Hi,
I have Infinity for some time, locked but rooted, and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm still not sure if I like to exchange the warranty (2yrs) for better user experience as this device was pretty expensive.
Why don't we help ASUS to improve stock ROM, so everybody can take advantage of it?
I did not tried it (because of the warranty), but Scrosler was able to tune his CleanROM to a point, that everybody that tried it was very impressed with the performance. If the speed and user experience was not just traded for stability, we have a good chance to convince ASUS to implement the optimisations into the official ROM, because this could help them to sell more devices. Maybe other people like jordanmw, that are/were in contact with ASUS about different issues so they could help us to contact ASUS.
What do you think?

Great idea, but I *highly* doubt that Asus would take advantage of our willingness to help.
I was beta-testing the TF101 releases and when I had problems, I wanted to send them logs and they were completely un-interested in even accepting the logs, let alone actually reviewing them! I never could understand it - they asked me to spend my time beta-testing for them and then when I had issues, they didn't even want to review the logs?!?! I swear, they were only interested in feedback if it was good feedback. Even after reporting major issues, they still released the bugged TF101 firmware (and some TF101 users are *still* having those issues and are now "stuck" since Asus basically abandoned the TF101).
So, while I can appreciate your efforts here, I truly don't think that Asus is interested in accepting our help. It's a shame too - there are so many talented developers here that could *really* help Asus with their firmware... I swear that Asus *does* read these threads and that they review the custom ROMs that these XDA developers release and then use some of the mods themselves (obviously, without giving any credit to the developers here). Granted, I have not one shred of proof of that, just an opinion!

Contact Asus directly and see if they have any interest.
I see your good intentions here.
The focus of Asus is on other products in the wide view.
Besides they pay lots of money to software engineers in the hope their products remain reliable.
One point is to report a bug and expect they fix it, which can take really many hours of hard work (I myself work in technical support, so I know what I'm talking about). So I understand, that they have little or no interest, because they would have to allocate developers for this. It is a completely different situation, if we can exactly tell them what to change and what these changes are doing. Then they only need to review the modifications and commit them to the stock ROM. This is much less work for them, and they also learn how to make the ROMs in future better.
Be sure, I would try it itself, if I only had this knowledge. But there are people here, that have this know-how, and other people, that were able to talk to ASUS about our issues.

May be I'm posting in the wrong section..
The idea is:
We know the developers here are pretty smart people, and we all want our tablet run faster, better, smoother...
How many people will be agree to pay/donate to Xda team to develop a custom fully-functional, tested rom with "support" for us ?!
Let's say 100 ppl pay/donate $10 for custom android 3.0 rom for g-tablet. $1000 usd is reasonable price to have cool rom running, don't you think ?
This would be a cool benefit for the "users" and cool help for developers.
Any ideas?
Im in! I have been thinking of a way to say thanks. And whats better than money?
I have been working on a hand made leather personalized case for roobeet and i lmost have a functional prototype finnished but this would be for all the devs.
No point to it cause the developers here are already working on Android 6.5 (Double butter fudge salty nipples) Rom. No point in them going backwards.
Interesting point of view, Sm0k3d 0uT, still,i would pay for a fully functional rom.
try using the search function to find out why it ain't gonna happen.
it not about the money Honeycomb source is not out yet so there is no way to make a good rom right now. it would be a frankinstein rom and would probalby run like crap
It's not about Honeycomb. It was just and example.
I'm interested in your opinion. Will you pay for a custom build tested rom or not ? And would be nice to hear and answer form a developer, will our "support" help or not
Don't interpret usually getting better bundled apps in a specific roms with needing a specific rom to get better apps. Most roms do a fine job with running on the g-tablet as is. As for the apps, the market it there. The main issue with Android tablets so far it the lack of Tablet-friendly applications. Take angry birds and pulse news reader, they run just as well on a g-tablet foyo based rom as they do on honeycomb. In the end, the version of the OS itself really does not make or break a tablet.
There is room for improving the way we can navigate the OS on an Android tablet, and Honeycomb is a first step to address that and that will eventually be available outside of the xoom.
In the end, if you ask me, I would really prefer to have more tablet apps than a tablet-centric menu system.
I can actually respond, as a modder (I don't really call myself a developer)
I personally wouldn't accept the offer, and I will explain why -- most of us do this for fun and, even though we take the users requests and advise seriously, ultimately it's our ROM, with out own "vision". A perfect example is TNT Lite - I've had some really wacky requests on either extreme, but since I "own" the ROM ultimately I can make the decision on whether something stays or goes.
I do accept general "buy me a beer" donations, but so far no one has taken that as an opportunity to force my hand on a ROM change. Or asked me to give them personal support "above and beyond" like calling them directly (except once, and that person actually didn't donate - he just wanted phone service. Not kidding).
But even if the coffer were high and I was the only one working on it, I would not accept it because post-support is MUCH more difficult than just creating a mod. I really appreciate the power users here who handle a lot of the questions that drop in the site and actually help me to alleviate that support burden. I work in Operations and did customer service for many years, so I know how difficult this can be.
The last issue is that users will never agree on what changes to make. One will want a stock music player, one will want the one he liked on the Archos, and another would want the music player removed because music reminds him of his ex-girlfriend so he's eradicated music from his life. It would just be too stressful and would not be fun anymore. So I appreciate the offer, but I would not participate.
Btw, there's already a big coffer over at notioinkhacks.com to get a HC port working - so far, no one's managed it.

