It's possible, however I cant say for sure since I'm running Catacl. It'd be better if you keep an eye on the CM threat (i dont even know if they have an official one for android 4.3 lol).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
You can only get unofficial CM10.2 like jellybro ect at moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Eron:
Same for me!! Before I couldn't get GPS for 2-5 minutes now it is way faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Still having out of memory issues. 1-3 days and I have only 50mb of RAM or less available. Then apps that should be always running go into constant restarting mode. The "running" apps list doesn't show anything useful. Only fix is a reboot of the phone. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
Or using Greenify app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] philosopher09:
I don't understand this. I have ~300 MB of RAM free. What Apps or services do you have running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Here are screenshots after a reboot and after a day or so. There are no apps really to greenify. Also I did uninstall Facebook. It still occurs just a little slower.

I actually have less apps running after a day but way higher RAM usage.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
The other half of my running apps after a reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Uninstall apps who run services all the time. If you need them all, it's time for a 2 GB RAM device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Seraz007:
^^^That

Or try Greenify
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Can you post a shot of your running apps? Or someone else who is not having my issues. Also note how long since a phone reboot.

Thanks.

great battery life and lag fixed..hope to see more ROMS ASAP :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

54 hours since reboot

But I don't like any crap to run in background that's why I uninstall quickly if an app doesn't behave.

The only thing i noticed except the battery life after 4.3 was the swipe, the trail suddenly became super smooth(had cm10.1 b4 that and the trail was kinda laggy)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inihccor:
The first time I've seen no differences between 4.2.2 and 4.3.

But the everyday use is simply awesome! Google made a good job, is better than stable cm10.1!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turbo_negro:
like most of you my 4.3 experience has been pleasantly smooth and fast so far! only downside is i seem to be getting less batt life - cant even reach 3hrs of on screen time. anyone else having this issue? ive already greenified most if not all of the suspect apps to no avail...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King p1n:
Yeah 4.3's cool, was using it before I moved to a rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodyy:
did anyone try to compare PA 4.3 vs 4.3 stock in terms of speed? cuz i waited for PA 4.3 didnt flash stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marnett2005:
Anyone else having issues where they drop data for awhile? My 3G or 4G will cut out for no reason, and stay that way for some time. I've tried Muzzy and Shiny, neither rom seems to work any better. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodyy:
no problems here, on what radio are you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marnett2005:
FK01/FK02
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodyy:
i think thats the latest version for verizon gnex, i am on gsm gnex with xxlj1 radio ... idk what to say :P , did you try stock 4.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marnett2005:
There isn't a stock build yet. For the VZW Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodyy:
i noticed there is another thread with 2 guys haveing the same problem idk if they are on vzw gnex. maybe when vzw ota comes for you guys will have a new radio. I dont know much about vzw gnex srry i couldnt help. Btw did you do a clean flash from 4.2.2 to 4.3? maybe it will help who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:
Which 4.3 ROM is stable at the moment and customized as much as possible? I heard Cataclysm is nice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebogy:
You should try supernova, it's pretty neat and smooth. :D:thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbrenart:
I've been using FTL (Faster than Light). It's basically stock AOSP plus a reboot menu from what I can tell. I've had really good luck with it, a few programs don't work, but I'm guessing that's 4.3 integration issues not FTL problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
Cm10.2 is working nicely. At least jelly bro. Most of the cyanogenmod customizations are there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DomieMic65:
I while on rooted 4.2.2, used tapatalk 4 beta and Facebook & msnger app and had very big issues with lag and memory usage even I was using greenify.

After uninstalling tapatalk, then msnger, then fbook and then even greenify, leaving the phone to do it's job by itself things got a lot better.

Now on non-rooted 4.3 I even installed Facebook back again to see how it will perform.

Generally I consider 4.3 to be a significant improvement!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
I had to uninstall all apps like Facebook, auto brightness apps, light flow. Seems the bare android OS uses so much that with an app like Chrome open it only takes a "sync" from Google to occur for me to hit bad lag and warm reboots.

Tapatalk works great as it only "opens" briefly during a notification from GCM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pietro1028:
Well said. 4.3 really made my phone faster than before. No more system lag and seems I have more ram available on my phone. Also switching between apps is faster than 4.2. Well done google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Its even better after a day or two once fstrim is finished running.

