Develop Bugs

new to gnex, couple questions...

so i just got a gnex, had everything from e4g, e4gt, e3d and glad to get a vanilla android device. but i mean why dip my spoon into ics when theres jb's jumping around? i think im gonna try the "perfect android" rom as well as the codename rom. what rom would you guys prefer? looking for a smooth, stable jb rom. also im pretty knowledgeable about flashing, but for instance the thread for the perfect android rom doesnt give any instructions on how to flash. will a simple data/cache/dav work just fine? thanks for your guys input. oh this is for sprint.

There's so many threads like this... You should search it up sometimes.
With that being said, if you want smooth and stable, either code name or AOKP

wipe data/factory reset, format /system if changing roms;
advanced > format /system if updating same rom, unless rom dev states otherwise.

If you're looking for performance, I'd prefer MiNCo Rom. heats up a lot though.

[Q] Slow Read/Write & Lags on CM10 Based Roms (but not on AOSP based roms)

Hi,
I've only got my Galaxy Nexus earlier this week. I tried out the stock rom for a day, then decided to switch to CM10.
It looks like whenever I flash CM10 based Roms, I experience lags when opening applications, reading/writing files to the system, however I am not experiencing these issues in any AOSP based roms.
For example, when I restore SMS by an app called SMS Backup & Restore, on AOSP based roms, the restore happens A LOT quicker than CM10 based roms.
I've tried CM10 nightly from 10/10 as well as JellyBro. I've done complete wipe (format /system /data /cache, clear dalvik, delete Android folder from internal SD). I've also tried different kernels (Franco and Trinity seemed to be populat in the forum) but didn't make any differences. I am still getting the annoying lags in CM10 based roms.
Is this normal for CM10 based roms? or is there anything I can do to fix the issue?

FYI, CM10 is an AOSP based ROM.
I've experienced nothing but smoothness from CM10. Have you been checking the MD5 sum? Could be a bad download, I've actually had to download a ROM more than once from the CM servers because the sums didn't match up.

I'm on latest paranoid droid 2.21 with trinity kernel alpha 67. oc to 1.3ghz/384gpu interactive. I've had paranoid droid since 1.6 and i've been experiencing similar lag OP described. Mainly opening google now, camera app, settings. Have not tried stock 4.1.2 rom yet... although I'm really tempted to flash back to stock since it seems to solve the lag problem for some people. I've played with all the settings but to no avail. It's frustrating seeing how people are saying their jellybean galaxy nexus is so smooth and flies while mine stutters intermittently all the time
Here's a quick video i made demonstrating some of the lag
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq7mhqmKZtA
would like to know if others have a similar experience as me. Whether this is normal behavior or is there something I need to change/tweak?

Thanks. I have checked all the MD5 sums - they all match up. I've tried a lot of roms based on CM10 - CM10 nightlies, JellyBro, Paranoid and Paranoid dark, but still the same issue.
I should have clarified what I meant by AOSP based rom. I meant any roms that doesn't have too much changes from pure AOSP (Eg. stock rom, Android Revolution and the roms by Team EOS)
When I flash CM10 based roms, even the initial setup seems to be lagging (I've been doing clean installations - format cache/system/data, clear dalvik). For example, on the initial setup screen, upon selecting the language and hit next, it takes a lot longer (probably around 10 seconds or so) to progress to the next step whereas anything based on stock takes me to the next screen within a second.
I'm not too sure if my perception of lag is different from others. I've actually come from using Galaxy S2 (I've decided to try GN after accidently dropping my S2 in the washing machine). I've never had this sorts of lags on any of the CM10 based roms on S2.
It looks like some of these lags go away if I disable fsync in the kernels, but not all the lags

Yeh, i'm having similar lags on my phone on any CM10 based roms (including Paranoid). One thing that sort of helped me was disabling fsync (on Franco's kernel). Or try flashing the stock rom and see if it gets better. At least stock rom seems to be very smooth in my case.

Yeah, I'm basically having the same problem. When I went back to stock, it seemed to be a lot faster. Granted, I did reinstall all my apps at that point. When I get a minute, I'll probably reinstall cyanogenmod 10 to see if it is still slow or not with a fresh install.

