So i know how to install the adobe flash apk and everything. i have been watching flash videos on my Galaxy S 2 and S 3 ever since i got them using xScope Pro. But for some reason the TF300T wants to freeze the second i load a video. The most insane thing is i watched an entire episode of Blood+ last night but when i went to watch another episode flash caused the browser to freeze. Tried with stock browser same thing, tried with angel browser and same thing.
Does anyone have any idea what to do? Im running CM10 btw. Never had any issues with any other device just this one.. And this was essentially the main reason i purchased the tablet as well..

I'd recommend ditching flash altogether, if you can. Try this: set the stock browser's user agent to ipad (this should be possible in the CM10 stock browser, through the settings). This forces most web sites to render their players in HTML5 instead of flash, which, for me, has been a much better experience. Also, if you do not use this already, install browser2ram. It's a must.

lol. ditch flash.. lol.. You have any idea how many websites use flash? I cannot believe android abondonded flash. That was just plain stupid. Lol.
But i just flashed CROMI and am gonna try it. I have a feeling it may be the kernel. (I was using untermensch's) so if it works with CROMI, then i'll try CM10 again with the stock kernel. I dont recall having issues with that. Thanks for the recommendation though!
Confirmed it's a cm10 issue. Doesn't happen on cromi or stock. Trying baked ROM now. Then cm9 lol.

Two things are misguided in your thinking:
1. Adobe is ditching Flash, not Google/Android. They realized that maintaining a plug-in for capabilities that are built-in to most modern browsers.
2. I understand that, yes, a lot of websites use flash. But think about how many tablets are out there, especially ipads which have never supported flash. If you run a web site of any popularity and you're forcing people to use flash, your traffic numbers are going to go down the tube. Most sites out there, especially those that stream videos, offer an alternative to flash; and that alternative (HTML5) is usually better.
You're clinging to your cassette deck while everyone is streaming on-demand. Flash is old school and the more people give it up, the quicker web designers will adapt modern alternatives.
Give it a try. Load up Baked6 and switch the stock browser to ipad and see how little you are losing. It might change your mind.

I thought it was adobe ditching android.. I wasn't sure lol.
But dude seriously the Almighty YouTube hasn't even abandoned flash. It's still needed to watch videos on their desktop site. I have only ever encountered one HTML5 website in my millions of hours online. HTML5 is just dumb. Not many people are using it and it's been out for what feels like forever.
Flash works and has for years. Abandoning it was just absolutely stupid. It's nowhere near dead.

Youtube through the actual site plays well (if you have Flash, of course), but the actual app terrible and usable.
Is the version in TnT also in the stock FW? Considering the device does not play Flash with stock FW, a poorly working Youtube client app will not exactly help perception of Flash being missing.
I wish my you tube app would play poorly, mine won't even open at all.

yea youtube was extremely choppy. My G1 played YouTube better. I wonder what the issue is. Could it be the Tegra2. I doubt it. lol

Point is people that buy the device and use stock do not have Flash or a Youtube client. The rate of returns due to Youtube, G sensor, Angry Birds and the crapular market effort will be epic.
My guess is 70% returns by January 1, unless a Flash, Youtube, Angry Birds and market fix is in the 12/19 update.
Even if they fix it, people testing the device prior to that date will return in droves.
Surely VS is not this clueless to expect a poorly working Youtube app, G sensor messed up, biggest download game ever (for now) not working and the paid market process to not result in higher than high returns.
I am not getting this at all, so maybe I am the one who is clueless
They needed to make those things right in THIS update.
I agree Rushless. Supposedly Viewsonic reads this website and I hope they do. There a couple things happening here. I am ONLY buying 2 of these tablets because of the rom availability. If I was forced to keep this in it's stock form I would be buying Archos 101s. There is some speculation that TapNTap's new license agreement will stop people from producing roms. If TapNTap or Viewsonic decides to start enforcing that, it would be a huge downfall of this device.
In stock for this thing is horrible. The non-modding community will all buy Archos 101a or a 7" tab. The hardware on this is the best hardware available at this time. The software sucks in stock form and the non-modders will be returning it in mass. Good for us. We can buy them cheap, update the roms and sell them on ebay!
Anyway, Viewsonic are you listening? Do something about this software. This is NOT a device for the masses and you will lose marketshare to Archos because of it. However, us modders love it, as long as you don't stop us from modding.
Cache issues seem to be the thing that some have pointed to. The app works fine after I initially wipe my device / create a new mod. But after a short time it gets all choppy. Something strange is going on.

