I applaud your unbridled optimism Sir.

ASUS hinted at this yesterday on FB. Their post "When Mr. Jellybean is in the office, it means something good is coming."

I've learned from the TF101 ICS update - be careful what you wish for!!! For those that don't know, my (and others) TF101 has basically become very un-reliable since they introduced ICS.
While I truly *hope* we don't have such issues with the Jelly Bean upgrade, I certainly don't have a lot of confidence in Asus at this point.
I just hope that they don't rush it and test it properly before releasing it and forcing the upgrade on us (which is exactly what they did with the ICS update on the TF101).
I do know that my TF700 has some of the same ICS issues that the TF101 had (OpenGL out of memory errors, for example, which causes your launcher to go "blank")....

It looks like they are using 3.x.x kernel on JB, someone can confirm this?

Great! Very exciting news to wake up to!
When Firmware actually starts dropping DON'T FORGET TO!!
*Side load your FLASH PLAYER. If you want flash. It will no longer show up in the Playstore any longer
*Revert back whatever modding/altering to system files just in case Rooters. Only if you want your OTAS to actually complete. Or if running a custom rom it wouldn't work anyways as you already know.
*Don't forget to backup your Root with Voodoo Ota Rootkeeper! You will definitely lose root if you don't
Time to obsessively check every 5 minutes for the update!!!

*sighs* I want all my devices to run Jellybean today, here is to hoping it will happen.

As I'd normally recommend rooting myself, I don't think it's necessary in this case. Why not just install .apk with Flash after allowing unknown sources? I believe it should suffice, although I don't know if it's any different with the JB system of permissions.

No need to root to install Flash on Jelly Bean. At least not on the Nexus 7.

I can confirm - my father just bought a Nexus 7 - I emailed the Flash app to him and he was able to install it and it worked without any rooting or anything.
He used Boat Browser (per my recommendation) - not sure about other browsers, but I assume it work with all expect for Chrome, of course...

To everyone who wants flash, the easy way is to place the apk somewhere on Dropbox/Google Drive/Physical medium and install it from there, also since this week Adobe Flash Player is not available in the Play Store. http://www.pcworld.com/article/260901/android_flash_player_rip_how_to_get_it_now_that_its_gone.html

Everyone remember to backup the files created by titanium backup themselves to a removable SD card or your PC.
As for JB, I am not sure we can expect it for the TF700 right away ... the TF300 is so similar to the nexus 7, I'm sure they only slightly modified their nexus 7 kernel.

Is it just me or does anyone else thinks it's wrong that Asus updated their cheap tablet before their flagship?

No, the tf300 probably just happened to be ready first. It would silly to make all of the tf300 wait a few days just because the tf700 wants it first lol

I tried reloading the .30 firmware by putting the zip in root of internal storage. It updated as a downgrade but I was still on job when it was done, so not sure if you can with a locked boot loader.

Do you think it is worth jumping in now? I don't have specific expectation on JB except it is the latest from google.

Just depends on your taste. You might review other upgrade post stories first to be sure. Some are flawless, some not.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

THelook and feel of JB is for the most part similiar to ICS.
Their are some differences you will notice:
Animations: Some new and smooth animations that are nice. Animationa arre a minor thing but add a nice touch.
Project butter: My tablet does seem to run smoother and I have yet to have a wait/close prompt pop up. Of course I may get some, but so far it seem to have improved in that dept.
Google Now & search: This is what I wanted most. I really like the voice search, it really fast with returning answers. I wish I did a few more thens like open apps and tell me my next apointment when asked, bt I'm sure that will come with future updates. Google Now is prety neat and I'm interesting in seeing how it starts to work once I have had it a while and it can develop some patterns and give me info based off what it believes is relavent for me.
This is just an initial impression is I just updated last night and haven't really got much day to day expierance with JB, but so far so good. So far I don't really see the down side. You gain a few things and don't really lose much. Unless you have a particular app that dosen't play well wih JB yet.

Can't wait to get jellybean but I'll wait patiently for it

You could learn in these forums to root, unlock and flash ROMs; giving you an open ticket to run whatever you want on ur tablet.

PS. My device is unlocked.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash whatever ROM you want from the custom recovery you installed.

You can flash anything, doesn't mean you'll be successful. The current recoveries can't support this due to different boot and kernel mods. The guys are currently trying get a fix for those on OTA JB and all. I would say sit tight and wait for conformation that Twrp or cmw can backup and restore boot from diff firmwares. I tried this and got stuck at Asus logo and couldn't boot into os. But was able to get official JB back up. So now I'm stuck on JB for now.

Browser2RAM and Jelly Bean

Does anyone know if Browser2RAM woroks with the stock browser in Jelly Bean? Or is it uneccesary after the upgrade?
Thanks
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda premium

I use it and still makes the stock browser the fastest out there, thanks to it

of course as always the downside is that after a reboot the browser settings & bookmarks are reset

Just to clear up; the stock browser in the new JB rom has changed to Chrome, right?
If so, I would says its working. I'm using it (browser2ram), and it makes the stock browser a lot faster.

