Hello everyone, i just bought nexus 4 today came from SGS4 i9500 and been using the phone for the past couple of hours and i'm liking it a lot, very smooth and sexy lol.Anyways, like every android i get i go for custom roms, so as a new nexus member i have no idea what good roms, kernels to flash and would really appreciate it if someone can help me with this and sure any useful info about the phone ( like what the good/bad in nexus) i should know of as a nexus starter just let me know please, Thank you in advance.
Welcome to the family!
Franco kernel is a good choice to go with.
I don't know which ROM is good though since I like stock alot!

Hello dear Sir/Madam,
The decision was right, the Nexus 4 is an awesome device, suk it Samsung!
In my personal experience, best roms are Cyanogenmod nightlies 10.1/10.2 (10.2 if you want 4.3 base) and MIUI V5 (awesome theming capabilities). Best kernel, in terms of battery saving and performance is faux123 kernel. It allows you to enhance screen colors, ram usage and also undervolting control (which saves battery) with very smart cpu governor, enabling the full nexus 4 performance right when you need it! It also gives control over various other functions, such as gpu overclocking, giving even better graphic performance.

I been a samsung customer for so long and cant deny the fact that samsung are so good when it comes to mobiles but the galaxy S4 i9500 variant disappointed me a lot.Anyway i sure will try the kernel and the roms you suggested and see how it will go.(looking at the N4 dev threads , tons of custom roms and kernels which makes it not easy to decide what to flash lol )

It is generally a good advice to check the respective rom threads for the functions you require. Eg if you require a rom with pie control, check the rom thread for pie control on the feature list ( if there is one ). My own experience shows that most functions are not really needed, such as aforementioned pie control, that is just a comfort function, if at all. Most important function is Quiet Hours, which does not work on many roms, for whatever reason. Again, i can recommend MIUI V5 rom. It has awesome themes, you can even make your Nexus 4's OS look like an iPhone with IOS7! MIUI also features animated symbols, like the calendar or clock app. Their symbols change according to time/date. Same applies for the data usage icon. After you have set up your data plan's limit, the icon will update automatically, depending on your data usage.
I can suggest the pacman rom.
It's kinda paranoid android, aokp and cyanogenmod mashed into one

It depends on individual usage. Im currently inter-swtiching on Stock S5 port ROM by Jamal and g00h. The ROM is fast and stable.

Do you want TouchWiz based and have all Samsung features? Do you want AOSP based like CM etc?
If you want to game etc, then look at changing kernels and tweaking you can read about kernel tweaking HERE - No one can tell you which is the best for "performance" as no one has any idea what you use your device for..

I honestly really don't mind either having samsung stock or cm, just one that will give best performance, but yeah I have been through like 10 different custom roms and each one has their issues, like nfc issue, battery issue, etc.
Also how do people get 50,000+ on antutu with the same n9005 device?
S5 port by gooh and C-Rom are my personal preference.

Antutu (version 5 is reporting incorrectly so people who think they are getting 50-60K actually are not.. lol) means nothing, don't even bother. - In regards to ROM battery isn't the ROM itself really, it'st the kernel. Use a custom kernel and have a look at how to tweak it for better battery performance.

Thanks! Yeah I'm currently on Jamal's S5 port for Note 3 and I was on Lean Kernel and experienced a bit of battery drain, but on Ultimate Kernel V72 I get better performance and better battery life!
Lean Kernel Battery after 12hrs major usage: 35%
Ultimate Kernel V72 after 12hrs major usage: 60%

Yeah, I'm currently on Jamal's S5 port! It is amazing. I'm not on C-rom cause it hasn't been updated in a while (meaning minor bugs and performance fixes are still present).

i find the tweaked rom by gooh most interesting with performance and my second option is echoe rom
I've been searching all day and haven't found a lollipop kernel that isn't more than a slightly modified stock kernel. Am I just blind or are there pretty much only pre-lollipop kernels?

I've been looking too and I don't think there are any, bar Khaon's. I'm not sure if this is f2fs only, not read into too much. However, I'm using rastapop rom and its working great, pretty much stock but with a few select features, which happened to be just what I was looking for.

What about wifi? Mine is fubar under cm12 and stock lollipop. Haven't found a kernel either.
Khaon's kernel isn't just for f2fs, I'm using it right now on Dirty Unicorns ROM. It has a few governors, schedulers, OC/UV. It has been working great for me so far.

I just installed Purity ROM on my N10. Was using Franco Kernel before (planned to stay on KitKat) but it was buggy as hell and I tried to reach out to him multiple times, via here and G+ but he never cared to reply back. So glad I paid for it.
I'm using the stock kernel installed with Purity. You think the above Kernel would have any issues with the ROM?
I looked at his Gdrive folder here and he has two different ones. Using the tablet because I'm traveling I can't see the whole filename.
Which one should I choose?
Thanks.

