Hey guys,
I recently bought a Asus TF300T and it is under ICS currently. Should I upgrade it to the lastest Jelly Bean or no ? I heard some ( a lot ) of people complaining about bugs, random reboots, black lines ect....
Is it stable and smooth ? or it's better to stay under ICS ? (Im quite happy with ICS now)
So what do you think guys ?
And yes, I don't want to root or to flash custom, so please don't tell me to try JB then flash back ICS cause I don't want to lose Asus' warranty.
Thank you for helping me.
The latest update of Jellybean for the TF300 is money. Smooth and rock stable.
So it's really up to you.
Thank you for your point of view.
Other people what do you think please ? I want to be sure before flashing my tab please.
I'm facing the same question. I will probably update once I figure out how

If you like ICS stay on ICS. I feel JB is lacking at this moment. Good things are in the works for JB but not yet. I need gps, otherwise I agree with cm10.

JB doesn't have GPS problems on my gs3, are there reported problems on the 300t?

Hey, Im talking about stock Jelly Bean not CM10 ....
If you upgrade, you may need to do a factory reset after the upgrade, but only if things start acting weird.

Factory reset doesn t boreing me; the main question is : is JB stable and smooth ? I heard ppl complaining so I'm a little scared to go on JB.
Fine for me - project butter should make it better. No flash in play store though
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Fine for me too. Much smoother. None of the little hangs from stock ICS.
Do you have backspace issues on JB ?
Mine tf300t came stock with JellyBean. Its very nice and i definitely recommend upgrading to it. After using everything from Froyo up, it is my version of choice for sure. A version of JB is in development for my phone and as soon as its out of the alpha stage, I will use it as my daily driver also.

Dear developers, I've decided to create a poll so people could vote.
I have been using Asus based Picasso rom, upgrading kernel from time to time. I'm still on 1.0.8 (Thor kernel) because IMHO its the best and most stable Tom around for my tablet.
I've tried xoom, galaxy, thrive and stock acer Rome but rolled back to this lovely Asus based one.
Moar = More
I chose "No" because in my opinion, Xoom is the best but I have not test the Thrive for the moment.
I'm still using the ROM mentioned above just because of browser sync, for example.

You do know you can inject the browser from your VP ROM into any other ROM before install correct?
I just went back to this rom after using xoom for a week, for me this is one Rom that I can live with whatever the issue is ( freezing when coming out of standby). M-Deejay said transformer will have its own Rom which is not under VP and it will be based on 3.2.
I actually loved the Asus based 1.0.8 and was torn between that and galaxy. I was rather annoyed when Asus base was dropped after 1.0.8. the Acer base 1.10 was very very quick and stable. When Asus based bombed out with unity v4 I just stuck with galaxy port. When Asus release 3.2 I am sure we will have another virtuous Picasso to play with. I did use Asus 1.0.8 with Thor beta 2 and yes it was electric. Still is and while awaiting galaxy update might use Asus base with Thor kernel again. Would be nice to see unity v9 for Asus base Picasso rom. Lol

I liked them for the fact you could use an asus based theme. Seeing as how themes are a bit lacking for our beloved acer, it's a nice option.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! Vote please, maybe some developers might pay some more attention to Asus based ROM.
Asus base was the first thing I flashed when I got my a500. Had a very good experience with it, before experimenting with other roms.

Is ASUS based rom fully compatible with ACER material ?
I want to change rom because I have problem when I put my tablet (still in 3.0) in sleep mode and come back.

I don't have the update.zip saved anywhere unfortunately, because I deleted the image after flashing. I've got it installed and running though, also made a backup to roll back if I don't like any new rom.

True. I'm also using Thor's kernel 1.1: epic combo IMHO.
I'm glad somebody decided to do a poll like this. I'm hoping to get an Iconia in the next month or so, but I would really like a Transformer port and I can't seem to find one here. I've played with the Thrive, XOOM, and Galaxy, but I really like the elements included in the Transformer more (widgets, ice cube, and office app to name a few). Hopefully when I can finally get my hands on one, an option will present itself.

you guys cant possibly think ics will be in revolver soon, ics is a whole different os which has different system files and behaves differently.
getting all the optimizations from 3.2 to 4.0 will take a while and that is if the tweaks work on ics.

