CyanogenMod 9 for TF101, compiled by daxtsu and whitekidney, device and vendor trees authored by the kind folks over at http://androidroot.mobi/ . We did not program CM9, or the vendor/device trees for the TF101. We're standing on the shoulders of giants here. However, we're going to try and improve certain things as time goes on, so hopefully we can contribute to it.

Fix for MicroSD mount(for ADB):
adb shell
su
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD
mkdir /Removable/SD
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk1
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk2
Or open a terminal emulator app:
su
mkdir /Removable/MicroSD
mkdir /Removable/SD
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk1
mkdir /Removable/USBdisk2
then insert SD/MicroSD/USB stick again, it is now mounted at the proper location.
The source for AndroidRoot's vendor and device trees is located at https://github.com/AndroidRoot/
And the source code for CM9 is at https://github.com/CyanogenMod .
WK and I will probably open up our own github at some point as well, but for now, we haven't modified anything in the source, so there's nothing to share in that regard. Much like my last rom, we're building this ROM for the learning experience, so feedback is always welcome, but please keep "Thanks!" only posts out of this thread, that's what the thanks button is for. However, if you have additional comments to go after it, like "Thanks, but I have an issue, like blah blah blah...", that's fine. Thank you.

Very impressive. Massive props to the OP. But I won't be flashing these yet, since I'm waiting for a friend of mine to get back from vacation. And we're gonna flash both of our TFs !
p.s.: I'm Mreich in the irc
p.p.s.: It would be nice if you guys could implement 3G dongles support
I'll flash.

Yeah. Like the first post says, make a folder named MicroSD in /Removable. It requires root, so use ES File Explorer(or other root explorer), ADB, or Terminal Emulator to do it. Any of those should work. Then just insert your microsd again.

So this is not by CM its made from the source of CM9...?.?
Also how much in the performance menu works? and is there any speed improvements so far (I'm asking because its the first build and you may have some work to do ) I guess the extra 300-400 pts in Quadrant show some improvement so far, I bet it will get up to 3000 xD lulz!!
Thanks for the support and development , prob gunna flash this soon!!
Are you sure that wifi works, it can find networks, but it won't connect to them
So excited seeing CM9 on the TF101. Can't wait to test it out.

Yes, we compiled it from the latest(as of the time of compiling) CM9 source code. WK and I aren't affiliated with the CM team in any way.

This is CM9 built from Cyanogenmods sources, not an official build.
I've been using the build for a few hours now and I can easily say it's a little bit smoother.
We hope that ASUS drops the kernel sources soon so that we can get kernels which allows us to overclock, so that we can stretch the quadrant bar even further!

Are you sure? WiFi works perfect here.
Now some stuff that comes with ASUS i like... like Supernote, File Manager is pretty good, Polaris Office, App Locker, and MyNet and MyCloud seem good... Is that all removed (i know you said removed bloatware but did you mean all that came with it?)
This is awesome, Thanks again!!!!!
None of it is in the CM9 source, so no, it's not there. We're going to upload the ASUS apps eventually for your use, but for now it's the bare minimum.
OK then, CM9 has been flashed and is up and running.
1st thing I see after I run the SD card tweak, my battery icon is showing as charging while plugged in to the USB. I just gotta say ME LIKEY!
So far so good folks, big thanks to you all and I'll keep you posted

