So I went to black friday at best buy with my wife and we got me the Transformer, but she wont let me have it until xmas...
Now, for the next month, my goal is to convince her somehow that its a good idea to give it to me now! And that aint workin so well..
Anyone know if ICS is coming to the Transformer?
Do yourself a solid, and search
Buuut since it's almost christmas time; yes it will get ICS.
Haha i knew i was going to be told to search! I was just too excited!
I just bricked my skyrocket, so hopefully my wife will let me have my transformer now that i have to wait over a week to get my phone back haha.. We will see...
Whats the best rom for the transformer? In your opinion?
I haven't heard anything official about ICS coming to the TF101, but I wouldn't doubt that since it has most of the features that seem to be required for it. If not, I am sure it would be available to rooted devices

Well, It's really a preference. I'm using Revolver 3.9.5 now, and so far I like. What you can do is load a ROM and play with for a few weeks and then load a different one and see how that one is.
Here are some links to different ROMS:
Revolver

Hope this helps.
If you look at Asus website they state the transformer is upgradable to ICS.

I like roach's work. He makes the Prime ROM and mods.
Hey, maybe by the time your wife gives it to you, you will get to update to ICS

by saying wife u mean mommy ?
j/k
show her good review on it mb its will convince her
Thanks johnny for the links! I've got a folder ready with some roms and everything haha, so once i finally convince my wife (or mommy haha) to let me have it, which will probably be Christmas morning.. ugg... Then i can pop on a rom and get busy with it! I think i'll try the revolver first..
I tried showing her good reviews and videos and everything, and she didnt care.. She's determined to make me wait until Christmas! Oh well, only a week away now! And i still dont have my Skyrocket back from Samsung, so im androidless
In my opinion, Revolver 3.95 is the best ROM for the Transformer (love the easy mods in Revolver Parts), but I have not tried that many... thinking about going to Revolution HD soon, just didn't want to in the first place cause I didn't want to completely wipe my TF, but now I think I am game enough to. Give a few a try, as has already been mentioned the most popular ones are Revolver, Revolution HD and Prime.
Sucks you can't get it until Christmas XD but it is less than a week away now .
tno~~
New to the Transformer this week.
I only had my Transformer for a couple of days till I rooted it and flashed Revolution HD. It is now much smoother and snappier. I am really loving it.
btw. I came from an iPad 2..... I love the fact I can hack this thing to my delight.
TF101 32Gb, Revolution HD 2.2.1
I didnt even trying out the stock rom..lol
i flashed a rom on it within minutes of opening it.. I hate stock anything...

So I ended up returning my prime after 8 months, and ordered a tf700. It's hard to read up so much in the prime forums and now I'm a newb to these neck of the woods. I don't see much developement going on for the tf700 in the forum, maybe cuz it's still new?
I have read its a pretty solid upgrade from the prime considering the I/O issues I've read about. Having said that, what does it come shipped with? Honecomb? I know its rootable, and unlockable. Theres a working clockwork right?
Any better than stock roms to flash at the moment? Or just wait it out until JB? Thanks fellows...time to read some more
It is completely rootable and unlockable. I believe theres CWM and TWRP. Comes with ICS. Might need to do an update. My personal opinion is to wait for JB.
This probably should be in Q&A also.

The Infinity is at its infancy. So custom roms are still in its early stages and bugs will be evident but this tablet is definitely an upgrade to the Prime which I sold for the Infinity. When I had my Prime I could only get two bars from my bedroom while my router was in the living area. Now I have full freakin bars! GPS is just as accurate and locks on to as many as the Extension kit. It has some performances issues but nothing Jelly Bean can remedy. Battery is ok doesn't last as long compared to Prime, but I'm sure an update or two will fix that. Also it will heat up on you because of that higher res screen. Mine got as high as 108.9° when playing games.

I updated from the Prime and must say that the Infinity is a huge upgrade. It may not seem like much but the software is faster and the build quality has improved. Stuff like the improved buttons and the change of location of the headphone jack doesn't seem like much, but is well thought out, especially when it is in the dock. And the WiFi performance is 10 times better than the Prime, which is a huge upgrade. I am very pleased with this device and should have been what the Prime was.

