Hey all
lately I noticed that my stock android 4.2.2 (not rooted) has become a bit sluggish sometimes. I like stock android but I feel as if the GNex is really running on the edge now in 2013 if I compare to the newest hi-tek android devices/Iphone 5 etc.
Could flashing a custom rom improve the speed and smoothness ? Also maybe I'd like to try out hybrid mode like you have in PA. I also heard a lot of good stuff about Sorcery, don't really know what would suit me the best.
Do you guys think rooting + flashing a custom rom would still my hunger for a new phone for some time still ?
Hope to have some tips that can move me into the right direction. Nonetheless I still love my GNex but I hate when it lags a bit sometimes..

Yes, it could. A new home launcher also could improve speed and smoothness.
Yeah, I think for sure you will be content with your phone longer if you try different ROMs on it occasionally, or even just recieving new updates to a current ROM.
sure dude why not.. if u root u can overclock and thus increasing your performance, rom selection is self choice related try every rom and kernel and stick to the one you love

What are the most performance/smoothness based roms ? Or is it more a kernel thing ? Although I don't want to experiment with 1001 settings and kernels on a rom before I get it right. I reckon that a developer puts a stable kernel together with the rom he makes and releases..

Everyone has their own favorites. I personally recommend you try the newest stable CM, or even the M series if you prefer the newest features before the are implemented in to the stable builds.
Stick to the prepackaged kernel so you don't develop issues from using a third party kernel on a ROM it wasn't designed for.
That's my preference, hope you find yours. "Best ROMs" or "smoothest ROMs" threads get closed quick around here.

Ok thx, should try out CM then maybe, seems the most logical step too. I consciously didn't use the words "best rom" , as that's indeed each one to its own. Though, smoothness is imo an objective thing.
One of the best things about flashing a custom Rom and Kernel is the Fast Charge support! Pretty much if you just use a standard USB port on your PC it will charge as fast as a wall charger.

First question... Have you rebooted in awhile?
Second question... How many background tasks are constantly running.
Custom ROM/Kernel makes sense only if you go for a minimalistic ROM/fine-tuned kernel. Honestly, Stock ROM is fine, unless you need features missing. Or look for just straight optimized ROMs like RasBeanJelly Vanilla and others that are only trying to fix bugs and not add bloat.
Kernel, pick your flavor, but always go with 'stable' ones and not nightlies if you want to avoid issues.
For me, I do Stock ROM (or would consider RasBeanJelly Vanilla) at best, and Franco Kernel (though stock is good enough).
Another point... Key Lime Pie (v. 5.0) will be announced likely in a few weeks at Google I/O 2013. Why deal with unlocking the bootloader, flashing ROMS, and Kernels, then to have to wait for source code to be released to get the newest and latest?
Bootloader was unlocked from the day I got it (to go from yakjuxw to takju). Now I just rooted my phone with custom bootloader, but it's still on stock takju. Do I still get the Google OTA's ? Iirc I need the stock bootloader for this ?
Have you tried to wipe data?
You can try this first if you like stock. If you want to try a smooth custom rom I recommend you xylon + ak kernel.

I believe TWRP and CWM will allow you to install OTAs, but you need to have stock kernel and no other system apps that are not apart of Google's stock Android. However, you wouldn't wait anyways for OTAs since you can just flash the updates that appear on XDA once they arrive. Either via fastboot or the custom recovery (if they work).
If you go to a custom ROM, you will not receive OTAs, (or shouldn't if the ROM was built right). You will have to wait for the ROM to be upgraded by the maintainer of it.
dude try something new other than stock..
CM 10.1 + ak diamond
governor = ondemand
stable,good speed..
give it a try

I can confirm this behaviour on TWRP.

Not sure if by mistake but, (as of the date of this post) there's no custom bootloader for any of the GSM/LTE variants of the Google Galaxy Nexus.
What he's talking about is a custom recovery. (This needed correction so as to not to mislead readers.)

