I apologize as I'm sure there is another thread but I couldn't find it through the search. I am looking for suggestions on a custom ROM, Stability, Performance, Battery Life, Hopefully with increased jpeg quality, and full camera performance. I use my phone on WiFi quite a bit so it would be a plus if the rom had amplified the WiFi to like 15 or 20db.
I'm uncertain as to the development of ICS on this device, But I just came from ICS on my Optimus One which ultimately lead to my device being bricked randomly after beta testing. I absolutely loved ICS, but if the rom isn't stable enough to use as a daily driver then I would rather wait... (and by stable I mean past alpha status, functional beta is stable for me... I did tons of beta testing for Optimus One so I know what to expect as far as stability goes with works in progress)
So if you guys could link me to some of the best ROMS for this device it would be much appreciated.
Good question, this is my second rooted device so my exp. is limited, and ive tried several roms pyroice desensed 1.1.2 most recently and i couldnt get the web browser to load (which oobviously sux). But im runnin doubleshot lite and its pretty much the basic system debloated, and very stable

Which web browser were you using? I know that in the development for ICS for Optimus One, there was an issue with the stock browser and Cyanogenmod 9. I know that Opera or QQBrowser was their temporary solution.
My favorite rom is Bulletproof because it has all the features of our phone, and no bugs that I have noticed. I know alot of people prefer other roms because they are faster, or they are ics, but Bulletproof is the only one that hasn't cut out features, and it doesn't have alot of bugs....

Any PyroIce Rom is amazing.

Using the Bulletproof Rom, mostly because everything actually works.
Tried the an older Cyangen7 mod, but the battery got way too hot and could never charge beyond 40%
Tried the ICS rom and there are some apps that need to be re-sized, mounting the SD card as a flash drive doesnt work (not into paying 5$ for a widget), problems with wifi tethering to my wifes tablet.

Just for the record, skialaska, Blue6IX here is the one who created the Bulletproof ROM and I really have to agree with him on this. I feel that tbalden has been doing a great job of contributing a lot of time to multiple different ROMs for different demographics (sense vs nonsense vs cm9) and I really appreciate all of the effort that he has put into the development on this phone.
Personally, I don't like the Sense UI much, so Bulletproof isn't for me. I actually use tbalden's Pyroice desensed ROM. I do, however, respect greatly the amount of work that Blue6IX has put into developing a solid ROM and all the research into the limits of the machine in both speed and voltage.
If you can't respect the developers that donate all their free time to making our devices work better, then you probably don't belong here.

Lol Blue6IX didnt create bulletproof. Romanbb did. Blue only took over the project when romanbb hauled ass. Just an FYI.

My apologies, I meant no disrespect. I just see Blue6IX on the posts and he's maintaining it. I didn't realize that it was created by romanbb.
At this point, I think skialaska is just trolling. Best ignore him and move on, methinks.
Whew, had to do some serious cleanup... I know, part of it is my fault, I've been away (70hr weeks will do that to you).
Anyhoo, let's not bicker lest I have to close this thread. These "Best ROM" threads are always very polarizing and full of personal opinion - let's do our best to not attack others work, and just state what we feel is best and why. No need to put down other builds/ROM's because you don't like 'em!

