JT's Pure Gingerbread from Twitter

Just installed, but no gapps and no recovery or reboot option, just shutdown.
So far sensors seem to work- rotation, proximity is a little slow after pulling away from face
Call volume is much improved
GPS turns on, have not been able to get outside to test for satellite lock yet
Wireless will not turn on - no foce close, just wont enable
Data works - downloading New Market to try and bump gapps install ( no PC available for adb at the moment)
Will post details in a bit

MMS sends, have not received reply yet
Still unable to install gapps, any ideas?
Very fast and very vanilla

Ha, I'm stuck at work too! Really looking forward to seeing how it runs. I'm sure you can flash the gapps package jt has in his CM7 thread. And if your drivers are set up on your pc you should be able to adb reboot recovery.... hopefully.

Did you ask JT if you could post the link here? You think there might be a reason he is only posting on twitter and not here?

No lock on GPS

Very nice so far, but restoring back to CM7 until I can get to a PC with adb to install gapps

Is there a way to get to the new recovery? Not the three finger salute one that is

Since it is vanilla Gingerbread, the only option to recovery is three finger, although I did not try to install ROM Manager, so it may work to boot straight into recovery.
I odin'd the cw4 from Jt's CM7 post, but still got errors about not being able to mount /system, so I guess there are still file system differences between CM7, Gingerbread, and Froyo.
I had to odin back to stock, flash CM7, then restore my backup.
With the limited time I played with it, it performed spectacularly aside from the previously mentioned issues.
Once I can get gapps and a working recovery installed it could easily be a daily driver for me.

If you have JT's .zip file for installing CM7, when you tell CWM (red) to Install Zip from SD card, and choose the CM7 zip, it will auto-reboot you into CWM blue.
from there you can easily flash any of the new CM7 roms, including MIUI, OMFGB, and of course the CM7 zip that got you into the blue recovery in the first place.
Also, put JT's gapps .zip file onto your SD card and flash with thew new CWM after you have installed the rom. shouldn't need adb to install that.

I noticed yesterday that his release has Dev Tools which includes the Terminal Emulator. So I ended up just rebooting that way

reboot recovery?
Did not think about that, I am going to re-flash it later this afternoon from scratch to try some GPS fixes also...

Does anyone know if this project is still being worked on? I haven't seen any mention of it from JT since the original tweet.
I would like to use this as a daily-driver if it's stable enough.

AOSP Gingerbread isn't really a project, it's plain Gingerbread as Google released it. Not really a whole lot to work on after it's Fascinate ready.

Everything seems to work so far...GPS, MMS, data, wifi, sensors, etc

JTs vanilla GB is very light and very fast. This is GB as Android intended it to be. Nothing more than an OS really. No FB contact integration, appears no video or does not play avi, video recorder without 720p record.

[ROM][BL1.1][BL1.2] GTabCombOver 3.4.2

Please post issues in the GTabCombOver Q&A Thread.
GTabCombOver is an improved version of GTabComb, a Honeycomb 3.0.1 ROM by zyhong. It is a G Tablet ROM, but people have reported that it works with the Hannspad and the ZPad T2 as well. Here are zyhong's original instructions:
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.
This is a port of AdamComb with pershoot kernel and some tweak for performance and usability. Thanks all the greatest Adam, Vegan, Gtab devs that make this rom possible.
Install instruction:
1. Make sure the version of your bootloader and download the corresponding rom
2. I guess most of you should already be in CWM, but if you are not. update the recovery to CWM first. Stock recovery might work but you need to do some work and CWM is much better anyway.
3. Wipe data / Factory reset. It might work well, but you will most likely have problems without doing this.
4. Using the "install from sdcard" to install and enjoy.​
Change Log:
3.4.2:
rajeevvp's memory tweak.
Flashback 8.1's fix for external sd cards and usb disks.
1.1:
Fix for wifi not loading on bootloader 1.1.
3.4.1:
Updated to latest version of Maps application.
1.2:
Resolution fixed (only the 1.2 edition went out with the wrong resolution set)
CPU frequency restored correctly after sleep
3.4:
Fixes from AdamComb 0.3:
Improves bluetooth
Improves gps
Updated the Market (fixes download issues)
Updated all the other apps that have newer versions
1.2:
Clemsyn's honeycombtrial5 kernel, which greatly reduces the Sleep of Death problem

