[Q] Revolver Rom VS Revolution HD Rom

Which Rom is better? Revolver or Revolution?
I plan to be emulating alot of Old Roms like N64, PSX, and so on.
as well as Multi Media.
which one will give me better battery life, with out sacrificing any performance.

They about the same too me.. Just choose one..

Revolver as it has more kernal options and tweaking via revolver parts plus revolution doesn't get many updates.

prime; both those roms are pretty much kangs of prime anyway

It really is a matter of personal opinion. IMHO I think Revolver is buttery smooth and great on battery life. The functionality you get with Revolver Parts is unbeatable. I have tried all the TF ROMS available and they were all good with Prime being my least favorite.

revolution seems smoother to me and the wifi is much more stable than prime and revolver (and the new kid on the block kracked or smth).

I've heard people with revolver get quicker boot times, just something to consider.

Just switched back to revolver 3.10 from revolution HD. Revolver is smoother by a mile for me.

I have the Revolver on my transformer and love it. I'm hoping that Gnufabio creates a rom for the Galaxy Nexus as I cam currently using Revolution on there.

Prime. Roach is real deal, hence he's on the team for cm9.

My opinion is that Revolver has better support and update than Revolution.

Tried them all now. Revolver is miles ahead in terms of smoothness, speed and customisation. The others appeared laggy to me. That is on the stock kernel as well.

CM10.1 or CROMI 3.2?

What is everyone doing? I ran CleanROM for a long time but I'm curious what everyone else thinks?

This should've been posted in the Q&A section. That being said, I've been using CROMI for a very long time. Haven't tried CM10.1 yet.

CM10.1 hands down. (make sure to post non-development related posts in General/QA next time )

I was running cm10.1 and now running cleanrom 3.1 and just now updating to 3.2 I prefer cleanrom over cm10.1 at least on this device, I an running cm10.1 on my galaxy note 1 and 2 and on my galaxy tab 7.7 I think it really depends on the device and what else is available my 3 nexus 7's are all running paranoid android latest pie beta and that is also great

I switch between the two alot and I do prefer CM10.1 but I can't get my external harddrive or flashdrive to mount through the dock, I've tried three or four different file managers but none seemed to work, only the Stock ASUS one, which won't work in CM10.1 (at least I couldn't get it to) If anyone knows how to do this please let me know...

I ran CM10.1 was the first custom rom I loaded on my Infinity. It still had problems with lag on the browser and opening apps. Plus CM10.1 didn't have the cool Asus toggles and Asus apps loaded. So I tried CleanRom when it was 2.1. Man what a big difference in performance and touch response.
The original developer of Cleanrom left and a new developer now taken over and still making big improvements. If it wasn't for CleanRom this tablet wouldve been doomed with all of Asus critical flaws. The hardware is nice but the I/O problem and shaky firmware caused a mediocre experience which is unacceptable for a high end tablet. I don't think I can go try another ROM unless CROMI stops development. I was really amazed what CROMI has done to this tablet.

I am partial to CROMI myself. It runs super smooth, and sbdags is continuously making improvements.

CROMI -- I did actually try out CM10 in the earlier versions (which I'm sure do not even hold a candle to the more recent ones), but I did not like on this particular device (I have a few others that run/ran CM to great satisfaction). I like the keyboard toggles (available in the more recent M versions, I know), and the external storage functions must work impeccably for me to even seriously consider to try out CM10 at the moment...
I've donated to all three projects (CM, CleanROm and CROMI) and I do hope that CM10 is succesful and popular -- no hard feelings here.

Help choosing ROM

OK, my problem is I can't decide what ROM is best for me, And I'd rather not spend time trying them all out when I have all you beautiful people who can give me their input. The two ROMs I've used are cm10 and liquid smooth. The issue is though cm10 hasn't had any real bugs for me yet, it isn't as fast or smooth as liquid smooth is. But liquid smooth although faster, seemed to be a bit more buggy. So I'm looking for a ROM that's stabile and not too buggy' but is also smooth and fast. I don't need a ton of customization but a small to decent amount would be nice and a few nice features wouldn't hurt but neither of those are necessary. . What ROMs would you guys suggest for me and if possible why. Thanks ahead of time.

I suggest Cromi. Plain and simple. It has its small bugs of course, considering it is based upon stock. However, the support for it is fantastic and it comes with many options. I am looking forward to 4.2.1. The tf300 got the option to switch between layouts of 4.1 and 4.2 and I think that is great of ASUS to come out with, and when ASUS released 4.2.1 for the TF700, I am sure sbdags will keep that implemented. With 4.2.1 I am sure will come some more smoothness and stability. CM is smooth, but does not seem as fast as Cromi. It also depends on the launcher and settings you have.
Good Luck on your choice.
Tylor

I've been researching around the forums and it seems like clean ROM is good' but which is the best, I saw two, ace and inheritance

There is no "best" per say. Each has its ups and downs. I however prefer Cromi over other because it is stocked based and it still has the 4.1.1 tablet UI. Also, since Cromi has the most users, feedback and stability will be best. It is a matter of your choice in the end. Just try it out, you can always nandroid backup your current and try out others.
However, 3.4.5 just came out and I would wait. I personally am experiencing problems ATM and trying to figure it out. Problem currently (March 21 2013) seems to revolve around the new Cromi Boot Logo. So when in options just choose the Stock or Nexus 7 Boot logo instead.
Tylor

Thanks for the help, I'll try both, see which I like more. Finally be able to settle down and not keep switching between ROMs like I have.