Chrome is a ram hog. Use the stock android browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shazb0t:
I want to give jelly bro 4.3 a shot, but all the complaints about getting stuck on the boot screen is deterring me.

And people u have to try Slim Bean 4.3

It is rocking :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miqz:
Yep..slim bean 4.3 really smooth..

and also have many mods like 4.2.2 version..

Even on alpha build i can't find any bugs on slim 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Yeah, I had major sudden Android OS usages also until I uninstalled Light Flow. I guess this will get fixed in coming release which will utilize the new notification API.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DomieMic65:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oynoy:
I installed Paranoid Android's most recent 4.3 rom yesterday and it's great. I definitely feel that the swiping around on the home screens and launching certain apps (Google Voice) is faster. Sliding around on the lock screens also feels more responsive. I haven't had it long enough to test battery life, but it seems better so far. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itslels:
I have been running the 4.3 builds of PA for a few days now with golden kernel. Its defiantly much smoother in swiping and scrolling in menus. Everything just seems a touch more responsive really. And with golden kernel the battery life seems a good improvement over 4.2.2

toro, toro!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samagon:
Yes, I've been experiencing this as well, completely stock, not even rooted.

Sometimes it comes back on its own, sometimes I have to go airplane mode, or even reboot.

I'm on tmo network.

If it keeps up, I'm going to try and get tmo to give me a new sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I'm on stock 4.3 and am having two problems. First the voice dialer has reverted back to where it doesn't understand names any longer using bluetooth. Secondly, I can't run chrome or chrome beta very long before my device gets wonky and I must reboot or clean cash. Chrome actually messes up my wifi to where the wifi will hang up and not pass data. It also eventually loses the function of the chrome back key. Firefox seems to work without issues on 4.3 but I far prefer chrome when it works. Anyone else seeing these issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] furious78:
Wow! So this is happening on a maguro stock build, too? I figured this was just a step-child toro/VZW issue. Interesting... Well baldwinguy77 has been trying to resolve this in Shiny. I hope someone gets to the bottom of it soon.

Although we don't get OGL-ES-3.0 but yes, the update includes TRIM and definitely made it more memory efficient when compared to previous versions. Given up my custom roms features just for this speed improvement! Battery wise... well, not really that great. But i had achieved better results by flashing Fancy Kernel. My device now deep sleeps like a baby :good::D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yekxmerr:
Is there a way to force the update ? I haven't got it yet.

Just flash it on your own through TWRP or CWM :)

Cm10.2 is pretty stable right now so you don't have it give up features to enjoy 4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [P][O][I][N][T]:
I flashed SuperNova 4.0.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290812) just a couple of days ago and my Nexus seems to be another one! Great experience! I this version is not still present Google Now but with a few time spent you can flash it after the rom... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etMind:
Flashed the factory image for my device yesterday and although the stock was pretty snappy, I just couldn't do without the customization options and duly flashed Cataclysm. The ROM retains the look of the stock while the included kernel features support for Trickster MOD and PGM, both of which I cannot do without.

Been an hour with this ROM and I am quite satisfied. Am eagerly waiting to see how things improve on what is already a very good ROM based on 4.3!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlan96:
Pretty much the same as 4.2.2 for me, battery life is not better, browsing web pages is still juddery and even swiping in between apps in juddery, I checked my available RAM left is around 100mb-90mb with the most RAM consuming is the Settings..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vadonald:
Same here, running Stock 4.3, I did a factory reset to see if there was any issues there, it didn't help.

In the end I had to uninstall Chrome Beta as it is now unusable on this device. I've even had the situation where an app has crashed / been removed and the keyboard is left on screen, very weird.

