Thanks for this great job. the version 9.4.2.15 is not yet released in switzerland, I flashed your rom with only a wipe cache and dalvik cache and it's working so well. What is amazing is that it seems to work faster now !

Thanks for everything !

whats the difference between beta build 15 and build 15 v1??

I noticed that i would get (once a day) a crash on random apps which ultimately leads to a reboot when i was using beta build 15.

I've just updated to build 15 v1 and im trying to see if any of these random reboots still occur.


anyone facing issues like this?

Have a look at the changelog, the final version includes a new kernel, fixed that asus settings bug and modifies the framework for easier system app modifications ;)

Just in case anyone else faces a similar problem with .15 v.1
It is based on the US release and therefore wifi channels 12 and 13 are not usable. I was wondering why I couldn't see my network and then it dawned on me that this was probably the reason.

Hope this helps someone.

So this means the next version will be on WW again :) Or maybe DE to get a comparision for this version too :)

I guess a DE version would not be good... Lets say I am using a non-Asus onscreen keyboard (swype), and I'll connect my dock (with a standard keyboard layout), the dock's keyboard layout would be effed up, wouldn't it? z and x swapped, typing an ö instead of a semicolon etc.

Reboots

So far since moving to .15 V1 ive seen no random reboots. On .14 i was rebooting nearly every hour. I even had 12 reboots in 1 hour as well! it was mental!!
however since moving over ive found its pretty stable.

However cant connect to my works Wifi which im pretty sure is on channel 13! :(
so fingers crossed these next 24 hours i should have a nice stable prime.
*fingers crossed*

No other issues to report yet (until i sync my google account)

No, you can adjust the keyboard of course. I can set the german version to UK or US or what ever ;)

Ill give it a try when im home tonight, Thanks for the post :)

Do not follow the instructions in that linked thread to the letter!!!! They are for a different device and our /System partition is on a different block.

REVISED INSTRUCTIONS:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
exit
adb push bin\sqlite3 /system/bin
adb shell 
su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/sq
lite3
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');"
reboot

Thanks to richardtrip for the original fix, stephen44 for pointing it out and viperboy for the correct mounting command.

I just used this method and it worked beautifully.

EDIT: You don't really need the SU after entering shell, but it won't hurt.

EDIT 2: EASIER FIX DETAILED BELOW!!!! post #641

    Virtuous Prime

    Welcome to Virtuous Prime. This is a pretty much stock build of Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich with tweaks and optimization's by the Virtuous Team.

    Virtuous Prime is the result of a collaborative team effort by the following developers:

    Virtuous S-Series

    S-Series ROM's are pretty close to stock, with basic optimisations and tweaks. This series is designed for people who rely on their device 24/7 and are not looking for the latest and greatest features. These ROM's will only be updated if and when an official release is announced.
    We also encourage people to use these stable builds as bases for their own ROM's.

    More information can be found on our Blog.

    Screen Shots

    Features

    • Virtuous S Series
    • Based on the lastest ASUS release (WW 9.4.2.28)
    • Deodexed
    • Fully zipaligned
    • De-bloated
    • Rooted
    • Stock kernel
    • Optimized for fluid performance and usability.
    • Included 1.6Ghz OC (more on that below)


    Changelog

    The changelog can be found here.


    Other Stuff

    Credits
    • AndroidRoot.mobi for the CWM port
    • Asus for their great device
    • pats4life for giving my life purpose
    • mtotho for keeping me busy

    Useful Information

    I changed the behaivior of the internal Power Modes.
    The Normal mode button now activates the 1.6Ghz mode.
    So you don't have to use any other apps anymore. Just boost your CPU via the built in Quicksettings. :)

    • Make sure your Prime is unlocked and you have CWM installed (see this thread for help and a handy tool to do that)
    • Shut down the prime
    • Hold both the Power-button and the Volume-down button until the splash screen appears and some white text in the left top corner is visible
    • Release both buttons and press the Volume-up button
    • The device now boots into your CWM recovery
    • Make a backup of your current ROM
    • Inside CWM select "wipe data/factory reset" (optional but highly recommended)
    • Then flash the rom zip as usual

    Downloads

    Make sure you do a full wipe (aka "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM) before flashing this!!!

    Please note that the ROM needs to settle down after the flash so give it at least 10 minutes after booting to reach the normal speed and smoothness!!!
