How about some CM loving for the Transformer i would build it myself if i had any coding skills but i dont..
I have used CM on more or less every other android unit i have owned including my prvious Tab the Folio 100 where it totaly saved the buy. Its stable fast and clean and i love the Trebuchet launcher.
Check the dev forum, there's an unofficial CM9 that you can flash now. It's not without the odd bug (like all ICS stuff atm) but apparently very useable:

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'm an incoming newbie to the android tablet scene and am planning to purchase a Nexus 10 soon. I was just wondering which is currently the fastest (app opening, loading times, etc.) and smoothest (transitions, scrolling, etc.) ROM/Kernel Combo out there for the N10? I know that trying out as many as I can would probably be a better approach but any opinion or suggestion on the matter would be highly appreciated, especially by a total newbie like myself. Thanks.
Most people say a "PUB" version of Android Open Kang Project is the smoothest, and I am inclined to agree since I have yet to see anything better in performance.

I use this combo as well, or will once I get my Nexus back from Samsung.
I also use AOKP pub and KTmanta

Thanks guys. I've been trying to decide between AOKP PUB and EOS for days now, with Paranoid Android, Task 650, and Rasbeanjelly under consideration. It seems like most people gravitate toward PUB so far. Just to verify, does PUB and EOS have the pie navigation thingy from PA? Tried to search through changelogs and features but got quickly overwhelmed (newbie) and wasn't really sure what terms to look for. Thanks
Dont know about EOS but AOKP PUB does not.
PA gets too low of FPS and has terrible input lag so I can never consider running it anymore. Task's AOKP is not as fast as Mr.Robinsons PUB version. Rasbean is nice but you have to get Morfic's PUB compile of it if you want the smoothest experience. (seeing a theme here yet?)
If you really want pie you can download LMTlauncher(google it its not in the play store) and you can have it in any rom
Thanks a lot for the very helpful replies guys. I guess I'll drop the three other ROMs under consideration and focus on PUB and EOS. Would really like to hear from people who've had experiences with both.
Same as here plus do NOT make multiple threads one is more than enough.
Ordered a nexus 10 32gb on ebay and trynna see which rom people are having best battery life/performance....

Stock, because all the ROMs I've tried have been buggy and don't offer a great deal of additional functionality. I do have high hopes for PA though, once thier multi-window is finished. I have rooted the tablet though, mainly for the aosp browser.
I haven't had any real bugs with CM and PA, but AOKP has some weird theming bugs with settings not taking.
I use Pacman, which has CM, PA, and AOKP... All in one package.
KTManta kernel is hands-down my favorite kernel, as well.
PA was put on my Nexus straight away since I detest the phablet look, but now they're adding other things such as halo which is great. Plus PA makes mes want a Nexus 4 to get the most out of it on my phone too.

PA is nice and a great ROM, but if you need performance, sadly, it sucks. I haven't tried the latest build with halo, but on 3.15 the performance is really bad on games.
I use PA for the Hybrid engine. It is truly brilliant. I get very few errors in terms of performance and the tablet crashes occasionally but it's worth it--especially for Halo alone. Hopefully they will start to develop the Halo functionality in regards to tablets having multi-window rather than stacked Halo processes.

Mmuzzy's rom. Close to stock, rooted, with a couple little tweaks. Check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071082
Rasbeanjelly + franco.Kernel
Not a ton of customization, lightweight, fast and optimized. And can use the same combination across all my devices (N4, N7, and N10).
I never used PA, but have heard quite a few reports of it being somewhat on the worse-side for performance.
Carbon ROM, felt the smoothest for me and had all the customizations I needed. A second for me would be Sentinel ROM. I guess it depends on what your main preference is. If its AOSP (stock), PA, cyanogen, or AOKP. They all offer something different. The best way is try a ROM and see if you are comfortable with the usage of that ROM. Also Kernel can also help play a role in your ROM choice.
I use the last RasSaber build, dont know where it is available anymore though. It gives me enough of the customization that I want, a nice built in theme, and very smooth performance with great battery life. For kernel I use the KTManta kernel because it offers the best battery life through undervolting and also gives me the best performance. Lots of fun options with it if your into that sort of thing.
Can you please share the rom if you have the package ? I dont find it neighter

I like EOS ROM + Trinity kernel for outstanding performance and just the right amount of features I need.
But rasbeanjelly, RasSaber, Sabermod, and Sentinel are all top notch in my book.

And by PA you guys are reffering to Paranandroid right?
So would you recommend sticking to rooted stock rom? Is that stablet enough for Battery/Gaming/OverallPerformance
You can if you want to, but you can get more performance on custom stuff. Or less performance but a LOT more features if you choose ParanoidAndroid.

Except for the sound settings being broken, PACman has plenty of features.

Someone should do a performance check on PAC ROM. If it has all these features from different ROMs, including P.A. then it *should* also have similar performance right? Would be pretty weird if another dev who ported Paranoid Android features got it working way better when mixed with even more things on top.

Not sure if this was directed to me from my post right before this. Ill assume it was since it was about a ROM that wasnt available anymore. Anyway, Seems it is everyone's lucky day because we now have a new build of RasSaber avalable so people can download it again

What should I check it with? I'm up for it

I prefer AOKP PUB builds.
Hi guys, I am currently on AOSPA 3.60 ROM and think its a great ROM love the per app control I have and it seems to run very very smooth, I notice little to no bugs.
However I like the all in one style idea that would give me an extra level of customisation by being able to use AOKP and CM tweaks.
But is there any disadvantage of basically having 3 ROM's in one? does this cause issues with overlapping settings? are there more bugs? do things run slower?
Basically tossing up whether I want to stick with PA which is rock solid for me or go to an all in one ROM for those extra settings and tweaks?
Cheers
Chris
I have never had great luck with the roms that combine too many features because they seem to start to lag after just a couple days and some of the settings menus don't work exactly right. You should definitely check it out to formulate your own opinion though.

I've found the best stability in roms that pick a flavor and stick with it, while most do incorporate *some* features from popular roms, the unstable ones tend to be the ones that try to incorporate everything but the kitchen sink.
For example, SlimBean is based off AOSP (android open source project), but does incorporate some things like the kernel from cyanogenmod on certain devices.
the more crap, the more bugs(and chances for bugs).
Thank you guys, I guess I might have to give one a try and if there are to many bugs then revert back to PA
Might be irrelevant or just plain unlucky for me, but with PAC, Revolt, Xylon, etc I've had worse battery than say AOKP or Dirty Unicorns. So maybe battery what with all the extra things having to run and going on would be affected
Speed, meh. All feels the same to me
Bugs, definitely more in the all-in-one's
Stability, depends...