THIS IS A DMA WIFI HERO BUILD:
Thanks goto addisu and dzo for getting a working Wifi module and all the hard working developers who get Android ported to the various devices.
Thanks to JAC for making the base rom (JACHeroski1.6)
This pack was tested and worked before uploading!
Directions:
0) If you have a data.img delete it first!
1) Copy all files from "Required" to the root of your memory card. I recommend at-least a 512mb.
2) Launch haret and click "Run"
2.1) You will need to wait for the data.img (data store) to be created, this takes around 2 minutes. This stores your files.
3) It takes sometime to get to the setup screen. If the screen turns off, just turn it back on. It will come up.
4) Go through the intro of Android (you only do this once)
The first 3 steps get you into Android
The following gets you Wifi (Kaiser/Tilt only)
* In this build, you can now select your WiFi in the setup.
In side Android:
1) Bring the menu up
2) Goto settings
3) Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls then click "Wi-fi" wait until there is a check
4) Select your network under Wi-Fi Settings
6) Make sure you save your "calibration" file and keep a copy of it save so you can just move it to future builds.
House cleaning:
I did not develop any of this kit, I simply put the pieces together and made them available in an easy to use package.
If you need any help please leave a comment in the forum!
To setup APN you must configure it, this can be found on the Android Vogue Wiki( http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/wikii/HowToInstall )

Well, the previous one is not for strictly a build, its more for the wikis and stuff. This thread is strictly for downloading a complete package.
cool, I'll bite!
Trying to follow the steps when i type "su"
i get "uid 10027 not allowed to su" , I did a search for this phrase and the only hit i got was the same error, but person asking was ignored.
Any ideas on how to get around this?
I'm running on a Tilt.
Thanks !!
Excellent, any mirror not from rapid or mega?, my network has the storage web filter , a FTP mirror will be great!
Thanks in advance,

So the hero zip file is a rom? and if so can you flash it to a kaiser ?
keep it up...
if its like HTC HERO, it would be nice
Thanks natalic, it works.
Some additional points:
1) Ensure you're getting the file from the rapidshare link. I tried the latest build from the project site (android-1.5-2009-08-04.zip) and I never managed to extract the calibration file
2) There's a hero build here (http://drop.io/calibrationfiles) but I would suggest to get the calibration file out 1st before trying the hero build. It seems that you wont be able to access the terminal easily from Hero builds... (Maybe it's just me)
What works and not in the Android build (non-hero):-
1) Browser works
2) Market works
3) Google Sync works
4) Google maps does not work

yes it is, android is starting to need a forum all to itself, or you can look at it like this if the android threads are builds from diff "android chefs" then it would be no different than multiple rom threads for diff chefs or diff wm versions.
Heres my working repack. Enjoy

Is it reasonably responsive on your kaiser? I tried one build of it today, and it was awful. I mean all the features are cool, but no amount of features can replace responsivness...

Android 2.0.1-r5v0.6
Dead:
==============
After spending some time and looking over this rom and ways to make it work with out any legal issues. The most viable option was to build something like what cynanogen has built. His process takes the proprietary bits (all google apps including sync) and copies them off onto the SD card before doing a update. After the update it copies them back to the newly installed rom. This method basically does a automated backup/restore of your licensed applications. I can't do this for several reasons including that we are supposed to be coming from a 1.5 OS to a 2.0.1, which isn't compatible with the older application set.
Temporarily Offline:
==============
I am sorry to have to do this but we are now having more then just a small handful goofing with this ROM and I need to take this offline while I inspect each of the parts and make sure all licensing is in order since its a bit more then the google Opensource framework. I know that several other ROM creators have not paid much attention to it as I am going to now but I really don't want to upset any IP holders like what happened to Cynanogen a couple months back.
I will put it back up but I want to make sure that I am totally covered and don't have any issues.
version 0.6: download (offline)
==============
-fixed wifi thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593620
-Now starts up with Android stock keyboard. (No longer needs HTC_IME.apk for second keyboard)
A few have asked for this ROM so I thought I would put it up here for anyone that wants to contribute to or take from it.
This ROM is only compatible with the Sprint CDMA HTC Hero. It is not finished and still requires some work but its good enough for my day to day use and I am sure others may find the same potential.
This ROM is vanilla android and what it takes to actually get it running on a CDMA phone. It is built off of this GSM variant. I am going to try and work to remove the google bits so that you can use Cynanogens method of extracting your own and then doing a follow up update to install them. My efforts for this is not to build a better rom but to build a cleaner base that has limited to no proprietary IP.
Credits to all on this forum how have helped or contributed in any way to building the roms that are here. I would point out names but there are to many to name. I am positive that anyone that pays attention to this forum will know who you are. I used many parts of these ROM's and many others on XDA to build this one.
This is my first ROM and was primarily made for myself to help me learn how to create a custom ROM.
Here is the link to my blog where I originally posted about this and a video of it booting.
Here is the Youtube video of it booting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTh-rXKe-E
*Warning*: Don't attempt to flash this ROM onto anything else unless you know what you are doing! I am not responsible for any device malfunctions or "Bricks".
Notes on Installing:
- Run a Nandroid backup before you do anything.
- Make sure you do a full wipe first. (Sorry )
- Run the update zip found * Version 0.6 *(offline) from the recovery console.
To get the HTC keyboard installed: (Now Optional as of Version 0.6)
- Follow the instructions here.
Things that don't work:
- Gallery some times has issues.
- Camera
- Wired or Wireless Tethering (Now Testing)
- Orientation
- Trackball light
- Trackball click (Rolling and moving are fine)
- (Let me know if something else needs to go here.)
Possible issues that are not repeatable:
- speaker not working on out bound calls? I made 30 test calls to my home phone and was not able to replicate this issue. Needs to be verified (see here)

