battery life?

smoothness?

stability?

app incompatibilities?

whose kernel are you using?

how do you like Google Now? Does it kick Siri's butt?

would you recommend using now as a daily driver?

I'm running Paranoid Android v1.9.1a (based on JellyBro CM10, I believe?).

Battery Life: Having a hard time seeing much difference between JB- and ICS-based builds. More on that later.

Smoothness: So. Damn. Smooth. Really, really good. Rapid scrolling through APW FB and Twitter widgets would sort of stutter on ICS builds. No such hiccups now. Similarly, when installing/updating apps in the background, my system used to lag really hard. There's still a little bit of stutter, but so much better now.

Stability: I think I had maybe two random reboots in ~3 weeks. Some of those may have been related to experimental versions of the kernel. Hard to say, as I didn't investigate particularly hard.

App Incompatibilities: Haven't run into anything yet, aside from apps which do not play by the Holo UI rules and require an onscreen menu button. (CM10 commits appear to have baked longpress Multitasking button as Menu, though. Or maybe that is all molesarecoming's doing in ParanoidAndroid. In any case, it's excellent.)

Kernel: imoseyon's leanKernel v4.2.0. Stock voltages and frequencies. Using the InteractiveX governor. There were a few experimental builds for v4.1.x that were hotfixes to get it to even boot in CM10-based ROMs. I have the feeling that the few freak reboots I got were related to the kernel's growing pains.

Google Now vs. Siri: Having never used Siri, I can't really speak to that. Google Now is quite nice though! A real step up from the previous, boring Google Search app. Voice recognition is really good, and the few commands that I've played with (setting alarms, getting directions, etc.) were neat. Voice commands aren't really my cup of tea, though. I already think about my phone too much. If I start talking to it routinely, my girlfriend will probably up and leave me. And I probably wouldn't blame her :]

Daily Driver: Obviously recommended if you're a veteran ROM flasher! And definitely painless enough that I think even a newcomer would be just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeWitt_A:
I am running Bugless Beast Jelly Bean from Pete Alfonso (Verizon Toro). Currently on the 7/24 build but started with 7/9

1. Battery Life is good. Initially it was shaky, but good after I turned off most of the location based Google Now options.

2. Smoothness - Awesome. Big improvement from ICS

3. Stability - Perfect so far

4. App incompatibilities - So far only one, MyTouchTunes. One normal menu selection does not respond to touch. There is another menu with the same thing so it is not a big problem.

5. Kernel - Stock

6. Google now seems cool, shows off phone really well. Not really sure yet of value, and have not spent enough time with Siri to judge.

7. Highly recommended. Better experience than stock 4.04 all around.

I tried jb the day it came out and went back to cm9 because of app incompatibilities. But apps are being upgraded to the point that it's not that much of an issue now, so I made the move to jb.

Went with bigxie's 4.1.1 ROM because of his reputation for releasing very solid, stable ROMs that just work. It also is already rooted and has busybox and gapps preinstalled, which eliminates more hassle. No complaints or issues whatsoever. Smooth as glass and rock solid.

Installed Nova launcher to give me a few of the conveniences I like, at least until a CM10 release candidate comes out. No issues.

Trinity kernel is still in alpha for jb, but after reading some good reports about it, I went ahead and installed it, too. Working great so far with no hiccups. Very good color control and ability to tweak for superior battery life (two of its strong points).

So at this point I'm very satisfied with this combination and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I don't use Google Now, or even keep GPS turned on at all. I'm a big believer in internet privacy, and Google doesn't need to know about my daily activities. So can't offer an opinion there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Tried one of the Roms thinking it wouldn't be ready and I'd have to go back to ICS... how wrong was I. Once you've been to JB you'll never go back to ICS... works perfectly well, no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidXSU:
I'm using Jellybro CM10 Kangs.

In battery I notice no difference.

Very smooth for me, no random crashes, reboots or anything like that, everything works.

Only app I had a problem with is Power amp doesn't work right in the notification bar.

My friend has an i4S, even he agrees Google Now kicks Siri's butt. The voice is more human like, pictures come up, its more of a place to get info rather than a novelty like Siri.

