[Q] which ROM is closest to google play edition the 300t? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got very limited experience with rooting & roms but I'm finding the lag of the stock Asus transformer 300t to be horrible. so I'd like to know which ROM would be closest to AOSP + GMS with the keyboard add-ons.
I'd also like to change what some of the special keys do.
thanks in advance.

To get close to the Google Play editions, you will need a AOSP based ROM. That includes ROMs like CM, AOKP, OmniROM, SlimKAT, CMB, etc. Pretty much anything that is not CROMi-x, which is based of stock, but optimized to get rid of the lag.

I was wondering which of these was the closest? And if any of them had the keyboard controls for the Transformer.

I'm using the CM M3 snapshot and keyboard is working fine. It is pretty close to AOSP, but I haven't tried all the others.

If you don't know which ROM to choose you can install multirom and have them ALL on your device

Before I flash any custom ROM, will the dock work flawless?

Hi!
I'm already set for flashing a custom ROM, but I can't seem to get any confirmation that the dock will work as expected. Could somebody fill me in here and tell me if the hotkeys, trackpad, SD-card slot, second battery and USB-peripherals works as they do on the stock ROM?
i have used ASUS Hydro ROM, Clean ROM, and now BAKED Blackbean, and my keyboard dock has worked flawlessly with all. I recommend BAKED Blackbean ROM, it seems to be the smoothest, and fastest so far.

Pure AOKP JB ROM?

Where can I find a pure AOKP JB build for the TF700T. I checked the AOKP website. There is no official JB build for the TF700T. I checked the Transformer TF700 Android Development forum. I couldn't find one either.

Wow, you mean there is no AOKP JB build for a flagship device like the TF700T? I'm pretty sure that someone is working on it. The closest I could find is Baked Black Bean( BBB). I will wait for the release of BBB7 and then take a look at it.
I have been looking too. I am a big fan of AOKP, I have it on my Galaxy Nexus. I am running BB6. It runs great. I was thinking of trying to port over the TF101 ROM, but I'm a noon when it comes to that stuff.

Might not even have to "port", now that AOKP is running off their own source. I suppose you could check the CM vendor tree for our device and start from there, I'm sure they're pretty similar.
I've built CM in the past, but I currently lack the hard drive space to do it currently unfortunately.

my galaxy s1 browser smoother than tf300t..why?

My galaxy s1 phandroid stock browser is more smoother than stock jb browser on tf300t.. I understand one is custom ROM and one is Asus ROM...but given hw difference...I just find it to be confusing.
Any idea why may that be?
The transformer line of tablets have slow I/O issues. Browsing on stock ROM is quite bad. It might be worth installing a custom ROM

Your TF300T browser can be faster, but You must install browser2ram. Your TF300T must be rooted.

+1 on browser2ram. It only works with the stock browser, not any aftermarket browsers, including Chrome. This, along with setting my user agent to 'ipad' makes the stock browser much more usable.

General stuttering and lagginess

I just got this tablet and am running Stock 4.1.1 android. I have unlocked and root my device. Although I have noticed that occasionally the tablet stutters or is a little laggy. Coming from my Nexus 4 I do not have no lag or stutter issues.
Is the Nexus 4 really that much faster?
Does the 4.2.1 update fix the lag on the tf300?
Is the stock ROM(4.1.1) just not optimized and would go to a custom ROM fix or help with the lag?
I assumed that the tegra 3 would give similar performance to what I get with my Nexus 4, which is very quick and pretty much never has any stutter or lag issue, but maybe the Nexus 4 is really that much faster. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
I've read that performing a factory reset has fixed this issue for some people. Is there any issues with performing a factory reset on an unlocked rooted tf300t? Would I have to reroot the tablet?

Any suggestions for what ROM to flash? Seems like a lot of people like the CleanROM.

CleanROM is a good choice because it's regularly updated and based off stock Asus firmware. However, when I used to use it in the past there were issues with using custom high-performance kernels cause it broke the ability to use my front camera (not good :thumbdown. So now I'm using CM10.1, on the official nightlies and its the best experience so far.. latest stock 4.2.2 android, full dock support and everything works as intended. Plus, I think there's been a performance kernel for CM10.1 released in the dev section just recently. Take a look!

