[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Jelly King 2.0 Review​

Introduction:

So I've been using Jelly King 2.0 for quite some time now, and I obviously like it. So, I decided to write a review for this, so that they can have a look at the main plus points and negative points for the ROM and decide whether they want it or not.

Alright, so let's start off the review.

Note: No tweak has been used except for the in-built adrenaline engine and INT2EXT (used for increasing internal memory). The phone has not been overclocked, it is on Stock 600MHz.

Jelly King 2.0:

Jelly King 2.0 (I will call it JK2 from now on) is the successor of Jelly King 1.0,1.1.,1.2 and 1.3.

Main Features:

Based on the Latest CM10 Alpha 2 by modpunk.

Minor bugs like - Low Brightness, Auto Brightness, CRT Animation have been fixed. (i.e. the ROM is pretty much complete)

Adrenaline Engine in-built to give you speed.

Main Bugs:

Camera quality worse than stock Sense ROMs.

Camcorder recording framerate is very low.

Panoramas generated are not correct.

Data disconnects randomly sometimes.

USB Tethering does not work (i. e. Using phone as modem doesn't work).

Google Now Voice Search doesn't work.

All in all, these bugs are very very minor, as the Camera on the whole works. So, it shouldn't be a HUGE problem, unless you take lots of photos with your phone. If so, switch to Sense or CM7.2.

Now, I'm going to stress on a few major points which people look at when choosing a ROM.

Stability:

As far as I'm concerned, I give this ROM a 8.5/10 for stability. Quite stable, no issues whatsoever, only that I rarely face a random reboot.

Performance:

Now first of all let me remind you that our phone has a 600MHz single-core processor , with Adreno 200 GPU. Not much compared to today's phones, huh? Yet, this ROM gives you solid performance. I've been playing games like Rope N' Fly 3, Temple Run 1, Temple Run 2, The Sandbox, Age Of Zombies, Jetpack Joyride the whole day. And it hardly lags. I give it a 9/10 for giving good performance on compatible games even with such a low CPU clock speed.

Battery Life:

When you first use this ROM, you would be like, "Damn, the battery sucks." I was that way too, you know. But on closer examination of battery stats, you'll see that majority portion of the battery is being sucked by the display. So, the solution is simple. You put the brightness between minimum to 25%. I have myself put it on minimum and experienced a drastic increase in standby battery life, as well as screen on battery life.

Note: I am on the .15M Radio, it gives slightly better battery than others.

Benchmarks:

Now, I don't really do benchmarks, but I gave the FPS one a shot. I will not be doing AnTuTu Benchmark, because it calculates the score based on CPU Clock Speed and SD Card Reading speed, so obviously, the scores will differ.

NenaMark2: 14.6FPS. Quite the shocker, no? On such low hardware power, 14.6FPS is amazing. Good job kantry!

And finally,

Tips And Tricks:

You MAY feel some lag while using this ROM. In order to remove it completely, I recommend using Seeder 2.0.0 (if you want to support the dev, a paid Google Play version is available).

I also recommend using the v6 Supercharger script by zeppelinrox.

Screenshots:

All screenshots can be found in my folder on Google Drive, here.

So, that's the end of this review. If you have any points you would like me to add, please do post a reply and tell me, I will add it soon!

I do hope this review has helped you all. Best of luck in choosing your ROM!
