Yep. My phone was sourced from Germany and I have the official German JB ROM installed. Apart from a brief flirtation with Paranoid Android several months ago I've stuck with the stock ROMs and rooted them just so I have some control over the crapware that gets included and can do things like change DPI and block ads.

Been using this battery now for 5-6 days. I was a bit disappointed at first as there didn't seem to be much difference. Then I noticed that, although it seemd to drain just as quickly as usual to start with during the day, by the evening I was left with 30-40% which is way above the 10-15% I was getting before. I've had a fairly light day's use today and am currently on 56% 15 hours after I unplugged it.
So a big thumbs-up from me and thanks to the OP.

So here we are a few months down the line and I'm pleased to report that the battery is still going strong.
I've recently received the JB update and i can't honestly say that I get any more life out of it. I have noticed that it runs warmer though during certain tasks, spending alot of it's time running between 41-49 degrees. I know that's not a battery issue per say but something which I would think affects the battery life
Over all though, a massive improvement on the stock battery.
Summary...... if your phone starts exhibiting odd charge/discharge behaviour, screen flicker and mad battery data, take your battery out and place it on a table.... is it flat? Chances are the battery is warped.
Buy a new one as the constant shorting inside the phone is probably damaging some circuits in there too
Cheers
