So guys I was asking myself "is it worth flashing?". Why you ask? Well because if I took a look in the development section and it doesn't look like any of the current roms out are stable and they all seem to have many know issues. So I would like to know what you have flashed and how you like the experience compares to stock rom?

I have flashed a bunch of roms on this tab. Most of them are stable now. ALL of them running ics are better than the honeycomb touchwiz that comes pre installed. The only caveat I say to you, is that the camera still isn't working on the roms I've been using as my dailies. (Aokp and Nightlies) If that's a deal killer for you, then stay away from the ics builds for now. But I can tell you as someone who has a 2 year + old Droid Incredible running ics AND this tab running ics, I can never go back. Its just THAT good. Especially on this tab where it Truly shows off the big improvements on the OS.

I'm running a stock mod but the difference is pretty huge. No more constant reboots or hangs. Much faster too. Not using any special kernels either. The ROM I'm using has working GPS and camera. Haven't touched any roms with broken cam/GPS.

Can I ask which ROM you're using? (I thought there wasn't an ICS ROM with working camera...?)
He never said nor implied that he was using an ICS rom...
Ah OK. (Just realised you're right)
I'm using overcome 2.3.1. It's not ics. It's pretty nice. Went from multiple daily reboots to 3 or 4days of uptime. I use it a lot for reading, browsing, netflix, remote mgmt of servers and it holds up well. I bought 3 Samsung docks and have it hooked up to my home theater for music via hdmi, on my nightstand (ditched the tv in the bedroom) and another in my office. I wouldn't have been able to keep it without a rom. Give it a shot. Take your time and read up, it's pretty simple. I'm kinda pissed they made such a great tablet and put such a horrible buggy os on it.
I saw all the comments here suggesting to throw a rom on it to improve performance but I didn't put much stock in it. It's not an exaggeration. You have to ditch the tw launcher too. I'm using Go's tablet edition. I guarantee you will not go back to stock. I chose overcome because it's really stable. No point trying to escape bugs and using a buggy rom.
Getting off my soapbox now. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Yes that was one of my major concerns of ics. I'm running dark sides evolution 2 beta 3 on my sgs2. But when I came here to read about the 10.1 ics versions I was kind of sad. Because like it was said the 10.1 is awesome but cannot be used on stock w/o mods. I really just want to get on a stable release that doesn't have this issue where you could only charge your tab with the wall charger. I need a different kernal.

With Task v14, I feel that the Galaxy tab is vastly improved from the stock bloatware.
I don't really care about ICS on the Galaxy. Task 14 is so good, I don't see ICS as improving much. I have ICS running on HP Touchpad and Kindle Fire, right now.
it's nice, but IMHO not really worth all of the hype over an optimized GB ROM. YMMV.
Task v 14 is really great, highly recommend it over any ics roms.

Yeah I'm not even using any special kernel and have no probs charging.
I'm actually happy with my stock rooted GS2. The only problems I've had are few and far between and solved with a reboot.
I looked at all the major roms on the dev page and Overcome seemed to be the safest stable rom.

I think your info may be outdated there are a few very and very fast roms out there. I use galaxy task rom and it is very smooth really like night and day over stock.
Perhaps what might come off as unstable are the continuing work by the devs to keep improving the rom

my $.02: My use-case for my tablet is almost entirely at home. I have the Wi-Fi only model, so I don't do a lot of "mobile" stuff with it. I have a Galaxy Nexus phone which I generally carry everywhere.
What I thought: As a techie, I want everything to be fully working just because, and as a result I cannot accept a tablet without a working camera!
Real Life: I use my tablet for IM, web browsing, reading comics, and playing games, generally around the house or while commuting. That's actually it. Number of times I did a video chat on my tablet: 1. Number of times I actually wanted to video chat on my tablet: maybe 2. Because I work with a Galaxy Nexus all the time, having the same OS & ROM on both devices is honestly nicer / easier / more lazy-friendly. Its honestly pretty slick to have Chrome syncing across my computers, my phone, and my tablet.
I recently tried to go back to Honeycomb since I once again thought "gee maybe I should use the camera on my tablet". Honeycomb just feels like ICS with training wheels on it I really don't like it as much. This probably as much a placebo effect as anything. Also, the camera isn't as good as my Galaxy Nexus or my actual camera, and I feel like a douche holding my tablet up to take a picture. Would being able to Skype on my tablet be cool? Yes. Would I use it that often? No.
I'm going back to AOKP damnit. I can deal with a non-working camera for a while.
And GPS??? My device doesn't have mobile data, so it really doesn't matter to me that much, even though I thought it would.
Bottom Line: You can back all your stuff up, and you're not out anything, so why not try it?

