46 views and no one knows anything about this or has anything to say about it?

Need root
I would try it out only if i had my root, I'm not into unlocking my device. (I don't have any back up of any sort)

46 views and no reply? Maybe no one has tried it. Why don't you try it first and let us know if it boot loops your infinity?
Personally why would you need this? Install cleanrom ule and you'll have a very quick pimped rom.

You don't have to install it to have an opinion on it. Stop and think for a second. So you would just install Cleanrom and just leave it at that? The point is this gives you the option to pick and choose what you want to add to the rom and not be at the mercy of a rom creator. I'll say I've been doing this a long time now and I've learned that most roms are just eat up with bugs and more problems than its worth. I mostly prefer a stock rom with just a few performance tweaks here and there as opposed to one that's going to FC or reboot spontaneously. However if no one has anything intelligent to contribute then by all means moderator, lock this topic.

Aww, play nice people.
I just installed it and am checking it out with the stock Jelly Bean. I admit, I was overwhelmed by options but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully I didn't select anything detrimental. Everything seems okay, and I like the option to reboot faster!

I have tried with xbean on a captivate , semaphore kernel , works like a champ , cleans up all the untidy bits , fast and smooth

Looks very interesting.
I'd be willing to try if it's as easy as the vid makes it look.
Pretty smart of devs to warn to backup first.
I would forget that as usual...

Well I just flashed this on unofficial cm10. I selected a bunch of tweaks, many of which I have no idea what they are. The rom booted fine and so far no fc's. So far I am not noticing a huge difference anywhere but to be fair I haven't used it much.

I have been using "Pimp My Rom" consistently on my Marvelc (Htc Wildfire S CDMA) running Blackbean-6-V2 from Icu64 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099218 (I put Dext+ in the init.d folder before flashing the rom. Then I flash CM10 Kernel 2.1v by eoghant27, Alquez, Modpunk and OliverG96 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010083. Finally, I flash Oliver's light based Gaps after first boot. Anyway, all the tweaks I have used from "Pimp My Rom" work awesome and have not given me any problems at all. I just about used everything on there except vm sizes. Hope that info helped out. Yeah you right!

[Q] which tf700 kernels work for tf300tg

I am using the clemsyn kernel but clem has stopped cooking and guys said I should check out the tf700 forum so I need to know which of those work for a tf300tg or how can I make them work. I've been trying to see if there's info on the threads' description but nothing there. Any help . appreciated

Which rom are you using? If you are using a stock based rom there are 20 kernels available in my kernel installer. 12 TF700 and 8 TF300 variants.

I'm on stock, will give them a try right now. thanks.
I've downloaded your ROM a few days ago so I might as well flash it over, I did a backup a few hours ago so I can always go back if I'm not satisfied. My main problem is a proper TF300TG kernel with GPU OC. Let's see then how it goes.
I just remembered why I'm not running your ROM, my wifi is unresponsive, even though it connects automatically to my router, I can't change any settings or discover/connect to another network. Even did a clean install if I recall correct bu still the same results. Will check your kernel installer after I restore.

I go for Unters TF300T kernel, it clocks the processor depending on which setting you have it on:
power saving 1gz
balanced mode 1.3gz
performance 1.6gz
And also the front facing camera works with this kernal
You can get the kernel in sbdags awesome kernal installer

don't really care for 3g, oc yes I went for the unters one anyway since it was the only one saying tf300t(g) in the end, thanks guys, is the unters kernel thread in the tf700 forum? will look for it myself as well but i cant find anything in ours.

hope there's gonna be a proper ROM like cleanrom for the 3g model,

whatsapp wont install even on stock if you dont download it manually and force install the package.
and if you do so it will work on clean (look for a thread here on XDA for a tablet-friendly version).
btw did you chose the right DPI setting from aroma installer on clean, right? a lot of apps wont work correctly with wrong DPI settings - chose 160DPI.

Yes, I did all that, proper dpi and pushing the apk manually, actually tried a few guides on the matter. Had the same issue on energy rom unless I flashed over from stock, and by doing that I couldn't switch on/off the wifi. It was on but could only connect to previously saved networks. Same issue on cleanrom. Only difference is that a full wipe would make the wifi work on clean but not on energy. Whatsapp is the way I talk to my girl, don't really like viber's gui. And don't have the time to spare on reflashing all the time. Abort-retry-fail was nice when I was single and had all day to myself to choose if I want a night out partying or in flashing every single rom I can think of on whichever device I had at the time lol

Correct. Clemsyn's haven't worked for me, and I do care a lot about 3G that's why I opted for the TG model. The only one that works is Unters...

[Q] Rom advise please

Hi Guys,
I have just brought a TF700, and I have set up 3 user profiles, but it is very unstable even after i have disabled all of the unused apps.
From what I have been reading it would appear my best option is to put a custom rom on it.
Now i have achieved this kind of thing in the past as I put Android on a HTC HD2 many moons ago.
I currently have a HTC One and i love the OS on that which is 4.3, so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a 4.3 Rom that is fairly close to what i have on the HTC One for my TF700.
Thanks in advance

You didn't say which rom you put on your HTC
CM 10.2 emulates JB 4.3, I believe Paranoid and OMNI ROM also have 4.3 versions, but most of the devs seem to have moved on to KitKat (CM11), but it still seems to be somewhat buggy and slow at this point.
You find the threads in the development section

Thanks for coming back.
I haven't changed anything on my HTC One at moment because I am more than happy with how it is performing.
I will take a look, but once again thanks.

