I've just bought a Asus TF700T.
I'm very disappointed because my tablet is very slow (keyboard is espacially slow) and sometimes the browser crashed.
I've updated my asus firmwire.
Android : 4.1.1
Kernel : 3.1.10-00001
I don't want to void my warranty. How can I make my tablet works fine ?
Thanks
Well, if you really don't want to void your warranty, you could first try to do a cold boot.
You do this by powering you tablet off and then press and hold both the volume up and power button at the same time. Release them once you get a 4 icon menu and do not touch any button for ten seconds. It should then perform a cold boot.
If that doesn't make it snappier, you should maybe at least consider rooting. This doesn't (completely) void your warranty and you can always undo it
When you are rooted, you could install LagFix and Browser2Ram, that should speed things up.

kiss that warranty goodbye
Good advice from the previous 2 gentlemen. I do believe its "volume down + power" but all the same..... i too have the browser lag issue. My fix is to do pushups until the page loads. I call it "Browser2Chest".....:highfive:

That must give you huge pectorals with two weeks of steady browsing. I must say that, while on CROMI 3.x, the stock browser is the fastest, and pretty stable at that.
I vote for voiding the "warranty" -- I ran into a hardware problem last week, and ASUS just juts it down to "user-induced damages", so that "warranty" is crap anyway.
browser2chest +1
yep... only fix install browser2chest.apk :highfive:

I really should take your advice and ROM it up. Seems to really unleash the device's true capabilities........ its on "the list".
Cheers all......
If you are worried about a warranty then buy one from Square Trade. After that, unlock, install TWRP, backup, and install CROMI. The difference is amazing and unfortunately very necessary for a usable tablet.

Factory reset. Update to latest firmware. I think there's a newer version. Use original browser and not chrome.

Yes, stock browser is faster then chrome or firefox, but it's still slow. My advice to OP - unlock it, if you don't plan on selling it any time soon.
I would suggest you return your tablet, try some others, then make up your mind. I've been very disappointed with the TF700, if you read the forums, you will see it is just not a very polished device. I have buyers remorse, I can't shake the feeling that my snapdragon 3, 1.5Ghz phone is more stable and faster then my $600 tablet.

Depends on which forums you read..... and which posts on those forums....
IMHO the TF700 and the Nexus 10 are neck to neck the best tablets around.
I've long been reluctant to void the warranty, but ever since I unlocked my TF700 and flashed CleanROM Inheritance - boy, what fun!
Browser lag? Non-existent! The stock browser screams! And even Chrome is twice as fast.
Everything else is as smooth as butter, apps just snap open, scrolling is smooth.... This is how the tablet should have been in the first place.
Read the guides on flashing custom ROMs on this forum. Read some more and when you think you read enough, read it all again.
I've been paranoid about bricking my tablet, but if you read those "bricked my device" threads, you realize, a lot of these guys obviously learn by doing, because most of their mistakes are covered in one or the other of the threads.

I second this 100%. I just decided to do all this (void my warranty and install CROMI), and absolutely, the stock browser is MUCH faster (no more messages telling me to wait every time I touch the screen while it's loading a webpage, it scrolls like butter, and even seems to load pages faster). I'm pretty convinced that the smoothness/snappiness of the UI is also significantly improved compared to Jelly Bean, but the diference there is a little less obvious. We'll see how things as I install more and more apps - it's early days, and I'm installing apps slowly.
Having said all that, however, I wonder how much of the speed improvement in stock browser are due to Browser2RAM as opposed to CROMI per se.

It's both. I have modded the browser as well. Go to settings advanced and you will see some new settings to see what I have set as default.
With supposedly 4.2.1 coming to the tf700 soon hopefully it will clear up a lot of problems stock wise. Some people have no trouble on 4.1.1, some do. If 4.2.1 clear a lot of problem stock wise, I cant wait to see the Cromi of 4.2.1

