This build fixes the memory leak, Samsung released the source code some time ago. I've not found any bugs at all, it's all silky smooth. It's not officially released yet though, still on beta, but you can grab it on twitter:

Edit, you will need the Google apps file from the thread

Excellent, I got rid of Build 2 as my apps started going nuts with it - in the end very little worked and the memory leak became more and more apparant. Was a really nice ROM when it worked and if this is properly sorted I'm flashing it when I get home from work!

Found a bug. Hotspot is not working for me, hopefully it gets fixed in the full release. Other than that it's the perfect ROM.

I'm noticing chrome is force closing on me sometimes. Happened when I was on build 2 also. Been fine so far today though.

Hotspot not fixed :mad:

Tried supernexus there. WiFi performance and range isn't as good as Touchwizz ROMS.

Back to Android Revolution for now :-) at least I didn't a back up :-)

Not from the beta, it's silky smooth, lightning quick, very stable, the perfect daily runner. The only bug I can find is hotspot.

Cool, I don't use my phone as one anymore so should be fine for me so. I'll update it this evening. I'll set it downlaoding lunchtime and flash via CWM and leave it do it's stuff on my drive home.

He said it's best to wipe, even if you were using a beta. I've not done this as I wiped before the beta but I do plan on doing it as soon as I have some time. It's always best to wipe.

I noticed that the file name of the download is the same as the test one I installed the other day. I'm assuming they are the same so I haven't installed yet.

Go to settings-->about phone, is the SuperNexus version 20120930 and the build number JRO03R. If not update

MuppetCheck · 01-10-2012 10:27pm

Version is different. Just wiped and went to flash with cwm and it didn't work! Problem with the file it seems.

kenyard · 01-10-2012 11:09pm

redownload and try again.
possibly just file got corrupted during dl.

RangeR · 02-10-2012 4:27pm

I upgraded to JB on Friday evening. I can't believe how long the battery lasts now. At 11am this morning, I was at 95%. Now, at 4:30pm, I'm at 84%. That's 11% in a near full working day. It's usually a 70+% drop in same period.

I have mobile internet on, syncing email etc all day AND FM radio on all day. I know that the FM doesn't take much power, but I'm normally down to about 20% or 30% on ICS.

Now, I do have power saving mode turned on, but I always had it turned on in ICS too.

Haven't been this impressed in Android, ever.

Did you that and now very happy with it! Blue tooth calls when I ring some numbers goes a bit mad sometimes but that's the only fault I've seen.

power savings is a lot more restrictive on stuff imo in jellybean. you can see that in the individual settings you can choose on it. i generally leave the processor alone with it on as i find it makes certain apps sluggish...

Fair enough. I've turned off Power Saving and will check my stats again tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully around the same time, 4:30pm ish. Similar comparison on usage.

kenyard · 02-10-2012 10:05pm

if in settings you press on power savings you can see each individual setting and choose the ones you want..turning off haptic feedback, lowering brightness more etc

im messing with stuff at the minute. i have an app causing a lot of "awake" time for me and im trying to figure out how to stop it doing so...

anyone else also find taht you can alter the brightness slider when its set to auto, so it still auto adjusts brightness but you can set it to the high or low end of what it thinks? i was confused at first but like it now

also wondering if anyone knows how to stop an app causing phone to wake up? i have footmob soccer scores which i really like but its causing my phone to wake, and draining battery unnecessarily ofc... just wondering if i can control it with another app or something, or its just that app itself causing issues. also if someone can recommend another good soccer app then if thats the case

Does anyone know why when I flash a ROM I always get the default JB theme. It happens with all ROMs, no themes applied after I flash. For example, I just flashed the Paranoid Android dark ROM that is heavily modified. The ROM installs ok just not the theme.

I also find if I flash a theme from xda it doesn't work.

Im not sure if this even relevant but I rooted my S3 using CF-Root.

Wipe -> Flash -> Wipe

Right, here is a close comparison. Today at 11am, I was at 97% battery. At approx 5pm, I was at 77%. A 20% difference.

So, it's about an hour longer than my figures yesterday and the power drain is only a little bit more.

Power saving doesn't have THAT much of an effect. It looks like JB is just a BEAST at conserving power.

Format/factory reset - wipe cache - wipe dalvik - format system, then flash away..

Is this a stock Samsung JB ROM mate? Where you get it?
