[Q] Most rocksolid ROM for non techie use.

I love my TF101 and I have always had the cutting edge ROMs on it and just accepted any bugs that it may have knowing I can flash a different one later.
Due to my dad going out of town for work and me not needing my TF, I said he could take it to use to browse the web.. He doesnt need it for anything other then that. He has a GNex so knows the basics of how to run ICS/JB. but he is not about to go root anything..
I want to know what is the best and most rock solid ROM to put on my TF for him.. Like once I hand it off to him, everything should work 100%.. No SOD, RR, or any other issues like the dock not charging, etc.. I need to be able to hand it off to him with a Rock solid Daily Driver ROM that just works.. I dont need any crazy customization or anything fancy..
I personally had ran CM10 and AOKP on it and loved both of them, but they both had bugs that wouldnt fly for him..
Would I be better off going back to stock? Is AOSP rock solid? any other ROMs out there that have 0 issues that a nontechie could use?

I recommended you to flash back its stock firmware. As you see, your dad using a stock rom on Gnex. It will lot more easy for your dad to use a stock firmware.

Makes sense.. Just crushes me to take it from JB back to ICS, even though he wont know a difference, it makes a difference to me.. I was hoping someone had a rocksolid rom to avoid me flashing back to stock, but I will probably end up doing just that.

Go rooted stock ICS with G, s 22.6 kernel. Little OC'd to 1200.
I put both the oldies on it and no drama.. Been 5 months..
I just did a trip back home as OS
And checked it.. All good..

Usage isn't the problem..It's bugs in a Rom that he can't deal with. I will flash back to stock and rock a different kernal. Thanks for the help guys.

I recommend Revolver 4 Rom by Gnufabio, it's rock solid and with Guevor kernel v23 it really flies

Jelly Bean: Team EOS Jelly Bean #74 (With K.A.T kernel)
Has all the good stuff like trackpad cursor, launcher buttons work(and notify when they have been used), very smooth
ICS: Revolution or Revolver
Just as solid as the stock firmware, just faster.

CyanogenMod 9 Stable is what I use and found it to be stable as the developer says I understand the desire to test out the latest and greatest but not to actually use it as your main operating system since it's still in the testing phase and has bugs such as crashes, locks ups, random shutdowns/reboots etc personally I would prefer to just temporarily test out the latest and greatest then go back to what's stable.

SGS3 Vanilla JB Rom?

Hello, so far I stuck with stock roms... first ICS now leaked JB... I really would like a plain vanilla jb rom still retaining the great features of the SGS3... can anybody point me in the right direction?

No such thing, as vanilla android is unaltered, i.e. the nexus devices.

I would say that cyanogen mod is probably as close as you'll get. Aokp is close too but has much more customization options.

There isn't one. Use cm10 and don't use the customization. Also you will not have the s3 features like motion controls, camera, etc.
You're best bet is to try a couple out and find what works for you.

I'm gonna work on building vanilla JB rom as soon as the semester ends......don't have enough time till then :\ Should be convenient timing as a lot of the leg-work is already complete

I've already started working on one, but its not looking very promising so far. Its really really difficult getting the build to cooperate, and then once I finally do get it to cooperate thenaybe it won't take too long to get some of the initial kinks ironed out so people can start testing. But at least if I cannot get the bugs worked out enough to post it for people to use there is someone else who will begin working on it shortly. So hopefully we will have a pure AOSP ROM soon, one way or another.

Omega ROM
Give Omega ROM a try, there is an optional to remove all SGS3 default bloatware that comes with it when you flash the ROM.
I am using it because this ROM is having all other SGS3 features like the motion control, stock camera, etc.:good:

[Q] New here... ROM Suggestion?

