[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Not the best place to discuss it but I meant mostly swiping experience. On almost every 4.2.X rom scrolling between homescreens (no difference on stock but it's unfortunately evident on cm10.1), in application drawer (especially widget tab) and even list scrolling is choppy compared to 4.1.2 roms. I don't know how it looks on every single handset and I am not trying to say or convince anybody that 4.2.X is ****ty. That's just how my gnexus behaves with two different versions of software and I must admit 4.1.2 gives me noticeably more fluid experience. I am almost completely satisfied with 4.1.2 while I find few things on 4.2.1 quite irritating. No big deal, I 'm sure it'll be improved in future.

*I've noticed some slowdowns on few 4.1.x aokp and earlier cm10-nightlies too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalintka:
I personally like 4.1.2 more than 4.2.1, 4.1.2 is not as heavy as 4.2.1 and clearly faster.

Nexus tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyguns:
true. and i dont really find the new two finger swipe down thing very fascinating.. my CNA toggles are perfectly fine right now! and the 360 camera are all flashable on 4.1.2 so no real reason to upgrade!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rd. Vortex:
Well, this ROM is really starting to look completely dead. No new updates for months. Shame really since CNA was definitely the best ROM I've used so far. Switched to XenonHD which seems promising so far...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] godofwar424:
XenonHD was great for me but after a few days it got really laggy and annoying and needed reboots quite often :(

Running SlimBean which is still having all the features and stuff worked on as its a Beta but its stable and smooth, very similar to CNA!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coldchillen:
one feature i havent seen on the other roms is the screen dim brightness. being able to set the brightness to 1 is really helpful, since i like starting out the day by reading news/weather/feeds/etc when i wake up. even the lowest brightness on the other roms is relatively bright compared to the "1" setting.

any other stable roms out there with this setting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tribes11:
That's it, I'm going back to cna 3.6.6 and android 4.1.1 (cause I don't like 3.8.0 toggles)...

I can't live with this ****ty battery duration on 4.2.1 kernels and Roms... That's why im going back to cna...

I rather not have photosphere which I love in order to get more battery life...

3 hours with phone screen turned off and my battery dropped from 100% to 81% this is absurd...

Thanks god I have CNA to go back...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rzgomba:
Could try 4.2 transformation pack.

Also download notification toggles from play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyguns:
get Screen Filter from google play store. thank me later :)

Just took a android backup of my CNA 3.8 setup, also backed up my apps with titanium... Really enjoying 4.2.1 on my Nexus 10 and curious to try on my GNex... Would prefer CNA version, but downloading XenonHD to try out in the meantime. might be back to CNA soon....should know by tomorrow...

EDIT: I have XenonHD installed for about an hour now, and its feeling just as smooth and snappy as CNA 3.8. I'll put it through its paces tomorrow and see if it's as stable as CNA. Very promising so far though.... Seems at LEAST responsive as CNA, and the customizations and 4.2.1 features are nice.

beamed from my Nexus 10, far, far away...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tribes11:
No its not. To begin with, the led customization isn't by far as good as the one on CNA.. plus the lock screen targets on CNA are perfect, 8 directions... on XenonHD only five...

Lock screen weather widget on CNA is there just when you press the power button to light up the screen, on XenonHD you can add a widget from the system that displays weather information but it doesn't sticky to the "default" page on the lockscreen so every time you press the power button you have to swipe to the side to see the weather...

Also it isn't as fast as CNA nor battery friendly lost 12% battery in 3 hours on XenonHD without using, with CNA I lose nothing on the same 3 hours...

