Hey everybody, I have a curious question for everyone, have you ever compared your rooted phone to a stock Incredible? I'm just curious because my sister just got a new Incredible from Verizon and it just seemed a little snappier than my phone running CM 6.1 Anyone else ever experience this? Also her screen seemed a bit nicer, is there any chance I recieved an LCD model and she got an LED? How would I find this out? Thaks everybody.

How many apps does she have installed? Just wait a month when she has 20 or 20 so apps downloaded. And if it's still faster, your rooted, you have a custom rom, just overclock, and rip her apart on benchmark.
Haha, the funny thing is she actually has more apps installed than I do. I've never really overclocked my DINC either.

Damn, that's weird. And I only overclock if I'm running a benchmark, or using psx4droid, because nothing says speedy playstation games then 1.19Ghz.
And if it feels speedy then it probably is just the UI (sense) making the basic screens quick and snappy. Both of you download an app that uses alot of processing power (psx4droid) and see who's comes out on top.

Dunno bro.
In my experience with CM with the Droid 1, it's always been a quirks first performance second rom. If you go back to a stock rooted ROM it should be faster.
Just think I found out the opposite, I've had my Incredible since the first day of release, so I should have the AMOLED and she has the SLCD, so does anyone know if the SLCD has better quality than the AMOLED?
Better contrast on the amoleds.

The amoled is hardware version 0002 in settings and slcd is 0003.
Amoleds have a higher contrast ratio, so everything looks a little richer on amoled. However, the pixel arrangement is a little different, so text should look a little clearer on the slcd display.
Its a trade off; I'd go for the amoled if I had a choice.

It may not be the app count that matters as much as the type of apps.. And have you ever changed kernels when you switched to cm6?
Last time I was running Cm 6.1 I had Invisibleks #18
Its a number of things. A huge dalvik cache from regular use, browser history, app cache, lots of gmail, text messages, ****ty apps with memory leaks, album thumbs, sync schedules, etc. Also an odexed phone optimizes an app's library making it slightly snappier.
ok, well invisa-whatever(can never remember its name???) is a "special" kernel(sorry if your its dev and reading this), apps arent gona kill you that much... if you running slower rooted and on a dif rom then chances are its your kernel... most roms run faster than the stock. OC'd phone have a tenancy to kill battery very quickly, and the inc already has bad batt life(only thing I dont like about it) so I would suggest flashing a dif kenrel and possibly a dif rom... find a rom w/ sense that you like and ziggy is where its at... if you can find a asop kenrel by him(there are a few i think) then that would likely be your best bet for non sense kernels. His kernels are usually very snappy and can be OC'd if you really want, not to mention the batt life is amazing by comparison. I hate to sound like a ziggy fan boy but it really is the best kernel set I have ever used.

Fastest smoothest Android phone I've ever owned... smooth as butter... no catching up on scroll lists, no lag period. 4.0.4 is an amazing software upgrade. All bugs of 4.0.2 have been fixed. No auto brightness problems, screen rotation fast and smooth. Bluetooth is awesome, wifi is awesome, 3G/4G radio is awesome.
And best of all... I'm getting 40-50% more battery power... I feel like I'm in looove with my Galaxy nexus all over again...
4.0.4 is the update that Galaxy Nexus should have shipped with. Congrats to everyone at Google who had a part in bringing us this awesome software update... Congrats!
Forgot to say that the camera software on the 4.0.4 update has been improved 1000x over the one from 4.0.2... what an amazing update. Kudos to Google engineers.
My Galaxy Nexus which is stock O2 UK came up last night saying 4.0.4 was available. It dowloaded the 37MB and restarted but never installed the update. Any idea's?
I agree, Google did an amazing job with this OTA, I am also in love again with my Nexus

I must be one of the few that doesn't like it. My battery life is worse, the device has a slight lag and the touch sensitivity is off. And my GPS won't work any more after hammering for the OTA. I really need to do a full wipe and clean but I've got too much on the device at the moment.

