Hey folks,
Can you cool kids recommend any lagless JB roms for the Xoom? I've flashed a few but they were unbearably laggy even with OC'ing. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
I am using EOS4 Nightly 203 with ElementalX kernal v08 and it seems pretty good to me. I only OC to 1200.
Hi,
I use CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies. Smooth for the majority of the time, I haven't overclocked.
The reason Google stopped supporting our Xooms at ICS was partly due to its lack of hardware capability so it's never gonna be perfect!

I've been wondering ..
I've got ICS on my transformer and i've got root .. I saw some video of benchmarks for the transformer with HC and then with ICS .. and ICS was getting alot better score (35-40% or some).
I know some people where overclocking with HC and some custom kernels, but i doubt there is yet a custom kernel for the ICS..
But is anyone here that had overclocked Transformer with HC, that can tell me how much diffrence OC'ing made ? 10%? 20%? none at all ?
Also was is stable ?
I would like to go to maybe 1.2ghz.. 1.3ghz even .. But im not sure if it is worth the trouble.
I had my TF overclocked to 1.5ghz 24/7 (using Interactive Governor) on Krakd Rom and it was extremely stable, never rebooted or froze and I can say it made a pretty big difference in speed/responsiveness. I would say around 30% increase IMO.
It varies between tablets though so you may find your tablet is unable to OC at 1.5 ghz and remain stable.
The browser in HC @ 1.5ghz was faster for me than it is now on ICS stock clock (Revolution HD) so I can't wait for an OC kernel to be released for ICS to hopefully get the browser running a bit quicker.

Alost exactly the same for me except i seem to find the browser in ICS only a tiny bit faster and then only on some sites and then only whilst doing the initial render. After that render I find ICS to be much faster, even than OC HC.
I'm sticking with stock unrooted ICS for now and won't be doing anything different until somebody creates an OC kernel for it.
I have tried a couple of AOSP-like ICS ROMs (HyperNonSense, Virtuous Inquisition 4.0) and I am not very happy with the performance. Pressing the back button often causes a small stutter or lag, and browsing (although fast) has lag on occasion or stutters.
It is not that the experience is 'bad', but it is not as fluid and fast as one would expect it to be from a dual-core phone with the kind of specs included within.
To give you a better idea, my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000), running the BlueLighting ROM (ICS 4.0.3) with a 'mild' OC to 1.2 GhZ runs buttery smooth, and beats my Sensation XE (ICS 4.0.3, tested at 1.2 GhZ 'underclock, 1.5 Ghz 'stock' and 1.7 Ghz 'OC') every time and in every situation: Browsing pictures, using stock browser, browsing applications, contacts, pressing the back button etc.
Why does a phone with a single-core CPU, clocked lower, and what seems to be inferior specs outperform a phone that should be doing much better?
I love AOSP experience, and I would ideally avoid any Sense-ROMs (although Sense-lite are ok, I suppose).
Can anyone tell me what their mileage is, with which ICS ROM, and whether you think there is a ROM I should try?
Thanks!
I also had the Virtous Inquisition Rom on my Sensation and i have to say it works very well.
Maybe you have to try another aosp rom like the Cyanogen mod9 from ultimate sensation,it also works very good for me
Thanks I will give it a try and let you know!
Also, can anyone suggest a good ICS kernel? I have had trouble finding a stable kernel. Some can work fine at speeds above 1.6GhZ, but some will not even boot -- perhaps they are not for ICS. I will have to look around. I am surprised there is (no offence!) little variety and option on offer in regards to kernels -- particularly for those interested in the more exotic CPU profiles.
I have also used both Hyper NonSense (1.5 currently, no longer being developed but is stable) and early Virtuous Inquisition releases. For me, both were quite fast - Hyper NonSense more so, but I haven't used a recent release of VI. In both cases, I stuck with the stock kernel distributed with the ROM.
FWIW, Hyper NonSense has also been giving me EXCELLENT battery life. It's a shame to see development stop on it.
Hi all!
I recently purchased the Gtab for a steal of a price ($120) and was looking to upgrade to latest ICS rom by Team DRH.
However, I noticed that the CPU speed is limited to 1200 in the latest release.
I am presently running GTAComb 3.3 @1.4Ghz, and would love to retain that speed when making the transition to ICS.
Is there any way to apply a kernel that can increase the overclock limit in ICS?
Thanks for the responses!
I imagine eventually when DRH incorporates it into their kernel but they'll most likely wait till things get more stable.
Hello,
I have recently got the Xoom and flashed a JB rom as soon as I unboxed it, I have noticed 3D performance is not great on some games. Can anyone suggest a rom with good 3D performance or if it performed better in HC/ICS.
Just get TeamEOS or CM roms and overclock the XOOM. You should get better performance, keep in mind the XOOM is 2 years old now so all the games won't run smoothly.
I have installed a 4.1.2 Rom and it has made a massive difference.
Ok so I am currently running CleanRom 2.7 Oc'd to 1.8 and without Fsync disabled. I also use the dock for battery & email purposes.
With this combo I honesty expected alot more from this tablet. It just seems a bit laggy. With a 1.8ghz Quad core processor & a streamlined OS, this thing should be FLYING! What am I missing? My GS3 on CM10 runs circles around this tablet. I know it has an extra gig of ram, but I wouldn't think there would be such a giant difference.
So, in your experience - what is the fastest most efficient rom with out lag? CM10? Another Cleanrom? Other Rom?
Please give me your opinion & any other suggestions. Thanks

We've been over this a thousand times on these forums.
The TF700 has a resolution of 1920 x 1200
The SGS3 has a resolution of 1280 x 720
More pixels means more lag. Regardless of the rest of the hardware. You want a faster tablet, get a low-resolution one.

If I were you, I'd go to CRomI 3.1 Odex with disabled fsync (seriously: there are no risks 'cause the stock kernel is as stable as a rock).
I too am an SIII user (with 1 gig of RAM) but I really do think the tf700 isn't slow at all.
Maybe you forgot to update your bootloader when going form ICS to JB?
I am getting near 7000 on Quadrant (which is not really a good benchmark app, but it gives an idea of what scores you'll be able to get with the tf700.
I can only compare the original ROM to CleanROM and CROMi haven't tried other ROMs.
No dock here either so I wouldn't have input there.
My experience with the stock ROM was a heartache.
Jelly Bean just didn't come thru as promised far as I could see.
Since going thru the learning process to flash CleanROM\Clemsyns, then continuing on with CROMi there was no looking back.
This I consider a complete solution to my disappointment with the Infinity.
Almost returned the tablet to Amazon so glad I kept it now.
Not sure why some stock tabs run with such lagginess.
Oddly I fiddled with one in a store just 2 days ago and it was very smooth.
My recommendation would be an obvious one.
