FLEXTHUNDER rom is discontinued
Last update was on 29/Dec/2011.
I added the red mod , I think this is a great rom and it does what it should.
I will not put anymore time in this rom , I'm not taking it down , so you users still can enjoy it but don't expect active support from me.
My next and final rom is named flexstriker and will recieve a whole new thread.
civ.2011Always take a "NANdroid" backup with cwm before you flash anything and take a "Titanium Backup" from your APPS.after flexspeed =FLEXTHUNDER=even faster

-Open the file "System APPs for use with addON-Flasher" , all the system apps and widgets are in there.
-Drag the APK's that you want in the system/app folder of the ROM (DON'T unzip) with winrar or something simular .
-Now flash the rom with all the apps that you want in one time , no need to use the addON-FLASHER.
Method 2:
-First download the .rar File "System APPs for use with addON-Flasher" , now download the "addON-FLASHER".Download addON FLASHER zip
-Open the file "System APPs for use with addON-Flasher" , all the system apps and widgets are in there.
-Now you open the "addON-FLASHER" (don't unzip), go to the folder "system/app" , you drag the apps that you want to that "app" folder.
-Put the addON-FLASHER on your externalSD and flash with CWM - reboot and enjoy.

TIPS:
- 3Gusb:
If the connection won't start use the ril-deamon-restarter.apk or when you put the 3Gusb in after boot ALWAYS use the ril-deamon-restarter.(3g icon in notification bar and mobile settings will be available in settings then)
It is possible you need to change APN settings in the mobile settings.
(I got a Huawei E1552 and it is working supurb)
Had to follow this tutorial to make my 3G dongle ready : http://vache-android.com/v1/index.ph...tutorialsID=12
-You don't want HULU , or want the flashplayer from the market ?
You need to remove "com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk" in data/app and reboot.
Now you can download the flashplayer from the market.

I got this rom running on my tab now and it works good (with THOR3.9 kernel) ,I almost bricked my tab testing this rom but he that is the price you have to pay , lucky for me I always got a backup so people always take a nandroid backup !!!

Just flashed this one (I had your previous ROM on my tab), after wiping Data , Cache and dalvik. Netflix works, and camcorder does not crash. Tried Hulu using the default browser, at the site I got an error that said I had to upgrade my flash.
I am having a gps problem, no sats locking. It finds up to 6 sats.
Everything else is great! Thanks, just wanted to give some feedback
edit: uninstalled the flash apk and reinstalled it from your ROM and Hulu is now working!! Not sure what happened the first time.
Everything working as advertised and new boot animation is sick but i still have the su denied for setcpu at boot......

Do you have root explorer or any other app that can give you root access to /system/app?
Sent from my Sensation Rockin CoreDroid!
EDIT: If you do have an app that can access /system with root then do me a favor and try this. Go into /system/root and copy the superuser.apk that is located there. Paste it somewhere in either your sdcard or external sdcard. Then take the attached superuser.apk and move to /system/ and set the correct permissions(Verify old permissions of old superuser.apk before you paste.) Now do a reboot, and once booted back up go into settings/applications/manage applications/all applications and scroll down to superuser and clear out the data for superuser. Now go back into your root apps and setcpu and regrant everything superuser permissions and I'm willing to bet that your issues will be solved. Hope this helped.

It is not the battery mod , I got it running on mine .I got no SU problems.
This is how I install rom:
-Reboot in recovery
-Wipe DATA/reset to factory
-Wipe cache
-Wipe Dalvik
-Flash new ROM
-Reboot.
Better to wipe everything before you flash rom.
Sometimes I got SU denied after I restore my system with a Nandroid backup , then I only wipe cache and dalvik and flash the rom again that I'm using in that backup so I don't lose my data/setup.
I did a update of the SU bin and apk in the one I upload later , for the GPS I got really fast lock on , but I live in europe , I will update the gps config file in the updated rom for you guys in the states , if you cannot wait just use the link to the crypted gps in first post and update yourself.
Will be uploading MIX_3B = updated the SU bin and apk. and updated gps config to V2.0 , over her I have even faster gps lock , so thanks for the tip guys.
twice now my tablet ha shut down while in sleep.is there a setting I need to change.
And please let me know if there's a flash for stock font.
This is really good
This is only for the official CM 10.1
CM Roms are already light weight Roms compared to stock Crapsung firmwares but still I find some of the apps unnecessary for me.
So I made this CWMR flashable zip to remove unnecessary apps.
I could have made a custom GAPPS zip but there are some apps that come from CM Nightly that I don't need. So instead of downloading the nightly and deleting the apps, I flash the Nightly as it is then flash my zip to remove these apps.

