[Q] CleamRom vs Hydro - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, can someone comment on their experience (if any) on CleanRom 3.2.1 vs Hydro 5.1? I'm currently on CleanRom 3.2.1 ODEX version and is wondering if I'll be gaining anything if I switch to Hydro (seems like a lot more people like Hydro). What are the key differences and advantages?
Thanks in advance.

Used Cleanrom for 2 months i think, now installed latest Hydro.
Looks and feels pretty much the same. Speed depends more that what kernel are u using, i like Unters TF300 stock (1,6ghz)
And Hydro is cleaner, less useless apps etc (at least for me)
Make full backup and try it yourself

I will try install Hydro 6.0 in next week, becouse now I don't have enough time to do this. I'm currently useing CROMI 3.2.1 Odexed, it sometimes gets buggy. Can I Install Hydro 6.0 over CROMI 3.2 ??? Of course I would wipe system. I hate doing wipe data/ factory reset, but I will have to do this.

Running CleanROM 3.2.1 with Unters' kernel, might give Hydro a try if I get bored.
Tablet gets really hot while charging though. I don't want to end up with a melted charger (have heard horror stories)

My tablet has unters kernel the same as you, but my tablet is very Hot when I'm playing games. On stock tablet wasn't so hot. Will I can play in NFS Most Wanted 2 without any lags?

That is the BEST answer anyone can give you. You will never know until you try it I flash a million times before i find a ROM i like. I never stay on it for long either This is why i will NEVER own an apple device

I get 49fps in Epic Citadel (search from play store) with Surdus stock kernel (Installed from CROMI kernel installer)
and 55fps with Unters stock kernel. NFS Most Wanted is no problem :good:

from my experience when you first use hydro you think woah this is fast everything is clean ,works ,responsive, then as you keep updating it becomes slower , some app don't open , battery dies faster
with cleanrom its a more natural feel its just like stock except with some mod changes it really depends if you're into stock with changes or customization,overclock , etc

Do games run better on Stock, ICS Custom, or JB Custom?

I'm sort of underwhelmed by the gaming performance on cm10 w/ katkernel.
Which version of CM are you running? The 'official' has some pretty outdated code from my understanding. Secondly, which governor, I/O scheduler are you using, and finally, are you overclocked?
I'm finding nothing in the Play Store that won't run very well on my tablet with the setup I have right now.
I believe I'm on raymans cm10 version November 29 with Kat kernel #70 at 1.4ghz. I use noop and the performance governor.

I've been using team eos4 JB4.2 with kat #70 kernel and over clock at 1400 and it runs extremely smooth on all my games. From this we can say that a custom rom of your preference would be the best idea...

Try smartassV2 if it's available to you. That might wring a little more horsepower out of your tablet. It's always been my favorite governor.

I have tested many ROMs, and currently, RaymanFX's 4.2 JB ROM is my favourite. Even though the rear cam is not working when using the stock Camera app, you can download many other camera apps from Google Play (I can use my rear cam with Skype on this ROM). HDMI and GPS works on my TF101 so I don't know why Ray put that it's not working on his thread.
I have compared The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises' framerate, gameplay and lag difference between Stock ICS and Rayman's ROM:
------------------------------------------------------------​Stock ICS​JB 4.2 ROM​THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN​Lags: Yes - unplayable.​Lags: No - smooth as iPad.​Framerate: Bad - like 5 FPS​Framerate: Awesome - smooth, no lags.​Gameplay: Bad - just unplayable​Gameplay: Awesome - smooth, no lags. just awesome.​THE DARK KNIGHT RISES​Lags: Yes - first mission works nice until you must fly.​Lags: No - smooth and fun.​Framerate: Bad - bad, but better than Spider-Man.​Framerate: Awesome - smooth.​Gameplay: Bad - you must have patience to play it lol.​Gameplay: Awesome - smooth, no lags. just awesome.​------------------------------------------------------------​
I recommend you to flash it through TWRP as it is the ONLY recovery that did NOT bricked my TF101, and I may also recommend you to make a full backup with TWRP on an External MicroSD card (check System, Recovery, Data and the other ones you see in there) so you will not brick it, and if you will, you could just restore it. Make sure to wipe EVERYTHING (system, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset) before flashing! Do not forget to root your device before doing this, and after rooting, I recommend to backup your apps and games with TitaniumBackup so you can send your savegames to the custom ROM.
After flashing it, install AnTuTu's CPU Master Free and overclock it to: Minimum - 216 MHz; Maximum - 1600 MHz so you'll enjoy the games smoother than before.
I hope I have helped you. I am not responsable with any brick, damage or anything else but, in case of, please post here a reply with your issue so I'll try to help you. Good luck!

