[Q] From stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604)

Hi,
I'll be getting my brand new Xoom Wifi (EU) next week. Now that there's an ICS rom with camera and hdmi, I want to upgrade to ICS. I have some experience with rooting/flashing the Hannspree Hannspad but just to be sure. The steps to go from stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604):
- root
- install clockworkmod
- flash zip from sd
Is this correct ?
Thanks

I am about 90% sure that's correct. Not feeling to well right now and its been a while since I flashed from stock. I am sure someone will correct me if necessary.

You can use the guide, below. I recommend that you read the 1st post thoroughly and at least read the last several pages as they may be somewhat relevant to your situation.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !

Don't upgrade to any ics rom if you are planing to test drive or daily use the Xoom. You will not be able to play games that have 3d. Only native apps will work (some). I think its the build and not that its a new OS...but its a nightly so you can't complain. I'm going to relock my Xoom and wait for the official release. There is no real point in using a custom rom if you are at the newest OS and the horse power is great for gaming and working. There are plenty of apps that will give you customization without root. Overclocking is not that notorious but will drain the baterry faster so there is no gain. ICS looks awesome and devs are really genious but I think the rom will not be useful until the official update comes out.

I'm coming from the Hannspree Hannspad and on that tablet I've used all kinds of roms (different Honeycomb flavors). I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. From what I've read in the forums the current build is a fully functional ICS rom. Can someone shed a light on this ?

Games or apps that require 3d doesn't work. Even soul craft that is a ics compatible game. So its not ics ...its the rom. I'm not complaining its a nightly but people saying its a functional build...well it is if you stay with the stock apps and native made apps. But for me its not. List of apps that doesn't work that I use. AutoCAD,Photoshop, gta3 , every gameloft , dead space.... some other apps work but sometimes fc or refuse to open and have to reboot. Some will say its not the rom but devs not upgrading theyr apps for ics but I have seen games working and then not in every ics build. So there's that.

Most of the application works. gameloft's game is not working currently.
I m nw on teameos aosp build29 n i m very satisfy with this rom. It is extremely smooth n fast. camera is working now too.

Actually the nightly builds are quite functional for daily drivers. It depends on what you do with your Xoom. I'm not that much of a gamer, so I don't care much about that. Photoshop Touch works fine, but can't connect with Creative cloud (at least a few builds ago when I tried), most everything else works fine. Not all apps have made the changes needed for compatibility with ICS yet, so not really an Eos ICS Nightly problem.

All went smooth. Running ICS now! Heaven. Thanks a lot!
Edit: should cifs work out of the box? Using cifs manager but cannot mount shares
Edit 2: When upgrading to a new nightly: just wipe cache & flash zip ? (sorry can't post in the correct forum yet).

[Q] what to choose? kitkat rom

Hi
I am new in this forum so bare with me I have had the Asua transtormer infinity tf700t since it came out in 2012. It ia 100% stock with the android 4.2.1 intalled. I dont think i runs as well as it had done running on the earlier android versions. I just got a hold on a Asus nexus 7, also 100% stock on android 4.4.2, whch runs much better. I know that the nexux diveces are running smooth, but i think that a transformer tf700t can run much better then it does now. I am thinking about trying a costum rom wich i think will run much better. But I am not sure if there is a very good rom out there yet. Is there a rom where everything is working fot the tf700t like bluetooth, wifi, sound, camera, mic and alle the other stuff??? It is also very importent for me that the dock is working like it should and the usr of a external sd card in both the tablet itselve and the dock!
The only reson that I consider using another rom is that I dont think it is running as it could. I have tried doing a factory reset mant times...
Is there a good rom outthere yet or should I wait???? Which one should I use if there are a good one?????
PS I am not an advanced user, but I doo know how to use a computer and follow a guide Apparently I am not that good at English eighter...

Cromi-X or Crombi-KK ?

Hello
Both my wife and I have tf300s and after reading some threads here, last night I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP on the both. Thanks to some great tutorials here, took me less then 10 minutes to do both.
From what I am reading, the Crom ROMs are consider the best. We like the ASUS experience, but just want the ROM that will give us the best performance. Should we go with the older Cromi-X or is the new Crombi-KK (KK) ready for prime time? I just don't want to install something on the wife's tab and have it still be buggy.
Thanks for all the help

Personally I love the new CROMBi-KK since it has the KitKat flavor and a CM base. It's not extremely buggy, but there is no doubt that the older one will be less buggy simply because it has been around for longer and has been fixed up more.

[Q] JB vs KK in terms of Smoothness?

When I was running JB on my N8010 I noticed that when I wanted to scroll through the images in an Album using the Gallery app I could scroll through nearly 470 images with just one swipe unlike KK which takes about 3 or 4 swipes to get to the end of the 470 images. So frustrating was this lack of smoothness when scrolling through images or even long documents I've reverted back to JB.
I couldn't understand why JB was so much smoother in terms of scrolling through images in the Gallery app compared to KK. Maybe the experts on these forums could shed some light or is it just a quirk of my particular N8010.
Thanks

At some point upgrades will slow your system. Like upgrading a windows 95 class machine to windows 7.

