i see both OS's giving kinda same results. what have you all found? GB with custom kernal? or ICS roms?
THanks all
I can tell you this:
Over the weekend, I swapped from the setup in my sig which is GB to Innefilbis ICS v1.0. I installed exactly the same apps as the original setup & made all the exact same ROM tweaks.
I love the ICS setup but my battery life is A LOT worse now than it was with the old setup.
what kind of screen on time were you getting on GB compared to ICS?

After I s-off'd I flashed the 3.14 RUU and then flashed CleanRom 4.5. I previously ran CleanRom 4.4 with the GB firmware. I'd say my battery life is worse with my current set-up. I've been using Better Battery Stats and Battery Monitor Widget to get a handle on the battery drain. What is annoying to me (meaning I can't figure it out) is that when the phone is "sleeping" my drain in mA bounces all over the place. Previously, I could look at the history in BAttery Monitor Widget and see a pretty straight and flat line <10mA . Now I get 20-400+, for no apparent reason. I've tried both the 3.13 leak kernel and the 3.14 kernel. IF anything the 3.13 may slightly better. I might just reflash the RUU and run it for a while and see how it behaves. We need the OTA to come out with the kernel code ASAP
I went from stock gingerbread to Scotts Clean ROM to Newt's sense 4.0 and each time my battery life improved. I'm on the latest leak RUU.

Interesting...i've reflashed kernels several times but I haven't gone and wiped and reflashed the ROM yet. I'm trying to avoid setting up all my homescreens again.
Did you change your firmware (flashed the leaked RUU) or are you using the GB patch?
I went from stock, unrooted GB to the latest leak. I disabled the bloatware because ICS is cool like that, and my screen off battery drain was way lower. However, if the screen is on and I'm using 4G this beast just kills the battery. The operating system can't help the battery thirsty hardware.

I've never noticed a difference. 80% of your battery is consumed by the screen, so the only place the OS is going to make a major difference is in how aggressively it controls your screen brightness. Unless there's something really wrong with one or another version of the OS. In theory ICS should offer better battery life by being optimized for dual cores, but the savings is probably not much.
Battery life has always seemed the same for me on GB or ICS. Stock had the worst battery life for sure though.
The really battery hog for me is Sense itself. On ICS or GB I'd be getting anywhere between 8 and 10 hours of battery life on one charge. I tried so many Sense ROMs it made my head hurt. As a last ditch effort, I flashed CleanROM Tapped (sorry if I butchered the name) which is a mostly Senseless ROM with AOSP apps replacing the Sense ones and I'm doing much better.
If you're willing to sacrifice Sense I'd honestly go with a Senseless ROM. That's what I'm having the most luck with.
GB gave me the best battery life on GB firmware. i'm back on a sense 4 rom with latest leak firmware, though, because i think it has better 4g reception in my area....and my battery suffers. my life is about cut in half when i run an ICS rom as opposed to GB, even on GB firmware.
i'd have stuck to GB but the develpment for GB roms sucks since all devs jumped ship to ICS, which IMO kind of sucks, since the battery life is so bad. whatever, i have an extended batt coming my way! lol
I've noticed my dads rezound drains battery significantly faster than my nexus. I think a lot of it is sense. Also the snapdragon s3 is more power hungry than the omap 4460 which is one of the best in power usage. He's now on cleanrom gb edition. I installed juice defender today to see if that helps. Well see what happens. I hope he can get something close to what I get as my battery on my nexus has been great (over 4 hours screen on time). Much better than my incredible.

I am. And here's why:
1. Consistently LOW RAM in ICS, which leads to issues with apps being very sluggish, or sometimes custom wallpapers in Whatsapp/ChompSMS/GoSMS not loading. No such issue in GB. SIM Toolkit takes up 35MB, HDMI takes 50+ MB, etc etc. I usually only have 80-120MB free for apps. A far cry from the 200+ in GB.
2. Low WiFi signal - No such issue in GB.
3. Occasional freeze. No such issue in GB.
I have:
- Done a reset and installed everything from scratch (no improvement)
- Done a clean flash and re-installed everything from scratch (no improvement).
So, back to .75 GB for me.
Try another firmware.
Repair with pcc or sus.

You're, again, one of the many who is complaining about ICS...
Well if you want to downgrade, that's something you should do. I have to say my experience is just fine. As seen in the screenshot, memory is just fine. SwiftKey is consuming about 60MB of RAM, but besides that there's nothing troubling.
Battery is fine as well. Heavy usage gives me about 17 hours (WhatsApp, GTalk, Browser, Walkman, Google Reader, Facebook, WordFeud).
Also WiFi.. I guess you might be right with that. But I can't say it with certainty, as my WiFi signal has always been low...
I did have to do a complete wipe and remove Google's Backup of my data to make everything work fine.
And here is mine not rooted.

I was also thinking of downgrading and actually I did and used for couple of days before I decided to try again, which is a great thing I did.
Mine is smooth (well, almost there) besides the Facebook application itself and shuttering music when played through the Bluetooth. Given the fact that this is the first ICS firmware, I'm sure that there will be bug fix soon, but there isn't anything which you can't handle.
I've no launcher re-draws so far, no lags (besides occasional ones in the launcher) and I've more than 70 applications installed and more than two dozen running in the back ground.
If you want to go back, well it's your phone and your choice and no one is stopping you!
ICS had been a great experience for me, much smoother over all, issues with GB have been fixed, stock browser is excellent, speaker during call is loud, much better bluetooth, ICS animations, far better keyboard, contact groups, higher bitrate camera and list goes on.
Issues with memory are redundant, wifi signal might appear lower but I've never had drops and I use hotspot for vpn to work on trips.
Battery life is the same for me 1.5 days with medium use.

I already downgraded.
I might upgrade again on the weekend with the rooting guide.
The main problem I had with ics is unacceptable battery drain in standby, with root hopefullyi might be able to pin point the cause and fix the issue.
I do hope Sony are aware of the problems and patch them soon, because ics on the xs is pretty damn good and I miss not having it.
upgraded again. Stock ICS Au Generic via PCC.
I now understand why reviews of this phone weren't so great with it running GB. :cyclops:
The battery life on ICS improved a lot after rooting & uninstalling some preinstalled apps. I noticed significant improvement in standby time after uninstalling ANT radio (related services), Update service etc. and many other useless (for me) apps/services which were draining a lot of battery (esp. on standby)! And it also gives a lot of free ram (about 250-350 mb).
ICS has been faster, smoother, better looking (esp small font) without any lags/redraws for me. There are many improved apps and all but also are a few glitches/minor bugs on this ICS build by sony which hopefully shall be fixed soon!
Overall, I would say that ICS is Faster and Cooler than GB, but GB surely is much stable/Reliable wrt current ICS build. I am on CE ICS rom.
Well if you don't mind trying development stuff, there is this custom ROM already out there which has some tweaks and lots of things removed which makes battery life better by removing programs that would otherwise be running in the background and it will also help speed a little.
Even though, it is a custom ROM. But talking about vanilla ICS i think its just as good as GB. Its common for it to use more RAM as most of newer programs do (Like Windows 7 vs Windows XP) or so, but thats just using the resources we got.

Yes but to cache things you need the RAM in the first place, you can't make it appear out of thin air. Removing some system apps can still help overall.

Yes, as you have repeatedly said in multiple threads. However, free RAM on the xps is not wasted, it actually provides a smoother experience and allows Apps to load properly without constant redrawing and cache swapping. It's also not ending tasks for new ones to start as all the system apps which cannot be killed are clogging the ram.

I also rolled back to GB. For me ICS is just a hair smoother, but ICS on Galaxy neuxs is way smoother, so i'm not impressed.
LED notification is not working.
So other than that, the whole experience is just very similar to GB if not the same. after rolled back to GB, i don't miss ICS a bit, lol.
for the Free RAM is waste RAM stuff, i don't offense it because it is Linux, but on my ipad3, still 1GB ram, after boot up, it showed 803MB free, and it just works (fast and smooth inside out), but again they are completely different system, can't say which is better, don't comment on multitasking since they both just work.
BUT hey, Xperia launcher used excessive amount of ram but still not smooth in ICS and GB, what are you caching, app performance in GB is just as good as in ICS, everything is fast but not smooth (compare to my gf's lower spec Galaxy nexus). She asked why and insisted i should pick galaxy nexus, i can't say a word, lol. (but i love XS design and HDMI output)
So, if you don't mind GB is older and encounter many problems in ICS, roll back wouldn't hurt you a bit.:laugh:
Do you think there will be any ICS fix from Sony? Becasue toomorrow i am going to buy XS, and i am deciding whether to stay on GB or upgrade to ISC.
Nothing else i care but, wifi signal and camera. I use wifi mostly when i am on my bed, and until now I had always 1/3 signal (HTC Desire S, Xperia U). I am sure on GB it will be the same, but i am afraid what will happen after upgrade on ICS I hope i will not have any problems. What do you think?
And what about camera? Has improved with ICS?

