Hello. I have a Desire HD which was rooted with Gingerbread and CyanogenMod 7 when I bought it. I heard of upgrades from a friend and decided to update to Android 4.1.1 and it is now running Jelly Bean. Before I upgraded I was happy with many of the features on my phone such as the volume output through my ear-buds being louder. Now that I have upgrades I have allot of issues.
My system info:
Baseband Version
-12.39.60.19u_26.06.04.06_M
Kernal Version
- 3.0.42KangBang-Kernal-g24b00f1
AOKP Version
- aokp_ace_jb Sept-01-12
Build Number
- JRO03H
My main issue is the lagging. Sometimes when I'm using an app or just have my music open my screen flickers or loops slightly, and on most occasions it freezes until I press the power button on the top to make the phone sleep. Another issue is back when I was on Gingerbread I was able to control my music using my Volume Up and Down buttons. Now I can only control the actual volume instead of being able to switch tracks. I also use Textplus app which allows me to call people via my 3G. Back when I was using Gingerbread everything was fine, now when I try to call someone my screen just turns black for minutes at a time. Why is my phone acting so bad compared to the old Android I had? How would I fix these issues aswell. Thanks
Its important to understand that JB is still in development and will never be officialy released for the desire HD. With experimental ROMs comes issues. The best JB currently out IMO is random blames jelly time. He puts out updates at least once every 2 days and the one he put out tonight is very stable for daily use. As were the last few. If you would rather not deal with any issues and just want the full functionality of your phone then I recommend just sticking with GB ROMs. Gingerbread is the last supported os for your device by HTC so it will have kernels that have been made specifically for the dhd. Though there are great devs out there that know how to make kernels so try different ones out to see what you like. You can always return to stock if you don't find anything.

Your on AKOP - try Jellytime 99.9% of that works well for many
and if you do dont for get to do a full wipe, system,dalvik etc and grab Gapps as its not included in the rom
Jellytime by randomblame is a great rom. I was using it for a while. Its buttery smooth. His version of jellybean was the only one I used. However I went back to aospx ics. The reason why is because he pushes out update every other day. I grew tired of loosing my information. Other then that great rom.

I've just been dirty flashing since R9. Haven't had any issues.

Gotta ask, did you flash back CM7 to see if your phone is actually ruined?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 4G using xda premium
I don't think you can really blame Jelly Bean for "ruining" your phone...
1. It's not "ruined." It sounds like your issues are mainly some performance issues and some additional functions; the Textplus thing could be an app that hasn't yet been udpated for Jelly Bean. Also, if you don't like CM10, simply flash back to CM7. Since (I'm assuming) your phone boots and has a working recovery, you can do that easily.
2. It's not Jelly Bean's fault. If you're migrating from CM7, which has had a lot of time to mature and is supported on this hardware, to CM10, which is brand new and not even supported on this hardware, performance issues and missing functionality must be expected. That is why your phone is "acting so bad compared to the old Android you had."
3. You're using an older build. You said you've installed AOKP. Neither randomblame nor synergye have updated their AOKP builds in quite some time. I don't know of any other dev with a Jelly Bean AOKP for Ace (Desire HD and Inspire 4G). Try updating to a newer version: JellyTime CM10, Unofficial CM10, or codefireX (CM10 with lots of additional options). And this is assuming you flash properly (full wipe and check md5sum; I recommend using 4ext).

So your just flashing new ROMs on top of old roms. With no wiping of anything. I've never done it that way. I always wipe. But if I did a deity flash what kinda issues would I be looking for if their were going to be any. I'll do it if I don't get issues.

I usually dirty flash (wipe cache and dalvik only) first and see if there are issues. Usually there aren't, but if there are issues (examples: mobile data or wifi for GPS doesn't work, graphical glitches, laggy), I then do a full wipe and flash. If there are still issues, report.

It only works with same ROM updates. Issues would be force closes or updated features not showing up or worse. All i do for a dirty flash is wipe cache and dalvik. Leaving data keeps the way you setup your desktop and all apps plus data. I haven't had any problems though with jelly time. I have encountered problems with other ROMs though just doing a dirty flash.

Thanks next time RB rolls out an update I'll try it your way.

