Database Info

FYI: Kernel source for 9.4.5.26 is available

ASUS has uploaded the kernel source code at http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#download (but not the firmware image, yet)

Dunno if we have any kernel devs here but I will look into compiling it tomorrow

If you don't know how to mess with a kernel don't touch it. You could ruin your device. Just install roms and don't worry about it. The Rom will include a kernel and flash it for you

Is there anyone who can or is interested in compiling a cifs module?

I am able to build the kernel. However. I can't tell if it is flashing.

Can someone explain me why such a High-End Device like the TF700 with all the latest ****, still runs Linux Kernel 2.6 ?
I was Realy wondering about. My GNex runs 3.0 Kernel since a year and newer Linux Kernels have so much useful and performance optimizing things on it.
Any Infos if the Tablet get a newer Linux Kernel with the JB Update?

ASUS hinted at this yesterday on FB. Their post "When Mr. Jellybean is in the office, it means something good is coming."

I've learned from the TF101 ICS update - be careful what you wish for!!! For those that don't know, my (and others) TF101 has basically become very un-reliable since they introduced ICS.
While I truly *hope* we don't have such issues with the Jelly Bean upgrade, I certainly don't have a lot of confidence in Asus at this point.
I just hope that they don't rush it and test it properly before releasing it and forcing the upgrade on us (which is exactly what they did with the ICS update on the TF101).
I do know that my TF700 has some of the same ICS issues that the TF101 had (OpenGL out of memory errors, for example, which causes your launcher to go "blank")....

Great! Very exciting news to wake up to!
When Firmware actually starts dropping DON'T FORGET TO!!
*Side load your FLASH PLAYER. If you want flash. It will no longer show up in the Playstore any longer
*Revert back whatever modding/altering to system files just in case Rooters. Only if you want your OTAS to actually complete. Or if running a custom rom it wouldn't work anyways as you already know.
*Don't forget to backup your Root with Voodoo Ota Rootkeeper! You will definitely lose root if you don't
Time to obsessively check every 5 minutes for the update!!!

*sighs* I want all my devices to run Jellybean today, here is to hoping it will happen.

As I'd normally recommend rooting myself, I don't think it's necessary in this case. Why not just install .apk with Flash after allowing unknown sources? I believe it should suffice, although I don't know if it's any different with the JB system of permissions.

No need to root to install Flash on Jelly Bean. At least not on the Nexus 7.

I can confirm - my father just bought a Nexus 7 - I emailed the Flash app to him and he was able to install it and it worked without any rooting or anything.
He used Boat Browser (per my recommendation) - not sure about other browsers, but I assume it work with all expect for Chrome, of course...

To everyone who wants flash, the easy way is to place the apk somewhere on Dropbox/Google Drive/Physical medium and install it from there, also since this week Adobe Flash Player is not available in the Play Store. http://www.pcworld.com/article/260901/android_flash_player_rip_how_to_get_it_now_that_its_gone.html

Everyone remember to backup the files created by titanium backup themselves to a removable SD card or your PC.
As for JB, I am not sure we can expect it for the TF700 right away ... the TF300 is so similar to the nexus 7, I'm sure they only slightly modified their nexus 7 kernel.

Is it just me or does anyone else thinks it's wrong that Asus updated their cheap tablet before their flagship?

No, the tf300 probably just happened to be ready first. It would silly to make all of the tf300 wait a few days just because the tf700 wants it first lol

I tried reloading the .30 firmware by putting the zip in root of internal storage. It updated as a downgrade but I was still on job when it was done, so not sure if you can with a locked boot loader.

Just depends on your taste. You might review other upgrade post stories first to be sure. Some are flawless, some not.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

THelook and feel of JB is for the most part similiar to ICS.
Their are some differences you will notice:
Animations: Some new and smooth animations that are nice. Animationa arre a minor thing but add a nice touch.
Project butter: My tablet does seem to run smoother and I have yet to have a wait/close prompt pop up. Of course I may get some, but so far it seem to have improved in that dept.
Google Now & search: This is what I wanted most. I really like the voice search, it really fast with returning answers. I wish I did a few more thens like open apps and tell me my next apointment when asked, bt I'm sure that will come with future updates. Google Now is prety neat and I'm interesting in seeing how it starts to work once I have had it a while and it can develop some patterns and give me info based off what it believes is relavent for me.
This is just an initial impression is I just updated last night and haven't really got much day to day expierance with JB, but so far so good. So far I don't really see the down side. You gain a few things and don't really lose much. Unless you have a particular app that dosen't play well wih JB yet.

