Hi xda, I think we've worked very hard on JellyBean roms and there are numerous famous releases, like
  • Team EOS 3
  • My CyanogenMod 10
  • My LiquidSmooth
  • Paranoid Android
.

But unfortunately, those roms were made for the Asus Transformer TF101, and TF101G users had to either stay at ICS or miss their 3G/GSM functionality.

I think it's time to resolve this problem.

Without a further due, here is my test-build of CM10 with 3G+GSM enabled : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31119007/xda/tf101-cm-3g-test.zip

PLEASE NOTE: You can achieve full 3G functionality with this rom, all you have to do is use 'PPP widget' from the play store. Several users confirmed this working. I am looking for a better solution, though.

Please do not expect this to work at all.
The rom will boot, but since I have no TF101G model, I cannot test 3G/GSM functionality.

What I need is people with a TF101G, willing to flash this and report back, in a constructive way (logcat).

Please remember that this is a dev thread.
No off-topic discussion here, please. Only development and topic related posts.

If you want to support this project, just hit 'thanks'.

Your move, xda community :) !

P.S.: My source will be on github soon. I am still working on the Divemaster kernel; it's my top priority for now.

then post a logcat from the process! :)

It's my first time trying to retrieve a logcat... I've followed this thread without success... It returns nothing.

There are no error message when i try to add an APN manually. It simply not save my APN data.

But, when I go to Settings/More.../Mobile networks/Network operators it returns "Error while searching for networks". I've no "bars" on gsm strength icon near the clock...

With Android Revolution HD 3.4.3 3G i've no trouble at all... It's an ICS ROM, but it show me that the hardware is working properly.

I appreciate your effort. Nobody else seams to bother with this device. Please tell me how can I be more helpfull. ;)

This is great work, but I'm having exactly the same problem here. 3G options are all there, but 3G won't connect. APN list is empty and can't add a new APN. Searching for network operators gives an error.

Also, in Settings / About Tablet, Baseband is showing as Unknown.

ARHD3.4.3 3G works fine here too. ARHD inital setup works like stock ROM - it defaults correctly to New Zealand and automatically sets language, timezones (and maybe baseband etc?).

But I had exactly the same problem problem (3G not working, Baseband Unknown) in Revolver 4 3G too. And neither JB3G nor Revolver initial setup will default my location to NZ, I have to manually set timezone. Could this be anything to do with me being in way-out little-old New Zealand (rather than US/Europe)? Mine is the WW (Worldwide) TF101G model.

I'll try a Logcat tonight when I get home. Happy to try anything else to help or provide any other information - very keen to have this working.

Thanks.

P.S The "PPP Widget" app works fine and allows 3G to connect once configured, so the hardware's all good.

Attached a logcat - hope this is right, never done this before. I started logcat from adb, then went into settings and attempted to add an APN, then terminated the logcat session.

Attached is a logcat from my device as well.
Same problem - simply does not save the APN settings.

PPP Widget however works.

    Front vidcam, Gallery stops working

    I really like this ROM and hope you have time to continue improving it (and get internal 3G working!)

    If I use the inbuilt camera, switch to the front camera and then try to start the video recorder, Gallery stops working. Video recording works fine on the rear camera.

    Logcat attached, this is what I logcat'd:

    1. Start Camera from home screen (it's already on front camera)
    2. Touch the vidcam icon
    3. Gallery stops working, click OK
    4. Stop debugging

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    I can confirm PPP Widget works fine :) (it didn't work in other CM10 roms)

    Off-topic: Calendar wont sinc... says no calendars :S


    Morning ..

    Did you solve this no calendar issue ?
    I've flashed different gapps packages, and no way to have calendar syncing ...

    Thanks for the reply. I flashed KatKiss 4.22 last night and was very impressed, however I could not get the kernel add on and or the PPP widget running. To be honest I really wanted 3G to be running innate and as such have reverted back to Android Revolution ICS. Which is not as nice but at least it all works. I came across some great work by RaymanFX and others but it appears to have all dried up around Feb/March and i think times have finally caught up with the 101.
    Lets hope Timduru continues with 4.3 and gets it as good as 4.22.

    Raskern, try josteink's no name nightlies.

    i'm currently running on 4.2.2 and with CrossBreeder it works really fast and snappy.
    no problems with 3G either although its experimental.

    There's 4.3 also as below but I would want to wait a while more before anything else as I'm using my TF101G for work also.
