Cache?

I am not too sure if this would work but try these steps however this will only work if you phone is rooted (ONLY UP TILL STEP 5, AFTER STEP 5 ROOT WILL BE NEEDED):

1) Pull of the back cover of the phone and then plug it into the computer via a usb cable

2) Hold down the power button for 15 seconds, in some lucky chances the phone may turn on if not continue to step 3

3) Pull out the battery but keep the usb plugged in DO NOT UNPLUG

4) Now hold down the power button for a further 15 seconds, in some lucky chances the phone may turn on if not continue to step 5

5) After this unplug the phone from the usb, reinsert the battery IF YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED attempt to turn it on but holding the volume UP button and the power button then navigate to the recovery section from here clear your cache then attempt to turn your phone on. IF YOU PHONE IS NOT ROOTED you can only try and turn it on the normal way (by holding down the power button).

Hope this works for you.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
Hi!

I got my Nexus 4 three days ago.

My Usage Specs -

I use my N4 mainly for internet ( WiFi, sometimes 2G ) and a little bit of gaming. I make occasional calls and text rarely.

I don't use WhatsApp or Facebook.

I'm using STOCK ROM+Kernel.

I'm getting around 10-12 hours of battery life, with 4-5 hours of screen-on time.

Now, I want to be able to over/under clock & volt my CPU+GPU. This is to increase battery life and increase performance, as required.

It looks like too much choice is very confusing. So, I'd like some experienced suggestions and recommendations.

So, which _ should I use? ( And, I've already narrowed down the choices a bit )

Kernel - Faux, Motley, Franco

ROM - AOSP(Stock), CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, Xylon

Also, should I use Battery, CPU, RAM managers? If so, which ones?

What are some cool, useful N4 specific apps?

Any other tweaks and tips? - You can link to other xda threads, if available.

I will be unlocking and rooting tomorrow, once I decide which kernel+ROM to use.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Ram and battery managers are not necessary. You have 2GB of ram. Battery saver apps do not work. besides you said you're getting 4-5 hours of screen time. That's great!

Download greenify. It's a great app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
OP, "best ROM/kernel" questions are not allowed here. You will have to experiment and see.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
That's cleared up some of my doubt. Thanks!

I'll try out greenify, too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
Hi,

I understand that you are trying to prevent flame-wars and the like, however, I'm not looking for 'the best kernel/ROM'.

I want to know which combinations and configs other people have used, and I'd like some experienced suggestions.

I'm finding it confusing to differentiate between the variety of kernels and roms available, so I wanted some recommendations - preferably, with reasons.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonc0526:
I use Paranoid Android with its stock kernel. For me, no other rom can compare to Pa on the nexus 4! Not even cyanogen mod is as fluid, stable, and efficient. With my current setup I get around 16 hours battery life (5:30 am-11ish pm), with ~5 hours screen on time. I don't use any task killers or memory managers. I just make sure to force close all my apps when I'm done with them, and I reboot the phone every 24 hours to keep it at its maximum performance. Although my usage is slightly different. I use my phone mainly to browse the Web, text and occasionally snap some pictures and check instagram. Hopefully this helps you out a bit
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
One okialot

Thanks! This is exactly the sort of information I was hoping for.

I think I'll try out PA today.

Also, Have you tried other kernels?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Trinity and Franco kernel works great with PA. And so does semaphore. I use Franco kernel mainly because I get more screen time than any other kernel I've used. Franco kernel delivers a balance between smoothness and great battery life.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
Okay, and you use PA too?

Also, how does the kernel affect smoothness? Shouldn't the performance be the same as long as you don't change clock speeds? Or is it due to the new governors that the kernel uses?

Also, what about motley kernel? The thread is very spartan, and I can't glean much info about it.

Has anyone tried Xylon? - it looks efficient.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonc0526:
I've tried the Franco kernel before but I find the stock PA one to be perfect as far as colors go. I've never had an issue with smoothness using it and I don't even worry about clock speed or governors. As far as xylon goes, I found it to be very washed out using the stock kernel that comes with the rom, again in terms of display. When I ran xylon for a few days, I ran into a few hiccups in performance that weren't acknowledged, even when running with different kernels. I've also tried AOKP, Cyanogen, and axiom, but I always return back to paranoid
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
Okay, thanks. I'll experiment a bit, and see how it goes.

I've used PA before, on a HTC One V. It looks great, IMO too,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu4204:
Try the matrix kernal
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
HI!

So I have experimented and tested most of the major kernels and ROMs.

AND..... My selection/combo for now is:

kernel - Franco Milestone 2

ROM - Carbon 1.7

I tried Paranoid Android, but I didn't really like their interface adjustments.

And, just CyanogenMod is boring, IMO. Xylon, too.

Carbon has great customisation, and the specific adjustments that I like.

