How to make my gnex faster? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know the gnex is over a year old so it will be hard to keep up with new SOCs from S3, nexus 4....but I want to mod it so that it can keep up with the new SOCs. I am willing to give up battery life for speed. I am thinking over clock and custom ROM but I need recommendation on which one will provide what I needs. I want faster page load when browsing (I used dolphin browser), faster apps load like xda, Engadget...
What should I do?

ditch dolphin browser for one, that browser is nothing but lag.
If you want faster browser, i recommand opera mini, fastest browser ive ever used, although i personally will just stick with chrome, its not the the fastest, but it definitly is the most convenient for me due to bookmark/recent sync.
as for rom, i personally recommand cm10.1 + ak kernel, its working extremely well for me the phone is very responsive, good batery life even.

Flash a Rom that uses the Linaro tool chain and get Seeder from the market.

Tape a cheetah to its back

Thanks. I will do more research on the suggested ROMs.
For browser, I really like the features that dolphin offer (speed dial, tabs like chrome desktop, sidebar bookmarks...). I may stick with dolphin for now despite it's FC very often
No one like over clocking now a day?

Liquidsmooth is a fast stable rom. Cant go wrong with ak kernel. Setting your governor to performance will also increase the speed and responsiveness of your device

ATOM is fast!
It's probably impossible that anyone has tried all the various ROMS that are available on the XDA Galaxy Nexus forums :laugh:, but I have tried quite a few.
For me the one ROM that sticks out as being 'super fluid, fast and smooth' has to be ATOM by PrimeDirective.
I was testing other JB421 ROMS since it wasn't updated for a while, but not that it has been recently updated to JB421 its once again back on my GNEX. I find it smooth enough not to warrant OCing it. I also stick with the stock kernel, but I guess if you want it to go faster you could go with some other kernel.
I have linked to the maguro version, but if you are on another version then find it in the other forums.

The phone is fast enough as is. Linaro is placebo and Seeder doesn't even help performance either so ditch that recommendation.
Custom kernel will be your best bet and stay stock odexed rooted if all you care for is performance and not customization.

If it was fast enough there wouldn't be a need for new FASTER CPU's.
Even if linaro was a placebo it would still make the device faster in the users mind which turns the placebo into reality

Completely wrong on both counts.
There will always be faster CPU's because there will always be new devices. It has nothing to do with "need" and everything to do with marketing. Even if less than 15% of the CPU was being taxed there'd be a new one with only 13% taxed just in time for next years models.
There is no "turns placebo into reality". The very definition of Placebo is:
Something of no intrinsic remedial value that is used to appease or reassure another.

True and I like being able to say my device can (somewhat) keep up with them
If your taking a placebo drug to make you eat less and you eat less because of it then placebo turned reality
Not trying to go back and forth with you just my opinion

Thanks to you zedomax! I am running just his kernel, without a custom ROM on top, and I love this thing. It is rock stable at 1.6GHz.
Correct me if I am wrong, but this sure looks like, at least for now, I am the highest score on AnTuTu with an E4GT. Am I right?

I guess that's what I get for trying, but I did say to limit this to E4GT only, so the SGS2 with the 7700+ doesn't count.
I will also state I ran mine exactly the same way I run it every day, with widgets running and such. SO I will go back and tweak what I can and see what I get. At the time, though, I thought it was cool.

Pardon me, I misread.
So how about some advice and pointers? Your RAM is one thing that is killing me, and if I were able to get 1650-1700MHz I figure the CPU figures will help themselves. My read/write is dead on with yours. So what do I do to get to those speeds and that much free RAM? I am running Tegrak as well. And other than the zedomax kernel and root, everything else is stock.

I don't trust any kernel that isn't based off of stock pulled at this point. I have social hub, media hub, and all the drm apps frozen. I think I have the odexed nociq mod but that might've gone away when I had to revert to a nandroid backup not sure. Don't use a live wallpaper.. That's about all I can think of really. Every phone is different so we could have the exact same setup and get different scores.