Because my zip will install the latest version of both.

Funny. :laugh:
I don't use stock browser and calendar.
And you can download Gmail, Google Search and Talkback from the play store, thats what I did.
Need to mount system
Thanks for the idea. This is useful.
However, for this to work (at least on my devices), I think you will need to mount /system in your updater-script. Without it, the script won't work.

Presenting the GAPPS AROMA Installer for Cyanogenmod 10/11.
I was unable to find an aroma package for cm gapps version 08 Dec 2013 so here's my uploaded gapps collection.
This package does not contain (or exclude) anything that was not provided in the original gapps package from the cm team found
here.
Description:
Pick and choose which Gapps you want to install.
Important Info!! Read before proceeding!:
- If you have never uninstalled system apps before, this is not for you!!!
- The installer simply allows you to customize what goes into your "/system/app" folder
(and "/system/priv-app/" for kitkat)..
- Everything else will be installed in it's original fashion (i.e. everything else in "/system/").
- Be mindful of what you pick and choose as many combinations can lead to a non-functional ROM.
You and ONLY you are responsible for what you do or don't choose.
- Installing GApps but not it's 'Setup Wizard' causes several cm ROM functions to disappear (Quick settings panel items, Power menu items, etc.).
- Tested extensively on my GT-I9300 running CWM 6.0.4.4 and cyanogenmod 10.1.3/10.2.0/11.
In the event that I missed something, please report it.
- Suggestions/Bug reports are welcome. However keep in mind that my programming skills are
about as good as a wet turd.
Installation:
1. Flash like you would any other .zip file via CWM.

For TF101G only (to prevent reboots in deep sleep):
Install Wakelock
Enable Wakelock Processor
Go to Settings and enable Autostart on boot
App compatibilityAlthough the TF101G runs Marshmallow, a lot of Marshmallow-compatible apps do not work on the device. The reason is that the CPU does not support the NEON instruction set. Nowadays, most apps expect a NEON-compatible CPU. Google dropped support of non-neon phones and tablets with Android 4.2 in 2013. My observation is that apps compiled for Android <4.2 have a good chance to work without problems on the device. So, if you're looking for a certain app in of the apk portals, filter by target platform Android <4.2 (Jelly Bean).
These specific versions do work on the TF101G:
Chromium 76 for Tegra2 by @decatf
Fennec 59 for Tegra2 by schmaller
Firefox 52.0.2
VLC 3.0.13
Kodi 17.6 without NEON instructions by tetramarreta
RemarksFlashing NanoDroid no longer possible from v22In the previous tutorials, the ZIP files NanoDroid-FDroid and NanoDroid-Patcher have been recommended instead of installing the APKs. I found out these ZIPs are not usable anymore because the zstd binary within them is not compatible with the TF101. Trying to flash these files results in an error message
Code:
failed to decompress /system/app/FDroid/FDroid.apk.zst
I found out that the binary zstd.arm that is part of the ZIP crashes with a Illegal instruction on the device. The same file works on a Raspberry Pi (also armv7), so I guess it's compiled against the NEON instruction set. Maybe an older version (v21.0) from the NanoDroid Archive works, but I didn't try. NanoDroid #197 addresses this issue.
Backup feature broken in TWRP 2.8.1.1It seems that the Backup feature does not work in TWRP 2.8.1.1. When starting a backup, the screen turns off (feels like a little crash); when turned on again, TWRP is still on the same page but no backup was created and no process is running. Using an older version (e.g. twrp-2.6.3.0-7_tf101g.zip) works. So as a workaraound, you can flash the old TWRP, do the backup and finally flash 2.8.1.1 again.
CreditsThanks to @timduru for the great KatKiss ROM. Thanks to the community for all the infos and details in >1.500 posts allowing a 10-year old device to do a good job in 2021.
All I did was reading, executing and documenting the steps described in the

