I ask this because my xoom is gathering dust in my cupboard and I have no use for it now that I have an HTC One, I am used the the responsiveness and 'fastness' of the phone and that was one of the reasons I stopped using the xoom; the lag
Every rom I used be it EOS or CM10.1 always lagged even when the xoom was overclocked.
If I can find a nice smooth rom I might start using the xoom again :victory: :victory:

EOS4
Interested too. Eos 4 was slow.

I'm willing to downgrade to whatever version of android necessary to regain speed and reliability. What would that be?

I find CM 10.1 to be very stable and smooth for me. Very rarely do I have slowdowns. I also OC'ed the CPU. Try loading Elemental's kernel if you load CM 10.1. It did not work well for me, but those that it does work for say it makes the ROM much better.

From my experience the smoothest is CM10 (Cyanogenmod 4.1.2) : the smoothest and the faster I tried.
I only found 1 problem with this ROM : the default Android webbrowser crashes sometimes.
For now, I don't want any other android release on my Xoom as my priority is smoothness ...
As Kitkat should be even smoother, I hope to see this release on the Xoom, but I don't dream a lot !
Ok, thanks for the help guys. I'll check out CM10

Has anyone compared the performance between these two ROMS? If you have, what kind of performance/interface tweaks are different between the two?

I suggest flashing each and see which one you like. They may run different on your Xoom.
I ran TeamEOS's ICS until yesterday and am now running the CM9 rom. I honestly can't see a difference with regards to performance issues. Will hang on to CM9 for now, but if TeamEOS come up with something spectacular I'm going back to their ICS nightlies. So far the only difference I've noticed is face recognition unlock not working in CM9.
the rogue kernel was slightly faster, but all of the eos features can not be beat right now.
I found both to run with the same smoothness.
I thank all the developers from all the teams for their hard work.
I tried both. Eos has more features, but CM9 is faster.
Quadrant benchmark without overcloking:
Eos: 2303
CM9: 3174
My experience:
TeamEOS nightly is smoother, CM9 (1-15) has CIFS working. (the reason I switched, but will go back to TeamEOS once they got CIFS working).
I'm currently on the Bugless Beast ROM, and it is very stable and pretty much like the name says without bugs, I have yet to have a problem with it.
However I have been thinking of going to MIUI, but I don't know how stable and/or fast it would be compared to my current ROM.
So what is your opinion?
Anyone know?
Almost-stable but..
Too low available memory and low speed makes me use CM9.

MIUI is not as stable as the ics roms. I sometimes get lag such as the MIUI locker. There is still lots of bug. But it is stable enough for daily use.
But the recent update makes the contacts in small photos. So i switch back to codename android rom.
You can give it a try.

Thanks, I guess I'll just say with BB, I like ROMs fast and as stable as possible.
Although, according to the ICS ROM Benchmarks Nexus S List, there are two MIUI ROMs in the top five. Catalyst MIUI, one of my favorite ROMs, is a bit laggy. Perhaps, because it has Force GPU Rendering and Keep Launcher in Memory checked but then again I haven't tried it with those settings unchecked.
I would give it a try. It is really a beautiful ROM (something different).

I also love MIUI due to its interface
MIUI is still in early development, so the MIUI team does not optimize the rom so much.
That's why MIUI has sudden lag and is buggy.

You could try MIUIXperience! It's a great option for MIUI with several tweaks and themes. Awesome ROM with great battery life and performance.

I'm using catalyst and liking it. But does use a little bit to much memory. Heard super charger helps but looks to confusing for me to try it.

I've been using DarthStalker for my S3 for a while now and I'm thinking about switching to a rom that will be updated more frequently. I'm deciding between CarbonRom and LiquidSmooth. Both look sexy as hell and seem to have great features but both seem to be kind of unstable and very hit-and-miss with having everything work (yes, I know that mainly people with problems will post in the tread). I just want to hear other people's experiences with the two roms and if they have a preference in regards to which one they like more.

I am currently running LiquidSmooth v2.5. I have had no issues whatsoever and the battery life with LeanKernel is fantastic. I switched to LS from JellyBeans 15 running Ktoonz kernel. Both ROMs are great, but I think I'll stick with LiquidSmooth. :good:
Liquid is stable. Run away from Carbon.
Carbon is a great rom and has tons of features!! They also have a new nightly build available with Halo.
ehaions starved
I was a die hard Carbon user for a number of releases but the last one or two were just incredibly buggy for me. Went to Liquid and it has all the features I use from Carbon and has been running much better.
AOKP runs great too but it doesn't have hardware key remapping which I find really handy.
I use liquid smooth. I really like carbon but there seems to be problems occasionally and I decided it was better on liquid. Just updated to the v2.5 and seems to be running super smooth and reliable.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Carbon's been my daily driver for a while now. It's so snappy and practically bugless for me. I tried liquidsmooth a few times and it was much more buggy. I guess ymmv...
So I have the US version and I've had it for a while (about a month) and I'm really disappointed with the performance. Scroll lags, the notification shade pulls down smoother on a galaxy player (that has less than 500mb of ram and is single core) and the 3d gaming performance is laggy. Like GTA3 should be able to run on max settings! Just disappointed and expected more.

