Are you asking how to go about installing the update, or are you asking if it's better than running whatever custom ROM you are currently using?
If you're asking whether it's better than the ROM you are currently running, that's a matter of opinion. Personally I have not tried the official Jelly Bean update, and I don't think I am going to. I like what I am using now (AOKP 4.2.2) and I don't like the T-Mobile bloatware. I know you can get rid of it, but why bother with the hassle if you have a ROM that you know works and you like?
Thanks......I have a few in 4.2.2 ROMs but if you're saying that it's not important that I install the stock rom & zip then I won't..... Thks

No, it's not important that you install it. There are advantages and disadvantages to stock vs. custom. It's up to you. Do you like touchwiz or do you like "pure" Android better? Do you need Wifi calling?
I have slimbean 4.2.2 & aokp installed & I like them both....wifi calling is not that important to me

Define stock ICS. Stock as in Google's vision, or Samsung/T-Mobile's? If the second, yeah.
What? Why did you tell them no?
You don't need to root at all you just download Samsung Kies on your PC or Mac.

What do u mean? Question is not clear. If you are asking about getting ICS on phone without root then yes you can via samsung kies.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I think the OP meant vanilla ics. In which case you would need to root your phone to flash the custom ROM as TMobile nor Samsung is going to release AOSP for our phones.

Sorry yea i meant vanilla ics, without touchwiz.

Questions go in the Q&A section
Tell me if I'm wrong...
but, I'm looking at the notes for installing CWM and root here using odin and it doesn't look like you need root to flash CWM via odin.
Could he/she not install CWM w/o root and then flash a non-root rom (non-existent at the moment, sure, but new CM9 is not rooted by default for security).
So, unless there is something I don't know, then is there any reason that he/she couldn't do as I described?
Honestly, I'm thinking of working on an AOSP rom w/o root for security reasons. I'll have to look into it to see if it's worth it, because, honestly, I've never done it. I mainly just want a reason to get into some C hacking.
Anyone else run stock rooted or just Cm even though all these 4.1 ROMs are coming out??

I just got a certified like new replacement due to my horrible reception and the reception on the new one is much better so im going to stay stock on it for the time being until JB is fully released by Verizon.
Because I'm thinking of just chilling with stock ICS too.

Stock JB 4.1.1 OTA'ed from ICS, love it, still haven't found a reason to do anything beyond flashing CWM and rooting!
Tried others, back to stock rooted....perfect the way it is!

Stock Ics, unlocked and rooted. Waiting for Verizon to release jellybean so I can manually update my nexus.
I'm running stock with one change. Custom soft keys.

I would ask myself if I could stand to lose TW features, stability, and which looked and felt better to you (if you tried one of the JB leaks). Really though, try both when official is out, because by then paranoid would have been updated several times
Im on JB TW, and I love it.

Just wondering if i need to do a full wipe when installing a 4.2 rom coming from 4.1 rom. I ask this because im using slimbean and I've been waiting for the 4.2 forever. If im going to need a full wipe I might as well use aokp now so just wondering!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
It would be a good idea; a lot has changed between 4.1 and 4.2.
Yes. Anytime you change significant version numbers you should always wipe.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Damn okay thanks, i guess i might as well switch to cm or aokp and not wait

You need to use Dark side Super wipe. It's in the development section.
Go into recovery flash the zip then flash your room again. Should solve your problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yup even used the dark side wipe...or do you mean Jamison's super wipe?

You can try Jamisons. It may help

This is the first time I've seen something like this on the t989. No idea what to to tell you except that it must be touchwiz related, since PAC ROM didn't display the same issue.

This has been reported on quite a bit. Odin flashing back to ICS will fix the issue but any Jelly Bean flash thereafter with a rom based on stock 4.1.2 will bring back the black type. My work around was to flash back to stock ICS and then load CyanogenMod 10.0. What is odd is that some phones will take odin upgrade from ICS and even from GB to the new stock JB with no problem. Haven't figured out why though. I'm thinking there is something in the new kernal included in the UVMC6 rom.