Let me know if any of you have issues flashing. I still have it all right here in front of me if I need to make a change.
FYI: The first boot takes for ever as it registers all the APKS.
i just get the HTC_IME fource close i installed the one from the site like you said and installed it and i get this

So you installed both the HTC_IME.apk and the Clicker.apk? Did you do a adb push or a adb install?
Try and go into settings --> Language & Keyboard --> Touch Input --> Text Input?
I think its a force of habit with out really thinking to go there and calibrate but just going there may help.
Try that and let me know.
i just flashed it and pushed the keyboard and calibration app through adb and all is well. its working awesome. Thanks!!!

I would do an install or transfer them to your SD card and grab a app like Astro from the market to install them. Don't worry we will get you worked out.

Thanks, but I really can't take to much credit. Its a "Pick and Pull" from several ROMs. This one actually came from our GSM Brothers and then I used the CDMA tricks in this form to make it work.
I keep watching and playing with the Google Nexus Dumps. I would really like to get one of them up and running.
Based on your posting and replies I assume you are re-using the 2.6.27 kernel like the other roms?

Wow thats allot in a little space.
What I gather is that it originally booted, then after trying to install via droid explorer and then astro it now just dies after the lockscreen.
I am not sure where to start. I would just say to do a full wipe, then a clean install. Then if you have the sdk try the ADB install method as Cynanogen's post talks about.
I am working on trying to get the stock Android keyboard to work. If we can figure out that then we don't have to mess with the HTC one.
ok i got it i just adb pushed them to system/app works great

