Recommended ROM and Kernel?

Sorry for making a thread as such but i know little about the development on the TF300 and would appreciate if people could mention what kernel and ROM they recommend for good overall daily use (fast but stable).
Also, it'd be helpful if useful things for the TF300 such as browser2ram were mentioned. If they are already mentioned in a thread, i apologise but i haven't seen it.
Thanks

CleanROM, the Newest Version. Now it's 3.0.4
It's very fast & stable

Thanks for the answer. I think i will go with that ROM when i decide to root and install a custom ROM.
Is a kernel recommended in the cleanrom thread?

Yes, You can install kernel installer 1.2 from CleanROM thread, but I'd rather Asus Stock Kernel. Other kernels are for Infinity. That kernels will work on our TF300T, but only in 95%. You will have problems for example with front camera. This ROM is enough fast with Asus stock kernel. In today upgrade to 3.1, CleanROM can redduce Lags in games.

Thank you. Are there no other stable kernels other than stock?

In kernel installer you can choose Unter's kernel. CleanROM developer reccomended Asus stock kernel. CleanROM based on Stock. Maybe you can install kernel which is made for stock on CleanROM, but I'm not sure. You'd better ask in CleanROM thread.

Thanks, can you overclock on stock kernel?

No, I can't. I tried do this by SetCPU.

So is cleanrom smooth without even overclocking?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

Yes, It's. For example NFS Most Wanted 2 doesn't have any lags.

CleanROM 3.1 with stock rom works like a charm...
if you want to overclock you can install the TF300T.zip from Untermensch..is is overclocked to 1600Mhz...the stock ROM runs at 1200Mhz I believe. Overclocked kernels drain your battery faster though.
I have used the TF300T.zip Untermensch kernel, but went back to stock (CleanROM 3.1) , cause it is fast enough.

I think I might as well stick with stock then since currently, I don't even know how to flash a kernel on the TF300. Thanks for everyone's help!

I just rooted and installed CleanROM and can attest to the fact that my tablet is quite a bit smoother with it. I haven't had a single instance of lag since switching to it, but I'm still testing it out.

I'm using Cleanrom with the kernel from The Ultra Fast Rom - JB Overclock Edition V03 ! by Surdu_Petru.. I'd installed The Ultra Fast Rom first then Cleanrom. This allows the tablet to be overclocked to 1.7 though I have kept it at 1.6 using No Frills CPU ...

Thanks for the replies. It must be said, my TF300, after getting rid of every app etc. On it (bar alarm clock extreme) is, dare I say it, smooth! Well, it's much smoother than it was although things aren't perfect.

CleanROM 4.2.1 vs CleanROM 4.1.1

I'm on the last updated CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6) using unters kernel and EVERYTHING just works flawlessly and smooth. I like to always flash the newest thing out and been debating about 4.2.1? Anyone else debating like me? I see there's really no alternative kernel support on the new CleanROM 4.0 but how does it overall compare to the latest update on CleanROM 4.1.1 (3.4.6)? Battery life? Speed? Functionality?

I'm still on the older bootloader too and running CROMI v3.3. I like to keep up to date on the newest software too but I've decided to hold off until they at least get an oc kernel and release a newer version of TWRP.
I'm very happy with v3.3. It runs flawlessly for me. I guess I'll just stick with it for the time being.

Yeah, I talked to Elesbb and he said his was running great without the OC Kernel too. Imagine what it's going to be like once a performance kernel is released. Wheweeee!

Agreed. Really smooth even without OC kernel
(OC kernel never worked for me anyways as it would make my tf300 freak out for some reason)
really happy with the move

Missing developer options

I have JB 4.,2 on this TF700 and just ran the unlock tool with the intention of switching to CROMi. I was going to install recovery when I noticed that Developer Options was gone from the settings! How can I set USB debugging on? I THINK I set it when I had ICS, but I now have no way of verifying it.

Thanks! I knew that (duhhhhh . . .). This will teach me not to do anything interesting on this tablet after an all-nighter. I'm getting too old for this.

[Q] Availibility of Transformer Pad Infinity 3G or LTE in the USA

need help, please. tell me if there is an online retailer in the USA selling transformer pad infinity 3g or lte, other than the WiFi ones widely available.

I don't think so. Don't recall a version with data connectivity even being built for the Infinity.

Legendary is right, they did not make a 3g version of the TF700, they did make one of the TF300 though.

You mean, the TF700KL doesn't exist?

I thought the KL was a totally different tablet then the TF700, just same naming, owell.

It has a totally different SoC, making it incompatible with TF700T kernels and ROMs, but the case and display are identical or at least very similar.

[Q] 4.3 Kernel w/ Data2SD support?

Title kind of says it all, I have heard of folks in a few posts for 4.3 based roms mention just running a kernel with Data2SD built in. Bryce's kernel is the only 4.3 kernel i have found and it does not appear to have data2sd included....
4.3 runs pretty well without it but it would be nice to have.

That's kernel version 6 kind of supports 4.3 and has preinit support built in which means with a small script you can set the mount points for data2sd before android boots.
Pop over to his thread for info.

Thanks for the reply, as far as I know that will not work on 4.3: From that thread:

No this kernel is only for stock based roms, it will not work on CM 10.2 (currently there's no custom kernel for CM10.2).

I used it on CM10.2 as did that. The new version is 4.3 compatible as it says in the changelog. Although he didin't put it in the first post it is near the end of the thread. You also need to inject his modules into CM.
If you pop over to his dual boot thread he shows you how to do this as well

Awesome thanks for posting again! I will give this a try right away! I'd seriously contemplating going down the path of compiling my own....but would rather not

Well I just tried that6 and it booted but phone app crashed dialog prevented using it…..I am running CMB so maybe vanilla cm10.2 would work…....

True Story, I missed the step about the ramdisk for sure! I fail.
Will try again tonight.
