Develop Bugs

So...how many of you guys sticking onto EL29?

Just wondering if you guys are sticking to GB and why. I've tried FF18 and it's okay. CM9 is amazing but I don't think its solid like EL29 (IMO). But overall CM9 is solid. No flaming but I want to hear what you guys think.

Sucking on Call's EL29 for the battery life and lack of bugs.
None of the ICS builds last me a whole work day. GB gives me a consistent 18 - 36 hours depending on usage.

Back to the one truly perfect rom (Calk's EL29) for me, too. I've tried ICS in many flavors (Calk's, mijj's, Phantom's) and they all have various issues. Be it poor battery life, MMS not working, audio bugs, Pandora not playing, GPS not locking, whatever, ICS sucks on the E4GT. The only ICS ROM that I've had any success with was CM9, but I use AllShare almost daily so that isn't a go for me.

I'm on Calkulins El 29 myself I'm staying here until ICS is worked out, and the phone will work itself out eventually, trust the devs since the source kernel has been put out, slowly but surely we will see battery life improvements among the many other things!

Haha thats a trip ...yeah el29 is a solid build ...to be honest i like ginger bread...running calks 3.0

Went to cm9 and probably won't return to a stock ish Rom any time soon. Have had great results with latest nightly and kernel from source combo.

I dont get how you all are having issues with ICS Ive used ROMs from Venum, and other members of Team Venum. Using Dazed's Wicked Sensation 1.5 now. Great battery life, plenty fast for me. I did change the Kernel and modem to FF02 though. seems to work best for my phone. Ive used Blend, Blu Kuban, Anakonda, Boa, ICE, AOKP, CM9, Frankenstein's ego. Never had an issue with any of them. Well... except for not flashing AOKP right a couple times. Got it figured out fairly quickly Even running Placebo tweaks and havent had issues at all. One thing or another may not work on one ROM or another. but always found a work around for them. Im just learning all this stuff though. Havent really gotten in to the meat an potatos of it all yet. But Im learning.
Anyways... long answer just to say I Love ICS. Cant wait to try Jellybean.

Back to Calk's 3.0

I love ics but the horrible speeds I encounter with my bandwidth brought me back to gb. I tried everything to get descent speeds and ended up losing the battle. Even resorted going back to stock ota and bringing the phone to Sprint so they could look at it. GB is the place to be for me and my bandwidth. I just wish the forum would branch sub cats for ics and GB users so I don't have to scroll for 20 mins looking for old GB roms

ICS reminds me of Windows ME! It was just not a finished product, and with Jelly bean in the very near future, it's shaping up to be just like it. Ics needs that shot in the arm that it lacked for smoothness and other things. All i can say is BUTTER! ! !

On Calk 3.0. Considering a switch to CM9.

I like stock experience (EL29) but since kernel source (ICS) dropped I gave it another chance to my favorite REAL ROM CyanogenMod9 7/21 from chris41g with his source kernel 2.5 so far excellent. (All the issues I had disappeared with the source kernel)

Stable JB ROM

Whats the most stable JB ROM for this phone for every day use ..

Within my own test between AOSP Alpha6 (Sbrissen) and CM10 Alpha 5.3 + nightlies included (PhantomPhreak) I found AOSP JB by Sbrissen more stable. (Alpha6)

Max I got from my tests with AOSP was about 6+ hours and CM10 about 4+hours and some lockups on the latter then downhill not even 3.5hrs
I will try again with pegasusq+noop and UC to 900 to see is there are some difference. I was using pegasusq+sio UC to 1000
Stability on AOSP awesome battery not that awesome.
Stability and Battery on CM10 not that great.

I flashed CM10 Alpha 5.3 yesterday, and so far have had a great experience. GPS works great (initial lock took a bit, but now just a few seconds between locks). The 4G/WiMax was working great (where I've got 4G reception. Lawrence is not great for that). Plenty responsive when switching between apps. Google Now works great, both voice search and cards. I've been running it for almost 24 hours, and no real complaints. I'd recommend checking it out. :good:

Probably similar to the other CM10 based ROMs. They use the same kernel and ROM base after all. It seems the best battery life on the JB ROMs is with Sbrissen's pure Google ROM, but individual factors of each user does play a part.

I'd say the Frosty rom is the best. Everything works. seems like factory. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063

Frosty and paranoid android were both solid for me.

My vote is for ParanoidAndroid. I used it on my Nexus S and it was pretty good. Ability to adjust dpi setting is very useful as this phone can let apps produce very crisp/clear resolution settings.

Frosty for TW and a cm10 for overall stability

So frosty v1 is stable enough?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

CM10 hands down.
I haven't had a single problem. Running 09/25 nightly right now

Been running Casper's aokp for a week now. Had two lockups on different builds but other than that no other issues, no flickering either. Running it with ktonz kernel @ 1809. Battery life is comparable to Free & Wicked's ICS roms. It's based off all the latest cm10 builds but with soo many more customization options such changing the background of your notification tray. I've heard good things about codenameandroid too.

I keep a Blazer 4.1 always ready and load it regularly to update apps then re-backup. By far the most reliable I've had. I'm on venum Fi27 right now. Its the best ICS I've had so far.

better battery life...

I don't know if anyone is picking up on the trends here. But you will notice people basically stating they either use or in some way shape or form revert back to gb to get things done or perform functions that should be trivial. With that in mind it becomes clearer and clearer that samsungs implementation (not Google) of ics is seriously flawed. I can only pray that jb doesn't turn out like ics.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Surprised to see the support for gb. I do live the battery life, but the ui of ics is just too nice.
With that said, is calk's Rom still considered the best gb Rom? I've seen unnamed and phantom mentioned as well.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I'm on calks 3.0 and I love this Rom and the battery life.. don't get me wrong, I love ics/jb bells and whistles and the customization but the stability of a gb rom can't be beat until all the bugs are ironed out... but who knows, maybe when ics /jb is really official and there's an officialcustom kernel built, I don't see gb being beat...

On Calkulin GB rom
Only reason still on GB is not sure how to pop up to ICS or Jelly a little confused and looking for a good how to upgrade breakdown tutorial.

I would've stayed on blazer or any gingerbread if YouTube and Songza were usable, no 4G in my area and those apps would just keep loading on 3g. I honestly don't see any difference in battery life with gingerbread and the newer ICS roms, only slight speed difference.

i went to JB/ICS but the download speeds are so much slower for me on them so i stick to GB to tether to my laptop.

Me. just all around more stable and faster to me.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I'm running blazer 4.1 because the GB data speeds/ping are better than ICS/JB. I can't stand the touchwiz super-scroll and AOSP ICS/JB still has the 4G bug. Once AOSP fixes the 4G bug I will update. I have never had battery problems on any Rom.

Would going back to JMT X4 be a good idea?

I am currently on aokp build 6 and am getting bored of the holo look of the ROMs+bugs and am thinking of going back to JMT X4. I know that this ROM is kinda old and is on ICS so I wanted to ask if it would be a good idea because I heard that it doesn't have Google now and some other stuff that is present in JB ROMs.

If your looking for a mostly bug free Rom then JMTX4 would be a good bet.. It's further developed and is super fast..
If you want the same bug free experience on JB then you will have to wait a little longer my friend. But it's coming soon!
This thing makes calls too ?

I just came from an aokp nightly by whitehawkx and wanted to try out the JMT jb2.1. For some reason the radio wouldn't work so I flashed stock jb rom via odin, flashed TWRP, and then installed JMT. Radio worked perfectly after that.

I was using JMT X4 as a DD. Upgraded to the 4.1.2 JB as soon as it was out and am now using build JMT JB2 with the Beta kernel and have not had any issues. Very smooth on my end.
Very hard for me to tell the difference in speed compared to JMT X4.
