Hey everyone, I am not really familiar with rooting tablets, only phones.
A year ago, or something I rooted my Desire z, and was really happy with everything and the new features and ROM's I could flash.
But, how can you root an tablet?
And also, where could I find a tutorial on rooting the Asus TF101 ?
And after that, I was wondering what the most stable jellybean ROM is, with the most features working, I only use it for surfing the web, using apps, playing games and not really anything more than that, so if for example the radio does not work, I don't really mind.
As long as it's stable, and faster than stock!
My last question : Is it smart to root a tablet? Because phone's are sometimes out-dated, and you can root them and update the software with a custom ROM, but do tablets really depend on this software ? Or is it just rootable and still everything inside the tablet (hardware) works?
Regards!

So they are actually supporting rooting your device?
PS: Do you have any link to a tutorial, about rooting :fingers-crossed:
Also one more question : when rooting tablets, is there the same difference as with phones ? S-off, etc?

Anyone could help me out, please?
Kind regards
I don't remember which method I used for rooting (it was sooo long ago ). But check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688447.
As for JB rom, I recommend Team EOS 3, it's super smooth and works great! I also use TWRP recovery.
I used the same root method as mentioned above and it was very easy to do. Follow instructions. If I remember correctly you will have to check which model you have. Should be on a sticker near the connector port on the bottom. As for jelly bean I have never tried. But loving Revolver ICS.
Good Luck

For root try PERI tool or 1click rooting tools, I'm using the AOSP JB rom , pretty smooth so far.

As mentioned before there are many ways to root the tablet, and they are all great.
About JB ROMs, I tried them all and they are pretty much stable and even faster the ICS ROMs. I found Team EOS to be the most stable and battery friendly and I'm currently using their latest build(72) which is just great!

Im sorry if this has already been asked but I am on the fence of buying a tablet for work and ive narrowed it down to the Nexus 7 and the TF300. Im 99.9% sure I am going to be buying the TF300 ($100 more than the 16GB N7, but it has 2x the memory, 10", mHDMI out, and sdCard, no brainer). However I was wondering how the updates are from ASUS and when we could expect Jelly Bean?
Asus tends to be on top of things when it comes to updates in a timely manner. Although I wouldn't base your decision soley on jelly bean. As with any android version update, there are going to be bugs and app compatibility issues that has to be ironed out at first. Then android manufacturers have to tweak the source code and kernels to work with their roms. Then they have to iron out the bugs then. Any products of 2012 will most likely see jelly bean eventually. Newest isn't always the best. Especially when it comes to OS and software.

The N7 will be the priority for the short term. Once sales tail off then they can focus on the T700. They'll get to us promptly but not a priority. Yes, just IMO....

I understand the hype with jellybean. But when did ICS become an old outdated OS?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
put it this way
ICS is to JB what Vista was to Win7
(on most devices)
and that is the problem with Android, too many versions out at the same time that work perfectly well on the devices they are installed on

As soon as I loaded it on my Galaxy Nexus.
ICS is great, but JB is waayyyy better, imo.
I would think that since the Nexus 7 was built by Asus that they would have a leg up on getting updates out. Especially since they stick close to vanilla on their roms

What's replacing flash?
Nothing is replacing Flash. Flash doesn't need to be replaced. It needs to die and be forgotten. If your favorite websites still use Flash instead of proper HTML5, they need to get with the times and dump the resource- and bandwidth-hogging abomination known as Adobe Flash. E-mail them, and let them know that they need to update their $#!t.
I'm new here and an android newbee. I purchased an Asus tf300t a few day ago and have been reading up on all the cool ways it can be modded.
I've already rooted and overclocked it.
Is there a way that I can install JB on it as it's already rooted?

Once rooted, can it be upgraded via the official method (from Asus)? I just bought TF300 and waiting for it in the mail, so excited
Yes, a rooted TF300T can still receive OTAs. But you may lose root access after applying it, so use VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to backup.

