[Q] The lag is killing me. - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(I'm Dutch, so my English isn't anywhere near perfect, I'll try to explain my issue as good as possible)
The past month I have been dealing with a very annoying kind of lag on my LG G3. After trying to unroot my Nexus 5, I absolutely destroyed it and lots of things went wrong. After that, my phone wouldn't boot up anymore and I had to buy a new one, which was the LG G3. The phone looks good and all, and the specs are great, but my experience with the interface is that it tends to be very choppy and lags frequently. Since a few days my WhatsApp starts lagging as well. Whenever I want to send a message to someone, I start typing as usual, but after the first letter it freezes for a second or 1-2, and then it starts typing again. This is very frustrating because this causes me to make a lot of typos. My phone tends to freeze a lot in general, and in the 6 months I've had the G3, I had to take out the battery like 3 or 4 times already, because I couldn't turn if off manually.
I've attempted several things to solve it, like installing certain apps, deleting all unncessesary pictures/videos in order to clear up space, deleting all apps I never use. Nothing seems to work, though. In my opinion, despite the fact that the LG G3 is better when you look at the specs, the Nexus 5 will remain to be my number 1 favourite phone, because I have never experienced any kind of horrible lag like I do on my LG G3. It's too late though, now I have to deal with this phone for the time being, until I can afford a new one.
So, what should I do? Should I root my phone and install a custom ROM that increases overall performance and eliminates lag? Or are there any other things I should consider? Please let me know guys, I would really appreciate some kind help right here <3

I read somewhere that the LG keyboard lags upon typing if you have more than 2 languages set up. Try to reduce to one language only.

Thanks for the suggestion. Though, my LG-keyboard only has the Dutch language set up, no other language is selected. Tried using other keyboard such as Google Keyboard and Swiftkey, but to no avail unfortunately.

Ive found that Kit Kat is a lot more stable for the G3, I have the D850

Never had an experience like what you have. I think you can try to uninstall the necessary apps to check if it's caused by some of them, switch to another input method like Google keyboard to get rid of the type lagging. Good luck.

I've just got the phone to see how it performs and I'm struggling with the lag all around the system. Apps can take an age to open, the gallery is especially slow. There's just a distinct lack of smoothness.
I'm coming from the OPO, so have been blessed with the AOSP experience. I may flash an AOSP ROM, but I want to test the camera's true potential.
Ant recommendations? I'm trying out Chupa Chups 4.2 for the time being to see if that is any better.

For @lynxboy I recommend BlissPop ROM, I'm using it and only wished I'd gone AOSP sooner. I'm also using the Motorola Camera apk which has all the Camera options of stock plus more. BlissPop also comes with its own camera based off CM and you can also install the Google Camera so you have 3 options there.
@Stefalicious There's not much you can do on stock to get rid of lag mate, I recommend you root and install a custom ROM. If you like the stock interface and layout you can flash something like CloudyG3 that is based off stock, otherwise BlissPop is amazing and is AOSP-Based.

How's the camera quality on AOSP though? I've been searching and keep reading that there's a significant hit in the output quality of images.
Regards.

@lynxboy depends on the Camera app you use. Personally, I use the Motorola one and get fantastic photos with the laser focus and either 1080p or 4k video is available so no issues there.
In the G3 General section there's a dedicated "Photos taken with the G3" thread so maybe if you asked in there for samples from people using AOSP ROMs you might get some replies?

Just an update. I installed Chupa Chups 4.2 and performed further debloating by uninstalling the majority of the LG apps including home, keyboard and messaging etc.
Now running Nova (material beta) and have built up the cache for most apps. There's still lag on system apps like Gallery and Phone, but it's much better than it was out of the box.
I guess the Korean OEM skins will never match AOSP for pure fluidity, but maybe I can cope with this for the time being.
I can always go back to the OPO if needs be.

i got a G3 a few days ago, cheap, as a backup phone to my M8. was really surprised at lag on the G3 like others, thought it would be a helluva lot smoother. originally ran stock, now running Cloudy 2.2 and Nova launcher in which IMHO, don't see any noticeable different from LG stock, although battery life is marginally better.
i did notice that running any live wallpaper will lag the homescreen considerably, no big deal, but for a phone of this calibre, should not be an issue. my M8 has never missed a beat on anything.

