My zoom has always had EOS on it so I don't see why I would go stock. The EOS team has always surpassed my expectations for what to include in their roms.

I was tempted to try the EOS JB ROM but kept reading about people being disappointed with it.

Zero issues with the OTA so far, for me.

Only one person mentioned being disappointed with EOS JB (which is brand new and in its early stages of enhancements) as opposed to EOS ICS (which is fully mature and magnificent). Let me tell you...the EOS JB Rom will only get better and is 100% fully functional now. I've never heard of that commenter and he/she probably doesn't know some of the tricks to increase smoothness. Also, stock JB will not incorporate linaro enhancements...
I expect big things from EOS with a Jelly Bean flavored ROM, but for right now, reading through the thread, it isn't there yet. The OTA is fully functional, so I'm going to stick with it until the EOS team has a release candidate.
OP asked for everyone's thoughts! These are mine.
Have used Teameos and Cyanogenmod in the past, current and future. Technically I had a Canadian Xoom and it is poorly supported by Moto Canada so I jumped into the custom ROMs. Makes for a much better experience. Fortunately the developers support the WiFi Xoom better then Motorolla Canada. Thank you.

Used both briefly.
Moto's is missing the hotword capability in google now.
EOS has it, but I thought you could hotword from the home screen instead of being inside google now.
EOS no doubt for me as I am from the UK and moto hasn't even released ICS over here yet plus eos sorts bugs out in a day or two Motorola would take weeks
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
will eos use the OTA from yesterday as the new source/basis for their JB work?
Motorola update for now - two big reasons (for me):
- Stachre's updates always properly flash the bootloader and system images while doing full wipes. I love this...I feel it gives me a fresh start and it provides upgrade integrity.
- Stock kernel is nice for now and everything feels smooth although I havent tried the recent nightlies of EOS - so it could be comparable.
However, EOS will no doubt add awesome functionality and more than likely Linaro improvements. When this happens I will go back to EOS.
We all win big when the OTA's hit devices though. They are both crucial (Stock and EOS)
Team eos definitely,

But of course! (But to be honest, there weren't any Earthshaking changes- EOS and Moto are essentially running the same code-base, and surprisingly enough the NVidia Graphics Core stuff (OpenGL, etc.) didn't change at all.)
Having not used the official OTA, I can't say for sure, but I would say if you're familiar with using beta roms and working around small bugs, definitely go with EOS. If you want something stable, official.
Since the radios were fixed, EOS is pretty stable, considering. As long as you're not one of those people that expects a rom that's still in development to be perfect, then bashes the rom in the forums when it's not, I would recommend trying it.
Can't compare the official JB update but EOS 3 nightlies have been faster than the official ICS build by Motorola, so I am happy plus I love the quick toggles that are found on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. EOS only gets better and I look forward to updates improving speed.

Because ICS will be optimized for both tablets and phones, I think we'll begin to see a lot more tablet support from Cyanogenmod.
Speaking of which, I'm looking at buying an a500, and I was trying to find out if there is either a beta, or an unofficial CM port, but when I searched this forum for cyanogenmod I got 0 hits. Is search broken, or am I missing something? From what I've read, the bootloader lock was cracked, so why is no one on the whole a500 forum talking about CM?
I am not 100 % sure but I think cm is still on 2.3.whatever whereas we are on 3.x.x

I think that we may see an official update through Acer depending on the requirements Google has for the hardware part of ICS.
I also believe that CM will most likely stay exclusive to phones. Although ICS will support both phones and tablets, I don't see CM moving away from making custom Roms for phones.
However, I do hope that the CM team will be willing to try something new seeing as the ICS code should be very similar for both Tablets and Phones.
I guess we will just have to wait and see.

