why dont you just root it and apply OC kernel and get rid of the bloatware? mine runs smooth as hell on stock rom

i'll 2nd the mikshift rom and also the bcnice oc kernel (& setcpu) after loading the rom
the processor runs at 250'ish mhz when not being used then jumps up to a nice snappy 1.5ghz undervolted any time its being used
the speeds are completely configurable go as high or as low as you like under certain conditions or keep it stock at a constant 800mhz

Whats an OC kernal?

OC stands for over-clocking, so a kernel that has the ability to be over-clocked, aka, run faster than the factory settings

^This is what I am running and I have enjoyed it thus far. Stable so far, I did get a couple really minor graphic glitches (possibly unrelated but was at 1.8ghz) but all around it runs great at 1.8.

Any Battery issues? I'm thinking of applying an OC Kernel but not if it drains my battery too much.

The kernels are undervolted...where the voltage of the processor is lowered to have better battery life and performance..so its better for you..even if you stay running at 806mhz

I second KILO, I know some people hate the Sense UI but there are alot of people that like it. My wife specifically got this phone just for Friend Stream. Root + Stock Rom + OC Kernel is really a great combo and verry stable. Getting rid of the bloatware will make you feel good, but the phone runs well with it, so it is not essential. However every sprint phone I get the first thing to go is Nascar and Football app, ESPN is better imho.
I personally like the AOSP look and feel

Few Questions From New User

Im getting nexus 7 in few days and here are my questions:
1. Which kernel you would recommend?I want best performance to be able play games like modern combat 4,nova 3 @ +30-40fps
2. Should i stay with stock ROM or not?If not what you 'd recommend?
3. Do i must have credit card to get 25$ present from google to buy apps in playstore?Does paypal fits?
4. Can i break my device by installing ,using kernels,roms with high voltages?
Thanks.
P.S. I would like to get over 7000 at quadrant benchmark.

1. Franco Kernel is rock solid and has a good balance of performance/battery life.
2. Up to you, but if you like being able to change things, I'd recommend PARANOIDANDROID. You can change between phablet/tablet UI at will. More customizations are coming as well!
3. Not sure, sorry.
4. This device is almost unbrickable -- just read the instructions of the OP for each thing you do and be very methodical and you should be fine. Remember to READ READ READ!
And read!
Enjoy XDA

I recommend you spend the first 30 days on the stock rom.
Just unlock the boot loader (wipes memory) before anything else, and root it if you like.
If you don't know what stock is like, you won't be able to appreciate any differences in custom roms.
As far as I know, the $25 bonus early adapter program ended back in September roughly.

Thanks for the answers.I think that i will stay with stock ROM.But does Paranoid ROM improves overall performance?Waiting more offers for kernels .

Ehh it's more for customization. SmoothROM has great performance though.

Forgot to mention that i will have Nexus 7 32gb 3G version.Does it matters for ROMs and kernels?

Oh, yes -- check the 3G development forum then.

What if i won't use 3G function does that still matter?And what will happen if i will try install ROM or kernel which doesn't support 3g?
3G is important with ROMs only or with kernels too?

The structure is a bit different on tilapia (3G N7) than grouper (WiFi N7). So yes, you should only install ROMs from the 3G forum.

How about kernels?I must install kernels only from 3G forum?And N7 3G is more powerful then simple N7?

About the same power, just a bit different internals due to the cellular antenna. I know some Kernels are for both 3G and WiFi -- they'll be labeled.

Thanks for help.How about elite kernel is it safe to run @ 1.8ghz 650gma for daily use?And will it work for 3G?
Waiting for more kernels suggestions.
P.S. Clicked thanks button for everyone who repplied and tried to help.

Before flashing an overclock kernel try your games with stock, you might find oc is unnecessary. I have yet to find a game that lags and I'm complete stock. In my personal experience across a multitude of android devices custom ROMs don't provide any performance gains over stock, simply added features (most perceived performance gain is pure placebo), though there are some ROMs that decrease performance.
As for kernels, the only area I've ever seen a truly noticeable increase is in benchmarks, games play the same and overall fluidity feels the same.
But if you want rock solid performance with minor added features and big bench scores I'd recommend a combination of rasbean ROM and trinity kernel. That and stock are all I'll run on my g'nex while keeping the 7 stock for now.
Edit: Rasbean doesn't indicate support for 3g version.

Be careful playing with overclocking... That and high voltages can definitely mess up a device.

How can overclocking mess up device?I heard that device only can reboot or something like this,nothing dangerous?

One of the major things that can kill hardware....heat.

Over clocking and over voltage both make the device run hotter.
Too much heat destroys the chips.
Try water cooling...

So what kernel should i use and @ what cpu frequency and @ what gpu frequency to run games as nova 3 ,modern combat 4,asphalt 7 @ +40fps and be safe for hardware?

Hells core kernel..

Hey guys..
I am a kind of guy who likes to test all kernels myself to decide which one is best for my usage..
I notice a lot of people using "Hell's Core" kernel on their nexus..
I googled and did not find a english forum for hell's core..
I generally go through the last 3-4 pages of a kernel thread to get to know the issues in that kernel.. but as I cannot do so for hell's core kernel.. I request hell's core kernel users to please mention your issues and expereances of using that kernel..
This can be a good english reference for people wanting to know more about hell's core..
and yeah google translate sucks..

Thank you so much for your effort towards helping.. But I think you are a bit confused. I am talking about "Hell's Core" and not ultimate hell's core... For your information if you do not already know, its mentioned in the UHC thread
This Kernel is a rework of Hells-Core !

Also for you and anybody else the German thread is here -> http://www.android-hilfe.de/custom-...ss15j-jwr66v-hells-core-b38-19-09-2013-a.html

I've been using it for about 4 days now. I have noticed improved battery life. With regular usage, and not a lot of gaming, it extends the time I need to connect to a charger by about 1.5 - 2 hours (vs stock kernel).
As far as speed goes I haven't noticed any improvement but the nexus 4 is already quite fast. Also the kernel doesn't allow overclocking so you should expect about the same performance as the stock kernel.
I'm using intellidemand cpu governor at 192Mhz min value.

I would like to try this kernel as well (on NEO 013 now) Is there not a English thread for it? I am running latest PA rom and want to give it a shot, where can I find it?

I am on pa 3.99-rc2 running hells core b38.
everything works fine, very smooth - battery drain is ok - better than stock.
here is the link

PA is jwr so use anykernel.zip for jss based roms use AOSP.zip
If you choose wrong kernel,you won't brake anything,but you'll have screen tearing.
I'm using hellscore for a while,great balance on baterry live and performance.
My recommendations for hellscore.

did you say hells kernel?

[Need a Rom Suggestion]

Hey guys​.. I'm currently using Invicta 26/04 build but I'm having lags will playing games. (Even Clash Royale lags and I have strong network). Can anyone suggest me a good rom which can run some games bit smoothly compared to my current one?
Thanks

Before changing the ROM, give LSpeed Mod from Paget96 a try (Playstore). It has a performance profile for gaming.

I recommend using the ElementalX kernel with a slight overclock.
Different ROMs shouldn't give particularly different performance results- nearly every single ROM for the G4 is LineageOS based (including Invicta), and thus will offer generally identical performance.

Help! GLTools XDA x Mobile Legends x Samsung S4 Setup

Anyone found a solution to stuttering/lag graphics during gameplay? Maybe S4 Hard to cope with new requirement of MLBB.

I played the game pretty smoothly on my S4. No performance hacks or anything. I was on a custom ROM though.
Are your graphic settings set to low? Can't expect the S4 to run the game on High.
