having tried both, I must say that I'm not very happy with Lollipop. I guess I just expected more with less bugs. The fact that I am unable to use Xposed is also a factor for me. I enjoy having the ease and convenience of being able to place the buttons where I want them and to use the tools that I want to use!
I switched over long enough to build a kernel with a Lollipop base. For those interested in the kernel, it has everything but the sound control of my other kernel.***Corrected*** It does now.
there is no doubt that Lollipop is really fast, but KitKat on my tablet is pretty blazing as well.
What do you think? What are your views?
Staying with lollipop. It's working fantastic. Great battery life.

I have the GPE edition and have no intention of going back, but all I do is root, debloat, and install TWRP, although I have considered a custom kernel to get the knock-on function I love on my G3.
The only annoyance I have is when my tab is starting to go to sleep and I tap the screen to keep it awake and the screen very slowly fades-in. I think it should be instantaneous.
Had to revert back to Lollipop.

You can use the app in my kernel thread (third post) to enable knock on. Just knock on on lollipop. It is native to the device. No kernel change required. If you wish to install my kernel to try it out, just install in recovery. If you dont find it to work better, just restore from recovery. don't have swipe to sleep working yet. *** Correction*** Now it does, and knock on is enabled as default.

I understand OPs point but I think I'll give L a bit longer before I decide. I'm using cm12 and whilst it's fast, it's pretty ugly. Cm11 was still quick

I'm sticking with Lollipop. Since picking up a Surface Pro 3, the GPE isn't my primary tablet device anymore. I like having at least one device with Lollipop on it so I can familiarize myself with the changes, and I definitely like how much smoother it is. Like everyone else, I miss Xposed, but everything is a trade-off. I understand why someone would stay on KitKat, though.
Was using your kernel on 4.4.4 on my GPe.
Upgraded to 5.0 and am going to stay on it - noticed an improvement in battery life (especially when idle)

Just updated the Lollipop kernel for every option the 4.4.4 kernel had, plus enabled Knock-On by default. - no more app needed.
Find the latest version, LollipopSleekai2 <HERE>
Recommend using the Interactive governer. Row scheduler enabled by default. Options for Fast Charge, Sound Control, Color Control, Sweep2Sleep, and many others, available through the Trickstermod App. init.d is also enabled by default, and both a Zip Align script and a Battery Saving script are available in the second post of my kernel thread.

Oops my bad.. I reverted back to KitKat, I could not find my 5 GHz networks on Wifi ( Tomato Router with WPA2 Security )
I'll be staying with Lollipop.... I didn't even bother to unlock the bootloader on my GPE since there wasn't much development (other than your kernel) going on. I'm liking have the same system on both my tablet and phone right now, running an EXP build of CM12 on my G2.

I use a 5g network everyday. Stock 5.0 GPE.
Tried to stay with Lollipop and tried all different kernels and tweaks - reverting back to KitKat 444 as it is smooth and had so many more easy to config options (such as the simplicity of CM in general).
Frankly also I wasn't impressed by the so called simple, clean look of Lollipop using CM. Got to like the simple column layout of the CM444 and so am staying with CM12 Snapshot with Red kernel #11 and 442 base and the smoothness of 444 and NO errors to content with. May consider changing after all smooths out...but now, staying with a proven Rom.

I'm probably gonna revert back to KitKat. Lollipop looks great, but my gpad gpe is slower and battery is worse. I'll see how it is with sleekmasions kernel, but if it doesn't get better I'm going back .

Use trickster to switch the governer to interactive. Should have interactive set as default soon, and hopefully gamma control as well. And yeah, even with all the work I'm doing on the lollipop kernel, KitKat was ironed out nicely. May still switch back when I've got the lollipop kernel under control. Also, somebody is working on cyanogenmod for the gpe, so that may solve things nicely if they can get it working
There is hope for a Lollipop mod to replace xposed! The legendary Paul posted his plan for the Nexus device's first and then hopefully expand it to others...

