Sorry for making a thread as such but i know little about the development on the TF300 and would appreciate if people could mention what kernel and ROM they recommend for good overall daily use (fast but stable).
Also, it'd be helpful if useful things for the TF300 such as browser2ram were mentioned. If they are already mentioned in a thread, i apologise but i haven't seen it.
Thanks

CleanROM, the Newest Version. Now it's 3.0.4
It's very fast & stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049322
Thanks for the answer. I think i will go with that ROM when i decide to root and install a custom ROM.
Is a kernel recommended in the cleanrom thread?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Yes, You can install kernel installer 1.2 from CleanROM thread, but I'd rather Asus Stock Kernel. Other kernels are for Infinity. That kernels will work on our TF300T, but only in 95%. You will have problems for example with front camera. This ROM is enough fast with Asus stock kernel. In today upgrade to 3.1, CleanROM can redduce Lags in games.
Thank you. Are there no other stable kernels other than stock?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
In kernel installer you can choose Unter's kernel. CleanROM developer reccomended Asus stock kernel. CleanROM based on Stock. Maybe you can install kernel which is made for stock on CleanROM, but I'm not sure. You'd better ask in CleanROM thread.
Thanks, can you overclock on stock kernel?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No, I can't. I tried do this by SetCPU.

So is cleanrom smooth without even overclocking?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Yes, It's. For example NFS Most Wanted 2 doesn't have any lags.
CleanROM 3.1 with stock rom works like a charm...
if you want to overclock you can install the TF300T.zip from Untermensch..is is overclocked to 1600Mhz...the stock ROM runs at 1200Mhz I believe. Overclocked kernels drain your battery faster though.
I have used the TF300T.zip Untermensch kernel, but went back to stock (CleanROM 3.1) , cause it is fast enough.
I think I might as well stick with stock then since currently, I don't even know how to flash a kernel on the TF300. Thanks for everyone's help!
I just rooted and installed CleanROM and can attest to the fact that my tablet is quite a bit smoother with it. I haven't had a single instance of lag since switching to it, but I'm still testing it out.

I'm using Cleanrom with the kernel from The Ultra Fast Rom - JB Overclock Edition V03 ! by Surdu_Petru.. I'd installed The Ultra Fast Rom first then Cleanrom. This allows the tablet to be overclocked to 1.7 though I have kept it at 1.6 using No Frills CPU ...
Thanks for the replies. It must be said, my TF300, after getting rid of every app etc. On it (bar alarm clock extreme) is, dare I say it, smooth! Well, it's much smoother than it was although things aren't perfect.

Hi all,
Well, i want to install a costom ROM+Kenel in my Transformer.
I currently have Honeycomb 3.2.1 and Kernel 2.6.36.1.
Anyone knows what might be the best ROM+Kernel? I've seen Prime V.2.05 and Netformer.
Just to be sure i don't something stupid: first i need to install CWM, then install ROM and kernel, right?
Thank you!
i have revolver and blades 2 and its FAST

Actually first you need to find out if your TF is even rootable.
If rootable than yes root, install CWM than flash ROM + kernel

me too. i have tried every rom, but went back to revolver.
I didn't know this tablets could run custom roms
Perfect Question! I have owned my TF for less than a week. Figured out how to root and install CWM thanks to some nice detailed posts. I am currently running PRIME 2.0.5 with Clemsyns 22 OC kernel at 1424 max.
Why I chose PRIME? I saw a Youtube video on it. So I have read and read multiple threads on ROMs here. Looks like the choice of three. So far this is very stable and seems fast. I have had no fc's or issues like that.
I am interested as well as which ROM people prefer and why? I know a lot comes down to personal preference. I'm looking for stability, speed, compatibility, updates.

Thank you all for your replies!
Yesterday I finally decided to go with Prime 1.6 and netformer OC 1.6ghz.
Well, one thing is sure, it's clearly faster now...
Now I get 6000+ on antutu benchmark!
Wow, you're lucky you have one that can go that high. Some tf cannot be OC to 1.6. Mine, for example, can only be OC to 1.4 before it freezes and crash.
Well I'm still fairly new to this and looking to learn a bit more . I am pleased with my current Hellfire 2.1 now I'm looking to exntend my battery life to the best I can and I was told this can be done with kernels, Soo I was hoping I could get some suggestions and anything that could help me out understand this a bit more.
I am currently using some Faux Kernel that came with the current Hellfire phoenix release.
Lot of people say to use Trinity with this Rom but no one says why nor in the xda page of this kernel say much about what it does, I like to be well informed before doing any changes.
also how do you install a kernel just download and install from zip from clockworkmod recovery like everything else? or is there certain steps to it?
First off this should be in the Q&A...

