I am writing my experience with Jelly bean on inspire as I wanted to read one before I tried it but didnt find anything in detail. Here is how I did it and how it has been so far:
I used THIS to root my phone and THIS is the ROM that I used. Please note that you have to install google apps separately to get access to market. Download link is on the same page as ROM.
It went quite smooth and took me about half hour before I had the phone up and running again. I have been using it for last 2 days.
So far everything I have tried has been working:
TOUCH SCREEN: works perfect.
All HARD KEYS are working.
Camera works fine
Camcorder works okay, not great though (the recorded videos have few stutters).
ixMAT scanner dint work but BarCode Scanner did.
Wifi/network data works good.
GPS works fine, i traveled some 20 miles without any problems.
Bluetooth works fine.
Phone works good. Initially it sounded like "sounds was too loud for speaker". I was able to fix that by decreasing the volume just a bit.
Accelerometer and other sensors work good.
I haven't felt any difference in battery. It charged as quickly as it did before and battery life seems okay (although I have really been using it a lot).
Performance of jelly bean:
It is amazingly smooth and fast. Initially I missed the sense UI but once i got used to NOVA launcher, it feels great. I found a launcher called "LP Sense UI". It gives the same feeling as Sense 3.0 did ( I came from Stock 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.0) although it is not very customize-able. If you are Sense clock lover, you may like this widget called "Sense flip clock and weather". I like its visuals. Its music apps "Apollo" is quite nice.
You can see a screenshot of my home screen.
Feel free to post if you have any comments/questions.
***************************************
Update: Just discovered that by default, the system disables wifi when the phone goes to sleep which results in higher data usage. To avoid this, System settings>wifi> hit Menu and select Advanced> Keep wifi on during sleep> always. This may result in a little higher battery usage.
Update 2: Almost a week now and it is still running quite smooth despite the fact that I have tried A LOT of apps and a lot of widgets. Occasional hang ups have happened when an app becomes non responsive and I have to wait a couple of minute; happened to me twice in a week.
I used to use this rom but now I'm on miui, pretty much better when it comes to camera and battery life.
updated the OP and added a couple of screenshots..
Jellytime from RB es working great, no big issues.

I get horrible WiFi signal on my wife's inspire with all the JB Roms. I'm fairly certain its the Kang Bang kernel. Haven't tried any of the CM10 nightlies yet, but every other ROM, ICS or GB, the WiFi signal is excellent. And I know its not my router, an Asus RT-66U, I get signal on my skyrocket from that thing out in the street. Lordmod's kernel was the same way, but Existz TalonAce always proved better. Hopefully Existz will give us JB soon.

Jelly Time is a solid JB rom and I liked it when I used it for a few weeks.
Right now, I use Codefire as my daily rom.
Pacman is a great ROM as well, in the dhd development section.

JB & ICS Roms
In the last 3 months I have used 8 different roms, on CM10 latest nightly. Seems good.
I have swappted the radio trying to find the best one. I only get about 40ft of wifi with one dot.
had the 12.69s and now back to 12.59 and it seems to pick up a little better with less battery drain.
Still playing around to find the best combo.
Thanks for sharing. I'm looking to root my htc and wasn't sure which rom to use.
I currently have the most recent and up to date Ice cold sandwich ROM, and I was thinking of switching to jelly bean. Should I make the switch? I don't know much about these ROM's my friend does, and I've heard jelly bean is a great ROM.
I've been rockin cm10.1 and can never go to ICS or even 4.1.2 again runs so smooth

Was using Sabsa prime v 8.0 which had ICS 4.0.3 and now am running CyanogenMod 10.1 with jelly bean 4.2.1 and I am not considering going back. In fact I am looking at how smoothly this 10.1 runs on galaxy note 2 so when I upgrade I can get 4.1.2 Samsung touch whiz stuff off.

