ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T owners can now install Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), courtesy a XDA recognised developer known as XpLoDWilD. The developer, however, claims the file is an experimental build and some features may not work; he did add he expects to refine it for the future.

"This is temporary until CM10 tree is in a state where I can build it fine for this device," claimed XpLoDWilD, in a note on the forum. The issues in question relate to the camera, audio recording, HW video playback, screenshots and volume control. However, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi options, as well as the sensors, have been reported as working.
