[Q] Roms NOT affected by 4.2.* issues

Hi,
I got a Nexus 10 device and get random reboots, bluetooth- and Wifi-problems and wonder if those problems are solved in other ROMs.
I've looked at ParanoidAndroid, CM10.1, AOKP and so on and they seem(?) premature for now? They all seem lovely though and after some time when they had the chance to mature I'll test all of them anyway
Is Nexus 10 a too new device so no one had the time to release a stable(Released as Stable by group) version of any Original Rom Dev?

Sv: [Q] Roms NOT affected by 4.2.* issues
Anyone...?

I'm running CleanROM 2.0 and no reboot issues. I strongly believe that Chrome Browser is a major culprit with the reboot issue. CR does not contain Chrome, uses AOSP browser by default.

How about the bluetooth and wifi issues?

Depends what you mean. Some people have problems connecting to some hardware, others dont. It is somewhat of a 4.2 issue, but it also has to do with hardware compatibility and what version of hardware you have for your bluetooth. You might just be SOL.
random reboots seem to happen a little bit from 4.2 issues but also from software compatibility issues from things that dont work well with the new system. So it will just take time there as well.

Thank you very much!

I don't have any WiFi issues. Don't use Bluetooth

I had some major issues with 4.2 on my nexus 7, which I was able to solve by flashing cm10.1 - this is 2 months ago. When I got the nexus 10 a month ago, I kinda immediately flashed cm10.1 and have not had 1 issue with it so far.... just my 2c

I've had reboot problems with the stock ROM and the Official AOKP ROM with the kernel it comes with. I've never had issues with bluetooth and my only problem with wifi is that it is not nearly as strong as my Galaxy S2's wifi. I've had no problems with Paranoid or CM, but I used ktoonsez's kernel with those. Right now, I am using Task650's AOKP with ktoonsez's kernel and it's running flawless. I have a lot of love for them as I use their stuff on my phone too. As far as I can tell, the problems are in the kernel.

CM10.1, and Franco kernal here with absolutely no problems...

I'm stock rooted build JOD40F without freezes .

Slow wifi speeds after a while

Though i'd make a thread with the problem slow wifi speed after a while. I'm on the DMC3 fw.
If there is a thread (i've searched...) you can delete this.
So what can we do about this?

Well I don't usually report problems but I guess I'm facing this one! Downloading stuffs from Play Store, starts at full speed, within 5 seconds speed cuts by 1/4th. Is this a problem with custom ROMs? I don't remember having this problem on Stock ROM, however I can't be sure as my ISP is having a long run problem atm!
PS: Confirming that it is my ISP. WiFi speeds are same both on custom ROM/kernels, and Stock ROM and kernel.

Are you using bluetooth when the wifi slowdowns occur?

Never had bluetooth on.

I have bluetooth, GPS and WIFI on, and still works flawlessly. Just defective units, perhaps? I'm using stock now.

I can't say I've ever experienced this either. Does it happen with all wifi access points?

WiFi usage

Hey there Xda people.
I dont know if this was already answered (i searched and found nothing). Why the WiFi signal is poor on EVERY custom rom?. I know that the developers makes its best with his custom roms and I love that, but why the WiFi is horrible in custom roms that in stock?

I've actually experienced significant better WiFi reception on CM10.1 than on Stock 4.1.2
EX. With CM, I'm able to receive a signal on my deck, with good speeds as well, while I simply cannot receive a signal on stock.
Does anyone else experience this?

One of the updates that Verizon made to Stock was increase the range of the Wifi. Maybe you didnt install that update while using stock.

The reason stock runs better... Well... Sometimes runs better... Is because the kernel is being developed by people with more inside access than any custom ROM dev could ever have (with the exception of that whole Oppo+CM thing...), and they're getting paid to work 8 hours a day to develop it well. Since the ROM devs don't have access to the inside kernel data, they basically have to make a graceful hack. Which sometimes doesn't work well. FWIW, I have perfectly fine WiFi access on custom ROMs, not enough of a difference to notice.

My WiFi has been better on 4.3 over stock. Gaming is a huge improvement over stock. I will never go back.

