I recently upgraded from 4.1.2 (12/2/12 release) to 4.2.1 (1/26/13 release). My phone is buggy as hell and I am getting a lot of error messages because I did not do a full wipe. I am going to do a full wipe but cannot see any reason to stick with 4.2.1... Fast charging is gone, I dont really like the way the toggles are laid out, less lockscreen target icons, etc... there is nothing on this update that really makes me want to keep it.
Can anyone give their opinion on 4.2.1 vs 4.1.2? I enjoyed the 4.1.2 build and found it to be very stable (thats why I kept it so long) but if 4.2.1 is faster, more stable, better battery life etc I would prolly consider trying it after the wipe.
So what are your experiences between these two? why should I go with one over the other? Does anyone have tasks latest build of 4.1.2 (+gapps) or have a suggestion for another rom (I wouldn't be apposed to trying something new!)
Important:
battery life
stability
performance
Functionality
lockscreen targets (lol)
Fast charge option was definitely nice to have as well!
Not important:
Unicorn bootscreen animation
Thanks in advance for everyone's input! :highfive:
stability and functionality are key things.
for instance, bluetooth streaming is finnicky unless you mess with it on CM10.1, seemingly fine on CM10.
bleeding edge generally means that you're leveraging stability and functionality for new features.
i'm still on 4.1.2 (ParanoidKangDroid) and enjoying the experience here. if you're not experiencing any issues, i would say stick it out until you're ready to move forward and the bugs have been identified and ironed out by early adopters.
Anybody else? I would really appreciate some input
My phone is buggy as hell and I need to flash something whether it be 2.1 or 1.2.
Does anyone have the last 4.1.2 build by task? Will I get flamed for asking on the development thread?
Sorry for all of the questions I just need some answers/direction

Don't bother asking in his development thread. If you need it, check on goo.
Here, I found it for you.

If you want my 4.1.2 release then all you need to do is follow the rules and search for it. Its been answered over a hundred times and wouldn't be hard to find. Also. Your device is buggy only because you caused that. If you refuse to follow the installation instructions then you should expect a lot of issues. Those instructions are there for good reason. Also. There is a fast charge option. You just didn't search on what you need to get it. You will come across a ton of useful information by doing so. Promise.
Currently I keep switching between Task's 4.2 and 4.1. I like a lot of things about 4.2 like chronos, the toggles, notification layout etc.. but I also switch to 4.1 a lot because I need a working BT. To be honest, Task's latest 4.1 is so freakibg smooth and stable that unless you really need 4.2, I don't see a reason to upgrade asap.
With that said, other than the BT issues, 4.2 is also perfect so it is only a matter of days/weeks before I am switching full time to 4.2.

Yea it ultimately comes down to performance and functionality, I have to use the phone for work so I think reverting to 4.1.2 is the best option. Thanks for the input!
EDIT: Two other questions... Is 10/12/12 the most up to date gaps for the build? Is the latest kt kernel optimized for this rom?

12/19 are the latest Gapps I believe. Also, there's a stock kernel for a reason. Ktoon's kernel may or may not work better on your phone, it depends on both your phone and your settings/way you use your phone.

Yeah I am going to test the stock kernel for now and may switch to Ktoon's later down the road. I seem to get better battery life and performance from it. Could you tell me where to find this Gapps version for tasks 4.1.2 aokp? I looked on the link provided a couple posts above and also searched the forum but have had no luck (also tried google).

In his OP.
You can also get them from goomanager (in the market).
Thank you guys, I find this thread informative to me. Thanks to OP as well!! :highfive:
Well I am back to 4.1, the only thing I miss from 4.2 is the chronus clock. Otherwise I am happy with my decision after seeing some of the bugs that are out there! I will end up switching eventually but I need something rock solid with little to no countability issues. Thanks everyone for all of the replies!

