Hi guys
I just have a little question regarding my nexus 4. I seem to be having the battery drain issue. It seems to drain the battery when I use any app or the browser through 3G (Wifi it doesnt drain so bad) also when using 3G i get a warm phone at the back. The heat thing doesnt bother me yet as I live in a very cold country.
I am not in a position to RMA or return the device to the shop as I bought the device in the UK and then returned to Russia.
I read on a previous post that google may update the phones to stop this battery drain issue should I wait for this update or should I try a custom ROM to solve the problem. If a ROM would work can any person give me a hint to which is good one to try first I have a nexus 7 and sometimes I use Paranoid Android. I have been reading the thread in the DEV section about that ROM but I cant seem to find a list of whats working or not.
As for the phone I have no other trouble with it it works great even outside when its -42.
its not the ROM, its the kernel that has a battery drain, more particularly towards on how it works. i wont get too complicated because i dont want to write two paragraphs on why its the stock kernel. basically, all you need to know is that the phone ramps up to 1028 frequency when you touch the screen, so there is a possibility of the phone running at 1028 as the minimum freq. etc etc etc etc (like i said, theres a lot of reasons why)
flash a custom rom of your choice + kernel. i recommend franco for kernel.
and you're right for RMA. RMA is for hardware defects etc, RMAing wont get anyone a better battery. so even if you could RMA, i wouldn't. its fixed by software.
Thanks for that i will give it a try
I hit the thanks button
Can we get to the real question at hand... It's -42 degrees where you live... Holy shhh

when its this cold if you drink beer you get a sore throat and lose your voice, also vodka does work but it actually cools your body down at the same time as giving you a false feeling of warmth which is dangerous.
the irony is they sell ice cream on the street and you eat it and its warm crazy but nice in a strange way.
I'm running rooted stock with Franco Kernel
I recommend the franco Kernel, and modding to CyanogenMod. I have been running these and am loving the performance much better now. I also changed my cpu settings (via setCPU) to lower my CPU frequency to 384-1242. The lower frequency helps save some battery life.
Can somebody confirm that the battery drain issue is due to improper cpu scaling?
Thanks.

There are so many things that can cause battery drain issue... Improper CPU scaling, maybe... one can have battery drain issue by simply not having good signal and your phone constantly searching for better signal and this can happen on stock everything.. This is one example of battery drain issue.. So to pin it to CPU scaling would not be accurate

If you never flashed a custom rom then you're stock son being rooted means simply that, you're rooted.. Stock rooted

how is stock rom with franco kernel running? im all stock + root but might flash a kernel if its worth it
If you're going to flash a kernel but still use stock Rom. There is absolutely no reason to do this because when a new ota comes out and you accept the ota. It will not apply because you are using a custom kernel any system tweaks done as well will affect it.
So just flash a custom Rom and do yourself a favor. If you're going to flash, don't halfa** it, go the full way there are roms out there that are very stockish such as rascarlo and modaco but for me I prefer a more feature rich rom. Same speed if not faster, no reason to not have them IMO

Not True.. The reason for failure of an OTA it's not having "stock" recovery.. Custom kernels have nothing to do with it, although you need a custom recovery to flash kernels/Roms... One could be stock rooted w/stock kernel and have custom recovery and the OTA will fail because recovery is not stock

True. But as most people in this thread are new, they wouldn't know this and most likely their ota will fail. Worst case scenario they'll be in a non boot able state and would need to fast boot stock or do a recovery maneuver to fix it. Chances of someone with a modified recovery with both stock as an combination are pretty slim, realistically speaking. On a better note, they can wait for the OTA URL link and manually flash the zip by Google which needs a custom recovery

Non able boot state?? For trying to flash OTA with custom recovery?? I doubt it... It will fail because recovery is not stock.. Then you would just reboot system after the fail and continue with business as usual... In most cases the result is that and you wont get the OTA prompt update anymore after the fail

I agree with this. But personally, I'd go with asgard. It's been the most stable and battery friendly in my opinion.

Second that! Oh and yeah bad place to put this. Actually this question get's asked a lot, yet there is no definitive answer it seems?... I believe it is all about personal preference. MIUI seems to have a great balance of everything I could want in a phone and super user friendly customization. I searched a month for a rom... Tried most 2.3.x and while they all offer something and are greatly appreciated... I just so happen to like MIUI the best. Goodluck!
Cm7 is what many people go for, but if you google the things you can do in MIUI, then you will see it offers the most features. The non stock version that nickminn updates every friday seems to be better than any other 2.3.5 rom I have seen otherwise.. but they all have bugs, reduced battery life versus 2.2.x, and barely or non working gps.
The bugs I still had when I stopped using it a few weeks ago: media button on headphones doesn't work, if listening to music when you get a call and you answer, the music will continue to play, you have to restart it after charging(at least after long charges) or it will not go into deep sleep, and occasional sd card issues(my music player would too often not be able to find the music).. the plus side is all of the features: the notification bar being customizable and shortcuts to each toggle, the ability to theme EACH part of the UI individually, the built in backup/restore, the battery tracking, the device data usage app, the multi touch drag/drop and tons more.
Also I was getting 16-20 hours under heavy/moderate use which is the best I have seen on any ginger rom including cm7.. on ANY 2.3.5 rom you need to use cpu spy to make sure it goes into deep sleep to have good battery.
Hope this helps.. there is a large trade off using any gingerbread rom until we get the source code-- I went back to 2.2.1 because EVERYTHING works, and I simply can't kill it in 24 hours unless I TRY.. I get 24-48 hours per charge. I miss the features of MIUI, but not enough for the costs-- most of the differences between 2.2 and 2.3 is mostly cosmetic in the end.
I think he means 2.2 roms that look like GB. In that case, try Bionix 1.3.1. It should be easy to find.

