Hi ! I want to hear your opinions about the new Jelly Bean update. What is positive and what is negative with the new update. Also what are your opinions about the new functions .
I noticed that there is another Thread about this. My mistake. I was typing for too long.
i have use JB in a few devices already, Galaxy nexus, Galaxy S3, Nexus 7, Asus prime TF201. I can tell you right away that this version is the worth of all. the opening and closing animation of apps is jerky. Not smooth at all. The task manager to close app is always butter smooth in other devices when you scroll up and down, here is jerky. Not sure if this might add because of the 1920x1200 resolution which is 4x higher than 720p and require more cpu power. This is kind of disappointed, i really starting to think that this resolution is to much for a tegra 3.

Are you on the balanced or performance mode? From what I understand the modes that save battery can csuse this with JB very noticeably sometimes.

balance and performance. both setting perfomance about the same. tab on the setting icon, or browser icon, the new animation for JB is suppost to be butter smooth but in this version of JB for our TF700 is jerky. scrolling and pinch to zoom seem find for a jb rom. Can wait for zeus to grab this and do his magic.

Ye. I find this quite disapointing to. Its not smooth at all. I think the full hd res is to much to handle for the tegra3
From my units standpoint it is not rooted and never has been the upgrade has made it much faster. I now understand what 'buttery smooth' means. No issues at this point with the download, upgrade, app loading or functioning afterwards. Wifi works as does gps. I use Boat as my browser and its significantly faster. Not quite as fast as my iPad3 but pretty close. Scrolling web pages is without lag now at least for me. Thank you Asus for a GREAT upgrade.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Get simple image live wallpaper. It causes no lag (multipicture lwp sometimes does) and it has no cropping either. You can even set different images for portrait and landscape modes.
I had similar jerkiness and slowness after the initial update. After reading the TF201 forums I was ready to do a factory reset right after updating. Since then, I've restored all my apps and widgets, regained root, downloaded lots of things in the background while using the tab etc.. I'm happy to report It's buttery smooth. If you haven't done a factory reset after upgrading, do yourself a favor and give it a try.
Also, I had an interesting bug. My SD card wasn't recognized until after I rebooted the 2nd time after my factory reset. It's working fine now.. it even seems to be reading/writing faster than before.
positive - we can now take pics while recording with the stock camera.
negative - the stock camera has a bit of a hiccup.

Was the Screensaver option always available under Asus Customized Settings? I dont remember it being there.
Pretty cool that the notifications now show the sender and subject for outstanding emails.
So far so good. The installation went flawlessly! Seems to be much more smooth! Testing-IP

1. Love the fact that we can pinch and expand the notification bar to see more details
2. The ability to just say "Google" from within search and it automatically prompts you to voice search is some next level sh*t!
3. System bar lock FINALLY
4. Overall though its not as "buttery" smooth as i imagined it would be, maybe doing a factory reset will help?
5. I dont know if anyone has checked but did they update supernote and polaris as well?

1) I have the no icons on home screen bug until you flip back and forth.
2) Cool tool only shows in portrait mode for me now.
If you run into problems with apps and performance, I suggest to perform a factory reset. That should clear things up and insure a clean Jelly Bean experience. Also since JB just droped this morning, don't expect it to be smooth. The new OS needs to settle before you can truly see a difference. Just wait at least 24 hours before you praise or complain about your experience. But for the meantime, I applied a cold boot after I noticed a bit of sluggishness. Seems to have fixed that. Ill probably do a factory reset if my apps act up though.

Proper procedure for this needs to be clarified.. can anyone who has performed a factory reset and maintained root chime in?
We all know that the animations/transitions for JB on the infinity are a bit choppy/slow. A possible fix I found is with Nova Launcher. In Nova settings/ look and feel/app animation, select Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course this will change the animations to ICS but I find them way better and faster than the stock JB on the Infinity. Also I feel the tablet snappier. Please share your thougths.
My animations after the JB update have been so much more smooth than ics even after just first installing it install. Even after factory resetting and not using Nova launcher for the little bit of time I had no issues with the animations at all in fact they seemed to improve slightly after the factory reset. If you haven't done that I would suggest doing so, that may help.

I believe this is quite subjective part. Some feels nearly perfect, other don't. Just like in video game some complains couple frame drops here and there, and others don't care at all.
One thing that may be helpful if you can is to show us a video clip of before and after so we know what are exactly the benefit.