On the tablet
Boot into TWRP 2.8.1.1 Recovery (Hold Vol Down and Power Button).
Wipe/Format Data.
Flash (in order):
Katkiss 6.0.34
SuperUser 2.52 Beta
optional: fsync_on
optional: KatKiss V2.2.0
Xposed SDK 23
Reboot into Android. Do not enable Wi-Fi yet.
Once in Android, select the SD card notification and setup the SD card as external memory.
Touch the notification again to see a simple file explorer showing the files on the SD card.
Copy the following files to the Downloadsdirectory in internal memory:
F-Droid
MiXplorer
MicroG Services Core
MicroG Services Framework Proxy
Xposed Module
Go to the app drawer, open app Downloads and install in order:
F-Droid
MiXplorer
MicroG Services Core (com.google.android.gms-???.apk)
MicroG Services Framework (com.google.android.gsf-???.apk)
Xposed Module
Go to the app drawer, open F-Droidand
Go to settings, enable Expert Mode and Unstable updates
Turn on Wi-Fi and refresh F-Droid Repository
Search & Install Apple UnifiedNlp Backend
Search & Install NominatimNlpBackend
Go to the app drawer, open MicroG Settings and
Go to Self Check, grant all permissions and enable Battery optimizations ignored
Go to Google device registration and enable it
Go to Google Cloud Messaging and enable it
Go to Location modules and enable Apple Wi-Fi; if possible, enable Nominatim.

Go to the app drawer, open MicroG Settings and select Self-Check.
Now you should have everything checked.
Reboot your device.
Go to the app drawer, open MicroG Settings, select Account and login into your Google account.
For TF101G only (to prevent reboots in deep sleep):
Install Wakelock
Enable Wakelock Processor
Go to Settings and enable Autostart on boot
App compatibilityAlthough the TF101G runs Marshmallow, a lot of Marshmallow-compatible apps do not work on the device. The reason is that the CPU does not support the NEON instruction set. Nowadays, most apps expect a NEON-compatible CPU. Google dropped support of non-neon phones and tablets with Android 4.2 in 2013. My observation is that apps compiled for Android <4.2 have a good chance to work without problems on the device. So, if you're looking for a certain app in of the apk portals, filter by target platform Android <4.2 (Jelly Bean).
These specific versions do work on the TF101G:
Chromium 76 for Tegra2 by @decatf
Fennec 59 for Tegra2 by schmaller
Firefox 52.0.2
VLC 3.0.13
Kodi 17.6 without NEON instructions by tetramarreta
RemarksFlashing NanoDroid no longer possible from v22In the previous tutorials, the ZIP files NanoDroid-FDroid and NanoDroid-Patcher have been recommended instead of installing the APKs. I found out these ZIPs are not usable anymore because the zstd binary within them is not compatible with the TF101. Trying to flash these files results in an error message
Code:
failed to decompress /system/app/FDroid/FDroid.apk.zst
I found out that the binary zstd.arm that is part of the ZIP crashes with a Illegal instruction on the device. The same file works on a Raspberry Pi (also armv7), so I guess it's compiled against the NEON instruction set. Maybe an older version (v21.0) from the NanoDroid Archive works, but I didn't try. NanoDroid #197 addresses this issue.
Backup feature broken in TWRP 2.8.1.1It seems that the Backup feature does not work in TWRP 2.8.1.1. When starting a backup, the screen turns off (feels like a little crash); when turned on again, TWRP is still on the same page but no backup was created and no process is running. Using an older version (e.g. twrp-2.6.3.0-7_tf101g.zip) works. So as a workaraound, you can flash the old TWRP, do the backup and finally flash 2.8.1.1 again.
CreditsThanks to @timduru for the great KatKiss ROM. Thanks to the community for all the infos and details in >1.500 posts allowing a 10-year old device to do a good job in 2021.
All I did was reading, executing and documenting the steps described in the
Tutorial of @javidben (05/2020)

