Hi,
I have played with my Gnex for the Past 4 months (Released Dec 8th in Canada). I have installed many mods, kernels, ROMS (Currently on AOKP MS3 and Francko Kernel MS1). I love the utilities provided by these custom apps, but I keep having stability problems from time to time and its getting a little bit disapoint.
* My Juice Def apps gets killed and settings are reset.
* I only see 50% of the pic when people call me.
* Volume is at max, but cant hear my music because of ambiant noise (to tell yuo hoe low the volume becomes)
* I Dont know how to use he Undervolting and Overvolting of the CPUS, and I dont realy care (Too technical for me)
* Whatever ROM is used, it still sucks my battery. Juice Defender is very good at doubling my battery life.
These are some reasons that I might bo back to STOCK KERNEL and ICS.
For those of you who returned to STOCK, Did you miss all the tweaks ROMS and Kernel gives you? Do you notice a different in speed?
Thanks.
Sounds like you're overall not happy with your experience.
If all of these cool tweaks are making it so you can't regularly use the phone like you like it, just return to stock. Its not worth sacrificing your enjoyment of the phone just to get some cool tweaks.
Problem is.. I dont really remember how its to run a stock phone. :S
same here..i also would like to go back to stock..

Then do it! No one's stopping you. There is no shame in returning to stock lol. Its okay.
I want back to stock for a day and changed my mind.... main reason that I don't like the stock is lack of toggles and overall smoothness. Oooo and you have no idea how often I use search icon on navbar . Also this is my main way of communicating with people. Voice actions are brill testing and calling is very easy with this. Someone will say that I can do that from search bar .... yes but 9 out of 10 times I'll miss tapping the icon ....

Did I return to stock? Well, after successfully compiling my first ROM (AOSP 4.0.3) I found out that my backups were deleted so I had to reflash some stock images from Google. I'm having enough fun playing with the phone on my own...I can be patient to see what improvements other ROMs come up with.

I am running AOKP MS3 and have been flashing the latest Franco kernel. I had the same issues as you and a full wipe and reflash solved all of those issues. Hope this helps you!

1. I use juice defender too and I NEVER saw it getting killed. The settings do reset everytime you flash something even if you don't wipe cache but that's the developer's problem no the roms/kernels. The solution is simple : just backup your settings from JD's status tab and restore it after you flash zips in recovery.
2. Well known issue with m3. there was a fix zip floating around but you should just update. m3 is not anymore stable than the newer aokp builds. b26/27 are very stable but just wait a few days and m4 will be out for sure.
3. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you saying you can't hear the music at 100% volume? Does it go away with stock kernel? then it might be franco's volume hack. Try leankernel 2.4 if you want something lean, fast, with GREAT battery life and without all the extra bells and whistles. you need to go to rootzwiki.com to dl leankernel.
4. You don't need to undervolt with gnexus and even if you do, it's completely pointless. It causes instability and the battery savings are negligible.
5. Wipe data and cache and flash leankernel 2.4 and aokp b26 (or m4 when it comes out). You'll lose all your settings but I think this combination will keep you happy for along time.
6. I used JD Ultimate for a long time and after a lot of testing on leankernel 2.4, I find it completely redundant.
I'm back to stock (stock launcher too).
It's because I've never had any real problem with stock in the first place. No battery drain, no dropped calls, no sluggish interface and everything works. Then the most important thing is I LOVE the simplicity feel that stock offers so I've decided to go back to stock.
Nothing against custom ROMs.
This is why after you root its always good to Nandroid your stock rom.
The only thing i like about stock is that i know its not going to fail me and i know i dont have to always mess around with tweaks and other things.. it just does what it was meant to do..
Custom roms seems to always have problems with different kernels or maybe the ROM is just in beta.. or a tweak is causing something else to break..
But we also have some good custom roms base off of stock with nothing too much added.. like Android Revolatuion.. No diss towards other roms tho.. just people dont want to always have to change or fix something