4.1.2 gapps: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Hello,
I've got recently this phone and I kind of like it. The only reason was the qwerty keyboard.
The biggest problem I have with this phone is the sound. Every messenger app (skype, yahoo, viber etc) has the same problem. The receiving sound is slow and ununderstandable.
The current ROM installed CM 10.1 Kernel 3.1.10 android 4.2.2
I am a newbie in installing ROMs, but if I could I'd go straight to android 2.3.5
CM 10.1 is very laggy, with lots of problems (missing calls, GPS connectivity, maps, performance etc).
Anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thank you
P.s. I searched in the forum about this issue, but didn't have much luck.
Whos CM 10.1 are you using? Also CM 10.1 is no longer being updated,I suggest you use CM 10.2 by Bubor or a 4.3+ ROM
If you need more help please post back
The sound issue is with voice recording, any action with VoIP, dictaphone, voice dialing etc. will make sound playback distorted for some time. This issue exist in any ROM after stock ICS, so if this is very important for you, you'd better stay with stock. Here's the link: Stock UCLJ3.
If you wish a newer ROM, such as CM 10.1.3 or CM 11, there is workaround with VoIP sound called Tinyalsa stack, but it broke GSM call receiving sound. You can look here.
Also, I should say that CM 10.1.3 and CM 11 I linked have almost no issues beside this VoIP. GPS working great, no missing calls, no reboots, great performance and no battery draining. But I recommend to try and find what will suit you best.

Hello,
Yes I use skype calling a lot, I need this feature working. So you are suggesting me to install the android 4 stock version from samsung, but from what I red, there is an issue with the qwerty keyboard light. If this is true, it confirms my first idea to go with android 2.3.5
Thank you for your replies!
Samsung fixed the keyboard issue and a lot of other stuff in their 2nd release of stock ice. If you see those types of complaints, they are from the first revision.
I'm running stock and the only two issues I have is general UI laggieness (which is expected since its stock with bloat and not really optimized, also running on an older phone with no project butter). Along with messaging notifications failing to make any noise at random. I'll get a new text message and the screen will light up, but doesn't viberate or make a sound at random. Incoming calls still ring just fine though.
Other than those two issues (lag really isn't an issue for me), stock works just fine for me.

Yes, I recommend to install stock 4.0.4, it's the best way I know to have working GSM and Skype calling at the same time without needing to switch alsas stacks. j.asir here using new CM with tinyalsa fix and terminal shortcut - that's a bit inconvenient, but at this time there's no better way to go if you wish to have newest android and skype calls.
I newer tried 2.3.5 ROM on this phone, so I can't comment anything about it. If you try vanilla 2.3.5, please write about the results!

Hi @Makshow, have you considered using a 2.3.5 ROM? I have considered the possibility of doing so as I've heard that our device running GB has no issues at all... or so I've heard, but I honestly haven't had the time to test it. I was considering the possibility of using Inception (Back in black), but the download links are not available. If my Glide would work smooth and with no issues with GB I'd be glad to use it. If you decide to go for a GB ROM could you please provide me with some feedback? I would really appreciate it if you do so. I am not so cool with using ICS as stock is very battery & RAM consuming. And I was not so convinced using Litekernel or literom. Literom is really cool, but it has some issues and glitches that I found very disturbing. If you do go for GB please provide me with some feedback :highfive: Regards
I got this phone with new ROM already installed, so I won't try flashing 2.3.5 GB Android, I have no experience with this at all. Sorry. And I doubt that there weren't any issue with GB, one can search older posts in these forums and see that there were many bugs and bloat and troubles.
As for working download link for INC3PTION 2.3.5 ROM, there is one from Androide3 here. You can try it.

Hello @Androide3, thank you for your response. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues? Is your battery life good? How about RAM usage?
BTW is there a specific method to install this ROM? I ask since I have never used GB. My phone came with ICS already
Thanks for details given in this thread.
Where can I find the stock android 4.0.4 second version?
An other quick question (I know this is an off topic question), is the samsunng galaxy s i9000 battery the same with the i927 batter?
Thank you

This custom rom Sh*t is very annoying. I can't get rid of this crappy cyanogenmod rom
Wasted almost a day reading pointless posts all over the internet and still nothing clear on how to go back to official samsung stock android.

its a third party app which you can use.. its very easy to use and one time setup only
just get any kitkat rom..
its stable and only stops working if the app gets killed but otherwise i have tested it extesively
try it out and i would suggest omnirom to you if u prefer simplicity.

