So today I decided to "downgrade" back to 4.1.2 after 4.2.2, and it's almost mindboggling how much faster and smoother it is. After switching back it feels like there is so much lag everywhere in all 4.2 versions, like what was google thinking? Oh well, I changed some of the apps to 4.2 versions, and now i have a 4.2 clone with the speed and smoothness of 4.1.2
I don't find 4.2 much slower, but I sure miss the bluetooth not disconnecting every time I turn the screen off.
I mean seriously...I force my screen to stay on it'll stay connected to my motoactv just fine. The SECOND I turn the screen off my connection dies.
Debating reverting to 4.1.2 solely for this reason.

What's your current ROM setup? Are you on plain stock?
In terms of responsiveness I would try CyanogenMod with a custom kernel. AK Kernel has a lot of performance improvements into it. Battery life is almost doubled as well. A good kernel makes all the difference.

Good. You don't know the difference, until you go back to it from 4.2, then you realize 4.2 in every ****ing variation is just a turd. I have a phone to make my life easier, not frustrating.

I tried every kernel, air kernel, diamond, purity from arakia, franco, along with roms from xenon to pure cyanogenmod to paranoidandroid. All of them had lag no matter what kernel/rom combo i used. 4.2.1 is a lot smoother, but still pales in comparison to 4.1.2.
Sounds interesting. Could you point me to a thread on how to downgrade galaxy nexus from 4.2 back to 4.1
?

Well apparently there's a bunch of threads going around about how in 4.2.2 Google increased the heap size (whatever that is) settings from 64mb and 256mb to 96mb and 384mb. Closer to Nexus 7 spec.
whatever settings got changed has been causing a ton of lag.

It's certainly helped me "cope" with the lag in 4.2.x

Your 4.2 lagginess could be related to what I found out and posted here
I'm back on AOKP 4.1.2 and it's honestly smoother than the current AOKP Milestone 1, and that ROM is pretty smooth. I'm liking 4.1.2 better than 4.2.2 honestly, the old camera app is so much better. Also like the old recent apps behavior vs the new one.

Yes, they should as they're independent of the ROM.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
To downgrade, just flash a 4.1.2 Rom. You'll have to move all of your data up from the data/media/0 folder though.
I actually just went back to 4.2.1 and there is a huge difference from 4.2.2. And I tried every and I mean every combo. Some were good but just not as polished overall. Can't bring myself to go back to 4.1.2. I like the overall aesthetic changes 4.2 brought.

I'm running BAMF since about a week ago, coming from AOKP. I'm just wondering what you guys are running cause I'm curious to see what your results are with other ROMs. And if someone wants to post a big list of all the available nexus roms, don't hesitate I'm mainly looking for battery life in a ROM, customization aren't too important, I just like my notification toggles basically.

lol.....you seriously believed him?? You can't first of all....and iOS 6.2 isn't even out.
It's part of the reason for getting a Nexus....but not exactly. Nexus are still meant to be flashed because the developer community is awesome and since it's more open source than other devices ROMs are easier to develop?? It also gets updates faster.....idk at least you have the choice to run pure stock or pure awesome ROM

I am in the same boat as you are.
On my old Captivate I was flashing a new rom almost once a week, which I still have and might update from time to time with other roms, and I also have a galaxy tab 10.1 that I flash new roms every so often but still not as often as I was doing with the Captivate.
Now, I dont know why but I flashed a rom once (I dont remember which one it was even) on my nexus and like the next day I went back to stock. Since then I kept it on stock yakju builds and the only flashing I do is when google releases stock builds to get the updates.
As long as the phone is working then I will be happy.
I have felt like you guys recently, i havent been to interested in flashing. Ive been working alot lately so i dont really have the time anymore and i just really dont care anymore. I just want my phone to run nicely and have some good battery life. So im just looking for a solid ROM to stick with and be done with flashing everything. On my nexus s i flashed every day, but since i got my galaxy nexus i went straight to AOKP and stayed there, now i got interested in trying some new stuff which lasted me a week and now im back to AOKP and i think ill just stay and stop wasting time on other ROMs. I just tried Gummy 0.9.5 and it was very laggy for me. On AOKP B29 now and ill stay for a bit. Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep them coming