I tried a few of the various jellybean roms and while I really liked them I had a few probs, wifi signal being one, on another it would just freeze up on me, another had really bad sound artifacts when I would listen to music though headphones that I just couldn't live with.
I went to ICS aospx and am content, my battery life kills my wifes stock inspire 4g while running very smoothly...
I may give another one of the jellybean roms another try with a different kernel and see what happens... but right now i'm happy so we'll see if I change it.
Thanks for sharing your experience, based on this I am going to give this a shot.
which kernel and radio suits for jelly bean?
I'm running the JellyTime ROM as well, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it's working. I was running CM7.2 previously, and while I liked it, there was a persistent GPS bug that was not being fixed. Navigator would lose GPS after 2 min and never recover it, although I learned that the workaround is to toggle GPS while Navigator is running. JellyTime originally had this bug as well, which apparently made it into CM10. But one of the JellyTime updates fixed it, and hopefully it was back-ported into CM10.
I've only been running JellyTime a few days, but all the important things seem to work well. One minor issue is that the backlight on the hardware keys goes out after a few seconds, rather than staying on when the screen is on or being turned on by the proximity sensor. One thing I miss was a widget in CM7.2 that pulled down notifications, which was a convenience in lieu of swiping.
Cm10.1 smooth
if you like JB, you will also like CM10.1, it's smooth so far for me, everything works or the apps I used all works. I will update, if I find any issues.

I played around with the custom ICS today & I like the interface 'n all but there were a couple of problems (most noticeably, WiFi wasn't connecting). So I'll just stick with GB until the official version comes out. How does everyone else like ICS?
The smoothness and battery life is a musthave, the instability sucks, but the battery life and overall performance is so great, that I can't force myself to reflash 1.17 and a Sense rom.
Sense 3.5/3.6 looks really ugly to me.. but probably because I prefer the blue look that I get with the Blue Sky skin in Sense 3.0. Even with that skin on Sense 3.6, everything is completely black.. and sleek round buttons of 3.0 are replaced with really fugly huge rectangular buttons; it looks like a step backwards in UI. The browser is very fluid, but the top controls don't look quite right either.
Hopefully that's just a beta thing since it's a leaked test build. Might push me to whack out Sense and go CM9 down the line. Then again, even AOSP keeps changing with every version.. why can't Google design one decent looking UI and run with it?

i also created an extreme blue theme
I use Elegancia ICS 2.1.6. This is blue, stable as a rock and blazing fast. Never had any problem with this ROM.
I use Android Revolution HD 6.1.0 and it's AMAZINGLY stable and the battery life is epic. So much so that I'm almost afraid to update to the latest version.
23hrs 24m on battery, Display on 2h 22m, 1h 1m of voice calling. My best up-time before I reset a few days was 144hrs with no random reboots or other issues as seen in the screenshots below
Edit: I don't even use Juice Defender anymore, I keep data (or wifi) on all the time
I'll wait. I rooted and romed the crap out of my n1, I don't mind waiting for ics ota.
Currently on VI 3.0. For the most part I like it, it feels really fluid and snappy and quite stable. But I'm considering going back to GB for two reasons: Can't run juicedefender and wifi tethering is broken. Can't post in the developer's thread because of new account...

Have a look HERE in the Ics fixes thread. The work around for wi-fi tether is about the eighth one down in the first post.
waiting.
from the amaze camera failing or wifi/wifi calling not working its not worth it at this sstage. I have the Elegancia GB ROM and i don't use Sense so it is fast and what I need right now.
I will wait until there is a stable ROM after the ICS release so I can tweak and get the Amaze camera ported over. i LOVE that thing.
I have used the test leak RUU roms and a few custom ICS roms. The performance is snappy and battery life was best with the stock, non-'hex-edited' kernels, although there is a sweetspot I have found that works for me: use the custom kernel (or stock for XE) at 1.5 GHz (not 1.7 GHz, as I have had random phone crashes/hangs/restarts etc.) and enable the 2nd core. Works fine if you can put up with the small number of bugs you might come across, although most of these have been ironed out with sense 3.6 and the custom roms are always updating their firmware/rom base.
Loving ICS, cant wait for official release and kernel sources for more power and battery life
I know this has been done many time let try to help each other along with the kind developers. The ones I know about are Eagles Blood, Genesis, Hellfire Sandwich, and Owain's UNOFFICIAL BUILD.
If you know of more list them. If you like one VS the other list it and explain why and compared to what. List what you do not like about each one as well. Lists of likes and dislikes.
If one Rom has one thing working and another Rom dose not maybe this could help the developers.
thanks
How about you try them out for yourself and see which one works best for you?