Alien Mod Solar Flare

Hi WeekendsR2Short,
I couldn't find anywhere to mention this that I could post to since I'm a new member and can't post on the actual developer page for the Alien Mod Solar Flare that you created. I actually had more success with Play Store with the zip integrated with the GApps.
First off, I highly recommend this mod to anyone because of it's amazing speed. I installed it as an upgrade from 2.3.4 and I really don't want to go back. So, I want to keep it, but I've run into some problems that I need your help with. I hope I don't get banned or anything for posting this here. My apologies if this should go somewhere else.
1. Any web browser I use, stock or dolphin mini, crash after accessing pages. Chrome installs, but crashes when I load a page "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped."
2. When loading, Netflix goes back to my apps list after a second on the red splash screen.
Steps taken during install:
1. Formatted sd card to ext4
2. Then I followed the install instructions listed on the main page in red and black using "AlienMod Solar Flare Series V XXX 4.1.2 (DS).zip" through clockwork mod
3. After the install, I "Then flush Dalvik & fix permissions" according to your later instructions.
Could my crashing apps be related to flash content not loading? I'm really stumped here.
Thanks again for your hard work and I truly appreciate any input because I really don't want to use any other rom!
Yeah, there was a browser issue that popped up for a few people. It just kinda appeared in the port & I never could figure out what it was or why it wasn't consistent. As for the apps....shoot give it a try your way. Then the next time thru recovery just flush dalvik & reset permissions then.
Good JB Roms
Just wanted to drop a line for other non-devs who may be experimenting with JB Roms, and share my experiences. A couple months back, I was using only SilverL ROMS (swapping back and forth between CM 10 and AOKP). SilverL is doing some great work and still highly stable. I've been playing with tbalden's CM 10.1 rom recently though, because it is finally as stable as SilverL's and seems to have slightly better battery life and the camera seems sharper--also good video playback.
If you're looking for a more blingy ROM, WeekendsR2Short's recent PACMan release looks excellent, and has the coveted Rings widget as stock. I loved the look, but the settings UI was awkward with the split screen, and I kept having the settings crash if I tried to manage storage. Still, sweet ROM if you like the visuals over some (admittedly very minor) functionality.
All in all, I think all three of these devs deserve serious props for the progress they've made in these last short weeks. I am having a really hard time deciding between SilverL's AOKP (since I like the look) and TBalden's slightly more bulky CM10.1. I'm leaning toward tbalden just because I won't have to either splice in more ringtones or rely on SD access to get some decent ones. Arbitrary, I know. Kudos to all.
Cheers,
Wulf
P.S., on a side note, my 13-yr-old really wants to learn coding, and I thought AOSP or AOKP might be a good place to play. Any suggestions for getting him started?

Agreed, I've checked the forums on and off for months looking for stable daily driver mods without issues I felt would prohibit use of this phone compared to the stock roms, but the stuff out now with JB is damn usable. I've been using SilverL's unofficial CM10.1 for a little over 2 weeks myself as well, have seen little bugs already get fixed in that little time, and have almost 0 issues with it as a daily driver. Amazing, amazing work being done in this place. I'd been on stock GB fully locked non-rooted phone before this. Now that I saw more and more apps are finally requiring 4.X or higher I figured I'd check and see what's available here, and was not in the least disappointed! Kudos to all those involved in the hard work going on here!
The best rom is any stock optomized rom....at the same time sense gets dull and boring too look at so jb will liven it up but it will break features such as the crispy clean sense camera or internet passthrough fast boot time and others...depending on your outlook on things the best may be the one with more tweaks...or the most stable...all in all jb does things sense stock can't....sense stock also does things jb can't do...my battle is the sense camera...my how ide love it in a jb rom

what is your most favourite rom where a majority of the features work? aside from the core functionality, i guess i'm primarily needing the wifi+data+camera to all work properly. will hdmi ever work on any rom?
anyway, please name some roms that you particularly like as i'm late to the triumph party and would like some suggestions. thanks.

FROYO
Right now the most exciting ROM is the Sharp Froyo ROM by Bsydz - Everything works as far as I know, I think he also fixed the voice mail issue
http://androidforums.com/triumph-al...ed-sharp-2-2-2-triumph-updated-6-27-12-a.html
CM7
g60 style - final - This is a great ROM there is a few bugs but most users love this ROM as it's Gingerbread, HDMI does not work. There is also a handful of variants of the this ROM people have themed. The newest one, that is being built from source code is StarShip by chairshot215.
CM9
There is Mantera's CM9 which is a solid rom, however no Camera or HDMI. There is also AOKP by rukin5197 again no Camera or HDMI I have not installed that but I hear lots of cool features not offered on CM9.
G60 style is by far the best ROM as far as I'm concerned.
I am not a big fan of Froyo, but the Sharp ROM is smooth and everything works.
The CM9 stuff is pretty cool but not as fast or stable and the camera doesn't work.
If you want Ice Cream Sandwich, try the G60 style ROM with Holo launcher and the Cynocream theme. That's what I am running and the only difference I see is that there aren't widgets in the app drawer. Other than that, it is pretty much a complete ICS experience.
G60, I was going to post this in the Development forum, but apparently I am not allowed. I am also getting random reboots on your ROM. It never gets to the point of boot looping but it does reboot a couple of times a day. I also have been restoring all my apps and some app data with titanium backup. I will probably try reflashing and not using TB at some point to see if that works. I will let you know what I find. In the meantime, thanks for the awesome ROM! It made me happy to have this phone for the first time!

