[Asus Transformer TF700] dstorfer:
Simpler Instructions...I was needlessly frightened

At the end - there is a TL;DR; with my simpler instructions for installing on a stock TF700 for a noob.

First - thanks so much for everyone who made this ROM. You are wizards. I haven't used it much yet, but I have hopes it will save me from the dreaded lag. EDIT: It has. Amazon video and YouTube now run with no skips. I didn't think it possible. How can a company sell something like this when there are people out here solving problems for free. You guys should work for Asus, or get paid to clean their crap up.

The OP really lost me after "FLASHING THE ROM FROM RECOVERY" Step #1. I saw all that stuff about ROM2SD/DATA2SD and GPartEd and wasn't even sure where to start with that - it was so daunting and confusing. And after tons of reading and wondering and pondering I decided/hoped that I might not even need it - and so far I think I was right.

I had a stock TF700 with the Asus JellyBean installed. I was not upgrading from another ROM, or updating this ROM. Also, this is my second time ever doing a ROM load (I did an AT&T MB865 PocketPC phone back in 2006 or so, and that was windows-click simple), so not a single one of these tools was familiar, nor are there really ways to truly get familiar with them other than doing this.

I read on another forum that F2FS was almost a certain requirement to improve the lag issues that we TF700 owners hate so much, but these instructions did not include anything about that, or even a suggestion to use it. So then I was looking at installing a specific version of TWRP for F2FS, but after looking at that for awhile, I realized it was quite old and might not work with this ROM. It took me awhile to look up in various forum posts to find out how to change the /data partition using the most recent 2.8 TWRP tool. It was not obvious where to find that feature otherwise, nor did I know that it existed in all versions of the TWRP tool.

Then I was concerned after reading about F2FS where I was going to get the proper kernel after installing - if I didn't have the right one, then it wouldn't support F2FS and wouldn't load. There were plenty of posts about people not having the right kernel even in this thread. I didn't see any suggestions or place where I could download the proper kernel.

Finally, I didn't know how I was going to install 2 ROMs - seemed like I could only pick one ZIP file to flash. It wasn't until after I got into it that I found that I could do multiples. All of these things may be obvious to those of you who are ROM pros, but for a first timer, this was daunting - just seemed like a certain recipe for a brick. But really - it wasn't that bad at all, just not clear that it wasn't that bad.

TL;DR; -- FLASHING THE ROM FROM RECOVERY

Steps

First - I chose the TWRP tool, it was far newer compared to the other option - install that as noted on the Original post.

1. Download the ROM below and save to your internal or external SD Card. I chose an SD Card and put it into my Asus Keyboard Dock. Do not unzip the file.

2. Boot to "recovery" using the Power-Volume Down trick. With RCK flashing, start it by pressing Volume Up.

3. Inside TWRP - do a backup, keep everything checked as is. You want to do this in case things go bad.

4. Then do a factory wipe in here - choose 'Wipe' in TWRP, all you have to do is swipe the button - 'Factory Wipe' is the default selection under the 'Wipe' menu.

5. Next, format your /data partition to use F2FS. I think it's like this: Wipe > Advanced, select just /data, hit "erase/change" button, select F2FS, and format.

6. Finally - install the ROM and the Patch. I used an SD card in my keyboard dock. Go into Install, choose your storage location, add the first rom, then add the patch rom. Then install.

7. Everything after this was fairly simple - I chose the "recommended sbdags" install options - I think the second one, which supported F2FS kernel (and this is where the kernel is chosen - who knew?).

This link gave me some more confidence but even this one wasn't really exactly what I needed, so I had to take a few chances.
