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?
Just wondering if deep sleep shows in CPU spy with this phone? Its always appearing as an unused state and I believe its destroying my battery life. Tried Better battery stats but it isnt showing any serious wake locks.. so thats what got me wondering whether im looking at the correct stat.
Edit:Latest whompasaurus w/ perseus kernel. Was doing the same on slickricks 4.2 roms though.
No, it works fine. Mine absolutely goes into deep sleep....
BUT, never when the power is plugged in. Only on battery.
I had a similar issue where no wakelocks showed, and no deep sleep but it turned out to be a cool sidebar app I had installed. (Sidebar Lite)
I ended up uninstalling it and the issue went away. Pity cause I liked the idea of that app too.
Re: [Q] deep sleep on CPU spy?
Yeah mine is getting 0% deep sleep on a clean install besides titanium and cpuspy on every rom I've tried incl. PA, vanilla rootbox, and whomp. Cant figure it out. My screen is cracked. Could that have something to do with it I wonder?

Try disabling/uninstall the PIE controls (if you have them activated). I wasn't getting deep sleep on Whompasaurus 2.9 at all, then flashed over to MacksROM All Star 3.0 and deep sleeped quick. Now i know it could be the difference in ROMs, but on WHOMP I had the PIE controls active, on Macks, there's an issue with the PIE controls that cause it to Force Close (there's a fix, just haven't done it yet), so I removed the app from my system folder and am getting good deep sleep on my phone.
Just a thought, let us know if this works for you!
I'm seeing no deepsleep courtesy of a mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock on v20.1PACMan ROM. Pie controls disabled. Was sleeping fine on previous build... I think something in Cyanogenmod or aokp changed recently...

Well curiously the one thing all the roms I've tried have in common is PIE but I uninstalled the LMT apk to no avail. Are there other apks?
What's this "PIE controls"?
This program I don't have. Mine's a fairly cleaned up STOCK deodexed rom.

It wouldnt be on a stock rom. Check out the paranoid android thread for more info.
Hmmm. It's an addon like Sidebar. Sidebar never let the phone go to deep sleep because it was always monitoring the side of the screen. Looks like this may be doing the same thing. I don't know for sure, just speculation based on the previous comments and my experience with these types of addons.
So can anybody else check to see if they're getting deep sleep on the roms I mentioned?
hi all.
tried a few aosp roms. all great. just some annoying random reboots. im not a heavy customizer. i just like the feel of vanilla android. and also i like smaller dpi settings. currently running ptmr3's jedi rom. excellent rom, havent experienced any reboots. though its a nice rom, i like aosp roms. any out there without random reboots?
also with the kitkat update our note3 is getting, will future roms be more random reboots less or none at all? im suppose to meet someone this coming wednesday to trade my note3 for his nexus5. or should i wait til new roms are cooked up based on the kitkat update for better aosp roms?
also trying to figure out how to remove this damn widget on lockscreen. cant seem to get rid of it.
thanks all

I've been on the unified Note3 CM11 builds and have been enjoying them quite a bit. The only reboots (and lockups) I got were from tweaking my CPU settings...apparently the only parameter that was pissing my phone off was the conservative governor. Also clk_min won't stay at the floor...but aside from slightly compromised battery life CM11 has been near perfect. I'll take the very slight battery life reduction for AOSP...also, the ART runtime is wayyyyyy better than Dalvik. Worth it for that alone. I just enabled that "for good" today but I already expect enough battery life savings to make up the difference (which was admittedly small).
Performance is top notch (even when underclocked to 960mHz), the ART runtime seems to make scrolling, chrome, maps and all around navigation snappy as hell...and I don't have to deal with TWiz. To each their own, touchwiz ain't for me. All the important stuff appears to work (LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, 1080p video recording...I can't even remember the things I used to worry about...everything works fine, even the 'settings bug' is resolved now...)
YMMV, of course.

Thanks. I will try it out after i play around with gummy. Yah im not a fan of touchwiz either. How do i enable ART? i have never tinkered with that. Also regarding cpu tweaking. I dont really bother with that and i still get reboots and lock ups. Most times i just leave the kernel that came with the rom alone and not change it.
im a flashoholic. & i truley hate touchwiz roms. but ive been a week on AOSB v1.30 (longest ive ever stayed on one rom lol) its smooth & zippy, it has some amazing battery life. also vanir isnt a bad rom.
also switching runtimes is available in developer options under "apps"

WOW. i think i just found me a stable rom to use. installed and been running this rom for more than an hour now with all my usual tweaks and apps installed. and so far no reboots. usually on other aosp rom, i would have had a few reboots already. this is awesooooome. well besides the fact that app settings (xposed) doesnt seem to work since temasek integrated his own lcd density changer on the settings menu. also he just announced yesterday that he is putting his development on hold (temporarily, hopefully). damn!