Thank you all for the great replies. It's both good and bad to see that I am not the only one dealing with these lags. I followed iDefalt's advice and decided to root my LG G3, install the TWRP custom recovery and flash a custom ROM. My personal preference went to CM12, just because of the looks. I haven't really looked at CloudyG3, and I don't know how CM12 and CloudyG3 compare to each other, but so far I must say that I am VERY impressed with CyanogenMod12. The performance has improved by a mile, I feel that the battery life has gone up slightly too, and of course the UI looks so sexy, just like it would on a Nexus 6 with Lollipop. I love it. Even my homescreen looks sexy!

Stock CM-12 is bug ridden just beware, most AOSP ROMs like BlissPop, etc. Have better battery life, overall better performance, and often fix the bugs in the stock CM-12 builds, so in all honesty it goes:
Custom-AOSP ROM > CM-12 > Custom Stock-Based ROM > Stock w/root > Stock
Anything is an upgrade from stock though. CloudyG3 is stock-based, not AOSP, just for future reference
For anyone looking for even more performance, you can install a custom kernel for your ROM. In CM-12's case, being AOSP-based, you can install the 777 kernel by 777-Jon, or the Furnace kernel. Both work really well, and BlissPop comes with the 777 kernel included in the ROM because it's that good.
Glad to see it got sorted out, I'm available for anymore questions!

You can even get AOSP skins and themes for stock-based Custom ROMs, so if you like the look of AOSP but want the features of the stock-based custom ROMs... They're available!

To be fair it's using a GPU that was designed to push 1080p displays, not 1440p/Quad-HD displays, so a live-wallpaper running on a stock kernel will push the GPU. The reason your M8 runs better is because even though it's the same CPU and GPU underneath, the screen is only 1080p and not 1440p, therefore the GPU doesn't have to power nearly as many pixels (Twice as less, in fact. ) But if you want even more performance, you can install a custom stock-based kernel like the ChupaChups kernel that works with all Stock-Based custom ROMs and optimizes things a bit better

CM7 vs. MIUI

Which is the best?
Most (including myself) will say it comes down to what you prefer. I prefer miui because of some of the built in features (launcher, t9 dialer, free themes, lockscreen opens directly to a new message, built in sms popup). Some hate miui cause of the iphone resemblance. I would just recommend you try them both. It's really impossible to say if one is better than the other because they are so different in appearance and features.
I prefer cm7. Miui is basically an iPhone clone, and if that was what I wanted, i would buy an iPhone.

Having spent time with both, and liking Miui, I've gone back to CM 7.
Miui is great for the customizing and has a lot of theme support out there, but the lack of the launcher with app drawer was a turn off (ended up using Adw) as well as the lockscreen was something I could never get to my liking.
I did like the popup Sms alot... The big reason why I switched, I go to the gym every morning and use my phone for an mp3 player...the last three days of using Miui, I kept getting freeze ups with the Miui music player. Could have been kernel related but I'm using the same kernel with CM 7 (tiamat) with no issues, but I'm also using Player Pro (which I could have used with Miui). I hadn't planned on staying with Cm 7, but after using it for the past week, I'm really happy with it now, and will continue to use at as my daily driver. I may flash Miui again to experiment though from time to time I do still keep a part of Miui in my phone though... I really like the Miui Camera app

I love miui animations and the settings is better looking. I use launcher pro and its awesome.
To fix the music, go into settings after it freezes and reboots and clear the data in the music app.
I love all the different lock screens and how simple it is. This is not an iPhone with launcher pro. It's android after being cleaned up.

What makes MIUI more customizable then CM7??
I have tried out both and feel like CM7 has more features. Can anyone fill me, or anyone else who is curious, about main features then separate these two roms?
I am currently running Skyraider, but feel myself drifting back to one of the two mentioned before.

Miui has a fully supported theme app that does way more than the cm7 one. I had a lock screen that could open 10 different apps...the notification bar is more efficient too

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this Knipp, as I am still trying to learn as I go. I more or less try to teach myself everything, and have done a pretty good job so far, in my eyes at least.
But, when you say "fully supported theme app", i am no so sure i understand what you mean. Does that mean, MIUI has themes with apps built into them?
I appreciate the time you take to reply to my question.

