you're back to stock?
did you just flash back? could be building caches and what not so it might be a bit laggy at first. wait a bit and see?
if not, i would probably just reflash from clean wipe.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
just to confirm here, after flashing back to stock did you go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache? If not do so it will clean your phone drive and should not lag. If you've already done that please ignore my suggestion
Some of the rom have a lag which is Stuttering scrolling.
U can overcome some of it by enable force 2d gpu in developer setting but some of it can't be solved like bookmark scrolling in Web browser.
Either u live with it until new update or trade for iphone5 or wp8.

If you have already done a full wipe and nothing really happen, try go into the developer option and turn off all the animation and also force gpu rendering. It should help.
Btw why do you need to change it back to the stock? Going for a warranty? If not just go back to you custom rom which will give you better performance

Coming from Nexus 4, even I feel the Note 2 lags a little. The bluetooth audio stutters if I its in the background and I am working maps. I juts find the phone much less responsive than my nexus 4. Is that a fair evaluation?

Thanks for that tip, will turn it off and see how it goes. Will post again in the evening. But generally, it reminds me of older gen phone, like HTC HERO i used to own. Even the Galaxy nexus was faster. I wonder why, this is a quad core and 2 GB ram.

If you turned it off then that was your problem. Noticed how the lower screen brightness is gone now. And also, I don't think the exynos/mali400 A9 SOC is as powerful as everyone makes it out to be. I think Samsung has highly optimized the hardware and software to make it compelling. Can't wait for A15 chipsets to make it to phones though.

I'm not on stock now...but have been. Not sure what your frame of reference is...but guess it wouldn't hurt to ask....
When you say "multitasking lag", do you mean:
1. You've got a lot of apps running in the background that haven't forced to close...and you're lagging going from one to the other?
2. When you hit the home button it takes a second or two to get out of an app or back to the home screen?
3. You haven't task-killed anything and when you go to another program/app that's a little more intense, you get lag?

With maybe 3-4 apps running, and me the home button my multi tasking pops up but pops up in a slightly laggy way, and swiping apps away to kill them is also laggy, multi tasking in general is laggy. Everything else in the phone is smooth though.

There were very few changes to the launcher in 4.1.2. Most dealt with orientation on larger screens (like the Nexus 7). So I don't see how it would be any less or more smooth than 4.1.1. Most likely, the user didn't do a clean install or they are just noticing small lags more because they are looking for it.

Cannot agree more. :good:
Maybe it's just a placebo effect but I think autorotation (landscape to portrait and vice versa) animation seems more fluid here than on 4.1.1 which I considered little jittery.
Thank you everyone. I am sure this jerks more than 4.1.1 in my device.. But if it works normally for everyone else then the problem has to be in my device/installation. Installation should be clean (done according installation script). One thing I'm wondering is Google Wallet. I downloaded image with wallet, but it does not seem to be enabled in my region. But neither that should cause jerking..?
You probably need to flash 4.1.2 drivers update. Check this:

ASOP roms may not have them, but should be included in stock.
Do a nandroid backup, flash and test. It is a very very small file to flash. It helped me with AOKP (AOSP).
Before flashing over 4.1.2, I flashed over a 4.1.1 and .... I think a got some additional smoothness, but .... as there is not accurate procedure to measure smoothness, could be only my sensation.

Hey. After I flash a new rom, the phone is super quick and respones very well. Buy after a few days, it starts to get laggy. When I am presaing the soft keys it takes a couple of seconds to respond, apps loading times can reach about 20 seconds, contacts loading too. I am using the GSM Gnex with CNA 3.8 rom and franco kernel r298. The lags occurred with XenonHD too. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining about the developers, I am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

Are you rebooting your phone or just leaving it on for weeks at a time?
I remember someone saying it has to do with the zram optimizations in roms and kernels. at first it makes things faster and the the idea implemented is good in theory but over time it makes things unbearably slow. i dont know the technical reasons for this, someone with more knowledge than me may be able to explain it.

Obviously downloading from the Play Store is using system resources (RAM, a % of the processor etc.) so a slow down is to be expected.
The phone restarting itself =/= to rebooting it regularly. Just like your computer you shouldn't leave it running 24/7. Sometimes you just need to give your phone a restart.
I think the lags are related to the heatcof the Gnex. Maybe the my cheap case makes it worse. I will check without case so it have more contact with the air. I will report the results.

It looks almost like a memory leak. (That was a big problem on exynos devices runing cm10). It happened to me today (latest nightly cm10), Once my free ram was less than 100 mb the phone became noticeably less responsive.

I understand that custom roms do have great features but let me tell you something, after I switched from the S3 I decided not to flash any rom, I just used the nexus toolkit to root it and of course install franco kernel, since then the experience has been amazing, I'm just very careful with the apps I install, cheers!

Yup u are right. Many people used to tell that Franco kernel is the best and stuff but even that after using for a few days gets slow whereas in stock all that crap doesn't happen. I still use Franco because games work smoother on it compared to stock. Even the battery life is inconsistent. Just try stock after weeks and Franco right after a reboot still stock will be overall faster and smoother.

How to get the butter back:
1) Download the last stable 4.1.2 rom of your choice
2) Do a factory reset with TWRP
3) Wipe the buggy 4.2.1 rom using TWRP
4) Flash 4.1.2 back in.
5) Enjoy butter while waiting for 4.2.2 or later builds which is probably coming in January due to the holidays.
Was that so hard?

