I just installed the official LG ICS 4.0.4. It works a lot better than Froyo that I had before. I read a lot in the forums here but it all seems very unclear to me. My questions:
- Does Jellybean run faster on Optimus Black than ICS?
- What are the main pros and cons about LG ICS vs. the Jellybean mods on Optimus Black?
- Is there any Jellybean mod that runs stable and has no bugs?
- Is there any Jellybean mod that can be installed on the phone without rooting it? I still have warranty for my phone so I still don't wanna root it now.

-yes cm10 is faster than ics v30b
-cm10 performance,mods ,, ics "fm radio""hd video recording 30fps"
-yes jellyBAM 3.0.0 or cm10 dark mod 0.9x "in my opinion jellybam, im using it "
-of course no ,because all these roms need clockwork recovery which u get by rooting ,,but its ok as long u are flashing SAFE roms
Cm10 is pretty fast and more feature but not stable for every day use
ICS is rock solid stable but less faster than cm10. But you can get a better performance with Pimp my rom
btw you can unroot to get warranty back
just sent my phone on repair monday, getting it back tomorrow
Well, my warranty still lasts for half a year or so. I think I'm gonna wait until there is a CM10 version out there that runs without heavy battery drain. Probably the warranty has run out by then anyway.
How about Jellybam? Does the battery drain appear, too?

Jelly Bam drains the batt. at least twice as fast than CM10.If you want a rom that works and it's safe, it's the best choice an official ICS.
Forget cm10
Go for ICS and root it. After install pimp my rom. Battery will drain a bit faster but you will be near of cm10 performance without any unstable thing
just wait for the release of ics by huexx

I am getting an offer to exchange my 1 year old x10 with LG optimus 2x.Is it a good deal.Does LG deliever good service and support.What are the pros and cons.How is the audio quality..
Pros:
+ Its fast
+ 3D Performance is very good
+ Kamera is ok
+ Custom Rom support is quite good
Cons:
- Stock Rom is not really good (too slow, high battery drain, old version!)
- LG Software Updater does not work with my LG P990
- Some devices have serious issues like hanging system, unwanted reboots
All in all it is a good device, but there are far too many "monday-devices"....
Which means that they have problems that can't be solved by the user.
The downside is if you do not want to customize / root your phone it is nothing special, since the stock rom is Android 2.2 and there is no software update (which has been promised for late July).
So software support is sadly really bad. On Hardware side I have no experiences, but I heared that getting a replacement device is no problem if there is a hardware issue that can't be repaired.
Nontheless I really like my P990, it has great performance if you install a custom rom. The voice quality really depends on your baseband and kernel versions.
With my setup it is ok. (MIUI Roadrunner, latest Kernel and BB)
I hope this helps...

Relating to the updater problem, this could be interesting for you:

I vote for this.
but if you don't use any video recording, CM9-Kang by owain already can be used for daily.
it's fast & stable enough if using default config.
I'm pretty happy with what I have in my sig.
However, I would test drive the phone for a couple of weeks if I were you. There have been users reporting very bad battery life that returned the phone and got a much better one.
So personally I would test-drive every functionality of the phone: 3G, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc and make sure everything is working fine before going for "warranty voiding activities"

watch the flag system!
You have to change the filename before flashing, i recommend to NOT use "jrnl"!
And never flash it with touch-cwm, it would kill your system/data partitions.

I guess question was about fastest and most stable ROM, not about "stable and fast enough". ICS on P990 is highly unstable for now. I'm using ICS for daily use and i don't complain, but there's always something that isn't working as it suppouse to. So at this moment CM7 isn't only more stable then ICS, it's faster too. Android 4.0 doeasn't even have hw acceleration yet.

Agreed, at this moment CM7 is much more stable and also faster, i tried CM9 but some apps didn't work and sometimes the phone was getting slow all of the sudden not to mention the browser was always crashing, im using CM7 now and its so fast and stable
You can use CM7 and see it flying, but without some of the phone features, like video call (I'm not talking about Skype or viber, just the native one), smart share, divx, hdmi video resize... Or you can try one of stock roms with the great kernels from here and have a full phone.