I don't believe Eagles Blood has updated their ICS Rom since March and Hellfire Sandwich you can't edit the lock screen apps

Eaglesblood's AOSP pre-release is downloadable since about 5 hours ago. There's supposed to be another release today/tomorrow.
For the pre-release (my observations - do not generalize!!!):
*NO WiFi
*Lock screen seems to be off its normal position - it has the unlock/dial/messages/camera, but the camera is somewhere under the screen (?!?!) and I didn't even know it's there until someone pointed it out.
*Battery life seems pretty bad FOR ME. I had about 90% when I flashed the ROM last night. I only installed APEX launcher, Google maps, Dolphin HD, and updated ROM Manager and did a bit of browsing and messed around with some settings - not more than 30 mins. I also set the alarm to ring in about 5 hours. Surprise, surprise: the phone was dead when I woke up because its battery had dies - hopefully the release coming today/tomorrow will fix that.
*Stock browser doesn't work for me. It shows some all black or all white screen and sometimes just quits. That's why I installed Dolphin that fixes the problems.
*Google maps sometimes turns all grey. It's still there I can zoom in and out and use all the functions but I can't see them. I have to restart it - sometimes multiple time to get it back to work.
THE LAST TWO BULLETS have been common for me in all ICS ROMs I've used (EGB AOSP, Hellfire Sandwich, Genesis) and these are the main reason ICS is cannot remain my daily driver. I keep going back to Miui.

I've been using HFS for my daily. It's pretty stable and quick, and it just works. (for me anyway).
Owain's seems really innovative, but it just had too many issues for the time being. I may come back to that one on a later date when more things get ironed out.
In the meantime, I'm awaiting the release of HSF.8

Okay for me it's like i've tested every ics rom for g2x out there except genesis.
hellfire: it's a good rom but has some data drop issues didn't try it with harsh kernel yet may be on 1.8 coming soon.
eagleblood: 4.0.4 using it right now not bad smooth but few issues camera is 5m pix the gps is awful keeps on droping signal not battery percent option. data is perfect thou no drop ,
cm9 euroskank: this was the best rom i had up until they started updating it every update had issues no data at all no sound on the latest best was 1.3
right now i'm going to try hang v63 cz hopefully it's better i love the harsh kernel thanks the team that build it.
I've been running EB AOSP since the beginning, I love it.. All the ics problem I haven't really noticed.. The rom is super fast and snappy.. I don't take pics with the stock camera so the 5mp doesn't bother me.. I picked up fxcamera when it was 50 cents on the market.. Just no video recording.. But that's with all ics roms.. I've tried the others here on xda and they all seem very laggy to me.. I don't know why.. And too I'm like the stock feel of EB ics with apex launcher I'm happy

I've tried them all out myself. I used hfs for the longest because of how stable it was. Had to do the occasional reboot, but nothing major. I started using Genesis with harsh kernel a couple of days ago, and must say I am really impressed. I've had a couple of random reboots that wasn't normal with hfs, but I'm digging everything else. I just wish someone would fix the major camera issue! I'm a little ROM happy as I work for TMobile and am always trying to keep on the up and up.

I personally love AOKP. It's probably the smoothest and most stock 4.0.4 rom i've ever used. It has big support and a nice website with everything you need. It also has a simple rom control and theme manager in the settings and that's it. No other cluttered crap. I love the continuing updates and support. I haven't experienced one force close or overheat yet with this one. It's a keeper. [:
I don't like ANY of the ICS ROM's that are out currently. Until LG/nVidia releases the drivers for the tegra2 and G2X, I won't be pleased with what's out there.
Hello. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and want to switch back to the One X due to its awesome screen. I initially didn't like the One X due to the overbearing Sense (especially the multitasking, I hated that side scrolling thing). Are there stable builds od Jellybean available? If you tried them, how is your experience with it?
I'm using CM10 on my One X and love it. So much faster and more responsive than sense.