Or just flash the official 4.2.1. I run stock, rooted and have no problems. I tried a few roms based of 4.2.1 and they were slow and laggy.
This reminds me of the "zero shutter lag" feature that was removed from the Gnex, or selling a 8GB device just to say it "starts at $299." It's just something fancy for them to advertise and get some hype/sales, then they remove it. This is standard procedure by now, right?
Butter is not gone, 4.2 is definitely smoother than ICS and on par with 4.1 and it seems to have much less stutter than 4.1 did
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I can confirm that 4.2.1 stock seems really fast to me.
I have to say that I'm a new GNex user, coming from a Nexus S with 4.1.2. I was using rasbeanjelly with an optimised kernel: there were obviously some lags, time to time.

Noone can tell you exactly what, but the general trend is, that the OTA caused various problems for some, so when some people don't have problems on the same SW, the problem can only be located to something stored on the data partition because of the update process compared to a full wipe.
So the answer is simple, you do a full wipe and install the factory image of 4.2(.1) directly. If this doesn't solve it, it isn't a software problem...
And yes my phone is no less fluid than it was on 4.1, Í, however, updated as descriped with a clean install.

1. No that is a general misconception, what was really the case, was a regular code error(zero-index error), making the last row in the array holding the months being skipped. You can't blame them for not spotting this small error in the very limited testing they can do in house. I for one have never used that particular feature and didn't know you could add birthdays until this was discovered. What really matters is that it was fixed within weeks.
2. How? Everything seems to be branded as play store quite fine, whether you like the name or not shouldn't matter
3. why wouldn't they promote the chrome brand and make it easier for users to sync everything between their desktop and phone?
In a direct comparison,i still think 4.1.2 is a bit more fluid overall (app drawer for example,let alone recent apps list). That together with all the other stuff going on (screen switches on,blutooth, worse battery - for me at least) led me to go back and stay to 4.1.2. Not a single problem and constant ~4h on screen time. I can easily wait for a bugfix update next year.
Topic says it all. Stock/CM/Carbon(Linaro)/DU's/pacman/codefire, it doesn't matter which one is installed, my device lags like a *****. I switched to nova launcher from apex (to see if the launcher was causing it all,) and the homescreen scrolls better, but opening apps, doing anything within apps, switching apps and anything not related to the launcher still lags like crazy. I've tried LagFix, different kernels, nothing works. I close apps using the recent apps tab, doesn't help. My GS2 performs leaps and bounds better than this phone. Am I missing something. Is there anything I can do to make this phone not suck? I really want to like the phone. I have the Sprint version.

Try to go back to stock using fastboot and Factory image.

I'll try that.
Running some side by side comparison's with my GS2 and GN using system panel, the GS2 always has over 200MB ram available, and the GN has 80 or less. I tried to make sure the same apps were opened (active) on each phone.
That sounds like a factory reset including format system is needed.

You're running 4.3 right? If not, I suggest you to do it. Flash factory image via fastboot like said above

I haven't tried 4.3 yet. Was waiting for most of the issue's to be worked out. Haven't looked into it in a week or two.
Phone is running much better now. Thanks a lot!
What did you do to see the improvement?

He probably was on 4.2.x, which, in recent memory, has been the worst release.

Factory reset to stock through fastboot. Stock ran a whole lot better after that. Now I'm running a 4.3 ROM.

I was on 4.2.2. I never read any complaints about lag, or about it being a bad version...anywhere. Would have got off of it sooner if that were the case.
I upgraded to 4.3 with a factory reset. Not any lag issues at all. 4.3 actually seemed to have made android run more efficiently on my Gnex.

Read about TRIM implementation @4.3. thats the main improvement over 4.2.2 IMO

The whole lot of us whined about it on xda, g+, twitter etc
Funny thing is i full wiped and flashed back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2 and the phone was still lagging. Didn't think it was possible but 4.3 really fixed this phone for me. was battling the lag for over a year. Lagfix trim, filling all the free space and deleting all the files, tried everything that was recommended and nothing helped. Thank you google for finally releasing 4.3
the only lag from 4.3 comes from when I use google navigation. It gets bogged down pretty bad. I think that has to do with the undeniable fact that 1gb of ram is not going to cut it anymore with today's memory consumption from modern apps.
4.3 has brought a host of new problems for me. Lagging and force closes plus a lot of app problems. Enough so that I'm shopping for a new phone which sucks because I love the Gnex.
4.2.1
Android 4.2.1 was the last OTA that android released to my GNex. I put the Warped ROM on, and it was a lagfest, especially when I had all 10gb of my music on it. I had to wipe and reset to 4.2.1 before I could even put on another ROM without it freezing during startup.
Have you see if you have the lastest radio image flash in your bootloader?

It seems to me like one of the big bottlenecks in the Galaxy Nexus's performance is the abysmal I/O performance.
If anything whatsoever pings the storage, it seems to stall the device. I've had the phone lock up entirely requiring a battery pull by doing enough read/write, something I can't do to older and newer phones I own. Just the Galaxy Nexus.
TRIM in 4.3 helps mitigate it, but I think the fact is something is seriously awful in the Galaxy Nexus I/O stack, presumably on the hardware level, since this is the only device I own that has this issue.
My 4.3 install was acting up (data issues... :\) so I went back to stock 4.2.1 with golden kernel. Phone is running pretty smooth. Seems like the fastboot factory reset did the trick so far. Funny thing about it, I just now realized I flashed the 4.3 kernel. Phone is running really well, so uhh, whatever haha.