I'm just saying that with this method the animations/transitions seem a lot smoother. You can try it and let me know, it would be helpful.
My animations are smooth, but web browsing is useless on website with more than a few pictures on them. I can literally wait 3-4 seconds everytime i scroll, before the graphics catch up. Bought mine a day ago, still undecided on wether to just return it.
It work!!! I was so worried. I had a friend buy this for me in the US as UK amazon is still not available and when it is, is at a ridiculous price. Got it 2 days ago and the first thing I did was to update the firmware which was available OTA so I didn't get to see ICS on it. JB was so bad. This Nova option is great. Let's see if an update fixes the issues. cheers.
I have a TF700T and a Ipad3. The iPads claime to fame is internet content consumption and that is where its still ahead of every one else in fluidity and smoothness as well as speed of loading a web pages content. With that said my TF700T with JB as its OS is close to my Ipad3 in these functions. Its far better than the TF101 and TF201 that I have had. If all your going to use a tablet for is web content then go and get a iPAD3 and enjoy. If however you intend to utilize the TF700T for all of its tremendous other features than just accept the 3-4 seconds wait and be content. My Ipad3 has nothing to conpair with my TF700T on the file management side as well as internal memory capabilities. JG has speed up every aspect of my TF700T to the point that its seeable in ease of transitions from screen to screen, application loading, use of applications. It is fare and above anything Asus has put out in the Transformer series before. Web content is only a single feature of the TF700T. The hardware features that Asus has brought into the TF700T tablet make it way more versitile than my Ipad3. I am on my TF700T 4-6 hours each day so much so that I have two dock keyboards. One connected to a AC outlet and fully charged ready for use and the other one married to my tablet. Again, if your looking for the ultimate smoothness and fluidness of only web content IMHO buy a Ipad3 and leave the TF700T alone because you will never be satisfied. If however you can find value in all of the many additional features that Asus has designed into the TF700T tablet and dock keyboard than accept the slight delay and wait patientely until Asus is able to make the OS as smooth and fluid as IOS is at this point in time.

You're so right. it's much much better. thanks for the tip. Dolphin browser is even running faster and loading pages faster.
i prefer the stock launcher instead of nova or apex. Somehow the stock launcher is all around smoother than other launchers now that we upgraded to JB. Yes, the JB animation is semi choppy but nova or apex does not perfomance like the stock launcher.
I believe one of the reasons this is true is that after-market launchers run on top of the stock launcher, so there is a double memory usage.

You can always freeze the stock launcher.
Yup, but then if something breaks in the after market one you're hosed without a launcher....well, unless you're conversant with adb shell commands.
No need for this. Go to development options and set all three animation speeds to 0.5. Your tablet will begin to fly...
I know there are a lot of us TF700 owners out there, but I am always surprised by how few downloads I see everytime I go to update CleanROM Inheritance.
Let's all give a shout out to which ROM you are using on your Infinity and why it is the best option for how you use the tablet.
It will get overly complicated if I include the kernel version in the poll, so let us know which kernel works best for you as well and if you are using Data2SD.
Sorry if I missed any options.
For me - rockin' CROMI 3.03 with Clemsyn 1.3-1.8 kernel. So far super smooth and stable. Nothing fancy on my setup - not into theming or heavy gaming. I do wish we had more options for extending battery....
ParanoidAndroid here, per app DPI settings makes my life so much better it's not even funny. Some examples of how: I reduced the dpi on Shortyz Crossword so that the clue text becomes large enough to read and the keyboard is usable; on the other hand I increased the dpi on my launcher and web browsers (especially overskreen) to get more screen real estate out of them by reducing the size of the status bars, icons and controls. Basically this rom lets me fix programs that have issues with high resolutions without affecting other programs that aren't having problems, truly a great rom!
Currently CleanROM Inheritance 2.7.2 ODEXED with Clemsyns 13-18
Running ADW.Launcher Ex with Multi Picture Live Wallpaper app..... and boy it's smooth and fast
and it looks absolutely Great!
I'm waiting for new 3.x ODEXED which should be even faster
Cleanrom 3.0.3
Went back to Nova after using ADW for a while. I too use Multi Picture Live Wallpaper.
This rom saved me from selling my Infinity.
Baked Black Bean
Wow, I'm the only one who has voted for Baked Black Bean. You guys should give it a try. It's real smooth.

I'm currently on CROMI 3.0.3 with Clemsey Universalstock700ver2 kernel and so far everything seems 95% smooth. It's mainly the transitions that arent smooth. Games are definitely better with the overclocked gpu. But I will try Baked Black Bean. Which Kernel do you use with it?
EDIT: Just saw that theres bug in replying with the Email app which I use a lot so I guess I'll have to skip trying Black Bean for now. There's a camera bug too which isnt much of a big deal.

I'm a big fan of CM 10.1, it's very smooth and fast.
I finally unlocked last week. I'm on CleanRom Inheritance 3.x, I was largely happy with ASUS' JB implementation and was just looking for performance enhancements and debloating so something like CROMI is ideal for me. I will probably add the data2sd hack after I get a new 64gb sd card.
Still on CleanROM 2.4. Any particularly compelling reasons why I should switch to CleanROM inheritance?

Wow - surprised at how few of us are using the custom ROMs available for the TF700 overall. As a CleanROM user I tend to see a few new users every week that post questions as they flash for the 1st time, but I guess I expected much more volume overall.
Of course I realize that the custom ROM type does not generally hang out in the General forums, so the #s are very anecdotal.
Does the Build matter???

