Best ics rom and kernal

I am not new to xda, nor tweaking android devices. I have a nook tablet that I have customized the crap out of it. I am planning on getting a transformer next week and would like to hear people's opinions concerning the amount of roms and kernels out there. I have been reading good things about geuvors kernel and will probably use that as well as thing o dooms peri to root.
So please help me out in picking the right rom and kernel.
Thanks in advance

Revolver 4 pretty well rocks, especially with Guevor's kernels.

I recommend Megatron or AOKP for a aosp look and feel, and
Revolver or ARHD if you like stock look. From there it's all up too your preferences.
Let me know how PERI works out for you.

I've been considering megatron as it is suposed to be a mod of cm9, which I love. Correct? What would be a good kernel to pair with that? Ive heard good things about guevors test kernel, but I was reading about testmeh by misticninja and it seems like it should be really fast and stable too. Any suggestions in these or other kernels?
Thanks

Also, what sort of plugins are available from revolver parts? Sorry it that's a dumb question. The nook was my first Android device and while I've done a lot to it, the restrictioons of the device has limited the number of roms available right now.

Megatron has modded cm9.
Revolver parts is themes and addons for Gnu's revolver rom.

Thanks for the feedback. Ill probably try a bunch of then out to see what I like the best. What about a kernel? Is there any that you would recommend? Any that I should avoid? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I just want to try and get the best experience out of my transformer.

Guevor's kernels are good and he is constantly updating them right now. For Megatron you'll have to get them from a link in the Megatron thread as some changes are made to Guevor's to get wifi to work on Megatron. Can use Guevor's as is on most other non-cm9 ROMs.

Depending on how you use your TF my favourites are:
Frozn or Gummy for me.
If you have RR or SOD issues then stick with your Cm9/Aokp/Aosp with a suitable Guevor kernel.
I done vids of some of the builds (link in my sig) but i will be updating the following over the next couple weeks: Frozn (if JC gets an update out b4 vacation)
Megatron (will be new)
ARHD (will be new) (screen tare was a killer for me)

Is it worth unlocking and installing custom roms at this point?

Basically im trying to get convinced on whether unlock the tf300 or not. Most i see around is people with issues and bricking their tablets
Im used to the g2x its my only experience with custom roms and it seems there is a lot more to the tablet than to my phone.
I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to return to stock..Is there an efficient way to restore to non rooted stock through cwm or that other thing forgot name. Also wich of those recovery's is best to be used. I would like to be able to return to stock unrooted at any time in the case I have to return to bestbuy or any similar issue .
I would also like your experience on the roms out there right now what are your preferences wich one is working best, is battery better than stock rom, is it worth it basically .
Do people that have bricked their tablets have done it because of bad luck it has a chance to happen or simply didn't follow the correct procedure.
I'm still a noob into this unlock bootloader and all this I would apreciate it a lot of I could be pointed the correct way of doing things
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly apreciated.
PS: I find ridiculous that interface studders a bit while on power saving mode quad core 1.0-1.1ghz come on.. Hopefully this isnt the case in CM9 ^^
I'm still in my 30 days for replacement so thought it be best to do this while that in case anything opps it died gime new =D

Hi,
If you unlock the bootloader, there is no way back!
I and I think most of the others brick there dev not while unlocking the bootoader than while rooting and then flashing the wrong image inside CWM (one f*** click).
Hope that helps

I tried the custom roms here. CM9, AOKP,
But returned always to stock rom.
The thing is I like the extra functions of the custom rom. But hate it if somethings do not work. And losing the Asus stuff.
Custom roms are still in early development stage.
Hopefully someone makes a stock based custom rom.
I always was able to restore via CWM backup. But there are always risks.

Although I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet, based on my experiences with the TF101 as well as other android devices...if you are looking for the safe route and stability, i wouldn't recommend unlocking your bootloader and installing custom roms yet. As stated above, development for the 300 is still young, which means there will be plenty of issues that has to be ironed out yet. Usually the people who do this early on in development are the devs themselves or people who are willing to take risks and pretty much accept that they can't really use their device as a daily driver. I have experimented with CM9 aosp, miui, and other aosp stuff, and I always find myself going to a custom stock rom because they are not as plagued with as much issues like the others. There is a thread in the development section that is attempting to reverse engineer the unlocker program so that it doesnt run and tell asus on you. Once you unlock your bootloader, your device's warranty will forever be voided. Since rooting does not void your warranty, I am happy with that for now and see what becomes of the unlocker project. When doing any mods to your system, you always want to make sure that you can undo them before you actually do it.

Yeah thing guess ill give this a few more months see how stable things get prety sure things will get refined by then. I just dont see it worth it for us who just want to flash something better that just works and not mess with it for a while. I love cm based roms on my g2x and it saved my from replacing my phone. Its just not ready for this device yet. I do hope the devs keep up the good work

What he said. Well, I tried AOKP but due to a couple of things I switched back to stock rom again (aside from no Slovene keyboard layout (yet) for the dock, it had a few tiny things didn't work as I'd like and it annoyed me ). I also like ASUS's weather and battery widgets and the Day Scene live wallpaper is also great (I managed to install the weather widget and the wallpaper in AOKP, but the tiny things were still there).

You're doing the right thing.
Unless you really need to tinker alot with it - root is enough for now.
It's practically a baby when it comes to custom roms.

Since we don't have a custom stock ROM yet, here are some ways to have a custom stock ROM like experience...
1. Obviously have your TF rooted
2. Download and install adfree from the play store for ad blocking
3. Download and install Titanium Backup from the play store
-Using TB, you can debloat and remove any apps you don't want. I recommend using the "Freeze" option because some bloat apps are needed for the next OTA update to work. Use the "Defrost" option to get them back.
-Using the freeze option, freeze the app, DMClient. This will completely disable the OTA notification from appearing. Defrost it when the next OTA becomes available.
4. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641219 for build.prop edits. These are performance and battery tweaks that may improve your TF.
5. Search the play store for any apps that may provide you with the functionality and additional options/settings that you may be looking for in custom roms. Theres apps for just about anything these days.

[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!

[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,

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

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!

[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!

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.
