just rooted my TF101 what Recovery / Rom does everyone recommend? - Eee Pad Transformer General

i just want the most stable recovery that lets me backup and restore reliably,
and a rom/kernel that is stable and supports all the features, thanks for suggestions.
version IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615 Android version 4.0.3
this is my first tablet but i've done alot on my phone, if there is any tablet knowledge that i wouldn't know from my phone i would also be grateful for those tips

My recommendation is TWRP 2.3.2.3 or 2.5.0.0 and KatKiss 4.2.2 build 226.

Very nice ROM

thanks guys having fun setting this baby up

I'm going to say KatKiss 4.3. I've had much better performance and stability with 4.3 even though it's less mature. People kept saying that 4.1 and 4.2 brought new life to their tablets, in my case it's 4.3. It's almost twice as fast as 4.2, I get no more random reboots or sleep of death. 4.3 is a definite improvement over 4.2 for me.

I agree. I was on KatKiss 2.2.6 for a while, and just recently bit the bullet and installed KatKiss 4.3/Build 17 -- Full functionality and huge increase in speed. I and still amazed at how quick and reliable this "work in progress" ROM that's only a little over a month old is.

If you have rooted your phone and played with ROMs you might as well go straight to 4.3 katkiss because let's face it if you go 4.2 you are going to go 4.3 within a few days because 4.3 is a bigger number then 4.2 so it must be better...
Quite frankly it really is much better, 4.3 is great very quick very stable and better battery life.
I can also over clock to 1.6ghz now which I never could on 4.2 don't know why but it is stable as hell.
Cheers

+1 for KatKiss 4.3
I'm using it for more than a week now and it's very stable and fast.

I'm in the same boat and have tried both Katkisses. I miss some of the options that are missing in the 4.3 version, but like everyone says you will probably just end up there anyway. If a PAC rom comes to the TFT then I will switch to that as I use it on my phone and love all the options.

There is a Domination (PA/CM/AOKP) hybrid with a plethora of tweaks. Runs very well but is only a 4.2.2

Unfortunately Domination is "dead" since it merged with the current PAC

I am aware. I was just pointing out there is a Domination ROM for TF101 that works quite well.

KatKiss has been a very good ROM for what the manufacturer considers an obsolete platform. Timduru, and those who worked on the platform previously, have managed to make a very stable ROM that is actually better then the manufacturers. Mind you, we're talking a couple revisions up from what the TF101 was released with but it currently runs better today then the day it was released. Sad that the manufacturers are abandoning these platforms so quickly but it is amazing to see what some of the developers have managed to do on their own.

I'm using Katkiss 4.3 build 21 by Timduru. has made my TF101 perform better than ever before. Feels like a new tablet, Highly recommended.

Jellybean slow as hell!

Is it just me or after a few hours of use does TAJB's Jellybean rom become incredible slow and sluggish? I know its still in early development but its only an incremental update from ICS which seems to be stable (for the most part) but sometimes its just goes crazy on JellyBean despite the Project Butter enahncement. Im starting to think that these new versions of Android are startin to push the boundaries for our tired old Galaxy S1's :S
The hardware of the SGS1 is old and outdated its just something we have to come to terms with. After using other phones with official ICS I understand why the SGS hasn't been supported, so I'm guessing its much the same with JB..
I am using the cm10 unofficial its smooth as hell

Yeah ive been using that too, its only slightly more responsive but still get the same problems. especially if i try to use google voice, the thing just goes berzerk.
I'm yet on unofficial CM10 v2 and it's very smooth, I fell diffrence than ics.

It's the launcher, most likely. I ran into that problem as well.
I'm on iall5tar's GNex ROM 4.1.1 Port and it's smoother than ICS, which was already fairly impressive.
Our i9000's are old, but each software upgrade is just that—an upgrade. JB is better than ICS, and ICS was better than GB. We didn't get the official update because Samsung thought their Touchwiz skinned ICS wouldn't run on our hardware. In reality, it was likely because they didn't want to spend money updating a device they no longer sold. Not because our phones couldn't actually run it.
My phone has no been faster than it is now, with JB. Blame the ROM, not the OS or the hardware.
After coming from slim ics 4.2 I also noticed slowdowns almost everywhere such as app opening, entering settings etc. On the other hand I felt the same with early and not so early ics roms like icssgs, and always went to gb roms after day or two because of slowdowns, lack of toggles etc.
Then I tried slim ics 3.x and never looked back. Same will probably happen with jb, first builds are ummature but when devs look deeper into sources and find differences and optimization for sgs, the phone will be beast
I just hope there will be other option for handling the limited space in internal flash memory than removing datadata altogether, as jb seems to improve touch and animation smoothness there is little Google can do to improve I/O performance.

