Hi,
My Infinity is unlocked and rooted and I noticed that CyanogenMod 10 is now stable for Infinity. I Still have the JB version Asus distributed OTA and no customisations. My question is
- How do they actually compare?
- When I look in Google, I still find articles where things on the Asus Infinity do not work, (brightness, camera etc) are they fixed?
- If I install CM10, do I still need to install all Google Apps?
- In general, what makes CyanogenMod 10 much better then the standard JB edition?
Thanks for answering these N00b questions
Cheers

My $.05 is this:
1. When compared side by side, it really is a preference matter. Cyanogenmod rom's have always been about clean, slick and smooth while being as stripped possible.
2. Haven't seen anything about this, but CM's tend to have more issues than with other roms due to the level of customization they run.
3. To my knowledge, you need to download the current gapps.zip and flash in recovery. I was a fan of the inverted version
4. Refer back to #1. I have used both extensively on phones and my tablets and honestly, sometimes I am in the mood for running super lean and stripped down just because it is smoother and faster. However, it comes at a price of having glitches. On the other hand, I get in the mood for a "stock" experience because the experience is different and EVERYTHING works the way it is supposed to; no stupid workarounds.
Again, my $.05. Take it for what it's worth; I figured I'd give you a jump start on this thread since nobody else had replied :good:
You can find a lists of what's working and what's not working for CM10 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957660
Currently, I will stay with ASUS 4.1 because it's official and every works. I am satisfied with the speed so far. No reason to flash other ROM. I will only go for CM unless CM provides newer Android version and ASUS already stops supporting our unit.

This type of question gets asked quite frequently. As far as I am concerned the only answer is flash it yourself and see what works best for you. It takes 15 min to make a nandroid, wipe and flash. The process is completely safe if you follow all of the instructions to the letter, make sure that all of you md5 checksums are correct etc.
I don't say this be be rude but I say it because I disagree with @pogibry. I think CM10 and other AOSP roms are far more stable that the stock rom and it doesn't have the sluggishness for the applications that I use on a regular basis. But this is my personal opinion, and the points pogibry makes are equally as valid. The only way you can decide what works best for you is to try it yourself!
I'm getting my tablet Monday and I really don't want to have to flash different roms just to find one that works best.
I prefer Cyanogen stuff, I'm running the nightlies on my Razr Maxx HD, and would like to continue using it on a tablet. HOWEVER, it seems that Cromi has a more developed ROM. Am I wrong? What do you guys think is the best rom and why?

Wait a few weeks and you may not have to decide! sbdags and _that are continuing to work on ROM2SD for CROMi-X! Run his rom on internal and another rom on your microSD. Already works for CROMi-X, miniCROMi-X, but CM is coming - I can feel it

Cromi-x is highly recommended, but on my tablet it did run well at all. I would recommend going with cyan based rom, I run cyan on all my other android devices and i could not get used to the Asus based roms at all.
Currently running CMB even without data2sd like cromi-x had it way smoother and hasn't crashed yet. Plus has all the cyan features i know and love...

You are the first person to say that so must be something else you did to cause poor performance.

His rom, sbdags, is very fast and smooth. I don't know how are we going to accurately measure the speed of the tf700t. According to most of the testers, all the measurement apps are lied and can not be trusted but fast and smooth are even worst because there are no data or numbers associating with the test data to back up the conclusion. Otherwise, we can test them side by side... It is just my opinion and don't kill me if I am saying something wrong...

