Yes to all your questions
Why take so much trouble to have ota?
Stock rom is always worse than custom rom
Go n flash the various jb roms now available
Well, I had a series of bad experience with the phone, not sure what caused it though.
I was jogging with the phone with earphones plugged in using the nike app, and suddenly it crashed (screen hangs and the music playing keeps reloop). I wrapped the phone in a ziploc bag to ensure that no moisture can go into the phone, and i double checked the ziploc bag later to find that no sign of moisture ever entered the bag.
So back to the phone, once it crashed, i had to pull battery to shut it off. After that, my device will boot to show that I have 0% battery and shut down right after that. After several tries, it wouldn't even boot pass the google screen. But i noticed that whenever i slot the battery in, the notification light will bilnk in red at various pace.
Tried rebooting alot of times, then tried boot into recovery mode and wipe data and tried again. Finally it boots and I managed to make it work again. But another problem still entrails. The phone thinks that my earphone is perpetually plugged in. Therefore all my media sounds do not work - eg. phone call can only work via loudspeaker, music player don't play, youtube don't play, notification sounds do work though. Those sounds that do not work will come through when i plug in my headphones though.
So i did a series of reset bla bla bla and finally it worked again. Then i started to notice that the battery life of the phone became worse. Initially i was able to get through a day without any problem at all, with at least 20% battery left. Now, my phone will become dead by 3-4pm. Tried recalibrating the battery, improved a lil bit. so i suspect is the kernel's fault - so thats why I want to flash it back to stock kernel and hope for the best.
Oh and 1 more thing, my USB connection does not work (no response from any computer after plugged in) since the fiasco, until 2 days ago, when i plugged in the USB cord, the connection worked but it keeps connects and disconnect.