As far as I know, no one has tried it on anything other than a g tablet, but if GTabComb 3.3 worked on the ZPad 3G, GTabCombOver probably will as well. If you would like to give it a try, let me know how it goes for you.

thanks, i tried gtabcombs and flashback before but they would get sluggish on me until i needed to reboot. so far everything is fine for me on this rom. i did lower the dalvic vm heapsize though.

I'd been using Bottle of Smoke and then Flashback for a while. But Flashback kept crashing on me (shutting down randomly).
So far, this is running smoothly. But, then, I've only had it on the device for about 14 hours. Looking forward to seeing how stable it stays.
(I just wish there was a way to get the camera working on Honeycomb ROMs.)

subscribing for sure.
very excited! thanks for doing this!

Flashback crashes on me whenever it tries to access location services (Maps, etc.).
EDIT: As a matter of fact, so does GTabCombOver. I just installed it and it crashes as soon as Google Maps tries to acquire my location.

Yeah, so did the other ROM. Seems something broke when google updated the new maps app.

Is there any plans to bring 3.1 to the gtablet.. or is there some kind of driver issue... because no one as done it.

I've been waiting for someone to continue work on GTabComb. So thank you for your effort.
Here are my experience with GTabCombover 3.4.2 [BL 1.2]. Let me know what I can do to help make it better.
1. Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik cache then install and reboot.
2. Login and setup. It auto restore app previously installed on the account.
3. All the apps ran fine. Random freeze and lag.
4. Tried it with and without ADW Launcher EX. Still lag randomly, even while configuring the launcher.
5. gTablet has a 1GB ext3 partition created with the help of CWM (or NVFlash, can't remember).
6. Gallery works. Camera does not.
Has this rom been overclocked as it was done by default on GTabComb?

I had that happen to me once, but a power off and on fixed it. Could you try that and see if it works for you? If not, could you run GetLogs right after the crash to see if that can provide me with any useful information?

It uses the same default overclock as GTabComb. On the other hand, it uses a different CPU governor for the 1.2 version, since the kernel on that version doesn't support the governor that GTabComb used.

Which website would that be though? I think whoever wrote that it has 3.1 probably got confused with 3.0.1 which is what all g tablet honeycomb versions are.

I've been using gtabcombover for about a week and it has been pretty solid. However, it does seem to use quite a bit of memory. Last night it got *very* slow. I started Memory Booster just to see what the memory situation was and it reported that I only had 2% left (98% used). I killed all tasks and got it down to about 88% used which made it responsive again. But, it shouldn't be using that much memory, should it? After a fresh boot it shows 55% used. Again, is that normal for all ROMs? I never had Memory Booster installed before so I have no idea what I had on my previous TnT 4.40 ROM but I never had the slow down that I had last night either.

CM9/CM10 UNOFFICIAL Ice Cream Sandwich/ Jelly Bean for Legend

Check progress in DEV section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562595

( I have posted less than 10 posts, so I can't write in the dev section. )
Stupid question : is it using Holo?
And, if it is based on CM9, it is rooted, isn't it?
If WiFi works, I'm SURELY going to try this!

I installed it yesterday. Wifi works, it uses Holo, hat root and performs better than I expected.

Thx.
I' ve put it on. It's really laggy, but it works!
It's a good start, but if this is the best performance the legend can give, I think I won't ever change definitevly to ICS. Maybe it can be optimizated for the Legend hardware to become smoother.

