420.00 U.S. for tf700 - Asus Transformer TF700

I am looking into picking up a used tf700 today..
It comes with dock, case, 32gb sdcard, charger..
Is 420.00 U.S. a fair deal?

I'd say it is fair, but you have to be prepared to go flashing away!
Because without CromI or CM10.1, the tf700 sucks

So is CM 10.1 just as amazing as cromi?? I like CM customizing options..

I don't think it's a good price personally wish the forms still allowed selling.I would look around more even on like swappa the official website for selling on XDA.

I am a *huge* CRomI fan, but from what I understood, CM10.1 is getting there. It doesn't have as high benchmarks, but it is still smooth and has also gotten rid of the IO issue.
I'd say try 'em both and choose which one you like best.
I chose for CRomI because CM10.1 wasn't as great when I first had to flash a custom rom, and I was so pleased with the result and the integration with some Asus specific stuff (such as the keyboard dock, the IPS+ toggle, etc) that I chose not to cheat on sdbags' awesome rom
However, I am sure that if I had to make the same decision today, it'd be a lot harder.
Goodluck!

Worth the upgrade?

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

[Q] Non-ASUS Roms and Dock Compatibility?

My wife's JB stock Asus TF700 is being annoying. It's laggy, audio recording hiccups and stutters and lags, and in general my Nexus 7 makes it look really bad (and it's not like she's installed a bunch of junk on it, and these problems persist after reboots/cache wipes).
I don't mind at all unlocking it and doing things like custom kernels, kernel tweaks etc. But I have a few reservations....one of the biggest is the dock with non-ASUS ROMs. I want to make sure that full dock functionality is there. That means the trackpad works, the keyboard works, the SD card slot in the keyboard works, etc. Is there any reason to be concerned about this with custom TF700 ROMs? I don't really see their descriptions addressing this.
The other question is, how likely is it I'll see the improvements I want just by putting in a custom kernel, maybe running an app like Seeder, and/or FSTrim to combat lagginess, and just otherwise leave the stock ASUS Jelly Bean on it, albeit rooted.
Hope this question hasn't been asked and answered before. I *did* search.

I run CROMI 3.2.1 on my TF700 & have no problems with my keyboard dock. keys all work, as does the SDcard.
This ROM is built off of Asus's Rom, just improved upon.
I've noticed a huge difference in my tablet since switching to CROMI over the stock ROM.
Not sure about just putting in a new kernel though.
Someone else might be able to answer that better.
I'm running CROMI 3.2 + ubuntu on dualboot (rabits) and even with the custom kernel, everything related to the dock works on the android side (the SD reader on the dock is a little problematic while running linux but that is kind of to be expected with an alpha build)
I would go with the newest CleanRom Inheritance (CROMI) and run one of clemsyn's kernels with it.
Stupid fast (compared to stock at least)
I'm also running with fsync disabled, and the performance difference is definitely noticeable.
Also running CROMI 3.2.1, everything works as with the stock ROM, just much, much better!
On stock I was ok with this tablet, got it for the flexibility and keyboard and put up with the lagginess.
Now I absolutely love it! So much fun!

If you're really worried about dock support, go the CROMI route -- I'm another proponent and use it myself. It is INSANE how much difference it makes. The lay-out and general user experience is the same, so the transition is... hell, it's not even small or negligible, it's just absent.
Do yourself and your wife a favor and flash CROMI. I warn you, however: once done, there's no way you're going back to stock, and even the other ROMs probably lose to CROMI (by maybe a small margin, I haven't tested lately sicne I'm really happy with the performance as is).
Sweet!! Thanks, guys! I'll give it a go. Looks like others are saying the ASUS unlocker will work on the JB stock ROM so, presumably I no longer have to worry about going through the 'downgrade' to ICS first...
Recommendations on the recovery? CWM? TWRP?
Thanks,
Randy
PS You may have gathered this, but I've been doing this with phones & tablets for a long time with Android, so I'm not 'new' to it, I just didn't know how to deal with the wildcard of the dock thrown in the mix.

TWRP, no doubt, but not the latest version, stay with TWRP version 2.3.1.0 (first choice) or 2.3.3.0(second choice).

Hehehe, here's where opinions start differing. I'm a CWM guy, but probably due to having learned where everything is. I believe the current versions of TWRP are really good, and since they're friendlier to learn (and operate, I guess) there's no shame in using TWRP, and whichever one you happen to choose doesn't really matter since they perform the most important tasks equally well.
One real advantage of TWRP is being able to use GooManager to update it on the device itself. As I think of it now, now I've had to tape the tablet inside the dock, I'm probably going to have to go the TWRP route myself soon... (I don't know if I can fastboot through the dock. Ugh)
Still, I vote CWM.
Don't forget to get your nvflash backup setup first...

