I have no idea why but when 4.2.2-based ROMs came out, my phone started to run like garbage. Slowdowns, lag, memory leaks, you name it, it happened. And it seemed to have started with 4.2.2. I don't ever remember this being a problem with 4.1.2-based ROMs.
So I ask... has anyone else experienced these issues? Does your phone run like garbage on 4.2.2-based ROMs?
I've been thinking of going back to a 4.1.2-based ROM just to try and get back some of the speed that my phone used to have. There are times I want to throw this thing against the wall because lately trying to get it to do anything without seriously bad lag is like trying to pull teeth.
You people overreact to everything. If its so bad, and you knew it was going to be bad, then why in the world did y'all upgrade to 4.2.2?
Try UDKs ROM, works fine for me
I'm thinking that 4.2.2 may be too heavy for the hardware of the Galaxy Nexus. 4.1.2 never was this slow and laggy on this phone.

considering my phone runs just fine 4.2.2 on stock rom, its prolly the rom you're running.
I think 4.2.2 runs great. Compare it to the original 4.0 ics firmware it blows it out of the water.

Does it not even lag after running it for a few days without reboot? That is the issue many people are seeing and 4.2.2 is smoother than ICS for the most part except the recents may sometimes lag worse on 4.2.2. The worse part of ICS was the unlock lag with auto brightness on.

4.2.2 is running super smooth for me. I dont know what all these people having issues is all about. It all depends on what ROM you use, and also could be the recovery you use. If your using an old recovery, it may not be wiping stuff right before flashing. A lot of factors go into a phone running crappy. Dont blame it all on 4.2.2.

This issue only happens on custom roms because its an issue with stock though maybe less noticeable there.
But as far as the OPs comments, if you're annoyed by 4.2.2 so much then switch back to 4.1.2 if you like it better.

I got the OTA yesterday for my VZW GNex and it's running great. So far, it's a better experience than 4.1 for me. Battery life seems the same (in a good way) and the UI is acting smoother than before.

Not really. Try not to reboot your 4.2.2-based rom for 2-3 days and you'll see the real smoothness (Sometimes it take couple of hours sometimes couple of days to reproduce the issue). I've tested 6 roms so far including non-rooted, slimmed stock - Low fps scrolling issue appears on every single one, clean install and always updated twrp recovery.
I think android 4.2.2 is an interesting project and it works not that bad. However there are some annoying bugs there. I don't use WIFi tethering or BT and I know how to deal with scrolling lag so it doesn't bother me that much. I can patiently wait for fix but problems exist and full wipe will not solve them.
my only issue is the battery drain lol thats all
I've got a epic 4g touch and I'm running cm10.1 wild for the night 4.2.2 and it works perfectly! Way faster than before.

I use WiFi tethering and Bluetooth on Rasbean/Trinity 4.2.2 and don't have any issues even after 2-3 days. Only issue I had initially was major lag in recents after a couple days. Rebooted and haven't had that problem since, even after several days uptime.

There is already a thread about the lag problem on roms based on 4.2.2 update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178962 and I confirm the lag.after 2-3 days ui starts to lag.everything gets better if you flash ak kernel diamond ed plus download clean master app by ksmobile from play store and you open it/go to history and clean cache once a day.The second thing that i found is that if you change the wallpaper when the lag start it goes away.hope this helps.good luck!

4.1.2 has been the smoothest version of stock in all the time I've been using Android. If 4.2.2 seems that bad, try running Lagfix once.
I've been on cm 10.1 nightlies (4.2.2) for awhile now and no lags/slowdowns whatsoever. Aside from the SOD when I first tried it (fixed now), it has been just as smooth if not smoother than 4.1.2

Cm10.1 is not bad indeed (I am running it now and I'm pretty much enjoying it) but 4.1.2 based roms like cna 3.8.0 or cm10 are by far smoother. If you want to see the difference in smoothness go to application drawer (widget tab) and swipe left or right. On every 4.2.2 based rom swiping there is more or less but still kinda choppy.... On two 4.1.2 roms I mentioned above it's almost perfect. Small thing.

in my case it was franco kernel that caused the super bad performance.
the problem was coming from write performance which caused cpu overloading and locking down the device. this got worse after some time without reboot ~2days.
i did a clean install of sourcery rom with cmw (twrp seems to leave some stuff behind which will cause the lag again?) and so far my device is up for some time without any slowdowns.
maybe you once installed a kernel and use twrp which never got you a clean rom again? hope that helps some of you troubled ones.

i used to run ICS on a stock ROM and it was quite stable. However, after trying some ROM's, I'm facing different problems on different days - sometimes battery just dies overnight, it freezes, chrome takes forever to open up, etc
Can someone recommend the most stable ROM on Jellybean?
Thank you!

You want stable JB ROM? Stick with Stock then. No custom ROM can be more stable or smooth than that. Also stock kernel will go really nice with it. Don't flash any custom ROM or kernel, if customization isn't what you want.

