Hi,

I've been monitoring the release of JB roms since the beginning. But told myself not to try them until they were completely stable. It seems now that stable ROMs are coming out.

I currently have ICS installed, MiniCMSandwich, which I am not really happy about. I have really bad battery life and bad preformance. (probably my own fault though...) But even so I think the time has come to start thinking about JB. What do you guys think. Is it too soon?

Will JB ever be as good as ICS? Or as good as GB for that matter? And what's with the camera in JB? I see a lot of ROMs mentioning that it doesn't work?

Greetings.

JB will be better than ICS as ICS is better than GB, the problem here is that JB is not officially out and honestly idk if it will be for our devices, therefore, we cant have fully working or stable roms until sony releases an official jb update so developers can extract what they need for their roms work like they should, same thing happened when ICS came out, about MiniCMsandwich, thats the best ICS rom i have tried, had to quit cuz the developer left and that means no more support or updates for the rom :( idk what your problem could be but I had a wonderful time with that rom, no battery drain whatsoever, it depends how you use it, but I know theres some battery drain issue with stock based ICS roms :/

I use CyanogenMod 10 as my main ROM and its great. There are still some major bugs though: FM radio, camera preview, video recording, video playback (?) and more.
But I find it stable enough for daily use

I was on cyanogen timescape and I liked it... but am on paranoid android now and its a very good experience!! Everything is little smoother than before and you get all the extra features from jellybean. Its bugfree enough for daily use ! The bugs I've encouterd are
1: random reboots ... like 2 or 3 times a day.. I use my mob a lot :rolleyes:
2: video playback causes the phone to freeze n reboot... disabling HW overlay is supposed to fix this but that dosent work for me.
3: front camera dosent work. Don't need it as of now but I might have to switch back to ics when I do :(

I lost the apps that I stored in my sd card through link2sd coz the rom dosent supposrt ext3 yet.
The camera works fine and the shutter speed is sooo much better than ICS . The new status bar and google now are awsum :thumbup:
Its definitely worth trying out bro
