Favorite Android version for your Transformer - Eee Pad Transformer General

Obviously ICS has a few issues *cough* which will hopefully be fixed by an OTA any day.
Remembering that previous versions were hardly perfect which is your favorite version for your Transformer.

Custom 4.0 roms. EOS is close to rock solid for me. Theres no way I can go back to hc after getting used to ics

after test 10 ics for me sure no mather what rom. Kernel is the most important thing.

defo i.c.s.......still in its infancy and look at the range of roms.
it can only get better and better

Easily Megatron CM9 with Test kernel. The Kernel makes everything smooth as hell (And keeps issues to a minimum), while the ROM adds the dock support I want, with the latest android version to boot!

Looking for a stable ROM

Currently my Fascinate is on the default samsung 2.3.5 rom. I'd be plenty happy with it as im rooted and i have a MIUI launcher added, it's not as fast at actually running MIUI but i get great battery life and all the sensors work.... but then again i havent taken the plunge yet and installed any new roms yet. THe default rom has absolutely poor gps performance, and i know it can be improved as the vibrant i had before this phone had weaker reception yet with the proper driver was able to work great(samsungs default rom also was a big stinker on the vibrant).
that is why I'm here.
Im looking for the most bug free rom i can find, one that has working GPS.. i dont care if it is gingerbread or ICS, actually if drivers and stability are an issue, then i would guess that gingerbread will be more stable as it had official support... on the vibrant the lack of offical support made it very difficult to get stable roms. sensor drivers had to be hacked and made from scratch so things like the compass never seemed to work.
Please post your recomendations below, and where i can download... If your idea of a stable rom is one that has bad battery life, no compass, hacked buggy sensors ect... move on...
AOKP with Glitch kernel. The only thing that is not working properly is text message delivery reports. Everything else is great including all sensors (with latest fixes in glitch). Probably you will also need script for datadata partition moving (if you have lot of apps installed).
you'll get better battery life on superclean 2 gb as opposed to ICS AOKP/Glitch, not sure how GPS is on SC 2 though
I just put AOKP build 29 on my phone. super awsome man. I liked that the best out of all the roms i tried. looks great and way better than any other UI.
The SuperClean GB Rom +KGB Kernel is the most stable and fully working in my opinion. The CM9's are very good but still a little buggy.

IMO no more buggy than any GB ROM. Unless you are a mez it show user. I'm still working on some little bugs there.

Exactly...eh03/ei20 roms have just as many minor bugs as anything ICS. I use my i500 daily and I need it to work. AOKP 29 bigmem w/ glitch is the setup I roll with. The random reboots, poor memory management, plus ****ty Touch Wiz is enough to keep me away from anything TW GB.
If I were still on a GB ROM I was very happy with TSM Resurrection 2.2 with KGB voodoo kernal. Im on a glitched AOKP b29 right now and I like it I ran into a few bugs but nothing big and its to be expected. What I like about the gummy ROM was the audio for me at least was sooooo much better but AOKP was much snappier and had smoother transitions IMO.

[REQUEST] Light-weight ICS Rom

I see all these ROMs in the subsection for them and I can't find a single one that's actually decent. Since CM9 development has ceased and Pershoot isn't releasing any JB roms (since the 16th) there's really no decent, stable, lightweight ICS option that I can find for our tablets.
Requests:
Lightweight
3.0+ Kernel
ICS
P4/P7500 support
Am I missing a specific build? I've tried like 4 or 5 of them and they always turn out to be slow and unresponsive or they don't support the P4/P7500 so I can't get 3G connectivity. The 3.0+ kernel works amazingly well with Chrome and has a lot of enhancements for Android in general.

CM9/CM10

well, I am not sure what's your are looking or asking, but I can tell that I am on AOSP JB Alpha, and quite happy with performance, its smoothness, only thing so far front camera does not works, but it is matter of time developer get fix that. CM10 is identical to AOSP JB Alpha. In fact, why they call Alpha no idea, in my opinion it should be called beta. In my experience, I got OTA update from Samsung for ICS 4 (USA stock firmware I am referring), I said finally Samsung!, but after several days playing with it, I realized it is becoming slow and laggy, so i backed up everything and gave a try to MapleSyrup's [ROM][JB][AOSP][ALPHA] Android 4.1.1 - Jelly Bean - [GT-P7510][SCH-I905].

ICS or JB for Tab 7510?

