Ok, as I have been guilty of using the Development thread for asking a user type question I thought I might kick this thread off as a "How to do simple tasks in Jellybean EOS#4"
Link to Rom and Development thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35828448&postcount=1
Its more so that I can ask questions and get them answered here so that others can also learn the basic's as it is really packed full of lots of little goodies that we have had to use other apps to do..
As I get time I will try to add screen shoots of some of the basic operations so that it is easier and keeps the development thread clean for Tim and others to carry on the work to get this rom settled.
Honestly the EOS jellybean series of Roms are great for daily use and as I was on EOS#3 for a few months, I have no hesitation in suggesting "Take the leap".
All credits go to the developers and the hours they have spent pulling this fork together.
And in case you forget how to install here it is from the horses mouth..
How to install:
Going to EOS4.2.1 from a rom < 4.2:
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset
format /system
Flash the rom
Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
Updating from EOS 4.2.1 #XX to #YY:
You can skip the full wipe step

The following is a cut and paste from Frederuco's thread over at Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to Thank him for his work and all credits for the time spent on this already..
Is Adobe Flash supported on this ROM?
Yes and no - Adobe has dropped flash support for Android. The latest versions were for 4.0 in August 2012.
HOWEVER - You can still sideload flash. First, go to Settings - Security - Unknown Sources. Tick the box. Next, go to the Adobe Archives and download the latest version for Android 4.0. After it downloads tap on it to install it.
Flash works well in the stock Browser, Firefox, Firefox Beta and Boat Browser. Dolphin has disabled flash support for JellyBean last time I checked.
My battery is draining fast
Check your WiFi sleep settings. Settings - WiFi - Tap the button in the top right, Advanced, WiFi on during sleep - Never. Keep in mind, this is forced. No need for AutoAirplane Mode, this ROM forces the WiFi off when the tablet is sleeping.
There is also a setting for how long after you put the tablet to sleep that WiFi stays on. EOS Control Center, go to the Systems settings. Change the SCREEN OFF WIFI IDLE DELAY.
How do I get rid of the circle touchpad and get a real pointer?
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Touchpad Mode. Change from Gestures (CIRCLE) to Trackpad (Arrow)
My Volume is lower than it was on stock
Most custom ROMs for JellyBean have had some volume issues. There is an app for that! It is made by none other than TimDuru.
It is the K.A.T Toolbox. K.A.T - V1.2.4 [ICS][JB4.1-4.2.1] App | Audio enhancer | Misc fixes | Scanner Filters.
Read more about what it is and how to use it in the development
Grab the latest and install it. Once installed, open it. Grant root permissions. Tap the Audio Section. Tap the Cascade Digital + Analog Levels and Link Volumes to Volume Keys. This will give you about as much volume as you can get out of your tablet. Volume levels go from 0 to 63.
The dock is using a US layout and I do not have a US dock. How do I change it?
You probably already tried changing the AOSP keyboard in the Language and input with no luck. Well, it is not there. It is buried in the EOS Control Center.
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Tap Dock Keyboard Layout. Choose the proper layout and then you will need to reboot for the settings to take effect.
I have the dock, is there a way I can hide the NavBar but keep the notification bar at the top?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center. Scroll down and tick the HIDE NOW under the Navigation Bar section. If you want it hidden on boot, you can also tick the box for it.
Even if you DON'T have the dock, you can install the app LMT and set up thumb controls to swipe in from the left or right to use.
Can I hide the system bars to get a true FULL SCREEN experience?
Yes, just hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds. You will see the POWER MENU. Tap the SYSTEMBARS MODE to toggle them off and on.
The Nav Bar takes up as much room as the old Statusbar, plus I lose the top notification bar. Anything I can do?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center and enable the Low Profile Mode. It makes the bottom bar shorter.
How to Turn off Google search bar.
Question: how do I kill Google search bar sitting on the top of all the screens?

Move "jump to Apps button"
And I will go one more..
The little round button with dots that take you to the apps and widgets..
On Apex I can move this around the dock bar, it seems in the stock JB launcher its locked in the middle..
Any trick to move it like Apex launcher?
I would prefer to have it to the right hand corner.

