[Q] Replacing stock

I never really paid attention to my wifes stock TF101, until recently I used and wow...it is pretty slow (I have an N7 and was surprised how much slower it was). I'm just wanted to get some feedback on what ROMs & kernals currently have the strongest preformance and stabilty.
Have JB roms become stable enough to surpass ICS ones?

The Custom ROMs may be more unstable than the stock one. I am not sure, I have the same problem, but I am waiting for a Jelly Bean update for this tablet. I think they will release a JB update this christmas. Try overclocking it? You can Overclock it to 1.6 GHz.

I've played around with the JB roms (my favourite being ParanoidAndroid), but I ultimately went back to stock ICS.
What I found was that flashing a custom kernel that allowed overclocking and using Nova Launcher with animation speed set to "Faster Than Light" corrected any lag or slowness that I noticed in stock ICS.

Well, as you have experienced, I have some questions, because I want to overclock my TF101.
1. Is it safe? I mean, could it kill your processor or brick your tablet?
2. Do you need to have a custom ROM to overclock?
3. Does it wipe all your data?
4. If possible, do you have a link that actually works with full tutorial? I have tried overclocking and my tablet got hard bricked while changing kernel.. by the way, I read like 7 tutorials and then did what I remembered.
Thank you in advance!

I'm also back to stock. Had stability/performance/usability issues with all the roms I tried, stock is the better one for mine it seems. But I have well over 400 apps installed and it's running very well and fast. I'd look into why your wife's is running so slow with stock, tons of tools out there to help you figure that out like task managers/explorers/killers/etc.

I will do my best to try and answer your questions. Please keep in mind that I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device, I am just reporting my experiences and what I recommend. I do not consider myself an expert or a developer. I am just an android enthusiast who has been rooting/unlocking/flashing/modding for a few years. I hope I am able to help you out.
1. I haven't had any issues overclocking. I suppose if you push it up to the max MHz then you could have issues but I have been able to safely run my TF101 at around 1600 MHz. My TF101 is about 16 months old now and I haven't had any problems.
2. A custom ROM is not required but you have to be sure that the kernel is specifically built for Asus based ROMs. The developer usually states it in the respective thread.
3. Flashing a kernel does not wipe your data. As a general rule however I always wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing anything. It maybe not necessary but it only takes 10 seconds to do.
4. I don't have a link to a tutorial for flashing a kernel or overclocking. There are probably tutorials out there but it's pretty basic stuff. Just flash the kernel using a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). I personally prefer TWRP. Then i usually use SetCPU (available in the Play Store) to set the max/min MHz. I usually set max=1600 MHz and min=384 MHz.
There are a couple good custom kernels available in the development section. The one that I currently use is made by guevor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565519). The one I use is in Post #3 and is called "Kernel-2-ICS-V1.1-OC1700-fb_28.zip" - it is the first one under the heading "2.6.39 based".
I hope the above information is helpful!

EDIT:

Thanks man.. I have successfully flashed the kernel.. I have a sister and she has some games on my TF101 and she already lost for like four times her progress. My heart was beating so hard lol. Thanks again. You saved my life xD

[Q] What ROM have folks settled on ?

I have been running the latest stock JB for a day and would like to know what other ROMs peeps have had a good experience with. I see folks on Clean Rom and Cyanogen 10. If your using one of those I would like to know how well they work any broken features?
Cheers,
Feend

Why don't you add a poll to make it easier for folk?
Me I'm on CleanROM Inheritance obviously :laugh:

CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4 also
thnx sbdags for making it.

Didn't think of that good idea!
Poll added.

I'd been on the stock rom for ages... only took the plunge to unlock this week. I'm using:
TWRP 2.3.3.0
I first installed surdu_petru The Ultra Fast Rom V03 (I wasn't too keen on the new icons)
Then installed Cleanrom Inheritance 3.04 (Keeping surdu_petru kernel)
Having root and being able to delete anything I want has been great.. I was going to remove the stock browser and install Opera Mobile and re-map the keyboard dock key to Opera. I didn't needed to as the stock browser works great now. Really impressed with the rom :laugh: .... I've used m TF300T more in the last week than I have in the previous 6 months.... it really was a slow piece of crap before (I'd tried everything to get this thing running smoothly before unlocking).
I have to say Asus REALLY needs to look at doing something to make the stock rom workable. No one should have to unlock and flash a new kernel / rom just to be able to use the stock browser properly.
Both roms worked great just prefer sbdags theme more

I have tried most of the roms and without a doubt at the present time its clean rom 3.0.4 for me. unters first tf300 kernal at 1.6 ghz overclock and 520 mhz gpu works great and i did not find any thing at all that didnt work as it should. unters 4.4.20 is what i use and that breaks the front camera but has a slightly higher 1.7 ghz overclock and 600 mhz gpu. the clem kernals work on mine but i get fc on occasion and they also break the cam and do not support some micro sd cards. imho you will not find a better rom atm period though all the roms are very nice and people worked very hard to make them so try em and see what suits your taste buds, bud oh and i did find that my gps wasnt woring well but after flashing the agps patch it cleared right up.

