Best ROM? Others seem to have issues

I am still using Primordial 3.1 which is one of the first ROM's released for the Transformer.
I see now there are others, such as Revolver and PRIME!
However, upon reading some things in their threads, people seem to be having some random issues here and there. Like Google bookmark issues and FC's during Quadrant tests.
Primordial seems pretty stable, don't really have any FC's going on. What are you guys still running?
I know ROM's might have been improved since the first one, and can make my Transformer operate more powerfully, but I am just cautious of the issues going on with both ROM's out there kinda.

i use prime 1.5.. it works really well
quadrant is not worth even using, so dont install it. the scores dont matter so it doesnt matter if it FCs

Using Prime 1.6. It's pretty snappy and fast, and I haven't had any issues. I've also tried Clemys's rom (I totally spelled that wrong but..) and it keep rebooting my tab randomly, even when not in use. I watched it reboot 10 times on my desk without me even touching it. Never tried Magnus's roms, as I hate the font nor Revolver.
Oh, and Prime and Primordial are both made by Roach. He dropped Primordial though.

Using Revolver 1.0.1 right now and moderately pleased. Came from stock 3.1 rooted since it was so easy.
Minor problems: I'm seeing the freeze when the screen times out. ie. it won't wake back up. I may just have setcpu configured wrong, however. I'll figure that out tonight.
Still waiting for the real work with ICS, of course.

Yeah, didn't have the profile set right. That issue is now gone and I'm about to go to 1.1. Still recommended.

[Q] ICS downgrade to HC: Is it worth it?

So. I am a moderately happy owner of a TF101. It was running ICS .17 and I had all sorts of issues with it, from RR to SOD to sound disappearing.
The SOD vanished when I set it to turn wifi off when screen was off, the sound and reboots were "fixed" by turning the device off if I expected to be more than 1 or 2 hours away from it.
However, I still experienced graphics corruption in some games (Angry Birds Space, Anomaly: Warzone Earth) and on the youtube app, to name the ones on the top of my head. I checked Wolf's guide to downgrade, rooted my TF101 and while I was waiting for the blob download to finish, Asus pushed the .21 FOTA on my tab.
I am a regular user who ran the device without root for 2 months, I have no special needs besides stability and no headaches.
So, the question is: was HC all that better? I mean Asus FW, WW 8.6.6.23. Was it really that much better than ICS to justify a downgrade?
EDIT: First milestone passed, 20 hours of uptime, no issues at all. So far, so good. I even noticed better video compatibility with some of my old divx4 and mpeg files
EDIT 2: 50 hours of uptime, no issues at all, games working perfectly (not a single crash or video corruption in Angry Birds Space). I am really really happy with the downgrade

Thanks for the reply
I know how to downgrade. What I really want to know is if it is worth the time.
Is the Asus Honeycomb firmware really much more stable and almost issues free?
Or people are just so pissed with the issues on ICS that they are overpraising HC?
I did not had the tablet with HC long enough to know on my own.

Most people just didn't wipe going to the latest version and think that flashing back to HC will fix all of their problems.
Really, if you are happy with ICS and SOD/RR's are at a minimum, definately stick with it. The features in ICS very much outweigh one or two less RR's a week.

Yes, Honeycomb was that much more stable. As soon as I'm done testing for Asus, I will be going back to Honeycomb - it's rock solid.
Yu do need to downgrade via NVFlash, or the ICS problems persist, even in Hoenycomb...

Then I am out of luck, mine is a B70, not sure of the SBK, but I believe it is incompatible.
Anyway, tried to downgrade using Wolf's method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628 ) and testing now.
Will stick with it for at least a month to draw fair conclusions.
Let's see how that goes.

That is exactly my belief. I wiped mine before going to ICS that seemed to fix my issues. My two main issues were battery drain & not deep sleeping. I never had a SOD & only a couple of random reboots.
Other people have reported that once they flash back to HC, they are having the same issues. I am with the belief that wiping is the key for some anyway.

