What's the general consensus on the JB leak?

I know the leak is out there in the dev section, but I'm having trouble getting a feeling or consensus on the quality of the rom. In particular, I'm most concerned with battery life and general crashing/incompatibilities that might occur going about basic operations. Anyone care to share their experience so far? Is it more worth waiting til Jan/Feb when I'm guessing Verizon might finally release JB?

I've been running the CleanRom ULE version of this since the day it was posted and love it. Quite noticeably faster and smoother than ICS. GPS lock is faster than it ever was on ICS. Mobile data is the same as it was - I'm in a pretty good 4G area and have no problems. One thing I have noticed is that Wifi is pickier when I'm on the fringe of the signal. Some places where I used to be able to connect, I can't any more. But if I'm in a stronger signal area it's just fine.

I hate that my notification bar isn't straight black. It's like, off black but not quite grey.

Lol, I thought I was the only one who cared about that.....kinda annoys me.
Other than that, it runs super great for me. I was on it for the first three days or so, but needed my cm10 fix again. Its so good that I usually spend about half my week cm10, half on one of the jb leaks.

VRBLI5 JellyBean is better in certain areas and worse in others compared to ICS...overall I would give it a slight edge. I bet the official update will polish things up a bit. You have to remember the JB leak is dated oct. 8th. There was a reason it did not make it as a official ota...its still pretty good for a leak, definately not complaining by anymeans. :good:

The one from incubus hadn't given me a single problem yet. I think my battery life actually improved. After about 11 hrs yesterday mine was still at 30% (Bluetooth on, brightness up).

I think it's great. I'm using Synergy, which I think is excellent (always has been). If you use this ROM, you should also flash the radio update (I5) and RPM (power management) update. The radio is definitely improved - I'm not having my calls constantly dropped anymore in below-average signal locations!! Very happy with this update.

I flashed the Incubus RLS11 yesterday and it ran fine for a while. Things were smooth. Didn't notice any problems.
I'm in the sticks but I get pretty good LTE. To make sure I don't lose it when I need it I use the Phone Info app to go LTE only. That worked great on stock or stock-rooted-unlocked. It even worked good on CM10 and AOKP-M1. But for some reason on the Incubus ROM I started having real problems.
I tried forcing LTE only which would work for a few seconds and then would switch back automatically to the default LTE/CDMA/EvDo. After playing around with it some more it got stuck in CDMA auto (PRL) for a while and then GSM auto (PRL) and then EvDo only. It was really weird. I got tired of messing with it so I restored my stock image.
I didn't do the radios or RPM which was probably my problem. The links on the page I got the rom from were dead.
I'll try again, just didn't want to fool with it last night. Other than the radio issue it was real smooth. I'm a freak, I kinda really like TouchWiz. I was on stock or CM or KANG so much on my GNex, I'm enjoying the skinned experience. The biggest thing I miss from the GNex is JB though.

Been running JellyWiz RLS12 all week and it's been great. Battery life is same it was stock. Some have had issues with battery, but if you read through the thread for that ROM, I believe there are fixes. The only issue I have that is unresolved is I am not able to play movies or tv back through the Google Play Movies and TV app. The phone just reboots. Not a big deal for me right now, and Google Now easily makes up for it.

I have been running the lastest leak for two days now, the biggest changes I noticed, are the following
1. the Driving mode on/off toggle seems to have been removed from the pulldown bar, but driving mode itself is still there. (I downloaded a home screen widget to turn it on and off quickly)
2. The entire phone itself, from games, to movies, to youtube videos seems.....smoother and more refined (I blame Project Butter)
3. Slight battery life improvement :good:
4. if you use facial unlock, they moved the camera bypass from bottom to top right corner
My only complaint so far is that when I get a text message, missed call, voicemail I get the "Swipe over Icon to view the missed event" alert.
Don't get me wrong those nice little alerts help introduce to you new features of the phone. I don't mind them once or twice, but this specific one on the lock screen, I can't get rid of. Any ideas?

