THIS MOD HAS BEEN RETIRED. This is a 1.1-based modded ROM. I am no longer developing 1.1-based solutions but I am leaving this post up for current users, or for anyone who still wishes to use it.
==================================
What this is
TNT Lite is an alternate 1.1 based ROM for the GTab, based on the stock ROM that Viewsonic supplies. This will flash system, bootloader and your kernel, so be aware of this. Clockworkmod is NOT recommended for use with TNT Lite flashing (as it does not update the bootloader as required by the vendor), but it is an option if you feel you must use it (ie. if you are stuck in a boot loop and need to wipe your user data). It is a "mostly stock" ROM.
TnT Lite makes the following changes to the stock firmware:
- Rooted and has SuperUser app preinstalled.
- Google Marketplace has been added. It might be crippled by default, but it's fixable with this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175. Also added erraskey's mahimahi modification.
- Removes the TnT homescreen and replaces it with a stock Google launcher
- Removes the over-the-air (OTA) updater
- Removes most of the TnT stock apps and replaces them with standard Android replacements (the only exception being the web browser which cannot be changed yet, and the music application).
- Development and Spare Parts apps have been added.
- Busybox pre-installed. Thanks to bekit for his work on cm6.1!
- Adds VEGA IFile Manager, replacing Estrongs.
- Adds back the /system/xbin folder, which VS removed for some reason. Internal binaries like “sqlite3" now work.
- Adds a full YouTube app.
- Flash is pre-installed.
- Adds extra UI animations (thanks to Rothnic for those enhancements!).
- Includes a TnT Lite version number in the "About Tablet" area.
- Adds an Adam keyboard and Sniffer app (thanks to gojimi for that!). Also adds a Gingerbread-based keyboard.
- G-Sensor hack and Calibration hacks (see the archives for nods on that).
Recommended Pre-requisites
1. Setup and learn how to use nvflash. This is your backout in case something bad happens, so I would highly recommend you understand how to use this, in advance. Link details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950. nvflash is specific to Tegra 2 devices only.
2. Setup and learn how to use adb. This is a standard Android tool that will give you a remote shell into the device. This is helpful to push and pull files, and do general troubleshooting. For example, you can do a data wipe within adb if your device boot loops by typing "adb remount" and then "Adb shell wipe data" and then reboot. A VERY helpful tool for anyone modding their device.
Information on adb and how to install it / use it can found in several area in XDA, or on other Android sites. It's part of the Google Android SDK.
3. Have your device on a stock ROM baseline, or a previous version of TNT Lite 4.x or below. For example, build 3588 is the lastest 1.1-based stock ROM, as of this writing. Details on how to return to a stock ROM are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9247367#post9247367. An earlier version of TNT Lite (4.x or earlier) is also an acceptable baseline. TNT Lite 5.x is a higher risk -- please see the TwoTapsX post for details on that.
Other 1.1-based ROMs should also work, but the lowest risk imo is 3588 stock or an older TNT Lite version. This is how I generally test my mods.
Installation for legacy 1.0.1 or 1.1 stock/mod users
a)Instructions for those with standard recovery:
- Extract the RAR to the root of your internal memory. So, for example, if your device is mounted on your Windows F drive, you need to extract the RAR so that you have an F:\update.zip file and an F:\recovery folder. Then, unmount the drive cleanly.
- Power off the device, then begin the flash process by holding the power switch and volume up switch for several seconds. You should see a recovery screen and it will take 1-2 minutes to complete.
- After the update is complete, the system will reboot.
- Optional, but recommended. Do a data wipe / factory reset once the device is rebooted. Settings -- Security -- Factory Data Reset.
Note: these instructions are for the internal memory. If you have no access to that (ie stuck in a boot loop), you can add the files to a microSD card and that will work. However, you need to make one edit to the \recovery\command file, which is a text file. Edit it in notepad and change "SDCARD" to "SDCARD2" and resave it. But, make sure that Windows doesn't add a .TXT extension - it HAS to be called "command".
b)Instructions for those with clockworkmod .8:
- Extract the RAR and place the update.zip file anywhere in /sdcard (do NOT just copy the original RAR, that won't work! You have to open up the RAR and copy the update.zip inside. You don't need the /recovery folder for cwm). I would recommend putting the file on the root of /sdcard, since it will be easier to upgrade that way.
- Reboot into recovery. Do a backup first, as that's always a good idea.
- Then, choose "apply sdcard:update.zip", assuming you added the update.zip to the root of /sdcard, and run it.
- Reboot.
- Optional, but recommended. Do a data wipe / factory reset once the device is rebooted. For cwm users, you would do that within the cwm tool itself.
Note #1: The first reboot might sit for a long time (as of 4.4.0, it's a Honeycomb animation) - just wait and it should finish within 3 minutes or so. If if does not or you see the device looping, you might need a user data wipe.
Note #2: "Status 7" errors. I had this happen to me once, and an SD re-partition corrected it. I believe it's some kind of partition corruption that eventually manifests itself.

(updated 3/30/2011)
There is no supplement, at this time.
The supplement is layered over the base build - these are just file copies, like a "hotfix". Run the main release first, reboot, then setup and install the supplement.
Changelog:
- (4.4.0) Added clemsyn's v7 kernel, to fix the sleep issue. Also "unfixed" the Camera to correct the mirroring issue.
- (4.3.2) Fixed issue with Flash 10.1 reversion by adding the 10.2 apk into the installation script.
- (4.3.1) Fixed the home and search buttons breaking after wiping the user data
- (4.3.0) Based off 3991 system.img (legacy kernel and bootloader, however), camera fixed, new Market, recovery command line toggle added, 3588 bootloader added
- (4.2.5) New Market (stars?), new Gmail. Also patched for this vulnerability -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977154
- (4.2.4) build.prop changes to fix recent Market issues (this came from several posts in XDA)
- (4.2.3) Driver update that improves Nenamark scores (40 fps or higher)
- (4.2.2) Added Google Maps 5.1 and the Maps flip fix (thanks jwischka, atakapa and Butch1326!)
- (4.2.1) Add Adam keyboard, Sniffer app (thanks gojimi!). Adds updated Nvidia drivers that correct tearing in the Settings app (thanks proengin!)
- (4.2.0) TnT 3588 base. Added Gingerbread keyboard option, Framerate / refresh increase to 60 (thanks to Dexter_nlb and gojimi!), added mahimahi build.prop update for additional Market apps, 2.2.11 Market also added.
------------------------
New for TNT Lite 4.3.0+ : GTAB 3588 Recovery Pack
This is a set of scripts to change between standard recovery and clockworkmod recovery, without having to reboot. All you need is adb or a Terminal Emulator package.
I don't use clockworkmod for flashing ROM's anymore, due to its inability to flash the bootloader (something that may be required, in the future). But I still use it for nandroid backups and data wipes, so this is how I can easily switch between the two.
a) To flash recovery to 3588 stock recovery, using your GTablet
- Download the app "Android Terminal Emulator", by Jack Palevich.
- Run the app, toggle the soft keyboard and change the font settings, if desired (default is very small)
- Type "su" (Superuser should allow su access.
- Type "fixrecovery.sh". This should run the flash_image tool and complete in 5-10 seconds
Reboot into recovery to test. 3588 stock has no options, so assuming you have no update.zip in the root of your /sdcard, it should just error out with an "!" error (that's what we want to see).
b) To flash recovery to legacy clockworkmod .8 bekit version recovery, using your GTablet
- Follow steps 1 to 3, above
- Type "cwmrecovery.sh". This should run the flash_image tool and complete in 5-10 seconds.
Reboot into recovery to test. You should see the clockworkmod .8 bekit screen, which means the flash was successful.
c) To flash either recovery with adb
Just use an "adb shell" and then run the shell script needed.
Issues / Caveats
More than a few users have reported a reboot looping issue either during, or shortly after, upgrading to this firmware. I would go on the assumption that this could happen to you, so I would be prepared for that and try some of the possible fixes that users have reported, below.
Pre-req: Have a microSD card ready of use. This will be the only way to re-flash or install clockworkmod, if you get stuck in a reboot loop. If you don't have a microSD card, then you're only fix would be to use nvflash to fully erase the system (see the steps in the nvflash link in this post). With that in mind, I would try these steps, in this order (you'd try the next step if the first step did not fix the issue)....
- Try to reflash first, using the microSD.
- Try to reflash to TnT stock - again using the microSD.
- Install clockworkmod recovery (see below) using the microSD, which will give you extra capabilities. Then, run clockworkmod recovery and wipe your user data.
- Re-run clockworkmod recovery and re-partition your SD card. Suggested setup (as of Jan 2011) is 2048 and swap of 0. (this last step will wipe the /sdcard data, so keep that in mind).
Second, check out this excellent post from dcom222 if you are still stuck and need some guidance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9439414&postcount=7

