Hello XDA.
Welcome to seeARMS' JL2-based custom ROM. The essential purpose of this ROM is to provide a fast, functional ROM for those who are wishing to run JL2. Basically every other custom ROM out there is a variant of JPY, and that's great, but what about those seeking a different base? I chose JL2 because frankly I wanted to stick to a firmware which my provider, Bell, has actually released, not an unofficial ROM created by Samsung.
This is a ROM which aims to be fast without sacrificing any necessary features or software, as well as similar to stock firmware but without all the bloatware Samsung has included. This ROM includes many tweaks and bug fixes which creates a high-performance phone with a long lasting battery.
It's also running the newest Bell firmware, UGJL2 (Froyo v2.2). This allows us Canadian users (which seem to get ignored quite often - no other JL2 custom ROMs!?) to have our precious 850MHz band back, while sticking with an officially released ROM base.
If you have any questions prior, while, or after installing this ROM, please read the first few posts, as I'll try to address every possible (major) problem which can occur. If, after reading the posts, you are still encountering a problem, please reply to this thread being as detailed as possible. This allows me to fix problems quickly and easily. Also, I encourage you to post your opinions and comments; it's a beta, and as such, I'll be improving the ROM in future releases.
Note: Please don't complain about Quadrant, Linpack, or any other pointless benchmark scores. If you've used the ROM and it's sluggish, by all means tell me, but don't base your opinion of the speed merely on a benchmark.
Okay, so what else?

Installation Instructions
REQUIREMENTS
-NO lagfix enabled (Can typically be disabled by booting into recovery and selecting "Disable Lagfix")
-A Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (or its variants, i9000M, etc)
-Recovery 2e (that comes with 2.1) or Clockworkmod Recovery
If you're running recovery 3e, please read the first question in the FAQ
-If you wish, a backup is also very helpful in case anything goes wrong. This ROM does contain bugs (just like any ROM), so I really recommend backing up your data.
Please note: the "wipe" version of this rom will wipe all your data. It will not, however, format your internal or external SD cards. This means you'll lose apps and settings, but not music, movies, etc.
Lastly, I recommend performing a factory reset after installing any new rom (but I'm just paranoid like that).
NOTE: If you have a Bell i9000M, do the following to (hopefully) prevent your internal SD card from dying:
1. Upgrade to JL2 using either Kies (recommended) or Odin (make sure to check Bootloader Update).
2. After the upgrade, download and flash Super Optimized Kernel, which will give you access to ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions to do so can be found in the FAQs (Q1).
(More information regarding the internal SD card dying can be found in Q2 in the FAQ)
To install this ROM:
1. Download and extract the file you downloaded above to the root of your internal SD card (both the "seearms" folder and the .ZIP ROM file).
If you would like to customize your install, continue doing step 2. If you would like a stock install with all the applications + SpeedMod kernel + JL2 modem + Generation X theme, skip to step 3 (however I'd recommend customizing your install. )
2a. Browse to the "seearms/kernel" folder on your SD card and delete whichever kernel you do not want to install.
2b. Do the same with the "seearms/modem" folder: delete whichever one you don't want to install (I'd recommend installing the JL2 modem unless you've specifically had problems with it).
2c. Do the same with the "seearms/applications" folder: delete whichever applications you do not use. You're allowed to delete all of them to create a slim install, or delete none to create a stock install.
2d. Browse to the "seearms/extra" folder on your SD card, and delete whichever extras you do not wish to install (You're able to choose the Generation X theme, blue Android Market, custom boot animations, etc). Most importantly, if you would like the ROM to wipe your data, leave "wipe" untouched. If you don't want it to format your data, delete "wipe".
2e. So, before going further, you should have the following folder structure on your SD card:
"seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4.zip" - anywhere on your SD card, doesn't matter
"seearms/extra" - customized to your liking
"seearms/applications" - customized to your liking
And a single file in both of these folders, depending on the kernel and modem you wish to install:
"seearms/kernel"
"seearms/modem"
3. Boot into recovery, and select "Install zip from sdcard".
4. Select "Choose zip from sdcard", and scroll to the ROM.
5. Select OK, and wait for the file to flash.
6. Reboot. This reboot will take a while (upwards of 2-5 minutes), so be patient and don't shut off your phone!
Congratulations, you've successfully flashed!
After it boots, I'd recommend doing a few things in order to allow your phone to be as quick as possible:
1. Boot back into recovery, select "Advanced ULK Features". Choose "LAGFIX options", then "Enable Lagfix: Convert EXT4 Without Binds". This applies a lagfix, and converts the partitions into the faster EXT4 filesystem.
2. In recovery, go back to the Advanced ULK Features menu. Choose "TWEAK options", and enable the four tweaks. For more information about these tweaks, see HERE.
3. If you really want to squeeze the power out of your phone, with this kernel you're able to overclock it to upwards of 1.6GHz. (However, only about 1.2 is stable). Download the SetCPU app and increase the clock speed in order to overclock it.

