Hey guys
I just got my Nexus yesturday and previously I had the Galaxy S2 and I was expecting the Nexus to be AT LEAST as smooth but its far from it. I only changed the kernel on my previous phone and its a lot smoother when scrolling web pages Facebook twitter etc... than the Nexus.
Has anyone noticed his? Everybody keeps saying how smooth and fluid it is but even the launcher I find lags in its transitions.
Is my phone the problem or what? Tonight I'm going to install a kernel a maybe a diffrent rom to see if it improves but so far I'm really not impressed.
Normal or not?
Btw I'm running 4.0.1

From what I've found I think 4.0.1 is the culprit of the problem.

It is and has been talked about many times already. Thats why I posted what I did previously. Not trying to be an arse but jeez...use the search function for crying out loud. All of these "I thought the gnex should be" threads are getting old.
I tried searching and looked thru the first 3 pages didn't find anything. I wasn't sure either of what to type in for the search. I tried speed smoothness and nothing came out.

Yea u need to root and get 4.0.3 installed, smooth as butter, and by the way I'm a s2 owner also
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Well... In some cases the Nexus S is smoother.. actually it's smoother in all cases except for 1080p videos and some web browsing.
I expect it to improve with time though.
Same thing happened to the nexus s right after it was released.

is that 4.0.3 stock or do you use overclocked/tweaked kernel and custom rom?

4.0.3 stock doesn't exist. You can only get a 4.0.3 ROM for the time being.
Try swapping in the exynos processor.
That should do the trick.

So basically after reading that, this means that due to the higher resolution the GN will always have a slower not as smooth UI? Damn this definately doesnt sound good.
Ill try with a new rom and kernel tonight and if it doest help, looks like my GN will be up for sale.
I happen to like my devices with an eye candy smooth UI.

WOW, really? You are going to ditch on one of the best overall devices on the market because of a slight hitch? By all accounts 4.0.3 takes care of it anyway. No phone is flawless but this one will be supported by Google and get updates for at least 18 months. But ya, loose the phone with the best screen on the market and the latest OS... ;-) spoiled

On many apps.....the slowdowns may be attributed to ICS incompatibility. More specifically, inability to utilize the hardware acceleration the GN pocesses. Go to settings, then Dev tools and turn on Force GPU Rendering. That should help with many incompatible apps that are running poorly. At least until the app is optimized for ICS and its capabilities.

You're messing with my zen thing, man !
When I pay a cellphone 600$+, and expect the "best" Android phone out there, I want it to AT LEAST be smooth and look good. Because what's that "best screen on the market" for?! To have a peak of all that eye candy. Now, part of eye candy for me is the smoothness of the UI.
Now that it doesn't bother you guys, that's fine, but it does bother me!
I'm not even talking about the cheap built quality, no Gorilla Glass, poor battery life etc...
I was expecting a lot more coming from Google and especially for the amount of money they want for cellphones nowadays.

Even after we told you the problem and how to fix it, you're still complaining.
Here's what you do (hopefully you read this part):
1. Return the Gnex
2. Use the $600 to buy yourself a white and a black 4S
3. ???

Let me start by saying that I believe we have some of the best developers working on our device. These guys work tireless nights to my sure we have the best ROM for our phones. My question do you guys feel we have enough developers developing for our phone? If not what can we do as a community to attract more developers especially the developers that work on the AOSP Roms. Even though touch wiz is great it does have it limitations. I heard that google wallet is working on some of the cyanogenmod builds. The Galaxy S3 a pethera of developers. Just saying. :angel:
To get more Devs you need a more popular phone. The Note II size isn't for everyone. The SIII has been promoted like crazy and is still pushed hard by Samsung and carriers.
I don't see hardly any advertisement for the GNII. This plus the price tag being around the $300 range doesn't put it at the top of most people lists. Hopefully more will be coming on board soon.

I suspect what we need is to teach rise of us who have the phone how to develop for it. I know I have tried but without help I am not getting very far. I suspect we have a larger number of users here who are capable and interested in doing this than other phones.

Most of my friends want the phone but are currently in between upgrades. Some of my friends wasted there upgrade on the epic touch 4g and now have to wait 2 years to upgrade. I was think creating a funded to help a proven developer to get a Galaxy Note 2 preferable a developer who ported the cyanogenmod to the Galaxy S3. That phone is very similar to our phone so it be a matter of time before the developer figures it out and ports it to our phones. What do you guys think? The problem with our phone it is so new. So we are still in the infancy stages of development.

It's a fantastic phone and people I know love it. But they also tend to buy the GSIII over the Note. The GSIII has been around longer and holiday sales will make even more fly off the shelves.
I'm just saying that not as many people have the Sprint device, that's why the development isn't jumping like crazy. Typically the most popular phones are Flagship phones. Sprints advertising of this phone has been non existent. I've never even seen it shown on their home pages before, that's all I'm saying.

