I think we already have a thread about installing Ubuntu...same idea, no one has a real working thing yet.

Ok thx for the answer. Mh unfortunately I must wait >.<

It would be awesome, but seems like it would be too much of a hassle with our cpu's being different than that of a normal pc.

It's already installed. Android is based on it.
OK, I know, you mean a traditional "desktop" Linux distribution like Ubuntu.

The CPU is not the problem - Linux and many applications have been ported to many different architectures for 20 years. The device drivers are the biggest issue because they are closed source. And maybe some problems related to partitioning and the bootloader.

I mean the desktop linux. Asus must offer the drive and coded.

Do you mean I must only wait for a dev who port it?

Pretty much.
From what I gather there already is a working Ubuntu port for the TF300 but since the hardware is different, a TF700 port may still take a while.
People seem confident of it being possible though... Can't wait!

Kernel or hardware issue? It will work with BT keyboard and mouse
But we already have ubuntu on android, only difference is because this will be official way to install it with support from canonical.
I never tried hdmi with ubuntu on my LG, does kernel support loop device support?

No it doesn't support loop device, I have tried and didn't work. So I guess we have one more thing to work with, try to include it in the kernel.
Nahh, Ubuntu we have running on android today is way different than that, this new one will be fully integrated with the phones Android software. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Btw what is the dock function?

Just a dock for connecting phone with keyboard and/or monitor/TV.

It is not necessary, but it looks nice, more professional for some managers
Does anyone with kernel experience want to chime in. I'd like to compile my own kernel then add usb loop support.

Oh well that seems a lot more useful, porting to same device sounded pretty weird.
Ok, on the OP for the SGS3 you state that the ARM rev needs to be the same, which for all 4 tabs, it is (ARMv7-A). Having said that, all the processors are different than that on the 101. Would this not cause issues?
At this point I am curious because I would certainly love to have a stock JB rom to my 101 (I simply cannot get used to the idea of AOSP on my devices.... plus most apps simply quit (not FC but actually quit) on most JB roms I've tried )
Also, I would love to write about this on the Portal, but I will need for you to make a bit of a more comprehensive OP (and some d/l links would be nice too )

By armv7 or armv6 I'd it boot loops just get a log cat and replace what's broken
And no need to put on portal, my sgs3 one was there once already

[Q] Should I flash my tablet

Hello everybody,
I'm actually runing 4.1.1 on my tablet and I would like to update it to a fresh new customized rom (such as Hydro 7)! As I bought my tablet directly from the store 5 months ago, I'm quite hesitating... What do you suggest me!
Do it!
+1 do it!
You wont be disappointed. Just make sure you do your homework well and you'll be fine :good:
And dont forget to ask questions when you hesitate. Better safe than sorry.
The TF300T is a very friendly and helpful community
Get-R-Done! It's well worth it.
Sent from my LG-LG855 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
I say yes.
Make sure you read up on what you need to do prior. Plus contingencies on or about recovery methods. The worst you can do, is have no options for recovery.
Clearly yes. I recommend btw BAKED Rom because of it's customization (link in my sig)
everything important (should be step by step) should be written here btw
I am mainly scary about loosing my warranty...I mean if I have a problem in the future, Asus will not repair my tablet :/

Then don't do it and suffer poor performance instead.
Life is all about taking calculated risks. Which is more important to you?

You are right!
Before Unlocking my device, I installed the SDK manager (to check if I had all the needed files/programs), but I can't see the settings described in the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041627

Be aware that you might need to register your tablet on the Asus website before the unlock APK will do it's thing. (might take a couple of days after registering before unlock goes through)

I dont know about installing developer tools however i will tell you how much better the tablet runs afterinstalling cleanrom 3.3 with unters overclocked kernel. Superfast, no more pop ups saying something fails to respond. I did still experience slight performance issues when downloading a movie torrent but not as bad like before. When i downloaded on the stock asus tf300t the tablet became a paper weight. I am currently trying data2sd with a sandisk micro class 10 on cleanrom but having issues. I cant seem to get it working right. Going to keep trying
There thousands of posts related to flash/root and none of them are accurate...Can')t understand ppl always referring to them now
This thread really does tempt me to install a custom ROM on my tablet but i have around 3 months left of my warranty so don't know if it's worth the risk. Furthermore, i'm scared of being bricked

WIndows RT on all arm devices

Since Microsoft released the recover IMG for RT http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40810 ad the LEAKED RTM
Maybe there is a way to install this in any arm tablet

What the difference between this image file and the Windows RT image file that Windows RT user create with recovery image backup? I think it the same.
Yes, it was always possible to install RT on any ARM tablet with a modern CPU and enough RAM. You'll only need to write UEFI and needed drivers yourself, that's all.
But as there is only one person in the world who've managed to write UEFI from zero for an unsupported device (Cotulla for HD2) - don't expect that RT would ever appear for your device.
You gave a man so much hope, and then took it all away.

Yes if he makes the UEFI opensource the whole community could help developing it.

Not really, UEFI is specific to each individual device chipset so his HD2 UEFI wont work on anything but an HD2.
Maybe it can be made to work on the NVIDIA Tegra NOTE 7 reference design since it is Tegra 4. NVIDIA tends to make unlocking the bootloader very easy, like with SHIELD.
So no hopes of this working on Samsung ARM Chromebook?

RT officially doesnt support the enoxys chipset at all. Snapdragon and tegra only, was meant to support OMAP at one point but TI pulled out.

ROM [4.4.x] CyanFox Rom (just sharing)

I have nothing to do with development of this Rom. For some reason it's not posted here.
I used it with my TF300T. I just got my TF700T, and there is a CyanFox build specific version for our tablet.
Here is the link to the Download page (Just scroll down to TF700T for our buid, and _gapps for the CyanFox related gapps install file):
http://cyanfox-rom.com/downloads/
Here's the homepage (obviously)
http://cyanfox-rom.com/
Just thought I'd share, it's a pretty sweet Rom and deserves to be passed along.
Hopefully it's appreciated.
Take it easy all.

Pretty alright man. It's what I ran as my main Rom on my tf300t.
I did a little research cyan fox is based on cynogen mod, but has some performance tweaks, as well as paranoid android holo notifications and a few other features from pa.

require mets should be the same as for cm11, cyan fox is just a derivative of cm, like cmb.

The new twrp on sdbags threads works with kitkat. I think both ROMs need kernels that support rom2sd.

I flashed the latest and it boots but setup wizard closes repeatedly. Are Gapps necessary? I usually test then flash Gapps
