Should I try 4.2.1 now? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm currently running CyanogenMod 10, but I tried 4.2.1 before and I noticed it had some delay when you pressed the power button to lock the screen, compared to 4.1's animation.
So I reverted to 4.1 (CM10 in my case), but I wanted to know, did someone make a ROM that actually had that lock delay fixed? Also I don't know exactly which ROMs I should go for, so if someone could give me some tips I'd be grateful.

4.2.1 has come a long way. Yes you should try it. Power button delay is kind of small to make you revert to 4.1.1 compared to the other problems 4.2.1 had.
Try all the roms to get feel for which ROM is best for your device and personal needs.
To point you in the right direction try sourcery or black bean roms

I also see that problem with delay on power off. Everything else is good! New clock app, lockscreen and switches (better with AOSP R8) are great! Give it a try

Take my word, don't , 4.2.1 introduces significant battery drain across all the nexuses and all the kernels , keep it tight and wait for next update or KLP .

mine too.

+1. The time I spent on CM10.1, I did not notice any difference in battery from CM10.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus today (toroplus).
If I take the OTA now will I have problems rooting it later?

No, why should you?

Nexus phones are open devices. No matter what, rooting will always be easy. Thats the beauty of the Nexus line.
Coming from a Motorola phone, I know where you are coming from though.

Go on 4.2.1 ...Try Xylon 18 + Purity 20 Kernel,the combination is amazig,super fast and extremely smooth,also the battery is doing great!

Yes try some of the 4.2 ROMs. The amazing developers have fixed most of googles issues. Come on in...the waters fine.

Ridiculous and totally invalid claim.
Try AOSPA + AK Purity v020 or AK Dummy v670 and your phone will be smooth as butter.

Agreed

Completely agree with you. AOSPA with AK or Air kernel is extremely smooth. Do give it a try.
Regd battery life, You can expect anywhere between 17-18 hours with 3-3.5 hrs screen on time.

4.2.1 camera sucks big time

I'm on maybe the 4th release of 4.2.1 on the XENON HD series (toro). Version Stable-4.0. Franco kernel. Also using the seeder app to effectively eliminate lag on my particular device, YMMV.
As a daily driver, this ROM, for me, keeps getting better and better. The phone feels new again, and I hate "feeling" in this context.
Regarding the lock delay, can you be more specific? I observe a delay of one to threes seconds some times, other times, the delay is less than a second -- effectively instantaneous. I haven't investigated it further, but on this ROM, its been a non-issue for me. Anecdotally, the delay seems related to cellular network congestion.

I've tried XenonHD and Muzzy's rom so far, and I think I'm sticking with the latter. I noticed on XenonHD some bugs, for example I want to deactivate the expanded desktop on the power toggles, I unchecked it on the settings but it still was there, even after rebooting.
And I also tend to press back to close the notification bar after using the toggles there, but for some it didn't work on that ROM. And I also hated the "moto style" navbar icons, I much prefer the stock ones, especially since whenever I put my phone on landscape mode the buttons were really small.
I also checked the Paranoid Android and the Purity ROMs, but the former lacked settings for the battery icons and the latter had the dark version of the AOSP theme, which I hate.
Is there any ROM that should be better than Muzzy's? I'm not sure yet, but I think I like things mostly stock, seems to me that it is the best way to avoid bugs. In the end, I need a ROM that's stable and as bugless as possible, as I don't have much time nowadays to be constantly changing ROMs...

Thanks guys. I ended up getting an iPhone for about a year. It was a great phone but boring due to having no customization. This is my 2nd day with the Galaxy Nexus and I love it. Android has really come a long way since I last used it.

Hi Geo411m,
Thanks for your effort, just like to confirm that is it a CWM flashable zip?
Thanks~!!
Well, I ran into a few issues at first. It didn't have any APNs, but I reset APNS to default then restarted the phone and all is well now.
So far so good, no real issues now that it's up and running. Thanks!
And yes, it's flashable via CWM.

Did you wipe caches after install? This rom was created using the system image directly from google and therefore should work exactly as OTA. Not sure why the apn weren't there on first use.

Stock or AOKP
Receiving my brand new NEXUS tomorrow. Need to make a decision whether to go with stock ROM vs AOKP.
My history has been HyperDroid CM7 on an HD2 so i am on completely new ground. Can any and all give me your top 10 reasons to go either way?...........

