Hi all Gnex MAGURO owner.
I just want to share my new setup on my Gnex.
For all the gnex roms i flashed from 4.3 to 5.1, all i can say that some KK are more stable than LP. on my experience so far now on LP Zmod is the most simple LP rom but after a wekk i got Lags and slow response.
so far now you can have SlimLP and RR if you want to have an LP which will last for months.
But if you want to stick on KK better have CM coz until now CM has always updates for our maguro also you can have SlimLP build 9 if you want to exprience SlimPie.
but if you WANT to have MORE STABLE better have the stock (last google support) which im using now for 2weeks and its battery life is awesome, i can play music for 4-5hrs, play game for 3-4hrs, surfing for 3-4hrs.
so now which will you want to flash? LP? KK? JBstock?

i tried nearly everyrom from ICS to LP and have to say this is the best WHICH WORKS FOR ME:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-android-revolution-hd-11-0-quality-t1361348
+ the latest fancy kernel.
After i did flash these i have seen how good the nexus is still.
every other rom just lagged and was slow after usage.
this rom i use for 2 weeks and its the best so far.
@saprer, the last message in that thread is from 2013, which makes me doubt if it is up-to-date. Thanks anyway for your opinion.
@Akosijasper, are you getting Google Play Services FCs lately with AOSP KK?.
Zmod is very stable, and good for daily use. I reach almost 3 hours of display with an old (3years) Gnexus and all work very well

I've been using ZMod for almost two months. After that, I went back to KK because of the laggish behaviour.
In any case Ziyan has done a great job.

well at first i'm using Zmod and its one of my favorite ROM bug its getting laggy same with Unofficial CM 12.1 so far on me RR on its latest build is okay but im not that sure how long will it last that it won get laggy on the other hand SlimLp is also good coz its miscellaneous batt drain is gone now but for me all LP has slow response with takes 2-4sec before an app will open. then when using LP those HD games or big size games are getting laggy and slow response.
to all sorry for making this thread its just i'm to concern on our maguro yeah its 3yrs old on the market but still i love this phone.
I think there is nothing to apologize. This thread is OK at this precise moment because some of us are getting a big trouble finding the right rom for our beloved gnexes.
LP = Laggish, memory always exhausted, not responsive, not performant, not a good user experience.
KK = Problems with Google Play Services.
JB = 4.3 too old?.
Solution: get a new sexy phone! xD
Is this me or this should go on Q&A?
Stock 4.1.2 best rom and stock kernel I use 2 weeks and no problem
The problem with 4.3 roms and older are exactly that, they are old. Our Gnex runs KitKat extremelly well as AOSP KitKat proves it so there's no reason to be on 4.3 or older for performance alone.
Let's hope for some love on KitKat roms that solve the PlayServices force close (and maybe the battery drain since my phone is keeping its "Deep Sleep" state for over 94% in 3 days without charging since I'm not using it and it's just laying on the desk but the battery still drains really fast). I'm seing like 5% drain evey hour even with those stats. If I use the phone the battery drains like 10% hour so the "sleeping" is very lousy.
Well, maybe with the optimized "Lollipop" in Android M we can get something off the new system on our Gnex, but for now, 4.4.4 with some love in terms of Google Play Services bugfix and battery draining would be perfect. Please note that I'm not demanding anything, I'm just stating what I believe would be very stable in our phone and what I would like to use. I also believe the majority of gnex owners already have a second phone and like to have the latest software in their phones (and may not mind the lag and abuse of RAM since they don't use the phone for continuous time). But for the ones who still have this one as their trophy in the pocket, I believe that wether having KitKat running well or Lollipop running almost well, we would prefer KitKat.
Hi,
for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-11-t3026583
Is one of the best, very stable and very fast and support f2fs very well, unfortunately the autor, "sgspluss", not updating anymore, and there is also the problem with play services in common with all KK roms. Until GOOGLE resolve this issue.
but the rom i posted is 4.3 and based on latest ROM aviable.
i dont know but it was the best experience i had: no lagg no stutter good battery and performance
I'm using Official CM 11 by Ziyan ATM, and the Google Play Services FCs are gone. Not as fast as other KK roms, but hey, everything is working

