heyy everyone im a noob to rooting the transformer i just got mine yesterday and im interested in rooting it. im not a noob to rooting i have a htc evo 4g and hero so i am very up on my lingo and everything else. just looking for a few pros and cons to rooting my transformer. kinda like the whole idea of the prime roms but so far i havent found anything else that catches my intrest would apreciate a lil feed back thx to all
A stock TF blows away most other tabs IMO. But as I am sure you know, rooting opens up a whole new world especially now that the Razorclaw one-click is here..I've enjoyed Roach's genius on Prime ROMS for a while now and love them.
Root, add CWM and try them out.

So I went to black friday at best buy with my wife and we got me the Transformer, but she wont let me have it until xmas...
Now, for the next month, my goal is to convince her somehow that its a good idea to give it to me now! And that aint workin so well..
Anyone know if ICS is coming to the Transformer?
Do yourself a solid, and search
Buuut since it's almost christmas time; yes it will get ICS.
Haha i knew i was going to be told to search! I was just too excited!
I just bricked my skyrocket, so hopefully my wife will let me have my transformer now that i have to wait over a week to get my phone back haha.. We will see...
Whats the best rom for the transformer? In your opinion?
I haven't heard anything official about ICS coming to the TF101, but I wouldn't doubt that since it has most of the features that seem to be required for it. If not, I am sure it would be available to rooted devices

Well, It's really a preference. I'm using Revolver 3.9.5 now, and so far I like. What you can do is load a ROM and play with for a few weeks and then load a different one and see how that one is.
Here are some links to different ROMS:
Revolver

Hope this helps.
If you look at Asus website they state the transformer is upgradable to ICS.

I like roach's work. He makes the Prime ROM and mods.
Hey, maybe by the time your wife gives it to you, you will get to update to ICS

by saying wife u mean mommy ?
j/k
show her good review on it mb its will convince her
Thanks johnny for the links! I've got a folder ready with some roms and everything haha, so once i finally convince my wife (or mommy haha) to let me have it, which will probably be Christmas morning.. ugg... Then i can pop on a rom and get busy with it! I think i'll try the revolver first..
I tried showing her good reviews and videos and everything, and she didnt care.. She's determined to make me wait until Christmas! Oh well, only a week away now! And i still dont have my Skyrocket back from Samsung, so im androidless
In my opinion, Revolver 3.95 is the best ROM for the Transformer (love the easy mods in Revolver Parts), but I have not tried that many... thinking about going to Revolution HD soon, just didn't want to in the first place cause I didn't want to completely wipe my TF, but now I think I am game enough to. Give a few a try, as has already been mentioned the most popular ones are Revolver, Revolution HD and Prime.
Sucks you can't get it until Christmas XD but it is less than a week away now .
tno~~
New to the Transformer this week.
I only had my Transformer for a couple of days till I rooted it and flashed Revolution HD. It is now much smoother and snappier. I am really loving it.
btw. I came from an iPad 2..... I love the fact I can hack this thing to my delight.
TF101 32Gb, Revolution HD 2.2.1
I didnt even trying out the stock rom..lol
i flashed a rom on it within minutes of opening it.. I hate stock anything...

Hi welcome to XDA-Developers, your guides and resources to phone related and much more.. enjoy..ooh the search button can help alot *tip*
I just rooted my phone 2 days ago for the first time from stock gingerbread to cm7.
The ingredients for a successful root/flash:
-Read Read Read. Read the materials associated with your tools, your handset, and the commands needed to make this a successful mod. Read through the tutorials available, go through the different methods and then judge which is right for you, taking into account prep, tools, and your available knowledge. Some are easy, others will usually have a disclaimer regarding difficulty. Don't be discouraged, there's a ton of stuff to get associated with. I jumped balls first and went straight for downgrade, s-off and engineering bootloader (this bootloader may save you later, I suggest you really look into it).
-Understand how to use your tools for the job. You'll see adb, android sdk, fre3vo, gfree and a few other tools of the trade to the task you wish to accomplish. Learn them, learn the commands and the syntax. Inputting commands through the command prompt can seem a little scary considering the potential for disaster but time, patience and perserverance. When in doubt....READ MORE.
-No shortcuts! Learn everything to start, taking the easy way is fast and well....easy. But you won't get the exposure to the tools, commands, or environment you'll be working in. I went through the whole long process of setting up the android sdk just to know what I was getting into. You'll be happy when you hit a problem like getting kicked out of adb shell and knowing what command to enter to jump right back in...
-Follow the directions to a tee. No deviation, improvisation, or imagination. It's the difference between a good mod and an expensive paperweight. When in doubt, search the forums for your answer (and google), if you can't find something specific to your question then ask away.
Good luck and enjoy, you can't imagine how many goodies are waiting for you on this side of the fence.
welcome to the Glacier forums!
after succeeding root access and s-off, there MANY different roms out there. my person favorites would be Sense based roms, more specifically Sense 3.5, and even more specific, RCMix3D by capy. that ROM makes the MT4G BEAST!!

Hey welcome! One bit of advise I can offer is that when you are done fideling with sense...you should really check out the AOSP based Roms. Personally I really dig Faux123's gingerbread nexus rom. Great battery life and performance its cyanogen based so you get all.the tweaks but I find Faux's is.less glitchy. Message me if.you want and ill explain why sense looks nice but runs awful ha

ICS in mytouch 4g
I have been using mytouch 4g from one year. I rooted my device last week using cynogenmod wiki procedure. From last week I am experimenting with ICS: Creamed Glacier, currently in version 4.0. Wifi issues are fixed. ROM is great.
I was browsing phones and came across this one, looks sweet, has great ratings, and seems to have good specs. What are ya'lls thoughts on this phone?

Great phone all around, just needs a few Custom Firmware fixes and that's all.
Honestly the phone from Stock is enjoyable to a Certain extinct :'/
Low end cheap bro.....
have it right now. awsome phone.
upgraded from the evo 4g to this phone - absolutely love it! running jokersax11's CM9 beta ... from what i've heard, definitely one of (if not the best) CM9 build thus far. If you're thinking about it, I would say do it!

One upon time there was little TF101G. His name was simple "T". He was big and proud HoneyComb 3.2.1 tablet and introducing himself with 8.6.6.23 compilation number. Once he heard that he can be as big and fast as his father and brothers with Android Revolution HD custom rom, it was the only thing he was thinking about. The problem was, little T was not experienced in this area.
Our hero, little T knows how to flash ClockWorkMod, and then how to use it, but have no idea whatsoever how to root himself at this state.
Can you help little T get his first root?
Little T should have used the Search function on this forum to get rooted then he would have found:

Hey all,
So, over at the Sidekick 4G forums it is pretty much a ghost town. Some of you know this already, but as far as development goes, we are stuck on Froyo with a half-port of Gingerbread. Bad news, I don't think there is much going for us now, I haven't seen new posts for weeks.
I still love my Sidekick, and I recently acquired a couple extra devices to use, so I decided would like to try to make something myself.
YES, I kind of just dove in with this, and I have very minimal experience in code. (Some html and small jscript) But I really want to get this dang thing off of Froyo. It would be an amazing device on ICS or JB, I just feel it. And I know it has to be possible somehow right? The G1 has it, why not the SK?
Now, I have started looking into kernel development, and I have compiled a working Stock kernel for the Sidekick, and even figured out little things like disabling or enabling the boot animation. But what I really want to do....is climb out of the hole and try to port ICS to this device. I am a noob, I have MUCH to learn, but I have time on my hands. ;D
As far as building an ICS kernel for the phone, and hopefully one day an ICS rom for it, I am at a loss of ideas. I have done lots of searching already, found many tutorials, read them plenty of times. But I don't exactly know how to get on track... could I ask for some guidance?
Any response at all is appreciated