It all comes down to personal choices really.
To me i tried AOKP rom with Franco kernel and it really rocked. But then i went back to stock since 4.0.2 with XXKK6 gives me good battery life and its rock stable.. no issues. i do have to give up a lot of customizations but i can live with it. no problem.
The reason i don't want to install custom roms yet is that i would go crazy with flashing roms and it would be addicting so right now i just want to stay away..i would get bored after trying all new roms.. so right now STOCK.. just want to savour the beautiful Galaxy Nexus as is.
I went back to stock on Sunday. I was checking to see if wallet would work on stock but it didn't. When it booted up stock the first time I was like:
http://troll.me/images/snape-dafuq/dafuq-is-this-****.jpg
When I got my phone it was stock for about 5 minutes. AOKP FTW!
Confused. You can run ROMs with the stock kernel. IMHO, stock kernel> any custom kernel. My experience, custom kernels create different problems.
Kernel enthusiasts tend to be a little... too enthusiastic. They tend to ignore the problems and measurebate about supposed battery life or performance.
My best combination is AOKP ROM for the features and stock kernel with a couple performance tweaks in the developer settings.
Now I just go about using my phone to enhance my life rather than the other way round.
YMMV, and it is your life, of course.

I agree 100%.
I never had any issue with AOKP. But I use stock kernel. Custom kernels are for those who can live with a phone not working 100 % and alarm clock fail to ring in the morning. If you want the best of the best for the Gnex, flash AOKP, and nothing else. And don't mess with performance settings.
And btw. The only ROM that ever randomly rebooted on me, was stock ROM. How is that for a laugh?
Stop using Juice Defender. It sucks or it has some serious bugs on Nexus I don't know. Stock everything I had juice defender on and strange things were happening. Touching screen would do nothing, apps would close on their own. When I took it off everything was fine again. Juice defender was recommended to me by someone else. So oh well, seems he was luckier than me running it. Fast forward a week, I got interested in ROM's, now running AOKP with Fugumod kernel and thought hmm maybe give juice defender another shot. Within 1 day I removed it. AGAIN, apps crashing, touches not being recognized, slowness switching screens. I say Juice defender stinks or has lots of bugs. My battery life is just fine with AOKP and Fugumod. Right now my Nexus is perfection. I can quickly get in and out of apps and there is no slowness or anything. I can't see myself ever going back to stock.
I'm running stock 4.0.4 with no issues.

I'm debating going back to stock.
Came from 4.0.2 stock to AOKP 1-30 milestone + franco.
The new ROM is nice and all, but like every 15-30m I get randomly disconnected from the network and takes 15s to reconnect. It's semi-tolerable but I hate things like this.
why was music app missing from AOKP rom Milestone 3? who do you get it back?
I have had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for quite a while. I've had Stock ICS on it, as well as many different non-stock ICS and JB ROMs running on it.
I've noticed that, from time to time, the screen will become considerably less responsive than it usually is. I usually notice when trying to swipe down the Notification Window. I will have to swipe several times to get it to actually work, when it usually works every time, easily. If I swipe slower and apply more pressure, it works. Also, typing on the on-screen keyboard when this issue is occurring is a disaster. The system misses about a third of my touches, and mistypes every word practically.
If I reboot or wait a while, it goes away. I've been trying to shut down various often-used apps while it's occuring to see if I can remedy the issue, but so far I haven't found an app that might be causing the problem.
Anyone else have this issue? It's so noticeable for me that I can try to do the usual motion I do to bring down the Notification Window over 10 times before it will actually respond.
It's either something basic with Android, or my hardware has a little bug. Not sure which.
I see a few posts on the forums of other phones about this, but not on here with the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm having the exact same issues. Its also very noticeable in the keyboard as well. Sometimes in the app drawer. Its extremely obnoxious and only seems to do it on jelly bean Roms... may I ask what kernel you're running? I'm on Franco 223 384mhz gpu
hey man, i've noticed this same thing on mine running Jb (joel's bamf jelly)...i notice it when typing, though. a lot of times i just completely MISS keystrokes, and my words come out all ****ed up. i honestly was starting to think i'm crazy, but i'm glad to see others with JB are having this issue! again, if i reboot as well, it goes away. wtf?
i'm running whatever kernel joel has stock in hsi rom, which i beleive is just the stock JB kernel.
Exactly same issue here, but simply turning screen off and back on solves it. No need to reboot.

