[Q] Best Running JB ROM Available.

Question of Curiosity, And of course, Preference
Im Considering Changing up roms Eventually, I use my phone quite frequently,
Tubing, Browsing the Web. and Music, Occasionally ill get my self addicted to a game i have an extended battery of course.
I do happen to text more frequently then others
i would like to know what the forum users of XDA Choose as their roms of their picking
I personally am having great expectations of JellyBelly

Hopefully v4 won't disappoint your great expectations

I'm sure jellbelly will meet or exceed expectations. I have been trying all the JB builds in this forum and it is the smoothest running so far. I have had issues with them all locking up sometimes but this one does it the least and is the only one that hasn't forced a battery pull.

I personally use newSENSE and ICS. I find cm10 to be too unstable.

I've Used, JellyBelly for a bit it still has the keyboard issue where if you hit the cap button once it will lock into All CAPS For the whole message and you have to toggle it many times to get it to unlock from caps or you just have to Hold the Shift ( Cap ) Button to Cap a letter and let it go.
I've also ran into a few problems . with the FN some Options such as the _ Underscore will not appear in some log in Selection boxes. i have to manually go to my soft touch keyboard and key it in by long pressing the Symbol.
None the less dont get me wrong its a great rom hands down. I would like to see those little kinks worked out.

Sorry man, but that's the way the keyboard is on JB, you gotta hold the shift or fn key down like on the computer.

It has been that way for me on every JB ROM, with random times that it works correctly... IDK. Either way, I will probably not be doing any more work on JB until it is less buggy. It's just a headache when bugs pop up out of nowhere, some of the weird bugs aren't ROM specific either. Sorry guys, but it kinda takes the fun out of it when you are constantly fixing bugs. I may do one more update, but I don't know when that will be. For now I'll let the devs that are more talented than me see if they can work out some kinks, my main objective with JellyBelly was to reduce the lag so JB was more usable.

I first tried out kushdeck's CM10 for the evoSHIFT! but found that very unstable. Constantly hangs and the phone would reboot.
Using bilgerryan's JellyBelly-CM10 v4 and it does still hang for a minute at times in the same places as kushdeck's. Primarily happens throughout settings such as viewing APPS then selecting something also SystemUI hangs.

Keep your eyes peeled for V6 of bilgerryan's JB ROM. Testing is going very nicely! I had similar freeze issues with previous versions, but I think he just about has the kinks worked out.

I tried V6 just now, unfortunately I am not able to post in the thread as my account has less than 10 posts but I have run into a few issues with it thus far. The animations and scrolling are very choppy, this may be related to the "screen flickering" problems listed so i'll have to check the build.prop and make sure everything is as it is supposed to be there. As well, i've ran into a bug where upon backing out of the camera (which I use frequently), all icons and widgets vanish until phone reboot. That's quite a big problem! It's a fast ROM no doubt, and probably the best JB based ROM we have ATM.

Did you do a full wipe as described in this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266885

I did! Extra carefully making sure to wipe everything as usual - this is my second or third ROM flash and only the first time I've seen something like this. After the phone reboot I tried to force the camera bug again so I could screenshot it for bilgerryan but it hasn't shown back up yet. Will be continuing to test, really loving this room so far I just wish it was as smooth as the one I was using previously (RemICS-UX ReVamped).

I guess it could be a bad dl. You might try down loading again over WiFi or hard line then reflashing.

Install a cache cleaner on Play Store and if it starts getting laggy clear your cache. There are a few of them that are one click and done. Plus you gotta let this ROM settle for a bit.

Will give it a shot after I set aside some time and check the build.prop gpu tweak you mentioned in the topic, even though that may be outdated and no longer needed by v6. I did however have the camera back-out glitch happen again. When leaving the camera, no icons or widgets render. I was able to fix it this time by reopening the camera from the lock screen and backing out, but still very irritating and interesting behavior.

Yeah it should not be needed in v6.. What are your CPU settings? If you haven't overclocked it you might wanna set it at 1.2 or 1.3 GHz. I haven't been able to reproduce the camera thing you are talking about. Chad might be right. Looks like a bad download.

Discussion about official JB update...

For begining, I want to say that i love new Sense Keyboard.

Busybox
Hi
Just updated via OTA, reinstalled CWM_Recovery and installed superSU 0.99.
Phone is rooted once again but it seems like busybox is unable to install, tried a few different versions and none seem to stick, a few even causes a crash/reboot of the phone.
Have a few programs that are reliant on Busybox to function.
Am i the only one with this problem ?

