[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.

any idea with i am stuck at google logo after flash GlaDOS with brainmaster's MIUI ?

yes , i did reply in GlaDOS's post , but looks like i've been ignored ...so i have to post here see if anyone could help me with it ...
i was using FRANCO kernel , and then flash GlaDOS both BFS and CFS and 2.2 and 2.3 version , all stcuk , fine , first of all i figure it could be problem due to residual file of FRANCO kernel
ok , then i just flash whole new MIUI ROM with everthing wipe and then flash GlaDOS , but still stuck ...
any idea ?
thanks in advance...
and Merry Christmas to all

Which version of the ROM and kernel?
If you flashed ICS ROM, then it should be OK to flash GLaDOS 2.x. But if you flashed GB ROM you cannot flash the current GLaDOS kernel.

................kidding me ???
i throught there is GlaDOS for 2.3.X ROM ???

You can't flash a ICS kernel on Miui gingerbread base rom, its gonna get stuck. You need to flash an ICS kernel on a miui ics base rom or whatever ics rom your gonna use.

Try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393
Good Luck !

Wow, so you really flashed an ICS kernel with a GB rom??
Best practices for modding your phone:
1) ALWAYS backup your existing setup before flashing something new.
2) Read, research, read again about what you are doing before you do it. The last thing you want to deal with is a truly bricked phone, especially since it can almost always be avoided.
Not trying to come off as a prick - just trying to save you from a lot of unnecessary grief.

Nope
There is GLaDOS for GB, the latest version is 1.12, which is not in the OP anymore, but you can find it somewhere in that thread.

well yes ics kernel to gb rom, this is kinda embarrassing, i saw other kernel has 2 separated threads or 2 versions so i thought same to glados ....
and thanks for concern and advise, my phone wasn't bricked, I am still able to enter recovery or fastboot, once get there I can pretty much deal with most problem I have encountered

Not able to overclock rooted Tf101 with ANY kernel

Im extremely frustrated...Ive been trying to OC my Tf101 for days now w/ no success. Ive tried several ROMs + kernel(s) and now Ive tried FROZN 1.0.9 because I heard they do GREAT work and the ROM is supposed to include a Guevor Kernel allowing OC, I think to 1.7.
I rooted w/ ViperMOD Prime (latest ver)
I installed CWM (5.5.0.4 I think, latest ver)
I flashed:
[ROM] FROZN 1.0.9 █Apr. 2 2012█ 9.2.2.3 █ ICS for TF █Super-Optimized█ Guevor Kernel
...but when I use the included NoFrills CPU app it will only allow me to clock to 1.000?
What am I possibly missing or not understanding? Is the a Tf101 that is simply NOT capable of OC?
ANY ideas would greatly be appreciated...I am sooo anxious to OC because everyone seems to be doing so with great success.
Thanks all.

The kernel included with frozn only goes to 1.2ghz and the default clock is 1ghz
Ics testy meh sio init.d kernel goes to 1.6 i would try that one
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app

ok mate...that one sounds a bit better to me for the final number, however I cant get mine to clock past 1.000 at all. Ive tried ROMs + kernel(s) and Ive tried ROMs w/ kernel included, install goes fine but when I try to OC w/ CPU app, it only goes to 1.000.
I thought I was reading someone else w/ this problem and the issue revolved around a botched recovery flash or something?...but I cant seem to find that thread again. I did try to unsuccessfully flash back to stock ASUS recovery a while back, didnt work (CWM was still present afterwards). Wonder if that is creating an issue of some kind?...although I am struggling to imagine what one would have to do w/ the other.
Thanks for the reply mate...Im willing t listen to ANY ideas at this point!

"The kernel included with frozn only goes to 1.2ghz and the default clock is 1ghz"
BTW...wanted to check on the FROZN OC kernel abilities...the latest FROZN ver sets CPU default at 1.2 and allows OC to 1.7. But anyhow, only allowed me 1.000 default and no OC.

Yeah I'm on frozen oc'd at 1.4. Your issue is weird I've never heard of that before. What happens if you select anything higher than 1.0, do you get an error or anything?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I dont even get the option to go higher than 1.000.