Finally I did it!
Finally I did it!
Ok, it was very easy and I feel kind of stupid :laugh: but as for the first time I'm still proud.
The major problem I couldn't install the stock rom was because of twrp. I had a old version, 2.4 I believe.
I managed to over install cwm v 6.whatever which was compatible with i927 and re-tried to install the stock rom and IT WORKED!
The stock rom is great! the phone is much much much quicker than with cm10.2. All features work! skype calls, voice recording, map, camera rotation, etc. Will see if I will lose any missed call.
The problem, I'm facing now is the sd card and internal memory which were inverted during cm10.2, but I am sorting things out.
I'm a bit disappointed that I lost all the installed apps with cm10.2. and I can not re-install them again. I have only the option to update it which won't work. Any idea?
I'm trying to figure out the best ROM for the g3. I also understand that a good amount of this is going be opinion however this is fine by me . As personal experience with a daily ROM driver is best.
A few key features are things like longer battery life and the double tap to wake. Are really important. I'm using blisspop currently and everything outside of double tap taking forever or never working.

I purchased a phone with illusion rom already on it. Double tap works great and battery life seem great. I'm also exploring ROMS but wanted to give you my feedback.
I came from a sammy ROM that allowed me to customize everything so a little disappointing so far. not even sure if xposed works on this phone.

xposed definitely works on G3. I have 6 modules activated, and looks to me that the repository is the same as sammy. I'm running stock rooted, with SkyDragon kernel 1.61. LG is definitely different, but even stock is almost half size of full touchwiz.

I'm using stock rooted 10r, with skydragon 1.61 kernel untouched. I tried using the AOSP/CM/PA 5.whatever ROMS, and had too much instability and compatibility problems. My guess is that either you are trying the wrong version of the framework, or it is incompatible with the Rom you are using. Search the illusion thread, and I think they may have a Q&A in the general section. I have been running this for a week or more with no issues whatever. Good luck :good:
Illusion is a Lollipop Rom. You have to use the Xposed alpha for lollipop and not the standard release. Search xda and you'll find a read only thread from the dev...And a mess of a discussion forum. There are issues with Xposed alpha & a few LG apps, so use with caution if you flash an LG Lollipop Rom...notably smart cover and a couple weather apps.
Today, I went back to the Stock rom, Lg G3 marshmallow... even tho i have bloatwares of Tmobile and other apps, the performance is smooth, battery is good also i found that the phone doesn't get hot on the back like when using custom roms.
I have been using different custom roms, like N&N, Fulmics 5.3 and 6.0 ... etc but all had the issue of getting my phone super hot and not smooth as stock.
Are you using a custom rom for Lg g3?
If yes, which one and why you choose it over the stock? pros and cons of the custom rom?
Thanks!

I been off of stock for awhile now. I rooted my phone and flashed a custom rom within two weeks. Way too much bloatware on stock. I tried a few roms. My favourite was Dirty Unicorns, but I am on Slimsabre 5.1.1. now. I am considering trying Paranoid Android to see how it is. Plus right now I am running without gapps, which is another advantage to custom roms. My battery life has greatly improved and I love it without Google Play Services. I prefer the AOSP roms over even stock roms like Fulmics. I tried Fulmics and I wasn't really impressed with it. More customization I have found, and I like the custom kernels settings that are available. Only thing I do miss is the knock code feature. It was so much easier and faster to unlock the phone that way. I had overheating issues as well. Once I lowered my resolution to 1080p the overheating woes were done.

well.. AOSP has a big disadvantage for me because of the Camera quality, a lot of force close and the lack of features, IR blaster and keyboard...but i guess some were ported?... and i guess the knock code feature can be added through xposed? i remember seeing a module there.
Also, not sure i can live without gapps, for updates and looking for apps and also the voice commands, make the phone smart, useful and fun.
overheating issues with aosp?
At the end, we are going to end up with AOSP one day because of Nougat won't be supported by snapdragon 801... and CM is doing a good job with it but it seems that what they are going to port is just some features and the UI... which makes it quiet hard to leave the full stock rom for AOSP .