Lastly, check out this thread for acore FCs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9454175#post9454175 (thanks, digger44!)
- Sleep mode (clicking on the power button) doesn't seem to work. There is no known fix, other than adding a customized kernel. Another suggestion is to leave the device to "never sleep", at least for now. EDIT: Should be fixed with 4.4.0.
- When clicking on the "Notifications" button in Settings (the one that's greyed out) the device semi-locks. To unlock, just click on the "!" button i the uppper right side on the device, on the status bar.

5.0.0 And Archives
ARCHIVED NOTES for TNT Lite 5.0.0 ..... use only as a reference, in case you are already on TNT Lite 5!!!!!
For TNT Lite 5 backout procedures, please visit the TwoTapsX post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998663
5.0.0 SPECIAL NOTE, PLEASE READ FIRST
Before you do ANYTHING, read the 5.0.0 instructions. Then, read it again. You HAVE to be running 3588 stock, including stock recovery. DO NOT ATTEMPT 5.0.0 if you are not on 3588 stock, or else your system will be semi-bricked post-5.0.0 install and you WILL need to use nvflash to fix it. DO NOT USE CLOCKWORKMOD to flash TNT Lite 5.0.0, it DOES NOT WORK.

Instructions for TNTL 5.0.0 ONLY (Please READ, this is NEW):
As of version 5.0.0, Viewsonic has made some pretty large changes under-the-hood which REQUIRES you to be running TnT 3588 stock, in particular their stock recovery is required. So the device would need to be prepped, in advance. 3588 is the latest stock version (as of this writing) and it's the version that the OTA (over the air) updater would give you, if you were running clean stock.
You can do this two ways:
1. nvflash it -- I have a Nix based 3588 nvflash script in the references area, as a template.
2. Run a stock update.zip. You can find 3588 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000
To confirm that you are running 3588, go into Settings -- About Tablet and check the Tap UI Version (you should see 1.1.3588 or simiilar).
One 3588 is running, you can download the 5.x.x firmware above and extract it to the root of your internal memory. So, for example, if your device is mounted on your Windows F drive, you need to extract the RAR so that you have an F:\update.zip file and an F:\recovery folder. Then, unmount the drive cleanly.
Then, reboot into recovery (power and volume up) and allow the update to run - you can hit the Home button to toggle the visible status, btw. Once completed, it will reboot, update the BCT partition, then reboot again into TnT Lite 5.0.0.
Most likely, the device will HANG on that last reboot - that's because 5.x.x REQUIRES a data wipe. Reboot once more into recovery if that occurs, than choose to wipe your user data and reboot one more time (notice that their new recovery is similar to clockworkmod). You should now be able to boot into the UI.
If you didn't read this and tried running this with clockworkmod or a previous version of TnT Lite, you'll probably need to use the original bekit 1105 nvflash image to unbrick your device. So PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS!
nvflash restore process, in case you need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
and, a good reference on nvflash for Windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914039
and another reference for nvflash on Windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989320
Instructions from 5.0.0 to newer TNTL builds (standard recovery):
TNTL 5.0.0 comes with a new recovery which has some clockworkmod functionality. To update to a newer version from TNTL5:
- Add the update.zip and recovery folder, same same as the instructions above.
- Reboot into recovery and the installation should automatic. However, you'd need to reboot manually, after it completes. You can also chose to NOT copy the recovery folder if you want, an then use the recovery tool to manually update the firmware. It's your choice.
Instructions from 5.0.0 to newer TNTL builds (clockworkmod .8):
- Similar to the standard instructions, except that clockworkmod has no auto-install (and so you don't need the recovery folder). Just point the tool to your new update.zip file and run it. Then, reboot when it's completed.
Backout (ie. to old stock, VEGAn, TNT Lite 4.x, etc):
I have successfully backed out of TNT Lite 5 in two ways:
1- Re-run a stock ROM. Specifically, I tested 3588. STOCK is important, as the bootloader will be downleveled to the necessary revision.
2- nvflash, using bekit's 1105 image.
In the case of stock, you might get stuck in a boot hang due to the possible need to wipe user data. So, I would recommend running the update.zip off a microSD so you can install clockworkmod .8 (old version) to give you the ability to wipe data.
Once you have old stock back, you'll be able to install older versions of TNT Lite, VEGAn, zPad, etc. as the bootloader is downleveled again.
Caveats to scare you:
- For 5.x.x users, custom kernels may not work. I haven't tested this myself, but given the changes under-the-hood you should assume that they may not work anymore.
- Also for 5.x.x users, flipping between mods will be more difficult, since 5.x.x changes the bootloader. To go to VEGAn, gADAM or any of the other mods will require an nvflash back to bekits 1105 image first, at least via the testing I've done.
- Do NOT use this firmware with newer versions of clockworkmod, especially 5.x.x users! It will probably cause a boot failure because the boot.img is not padded. I personally use .08 and my docs are written around .08. For 5.x users, the clockworkmod version is the ONLY version that will work, tmk.
- New Market has issues with any device whose SD partitions have been altered outside of the default of 2048 - you'll get a "not enough disk space" when downloading. The fix is to alter your SD partitioning again to the default of 2048. A big thanks to proengin for pointing me in the right direction, on this.
Other Links of Note:
- NEW Clockworkmod v.8 only update.zip (for technical users only -- NEW for use with TnT Lite 5.x.x only!) : http://www.mediafire.com/?ykn3jwq7kvegc4g
This is a replacement for standard recovery. It adds the ability to backup and restore system images, for example. My builds will be tested with this, as I use it myself.
3/11 NOTE: Using clockworkmod is a known risk - it does NOT update the bootloader which is THE cause for a lot of upgrade issues to TNT Lite 5. Imo, if you want to tread here and install clockworkmod, then you must learn how to use nvflash to backout of it. Given the issues in the last week, I would say that this is an absolute requirement.

Mostly Running Ok
Well, after installing this, and the wifi fix from tegra forums (I can't link since I'm a "new member"), it's running pretty good. It's VERY fast!
But I am having one big problem with it. Dolphin keeps giving me 400 errors (bad verb) on the majority of the links I click. About 20% of the time it will work, and the rest give me the error. If I use the normal browser it works fine. Since I can't uninstall Dolphin, I'm at a loss as to what to try... I like this ROM best out of all of the others (Cyanogen barely works at all, and I hate the interface on the vanilla version).
Any thoughts on a fix?
roebeet said:
I admittedly did not use Dolphin HD all that much - it was meant as an alternative for the TnT Browser. But no issues in limited testing. I'll have to play around with it some more.
400 means that you are getting to the site, but there's a problem. Maybe the site doesn't like Dolphin(?).

