Hey all!
Simple question: Does GRAM works on AOSP roms?! Is it a software or a hardware feature?! Or maybe both?!
Thanks!

Good Question,
Was wondering this myself
Any opinions on this?
If I had to guess I would think that gram feature is activated through either the rom or kernel, so it probably isnt working on AOSP based ROMs. But thats just a guess due to how the feature activates.

What makes me confused is some reports in those AOSP roms of better battery life!!! I really highly doubt it!
I've had the S2, S3 and never AOSP gives better battery life than stock roms! I think this also applies to highly optimized software like the one on our LG G2 or HTC one!
Its really a toss up on battery life, no matter what phone. It depends on the feature you use and how they are implemented so no one can say AOSP gives better or Touchwiz gives better, or anything like that. Usually it is the apps within the ROM that give the bad battery life, such as Google Now. Stock GNow is just terrible on battery, and from what I can tell LG didnt do anything to GoogleNow to optimize it or change its function in any way. The Samsung or HTC implementation of it may give better battery life. There are also a lot of rom features in system apps that drain a lot more battery in Touchwiz and Sense than the stock AOSP.
The reason people get better battery on AOSP for this phone right now is because of two reasons:
1) the kernel default speed is 1.5GHz, meaning even at max it wont ever drain as much battery as stock
2) AOSP based ROMs have less bloat in them right now that isnt draining as much battery leading to better idle life.
You are partially right but not completely! Software optimisation has a lot of role in here!
A big example is let's say the HTC one being able to deliver 10hrs of browsing on its modest 2300ma. I dare you that AOSP can't do that!
Also see iPhones which have like 1400ma and have some amazing battery life.
So allow me to say you are wrong! Software optimisation has a lot to do!
Besides when I wrote my last comment it was out of experience and not speculation. I always have the same apps and most of the time touchwiz (although it has more bloatware) had mich bettery life! So NO it's not only about the apps! There's something much deeper than that!

Are you saying that no custom rom gives better battery life?!
Can't say I agree with that at all. Anytime I've changed a stock blaoted rom for a well put together aosp rom the battery has always been better.

Read my reply above sir!
Anyway that's just not the main issue! The question here is Does GRAM works on AOSP or not?!
It would be great, but i'm afraid we need some developer here. Maybe they can port the script from LG frimwares to use it in other roms. I would buy a beer for that hero!

No to being rude, but really doubt that HTC One can deliver 10hrs on browsing. Where did you get this info?
I owned H1 previously, even browsing via wifi, there is no way it could survive that long.

Still can ´t find answer if GRAM works on AOSP roms. Every AOSP rom has really big drain from screen. On LG stock rom top one draining process is system.
So is it because LG rom is heavy bloated and android system on AOKP is so light that screen is bigger drainer or GRAM really doesn´t work on AOSP roms.

Honestly, for me atleast, depends what GB rom your running. I'm on Simply Honey 3.9 and I love it. I see no reason to stay on froyo unless you use your gps everyday.
Aside from the differences already mentioned above, the main reason why I won't be switching to froyo anymore (even without official GB release from samsung) is the app EQUALIZER...which works only when you're on GB
This makes the phone produce sound quality that trashes froyo anytime of the day. It even makes better sound than DSP manager IMHO And did I mention that the reverb feature is sweet?

..... seriously? ok so an "official" release of 2.3 "might" increase battery life.But for the current people running 2.3.4 (cm7, miui, simply Honey, revolution, etc) i doubt anyone is getting 50% better battery life over 2.2 least no one i have spoken to. Now thats not to say battery life itself is terrible. it's not, it's adaquate for the average user, and good enough to make 2.3.4 my daily driver, but i personally see about 8-10 hours LESS battery time with most 2.3 roms Vs Froyo stock. But the many other features in 2.3 is where it shines, UI smoothness, gpu and cpu optimization, better streamlining for flash implementation, and better customization options for the UI as a whole. but this is my take on 2.3.4 and i'm personally very satisfied even without my stable gps.