I love MIUI, mainly because it looks better aesthetically, but that's just my opinion. CM7 is great too.
The deal with MIUI themes is, you can download several different themes and use aspects from each for different things (e.g. use one theme's lockscreen with another theme's notification bar, and a third's icons,etc.)
I find MIUI to be much more useable and stable too.
MIUI sometimes gets a bad rap because it CAN look like an iclone, but only if you really want it to: you don't have to theme it that way if you want it to look different.
You can change the look of everything - from the taskbar, to the kind of lock, the lockscreen background, the launcher (although I use LPP), the size and shape of the icons, sms, fonts, and even the dialler - and more. It's pretty impressive, IMHO.

Thanks for the headsup on the Music fix.I figured it had to be something crazy going on.
I ended up reflashing back to Miui just after my original post earlier today.
Added a few changes that I had been using with CM 7 and now I'm back to the Miui fold once again.
I forgot how much I really do like the Miui experience. I plan to do the update to 1.9.9 later, I'm still on 1.8.26
To the OP... I would give both a try and see which you prefer...
MiUi 1.9.9 is constantly giving me fc whenever I do anything. Not sure why. It's android.process.alcore, whatever that is. Anyone able to help me? Please pm me if you can.

For me its about the aesthetic. MIUI is ridiculously neat and crisp. Yeah I don't care for the iPhone like launcher...but oh well. I do use adw or go launcher from time to time..but the MIUI has those stock folders that are so cool. And just cause the launcher looks like an iPhone isn't so bad. Its still android. We can still do nandroid backups and flash other stuff. We can overclock our phones and play with them all day. IPhones are for yuppies, but....they are onto something with the layout/launcher. In the end it is all up to the user. CM7 is for sure something to try. Having to also flash that gapps.zip kinda is lame but but all of us like hanging out in clockwork recovery. Lol

Yuo, the overall Miui experience is something to be enjoyed. After flashing back a few days ago, I flashed back to CM7 for a few minutes last night, and the first thing that caught my eye was the overall lack of crispness so to speak. Miui sure has the crispness to it. It is a great rom. I do still like CM 7 as well though. after a little theme work it can look really good as well.

How did you theme it like this?
anyone using miui with the latest JDKernal? is it better with JDkernal or Tiamat?
Thanks
Honestly its all based on what you want. If you want something more iPhone like go with Miui if not go CM7. Personally i like stock Sense 3.0 so i'm running Virtuous Unity.

I was running the latest version of Tiamat and ran across someone using JD Nightly and was professing "Incredible" battery life. So I started test-driving that kernal late yesterday. So far, I'm not seeing anything incredible, but I'm going to give it a couple days to "settle" before passing judgement.

[Q] Need advice in switching from CM7 to MIUI

I'm mostly a lurker and try not to post much since most any question I have has already been answered (I've spent hundreds of hours on here but only posted a couple of screenshots), but I am looking for a little advice. I have been running CM7 with Tiomat kernel on my Evo for about 2-3 weeks and am pretty happy for the most part, but now I'm getting itchy to try out MIUI for the first time.
1. How does this forum infect people with the insatiable urge to constantly mod? ;-)
2. Any tips on a smooth(ish) transition? This is a pretty subjective question but I figure I will learn more from your answers than in dozens more hours poking around.
You'll be hard pressed to go back to CM.
Get the newest MIUI from MIUI.US
Use Aman Ra, Wipe Everything except SD Card and Battery Stats, if you're not fully charged. Flash MIUI then DT A2SD, if you're partitioned, boot up.
Let it settle, Reboot to Recovery, Flash Kernel (Tiamat 4.1.0 and 3.3.7 Are recommended)
Boot up And have at it.
Hey bonillamktg,
Ive used Miui for a few months as a daily driver and to be honest i loved it, its a simple interface that is easy to use but filled with features. You can overclock it stock with set cpu , out of all the roms i have tried so far i would say it was the smoothest, that flowed the best, the only issue i had was some problems with video recording. but besides that it gave me the best battery life i have ever had over 24 hours on a single charge with the stock evo battery. personally i would recommend it, and I liked it better then CM7 "only my option of course". But I say give it a shot, just nandroid up before hand so you can flash back if you dont like it!
Enjoy, hope I somewhat helped lol
Thanks, HipKat! I just read through your entire Ultimate Guide to Everything Evo 4G and learned a ton. That is probably the single most valuable post I've seen on any forum.
I've already been using Tiamat 4.1.0 and it has been good to me, so I'm glad to hear that it works well with MIUI. I fell asleep soon after posting this but I'm up now so I'll let y'all know the results.
Stevo, your description is exactly what I keep seeing over and over that makes me want to give it a shot. I feel like my setup now is a bit clumsy, it gets the job done but I have to go to 20 different places to tweak everything. Thanks! I'll let you know what the end result looks like!