I have been a very satisfied user of Task's GB and now ICS Roms. It seems, however that enhancements to his recent ICS release have stalled. There is some question if any further enhancements will be forthcoming. This is not a terrible thing because the Task "Beginning" ICS release is very stable. On the other hand, I wonder if there is anything out there right now that might improve the way my Tab performs.
With that in mind, I am curious if any of the JB Roms currently in development offer an improved user experience when compared to what I am using now. From what I can tell from reading other threads in this forum, most of the Jellybean releases for the GT7510 still have a few problems, (camera, WIFI, etc.). Is there anything out there that approaches the stability of Task ICS while offering some significant performance enhancements?
I am hopeful that someone with some experience using JB on the GT7510 can offer an opinion.
Thanks in advance.
P7510 owner here so I'll chime in.
For now the benefits of the JB builds don't out weigh the disadvantages associated with the bugs in them. My everyday driver is still the odexed stock rooted ICS. I have Nandroids of CM9 and CM10 builds to putz around with when a new build is built by someone.
Pershoot is going to start concentrating on CM10 though so there should be consistent JB builds soon enough. I would do as I am. Stay on ICS as your daily driver and just keep an eye out on the development scene.
I have been using Maple's AOSP JB rom, and aside from video capture and front facing camera issues, everything is so much better than honeycomb. The only glitches I have encountered besides these are minor screen flicker during boot animation (not during use) and extreme lag when using panorama mode (takes about a minute to process). Since I don't use my camera, this ROM is perfect. Battery life is much better (than honeycomb, at least). Don't have much experience with ICS. Much smoother, and Google now is great. Overall, unless you're a camera heavy user, and the tab has an awful camera, or like Web chats, really no cons.
I'm using this for 2 days now ,0 issues,both cameras work,

Depends on your usage.
If you re a Skyper.... Jb roms doesn't fit you. Go for jelly bean ics v6.
Incase you don't use the tab's camera as most of us, and more of a media user, jb is yours. I use my tab for movies during travel time and for books. Jb rom plays even 720p mkv files smoothly. I've never got that performance anywhere.
Incase of stock ics go with a custom kernel with built in tweaks.

I am one of those that immediately flashed JB AOSP by Maple as soon as it was available, but over the last few months I have grown increasingly dissatisfied with the rom. It's not that the rom is bad, but with the camera still not working and the occasionally bug/glitch that completely locks up my tab when I need it most, I decided a few days ago to go back to one of the ICS roms.
I first went back to Task 650's ics rom which I thought was great, but it seems that development has slowed considerably on that rom, and I could not live with the constant SOD's when charging (for some reason I could not find the "keep awake when charging" setting in the developer options that most other roms have.
So I flashed Ganborous CM9 based rom and I am loving it. Along with the rom, I flashed the Google Now for ICS package, and I also flashed a custom boot animation and now I think this rom is perfect. I haven't had a SOD (it has the developer option to keep awake), and I haven't had my tab lock-up or crash on me.
Once some more development on JB roms occurs (like Pershoots upcoming CM10 or even an update from Maple when/if he gets his Tab fixed) I may go back, but for now I atleast have a rock solid ICS rom with Google Now working.

I'm AOKP ICS and my tab runs great, no camera's but it's a tablet and I don't use it for the camera. I think mine is milestone 4 and CPU set at 1000 Max 912 Min, I think its 912.

I could love with the Job rooms if the rear camera didn't work because I don't take pictures with my tab, but not having a front came means that I can't use my tab to video chat or Skype.

I was a task 14 rom user myself then I made the big jump to aokp milestone 6. Hooked since. My sgs4g is on aokp as well with working camera, love what team kang are doing.

So... Is there a single completely usable ROM out there?

I've flashed almost 10 different ROMS now ever since the Asus ICS update and I'm still getting issues with SOD, RR, rapid battery drain, and/or wifi crashing after deep sleep. I just want my TF101 back. I don't care about Google Now... I just want a usable tablet!!!
You are flashing roms to rid yerself of an issue caused by a kernel?......If the rom You flash doesnt have a custom kernel you won't be solving any kernel issues....
In Short, flash a different kernel.....
Stock has been great for the 3 transformers in our family..
Go back to GB and spend a week on it and see if it does the same.. If so. Then you really have problems

Pretty happy with Team EOS JB with stock kernel :good:
Tried Megatron and Revolver, reboot and SOD. Now i use ARHD with Harmony ICS at 1.6ghz speed. Stop searching cause it work:good:

those trouble had been solve with a lot thread in this box...
SOD and RR only got in HC when update to ICS its been solve, no more.
Rapid battery gain when you turn on wifi and watch video with high bright
wifi crash will be off after deep sleep only got in some ROM not alot, and they had been solve them. If you used any rom u must follow other posts.
I didnt got any issue like that becos i update kernel usually and I follow someone instruction.
recently I used EnergyROM and its make me happiest so maybe no more change ROM... I used 20 or over and I did got those issues like u when i keep update ROM and Kernal...
PS used ES Task Manager when u done any work and click on its widget to clear memory its make RR rate lower
To me cm9 works best... I wanna upgrade to jb but all have problems... cm9 is close to jb.. since some jb features are ported to ics...

Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 is the most stable rom for me. Don't know if you can still get such an old version, though.
I have tried EOS and 3 variations of CM10 (Raymans unofficial stable, Paranoid, LiquidSmooth). I like them all but EOS + KAT 47B gives me no issues to complain about (right now on 79 anyway). The others - last time I tried them - seem to have poorer wifi reception (and I don't mean just a matter of "bars"), occasionally lose wifi after re-awakening, and sketchy-to-non-existent GPS.
Truthfully, the EOS build works well enough for me that I could really care less if ASUS does an official JB upgrade at this point. Smooth, as robust as stock ICS when I left, stock browser working fantastic. I am on build 79 right now, probably upgrade to newer version if/when 4.2 features added.
I was set on getting myself a new tablet for Christmas, but after flashing EOS JB I have no more desire to upgrade to a newer tablet. It does everything I want it to, significantly better than when I bought it.

Great, I'll check out Team EOS' rom and cross my fingers!
holy ****, that did it! EOS and KAT are rock solid!
there are many roms with cool features and stuff but in terms of stability i find stock asus rom the most stable.
If you want the tablet to just work, stick with stock based ICS ROM. That means.... the Energy ROM, ARHD or Revolver.
on your advice

Is there anything else that could be the problem other than kernel/rom (i have tried TeamEOS and KAT and CM10 with latest kat kernel with lidfix).
Thanks be to anyone that helps.

[Q] most reliable and fastest ics rom for tf101

I'm a bit late to the custom rom game for my tf101 but so far, it seems that after trying cm10, my data and apps are much happier with ICS than JB...which is fine with me since stock .27 has been very, very good to me...stable, reliable and good battery life. The problem is that it's very slow.
I'm currently using ENERGY ICS, but it, like most ICS roms, are going the way of the dodo...it's all about the jelly bean.
The ENERGY rom is working just fine for me so far and No Frills is letting me overclock.
Is anybody still working on ICS?
In my opinion the only super reliable ROMs would be the stock, OEM ROMs such as the one I released. Any other CM9 or CM10 based ROM is a community built ROM and will have its bugs and quirks. If you want solid, day to day reliability and all your ports to work, then stick with ICS. I don't see what you gain with JB anyway, the look virtually the same and the code really hasn't changed much.
Team EOS 3 JB Nightlys & KAT Kernel
100% solid, stable and very fast
I would recommend Revolver 4.x + Guevor's 22.6 kernel. I'm on version 4.1.1 for months now. It's stable, reliable - no SOD or RR at all. Oc'ed kernel to 1.4 GHzso it's smooth and fast.
However I've tried CM10 (RaymanFX) as well. It was even faster and smoother BUT I was suffering from poor Wifi and frequent loss of sound, that's why I decided to go back to Revolver ICS. But I definately will flash JB again, once the issues are solved.

.27 has been very stable for me so that's why I chose the Energy ics rom. I want faster while keeping the reliability. My concern was that since it's not being actively supported very much that it wasn't a finished product.
So far, it's working perfectly for me. I'll put it through the paces over the next few days to torture test it.

I recommend Android Revolution HD (ARHD):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1245892
Mike just released version 3.6
I have tried many ROM's but keep coming back to ARHD. It is the most stable and has all of the features I want.
Much more smother & stable than the stock ASUS ROM.
Use Harmony:

or
guevor kernel 22.6

I'll keep those in mind if my TF starts getting *****y with me. So far, it's night and day better than stock...faster, smoother and just better all around.
My browser actually loads pages without any problems. I don't have the need to flash for the sake of flashing or even comparing it with the Note 2. The only thing that matters is if what it does is fast/good enough for me.
I tried lots... CM10, Team EOS, Revolver... and they all had major issues making them unusable... plus I like the Asus built-in apps.
Stock (rooted) is the only way to go for me as other ROMs are simply too sluggish. I wish I had time to learn and contribute

I'm not a chronic updater so I mostly look for stability and overall efficiency...not necessarily the newest and fastest...at the expense of stability. Stock ICS .27 has been rock solid for me...no random restarts, good battery life and worked with my apps...(but I don't use a lot of apps).
On the other hand, I do appreciate those who torture test every android iteration so the rest of us can experience vicariously what others are actually doing.
