Hi i am on ICS and is perfect to me, but im considering updating to JB 4.1.2 because of the alleged Sudden Death fix of the new rom.
But im wondering this:
1) How the battery duration compares, using the same configuration on both ICS and JB 4.1.2, witch one last longer and how much longer?
2) Witch one uses more system ram?
3 Does JB 4.1.2 has any bugs or anything bad that ICS doesn't has?
jelly bean takes up more ram, cpu and battery..but is a lot faster than ics and doesn't have any bugs
Hope it helped

Unfortunatly,Google isn't gonna fix battery drain on S3's devices until the release of it's latest Android Version 4.2 Key Lime Pie as i read on Android with me website Google will launch with Android 4.2 a Project known as Project Roadrunner which means increased FPS NDLR and improved battery life with a significant amount better than any other previous Android version including JellyBean.Hope this helps!
I am getting a reasonable battery life on stock ics and the leaks had slightly better battery life as well... so I assume the official release will have a better battery life than the stock ics..

JB didnt fix battery life..for my experience, ICS have longer battery life than JB.
Hi all,
I keep reading but I don't seem to find a definite answer for this question. I read somewhere that because of i9300 processor (samsung didn't reveal the codes or sth) the performance and battery life on Custom ROM based on AOSP and CM is not as satisfactory as Stock or Touch-wiz based roms.
Is this true? I love to use CM but the battery indeed seems to drain faster. Any idea of when i9300 users might get to use solid AOSP or CM based ROMs?
Thanks mates!
I am curious about this too. It seems that AOSP ROMS will always be imperfect as long as the Exynos codes arent released.

I have messed around with a few ROMS (mainly sammy based one's) and using a SAMMY ROM with a new launcher is a strong base.
Why not start by finding a good sammy based ROM (i'm using Viking ROM although may switch to HyperLight) get a nice setup, then you can simply backup and mess with ASOP & CM yourself knowing you have a rock solid alternative to fall back on.
You can make up your own mind then ^^

Cm10 is rock stable and has better battery life than sammy. (For me) but camera has some problems. Just try it. You can always revert it to sammy

CM10 is still nightly build right? I tried some ROMs like slimbean and liquid smooth but the battery performance is significantly not as good as stock. Am i right?
Yes right...
The stock ROM gives awesome battery life...
I tried CM10 but it seems to drain battery faster...i mean not that faster...
On my galaxy sl i9003 you cant even imagine what actually battery drain is....
Life 7hrs and gone but on my S3 the battery is OK about a day or day and a half and still 34% left !!

Wah. A day and a half??? I can't even achieve it with stock rom. What kind of tweaks do you use?
I just rooted a while ago and have just been flashing ROM this and that. Have never tried custom kernels or mods.
Would love to hear some tweaks that will last me 1.5 days with CM10. haha. Share with me bro.
If you can tolerate the few minor issues/glitches here and there, nothing beats CM10.

okay. So i do not need any kernel and tweaks for excellent battery life is it?
tried so often cm9&cm10, lately slimbean.
was AOSP fan on my desire, but not on the s3 (yet)
none of them made me stick to AOSP for more than 1week...
too many "bugs" - minor things who annoyed me like: **** camera&video (unstable), battery life, calling bugs (low voice volume) etc
ive to admit that slimbean + siyah kernel beats everything, the battery life is rly nice (nearly liek sammy roms). siyah kernel helps alot concerning the battery life on AOSP!
still ive to use a sammy rom cuz of stability and reliability.
id look forward to a fully working AOSP rom, hopefully soon.

What good is a ROM that is stable (as in doesn't crash) but ISN'T fully functional (as in has issues w/ hardware) ?
I want a ROM that is both stable and fully functional, even if it isn't the benchmark champion.
For me, the stock ROMs offer the best of the 2 worlds: they are stable and functional.
Yeah, let the flame start, but I am yet to see an AOKP/AOSP/CM ROM that doesn't have a single issue with hardware.
So, stock ROMs for me are the winner.
I use NOVA Launcher Prime, BTW, but the TouchWiz that came with today's stock JB (France, XEF) is extremely fast and as customizable as Nova Launcher.