Is it worth worth flashing to Paranoid Android or should i stay with my stock rom?
That is really up to you I personally use AOKP but each person has their own preference. Just back up your current ROM and settings and flash away try a bunch of different ones figure out which one works best for you
I tried PA as it's very popular but there were unfortunately a few turn offs for me. I tried it a few times hoping I might like it but I couldn't.
I am not a fan of any tablet UI on my N7 at all, I use it exclusively in portrait mode (games aside). The main settings page is hard coded to display dual view. The sub menus can be changed through DPI settings. Also on the home screens, there will be a blue box around the home pages as you scroll. No ability to change lock screen colors.
I'm just picky like that and it's all cosmetic. If there were more options, I would of given it more of a chance. I really wanted to use it but couldn't. I went back to XenonHD.

PA just somehow didn't suit me and my nexus 7. The tablet ui feels way too cramped, and per app layout sure is neat but I never quit bothered to use it, stock works fine of not better. Of course, it's just my personal opinion, why don't you try it out yourself to see what's what.

It depends on what ROM you probably come from (if you're coming from AOSP, most likely you have to full wipe; if coming from CM10 or CM10-based ROM's, you "might" not have to full wipe).

Just make a backup and you can easily flash back to where you were if you don't like PA. Otherwise you will have to set everything up but you can use titanium backup to save your apps and restore them.

A lot of people say that it is the most customizable rom for nexus 7, so if you like the 'personalize everything' idea check it out, you will love it.
For me, PA works slower than other roms and is focused on customization, i dont really prefer it. I use SmoothRom now and it is acting great so far.
I love it so far, the only rom I've ever used but I am noticing the slight speed decrease and as time goes on I'm liking phablet mode more and using less of its features so I might look for something "more pure" soon.
That's my 2 cents

I'm running Cookies&Cream (PA/CNA hybrid) and its definitely faster than the CM10 nightly builds that I was running.
I have a question, I just got m nexus 4 and unlocked the bootloader, rooted and have cwm recovery. I came from a samsung galaxy s2 and ran cm10 on that phone and can understand why to run aosp on a samsung touchwiz based rom, BUT why go cm10 on a stock google rom? Besides adding a reboot menu, what does cm10 add extra? How much stability can it actually add to the phone?? Any input?
Also just wondering if franco kernel will work with stock rom?
I've always been a fan of going straight to CM10 or other custom ROMs with my previous phones to improve performance. With the N4 I feel that the stock performance is more than adequate and worth hanging onto. However, in my case, I really like the quick toggle mod that someone made which allows the quick settings tabs to become quick toggles instead of directing you to the settings menu. For this reason I decided to go with the MoDaCo custom ROM Because it is essentially the stock ROM + advanced power menu + quick toggle mod. It's perfect for me.
This go-around I'm going to give CM10.1 a couple months to turn into a 100% solid/bug free ROM before I consider switching to it. Right now people are reporting random weird issues with it such as invalid timestamps on text messages & issues with Wifi.

Adds much more than a reboot menu. Many of the CM10 features still haven't been merged yet either.
My main reasons: I prefer the CM toggles to any app substitute, Profiles, Quiet Hours, the notification light implementation, I'm a bit of a Theme Chooser whore.
There are substitutes for all of those things, but I prefer to have it as part of the system.
There are still quite a few things that are missing however, but they're working hard on making them ready for 4.2.1
^^ Quiet hours, good call. I forgot about that. It is a feature I definitely miss but can do without for now.
Well OP, you kinda answered your own question. It's the features of CM that makes people want to use it. It adds more functionality. Like what someone said in the thread, it's still being merged so it's a work in progress.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Honestly, sometimes I question when the Android team will just start rolling in certain CM features by default.
CyanogenMod has features built in that is not offered on stock. On stock,you would probably have to download several apps just to get the same functionality that CM has.

Agreed. Really liking the nexus 4s screen. It's going to take some time getting used to the blacks, the blacks on gn definitely looked better as my beautiful widgets widget looks weird now. But for brighter colors and for viewing videos, the color reproduction for the ips is pretty astonishing.
Hopefully PGM makes it way to N4, that kernel module was so fun to use on my GN.

just ordered my note 10.1 yesterday. should be here next week!
i have an s3, and i just updated it to the latest version of AOKP.
of course i'll be rooting it but i was wondering if anyone thought the tradeoff to using a different rom was worth it. i got the note for work (mainly notes and powerpoints) so i'd hate to not be able to use any of the features that really set it apart from other android tablets!
My personal experience left me inclined to stay with a touchwiz based custom ROM, some extra power and flexibility without losing anything. CM and AOKP are nice as always, but on this particular tablet I really find features like multi window, smart stay and air view to be well worth their weight. There's a growing selection of roms that retain all of the Note's features. I really liked Android revolution a lot, am currently on Collective edition. You can even enable all apps to multi window, which is just savvy!