I have had the TF700 for just a few weeks, but go back Droid1 days with running custom roms. Current devices is a Gnex running experimental KitKat, and Nexus 7 that is the wives DD running 10.1.
My experience with TF is as follows get device, unlock, try to load custom rom find out USB data port is DOA, return device, get new one, take two days to get unlock app to work (just kept trying) rejoiced due to unlocking, download Cromi latests, flashed with DATA2SD and choosing Hunds kernel. Running it that way for about 10 days, getting frustrated and returning to CM based ROM (I have ran CM on GNEX and previous devices 80-90% of the time).
First off, let me say I may be wrong about my Cromi situation and probably should have held off posting my experiences. In the last 24 hours I have spent a lot more time on these forums and have sdbags 1:1 helping me getting Data2SD up and running on CM based 4.3 rom. I have been reading more of the posts instead of just skimming them loooking for what I need to fix something and move on. I have to say I am impressed at folks here (specifically _that and sdbags), their ingenuity and expertise (not mention willingness to contribute) is impressively and rarely seen these days in my opinion.
To answer your question about speed, yes, Cromi-x was fast, by far the fastest 4.2 rom to date on any device I have ran. I am sure this is due to Data2SD and the many many tweaks that have been made. However I know 4.2 is plagued by no trim, and at least on my Gnex 4.3 based roms are more responsive (less times hung with no response) than 4.2 roms. So first off I have bad taste in my mouth with anything related to 4.2 because of my Gnex experiences (probably wrong way to look at things I know). So going in I was little worried about 4.2 based.
Here is a list of annoyances with the rom being based on Asus and not AOSP:
Pulldown menu (pull up in the table interface) not being Googles menu (why change it)
Softkeyboard layout (trying to get the at symbol), no swiping (IIRC)
No cCLOCK widget (I wish I didn't like that CM thing so much...)
None of those were deal breakers, I had planned on addressing those eventually but the following occured:
First boot, confirmed data2sd was working, ran benchmarks, was impressed how well it ran etc. Installed my apps, all was good with the world love at first boot....
Sat it down on table (was in dock) rebooted, came back up to welcome screen, lock tablet was restore to factory. Perplexed, I reinstalled my apps, and went about my merry way (never re-ran benchmarks or really looked into the files system too much, my bad).
Next few days crashed reboots occurred randomly (maybe due to the Hunds OC kernel, should have tried stock kernel i suppose)
Finally one day a reboot occured and I rebooted back into my original environment I had setup in the first few hours of Cromi, my data from the environment I was in appeared lost. At this point the annoyances listed above (related to Asus, not the Cromi-rom) were too much.
I wiped everthing (even formated SD card), and went to CMB (why I didn't go striaght 10.2 I don't know). I have not had one single reboot/crash since the move, it is pretty peppy and I am getting really good benchmarks for not having data2sd installed, which is odd. If I didn't see how fast cromi was, I wouldn't be looking to get data2sd back as of right now i feel like 4.3 AOSP with data2sd has to be faster than 4.2 ASUS w/ data2sd.
Obviously, after writing the above issues I didn't follow good trouble shooting practices and perhaps made emotional not logical decisions.

Wow, thanks for the good explanation... What I said was just my opinion, I hope that you are not offended..
Also, there is a trim supported on Cromi X but that would depend on the version of the kernel. You can ask _that or sbdags to help you mount it if it is not currently mounting as an option...
Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
Nope no offense taken! As you had a point .

The only time I experience a crashing application is with boat browser. I leave the setting for flash set to always on and flash itself isn't a clean application. That is what causes my tablet to force close the app. I've not experienced the rebooting that I did running pure stock Asus firmware either and it otherwise runs perfect.
Maybe try using one of _that's OC kernals. While not as fast as hunds, they are stable and still offer a greater experience than stock. I haven't found needed to use the 1.8ghz performance mode in his kernals and for my needs the balanced setting at 1.3ghz works fine. The extra boost is there if needed.
Speed doesn't mean you will have the best user experience from the tablet. While hardware specs are meant to be the same for all TF700s, each component is different due to the manufacturing process for each tablet assembled. The CPU/components in your tablet may not play nice with hunds kernal.
a very good one

Hello and greetings from new user of TF700T.
I have been using this ROM for 3 days and I can say while the performance of cromi-x is not poor, it's not great either. Certainly better than CM11 (tried that before switching to cromi-x), but navigating the entire Android OS still feels sluggish. Not to say my TF700T is always slow, but tapping home button for instance, could take me 2-3 seconds before it starts reacting. When I open any apps, the transition animation is also sluggish, which is worse if I navigate apps from recent apps button. Lastly and the worst, Google Now and Google Now Launcher are very unpleasant to use, freezes on the opening and lags almost on the entire time.
I wonder if this kind of experience normal in TF700T considering the tablet is 2 years old? Or there are some tweaks I missed? I am currently running CROMi-X 5.4 Xenogenesis DEODEX.
For whatever the reason is, I'm still thankful for such a great ROM. It's the guys like you who make Android different and beautiful

