traded my galaxy tab 3g/wifi 7inch 16gb + top of $100 for the transformer 16gb wifi only!!! worth it?
flashed revolver and i'm very happy with it. there are 600 over pages to go through.. and i only went through like the first 10 pages so far lol. so would appreciate it if someone could do a summary of the tweaks i can do with revolver. thanks.. i know about the revolver parts so we can skip that..
I'm a new transformer owner too. I rooted and I'm using Prime. I like the tablet but I do find the browsing experience disappointing, my Samsung Galaxy S 2 seems faster/smoother
Well, have either of you overclocked? It does make a huge difference.
Flash any of the kernels from Revolver parts, I suggest Blade 1.2ghz or Prime OC. And then you can use SetCPU or any other method you have read about, such as Daemon OC from the kernel page of Revolver parts.

i kay_kat88!i remember you in the gt-p1000 section when i had that device...good to see you here!
i write you 2 things....
with revolver rom you can tweak and adjust your rom with mods and addons simply downloading from market revolver parts apk.(gnufabio has a donate,free and elite version of this..)
to have it working you must have:
root e cwm
microsd inserted
wifi and not 3g enable....
with this app you can also install kernels,update and very important do ota's when ready.
to overclock your tablet you can simply install a oc\uv kernel likes blade's,clemsyn's or prime's....or download the daemon controller from kernel tab in revolver parts to have the daemon oc (if you don's know what is that,read and look for on google)
on revolver rom you can also have 3g working if you want to use a web stick attacched in dock's usb connector....you must flash 3g revolver plugin from revolver parts and read 3ad here in general or q\a section(kasimodo 3ad says that in a optimal method)
hope this helps a little....
happy new years to you all folks!

I'm pretty pleased with the smoothness in the browser but it may be that the S2 is smoother (although its scrolling behavior is a little different in general), because it is a phone has a far lower resolution, it is running Android 2.3 it has Samsung's superb 1.2GHz Exynos dual core chip (possibly even better then Tegra2) plus Samsung's great hardware acceleration.
But also the Transformer should become a bit smoother with the coming Ice cream sandwich update.

Currently on the flashable .22 3.1. What in your opinion is the best rom for this device.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I just ordered this tab myself and I'm interested in opinions on the ROMs available. Are there many developers at this point?
so far now...
- Galaxy
- Picasso
- Xoom (3.2)
from the virtuous team
with kernel UNITY

the best??? hummm should better try them before.
Ya I couldn't say which one is best either but I do love the functions on Virtuous Galaxy. Personally I'm going to wait a few more months or a year before I play with any ROM's -
Unless of course that Galaxy ROM gets perfected. I'm twitching for it.
I myself tried both Virtuous Galaxy and Virtuous Xoom and I have to say I really like the Xoom one better. It's smoother, and I experienced odd input lag on the Galaxy one. Both are however several notches better than the HC 3.0 by Acer!
just messin...
Just now messing with from mods on my iconia. Do the zoom or galaxy roms support the USB drive?

That's a bummer. Nothing about the Xoom version interests me.
Here's hoping the Galaxy version gets better *crosses fingers*
running stock 3.1
CWM installed and ready to go - but have not flashed any custom roms, as the system running stock 3.1 works great for my purposes. If this changes I will consider going the custom ROM route

No problem with this rom for me. Wireless is working great wireless teather to my droid inc phone and everything else working so far. Just put this rom on today about 6 hours ago.

You say that now, but flashing is addictive. Once you realize what else your device is capable of, you will continue to modify it to fit your needs. My Galaxy Tab is far more than it was when I purchased it. I will continue to use it due to its voice capabilities.