With or without SBC?
I only use SBC
Yeah and thats what I was reading all about before I gave it a shot to. I say go for it and give it a flash, it really is a nice smooth rom. One thing I forgot to add before when ever I use a sense rom I am normally getting around 150mb free ram, but on MIUI I was getting easily 250mb! & yeah I feel ya, its always a pain to tweak everything to perfection. Well hopefully Miui works out for ya! Your welcome, an thanks for keeping me updated on your journey haha. Good luck
HipKat, wondering if you would know why I'm having an issue. I was actually hoping that this type of feature might be built into MIUI, but I've been using Wallpaper Wizardrii for a little while now because it crops properly for non-scrolling wallpaper and doesn't pixelate...at least not until now. With CM7 & ADW.EX, it worked perfectly, but now, it is pixelating horribly. It's not the images, they are the same ones I used before that worked well.

In ADW ex, do you have the wallpaper hack option turned off? I think that option has something to do with wallpaper quality or color depth or something. You can also try Superwall lite or MultiPicture LWP. They're both live wallpapers, but I've seen no battery drain with either and I've used both. Superwall might be better since you're just using one image.
I get amazing wallpaper quality with MIUI, especially on the default launcher. Clear defaults for ADW or use a home switcher app to see what the wallpaper looks like on the default launcher with the same app. If it looks fine on the stock launcher, it could have something to do with your install of or settings in ADW.
Supersonic Evo 4G | MIUI | Tapatalk
I tried turning off the wallpaper hack and then went back to an image I used to get clearly and it was split in two, basically the left half of the image was moved over to the right.
You are right in how impressive the image quality is on MIUI's stock programming, even using ADW. If I really wanted to, I'd take an image editor, even something basic like MS Paint, and edit an image so it'd be centered where I want it. I change my wallpaper too often for that, though.
I found the Flikie Wallpapers app which has some great wallpapers, but I'll remember Superwall Lite for the future.
Thanks so much for the advice!
Here is where I am at now. I like the combination of Minimalistic Text, Missed It! and Quick Agenda that I put together at the top. I wish I could've integrated the SwitchPro widget into it, but it isn't scaling right for me (It leaves a big gap that I don't like). It's also not letting me edit the images for the switches, which I want to do before integrating it up there.

well i for one have tried the tiomat kernel on the MIUI rom and so far I noticed that my battery drained a little faster than usual. The one thing i did like about it was that i was able to use the hdmi mirroring. But I went back to cyn kernel with miui in the end (^_^)
miui is awesome. i love how many pink themesbthere are...yes im a girl...and how i can customize the theme the way i want it. i promise that you will be addicted. its a lot better than any other rom, and im a flash maniac. i do have a question maybe someone can help me, I'm on the latest miui 1.12.9 when I do group text messaging it force closes? What gives? Any ideas?

Well, unless you use the extended settings, wall paper on MIUI does scroll, so maybe the images you're using are being resized improperly. FYI, and you probably know this, but the wall paper size on scrolling desktops for the EVO are 960px x 800px @72 dpi. 480 x 800 for lock screens.
BTW, you should lose the background on your Minimalistic text. or at least turn the opacity way down.
Just saw your post now, and hopefully hipkat can help you more with this, but i think your issue is to do with the rom itself. That is one downside of Miui there is no 720 picture taking and I really want to say the rom it's self has less resolution to it, when using it i did have a lot of low quality things images, and after flashing back to a sense rom I noticed much better quality images within pictures my backrounds and even just certain apps.
Hope that helps a little, is it just wallpaper your having issues with or is it other images?
MIUI is a 180 degree spin from CM completely different but its real nice you will enjoy it very stable and complete. The 1.11.18 version worked great for me then i tried 1.11.25 and had too many issues. By the way can some1 hlp me get a copy of .18 or .12 just to have? I cant seem to find it anywere and i didit save a copy. Thanks.

