News started to trickle out this week about a new Android build called Linaro. Basically, it takes stock Android 4.0.4 and makes it super-fast, and super-awesome(er). In fact, it can boost performance by up to 100 percent over stock. Considering how fast and fluid stock Android 4.0.x already is (especially compared to older versions of the OS), that's quite impressive. Don't take my word for it, though, here's one of the main Linaro guys, Bernhard Rosenkranzer, showing it off on a TI Pandaboard. The Pandaboard features the OMAP 4430 processor (the same one that's in the Droid RAZR), so this is definitely a real-world example of what Linaro is capable of:
As you can see, the Linaro build finishes long before the stock Android build. That's not the best part though: the parts of Linaro that make is so efficient and fast are coming soon to Cyanogenmod 9.
Basically, parts of the Linaro code have been submitted to the CM9 gerrit and are currently awaiting approval. Once commited, these tweaks will be added to the main CM9 code, giving all supported devices a drastic increase in performance.
The good news doesn't end there, though: Galaxy Nexus owners can already take an unofficial CM9 build with the Linaro bits for a whirl. From what we've read, this build is noticeably faster and more fluid right out of the gate. Awesome.
Since the first rule of CM is don't ask for ETAs, we have no idea when we could start seeing builds show up with Linaro code, so for now, we'll all just have to take comfort in knowing that things in the CM9 world are getting ready to get a lot faster.

It has been posted on the kyorarom serenity thread that our kernel is incompatable and that there were errors during building of it

I saw this thread over at the Galaxy Nexus forums, and since I figured more people than just me might want to know more about the different ROMs, I thought it was worrth a thread here as well.
What I'm interested is a quick reference thread for the various Jellybean ROMs. Run by who, what's the aim, etc. Basically a quick reference guide to assist people (like me) decide which ROM fits my needs.
So far, these are the Jellybean builds that I know about for the TF101:
Team EOS 3 Jellybean nightlies
RaymanFX's 4.1.1 AOSP builds
CM10 preview edition
JellyBro (CM10 kang)
AOKP KANG
Let me know if you see anyone missing.
It would be nice for each ROM to have a a post which lists its key features:
Aim of the ROM. Tweaks, Stability, Speed, AOSP-like cleanness, etc
State. In active development, experimental, mature, stable, abondoned, etc.
ROM base, if any. Based on AOSP, AOKP, CM, etc.
Release-type/frequency: Nightly, interval, fixed releases, etc.
Non-stock/AOSP features. Swag, Toggles, Theming, OCing, etc.
Basically enough info to assist making a decision, without aiming for pages and pages of stuff which noone will ever bother to write (or read). See this post for an example of what I'm thinking about.
Feel free to recommend a non-default kernel for the ROM, but the focus should be on what the ROM itself offers out of the box.
Sounds good? Anyone wants to give it a go?
User summaries of the various ROMs.
I'm not guaranteeing that I will be able/willing to include all reviews here. If things get out of hand, I will edit this post to indicate so.

I've been meaning to make a thread like this, but I still have yet to find the time.
I read through all the JB threads about a week ago and Team Eos seemed to have the least amount of bugs so I chose it over the other options.
I'll start off by saying I've been using it daily since build #53 [2012-07-24] and I'm currently on build #54.
That said, here's what I've noticed so far:
Speaker volume is a bit low.
When using the HDMI out cable, sound plays via TF101 speakers, not TV speakers.
Video effects (Silly Faces) in Camera cause camera to crash.
GPS doesn't work.
Other than that, it's a very stable rom and working great. Dock functions 100%. Very responsive, stable and fast.
Also I'm using Guevor's JB Kernel 693. I just noticed 696 was released yesterday, so flashing that now .
Feel free to ask any questions about the rom. Maybe some time next week I can flash all the JB kernels out there and put them through their paces .
Note this rom is a GREAT daily driver, unless you really need GPS or use HDMI out very often, I highly recommend it.
I'm also running Team EOS nightlies and I'm very happy with it.
Here's my quick summary:
ROM: Team EOS nightlies
Non-stock/AOSP features.. Notification toggles. Overclocking. (Themes added in build #55?)
Aim...................... Stability
ROM base................. Team EOS
State.................... In active development
Release-type............. Nightly
Build(s) tested.......... 2012.07.23 to current (2012.08.01). With and without dock.
Not working / problems:
Audio generally low. (Seems to be a general JB problem across devices?)
HDMI audio out
Have encountered 2 sleeps of death while using it for around 2 weeks.
Everything else seems to be working.
My only complaint so far is lack of a status-bar battery-widget for the dock, like you have in Megatron (ICS). But I don't think any other of the JB ROMs available has that one either.
Great idea!
Will keep this thread under close observation :good:

Check out Dual Battery Widget from the play store. It has an option for having the dock battery level show in the status bar.
Also I'd like to add I haven't had a single SOD on Team Eos nightlies (been on since #53). But I have had a few reboots, all but 1 have occurred while not using the tablet.

