I can't find the stock asus apps that come with my transformer. They are not included in CM10, so I was wondering if there were APK's or a zip somewhere.
I suggest to use Titanium ackup to backup asus apps before you use cm 10
I did it to.
Gapps is needed if oyu want market place
Google it

I did do this, I wasn't sure if there would be any compatibility issues or not. I've tried installing MIUI apps on stock android on my phone before and that never worked XD. Thanks for the tip, I will do this.

I installed an app from the market but can't uninstall it. The program is PressReader. Does anyone have trouble with this app. And how do I go about deleting it off the device completely?
Pressreader is a pre-installed app so it sounds like you have mistaken updating it from the market as installing a fresh version. You can't uninstall /remove pre-installed apps in the rom unless you have rooted your device.

Really...ypu possitive it's preinstalled on the transformer? Cause I swore I downloaded it. It had the install button when I went to the market. It also had an uninstall button after it's been installed, but doesn't do anything. Uninstalling will show the "install" button back when you visit the pressreader page. Oh well...may have to root it later at some point
100% sure. It comes with a trial of 5 downloads or something. Not removable without root.
Just got my Transformer yesterday, PressReader is pre-installed.

noob question : what is root means?

The root account is the highest privileged account on unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, which Android is based on (well, it is). It's equivalent to (an elevated) Administrator on Windows/OS X.
Having root access means you can do (for the most part) whatever the hell you want to the device. You can delete any file you want, you can write files anywhere, you can mess with the configuration in ways not normally allowed (such as tethering), backup installed apps with their configuration, etc.

Use Titanium backup, uninstall that way.
With Ti Backup, you can just freeze the app. That way you can always bring it back if you change your mind ...

Okay, this is going to sound weird, but im looking for the asus stock apps, particularily mylibrary. I installed revolver and then to my horror, titanium i guess had skipped over those apps in the backup process. So, if someone would be so kind as to fwd me the relevant apks, I'd be quite grateful.

Install revolver parts from market. then from "Others" section in Revolver Parts, download Revolver Removed Apps then flash downloaded image.
This will restore thosse apps. Good luck!

If you don't want to use Revolver Parts, you can get the "Asus Remove apps" here
http://www.gnufabio.com/revolver/dls/
Ah, thank you. i had seen that option the other day, but the way its worded, i thought it actually removed those apps.
Well, I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile. I recently just started to get new apps, themes, and launchers. I saw the Holo Launcher and it seemed pretty good. I liked the whole "ICS" feel of it.
I looked at rooting and flashing ROMs, kernels, and modems. I just needed some help with some questions I had. So if you could help me, that would be great, because I'm a kind of paranoid person and I don't want to screw up my phone.
What is CWM? And do you have to install this onto the phone or is it already there?
How do you enter CWM on this particular phone?
Does it matter which way you root? Will the way you root impact other decisions you will have to make in the future for the phone? Or does it not matter? And what is the best and easiest way to root?
Is it possible to unbrick a phone?
When you have a flashed ROM on, what if you want to flash another ROM? Do you have to flash back to stock or can you just flash the new ROM?
In the Unofficial CM9 ROM, one of the steps say: "(Optional) Flash gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip if you want the Market plus other Google apps." Do you have to do this with every ROM? And do you just flash it on the same way as a ROM? What is the process in this context?
How do you know what version your CWM is?
Finally, does anyone have a video tutorial that they could give me that is specific to the Unofficial CM9 ROM?
If you could answer any of these, thank you. I'm just a paranoid person when it comes to things like this.
Start here - this is our Wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G
Read it once, then read it again. That will answer most of your questions.
gapps isn't covered in the Wiki, but basically, as I understand it, for some legal reason the Google applications and some of their required libraries can't be distributed with CyanogenMod / AOKP and similar ROMs. As a result, they are packaged separately. There are different versions for GB and for ICS.
You don't need to install them, but you won't be able to access Play / Maps / GMail / Google Calendar / Google Contacts and the like without installing at least some of the zip. You do need to re-install it after every flash as they get installed in the "system" part of your phone, not the "user" part.
And one more thing. Where do the NANDroid Backups go? Do I need to put it on my computer or will it always be in my phone?