I think the update is rubbish. If anything its not as smooth as the Ics update, project butter must be a vanilla only experience because there is no way it's buttery smooth
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I'm really annoyed about the new keyboard layout which was an utterly unnecessary change. Not to mention that the keyboard is somewhat laggy. Apart from that it's fine and I could live with it if I would get back full root functionality.
By the way, has anyone solved their root issues (SuperSU, Busybox, and a couple other apps and tools not working) yet?

Nope I'm also having the same issues. After reading over the superSU thread it seems like HTC have done something to prevent system changes so it's basically a case of waiting until some devs find a work around

Is there an app to reorder the notifications in the notificationbar? I have 2 apps as trigger and new notifications are in the middle of these apps. I want new notifications at bottom.

Haven't got the update yet, but I'd like to know if they solved the touchbutton issue? And does USB OTG work now without extra cables? The only 2 things I'm missing.

Touch button issue is better so far but cannot say for sure that it is fixed, since now we have the Google now issue but not as frequently as before.
The new issue for me after the update is that the hands-free control is not customisable through apps after update, only single click function works for me, no track skipping or volume control

The worst update I've made on any phone....ever!
I need to downgrade ASAP, however, because I'm a relative noob and I'm unrooted I need some assistance. Any advice will be appreciated.

Just installed and had 10 minutes with it. To me my phone definitely seems a little quicker and more responsive, might just be me being excited about new stuff though! I use Swiftkey so never touch the Sense keyboard, I just gave the new one a quick go and switched back to Swiftkey, I can type on it almost as quick as a real keyboard so it would take something amazing to shift me from it. I like what I see of Google Now so far, we'll see how it pans out though. The camera changes seem good, fairly subtle differences but I think it's quicker too. I like the power saver mode, think that will be a useful one. Switching off data when the screen is off is a great feature.
So far, so good.

Which processor do you have? S3 or S4? And have you played any games on it? Subway Surfer was quite quick and smooth on ICS, with Jellybean it's like a buffering movie on one of them crappy Chinese servers....

I noticed that! Subway surfer was laggy on the JB update. Restored my ICS rom and it's smooth as butter. WTF! And it's bound to be s4 because the s3 doesn't have it yet

I am pretty fond of the new No-Lockscreen option. Something I have missed from the AOSP versions, probably the only reason I will stick with sense on JB.

Not sure, but since data is off while screen off, how come I receive my whatsapp messages, emails n stuff? I am just curious, since I read about power saver a while ago in One X forum, but forgot that and you reminded it to me.
P.s: I have power saver on since the update

Kitkat or L what do you prefer?

When I installed L first time on my Nexus 4 I loved it, it was epic, I had it since first day it was ported, then I bought nexus 5 and installed it ,and I noticed that kitkat has faster Ui. L has weird rule which it opens something u click after the material animation is done which makes phone look slow plus it's so annoying and on nexus 4 it was perfect because it wasn't as fast as nexus 5, weird, I think I'm going to stay on kitkat :/

Tried the L preview and I switched back to KK for some app issues. When the final images will get released I will switch back to L though.

kitkat for me. it runs all my apps, has better battery and no 'puke on the screen' weird colours.
also i agree with op about the weird feel the lollipop preview has

46k benchmark with Android Lollipop stock rom and ElementalX kernel @2.6Ghz very fast at least as Kitkat. Using as daily driver and love it. Will stay with the preview and the Stock rom waiting a MahdiRom version of Lollipop.

I know, app opening is fast and fluid but when you go through Ui like opening about phone in Settings it won't open it until animation is done.

you always have an option of making the animations faster, or turning them off completely. again, that is your choice to make.

No the issue is that phone won't do task until the animation is done which makes phone look slow, on kitkat as you click it whites a bar little bit and goes in immediately.

Same. Missing loads of features on KK slim but its worth it. Smoother and faster. I. Even getting used to.lighter backgrounds and I like the material tones.
Good ROM all in all and can only get better.

MX Player beta still don't support lastest L preview.
I use VLCPlayer instead.

Not as expected

I got my Mi4C four days ago.
I already flashed TWRP and installed latest stable ROM from xiaomi.eu.
But even if the display quality is great, the speaker is awesome and the MIUI itself is still amazing.. the device isn't as fast as i was expecting.
The most tedious moment is when i'm writing a message (either sms, whatsapp or telegram). It's like the vibration is delayed and sometimes typed letters appears all together after 1 or 2 seconds instead of appearing one by one as i write them. I was expecting more from a hexacore snapdragon bloody super powerful processor... I mean, my old Nexus 4 with Minimal OS (Android 6.0) was incredibly faster while typing.
Ok, the Nexus 4 also took incredibly ugly photos and opening an app required more time than on Mi4C but the overall experience was more fluid.
Do you have the same feeling? or it just meets your needs?

