My kernel's always been custom (I released it before ASUS did, it kinda had to be), but previously I was using 2.6.39 (much as ASUS are). I've recently rebased on 3.1 which is what the photo is getting at. In it for the long haul etc

Hah, the original ones were taken with my phone (old original HTC desire) and this one was taken with my webcam
Pretty sure it is working on your rom, AOSP makes a screenshot if you press power button and volumn down at the same time. But happy coding!
Regarding touchscreen sensitivity, i think the most people have an issue with (at least me) is that it is not recognizing their thumb/big surfaces. Just test the pointer location overlay in developer settings. Put you finger on it and slowly put your thumb starting from tip to whole, you will see that a full thumb is not recognized. This is not a problem in the ASUS rom btw.

I love the ROM and I love ICS. However Google could have done a lot more. Gestures would work amazingly well. For example, when I'm on any homescreen and want to get to my apps list, a simple 4 finger pinch seems very logical. Much like Apple/Lion Launchpad. (Although, I'm sure Apple has a patent? lol)
Anyway, I don't meant to stray from topic

K900, looking forward to your findings - the main reason keeping me from using non-Asus based custom ROMs is the very limited keyboard support.

seems like this rom has been abandoned or is it just me?
I doubt it. The dev is still coding alot (if not all) of this himself, he's probably really busy. I know he recently updated the kernel also to 3.0xx and is probably recoding the drivers to work with it.

Not abandoned, just I'm studying for a degree which unfortunately takes an awful lot of time and have other things filling my days at the moment. I will get back to work on spark eventually... the 3.1 based kernel is in my git repository if anyone is interested in it in the meantime.
maybe we should turn this thread into a "help paul with his homework" thread so taht he can get back to ICS!

I myself am a big CM fan, so while I would like to see a vanilla as possible ROM (AOSP), I was always more interested when he started talk of 3.x Kernel development...
I cant develop myself but the thought of a 3.1 / 3.2 or even 3.3 kernel makes me excited... I just dont understand (besides the simplicity) why most devs go with 2.x and then backport all the new fix's/changes/improvements instead of starting with tip or stable tip and then work forward the parts that are needed...
Ive seen it happen on the HD2 at least where a few of the kernel dev's have backported and imported fix's, enhancements and such only to have something break down the line and have to start from scratch again... I am reminded of someone building a treehouse starting at the very bottom instead of the middle or top and continuing to build towards the top until the entire tree collapse's under the weight... then you have to get a new tree and start again... (as opposed to losing the top/middle and still having the bottom to fall back on )...
While GIT and what-not are there for easily reversing changes, when you get knee deep and ignore a few users reporting issues until it becomes a giant sore... thats where my above situation comes in...
DISCLAIMER: its all non-dev talk anyway, probably more of a headache to read then not... but considering the kernel I use on my HD2 has been "redone" 2 or 3 times (memory fails me) because of this I can only use that as a base reference of my experience...

Bump! This is my favourite ROM, but I've now switched to an actively developed one (the CM9/Megatron ROM) because Spark still needs some work. The kernel work got me really interested too, so I'm still hoping for the triumphant return of Capt. Paul Burton.

Initial build29To clarify, I am still working on Spark and I still want to avoid relying on binaries from ASUS. Short term I may make use of their GPS binaries. Long term I want as much as possible open so that when Jelly Bean comes around and ASUS don't care about the TF101 anymore I'm not stuck with outdated binaries. It will be useful when ASUS push out the 2.6.39 source from their ICS release, which I assume will be based on the same nVidia branch as mine. I did also notice nVidia have now pushed out a kernel branch based on 3.1 and I'm looking at rebasing on that.22When will be the next release ?
About 5 minutes ago (for CWM, NvFlash version will be up in ~10 minutes). I will ask though that if you (or anyone else, please don't feel singled out) feel the need to ask any non-technical questions please do so over here in future. Thanks for your interest
Everyone else: guys, when someone asks for an ETA can you please just ignore it? Thanks!
Edit: Both CWM & NvFlash versions are now up.17
ASUS' kernel source will be handy, it's not a blocker though - I'm just quite busy... What I have been doing though is this:
17Alright guys, back to work. There's a new release in the first post. Lots to do, but now I have (a little) more time to do it in. I still don't recommend using it full time until at least the wifi on-off-on (or suspend) breakage is fixed - that's next on my list. I'm also thinking of setting up a bug tracker soon, so that I don't lose track of anything. Thanks to all who've been answering the many questions, and please everyone do keep the non-dev discussions elsewhere.
