Hey all!
Brief introduction, just got myself a galaxy s a month ago....and shifted out from being a diehard hardcore winmo fan for the last 8 years! Android seems to be just brilliant and am totally loving it! Its a whole new OS compared to what ive been used to (winmo) for all these years - so yep, still exploring and figuring how things work on the internals
I've been trying froyo for the last month and it seemed nice in terms of the subtle refinements all across the os. However it still seems very unstable....overloading the ram causes the device to freeze, and then later it failed to boot...forcing me to restore factory settings. Finally, decided to roll back and give 2.1 a shot....and holy hell!!! its fasttttttt! Compared to our beta 2.2 build 2.1 is a world of difference! a lot more free ram available on the 2.1 build compared to 2.2 (almost a 100 megs more on 2.1!).
Anyway, I guess we'll have to just wait for samsung to clean it up and give us a stock 2.2 rom
same here... currently switching back to 2.1 ... 2.2 is nice, had JPC installed... has some cool new features and possibilities... but its still too buggy for me... today phone won't boot and i had to do a hard reset... this is annoying ... so waiting for the official realease of 2.2 and still looking forward to it
greetings from austria
aigolf
same here, switch back to eclair.
Although the 2.2 is a such pleasing experience over 2.1, it certainly is falling short on a lot of things for a daily phone. It also is being quite a pain in the rear while developing apps and trying them on the phone.
I quite agree with the fact that it would be much better to wait it out for Samsung to provide a proper 2.2 version.
Cheers....
Been using 2.2, now back using XWJM7. I have a good feeling about final version of 2.2 for SGS. I saw demos of Galaxy Tab using 2.2 on youtube, runs very smooth (almost same identical hardware with SGS). Expecting the same performance with SGS.
Samfirmware has just published their own package for JPC under the european FWs section. Do you think this could mean that all product code, IMEI, and other related issues with the KIES "leaked" JPC could be avoided and we can safely give it a try this time?
Since i got the phone one month ago i sticked with Eclair, trying several FWs for lag and battery draining aspect. Trying JM7 right now. Still have to find something fully satisfying.
Same here, I had JPC and Doc's modded Rom installed but still had a lot of FC's and it seems to me that the battery life is a tad worse than 2.1. Come on already Samsung! let's have the official Froyo!
Dont you just hate it when that happens
Seriously ?
I have had minimal problems with JPC.
Battery life has been massively improved, lag has been minimal.
The only real niggles i have had is the keyboard locking up a couple of times in the google search box.
Weird Huh ?
Exact same boat. Tried out Froyo and it was far too buggy so went back to Eclair. Waiting on Samsung to push out an official Froyo update.