Q1 - I'm on stock Froyo and I have 3e recovery!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on stock Froyo (ie: not running Eclair with recovery 2e or ClockworkMod) then you might have to do a bit more work before installing any custom ROM. Just follow these steps:
1. Download Odin from here.
2. Download the latest Super Optimized kernel in the attachments. Make sure to download the Odin kernel, not the CWM one!
3. After downloading, extract the .TAR file from the file you just downloaded.
4. Open Odin, and turn off your phone. Connect your phone to your PC via USB, and enter download mode by holding volume down + home + power.
5. Odin should detect your phone. Load up the .TAR file in the "PDA" box in Odin. Make sure the other boxes are left blank. Untick "Repartition". Start flashing.
6. Your phone should automatically reboot with the new kernel! To double check, shut it off and boot into recovery. If you see CWM recovery, you're successful!
After doing this, follow the normal steps to install this rom.
Q2 - I have a Bell Galaxy S, and I'm afraid of my phone bricking! What can I do to prevent it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It isn't entirely known right now why the phones are bricking; some say it's a hardware issue involving the motherboard, whereas others say it's strictly a software issue. Both Samsung and Bell have stated that the new firmware, JL2, fixes this problem and will prevent the internal SD card from dying. However, there have still been reports of phones running the JL2 firmware and dying (albeit much, much less reports).
A bit more technical: Included in the stock JL2 firmware from Bell is a new secondary boot loader (Sbl.bin). This deals with the phone at boot-time; it handles three button recovery, etc. Typically, the Sbl isn't included in a new ROM, as nothing needs fixing and the boot loader doesn't need touching. Except for this time! The Sbl.bin is apparently the file which fixes the internal SD card problem.
So, if you're wondering what to do in order to prevent your phone from dying, your best bet would be to flash the JL2 firmware using Kies (or Odin if you know what you're doing - tick bootloader update), then you're basically free to flash any other firmware you wish (except for firmwares which contain the Sbl.bin, because that would overwrite the current Sbl. But, every custom ROM and essentially every stock ROM lacks this file, so you're fine to flash anything).
Again, I'm going to restate that not everything is known involving this problem and the above is based on my own research. A handful of people have done this and have still had their phones die.
Q3 - I'm encountering force-close issues, and general app issues right after installation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you installed the no-wipe version, try backing up your data and installing the wipe version. After doing so, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset, and clear the cache + Dalvik cache.
Q4 - What's this steam recovery and how do I access it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steam recovery is a new, semi-functional multi-touch recovery created by sztupy. This recovery has all the features the standard CWM one has and more. Check his thread for more info.
Please note: Because (currently) the only Steam-compatible kernel is based on a much older base version (ie: not XXJPY), a small amount of features are incompatible, such as lagfix options, kernel options, etc. However, the majority of features (such as mounting, wiping, etc) are working just fine. I'm working on getting everything working; as soon as it is, it will fully replace CWM on this ROM.
To enable it, just boot into CWM and go to "Apply sdcard: update.zip". After doing this, it will boot into the new Steam recovery. You must do this every time you want to access it.
Q5 - My GPS isn't working! It takes forever to lock and displays my position inaccurately!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try clearing the GPS data on your phone. Do the following: (Original poster unknown. Reposted by dpvu.)
1) Enter *#3214789650# into the dialpad.
2) Under "Application Settings" set the Start Mode to Coldstart.
3) At the main menu "Delete GPS Data".
4) At the main menu "Get Position Test".
If you're still not finding many satellites try setting Operation Mode to "MS Based" in the "Application Settings". I did all of this then set the GPS back to hot start.
Lastly, if you desperately want to fix your GPS, try flashing the JK4 modem. There have been different reports, but it has been regarded by some as the best modem for GPS. To flash it, download the modem, and use Odin to select the "modem.bin" file in the PHONE box. Go to Settings -> About on your phone after flashing and look at Baseband to ensure it flashed correctly.
Download the JK4 modem from the Downloads section. http://www.multiupload.com/3HOKWMBHO2
Q6 - My battery is running out very, very quickly!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are many, many things which may cause the battery to run out quickly. I'll go over a few of the problems here:
1. After a fresh install of a ROM, the battery may be uncalibrated. Try charging your phone, and use it normally until it discharges. Repeat this 2-3 more times; your battery meter should be accurate again.
2. Clearing your batterystats.bin has been said to help fix the problem, and improve battery life by a lot. Charge your phone to 100%, then boot to recovery and clear batterystats.bin (by selecting wipe battery stats). Reboot, and use your phone normally until it shuts off by itself. After it does, charge it up fully, and you're good to go.
However, it's worth stating a few things: the above method has been put down by some users, who state that the batterystats.bin only contains a history of the battery usage and nothing more. Also, the Galaxy S contains a Li-Ion battery, which technically shouldn't be fully discharged (in order to extend the life of the battery). Do the above at your own risk.
For a few more fixes, please visit this thread.
Q7 - What's all this talk about the 850MHz band and modems?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The 850MHz band is a 3G band which apparently has better range and reliability (as opposed to the higher frequency 1900MHz band). It's basically only used in Canada (and I guess Australia?) but cell carriors like AT&T in the US are trying to make it the standard. Because of this, the i9000 International (not the Bell Galaxy S, i9000M) doesn't have the functionality to connect to the 850MHz band.
To get back this band, you have two options: flash any international ROM (JPY, JPX, JPO, etc), then flash a Canadian modem (JK4, JL2) afterwards. The second option is a lot easier: just install a ROM that contains a Canadian modem already (ie: this ROM, or stock JL2).
Q7 - I'm unable to back out of the Contacts application when I select it in the Launcher Pro dock.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a known bug, but has a very easy fix: just long press on the Contact icon in the LP dock, and change the shortcut to the "Contacts" application.