I feel the same way - and became reluctant when I noticed the build difference.
I am build 10.4.4.16 while Inheritance is designed from Build 10.4.4.23 (or does it even matter?)
CM10.1 but I should've waited a bit longer with upgrading.
I'd be happily rockin CM10 if I could just UNLOCK the @#$%ing thing.

Just keep trying. I had issues too. But the third day of trying it about 20 times a day it finally worked.
I'm rocking inheritance with the kernel 1.8ghz, 700gpu, 1450mw. Love it. I have used cm10 in the oat on my old fallacy tab, it's also great. I really the half way stock feel.
Hey guys,
I've been trying to find a way to tweak the touchscreen sensitvity so it doesn't feel choppy when I'm moving the screen around.
Even at the most silky smoothest of apps, I can see a little "jump" that is not entirely silky smooth, like the iPad.
Also it is almost impossibe to use any kind of drawing apps because of this..
I tried TouchScreenTune, but it doesn't work for the Infinity.
What can I do to tweak the sensitivity of the screen? Can I use some sort of file explorer and find a setting file that contains this information, and change it?
My Infinity is rooted, unlocked and flashed with CleanROM 3.2.2.

If you are talking about touch sensitivity, then the setting is in /system/build.prop. This is tweak by Cleanrom, look for
touch.pressure.scale=0.001
Hope this is what you're looking for.
Sounds like you have an underlying issue.
I'd start with flashing 3.3 odex with the default kernel.

My TF700t is still stock. One thing that bugs me is how slow it is! Choppy, loads apps kinda slow. Will rooting and using a custom ROM speed things up?
Also ---- I read on here that custom ROMs put the navigation buttons in the middle? Is that true?
Thanks for you help!
Rooting allows certain apps that will speed the tablet up. Installing a custom rom will increase the speed of the tablet tremendously,however to do so you must unlock your bootloader which then voids the warranty on your tablet. If you install a 4.2.x rom yes it will move the navigation buttons into the middle, however not all roms are 4.2 yet. When ASUS releases 4.2.1 for the tf700 they will have it optioned to switch between layouts, which will be implemented into Cromi when it is update, is what I guess will happen. So you will have the choice. But you wont be forced to use the new layout.

If you root it, you can install Browser 2 Ram and that will help with the browser lag.
To install a custom ROM you will have to unlock the bootloader, which will void your warranty -for good!
And it can make all the difference...
I was frustrated and disappointed with the TF700 until I unlocked and flashed CROMI -now I adore it!
Each custom ROM is slightly different. What you are referring to may be the 4.2. launcher which puts the soft key buttons in the middle.
There is no 4.2. stock or custom Rom for the TF 700 yet. But the 4.2. release for the TF 300 lets you choose between the 4.1. and 4.2. launcher. I would expect it to be the same once we get 4.2.
But then... I would not touch 4.2. unless it's been CROMI'd

Won't be too long. My bet is, Asus releases 4.2. for the TF700 within the next 3-4 months. Then the only question is what the bootloader will look like and how long it will take sbdags and _that to create a CROMI version...
I'm not in a hurry. Entirely happy with what I got right now
And actually.... I'm so contend right now, 4.2 is going to have to have some serious candy to make me move....

If the best they can do is that multi-user capability, I will probably stick to CROMI 3.4.4 as well -- at least we have very little known bugs whereas a new 4.2 stock ROM might bring unknown new and fresh ones. Ugh. Another boatload of work for sbdags and _that...
One thing rooting does is give you the authority to define which apps load on boot (startups). This is huge since you can disable most of these and get back tons more RAM after boot, which is the main reason this device is so glitchy in my opinion - lack of sufficient RAM. Phones run strong in 1GB RAM. Tablets do not. Because you typically load so many more apps on the tablet, all the RAM is gone by the time you boot. And when its gets low on RAM, all hell breaks loose. Not to mention the lag, if thats not bad enought, but 25 apps just can't run together properly in 250MB of space. Now try 260 user apps like I have and you'll agree you have to root.
After rooting and tweeking I now get about 500MB of free RAM after boot and use RAM booster (by Root Uninstaller) to manage and autoboost my RAM regularly. Its now fast, reliable, and runs all week without ever random rebooting like it used to do all the time. Also, Dev Options, enabling "Force GPU rendering" is highly recommended.

VERY interesting discussion. I think I might do it. Excellent feedback! Much appreciated!
Unlocked. Rooted. ROM'd.
I feel like such a rebel! So much for the warranty.
Not sure I notice the speed up yet but I haven't used it enough. Went with CROMI.

I'm going to go ahead and add to the countless times this has been said aready, just for the record, and for the future readers of this thread.
1. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
2. I had a lot of apps installed, but I didn't get past the 130 mark. Who the Hell has so many apps in use anyway? This is an invalid remark, im ny opinion, for it has absolutely no bearing on the device's capabilities, but only says something about the owner. With that kind of number of apps installed, you make it impssible for ANdroid to manage your memory.
I haven't rooted my device yet but when you root it you can use programs that allow you to speed your phone up (battery drain)
