Jelly bean looks awesome..but this update slows down the phone drastically..did try increasing the ram to 302 but still no change in performance.. Have gone back to ics stable rom update which works brilliantly anf gives nearly 200 mb ram free..
Can you share the ICS ROM details?.Even.I switched back.. This one almost bricked my phone!
YOU guys are doing a great job .God bless you all as well as XDA-developers.. i have acouple of questions. 1. i installed the ICS4.0.3 almost 4months ago…but i again went back to my official ginger bread..the reasons were two….. a. the file manager was quit awekward… b. the radio was absent…. now do u know whether these issue have been targeted in this version????
Whats the latest official update fr sgs? Plz provide a link… Thanx
official is Gingerbread and the unofficial one is the Jellybean
Good, but flash player not working
This is as stable as other jelly bean roms like cm10 ,TAJB ,Helly bean, Slim bean, ………

Those who come from any custom ROM may have network or some other problems after installing this JB update. I had also the network issue. Then I did a factory rest and wiped cache and through Odin updated GB XXJVU and rooted with the root package of XXJVU. After that again through Odin updated XXJW4 and rooted with its root package. Again did a factory reset and cache wipe and installed the Jellybean 4.1.1. My SGS GT-I9000 is working now now without any problem.

Can I ask u a favor Pradeep or anyone from here who have this ROM on their phones? I was trying to switch the storage from internal to external sd when I accidentally deleted the ‘vold.fstab’ file and now my phone’s messing up. Would anyone be so kind to send me a copy of this file to my email address? rmlc17@gmail.com
You will find this particular file from the folder system\etc.

just re apply the update from the recovery mode, it should fix the issue