Some people seem to be lucky but I've had hard-lockups regularly - my first install failed to boot after a couple days of use, I re-flashed and today had a crash/lockup, pulled battery, another one within 5 minutes of use, pulled battery, another one within 10 minutes of use. Only seems to happen when I'm doing certain things though, mainly web browsing / apps that render HTML, I played music on it for 2 hours straight with no trouble and games were fine.
Flashing back to eclair as soon as I can figure out which rom to use (I was on stock until JPC because I was happy enough with it and sick of buggy alpha ROMs from trying to make my 32B Magic more usable).
i have now jpc on my phone and works smootly
How to downgread back to 2.1, and where to get stock 2.1 firmware ???
wow!! this is by far the most active community ever i guess we have a lot of galaxy s users....and thats just awesome ;o)
im sure stock 2.2 from samsung should be really quick in comparison. 2.1 that im currently running works flawlessly and is also really really quick! I consistently have over 120megs of free ram...and when i clear ram it diligently goes back to 200megs free ram....always!
I think 2.2 has a load of memory leaks or perhaps a mismatched kernel...but seriously guys, its about time samsung gave us the stock rom!
They provide the source code, but they probably don't provide a fully stock rom because they don't want to encourage people to flash their phone unsafely.
JPC was terrible compared to JM7.
There are a few things I liked - the browser was making improvements, and high res cover art on the music player, and one or two other minor things, but otherwise, slow, buggy and annoying.
JM7 is the best I've used yet, WAY better than JPC.
I don't know about anyone else, but mine is staying that way now until a STABLE, FAST 2.2 firmware is out. Given how the 2.1 firmwares have progressed since it came out, I think I wont be flashing again for 2 - 3 months... I simply cannot be bothered with all this any more, all I ever wanted was for it to work properly in the first place. It is only because of this forum I've kept the phone as long as I have. I respect those who like to experiment, but I can't be bothered any more.
i'm staying with a clean install of jpc (SF Vers)
quadrant 1098
linpack 14.1
feels good to me
Tried 2.2 JP3 & JPC but 2.1 DDJG4 is far more better .. just rolled back to 2.1 its nice now..
Major problem with JPC for me was Exchnage mail reply block ... well repplied some official mails but recipients dint recd them ....
2.2 not ready yet for Galaxy .. We'll wait for Final release.
i have problems with zsjp2 and xxjpc, and both times i had used titanium to restore my apps. Even selectively restoring the apps, i do encounter problems of FCs, laggy, etc.
i did not roll back to eclair but did a fresh flash of jpc and discarded all the titanium backups. i did a fresh install of all the apps, and right now it is pretty good and smooth, and minimum lag encountered even without any lagfix.
of course eclair right now is a very much more stable rom, especially right now with the voodoo fix, it is indeed very tempting. however, after much deliberation, i decided to stick to jpc, until a new version comes.
p/s: my recovery had been downgraded to 2e and it does not require any signature verification at all, and all this is made possible by Leshak.

We want to make a teamhacksung ics version with gaming mode. Just for the try.
Ice cream sandwich has great imporivements about rendering. But ram is crazy low for games. With gaming mode we will avoid this.
If you want to try an ics version of gamerzrom please vote here.
Yeah that would be totally amazing, I'm using OneCosmic's RC3.1 right now and I'm happy to play Grand Theft Auto III , without or just a little lag.. but an GamerzRom ICS would make it more powerfully!
I would love to see that.

We work hard for the scripts. We need a huge process name and apk name list for it. It will be good in ICS.
Totally hell yeah! But I'd wait a bit longer (at least for build 15).
Hahaha I wish I had a girlfriend that would understand about this! Mine just complains when she sees me with my phone -.-''... burakgon you lucky bastard! XDDD

My girlfriend is more clever than me. She doesn't have an android but we will buy a sgs2 her in a few days. She will be better than me on this job.
Thanks for votes! This is enough the see reaction! We will release it but not on v14. Thanks again!
Wouldn' t be a CM7.1 version better?

Maybe a MIUI v4 version ? Good UI with Good Performances is better
Actually CM7 and MIUI already have lots of RAM available (that's why those roms are great for multitasking), but don't have samsung's drivers, that why game and video performance isn't that great. Having a sammy rom with lots of RAM available is much better for games. I was using CM7 for long (since I multitask a lot) but was kinda disappointed in many aspects too like gaming, video, lack of samsung's dialer, music app and browser among others (sammy's browser is incredibly smooth, CM7 can't touch it). GamerzRom allows me to play games much better than cm7 (I even tried glitch kernel and it wasn't enough)
@burakgon I know you're excited to release a version for ICS (maybe as a proof of concept?), but I've tried both icecosmic's and teamhacksung's most recent versions and those are really immature builds as of yet. Eventually those will be ready for daily use, but there are still many bugs to iron out.
Also compatibility is low, not many games run properly (if at all). You get some random FCs as well, and it's a headache for people who don't want to do alpha testing (onecosmic version being labelled as "Release Candidate" is laughable, and irresponsible)
I think it'd be better if you and Chun Li focus on getting the gingerbread version to something you think it's ready, and then you can focus on ICS when it reaches a good maturity level.