Ya something went wrong. Save your things and factory reset or even reflash that thing.
I found the signal on 4.0.4 to be VASTLY better than 4.0.2.
One issue I found was something weird with scrolling. Sometimes it feels mushy, and I have to press down harder/move my finger longer.
Yes. 4.0.4 is quite good. The overall experience can be described as smooth. Loving it!
Yes... it is amazing... faster... one little lagg when change between calls, contacts and recent calls, but nothing compares with the previous version...
I'm loving it!!!
Yes, to me it is waaay better than 4.0.2. Everything is smooth and working well. Battery life is amazing.
for me it is also amazing. battery life amazing improvement on standby. snappy as well.. looking forward for a year full of such improvements!

Grabbed my brothers computer and did a complete wipe. So far so good. I still don't feel like it's super great, my 4.02 ran very, very well. Much testing in order.
I haven't noticed any difference.
The only thing I notice is that every Live Wallpaper except Phase Beam still lags...

Then you are not very attentive.
I've never understood the obsession of folks with their live wallpaper. History has shown that on most devices they suck. They suck battery bigtime, because fools are too busy looking at their live walls and going WOOOOOOOOOOOO.....! that their screen kills the battery.
Live wallpapers suck on this device. Get over it, nobody cares anymore.
Love everything about the ota except the color. Anyone else notice a color change? My phone got very beige whites after ota and auto brightness seems less responsive. Its like the gamma was messed up. Couldn't see well in bright sunlight anymore. Once I flashed one of morfics color corrected kernels it was better but I thought my phone was messed up. All white backgrounds were flat beige.

Not that I've seen
Actually the only thing I noticed after the upgrade is that I did not need to install Volume+ since the ringer became loud enough.
I have a couple questions. Stil havnt received my ota update. I used the clear cache trick which worked but when updating, I get a Droid with a red exclamation mark.
1) Is the lag over with lwp?
2) did they fix the keyboard auto correction for other languages , ie I am Dutch and when pressing on a Dutch word I get English corrections.
3) did they improve the stock browser which I like better than chrome because of in browser flash

Wow I thought the display looked great as is and I decided to try this app. Just add +10 blue and the colors look a lot cooler, which I prefer and I think it looks better than the stock. This may be because I'm used to the oversaturated cool colors of super amoled displays but its still fun to play around with.

That's fantastic, do you know if settings are applied after boot?

Nevermind, just found this option in app settings.
GREAT APP!
Just added +3 to blue and my yellow tint screen become perfect!
Nice find. I tried +10 blue but I found it wasn't to my taste. Grey's came out blue as well which was unattractive in my opinion.

It absolutely lags the device. I had tried it before I saw this thread and figured I'd chime in here for others.
The way this works is by applying a color filter to all graphic output. Whatever process it is using to do this is slowing down rendering. Maybe you don't notice it in Rosie (Sense's launcher) but it's absolutely noticeable using Nova.

yeah guys, unfortunately like other have said it does create a lot of lag, hopefully someone will be able to create a similar mod without the lag.
No lag using Apex Launcher and blue +6. If you increase contrast, lag is slightly there.
it's just been updated and now runs perfect :good:
no lag, need blue
I have to make +20 blue for compensating the yellow tint !
and believe me no lag if you dont play with contrast !
Hello guys n devs,
I have a Galaxy S phone and thinking of moving to Galaxy Nexus. Would you like to comment and give your opinion on this please?
With respect to Battery life, overall performance, any specific issue you would like to mention about.
Thanks.
Performance on this phone is beastly, especially with jelly bean update. Battery life is under Android average. Some issue that some people are having is signal loss and such, but had none of those problems.

