Hey all
lately I noticed that my stock android 4.2.2 (not rooted) has become a bit sluggish sometimes. I like stock android but I feel as if the GNex is really running on the edge now in 2013 if I compare to the newest hi-tek android devices/Iphone 5 etc.
Could flashing a custom rom improve the speed and smoothness ? Also maybe I'd like to try out hybrid mode like you have in PA. I also heard a lot of good stuff about Sorcery, don't really know what would suit me the best.
Do you guys think rooting + flashing a custom rom would still my hunger for a new phone for some time still ?
Hope to have some tips that can move me into the right direction. Nonetheless I still love my GNex but I hate when it lags a bit sometimes..

Yes, it could. A new home launcher also could improve speed and smoothness.
Yeah, I think for sure you will be content with your phone longer if you try different ROMs on it occasionally, or even just recieving new updates to a current ROM.
sure dude why not.. if u root u can overclock and thus increasing your performance, rom selection is self choice related try every rom and kernel and stick to the one you love

What are the most performance/smoothness based roms ? Or is it more a kernel thing ? Although I don't want to experiment with 1001 settings and kernels on a rom before I get it right. I reckon that a developer puts a stable kernel together with the rom he makes and releases..

Everyone has their own favorites. I personally recommend you try the newest stable CM, or even the M series if you prefer the newest features before the are implemented in to the stable builds.
Stick to the prepackaged kernel so you don't develop issues from using a third party kernel on a ROM it wasn't designed for.
That's my preference, hope you find yours. "Best ROMs" or "smoothest ROMs" threads get closed quick around here.

Ok thx, should try out CM then maybe, seems the most logical step too. I consciously didn't use the words "best rom" , as that's indeed each one to its own. Though, smoothness is imo an objective thing.
One of the best things about flashing a custom Rom and Kernel is the Fast Charge support! Pretty much if you just use a standard USB port on your PC it will charge as fast as a wall charger.

First question... Have you rebooted in awhile?
Second question... How many background tasks are constantly running.
Custom ROM/Kernel makes sense only if you go for a minimalistic ROM/fine-tuned kernel. Honestly, Stock ROM is fine, unless you need features missing. Or look for just straight optimized ROMs like RasBeanJelly Vanilla and others that are only trying to fix bugs and not add bloat.
Kernel, pick your flavor, but always go with 'stable' ones and not nightlies if you want to avoid issues.
For me, I do Stock ROM (or would consider RasBeanJelly Vanilla) at best, and Franco Kernel (though stock is good enough).
Another point... Key Lime Pie (v. 5.0) will be announced likely in a few weeks at Google I/O 2013. Why deal with unlocking the bootloader, flashing ROMS, and Kernels, then to have to wait for source code to be released to get the newest and latest?
Bootloader was unlocked from the day I got it (to go from yakjuxw to takju). Now I just rooted my phone with custom bootloader, but it's still on stock takju. Do I still get the Google OTA's ? Iirc I need the stock bootloader for this ?
Have you tried to wipe data?
You can try this first if you like stock. If you want to try a smooth custom rom I recommend you xylon + ak kernel.

I believe TWRP and CWM will allow you to install OTAs, but you need to have stock kernel and no other system apps that are not apart of Google's stock Android. However, you wouldn't wait anyways for OTAs since you can just flash the updates that appear on XDA once they arrive. Either via fastboot or the custom recovery (if they work).
If you go to a custom ROM, you will not receive OTAs, (or shouldn't if the ROM was built right). You will have to wait for the ROM to be upgraded by the maintainer of it.
dude try something new other than stock..
CM 10.1 + ak diamond
governor = ondemand
stable,good speed..
give it a try

Not sure if by mistake but, (as of the date of this post) there's no custom bootloader for any of the GSM/LTE variants of the Google Galaxy Nexus.
What he's talking about is a custom recovery. (This needed correction so as to not to mislead readers.)

Good point you're right, sorry should have been more clear.
I'm indeed talking about a custom recovery, not bootloader. Atm I only have lockscreen policy with clock hack and SuperSU/SuperUser apps who use the root. Is this enough to prevent me from having google OTA's ? Still didn't get to flashing another rom lol, I guess I like stock. And it might be between my ears but having rebooted + rooted the phone made it feel snappier again.
Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Again, if you alter system files the OTA will fail, if it needs to update those.
Well my (noob) question was if above mentioned things such as ClockHack who need SuperSU permission altered my system files?
I am using Purity with Leankernel. Gives me a smooth experience and great battery life.
Also it has the PIE and you can use XPosed framework to get Per App DPI with any ROM like I do.
But I have tried almost all the ROMS in the development section except for a couple maybe. I keep returning to Purity, Vanir and Cataclysm most of the time when I have something important come up and I cannt flash a new ROM every other day.

Does anyone know what the Experimental kernel does?There are no informations about it in the OP of the Rom...I downloaded it but it appears to be for the Nexus 5...What is the difference between this kernel and the rom-kernel???

Who made the kernel?
After updating to the latest Mahdi rom and backing up what I had, I flashed the experimental kernel and wiped cache/dalvik.
It wouldn't boot, so I had to restore what I had.
No idea what it was supposed to do.

Yeah, if it said it was for the nexus, it wasn't going to work. Kernels should be device specific, and I am very skeptical of those that have been supposedly ported over, rather than compiled from the device's kernel source and then updated with new options.
Experimental in regards to kernel devevelopment means there are probably issues beyond the norm.