Curious, are any games and such any 'smoother' or faster?
I notice a lot of stutter and lag on my stock tablet. Like "Heros call", "Dragon Slayer" and even GTA all have bad stutter at times.
I too feel the buyers remorse, I bought this tablet just 4 days ago, and I want it to be perfectly alright before rooting it, which I do intend, if I can't get the money back, or atleast first get one without the worst backlightbleed I've seen yet which the one I has have. I was worried about the 1gb of RAM that this tablet has, but after checking the RAM used on my phone (Nexus 4) quite a few times, and never seeing it go over 1gb of usage, I didn't think that would become a problem. But now with the tablet in my hands I can see it is not possible to have a browser with 4-5 tabs idle while searching for music in spotify with having them reloading as I open up the browser again. Nor is it easy to live with all the black screens when changing apps and the freezes that happen when you just don't want them to.
This thing cost me 1200$ (Yes, I live in europe, things are not cheap over here, and yes, that was the cheapest I could possibly get it) and at that premium price, I really hoped that it atleast would be on-par with the HOX
I am no troll, just not convinced that this tablet is worth the premium, even the iPad which is always joked about being overpriced is cheaper than this tablet (only the 128gb version was more expensive) It's very depressing, even though I know this tablet can be used for so much more than being and app-central, it all comes down to how the tablet basically performs.
TLR I regret buying, maybe I should have waited for the next generation.
I hope it was easy enough to read, I'm not the best at building big posts.
Offtopic: How is the performance of Netflix on your TF700T?
Most lag is due the tegra3 having to push a full hd screen. That is why when gaming and browsing it lags. Few screens on any other tablet out there has as nice of a screen as the tf700. Soon 4.2.1 will be released by ASUS, even sooner for Cromi users, and I hope it helps some.

I got rid of my prime for an Infinity and when i first got the infinity, it was flying. Fast, stable, wonderful...especially compared to the prime. After about 1.5 wks of daily use, ive been getting random lock ups and slow downs and have had to reboot or cold boot several times now. I have been very careful to not load too many apps or games and if i think an app or game is causing the problem then i immediately delete it.
I recall this happening to the Prime and am wondering if this is how its going to be with these ASUS tablets? They are so great at first then slow down and become laggy causing the user experience to sufffer greatly. Does anyone think JB is going to fix this problem?
Jelly Bean will make this tablet like BUDDDDER
I would wipe/factory reset
Start of fresh, JB is around the corner.
I keep reading posts about how poor the performance is with the TF700 and I keep wondering if I'm using the same tablet?!?!
Not sure if it's the Zeus ROM or what, but I don't have any performance issues to speak of!
For those having performance issues - maybe try the Zeus ROM and see if that helps (at least until JB comes out)...

I'm whipping up a list of generic complaints for when the Jellybeans are spilled.
I'm just like everyone else...scouring that play store for the one!
Been unloading a lot of stuff that I thought was groovy.
To me the tab seems the same or a bit better than it's first day in my clutches.
Finally settled on the ICS+ browser...the rest of them have features yet to me cause some frowning.
Heck I dunno...
mines started off smooth as well, then came a lot of freezes and force closings. I did a factory reset about a week ago, and its seems back to the way it originally was. Everything is fine now. I do hope JB comes soon though.

Well, I was going to say it seems to come and go with mine but I've gotten about 10 browser not responding messages trying to reply. It started off really good when I first go it but it has gotten progressively worse since then. One thing I notice is it seems to be the ads in web pages that kill the browser. I guess that flash is causing the problem? The android browsing experience leaves a lot to be desired.
I call it the Windows XP syndrome.
XP was zippity fast on a clean install, but add a few years into it of loading it with all kinds of applications, AV changes, system restores, repairs, etc.
and you get a XP that takes a good 2-3 minutes post startup to run, and it will slow down over heavy usage.
I also experience this with Firefox in Windows 7, that browser was a beast with all those add-ons and the only browser with a true Ad-blockers, but as Firefox approach version 13, it's become a slug and can't handle many tabs.
I have not noticed a slow down....yet. But I have disabled a lot of crap that seems to start on its own.
This device is now three weeks old or so and there is yet to find a glitch.
A little tweaking goes a long way.

