Hi,
I see this device (Barometer) listed when booting Prime 1.3r2.
As I am new to android devices and I don't see it listed in the asus product page, can I ask, what is it used for ?
Thanks.
I know that a barometer is built into the Xoom, and works in conjunction with weather apps to provide a forecast. AFAIK, the transformer does not include a barometer, but we do get GPS unlike the xoom.
I'm pretty sure that is just a custom boot animation made to look like an older pc booting up. It is just a set of images, not a real boot dialog.

so the all BIOS screen including the memory test is animation?
i can confirm that theres no barometer, just checked with an app that list and monitor all the sensors and barometer was not found.

That is correct, it's just a boot animation

Editor of the boot animation here.
I will remove this from the boot animation as soon as I get some free time.
Well, great animation. looked real to me.
Thanks

Does anyone else use this app and experience a problem where after a while half of the wallpaper goes black? It seems to be something to do with the orientation because it's as if it thinks it's in portrait so it cuts part of the wallpaper off. Switching the tablet's orientation to portrait and back temporarily fixes it.
Not sure if it's an app bug, honeycomb or just my tablet.. haven't seen anyone else mention it :S
No it is not your tablet, I had the same problem with my xoom. Are you using another program like HD wallpapers to set wallpapers? If so, this is your problem. What you have to do is download the wallpaper you want then use ww to set it. Hope this helps.

Ah ok thanks! Was using ww to set it to no scroll and then was using gallery to set the wallpaper. Have done it with ww now so should be all good.

I'll have to give that a try. I had stopped using the program because of this issue, but scrolling is SO much smoother with wallpaper scrolling disabled. Thanks!
Hmm.. thought it had solved the problem but it still happened. Have sent an email to the developer so hopefully will get a response
Cannot say thanks enough for the WW app!!!! I was about to go postal trying to change all of my sizes for wallpapers! Nothing worked and it all looked crappy. WW to the rescue! Thanks a ton!
And now I have the dreaded "black bar!!!" Jeezus these android devices are kilin me here! Why is this so damn difficult...
Forgot to post response from dev the other day, seems to be a problem with android not the app:
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Twisted Apps. I really appreciate the information and hopefully I can explain the issue.
The black screen is not due to Honeycomb, but instead due to an Android API bug. I have noticed the error myself and I have only created a work around for it within the app. I have tried posting the issue to Android forums, but I haven't received a goodresponse as of yet. The problem happens more redly with devices that rotate because WW has to set the display demensionseach time the display isrotated. It isduring this Android API call that the screen goes back. The Wallpaper is still set, but nothing shows. Otherthan rotating the display, I have also created a Fix menu options. Select Menu->Fix and it attempts to resetyour current wallpaper. I personally have only noticed the error a few times with a few otherrandompeople mentioning it happening seldom. You are the first person to indicate it being more often then not. I amreally sorryit is causing issues for you.
Not the best solution, but here is a work around. Use WW to set your wallpaper as Scroll, and then if you want to set your screen to No Scroll use a home app such as Launcher Pro. When a home app normally sets the display to No scroll it doesn't keep reseting the display dimensions upon rotation. To get the Exact Setting with Scroll you will need to set the Wallpaper as Exact and then select menu->Scroll. Menu->Scroll will keep the current set wallpaper, but change it from No Scroll to Scroll. As a note most people like WW because of the No Scroll option, but WW also automatically resizes the images withouthavingto do special modifications to the image.
Twisted Apps is my startup with WW being the firstapp. I have anotherfull time occupation,but I willlook into this issue in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a more permanent solution. Again,I sincerely appreciate you using WW and your time to e-mail me.
I hope you can be patient while I find a solution.
Sincerely,
--Russell T Mackler [email protected]

I was a bit annoyed by the addition of the "last updated" line in the Asus Weather widget included in the 3.2 update. I thought it was ugly and provided a bit too much information to the widget. Since there wasn't an option to switch it off, I disabled it from being displayed. I also edited the widget layout files to create another version with smaller text. A screenshot is attached that shows the original (top) and the modified (bottom) Weather widgets. The second screenshot shows the original (top), modified (bottom left), and modified & resized (bottom right).
Root access is not required as the modified Weather widget is not a system application and can coexist with the original Weather widget. The ModWeather.apk installs like any other application and does not replace the original Weather widget. After installing the widget, I found a reboot necessary to get the widget to appear in the list.
I have received confirmation that it works without root.
Update: I received reports of these modified widgets not working for some. Upon investigation, I believe I found the source of the problem and have corrected it. I also rebuilt the modified widgets using the stock widget from a system dump of build 8.6.15.13. If you installed these modified widgets prior to October 7th 2011, you may want to install the updated version(s). I updated the version number to 1.0.2 to facilitate upgrading from the previous 1.0 version.
Update 2: With the release of ICS, Asus included the ability to resize the Weather widget to 1x1, 4x3, or 4x4. The 4x4 variant includes a daily forecast. I have been working on a resized variant w/ the 'last updated' text removed. While it is still a work in progress, the latest revision can be found here.
Feel free to let me know whether it works or not for you and don't be afraid to press that little thanks button below.