Last couple of versions of TWRP feel a bit like betas to me. It offers a brilliant interface but it's a bit disconcerting that it can freeze anywhere in the flash process. I've switched to CWM and whilst it is incredibly slow in comparison to TWRP it is at least stable.

Personal preference, but currently... CROMI.
CROMI 3.3 is ubelievable. CROMI us updated weekly, and every update improves over the last. The communication b/w devs working on CROMI, related kernels, themes, and mods is ubeleivable. These guys are great, +1 for CROMI. I love how my tablets looks and feels, it is a joy to use.
CROMi supporter here also.
All ROMs are certainly worth a try tho.
This tablet would be a real bummer ( for some of us) without the current development efforts.

Oh no you didn't! lol
xda asks everyone to *not* ask for the better rom, since it's purely subjective.
You should've asked something more specific eg. I am looking for a stable and fast rom which works great with the keyboard. Do you know what Rom would fit my needs better.
Anyway: enough preaching! I vote for CRomI!

In term of what?? They are two different animals, you're looking at apple and orange. cm10 is none stock, everything is modded with different looks and feels vs Cromi which is pure stock with a slightly modification but you still have the exact same looks and feels of the stock. Since cm10 is modified from the ground up, you're going to get more bugs than cromi. But if you talking about speed and smoothness, they about the same.

Although essentially speaking, you're right, I tend not to be able to put the terms 'bugs' and 'smoothness' in the same sentence save for a negative connection. I haven't gotten around to testing CM10 lately, lthough I donated without thinking twice when the team (or rather dasunsrule32) had gotten the word out they were interested in developing for it. There has been done a lot of work, and they still make many improvements. ßTILL, I'm currently a CROMI guy.

Is unlocking worth it?

I've had my infinity for a couple of weeks now and I'm really frustrated with the lag. I want to unlock it but I've heard stories of people who owned one and a manufacturer defect didn't appear for a month. For example a couple of black lines appearing that won't go away. So far I haven't found any defects but I'm worried that if I unlock then something will happen and I can't return it.

In the meantime while you're deciding whether to unlock or not, go into "Settings / Developer Options" and put a check in "Force GPU rendering". Then under "Window animation scale", Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale", disable all of those.
I go tired of the slideshow animations, so I disabled them all. My tablet has the appearance of snappiness now. Rooting, unlocking, and romming my tablet didn't get rid of the horrible slideshow. Disabling animations does.
Thanks for the tip. How likely are issues to show up? And if they do will asus cover it? If it's not very likely then ill unlock and install cromi

A bit of a tough call...boils down to luck of the draw so to speak.
Asus may give you grief even with a locked tab.
My own experience:
Had the Infinity since July 2012.
Minor light bleed at first: diminished to a point where it isn't noticeable.
Some clicking around the glass at first: one spot now above the power port-no issue for me since this tablet is in a Bobj case.
Unlocked and re-rommed with original CleanROM around October\November or whenever JB first was pushed.
Few months to go and my tab will be a year old so if I make it with no hardware failures unlocking was the best option for me.
*note
I dropped this tab off a nightstand 4 weeks ago and dinged the corner (it was in a light folio) it never skipped a beat.
Bottom line
It's your call
Ok thanks. Disabling the animations and enabling force gpu rendering solved my problems with lag. So for now I have no need to unlock. My plan now is to wait a month or maybe 2 and then unlock if no issues come up. Thanks for the advice

I'm aware to not make a lot of friends in saying this ... but I found the stock JB ROM a decent system. For me it has not really been as bad as you can read here a lot. Have to say though that I never had to use the ICS stock version, which seemingly really was not a good choice.
I have unlocked mine and flashed a custom ROM, but in my case more for the fun of it. Using the stock ROM until your warranty runs out is a good option. You might look into rooting it anyway, which will not harm your warranty.

Why would you not have friends by saying stock is good?
Non-stock ROMs have seen tremendous success their ongoing development is just icing on the cake.
I'm sure there are thousands of happy users that have no idea that aftermarket ROMs even exist.

Just thought because everyone is beating on the fact that only custom ROMs make this thing fly. Again, I'm a very new Infinity user, my only experience with stock ROMs is from using the JB 10.4.4.25 version. And this is a good choice in my opinion.

