Hi Guys,
Might be a bit of a noob question but I'll shoot it off anyway. I'm currently happily running SS3.11 with UTMS_Spyder CM10.1Nightly with ICS EU 4.04 Stock on XT910. :victory:
Everything seems to work like a charm and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what benefit there is to taking everything back to stock and flash the JB EU OTA?
Seems like until Hashcode and Dhacker get CM10.1 and AOKP running properly with JB Kernel I'd actaully be loosing functionality?
Any devs care to comment / clarify?
Cheers,
Phil
It's really just personal preference. There used to be a whole list of things that didn't work on AOKP/CM10 however Hashcode/Dhacker have worked extremely hard to iron them all out, it's really impressive. CM10 just updated to using the JB kernel meaning there is no more graphic tearing and battery life is almost the same as stock. Bluetooth problems were fixed last month. I think the only big bug left is automatic flash on the camera (however this still works when setting manually).
But to answer your question, technically running stock you are losing functionality. CM10/AOKP are running 4.2.2 while stock is 4.1.2 (I believe), meaning there's a whole bunch of features missing in stock. CM10/AOKP are being updated nightly meaning they will only improve while stock... well it's just stock. There wont be another update unless something is seriously wrong or Motorola decides to upgrade to the next AOS. Stock also includes a crapton of bloatware which slow down the phone. Even if you manually remove/freeze everything, I still believe CM10/AOKP to have better performance than stock any day. Hope this answers your questions
Sv: [Q] JB OTA vs CM10.1 or AOKP
I just love the customizations that cm 10.1 gives you. I can never go back to stock again. I also run the hotplug governor un order to save battery (one cpu shuts down when not in use) with noop scheduler. This tips were given by the poster above! Try cm and you'll never go back!

Is there an AOSP ROM that works with the leak JB kernel that the camera and tearing is fixed or only the soak kernel?

Well then... I think the decision is easy. Wait for Moto to release JB Fastboot and the amazing devs here to make a root tool and update CM10.1.
Why take a step backwards from available functionality for an official OTA.
Cheers Guys,

Thanks, I was running AOKP previously but have paid version of Juice Defender which started complaining that it didn't like ASOP base and I should switch to Cyanogenmod. Besides that compatabililty issue though I do really like AOKP ROM.. and did find it both fast and very stable.

Hi Guys,
I want to flash my GTI9100 with ICS. I have looked around but couldn't find the answer. Perhaps I am being over cautious but I need my device as a daily tool.
My question is this;
I am trying to figure out which ICS version that will upgrade me with the least issues based on the my Samsung GTI9100 current configuration (see attachment). Or do I need to go back to total stock config prior to going to ICS?
Any other direction/advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. As in I should just wait for a very solid upgrade.
Thank a lot
until Samsung release an official ROM, there isn't a "safe for daily use" install of ICS for the SGS2
agree with the poster above. wait when there is an official release then update. or wait when the kernel sources are released and then when kernel devs and codeworkx get their hands on the new stuff then i would say go ahead..
That is what i intend to do anyway
Thanks guys, sounds like very good advice. But man it looks sooo sweet
The latest leaked Samsung ROM can be used as a daily ROM. I have been using it for two days now, no FC, no crash whatsoever. Added Nova launcher and I'm happy with that.

Same here, using Ressurection-7.4
Using Westcrip's latest 8.1 rom as a daily rom. No problems at all and ICS is a must for SGS 2. You must try it!! You will not be disapointed mate! And you will never go back to Gingerbread after that

You're fine where you are. Just flash the ICS rom via recovery after backing up everything. Read up on more things beforehand if you have to ask questions like this. Galaxy S devices are almost brick proof with odin but you never know.
I tried out latest ICS for a day. It's stable for a daily rom. Just had a couple of minor freezes and touch sensitivity wasn't as good as gingerbread but if you want to try I recommend it.
I suggestbto try out diffrent ics roms. I'm running cm9, it's pretty stable, few bugs but looks better than any other rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Cm9 is good and well worth a look but the devs are at the mercy of Samsung releasing source code so it's not as complete as LP6.
I do like lp6 as a daily but only after stabilising it. Freezing apps, pinning down battery drain and fixing gps etc.
After you do that it's business as usual. And for the better quality Bluetooth sound alone it's worth it to me.
I installed the 3 file Odin version which is a wipe. The cfrooted with lp6 cfroot kernel.
There are also odexed and deodexed versions to flash. Just search a page or two and you'll find them.
To change look is too easy. If you like cm9 but want most things working just theme lp6 and it's pretty similar in appearance.
Just make backups via CWM and you can bounce between all the firmware, GB, CM9, LP6 etc.
Have fun.

I doubt there is any significant changes. Samsung still keeps introducing bugs and bloatware.

I see in your signature that you are using 2.3.6 and also ICS ..
if so what is the most recent and stable version you could recommend to me in both
2.3.6 and ICS 4.0.3 and of course not the stock ones I love custom ROMs

Go for 2.3.6 GB as that is more stable than any ICS out there at the moment. If you go to CM9 you will find it is stable enough to use as a daily driver but you have a few minor details missing. Like video recording, usb storage (or mount storage something like that) youtube not working and any flash player not working properly as they need kernel sources for that.
So flash a 2.3.6 rom flash the new ICS theme and your good to go

Yeah im on LPB and i get instabilities everyday, though not to a serious extent. I would still recommend using the gingerbread ROMs for now until the official final versions of the ICS ROMs are out in march. Less than a month more. Just bear with it!
There is already a couple of quite detailed threads on this subject in general.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I guess you guys are right 2.3.6 is far more stable ..
I have tried ICS 4.0.3 before and it is full of bugs from time to time force close most of apps and get battery life shorter and shorter
one more thing to ask is the CPU speed of S2 increases due to usage because I installed android assistant and got it current speed as 800mhz is this normal ..
or I have to increase it manually ?
ive heard resurrection rom is pretty stable, havent tried it since LP6 and back then the battery overheated and it lasted nothing. Then i tried wanamlite on LPB and didnt quite work for me so i went on wanamlite LP6 v7.7 and its pretty stable but still had couple of bugs and fc's. im feeling tempted to try LPH and i will do it tomorrow
as for GB 2.3.6 stock worked great for me but missed the ICS interface, on GB ive heard checkrom v4 is pretty damn god, didnt work for me due to battery but oh well i didnt quite tweak stuff to make it go longer
as for you frequency question if you want to undervolt it you need a kernel that allows you do to so and then use the setcpu app on market, it should be on 1.2ghz on stock. To verify your frequency i suggest using cpuspy app on market so you can verify the same
hope it helps you mate
cheers
Could give me link the most stable 2.3.6

sorry mate I'm new here ..
since I9100XXLPB touchwiz is going worst, i switch to nova launcher which run flawlessly.
- APN configuration are not lost
- samsung software update bug going since LP2 have been removed
- little improvment in battery life
- still a few FC but going better and better, perfectly usable for every life
- i have a few bug with winamp since I9100XXLP2
- don't now if it's linked to rom or if i made something, but since LPB i can't install any apps on SD card
- 3G is better, seem easier to find connection
I tried both LPB and LPH ICS roms. The current ICS roms are good and constantly getting better, but are a still a little too buggy for me. One thing's for sure, I had constant wifi disconnects using the lph modem. In the end I went back to KL1 modem which works flawlessly for me.

First and foremost, is there a particular reason you've chosen to run ICS versus the latest iteration of Android, JellyBean? You may not be aware, but running ICS has a great risk of causing near-permanent damage to your phone's internal SD card. You can read more about it here... LINK. However, if you accept the risk and would prefer to run ICS versus a newer version of Android, I would have to recommend ICZen. Before I got hit with the Encryption Unsuccessful error myself, I used ICZen as my daily driver. It's a really good ICS ROM, but remember, every and any ICS ROM has the risk of causing corruption. So unless there is a specific reason you're running ICS, I'd recommend switching to a JellyBean ROM (if you're after the latest version of Android).

I do have all the latest builds of JB and i love them but i have a huge problem where i live with signal strength and the JB builds do have the issue of lower signal, data speed, wifi and battery life. And for me and the kind of work that i do i need to have more life in my phone. Someone told me in another post that i need to stick with Froyo or GB builds or ICS , as of rigth now im running FishmanMod Blue 2.2 Frankestein V2 and its running great. So i was just looking for a ICS build to try.

CM10.1 is a pretty good ROM. It uses kexec. So, no matter if you have installed ICS or JB kernel.

My wife's RAZR has been a lot less reliable ever since the last OTA.
I have rooted her stock 4.1.2 RAZR to get a good backup, and installed SafeStrap3.
I am looking for a ROM option to replace her stock 4.1.2 ROM, BUT ... it has to be a lot more stable than the current stock ROM. The first time that her phone has a random reboot, freezes, or drains her battery in 6 hours, she won't let me touch her phone again.
For whatever reason, her Motorola phone is a lot less reliable than my Galaxy S3. My GS3 can run for months without a hiccup.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a good, reliable RAZR ROM that I can load on her phone? Stability and good battery life are much more important than the running the latest KitKat beta build, so even a suggestion for a solid RAZR ROM from months ago would be appreciated.
Thanks!

good call! i confirm it can run on solid 50hrs+ with light usage.
Thanks, guys! I'll check out ArtMod.
Another thought crossed my mind: Is there a way to go back to the full 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US ROM (The one before the last OTA)? My wife seemed very satisfied with that one - At least it was more stable than the current release.
I would need to disable OTA updates if I went that route, I suspect.

Sorry neo.ank - I certainly was not intending on violating any forum rules.
Regarding going back to an earlier RAZR ROM, I know that I can't "downgrade" - but, that wasn't exactly the question. What I am wondering is if there is a way to go back to an earlier version by installing the "98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US" ROM into one of the slots in SafeStrap? I can't seem to find a copy of that ROM - I only found a copy of the OTA upgrade patch file. I may need a number of ROMs/patches to get to the previous version. But, I would also need to make sure I don't lose SafeStrap in the process, or her phone would get bricked - followed closely by me getting bricked ... and panned ... and potted ... and rolling pinned ... :silly:

I am VERY satisfied with using the latest Slimkat ROM.. build 3.2. It is very stable with the included kernel or you could flash the latest JBX kernel. Some have had issues with using JBX.. I have not, it has worked perfectly for me with great battery life and the ability to tweek CPU settings/ governor to your liking. I keep the stock moto in the stock slot and update everything about once a week and Slimkat in slot 1 using the max allowable partition values when I create slot 1. I Used TI backup to backup all my apps/app data, call log, messages onto the SD card, flashed Slimkat and JBX kernel in slot 1. Restored only user apps/data that I use, call log, and messages into Slimkat using TI backup and it has worked flawlessly since then.
The earlier versions had some kinks but they have all been worked out. Wifi, BT, wifi tether, all work perfectly. No crashes, freezes, or forced reboots. I'm paranoid about losing the stock stuff myself (why I keep it backed up and updated in Stock slot), she could do the same if it doesn't work for some reason, but seriously thinking of putting this in my stock slot and only having this one on my phone.

Thanks, everybody! Very useful responses! I think I am going to look at SlimKat Build 3.2 first ...
I have a few questions:
1) What does the JBX Kernel get me beyond the kernel embedded in SlimKat 3.2? Is it more stable than what comes with SlimKat? Will it let me under voltage to get better battery life?
2) If the more recent versions of JBX are unstable, what version of JBX Kernel should I be using?

As for JBX I have yet to try the new builds but for me I have been getting right around2 hours screen time without jbx. With I got 1 hour but that was on the 26 build. I will try now with the new builds usually I get around 3 hours screen time with jbx when it works right. You will just have to test it. Also why on slimkat 3.2? I like 4 it seams to work really well I started with slimkat 3.6 nothing lower. But then again I got the newest then. Hope this helps you out.
