Hello all, noob here! I am newly rooted and wondering what the best ROM/gapps package is for me to try out. Vital. Stats below!
Currently running:
TF700t US
Stock Asus 4.1
Bootloader 10.4.4.25 unlocked
TWRP 2.5
Have ROM Manager and Goo Manager
Have good backup for base recovery if needed.
Already tried Baked and Paranoid, will boot but cannot get gapps afterwards, maybe wrong ver? Just going with whatever Goo pulls up first. Also tried CM 10.1 RC5, get stuck on Cyanogenmod spinning symbol. Oddly, as long as I tap the screen continuously, it will keep spinning, as soon as I stop it freezes and starts boot process over. I would appreciate any tips or advice from you all.

Could be you have the wrong bootloader for CM 10?
I love CROMi-X, check it out. For this one you also have to flash the bootloader first and coming from 4.1 a clean install with total wipe is recommended for CM and CROMi-X.

I agree with the CROMI-X. I haven't tried any other roms but I've been using this one for a month now. It really is a different tablet.

I am using Cromi X V4.6.6. It is running very good so far. To be safe, I would recommend to update to the latest bootloader before flashing Cromi X.

I was under the impression that 10.4.4.25. Was latest loader, is that not the case? Can I install cromi-x 4.6.6 over stock 4.1? Thanks in advance.

. 25 is the latest bootloader for JB 4.1. The latest for CromiX, which is based on JB 4.2, is 10.6.1.14.8.
Coming from a 4.1 you have to flash the 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader first, boot back into your old rom and then you can flash CROMI-X.
Best would be if you flash the bootloader /TWRP package from the OP of the CROMI-X thread.
Going from 4.1 to 4.2 it is recommended that you do a clean install. Wipe everything in TWRP before flashing the new rom and re-install your apps (after backing up everything dear to you, naturally)

Great, thank you! Now, sorry to be a PITA, but from OP in that thread, there are odex mirrors 1,2,3 and 4. Are these all the same? New BL for 4.2, boot into existing ROM, flash one of the odex mirror files, then MAYBE CTM v1.7 and I should be good?

I just took the plunge as well. Still tip toeing around until I sort out what to do when and where. Have TWRP and Ti Backup
I just flashed your ROM 4.6.5 while you were away sipping grappa rather than 4.6.6.
Seems you've tweaked issues what have you and released 4.6.7.
What is the path of least resistance to update ROM and keep it current?
Cheers

4.6.9 is a patch to 4.6.8. You probably noticed how small the file was
You have to flash 4.6.8, then the 4.6.9 patch. No reboot necessary in between.

I just ordered a refurbed tf300t w/ the keyboard dock. I'm looking to root it and install cm pretty quickly. From what i can gather there are some problems with the 4.2 bootloader and cm. Can some one point me in the direction of a guide to unlock the bootloader and which twrp to install. I figure since its refurbed it's probably on 4.2.
everything on the forums i found is for 4.1 or less. also is there a reason this tablet isnt a stable cm10.1 device?

On this tablet don't get in a hurry for anything. When you verify (absolutely) the bootloader version (ICS(4.0), JB(4.1), JB(4.2 10.6.1.8), or JB(4.2 10.6.1.15.3) then you can begin to read and plan.
Here is a link to many things you will need including the two apps for unlocking the bootloader.
While there don't forget to thank philos64. You will use this thread many times while owning this tablet.
Unlocking is simple. Run the proper app for your bootloader version as explained in the above thread. Two apps for the four bootloaders.
Which twrp etc depends on the bootloader in use.
Good Luck!
Go slow, do your homework, and play safe or this tablet will leave you in the dust (there are many, many bricks to prove it).
I don't know about the current cm10 and stability when it went multi user (10.1) I started looking for other roms.
Just my desire not problems with 10.1.
I'm also new to this device and after unlocking just followed this today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42005728&postcount=91
Changed a couple of things, such as TWRP version and flashed CM10.1 instead of the one in the example. All I changed from the guide linked were the files used, based on thoroughly reading other topics first.

I'm partial to CROMi.
I'm afraid rom choice is mostly personal. For my use all versions of CROMi have been solid and you have many options during install to customize as you like.
okay so i just got my tf300t today, I'm on JB 4.1.1. what is the best course of action asfar as stock updates? i dont plan on rooting for a couple days to get used to the stock interface.

My favorite stock rom is 10.4.2.20.
If you intend unlocking and flashing a custom rom you might want to update to the proper bootloader for that rom while you still have stock recovery (not twrp).

Bootloaders have been an issue on this tablet since 4.1 (JB) arrived.
I swap at will between the JB bootloaders using stock recovery - next bootloader up or down.
Yes, be careful! Match bootloader, rom and twrp.
Here are the bootloaders, stock roms, and twrp- now you have to match your custom rom.
4.1 bootloader - 10.4.2.9, 10.4.2.13, 10.4.2.17, 10.4.2.18, 10.4.2.20 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob
4.2 bootloader - 10.6.1.8 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
4.2.1 bootloader - 10.6.1.15.3 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
I'm confused just reading this mess.

I'm in the same position, just got a refurb TF300T. it's currently on JB 4.1.1 stock firmware 10.4.2.20. Is there any reason NOT to allow it to update to the latest firmware?
I haven't unlocked bootloader yet.

hey do you guys have a quadrent score on this cromi rom? im getting about 3600 on the the stock 4.2.1 rom, just wondering if you guys are getting anything better on Cromi? I'm reading up on this pretty good, I'll probably install it some time next week. since this is a refurb i dont want to unlock right away in case of defect.