JB is not the end!
Hey Guys
I am using JB at the Moment, too (TAJB v6). I tested every JB ROM for our SGS from start, and in my opinion, the GNex ports were the fastest and also very stable, but unfortunately, the people want to move forward to CM10! Anyway, JB is definetly not too much for the SGS! Everything feels fast and smooth, exept of the randomly occuring super-launcher-lags. If this happens, just kill the Launcher Task or reboot. I think JB is not the last update for our SGS!
The clue in most cases lies in the term Alpha! You flash Alpha roms you are in effect becoming a tester, so don't grumble....work towards finding solutions and posting relevant feedback and bug reports

this slowness is because v6 is based on pawitp's CM10 build which has datadata deleted and used instead of it slower data/data.

[jRO03C] OFICIAL ANDROID 4.1.1 (JELLY BEAN) GNEX STOCK ROM (16/07/12)
I'm on [jRO03C] OFICIAL ANDROID 4.1.1 (JELLY BEAN) GNEX STOCK ROM (16/07/12) since yesterday and it is still smooth as babyskin. No slowing down trouble.
Only issue is my BLN does not work anymore, probably because of one little setting
Fixed the BLN issue,I had to RTFM Enable pulsating notification light.
Found one other issue, volume during phone call is loud and cannot be changed.

For those with lots of lag I recommend flashing again. I was on CM10 Alpha and it was super slow. Couldn't believe people were saying it was fast. Flashed Slim Beans which was also slow. Figured either people are crazy or it's me. Even read something about older phones having slower memory than newer ones etc.
Flashed Slim Beans a second time and this time there is no comparison. Now it is much faster. In fact it is almost like having a different phone.
I'm on [ROM GNEXUS PORT] jro03c 4.1.1 beta 4 [oficial jelly bean stock rom] and at first it's sluggish as hell...after a while it does begin to work a little bit smoother....but then again, it's nothing compared to other ICS 4.0.3-4.0.4 custom roms out there....it still needs a lot of work.
It has nothing to do with datadata and everything to do with the fact that project butter hasn't even been implemented yet. For example I use slim and it is super fast, it has no datadata.
Also we need a driver update and until we get that no butter for us.
Plus its an alpha build. Give it a break.

vSync is not working yet. Also all JB releases are currently signed "Alpha" or "Beta", so what do you expect? They are not (yet) made for being used as a daily driver. Thanks to the devs, the development will continue
BTW: I also tried all current JB ROMs but they are still too unstable for me. It's nice to see that the i9000 can run them but actually they are not that stable yet.
yea it`s slow
i`m using JR003C it seems so slow and the network signal is down sometimes..:confused
There is a fix for the slow V6 on teamjellybean.noez.in but this is down for now... Wait for V7 and it will be smooth i think.

So... Is there a single completely usable ROM out there?

I've flashed almost 10 different ROMS now ever since the Asus ICS update and I'm still getting issues with SOD, RR, rapid battery drain, and/or wifi crashing after deep sleep. I just want my TF101 back. I don't care about Google Now... I just want a usable tablet!!!
You are flashing roms to rid yerself of an issue caused by a kernel?......If the rom You flash doesnt have a custom kernel you won't be solving any kernel issues....
In Short, flash a different kernel.....
Stock has been great for the 3 transformers in our family..
Go back to GB and spend a week on it and see if it does the same.. If so. Then you really have problems

those trouble had been solve with a lot thread in this box...
SOD and RR only got in HC when update to ICS its been solve, no more.
Rapid battery gain when you turn on wifi and watch video with high bright
wifi crash will be off after deep sleep only got in some ROM not alot, and they had been solve them. If you used any rom u must follow other posts.
I didnt got any issue like that becos i update kernel usually and I follow someone instruction.
recently I used EnergyROM and its make me happiest so maybe no more change ROM... I used 20 or over and I did got those issues like u when i keep update ROM and Kernal...
PS used ES Task Manager when u done any work and click on its widget to clear memory its make RR rate lower

Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 is the most stable rom for me. Don't know if you can still get such an old version, though.
I have tried EOS and 3 variations of CM10 (Raymans unofficial stable, Paranoid, LiquidSmooth). I like them all but EOS + KAT 47B gives me no issues to complain about (right now on 79 anyway). The others - last time I tried them - seem to have poorer wifi reception (and I don't mean just a matter of "bars"), occasionally lose wifi after re-awakening, and sketchy-to-non-existent GPS.
Truthfully, the EOS build works well enough for me that I could really care less if ASUS does an official JB upgrade at this point. Smooth, as robust as stock ICS when I left, stock browser working fantastic. I am on build 79 right now, probably upgrade to newer version if/when 4.2 features added.
I was set on getting myself a new tablet for Christmas, but after flashing EOS JB I have no more desire to upgrade to a newer tablet. It does everything I want it to, significantly better than when I bought it.

