Pro:
- Faster due to Project Butter: more than 6000 points in Antutu (5000 in ICS)
- Google now
- Is stable so far
Cons:
- Energy saving notification is annoying (my opinion)

I didn't notice any difference between ICS and JB on wifi; but I don't use it very much.
Sense is very bad... till then using Apex launcer and some replacement for sense appearance.
Waiting for fixing and new transparents skins (no chance for full sense) and for custom JB ROM

I also noticed that the range of the wifi is worse then I had on ICS.

In fact I liked ICS more
The alumnium Skin was nicer in ICS then the new skins in Jelly Bean
The new flashlight is Ugly in Jelly Bean
The new energy/ battery option are not so clear like in ICS

There are skins in the 'Themes and apps' section that you may like! ckpv5 has put a lot together so that might help you!

I, personally, like it but that's entirely personal preference. However, there are plenty of apps in the Play store that may be more to your liking.

Again there are some apps: battery widget reborn has a really cool expandable notification with all the detail you could want. They may help smooth things out for you. (You use 2 fingers and drag a notification down to expand it in JB for anyone not familiar with it.)
Don't forget you can always revert to ICS if you want as well! I hope that's of some help to you.

Well I noticed some lag since I started using it. At first i thought it wouldn't be usable for daily use but after a few restarts and just letting my phone get used to it, it seems to not be so much of a problem anymore. There's no significant battery drain so I'm going to keep it and test it a bit more.

Hi does this cosmic flow wallpaper work smoothly as if its not a live wallpaper or like other live wallpapers out there (ex. Phase beam, works flawlessly w/o lags) because i have installed the pack of till krauspe and the live wallpaper is too laggy, cant be used daily. but when i use nexus rain or phase beam works flawlessly.

Is it possible to get something like a zoomed in version? I mean with less black borders on top and bottom?
Tried to turn off scrolling wallpaper, it gets a litter bit bigger but not a lot
Plus it's not as pretty if it's not moving.
What else could I try?

ICS animations on JB

Is it possible to get ICS animations back on JB? Not a fan of the JB animations. I'm talking about how apps/menus/settings open and close.
Thanks in advance.

They have implemented butter. It's presence is noticeable everywhere. However, it's not completely lag free. I get some shuttering once in a while, here n there. Specially while opening dialer, while opening sound and display settings and at the last second of a scroll [in contacts for example]. I guess I'll just have to live with it for the moment as all the roms have this. Other than that everything is buttery smooth.
ICS roms did not have butter, but the animations did great job at making it feel very smooth. I was using XXBLFB before switching to XXDLJ1 and I must say I never felt the rom lagged anywhere at all. Never noticed shuttering or anything of that sort. I'm thinking it was because of the animations, hence my question =\

Oh, why would it be so buggy then? Sorry this isn't meant to be a mean comment, just wondering why a newer gapps would cause all the issues in the OP.
Most likely b/c of all the stuff i took out.. It's only the first alpha so its a good start

Hi guys, i am a new Desire X user, i come from Sony Xperia Sola phone and forum.

2. How to answer a call without dragging the Screen Circle to green phone, i want to have only the green and red phone and just touch them to answer.
Thanx in advance and i am happy to be here.

I have liked it, Its much smoother and faster to use. Although you should consider the experience of others too. There is a thread in this HTC Desire X Forum which lists the pros and cons of JB.

There's not much of a difference between sony roms or cm roms these days from my experience.. but yes cm rom has a bit worse battery life.
Slimkat is probably the only cm based rom that provides good battery life. The only downside is that the rom doesn't have the function: "quick access ribbon" in notification drawer, only stock quick access
Tested,don't like cm,especially that trebuchet launcher,look hideous.
Wait for GPe 4.4.3

Flashed it the day it was released. Working great, no issues so far! I won't use it tho. >.<
Battery life however is horrible. CM used to be close to the offical stock ROM in terms of battery life. It's worse than it was previously!
Still looking for a good ROM.