The Zeus Rom also removes a lot of bloatware, as you said, don't underestimate how bogged down your system can become with all that stuff running in the background.
Hmmmm....
As one of the un-knowledgeable as far as development:
Would Android being Linux (I guess) be more subject to bugs and failures because it's RAM friendly and lighthearted.
In other words since Android seems less complex would its speed versus hardware cause cross links or file IO failures more readily?
I know Windows has driven me nutz for years...always wanted to try Linux yet never have.
What exactly will JellyBean do?
No problems here. Since last update mine is rock solid stable, and performance is quite good. Had chance to use heavily at a 3 day conference and it was great though battery is not as good as my tf101. Also had my first chance to spend some solid time with an ipad2(not new one) . Utterly worthless. It was soo limited and locked down. Performance was fine but not as good as my infinity. 4x3 sucks.
I'm wondering if those with issues have one or more bad apps installed, I know it's happened to me before. They run crap in background and are not optimized.
Lots of problems here as well. I had actually typed in great detail, all the issues I have come across and the damn browser force closed so I lost everything I typed. My tablets acting up really bad, so I'm gonna end it here. This tf700 is the prime with fixed wifi and a nicer screen... please let JB fix this or its going back to Amazon.... infinity tablet #2.... there won't be a #3 if JB isn't stellar!
So disappointed with Asus...

The Linux kernel isn't the problem. I would even say that Linux is more stable than Windows.
Jelly Bean has the target to make Android as smooth as iOS devices.

JB will make only the transitions smoother, other than that, i don't think we are going to see any performance boost or at least decrease in lags and hickups. This is due to HW to some extent (imho) and yes, the crappy apps.
I can tell you right away that after removing the live wallpaper that i used as workaround for cropped wallpapers in portrait mode, my tablet is now much faster on home screens that it was before. I also went and disabled some of the Asus apps. I know there are probably some other apps that are running in the BG and should be removed, too, but i simply need them, so no options here.
It also seems that factory reset is helping for some people, so maybe i'll give it a try, too, right before the JB update.
I am still on system that came from the factory.
Of course I don't think the tablet is crap, cause it is not, it is great, but it really needs some gentle hands sometimes to get it up to speed.
There is one thing that makes me VERY angry sometimes, so angry that maybe someday the tablet will fly into the wall....
I have enabled the screenshot function of the back button. Well, sometimes, when i want to just go back, "fracking back!", it creates a screenshot, which makes a tablet even more unresponsive. Frack!
I was also having a lot of trouble at first with my Infinity. Then I did a couple of things. One, i got rid of the dual battery widget that I used all the time on my Prime; two, I deleted or disabled every unnecessary app I could find. There are a number of good forum threads that can tell you what to disable. I also settled on Apex Pro Launcher which now seems very stable after deleting dual batter widget.
Mine slowed down after a couple weeks which was very frustrating because I really liked it when I traded my Prime for it. I have moved away from Asus altogether now good luck with jellybean hope it works out for you guys

Buh bye!
I guess i made a big ****ing mistake again, First i got the infinity then i returned it to get the note 10.1 . I was raving and writing positive reviews on that tablet as it is truly a fast tablet, no force close , stereo speaker is loud with good definition then last night i picked up my ipad3 and started browsing , after an hour i went back to my note 10.1 thats when the problem starts as i can now see the how bad 1280x800 resolution is compared to my ipad3 or infinity. So i went back and returned the note for the infinity and now...... after......... couple ....of ....days.........it was ****ing laggy and keeps on force closing browsing is started to became painfully slow , typing is not fun as i keeps on skipping letters as the touch screen is not that responsive. I want to go back to the note but i guess i dont have the guts anymore to returned it again...... Now i'm stuck.
I think the reason why the note is faster is because of its low resolution and why the infinity is slow is because the tegra 3 is not capable enough to handle full hd.........