You could get Stock pre-release Jelly Bean ROM here.
Again, if stable and smoothness is what you need and not the customization, go with stock. I know pre-release means that it might be buggy, but from what I heard, it is very stable and feels like a official stable release.
Have a nice day
For sprint stable its tomorrow
I've been using xenon hd for at least 1 month now, and I can honestly say that I have never had a single problem, issue or bug with his rom. I've flashed at least a dozen others since Jb was released (don't want to say the names) and they all have had issues.
If stability is important, stay away from kernels. Unless you want to experiment.

What's everyone's opinion on the performance difference between 4.1 and 4.2? So far my benchmark score are a little lower but the phone feels smoother. Of course I'm also drunk. Could be a factor.
Mine stutters a lot after the update, not sure what's causing it.
I don't see 4.2 as any faster, or slower than 4.1.
It was overall smooth from factory image. It's Android Jelly Bean, what do you expect? You can install it your self and find out.

I think that they are equally smooth on stock ROM and settings but 4.1.2 was a lot smoother with franco kernel and a custom ROM.

hello, i must confess that i am reading these forums since i bought my first android phone (Desire HD) some years ago. however i have kept myself quiet and now feel it is time to chit chat around. I have a maguro (takju) nexus and i installed a 4.2 deodexed rom through CWM recovery present in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992969
the transition was smooth and everything was going well. It wasn't until i left home and due to a habit i turned on the GPS on it...and voilah...no GPS lock ..even after 5 mins. I restarted the phone hoping it would solve the issue but again no GPS lock. I am well aware that i am not the only one facing this problem so i was hoping some kind soul would guide me towards a fix for this issue? if there is one...
Hey guys currently just stock and rooted, getting antsy for something new, but like to stay samsung based any suggestions?
Im so glad you posted this.. i was about to post a question on a really good stock based rom. I'm currently using the cm10 one and it works awesome so far no issues but i would like to go back to touchwiz.
Just that the stock rom has a couple of things i really don't like. Mostly in the settings but if there was a way to tweak it i would go back.

Jedi Invasion is the best JB based rom I've tried so far. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020994
no bugs or glitches, runs perfectly, and its stock based so you get the same look as before. It's also extremely debloated. Just remember to flash Ktoonsez kernel after flashing the rom.
It may not be stock based but I have always loved CyanogenMod and I'm currently using the Unofficial CM10.1 and the only problem is that the camera doesn't work.

I've tried a bunch. My favorite so far for both performance and battery life is AOCP.
I am not a fan of TouchWiz, but on a lark I flashed the Jelly Bean TW-based Loser ROM yesterday, and I have to say I"m impressed. I might stick with this for a while.
I really like cm10 but the wifi issues and screen wake up made me flash back to stock. Still trying to find a good stable rom with decent battery life. I would rather it have fewer features with no issues than tons of features with tons of bugs.
I'm really liking LoserRom everything works out of the box, it is fast, and the battery life is looking pretty good with KT kernel. But that's all I'm looking for right now. Stock based with killer battery. Check it out.

I have used many. I have used AOKP, LiquidSmooth, CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, and ParanoidKANGDroid. I'd say out of all of them, AOKP was the smoothest, I just don't like it. On CyanogenMod, it would hang and reboot and sometimes WiFi was extremely weak, and it doesn't help that most AOSP ROMs are based off of CyanogenMod. I am waiting for CM10.1 to see what happens.

Is it possible to use a different version of the camera? OR do you have to use the version you are on? For instance I'm on 4.1.2 and like the camera with stock 4.1.1.
I'm using Slim 3.1 and I love it, I'm getting over 1 and a half day's worth of battery with normal use, texting, emails, surfing, youtube etc.
Using task650 aokp 4.1.2 with his underwear kernel is rock solid, so much customising and been getting retarded battery life usually 1.5 days with about 6 hrs on screen time. Plus able to use it for everything lots of calls, texts, navigation,wifi, youtube, gmail. Its awesome

The unofficial CM10.1 JB 4.2 for d2att (ATT version of S3) has camera working as of this morning. Apparently photosphere isn't working, but that's a pretty unnecessary feature IMHO. So far it's my favorite ROM, and aside from having to tinker with the data settings, I haven't run into any bugs.
I'm running CM10.1 (4.2.1) with KT747 and I'm getting the best battery life and performance I've ever gotten with my phone to date. This also doesn't have any of the black screen issues or anything which kept me away from vanilla android roms for awhile. All the 4.1.2 ROMs I've tried sofar speak a lot to the future of android - INCREDIBLY smooth and fluid, great battery life and awesomely stable. Especially considering they're all still in beta, it's very impressive.
Only issues are that the camera doesn't work and data can be temperamental every so often. I'm currently at 1day 5 hours, 2 hours screen on time with 46% remaining. 192mhz-1728mhz with ktoonservative.
I'm actually gunna give Task's AOKP preview a try right now. I was running it before but left because of the black screen wake issues. I was hesitant about using the preview because of the call echo issue, but it's also present in CM10.1 apparently..