Baked Blackbean 7 Tester :good:

I flashed all available Roms so far. Clean Rom is the best by miles.

Cleanrom runs good, nothing to complain about.

Running Blue Android 2.0, and clean fast.. .

Paranoid Android v2.54 with the modified Unter kernel. I've been running it since day 1 and love it!

I am using CM10.1. It is pretty stable and fast, and has new updates every day, adding new features and fixing bugs. Also, it's 4.2.1, which has its advantages. (and disavantages, the new UI sucks)

I've been using CaponmodTF the past few days, though I've tried cleanrom as well but CapmonTF is imo the smoothest of them all.
Swiping a page with the stock browser on this one has the smoothest experience. So I choose none of the list.

i voted Clean, but really miss PA...
incomplete list of choices

I've been running Energy Rom by NRGZ28, clean smooth & fast, have had no issues.

I'm on clean rom mostly so I can try the arch dual booting
Otherwise I'd be on a cm based rom
Probably jellybro

Now CM10.1 Nightlies......patiently *cough* waiting for KA06!

I was on Baked blackbean 6 then to CM 10.1 nightlies. Went to clean rom last night after I got the keyboard ($50 at office depo).
There are so many good things about each one of them: bb has rom control and customizations; CM10.1 with Android 4.2's new features; cleanrom for it's asus feel and keyboard compatability.
I am really happy with the development on this device!

CleanRom 1.8GHz is so sick.

[Q] Looking for latest ROM

Hi,
What is the latest most updated ROM versions there is for TF101?
Did 4.2.2 JB came out already? Or is it still 4.1.2?
I'm still with 4.03 ICS by Revolver and there's not apparent update of this ROM brand.
I'm more interested in modified stock ROM's than CM based ROM's.
Thanks

Asus has not gone past 4.0.3 (build 9.2.1.27) and it has been over 6 months. I have heard rumors they have abandonned it.
If you want to go to JB, you will have to go with a CM, Paranoid Android, AOSP or AOKP build.
I will say this - IT IS SO WORTH IT! It is so much smoother and such.
I was running the TeamEOS 3 (4.1.X builds) and switched to the PA/CM10 hybrid last fall. Loved the PhabletUI over the tablet UI.
TeamEOS 4 came out with (4.2.X builds) and I jumped over to that. It is fully functoinal for what I use (including BT HID and GPS). No issues for me.
I had the 4.1.2 from MattmanWRX on my TF101 and showed it to a Stock Infinity user and he swore up and down my tablet was smoother and more fluid than his (with 2x the horsepower).
All of the 4.1.X and 4.2.X ROMs that I have run (TeamEOS, LiquidSmooth, MattmanWRX and the RaymanFX 4.2 0.8.0) had full keyboard dock support if you have that.
Keep in mind, 4.2.X is a PhabletUI, no tablet interface available. If you want the Tablet UI, stick with 4.1.X.

@frederuco
Thanks for the detailed reply. I had no idea they didn't go past 4.0.3.
Several of the main features that are important to me is fully functional HDMI output, Direct WiFi, Overclocking and playing HD content smoothly.
Can you tell which ROM will provide me with these function bug-free?
Thanks a bunch!

EOS4 will be a beast once its finished, for now if your just coming from stock id recommend EOS3 (with kat kernel #70), hd playback/ heavy 3d games are improved greatly on these roms only issue you may find is input lag on hdmi, this was my experience when trying hdmi yet havnt seen it reported in the threads by anyone else yet.

I cannot comment on WiFi Direct or HDMI, but OC to 1.4 is very good. Some tablets get RR and SoD with 1.5 and higher.
No issues with video playback.
My suggestion - backup using titanium backup, install TWRP from GooManager. Backup your current ROM, then install TeamEOS 4. Be sure to wipe cache, Davlik, format system and factory reset from TWRP.
Restore apps with TB and see if it works.
If not, wipe and restore your Revolver.

