anyone else try a jb rom, and go back to an ics because of the lack of features?

I am going to cut/paste your posts above into a Word doc that I will keep until this all becomes automatic. THANK YOU for your help.

I am in BB now, although I am not sure how to confirm that, as I don't know what to look for under Phone info. Any thoughts on that?

Also, I just rebooted my GNex and BB is probably taking 5 minutes to boot up. Will this always be the case, or just this first time??

Under about phone, build date, it should say Tue Aug 7.

Do you have the Jelly Bean boot loader installed? If you still have the ICS boot loader installed, this can lead to long boot times. Also, the first couple boots will most likely be longer because JB now runs a system check on each boot. The longer you run a specific ROM, the faster your boot times should become.

You are correct again!

After a few reboots - it has a super-fast boot-up time.
I am liking this BB.
Want to see how good the battery is over the next few days.

Thanks again SBenson!

I'm looking for a ROM that can display wifi/4g/3g/battery as an integer and has built-in volume amplification. Any of JBs have that yet?

[pc747]

i believe dts roms, jellybelly, and aokp has that. Sorcery should have it as well.

Oh yes! This thread has been awesome! BB got me through the entire day with 4g on with the stock battery! (misplaced my extended)
I love the battery app too. And... what are the good apps for the notification drawer switches? =) I can't remember.

Try Jb Sourcery. It has some pretty cool customizations

Just to name a few I have tried.

Reporting back: So far, BB is almost as good as my ICS battery life experience, and better than Vicious ROM. I think I'll stay with this ROM for a while. I miss the notification toggles in Vicious, but I don't want to have an app running all the time to provide that function.

I highly recommend BB.