Hi everybody! I have some "newbie" questions about CyanogenMod 9...
1. Is it really faster compared to stock ICS? I haven't overclocked the processor and my main problem with ICS, is that the default launcher has a little stuttering some times and it's not absolutely smooth. In CyanogenMod9, the "Trebuchet" launcher is almost at the same level in terms of "movement flow".
I had Nova launcher previously and I'm thinking of installing it again on CyanogenMod 9...will this be a right move?
2. What else is better than the stock ICS there? Ι already use that marvelous power widget inside the notification bar, but, except some similar workflow tweaks, I can't see anything else...any feature list compared to the stock ICS 4.0.4?
3. Why the torch toggle-in-notification is disabled in settings? (the pre-installed torch seem to work perfectly)
4. Screen brightness gets increased when there is a lot of light around, but It doesn't decrease its brightness when I go in a dark room again...Am I doing something wrong? (I haven't touched those sensor filters etc...)
Can you please help me? I'm not a developer and I'm mostly concerned about a smooth and fast experience.
1. Make a nandroid and try it out yourself.
There is no right move. Do whatever it is you want. Your phone won't explode if you install the "wrong" launcher.
2. Take a look at the popular roms in the dev section and repeat #1. Or look at bedalus's benchmarks if you're really that apprehensive.
3. probably hasn't had the bugs worked out.
4. again, maybe a bug. After you flash a couple of roms I'm sure you'll see that you can get #3 and #4 working.
More doing and less thinking. As I said, you have a nandroid to fall back on.

Thanks for the response!
1. If you read carefully my post (sorry for my bad English), you will understand that I already have tried CM9 v6.0 and that was the reason I wanted to know more, because I don't see any performance improvement over stock ICS 4.0.4 on my Nexus S. Am I wrong? There must be some objective reasons except my judgement.
2. I was talking specifically about CM9 features.
3. I figured that with the torch...it's probably not ready yet. I can't find any post about the brightness though (there are so many options there which I don't fully understand and brightness never works as it should).
4. I don't want to flash other roms...I have already flashed Wildestpixel's roms and I didn't see an obvious performance difference too...
For trebuchet if you check (or unchecked I forget) the join with apps setting it makes the launcher just as smooth as gingerbread
Well, I switched from Bugless Beast today to latest CM9 nightly (15.4, not the KalimochoAz version posted on here).
Haven't tried CM9 for a while and it surprised me, speed wise and stuff integrated in it. I'm a fan of stockish ROM's, that's why I used BB since ICS came out. What made me stay is:
- integration of BLN & Voodoo sound, meaning I don't need to run those 2 apps in BG (saves memory ofcourse, I'm a sucker for optimization)
- BigMem is quite noticeable, also RAM free right after clean flash is about 200MB (vs 140MB on AOKP, which is the ****tiest, meaning when I use the apps I have in BG, there was constant launcher restart - low on RAM)
- seems like internal storage speed is faster, I noticed level loading on Where's my water game is perhaps the same as on GB (was waay slower when ICS came out)
- nice UI optional goodies in the ROM but still without AOKP "lets **** everything in" bloat (battery %, power key camera shutter, custom autobrightness levels, T9 dialer). Wanted those on BB, where they were out of question, since BB is more stockish.
- no weird governors, OC or voltages, just ondemand/cfq as on stock, don't use deep idle
So for me, it's a good sweet spot between stock and custom ROM.*
*Disclaimer:
I've used BB for months & AOKP for 2 weeks, both on SimpleKernel, which is basically stock with added BLN&Voodoo. I don't fiddle around with OC/Governors. Those are my observations and I don't intend to debate "why you didn't use "xxkernal v.9302".

About brightness decrease, you need to enable it in extra auto-brightness settings at the bottom.

Screw benchmarks, usage experience counts and it's not measurable.