Under the wireless (WIFI) settings you have to disable "Avoid poor connections"..should help that

Have the same hotspot issues but otherwise it's pretty smooth. Very quick and yes I know everyone says that but it's not a placebo. I even put my phone back to stock because I need foxfi and it is considerable slower... Not slower but just not as quick to respond

Running Cleanrom 4.5 that is JB- Battery is awesome, rom feels fast and smooth.

These are the item I found wrong with the latest JB leak: (at least on my phone)
After an alarm goes off and you try and lock your phone, it won't lock. The screen will turn off but won't stay off. You have to unlock your phone to home screen then relock it.
New Samsung keyboard was incredibly laggy.
When trying to delete an extra home screen the phone would lock up and then say "touchwiz home has stopped working."
I don't think this was a bug but to get to the task manager, I had to hold down the home button for like 5 seconds!
There was another thing but I can't remember it. I was running the untouched leak, via Odin. I went back to stock.

[Q] Tab 2 7.0 P3110 Pre Root Question

Hi,
I just got a free tab 2 with a Samsung camera, and have given it to my son to use, playing Agent Dash it often lags to the point where its not really playable, but sometimes its fine which is bizzare, anyway I'm considering rooting it and putting a custom rom on which I'm guessing will help???
Question is If I put some rom on and custom recovery etc can I go back to a stock Samsung recovery and firmware and reset the flash counter should I wish?
Thanks in advance
edit. Also are there any roms which look similar to the Samsung stock one with touchwiz that would perform better?

I"d say you won't get any improvement. Sounds like a app problem. I"d send a note to the developer. There is little difference if any in performance between CM based JB and Stock. Are you on the stock JB ? There is a difference in performance between ICS and JB.
And no , there is no stock ROM that performs better. IN general I'd say the tab performs very well. and problems you see are usually poorly written apps.of which there are a lot

Yeah updated it as soon as I got it yesterday its on P3110XXCLK7, I had another one earlier in the week but that came and the box was smashed up so got it swapped, I only briefly tried that one but it seemed to play fine, I restored this one last night thinking that might help but its come back, I was playing it myself a few hours ago for about 20-30 mins and it was fine, put it on charge and then took it off charge and tried again and it started to lag big time.
If I flash the stock rom via odin over the top it wont affect the flash counter will it? Maybe something got buggered during the update? Having said that it only appears to be this app
I've put a clip of it on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K988t6tgNUM

Falshing stock ROM by Odin will not affect the counter.
I never experience lag on this tablet, but certain apps will mess up any device. If you are having a problem with only one app , check with the developer. if you are not sure what's slowing things down try a cpu analyzer and see what is eating your resources up..
A lot of games now access the web during the game to provide interactive play or offer to sell you things, that can often slow things down.

[Q] Is Lollipop still a dog?

Or should I install it on my Shield Tablet LTE?

Nope, it's still Lollipop. Google has pushed two fixes that kinda fix things but also create new problems, only one of which the Shield has gotten.
Also, if you like your current Gallery, remember to kiss it Goodbye as Lollipop uses the bloated Google+ for it. :/

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Damn, I didn't realize the gallery was gone until now. The new gallery doesn't seem to be too bad, but you're right in that it's bloated kinda.
Other than that, Lollipop seems to be an improvement over KitKat with regards to stability OP. I haven't had nearly as many issues with it. I'd say go for it.

On the bright side, Nvidia actually went out of their way to compile the email app... my Nexus sorely misses that. But hey, I've been using QuickPic for a while too, which is sufficient where Gallery is meh and Google+ just hurts.
Meanwhile, I'm pretty pleased with the direction the camera and its aftereffects editing have gone. It's not Picsay (or insert favorite editor here), but it's serviceable enough to not require an extra app.

So I'm beginning to see more reasons to upgrade to 5.0.1(?).
Is the only reason not to do so because of the aesthetics of using Google Drive for image storing?