After using seeARMS' rom for a few days now I can't believe how fast and smooth it is. Everything is like butter. No lag or hiccups anywhere. Even something as simple as typing on the keyboard is now instant with no delay when typing quickly.
Its now on par with the iPhone 4 as far as OS responsiveness. I hate iOS, but it always runs like butter. Well this phone does too now!
GPS is insanely fast now too. Wow. If I open Google Maps I get a lock of 10m in about 5 seconds. This is IN MY HOUSE!

a HUGE thanks to seeARMS.... my phone was crap out of the box, as in I couldn't access most of my settings menus. That included WiFi... kinda ridiculous don't you think?
After much frustration, and lots of research, I stumbled upon this brilliant ROM made from the JL2 I originally had. There were a few issues flashing (because Vista SUCKS and I'm used to a single user on W7) but my phone is FINALLY WORKING!!!
Thanks again seeARMS, great work.. the ROM looks slick and running smooth as can be.
On another note, my brother got a SGS about a week and a half after I got mine, and his was loaded from Nov. 2010 (mine Dec. 2010) and had the JK4 ROM, which I heard has issues. So, instead of taking the phone back and risking an older, even crappier version, I am glad I undertook the process of flashing and upgrading to a much better, home-brewed ROM.
Again... thanks...

Yeah, I'll upload one now. It takes quite a long time to upload a file though, so it should be ready in an hour or two.

Great job seearms!!!
Quick question for you though, I have the bell variant also but unlocked it and using it with Rogers ... I've never used these bell firmwares, jumped straight to xxjpy no problem. Can you tell me what you meant about Canadian users getting back their 850 band? Are you saying on xxjpy I don't have 850?? When I check in the dial codes it does say I am on 850 ... always have been too..
Can you elaborate please? Thanks in advance!!!

I believe the I9000 International phones do not support the 850 band HSPA (3G) network, so all their ROMs do not include this band. The Bell Galaxy S Vibrant, however, does support it, which is why Bell includes this band in their firmware.
To confirm that you don't have this band, type this into the Phone app: *#*#0011#*#*
Look at the third line down. It depends on your location, but it won't say 850MHz. In the Debug menu you're able to select it, but it won't actually work.
Flashing a Canadian (bell) modem, or a Bell firmware which includes the modem, gives back your 850MHz band.

You do know that Doc has JL2 modem on his kitchen right? 850 works perfectly. No need to base entire ROM off JL2. IMO JPY is better ROM to work from.