There is miui rom that offers sammy+miui experience. I think it's called rayglobe, but it's based on 4.0.4 so it is never as smooth as jb

I know it sounds like a dumb question but is the Jelly Bean Roms created for SII actually running Jelly Bean OS made for the SII hardware? This is just a question because I don't know this level of the OS. I do know JB is a faster OS because the CPU no longer clashes GPU when the previous OS they did. I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terminology because when I read about Jelly Bean, Jelly Bean wasn't even out yet.
The reason I'm asking is because when I upgraded my ROM on my S3 from stock ICS to the stock JB I noticed a slight speed difference. I also noticed a Quadrant speed difference with when I ran a test before and after. I performed 3 test each before and after to get an average.
I did the same test on my on my S2 which was running the stock ICS rooted. I tried a couple of JB Rom's and the Quadrant test where just about the same as ICS which reason for my question.
Besides the speed difference, I like the JB Rom's much better. I just thought I would see a tad more speed going to JB.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I think you're asking about project butter, but you don't know what you're talking about with that.
Sent from my Zanpakuto using Getsuga Tensho!
1) Yes, the ROM is S2 ROM, including kernel for S2 HW.
2) Benchmarks generally and Quadrant specifically are one of the most useless inventions phone-wise.
3) The "speed-up" is visual only.
Greetings my dear friends.
I'm here to give my verdict on the upgrade to ICS after 2 months using the ICS Stock ROM I could finish something. Read and understand.
I have an XPERIA U ST25a retail brazilian.
Sure, the stock ICS ROM is very attractive, all good new stuff found in Android 4.0 are very good, like the new UI or settings menu, the toggles easily accessible are very useful, but the apparent instability and slowness (in moments) make me think why I bought this phone, and also think about going back to the old but great stock GB ROM.
And yes, i use ICS ROM, I made my own modifications and tweaks to the all-bloated ICS Stock ROM get the maximum performance.
But the bugs are really ridiculous.
The battery only charges sometimes if the phone is restarted, otherwise the indicator will be locked at 39%, for example.
The camera seems to be slow compared to the old Stock GingerBread ROM.
The open / close applications is not slow, but sometimes the application takes to respond as if something sucking the system performance.
All these bugs may (or may not) be Sony's problem, but since the era of my old devices I have these SAME problems in some ICS ROMs (I've also tested the FXP CM9 rom, and believe me, if you fill up with apps, will be slow too).
It seems that Android 4.0 ICS is always buggy and slow, and then Eclair 2.1 (horrible) then followed by the 2.2 Froyo (good).
My conclusion: Don't upgrade if you hate a phone will be a little bit slower.
I just do not go back to stock GB ROM why I still enjoy a good user interface instead of performance.
But if you do not like one bit of minimal slowdowns or some bugs, DO NOT bother upgrading to ICS. Just a beautiful day, we have the long awaited Jelly Bean. Even if it is a CM10, the "Butter Project" realizes disappear with lags. And all these little problems may be fixed.
I just let my experience here on this upgrade does not seem that there be a good idea.
Thank you very much
What ics firmware build number are you talking about?
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
About any ICS firmware. I've tested B.1.10, B.1.54 and C.1.10 and of these three have similar and different problems. Its a problem about android 4.0 that have been build focused on research data...
Ics is a very ram hungry ...if u have a device which has ram 512 or below that, them trust me it's best to stay at GB.. In my Xperia P ICS eats up 500MB of my ram.i am just left with 430 MB of usable memory...

But in android free ram doesn't mean more performance, lag will only appear when RAM reaches the "lag level" (30~25 free ram)
Here on my XPU i have 120~140MB free and i don't have any lag. BTW if you install a bunch of crappy apps and let the bloatware of Sony installed you will certainly will get some lag. Even on a XPP with 1GB of RAM you can feel some lags, i've already tested yet!
Yes if you say it like that.. Then yes under a microscope ICS does lag a bit.it's inevitable even the quad cores lag in ics from time to time.. But hey that's why there is JB for the rescue...

I think lag by alot of app is open. So I endtast and free ram. It Work fine with me.
I prefer the GB which is less power hungry on RAM compared to ICS.
ICS, I find it laggy.
Most games lag on ICS compared to GB.
For me, if I'll choose, I'll go for Custom ROM based on ICS(not the stock one that sony distributed). If you don't like stock ROM then I'll stick to GB because ICS consumes more RAM than GB.
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?

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.
