YOU ARE POINTING HIM TO A NEXUS 4 ROM! :banghead:

Sent from Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G @ CM11
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memaro_maro:
all roms give the fastest and good performance.. its all depend on you.

so far after 1 week experiments.

i use gnex + extended battery + slimkat 4.4.1 + A.S.K.P kernel + odexed + run perfomance scripts + tweak build prop = superb. already 4 hour screen on... with over 50% balance battery..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoj2:
I have just flashed Gummy's 4.4 rom just trying it out from BelieveRom. I was looking for something faster with some of the new features and this had most of them. Real smooth so far with steady battery use on stock kernel. Will try some other kernels to see if it will add the butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] merid14:
I'm running swordrune10's cm11 its pretty good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsummitt:
Care to lay out all the tweaked build prop, performance scripts? How big is this extended battery? Is it the one from Verizon that Samsung made or is it one of those big 3,000+ sized ones that makes the phone super thick? seeing 4 hours of screen on time and only half battery used seems too good to be true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
thanks guys!

I will try a few roms here and give you the feedback later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
The performance were only good on 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memaro_maro:
im use the super big extended battery.. 4000 mah.. its big but worth it. :(

i dont like to use power bank as alternative.

im using pure performance™ scripts.. but carefull in scripting, it may cause overwrite the existing build.prop.

additional of using performance control. apk> download from fdroid repo. its seem to be easy to use for tweaking ram performance. especially for noob likes me.

sorry for my bad english..

Thats pretty nice. It seems way big for me though. I'm not a make the phones a slim as you can kind of person, but i do like a happy medium.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus_man:
Vanir is pretty smooth and fast. Battery isn't greatest but performance kicks ass on my toro. 4.4 flies but still has black boxes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Yes, Vanir is very smooth. But the most important is to install custom kernel. For now the best are ASKP and Mpokang SuperRAM. If you install one of these kernels, i think every ROM will be smooth.

I suggest to try MetalOmni - very fast 4.4 ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
ITS ALL YOUR OPINION. FLASH AND FIND OUT. These threads arent even allowed. And on top of that: how would you feel if you had put alot of effort into making a ROM and people dont like it because its "slow". Just try and find out seriously. Youre maybe the 100th with this thread. This will probably be closed in a couple of days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
well, then I will have to flash all the roms there are to see for myself which one is the best in terms of speed. considering that there are at least 5 different roms just for 4.4 and for 4.3 (and previous) there are much more roms... I would need to flash about 20 roms (or more) and test them at least a day or two to see which ones are better... By my calculations, I will need at least 1 month. Considering that android isn't my life, I have many other things more important to do, I will spend more than a month doing that testing thing...

So, do you really think I can test them all for myself? Shouldn't I ask here for names of the best roms in terms of speed that many members have tested? This way I will only test the 3/4 most mentioned, not the all 20. I know that the developers do a lot of work in their roms, but there are ones better than others for many things, I don't think the developer of rom X would mind if I prefer the rom Y from other developer because it is faster. Maybe the rom X has more options and other things, but lacks in speed, so the developer of rom X isn't interested in making a rom for speed, it isn't inferior to the other rom, just different.

If this thread is locked, even finding it unfair and kind of stupid, I don't really care. I already got a few opinions and I'm testing some roms here. Thanks a lot for the ones who helped me and aswered this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
You want the fastest and super smooth? OmniMetal (ROM come with Mpokang kernel). You will be happy and let me know how it works out..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antypas:
Gummy AOSP 4.4 ROM with Mpokang kernel SuperRam!

The fastest of all. Mpokang kernel is miles ahead of other kernels. Most RAM and fastest performer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fakeandroid:
Well, you got me curious.

I am currently testing SlimKat ROM and it looks fast enough for me.

Unfortunaly, it's still on beta (4.4 KitKat), so you might expect a few bugs.

Still, it's a good ROM, in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
OmniMetal - Tested and it is the top one in terms of speed. Only has lag if you have many apps open

Gummy AOSP 4.4 ROM - Tested and is good for speed but (for me) lags in the fast notifications a little bit, the one above doesn't lag at all.

Right now I'm with Playfulgod rom and Mpokang kernel and the speed comparison is about the same for all the roms.