CM 9 Progress Update
We’ve been hard at work on CM9 since Google released Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) into the wild last month, and things are slowly starting to come together. Google did a great job with ICS and added some really awesome features which in some cases replace or deprecate functionality that we had in CM7, so we are reevaluating all of our customizations. A number of devices are already up and running with CM9, and the focus is currently on getting as many devices ready as we can. The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos. We also have some Tegra2 tablets in the pipeline such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus Transformer. Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan. And sorry Droid1 owners, we’re dropping support for you. Time to upgrade
There are a number of challenges that we are up against. Google has made some pretty major changes to the Android framework that break compatibility with older proprietary camera and graphics drivers in order to achieve some pretty insane performance, but I am confident that the team will be able to overcome these issues like we have in the past.
For those of you who like to build CM from source yourself, you probably know that the spin-up time when starting a CM7 build is absurdly long due to the high number of devices in our repository. Koush and Arcee have put together a solution to this problem that adds new devices on-demand to your local repository, saving on both bandwidth and the long startup time. Some other great enhancements are coming too, like a completely overhauled music app, a new file manager, and a new launcher based on stock 4.0.
If you have a Nexus S, you can check out the code and build for yourself today. More devices are on the way, and I’ll send out these status updates as we make more progress

Its Vanilla ICS. Most stable best battery life and best performance.
You have to try it to actually realize the differance. Which is like day and night

It'll be interesting to see what the difference is. CM is usually better than stock firmware sure so being as lean and cut-back as possible while still adding in extremely useful features.
Asus have done a great job of keeping their firmware bloat-free though, so it may not be too different, performance-wise. The biggest advantage will probably come from extended support. Asus probably won't upgrade the TF101 past 4.0 - having CM pretty much ensures that it will get every version of Android in the future so long as somebody is interested in getting it running.

A lot of the "bloat" Asus has added is incredibly useful. Polaris Office is really nice, and unavailable if Asus didn't include it. Same with Supernote, which is pretty good for free. Splashtop, again, expensive software included for free.
The **** I hate is them bundling things like Netflix... it's freely available on the market, and only available in select regions, why on earth would you bundle that?

Yeah he's used Jelly Bean... he has a Galaxy Nexus and so do I but I totally disagree with player911.
Jelly Bean is more of a 'behind the scenes' optimized version of Android. Project Butter is HUGE, although it may not look like so but the overall responsiveness of Android OS is SUPERB and I have a feeling that this is just the beginning. When comparing ICS to JB, it is absolutely night and day difference.
Can't wait for a finalized ROM with all the features we love in a bug free ROM
i installed team eos jb rom. while it does much smoother then ics, it's not stutter free. low frame rate occurred when you happened to run active running process in the background. but it is huge improvement compared to ics. now with live wallpaper, sliding between home screen is still very smooth.

Dear valued ASUS customer,
At ASUS, one of the key commitments we make to our customers is a relentless drive to deliver the best user experience. We constantly strive to achieve this goal through our ‘Design Thinking’ philosophy that includes regular software and firmware updates for our products.
We are pleased to announce that many of our tablet products are scheduled to receive an update to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. The ASUS Transformer Pad, ASUS Transformer Pad Prime and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity are all scheduled to receive Android 4.1 updates in the coming months. We will provide further guidance on our expected timeframes for these updates near their release.
We are still investigating Jelly Bean updates for other devices, but we are not in a position to confirm whether any other products will be eligible for an update at the moment.
Thank you for your continued support.
ASUS

I was just getting ready to post that also as I just saw it on FB. Glad the Tegra 3 devices are getting it. I hope they decide to bring it to the Tegra 2 devices also, since I own one of them. If not, then I'll wait for the devs and custom JB roms.
I don't have a transformer, but I'll second that. "Project butter" makes it sound gimmicky, but It really is a significant difference.
I installed the Cyangenmod 10.0 Preview yesterday and was very surprised by how smooth it was already. I am yet to have a FC on the rom, not to say one will not come.