Hey... how do u flash TWRP recovery? I downloaded the zip and tried to flash ti through CM and it didn't work. Right now my tablet is crap, I tried flashing the Android 4.2 ROM and it just booted my older ROM (team EOS).
Awesome little review. 4.2 seems pretty cool, I read its not as smooth but faster in apps and to launch apps?

Stock ICS is the only thing that works for me. Everything else is laggy, buggy, missing features or simply unusable. Stock is nice and flows cleanly without lag (as long as you don't have 100 resource hogging apps running).

Install GooManager and choose "Install OpenRecoveryScript" from the menu. This way you get the latest TWRP
EOS4.2.1 previewB92 with KAT kernel 70b and 1500 Mhz will be very fast
EOS3 #81 with latest KAT Kernel if you prefer a fast ROM without the "preview" status.

Switching from RaymanFX's CM recovery I had to do this twice, but it worked.
For a non laggy, non buggy Jellybean experience with EOS4 read this from timduru. I can guarantee that if you upgrade your tablet properly you'll get at least a 100% performance increase over the stock rom, with minimum bugs. In my opinion I feel the setup in my signature is closer to three times the performance that my tablet had when it came out of it's box a year ago with honeycomb.
Ive now noticed that gta3 for instance runs better on ics arhd,but yet clearly jb is smoother in the launcher and almost every other app (cnn,browser)
I wonder why that is...

You will not notice any differences in App performance between ROMs if you do it's simply a placebo effect.
The only way to achieve a noticeable difference with App performance is to overclock your hardware.
Do any of you get the random screen flicker (flashing/blinking) while in games?

[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?

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.

I flashed all available Roms so far. Clean Rom is the best by miles.
Cleanrom runs good, nothing to complain about.

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

I was on Baked blackbean 6 then to CM 10.1 nightlies. Went to clean rom last night after I got the keyboard ($50 at office depo).
There are so many good things about each one of them: bb has rom control and customizations; CM10.1 with Android 4.2's new features; cleanrom for it's asus feel and keyboard compatability.
I am really happy with the development on this device!
CleanRom 1.8GHz is so sick.

[Q] which tf700 kernels work for tf300tg

I am using the clemsyn kernel but clem has stopped cooking and guys said I should check out the tf700 forum so I need to know which of those work for a tf300tg or how can I make them work. I've been trying to see if there's info on the threads' description but nothing there. Any help . appreciated
Which rom are you using? If you are using a stock based rom there are 20 kernels available in my kernel installer. 12 TF700 and 8 TF300 variants.
I'm on stock, will give them a try right now. thanks.
I've downloaded your ROM a few days ago so I might as well flash it over, I did a backup a few hours ago so I can always go back if I'm not satisfied. My main problem is a proper TF300TG kernel with GPU OC. Let's see then how it goes.
I just remembered why I'm not running your ROM, my wifi is unresponsive, even though it connects automatically to my router, I can't change any settings or discover/connect to another network. Even did a clean install if I recall correct bu still the same results. Will check your kernel installer after I restore.
I go for Unters TF300T kernel, it clocks the processor depending on which setting you have it on:
power saving 1gz
balanced mode 1.3gz
performance 1.6gz
And also the front facing camera works with this kernal
You can get the kernel in sbdags awesome kernal installer

whatsapp wont install even on stock if you dont download it manually and force install the package.
and if you do so it will work on clean (look for a thread here on XDA for a tablet-friendly version).
btw did you chose the right DPI setting from aroma installer on clean, right? a lot of apps wont work correctly with wrong DPI settings - chose 160DPI.