You don't watch much TV then. I see the Lebron James Note 2 ad ALL the time. I see it more than all the S3 ads combined these days.
Granted, it's not a Sprint ad, but is is a Note 2 ad. Plus it was a pretty good idea to use him, since his hands make the Note 2 look small

I like this idea. I would love to develop for it but I would need help getting started. I just have one little problem and that is there isn't much I wish to change. I don't have any desire for extra battery nor do I wish to make the phone faster. Sure I modded a few things but this is by far the best device I have had out of the box.
No disrespect to the great developers we have on this site but this is one of the few phones that I actually don't need any development for. It's perfect right out the box, if you're a touchwiz person.
Won't the S-Pen only work on Tw architecture? Why would you put an AOSP ROM on it?

I was thinking the same thing. Don't get me wrong, JellyBomb is an awesome rom but coming from nothing but HTC phones, I'm used to very active development with lots of variety. My girl buys nothing but Galaxy phones and I've always rooted and flashed roms to her phones and I've always seen the Galaxy forums jumpin. The only thing I can think of that this phone has working against it, is its size....it's obviously not for everyone. It's unfortunate because the size grows on you and spec-wise, this phone has unbelievable potential. It's still a baby though...Lets see what happens
I was trying to advise to many people to but the galaxy note 2 international version. Always the international version of a phone has more development but nooooo....everyone called me crazy lol and now they will official release 4.1.2 for xmas I am happy with my choice
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app......If I helped you please press the thanks button
On past "similar" devices flashing other roms was as simple as flashing a kernel/modem/build prop package for ones device
Has anyone looked into this?

^^ We could still get the ports if there were more devs around for this phone willing to put the time & effort in. The phones are pretty much the same across the board. All the international themes work on our phones. It's still too early *twiddles thumbs*

I have an AOSP rom and Spen works fine
For those wanting to learn, here is a great place to start with a ton of links: http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=322
And honestly as someone (slowly) working on my own rom, this community so far has been, let's call it uninspiring. People bad mouth roms all over the place because it's themed.
If you like stock, then why did you flash it? Is Not a secret that is themed.
And the users over here from what I have seen have been very demanding and don't appreciate much. People aren't using the search function and ask stuff that had been answered. Nobody knows everything, but it helps a lot if you read the threads and do a Google search before asking questions.
End rant. This phone will get more devs, just give it time. Or if you want someone specific, donate to help them get the phone.

Me and Apoph have teamed up to bring you Lean AOKP. It is the complete AOKP experience, except further debloated, faster, and smaller. You get all the same features with a smaller, faster ROM. It will be updated with the lastest version of AOKP, compiled at the very least weekly, but most likely more than that :}
We would like to give big credits to AOKP Team, Snuzzo, and New . They are basically this project, everything do is greatly appreciated and we love their work. Please say thanks to them for this ROM. It is their work that made this. Feel free to stop by their site and donate, or just simply say thanks and browse around. They're a great bunch of people.

+1. I'd like some more information or a website or something. What all has been done? This is just a "debloated" AOKP?
Debloated AOKP sounds rad and TBH I think a lot of people would be fine with just that, but the improved data speeds claim seems sketchy.

http://mygalaxywonder.blogspot.com/2012/06/increase-internet-speed-in-any-android.html
Let me start off by saying this. Anyone who has been following my merged builds knows I have never ever claimed to be a developer. I even straight out said that in the aokp nightly thread. We do the best we can as we learn. As we learn we will get to do more things. This is a learning experience. These are pretty much builds that I use for myself and I decided to share. We appreciate all the hard work that is done behind closed doors from AOKP. They do some amazing things with code. We try to improve on the build by getting rid of some of the apks and doing init.d and build.prop tweaks. I would eventually like to add aroma to this so that people can choose what they want installed and what they want to leave out. So do NOT be mistaken about what we do. I have never let anyone believe I was a developer. EVER.

Yeah that may be best. They definitely don't improve signal (really only radios can and that's negligible) and only may improve speed. Don't want to taint the op with false claims.

when i was using it i got 4g in a spot where i originally only got 1 bar of 3g. that may have been other circumstances, but your a dev (like apoph said i in no way claim to be a dev) so you know more than i do lol. i took it down from OP, but kept in the build.prop cause hey what the hll, it cant hurt lol
I just want to point out that how many tweaks have people claimed were placebo? Linaro, entropy mod, build.prop tweaks. There hasnt been one mod out there (except maybe zeppelinrox's mod) that someone hasnt claimed its placebo. So in the long run of things Im not to worried about it. If I leave the tweak in there maybe I will put supposed to increase signal.