I have been looking at various threads, but I am still a bit undecided on which way to go.
Anyone else that has wanted to update to 4.3 have any tips or advise for me?
I wouldnt mind eventually going down the 4.4 route, but as I have only just got the tablet - I would firstly like to flash it to something more stable than it currently is.
Many Thanks

What really could help to speed up your TF700t is a factory restart.
For me it was really helping a lot .... even if i am right now "only" on rooted stock FW.
Try this as well.

I have only just brought it, and it was back to factory default, but I did it agin before puting all my apps that I wanted on.
And it was very slow and unstable then, but I then disabled all of the preinstalled apps that I didnt want to use, and it is better, but because I have heard that 4.3 does use less memory I still think it would be worth a try.

I am not sure why you think 4.3 is so much better than 4.2.1. AFAIK that was not a major update or improvement....
If you are looking for a fast and totally stable rom for this tablet, go for CROMi-X! It's based on the Asus firmware 4.2.1 for this tablet, so everything is optimized for THIS device. CM roms are generic. They run a on a multitude of devices - that's why you have more bugs and conflicts

Not that I'm aware of. It was a pretty minor upgrade. Kit Kat 4.4 offers far more interesting features.
Plenty of google results out there:

Thats fair enough.
I have to admit I like the look of the 4.3 more, but decided to upgrade to the CROMi-X one, and then wait for the 4.4 - which I did last night and I am very impressed - it is loads smoother.
So Thanks for your advise.

Nahhh - only tried it as ROM2SD. And it's still sleeping on some of my sd cards.
I was not impressed. CM didn't add anything but eye candy (I didn't care for) and I think by now CROMi-X in conjunction with Xposed modules (if you care for those and the performance hit they come with) gives you way more options to customize this tablet than CM.... not even mentioning your tweaks!

CROMi-X is just the nickname for CROMi-Xenogenesis (who wants to write that all the time???). CROMi 3.5 would be just a minor step up from what yo got now...
Latest and greatest version of CROMi-X is 5.2.4. But you are on an outdated bootloader and no doubt an old recovery.
So head over to the CROMi-X thread, grab the bootloader/TWRP package sbdags provided in the OP and download the rom (dl both to your microSD)
Boot into TWRP and do a Factory Wipe - that will wipe your apps, but not your data (but you got everything backed up anyway, right????)
Flash the bootloader/TWRP package and reboot
Boot back into TWRP and flash the ROM

Lollipop...is it possible to put lollipop on a TF300T?

Are there any working Lollipop ROMs out there that work well on an ASUS TF300T?
I have a rooted TF300T with a Jellybean CROMi-Xenogenesis 5.4 ROM on it and I very much would like to upgrade to Lollipop, provided that it works well with all the features on the TF300T.
Is such a ROM available?

May I ask if you use KatKiss personally on a TF300T and if it works with all the tablet's kit?
Thank you

I use it on my ASUS TF300TG (3G not working ) otherwise it works very well for me. Smoothest and fastest ROM I ever had on this tab.
Any specific stuff you have in mind so I can check?
I did try it quickly with the dock and it seems to work well - I don't use it much so I cannot say if all buttons and functions work.

Agreed. The KatKiss ROM is worth checking out.

I'm having a problem and would greatly appreciate some help or advice on flashing any ROM because I've hit a brick wall.
My TF300T is rooted and unlocked following a tutorial followed a year ago.
At the moment I have Teamwin TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I can only flash one ROM, or at least only one ROM has successfully worked and that is CROMi-X_DEODEX_5.4_Signed.zip
No matter what ROM I download and place onto either my device or Micro SD card all flashing results in a fail.
Any Idea why only the CROMi-X ROM works and nothing else does?
I very much would like to use another ROM as the operating system does not turn the WiFi off when the tablet is closed, causing the battery to fully discharge within 48 hours.
I know that I am going wrong somewhere but I don't have a clue what I am doing wrong.
I can at least confirm that I can flash at least one ROM.
Cheers

ROM decision

Hey everybody!
I found myself with some spare time and would like to flash my D6633 a custom Rom for LB, however there are quite some to choose from.
I am not searching for “the best“, but rather your opinion
What are you using as daily driver and why? What is the most handy feature about the ROM?
Thanks for all suggestions!

I would suggest CyanogenMod since it's been around for a longer time and things always work as they should. I have been using CM12.1 for my Z3 as a daily driver and it's definitely a better experience compared to stock rom.

If i'm going to be honest, Stock will always be the best, Although Android Marshmallow concept was extremely promising when i had it installed, And if i'm honest i really hope Sony keeps that stock look with those small hints of Sony features, that would be my ideal ROM,
Try the Marshmallow Concept, But let me tell you you will always find yourself coming back to Stock Rom.