Well, 400 means that the HTTP request headers are somehow borked. But since certain sites give me the specific error "Invalid Verb", my guess is that it's not sending the proper HTTP verb (GET / POST / PUT / HEAD, DELETE / OPTIONS / TRACE / CONNECT / PATCH, with GET, POST and HEAD being common).
And it's multiple sites. I've caught it about 50% of the time with google, 100% of the time with Dolphin's home page, and about 20% - 50% with other pages...
When I get some time, I'll setup one of my servers to log the entire raw request to see what it's doing.
But since this is built into the build, I can't even try re-installing Dolphin (I can try re-installing the entire ROM, and likely will at some point)...
Thanks for the response...

I'm probably going to pull it out on the next build - it was a temp solution to get around the TnT browser, but with the market now working a user could easily install whatever browser they want, now.
As for when the next build will come, I'm waiting for VS's firmware update next week (assuming it's released, of course).
Does flash work in the browser in this ROM?

Yes, it works in the TnT browser. I believe the DolphinHD browser is spotty at best and Firefox does not work, tmk.
You obviously need to sideload it as this ROM was released before the Flash update came out. I will most likely add the Flash update to the next build - I'm holding off as I'm hoping that VS releases their big update as they promised.
Hello Roebeet. Still crusing on your full vanilla from 11/06; been ultra stable for me. But i really want a clean build but with standard mail, calendar and contact apps so i can seemlessly sync all with my work exchange account.
Does your lite vesion have this, or one of rothnic's? Or do i have to switch to a zpad image to get those apps working?

I think the zPad and TnT Lite versions have the canned versions (or closer to canned). I ripped out most of the TnT apps in TnT Lite, except for the browser which is heavily integrated with TnT.
MD5 Failure
Roebeet,
I'm having difficulty flashing Boot and System from CWM v.8. I'm getting MD5 Checksum Failed! for both. I've downloaded the file three times and unpacked it using winRAR.
Any one else get TnT Lite installed thru v.8?
The Dude
Got it working by installing the first way and then adding CWM v.8. It took me a while to figure out I had to also copy the command file to the recovery folder to get it to run the CWM update.zip.
Thanks again Roe, can't wait for TnT Lite v2

I think you have to copy all three .img files are the md5 file looks for all of them(?). At least I think that's what happens. Give that a try.
v2 next week, assuming VS releases their firmware update and I can actually get it OTA.
Got another question- I lost sdcard... It worked for the first few boots (i used ACV and opened a file), but now it's not mounting. I can mount it on the PC via CWM still, so it's still formatted and the files are still there.
The Dude (will abide for the next week)
<edit> reloaded ROM, and selectively restored backup apps via titanium (removed all cyanogen apps, and a few others). seems to be great now. much better than CM. Still have to do timezone tho, and get the latest XBMC remote installed.
Flash, AB, ACV, overclocked, so far it's great. I'm stoked for v2!

It should be the same as stock -- /mnt/sdcard or /sdcard for internal, and /sdcard2 for the microSD. I never messed with that.
Just gotta say I am really enjoying the TnT light. It is stable and after changing the build.prop to fix my timezone and doing the market fix it is absolutely awesome. If both could be integrated into the TnT light it would be perfect.
Big ups for Roebeet

The TZ should be fixed in the VS upcoming update (at least that's why they claim). Hopefully we can find a better Market fix down the road, but this one ain't too bad - just takes a few manual steps.

@ roebeet after far too many hours trying to load this... victory is mine!!
and was well worth the effort, nothing listed worked for me, had to use nvflash to load
Can't wait to see what's next
Nice work, and donations coming when payday arrives
Roebeet,
Finally switched to tnt lite this morning.... but I don't see the calendar app (need it to sync with outlook on exchange at work). The email and contacts apps are there (just what I was looking for). Does anyone have the 2.2 calendar app files or can I just use any generic 2.2 apks?
Thanks!
EDIT: Contacts do not sync... it allows you to check this setting but it does not sync.
Edit: I imported a 2.2 calendar apk and calendar provider apk and it runs and it syncs! Now I am going to try and import a different contact ap and provider ap
Edit: New contact app working and syncing!
Thanks Roebeet for all your work here... and the others.. you rock!

Updated to version *** MacLite v0.8 baremetal - modular *** - clean and lean, fastloading fully odexed Froyo Sense ROM without unnecessary bloat. Factory Reset save, unlike almost every other custom ROM out there and battery optimized as never before . This ROM implements a new CPU governor implementation based on screen on/off status that should theoretically be more responsive and more power efficient. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. More info here: [INITSCRIPT] screenstate_scaling - switch CPU freq governor on screen state
Note: v0.8 includes now undervolting and some fixes and updates to v0.7/v1.0. If you still use an older release please update to v0.8 to benefit not only from the battery improvements .
Version 1.0 added. This is a full ROM, unlike the modular version, that includes all the improvements of 0.7 and adds the AppsBundle package from posting #2. This is for all people who have problems with installing the modules, and it gives you something similar to a full featured official ROM, with all applications updated to the latest versions. Download link at the bottom. Development however continues with the modular MacLite version.

Dear all,
I'm a member in these forums for quite some time, on the reading side most of that . But I think I could at least give a bit back to all the great folks here in the forum. Here comes the latest MacLite build so far. I've simplified and modified quite a number of things, still leaving the ROM as original as possible, while adding hopefully valuable features and performance improvements. This ROM takes ideas and contributions from many different cooked versions and information + help in the forums. Full credit goes to all of the original authors and their particular contributions. Too many to remember and not to forget anyone. Thank you all!

