I will post the link for you since your post count is low. Good work tracking this down for everyone. I know many people have stated Liquid Smooth is a great ROM, but the older 4.1.2 versions are not available anymore.

http://androidrootaccess.blogspot.com/2012/08/liquidsmooth-jelly-bean-v20-beta-2-for.html

Scroll to the bottom to get the download links. I did not see Maguro in the list of download options.

This will give me something new to try besides CNA 3.8. I have the latest CM 10.1.3 RC downloaded, which is 4.2.2 ,but never installed it. Interested to see if they figured out any tweaks or fixes for the low RAM on our device.

Still waiting to see if 4.3 for toro gets a fix for the data/network hand offs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupdude2:
Thank you! There is a link for Maguro near the middle. It is RC8 instead of RC9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmare:
4.1.2 is srill available at simroms.net

Slimbean 4.1.2 + tiny kernel + pgm + lagfix can't be beat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmead1143:
Sorry for the noob question but what does pgm and lagfix mean? What files are those or what needs to be added?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmead1143:
If you go back to 4.1.2 I'm assuming you flash the 4.1 radios? Please advise thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:
No

You Can Flash Any Radio On Any 4.1/4.2/4.3 ROMS :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmare:
Tiny Kernel - custom kernel that supports pgm

Pgm - providers gesture power on/off ie slide to wake

Lagfix - trims your emmc for performance boost (check your device for brick bug first)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmead1143:
Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
I don't know about bluetooth, but 4.3 has a huge problem with data handoffs between 3g and 4g. Makes it not worth upgrading to. Major bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I've only heard about this in regards to the Verizon model. This is a lack of updated radios from Verizon and not Google's end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
Yes, that's correct, it's the Verizon model. There are devs working on it, so I wouldn't assume it's the radios at fault though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IRX120:
Has anyone went back to 4.0? I was thinking about it just cause stock 4.3 and 4.2 on the gnex are so slow, cfx ROM is the best 4.3, any suggestions for a 4.0 ROM/kernel still available?

Sent from my Nexus 4 [NEO [MENTION=4149147]1.8[/MENTION]36 GHz] on [PSX v5.0 4.3]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlvlawrence:
Going back to 4.0 is insane crazy talk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SirBindy:
4.1.2 is the sweet spot.

Going back to ICS, is cause to have you involuntarily committed to an asylum!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stead2120:
I'm still on AOKP 4.0.4 Toro, it works great with no issues. Wifi tethering did not work for me even with FoxFi on 4.2.2, it was broke (Granted I haven't tried it in a while). I'm not even thinking about messing around with 4.3 at this point. Plus if I want to mess around with the latest greatest roms, I play around on my Nexus 10. I personally did not have lag issues with 4.2.2, I think it's actually the phone's sweet spot, especially with Mmuzzy.

I still recommend the following below:

Went back to running 4.1.2 - Liquid rom and it's great. Plenty of options - I had really good battery on 4.2.2 Sorcery and may try that as well in a few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zujko:
Hi, which is the best rom for battery, 4.1.2, 4.2 or 4.3?

I have version 4.3 maguro stock kernel (before, fancy kernel, mpokang kernel) and I noticed that there is an battery drain issue on 4.3..

If it might have better luck with 4.1.2 or 4.2?

EDIT: Installed LiquidSmooth 4.1.2 RC8, for now, working (has anyone noticed the noise when talking on the handset?) superfast (stock kernel)..

We will see how the battery behave on this ROM.

Or is it normal that drains the battery, or the battery is too small for this type of device:D

Otherwise, before i had stock 4.3 maguro stock kernel, deoxed, best result is, 1d9h, screen on time 3h..

But certainly i plan to buy a larger battery..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
Best battery I had on GN was on 4.2.2 and Anarkia kernel :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zujko:
4.1.2 RC8 liquid maguro, stock kernel, few apps freez with TB...

What do you think about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:
poor i guess

i'm getting 4hours 20 mins constant on screen time over the day on 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zujko:
I knew..:)

I tried in these few days: 4.0.4, 4.1.2. and last for now 4.3...