I am on the 2/17 kernel right now, I'm not entirely sure what the differences between the two kernels he has up there are. I think once might allow sabermod which I think was recently included in his ROM, not entirely sure though.

Thanks. Wanted to make sure since I'm traveling and if I throw a boot loop, I won't have any way to recovery from it.
Are you using some 3rd party app for the O/C - kernel settings etc or does he have a specific app for kernel management?

He doesn't have any personal kernel management software but Aero Kernel, SetCPU or something along those lines should do the job.

I am using now kernel audiutor. It is very good !! Everything is supported should give a try.
If the man himself recommends a certain kernel management program, chances are I'm going to try that one out.
Thanks, just flashed your Kernel on my N10 running Purity ROM. So far, no boot-loop. Looking forward to it.
Do you have any recommended settings for the N10 + your Kernel?

There maybe hope for a Lollipop 5.1.0 Franco kernel for the Nexus 10, see this post from the Nexus 5 forum where Franco mentions his kernel/devices priorities.

Hello,
basically, stock kernel performs also well, but I don't like the default "tunnables".
Governor : you can stick with interactive and default values I made : I changed touch boost to be kernel side and the touchboost duration is 200 ms, however, you can decrease it to 100ms(that's i am using).(default value is 500ms)
io scheduler: you can switch from BFQ to fiops or ZEN. The io scheduler handles who is reading or writing to the disk. If you mainly multitasking(torrents,music,beo<insg, etc at the same time) bfq is good, otherwise you can switch to fiops or zen
Ofc undervolting: our device is set up with high voltage, basicaly I can reduce 100~150mV but this DOES NOT APPLY to everyone, you have to test yourself your own chip to figure out which voltage is required to have it stable.

I don't know if its just MY device or some other issue. I'm running Purity ROM and after flashing your kernel I can actually watch my battery drain.
Its been 47 minutes and I'm already down to 89%. At this rate it will be dead in 3 hours +/-. Only using Wifi and screen is set to lowest brightness setting. No gaming, just using Boat Browser and sending Hangout messages.
I'm using Greenify to kill any apps in the background and I've used SDMaid to stop any unnecessary apps from running on startup.
Not sure what the issue is or if you even want to be bothered trying to diagnose? Not meant as a slight to you or your work at all just don't know if this is just a issue with mine or others are having the same problems?
I've already let the device die and recharge a few times thinking it was the battery stats being reported incorrectly but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Any suggestions? Ideas?
Thanks.

Hm there are out there many apps to check battery drains and what process consumes energy.
I dont know much of that, but I use betterbatterystats, I know- from screen I saw- there are more complete software, yes I would bother trying to fix anything broken as long as I am given at least the minimum information

Hi there!
Check of your device is actually going into deep sleep. There is an issue with the latest google play services. It prevents the device from going to sleep. I am using CM12 nightly and i suffer from this issue as well.

I have owned a Redmi note 3 for a while (Snapdragon 650 3gb RAM). I couldn't be happier with it. Great design, excellent development community, smoth, great configuration. I am really in love with it.
However... The only thing I hate about it is that it keeps on killing apps running in the background. Every time I switch apps, the cellphone reloads it. For instance when I am browsing in Chrome and then go to Whatssap to check something, then when I go back to Chrome it reloads the app... That turns pretty silly.
I know this has been discussed but I just can't believe this amazing device can't have better ram management.
Is there a workaround I can try to improve this? Like a sort of configuration or something? I am running MIUI. Eu rom with Radon kernel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

May i ask you or warn you?[emoji23] [emoji23]
You are just creating a post like a PM in social media. [emoji43]
And for the above message
I would say
Those rom which occupies less storage space is the one which saves the battery.
And
I prefer custom rom for battery saving as they are made for saving, performance purposes.

This is a direct question that requests the personal experience of other users. Don't understand why it would be against the rules.
Anyway, I switched to Xiaomi.eu after Stock. Will report my own experience after some days.
Once I tried aosp I couldn't look back... MIUI just isn't as fast and stable, and since we don't have custom kernels on MIUI 11 Q I can't adjust the screen saturation (lavender screen is pretty washed out by default). In terms of battery life, Lineage OS with stock kernel has probably been the best for me.

You are not the only one that speaks in Stock's favor. So there is a noticeable difference between it and Xiaomi.eu? I'm feeling tempted to go back to Stock now, custom ROMs are nice but there always some issues.

Alright, forget what I said, due to many people praising it I tried MIUI 11.0.7.0 PFGEUXM, debloated of course.
With 3G network only and full Wi-Fi access, I'm getting battery life similar to my Z Play's. It maybe slightly better or worse, they seem the same to me but in any case, I'm very satisfied.
I used the Xiaomi debloater tool... Are there additional methods to de-bloat the phone a bit more?

I knew that since my Windows Mobile times. First thing I did was removing the fancy things and unnecessary apps. People reported MIUI as very aggressive when it comes to battery saving, and I found it to be true (if I'm not missing anything).
