Dear friends
I will try to explain as fast as possible I installed custom ROM on my E975K the CM10.1.3 the Stable version 4.2.2 and I see it is really very fast and good but I have problem that let me feel so bad ... i have some problems in games and most of them from Gameloft like MC4 Real football 2013 and asphalt 8 I try to wipe and and but no way !!! Some people told me to use other kernel . I have problem that most kernels I see are orveclocked or have options to over clock .... My question is there safe kernel without any kind of overclock and I need it without options to overclock that what I need please .....if there is solution without change the kernel that will be more perfect !!! Thanks again ...

Dear friend hasan
I don't agree with you as the stock is not the best in game for many reasons even there is some kernels work in lower then max frequency as this kernels can be more safe then the original stock ROM ...

who said stock always runs ur game at higher freq...Download onscreen performance monitor app and yu can see the difference...for NFSMW at max it takes 3 cores to run but most of the times ly 2 cores are active....also there is a file called thermald-8064.conf in /system/etc which can be used to underclock the core to 1026 mhz which applies to all cores....If yu knw how to mod the stock rom for use everything is possible..also remember stock kernels are more safe than any custom kernels...may be it applies to ly LG devices fa sure...
No

Dear hasan
I thing there is miss understand I didn't mean that the stock kernel work at the max power but what I want to say that we must know that some developers can do good work even more better then some company's . CM is good example and even some company push customer to use non stock ROM with there weak support and update...
.... Using CM on your Optimus G let you make sure that the stock ROM is sooo bad behind it,,, I was thing different before ..
Hhhh
You let me lose my question friends any idea about kernel ???

@ramiab8,if you think an unofficial rom is better than the firmware lg provided,thrn why do you have these issues? Your post should be ignored from start,because no one will support you for a custom rom. There are so many things that could go wrong on cm/pa/aosp/aokp roms... and you have no idea what are you talking about. Could you tell me how does cm "let behind stock so bad?" For bigger results in benchmarks?who gives a crap about tests?I tried all custom roms out there,didn't missed one,but in the end i got back to stock. Why?well,for all lg features,for a stable firmware that don't crash on me when i least expect. True,it's a modded stock,but it's way better than any aosp. I play alot of games,i never encountered the slightest issues so far.

Indeed LG did a very good job in terms of gaming performance on android 4.1. Nevertheless it can be even better. I have never had those problems on CM10.2 nor on CM11. All mentioned games are running lagless, without reducing my display-brightness
maybe you can try again with another kernel?

Dear kimitza i thing that you don't know what you are talking about at all !!!! first everyone can have issues in original ROM and non stock ROM (you never heard about that !!!!) nothing can be complete be I SAID more better that is totally different !!! i thing you have no idea about what i am saying !!! and even you are talking about benchmarks !!! i didn't say any word about benchmark!!! even i didn't trust them i only trust the real use (did you ever heard about real using or not !!!) i am very hard user i find many disappointing in using the stock and these things i didn't find them in CM !!! (before i was thing like you but after test i found that is wrong) maybe as normal user you can find stock more better for you !!! if you are happy in LG features i find them like baby features!!! at the end i asked question but you are not able to answer me !!! if you thing that what i say not right for you don't answer me at all and don't try to give me lesson in something i know more better then many others !!!
Boing! Dude try latest version of Vanir 4.3.1. Thinks its the best performing aosp rom for our phone. And they're still updating, not like cm. MC4 awesome, A8 on highest settings also really good.
why did you bought a branded phone?to flash aosp based rom on it?why didn't you bought a nexus?it has vanilla on it,no "baby features". Then you wouldn't complain of laggy games on custom roms.I see what kind of power user you are ...I just don't understand how could someone complain about anything on a custom rom,without realising it's not the phone,it's the software with issues.Again, a power user would know the differences,but....what do i know?i'm a total newbie.