Not sure if I am alone on this and I am sure I will probably get a lot of heat. Our 7.7 has been out close to a year now (correct me if I am wrong) and I am a bit sad that there isn't much development on this tab. I keep an eye on the development section and so far all there is is the following: custom rom based on ICS, straight CM9, straight CM10, Nexus 7 based on CM10, Paranoid based on CM10 and one other one and guess what based on CM10. So that's 2 based on ICS and 4 based on JB but 5 of them are CM builds. To some people 6 custom roms seem to be a good thing but in reality there are only 2. I don't count all the different flavors of CM as an individual rom because it's the basic rom and devs just put their own spin on it. Now I am not putting down any of the CM team and I know CM is a very popular rom but why isn't anyone else coming up a JB rom that is NOT based on CM. I have tried 3 different versions of the CM flavor ROMS and there are many issues. Now I have addressed those issues in their respective threads and have been told many times before that this is just how CM has built and either I use it or not, that's all good and no problem, but not happy about it at the same time.
I would just like for someone to come out with a JB rom that is NOT based on any CM build as too keep all functions working PROPERLY. Maybe the lack of development is because there aren't many 7.7 units available in the USA (I am not counting the Verizon model as the majority are all imports) and their current price is a big drawback. Now that the Nexus 7 will be released with 3G and will probably be more affordable than our 7.7 I predict that development will surely die out and people will jump straight to the Nexus 7 with 3G and us current owners will be left on the dark unless and official JB update is released (I doubt it).
This is my rant and my opinion please respect it, once again I am not here to disrespect anyone and applaud your support for this device even if there isn't much.

But when all is said and done.....even stock ROM ICS gives us a damned great tab. We can always hope (delusionally perhaps) Samsung will release a JB update.....but even if not, I quite look forward to years of enjoyment with my 7.7.

Ohai! Here's the deal. I pulled the plug on the Eos project for a few reasons. First, I became unable to maintain the quality of the project while having to deal with countless internal systems issues and doing branch and build maintenance. Second, I didn't have control of the servers and other various resources, like the Goo account. That's why I couldn't get rid of the last two derped builds. Third, I'd rather focus on innovation than dealing with all the internal AOSP build system stuff. As of now, it appears the Eos servers are offline. Which is fine because i have the repository on numerous boxes and right here on my laptop. Finally, I was no longer enjoying Androiding. I NEEDED SOME FRESH ENERGY! Virtually the entire Eos team has already migrated to the new project and got their respective devices up and running! I put about 40 hours a week into Android and I needed to find some guys who have similar time to dedicate to a project. And that team is CodeFireX, lead by Synergy.
A little about Synergy, founder and new combined project team leader. Synergy is a linux guru. He is a master of the aosp build system and talented C programmer. Synergy leads the AOSP scene in innovative new optimization techniques and build solutions. TeamEos has worked closely with Synergy and CodeFireX for a while now. So the decision for us to migrate over to CFX made perfect sense.
When I drop some test builds, you will notice that, indeed, it is a new project, with some new philosophy. There is more CyanogenMod resources in this project. Particularly, some of the CyanogenMod apps including the CMFileManager and Apollo, the CM music player. We are also using the open source Superuser solution from Koush. "Why is this?" "Won't it look like a kang build?" Well, yes. But this project will be the one getting kanged. Like Eos, this project started with a pure AOSP base. I have been surgical in bringing in select desired resources from other teams. Synergy embraces the philosophy of having a solid build without a gapps package installed. In light of recent revelations regarding government surveillance, many people are enjoying Android without the Google Services. We want to provide a build that caters to these wise individuals. And, we feel that the open source CyanogenMod resources are the best. You will "feel" Eos in this build. The Eos spirit lives on in CFX. Always remember, it's not about team names, it's about people.
We now have a wealth of new resources to provide to our users. We have dedicated hosting in which downloading builds will be smoking fast. We have SERIOUS bandwidth. We also have a new forum in which we can provide users with tools that go beyond XDA support. However, I will continue to maintain XDA threads, of course. We have a sophisticated new ChangeLog scheme. And we now use Phabricator instead of Gerrit for project review.
Xoom users face a challenge now. Because of optimization, the build is rather large. Optimization increases the size of libraries and binaries. So, in order to get a successful Xoom build, I have to really "unbloat" the build. This is due to the Xoom having such a small system partition. And that brings us to gapps. Many of you know, CyanogenMod has made the decision to discontinue support on "non-neon" devices. The Xoom is one such device. The reason for this is mostly because Google is discontinuing support of non-neon devices as well. So, for now, I don't have a solid gapps solution. But i'll come up with something, I always do ;D
Test Builds: I should have round 1 up soon. First rounds will be no gapps and meant to simply test core functionality and hardware.
I truly hope you guys enjoy the new project. Besides, it's time to get some fresh ENERGY back in the Xoom scene anyway!
Stay tuned