Thats not the only reason, Prime was lower resolution and that device was slow too.
Loading your tablet up with craplets will slow it down.
It's pretty obvious that if it is performing like you want initially after a fresh factory reset, but then after loading it up with stuff it slows down, then it is most likely the stuff you added, not the box itself. It's just like a windows box basically, as someone else noted. Windows machines are a wreck after a while with all the little DLLs, services, drivers, etc that muck up an installation over time. I really have gotten to where I settle on just one or two go to apps in each category rather than install and leave multiple redundant apps on the machine.
I also avoid "freemium" games like the plague. Those things are like user installed malware. They leave stuff running on your machine all the time, pop notifiers, etc.
An occasional reboot or cold boot might be a healthy thing to do, too, since depending on your system config, Android may not be aggressive about reclaiming memory, etc, and you don't want it to hit eMMC as hard since it is slow on the TFs.
Hey guys,
I really wanted the tf700 since Asus first showed it to the crowd.
But now, I am starting to have second thoughts, since I am reading from a lot of different sources that there are a lot of I/O issues and that maybe Asus just chose the wrong components to make use of the Tegra 3 power.
What do you think?
Should I buy the Asus Infinity or should I go for the Samsung Note 10.1?
Which has no Tegra 3, but has no I/O issues either.
Thanks a lot guys.
Doesn't matter how long or short your answer might be, please just leave something as a reply
EDIT: I even made a little poll, so it has become even easier for the people of few words to get the message across
You really need to try both devices and decide for yourself - otherwise, you'll always be wondering if you were better off with the other device!
In my opinion, the two devices are geared toward different type of users. If you really have a use for the Spen, the Note may be the better choice for you. If you would rather have a keyboard dock (with an extra battery and ports), then the TF700 may be the better choice.
In my case, the TF700 was a no-brainer - I have no use for the Spen whatsoever but I have the need for the keyboard dock (for taking notes at work, etc). I have no desire to try and take handwritten notes on a tablet. I'd much rather type my notes and have them easily searchable, etc.
Again, this is a decision that *you* have to make based on your needs. You will not be happy until you try both devices though...

I am just worried about the I/O and browsing speed, which is not the fastest. However, that might also be due to the internet connection I have tested it on
How did you experience your first browsing experience on your tf700
Personally, I installed Boat browser, which is *much* faster than the stock browser or the Chrome browser. It makes the browsing experience very fast and stable...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I guess I've been lucky with the 700 I have.
I'm not a power user however.
I have found some very good tips here on XDA that have really made the ICS experience bearable COL
I would recommend this tablet over a few others I've owned.
My purchase was kind of based on the future of the Android OS and the best available hardware for a tablet.
Frankly if I had been reading about the tablet in this forum section I may have been very hesitant about the purchase.
In any case if you buy...make sure a return will be easy for you.
Ive had mine for over a week and I am very pleased with it. Weird issues sometimes where it wont turn on after turning screen off, but thats it. It browses fast on chrome and the screen is insane. I haven't looked back.

Thank you for the advise!
I guess I may root the tf700 the moment I decide to buy one!
And then put Zeus' ROM on it.
(BTW: weren't you coming from the Xoom as well? I think I've seen you around on those forums also! )
Remember - in order to install custom ROMs (such as Zeus), you need to unlock the bootloader, which voids your warranty (Asus keeps track of the serial number when you unlock the bootloader).
So, before unlocking, make sure that a) your device doesn't have any major flaws and b) I'd highly recommend some sort of third party warranty, such as Square Trade, so that if your tablet has some sort of hardware issue at a later point, you can get it replaced/repaired as Asus won't touch it.
It really is worth it to install Zeus ROM - it makes the TF700 experience *much* better - just make sure you cover yourself, as Asus completely writes you off once you unlock....

Guess that only makes sense, since there's no official code to be found yet for the tf700.

I think your reactions have convinced me to go and buy a TF700, although I am still waiting for some more votes, to check if everybody agrees
(BTW: what is Browser2RAM ?)
Browser2RAM is a tweak to cache web data to RAM instead of the storage inside the device (which is supposedly the cause of some of the TF700 performance issues).

So I guess I should go and find out myself which I like better.

... make me want a TF700
However, the 2 GB of RAM and S-Pen make me want to go for that Samsung
I guess when weighing out the pros and cons I *should* go for the Asus.

I've installed zues v4 and I've fallen in love all over again. I have had zero complaints since installing it. I couldnt run nova 3 or modern combat 3 before. Now they run great. This tablet is on its way to being perfect.