In my opinion I feel stock (with a few tweaks) offers more stability. I've seen too many AOSP give lots of FC/crashes and I rather have a working phone then have it crash while outdoors and you have to wait to get home to fix it.
My experience in Stock tells me, you can only be with stock for so long...
...till you get frustrated enough to
first - atleast change the Kernel (go for franco kernel, one of the best out there). that makes things a bit snappier, has much more tweaks under the hood for battery life, wifi et al
Then, second, figure out how many more features are available in ROMs out there instead of stock. Once you find that - it is very difficult to stick to stock. Try APEX which is a very generic rom and keeps best features of most of the ROMs out there.
So basically, take it easy, and enjoy the ride ... (or enjoy the bumps first then figure out a way to sail smooth!)
You wont like the smooth sailing of a beautiful rom and a kernel out there, till you've had it rough enough on stock. I just used the rom in this thread, and my phone went down by atleast 30% in terms of performance.
Its much more sluggish, feels heavier, and a bit jerky through the menus. Even when I have almost no apps installed!
I was much better on a 4.0.3 bigxie Apex rom (extremely stable) and franco kernel - extremely fast! blazing.
Stock cant even hold a candle infront of this combination, and I'm talking about 4.0.4!!

I just updated the ROM with a much more optimized system. Let me know how it compares to AOSP.
May I know what did you do to optimize the system? Deodex is to make it slower so I'm wondering what are other tweaks you included that make it different than say ARHD 3.0.

I don't know what's in ARHD to compare. I made lots of changes to the build.prop for increased performance and made changes to the system to make android take advantage of the Nexuses GPU for better performance.

GN Screen occasionally becomes less responsive

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

What's your experience with...

stability?
app incompatibilities?
whose kernel are you using?
how do you like Google Now? Does it kick Siri's butt?
would you recommend using now as a daily driver?
Feel free to add anything other experiences. I hope we can get some good info to help those of us who are still on the fence with Jelly Bean.

I'm using paranoid android's JB version
battery life? Equal to AOKP on ICS (2days standby, 4~5hours screen on time)
smoothness? Perfectly smooth, equal to all the other JB roms I've tried
stability? - No issues yet
app incompatibilities? - No issues yet either
whose kernel are you using? - The standard one for paranoid android (i.e. CM10's), I used to use franco's but the battery drains too fast with no real benefit for JB
how do you like Google Now? Does it kick Siri's butt? - Google now works incredibly well.
would you recommend using now as a daily driver? - Yes

I'm running Paranoid Android v1.9.1a (based on JellyBro CM10, I believe?).
Battery Life: Having a hard time seeing much difference between JB- and ICS-based builds. More on that later.
Smoothness: So. Damn. Smooth. Really, really good. Rapid scrolling through APW FB and Twitter widgets would sort of stutter on ICS builds. No such hiccups now. Similarly, when installing/updating apps in the background, my system used to lag really hard. There's still a little bit of stutter, but so much better now.
Stability: I think I had maybe two random reboots in ~3 weeks. Some of those may have been related to experimental versions of the kernel. Hard to say, as I didn't investigate particularly hard.
App Incompatibilities: Haven't run into anything yet, aside from apps which do not play by the Holo UI rules and require an onscreen menu button. (CM10 commits appear to have baked longpress Multitasking button as Menu, though. Or maybe that is all molesarecoming's doing in ParanoidAndroid. In any case, it's excellent.)
Kernel: imoseyon's leanKernel v4.2.0. Stock voltages and frequencies. Using the InteractiveX governor. There were a few experimental builds for v4.1.x that were hotfixes to get it to even boot in CM10-based ROMs. I have the feeling that the few freak reboots I got were related to the kernel's growing pains.
Google Now vs. Siri: Having never used Siri, I can't really speak to that. Google Now is quite nice though! A real step up from the previous, boring Google Search app. Voice recognition is really good, and the few commands that I've played with (setting alarms, getting directions, etc.) were neat. Voice commands aren't really my cup of tea, though. I already think about my phone too much. If I start talking to it routinely, my girlfriend will probably up and leave me. And I probably wouldn't blame her :]
Daily Driver: Obviously recommended if you're a veteran ROM flasher! And definitely painless enough that I think even a newcomer would be just fine.

I am running Bugless Beast Jelly Bean from Pete Alfonso (Verizon Toro). Currently on the 7/24 build but started with 7/9
1. Battery Life is good. Initially it was shaky, but good after I turned off most of the location based Google Now options.
2. Smoothness - Awesome. Big improvement from ICS
3. Stability - Perfect so far
4. App incompatibilities - So far only one, MyTouchTunes. One normal menu selection does not respond to touch. There is another menu with the same thing so it is not a big problem.
5. Kernel - Stock
6. Google now seems cool, shows off phone really well. Not really sure yet of value, and have not spent enough time with Siri to judge.
7. Highly recommended. Better experience than stock 4.04 all around.

