[Q] Best gaming & web browsing ROM + kernel - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I've unlocked my TF300T (bootloader 4.2 shipped with stock 10.6.1.8 firmware) and installed CROMi 4.4.1 after factory reset and system+cache+dalvik wipe. But I'm not sure if I've installed the right ROM as my benchmark scores and gaming experience weren't too high.
Here's my system info.
And here goes my question: what is the best gaming and web browsing (now I can't open few websites as I get "website doesn't respond" alert) ROM (and kernel)?
Or is there something I've done wrong so I'm getting scores like this?

to get those score you need to disable fsnyc mate and what browser are you using mate

I'm using stock browser. I don't want to use Chrome because of no fixed PC user agent.
As I've read through the ROM installation process, disabling fsync could result in bricked device, so I suppose it's not so safe thing to use my TF300T with.

i was the same mate but i took the plunge and all is fine here and ive not heard of people break things from it but i suggest dolphin browser mate its the quickest for me, the stock is quick for me but it always say the webits is unresponsive or something like that and there is an app for chrome to keep it set to desktop ill find it if you need it mate

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll probably give it a try, too.

Downgrade to 4.1.1 bootloader, and install CROMI 3.4.6 with disabled fsync & Browser2RAM. I've had installed Unter's kernel, it's the best for me (1,6GHz).
Google Chrome browser of course

+1. Running the same set up and it works great. There are a few Unter kernels. I use the UnterTF300T kernel. It allows for the front facing camera to work. :thumbup:

How can I downgrade without a brick? I mean, what about recovery (which is dependent on the bootloader)?
Google Chrome can't set desktop UA permanently.

For downgrading from JB 4.2 to 4.1, what I've found works well is installing the stock Asus 4.1 ROM via fastboot first, then installing TWRP for 4.1 (since the stock firmware overwrites the custom recovery), and then installing a custom rom afterwards.

Yes, U must normally install officiall Asus 4.1.1 blob file via fastboot. The same as updating via fastboot.

Thank you all for these replies. I've downgraded my TF300T to BL 4.1 and installed CROMi 3.4.6 with Unters kernel. It seems to be okay now.

[Q] New member with TF700T

Hi all Just joinned up and also just got myself a Asus infinity TF700T
So far I have charged it done firmware update and rooted it.
I would like to know what is the best / stable rom out at moment. Also overclocking options.
Thanks
A good stock option is CleanROM 2.3,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919851
however if you're looking for an AOSP rom I'd go with the CM10 Nightlies
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957660
There are overclocking options for both courtesy of Clemsyn's overclocked kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950039
Personally I'm on CM10 and I'm waiting for a modified Clemsyn kernel since I'm also using the Data2SD mod.
Yeh was thinking about CM10. I had CM on my acer a500 and have it on my cellphone and find it nice and easy to use.

EDIT. Just downloaded Root Checker and its now saying this device does not have proper root access. before i did firmware update it was rooted. Superuser is still installed.
aahhhh crap looks like i should have used Root OTA Keeper before updating.

Are you unlocked? You need to unlock, then you could fastboot flash either TWRP or CWM recovery. I like TWRP and I'm on CleanROMv2.3 and Clemsyn's OC kernel v22. Performance is fantastic and everything works. The CM ROMs all have something not working 100% yet, from what I can see, but it's really whatever you're more comfortable with. CleanROM is pre-rooted so all you would have to do is get your custom recovery. Please DO NOT USE Rom Manager to install CWM recovery (I would avoid it altogether). Several experienced users have hard bricked (no coming back) their devices that way.
Yeh got it sorted and not unlocked.
Removed SD card and put just the ICS firmware off asus page on it. Tablet is on and jelly bean running I put SD card in and couple of seconds later a popup comes up to do a update / downgrade. So I run it and restarts and now running ICS again. Seen the firmware update popup so did not click it. Then install Root OTA Keeper then update to JB. Now have rooted JB with superuser and checked with root checker.
As long as you are locked you are already on the best rom available to you.
yeh not to worried about updating to custom ROM. just going to install a launcher and cleaning out some of the stock apps.
What launcher would you recommend?
GO Launcher HD for Pad or GO Launcher EX or other?

I think the best is Go Launcher HD for Pad, other may favorate Nova, Apex etc... and Go Launcer EX is a full blown mature launcher for Phone only. I believe soon Go Launcher HD will have the same features as Go Launcher EX.(this one is the best with thousand of plugin and themes).
i would stay @ stock launcher it s the most reliable one or trebuchet launcher
Hi okantomi
Have gone and done what you posted.

