[Q] updating to 3.2, which ROM should I choose? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right, I currently am running prime v1.2. I installed it because I have a chinese version and they come with no google stuff. Now I also have the keyboard dock (which I heard had some issues).
Taking into consideration I have a keyboard dock that probably needs a firmware update, and that I run PRIME! v1.2 on the tab at this time, what would you recommend I do for ROM flash and would that also fix any issues there are with the dock?
PS How do I check teh firmware version of the dock itself?
Thanks!

i'm currently running the newest prime + newest netformer, i recommend it. it also comes with the dock update. there's only 1 dock firmware update, and since you're using prime 1.2, you probably already have it
to check: settings -> about tablet

So what does netformer do?

Reboot and Recovery shutdown options?

I can't remember where I got it from before, but someone created a flashable zip that would add Reboot and Recovery options. It removed the Shutdown option. That zip doesn't work with the new 3.2 kernel, at least for me. It just bootloops then I have to reflash the ROM to get things to work again. Has there been one created for the 3.2 ROMs?
EEE Pad Transformer sent this
It was Roach, creator of the prime rom. Haven't seen anything for 3.2 as far as a stand alone zip file.
I know he has out built into his prime 1.5 rom
Would be great if there's one for 3.2 out soon.
I will have these available when 1.7 final comes out.

I have used this mod in 3.1 but they only work with your ROM. Is there a guide on how to get it to work on a rooted stock ROM? Thanks!

Roach, now that prime 1.7 is out, I tried your reboot/recovery zips on the Revolver 2.0 rom and the TF reboots when Long press the power button. Does this not work for other roms? Can you make it so that it works with other roms?

Bump.
I haven't used Prime in a while, so I'm not sure if it used a style similar to the one in Gnufabio's or more like the stock one with more buttons.

[Q] New member with TF700T

Hi all Just joinned up and also just got myself a Asus infinity TF700T
So far I have charged it done firmware update and rooted it.
I would like to know what is the best / stable rom out at moment. Also overclocking options.
Thanks
A good stock option is CleanROM 2.3,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919851
however if you're looking for an AOSP rom I'd go with the CM10 Nightlies
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957660
There are overclocking options for both courtesy of Clemsyn's overclocked kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950039
Personally I'm on CM10 and I'm waiting for a modified Clemsyn kernel since I'm also using the Data2SD mod.
Yeh was thinking about CM10. I had CM on my acer a500 and have it on my cellphone and find it nice and easy to use.

EDIT. Just downloaded Root Checker and its now saying this device does not have proper root access. before i did firmware update it was rooted. Superuser is still installed.
aahhhh crap looks like i should have used Root OTA Keeper before updating.

Are you unlocked? You need to unlock, then you could fastboot flash either TWRP or CWM recovery. I like TWRP and I'm on CleanROMv2.3 and Clemsyn's OC kernel v22. Performance is fantastic and everything works. The CM ROMs all have something not working 100% yet, from what I can see, but it's really whatever you're more comfortable with. CleanROM is pre-rooted so all you would have to do is get your custom recovery. Please DO NOT USE Rom Manager to install CWM recovery (I would avoid it altogether). Several experienced users have hard bricked (no coming back) their devices that way.
Yeh got it sorted and not unlocked.
Removed SD card and put just the ICS firmware off asus page on it. Tablet is on and jelly bean running I put SD card in and couple of seconds later a popup comes up to do a update / downgrade. So I run it and restarts and now running ICS again. Seen the firmware update popup so did not click it. Then install Root OTA Keeper then update to JB. Now have rooted JB with superuser and checked with root checker.
As long as you are locked you are already on the best rom available to you.
yeh not to worried about updating to custom ROM. just going to install a launcher and cleaning out some of the stock apps.
What launcher would you recommend?
GO Launcher HD for Pad or GO Launcher EX or other?

I think the best is Go Launcher HD for Pad, other may favorate Nova, Apex etc... and Go Launcer EX is a full blown mature launcher for Phone only. I believe soon Go Launcher HD will have the same features as Go Launcher EX.(this one is the best with thousand of plugin and themes).
i would stay @ stock launcher it s the most reliable one or trebuchet launcher

Have gone and done what you posted.

browser not responding!!