Thanks!
I know it's not a true image of what all XDA experts think, but that's not what I wanted either!
I wanted to know: do you - the TF700 owners- think I should stick with my initial choice or not.
Just to see: is there a high possibility that I will dislike the purchase after a couple of weeks or not.
Apparently 85% of TF700 owners would still pick the TF700, so in my opinion that's good enough to convince me to stick with the TF700.
However, you are right that, if I wanted more objective opinions, I should have also posted on the Note forums
Thanks again, though, for your contribution to this thread. (If only even more people did the same ^^)
hey, I wrote a little comparison of both devices, perhaps that can help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869576
Folks,
My TF700, along with a few others I've seen post here, has been increasingly sluggish under JB compared to ICS, regardless of how many cold boots and complete resets are performed. In addition, I get frequent white screen crashes and complete reboots that happen under heavy use.
So, with that said, here are my questions from those of you with some experience:
1. Should we expect an update from the manufacturer that will address all of this within a short (month?) period of time?
2. Since it's official that CM will provide an "official" port to the TF700, how long does it usually take them to provide a fairly feature rich one (GPS, Microphone, etc support unlike the unofficial port in the development forums)?
3. If both #1 & #2 are >1 month, can you recommend a solution that provides all tablet features? The other JB builds I saw do not provide full features from what I could see, correct?
Thank you for any answers you can provide.
If you are unlocked, you can always downgrade to ICS .30, or a custom Rom like cleanrom.

1. ASUS are not quick. Given past performance I don't think there is a chance of seeing an update that will successfully deal with the sluggishness issues.
2. I don't think it will be too long until the first official CM10 builds are released (days/weeks rather than weeks/months). Looking at where they are in development at present I expect the initial releases to be pretty complete. However, until they are released and tested you never know what problems and bugs may be encountered.
3. Your best bet at the moment is CleanROM - its the stock rom with all the bloat removed and some other tweaks to improve performance. Having tried the stock JB release and CleanROM I will say that the performance of CleanROM is way better.
Reboots, white screens and freezes are not normal for this or any tablet.
Firmwares and roms won't fix this. Send it back and get one that functions properly.

actually, reboots and freezes are quite normal. There have been several posts about it since this device launched. I was a victim of this as well. Made me want to get rid of it. but after rooting and installing cleanrom, i have not had any issues.
Yes, the rom gets rid of the bloat, but with the new update, you have the option of keeping the bloat that you may want. I highly recommend rooting and installing this rom. It will feel like you purchased a new device.

Your experience is just one data point and all the other posts combined here are just an incredibly small subset of the entire install base, so, no, just because you experienced it does not make it "normal". IMHO, regular reboots and freezes are NOT normal in a properly functioning TF running compatible software (some android apps do suck and/or are not compatible with new OS versions).
So, in spite of your experience, I personally would NEVER recommend doing something that will permanently void the warranty and completely eliminate the possibility of returning it if the root cause is a hardware problem. Instead, I'd return it, if the new one does it too switch brands.
I'm glad for your happiness with the updated ROM but an unlock on an in warranty tablet that is behaving badly is fundamentally bad advice, IMHO.

well xda is not the only website where people talk about electronics. I have seen a great number of complaints about this device. And i agree, there could be a very large number of people out there who are happy with their devices and don't have these issues. But it still remains, there are issues.
I can suggest/recommend people to root/unlock their devices, whether they do it or not, thats totally up to them. Before doing so, they should know the risk involved.
I'll be completely honest on how I feel about the TF700. Before the JB update, the tablet was slow. After the JB update, the tablet was still slow! I love the concept behind the TF700, and it's a beautiful tablet. But, it really does just suck because of its I/O.

I really must just be lucky because I honestly have not experienced any of the lag or crashes that other people report. Yeah, transfer speed over USB is unusually slow, but it's still better than what USB 1.1 was
Honestly, from all that I've read, this tab is hit or miss. You will either have an absolute dream machine or you will have a nightmare. If you are #1, congrats and have fun with this beast. If you are #2 and it's too late to return it, try out all the roms and see which you like best. Even though the custom roms are fun on this tablet, I return time after time to just plain ol' rooted de-odexed stock and remove the bloat myself. This has consistently given me the best overall results
It sounds closed minded, but I don't think it's hit or miss. The I/O issue has run in the Transformer line up from the beginning. I was foolish to believe they would get it under control by the TF700. I love the tablet, I do, but its I/O is undeniably terrible. There's times when it runs flawless for me. But there other times where I can't even stand to use it. I haven't had a single freeze or reboot on JB, Just times of slow performance. If this thing had a better I/O, it would be the best damn tablet ever.
I'm really scared for the Vivo tab, it might have an I/O issue too. God forbid you have an I/O issue with Windows....