Well, I just got it, powered it on, and boy its friggin laggy. The software on here really sux. Time to root I guess. Won't help much, but whatever
also, should I root now while on 22, or do the .26 ota first?
Same root method for both. .26 fixes alot of the lag.

Thanks. I wouldn't have caught that.
Primes are starting to update (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907804), it would seem the TF201 is once again the Beta tester for the infinity.
...I'll accept the delay I guess...as long as they resolve issues. :fingers-crossed:

Consider this - JB on the TF700 will not be bug free. While we wait, we'll likely see the rest of the internet freaking out about various apps not working optimally. Then we can judge whether we should update, or wait for the subsequent JB patch.

That's a good way to look at it. As an earlier poster said, let the TF201 do our beta testing. ;^)

Heh - I also own a Motorola Droid BIONIC, and the Motorola Droid RAZR owners were our beta testers - which is (one of) the primary reason(s) we still don't have ICS on our phones over 1 year after release date.
I'll just sit back and wait and see. Though, I'm such a chronic beta tester as soon as I see it on my Infinity I'm probably gonna pull the trigger lol

Many of those issues stem from rooted and unlocked bootloaders with modified build.props and deleted bloatware. Also from members that carelessly and frantically try to restore their tablets to stock and end up soft brick/brick their devices. A small report of updates, bricking their Primes. For the most part JB was a success, that includes my tf201. Its not without its bugs but overall much improved from ICS. I am excited for when JB hits our tf700!
Edit:I won't be surprised to see similar issues popping up for when Jelly Bean lands at our tf700 shores.

Yeah I only got my Infinity a couple of weeks ago and since I figured JB was due to arrive soon, I would wait to for the JB roms to get stable before messing with the tablet (also need to make sure my Infinity is a good one).
If JB shows up as promised next week then it will probably be a month or two and I'll see what roms are there that are best for me and I'll root and flash then. A stable experience is more important to me than being first on a rom.
sup people names thizzle, I've been part of these forums for awhile now but also been away for quite some time, the reason im here is to get some info in this device I seen the specs and seen it my self, but I need to know are you guys happy with this tablet??

So happy with it, but it's because I unlocked and am running CleanROM v2.4 and clemsyn's latest kernel and my Infinity is a ramjet...

Yes. If your not an XDA champ like us all, probably no.
The community did there magic once again they bailed asus out. ASUS should be kissing the community ass.

Good point. There quality control is suspect. My tablet is rock solid. No flexing, no noises when trying to flex. Excellent materials. I do feel bad for some that have a bad experience. I'm thinking some bootleg builds made it out. Buy your tab from a respectable place like best buy!

I'm very happy with mine even though it's still locked and I'm not running CleanRom.
2.4 CleanROM here, no Clemsyn yet (trying 2.4 out for bit first to get some feel for the improvements in fluidity -- the Master himself asked for this ) -- great tablet. Stock is less than impressive, but with some TLC, the 700 is a fiery monster.
I'm very happy with this tablet. With its customized doc it is better than all the other Android tablets out there IMHO.
Asus has released several OTAs, showing they are continually involved in keeping this table up to date.
Add me to the list of happy users. After unlocking, flashing cm10, very satisfied with this!

Bought mine end of september and got ota to ics immediately and 1 week later ota to jb.
Have no build problems ( very well build) and it was fast and fluid on stock and locked.
Unlocked and rooted after 5 weeks and flashed cleanrom.
Well from the first day I said it is the best device I bought since a long time and for me as business user it's replacing my laptop 90% of the time easily.
The dock and screen are excellent and it is the best choice I made in comparison to other tablets.
No Icrap because it is MY tablet and compared with other tablets it is without competition.
What you want more: Good build quality, very fast and fluid and smooth, excellent dock and screen, very good battery life when on travel (min 14 hrs).
Never thought it was that good :good::good:
It could be better. I'm rooted and debloated but I'm not going to ROM it. I don't want to go down that same path as I did with my phone - too many problems, sleepless nights, headaches, and compromises. I'm done being a nerd.