Great, I'll check out Team EOS' rom and cross my fingers!
holy ****, that did it! EOS and KAT are rock solid!
there are many roms with cool features and stuff but in terms of stability i find stock asus rom the most stable.
If you want the tablet to just work, stick with stock based ICS ROM. That means.... the Energy ROM, ARHD or Revolver.
on your advice

[Q] most reliable and fastest ics rom for tf101

I'm a bit late to the custom rom game for my tf101 but so far, it seems that after trying cm10, my data and apps are much happier with ICS than JB...which is fine with me since stock .27 has been very, very good to me...stable, reliable and good battery life. The problem is that it's very slow.
I'm currently using ENERGY ICS, but it, like most ICS roms, are going the way of the dodo...it's all about the jelly bean.
The ENERGY rom is working just fine for me so far and No Frills is letting me overclock.
Is anybody still working on ICS?
In my opinion the only super reliable ROMs would be the stock, OEM ROMs such as the one I released. Any other CM9 or CM10 based ROM is a community built ROM and will have its bugs and quirks. If you want solid, day to day reliability and all your ports to work, then stick with ICS. I don't see what you gain with JB anyway, the look virtually the same and the code really hasn't changed much.
Team EOS 3 JB Nightlys & KAT Kernel
100% solid, stable and very fast
I would recommend Revolver 4.x + Guevor's 22.6 kernel. I'm on version 4.1.1 for months now. It's stable, reliable - no SOD or RR at all. Oc'ed kernel to 1.4 GHzso it's smooth and fast.
However I've tried CM10 (RaymanFX) as well. It was even faster and smoother BUT I was suffering from poor Wifi and frequent loss of sound, that's why I decided to go back to Revolver ICS. But I definately will flash JB again, once the issues are solved.

.27 has been very stable for me so that's why I chose the Energy ics rom. I want faster while keeping the reliability. My concern was that since it's not being actively supported very much that it wasn't a finished product.
So far, it's working perfectly for me. I'll put it through the paces over the next few days to torture test it.

I'll keep those in mind if my TF starts getting *****y with me. So far, it's night and day better than stock...faster, smoother and just better all around.
My browser actually loads pages without any problems. I don't have the need to flash for the sake of flashing or even comparing it with the Note 2. The only thing that matters is if what it does is fast/good enough for me.
I tried lots... CM10, Team EOS, Revolver... and they all had major issues making them unusable... plus I like the Asus built-in apps.
Stock (rooted) is the only way to go for me as other ROMs are simply too sluggish. I wish I had time to learn and contribute

I'm not a chronic updater so I mostly look for stability and overall efficiency...not necessarily the newest and fastest...at the expense of stability. Stock ICS .27 has been rock solid for me...no random restarts, good battery life and worked with my apps...(but I don't use a lot of apps).
On the other hand, I do appreciate those who torture test every android iteration so the rest of us can experience vicariously what others are actually doing.

Hey guys, as you all can see I am "VERY" New here. I have been on this thread for 2 years now, and just now decided to make a Account.
Anyways away from me, and more to my TF101.
I am searching the Development Section of this Forum for the TF101, and can't find a Solid Rom for my TF101.
Any suggestions? I am currently on "Caliber 4" and It likes to Lag out of no where, and I experience slower performance over all.
So how about you guys Help a Comrade out?
Also if you could, could you list some "Possible" Bugs with the Rom? Thanks.

Just install flash player. I am using Firefox beta with flash player and everything is working good.
Currently flopping between Mattmanwrx's Paranoid Android and Energy Rom by NRGZ28.....
Have to say im pleasantly surprised by Energy (i.c.s).....i was expecting it to be laggy compared to Jellybean but its not (apart from coming out the app drawer.....slightly)
Looks mint, performs amazingly - a well rounded experience!
Nice to be back on official based Asus for a change - and i feel that apart from ARHD, its going to be well supported unlike the other i.c.s roms.
As for stability and performance on Jellybean then i have to agree EOS is your best bet.....i just like how PA worked for me and the developer is really helpful.
Tough call....just try them all out :angel:

I'm using Revolver 4 by Gnufabio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518768) and it runs very smooth and with a bit overclocking even smoother (1.5 ghz). I haven't recognized any bugs in two weeks now. It is based on ICS from ASUS but it's much better in performance compared to the stock rom. No reboots, no FCs just TF101 performing nice. I had problems watching 720p videos but now it's lagfree (using MXPlayer). The battery life is almost the same as with the stock ASUS rom. Give it a try, it is perfect for me, even without jellybean.

Recommendations for a fast, stable Rom?

My Asus Transformer seems very slow. It lags up all the time, I often lose responsiveness to programs, ect. Right now, I basically just use the tablet+keyboard to type notes during class, but I'd prefer it if it was a little faster.
Anyone know of a good, stable, relatively bug free ROM that would boost performance?
Android 4.0, I recommend Megatron. I ran that until 4.1 came out.
Android 4.1, I recommend TeamEOS 3 build 81 or MattmanWRX CM10 Paranoid Android hybrid.
Android 4.2, I recommend TeamEOS 4 build 91
I really like cm 10 gierdo's nightly (JB 4.1) with the kat kernel. There's a link around here somewhere for a great, easily flashable, TWRP tablet recovery.
The EOS 4.2 works great, but the tablet UI in 4.1 is so much better. I think google has unofficially "fragmented" these last two jelly bean releases, 4.1 is amazing on tablet, 4.2 is amazing on phone.

But I'd since move on to Team EOS JB 4.2 with Timburu latest B136 released and it's even smoother and faster. Very stable and reliable too. 4.2 is definitely way better than 4.1 on my TF101.. You'll see the different..

My Asus Transformer seems very slow. It lags up all the time, I often lose responsiveness to programs, ect. Right now, I basically just use the tablet+keyboard to type notes during class, but I'd prefer it if it was a little faster.
Anyone know of a good, stable, relatively bug free ROM that would boost performance?

I recommend Android Revolution HD 3.6. Look and feel of stock ROM with good performance and stability.

RaymanFX's CM10.1 (JB 4.2.1) with Elite Kernel V2 built in OCs to 1.6Ghz, very stable fast.

EOS 4 with Kat kernel. Stable builds with all the updates come out about every 4 or 5 days. Preview releases come out almost daily.
It's the only JB 4.2.1 ROM/Kernel combo I've tried that is almost 100% perfect.

+1 for EOS4 and Kat kernel. Fantastic performance.

I really like cm 10 gierdo's nightly (JB 4.1) with the kat kernel. There's a link around here somewhere for a great, easily flashable, TWRP tablet recovery.
The EOS 4.2 works great, but the tablet UI in 4.1 is so much better. I think google has unofficially "fragmented" these last two jelly bean releases, 4.1 is amazing on tablet, 4.2 is amazing on phone.

With all the awesome development of ROMs that is going on in here, i still recommend Revolver or ARHD.
I;ve tried all of the JB ROMs, and still the "stock-like" ICS ROMs are the most stable and imo have the best battery life.

CM10 sirkorro's build
I have tried quite a number of ROMS, most recently using EOS4 trying many updates. I always had different issues, most recently laging badly. Finally gave up and moved to korro's build of CM10. I really like it. Also using the recommended KAT.
My TF101 has never been happier.
Smooth, fast and just works. So far (4days now).

If you stick to the "nightly" builds of EOS4 (which actually get released about once a week now) instead of the previews, and use a proven version of the KAT Kernel (85 had issues including lag, but is fixed in 92), EOS4 runs perfectly. Even most of the previews are great, but they come untested and can have issues.

I only started messing with my tf101 recently, and the first rom I used was RaymanFX's cm10, which was great and stable. Later switched to EOS4 latest preview, just for the fun of flashing, and it turned out to be stable, too. Never had any serious issue.
IMO, the latest EOS4 build with the latest KAT kernel is better than anything ASUS ever released, and I had no issues with most of the ASUS stock releases.

I also flashed EOS4 a week ago but I had some issues.
1. Lag when opening recent apps
2. Very big lag when outputting to a TV screen using HDMI
3. Overclocked at 1,6 Ghz I obtained only 2300 benchmark points using Quadrant and 6300 using Antutu
Do you have the same issues?
I am curious what score you have.

1) I only had this issue running KAT kernel version 85. Every other kernel/combo has worked fine for me.
2) Never tried, so I don't know.
3) My Antutu scores are much higher. I can get over 6300 running at 1.2GHz. At 1.6GHz which I normally don't do, I've gotten around 8000. I haven't run Quadrant in a long time, but I know it was much higher than 2300.