Running one of the early loads of 4.1.1 that required you to load 4.1, then overlay 4.1.1 over it to get get camera working properly. But it's stock minus being rooted/busybox loaded on it. Running the stock kernel with the JB baseband that released, btw.
Before that I was running AOKP and CM9, both of which did the same thing to me - which is what made me think it was an app that was interfering, but I haven't been able to prove that.
Search my thread called touch sensitivity, I wrote all about this. Its an annoying bug that has no fix. Lock then unlock the screen resets it and makes it return to normal. But it eventually happens again.
I also had this issue, and as someone said earlier, just switching the screen off and then back on fixes it for a while. But I recently updated my baseband to XXLF1 (yes, I'm from Europe) and switched to AndroidME CM10 Rom and the issue is gone (had been using the one from team inferno before). Don't know if it was the Rom or the radio...

Yes, that's a good point to start.
I originally thought this issue was due to a kernel malfunction, but looking at the replies here, apparently not. I don't remember it happening on ICS at all, but with jelly bean and project butter being so smooth and all, I have recently become much more attentive to the responsiveness of my screen so it's much more noticeable. I guess the best thing to do is try different Roms and see if the problem persists.
---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------
Well, as stated above, CM10 seems to eliminate this problem completely. I just flashed a CM10 ROM and man is there a difference. It is extremely smooth and battery life seems significantly better than others ROMs on jelly bean right now. I highly suggest giving it a go. I upgraded my cwm recovery to 6.0.Something too. Dunno if that's relevant, but just thought I'd say.
Are you using the euroskank one? If yes then thats what im using too and still have this problem tho not worse than others, my keyboard works properly.just that my scrolling and swiping tightens up a bit which forces you to swipe longer and more pressure than normal

I had this issue on 4.0.4 with the Linaro franco kernel and am now having it with JB and the Linaro franco kernel. I too thought it was just maybe my imagination!
Well all things were fine on 4.2.1 and then this update comes,
This is what i noticed so far,
1.Phone is EXTREMELY laggy when downloading from play store
2.Browser quick controls are bugged
3.Lots of launcher crashes
4.Alarm icon in the notification disappears while it's still active
5.Random lag spikes while navigating in de drawer or homescreen,
As far as i go, this is the laggiest jelly bean version, maybe google just got lazy, or they're working on another version of Android (fingers crossed)
EDIT: I'm not talking about custom roms and such, and i'm not willing to flash, i like stock

1. Use a custom kernel and tweak the read ahead buffer size. With sio io scheduler and 256k buffer size i made the lag minimal for me.
3+5 : use nova launcher and it will be fine
4: it works fine here, make sure you do clean installs.
As a last advice I must say to flash the factory image via fastboot. It is absolutely fine with no issues. I installed it on 2 gnex' already and no problems with lag.

Stock android is far away from perfect now. JDQ39 is nowhere near rock stable JZO54K. My friend. Scrolling lag is not the matter of clean installation. I've tested five 4.2.2 based roms, including stock all of them lags as hell after a while - it can be one or two days or couple of hours. Actually it's been the most evident of stock and it concerns scrolling between homescreens, lockscreens, recents. A lot of people have experienced it and it's been already reported to google issue tracker. I've already tested stock, cm10.1 m2, PA 3.1 0309, XenonHD 6.0 - all of them lags after a while. At the moment I am testing Purity and I haven's seen lag for two days.
Te easiest way to reproduce the bug. Please do not reboot your devices, and do not change wallpapers for about two days.
Same here, on CM10.1 Play Store is now smooth but was bad on XenonHD.