Not only is the i/o bad (usually code for slow random read/write), but the sequential read is also horrendous. It takes forever for this tablet to load.
The solution would be more ram or to mount the device on an external microsd with better performance.
That being said the infinitys all weve got for fhd tablets until the bew samsung nexus fhd tablet cominf out next year (which will probably be gimped because google wont allow external storage on nexus devices).
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app
I never had any problems with my tablet on a stock firmware (latest JB). What annoyed me very much is the slugish performance.
Navigation between screens and applications is annoying. I often use google reader and adobe acrobat to read PDFs, and they were so bad.
I do also have samsung galaxy s3 which flies comparing to TF700. My gf has ipad3 which is uber fast too.
So, I've decided to try out CleanRom and so far it's good. It's definitely faster and more smooth.
I have my tablet now 3 weeks. After byuing it I was 4 days on ICS and then got the update to JB.
The speed difference is immense and I have no sluggishness at all.
Only thing I have is that 1 time it wouldn't come out of deep sleep (had to reboot) and had 1 spontaneous reboot since then.
Froze many bloat apps and that gave the tablet some air to breathe RAM wise.
But stock browser is very fast and last week I could compare it to an Ipad3 and speed is quite the same. It depends more on the Wifi speed available.
Opening apps is instantly and fast so no complaints here.
Strange that the experience of some users is totally different.
But let's say there are now 1 million Infinity's sold, a very minority have probs because (proven) people who have complaints will look for it on the internet and will start complaining there also.
But who has no probs will not come here, for sure the majority of users.
So do not magnify the probs more than needed and do not generalize them.
But for sure complain to ASUS asking for a solution depending of the prob by either replacing the defective unit or come quickly with an software update.
Just my 2c
I've had this tablet since Christmas, got it with the keyboard dock and a Poetic case for work (journalism) hoping that it would entirely replace my laptop, which was a beater since my other one broke. Since using it I've overall loved the experience, but I do have a number of gripes.
The Good:
- Keyboard is equally as impressive as any laptop I've used. Responsive, ensures that I can continue to be productive while on the go.
- Battery life is unreal
- Speaker quality equals or betters that of an iPad, hands down.
- For being plastic, the build quality of this thing is awesome.
- ASUS has been nothing but supportive, ensuring that my device is unlocked quickly and under warranty.
- Plays the occasional game well and loads them pretty quickly
- The USB and HDMI outlets, while I haven't used them extensively, are going to come in handy.
- Charges extremely fast
The Bad:
- I can never find the power button in tablet mode. It's ergonomically terrible. And when docked, there's no button to press to turn the screen on quickly (that I know of)
- Despite coming preloaded with JB, this thing lags worse than my HTC Sensation. It's not rooted, but out of the box it lags. Takes like ten seconds to open up Google Now for pete's sake.
- Browser crashes all the time
- Proprietary cable is way too short and proprietary cables blow
- Internet browsing is laggy and slow to load more often than not
- Trackpad on the dock is the worst on any keyboard I've ever used in terms of responsiveness and random touches
- Rooting seems complicated
- The screen is not as sharp or as bright as I expected
Overall: B+
It's more than I could ever expect out of a tablet, to be honest. I probably should have sprung for an UltraBook for my needs, but this will be fun in the meantime. This may be my first tablet, but I can assure you that every tablet I buy from here on out will come with a keyboard. It has given me a good idea of what to look for in a tablet and I really do enjoy using it over any other device I've owned aside from my phone. For all it's specs, performance isn't where it should be, but I have a sneaky suspicion once I root this thing there may still be hope for solving all this lag.
What would you grade this tablet? What are your likes? Dislikes? I'm curious to find out about everyone else's experiences with the 300, and perhaps some helpful advice. Thanks!