Thanks for all the replies. Will try out soon. Also, I have noticed that the battery life for the optimus 2x is so bad! With stock froyo last night, after just about 2hrs of some wifi and games, the battery has already gone down to 15%!!! That's how bad it is!
Is this normal? Should I return the phone to the store?
Also, will the gingerbread update and/or custom rom flashing bring about better life for the battery?

DjangoManouche 1.1 is highly recommended with V20q baseband and HP SR3R2 Kernel. After trying out many stock variants, Modaco ROMS, Thanatos and CM ROMS, I finally settled on this one as it has resolved all the issues I had with the phone and gives good battery and network performance.
Hi,
which ROM can you recommend? I'm on DarkyRom 10.4.2 and want to change to ICS.
Is there any ROM contains tun.ko module for using openvpn or anyconnect? I can't find any information about this.
Hey,
There are so many ICS roms you can try from, we've really got great developers for our device.
My current favorite is ICS333:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618757
It's really stable and everything works!! There's even a guide to install it on the general section.. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
tun modules are supported by the kernel. ICS333 comes with semaphore kernel by default, which supports tun modules.. You could check and ask more on the ics semaphore thread in the development section..
For me there are only a few good ICS Roms.
The best ist Dark Knight 3.
But if you want a really stable and fast System, don`t take an ICS Rom. Take a jvt, jvr or jvz custom rom. My favorite is Tornado.
Thanks for you answer.
I've looked at many ROMS but the decision is difficult. My favorite after reading the different thread is SLIM ICS. But I'll now have a look at ICS333.
Should I use nandroid to make a backup before trying any ROM?

Yeah, making a nandroid backup would be a good idea. Although don't restore your GB Titanium backup on ICS, it will create issues.

For now the CM9 nighltlies are working fine for me no issue.the battery is also fine runs for around 12-15 hours moderate to high use with semaphore kernel 1.1.1s.i tried a DOCMaster's rom also it also great...SLIM ICS is also good but if you are new to flashing you will have some difficulties in it since the dpi is 182 in it and some market apps wont be compatible.Onecosmic was great but since there is no new development i wont recommend it.For now CM9 with Semaphore kernel.Waiting for Gamerzrom with ICS

Exactly what i tought about ICS, until i gave TWICS a try.
I'm on TWICS 2.5, its fast, Battery fine (like Stock JVT) , no FCs., no Lags (after switching from TW4 to Apex launcher).
I use my phone mostly for calls,SMS and a little Tapatalk, no Facebook.
Don't get Faceunlock working, maybe a Face problem *g*, i don't care.
Thats my experience, other user reports some problems with Battery life, check the TWICS-Thread.

Hi!
With ALL ICS Roms on all devices i got a worse Benchscore on QS, Antutu, CF Bench and Vellamo. The "feeling" is even slower too. ALL Roms are buggy. Nice to see what is ICS and nice for flashaholics like me, but nothing for stable daily use. DK 3 is ok- no battery drain- but bugs too. The DK 4 and 5 is poor and DK 5.5 ok but slower than 3 and GB.

You seriously have no idea what you're talking about.
ICS is perfectly suitable for daily use on your phone. Not only is it smoother than GB, it looks better. And there aren't really any bugs. None that you'll see with normal use. It's perfectly stable.
Pick a ROM, any ROM. SlimICS is great; Dark Knight seems popular; CM9 and AOKP work wonders. Take your pick and never look back to the past that was Gingerbread.
I think CM9 is the best. I definitely recommend ICS as it has hardware acceleration and is sooo fast!
There's nothing like ICS isn't stable.. There are loads of roms to choose from.. I'm on ICS 333 for a week now and i haven't faced any bugs, lag or fc..
Everyone has their own views.. I think the best option is to try it out on your own n make your choice.. If you like ICS, great! If not, you can always switch back using a nandroid backup..
Enjoy!!