Yeah I imagine it will take a while for us to see a revolver ICS ROM released. Honeycomb is still new to me as I got my TF101 for christmas and my nexus one still rocks gingerbread. To me, so far, honeycomb feels like what I think ICS will feel like. I guess I'll know for sure when I get my Galaxy Nexus next week...

Having both Honeycomb and ICS (with previous experience with Donut, Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread), I'd have to say that ICS has the best parts of all of them, a lot of the looks from Honeycomb, but with the feel that you wished Honeycomb would have had. Then shoot that full of steroids and add a slice of pie = ICS.
I'm hoping soon after ICS is released for the TF we will see a flasble stock Rom that will not remove root.then we can play with that while waiting for ICS on KRAKD
DESIRE HD using ER3BUS ASUS TRANSFORMER on KRAKD
I'm super excited for ICS, but i don't know the best method to go back to stock and keep root. I'm too antsy to wait until a custom rom is built, but i also don't want to forgeit the option of using TB to recover all my applications and game saves. What's everyone's thoughts on this?
You know that the TF is NOT going to get ICS on the 12th, the statement from Asus says the PRIME gets ICS. Asus has made no statement that I have found for a release date to the TF. IMHO it does not make good business since to relase it to the TF until the hype has gone away from the release of the PRIME and the update of ICS.

Honestly they're all almost the same.
Although I would put the latest (non-ics) in this order:

Overcome is working well but the kernel it comes with is not overclockable or undervoltable. Are all 3.2 kernels compatible? Which ones would people recommend and with what settings? I know I'm being lazy here but I do appreciate the help.

Ummm
Well the unethical way of update release by Samsung made us all confused.. If they would have released it like their prior updates all regions or more than one region then we might have upgraded our devices. But currently their is only one xxlpy Germany experimental release so I am not at all interested.
If you don't have a particular need to upgrade to ICS, then you should probably wait until it gets released locally, or you decide you have a need.
I personally won't be going back to GB, because I like the better external keyboard support (it recognises the CTRL and ALT keys) and also the USB midi support, both of which don't work in GB.
The UI tweaks and snappier response are good, but they're not going to let you don anything you can't do already.
If there's an app you want to use that is ICS only, then that might be a reason to upgrade too.
LPF (which I have found to be a lot better than LPY, in terms of UI speed and battery performance) is a wipe ROM though, so you need to spend a bit of time restoring everything.
If you wait for the OTA release, it might will hopefully not be a wipe ROM, which might make life easier for you.
HTH,

Hello,
Personally I've been on ICS for almost a month now and I love it, first midnote than Crisckelo (V2 and V3) but now I love the Kingdroid ROM the battery doesn't die and it looks even better with Apex launcher!!
I could not go back to gingerbread!! I haven't tried the stock ICS (LPY or LPF) but with their bloatware the battery would not suit me !!
I can confirm it reads arabic.perfectly. dunno abt japanese.....the rom is so far very stable nd better looking....pinkish display issue solved 90%.......sd card readng bug sometimes solved by unmountng then mountng.

I personally have gone back to GB (rocket ROM) which in terms of battery and responsiveness is better than any ICS ROM I tried. Also there are apps that don't run well on ICS. I guess in a few months time when all official ICS ota's had been released and the developers have had time to tweak them then ICS will be better.

As far as I know there hasn't been official confirmation by Acer to the public yet but yes, several "blogs" have claimed that Acer has confirmed to them that the A500 will get Jelly Bean eventually. Personally I don't see why it wouldn't unless they EOLed the A500 and even then it'd really be a burn for them not. Take it as a grain of salt until you see Acer throw something up on Facebook though....which they may or may not do since they've gotten crap every time they promised an update (and it came later than promised).
Acer South Africa replied to my email saying that the A500 will be getting Jelly Bean but they don't know when.

If JB is anything like ICS 4.0.3, then no thanks.
Best part about a500 receiving JB is possibility of XDA developers like Civato getting their hands on source code and tweaking it. If you haven't tried out his ICS Stryker ROM then flash it to see true potential of a500 hardware. I've been switching between that and CM10 JB ROM which is also very stable now. JB has serious potential especially once you include a kernel from ezterry or linuxsociety.