temesek is very nice work, glad to hear you found a rom!
Simple Question. Why are you using the ROM and Kernel that you are using. What does it give you that makes you stick with it?
ROM: - CyanogenMod 11
The most popular ROM available. Has some really good features and provides quick updates. Though I am thinking of switching to another ROM because it's become real slow now.
Kernel - - DirtyV
Definitely the most popular Kernel on the forums now. Much faster than CM stock Kernel. Battery life is average.
ROM - Dreams – Because it's my built and it has everything what I need.
Kernel - AOSPA kernel with some minor changes by me – Because I don't flash custom kernels. ––Soon 3.4 kernel when it works on tuna!
I've tried several roms and ultimaetly, I got tired of flashing a new rom every week (sometimes 3-4x a week) and I landed on Vanir with their stock kernel.
It's not amazingly great, but it will do until I found one that better.
Anyone?
Have tested every ROM to date from 4.2 to 4.4.2 and I still have been using PA 4.1.2 ROM w/Zen kernel combo for the past 1.5 yrs, since it's the only one that works exactly like I want and also stable.
Main features being full tablet mode w/status/navigation/notification bar all at the bottom(if needed) but mostly used in extended desktop mode w/out the crappy built-in ROM PIE Controls, fully functioning stock browser:
LiquidSmooth - many features but no slowdowns like on some other ROMs
Fancy or DirtyV - constant and frequent updates to make them even better

How old is your battery?
Cause it shouldn't be much older then mines and I'm still getting a full days worth of battery life from 4.1.2 ROM.
That's including 40+ mins of BT audio streaming in the car(BT is never ever toggled off), 20+ mins of talk time, all play store updates are auto over data, push email, weather/stock widgets update every 30 mins on home screen and screen set to auto brightness.
Might be worth it to buy a replacement battery.

I never bought another battery, so its around year and 7-8 months. I would buy it but Im thinking to buy new phone soon anyway so thats the reason I stuck with this poor battery. And I know battery is not that old but I charge it like 2 times at least everyday, maybe thats the reason it lost some of its capacity.
Anyway, your resulsts are amazing, espcialy BT turned on all time

Is their another Rom or Rom + Kernel Combination anyone can share, i'm in need of a Speedy, Battery Improved custom rom.
I would just like to see if theirs a cyanogenmod particularly rom with a kernel thats perfect together or working fantastic together.
i use a bunch of social media apps and i;ve just delt
~~~~~
with
random reboots, High battery drainage, no 64gb microsdcard support, wifi toggle not turning on or working even after rebooting. and last but not least the camera likes to make my face squeezed together yet with another rom its fine and doesnt do that.

I;'ve been flashing a bunch of roms to test out for my daily driver or use and i can't seem to find a stable or even practical ROM for my Galaxy S3 (d2spr or d2lte)
I've recently flashed.
-C-Rom v7.1
Without flashing a kernel
-Its runs pretty smooth and nice but i need it to be a bit more tweaked to run faster. I'm still pretty new at kernel customization and or Tweaking and was wondering if theirs a profile or a save file i can transfer onto my phone with the best setting for me to use hopefully for my daily needs.
After i Flashed
+ Leankernel v9.7 (specifically, 9.9 didnt work nor did 9.19)
I'm not sure but with the updated verson of the kernel it either doesnt seem to boot or go past the samsung screen and with (v9.5) a few toggles won't work such as GPS and or WIFI and WIFI is a must for my activity since i have no service at the moment.
-Everything works with LK v9.7 but except when i go on Snapchat on the front facing camera it doesnt record even it shows that it is when hold the button down ( like the red goes all around the circle but it doesnt stop)
--I've tried CyangenMod 10.1.3 and 10.2.1 and even LiquidSmooth 3.2 and 3.1
WIthout the kernel its battery friendly which i like, its speedy and reliable but its not fully customized and or the camera happens to be making my face look squeezed in but with another rom its fine.
WIth a kernel its improved with bootup and performance but battery life does drain a bit faster with KT camera is still making my face squeezed.
--WIth WIcked x8.2
with the built in kernel i cant change.....it happens to turn off my wifi frequent on its own sometimes and i dont like that its kinda fast but it does drain a bit faster..
--with wicked S5 experience
its the same as wicked x8.2 sorta, the wifi turns off completely and i would i have to restart my whole phone to get it back up again.
---with Resurrection remix 4.4.2 5.1.5
its just the kernel thats the problem and random reboots and my face being squeezed on camera.
----Resurrection remix 5.3.5
ovbiously the camera doesnt work and apps take a bit too install and load.
-----SLimkat (or slim series)
i dont really like the slim series just that reason i just dont like it even if i can change the DPI its not something i like.