Hey guys when I got Nexus S it's official software update was at 4.1.1 so it didn't make sence to tri GB or ICS roms, it felt like a downgrade, everyone wants the latest stftware, right? But I recently got to thinking that when Galaxy Nexus came out with the first ICS people who had a Nexus S didn't really hurry to upgrade case they knew that they would be getting ICS asswell, but now with 4.2 not being supported ofitially it makes since to change the phone. My point is that eaven if GB and ICS are older the develpoment was more alive, so what are your thoughts? Should I try Gb or ICS? Whats the best experience you had in terms of music, video battery life gameplay (eaven if I never play games on a phone) regardless of the software wersion. I should mention that I'm a flashaholic so it doesent matter what rom I use case I get bored with it pretty fast, I'm always eger to flash something on my phone.
ICS is laggy. GB looks and feels outdated. Jelly bean is your best bet for a complete user experience.
1. Install carbon unofficial rom: http://goo.im/devs/Gingo21/Carbon/Crespo/CARBON-JB-EXP-17AVRIL2013-161548-crespo.zip
2. Install voodoo sound app and configure.
3. Enjoy a lag-free overall user experience (limited to most games) and great battery life (although i experienced the longest battery life on slim 4.2.1 v1.1, but not as fast as carbon)
4. Don't expect your NS to be as fast as a quad core device. But it can be on par with a dual core device in terms of UI and gaming experience.

Yes I know a custom rom isn't going to do wonders, I was just curious about older roms that I didnt try, I'm actually on Carbon, the last nightly, but the unofficial seames to be better than all the nightly's put together, thank you
ICS is generally the most battery friendly (can last days), but laggy.
Difficult to answer
I've been using Carbon ROM with Marmite kernel 8.5(bigmem), the experience has been quite good, much better than these low end devices i have at home. UI is buttery smooth and fluid. Temple Run 2 is a bit slow-ish but i dont mind. Now the main factor, battery! yes its not that great, GB was the best i hear. I think my battery is faulty too, might go for a 2450 mAh battery.

If you have too many apps, 4.2 will be very laggy and have a pour battery life.
But i dont know how! Gamerz ROM still feeling like im on 4.1! Its fast and the performance is the best for a 4.2!
I have tryed all of those ROM in development thread. This is my favorite .
ICS is good two. Is a little slow than 4.1. But i liked it.
Just try some ROMs for a day or two. You will be pleasured ;/

amazing sys
Jellybean is great but using it on the Nexus S is a really bad measuring stick to gauge Jellybean.. If you use the last official 4.1.1 build the Nexus S runs fair if you keep it as a minimalistic smartphone. (defaultish). Still.. It's more than obvious there is some severe limiting of performance due the single core CPU and severely limited amount of RAM.. 4.2.. Eh.. Too much.. I tried keeping my Nexus S active as just an MP3 player but PowerAmp randomly hitches during playback.. I put the phone to bed...
I have to say that generally speaking JB 4.2 is the best system that our Nexus S can run and the best user experience. We all know different usages means different results in battery life, lags, amount if free ram but in any case I feel confident in saying that once you have flashed a 4.2 rom there's no reason to go back to ICS or even to GB. It feels like an overall better experience and performance. Still, I wish the OS were a little more light on the small stock battery but hey, it's a decent tradeoff. Most of the time I'm on 2G data only because that's ok for my kind of usage (mostly emails and twitter) and with that the battery is quite decent.
The only issue that I have seen with the 4.2 roms I have tried is that after a few days (4 or 5) the cached apps are not recalled very quicly when launched. I usually reboot once a week and the problem is gone but in any case I don't feel dissatisfied at all.
I love jelly bean works great

If you root it and flash a good kernel than the battery life and the screencolors are much better. I run Franco kernel myself and i think it is one of the best kernels out there and gives you a 1,5 to 2 hours extra screenontime. But there are other ones as well. Best thing is to try them out and keep the one you like most. But in the kernel lies the biggest gain in battery and colors, not in the rom`s. And the N4 has no bloatware and gets updated to the latest firmware first.

