Hoopy

@ jmparagon

If you want something compatible with CM, best is to ask someone who has it and installed CM on it or just check the some of the released CM ROMs:

I previously asked the question on which phone, and the Nexus phone may be a safer bet.

Oooookey,

I finally figured out what was wrong and confirmed my n00bushnessism...

For some like myself, a horizontal volume key does not have an up and down! People who have not used the Tablet may mistaken left for Up and right for down :P
It may make it easier for some if the horizontal up vs down key details (in a tablet) are clarified in the Wiki for newbies like myself.

A screen-shot or an image of the screen of "Download Mode" and "Recovery Mode" will also help. Many people do not flash their devices that frequently. I myself do that once like every 2 yrs, and the experience is frequently unpleasant to the point that my subconscious buries it within like a wk.

From what I have read, the "adb push" requires the download of the "Android SDK" which is a ~ 400 MB download. Many do not have this on their disk and will need to download it along with the other files mentioned in the beginning of the Wiki. I copied the files to the External SD card and installed them from there.

After I was up and running, I installed LBE Privacy Guard (I have it on my phone on CM 7.2) and after granting it root access, LBE Privacy Guard caused a repeated loop where Tablet goes into screen lock every 5 sec. The tablet restarts after ~ 10 loops. On restart, the LBE Guard causes the same loop again. It seems incompatible with CM 10.1 or even Jelly Bean from some of the comments.

At that time I noticed that M3 was out sooo I did the "wipe data/factory reset" and CM installation process again using the M3 file :D

I installed Droid Wall instead of LBE Privacy Guard and it seems to work. I will use it until I find a better solution may be something like PDroid Privacy Protection.

Now working like a charm, and I don't have to live with the pesky default weather and email apps :)

As for the phone / headphones, I have not tried it. I cannot comment on the post by jmparagon. It seems too big for a phone :D  jk

Thank you again for making this alternative OS/ROM available.

While searching for a solution, I came over this:

    5. Your device is rooted

I presume that their method is different, but the CM Wiki mentions "Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary."!

An XDA thread also has different info.

Many applications I use require root. If I use the method recommended in the CM Wiki, then I will not have root. right?
i.e. I will still have to root the system after using the CM Wiki method!
Thnx

The link in the Wiki seems now to point to "Heimdall-1.4RC2-Win32-Cmdline.zip". instead of the previous version "heimdall_v1.4rc1_win.zip"

But I still get the same error with the RC2:

Any suggestions?

Thnx

"heimdall_v1.4rc1_win" crashed.

There were no "Heimdall Suite 1.4RC2" mentioned in the Wiki. The link is for RC1.

Any suggestions?

Thnx
