[Q] The nexus 7, tf300t, and jelly bean. - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody think that with the nexus 7 having similar hardware to the tf300t, we might start seeing more custom roms?

If that's not the case, at least Asus delivers updates on time (no major customization of the UI), and we can unlock the bootloader with the tool provided by them.
It's way better than the strategy used by Motorola (I also have a Defy, great device with a strong community formed around it, but crippled by the official support).
Trimis de pe ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

I think they use the same tegra 3 (T30L)

No one knows. Anyone that answers otherwise is just speculating.

theoretically, it should be a reasonably trivial effort to port a Nexus 7 system dump to the TF201/300T. I'd give it a go myself if I didn't have a broken arm at the moment.

Well those specs do claim it uses the T30L. And the transformer 300 does use the T30L
Is the transformer clocked to 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz? Is the nexus 7 clocked higher?

I'd do it too if i knew what i was doing. Looks like were both in trouble. :silly:

Hope both have the dame versión of tegra 3 and release Jb for tf300
Enviado desde mi iPad con Tapatalk HD

specs on both tabs are equal apart from memory and screen size obv.
Shame as its half the cost of TF300 and even though its got half the screen size I should have waited! ha ha
It should not take too long to port a N Tab ROM over to our tab, someone on here has already got a JB ROM for the Acer Aconia Tab A500!

i'm almost sure that asus will update our tf300
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

Based on initial tests, the N7 stock rom does not have full usb driver support or sd card. No camera either, so would be either a lot of missed function, or a seriously patched N7 rom and this assumes you never use the dock.
Looks like the TF300 needs its rom and perhaps the key additions from JB patched to it.
Or wait for a JB release, which possibly will happen after the cardless and OTG gimped N7 settles in consumers hands for a few months.

Heh. I'd just like to see even a half-working port just to play around with. All the rest of the gear will come with CM10 anyway

Flashing other custom roms

Since the tf 700 is just about the same as the other ones in hardware (tf300 and tf201) , are their roms or kernels compatible to flag and help this bad boy out ?
Sent from my Gameboy Color
They're not compatible, if you flash a prime or TF300 rom you'll probably brick. However, development for those tablets will help out the TF700 since they are pretty similar.
Hopefully its just A matter of changing the kernel.

I'm sure developers will simply port some of their ROMs overall and have feature parity shortly. There are some changes and drivers they would have to make.

What I wanted to say.
And since I've seen that even Windows RT has a desktop I just shake my head about MS.
What were they thinking? This is a half backed product all over the place.
It's no FHD.

That's what I thought, what a weird resolution to go for :/

It's not FHD because of licensing requirements I think. Android is free to license (one of the reasons it took over the smartphone market). Windows is charging for their OS though I'm sure its less for the stripped down ARM OS.
Reminds me of when Windows phone was a huge player. Then it completely died to android because droid was free and Windows Portable (orwhatever it was called) cost 30 bucks a phone.
It may be a big reason why Windows decided to screw over OEM manufacturers a bit and make their own Slate devices. They need to establish marketshare before manufacturers will want to pay too much for Windows OS.
3 mobile operating systems are good.

I get tired of trashing iOS even tho I know little about it other than it seems to work.

Be advised...poor souls we will soon be cross-linked and blue screened....
If it has the same specs would it be possible to install the Windows 8 from their tablet to our unlocked tf700??

Very unlikely since you can't buy Windows RT and it's closed source.
I think what i want to know is not the quantity of RAM but if the DR3 is dual channel or not. Dual channel DDR3 would be a nice bump. But i bet its a 2gb single channel stick.

Needing a stable tablet is one reason *to* root! Seriously, rooting does not make your tablet un-stable - if anything, it allows you customize it to make it *more* stable...

True, but like the op, many people just dont want to root their tablet. Some dont feel comfortable dabbling inside the inner software workings on the tablet, while other just dont want to risk bricking, voided warranties etc...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
IMHO get the TF700T. I have had the TF101, TF201 and of the three the TF700T is the most stable and the berst featured unit. As for rooting, I tried that for a while when android first became popular but not that android if much more mature as an OS I do not feel the need to tinker with it plus the features that come along with the OS and applications meet my needs as a user.
The note 10.1. From what I hear its more stable and at that resolution more apps work for it.

