Best kernel you've tried for 4.1.2? I'm currently on trinity
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lee82gx:
i've really tried Lean 4.7 but it had a lag on the first touch always. Trinity does not have this for whatever reason. Battery life for Lean was at 3.3% per hour average for my usage while I'm going to do another days back with Trinity and report.

Any other kernel worth trying?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zandroid:
Tiny is actively updating a kernel for 4.1.x and 4.2.x. His thread is in the VZW GNex forum, but it works on all GNex variants from what I've read. Seems to be a great kernel. I have used it off and on and about to try his latest with the fast charge patch.

Tried flashing some mods but I think I have the /o problem.

I recommend going with AOKP 4.0.4 Toro, it works greats with no issues. JellyBean does not play well on the Galaxy Nexus. Wifi tethering still doesn't work for me, even with FoxFi, it's broke. I recommend the following below:

Some of are actually blind, same as saying 30 fps and 60 fps makes no difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
ICS should theoretically have better battery life than JB because the OS does not ramp up the CPU every time it detects a touch. The battery you would save if you switch to ICS is negligible because the screen on this phone wastes the most battery.

Actually u don't hv to do this!

I used to stick to 4.1.2 but thereafter I found 4.2.2 is really more smooth & more functional than 4.1.2, like QUICK SETTINGS, NOTIFICATION DRAWER comparing with 4.1.2. Dude, u should find yr perfect ROM & be encouraged to look for it.

By the way I m using MIRAGE v2.6 and I recommend SLIM, XENON HD, uXYLON , all the latest ones.

Re-read the name of the thread. We already tried 4.2, we're going back to 4.1 to get a snappy and proper working device again.

Try flashing the latest radio
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
CNA 3.8.0 has all the notification toggles and quick settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamczyk777:
So i have to install older radio? Tell mi which please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaoskilo:
Use the latest radio always. If you're in europe that's XXLJ1, U.S is UGLL1 (I think?).

Flash whichever one of those is for your region and then your problems will be gone.

P.S Don't use titanium backup to restore apps and data from a different ROM, (Titanium stores some information related to the radio and it makes compatibility difficult)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:

Newer 4.1.2 Liquid Smooth than 2.0 RC8?

Okay, I did bite the bullet a few days ago and downgraded from LiquidSmooth 2.5 to a 4.1.2 ROM, first CM 10 Stable. But I missed some Liquid Smooth features, so I tried to find the last stable one on 4.1.2.

So far I'm running Liquid Smooth 2.0 RC8 and I'm quite happy with speed and stability, but I miss some features, also I read there was a RC9 before LS switched complete to 4.2.2? On the LS goo site there are only the latest ones (2.7/2.8).

I searched far and wide, but can't find the LS 2.0 RC9 ROM? Or was there even any higher, but still on 4.1.2?

What I miss: LED charging light and battery line indicator below/above Nav Bar. Any suggestions and ideas? I'm very trigger happy with the 'Thanks' button. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
I'm on CNA 3.8.0 it's a 4.1.2 ROM. And honestly after reverting to 4.1 I'm having second thoughts whether I still want to replace my nexus with an HTC one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Does Wi-Fi work normally on CNA for you?

Sometimes it showed me 0 bars even though my connection worked just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
I'm in the same boat. Was thinking of moving on for a while but then I saw this thread and went back to CNA 3.8.0. It's like a new phone again.

My WiFi works fine but WiFi drivers are in the kernel and I'm running the latest Tiny kernel (still being updated for 4.1.2) not on the stock CNA kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
Did anyone try this Turbo Boost Mod? They claim it also works with the Gnex and every 4.2.2 ROM.

From what I understood, the way it works, is that it uses unused space on /Cache and /System Partitions as Swap memory, to increase the overall memory, thus avoiding lag and those 4.2.2 memory leaks.

I checked, my Gnex seriously has about 360 MB free on the /Cache partition, if that could be added to the RAM, that would probably help a lot, also around 300 MB free on /Systems partition.

Did anyone try it with a newer ROM that usually lags? I'm seriously curious, but not ready to try it out yet.....still experimenting with 4.1.2 ROMs, enjoying the speed, but missing lots of features that came up in the last 7-8 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
I'm going to give it a shot. I'll do a nandroid, and then flash. I'll have to use this for a few days, as I usually reboot my phone every other day. I won't reboot for 3-4 days, and see what happens.