Yep, I know. My other custom ROM is actually based on XXJPY running a JL2 modem.
I've run both this ROM and the custom JPY ROM and I gotta say, I prefer this one. No battery drain, no problems.
Maybe it's because two of my phones have died (one running JPY) so I'm paranoid, but I'm sticking to JL2.
Also, Samsung has stated that JL2 supposedly fixes the internal SD card problems, and there have been much, much less reports of phones dieing running JL2.
Regardless, I'll be running this rom either way.

Yes I have heard the miracle stories of JL2 for failed sd cards. Luckily my dad and I have not suffered from that on our I9000M's. I guess I like the feeling of the better kernel with more RAM on JPY.

What kernel? This ROM is running harcore's SpeedMod. If you're running the same kernel, it'll be the same amount of RAM.
EDIT: Also, the no wipe version has been added. Check the 2nd post to download!

I agree with seeARMS, let's keep this a safe JL2 Version, it helps keep all the proper Canadian location and Bell settings and our internal SD from frying.
I have installed the ROM and restored all my data using ClockworkMod Recovery. WORKING GREAT! I did have to delete the "com.cooliris.media" folder found in Android/app/data/ as it was causing trouble but it gets recreated. I also had to reROOT using SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse but that is normal after installing a new stock ROM.
Great Work!

Was there an error message involving that cooliris folder? I can easily add a few lines of code into the error checking shell script to delete that folder, I'm just curious as to why it was causing problems.
And, why'd you re-root it? This ROM is already rooted + contains Superuser and Busybox.

becuase mark deleted it on xda and put it on a Russian development site
not russian
german
does anybody have the german site where mark moved? it's worth following if he continues to develop quality xplay roms albeit in german. (we can always use google translate)

The intro says:
Hello Android community! I'm an advanced developer of custom roms on XDA.
I'd like to continue my Xperia Play Z rom here. The rom will be available on Android-Hilfe.de starting today (May 4th 2013).
I've invested a lot of time and I hope you appreciate it more than the XDA community.
Instructions:
1. Download the rom and put it on your SD card
2. Also download R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf (link on german site)
3. Flash the .ftf file using flashtool.
4. Unlock the bootloader (link on german site is... you guessed it, german)
5. Download Lupus Stock ICS&GV v4 kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167766
6. Flash it using fastboot with the command: fastboot.exe flash boot xxx.img (don't forget to put your phone into fastboot mode)
7. Now go to recovery: press the volume down after the vibration
8. Go to install a zip and find the rom.zip you downloaded
9. The first boot takes a while, be patient
Hi, I have tested the v.1.1.0, and debloated it a lot to see if I can get more free ram to play real racing 3 on this Rom, but I can't get more than 120/130Mb, if you guys got more than this, could you help me please??
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
this rom has 100 mg of ram reserved for gaming so it means you have 220-230mg free of ram
Mark has just recently released v1.2.0
Changelog:
PSPocket removed
Send anonymous user status removed
Several duplicates deleted
Browser replaced by Chrome WALKMAN, album and movies updated to latest version
New Sony sound driver
Odekaka. Apk, DTCIPlayer. Removed
New scripts for more stability
it's one of the better ICS. i tried it and everything worked fine (except display bug in the timer app - but it's a theming issue from the z version i guess).
but don't expect a fluid experience like on GB. it comes quite near but for every day use i need to spare every second i can.
version 1.1 ran real racing really good for me. fluid. does not feel it falls behind GB. every 3d game should run fine. but in CPU intensive tasks like emulators (N64, PSX) - GB is the way to go if you don't want to overclock and loose battery life.
krisdee's hybrid rom also looks promising. if someone want to try ICS i would recommend those two.

v1.2.0 is a little buggy and seems slow but the An Tu Tu score is higher ,also Mark announced he's working on v1.2.1.
My advice is stay on v1.1.0 as it is more stable or wait for 1.2.1
UPDATE: Mark is no longer working on v1.2.1, he's moving straight into v1.3.0 (Maybe Final)
Overall v1.2.0 works pretty good but the inclusion of Chrome as default browser makes it more unstable because it uses more ram than the ICS standard browser.
Maybe v1.1.0 is a little more balanced and stable.

I'm curious to know if you had any problems with link2SD on v1.2.0. Because whenever i reboot i get the following message:
Right now I'm not using Link2SD.
Using Phoenix rom and Lupus ICS&GB v5 kernel before flashing the Xperia Play Z rom I have 610MB of internal data storage so moving apps to the SD card in the classic way it's fine for me.
can anyone compare games performance with gb?
task switcher was slow as hell and for every day usage i was not satisfied.
already tried 1.2.0+gb&ics v3...good theming everything works but...this rom is a mess,took me 1 hour to debloat it.working smooth on the "home" screens.
gaming not so good real racing 3 lags...luncher got killed too often becuase of the "100 mb reserved" thing.
when you open the apps list the transition between screens is not smooth.and i checked and its rom fault.becuase the home screens are smooth and overclock is not helping.
1.1.0 is better?real racing 3 lags?how much free ram the 1.1.0 have?