All three ROMs is very fast and smooth, but best battery life is, on 4.3.. (3h screen on time 1.5d)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spukey:
Interesting, which roms are you using, stock or custom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupdude2:
4.3 Battery Life

I read about improved battery life of 4.3. Some articles claimed that 4.3 increased battery life from 4-6 hours to more than 25 hours.

I looked through all of the custom roms and decided on Carbon (toro)(toroplus)(maguro).

My first impressions were that the rom was fairly smooth. The quick settings in the notification drawer are ugly compared to the compact power widgets in Slim. One thing that surprised me is the incredible amount of customization options. Carbon draws from Slim, AOKP, PA, and CyanogenMod, so the options are pretty extensive. I was particularly impressed with the transparent navigation and status bars which would change color as the screens changed and weren't ever hard to read or ugly like other implementations I've seen. I also liked the ribbons which acted like a sidebar which could be accessed from any screen by swiping from the edge of the screen.

I had given up 4.1.2, moved on to a better world. Then I went out to my car for the drive home, connected to my bluetooth stereo, and the audio quality was terrible and I heard pops and clicks occasionally. I have known about bluetooth problems in 4.2.2, but expected them to be solved with 4.3. Unacceptable!

I upgraded back to 4.1.2. I was surprised yet again by the smoothness and responsiveness of the interface, even after just a few hours on 4.3. Thanks for reading and stay strong noble 4.1.2 users!

I keep testing out new custom 4.3 ROMs, but just can't see any reason to leave 4.1.2, it just does exactly what I want.

Just wish the GN had more ram, but running lagfix scheduled nightly helps with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I can't even be bothered to try 4.3. I'll just stick with 4.1.2 until I buy a new phone. I'm actually deciding to not fix what ain't broke for once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
i have problem with instagram on android 4.1.x

i downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2 official google factory image and tried instagram but in instagram's notification section it gives me fc and i cant check my instagram

i tried custom kernel and even custom roms based on android 4.1.x and all of them had that issue i even tried cm10 official and miui 4.1.2

but in 4.2.2 and 4.3 i dont have any problem

i will be appreciate it if everyone give me a fix or something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tribes11:
Going back to 4.1.2 today, tried many 4.3 Roms and none can pass 1 week of usage without becoming sluggish...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spukey:
I tried the Pacman 4.3 rom and found it sluggish too. I am back on 4.1.2 now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
Is there any new consensus on what is the best 4.1.2 ROM? I tried Stock and Cyanogen 10 a while back, but the first lacked too many features and the latter had some nasty quirks on mine. I'm back on Liquid Smooth 2.9 even though the lag is annoying. Which 4.1.2's are you preferring these days?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spukey:
I use AOKP and am happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
so am i the only one who has this problem with instagram on 4.1.2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Works fine for me:

Running

4.1.2 PA 2.54 ROM

Zen v10 kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
so actually you can go to Following tab and see your following activity?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Ahhh!

Got the app to crash, but only when switching from you tab to following tab.

Otherwise following does work.

Edit:

Yep it keeps crashing, works occasionally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
Thats exactly my problem

I also cant check my notification feed to because it makes the instagram crash

I even downgraded instagram to lower versions but no luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coldblackice:
Same here -- what version of Instagram are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
I tried

4.1.2

4.0.2

3.5.3

with all of them had problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Coldblackice:
Shoot :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sumeshpremraj:
I've been testing 4.1 to 4.3, stock and custom.

I'm using Purity ROM 4.3 and it seems pretty smooth and lag free for me. Or maybe I just got used to whatever lag it has :| It is AOSP, not CM, and at least right now, AOSP seems to have better battery life and less bugs. Even better was the latest stock build of 4.3, but I missed the little customizations on custom ROMs.

