It's actually JB 4.1.2 now bro!

It's just been released a while ago. If talking about battery life, I had a run with the previous 05/10 built and seems like I was able to get roughly 3 hours of screen time using the built-in kernel with badass governor. In terms of scrolling smoothness in applications such as browsing, still feels sticky but UI is very smooth.

I'm currently testing out ParanoidAndroid and so far seems pretty good and stable. I've tested a couple of JB builts such as the one from Bruce and also AOKP but then not satisfied with the scrolling smoothness. They tend to be sticky when flicking up and down. When I tried the latest ParanoidAndroid, it seems to be pretty decent and I'm quite satisfied with the scrolling smoothness. The best thing I like about it is the ability to change the DPI of the components. Do give it a run and see if you like it. If you still don't like it, you can use HyperNonSense which has all the Sense stuffs removed but then it's very fast and smooth. I've used that for half a year as my daily driver.

Yup, but the problem is that this is not a persistent mod. Everytime bruce updates the ROM, someone needs to update the mod as well.

If you want high performance for your phone, any kernels will do. You just have to set the governor to Performance.

I've been using the AOSP SuperXE 4.2.2 Build 2 for almost a month as my daily driver and there were no problems at all. Battery life has been excellent so far.

You can try out SuperXE 4.2.2 Build 2 if you're interested. This is a pure AOSP ROM without mods and I've been using it as my daily driver for more than a month without problems.

Yup this is the pure vanilla JB ROM that's why it's called AOSP. So there won't be any sense stuffs in it. As for performance I've not had any lags at all, smooth as butter. However, it depends a lot on your usage. I don't use my phone for gaming but for business and the usual internet browsing/communication stuffs. I understand that there may be some graphical glitches for gaming due to HTC not releasing our Sensation graphics driver for JB.

Don't worry that's not a stupid question. So far I've been using the default kernel which came with the ROM and it has been very stable and I'm getting very good battery performance out of it.

The XDA link is correct.
I have no issues accessing the download link. Maybe you'd like to try this instead: http://www.super.in.rs/page7.html

Perhaps you wanna try this out... http://d-h.st/1Ey

SuperXE 4.2.2 Build 3 is up!

Perhaps you can try this -> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2156889/all
I previously got my Anker from this seller.

So far so good...as stable as build 2.

Did you perform a full wipe coming from a different ROM?

My best practice in flashing a rom will always follow these steps:
1. Perform a nandroid backup
2. Wipe cache + dalvik
3. Format all partitions (except sdcard)
4. Wipe data/factory reset
5. Install rom
6. Install gapps
7. Reboot...done.

I will definitely do all these everytime I flash any rom and so far so good for me.

Before getting yourself a new battery, perhaps you can try this business card trick and see if it solves your problem. If you pull the right top side of the battery a little down, you'll notice that the battery will make a better connection with the four pins. Put something in between the top right of the battery and the casing, an unused business card will do and just need a small piece of it. DO THIS WHILE YOUR PHONE IS COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. If this trick doesn't solve your problem, then it's time to get a new battery.

As for the chinese input, I think you can install Google Pinyin IME from Google Play. I'm not too sure about linking google contacts with fb contacts coz I don't use that but I think there are some apps that you can try from Google Play as well such as UberSync Facebook Contact Sync., however I'm not sure if that's what you want.

SuperXE 4.2.2 Build 4 is up!

If S2W is not important to you, perhaps you can stick with the default kernel for a while coz it's been rock solid stable for me and battery life is great!