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a different style of recovery. It is touch based, has a file manager and a terminal emulator in it. I like it because it can reliably access both internal and microSD storage (no SD or USB).
Also, nandroid backups grab the kernel (CWM on the TF101 do not backup the kernel).
TWRP 2.3.2.3 is required for Android 4.2 ROMs because of the new file structure for multiple users. It will flash fine the first time with other (and older TWRP) but when you update, your data starts getting in nested folders in the /sdcard/.
Another thing, when you go to wipe, ALL of the wipes are in one are instead of spread around like in CWM.
You can also set it up to flash up to 10 files at a time.
I will say that TWRP does not seem to like ARHD, but it has worked fine with Revolver, and all the other 4.1 and 4.2 ROMs I have tried.

I use HDMI (without audio so I can't confirm it works), it's overclocked to 1.5GHz and I'm playing 720p mkv scene releases in MX Player without issues. Can't say about Direct Wifi, I don't use that. All on Team EOS's latest 4.2.1 (haven't made the jump to 4.2.2 yet).

Guys, thank you so much for helping out. I will start to check these things out!

Thats exactly what im looking for. I have had little success playing 720p mkv on my device with no lag. I upgraded my TF101 last night to cyanogenmod 10 v6 and it worked great for a little while, even playing videos well with little to no lag. I played with it last night for a couple of hours and installed many apps and settings. I powered it down before i went to bed and now it will not get passed the unlock screen. Its completely unresponsive at the lock screen. Any Ideas? Do i need to flash it to another ROM?

Why would you install something as old as RaymanFX's CM10 v0.6?
Running that, I would recommend upgrading to something newer anyway. There has been updates to that CM10-ROM if you prefer something similar (see the nightly builds), and there has been CM10.1 builds which are equally stable and functional.
My CM10.1 is pretty good and does 720p just fine at 1.4GHz

After browsing the web last night for a while, as i am unfamiliar with android customization, i found a few instruction outlines that pointed me to repositories with builds. That was the newest build i could find on those repositories. I realize now that it is old and have learned a lot about the mods.
I will download the one you are suggesting and seeing how that goes. I appreciate your response!
Glad to hear that, that is the one thing that has not pleased me so far with my transformer. I really want to play 720p rips of movies/shows.

[ROM] Lolfisch v1.0 for the Jiayu G3N

Welcome to my thread for the Jiayu G3N, the new release of the G3 with the s501 chip.
I have ported GThrill ROM v3.0 to the G3N.
GThrill is based on Cyanogenmod 10. It is Jelly bean 4.1.2. There is currently no theme support, but I'll look into that in future builds.
Details of the GThrill ROM can be found here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163707
This ROM should have all the features of the official ROM, (and more!) the only changes are behind-the-scenes.
Features
- based on "CM10"
- Jellybean 4.1.2
- system/framework zipaligned
- init.d support
- zipalign on the fly (script by Wes Garner)
- slim and light: removed unwanted apps
- host file (to block known ad servers/hosts)
- some build.prop tweaks from different sources
- contains some lines from V6 supercharger script (by zeppelinrox, particularly kernel tweaks)
- Jellybean Keyboard (SWIPE feature)
- Google Chrome browser (bundled stock browser FCs)
- Language: English, French, Chinese, German,
Confirmed working;
Bluetooth
Wifi
GPS
Yet to be tested;
FM Radio
Known bugs;
Front camera is dark and seems to take dark pictures. Setting the mode to night and then back again fixed this. Bizzarely, the front camera seems to be taking 3MP images although it only has a 2MP sensor. I am looking into this. It looks like the camera software has been ported from an Amoi N820, which has a 3MP front facing camera.
With regards to overclocking and undervolting, I have not heard of any kernels for any MT6577 devices that have offered this. And I'm sure better men than me have tried!
If there is another G3 ROM that you'd like to see ported, or improvements you'd like to see made on this ROM, leave comments below
If your language is not supported, install morelocale from the Play store. You can use it to select any language you wish!
Disclaimer: As with things XDA, you do all these things entirely at your own risk, I am not responsible EVEN IF Kim Jong Un flashes this, it breaks his G3N and in a fit of rage, he declares nuclear war on everyone.
Install instructions:
First, get root and install clockworkmod following the guide here; http://www.modaco.com/topic/359590-...very-ics-spell-check-fixed-jelly-bean-update/
Then place the zip file on your SD cart, boot into recovery and install!
Flashable zip, install via the recovery of your choice. Confirmed working on CWM. This is a full ROM, not a patch.
Remember to backup your files and previous ROM!
You shouldn't need to do a full wipe if going from a 4.1.2 ROM to this, but I recommend that you do. (I didn't )
If going from a 4.04 ROM to this, you MUST do a factory reset in CWM, otherwise it won't boot.
Please don't mirror my files!
Enjoy
EDIT 14/04/2013 Lolfisch v1.1 released!
Changelog;
-Numerous build.prop tweaks to improve browsing speeds, performance and to remove USB debugging icon (USB debugging can still be enabled in settings)
-Fixed LED wakelock issue. Deep sleep mode now works, improving battery life. (Thanks to evirus for his help)
-Fixed Clock app by replacing it with 4.2 clock. If you're still getting forced close's when trying to set an alarm, clear the app's data.
-Fixed Handcent SMS incompatibility
-Updated 4.2 keyboard using a Nexus 4 ROM. Runs smoother now.
-Updated Calendar app to the one from the play store. Now the app will update automatically as it is linked to the play store