To be honest, i have never experienced any delays while typing. On mine everything is buttery smooth (and i write a lot)
I think its the bloatware or the keyboard that comes with the China stable Rom. I would suggest to install Xiaomi.eu Rom or sMIUI. You will see how fast it is without all those China Apps

I'll wait for the next update on xiaomi.eu. Maybe it will be a little faster (it's nothing terrible but when i'm writing a long message its kinda annoying)
In the meantime, if anyone know how to check the authenticity of the device, please tell me.

I also noticed the keyboard lag on miui eu ROMs. I guess it'll get ironed out eventually.

Solved! (enabling "record audio" in permissions settings) Thank you.

Well.. that's weird. I let one of my friends try typing with my device and he confirmed that it feel like "delayed".
You barely notice it when you type one or two letters but with long words or even long messages it becomes a thing.

Is there anything i can check to understand if there is some performance issue?
how much should the Antutu score be? or how do i check if the device is original? (it actually looks like a legit Mi4C since everything appears as it should be..)

First i would try 1 or 2 other Keyboards, if there is no such issue, you could look in settings, language and input, spell checker, click on the little world icon and disable " look for contact names". And you can open the Google keyboard settings, advanced, key popup dismiss delay and set it to "no delay".

Good to hear that now you can look what was the cause when you re-enable the things you have disabled, but just one after another. I think its the contact names thing, or Google suggestions.

It looks like the major delay is caused by the "spell checker" in "language and input" settings.
Some minor delays also come with "Suggest contact names" and "Next-word suggestions" in the Google Keyboard Settings.
Didn't understand if "Show correction suggestions" and "Auto-correction" have a part on this trouble yet.

I am on CM 12 right now but when i had the Chinese dev ROM i had no problems either. You might want to try flashing that.

I tried the original stable ROM from en.miui and I had problems with PlayStore. I did install it successfully using the GoogleInstaller apk but every app showed the msg "Your device is not compatible".
I think i'm gonna try the last weekly build from xiaomi.eu. (Do you think i can dirty-flash it? i'm running the last stable rom from xiaomi.eu)
Would like to wait for a stable CM13 before switching to CM (just to enjoy MIUI a bit more )

Just remind,
why we should update to nougut ????
I mean beside the new UI there are no sig. Changes .
Also, doesnt worth losing the root mods and all cool features of our stable marshmallow rom .

The new gui is no improvement but it DOES have some nice new features like downscaling your resolution to save battery and the screen filter.

i do like the new gui.
third party Always on display with double tap
new way of showing notifications in nougat
for me its a big improvement over marshmallow
I'm using NOva launcher so no idea if the launcher itself has changed

I don't mean to hijack the thread as such, I just don't want to start another thread for a similar question!
Is Nougut beta stable for you guys who have it installed? Very tempted to install it along with a pixel launcher apk
It's been a good 3 years since I last messed with my phone in this way. I miss it!

Stable to a point, it's usable daily, but far from Marshmallow in terms of stability and polish
Things like WhatsApp voice messages have problems with low microphone volume, Camera quality is worse particularly for RAW
Basically you can definitely tell it's unfinished and unoptimised

Thanks!
So I basically use my phone for gaming, phone, text, alarm and social media, occasionally the odd picture.
From what you say, I wouldn't notice anything that's too unstable. Is that correct?
I'm sorry for coming across like a complete noob, because I pretty much am. It's been 3 years (and 3 XDA accounts later!) since I last messed with phones in this way.

Does Always On Display supports third party apps notification in Nougat?

Seemed stable enough to do all that for a couple of days for me, although I didn't test the alarm, might want a backup alarm just in case if it's for work

I've used Google pixel edition2.x on my s7 flat almost a week now and im really loving it. Only problem i have is that i lost snapchat in the change, because of security in snapchat app i cant get around to login. For me it doesnt matter but for others it might.

Did any of y'all get sm-g930v update? If so can one of y'all follow the instructions in this thread to revert back to marshmallow with smart switch, and follow these instructions so all of Verizon s7 users can get an update.zip and get in on the nougat action?
First do this: I think if you took the beta update then go back to MM using smart switch you can install the galaxy beta program app and download the beta update again. Can someone that got accepted into the beta program on verizon try please?
Then follow these instructions to capture the ota update.zip