Yes, I did all that, proper dpi and pushing the apk manually, actually tried a few guides on the matter. Had the same issue on energy rom unless I flashed over from stock, and by doing that I couldn't switch on/off the wifi. It was on but could only connect to previously saved networks. Same issue on cleanrom. Only difference is that a full wipe would make the wifi work on clean but not on energy. Whatsapp is the way I talk to my girl, don't really like viber's gui. And don't have the time to spare on reflashing all the time. Abort-retry-fail was nice when I was single and had all day to myself to choose if I want a night out partying or in flashing every single rom I can think of on whichever device I had at the time lol

Correct. Clemsyn's haven't worked for me, and I do care a lot about 3G that's why I opted for the TG model. The only one that works is Unters...

Seriously, who thinks 4.2.1 is worth the aggravation?

I've read about more bricks than the last time the three little pigs got together to ward off the big bad wolf. Rampant complaints about BT interfering with Wifi; complaints about the new launcher; issues with the tab reading microsd cards (I'm not giving up my 32gb card, no thank you very much).
What I haven't seen is anyone saying, "boy, I'm really happy I flashed 4.2.1."
Would like to hear what I'm missing from folks who are glad they did the deed.
No problems as of yet for me with stock 4.2.1 . I'm more content for now than happy.
I was on Cleanrom 3.3 with a custom kernal from "CleanROM Inheritance Kernels v2.0" oc'ed to 1.6. and running TWRP 2.4.1.0 at the time.
Downloaded 4.2.1 latest firmware from asus downloads Version WW_V10.6.1.8 (ww is suitable for my tf300)
extracted the blob and flashed it with TWRP 2.4.1.0 , didnt wiped Cache or Dalvik Cache.
I'm at fully stock bootloader and firmware v10.6.1.8 now
Everything seems to work ,
Havent used the camera much but but when I did it worked fine
Bluetooth and wireless work flawlessly together, I often watch movies over wireless with bsplayer pro and bluetooth headphones .
I have the dock and both my 32gig SDcard class 10 and 32gig microSD class 10 are working.
Games maybe not as smooth when using the custom overclocked kernal . ie Beach buggy blitz , grabatron , dead trigger
I do miss the slight overclock it had , but I'll patiently wait for the next TWRP and cleanrom update
Yep I agree. Is it really worth an upgrade? I'm running one of the older versions of CROMI and I'm very happy with it. It runs flawlessly. I also use a class 10 32gb sd card which I'm am not willing to give up.
As the release of the newest version of CROMI nears, I'm on the fence as whether or not I really want to go through with the upgrade just yet. I may just decide to wait awhile and see what everyone thinks about it. Time will tell.

I think it's worth it. This is what Android is all about. Update, customize and enjoy.
Asus TF300T, CleanROM Inheritance
It's worth it. I like it better. No hassle or aggravation here. Pure happiness.
I love 4.2.1 everything runs great and CROMI 4.0 is out and works great. I think all the things that make 4.2 is worth the upgrade if nothing else the core of android should be better.
I didn't expect the update to bring much improvements to be honest, but I find it surprisingly good. Loving the lockscreen widgets, camera and keyboard.

Boy, I'm really happy I flashed 4.2.1 and used it for about a week then flashed CROMI 4 last night . this update also proved that Asus is giving good after sales services and tf300t being the first non-nexus device to get 4.2. Those who got bricked are mostly people who didn't flash properly or used the wrong version of recovery or didn't full wipe ~ obviously if you used stock and locked bootloader you'll get 4.2 from OTA and have less chance if brick.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
4.2 was great until I made 2 users and now everything seems laggy. Im not sure if having 2 accounts this much stress on the cpu/ram?
Dont know if i would have flashed it if i didnt have nvflash (i need that 4.1 bootloader) but the overall experence wasnt bad, no wifi troubles at all, stock 4.2 launcher is quite smooth (my tf101 with custom 4.2 runs smoother tho )
I really enjoy the 4.2 update, almost everything works flawlessly for me. It also seems more stable and responsive that 4.1.
The only complaint I have is that since updating I no longer receive delta updates from the play store; it is driving me crazy
But all in all, I wouldn't want to go back to 4.1.
I'm doing to downgrade the bootloader to 4.1 and install CM10.1
I'm having random freezes, reboots and extreme battery drain, I tried Stock 4.2.1, CHROMI 4.0, factory reset, etc.
It works ok for some hours, then things go bad.
Before downgrading I left the microsd card out, just for curiosity, and I'm going to testing for a few hours, but I'm not going to stop using the microsd.

