Hi all,
As can be seen from my signature, I'm a pretty big fan of CM, and it goes as far as compiling CM for all my devices that have CM13.
I just got my own P600 days ago, and unfortunately, in the process of setting it up I found out that CM on this device is incredibly frustrating. CM13 unofficial builds produce constant noticeable graphic stutters that heavily interfere with gaming; CM12.1, albeit having reached nightly status for quite some time, has the sleep-of-death problem. Both also tend to simply freeze, go blackscreen and/or simply reboot when using normally. It even happens right when I had just rebooted to desktop and opened a random app. I am a seasoned flashaholic, but I find myself unable to handle these.
With that said, I'd like to try out other ROMs, however choices are scarce, and I don't have much time for tedious setup and testing. Can anyone who has been using other ROMs confirm if any of them are stable enough as daily driver?
Thanks in advance for helping!

I've found the hard way out to my CM agony... I spent countless hours and data downloading and testing out literally every ROM for P600 that I can find on the web, yet nothing satisfies: some go black screen, some go choppy, some aren't compatible with App Settings...
To end the pain once and for all, I purchased another Note 10.1, but this time I went for the slightly more expensive Qualcomm variants. End up getting a T-Mobile variant (P607T), flashed CM13 nightly for lt03lte (yes, it's compatible for both P605 and P607T out of the box) and everything simply went as smooth as it should. Even HSPA+ works, although my country has a different LTE band so LTE is unavailable.
I've already found a buyer for the Exynos one for a reasonable price so I don't lose anything either.
As Exynos 7/8 still hasn't gotten any usable AOSP development yet, I think I'll give up on Exynos as a whole... Qualcomm all the way!
MARKED SOLVED.

Hey guys. I borrowed my brother's old Galaxy Nexus while my HTC One is being repaired and I couldn't help noticing it lags. Immensely. I flashed SlimKat build 3 on it and before that I ran LiquidSmooth. I was under the impression that KitKat was supposed to be less resource hungry.
Is it because it's not "official" (from Google)? Would 4.3 run better, say in the form of CM10.2.1 stable?

Try Deleting The (Google +) and if its Build in App try deleting it with Root Permission.
this Should Fix that Lag. It did For mine ^.^
The unfortunate reality is that most Galaxy Nexus units have sluggish internal storage, and any background processes that are trying to write to it while you interact with the phone can create lag in processing and the UI. It was such a relief to switch to the Nexus 5.
Mine is not lagging but not fast too.. But with the right rom and kernel and some tweaking its pretty fast for its age

I flashed back to 4.3. CM10.2 stable and now it runs better but still lagging. Not as much, though.
lets try cm11 remix .....
Let me know how it is.running slimkat right now and I'm getting pretty much decent performance. We all have to remember this phone is older. I've been trying to justify getting the nexus 5. Will wait until the price comes down a little bit

It's just the phone. My work phone is a gnex bone stock. And it lags horribly.
Mine is very fast, no lag at all, even after more than 1700 hours without rebooting :good:
Vanir 4.3.1 (final version)
.
This thread is active again. I thought I could get my One yesterday but Telecare messed up and sent me one that had even more tint than before, so I'm stuck with this until after May 9th because my carrier store closes for renovation between April 22nd and May 9th..
C'est la vie.
Since someone already opened a topic on this, I would like to chime in. This started happening too to me two days ago and it's driving me nuts. I must have done something somewhere but I just couldn't find any solutions.
As of two days ago, my Gnex started to lag since I flashed Fancy kernel r50. Serious f-ing lag. Nothing I do seems to help. I've dirty flashed my current rom (OmniMetal), I tried reflashing a previous version of the kernel like I've always done, I tried clean flashing everything again, I tried installing another rom (Paranoid Saberdroid) and whatever option available. The lag won't go away. This ain't your average lag. Even TWRP is lagging. Any suggestions?
SOLVED: It was a rewrite problem, what i did was i ran lagfix(fstrim) app and voila! Fast and speedy again.
Really happy with cm 11 remix, almost no lag.