i know what i am ,,, and i don't want any one to tell me what i am then i said i have problems in games i didn't say lag's at all !!! you thing that the problems in games is only lags !!! are you sure that you use mobiles at all !!! i see how much you know about mobiles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then asking is shortcut to many things friend if you don't know !!!
(((I just don't understand how could someone complain about anything on a custom rom ,,,without realising it's not the phone,it's the software with issues.Again, a power user would know the differences)))
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you don't hear that many custom ROM developers ask about any issues even in games i see that you know well !!! i will let you told somebody else about your fantastic ideas, but for me i need answer from someone who really know what he said !!! not just talking words without meanings at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks cyraxx84 i will see that one ,,,
ok...i give up...you are right...a custom rom will always be better than stock...i respect the devs for their work, i supported the asylum project(this i'm very fond of,but i supported many more) both here and galaxy note,even donate. But i'm realistic. I realize a code made from scraps will never be better than the official one. simple as that. Look more into it mr "power user" and learn how things work before making affirmations. Oh,and the font you used,yea...very mature .anyway...case closed...
Greetings,
I've been around for some time, lurking mostly. And installing a ROM with ICS or JB on my Galaxy W was a wonderful way to innovate. It feels like I'm using a brand new phone, which is awesome.
I have tried Cyanogen mod and Paranoid Android and even the PAC roms. But the issue I run while using them is that my ram seems to be full most of the time, and it's filled with system apps more than my own apps. Which limits the phone seriously. I am almost unable to use Swiftkey for typing online or even messages, since it lags too much the phone.
I plan on keeping a couple of apps like a battery saver, Aviate launcher and occasionally a traffic monitor app like 3g Watchdog.I've been thinking about going back to Gingerbread versions, although new ones seem more enticing with features/apps like Google now.
I'm breaking my question in two parts:
1 - Can a more advanced android version like JB (or maybe KK) help make the system faster and the ram management more efficient? Or should I stick with a rom similar to stock?
2 - What roms do you recommend? Which Kernel? Or should I just face the fact my phone won't be able to comply with my current needs and I should ask Santa for an iPhone?
thanks

The rom crashes the settings applet everytime I try to change language to Portuguese.
Can't add widgets with aviate launcher (settings crashes)
otherwise seems alright.
Guys share your experience on stock roms and cm roms...
My view:
Stock has multiwindow support , better apps, better camera quality, has dual sim support and no customization and has to stick with one but exposed modules somehow it works.
Cm roms has better graphics on some games , better customization , has better ram management, single sim support and has poor camera and no multiwindow support with some app compatibility issue.
Guys share your things so that other guys will not get confused to choose which Rom they want to use...:beer::beer:

from my idea.....first thing ...as stock is limited to 4.2.2 only while cm has got 4.4.2(thanks to devs)
now camera u can consider as drawback!
customisation is cool
now main thing yoiu talked about multiwinddow feature!ya its not there....but wait for sometime and let carbon roms fully arrive(with halo) and other halo roms...thats actually a cool feature if i say!
as all games bugs are fixed , cm based are better!
but if u want all fancy thing!then its not a good cupcake for u...its simple and performansive! and trust me!one day you will get tired of tw things
for me...cm based things are amazing!
i never used multiwindow dat much except showoff times mahn!!! or cut and paste thing!!!!!!
eats alot of ram !!! but so looks attractive!

Agree dude and I'm on cm11 only and I love its fast smooth responsiveness and smooth gaming with improved graphics.
Sent from my GT-I9082 using Tapatalk now Free
Opened the recents app window... CM11 uses only 280MB without any background app. Stock ROM uses 70-80% of RAM on idle.
Opened Atutu and ran a benchmark... stock gets about 6500, while CM11 gets double of that, 11500 to 12000. CM is just muuuchh faster.
CM camera is worse than stock. Basically no software optimization like what you found on Samsung's camera.
For people who bought Grand for its dual SIM support, well, in my opinion it's useless because it drains so much battery... so I felt no regret when moving to CM11 with its only single sim support

personally i dont use dual sim anyways but many ppl here are requesting for dual sim support in cm roms.........we can only keep our fingers crossed ...the day these roms offer dual sim facility..........just imagine.dual sim in cm roms on grand.............:good:

audio quality are same(FYI, samsung dont use any special dolby mobile thingy or anything like that, )
first rule if u install non stock roms
1. always read every single thread and conversation , DO GOOGLE AND CHECK IF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS ACTUALLY TRUE OR NOT!
and ya...about cm's music, its same as stock mahn! its all about device capacity and few libaries for sound which are almost common in every roms(based on simple codes of android for output), rest is on hardware and limitations!
try some sound enhancers, tweak a little, search a lil, and you will get it what i am saying ! no offence mahn! sorry if rude ,dont mean to!

