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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049322
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?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
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?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
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?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
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.

What exactly does installing a custom kernel do for the phone? I see all this stuff about custom kernels with different ROM's but I've never really looked into it. Is there anyone who could help explain it for me in great detail please.

The kernel is basically the set of instructions that tell the cpu how to use power. Custom kernels allow for changing the governor and I/O scheduler (these are just different settings that dictate how and when the cpu uses power, limits how much the cpu can be used at once, etc.). Custom kernels can also allow you to underclock or overclock your cpu if you want.
In short, custom kernels just allow you to tweak your kernel settings to what you want. It can be helpful for improving battery life or improving performance. Up to you.
With the advice of one very helpful individual i decided to use cromi as my new rom, but in the set up i choose 240 dpi, that was wayy to big, then i went to 213, this still seems bigger and more pixilated on app icons compared to the stock asus rom, does anyone know what the dpi on stock is? Or what dpi looks really good.

Stock TF700 uses 240 dpi.
When did you flash this rom? If you did the bugged Cromi it will mess up.
Tylor
240 dpi indeed is a bit on the large side, but 213 dpi is generally accepted as a nice middle-of-the-road setting -- icons are not too big, but the text remains relatively easily legible (as long as your eyesight is more or less normal, obviously ).
I'd say that something went wrong during either install or configuration, and the new CROMI version (v.3.4.5 at the moment of writing) does have some issues here and there. (I'm going to stick to v3.4.4, methinks, until v4 comes along.)

The latest one's only problem in the Cromi boot logo. If that is not installed then everything is fine. That boot logo is not being very nice but other then that the rom is G2G.

Use either the Stock Kernal V4 that is in there, or the Hundsbuah V2 (seperate download) But the V4 stock kernal seems to run best as I can tell.

FAQs
Q:I know that CM10.1 use the Phone UI by default but it's still possible to switch to the Tabled UI?
No.And don't whine to the developer about it (do it with Google ) this won't change.
Q: I want to go back to a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 rom,do i have to downgrade the bootloader?
No,the 4.2.1 bootloader is backwards compatible but it's not recommended to use a 4.1 bootloader with a 4.2.1 rom.
Q: I can't find the Developer Option anymore,it's gone?
It's not gone,just go in Settings --> About Tablet --> Press 7 times on Build Number...done
Q: I can't find the advanced power options anymore (reboot to recovery,bootloader,etc).
You can enable all those options in Settings --> Developer Option --> Advanced Reboot
Q: I enabled all the options in the Power Menu but i still don't have the Advanced Power Menu ( i.e. Reboot to recovery) when pressing the Power button.
Unlock your screen before pressing the Power button,the advanced Power Menu is always disabled from the Lockscreen.
Q:I would like to use the build-in CM Update feature but i'm not using the CWM recovery,can i use TWRP instead?
Yes,TWRP will work just fine.

I'll start. I know the OP was mentioning changing the I/O scheduler setting from ROW to CFQ. Any reason why that would improve performance?

It seem that Asus did some changes to the CFQ scheduler on the 4.2.1 kernel (don't ask me about tech details) and improved it a bit.But no matter wich scheduler is set by default you are still free to choose the one that suite you best and set it on boot.
Any recommendations on disabling HW overlays, or forcing GPU rendering?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD
Nevermind on the HW overlays. I've been playing with the I/O settings, and Quadrant seems to like ROW more than CFQ for some reason. I'll run it in the meantime.
Coming from a clean install, you can absolutely notice the kernel performance improvements. I'm a happy camper!

I can find the SPYD/3.1 in the list, but can't se the option to enable the data compression proxy. Maybe I have to change the language to English to find it, lol.
Nevertheless the latest nightly is a huge improvement over the previous ones! Good job!
One question though, is it possible to disable fsync in the "stock" CM10.1 kernel? At least for me the disabled fsync on stock ROMs made the tf700 fly.

I'd add to that Data2SD. Both make my TF700 much snappier and benchmarks are consistently improved as well.

You can't disable Fsync with the default CM10.1 kernel,you will need a custom kernel .As for the Data2SD I'm sure that someone will implement it soon and I will update the OP with all the infos and links.

Guys, is the kernel in this ROM the same as in CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.3 Final][Stock - 10.6.1.14.4 - DEODEX]? I have had that ROM on my device since Tuesday and I'm wondering whether I should try this one as well...

I was looking through source today, CFQ didn't seem to change, but there were many changes on the board-cardhu*.c files, including memory locations, etc. This is what is probably allowing CFQ to work more efficiently than in previous iterations of the kernel.
So to install this from CROMI I need to do a full wipe then put this and the correct GAPS then install via TWRP?

You can use twrp or cwm. Yes, you need to wipe, ROM and gapps.

In the thread it mentions the bootloader needs to be:
10.6.1.14.1
is this correct? The current bootloader I have is the latest being 10.6.1.14.4 will I still need to change it?

Warning: This is the Experimental Tweaks (ET) on hund's kernel v3.4.5 for hardcore users and tinkers only and tested on Cromi X v5.4. If you want a stable kernel, you can use Hund's kernel v3.4.5 from his original post below please. PLEASE STOP HERE IF YOU ARE NOT THEM, THANKS.
Hund's kernel is developed by Hundsbuah and you can find more information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143093
I am running this ET for a while and have 6 testers on this ET too. It is very stable and fast in my opinion. Let me know if you are running into any issue or bug, thanks.
Preparation:
1. Backup your whole device in the TWRP and backup all your personal files to your external SD or your computer, just in case.
2. Remove any UV/OV scripts from the init.d folder before installing this tweaks
3. Remove the Fsync script from the init.d folder if any
4. Go to the Asus customized setting and Uncheck the "Enable smart backlight adjuster"
5. Download the correct ET zip for your file system below
Installation:
1. Reboot to your TWRP or custom recovery
2. Install the zip
3. Have fun...
Setting for this ET:
--Power Saving Mode: CPU/GPU: 1.1G/520M, Balance Mode: 1.4G/520M, and Performance Mode: 1.7G/700M
--Interactive Governor and SIO Scheduler
--Westwood TCP Congestion Control
--Fsync off
--CPU temperature throttle at 70 Celsius
--Power Saving Mode is setup for games. You can run most of games in this mode.
--Balance Mode is a daily usages beside gaming.
--Performance Mode is not for games except for daily usages. I am only playing games in this mode during the Winter because it is also my portable heater...:laugh:
I have the f2fs for Data2sd on the data partition that I am running if you need it please let me know so I can upload it for you.
Problems: For some reasons that your device is not booting, you may want to restore your system backup only and you should be up running from your previous setup...
Zip files:
---hund-v3.4.5_ET-v1.13.8_ext4 - For your internal data running ext4 file system.
---hund-v3.4.5_ET-v1.13.8_f2fs - For your internal data running f2fs file system.
Update: v1.13.9 should run roughly about 7 degree Celsius cooler than the v1.13.8 without suffering any performance loss which gives more battery life...
Update 1: If you are running f2fs on the internal /data partition, please install the ET_v1.13.10_f2fs. There is a bug in both ET-v1.13.8_f2fs and ET-v1.13.9_f2fs. It could cause some issues with data corruption.
Update 2: ET_v1.13.12 has very good battery life and very smooth....
Update 3: V2.0 should work properly without any bug and stable. Battery life should be better. For some reasons that your device does not run as smooth and fast as other users. You may want to update to the latest ET "build.prop". Good lucks and have fun.... Jelly Bean is probably end of life and this version may be the last release because I am getting bored with tweaking this device. I hope that I will see you in another Forum and see you all....
Bugs Reported
1. Dualboot is not working reported by Ananasnonym.
2. WLAN may be not working reported by Ananasnonym. Other users reported that it works...
3. A bug in the booting script f2fs zip found by me. Fixed with ET-v1.13.10.
Please report any bug or problem, thanks and enjoy.....

Thanks for a feedback...:good: It is a good start without any issue. You are the second testers using the f2fs on internal data with "discard" mounting option enable.. Some users reported that they have issue with booting when "discard" are enable on Kitkat Rom using f2fs. That is worry me a bit. For performance, it should be at least the same as your previous setup but it is more likely better... I am tweaking on wifi a lot and see improving on a large file download. Please pay attention in that area and report back. I have a mix feedback about wifi improvement from my testers. Some said it is better and some said it is the same. One said it is worst than before, haha. I don't know what is the true result...
About the tf201, I saw hund source code including the tf201 but the kernel is using higher OV for CPU/GPU setting. You may want to adjust the voltages to your needs for the tf201, good luck...:fingers-crossed:
