Is this close enough to the prime roms and stuff will work. Or is it going to get its on Sub Forum at some point?
I would also like to know the same. Gotta ditch the stock bs.

Ditto. One of my concerns for getting this tablet was if there would be developer support. I imagine though, that porting things from the prime shouldn't be too hard, although I also know how much work it could be + the processor is technically different. I can't wait either way!!!!
asus does a good job with their upgrades. what advantages do you all see with custom rom's on a device with such good support?
I guess what I'm looking for is root + custom kernels. This is my first tablet and first asus product so I'm no expert in this field haha.

custom roms are usually always better because they bring features and tweaks not found in stock experience. alot of times they can also be more stable than stock. just go to developement section and look at some of the roms feature lists. it can completely change and improve your experience with the device.

Whats different about it? I know they are both tegra 3 and i believe both are cortex A9.

the prime is T30 tegra3 & the 300 is T30L version. the prime version is clocked higher/more powerful.
later model primes have T30.. The first model primes has the AP30H tegra 3 in it. it does get confusing...lol

I read somewhere that its a different version of the tegra 3 processor. Not major, but like a different model. I don't have a source atm though. So until then take with a grain of salt.

I am literally sitting spamming F5 looking for this info
I'd be content for at least a little while if I could just get mine rooted.
I would love Root as well. Considering that the 300 hasn't even been out a week officially (got mine yesterday), I think we'll see some good news in due time.

While is doesn't have anything to do directly with the Photon, It's Tegra related, so I thought I'd share it incase anyone else was interested. I found it pretty cool. And hopefully Motorola will release a Photon 2 with this included. (Not likely, but I can hope)
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2393257,00.asp#fbid=a9hw41xhxrx
Tegra 3 is going to kick ass for sure! And while the additional 5th core is something to look forward to, did you know that the Tegra 2 also has a separate ARM7 processor that does what Tegra 3's 5th core does?
Awesome right?

Yeah, the other core pretty much handles all the little crap, like the phone dialer. Anything more power intensive kicks in the big boys.
Most smart phones dating back to the Hero at least had a slow second core to handle the modem, so it wasn't hogging CPU time from the OS and Apps.
Who wants Kal-el when you can get Nvidia Wolverine!?! That wont be for a while tho :/

Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to write... Just need to motivate someone Or maybe bug nvidia for one.
I admit, it does tempt me to learn how widgets are done (I already know apps and a few things on how to search for the cpu data), and make something just to see how many people would actually download it for being the first lol.
If someone will be kind enough to gather the docs on making widget and get me the links, I'll consider trying to make something with free/donate versions, and make code available if it works.

So very true..
Not comlpetley on the topic but close enough, I have a system panel app that does show 4 cores actively but the strange thing is the companion core is nowhere to be seen.
Core zero always seems to be online at about 150-400 MHz but it's not the companion core because it spikes up to 1.2 Ghz when you close or open something... pretty weird.

For the system there is no 5th core. The switching between the companion core and the quadcores is a low level work. The CC and the Core 0 are the "same" for android.
Im looking for a good tablet, but i dont know who i should pick.
I want it to have good specs and run ICS.
Would also be good if it has a good developer community, easily rootable and may roms and mods to back it up.

Thanks in advance!

Google nexus tablet coming out in a month or two... is a good option if youre willing to wait.
motorola xoom has everything your looking for!
Acer Iconia =)
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1. I´m deeply contended.
The only thing that sucks is the update policy of samsung. I´m waiting for the update to 4.0 for month.
So, if you chose a Samsung tab, take the newer generation wich has 4.0 as stock.
Galaxy Tab
I have a Galaxy Tab 8,9 and love it!
It will get ICS soon.
I think this is the best platform to develop because the screen has a middle size for a tablet (>7" and <10"), so you can have a good idea of how your apps will be rendered on various screen sizes.
I would wait and see what Google has in store for the upcoming Nexus tablet.

There isn't one right now. In my opinion, ASUS makes the best but I've yet to see an Android tablet that doesn't have lag. I'm not an Apple fan but I can clearly see that iPad leads the way in the tablet market. I love Android, but there has yet to be a tablet produced that matches the iPad as far as performance/usability goes.
Having said that, I'm super excited for the Nexus tab. If it is everything it's being cracked up to be, it'll be the first Android tablet worth buying.
BTW...I have a Xoom, Transformer TF101, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and 2 Kindle Fire's...I'm not just blowing off steam here.

For 7", Google Nexus (made by Asus) and Acer A110 are supposed to be real good. I would pick the Nexus.
For 10", we will have Toshiba (geez, I forgot the model# ), the Asus Pad, the Sammy Galaxy Tab 2.
galaxy tab 10.1
or acer iconia tab
tested both and theyre really awesome
I love the Galaxy Tab 2. It just depends on what you want to do with it.

U can chk my thread to know abt the Sony Nexus Tablet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712105
I'd wait for the Nexus or to get a tablet that has reliable custom ICS rom. Just to avoid having to wait on a vendor to provide you with updates.
Acer iconia a series. I have the a500. Many roms to chose from. Flexreaper rocks.
Howevere if your willing to wait the google nexus (asus nexus) is soon to be released and it promises to be a very affordable powerhouse.

I find it funny that before ICS came out everyone was "Ohh, I can't wait, it's going to be so great, Yea Yea Yea"
I had no problem with Honeycomb and rather enjoyed it to be honest.
Now it's the same thing with JB
I've dug every Android version from 2.1 to now. Each has their problems and strengths. I do enjoy getting the latest versions and ICS is starting getting old to me so any update will do. I don't think JB is going to be much of a difference in appearance but hope the performance is better that ICS. I can live with ICS if Asus never gives the Prime JB though.
I really would like to see a complete jump to Android 5.0 not these incremental baby steps.
Just my observations and opinion.

Well since they announced JB like 3 weeks ago, its a well known fact about the appearance and performance changes. I'm not sure what you're trying to predict since everyone has seen it and a lot are running it already. I have JB on my galaxy nexus and it feels like a new phone to be honest. Its a little ridiculous to expect a completely revamped version of the OS every year
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
What do you guys think?
It seems we will receive 4.2 early next year, but what about 5.0? It probably will be out in summer, so its near the end of the 18 month update plan.
Guesses?
i don't think . they will probably say they are " working on it " than cancel it and say it wont release it because it doesn't have enough ram .
^ 5.0 will probably add a bunch of new features but I'll bet the main aim for El Goog will be to optimise it so it runs on more devices. The biggest con on Android from other smartphone users is "fragmentation" I reckon Google will do their best to sort this.

It'll probably be on the SGS IV then.
Lets watch how 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2 goes, 5 shall probably follow the same rollout schedule.
As for telco's rolling it out, expect the same slowness 3month+ delay for bloatware, testing, reports, approval etc. Probably a 2014 release unless it comes pre installed or DIY if you want it early
Think ill just go for the SGS IV
I would say, Yes.. unless there's a new hexa-core processor for smartphone in the coming future, then will slightly doubt S# will be getting 5.0
For now with quad-core and 1GB RAM (or some cases 2GB RAM) are enough spec for smartphone..
Maybe, in year 2046..

They are the best processors though, and if you want a proper a15, the exynos 5 is the only way to get there. It's also worth keeping in mind that the Exynos 5 is also much more open source friendly now that it is used in the nexus 10(that could however change if Samsung decides to go for the big.little architecture change).
Just because Exynos deosnt have proper documentation doesnt mean its not the best mobile processor on the planet. It is.