Well thanks a lot.
Would you like to mention about the screen? Have seen many mentioning about the patches on screen while display. Ideally with such a good resolution and AMOLED I found it weird.
Have you tried MIUI-JB. How about battery use with data / Wifi on?
Do you have any other equivalent recommendations as well? :good:

Yes, screen is one of the BIG issue with galaxy nexus. Whites are very washed out, but the worst part is, in low brightness level, everything looks so grainy and such. Of course, you can just flash custom kernel that supports screen adjustment and that does help a bit, but still is disappointing in my opinion. You still can get used to it.
Edit: also, I haven't tried it miui and probably won't, since I don't like it. Battery on Wi-Fi is exception in my opinion, but once you use mobile data, it drains the battery. For Rom recommendation, I can't say which is the best Rom, since everyone prefers different roms. What I recommend you to do is try all of them that you are interested in. I personally used many different roms and stayed with AOKP jelly bean, because I love all the features that it brings

Hi man i was in the same situation as you i had a galaxy S and now i moved to nexus. Let me share some ideas.
First it's a great phone. After you play with android stock interface never ever you will turn back to touchwiz bull****t. Even for an S3.
You said you have Miui. I remember also i used that on S best rom in matter of performance. Here on Nexus you will have a lot of pure Android interface roms with a good performance. I'm sure the design it's enough good to not come back to Miui. I tried it on Nexus but don't like it (to big screen for iphonish intreface).
As for other aspects screen: one of the best on the market Hd display, performance now with jelly bean it's ok. It has the same gpu as S so if you are not a gamer it's enough you can play almost all the games. Battery instead will last shorter than on a S you know dual core hd screen but it's decently. Also custom roms are more 'professional' here since it's a dev phone.
So you will have what and where to choose.

Hi all,
TL;DR - My questions can be boiled down to: Is my tablet defective in some physical way, or can I sort it out by rooting, flashing a good custom ROM, and being less picky?
I'm wondering if you can help me decide whether my tab is a defective unit. There's lots of talk in the threads about whether certain problems are by design or by fault, whether hardware or software based, etc. In light of those disagreements, I'm a bit unsure what to do with my GPad.
My situation:
I bought a Grade A refurbished GPad the other day (it's a no fault customer return - as new). Its S/N begins 310, so one of the earlier batches I presume. I'm running Stock 4.4.2, not rooted.
My problems:
Light bleed: I don't have 7 *clearly* defined lights, but I definitely have light from that edge affecting the screen (see attached pics). Most of the time, it's not too annoying, and I can maybe live with it. Seems like more general bleed even at the top of the tab in portrait mode, and on black screens/high brightness.
Yellow tint: My screen is *very* warm, in a colour sense. Again, most of the time I'm not too fussed -- it's only when I see whites alongside my Nexus 4 that I realise how yellow/orange my screen is (unless my Nexus is exceptionally blue, of course).
Dark blacks: When watching TV shows with lots of dark scenes (like Buffy), the display really struggles to show clearly what's going on -- the darks just melt into each other in a black mess.
Netflix: I'm getting pretty noticeable lip-sync issues on even old SD streaming (again, Buffy); I cannot resize the Netflix player without it blocking half the screen off with a grey band; I'm getting lots of skipped frames too -- HD content through Netflix is not what I hoped it would be (and was on the Nexus 7 I sold to buy this).
Questions:
1. Do others have these problems -- do any of them come as a package (as it were)? So, is there a connection between, say, dark blacks and yellow tint, or yellow tint and bleed worries?
2. If so, what S/N do you have? I'm starting to think that later models aren't actually any better, but I'm curious anyway.
3. Do any or all of these things have software fixes? I've got a screen filter running which takes some of the yellow off, but not much. I could go for increasing minimum brightness, but a) I like low brightness settings; b) some of the bleed is on black screens on high brightness settings (watching movies, e.g.). If you're running a custom ROM, do any of them work well with Netflix?
4. Ultimately, is it worth my trouble trying my luck with a new unit?
Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated!

Obviously some screen questions are subjective but to me:
1. I've never had much of the bleed problem personally, it's there just much smaller. The color(yellow) and gamma(darker darks) on this tab were a big problem on 4.2.2 for me. The 4.4.2 update (20a and 20b) really helped the color, there was a 18 leak that really improved the gamma but was LG unofficial.
2. Don't have it with me but mine was towards the mid lower end of SN.
3. There are a few fixes that help the situation. Run the 18 kernel on 4.4.2(requires tablet software modding of course), I personally built my own kernel based on 20b that boosts the gamma from 1.8-2.0 to 2.2-2.3. The screen looks pretty nice. I was working with changing the LED backlight drive to give a better brightness range but honestly the screen looks really beautiful.
4. If you look at the common complaints with this tablet I'm thinking your chances of getting a better one are not in your favor.