When you make a Nandroid backup, it is saved in a folder called clockworkmod on your SD Card - something like sdcard>clockworkmod>backup. You should definitely also save a copy of that folder to your computer, just in case.
Okay, and also...
Do I always have to delete the data/cache when installing a ROM? And do you always have to do UMMU?

Follow whatever directions the developers provide with their ROMs, and you'll be golden.
So, I've been having issues with my TF101 running CM10. I want to try switching ROMs to see if it helps. Issue is I have a lot of apps installed. In the past, I've used Titanium Backup, but the challenge is that I still have to sit there and approve each app for install manually. Is there a better way to handle this that I'm not thinking of, or should I just shell out for the premium version of TB?

Not exactly on point, but I use TWRP (from goo manager) and use the backup restore there when jumping from one rom to another making Titanium useful when switching ROMs from say CM10 to EOS4. I have a backup saved of stock rooted ICS too. When I do a restore my entire system reverts. This is only helpful switching DEVs. In any event I'd instal TWRP through goo manager. EOS4 is real nice. But you MUST read the instructions.

Yeah, I have TWRP and use it to take whole snapshots. I know when I take backups there, it has options like system, data, boot, etc, but I've never been sure if you can take just a data backup and restore that between ROM's and have that do what I'm wanting.

I've never been able to do exactly what you want, hense my "not on point", but a combo of the two is very helpful. (to me at least):cyclops:
Was wondering about this myself.
I have used Titanium Backup pro and find it very useful for restoring a full set of apps with data, as well as any missing data.
I haven't tried it but Carbon backup I think works on Android 4 without root required.

The Pro version eliminates all this questioning.
I'm running DH's Lollipop ROM and the Play store has been giving me -505 errors when I try to install certain applications. It is not during the download period, just when the app attempts to install itself. This happens with APKs as well. Is it an issue of Lollipop compatibility? I'm trying to download Chronus in particular.

Make sure that you did a clean install of the rom. If you were in TWRP there is a advanced wiping tab. Try wiping internal data (that does not wipe external sd card). This is probably a fix. If using some other recovery it should come with a similar feature. Hope this helped

Thanks, I tried that but still no luck so I just restored a nandroid. I've been digging around the N5 forums because they've had Lollipop for a while and it looks like it's a common thing with 5.0.

I had the same issue. Just curious, but did you try and use Titanium Backup at all? I did, and it failed. Must have broke something. A clean flash did the trick for me.
I had the same issue but only with apps that I attempted to restore with Titanium. I had to do a full data wipe and reflash to be able to install those apps again.

Yea I did and it just hangs up on that restore until I FC the app and deselect from restore. With the ROM I'm using Chronus (for example) is an optionally app to be installed and it installs that way but isn't the most up to date version and the update from the Play Store doesn't install either. Weird issues for sure.

Clean flash Lollipop and DO NOT use TiBu. It must not be fully working on 5.9 yet. I had the exact same thing happen. Just let Google restore your apps.

I have flashed the ROM and love it except this issue that I am also experiencing. I also have TiBu but did not use it for the app restore. Rather I used Google Play and it failed to install Any.do. I have tried manually and read extensively online and the problem appears to be related to Adobe air not being Lollipop compatible. I finally email Anydo and they are aware of the issue and are providing me with a link to their upcoming lollipop beta. My point is I don't believe reflashing, re-restoring, or rummaging around in the data/data folder will fix the 505 error.

After reading further I decided to uninstall ALL Task apps, which included Chaos-Control. I was then able to install Any.DO. It was a permission issue and it conflicted with Chaos-Control. Lollipop is confusing app permissions. Find the like app, uninstall, and then install the app you want. That worked for me.