Well I don't understand where do you see the lags. Because I don't have any lags on my nexus.
The speed also depends what kernel you are using and how much free Memory you have on your nexus..
I'm using my own ROM which is based of stock Android ROM and I have actually never experienced any lags.
Yesterday I got few apps after using apple's BT mouse and when I set up multi users.. But all the lags went away when I rebooted.

How do I do this?
Not sure if this has been discussed or not I searched and found many bugs but none that meet this specific issue.. I noticed that since I updated to the 4.2.2 leak on my Toro Nexus there have been a few issues:
Audio from the pogo pin dock stopped working.
Car mode goes off and on randomly as well as the charging bolt when the phone should be charging.
Phone goes into daydream mode even when not being charged..
Turning on bluetooth randomly reboots the phone on occasion and other random bugs.
I think I'm going to flash back to the previous OTA. I'm stock unlocked, unrooted, just the way I like my Nexus (for now). In no way is this a complaint, more my observations and a last shot in the dark to see if anyone has overcome these issues in the latest leaked "OTA."
On a side note, other than the dock and power issues, everything has been smooth. No lag etc...

Ok so I realize I don't know how to do this without resetting all data. From what I've read, the only way back includes wiping all data. Am I wrong? Is there a way for me to go back without wiping? I'm not super versed in all things Android but I think I recall flashing back to a previous OTA in the past to get another OTA to work without wiping. I can't find that thread anywhere so I'm probably mistaken. Any help?
Edit: I re-read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 and determined that it can be done without wiping for folks that aren't noobs. I consider myself a noob at this point so I'm stuck with this 4.2.2 update until I find an easier way.

It's the same as flashing a rom! Use Titanium backup to backup the apps, and custom recovery to wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Format /system, /data, /cache , and downgrade with the toolkit w/o format when it ask. So for less than an hour you will downgrade, and keep music, videos and photos. So the only thing you lose is programs, but you can restore them whit titanium, and that is!

Lags what I am talking about is low fps scrolling that appears after some time of normal usage. I've never experienced it on 4.1.2 or 4.2.1. It has nothing to do with the kernel. (BTW aren't we talkin about the stock one?) Problem is still present on custom kernels and even OCed CPU. It looks rather like some sort of memory leak. Reboot or changing wallpaper is a workaround solution for this issue. So yeah if you reboot your device quite often you most probably won't see this bug.
If you want to read more about this issue visit this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178962
Except this bug I really like the 4.2.2 rom, these new features. I consider it as an improvement from 4.2.1.
I agree, 4.1.2 was polished more. 4.2.2 is better then the initial 4.2 release, but still has a way to go. We'll see what IO brings soon.

Ok.. Hmmm.....
Are you using custom kernel?
And which apps are running in background? E.g. Currents, Google+. FB...
And if you use custom kernel then make sure you use CPU governor that doesn't make Android slower or laggier..
I have actually never had any lags on my Nexus, I use 100% stock kernel, sometimes CM's kernel. I have free memory 2,10 GB of 13 GB (16GB GNex)..
Also I recommend to use some cleaner apps to delete unnecessary files..
For cleaning a bit my Nexus I use "Mobile Care" on Windows it is "ASC"
Which deletes e.g. Cache and junk files..