If that's the case, serenity is my favorite. The one-handed operation features are fantastic.
I had miserable lag and battery life on 4.2.1. I tried every solution presented here. I flashed in every way imaginable. I did factory resets, wipes, etc, and nothing worked.
Then I downgraded to 4.1.1 and I had no more lag and got my battery life back.
I haven't even noticed a difference between the functionality of 4.2.1 and 4.1.1. Seriously! Try it!
OK.
For me battery life improved with 4.2.1 (as good with stock kernel as with Franco on 4.1.2) and I have had no issues.
Looks like I'm one of the few that didn't had any problem with 4.2.1, battery seems good as usual, no Bluetooth problem either, no lag.
I'm using everything stock and when I need to re-flash the room I use the 4.0.3 ROM.

-new clock ->4.2.1
-franco kernel 300
so i got the benefits of 4.2.1 and the performance of 4.1.2
new lockscreen of 4.2.1 is senseless in any way. performance is better on 4.1.2.
the only thing i like on 4.2.1 is the cam and the clock and i got them on 4.1.2
got great batterylife, usually 3,5h displaytime. uninstalled unnecessary things. made a few synchro-optimazations and i am very happy. disabled the transitionseffects as well, no need if apps are opened up nearly instantly

I prefer 4.2.1 on my GNex (toro). But it depends which ROM you install. I generally like XenonHD version of 4.2.1, but wasn't able to come up with a configuration that gave me really good battery life. Also, reading other threads it appears that several other 4.2 1 ROMs still have various issues. I installed Nexus Evolution 3.0 last night and it's been fantastic so far. Super smooth and every bit as slippery fast as CNA 3.8 (4.1.2) had been.... And IMO that is the best 4.1.2 toro ROM out there, and this is with over 130 apps installed.
BTW : I found that Apex Pro beta feels smoother and more responsive on the ROM than Nova does...
Back to your question though... 4.2.1 is great and I wouldn't go back to 4.1.2.

I prefer 4.2.1 but it drains more battery as 4.1.2
I wouldn't go back to 4.1.2
I prefer the stability of 4.1.2 for the way i use my phone. I seem to have better range with 4.2.1 but deal with flaky WiFi, Bluetooth and occasional lag. Battery life seems equal between the two for the way I use my phone. If they fix the radio drivers and smooth out the UI, I would prefer 4.2.x.
Wow. 4.2.1 shouldnt be in a stage like you people say, it reminds me that 4.2.1 is beta, which it isnt. i dunno if 4.2.2 is out yet but it must fix this bugs. also, Google is starting to not care with the GNex anynore because the N4 is out.

I'm still using 4.1.2 because for me it's more fluid. 4.2.1 seems a ROM in beta stage.

4.2.1 works fine for me. No noticeable performance difference than 4.1 and battery life is the same as long as your phone settings and usage remains the same. I use rasbean now but ran stock for about a month, performance is the same, I just prefer the theme (with white settings mod) and features of rasbean.

I'm close to going back to 4.1.2

I had random reboots with 4.2.1 stock and my nexus was quite laggy, so I came back to 4.1.2 CM10 and everything is smooth again! :good:
Do you know if the reboot bug has been solved?
Using 4.1.2 for a change but as mentioned by Many i feel it is very stable and better suited for Gnexus

4.2.1 has been stable for me. Do you know if your reboot issue was reported to Google? A lot of reboots on 4.2.1 were attributed to an app causing it.

I'm on rasbeanjelly 4.2 and I don't have any issues whatsoever. Its fast, smooth, responsive and all around awesome. So far its the best 4.2 ROM I've been on. But I'm thinking about trying evolution out. Looks tempting....4.2 is growing on me. I didn't like it all that much at first but now, wouldn't go back to anything lower then that

I've stayed with rooted stock 4.1.2 because I've read a lot of reports of trouble with Bluetooth under 4.2.1, especially when trying to connect to a car stereo. This has included poor sound quality.
Is anyone running stock 4.2.1 that is having solid Bluetooth performance in general and with their car stereo in particular? Also, I depend heavily on Stickmount to mount a flash drive via a USB OTG cable. Has this been working for folks under stock 4.2.1?
4.1.2 because it's more stable and less buggy

I have yet to even try 4.2.1 lol due to what I've read about it on here. I'm so happy with xblack that I don't feel the need to
4.2.1

I just got mine while on travel the last week, so I'm still on 4.11. Will the freeze issue described here that (mostly) pertains to earlier versions be solved when I go to 4.12? Some there said that it shouldn't even be happening in 4.1, so I'm beginning to wonder.
