatever background you got

The search before you post ship has sailed a long time ago if you ask me, haha. How many threads titled My N4 just arrived let's all talk about it or What's the best ROM + Kernel combo get posted in a day on average? 4?

Hi to all SL101 owners!
If you are a TF101 owner, you are invited to read this post too, your knowledge will help us
I've been searching in the forums for months for information about the SL101 (ROMs, kernels, Ubuntu, etc.). Every piece of information is in a different thread and in different place.
I wish to organize this information in one thread. I know that there are no many SL101 owners, but we can help each other by sharing our experience with the slider. In this post I'll update the status about everything which related to the SL101.
With a HUGE help by @timduru, we got our Slider back to a brand new life! :victory:
5.0.x or 4.4.x KitKat ROMs
1. Flash the proper compatibility pack .zip file AFTER flashing the ROM.
2. Once the slider boots up, go into Setings-->Language&Input-->turn OFF hardware keyboard. Otherwise it won't work.
That's it!
Note: ICS and JB were removed from here, they are outdated and not functional ROMs.
Root:
- PERI tool.
Recovery:
- TWRP 2.8.1.1 - works great after @sidneyk efforts! Very recommended for 4.4.x & 5.0.x ROMs!
- CWM 6.0.2.1- old but working.
Ubuntu:
- I have no idea... If someone tried, please report
To-do:
- UBUNTU.
- Add links where needed.
- Improve this post
If I had any grammar or spelling mistakes, I sincerely apologize.
If I helped you, please hit "THANKS"
If you have something to say/add/share, please do
It'd be great to get an owner of a slider to confirm/provide rooting knowledge. I've rooted phones in the past, but we are talking years at this point since the last time I've even loaded up ADP or fastboot. The only guide I can find that really dives deep is this one: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html but as you can see, it's specific to the Transformer. What root method do you recommend for the most current firmware?
Any direction you provide would be great.
I used PERI. Make sure you have the latest firmware (9.2.1.27).

I noticed now there is an apk version, so you should search this forum and try it

I see now that you included "PERI" under Root... I'll give it a try later tonight, I'm just going through all the pages to see common mistakes and corrections people have posted. So you're running ARHD 3.6 (4.0.3), how do you like it? Pro's/Con's of the ROM? Looks like it changes some of the rendering capabilities, noticable gains in speed?
It has the same experience as the stock ROM. I use it since it is rockstable and it is always on my microSD card. I really have no good reason why I'm not on the stock...

Hmmm, well I really hate how there seems to be no community for us Slider owners. I was hoping I could get my buddies "broken" Transformer tablet and then I could really dive into modding and toying around with the Slider to contribute to this thread, but unfortunately he threw it out. That of course didn't stop me from telling him that the issue he was having (screen wouldn't light up, but it was responding to touch and turning on) was fixed by either taking it apart and resetting the connector or simply giving it a few firm bangs on it's bottom edge.
I may look into some Kernels, but they can be tricky... I prefer hooking the kernel into the ROM zip file rather than trying to flash the kernel after.
Prior experience with kernels - starts out really fast and stable with a rapid decline becoming unresponsive. But again, my dabbling was back in 2009/2010 on the G1 and the Mytouch 3G (both of which still boot up and run solid btw).

I really appreciate your efforts! Glad to hear that there is someone that understands and willing to contribute to the SL101 development
As I stated in the OP, I have no knowledge in android development and programing generally so I can't really dive into it...

I am currently running ARHD with stock kernel as well. To be honest, without being able to use Nvflash with our Slider, I have been very scared to try much of anything else for fear of bricking.
From stock ROM to ARHD, I have noticed some speed improvements with a bit of decreased battery life. Or maybe I'm just imagining that.

Well I don't think the actual design of how it all works has changed in 4 years... (seriously, it's been that long!) Anyways, back in the day what I used to do since I never wanted to flash a kernel into a ROM is actually switch out the parts into the install (yes, you have to wipe and install from scratch) so it loaded in recovery... if it doesn't work, just revert back to an old install and try again.
I now have a rooted Slider, I have yet to try a new ROM but I think I'm going to try ARHD first.
Hey there!
Great to see that I am not the only one having a slider
Currently I am on cm10 nightly (downloaded direct from get.cm). I've found the same bugs as in unofficial cm10 rom. But - to be honest - I can live with them. OK, the not working screen rotation makes me angry sometimes
It would be great if the slider could find some devs to work on with. It's a great device in my opinion - but of course I can understand the devs. But i keep my fingers crossed to have a PA Rom on the slider - that would be like christmas to me
So I hope TheMrcool212 can find a way. Sadly I can't post in his thread caused to my less posts (normaly I am present in the german forum - AH)
At the moment I am happy to flash every day a brand new rom on my Note1.
I will keep an eye on this thread and of course I can test some roms. I could also open a thread for an Rom in the German forum Android Hilfe. I am sure there is a big interest for any 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 Rom.
Sadly I have no experiance in developing.

