Just wanted to give my experience of flashing to the JB 4.1.1 CleanRom 4.0. I was on stock, everything running fine, batterly life is great, but got the flashing itch and was waiting on JB. Saw the preliminary post on the forums and everything looked ok for the leaked 4.1.1 and decided to flash it. My impression was it was ok, nothing special and whats worst, my battery life became horrible. Some sort of bug about media wakelock etc...
I stayed on it for 2 days and decided to flash back to my nandroid backup.(thank god I did it)
So for now, think Imma stay put on flashing until things settles a bit.
BTW, yes I did flash the latest radios on the leaked 4.1.1. I'm back on the HE radios now.
Did you flash the RPM file that comes with every JB Rom? I haven't had any issues with battery wake time, I have seen my battery go even farther with the update im on Synergy build 90. Only issue I have is GPS and im too busy to fully troubleshoot it
Yup, flashed the leaked radios along with the RPM. Followed the OP directions to the dot.
I might try Jellywiz. Give it another shot.
yea i went back to ics aswell...battery on touchwiz jelly is half of what i get on ics. the main thing is the lag that sets in after a day or two of using 4.1. i suspect it will be fixed soon when the official update is dropped.

JB is SUBSTANTIALLY better than ICS. You can instantly notice a speed difference when you switch from ICS to JB. Did you do a full wipe when installing??

Nope I dirty flashed then went around bashing the rom just like all the noobs do.
Cmon bro really?
Of course I did a full wipe...you realize I preach this stuff to new users daily? I have a guide in the dev section that preaches the correct methods to flashing. you really think I would make a post like my previous without covering my bases? JellyBean is not substantially better... The bottom line is battery life is far worse on jellybean. the touch screen is less accurate and sometimes takes multiple touches to respond. Like I said im sure these couple minor issues will be corrected in the official release.

I had some problems before with the media wakelock issue, but not with this new leak. The fix was to disable the media scanner, reboot, charge all the way up to 100% and then enable the scanner.

Haha I figured lol. Yea I disabled media scanner and all that, battery life is tolerable but nothing like what I was getting on beans ICS. My main gripe with Jellybean is how less responsive and accurate the touch screen is. Its also this way on AOSP. Lets say you open the browser and log on to xda. If you try and tap the little arrow that jumps to the last post, it will take 3-4 tries. On ICS the touchscreen accuracy is pinpoint. I browse the web alot thru the browser, so thats a big issue for me. Everything else including the media is not a big deal...I guess I could of been a little more clear on that in my previous post.

Have you tried the ROM that Alex posted? It is just the stock deoxed version with nothing extra added, but is working great for me. I have yet to see the first issue with this ROM. Battery is about the same as ICS but the signal its noticeably better. I now have service in places that I was having trouble with before. Touch screen is very responsive with no lag and its very accurate and registers the moment I touch the screen.
Hopefully, they will release the final build soon so that everyone can get some JB love!
Edit: I have been running this ROM since the day it was released. The battery was pretty bad for the 1st day. Other than that, all was/is good.

I'm not seeing the issues you reported. Battery life on the S3 is great as a whole, although I do carry and extra battery (Qcell - I actually use two and never use the OEM battery). I've noticed absolutely no change in battery life to speak of. I did a full wipe from JellyBomb to Jellywiz Rls 11, dirty flashed 12, no issues.
Everything is buttery smooth for me. No lag or lack of sensitivity. My only complaint is the notification bug on the lockscreen. Every time I received a text, the lock screen would show the tutorial again. That's easily fixed by freezing some system apps.
I don't think I'll ever run another ICS rom again. JB will only get better.