Oh, believe me, I have wiped more times that I care to admit - believe me, wiping is NOT the solution!! Unless we are talking about more than one problem...

In terms of wiping
I tried:
Factory reset at .17
factory reset, wipe, downgrade to .11 or whatever was before .17, then FOTA
same as above, but doing manual upgrade to .17
Of course I liked ICS and my tab was working, with a few caveats. I had more reboots before the wipe, but the deep sleep remained a problem and I had sound and video issues.
Not many, not frequent, but I definitely had. My son gave up on Angry birds space, as an example. Too many force closes. Not a game issue, since it ran fine on my xperia play. And so far, I got 3 stars on 12 stages, not a single issue, on my recently downgraded tf101.
I don't know, maybe ICS is still green, I heard people used to have issues with Asus HC as well in the beginning. Maybe I just like too much of things that just work. But so far, I haven't seen any of the issues I was having with ICS.
Time will tell.

Reached another milestone
120 hours of uptime, 3 people using the device. However, EA's monopoly stopped working after the 3rd day, so now I rebooted the tab to get it running back again.
It was a success, cleared every single issue I had, but I came to notice that after 3 or 4 days up, the tab starts to run slower than usual, taking longer to open programs, etc.
Anyway, the downgrade was successful and the tab works fine now. So, it was worth for me, since I want stock experience on the tab.

So you are using Wolf's method to downgrade? and to what ROM?
Which Wolf method do you use Root or not root?
If it's not NVFlash method that can solved SOD. I will follow you!!

Guys - you may want to hang on before downgrading - we're testing a new beta release from Asus (.24) and so far, things are looking really good... I have a feeling that the ICS RR/SOD issues will be a thing of the past really soon...

Yes, downgraded using the Method 1 - Rooted.
The ROM I am using is Stock HC WW 8.6.6.23, no modifications.

Maybe. I stuck with ICS from .11 up to .21 and I still had graphic corruption in games (mostly Angry Birds Space) and my touchscreen became less responsive. OTOH, on HC I get zero issues.
Don't get me wrong, I really liked ICS. There are some things that annoys me on HC, like the default browser not open new tabs on background. But I don't like to beta test stuff anymore, so I will stay on HC until the stock ICS has all the issues cleared.

See I'm a sort of flip to this, HC gave me all sorts of HELL, but when I wiped and went to ICS (Keep in mind I did use CWM to flash Rooted stock at the time, so I wiped Dalvik, Cache and Factory reset) from there it's been beautiful, I only got one SOD and the occasional screen tear. When I upgraded to an actual Dev rom (ARHD first, now I'm on AOK/SP) and put a modded kernel on, issues ceased to exist. So I'm really happy with ICS overall, even though my experience is Far from stock..

I came to notice that most people that are fully happy with ICS deviated from stock. I am still not planning to deviate from stock, but I might when I go back to ICS. I got my pad on january, still waiting for the 12 months warranty to expire before unlocking bootloader and flashing custom kernels.

Up to date ROM with Cornerstone?

Is there a rom with cornerstone that is actually up to date?
Right now I am using Megatrons rom with cornerstone, but it is very buggy!
Would love to have an up to date rom, where the bugs are being ironed out!
Thanks!