[Q] CleamRom vs Hydro

Hello, can someone comment on their experience (if any) on CleanRom 3.2.1 vs Hydro 5.1? I'm currently on CleanRom 3.2.1 ODEX version and is wondering if I'll be gaining anything if I switch to Hydro (seems like a lot more people like Hydro). What are the key differences and advantages?
Thanks in advance.
Used Cleanrom for 2 months i think, now installed latest Hydro.
Looks and feels pretty much the same. Speed depends more that what kernel are u using, i like Unters TF300 stock (1,6ghz)
And Hydro is cleaner, less useless apps etc (at least for me)
Make full backup and try it yourself
I will try install Hydro 6.0 in next week, becouse now I don't have enough time to do this. I'm currently useing CROMI 3.2.1 Odexed, it sometimes gets buggy. Can I Install Hydro 6.0 over CROMI 3.2 ??? Of course I would wipe system. I hate doing wipe data/ factory reset, but I will have to do this.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA Premium HD app
Running CleanROM 3.2.1 with Unters' kernel, might give Hydro a try if I get bored.
Tablet gets really hot while charging though. I don't want to end up with a melted charger (have heard horror stories)
My tablet has unters kernel the same as you, but my tablet is very Hot when I'm playing games. On stock tablet wasn't so hot. Will I can play in NFS Most Wanted 2 without any lags?

That is the BEST answer anyone can give you. You will never know until you try it I flash a million times before i find a ROM i like. I never stay on it for long either This is why i will NEVER own an apple device
I get 49fps in Epic Citadel (search from play store) with Surdus stock kernel (Installed from CROMI kernel installer)
and 55fps with Unters stock kernel. NFS Most Wanted is no problem :good:
from my experience when you first use hydro you think woah this is fast everything is clean ,works ,responsive, then as you keep updating it becomes slower , some app don't open , battery dies faster
with cleanrom its a more natural feel its just like stock except with some mod changes it really depends if you're into stock with changes or customization,overclock , etc

[Q] which tf700 kernels work for tf300tg

I am using the clemsyn kernel but clem has stopped cooking and guys said I should check out the tf700 forum so I need to know which of those work for a tf300tg or how can I make them work. I've been trying to see if there's info on the threads' description but nothing there. Any help . appreciated
Which rom are you using? If you are using a stock based rom there are 20 kernels available in my kernel installer. 12 TF700 and 8 TF300 variants.
I'm on stock, will give them a try right now. thanks.
I've downloaded your ROM a few days ago so I might as well flash it over, I did a backup a few hours ago so I can always go back if I'm not satisfied. My main problem is a proper TF300TG kernel with GPU OC. Let's see then how it goes.
I just remembered why I'm not running your ROM, my wifi is unresponsive, even though it connects automatically to my router, I can't change any settings or discover/connect to another network. Even did a clean install if I recall correct bu still the same results. Will check your kernel installer after I restore.
I go for Unters TF300T kernel, it clocks the processor depending on which setting you have it on:
power saving 1gz
balanced mode 1.3gz
performance 1.6gz
And also the front facing camera works with this kernal
You can get the kernel in sbdags awesome kernal installer

whatsapp wont install even on stock if you dont download it manually and force install the package.
and if you do so it will work on clean (look for a thread here on XDA for a tablet-friendly version).
btw did you chose the right DPI setting from aroma installer on clean, right? a lot of apps wont work correctly with wrong DPI settings - chose 160DPI.

Yes, I did all that, proper dpi and pushing the apk manually, actually tried a few guides on the matter. Had the same issue on energy rom unless I flashed over from stock, and by doing that I couldn't switch on/off the wifi. It was on but could only connect to previously saved networks. Same issue on cleanrom. Only difference is that a full wipe would make the wifi work on clean but not on energy. Whatsapp is the way I talk to my girl, don't really like viber's gui. And don't have the time to spare on reflashing all the time. Abort-retry-fail was nice when I was single and had all day to myself to choose if I want a night out partying or in flashing every single rom I can think of on whichever device I had at the time lol

Correct. Clemsyn's haven't worked for me, and I do care a lot about 3G that's why I opted for the TG model. The only one that works is Unters...

browser not responding!!

I have 2 TF700's in my family. They both have the problem.
The stock browser and alot of third party browsers keep giving me this error "browser not responding" and then gives me the option to "wait" or "close".
Is this common among the TF700's?
Is there a solution?

I am guessing you are pure stalk? then yes it seems to be a stock Rom problem. You can usually click "wait" and it will come back but not always. The only solution I know is flashing back to ICS and rooting, or unlocking(which voids ASUS warranty), flash a custom recovery, and flash CleanRom. cyanogen, or a different custom rom.