MacLite is based on Paul's official Modaco FroYo "original" ROM (not R8), but is re-rooted and updated to Superuser 2.3.5 + latest busybox 1.17.1. This version goes a step further, to bare metal . If you know nlite for WinXP, it's that what this is for Froyo Sense. Stripped to the core, fully odexed, as a basis for individual configurations.
The following changes and features were included:
- Automatic full wipe during installation to prevent any problems, make a backup first!
- APN fix (should find and set your APN automatically out of the box)
- Kernel tuning (Auto-Task Killer with lowmem-optimum settings)
- Kernel tuning (vm settings)
- Perflock disabler
- Interactive and Powersave Schedulers
- Implementation of FloHimself's screen on/off governor, if on, ondemand with slightly reduced max CPU freq. (800MHz for more battery juice), if off powersave with 245MHz only. Thanks! NO SetCPU required anymore and DO NOT USE IT!
- Untervolting enabled with conservative settings. Thanks iscaela
- Changed media_profiles.xml for better quality
- Terminfo
- Wifi fix for streaming in sleepmode
- Bluetooth fixes for connectivity/pairing
- New framework-res.apk with B&W Battery Indicator/Percentage
Removed space and battery wasting applications/widgets are (see posting #2 below on how to restore):
- AppSharing
- DCSStock
- Facebook
- FriendStream (broken since Twitters change to OAuth)
- FriendStreamWidget (broken since Twitters change to OAuth)
- Flickr
- Footprints
- FootprintsWidgets
- GenieWidget
- Google Search
- Google Talk
- HtcFacebook
- htcmailwidgets (do not work with the new Email client, use app instead of widget)
- install_flash_player (latest Flash player included instead)
- Learn More
- Maps (replaced, see below)
- NewsReader
- NewsReaderWidget
- PDFViewer
- Quickoffice
- Sim Toolkit
- SocialNetworkProvider
- Stocks
- StockWidget
- Teeter
- Twitter (broken since Twitters change to OAuth)
- TwitterWidget (broken since Twitters change to OAuth)
- VoiceSearch
If someone knows in where the default Picture Frame, not HTC photo frame, is hidden, please let me know. That is still something redundant.
The following were previously added applications in /data/apps, they are removed from the baremetal ROM now and are listed again as space-saving fully odexed apps in the second posting in this thread:
- 3GWatchdog
- adbWireless
- Gallery3D
- Maps (latest brut version 4.4.0 added to /system/app again )
- MarketEnabler
- SpareParts
- Y5Battery
The default Mail.apk application was previously replaced by Improved Email. In v0.8 I added the default mail client back as Improved Email has problems with Exchange accounts and push mail updates.
The only app additions to the baremetal system are the odexed SuperUser 2.3.6.1 (update) as well as the final Adobe Flash Player.
Previously in the data/local partition, and thus not surviving a factory reset, the following configurations are now part of the system again (and will be made upgradeable in posting 2)
- AdBlock (hosts)
- DNS settings (resolv.conf, set to Google DNS) and
- APN configuration (apns-conf.xml)
Added goodies, the stock HTC wallpapers are replaced by the fantastic background pictures from NeoPhyTe's ROM, thanks for that! I made them still a bit smaller saving even more precious space.
142 MB free without SD card and buggy A2SD+ implementations .
This ROM is one of the few that is fully odexed, meaning it will have a lot of free space without a SD-EXT partition and should run a bit faster than all the deodexed ones. It does *not* include A2SD+ as this reportedly causes SD card corruptions with Froyo for EXTx and FAT32 partitions when connecting to a PC.
It also does not include a lot of things that nobody really needs but are nowadays included in almost every ROM. To name a few: Wifi 802.11n (uses more battery), OpenVPN, CIFS, EXT4, CFQ scheduler, bash (does a normal user really need these?!).
There is intentionally no configuration tool, the idea is KISS (keep it simple and stupid) which is easy and usable for most normal users.
This is a very clean lean build as a baseline ROM for individual additions; hopefully stable and speedy, your feedback is welcome. If you have SD card corruption issues, please give it a shot and feedback if it solves the FAT32 corruption.
Simple Installation:
For rooted devices only, flash with Amon-RA or ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not create a swap or EXTn partition (whole SD card formatted as FAT32 only). No wipe necessary, this will be done automatically. Backup your data first.
Please follow these detailed steps:
1) Start phone in recovery mode with Amon-RA
2) Partition the SD, no swap, no EXTn, all FAT32
3) Wipe data, cache, Dalvik
4) Switch to USB mode
5) Copy all the packages to the flashcard (or v1.0 only for full install)
6) Flash them all, starting with MacLite_vX.X.zip
7) Reboot and go through the normal setup wizard
8) Voila
Please make sure you update to a Froyo radio too. Some people report high battery drain with the latest 5.23 version with 3G. I therefore recommend using 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2.
Have fun!
Mac
...and, if this one still screws your SD card, buy a different brand
Download:
I don't intend to create a new release with pointless fixes every other day, although they have 0.x numbers the downloads are stable working releases that should keep you going for a while
v0.8 http://www.multiupload.com/9U8PV07Y3B Modular Version
v1.0 http://www.multiupload.com/BVNXRU9EBI Full Version (MacLite v0.7 + integrated AppsBundle) - v1.0 is not yet updated to v0.8 base which is newer!
To update a previous version (v0.6 or v0.7) please flash v0.8 over your existing setup, but make a backup first!
Add-On Packages
=============
These add-ons restore functionality from the official Froyo Sense release back to MacLite if you need / want them and provide essential 3rd party add-ons and tools. They reside in /system/app and will not take up additional space. Please install these on top of MacLite by flashing the zip package in Recovery mode with Amon-RA or ClockworkMod Recovery.

Best way to install and avoid eventual problems:
1) copy the ROM and all update (or update bundle) zips to your SD card
2) reboot into recovery
3) flash the main ROM and all updates
4) reboot and go through the setup wizard that should configure all apps automatically
5) done
If you add anything later, please get a file manager (e.g. Astro), browse to /system/app and run HtcSetupWizard.apk manually *after* you installed the update zips. That should also do the necessary configurations as at first boot. Not sure if this is really required, just in case of problems you could give it a shot.
...or even simpler, do a factory reset (wipe data & cache) after installing all add-ons you like.
DO THIS ONLY IN RECOVERY MODE AFTER INSTALLING ALL THE 1st TIME
Curious. Are the widgets for Facebook, Friendstream etc removed as well or just the apps?
Apps and widgets are gone altogether. As clean as it gets.
M'kayyy

It's based on Paul's clean official odexed version, but adds the changes from Pinky 1.3. So you have also the cool config system.
In my opinion You should try to prepare some updates, that will help people in removing useless google/htc stuff from Desire, than making another custom rom.

I made this ROM as almost every other existing one is deodexed and/or bloated. There is no lean original version. Updates are therefore not really suitable if one doesn't have a good basis to work up on.
I'll see what is the best way for the next version, I still have some changes in mind like a switchable 802.11n. All which are part of a stable baseline. Anything in addition to that would then be possible as updates and addons.
Updated to v0.2. Please see the first posting for details.

If you still have an EXTx partition that would explain it, please repartition your card with FAT32 only and remove any old extra partitions.
If the corruption happens on the FAT32 part (I only had problems with EXTx and A2SD+) then this is a different issue. I understand you do not have the "read only" corruption error, your problem is that your phone can not access the SD card when it is mounted under Windows (and not properly dismounted), which is the correct behavior.
Will try this rom, it has all of the things I want. (Odexed, removed useless apps (ecxept facebook) and it's fast) Thanks.
Stock framework-res
Thanks for a great ROM. Works great.
Is it possible to upload stock framework-res with circle battery?
Thanks.

The problem occurs with the FAT32 partition and it is descripted in my post and it only occurs when A2SD is activated and exists and EXT2/3 partition.
If A2SD is not active, that problem does not occur.
I also tried the tests with the CyanogenMod before installing the A2SD and it worked fine, but the problem begins when the A2SD is installed.

Yes, I understand that.
If you look at my other thread you find that there is another problem with A2SD+, resulting in the "read only" corruption on the EXTn partition. That is different from your issue and in my opinion far more serious as it renders the phone partly useless. And to be honest, I did not have that FAT32 problem nor was looking into it. However I can understand how to reproduce it. You changed the phone from disk drive to charge only without unmounting it in Windows. And what probably happened is that A2SD+ somehow stays in the way of doing the switch by itself. Solution: unmount the drive first in Windows as every other card or USB stick (not sure if that really helps ).
I'm going to build another version that has the ext4 support and anything related to A2SD+ completely removed, hopefully that solves the FAT32 problem too besides the already fixed "read only" thing.
Sweet Jesus yes. Something that strips out all the useless, pointless crap like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Let people get that crap off the market if they want it, but give us a clean first boot.
Awesome.