Dirty flash works for most ROMs I've tried,but one thing I noticed is if you do it long enough, you may start to see issues. I noticed a drop in performance of MIUI ICS rom after a couple of months of dirty flashing on a weekly basis.
Having said that, I'm currently on JellyTime by RB. Haven't had any issues. Everything works fine for me. Perhaps the only issue I have with JellyTime is that it's feeding my flashing addiction
Well after doing some reading I understand abit better thanks. I haven't tried flashing back, but I have flashed the Team Kang rom over CM10 in vice versa to see what the problem was. I will look into Jelly Time and hopefully everything will be fixed.
Agreed flashing can be very addicting. Once I started I was hooked.

I understand the E4GT just got ICS, and, according to many people, it is filled with bugs. But would making an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM be too terribly hard? As I understand, the reason making the ICS ROMs was so difficult was because it was a massive upgrade that completely skipped one step in between. Hence why the update took so long in the first place. But since Jelly Bean is just a few enhancements over ICS, would it be difficult to port a Jelly Bean build over to the E4GT? Just a thought I had jumbling around in the ol' noodle lol Thank you for any answers or responses

To correct your understanding, ICS ROMs (as in TouchWiz) weren't difficult to make at all. It was ROMS like AOKP, CM9, etc that were more difficult. It was mainly due to not having kernel source for ICS. There are already some developers working on porting Jelly Bean over, you'll just have to wait a little bit more.

I also haven't noticed many bugs with it. I don't understand what all the fuss is about it being terrible. I enjoy it. I use it as my daily driver and it seems to work just as well as el29 GB did, if not better because of the new functionality features and improved battery life, etc. Good to know someone else is happy with it

My battery life has seemed extensively better than with el29. That's not to say I didn't have satisfactory battery life prior to ff18. I seem to get maybe 12 or 13 hours out of ff18 whereas I would only get 10 or so with el29. Then again, I'm also constantly tweaking my running tasks and such so my battery life generally is much longer than many of my friends lol but yes I have seen some major improvements all across the board with ICS, as well as some bugs here and there.

I manually updated to ff18 from the post by sfhub including what he said was the exact same build as the OTA update. The process used odin to flash the build onto my phone. Upon recieving the update, after a day of use I had some debilitating lag and hanging all over the place. So I was curious as to what wiping the cache and such would do. I went into the stock recovery (not CWM) and did a wipe data/factory reset, then wipe dalvik cache, then I did a reboot from stock recovery. Since then, the only bugs I have noticed are the task manager aesthetic bug, and a few hang ups here and there. However, battery life hasn't been an issue, I haven't had issues with wifi or force closing, and overall it has been an enjoyable experience. I still use the ff18 build daily.

Don't do a factory reset with the stock recovery. That bricked a lot of phones. Even the OTA FF18 stock kernel was released with this bug. Use one of Agat63's new kernels or Calkulins format all zip. No bricks reported with either of those methods.
ICS Battery life.
I haven't tried factory reseting or wiping cache, but I know personally my battery life went to $hit when I tried any and all ICS leaks. I get far superior battery life out of el29 gingerbread with MIUI on my S2. Only way I think I'll update to ICS is if Jellybean comes out to put over top of it.
For what it's worth, when I first rooted my E4GT back in May I had terrible battery life as well. It has come a long way. There are lots of ROM's to choose from but the Blu Kuban (you have to enjoy the theme) has been excellent with battery life. I had 24 hrs yesterday with email, voice, some messaging and web. Attached is a screen shot showing what I have as of now. Of course there are apps that drain the phone but they did that on GB as well. I have not regretted ICS at all.

I'm not calling you a liar by any means, but I've done it twice now with no ill effects. It is completely possible though and if so I am lucky to have not bricked my phone. All I know is after I did it the hang ups and such from ff18 lessened significantly. Thank you for the warning though.

i used to run ICS on a stock ROM and it was quite stable. However, after trying some ROM's, I'm facing different problems on different days - sometimes battery just dies overnight, it freezes, chrome takes forever to open up, etc
Can someone recommend the most stable ROM on Jellybean?
Thank you!

You want stable JB ROM? Stick with Stock then. No custom ROM can be more stable or smooth than that. Also stock kernel will go really nice with it. Don't flash any custom ROM or kernel, if customization isn't what you want.