Its a pity as in general, 4.3 seems faster (smoother) than before, and I would say battery life is better.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
After more trial and error, went back to chrome, not chrome beta, and it's doing much better, especially with bluetooth turned off. 4.3 definitely has issues again with bluetooth messing up wifi. I still occasionally lose the back button but with blue tooth off but its doing much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
I also switched off beta Chrome and found improvements with RAM consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Not surprised. The longer I used it the wonkier it became . For some reason worse with 4.3. May be the bluetooth issue. I need to retest it after learning about the bluetooth problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] octco:
I love my galaxy nexus, very good phone, and now comes with 4.3!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [P][O][I][N][T]:
Yes! Me too, it's reborn!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedsolve:
I totally agree but have any of you been getting a notification that it tells you that the phone cant send your message(what ever that means) My Gnex is really pissing me off with that cause it constantly comes up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [P][O][I][N][T]:
Not same here. It works perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itslels:
I switched off chrome all together and notice considerably better battery life and less ram consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Ram is definitely an issue. My galaxy nexus is finally starting to choke. Ram stays maxed and apps are constantly getting rolled out. I hope my next phone has 3 gig.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewk7750:
2gb's of rams all you need, and besides they can't put 3 gigs in a smartphone yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
The LG G2 has 3 gig. It all depends on how much you load up your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewk7750:
I thought it only had 2, where'd you hear that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Actually the G2 may only have 2 gig. I thought I read 3 gig somewhere but maybe not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
One gig was all we needed when the GN came out, but that didn't last long. I'd like to get at least 2 years out of the device before it starts getting frustrating to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
If we had a full 1GB I think we'd be fine like the Nexus 7. Losing 300MB to graphics (?) is the pain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roryrjb:
I am very pleased with Android 4.3, specifically CyanogenMod 10.2, though I was running stock just before, as everyone knows the performance isn't amazing compared to other devices but for the GNex it is an improvement (prior to 4.3 I was running 4.1.2 for the performance at the cost of some features) but now I am happy to stick as I am. My upgrade date is December and I think that would be the right time anyway for an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vansderp:
Well, CM 10.2 don't have the features I'm interested in, like HALO. PA's build is not really fast and snappy yet and some of the features I want can't be found on PA. Oh well, Carbon is up with 4.3 nightlies already... so problem solved!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Android OS sucks at RAM management, the iOS does the job very well even the iPhone 4 is capable of running iOS7 with a mere 500MB RAM & the iPhone 5 has 1GB RAM and runs all the high end games at just 1.3Ghz and 1G ram whereas the N4 & S4 has 2GB RAM and runs from 1.4GHz to 1.7GHz and still they suck at Real Racing 3 Tessellation performance. The ARM has to be blamed for this issue though the Qualcomm has hybrid SoC's as Apple but the A6+iOS combo works well [ smoother in gaming ] rather than an AOSP based 4.3 + Snapdragon / Exynos perf.

At the time of our Nexus Prime's release it was the first phone to have buttonless control plus the 720p SAMOLED display backing with 1GB RAM making it the better option int he Android phones but the current scenario of our phone is very bad no proper development being in an nexus lineup as the SoC gets outdated. I think it's time to get a new nexus this year Q4.

Google needs to optimize the Os, let's see what secrets does the v5 Key Lime Pie hold.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hardstyle86:
I think the smoothness have improved, but I need some extra time to test it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
My GN is better on 4.3 but after a complete wipe they always run like a new phone. Agree with hardystyle86 it will take some time to tell for certain. Nova launcher still lags horribly at times trying to load the home screen. I'm assuming that it's being rolled back into memory. This phone just feels like it needs a lot more memory to handle my growth in apps. Memory is hardly ever below 80% used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Android and iOS have different ways to handle app states. That's why iOS isn't true multitasking OS. Each way has its positives and weaknesses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Hmm, yeah the freezing the API's isn't the true multitasking but i think the iOS7 had it changed. Anyways android is Open-source that makes it special but the fragmentation problem still persists with Android OS :rolleyes: .

Still 4.3 needs more polish :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kurogana.inc:
Some apps that are essencial for your device in order to keep it flying. (Root of course)

Lagfix - trimm

Greenify - Force hibernation off apps that insists in stay open consuming RAM, like facebook, maps, and etc.. (saves a lot of ram)

App cache cleaner - Is to android something that CCleaner is to windows
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orangecream:
Agree with OP, since flashing 4.3, my gnx feels much snappier. Even with lots of mods enabled, which I previously used to shy away from because they tend to bog down the device.

sorry I can't agree with this, as I just upgraded to 4.3 rom and I can't help but notice that battery life sucks badly and I have tried everything to fix - I can understand how you may be impressed with performance but after 9 days of using 4.3 on my GNEX I had to to go onto cm10.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garuhhh:
What services are you using? I had to turn off Google Now to fix my main battery issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tshelby73:
I'm seeing about the same battery life as 4.2.2. After some time 4.3 starts to lag and have to reboot. I'm happy that Bluetooth is working better and initial performance after reboot is faster. I might try greenify on some apps and see how that goes. I'm running shiny stock rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garuhhh:
Yeah, I'm also experiencing the same.. I need to reboot still a few times per week to keep phone running ok. If not, then even the launcher gets killed due to low memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inihccor:
I've used wakelock detector and I've seen that some apps (Facebook, messenger, camera 360 and gtasks) where causing too much wakelocks.