I tried jb the day it came out and went back to cm9 because of app incompatibilities. But apps are being upgraded to the point that it's not that much of an issue now, so I made the move to jb.
Went with bigxie's 4.1.1 ROM because of his reputation for releasing very solid, stable ROMs that just work. It also is already rooted and has busybox and gapps preinstalled, which eliminates more hassle. No complaints or issues whatsoever. Smooth as glass and rock solid.
Installed Nova launcher to give me a few of the conveniences I like, at least until a CM10 release candidate comes out. No issues.
Trinity kernel is still in alpha for jb, but after reading some good reports about it, I went ahead and installed it, too. Working great so far with no hiccups. Very good color control and ability to tweak for superior battery life (two of its strong points).
So at this point I'm very satisfied with this combination and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
I don't use Google Now, or even keep GPS turned on at all. I'm a big believer in internet privacy, and Google doesn't need to know about my daily activities. So can't offer an opinion there.
Tried one of the Roms thinking it wouldn't be ready and I'd have to go back to ICS... how wrong was I. Once you've been to JB you'll never go back to ICS... works perfectly well, no issues.
I'm using Jellybro CM10 Kangs.
In battery I notice no difference.
Very smooth for me, no random crashes, reboots or anything like that, everything works.
Only app I had a problem with is Power amp doesn't work right in the notification bar.
My friend has an i4S, even he agrees Google Now kicks Siri's butt. The voice is more human like, pictures come up, its more of a place to get info rather than a novelty like Siri.
I would strongly recommend the ROM I'm using because it has some of the most important things I missed from ROMs; Notification drawer widget, extra lock screen targets, lock screen weather, lock screen calendar, even theme chooser works now.

Hellz yeah!
I've been running BAMF Paradigm v.2.0 since it was released a few days ago and I absolutely love it. Battery life is well, the GNex typical battery life. I always have spare batteries charged.
I've had no random reboots and confidently use it as my daily driver. I'm using the kernel that is included with the ROM. I've tried a couple others and rolled back to the stock one right away. I was getting problem with deep sleep on any alternate kernel.
I never used ICS on this phone. I rooted and flashed JB from the day I got it, so I really can't speak the the difference in performance, but I run ICS on my HP Touchpad and I know I would not be happy with it on my phone after having used JB.
I would, without hesitation, tell you to make the leap to JB.
I don't think you'll miss ICS in the least.

Minco with Trinity is better than Minco with the embedded Franco?

Why do you like your ROM?

What rom do you have on your phone?
Why do you like it?
What dont you like about it?
Im curious to see what everyone is running
So far ive ran aokp, paranoid android, and cm10.
Im currently on cm10 and enjoy how professional it is. (explaining the swag button to potent galaxy buyers was kind of tough)
I would have kept paranoid android but the profiles didnt work and i didnt know how to use the dpi changer.
I also started this thread to see who uses android development ROMS instead of the original development ones
Im mainly interested in the non original android development roms users and their oppinions but everyone's answer is appreciated
My favorite was Codename Android, besides one major flaw that myself and very few others experienced: Impossible to send SMS longer than 160 characters, regardless of settings/reflashes/apn/etc. Just because it was the smoothest ROM for me.
I value UI smoothness above all else and have yet to find a ROM that is truly stutter free.
CM10 is ok, but if you go to clock and swipe to the side to go to timer it stutters like a pentium 2 running Crysis: Warhead.
Stock ICS ROM's lag, as well Facebook/third party app scrolling has constant stutter reminiscing of SGS1
JB Leaks (LIF, LIG, LIH) give me blackscreen reboots once in a while, although noticeably smoother than ICS.
I didn't mention battery life as quite frankly I can get a day of usage with every ROM I have tried so far which is nearly all of them.
I think I'm using stock ROM right now as I was fed up and just restored an old nandroid... I guess its ok, everything just works, lots of stutter's though. Doesn't have that premium feel you expect of a device at this price point.

Run AOKP then, it's extremely fast and smooth.

