Never ROM'd a phone before but I'm seriously thinking about going with this ROM from SB after experiencing lags and lockups on my officially-JB updated Reverb. I thought about going back to ICS, but I don't want to give up Google Now.
Can I expect my phone to run better using this ROM, like it before the update to JB?
If I install this ROM, will I still get regular updates to the Google apps like Google Now and Gmail? Will Google Play think I have a JB phone such that it will offer me updates to Google Now?
I used CWM Recovery to make a backup of my current system so I'm thinking I can always revert back to it if I have problems. Is that right?
Are there any other disadvantages or things I should know before ROM'ing my phone?