I am thinking about going back to KitKat until there is a update to Lollipop which fixes the slowdowns I and others have.
Otherwise my main problem with Lollipop is that new volume control. To change the media volume you have to go to sound settings in settings menu. It's also too easy to turn of alarm sound by mistake with the new volume/notification control.
I remember reading an article at Android Central ago where they listed all bugs/missing features/problems with Lollipop. Well worth reading before updating.

Too late.
Just as well, so far it seems more stable for what I'm doing. I haven't seen any of the slowdowns you and others mention.

I use Quickpick as a replacement for the stock KK camera and it works really well. As for upgrade to 5.0.1, poeple is complaining about battery life and some miscellaneous thing, that's why i kept 5.0

5.01 is significantly smoother... Especially when you disable HW Overlay (Force GPU rendering).. I went back to KitKat due to the wonky battery stats / life of 5.01 and KitKat was a dog in comparison --- So I went back to 5.01. ANd its butter smooth in comparison - even Chrome is significantly improved on 501. The battery life / stats are still wonky but with my clean load of everything (reflashed everything) and rooted (removed all the ATT bloat) I have to say... I am loving the tablet much much more..
So my suggestion is to load a fresh version of KitKat (1.2 Nvidia Image) then perform a clean upgrade from there...

>even Chrome
With a fresh install approaching 80MB, that's a pretty impressive benchmark.
Yeah, Lollipop elsewhere might be trouble but I think Nvidia pulled it off.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Honestly, don't... I have been running lollipop since launch on my SHIELD LTE and now with 5.0.1, the number of minor bugs this has is simply mind bending. I have tried blaming it on pretty much everything but in truth all the stuff i use works heaps better in KitKat. Not to mention the Power drain, intermittent wifi, broken power control, rendering artefacts and so on and so forth. FYI none of this was an issue in kitkat for me and i have run it rooted and unrooted and with both locked and unlocked loader and pretty much anything i can think of, since I use EU/RoW software there is no bloating but even so i have tried removing anything and everything i could, to no improvement at all.
If you think nVidia did a good job on lollipop then i really don't want to see a bad job...

I agree... Other than performance Nvidia 2.1 (5.01 Andorid) has been a very poor quality build . However, Performance improved significantly (Antutu I gained 3k points just by going from 2.0 Nvidia to 2.1)
You can fix the artifact thing by Disabling HW overlay in Developers Options... pretty much all video glitches go away... WIFI is no better... I think they have a poor hardware design and wont be able to fix this with software. Battery Life is definitely worse and the battery stats are FUBAR. Regarding power control... I cant tell - honestly I dont see much difference when optimizing and not optimizing thus I guess they are broken.
I went back to KitKat and then went back to Lollipop - that tells you something right there

If i disable the overlay i get quite bad stuttering in animations in the places i had artefacts so between two bad things... I hate redoing a good setup but I will go back to kitkat & wait a good while for nV to sort out lollipop before going back.

I had the memory leak issue on 5.0.0, but 5.0.1 remedied every issue I had. I have no regrets about the update (except that I'm still unhappy with how the OS handles folder permissions because app developers are taking WAY too long to adapt to it).

Similar experience here, no issues on latest firmware.

I'm running 5.0.1 and I'm having battery drainage issues and major throttling when waking the device, even if my power management settings are set for max performance. Need to wait 10-20 seconds for commands to register.
I get one day of use out of the Tablet, would have to bring up the battery day for actual on screen time. I do use Chromecast quite a bit and play a lot of Hearthstone so... a day may be correct lol.
the biggest issue for me are the slow downs and random crashes though, just painful. Nothing angers while I'm having relax time than having Hearthstone crash while I'm laying down the hurt..... oh well, just a game.

I had the lovely memory leak issue pretty recently, and my tablet is definitely running 5.0.1. The OS is mediocre generally, with the processor still doing impressive heavy lifting, but when the system grinds to a total halt and not even the Home, Back, and Recent keys are disappearing or unresponsive, it's a bummer.
How about those software keys, huh? Twice as prone to failure in tight situations. Deciding to not register touches, being frozen, disappearing, etc... a brilliant choice.

