Nothing really just ui changes transitions **** like that other than that I like you agree gb right now is better but wait till these devs get kernel source that's when the magic happens

This article will tell you the differences: http://www.androidauthority.com/android-2-3-gingerbread-vs-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-37742/
I don't like that article they had an experiment with 2 variables
Phones and os versions
Gnex will obviously have better scores than the nexus s

As of right now I agree with you.... GB roms run way faster and smoother in compared to ics. I do however like some of the options you have with ics...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
well the reason you prolly like gb is because its official ics roms are based off leaks they are leaks for a reason still not quite ready =(
for me, it's also about the app versions...
gmail on ics... love it.
gtalk on ics, multiple logins... love it.
and ics itself? the differences are not obvious, in some ways...
swipe to remove notifications...
system settings...
the app drawer w/ widgets...
the stock browser. man oh man. whata improvement.
at first, i didn't think much of them, until forced to flash back to gb for a day. then i realized the subtle things i was missing.

Definitely subtle changes!!! I didn't notice much upgrading, been using aokp on the galaxy s. But when I got this phone and just ran gingerbread that's when I noticed it. I'm missing a lot of features of it like silly faces on the video cam, tablet like widgets and definitely the browser that's able to save sites for offline reading.

Downgrade to Gingerbread. It's the only solution to all these game problems.
Sent from my LT18i using XDA App
i downgrade it already but this mean i will never update it or i should choose between the update and games and all new roms are ICS based
All ICS based ROMs have this problem. Stick to GB ones for gaming.
Sent from my LT18i using XDA App
Yeah agree stick to GB roms since it's much more stable and snappy than ICS roms.
Try this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539752
IMHO
it's good for gaming.
The games mentioned there works on Arconium ICS too.. The touchscreen bug is applicable to all ICS ROMS! So the only solution is downgrading to GB.
Yes, that's the final solution i think.
Yes, back to GB, is the best solution.
So here I am planning to flash CM9 this weekend, and of course JB gets released! Not that its a bad thing of course, but it just makes my decision that much harder. Does anyone have suggestions as to which I should go with and why? Please only post constructive advice with some facts behind your answer, no "JB FTW!" comments since this is a serious question.
Jelly Bean. The only thing I miss from CM9 is the integrated LED notification chooser. Light Flow isn't working correctly for me on JB.
For all the reasons here: http://www.android.com/whatsnew/ and more JB is a no brainer.
Maybe you should flash both and decide for yourself! I would go with cm cause jb is pretty stock rite now and if you want options jb will come up short vs cm..jb is very nice I ran it for a few hours but I can't handle the stock feel..
I find that most of the customizations in cm9 and aokp don't get used by me.
I have been running between aokp and cm9 for months. They are great smooth stable roms with great customizations.. If those tweaks are something you are really into then maybe stay.
Project butter is no lie.. JB is (for me) smoother in every day actions than cm9/aokp. New notification ui is great. Google Now is awesome and practical. You can still run custom kernels and over clock and have root... Just not those more in depth tweaks yet.
JB is the future... May as well go there as soon as possible.

Coming from CM9 to JB, I'd say CM9 for features, JB for speed.
There are some CM9 features that I really miss on JB. T9 dailer, lock screen weather, and lock screen shortcuts. But JB is really buttery smooth.
That being said, once the source code of JB is released next month and CM9 is updated to JB, I'll go back go CM9.
Are custom launchers working on JB?
I'm on cm9 but damn keen to try JB. Started d/l last night but stopped it at 10mb down. I'm stuck using 3g atm and a 250mb d/l will use up about a quarter of my months data.
Nova works on jb... Apex crashes for me.. But stock jb is smoother than both.

Once the JB source is released it will be in CM. I installed JB to give it a try but for the long run I am going to run CM.
I liked JB but there are still some apps that I couldn't get working most notably GTA3.

Nova has some quirks on JB. I went back to the stock JB launcher for the time being.
JB for now. The new features are amazing and it's butter smooth.

Jelly Bean. MUCH smoother, Live Wallpapers are lag free again (FINALLY), much better boot animation (CM is way too choppy, and the stock ICS one is just... no.) better camera, Google Now is freaking amazing, I could go on.
I hadn't even tried live wallpapers. Very nice. I have never been able to use them due to lag.

how's the battery life on JB? did the smooth ui have any effect on battery life?

I think the only reason to use Sense is for the Rosie.
I like the keyboard. Widgets are cool. Sense camera app takes better pictures too.

For the camera, I use Pro Paint Camera. It's a free app in the market and takes great pics

For some reason, with all the added bloat and all, the Sense 4 ROM namely UKB runs smoother than the AOSP ROMs in my opinion. The AOSP ROMs are smooth at the beginning, but they start getting sluggish soon. Sense 4 gets sluggish too, but I find it manageable. Plus it doesn't have a few bugs that annoy me on ICS ROMs.
In my opinion the Sense camera and the beautiful widgets are the only advantages.
AOSP is so much faster and more responsive...period. And many things about Sense are illogical and frustrating.
I guess you could say I like AOSP more because it makes more...sense
Sense is icky

Except for sense 4
Sense vs AOSP is all about personal preference. The only way you'll figure out which you prefer is to try a couple of each and see what makes you happy.
AOSP. End of Discussion for me.
With how well designed ics and jb are sense just looks gaudy

Sense it just too frilly and too much eye candy for me. (Sense 3.5-). I love stock 4.x
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
HTC Sense is good for camera. I found No autofocus without HTC sense.
Anybody know good ROM with autofocus without HTC sense .
A while ago, I would've said that Sense is more responsive in the keyboard department. But with the latest Sense ROMs I've used (UKB, IC Tazz, ArcticIcsed, EclipticSense, etc.), I find that the Sense ROMs don't feel as responsive as AOSP ROMs when the keyboard is concerned. Plus, Sense focuses too much on eye candy and is too flashy for me.
So the only benefit Sense has that's better than AOSP is the camera since the features and quality excels compared to AOSP.
If only HTC removed a lot of the bloat save for the essential ones and made the rest downloadable at the Play Store or HTC Hub.
But still, I think the devs are truly awesome for making the awesome ROMs I've tried and used.

I think that sense 4 looks great. However it uses a lot of RAM, and can be slow on lower end devices.
But ICS/JB looks even better compaired to vanilla gingerbread. And its always very responsive (Even after it starts to slow down).
If the sense 3.6 ICS OTA can give me at least 250mb of RAM. Then ill go with that. (If the OTA can get 250mbs of RAM, I know that we could get 100% functional sense 4 that has at least 200mbs of RAM.)
Anything else ill use CM 10.
This is all depending on if we get ICS.

I actually hated the stock rom with my Dinc2 and that was the only reason I rooted my phone and just not a fan of the sense roms. Since rooting my phone I have tried CM 7.2, CM 9, and I am currently using Paranoid Android 1.98. I liked ICS but after using the Hybrid JB I am hooked. Granted there are a few bugs with the JB but as far as looks and smoothness I just can't move away from it. I have yet to try a Miui rom...I hear they are great too.

I think this speaks for itself when it comes to sense4.
Sent from my vivow using xda app-developers app
Yeah, using RAM usage as a metric of system performance seems a tad naive. I experienced sluggishness on both Sense and AOSP even with loads of free RAM. On the other side, I also observe that while Sense 4 may use more RAM to keep all their fancy graphics/textures and stuff in memory, I also experienced a much more snappy response on Rosie. I do feel that Rosie is a far better launcher than the ones bundled with AOSP ROMs... After loading a lot of widgets, those launchers start to stutter a bit too often, but the stuttering is infrequent with Rosie. However, I am high on Sense4 of late and I am possibly a bit biased. But, isn't that expected in a thread asking a question of personal preference? As far as the standard bloat is concerned, as noted above I too manage to run the Sense 4 ROM with an average of 200-250 MB of free RAM. I do remember AOSP taking about as much. My only criticism of Sense 4 is the poor Email app, but that is readily rectified using the stock Email app from ICS. My gripe with AOSP is the lack of an inbuilt timer (I use it often), the lack of a FM app (I rarely use it but as a matter of principle, I frown upon Google and the whole AOSP front for not being able to make a working FM app... the one in CM7 is just way too buggy that and there isn't one useful app on the market either)...
I'll be back with more gripes later. Peace.
Hey guys. Well. I ending the story with ISC and JellyBean because all roms doesnt support ALL games with touchpad working,so for now i want to have gingerbread with styled UI (like holo?,or something clean),ofc GB performance and some auto tweaks for better quality,bass etc

Actually i did it,but this is kind of old - i think the newest roms will be better and more stable. I can be wrong,but i dont like to have old software on my phone
For now i am using Xplaystation GB v2 and.. Looks good,smooth UI,good performance,no bugs for now. But one thing makes me mad - the lock screen. Is there any addon to change lockscreen for looks like JB/ICS?

Same here, no mater what I will always go back to stock GB with tweaks, its the fastest by far all Roms, most battery efficient and honestly it feels more like YOURS as u know what u did to it, and not someone else's tweak/mods to it,