Sounds that you and I are very similar!
I had been too on the CM10 a while till it has driven me crazy XD
I'm waiting to the PA ROM too to be a bit more compatible with our device
Every effort that the normal user or the devs are doing is much appreciated. I'll be glad to hear that you have found something in the forum you mentioned- you can even copy-paste the first post
On my way to edit the OP now... Thanks for sharing!

Yes, sounds very similar.
But CM10 don't drive me crazy. For it is working quite perfect. I don't use the cam on my slider and if screen is off - I'll touch the power buttom.
But the non-rotation is sometimes really bad. I've found a app that solves that problem 8don't know the name now, if you need it I'll will check the name for you), but that is in my opinion just a work around.
But of course: PA on the slider would be a dream!!!:good:

A few questions.
1 Whats the procedure to flash the CM10 for the slider?
2 Whats the name of the program that auto rotates the screen?
3 What are the benefits that you see changing over to JB and are they worth it?
4 Does everything outside of the camera and screen work?
Also thanks for installing the CM10. Gave me an idea. (just use apps to offset the differences) Maybe there is an app to reinvert the camera. LOL
They also said something about the keyboard not doing something or the other when opened. Whats yr xp with that? Respect!!
1.) As usual: Root and CWMR are required. Then do all the wipes (cache, dalvik cache and user data) and format system, cache and data (to be sure and "clean"); after that install CM10 (don't use CM10.1 - only problems) rom and latest signed gapps
2.) There are two apps you can use: Screen Rotation Steuerung or Ultimate Rotation Control. URC works better, but you have to pay for it after one week
3.) Benefits: Works faster and smoother in my opinion. And it gives me the satisfaction to have 4.1.2 :silly:
4.) Yes, the only problem I recognized (as you can see in the OP) are camera and screen work.
Keyboard is working fine, no problems
Keyboard and CM10.
A small precission for CM10 ROM on SL101: keyboard wake up works some times. Maybe 20% of the attemps (I press repeatedly the keys) do work, at least for me.
Hi DK5, can you upload the the folder 'keychars' and 'keylayout' in /system/usr in Stock ROM of your SL101? I need to see what's the difference between TF101 and SL101 of those folder. Maybe i can help you to add support for 4.2 ROMs.

A time ago I found this link where someone tried to install Ubuntu on our Asus SL101.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...dual-boot-ubuntu-on-asus-eee-pad-slider-sl101
I didn't try it yet, maybe in a few weeks after exams, but it's great that someone got run Ubuntu on the slider
Try to flash a 4.2 ROM the zip file below. I took the asusec jar and lib file from erickwill's CM10. Fix permissions if it doesn't work.
That's cool MrCool!
Will charge my SL101 and then: let the test begin (of course I will choose yourPA)
I will give feedback
So yes, i,ve stated it in the title.
I'm using Frosty Jelly bean from past 2 weeks.
and trust me by far the BEST STOCK ROM ever you can even think of.
it is way toooooo quick and smooth.
After the first update, i,ve requested the dev to add few tweaks for the the update but Unfortunately, the dev thinks that no one, else than me and him using his rom.
And he has kinda abandoned the work.
So the reason why i am writing this post is to ask you guys that is there any way that i can add these few mods to that rom without an update from the dev's side.
1- enter instead of smiley face in keyboard
2- navigation bar customization
P.s i,ve already searched the forum :$ but couldn't find any thing similar to what i'm asking for here :$
Else trust me guys the ROM is way more quicker than the STOCK it self.

OK here's what you do buy swift key that will fix the keyboard to what you want
Search play store for nav bar customization it's for root phones and only cost. 99 cents but allows you to change size and things like that. No reason for the developer to add these things if you can with out any coding

Thanks for your reply mate, but if i wanted to install applications, i wouldn't be asking here.
The thing is i actually want to keep it stock :/
I know installing applications will keep it stock but you know things implemented by default play safe role in the smoothness of the rom :/
And the mods i guess once installed get sick to the rom.
But anyways thanks for your reply and still if anyone has the mods do help me :$
Because I'm truly in love with the speed of this rom.

1 - If I'm not mistaken the enter key is a .png inside /system/app/systemui.apk or /system/framework/framework-res.apk. Replace the png with whatever you want.
2 - Get frosty's source code, compile it and make sure it runs first. Next, get AOKP's github and cherry pick their navigation bar changes. Rebuilt, and see if it runs
Also, it's NOT A STOCK ROM anymore. It's still considered a custom rom. It DID NOT SHIP with the phone.
Well in this case it may be your only option as many of us just use the apps so we can have the option on all rom but at least the more you and I hat back and forth the longer this topic will be at the top I have stock non rooted but rooting it probably next week so I can flash an older base band and will be changing my nav bar with that app.

I find it odd that with all of the push to eliminate fragmentation it's not included.

Who cares what google search comes back with? Guessing/speculation/your mom talking about cats. The reason I posted here is because people who tend to know what they're doing come to xda for news/know-how.
Is the missing launcher really a bi-product of optimization and the always listening feature? Or is the GEL launcher going to be available on the store? Maybe you don't know but that doesn't mean that a developer or somebody else doesn't know.