why would you want a 2.2 rom that looks like 2.3 when you can have 2.3?
that's like body kitting a car to look like a ferrari when you can just get a ferrari... sure the ferrari may get worse gas mileage, but it's still definitely worth it.

Root. Install rom manager. Install vibrant recovery via rom manager. Download bionix 1.3.1. Reboot into recovery. Clear cache and and dalvik cache. Install zip from sd card. First boot takes a bit and your phone starys talking saying its enabling vodoo lagfix. And then you are done

cm7, miui, and there are plenty of others. cm7 is as easy as odin to jfd, root, install rom manager, flash cm7 and the gapps. miui should be the same. for any of the samsung i9k based roms you want/have to flash new bootloaders (at least that was the case last time i used one).

if you installed clockwork recovery and you are getting the stock recovery, you need to hit 'reinstall packages' (sometimes twice).

if you read my last threads you will know i mashed my other note to pieces....
on my desire i would flash roms 3 each week without messing the phone up, so after messing up my note through formatting through cwm while on ics i am a little/lot scared about doing it again..
so i want a little help if you guys would be so kind :laugh:
i dont have the new phone with me right now, but this time i am going to learn how NOT to brake the phone before i start playing with it.
so could you please walk me through this, explain to me as you would explain to a child LOL
so as i understand it, i need to keep to gingerbread then root it, go into recovery and flash the rom from there? do i use the normal phone recovery to do this or do i have to install cwm?
i am a little worried about using cwm again tbh, or can i use mobile odin?
i want to know the easiest way, the most fool proof....
damn i was never this worried with my desire.
your probably thinking "if you are so scared then why bother" right? its just the phone is so damn laggy, even compared to my desire which was built by cave men
cheers for the help guys, asuming i get some ofcourse :fingers-crossed:
Start from a gingerbread rom, then fully root it and install clockworkmod, next boot into recovery(volume up+power+home button together). First flash paranoid android rom then flash gapps, lastly wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy

Yes, you can flash from one of the supposedly known safe ics kernels to speed the process up BUT if you want to be 100% safe in flashing to any cm9, start with a gingerbread rom.

I also just received my note from samsung after bricking it with CWM. I am so afraid I might brick it again trying to install paranoid android since I have to wait nearly a month to have my phone back in case anything happen.
Just one question, as long as I'm on paranoid android, can I just format or factory reset my phone through settings or recovery or cwm safely? Thanks a lot.

If you want to install paranoid, its cm based which means no touchwizz apps will work on it as they need the touchwizz framework. That being said, s pen still works fine and there are plenty of alternatives to the s apps (papyrus, memo etc). Also I've read that one of the devs is working on getting the s apps onto cm9 somehow, but not sure who or how its going. Also the cm9 kernel included for the rom is safe from the superbrick bug as its has the cap wlerase command disabled.
PA has a slightly different installation to other roms. I would highly recommend first installing stock rootable gb, root it and install cwm. Once that's in place perform factory reset.
Then download paranoid and g apps and copy them to external SD card.
Then FROM CWM recovery, you flash pa first by "installing zip from SD card", then do the same for g apps straight afterwards.
If you have any fc's or issues, enter back into cwm recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Boom, ready to go for full on paranoia
Its a truly great rom, very customisable and as ics should be.

The safe kernel is included in the pa rom, cm9 kernel. So long as you flash it from cwm in gb you're fine it installs it automatically.

I'm coming from the RAZR(xt912) and the droid 4 (xt894) I used safe strap 3.11 pretty simple I could flash whatever with out worry... Well both phones are now pretty much dead so I have to get a new one and I have chosen the M... So been doing a little reading on here.. I see how to root.. It seems as this has an unlockable boot loader I did not know that... I see that you have to unlock the BL and install a recovery then you can flash... Is this like safe strap can I flash ROMs and not worry about brick?Can I have multiple ROMs flashed and be able to alternate between them? I've only ever used the the RAZR and D4... Both with SS... I thank you kindly for your time...
Sent from my XT894 using xda app-developers app
I believe that there is an exploit to unlock the RAZR M's boot loader now. Allowing you to install a recovery without the need of safe strap. I never had to use safe strap as I had a dev edition which can be unlocked from the moto website.
As for ROM's, I am running Carbon ROM coming from PacMan ROM, and I've never had a brick.

right - unlocking the bootloader (which takes all of 15 seconds, but be sure to read up on it though) allows XT907 users to install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). within these custom recoveries, you can make a nandroid of whichever ROM you want, and switch back and forth between them.
the key benefit of TWRP/CWM over SS is that you don't have to create a ROM slot, thus saving you tons of space.