You probably meant it for a different reason, but it's actually valid just to gauge the different opinions that the userbase has on certain things that they would want.
I'm sure to whom ever develops the first fully functional HC ROM, that dev will get their donations or at least should get some donations. However, I'm sure none of the devs would be comfortable taking donations promising to build a HC Rom when they know it can't be done at this time. Also, I'm pretty sure as devs they have tried to get a HC Rom ported to our gtablets. Most of these devs live for that type of accomplishment and challenges.
Don't get me wrong, I know your idea is a postive one and I'm all for it. But most of the roms that's are in the development section are already fully functional and all the devs deserve our donations.
Edit: See above. you notice how humble our modders/developers are. They all have high integrity which to me shows that I can trust that if and when HC is available for a custom Rom...they'll get it to us as soon as possible.

First of all - Thanks for this answer.
But I guess my question was not "clear"
I understand and agree with all points you've pointed.
Few other points:
1. You do this for fun, but we use your project not only for fun.
2. Your "fun" requires time. time = money.
3. Your rom is much better than the one that comes with the tablet
4. Without making money of it - you'll not be able to spend more time on it and make it better.
etc etc..
support: I'm not talking about customer support, taking calls and mails. We'r talking about questions like "what can i do if my tablet doesn't turn on. How to do recovery, etc..", questions you already answered posted in one single topic.
Still gonna be the same: There is a custom built rom, with pre-installed applications, FULLY functional for your tablet (can be with user requested apps if you find them useful) with latest drivers. Who doesn't like it - you're free to install the original that comes with the tablet.
Basically the idea is: give support to the developers (and yes, you are) with money, so they can spend more time on rom's, that we all are using. Make them better (anything get's better with more time spent on it) What do you think?
Like Roebeet said devs do this for fun. But like we did on the mt4g boards to start up development I would gladly put money towards a pot to buy a GTab for more great devs to come from other devices. you can never have enough devs and different flavors of roms.
On a side not I would love to see a group of devs create there own rom kinda like the MIUI team did they went completely outside the box. I dont mean I would want MIUI on my Gtab but a completely fresh idea, not just a port.

Nothing official but Asus is really good at updates and because of that they will be my future tablet of choice.... as long as they deliver ICS
Hmmmmmmm.....I wonder if this thread has been started at least 5 times already. I bet a simple search would have found out.

I do have to give it to ASUS for a solid product as well as frequent updates. The only thing that irks me about ASUS is that they went out of their way to change the bootloader on newer revisions to counter current rooting methods. The newer revisions haven't been able to be rooted yet, which is putting a damper on development for the TF. If ASUS continues to lock down their bootloaders, then I will not continue buying ASUS...I will find other devices that are just as good that are more development friendly. I'm sure they have their reasons, but as far as I am concerned, like Motorola, they will loose alot of business from the development community.

How many of you think that Asus Corp. is mad at Infinity owners for exchanging their Primes For the Infinity and maybe that's why they have not released the Jelly Bean update for the TF700 cause the 300 did get the update and the 700 owners are able to install that firmware to their tablets I think that Asus has the update ready but does not want to release it cause they are but hurt for what we did.

This.
IMHO, not having JB yet is a GREAT thing. I doubt this was their intent but in effect they are using the low end tablets (TF3xx) as betas for the TF700. Go look at the TF300 forum those guys HATE the JB update... they're asking for downgrade methods, etc. And ASUS is working on a patch for it for all the issues. Hopefully, the TF700 version since it is so similar is being gated by that stability update and will be much more stable from day one.
ASUS' TF ICS firmware was a wreck initially, too (and in fact it's still very much subpar).
Be careful what you wish for in terms of FW updates. ASUS is doing us high end guys a favor. If you want to go nuts with FW or be cutting edge, unlock. The baseline version should be solid if at all possible, IMHO.