I have 2 TF700's in my family. They both have the problem.
The stock browser and alot of third party browsers keep giving me this error "browser not responding" and then gives me the option to "wait" or "close".
Is this common among the TF700's?
Is there a solution?

I am guessing you are pure stalk? then yes it seems to be a stock Rom problem. You can usually click "wait" and it will come back but not always. The only solution I know is flashing back to ICS and rooting, or unlocking(which voids ASUS warranty), flash a custom recovery, and flash CleanRom. cyanogen, or a different custom rom.

Are you saying that many others with this tablet that are running stock asus software have this problem?
it's hard to believe since this tablet got such rave reviews.
BTW what's the difference between "unlocking" and "rooting"?

Not all people seem to report this problem but I never had success with the stock rom. And yes quite a few others have similar problem but not all. I have heard the newest version of Chrome has fixed lots of lag browsing wise, try it if you have not already. When the tf700 first came out it was the first of its kind, HD screen, Keyboard Dock, Decent sized CPU and GPU. But being so introduced new problems.
Rooting gives you administer privileges and it will make you be able to install browser2ram which increases the speed of your browser tremendously.
Unlocking is unlocking the bootloader, which voids the asus warranty, and allows you to install a custom recovery, which then allows you to install other roms. Custom roms like Cromi and Cyanogen come prerooted. Custom roms fix many issues but also create some new ones.

Your right, Chrome does work better, but Chrome doesn't support plugins like ( ie. flash) which makes some content not work.
I'm guessing rooting on the tablets are different than rooting on the smartphones since you need to install custom recovery in order to root a smartphone.
So what issues do the custom roms bring to the table?; I hope the advantages are worth the trouble.

I kind of liked the stock browser, it was working fine at the beginning, it started happening after a certain update I think.

Rooting does not require unlocking your boot loader. It just requires you to flash stock ice cream sandwich, root, then install ota rootkeeper, once you have that done you can upgrade to the latest android and restore the root. You cannot root Jelly bean directly. You dont need a custom recovery to root ICS, but you cannot root Jelly Bean directly .
Custom roms bring few issues to the table as long as you follow the procedures. You must first use ASUS' unlock tool, then install a recovery via fastboot, and you should be good. However if you consider unlocking I would look through all the posts of people who have messed up their devices so you dont make the same mistake. As long as you have the 10.4.4.25 bootloader and a jellybean compatible recovery you wont have problems. That seems to be the main issue when people brick their tf700's. People installing jelly bean when they do not have compatible recoveries / boot loaders.

The only custom rom WILL NOT give you any trouble but 100% faster and smoother is Clean Rom (ppl called it CROMI) currently at version 3.4.4. This is stock rom with supercharge installed. It will be night and day between stock and CROMI. You would be glad and kick yourself in the bud that you didn't use this rom sooner! and your stock browser once again will be the best browser.

You can't compare phone S3 with Asus tablet. They have different hardward bootloder etc..There is NO ODIN for tf700. In S3 you need to Odin insecure bootloader in order to root and flash custom recovery. There is no loop hole in tf700 while you're on JB (Asus patched), but there is in ICS. So if you just want root, you need to downgrade back to ICS. If you're on JB the only way you can root or flash custom recovery is to unlock your device, this allow you to use fastboot function in JB bootloader to flash custom recovery (TWRP,CWM), then use custom recovery to flash root(SuperSU) or pre-rooted custom rom.

That is a very personal decision. It was worth it to me. Instead of getting annoyed by my TF700 a dozen times a day and enjoying a warranty I may never need, I now have a tablet that runs like a dream!!
And the support the dev and others on the CROMI thread provide puts Asus to shame - easily.
When you use the Asus unlock tool it phones home to Asus servers. From then on they know that your specific tablet is unlocked. Also says so on the boot screen. And no way to reverse it, btw.

Personally I dont know any advantage on ICS over JB as I never put ICS on my tablet. Cromi is the stock asus rom, broken apart, then rebuilt. It contains the same layout and some asus stock apps however since it has different internals and all bloatware is gone is makes most if not all lag disappear. Yes we are disappointed but it is easily solved after you put a different Rom on it. Also the support for Cromi is MUCH better tehn any support ASUS could provide. To be mad at ASUS does no good. The only option if you are that disappointed it to send them back or modify the tablet yourself. Cromi and cyanogen put the stock rom to shame, and both have better support.

PS: and yes to root you must revert back to ICS.

You can always wait and hope for the JB 4.2 release. The TF300 got it and a lot of owners seem to report much better performance and less lag. Compared to the stock 4.1 of course....
I doubt stock 4.2 is going to be as good as CROMI is already

For me and most of us here, yes unlocking is well worth it.
and NO, you don't need root to flash back to ICS, just download Asus full firmware ICS .30 version, unzip it then copy it to the root of your MICROsdcard and it will flash back to ICS (some cases, you need to rename the file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip then boot into stock recovery in order to work) . Once you're back on ICS, debugfs root tool will help you to achieve root.
Thanks for the education guys.
Can CROMI ( CleanRom) play flash content, though?
What are the other advantages, other than being smooooge?
Is CROMI made specifically for the TF700?

During the installation of Cromi, sbdags put the flashplayer into the setup, so yes flash is supported on Cromi, by default unless you choose not to install it. Cromi is made for other devices but Cromi in the tf700 part of the forums is made specifically for the tf700. The speed is the main advantage, also it is pre rooted, and the support if you have a problem is great.

Seriously, who thinks 4.2.1 is worth the aggravation?

I've read about more bricks than the last time the three little pigs got together to ward off the big bad wolf. Rampant complaints about BT interfering with Wifi; complaints about the new launcher; issues with the tab reading microsd cards (I'm not giving up my 32gb card, no thank you very much).
What I haven't seen is anyone saying, "boy, I'm really happy I flashed 4.2.1."
Would like to hear what I'm missing from folks who are glad they did the deed.
No problems as of yet for me with stock 4.2.1 . I'm more content for now than happy.
I was on Cleanrom 3.3 with a custom kernal from "CleanROM Inheritance Kernels v2.0" oc'ed to 1.6. and running TWRP 2.4.1.0 at the time.
Downloaded 4.2.1 latest firmware from asus downloads Version WW_V10.6.1.8 (ww is suitable for my tf300)
extracted the blob and flashed it with TWRP 2.4.1.0 , didnt wiped Cache or Dalvik Cache.
I'm at fully stock bootloader and firmware v10.6.1.8 now
Everything seems to work ,
Havent used the camera much but but when I did it worked fine
Bluetooth and wireless work flawlessly together, I often watch movies over wireless with bsplayer pro and bluetooth headphones .
I have the dock and both my 32gig SDcard class 10 and 32gig microSD class 10 are working.
Games maybe not as smooth when using the custom overclocked kernal . ie Beach buggy blitz , grabatron , dead trigger
I do miss the slight overclock it had , but I'll patiently wait for the next TWRP and cleanrom update
Yep I agree. Is it really worth an upgrade? I'm running one of the older versions of CROMI and I'm very happy with it. It runs flawlessly. I also use a class 10 32gb sd card which I'm am not willing to give up.
As the release of the newest version of CROMI nears, I'm on the fence as whether or not I really want to go through with the upgrade just yet. I may just decide to wait awhile and see what everyone thinks about it. Time will tell.

It's worth it. I like it better. No hassle or aggravation here. Pure happiness.
I love 4.2.1 everything runs great and CROMI 4.0 is out and works great. I think all the things that make 4.2 is worth the upgrade if nothing else the core of android should be better.
I didn't expect the update to bring much improvements to be honest, but I find it surprisingly good. Loving the lockscreen widgets, camera and keyboard.

Boy, I'm really happy I flashed 4.2.1 and used it for about a week then flashed CROMI 4 last night . this update also proved that Asus is giving good after sales services and tf300t being the first non-nexus device to get 4.2. Those who got bricked are mostly people who didn't flash properly or used the wrong version of recovery or didn't full wipe ~ obviously if you used stock and locked bootloader you'll get 4.2 from OTA and have less chance if brick.