I would say...
I tested every rom on XDA for A500
Xoom : no improvement, actually I felt like a downgrade rather than something else...not because a bad rom but maybe just because not fit to my need.
Galaxy: I love the UI, but.... feel like an overall slugggginess... the widget are maybe too much... I didn't checked the latest latest version so maybe it's improved... (the 5Mpx was not yet fixed...)
Picasso: Dunno... didn't see like a better things
Taboonay: this rom satisfied all my needs but lately maybe because of kernel... felt like some problem happening
ALL those rom have a common point I do not like it's the "automatic" 3G support... well I didn't buy my tablet to get 3G on it from a third part things or modified things... I just tether with my phone and it's really enough.
latelly I restocked my tabletS (both of them) one run the .40 and the other .38 well I am satisfied
maybe later I will return on custom rom
I rooted my tablet, that is at this moment fit my needs.
it all comes to your own personal preferences. I would encourage you to just try out a few and see what you like best. The virtuous team does do a very nice job with their roms though. I'm currently using virtuous zoom 3.2 but I do like the virtuous galaxy too but it needs a little work.
Honeyvillain (Stock Acer improved )
is best for me, more over, richardtrip is my favorite dev. since HTC Desire appeared.
I have a 3.1 that works and has least no. of FCs and odd things, comparing to stock rom by acer
My tab has a problem that it shut itself when in sleep mode , i would say 50% chance.
Tried most of the roms and no rom solve it 100%.
Now, Im with xoom3.2 ,,, so far so good (but just 3 hours ago)
Any idea???? Is it hardware or soft ware problem????
Of the ones I've tried:
Honeyvillan: was the best for me for a while - everything worked and was stable.
Virtuous_galaxy: I like the UI extensions, but external SD card could not be accessed via file manager. Keyboard didn't work, and I believe video camera didn't work well. Also exchange didn't work.
Virtuous Xoom: appears to be the best now. The things that need to work for me are:
cifs
exchange email
sd card access
video camera
gps
All these above things work. I did see one hard crash/reboot so far but seems basically stable. Its also overclockable, which Honeyvillan didn't seem to be.
The basic reason I like the Virtuous Xoom best is because HC 3.2 has pretty much fixed the orientation lag issue, where the UI wouldn't be as responsive if the tab is not in default orientation. I velcro it upside down on the dash in my car (for certain reasons).
The USB keyboard does not work, but I see there are instructions in the forum for getting that going. I actually don't need it very often anymore, thanks to the swiftkey X keyboard.
Ok so I know this is somewhat personal preference but I just got a transformer today and it is now rooted with recovery what is everybody's opinion on the best rom and kernal.
Thanks
It's kernel not kernal. Use revolver 0.2 with clemsyns kernel or the kernel that comes with the rom. Lookout for prime 1.6 when it comes out.

+1 for PRIME! ROM, lots of people use it so if you get problems with it you should get answers relatively quickly.
Revolver looks great but I'm waiting for the next version. Supposedly the volume is unbalanced and.... there was something else that made me decide to wait. They both were minor issues that should be included in the next update.
Also Prime 1.6 will be good.
I get SoD using Prime. Not so much while in standby but when coping from my internal to SD memory, which I do often. It locks up every time. Running his v2 kernel which helps it from getting the SoD over night.

Prime v1.5, I found the most stable. however certain apps (for me atleast) won't show up in the Marketplace. Not sure what the issue is, maybe something in build.props file.
However, using Clemsyn's OC Kernel is a pretty good combo with Prime v1.5.
I didn't have luck with Clemsyn's ROM due to Overclock issues, my Tegra 2 can't run at 1504 mhz. So it would get stuck in an infinite boot loop
But there is another rom I want to test, Revolver which is built off of Clemsyn's ROM so that might be a good one to test.
As for different kernel, the only one I have tried is Clemsyn's.
Clemsyn @ 1.4 very smooth no probs. rom, not sure i just used stock, rooted, inst titanium bkup, removed crap bloatware. all done its very good with high speed, LOOOOOOOOOOOONG battery almost 18hrs (with dock) now with videos ... still going I dont know how other roms are, but im more than happy with this one.
I have rooted every phone I ever had to gain additional features or functionality. But, I have not felt the need to do so on my TF. What functionality are people gaining from rooting and/or running alternative ROMs?
I use the netformer 1.5 kernel with prime 1.5 rom. Super stable for me.
Optional things I did:
I use the thrive boot animation, pcb theme (very sharp looking), and revert back to transformer launcher buttons as I don't like the Xoom ones very much. I also changed the system font to ubuntu. If you search XDA for this stuff you should find it quickly.
Good luck!