So I don't see the point why people keep comparing CNA with XenonHD they're nothing alike and CNA holds more customization than XenonHD overall and better customization as stated with LED controller better than the one on XenonHD...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
In really considering coming back. The sods on 4.2.1 are killing me. And 4.1.2 was much faster in every way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iNeedICS:
I've been on 4.2 since I got my nexus about 2 months ago.. I'm on cna now and the speed and smoothness is amazing plus battery life!... The only thing I miss is the lockscreen and the photosphere
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coldchillen:
nice!! thanks much for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iNeedICS:
Am I the only one with this bug? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
Couldn't you just flash the gapps from 4.2.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
Just flash the transformation pack
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
no.. 4.2.1 gapps dont work on 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crispy1:
I was running XeHD for about a week. Various minor issues annoyed me. Lagging here and there. The show stopper for me was that i was struggling with WiFi tether and soft reboots. Back on CNA 3.8.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] friedCELLS:
I've been trying every 4.2 Rom since it started. Xylon, Xenon, Rasbean, Sourcery, you name it. As far as customization & speed, they're all decent. Never had good battery life though. After almost 2 months, I decided to try this again. Wow! The speed & fluidity is above any 4.2 Rom so far. And battery life is way better. No Sod's, no occasional lags. Love this Rom! Thx dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
Are you guys just wiping and flashing back? Or are you flashing stock image then going from there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarekh020:
Just wipe data and cache and dalvik ,then install rom and gapps ,dont forget to wipe dalvik and cach befor gapps and after ,just to be sure of clear and clean rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
Still deciding if i want to revert back. Im using the 14-1 xylon ROM. And since the modded version trinity was added to it I've had no problems at all. No sods, very fast, good signal and WiFi. Everything works 100%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayhammy:
Just curious. If all is 100%, why would you consider reverting back to Android 4.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iNeedICS:
Because 4.1 is smoother and has better battery life in some cases
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I'd be one of the first to try a new version of CNA if it were released. But I am finding the latest XenonHD stable to be very stable and fast so far. Battery life doesn't match the combo of CNA and leanKernel...but I haven't tried different kernels or CPU settings yet. Love CNA, but I like 4.2.1 too...

beamed from my Nexus 10, far, far away...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
For reason such as....... Lock screen, i mean what were they thinking lol. And of course the settings tiles. Its just a picture reference of the settings menu. It confuses me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarekh020:
Did you tried Sourcery v4.1 GSM , you would be pleased of its speed and plenty of customizations .i agree with you about the lock screen and i think its the worst invention that google come up with

Here is Sourcery link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801005
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eucurto:
All 4.2 ROMs starts fluid and snappy, then after a few days they lag as hell.... unfortunately...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarekh020:
Maybe clearing cache and dalvik solve this issue , If not then :

Try this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.pimp.my.rom&hl=en

it works like a charm , and use any start-up manager app if you have many apps installed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Very nice post. Actually I do find scroling still smoother on 4.1.2 roms compared to 4.2.1 (it stutters more often there imo) and this swiping experience makes me stick with 4.1.2 roms but I hate hegemonic thinking and I really like the way you discuss your point of view. Arguments without personal attacks. Well done!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sledge3n8:
I haven't had any problems with XenonHD 4.2 either. I had some SOD's when I was running Trinity kernel Alpha for 4.2 so I switched to a Trinity 4.1.2 kernel and I've been running problem free for almost two weeks now.

My son and I are running Xenon on our Nexus 7's problem free as well and my other son has Xenon on his Galaxy Nexus too, again, no problems. Four devices in my house, all running XenonHD, with no lag or SODs (well, no SODs after switching kernels)

I'm all over a CNA 4.2 ROM if he comes back. I'm a loyalist!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csolanol:
@Jonstrong I am in love with lean kernel too. Could you share tour trickster tweaks?

Ty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rzgomba:
What settings do you use with lean kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] godofwar424:
I did love XenonHD but I am at a loss with it as after about a week and a bit it just started lagging on the homescreens and slowly started happening everywhere. Been running SlimBean since and I do love it, although the 4.2 Build doesn't have ALL the features yet, it is the most stable and smoothest 4.2 ROM I have tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xuggs:
Try Xylon, you will surely like it. I am still waiting for CNA to release a 4.2 ROM.. as soon as it's out, I'm back!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
+1.. Xylon is best 4.2 rom IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prosumerhacks:
10char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:
Is xylon laggy as well as others?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
I don't know how the hell the others are saying all the 4.2.X roms are slower than the 4.1.X roms. The three I flashed (Cataclysm, Xylon, XenonHD) have ALL BEEN SMOOTH & FAST. Faster and smoother than the two or three 4.1.X roms I flashed and used previously. So try those three and come back with your final results on those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sledge3n8:
I run XenonHD and it is every bit as fast as any 4.1 ROM I've run too. It seems faster and smoother to me too. I have Xenon on my GNex and N7, and they both run with no lag & no problems.

