Well i just got this bad boy yesterday. Hardly able to put it down when I'm at home already.
Haven't gotten round to root yet. This weekend be the big event...lol.
So im hoping you guys can give me a few ideas as to the best roms and features available.
What rom do you guys use? Any favorites? And why? Too many questions I know.
Thanks in advance.

The answer you seek is right on the front page of XDA...

^^^^hmmmm. Well i was more curious as to what most folks were using as their daily driver rather than seeking advice as to how to root the device, but thanks anyway.
Still. If anyone can recommend any good mods or roms or themes etc it would be appreciated.

Check your serial number, if it's >B70 then it's not rootable. Yes they are working on it but it's been almost 2 months and nothing. Appears to be locked down in hardware and thus not by-passible via the usual tricks of the past. Most likely it's because of DRM if I had to guess.
If your serial is B70xxxxx check it anyway, some of the B70's may be rootable if they still have the older SBKv1 ROM (or whatever it is).
Mine's going back (B80 serial) - it's a dead duck.
I suggest you return it and get something else so you wont clog the forum with the same stupid questions that have been asked hundreds of times.

spoon feeding gets old after the 99th "GIB INFO PLOX" thread
Right...i just checked the serial number and it looks like I'm safe. Phew!
It says B50. So i can get on with my tinkering afterall. Thank God for that.
Would have been a bit silly to turn up again at best buy for the second time within the space of 3 days to return another tablet...lol.
Thanks for the comments you guys...very informative. Except for the troll that is.

Rule #1 of XDA:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go search and browse and you'll find 15,000 different answers to your questions. And you didn't even post a question in the correct forum. Pay attention to the stickies - they're there to get you started.
Can we please get a thread going since root has been achieved for the Slider? Please?
Shouldn't it have it's own forum? Or is it that similar to the Transformer? I don't own an SL101.

You are correct, I mis-spoke. They are similar for sure but not enough to share a forum. Can we please request a forum?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It is pretty close to the Transformer but it does not seem to have gotten more (important) updates. For instance it has the old market and seems to have weaker wifi. My wife has one so I have been testing to check differences. I don't think it is so different that it needs its own forums, though I wouldn't mind looking directly for problems related to it.
There is a place on the xda site to request a forum. A mod who can create a forum for you is not likely to see this thread
yep. I own an sl101 too and depending on if I can use tf101 roms on the sl101 or not it would probly need it's own section right

I've seen plenty of these in the market section. But what does that mean. I've looked in the stickies and no luck. I kind of have an idea but I'm looking for a definite answer. Kind of a dumb question but I don't spend too much time in that area of the forum.

They are trying to gauge the market to see how much they could get for the item they are selling.

OK this thread is for the discussion of orthus ROMs. So no matter what version of orthus you may be running all discussions go here. I start this thread with mindmajics approval so that we may clear the ROM thread of discussions and questions. Majic will of course use the ROM thread to announce updates and such but all other comments or questions go in this ROM thread. Now let me say that the same rules apply to this thread as did the ROM thread and they are as follows.
1. Be nice and considerate to others.
2. No flaming unless majic sees fit after all it his rom.
3. Never under any circumstances disrespect the dev which is majic. Our devs work hard for us to enjoy custom ROMs with no pay. They take their time to do this so at the very least we could be kind and considerate.
4. With that said if you have a problem with the ROM post your problem without placing blame and either majic or some of us who have run this ROM since day one will do our best to help you in anyway we can.
5. If you have solved a problem you found please post your solution. It just might help someone else having the same issue.
Majic has worked hard to make this a great ROM so let's do all we can to help him make it even greater. I really hope we can all work together and solve any issues anyone is having with this ROM.
Before you post anything about having a problem please make sure you have followed the exact directions majic gave for installing the ROM. Also make sure to be as detailed as possible about your problem. The more info you give the more likely you are to get a solution to your problem. Also make sure you have read the whole ROM thread because chances are there may already be a solution to whatever problem you are having.
Well I think I covered everything. Majic if I've left anything out please let me know. I decided to put this in the general section due to it being a discussion thread even though we will be answering questions when we can. So let's make orthrus even better. Also feel free to post battery times but please include the screen time on pic with battery time pic and also which launcher you are using whether its touchwiz, xperia, or one from the play store.
Alright let the discussion begin....
All further ROM updates can be found over at rootzwiki... here is the link
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35685-rom-orthus-six-102612/
This discussion thread will remain open but the ROM thread here on XDA will be locked. Any questions, comments, or discussion will answered here. Also any problems may be discussed here or over at rootzwiki.... Hope you all continue to use this ROM and not let the change of venue effect that. I will continue to help majic answer any questions or solve any problem my limited knowledge allows lol....