Concluding - Mpokang Kelnel is the reason of roms getting fast. eheh
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserAr:
Today I noticed that if I slide my finger from the left side of the screen to the right side, a weird grey rectangle appears for 1 second. I first saw it on incoming call while trying to slide my finger to answer. I didn't install anything new and I'm running the xperia z1 stock rom.

What is this?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
It's a grey bar ;), I would suggest backing up your phone and repairing it with pc companion, I have never seen that before, it almost looks like the grey bar that appears when you scroll all the way to the left in the apps menu.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yborros:
hi,

i've noticed the same issue in my phone!!

did the backup and repair with pc companion solve the problem?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
For sure is an Software failure and I never saw this before too so you can make also a Factory Reset or Repair the phone with PCC. In one case or another should be gone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yborros:
Thanks for your response.

I try with a task killer app and when i kill all of them it disapear and after a while its coming back.

How can i identifie who is the bad app?

I don't want a factory reset because my phone is without root so i can't perform a good backup.

To repair with PCC will not erase my data?

[I came from galaxy S1and S2 all the rooting operation and rom installation were far easy than here, and without bugs(like the camera in the z1)]
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
This is tricky because if it's some app on your phone probably you can uninstall that app or update that app to avoid this issue. So in this case even if you make factory reset or repair with PCC you can still have the problem. I don't know how patient you are but the best way is to find first the app which cause the issue and then we can see what we can do. With task killer you kill the apps which you selected before, when the phone go in deep sleep he kills, so probably you should switch off the task killer and stop the apps one by one and see if anything change on your screen. Stop one app and go to see the screen, and again. All like that.

I don't really like the new calendar widget in 4.2.2; I much prefer the old transparent widget from 4.1. Does anyone know if there is a transparent calendar widget that will work on the stock 4.2.2 Rom? Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
I use a free widget called "Today Settings". I has two widgets; a monthly calendar, and an agenda widget. It's not totally transparent, probably 50+%. Nice widget.
[HTC Droid DNA] riot1031:
I can't find it! Do you have a link? Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
It's actually called "Today-Calendar Widgets" made by Jack Underwood.

[Omni Features Development] BattleCat:
I don't know if this is possible or practical (or even a welcomed suggestion), but I've not known a tablet or phone regardless of ROM or OS to change the volume buttons in relation to screen orientation..

It bugs me in nearly 2014 that 'up' and 'down' in portrait is universally accepted but when you switch to landscape or portrait (the 'wrong' way up) the volume buttons are opposite to what you desire.

Just a drunken suggestion, but how awesome would it be if you pushed the volume button to the corresponding direction, i.e. left - vol down, right - vol up for landscape or up - vol up, down - vol down for either portrait or landscape regardless of how you hold your device. Or have an option in settings if you don't like the "logical" way

Nobody does this!

Just a suggestion.. Really appreciate your work guys! :fingers-crossed:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zobabe:
Hey everyone,

As you can probably tell by the title, I am currently in a bootloop with TWRP. The story is as follows: I had the stock rom on, with a custom recovery. I noticed that there was an OTA update, HOWEVER, I knew that we should not install that OTA update because it would mess up our phones. So I come back to my phone to find out that it is in TWRP, so I go to reboot and then end up in TWRP again. I tried to backup and install new roms but that has not worked. Searching through the forums, I have learned that the OTA will install by itself without user intervention meaning that we can only delay the installation. I am assuming within the time period that my phone automatically installed the OTA and thus I am in this situation.

So I look at the FIX for this issue which is posted in the development section, I install ADB, etc. The only problem I having is that when I run adb shell, my computer can not detect my ATT G2. I noticed that you could also go into the terminal command feature of TWRP for that fix. However, when I click on terminal command, it does not bring up a command field where I can type things up. Instead it tells me to browse to a starting folder similar to a file manager.

I would appreciate any input into this matter

Thanks,

Zobabe

EDIT: THANKS to riggsAndroid in #lg-g2 I was able to fix it. I was being stupid and didnt realize you had to click "select" in the terminal command section of TWRP to enter the command.

ALL IS GOOD NOW.