I would strongly recommend the ROM I'm using because it has some of the most important things I missed from ROMs; Notification drawer widget, extra lock screen targets, lock screen weather, lock screen calendar, even theme chooser works now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LuvMyDroid:
Hellz yeah!

I've been running BAMF Paradigm v.2.0 since it was released a few days ago and I absolutely love it. Battery life is well, the GNex typical battery life. I always have spare batteries charged.

I've had no random reboots and confidently use it as my daily driver. I'm using the kernel that is included with the ROM. I've tried a couple others and rolled back to the stock one right away. I was getting problem with deep sleep on any alternate kernel.

I never used ICS on this phone. I rooted and flashed JB from the day I got it, so I really can't speak the the difference in performance, but I run ICS on my HP Touchpad and I know I would not be happy with it on my phone after having used JB.

I would, without hesitation, tell you to make the leap to JB.

I don't think you'll miss ICS in the least.

Just flashed CM9 Alpha 5 yesterday. Everything is working great except gmail notifications. Went to settings and enabled them but still not getting new email notifications. Anyone else having this problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] R@VEN:
Yesterday I bought a used Galaxy Note from a guy on Craigslist. Everything works great except Bluetooth. I usually pair my phone with 3 different devices. Rocketfish headphones, Creative D200 speaker, and a Belkin bluetooth receiver connected to my home theater. All of my previous and other current devices have no problems streaming to these devices. my new Note pairs with each of these devices and connects, then starts streaming, then no music or sounds can be heard after a few seconds. It still shows connected. I have tried everything unpairing, repairing, rebooting. i even upgraded to ICS and get the same problem except after it streams for a few secs it disconnects now and shows paired and will not connect again until I reboot. Has anyone else had problems like this? By the way im tring to stream Iheartradio using a wifi connection. Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Oh that escaped from my vision, or may you hav not mentioned in op.

Anyway then best.way is to give it to service center.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] R@VEN:
After further testing I have had limited success streaming music that is stored on my phone to the bluetooth devices. they stream for at least 45 minutes. Its just when I try to stream Iheart, tunein,winamp shoutcast,ect through wifi or 4G I have this problem. this is strange. I wish I could find some other people that claim they stream online media to bluetooth.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
@OP

any chance using or flashing a custom kernel would do the trick on your current issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Whatever you do never factory reset or data wipe on stock ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Either you are in the wrong forum, or no. The ATT Note is a completely different device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] R@VEN:
Yes I do believe i am in the wrong forum. I should have posted in the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note forum. One last question. Do any of you stream online media through your galaxy note to bluetooth devices?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
What is sd-ext? Why is it on the GB recovery menu? Do we have App2SD support?

I've seen these questions posed a number of times so I figured I would post a thread with some detail on this.

App2SD is an enhancement intended to address relatively small data storage partitions on early phones. It does not address RAM usage. Many people tend to use "memory" as a generic term to describe storage or RAM, particularly because all the storage on our smartphones is some form of flash memory.

App2SD utilizing the sd-ext partition is not supported by any of the infuse kernels. It is on the CWM recovery menu of the GB kernels because that version of recovery on the infuse is a carryover from earlier Samsung phones which benefited from kernels that supported App2SD. It is no longer supported for two reasons. 1) The infuse has a 2GB /data partition. This is much larger than the /data partition available on some of the earlier phones. 2) Android OS as of Froyo (2.2) supports this capability natively. Any time you move an app from phone to SD card in Settings/Applications/Manage Applications you are doing essentially the same thing that App2SD used to provide. Those apps get stored in /mnt/asec which grabs space as needed from the internal SD Card. (There are some types of apps that should never be stored on the sd card. This includes launchers, live wallpapers, alarms, widgets, and email apps, perhaps others. One of the first things to try if an app is not loading is to move it to phone from sd card).

Note also that sd-ext is not the external SD card, despite the similarity of name.

RAM is volatile memory holding code and data accessed by the processor while apps are running. When you reboot, turn off phone or pull the battery, RAM is wiped clean. To see what is being used, go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Running (Shows what apps and services are active in RAM and how much RAM they are consuming - does not show the amount the OS consumes, but you could get to that by taking the total in use and subtracting all the RAM used by apps - I recommend that only if you are suffering from insomnia):eek: The Android OS is pretty good at managing RAM utilization. If you load enough apps that RAM fills up, the OS will start shutting down unused apps to make room. This is what "Task Killer" apps also try to do, but in my experience it's usually better to let the OS take care of this.

