Hi,
I tried both the official CM10 nightly and RaymanFX's B4. Both work smoothly and reliably. But there are still things I miss from the stock ASUS, and I wonder if there is a workaround or fix:
1. There is no Hebrew layout for the physical keyboard. the settings doesn't have this option. I looked at /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars and there are files for hebrew (asusec-iw_IL.kl, kcm). I even tried to copy the files over another language that exists in the settings but this didn't help
2. when I plug the HDMI cable, there is no icon, and I didn't find a way to hide the status bar to allow full screen on the tv
3. in the ASUS rom there is an option in the settings to configure the right mouse key (when connecting an external mouse). is there a way to configure the right key to 'back'
4. is there a way to disable trackpad pinch to zoom? when I scroll in the browser, it always zoom in/out a little all the time
5. is there a way to reverse the scrolling gesture direction for the trackpad (to be like normal pc's)
Thanks,
(I am a new user so I can't post on the RaymanFX thread, hope someone sees this)

I have copied the folder I had MAMECE3 (mamece3 dot mameworld dot info) installed on - onto the sd card in my HD2. The program runs fine, but the problem is the buttons. I see that morphgear has an onscreen d-pad - is it possible to add one to this? This is the one thing I really miss from my old Axim x51v - a d-pad!
They have the source code available. This would open our devices up to yet another whole world of 1,000s of games. I would love to see moonpatrol, pacman, tapper and asteroids running yet again. And with freeware ;-)
note: anyone else have a favorite game they used to run on MAME?
You just named all my favs..... I'd love to see the MAME come to the HD2.
Try with LMT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263): among the other features it sports a good trasparent multi-touch onscreen controller, that can be used either on portrait and landscape mode.
It should overcome your problem (and be much more playable...).
By the way SEGA and Capcom games were the best!
OK tried it - nothing.
More detail - I installed it as per the instructions (on the device). If i run it, it just takes me back to the home screen. No findger swipes do anything other than the regular sense ones. I checked the task manager I don't see it running. I wonder what it takes to call it up other than just clicking on the shortcut.
So, I ran MAME. after a short time the game chooser menu comes up. It is at this point that I can set the buttons for different things, but nothing as far as LMT is concerned. So I go back and run it thinking maybe it is not running in the background (esp. since it never shows up in the task manager). Ahhh (wait for it ......) still nothing.
Kind of disappointing. I can start a rom, enter coins, but that is it - without my beloved d-pad i miss soo much.
Any other ideas?
Quick report back. Went over the thread again. Saw what I was doing wrong with LMT. It is a double swipe thing. I see the double swipe etc. on the Home screen. If you drawing a box with your finger the console comes up. I have had that up while trying to configure the buttons. I was even able to configure all of the buttons to taps on the LMT console (up = up, A for exit game, etc.) - no success.
When the game starts it is still lokking for the hardware keys and not the software ones - even though they are set in the button configure menu of MAMECE.
Please let us know if anyone else was able to get it working.
I succesfully mapped buttons 1 and 2 on LMT Controller, but not the others. Directional keys work perfectly.
My problem is that with the LMT Controller in portrait mode the only visible section of the screen during game is under the controller, while on landscape mode all is visible but it's really unconfortable!
And unluckily MAMECE3 doesn't support screen in landscape mode!
I've to figure out something else...
OK If you are interested in this. The LMT controller works great (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263&page=67) go there get it - DONATE!. note: this is the latest page - it is on page 1. Use it in landscape mode. You just have to have it off when going to button settings - then do the square to open it - set the buttons. Hit the x to close it and save your settings.
Start the ROM you want - restart the controller.

