Notifications got changed, you can now do a gesture to show more info (more emails etc) - search on youtube.
Blocking mode added, new homescreen modes (easy mode for noobs)
Projectbutter forces the system to run at 60FPS everywhere, removing/reducing lag.
Google Now, better than S-Voice AND SIRI (check youtube).
More free RAM (check Task Manager)
I just installed JB with CM10 and besides some aesthetic modifications, specially in the notifications bar, nothing changed from CM9 with ICS. I guess with Stock ROMs it must be pretty much the same. And CM10 was a bit laggy sometimes so, seen the lack of differences, I went back to ICS:
All the hype on XDA has been from overexcited noobs .
JB is an incremental update nothing more .

JB is more than an incremental update, check the Google IO 2012 video on youtube for complete changes.
CM10 is laggy because of missing HWCOMPOSER sources from samsung, that means project butter and GPU acceleration don't work on CM10 and ROMs not based on samsung builds.
Thanks for the replies .... I'll go check out youtube .

In the s3 notifications have no JB gestures. Project butter is only partly here, not as good as on the nexus. Google now is here, but seems to drain a lot of battery. Other features that are supposed to be in JB: Android beam doesn't work with gallery (which is probably where you want to use it) the gallery is the same as ics and has none of the new gestures, it isn't connected with camera like on true JB. The For now only nexus users know what real jellybean is! I miss my nexus... Touchwiz is quite different from vanilla android and not in any useful or particularly better way!

You're right, I forgot about the 2 finger part! Well, at least we got that, another thing that's missing that I didn't mention is the throw to delete gesture on the homescreen, but a third party launcher can easilly fix that.

so when i am on aokp or cm10, and i tick the "force GPU" setting, are you saying it doesn't work?
i'm on psycho aokp now and it's damn smooth to me, virtually no lags, unlike the prev aokp roms i've tried..

First ROM for me. Spent the day half studying for a Calculus final and the other half making this.
Overall I'm very happy with it. Smooth, Stable, and ICS makes it look great.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for what happens if something goes wrong. I've tested it a lot and it should be fine.
5/6/12
Removed a lot of Sense and HTC files. Not 100% Senseless yet, but I don't really want to break anything.
Added Apex Launcher.
Added ICS Boot Animation.
Added AOSP Browser, Calculator, E-Mail, Messaging, Calendar
Added working Sprint Voicemail.
5/8/12
ICS Status Bar and ICS Settings.
MMS limit raised and defaulted to 5 MB
Some camera mods.
Added ICS Keyboard. Not default yet though.
Bugs: - I hate bugs. They'll be resolved or mitigated when my finals are over.
Can't seem to find a way to enable 4g on the ICS Notifications...
Lockscreen gets in the way of picking up calls. I consider this a bug. Not a privacy feature.
Music controls don't show up on the AOSP lockscreen. Using LeeDroid's AOSP Lockscreen fixes. Not sure if wallpaper is supposed to show up or not though.
If you find a bug then please PM me or discuss it in the thread.
Todo:
Take some fancy schmancy screenshots,
Theme framework-res.apk, Settings.apk, SystemUI.apk to AOSP ICS. # Half done.
Integrate Leedroid tweaks in a week. # Not really necessary anymore.
Apply some speed tweaks. IMO not totally important b/c there's not much speed gains to be had with much of anything besides cache size boosting or overclocking, but maybe Android has something I've never seen before in an OS.
Not sure of the stability of the file host. Will actively search for a place to mirror.

Install Instructions:
When the leak came out, I flashed Freeza's firmware. IDK what the verdict is on whether or not it's reversible or not, but I personally haven't seen any problems with reception or what not.
With that said:
1. Backup your Data with Titanium Backup or similar. I would also suggest a Nanddroid in case you want to go back.
2. Do whatever wipe style you like. I typically do a Factory Reset and then a System wipe from TWRP.
3. Flash the ics-signed.zip
----- If you want access to 4g or like the Sense status bar or the Sense Settings, do not continue. -----
4. Load the ROM. I haven't been able to avoid the step for whatever reason. Most likely my lack of skill with update-script.
5. Go back into recovery and install the ICS Notifications.

It does not. MMS completely works from the stock app though and you can just disable the notifications from the AOSP one or remove the App with Titanium Backup or not.
I was debating putting it in there, but I figured that I liked how it looked so I might as well.

If its FC'ing and the Sense one works, then the aosp mms should probably just ve left out... I know I'll be removing it since its not needed. ROM sounds awesome overall, can't wait to give it a spin.

Idk if anyone remembers empiires suprarom but after reading the description in the op for some reason it reminded me of that, using a sense base getting as close to aosp as possible with losing that sense functionality. Any chance this'll be laid out in a similar manner?

Yeah, that's the kind of style I'm going for. I'm going to try to get as close to AOSP as possible until CM9 hits.

Yes, working 3d and 2d.
Had to move the ROM to my server and it's not spectacular so if anyone could mirror it it'd be great. Since Megaupload got taken down I haven't found a good file host that allows > 300 MB.
I'm working on pulling this damn update together with what I want it to have which should theme it to almost full ICS. But the zip just isn't agreeing with me.
You thinking a builds later tonight or tomorrow?

I present you my new rom

i doubt it, i dont know much about the differences between the i9100 and i9100g but i think that they cant use the same roms (although i might be wrong).

But still i cant assure it'll work, i wouldnt risk it

I'm on resurrection remix jb 3.0.5 and I'm wondering -
I read that jb is to have actions in the notifications bar, like instant reply to SMS and call back,
But I'm not seeing neither option in my build.
Is it a bad flash or just something not yet implemented?
I looked around and except for a similar thread with no answers from two months ago
I didn't find any answer, so sorry if my noobish ways offend

This has been implemented by default, for a long time in CM10 and CM10- based Roms. Maybe it's because you are running an aokp ROM.
You can try looking for settings under system - status bar - notification. And see if an option will be there

to see more detail, but not call back or reply
Oh well, I hope the aoko team implements it at some point,
Seeing as it's supposed to be a core thing in jb .

The probable reason for this is because aokp jellybean is based on CM10 just like AOKP ICS is based on CM9.
So bug fixes and implementation of some stuffs are a little late, always.

Hey. It seems like the "new" 4.0.4 (4.1.B.1.13) is available through Vodafone. I've just updated my phone and here are my thoughts.
1. The notification led problem hasn't been fixed.
2. There's no new kernel.
3. It's a bit smoother than .587. (Actually it's not. Just placebo.)
4. The touchpad responds better. (Placebo)
5. The dialer is much faster.
EDIT:
6. I'm disappointed in Sony. I've waited so long for this update and it's a pile of t****, slow and buggy. If you're still on GB, stick with it, don't "update"!
EDIT:
7. Sony, are you playing us? Video recording still laggy, audio output is still mono.
EDIT: According to CTCaer the only real change is related to WiFi libraries. There's also a new baseband which might also solve some signal issues. That's all folks! Don't expect better overall performance.
Download: http://d-h.st/WcP
Note. Vodafone branded. Contains carrier bloatware.
Some screens and Benchmarks.
still same pathetic mixed ui
What other changes? more screenshots please)) there is a problem with the network mode?
i'm still curious about what did they update actually. kernel is still the same exact kernel as .587, bit by bit.
if notification led and buggy video record with stabilizer on haven't been fixed, what is the change then?
btw i can see the baseband is .85 now.

Total waste of time. Going back to my sweet ginger because this update is a total fail. Also, this is totally my last Sony phone.
Whether switching of a mode of a network (2G/3G) after reboot is corrected?

Did they fix network mode resetting?
Did they changed, added, removed any widgets?
Is there still double "Fun & Downloads" widget?
Does "media shortcuts" widget still takes 4x2 grid instead 4x1 which is proper?
Is WiFi coverage still as weak as before?
Is app drawer still laggy as before?
Is overall experience still cluttered and choppy as before?
Is gaming still "mission impossible" as before?
I guess it will take some time to answer all this, but we're not rushing anywhere. Take your time.

5,6,7) It's still full of lag. Homescreen switching is slow and choppy, the app drawer is the same. Video recording laggy and mono sounded. Gaming is laggy, for example, Temple Run lags, same as on .587
As for the rest, I can't tell for sure. Once I saw how bad it runs, I switched back to GB.
What's the change except numbers then?
thank god this is xda, custom rom and kernel beat the hell out of oem stock rom.
but at least they tried.

Oh yes. There are some changes. Updated system apps like: Gmail, Maps, Play Store. And that's pretty much it.

I was sarcastic. They might have made changes, but who knows? There's no noticeable change! It still has the major problems .587 had.

Like I said before on several occations, Gingerbread is light year ahead of this half-finished ICS wannabe.
In everything - period.
Beside fanciness and somewhat wider choice of apps, which will appeal to "up to date" type of users.
But everything (important) else is on side of GB really. Usability, performance, rock solidness, stability, gaming, etc etc...
As for me, I'm sick of waiting for something to happen, and then being slapped in face harder than before, over and over again.
I was using (torturing myself) ICS in last few weeks just for trying to make myself to like it, and hoping that new update will make it usable finally, but now...
I'm going back to GB for good, at least with this phone. This ICS experience made me appreciate GB even more than before. So, dear fast and usable GB, here I come. I'm sorry I ever left you.

This.
Is there a specific reason as to why every ROM I'm on, if I use PIE, or Halo I get ridiculous lag? My notification stutters a great amount, and it seems as if the phone struggles to even change menus in the settings. I can't seem to find any resolution to this problem. I love the Galaxy Note a great amount, but this is making me want to switch to another phone. I've tried almost everything possible, even to the point where I wiped all of my precious data.

I've noticed lag when dealing with Halo, do not use it an only used it to test. Have used PIE before but no lag as you mentioning. If you are running both that could be the reason. Personally I do not use either so disable those and you should notice a difference. If not, re-wipe and re-flash and start over.

I have tried wiping, etc. I don't run both at the same time, no interest in Halo, Pie? yes. I'm just baffled as to why I can't solve this issue.

what ROM are you running is a good question. if you have a ripple effect on lockscreen, disabling that can help. if not as suggested disabling you Halo and even Pie is a possible start. I would then go to application manager and force stop if process is still running and then clear cache.
see how it runs then. if no lag, you can always restart Pie to try again. if lag comes back, there is your problem. if you have the Halo option, then I have a pretty good idea what kind of ROM you are running. I would think that it is a 4.2 ROM. if that is the case, you most likely have some Kernal options to try.
if it is one of JAIMED81's ROM's, he has a Q&A thread and you could get recommendations there as to which Kernal will work with which ROM.
good luck

I'm on Rootbox, but this problem is prevalent in all the ROM's I've used, I did what you suggested, no progress. I'll check out his Q&A thread, if not I guess I won't be using PIE. D:

that is one of JAIMED81's ROM's..........I figured.
his and others with CM based ROM's offer the Halo. still think there is some bugs to work out, but I think you ill get good advice there on alternate KERNAL that works well with that ROM

Try this set up and see if it works, it's what I am running right now and so far is flawless.
Download; Carbon Rom, they are nightlies so grab the most recent one
Download; Uber Kernel
Download: Trickster Mod
Flash the rom and kernel and the gapps. Once up and running
Download: Trickster mod and sslauncher or any other launcher that you like if you feel the need to do so.
Trickster settings and info as follows:
Scroll to specific and turn off MP Decision hit the check mark at the top right hand corner
Scroll to General: Setting I have are -
TCP: cubic
Read Ahead: 3072
scheduler: sio
Frequency Lock: On
Min- 384000
Max - 1620000
Governor: smartassv2
Be sure to hit the check mark after each change and hit the menu button when done with all and set on boot, click enable and notification, can also click delay if you would like a delay.
Should help speed you up some.
If you look at the Rootbox OP it is posted by Bradl79 (not one of Jamie's?) .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42148121
{ROM}<4.2.2>[UnOfficial Rootbox 4.1 AOKP/CM/PA]<ViPER4Android Audio Mod>(HALO)[07/09].
I have not tried this one as it mentions issues with the camera straight off. Currently using uXYLON with halo. (Must have paranoid halo app installed from play store to make use of it!) I have read that each phone is different but I have not experienced the lag you described.

your right, my bad........this is a BRADL79 ROM
never the less, a cm based ROM ( I know, AOKP also), therefore going to suffer some of the same effects.
an alternate Kernal is still going to be the possible fix or alieviation to your side effects.

carbon is aosp based not cm based
slimbean is aosp based not cm based

what I think I will do, is no longer quote what base a ROM is. maybe its just my terminology that is wrong. all the more reason right?
what I keep seeing in OP's is "all merges from CM10"(for example) now that I am paying a bit more attention, that is for kernel?
go easy on me, I am still trying to learn some of this stuff. I don't mean to give any offense in misquoting the base of a ROM. all respect to you and the others who sacrifice for us. I just try and help whenever I can so the big brains don't have to sweat the small stuff.
this may be the 2nd or maybe 3rd time you have caught me in my terminology blunder.
again, I will either double check or not quote.
sorry JAIMED81

not at all Jaime............I was quoting wrong info to some new members here.
even though the information within regard to base was wrong, I do believe most help I give is accurate and true or at least steer foks in the right direction.
again, developers are the selfless ones here and I am merely trying to help where others have helped me.
