If that's the 4g than yes lol. I'm using matrix 14.0 right now and its very smooth. Can't account for battery life much cause this is first day using it.

wouldn't download from my phone either, I had to do it from my computer.

I've been running this for a couple days now. And its freaking awesome. One of the more original roms that are around. I really like the toggles in the notification. Took me a minute to find them tho. I flashed this twice before I figured it out. I haven't had any issues at all. Except for the occasional browser crash but I've got that with every ics rom. To download on your phone try requesting desktop page, or use opera mobile. I'm hanging on to this one for a while. If only I could get the on screen buttons.

I typically use Pete's ROMs, because I like the vanilla experience. I've heard some good things about this ROM though, so I'm considering it. How "vanilla" is it?
As a gauge, I think CM7 is far too "bloated". No hate, just personal preference.

Since I have seen the Nexus devices confused in this thread I hope this helps.
i9020T - SAMOLED GSM with AWS bands for T-Mobile's 3g.
i9020A - SAMOLED GSM with ATT's 3g bands.
i9023 - SLCD GSM sold in some European countries.
D720 - SAMOLED CDMA and WiMAX for Sprints 3g and 4g networks. The D720 is the only Nexus S model to carry the 4G tag as its the only nexus s with 4g.
Hope that helps clear the confusion.

hey buddy can you please add this rom in the development section, i am sure it will become the most downloaded rom especially those notification widgets wow ...

Best kernel for battery life?

Hi all
I'm currently running Cyanogenmod with faux's kernel and getting pretty good results, just wondered what other people are using to get great battery life?
Thanks in advance
Sam

No such thing as a best kernel. Some phones like certain kernels more than others. Experiences vary.
If you're looking for kernel suggestions I'd go with Franco or Trinity by morfic (Google to find his kernel as it isn't on xda).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

This is really subjective and is something you would need to test out on your own to get any solid answers since there's so many factors that could affect the outcome.

Thank you but it was just to see what others recommend. I've heard good things about the matrix kernel
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Also when using those kernels download the app trickster mod it'll let you customize the kernel settings but don't touch anything you don't understand because you might mess something up. Franco and morfic have paid apps that customize their kernel but trickster is a free alternative until you commit to one kernel

Franco or Matrix...But while using Franco Ive seen a big difference in battery and thats just my experience with it but like the others say just try em out and see wats best for you my friend..

Agreed. Franco really knows what he's doing, no offense to the other developers. Morfic is another good developer.
Wasn't a huge fan of matrix on the Nexus S. Just my personal opinion (don't attack me because I prefer one kernel over another!)

Nothing against math kid but (not saying he does this) but there are some shady developers or Rom cookers who say they added their secret special tweaks to boost speed or performance. I don't believe it because it's placebo. If there's no proof in the source then it doesn't exist.
Franco actually says what he did, and you can see it in the results. Plus he's very adamant about replying to feedback as long as it's not a silly question like "can I under volt using this kernel???" There's a reason why he has 20k thanks
But either way enough of my rant. Hope op finds a kernel he likes. I'd start using the most popular kernel out there and use it for a couple of days. If you aren't satisfied then try another. Satisfied but want to see if you can do better? Go ahead and try. They're all free anyways, the beauty of xda

Franco doesn't support undervolting because,
I answered that the last page. UV comes when I think its a good time for it. I do my own thing, not follow what other people do on their kernels.

I really don't care much about undervolting, I think in the end its more placebo than anything. Sure it might help a little bit, but not as much as users think it does. Aggressive cpu frequency management, core management, now thats where true savings come from in my opinion.

I don't really undervolt my phone and have pretty good battery life as it is. I didn't undervolt on my Galaxy Nexus either because it had something called Smart Reflex undervolted for you when necessary. more info @ http://www.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspcontent.tsp?contentId=52746#a18
---- Franco isn't saying that there won't be UV support but as of right now he's focused on other things and will add it when it becomes more stable. And I agree with him on the second part about there are other parts of the kernel that can be worked on to have better battery life rather than just having people UV as the solution (for now).
Edit: there's a reason why his thread on GN has Views: 4,859,042 http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p163/gbd270/views_zps2644eff7.jpg

Even there's no UV on his r14, this kernel is very stable and I've a (very) good battery life

I really appreciate all your responses, so what settings do you recommend for best battery life on Franco's kernel?