Yes the ROM thread was getting crowded and beginning to be very hard for majic to keep up with so we talked and this is the solution lol...
I can't wait for the next version either. With each version this ROM gets better and better. Majic has became one helluva dev...

Orthos 4 has been a little bit of a downgrade from 3 for me. I've already had two lockups using Chrome (which may be the problem instead of the ROM) when I had 0 lockups on 3. Battery life has been just as good and everything is running smoothly minus the 2 hiccups. This is the 1st Orthos update I've done a full wipe for if that matters.
I also have some battery screens to post when I get home of my cycle running the xperia launcher. It seemed to perform close to Apex but since I was on data for longer than normal it's hard to tell.
Hi guys so based on Mind wanting to change the default launchers, I've bumped into the following:
Lightning Launcher
Trebuchet Launcher (CM9)
Holo Launcher
Nemus Launcher
Smart Launcher
Apex Launcher
Now please keep in mind these are just options that looked good to me, but I have yet to use any of them. Just wondering if anyone else might know of some great launchers out there either available from the market or even from other phones for example the xperia launcher or even the sense launcher from HTC phones.
Some Launchers that I have used previously
SIII TW Launcher (Used it with Embryo)
Go Launcher (Used to swear by this group of devs then they started to produce ****. Go SMS was great as well until they decided to only be able to do SMS+MMS backups to their cloud)
Launcher Pro (Was great up to a little before the paid version of the app was released. Then it got way too bloated and bogged down performance of my phone.)
~PsyCl0ne
Myself I either use touchwiz launcher or apex. I have used go until they screwed it up with the updates. I've used adw but really didn't like it either.

I do have a suggestion you can think on as well. How about adding the gallery from the xperia to go with the launcher? Just a thought

You know what I do kind of agree here but I like Orthrus. Might give Xperiance a go later but I thought that this is what Mind was trying to do here. To create a impressively customizable rom that had a ton of kick and stability with the battery life being icing on the cake. Correct me if I am wrong but that's just the vibe I got...

Yup
Orthus is meant to be more of a pure AOKP with battery tweaks, alternative launchers, and additional customization options. Lean and mean. I love the Sony album though

Haha! I thought I was the only one this anal about grammar and spelling!
I liked ADW Launcher until ics came out, then I went to the paid version of apex because it just worked better. Haven't looked back and I own the pro version of adw too. I'm now using Nova because it was 25 cents on the play store for a while and, I must say, the paid version is awesome as it does backups of your homescreens which include widgets. This is something Apex has yet to incorporate. I realize that Majick could not include the paid version of any launcher due to the pirating issue, but I highly recommend buying nova if you flash a lot of ROMs like myself. Makes setup across ROMs much less time consuming.
Launcher Pro was really good for a while, but I believe the development hasn't released an update for a really long time and people were saying that it wasn't compatible with ics so I doubt it would play well with the almighty Orthus.
Holo launcher is nice. It was bundled in with one of the ROMs I flashed. It's pretty snappy but, since I have the paid version of apex and nova, I left it for them.
Just my two cents.

I'm so used to people spelling my name "John" when it's really "Jon" that any misspelling or grammatical errors as totally lost on me.
Even my username is a deliberate misspelling of the word "magic". Alexander Crowley deliberately misspelled the original word to "magick" so he could differentiate his meaning from the original meaning. And of course my version is deliberately misspelled because I mean something different too lol

What is the best launcher to use? I want one similar if not as close as you can get to the stock UI of TouchWiz.. I miss having the stock UI, it was an amazing experience, i never used and external source / a different launcher. I'm also running a custom rom NAME: Sky-JellyBean-4.1.2) Update 11.4 ((Base T11-(11/10/12)) GS3-Touchwiz--Vs--CM 10

What ever. I'm done talking with you when there are people that can actually help me.
All custom launchers work for all ROMs.
The only launchers that might or might not work for a given system (framework-dependent) are skin-specific launchers - TouchWiz/Sense/Blur/etc launchers.
I guess you need to learn to read and appreciate the advice you've been given.

...all launchers work with all ROMs. If, for some reason, a certain launcher won't work with a certain ROM, it'll be stated in the ROM thread. Even if you grab a launcher that's incompatible, the worst it'll do is FC you back to the stock launcher. Read the launcher thread and try a few out.
Thread closed. If you want to find ROMs, head to the Development section and look at them. It's as easy as that!