TapnTap is simple to take care of: Get rid of it! The Tap interface is HURTING the device in performance and sales, not helping.
After experiencing the power and speed of Tegra 2 and the game performance for TigerMAME and PSX (NOT the 1.7 version), I can never go to a 3630 or lower chipset now.
Gtablet or another Tegra 2 without TapnTap will be the way to go, IMO.
All VS has to do is release a plain 2.2 with their mapping and basic UI relationship to their hardware. I wonder who talked them into this horrible interface? Must be a friend or relative for someone in Viewsonic
update:
The friend or relative angle kind of makes sense, since nothing else really does.
Roebeet needs to freelance for VS and get this done right!
Let's just hope these EULA concerns subside and we still get great roms from Roebeet. All these EULA concerns today has me worried development on these forums will come to a screeching halt! Then this device is useless to me. Well I downloaded TnT Lite 2.0, so even if it does stop. I have the rom! LOL!
Yeah mines choppy too. Video quality isnt the best. Maybe lack of resolution support. Laggy as hell somtimes too. Some vids are fine. Just not super clear like on phones.

I confirmed again afger loading tnt 2.0 that it works fine immediatly after clearing dalvik cache
Guys try this download overclockwidget from market, user defined frequency 1000000 , save Max 1000000 min 500000 then try YouTube app runs smooth for me I personally think the YouTube app sets the CPU speed to 200 lol
installed overclockwidget and set to suggested settings and still had same amount of lag. Wiped Dalvik cache and tried again...worked perfect! Seems like we need to figure out why the dalvik cache needs to keep being wiped to make this work.
On a related note, i've noticed that using the movies app by flixter, you cannot watch the movie trailers....any ideas? video type not currently supported??
i have been an owner of the Transformer for just under a week, to be honest i think its a let down.
Internet experience is slow and jerky, flash takes a while to speed up. (Ive tried all browsers)
N64iod runs better and faster on my xperia play (which is a 1 core processor)
Some games seem to re-download every time i run them.
Cant play 720p with HW enabled with SW there slow.
Live wallpapers slow down the OS, my Xperia doesn't!
I could go on.
I know the OS is relatively new, but i cant buy that. The tablet cost me £415 with dock, If i was a normal customer, (the everyday user) i would take it back to the shop as i would think it was broke.
My last point is the constant crashes, it even locked up while trying to shut down.
So please please please tell me there is an answer, i so want to like it, as the concept is brill, i based buying this on my xperia play, i love the os, but honeycomb maybe the problem here!
Cheers.

First of all, what android version and firmware build are you running and are you rooted? Secondly, have you performed any OTA updates since you bought your TF? Before I installed a custom rom on my TF, I myself have experienced serious lag and slow down due to multiple OTA updates. As with any pc based platform, its typically best to do a full wipe and perform a clean install to have it running at its peak. Before I took the route of a custom rom, i did a full wipe and fresh install and could immediately tell the difference in speed. So my suggestion is that you take that route first. Also, if you are interested in rooting and installing a custom rom, be advised that starting with the B70 revision, ASUS changed and locked down the bootloaders and they are currently unrootable at this time...which means you won't be able to install a custom rom. Find your S/N and if it starts with B70 or higher, then you won't be able to root at this time.
I have not had to many FCs, either stock or on Prime. Most times that I get any problems at all are in the stock browser, and usually thenjust a matter of slowness and the occasional "FC or Wait" prompt; particuarlly on more 'involved' web pages. Loading pages are also fairly sloow at times but still faster than my phone. My phone uses Opera for tremendous inprovement over it's stock browser.
Don't know about the 720p, haven't tried and don't know what program you used. Out of box is rather minimal audio/video playback as far as I noticed.
General performance wise, this thing beats a number of x86 systems I've had, espiecally while compiling C/C++ code.
If it's not something closer to the hardware, doing an nvflash to a custom rom might be worth trying but it can be an irk to deal with nuking everythiing you have stored, backups or no.
Internet experience is slow and jerky, flash takes a while to speed up. (Ive tried all browsers)
Latest Flash, Latest Browser (3.2.1) - runs good.
N64iod runs better and faster on my xperia play (which is a 1 core processor)
I have this issue, too - probably Tegra2 related (OCing may help?)
Some games seem to re-download every time i run them.
What games? Never noticed it.
Cant play 720p with HW enabled with SW there slow.
Get DicePlayer - best player around, supports HW acceleration and 720p is good as well (compared to others) - thanks to tegra2 plugins. Not free tough.
Live wallpapers slow down the OS, my Xperia doesn't!
Higher resoltioun and tegra2 issue AFAIK (might be wrong).
Check to make sure you've received all updates on your tab

Strange how some people experience things that most others don't. Weird. But anyway, you should return your TF. Get a proven product like an ipad 2.

