When Will TF300 Get Jelly Bean?

Im sorry if this has already been asked but I am on the fence of buying a tablet for work and ive narrowed it down to the Nexus 7 and the TF300. Im 99.9% sure I am going to be buying the TF300 ($100 more than the 16GB N7, but it has 2x the memory, 10", mHDMI out, and sdCard, no brainer). However I was wondering how the updates are from ASUS and when we could expect Jelly Bean?

Asus tends to be on top of things when it comes to updates in a timely manner. Although I wouldn't base your decision soley on jelly bean. As with any android version update, there are going to be bugs and app compatibility issues that has to be ironed out at first. Then android manufacturers have to tweak the source code and kernels to work with their roms. Then they have to iron out the bugs then. Any products of 2012 will most likely see jelly bean eventually. Newest isn't always the best. Especially when it comes to OS and software.

The N7 will be the priority for the short term. Once sales tail off then they can focus on the T700. They'll get to us promptly but not a priority. Yes, just IMO....

I understand the hype with jellybean. But when did ICS become an old outdated OS?

put it this way
ICS is to JB what Vista was to Win7
(on most devices)
and that is the problem with Android, too many versions out at the same time that work perfectly well on the devices they are installed on

As soon as I loaded it on my Galaxy Nexus.
ICS is great, but JB is waayyyy better, imo.

I would think that since the Nexus 7 was built by Asus that they would have a leg up on getting updates out. Especially since they stick close to vanilla on their roms

Android 4.1 Source now in AOSP
Jelly Bean source is being released today to AOSP Per Jean-Baptiste Queru the Technical Lead for the Android Open Source Project at Google...

What's replacing flash?

Nothing is replacing Flash. Flash doesn't need to be replaced. It needs to die and be forgotten. If your favorite websites still use Flash instead of proper HTML5, they need to get with the times and dump the resource- and bandwidth-hogging abomination known as Adobe Flash. E-mail them, and let them know that they need to update their $#!t.

I'm new here and an android newbee. I purchased an Asus tf300t a few day ago and have been reading up on all the cool ways it can be modded.
I've already rooted and overclocked it.
Is there a way that I can install JB on it as it's already rooted?

Yea when it comes out u will be able to update with no problem...or u could just flash a 4.1 Rom

Once rooted, can it be upgraded via the official method (from Asus)? I just bought TF300 and waiting for it in the mail, so excited

Yes, a rooted TF300T can still receive OTAs. But you may lose root access after applying it, so use VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to backup.

I followed all the instruction and tried to flash the CM10 Jelly Bean update but got Status 7 errors twice and had to restore my backup twice...

ROM suggestions

I've noticed that there isn't much dev going on for the Tf101 wifi so I wanna start adding some stuff to the dev thread and good some boost in here... questions..
1. What style if from would you see?? Aokp/Tw etc
2. What style of Audio mods ?? Sony Walkman/Awesome Beats/King Beatz
3 .Any other suggestions..
I'm ready to work with some participating help if possible
A.R.H.D. 3.6 ICS Custom KingBeatz Audio

Wifi itself, or the model TF101 Wifi ?
There is LOADS of dev work going on for the TF101, a good selection of ROMs to choose from

I've tried quite a few recent roms, the best Antutu benchmark performance after some fine-tuning I got was from Gierdo's CM 10 build of RaymanFX's unofficial Cyanogenmod, which is android 4.1. Right now i'm testing Josteink's unofficial Cyanogenmod which has android 4.2, i'm having a hard time matching it to the performance of the latter.
Katkernel is freaking awesome btw.

I have said it before, and I will say it again.
Benchmarks are kinda pointless IMO. I got the best benchmarks on ICS Megatron. However, JB 4.1 (I used the PA/CM10 hybrid) felt faster even though it got worse benchmarks than Megatron. TeamEOS 4 feels faster than JB 4.1 and gets even lower benchmarks.
One theory I have is that the hardware is using more resources to run the OS so it benchmarks worse, but it feels smooth to me. Not to mention some benchmarks have not been fully optimized for all devices running JB, especially a TF101 running 4.2.
I gave up trying to max out the benchmarks a while ago and just find what feels the best and is most functional for my needs. Currently, that is EOS 4.

Benchmarks are just statistics

Very true benchmarks IDC about there useless as long as the device looks puurty and kicks ass with feature were good so far dev selection are only CM10.1 from what I've seen the tf101 in general I don't have a tf101 3g so I don't know how well I would be able to support should be as but I'm open to trying

Liquidsmooth with it's kernel
EOS4 with Kat Kernel
No-Name cm10.1 with Kat Kernel.
My suggestions ^

I heard from my friends that cyanagen mod or something is good
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium

I will get rock in on this tonight thanks for the suggestions

I'm currently running no-name CM10.1 with Kat Kernel and it's quite good. No issues yet. Was a little rough at first but smoothed out after the first day or so of use.
I find it runs better now than it did on stock ICS.
Been thinking of trying Liquidsmooth or EOS4. Anybody here tried running those 3? Which did you prefer and why?
Only main reason I would try those others is for more customization options/different look.

I'm using EOS 4 for several weeks. All other JB Roms caused many SODs and RRs. Is anybody testing Gierdos CM 10? I really liked it. But this SODs made me sick. Would be interesting if anybody made better experiences with newer versions. Got a 101G.

Most stable AOSP based Rom you've tried so far?

So far I've only tried out TouchWiz based Roms for stability on our Verizon GS3. I've worked up the confidence to now try a AOSP Rom haha. Mainly stayed away because people said there were some data issues and problems with external SD cards with AOSP Roms? But anyways.... So which AOSP based Rom is the most stable that you've tried so far? I'm browsing the AOKP website right now.