What tweaks do *you* have on your CROMi-X TF700

Hi guys,
just wanted to make this thread to see what tweaks you have on your CROMI-X based TF700, since I have just installed CROMI-X and I am curious what tweaks work and improve overal performance.
Not that I really think it's necessary because sdbags did one hell of a job here, but I am just really interested to see what you have done to make your TF700 more to your liking

I think you hit it on the head. @sbdags has already got ALL the known tricks in his ROM. He is diligent about finding new tweaks and incorporating any and all stable performance enhancements known so users don't have to "tweak" anything. As I understand it, its fully optimized and ready for the race track right out of the box. He's already planning to incorporate my multi-browser script if its not in there already. The warranty period is painful when talking about CROMIX. I can't wait to try it.

It is perfect to me too, but I can't stop reading about people who tweak it to the max with Pimp my Rom, System Tuner, etc.
And I was wondering: does that even still have effect? Because it seems like it could only do more harm than good, considering the default set-up by sdbags
The only thing that could make my tf700 more perfect is faster browsing. Don't know why, but sometimes it hangs (not only during downloads) and sometimes it's blazing fast. And it doesn't have anything to do with my wifi at home, because that is probably the best Internet connection you could get in my village lol

Think that Lucius Zens guide covers all tweaks really well. Have a look for it

Yea, he's already got my browser2ram script incorporated for 4 browsers (stock, naked, firefox, chrome). My final release is out with support for a total of 14 browsers (only if they are installed) with a unmount script available to unload them too so if you wanted you could run my unmount_all script then my autostart4 script to enable supporting 10 more browsers but the 4 you already have wouldn't be any faster.
Hangs you say? I've never had that happen on stock ROM. Maybe the browser is getting shut down by OOM due to lack of memory? You might want to check your OOM settings and possibly try increasing the content providers cache to between 96 and 192MB in System Tuner memory tweaks OOM tab using the aggressive or very aggressive presets but there are some more advanced users here on XDA that disagree with me (and System Tuner) on this tweak. If you do this don't set it in boot settings before you test drive the new settings or you could get yourself in a boot loop if it goes wrong. If it works out, then set it complete on boot to autoload the new settings. I'm running my own settings, somewhere in between aggressive and very aggressive on stock ROM with good performance and no issues.

I have 10 browsers in the current script. Where can I see the list of your browsers so I can see what I am missing? Stock browser is yet to be beaten in my opinion. The only one close enough is dolphin.

What are the default OOM settings you are using in your ROM?

Was wondering what Kernel everyone was using, and what is recommended? A few days ago I installed ChromiX 4.5 for the first time ever using a ROM. It works great, and im about to try upgrading to ChromiX 4.6.1. I used _that/ stock modded kernel variant based from ASUS Stock.
My other question is flashing a MOD of 4.6.1 over top of 4.5. Do i have to wipe my tablet and then install every app again? When I flashed 4.5, it was over stock and all my apps were saved when ChromiX loaded
Thanks for any help

You can dirty flash 4.6.1 over 4.5 - no problem there.
I personally think that _that's kernels are the most stable and that's what I'm looking for - no pun intended
A lot of users tried and liked Max's kernel, but I have no personal experience with it.

I agree. If you want stability either use my stock based or the more tweaked _that's kernel as your base. Max and Hunds whilst quick also sacrifice some stability.

I felt the same until this tablet. The xda community really makes android stand apart.
Also if you feel like you might want a bit more Max Kernel v3, is very stable for me giving me incredible speeds. Is just a simple flash via twrp, make a nandroid and try it?

Maxkernel runs well but I would not put it out there just yet as it is not liking 32 or 64 GB Micro SD cards and is tending to wiping them. The issue is being worked on though.

I've been using Hunds Kernal for a while and its great. Better yet is the options now to incorporate CPU/GPU Clocks of your own into the Asus Power Bar via his app. I like just a little bit more power especially on the GPU as needed and it provides that, as well has the Data2SD capabilities.

You could try PIE controls through the LMT app found in the xda forums somewhere. It works fine, but I just haven't really found any practical use for it

Cool, i'll give it a try.

I know what you mean about browser lag. It's been a problem from day one. I changed the net core memory settings in system tuner memory tweaks to 1.5mb instead of 1 and all my browsers run faster. Even the stock one.

3.4 Kernel?

Am I right in thinking the tf700 is not using the 3.4 android kernel? my xperia s has been updated to use this with the latest firmware, and for whatever reason (im no android dev!) it seems to apparently be the reason the phone has gone from pretty laggy to very snappy indeed. is there any reason Asus have not done this? is there a newer version incoming, or is this device just not a priority anymore? (which would be a shame as its not that old and works pretty damn well to me, but could always be better!)
thanks for any info!

Asus depends on NVidia, and it's unlikely that we'll see any newer kernel for our device than 3.1.

thanks. as i said, im no expert, but could this be done by devs without nvidia, or are they holding on to the nessessary code?
also, with the experimental 3.8 kernel sources available, and it supporting 'third party tegra drivers', will this benefit us, and could it be built independant of asus?

It should be possible to add support for the Transformers to newer kernel versions based on the published 3.1 source, but since there were major changes related to ARM device handling in recent kernels (device tree) it won't be easy.

would there be benefits, if some one were able to do it? as i said, the folk over on the xperia forums are very happy we have a 3.4 kernel, and claim all manner of improvements, which are noticable in the new build, are down to 3.4. thanks

You could start researching yourself - are there any Tegra 3 Android devices with a newer kernel than 3.1?

I wish i had the time, maybe when my degree is over! i guess the HTC One Tegra version may use a newer kernel? Or maybe it will do when 4.3/5.0/whatever comes out, or the Google Experience versions may do when they ship i guess?
