Want to find the smoothest rom/kernel combo that will function PROPERLY and without the random reboots, SODs and lockups. On JB Cyan 10's latest stable right now, and for christmas my wife got me a dock so that will come into play as well. Which rom would be recommended for these necessities?
Also, NTFS will need to work properly, as I'll be plugging my usb drives up a good deal for transferring. Some are NTFS some Fat32. Also, I have a HDMI mini to reg HDMI converter I'd like to use to put movies on the big screen at the house. Please keep these in consideration when pushing a rom
Okay, like you, I have Mini HDMI, NTFS and the Dock.
At the moment I am using EOS4 preview 88 with KAT kernel #70, and I must say this combo probably won't be the best for you just yet...
My only experiences are with Stock ROM rooted, EOS3 #81 (both KAT Kernel 69 and RaymanFX's kernels) and EOS4 with KAT (current) so I can't say that much.
If you curious or willing to make the jump for Jelly Bean, I managed to test NTFS support on EOS3/KAT and it's just fine, and dock compatibility is just perfect, haven't tested HDMI yet though. on EOS4 the dock is a bit dodgy...

I agree 100%. The best ROM ever was EOS #81 with KAT kernel 69. The most fast, smooth and stable ROM ever!!!!!
Now I am on EOS 4 build #84 with stock EOS kernel. It is good but it is not yet the best. It will be in the future because Timduru and Rayman are the best devs for our device.

Ok so I'm on eos 81 with kat 69.. One problem I've encountered and I'm not sure if its a problem or i've just gone full retard(tropic thunder reference ) but I only see one battery icon at bottom, with my percentage when connected to my dock whereas previously there were two, one indicating transformer battery percentage and one indicating dock percentage. is this normal? is the percentage listed with both dock and transformer or what?
Thanks

Okay guys, Team EOS4 #88 is out now and is ready for daily use =] I’ve been following their previews since 82 and I think they reach a stable enough point on their 4.2 Jelly Bean ROM as well.
So for those looking for a 4.2 usable rom, EOS4#88 with Kat Kernel 70 and gapps 20121212 is just perfect ;-]

I am glad to here that you use as daily driver. I am using it too. But our friend is asking about something stable. It is too early for 4.2 builds.

You could try Dual Battery Widget
I am also looking for rock solid stability, but it would be nice to have a JB rom. I also use dock, hdmi and NTFS.
I just came from EOS 3 #81 w/ their kernel and went ahead and flashed #88 yesterday and to my surpise this am, discovered that they went ahead and released #89. So right now I'm running EOS 4 #89 with KAT kernel 70, and I gotta say that it's pretty stable aside from the software keyboard workaround. It's way too soon to report any SOD or random reboots though. EOS 3 #81 rebooted about once every 48 hours for me but other than that it was extremely stable.

I double what you say here, I updated to #89 as well. This time with a full system/data/factory reset wipe and everything is as smooth as ever.

I haven’t played around with ICS roms besides the stock one, but to be fair, I don’t see any more solid stability than what eos3 and 4 (specially 4) has to offer. The only thing is, since JB 4.2 stills a bit fresh, some things might not be fully working. But for your case...
From my experience, dock on eos4#89 is fully functional, I use it with spanish_us layout and have NO COMPLAINTS at all at the moment. For hdmi I can’t personally tell, but seem reports of people saying it works so you might to give it a shot. I’m just not fully confident on the NTFS as there seems to be some problems with mounting usb devices or dock SD, but I don’t know the extent of your use, so this might be a big let down for you for now.

I am still running EOS3 #81 with KAT 69, and things are quite stable. Is there an advantage to going with EOS4 #89 (other than just the satisfaction of running latest and greatest?). I am a bit reluctant to disrupt this island of stability, unless, of course, there is a concrete gain to be had

Honestly I would stay on #81 for a bit longer if you have the same stability that I have had. There are a few bugs that still need worked out with the latest EOS 4 build. One is the software keyboard disappears randomly while trying to type, but they do have a workaround in the thread for that. Another one that I have noticed is that after a long sleep, the tablet doesn't recognize the HW keyboard without being redocked. I know petty quirks but the main issue is that it seems slightly sluggish compared to EOS 3 build #81, which they are also aware of. If stability is what you are after I'd wait a few more builds, but if you want to take the plunge than it's definitely ready for daily use.