Yeah, actually some of your work if I remember correctly, thats why its got the same issues. My first goal when I built this for my self was to get past the blasted google bits sync loop. The more I worked into it the more I moved on to the 2.0.1 build with some of your stuff in it.
Your welcome to anything I have learned, its really not my work.
This is my first attempt at a custom ROM for any Android device, so bear with me. I did not build this from AOSP source, or any other source code. It's entirely from ASUS. This ROM is intended for those who don't like the stock ASUS apps, similar to KRAKD/FROZN, except I've not optimised any of the APKs or anything else. Hopefully this can be a useful base ROM for another dev, taking the tedious part out of the equation. It's completely based on US, not WW or TW.
It's large(300Mbyte) because I used a binary blob. I'm working on shrinking it down with a proper update sript.
Apps I removed:
Amazon Kindle
MyCloud
ASUS File Manager
MyLibrary
MyNet
Netflix
News & Weather(and their widgets)
PolarisOffice
PressReader
MyZine
Tegra Game Zone
Web Storage
Zinio
PC Sync
ASUS Software keyboard(the touchscreen one, not the dock keyboard)
DMClient(related to ASUS updates, from what I understand)
ASUS software update(so no annoying OTA notifications that you can't use anyway)
SuperNote
-any others not included that I forgot to list
How to install:
1. A complete data wipe(at least dalvik & cache, data is optional) is strongly recommended if you're coming from Honeycomb.
2. Flash the zip from CWM.
3. Enjoy your new ICS.
You should be able to flash from any ROM if you clear at least dalvik and cache.
Features:
-Pre-rooted for your convenience, with busybox, su, and SuperUser.
-ALL bloatware removed, hopefully improving performance
-Closer to an AOSP experience due to all bloat being removed.
What this ROM does NOT have:
-Custom kernel
-Stock ICS buttons(it has the crummy ASUS back, home, recent app buttons)
-Zipaligned APKs
-Deodexed APKs
-A name, since it doesn't really need one right now.
How I created it(roughly, not a step by step):
1. I reverted from a custom ROM(krakd) to the latest US .21 HC release, with stock recovery
2. I Rooted with nachoroot and then used OTA keeper to unroot
3. I updated to US ICS via OTA.
4. I reapplied root with OTA keeper
5. I used ES file manager and terminal to remove the apps
6. I used ES file manager to add SuperUser to /system
7. Installed busybox at some point during these steps, I forget when.
8. Used dd to image the /system partition(mmcblkp0) to a file on my MicroSD
9. Replaced the LNX and APP blobs of a Honeycomb update(.21) with the ICS ones
10. Flashed it, and it worked.
So it's not a "proper" update, broken down into directories and such, but it does work.

Have you tested this at all?>
Yes, why? It worked fine on my TF101.
I think everyone is always a bit skeptical of a ROM that someone says openly is their first attempt and they have less than 10 posts on here..you are after all talking about potentially rendering a $500 device useless..people are usually right to exercise caution..when the developer cannot post in the dev section because his post count is too low!
But hey, that is how Paul Burton started here, though it was not his first ROM I am quite positive..

Fair enough, I do admit I'm new to Android development, but I wouldn't release something without testing it on my own device first.

Did you do a full wipe? I installed it at least 5 times today during testing removing apps with no major issues..

Yes, although like I said. I know what I am doing. My power cord in fact, may have just broke. (Although I doubt it.)

It sounds like he got the ROM and removed the third party apps, not that he got the source code to build it to AOSP.
its more a list of apps that are safe to remove with TB...... IMO anyway. Happy to wait and see if it leads to something a bit more though.
Lets make sure that no one will ever want to dev for us anymore by slapping the new guy around who took the time to try something himself. I recall Paul didnt have enough posts to start a thread in dev but he seems to know what hes doing. Why not just ban anyone whos new from ever posting any kind of dev work ever. Because what we need are more people making fun of and trashing someones work instead of people actually willing to take their time and try to make YOUR device nicer. Any wonder if this is why devs are leaving xda every day?
BTW..Just flashed this and it booted just fine. I did a system wipe first.
Maybe you should be the guy to add onskreen framework to a rom....hint

I didn't, sadly. I kludged it together somewhat by dding the fully updated ICS /system partition(adding busybox, su, Superuser beforehand) and making it into a blob that's flashable.

Correct.
Thanks for the feedback guys. If you want anything added, I'll try to accomodate with flashable zips since they're smaller to upload. My upload is horrible, so I can only upload a large ROM every once in a while(it takes over an hour!). I'm not discouraged, I know how it is to be the new guy. I know this rom's probably nothing special, but I just wanted to share what I'm enjoying with others.

Haha, it's not that custom, more of a repack with a bunch of removed apps, but I'll look into making it deodexed and stuff. I'm still learning how to do that.