I Might Be Wrong But I Think This Phone Does Not Need Custom Roms

I had the gsm version of the GN on Tmobile and now i have the CDMA/LTE Version with Verizon and I got to say this is the first phone that I can actually say there is no need for a custom rom. I had the galaxy s, mytouch 4g, htc sensation and on all those phones a custom rom was always a must and that is not the case with this phone. I have tried many custom roms on here both gsm and cdma and I still havent found one that runs any better, faster or smoother then the stock one. Dont get me wrong I appreciate the developers working on this phone but thats just my opinion I wanted to share with everyone specially the people new to this phone. All you need is root and your good to go for a few custom mods and wireless tethering
No phone needs a custom ROM. A lot of people want custom ROMs. Some may want them more than others. You're happy with the stock setup and thats great. Doesn't mean everyone is.
True thats why I said I might be wrong. Just expressing my thoughts about this phone so far
Custom roms ruin phones. Too many issues. I dont care if they make certain parts better; they always cause more issues than it's worth IMO.

I agree. Not that I'm ungrateful to the modders/devs but I don't know how many times I've seen "smooth as butter, no bugs, ultra fast" etc only to have multiple issues with a ROM.
I totally disagree. My Nexus is running much better after rooting and running a custom ROM. And I have absolutely no issues to speak of other than better battery life and a noticeably faster phone.

I'm on AOKP build X1 with Leankernel 1.1.0. Custom voltages as well.
I'm on the fence about this, might give a custom from a try soon. Think I'll stick with the stock kernel for a while though.

Could you provide a link? Thank you.
Many people get a development-friendly Google Experience phone such as this for the express purpose of using custom ROMs. Many others just want a straight Android phone with no TouchWiz/Sense/Blur on it and that gets timely software updates. To each his own (though I like to push the boundaries of Android's potential and try various ROM/kernel/mod/theme combinations). Yes, custom ROMs often have bugs in them (our devs often work alone or with small teams for free and squeeze dev work between job and family life - besides, even stock has bugs, and Google has legions of coders and testers). In addition to some bugs, though, they usually offer performance, features, and eye candy not available on stock.
Has anyone seen John Connor?
this is what I'm on all stock rooted and clockwork recovery. battery life is great and I don't have the problems that some people have experienced with google apps and with the market not restoring etc. and like I said I have tried custom roms on both the GSM and CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus. just sharing my experience on both phone also to add Verizons Network runs 2-3 times faster then Tmobile's Network in Los Angeles.

i have to agree. i am rooted but find no rom got my interest. maybe cm9, but it's not stable yet.
my main reason to root my phones have always been to remove all the sh!t that verizon puts in their phones, so with this one being 90% crapware free,i feel no need to root it.
A ROM may not be necessary, but a new launcher for sure. Nova launcher allows enough customization to do most things.
Roman just released a "milestone" ROM version of aokp that's solid and ships with stock kernel. His drop down toggles are the best.
Its my daily driver now for sure. I hit it hard flashing since I bought this phone, but need to take a break and this ROM is it for me. And I'm sticking with stock kernel just to keep GTA 3 working

[Q] Battery Rom Question.

Hellos guys I would like to know wich Rom out there has the best battery life.??? Im running the latest juggernaut..thanks.
I would say dewizzled
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'm not sure if you can just say best battery life is XXX as everyone's usage patterns are different and different aspects drain the battery faster than others. I have found Dewizzed to give me the best life out of all of the ones I've tried, but I don't get near the time that many post in that thread. The one difference is that when they post their usage stats I never see "Voice Calls" in the top half of the apps using battery, whereas if I look at mine right now Voice calls is #1 at 53% and Display is #2 at 18%. I use my phone heavily as a phone during the workweek, others use it as a media device, others gaming...you get the idea.
Try Dewizzed and try a couple of others. It's easy to flash and then restore or go back to one that works better for you (plus the geek in me thinkgs that is fun too).

WOW! thats pretty impressive. what's your time on display?
I was wondering the same thing. But more along the lines of which rom kernel combo people are running. Now to hijack original posters thread, but if people could also put what kernel they are running too. The best I ever got was BeastMod with Synergy, but once he left the building I don't feel like any of the other ones have been as good.