I am on the 4.2.2 [OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v2.2 - d2spr ROM, and although I really do love many things about it (Very efficient, non glitchy, extremely smooth and very good performance), the reception on 3G is not so good for some reason / bordering on non-functional. Wifi, I believe, is also a bit slower than my previous ROM, but not by that much. I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that is on Verizon's Page Plus service (3G only, which works fine for me as I am not a heavy net user on the road). I previously had the new JB Goodness Reborn ROM (TW) for Sprint and it worked really well. My reception on 3G was typically always 5 bars and was very responsive and fast on both 3G and wifi. On the Liquidsmooth, the 3G seems to be perpetually at 1 to 2 bars near my house (mostly 1) and 3 at most in the thick of the city (most likely right by a tower), and I do not live that far away from the city at all. A very close suburb, in fact. I have taken it in smaller towns and it is even worse. Extremely slow. It's quite slow near where I live, but extremely slow anywhere out of the city to any degree, which was not the case with JB Goodness Reborn (TW). I even switched ROMs back and forth in the more rural areas, and noticed my Reborn ROM was loading webpages just fine, while the Liquidsmooth was struggling to load a basic page.
I am running a KT747 kernel for both the liquidsmooth ROM and the Goodness Reborn ROM. I was running the included Lean kernel before on the Liquidsmooth, and noticed it was having 3G reception problems as well, so I don't think its the kernel.
And yes, I am aware that AOSP Roms often display the data reception only for the bars as compared to TW with can display both the data reception and voice reception combined in one, but I can tell the speed is ridiculously slower at times on the Liquidsmooth, whereas it is great on the JB Goodness Reborn. Takes forever for a page to load. On top of that, in the middle of the city, the GPS loses data connection, whereas with the Reborn Rom, the connection is rock solid and never fails.. Voice typing / search is also non-functional on the Liquidsmooth, which I do understand is just on a new build, so this does not bother me as much. It would be nice if it would work, but I do understand. I do really like the Liquidsmooth ROM, and its quite a bit better on my battery, but the slowness of the 3G often forces me revert back to the JB Goodness Reborn (especially when I have to use GPS). I have tried to use Hidden Menu apk to check out the 3G settings, but I do not believe it works on this ROM. If anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions, I would be most appreciative. And yes, I would post this to the Official forum, but it is locked and that prevents me from posting any feedback or receiving any possible solutions directly. Thank you for any suggestions in advance.
The Voice works if you update the Google now app. As a slow connection, I would just switch back to your other ROM.

That's good to know about the voice with Google now. I just know when I hit voice on the keyboard, it shuts down. Have you noticed your reception / connection speed decrease precipitously with Liquidsmooth 4.2.2 as well? I have read a few posts about how to increase data speeds and tried a few of their possible suggestions with no luck. It's a pity the thread is locked for Liquidsmooth. I am sure I am not the only person having this issue.
Out of curiosity, I have seem many designations besides the one for Sprint phones.. Like RC9, RC 2.2, a deviant ROM. Would one of these work better on the connection issues? Also, I assume I am using the right ROM, as my phone is Sprint...? But I am running on a verizon network, but that never seemed to be an issue with the other JB Goodness Reborn ROM, which was made for Sprint S3.
DO NOT FLASH ROMS THAT ARE NOT SPRINT. You could reallllly mess up your phone!!! I would recommend trying out aokp. It's really good. Link?

A link would be great. Thanks. I was considering other Roms as well like the Paranoid ROM or super nexus ROM. Both are jb 4.2.2 compared to my previous ROM that was 4.12 and mb1 Goodness reborn. I have never tried an AOKP ROM. I have been mostly looking for performance and sound. are AOKP Roms compatible with ac!d audio or other such apps for sound? What would you characterize as the difference between AOSP and AOKP? Thanks.
Not a whole lot. Both clean Google roms, I will link the aokp rom in the next post.

I made a thread recently about me having worse signal on AOSP roms vs TW roms, now although that isn't your issue specifically, I got a few posts on that thread on how to increase data speeds
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237516
One method involves messing with your build.prop, and the other involves another system file, both are dangerous so make sure you read my thread entirely on words of caution, and then go ahead and see if you feel comfortable tweaking your system files.
While that's handy, I think he just wants a simple solution. Aokp is a lot like smooth. Anyways, dreamer, you can message me anytime if you need more help.

I have actually tried some build.prop tweaks, but they did not work for me either. I read your post.. did you actually find something that worked? The last entry I read stated that all their suggestions still did not help your connection speed issues with AOSP. I am currently experimenting with DeviantXone ROM 1.5. So far it seems to be faster than the Liquidsmooth Official, but I have not taken it on the road yet and it only shows 1-2 bars as well. I may try to AOKP ROM. Do you know if Ac!d Audio is compatible with AOKP? I really do like those audio apps. Thanks.
I could build you aokp with acid if you can't get it stock.

