What does prime 1.6 offer over stock 3.1 root?

I haven't flashed to any Tom's yet, but this seems to be the most popular. Why is that? I looked at the change log and I don't understand what I would be gaining I guess.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

same too me, I tried it over 3.1, what I experienced:
- browser little bit slower
- more SOD
- nothing real extra feature

I have to use a custom rom for a couple of reasons:
1) My stock rom is the Chinese verison, which means no google apps or google sync. Without google, it's just not android.
2) I need the Chinese input methods. I would normally switch to the USA stock rom, but it doesn't have Chinese input. Prime does/did, Chinese handwriting input is MIA, but I'll sure it will be taken care of.
I choose to use a custom rom for these reasons:
3) I don't like excess crap on my computer. I can modify a custom rom before I install it, mostly just removing apps that I will never use.
4) Root! I love freedom on my computer. Root lets me do things. All kinds of neat things: block ads, increase speed on sd card, delete/modify system apps and directories, and lots more. Look into it, it is fun.
5) Overclock. Prime doesn't have it, but you can add a kernal that does. I currently don't overclock, but as the Tegra 2 ages, i will overclock it. I'm specifically waiting for a rom with a high GPU overclock. There is one out there that currently does have a minor GPU overclock.
6) Clockwork Recovery. Backup, restore, switch roms, clear cache and more.
Why I choose Prime:
7) Dock battery meter in the taskbar.
8) Reboot/recovery options for power button.
After looking through the current selection of roms available, I choose Prime. But I keep my eye on revolver and Clemsyn.

How do you not? OP clearly states that there are optimizations made to increase load times etc etc.

No, op states "better user experience" which is very vague. Also I'm not having any slow load times, everything is pretty zippy.

Last time I flashed a Tom he punched me in the face...
One reason I haven't seen mentioned would also be themes, but it is still early in the game, there are few options. Custom Roms are generally just optimized better, though the Transformer doesn't have nearly the bloat some Android devices have making them almost essential...
Honestly once you learn, it is such an easy process that flashing different roms/kernels and trying them is the only real way to know what is best for you and your usage.

Then why are you worrying about ROMs? It's obvious you want some of that Baconcomb so just get it already.
Honestly, I don't know why people ever need to "beg" you to try something. If you're happy with what you got already, then be happy.
"If it isn't broken, don't fix it"
If you're curious, then just do it... because all in honesty. One person's opinion is only a opinion. The only way you're going to know if it's worth it is from YOUR personal experience. I can personally say that, PRIME 1.6 and root is good and its worth it.
If you don't want to take my word for it, then don't. I'm not going to beg you to do it.

Wow...
He asked what was the difference between stock and Prime, and you went off in another direction. He wasn't asking to be "begged" into using Prime nor asking for others to convince him into using Prime at all.
Anyways, I know Prime has a few optimizations, but I don't know if it brings any substantial changes. There's a link to download the power/recovery mod, so I suppose it could be applied to any ROM including rooted stock.

One reason I would like to root my tf101 is to be able to use a USB dongle. But I am waiting for 3.2 to come out before since I just got my tf101.
The stock version is pretty good actually. No major complaints so far.

I hav ebeen using Prime for a while but ASUS stock version is definitely quite good. Even more so for lack of garbageware that so plagues the mobile phones...

Yea I guess I'm in the same camp. I haven't seen a compelling reason to move to a different ROM versus rooted stock. There are too many posts that seem to lead users to believe that a different ROM is the same as root. Remember you can root the stock ROM. The OP is asking what user experience enhancements make Prime (or any other ROM) compelling.

If you read changelog second post it will tell you exactly what's new in the ROM. Many changes are only useful for experienced linux users, but many others are useful for everyone. The nice thing about roms is that most of the things and tweaks are already done for you. If you don't need/care about those changes then there is no point for you to reflash.

Which BXX mod did you get ?
I'm curious because I'm thinking of picking up one of these today ( the guy at Orifice Depot tried to get me to buy an Iconia, but that thing doesn't have anywhere near the support the TF is getting...)....?

Manufacturer's (ASUS included) have to be very careful about their ROM releases so they are thoroughly tested and ready to release to the general public. Consequently they are slower to release updates (i.e. NVidia updates, etc.). Custom ROMs generally consolidate the best and latest releases from various manufacturer's into the most cuttest edge versions you can possibly be running. As you'll notice this can also mean more lock-ups and weird issues since you are getting just-available changes. So if you prefer max stability, stick with the manufacturer's updates. For many of us part of the fun of owning an Android tablet is the rapid pace that custom ROMs are put out and the interesting/quirky things they bring us.