Unmounting the drive in Windows was my first try, but the problem is the same.
The problem is not in Windows, it is in the phone. It seems the phone does not update the system files after the first PC connection, but it does it in the next power off.
Talking about the "read only" problem, I had that problem only once, but I could solved it checking the drive with Windows and I thought it was by the same problem.
Could you explain me how can I do to reproduce the "read only" problem with a deodexed ROM?
Regards
I've made a brand new test build, this time it's really down to the very basics to figure out the corruption issue.
And it comes with a changed name as there is no Pinky in it .
MacLite v0.3 is based on Paul's official Modaco FroYo, but is re-rooted and updated to latest Superuser 2.3.2.2 +
latest busybox 1.17.1. In addition it has only included bash, /data/apps (for easy removal/update) + custom boot
screen/sound removed capability (none included).
Removed space and battery wasting applications/widgets:
AppSharing
FriendStream
Stocks
Twitter
Facebook
Flickr
Footprints
Maps (replaced, see below)
PDFViewer
Quickoffice
SocialNetworkProvider
Teeter
VoiceSearch
Added applications (in /data/apps):
3GWatchdog
Gallery3D
Maps (latest brut version)
MarketEnabler
Y5Battery
B&W Battery Indicator (Framework)
131MB free. Odexed.
Again, this is a test build that misses a lot of additional functionality and further cleanup. If you have SD card
corruption issues, please give it a shot and feedback if it solves the FAT32 corruption. Changes can then be
implemented in a more complete version.
It uses default settings and governor, so battery life, speed and behavior should be identical to the official
release.
Thanks!

@simemu
The read only corruption only affects EXTx partitions, and if this happens it basically screws up your whole Android OS. It's not possible to be caused or repaired by Windows itself. Windows is technically incapable to access EXT partitions, nor could it check or repair them.
I assume it is really some problem of incompatibility between A2SD+, which acts as a kind of file system driver, and the external machine. Problems were reported with Windows, Linux and Mac connections. So it must really be a problem within the phone.
To reproduce it you need an EXTx partition with applications installed to it. Then connect it to your PC and try to transfer some data to your SD card. It will give you the "read only" error and the only way to fix is is to take the card out and plug it in a PC/laptop and repartition/format it externally. Pretty messy.
But there is hope. Please give this new test build a try and report back .
How can I remove the apps I don't want? Remove them from the zip file?

Thanks!
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your tablet.. Image has been tested on a Toshiba Folio 100 and works fine if guidelines are followed.

Weeds2000 gave it a go, and fixed the download of paid apps! im sure alot will be happy to read this.
Then i found another tweak in the screen driver, to increase framerate which currently was only 51. now its increased to 80.
on top of this, DerArtem is currently working on making it possible to use USB 3G dongles on our folio, so we can go online using the phone functionality in Android. I have for now, enabled some phone functions and activated the signal level indicator (might be annoying, but enhancement has a cost for now).
It also seems, that i by mistake had enabled locationservices in the build.prop, so at every boot the GPS, which we don't have, was enabled and caused an additional CPU load during a bootup. this is now fixed as well.
31.12.2010
the update pack includes some fixes for wpa_supplicant issue, where it did not switch to the correct adhoc wpa_supplicant.
and weeds2000 has brought a new update to the orientation so compass works, but mouse is still wrong.
lastly it fixes the sensor readings which made your tablet unable to rotate.
30.12.2010
A little more details on v1.3 update release..
V1.3 went through a public beta1 stage and issues were found and fixed where possible.
While fixing bugs in 1.3beta a 3D performance pack was found with the Viewsonic forum, and i tested it with our Folio, with changes as required to match our system. and it increased framerates. So that is now part of the new 1.3.
Furthermore the filesystem I/O performance bugs were found and fixed, and we now have a 330MB partition running on a loopback device, making database calls and small file changes much faster.
With the ElocityA7 i found the newest Flashplayer minor update revision, and of course replaced our Toshiba beta with the new one found.
Other users has suggested kernel tweaks which also has been added to the v1.3, one of them is the "swappiness" parameter, it is suggested to increase application handling on our folio and its now "live" in this release.
Sol Ido, provided us with the 0.3.4 edition of the FolioWidget, which includes a tricker enabler for switching between the regular wpa_supplicant and the wpa_supplicant for adhoc use also included in 1.3.
The orientation fix from weeds2000 is now default included into v1.3, but can be removed with a rollback patch found in the patches section in Post #1. it does have flaws like mouse pointer moves in "portrait" mode right now. compass should not be working correctly. but in general more apps utilizing the orientation/sensor is now working much better.
With FolioMod 1.3 a small milestone is reached, getting 3000+ in Quadrant score without actually cheating here
But of course Quadrant benchmarking is just one way of meassuring our device, CPU performance has not changed at all, so dont get too excited, but it does help in the overall experience of your tablet.

as you see on the picture above, our tablet has native 0 degree in landscape mode where mobilephones got portrait native.. you can call this failure of nvidia, or someone else, but it seems that someone thinks this should be the standard.
if we can get the X and Y curve switched, we might just get it working normally.
12.12.2010
- Version 1.2 introduce use of the official patch installer from Toshiba which shows progress bar indicator movements on the screen, if recovery menu is not shown.
- Version 1.2 offers the newest toshiba update 2.5.0053 features, but which?
- BadStorm2010 managed to get a custom kernel compiled, which for adds support for ext4(future support),OpenVPN and cifs support, so you can mount filesystems over network.
- The FolioWidget offers control of your hardware buttons to have lights enabled and turns off only when pressed (good during evening/night)
- By failure of mine, the Vending.apk (Market app) included in 1.2, slows down the folio, so to enhance and fix it, i added a patch which adds the newest Market app to our folio with new design and way of selecting apps (actually is much better).
- as the framework is new, i tried to include all old features as 360 rotation , wma/wmv , Google apps + /mnt/sdcard location fix and other small issues.
- Paid apps still remain an issue with toshiba framework, only solution for you that want/need it, is to use the old 0.2 edition with nvidia framework.
29.11.2010
Currently the Toshiba edition 1.0b is having more issues than compared to 0.2a software wise. there is a freeze issues, and awake issues(solved,but fix is not released) and google paid apps cannot be downloaded.
So if you're ok without proper BT functions and usbstick unmounting, the 0.2a is probably you're best choice right now..
But if you need mouse/keyboard, usbstick proper unmount, 360rotation, the toshiba mod is the way forward.
I will try and get the freezing fixed, but more testing is needed..
28.11.2010
the Toshiba mod was created due to all the small differences in the framrwork with Bluetooth, USB functionality and sdcard card functions. Like on phones, vendors always do a little customization, which not always serves all users nicely when the image is modded based on other models. But now the stock rom is available with modded functions, so all should be happy now.
25.11.2010- on top of the above mentioned changes, here are some more regular info
- The new 0.2a still has USB stick/sdcard unmount issues, which is only part of the toshiba framework to handle for now. Im working on getting it to work on stock android.
- Increased the desktop sizing to 7 vert/horz , so more space for widgets and placement.
- media player extract image information.
- Wpa supplicant will not show signal strength for now, but im sure the better functionality might compesate for this.
(this has been tested with my Galaxy S running tetherAP function, and i could go online using my mobile connection)
Tested(v0.2a),
-Gapps,Angrybirds,Movieplayback(Yxplayer)+WMV/WMA, HDMI out, usb mass storage to pc, sdcard,usbstick, websurf+flash
- rotation , Market download, Power off,ad-hoc connectivity,.
I will test it now, downloading (very very slow :S), thank you very much for your work your are my hero

its very slow, because there is like 20 of us who are downloading the file at the same time.
well the one who gets it up an running first, please post a step by step for the noobs ( like me) and give some impressions how the device works with this first better rom!
Anyone is welcome to post mirrors, i dont needs credits for those.
Btw, im also uploading a stock mod for this folio..not sure it takes bandwidth, maybe too many mods on my hosting solution, as its probably busy somehow..
and we all know Folio100 is not THAT popular yet! so many is so much said
Downloaded but file is corrupt... re-downloading
Great , going to download it and try it ! Thanks