I'm curious did you go back to stock ICS or stock JB(ie. the JB leak that has been minimally tampered with Jellywiz11 or this version here ). I have found that both of these, essentially only modified by rooting, are superior to any of the heavily custimized roms out there.
Of the heavily modded roms I've tried Jellywiz12, CleanRom 4.0 and SynergyROM. Of the 3, I would argue that CleanRom 4.0 is the least impresseive in terms of stability and performance. IMO SynergyROM is currently the leader in the clubhouse, though Jellywiz12 isn't too far behind.
Its strange how experiences can vary so greatly from device to device. In honesty Ive been running Clean ROM 4.0 for days and have noticed no increased battery drain, lack of touch screen precision, data connection problems, GPS problems, or lag of any kind. My phone is the fastest its ever been.
For me its been the best ROM Ive ever run.
It is weird how experiences differ from device to device. I flashed the jelly bean leak from Incubus (rl 11) and I have had no issues. Battery life seems normal with the display taking up most of the usage which is normal. GPS works great...everything works great...no issues. I just installed the leaked rom and did not flash any new or different radios. I'm still on HE

if your talking about ule cleanrom then yes its the second rom i tried after jellywiz...i even reformatted internal sd and flashed his rom. lag starts after a day or 2 with no reboot. when i say bad battery life im talking about 15hrs with 2.5-3hrs screen on. on ics i get 24-30hrs with 4.5+hrs screen on. jellybean is not terrible in anyway...but i do think its been way over hyped.

No, not Clean-ROM, there is a thread by Alex C. that is basically the stock image with root, etc. Try flashing it and I also flash Kinda Crap mods and all its good. You, as you know, have to de-bloat.

ok ill check out...thx
I posted a list of stuff I froze in cleanrom 4.0 in the clean rom thread. After freezing that stuff I have no media drain or lag. Battery is similar to ICS but I have only had this setup for two days so it's too early to give a definite result yet.
Edit: two things for people to try who have battery issues
1. Disable Picasa sync. This is done under your Google account.
2. Disable these programs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33723996#post33723996

DRAMATICALLY better battery.
I went from having a dead battery by the time I was finished work with almost zero use to having 80% with minor use.
Where can I install it for my i727r? I'm using super lite 5.0 with uclac4. (5 fcs like crazy)
And my battery is terrible. Dead by 4 pm every day

u must either a) have really bad signal or b) are syncing a lot of background data (email etc...), cuz I'm getting 24 hours+ with 3 hours onscreen time with superlite 5.1.
That being said seanscreamz new sky ics - the real thing is based off ucld2, which is the new base. Check the dev section
I am using team perfection the latest release. It's not too bad I can use my phone and actually use my phone for about 10 hours. I've never actually tried to see how much battery up time I have had for a while but I can update later today.
One thing though is with any ICS release it seems like we will have issues with callerid. It might be different with seanscream's newest release with that new radio but I haven't had time to flash it.

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.

While I would love for it to be as simple as reading the directions and following, i have done that maybe 50 times with teamdrh as well as smooth and black bean. Same thing every time. It's an issue that my hardware is slightly different than your hardware.

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.
Howdy hello,
I've been on my Nexus S since GB. Ever since I've rooted and been running custom ROMs. I've had some awesome experiences but some crappy ones at the same time, all of which I attributed to my phone running a custom ROM.
Now I've finally got the new, new stock JB on my device, and after running it for a few weeks, I'm a bit disappointed. The features are nice and all, but there are so many issues I face that make it near unusable. To name a few:
Google Now takes way too long to pull up. At least 5 seconds and even while it's loading the cards, it's very laggy. The search button used to be a quick way for me to search for something, but the is effectively ruined with this lag.
Constantly losing data / connectivity. I know this may be at the carrier level, but I've never had this much trouble. ALSO, in these cases, the phone will often be reporting that it has full bars / full 3g connectivity, so either way the phone is acting screwy. I mean seriously, the one thing I need my phone to do is make a damn phone call, yet it semi-frequently fails to do so.
Apps fail left and right. Today my youtube app crashed in the middle of the first video I pulled up on it. I know this isn't really the OS, but it's part of the stock experience, and I think android should be held responsible.
Just a few minor gripes. I'm just wondering: has anyone else experienced this? I did a full wipe before installing the stock JB rom, and I don't think it could just be root permissions making things go wacky. I may consider re-wiping and only installing a few apps, but I really don't have that much crap installed, so I'm not sure if that's the issue as well.
I saw another post recommending to get a new SIM card from AT&T. I have had mine for a few years, so that could be a possible fix for issue #2, but I don't think that's the entire reason.
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks a lot all.
Stock JB was very laggy on my NS for some reason. Even swipping pages in the home screen was laggy. Some apps would instantly crash, too.
I've been running custom JB roms on my Nexus S, and its been running really well. The only thing is im experiencing the same lag that you do with Google Now. It has caused me to open my browser to do a search, which is disappointing, because in GB and ICS, the Google Search bar was so quick and convenient.