I was about to comment the same. I'm on nightlys, everything works. The problem with CM is once you start updating the nightlys it tends to get very sluggish, I don't know why. It does look like the best choice for now.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
Greenify will surely save a lot of performance if correctly used. I'm on Slimkat 4.4.4 and in 6 months no lag at all

well said my friend. yeah your right with it KK has this problems right now.
Thanks for participating for this thread and sorry for making this thread i'm just wondering what would be your point of view for our maguro. Yeah some of us has their 2nd phones already but its just so awful that living this legacy phone that sudden. Some of us uses this phone as their daily driver and still using it cause its still working and not enough money to buy one. I'm just concern to those people who's still using this legacy phone that is why i made this thread.
LP right now is not that good enough for our gnex
KK also have this googleplay services problem and the fast drain battery
on JB its too old (yeah your right) but some says it is more stable on its battery life and its ram (without exposed) the problem for JB is the apps of the those huge games that may cause slow on gaming.

if you want to use stock ROM,I think the stock 4.3 with stock kernel or fancy r43 kernel is the best, if you want to use custom ROM I suggest you shiny 4.4.2 or OmniROM larest builds with franco r398 or fancy r60 kernels, I had used OmniROM with franco r398 kernel for 8months before I give my lovely gnex to my father.

Hallo Guys!
I have bought a Zenfone 2 WW Edition and I read a lot about the ASUS ZenUI (a lot of apps that no one needs). Now I'd like to know if there is any Rom that's slim. I don't like the oversupply of apps that every developer forces you into. I only need the bare necessities and i want to use the full function-range of the hardware
is there any rom, that someone of you would recommend?
thank you,
mnhds
I'm using SuperZen, wich is the zenUI, but with removed bloatware. The bloatware didn't really annoy me, but the battery drain sure did. Using this rom along with the Project T kernel improved my battery life considerably. There's also Cyanogen if you dislike the UI, but it still has a few bugs.

i read about the Super Zen and i think i will try it. i hate bloatware. i really would like to have MIUI on the zenfone 2 but i think its a bit difficult to optimize the rom for intel processors.
thank you for your answer!
I'm on the blissPop since 10 days
I'm really satisfying, it's based on CM with lot of customization

yeah, porting things to the x86 processor is causing some trouble to developers, but we're seeing progress every day, so I believe it's just a matter of time before we have completely stable ROMs besides stock (which is not that stable also lol) .
Hello there!
I just bought the Mi Mix 2, because I wanted to get rid of my iPhone SE, the screen was just too small.
I had a Redmi 4 Prime one year ago, and I was happy with MIUI back then, but I dont like Google and want to keep the Play Services to a bare minimum (comparable to the OpenGapps Pico).
I only need the PlayStore and nothing else.
Several years ago I was a huge fan of Cyanogenmod and used it on every Phone I ever owned. Though Lineage is available for the Mix 2, I didnt like the stock Android versions which came after Kitkat. I never really got familiar with it, especially after the HoloBlue design was gone and Google tried to make the OS look more mainstream.
MIUI was very pleasant to use, but even with the xiaomi.eu ROM Google is still present with all of the services.
What ROM would you recommend for me? And which ROM are you using and why?
Sorry for my bad english!
Regards
Edit: One more question: The Redmi 4 Prime had a weird audio recording bug, where audio in videos or other recording was barely hearable and very noisy. After flashing the AICP ROM of the user unterwelt (amazing work, btw), the issue was completely gone. Back to the official MIUI ROM and it was there again. So I assume its a problem caused either by Xiaomi/MIUI or some Google services?
Anyway, is this an issue with the Mix 2? I read somewhere that it has very bad recording quality, which would be bad, because I use my phone as a recording device when Im at my way to work and so on (Im kind of a "part time" musician).