One reason why I don't use MIUI is because it doesn't have 4G support. So if you use 4G routinely, you may miss it.
True that. No 4G. For me, I don't have it here, anyhow, and have access to WiFi all the time, home and work

[ROM] OverDrive - Put your phone into OverDrive

Welcome to OverDrive
OverDrive is a ROM me and a few people have been working on for the past few months. This ROM poped-up first in Android Central by me Redbaron, The reason this poped-up was the main fact that there are only a hand full of ROMs for the LG Optimus V, and I am a flashing junkie, meaning I change ROMs like I chew gum, chew it up until the flavor is gone, then spit it out. So here is a ROM created from Stock, and built from the ground up. Having both tested to work on new and older Optimus V's in this thread you can find StockOV which is a rooted and modified running Android 2.2.1 updates are coming soon for this ROM. As for OverDrive, OverDrive is a heavenly modified ROM ported from Stock, running Android 2.2.2 removed all VM's stock apps, kept the Activate app, imported modules and files from kernels for optimum use and performance.​
I AM NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR FLAWS IN YOUR PHONE, NOR BRICKED PHONES, YOU DO WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE BECAUSE YOU DO IT. A LITTLE KNOWN FACT DO NOT LG FACTORY RESET!!! UNDER ADVANCED MENU. DO NOT!!​
StockOV v2.2.1 [v1.1 +Picasticks]

Interesting let me look into that, as for a launcher, I know ADW works great. Please try out GoEX and see what happens, maybe let me know what happens?
Thank you for the complements
Hi there yes im running go launcher i like it. I think when there is alot of apps you have that illusion that its faster because of scrolling. I use horizontal launcher pro setting on this and its pretty nice too. But so far scrolling sideways works best for me. ADW is nice too. The kernel works nice for me too i use 480/806. Battery still seems to be good
I know exactly what you mean, I'm currently working on a custom kernel for OverDrive, I am also working on a custom ROM
I just bought my Optimus V and roms Display a Blackscreen. I can tell they are booting and things seem to work based on sounds but the video drivers are not working with this new phone.
Scratch That, I Just Tried To Install It And It Won't Load For Me Either. Just Getting The Black LG Screen, Please Help (It Was The 2.2.2 Version)
Edit: I'm Trying The v1.0 Now.
Edit: v1.0 Works But 2.2.2 Is What I'm Looking For.
Very interesting, I'm assuming both of you have newer Optimus V phones. Am I correct about this? If so then I need to investigate this issue, because this ROM has been known to work on both old and new phones. So all you guys get is a black screen yet you can hear the start up sounds? Sounds like my kernel needs the latest display drivers for the new Optimus V.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA
Don't know how handy you are with a kernel but I have but two requests if at all possible.
Multitouch typing is a bit of a pain on the OV. Alot of the times close taps (like C+H on the keyboard) get registered as a slide. Sometimes even further away keys like U+P. Dunno if its possible to fix that in the kernel but it would solve a major annoyance of mine.
The other, being implementation of "Deep Idle". I figured since CDMA eats more battery than GSM when connected, it could grant some extra time on battery.
And lastly, good luck on the ROM. I am stuck with Froyo due to IHO performance/battery woes and outside of my failed attempts to theme BumbleBee as Gingerbread, I've had nothing to look forward to. Will be testing more when you have your kernel up to go with the ROM.
One last Q Iforgot to ask. With regards to your current Stock version, is the Time Without Signal bug fixed there? Overclocking is of no real use to me, so flashing the BB kernel does me no good _for now_ (I could just use BB! ).

Yeah I just bought my phone about a week ago. I can hear the Start up sound and even unlock the phone and start to dial. The Screen is on I can see the back light but The Screen is completely Black. I would assume this is due to the Display Driver issue.

Thank you for your input, every peace of detail helps.
I have been investigating this problem ever since you posted the bug, It would seem the stock kernel is meant for the older phone, but this is an easy quick fix, Give me today to fix this and I will release an update today. Thank you again for your detailed bug report.