I can attest to having annoying lag in CM10 based roms such as ParanoidAndroid. It's always smooth in the beginning but as I install more apps, it just slows down considerably.
I just wiped my entire phone last night and started over running Rasbean Jelly 10.16 Build(AOSP Based) with Trinity A67 1344/307 and it's as smooth as it can get. I have about 130 apps installed and it's still fast as ****. Google now/ google search takes about 1 sec. to start versus it can take up to 5-6 seconds before on CM based roms. All apps are responsive and starts super fast.
Don't know why this occurs but it seems that some galaxy nexus' like ours just dont like the CM10 Builds..
So if anyone is having lag problems, I'd recommend the rasbean jelly + trinity combo before looking for a new phone..

Do you guys see "lags" on stock rom? Yes? Then return the device.

Hi Folks
On my device the lag is connected to how full the file system is.
If I copy lot of music on the phone then it becomes laggy
If I delete it, it is still laggy.
To recover its full smmothness I have to do a full wipe and then restore the FW.
Did anyone find the same problem?
thnx

This can be fixed with fstrim. Here is a cwm zip that runs fstrim as a script upon each boot and places a fstrim.log file in /data/local to verify it worked. It trims /system, /data and /cache.

Edit:
*Important* There are some emmc cards that have a so called "brick bug". Use this app to check and use the fstrim at your own risk.

A question about AOKP

It am using paranoid as my daily rom. And i am deciding to turn to aokp since paranoid is battery consuming.
And i know all roms are good to wipe before update. BUT is it possible to upgrade from aokp to newer version of aokp without wiping, and its still perfectly work, anyone try tho?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

It may or may not work, try it yourself.
Personally, i don't have much success recently.

you can sometimes get away with not wiping data, but occasionally when there is a large change to system files like the upcoming changes between build 4 and build 5 it is recommended to do a full wipe then install as there is a good chance that some of the new features may not work. Aokp has always said you may or may not wipe its up to you but its always recommended to wipe

For someone with battery issues, a wipe may be what the doctor ordered.
good day.

As for me who uses AOKP for months and months now, AOKP will always indicate if it needs wipe or not, but personally I'd like wipe and reinstall to prevent any possible problem

AOKP ICS is great, but if you're asking for JB version, then AOKP at the current moment is not the best choice.

what da fuq you talking about? Sounds like operator error.
good day.

Been running AOKP since build 2. As mentioned by others, its really up to you whether or not you want to do a full wipe between updates of the same ROM.
So far, I have dirty flashed between builds 2-3-4 and haven't had any issues. I always wipe cache and dalvik. You can give it a chance yourself, but if you end up having issues, you will know that you need to do a clean installation.
As for the stability of AOKP JB, it's been very smooth for me with excellent battery life (3.5 - 4 hours of SCREEN-ON time, about 16-18 hours uptime)

[Q] Considering rooting/flashing a ROM

Hey all so I'm fairly new to this whole world of rooting and flashing custom ROMs (although I know how to) and I had just a couple of questions. I was thinking of flashing CM10.1 but I'm unsure of which to flash, should I just flash the most recent snapshot or the most recent stable version(10.0)? Is it more experienced people who typically flash the nightlies? I tried posting on the CM forums but they are incredibly slow.
Also, I know that there is no "best" ROM but I would like to know: what ROM are you on? Why did you choose it?

Personally I need my ROMs to be pretty stable for work, so I won't go with nightlies because they can vary in reliability somewhat.
I had avoided CM10.1 based roms for a while because I was worried about stability. My first couple of attempts didn't go so well. Lately though I've found that most all of the 10.1 based ROMs have been pretty solid and just vary in features and looks more than anything.
After using various stock ROMs (all freeza's), I switched over to LiquidSmooth for a while. When Carbon split off I followed that thread for a little while, but the last release just didn't work that great for me and I switched back to LiquidSmooth. I've found it rock solid stable, excellent battery life, and all of the AOSP features I need.
I think you'll find an extremely wide array of opinions on the ROMs. Everyone likes different ROMs for different reasons. It took me a solid day of flashing various ROMs when I first started out, so take your time and try everything that looks interesting. There are some amazing developers around here!

Thanks! I figured there would be a range of opinions but still wanted to ask. So does that mean I have to wipe data/cache and flash the new nightly every time it comes out?

No, not necessarily. The trick though is that you can never be certain where your issues may be coming from if you don't do a clean flash (wiping everything). You'd be amazed at how many completely unexplainable little nagging bugs show after a few consecutive dirty flashes. So by dirty flashing a lot of the time you don't know if the latest version has bugs or if the dirty flash is causing little issues so you've essentially added another layer of troubleshooting difficulties to the issue. You'll also find that 99% of the time if you haven't done a clean flash the devs will tell you to do a clean before you try anything else when reporting a bug. That kind of says something.

Wipe data/cache/dalvick for a clean install. Possibly even internal sometimes. Just make sure whatever you are flashing is on the external card, such as your ROM and GAPPS.

I would HIGHLY recommend to you Liquid Smooth RC2. Its blazing fast, amazing battery life, loads of customizations, Android 4.2.2 and it is based off of CM10. Just try it out and you'll never flash another ROM!

Once you start flashing, you'll probably never want to stop.
I might suggest going with a pure CM 10.1 to get an idea of things. Then go to one of the 4.2.2 ROMs based on 10.1 so you can get a gauge of the differences. Right now though my vote is LiquidSmooth for the ROM.

I have another question, do I have to flash my gapps RIGHT after the rom? or can I just do the rom and all other apps after I reboot and see what I have
And do you recommend using goo manager? It looks nice but I feel like doing it myself with adb is a lot safer

I use TWRP which allows me to queue up multiple zips to flash in one go. So I do the ROM and gapps.
Never took the ADB route for the S3, but that's just laziness. I used this to root and install the recovery. Then I just put the ROM and gapps on the SDCard and started flashing.

AOSP ROMs stability and speed

I am "new" here, so for start warm Hello to everyone In fact I registered here 4 years ago but I used to be only reader until now.
I have a LG G3 d855, and after using CM on Desire Z many years ago and after Nexus 4 I knew from the begining that I want only AOSP based ROM. So I rooted phone, installed TWRP then Lolli-based Xenon HD and now - Euphoria. The latter one seems to be very slightly slower than former one, but more stable. But one thing came to my mind and I am not sure. What is your experience with various AOSP based ROMs? Is it worth to try another one than these two mentioned here? Perhaps I should go with pure CM 12.1, which above ROMs are based on? Just which of AOSP ROMs is the most stable and fast for you? Are there any really pure AOSP 5.1.1. ROMs in "stable" version for G3? I couldn't find one... Any suggestions are welcome.

Xenon HD is AOSP based and i use it ATM. It's stable for me and i use experimental build. I also tried Slim Minux build, wich is also AOSP based but it was kinda slower for me. Euphoria OS is CM based i think. And you do have a pure AOSP rom in android dev section, just look a little harder next time. And, as always, Google is your friend.

F-AOSP suits my taste. Absolutely smooth and battery friendly (stock aosp kernel). But there aren't many features like CM for this is based on pure AOSP. Note that this rom is very stable and proximity works very well.

CM based are cool and packed with features, but I found our AOSP versions tend to be a little smoother, eve if you have to exchange some features for performance. F-AOSP is leading in performance for me, but since I take a lot of pictures... well... you can guess. :|

I had a small problem with double screen tap wakeup with Xenon, so I gave Euphoria a shot I thought Xenon was somewhat CM based too?

Whenever I plan to take good photos, I take my "serious" camera with me, so using somewhat limited Google Camera app is not a problem for me. And another voice for F-AOSP, thanks!

Definetly, F-AOSP deserves a handful of votes. It's vanilla AOSP, very stable and the animations don't lag like CM Roms do.

Yup I'm using the F-AOSP by kjjjnob. Stable and would definitely recommend to other users.
Any one knows when updating the custom rom, do you have to wipe everything again or just clear cache ?
What is the proper procedure to update ?
I do not want to reinstall all my apps again

If you REALLY do not want your apps to dissapear, try flashing a custom rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache only. If you are coming from Stock and want to migrate ti AOSP, pretty sure you need to wipe data and not just the cache. Keep in mind that clearing the cache only will cause problems like FC or overheating. I suggest you use Titanium Backup.

I've tried to update the custom rom and only wiping cache and dalvik cache but android errors are popping up.
Perhaps I'll try backing up my apps first before wiping everything else.
Thankfully I made a backup at recovery of my rom first.

After a first day with F-AOSP I can only confirm your experience! Very fast, reliable and stable. I just used Open Gapps instead of suggested packet. The only small glitch I've noticed were web and calendar applications not conforming to material design, but I guess it is common thing for AOSP and I easily have fixed it with appropriate apps from google play.

I'm guessing F-AOSP brings AOSP apps, so flashing a stock google package (from opengapp) would replace the aosp components with google ones

Yes, it seems so. Both browser and calendar are part of AOSP ROM, but I've installed mini version of GAPPS, so only calendar gets replaced when you install newer version from Google Play. Chrome from Google Play was installed besides AOSP browser. This is somewhat a plus for CM based ROMs, where at least browser has more modern, material UI.