i will check my serial when i get home.
for video playback ive been using mobo and mx player
games which redownload everytome are reckless getaway and the spaceship one which i cant remember the name lol its for tegra 2 and its free
if i decide on a custom rom i take it its purely personal preference? i fancy revolution for the ota tools
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
You are correct, custom roms are always going to end up being preference. If you are able to root, the best way to start off this endeavor is to visit the posts of all 3 major roms for the TF in the development section. Find out what each rom offers, and make your decision based off of that. You can always try out each rom to see which one you like better.
My choices are limited now
checked my serial and its B70.
Looks like i'm stuck with stock until asus / google sort my issues.
One last question?
i here good things about opera, but i dont like the way it loads (waiting for the page to load before displaying) is there anyway to disable this feature?
Sometimes you just want to click on a link i dont really want the whole page to load!
Asus changed the bootloader not too long after they started making the B70 revisions. So there is a very small window of chance that your TF can be rooted. You can always try, but the chances are slim. I can't answer your Opera question...I don't use Opera.

There is no option for this in Opera Mobile; I should know, it's what I use off the phone next to me .
Opera Mini is probably the same, but I would highly doubt it would support that feature even if it wasn't.
@blonqe: I posted something similar and goodintentions replied the same way... he has down syndrome, bless his heart...
Anyway, just accept you got suckered in to all this EEE Fad, iFad marketing BS. The Tegra 2 is a $5 PoS SoC... kind of like the PoS Atom CPU.
Tabs are fairly useless, but you wanted to waste some money
Oh if you disable flash in the stock browser it's speed is good.
I'm stuck with stock too ... REALLY FARKING pisses me off that I'm locked out of my own device.

Lol, this man has made the greatest mod to his TF!
But yeah, try running a custom rom (if you can) and see if your problems are still present. If so, contact Asus and maybe they will give you a replacement, could simple be some hardware malfunctions.
well i tried to root using the all in one tool, when trying to backup and root i kept getting an error cannot boot to pad or something like that, so for now ive had to admit defeat and wait for some bright spark to hopefully crack the new bootloader :-(

Just wanted to bump my original thread to say after alot of complaing from me i can now say i am a proud owner of the Asus Transformer TF101.
Thanks to the fact i can now root and install custom roms.
After a few weeks of trial and error, i tried, revolver, Prime and KRAKD.
The latter for me was easily the best so so smooth, OC 1.504 i tried same on the other Roms, but with KRAKD i had no issues and its just so much quicker in my opinion.
One issue that exists in all the custom roms is that the xbox controller doesn't work until you change the kernel. Weird.
Brwosing is more of a joy and with ICS on its way my tablet experience is looking up!
Still tempted by windows 8 but we will wait and see.
Glad to hear everything worked out.
If you have a PS3, you should be able to use a Sigaxis controller using the Sigaxis application on the market as well.
Hey guys I have never owned a tablet before, and finally picked up a tf101 with keyboard for a sweet price on CL.. and I want to give this tablet thing a real fair shot. That being said, I have tinkered around with android cellphones for a while, Im not a 100% noob but not as clever as most of you guys.
anyways I want to cut down on the amount of reading to do and boy there is a bunch , its the same song for every device/vehicle I buy, Purchase product, then spend the next couple months reading your brains off on a forum related to the product. (need to cut down on the reading... gf always on my case lol)
What are the most popular mods, accessories , settings (I will check into all the various kernals and Roms myself) apps. What are some life changing functions I can perform with the tf101 that would make me wish I got into tablets a lot sooner?
pretty much, I like the device and it looks real sleek and cool... just not sure what to do with it now , lol.
thanks in advance
Must have for me - Root - install custom rom - install kernel.
My PERI tool makes this a one-click from latest stock. I highly recommend you skip all the issues people have with stock and go straight to a great rom like ARHD, AOKP, or Megatron. :]
Other - counterstrike mobile, yes
This can be tough to answer because Android, unlike granny smith, has many things to read about and tinker with. I have had the tab for a while and tried numerous different roms and kernels. Each have slightly different responses and it depends on your tinkering desire.
I push my tab to the limits and try to do everything it wasn't originally designed for. Unfortunately....a lot of reading.
At any rate, my life changing functions were very quick access to RDP and VNC to home computers. I can also view my home security video cameras from the tab.
SSH to my phone is another plus for me.
I'm still contemplating attempting to install Linux on the tab as well.

I have it installed in an image loop and up and running fine on my B80 SBK2. It is slow and doesn't have any sound and I can't figure out what to do next in terms of getting a decent speed from it because there is pretty much no information out there other than getting it running. I know decent speed is possible because I had a WebTop phone.

Tell me more on your tether issue. I tether the tf to my phone using built in tether function through the aopk rom. The tablet picks it up just fine. There is a lot of confusion between adhoc and infrastructure mode also but there are a lot of articles on the subject.
Define what you want to do and what way you want the data to flow would help out for a better answer I think.

