[ROM] [TF201] [JB Bootloader] CyanogenMod 10 Unofficial - JZO54K - Oct 30 2012

[dj-bilbo]

Guys, an 11/30 build is up.

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B8xmL5OrdeuXU3I4Qm40ckdMcFE/edit

You know the drill.


I'm probably going to limit these builds to once or twice per week in the near future.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:jellybean,n,z

Since 11/28, only 4 code merges have taken place that we can benefit from, and 2 were translation updates. Since these builds take a non-trivial amount of CPU time and bandwidth to compile and upload, with minimal benefit, it seems like a waste of everyone's time to do 3 day a week builds.

Anyway, until CM10.1 drops for us, I'll keep on building, and you keep on flashing.

Makes sense Uejji! Thanks alot for doing this and taking the time!
Gonna flash 11/30, make a backup and test drive HB1.5... I'm guessing I'll revert to CM10 soon regardless... I always do! lol
Cheers!

Im on ICS (buld number: IML74K.WW_epad-9.4.2.28-2012025), rooted and bootloader unlocked so i cant get any updates. and I want to flash cm10 but i need to update to 4.1 (for the bootloaders) correct? Do i flash the .zip files found in the second post of the this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...80&postcount=2) to do to so?

#1 i'd encourage you to install nvflash... there are instructions in the dev section just for added security.

Regardless, you'll want to go to the 1st page of this page and follow the instructions posted by Craig.
I believe it's Oct13th build that includes the JB bootloader and, once that's done, install whatever JB rom you want.
... I guess another solution would be to follow the instruction for installing Hairy Bean rom and then once you have JB bootloader, flash the cm10 unofficial rom you want.

Couldn't verify the link you posted as i get a 404 error.
Hope that helps.

(Don't forget: Official cm10 = ICS, Unofficial cm10 = JB)

I... can't in good faith recommend you flash to JBBL at this time.

There are some performance and stability improvements with the new kernel and new blobs, but you kinda see the mess we're in right now. The only thing keeping CM10 on JBBL relevant is craig's build instructions so we can do it ourselves. Nobody is doing features or bugfixes directly for our device, and for those still on ICSBL, the CM build machine is still pumping out daily builds that are at least bringing in the general CM10 bugfixes and updates.

You'll need to do it eventually, though, as CM 10.1 will require JBBL for TF201, but don't do it now expecting to get some major improvement over the official CM10 builds.

That said, if you do want to upgrade to JBBL, you'll just need to flash one of the ROMs floating about that does it for you. The special 10/13 build on the first page installs the JBBL as well as TWRP built for JBBL, though there's now a newer version of TWRP, so you'll need to upgrade that as well. Then reboot the device, go back into recovery, and flash the latest version of whatever JBBL ROM you want.

well all currently alive roms are based on JBBL - this CM10 unofficial (although only cm10 changes), androwook (based on stock, but quite good), energy (also based on stock). other roms (jellybro, eos3, blackbean, ...) have been updated more than ~2 months ago or closed :/

CM10 unofficial for JBBL isn't alive as much as it is on life support.

The reason I'm even here today is because I needed updates for my TF201, and nobody else was building CM10 anymore. Yeah, I flashed JBBL from an already unlocked device like a lot of you probably did, so I could be on the JB kernel and blobs. Then craig sells his TF201, and the guy he sold it to didn't take his place, leaving us abandoned with no obvious way to revert to ICSBL. So, I built it that one first day, said "holy crap, I can't believe this works" and uploaded it for you guys, because I figured a lot of you were in the same state of frustration I was in concerning our device. Plus, I've been a loyal Cyanogenmod user since the G1, and I'll prefer it over anything else if given the option.

I don't want to be considered the maintainer of this rom, because I'm not (I know your post wasn't necessarily implying I was). I'm just a guy with a fairly decent system (6 core Phenom, 16GB RAM), an Ubuntu VM and some instructions to follow. Some CM change may break the build system tomorrow and I wouldn't know what to do to fix it. I work on computers and write software for a living, but I'm no kernel hacker.

If someone shows up to be a proper CM10 on JBBL maintainer, or cm10.1 builds start dropping that require JBBL, I'll change my tune. However, if someone is still on ICSBL and wants to use CM10, http://get.cm/?device=tf201 updates way more often than I'm able to.

Anyway, I'm making another build even as I type this, so that'll be up here later.

12/03 build is up

thks uejji.
a quick Q, have you noticed any quirks with your keyboard... it seems as though when i connect the keyboard to the prime, the charge status isn't accurate... i don't remember noticing that before. I'm curious is yours is working fine since you seem the only one responding in this thread, i figured i'd ask you.
thanks

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.

I echo Uejji exactly.

I flashed to craigs build and updated to JBBL and TWRP expecting that we were going to have ongoing support and then craig sells his tf201 and NRG is just doing his own ROM's built off stock. All of this is fine and it happens but like many others we're feeling abandoned and until CM10 switches to JBBL we're all relying on Uejji just to keep us up to date. Good on Uejji.

Almost flashed to NRG but the I'm really loving CM10 and would hate to give up its tweaks.

It's not on life support, as i mentioned earlier in this thread, the jelly bean bootloader will be required with cm 10.1.

The reason it wasn't changed midstream, was because of the mass of users on the ICS bootloader, it would've wreaked havoc with a switch like that, thus the reason it hasn't been adopted yet.

Edit: I reread what you posted and misinterpreted. Either way, what i wrote above still stands as the reason the official ROM hasn't been upgraded to the jelly bean bootloader.

I trust dasunsrule32 that 10.1 will drop when its ready.
No need to get anxious, just like Google doesn't offer good customer support, the CM team don't offer ETA's.
It'll be ready when its ready.
Nice to know it's not on life support though.

You know what to do.

Thanks and GAPPS?

Firstly, Thanks Uejji! Really appreciate your efforts!! <<< Understatement!

Second, what GAPPs is preferred these days?

You will have to use an Android 4.1.x gapps. 4.2.x gapps will not work.

I just use the ones from goo.im/gapps, personally.

i mentionned a few posts up about the dock vs tablet connection and how there seemed to not be acting as they used to.
I feel like someone else mentionned this in the past... it seems as thought the dock isn't "charging" the tablet as it used to, or at least the notification is absent.
For instance, right now, tablet is docked but there is no indication that the dock is charging the tablet (which would happen in the past if I am not mistaken). Moreover, the tablet's battery icon is showing a lower level than the dock, when in the past, it ought to be the opposite, indicative of the dock supplying battery to the tablet.

Anyone else notice this behavior?

The dock does not begin to charge the tablet until the tablet reaches a low charge level (below 70%, if I remember correctly). I also remember this being the case during the brief time I had my TF201 stock.

Confirmed. The question comes from time to time..

 

[dj-bilbo]

Thanks, indeed it started to charge after a bit.

Personally, I use Dual Battery Widget. It keeps a record of the battery and dock charge levels over time.