Hey everyone I'm new here on the TF300 xda forums! I have been over at the HTC Rezound side of things for about a year now so I know a little about rooting. That being said I'm brand new to the tablet world. I bought this tablet for my self for Christmas and I am deciding to root and start customizing this awesome device. I guess what im looking for would be anything i need to know to look for in a ROM. Like what would some good features be and maybe where i should start. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want a fast and buttery smooth stock experience go CleanRom.

If you're looking for a custom stock ROM that's fast and great to use I recommend Hydro 6.0. I use Hydro 6.0 and I love it, it was the only stock ROM I really liked. It's got great features too! GPU is cranked or somewhere around there (stock is 416), forced 120fps, it's fast, comes rooted, acid audio mod and awesome beats equalizer. Oh, and if you do use Hydro 6.0 I recommend using Clemsyn's overclock kernel, overclock it to 1.8 and you will have no issues. It also puts the GPU at 650 which is awesome! NFS MW runs no problem!!!! That kernel makes the ROM sooooo much better. But the best part is it's smooth and buttery, melted jellybean butter candy
Now, if you're looking for a custom ROM that's not stock, check out CM 10.1 or Blackbean 7. Both running Android 4.2.1 (thats a plus) and their easy to use and HIGHLY customization. I personally don't care for them because it's a bit overwhelming with the amount of customization you can do.
The best advice you will receive on this is to just try out different ROMs. Find one that suits you...one that you like, fits your needs and screams YOU.

Do either CM 10.1 or Blackbean 7 come with root?

How about recovery suggestions

I would say use CWM (Clockwork Recovery Mod) because with TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) I heard some people have had some issues such as it freezes in the middle of a flash, it won't boot into recovery or they get soft bricked. I haven't seen anyone with issues like that, that have used CWM.

I use twrp for recovery and no issues.
ROM suggestions above are spot on. The two big stock ROMs are CleanROM and Hydro. I was using CleanROM but now that Hydro is updating again, I just flashed it and am playing around with it. I haven't tried any of the non-stock ROMs. Would love more customization but I am concerned about stability and would want some stock Asus widgets.
For a kernel, I am a fan of Unter's. Clemsyn breaks the front camera, I believe. Unter does a great job.

+1 for TWRP. Many users here have had issues with CWM, including me. I had problems flashing zips and it wouldn't make backups correctly. Since using fast boot to flash TRWP, ive had no issues at all.

I wanted stock android with some of the features that touchwiz offer. Very well put together ROM.

thanks for all answer ,im using stock rom right now :laugh: please give thanks to my post please :victory:

Jellybam
If you have one of it's many supported devices, I highly reccomend Jellybam. Jellybam has many features from many ROMs, and is not disimiliar to PAC-Rom, but I find many more options to customize, like custom notification background, and even custom halo color etc.
Overall, for my P3110, the ROM is quite fast, even without over clock, and the Deva update it quite frequently, plus these updates are stable and most of the time quite major and useful

Just recently picked up the Carbon rom and loving it! I use them for the customization and the fact that they boost performance and battery life

The phone I own is a first gen LG Optimus V. The ROM I use now is MiRaGe CM7.2 ROM. The reasons I rooted and flashed was to get better performance, over clocking, USB Tethering, removel of all bloat ware and useless apps, and to be able to make Nandroid backups of my installed ROM, apps, and settings. Before I did all this, I ran stock Froyo 2.2.1 and was plagued with all sorts of problems the LG Optimus phones were known for. And I was 100% o.k. with voiding my warranty too.:good::laugh:

my device is alcatel currently using experia by shinjarey, long battery life and smooth.

My old HTC Desire used Cyanogen Mod, my current HTC One X and S3 are using Stock Roms still.
My tablet at the moment using Ubuntu Touch, might go for another rom as the Ubuntu Touch is missing some key features I want in the tablet right now as it is a Dev release. Will hopefully go back to Ubuntu Touch in a later release when those features are there.

Which 4.1.2 ROM do you recommend?

Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.

I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.

They are all great, try them all.
As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to make this determination based on their own, individual use.