Can't wait to get jellybean but I'll wait patiently for it

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash whatever ROM you want from the custom recovery you installed.

You can flash anything, doesn't mean you'll be successful. The current recoveries can't support this due to different boot and kernel mods. The guys are currently trying get a fix for those on OTA JB and all. I would say sit tight and wait for conformation that Twrp or cmw can backup and restore boot from diff firmwares. I tried this and got stuck at Asus logo and couldn't boot into os. But was able to get official JB back up. So now I'm stuck on JB for now.

I've tried CM10.1 and CROMi-X, but went back to CM10.1. CROMi felt a little more laggy, and it didn't seem to work as well with the keyboard dock (minor things like the settings key didn't work, it wouldn't mount a USB drive, etc). I really do NOT being forced into the phone UI, so I'm looking forward to when Paranoid Android is ready for prime time.

CleanRom is fully stock everything works fine due to this fact, either you only tried it during its early stages of 4.2.1 update or used a not so good kernel. As for the lag you did you have the latest twrp installed and updated boot loader. A clean install of cromi-x will never produce lag.
I would suggest Max's kernel always as it has dynamic fsync(disabled when device is on and enabled when device is off) and security features to avoid data corruption. Max's kernel is the most smoothest kernel there is and battery life is amazing!! :good::good:

So another question... In trying to update my bootloader , it still shows the old one in my settings about phone.... Even after is says complete.. How can I be sure it's the correct new one?

There is no best rom/kernel combo, it is really up to you what you will prefer and what not, probably if you ask five different people you may get five different answers. Try many and then decide what suits you better.

Simple question about the different kernals

What's the most reliable and fastest kernel for the tf700t? Not worried about ROM comparability.

I think that's 2 oxymorons in one short sentence!
The most reliable( =stable) kernel is not going to be the fastest - ever!
And not worrying about ROM comparability is just nonsense - you cannot compare kernels separate of the bootloader/rom they are paired with...
That said, as of now, Hund's kernel on Cromi-X provides the best Quadrant scores (for what it's worth)..... whereas I consider _that's v4 to be the most stable (have been running v5 only for 24 hours, but I'm pretty sure it's just as stable)

That makes a lot of sense. You answered my question even though I made no sense. Thank you very much! I have a few more questions if you don't mind answering
The ROM I'm running is cromi-x but even when I was running stock I have been having wake from suspend issues. When I go to press the unlock button it will some times go to the unlock screen than go back to suspend as if it times itself out when not receiving user input (even when I'm giving input), other times it stays in suspend mode and I have to reset the tablet. Is this one of the common latency issues or is this just my device (or a ROM issue)?
If I want to change the kernel, do I need to reinstall the ROM or is there a simpler solution?
Thanks again

You can switch to another kernel without touching the rom (most developers provide a package that can be installed from a custom recovery) but the kernel must be compatible with the rom currently installed, meaning that you can't install a stock based kernel on a Cyanogenmod rom and viceversa.

You can download the "kernel installer by Sbdags" and they are all compatible with his rom. You may want to wipe both caches.. Good luck..

Sorry to be such a pia stickler, but I again don't quite get your question. Did you have the problem of unresposiveness on wake on stock and you still have it on Cromi-X, the other way around or neither?????
Actually, it's not normal for either: stock or CROMi-X, although the tablet tends to be slow on wake if you have Wifi disabled in sleep because it then updates email and whatnot on wake.
My suspicion though is, that you did not do a clean install, meaning doing a Factory Reset in TWRP before flashing Cromi, going from stock to CROMi-X. If I'm right, backup user aps and data in Titanium Backup, do a Factory Reset in TWRP, then restore your apps and data from TIBu.
