I must say, battery performance is better than I expected. 12hrs of my normal use and 50% still remaining. All I did was debloat and use CPU sleeper :)

Yes. Me, too. Not only are all calls on speaker but they are at full volume. It makes making calls impossible. Very annoying to say the least.

Trying to fix this I lost root. Figured I had nothing to lose so ran Matt's unbrick jelly bean utility and now my phone is working properly.

I just wanted to say thank you to Matt and others for their help with this! Directions were crystal clear and I had this up and installed within an hour. So far so good!

Made a noob mistake and played with the boot logo and boot animation after successfully upgrading to JB and successfully keeping root. Had to re install jb from stock recovery and lost root. For all the other ADHD noobs out there, DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR PHONE YET! :) wait for the "rom" based on jb :)

My phone is now painfully stock and not rooted because I was not patient.

Also, I need to say thanks to MATT again. He worked on and through Christmas to help everyone out.

You guys are pretty fast with getting all this stuff out there for us...three days out and already a downloadable leak, a new version of SafeStrap for the leak and a flashable base ROM for devs...pretty cool and thank you all again.

what I'm about to say is too late for you to do but,

FOR ANYONE WHO SCREWS UP THEIR STOCK SETUP and is stuck in bootloops or whatever, if you uninstalled something you should have and it broke something, use adb to restore it.

I had uninstalled the stock launcher and factory reset and because I didn't have my launcher, I was stuck with a blank screen. So I adb installed a launcher and was good to go.

Thanks for the advice for next time :). I already know there will be a next time for me

On xda you can download this version ported to ICS kernel, so you can run it on e.g. 2nd system without upgrading bootloader and kernel. And it's rooted. For GSM users I made a patch.

What if you have safestrap 3.x? Do you install on stock side?

Never mind.

Hey I'm stuck in a bootloop I think....so I restored root and everything was ok I restored all my apps and using root explorer I removed the service.jar and the service.odexed file and replaced the with service.jar and service.odexed from ics to get 1% battery increments and when I reabooted I stood on my boot animation....is there anything I can do? Or is my phone useless now?

I find that it is best to have a recovery plan before modifying critical files.

What have you tried so far?

SUCCESS!!!
Installed.
Rooted.
SQLite Hacked.
Exchange Email Setup.
No difference in 4G reception or WiFi.

All these things are working successfully for me with no issues noted so far. I am not going to press my luck and do too much for fear of losing root and hotspot. I considered installing Safestrap, but decided not to. I love it!

I uninstalled smart actions. Instead of freezing them. No problems running the system but I won't be able to ota down the road, although I suspect there will be a restore stock utility down the road. and I'm not sure all of the files associated with smart actions even if I wanted to adb

Can't you download smart actions from Google Play. And Matt's unbrick jelly bean utility will get you to a stock verizon of this release.

How do use adb restore my service.jar and service.odex files?