Any custom ROM is going to give u what u want, just try them. What's good for one person might not be good for u
Try MiuiPro...I flash it on several Xiaomi and everybody are happy about it
OmniRom with skizo Kernel, good battery life.
LOS and RR (based on LOS of course) have a very poor battery life atm

The official site is in Russia (the hacking, malware and ransomware capital of the world) and there is very little information about MIUIPro that I can find other than people saying its good. How is it good compared to stock or other ROMs?
I think I will give the .eu ROM a shot then, since I like MIUI. Is there any possibility to turn the Google services off? I only need the PlayStore.
Also, what about the recording sound?
Finally received my MIX 2. Looks and feels really nice!
Sadly, I have to wait for 72 hours to unlock the phone. I dont know why, because I registrated the device, but I guess its some problem with the unlock app.
Anyway, I am stuck with the global ROM for so long now. Is it worth it to "upgrade" to another rom? Because global seems to run well so far, and I guess MIUI10 is already around the corner.

That's just Xiaomi policy. Wait it out and then unlock your device.
I tried LOS and found it buggy and also significantly less smooth and responsive than MIUI 9--but for some people having stock Android is apparently worth the drop off in phone performance. There's not much risk in trying custom ROMs with this phone because it's very easy to go back to stock using the MI Flash tool.
Hi everyone,
I just got a HTC ONE M9, as my Redmi Note 4 broke. Can you guys please recommend best stable and high performing roms for this device?
I know I might get some flak for being a noob and lazy, but I did try LOS 16 (since I adore stock Android ) and Stock Deodexed rom, but LOS lags a lot and Stock rom looks outdated .
Thanks in advance

I won't give ya any flak for asking the rom question...
The truth is.....nobody can answer that question with any degree of accuracy because we all like different things.
LOS16 is the latest firmware we have...with AICP as well. And bear in mind that our M9's are ancient by today's phone standards.
Lag is just plain going to happen....but...
You can adjust the cores and optimize the experience which generally offers a good improvement.
And I may get flak for this....but if you are running apps like Facebook and instagram and many others....I can tell you that lag will be worse.
Apps like these are memory hogs that eat battery like crazy.
A lean and stripped down LOS 16 flash is fast and smooth.
Give it another try...and use the browser for Facebook and such instead of loading the apps.
It makes a huge difference for me....g

Thanks a lot, mate LOS developer is probably going to change CPU governor settings in next build, as some other people reported it lagging too in this build, so will give it another try. It just can't get any better than stock android.
Hello, i bought this device couple of months back from amazon, ever since it first arrived it has been very laggy, now some of u may say its because of 2gb ram but i have used other redmi devices in the past which comprised of 2gb ram (redmi2 prime, redmi 5 and redmi 6) but this device is way way more laggy then them, and i dont even do any heavy use, im talking about switching between youtube and chrome, as soon as i do that the app restarts, all games are laggy, all apps are laggy, i switched to a custom rom (AOSP Extended) even that lagged so i reverted to miui 11 and hoped it might help but nope. even the camera lags, i just cant tell wether its some factory issue or what, does anybody else have this issue with the said device or is there any way to detect the issue? please dont comment with "its 2gb bruh what do you expect" i currently do have a redmi 5 and i **** you not its performing worse then that, the camera quality and all is fine even the gpu is good but theres just this weird lag, even opening my keyboard makes it lag. not minor lags, MAJOR MAJOR LAGS, Please help me with this issue, can i claim warranty or something?:crying::crying:
which phones you have used before they aren't based on Android 9. But Redmi 7 is based on Android 9. Android 9 is heavier than the older version of Android. so 2GB RAM is not good enough. if you flash a custom rom like AOSP extended that is more ram hungry than MIUI.
PLEASE DON'T MIND. I THINK YOU HAVE NO OPTIONS. I am sorry for this.

I figured out the porblem. There's something wrong with some of the onclite devices, they give you 50% or even less performance on stock kernel, as soon as i used other kernels (zeus/neon) the phone has been godspeed smooth, only probelm with the custom kernles is one has WiFi bug and other has SD not detected bug, otherwise it's amazing.

Even I do get such huge lags. But due to improvements in custom kernels and ROMs, the speed has increased. You can try out some of the ROMs that have the newer zram config and see
