Hey everybody I just switched to DROID from using ios the past 4 years and I'm really happy with my choice. The iPhone 5 was the last straw for me so instead I picked up a feature packed galaxy siii. I want to thank you guys for the tutorials you guys have posted as it really helped in understanding how to flash the custom roms. I have my siii set just how I want. I just have one question if someone doesn't mind answering. When the official jellybean update comes out will I need to revert back to stock rom to update or can I update ota on a custom rom? Please excuse me if I didn't post this in the right section. This is my first post. Thanks for all your hard work.
I believe you would have to revert to stock and then do the ota.

Just wait for one of the Devs to do their magic on Jelly bean when it comes out. I'm sure it wont take them to long to do.
Congrats! Btw, if you're already running a custom rom, then you should probably just wait until the developer updates it, or install a new JellyBean rom when you're ready.

Take it easy on me lol
It kinda depends on how long you are willing to wait for the update. You definitely won't be able to accept the OTA update if you are running a custom rom, but devs will have a flashable version on XDA available almost immediately after the official is released. A couple of days later custom roms will start appearing.
Another reason to wait is there is always the possibility that the update will in some way disable root. This has happened before with several VRZ phones. So I would wait(a couple of hrs) till XDA gets their hands on the update before making any moves.

wait for a dev to release the official TouchWiz JB, then wipe data from cwm recovery and flash away. Fyi there currently is a TouchWiz JB leak by Incubus in the dev section, but its has bugs...If your looking for stability; Touchwiz ICS>AOSP(paranoidandroid,aokp,cm10)>Touchwiz JB Leak
And to help you, Synergy is a very stable ICS touchwiz ROM. Paranoid is a very great ROM but it might be a bit confusing for you since you're new with the tablet mod n tweaking APKs and such. CM10 is good but I like AOKP better for the customization

Nitro dont release builds based on a leaks...so until we get a official Touchwiz JB rom from VZW I doubt he will release anything!
Welcome to the Android community!
There are lots of good ROM choices and Jelly bean is available as a teaser if you'd like to check it out
My favorite ICS ROM is Synergy
My favorite JB ROM is Jellywiz
Enjoy and happy flashing !!!
You can make a nandroid backup of your current setup which saves everything, all your data/games. and try one of the current JB roms. I am currently on ICS cleanrom, and been thinking about waiting for a 100% working one to come around. The nandroid backup is so you can easily go back to your old setup if you don't like the newer rom.

He's working on an aosp JB build, has a working alpha right now, but until he gets his device this week, he can't work out the bugs quickly. You will see eclipse...I'm guessing pretty quickly after he gets his phone
He will have a TW Rom out...but I'm sure he will wait for the official JB build for that.

I second that!! Cleanrom is a GREAT first rom and it gives you a chance to mess with overclocking a lil too... Just go in SMALL steps... Although mine is a champ at 1.99ghz & stable as hell! You will finally feel the freedom that you get with Android! OPEN SOURCE baby!! No more damn itunes and buying stuff that isn't really yours..? :laugh: Have a GREAT time surfing the threads but just take some time to read the rules as well cause they are quick to break you off some!

i am eagerly waiting for ur rom
Thread closed as its going to turn into a Best ROM thread.
I've noticed that there isn't much dev going on for the Tf101 wifi so I wanna start adding some stuff to the dev thread and good some boost in here... questions..
1. What style if from would you see?? Aokp/Tw etc
2. What style of Audio mods ?? Sony Walkman/Awesome Beats/King Beatz
3 .Any other suggestions..
I'm ready to work with some participating help if possible
A.R.H.D. 3.6 ICS Custom KingBeatz Audio
Wifi itself, or the model TF101 Wifi ?
There is LOADS of dev work going on for the TF101, a good selection of ROMs to choose from
I've tried quite a few recent roms, the best Antutu benchmark performance after some fine-tuning I got was from Gierdo's CM 10 build of RaymanFX's unofficial Cyanogenmod, which is android 4.1. Right now i'm testing Josteink's unofficial Cyanogenmod which has android 4.2, i'm having a hard time matching it to the performance of the latter.
Katkernel is freaking awesome btw.

I have said it before, and I will say it again.
Benchmarks are kinda pointless IMO. I got the best benchmarks on ICS Megatron. However, JB 4.1 (I used the PA/CM10 hybrid) felt faster even though it got worse benchmarks than Megatron. TeamEOS 4 feels faster than JB 4.1 and gets even lower benchmarks.
One theory I have is that the hardware is using more resources to run the OS so it benchmarks worse, but it feels smooth to me. Not to mention some benchmarks have not been fully optimized for all devices running JB, especially a TF101 running 4.2.
I gave up trying to max out the benchmarks a while ago and just find what feels the best and is most functional for my needs. Currently, that is EOS 4.
Benchmarks are just statistics
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
Very true benchmarks IDC about there useless as long as the device looks puurty and kicks ass with feature were good so far dev selection are only CM10.1 from what I've seen the tf101 in general I don't have a tf101 3g so I don't know how well I would be able to support should be as but I'm open to trying
Liquidsmooth with it's kernel
EOS4 with Kat Kernel
No-Name cm10.1 with Kat Kernel.
My suggestions ^
I heard from my friends that cyanagen mod or something is good
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
I will get rock in on this tonight thanks for the suggestions
I'm currently running no-name CM10.1 with Kat Kernel and it's quite good. No issues yet. Was a little rough at first but smoothed out after the first day or so of use.
I find it runs better now than it did on stock ICS.
Been thinking of trying Liquidsmooth or EOS4. Anybody here tried running those 3? Which did you prefer and why?
Only main reason I would try those others is for more customization options/different look.

I'm using EOS 4 for several weeks. All other JB Roms caused many SODs and RRs. Is anybody testing Gierdos CM 10? I really liked it. But this SODs made me sick. Would be interesting if anybody made better experiences with newer versions. Got a 101G.

KT's kernel always caused random reboots for sure. Any build wouldn't be any different. Anyways, I'm enjoying the 16th right now. But if it keeps freezing, then I'll try the 15th.

Which MR build would you recommend?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
The most stable ROMs I have found are clean rom for TW. Scott UK so always one of the first to update to new builds. As far as AOSP, I really like Liquid Smooth. Really quick, light weight and one of the few 4.2.2 ROMs with the ability to save pics directly to the SD card, which for me is a deal breaker if not included.

I know about CleanROM (and have it backed up). I don't like liquid because of the use of nova launcher. Call me picky, but I prefer having an independent launcher over NOVA, which I can just download anyday.

If you are looking for stable and reliable avoid nightlies. I have found slim rom, rootbox, carbon and liquid to all be extremely stable if you stick to their "stable" releases. The nightlies will give you cutting edge features but those features will introduce bugs and quirks as well.
For me, every time I get off Slim I end up back on it within a week. Love it.

I've tried Slim and I just don't really like it as much as Carbon or Liquid. Right now, Liquid is the best ROM I've ever used followed by AOKP. Carbon's stables still have rebooting issues (haven't rebooted once on Liquid yet and I've ran it for 2 days now).