Thanks for testing, but it has not got hardware acceleration yet. For testing purpose, you could overclock it up to 787 MHZ safely, and the overall performance get better notably.

Yea is pretty smooth overall eventhough hardware aceleration is not working, this port looks really promising,

Tried it yesterday and in My view its the smoothest ics ROM ever tested.i had some fcs but will try Tor correct rights via rommanager.if GPS is working i will use this one.its a must Have for me.

I'll try keeping it on for more time. By my first impression, it doesn't look so buggy, I think it is also quite stable. I'll tell you if I find anything.
Anyway, this is a great ROM, thanks for your work!
EDIT : Stupid question : to install GApps I have to flash the zip, right?
EDIT 2x : Yea, it was a very stupid question. Flashed from clockwork recovery. Works perfectly.

Its getting better and better. but still GPS not working. Hope you get it fixed soon.
Realy great job!!!!!

really good job. Just need GPS and Camera.
Hoping for 2.5 soon...also hoping based on Android 4.0.4.

I have a problem with the latest 3.0 version.
After i flash gapps i keep getting boot loops.
If i dont flash it and just flash the rom it boots fine.
Dont know what the problem is. Can someone help me?

I have the exact same problem as DareFace, but I think zeubea is aware of the problem.

zeubea-cm-9.0.0-ALPHA3.0.1 and Google Apps
I tried install this ROM multiple times today, everything works until i install gapps (full or tiny). After that phone enters infinite boot-loop (HTC logo on white background).
Radio 7.13.35.05
Bootloader HBOOT-1.01 (S-ON)
ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0
Edited @ 08:31PM GMT+2
After installing gapps over gapps works as a charm. That's weird...

I had the same bootloop problem until I installed another kernel that Zeubea provided. It's till get some fc's, mainly for clock and email, but the email still works, clock is inaccessible atm.
It's even better than cm 7.2RC1, running oc'ed at 787mhz ! It's so smooth and beautiful. Let's hope that the gps and camera will get fixed soon. If I had capabilities to donate, I so would do it.
Thanks Zeubea! The Legend community loves you, keep up the wonderful work of making our ICS dreams come true when htc can't and won't deliver.

The reason for bootlooping is the clock issue.
The default clock in 3.0.0 is 806MHz - something every Legend doesn't handle, so it bootloops.
The 3.0.1 version has this "problem" fixed.

I faced another issue releted to sounds. I change both ring and notification sounds and after some time i realise that they are reverted to default!

I have this weird thing where the danish keyboard force-closes.
It's everytime i type the word "lige". It doesn't do it with the english keyboard
I've tried to turn off the spelling correction, since it's in english, and there isn't a danish one, but it doesn't help.
Other than that it's great

bootlooping after flashing cm9 gapps, possible fix
boots up normally after flashing the zip in CWM, but after flashing gapps it bootloops, and after awhile of countless flashing i discovered it bootloops even before flashing gapps, so i tried different step to flash it and finally it boots up normally, here's what i did :
1) full wipe, dalvik cache and cache partition, factory reset
2) flash the main cm9 zip
3) full wipe, dalvik cache and cache partition, factory reset (again)
4) flash gapps (not tiny version)
5) reboot, if it boots up normally thats great, if not its ok, continue to step 6
6) boot into CWM
7) dont wipe or anything*
8) flash the main cm9 zip
9) instead of rebooting device, continue by just flashing gapps (not tiny version)
this were the steps i did to fix the bootloops after flashing gapps, apparently the gapps tiny version is not compatible with cm9 on the htc legend thats why i stick to the normal gapps file, i hope this helps anyone of u experiencing the bootloops after flashing gapps

I have some kind of problem with wifi connection. If "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Only when plugged in". After I wake up phone wifi is turned on it cannot find any networks.
EDIT: Logcat trimmed to "network|wifi|power|conectivity" http://pastebin.com/pdUAbfDy
And terminal emulator displays an error "Unfortunately, Terminal Emulator has stopped" when I try to open it.