Actually, it is a part of the Cromi X v5.4. It is working fine with Cromi X ROM only and never test with other ROMs. It is running perfectly fine with all of my testers except one that he had a weird waking up issue....
Hello all,
I'm new here. I just got a 3113 as a gift last week and have spent most of yesterday wading knee deep in ROM info, tutorials, discussions and what not. I am happy with the device, but I have observed that it is considerably laggy and does not respond smoothly. I am not sure whether or not this started as soon as I updated to 4.2.
My question is, is there any custom ROM or tweak that you guys could suggest that would make this tab perform better? It's not painfully slow, but any performance improvement would be great. My current phones are on WP8 and it would be great if I could get the same sort of UI responsiveness out of this 3113. (And no, I am not starting a war between the two OSs. I just honestly want to enjoy this tablet to the fullest).
Your input would be very much appreciated.
Welcome, and congrats with your toy! Enjoy it, it's a nice little tablet!

I can't be 100% sure, but I am pretty certain it's related. On this tablet, stock 4.2.2 is noticeably worse than 4.1.2, and overall is not a good upgrade. If you read around, you'll find people complaining about it, and also about tweaked ROMs based on it, too.

I can't suggest anything out of CM/AOSP/AOKP camp, as I am not very familiar with those ROMs, but two of my personal stock recommendations would be the custom stock powered by NEXT by @ketut.kumajaya and microDelta by @Tsjoklat. MicroDelta also exists in 4.2.2 version, but I still prefer the older one. I know I am going into the forbidden "best ROM" territory, but in my opinion those two are the best stock-based ROMs out there. Oh, and whichever ROM you choose, the NEXT kernel is most highly recommended -- it's the best kernel for this tablet, hands down (again, just my personal opinion)!
Also, PhilZ Advanced Touch CWM (repackaged for P311x and the dual-boot by @ketut.kumajaya) is the ultimate recovery for this device.
As for tweaks (on any ROM), learn about Xposed framework, and explore modules available for it -- you won't be disappointed.
Awesome! This gives me at least a good starting point. One of my problems has been choosing a good first ROM to try.

If you are still looking for ROMs I would like to suggest CM11 KitKat by @CODY86. Very smooth, and it give te option of extended desktop.
Slimbean 2.2 is also real nice.
I think by getting away from the stock ROMs you ditch some of the bloatware.
Rooting and installing custom ROM was easier than the instructions said.
Can anyone just give me a quick summary between these.
Speed, usability, etc...
Thank You...

In short, its KitKat vs JellyBean. Cromi is running on 4.2.1 JB and Crombi is 4.4.3 KK (although I'd wager the next release will be 4.4.4). Cromi is also based off of the ASUS variant of Android, while Crombi off of CyanogenMod's. As far as speed and usability, I'd have to tip my cap to Crombi, although admittedly once Crombi was released, I never turned back (so it's been a while since I ran v5.4). Both function extremely well, especially in comparison to the stock ASUS JB.
As a personal note on this subject, I bought my tf700t about a year ago and was extremely disappointed with the performance out of the box. To call it laggy would be an understatement. It didn't take me long to root, unlock, and flash Cromi and the difference was night and day. I've run just about all the ROMs out there for the tf700t since then, but I keep coming back to Crom(b)i. I'd recommend going to Crombi over Cromi, simply because it's based off the latest android version and updated regularly. If you want more details about either version, give a quick glance at the OP in both, they'll break it down for you.
And if you're inclined, you can run them both using ROM2SD and see the difference for yourself! Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
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.

I never said "better"
"Just as well - maybe even better" is as far as I am willing to go :cyclops:
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:

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]