Totally agree.
Not yet ,, let ICS Finally version come out first
Also I think it's better to wait for ICS. For now let's focus on JVU...
ICS : too early, JVU would be better.
Hi Burakgon,
It is indeed to soon to try to work on ICS.
ICS versions are not fully working, not mature and not ready yet.
Your JVU work is very good, and it would be better to carry on JVU.
Anyway, your the one to decide.
Thanks you very much for all the great improvements on JVU, and the upcoming Version 3.
Cheers.
Just two things to consider, Burakgon.
First of all, the ICS roms are still not entirely stable so it might be a good idea to wait for maybe build 16 or above to be released.
Secondly, gaming on CM9 beta 14 is actually really smooth, albeit not as smooth as on your JVU gaming rom. For example, I can play shadowgun and gta without lags on beta 14. So, even though ICS has less free ram, it is somehow able to manage the ram well enough such that the games run fine. Nonetheless, it would be great to have an ICS gaming rom, as compared to gingerbread, since ICS has so many more features anyway.
an ICS gamerzrom would be great!!
(i'd prefered it based on onecosmic's ics but that's another story )
however, if going to ICS means less support for the GB version of your rom, i'd stick to GB...
i wonder what you guys talking about, useing th b14 with perkas mod since a week,
not a single force close or reboot, everything runs great would never switch back to samsung stock based roms
yes please, more ICS on I9000
As said by a few others, ICS is probable not the best way to go quite yet, give it a while to stabalise first.
no yet , its a good idee to create a gamezone ics , but ics have bugs , i think that are better for you to wait 1 month until its release a stable version of ics , with no bugs or with less bugs (sorry for my english if are mistakes)
Well,as expected,since i already had ICS on my phone for like 2 months, the ASUS ICE CREAM is a dream come true.(i am not gonna comment about whining noobs who dont even know how to install a clean system).
Now i see the light,i see why the tablets are the future, i feel the smoothness of instant typing in all kind of web pages,the stability of the system (i get a 2600 quadrant score with stock rooted rom but after i have manually removed lots of useless asus bloatware in system, and optimised the kernel and system with rom toolbox).
My thoughts are,what about honeycomb?
I bought the tablet so as to replace my netbook and laptop and profit from all the benefits of android system in a powerfull system.I was not that stupid to think that a tablet is a netbook but....honeycomb made my tablet go on the shelf for like 2 months.
I refused to keep using a device that was not working the way it was advertised.
I tried everything with the abysmal honeycomb. Stock,all the custom roms,all the kernels,all the tips,you name it.
In every 10-20 minutes i aways had one problem.A force close of the browser,white blocks (bbrrrrrr), slow system out of nowhere etc...
So,why they even released a bad written software? Just to keep on with the apple fan boys?
As a consumer,how can we be protected again in future attempts of delivering a malfunctioning product?
Could you even go a legal road?
They say that the all mighty ICS is not absorbed in every device and that google will try to get jelly bean sooner.
What if jelly bean is a new Honeycomb?
Do we have a formal voice and maybe a refund or anything against those kind of politics or we have only the great xda to whine about in a forum post...?

Me, unlike you, have returned to HC. ICS is buggy and tons of apps forclose or simply are not even supported yet.
The dev support is just starting, Kernel has not been released, so no OC or UV yet.
In 2 months or less this will change. But until then HC is the better choice.
I think you'll end up putting your device on the shelf again. ICS is a bit smoother but the things it does are the exact same. It is not a miracle upgrade. It is not completly new. It is not bringing you some new exp. that you couldn't have gotten on HC.

You are semi-correct. On the tablet HC to ICS isn't that big of a jump, but Gb to ICS on the phone end is a huge jump.
This is going to be more of a one OS for all devices, starting with ICS. Instead of having 2.1 compatible but not 3.2 compatible, everything will be compatible, we'll just see Phone, Tablet or TV variants of the same app. Like IMDb, it looks different on my HTC Glacier, than it does on my TF101, than on my Logitech Revue.
ICS is just a stepping stone, nothing more, nothing less.