While I am a fan of Titanium I have found as I moved from g60 version to g60 version I started having more problems. Finally on my journey I recommend everyone do full wipes and dalvik. Then reload apps from Play Store. That always seems to put the issue to bed, it sucks because it's a lengthy process but that is a sure fire way to kill all problems.
Right now we have only 3 supported ROMs.
There are some others, but development has bees stopped, developers left or just putting things all hold.
The good news all ROMs are fully working! Well, almost.
1. Sharp ROM - almost Stock with a few goodies like fully working GPS and Tethering
2. CM7 g60 - as close as it can get to CM7 with all CM goodies minus HDMI and slow GPS. No updates but it is in progress, developers are here, still working, still coding.
3. StarShip - everything CM7 has + theme + few nice tweaks, frequent updates.
Yeah, the Sharp ROM is a port from the Sharp SH8188u. It is fully functional now with Ver6, just has 2 quick fixes that have to be done after you install the ROM. Other than that it is one of the fastest and smoothest options we have.
I was running G60's CM7 before I got the Sharp ROM working. It was very nice.
There are a few options out there but you just have to find what suits you and what you can live with and what you can't.
My current favorite is the CM7 Tickerguy Reloaded 3-25 FINAL! The g60 has some kind of wierd 360 launcher in chinese! The launcher and extra stuff does slow it down! I am currently in development for the Motorola Triumph! I have a new ROM that is called the GingerMOD. I will be tweaking the CM7 Tickerguy ROM!
As for FROYO: DON'T PICK FROYO! ITS SLOW AND BATTERY LIFE STINKS!
And there are no ICS ROMS out there with working camera yet sorry

I'm using g60's latest he has gotten rid of the 360 launcher and alot of the extra apps that slowed it down, alot smoother now. Agree about the froyo lol, and not asking for eta but will you be releasing your rom? If you need a tester let me know, thanks :thumbup:

Good ROM and a Side Note
Yeah, Starship is awesome! I highly reccommend it currently, as it has more of g60's tweaks (A GPS tweak, to be specific), than cm7-g60style even currently has in its stable form. The good news is that sometime in the future there will be a stable (not RC!) CM7 with rewritten device files, so a lot of the issues will be gone!
Beta ROMs
The latest beta mtdev.us release is great for me, at least. Although not everything is working yet, everything is smoother and much more stable. Also, no random reboots after about a week of usage (including leaving the phone on overnight several times). It's rock solid! :good:

So is anyone working on a Jellybean ROM for the Viewsonic g-tablet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29584976&postcount=4
This was a response I got to my ranting about viewsonic developers STILL releasing FROYO updates three months (JAN 2012) after ICS source code was available. So, GB, honycomb,ICS,JEllybean from viewsonic? PROBABLY NOT! it seems they will keep paying their developers (or whoever the hell TapnTp is) to keep trying to stabilize their idea of frozen yogurt while the rest of the world keeps turning. what is my worthless point? As long as its possible the gtab will keep getting updated by those who have the skills and the tenacity, but not officially ever. I am currently working on a camera solution involving a webcam, which is the only thing not really working on ICS, and will continue to be a problem with any future jellybean rom. SO, if you are patient, you will get your wish.
Jellybean is now live on the other site. It will be a week or 2 then it will be posted over here. Get it while it's hot
What 'other site'?

I have been searching high and low for a tread that you are on to say Damn good job guys. The only thing that I see for a request is adding ROM Toolbox lte to it. More simplifyed options to modify settings to see what works better.
By the way guys just go straight to the DRH website or use the DRH app to download the Jelly Bean ROM. Make sure that you follow instructions to the letter or else it will not load up correctly.

Gtablet Vs Kindle Fire HD
I am surprised to see that ICS has not reached to its stable version yet and all the dev are already working on Jelly bean !
What is going to happen with ICS beta? Are users being forced to switch to Jelly bean? I am just frustrated because, the ICS is being slow,
I am lucky to find a solution by rajeevvp that made it more responsive but I wonder how long will it last?
And my last question to all Guru's , where do our Gtablet stand compare to Kindle fire HD? in terms of its hardware power.
Thanks.