I may consider re-wiping and only installing a few apps, but I really don't have that much crap installed, so I'm not sure if that's the issue as well.
I saw another post recommending to get a new SIM card from AT&T. I have had mine for a few years, so that could be a possible fix for issue #2, but I don't think that's the entire reason.
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks a lot all.

The cards could be taking longer to load because of your flaky connectivity. Can't expect them to load instantly if your data/signal is dying all the time, can you?
Definitely an inferior experience here on stock JB compared to ICS. Really hope Google fix this in an incremental update, as it's a bit silly their second-best phone can't run JB properly.

heh, that's a fair point. I'm not so upset with the cards taking a long time to load as I am that, while they are loading, the OS is very unstable. It's difficult for me to bring up the keyboard and search google while it's trying to load those cards. I can't believe it's not butter

My thoughts exactly . I was excited to get back on stock so I could have a functional phone without any added bells and whistles. New features are nice, but not at this price.
Try running a custom kernel.. Try the thalamus kernel its very stockish and it's SUPER smooth..

I had problems with JB too. There were a few lags, especially with Google Now. Some apps would crash every time I tried to open them, and the launcher crashed every time I tried to change wall paper.

Howdy hello,
I've been on my Nexus S since GB. Ever since I've rooted and been running custom ROMs. I've had some awesome experiences but some crappy ones at the same time, all of which I attributed to my phone running a custom ROM.
Now I've finally got the new, new stock JB on my device, and after running it for a few weeks, I'm a bit disappointed. The features are nice and all, but there are so many issues I face that make it near unusable. To name a few:
Google Now takes way too long to pull up. At least 5 seconds and even while it's loading the cards, it's very laggy. The search button used to be a quick way for me to search for something, but the is effectively ruined with this lag.
Constantly losing data / connectivity. I know this may be at the carrier level, but I've never had this much trouble. ALSO, in these cases, the phone will often be reporting that it has full bars / full 3g connectivity, so either way the phone is acting screwy. I mean seriously, the one thing I need my phone to do is make a damn phone call, yet it semi-frequently fails to do so.
Apps fail left and right. Today my youtube app crashed in the middle of the first video I pulled up on it. I know this isn't really the OS, but it's part of the stock experience, and I think android should be held responsible.

Hmm I can say that AOSP JB is WAYYYY better than ICS. Soon I can port my ROM from the NS4G to the NS.
I have to agree with this. I've used stock JB when it was released, I was wowed by it's smoothness and cool animations. But everything felt a little slow and sluggish coming from ICS custom rom. After switching to Jellybro, JB feels both very fast and smooth. If you feel disappointed with JB, try using custom rom.

I don't know if you guys with problem tried that yet, but it might be a good idea to do a factory reset. You will lose all your data if not backed up but I'm getting a feeling it could help. JB has only been smoother than ICS for most.
Looking to get an NS soon, but it may help, as others have mentioned to run a custom kernel and bump up the clock speeds a bit.
My N1 is almost perfectly smooth (very little lag and often times none) with JB installed and overclocked.
My GNEX is smooth as butter. (As to be expected). But I guess what I'm saying is, if the N1 can run JB smooth, then the NS should not have any problems.
And while I know AOSP is technically designed to run on multiple devices, only two were in mind when JB was released....the N7 and the GNEX. Everything else is an afterthought in which AOSP may not be fully optimized for the hardware that is pushing it. (Just my opinion).
And another opinion while I'm on my soap box. JB is what ICS should have been.
In my opinion 512 MB of RAM are a tight fit for Jelly Bean. I can just run 3-4 background apps without kill-restart-kill-restart-kill-restart and a constant lag.
I remember some kernels used to have compcache support. Maybe I could try to enable compcache/zram.

I just got my GNex and the difference with JB on this phone is night and day. I didn't think it would be but I'm pleasantly surprised. But yeah. The RAM issue seems to be my biggest gripe with it on the NS. And for some reason, it just dominated my battery. I went through my first cycle on stock with Trinity and managed 3.5 hours of screen time over the course of almost 17 hours and still had a little under 50% remaining. My NS would've been dead long before that with the same usage pattern.....
I run stock JB with Matr1x. It works very very well.

Not to mention it only uses 368 mb of them. If it used the full 512, it would be pretty nice
I'm running Androxide 3.1 and used to run AdamG's custom ROM. Both ran great, no hiccups what so ever, Google now loads very fast, I guess it depends on your GPS and internet connection. My experience with JB is far better than the fastest ICS ROM out there, I believe given enough time, performance will become exceptional.

That can be tweaked a bit with different kernels.
I am running XenonHD 9 + marmite 4.2 kernel. It's stable and smooth. Worth a try.
Can someone explain what the heck is wrong with chrome glitching out with jellybean. I get massive graphic errors, weird lines, keyboard disappearing along other strange occurrences, anyone else

I just don't think they've integrated it properly.
I'm gutted as I love Chrome.
Saying that tho... I love JB more so I'm happy using the stock browser for now.

Yeah, this is, unfortunately, still happening on bruce2728 cm10 build.

I specifically mean the 9/28 build
Chrome
Yeah Im on Bruce's 28 build and having issues, and yeah supposedly its Chrome's problem not the ROM's.
Yup I get these issues on Bruce's too. I think it's definitely Chrome's issues with the Sensation's GPU or something. Doesn't happen on other phones running CM10 as far as I know.
I'm having the same problem with HD2 running JB, on top of the same problem on my Sensation. It seems like an issue with the Adreno drivers on JB. But the thing I can't understand is why it only affects Chrome and no other software, including all other browsers I have tried.
BTW, the latest CM10 build (dated 6 Nov 12) glitches a lot less than the older builds. There is still some problems, particularly with scrolling and opening new tabs, but it is at least usable now.

Hi, I was wondering what in your opinion is the most stable JB rom? My parents and I all have a Skyrcocket, and they have been on CM9 for a while now. They don't know much about how to use their phones, so that is why I got them a stable version of CM9 last summer, while I have been on JB since it came out.
I have tried a wide variety of JB roms, but I know how to use them all well and what to do in case of most issues, even minor ones such as having no connectivity on reboot. My parents however get really confused when stuff like this happens, and don't even think to reboot, even though I have told them about how to fix it numerous times. On the CM9 they have, stuff like this never happens and it all is pretty stable.
However, my mom recently started having random problems on CM9, so i upgraded her to the latest stable CM10 and installed gapps, UCLK4 radio, which works the best for me, and lightning zap kernel. Now she is having weird problems like her camera not working due to the error 'no external storage present,' which i have encountered on another jb rom before, and reflashed a different one to fix it. i just tried slim bean 3.1 for a while to test for her, and i get weird stuff like the no connectivity on boot issue i mentioned before, which can be fixed with a reboot, but is too big of a problem for my parents to handle. i also tried cm9 the latest nightly just yesterday, and am experiencing some weird minor issues as well.
i even thought about going back to ics, although she would prefer to upgrade if possible. and i thought about flashing the latest att jb leak, but i figured that would most likely have even more issues, haha.
so does anyone think there is a jb rom out now that is as stable as cm9 ics was? thanks!
Just put them back to stock. You're nuts putting a custom rom on someone's phone who isn't into the issues they have. They all have something that doesn't work as you'd expect.

I think you have to read through the threads and see which one(s) fit your needs best, then try those ROMs for yourself instead of starting a best thread.

I'm with you, i like official roms, I personally like HTC phones before using my skyrocket (ROMS work great on HTC and stock ROMS are also great), the official ICS on skyrocket sucks big time (to laggy), but I still like it better than custom.

Install official ICS to them, no more problems, but on the downside, a lot of lag will be present!!!
From the moderator
DO your research on this as it really is a personal decision. As stated by others all roms have something that is buggy. My personal take if they are not into customizing but want good battery life, and the basics to work well and do not need a bunch of bells and whistles you might try AOKP roms as they work well and are easy to configure for a novice.
That said, there are way to many "Best rom" threads..... So
