When it comes to speed and performance (scrolling desktop for i.) comparing to stock ROM, is it better?

What advantages are using this custom rom? I ask because I hesitate to by this one or IPAD2 (but i really don't like apple nobrain fanclub sheeps)

I'm getting serious camera problems now after updating to the most recent Prime build. Camera shows live images fine on the screen, but attempting to capture a picture results in a delay, then a green frame being taken.
Any idea what's causing this?

I get this too guys, I take it you haven't done the new root method otherwise your camera would reboot your tab instead.

I'm hoping a fix for this will be found soon.

Apologies for repeating myself in another thread but I think it's fair to ask each dev with a deodexed rom:

Could I ask how you're deodexing the apks? I've found the Honeycomb patched Backsmali in the ticket about the missing HC opcode but that said that the patch would only work for backsmali not smali. So how did you re-compile the .smali into a classes.dex?

Reason is I'd like to deodex the Xoom apks that the Transformer doesn't have, notably the movie editor. (I have decompiled to .smali but can't recompile to .dex)

Cheers for the heads up. I've already tried the camera app from the 4/14 build as a workaround but no joy. There will be some other bit of software in the 4/14 build that causes the camera to behave differently. I am still running the stock 20110325 bootloader and my camera is working sorta, I get the original green screen issue but no reboot.

I'm hoping that that the clever guys who do all the rooty stuff can quickly identify and resolve this unfortunate issue.

If the camera is a must have for anyone then please use either dc13's TI-X rom or MoDaCo's Hr2 rom in the meantime. Both of these are 04/14 and have been confirmed as working.

Do you have a link for Modaco's HR2 or can you host it for me? Modaco only has links to his current ROM but not the HR2.

Roach, as well as all others .. I can confirm that this new blob fixes the issue with Camera and BT .. :)

thanks. that is good to know. I'll try it tonight. one question though, after flashing this ROM, you didn't lose AsusReader aka MyLibrary and is your wifi able to go to sleep when selecting "screen off" & "never when plugged in"? I lost mine after flashing Ti-X.

Still have MyLibrary on this build ya. I usually leave wifi connected, or set to (never turn off), but I'll turn it off now and test for ya.

Hmm, so I set it to when screen is off, disable. Let it sit about 30 seconds and turned screen back on. I was still connected. Let me leave this open a little while longer and see.

*second non-edit edit, lol* .. Yeah .. wifi seems to not disconnect. =\ Sorry

I can confirm that the new blob fixes camera, dunno about bluetooth since my bluetooth never broke.

This can be sorted by rooting your device with the new v5 blob referenced above.

Could I ask how you're deodexing the apks? I've found the Honeycomb patched Backsmali in the ticket about the missing HC opcode but that said that the patch would only work for backsmali not smali. So how did you re-compile the .smali into a classes.dex?

I've had no luck either with the xoom apk's. baksmali/smali 1.2.6 works fine on the current transformer apk's.

Hmm, so I set it to when screen is off, disable. Let it sit about 30 seconds and turned screen back on. I was still connected. Let me leave this open a little while longer and see.

I set mine to turn off when screen is off and when I woke up this morning my wifi was disconnected so this appears to work fine.

Roach2010, I was wondering what the next step is, with this Rom? No rush I'm reasonably happy with it until Google fix the bugs!!!

I just want to have a fast stable rom at the moment with some added extras for convenience. Not sure what direction it might take in the future.

FYI, US and WW versions now available.

    PRIME! v1.6


    This is a custom rom for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101


    Special thanks to: Hacre | afm | MoDaCo | dc13 | supercurio | Bumble-Bee | RaYmAn | netarchy | Vividboarder | CurtisBeef​


    This rom is a work in progress and all feedback is appreciated. It has everything that the stock rom has to offer with a few modifications designed to provide a better user experience. As always whenever installing any rom, please ensure that you are fully aware of what you are doing as no one enjoys seeing their pride and joy end up bricked or stuck in a boot-loop (although these are easily fixed if either were to happen so don't panic in the event that something goes wrong).


    Instructions:
    1. Copy ROM to sdcard
    2. Verify the MD5 of the zip on the sdcard, DO NOT FLASH IF THIS DOESN'T MATCH THE MD5 UNDER THE DOWNLOAD LINK!
    3. Boot into clockworkmod recovery
    4. Take a nandroid backup (optional but highly recommended)
    5. Install the ROM
    6. Reboot and wait... The first boot may take a while...
    7. After a successful restart, you can change one of the power mod or remove it if desired.


    Rom Details:
    Android 3.1
    GPS - V1.3.2
    WiFi - V5.1.50
    Bluetooth - V6.17
    Kernel - 2.6.36.3-g3eb19ec
    Build - HMJ37.prime_epad-1.6-20110716
    MobileDock - EP101-0209 (Prompts for install after first boot if required)

    See the second post of this thread for the changelog

    Known Issues:
    In Prime 1.6 if you flash a custom kernel you may experience a slight drop in performance due to a change in the way Prime optimises I/O performance.
    Install this patch in CWM to resolve the issue. - http://kan.gd/uij - This has been fixed in 1.6r2

    Battery History option in Spare Parts triggers F/C

    Hi, I thought I would give you all a short update as I haven't been online much recently. I've had a few health issues, nothing serious just enough to put me off doing anything after work besides crashing out on the sofa in front of the telly. I'm over the worst though so I'll soon be getting back on track with the next evolution of PRIME!

    Firstly, thanks for all the support and feedback, and also some good ideas. Obviously the rom at present is not much more than stock with a few tweaks and add-ons. I am mostly going to keep it that way as I prefer the stock look and the option is there for anyone to use it as a base and theme it or tweak it further to their hearts content. I have seen a lot of good stuff that has been done already and long may it continue.

    I plan to add at the very least: init.d scripts, adhoc wifi support, the speaker config fix and I am hoping to have a replacement for the power options that introduces a menu instead of the current dialog that will allow shutdown, reboot, recovery and maybe even a warmboot option. Also until Asus fix that damn gmail widget problem I have a plan to resolve this too with a bit of manual intervention.

    I have four SKU editions of the stock 8.4.4.5 rom to build from, US,WW,TW and TB? no CN???, I don't even know if there was a CN build so if anyone can confirm this or explain what the TB means that will be good to know also. I'm not promising I'll do all versions but if it won't take up too much of my time then I might.

    Future releases will probably be in two formats, standard update zips for CWM and nvflash images, I may not do an nvflash image for each SKU though, again time permitting.

    I was just putting the finishing touches to a build based on the TW 8.4.5.15 3g rom but now this has dropped I'll divert and use this build as a base instead.

    Roach is in the UK. It's the middle of the night there.

    I'm still up and have just dumped the /system folder from the HC3.1 build, expect a rom soon...

    OK, I guess it ran it's course. No one using it so I am disabling.