I have tried multiple versions of it, still stutters on homescreen sometimes. Same Timer stutter as CM10 and annoying alarm bug (although there is a fix, it's inconvenient). As well the Nova launcher that AOKP uses, and pretty much all third party launchers have a little input lag due to non native integration or no hardware acceleration (not sure which, but the input lag is there).
Anyway I'll take my fluidity rant somewhere else, people seem happy with the current state of the phone.

The childishness of aokp turned me off since i looked at the boot logo but my gripes can all be easily fixed /hidden.
I havent noticed the speed difference but i do see tge lag you speak about but ive dismissed it as a hardware being underpowered to the rom issue and dont notice it as much anymore
So im still looking for answers from non original development users but to everyone else
>> What are the Cm10 vs aokp major Differences?
Here is a quick look at some of the differences

Blazer Rom.
It's minimalistic, faster than stock without overclocking, great battery right out of the box, and EVERYTHING WORKS. take that jelly bean.

Because its my ROM. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
I'm currently using cm10 and I find very awesome. It's fast and has a lot of great features. I tried AOKP and decided that IMO cm10 was closer to actual 4.1, but AOKP had many more features.

I had been running AOKP for a week or so, I like its customization better than that of other ROMs.
I just yesterday found a new ROM called Paranoid KANGdroid. It pulls from CM10, AOKP, and Paranoid Android. Has pretty much all the features of all three. So much customization, I love it. Not fully stable, though, its only a few days old.

Cm10/JB rom or official jelly bean?

Are you switching to the official JB ? If yes...what's the benefit?
I think I'm staying with my CM 10.

i mean 4.2.1 ( CM10.1) is gonna come out soon... im excited for that staying with aokp 4.1.2 for now
I was on TW ICS and now on TW JB. My battery life is worse on JB. I think I'm going to give AOKP or CM10 a try this weekend for the first time.
I have brand new att s3 and 4.0
should I root it then get official update, or update it and then root?
the official update breaks root so it won't matter. you can root the new JB update though no problem.
Sticking with cm10 because it's awesome!

Cm10 ROM is truly amazing. What do you really loose? You loose all the motion gestures that, well personally I didn't use except the *stay awake* one, the stock video player, ability to save camera to extsd(which I actually hate not having)
What do you gain? You gain speeds on a phone I never imagined, you gain the absolute absence of bloatware, you gain an awesome camera, total systematic customization, far less app freezes(if rarely any), beautiful lock screen, notification bar from heaven, longer battery, performance control and sooooo much more. So far the S3 with a CM ROM on it, is longest phone I have ever kept.
Is there a way to update CM 10 nightly automatically? Or is it by flashing as if it was another rom? Where do we get 10.1? Thanks

I go to "system settings /about phone /Cm10 updates " you should be able to update there.

The ability to save camera images to EXT SD is something I wasn't aware CM10 didn't have. Hmm, I usually keep all my media on the EXT SD. I guess that's not a deal breaker more than it is an annoyance. The other thing I expect to lose is S Planner and the related widgets. I thought they were very useful. I wonder if the AOSP Calendar app has a similar widget? Can you or anyone confirm?
I look forward to the performance improvements even though I have no complaints with the TW JB in that area. The battery life is what I am hoping will improve quite a bit.
I was running CM10 since the stable release. I loved it. Battery life was great. I missed a lot of the TW features so i went to Bacon. Personally i wish there was a hybrid of both. BT works better in TW, but CM is so damn fast! Its just a preference, but try them out. Thats the beauty of owning these devices. .

I agree. I tried CM10 for a few days and I loved it, but I had to go back to stock (and happened to get the official JB update the same day). I use Bluetooth in my car, so it's a really important feature for me. The CM Bluetooth support just isn't as solid as the stock ROM. It sometimes had trouble connecting, the volume was lower, and there was a bug where there was no bass. Also, the stock ROM has some nice Samsung features that I'd like to try out for a bit longer (I just got the phone last week).
If CM can resolve the BT issues, then I might go back. However, I had similar issues on CM6/7 on my old Sony Ericsson X10. I wanted to throw that phone out the window of my car.

I flashed blackjellyv.0.9.1 and got everything stock had to offer with the cm10 feel and more. So amazing that tw should mimic it. But, weirdly I got so used the phone ability to swipe from dialer over that having to two hand it to the top to select things really irritated me. The cm10.0 is a bit faster, BUT u can DL pics right to SDCard on camera!!! The lock screen is the ripple stock which I wish were the jellybean lock instead, and the dialer flashes greens and blues etc while it is call out or coming in if you do not have a pic defaulted. I couldn't stand that part. The BlackJelly though IS the stock version of CM10 IMO