I've seen a lot of reports that are saying its ICS, they could be wrong/I could be wrong, But i will say this. When i'm running ICS on my Glacier, Apps [in the market] that show up that didn't before. more specifically, tablet apps show up.

I have -bought- over 500 apps and counting.I have installed all of them,not counting the free apps i use from amazon appstore and only one stupid quotes app and 2-3 g5 entertainment games are not compatible.
How you have problems with ICS is still a mystery to me,since im stating facts.
Imagine the kernel source out and a month to devs,what our eyes have to see.
The ICS is so good that i dont miss custom roms at all and that says something.
The return to the laggy HC with the practically unusable dock keyboard which you wrote one word and the second letter was first and the first letter was second,is even a greater mystery to me.
I hope that google learned from the mistakes of the past and i hope i will never see a honeycomb software again.
Corporations should learn to respect costumers and not doing a 100m race.
ICS is a very good start...

GTA 3 sometimes loads. Sometimes does not.
Peggle loads and dies.
New Game on Nvidia meltdown to mars - Loads and is buggy.
Need for Speed - Any of them. Won't load. Die
I could continue..
All the above running perfectly on HC.
Your 500 apps must be useless ones. At least to me.
ICS will be fine in a month or so. Its not ICS that is the issue. it is the Apps.
I personally do not have "issues" with HC. It runs smoothly. No reason to update until I can OC, UV, and play the games I like...
But hey, Thats just me. No reason you can't love ICS.
I tried the ICS build from Asus but it seems half-baked to me. The Quick Settings look terrible too. I ended up going back to Prime! 2.1.1 because it just seems more polished to me, and the performance and functionality isn't that different.
Once Roach finishes up his ICS ROM, I imagine thats what I'll be using. His stuff just seems so much more finished feeling.

This is a tablet made for doing a variety of things. not just playing games.
And have you ever thought that your issue lays with the developers for not supporting ICS. Google pushes a source code, Manufacturers and 3rd party developers create Operating Systems for us to enjoy. It's the app creators to make sure their apps run with the newest OS.
All of the apps that i use on my Tablet, work perfectly on ICS. I have no reason to resort back to Hc.

GTA runs perfectly and no issues. Meltdown i have downloaded this afternoon and have not used it yet(quite a gamer you are).
But lets forget games and stuff,what do you thing of the internet experience? what do you think about browsing? Is it better worse or the same as HC?
And what about office apps? Are they snappier and faster than HC or the same? or worse?.....
Can you write a big text comfortably in a web page in ICS or do you finger cross not to have force closes and white blocks and lose 40 minutes of your life cause there is no lazarus add on?

For me browsing on ICS is so good, I almost stopped browsing on my computer.
I'm one of the folks that apparently has fully functioning ICS. I have no complaints. But by the above post, there was no way ICS was every going to remotely live up to your expectations. I like OC my tablet as well, but I never had the expectation that Asus would deliver me a stock rom that would do so. I mean do disrespect or criticism to anyone not happy with ICS. But let's just face it, this update had big expectations and hype and could have done everything perfectly and people would still not like it. Nothing that has a certain level of hype or expectation ever lives up to it, be it a tablet OS or anything else. That said ICS is great for me, I have no complaints thus far, and hope that others with problems get them solved, so that they can enjoy their tablet as much as me.
Ill1 I'm with you. Maybe I'm just lucky or we with great working ICS did something different or better, but everything is just peachy on my end.
I have one little bug with the camera, if you have a pin or pattern lock screen setup then switching from camera to panoramic doesn't initiate the camera and eventually fc's.
But my GTA 3 works so do all my other apps. Things are generally smoother and faster.
Next stop is trying to root this thing using Ubuntu so I can be ready to put CM9 on it whenever it comes out