Nexus 7 on Cm 11

Hello guys, I currently own a nexus 2nd Gen it's rooted and running the latest cm 11 nightly build. Sometimes it make a buzzing noise while I'm listening to music or watching videos or it froze and restart itself that happen at least 3-4 times a day. I was wondering if that happens anyone else and how to fix it
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I've never had the buzzing but I don't use the speakers much.
The freezing and rebooting I have had both on stock and cm11. Best uptime I'd get was ~24 hours.
After flashing the latest Glitch kernel it's been up for ~106 hours. All location services turned on, syncing, google now, same apps etc.
Too soon to tell I guess but definitely an improvement.

I thought I was the only one it's getting really annoying, other roms are fine

I sometimes have buzzing sound for a short period of time. But I am using stock rooted 4.4.2.

I get this too, also happens in games

happened to me only on stock cm11

I ask this everywhere but does OTG work with latest cm11 nightly for flo? It is important for me since I cannot flash any other kernel to get it working

Can you tell all your glitch kernel settings?

Buzzing Noise fix
Flash the stock Android 4.4.2 ROM back on your Nexus 7 and the install Xposed.
Why would you need a custom version of 4.4.2 on your tablet that's already running 4.4.2 when the Xposed Framework works just as well.
EDIT - I've had no problems with buzzing noises or freezing on stock rom with unlocked bootloader and rooted.

Yup - same here. I've actually experienced this on both CM 10 and CM 11. The audio distortion out of the speakers is horrible. CM roms are the only ones that have this problem. I wonder if it has something to do with DSP Manager that's included with the CM Roms??
I agree with previous posters in this thread too - Stock rooted 4.4.2 is all you really need. Been flawless on my N7 2013.

I have the same issue
It usually happens when I watch a video from youtube or twitch. My tablet buzzes like kind of similar to someone getting an answer wrong in a game show.
I just need to go back to stock.

Can confirm that there's a buzz sound and a 1-3 second freeze using the CM11-M2 build.
After flashing the Jan 24 CM11 build, and the glitch kernel (using all stock settings except overclock to 1.7ghz cpu and 500mhz GPU), buzz sound is gone and all is well.

It happened to me with latest cm nightlies, and with all of them I had freezes and hangs. I went back to stock rom with elementalx kernel and i don't have any of these issues. I think cm overall is less stable and faster than stock rom. it's good for non nexus devices, but with nexus is better to stick to stock. I've tried other ROMs as well, nothing compares to stock in performance and stability.

Glitch kernel + cm nightlies = awesome mode
Still have more than 30% battery left

I have a problem with play store. It doesn´t load all the app images. Some of them are just blank while browsing apps.
I have tried latest nightlies, clearing app data and I have even tried a factory reset and I am still experienceing the same problem.
Anyone else having this problem?

[Q] Huge problems with SM-N910F on TW, can somebody help??

Hey, I have got a Note 4 SM-N910F, with many bugs on the official firmware.
On 4.4.4 I had problems with the keyboard, sometimes it lagged or did not respond as quick as it should.
I am facing also random lags when browsing through the app drawer or the homescreen, as well as scrolling in the browsers is very laggy.
Youtube, or video media in general are lagging, it's no fun to watch a clip on the phone.
The biggest problem is the wifi.
When I try to activate the wifi it takes up to 20 seconds till it's turned on and when i turn the wifi off and turn it on again, the phone forgets all the wifi connection i set up.
The fingerprint sensor isn't working as well.
Also after I updated the phone to 5.0.1 the issues were still there, nothing changed.
I have tried a custom rom just to be sure whether it's a hardware problem or just an issue in the software.
I flashed the unofficial CM 12 rom: it worked perfect.
No lags, no wifi problems.
I have been using the Exynos version SM-N910C before on 4.4.4 and it worked perfect and very smooth.
Please help, i have tried everything and nothing worked for me.
I did tons of factory resets and re-flashed the firmware, nothing helped.
Same issues.
I would be very happy if someone could help me, I'd like to have the same experience as I had before on the Exynos Note 4.
PLEEASSEE HEEELP

Nobody helps....

Try to flash a different kernel like Nadia, also you should try custom TW ROM.

Can you give me a good lollipop custom rom with no hugh differences to the stock rom?
Ok i'll try that kernel, by the way is it lollipop compatible?
Thanks
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app

I personally don't use lollipop TW, so I can't tell you which rom is closest to stock.
And Nadia Kernel does compatible with LL, just make sure you download the LL version.

This note 4 with snapdragon 805 is bad lag too much and heat over 60 c without heavy work