UPDATE: apparently this inability to OC the kernel in any way is happening to those of us experiencing the CWM bootloop issue...so since the loader goes immediately to CWM it never runs the flashed kernel.
So in these forums is a thread to fix the CWM bootloop and if you follow the instructions carefully, you fix the bootloop and thus allowing the flashed kernels a chance to actually install. I chose the Roach method which you can install the code using Terminal Emulator pretty intuitively. I didnt choose the other method because I didnt want to mess w/ setting up an ADB terminal on my PC, which seemed MUCH more difficult.
So...now FINALLY
ViperMOD Prime rooted
ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery 5.8.8
FROZN 1.0.9 ROM (w/ built-in Guevor kernel @ 1.2 default) and am OCd @ 1.54 (np's at all so far, lightning fast, havent even tried 1.6 or 1.7).
Only issue so far is File Manager app crashes on startup...which isnt good because now the other file manager app I tried doesnt see my ext_SDcard...the stock File Manager did.

Tried flashing rogue recovery???
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app

Overclock up to 1.6 - 1.7ghz
I just share with u how i overclock my tf101 upto 1.7ghz with stock rom....ALL ASUS APPS IS WORKING
- i root my device with ViperMod prime v5.4 (choose option 1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427125
- then, install rom manager from android market (to flash clockworkmod recovery). i am using standard recovery, not the touch recovery...u all can try if u want.for me its doesn't matter.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
-lastly, i flash the kernel 9b(by using clockworkmod recovery)...u can get the latest kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565519
- currently, i can overclock my tf101 up to 1.7ghz with beloved stock rom..
- antutu benchmark 76++....
hopefully its helpful......enjoy your enthusiant tf101 speed...

I cant talk from experience, but Ive read at several places that ROM manager is NOT recommended to use.
How, when or why I do not know. Theres another app thats recommended for the TF, simply called "recovery installer". Its listed in the epic noob guide.
As I said, Ive only read that rommanager isnt recommended for the tf.

[Q] Is there a ROM not affected by RR / SOD??

I've been searching here for a long time and looking at different custom ROMs but cannot find an answer. (so please be gentle on me if I missed the obvious...)
Is there a custom ROM for the TF101 which is not affected by the RR, SOD, bootloop, and all the other issues introduced in stock ICS?
Will appreciate the advice.

I have used android revolution hd since it updated to ICS and not since the first ICS ota version have I seen a random reboot and I have never had a SOD

Get a new kernel
Your solution to SODs and ROR is getting a new kernel, the best one is to my point of view GUEVOR works, the last ones are great with stock rom.

This is what you need to do. But, I would recommend either the 17c or 16b. I had a lot of SOD with the latest 19.2 kernel.

Thank you all!
I'm currently on stock .21
So confirming that what I need to do is:
Revert to an older, rootable stock ROM
Root
Then either:
Install Guevor kernel (with stock rom?)
or
Install Revoultion HD
Is this correct?

Yes, Guevor 17c is rock stable, so is the TestyMehIcs kernel. Both should do you good
ARHD on it's own (as mike tweaks the kernel) or with Guevor/testymeh is good too.

Thanks @Thing O Doom.
And is the procedure above correct?

Yes, between steps 2 and 3 though you need to make sure to install CWM recovery (I recommend Rouge XM version, as it reads internal and external SD card) this is what you will use to flash the kernel and a ROM

Yes, I forgot to mention CWM...
Will try the stock .24 when it comes out (hopefully this weekend) and if RR continues I will go Revolution HD or guevor.

Go into download mode and flash a froyo ROM. The fugumod kernel is not for android 2.3 ROMs that's why your phone went mental

Thank you MicroGeek! I've flashed successfully a stock firmware (2.2)...but I've two simple question,..
1) There is a guide (in an italian forum) that combines Kyrillos ROM + "Fugumod Ultra Pre Release" kernel..how is it possible? (obviously till I flash only the rom it goes all ok)
2) May you suggest me a kernel to combine with Kyrillos rom? I'm searching a kernel that improves battery performance
Thanks a lot guy! :good:

@up on that forum is probably a guide to combine Kyrillos froyo rom(he has a froyo and cm7 rom) with fugumod ultra...
2) I am using my own rom with fugumod ultra 1366 Mhz and my battery lasts 2 days with average usage and 1 day with heavy usage. CPU is set to 780 Max - 156 Min with conservative governor.And the performance is amazing.
If you don't like ultra version try standard,the performance will not be that good but battery will last longer.
Click thanks if i helped.

Kyrillos 10.6 is not froyo-based... (2.3.7)
However my problem now is that i cannot flash nothing except the latest stock firmware (it's the only firmware that let me wake up successfully the phone)... i tried several times to flash Kyrillos but the phone remain in the GT-I5800 splash screen..I don't understand why this happens

Did you try flashing a custom froyo rom ? If you did and it doesn't boot try to flash Zerofill.tar(i think you can find the download link in rkoby's mediafire folder) and then try to flash cm7 or something else you want...