I got a B60 TF and a B60 dock from my local OD this past weekend (Denver, CO).

Prime Vs Stock
Reason why I flashed the Prime Rom. With Prime and a netflix patch I'm able to stream netflix movie. Also now Adhoc connections work. I can Wifi tehther my TF101 with my Driod using the adhoc connection. I can now easily reboot into recovery prior to this going into recovery was a bit tricky. This was not possible even with HC 3.2. Also I don't have to worry about losing root becuase of an OTA update.

I am actually a flashaholic when it comes to flashing roms on my phone. But so far, I haven't come across any compelling reasons to flash custom roms on my transformer. The need to flash roms on phones offer benefits that are non existant on a tablet. For instance, one major reason to flash custom roms on phones is to enable free wifi tethering, which obviously does not apply here. Another reason, as stated above is to remove bloatware. The transformer doesn't really have that. And yet another reason is to be able to update to the latest Android version before the official release. Correct me if i'm wrong but when I looked, the 3.2 update came out officially before any transformer custom roms had it. There are a couple more minor customizations options that I'm not seeing yet being offered by the transformer roms. I am fully aware of the speed enhancements and optimizations that custom roms offer, but considering the custom roms for the transformer are still relatively new (no disrespect or discredit to the devs for their hard work), and considering that even still now, the rooting and flashing methods keep getting outdated and changed, it's too early in this ballgame for me to flash.

I've been lurking the forums here now for a month and finally pulled the trigger, my TF get's here monday.
I have yet to see any reason to flash a custom rom or even root at this point. I'll be rooting it just to say it's rooted and just for a couple of root only programs I have. The custom roms don't really bring anything to the table that this tablet doesn't have. it has the newest version of android with all the bells and whistles. I'm not going to be overclocking. I understand netflix is big for some people, but, from what I have read flashing the fix breaks some video playback. I'm ok to wait for the official netflix patch. A 32gb MicroSD and the 16gb on board space is plenty to store movies on for travel etc. I also have a server I run at home that will stream my entire movie,. TV, and music collections directly to me.
Having the best of the best and the most up to date version of android does have it's perks

Slow Development?

Not to be a downer, but the infinity came out for almost a month and a half now. Yet, the development is really really slow. I think its a great tablet and everything but i also want more dev support.
Did anyone hear any news about dev update from other teams?
Thanks,

The closest anyone has gotten is birdman which got AOKP to boot. Currently he is trying to fix BT and GPS before releasing anything. You can follow him at https://twitter.com/_mrbirdman_ for updates.

I was an early adopter of the TF201. It took a while for it to going with nothing but stock roms available for what felt like an eternity. Give it some time and they will start appearing...

i am sure I am going to get flamed for this, but I have to chime in on this one...six weeks is hardly "slow" for development. This is a) an extremely expensive tablet and most devs pay for their own equipment b) there have been lots of issues around unlocking the bootloaders for ASUS tabs, which is a pre-requisite for tablets, c) JB is just now hitting the streets which impacts development and d) most devs are doing this for the love of it, which means they pretty much all have other things that are full-time occupations.
The fact of the matter is that we do have a couple of custom ROMs out there, so there are devs working on it. It just takes time and goodwill, and a more realistic set of expectations.

The cost of the tab is a bit intimidating, and also, the new toy is the Nexus 7, as a Google nexus device, is cheap and fun to play with for the devs, who are having a competition to see who can push it the farthest. Lots of great teams are really hung up on it right now, and not showing a lot of desire to pull themselves in a new direction, it seems.
I would also be sceptical about getting a tf700, and sticking my neck out with so many complaints about its build quality and performance. I think it's an amazing device and I love mine, but someone who just casually checks the new device forums might be a bit put off. I know that I was with the Nexus 7, which also had mucho complaints at first. I got mine and it was great, and a lot of people got good ones and then the development floodgates opened wide. The same may happen here.

Yea I would second the JB just hitting the streets. Why put so much work developing custom ICS roms when JB is just around the corner?

Also not to be a downer, but you can always start your own development endeavor to speed things up and have some fun along the way

If I was going to do any dev for this tablet, I would be waiting for the JB update to come out before I started. I expect we'll see more updates once it's out, but as some have already stated, 6 weeks for a new tablet is hardly slow.

I dont think jellybean has anything to do with it... just not many devs picked up on the device... I would love to see miui on this baby. I was thinking about switching to the note 10.1 just BC development looks like its going to be better for that tab but the screen was a let down.

hopfully...it will make this tab SOOO much better...