Newbie Need Help..got my TF101 rooted..now what?

Hello, Im new to this and was able to root my TF101 build .27 with oneclickrecovery V0.4, which installed SUPERUSER v3.0.7
Wanted to install the EOS 4 JB because I read this is very Fast and Stable. This is what is important to me, hence the root.
Now how do I use this and install the ROM?
Is there a youtube or link that someone can direct me to?

Have a look here:

You will need to update to TWRP 2.3.2.3 (highly recommended) via GooManager

THank you for the link. I tried to install easyflasher but I think when I installed oneclickrecovery, it installed Rogue XM Team which I think is my flasher (instead of easyflasher)..when I rebooted with VOL_DN & PWR, then VOL-UP, it went to Rogue XM Team instead of easyflasher.
So can I just download the ROM into my SD Card and use the menu from the Rogue "install from .zip file"?
Is this the method?
I know Im half way there but need guidence for finish the rest. thanks for your help.

I'll alleviate some of your confusion lol, Rouge XM etc are recoveries (that are accessed via holding vol down and power) Easyflasher is a program that runs off your pc and allows you to install a recovery (like Rouge, TWRP or CWM). Easyflasher also works as an unbrick tool (if you do something wrong and mess up your tf101 easyflasher will restore it back to stock)
When using a recovery you need to place the rom on your sd card (some recoveries will only allow flashing from internal or external sd card's not both, but in the case of rouge it access both) then wipe the device (this will get rid of data etc, so if your going to make a back up this is the time) and then wipe everything except for battery stats (it isnt necessary to wipe everything but im not using the same recovery so i cant remember what the options say on rouge so just wipe everything for now) then flash the rom with "install for .zip"(and anything that goes with it i.e gapps or another kernel----- depends on the rom your using) and then just to be safe wipe the devlik cache again and reboot.

I would STRONGLY suggest switching to TWRP. Rogue will work for now, but if you flash updates to this ROM, the new file structure for 4.2 will cause your /sdcard/ to end up in the /sdcard/0/ directory, and after another flash it will be /sdcard/0/0/. You can move the files, but IMO TWRP is much better anyway (it can flash from internal and external storage).
You can install GooManager and choose to install open recoveryscript from the menu, or you can use the dd command and a terminal emulator to install TWRP:
First, download the twrp blob from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf101
Rename the 2.3.2.3 blob to TWRP.blob
Method 1
Open a terminal emulator.
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[/B]
# [B]reboot[/B]
It is important to just do a reboot, if you reboot to recovery immediately it WILL NOT update the recovery. Upon reboot, you should see a progress indicator at the Eee Pad screen. Feel free to reboot to recovery after this (even before it boots).​

I strongly recommend reading the post by Fredurco in the link he provided. As a matter of fact, read the first three posts. These are the most detailed instructions for any ROM I've ever seen and believe me, I've seen more than a few. Take your time and just follow those directions to the letter and you will be fine.

I agree! EOS 4 IMO is the most usable and stable 4.2 build. My biggest complaint with the CM10.1 build was the touchpad disable was not working. It is still a great ROM otherwise and pretty stable.
As far as 4.1 ROMs, EOS 3 is solid, and so is the CM10/PananoidAndroid hybrid.
I am definitely itching for some cornerstone love!

I use liquidsmooth currently, and it's my new favorite, since everything works. I haven't found or noticed any bugs, which is rare.
EOS4 is also good, but I just don't like the feel of it oddly. Very well built and worth a shot though.

