[GUIDE][8/1] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

Re: [GUIDE][7/1] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

Ah. I didn't realize the source code was important in optimizing battery life. I don't understand how any of that stuff works on the programming/ coding side, though, so... @_@

Anyway, thinking about flashing 2.1 right now, am I supposed to flash the 7/4 GAPPS with it, or stick with the 7/1 ones? They're both still linked, and I don't understand why the 7/4 one is labeled "proper".

I'm also looking at the Trinity kernel, should I just go with JB17, or is JB20 okay, even though it's listed as "alpha"?

Let me look around and see what peeps are saying about JB20.

Re: [GUIDE][7/1] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

So I flashed Jelly Belly 1.9 last night, coming from Vicious v3. When I do a clean flash, it boots up perfectly. But once I reboot the phone, it bootloops at Google right at start up. Did it twice from a clean flash. Anyone know why this is happening?

How are you liking JB vs Vicious? Been thinking about making the switch but haven't done it yet.

Source code is important for everything... nothing can truly be optimized, no bugs properly squashed, until developers are able to go into the source code and do their work in there, then build the ROMs straight from it. Remember, all these Jelly Bean ROMs we have now are made from nandroids, for christs sake, lol.. its great that they work at all

On your other question, I personally recommend the 7/1 gapps... the 7/4 ones were updated to remove some things like Maps and other stuff which is available from the market, to make them closer to the standard gapps packages we use on other ROMs. So flashing the 7/1 will save you some time, and doesn't seem to harm anything, as that's what I did with 2.1 and everything is fine on my end.

For JB20, it appears to be actually a step up over the previous builds. The previous builds were ATXXXX, or "almost trinity." It appears that these are trinity, just in early stages.

Regardless, downloaded and flashing within moments .

Anyone running Franco r215 up to 2ghz? i'm stable at 1800mhz but leery about pushing it to 2...

Please, please, please be careful and make sure nothing is "set on boot." Our device can handle 1.6ghz easily; anything past that becomes fairly risky, and 2ghz sounds very risky.

yeah I wasn't thinking that sounded right. I have it at 1800 and seems to be running without any issues. Still running nice a cool, but I'm not doing anything strenuous at this time. It isn't noticeably faster than the 1600 setting, so probably will end up going back to it... wonder if you can liquid cool a phone...

I'm on Jb 17 right now. Let us know how 20 performs.

So far so good, I'll let you all know a bit later too .

Re: [GUIDE][7/1] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

Flashed JB20, myself, but don't really have any impressions on it, as I've hardly used my phone so far today, and I'm keeping in on the charger until I leave for work a little later on. Besides, I'm never really sure what to "look for" in a new kernel, since I don't really understand what kernels are supposed to affect anyway. *shrug*

You're looking for hardware/software interaction. Laggyness, battery drain, responsiveness, etc. A kernel is the go between for hardware and software, so anything that is a hardware-software interaction would be affected by it.

I flashed 2.1 and had no issues with either root or GPS. If for some reason SuperSU doesn't work for you, just flash the JB SuperSU zip that was featured in one of the roms early on. I may have it on here and can dropbox it and link it if we all need it.

Also, get the PROPER GAPPs zip. The other gapps broke root for some reason. You'll need to manually download Maps, BTW.

Oh and thanks, I appreciate it .

Ah, I see. Good to know, thanks for the information. Honestly, I'm pretty bad at looking for that kind of thing, though, heh (except battery life, that's the one thing I get anal about). Stuff like lag and responsiveness is often so minute that I barely pay attention to it. Only time I've noticed it, on various ROMs (even going back to when I had my previous smartphone), is the very rare occasion where it gets so glaringly bad that it's hard not to notice.

A good way to see lag is to go the widgets portion of the app drawer. When swiping through, how responsive is it? Another way is when using the launcher, how quick is it to open the drawer? How quick is it opening apps? Stuff like that .

Give me a few and I'll hope on Linux and Dropbox them .

ok, so i can just go with GAPPS 7/1?

also, anyone try franco r215? im not keen on going to JB20 - wasnt a fan of tuned colors and didnt want to download trinity toolbox.

No, I would make sure it's the specific package that the dev used. I mean you can try it and then flash the proper one over it, but I can't guarantee 100% success.

Also, finishing up work then booting into Ubuntu. My apologies .

EDIT: does this work? http://www.mediafire.com/?tya3cbvi6cb2p8z