In my opinion v1.1.0 is better as it is more stable.
I'm not sure if real racing 3 lags, but i play need for speed most wanted and it runs smoothly.
I get around 150mb of ram free using Memory Booster but i use tasker and other programs that constantly run in the background so you might be able to get more
Hi,
My Note is hardly 5 months old and i see that to dial a number twice it's taking 10 seconds! It pauses, returns back to the dialer and then finally dials. I'm wondering whether flashing a custom ROM will solve this problem and also if i flash one, is my warranty void for eternity?

Greetings,
It might be a good idea to install Quadrant (benchmark) and run it after you restart your device, to have a check on the hardware capabilities and compare.
If your device is loaded with some applications that hog its RAM with background processes you may need to uninstall them. Check your application manager, go to running applications to see what is using your memory.

It's your choice mate but keep in mind that on some ROMS you would lose some of the unique capabilities of your s-pen or some other stuff like HDMI out (on non touchwiz based roms).
I like to have a best of both worlds and running Criskelo ROM (tw based) v17 with saber kernel. It's still 4.2.1 but rock stable, great battery life and with overclock it's faster than stock ROM but you would need to run a benchmark to notice it.
Hi friend you can choose Swift rom, im using it and it is fast and im having a screen time of 8:30 hours, you can try it, or choose an aosp rom but youll lose all the s pen functions and the sammys camera, you can even try changing other kernel, hope i helped

That was just a discussion thread... and now some people think that just because it can run on 512MB RAM they can install it on their phones straight away... If kitkat ever comes to the Arc/S it will take a while for it to become stable enough for daily use. Also, the drivers we use are old since there have been no updates. If you guys want kitkat running successfully on this device, these old drivers need to be integrated with the new software, which is very tedious. Mike is already going to drown under 4.2 and 4.3, adding another OS to the pile will place him under more stress.
Don't assume the work we developers do is simple, just because an update came out that meets the system specifications means it can run just by downloading and installing it in recovery. If you ever tried to create a ROM by yourself, you'll find out that a lot of work needs to be done, along with many user complains and flooding your development thread with useless posts. That's how messed up the user community is nowadays. Jader's UHD ROM thread is one example of how users interact with the developer.

I just point to that thread so he and anybody with the same question can see that it really going to depends on how google code it and how hard could be for the developers to bring that code to our devices...
I never declared that it will be a fact, but you have to admit that the 512 MB its a nice hope.

Yes, it's possible to port Android 4.4 for our device but it all really depends on if there will be any developer / developers who want to spend their time porting 4.4 for our device. Mike have started working on it for our devices, but we will see when or if he releases it or not.
I might see if I'm able to sync the sources, but the main problem on my end is that my PC is really bad and not suited for development.

Just as a suggestion, I'm currently using VanirAOSP and it's pretty good. All I've to say is that right now one should get the vanir_anzu_4.4.2.012814 version, as the latest, vanir_anzu_4.4.2.022314, has a few additional bugs. On the mentioned good version WiFi works, everything is fairly smooth and you're left with enough space to actually install the apps you want, which seems to be an issue on many roms due to Arc's small internal memory.. Only real problem's the default browser lagging terribly, but I hear that's a general issue? Anyway, for anyone interested in kitkat on Arc it's definitely worth checking out.