That tells us little, click on display and show us how much time the display has actually been on
From my experience, it is not necessarily the rom that effects the battery life as much as the kernel does. Every rom I have installed I end up changing the kernel to synergy 10 and see a big increase in battery life.

Display time on and brightness? From the graph it doesn't seem like you used the phone for too much and we don't know how bright your screen was, time on voice calls and any other applications. Why is it that people don't know how to post battery life correctly? Your wifi was on most of the time and wifi uses less battery than data connectivity plus we don't know the type of reception you were receiving. Edge consumes less battery than 3G. These are all factors that need to be taken into consideration to draw a clear conclusion on your battery life.

Custom Kernel - What do you say?

Hi everyone, for a long time i see ppl claiming their phone last longer due to a custom kernel.
Normally i read they saying "i could never make my phone lasting with 2hs screen on or lasting for 2 days".
Anyway, its obviously that this will depend 100% what ppl do with their phone accordingly to apps, widgets, syncing, etc.
For me, normally i have around 3 and a half hour screen on and around 1 day and a half to 2 days.
I do use WiFi and 3G alot... browsing, gaming, texting, etc.
My point is that i belive ppl have a placebo effect. Custom kernel will give you faster response, OC ability and other advantages.
What do you guys say?
Attached are some screenshot from my 100% stock phone.

I just believe some of the little tweaks devs do to a custom kernel do make a difference.
I bag 4h30m on my gnex regularly.
Yea I totally agree that stock performs just as well in the battery life department. All I care about is having root.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Your battery life won't really get better than that. I really agree that there's often a placebo effect in switching roms/kernels, i only use a different kernel for color settings volume boost via Francos app. Stick with stock though I'd say, but of course it's always nice to try out kernels, despite the placebo effect.
Speaking of which though, I'm performing a real life test seeing which governors on my kernel work best for battery life. I simply switch then lol at my screen on time and see if it's improved, I'm assuming hotplugx will win, so we'll see. Interactive is still a great balanced on though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
It made a difference for me personally, because I wasn't getting very good battery life at all with the stock kernel. The other tweaks were also a pretty good bonus.
You're getting pretty great battery life as is though, I wouldn't worry too much about changing to a custom kernel if you're consistently getting numbers like those.
Thanks everybody for the feedback. I guess we are all at the same page.

Battery life or not but performance of the phone definitely improves with custom kernels... Asphalt 7 use to lag a bit on stock JRO03C but after trying Franco kernel Milestone 6 no lag or reboots whatsoever..
In fact I have a placebo that custom kernels reduce battery life
Worth it for the small performance improvements alone but I do get a little better battery life.
Even a few percent better is better than nothing when you sit in a building with poor reception and your battery takes a hit from your phone having a low signal

What mods have you done to your phone? I am running aokp build 4 with Franco kernel milestone 6 and I'm starting to see some good numbers too.

3+ hours screen on time, 12+ hours standby. I didn't think it was possible, my battery bad been draining pretty quickly. I think the key this time was that I was on WiFi all day.

no sync because i don't have the data to go syncing the whole day, auto brightness, 3g outside, wifi at home. Web browsing only, i don't play games on my phone, it's reserved for my computer.
Stock kernel, stock ROM. Turn off auto sync unless you are connected to a wifi hotspot. This will give you 3 hours screen on time and 12+ hours uptime. I have 3 email accounts set up, but they do not sync automatically. I manually check my email in the am, at lunch, and evening.
Stock kernel, unless you can't help but obsess about making your phone "fast". If you want fast, go into Development Options within Settings and turn off all animations, then install a launcher like Nova and turn animations to "faster than light".
I used to flash all kinds of mods on my phone and I realized that was ALL I did with my phone, tinker and troubleshoot it. I will only unlock and root my phone if we stop getting the latest OS updates. In the meantime, nothing is so wrong with the stock kernel and rom that should make you install Bob's OS. But you know, that's the beauty of Android. You can decide what you do with your phone. Hope my point of view makes you reconsider flashing any custom software.
