Hello., my nexus 4 is really fast, however I've noticed that the boot up speed is really slow it takes 1 min 30 to 2 mins and I have checked the nexus 4 boot up time on YouTube and they are in 30 Seconds or so. I'm running stock, rooted and with xposed and I have tried boot manager hasn't really made any difference.

How much apps did you installed on your device? What xposed module did you installed and what other mods are you using apart from xposed?
In my app drawer I have around 157 apps and I have quite a few modules such as gravity box, xblast tools, greenify, have around 10 in total. And I also have viper 4 android and that's about it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Some apps may have the permision to start so that's why you have a slow boot up.
BTW Viper4Android slowed my boot up too so i stoped using it.
So ... Viper4Android and Gravity Box are 99% causing the problems.
Thanks for the reply, I see the reason why but than again these are my most two common mods that I use.

As we all know on paper this phone is a beast but in real life not so much. Now that I had this phone for a week I can definitely say that my Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.3 ROM was faster than this phone (no joke).
I mean the only thing that really bothers me a lot with this phone (and I don’t know if its touchwiz related) is lock screen lag. Sometimes when I’m locking or unlocking the phone it takes a good second or two to “wake up” or “go to sleep”
Do any of you guys notice the same problem? If so is the any way to fix this now that we have root access?
I’m also looking for any other tips and tricks to make this phone a little faster
Thanks in advance
Nova or Apex Launcher, and ditch the window animations.

Zero animations will help a little but it won't work miracles. You are used to an aosp-style rom, and Touchwiz simply is not that. Once we get Safestrap, devs will get debloated TW roms for this beast. Until then, you just have to deal with TW lag & bloat

Try to freeze/remove the "S Voice" application that maps itself to ---> double tap Home key.
By removing it, it removes the double tap mapping which greatly helped with home button wake lag on my Note 2
Next most common thing to help you is to use an app such as Android Tuner to edit the stock kernel CPU clocks. In deep sleep(=screen off), you can raise the mhz of the CPU so it takes less time to wake up. Not sure if you can do this on stock kernel/locked bootloader just yet and this will eat more battery in general if your phone is in deep sleep often
I want to make this thread to benefit all of us.
What useful rooted apps would you guys recommend or even have installed ☺
I'll get the ball rolling
Adaway-- Blocks ads
Greenify-- Puts apps in hibernation mode
Obackup (letter o not zero)-- Backup without having to enter TWRP or CWM
GSAM battery-- Monitors battery
Flashify-- flashes .img's without having to enter fastboot mode or thorough emulator
SetCPU-- Kernel control
Etc, you get the point ?

Root explorer-- self explanatory
Titanium backup-- a must have
Franco kernel updater (F.K.U. app)-- all encompassing app regarding franco kernel

ClockSync, syncs your clock with an atomic time server.
You can get xprivacy from xposed installer or use app ops but I think xprivacy is better

Not a lot more I can add to the list but if you guys are interested in customisation head over to the candy shop 4.4 forum.
Also I currently have touch control and screen off running, giving me the function of knock on from LG g2 and the ability to lock from screen, so basically all gestures and no use of power button. A pretty cool feature to have in my opinion.

FYI. It doesn't sync with the atomic clock but instead is pretty much just NTP. It looks to sync with a stratum 2 server at ntp.org which is a few removed from the atomic clock. I ran stratum 0 servers for a telcom.
This is a useful tool to specify what ntp server you want to sync with but TMO, AT&T and the rest have stratum 0 servers that their handsets get time from over their respective networks.

which battery app would you suggest?
Have tried Gsam, DU battery & circle battery (or something like that)..
all giving varying results...
and could someone suggest a good app to view what apps are currently running, how much battery/memory they using & the ability to kill them..
and perhaps kill all as well??

I love this phone, but the stock ROM seems to be missing the bits needed for the various App Ops programs to work. I've been running AOSP/AOKP/AICP ROMs for so long now, I totally forgot that the permissions code had been removed.
Is there any way to add the code back, so these apps will work again?

I've never used xprivacy, though I've seen many swear by it. I'll install xposed tonight and check it out. Can't wait for a good aftermarket ROM. Haven't seen one yet.... bit I haven't been looking too hard, either.

Thanks for all the replies/advice. I finally got around to installing the xposed framework, as well as a bunch of modules (forgot how great it was). I installed AppOps for xposed, as well as Xprivacy. Xprivacy takes forever to setup, but has a lot more granularity.
Lollipop. The snapdragon 410 cpu. I want to be sure before I flash xposed from twrp. I would also like to hear if there are any major bugs with xposed on the Leon at this point. Thanks.
I'm not sure about flashing Xposed onto the stock rom, but on CM 12.1 I'm having no problems with Xposed. I'm currently running modules such as gravitybox, snapprefs, xgels, lolistat, youtube adaway etc. without any problems.
Been using xposed without issue on my Leon. No complaints. Flash the standard arm version. Using gravity box tweak, YouTube ad away. Haven't tried any others. This is my backup phone so I limited myself to root/recovery/backup/tibackup/debloat. Pretty impressed with this for the $55 I spent on it. Not a bad little device.

Stock ROM. Xposed works fine on CM/AOSP builds but you have to use caution when installing modules that can cause conflicts.

Would you mind listing which modules you have on it?
(I seem to remember that GravityBox LP had a warning that it might not play nice with skinned ROM's so I'm especially curious about that.)
I have YouTube ad away, YouTube background playback, gravitybox, and play store fixes, because I changed the DPI settings.
Gravitybox is for traffic monitor, status bar and recents mods. Not really a whole lot else that works in there.

I like to use GravityBox for lockscreen shortcuts and notification overrides (to make it vibrate for longer so I don't miss messages).
I'm guessing these won't work?
Also has anyone tried the Mobile Radio Active bug fix module? The Leon has the same active radio bug as all the LP devices out there- so a fix would be handy...
I don't have an answer for either of your questions. Try and see what happens. Just know how to disable xposed if a problem occurs.
