As many know, on 12-24-2012 4.1.2 JB rolled out OTA style to some though probably accidentally.
System Version 89.72.8
I, like many others, took the plunge without knowing much about it.
The only trouble I had installing it was getting SU to update binary on ICS after uzing DRU 2.81 to get back back to .211, I had been on .215
A quick SU app only data wipe got me back on track. Restored root on JB by following Matt's directions.
**BUT to get to the point of this thread, now that many of us are on it:
-What new features have you found?
-What changes do you like? Dislike?
-Are there known workarounds for any of our dislikes?

Getting these questions answered may help some decide if they want to take the plunge or not, and help out those of us who did.

I'll get us started:
Like: Transparent status bar on home screen
Smooth so far
Good signal so far
Dislikes: Flash not supported officially
Long pressing the search button now does the same thing as just pressing the search button. Google now. I used to long-press it as a shortcut to SoundHound, WidgetLocker, etc. *#*#INFO#*#* no longer works (Edit: it does if you are in the dialer from Phone but Not dialer from People which is what I was using)

Smart actions is the version that does not let you turn off mobile data when WiFi is on … :-(

Not as buggy as ICS that's for sure...although I haven't ran through its paces yet I noticed the screen rotation was laggy a bit. But I notice any bugs I'll post here

FYI:

I was able to update to this and then use Matt's utility to go back to .211 without a problem!


IT would be really nice if somebody would de-odex and repackage the OTA for SafeStrap.

Matt said this wasn't possible... how did you do this?

Just recently lost my HTC Rezound I've had since it's release.. came from a Droid 2 Global and before that LG Ally. All rooted and flashed different stuff I'm not new to this but kinda new to the Razr.

From the time i've had it and had the Rezound with ICS, this JB leak is soo much quicker between transitions, whether just scrolling the home screens or opening aps. Plus it all looks a lot cooler with the transition effects. It's all the speed and aspects of Jelly Bean I liked that I experienced when using the JB roms here, but i miss the customization. That will all of course come soon. Definitely worth the update

I'm thinking it's just like a rom you need to calibrate the battery by letting it die and recharge completely before you will get good battery life. I got 4 hours on screen with about 12 hours off the charger and I was at 20% on a maxx so it's definitely not the best I've gotten

Can anyone verify Fastbootability?

I was told the CDT.Bin changes.

I have noticed a great improvement with the new JB leak. I'm more excited to see what our awesome developers do with it though.

The transparent home screen status bar is something I've been waiting forever for. I also like the font and the new animations. I'll test battery life tomorrow.
If I helped you at all, don't be afraid to hit that like button! :D