YES it does. Click on options > Rotate Right and it will work just fine. It took me a while to figure this one out. Also, if you delete all of your config files in the cfg directory it will use your default settings for everything. One thing I did was, change the one player button to the back arrow (hard key) less problems that way.
Remeber that left arrow then right arrow is "OK"
Is is possible to configure the TF101 automatically change the keyboard upon connecting/disconnecting the dock?
I want to use the physical keyboard when the tablet is docked. When it isn't docked, I want to use Swype, because the Asus onscreen keyboard just isn't anywhere near as good as Swype.
Another problem I have is, for some strange reason, when using the Asus onscreen keyboard, long pressing the text box doesn't bring up the switch keyboard option. I experienced this today using Evernote, and have seen it in other programs.
Is there a shortcut on the Asus onscreen keyboard to change keyboards (not to another Asus keyboard, but to another installed keyboard)?
If not, is there an widget I can put on the desktop that will toggle between two different keyboards?
I'm afraid that automatic switching of keyboard is not possible. As far as I know the permission which is necessary to change keyboard from other process is not possible to get without platform manufacturer signature (Asus in case of stock Transformer)
For the keyboard switch yo can use a small keybard icon in the notification area.
There is an app to switch keyboards based on orientation. I remember it coming from someone on the N1 subforums. Try looking for it and contacting the dev and see if he's willing to adapt it for the TF.
It does require root though.
Hello.
I'm interested in a Transformer Prime pad, but don't have one (yet…? ), so, please pardon the question… Anyway…
Is the keyboard from the KeyDock also usable (as a keyboard…), if the display isn't docked in?
Oh, and if the keyboard is used, does Android then also display the (in this case) useless on screen keyboard when text is entered? I hope not…
Lastly, I'm interested in the keyboard layout; how many keys does it have? Does it also have a <ctrl> key? It would be awesome, if somebody could please post a picture of the keyboard (or a link to one…).
I'm asking, because I'd like to figure out, how feasible it might be, to use the thing as a SSH client (using e.g. ConnectBot).
Thx,
Alexander
No, no, lots (could you not look at a picture?), yes. Connectbot works okay, but key combos don't always work. ConnnectBot needs to be updated for full support
Thx for the quick response!
I suppose connecting a Bluetooth keyboard to it would work, wouldn't it?
I know, I'm getting Off Topic, but… How about a USB and/or Bluetooth mouse? On YouTube, I found the video "How to Use a Bluetooth Mouse With the Acer Iconia A500", which shows that BT keyboard & mouse work with 3.1 — on the Acer device. How about Asus?
And, if mouse works, is copy/paste in ConnectBot as easy as it is on a "proper" Linux xterm or as in PuTTY?
Thanks again,
Alexander

I use a bluetooth keyboard with Connectbot, and yes the stupid on-screen keyboard appears, but pressing the Back softkey (or Esc on the keyboard, in my case,) hides it.
Key combos don't work for me, because Ctrl is not passed into the app, I think that's my S3 being dumb, but the Menu key on the keyboard brings up the menu with copy/paste and other options, so that at least is OK.
I think a mouse would technically work, but most apps are designed for touch-only, so I don't know if they would handle a mouse correctly. And it would probably be an app-by-app question.
Hi everyone. I have this bluetooth mouse and tried to use it with my sensation (running stock ics shared by rmk40 here.
But i'm having two issues:
1) When connected to the mouse, my onscreen keyboard never appears. I think my phone recognizes it as both mouse and keyboard (it says connected to bluetooth mouse in bluetooth settings, though).
2) Left and right clicks of the mouse performs the same action (the normal left click action) while the right click is supposed to perform as "back" button.
Any ideas, fixes?
I'm experiencing the same issues with a bluetooth mouse from A4Tech, model BT-310.
The right button does not go back, instead it performs the same action as a normal click.
No on screen keyboard while using the mouse.
Did you find any fixes for this?
I am using ViperSs 1.0.0 ROM.
Nope. Found nothing.. Asked on general android section here . Hope there's someone knows the solution!
It's just so silly that ICS didn't get at least basic mouse & keyboard configuration panel : D
Google's approach to software projects is one of the worst in the entire world
Hey all,
So I just recently bought the keyboard dock (a little late to the game I know ) and I was wondering if I could add some functionality to it.
First am I able to change what apps open with the function keys? Mainly I want to change the browser button so that it opens Chrome Beta instead of the stock browser.
Also can I add keyboard shortcuts in various apps? Specifically is there any way I can add cntrl+T or cntrl+F etc to Chrome Beta?
Finally, when I lock my screen using the lock function key I cannot turn the screen back on without reach up and clicking the button on the tablet. Is there a button on the keyboard that does this? Does it not work in ICS?
That's about all I can think of right now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know the answers on all your questions yet.
You can bring your tablet to life by swiping your finger over the touchpad, then press the home button to unlock.
Don't think there is a function to attach buttons to self-defined apps for now, anybody: correct me when i'm wrong.
See here for the browser button issue. As far as remapping other keys, that's dependent upon each application.
And if the TF101 w/ ICS is anything like the TF201, there should be a setting for dock power saving. If it's enabled, then the tablet won't wake up to key presses on the dock.

Thanks for this! I was wondering how to do this. I just recently gave out trying to figure it out since the key press is one inch away from my screen icon LOL. I have to say, Google needs to replace the stock browser with Chrome in future Android versions. What an improvement!!
Nice bike in your avatar. Here's my track monster after I mangled my old racebike.