On that same "Manage Apps" menu "Downloaded" and "All" cover apps stored on the /data partition. "On SD Card" is all the other apps stored in /mnt/asec (which uses space on the internal SD Card).

If you have Titanium Backup, "System ROM" is the /system partition, "Internal" is the /data partition, and the other three are self-explanatory. Think of all those as serving the same purpose as the hard drive in a PC or MAC - Non-volatile storage (or memory) that stores your OS, apps and data even when the phone is turned off or the battery is pulled.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ms.Dummbunny:
wow, that actually explains so much, especially why don't see much anymore about it. I guess the Nandroids still have that command in them, which is why it looks for it when doing a backup.

Just started on mine as well with Foxhound 1.4, LG8 Modem, Siyah Kernel.

I did not have the issue on stock LG8 with Stock kernel, so it is either something in Siyah or Foxhound that has caused it for me. I did a factory reset on install and restored the same aps as I had on stock, so it does not look like it is an ap or factory reset problem. (No issue on CM10, Wanamlite with the same software).

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namen123456:
My screen is cracked when i felt down on the stairs, there are some dent on the side which i think lead to a shock or impact to the screen...

i'm wondering how to check whether the glass break or the LCD panel break... i can still see display at the back perfectly, i confirm it with rotating the screen to see any black spots or any other issue, but it turn out to be fine. Also another problem is that the screen is not responding well... when i try to unlock, i place my finger and it dosent seem to detect it. But after a few tries, i managed to unlock it. For the screen unlocking i felt that the crackscreen may have impact on the touch screen sensor or so...

And i currently lives in malaysia and Asus service centre told me that the cost to repair the LCD and glass will be 800-1000!!! which is i cant afford due to i'm still currently a student.

SOME GOOD ADVICE NEEDED !!!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrhodes:
I'd assume that the LCD and the digitizer are glued together.

You should still have a warranty if you bought it, if you didn't you should of been more careful with it.

I didn't want a warranty because I knew I was going to root and unlock, so I bought a leather case for it.

Think of this as a life lesson.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] crowelfly:
Whatsapp

There is no special rom needed for whatsapp messenger.

Do you have an rooted android smartphone and galaxy player?

-Install "whatsapp" and "titanium backup" on the phone

-Open whatsapp and activate it.

-Backup the whatsapp data with titanium.

-Open your favorite file-explorer and copy the backup files to an SD-card, personal computer or any cloud service.

-Install whatsapp and titanium backup on your galaxy player.

-Open whatsapp and close it afterwards.

-Backup the whatsapp data from your galaxy player. (This is a fake backup).

-Move the (smartphone) whatsapp files to the titanium backup folder (galaxy player) where the fake backup is saved.

-Remove the fake backup.

-Open titanium backup on your galaxy player and restore your whatsapp backup.

"You are ready to go"

This process should also be possible without a smartphone.

You need to install BlueStacks on your computer.

Hello,

My desire has some touch related problems, the screen acts like I toching on the top right of the screen (notification bar area) and then he gets crazy, make me to lose my mind many times....

A new touch screen + intallation cost in my country like 100$, and I dont think its worth for such an old device...

There is any way to disable multi touch or and other method that can help me fix this?

Thanks alot,

Daniel.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheiji:
Frankly, it s quite a known issue t the Desire has a faulty touchscreen and you should know that by having used the search button with lots of occurences.

First thing first: The HTC Desire has a dual- touch screen type and not multitouch. The means it has been designed mainly to support pinch to zoom actions. Therefore only two fingers can be recognized "fine",on the screen.

Why "fine"? Because it actually takes the real position of the first finger and calculate the virtual position of the second finger. This touchscreen configuration has created an issue that is well known as Axis swapping and stickiness. Search this on the Desire and you should get more information that, I hope, will help you very well ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Assuming you can disable multitouch. Your screen acts like it's always touching the top right side of the screen, then you wont even be able to swipe your finger as that top right screen bug will always make use of the touch functionality.

You determined it's a hardware issue then go replace the screen.