[Q] Rom advise please

Hi Guys,
I have just brought a TF700, and I have set up 3 user profiles, but it is very unstable even after i have disabled all of the unused apps.
From what I have been reading it would appear my best option is to put a custom rom on it.
Now i have achieved this kind of thing in the past as I put Android on a HTC HD2 many moons ago.
I currently have a HTC One and i love the OS on that which is 4.3, so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a 4.3 Rom that is fairly close to what i have on the HTC One for my TF700.
Thanks in advance
You didn't say which rom you put on your HTC
CM 10.2 emulates JB 4.3, I believe Paranoid and OMNI ROM also have 4.3 versions, but most of the devs seem to have moved on to KitKat (CM11), but it still seems to be somewhat buggy and slow at this point.
You find the threads in the development section

Thanks for coming back.
I haven't changed anything on my HTC One at moment because I am more than happy with how it is performing.
I will take a look, but once again thanks.
I have been looking at various threads, but I am still a bit undecided on which way to go.
Anyone else that has wanted to update to 4.3 have any tips or advise for me?
I wouldnt mind eventually going down the 4.4 route, but as I have only just got the tablet - I would firstly like to flash it to something more stable than it currently is.
Many Thanks
What really could help to speed up your TF700t is a factory restart.
For me it was really helping a lot .... even if i am right now "only" on rooted stock FW.
Try this as well.

I have only just brought it, and it was back to factory default, but I did it agin before puting all my apps that I wanted on.
And it was very slow and unstable then, but I then disabled all of the preinstalled apps that I didnt want to use, and it is better, but because I have heard that 4.3 does use less memory I still think it would be worth a try.

I am not sure why you think 4.3 is so much better than 4.2.1. AFAIK that was not a major update or improvement....
If you are looking for a fast and totally stable rom for this tablet, go for CROMi-X! It's based on the Asus firmware 4.2.1 for this tablet, so everything is optimized for THIS device. CM roms are generic. They run a on a multitude of devices - that's why you have more bugs and conflicts

Not that I'm aware of. It was a pretty minor upgrade. Kit Kat 4.4 offers far more interesting features.

I have to admit I like the look of the 4.3 more, but decided to upgrade to the CROMi-X one, and then wait for the 4.4 - which I did last night and I am very impressed - it is loads smoother.
So Thanks for your advise.

Nahhh - only tried it as ROM2SD. And it's still sleeping on some of my sd cards.
I was not impressed. CM didn't add anything but eye candy (I didn't care for) and I think by now CROMi-X in conjunction with Xposed modules (if you care for those and the performance hit they come with) gives you way more options to customize this tablet than CM.... not even mentioning your tweaks!

I am happy with Cromi for now. I may try some new roms to test them out in the future when I have time..

Yeah - and that will be like: Never ??? LOL
I ordered the TF701 yesterday and once I got it set up as my daily driver, I'm prepared to test the hell out of this tablet. Should be fun to have a tablet just to play with (and nvflash blobs safely squared away)

The tf701 looks very good with spec but the I/O does not seem to improve.... Maybe, I need to order one too...haha..:laugh:
Nvflash blob? I like Jtag better and hope that I don't go that route...

CROMi-X is just the nickname for CROMi-Xenogenesis (who wants to write that all the time???). CROMi 3.5 would be just a minor step up from what yo got now...
Latest and greatest version of CROMi-X is 5.2.4. But you are on an outdated bootloader and no doubt an old recovery.
So head over to the CROMi-X thread, grab the bootloader/TWRP package sbdags provided in the OP and download the rom (dl both to your microSD)
Boot into TWRP and do a Factory Wipe - that will wipe your apps, but not your data (but you got everything backed up anyway, right????)
Flash the bootloader/TWRP package and reboot
Boot back into TWRP and flash the ROM