Evening all, just bought myself a XOOM and I am loving it, I am just wondering if anyone can tell me if I am using a stock ROM??
Its an MZ601
Android Version 3.2
Kernel 2.6.36.3
[email protected] #1
Build
H.6.5-17-3
I am trying to weigh up wether I should try a JB ROM or just wait for the official version as I don't think it's that far off?
Are there any ROMs that support the UK 3G MZ601 ??
Thanks in advance!
Yup. Jellybean rom from team eos supports your device but 3g not yet working. But there is fully functional amazing rom for your device ics version from team eos. Check development section.

My device is still in warranty so iam a little worried to flash and void my warranty! Especially considering JB should be here imminently....
It also looks a little involved flashing a rom! I've done custom kernels and roms on android phones before but I didn't pay for them out of my own pocket (work phones)!!!
Thanks for the pointers guys!!

You gotta have an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery to flash EOS jellybean. Check the development section for the instructions on how to do those things. Its pretty simple.

I was looking forward to the potential development on the S3 back when I pre-ordered, but wow this is too much. A new ROM everyday, existing ROMs updated as often, several kernels crossing carriers, mods covering everything, and so much more to come.
I don't know where to start. Not really looking for suggestions (but I will listen... ). I really just want to thank ALL the developers for all their hard work.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
It's not too complicated, all roms fall into TouchWiz, Hybrid, or AOSP.
You can't go wrong with going with a TouchWiz rom based on 4.1.1 samsung's TouchWiz. Synergy is a popular rom with many features. CleanROM is a very good unbloated rom. I use CleanROM myself.
But before you do any of that you have to root it and then install the apps to unlock your bootloader and install a recovery tool. The recovery tool will allow you to flash new roms.
you seem to have done some research, heres another good guide to read if youre still in that phase.

id recommend flashing an AOSP rom for a week, and then a TW JB rom for a week an decide which one is best for you. at the moment id recommend a 4.1.2 rom if you try AOSP. its much more stable than the 4.2 roms that are currently available
I guess I should have mentioned that I am rooted and unlocked, have been for about 3 weeks, but have not done a thing except TB, and AdAway. I just keep reading different ROM and kernel threads.

Hello thanks for reply
Can you send me the link to well stable CM7 or ICS rom?also are they different(I'm really dumb in this)?And method to flash.
I'm sorry man but your basically asking me to give you every piece of information necessary in order to flash a custom ROM. All of this information can be found in the stickies of the various G2X forums. It is apparent that you are not quite knowledgeable enough yet for me to suggest that you flash your phone. I suggest reading the stickies and learning everything there is to know about flashing this phone. All of the information is available to you here on this forum. I will however recommend CM7 as it is a stable and newb friendly ROM to start with. I would download the latest weekly at get.cm . As far as flashing methods are concerned you need to use Clockwork Mod Recovery. There are many threads about it and a bundle of information dedicated to CWM Recovery in the stickies of this forum. Please read them.

there's no such thing as stable. You want stable? Stick to 2.3.4.
CM7 is 2.3.4 (or 2.3.3, depending) GB and is absolutely stable. No reason or advantage to staying stock with this device unless blue tooth phone audio is a necessity.
Latest CM7 is 2.3.7... I'm using the March 2013 version.

CM7 is absolutely stable as Pain said, and he is right. If you think CM7 is not stable go look up stable in the dictionary. CM7 is not perfect, but very much stable. I also believe its only a baseband issue where CM7 has the Bluetooth issue (old baseband works fine, new one doesn't).