I'm a little bit new to kernel development, yet I have experience but I just cracked the book on linux kernels which is the same basis of Android kernels, I can't promise anything, but I can do my best. The multi-touch might not be that hard to work on, as for the "Deep Idle" I will be looking into this and all about it, I have been working on perfecting my ROM(s) before continuing and finishing my kernel development, but I have taken your input into consideration, I think having more then 2 points for multi-touch will be a great advantage, but lets see what I can do. I have no team, no help, and still learning in the process, there are so many things to learn and so little time. As for the "Time Without Signal" I have found this fix for that problem, I don't think my StockOV ROM has the fix yet, because I did port it from the Stock Optimus V ROM. So I will be adding that to StockOV.
Hmm, ok. Obijohn had fixed the TWS bug in the kernel itself; would be helpful to have his BB kernel source. Dunno where he got/how he did the patch though. Would be much better than using the app.
As for multitouch, I think it's just how the phone handles the proximity of the two points. Unsure myself, I am just a power user, but I don't think the phone is capable of more than two points.
I wish your ROMs well. I'll be lying in the bushes in wait to test.
Updated StockOV 1.0 to 1.1!!!
StockOV has been updated to v1.1

I've been running Bumblebee 2.4 ever since release, and I've tried loads of other ROMS. They all are either too bloated, too slow, crash too often, or have features missing. I've been running 1.1 ever since release and I'm impressed. Works great - fast, and no problems. The new go-to ROM.

You need an Overclocking app,
Search the market for
OverclockWidget, or CPU Tuner.
You can also use ROM Toolbox.
I don't add these apps because everyone uses different overclocking programs, I didn't want another app that takes up space.
Just for the convenience of the user,
Got it. Thanks for the quick reply.

Straight after the OTA, I didn't think it was very smooth - it was almost a bit stuttery at times - but after 15 minutes use, it really perked up and the speed difference is now very noticeable. (I don't know whether wiping the cache partition after the OTA might help that too.) I've been using it continuously since last night and it's definitely much more responsive, especially switching between tasks using the soft key, and jumping between the home screen and the app list and on-screen menus and such.
VERY smooth.
For those that say iphone and wp7 are so smooth blah blah blah jelly bean its super smooth and definately on par with other OS now.
All of the native apps run butter smooth.
Some 3rd party apps still have a bit of stutter with scrolling etc but thats the app not the OS.
Very impressed with what google have done with the triple buffering.

Just as an FYI, the first 15 min. stutter/slow down is most likely due to background sync that the phone is doing. It won't have much of an indication to the user, since it's "background" sync.

I think it is much smoother than it was before on ICS. Project Butter really does its job very well!

At the first time I thought the 'smooth' was such a joke. But after minutes, like neil alexander said, it's very different and very smoothness !!!! :victory:

I am going to be totally honest with you. I was extremely disappointed with JB. I tried it for the first time yesterday (Jelly Belly v3) and I must say it is rather choppy in some areas. Ex. When swiping between home screens (stock launcher) it for some reason decides to get stuck or it pauses on a home screen and as a result you have to swipe a second time just to make it to the next screen. This only happens when swiping at a fast pace though. On the other hand on ICS this does not occur not matter how fast you swipe between screens.
Aside from that problem everything else does seem noticeably "smoother" Ex. the stock browser, pinch 2 zoom, and overall scrolling is somewhat more fluid. But if I were asked if it was worth upgrading to JB...I would respond by saying no...not at this point. Which is why I decided to flash back to aokp b39 this morning. I would much rather wait for an aokp build. A lot of apps are incompatible or do not work as intended at this point...no surprise there since this a new release. Just to be fair though I would say Google did a great job overall. Just give it a little time and all things will be sorted out by aokp and cm10. JB is only going to get better in the next few months. As of now I will just keep waiting patiently for the next aokp build.

Leave it with the stock kernel. thats the smoothest youre gonna get. i was with franco before but its much better on stock for now.
Jelly Bean is super smooth on the Galaxy Nexus. For me the biggest improvements are in the app switcher and lockscreen which used to lag horribly sometimes and now work instantly without a hitch.
Some 3rd party apps still aren't smooth. For example Opera has always had and still has really choppy looking animations.
Amazing smooth for me, even the xda app(that used to lag horribly) flies

Every phone handles things differently, but I would suggest flashing a no-frills, pure AOSP build, like mROM, if you want to test drive JB. Some of these ROMs have extra tweaks and features that may hamper performance, and alter your experience...check out a pure, stock rooted build, and you may change your mind.

I don't think JB is that much of an improvement, it is smoother but nothing groundbreaking.
Only two things I like is the new voice search and the new transitions.