I have heard this option many times but for quite some time ago when I was using Wifi tether for root users on the phone I had to select galaxy nexus cdma and netd master so the tablet would recognize.
Now things are becoming different such as the aopk rom and I use them on both the tf and my samsung fascinate. I stopped using the separate tether app since the built in function did all the same things.
I personally suggest a rom like this to make sure your phone and tablet can all peform the same functions.
Glad it worked for you though.
I am looking to upgrade from my HP TouchPad running CM10 and am considering buying an Infinity soon as I really like it over the N10 because of the dock. I am however concerned regarding all the lag and I/O comments I read. IMy HP TouchPad running CM10 and primarily it is used when I travel and while watching TV to surf the web and answer emails rather than use my large laptop. I am able to have 8-10 tabs in the stock browser open at a time without really seeing much of an issue. Will this be something I am able to still do with the Infinity or will it cause the browser to constantly crash? I do not play games hardly at all on it and will sometimes watch divx videos while traveling as well. My main worry is about the web browsing experience compared to what I am using now. I hope it will be as good or better so hopefully someone can answer that for me.
Another thing I use a lot is Eye-Fi to transfer all my pictures from my camera to my tablet to look when I am not home. Would transferring large 10MP files to it be an issue? They go pretty fast right now when I transfer them to my Galaxy Nexus.

I can't help you with that Eye-Fi question,
but I can try to answer your upgrade-related question
Anyway, I think that as long as you're experienced in flashing custom roms (in your case, I am sure you are, looking at the Rom you are running ) the I/O issue is no issue at all and most (if not all) lag is gone after installing CleanRom Inheritance.
It really boosts your device, without having to sacrifice battery life!
On top of that, it has also improved video/streaming playback drastically, making this device as top-tier as Asus claimed it is

+1. Also disable animation, makes you think you have the fastest tablet in the world!! super snappy!
I'll agree with the above!
There's quite a following going here.
This is a ROM flashers tablet IMO.
For myself I gave up on the OTA's from the manufacturer and started going the route of custom ROMs.
Been extremely happy with the work done in development.
Hope to see you join on!
Ok good to know. I assume then though I will be disappointed until I flash I custom ROM to it then? Will I most likely get a version that I can unlock it with NVFlash out of the box as long as I don't do the updates and unlock/root/flash it right away?
Also any specific reason for CleanROM over CM?

I would say you may not necessarily be displeased with JellyBean in stock form.
A great number of users are more than happy with this tab in it's pure Android state.

Yes
I will state that you will be able to bring home an ICS 4.03 version with the .26 firmware.
True don't allow OTA updating until you weave thru the NVFlash process.
I wasn't able to do NVFlash because of updating then finding out about it afterward.
Good luck if you decide to leap!
Alright went to Best Buy last night and played with the Infinity for about 30min. It definitely seemed pretty slow compared to my touchpad running CM and it didn't even want to load 3-4 webpages at a time. I did not however get the wait/close pop up at all. The screen was amazing (one major reason for wanting to upgrade, 1024x768 just isn't cutting it anymore) and the keyboard is a lot better to type on than what a lot of people seem to say. It didn't seem overly small to me.

That is great to know I will be able to do the NVFlash though as that is really the only way I would want to root and flash this tablet. I like the fact it can't be bricked doing that.
Is it correct that I have read once I have the blobs from doing NVFlash I can manually upgrade to the most current firmware and NVFlash will still work? If so it seems I will actually finally have made up my mind of what tablet to get.

Yes, I think it's overal nicer and faster with CR.
Not to mention that it has a bit better implementation with the keyboard dock (if you have decided to buy that). You also get amazing support from the developer of CleanRom and the Rom Installer gives you the ability to choose what you want and what tweaks you like. Therefore, it's really nice to use it.
Besides, sometimes it's handy having the 3 'performance' modes and IPS+ toggle in the notification bar. Asus did some things right, so we should give them credit for that
I have seen the question asked, but no real answers. Has anyone had any luck getting games made by King to work on this rom? I have the last Flashplayer and have installed several browsers with Flash support but no luck. The Tablet belongs to my wife and not being able to run these games is a deal breaker. I may have to take it back to stock, even though they start to bog down after a few months.

Use dolphin browser. Haven't tried the games your talking about, but Dolphin is my goto flash browser. Also used to be a flash apk somewhere on this site, but no idea where these days. Flash should be killed off soon, adobe has discontinued it. So hopefully the games you speak of update to a safer format. BTW did you try flashfox, top result on Google store.

Yes, the Dolphin browser.
You'll find that Android doesn't handle Flash very well. I was able to do some limited Flash applications, but Flash games will most likely be disappointing with this system: it is Tegra3 after all.
Thanks for the replies. Ended up that dolphin did the trick, flashfox came back with " not compatible with Intel atom or nvidia tegra".