I'm using CM9. Last rom I tried was AOKP build 32, but I went back to CM9.
Oh haiiii everyone!
I ventured on over from the HTC One X/XL threads a week or so ago and I couldn't be more happy! The guys over there do great work but the phone isn't very rom / root friendly.
Anywho, I had a couple questions ( hope you guys are friendly :silly::good: ) all three aren't really rom specific so I'm throwing the question here.
1. In CM10.2 (lastest nightly) I noticed every time I go into performance > CPU settings the Minimum CPU frequency is set to 1026MHz. So I changed it to 384MHz, quit the settings app went back in and it's set back to 1026MHz. Now here is the kicker; the Current CPU frequency idles at 384MHz despite the minium setting constantly reverting back to 1026MHz. Any thoughts? Is this just a bug aka it says its set to 1026MHz but really the minimum setting is 384MHz? I'd assume that to be the answer due to the fact of the current CPU setting sitting at 384MHz.
2. Quick one; Is there any way to install Halo from PA into CM? Easy or difficult, doesn't matter.Although I'm assuming that this isn't nor will it be possible. It seems to be intertwined into PA rom instead of just a system apk.
3. Another quick one, is there anyway to enable performance tab in settings in the latest ParanoidAndroid build? I enable developer settings but still couldn't get the performance section to show in the settings. NOW I think that they might have removed it? I read somewhere that they removed themes (understandable they arent really compatible with different DPI settings / PA color settings etc.) but maybe I'm just blind...
Again I'm new here SO HELLO EVERYONE NICE TO MEET YOU ALL I have been waiting to get the N4 for so long, envious of all the N4 roms when I was on the HOXL.
I'm Josh / jfphotox I want to get into theming and maybe a little lite dev eventually!
Cheers everyone!
2. There's no easy way to do this like installing an apk. Halo is intertwined deeply inside of the android framework. There are a couple cm10 roms that have cherry picked halo, if that's what your looking.
3. You're not blind...PA doesn't have any built in performance settings. You can use a third party app like setCPU to do this.

I had a feeling it was deeply intertwined into the rom, which roms cherrypicked halo out? I like CM exactly how it is just want to have the ability to use halo if I want it
And,

P.S. I feel welcomed already
There are a couple of CM roms with halo added. As far as #1 min frequency is at 384. Qualcomm uses mp decision. Every time you touch the screen the cpu ramps up to 1026. It's also part of project butter at work to ensure smooth scrolling and what not. So even though it says 1026 it still goes down to lower frequencies

I've been on stock + xposed since day one and absolutely love it. But all the above you mentioned are lost if you flash CM, which is a big part of why I'd probably never flash an AOSP ROM on this phone. Now, I do believe there are zip files for quick remote and stock LG camera for AOSP. to restore those features. And Knock on/off depends on the kernel being used I believe. But the gain/loss of flashing AOSP over what stock+Xposed offers....just doesnt even begin to be worth it, for me at least.
Knock on works better on cm than stock but knock off doesent work its worth it to me but I love stock android and no bloatware just a matter of what you like

Knock on works. Knock off status bar works and is in settings.
Paek 5.2 kernel is built in and is excellent. BT can cause a crash or freeze while turning on and off.
If you want knock off on the launcher use xblast or g2 setting exposed and nova launcher and you can set it as the double tap settings.
You can also have themes, navbar resize and changes dynamic status bar tiles, active display, immersive mode.
Battery lasts about 12 hours on hard use. Today was 3 hrs of BT and streaming music 15 phone calls. A couple ROM downloads and I was at 60% before I tried paek 5.3 kernel and burned down to 15% in an hour.
Easily a day and is comparable to stock.

Thank you very much, this is what I was looking for!
So you suggest Omni over CM?
I thought that with a custom kernel, battery life would be better than stock, maybe with a bit of unvervolt
I suggest Paranoid Android, Omni, Nameless and Mahdi. Those are the most stable.. At least to me.

I'd go with that.
Kernels have been interesting with stock.
Dorimax Kernel and Furnace I think our our only stock kernels but seriously the stock kernel is pretty clean. Good battery life. I usually run it on interactive but that's just my preference with a 2048 buffer size and noop.
I just installed stock cause I'm going out of town for work this week.
Found the most debloated thing I could and threw down bsleds g2 xposed from the market, xblast from xposed, and google launcher so everything is nice and smooth.
A little bit of everything here.

I installed the new official rom v50020a and are disappointed with performance especially in games. That performance was superior v18a. This rom seemed to me the most powerful than all roms, since the battery is emptied very quickly, especially in stand by. In AnTuTu benchmark 18a give almost 27,000 and v20a less than 24,000. In Real Racing 3 feel the difference. V50020a is final rom for OTA? Performance and battery worse than the first official rom. I think I'll go back to 4.2.2.

If the v18a was superior, why not go back to it instead?
The problem is that the rom v18 of battery empties very quickly in standby. I have to install a custom rom based on v18 with another kernel.

What do you call 'very quickly'? I found it emptied slower than with 4.2.2 in standby with WiFi on.
I set the wi-fi to be turned off when the tablet is in stand by. It is among the settings after installing a new rom.

Did you notice any difference on the screen brightness, gamma values and 7 spots on the bottom?