In my opinion it's a good upgrade.
Battery life is longer if you choose right kernel, people can get 5+ hours screen on time on wifi and 4+ on 3G.
Charger works like a charm, no one has issue with the charger yet.
Software is definitely better on N4, it's pure google experience, faster and smoother. No battery drain issue on CM based or non-stock rom. You won't notice any lag on this device.
Camera is a bit disappointing tho, if you took so much pictures with your phone.
You won't see any "not working" list or "known issue" on any custom rom here as long as it's android based.
Overall N4 is better than i9300.

Just to add to all, almost every rom for n4 is bugless so you can try all and they will be for daily use. (maybe some exceptions there).

and just look at the previous Nexus phones they have longer life than any other main flagship phones from different companies...always get updated and development still going strong for those phones
For the sake of money I would say no: you could get some more battery life and stock Android, but on the other hand you can just install CM 10 for example and the camera will be worse.

Well, apparently, it's just the same to the HTC ONE AT&T, & an hour better than the international version.

I've tried TrickDroid Sense, but not Vanilla version. Battery life is bit better than stock sense ROM.
I'm on InsertCoin's sense & the battery is also a bit better than stock sense ROM.
I'm quite disappointed when reading this 1
In the past, I always looked for AOSP/AOKP ROMs to max out battery life, but it doesn't work that way anymore huh.
Sentinel sounds interesting. I should give that a try then...
I'm getting around 5 hours of screen on time which is slightly better than on Android Revolution where I got around 4 and a half hours. Either way, good enough for me. I'm loving stock Android on the One. After taking a two week break from Android with an iPhone 5, I've come back with a new sense of appreciation for Android. It feels nice.

As far as performance this phone comes stock with really great performance, really even battery for that matter. However there is not much your going to be able to do to increase performance of apps like messaging, Gmail, etc. Those apps will already be pretty much flawless. As far as battery all you can do without root is the regular stuff like disable GPS, AUTO SYNC, use auto brightness. There are several apps that claim to help with battery. I used to use Juice Defender back a couple years ago. If you root your phone there is much more you can do. Mods, tweaks, roms, custom kernels, etc. Good luck!

As jcnbama stated its pretty sweet outta the box...but to have an all around improvement performance/battery wise you're gonna wanna root your device and install a custom rom...rooting is much simpler and much safer than on many devices...Mahdi aosp rom seems to give the most stability, performance and extreme battery life in my opinion...

You can call me a fanboy or whatever but I've yet to find any custom ROM that outperforms stock in battery life or performance, especially stability. There are some big trade offs too like audio quality and camera (even on mahdi) which are both deal breakers for me. Sad, since I love stock android but stock ticks every box.

Yeah...you would have to be a fanboy to still think stock outperforms aosp in any way...especially Mahdi...benchmarks(which I don't trust to be accurate)show higher...as well as side by side tests of stock and aosp shows how muchs faster tasks are completed...But...at least as far as the g2 is concerned I can see why you love stock...I have been stuck with Samsung's touchwiz ui for my last 3 devices...it was uglyAnd downright overfilled with bloatware...but fully rooted and with a few tweaks I could see myself using stock on the g2...but I still get better stability, performance and battery life on Mahdi than I have experienced on anything hands down

I didn't like it right off the bat. I loved cm 10.2 and I was pretty happy on Mahdi until I played music over Bluetooth. No matter how many audio tweaks and kernel tweaks I made I just couldn't get to sound good. The video camera audio was the same. I can live with the odd random reboot but the sound quality of stock is what sealed it for me.

How long has it been since you tried it?most if not all of these bugs have been fixed...I couldn't use it due to buggyness either...I tried it after the 6-28 release and it was smooth sailing ever since...every update has continued to improve my experience and its my dd at this point...I actually do keep a backup of stock(all bloat removed and lots of optimizations) due to to some features that only come stock...but I have faster 4g and WiFi connectivity using mahdi...don't know why...I guess one could argue good and bad for both here...but I guess since touchwiz from Sammy just wasn't an option for me aosp is what I'm accustomed to...lol

Its been a while since I tried it. I've been on the cloudy Roms and cloudyg3 is my daily driver now, surprisingly. Running perfect for me anyway. I'll have to give Mahdi another go before android L comes into effect. Its good to know they're perfecting it. The OP's head must be spinning now with all this information.
