JB 4.1.2's stability for use as daily driver - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I am currently on AOKP ICS M6 and really like the stability of it. With JB 4.1.2 out, would you guys reckon that it will be stable enough for use as a daily driver?? My Nexus device runs well with JB 4.1.2 and I kinda like the fluidity and added functions of it. Will hope that I can replicate that in my SGS2.
Which build will be a good place to start if I am most concerned about stability and battery life?? CM10 nightlies? Kinda disappointed that CM has dropped supported for SGS2 and I am wondering if this affects the quality of the nightlies.

CM10 is pretty stable, for sure you can use it as daily driver.

Take a look at rootbox jb 3.0. That with dorimanx 7.4 is really stable and has good battery life.

played around with various JBs. I find that they are quite stable apart from the occasional FCs.
However, this one bug really irritates me and will be the deal breaker for JB: >>> Half Volume Bug!!!
Can I confirm that this bug is common across all versions of JB, be it AOKP/CM??

Maybe its just me, but I'm on Paranoid Android 2.5 and theres no volume issues whatsoever. First time I took a call after flashing this rom almost popped me eardrums out. Worth a try if that's what is stopping you from going JB 4.1.2 . No FCs so far either.

I often run piers unofficial aokp and sometimes official builds and I haven't experienced that bug. Not even once.
Oh and I'm obiesly talking about jb.

All of the jb ROMs are good. There has been a lot of people flashing helly bean. It is basically a continuation of the port dev'ed by Der Teufel, he devs the devil kernel. My suggestion is test them all.

I'm using Jellybro and GPS is about as good as it's ever been for my Vibe. Just "meh." If I open Maps and let it settle for a bit it will lock. Then I can go into Endomondo or Navigation or whatever. But if I go straight to Endomondo and try to do my route it won't really ever lock.

I only get Galasy S settings to open with Devil kernel. The Devil kernel 103 messed up my modem so I had to refash KB5 after flashing Devil. The brightness slider option (slide finger across notification area) works, but is kinda glitchy sometimes. But overall it is the most stable ROM I've ever flashed - no force closes, etc.
JB development has come a long way.
I was surprised how fast we've got JB on our Vib. Thanks to the devs for their never ending support.
As per my experience JB is buggy at best. But i think its good since none of the devs are saying they are out of alpha release already.
JB GPS is working intermittently on sygic gps app but it doesnt work at all when i switch to google nav.
I dont have this problem on ICS i can just switch to sygic or google without a problem.
Browsing is laggy. Battery life is not that good.
But it's very tolerable. (Depends really on your tolerance level)
But again development is on its early stage, for sure the best is here to come.
Been flashing JB for the last 2 weeks. Time to get a rest. Lol
Back to IC Zen 1.8.4 with a Jelly Bean Theme. Its smooth, GPS is working pretty well. And i still get the JB experience with the theme.
Nothing to complain really...

What JB ROM could be for me?

I am on the hunt for an AOSP JB build that has no memory leaks and is somewhat stable enough.
I kinda use the stock TW camera a lot, so there's got to be some sort of valid replacement for it, whether it's already included or available as an apk.
I think that the memory leak on JB has not been fixed yet in any rom.
Personally, I'll stay with CM9 final for a couple of weeks, waiting for the latest big bugs to be fixed before jumping to CM10.
All JB roms have memory leak. They are labeling them with the term "stable" quit loosely

Gotcha. The term stable doesn't solely mean it's the opposite of unstable. I'd like to believe a stable ROM has everything working and all (major) kinks sorted out.
There are a few "fixes" for the memory leak that make it pretty bearable. I would recommend looking into them if you can, JB is quite nice.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I wish I could shout it from the rooftops. A ROM with a memory leak, buggy camera and more is not stable. Hey I got a ROM booting! [STABLE] F*ck yeah! I think CM is the only one that got it right by not calling it stable, and branding it a preview, since it's nowhere near the finished product.
Then noobs are flamed when they ask why something is broken. Don't brand it as stable, don't confuse people. Say it's an alpha release, and it will have bugs, then have a reason to call them out on their stupidity.

Most Stable JB ROM?

Hello all!
I know This is probably the most broad question asked, but I am curious. Ive been through a few old builds of JB (CM10 and varients of Kang) but they never quite were stable for a daily driver build. So im curious, as of right now, what do you think the most stable JB Roms are out there. And when I mean stable, I mean daily driver status. I would like to try each one individually and give it my own review but I have neither the time nor the patience to trudge through them all. So just an overall consensus would be fantastic! Im running Blackstar VII now and I honestly LOVE it, but equalizers do not play nice with that particular Rom and unfortunatly thats a bit of a deal breaker for me. Thank you for the help!!
Liquid jellybean is pretty awesome.

I agree. It's awesome.

SlimBean has been the most stable for me so far although it still has random reboots.
The latest CM10 nightly was not bad, fastest yet but still had occasional reboot. Testing cookies n cream now, bout an hour in and so far flawless.

ParanoidAndroid (PA) is awesome. Along with JB, PA's options to adjust DPI is a nice feature for a big-screen phone like Note.
Also, JamieD81, the dev for this rom, is officially recognized by PA Team and XDA, and has been diligent with updates.
But almost all CM10 roms will have the same type of bugs (if any), because of the CM10, not the rom itself. And many of these bugs are being addressed and the roms are being updated accordingly as well. You can try different ones I guess, but I have not found a reason to even try something else.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320
So it sounds like Liquid Jellybean and Paranoid Android has been the most stable. Test both ROMs out and decide witch fits you better. Have fun!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
The RC3 and RC4 builds of Liquid JB have been rock solid. No screen flicker, no lost APN settings and the only soft reboots I've gotten are directly related to VLC beta. Great feature set and frequent updates.

Frustrated...

Ive been a day one Note user and loved the work of all the devs here. I absolutely hate that the stock jb (specifically the debloated stock) is so Damn sluggish. I love the aokp/cm/aosp roms for speed but the random reboots and in some cases lack of stability are problematic. As are the battery life issues.
I've tried the other stock based roms and not sure if it's my device or what but they all get significantly more sluggish with time/usage. If anyone has a stable aosp/aokp /pure Android ROM to suggest I'd be happy to give it a spin. I still love the device just wish it was more smooth.
In any event I greatly appreciate the work of the devs that are still around. Please keep up the good work.

Well black jelly and fuze kernel may help or what I run is rootbox4/20 build and 4aces kernel build 4/21...I had sluggish issues as well with 4.1.2 .....but I have been more drawn to certain 4.2.2 builds as well as ICS builds due to then fact that 4.1.2 just doesn't like to work properly with my i717....

Also try the CyanogenMod April M3 or "snapshot" from the get.cm download site. This is one of the last 4.2.2 builds that were stable before the random reboots plague came.

However the other ROMS mentioned are definitely the most stable builds of non-touchwiz jellybean that you could get

So far the 8/28 Unofficial AOKP from BlownFuze has been very good. Looks like it may work out. I tried an earlier version of this and got the SOD and hand't been back in a while. If I have any issues in the future, i'll try the other recommendations.
Thanks!
Man I have went from the note 2 to this which is a long story but damn. Jb is almost non bearable to use. Laggy and even using cm10.1 stable and rc3 it would not even play angry birds friends correctly.
So went to stock 4.04 and removed all that att stuff since I am in Germany on o2 and I have to say its been pretty good to me.
I run nova launcher and so far battery has been good, angry birds friends play great and not an issue.
I really think Samsung just gave us jb to shut us up about it and forgot to check to see how it ran.
My next phone will be the nexus 5 or whatever it will be called.
Tired of this flashing 50 Roms to get my device to run the way it was meant to be

the most stable from my experience was a cm9 ics based rom as its most compatible with the device...most roms 4.1 based and higher have reboot issues because of a deep sleep issue caused by the default setting of the min frequency being too low under performance settings...but if you want everything to work including bluetooth and not have sense cm9 would be your best choice...4.3 based roms still have many bugs such as mms not working after first reboot and camcorder keeps force closing..4.1 and up still has a few bluetooth based bugs and your reboots...the reboots still happen on 4.3 based roms like pac until you change it to proper settings

The AOSP ROM I used for a while was PAC but it started rebooting a lot because it overheated while charging. CM9 was stable for me and CM10 is almost stable.

Even the latest version of cm9 (back in 05/28/13) has bluetooth problems. Is there really no aosp or kang that is 100% functional? Weather it be 4.0, 4.2, 4.3? Came close with Liquid Smooth but still having soft reboots.
Consider Talon v1.0, because either nobody is using it (unlikely with over 3000 views), or people are using it and brenuga just built it right and it works... and my money is on the later. Seems extremely stable, feature rich, and bug-free, it is what I am going with for my work phone.
My ROM of choice is CM10.1.3. I have zero issues with it. CM9 would be my next choice.

Although I would go CarbonRom (4.3 based) or Talon (4.2 based) for stability and performance.
