JB or CM?

So here I am planning to flash CM9 this weekend, and of course JB gets released! Not that its a bad thing of course, but it just makes my decision that much harder. Does anyone have suggestions as to which I should go with and why? Please only post constructive advice with some facts behind your answer, no "JB FTW!" comments since this is a serious question.

Jelly Bean. The only thing I miss from CM9 is the integrated LED notification chooser. Light Flow isn't working correctly for me on JB.
For all the reasons here: http://www.android.com/whatsnew/ and more JB is a no brainer.

Maybe you should flash both and decide for yourself! I would go with cm cause jb is pretty stock rite now and if you want options jb will come up short vs cm..jb is very nice I ran it for a few hours but I can't handle the stock feel..

I find that most of the customizations in cm9 and aokp don't get used by me.
I have been running between aokp and cm9 for months. They are great smooth stable roms with great customizations.. If those tweaks are something you are really into then maybe stay.
Project butter is no lie.. JB is (for me) smoother in every day actions than cm9/aokp. New notification ui is great. Google Now is awesome and practical. You can still run custom kernels and over clock and have root... Just not those more in depth tweaks yet.
JB is the future... May as well go there as soon as possible.

Coming from CM9 to JB, I'd say CM9 for features, JB for speed.
There are some CM9 features that I really miss on JB. T9 dailer, lock screen weather, and lock screen shortcuts. But JB is really buttery smooth.
That being said, once the source code of JB is released next month and CM9 is updated to JB, I'll go back go CM9.

Are custom launchers working on JB?
I'm on cm9 but damn keen to try JB. Started d/l last night but stopped it at 10mb down. I'm stuck using 3g atm and a 250mb d/l will use up about a quarter of my months data.

Nova works on jb... Apex crashes for me.. But stock jb is smoother than both.

Once the JB source is released it will be in CM. I installed JB to give it a try but for the long run I am going to run CM.

I liked JB but there are still some apps that I couldn't get working most notably GTA3.

Nova has some quirks on JB. I went back to the stock JB launcher for the time being.

JB for now. The new features are amazing and it's butter smooth.

Jelly Bean. MUCH smoother, Live Wallpapers are lag free again (FINALLY), much better boot animation (CM is way too choppy, and the stock ICS one is just... no.) better camera, Google Now is freaking amazing, I could go on.

I hadn't even tried live wallpapers. Very nice. I have never been able to use them due to lag.

how's the battery life on JB? did the smooth ui have any effect on battery life?

Best custom rom? with tweaks and mods?

I just traded my samsung skyrocket for the nitro
so far, i'm loving it. screen is awesome, But my skyrocket had ICS which is really smooth
The nitro is rather chunky in apps and launcher.
So which rom do you guys recommend?

Andasa's Nitrogen ROM. Or hono cm9 throttle v6. Both rock.

The only one I've tried so far is the CM9 RC1 and I love it.

So far I've used every rom available for our phone, including the original non-cwm flashable ICS leak which I had to debrick to get to another rom. I would say the best so far Ho!No!'s Full Throttle v6 (fast and awesome) and the stock ICS leak (not as fast, still awesome, very stable). I like being able to Oc my phone but find myself missing several features from the leak when I'm on FT....

You got the link for Ho!No!'s Full Throttle v6 ?

AOKP milestone 6 is awesome. My new favorite. I think it was just posted yesterday, I'm getting great battery and performance with it.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium

The link for V6 is on page 8 of the Full Throttle thread in the development section. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache before AND after flashing in CWM. Dunno if all of it is completely necessary but it generally makes things much smoother. You'll also need to flash gapps in order to get the play store, YouTube, etc. It can be downloaded via Rom manager or found via Google search, just use the newest one available.

Touchwiz 4.0.4 that's snappy like like AOSP with all tweaks and goodies included, Jedi Kernel, with an AOSP theme.
Also, a build of cm10 that doesn't suck the life out of my battery.

Cm10 has always been a battery hog Lol. Slim bean is good tho and so is any AOKp build.

I would like to see master&slaves make a jb rom for our phone.

I would love to see a feature like my asus laptop has, a simply app that can change between high performance, regular or battery saving life mode right now we just highly tweaked then battery saving mode
Most roms dont show battery percentage
Automatic ram clearing coding
Some way of easily switched on the torch without unlocking the phone

[Q] Lockscreen only?

I'm running Jellybean and rooted, but I like the feel of TouchWiz well enough I haven't flashed any other roms (yet). The one thing that bugs me though is the TouchWiz lock screen--is there any way to just flash the AOSP Jellybean lock screen, or maybe the CM10 one?

