So I had pacman v22.0.0, and I used survival mode on superSU pro to keep root, and flashed the pacman 4.3 update. My phone started lagging, overheating, and taking forever to charge. On 4.2.2 I had a few apps always running but rarely used more than 800MB of my RAM, but oh 4.3 with all the apps running the same, my RAM usage is normally about 1.4GB.
I'm assuming this has to be 4.3 right? Is it just me that's missing something, or have other people had the same experience with this?
Either way, if you're not completely running out of free ram, you have nothing to worry about.
Nope its not an issue with 4.3. I have few apps running with 800mb used . I am using PA 4.3. Never noticed any lag or overheating problems. It could be certain apps causing the issue?

Why don't you check in Running apps to see what apps are taking up your rams. I have been using 4.3 custom and now stock and its usually 400mb or less.
I assumed it was the fact that the pacman ROM had so many customizable options. I have the same exact apps running as I did before I updated, but my RAM usage has almost doubled. I know I have nothing to worry about, but when my phone is hitting 120 degrees on average, lagging, and the battery still drains while it's on the charger, I figured it's either the ROM or the fact that I didn't re root, I used survival mode. I checked my app usage, but the apps aren't accounting for most of the usage. Something else is, and I have no idea what.
With stock Rom and sometimes I can see 450mb Ram available.
So what?
Phone runs still flawlessly with no lags.
Don't get upset by numbers.

Guess it's rather the overheating and lagging that upsets him
You probably know this already, but it's not because of 4.3. Never had anything like that on PACman or CM10.2 - only once with a different kernel while navigating. But it just overheated, didn't lag or anything.
You should have flashed the factory images instead of just the zip;

I'm not upset by numbers, I tried explaining the numbers so that people who were going to respond to me with a worthwhile answer had a better understanding of what was going on.

You obviously misinterpreted him. I guess he was trying to help by comparing to his situation. Maybe he just didn't understand completely what your real problem was, but I doubt that he tried to birch you
But as was mentioned here before you should probably flash latest bootloader and modem. Either by flashing the factory image or by flashing a zip that contains both bootloader and modem.

Same here...ever since I updated my PAC 4.2 to PAC 4.3 my average ram usage is 1.4 to 1.8 gb with same number of app usage...previously it used to be 0.8 to 1.2 gb...no lag however..
P.S. it was a clean install with updated modem

Change your rom and kernel.
Sent by reversed alian technology.
Didn't need to change the ROM or kernel, I figured out the RAM bar was showing me running, AND cached processes together. There's actually only about 400mb of running processes. All the other stuff was cached. Didn't notice it till way later.

This device is blazing fast most of the time, but it will inexplicably lock up, completely, for a few minutes at a time for seemingly no reason. Right now it's frozen on a youtube video and I can't turn it off or use the screen. The device is also unusable really when installing apps, and will lag heavily in Google Now sometimes.
Is this just me? Or 4.2.1?
Just you. My N7 is still operating at warp speed and doesn't lock up..

Are you stock? If so I heard people saying turning off the sync for currents will help, for Google now lag I feel its performs better if you turn off the hot word in setting. But with that you can't say Google and start voice search
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I'm stock 4.2.1 and don't have those issues. I do have currents (and various other apps) disabled, so like previous response said try that. Otherwise maybe go with a factory reset.
When my gnex updated to 4.2 it's performance suffered until I factory reset, now it's been much better.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My best guess would be you have installed an app that is not compatible with 4.2.
How about posting a list of what you have installed, if you use multi-user, and if you are stock (not rooted), and we can give comments.
I agree. I'm running PA and rock solid. I was also rock solid on stock.
I've never had it lock up. I flashed a Trinity kernel once that caused sleep of death... but it was a known issue.

I have a pretty decent amount of apps installed. I'll post them in a minute, but no, I'm not multi-user, and I'm stock. I'll root and put a new rom on this thing if it's worth it, I figured it'd be fine the way it came.
btw, here are my androbench results. Are these slow?

thanks, I'll try disabling those.
Over 100 apps in total, my andronbench write speed is clearly an error so just compare read and app open macros.
My apps open much faster than yours, which I'd put down to PA ROM and kernel. Maybe your write speed is a bit slow?
Can you download "forever gone" from market and try a full fill and delete? Apparently helps reset the memory controller to improve performance.