I'm currently testing the trinity kernel, The 1.1ghz one for the better battery. Using hellfire phoenix 2.1 so far its the rom I've enjoyed the most.
Any other kernel that anyone could recommend for the best battery performance I could get I'm pleased with the stock performance of the tegra 2 I have no need for overclocks.
Harsh kernel is the best. Flash it and see for yourself
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Morfic's Trinity ELP if your phone can handle it as it varies phone by phone. But I also use Faux123's kernels and they work well enough.

Don't flash it because you're using a GB based ROM...

When choosing a kernel you should first know that they all are, in the most basic sense the same, but have little tweaks that make them all different. I know that the Trinity kernel has the Voodoo sound driver built in that is much better than any other driver. Also when choosing a kernel you need to just try a few and see how stable they are as not all phones are created equal. Some can handle the Trinity kernel and some can't (and same with all others). When you find one that works well with you just stick with it. And, as I like to say, to each his own.
With the advice of one very helpful individual i decided to use cromi as my new rom, but in the set up i choose 240 dpi, that was wayy to big, then i went to 213, this still seems bigger and more pixilated on app icons compared to the stock asus rom, does anyone know what the dpi on stock is? Or what dpi looks really good.

Stock TF700 uses 240 dpi.
When did you flash this rom? If you did the bugged Cromi it will mess up.
Tylor
240 dpi indeed is a bit on the large side, but 213 dpi is generally accepted as a nice middle-of-the-road setting -- icons are not too big, but the text remains relatively easily legible (as long as your eyesight is more or less normal, obviously ).
I'd say that something went wrong during either install or configuration, and the new CROMI version (v.3.4.5 at the moment of writing) does have some issues here and there. (I'm going to stick to v3.4.4, methinks, until v4 comes along.)

The latest one's only problem in the Cromi boot logo. If that is not installed then everything is fine. That boot logo is not being very nice but other then that the rom is G2G.

Ive stuck with 213. It works.and i heard about the boot logo problem. Mine worked and i have it, should i switch anyway?

I think the new rom just released fixed most of the problem. I am gonna try a nandroid and reinstall the rom with the Cromi loader and see if I can reboot successfully.

Use either the Stock Kernal V4 that is in there, or the Hundsbuah V2 (seperate download) But the V4 stock kernal seems to run best as I can tell.

I'm on the last updated CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6) using unters kernel and EVERYTHING just works flawlessly and smooth. I like to always flash the newest thing out and been debating about 4.2.1? Anyone else debating like me? I see there's really no alternative kernel support on the new CleanROM 4.0 but how does it overall compare to the latest update on CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6)? Battery life? Speed? Functionality?

I'm still on the older bootloader too and running CROMI v3.3. I like to keep up to date on the newest software too but I've decided to hold off until they at least get an oc kernel and release a newer version of TWRP.
I'm very happy with v3.3. It runs flawlessly for me. I guess I'll just stick with it for the time being.

Yeah, I talked to Elesbb and he said his was running great without the OC Kernel too. Imagine what it's going to be like once a performance kernel is released. Wheweeee!

Agreed. Really smooth even without OC kernel
(OC kernel never worked for me anyways as it would make my tf300 freak out for some reason)
really happy with the move
Title kind of says it all, I have heard of folks in a few posts for 4.3 based roms mention just running a kernel with Data2SD built in. Bryce's kernel is the only 4.3 kernel i have found and it does not appear to have data2sd included....
4.3 runs pretty well without it but it would be nice to have.

That's kernel version 6 kind of supports 4.3 and has preinit support built in which means with a small script you can set the mount points for data2sd before android boots.
Pop over to his thread for info.

I used it on CM10.2 as did that. The new version is 4.3 compatible as it says in the changelog. Although he didin't put it in the first post it is near the end of the thread. You also need to inject his modules into CM.
If you pop over to his dual boot thread he shows you how to do this as well
Awesome thanks for posting again! I will give this a try right away! I'd seriously contemplating going down the path of compiling my own....but would rather not