Yes the camera quality suffers but for me, I don't use the camera really so I am fine with it. The knock code from xposed only works when the screen is on, which defeats the purpose of the knock code I think. There is f-droid, and apk's that I use. Plus if I switch roms, titanium backup has my apps backed up so it saves the headache of having to install each one again. I've been getting away from Google do no Gapps is the first part. I am starting to trust open source more now. I had overheating issues but once I lowered the resolution to 1080p it fixed the issue.
I've seen several N7 ROMs for N900T, but they all seem to have bugs and/or stability problems.
Which N7 ROM works best for everyone?
Darklord? AryaMOD? Mag-Ma-NX? Phronesis? Other? Thanks for all replies and especially any detailed experiences!

It depends on your preferences really. AryaMod and Phronesis are customizable, where Mag-Ma-Nx is a pure Note 7 ROM. For me personally I use Mag-Ma-NX because to me it's the most stable and complete Note 7 experience. I could never get mobile data to work with DarkLord so I never got to experience it to provide feedback. NFC doesn't work on any of them as we have a different baseband. Also the other ROMs do not have Flipboard Breifing. There are a few fix zips you need for Bluetooth and smart stay as well as Ultradata savings amd smart manager. I am also using DarkLord kernel as it is one of the only kernels that allow you to enable greyscale. But don't use DarkLord Kernal if you like to overclock or tweak because DarkLord isn't tweakable. Mag-Ma still has Dev support the others haven't seen updates for months. Hope that helps.

For me personally I use Mag-Ma-NX because to me it's the most stable and complete Note 7 experience. I could never get mobile data to work with DarkLord so I never got to experience it to provide feedback. NFC doesn't work on any of them as we have a different baseband. Also the other ROMs do not have Flipboard Breifing. There are a few fix zips you need for Bluetooth and smart stay as well as Ultradata savings amd smart manager. I am also using DarkLord kernel as it is one of the only kernels that allow you to enable greyscale. But don't use DarkLord Kernal if you like to overclock or tweak because DarkLord isn't tweakable. Mag-Ma still has Dev support the others haven't seen updates for months. Hope that helps.

Thank you! I guess Darklord Kernel plays well with MagMa? That's the ROM I ended up with. Couple issues (camera keeps FC'ing, something keeps waking the screen, couple other small gripes) but I'm new to it so there might be fixes.
Does DarkLord Kernel have solid performance and battery on MagMa? Thanks!

Dark Lord Kernel does well for my use. The kernel that comes with MagMa would do better for you if you have knowledge of over clocking and tweaking for performance and better battery life. I'm not a gamer so I have no need for that. The camera issue seems to be more stable when selecting the S7edge version from aroma installer. The Note 7 camera is sketchy. I haven't experienced the screen waking issue but I do know there is a Smart Stay zip fix floating around in that thread that could help with that. There is also a setting, Keep Screen Turned Off, that you could activate under the Dispay setting that may help too. Good luck to you bro.

Great to know. i don't game either, just want stable performance and battery. I'll try Dark Lord Kernel. Yeah, the N7 or S7E cameras gave me nothing but problems in MagMa. I listed them out there, but basically they crashed too much and didn't give real benefit over N4 camera. NXTeam vastly improved the N7 camera in the latest MagMa release (UX), but it still has a delay on tap focus. That ruins it for me. Only the N4 camera does instant tap focus. Also, MagMa has an issue right now with resizing videos for text. Can't do it unless you record the video in text quality directly from Messages. Surprised at that, but hopefully it'll get fixed in a future release.
I'll try the kernel. Thanks!
Seems everyone I try, I get a bootloop once the SIM is in. I'm on att with n900t phone. Any ideas?