Before the release of Jelly Been, the Glaxy note 10.1 is clearly a winner over both transformers. It's very stable and works well. Both of our Transformer are not working as expected, many issue. My family (4 people) has refused to use it because the browser is suck, the pad randomly stutter/freeze etc..I have rooted and installed browse2ram, it helps, but no where near normal. Seriously, my 600$ Infinity is sitting inside my draw waiting for the Jelly Been update. This is my true honest opinion. Many claimed that it's OK, but it's not and hope for Jelly Been release will solved all the issues.

He is just trolling you. Don't be a suckered. The Infinity is badass! Best electronic purchase in 4 years. It literally blows away the competition. The Infinity is the flagship android device that every other manufacturers is trying to emulate. The jelly bean update will make it more intuitive and is smooth as butter. Can't wait! :good:
IF you want out of the box stability go for the note 10.1... If want Full HD and a mini hdmi port then you go for the Infinity.. If you want an awesome Pen for writing or drawing go for the Note.. If you want the tablet with keyboard/battery to make it look like a notebook laptop go for the inifinity. If you want your tablet to control act as a remote/tvguide, dual front facing stereo speakers go for the note. If you can decide still... Go to best buy order the infinity and note at the same time and play with them and return the one you are not satisfied with before the return window runs out.

I was in your boat a few weeks ago (a tablet for school deciding between these two). Bought the tf700 and returned it a few days later for the note 10.1. The tf700's performance issues werent worth the $500. It had a lot of trouble loading magazines from Google play and anything else highly detailed. My wife's original tab 10.1 was loading things faster. The speakers are also terrible but wasn't the deal breaker.
The note is fast, stable, and more useful for school, but after seeing the screen on the tf700, I couldnt possibly stay with it. PDFs and textbooks for school look a million times better on the tf700. You could stay zoomed out on magazines and still read the text. The notes screen just hurt my eyes.
I returned the note and decided to wait for something better. A note 2 FHD would be awesome....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
The Note 10.1 is better for school IMHO, the note taking and multi-tasking.
I thought the Infinity was the best and the keyboard feature is awsome, but then again an Asus netbook can be had for 250 euros.
Here in europe you can only get the 64gb keyboard inifnity for 710 euro!
I ordered the Note which was 475.
The Asus also has a lot of issues, for a tablet of that price.
It would have been great if the sammy had FHD screen, but the digitizer was the reason why it was kept at 720.
For taking note, doing research and reading and annotatin pdf I see the Note being the better choice.
The 700 is good, but if you really need a keyboard a netbook does the job and you can use full windows apps.

Asus's version is pretty darn close to stock JB. They do app a couple of their apps(which can always be removed if rooted) and there are some asus custom settings but besides that it's pretty much like stock JB

I would stay as far away from the Acer A700 as is physically possible. Heard nothing but bad reviews about that tablet - serious overheating issue! Only 10" tablets I would consider right now depending on your preferences would be:
Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
Lenovo IdeaTab S2110
Asus Transformer Pad TF300 (if you're on a budget)
Of course it's always preferable to go in to a store where they have tablets on display and get a feel for them before deciding which to buy. Happy Tablet Shopping

Should I get a Nexus 10 or a Transformer Infinity?

How well has the TF700 held up in the past year? I've heard of its lagginess, but I'm willing to add CROMI to it, which I hear improves its performance dramatically.
I'll be using this tablet for media consumption (music, streaming movies/ shows, movie file playback, etc.), eBook reading, general web browsing, and the occasional GBA emulating.
Basically, I'll be looking to have this tablet for at least around a year before I upgrade, so should I look to the TF700?
Asus will release a new gadget soon. If you can wait some more weeks.
Otherwise, both are very good tablets. I really love mine.
If I can bought another one, definitely I'm going to Xperia Z. Take a look. Seen to be very good one.
My best advice is that you should wait for the upcoming Transformer Infinity with Tegra 4, it will outclass both the Nexus 10 and the tf700 in terms of hardware. Nevertheless, if you need to get a tablet now, and since you mentioned GBA emulating, I would recommend the tf700 because it has this really awesome thing called the keyboard dock. I don't know how easy it is to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the Nexus 10, but on the tf700 with the dock, you can map all the on-screen virtual buttons to the hardware keys on the dock when you run those GBA emulators. How awesome is that? Running GBA games with real buttons is a joy.
Other than that, the Nexus 10 is obviously the faster device. Just my 2 cents.
I would just wait. The next generation of tablets are right around the corner.
Sent from my HTCONE
I would definitely just wait. The Transformer has some pretty bad problems with performance due to poor I/O speed. So, if you were going to get one right now, I would get the Nexus 10.
Wait to see what the new one is going to do.