Stores are able to return the defective merchandise to the manufacturer and receives credit in most cases. It is rare that a distributor is unable to get a refund for a defective device... we all know the prime is one.
But I agree, the statement that they are delaying JB on purpose because they are mad at the prime owners is a little silly. Companies do not have feelings, they try to decide what is best for the company and do it. They obviously would have a hard time being mad at all of us FREE BETA TESTERS that PAID to BETA TEST!!! Seems pretty unlikely. I just hope that when they have perfected the tf700 firmware and the dust settles, that they do something to show us all how much they appreciate the early adopters. Without us..... there would be many more unhappy owners out there. We did a lot of their dirty work for them- tweaking, analyzing, and even working directly with them to resolve THEIR issues.
Hope they realize who helped out and reward them accordingly.

Did you know that in addition to the period at the end of your paragraph, you're allowed to use additional punctuation when writing, the purpose of which is to break up your statement into sentences. Each sentence expresses an independent thought, statement or question.
Many people find that observing shared rules of spelling and syntax -- commonly known as "grammar" -- increases the ability to properly convey ideas to others. That is, grammar can help you communicate more effectively. You should give it a try! :silly:

Although this is highly unlikely. I totally agree with this theory, it's actually what I think about a lot since I traded my Prime in for Infinity at the end of July for free.

With all of the issues the TF300's are having with Jelly Bean I am pretty happy Asus has held off on the TF700 upgrade. I think the TF700 upgrade will be alot better off than it would have been if it came out shortly after the TF300's release.

Companies are people, my friend. They are capable of independent thought, and have feelings. they hurt just like everyone else. I for one, feel ashamed that i returned my prime because in retrospect, i hurt Asus' feelings. I should have dealt with a crappy $500 tablet, lest i cause undue harm to a multinational company. Not getting jelly bean Is punishment for our reckless behavior with a tender heart.

I also see it a bit differently from the OP. ASUS got us, in effect, to be paid beta testers, as many have already said. Those of us who swapped Primes for Infinities could easily have defected for Samsung, or someone else. I've seen many posts -- both here and elsewhere -- of people trading their Primes for other makers' tablets. The fact that we're still with ASUS, and many of us have tablets that are functioning properly, actually helps ASUS in the long run (IMHO).
Before jb update i sent an email to Asus asking a few questions. They promise a reply within 48 hrs. 10 days latter i got a response which is actually faster than the last time. They did not answer my questions, they did however inform me i was unlocked. They did directed me to some info which i didn't bother with.
I was not unlocked at the time email, and the only reason i unlocked was all the problems i was having with jb update. I was only able to update and remain rooted through the help of the many good people on xda.
I don't tell these people thank you enough. Big shout out to the people of xda.
If you don't want Asus to know you have to keep modem off until you remove the programs that send info to Asus. Please post names i forgot them.
I tried to, but info got out anyway.

Kind of scary...
You can't unlock while not connected to the internet. The software checks in with their servers to do the unlock, so of course they know.

As was said above the unlock tool HAS to verify with ASUS before unlocking your device. It sends ASUS a copy of your tabs S/N so that ASUS knows to no longer offer warranty services. What happened was they didn't get to your email until after the unlock, and when they pulled up the S/N on your email it flagged as unlocked device. I have not heard of anyone unlocking and ASUS not knowing.
Isn't this akin to contacting Apple support with a jailbroken iPad.
Eh, I'm okay with burning my warranty because of unlocking. It says multiple times, and in big letters, that you'll no longer be covered under their manufacturers warranty if you choose to unlock it. This really makes sense from a business standpoint, because there is a lot you can do to this tablet once it's unlocked, and a good chance of bricking. They don't want to devote the time or the money to support everything that can go wrong when you start flashing 3rd party roms, so they cut it out entirely.
Does it suck? Sure. Unlocking voids warranties on every phone though, just many manufacturers don't notice or take it in to account. Also, there have been accounts of people still getting service on their device even when it has been unlocked.
I like to think of it like this: I buy a car that has a highly customizable computer (timing, fuel mix, etc). This is fine, but I want more acute control of the settings, so I buy a mod chip to stick on there to gain low level access to settings that weren't necessarily designed to be modified outside their norms, even though the engine can take the modifications. In the process of tweaking the timing, I totally burn out the engine. Should I expect the manufacturer to fix my car now, since I just bought it? No, it was my fault it broke.
I realize that this is an analogy that falls short in many places. Android is, of course, FOSS, but it is designed to run on embedded systems. More and more these tablets and phones are given hardware more akin to an actual computer, so maybe the mindset of manufacturers should shift away from an embedded system and more to computers, but we're not there yet.
I haven't had a situation where I had to send in one of my unlocked Android devices for a software bricking, but I imagine most manufacturers will send it right back if they see that I unlocked it. Essentially Asus is cutting out that step by recording the serial number upon unlock. It's pretty big-brotherish, but they're not actively monitoring the information on our device. There was/is a big controversy over DMClient having access to all our information, but you can see exactly what information it is by going to devicetracker.asus.com (Note: Don't create an account if you don't want your information reported).
I'm sorry this has gotten a bit TL/DR. None of us like the idea of being punished for doing something we think should be a given Android right. It's important to keep in mind though that we're buying an Asus device running Android, not a Nexus device (regardless of the manufacturer). Asus reserves the right to provide any warranty they please, they're selling us this device after all. If you don't like their methods, they're well documented by now, maybe you should look in to another device. Asus doesn't care about you, or your information, they care about the products they're making and selling, and they'll support that product in any way they see fit. This isn't apologetic, this is just how it is.