As mentioned before some of the nexus's suffer from the degrading EMMC performance. Refer to this thread to make sure which side you are on...
hope that helps :good:
I think cm remix is the most stabile/fast ROM now
Keep in mind you came from a HTC One to a Galaxy Nexus.. That's a big loss of processing power. Another thing is if he's had it OC'd a lot the processor may be in it's final days.
My Thunderbolt gave me the same issues while I waited to get my Gnex.
I came across a used G Pad 8.3 about 10 days ago for a $130, so I decided to snag it based on the cheap price. It was rooted & running CM11 and I used it as it was for the first week as I've installed CM on many of my older devices and enjoy it. Since day one I've noticed that wifi download speeds have not been good, though Web pages, YouTube videos and the like don't seem to have any real problems? When downloading a 200mb file I see speeds of 50-130kbps and it takes roughly 20mins to finish. The same file on other Android devices I own are finishing six or seven minutes. I've tested it with various files and devices. Thinking the problem may have been related to the Rom installation by the previous owner, I downloaded "CM 11 by Infected", reflashed the base and tested with the included kernel as well as "Red Kernel". Still, the problem has remained. I haven't tried returning to the stock LG Rom since I really prefer AOSP, but I'm afraid that may be my only resort? Is this a known issue with AOSP or CM for the V500? The device is in excellent condition with no signs of wear, so I don't believe the hardware itself could be damaged. I've searched the forums thoroughly and I've seen the problem reported by another user but no one provided any replies. I'm posting as a last resort before flashing LG's official firmware, and hoping someone is familiar with this problem. Is anyone using AOSP based Roms with no wifi problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help, or offer any personal experience.
Sincerely,
Androholic
My v500 is running slimkat with redkernel and it runs at the same speed as my other devices for downloads. I have heard of certain devices not playing nice with certain routers before... Can you try a different WiFi access point to see if it only occurs with the one you normally use?
I had the same problem: turns out it was my router's fault, an old Thomson.
Try the download speed with different access points
Well I ended up flashing 4.4.2 stock rooted rom, and the wifi seems to be functioning as normal now. I never take the tablet out of the house with me, as I have an ipad air with LTE I use outside of the house. Either way I've found that after some tweaking and debloating the stock LG Rom is not so bad. I may eventually do some testing on a different router using CM, but for now at least I'll just stick with the stock rom. Thank you both for your replies, it's much appreciated.
Hi!
Got my Tab S SM-T700 8.4 yesterday. Rooted it and flashed blissrom.
What I will be using the tablet for: Mainly when I travel for watching movies and browsing internet.
Got PC at home and a mobile phone so wont be using it much unless im out travelling which doewsnt happend to often!
Im curious if people have tried lots or ROMs and got any advice which one to use?
I dont care much if its kiktkat or lollipop, I simply want a stable, well working, batteryfriendly ROM for my purposes.
Like, I know there is:
BlissPop kitkat
BlissPop lollipop
cm12 (unofficial)
cm11 (unofficial)
IronRom
also different kernels, but have no clue how much this matters (bought a used Tab S, so not afraid breaking warranty etc)
PS. Dont really mind using stock touchwiz/rom if this is the best choice.

I can't say which is most stable as I have only tried IronROM, but what I *can* say is that IronRM is very stable and has a great kernel that does well "out of the box" but is also very tweakable. Also a very active and responsive Dev.
However, I should note I have the T800, not your model.

Iron rom for T700 is still being worked on. I own a T800 soo.. Yeah. Anyway from what I experienced, Iron rom has good screen on time and sorta good standby time (screen off). Blisspop and cm12 are both beta so, not a good option now. I would recommend cm11 for if you dont like touchwiz. Though it is very stable and has good standby and screen on time and I think you can use a custom kernel on it too! So you can change the settings to the battery settings and get the most battery life. I would try cm11 with CM skyhigh kernel.
I use stock rom with mxplayer pro using hw+ decoder and I get a solid 10 hours of movie time on my sm-t700, granted I don't have the brightness sky high but that seems pretty good to me.
I hve just installed IronRom for SM-T705, and I have to say that it feels very smooth. I came from stock+root+debloat+skyhigh, which I think is the smoothest you can get with stock, and IronRom feels smoother, even with the stock kernel. I also use MXPlayer, and video playback is great.