Hello. This is my first post.
I'd like to make a Real Racing 3 discussion thread here as there doesn't seem to be one for the Galaxy Nexus yet.
Very fun game if you can get past the freemium annoyances .
However one thing I've noticed is that my game doesn't look too nice. It seems it only runs on low settings. You can't change settings through the game but can do it manually.
See the first post on this page of the linked thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158231&page=7
The problem is, the Galaxy Nexus (Stock at 1.2GHZ) only runs on the lowest setting.
Do you think we will ever get performance updates because I'm not familiar with what would have to be done to get my CPU even higher with SetCPU without flashing a rom or messing with the kernel.
Anyway, good game.
Discuss if you wish.
Even if you overclocked your GPU and CPU you wouldn't get better graphics. I think EA is really underestimating the power of Galaxy Nexus, so i'm hoping someone will find a way to emprove graphics. Especially the missing shadows are making the game looking worse than the predecessor.
The graph is shameful. I do not believe that EA did such a horrible thing for the Galaxy Nexus. This are screenshots of the game running on my Gnex 4.2.2 Stock. Just awful!
I hope someone will make those graphics settings like they made for NFS:MW

bwood,
I had the same issue, the game started to load (the light blue firemonkey screen) and at the end of the loading, before any menu screen appears, the screen would go black and the phone would freeze ("remove the battery" freeze).
I just tried modding the graphic settings according to the link in the first post and the problem so far seem solved. I played many games in Low settings with no problems, just switched to Med settings and so far so good.
As I dont know what settings are choosen for the GNExus, I replaced all the four files with the one I want (I created a Backup of all four before that).
I am using AOKP JB MR1 build 4 (4.2.2) and Franco Kernel 366.
Hope it helps.

I had the same issue, the game started to load (the light blue firemonkey screen) and at the end of the loading, before any menu screen appears, the screen would go black and the phone would freeze ("remove the battery" freeze).
I just tried modding the graphic settings according to the link in the first post and the problem so far seem solved. I played many games in Low settings with no problems, just switched to Med settings and so far so good.
As I dont know what settings are choosen for the GNExus, I replaced all the four files with the one I want (I created a Backup of all four before that).
I am using AOKP JB MR1 build 4 (4.2.2) and Franco Kernel 366.
Hope it helps.

It's pretty ridiculous that this is the case. Races on Medium Settings can be way too choppy for my tastes, especially when there's like 16 cars on the track, so I run at low.
This game really needs to optimized for the hardware, a lot of people still use the Galaxy Nexus and its still a very powerful phone. I've seen a friends with the iPhone 4 and 4s run the game with lesser or around the same hardware and their game looks much better. Kind of a shame :/
I loved RR2 and was very excited for this game but this freemium crap and CRAPPY visuals are getting on my nerves. Btw, same case here, if I go above medium settings, the game fails to start and at medium, the framerate sucks. iPhone 5 has the same series GPU as Nexus so I thought this time it'd look good but
Also, I don't know if you guys know, there is a way to get past the freemium crap and get like 999$ in your account by using a cheap trick. I am not sure if I am allowed to post that here?

The iphone4 and 5 GPU is much more powerful than the galaxy nexus. The iPhone also has a smaller resolution to render.
Have you guys tried over clocking the GPU?

It would be too much to ask for you to upload your DATA game? I am very eager to play RR3, I'm not getting expected the next update of the game. It would be very nice of you to help friends in need
I still think need for speed most wanted is way better than real racing 3.

Most Twiz ROMs are already up to MA7, and are either testing or waiting for another firmware update before putting more effort in.
Believe me. LJC to MA7 may seem minor... But Samsung completely changed where and how thing on the ui end worked in a substantial pita way... and the thought of having to re invent the wheel yet again is not a pleasant one.

It's mostly cuz of the 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 android core changes, and preparing TW for it's update. It'll make the OTA from the current TW to the new TW more reliable with less issues.

i know the asop roms are updated nightly.. i meant theme wise concept wise etc seems like sprint phones dont have as many options as some of the other carriers or could just be the note 2 .. s3 had tons and most of the evo's i had

makes sense and i can imagine how hard it is dont think i could ever make my own
I think you might see alot of different ROMs for other devices, due to the number of devices the manufacturer makes. Like when I had an Evo and Evo3D. Devs were porting any new update, or new features from other multiple HTC devices.
The thing is, we have a device that is King of the Hill for now. Made by a manufacturer,that doesn't make a ton of different devices for every carrier. HTC and other manufacturers are starting to follow suit. Making one or two big devices across all carriers. Instead of numerous different models on all different carriers.

I don't know about others but I've been on whomp rom and it's so stable, fast, and energy efficient and just about every feature/mod I need. Variety is great but if there's a rom that does everything I need and is super stable I see no need to change..

