Virtuous S-Series

S-Series ROM's are pretty close to stock, with basic optimisations and tweaks. This series is designed for people who rely on their device 24/7 and are not looking for the latest and greatest features. These ROM's will only be updated if and when an official release is announced.
We also encourage people to use these stable builds as bases for their own ROM's.

More information can be found on our Blog.

The Normal mode button now activates the 1.6Ghz mode.
So you don't have to use any other apps anymore. Just boost your CPU via the built in Quicksettings.

• Shut down the prime
• Hold both the Power-button and the Volume-down button until the splash screen appears and some white text in the left top corner is visible
• Release both buttons and press the Volume-up button
• The device now boots into your CWM recovery
• Make a backup of your current ROM
• Inside CWM select "wipe data/factory reset" (optional but highly recommended)
• Then flash the rom zip as usual

Downloads

Make sure you do a full wipe (aka "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM) before flashing this!!!

Please note that the ROM needs to settle down after the flash so give it at least 10 minutes after booting to reach the normal speed and smoothness!!!

Current & old versions

What I've been waiting for!

---

Oh man, I can't wait to get home and flash this. I'm ridiculously excited to get my flashing fix on the Asus now. Good job on getting this out there, I'll post again once I install and give my 2 cents.

Edit: Installed, restored all my apps. So far the tablet is running very smoothly. I didn't do any metrics before I installed, so I can't compare, but I'm happy so far. Can't wait to see what else is added to the ROM.

TYVM & I can't wait to try this out! ^ Darn you beat me to 1st

Plain awesome. Bootloader unlock, Recovery and the first custom ROM on one day!

Awesome work on getting a custom rom out on 'Unlock Day' can you confirm whether the 'sd card' aka. internal memory partition will get wiped when installing the rom via CWM or not please ?

I installed the rom quite a few times and also used the normal wipe data feature. None of those actions wiped my internal memory

I updated the OP with some install instructions

Awesome, downloading and flashing right now, matching DHD and Prime.....
... well almost.

P.S. Thanks for all the help earlier, and the point in the right direction.

Can confirm, I have wiped every partition possible with CWM today several times and I can say categorically that internal memory is safe and sound.

What are the performance differences between this and stock?