No problems with the Download here.
I installed everything through the System Update, but nothing changed at all. Do I have to perform a factory reset before applying the folio mod? (My folio is rooted, I tried to install some google apps and so on...)
The first line when applying the mod says "E: can't mount DEFAULT_PATH" - how about the others?
Anyway: thanks a lot for your work!
At some point you have to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" or something like that with vol - and (i think) power
For me it did a factory reset but nothing else, tried angry birds to see if anything had changed but nope.

also for me nothing changed. Download and update work fine. After update I try to install Angry Birds but when I
run it I can hear the sound of the game, but I don't see nothing.
Is possibile with this mod install the Android Market?

are people using the "update.zip" inside the zip i released? or simply putting this one on the sdcard?
when installing it shows text, when HOME button is pressed this is clearly one way to confirm something.. just rebooting does not say much here..
here is another way:
- Reboot into "Firmware Update" menu.. (Press MENU to show actual recovery menu screen when booted into recovery kernel, after the "recovery logo" shows)
- Insert sdcard into slot, and move to "update firmware" second line.. and press power button to execute.
below you should see the information on steps taken..

well, it looks correct, so next question is; can you use adb? and login with shell and maybe extract the /tmp/recovery.log file?
if you got no root, just enter "rootme" and you should be disconnected from adb.
kill adb with "adb kill-server" and relogin with adb.
and you got root.
Is this correct?

vol+ ->"continue factory data reset..."
vol- ->"continue system update"
vol+ ->"confirm"
when adroid appears HOME button

then
"reboot now"
no need to do any wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition?

hum sorry for the post not fast enough
THIS MOD HAS BEEN RETIRED. This is a 1.1-based modded ROM. I am no longer developing 1.1-based solutions but I am leaving this post up for current users, or for anyone who still wishes to use it.
------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if
that occurs. I would highly recommend that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running any mods, as you may require that as an emergency backout.
Stock 4349 users PLEASE NOTE: Installing this mod might work for you, but there is a chance that you might soft-brick your device, as well. Please be aware of this risk. EDIT: Gojimi has a downlevel tool here for 4349 users -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036956. However, this is NOT needed if you are going to gADAM 1.4.0. You can skip gojimi's step and go directly to gADAM 1.4.0, the risk of soft-brickage is approximately the same, regardless.
==================================
What this IS
gADAM is an alternate 1.1 based ROM for the GTab, based on the Notion Ink Adam firmware. This will flash system, bootloader and your kernel, so be aware of this. You are also REQUIRED to wipe your user data after you flash to this ROM, so please BACKUP ALL DATA before attempting this. Clockworkmod is recommended as a pre-requisite when flashing between legacy 1.0.1 or 1.1 based stock or mods, since the user data wipe is required.
gADAM also adds the following features:
- Rooted and Busybox added (TB friendly)
- Gapps
- Adhoc networking support
- Flash Player (on new installs)
- Dock config file added, for the Ethernet port
- Improved battery life by the removal of the Phone apks
- Youtube and Home Switcher apks added
- Live Wallpapers added (in case you want to use an alternate launcher)
- Adds Pershoot's kernel, as the stock one does not work on our device without major bootloader and partition changes.
What this is NOT
It's not a ROM for Adam owners! Please do not attempt to use this, or you will likely brick your device! There are already gapp updates on sites like notioninkhacks.comm for the Adam.
REQUIRED Pre-requisites
1. (1.0.1 / 1.1 users only) Install clockworkmod .8 bekit recovery. See PART2 in this link, for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005080. If you have adb knowledge, you can do a data wipe using adb ("adb shell wipe data"), so clockworkmod would not be needed (see below). Also, if you are already running gADAM, the likelihood of a reboot looping issues is fairly low, so installing clockworkmod is probably not requirement in that scenario either.
Recommended Pre-requisites
1. Setup and learn how to use nvflash. This is your backout in case something bad happens, so I would highly recommend you understand how to use this, in advance. Link details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950. nvflash is specific to Tegra 2 devices only.
2. Setup and learn how to use adb. This is a standard Android tool that will give you a remote shell into the device. This is helpful to push and pull files, and do general troubleshooting. For example, you can do a data wipe within adb if your device boot loops by typing "adb remount" and then "Adb shell wipe data" and then reboot. A VERY helpful tool for anyone modding their device.
Information on adb and how to install it / use it can found in several areas in XDA, or on other Android sites. It's part of the Google Android SDK.
3. Have your device on a stock ROM baseline, or a previous version of gADAM. For example, build 3588 is the lastest 1.1-based stock ROM, as of this writing. Details on how to return to a stock ROM are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9247367#post9247367. A previous version of gADAM is also an acceptable baseline.
Other 1.1-based ROMs should also work, but the lowest risk imo is 3588 stock or a previous gADAM version. This is how I generally test my mods.
Installation for legacy 1.0 or 1.1 stock/mod users
- Ensure that you have the legacy clockworkmod .8 bekit pre-requisite.
- Extract the RAR to the root of your internal memory. So, you'd have a recovery folder and an update.zip on the root of the mounted drive.
- Reboot into clockworkmod recovery and wipe data / factory reset.
- While still in clockworkmod, "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard". Choose the update.zip image and run it. The gADAM update should occur automatically. Once completed, back out and reboot.
- The device should take two to three minutes to initialize, then will boot into the GUI. If it gets stuck, reboot into recovery one more time and wipe data again.
- RECOMMENDED. Use ADB or a Terminal Emulator to revert back to 3588 stock recovery unless clockworkmod is absolutely needed.
To do this:
1- Download the app "Android Terminal Emulator", by Jack Palevich (in the Market).
2- Run the app, toggle the soft keyboard and change the font settings, if desired (default is very small)
3- Type "su"
4- Type "fixrecovery.sh" to downlevel recovery back to 3588 stock.
Note: "Status 7" errors. I had this happen to me once, and an SD re-partition corrected it. I beieve it's some kind of partition corruption that eventually manifests itself.
Backout
- Setup and install the 3588 stock ROM. Stock ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000

Main Release - gADAM 1.4.0 Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?2qi44w6z7ofonz1
md5sum: 644ab3c4d1fefd7fe20bfd47fdd11165
(updated 3/30/2011)
Supplement - There is no supplement, at this time
The supplement is layered over the base build - these are just file copies, like a "hotfix".
Changelog:
(1.4.0) Based off 020240311 NI firmware, updated pershoot kernel. "Unfixed" the Camera - rotation is borked, but the regular image is no longer a mirror (I preferred the latter, and I believe others will).
(1.3.0) Based off 020210311 NI firmware, new command line recovery toggle, released version of Flash 10.2, adds 3588 stock bootloader.
------------------------
New for gADAM 1.3.0 : GTAB 3588 Recovery Pack
This is a set of scripts to change between standard recovery and clockworkmod recovery, without having to reboot. All you need is adb or a Terminal Emulator package.
I don't use clockworkmod for flashing ROM's anymore, due to its inability to flash the bootloader (something that may be required, in the future). But I still use it for nandroid backups and data wipes, so this is how I can easily switch between the two.
a) To flash recovery to 3588 stock recovery, using your GTablet
- Download the app "Android Terminal Emulator", by Jack Palevich.
- Run the app, toggle the soft keyboard and change the font settings, if desired (default is very small)
- Type "su" (Superuser should allow su access.
- Type "fixrecovery.sh". This should run the flash_image tool and complete in 5-10 seconds
Reboot into recovery to test. 3588 stock has no options, so assuming you have no update.zip in the root of your /sdcard, it should just error out with an "!" error (that's what we want to see).
b) To flash recovery to legacy clockworkmod .8 bekit version recovery, using your GTablet
- Follow steps 1 to 3, above
- Type "cwmrecovery.sh". You should the flash_image tool run and complete
Reboot into recovery to test. You should see the clockworkmod .8 bekit screen, which means the flash was successful.
c) To flash either recovery with adb
Just use an "adb shell" and then run the shell script needed.

