Just got this update and was wondering if anyone else had or had noticed any changes?

Just checked; my tablet did not find an update.
I hope the update makes Chrome & the default browser less laggy. Please let us know.
unlocked and flashed CleanROM Inheritance.
Best decision I made since I bought this baby. The difference is just un**** believable!

berndlb,
do you use a keyboard dock with your Transformer? i just want to make sure the dock works without any problems with that ROM.
thank you!
Fabulous post, berndlb! Thank you for the insight.
The only thing holding me back is the idea that ASUS may make significant improvements in their release of JB 4.2. So, I'm wondering if I ought to wait, give ASUS a chance to fix this; then, root if ASUS screws up again.

Has Asus even announced that they'll push JB 4.2?
If they do, I hope they'll do split screen like the Galaxy Note 2 which runs 4.2.
Fabulous post, berndlb! Thank you for the insight.
I hear you TBolt. But at this point I am glad that I cannot receive OTA updates from Asus anymore. I don't want them to screw up my beautiful tablet!
If you have an hour to kill check out the Nexus 7 forum and read about their experience with the 4.2 update. Not very encouraging.
I rather wait until the devs get their hands on 4.2 and clean it up just as they did with 4.1 and every other release of Android. sbdags already seems to be monkeying around with the 4.2 for Nexus 10, trying to port it to our tablet. So that is just a matter of time....
In the meantime I am so happy with what I got here, that I was reluctant to even flash the latest version of CleanROM. Did it anyway and now I'm even happier!
But I definitely don't want to talk you into anything. Your strategy is good. Wait for the release of 4.2 and make the decision then.
That gives you plenty of time to read up on the how-to of flashing a new rom, which btw is different from rooting your device. Root is better than non-root because you can install apps that will improve the tablet's performance (like Browser2Ram), but you're still on the stock rom.

berndlb,
before you rooted, did you ever notice the line that momentarily flashes across the screen when using either the stock browser or Chrome? if so, does your tablet still have that problem (minor annoyance really) now that you're rooted?
i likely won't wait for ASUS to update -- every time I fire up my web browser & see the lagging (or, when the tablet stops responding in Supernote), i grow more tired of the lag.
actually, how about lag in the browser & in Supernote ... do you experience any of that now that you're rooted?
thank you!
Oh, berndlb, I forgot to ask ... which kernel & DPI setting did you choose while flashing CleanROM? Have you experimented with other options?
lol.
I am a bit disappointed that the line flashing across the screen isn't fixed. Before I roo... ahem... unlock & flash CleanROM, I am going to contact ASUS and see what they're solution to the flashing screen is. Maybe they'll offer to replace the tablet with a later production unit with the conflict resolved.
Thanks again, bud.
lol. In every conversation I've had over the last several years, 'being rooted' is generally accepted for easy conversation -- everyone understanding that your device is no longer stock at some level. Yes, we could nit-pick (no offense meant, either) about the exact state of your hacking (unlocked, rooted, flashed), but that makes this conversation more convoluted, imho. I appreciate your detailed responses; so, I had no reason to say anything.
Thinking back to my DInc days, we had to unlock, root, backup if you were smart; then, finally flash. I understand that the dev of CleanROM took care of one of the steps for you -- convenient.

I hope you don't take me for a stickler now (although I probably am) Didn't mean to sound condescending!
I'm just thinking of my early days when I started to browse the forums, trying to understand the lingo, and was endlessly confused because some people called X=X, others called X=Y, and just when I thought I understood something, another post made me question that again. Just trying to be precise....
