[Q] Install Costom ROM+Kernel - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Well, i want to install a costom ROM+Kenel in my Transformer.
I currently have Honeycomb 3.2.1 and Kernel 2.6.36.1.
Anyone knows what might be the best ROM+Kernel? I've seen Prime V.2.05 and Netformer.
Just to be sure i don't something stupid: first i need to install CWM, then install ROM and kernel, right?
Thank you!

i have revolver and blades 2 and its FAST

Actually first you need to find out if your TF is even rootable.
If rootable than yes root, install CWM than flash ROM + kernel

me too. i have tried every rom, but went back to revolver.

I didn't know this tablets could run custom roms

Perfect Question! I have owned my TF for less than a week. Figured out how to root and install CWM thanks to some nice detailed posts. I am currently running PRIME 2.0.5 with Clemsyns 22 OC kernel at 1424 max.
Why I chose PRIME? I saw a Youtube video on it. So I have read and read multiple threads on ROMs here. Looks like the choice of three. So far this is very stable and seems fast. I have had no fc's or issues like that.
I am interested as well as which ROM people prefer and why? I know a lot comes down to personal preference. I'm looking for stability, speed, compatibility, updates.

Thank you all for your replies!
Yesterday I finally decided to go with Prime 1.6 and netformer OC 1.6ghz.
Well, one thing is sure, it's clearly faster now...
Now I get 6000+ on antutu benchmark!

Wow, you're lucky you have one that can go that high. Some tf cannot be OC to 1.6. Mine, for example, can only be OC to 1.4 before it freezes and crash.

[Q] what is the best custom rom?

i have a rooted tf and i was just wondering what is the best stable/not buggy rom to flash onto my device
Quick reply:
1. If you're rooted go with Prime 1.5 great rom everything you need.
2. Wrong spot to post, if I were you report this post before you get flamed at by the "trolls".
well im a sorta noob lol dont get to pissed
There aren't really that many mods out yet since we don't have the source code. All the Rome now are just customized 3.1 roms. I'd say prime 1.5 is the best with magnus supreme and clemsyns roms being based off of them.
Read my sig,i think thats whats best.
prime 1.5 is a great ROM, but Clemsyn has OC kernel that I find to be awesome.

ok, stupidly i installed madaco rom v7 and i hate it is there a way to install prime over this?
I am using Revolver 0.2 and loving it so far! It is a fast ROM that just seems to work out-of-box. Wth other ROMS I have had issues that needed fixing after flashing the ROM but with Revolver things just seem to work out-of-box. Very happy with Revolver.
just installed my first custom rom and decided to go for the clemsys one
for me it just rocks, stable, fast and with the battery profiling in combination with pimpmycpu, this thing just flies when it needs to and powersaves when it doesn't
im with prime 1.6 its do 3300 on smartbench productive test no OC
games score is 2300
I went with Revolver 1.0.1 on top of a stock rooted 3.1 and I'm quite happy. Easy to do, worked the first time, OC'd and not too much mucked with. Just the way I like it.

OK my TF101 is now rooted, now what ?

Be gentle
Just been playing with my new TF101, Razorclaw rooted it.
Now I'm thinking, what do I do next
Changemode through ROM Manager ?
Is there custom ROMs out already ?
Can I overclock it
Been though the developers section and I find it a bit confusing now, starting to get old and my brain isn't as sharp That and all the beer last night
So really this is a general question to 'what have you done and why' ?
You can do whatever you want...
ROMS:
-Android Revolution HD
-Prime
-Revolver
-KRAKD
-EeeBomb
Kernels:
-Prime kernel (has Overclock)
-Clemsyn (has OC and Undervolt)
-Blades (OC and UV)
ROMmanager doesn't work with the transformer
For overclocking, install an OC kernel and use SetCPU or No-frills cpu control or a few other that'll find in the market.
Nice thanks will search them out later.
Revolver with blade a good mix ?
Make a backup.

Yep already done and sat on a spare Micro card and hard drive.
Any of the ROMS have 3G Dongle support built in now ? Would love that. Be very handy.
Thanks
OK I've searched for Prime kernel and it just seems to list loads of un related posts.
Where are the 'kernals' people speak of ?

Goto Post #2 in the Prime ROM thread and you will see the kernel 2.0.6 there I believe that is what everyone is referring to
Cool thanks
I used Revolver parts and used that to install it but my WiFi didn't work with it, so I went to Blade 2. Still can't figure out how to use the 3G dongle though after installing the 3G mod from Revolver parts though.
Many many thanks for replying.