Thanks. Would it be fair to say then that even though the N8010 will run on KK the N8010 wasn't really designed for KK and consequently runs smoother on either ICS or JB?

No it wouldnt... It is, however, fair to say that the samsung aka TouchWiz overlay installed on top of the KK update is by far ready. If you install KK Aosp (Pure Android) you would see how seemless and fluid KK really is supposed to run. That in turn would make you want to take a flame thrower to the devs at samsung and demand progress.. lol :highfive:

Thank you. I tried this way Here but to no avail as every time I tried to flash the Omni Rom I got a fail. Also for some strange reason TWRP insisted that there were 6 zip files in the folder where I had originally stored the 3 zip files that were required!!
Also the method you suggest above applies to the N8000 not the N8010, does that matter?

I've now loaded the correct version of TWRP but TWRP doesn't see any of the zip files I've placed on the external SD Card!! :crying:
I don't think I'm meant to do this!!
Also does the ROM for the N8000 given in your link above work on the N8010?
Thanks very much again for your help.

I managed to install the OMNI Rom with the latest nightly and am going through it now. I take it that this particular Rom doesn't support the S-Pen?

That's not always true in all cases. What causes your system to slow down is:
1. Installing an OS not optimize for your computer. You can't expect a pc designed for Windows 95 to run Windows 7. In the case of the note 10.1, kitkat has lower system requirements than ice cream sandwich, so in theory it should run fine on the note 10.1.
2. Conflicting files may be slowing down your system. Sometimes upgrading will leave behind unnecessary files that slow down your system. You need a decent amount of space for most operating system to run smoothly.
That being said, I believe touchwiz is at fault here. The interface and apps are very bloated. Samsung tried to put in everything they could think of, but at the cost of efficiency. I have recently switched over to cyanogenmod 11 (kitkat 4.4.4) and I have notice that my note has performed far better then before. Where the tablet used to stutter now is running buttery smooth. The official kitkat build of Samsung compared to the ice cream sandwich build showed very little performance changed when I was using it.

Its not like tableta cant get updated due to lack of resourcea, ita more like deva dont have official versions of the roms. I updated my n8013 to 4.4.4 using omni and was ubersmooth, gnabk rom was also fast and reaponsive but the video streaming lagged like hell

604
Other than the official ROMS like ICS, JB and KK are there any other ROMS for the N8010 out there that also incorporate the functionality of the S-Pen. I use the S-Pen a lot so loosing it would be a serious loss. The only one I've heard of is the Gnabo ROM.
Thanks.

There is no need for rudeness here. You said upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 7 will make your computer slow, but it really depends on your hardware. What you stated is true for most old computers, but it doesn't apply to what the OP of this thread is discussing.

Any high performing roms out there, or should I retire my TF300?

So my TF300 is running slower for each day. Is there any hope left?
Ive tried kat kiss and cyanogenmod different versions.
Most of the time I'm running twitch, or youtube.
I gave up browsing the web, everything is way too sluggish.
So what rom do you recommend for best performance?

I would go back to KatKiss (as it is the best ROM there is for the TF300T right now and possibly the last one of that quality as well) if I were you. You can try an app that let's you make additional Swap space whether it be a file or partition on your external SD card. I did this on my Amazon Fire 7 2015 KFFOWI, and it made a noticeable difference with a 2GB swap file. I will be trying it on the TF300T next.

Im in the same boat. I keep coming back to katkiss because it has the battery dock support. I hate not knowing how much I have left in there. Im itching to try something new and different with better speed, but so far... no luck

To my opinion the best CR is KatKiss - Nougatella by Timduru and I think I'm not alone. This rom will give your device a new life. There is a thread you may read carefully: https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702
Please note, your Tablet must be on the latest Asus stock rom Jelly Bean 4.2. with bootloader unlocked. Custom recovery must be Kang TWRP [email protected] If it is so, please follow the install instruction in post #1 of the mentioned thread carefully step by step.

Yea I second the notion for KatKiss, it is the best one for our device right now and has great support as well. I paired the ROM with some tweaks from L Speed and it is great and very fast compared to how it was previously. Also, @timduru is an awesome dude and really cares about the users and the community so you can't go wrong using a ROM he develops.

@rjmxtech
 @ebonit
Yeah actually I already have Kat kiss nougat by that dude. Version 7.1. I used TWRP 2.8 to install ROM.
I've used loads of different roms before this one. Does it matter what boot loader I am installing rom with?
How can I make sure install is as it should be? Should partitions etc be a specific size?

Just upgraded to TWRP 3.1. Should that be an issue? Should I install ROM one again?

No, TWRP 3.1 shouldn't be an issue!
If you did follow the install instruction in post #1 carefully and did format /Data and then changed file system for Data to F2FS through Kang TWRP, you don't need to run the install process once again.

I had never enabled F2FS before. Now my tablet is working better than ever before. Thanks man!