Yeah. God forbid you should do a little research on your own. That's why everyone comes here, to spoon feed you information so you don't have to look it up yourself.
BTW: It was bing search. I thought it was quite witty to use bing to search for information about Google. I guess I'm not as funny as I thought I was.

Despite the reputation that xda has for people who know what they're talking about there's still you. Research would imply that there is information elsewhere that:
A. I care about.
B. exists.
4.4 for Nexus 7 2013 is a few hours old. I already said I don't care about speculation. Stop being an ass. The first thing I did was google this and when nothing was found I started a post. Did you do any research before you posted that link? Read the first four pages of results. Read the first 100 pages of results. There's no links to statements from google or any developer anywhere that has looked into anything. Instead there's a bunch of people who all regurgitate information, whether cited or not from The Verge, who also don't cite a source. They just say vaguely that Google told them. Right... because Google talks to The Verge and The Verge exclusively.
Let me change the question for you. Don't answer it. It's clear you're just a moron. This is for somebody else.
Is there really a hardware reason to exclude the Google Experience Launcher? Does anybody know if GEL really uses anything from the 800 or is Google just running a trial on the N5 users?
In addition, has anybody seen whether or not somebody has tried to take the apk from a Nexus 5 and run it on a Nexus 7?

Is there really a hardware reason to exclude the Google Experience Launcher? Does anybody know if GEL really uses anything from the 800 or is Google just running a trial on the N5 users?
In addition, has anybody seen whether or not somebody has tried to take the apk from a Nexus 5 and run it on a Nexus 7?

Those first builds of 4.4 that came around when the Nexus 5 was launched actually had the whole GEL. the only problem was the keyboard would pop up when you went back to the homescreen, but other than that, it was working fine, so the only reason I can see as to why they would have left it out of the tablet would be to give the Nexus 5 some more bullet points on its feature list than other products out there.

Interesting. So... chances are we'll have a unofficial version floating around in no-time. Did you have any hands on with those first builds? Did the always on functionality seem to impact battery life adversely? Thanks in advance!

Where is it for Nexus 7 2013? Will it be in the factory build? Is it going to be available for download separately from the store?
I find it odd that with all of the push to eliminate fragmentation it's not included.

I find it very troubling too. Especially when we didn't get the new look either. Nothing a little Nova Beta can't fix!

I didn't take any time to tear into the build and tinker with it, but if there was any battery impact, it was too small to notice. I was still getting days of use. Even though the keyboard thing wasn't fixed in that build, maybe now that official builds are out and about, it can be fixed and sideloaded. I mean, all it was was a install of Google Play Services, the Launcher and the latest Google Search. Hopefully it won't be too hard to package those up and have them working soon.

There's already unofficial builds running around. I'm running it on my N7 with 4.4 right now. Still has the keyboard bug though.
All I had to do was install the launcher APK from Android Police and boom, GEL.

Thank you for the information. Sounds like I should wait a few days and check back in.

As far as aesthetics go, no, changing the color of the notification bar text and icons wasn't enough. At all. Considering we didn't get the transparent notification bar or the new app drawer icon. I'm getting my fix of those two with Nova Beta though. Gets me all of those things, plus it's pretty stable.

Yeah I was more being sarcastic. Even though I was more looking forward to just having a bit more stability in everything I use the tablet for, I can't say I wasn't a little bit disappointed not having a very obvious "New Update Day!" feature to have fun with. And if Action Launcher wasn't the most overpowered launcher out there, I might use Nova. I just can't get over that Quick Panel. its too useful

hello there community!
My name is Sady and i have a couple questions for you. We all know and love the WebOS platform and we also know that that's a dead story. So i'm trying to duplicate the notification on the bottom bar (where the home, back, etc. buttons are) i want it to be available from a swipe up from the bottom (swipe on the black part, not over the icons so Google now shortcut doesn't get messed up) i also want to incorporate the swipe to delete feature on the notifications. This is so that reaching notifications is a LOT easier to reach for people with smaller hands and also so that we can make more use of the wasted real estate of on-screen buttons.
Now that you know what my goal is, here's the problem... I'm only in high school and don't have the advance knowledge necessary to go on with the project. Here's where you, the community of developers, come in. i would really appreciate if you some of you could take on this project on your own and make it possible OR guide me in the right direction to work on it myself and learn a few things on the way.
In the end i would like this feature to be submitted to Cyanogenmod's source code so that all devices with on screen buttons can take advantage of this.
So thank you and have a good day (all pics were made with photoshop-like program)

No one seems to be interested in developing it. If i knew how to i definitely would but i don't know how hard it would actually be to implement it. Thanks for the support though
I really don't know much about WebOS, only it was a HP thing implemented in LG Smart TVs, but you may try looking in it's SDK (if it's available) and extract some code/insiration stuff.
But I doubt it's feasibility, Android has a top notification bar, why create a new one and that too, hiding the navigation buttons?
Good Luck!

Hiding the notification bar would be temporary. For only a second or two