Yeah, Idk why I said that lol, I was thinking about the baseband differences from 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, not the android versions =x
and Eve, it all depends on what you recognize as stable. I don't use nor do I wish to use blue tooth functions for calling purposes. So for me not having that option does not subtract from the "stability" of CM7. I am still able to use bluetooth for media purposes which I rarely do anyway. CM7 offers plenty of customization and options for your phone that you cannot possibly have if it is stock. For a first time user coming from stock software, CM7 will make you feel like you have a brand new device!
As topic says
I am a Tab2 user but i got this yesterday and i really need the JB 4.3 .
I just hate Samsung stock bloat rom. Is there any custom alternative to my Note GT-N8010?
Also is there any way to root this device?
I think i found a guide but i ask the professionals here instead of guessing
Thanks guys/Girls!
There are plenty of roms and ways to be rooted, you should check the whole android dev. Forum before oppening a new topic asking for something that is already there...
Well is i said im not sure what i can use or not. I do not want to damage my tablet and therefor i ask the guys who knows what rom i can use with my GT-N8010 32GB
Most of the roms i have been looking at doesn't say if it is for my device or the other 8xxx devices. I have root but i want a new fast rom (4.3-4.4) with working s-pen and IR
i ask because i do not want to make a mistake :/ Also looking for a good Kernel!
I am looking for
*Rom thats fast with no bloat (4.3/4.4) working with GT-N8010 32GB
*A nice Kernel with over clock possibility working with GT-N8010 32GB

Well, I have a n8010 too, and we dont have a 4.4 rom yet, I tried Omnirom but wasnt able to install it. 4.3.1 rom is the CyanogenMod 10.2 , you can check official CM page and look for the n8013 model it should work just fine and it comes preloaded with a good kernel, but the rom is so fast fhat you wont need any OC, after thst you got Android Revolution HD and Hyperdrive, I am currently on hyperdrive (4.2.1) and sweet lord is FAST it comes with bloat only if Uwant it and all the spen funcionalities, Oh yeah..also CM10.2 doesnt come with all the spen funcionalities but the pressure sensitivity is the same.. (but you dont have snote and the realtime cropping option etc, those come with touchwiz.... My re omendation?.. Hyperdrive. Next one would be CM10.2 both are really awesome (for me) but one is AOSP and the other is touchwiz
Thank you very much! Will take a look at CM10.2 as i didnt get the Wifi working on Hyper.....

go with [4.4.2] OmniROM instead...
Although I did try Hyperdrive, I wasn't too impressed & Pacman was better, as I have been on 4.1.2 since day one & finally made the switch. I skipped over 4.2/4.3 & decided to go with the [[UNOFFICIAL Kit-Kat]] omniROM 4.4.2 on mine for the meantime. I am very much impressed, only issue I have found so far, is the 'Swype' feature isn't working, but other than that, its stellar thus far. I would highly recommend this rom for your tablet, until something 'new comes along... Maybe a Jedi X-Master ROM for our Note10.1's!!!
OmniROM 4.4 Does work for Galaxy Note 801x
One catch about OmniROM, it doesn't have a root built-in, so don't forget to root your device after you install the new ROM.
So to install, make sure you have CWM 6.0.4.4 (aka Philz Touch) or TWRP 2.6.3.1 as your recovery, and then go from there. The newest Roms are located on the OmniROM website now, and N801x is included. Get the gapps for Android 4.4, install after you install the ROM. Install the root after all that.
It's easy to install, and easy to use. I have been using Omni for about a month now, and it runs great. I just wish Samsung would've had enough sense to update all their models with this version of Android.

First install a custom recovery, the one I have found to work best is Philz Touch. You can do a search and find the link for it here in XDA. It's good because as I have noted before, OmniROM does not come rooted. Philz Touch has to be the easiest recovery I have ever used to install root, and you may want to do it several times because there are nightlies for the ROM.
As for the ROM, go to dl.omnirom.org and go to the folder for 'n801x'
Once you get the zip file downloaded, copy it to your SD card, install the recovery, and then install the ROM
Oh, don't forget, make sure you also get gapps for Android 4.4 on your SD card before doing this. Pointless to have a ROM with no gapps install.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Good luck