You could get Stock pre-release Jelly Bean ROM here.
Again, if stable and smoothness is what you need and not the customization, go with stock. I know pre-release means that it might be buggy, but from what I heard, it is very stable and feels like a official stable release.
Have a nice day
For sprint stable its tomorrow
I've been using xenon hd for at least 1 month now, and I can honestly say that I have never had a single problem, issue or bug with his rom. I've flashed at least a dozen others since Jb was released (don't want to say the names) and they all have had issues.
If stability is important, stay away from kernels. Unless you want to experiment.

no bugs or glitches, runs perfectly, and its stock based so you get the same look as before. It's also extremely debloated. Just remember to flash Ktoonsez kernel after flashing the rom.
It may not be stock based but I have always loved CyanogenMod and I'm currently using the Unofficial CM10.1 and the only problem is that the camera doesn't work.

I've tried a bunch. My favorite so far for both performance and battery life is AOCP.
I am not a fan of TouchWiz, but on a lark I flashed the Jelly Bean TW-based Loser ROM yesterday, and I have to say I"m impressed. I might stick with this for a while.
I really like cm10 but the wifi issues and screen wake up made me flash back to stock. Still trying to find a good stable rom with decent battery life. I would rather it have fewer features with no issues than tons of features with tons of bugs.
I'm really liking LoserRom everything works out of the box, it is fast, and the battery life is looking pretty good with KT kernel. But that's all I'm looking for right now. Stock based with killer battery. Check it out.

I have used many. I have used AOKP, LiquidSmooth, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, and ParanoidKANGDroid. I'd say out of all of them, AOKP was the smoothest, I just don't like it. On CyanogenMod, it would hang and reboot and sometimes WiFi was extremely weak, and it doesn't help that most AOSP ROMs are based off of CyanogenMod. I am waiting for CM10.1 to see what happens.

The unofficial CM10.1 JB 4.2 for d2att (ATT version of S3) has camera working as of this morning. Apparently photosphere isn't working, but that's a pretty unnecessary feature IMHO. So far it's my favorite ROM, and aside from having to tinker with the data settings, I haven't run into any bugs.
I'm running CM10.1 (4.2.1) with KT747 and I'm getting the best battery life and performance I've ever gotten with my phone to date. This also doesn't have any of the black screen issues or anything which kept me away from vanilla android roms for awhile. All the 4.1.2 ROMs I've tried sofar speak a lot to the future of android - INCREDIBLY smooth and fluid, great battery life and awesomely stable. Especially considering they're all still in beta, it's very impressive.
Only issues are that the camera doesn't work and data can be temperamental every so often. I'm currently at 1day 5 hours, 2 hours screen on time with 46% remaining. 192mhz-1728mhz with ktoonservative.
I'm actually gunna give Task's AOKP preview a try right now. I was running it before but left because of the black screen wake issues. I was hesitant about using the preview because of the call echo issue, but it's also present in CM10.1 apparently..
Guys, the OP states he would like to stay Samsung based.

If that's the case, serenity is my favorite. The one-handed operation features are fantastic.
Curious what everyone else out there does. I flash nightlies on the same rom for a while, but I only stick to that rom for a couple months. So I guess a hybrid(you can pick multiple choices)
Probably every two or three weeks.

I wait after a major update to Android until a stable ROM appears, so maybe every 3-4 months.
I was quite a big flashaholic for some time. But the thing was that I, while being on a different ROM, forgot how fast and smooth stock actually is. When you're using a different ROM, placebo effect takes care of the rest. Suddenly, 1 day of battery with 3h of screen time seems amazing, while in reality, stock can do just as well. And since I don't miss any of customization, I'm good. So, to answer your question, I'll stay with stock till I buy a new phone. No more custom ROMs, no more flashing. And I Iove it.

I used to go from one ROM to another but finally just settled on CyanogenMod. Now I must admit I dirty flash all the time, I ,mean I flashed Cm10.1 over a stock ROM with no issues it ran perfectly. I haven't used Titanium Backup in a while. In addition I use CyanDelta to flash nightlies so I don't really have to worry about reinstalling apps.
Miui updates weekly... so usually every week so long as the build proves to be bug free.
On my sgs2 I flashed different ROMs every month, but on the gnex all I've been using is miui (stock android is boring to me, plus I like all the new features).

Anymore I only use stock and rasbean. I used rasbean till 4.2 came out, used stock unrooted 4.2 til about a week ago and am now back on rasbean for the minor added features.
I agree with the poster that stated stock gets just as good battery and just as smooth as custom though. I simply flash for fun and the additional features.

Sure, I could get better battery life with custom kernel, but since I mostly charge my phone overnight, 10 hours of battery doesn't make much of a difference. And stock just works. You don't have to worry about SODs or reboots or anything. Perfect for me.

For those staying with stock... Don't you flash your kernel also?

For most of my time with the GNex I have been on stock but with a custom kernel, though the stock kernel does work really well I got used to the extra things like headphone volume boost, colours/contrast, fast USB charge, etc. If anything I favour those features over battery life, though to be honest I have never experienced bad battery life no matter what ROM or kernel I've tried.

i don't understand how people flash roms every day? do they just not have any apps to reinstall or what?

I run the CM 10.1 nightlies, and only clear my cache and my Dalvik cache before each flash. My apps are not affected by the frequent updates. It's only when a version change occurs that I have to fully wipe and reinstall everything.
I was a major flashaholic until I found xblack, since then I haven't flashed anything else, so been like a month. I'm trying to live a life that doesnt consist of messing with my hone daily. I found something super stable that works great, so I've stuck with it. Only thing I've flashed since is the latest zen kernel
I'm battling a flashahlics addiction and the bad news is I can't afford to get cured at Passages Malibu but I flash a new one like every 2 weeks since I stopped flashing every single daily

I've been flashing EOS nightlies as they are released, I was flashing francos kernel too but I'm using stock at the moment.
Hello
I am new to the root world and would like to get some advice on what I should run on my phone. I am currently running cm9 stable but am having some issues. So I don't know where to go from here.

I see a lot of posters here cheer for CleanGB so you might wanna check that out, as for me I always like to try the latest so now I'm sticking with CM10.1 preview!
The People's ROM is a good ROM. So is CM10 stable. But I'm running latest CM10.1 ROM and its amazing.

The Peoples Rom is a solid Rom with great battery life. All the CM roms have been great for me and CM10.1 is no exception, but I'd try a few to see what you like best.
Now should I just run the custom kernel and modem that comes with the cm rom? I'm having issues with mms and Wi-Fi tether

NEVER ask what's the best ROM!
They ALL are for the users that use them. No one can tell you what is the best for YOU. You need to read and decide for yourself if a ROM suits you.

Your modem does not change but the kernel will. The one that comes with CM10.1 is a 3.xxx based kernel and is smooth. I'd recommend running the rom as is for a few days and see how you like it.
I agree with you Kenny, but what an amazing work! everything is fast & fluid, colors are vibrant and beautiful.. I have been hanging around Epic forums for more than a year and this is the first time I saw something like this! you really had put a lot of work behind this, well done :good:
Been lurking and playing for a while now...
First off, I'm really impressed with the work the developers do here! OMG, it's giving my Epic new life and more. My wife like my phone so much, she asked me to root hers and put JB on it!
That being said, there's really a lot of choices, and almost every ROM makes a good daily driver. The question is what your threshold is for having things you're willing to put up with to get the cool new features these ROMs provide.
Here's my experience in the last 4 months - I started with CM9, and while I really liked it, I had some issues where it seemed to run hot at times. I added all the build.prop tweaks for increasing battery life, and once the stable version came out, I was pretty stoked. After a couple of weeks, I tried CM10 nightlies (my current ROM, 2013-01-20. I LOVE it! I added the 4.2 gapps camera and Gallery to enhance it a bit).
I expected the worst, because I work with developers and the term "nightlies" is never something we show to the public. In reality, aside from some initial issues with rebooting on earlier builds, it's been awesome.
This past couple of weeks, I decided to check out the waters and tried CM 10.1, and ran it for over two weeks - even put it on my wife's phone. It was like buttah until it randomly rebooted in the middle of a business call. I figure, once it goes to nightlies, I'll try it out again. Still itching, I tried ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2, and also AOKP Alpha 4.2.1 build. Both builds were stable and pretty polished, but battery life was better with CM10 - at least for the time-being. If you like to have lots of control over how your phone looks and acts, you can't go wrong with either ROM. I went back to CM10 mostly because it runs everything, especially Dead Space, which I couldn't get to work on any other ROM.
So, there's not really a "best" - it depends on what you want, and can put up with if there are issues.