Personally i have felt cm roms have satisfied me better than stock roms on every count ( except DUAL SIM -- glaring ommission... which i m not using....but on the other way its only due to samsung releasing grand and we are using it and developers are working on it so that we are getting the taste of these roms...otherwise can we imagine 4.4.2 stock on grand so soon.....
was on slimbean 4.2.2 earlier and all gameloft games wrer compatible ahich earlier was not....isnt it....

One word... performance.
Owning a not-so-fast device such as Grand requires a fast ROM... It's better to lose some gimmicky Samsung features rather than suffer the lags. And Samsung is widely known for their bloated Touchwiz. The dual SIM is a worthy trade-off for me. :good:

In comparison to Xiaomi's MIUI how is the Oxygen Os?
Does it have...
Call recording option in dialler without any third party software.
Something like a security app to clean cache, scan for virus's and grant permission for apps.
Inbuilt backup and restore option which backup all user data plus apps user made data to cloud.
Power options to change power saving profile according to time and restart the sevice automatically at given time like 6am.
And if you have used both MIUI and OOS... who do you think is better?

Get a Mi phone for all those features plus a mi phone will have better support for miui roms. Oxygen os is close to stock with some little functional tweaks. it doesn't have anything fancy like miui. But if you would ask me which rom is better i would say oos. it's simple clean less gimmicky. Hope this helps you.
Hi,
If you want to try MIUI, I suggests, buy Mi5... A MIUI port won't stable than an original one.
From my perspective: MIUI is really beautiful... If you see the screenshots.... You should try it. I think, everyone tried at least once... But for daily driver? No way. If you ever used AOSP based roms (oos, cm, etc), you won't use MIUI. I'm 80% sure, that you'll replace the original launcher. Than you'll sick some annoying incompatibles... Just look at MIUI forums. Problems with pop-up windows (for example Facebook messanger), problems with Android Pay, etc, etc.
I was ordered Mi5 (4/128G), but it went to out of stock, so I got refund... That was my luck. Now, I'm a happy OP3 user, and I don't need MIUI... That's my opinion.
As someone who previously always used stock or near stock ROMS, I currently own a Xiaomi Mi5. I ran with Miui for about a few weeks, but it really frustrated the hell out of me. Yes it looks nice, but I was always finding background apps just randomly stopped working or you had to allow extra security settings. I tried Google Now Loader on it, but that randonmly stopped working. In the end, I've flashed CM on it. So much better.
Going from a stock or near stock rom to MIUI is like going from Android to Apple. I will be returning my Mi5 to stock and selling on, as I now have a OP3 on the way.
Another reason - community support for OP3 is already strong. The Mi5 support thread is a joke.

why dont you try the hos
for me OOS is better than miui. as i prefer stock android ui than heavily skinned miui.
MIUI 8 is cool- looking, feature-rich, but i just dont like the ios lookalike UX.
I have bad experiences with Oxygen in OP1 and 2, always uses CM or H20 ,
but if you are wondering about phones which running those 2 OS - Xiaomi mi5 and OP3, i think i should go for OP3, MI5 looks cheap with white color,and huge bezels
All the features you mentioned are available in the Chinese rom for OnePlus phones. Call recording is there, extra app permissions lockdown, etc. You'll have to install GApps manually if you need it.
The OP3 isn't on that page yet but should be soon.
Hope to See a miui rom for the op3 soon. Now using the mi launcher on it.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I think both are not compareable. They try to reach different goals (MIUI feature rich and pretty colorful while OOS wants to add some features but stay close to stock). It depends mainly on the user.
I will be happy with tweaked OOS once my device will be delivered while you can count on custom ported MIUI roms. There's not that better one imho

