[Q] Install Costom ROM+Kernel

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.

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.

OC'ing the TF700T

Which program is everyone using to OC their TF700T? Which clock is most effective without damaging/stressing the device too hard?

No one has OC'd their Infinity?

Everyone is probably in the development section
Ummm
Clemsyn's kernel here with the 1.8 oc
I haven't dabbled with voltages.
I'm using System Tuner Pro to push the CPU to max.
I just did a stress test under the kernel with no tweaks set.
No overheat and it didn't reboot until system load hit 3.92
I'll call that good for now.

How would I go about using Clemsyn's kernel with CleanROM 2.3? Are there any risks with combining something like Clemsyn's kernel with a custom ROM?
I didn't really want to ask in the development thread because I didn't think it was for question and answers.

Clemsyn and CleanROM work perfectly together. Check out the dev thread for either, and look at the results...

Joe,
If you have flashed CleanROM 2.3 it's important to be on the JellyBean boot-loader.
If you are still on ICS upgrade to JB. (I won't go into rooting, saving root, custom recovery...blah blah)
Once you have Scotts CleanROM flashed and working.
Simply flash Clemsyn's kernel from a custom recovery.
I will say the risk is less than moderate.
I have had a good experience to this point in time.
______________________________________________________________________________________
*Trying to stay simple here so I won't post links and other confusion.
I'm kind of a dummy or "newbster" if you will myself.
Once I got unlocked I was committed to either bricking or learning how to do this.
I made the mistake of installing Scotts ROM then flashed Clemsyn's over an ICS downgrade.
Dismal results there...so I just started from scratch...learned about flashing thru ADB from my windows PC.
I recommend getting to know the ADB (android development bridge) commands.
ADB is just a command prompt...like a DOS window that speaks to Android on a device.
It's certainly possible to crap the tab using it, yet it's an invaluable tool for flashing.
Used hiemanshu's method to gain root after flashing JellyBean .18.
Worked very well once the procedure clicked in my head.
Tons of help here at the development paradise known as XDA...

Is there a tutorial on how to install Clemsyn buried in the official thread?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T

If you have CleanROM installed.
Simply flash the kernel.
It works in addition to CleanROM.
Clemsyn's is added to Scotts ROM.

Ok. Awesome! Thanks. If it causes problems for my device, does TWRP allow me to unflash (if that is even a thing)?
Sent from my HTC Rezound

I built a flashable zip with the clean ROM stock kernel. I'll send you a copy of you need it, and you can flash it just like you do with Clemsyn's kernel. I doubt you'll need it...
As noted above, you want to be on the JB (10.x) bootloader. Nothing to do with losing root, saving root, accessing recovery, and all that crap, but there's a restriction on the 9.x bootloader that restricts increased voltages, and this restricts the higher clock speeds associated with the increased voltage...

Personally I would make a backup of the tablet without the Kernal just in case then flash the kernal and if for some reason it doesnt work or you dont like it then you can go back to the recovery.

Don't forget to do a backup in TWRP before each step.
I have been renaming my backups ie; B4CL22, B4CL23, B4Clems22 and so on...you get the idea.
I can keep them straight that way.
Backups are very important as I now know.

What app did you use to set your clock speed? have you tried "setcpu" or "System tuner" to see if it's over clocked to 1.8?

Overclocking

Hello, i have a quick question
I have installed CleanROM 3.2.1 odexed, and Unters stock Tf300t OC Kernel. I would like to ask how do you guys feel about overclocking your tab? I have installed SetCPU and limited overclocking to 1,5 ghz in performance mode, do you think i could do any damage to the cpu?

I don't think that kernel has overclocking. But I usually do it. Just don't constantly have it set to the Max CPU or it will shorten the CPU life by a lot.

I have mine overclocked up to 1.8 with Clemsyn's and it also turns the GPU up to 650. I personally love the overclock. It goes good with me running Hydro 6.0 with the cranked GPU, I think it's really only good if you have the GPU power to back it up as well. If you want to overclock it higher, check out Clemsyns!

If his CPU is at 1.5 then it's overclocked, stock runs at 1.3

I think that up to 1,6GHz is harmless

I will try Clemsyns kernel now, but what is the stock frequency of the GPU?
Thank you for the replies, i also thought that overclocking to 1.6ghz will do no harm.
Edit: for some reason i can not boot with Clemsyns 1,6 ghz kernel. I used the kernel installer provided by the OP in the cleanrom thread. Any suggestions?

I honestly can't find the stock frequency of the GPU anywhere, but I know its lower than 500!
Also, don't use the kernel installer in the OP of the CleanRom thread. Go into Clemsyn's thread and download the kernel you want to use.
Clemsyn's Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970704

Stock GPU=416Mhz

I say over clocking is doable until 1.6ghz. After that, I don't think it'll be great for the CPU

Mine is at 1.8 and it runs perfectly fine, no issues at all. Got any reasoning to think that it's not good for the CPU?

+1 for overclocking. I'm running the modified Unter kernel for the PA ROM and usually keep mine set at 1.6. Everything just seems to run so much smoother with it turned up.

Overclocking?

Hello,
the chances are big i am gonna buy this tablet tomorrow but one thing i want to know: what is the highest overclock of this tablet?
or isn't it overclockable?
also: wich app do you reccomend for overclocking (yes, i know you need a kernel that suports OC'ing)
thanks,

The highest reached is 2.0 GHz, but it was quite unstable. 99% of all tablets can easily run 2 cores at 1.85 GHz and the other two at 1.8 GHz. The only OC kernel here is Hundsbuah's and he has his own app to change the clocking, but TricksterMod and Android Tuner are very helpful when it comes to the governor and the voltages.

I just updated the CPUx.sh for the GPUs and CPUs. Too many apps will eat up your 1G of RAM.

What kernel/rom is best for over clocking.. ?
Thx for an Info

I personally like Hund's kernel 2.2 with Cromi 3.4.6 (JB 4.1.1). Really easy to change CPU/GPU by editing cpu#.sh files.

Thank you...

1900ghz is the best

You could try my kernel which is very popular I think and I just included OC on the latest public release!