Warning: if you rooted your phone using the blaze recovery you need to use Odin and push our custom recovery tar file located below. make sure to uncheck repartion. if you push this with the blaze recovery it could cause issue's.
ok so d4astic cooked us up a CM 10 mod unofficial and our very own CMW recovery here are the links, and we need someone who can grab this and take over because d4astic doesnt have this phone and has a nightly on the blaze, so here you go everyone. I've taken over running the builds so....
,,,let the fun begin....
One more thing make sure you push the recovery first because the blaze one won't work with this rom

thanks for posting it here... I will test it. Also you should post Gapps link. I have it.. but others might not and may flash the wrong Gapps.
This is NOT a rant...
These are some bugs I found so far.
1. Screen Orientation (Which OP mentioned)
2. While charging if you touch the power button It will black out and Hangs up (Pull battery and restart)
3. Camera sometimes having issues. (camera not found) but most of the time works perfect.
4. Call quality Low (Like all CM builds)
Rest everything seems to be very smooth. Google Now works without any issues.
I'm just writing this for information purpose only for those who like to use this build.
Thanks a lot to dr4stic for giving us this build.

Guys, turn off the notifications. The touchkey driver I used is the stock samsung one which doesn't have the BLN (button lights notifications) which CM is looking for. Whenever you get a message, or email, or really anything that would trigger a blinking LED, it's gonna crash the phone cuz the driver doesn't know how to handle it.

BLN was never checked at-least on my phone. But its the screen rotation issue made me rollback to Stock ICS. I know you're very busy... but if you can guide me where to look into for that issue I will. Thanks again for ur hard work.
He needs a log cat run during the screen rotation and during start up so he can see what's going on. I don't know how to do this yet I've been looking into it but don't really know where to start. Do you know how to do this

Another thing that would be nice, the output of dmesg.
Just a brief explanation of what these things are. Logcat is basically the general android system logs as it boots up and runs. The dmesg is the log specifically of kernel messages as it boots up. This often includes details on drivers and potential errors there. ADB = android debug bridge, a way to connect to android, push and pull files, get a shell on the system, etc...
Install ADB drivers: If you've installed the drivers necessary to use Odin with your phone, it should include Samsung's ADB drivers for the phone. So I don't think you need to worry about that.
Install ADB: Not great, but not horrible ADB install tutorial
As for the phone itself, ADB is automatically enabled within recovery. When the phone is booted up as, you know... a phone... you'll want to go into Settings -> Developer Options, find "Android Debugging" and make sure it's turned on. That will enable ADB on android.
Now, some sample ADB commands to make your lives easier...
Check to make sure ADB sees your device (you should do this whenever you connect your phone to your computer, just to make sure you won't run into any errors with the commands below):
Code:
adb devices
Grab the output of dmesg (two versions, see it or redirect to a file.. you pick):
Code:
adb shell dmesg
or
adb shell dmesg > C:\name-of-some-text-file.txt
Grab the output of logcat (two versions, see it or redirect to a file.. you pick):
Code:
adb logcat
or
adb logcat > C:\name-of-some-text-file.txt
* NOTE: This will continue to grab output until either the system reboots or you hit CTRL+C on your keyboard. If you're just looking for the most recent messages, let it run for a few seconds and then CTRL+C it out.
Get a Linux shell on the system:
Code:
adb shell
Restart local ADB server (sometimes necessary... if you KNOW your phone is connected and ADB stopped recognizing it):
Code:
adb kill-server
Thanks guys!
I began setting a dB up on my comp last night I have java installed and started on the SDK but I fell asleep will work on it some more today. Now I'm going to read the links you posted and see if my research went in the right direction. One thing I will tell you is I've been spoiled by windows. Setting this up has given me flashbacks to the days of DOS. Lol
Thanks for the info and the time to point us in the right direction.