What rom & kernel are you using? How much free space do you have? Just my opinion, but the best rom to run on a nexus is stock, unlocked and rooted. There isn't a bug free rom out there except stock and there's no need to overclock yet because tegra 4 games aren't out yet.
Hi everyone,
I posted a few months back whether I should buy a Nex 4 or not. Now that I did, I have another Q.
With my old Galaxy S, i HAD to root and install ROMs cuz it was reaaaally slow. Now, with the Nex 4, it's super fast that I'm not even thinking about ROMing it any time soon. However, I was wondering about rooting it. Does rooting affect the speed? it made my GS faster. Will it do the same for the Nexus?
Thanks.
Just rooting won't actually do anything but installing the right apps will. Of course if you overclock it it will get faster, but personally I underclock it to save battery. I'd say it is definitely worth rooting it. You never know you might feel like installing a ROM later so it can't hurt to root now. Basically everything rooting did to your GS it will do to your N4 but the nexus is already fast.

I'd suggest a kernel change at least. The stock kernel made my phone very hot sometimes and the battery life sucked.
Unlock bootloader, root, start modding and theming, or flash custom rom, have fun, and ignore all the idiot trolls here.

To each his own.
I rooted my Gnex the first day I got it. Although I plan on staying stock for awhile on the N4 since my favorite custom rom (CM) seems to be a bit glitchly atm.
What I did for an while was run stock-rooted for a bit. I turned ALL animations in Dev Options to .5 and my phone was flying! Quick to menus, opening and closing apps, and saving RAM. Battery life was great considering I'm a stickler when it comes to WiFi and Data toggled. Than I would run either PACman or Paranoid Android. Both were fluid experiences. But nothing beat Stock Rooted speeds.
It just matters what you're looking for. Try ROMs out, there's plenty of them out there! Good luck and happy rooting!

Honestly I thought exactly like you when I first got this phone but I eventually decided to root and install custom ROMs and I like my phone a lot better. I think you should

I did a few searches and wasn't really able to pull up much in the way of battery tweaks, what's everyone doing in terms of this? I'm currently running stock rom, all I did was fully update after getting the phone from Sprint and then rooted and proceeded to install twrp using goomanager. I'm coming from the Galaxy S2 running calks GB build, so I'm used to 3 days of battery with heavy usage! I know this phone won't be able to achieve that right out of the gate with the current level of development going on, but I'm sure I can optimize it some how. I'd consider going to a custom ROM and kernel..flashing seems similar to the S2 but I'm nervous!

Tried it... and if anything I got LESS battery life because it runs in the background constantly.
@vadyr56 Download KT SGS4 Kernel, I'd also recommend to download GSam Battery Monitor and see if you have anything running in the background a little too much!
I get phenomenal battery life with no tweaks stock rooted. I turn off most things since I don't use them and thats about it.

I have recorded the thing and uploaded a video....tablet is stock locked and unrooted. Tablet works normally without any evident issues....why im seeing this artifacts before the google logo and how can i fix it? It is software or hardware related? Thank you very much i hope someone can help me here is the video :

Im not sure if the issue was there before updating since i just updated the tablet by ota to the last 4.4.4 as soon i get it. I tried a clean flash from stock and the artifacts on boot are still there...i cant flash other custom roms because im stock and locked....more infos are appreciated I would like to know if its normal and if its hardware or software issue
Thank you very much

Mine has always had that as well. I don't think it's that big of a deal since they disappear right away. Possibly a combination of hardware and software. Maybe due to the Mali GPU chip? I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Seems to be pretty common on this device. Now if they don't disappear, then that's a problem.

Yes the artifacts disappear after the google logo. This thing happen only with the stock rom or even with custom roms? Unfortunately i cant try since its a gift, i hope this artifacts are not sign of a hardware defect.

I was using SlimBean 4.2.2 correctly, but updating to SlimKat 4.4 this problem appeared, but I also updated TWRP from 2.6.3.0 to 2.7.10.
Same problem with others ROMS as Purity and RastaKat and different kernels as KTManta and Trinity.
Are you using TWRP or CWM?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Im using the stock recovery since my nexus 10 its stock locked and unrooted. So every nexus 10 owner who updated to kitkat would experience this thing...This issue has been reported to google? My retailer told me that i can RMA the device but if every Nexus 10 have this artifacts at boot then its useless to RMA.…also im new to the Nexus 10 forum as i own a nexus 7. This problem has been mentioned on other topics? Thank you

Ok, then this must be a problem with Google's sources (a GPU driver error?) because it is a common issue between different ROMs, Kernels and recoveries, but I do not know if Google has been notified.