Theres really no "simple" soltuion, especially when it comes to increasing data speeds. The "smooth" feel of the rom, or how fast it runs, is for the most part independent of data speeds.
AOSP will inherently never be as good as TW on this phone, mainly being that the S3 wasnt built to run on AOSP. Thats why you get issues like these on non-Nexus/Google phones because of the simple fact that you can only approach 100% functionality since you are building for an unsupported device

I might hit you up on that if the versions I have of acid audio are not functional on the aokp link you provided. Sent you a pm with a link of the best sounding versions I have found so far.

An interesting observation... How, in your opinion will an AOKP ROM compare to a TW ROM? Any suggestions of very fast,well performing TW ROMs? I do want to try AOKP and do have a very good TW MB1 ROM, but I am interested in finding the most functional, best performing ROM with this device.. Of course, based on how i use it, as i understand one person's favorite ROM will not be a favorite for someone else who uses it in a different way. Although, it may seem like heresy to some, i am more interested in speed, functionality, and audio quality, as compared to battery efficiency.

So you're more interested in features than battery life if I understand correctly? And I personally have never run AOKP on any of my devices, just never really grabbed my attention
For the best and "fastest" TW rom, i would recommend grabbing either TPR or MOAR (because theyre the most used custom stock roms, so have already been modified for performance), then stripping down everything you dont need. As in apps, widgets, themes, skins, etc. All of that. Flashing CrossBreeder and using Greenify effectively can also help keep the device from lagging, there are also build.prop edits to increase audio quality, and things like Ac!d, BeatsAudio, XLoud to improve it too
Just look around for interesting mods and flash em' (making sure that they are either for all android devices or for the Sprint S3 specifically, no international S3 mods unless you want a brick), because this way you'll tailor the rom to your liking and your usage, then just make a backup and you can go flash anything else to test run and maybe check out the features in other roms as well
Hello Everyone,
This is only to share what I found after weeks of searching (after posting a question a kind gentleman referred me to it) that works with both the Canadian variant of the t0lte T889V and the T-Mobile version itself (t0lte: haven't tried it since I don't own the phone however it's stated in the posts that it works).
After trying it for a few weeks now it's very smooth, has a control environment that modifies OC, UV, GPU OC, etc with one click depending on profiles, etc.

All credits due to psndna88 for creating the kernel and flash at your own risk (as in, if you flash the kernel and anything happens psndna88 and myself are not responsible.)
Make sure to chose the correct version depending on your phone.
Cheers everyone and hope this helps!

Thank you. I hadn't seen it though, and I was trying to find a kernel that would allow OC'ing with 4.4.2. I found others though and thought it may help anyone who would need it.
But thank you again!

From what I am reading, I understand that you tried this with T889V. But for sanity purposes and sake of completeness I want to ask the following:
The Agni kernel was flashed on T889V and in the last couple months you have had it, you have not noticed any glitches/issues?

Hi there,
Yes, I have flashed on my T889V a few months back, since I wanted a kernel that would allow me to OC a bit, use fast charge for USB since I don't have a wall plug always available to me etc. Over the past few months it has worked flawlessly, I haven't had any issues whatsoever. I find my phone runs much smoother that it did before, it charges way quicker and given I haven't OC'ed it to the max allowed, it never randomly reboots or anything. Given I have added a bunch of mod apps such as viper4android for sounds and others that use a lot of ressources, it works perfectly for me, I never have any lags. I don't know if there is anything specific u would like me to tell u about, if so please let me know and I will.
Cheers