Another easy way is install Droid Explorer (http://de.codeplex.com/) Power off phone when connected. then click on the logcat console button. It will open the command window and lines keep scrolling... Don't do anything till it completely boots. then Save the file (option on cmd window).
But i think the rotation issue is in the kernel so we might have to use the cmd line provided for that. U can use it in the same app.
Currently I'm back on ICS... So once I can't do it now. Today when I get some time I will re-install and run this.

It probably is in the kernel. That's why I want the output of dmesg as well.
Incidently, it seems my initial kernel patch is winning some reviews and with any luck, I'll have it in the official cm kernel fairly soon now.
I did a search in the play Store for Log Cat, there are numerous apps in there for saving, sharing logcats, will these do the job? I certainly seems it would be much easier than ADB. Just curious.

Not a big deal. So far not having any issues other than rotate bug. Even notifications are working ok. I did turn off some notification light setting and I thought I saw something about softkey flash notification, but I couldn't find it again. Take me a bit to get used to the menu structure.
Everything is pretty smooth as of right now.
Unfortunately my phone randomly shut down twice today and I ended up going back to ICS for now. The first time I had foursquare open but had laid it down since the light changed and when I picked it up it was off, the second time it was just laying on the desk and when I picked it up it was off again. I did back it up before restoring ICS though. I've got a lot going on the next couple days and need a dependable device.
I might restore back to CM 10 and tinker with it when I'm not expecting phone calls.

This should probably be posted here, but I sadly don't have the required 10 posts to do so.
There's one issue that I noticed that is actual in 0.2.2alpha. When you choose to flash Jhinta 3.1x kernel and not 2.6x kernel, it is still linux.img that is being flashed, instead of jlinux.img.
Also there's one question (or rather a feature request). Once you have dual boot up and running it would be nice to be able to flash linux rootfs only (ubuntu.img) without changing the partition table and loosing current android install. You can't currently do that with Tubuntu, right?
Best regards,

Thank you for your effort
Speaking about your own kernel, I tried compiling one from Jhinta source, but I received odd errors at boot time. First it was this kind of errors:
lists.litmus-rt.org/pipermail/litmus-dev/2012/000215.html
it was suggested there to try changing CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT kernel config value, I did that, and then I got some other odd errors, so I gave up
Right now I have a more or less stable 12.04 kubuntu+3.10.1 jhanti kernel with hw acceleration, sound, zram (used netinstall 0.6). I'm only missing overclocking and a cifs module, that's why I tried building my own kernel, but never got it booting. I don't know any sane methods of backing up and restoring linux on tf101 (well, dd + gzip should work, but that's rather stupid), so I'm a little hesitant about flashing your lubuntu right now. I think I'll still give it a go, but before I do that, don't you know any easy way to back up my current linux install?
Thank you

I'm only missing overclocking and a cifs module, that's why I tried building my own kernel, but never got it booting. I don't know any sane methods of backing up and restoring linux on tf101 (well, dd + gzip should work, but that's rather stupid), so I'm a little hesitant about flashing your lubuntu right now. I think I'll still give it a go, but before I do that, don't you know any easy way to back up my current linux install?
Thank you

i'm now compiling from his source. for the 3.1.10 kernel i'm using. why try to reinvent the wheel? i just recompiled and added oc and cifs, i didn't run into any compile issues but i did run into boot issues so changing the kernel to compress with lzmo instead of gzip fixed it. hope that helps
Thank you for your work on this

x3maniac I was wondering if you have ever checked out openELEC linux. They just pushed out a new version on Distrowatch and it looks like it will have support for ARM devices. It is very lightweight at 106mb and is made to run XBMC out of the box. Might be worth a try due to its size and media streaming abilities.
Thanks

thanks for the info. i will look into it, i do have a arch linux version working with 3.1 which is only about 200mb.
edit:
they have a arm version 83mb! lols
Cool

Wow that is small. I have seen Roms that small but never an os. Wait, is that openELEC or Arch you are talking about.
On another note if I do end up getting around to trying your method with arch which desktop would you recommend?
Thanks

openelec(rasbery pi)
if you want it to look nice then enlightment e17. for a light weight DE they make it very pretty with all the effects like compiz
or lxde

Compression was already set to lzma. I can't figure out what I was doing wrong. Yet, you're right, no point to reinvent the wheel.
I see you've recently released your Lubuntu V1.1-rc1. The specs sound great! Could you please post the rootfs download link and also post your kernel img?
Thank you for the great work you're doing!