- Click on or near the clock in the upper left, to get a "icon drawer" UI
- Long hold the home button for a 3D Panel view
- calibration tool seems to work just like our GTAB (calibration.ini on either /sdcard or /sdcard2 to calibrate)
- If there apps missing from the Market, try this hack to correct it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
- GMail is cutoff. This happens on a real Adam device, as well.

cool! gonna give this a spin sometime this week. keep the rom ports coming! gtab is a beast!
Downloading and intalling right now, even if it is 00:20 am here in mexico. XD
Only thing redeamable about this rom is the browser, so fast and smooth. I will test gapps and sideloading flash.
I thought it was called "Eden"?
my bad and I will fix. Long night (and time for bed).
Okay i figured how to sideload apps. There is a file manager in the office app. Launcher pro is smooth as hell. Got flash running. Gapps wont wrk but it doesnt send me into a bootloop.

what version of Gapps did you use ?
Very different rom from an other, but very easy to use.
So far i like it but the first thing to do isnto get out the 3g functions. I cant stand to see the black bar in the top of the screen saying there is no service. Does anyone else has the black bar in the top space of the screen with a flashing "!" in green and saying there is no service?
It is a very fast rom, very very fast. nd it has the most respnsive keyboard i have seen. Xd
G-Tab Running Eden-alpha1
Very nice I cant wait to give this a try
I used the latest gapps form cm. Flash runs as nice as it ever has on any rom.
Got it loaded....pretty responsive. No flash, but install flash apk makes it work just fine. Browser seems pretty fast so far.

If you tap the battery icon in the top left, it will toggle on/off the black bar.
The Eden home screen pages seems to reset after reboot. ADW Launcher EX works fine also and can be installed and made default home.
Thanks Roebeet!! You are the man!
It is indeed a very very fast rom. Like previous posts have said, very responsive keyboard, flash works like a charm. Best web browser out there. Excellent interface overall.
That black bar with the flashing 3G signal is a buzz kill for sure. Chops off top portion of web pages too. Dont know if Launcher Pro or ADW would help in any way, havent tried installing those yet.
Holy cow!!!
Data2loop works but busybox's path has to be changed to /system/xbin.
77Hz refresh rate works also.
Full Market works.
Only thing doesn't work is adb remount permission in UI mode, but manually mounting /system in cwm solves this temporary problem.

What did you do for the Market?
It is a combination of using vending.apk from 10/15 mdpi gapps pack, market access.apk and build.prop. Doing all three, I can see all my purchase apps in Market. Don't know if this can be qualified as claiming "Full Market".
For some reasons, I can never get wifi settings to stick on reboot. It means I have to enable wifi and re-set "advanced" settings after each boot.
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.

About wifi support for channels 12 and 13 in Prime 1.6
When set to US mode the Transformer does not see chans 12 or 13. This is the default behaviour on US and WW roms. In EU mode these channels can be used.
To allow the TF to set EU mode please wait until three minutes pass on the first power up and then restart your transformer. This is after fresh install or factory reset.
US/EU mode can also be toggled by running /system/etc/setwifi.sh from a cli and you can check whether you are in EU or US mode by looking at the flag in /data. If this is removed the TF will set EU mode automatically on next reboot.
Strange codes appearing in Dos windows using ADB
The reason you see are seeing strange stuff in ADB with windows is because the dos prompt cannot interpret the colour codes. You have two solutions.
1- enable colour support using this - http://adoxa.110mb.com/ansicon/index.html
2- disable colour support...
Code:
alias ls='ls --color=never'
Spare Parts, newest OTA - sounds like fun, will try when I get home
Working well so far, installed over the top of dc13s rom with no issues.
Cheers
I installed this fine thanks loads.
Would be nice if the asus update reminder could be taken off. I keep getting prompted to download it. I saw the thread about removing it but would rather a more permanent solution without the use for 3rd party apps.
Will give it some testing tonight

Not until there is a way to get custom recovery running, there is an exploit being developed but it was based on the first update. It's currently being tested against the second update (20110423).

there's a new root method in the root thread, FYI
New version out...
Also I must ask, does this keep my own apps and settings?
Yes, just flash and reboot and you won't lose your stuff.
For peace of mind though you should take a nandroid backup first, it's good practice to always do this before flashing any rom.
Oh I know, I've been flashing ROMs on my HTC hero since day 1
has this been tested with a US transformer yet?
I have only got a UK device to test my roms on but if you want to flash it and provide feedback then that would be greatly appreciated.

Contributors
timduru
Source Code: https://github.com/timduru
ROM OS Version: 6.0.x Marshmallow
ROM Kernel: Linux 2.6.x
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2016-02-19
Last Updated 2018-10-19
Tips
First Install
Make sure you do a format /data the first time you install the rom
(backup your internal storage first if you want to keep something)
The first boot after a rom flash can take a few minutes as ART is slower than dalvik to optimize the applications, but is faster after the 1st time.
(First boot takes ~4-5 minutes without gapps and 10+ minutes with gapps)
Also keep in mind that after a fresh install, it might take a bit of time to get up to full speed as media scanner & google are checking/scanning and restoring stuff.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth might require to be turned on twice before it scans and displays the available devices.
Wallpaper Modes
Different Wallpaper modes have been added in Settings => Display
** Normal (regular android mode)
** Disable System Wallpaper rendering (set as default)
** Disable Wallpaper service
2nd setting will prevent the wallpaper being rendered by the system making things faster and also freeing resources
That's the recommended setting you want to use if you are using a launcher that has internal wallpaper rendering
The Default included Launcher3 has internal rendering
For Nova: Go to its Settings => Desktop => Wallpaper Scrolling => Force, then set a wallpaper.
(You will see a black wallpaper if you're not using a launcher that can do internal rendering, If wallpaper is important and that you want to keep your current launcher, then switch back to the 1st setting)
Youtube
Depending on your network and tablet load, 720p videos might not play or take longer to buffer.
Switch to 480p in that case.
Some videos are also 720p60fps so you might need to switch back to 480p for these too.
You can also try an older youtube version and disable auto updates: youtube-v5.0.21
Google Play Movies
Our current Widevine DRM libs are not compatible in MM.
So you can't play a movie on the tablet with Google Play Movies as it requires that.
Starting a movie to play on chromecast should be fine as the drm will be the chromecast one in that case.
Now On Tap
Now On Tap requires the nano opengapps version, however our default /system partition is too small to accommodate them.
So if you want to install the nano or bigger opengapps version, you'll need to repartition the storage space first using Bigwheelie for extended partitions
Then activate Now on Tap from google now settings
Hardware keyboard layouts
More languages have been added in the default asusec keyboard
Set the keyboard layout through Settings => Language & Input => asusec => setup keyboard layouts
These also allow live switching without reboot with ctrl + space
Global Key Override/Shorcut Mecanism
Available in Settings => Dock => Add Key Override Actions
This will allow you not only to redefine function keys assignment, and other special keys actions,
but you'll also be able to assign global macro actions / app launch to any key + Meta key combination (shift Left or Right , ctrl..)
You can also add multiple actions to one key combination, simply click again on the "+" button for the same key combination.
For example if you want to assign to one key combination a list of action to run before going to bed for example, like: turn wifi off, Bluetooth off, mute sound, and turn screen off, you can do that
Note that starting multiple applications with one key is kinda a miss and hit for the moment due to some mecanism in android that seems to prevent applications to start too close to each others.
Storage (fstrim) and Database optimization:
Fstrim is native since 4.3 and will happen in the background if your tablet is idle / sleeping and that your battery is > 70%
There is also a script to run it manually in the rom: /etc/kat/optimizestorage
To optimize the Database: /etc/kat/optimizedb
To run both, open a terminal and run:
su
/etc/kat/optimize
MultiWindow
Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2, 3 or 4 panes
you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running
NavBar:
- To switch between full screen and split View you can use the
NavBar Buttons
The app that currently has the focus (or the latest used app if you're on the Desktop) will be used for the main pane (left and/or top depending on the mode and rotation)
And it will lay the remaining most recently used apps in the rest of the available 1-2-3 panes depending on the icon you click
- If you press a multiwindow icon again when in splitview mode, it'll bring the focused app back to fullscreen mode.
- To swap the 2 latest focused apps location / pane , long press on the
NavBar Button
- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the
NavBar Button
That button can also be used in non multiwindow mode to switch quickly between the 2 most recent apps.
Global Actions:
Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview 2-3-4 panes, swap, or switch between the 2 most recent apps have been added
so you can bind them to a key / key combination with the Global KeyOverride or long press on navbar button too.
Note: Most apps works ok in splitview mode, but some of them might crash or not refresh correctly sometime.
To manually position an app in one of the pane:
For the moment either reorder your apps before clicking on an auto mode icon,
or you can also activate the default Marshmallow Multiwindow mode to get extra icons to positions an app in a specific pane (activate it in developer options )
Then position the apps with the icons from the Recents screen. (default MM recents icons are for 2 or 4 panes)