When stock I would say a 6/7 out of 10. Its slow, browser crashes and espesially after Jelly Bean update i decided to unlock and root cause it was a pain to use sometimes. Also alot of problems while typing. Whole sentences are suddenly gone, autocorrect is horrible and anyoing, and sometimes even freezes while im writig.
With Custom ROMs i would say a 8 out of 10. Alot faster and smoother than stock.
Imo, the screen is very good. Compared to TF101, colors are better and brighter.
Buying Quad Core cpu I expected, that EVERY game will run smoothly. I bought Dark Knight and ... zonk, lags everywhere. I thought my Tegra 3 is broken
ok so I agree 1000%. I rooted mine, installed cm10 (not 10.1 yet) along with untermensh's kernel and its freaking lightning fast. it was maybe a C- before. Now it is a solid A!
Even my critical impatient wife loves the tab now.

I run clean ROM 3.0.4 and unters 4.4.20 kernal and as I've said before it makes all the difference in the world on this machine. The screen is good but the infinity screen is better however I prefer this to all other tabs currently marketed except Samsung note 10.1 but the note isn't optimized for tegra games so all in all this one won me over

Does a custom ROM really make a big difference? This thing really does lag awfully sometimes on stock and i'm a bit skeptical that it can improve significantly
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
It makes so much of a difference on mine I could never concieve of loading the stock ROM again. The stock has serious I/o issues bud not to mention all the other crap. Now don't get me wrong there is a down side. On jelly bean u have to unlock so u lose your warranty and that's a risk. It is also a lot of work to install all the ROMs and patches and the first time on any device will scare the bejesus outta any man but when its done, at least for me, its a thing of beauty on this machine in particular. I'd did a lot of research before I got started and finally took the plunge. Course I've done this on several devices but every time is stressful lol. Good luck man for the benchmark scores on my machine just look at the poor androbench scores thread in this section. I just posted pics there that will show you how much of a difference it makes when you root and rom
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------
P.S. you mentioned lag so I'll let you know browser to ram after you root takes care of that in browsing and as you can see from the screenshots in the other thread the I/o is fixed and or gone around after root and custom ROM installed.
Thanks for the informative reply. I usually use chrome though so I don't think browser2ram will work for that or so I've read.

Yes.
3/10
I've been regretting this purchase since after 1 month of owning it, that why a few months ago I was pretty active on this forum asking questions but since the day I figured out this tablet is what I should not have purchased, I stopped browsing this forum.
I was so sad because I saved my money for months to buy this tablet and what I got wasn't what I expected.
Like you said, this thing lags like crazy, it's because of the I/O issue I believe. Games run laggy, cuz they need to read/write a lot. Copying 100MB takes 10 minutes. I waited for years for it to copy mmy music library to this tablet. Forget about browsing the Web,
I even thought this is an issue with android and I thought I will not ever buy an android device again, until my sister got the galaxy s3 and it's damn fast
Maybe I'll leave a review someday, but basically this tablet is very good, except for the fact that Asus put a cheap slow flash storage in it. If not, I'd rate it 8/10 if there's no i/O issue,
Asus has been known for putting slow flash storage in their devices from the tf201, tf300, even the flagship tf700, and even though the nexus 7 has a faster flash storage that transformers, it's still very slow compared to other tablets.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
I have to agree with other comments here, the stock rom is a piece of crap. Not being able to browse on the stock browser WTF ? I've said this before but Asus REALLY needs to fix their stock rom. If the ROMS from here can make the tablet fly then why can't Asus do it?
I had my tablet for 6 months and only unlocked and flashed TWRP with Cleanroom in the last week. I've now used the tablet more in the last week than I had in the previous 6 months, it's made such a difference. I now enjoy using the tablet rather than wanting to throw it against the wall :silly:
I bought mine with the keyboard dock, it makes the tablet more versatile extends the battery life and with a wireless mouse is almost a notebook / netbook replacement.
I notice the OP wrote the proprietary cable is too short.... you can pick up a 2m cable on eBay or Amazon really cheap, mine was delivered last week. Though the proprietary cable does blow, from what I've read it allows the tablet to be charged quicker than a normal usb cable (please correct me if I am wrong).
Stock rom: 3 out of 10 (Slow, hangs, browser crashes.... piece of crap)
Cleanrom: 10 out of 10 (Everything works perfectly now)
Perhaps the wrong thread but what browser do you guys use on this ROM? I like stock ROM so so much but it doesnt work half the time. Like it doesn't load pages or the back button doesn't return me. Also it can use flash!
I'm gonna start to try use chrome but I like the progress bar. I tried dolphin browser but its not like a conventional browser, doesn't have a back button etc.
Firefox doesn't have an easy add tab button. Same with Opera, don't think its that nippy, hangs n lags.
I found Opera Mobile worked best on the stock rom