Also battery life (esp when idle) seems to have improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cloudy_cloud:
Purity 4.3 has been great

I had stayed on 4.2.2 until yesterday when I decided that is finally time to take the plunge. I normally try to wait until initial bugs have been hashed out by those more experienced than myself. Purity 4.3 has been GREAT. There was one questionable signal drop, but after switching to Golden Kernel I have not had any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigblue4life:
I read somewhere that if you go back from 4.2 to 4.1 that the file system is messed up. How do I go about avoiding that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupdude2:
I think the latest recoveries will compensate for the 0 folder problem by preventing them from nesting inside themselves. However, when moving from 4.2 to 4.1, it will still move all files from the SDcard to a 0 folder in Data/Media.

I found the best method for moving the files and removing the symbolic link on rootzwiki here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] themirrorstruth:
Did this fix the problem for you? I'm just drilling down from the 0 folder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TRIPLEFIRST:
Generally 4.3 is much faster
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupdude2:
I have used the code from rootzwiki numerous times with success. If you have multiple 0 folders already, modifying the code to include the sub 0 folders should work.

I decided once again to try another 4.3 rom. I went through SlimRom, Liquidsmooth and a few others with no satisfaction.

Finally I tried Paranoid SaberDroid (maguro) (toroplus) (toro). It is based off ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2. It doesn't have as many customization options, but it has halo and pie navigation which are new to me. The developer has focused on speed and stability over features and it shows! I'm hesitant to say that it matches the pure smoothness of 4.1.2, but of all the 4.3 roms I'm tried, it's the one that comes the closest.

Update: The new ROM lasted a grand total of 3 days. I'm back on Slim 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
do you have instagram issue with slim 4.1.2 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupdude2:
I installed Instagram just now, took a picture, applied a filter and shared it. I didn't encounter any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupdude2:
KitKat performance compared to 4.1.2

Now that a number of KitKat ROMs are available for our phones, reports claim that the update makes their phones feel like new phones. I can't take the reports seriously because most people are going from 4.3 to 4.4 and, as we already know, going from 4.3 to 4.1 made our phones feel like new phones.

If going from 4.1 to 4.4 made our phones feel like new phones, then I would be truly impressed. Does anyone have any experience going from 4.1 to 4.4 and the resulting performance gains/losses? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Still way too early to rely on current alpha builds for 4.4, tested out slimkat but its not ready yet.

I'm sticking w/what works for my needs and that's still 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d3adbroke:
anyone have a download link for slim 4.1.2 cant find it on the slim site?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retro83:
Is there any way to update the HTML browser engine in 412 to that in a newer version?

I have a problem where I can't sign into Amazon because it makes the browser crash. Problem is that LoveFilm also appears to use the same HTML display code because it also crashes at the exact same point (LoveFilm uses Amazon's sign in details now).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ILA:
The main reason the 4.2.2 was laggy was because of the memory leak in the systemUI, right? Well, CM10.1.3 and other 4.2 ROMs have managed to fix that issue...

So my question is: Is the 4.1.2 faster than the 4.2.2 ROMs with the fixed systemUI leak (i.e. CM10.1.3)?

I'm thinking about flashing back to the CM10.0.0...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Amazon.ca sign in works fine for me using the stock browser in 4.1.2 PA 2.54, so does Amazon app store.

Not 100% sure about the lovefilm issue?

Is this the app your talking about:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0060Q4B3A/ref=pe_245070_24466410_M1T1DP

Cause it does crash when opening app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retro83:
This is the app, might be UK only:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovefilm.android

Or, go to lovefilm.com, click "sign in" (top right of screen) then click Sign In With Amazon. You get 'Browser crashed' message. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Yep UK only, but the site load.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Seriously you guys should try 4.4 on ART. It's really really smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stebomurkn420:
I went back to 4.1.2 yesterday after running pretty much every kernel ROM combo possible on 4.2.1,4.2.2,4.3,4.3.1,4.4... overall I'm going to have to agree that 4.1.2 is this phones sweet spot. From the quick boot times, to the snappy transitions, to the flawless data handoffs. I am running liquid smooth on my vzw nexus and from my experience over the last 24 hours I'll be staying on 4.1.2, implementing what I can from the more recent versions of Android. And yes I've tried 4.4 with art enabled, still not on par with this liquid smooth ROM I'm running ATM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:
The only thing ART does is make you think that the phone is more responsive (it's not)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aaryana:
hey guys is this thread for samsung nexus 4 - 1gb ram and 1ghz processor.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedDeadDorito:

This is for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

1GB RAM, 1.2ghz dual core.