After I rooted I went to CleanROM 4.5 and I loved it. I enjoy sense, I just was much nicer on CleanROM thats for sure. But this is my first ever android phone, so i wanted to experience stock android. That's when I flashed CM10. I Gotta say, man is it ever smooth! This phone runs amazingly with Jelly Bean, its so fast so smooth and just so much better than sense.
I have owned every iphone up until now, and man, it was the right choice to change!
Sent from my HTC One X on CM10!
I only played around with CM10 for a short time yesterday, so others can certainly speak on the matter better than I. But seeing as you haven't received a great many responses so far, here is my 2 cents:
Short answer is that JB is very young, and things are changing quickly and often.
The general UI is very smooth, and works very well. But there are still various bugs being worked out on certain aspects, which may or may not be a deal breakers for you (for now), depending on how you use your phone. On the 8-26 nightly, streaming audio was broken (Pandora didn't work at all) and even playing non-streaming music (MP3's on the SD) mostly did not work. It looks like this may have been fixed on the 8-28 nightly. But things are changing literally day by day, and not always for the better due to upstream changes. Seems that in call volume has gone back and forth from fixed to broken, for instance.
Video camera is mostly fixed on nightlies that are labelled EXPERIMENTAL in the file name, broken in the ones that do not. I say "mostly" because the output was good most the time, but 1 time out of maybe the 10 tries I made, the output was still garbled. Again, this is something that may get ironed out very soon. The dev mentioned they just got a open source version of the phone's camera software, and he sounded very optimistic this would help remedy the camera bugs.
Everyone's requirements for what makes a daily driver is different. But for me, there are enough issues to wait longer for the bugs to be worked out. No knock on the devs at all. Their hard work is totally appreciated. What has been accomplished is awesome (and in such a short time). But CM10 is still being billed as in an "early state". Some early adopters will have to tolerate some bugs to have the cutting edge, that's just how it always is. For those that need a more stable product, we'll have to wait a bit.
Yeah building on what he said, CM10 is stable enough for a daily driver (and has been for awhile) as long as you don't need your video camera. Things break here and there but as long as you pay attention to the thread then you will know what to expect from what builds. And btw the streaming audio was fixed in 8-28, used it this morning.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Hey guys, just found this thread.
I am very interested in the one x but do not want anything to do with sense! Assuming I get a one x with 1.85 firmware or earlier, do you think there is enough development going on to get a extremely stable cm10 (or cm9) build for this phone?
It feels a little big to me and the power button could be in a better place, but I like everything else about the phone.

Besides the video camera, LTE also seems to have problems? Browsing through the thread I see people have to set a bunch of settings after every reboot for LTE to work. That can be a big issue for me.

I love Jellybean, but more importantly I don't think I'll ever go back to a non-AOSP based ROM. The devs who work on Sense ROMs do an amazing job removing bloatware and speeding up what HTC gave us, but you can't match the speed of software that was designed from the ground up to be sleek and smooth. Plus I just enjoy the customizability of AOKP and CM10.
My personal preference is CM10, mainly because of battery life and the small tweaks that are unique to CM10 (for now). As others have stated there are some stability issues with Jellybean, but there are bugs in all software and in time they will be worked out. Make a full backup in TWRP and just try flashing CyanogenMod for a day to see if you like it. Titanium Backup Pro offers complete backups of all app data and even SMS, so I am constantly flashing new ROMs without much risk of permanent data loss.

I don't know. LTE works for me. Noticed it when I went to work today. Btw LTE just got switched on in Wilmington, DE. I never had to change any settings, it just worked.
Edit: I remember I was on CleanROM (forget which version, but it was quite awhile ago, I think it was based on 1.85), then moved to AOKP M6, then to CM10.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Yep, lte has always worked for me as well (cm10 and aokp). I did come from cleanrom though (started with version 1). I switched to aokp jellybean and it's been more stable and honestly, smoother than cm was. That was back on the 8/16 version so things may have changed. Since I can't comment on the newer releases of cm, I will say that the aokp jellybean release is extremely smooth overall. As with cm, camera and video still have issues. My personal opinion though, is that neither aokp or cm are as stable, smooth, complete as cleanrom de was. They are getting close though and definitely close enough that I have no desire or need to go back (though clean de was/is a heck of a rom).

Most Awesome feature is the ability to remap the buttons.
Getting better every day and tonight's build should have 100% working cameras in the nightly builds. No more experimental builds. I highly suggest cm10, haven't tried miui or aokp jb releases yet, been in cm10 for close to two weeks and can tell you it's really dd material now. Most kinks are gone, and battery life is usable even with wake locks. And with a new build everyday, only getting better constantly.