My thoughts were it could be that sprints LTE network isn't going as smooth as predicted. And with if tmobile meets their LTE target and has 200 cities covered by the end of year. I know I was looking into making a switch. When I had the epic 4G. A popular dev on that side left. Because his service sucked so much. I don't know if its a factor for every dev. I'm sure each has made that decision for what works best in there area. But I can't imagine a slow network attracting the most devs.
Yeah but seeing some of the other numbers from the other three that 400kbps on lte. Looks like sprint will be in trouble.

Basically the same here. Using Whomp along with Morphology (thanks to Mack for the port) there isn't much else a rom could do for me until KLP comes out. At this point (and I'm NOT trying to take away from anyone's current work) most *new* roms are just re-skins of the same work that we already have access to.
Ummm I may be a little partial an didn't wanna say anything cuz I'm doing some of the work. . But since nobody mentioned us.. the labrats rom is getting fairly themed. Half dozen color options or so.. more added daily or weekly. .
The guys leave it stock tweaked so its not themed from the start.
Just my half a cent

I think that it all depends on what your looking for. If you want the best of both worlds as far as customization, functionality and performance I would suggest MacksROM. As of lately its been the rom of choice for me.

The Android 4.4 KitKat announcement sure caught a few… million people off guard early last month, which is why there’s little Google can do to shock the world anymore. Or is there? Well, how about if I told you there’s a good shot LG’s Optimus G will be one of the first ever smartphones to be officially bumped to Android 4.4? Would that be shocking enough?
Android-KitKat-4.4
Maybe not shocking, but definitely unexpected. For a handful of reasons. One, the G is nearing its first birthday, being by all intents and purposes an “aging” handheld. Two, the 4.7-incher is still stuck on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, so one would assume a 4.2 or 4.3 upgrade would be in the cards before a 4.4 makeover.
And three, does anyone even know the Optimus G exists? Not that it has aged very badly, but it’s, you know, almost archaic compared with current high-enders. It sports a 4.7-inch 720p display, 8 MP rear-facing camera in one of two configurations, plus a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU that’s no longer the proudest stallion in Qualcomm’s stable.
Not to mention it’s been followed by not one, but two top-notch LG devices, the Optimus G Pro and G2, the second of which is highly praised by a number of reviewers and simple tech-savvy individuals alike.
But let’s back up for a second. What makes us think the Optimus G will get an Android 4.4 bump in the first place? An alleged private Facebook conversation between an everyday LG user, I presume, and the guy (or gal) in charge of the company’s official French account.
The exchange is pretty straightforward, with LG Electronics France very confidently claiming the Android 4.4 update is planned for “this October”, so there you go, case closed, congrats you lucky Optimus G owners.
Sorry to be a party pooper, but not so fast, because I’m not buying it. For one thing, this is a private FB conversation (emphasis on “private”), meaning it could have very easily been doctored since there’s no real, palpable proof it ever happened.
And even if it happened (jeez, I’m starting to sound like a character on the show “Newsroom”), social media people have been known to mess up dates, names and timeframes. What if they were actually talking about a 4.2 or 4.3 upgrade and misinterpreted the question?
Then again (now I’m just grasping at straws), it’s not sooo far-fetched to think LG will get a front-row seat at the 4.4 rollout party. After all, they are making the Nexus 5, they’ve also helped build the N4, so maybe they’ve asked Big G for a bit of preferential treatment for a change. Could that be the case, what do you guys think?

Sweet... Can't wait....
Hoping for slow motion to be cooked in..
Well if I were the optimistic type about these things then I would say awesome, but I don't know. Is lg part of the Android open handset alliance (or whatever they call it) that guarantees updates for 18 months after a phone comes out? Even if they are anyone remember the Motorola fiasco? Motorola says they'll upgrade a bunch of handsets then after those handsets are sold they backed out, making a lot of people very angry. Idk I would take this with a grain of salt

yeah no joke aside from partition differences and screen shape/size i thought all the internals were the exact same?

oh 4.4 aosp will more than likely be done fairly quickly, the big shift was gb to ics and it lefty a lot of devices behind. with cm9+ the code changes have been easier to adapt and make it so that we can enjoy 4.3 without any hiccups
While I am always open to upgrade/updates I am always looking to see what kind of changes are brought. If there is no new features / performance improvements then I couldn't care one way or another.
Now if you releasing an upgrade / update to fix bugs and security issues then by all means I am all for it.
Guess my point being I'm not going to get to excited about it till I see cause to do so.
Just saying...

I'm sure with Sprint, We won't get an update till around December.
I just read a report that the "minimum system requirements" have been lowered in order to support older phones, so that's a good sign. Also, from the leaks that I've seen, this is way more than just a minor improvement like 4.2 and 4.3 was.
Also, even if we get 4.4, I'll wait for an AOSP rom. I just can't imagine getting the full kit Kat experience with a skin on top of it.
