Recommended ROM and Kernel?

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

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?

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?

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?

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.

[Q] 4.1 ROMs / Kernels for Xoom

I've tried all the 4.2 ROMs I know of (CM 10.1, EOS 4, ORCA 2). CM won't boot on my Xoom, EOS and ORCA stutter and are just miserable to use.
So I am back to running CM 10.0. I like it but I am not in love with it. I've also tried EOS 3.0. I like the kernel better, but I prefer CM to EOS overall. Are there any other 4.1 based ROMs out there, or are there any other kernels for CM 10 aside from the one which comes with CM? I'd like to run the lagfree or SmartassX (or is it Smartass2) governor.
If anyone has links to other ROMs / Kernels which are 4.1 / CM 10.0 that would be much appreciated.

Maybe try Dreamcwli's My Android, its 4.2 but it is the fastest ROM for me
4.2 also has 2 custom kernels available, Shield kernel and ElementalX. Both are good.
ElementalX has a CM compatible version now. Shield is AOSP only
So you could try all the roms again with the new kernel

Sadly ExperimentalX does not work for me at all. I never get past the boot animation screen. I've tried the regular version on EOS4, and the CM version on CM 10.1. Actually, I can never ever get 10.1 to come up even with stock kernel. I will give My Android 4.2 a try, but with my lack of luck with CM 10.1, ORCA and EOS4 I honestly am not holding out any hope for My Android to work.
I am not sure what the issue is with my XOOM and what 4.2 items are out there right now. My XOOM was one of the very first as I got it when they hit the street, so perhaps there is slightly older / less stable hardware (i.e. cannot support GPU OC) which causes issues with 4.2.

[Q] 4.3 Kernel w/ Data2SD support?

Title kind of says it all, I have heard of folks in a few posts for 4.3 based roms mention just running a kernel with Data2SD built in. Bryce's kernel is the only 4.3 kernel i have found and it does not appear to have data2sd included....
4.3 runs pretty well without it but it would be nice to have.

That's kernel version 6 kind of supports 4.3 and has preinit support built in which means with a small script you can set the mount points for data2sd before android boots.
Pop over to his thread for info.

Thanks for the reply, as far as I know that will not work on 4.3: From that thread:

No this kernel is only for stock based roms, it will not work on CM 10.2 (currently there's no custom kernel for CM10.2).

I used it on CM10.2 as did that. The new version is 4.3 compatible as it says in the changelog. Although he didin't put it in the first post it is near the end of the thread. You also need to inject his modules into CM.
If you pop over to his dual boot thread he shows you how to do this as well

Awesome thanks for posting again! I will give this a try right away! I'd seriously contemplating going down the path of compiling my own....but would rather not

Well I just tried that6 and it booted but phone app crashed dialog prevented using it…..I am running CMB so maybe vanilla cm10.2 would work…....

True Story, I missed the step about the ramdisk for sure! I fail.
Will try again tonight.

Trinity kernel with Nexus 5.

Installed trinity kernel 4.4 on my nexus 5 using stock ROM. Things worked great. Flashed CM 11 and now the 4.4 and 4.4.1 trinity kernels put the phone in a bootloop. Are these kernels not compatible with CM11? Am rooted, running TWRP 2.6.3.4, and am running the CM 11 20131207 nightly. Thanks for any info.

no, most custom kernels arent compatible with cm, unless they are cm based. cm moved away from aosp, and are using qualcomms source. most the custom kernels are aosp based. trinity is aosp based, and not willing to cater to cm. unless cm goes back to aosp, trinity wont support cm.

Thank you very much for your info and I understand totally. Still running trinity on my gnex and nexus 7(2012). Runs awesome on both and I love the trinity features on my gnex. Thanks again for your quick reply and info. Have a good one!

[Q] [p3113]Will OC kernels work with cm11 based roms?

Hello to all.
I upgraded from cm10.1.3 stable today, which I had over clocked. So I would just like to know if anyone knew if over clocking kernels would work with cm11 based Roms. Thank you.
Edit:I got the answer I needed. Resolved

I forgot to mention that I am using Mokee ROM specifically. Not sure if that makes a huge difference but, just in case...

should work
Android-andi has oc kernels in his cm11 and omni thread. Should work considering that mokee's cm based
