I've been using the stock ICS ROM and I am very impressed with the battery, coming from my X10.
How does Jj's ROM compare? Do the kernels make a difference,, as I was just going to keep the stock kernel I believe.
Thanks, I'd really like to get an idea of the differences.

Hi guys.
I want to change my rom and kernel but don't know witch one to choose.
I prefer JJ or KA for the ics looks.
I'm now on stock ics 4.0.4.
And when flashing one of those roms, do i have to change my kernel or is the stock 2.6.32.9-perf good enough?
And what to flash first? The rom or the kernel?
Thanks :good:
Hello,
I used JJs from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673489
I'm on stock.
Very pleased with the speed, using stock kernel too.

JJ probably, and flash the kernel first
OF COURSE JJ"s ROM . is THE BEST
the basic point is flashing any kernel, the going into recovery and then installing any rom....and as far as the question is concerned, i prefer ka21 over jj's hybrid..i have tried almost every rom available on this forum for arc and arc s. although i love cm9 it consumes a lot of battery. while ka21 gives me as low as .2% battery loss per hour. that is, in standby mode with wifi off, gps off and data off, 500 hours...theoratically. i really love this rom although i have made my own changes ...
So I just got a G Nexus and im wondering whether I should be using stock JB or one of the custom JB roms. Is there a stable JB rom that is better than stock yet?
AndroidME. Very clean and fast with a good amount of features.

Almost all the custom ROMs are rock solid stable since they work off of the stock codebase to begin with. The very worst that'll happen is that they'll have a feature that doesn't work completely. For example, one of the CM10 kangs has a toggle that crashes when you select it, but it's not in stock so you still get the rest of the features.
Custom ROMs will also have generally better performance and battery life aside from any features they have. AndroidMe, Revolution HD, CM10 kangs, Xenon HD, the list goes on. Try em out!
If you give the devs time, they will add more tweaks,etc into the custom rooms....stuff that is not available on the stock

anyone notice decreased performance and overall shi&&*y performance after upgarding to ICS? Im running stock ROM, rooted both, and have 2 exact same devices in front of me - one's on GB, 1 on ICS - ICS has no signal, GB has 2 bars...That's just one of many issues....any thoughts?
Flash a custom ROM. I've always said this before ICS came out. I could care less for the stock release, never flashed it, never will. Its all about source and what the devs can do with it. AOKP 7/15 milestone 6 and CM 9 are to very stable ICS ROM's. Add some Darkside to them with his kernel, and you are good to go!!

where do I find those 2 roms?

Hello!
It's been quite awhile since I've been on here and got sick of Sony's ICS builds and how awful they are. So last night I unlocked my LT18a's bootloader and and flashed back to 4.1.A.0.562 firmware and rooted my device, I'm running DooMLords ICS Kernel as well.
So now I should be completely ready to flash ROM's, but I would like verify some things first. Since I'm on ICS, can I only installed ROM's based on ICS? Like CM9 etc..
I'm not sure how it works on the Arc S compared to other devices I have used in the past (Atrix, Nexus S etc..)
To the best of my knowledge, as long as your on an ICS kernel, you can flash ICS based roms. CM9 has its own kernel I'm pretty sure you have to use.
Each Rom should indicate what it is compatible with in the thread, but from my adventures, if your on an ICS kernel, you can only flash ICS roms.
as a general rule, keep like with like. GB kernels for GB roms and ICS kernels for ICS roms.
and of course CM kernels with CM roms.
Which Rom were you thinking of flashing?

Ah, sounds right. Thanks for all the information.
I just flashed the official CM9 with the Free Xperia kernel it and it seems to be working nicely.
Awesome, glad I could help mate

Yes I have searched, and yes I understand that my firmware version must match the kernel I'm trying to flash, but my question is unique, I have yet to find an answer.
Basically I want to flash a kernel that is kompatible with my current rooted stock ROM, so I kan keep all my data, but utilize some of the CPU tweaking governors and I/O kontrollers that other kernels use.
If the kernel says TouchWiz, does that make it kompatible with my stock ROM?
I don't need any new features or a kolor make over from flashing a new ROM, but I would like better battery life and maybe more kontrol over my CPU speed and voltage.
Also, is GB REALLY the way to go for battery life? How would I go about keeping all my kurrent data, but moving to a GB ROM or kernel?
Thank you for your tyme in this matter.

TouchWiz kernels, will work with with stock as far as i know. check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1284 for info on different types of kernels. Some of the installs allow you to keep data as well. And from what i hear GB is the way to go on this phone, best battery life and best overall user experience on this phone. Ive never ran GB on it, but have come across alot of threads where people are praising GB over ICS and JB for this phone.

If I'm kurrently on STOCK ROM, with AGAT recovery, is it possible to just flash over to a GB Kernel or ROM? and keep data? I'm really just looking for a solution to keep all my apps+data and have either a Kernel or ROM that improves battery life. (I enjoy klipping my Otter Box Defender and walking around with Pandora playing.)
I've also read about backing up apps with Titanium or a similar program, flashing to a new ROM, then restoring the apps+data, is that something that would work in this situation? Again, I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before, but I feel like my situation is unique in the sense of keeping my data, and not really needing the extra bells and whistles of a new ROM.

Just because a kernel says TouchWiz it does not mean it is compatible with any TouchWiz rom. The kernel should be one that is made for the specific Android version of the rom.
There are aosp Jelly Bean roms now that have battery life that is comparable to GB. Baked Blackbean by sniper, Magical Unicorn by ktempleton, and Wild For The Night by dastin 1015 are excellent roms. Also MotoBlur'd Jelly Bean by bilgerryan which is based on Wild For The Night is excellent.
I have tried the stock JB roms and always come back to the aosp roms. They are so much smoother.
Do not try do use a GB kernel on an ICS or JB rom.
I always use Titanium Backup to restore apps and app data after doing a clean rom installation. Do not restore system data with Titanium Backup, only app data.
Just follow the installation instructions for the rom you want to install and you shouldn't have any trouble.

Well, I'll look around at some JB AOSP ROMs but might try a GB rom to see the difference. Another quick question, will my Titanium App Backups work when moving from ICS to GB?
Yes. Except apps that don't support gb. Like chrome.

KingUniverse the only way to safely keep data/app data between kernel flashes is when staying within the same type of kernel, ex.ics to ics JB to JB, when you go cross build like ics to JB or JB to Gb your data will make a mess of your phone. App data can be forgiving at times but sometimes it can create all kinds of issues.
Best example is the one clicks, they always caution about using "no data" (keeps your data) only if coming from same build type (Ics to Ics JB to JB) so you dont bork.
