So I was going through and backing up my TF700T and was working on going through the ROMS.
I currently have an old version of CM that I patched using the PDroid auto-patcher, which is no longer supported. Any easy way to patch a ROM for PDroid or similar, or if there is a better alternative?
Bump.
No one?
Have you looked at XPrivacy?
I looked at it but from what I read it looked like it was for stock ROMS, unless all ROMS count as stock variants.

I mean now since the sd card slot is working can someone tell me if anyone has been working on a rom?
Not gonna happen until Google releases the HC source code. There are lots of other threads so if you search you might find more details!
The problem is not so much the working sd card (this will help for Clockwork Recovery), but for the rom the HC source is required and that hasn't been released yet.
Once Clock Work is working, will we be able to install Froyo ROMs?
Umm, I guess you could create a Froyo ROM but the question is why would you want to?

CWM is now working on both models. You can find it in the development section.

Cool now all we have to do is wait for the hc release for some roms.

I can't imagine wanted to downgrade to Froyo from honeycomb. Everytime I start to get disappointed there is no custom ROM I can't think of why I would want one yet. The Xoom is fast, responsive, and other than the SD card, works great. Built-in host mode support would also be nice.

That is what I mean by wait on the source code of honey comb to be released then they can make roms based off it.

What are you looking for in a ROM? I've only had an android phone for a few days (thunderbolt) but most of the ROMs I see don't really apply to the XOOM. The features seem to be things like:
-debloating
-removing or updating UI layers like sense
-porting stuff from other phones
-custom kernels (already avail. on xoom)
There are certainly some things that can be done without HC source
A custom ROM would be nice that included all the following without having to jump through a bunch of hoops:
Rooted
SD Card Support
USB Host Mode

Something similar to Bugless Beast or Cyanogen. The things you mention are usually part of or included in ROM's.

As per title, ive just bought a One S and im looking a for a ROM that is similar to stock but has improved performance features. Ive done some research and I have Trickdroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637102 and Android Sense Stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065357.
Are there any others that I may have missed?
Also as both of these are JB roms, i presume there is no flash? Does this mean if certain sites have youtube or flash content, they will not work? Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks

Not too sure on ROMs as I use CM10. However, you can install Flash manually from the APK provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931671

Thanks for the quick reply, I found this link with the archived versions for android, http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Hopefully the "newer" ones will also work.
The ROM zip-file for trickdroid contains com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk at least. I havnt flashed it so I dunno if it works, but it should...

I'm not sure which to flash as I don't know the difference. One is based off of LK3 and I don't know what that is. The other 2 I do know, CM 10 or 10.1. Could anyone explain or suggest which is good to try? I am currently only rooted and not using any ROMs.
Please inform yourself! The kernel is the communicator between the hardware and software. It is imperative you flash a kernel designed for your device/rom!
If you're on Stock, you'll want one labeled TW (or TouchWiz). Make sure you download the JB (Jelly Bean) version. LK3 is the radio baseband of the phone. You can check in Settings > About Phone then last 3 digits of Baseband Number.
Based on the information you've said, I'd recommend looking into LeanKernel or 747. Hope I've helped. All the info you need is on this site, just gotta read it. GL

Thanks and informing myself is exactly what I'm doing! I don't want to screw anything up. Currently, I only plan on flashing a kernel which is why I wanted a backup of the stock kernel that comes with the phone just in case anything stupid happens. I'll check out leankernel and 747. Thanks!

You got the first step right, and that's asking questions if you don't understand.

Not entirely. When talking about official (or leaked) Service provider (and phone) specific builds of Android, they're each given a build number.
The latest "build" of Jelly Bean 4.1.1 from Verizon for the SGS3 has a build identifier of VRBLK3. That covers everything from the stock kernel, to the stock ROM, to the version of the radio for that particular build (you can apply any radio to any other build without an issue, though).
Since the LK3 build is the latest official from Verizon, that's the base (not baseband - 2 different things) that most of the custom verizon roms are built off of. (latest = greatest, at least sometimes ).
As sweeds points out, there are two main "strains" of Android (for us samsung guys). The first is based off of Samsung's take on Android with their tweaks, features, etc and that's called TouchWiz (TW).
The other is Android built straight from Google, without any of the Samsung proprietary stuff. It's called AOSP (Android Open Source Project). ROMs like CM, ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, are based on AOSP code.
You cannot mix and match AOSP and TW kernels and ROMs, which is why you'll have the choice of downloads that your initial question addressed. Most developers will release a version of what they code for each version of Android. Things will go bork if you flash a TW kernel on an AOSP ROM and vice versa.

Somehow I missed this response so I just read it and wanted to say thanks for the very detailed explanation! I finally ROM'd this phone yesterday and I have Hyperdrive RLS7 running with Galaxy KOR kernel. I haven't had any issues at all yet and the battery life definitely seems better even with the OC'd processor. I also started using SPB Shell 3D since this phone seems powerful enough to run it completely smoothly versus some old phones I had where I had some reservations about that.
Firstly, I'm not sure is it right section since it is not "development" but simply ROM cleanup, so Mods please move this thread to whatever appropriate section if needed.
When I started using this phone I was looking for clean, junkless stock ROM and I couldn't find any (there are variations on custom ROMs that resemble the stock one, but not the actual stock ROMs with junk removed, or at least I haven't found one). Finally I learned how to root my phone and I did it myself, but for long time I couldn't find cure nor reason for the small but annoying problem described here. Later I have found out how to fix it, and now I have pretty good stock ROM with all the "custom" junk apps and outdated apps removed. I am using it myself and I have no problems whatsoever with it.
I thought I can share my recovery backup of this custom stock ROM if anyone else is interested in it?

Which version of the stock ROM are you basing this upon? Miktouch 0.7 is pretty much a cleaned up stock ROM, the last one that was released by HTC/T-Mobile (1.63.531.2). It still has some of the T-Mobile apps but they can easily be deleted.

I didn't knew Miktouch is stock ROM (just modified/cleaned)
Well then it's probably same/similiar and there's no point.

Yeah, that's the same as Miktouch 0.7. There's a few optional patches for Miktouch, as well: Liquid Smooth Rosie, Depaginated App Drawer, No Scrolling Cache, No Recent Apps or Genius Button patches.
Has anyone tweaked CROMi-X to be OpenPDroid compatible? Or is there any chance sbdags might be persuaded to bake it in? I'd prefer to stick with CROMi-X over CM 10.1, but really like the option of controlling individual app permissions.

Without the Asus sources I can't see how this can be done easily as a lot of the framework is not stock google. Need to read more about it but it sounds like a lot of hard work. This bit scares me :
Currently we are not aware of any ROMs which include OpenPDroid: if you are aware of one, please notify us and we'll list it here.

Thanks for at least taking a look. I didn't know how different the framework would be, but thought I'd put it out there.
I know I saw a list on one of the posts that did list some ROMs with it baked in, but the ones I remember being listed were mostly CM or AOSP based and so far typically for Nexus or Samsung devices.
I have run the OpenPDroid auto-patcher on a Slimbean (AOSP) port for my HTC Evo LTE. Everything works great on the phone after flashing the custom zip, and I was hoping to do the same with the tablet without having to go to Cyanogen. Guess I'll have to decide between some of the Asus features I like versus the ability to micromanage permissions.

You could try the auto patcher on cromi-x and let us know
Heh, unfortunately the auto-patcher only works on AOSP, AOKP, CM or PA based ROMs at the moment. It reads the build.prop of whatever ROM you want it to make the zip for and errors out with CROMi and the stock Asus build for the infinity. I wouldn't have troubled you if I hadn't already tried that
To anyone else interested in adding permission management to CROMi-X, Xprivacy appears to work and is pretty easy to install. No need for the autopatcher or special tweaks.