Kidding aside though, normally I only deal with AOSP-capable devices, but you have to admit that the TW version (and features) we have on the Note 10.1 are pretty nice- so I'm using ROMs that are as close to Stock as possible (namely, Darkman's ROMs and lately AR HD 5.0).
Also, most complaints about "bloatware" are completely unfounded and appear to come from users who read not-quite-fully-understood posts on forums like these. I've never used Crayon Whatever-it's-called nor the Music Hub, and the effect of either is negligible. They don't take up much in the way of storage either (esp. on devices with at least 11GB of free space out of the box).
Actually it's the stock rom for Australia... Was using my note to post... Samsung seem to have a bug in JB they released for us poor buggers down here. Only real problem with the stock rom though...:silly::laugh:
Not gonna complain too much though, It took them long enough to release it...

99% of the time its being used it's to keep the All-Share Cast Dongle working, which (due to DRM reasons) won't run if the flash counter is greater than 0. It really doesn't affect anything else, AFAIK.
I couldn't take the reboots, freezes or general crappieness of the TF101 anymore. I broke down and bought a Nexus 10 and its amazing, I have used it for an entire 10 minutes without it rebooting on me once (which I cannot say for the TF101).
So long guy.
You should have spent a little time on custom roms instead of so much money on a new device
Congrats on the new toy. I agree that custom ROMs make the TF101 an amazing device, but enjoy!
Seems to be bad luck. My tf has been free of SoD or RR for months and months... Using megatron and guvevor's kernel and now with tim's rom and kernel it's even better

I installed numerous custom roms, the best was the EOS which is currently on it. The freezes would either happen within the first 5 minutes, or wait for 15 minutes or 35 minutes. It also had the death sleep, if I left it alone for more than 20 minutes with the screen off I had to hold down the volume button and power button because the screen wouldn't come on. Its a very frustrating device to say the lease.

Well i never had any reboots\freezes since JB roms
But still The N10 an excellent device congrats!
I think I had maybe a handful of RR's since the last rendition of ICS. Got even better with EOS 3 and 4. It's been ages.
I had SODs way back in the earlier ICS days, too. But I almost forgot what those were since .27. None since JB. Once in a blue moon I'll get the pop-up window giving me the option to wait or force-close an app, usually during a file transfer, hitting wait always solves the problem. Happens so infrequently that I probably shouldn't even mention it.
My only reboots lately have been to flash a new version of the ROM. I too like the thing better now than I did when I bought it, and I was actually pretty pleased with it then. I still use it 3:1 over our N7. I am expecting my next tablet to be 16 cores @ 3GHz.
My experience with custom ROMs wasn't as smooth either. I tried latest Cyanogen and EOS4 on my TF101G in hopes that it might fix it, or that I might find out why these symptoms occur, but no. A few days ago, I went back to stock ICS and it seems semi-stable right now, but I'll wait and see.
Either way, the case of SODs seemed more prominent on EOS4 for me: I'd want to turn the device back on to do something on it, and it won't, so I had to hold Power until it restarted itself. Happened about once in 1~2 days.
Another symptom that was annoying the living hell out of me is the launcher disappearance: at some point (probably when memory usage reaches high enough), the launcher (ANY launcher - I tried them all!) would just disappear and leave me with nothing but a background. I could still tap on things and they would run, but I wouldn't see any context menus or the app drawer, or anything else launcher-related, not until I kill all the running applications to free the memory (helps for a short amount of time), or plain reboot (helps for longer than that). This problem is also apparent on ICS, so I didn't quite get rid of it by downgrading...
Anyway, congrats on the N10, spotdog. It will probably rid you of this mess. Me - I think I'll stay for a while. The dock is comfortable in a way for what I do, which is the only reason I got this device for a relatively cheap price. Other than that, a part of me kinda regrets doing it.
I have rooted and flashed pretty much every rom available for our transformer and every single rom is the same. Constant lag and issues. I don't know what's wrong with this tablet, the transformer I had before this one never lagged with any rom.

Same experience that drove me away from purchasing another Asus tablet. That is also the main reason I didn't go for the Nexus 7 was because Asus manufactured it.