Novel idea guys......why not simply do your buildprop tweaks, speed things up a little, and just enjoy the beautiful product that asus has given us, as it is? I love development as much as the next person....but my C7 model Infinity, aside from a little notification menu lag, runs fantastic, stock. I mean.....if you can not enjoy this product even as it is right now, without dicing it up with some currently half-baked efforts. Do you ever really enjoy any of your devices at all, or are you so caught up in the flashing addiction, that you fail to appreciate the truly awesome hardware underneath? I just love owning this little piece of work, walking around with it, being proud that I am an Android owner in a sea of iPad users on campus.
If you must have something custom, then use Zeus. It runs pretty slick as well. I would just stop complaining though everyone, give development time to kick in, and enjoy your product in the time being. I had the Prime, and it took FOREVER for real development to catch on....practically until the day I traded it in for this. LOL

+1 for this response. I have rooted and tweaked my build.prop, and then frozen some of the bloat and am loving the device without having done anything else. Compared to the Prime (I got one of the very early ones and then went through 4 of those) this is SO much better.

Thanks! Yeah, same here. I had an early model Prime, went through no less then thirteen exchanges, the situation barely got better. I traded up on the same money from the Prime, and I have been happy since I had this. It strikes me, as though unlike the Prime, MOST of the flaws, and shortcomings of this device, are thankfully software related, and not hardware. Once applying the proper buildprop tweaks, installing Apex Launcher, and getting my trust application roster settled. I have been happy as a clam. YES, Jellybean, and most definately CM10 will make this device FLY (it almost managed to redeem my Prime even, right before I traded it) and I am as excited, if not more, then the average person, but my Infinity is (thankfully) fully functional, great battery, MOST applications work in some way shape or form, (excepting a few games). I can simply take a look at the Infinity, and tell, by the attention to detail, that this has become asus's baby, and mine as well. I appreciate it, and can wait forever for development to catch on. :laugh:

Worth the upgrade?

I am looking to upgrade from my HP TouchPad running CM10 and am considering buying an Infinity soon as I really like it over the N10 because of the dock. I am however concerned regarding all the lag and I/O comments I read. IMy HP TouchPad running CM10 and primarily it is used when I travel and while watching TV to surf the web and answer emails rather than use my large laptop. I am able to have 8-10 tabs in the stock browser open at a time without really seeing much of an issue. Will this be something I am able to still do with the Infinity or will it cause the browser to constantly crash? I do not play games hardly at all on it and will sometimes watch divx videos while traveling as well. My main worry is about the web browsing experience compared to what I am using now. I hope it will be as good or better so hopefully someone can answer that for me.
Another thing I use a lot is Eye-Fi to transfer all my pictures from my camera to my tablet to look when I am not home. Would transferring large 10MP files to it be an issue? They go pretty fast right now when I transfer them to my Galaxy Nexus.

I can't help you with that Eye-Fi question,
but I can try to answer your upgrade-related question
Anyway, I think that as long as you're experienced in flashing custom roms (in your case, I am sure you are, looking at the Rom you are running ) the I/O issue is no issue at all and most (if not all) lag is gone after installing CleanRom Inheritance.
It really boosts your device, without having to sacrifice battery life!
On top of that, it has also improved video/streaming playback drastically, making this device as top-tier as Asus claimed it is

+1. Also disable animation, makes you think you have the fastest tablet in the world!! super snappy!

I'll agree with the above!
There's quite a following going here.
This is a ROM flashers tablet IMO.
For myself I gave up on the OTA's from the manufacturer and started going the route of custom ROMs.
Been extremely happy with the work done in development.
Hope to see you join on!

Ok good to know. I assume then though I will be disappointed until I flash I custom ROM to it then? Will I most likely get a version that I can unlock it with NVFlash out of the box as long as I don't do the updates and unlock/root/flash it right away?

Also any specific reason for CleanROM over CM?

I would say you may not necessarily be displeased with JellyBean in stock form.
A great number of users are more than happy with this tab in it's pure Android state.

Yes
I will state that you will be able to bring home an ICS 4.03 version with the .26 firmware.
True don't allow OTA updating until you weave thru the NVFlash process.
I wasn't able to do NVFlash because of updating then finding out about it afterward.
Good luck if you decide to leap!

Alright went to Best Buy last night and played with the Infinity for about 30min. It definitely seemed pretty slow compared to my touchpad running CM and it didn't even want to load 3-4 webpages at a time. I did not however get the wait/close pop up at all. The screen was amazing (one major reason for wanting to upgrade, 1024x768 just isn't cutting it anymore) and the keyboard is a lot better to type on than what a lot of people seem to say. It didn't seem overly small to me.