Are you saying that many others with this tablet that are running stock asus software have this problem?
it's hard to believe since this tablet got such rave reviews.
BTW what's the difference between "unlocking" and "rooting"?

Not all people seem to report this problem but I never had success with the stock rom. And yes quite a few others have similar problem but not all. I have heard the newest version of Chrome has fixed lots of lag browsing wise, try it if you have not already. When the tf700 first came out it was the first of its kind, HD screen, Keyboard Dock, Decent sized CPU and GPU. But being so introduced new problems.
Rooting gives you administer privileges and it will make you be able to install browser2ram which increases the speed of your browser tremendously.
Unlocking is unlocking the bootloader, which voids the asus warranty, and allows you to install a custom recovery, which then allows you to install other roms. Custom roms like Cromi and Cyanogen come prerooted. Custom roms fix many issues but also create some new ones.

Your right, Chrome does work better, but Chrome doesn't support plugins like ( ie. flash) which makes some content not work.
I'm guessing rooting on the tablets are different than rooting on the smartphones since you need to install custom recovery in order to root a smartphone.
So what issues do the custom roms bring to the table?; I hope the advantages are worth the trouble.

I kind of liked the stock browser, it was working fine at the beginning, it started happening after a certain update I think.

Rooting does not require unlocking your boot loader. It just requires you to flash stock ice cream sandwich, root, then install ota rootkeeper, once you have that done you can upgrade to the latest android and restore the root. You cannot root Jelly bean directly. You dont need a custom recovery to root ICS, but you cannot root Jelly Bean directly .
Custom roms bring few issues to the table as long as you follow the procedures. You must first use ASUS' unlock tool, then install a recovery via fastboot, and you should be good. However if you consider unlocking I would look through all the posts of people who have messed up their devices so you dont make the same mistake. As long as you have the 10.4.4.25 bootloader and a jellybean compatible recovery you wont have problems. That seems to be the main issue when people brick their tf700's. People installing jelly bean when they do not have compatible recoveries / boot loaders.

The only custom rom WILL NOT give you any trouble but 100% faster and smoother is Clean Rom (ppl called it CROMI) currently at version 3.4.4. This is stock rom with supercharge installed. It will be night and day between stock and CROMI. You would be glad and kick yourself in the bud that you didn't use this rom sooner! and your stock browser once again will be the best browser.

You can't compare phone S3 with Asus tablet. They have different hardward bootloder etc..There is NO ODIN for tf700. In S3 you need to Odin insecure bootloader in order to root and flash custom recovery. There is no loop hole in tf700 while you're on JB (Asus patched), but there is in ICS. So if you just want root, you need to downgrade back to ICS. If you're on JB the only way you can root or flash custom recovery is to unlock your device, this allow you to use fastboot function in JB bootloader to flash custom recovery (TWRP,CWM), then use custom recovery to flash root(SuperSU) or pre-rooted custom rom.

That is a very personal decision. It was worth it to me. Instead of getting annoyed by my TF700 a dozen times a day and enjoying a warranty I may never need, I now have a tablet that runs like a dream!!
And the support the dev and others on the CROMI thread provide puts Asus to shame - easily.
When you use the Asus unlock tool it phones home to Asus servers. From then on they know that your specific tablet is unlocked. Also says so on the boot screen. And no way to reverse it, btw.

Personally I dont know any advantage on ICS over JB as I never put ICS on my tablet. Cromi is the stock asus rom, broken apart, then rebuilt. It contains the same layout and some asus stock apps however since it has different internals and all bloatware is gone is makes most if not all lag disappear. Yes we are disappointed but it is easily solved after you put a different Rom on it. Also the support for Cromi is MUCH better tehn any support ASUS could provide. To be mad at ASUS does no good. The only option if you are that disappointed it to send them back or modify the tablet yourself. Cromi and cyanogen put the stock rom to shame, and both have better support.

PS: and yes to root you must revert back to ICS.

No, you don't need root to downgrade to ICS. You are going from one official Asus firmware release to another. That's perfectly fine.

You can always wait and hope for the JB 4.2 release. The TF300 got it and a lot of owners seem to report much better performance and less lag. Compared to the stock 4.1 of course....
I doubt stock 4.2 is going to be as good as CROMI is already

For me and most of us here, yes unlocking is well worth it.
and NO, you don't need root to flash back to ICS, just download Asus full firmware ICS .30 version, unzip it then copy it to the root of your MICROsdcard and it will flash back to ICS (some cases, you need to rename the file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip then boot into stock recovery in order to work) . Once you're back on ICS, debugfs root tool will help you to achieve root.
Thanks for the education guys.
Can CROMI ( CleanRom) play flash content, though?
What are the other advantages, other than being smooooge?
Is CROMI made specifically for the TF700?