I'm stumped by the issues people seem to be having with lag and SOD's. I think it is a kernel issue. I had some SOD's when I was running the Trinity 4.2 kernel, but no problems when I switched to a Trinity 4.1.2 build. I am currently running Lean kernel (with zero problems).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
different ppl are getting different experiences with 4.2, like for me it works better than 4.1.2 i have no issues that other have, but for some ppl it isnt working good..

1. the SODs issue is a google issues(4.2.2 is supposed to fix it), they confirmed it.. but the only kernel i have gotten SODs on was trinity 4.2 kernels

2. i agree i dont see any lag on any of the 4.2.1 roms/kernels i have used

3. for me 4.2.1 is better then 4.1.2 but like i said its a hit or miss, it is good for some but bad for others
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
But how are others having lower performance on the same rom as the other person with great performance? Is that emmc bug the reason?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
cuz every device is different..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I used 3.8 toro for 3+ months with no WiFi issues. I might be your kernel. Try leanKernel.

beamed from my Nexus 10, far, far away...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sledge3n8:
That happened to my son and me sometimes with 3.8. For us, a reboot would fix it for a while. I believe I was running Trinity and I had Franco running on my son's GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyguns:
i have the exact same issue, except it doesn't detect any WIFI, doesn't let me turn on or off wifi. reboot fixes it but it's damn annoying!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boki2911:
Merry Christmas to all Orthodox believers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:
Exactly the same here. Perhaps we should try other kernels, but I'm afraid they are not as fast and stable as Franco's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I read a few threads about detailed tweaking and tried following them but none resulted in huge improvements for the way I use my device. In the end, I would still play with various color profiles to tweak appearance, and try different governors....with this last adjustment having the greatest impact on performance and battery life for me. I would generally wind up with interactive, interactivex or ondemand. Your best settings may be unique depending on how you use your phone.

I'm now using Nexus Evolution and it starts with leanKernel, and performance and battery life are both excellent.

I used to be a fan of Franco but have found leanKernel to be excellent.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:
I've tried Leankernel and it work great so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
try AK link in my sig.. its as stable and fast as franco but has better battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:
I have said it too quick for Leankernel, the problem with Wi-Fi exists as well.:( Will try AK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I've been using leanKernel with CNA for several months, generally the latest exp, as these tend to be at least as good as most other dev's "stable" versions, and imoseyon is right at the forefront with incorporating latest linux enhancements, governors, etc. I flip-flopped back and forth with Franco for a while, but the experience for me has been more consistent with leanKernel over time -- I suspect imoseyon is a bit more conservative than Franco in pushing out experiments to users, although both are generally excellent.

Anyway - I've had ZERO wifi issues with leanKernel and CNA going back to the first JB versions and for 3 months with 3.8 (on toro, btw). WiFi locks on fast, when I leave a wifi area data switches over to normal VZW network quickly -- no email, messages, etc. missed.

Currently not on CNA 3.8 anymore -- got impatient and I'm now on Nexus Evolution, with leanKernel 5.5 exp1 -- and it's a brilliant combination. Rock solid, stable, fast and slippery -- and wifi is still excellent.

I suggest you might want to do some more exploration before assuming the issue is with your kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sledge3n8:
You might try booting into recovery and "Fix Permissions". That usually cures many issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tobitronics:
Stille waiting for cna.... Choosing now between slimbean, xenon andere modaco... Which one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sledge3n8:
XenonHD with Lean kernel running like a champ for me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
Xylon with AK Purity 007 is the best 4.2.1 combo for me.. great battery life(close to 5 hrs screen on time with both data and wifi on) and really smooth, no lag at all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csolanol:
Could you share your kernel settings (gobernor/scheduler, etc)?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
use the defualt kernel settings.. only changed color settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] csolanol:
Default settings are interactive/deadline?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDareDevil:
Probably off-topic but does could anyone upload this wallpaper from the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
no.. interactive/row

lol i tried but could never find that wallpaper
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devcager:
This is starting to be a joke! Why doesn't the developer just write one sentence about the progress or about the ending? I really appreciate him for CNA so much and I understand that this is more or less charity BUT there are so many waiting fans but we do not hear a word (except one short twitter post back in November) for such a long time. Just a one sentence commenting the state would please and assure so many people using CNA who are waiting in a kind of schizophrenia with trying other ROMs trying not to settle in them to much to come back to the new CNA. It takes 60 seconds to write one or two sentences, doesn't it?