Good point you're right, sorry should have been more clear.
I'm indeed talking about a custom recovery, not bootloader. Atm I only have lockscreen policy with clock hack and SuperSU/SuperUser apps who use the root. Is this enough to prevent me from having google OTA's ? Still didn't get to flashing another rom lol, I guess I like stock. And it might be between my ears but having rebooted + rooted the phone made it feel snappier again.
Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Again, if you alter system files the OTA will fail, if it needs to update those.
Well my (noob) question was if above mentioned things such as ClockHack who need SuperSU permission altered my system files?
I am using Purity with Leankernel. Gives me a smooth experience and great battery life.
Also it has the PIE and you can use XPosed framework to get Per App DPI with any ROM like I do.
But I have tried almost all the ROMS in the development section except for a couple maybe. I keep returning to Purity, Vanir and Cataclysm most of the time when I have something important come up and I cannt flash a new ROM every other day.

Hi all,
I just bought a galaxy note 8 and rooted it. I installed the Cyanogenmod rom but dont really like it.
I do like that it is a lot faster than the stock software.
Can anyone recommend a ROM on here to try. I see there are lots available but dont know which one to go for. If anyone has one of the roms from here and loves it, please let me know so i can try it.
Also, now the device is rooted, i can just wipe and install ROMs using the clockwork recovery program right?
I've installed the CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.1 ROM now. Much smoother and looks more like the stock rom

Cosign. It's in my opinion the best performing ROM for my needs.
the number of ROMs is not that big, go and check for yourself - generally the "best ROM" threads are usually closed by the mods, rather sooner than later
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda premium
Although the options are not in abundance I also would recommend CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.1 ROM I think it's the best for the note 8 & IMO one of my fav jellybean ROMs overall.
Hi there, I'm new as galaxy note user and I saw a lot of custom rom. I'd like to know which one is the best custom rom for you for the p600 version.
Thank you so much

You are not going to get an answer to that question on XDA.
1. "Best rom" is a personal opinion
2. People are not going to claim a best because it kinda takes away from some devs who put a lot of hard work into their roms.
Download the available ones and try them all out. That's your answer.
The best advice we can give is to try a few and see what works for you. Different set ups give different results. Even with the same rom. It's why we don't allow comparison threads on xda. Our devs out in a lot of work to give users choice.
I've closed this, but enjoy trying some different builds.

There will be ROMs soon I guess.
Exynos = No ROM Development

Forget about Custom ROMs! Being an Exynos device, the chipset is entirely closed-source. Hence it's quite difficult for the developers to create custom ROMs. The only exception being some high-end Samsung Galaxy flagships that have a ROM or two.
Always remember, if you're interested in Custom ROMs and related developments, buy devices in this order: Snapdragon > MediaTek > Exynos

That's not true. I had a Samsung J7 Prime and have a lot of working roms. And i suposed that are many exynos devices which have custom roms. So, is posible. But is work for developers, if they want.
hey guys am a newbie amd little dumb i just bought redmi note 9 pro(curtana) to play genshin impact (was tricked by youtube all videos shows the game playable but for me its laggy af i need ur help picking up the best rom and kernel or just kernel to game (am planning to overclock) checked the corvus rom thread it seems they cut it off and has lots of problems for curtana welp plz
I played a lot of high graphics games on my note 9s curtana and had no problem with stock rom, everything runs smooth. I will try the game you mentioned, but I don't expect lags. Also since you're a newbie as you said, I'd recommend sticking to stock rom and not mess up your device if you don't know what you're doing.

Ye sure why not, I recommend learning what's root, bootloader, fastboot, adb, custom recovery, custom rom etc.. then jump into guides to unlock your bootloader, gain root access, get familiar with that and learn how to make full backup of your rom. After that learn how to flash roms and custom kernels. Step by step, but don't jump into flashing roms and kernels, you may risk bricking your device when you know nothing about fixing it.