First I must say I rate roms by how compatible they are and if everything I use works without issues including lag.
The link I provided for CROMi shows a score of 6214 in the first post (op).
I notice there is at least one other CROMi listed which I have not tried. The CROMi by sbdags also provides other kernel options for more speed and other enhancements.
I'm sure someone else will respond with the fastest kernel for this rom as it is very popular.

yeah im noticing a bit of lag on 4.2.1 i dont know if its the rom or hardware, I must say I absoloutly love this tablet. Coming from an og nook color and a kindle fire this is leagues better.
The tablet screen shots on the page are from the tf700, if you look at the build number, so that quadrent score is probably not a good representation of our tablet.
Other than that the stock rom is fine but, I'm always looking for better performance.
For better performance I would reccomend cromi-x it is WAY smoother then stock, but based on stock.

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

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

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

i have 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader and TWRP 2.6.3.0 and rom Cromi-X 5.2.4 with ET + fsync off + data2sd, it goes fluid thanks
The title says it all.
I'm new to this whole rooting and custom rom stuff but i loved the changes a custom rom did to my smartphone and i thought i'd also do it on my Asus Transformer Pad.
I attached 2 screenshots to see all the info of my device, and tell me which roms are compatible and which you recommend.
Every tip is appreciated!

Do you need 3G working after you flash a custom ROM?

Which custom ROM is a matter of personal opinion, Personally I use PAC-ROM 4.4.2 though I have used OmniRom and Cromi-X (not Crombi-KK). What cmendonc means is that there are almost no TF300TG sources out there besides what asus provides. This is one of the trade-offs that you have to make (ie do I want 3G or a better ROM overall?). Most of the ROMs in the Developer section are pretty stable. I would recommend Cromi-x, as you mostly have everything you need and it is super stable. Good luck

No doesn't really matter to me.. what difference does the 3G make after all?

I actually prefer a better rom overall than the 3G capabilities, but the reason i ask for the best rom is not about the appearance or anything like this, its just that i've read a lot of people complaining after flashing some TF300 roms, about losing their Wi-Fi, etc.
And i most certainly need my wifi.
So error-wise ( ) , which is the best rom

I'm running KK CROMi right now and it seems pretty smooth compared to a few other I tried over the past week.
Ok that sounds good
Do you have a TF300tg , or a TF300t? and if you have the TG, what are the complications, if any? if it's just the 3G, i don't really care.
Thanks

Yeah the 3G will most likely be knocked out. I have a tf300t. The rest of the ROM should function normally.

Was wondering if there is any chance to get this ROM ported or converted to the TF700t. A (Lollipop 5.0 ROM)
I loaded it on my TF300t and it is wonderful so early! but, I would like it on my TF700t.
Beautiful ROM he has done a nice job. Hope we can see it here.
Any information on the how to's or if at all possible would be greatly appreciated.

I agree, that would be wonderful. But since timudru has never developed for the 700, I would be very surprised if he would start now....
Katkiss on TF700t
Have heard some have Lollipop running on the TF700t from the TF300t forum.
The problem is getting the right CM11 kernel from kitkat.
Install= Katkiss ROM (5.0) + CM11 kernel + gapps (5.0)= Lollipop
However I can not find the right kernel. "GRIMLOCK and THAT" kernel do no work
Boots to the animation but loops. Without right kernel tablet just goes into vibration frenzy
Any suggestions?

Josh he sent me this in a message.
Yeah that's what I did for the TF201, using grimlock kernel + Katkiss lollipop init scripts & binaries in the kernel ramdisk.
I wouldn't recommend using a full CM11 / KitKat kernel zip.
There are a few things changed in the lollipop ramdisk
best thing would be to use the kernel binary from the KitKat kernel then repack it with lollipop ramdisk.
Not sure what it means but if it helps. He now has Lollipop running on I believe 3 ASUS machines. tf101 and TF201 and tf300.
I saw it running beautiful on the TF300.
Hope all goes well.

@_that, @hardslog isn't possible for you to build a version of your kernel with the lollipop ramdisk to try if the katkiss rom could work on a TF700T?

It might work but there other things at play. The TF201 is pretty much the same as the TF300t whereas the TF700 has some subtle differences. Using this method might get it to boot but it could have other issues at play.

There is more to it than that, as the TF700 version of the Grimlock kernel is designed to work with TF700 roms. The kernels themselves (zImage) are the same for the devices but the ROMS are different. The best experience would to be to use TF700 device trees and them compile them with Katkiss to create an LP version of it. That isn't as simple as flipping a switch.
My TF700 is booting Lollipop now

I have TF300t and TF700t also . I love Katkiss Lollipop on my TF300t so I put it on my TF700t to see if it would work. Same thing happened to me. TF700 would not fully boot and on reboot would just buzz. So I wiped, re-flashed KatKiss-5.0_TF300T_014b ROM and then flashed the TF201_CompatibilityPack_LP-5.0_003 (found on the same Katkiss link below). Yeah! it boots. Seems every thing is working (docking, both batteries, camera w/ LED flash and video recording, bluetooth recognized my speakers, adaptive brightness, max CPU 1800 MHz, hdmi) EXCEPT the wifi won't turn on. It just sits at "Turning Wi-Fi on..." Yes I had working on wifi prior.
Those downloads can be found here KatKiss ROM Lollipop 5.0.1_r1 Asus TF300T
I really want this to work. Any info of what can be done or if anybody wants to pick this up.... please? :fingers-crossed:

I flashed a rom for tf300 with a compatibility pack for tf201 (as instructed for tf201 for the tf300 rom) on my tf700 because I figured what the hell and the specs are similar to the tf201. But my what the hell moment got a booting lollipop... just no wifi.

I just flashed the kitkass tf201 rom with your kernel and it does boot. The resolution does seem a little off though, but only with the stock launcher. I downloaded apex and it seems to help. But it does boot with working wifi!