Front facing camera was fixed a long time ago with kernel modules. Newest version that will be out soon based on 4.2.1 is based from the Asus 10.6.1.8 source for the TF300 so everything will work correctly

Yeah I think I may jump onto CleanROM again, now that I'm using linux I'll need stock based roms.. have an idea for 4.2.1 OTA? And would we need to be on the new bootloader/kernel?
AW: General stuttering and lagginess
I had the same Problem with my TF300T ago, but after a few days of using the lags were gone (Im on official 4.2.1 not rooted). So i would use it for a few more days and see what happens

Most stable AOSP based Rom you've tried so far?

So far I've only tried out TouchWiz based Roms for stability on our Verizon GS3. I've worked up the confidence to now try a AOSP Rom haha. Mainly stayed away because people said there were some data issues and problems with external SD cards with AOSP Roms? But anyways.... So which AOSP based Rom is the most stable that you've tried so far? I'm browsing the AOKP website right now.

AOKP is pretty stable? And is it really that small of a Rom 152MB? I see that on the website like whoa for real!? lol....This is my first time trying an AOSP based Rom on my Verizon S3. Is there anything different I should do if I flash this Rom? Do I need to be on a specific OTA version from Verizon? K3, MB1, MD3, ect?
Very stable. I would install the mb1 aio.zip if you haven't already. Just because the md3 is terrible. AOSP ROMs are much smaller than touchwiz ROMs.

I reverted back to MB1 OTA, Rooted, and now I'm running Jelly Beans 15.. Would I already have the AIO or no? And does AOKP Rom include the Motorola "Rings Widget"?
This thread could get closed down as soliciting for our opinions on the "best" or the most "stable" can lead to arguments. Also we can not guarantee you will have the same positive experience of any ROM that gets mentioned in your thread. With that out the way the most stable one that I have tried was Avatar.
You would already have it, so you should be good. Also, AOKP won't have the moto stuff. There may be a flashable zip for that stuff.

Will it be a problem if I flash AOKP on TWRP 2.4.3.0? I don't like the newest version of TWRP because it doesn't read my back ups on the external SD card.
I had a hard time with twrp when it came to going from AOSP to touchwiz ROMs. It only read the 0 folder from the previous AOSP ROM so I wasn't able to get to anything that I downloaded to the download folder which is the sdcard0/download folder. Also from some reason you might have to wipe cache/dalvik Cache/factory reset a few times to successfully flash some ROMs.
Not sure, I'm on the newest twrp, and haven't had an issue with backups on my external.

I'm already on Jelly Beans by beanstown. Been on that Rom. It's awesome for a TouchWiz based Rom. But you can't customize the lock screen shortcuts on the AOSP lockscreen. And I'd like to add more to get a full circle.
theyre all stable.
youll need to flash the rom, then the newest version of the gapps.
there are small features in each that can make people stay or go from each. also every rom runs different frmo phone to phone. same goes for kernels.
Ive been runnning pacman with halo, pie and expanded desktop and im really liking it.
for a standard use setup though i go to slimbean.
I flashed AOKP today and nothing went wrong! Yes!! haha. It was a nice Rom but not as many mods as I was looking forward to. Not many battery icon choices but not a bad Rom at all.
I always keep liquidsmooth on my sd card when I get the itch but I have tried almost all them.

Does aokp still have issues with the video camera recording volume being lower than touch wiz? I know in aosp they fixed it a little but it's still very low comparatively speaking

I'm coming from a device (htc incredible 2) that didn't have an update to ICS. So, we had great developers to get ICS & JellyBean on our device. Back then I really loved AOSP, but with this phone I don't. I tried cm10.1 and missed a lot of the stock features, mostly the camera. I'll be sticking with modified stock for the time being because everything works and the camera is awesome. I'm sure everyone has there opinions, I'm interested in them for sure.

That bug is still there.
CarbonROM, SlimBean, and another forbidden AOSP ROM that I will not mention because the XDA mods will get all sensitive.

LiquidSmooth and SlimROM are my favorites. AOKP is a little behind the curve still.