Edit: I'm on the latest AOKP nightly (4.2.2). I always have about 200-250 mb of ram available, since I reboot every other day, so I don't experience lag normally. If I didn't reboot the phone for longer than a few days, it would start lagging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
^

Looks like another name for Z RAM, which is built in to the ROM I'm using, paranoid android 4.1.2.

But since there's no lag, I don't need to use it.

I do have lag fix app installed, but rarely ever use it, just a back up plan if one day it does start to act up a little and I don't want to wait to reboot device.

As for the missing features there are apps for that eg:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I'm just gonna wait for 4.3. Till then 4.1.2. I don't have time to **** around with my phone to have it fully functional. I mean finding a perfect combo of rom, kernel and tweaks for a fully functioning 4.2.2 is almost as hard as finding the holy grail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
I ended up uninstalling this. For me, it seemed to make my device lag. I used the cache partition, and used 350 mb. But this is for my phone, with my rom, and my kernel (toro, 4.2.2 AOKP nightly, lean kernel 7.0). I don't plan to go back to using the turbo swap. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naossoan:
I've been contemplating going back to 4.1.2 as well because it seems like EVERY 4.2.x ROM I try is complete ****ing garbage. Right now I even have STOCK Jellybean on here with no other modifications and it's still slow as hell.

I remember back when I had 4.1.2 and it being a hell of a lot smoother and faster. It seems this is not a widespread issue though because a lot of people seem to thing 4.2.X works fine on the GNex but it has just never worked smoothly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Give 4.1.2 a shot, You'll be pleasantly surprised when your phone doesn't suck ass anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattn:
I think I'm going to bite the bullet on this and roll back as well. I was loving Vanir for a while and then sadly it just started getting crashy all over the place. I've been wondering if maybe my memory chip is actually going out since I used to be able to update apps and still use the phone ... now it's like I click update and come back after about 20 min so I don't chuck it through a wall.

Couldn't agree more.

What kernel are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dustrho:
Franco Milestone 6 is what I'm using. CPU is set to 729/230 with max screen off at 384, and to me it still runs fast without the lag that 4.2.x gives us. And, I'm using Trickster Mod over Franco's kernel app (I own both apps) because it has more kernel settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
I tried it and it was very fast, no doubt. But I always got the error 'Unfortunately system UI has stopped working', maybe 2-3 times per hour, up to the point that it was really annoying. No solution helped and I had to sit and wait always a few minutes for the system buttons to redraw.

You don't have that problem?

If you get those errors with either of those roms then something went wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tribes11:
That's it, i'm done with 4.2.2 and those custom roms.

It's simply impossible to have this phone working for more than a week without having at least 4 or 5 random reboots.. Tested around 20 different ROMs

Even with stock kernel the problems won't go away, tried a lot of custom kernels also.

Not to mention the lag and how sluggish the ROM gets after installing apps and using the phone for a day or two.

I'm going to downgrade to 4.1.2 right now, as a matter of fact i'm doing it on Toolkit RIGHT NOW and I hope it can fix my problems and STOP lagging even when nothing is running or after I rebooted.

I'm doing this before throwing my GNEX on the wall, I'm feeling so outdated now, watching so many new android devices running 4.2.2 smoothly while I have to hold this LAGGY device... I'm coming to the point that I will just sell my GNEX before I throw money away breaking it on the wall when I get angry with the SLOWDOWNS and reboots...

I just wanted a Galaxy S4 now, oh boy I did... Not because of the screen, features or the fact they're quad/octa, but because they seem to run Android just as it should, while my GNEX that was supposed to be the top of Android stability since it's maintained by google is a bullsh** LAGGING bi***...

I feel like Google do it on purpose, Android 4.2.2 marked the release of Nexus 4, so Google thought: "Let's get that Galaxy Nexus LAGGISH and SLUGGISH so people will just buy a new NEXUS 4"..

HELL NO GOOGLE, if I were to buy another phone it will be one with the ability to EXPAND the storage with a Micro SD slot..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
rofl.. abusing wont make your nexus any smoother my friend, just wait for 4.3. those 4.2.2 memory leaks have serious effects on the gnex as we all know it , but its even worse on the i9000 (the first galaxy s) which runs a single core 1 ghz processor with 512 mb ram. flash cna 3.8 rom (android 4.1.2) and you wont regret it :) its the best 4.1.2 rom till date
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tribes11:
Yep already did it, CNA 3.8.0 is so smooth.