I gave it a go First of all, Tubuntu flashes .\images\linux.img when choosing to flash "2.6x x3maniac kernel", I assume it should flash .\images\xlinux.img
That's not a big issue, but should be fixed
A quick list of things I noticed.
1. Things that work:
-1.2 GHz OC
-Usb mouse (when plugged before system boots, otherwise not - that's due to 3.1.10 kernel, I guess)
-cifs module
-chromium
-terminal (right clicking on your tf101linux gadget -> Shortcuts -> Terminal)
-screen brightness up/down buttons. You just have to be mindful to avoid turning the screen off this way - it won't turn on afterwards and you'll have to force reboot.
-ntfs read/write
2. Things that don't work:
-touchpad
-XF86poweroff button
-System Tools -> XTerm/UXTerm
-sound: Audacious complains "ALSA error. No suitable mixer element found. snd_mixer_find_selem failed". Gnome MPlayer just won't produce any sound, and youtube html5 videos too.
-plugging in an external usb drive. It's totally ignored. A pen drive doesn't even blink, nor the drive appears in /dev it works now. It didn't during initial launch. Don't know why, but a reboot cured this.
Also, it happens quite often that system freezes for no apparent reason and only force reboot helps. It happened twice with me already, although it's been less then an hour since I flashed lubuntu.
Tell me if you need some additional info
Regards

i love your report! keep up the good work. this helps me narrow down the problems but without a dock i can't fix some of the issues. but try this
touchpad:
edit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
Code:
Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection
should fix the touchpad issue.
i will look into fixing my script for the brightness issue. located int /usr/local/bin/tfbright
what were you doing when you freeze? i don't have a dock(still waiting for it in the mail) so i don't know if it's related to that.
i've been looking at nvidia git and downloaded there source for the linux4tegra kernel. it' compiled fine but wont boot. don't know why yet
x3maniac, I know it is off topic a bit but I just wanted to mention that I appreciate your attitude towards your work and especially criticism (aka feedback) from others about your work. Reminds me of my EVO 4G days running tommytomato's classic rom. His threads were always friendly and optimistic, much like your own.

Strange, but there's no /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I tried creating it with `Xorg :1 -configure`, but I get "No devices to configure. Configuration failed."
I also tried creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following content
Code:
Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection
but touchpad wont' work.
Like I said, there appears to be no apparent reason for those freezes The only things they had in common are the following:
(as far as I can remember)
-I had a cifs share mounted
-pen drive was plugged in
-chromium was opened
I understand that isn't helpful at all, but atm I can't reproduce those freezes myself. They occur kind of randomly.
I hope linux4tegra kernel does boot after all
Thank you for your work
EDIT: 30 minutes without freezes, I hope they're gone for good! :laugh:

as far as i see it, you guys are helping me get a working version. user/tester are as important as the devs making them. or else dev's would be out of the job. lols that's how i see it
I let lubuntu running and it froze smth like 20 minutes ago Without me doing anything. Chromium was running, pen drive plugged in and a cifs share mounted.
I'll leave it running without a pen drive plugged in, shares mounted and chromium running to see if it freezes eventually.

i'm guessing jhanti's kernel is not stable. i was starting to use it more and got a random freeze. cpu1 went to sleep and wont wake up. looking into that.. i might just take nvidia's kernel 3.1.10 and try to get that working.