First
Many thanks, Tim, for keeping the Tf101 alive!
I'm a little afraid to try, but I know I will
Officially my Transformer is one of the oldest devices I own and should really show its age.
But it just doesn't, it sets itself apart from the two other Tegra 2 devices (Notion Ink Adam and Acer Iconia) by being a thoroughly enjoyable device, which reacts very promptly to all input and still is mechanically perfect with great battery life.
Some hardware ingredients like DRAM and Flash seem to be made of better stuff (some benchmark show twice the memory bandwidth than Acer Iconia and NI Adam and the eMMC is lots better than Acer (Adam is notoriously terrible)), but mostly it must be the constant tweaking you (and Google?) have put in, because the performance only got better and better, even if the applications typically got fatter and fatter and 1GB of DRAM is no longer as plenty as it used to be with Android 2.2.
I surely can't say the same for my Nexus 7, which started being somewhat snappier than the Transformer and turned out pretty bad with LP even after turning off the journalling on ext4.
Marshmallow has disappointed me so far (only Nexus 10 migrated yet), mostly because my standard launcher SPB shell 3D no longer works on it and I just like it better than stock or any other.
And then I just don't see any significant improvements beyond Lollipop or rather CM 12 with all the privacy stuff already included. And I just love the fast task switching, which is part of the multiwindow support and which I have on a keyboard shortcut (hope it comes soon).
Somehow I also doubt that Nougat will be better in any sense except "better" Google integration.
But since I'm very much afraid of operating anything without the latest security patches, I'll just have to make the switch.
And I'm sure it will be as perfect as the current LP by the time Nougat comes out.
Thanks Timduru for making it possible
Link is ready, downloading :good:
Thank you. what I've failed to understand, do you need to install a separate root tool? Or is it included in the recommended recovery tool? It's still as i bought it in 2011... Thanks!
Thanks so much Tim gonna test this out

Just follow the procedure from the 1st post:
once you have the recovery installed:
the first time: format /data
then install all 3 zips at once: rom + supersu + gapps
then reboot.
Thank you Tim! Awesome as always. Gonna try ASAP.
One question...
What is the downside of not having omx codecs working?

What is the downside of not having omx codecs working?

No omx codecs means no gpu video acceleration, so it'll use cpu to decode instead.

Just follow the procedure from the 1st post:
once you have the recovery installed:
the first time: format /data
then install all 3 zips at once: rom + supersu + gapps
then reboot.

It sounds so easy... First I don't really know how to install the recovery (hence, i have been spending 'only' app 7 hours on topic by now). I would assume from PWR+VOL- then Vol+ goes to recovery mode, but the device gets stuck with a android red expression mark. I then tried to install the Easyflasher 0.8.3 and managed to first delete the drivers and installed new universal ones. Rebooted and continue to follow the procedure and the Easyflasher on my Windows tells me i have successfully unbricked my Asus Stock. However, when i reboot, it looks all exactly the same, no data lost, no new installation. Then I could, or should?, flash a recovery. However, if i try to do it from the Easyflasher there is only the old TWRP 2.2.1. available and i fail to make use of the downloaded TWRP 2.8.1.1. CLick the Root, doesn't work either.
Then, the frustration goes up and the progress goes down... please advise and push me in the right direction! MUch appreciated!

Installing the recovery is not really the focus of this thread, and it has been a really long time since I installed on mine
But what I would do, since you seem to have easyflasher and drivers working:
- Install TWRP 2.2.1 from easyflasher
- reboot to that TWRP 2.2.1
- Install the TWRP 2.8.1.1 flashable zip from TWRP 2.2.1
- reboot to the recovery and it should now be TWRP 2.8.1.1
Flashed all 3 zip ROM+su+pico but can't boot to Android.
After the Asus logo screen turns black and nothing happens.
Any ideas?

sounds as if the new kernel didn't flash or something.
What recovery are you using ?
Even if the screen goes black you should get adb working after a few minutes, it's still doing things in the background normally.
Try to grab me a logcat + dmesg at that point.
EDIT: Found the problem, yeah kernel not flashing:
Flash it separatly for the moment: Tim_KatKernel_122_MM6.0.zip
that will be fixed in the next version.

Unfortunately me too.
The only step from install note was the "Format" because of lack of time and data cable to copy everything from internal sd to my pc (only way for me is over the air with My Phone Explorer right now).
Tried 19 & 19b together with SuperSu 2.52 and gapps-arm-pico in one flash.
Backlight of screen is on, but then nothing happens over an hour.

Sounds like a plan, i tried and Easyflasher tells me it runs Wheelie,NV Flash then 'finished new reboot into recovery'. I do so, but android gets stuck in the recovery with an red expression mark, then it'll boot normal again.
Might it be that root access is blocking it? The Easyflasher root access tells me to first falsh recovery and put the superuser on sd.
I have installed both TWRP and SuperSu but both run into issues: the first tells me 'root is required' then closes, the second tells me 'no SU binary installed' then closes.
I then decided to go for a very crappy 1-click root access, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193, with an even worse http://www.4shared.com/postDownload/ja5cFLAL/1-Click_Transformer_Root_11.html. This seems to have succeeded and i got root access (!) and the above described issues on TWRP and SuperSu were not gone.
Then in TWRP i couldn't select the zipfile TWRP 2.8.1, and after telling TWRP i had a TF101 i could select an older version like 2.3, which he was going to download. I had to confirm a path but decided to abort. I then tried to boot recovery but unfortunately, and not as i expected, it run into the same red expression mark. I then decided to run APX mode again and see if easyflasher could access root now. Also negative. Then run normal ABD mode and checked if i could do something with SuperSu, also negative.
So it seems my problem is that TWRP doesn't allow me to select the right zip file and as a result i can't run any recovery... any idea?
UPDATE: going back to apx flash the default TWRP2.2.1 then reboot to recovery succeeds in Easyflasher but the same red expression mark with Android. so also negative