Feedback on Eos with Cornerstone
Just wanted to share my experience of using Eos Rom with Cornerstone.
Just for a bit of background. I am fairly techie but this is my first play with customising my Transformer.
Transformer was running latest stock ICS with .24 kernel. I rooted it without issue. Very easy. Initially after a lot of research I installed the guevor Test kernel. Athough it took me a long time to find. Everyone was referring to guevor's kernel and I did not make the connection from guevor to test kernel. Probably just me.
The guevor test kernel installed fine and worked without issue. I did not spend a lot of time using this kernel as I came across Cornerstone and just had to give it a try.
So it seemed as though the Eos rom was the most active cornerstone build. I installed this. The first installation was a bit buggy. The activating tablet process didn't quite work. Some of the fields didn't work. It seemed like it was conflicting with cornerstone. I was also a little confused as I wanted to use the same kernel as the more experienced Eos developer. It took me a while to realise that Flashing the Eos rom automatically flashed the kernel.
I reflashed the rom and it all went smoothly. I am very impressed with how well and smooth the rom runs. I would have not much ability to troubleshoot issues but pleasingly there wasn't any real major issues. There was a couple of minor bugs that I will share.
1. When using PlayStore and doing a search. The smart matching feature provides a list of possible search terms when you start typing a search query. When trying to press on the first item in this smart list in 90% of cases the press registers on the second listing.
2. One of my favourite apps is the Dual Battery Widget. However probably about 50% of the time this doesn't work properly. Instead of displaying 2 battery icons it just has these do small rectangles. You can not click on them. They don't work. Uninstalling, removing, recreating the widget sometimes fixes it. Restarting sometimes fixes it. I have not worked out a reliable process to get it working.
3. Occasionally a app would freeze or stop responding. For the most part this seemed to be recoverable without restarting. My first instinct is that it is related to cornerstone.
4. Very occasionally I would get a graphic split of the screen. This would only occur for a fraction of a second.
5. On 1 occasion after plugging the keyboard in it did not register as far as the battery was concerned. After plugging the dock in and plugging both into the charger but putting the tablet into sleep not off. The OS did not register that the batteries had charged. After charging overnight it still showed only 14% battery. On restarting the tablet it showed 100%.
6. On 2 occasions the tablet has stopped responding. I wasn't particularly patient and did a force restart. I am not sure if it would recover.
These items are very minor and have not occurred particularly regularly. The most frustrating thing at the moment is typing on the Keyboard. It is probably just me getting used to the keyboard but I also think some of it is the auto correct. But as I don't plan on doing a whole lot of writing on it this should not dampen my enthusiasm.
I am currently waiting on my Prime to be delivered. I can wait to Benchmark, Flash, Benchmark again. etc.
Anyway that's my 2 cents worth. Thanks to everyone who has been developing these roms and kernels.

sounds promising.. got any reading on it?
Edit...so far havent seen to much multi windows type action in jellybean previews..
Mostly its the same, same with more of a " sliding window" or split screen usage as in google currents..
The best i have seen so far is the floating window idea and or the 3 split screens in qq..

Best ROM for TF700?

I'm getting my tablet Monday and I really don't want to have to flash different roms just to find one that works best.
I prefer Cyanogen stuff, I'm running the nightlies on my Razr Maxx HD, and would like to continue using it on a tablet. HOWEVER, it seems that Cromi has a more developed ROM. Am I wrong? What do you guys think is the best rom and why?

Wait a few weeks and you may not have to decide! sbdags and _that are continuing to work on ROM2SD for CROMi-X! Run his rom on internal and another rom on your microSD. Already works for CROMi-X, miniCROMi-X, but CM is coming - I can feel it

Cromi-x is highly recommended, but on my tablet it did run well at all. I would recommend going with cyan based rom, I run cyan on all my other android devices and i could not get used to the Asus based roms at all.
Currently running CMB even without data2sd like cromi-x had it way smoother and hasn't crashed yet. Plus has all the cyan features i know and love...

His rom, sbdags, is very fast and smooth. I don't know how are we going to accurately measure the speed of the tf700t. According to most of the testers, all the measurement apps are lied and can not be trusted but fast and smooth are even worst because there are no data or numbers associating with the test data to back up the conclusion. Otherwise, we can test them side by side... It is just my opinion and don't kill me if I am saying something wrong...