JB from ICS is like gingerbread from froyo. It is not a major update or change. It does have project butter however, and for me JB uses less RAM on boot. so no one is forced to do anything. We are all happy to make this change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I seem to get a boot loop no matter what I do. I am always able to flash back to stock 1.2 tnt (ouch). I had been running Vegan Tab Ginger for about a year. I read a post from Fosser2 taking me through the process of starting from 1.1 thru 1.2 then trying the whole JB flash. No Go
Always either boot loops to birds or black. Anyway, I read where Bishop posted another fix from Rajeevvp where you flash a fixed Kernal, but that one I have a problem wrapping my head around. Does someone have this Kernal already in Zip?? I would try this, but my kernal editing blows.
I have also tried ICS with the same results. Yes...I have used both the setups with either 250mb for ICS, and the larger for JB.
Please Help

Some tablets have sandisk NAND and have few problems. Other gtabs have Samsung NAND and they have lots of problems. Some people who cannot flash are able to with bloader 1.1. bootloader doesnt matter with JB so go ahead and try from 11 and let us know results. There are threads on using 1.1 so search for them, I will too.
Cant really figure out how to get the 1.1 bootloader to work either if I am doing it right, it is not working either. Might be the kernal issue someone else mentioned. I will try again with what I believe is the 1.1 bootloader, but I could find no NVflash to it specifically so I am unsure.
Haven't played with my GTablet in a long time.
I had Brilliant Corners on it.
Just updated it to black jelly, looks good so far,

Has anyone overcome the three birds issue yet. I really want to use my gtablet for some of my online training courses i'm doing but it will not work on flashback (honeycomb). I havent been able to install anything past flashback.
I was running Team DRH's ICS ROM which was good, then switched to their JB ROM which had some hiccups and slow downs but was manageable, but I've got to say nobe's Smooth Bean ROM is by far the best that I have run on my tab. Snappy and haven't had any issues yet. Definitely worth a look for anyone wanting to update to JB.
Suggest you try Smooth Bean over in Dev forum

I was on Flashback 10 for probably a year, reading, watching the development of other ROMS include ICS and JB. I just recently went from Flashback 10.1 to Smooth Bean. Just follow the instructions over in the dev forum. Pretty straight forward. You could also look up Ray Waldo's nflash instructions. So far no big issues, seems to be very fast, I like Opera Mobile so flash doesn't work or I haven't gotten it to work. Smooth Bean comes with Chrome. Flash does work somewhat with the default browser but with Opera or firefox I haven't had any luck yet.

When I went from Flashback to SmoothBean it took a couple tries to get it right and I thought I followed the directions given. I didnt understand why exactly they wanted 4096/0 partition and it wasn't explained so I tried it also with 2048/0 which I used for Flashback but still had issues. I tried again with 4096/0 and it worked. My experience testing and using smoothbean too is I think Chrome is somewhat unstable at times and hangs or takes long time to respond like it could be maxing out cpu or something. I dont really think its neccessarily related to flash. I like opera mobile and am disappointed flash doesnt wrk with it. I tried using firefox and overridding the useragent and almost got flash to work some but it then errored out. Also read where some had tired using backup versions of flash and opera and thought some haf gotten it to work. This still is lot faster than flashback was so thats nice. I was on bootloader 2 version when I flashed.
I had the Vibrant and flashed all kinds I'd ROMs with it. Moved to the iPhone 4s and then traded that for my new S3. It was a good choice. So now I'm planning to get started flashing on this phone.
Wanted to know what is the same and what is different from the Vibrant from previous Vibrant users.
What's the best place to start flashing? I'm looking for stability and speed. Preferably more stability than stock cause stock is a little buggy honestly.

