i have been running redemption rom and been very happy with it, but i have decided to explore some other roms. i installed cyanogenmod 6.1 and its been running for a few hours now. my question is........is there a break in period for newly installed roms b/c my phone has been buggy. random cursor movements, screens switching without me touching the phone. if this a bug with the cyanogenmod rom then i will be reverting back to RR!!

I do remember having similar problems while running CM6. I don't think you should give up on other ROM's just yet though
Many AOSP ROM's lack stability, but there's a bunch of really nice Sense ROM's to choose from that you'll be familiar with and also other AOSP ROM's that may prove to be more stable.
I've only flashed a couple of AOSP ROM's (MIUI and CM6, CM7) and although they were cool to have for a couple of days, I always ended up switching back to a Sense ROM.
Lots of people will have different opinions on what ROM's are best, but it's good to try them out yourself so you can see.
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.

Thanks, glad to see I'm not the only one. I'd check out Rasbean Jelly + Trinity, but I'm using this as an excuse to dump VZW and go with the Nexus 4 next week.
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.

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.

Oh thanks for the tip and do I have to wipe them in that order? I feel like it's always listed that way for a reason
Also what ROM are you on and why did you choose it?
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 think I'm just gonna go with LiquidSmooth then
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.
Ive been using the dark flo version if cm10.2 since I got my nexus 7, however when ive tried to install a custom kernel, I get a blue/turquoise screen upon reboot. Ive tried both CAF and normal versions of various kernels, but all with the same results. I tried using the AOSP kernel setting in the aroma installer, then installed some AOSP kernels, which do boot but it has the worst lag ive ever seen since my iPhone! Anyone else experienced this and know a solution? Ive searched the forum but couldn't find anything relevant
Same here: installed CM10.2 unofficial, GApps, rebooted and everything´s fine.
After installing any of the Faux-Kernels (es/m/u) and wiping Dalvik etc., I have the same screen problems and lags, which make the device unusable.
I´m searching for an overclock kernel, btw.
Thanks for your input!
im after the same thing, just an oc kernel. I even tried one with no mods, just the cpu speeds increased and had no luck
UPDATE - I read somewhere that some kernels wont work with CM versions released after oct 2nd. I tried installing a copy of dark flo from the end of September, then tried faux123's latest mainline kernel abd it booted fine! Im assuming its an incompatibility with the latest CM, so I hope the kernels get updated soon!
Thank you for the info!:good:
It´s waiting time again...
how did you get out of the turquoise screen?
Easy fix:
Uninstall CM
Install AOSP based rom
Profit
Seriously, CM has gone to crap since they moved away from aosp and started with CAF. Kernel devs shouldn't have to do extra work just for one rom, especially when said rom is going from bad to worse

Afraid your question isn't specific enough to elicit directly helpful responses. Did you flash a custom ROM and are now experiencing problems with your phone after this? If so, what kind of problems? There are far too many custom ROMs out there for a generic solution to apply and, needless to say, a good deal of personal research and caution needs to be exercised before one proceeds with a custom ROM installation.

Well yes, I did specify the ROM name. It is quite literally called Nameless ROM. The problems that I am experiencing are with the latest nightlies and this instability specifically affects the the dialler applications, sometimes it works but most times whenever I get a call on my phone I just get the pop up "Unfortunately the dialler app has stopped"
I have wiped cache and dalvik cache, reflashed the ROM and the Gapps to no avail.

Apologies. I was also being too general in my response. I checked a few Nameless fora on the web and it would appear such instabilities are not uncommon with nightly builds as is often the case with all custom ROMs still undergoing development. Your best option might be to flash a stable version or, if not out of your preference, revert to stock.

Yes I would prefer to not reverting to stock. I guess I shall be looking at other ROM's that have similar features. Thanks for your help.