That is great to know I will be able to do the NVFlash though as that is really the only way I would want to root and flash this tablet. I like the fact it can't be bricked doing that.
Is it correct that I have read once I have the blobs from doing NVFlash I can manually upgrade to the most current firmware and NVFlash will still work? If so it seems I will actually finally have made up my mind of what tablet to get.

Yes, I think it's overal nicer and faster with CR.
Not to mention that it has a bit better implementation with the keyboard dock (if you have decided to buy that). You also get amazing support from the developer of CleanRom and the Rom Installer gives you the ability to choose what you want and what tweaks you like. Therefore, it's really nice to use it.
Besides, sometimes it's handy having the 3 'performance' modes and IPS+ toggle in the notification bar. Asus did some things right, so we should give them credit for that

420.00 U.S. for tf700

I am looking into picking up a used tf700 today..

So is CM 10.1 just as amazing as cromi?? I like CM customizing options..

I don't think it's a good price personally wish the forms still allowed selling.I would look around more even on like swappa the official website for selling on XDA.

I am a *huge* CRomI fan, but from what I understood, CM10.1 is getting there. It doesn't have as high benchmarks, but it is still smooth and has also gotten rid of the IO issue.
I'd say try 'em both and choose which one you like best.
I chose for CRomI because CM10.1 wasn't as great when I first had to flash a custom rom, and I was so pleased with the result and the integration with some Asus specific stuff (such as the keyboard dock, the IPS+ toggle, etc) that I chose not to cheat on sdbags' awesome rom
However, I am sure that if I had to make the same decision today, it'd be a lot harder.
Goodluck!

Marshmallow

Hi All,
I just had a very general question. I am wondering since the release of Marshmallow on some other devices, does anyone have any plans on making a release for the TF700?
I am only asking out of curiosity as I am perfectly happy playing around with all the great roms here. Currently using Zombie-pop.
Thank you

I am in no way a developer, but I can say that from my interactions on this site, the answer is probably a no. There are just too many new options out there with better hardware to customize. Although, all it takes is a small group of talented individuals to love this device enough to port or make a new ROM! Which I am sure all current tf700 users would be totally psyched for.

I think the days of chasing the latest and greatest are over for this tablet.
@hardslog has Omni 6.0 booting on this device but he says it's an ugly hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63895936&postcount=3355
Focus for the devs is elsewhere by now which is understandable. I think they tickled the best performance possible out of this hardware quite a while ago..
For people who still love this tablet (and I do) and plan to use until it dies a natural death it is time to settle on your favorite rom, set it up to your liking and maintain it.
For me that is CROMi-X. Yep, not very sexy since the last version is JB, but heck - it works very very well.
I am currently working with @LetMeKnow to incorporate his latest tweaks into CROMi-X 5.4, keep your eyes peeled if you're interested, we'll start a new thread once it is done
I have been running this version for a couple of weeks now and I do not miss Lollipop one bit....

Better than Zombi-Pop? It's pretty buttery. Not perfect, but faster than Crombi-KK. Hmm. I may have to think about flashing it once/if I tire from Zombi-Pop.

Going back I just realized: I really liked the JB Asus UI! And some of the tweaks we lost with KK and LP. Like remapping the power button to forward delete, Keyboard manager which lets you assign different keyboards for landscape, portrait, hardware kb, the choice to go back to the 4.1 UI with the home buttons on the left...
It could be just nostalgia... After all it's that time of the year where you look back and reflect, don't ya? :angel:

Dont belive the nay-sayers...

Hi All,
I just had a very general question. I am wondering since the release of Marshmallow on some other devices, does anyone have any plans on making a release for the TF700?
I am only asking out of curiosity as I am perfectly happy playing around with all the great roms here. Currently using Zombie-pop.
Thank you

Im not sure why some of the above people posted that this tablet has reached its limit. I just downloaded the KatKiss 5.1.1. Not Marshmellow but has built in SPLIT SCREEN! That is the magic for me to use this tablet as a front like productivity device for my job.

As much as I loved the Crombi line and still revere Josh and SDbags for their work, I jumped the shark and switched to this ROM.
I benchmark well on this and my I/O memory hasnt missed a beat...

I thought they were designing newer versions of Android to run on devices with less hardware requirements? To help minimize the "fragmentation" of the os and hopefully bring manufacturers to update the devices faster etc. I'm aware our device is hindered unless Nvidia updates the Tegra3 drivers. Someone will probably find a way to port it over. May not be a top priority of developers but as a hobby, the challenge may be taken up.

Well I guess we have our answer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf700/development/rom-t3282166 [ROM][MM 6.0.1] [ KatKiss - KatshMallow #012]