Yes I agree with the others. You need to greenify Facebook as it is a memory hog and trouble some app.

I'm running supernova v5 ROM with lean kernel v8.0.1 along with greenify. Highly recommend it.

Super smooth, lagfree, great battery life, lots of customizations including halo. What more can I ask for from this old phone? :)

Believe me before 4.3, my phone was so laggy it was unusable and I've tried tons of ROM kernel combos.

Hi, ive accidently wiped my efs files through root explorer, now my phone has no imei or serial number, im in factory mode as well.

I do have a backup of my efs in tar format which I done through efs pro, but when im trying to restore it in efs pro its not locating the file?

Ive tried numerous things to rectify this, ive flashed the tar file in odin that didnt work.

I honestly dont know what to do???

I hope someone can please help me fix this as I have no phone

Thanks very much
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armazia:
Try unpacking the tar.gz, copy the the efs map to the root with the original name ofcourse(With Root Explorer AND WITH READ WRITE PERMISSION!), then reboot. I've had the same situation as you do, this was the only fix for me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza_84:
Thanks for reply, I got efs pro to work in the end but my phone is still ****ed it has no imei or serial number? Ive been looking for a solution all day.

Its also still in factory mode it says h/w not active and rf cal date unknown.

I also tried what u said and it says theres not enough space in the folder when I copy it? Its an efs.img file? And its 20mb in size. I swear if I get this sorted im never rooting my phone again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
You might need to repartition the phone using a PIT file if you completely removed the folder (and not just the contents).

Reinstall your stock rom using a PIT file in ODIN and after the restoration is done try to restore your EFS again. It should work now!

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza_84:
I tried what u said but that didn't work, my imei is still 400000? Im not sure if I fixed my serial number though cos it was 0000000 , I changed it in root explorer and it stuck! it hasnt changed back to 000000 so now I think I just need to change my imei back but how do I do that if obviously it seems like my efs backup is corrupt as well?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tahns:
I'm having almost the exact same problem as OP. 2 questions. When you say "copy the efs map" what do you mean by that? All the contents of my unpacked efs .tar.gz backup file? Also, what do you mean by "with the original name"? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
After restoring the rom with a pit file, did you try restoring the EFS using EFSPro? You should be able to do it just using the restore option in that app, although you should be rooted to be able to restore it.

And what do you mean by "put it back using root explorer?"

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza_84:
Yeah after flashin a stock rom with pit file I used efs pro to restore the backup but that didnt work, I can only assume that the back up is corrupt as well? Basically I deleted everything in my efs folder so that I wiped my imei and serial number, my imei is 4000000 and serial number is 0000000, so what I done was change my serial number in root explorer from 0000000 to my actual serial number which is behind my battery, ive rebooted and flashed another stock rom since then and it hasnt changed, but my imei is still ending with 400000.

So if my backup is corrupt? I have no idea what my options are? Ive had nothing but a headache the last 2 days trying to fix it.

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
Did you root after restoring the backup? And did you also enable USB debugging? As I recall, EFSPro requires those to work optimally. And one last thing: did you use the latest version?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza_84:
I rooted before I restored on efs pro, also what do mean by using latest version? If u mean stock rom? I used DMC3-BTU, thats the only one I had on my computer at the time, I flashed that with a pit file dated 2/11/2012?? Then I rooted and tried to restore the phone but it didnt work? I then thought as the firmware was old I would put a DF1 modem on it but that still didnt work either? Am I doing something wrong? Im going out my mind trying to sort this out!

Thanks alot
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza_84:
Oh also I restored on old version of efs pro I think it was version 1.93 or summink, as that is the only version that will locate the backup file in the drop down menu?? I just tried the version in the link u gave me but still same? It recognises my phone but when I use the restore drop down bit it is blank? I try to refresh but still blank?? I think it might have something to do with the restore file not being in tar.gz format? I somehow unzipped it and now its just a tar file? I dont know how to rezip the file? Any ideas please would be great.

Thanks