Hi Fred! Dug my TF101 out of moth balls and put on EOS4.
Had some trouble with the drivers, So I ended up using 1 from column A, 2 from column B:silly:
end result, got my drivers, APX mode going, (cross between oneclickrecovery, easyflash, nvFlash, Universal Naked Drivers),
Finally got twrp on and flashed superuser
got twrp-goo manager to update it, Flashed EOS4- saw updated recovery did not stick, finished the flash, updated twrp again, reflashed eos4- saw twrp update did stick this time, and now get to play with the TF 101 all over again!
Everything old is new again!
Thanks Fred! Your post on the TF forum was great, and XDA supplemented what wasn't working for me!! Great teamwork:victory:

Thanks to Fred's excellent tuts, I was able to easily get TWRP installed and rooted (although it did kill my WiFi somehow, which I'm hoping will be solved with a different ROM), but have a dilemma:
Not to hijack (didn't see the point of starting a new thread about the same thing, but I will if you guys want me to) but which ROM will give the best video performance? I'm not trying to do 1080 stuff or anything naive like that, but I would at least like to be able to watch some of the lower quality 720p stuff (NPW's releases are very good) without stuttering or syncing issues.
Note: I'm not trying to do everything with this tablet and overall I'm VERY satisfied with the overall performance and wouldn't even be tinkering with it at all (I've had it for over a year on stock ICS) if I didn't travel a lot and use it to watch movies on the go. I only use this tablet for gaming, surfing, movies and lots of document viewing (PDF, MSOffice, etc). I don't care about GPS or the camera. I have a phone for that. However, I don't have the time or means to be constantly reflashing this thing because WiFi drops out every 30 minutes or something like that.
Basically, I'm looking for the ROM with the best combo of:
- Stability
- Respectable HD-ish video playback
I'm not a total Android noob. I spent many hours tinkering with my old Nook Color back in the day, so no worries there. I'm just looking for reliable video playback on the go. I've been looking at Android Revolution HD to preserve the ASUS File Manager and things like that, but really haven't seen anything definitive about video playback improvements. I'm open to moving up to JB, but its not a burning desire or anything.
Thanks!

I guess I am not sure what is causing your WiFi stability issues. I have no problems with the EOS 4 ROM and WiFi. It never drops out on me. It is perfectly stable, and I can play 720p H264 23.94 FPS mkv files with no issues using MX player.
Before I ran EOS 4, I was running the ParanoidAndroid/CM10 Hybrid ROM and it was just as stable and fast.
If you are having WiFi issues, did you do all the wipes (Cache, Davlik, System, Factory Reset) before flashing the ROM? If not, then that is probably where the WiFi issue is (settings from your previous ICS ROM still present on the data partition).

Disregard the bit about the WiFi. I disconnected and reconnected to my network and all is well.
It sounds like EOS4 is the only ROM that is still consistently updated. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
Thanks!

It sounds like EOS4 is the only ROM that is still consistently updated. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
Thanks!

EOS4 and the CM10.1 No-Name are the only ones getting regular updates.

Thanks for the quick responses. EOS 4 is installed and process of redownloading all my apps. Now I just need to test out some video. I'm testing it without the OC kernel first, just for fun.

If you wanna see more in-depth which rom is better, I recommend a little app called Antutu benchmark, it'll give your current setup a score depending on how fast it does things like 3d renderind, sd card reading and battery performance

I might be in the minority with this opinion, but after some tinkering I'm not all that convinced that EOS is any faster than the stock ROM from a general usability standpoint (even with the latest KAT kernel), but the video is definitely improved, so I'll keep it as my "daily driver".
Thanks for the help, guys!

Most stable ROM for WiFi TF101

Title says it all guys blowing of the dust of this thing can anyone point me to the most stable ROMs out there CM10 prefer

I'd like to know this too. I often have to turn wifi off then on to reconnect.