Thanks Frederuco,
And thats a great thread you have got going over there @Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to add this one from you as well on that question..
How do I get rid of the darn APP DRAWER icon that is bottom dead center?
The stock launcher has a fixed icon that you cannot get rid of for the app drawer. You will need to check out a custom launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or another one. I like the look of Apex myself with the App Drawer icon in the top right. Custom Launchers are the way to go IMO, so much more you can do with them compared to the stock ICS/JB launchers.
Do we really need that status bar on top?
Is there a way to get JB 4.2 with the 4.1 layout (no status bar on top, navigation/status bar on the bottom)? I've searched high a low on the interwebs and it looks like this is a no go... My biggest gripe is that the status and navigation bars are not controlled by the launcher, so not even an alternative launcher will do that trick.

There is no way to change to a Tablet UI with Android 4.2
It seems it is all Phablet UI with pull down menus.
The older style Tablet UI with the system bar at the bottom is gone.
Agreed, 4.2 is all Phablet.
How to to use different languages on the dock

I tried to change the layout to Greek but nothing happens. I prefer the stock keyboard so i do not want to use an aftermarket one. Is it possible to be added in the rom so to select it in the system settings menu? I use version 150 with kernel 92 . I am sure that the greek language was included in ICS and i was using it with success. Can that be somehow imported in this rom? When i select greek layout from eos settings after reboot nothing is selected. Is that behavior normal?
edit : as i saw when i remove all languages from asussec keyboard it writes Greek but it can not change the language in English when i desire to do so. So it is missing the ability to have selected both Greek and English language because simple Greek tab is missing. Can that be added?

Best way of tuning the screen off without a power button is using GMD gesture control center, turning 5 fingers anti clock wise shuts the screen off.
Hello,
Does anyone have suggestions for what they feel is the best settings to have a good note taking experience on the note 10.1?
Much appreciation!
What I do with LectureNotes is:
- enable GMD Gesture Control, Hide Status bar command
- Use spen button button for eraser
- pen toolbox enabled for easy color change
These 3 for me are the essentials
Thank you! Especially the eraser part. Anymore suggestions are very welcome.

Where is the gmd gesture control?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
@gophy: I guess you have enabled `use stylus (hardware detection)´, haven't you? Most users enable `allow two fingers scrolling´, `allow two fingers zooming´, and `allow double-click zooming´ (some also `allow one finger scrolling´) in the app's input settings. If you observe jagged writing, try to enable the pressure filter with a threshold of 5% or. The other options are mainly a matter of taste.
Does anyone have a settings recommendation for Ruled Pattern and font size?
I keep fiddling with both and at some point down the page(s) my typed text goes below the ruled lines
Thanks in advance!
@Chaz9999: There is no general answer to your question, as the distance between baselines in the text layer is not fixed but can vary due to smaller/larger font size, subscript and superscript, etc.

maybe you should also increse the threshold value in the input filter settings.

My spen button isn't working, when click it, nothing happens. Do I have to enable it somehow?
@Calculating Infinity: You need to enable `use stylus button´ in the app's input setting, the function can be assigned in the `stylus button setup´ in the app's handling settings.
Note that Samsung devices do not deliver touch events with stylus button pressed, the system assigns own functionality to that. You need to enable `detect stylus button in hover mode´ in the stylus button setup in the app's handling settings; furthermore, you need to press and release(!) the stylus button close to the display surface but before actually touching the display.
You can now use your finger as erasing tool. Very useful. Just disable one-finger scrolling and enable one-finger erase.
I still feel like I don't have enough writing room. Is there anyway to make it switch to a new page automatically?