It mean "call recording" is not available in Oxygen?
I expect your answer to flash Oxygen. My OP3 is running H20 and if it isn't "call recording", i will not flash.
all oxygen is is stock android with a few apps from oneplus. plus it supports layers themeing. so yes IMO its almost as good as getting a nexus and much better than miui.
OOS on a Mi5?
I'm not sold on the aesthetic and a couple aspects of the OP3, I quite prefer the Mi5. I'm strongly considering attempting to load OxygenOS onto the 4/128gb Mi5 as my next phone and it sounds like people in this thread might have direct experience with this setup.
Any thoughts/tips? I unfortunately can't wait for the new Nexus phone(s) but I'm also considering a couple phones from ZTE & Huawei...
Thanks
Porting OxygenOS would be hard and pointless at this point, because Mi5 doesn't even have kernel sources and a working AOSP ROM. If you really want iOS lookalikes, I would recommend OPPO phones. They didn't release flagship for a couple years, but at least they know how to develop software well. R7 Plus has even Cyanogenmod 13, I believe.

Thanks but I specifically don't like iOS and wanting a phone that doesn't look like an iPhone is part of the draw towards the Mi5. That R7 Plus is an interesting phone, but for me the screen is too big and the CPU & GPU are quite subpar.
No one who makes a smartphone for the US has made one with the specs I'm looking for. OP3 falls short, the Nexus 6P is too far behind now, I find the Galaxy S7 to be hideous, the G5 was a disappointment. The HTC 10 is the closest bet but it's battery life sucks probably due to its pointlessly 4K screen.
The Huawei P9, Honor V8, ZTE Nubia Z11, and the Mi5 Pro are my top contenders at the moment, but there's no way I'm using their own OSs.
IMO Samsung is a big disappointment, because of their weird things like Knox.
boy i hate miui.. its known to bring gingerbread memory leak issues to marshmellow ! hahaha on the mi5 it restarts apps unnecessarily lol
Gingerbread didn't have memory leaks... or I've not experienced them while I was using it. In comparison, lollipop and above always had them on my Z2. That's why I started porting SailfishOS

I'm using the Mi launcher too. The look and feel of Miui and the best of OOS or Exodus Rom
OOS is great out of the box - stock Android with goodies (and useful goodies at that). Really stable and fast.
And since it's very near to stock Android, many Xposed modules work, so you can customize it much very easily.
It is beyond me why someone could prefer MIUI over that.
Hi.
Sorry for the double post. Didn't get a response in other thread.
I have a galaxy tab 3 7 inch with 4.1.2. Is it a good idea to upgrade the OS? I'm worried it may affect performance negatively. I know that 4.3 included trim support which should improve performance but thought I'd check here.
Thanks in advance.
Which model is yours? t211, t210, t111, t110, etc...
Though it wont decrease performance anyways.

And you are still using 4.1.2!!
upgrade to 4.4.2 and you can install Nolekat v1.1 over it, then install warewolf kernel v008, and then install gapps(whichever you like).
Then debloat it with any way you like.
works MUCH MUCH better then 4.1.2.
PM me if you wish some more explanation.
I'd like to stick with official roms if possible. I heard that it caused stability problems for someone with apps crashing frequently so trying to get some more info on what other people think.

other people think its the best action to upgrade. its your choice if you wish to stay on 4.1.2 or upgrade to 4.4.2 and install some tweaks to improve performance. if you ask my opinion, I would recommend to install the nolekat1.1 and warewolf kernel and then debloat.
and if you still wish to stay on stock, thats fine enough, at least debloat the stock rom for faster performance.
personal experience, i could not use the stock system with whatsapp, hangouts and a few more apps installed and using those almost daily, as it would be so slow to open any app.
And now, i can certainly use my device. My battery drains like 20%(still have 80%) in the whole day with like 1 hour of talk time and 1 hour of general internet usage.
And for the apps crashing problem, i am not sure who told you that, but i have not experienced any app crash that SHOULD not happen.
Okay. Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
