Im sorry if this has already been asked but I am on the fence of buying a tablet for work and ive narrowed it down to the Nexus 7 and the TF300. Im 99.9% sure I am going to be buying the TF300 ($100 more than the 16GB N7, but it has 2x the memory, 10", mHDMI out, and sdCard, no brainer). However I was wondering how the updates are from ASUS and when we could expect Jelly Bean?
Asus tends to be on top of things when it comes to updates in a timely manner. Although I wouldn't base your decision soley on jelly bean. As with any android version update, there are going to be bugs and app compatibility issues that has to be ironed out at first. Then android manufacturers have to tweak the source code and kernels to work with their roms. Then they have to iron out the bugs then. Any products of 2012 will most likely see jelly bean eventually. Newest isn't always the best. Especially when it comes to OS and software.

The N7 will be the priority for the short term. Once sales tail off then they can focus on the T700. They'll get to us promptly but not a priority. Yes, just IMO....

I understand the hype with jellybean. But when did ICS become an old outdated OS?

put it this way
ICS is to JB what Vista was to Win7
(on most devices)
and that is the problem with Android, too many versions out at the same time that work perfectly well on the devices they are installed on

As soon as I loaded it on my Galaxy Nexus.
ICS is great, but JB is waayyyy better, imo.
I would think that since the Nexus 7 was built by Asus that they would have a leg up on getting updates out. Especially since they stick close to vanilla on their roms
Android 4.1 Source now in AOSP
Jelly Bean source is being released today to AOSP Per Jean-Baptiste Queru the Technical Lead for the Android Open Source Project at Google...
In the words of Jeff McIntire on Rootz Wiki Gentlemen, start your buildbots...
You'll find it on android {dot} googlesource {dot} com
3 Cheers for a TF300 Build :good:
What's replacing flash?
Nothing is replacing Flash. Flash doesn't need to be replaced. It needs to die and be forgotten. If your favorite websites still use Flash instead of proper HTML5, they need to get with the times and dump the resource- and bandwidth-hogging abomination known as Adobe Flash. E-mail them, and let them know that they need to update their $#!t.
I'm new here and an android newbee. I purchased an Asus tf300t a few day ago and have been reading up on all the cool ways it can be modded.
I've already rooted and overclocked it.
Is there a way that I can install JB on it as it's already rooted?

Once rooted, can it be upgraded via the official method (from Asus)? I just bought TF300 and waiting for it in the mail, so excited
Yes, a rooted TF300T can still receive OTAs. But you may lose root access after applying it, so use VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to backup.
Trimis de pe ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
I followed all the instruction and tried to flash the CM10 Jelly Bean update but got Status 7 errors twice and had to restore my backup twice...
So I'm hesitant to update to JB (waiting for the official release, lovingly tweaked by our community) so I'm sticking with ICS for the time being. On my Transformer Prime I was running AndroWook and loved it, but no such rom for the Infinity.
So, in your valued opinion, what would you say is the best ICS rom and why?

There sorta is only one, Zeusrom.
We're all waiting on ASUS to release JB so we can get CM10 and AOKP going.

Well, you've still got Maniacs ROM, 9.4.5.26 with Tweaks, and a couple others that are stock with a few perks. Any thoughts on those?

You are sort of answering your own question... Maniacs hasn't seen an update in awhile, the others are stock with a couple perks. Zeus is close to what Androwook offered, though definitely not as heavily modified due to the slower pre-JB development growth of the Infinity community.

Where can I find a pure AOKP JB build for the TF700T. I checked the AOKP website. There is no official JB build for the TF700T. I checked the Transformer TF700 Android Development forum. I couldn't find one either.

Wow, you mean there is no AOKP JB build for a flagship device like the TF700T? I'm pretty sure that someone is working on it. The closest I could find is Baked Black Bean( BBB). I will wait for the release of BBB7 and then take a look at it.
I have been looking too. I am a big fan of AOKP, I have it on my Galaxy Nexus. I am running BB6. It runs great. I was thinking of trying to port over the TF101 ROM, but I'm a noon when it comes to that stuff.

Might not even have to "port", now that AOKP is running off their own source. I suppose you could check the CM vendor tree for our device and start from there, I'm sure they're pretty similar.
I've built CM in the past, but I currently lack the hard drive space to do it currently unfortunately.