Same as you would on any other Android device . It depends on what you use your tablet for I guess. Perhaps there are some 'additional features' you feel the need to use on a phone but not on a tablet?

IMHO - Overclocking kernels help me out particularly when watching videos. Setting governors via apps like Setcpu help a lot with conserving battery life. Prime makes the transformer buttery smooth and eliminates some fluff that can bog down the system - plus some extra goodies like cifs, terminal, and spare parts. Additionally, you are able to create backups and use apps like titanium root.
Don't get me started on the customization portion of why rooting this device is crucial. Too many neat things you can do with a little bit of of research to talk about.
Hope this helped!
Well you know me guys always on the look for fun stuff to do. So I have spotted that the GoDevTeam has just made their supper popular home replacement app available for high resolution devices 7-10.1 sizes. After my installation I quickly found out that it need some major work still. It feels as if they only spent 2 whole seconds on the launcher and slapped tablet support if I were you I would definitely wait until the next release or 4

Ok so tested on flexstiker r8 and thors ics.
Really laggy in honeycomb Rom but works flawless on ics unless I use compatibility mode in hc 3.2.x its has some improvements is it cuz ics has better hw improvements?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
This is what changes I have noticed when going from 3.2.x to 4.0.3 on the TF201, and I will be curious to see what is ROM/Hardware dependent versus the TF101 running 4.0.3+.
ICS is different than HC or GB, trust me once you get used to it, you will not want to go back. The new settings menu takes getting used to and swipping away stuff is AWESOME.
Holy $#@! that's fast! I've always found HC on the OG Transformer to be pretty smooth and more consisently so than Windows machines I've used, same on the TF201 out of the box and I was not impressed with the Tegra 3. Once I updated my Prime to ICS last night, I had to give buttery smooth a new meaning. I don't know how much of this will roll back to the TF101s ROM but it was noticable to me on the TF201 Prime. Assumably it is either changes to hardware acelleration (n.b. Tegra 3 > Tegra 2), or ASUS optimized the holy frakking hell out of it compared to their HC; if they take/have taken the time for our TF101s, it can only be goodness....
Stock browser seems improved enough to deserve revisiting (I didn't test it on the Prime before the ICS update) but doubt it is worth switching back to.
Issues like widgets and such I can't say, because I didn't check before updating my TF201 ICS. Built in apps, I don't know if we will get a back port because I didn't notice any difference pre/post ICS, so I guess it's a good thing someone here did. The Prime's version of the File Manager app, doesn't suck like ours does!
And have I ever mentioned, Tapatalk needs better support for rendering BBCode?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
As far as smoothness on ics. My mytouch 4g, with its single core qualcom, is running alot better on a beta ics build with limited hw acceleration so I can imagine that ics will be a huge dose of smooth on the tf101.
ICS is definitely a huge evolution over HC or GB. I've been enjoying it on my Galaxy Nexus for about a month now. Massive improvements in the feel of the OS (swiping, folders, etc.) and I'm very pleased with the stock browser. The recent programs feature is fantastic. Especially if you do a lot of switching between apps, or in and out of the settings page and you want to resume exactly where you left off. I look forward to comparing the feel of a phone version to that of the tablet version on my TF101, hopefully soon!
Its also buttery smooth on the nexus s with its now feeble single core.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Same as above, a i have the Incredible 2 running a beta version of ICS.
I literally can't go back to CM7 or any sense rom because the speed difference is massive, i feel like i've just downgraded phones if i flash back. So i just keep going without a camera because i can't stand the sluggishness of GB.
So i'm guessing we will see some pretty big speed enhancements, especially after they get kernels going. I can't wait, i'm one of those guys that prefers as much speed as possible i just never need to save much batter.
I guess than once we get ICS next month, we will see how well the Tegra 2 GPU stacks up against old Adreni 200 series lol.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Well it might help with the prime that they uped the clock speed it from like 1.3 to 1.6 ghz
based on my experience in galaxy s with beta ics and not even a leaked official,the ics is just AWESOME.
so fast and smooth and yes,browser works perfectly.
i guess its the time where android reached a mature state.
Re: Ics tf101
Based on what I saw on the beta in the dev forum. I would say things are looking very good. It was noticable snappy from what i sampled. I liked it soo much i would have stayed on it if it wert for the sleep of death issue i was having. It was a fun experiment.
Its very nice for what it is.
It had that same kinda spark as my galaxy nexus on VZW does ....would love to see some p3droid roms for the transformers.