That said, welcome to the evolution of TeamEOS - CodefireX or more to say the CodefireXperiment!
Randall (bigrushdog) and me worked hard the last weeks to get the TF101 supported properly with CodefireXperiment, as we promised all devices supported by EOS will be supported by CFX, too .
I finally achieved a mostly working build yesterday, with main hardware working and I couldn't find any issues that EOS hasn't had.
I also ran some benchmarks and compared them to the latest EOS builds (the good ones, not the borked of course) with the help of @Roach2010, EOS and CodefireX team member and the original EOS on TF101 developer. We came to the conclusiion that CFX will give you a roughly estimated 10% performance boost, mostly notable for CPU and I/O performance.
So here I am, to share the first test build with the TF101 community!
Test build #1 - Download
Credits go to the original TeamEOS, and of course the new CodefireX team!
Special thanks go to @bigrushdog for helping me with TF101 bringup (mostly frameworks stuff, I really suck at that) and in general for being a nice team member who is always there for a chat, @synergye for leading the new team and bringing one HELL of optimizations to the new ROM and thus to the TF101. Thank him for the performance boost! @timduru also deserves at least a massive special thanks for assisting and contributing back in EOS times, sadly he didn't move over to CodefireX due to various reasons. However, we all know he enhanced EOS and especially the TF101 to an extend noone of us could have achieved on his own.
Tried this out this evening. Seems pretty good, but minimal, so far. Will check back again after some more work is done.
Pleasure to see you back Chris :good:
Let's test it!
Where to look for changelog, and stuff like "merged" "opened" ... as in Teamos ?
Cool!
I'm still using the last builds of Eos4 on both my Nexus7 and tf101. Both work so well I have a difficult time moving on to anything else, but i'm gonna give this a shot and see how I like it. Thanks for continuing to work on Android for us!
I wonder how long this will last.
Any screenshots?

Have to say i forgot i still had the test build on my TF. Still going strong without a single issue to report. Hopefully get RaymanFX back with us for another stint seen as hes not allowed to move on and have a life of his own :laugh:

Looks like it was over before it ever really got started.

I've noticed quite a bit of development for alot of other devices from CodefireX, but I have not seen anything for the TF101 or any other Asus tablet. Have they abandoned this device line or just really slow to work on it? Timduru since returning from vacation has been a madman and has released not only multiple updates on the 4.2.2 chain but has moved the device onto a stable 4.3 ROM by himself.
Not criticizing here just curious.

This project appears to have been abandoned. At least in terms of the TF101. Not a big deal. timduru has 4.3 fully working on the TF.

I don't know either. He abandoned all his TF projects, then comes back only to tease a new project that never materialized.

Yeah .. I teased 1 project on accident just because I ended up not having time to fully complete it (PAC)

Well, they did quite a bit at one point or another for our tablets, and it was based on their own time and interest, so I'm not slamming them for moving on to other things, although I am a bit disappointed that they would make the noise of supporting it and nearly completely ignoring it (they did put out a test build).
And I agree, Timduru's builds have been phenominal, I just hope he was able to enjoy his vacation since he's been back, the boy seems to be working like a dog....er a meercat.

They did good things but it would have been nice to at least say they were not going to continue. Checking that crazy change log has been a pain.
We have to thank Tim for the work but I don't think he will be able too keep it up alone he will burn out trying. He is a great guy.
Which is timdru's most recent stable Rom ,um currently using team eos b202 with kat kernel and it's rock solid and would only change if I can get similar on 4.3,
