Changelogs Rom 2
AOSP Android 4.2.2 (JB) ROM:

Changelog BETA v2.0 (February 08 2014)

• Fixed alot of issues on the core system
• Internal Storage is now readable/writable
• Emulated Storage is now readable/writable
• App Instalation is Fixed
• Update BusyBox
• Update SuperSU
• Update GravityBox; Xposed Framework (Fully Working since this is AOSP)
• And several other Fixs

NOT Working:

• Cameras (front and rear)

Needs further work:

• External Storage, will be available once you take your SDCard off, and insert again.BUT can cause random reboots.
• BT, will give you FC when you turn on, but it works OK
• You tell me

In addition to the ROM changelog:
External SDCard: as I said it can cause random reboots, also if you reboot the TAB it can cause bootloops,in this case just remove the SDCard and the TAB will boot just fine. Last case scenario, remove the SDCard and wipe dalvik
Benchmarks: Well its noticeable the increase in speed and less RAM usage on the AOSP Betas.
Some guys are asking me why the Antutu scores are so similar with the stock Asus/And my custom ROM?
Well you should check the ram usage/FPS between the ROMs And since the Aosp doesn't fully support the external SDCard, this will give about less 2k on Antutu scores (Storage IO / database IO)
So... If you really want to compare Antutu scores, remove your External SDCard from the stock Asus/ V1.1r2 Roms.