Doesn't matter, just flash Semaphore. It does. And it's one of the top ICS kernels.
The original release of Samsung Galaxy S [GT-I9000] has come a long way and still powerful enough to accommodate the latest Android release - Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x.
Read my article here:
https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...dwich-4-0-x-for-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000.83/
Sorry, but not my view to ICS.
Since today I got the official german ICS for Galaxy Note and now i know, WHY there is no really good ICS Custom Rom for any device!
ICS is the future? LOL
Only on 5 percent of android devices, months later as planned and in a few month jellybean release.
I suggest Elite GTi9000_IMM76K_RC_1.2
I was just wondering what the experience has been for people who switched from ICS to JB. Are there any advantages in terms of battery life, stability and/or performance?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using TAJB rom from last 1 month, it is daily driver with very minor issues and 100% faster smoother than any ICS rom.
I can say JB is real matured OS of android.
For example, Max Payne game
On ICS it strucks very much, and need to wait almost 5 mins to load the game. I know saving the game also an issue.
On JB, it is smoother and loading became very faster and never strucked. i tried very hard to struck it intentionally but failed every time.

There is no perfectly stable JB roms atm as they are all still in alpha/beta.
Elite's recent beta 9 is apparently a very good improvement over beta 8, some are even claiming that it's currently better than his very good ICS rom.

What do you believe, could JB get more improved for SGS than ICS? I mean, all of the ICS rom's that the developer said that are stable, failed at some point. Every ICS ROM that I had on my phone, had a critical point in time where all of the apps and system apps had permanent FCs so I'm looking in the close future for a ROM that it isn't stable for an "determined" period of time... I know that it's not necessarily to get better stability while having better performance, but I hope that there is a better chance in improving our SGSs with JB.

The FCs you got is probably because your /datadata partition got full. Install the Datafix app from the Play Store and clear your cache every now and and it shouldn't happen again.
I've used Elite's ICS rom since beta 10.1 and it's been stable as a rock for me. I'm sure his JB rom is just as good.
Hey guys, I am still using an odexed version of GB, it is very fast and stable but does the memory improve in ICS or JB, the problem with the sgs as you know is the memory I just want to know if ICS or JB use less memory then GB.
do you recommend to change?
For me battery life was a bit better on JB, depends really on the kernal you use though,
with performance, depends on the ROM you are using, for example i found that some roms where slow, and had poor battery life, while others were extremely fast and had good battery life.

In my experience, boot times vary from rom to rom even within the same android version, with lighter roms having shorter boot times.
Same here, I'm using X-Bean and since now the fastest and most stable JB ROM (I used all JB's on XDA). I'm using Devils kernel and in normal usage - 1,5 day. Best battery of course on GB, but this is a small cost for performance

Trust me , ICS is even bettter than GB ...
JB is good , but battery drains like a heck and got some random reboots , so i highly recommend an ICS rom.
Pros of ICS:
-Solid as hell with good battery
-Smooth
-Fast
-A lot of Jelly Bean apks and mods can also be used on ICS
Cons of ICS:
-Development has mostly stopped (except kevinrus )
-Lack of features compared to Jelly Bean (which some people don't like)
Pros of Jelly Bean:
-HW acceleration (which tends to be hit and miss on our device sometimes)
-Built in features such as Expandable notifications, lockscreen widgets etc
-Extra features such as Halo and in general more customiseable ability
-Latest and greatest
Cons of Jelly Bean:
-HW acceleration really does take its toll on a single core device with only so much ram
-Because builds are released daily they aren't always stable and may have bugs
-Increased battery consumption naturally
4.3 builds are a lot better than 4.2 builds though, despite being in early stages, the few builds of CM10.2 I've tried were excellent

I agree with @Soryuu that 4.3/CM10.2 is a huge improvement compared to all 4.2 ROMs, it's faster and gives double battery life. Check my new thread posted this afternoon, I posted guide how to cleanly upgrade and have bug-free working CM10.2
It is that good that I've flashed Semaphore 3.1.0s kernel and won't upgrade anymore, good enough for me :laugh:
