Hi all! i have question and a way to install ubuntu on TF
first of all can the transformer dual boot?
and then the sweet part!
no dev has managed to get ubuntu running natively on TF so heres a way to do it on top of a android OS as "chrooted" heres how to => http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
I HAVE NOT TESTED IT! as my TF is in mail right now (should come on tuesday) but this has worked for many devices so it SHOULD work on TF too!
but then again im not responsible if your transformer transforms to a car that transforms to autobot or something like that
if this helped you remember that there is a thanx button

Yup, this has been linked and mentioned before, just in the dev section (since getting linux distros to run on a TF101 is more of a dev deal).

Is this leaked 3.1 rom of any use to us on the advert vega as it also has a tegra 2 chip?

Google is your friend!
it is my freind but im not the one asking the question so a link would have been good looking at it now thanks
Checking out the K1 and the interface and custom apps look really nice. I would certainly donate to a dev porting that rom to the Iconia.

any system dump?
Not yet, I don't think it releases/ships until the 28th. After that, I'm sure we can get one

I have a Lenovo Tablet K1 in my hands now. Actually, not very impressed with it; still prefer my Acer a500. Anyway, don't know how to do a system dump. Can someone point me in the direction of how to do a system dump, and I will give it a shot.

There now.
With mdj about anything is and will be possible
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium App
Is there any dev working on this rom?
We tried to make a system dump, but had issue with ADB drivers on Win7.
I had to go when manipulating, and since had no news from OaT.

I got on IRC several times, but bad timing as no one responded to my requests for trying to dump the system. I returned the Lenovo K1 last night.
For those in the U.S. who want to get/try one of these for cheap, I got mine using the Staples coupon at Office Depot for $399 + taxes. Even at that price I liked my A500 better for several reasons including the lack of ports and the positioning of the 30 (?) pin connector. In addition, Netflix was not installed on it and could not be downloaded from the Android or Lenovo market. That was the primary reason I wanted to give this tablet a try.
Lenovo Rom
Will the Lenovo rom be ported to the Iconia?
ideapad k1
I have the ideapad k1 and I am willing to test and do whatever to help get development started on it. Just let me know. I unboxed for th3volution.blogspot.com and will be reviewing it this week as well.

How to flash the zip files from OTA downloads with the files in the downloaded PQXU200.2H.0013.W.CN.0729.zip?
What files do you need from the system dump?
these are the OTA files. download.lenovo.com/slates/k1/OTA/
As for the PQXU200.2H.0013.W.CN.0729.zip you will have issues, as that is in Chinese. You will need to switch the files with the latest 829 files from above for it to work.
It's nice to know someone here is trying
Hi Everyone
I've read alot about the gateway a60 being just a rebranded Acer Iconia 500.
I can confirm that the downgrade/root/flashing iconia ROM worked.
I Was wondering if anyone had the original Gateway braded software, just in case I have to return my tablet?
Thanks
This post should be in Q&A Section but here is your answer.. there are several other post do a search in this forum .
Good Luck

I have been looking too but have come to terms with the fact that this tablet is not going anywhere -)
Please do post if you find it as I would be interested in it too.
Cheers and Good Luck
@Erica
Thanks. I thought because I was asking about a specific rom that this would be the right place to post, Thanks for the heads up.
@smishra
Follow the link that Erica posted. Looks like using the acer rom might not void the waranty. Afterall, I ran the acer update on my tablet WITHOUT rooting it.
Afterwards I was able to root it with all the acer methods/tools.
Now that OTA3 ICS is released is anyone working on a root method for it for those who buy new tablets installed with ICS, who lost root in the upgrade or who have their system boards replaced ???

I think someone may be working on it as we speak, but I don't think this is the right place to post such a question. The general section would have been appropriate for the same.
Lets keep the dev section for sole dev purposes only.

They just released the source code for it.
Maybe a savvy programmer can help FIX it!
I have so many problems with slowness even after a fresh format. Really want a nice clean no BS ICS install, why is that so hard to ask.

Yep. See this link.
Seems like Lenovo has managed to make this tablet pretty "secure". Bummrr lol
gah the op had me hopeful! guess we'll just have to wait, something tpt users are very good at by now.
It seems unlikely that Lenovo will give us a Jellybean update so rooting and flashing will be the only hope for most.