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

you guys were right. This ROM is like a new phone :laugh:

If only I could get the Nexus louder builds working :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbsen1:
Can you guys recommend a Rom for 4.1.2 or are you using the Stock Rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d3adbroke:
I'm using slim 3.1.0 working nice and fast for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
is there any fix for instagram issue with 4.1 roms ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] picylot:
I've found CM10 most stable and responsive 4.1.2 GN rom after long period of usage. All 4.2 and 4.3 roms becomes laggy in few days and battery drain is not on par with 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kisrita:
I am back to cm 10, after using cm 10.2 nightlies for a few weeks, then the cm 11 alpha. The only definite difference I can tell without measurements is the lag between pushing the power button and the screen powering on with a security option enabled such as the slide away screen. It does not exist in cm 10, but it's very noticeable on cm 10.2 and 11. So much so that I had to turn the security screen off. But otherwise, I'm not sure if there is a difference. Perhaps I would see a slow down if I didn't keep changing Roms :). I think I will be back to cm 11 once it's more mature. I couldn't get Wi-Fi tether working on it, which is a deal breaker for me, but otherwise it is surprisingly good considering it's alpha status.

But I can also confirm that cm 10 is a good android 4.1.2 version for those looking to roll back. You cannot install the new kit Kat android launcher on it, (you can on cm 10.2), but I use Nova so it makes no difference. I haven't found any other limitation due to staying on this version yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
+1

I'm back on 4.1.2 CM10 after testing out 4.4 CM11 for the past 24h's, just couldn't take it anymore!

Never really liked/used Google now so don't really care for the whole "Google experience" launcher gimmick, nova fits my needs perfectly, I can even swipe up on the home screen to launch Google search (-now).

LOL

I do agree CM11 has greatly improved 4.4 ROMs, but I've not been a fan of many of the 4.2+ features like quick toggle tiles or the lock screen widget/shortcut's.

Will give it another shot after tablet and full screen modes are added to 4.4 ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FRiC_xda:
After a whole year of trying all combinations of 4.2 and 4.3, I finally went back to CM-10.0.0. One thing that I really miss from the older versions of CM (or maybe Google apps, not sure?) is that even if I use non-English language names in my contacts, I can type in English to search for those names, and the dialer will figure things out for me. Somewhere in 4.3, this behavior changed and I have to manually change my language first to search in that language, and sometimes it's difficult to remember which language I saved my contacts in.

Anyway, even though I miss some features in the newer ROM's, I much prefer the speed of 4.1.2.

I'm on slim bean, so i had leankernel as default. Actually, i flashed both 4.1.2 and mpokang's kernel on the same day apart from a couple of hours, so i haven't been enough time on 4.1.2 leankernel to compare them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Guys its really time to move forward the official cm11 build as of 8th December is fantastic.

Previously KitKat ROMs had weird lags with webview (affects apps such as AOSP browser, gmail, parts of instagram, etc)

However, recent cm11 (or android 4.4.1) builds have that fixed :)

Running it with mpokang 1080p (TURN OFF dynamic Fsync if you value your data) with ART and it feels similar to the days of 4.1.2 :silly:

I have not faced any RAM leaks as of 10+ hour uptime :good:

Something 4.2 and 4.3 would have a hard time accomplishing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
You can try SlimKAT latest one running w/o any reboots (since 4 days ) or glitches (screenshot bug only for now) with an ASKP Forza / MpoKang and you'll like 4.4, feels very refined & clean UX :good: !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
Smoothness may be fixed on 4.4 ROMs...

But it would still be considered a down grade for me, at least until 4.4 adds back tablet/extended desktop modes.

So I'll have to stick with 4.1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dereaper:
unless they fix the tether issue when connecting to and Xbox 360 slim I never see a reason to ever upgrade from 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAquanox:
4.4.2 ---> Horribly Choppy performance.

They have also changed the internal rumble (vibration) is feels so cheap now (Just like the GS3)

WTF!
