I have several android devices. Nexus 7, HTC sensation (elegancia 3.1), Asus TF101(revolution), and RAZR(simplex).

Each of these devices are still on ICS. In the case of my RAZR, is on SIMPLEX 1.04 (8/4).

My nexus 7 is on Jellybean of course, but each of my other devices while on ICS all have GoogleNow either built into the ROM or simply added.

What other features are part of Jellybean that i may be missing? I really like all my current ROMS but using my nexus 7, haven't seen any particular feature setting it apart from ICS.

Is there anyone here who has upgraded to a Jelly ROM and would not go back to ICS?

With Google Now functioning on ICS and with the JB lockscreen stuff out there now. Im not sure how much extra features you get. That being said, I have JB on every Android device in my home. But i'm also the guy who wants to have the latest and greatest.

It's more so interaction with the OS vs any single feature. It's smooth, fast and responsive! I wouldn't go back on my Razrmaxx.

Jb seems more responsive to me. Not much difference as far as over all looks but some small changes. Like say u have 2 SMS programs and u choose one and on ICS you have the option to set as default. With jb it let's u choose one program and then select just once or always to set it as default.

But is there a fully working JB rom? I really need the camera and I do change into landscape more quite often?

[EmericanX]

DHacker and Hash have done great work so far on the jellybean front. The camera works on the "stock" builds... meaning none kexec. As far as improvements go the biggest visual change as you can tell from the N7 is the notifications. You may or may not notice much "experience" difference depending on the build you decided to go with. You stated you're on Simplex so I know you're on Safestrap! That said IMHO I think it would be worth it for you to flash a JB build and see if it suits your needs for now. Just make sure you have updated safe strap.

I'm running full throttle cm10 with jelly bean. No freezes, force closes, reboots lock ups on anything so far. Camera and data both working.

I would point out that camera works, but flash does not. Also, taking still shots during a video does not work. Picture messaging (MMS) isn't working yet, but that one is supposed to be fixed in an update today.
Other than these issues, everything else has been spectacular on that ROM.

Awesome, thanks. i think i'll try it, at least on my Razr.

Can anyone reccomend a JB rom that has all the camera features working inlcuding video, and since i will occasionally push out my phone to my big screen to show pictures, the hdmi out would be nice, webtop is a plus but not critical as long as i can do mirroring.

Weird picture messaging works for me. Haven't tried flash and you tube seems to b working. Maybe me pic messaging is working cuz I use go SMS.

Just to be clear, I was talking about camera flash not working, not Adobe flash.

ive been trying jb on my galaxy s 3 and im not impressed. no where near as smooth as some are claiming it is.

[midas]

I just tried 2 different JB ROMS today. I really like them, but for me the deal breaker, right now, is the phone not working with Bluetooth. If you have BT turned on you can't hear the other party and they can't hear you. This happens both if you're actually connected or not connected. I use BT in my car all the time and can't be without it.

[Thach]

I think others would agree that its really up to what you are looking for in a rom and how important some functions are to you. The JB roms have made leaps and bounds and are fantastic. I personally am happy with the ICS roms that we have now though. The best thing about android and our devs is the choices that we have.

I do not know if it'll work with jelly bean the FV 5 camera app is awesome. What I'm running now works too good to change and I got too much installed . and no titanium backup for anything like that can I've got a copy everything manually to get it to backup right
