[Asus Transformer TF700] NightRogue:
Hopefully this is it!

Well I gotta tell you my journey with this POS tablet has been long and ardous....

Imagine my horror when I paid $300 for the top line tablet plus another $100 for the keyboard dock, putting my faith into ASUS, the company that has served me so well for all of my massive computer rig builds, and then after the JB update my tablet basically turned into a giant pile of stuttering mess. And then my wife is sitting next to me on her Ipad which I hate and it's running smooth as butter lol. Well that was what like 3 years ago?

I've had a TON of issues getting this thing usable and I am pretty sure I made some mistakes while trying to find a ROM that would make it usable. Pretty sure I wiped data from the bootloader a couple times and managed to recover from a few soft AND hard bricks while learning to use ADB and FASTBOOT. Definitely been a learning experience. Much more difficult an experience than flashing my HTC one m8.

Anyways I've tried CROMI-X and a few others. CROMI seemed to be the fastest and smoothest but then one day it gave me that UIC error and then got stuck on the loading circle permanently again. So I've settled here. I've seen some posts about people having problems so I wanted to post my experiences and ask a couple questions:

Before flashing I did a full wipe including formatting internal. This install is COMPLETELY clean. Didn't even use TiBu to restore apps. I'm on a F2FS/Data2sd install using _that kernel maxed out on O/C. Using performance govenor and ROW scheduler. Using FAUX to diable entropy, as well as a few other minor tweaks. Using 1600x1100 resolution. I'm on the .10 bootloader.

1) Been on battery power for an hour and haven't lost a single percent of battery while in the dock. I can't find a widget that will show the dual battery levels so does the battery level indicator just combine the two? Anyways the other posts I've seen about battery loss in 6 hours isn't applying to me. (this isn't my first time on battery of course it's just my first time measuring it)

2) Using Apex launcher. There is some "lag" when moving around but its consistent and "nearly" smooth. The difference between stock and this is that after more than an hour use it doesn't continue to bog down it stays the same which is ok by me.

3) On Westwood TCP congestion prot. Web browsing is surprisingly fast and easily 500x smoother/faster than stock. very impressive. Even after multiple tabs opened it doesn't bog down which is of course way better than stock experience.

4) Apps open slowly but consistently. Can have many more apps open without the tablet freezing up as when on stock.

5) some lag on screen touching but it's not terrible. and like everything else it's consistent and doesn't get worse with extended use.

My main question is: Is this the way it should be? I am definitely not complaining I just want to make sure that I have everything correct. Is there another launcher that runs like butter or do the limitations of this tablet prevent it from being super smooth especially on lollipop? As long as this is as good as it gets then I am certainly happy.

So to anyone reading this too long post I can say that if you follow the instructions given and utterly and completely destroy your tablet and start from FRESH I can tell you that you will have a good experience with this ROM and you can happy with your purchase again :). Fact is I can pretty much say that this is probably as good as it gets with this tablet and it's limitations so take the time and do the install right and you will be pleased!

EDIT: forgot to add my main question: I'm having the same problem I had wwith Beta 8.. The stock email app won't work; it's says my password is incorrect when I set it up and then FC w/ toast message and then gives me the "unfortunately blah blah" twice and won't open anymore after that. This happens on any ROM I try to use other than Cromi-X. Is this just normal? I've done plenty of searching and seen people with similar issues but nobody has really answered the issue...