Why would you want that instead of the task still running (or being cached rather than killed) because there's enough RAM? Thanks for proving my point.
I have been looking at my girlfriends brand new S3 with stock firmware and i have noticed that ICS is actually smoother than every JB leak i have installed and also smoother than my Omega 26 Rom. My Omega 26 Rom has all of the bloat removed and it doesnt make any difference.
In fact i would go as far to say that hers is smoother than mine!
Im starting to think that all this Rooting and Flashing causes more problems than it might solve!
Smoothness doesn't necessarily mean speed though
Eg. Reset transition speeds to 1 if you have them on 0.5 is a good way of demonstrating what I mean

I've noticed the exact opposite. My girlfriend's phone seems so sluggish with stock ICS compared with my JB ROM. I think JB has been really snappy since at least LI6.

I kinda get what youre saying. I have 3 devices on which I have the new cm10, dli8 and lh1. LH1 wins in all categories except for jellybean smootness of the dli8 leak. ICS is still king.
remember, these are still leaks, may still be bugs...
No. The jellybean is smoother. And cm10 is waaaay faster
People just have different ideas of smoothness. Some people think the Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean is smoother than the GS3 with ICS, not a chance, Some stupid people even think that the Iphone 3Gs is smoother than the GS3, which is just plain retarded. Some people think that the iphone 4 and 4s kill even the high end Androids in smoothness, wrong again. Some people think that sense 4.0 isn't a stuttery mess and that the One X is actually close in performance to the GS3, you guessed it, wrong.
Just go with your eyes.
If i were to hazard a guess. AOSP probably has about 30 frames of animation that just cycle every half a second, locked at 60fps. While touchwiz has like 40 frames of animation or more that is usually locked 60fps but not always like JB. So yeah, during the times that ICS touchwiz is at 60 fps, it should appear smoother.
Basically if ICS doesn't drop below 60fps or have memory que issues then technically we wouldn't see project butter. We don't even technically see it. We only notice it when the system chugs, and if project butter kicks in properly, we won't even see that. lol
Well its subjective, you need to ask yourself what do you mean by smoothness? For me its fast respons when opening apps and having no lag or stutterings. For this JB leak li8 does the job
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
people keep raving about how smooth the iphone is but it's noticeably slower than android, esp the high end ones.. the smoothness is just there to cover the lags
I have owned 5 iPhone's and I can tell you now that ios strongest point is the consistently fast transitions. You can move around the OS 10x faster than android. Android is filled with loads of pointless animations and transitions that just make it slower.
I found my problem to be a widget called application manager. It caused a stutter in my transition from Page to Page. I minimised this and now it's smooth.
But I'd still argue that there is no difference between my girlfriends ICS and my JB

Other roms are great...clean is...just amazing
I gotta give this a try
A couple of things...
Is everything working?
And of course the famous "is wifi tether working"?
And - how stock is stock? Do you get the horrible message in your pull down, "There are wifi networks available?", "Your wifi is off" blah blah blah. Man! That was irritating!

Sorry but no zip rom dev will ever improve battery life without coding their own battery saving applications.
I am sure the rom is great, but don't credit battery life to it
Short of going to AOSP, you cannot significantly change battery life on any ROM compared to what it is based off of. So, if you make a ROM based on Stock TouchWiz, it is going to get approximately the same usage as the Stock ROM. If you have doubts, go do a comparison test. Even undervolting isn't going to do anything significant for you with modern day processors.

It has always been my belief that you use roms for features, not performance or battery claims.
I use Jelly Beans ROM 8 and the performance and battery life is 100 times difference. The battery with heavy usage was at 56% from 7am until 5pm. My Galaxy Note 2's performance without overclocking has been extremely fast in comparison to stock, I can now watch videos with any browser without the hour glass circle hanging for an extended period of time.

AOSP based ROM's can get you better performance and improve battery life (though I very rarely if have ever actually see the later).. At this time there are still issues with AOSP here and there.. most notably the gpu has either glitches or a memory leak (one or the other) and bluetooth is sketchy.
Zip ROM's or Stock ROMS will not change either performance or battery life by any real significance.

I disagree. Lol. I'm not a dev and don't know how to code (sure I'll get flamed) but here's how I see it:
"Debloating" does save my battery a bit. Some crap programs running in the background (at all times) that I never use, showing up in my battery stats and my running apps using xyz of my ram, apps that I *never* use (I mean NEVER opened) -- you don't think killing those (in effect - killing process) has any positive effect on ones battery life?
I think it does. I've tested it. One example: anything exchange related on this phone and the Note 2. Also: smart alarm clock. That damn widget never sleeps and I've never used it. My phone sleeps better without it and I do believe overall (with the other rogue apps I kill) my battery is better.
I'm ready to be proven wrong.

I don't notice as much now, but with older devices bloat had a huge impact on performance and battery life. On some of my phones blockbuster was one of the biggest battery hogs and I've never once opened that app. On my Droid X with 512mb ram it would start to lag at 90mb free, it was really bad once it got down to 70mb free, and would freeze at 50mb free. Before I first rooted I had to use a app killer before I used my phone so it wouldn't lag, and if I used it more than 20 minutes or so I had to run it again to stop the lag. Once I rooted I started using an app to set the memory to always keep 90 mb or more free and didn't have lag anymore, but the apps I was using would constantly redraw but bloat apps I never used would be eating up all my ram, I debloated it and have been fine ever since.

Those *things* you never used are backgrounded and harmless, despite perceptions.
I have never seen a battery use screen shot chock full of apps never used draining the battery. ...
Except Maps. That one is annoying.
I am fully stock still and almost 2d usage with 34 percent left.
This is with Scott's clean Rom 1.0. Maybe stock gives you the same battery performance. But this Rom is as smooth as butter.

Hey guys, to all of you happily stayed on jb, was your experience with jb so far as good as on ics?
I upgraded to jb last month and i only last for 1 hour. And downgraded back to ics. Why?
Scrolling on jb is noticeably slow or should i say sluggish compared to ics. And so does the overall performance i felt jb. At first i thought after upgraded i think this is normal after the first time.
So i factory resetted and the experience are still the same as i was before factory reset. Jb was slow, sluggish very noticeable while scrolling in the system settings also scrolling in Smart Launcher. Not sure about games performance on jb though.
Then i went back to ics and everything went smooth again, the touch, the scrolling everything.
But i wanna give jb a try again cause ive been missing a lot of good jb features that are not found on ics.
Was the jb experience only happens to me? Am i the only one felt jb was slow and sluggish compared to ics.
Pls share you experience so far with jb i really wanna upgrade to jb but the slowiness when i was on jb i experienced before holds me back from upgrading again

For me JB is faster,smoother and awesome. . Ya Settings scrolling has some issues though.
Have you tried ckpv5's ROM based on JB ? Its noticably faster and smoother than the stock and has more awesome features.
Moreover it is better supported than stock with updates coming round the clock

for me jb upgrade was the best thing as far as performance is considered for games(nfs mw hd version running super smooth) multitasking and everything except for audio output in jb i loved it in ics....but thats just me as i am audiophile and am very obsessed with the quality of audio
JB stock owns ICS stock. I wonder what will happen when the AOSP's for Jelly Bean will appear.

I am still wondering whether to upgrade or not, but for me the most important is the battery life - how is it with you guys? Is battery life better in ICS or JB?
here is my battery test on jb fully stock (no power saver on at any point)at different levels for moderate usage and heavy usage

Battery life solely depends on how you use the phone. Comparing JB and ICS, I think JB performs better for me.
I use the app "greenify" to force hibernate any apps in background. It does the job wonderfully well.

Thanx guys, may be i should upgrade then.
My JB Expereince
JB experience is better as compared to ICS for me.
I upgraded my HTC Desire X to JB just 10 days ago and the device just works nicer.
- Battery Backup is better.
- Device is slightly Fast.
- The interface is Better.
- Notification bar is better and looks nice.
- Many other features like Google Now etc. are also good.
Just loved the JB.

Hit Thanks.....