Hey guys, thank you for the great words you spread there over the thread about my rom! I'm really pleased, that so much people are talking about the IronRom now
I never thought that
Thank you again and have a nice one

And that's not counting my posts about IronROM on Android Forums and Brighthand. Hey, when I like something, I tend to let people know. :good:
The stock Samsung ROM could have worked for this purpose too. I have watched something like 40 hours of videos so far on my T800 with stock ROM and the free MX Player. The experience has been pretty smooth. I only had to get a codec pack for my player. It plays HD videos just fine and uses up something like 10% of battery charge for every hour of run time.
The only big issue was with some youtube and netflix videos that were recorded at kind of low volume. Eventually, I rooted the device and used a hack I described in another post to increase the sound gain.
Was quite happy with my blissrom.. Now that it is discontinued.. What alternatives is there?
Dont have the time to try every different rom/kernel there is.. Maybe someone else is updated in what's best choice now?

CM12 is pretty good. Fixes on the T700 are catching up with T800. Might have less features than blisspop but its being updated
I have the Verizon flavor and passed on the upgrade due to my experience on my lg g2. My battery life went all to hell so i rolled back to kitkat and am quite happy to stay there. I'm curious as to how the upgrade is working for you on this device.
I personally love CM12.1 right now. It very (as in never) rarely crashes and for some reasons, apps seems to be more stable than on other roms. I have not experienced any battery issues and it seems to be the contrary for me because I am getting noticeably better battery life than before. Just to clarify things, I am running a V500, rooted, and running TWRP 2.8.

That was not his question...
Although I recognize some things I don't like in official Lollipop for the VK810.4G, I like it. Smoother, faster, especially [insert plug here] on my maximum debloated stock ROM in my signature below [/insert plug here]. ?I'm a function over form guy, though.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully some more will reply.
I upgraded my VK810 (Verizon) and I am not very happy with it. The battery life is similar to kitkat during normal use, but it is terrible at idle - burns 1.5%/hour overnight. It lags pretty regularly, sometimes even on the pin unlock screen for a few 5-10 seconds in the middle of entering.
I have done a full factory reset and set it up from scratch, which didn't improve the performance.
I am considering a flash of KK or even going back to JB. 4.2.2 was the most stable and bug-free version, in my opinion. I am reluctant to flash it, because it's a work tablet and I'd rather not risk bricking it. The only real reason I upgraded to LP was for the proper handling of trim on encrypted devices.
(I am not usually one to bash new releases. My Sony Z1c is incredible with LP, though it needed a factory reset to get there.)

Same here. Upgraded and not very happy with it. Has more issues connecting to hotspots in my house (issues I didn't have with KK) and it lags, a lot. Some things are certainly better, but I don't think it's any faster - if anything, just the opposite. Is anyone else having the lagging issues? I find it mostly when I'm playing games or doing things that tax the processor.
Hey XDA,
Hope all is well for everyone. I don't know how active this sub is, but I am gonna ask anyway!
I was doing some cleaning and found my old Galaxy Nexus (I9250) Maguro. I gave it to my mom to use, but then i gave her my Note 3 and now S7 edge. We are thinking of just sending this phone to an aunt but since its old and runs JB we may not even do that. I dabbed into rooting back when I had it but I am wondering what the community around the GNexus is in terms of custom roms? What is possible to do with this old phone? My only worry is that its only the 16GB version and the ram isn't alot. How well do custom roms work on the GNexus? Maybe I can update it and maybe side load AA and use AA mirror to access youtube and other things in the car, or maybe even just get it rooted and run linux, but I am wondering how performance will be? is it worth it?
Thanks
It seems to be difficult to make a ROM for this device which is fast *and* stable (especially when the battery starts deteriorating and you want to take a whole bunch of photos = constant reboots when the sudden power draw causes the power management software to freak out). Mine is now running ZeeLog's unofficial build of LineageOS 14.1 - it seems pretty stable, but 14.1 on the GNex is s-l-o-w. I only really keep it as an emergency spare, but since it's here I've been using it for streaming. In a few days when that use stops, it'll be relegated to occasional use as a Wi-Fi dongle for OSs which can't see the *actual* dongle on the computer - being tethered while that happens means the failing battery won't matter too much.
tl;dr it'll be slow, and may need frequent / continuous access to charging
I also want to repurpose my old GNEX. Any good rom suggestion ?
I'd like a fast booting rom, and just turn it into a glorified ereader... Suggestion wanted please! Thanks
