custom rom based on stock rom are very stable, doubt will have any hang or reboot as long you dun mess with custom kernel settings.

No. Using slim bean.
No point keep changing rom since slimbean is good enough for me.
All custom rom more or less similar only.

I don't have the link anymore, if I remember correctly, it was his last unit.

Now that you mention the battery, I realize I have an extra battery that I bought from brotan.
I hope to sell it. It doesn't have nfc, but the capacity same as ori battery.
Pm me if interested.

Disable app in settings is the same as freezing the app using titanium backup.

Disabled apps appear as frozen app when view in titanium backup.
They areconsider transparent by the system and don't consume any ram.

This phone GPS super fast.
Most of the time get lock between 10-30 seconds.

The longest I have to wait is 2-3 minute. Only happen once, Maybe that day bad weather.

This is interesting,

samsung touch wiz camera app for aosp roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370869

wow now my phone got so many camera app, aosp stock camera, aosp camera modded with photosphere, and touch wiz camera

the photosphere cam that i flash doesn't replace the stock aosp cam.

stock aosp cam have great video recorder with smooth frame rate,
able to choose focus mode, and have more feature such as true view, smart shutter and save to sd card option

photosphere cam no focus mode, low framerate video recording. its a terrible camera, and only good for photosphere.
for a bonus, it can snap pic while doing video recording, but useless since video framerate is too low.

wow the greenify app is awesome.

my phone has been running for 8 hours 46 minutes since unplugged
screen on time 1 hour 25 mins
all the time mobile data on, only use 2g connection,
sync off, lots of whatsapp

now still got 73%

slimbean, but i dont think its the rom that helps.
i dont feel slimbean any battery saving compared to rootbox,aokp or cm.

but after install greenify, realize that alot of apps have services running in the background.
i have greenify facebook, google currents, air droid, maps, amazon app store, chrome, boat browser, feedly, youtube, shazam, youtube.

all the above have push notifications, hibernating them really save alot of juice.
facebook takes 2 seconds longer to launch after greenify, but other apps launch just equally fast.

How to see the percentage? I use the slider, agak agak 20-25%
Now left 11% juice, 3 hour 54 mins screen on, 1hour 6 min voice call.
Phone been running for 17hour 22 mins

Wana sleep and let it charge already.
Glad I installed greenify.

just use titanium backup to freeze system app.
on completely stock rom, i usually freeze up to 65 system apps,
includes live wallpaper,note,memo,s calender, widgets,chat on, the 4 useless hubs, etc...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634624
refer above links for apps that are save to be removed.
basically anything green, just freeze it.

it may be just me, but i dont feel phone is any faster before and after freezing those app on stock rom.
if you're concern about bloatware, use aosp based custom rom, slimbean is number 1 for bloatless.

for comparison,
samsung touch wiz rom between 500-800MB
cyanogenmod and other aosp rom is about 150MB for rom + 100MB for gapps
slimbean is 92MB (including rom + gapps)

greenify, and what it does

download greenify from play store, root required
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....greenify&hl=en

Just made a neat tasker profile.

i usually never turn on auto-sync, its a waste of battery.
i dont need to constantly sync my contacts,calendar,browser,and email.
i only prefer to sync them on wifi and charging.

its a hassle to on and off sync everytime i connect and disconnect the charger

just make a simple tasker profile. this way, phone will turn on auto sync when 2 conditions are met, which is wifi connected and charger connected. and it will auto off sync when wifi disconnected or charger disconnected.

condition:
phone state,wifi connected = any (connected to any wifi network)
&
phone state, power source, any (means usb,wireless,or wall charger)

task:
net, auto-sync = on

exit task: (exit task is action to be done when conditions no longer fulfilled)
net, auto-sync = off

go volume set notification volume to max?

or use your own custom notification sound. the default sounds included in the rom are soft and i dont like them.
place your desired ringtone at /media/audio/notification, reboot and you will find it in the ringtone selection settings

no idea bro, i find the volume to be fine for me. i never really compared it to touch wiz rom.

its strange that you mention slimbean is softer.
is this aosp rom bug? any one to confirm this? other aosp rom affected?

no offence, but the xperia s is a dual core with adreno 220 that is pushing 720p resolution.

for a person that use ipad4,nexus7,s2, s3, that try the xperia s, i notice drop framerate in so many places.
even scrolling through the recent app list is choppy, opening and navigating the album app is slow, not to mention the stock home screen often redraw itself.

there is absolutely no instances where the s3 (touch wiz or aosp) feels slower than the xperia s.