I double what you said. I'm currently on EOS4 and doing just fine, but I do know of some funny problems around specially regarding NTFS and USB drives. By no means EOS4 is bad, but for those who prior stability over everything else, it is indeed worth waiting maybe a couple more builds or so.

cm10
i am running the last updated "nightly" build of cm10. it works without much of an issue at all. i haven't changed the kernel at all, kept it stock. volume is fine, dock does everything it's supposed to, etc. i WAS getting random reboots when overclocking to the max, but i just went down one level and now it's fine. other than that, not a single issue with it. beautiful, gorgeous rom. quick and responsive enough to even run go launcher on....no device i have ever had hasn't lagged with go launcher installed until this one. even with email, facebook, news reader, clock, to do list, search, music player, and power widgets all running, it's still smooth as butter. i have always loved the look of go launcher and the variety of the gazillions of themes out there for it and whatnot, but have never kept it more than a day because of the lag it creates. now its a problem of the past.
I actualyl just got around to checking out this NTFS/USB drive issue that I read about in the EOS 4 thread but the drive worked perfectly for me. I didn't try writing to it but I copied files from my computer to the drive then copied over to the tablet and it worked fine.
I'm actually really eager to check out the most recent builds of CM 10.1 for our device. It's kinda crazy that it came out so fast since the TF101 is so old. It'll probably be the next one i flash once I get back into the flashing mood.
EDIT: just got introduced to the NTFS bug. I must have used a thumb drive that was formatted with FAT32 earlier.

Thanks for your opinions, Ralkkai and leomeloxp! One question though: What advantages (e.g., extra features) do you get with the EOS4 software, vs. the EOS3 on the TF101?
The main advantage for EOS 4 over EOS 3 is that EOS 4 is built on the latest release of Jelly Bean(4.2). Other than that it doesn't have any random reboot issues or sleep of death issues that 3 had. 4 has the ability to use widgets on the lockscreen. It has the latest software for the camera, with Photosphere which is kinda fun to play with. It does however come with the "Phablet" UI so its got the navbar at the bottom and the status bar at the top and the navbar buttons are in the middle of the screen by default. I'm more fond of the layout in EOS 3 which is almost identical to stock. Other than that they are fairly similar. Some people report EOS 4 running super smooth but I felt that 3 had an overall more complete feel to it.
I will say that the current build of EOS 4 does grow on you the more you use it. Like instead of the buttery smoothness that some people mention when sliding through home screens, this one tends to glide through them. Hard to explain lol
I am planning to give the tf101 to my mother to use it mainly as an e-book reader and some surfing the web, can you please tell me if ICS roms or JB roms have better battery life?
The table twill be used mainly as an ebook reader, some internet, wifi on 24/7 (approximately), sometimes 3g, some picture taking and album browsing and some music.
Thanks

I would recommend ICS if your primary use will be ereader. JB has been a bit heavier on the battery usage for me.
Hi. I haven't got the post count to ask this in the Jellybam thread, so though I'd give my problem a go in here.
Is there a known issue with the Bluetooth in the Jellybam roms? I've tried 3.0.0, 3.1.0 and 3.2.0 and with each one I can pair the phone with my car but the phone book wont load up and it phone keeps disconnecting. Also despite it being set to use the cars audio, it does not.
Previously to this I was using Stickman89's Jellybean JBMIUI rom with no issues.
A full wipe was done when switching from the JBMIUI rom.
Any ideas guys?
Cheers.
Can't help but can confirm the same issue, all day in the car it kept connecting and disconnecting to my Bluetooth car kit.
Have you noticed it keeps going into silent mode? I am sure its related.
Yes I am using jelly am 3.2.0.

Yes I had noticed that, but put it down to the constant connecting/disconnecting of the Bluetooth. I'm hoping a fix can be found as otherwise this is a great rom. If not I'll have to revert back to JBMIUI rom.
Jellybam is not the issue I believe. Android 4.2 changes now android uses Bluetooth and as such has broken a lot of things for people like we now cannot connect Wii remotes via Bluetooth as we'll get an error stating that the apps cannot find the path to it :thumbdown:

Unless I'm missing something Jellybam is 4.1.2. So I'm pretty sure it's not the 4.2 Bluetooth problems I've been reading about.
Update.
I gave up on JellyBam (which is a shame as I liked every other aspect, but not JellyBams fault) and tried a couple of other Jelly Bean roms. Both of which had the same Bluetooth connection issues.
So it would seem the only Jelly Bean rom where the bluetooth works is Stickman89's JBMIUI rom (other JBMIUI roms may work also). Though due to me being bored of the MIUI rom now, I've gone to an ICS rom Elegancia sense 4.1 v3.2.0
I shall keep an eye on Jelly Bean as hopefully this Buetooth issue will be solved and I can go back to JellyBam at a later date.