Many roms include it

Check themes and apps. Morphology
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Many roms do include it... Probably the easiest way is just to flash a stock rom with it.

I like the stock rom as well, I dont know if you can flash just the lockscreen, but if you go for the whole ROM package, I would recomend you the Sac23's Unofficial Synergy ROM port, it has working multi-window and the AOSP Lockscreen option, and it looks and feels pretty stock, im on the V2 right now, just small bugs, nothing mayor, I get 14 hours of battery and its pretty smooth.
You can give it a try, just flash the V2, not the V3

Best 4.1 ROM for our device?

In your own opinion what is your favourite 4.1 ROM available right now? I know this is going to be a very mixed bag thread but just for fun to see what my fellow t989ers are using
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Rom All star v7 is
fantastic,awesome,perfect,amazing #1 for me...:thumbup::beer:

I'm using Official slim bean 3.1 with lightning zap kernel and I'm getting average 4 hours of screen time. My favorite rom so far!

CM10 Nightlies. I always get the most out of my battery out of it. Yet, the call quality on them kinda suck. People keep saying i'm breaking up while on a call.

Just to add I'm currently running slimstar and its pretty smooth on my end hasn't settled yet though
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Depends what you are asking for. If you want performance, usually CM10. If you want battery, I'd also say CM10. For massive amounts of preferences go with PACman ROM.

Has anyone tried both cory's mod and slimstar?

Other than the data issue how was the ROM? Just another CM10 port?

I am praying for MIUI Jellybean based ROM. For now, Cory's Awesome Mod; It's a WIP but as of now ... It's minimal and is a reliable DD for me. :laugh:

I'm using Corys PAC rom love it best one I've tried so far

All Star V7. Oddly enough I had to flash the rotate fix on it but otherwise great. I tend to get between 4-5hrs of screen time (tested on a plane flight from Dulles to Vienna) per battery.

Slim Bean All Star v5 the best so far...
Nighthawk's Tapatalk

Cyanogenmod 10

I am running slim-star! I really like it. new build is 26.1 ... Currently re-flashing though because it wouldn't detect my network o__o so I couldn't call anyone.

ROM from GS2USR
I flashed almost all the ROMs and the best one so far is the "[P?+Aokp+Cm] P.A.Cman True All in 1 ROM[01-03-13]" by GS2USR . Using v 19.0 currently.
Very fast/ snappy, no bloatware, has all the options you can imagine. ANd everything works great. I went to other roms for change, but kept coming back to this for smooth sail experience.
Good luck brother !

Aokp. Its virtually bug free.

I wish (ROM-4.1.2-MS1) SlimAOKP Lite/SuperLite Nightlies (made by All-Star Devs) wasn't so buggy I do badly want that ROM to work!

Best T989 ROM Setup
Based on the advice of others who posted, I tried Slim Star v1.26, updated OTA today to v1.27. It is the best of all I tried for T989. No call echo, which was the deal breaker on a few JB roms. No WiFi issues, which I had with the latest CM10 nightlies. Here's the whole sequence of what I end up doing, after a lot of trying things
Flashed Slim Star ROM
Flash the Nexus boot anim from here
Flash Walkman.zip forget where I got that one from LOL, it was in the "Extras" or "Add-Ons" section of one of many ROMS I tried
Flashed latest ASD Kernel (probably overkill I know but I have good luck with this flash as far as eliminating Echo)
Bonus that ASD Kernel flash script does a cache wipe and dalvik wipe and reboot for me, so I do it last (3 less things I have to do in CWMR lol)
Wait 10 min (hardest part LOL)
Reboot, wait 1 min
Set up Google Acct but don't restore phone! Once I accidentally didn't uncheck Restore Phone and it won't let you go back! I had to start all over LOL
Slim Star comes with an app called Update Me, full of Awesomeness. I used the Add-ons menu in there to download a Extras.zip and it's own Slim-Gapps, reboot to Recovery and flash both of those
Today Slim Star did an OTA update of itself to 1.27, dirty flashed that, then set default keyboard to Android because I have to have gesture texting! It just never stops getting more Awesome! :good:
Also Holo Launcher that comes with Slim Star did a Play store update of itself to v2.01. Nice launcher that comes with Slim Star, I set as default, has really good solid Settings organization, never "forgets" my settings like some ROMs did, also wrap around Home screens which I missed for awhile. And it doesn't try to be Phablet, which personally for me I didn't like about some ROMs.
I then disable the following Apps that I don't use (don't know if this is a good idea or not, but it seems to work)
Apollo (I use Walkman)
Google Partner Setup
Google Play Music
Music
Picasa Uploader
Picasa Web Albums
Seeder

Phone is really running better than it ever has, after I followed these steps. Hope this helps others.