Tried it. Really cool ROM, some minor bugs but its OK
KitKat 4.4.2 AOKP and ART-runtime enabled
It is very well possible to use KitKat 4.4.2 on our phones. Even with ART-runtime enabled. I personally use AOKP (Android Open Kang Project)'s KitKat version, and I managed to get ART-runtime enabled and running very fast and smooth.
You can find the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624761
Of course you have to first install the kernel, which is given in the zip-file. Just unzip the kernel and Flashboot it to your device. Then go into CWM-recovery and go to Mounts and Storage and activate USB-mount. Locate the full AOKP-zip and place it on your SD-Card, as wel as the minimal Gapps for 4.4.2., found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857. Unmount the USB, and install the zip as usual through the menu for it. Then, after installing AOKP, install the minimal Gapps.
Reboot and let your device sit for a while, or play around with it a bit....
I proceeded with installing Mounts2SD from playstore, while before having prepared my class10 8 Gb sdcard into two partitions. One partition FAT32, size about 6Gb and one partition EXT2 size around 2 Gb. Move everything to SD-card through the menu of Mounts2sd, except Dalvik-cache. NEVER MOVE THIS!!! (Don't move dalvik-cache to SD...)
Reboot at least two times to let the script (Mounts2sd) settle in... After this I installed Pimp-my-Rom from playstore and activated the nav-bar and some other scripts to improve the experience. Also I odexed (after finishing all my modifications) the phone through this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527732
I then went to CWM-recovery through a reboot and made a full backup, which I advice you to do also, in case something goes horribly wrong.
Reboot to AOKP. As you can see, this ROM is awesome-fast beyond belief already. I had benchmarks in AnTuTu of around 6000, with NoFrills-CPU at 1401 Mhz. But, it can be faster if you choose to run ART-runtime instead of Dalvik. Be sure to remove all unwanted programs before switching to ART-runtime, because it'll take a lot of space in cache, and every program you don't need (system-programs that is) will reserve more space for ART.
Only and ONLY if your system is running smoothly on Dalvik, I advise you to go to your Phone-settings, (under Settings of course) and tap on 'Build-number' like 10 times. You will now become a developer. An extra menu will appear under Settings, where you can choose to run the ART-runtime library. Choose this and you will reboot.
Wait, wait and wait a long time for reboot. After initial booting everything has to be updated to ART-compiled apps. This will take a long time per app. Just wait and don't disturb your phone. If you get to the phone after booting, then you probably succeeded... You can check under the same settings-tab under Developer-options. If ART is selected, then you have it.
I strongly advice in case of mishaps regarding loss of network etc. to just reboot. Wait, wait and eventually you'll get there. Make a backup as soon as you have a stable working system under CWM-recovery.
I have been running stable ART under this AOKP-rom for about two weeks now and I'm really happy with it. Not only is the phone lightning-fast (6417 under AnTuTu, with CPU on my Arc LT15i on 1401 Mhz), but smooth as hell! Batterytime is amazing. This is as fast as it's gonna get! (I must have tried almost every ROM out there from stock 4.0.1 to 4.4.2...)
Hope you'll try and may it work for you too...!
(BTW my ultimate thanks to the guys from Open Kang Project!)
P.S. stock-browser is lagging... as usual under 4.4, but I use Dolphin and it is fast! Some toggles require reboot to function again. Some programs might fail you due to not being ready for ART. Facebook is a mess for instance, sometimes quitting unresponsice etc. Otherwise I have encountered no problems whatsoever.
Tried ION kernel and stuff and I can say that apart of one or two really minor bug the KK experience is just awesome and will be better within some months i suggest you to follow all the "Xperia Overlay" thing a I hope it gonna be amazing:laugh:

i've tried many roms n tweaks, GB is still the best (least bugs).

best is still rooted stock rom without samsung bloated widgets, add my own tweaks (with init.d support).
no fc, no bugs (compared to custom roms), longest battery operating life (if dun play power hungry game like candy crush).
normal usage, ie. phone, messaging, listen to music n radio, battery at 50% after 2 days 10hrs. :good:
play power-hungry games (candy crush sage), last 3~4hrs.
edit:
charging was due to transferring of video clips when usb was plugged, ti also charge the phone.
anyway, it still is far better than buggy custom roms, ie. i have to charge my phone every day.

remove all tweaks or enhancement apps, no need any.
i find tat most dont work becoz they r directed at non-existence, non-changeable, non-rewriteable or non-virtualise parameters.
a placebo effect(s) if u believe their tweaks really works or it works on benchmarking but severely lagging in real life usage or at random, sometime good and sometime bad, unknown and uncertain.
i complied tweaks tat i find it works and re-direct parameters so it will work properly.
note: not for any other phone (not even gw custom roms), strictly for rooted stock rom gw only.
.
attached is rar (zipped two files), one is an add-on file for build,prop and a script file (these r not flash-able files).
unzip and copy to your phone sdcard.
add-on file, open build.prop.addon file, copy all texts and close.
open build.prop in /system and paste texts at the end of file, save file.
script file, either use init.d support, copy n paste script file to etc/init.d, change permission chown to root,shell
or use script manager to load at boot.
done, reboot.
note:
use it at your own risk, it's working great on my phone.