No, the stock ROM will be overwritten.
However, overwriting the section of the phone with Fastboot is nigh impossible, and as long as you can get back into that, you can restore to stock through Matt's 1.20 tool or RSD. I know, I've had to do it
There is also a file of 4.1.2 Stock that you can flash in the Development forum. Going back and forth from backups takes no time at all and I do it all the time. To jump from one to the other takes me maybe 10 minutes. I just keep a backup of any ROMs I want to play with.

Because Moo won't honor the warranty any more after that point. Lame, but will keep some people from doing it.

Technically, rooting it and modifying it will void the warranty. If you want to modify, then the warranty should be last thing on your mind. It's like modding a car. You know it's going to void the warranty, but you do it anyway. Well. I do it anyway.

Yeah that's what made me wait for a moment...(and the wife busted me) just in case... I have bad luck with phones... went through 5 droid 4's on warranty replacement due to bad ear piece speakers... haven't really read about defects in the device yet I'm thinking I'm good to go ... have noticed the screen flicker tho a few forums suggests its the kernel so I'm guessing it'll be gone in a flash... probably gonna give it a full week continue to educate my self on the device more

I think the warranty void issue only applies to software related stuff. if there is something wrong with the hardware, then they'll still honor that.
So... not sure what's going on. But flashing another kenel on my S4 running BeanStalk, kills all cell service and the it can't read the sim card. All APN's are gone. Can't add them either.
What?
Anyone know what I goofed?
As always, I did a full wipe and such. Any ideas?
Wow. You didn't share the phone you are on. The rom you are running. The kernel you installed. Nobody can help tit without some basic information

Well bean stock is an AOS P rom , and I did make sure I install the right kernel, it still results in the same problem

Sometimes it takes a few minutes to pick up data. It takes me between 5 to 8 minutes after first boot from a fresh flash. Let it sit for 10 minutes and see what happens.

Actually I went about 20+ minutes because I didn't realize it wasn't working the first time till I had friends calling my house trying to get a hold of me. That's when I checked it and realized it was derpin'
Lots of bugs with the 4.3 Roms is why I don't bother with them.try switching back to a 4.2.2 ROM if u can't get it going the way u want.

Well it does seem to run better than 4.2.2. When I loaded Chronic kernel, and changed the I/O to SIO I was blown away at the performance explosion!
Good deal glad u got it go n the way u wanted

Get the I9505 Omega v2 google edition 4.3 rom, flash it, flash loki doki, and most up to date 4.3 gapps. Enough said.
The download center don't work for me is there a better link u can post

Well I don't understand why the sim card dies.
Just purchased my G2 yesterday and am shocked at the amount of development being done. So far I am loving it. Speed and data for me are insane. I'm already rooted however still researching recovery options. Something is telling me this phone is a pain to flash. But Evert if that is the case the HTC one S was a pain also and there was still tons of development being done. I'm I missing something?

Just throw TWRP or CWM on it and get started. It's as simple as that. I have flashed many times already.
This is the simplest phone phone ever had.
Easy to root and easy to flash.
Just make sure read on it before you do anything.
Right know I'm on pa-4.4.km.

Agreed. Development on the G2 is amazing, the scene seems even hotter than when the Gnex came out.
My Note 3 is going on Swappa tonight!
Note 3= Dissapointment & Development Joke.
LG is really making magic happen latley.
I appreciate everyone's input. Don't get me wrong I'm loving so far. I'm just accustomed to more Roms with different ports . picking up the HTC one today. Love new toys

My question is did anyone found a way to remove that ROOTED text when you boot into download mode after going back to stock? I meant after unrooting by flashing back lg stock firmware using the ODIN or something like that.

Based on my experience after flash stock rom, at download mode root text is gone, and changed to unroot.

Okay, I'm still confused by the lack of ROMs available. No ports. Very few mods. Am I missing something? This is just my observation and not a judgment

Agreed. Especially the VS980. Development has been very slow and there are only a handful of 4.4 ROMs for it. The casual flashers will continue to praise the "quick development", but the avid crack flashers are, I'm sure, disappointed by the slow updates.
Also just my thoughts and observation. I support the ROMs I use by donating, but I don't know how to to develop.
There's only a handful of 4.4 ROMs for every phone. Carbon, AOKP and PAC aren't doing many nightlys now because of the 4.3 to 4.4 switch. When they get ROMs more stable for us we'll see more of them rolling out.