Hey! Hey!
Out of the box I was happy, I received a good build quality...no squeaky screen, the tab and dock where flawless. (lucky me ).
I was later made much happier by unlocking, rooting, custom recovery and custom ROM......My flavour of choice was CleanROM. Still on 2.3 with Clemsysn's OC and bit depth mods. Also using the Data2SD (enhanced) mod. All of this took a good tablet experience and made it a LOT better.
Now if we could get Samsung's Quality Control to teach Asus how to build a device, and get Asus to teach Samsung how to develop for frequent updates. Match made in heaven. (I hope BOTH Sammysong and Assus are reading this).
CHEERS!

Hi,
I have been playing with different roms for years and I am still incredibly unhappy with my TF700T due to performance problems. I knew when I bought it that it had a scant amount of memory for a multicore processor and I believe that is the main problem with the tablet.
I'm getting ready to throw it to the curb, but thought I would post this as one last effort. Is anybody truly happy with it and does it consistently perform well? If so, what are you running? Any references to emulate the setup would be appreciated.
Thanks,
srt42

Have you tried out all of the latest custom ROMs like Zombi or Katkiss? Those are the most preferable ROMs that users like....
Have you tested out Cromi-X Resurrected? Please give all of them a try before throwing it away...:laugh:
Yes, I have tried all but katkiss. That will be my last attempt before throwing this POS to the curb.

Did you update the latest patch?
I have a new performance patch and will find sometime to upload it. If you could hold off it a little bit longer, you can test it out to see if it is any better than the current setup.
What are the current issues that you have? I thought that it is running very reasonable speed with the Resurrected.....
Cheers,

Thanks for responding LMK. When I get home, I'll verify which ROM I'm currently running and give you an update. I was not aware of the patch. The symptom is the usual intermittent sluggishness.
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
It won't matter which rom you choose if you are installing to internal. The issue is with the read & write speeds of the internal memory. Install to a good quality high speed SD card & you'll see a huge difference.

Hey LMK, it still has the ususal TF700 lag. I am travelling right now and whenever I connect to a new wifi and apps pull updates in the background it is practically unuseable. You have to give it 5 minutes to catch up, then it works fine. The same is true if you disconnect wifi during sleep and wake it up - just not as bad if you connet to the same wifi...
I'll flash Katkiss again and give that another whirl, cannot remember if it also had the "wait, wait, I need to pull some data" syndrom...

Well, I must say, so far I am very happy with the Katkiss MM Rom. Very snappy. It is managing memory very well. I have been running it for close to a week and so far, knock on wood, I have seen no signs of sluggishness. I'll try to update again in a few weeks.

I own both a TF700 and a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. This is hardly a fair comparison, since the Samsung has 3g of memory rather than the Asus' 1g and faster processor. I still -- perhaps due to my love of small laptops -- think the Asus TF700's outer design and snap-on keyboard are stellar. But alas... the innards are sad, moreso as the tablet ages. I still use mine occasionally, but that Samsung is my go-to Android (and it is getting nearer its end of life cycle). Asus came out with the TF701, of course, and ruined (and I do mean *ruined*) the keyboard design. Massive ineptitude that sent me away from them forever; all they had to do was soup up the TF700s innards and leave the rest alone. Ah, well. If I was buying now... it would be between the Samsung Note Pro 12.2, 10.1 (2014), and Pixel.... though the latter's lack of a micro-sd slot is ridiculous when looking at how well Samsung's tablets handled it. Final note... the Samsung Tabs don't have anything past Lollipop stock... and it isn't the final Lollipop version. But there are (as here) an increasing number of custom Marshmallow versions. Also... Samsung uses bluetooth keyboards but there are some very inexpensive ones (including used Samsung ones and my favorite, the Logitech folder keyboard). Hope this was useful...
Thanks for the feedback. This will be my last Asus tablet. I'll more than likely go with Samsung next time, as you have done. After several weeks, I'm happy again with this tablet. For those looking for a solution to the performance problems, this is the best solution I have found. The TF700T lives on!!