You can turn off the ugly Asus menu in the settings, under Asus customized setting.
ICS for me has been flawless, I dont know what some of you did to screw it up so bad. If you updated without wiping then dont complain about bugginess, do it the right way and then see ifyou have issues.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love ICS. But I need to be able to fiddle with settings and stuff. Its an addiction. Once a kernal is available I'll jump for good. And I also have a back up of the ICS with all my installs and a copy of the kernel so I can jump back and forth. I love Chrome.
I use a third party keyboard I don't have typing issues. I just saying, HC isn't terrible. Infact I would say its a bit more stable as of right now. /shrug

Up until this point I've been using the EOS Stable Release 2, more because I liked the idea of "stability" over bells & whistles. On a whim last night I installed the EOS Nightly 117 build and I can't believe how fast it is. Screamin' fast! Plus it seems very stable.
How often do you nightly folks update? Every day? Every few days? When a new feature is installed? So far I'd say it's worth the time to update every day. I'm sold.
I usually only update when I am really bored or when I see a feature I really want!
I also updated to JB and it is -like you said- crazy fast! I absolutely love it. Now let's hope the addition of extra features doesn't slow down the performance
Its wicked fast and super stable. Loving it. Having no problems except the usual android apps toothing problems, not playing nicely with jb, but only encountered 2 so far.

The nightlies are generally very stable, it's once in awhile you will encounter issues, but so far I haven't been getting any issues at all. On another note I believe when TeamEOS implement Linaro optimisations on JB, the XOOM will be blazing fast.
Unless there is major change or fix in the nightlies i dont flash..
But do have a question with 117. I cant seem to get Video chat in google talk to work. It just goes black screen and closes. The normal IM'ing works.. just cant video. Both from and rear camera seem to work with the camera app.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!

Up until this point I've been using the EOS Stable Release 2, more because I liked the idea of "stability" over bells & whistles. On a whim last night I installed the EOS Nightly 117 build and I can't believe how fast it is. Screamin' fast! Plus it seems very stable.
How often do you nightly folks update? Every day? Every few days? When a new feature is installed? So far I'd say it's worth the time to update every day. I'm sold.

Re: nightlies...I flash them as soon as they come out...works for me.
You see a big change, in part because you're now on a whole new operating system (Jellybean) that has a number of fundamental improvements. TeamEOS will be applying all of their own improvements from here on in, so it's really worthwhile to stay on the bleeding edge with these nightly builds.
Also, flash #118 and the newest eos gapps for Jellybean: 7/13. Your issues should be resolved. If not, there may be something in the Moto propriatary binaries that will be released when the OTA comes out that can fix video chat.
Sweeeeeet jelly bean

The speed increase your seing in Nightly 117 is due to what Google calls "Project Butter" which is a key new feature of jelly Bean and increases performance and screen draws significantly.
As to how often do I flash a new nightly, I usually skip about 10-20 nightlies unless one comes out that is reported to have very few issues and good enough for a release candidate.
Other times I will go off that if a particular bug I have been having is showed to be fixed but it really makes little to no sense for anyone but someone acting as a beta tester (and even then) to flash every nightly that comes down the pipe.
First off if you want to help squash bugs you need to use the device a lot and put it through it's paces which you can'y do if most of your day is spent flashing the newest.
And remember you bought the device to use it not flash it (although some would say otherwise LOL)
If you follow the project it's pretty easy to find the happy medium and know when to flash.
Anyone on the 1.0, 2.0 or pre 117 Nightly should really consider updating and getting all that Jelly Bean and Buttery goodness!
Not to mention Google Now which is pretty damn cool!
And just a warning to anyone on V2.0 or pre-Nightly 96 you will need to flash a new radio as well. Read the direction carefully as on;y Rogue Touch recovery can flash the radio and you need to flash that first before the rom. There is also a new Gapps for jelly Bean as well so read the instruction carefully.
But I'm running the jelly bean now and it is far superior to the older stuff and they haven't even started tweaking it yet they are just creating their base!
I want to know what you guys think of the new Jellybean ROMs that we've all been blessed with. Are you happy with it? Any comments, anything? Just wanted to hear what you all think about the new OS on our tablets.
Personally I love it more than anything. Honeycomb and ICS have been nothing but pure lag, from stock ROMs to custom ROMs. I never thought I'd see the day this tablet actually performed smoothly, so when Jellybean first arrived (and pretty damn fast, as well), I was excited. Tried the ROM and loved it, it's just ridiculously smooth, and it works. Now I still get lag playing MC3 or Monster Life, but those are heavy games and Gameloft is pretty ****ty when it comes to properly making an Android game so that's excused. But other games like Dead Trigger work without a hitch, and emulators no longer suffer either. And just for being Android, it gets even better since I can use a wireless mouse over USB OTG, a BT keyboard, and a PS3 controller for games and emulators. All thanks to Jellybean, my tablet is awesome now
And also a thanks to MapleSyrup and pershoot, for the two that gave us Jellybean ROMs at all
Yes, i like cyanogenmod 10, it's smooth and I haven't really noticed any over the top bugs...Battery life could be better but i prefer to sacrifice battery for that smoothness... And now that leads me to Samsung and their ****ty update plan...I mean come on i have waited 8 months to get ICS that lags like hell and doesn't play youtube videos correctly?...They should have just skipped ICS and focus on jelly bean...Other tablets are getting jellybean and we just got ICS, wonder how much will it take them to provide the stock jellybean...another 8 months?(i'm a fan of touchwiz that's why i *****...and i don't want a 7 inch tablet(nexus 7)).
I Skype lots so need a working camera. Can't wait till CM10 has the camera driver. Any word on wheh this can be expected ?
I have cm10 and it seems so fast but a Quadrant test must tell it's value...the previous tests show that ICS is faster but JB's graphics are better...
Now that the rear camera is working the ROM is worth flashing(I never use the camera but couldn't bear it's loss...).
What do you TouchWiz fans think about putting it on the JB?it seems possible,doesn't it?let me know... ...

The reason Quadrant scores are lower in JB is because JB puts the UI at a higher priority, basically to keep the whole thing smooth. Antutu's latest update takes that into account and as far as I know, it's the only benchmark app that has been updated for Jellybean.
I keep installing ROMs on here to find the smoothest reliable ICS or JB, and CM10 is working beautifully for me. I especially like the subtle mods, like weather on the lock screen, email count in status bar, ability to enter settings without the app you were in being closed by the system, three action lockscren... the list goes on.
Definitely gets my vote unless you can't live without camera.

Same here. I won't flash until we have a working front camera either. Hopefully it's done soon...
I would like to know why data package is not supported on gsm I try to pay data for my tab and once I received confirmation of the debit my tab keeps displaying no internet connection it only allows to navigate through the WiFi does any one knows how to fix it...

I'm very happy with CMX. I'm glad I like it because I'm having a lot of trouble trying to go to other ROMs right now for the sake of checking them out - but I'll tell ya, there are probably way worse ROMs to be stuck on! I also have CMX on my S2 and am so in love with JB I don't know if I want to go back from a daily driver perspective.

I actually used CM10 Preview by pershoot and was highly impressed by the performance and smoothness. However, I recently started to require skyping for work related meetings so had to switch back to ICS 4.0.4. When JB works with front camera, expect me to be the first in line.

Android 4.1.1? which one? confused like hell!?
Maybe it is only me confused here. and this is my first post, so be gentle
so I got excited when Samsung finally release Android 4.0.4!, could not wait so I downloaded UK Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi (I have US one).
all good, but still not smooth, slow, then realize we need Android 4.1.1 (I have Google Nexus 7)...so jumped here, checking JB ROMs. that's when I start get confused. which one should I download that has less bug? Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10? or Toldo's JellyBeanRom ICS v5? or MapleSyrup's JellyBeanRom ICS? when you read each post (usually hundreds of replies), you even got more confused...
don't take me wrong, I love what our developer is giving us! even if this my first post, I already donated. however, it would be so helpful if there's new thread that lists all JB ROMs, and clearly outlines what works and what does not works, of any additional fixes. Now my galaxy tab 10.1 sitting there, staring at me, and dying to get on JB
Cheers to all:good:

I've been using CM10 builds from Pershoot and I've been really pleased. Fast, responsive, and all the apps I use day-to-day work beautifully. Battery life is trouble-free. I do occasionally get lockups, but I'm too lazy to try to identify how -- a lot of the time, it's opening large PDFs. Otherwise, most tasks are trouble-free. Rear cam works beautifully.
Unfortunately, I'm cursed with an SCH-i905 -- and no 4G LTE until Samsung gets off their ass and releases source that pershoot can merge. When that day comes, I will wet my pants in excitement.
I have a 4G LTE phone as well, so I just tether the tablet, and life is grand... but I sure would love to have it natively working on my tab. For a few months I had to revert back to stock HC on it because I needed the 4G... now that I've switched back to CM, I've been very happy.

so CM10 build that you use is from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787399
it is safe to say that I can flash my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi (which is now on stock android 4.0.4) with CM10 build, and all works perfect no issue other than front camera?

It is CM10, even the developers hate to hear it called CMX... This is Android, not Crapple!
For me, it is running great on both my tablet and my phone minus the occasional scrambled boot on my tablet (never happened on cm9 or any other roms) which I still get after updating to the official ICS boot loaders. But, it seems way more polished and complete then the early versions of CM9. I have made it my daily driver on both devices. Battery life is better than 4.0.4 also as long as you turn off Google now and so e of the location services. It will only get better with time...
BAHA - Crapple.
Yeah sorry about that - it does say CM10 in my sig, I just got lazy typing last night. My bad.

So Crappie owns the letter X? I use it as a roman numeral when abbreviating CM.
Also, I'm curious, what difference do the ICS bootloader provide? Is it a noticeable improvement?

Haha, of course they don't own it... I just heard entropy tell someone in another thread not to call it cmx Since the boot animation that coined the cmx name is in no way official and they (cm10 dev team) have never called it that. If people are searching for answers about cm10 and people are calling it cmx, it may confuse users and make them think cmx is something different. We all know it is not, but we should all be using the real name for consistency purposes, right? I didn't mean to be an a**, just stating the facts.
Whereas CM10 is still in alpha stage, I can say that it works very well! This promises to be the best ROM.:laugh:
I was running MapleSyrup's AOSP JellyBean build for about a week and then switched over to pershoot's CM10. While I found they were very similar I stuck with CM10 because it feels a bit smoother. I had a little issue with a scrambled screen when booting where only for a second or two the screen was rolling but cleared up afterwards. I did not have a rolling recovery screen. I updated the bootloader to the ICS version and it's been great since. I also haven't had any SOD's either when charging overnight or just sitting there.
The only issue which I still have is Youtube HD videos get very choppy and this happened on both JB builds.
But another good news tidbit is that HBO GO was updated to support JB and that was the only thing I was missing since running an ICS rom. And it seems to work perfectly!
So, thanks go out to Maple and pershoot and all the other devs out there that contribute to getting us up to speed. I was just over my dad's house and updated his GTab to ICS for him and all the while I was chuckling because I've been running JellyBean for a while before he even got ICS!

I am on MapleSyrup's AOSP JellyBean, and you said "updated the bootloader to the ICS version"? I am a little confused. .how do you do that? what the benefit? I am assuming when you said bootloader to ICS version, you meant latest ICS stock?