On your phone they do they sucked on mine. I went from 2 to 2 1/2 hours to 4 because of a kernel.

If takes a couple of recharges for the kernel to come into effect. Have to give if a few days for your phone to get used to it.

If u are talking to me Ive had my phone since Thanksgiving I gave it 3 weeks before I flashed a custom kernel. My stock kernel never got any better. U got a awesome stock phone I wish I had the same luck.

A suggestion would be to add a poll and let people vote on the different kernels.

Why do you want to downgrade?

I knew I'd get a sensible answer eventually lol. Was just curious to see if some of the bugs we are facing on 4.2.1 were to dissapear with 4.1.2
I had a funny feeling it would be a lot of work involved. Oh well. Cheers

I've wondered this myself. I know xda is all about having the latest and greatest, but on my gnex 4.1.1/4.1.2 were absolutely perfect. it was super smooth, everything worked and there was no crazy battery drain issues. 4.2 seems rushed, hopefully they'll sort it out in the next update

The most pressing bugs are in the kernel so even if the ROM gets ported they will persist.
You can try flashing an old rom on the new kernel and see what happens.

Someone got Gingerbread with a Jelly Bean kernel running on his Nexus 7.
It's definitely possible, but will probably include some work.

Should I put CyanogenMod on my Nexus 4?

Hi, I'm new to the rooting/android community and I'm wondering if it is worth it to try out CyanogenMod... What are the pros and con's?
Thanks

More features. Possible* better battery.. There is so much and there's more than CM to try out
Sent from my Dirty-Trinity-Unicorn'd Nexus⁴

Yes.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Yeah, there are more features and probably better performance/battery. You could start out with the RC5 build since it is the most stable and updated build but generally the nightly builds are pretty stable with minor bugs too. Personally, I prefer AOSPA since it has very innovative features that make my phone that much more unique :]

If you don't like it you can flash another Rom or go back to stock. You'll probably end up trying different roms and finding out what you like.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

sure man. couldnt hurt to learn a bit about your phone in the process as well
just dont be stuck with cm. its not the only stable rom, and it is definitely not the most stable so dont worry about having to just play it safe with cm.

Try PACman Rom, has Cyanogenmod, AOKP and Paranoid Android, the top 3 roms in my opinion. this way you can see all the features and then flash the rom you like the most or stick to it...whatever floats your boat

Yes

if you are satisfied with stock then No , if you feel some features that you would use are missing then go for it.
as for battery life, from my own experience, stock was the best option for me so far.

Use Carbon instead. Has the features CM has but a lot more. Nav width/height adjustment is a must for me. CM doesnt have that and wont put it in.

Looking for a new rom as a daily driver

I've grown bored of CM, Slim, and Paranoid Android, so I'm looking for an interesting rom, my main stipulation is the source has to be out there so I can go and look around in it (and likely build it since I'm weird like that), MIUI looks interesting, but I'm still looking to see if the source is out there.
So I'm looking for input, does anyone have any suggestions of a ROM I can take, build and customize my own version of and use as my main rom?

I don't believe MIUI releases source code.
And essentially any AOSP ROM that has a repo can easily be built. I used AICP to build from its repo and it worked fine. Customizing has different meanings to everyone.

I though miui was closed source not positive on that but either way its awesome ROM if you find anything good please share I was looking for something like MokeOS (sp?)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

For what its worth I use and reccomend F2FS version of Carbon ROM, but it maybe too similar to CM,Slim,PA for you.

Found a good one I can work with, tried it in the past, at the time it was a bit much, anyway, it's PACman, I did like some of the things they did with it.

I suggest liquid smooth. Its super fast and there are a ton of built in customizations. And about the coolest boot animation I've ever seen

Why would anyone recommend miui. It looks like iOS lol go buy a damn iPhone
I recommend slimrom. Smooth, fast and stable.