Team EOS4 & KatKernel are by far the most stable ROM and Kernel combination available from my experience, also it is JB 4.2.2, the latest Android available atm
No wifi issues at all, wifi works after sleep, never disconnects during use for me, and works first time after a full boot, just remember to set the correct wifi location in settings

Team EOS 4, Katkernel here too, make sure you reboot a few times after installing it. follow the guide in this forum, install it like it directs you to.
FULL wipe(cache, dalvik, factory, system), install ROM, cache/dalvik wipe, install gapps, cache/dalvik wipe, install Kernel, cache/dalvik wipe, reboot.
Get Kat apk to boost volume and GPS fix.
I was having systemUI issues, reinstalled everything a few times and now it's running great. Keep it under 1400mhz, 1200mhz seems to work well for me. Nightly 109 was eating up my battery too quickly, 111 is doing better, I hope they can improve more if possible, great ROM either way, I'm very grateful.

I cant write to developer threads (including TeamEos ROM) since I didn't write 10 post yet, but...
I love TeamEOS. One and half year I've used 4.1 compilation and now I use 4.2 #112 build....
What can I say? Stable WIFI, fast GPS as hell, marvelous performance.... Try it!
And big thanks for Developers of TeamEos and KAT Kernel. You should be owners of ASUS! or companies like this.

Just reply to a few other threads, XDA has thousands

+1 for EOS4/KAT kernel. No-name is pretty good as well if you like CM 10.1.

EOS is amazing running 4.2.2 with my cpu overclocked to 1400 is amazing

Dude, I did that update and crashed! I was using Stock ICS4.0 ASUS version and using [recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-tf101-repack]. Happens that ended Succesfully, but it did not REBOOT. Bricked at the ASUS logo screen...I don´t know what to do, nothing works. Tried to unBrick from APX mode but can´t run into it. :crying:

Can you still get into recovery? If so, can you flash from the microSD?

That's because your running CWM recovery, I know its not easy to read every thread going, but if I had £1 for every person I've said the same thing to over the past 2 weeks I'd easily have £7.39 by now
Use Easyflasher to unbrick and flash TWRP recovery, then you can flash Jellybean ROMs without bricking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
APX Mode will not show anything on the TF screen, just plug the TF into the PC USB, then turn off the TF, then hold power and volume up until you hear the USB connect sound, that tells you that it is in APX mode, then you can run Easyflasher to unbrick
There should really be a sticky made about CWM, it doesn't play nice with JB ROMs

Team EOS 4 + Kat Kernel = FAST and STABLE :victory:
PS: If you wish to use Phablet UI i suggest you use Trebuchet from CM 10.1

Ok, but to use Easyflasher I have to go into APX and I CAN´T (maybe driver issue, but I reinstlaled and nothing!
I DO can go into TWRP Recovery (to be straight it´s the only thing that workED) but flashing ROMs FAILED over 5 times. So, to get a lil worse, I was clearing cache and Dalvik and suddenly I miss-touched SYSTEM...and now I think that I did MESS with it. I reboot and I get nothing but [Eee Pad ASUS] screen...not even get to loading dots!!
Last try was LINUX Coldboot...nothing succesfull at all!
I gonna kill myself....BRB!

Of course it won't boot; wiping system means deleting the ROM. Just re-flash the ROM now and see if that works. You are supposed to wipe system before flashing a new ROM anyway (to clear out remnants of the old ROM), so it's no big deal.

As I already said...flashing ROM FAILED over 5 to 7 times...and I CAN´T get to APX...i´m stucked at NO SYSTEM...just can get to Recovery, but NO flashing!

Try a different PC, or reinstall APX drivers
99% that APX mode does work, either you are doing something wrong, or your PC is struggling with the APX drivers
APX mode is volume up & power from powered off state while already plugged into PC, the only notification for entering APX mode is USB connect sound, nothing will appear on TF screen

I tried EOS4 recently and although the release looks good I experienced so many crash/reboots/freeze that it would make the worst build of the stock ROM look fantastic.
There are lots of update but nothing about fixing the important stuff like reboots, freeze no return from sleep
I would strongly advise on staying with stock ROM at the moment

Have to ask, what recovery did you use and did you do a full wipe before installing?
I find EOS 4 to be MUCH more stable on WiFi than any ICS ROM (including Stock and stock based ROMs)