Thanks for the help!

Others - feel free to continue post your suggestions and recommendations for kernel+ROM combos.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
Why not Franco R140? It's stable and a lot has changed since M2 :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
Oh, I wasn't really sure whether it was stable, so I went with the milestone release.

Also, What are prime drivers?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
Drivers with code from Code Aurora. They *may* fix stuff like slow WiFi speeds and delayed notifications. I personally use them but if you don't experience any problem with WiFi then I suggest flashing the normal ones. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Try Matr1x kernel, gave me the best results when I tried through different ones.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
I think I'll use the normal ones.

My internet speed is 4 Mbps and I don't use my WiFi to transfer files at all.

At the moment I'm getting the speeds I can technically get. So those won't help me, I guess.

Also, I've been running R140 without any problems for the last day.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvindch:
Really? Maybe I will.

How is battery life and performance compared to franco kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
They're pretty much the same really. But Matr1x does wonders in benchmarks. I would love to use it however I need those Prima Drivers badly :S
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpqpqp:
I've used pa with its stock kernel and getting pretty good result with it. I've also tried Franco and faux kernel, but performance and battery seem to have a negligible amount of difference. The problem with these kernel is that they have their own app on the store where you have to pay to get customize the room behavior to your own taste otherwise the kernels feels like stock or even worst.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
How much screen-time and battery-time are you getting ATM? ( with prima drivers )

And, how are the prima drivers helping you so much??

I'm asking because on Franco, (granted this is a single sample), this first day, I'm getting around 2.25 hours of screen-time. :(

On stock, I got 4 hours (twice)

Note - ~5 day old phone

I would use PA, but I don't like the interface...

Yeah, the fact that I have to buy an app sucks.

Luckily, the Performance control option in Carbon ROM is doing the trick for now, so I don't have any reason to buy the app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
I get 5 hours SOT. Download Wakelock Detector then post a screenshot.

I use the Prima Drivers Cuz I have WiFi problems. Don't use them if you don't have problems with WiFi ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No, I'm not using +PrimaDrivers; only regular franco kernel.

I've updated to R142, so I'll see how that goes. I've installed WakelockDetector, and I'll have a screenshot for you in a day.

Hopefully, I'll get better SOT this time around.

NOTE:

From R142 Changelog - http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/4.2.2/appfiles/nightly-changelog

Looks like Franco has added Code Aurora to the original kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Battery life has improved again. I got 5:30 hours. I think 6 can be managed, if I decrease WiFi usage.

Here are the WLD screens. I've also added Battery ( Settings ), for more info.

I used my phone for mainly web browsing today, and around 7 minutes of gaming.

I'm running franco kernel R142, with the Carbon 1.7 ROM.

I bought the franco kernel app. So, I tweaked my settings+config quite a bit:

Also, I'm running between 594-1168 GHz ( Underclock ). I use the Interactive Governor, and ROW scheduler - with default settings.

I've enabled custom hotplugging limits - My phone usually runs off 1-2 cores. Gaming takes 3-4. - Though this seems like defaults to me.

And, I've undervolted too - an offset of -125 mV throughout. ( I have a fast CPU bin, and I've StressTest-ed and RealLife-tested. )

I feel like, even a -150mV might be possible

Note - I'm not using a SIM/Mobile Network at the moment, so I've kept the phone in Airplane Mode, but with WiFi on.

Also, I'm using Greenify, but it's not doing much. I manually exit apps anyway, and none of the apps I'm using ATM require hibernation IMO.

Right now, it's hibernating Google Maps, Amazon Appstore, Any.do, and Pocket.

What do you think? Good enough, or improvable?

Also, even with the UnderClock and UnderVolt - I haven't managed to make my N4 lag. I was using 1.6 GB of RAM at one point, too.

The N4 is a multi-tasking beast. XD

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
This is good already, a lot of people will drool over that SOT ;) . I suggest leaving the minimum frequency at 384Mhz (Unless you're bothered by the slight lag when it's ramping up). I can game for 3 hours with my Nexus 4 if I clock the GPU at 200MHz XD.

Everything's good though, enjoy your Nexus 4! :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hmmmm, good to know. :)

I'll turn it down - My phone is at 594 MHz most of the time anyway - I think it might run fine at 384 MHz, too.

I haven't touched GPU clocks at all. I'll try 300 MHz. How does it affect graphics in NFS MW and MC4? Does it go lower, without lag?

I love my Nexus 4! XD
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
It will lag with those demanding games. But at stock it plays them fluidly :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF101-Wizard:
Best Results i have seen!

I have gotten the best results for my nexus 4 with huge battery life i got 3 Day 2 Hours and 17 Minutes on battery before it was at 1% and that's with 5 Hours and 24 Minutes of screen on time! here is what i used for that

Nexus 5 Experience Rom Non CAF

But any non CAF 4.4.2 Rom would work

Matrix Kernel v12.5 For Android 4.4.2

With my clock settings set at 192Mhz Minmum and 1512Mhz Max

The only other thing that i install but im not sure if that would make a difference was a LTE enabler cause im in a Canadian region with band 4 LTE and This:

PurePerformances X Zeno Edition

^ I mainly use this since it drops my memory usage at idle a ton!

Test that out and see if that works for you hope this helps you out and if you like it make sure to say thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Aeternus Eternus:
Hey,

I've got a short question here... Any launcher I have tried, e.g Nova Launcher, Action Launcher, Apex etc... have this problem

When I pull the notification drawer up and down, or slide it slowly, I notice a slight lag or choppiness which I don't find at all the the stock "Home" launcher.

I'm a bit tired with the standard icons for Optimus UI and want to try a launcher, but there seems to be none without this problem.

Especially at the home screen, it lags
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
That's odd as the status bar is part of system ui and not controlled by the launcher. Did you do a reset on your upgrade to JB? If not do it

Sent from my rooted P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Aeternus Eternus:
I did go to the recovery and do a factory reset. But the problem is only with custom launchers.

I upgraded to JB, did my usualy thing and kept using Nova launcher. After I noticed the lag, I did a factory reset, but it didn't help.

I believe it has something to do with the wallpaper/homescreen, as I am in apps or something, the notification drawer does not lag.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vidit_panchal:
+1

I knw d fact tht it's no where related n thus status bar shouldn't b affected in anyway bt still d problem persists. :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
Try enabling "force GPU rendering"

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Aeternus Eternus:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] shadowcore:
I can confirm this. In V20a I had lag with the notification drawer with Nova launcher. It was not severe but It was noticeable.

Also in Cyanogenmod the bar lags, but only when you draw it in home screen. In app is fine

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] M4io:
First of all you would get a error code 101, a country error code.

If you get past that. All your gprs/mms settings wil be set for O2, your startup screen and today screen will change to O2.

your OS will be 1.72 and your radio will be 1.17. and you'll get those apps that o2 has put in this update.

I would recommend to take another 1.72 / 1.17 update with your existing extended ROM or an extended rom from Orange. Extract the extended rom from this O2 update and use whatever CAB you want to make your own extended rom.

For manipulating extended rom do a search here, also check for ER2003EDIT.

Go into settings and then "about phone" and then read what phone model you have.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] evolwun:
I was having an issue with my alarm in CM10. Many times the alarm app would hang/lock up/fail when the alarm would go off. This was very inconvenient as I use my phone as my alarm. I started messing with stuff and found that as long as cLock was not running, the alarm worked fine. I used Titanium Backup to rip cLock off my phone and have not had a problem since.

I am fine with this fix as I don't use the cLock widget, but I am wondering if there is a bug here. I would have put this in the Dev forum, but I can't post there yet.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Actually THIS is the correct place to post these questions/comments.

Your issues might be related to lpa.decode=true, a bug which I haven't published very well. Even after taking the above steps, it might be worth editing your build.prop to to change lpa.decode to false:

lpa.decode=false
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] evolwun:
Thanks, I will give it a try. I have never made a change like this before, where/how do I do that?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] altayh:
Here's a guide to editing your build.prop. Basically you're just opening the /system/build.prop file in a text editor to make the desired change. The lpa.decode line is towards the bottom. You can use the built-in File Manager and Editor unless you prefer ES File Explorer.

EDIT: I'd recommend making a copy of your build.prop file before you edit it. Something went wrong the first time I edited it and only about 80% of the file was written. WiFi stopped working for me the next time I rebooted the phone (it was perpetually "turning on") until I noticed the problem and fixed my build.prop.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] evolwun:
So far, this seems to have done the trick. I will watch it for a few more days and report back on success/fail.

Hi!

I need some help because I already tried all ways, and I'm not able to solve this problem.

I installed a new SD card in my Desire with 16 gb (class 10). I did the instalation of a CM10 custom Rom, like I had in the previous card (2 Gb). Everything was installed with no problems, including the a2sd (I made a partition of 1gb sd-ext with cyanogenmod recovery).

Well, the apps are beeing installed, and the internal memory isn't increasing, so the a2sd is running good, but the phone is allways freezing and rebooting. When it reboots, it freezes on reboot. I have to pull the battery out. This is happening all the time... I already tried several CM10 roms, and I have the same problem.

Can I have some help?

Repartition your sd-card by using the guide in my sig.
[Desire General] ivopinto:
I forgot to say that I already tried your method. Partition Sdcard with 4ext recovery. The only thing that I didn't try was use another app to sd script, because I was not able to delete the a2sd script that comes with the Rom. I did install mounts2sd, but it says that another script was in use.