I am switching from a nexus to an S3. my wife has an s3 and I can't stand touchwiz. I know there are some roms built to be similar to the stock jb on my nexus, but is there any way to get the official ota stock/vanilla jelly bean on my s3? Basically I want to know if I can make my s3 like my nexus, without having to worry about using a possibly unstable launcher or rom? Thanks ahead of time.
stock ota jellybean is touchwiz on the s3. Samsung doesn't offer anything else.
If you want aosp (vanilla android without carrier BS) it's nexus or nothing.
The only way to get vanilla android on anything else is to build it yourself or hope someone else has.
If you want a vanilla android experience on your GS3 on the stock rom you could try a different launcher, such as Apex or Nova Launcher, as they are closer to the stock Jelly Bean launcher than the Touchwiz launcher. If you are comfortable with rooting you could install Cyanogenmod, which is AOSP Jelly Bean with a few useful tweaks. There is a stable version of Cyanogenmod 10, which is android 4.1.2 that you could try, or there are nightly builds of Cyanogenmod 10.1, which are based off of the newer android 4.2, but are not entirely stable.
There's a stock AOSP ROM in the Original Development section. Has some issues but Joelz is getting everything smoothed out.

So far I've only tried out TouchWiz based Roms for stability on our Verizon GS3. I've worked up the confidence to now try a AOSP Rom haha. Mainly stayed away because people said there were some data issues and problems with external SD cards with AOSP Roms? But anyways.... So which AOSP based Rom is the most stable that you've tried so far? I'm browsing the AOKP website right now.

I'm on AOKP right now, and I love it. I'm thinking of trying something else to try halo, but AOKP is my daily right now.

AOKP is pretty stable? And is it really that small of a Rom 152MB? I see that on the website like whoa for real!? lol....This is my first time trying an AOSP based Rom on my Verizon S3. Is there anything different I should do if I flash this Rom? Do I need to be on a specific OTA version from Verizon? K3, MB1, MD3, ect?
Very stable. I would install the mb1 aio.zip if you haven't already. Just because the md3 is terrible. AOSP ROMs are much smaller than touchwiz ROMs.

I reverted back to MB1 OTA, Rooted, and now I'm running Jelly Beans 15.. Would I already have the AIO or no? And does AOKP Rom include the Motorola "Rings Widget"?
This thread could get closed down as soliciting for our opinions on the "best" or the most "stable" can lead to arguments. Also we can not guarantee you will have the same positive experience of any ROM that gets mentioned in your thread. With that out the way the most stable one that I have tried was Avatar.
You would already have it, so you should be good. Also, AOKP won't have the moto stuff. There may be a flashable zip for that stuff.

Will it be a problem if I flash AOKP on TWRP 2.4.3.0? I don't like the newest version of TWRP because it doesn't read my back ups on the external SD card.
I had a hard time with twrp when it came to going from AOSP to touchwiz ROMs. It only read the 0 folder from the previous AOSP ROM so I wasn't able to get to anything that I downloaded to the download folder which is the sdcard0/download folder. Also from some reason you might have to wipe cache/dalvik Cache/factory reset a few times to successfully flash some ROMs.
Not sure, I'm on the newest twrp, and haven't had an issue with backups on my external.

I'm already on Jelly Beans by beanstown. Been on that Rom. It's awesome for a TouchWiz based Rom. But you can't customize the lock screen shortcuts on the AOSP lockscreen. And I'd like to add more to get a full circle.
theyre all stable.
youll need to flash the rom, then the newest version of the gapps.
there are small features in each that can make people stay or go from each. also every rom runs different frmo phone to phone. same goes for kernels.
Ive been runnning pacman with halo, pie and expanded desktop and im really liking it.
for a standard use setup though i go to slimbean.
I flashed AOKP today and nothing went wrong! Yes!! haha. It was a nice Rom but not as many mods as I was looking forward to. Not many battery icon choices but not a bad Rom at all.
I always keep liquidsmooth on my sd card when I get the itch but I have tried almost all them.

Does aokp still have issues with the video camera recording volume being lower than touch wiz? I know in aosp they fixed it a little but it's still very low comparatively speaking
Sent from my tin can with string
I'm coming from a device (htc incredible 2) that didn't have an update to ICS. So, we had great developers to get ICS & JellyBean on our device. Back then I really loved AOSP, but with this phone I don't. I tried cm10.1 and missed a lot of the stock features, mostly the camera. I'll be sticking with modified stock for the time being because everything works and the camera is awesome. I'm sure everyone has there opinions, I'm interested in them for sure.

That bug is still there.
CarbonROM, SlimBean, and another forbidden AOSP ROM that I will not mention because the XDA mods will get all sensitive.

LiquidSmooth and SlimROM are my favorites. AOKP is a little behind the curve still.