Honestly, the post was more about the Vibrant than anything. I was hoping to see some of the same people and get their experiences on ROMs compared to what we had on the Vibrant.
Like on the Vibrant it went from Android 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3 and you constantly had to be aware of what you were flashing. It doesn't seem that way (yet) with the S3 from what I've been reading. Is that the case? At this point everything is compatible and we're able to flash away for the most part?
And I was hoping someone could tell me what's stable and smooth right now. Stock has been touch and go for my device and I haven't done anything to it. I'm looking for a fast non-overclocked kernel matched with a stable daily driver ROM. Any help is appreciated, dickhead comments aren't. This place has turned all elitist. This is the General forums....thought I could get away with a few simple questions with answers based on experiences, after having read through all these threads.
Speaking of which NeverendingXin, I read a lot of that thread yesterday but it seemed to give descriptions of what AOSP vs AOKP vs CM10 vs MIUI. Which I learned a lot from and I appreciate. But I was looking for more advice on specific ROMs. Anyone that could say "This ROM with this kernel has worked for me and I like it's speed" or whatever would do.
You want to find out what's stable and smooth?
Man up and make a backup of your current rom and flash away trying different roms. You'll likely end up getting different responses from different people and it isn't likely you'll have their same experience. Just find out for yourself. The guide the person above directed to you to was made to prevent threads asking what rom is stable or to use.

Well in that sense the best information I can give you is that for a touch wiz ics Rom I'd use synergy, I used that for a long time and it was always super stable and smooth for me. If your looking for aosp then I'd use either liquid smooth or slim bean I'm more familiar with liquid and it's really great, but I'm trying out slim bean and it's so far been good as well. I hope this helps

I'm from the Fascinate but I've also worked on the Vibrant.
* You don't have to worry about bml/mtd here. Which means you can flash basically everything without having to odin.
* You do have to worry about the locked bootloader. CASUAL can unlock it. Droidstyle has a sticky thread here on xda to help you with this and many other processes.
* There are excellent stock and AOSP-based ROMS. AOSP-based ROMS aren't quite 100% (but close) on RIL issues though.
*On verizon, radios are typically flashed separately and only in certain circumstances (odin package) included with ROMS.
* You DO have to worry about the IMEI issue. There are numerous threads about backing up this information and a Sticky thread with a tool for recovering it.
* If you are looking for a custom kernel check out Leankernel which is linked to in the signature of the poster above me. note that it's an AOSP kernel. Find the touchwiz version in the same forum.
Something else to bote about unlocking the bootloader, if you are going to use EZ Unlock from the market DON'T!!!! Go to root wiki and download version 1.2. For some reason 1.3 & 1.4 are wonky. The older versions are on the same thread as 1.4.
My vote for a ROM is Paranoid Android, I had some bug issues on Liquid Smooth but on PA I have had none thus far. I would reccomend flashing Paranoid Android version 2.5 instead of 2.51, there seems to be an issue for some users with the latest commits in 2.51 from what I read earlier today.
I'm sure you know how to back up you IMEI but just in case use the terminal method and the synergy flash method.
Just trying to cover most bases, I didn't know what you knew and didn't know.

The reason I asked is because stock on the S3 is as stable as you are going to get. The most stable custom Roms are going to be the ones based of stock TW and you can get them with some added tweaks. They are no more stable then stock as stock is stable as a *****. If you are getting force closes and lockups there is probably an issue with what you have installed.
Any AOSP rom will still have bugs and will be the least stable out of all the options. No matter how many people say Liquid or AOKP or CM10 or PA or MIUI is running great, they run no where near as stable and perfect as any TW rom.
If you want stability, go with a TW rom. read the different threads, mostly the last couple of pages of each which are usually about the latest release and you will know what is good and what is not.
This is what I am running and it does not get any more stable then this but then again stock was stable as ***** as well...

Thanks guys.... this is exactly what I was looking for. As far as backing up the IMEI, I've never had to do that. Not on the Vibrant or My HTC View....so I have some reading to do there. Any tips or links to threads on that would be appreciated.
And I did have to unlock the bootloader on the View, but it's not a process I know a lot about.... so reading to do there as well.
Thanks for the tips guys. Looks like I'm going back to do some more studying.

I did it this way and spend 2 weeks of hell. Don't recommend this, PLEASE.
Here's my own thoughts, as reliable as the butt dyno installed in my TSX:
CM10: depending on the build it was OK to "omg, I just rebooted why is this running so slow?" I tried this rom twice and gave up. I had installed a nightly from Friday which is what had serious issues. I'd reboot and within 15 minutes everything would be crawling.
ParanoidAndroid: I might accept this if I could opt to have a phone styled settings app. I see no way to get that, and I don't enjoy my settings app on my S3 using a tablet layout. Can this be changed?
AOKP: Wifi didn't work without a kernel, battery life ranged from amazing to terrible (no data on why, I didn't look at my wakelocks) and bluetooth didn't function right - it didn't auto connect to my car.
MIUI: Verdict is out, first flashed it yesterday. First thoughts are that it feels slightly slow, but that might be because I put the governor into dynamic mode. Battery life is looking about on par with paranoid
Liquidsmooth: didn't see any reason to use this over PA or CM, didn't feel much smoother to me (forgetting the nightly build I flashed of CM10, because that was just awful.)

