If you do a lot of gaming, dont update. If you dont, do upgarde.

Are there Any Significant Changes In The Update That I Should Consider?

Jb is better in a lot of ways, I can't give you a list but you can find out the details yourself, if you are not a gamer then you can upgrade to Jb. And as for the lag, if you are rooted then you can overclock your device, but make sure that you have a supported kernel for overclocking. You can find more information about oc in the forum just search for it.
Hope I helped.

You cant overclock the Xperia Tablet, since there are no custom kernels...

[Q] Best ROM and Best Kernel?

Hiya! Okay, I'm quite experienced with Android now, and I know this is a noobs question, and possibly frowned upon, but I was wondering what the best Kernel and ROM for my X10 is?
I previously used an X8 with CM7 (2.3.4) v.138 HACKDROID, and I pretty much want the same awesomeness on my X10 but better. There are a load here, and the Master Thread doesn't have any recommendations like the X8 Master Thread (which recommends HACKDROID).
I just need a few pointers and I won't post a noob question again. This is all I pretty much need to know.
Thanks
DM
If your into Cyanogen, check out CM7-ZMOD, butter smooth. If you want a more Sony Ericsson feel, check out Wolfs 2.3.3 rom. Again, butter smooth.
There is not really any kernel options at the moment. SE hasn't released the sources yet.

Thanks. Yeah, its just like Hackdroid I found a 'Power to The People' Kernel by DoomLord, but it seems to turn off my signal, wifi and the USB cannot be recognised at all?
Only two quams with the ROM is lack of Governers - Not unless this Smartass one is good enough?? And the Volume in general is far too low.
Wish there was a Kernel to improve the ability even further. It's got the potential.
if you want a fast, reliable rom then j's cm7 j004 with doomlord's custom kernel can't be beat. until se release sources for gingerbread. this is the best custom setup around... in my opinion...

Under the GPL, I believe they must be released within 15 days of launch. I'm no expert though so don't quote me.

As I stated, I'm no expert, in fact, I could even be completely incorrect. I have however read other peoples responses to similar questions about SE releasing their kernel sources. They state that the Linux kernel sources, which are licenced under the GPL, must be disclosed within a certain period of time, which I believe to be 15 days.
Apologies for my somewhat limited knowledge about such licenses.

No worries, I just want a confirmation. I've never heard such rule in GPL(confuses me a lot since there are variants of GPL out there).
I prefer this ROM, I'm still playing around with different one's.

Even the new Achotjan CM7 released... Just checked it now. Looks pretty awesome. I'd say try ZMOD one or The Achotjan CM7 if you are a Cynogen fan. I was using Wolf's 2.3.3 for almost two weeks now and I'd say thats the best if you dont want to use Cynogen ROM... Cheers
I'm going to give Wolf's a shot, but I really enjoyed ZMOD's, but it could be better. The HTC Mod keyboard doesn't work on it sadly. I've just resorted to using thumb keyboard, its pretty good actually
Went back to ZMOD. It's amazing. Plus, the new kernels are making it a better experience now. Its running like lightning now. And the battery has improved too. Doomlords kernel is amazing

hi, I'm on wolf's 2.3 rom. I wanna update to v4, and update 4.0.3 is also avail, so is it mandatory to update kernel as well? do i need to wipe anything before flashing to v4?

No you don't have to update your kernel, and no you don't have to wipe anything. The custom kernel is optional. I'm using stock kernel on 4.0.2.1 and its extremely snappy. I'm going to update to 4.0.3 tonight.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I'm running Wolf's 4.0.3 with Stock Kernel and Undervolt Addon, running very smoothly. Juice plotter tells me 51 hours of battery after calibration and a two days running. Best ROM I've used!
I know this thread is old , but since now there are new kernels to choose from, there are certainly new answers for this thread...
So, what's the best ROM / kernel combo for you guys?

Shortage in kernel development

XSX and SSpeed is now officially stoped
That leaves us with Adv Stock Kernel
Anyone willing to develop more kernel?

I'll be leaving the kernel temporarily, once I got everything back together in my personal life, I'll continue it.
We should keep in mind we are all people with other primary jobs and family, girlfriends, dogs or cats. Life is complicated as it is. Keep it simple.

I'm sure everyone is waiting for the kernel source code of ICS to get publish by Sony as its easier to built by that way.
Well i still have my HTC legend. I don't know android so much as building them but i know that the GB and the ICS kernel are worlds apart. and thanks to this forum i can see CM10 running on my Legend although its in the alpha stages but its there...
Trust the dev here my friend!

I know what you are feeling here, when I had my Arc S I had many choices either Custom Roms or custom kernels. when I got my Xperia P I'm left with nothing
I tried many times building my custom kernel but it never succeeded in booting
I guess I better stay in Windows Apps programming

Exactly, for example the developer of ArcKnight kernel which is one of the best custom kernels for Xperia Arc & Xperia Arc S, replaced his Arc with a Galaxy S 3. which means no more ArcKnight kernel. and so did others.
The stock kernel from Sony is already very good, no need to tweak it much right? There are 2x OC kernels based on stock, a pre-rooted stock kernel, 2x CM 9.1 kernels and 1 CM10 kernel.

2 OC and 1 CM9 kernel development is stopped

But they are stable no?
Ya stock kernels are good, the only reason that is pushing me on to making a custom kernel is I want the latest build of the stock kernel (which is on July 30) with CWM & auto root included. no tweaking is necessarily I think.

I'm still using GB, is it worth upgrading?

As you can see my situation is quite simple. I'm still using GB on my Xperia S. And as more apps start to get that ICS look. I start thinking more about upgrading to ICS.
So... Is it already worth upgrading to it? Are most bugs ironed out and such?
Cause to be honest, I love my phone as it is currently. It works fine as it is and there isn't much a need to upgrade.
I dont see any bugs.

In my opinion .2.50 is running very nicely and is worth the update.
running very smooth I didn't find any bugs ICS is great on my device

What phone model you have? For Xperia P upgrade to ICS is necessary - better interface, faster and smoother than GB! After upgrading to ICS I forget about unlocking bootloader, becouse stock ROM is good enought!
Hey guys who are using ICS.
Please tell me it's performance in games.
Have you find any improvements?

Yups, some of games run smoother than in GB. You can force gpu rendering in Dev. setting.

Oh yes. Im using Xperia S
I'm on an Xperia P, and the most significant difference is in performance (scrolling fluidity and whatnot).
But really, I wasn't on 2.3.X long enough to get a real guage on everything that changed (I literally updated after 20 minutes out of the box).
for me sure i will update for ICS ,, but if you with unlocked BL and you want the BE then stay on GB cuz its not working with ICS with unlocked BL
but this cant stop me to prefere the ICS

Ofcourse you can. Just update and if you really need to, flash a gb firmware with flashtool.
The update is worth it. Plus, ever since the .45 firmware, the performance is even better then on gb.

HD games lagging after JB update

GPU performance has dropped since updating to jellybean XXLS8.
Let it be a stock kernel or a custom one.
Eg.TDKR,ASPHALT 7,etc
Even Nenamark2 scores have dropped(i know benchmarks don't mean squat).

Thanks for the reply! I've been going through it. I am new to rooting and would want a nice ROM to go hand in hand with my Note. There are so many different ROMS making it very confusing! Is there a consensus on what the 'best' ROM is? Or could you explain to me the benefits of the one you are using and where I can get it? Thanks alot again.
You can get carbon under the Original Development Thread. It has had the least amount of reboots for me but there are many fine 4.2.2 ROMs offered here.
Asking for the "best" can start a flaming thread, since its very much a personal choice.

Ure most likely to get reboots in all 4.2.2 roms n most likely camera issues...until they release an official stable 4.2.2 rom then that'll be the rom u are looking for..to get less reboots I turn profiles off in settings n disable hw hardware layout...try that with any rom see what happens...

Best advice........read read read
As suggested by others look at development. It depends what YOU want or are looking for. Many 4.2 have issues. Mainly reboots. Some flicker in screen.
What i do is find rom that looks interesting in features to me. Then i go to end of thread and read backwards. Lets me know the more recent issues and if there are fixes or tweaks to compensate.
Lots of bells and whistles in 4.2 but sometimes we sacrifice stability.
Your choice........good luck and go slow.

In my own experience the most stable i717 4.2.2 rom is sons of android build 4, all other 4.2.2 roms I've tried where Awful for hot reboots and screen flickering. As always, make sure you do a full wipe before installing anything, happy flashing!

CyanogenMod 10.1.2 has been the smoothest ROM for me, with the best battery life. I use SD-Booster, Autokiller, and Greenify (apps) as well, which give me super speed, super smoothness, and eternal battery life.
Since this change, not a single reboot, screen flicker, or other Android 4.2 issue.