AOKP is pretty stable? And is it really that small of a Rom 152MB? I see that on the website like whoa for real!? lol....This is my first time trying an AOSP based Rom on my Verizon S3. Is there anything different I should do if I flash this Rom? Do I need to be on a specific OTA version from Verizon? K3, MB1, MD3, ect?

Very stable. I would install the mb1 aio.zip if you haven't already. Just because the md3 is terrible. AOSP ROMs are much smaller than touchwiz ROMs.

I reverted back to MB1 OTA, Rooted, and now I'm running Jelly Beans 15.. Would I already have the AIO or no? And does AOKP Rom include the Motorola "Rings Widget"?

This thread could get closed down as soliciting for our opinions on the "best" or the most "stable" can lead to arguments. Also we can not guarantee you will have the same positive experience of any ROM that gets mentioned in your thread. With that out the way the most stable one that I have tried was Avatar.

You would already have it, so you should be good. Also, AOKP won't have the moto stuff. There may be a flashable zip for that stuff.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Will it be a problem if I flash AOKP on TWRP 2.4.3.0? I don't like the newest version of TWRP because it doesn't read my back ups on the external SD card.

I had a hard time with twrp when it came to going from AOSP to touchwiz ROMs. It only read the 0 folder from the previous AOSP ROM so I wasn't able to get to anything that I downloaded to the download folder which is the sdcard0/download folder. Also from some reason you might have to wipe cache/dalvik Cache/factory reset a few times to successfully flash some ROMs.

Not sure, I'm on the newest twrp, and haven't had an issue with backups on my external.

I'm already on Jelly Beans by beanstown. Been on that Rom. It's awesome for a TouchWiz based Rom. But you can't customize the lock screen shortcuts on the AOSP lockscreen. And I'd like to add more to get a full circle.

theyre all stable.
youll need to flash the rom, then the newest version of the gapps.
there are small features in each that can make people stay or go from each. also every rom runs different frmo phone to phone. same goes for kernels.
Ive been runnning pacman with halo, pie and expanded desktop and im really liking it.
for a standard use setup though i go to slimbean.

I flashed AOKP today and nothing went wrong! Yes!! haha. It was a nice Rom but not as many mods as I was looking forward to. Not many battery icon choices but not a bad Rom at all.

I always keep liquidsmooth on my sd card when I get the itch but I have tried almost all them.

Does aokp still have issues with the video camera recording volume being lower than touch wiz? I know in aosp they fixed it a little but it's still very low comparatively speaking
Sent from my tin can with string

I'm coming from a device (htc incredible 2) that didn't have an update to ICS. So, we had great developers to get ICS & JellyBean on our device. Back then I really loved AOSP, but with this phone I don't. I tried cm10.1 and missed a lot of the stock features, mostly the camera. I'll be sticking with modified stock for the time being because everything works and the camera is awesome. I'm sure everyone has there opinions, I'm interested in them for sure.

Please request this thread be moved from the android development section. Yes I am working on it but I havent had much progress.

WOO HOO!!!!!
Thanks for starting the work on this. Do you think the hardware will be able to support this version of Android? I really hope so, just because I am cheap and don't feel like shelling out the cash right now for a new tablet, that will be rooted and have a custom ROM installed before the weekend hits.

There is nothing wrong with the hardware.

Would you recommend flashing this TF300 Lollipop ROM on a TF700 with grimlock v4 kernel? Is it stable in your opinion?

Just a quick update re Lollipop and Timduru... he's got one out in decent though still Alpha form running on the TF101. That is truly amazing. Have to talk my wife into letting me install it on her TF101. Hehehehe....

Since the Nexus 7 with the Tegra3 chip has a kernel and drivers to run Lollipop, wouldn't this mean Asus and Nvidia have done the development needed to make the Tegra3 compatible with the OS? In theory if Asus wanted to they could release an official Lollipop rom for the TF700.
Being that the Nexus 7 is essentially using the same CPU, could the drivers and anything needed be stripped from that kernel and ported to one that works on our device? Or hell...just use the same kernel?

We were running KitKat on a JB kernel - do you have any reasons why L wouldn't work on that kernel? Probably more critical are the HAL drivers (in /system/lib/hw), but workarounds for potential compatibility problems will be found.

Don't! Grimlock v 4.4 is a kitkat kernel. For lollipop ROM you need a lollipop kernel. And for tf700t you need a tf700t-lollipop-kernel. If someone compiles one I would try timdurus lollipop ROM.

I don't know a thing about coding or I'd be having way more fun with my devices. But I figured new OS, different memory/process management, it would all require a kernel that is new. It was just a thought that if they did it for one Tegra3 device then it shouldn't be hard to bring over if Asus doesn't.

I'm really curious how Lollipop will run on the TF700T. I had a negligible performance boost from 4.2.1 to 4.4.4 and given that Lollipop is loaded with animations, I am a little worried... Kudos to the people trying to make it happen though! Can't wait to see it become reality and test it out! If you need someone to test out the roms, shoot me a message. I have plenty of free time and I might be getting a second tablet (Either a Nexus 9 or a Shield) so I'm not extremely worried about losing the TF700.

timduru's Lollipop ROM is in stable release now, and I flashed it to my 300 yesterday. I believe it is faster than his KitKat version, and that's quite an achievement. The ART runtime is purported to work well with machines that are not overly-endowed with specs, and so far my experience supports that.
I, too, am looking forward to a KatKiss-LP ROM on my 700 also. So far I have seen no reports of a successful, well, port. Someone tried to use Grimlock v4-tf700 and so far has failed.

Any news about CM12 ?