The one on the marketplace worked fine for me? It always says "unknown" but it unlocks. What does LiquidSmooth change from CM10? They don't seem to have many builds.
Can the ParanoidAndroid settings app be made to have a phone layout for settings instead of the double paned layout? If yes, I might give Paranoid a second try.

Well the one in the marketplace may work fine for you but everyone else who has tried version 1.4 has posted so many messages because it didn't truly unlock their phone and gave them a soft brick. The reason it may work for you is because the dev finally fixed it. I just know that there have been numerous threads of people getting soft bricks from version 1.4.
As for Liquid, it is their spin off of CM10. There are a few notable differences but I honestly don't know how to describe them properly, you would just have to flash it and mess with it yourself.
I agree completely about CM10 being buggy as hell, I personally don't care for it but without it we wouldn't have half of the roms we do.
The upside to Liquid, PA, and some of the other offshoots is that the devs over them are busting their ass to get all the kinks worked out, and from my testing they are better than CM10 bug wise. Everyone's phone is different though and something that works for me will not work for someone else. For instance I can successfully over clock my phone to 2.1Ghz where a lot of people can go above 1.7 or 1.9 without losing stability.
As for you question about PA, I thought there was a setting to get rid of the double menu, but I just took a quick look and couldn't find it. I very well may have overlooked it though, as I said it was just a quick look. You could try googling it or asking in the PA thread and seeing if anyone can point you in the right direction.

Check the PA thread for the answer - go into PA settings, go to the app settings, find the settings app in there and hit reset. My guess is that it is a bug with the current version of the ROM.

Has anyone developed a JB rom yet that works correctly with the Slider keyboard? The ones I tried a couple of months ago all turned off the screen when you opened the keyboard.

I don't have a slider, but try the EOS4 and/or Noname cm10.1 builds, they might have implemented this functionality.
EOS 4 hasn't, I'll try No Name
You should report back here if you find out. I'm looking to breathe new life into my Slider.
None of them are compatible due to the rom reading the opening of the keyboard as a docked transformer being closed. The Megatron rom had a switch to disable this feature for the Slider. I'm afraid no one cares to take the time for us since there weren't that many Sliders sold.

I also have an ASUS Slider and its too bad there's no development for it.. would very much like to join in on all the JB fun
from what i understand the problem has to do with the lidpatch in the TF101 ROM's
Agreed. The CM 10 Unofficial rom in the dev section mostly works and there is no lidpatch with it. The only major issue is no screen rotation when keyboard is closed. I can live with that.

Keyboard works on both. Only things that don't work are 1) doesn't wake up from the keyboard 2) the rear camera is inverted.
Which 4.2.2 build did you try? I tried the latest and opening the keyboard shuts off the tablet.
We need a list of ROMs that don't use the lid patch, or a way to remove the lid patch from existing jb ROMs.

Tried the 4.1.2 CM ROM, found a few things that don't work:
1) Auto rotation doesn't work when keyboard is closed, but it does work when the keyboard is open .
2) As you've already said- the rear camera is inverted and confusing ><
3) Again, as you've already said, it doesn't wake up from the keyboard.
Can't think about another one right now, I flashed my slider back to ICS a month ago so I don't remember much...
I'll try the No-name CM ROM and will report...

If you're new to everything, you're better off keeping it as it is for now and doing a lot of reading and talking on the forums, easiest way to turning it into a brick is reading one thread and crossing your fingers
I don't own the slider so not sure which ROMs are available or even the method to flash it, although I can't imagine it being much different to the TF101
I hated ICS but that was mainly down to ASUS and their amazing updates that turned a perfectly good tablet into a useless rebooting crashing POS
Jumping on the JB Custom ROM wagon was the best thing I even did, the TF runs 100x better than the day I got it
The later JB ROMs have a new UI too
Best thing to do, just find a long custom ROM thread and just start reading from the start, you'll be surprised how much you pick up thanks to other peoples issues and questions and replies