I also was expecting a much more smooth experience. But I think it will get better with future updates.
The biggest complain I have is the responsiveness of the touch. I'm a fast writer and I notice that the screen response to touch isn't the same as it was in 4.0.4. I'm using SwiftKey 3.
I notice that some touch events aren't processed/detected and this makes me miss some key touches. Have you notice something like that?

Very smooth. Noticeably smoother than ICS. No problems with micro-lag or keyboard lag or anything on stock OTA, stock kernel. Absolutely love it.
This is how i felt after i got Jellybean:

Thinking of going to custom roms, have some questions

I'm getting dissatisfied with my phone as time goes on. First it was just battery and everything else was still great, but now it's started to produce some weird hiccups and bugs.
Even though LG's software was the best stock software I've ever used, I'm thinking of going custom roms now. The problem is ; is it really worth the hassle and risk?
If you were using stock and went custom recently , I'm waiting for your experience reports. How's battery life? How does custom stuff work (like themes,mods,etc.) and are they stable? Is the phone stable in a general manner (missing alarms,resets,etc.)? These are the most critical points, hope you ll answer.
Thanks

The stock is best for battery life.And in my opinion it has best ui.I used cm and I had a lot of sods.If you dislike the stock ui it worth to move to custom if not the stock is best.
Sorry for my english.
I agree Ive risk my phone many times and losing precious data and time and all for nothing. Stick to stock and be happy. But if you have skills in coding help the guy who made GeeMod
I love the latest CM11 mods, I'm currently using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647660
Very stable, never misses alarms. Battery life is fair, lasts a full day with regular use. Make sure your freegee app makes a backup of your EFS partitions if you decide to try this out, as long as you have those, you're fairly safe.
Why does everyone say stock battery is the best? Shouldn't something "more aosp" last more than an edited rom?

Maybe because they (LG) reduced the performance of the phone to get better battery life.
I'm currently using liquidsmooth gee + mirage kernel. The battery life is amazing. I could get 4h 44m screen on playing video, with 48% battery left. For comparison, here's stock battery test by gsmarena: blog.gsmarena.com/lg-optimus-g-battery-tests-are-done-here-are-the-results

In matter of "stock customized" Rom the best I've ever used so far is artmod rc3. The developer put several apps from optimus g pro with have far better ui, like contacts/dialer, just to exemplify. The battery is better than pure stock and there are no lags.
You can also install xposed framework and the gravitybox module and you gonna have several options to change, like enable navbar, change battery icons, and so on.
Now, if you wanna change to KitKat, the better option in all matters (stability, battery, camera, customization) for me is Bam Rom (before called "JellyBam" ). I've tried several aosp/aokp 4.4 based Rom, and this is the only one that works 100%. Although the battery isn't like any stock based Rom, it have enough juice to get to the end of the day.
This is my home screen on artmod, using KitKat launcher and some other stuff:

Tried a few
Hi,
I had my phone over a year and have been quite satisfied with stock. Only sometimes after the last(and only) update from LB, if I lost LTE due to bad reception location the phone would need a reboot to get network again. Performance and battery life was acceptable.
I grew bored and went custom. Was way easier that on my old Desire and Acer tablet. Didn't even hook up to PC at any point.
I tried CM11 / Carbon / Omnirom / Mahdi before going to MIUI v5.
CM11/Carbon/Mahdi : slightly lower performance than stock
Omni/MIUI : slightly better performance.
CM11/Carbon/Mahdi : needed to toggle 3G/LTE occasionally to remain on LTE
Omni: Couldn't use LTE
MIUI: Needed to use secret service menu to set LTE as option is not in UI. After that stable LTE.
I know that MIUI:
- is "just" JB
- you have to live with some chineese chars in most themes, and in theme "shop" / cannot buy themes
Other than that I love the simple "iPhonish look" that some will hate, and the ability to use themes that completely changes the apperance. Std. apps a little prettier.
MIUI is the only rom I have used long enough to evaluate battery life on, and I am happy. Performance good, cleanup/management functions great. Just two or three reboots in an month, same as stock.
May try Omni again someday if LTE suddenly works for me on that one. Also liked the looks of the std. apps on that one.

Ive used many AOSP based roms and MIUI on my G . Currently using Artmod with dark UI and latest custom settings by @dellvenues and i think so far its the best rom i have used. Very smooth and fast .Its based on stock with many tweaks , battery performance is just amazing , much better than any CM or AOSP based rom . I love the stock LG UI . Planning to stick to this until official KK rolls out .
