Hey Guys, Hitesh here reviewing Codename Android [JB] port by 0.0. Its an awesome rom and will be broken down into sections. I will not go indepth with performance because that is fueled by an amazing kernel by Synthetic.Nightmare
Performance:
Its great. Although its not comparable to other ICS roms, its still pretty awesome for a port. Games like Dead Trigger are a bit choppy but normal games run just fine. The battery life takes a major hit though, probably due to the slight incompatibility between the kernel and the OS.
UI:
It looks beautiful, pretty run of the mill JellyBean stuff. The launcher is Trebuchet which is a great launcher, it comes with a lot of options but not as many as Apex or Nova, I personally prefer Trebuchet over the competition because its stays close to stock without distorting the search bar or making the phone look ugly. The UI is quick and responsive, not 60 FPS but that can be fixed with kernel 3.0 which is expected to drop soon.
Tweaks:
Since the Rom is based on CM10, the features do not disappoint. Everything from performance to status bar settings.
My Suggestions:
Go to Settings-Dev Settings and force GPU Rendering on the UI, that speeds things up by a lot. Also, SetCPU makes a lot of difference in this rom, profiles help, use a tweaked ondemand governor.
Gripes:
Rom Installation is a little confusing, ill make it simple for you guys
Dev Host is down, i'll post links when it comes back up.
1. Wipe Everything
2.Flash Rom- Found Here
3.Flash Gapps- Found Here
4.Flash BlindNNumb-Found Here
5.Flash LowMicFix-Found Here
6.Flash Grapefruit Kernel- Found Here
I thought finding the links to all of these the first time was difficult expecially at first glance.