Did you think from my screens that the bleed was particularly bad? It bugs me when watching films; sometimes it's extreme. Thanks for the tip about 18 kernal. I've read about that too. I'm tempted to flash the Mahdi ROM though - does that have gamma fixes, you know?
And yeah, so many complaints about screen issues with this tablet. Such a shame. Think I'll stick for a little longer and mull it over.

Yours looks really noticeable. I felt like mine improved with 18 and my homemade kernel, but it never seemed like it was that bad. I never used Mahdi, just CM11, stock 4.2.2/10b(for a day), stock 18 leak, stock 20 a and b.

If it's just the ramdisk that is different it could probably be doable, but I'm not sure the ramification of having the 4.4.2 or 4.2.2 stock as the underlying structure that you have flashed CM over(i.e the other partitions).

I'm up in the air over it. I have some other mods to it, including overclocking for CPU and GPU that I wanted to fine tune better. I have been using it for a couple of days without any major issues, but I don't want to damage anyone's device.
I suppose if you are willing to accept the as-is nature of it, and the fact the CPU speed is bumped to 1.78 from 1.72 I can share(check the commits for other changes). At some point we need to see if the gamma is good across other screens...
Only if you are on 20A or B.....not going to work for CM, Mahdi, etc
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST
3 options in the zip(this isn't a flashable zip) If you want to be testing this I expect you know what to do with the one of the 3 files.
-boot.emmc.win, (loki'd for aboot version a/b) put in a TWRP folder and restore
-lok file. (loki'd for aboot version a/b)
-img file (non loki'd if you have a different aboot and need to loki yourself)

Also thank @oubeichen, I had ported the Faux control and couldn't figure out the bootloop issue without his help.
Thanks
For anyone unsure how to flash the kernel, I changed the name of boot.emc.win to boot.img and flashed it with flashify. Seems to be working nicely. I had only just upgraded to v20b, so haven't played around with it too much but this kernel seems white and bright

That would be great.
If you are willing to look at the cm based kernel, I, for one, would be more than happy to test it for you.
I'm sure one or two of the guys would also be happy to test for you too.
As an aside, I am currently running mahdi kernel on infecteds cm11, as some changes cm have made lately, are causing a few issues. So these cm based kernels certainly seem to be swappable.
Thanks again in advance.
Oh and please don't feel that you are obliged to do anything for the cm roms.
I can well appreciate the extra work involved for you. I'm just being a cheeky sod

Well done with the sharing of the kernel. I might be tempted to restore my nandroid backup of the rooted stock just to give this a go. But if I did I know that running stock would bother me, after using Infected's build of SlimKat.
To be extra cheeky, could you please post the stock 4.4.2 kernel, so that I can switch between the two for testing? If it's a hassle, I can probably try to extract it from one of the ROMs posted.
I saw that LG have made the 20b kernel public but its 96MB and not downloading.

This will remove the kernel all the modules and install the 20B stock kernel and modules. Should only be used on 20B ROM obviously.

Thanks. I did pull the boot.img from the stock ROM and was flashing that back and forth but flashify only allows 3 flashes per day, so this is easier
Definitely more white (stock kernel gives people jaundice in pics) and brighter on dark movies

Thank you for testing it out, at least I know it's not placebo!

Yours looks really noticeable. I felt like mine improved with 18 and my homemade kernel, but it never seemed like it was that bad. I never used Mahdi, just CM11, stock 4.2.2/10b(for a day), stock 18 leak, stock 20 a and b.

Thanks for confirming that it is pretty bad. If I keep it, I'll either check out the kernal fix you've now posted (thanks) or flash a custom ROM. I'm swaying towards trying my luck with a replacement though. Cheers
