HTC Sensation running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, alpha AOSP ROM, on Telecom XT. Rough around the edges but showing much potential considering it's pre-beta. My daily driver now.

So, JVQ seems very smooth, even faster than past roms. Some nice new graphics/icons. Once quick question though, has anyone had any issues wuth GPS on this rom, my old rom only took a few seconds to lock on, and this one just doesnt want to lock on at all, ... Any ideas ? Cheers

I just updated this phone to 2.3.3 using a leaked(?) Samsung ROM. Before doing so, we backed up all the contacts to the SD card, twice as vcf files(s). Alas after the ROM upgrade, when we tried to restore the contacts, the SD card was empty! And the user had been adding new contacts, not to the SIM nor to GMAIL but to the phone so they were lost. Luckily the phone syncs with Exchange so many of his contacts were in Exchange and once we resync'ed they came back. I am not a Samsung user (have a N1) and was surprised that when you add a contact you can choose Phone, SIM, Gmail or Exchange. On my N1 I only have the choice of Gmail or Exchange, no phone or SIM. That way if you flash the phone, you don't lose all your contacts since they should be in the cloud. System One: Popcorn Hour A200, PS3 (US 60G) dead and now replaced with a PS3 SuperSlim, NPVR running on Sempron 3000 (XP), Sony BDP-S390 BD player, Logitech Revue, Pioneer AVR, JVC 56" D-ILA 720P RP TV System Two: Popcorn Hour A110 , Oppo BDP-80 BluRay Player with hardware mode to be region free, Vivitek HD1080P 1080P DLP projector with 100" screen.

That way if you flash the phone, you don't lose all your contacts since they should be in the cloud. Are you talking about the internal SD or the external SD? Backing up to somewhere you're about to flash doesn't seem very safe. SIM is fine because it won't be touched, nor will the external SD. Especially since you can remove them... :-) GMail is the best bet because you can simply sync to get everything back as it was. Pity you found out the hard way. I learned that way as well, sadly. But I won't repeat the error... Galaxy S has gone to its new owner. HTC Sensation running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, alpha AOSP ROM, on Telecom XT.

Hey all, Been out of the game for about a month and hate to see myself left behind in the neverending pursuit of ROM smoothness on SGS. I'm itching to flash. Can someone please give a quick update on what is currently the smoothest and most stable combination? I'm currently on Doc V10.ZSJPJ / JPP / speedmod-k13d-500Hz. (Thinking about it I don't quite remember all the nuances of flashing. But that can be sorted with a couple of late night xda sessions :) ) Thanks