Just wait some time google services are not synced properly. For me after flashing it takes some time before my google services are sync then i use them normally. If it wont work then removing and adding account might work if not then u need a factory reset.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dankoman:
Okay, the stock google bootanimation was really bugging me because the pattern does not do a full 360-degree rotation. so, i fixed it. see preview below:

old version:

my fixed version:

if you can't see the difference, you don't have OCD about little details like i do ;)

see attachments for download.

bootanimation.zip is just the boot animation file if you want to push it to your system partition manually.

google_bootanim_fixed_flashable.zip is flashable via TWRP or CWM.

enjoy!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blomberg:
Hello!

A question for you knowledgeable people.

I am traveling and has recently had all sorts of problems with my S2.

- Some are resolved, but others are recurring despite resets.

I am very dependent on the device as I use it's hotspot feature as my primary and only internet solution.

For a while I was keen on installing a custom ROM. Especially after CyanogenMod released their installer for dummies. However, I am traveling with a Macbook and Mac/OS X support is not available yet .

I'm not really in need of the latest features.

I dislike bloat wares, am tired of all the little bugs, the GPS seems to malfunction sometimes, I have 3 batteries yet the battery life is poor and the RAM memory is allocated quickly so the phone becomes slow.

I like Google's new photo app (supporting photo sphere) so I would be happy if it worked fluently. In addition, the phone restarts itself every now and then, after which the battery reports 1-10% battery life and slowly grows, even though it might be fully charged.

Now to the question:

Can an alternative ROM improve my experience? If so tips on which?

Is there alternatively anything else I can do, besides just restoring?

Perhaps something that will wipe everything followed by a complete clean install with the Stock ROM?

I do not know how optimized the recovery feature is. From experience I know however that after a couple of Windows Restores it is often in place with a clean install.

Ideas and tips are warmly appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amcgavin:
If you wish to wipe everything and keep the stock rom, you can reboot into recovery mode (Hold down volume up, home and lock button at the same time upon booting), and navigate to wipe data/factory reset.

In regards to custom roms improving experience, there are many different types to choose from, as well as many different kernels to choose to perhaps improve battery. Head over to http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2#romList and start exploring!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Rom recommendations are forbidden here due to being ridiculously subjective (I.E your experience with a rom will not be the same as mine). AMcGavin's suggestion to have a look at a rom list/head over to the development sections & read some rom threads is a good one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blomberg:
Thank you! In such a case (if I do the *wipe data/factory reset*) - Do I then need to download the stock ROM as a separate file, or is those files being kept on another partition?

I also saw a big warning message on CyanogenMod's Wiki - That some devices bricked after doing so from Stock ROM. Is that something I should be careful about?

Is this relevant to the wipe/factory reset -procedure that we are talking about?

Thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakura:
That brick happens mostly with ICS 4.0.4, but you should take care nonetheless, as the warning says install CM first without wiping anything and then go to recovery and wipe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blomberg:
But after installing CM I would have changed the bootloader from original to Clockwerk, right? Do I still have that option there?

Sorry, I'm new in this jungle. Looking at the ROM list is even more confusing in terms of making a decision. CM seems to be a bigger one so I'll give it a go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amcgavin:
Clockwork recovery can still perform a factory reset.

Keep in mind that once you install a custom rom, doing a factory reset does not reset it to a factory image, so to speak. It won't go back to stock, just the factory settings of the custom rom. To go back to stock from here would require you to reflash it back on.

I just picked one up today at best buy today to scratch the itch that I've had for a while now. Idk if many like the idea but I'll give my initial impressions.

First off pro and con

* the band it comes with. Reason being is the one I got(which surprised me since I thought it would come with the rubber one) is metal and no one could get the links out. I am the definition of a skinny person. I had to buy the tool which arrives tomorrow.

Pros

* I like the screen size and being touch. (I was debating between the pebble also) looks good enough to satisfy.

* the notifications work better than I thought. The vibration when you get a text fb or any sort of notification is nice since I rarely feel it in my pocket.

*can control the play music app through the watch so I don't have to mess with the phone wile driving

Con's

* Facebook extension if you just choose the ppl you want it to show up doesn't seam to stay logged in.

*still skeptical since I was on the fence about getting one. Maybe a few days with it I'll start to enjoy it.

If you have questions I'll try to answer them for you

Take a look at this fairly comprehensive list of A2DP compliant devices - perhaps when someone develops the car kit you need, it will show up there.