[Q] ics OC with the latest update ww 9.2.1.17 stock everything just rooted

Hi everyone, this is my second post, i know there is a wide quantity of post talking about the same but if someone could light a candle in my path i would apreciate it very much.
My question is, I've rooted my tf101 when it was in the ics rom the 9.2.1.11 then i used ota rootkeeper(the name was something like that) and now I'm running the 9.2.1.17 everything stock including the kernel and the recovery, so is there a way to achieve overclock in my current status or what do I need to do to get overclock, I'm open to everything changing roms, kernels or anything, I know a bit more than the average noob but if you could explain to me in a simple way
Extra info: I'm using a WW version of the transformer
Can't overclock yet. Wait until someone makes a modified kernel. Should be soon since Asus released the source.
Blades has one available now
Or flash team eos latest build that also contains oc kernel

Recommended ROM and Kernel?

Sorry for making a thread as such but i know little about the development on the TF300 and would appreciate if people could mention what kernel and ROM they recommend for good overall daily use (fast but stable).
Also, it'd be helpful if useful things for the TF300 such as browser2ram were mentioned. If they are already mentioned in a thread, i apologise but i haven't seen it.
Thanks

CleanROM, the Newest Version. Now it's 3.0.4
It's very fast & stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049322
Thanks for the answer. I think i will go with that ROM when i decide to root and install a custom ROM.
Is a kernel recommended in the cleanrom thread?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Yes, You can install kernel installer 1.2 from CleanROM thread, but I'd rather Asus Stock Kernel. Other kernels are for Infinity. That kernels will work on our TF300T, but only in 95%. You will have problems for example with front camera. This ROM is enough fast with Asus stock kernel. In today upgrade to 3.1, CleanROM can redduce Lags in games.
Thank you. Are there no other stable kernels other than stock?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
In kernel installer you can choose Unter's kernel. CleanROM developer reccomended Asus stock kernel. CleanROM based on Stock. Maybe you can install kernel which is made for stock on CleanROM, but I'm not sure. You'd better ask in CleanROM thread.
Thanks, can you overclock on stock kernel?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No, I can't. I tried do this by SetCPU.

So is cleanrom smooth without even overclocking?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Yes, It's. For example NFS Most Wanted 2 doesn't have any lags.
CleanROM 3.1 with stock rom works like a charm...
if you want to overclock you can install the TF300T.zip from Untermensch..is is overclocked to 1600Mhz...the stock ROM runs at 1200Mhz I believe. Overclocked kernels drain your battery faster though.
I have used the TF300T.zip Untermensch kernel, but went back to stock (CleanROM 3.1) , cause it is fast enough.
I think I might as well stick with stock then since currently, I don't even know how to flash a kernel on the TF300. Thanks for everyone's help!
I just rooted and installed CleanROM and can attest to the fact that my tablet is quite a bit smoother with it. I haven't had a single instance of lag since switching to it, but I'm still testing it out.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I'm using Cleanrom with the kernel from The Ultra Fast Rom - JB Overclock Edition V03 ! by Surdu_Petru.. I'd installed The Ultra Fast Rom first then Cleanrom. This allows the tablet to be overclocked to 1.7 though I have kept it at 1.6 using No Frills CPU ...
Thanks for the replies. It must be said, my TF300, after getting rid of every app etc. On it (bar alarm clock extreme) is, dare I say it, smooth! Well, it's much smoother than it was although things aren't perfect.

CleanROM 4.2.1 vs CleanROM 4.1.1

I'm on the last updated CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6) using unters kernel and EVERYTHING just works flawlessly and smooth. I like to always flash the newest thing out and been debating about 4.2.1? Anyone else debating like me? I see there's really no alternative kernel support on the new CleanROM 4.0 but how does it overall compare to the latest update on CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6)? Battery life? Speed? Functionality?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I'm still on the older bootloader too and running CROMI v3.3. I like to keep up to date on the newest software too but I've decided to hold off until they at least get an oc kernel and release a newer version of TWRP.
I'm very happy with v3.3. It runs flawlessly for me. I guess I'll just stick with it for the time being.

Yeah, I talked to Elesbb and he said his was running great without the OC Kernel too. Imagine what it's going to be like once a performance kernel is released. Wheweeee!

Agreed. Really smooth even without OC kernel
(OC kernel never worked for me anyways as it would make my tf300 freak out for some reason)
really happy with the move