There have been several inquiries related to the battery widget in the screenshots. It is actually a widget that I created for my own use and has nowhere near the features of some of the other offerings. My Transformer is my first real exposure to Android, so I wanted to write my own to get a better understanding of Android application development. I also wanted to use images that complemented the Asus Weather and Date widgets. I am providing this widget as is and cannot guarantee any further development and/or improvements. However, feedback is always appreciated.
Battery widget updated to version 1.1.0 on August 16th 2011.

Thanks, works great.
Can't confirm the root not required part, since I rooted a couple days ago.
Downloading using TF stock browser didn't want to to work. Using XDA app did. Weird.
Mine required reboot for widget to be available.
Thanks again.

Would you like to see the text of the city and temperature half the size of that displayed when in landscape mode, portrait mode, or both?
I'm not committing to do the work just yet, but I would like to have a better understanding of your request.

Makes me wonder if you've indirect fixed the temperature cut off problem that has plagued this widget from day 1, the one fixed by rotating.
Will report back here if I stop seeing the problem.

I use both BatteryDockChartWidget TF101 by POKE64738
and the Dual Battery Widget by Artiom Chilaru
Never seen one with those icons on either widget
OP, I have been waiting for something that allows me to re-size this widget since the first time I saw it. I downloaded both apks but for some reason neither of them allows me to click install. I can scroll the list of permissions, I can click the "more" button and I can click the "cancel" button. I just can't click "install". Any ideas on what may be causing that?
I am not rooted, btw. Hopefully I can get this to work for me. Thanks.
Confirmation that it works without root good work op

The application at http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ can hide and restore the honeycomb statusbar. Currently this only works on the transformer and requires root.
For questions about the program and for help getting this to work on more devices, you best contact the developer.
does not working for me on revolver 3.2

Works fine on Revolver 3.2 Thanks!
Works great on ARHD 1.2.1. This exactly what I needed. There are a few app and games, such as any Divide Arts (Earth & Legend) game, that force the status bar over to the side. It really bugs me when that happens. This has eliminated that. Nice work .
Works great on Revolver 3.2, just what I needed, thanks
Many thanks! Works great on Prime 1.9 here
this app would be awesome if it had an auto hide feature with a 5 to 10 second delay, and set to load on boot.
edit... a drag down option to hide to would be awesome too.
I agree !
Work on Prime 1.9
I would like to see the option to turn it on and off.
look up honeybar. it does the same thing. I use it and its faultless in m opinion. its free but i dont think its on the market

for non native media players like mxplayer where it would keep the status bar active while watching a Movie,the stock player would hide it though.....this app manually hides it for you

I use it to fullscreen games, so that I don't accidentally hit the back button while playing. You get the status bar back with a swipe.

Works good, but it makes my homscreen lag :-(
I've noticed that any app I have used that modifies the status bar function lags the homescreen. Pity. Hidebar does not have this problem since it activated by a notification prompt.

Loads on my US Galaxy S3 (Verizon). Weather won't load. Says "Enable location services and mobile data to update weather" both of which are enabled (I turned Wi-Fi off, I have full 4G, etc). Looks good other than no weather. I will have to try more later. Thanks for posting.

Drive Link was doing the same for me since I installed it shortly after Denny uploaded it (thanks btw!). It suddenly kicked into life this afternoon for no apparant reason, so it may be worth persisting with it.
Got to say despite a handful of niggles, I do like it as an in-car player etc. The full screen seems to work fine on my stock note.
Niggles I have found are that:
Media control from my Bluetooth car stereo does not work, with or without the media control app from the play store.
scrobbling to last.fm doesn't work (so my playing stats are going down)
There is no easy way I have found to skip back to the drive now app from navigation, other than long pressing the home button and switching using task manager, which seems a bit clunky
I am still trying to find way to add a "shuffle all" button as a shortcut, instead of selecting "All Songs", playing, and then shuffling.
It has not automatically picked up my starred locations from Google Maps/Navigation
Other than that I like it a lot, and am hughly appreciative of Denny for posting the APK.
word of warning to anyone that wants to use this with mirror link (specifically a sony HU) this on my note caused my HU to boot loop. had to reset it
Installed yesterday and got same issue with weather and location but turned on this morning and working fine. Ill have to play around with it today when get a chance.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forums and I'm Dutch, so my English isn't too well.
I recently got a Nexus 5, which I rooted for the first time ever. Everything went well. Now I'm using an app called something like Boot Animations Root. I really like the Droid Razr boot animation, so I looked it up using that app, and I found the right boot animation. Then I automatically installed the boot animation. I rebooted my device, but.. unfortunately it didn't cover up the full screen.
I guess the resolution of the boot animation is too low. Is there any other Droid Razr animation which I can download, or is there any way to make the resolution higher?
Thanks!
You can use any vector based graphics programme to upscale the resolution of the png. Im not sure which droids have 1080 s
display. You'll have to Google it

You also have to modify the file called "desc.txt" which contains the screen resolution.