I was a little surprised this came up so fast. i could understand checking on a return but an email. Another thing they had to do is cross reference my email. I gave them no tablet info. I am registered. Ill use a different email next time.
I understood the risks when i did it and had pretty much decided root was enough. If i hadnt had such a hassle upgrading who knows. Now im glad i did. Having a great time with clean rom.

Hi there,
Not so long ago I bought a TF300T. It had a nice 5.0 ROM from Timduru (called KatKiss).
I wanted a better resolution tablet so I got a TF700T. I installed almost every possible ROM, but at least all the recommended ones, but none of them were close to the smoothness of timduru's ROM. Some ROMs were fine for a few days, but after few days, and a few hours of use, it got so slow, that it hurts.
I talked to timduru, and he told, that he would develope for TF700T, but he needs one, and it costs approximately 180 Euro in his country.
I know, that the developers here make a lot off efforts, and I'm very thankful for their work, but I think it would be great to get timduru, because he made some real magic with the TF300T.
I know, that KatKiss ROM runs on TF700T after installing another kernel, and tinkering the solution, but I think the kernel needs some more work too.
Please spread the woord!
I had to find a service to collect money, I'll need to ask one of my classmates from the US to receive the money, and give it to me in Danish Crown, so I can donate it to timduru in Euro. And I need to pay for this collecting service 5% fee.
Here is timduru's xda profile, and a Donate button under the banner
If you can, donate to him directly adding a comment: "TF700"
(Otherwise here is a campaign: gofundme.com/nsyrso)
I want to donate but I don't have my own bank account, so is there any ways to spread this thread?
I think this is a great idea. I run Tim's rom on my TF101 (that my wife now uses every day since I upgraded to the TF700), and have done so from his very first version.
However, while I trust Tim (as far as you can trust anyone on the inetrnet), even having never met him, I don't know you. I'm sure you're a stand up guy, but I'd feel a lot more confident if Tim was convinced to set this up for himself so he'd get paid directly, rather than the money being passed through a middleman.

I know Tim might feel weird about doing this and I understand. But he should know there are more than a few of us moving on to TF700's and would love to see him over in this forum.
First of all this belongs in general not development. Secondly the tf700 suffers from slow flash memory which greatly reduces the potential performance of our tablet. The lag is not from poor development as @sbdags and his team are one of the most knowledgeable small teams of developers I have ever seen on xda.
But it would be interesting to have a 700 ROM with a different base, to see, perhaps differences.

Hopefully @sbdags implements a few kernel tweaks that I told him about that should make things a lot smoother.

I think this is a great idea. I run Tim's rom on my TF101 (that my wife now uses every day since I upgraded to the TF700), and have done so from his very first version.
However, while I trust Tim (as far as you can trust anyone on the inetrnet), even having never met him, I don't know you. I'm sure you're a stand up guy, but I'd feel a lot more confident if Tim was convinced to set this up for himself so he'd get paid directly, rather than the money being passed through a middleman.

You are right.
It would be easier to me to, if everyone interested in the idea would donate to timduru directly.
Here is timduru's xda profile, and a Donate button under the banner
I had to find a service to collect money, I'll need to ask one of my classmates from the US to receive the money, and give it to me in Danish Crown, so I can donate it to timduru in Euro. And I need to pay for this collecting service 5% fee.
So it's actually a great idea to donate to timduru directly. Just mention "TF700" as a comment

Yes, I know, that it belongs to general, and I appreciate, that people allow it to be here. Developement thread is the most visited, and the subject is about getting more developers for the device.
Hats off for the developer team. Their efforts are highly appreciated. They do a lot for the community.
But believe me, the TF300's original ROM is not a bit better, than TF700's. The whole tablet family suffers from that ****ty flash. I had both tablets, and I tried almost everything for TF700 to get a similar performance as TF300 with KatKiss.
I had the TF300 first with 5.0, so installing 5.0 on Infinity was my first choice after getting it.
I tried it with EXT4, as it was originally. I tried it as DATA2SD, ROM2SD, I tried F2FS.
After that I went to 4.4 ROMs. Still no luck, so down to 4.3, and I sold the tablet with 4.2 CromiX.
TF300 wasn't that good either until android 5.0. But the 5.0 improvements, and timduru's efforts made some miracle. And seeing that miracle, I hope for something similar for the Infinity.