I have had the TF700 for just a few weeks, but go back Droid1 days with running custom roms. Current devices is a Gnex running experimental KitKat, and Nexus 7 that is the wives DD running 10.1.
My experience with TF is as follows get device, unlock, try to load custom rom find out USB data port is DOA, return device, get new one, take two days to get unlock app to work (just kept trying) rejoiced due to unlocking, download Cromi latests, flashed with DATA2SD and choosing Hunds kernel. Running it that way for about 10 days, getting frustrated and returning to CM based ROM (I have ran CM on GNEX and previous devices 80-90% of the time).
First off, let me say I may be wrong about my Cromi situation and probably should have held off posting my experiences. In the last 24 hours I have spent a lot more time on these forums and have sdbags 1:1 helping me getting Data2SD up and running on CM based 4.3 rom. I have been reading more of the posts instead of just skimming them loooking for what I need to fix something and move on. I have to say I am impressed at folks here (specifically _that and sdbags), their ingenuity and expertise (not mention willingness to contribute) is impressively and rarely seen these days in my opinion.
To answer your question about speed, yes, Cromi-x was fast, by far the fastest 4.2 rom to date on any device I have ran. I am sure this is due to Data2SD and the many many tweaks that have been made. However I know 4.2 is plagued by no trim, and at least on my Gnex 4.3 based roms are more responsive (less times hung with no response) than 4.2 roms. So first off I have bad taste in my mouth with anything related to 4.2 because of my Gnex experiences (probably wrong way to look at things I know). So going in I was little worried about 4.2 based.
Here is a list of annoyances with the rom being based on Asus and not AOSP:
Pulldown menu (pull up in the table interface) not being Googles menu (why change it)
Softkeyboard layout (trying to get the at symbol), no swiping (IIRC)
No cCLOCK widget (I wish I didn't like that CM thing so much...)
None of those were deal breakers, I had planned on addressing those eventually but the following occured:
First boot, confirmed data2sd was working, ran benchmarks, was impressed how well it ran etc. Installed my apps, all was good with the world love at first boot....
Sat it down on table (was in dock) rebooted, came back up to welcome screen, lock tablet was restore to factory. Perplexed, I reinstalled my apps, and went about my merry way (never re-ran benchmarks or really looked into the files system too much, my bad).
Next few days crashed reboots occurred randomly (maybe due to the Hunds OC kernel, should have tried stock kernel i suppose)
Finally one day a reboot occured and I rebooted back into my original environment I had setup in the first few hours of Cromi, my data from the environment I was in appeared lost. At this point the annoyances listed above (related to Asus, not the Cromi-rom) were too much.
I wiped everthing (even formated SD card), and went to CMB (why I didn't go striaght 10.2 I don't know). I have not had one single reboot/crash since the move, it is pretty peppy and I am getting really good benchmarks for not having data2sd installed, which is odd. If I didn't see how fast cromi was, I wouldn't be looking to get data2sd back as of right now i feel like 4.3 AOSP with data2sd has to be faster than 4.2 ASUS w/ data2sd.
Obviously, after writing the above issues I didn't follow good trouble shooting practices and perhaps made emotional not logical decisions.

Wow, thanks for the good explanation... What I said was just my opinion, I hope that you are not offended..
Also, there is a trim supported on Cromi X but that would depend on the version of the kernel. You can ask _that or sbdags to help you mount it if it is not currently mounting as an option...
Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Nope no offense taken! As you had a point .

The only time I experience a crashing application is with boat browser. I leave the setting for flash set to always on and flash itself isn't a clean application. That is what causes my tablet to force close the app. I've not experienced the rebooting that I did running pure stock Asus firmware either and it otherwise runs perfect.
Maybe try using one of _that's OC kernals. While not as fast as hunds, they are stable and still offer a greater experience than stock. I haven't found needed to use the 1.8ghz performance mode in his kernals and for my needs the balanced setting at 1.3ghz works fine. The extra boost is there if needed.
Speed doesn't mean you will have the best user experience from the tablet. While hardware specs are meant to be the same for all TF700s, each component is different due to the manufacturing process for each tablet assembled. The CPU/components in your tablet may not play nice with hunds kernal.