On my Galaxy S III, I upgraded to 4.2.2, and realized much greater performance, and battery life.
I am quite tired of the quite slow performance on this TF101, and am curious if I will notice much better performance if I go to one of the 4.2.2 ROMs for this.
At the moment, I am on Revolution 3.6.
It's a shame that the forum doesn't have a search function where you could look at other people's results when they've moved to a 4.2.2 ROM.

I've read quite a few posts (I'll admit not the whole thread) in a couple 422 threads, and most of what there is people asking qustions about isssues they have etc.
You couuld have probably spent fewer words actually helping someone. I suppose you expect that someone with my post count does nothing but ask dumb questions and never searches.

The other guy didn't mean for you to MANUALLY search... but rather, use the search tool:

Returns a forum topic that discusses this very thing.
It's not like people are unfamiliar with search engines these days... so if you see people surprised/frustrated that they're not used more often, that would explain the first response to your original post.
At any rate, I personally use KatKiss (build 200) having started with EOS back in build 90 or so... and it's meant I've sadly had to hold off on buying a replacement to my TF101 because it performs nearly as well as newer hardware...

I'm sure that is the case. But making smart, sarcastic remarks to people is of no help to anyone. I too find posts that are easily found with search. But I don't wise off. I either ignore it altogether with no answer, or answer it, and then suggest searches in a friencly way,as you did. Much more community friendly, as I find you are, and appreciation is a result instead of anger.
Actually, I find that Google searches, outside of the XDA search, are much better.

I looked at your search. It returned much of what I had looked at, many of which compare various 4.2.2 ROMS. I am interested in knowing if 422 really is appreciably faster than stock. Or, if the tablet is just too low powered, and should be looking for new hardware.

I too am using KatKiss 220 just recently. Believe me, once you're running it you'll be surprised on what you're missing compared to stock. You'd usually think it would be underpowered by getting 4.2.2 but the devs made a great job in tailoring these custom ROMS to the TF101. On KatKiss 220, everything felt much smoother, speakers are louder, and you get ton's of added customizations and boost options

I've tried both CM No-Name nightlies and Team EOS 4 ROMs but switched back to ARHD ROM primarily because the performance wasn't 'butter' smooth and the sound was very low compared to ICS ROMs..
There is a KAT App for fixing the sound, and it works quite well too; but I faced this nagging problem after using that KAT App to increase the sound that whenever I was trying to decrease the sound, it was automatically switching back to full sound.
Would like to know your experience with this ROM? Is this ROM is any better? And whether the sound is as good as.. or comparable to what it is on ICS ROMs.

I moved from stock to TeamEOS about 6 months ago now, have now progressed to Katkiss 221.
The improvement has been immense, my TF101 runs pretty much as quickly as my wife's Nexus 7.
My advice would be to go for it.

I installed it last night. Have not had much time to play with it. But initial observation is that it appears to be much faster. After the initial test (only launching Chrome and a small bit of browsing), I upped the CPU Max to 1200. Haven't had any time since.
But, I'm thinking it was worth the effort.
What about the sound?

Okay! Now you've got me curious. I'll download the ROM tonight and give it a spin.
What about the sound? Is it loud enough? Umm.. as good as in ARHD /stock ICS?
I'm emphasizing on sound coz I use the tablet to play music almost all the time and it is a make or break factor for me
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll surely try this ROM

Using KAT Android toolbox to boost the volume it's plenty loud enough for me (but I'm getting old...)
Now up to KatKiss 223 - feels lightning fast even without overclocking
Moved to KatKiss few days ago and its a HUGE difference from stock ROM, even moving from moded 4.0.3 is a big difference.

Put the EOS 4 rom with kat kernel @ 1.60GHz and your TF101 fly highh
Best rom i've tested in my TF101 ! :laugh: :good:
