Jellybean vs Gingerbread

I disagree with this sentiment. What makes hacking and having full control worthwhile is seeing how much more you can squeeze out of the things you already have instead of simply throwing money around. It makes you more aware of the limitations of what you have as well as knowing what our phones excel at. Play to those strengths and you can have a legacy as long as the HTC HD2.
You can't argue at all in the nexus 4's case, same with the Gnex. There was alot of under the hood coding changes with regards to multicore devices after ICS. Comparing for comparison s sake can only be done from Nexus S to Nexus S

Yeah. It's an opinion and it will differ from person to person. Some people will say windows xp was/is more efficient than windows 7. Again it's an opinion. Technical reality could be different.

on that subject, in win 7 i could barely run 2 instances of the same game and still noticesome lag, on xp i could run 4 instances and still no lag
but it really depends on what you use it for, i'm pretty sure windows 7 does some things better ... maybe, but for what i actually needed from an os, xp worked better
but that's slightly off topic

Sorry for my english, but I must say one thing!!
WOW! i'm going to do a new thread like this, but you're faster than me!!
What about my NS experience?
Early, I was attracted by the upgrade, I wanted only upgrade, new Android version, i wanted only the newer version! But...
... i tried every (+ - ) possibile JB (4.1 or 4.2) but i was never satisfacted by that. The system was often laggy and choppy, with all the rom, also with tweaks and OC. For a long time I used HellyBean or Rasbeanjelly (with DevilKernel o Marmite) but sometimes the system crashed,other times for example, when I opened the messages app, contacts numbers not load immediately and the keyboard did not fit on the screen at once. and this made me nervous!!!
So, after reading a post by thalamus, I wondered if go back to gingerbread would be a good idea.
... Now i'm using CM7.2 , with Franco's Kernel --> the results? --> The phone boot in few seconds ( 10-15 seconds!!), i can OC (and live OC) until 1300mhz (with JB it freezed at 1100mhz), the phone is very very smooth (smoother than first!) and incredibly stable. And with some themes everythings is Holo style. A good launcher instead of Nova? Smart Launcher (only 7mb of ram on 2mb of storage!!!)... and with GB Chainfire3d is good for gaming!
Nexus S is born with Gingerbread, and probably is better with Gingerbread too.. at least for me
Yes, i really love my phone now, and probably i will never return to the run for the latest upgrade.

You can see on my signature what ROM I used to run and I gotta say that JB is better, because the newer kernels give around 90MB more RAM which makes a HUGE difference on this phone.
The problem lies on all these CM-based ROMs or other feature-fest ROMs which are very sluggish and full of bugs.
I am running flo's rooted-stock 4.1.2 ROM with latest marmite kernel and this phone is running smooth like it had never done before; I used all kinds of GB ROMs back in the times, from CM to oxygen or stock and it never even came close to what I experience now.
Nexus S has come a long way, and is definetly better.

Yes, from my experience, that extra RAM is really helpful and really makes difference if you like to multitask. GB is maybe better with gaming, battery is probably way more better than JB, but on other fields JB is absolute winner. For the time being I am running Oxygen also, but I don't see reason why when we have JB 4.1.2 which is, apparently, very well optimized by our devs
i wish someone can build a rom based on GB with the features of Jellybean and purely for gaming/multitasking

Good anti-troll, lol. Web browsing in GB was attrocious.3Odp: Jellybean vs Gingerbread

Sent from my i90232I tried that oxygen rom, and that even without gapps. I got to say, after jelly bean 4.1.2 gingerbread is too slow and too ugly to use it. I rather have little smoother UI and nice looking rom more up to date than old, slow, sluggish, ugly rom. Also gingerbread doesnt have hw acceleration. There you have it.
