[Review][Video] JELLYBEAN!!! :D - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Here is a video review of Jellybean that I compiled from the source code put up by kevdliu on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779986
Credits to kevdliu, Aeroevan, Andromadus, Firetop, elicik and MORE! I just compiled their code and put it on my phone and made this video! I am putting it here for better visibility to all the Dinc2 XDA members...
Everything except camera seems to work fine. There is some minor glitches in the animations, like the text smears in the status bar when a new notification arrives... That is the when the status bar is cleared and the text from a new notification pops up there, that text "smears" as it animates. But otherwise, the text in the pull down notification bar, etc. is fine... I have a video of this happening, and I can up it later...
Apart from that, this is Daily Driver material. See it for yourself [Fair warning: I speak at the very end when I test the Google Now feature very briefly! So, expect some vocals at the end, and don't be thrown off guard! ]
If you like this video, go to the original thread and thank the devs there!
A build has been uploaded by Kevdliu that is probably the same thing I am running (or may have fixes he made after that)... So, now you can go ahead, download, flash and ENJOY!!!!
And here comes the review:

Alllllright......I like where this is goin'

"Problem with network 400"
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app

I'm liking what I'm seeing here! Everything looks smooth especially when you bring up tasks switch between apps. I always felt like on CM9 that function took forever so I never really bothered with it to switch apps. I felt it was faster just to manually go back. Looks like I wont have to do that anymore !!!

Never mind... I must have done something in the settings. I reset the settings and now it works. Thanks for the tip about this browser.
Not only it's a good browser but i don't know how it improved the touch selection problem in texts which the Stock ICS browser is having.
Really a great browser. Just customs fonts are waiting then it's almost perfect.
The ring shape menu looks nice.
Just perfect.

Love this app. But, sometimes facing issues where I am not able to long click on a link ONLY after clicking a link and then going back fixes three issue. Anyone else has this problem?

Curious

What do you think will be the next update for the GNII to improve it to be more like a tablet? Any ideas?
Swyped by Me & My GNII
I was wondering the same thing, but to be totally honest with you, it's already like too perfect. I really don't know anything else that can be done to it to make it any better except maybe, being able to use the voice feature on it without being connected to the Internet? Just my 2 cents.

Being able to designate which apps are by default started in full-phone or full-tablet UI mode would be great.

I really doubt they will enable tablet mode, they have tablets for that. That and for most people the screen is still to small from the tablet UI. heck even the Nexus 7 runs the same UI as the Note 2 does

Paranoid android and king kang had roms that would run specific apps in tablet mode on my old epic 4g touch. It would be great to see our phones added to their development......

I don't know, I think the whole phablet thing had many hesitant about this phone. I sincerely hope you're right though. I love CM10, PA, and other similar ROMS but they take so much time to get fully functional. I just hope there is Dev out there who will jump in and take it on for our Sprint variant.
the note II is anything but perfect. I have a lot of "gripes" with it.
first 320dpi. seriously? is that a joke I could not root it fast enough to get it going at 240dpi. Ahhh so much better
burst mode is borked. the huge delay built into the implimentation on the Note II renders is useless. as a temp fix use best shot its instant but only 8 shots.
on my S3 I can assign my favorite upload method (imgur for pictures youtube for video) as defaults. just tap the imgur or youtube icon and its going
this is GONE in the NOTE II I have to tap share and scroll to my selections EVERY TIME. very annoying once you got used to the S3 way.
toggles are gone. so I can't turn off mobile data etc.. on the Note II easily from the pull down like I can on the S3.

Honestly.....

Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

Yea I meant alarms.. Lol. Or even clock app would be smart
Why on EARTH would u want camera lag when changing the phone orientation... Then u end up missing Ur shot!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am

IMO the black background is nice to quickly identify icons. U know u can always use third party launchers to change that..

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.
Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess
For some reason the multi view is not working any more.
I got the little tab. . But when I click program like google mail and Chrome the open in full screen. It worked for a few hours but then it stopped. ..

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.
Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
Please advise and thank you.
I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine

Evervolv for the Skyrocket I727

I've successfully ported the evervolv ROM to the SR, but whenever the CPU engages, IE unlock screen, launching an app, etc., this thick red outline appears. Sometimes randomly. Short of building from source, since i don't have the necessary tools, how would one fix this? I can just email that particular dev, but i wanted a broader audience. Thank you for your attention.

That ROM is supposed to have a stock aosp experience
I know. I do like it. But in the ics version the status bar had multiple pages to swipe between. I though that was bad azz. Now with the power widget I guess its a little mundane. Oh well
