Help choosing ROM - Asus Transformer TF700

OK, my problem is I can't decide what ROM is best for me, And I'd rather not spend time trying them all out when I have all you beautiful people who can give me their input. The two ROMs I've used are cm10 and liquid smooth. The issue is though cm10 hasn't had any real bugs for me yet, it isn't as fast or smooth as liquid smooth is. But liquid smooth although faster, seemed to be a bit more buggy. So I'm looking for a ROM that's stabile and not too buggy' but is also smooth and fast. I don't need a ton of customization but a small to decent amount would be nice and a few nice features wouldn't hurt but neither of those are necessary. . What ROMs would you guys suggest for me and if possible why. Thanks ahead of time.

I suggest Cromi. Plain and simple. It has its small bugs of course, considering it is based upon stock. However, the support for it is fantastic and it comes with many options. I am looking forward to 4.2.1. The tf300 got the option to switch between layouts of 4.1 and 4.2 and I think that is great of ASUS to come out with, and when ASUS released 4.2.1 for the TF700, I am sure sbdags will keep that implemented. With 4.2.1 I am sure will come some more smoothness and stability. CM is smooth, but does not seem as fast as Cromi. It also depends on the launcher and settings you have.
Good Luck on your choice.

I've been researching around the forums and it seems like clean ROM is good' but which is the best, I saw two, ace and inheritance

There is no "best" per say. Each has its ups and downs. I however prefer Cromi over other because it is stocked based and it still has the 4.1.1 tablet UI. Also, since Cromi has the most users, feedback and stability will be best. It is a matter of your choice in the end. Just try it out, you can always nandroid backup your current and try out others.
However, 3.4.5 just came out and I would wait. I personally am experiencing problems ATM and trying to figure it out. Problem currently (March 21 2013) seems to revolve around the new Cromi Boot Logo. So when in options just choose the Stock or Nexus 7 Boot logo instead.

Thanks for the help, I'll try both, see which I like more. Finally be able to settle down and not keep switching between ROMs like I have.

ICS vs JB for TF300T does anyone did comparison ?

Hi TF300T owners, I just wanted to know if someone did a comparison for the performance is there any real improvement ? What about apps side ? Shifting between screens and lags ? We want video showing that I searched YouTube but nothing there !!!
I'm TF700 owner but I'm really interesting about the TF300 JB update since I feel my device is not stable nether not faster than Nexus 7

Well, i did have a little play around with a nexus 7 in a store. I don't own it but it did feel much smoother.

I just did a lil video install and quick overview of the one JB ROM available for the tf300.

Its JB HyDRO ROM. Much faster and smoother than stock JB.

Stock tweaks

I know I might get flamed for this, but I don't feel like ROMing. With that in mind, are there tweaks that I can do to make my TF700 run any faster?
Thanks

With pure stock, no root and locked bootloader - enable force 2gpu in settings ->developer option. ...That about it!
With pure stock rooted and locked bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758160 , and install browser2ram for smooth browsing.
But the true performance, with smooth, fast and snappy - unlocked and rooted with Cleanrom, Clemsync kernel and data2sd. It's like driving a race car versus a ford Pinto.

CM10.1 or CROMI 3.2?

What is everyone doing? I ran CleanROM for a long time but I'm curious what everyone else thinks?

This should've been posted in the Q&A section. That being said, I've been using CROMI for a very long time. Haven't tried CM10.1 yet.

CM10.1 hands down. (make sure to post non-development related posts in General/QA next time )
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I was running cm10.1 and now running cleanrom 3.1 and just now updating to 3.2 I prefer cleanrom over cm10.1 at least on this device, I an running cm10.1 on my galaxy note 1 and 2 and on my galaxy tab 7.7 I think it really depends on the device and what else is available my 3 nexus 7's are all running paranoid android latest pie beta and that is also great

I switch between the two alot and I do prefer CM10.1 but I can't get my external harddrive or flashdrive to mount through the dock, I've tried three or four different file managers but none seemed to work, only the Stock ASUS one, which won't work in CM10.1 (at least I couldn't get it to) If anyone knows how to do this please let me know...
I ran CM10.1 was the first custom rom I loaded on my Infinity. It still had problems with lag on the browser and opening apps. Plus CM10.1 didn't have the cool Asus toggles and Asus apps loaded. So I tried CleanRom when it was 2.1. Man what a big difference in performance and touch response.
The original developer of Cleanrom left and a new developer now taken over and still making big improvements. If it wasn't for CleanRom this tablet wouldve been doomed with all of Asus critical flaws. The hardware is nice but the I/O problem and shaky firmware caused a mediocre experience which is unacceptable for a high end tablet. I don't think I can go try another ROM unless CROMI stops development. I was really amazed what CROMI has done to this tablet.
I am partial to CROMI myself. It runs super smooth, and sbdags is continuously making improvements.