Coming from the gs2 i was flashing new roms on the daily because i liked to and well because the roms never felt complete with random fc's and the promise of better things to come and well the hunger for more was always there, it would always be something glitching or fc'ing and this would be enough to convince me its time for a new rom
But the gnex on m4 and franco 110 everything works not just work but work damn well too! My friends laugh at my 5mp camera then realise ive already taken my photo with no shutter lag while their phone is still focusing the gnex is pure win in a box , for me the software hardware integration is amazing, the developers aswel have done an even better job in enhancing the experience for gnex owners. My only gripe with the gnex was not having toggle switches but aokp fixed that

What exactly are you disappointed about? Try the latest official builds of cm10 or aokp. Not a nightly or a kang.. an official build.
Try Paranoid, it looks pretty wild!
SHHHH!!!! You're not allowed to say that!
I've done the same as you. The only change I've made to stock is run nova launcher to make it a bit more purdy and personalized.
Minco is pretty nice since it's really close to stock but faster, but in the end I'd rather just run stock for peace of mind (not that Minco was unstable).
Stock based roms perform the best in my opinion. Although Bamf Paradigm and Wasabi Miui run well for me, if I run them with trinity 1344 kernel.
IMO It seems like CM and AOKP stay in the nighties phase for way too long, and bugs and stability issues take too long to fix. This has been the case on most phones I have owned. They are great innovative roms though. I find it rare when a Rom with loads and loads of features runs as good as stock based roms do. I love having features, but performance, stability and battery life are above all features for me. I can just find mods myself anyways and add them as I need.
If stock is what works best for you, run stock, there's nothing wrong with that.
Why do you want people to change your mind?

Fast reply, I don't even know what that is but anyway, Android comes down to user preference, if you enjoy stock, then rock it dude, I've tried only a handful of roms here but stock gives the most solid performance 9 out of ten times. granted I'm running Slimbean now, but I like to flash every two weeks and this rom is pretty great aside from bootup time XD.

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.

This is why I didn't upgrade until I looked at what people were saying about the update. Good thing I use a custom rom so I don't have to be nagged about it.
the problem on 4.2.1 isn´t solved^^
but same here xD i´m using 4.1.2.
got this combination:
-jellybro 4.1.2
-new camera+gallery ->4.2.1
-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

Flash 4.2.1 on your device, leave all stock apps on there and see what happens. Whatever is happening is probably caused by some 3rd-party application that isn't fully supported on 4.2.1.

All our nexus are different down to a molecular level. If Samsung quality control was letting loose devices that didn't all run the software as intended then I think we'd have much bigger issues. NO, this is NOT the same principle "as cpu"...
I do not have SOD issues at all. You can't justify you're statement one bit because you have done ZERO testing to prove otherwise. Just because you read about it in the development section doesn't mean it's true. :victory:

I just suggested to you on the 1st page that you can try... Flash 4.2.1, don't install any 3rd-party applications for several days. If you're SoD-free, then try installing your apps one by one to narrow it down.
You also failed to provide any logcats.

The only reason for the kernels change was to find the best for battery.
Still no luck

Absolutely 4.1.2 , 4.1.2 optimized for GN but 4.2 optimized for N4 .
This time I have 150 app in my GN with 4.1.2 and my device very smooth but with those app in 4.2.1 my device had very lag and had serious problems.

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 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

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.
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! Also the problem was reported to google

4.0 < 4.2 < 4.2.1 < 4.1 < 4.2.2 < 4.1.2.
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
Sv: Anyone else's phone run like garbage on 4.2.2?

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.