4.2 was great until I made 2 users and now everything seems laggy. Im not sure if having 2 accounts this much stress on the cpu/ram?
Dont know if i would have flashed it if i didnt have nvflash (i need that 4.1 bootloader) but the overall experence wasnt bad, no wifi troubles at all, stock 4.2 launcher is quite smooth (my tf101 with custom 4.2 runs smoother tho )
I really enjoy the 4.2 update, almost everything works flawlessly for me. It also seems more stable and responsive that 4.1.
The only complaint I have is that since updating I no longer receive delta updates from the play store; it is driving me crazy
But all in all, I wouldn't want to go back to 4.1.
I'm doing to downgrade the bootloader to 4.1 and install CM10.1
I'm having random freezes, reboots and extreme battery drain, I tried Stock 4.2.1, CHROMI 4.0, factory reset, etc.
It works ok for some hours, then things go bad.
Before downgrading I left the microsd card out, just for curiosity, and I'm going to testing for a few hours, but I'm not going to stop using the microsd.

[Q] Post 4.2.1 Bluetooth Issues

I am running stock.
After 4.2.1 I have had alot of issues with bluetooth. I found a discussion post the advice was to do a factory reset. I did that process and it did not correct the issue. I then found another post that had instructions on using adb to change the permissions of a bluetooth file. That corrected the issue. However, I am still having major issues with bluetooth.
Bluetooth seems to loose connection to devices and then I have to turn it unpair/pair to get it to start again. It works then for a few minutes and dies again. This is horrible for me as I use my tablet for aviation and pull ADS-B data into it.
Not to mention root was completely screwed up in the factor reset. I used voodoo root keeper & superuser combination I had RK backup root as usual. Did a factory restore, and now root is completely messed up. No big deal. I don't use root anyways.
But this Bluetooth issue is unbearable! The only thing I can think of now is following the instructions to downgrade version (reflash) and try to upgrade again and see if the problem persists. Any ideas?

You dont need to keep a root from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 anymore. It is possible to root 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 now so that may be your answer. Try unpairing both devices, restarting both, and pairing them again. I was having issue to but unpairing them, making sure they were not in the records of eachother, and repaired fixed it. Also, I believe if the device is a PS3 controlled, the support for it has been dropped, sadly.

Appreciate the reply. I've already tried unpairing/repairing. That's the only way to get it to work for a short time. The device is a Garmin GDL-39 ADS-B (Aviation Weather & Traffic Receiver). It worked without issues in 4.1.1.
I'm thinking about reflashing 4.2.1 and seeing if that corrects the issue. Bluetooth is acting very erratic and a factory reset did not fix it.

Appreciate the reply. I've already tried unpairing/repairing. That's the only way to get it to work for a short time. The device is a Garmin GDL-39 ADS-B (Aviation Weather & Traffic Receiver). It worked without issues in 4.1.1.

The device may just be acting silly, yes go and reflash the rom and see it helps. However, there is a chance it wont work at all as drivers have changed.

Didn't work so I have downgraded to 4.1.1 and seem to be working fine again. I did a google search of "4.2.1 bluetooth issues" and found a plathora of hits. Sounds like the Bluetooth stack is broken in 4.2.1 and fixed in 4.2.2.

Maybe so but it would also depend on the drivers put in by ASUS. Some people have no problems with bluetooth whatsoever but some do. Hopefully ASUS will put us on 4.2.2 in a couple months with Key Lime pie supposedly being announced/released to the world in June/July.

Highly possible. IDK. Sucks that 4.1.1 works and 4.2.1 doesn't. On my tablet, I had all kinds of Bluetooth issues when it upgraded to 4.2.1. At first I couldn't even get bluetooth to turn on, until having to the workaround mentioned on another post on here (permissions set wrong on a bluetooth library file). All this with being on a stock rom and without doing anything special (I was rooted, but never actually used any programs that required root. Just had no need.)

Yeah its crazy lol. Titanium backup and browser2ram are a must. If you dont got em I would get them ASAP, will help when you have problems and will increase the speed of your browser.