The battery life is actually better,by nearly 2 hours. I have tested and ran it for 5 days, it's all about your settings. If you have the screen on 50% one day or 65% another day it's always going to fluctuate.
Theres no complaints about the battery life with 18 here, easily I get 2 hours more. Some days 4.

The fix for Watching Amazon Prime is in a thread by, i believe it was Surviveland....
Make sure that you have UNinstalled the flash player installed in your device if you have one installed first and then install the hacked one for compatibility reason.
1) Download Dolphin Browser from the Play Store
[/B]You MUST have Dolphin Jetpack on in the settings to enjoy it.
As far as I have noticed, Dolphin Jetpack better solves the compatibility with flash player, such as crash issue & freeze issue in full screen.
2) Download the hacked flash player HERE: http://goo.gl/MuU9SU
If your device refused to install apk outside Google Play, you need to change your settings in your device (Settings> Securities> Unknown resources) to allow installation of apps from unknown sources.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu>Settings>Web Content>Flash Player) is on.

Unfortunately this guide doesn't work on 4.4.2. Tried on both my G Pad and my Nexus 5 and still no go.

I too would like to know if they fixed the gamma. I'm hesitant to update because I already have things configured they way I like it. I'm thinking I'll hold out for a flashable zip just in case I have to downgrade.

Not sure about gamma as I never tested it. I can tell you that the brightness has been increased and overall the screen looks fine (to me anyways)

Hey there
I'm about to flash a 6.0/M Rom on my Nexus 4 but first I'd like to hear from you how it is so far when it comes to battery life etc?
From what I've read everything seems to work?
Also there are quite a few roms already and I don't know what do load: Frank, Minimal OS, "Fake Nexus Rom"(?), Oneofakind?
Would any AOSP based Lollipop Kernel work? Oh and is there a M Rom that supports to use the volume rocker to change music? I guess Xposed isn't working yet?
Thanks in advance!
In this moment i am using Cataclysm ROM with HellsCore. Cataclysm works fine and it is very fast but sometimes there are some lags and whith HellsCore i have very battery life!! In this rom there is volume rocker and a lot of features... Sorry but i didn't try other M rom!
Thanks so far
I think you missed a word there. You have very ..battery life?
I've used Frank, Unofficial Chroma, Pure AOSP (I think this one is already dead) and Cataclysm . They all are based on AOSP with some added features, at this moment the one with more options/features by far is Cataclysm, Chroma have the menu of features but they are not implemented, just like 8 of them or something like that. Performance is good in all of them, most of the time just like lollipop, and yes there is some lag here an there from time to time but is not the end of the world. Battery life is something else, i am amused, im getting like an extra hour of SO and almost flat lines when not using the phone, i also have Greenify 2.7.1 installed, but i had it on Lollipop and Battery was meh, so it has to be Android M new battery management and stuff. Really Good battery life. Be aware, the is a AOSP bug related to the flashlight, if you turn on your torch from quick settings doesnt matter if you turn in off there is a wakelock that will keep your phone awake until your bateery drains or you fire up the flash with your camera or reboot. Is present in all ROMs at this time.
My current setup:
Cataclysm 11 Oct + 17 oct delta + 20Oct delta (In that Order, they are little zips you have to flash on top of the already installed rom, like an OTA of some sort).
HellsCore kernel b84-M (Has double tap to wake, youll need kernel adiutor to enable it and also tweak the kernel if you wish to - My kernel setup has no weird ****, it works out of the box, all stock, ondemand governor).
Extras:
Double Tap on Statusbar to Sleep Enabler for Android M MOD (Only for AOSP Roms)
New Adreno Drivers (October 2015)
I guess both will be added to roms eventually, but at the moment there not. Only Franks rom has the new adreno driver.
Sorry for my english.
Awesome that was detailed thank you! Hm the flashlight bug is bad .. I use it a lot. Maybe I will wait for a fix then
I'm thinking about trying http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/fake-nexus-rom-nexus-4-t3230268
It claims that torch bug is fixed and other bonuses like Camera can launch via double tap power key, adreno drivers, and aldy kernel.
That sounds pretty good as well. Btw are there any informations about xposed and Marshmallow? It took some time for Lollipop but maybe the differences now aren't as big?

Yesterday Cataclysm got a hotfix that solves that problem with the flashlight.