The stock ROM is mixed bag -- some have actually preferred ICS to JB, and there are some that prefer it the other way around. Nonetheless, I'd be surprised if you wouldn't prefer custom ROMs to the stock versions once you unlock and flash away.
I do underwrite fully your statement that if the stock ROM doesn't bother you, it's not that of an immediate need to unlock and flash a custom ROM, especially if you are an easily frightened Infinity owner.
I know this forum seems aimed at custom ROMs.
Certainly no need if one is pleased with the tablet in it's pure form.
XDA is a site that used to forge development vs. troubleshooting.
It's all good tho...everyone enjoys helping as much as possible.
No worries
I'd say just root then install browser2ram and set that up in the stock browsers debug settings, then wait for the next update which should be in a month or so.
After the update see if you are still wanting and then decided if you want to unlock. Remember this is a techie site and people here tend to advise people to take more aggressive actions, as they are speaking from an area that they are very comfortable, but I tend to advise people like yourself to be more conservative and patient.

thanks. actually i am one of the more aggressive action types of people. i rooted my phone and installed a custom rom within an hour of getting it lol. I really want to unlock my tab because i love custom roms, however it is an expensive device and i have heard stories of the poor quality control asus has. If it weren't for that i would have unlocked it and installed cromi a few days after getting it.

Thinking about buying a TF700.. Few questions. Need advice

hey you all. im shopping for a used tablet and I have seen a few of these TF700 and also tf300 going online for around $150 10.1 screen.looks like the tf300 is the lower model version
Just wondering how is the community going on here with these tablets? looks like its still going strong and supported!
Anything i should know about these tablets or should I stay away from these. seems like a good tablet for a good price and it also seems these tablets are pretty fast
Thanks for your advice and help!
they are fast for the first month, then go to utter ****. you will have to wipe it clean and fresh install your roms on it biweekly in order for it to be usable. the specs and price are tempting, but the track record of them sucks, avoid at all cost.

What about the ME302C asus? I can get one for about the same price. Specs look better and the tablet is newer

there is a good chance that means there is no development on it, like roms... search for the modding process on what ever you buy before you buy so you don't get disappointed.

So now my choices are the me301t, tf300
Changed my mind again. i think im going to go with this tablet.. The screen and quad core got my heart, i could get a me302 btu the screen is not as good as this one
go ahead and get a class 10 sd card too then. apparently rom2sd is the only way to get these things to work but i haven't confirmed that first hand...yet.
With the right rom and data2sd (rom2sd is for dual booting - doesn't add anything to performance) the TF700 is a really nice tablet.
But check prices for the TF701. They've been coming down and even with the best custom rom on the TF700, the TF701 is MUCH better even on stock.
But then - the development community around the TF700 is wider, very active, loads of fun and deeply dedicated to make it the best it can be.
Much less going on in the TF701 forums and that it is pretty darn good out of the box probably has a lot to with it.
For the record: I own both and have been tinkering with both for close to 2 and 1 year respectively.
I just got the TF700 after coming from the TF300. I must say while I like the TF700 screen reso, I cannot believe the amount of jittery-ness it has. The TF300 is smooth as butter. But the TF700 has some jittery-ness to it. Even simple things like switching home page you can see a bit of stuttering going on. Opening apps drawer is the same thing. (I'm using apex launcher btw). I'm not a huge gamer. Mainly was gonna use this for development and movies/web browsing. Which is does just fine. I highly recommend the TF701 though. I may just sell both my tablets for the TF701. However, like berndblb said, there is a lot of development going on for the TF700. TF701 is non existent (Too new i guess?)
EDIT: About data2sd, never used it and never had to. Don't know why everyone thinks you absolutely need it. because you dont.

But the TF700 has some jittery-ness to it. Even simple things like switching home page you can see a bit of stuttering going on. Opening apps drawer is the same thing. (I'm using apex launcher btw). I'm not a huge gamer. Mainly was gonna use this for development and movies/web browsing. Which is does just fine. I highly recommend the TF701 though. I may just sell both my tablets for the TF701. However, like berndblb said, there is a lot of development going on for the TF700. TF701 is non existent (Too new i guess?)
EDIT: About data2sd, never used it and never had to. Don't know why everyone thinks you absolutely need it. because you dont.

Well - non-existent is a bit harsh. pershoot is maintaining CM and sbdags has a CROMi-X for the 701. There's another unofficial AOSP that I have not tried.
If you never tried data2sd you don't know what you're missing
Especially on the TF700 with it's slow emmc (did you say jittery-ness, did you mention stuttering? LOL) it does make quite a difference.

Yeah I guess non-existent is a bit harsh . Pershoot is doing a great job from what it looks. I am trying to stick with LP for my development device to make sure my apps work on the latest version of Android.
And when I said jittery-ness, its seems more GPU related then writing to the memory blocks. Like simply switching home pages, how's that related to writing to memory?
came across a asus 301T for $75.. are those any good?