a very good one

Hello and greetings from new user of TF700T.
I have been using this ROM for 3 days and I can say while the performance of cromi-x is not poor, it's not great either. Certainly better than CM11 (tried that before switching to cromi-x), but navigating the entire Android OS still feels sluggish. Not to say my TF700T is always slow, but tapping home button for instance, could take me 2-3 seconds before it starts reacting. When I open any apps, the transition animation is also sluggish, which is worse if I navigate apps from recent apps button. Lastly and the worst, Google Now and Google Now Launcher are very unpleasant to use, freezes on the opening and lags almost on the entire time.
I wonder if this kind of experience normal in TF700T considering the tablet is 2 years old? Or there are some tweaks I missed? I am currently running CROMi-X 5.4 Xenogenesis DEODEX.
For whatever the reason is, I'm still thankful for such a great ROM. It's the guys like you who make Android different and beautiful

I have been using this ROM for 3 days and I can say while the performance of cromi-x is not poor, it's not great either. Certainly better than CM11 (tried that before switching to cromi-x), but navigating the entire Android OS still feels sluggish. Not to say my TF700T is always slow, but tapping home button for instance, could take me 2-3 seconds before it starts reacting. When I open any apps, the transition animation is also sluggish, which is worse if I navigate apps from recent apps button.
I wonder if this kind of experience normal in TF700T considering the tablet is 2 years old? Or there are some tweaks I missed? I am currently running CROMi-X 5.4 Xenogenesis DEODEX.
For whatever the reason is, I'm still thankful for such a great ROM. It's the guys like you who make Android different and beautiful

Actually, it is a part of the Cromi X v5.4. It is working fine with Cromi X ROM only and never test with other ROMs. It is running perfectly fine with all of my testers except one that he had a weird waking up issue....

Is ICS too old

My apologies. I made a Noob mistake and put my 1st post all in the title. I am having issues with a lot of the recent apps I download. Closing at random, flashing screen and freezes. Done many searches to no avail. Reinstalled and removed apps. Rebooted pad and reinstalled os with last available from Asus. Any help or advice would make an old man happy.

I may of solved my problem. ICS uses flash. I had removed it months ago. When I installed Firefox it didn't need flash. Going back to the stock browser it wanted flash. After installation all glitches went away .

You should try Timduru's KatKiss ROM, KitKat or Lollipop - 100x better than ICS

Hi ,how is lollipop better than ICS ?.Im still using ICS and after a reset it works ok. But if there is something better i might try it. I just bought an unused TF101 after giving up on my nexus7.

Try KatKiss 4.4. I found the Lollipop version to be slower than the KitKat version.

ICS was the worst, buggiest PoS OS ever released for the TF101
It turned perfectly stable tablet, into a rebooting, Sleep of Death, battery draining paperweight
Honeycomb was the only stable stock ROM
KatKiss 4.4.4 is the best custom by far

Hahahahahaha....breathe....Hahahahahaha
I know you remember all the people that were clamoring for the ICS update and then once we got it (after 3 HC updates that were perfectly stable), they were all......crickets. That was a fun time and I do miss some of those guys that frequented this device section. I still look in from time to time to see what is new. My TF101 is running KatKiss #36 perfectly fine and stable to this day, albeit now regulated to basically a media player. I should really look at the uptime on that thing. I honestly can't remember the last time I rebooted, but I keep it charged all the time and use it at least once a week. I do run into @just lou here or there and a few others that whenever I see them, make a point to say hello.
Glad to see you still supporting. Keep up the good work. That goes for you too @PRBajista.

Oh I remember it very well lol
Each time a new ICS update arrived, "This one" was the one that was going to end all the pain and misery, and fix everything
And each new update, it got worse, old bugs still there, new bugs added, until it got to the point where I couldn't even use the TF for more than a few minutes without it crashing
And god forbid you left it in sleep mode overnight with both batteries fully charged...because in the morning, the pixies had been playing, and drained both batteries, leaving the tab either off because of no power, or stuck on a black screen of SoD lol (And pretty warm iirc, if it was still powered up anyway)
Mine's running KK #36 too, still going strong, always makes me laugh that a huge company like ASUS got their a$$es handed to them by one guy on XDA