Cm10 is amazing....video camera is 100% as of the latest 8/31 nightly
Lte is an issue if u did not come from a sense 4.0.3 ROM such as stock 1.85 senseless 1.1 or clean ROM 4.0.
I never have issues with lte I never go into settings to change anything.
The one gripe is battery life is not as good as it was on sense first day on cm10 is worse it gets better every charge but its maybe 80-90% wat it was on sense. I still go the whole day 15+ hours and still have 40% batt I just charge every night now no big deal its worth it tho whole experience is so much better

Yeah building on what he said, CM10 is stable enough for a daily driver (and has been for awhile) as long as you don't need your video camera. Things break here and there but as long as you pay attention to the thread then you will know what to expect from what builds. And btw the streaming audio was fixed in 8-28, used it this morning.

you should also know that there is a low volume issue on calls. The person at the other end will hear you as if you were wispering if you talk normally.
I hate screaming at my phone. Developer has tried increasing the mic volume but than it brings in-call echo.
Hopefully they can get it squared away but be ready to talk loud or repeat yourself during phone calls. weird part is that SIP calls (like with Skype) works fine.
I am still running the ROM and loving it.

Hi guys I thought I'd share my rom experience and ask for general opinions on HTC sensation roms.
I have tried the following:
DarkForest sense 3.6 - Solid rom but not as smooth ARHD.
ARHD 6.8.0 - My current rom - I experience the best gaming performance on this. As far as I can see this is a better and more reliable version of stock. It also has the unique sense stuff - (slow motion camera, useful save SD space interface and the best battery life ect)
JBMIUIv4.1 - This is a very interesting rom that felt really fast and very iOS like. However it lacks an app draw which makes restoring apps from titanium backup a problem.
CM10 - Best rom with Jelly Bean. Awesome rom with a fast buttery interface. However the Trebuchet launcher begins to lag after a while, though swapping to Apex did improve this. Though it was faster than ARHD, games lagged more for some reason - perhaps it is not fully optimised for the sensation.
Ordroid - This was my first sense 4 rom. Also it is the most smooth sense rom I have ever tried. I loved this but unfortunately it is no longer supported so I am forced to move on.
Finally we have ViperS 1.3.5 This is certainly the most advanced of all the roms I have tried and brings a full sense 4 experience to the sensation. However before the sense 4.1 update it was almost unusable with more than 50 or so apps installed. The home screen lagged a lot. Now with the sense 4.1 update this has certainly improved and it is less laggy. I am unable to understand how it is still less responsive than Ordroid Even though Ordroid is supposedly from a less responsive version of sense. Maybe when the jelly bean update is released this will finally change.
So I now ask you guys: Which Sensation rom is your favorite and why? Also does anyone know why ARHD provides better gaming performance than any other rom?
i started from arhd 6.7.2, as it was the easiest custom rom to flash, closest to stock.
then i moved to viperS, 1.0.1 to 1.3.5. sense 4.1 definitely feels smoother, and i had no issue with 1.3.5.
after s-off, I tried paranoid android, it was cool but still experimental at that time, so I settled with hypernonsense and happy with it.
soon after, cyanogenmod 10 fixed the front camera bug, so I tried it (v4.1.2). i love the buttery smooth animations, replaced trebuchet with nova launcher. would have keep on using it as it was stable. alas the mms function is broken in my case.
so i finally return to using hypernonsense 3.5, and so far it has been great! the only thing i miss is theme customization (cyanogenmod theme spoiled me a bit), but the black & white looks good anyway.
i'm not a gamer, so i cant compare gaming performance between those roms. my highest antutu benchmark score is 8060, using vipers 1.3.5 and faux kernel with vsync disabled. on cm10, highest antutu score is around 5500.

