I don't see much of a performance improvement (I don't think there should be one, either), though if you do wipes anyway you're going to avoid a lot of slowdowns.
Shame about the new boot animation, though. I kinda dug the colorfulness of the last one. This is a little too bluish, wooshy, scifi looking, like a wonky portal effect from 10 years ago. Reminds me of the unfortunate tastes that gave the mod community a few too many Matrix themes.

This is by far the best rom for the phone I've used. Thank you for the dedication Cyanogen mod team!

You can change the boot animation back to the old one if you want to. The new alpha-5 boot animation caused me to have a seizure so I found the bootanimation.zip file and replaced the new one with the old one lol
Just get the bootanimation.zip file from one of the previous versions of CM9 (/system/media) and replace.

Is the audio bug still present? The one that requires the screen selection sounds to be turned off in order to minimize the AudioOut_1 wakelock? Haven't seen it mentioned since the early alpha builds.

It's crazy what these guys have done.. I don't know if I could even replace my Epic 4G with anything that's out right now.. We have the only qwerty device on Android 4 on the planet.. ICS, Wimax, and an Overclocked hummingbird makes this phone arguably better than the Droid 4..

I don't know if it's just happening to me, but my phone's time is all over the place. The lock screen stays perfect, but the status bar one stays stuck & I have a widget that lags even longer!

Alpha 1 felt slow and chunky to me, with the exception being the browser. May give a5 a shot since the ram settings got tweaked in a4.
If the app switcher still takes >2sec to open it will be a no go.

[Q] Can someone do a vídeo with Nexus 7 with tablet UI mode?

Can anyone do that? Like a little review.
I would like to see the notifications and the lancher.

I was hoping for the same thing a few hours ago but couldn't find anything. Basically just wanna see how the notification expansions work and how fluid the os is in tablet mode. Probably comparable performance but I just wanted to make sure xD

I would also love to see this

so no one is able to do this? I came searching again and was disappointed

I would love a video of that too. Please can someone make one?

But neither of them have video reviews of it running stock tablet UI with the DPI change mod. They both have it running the 213 dpi, hybrid UI instead.

I think you are going to confuse people.
The Nexus 7 does run in Tablet UI mode - only the home screen is hybrid.
What you want is a video of the tablet running with the DPI mod.

If you want to get technical then yes it is running in tablet mode, with a Hybrid Launcher BUT I still believe it's hybrid UI since even while in apps, you still get the hybrid/phone-like softkeys and notification bar.
Yes I would like a video of a nexus 7 running the DPI mod and showing a brief overview of menus, opening apps and notifications.

SUPER rom tweaks without a rom...

Here's some new code that will give you all of the tweaks and goodies found in the best roms but without having to flash a rom. These work on the SGN10.1. This is not my work, just passing it along. If you break your rig that's on you.

READ THIS! >> To use this you will need Busybox (just download and install from the Market) and INIT.D support (how to get that posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883125). I'm not kidding. This WILL NOT WORK without these.
Faster internet browsing
Longer battery life
Improved multitasking
Better JPG image quality
Higher quality recording from the camera
Faster scrolling
More responsive touch controls
Extra themes
** I have noticed that trying to implement the AdBlocker Tweak causes the installation to hang for me. I would avoid that. YMMV.
** PLEASE DIRECT ALL INSTALLATION AND FUNCTIONALITY QUESTIONS TO THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR'S THREAD. I DID NOT WRITE THIS JUST PASSING ALONG THE WORD.
** I KNOW THE AUTHORS ARTICLE INSTRUCTS YOU TO EMBED THIS IN YOUR CUSTOM ROM BUT I FOUND THAT YOU CAN JUST FLASH IT IN RECOVERY AS LONG AS YOU HAVE INIT.D AND IT WORKS JUST FINE.

Has anyone tried these? They are actually quite awesome.

I want to try it but would it work for a stock rom?

I must not have selected that option somehow. I have been getting a lot of buffering issues watching HD youtube videos since flashing this. I will try again to see if that will fix it.

Help Nexus 4 lag...and disappointing becnhmark resutls.

Hi guys,
I just received my Nexus 4 ....i love it.,.. but I'm experiencing lag within the playstore...also when i checked the benchmark results it's inferior to HTC ONE X and 2nd atemp it goes below Asus . Also I wanna ask some right direction in this forum for official method in rooting & installing CMW. Also possibility to overclock? Thank you. I searched the forum too many choices I don't know where to start.

Benchmarks don't mean anything. Plus you can't judge a phone running a different version of android against another, you will never have a semi accurate reading. I don't have lag in the playstore so it could be caused by your WiFi, data connection or possibly the stock rom. I am running AOKP which has been great.
This phone doesn't like to be overclocked either so I don't recommend trying that at this time and I believe most kernels removed the option too because people were overclocking then running benchmarks which killed their phones. Use MSKIPS Nexus 4 tool to root and install CWM, its the simplest way to do this.

mine isnt that responsive. i find myself making a slew of double and triple clicks. not to mention the pinch to zoom and scrolling responsiveness blows chunks for everyone.

I have none of these issues and it sounds like you are talking about screen sensitivity and not the cpu..
And apparently it cannot "blow chunks" too badly or you would return it.
I think these issues are all blown out of proportion. I don't see many or any actually that are parting with the Nexus 4 due to these things.. Personally I don't notice any lagging at all and the touch screen sensitivity really isn't something related to the lagging the op was referring to mentioning benchmarks anyways .

Play any type of game that uses the CPU intensively. Once the thermal throttling kicks in, you'll notice the stutter.
And the zooming sensitivity is out of whack. It's like i have to molest and grope my screen in order to get the same distance that I would get from my N7000 with a slight pinch-to-zoom.

Moved to Q&A as this is where you ask questions. Please post in the relevant sections going forward.

Some questions before getting Nexus 7

Hi, I'm getting Nexus 7 on Christmas, and I would like to ask some questions.
How's tablet mode with this tablet?
Any defects which are popular?
Are any game lagging? (I will play a lot I think)

If your on 4.1.2 you can change it to tablet mode or with a custom ROM. Mine has minor screen lift. Don't mind since I have accidental. And gaming is awesome!

I think I'll run PA, I had it on my One X and it was awesome. Thanks for the answer! :laugh:

There are many people having defects.. but you exchange it untill you get a perfect one LOL
About tablet mode, I just tried it and I don't know which one I like most... I highly reccomend you to hide navigation screens and top bar, so you can get use of your screen at 100% and with gmd gestures you can go back forward recent applications move directly to homescreen etc...