Thanks for all the info. I do have a few more questions.
How is the battery life? The biggest issue I found with custom roms and stock kernel was that battery life was terrible. It would drop a percentage roughly every minute and a half the screen was on.
Which Rom are you using this kernel with?
Which recovery did you end up using? CWM, TWRP or Phillz?
Also, did you root the phone with CF-Autoroot or SuperUser?
I had issues with whatsapp when I rooted my phone (I could not download pictures, but could send them). Went back to stock as I use whatsapp a lot.
My pleasure! As for my set up, it's stock Touchwiz 4.4.2 running Agni kernel. The app it comes with allows for several customizations, both battery friendly and performance friendly, but what I use if the above stock overclocking and a little. The governor and I/O scheduler are part of settings that the creator of Agni has, which works very well for me. As for battery, it lasts pretty much all day.. I use the phone for about 3 to 4 hours of voice, read a lot with it and text/youtube/listening to podcasts/casting video etc, and it lasts all day long. I charge my phone nightly, and goes from the morning at 100% to night time (around 9pm) at about 35% - 40%. I use philz, and rooted the phone with philz after flashing the recovery through Odin; I've never used CF auto root. After rooting the phone, I installed superSU and my phone runs very very smoothly. I used (in the past) Omni on this phone, and it used to work perfectly.. I had issues with netflix and the gallery, so I stuck to it for a few months but got tired of AOSP and went back to Touchwiz.. I personally prefer it.
Hope it helps, cheers!

Thanks for that. Now I know the process I can try to get better results with a custom kernel.
Lastly, are you running your T889V on Videotron? If so, have you updated your phone with the new stock firmware (T889VVLUDNH2) from Samsung? The T889VVLUDNH2 appears to be a modem only update for T889V, but I can't be sure as I have not found any official change log by Samsung.
In any case, I was wondering if the update enabled any LTE bands (specifically LTE Band 4 - the AWS LTE Band) on the T889V. The update seems to coincide with the LTE network that Videotron launched last month (Sept 2014).
Are you getting LTE speeds on your T889V?

I have tried CM11 and Omni 4.4.4 roms and it appears that the phone loses:
1) its model number (no big deal),
2) carrier id just shows US (would be useful to have real operator for roaming),
3) and lastly, does not show the type of data network it is connected to. Just shows bars, no E, 3G etc. Also, it show LTE in network options, but not WCDMA/GSM, since the phone does not have LTE. I would like too see the network I am connected to.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The only think I can think of is that since you're no longer running TouchWIz but AOSP, the Kernel might have compatibility issues. From what I read before when I was using this phone as my daily driver, this kernel was meant for TW roms, but since CM and Omni are AOSP, I figure some things might not be compatible. If I'm not mistaken, the creator of the kernel has a version called pure AOSP rather than this version, which is pure stock.
Hope it helps!

Thanks. Is there a ROM/Kernel combination you would recommend as a daily driver for the T889v.
I would want the following:
1) Decent battery life compared to stock. On stock I lose about 2.5% an hour by just being on standby. And with use I lose about 1% every 2 mins of screen time (for example when reading news in chrome browser at lowest brightness.)
2) Is responsive. The stock rom is starting to become really laggy (despite me having uninstalled a lot of apps). I know a lot of the budget phones like the Moto G2, which have less ram be much more responsive.
3) It would be nice if it shows the type of data network I am connected to HSPA+, 3G, Edge etc
4) Lastly, would be nice if it actually displays the carrier I am connected to, instead of displaying US.
Also, would points 3 and 4 be resolved if I removed boot.img from the ROM package? I have read that somewhere, but was not an authoritative source and don't want to brick the phone. It is still my daily driver, and would like to avoid bricking it.
Well, as for past experiences, what I used to run on the phone when I was on AOSP was Omni.. I really liked the battery life, it run for about two days with regular browsing, email checking, phone using, texting, youtube video playing, etc. If you decide to flash Omni, what I would suggest would be to run the kernel that comes with it. Normally, the Rom will come with it's own kernel manager (I believe they either use PAC kernel, Linaro or a CM based kernel), but it will work fine. The only thing that drove me off of Omni was that there was an issue with Netflix, but there's a patch running around in the forums and also in the Xposed framework. As per the ROM showing either 4G or LTE of HDPA+, at the time we didn't have in LTE with the phone, but I could see HSPA+ just fine.
If I can recommend something, is to clean install whichever ROM u decide to flash, and use the minimal GAPPS. Also, when you restore your apps (if you use something like TiBu) never restore system apps, just user apps.
Let me know what you end up doing and how it works for you!