I played Tactics Ogre on my phone and Dead Trigger with no problems. Plus with most ROMs I don't encounter the same lag you have experience.
Maybe Powersave mode is on...

Sorry, the rest got cut out for some reason. I was asking if anyone else had this problem.
And a new phone is not an option. My family is on forclosure on the house right now so I might just cancel my data plan and use this as like an iPod.

Try flashing Cyanogen Mod from the original android section. General ui is much snappier and it doesn't have game lag like all the 4.1.2 TW ROMs.
Samsung really dropped the ball with the 4.1.2 updates. A phone this powerful should not lag playing temple run.

I get some lag while playing ingress and minecraft. Kinda annoying but it's better than my old phone and I hope my next is better than this one.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Are you running it stock? Phone runs great with custom stock ROMs & Kernals, but everyone has their own opinions. The games i've played ive not have any lag, but i'm running a custom kernal and ROM. That probably has is the difference, but i'm not overclocked.
well there's only two things that are certain in this world.... no tech device is ever perfect and taxes always increase.
If you expect anything different you will always be disappointed.
That being said, I had ANdroid phones since the HTC Eris and they keep improving. S3 is really nice, maybe the best of this generation, but its not perfect.
Lots of people are looking for infinite gaming speed + infinite battery life... well the two don't go together. There are always trade-off. speed vs. power, vs. size, vs. cost.
Oh and by the way, multi-core is mostly a marketing gimmick. The GPU does most of the graphics work and most apps are not multi-threaded, so a fast single core beats a slower multi-core every time. It's cheaper to make a slow multi-core processor than to make a faster single core.
I also noticed lag on the device which i put off was caused by Touch Wiz. I confirmed this when i finally rooted and started trying different ROMs.
The lag is there in all TW ROM's for me; however if you really want to stick with TW, the smoothest running TW ROM I've tried so far is Goodness. That is what i'm currently using. I don't experience lag during gaming or Apps though even with touch wiz... so might be just your phone.
However, if you can do without touchwiz, the AOSP ROMs are like butter and i experience no lag at all. At least the 4.2.2 ROMS. I've tried Liquidsmooth, paranoid android, Pac-man and Chameleon.
Crazy I'm 100 % stock and my phone runs awesome! I don't do much gaming so I can't chime in on that but I don't have lag at all like you describe. Do you have a live wallpaper installed??
Sent from my GeeEssThree
I've tried a lot of the TW based ROM, Synergy, Hyperdrive , others and all the well developed one's run great for me. I don't see any lag. I also tried CM10 and no noticeable difference, I think a lot of the comment are caused by placebo effec, some people just hate OEM stufft. Also people will load up their home screens with 3000 widgets and say wow this phone / rom sucks, LOL m Then they load some new ROM with no widgets yet and go, wow this is really smooth....... until they load 3000 widgets and it sucks again. Hey , there really is a limit to performance on any phone.
Just wondering if anyone is still using their tf300 and how good is it running, because I just bought one and really wanted the keyboard that can attach to the tablet, which only the transformers seem to do that (which I also bought). I was going to get a tf700 but I dont think they should be making a 1080p screen with 1gb of ram and a tegra 3, tegra 4 and 1080p would be a much better match IMO. I'm excited to get my tf300 in the next week or so.

Yes I love mine on CMB 4.4.2, but i also have a 700, and I think your kind of right, and kinda of wrong.. For video and streaming which is a lot of what I do with mine...it blows the 300 out of the water.. There are very few games out there the for it that it cant run at least at 30 FPS....But they are both very good tablet with unlocked bootloader and custom roms... The stock stuff is bloated and overwhelms the hardware after not that much usage...
I think you will be very happy with your purchase... If you every have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line....As always thx lj
Thanks, and I heard that streaming was bad on the tf700, but I guess it differed from person to person and device to device, heck my tegra 2 Acer a500 felt smoother than my nexus 7 tegra 3 that I recently sold, so I hope its good

Not sure, what "the 4.2 setup" means to you, but are you running stock Asus ROM?
Try one of the KitKat ROMs, they are running very smooth!

Yeah the stock ROM isn't that stable or good. Get a custom ROM: CROMi-x or something KitKat flavored.
thanks
Thanks everybody.
By 4.2 I was referring to an in asus stock option.
I'd love as stock Kit Kat as possible. Does stock android support the keyboard battery combo? Anybody have any good links?
The only rooting I've done was my GS3 using motochopper but left everything stock just needed hotspotting. So if there is a rooting boot camp please share.
So my tf300 is coming tomorrow! What are the benefits of the different roms, jb or kitkat?

In short: JB is older, more mature, most bugs ironed out. KK is cutting edge, running noticeably smoother, but you might run into one or another bug.

got mine running cromix (jellybean), sbdags has got this stock based rom running like a dream, lots of tweaks and customization's.
dual booting with xubuntu-13.04 - a little buggy but works pretty good ( i'm pretty noobish with linux anyways ) boots faster than android.
good luck with your tab and remember to read read and reread the dev threads (make sure you know what your doing before making any changes to your tab). also look into nvflash before you do anything.
It finally got here, and has a light scratch on the screen and on the back... Oh well hope it runs good