During the installation of Cromi, sbdags put the flashplayer into the setup, so yes flash is supported on Cromi, by default unless you choose not to install it. Cromi is made for other devices but Cromi in the tf700 part of the forums is made specifically for the tf700. The speed is the main advantage, also it is pre rooted, and the support if you have a problem is great.

[NEW JB 4.2.1 ROM] [HAIRYBEAN] -**Unleash The Beast!**

Hi all,
This is another JB 4.2.1 Custom rom that will work for our tf700 code name "Hairy Bean" - **Unleash The Beast!**". Created by developer flumpster, the same dev that helped sdbags with the new updated TWRP2.4.4.0. I have been running this rom for a bout a week and no issue so far. For more details you can find them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
Full credit by Flumpster.
Just a few highlights:
1. The latest Android JB 4.2.1 build.
2. Custom kernel to work with data2sd or without. (selectable during installation)
3. Init.d scripting enabled in kernel ramdisk
4. Work with TF201, TF300 and TF700 (selectable during installation, also for WW or US)
5. Dual Launcher - Stock 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 (Make sure you disabled Animation in settings-> developer options for smoothness).
6. Custom background and a lot of options during installation.
Pretty simple to flash. Here is how to:
1. Flash sdbags "Bootloader and patched TWRP 2.4.4.0 DOWNLOAD" can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223918
2. Use the new updated TWRP to flash Hairybeen 2.11 can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
That's it, enjoy and be graceful that we have another rom to play with.
Oh ..sh...t , I mistaken posted in a wrong section, please move to General Section. Sorry people.
Either way I may try it out. Can it be flashed over the stock TF700 rom that sbdags posted? and can it,if I want to later,be flashed over with the new Cromi when it is released?

Rom: Stock 4.2.1 Rooted.
UPDATE FOR TF700 USERS!!! AND THE 4.2.1 UPDATE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204100
This'll be the first 4.2 for me to try out I guess, It's good to see that 4.2 roms are coming out one after another

yes, just wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash it, very simple.
Edit: Rule of thumb is every time you switch from one custom rom to another you should wipe data (may not need too). However, we can do it this way without data wipe.
1. Take a nandroid backup of your current sdbags stock rom
2. Wipe cache/davlik cache and flash Hairybean rom
To go back without data wipe:
1. Restore sdbags stock rom from nandroid backup.
2. Flash sdbags new 4.2 cromi.
Hi mate,
like you already said this should be posted in the General forum.On the other hand you encourage the cross-flashing (that rom was developed for a different device) wich imho is not good.
If the rom developer thinks that his rom is safe for the TF700T should feel free to open a thread here in the Development forum.

I already spoke to developer and he confirmed it's working for tf700. I won't post here unless I tried it myself first. In the installation, there is an option for tf700.
I've tested this for flumpster. It works on the TF700 fine.
It's based from the TF300 10.6.1.8 source with a few things nicked from the TF700 rom.
It's a similar and good alternative to CROMi-X
:good:

BTW that just installs the TF700 build.prop
I'm new to the 700t, but so far, this has been the best ROM of the 4 that I tried. It runs good and plays nice with D2D. Thanks.

Am I over here also? I must have missed this thread
I never intended to release this onto the tf300 or tf700 as I don't really have the time to give support on the three threads.
I made it compatible tho as some of my beta testers own the devices and wanted to use it on them also.
Let me know how the ROM works for you and if the new 2.2 release is OK.
Getting Boot Loop
I installed per instructions and it is constantly booting to the ASUS flash screen.
I thought this might be the 30-60 minute "letting the rom casche" as mentioned in the instructions - but it has been doing it for over an hour.
Any help or should I just re-flash TWRP and re-flash my previous rom?

Which kernel did you flash when you whent through the set up?
I first tried the recommended kernel but got stuck on the Asus screen boot looping, so I then tried the stock kernel from the kernel selection and that worked just fine.
Unfortunately any stock kernel other than what is installed with ROM causes the screen to go wack and font to shrink

Check/edit the dpi settings (lcd_density) in /system/build.prop.
The issue is that the kernel offered with this ROM includes the 240dpi lock in init.04.rc and the default Asus build.prop is stuck at 160dpi. So once you unlock the kernel (by using one of the ones in cromi-x like that's or mine) you get 160dpi. Do as_that says and edit the DPI setting in the build.prop to fix.
I have spoken with flumpster about this and he will probably update to allow multi DPI settings to the tf700. Also this version is out of date. 2.2 is out now
