I had this function on SuperOSR rom and now on ics roms I miss it!
The next week is going to be quite dirty for me. As I'm going to ride my ATV a lot and this thing protected my phone from getting dirty.
I searched the market and the forum, but i didn't find anything.
Is it something simple to do or is it more complicated like kernel related stuff?
Hello everyone,
I just got my TF300T last night and it is a great tablet. Before I do anything (upgrade to Jellybean, etc) I am wondering why it seems there isn't much development for the tablet. I have had a couple android tablets and phones, and have rooted all of them for custom ROMs and such, but it almost seems like that's not really done a whole lot here. I just read one thread where the stock ROM was preferred by a good deal over any other ROM. Is there any reason for this? Any particular reasons I should still root, other than installing custom ROMs and kernels?
Thanks for your input.

Rooting is not required to install a rom, most non stock roms are rooted when you install ( they require you to unlock and void warranty ). If you wish to stay stock and don't see a need for root then don't do it.
If I could begin again I would stay on ICS for a time longer. I think good things for this unit are around the next corner.
Devs are working hard to make this happen. The JB bootloader has caused problems with most roms we are accustomed to. Once on JB you can't go back to ICS ( at this time ).
Good Luck!
Thank you for the response. How would I load TWRP onto the tablet then? I know people are suggesting not to unlock the tablet's bootloader unless I have to, so I'd prefer not to.
I figure if I go to JB, I'd load something like CleanROM as people seem to be quite happy with it.
Any additional information is greatly appreciated.
You need to unlock your tablet if u want to install a Rom and recovery
Oh ok. Gotcha. So then I think I know which guide I have to use. Thank you for your help and clarification.
OK, unlocked and such. Loaded CleanROM. Running well so far, but now I have to research ROMs to see which reigns supreme.
Cleanrom is the best for with unt's kernel

Since you are now on the JB bootloader here is a thread to watch as there will be a new rom coming, don't hold your breath. The reason for the breath statement is this is a big undertaking. It will allow numerous other roms you don't now see in the dev section. Everything now available on JB is based on the stock kernel, this should overcome that limitation.
AOSP, AOKP, Paranoid Android, and so on

stock optimized for combination with keyboard dock

For me personally, I prefer using a stock-based ROM over the AOSP based ROM for day to day use. The reason is really simple, and that is the keyboard dock works much better on the stock based ROM. In CM10, for example, the lock/unlock button on the keyboard doesn't work. Also, closing the tablet and the keyboard does not result in the screen turning off automatically (you have to manually press the power button whenever you want to close the tab-dock). If you forget to do this, the battery takes a hit. As well, the mouse cursor in AOSP ROM is not exactly a "cursor", more like a giant circle (it's the default touch indicator in android). I use the keyboard dock a lot for drafting my college assignments, so stock-based Roms are perfect for me.

I've noticed the same thing with the closing the tab-dock issue. When I turn off my screen and close it, the screen turns back on right before the tab touches the dock to close, so I have to turn it off again right before closing it to prevent random stuff from opening up/battery draining.
Other than that, I've had great fun playing with the various ROMs. I ran CM9 for the longest time but I switched recently to the Blackbean ROM. Its based on CM9 so it has all the features I like, but its all black/inverted so its better for battery and a lot easier to read in bed at night.
CleanROM is good, so is HydroROM, but I've found that I really enjoy the speed and efficiency of some of these other custom ROMS.
So I bought the note 10.1 (gt n8020). I was so excited to root it and I immediately did so once I found instructions. Was very simple. Ive been rooting and flashing roms and kernels for years now. Anyway...to my disappointment, I discovered that there are no custom roms for the n8020. There are roms for all other versions...even the wifi only ones. Why not this one? Is anyone working on something? It's a great device. This specific verzion of the n8020 is dipfferent than the n8020 you look up. It has 4g and has ability to make phone calls and sms.
Im worried that if I want o customize this tablet beyond just a new launcher that I will have to learn how to cook roms on my own. Im more of a graphic artist than a programmer though. I think theming would be something im much better at. Pleeeeeeaaaaase someone port some roms for this device. Hascheck....android revolution...phoenix....someone? Lol :silly:

Did you ever get this sorted? Any suggestions on what firmware to use? I tried a bunch last night, but they were all for 8000, 8005, 8013 etc and none of them will boot properly.
TIA.
Edit: Update.
Turns out my tablet was faulty. I returned it, and the new one works fine with the released firmware for the 8020.
possible custom roms for 8020?
rootgalaxynote . com
has some custom ROMs
Hello,
I've been going back and fourth to the forums and it seems like it's a ghost town in there.
Has everyone just packed up and left this device?
Has Verizon really locked it's m8 down that hard?
I would like more ROMs to flash even if it's a legit port, would be nice to have something new...
Our device isn't dead yet, heck I think the m7 still gets ROMs to this day....
Really...... Wake up. Not sure what your looking for. I certainly wouldn't call it dead. Are you referring to sense ROMs?
Running MM6.01
Rooted and TWRP recovery installed.
1) I really miss being able to screw around with various ROMs. Does anyone know of stable custom ROMS out there? My fav is PAC but can't check right now 'cause their servers are down (indefinitely?). Not many developers out there for this niche type phone, are there? Was hoping other Edge type phones might be able to be ported over, but apparently not.
2) Why are there so many posts on various forums about going back to Lollipop? Don't you find about as many bugs/glitches/random *****es on 5.x as you do 6.x ? Maybe different flavors, but still a variety of issues.