Thanks for the input. I have both the Asus stock browser and Chrome after the JB update. With browser2ram installed the Asus stock browser is faster, but I dont notice much difference with Chrome.

"Unlocked" ro.carrier
For now the kernel itself is still stock however I've unlocked the ability to change ro.sf.lcd_density and ro.carrier in build.prop and unsecured the boot.img for true root access.
Not much on the first release but there's more to come soon.

10. Wait until the install process ends and then restart your device

This is awesome, installed it and now its nice and awesome DPI again on JB thanks for this

Splendid! I look forward to seeing what this evolves into! I personally believe that a good, clean, professionally done kernel by an individual that actually cares instead of ASUS devs, is what we need to make this device perfect. :highfive:

Is writing an overclocked kernel hard to do? I mean, the tegra t33 is already powerful enough but some extra gigahertz would be nice.
Maybe it's just that I'm insane but I think overclocking would be a cool thing to implement, that is if it isn't hard to do.

Super excited about this! Really hoping to see some over-clocking action heading in our direction at some point... Thanks!

This works perfectly with CleanRom1.1.
In case anyone was wondering, the default kernel is stuck at 240 DPI even though it shows to be set o 160. I actually prefer 240 over 160 due to these 51 year old eyes, but sometimes I do like to change the DPI for a 'new view'.
Thanks Dev!

I never tried the build.prop for dpi before but just installed this and wow everything is so nice and small lol this rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working fine for me with 200dpi, thanks !

Just flashed to check it out. 160 is pretty damn small lol.
Quickly changed to 200 and its better but I'll probably end up back at 230 soon enough.
thanks again and look forward to more tweeking.

So what are you guys using tochange your dpi? What all changes when lets say you goto 200 or so, just the status bar or...?
Also, does this effect the play store at all? I think on my nexus at one point it did.

I used the build.prop editor in ROM Toolbox. Everything changes with 200 DPI, I find that about the best without going too small.
You can use a patched Play Store from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838077 this removes the DPI check and device restrictions !

I just use build.prop editor. I run my infinity at 200 DPI and have never had Play Store problems. Same goes for my Nexus 7 which I keep at 190 dpi

I tried this out and it runs fine but won't download ANY apps now.
Which version are you using?

[ROM][4.3][EXPERIMENTAL] CyanogenMod 10.2

*** This will be a one time build and post before nightlies start, so you can enjoy 10.2 for a bit until it goes live. ***
1. Make sure you are on the ASUS 4.2 bootloader
2. Make sure you are using TWRP 2.5 or greater or CWM 6.0.3.x
3. Download the ROM here md5: dfae3ea0caac535f15cdb2daea82c585
4. Download the 4.3 gapps here md5: c34cc1d0d8f7209feed07a6af308405e
5. Make a backup before proceeding, you are heading into experimental territory.
5. Install CM, then flash gapps.
6. Reboot
I won't be monitoring this much, as for bugs etc, so feel free to help each other here.
*** Please do not file bugs or report bugs, for both this ROM or against apps that may force close, etc to Play Store developers. ***
Known issue(s):
1. Can't install Chrome Beta from the market (due to some selinux whitelist issues)
2. Some apps are not up to snuff yet with 4.3, they crash.
3. You may need to re-install some of your Google Apps installed from the market if you don't wipe the tablet out.
4. Netflix doesn't play video in HD, it will continue to play sound and subtitles, but video will freeze at the last moment it was in SD resolution.
5. Secondary user profile issues.
6. You tell each other!
ENJOY!

Thanks for the work! Seems to run great for me now that I'm using your repo for the vendor binaries. Much obliged.

will this also be the official gapps for the device or it'll be whatever rootzwiki is putting out? would be nice to remove apps freely available on playstore (example: gmail and maybe others)
thanks for reading.

So far other than some lag here and there this is strangely the best ROM I have used on this device

Was wondering when this was coming.
Thanks again for all the work to keep our tablets current and relevant!

Just finished flashing this new ROM, but I couldn't get superuser permissions in any app.
The root problem is a headache in 4.3, our fantastic devs will surely find a way to get over that problem.

I've flashed the 07-30 build, it's the same as in the op's link for the ROMS.
I tried all root apps that I have couldn't get superuser permissions in any.
But I didn't uninstalled them maybe that was why I had the problem.
Actually the ROM is very good for an experimental.

I cant wait to Flash this. Android 4.3's TRIM support should really help reduce the constant lag that often makes our Transformers completely unusable most of the time. Mine has been sitting at home running the boinic application for the past week as I cant even type out an email without the lag.

This is for you Titanium Backup users. I would not restore data, this is a new version of android.
For TiBu fix
Go: menu > preferences > backup folder location
Click: Detect > Whole Device
Change location to "/storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup"
(if you have no backups saved to SD, hit Back nav key until you can select this directory manually)
IF asked if you'd like to move files to new directory, select NO
You then can restore apps.
On TiBu's Twitter they released a beta which supposedly fixes inability to uninstall apps via TiBu, but I haven't tested this

You should try it yourself, make a backup in case that hdmi doesn't work but if it does you stay in Android 4.3.
I'm feeling it a little bit smoother than CM 10.1 not a single FC or random reboot on latest version.