Interesting, I got a score of 5659 on Antutu. Probably SD card write speeds, I guess.
I'm going to try and improve performance further by making sure V6 supercharger is implemented properly and porting thunderzap kernel if a jelly bean version is released.
The mt6577 has been reported as being overclockable to speeds of 1.4ghz. That would be an amazing performance boost! But we need source code for that, so it is quite unlikely.

and for the kernel sources, we do have one for ICS..not quite why mediatek/jiayu haven't released them yet..
thanks for the rom, and Goodluck on the exams!
EDIT: Thudeezap is a custom kernel which allows OC and other tweaks, but ICS only..I wonder: OC ICS vs stock kernel JB, performance-wise, which is better?

Yeah, thunderzap is the thing you sent me, silly
I would definitely recommend Jelly Bean over ICS, even with overclock. The UI is nicer, you get Google Now, plus with project butter, you get better performance/battery drain. I'm loving this ROM's speed, plays HD videos with no lag . If you want it to run faster, you can chance the CPU governor to performance to ensure the phone is always running at max frequency. If you do, I'd recommend a tasker setup to change this when you turn the screen off. I'm currently running ondemand with screen on and powersave with screen off.

GOOD NEWS
Wakelock bug was reported to me yesterday. I thought it was fixed in Gthrill but apparently not. However, thanks to evirus, I've been able to fix the issue for our ROM. See the first post for a .zip file that patches the issue on both G3&G3N versions of Gthrill

If you want it to run faster, you can chance the CPU governor to performance to ensure the phone is always running at max frequency. If you do, I'd recommend a tasker setup to change this when you turn the screen off. I'm currently running ondemand with screen on and powersave with screen off.

Tasker is a great idea..but I noticed that I can't set CPU 1, so all I get is 1 core running at Performance governor

I'm not sure how kernels work but I'm pretty sure that the governor is not core specific. That's why you cant set core 1. However, I'm not sure if taker is having any effect on the CPU at all ATM!

tasker somehow works..I checked using CPU spy, frequency and governor are applied, but only one core works via SystemPanel app..so I still use tasker for "screen off" event, so I can have single core locked down at 250mhz when screen is off..

nice job! Thanks!
I'll try your rom next week. :good:
One strange thing (G3N, stock rom ics 4.0):
if I press/hold the VOL- button (+ the power button) I boot into "factory mode"
then, I can go up and down highlihting a few choices BUT can't select any, because only vol buttons seem to work
(no button seem to act as "enter" to activate the "selected" choice.
Any idea?
Thanks again!
How is battery life with your rom?
Are HD videos smoother in Jelly Bean?

Cant wait for the g3 version. Hope you finish your exams verry soon

Need advice: Google apps for MIUI 2.4.20 (Gingerbread)

Hi all,
I'm trying to give my phone a refresh after those 2 or 3 years it has served me. It started to behave a little laggy lately and also the battery begun to dye away rather quickly, so I bought a new battery today and decided to do a clean re-install of everything.
The Gingerbread MIUI (1.12.23) was by far the best rom for this phone and it was running very smoothly. Definitely better then any later MIUI I ever tried. So I found this MIUI 2.4.20 zip file, which I thought is what I'd like to flash and use now.
If someone of you kindly could direct me towards an fitting flashable zip with the additional Google apps, that would be awesome. I definitely make some good use of those Google apps.
Thanks.

Oh yeah, and do you think, that a lowering responsiveness of the phone could be a result of the battery not supplying enough power anymore? Like a constant undervolt?

Hey man thanks for the idea! I have installed MIUI 2.4.20 today and I will definitely keep it. It has all that I need, runs smooth with about 400 MB free RAM and the photo quality is great.
To answer your GApps question: go here, download and flash gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip or gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip, whichever you prefer - both are fine.
Also if you like sweep2wake this kernel will provide it. I am not advertise my work but I flashed it and it is fine.
Another advice: the MIUI installation script will format your system partition as ext3 so if you have 4EXT recovery, reboot to it and convert (NOT format) your system partition to ext4