I've even tested the Codename Sammy which 1.5.1 is a Samsung Galaxy S3'ish themed ROM based on CNA 3.8.0 and it does run so smooth, I just miss widgets on lockscreen and custom notification toggles, but one can't simply ask for everything lol...

I choose performance over features then, at least I won't get mad anymore...

Thanks, and I really hope Google fix Android for Galaxy Nexus on Key Lime Pie, if it doesn't, then the statement I made about Google intentions are very true.

Another happy 4.1.2 customer here.

Switched to Bixie's deodexed and rooted stock 4.1.2 about a week ago.

Made me fall in love with my phone again.

The lag on 4.2 was very frustrating, especially with Google Now's Voice Search and the recent apps menu.

Because of 4.1, I stopped thinking about buying a new phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elia222:
Hey mate, happy to see that we're again in the same forum section :P

I got a GNex about a week ago, now I'm running latest SlimBean and I haven't found lags yet, soon I'll try something heavier to see if 4.2.2 is really that bad.

However, looking in the N4 section, seems that 4.3 will bring some changes under the hood to improve performance :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex~:
Switched back to 4.1.2 a few weeks ago, it certainly feels like the phone I bought over a year ago.

Just wish I wasn't so stubborn for sticking with 4.2 for so long. :(

I'll say this, there was no lag (or at least, I havent noticed it) for a bit of time. Then after about a month of 4.2, every (4.2) ROM was very laggy, so I switched back to 4.1.2, where it's all silky smooth. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
There should have been 4.2.3. I don't know what Google was thinking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
Usually, the .0.1 increments are reserved for small bug fixes. There may be enough changes under the hood that warranted a .1 change in version. We will see once it's readily available for the Galaxy Nexus.

There were plenty of small bugs needing fixing in 4.2. We shouldn't have had to wait as long as we did for 4.3.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gaby4430:
I agree with the second post . When I bought my phone , I was in a yakjuxw horrible build . I have been in 4.1.1 during 6 months because of Samsung delays . Finally 4.2.1 was released and I was happy . Stable system . But Samsung delays made me crazy and as you can see in my signature , I passed to Takju Stock and finally Custom ROMs (MIUI , CM , AOKP) .

I think that Android 4.2.x is very fast. Depends of your CPU using. Try custom kernels like LeanKernel or FrancoKernel , it can be better

OMG I can't tell how good my phone is right now, it's smooth, FAST and very reliable...

Didn't had any FC on Facebook or another apps that were fc'ing on me...

Also, even rotating the screen is faster than ever before.

Smooth scrolling on browser and apps.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with 4.2.2 but definitely there is something wrong with that build.

My phone now is really good and I'm not thinking about changing it...

I guess what I've speculated about google trying to slow Galaxy Nexus phones on purpose is correct. Else, why one would want to buy a faster phone if the current with the exception of the camera upgrade is just as good as the new one?

Well, my phone now is as smooth as it should have been for a Dual Core phone with 1 GB ram...

Also I don't feel like my phone is way too much behind of the Nexus 4 right now, except for benchmarks and games.

Browsing is easy, smooth and fast as it was when I first got this phone.

I also have all the benefits of custom roms, like Changing LED colors, Quiet Hours, Flip Phone Down to Mute call, Volume Keys controlling music with screen off, battery icon changes, Kernel tunning...

The things I miss the most from 4.2.2 are:

Widgets on LockScreen

Lockscreen maximized, long press to unlock.

Notification Toggles (I've had many good ones on 4.2.2 like Fast Charge toggle)

and Navigation Ring with Long Press, THIS one I miss a lot.

Beside those items, I really don't miss 4.2.2 at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
It's not terrible if you reboot your phone every day. The first time I left my phone turned on all night though.. it was a freakin gong show. While 4.2 usually isn't terrible, 4.1.2 is just faster. There's no doubt about it now that I've switched back. Plus, Bluetooth is broken on 4.2, leaving my motoactv connectionless. So yeah, 4.2 is banished.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
I'm hopping that if enough people get back on the 4.1.2 train then maybe we'll get a rom back in active development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
No, that's a common misconception. It just was never fully tested on the GNex or something, as there's many issue reports, many people having different issues etc. For example, mine runs buttery smooth, but I have some bluetooth issues. It's probably to do with the slight variances in hardware revisions, different versions of roms people are using and the like.

I actually downgraded back to 4.04 running AOKP ICS Milestone 6 2012-07-08.

Plus Flash Runs really good now, the pause play issue doesn't happen anymore. If I want to run 4.2.2 I will do that on my Tablet.
