Re: [ROM][CWM][Feb 20]JB XXMS1 NeatROM Full/LITE/Mods/Themes

For people that are asking about which rom (lite or full) and what kernel... May I suggest this

Flash Neat Rom Lite

Flash SpeedMod 5.3 kernel

Enjoy

What I find is something that I am guilty of myself... We are all looking for the ultimate... But what is "the ultimate"?

I have a five step challenge if you are willing to accept

1. Are there any major bugs? (no go to step 2) if yes PM TRB :thumbup:

2.Do you suffer any lag or boot loop?

If so flash the latest Philz, or Siyah 6.4b, SpeedMod 5.3 which I highly recommend

3. If battery is draining please download BBS (Better battery Stats and Gsam)

When looking at BBS select partial wake locks and see what is draining your battery... My guess is that it will be 1 of 2 things... Maps or Audio out 2

If this is the case then use a fabulous app called Links2sd... Here you freeze and unfreeze maps at will. Even if you have GPS turned off apps like Google Now or maps will constantly search for your location... You don't need it.... Another tip i would mention is that if you use the stock browser you should press menu and go to settings and" untick" location... I don't see it mentioned a lot but it makes a difference... Big or small that depends on your experience

Audio out 2 is still a bit of an unknown for me. Obviously if you are listening to music or pod casts then this will appear as your phone is "off" but obviously it is still working in the background which causes the wakelock.. There are thoughts that if you have your phone on silent and you hot reboot then the wakelock will happen. I don't know what the experts think but I find this wakelock occurring when I've used headphones at some part of the day... To solve this a simple reboot is the answer

4. Your happy with your Rom but you want some mods to "make it your own"

Check out AprillaM3's signature and you will find all you need there. The man himself has done a bloody good job but it is hard to keep on track of so a word of advice... If you are running LSD or MS1 most mods are compatible with each other... As always make a back up first... What? It takes like 5 minutes don't be a douche... Unless your hardcore like Bob

5. The final and most important thing is... If it works.... It works... You may want a smartphone that lasts 3 days but unless you are the god that is Many40 then it won't happen.... It's a smart phone... To be smart that **** takes battery power.... I would rather enjoy my phone for 10-12 hours without tweaks.

I know I have to charge my phone every night so I've given up my search for the ultimate battery life. You can get too caught up in it all when realistically for most of us... 9am-12pm is sufficient.

My one word of advice is enjoy your phone... Don't get too caught up trying to squeeze 2 extra hours out of it... The phone is for you and you alone... It's not a tool to impress others with, its yours... I'll admit I absolutely adore my GS2. Nothing is out there that I'm even remotely interested in

Are we forgetting these simple facts?

1. We are running Jelly bean

2. We have a 8.0 mp camera with 1080hp video cameras

3. With an external SD card which cost me £20 I have 48 gb of storage .we are spoilt for choice with apps such as Power Amp, Tune In Radio, and Google Play,...... don't like the BBC?..... app get UK world news instead...

Etc etc etc etc

This is a Calvo quote that I've just made up on the spot but here it goes

"the search for perfection hinders your search for enjoyment "