The filename is Mahdi-Hammerhead-exp-4.4.2-v1.7-23-03-2014.zip, but I thought that just meant it was somehow derived from the Nexus 5. Don't know why it would be posted in the Mahdi rom OP if it didn't have a chance of working.
To make myself clear.I said that nexus 5 thing, because the file of the kernel says hammerhead..But everything is fine..I use the rom as it is....I want to thank the dev for this amazing rom..A big thank you to all the devs..All of them have put a lot of work to their projects..I just made a question about this kernel.nothing else..Thanks for the reply..

Mahdi has a good reputation for being dependable. Glad you found something you like!
Anyone else feel JB was still the "best" version for GNEXUS?
I've been a flash addict since I got the phone. Always going for the experimental, nightly builds and such.
However, I am getting tired of my gnexus lagging, and slowing down randomly. I've always felt 4.1 JB was very responsive and good memory management for my phone. anyone feel the same way?
4.1 has been the only version of Android I've not had any issues with and I'm still running today.
I think people just get to caught up on having/running the latest/greatest Android version, when really our GN was made to run perfectly on JB 4.1.
4.2 was made for N4
4.4 for N5
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

4.1 you say?
Mine came with 4.2 so will give 4.1 a try. Battery life was not good with stock 4.2 but better with fancy kernel or any of the newer ROM.
I tried CM11, Avatar, Slim, PA, Vanir and others.

I don't think any particular Android version is "made" for a device in particular.
Yes, Jelly Bean originally debuted on the 2012 Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 saw the next major update but that doesn't mean that Android still can't run on any other device provided that the kernel and ROM are optimized for it. Those devices were just test/reference devices for development.
I have cyanogenmod Kitkat on my device and it runs as good (or better) than stock Jelly Bean.
It's like Windows 8. It runs good on some PCS, whereas on others it lags a bit.
Software is software and to the device it's all the same.
I'm also trying this theory ATM, will upgrade to a new phone soon but 4.4 has really been really slow after a while on my Gnex, even after converting to f2fs..
In other news, I now need to post in general discussion until I have enough posts to post in development so here goes.
For those of you still on 4.1, would you mind uploading and sharing the roms you are using?

i'm running omni on my toroplus now 4.4.4 and i would have to say this is much better than the stock roms (i've ran 4.1/4.2/4.3) and they all work, but i really dig the 4.4 only camera from google and i'm a version junkie...
i did try just stable releases from CM all the way back to 4.1.2 but couldn't get random things working and didn't feel like taking the time...
so far, between working 4g/3g handoff's, more stable wifi, access to the latest apps that need 4.4 (camera is the only one that comes to mind) i'll run omni...still hoping that the awesome kernel guys will get 3.4 working and we can move to android L for some of that awesome battery life

Um, "Project butter" was introduced with JB 4.1. I know everyone was after that on their ROMs...
The best Android versions for the Galaxy Nexus are definitely 4.1 and 4.3 final releases. The problems with 4.4.x that finally made me ditch it are the unfixed radio issues and subsequent battery drain. I've heard that some roms such as Dirty Unicorns, Omnirom, and Slimkat have this fixed, or at least the radio cutout issue. My favorites though that give me good battery, performance, and features are 4.1.2 LiquidJB and 4.3.1 Vanir, the latter being my daily driver.
This folder includes 4.1.2 gapps and a few other addons (flash rom, gapps, then addons):

IS there a primoc cyanogenmod 5.1 rom with custom kernel?
Nope and there never will be. Building for this device died like 2 years ago when KitKat was released

I wanted to either use AOKP or and old version of Cyanogenmod and LineageOS only has version 13 of their roms and i think they are Android 6.0. I have had performance issues on anything Android 5.0 and higher and Android 4.2.2 Official release no longer supports some of the apps that i use. Any help would be nice as Android 4.4 is kinda the sweet spot for this phone and I had the same issue with my Droid Razr. Found an old Cyanogenmod android 4.4 rom for it and its perfect. Any help would be nice. Thank you!

I do agree with you KitKat provides the best performance on these legacy 1GB memory phones but I would recommend that you use one of the two most recently updated ROMs (unlegacy android / omni), both from 2018 rather than these almost four-year-old ROMs...

So whats the difference with Tune and toro? sometimes i see it called tuna and other times toro????
There were three main variants of the GNex. The US carrier-specific ones were toro and toroplus, while the rest of the world were all maguro (despite there being many different model numbers). All three are subsets of tuna. The various custom ROM communities have tried to unify their builds as much as possible, so even where final builds are still separate, a lot of what's inside them is generic tuna.

No idea, sorry. I went from stock 4.3 to LineageOS 13 (equivalent to 6.0.1) late last year because of the Krack and BlueBorne exploits. It's my only phone, and until I get another I have no wish to switch to something else. (My usage is pretty light, so I just put up with the occasional reboot.) In hindsight, I probably should have checked out the 4.4 possibilities, but LOS was the best known custom ROM, so that's what I chose.

I currently use a Droid turbo but have a Droid razr and want to have a galaxy nexus both on KitKat in case I need to use either. I have a Droid Maxx but I broke the volume buttons on it. I had them fixed but they can break again and I just don't want to take the risk. Also because I broke them I won't be selling the phone.