Nova Launcher is slightly faster IMO, used both alot.
Even I've switched between roms.. but presently due to some constraints the flashoholic thingy is away.
I'm presently on viper s 1.3.5
Jb miui s89: wonderfully smooth... Butter
(And titanium backup even works without app drawer, as the op says it doesn't)
But Jb has some bugs surely...
Elegance:
1. Pegasus seemed cool with blue kinda stock but after installation the blue color didn't seem so awesome.
N I experienced random restarts after titanium backup restores(I don't know which app particularly created the issue)
2. Blitz: now that would be the best stock 3.6 sense rom I've tried.
I simply loved the camera app in it.
Though it looks almost similar to stock but the color contrasts, vibrancy in color, the dof, the macro photography capturing capability... Everything was superb.
I used it for quite a long time.
(The reason I'm not using it now... I dropped my phone from a height of 15 frets. And the screen started behaving erratically. Response faded, things I didn't click started getting activated.
Firstly I thought it's surely a hardware issue since I dropped the phone, but just random thought, I decided to restore the nandroid of viper s, and it worked like a charm.
I know it seems awkward to say hardware/screen issues vanishing by replacing rom, but that's what happened)
Hyper nonsense:a good smooth rom with minimalistic app but good library supports.
I've even tried other roms, but just mentioned a few.
Now I'm quite bored of the cm 9/10 look(trebuchet, apex n nova)
And even to an extent sense. Hoping some visual change in android soon.

Yeah, also Bruce's rom, got me laughing here, too, re: "hardly" typo, should be "hard" or "heartily".
@OP: you could improve your benches when using a different governor, e.g. "lagfree" instead of "badass" etc.
InsertCoin Evolution is a good rom too

Try this one >>>> Smartdroid Berserk 2.3
highly recommended :good:
I tried a few..
ARHD First ROM i flashed. WAS Great after 3.33 was released, things started to act up weird.. I got random reboots, the whole ROM was also laggy in the end. I gave up on it. Was a suberb ROM pre 3.33 release and super stable. This Rom also gave me best batterylife.
CM9 (stable) gave me horrid batterylife. I loved CyanogenRom´s back in the Nexus One / Gingerbread days but since then i have found them not that good..Until i got..
CM10 by Bruce2728.. which i am currently running. Gives me good batterylife, however some wakelocks is still there, but not that big a threat to my battery. Rom is Beta but works great to me on most parts.
Ordroid Best ROM i tried after ARHD. Stable, good batterylife. Good allrounder. How it is now, i dunno. I used it while it was still developed.
JBMIUIv4.1 Nice looking, but really not my thing. i prefer my ROM simple, hasslefree and with minimal 3rd party features. Something this has plenty off.
Tried Virtous as well long ago, but don´t remember how it was.
To me, best Rom right now is Bruce´s CM10.
CM 10
Bruce's CM10 ROM is the best sensation ROM for me. It utilises Jellybean, is so smooth and is near perfect in my opinion. Any small issues are being dealt with, with regular updates.
Also another great thing is that you no longer have to do a full wipe for the updates which is such a great bonus.
CM10
My first ROM was ARHD, then I try whit ViperS 1.3.5, then I past to Dark Forest... Actualy I'm using CM10 is pretty good. =)
My first rom is elegance pegasus with apex pro and I like it a lot better that stock. i will try Bruces's CM10 rom next after reading these helpful posts.
I also use Bruce's CM10 ROM. Minor bugs, nothing which renders the phone unusable. It might enter the nightly phase soon.

I use CM10 by Bruce. It's wonderful, only Wifi signal is low. No further issues.
Bought this phone second hand, was already installed with Elegancia rom. Nice Rom, but I just like CM!
I'm using Bruce's cm10,the rom is nice looking but the scrolling is driving me nuts,how do you guys deal with it?
Hi, I'm new here on the Sensation users, got mine l less then a week ago, still need to s-off but unlocked bootloader and superuser are done. Smart flash allowed me to try some roms thanks for that, so here is me brief experience:
- team venom: very complete and one of the most updated I think, but the load of default configuration almost makes sensation crawl a bit sometimes. Not bad battery life but it's a unforgivefull rom, so it's justified. The most complete sense rom.
- miui jb : I like miui, used it before for a long time on my desire, the JB release is great. Fast, beautiful, highly customizable, no issues. If you're into something different it's a great alternative. You can add a app drawer if you miss it or just organize things with folders .
- JB AOKP: Using it now. Fast, clean, the AOKP customization makes it really something unique experience. Good battery life, good performance. I'm still on a flashing spree though, my opinion can change without notifications lol.

+1 for Frankinstine's JB aokp! Very fast and stable.
I am a sense lover, would flash team elegancia Rom's any day.Steve is a good dev.

My experience with CM10.0 on the Rogers HTC One X has not been very good! My first impression of the ROM was like WOW this is as buttery-smooth as advertised! I loved everything about it. But after 2 days of use I noticed the following:
1. My battery drains way faster than before
2. Google Navigation works for a minute than my 4G drops completely and naturally, navigation stops working as well.
3. My contact names stopped showing up on SMS. All my contacts were just represented by their phone numbers.
With all these horrible bugs, I had to go back to CleanROM. Which is really sad cuz I love Jellybean
What's your experience been like?

I have been using CM10 exclusively for about 3 months now so it's stable and has great battery life (easily 20 hours of normal usage for me). There are bugs but I have learned to either fix them on my own or live with them. It's way better than using Sense in my opinion. CM10.1 is my current ROM and I'm loving how responsive it is, so great things are coming!
Development for both CM10 and CM10.1 were halted basically all through December, and now that the devs are working with Android 4.2 I doubt there will be any groundbreaking improvements to CM10. h8rift is working hard on getting CM10.1 to a daily-driver state, though, so hopefully it won't be too long!

Where was the battery bug reported? I can't find it. Would like to follow progress on that front.

I think cm10 is good rom. You might need to switch off the gps and sync while not using it. Hope this help.
As long as I stick to wifi (or alternatively use 2g if I'm doing something low data rate like IM), cm10 works well for me.

also for #1 dont forget to turn NFC off wont drastically change it but itll help with battery
Ive use the stock one with sense and it worked great, but since i like to mod my phone i installed CM10 and its working good to, not perfect but good, the phone its really great and im happy using stock or cm10, this is a great phone :highfive:
My experience with cm10 is not good. Battery drains to fast ...
I'm able to get about 12-14 hours on CM10 pretty easily. For the guys who have sucky battery life, here is something to try. Once you install everything and give the ROM a couple of hours to settle, go into recover and do a backup, then wipe everything and then do a restore from the backup you just made. It's pretty much the equivalent of defragging your computer hard drive.
Every few weeks when my phone gets laggy or I feel like battery is draining I do this, and it picks right back up. This was recommended by Turge (HTC ONE X Venom Developer) and it works really well for me.

You haven't used an AOSP ROM that uses the 4.2 camera have you? It's not quite as good as the Sense camera but it's dang close. You can flash the 4.2 camera on Cm10. The thread is in the themes and apps section.
I've never actually used CM10 bit I've used tons of AOSP ROMs that are pretty much all based on CM10 and have none of the issues from the OP. I get great battery life, my gps works perfectly, and all my contacts show up perfectly as well. Maybe give another ROM a try. I use JellyBam with Rohan's kernel and it's just about perfect.

I've found battery life to be reasonable, especially on wifi. Make sure to turn location settings such as background reporting off. These drain battery life tremendously. Also I have found the sense camera to be far better.
I have had similar problems:
- since the sept 13th nightly mms photo previews is broken.
- camera in panorama mode crashes the whole os sometimes
- battery life could be better
- I've noticed bugs when trying to search contacts in the phone app via dial pad (hanging until I restart the phone app )
That's all I can recall. Overall cm is very nice though and I love the speed and having google now. These are bugs I've noticed in the stable version.
Battery drain is awful on all non-Sense based ROMs. You need to disable almost every useful service on the phone to get a long full day out of it. THis is one of the reasons I went back to running Viper (de-Sensed) with Nova. Battery is MUCH better :good:
I have had most of the issue mentioned above as well as rebooting multiple times a day

I fully agree, it seems to me like Sense ROM's are the only way to go if battery life is a concern. After using the official CM10 rom and variants like JellyBam and comparing them to ViperXL, there's just no contest. Non-Sense roms just aren't optimized well. Things like wakelock issues really put a dent in expected battery life.
That said, the AOSP theme just looks better. I can't get over how ugly the pattern unlock is for sense compared to AOSP!
AOSP is just cleaner, more refined, and more current. I hope battery improvements can be made, but I really doubt it'll be anytime soon.
I have been using CM10 since November, and I never have any GPS problem. Battery isn't bad, as long as it lasts full day I am fine with it.