Using RaymanFX's 4.1.1 JB
Hi guys, thought I'd share this info. I'm using RaymanFX's ROM and overall it's running well. My only issue so far is that Google Now crashes right after launching. It was working before I started adding new apps, so I'm guessing there is a conflict with another app. Unfortunately I don't know which one it is. I'm guessing maybe gmail, Google maps, or Google +. I haven't tested the HDMI or used in the dock yet but WiFi and graphics seem good. The ROM itself is extremely lean, no bloat to speak of.
I had to flash the ROM a second time to get it working but it's possible that I goofed it up the first time because it does take a bit to do the initial boot and I was getting impatient and thought it locked up and rebooted.
I'll probably try the EOS ROM next.

Team EOS nigthly.. Rayman has not updated this one in awhile and has been working on other projects. I'm not sure actually how good CM10 is, but I've run both this and TeamEOS and I changed to a TeamEOS / KAT 1.14 (now) combo and I have never looked back.. TeamEOS has the most fleshed out version of JB in my humble opinion.

If just install the rom 0.7 from raymanfx. The first time from me i root my tf101 !
It work great, some small functionnality are missing on the keyboard but it gives a second life to our baby.
Sent from my Transformer(4.2.1 rom 0.7) using xda app-developers app
Yep, I' using 0.7 from Raymanfx also. Its great to have the mutli-user support, but I think it comes with significant overhead and I'm not sure the TF101 can handle this.... still testing and will keep everyone informed.
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.
Tried:
CM9/CM10
AOSP JB Alpha

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].
I've not got a N4 yet but it will be interesting to know which is preferred. On my Note the clear winner is CM with stability, battery life and performance. Obviously AOSP has more customisations but performance is sacrificed.
CM seems less popular here with people going with PAC or PA. Maybe CM is more infantile here?

Your question doesn't really make sense. CM is AOSP. All ROMs are based off AOSP.
You're getting your terminology wrong here. Unless you mean AOKP rather than AOSP?
Personally I don't use CyanogenMod because it lacks the feature of changing the navigation height/width; whereas, other ROMs have that feature.

on a legacy platform cm rules everything and nothing touches it. most other roms will either base on cm completely or depend on its build trees.
this is nexus, we get source, drivers, kernels and vendor blobs directly from google. developers can just start programming - no one needs to hack through locked bootloaders or bs like that. it reverses the rules, aosp roms will be popular ofc because they are usually faster up to date, have less fallouts and bring more features.

yes, but you got to stretch it to make room for hundreds of incompatible devices that want a slice of google android. much of it you can branch out, some of it you have to mix into the android sourcebase. theres more weight to it and greater responsibility.
What is the most stable 4.2.2 AOKP ROM for this device? Also would you recommend that or CM10.1 RC5 for stability and features?
Could you please write we what is that AOKP?

Personally the most recent AOKP are pretty stable. You can use whatever you want based on your needs/wants in a ROM. If you find a rom that doesn't fit your expectations you should switch to another one. Play around with them.

AOKP = Android Open Kang Project. Its a rom with lots of customization options.
All Nexus roms are pretty stable for the most part and bugs won't affect your day-to-day usage.
I personally prefer Carbon. It has goodies from AOKP, CM, Paranoid Android's "Halo"
If you think AOKP has a lot of customizations, check Carbon you'll be blown away.
I agree about using Carbon We really have all the best customization options of AOKP, PA, CM and Slim roms all in a small package and that is near stock looking and runs SPEEDY and smooth.
AOKP Milestone 1 is surprisingly stable. The only problem I've found is the Recents Menu is somewhat buggy, that may or may not be a deal-breaker for you.
I'm using the latest nightly and it's been working flawless for me. Normally I stick with mile stones, but it had a 2g toggle bug in it that drive me crazy.