Most likely they will overclock the kernal like thy did on the prime. Hopefully (wish) the stock kernal will come with overclocked ram, GPU, and CPU. And undervolting.
Yea, ICS will run heavy on any Adreno 200. I have an old Droid Incredible running an ICS ROM and it is noticably laggy during screen transitions. I have a friend however that runs an ICS ROM on his DROID X and it runs smooth as butter.
/shrug
what does every think of the departure of the Context Menu button, and the impact it will have on quick access to options?
I saw this on the Galaxy Nexus, i believe it's common to ICS
Honeycomb never really had the Menu button, so it's not a big loss on the tablet front.

Sent from my GSM Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile
From what I've seen ICS is much the same as HC as far as button usage.
It has the same 3 buttons with the context button apearing like the three dots on the galaxy nexus when needed. Also has the bar at the top (dont remember what the official name is) with other context related stuff.
Please tell me if im wrong as I am yet to try an alpha port.

I've been testing Hashcodes CM9 for the Droid 3 and even in it's less than fully functional state, it is so much faster than gingerbread. I can't use it as my primary ROM yet because of the "less than fully functional" bits being so necessary, but it is blazing. hash, please hurry up (tapsvein)
And I'm wondering what the ration actually is, a person that has a 100% working tablet would not create a topic to complain, so we see a lot of complaints and less praise.
I've had the tablet for a few days now, so far I'm happy with it. Of course something could always be better.

As everyone has stated, stock was just ok. I use the browser a lot so at first I was disappointed. I immediately rooted and installed browser to ram, but I was still wanting a little more performance out of it. So when seanz posted Asus-Hydro, I was really excited because I was wanting an optimized, stock-based rom. After a few weeks running it I can safely say I am 100% satisfied with the tablet.

I'm very satisfied with my TF300T. The only things I really don't like aren't related to the tablet at all and may not even really be Android related. There are several apps that I would like to use that are available on iOS that just don't have any decent Android counterparts. I'm not really a fan of iOS overall, however, so I wouldn't ever get an iPad.
The stock ROM on the TF300T had numerous browser issues, but since I've switched to AOKP, I haven't noticed any issues with it.
am very happy , stook room and rooted. best bang for the buck:good:
Also, happy with stock and rooted. I experience some browser-lag, but nothing is this world is perfect. Coming from ICS on the Wetab (x86 Atom tablet, originally with linux) the TF300T is really good.

Edit: changed this morning to the Hydro ICS ROM, which is nice (a bit snappier)
I'm pretty disappointed that the build quality is so bad.. the screen moves, I get bleeding light from the corners. There is so many things that could of been better. It feels like it is about to fall apart. Aside from the hardware, there is like nothing that takes advantage of the Tegra 3. Plus most video players can't even handle the stuff I am watching. Don't comment on videoplayers to try, I have tried them all.
Im fairly satisfied. Rooted and on a stock based ROM. My only complaint is it feels slower than my Xoom and my Xoom only is a dual core... but i havent tried all the ROMS available for this yet... im about to flash CM10 actually.... lol but may try the ASUS-Hydro one mentioned earlier instead.

Extremely satisfied with my TF300T. I have been running the AOKP Jellybean ROM since it's release and it has blown my mind away.
This tablet has been everything I could have desired, plus some. It has easily been one of the best purchases I have ever made.
I was a bit dissapointed for a month even after rooting and running CM9.
the reason was slow browsing, i kept wondering, how the hell can a quadcore browse slower than my dualcore phone
today i found browser2ram, i can now say that i am 100% satisfied
root+CM9+browser2ram equals awesome tablet