Then you can configure your button. Therefore click

Hi Guys, I'm a long time android user, but this is my first pure AOSP, I've been on various CM roms for quite a while.
I was pretty surprised to see that I can't find a custom quick settings option (ie change how the quick settings buttons work)....
- Why would you ever have bluetooth and wifi tiles launch settings menus, rather than just toggle bluetooth / wifi on/off - really silly default option..
- would love to be able to add a torch, screen timeout & screen rotation lock tiles...
My question, is there any way to get this sort of functionality without going to a custom rom - still using the quick tiles? or is it just a matter of me not being so impatient and waiting for CM or similar to be released..
Love the idea of being able to get OTA updates.. and really to be honest, the only thing I am really missing from CM is the ability to modify the quick tiles..

Awesome, thanks, at least makes bluetooth and wifi toggles more practical..
So I take it that adding extra tiles (ie say screen rotation for example) , is not an option in AOSP?

Not that I remember, it's an added feature to ROMs.
It's good to know I am not the only one feeling this one.
I was a bit shocked to see how little options there are for customization in the stock rom.

If you want rotation lock in quick settings you have to modify SystemUI.apk and framework2.jar. If you were using stock you'd have to modify those, but using AOSP means you can just change a few lines of code and recompile.
If you want to know the exact parts to modify let me know.

Cataclysm Rom has customizable quick settings
Root and Xposed Framework
I had the same frustration as you. Root your Nexus, Download Xposed framework the Gravity Box for KitKat module and you can add toggles and change other stuff if you want. Its perfect for customizing your stock os.
Id recommend make a nandroid backup and save it. I dont know if it effects your phone when you get an OTA update. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL THIS I love my Nexus now
My phone has both capacitive buttons and a navigation bar. (You can choose between the two using a system setting.) I would like to set up an automatic way to have the buttons turned off (and nav bar enabled) when the phone is held upside down (screen rotated 180°). Then, have the nav bar disabled and buttons turned back on whenever the phone is rotated to any other angle (0°, 90°, 270°).
I'm thinking the app, "Tasker" would be perfect for this, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to set it up. I would be open to other possible ways of achieving the same result.
My device is a "OnePlus One" running Cyanogenmod 11 (so, rooted Kit Kat).
Bumping for great justice
Any luck yet??

Hey!! Any luck yet?? Are you able to figure out how it can be done?? Good thought though.. I am also searching for the same..:good:
There is a GravityBox intent that you can call in Tasker to enable the navbar, but I can't remember what it is for the life of me. The developer, C3C076, could tell you what it is though,

I know there's a way to put the device always in "Immersive Mode", that way you can hide the Navigation Bar:
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
But every time I swipe from the bottom to any place in the screen, the NavBar appears again (thats really frustrating >_<).
I use LMT Launched (pie), so... I don't need the NavBar to be there.
Is there a real way to truly disable the Navigation Bar???
On some roms, there's a way to do it from inside options (like in Pure Nexus rom for example), I'm currently using RenovateICE, but that option is not implemented yet.
Also, the old trick to disable the NavBar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) does not work on Android 7+.
Thank you for your time!!! =D
This is something I'd love to see a workaround for. I love the immersive mode feeling but I can't stand that you can't disable the nav bar completely. It hinders your ability to use swipe gestures whenever it comes back on screen and really it just defeats the purpose so I stopped using it for now.
I'll wait for a way to disable the nav bar completely on the stock ROM before I go back to "immersive mode" (if anything of the like ever comes along that is).

Hi,
I was facing the same thing, and decided to take the plunge and root my phone, just for this since I have an exynos version.
From then you can edit the prop build file and remove the navbar permanently.
I use Swipe Gesture (app) to navigate around the phone with every apps full screen, it is a game changer. You can even customise actions (long press launching split screen, ect...)

What line did you added to build.prop???
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 ????
Lilolilo27, if you could elaborate on which parameter(s) you had to change in the build prop I would be forever thankful! I didn't think there would be an easy fix for this so soon!
Hi,
Yes just add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 line to the end of the build prop file with a root explorer and reboot.
Just for precaution, make a backup of the prop file before hand AND set up Swipe Gesture or any other navigation app BEFORE making the change (or your keys will be gone and you wont be able to navigate around your phone)
Thanks lilolilo27. I'll have to give this a go when I have a few minutes and see how I come up. Thanks for the heads up btw.