I can also confirm that Spotify 8.4.30.688, Elementum 0.1.74 (installed from zip manually), MX Player 1.10.50, BubbleUPnP 3.2.3, and Netflix 4.16.4 are working perfectly under @timduru's ROM.
Can you add an Tutorial how to root tf101G i cant find anything.
I don't have usb option in recovery mode only boot android and wipe cache/data.

At least it did in 03/2021 - I'd like to encourage you to try it and share your experiences here.
Could you please tell me if there is any Tegra 2 compatible video conference app left?
Hi Christian, thanks a lot for this tutorial.
I've done it two times, with Always the same problem : my paid apps are not recognized as paid...
Could you please help me on that point ? Thanks for answer.
Edit : when trying to manage my account on Google play store, this app crash.

Sorry, I can't help with that problem, maybe someone else has an idea.
Ok. Anyway thanks again for what you did. Wonder if I can buy again a cheap app just to check if this is possible and stable.
I would like to know also. ASUS should at least consider android Go as an option, despite the terminal has been released on the market 10 years ago.
Hello. I managed to untie RC29 from blocking on setting up a Google account and inserting a SIM card. The notification shade and the home button work. Changes from pure Android 1.0 RC29 are minimal.
Requirements:
SDCard 500MB+
HBOOT-0.95.0000 or 1.33.2005 (Working, but not tested in use)
RADIO-2.22.19.26i
CWM v2.5.0.7
Might work with other configurations.
How to install:
Copy the clockworkmod folder to the memory card, reboot into CWM (Power + Home), restore the backup.
When you turn it on, press the menu (this is a kind of lock screen from 2008 ).
Additions:
Preinstalled Telnet app.
Busybox app pre-installed (does not work).
built-in busybox (execute "busybox" in telnet).
Bugs:
I did not test the firmware, most likely all the standard RC29 bugs
Google Apps don't work in any way! Google has disabled them on the server side!

PS. Thanks to JesusFreke thread.
v2 update
In fact, I just removed the software that didn't work, spent a couple of hours in the old XDA threads and found some useful software.
Here is his list:
Dark Keys - program to control the backlight of the keyboard (Search + L - enable / disable the backlight)
Terminal - Terminal emulator
Telnet - Telnet client
DroidSans Tweak Tool - Tweaker
DevTools - "Hidden" settings
API Demos - Phone test program
OI FM - File Manager
AndFTP - FTP client
Any Cut - Shortcut Maker
Snake game - Game (trackball control).
Built-in su (xda thread)
Built-in nano (before launching, write export TERMINFO=/etc/terminfo or run via nano.sh %filename or nothing%)
Built-in ssh, nc, sqlite3
Embedded (not all) busybox shortcuts and added to PATH /system/xbin/bb. (I had to modify boot.img, if md5 mismatch appears, flash the images via fastboot. Sorry for the inconvenience.)
I plan to rebuild the firmware as rom.zip for CWM. But it is only dreams.
You can pull out the RC29 system files through the command: cp /system /sdcard (replace system with the name of the partition).
Please report any bugs you find!

I will purely by iricol create a ROM based on this in dsixda's kitchen
It will be a full copy of the CWM backup but it will only add the recommended Radio and installation will be done via update.zip(i.e. like all normal firmware)
Here's the promised ROM
Added radio.img(i.e. recommended radio will be flashed automatically)
Ziplagin all .apk and auto wipe when installing (I am not sure if this works so do wipe data/factory set and format /system before installing)