CROMI -- I did actually try out CM10 in the earlier versions (which I'm sure do not even hold a candle to the more recent ones), but I did not like on this particular device (I have a few others that run/ran CM to great satisfaction). I like the keyboard toggles (available in the more recent M versions, I know), and the external storage functions must work impeccably for me to even seriously consider to try out CM10 at the moment...
I've donated to all three projects (CM, CleanROm and CROMI) and I do hope that CM10 is succesful and popular -- no hard feelings here.

Good bye warranty

Screw it. I'm unlocking, should I use cromi or cm10.1?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD
Probably a good choice -- lots of threads on it already, however. Strictly speaking it all comes down to personal preference. Just to repeat myself: CROMI if you just start out, maybe try something else later. I stay on CROMI.
You can also try one out for a bit, back it up using recovery, and flash a new rom . that way if you don't like one or the other you can restore it in like 5-10 minutes time depending on the amount of apps you had. I also second cromi first and try other ROMs after you work with it for a little.

I decided to go with cromi first. I've used cyanogenmod on both of the smartphones I've owned and I love it. I'll probably switch to that eventually

That's how I ended up with my own build of CM10.1 on my TF700. I would highly recommend it having voided my warranty before even getting the device back home and subsequently trying everything else. But to each their own.. Good luck!
i think im going to switch to cm10.1 just because i prefer lots of customizations. and I really love cyanogenmod

Is overclocking worth it?

Ok so I'm a bit new to the community in terms of tablet hardware and wanted to understand the concept of overclocking now from what I've heard the Asus tf300t has the capability to be increased to 1.5ghz it's stock is 1.3 I believe so my question is:
what are the basic benefits of overclocking.
How do you go about doing it? (app, or what not)
What damages can be done if done incorrectly. (boot loop or brick)
If this isn't the right place to post this direct me to someplace better please! Thank you!

You'll need to flash another Kernal. There are various guides on this forum depending on what firmware you're on
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Benefit is basically making your tablet faster and smother under heavy tasks such as gaming. Light tasks wont be affected much.
In order to over clock, you need custom kernel and a software that allows you to over clock or under clock. My favorite is set CPU which is paid ( there are tons of CPU app)
If you over clock too much, tablet will become very unstable and also CPU can overheat much easier which can lead to hardware failure. I recommend you to overclock up to 1.6 max if you ever gonna over clock.

bottom line yes. its a night and day difference on this device. at least mine.

I second this when playing games. I do also see a very slight difference in normal day to day use. Just dont overvolt, that i heard is bad for the chip and greatly shortens the length of the chip. Overclocking isnt as bad for it.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
Ah ok so you do need a custom kernel/rom in order to gain access to overclocking. Well I've had problems before with flashing custom roms(soft bricked) and I'm kinda hesitant about it but I mean I've ran emulation on 1.3ghz and it runs smooth like for epsxe. I guess it's a matter of preference really?

I think that it is worth to unlock if you use a 1tb hard disk. It is more useful to overlock GPU as it will boost your perfomance in UI and games.

Overclock improved my tablet experience
When I was running cleanrom 3.4.1 and Unters TF300T 10.4.4.25 Kernel I had it O/C'ed to 1.6.
The ui and games like beach buggy blitz , dead trigger ran noticeably smoother .
Now I'm bac on stock android 4.2.1 from Asus website its nowhere near as smooth probably not even as smooth as stock 4.1.2 imo.
ya im on cm10.1 at the moment. over clocked to 1.6ghz currently. i find whether it was clean rom 3.4.4 or cm10.1 1.6ghz seems to be my tablets sweet spot. with my tablet and dock together on cm10.1 i have lasted like 4 days unplugged laying around with daily use for alittle bit. grand theft auto final fantasy dead trigger. all play so smooth.
Tergrak over clock let's you over clock any ROM, you don't need a custom ROM or kernel just root. Its on the play store.

+1 for overclocking. You can run the tablet at the lower speeds to save the battery when just messing around but you have the option to turn it up when needed. I overclock every device I own if possible. :good:

are you sure it works? TF300 is not listed on "supported devices" and one review from this tablet said that this tablet is not supported