Please, developer, tell us anything.... just SOMETHING!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boki2911:
Bravo for the post
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i am sure this post will make him post :rolleyes: my advice would be to assume it isnt coming and flash other roms.. if 4.2.1 CNA is released then come back to CNA... or if you like 4.1.2 stay with CNA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xuggs:
Whether or not an update comes by, I seriously hope the dev is OK. His last tweet was on 17th Nov and if not ROM related he'd sure be to tweet/post something else right?

OK Edit: His XDA profile page says last login on 1st Jan 2013 so he is probably alright. Good luck to him anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drafgnjom:
Ive heard good things about CNA. It would be great if Mr. Dev will make an update base on 4.2.1 :) I really like to see it with 4.2.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devcager:
I don't think that he reads this forum. There are too many posts to read it or to notice my one :) I also don't expect PM to work. He probably gets tunes of them and does not read them anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Agree :)

CNA has been great through 3.8 but after using JB 4.2.1 on my Nexus 10 I simply wanted to give it a try on my Toro GNex. I waited a while for CNA's version, and if it ever happens I'll give it a try. But the 4.2.1 ROMs have gotten solid these days and there are now a few good ones to choose between. I've got a great one installed right now (been using Nexus Evolution 3.0 for about a week) and it's been superb. No doubt CNA will be great if ever released, but for now I've stopped holding my breath...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devcager:
CNA is really a perfect ROM. I love the possibilities of customization.... but I really do not know which ROM to choose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
The only 4.2 ROM I've tried that wasn't laggy is the new AOKP its faster than any ROM I've ever used on my phone, 300+ free ram at all times so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phegro:
Just to let you know, Android RAM doesn't work like Windows RAM. You can have 20 MB free and it will still run smoothly. Android RAM is used in a way where it does NOT determine lagginess.

With that said; give MiNCO ROM a try. It isn't as customized as this is but its stable and comes with Franco kernel app built in.

1. ALL the 4.2.1 roms i have tried work smoothly, barely any lag

SODs are kernel related not rom related and the only kernel i get SODs with is trintiy... havent gotten SODs on any other kenrels

Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I've had NO SoD's with CNA or XenonHD (both the 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 versions). Only kernels I used in a few months have been leanKernel (favorite) and Franco. No SoD's in months. Also set minimum CPU no lower than 350, which I suspect also has something to do with it.

I really hate when ppl post this lie. Low RAM = slower phone. Happens to me EVERYTIME when my RAM gets clogged up (literally). I have to have it atleast around 100MB for it to be smooth. Can't wait to get a 2GB phone because I'm always around 100MB :(

lie? this is linux not windows.. like i said before in android free ram = wasted ram.. read this article to understand more

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
I already read about Android/Linux RAM management. It still slows down when low on RAM, so explain that. I rather have a good amount of free RAM, so 2GB in my phone would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
i havent noticed any speed difference even if i have less ram.. android seems to do a very good job of managing the memory IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
Its true that free ram is wasted ram. However, it never hurt to have more free ram. I've used android phone with 128mb,512mb and 1gb ram, and i in my experience, when having little ram eg. 100-200mb, sometimes it lag a little when opening apps because the phone will try to close some apps to enable ram for other apps.

So my point here is that, having bigger ram capacity, android will manage ram and multitasking better. If android is so good with ram management, there wouln't be any need for 1gb ram phones. Companies will just stick with 512mb ram. This is my opinion, i dont mean any harm.. :D

Chill dude. There is nothing wrong with positive reviews from users. Regardless of how minute their information is, its still a contribution to this thread. How would you like it if this was your ROM and you saw a user shoot down another user because he praised the ROM and indirectly acknowledged how satisfied he is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Muvolt:
In that case he could just say something good about the rom instead of making a useless comparison and raising the hype without a proper explanation.Comments are not read only by rom developers , but also by other users too. It's better to keep things clean and simple for everybody rather than causing confusion. Also, I don't think that Codename is around here anymore...