[Q] Slow performance on Lolipop

Hi everyone,
So i've tried 2 lolipop roms now (currently on the resurrection remix) and i'm experiencing very slow performance on all of them. Typical scenario i'm in an app (lets say chrome) i hit the center home button and then the app drawer button; its taking forever to show the apps and sometimes i will just get a black screen. Just earlier i went into settings and after clicking something it took a few seconds to actually register. I dont remember experiencing this slowness on kitkat or jellybean for that matter. Is it just me?

No you are not.
I am experiencing the same and i am thinking everyone is experiencing this.
I would guess it's a Ram problem, cause thats the reason for all performance problems i had on this Phone, it has always been Ram/Ram-Management.
Take a look at the develpoment Page of CM12.
On the last Pages it seems like C has found a way to make this Rom really really Snappy, but he is still in testing.
Let's hope he will publish it soon.

its as good as the CM versions were a month or so ago. It seems the lollipop performance has dropped off lately as they've added in additional features. I'm on that rom right now because another one became unusable, but its got the same issues as other LP roms, namely multi-tasking and occasional awful performance (but yes, its probably the best of the bunch right now today as far as current roms go).
I'm seriously considering dropping back to KK

The memory leaks are to blame. Its not even device specific. They are trying to work on it. Word is CM12.1 should fix it, but i've heard mixed reviews on that. But yes, CM11 might be the best bet.

5.1 fixes this
I just installed 5.1 by epinter and I have to say it runs amazingly fast, smooth and stable.
Everything that bugged me out is gone.
You can keep Whatsapp, Chrome and Maps in Memory - it's just awesome.
It's also very snappy and apps start a lot faster.
And keep in mind this is the first attempt at porting 5.1.
Did I mention the battery lasts almost 50% longer as well at my first day of usage?

Same old touchwiz

I haven't touched a Samsung device since the galaxy s1 i9000 and have stuck to nexus phones since that time.
I thought I would give Samsung another blast this year and see if they have redeemed their selves over the years in regards to the amount of animation stutter and input lag since they claimed to have streamlined TW and have started using their own processors to make everything work in harmony etc.
The phone itself is really really great and I quite like it but I again am still getting animation stutter all over the place.
Scrolling in play store is horrible. The simple tasks of pressing between the tabs in the dialer is the worst out of them all them and really has terrible animation and most apps stutter like mad where my old nexus 5 was nice and smooth which I can only blame TW for. Even the keyboard goes nuts if you try to look through the emojis. There's no excuse for this in this day and age with what this phone is packing.
Is it just my device or is anyone else getting a lot of stutter etc on their device?
Is their anything that can be done to solve the issue other than swap the phone

5.1 kinda made this issue a lot worse! I set animation in dev option to 0.5x and it helps a little!

You can try a custom ROM. You often get a much better performance with it. Or try to root and uninstall bloatware. Hope this helps.

1. Use the first link if you want to keep your warranty safe.
2 A nice, clean, fast ROM you can use (it's the one i'm currently using) also, I would like to give back-to-n0t3 a shot soon.

Note 5 user here. Same issues on this device It's really disappointing Scrolling lag is so much higher than on my OPO.

I have no lag at all on mine running 5.1.1 - I'm usually pretty sensitive to it!

Please don't withhold all information. First link's method only works on S6 variants G92XF/T. It does not work on other variants and if attempted will cause a soft brick. For other variants of S6 on 5.1.1 there is no way to root or install custom kernels without tripping Knox.
On the subject of lag, proper usage of the phone and knowing how to free up RAM can reduce lag on your phone. Examples include clearing recent activities, using Smart Manager to "clean up" background activities and rebooting the phone every few days. With root you can use more efficient methods like Titanium Backup to freeze apps and Greenify to kill background processes. Don't just sit there complaining about lag this and lag that, go and read up on how to free up RAM on your phone and reduce lag on it.
