How do you find 4.2.2

Hi guys,
I've been reading up on some nexus 7 stuff but I'm pretty new to it and was running 4.1.2 until recently, I see 4.2.2 was released but couldn't see any concrete feedback on how it compares to say custom roms like smoothrom based on 4.2.1. Do you guys find it better than say smooth rom in UI performance and battery? I'm not sure if I should change to 4.2.2 or stick with 4.2.1 custom roms with performance/smoothness tweaks for now.
Thanks

Smoother here.
I found my N7 sped up with 4.2.1 anyway when I cleared up some space. Havn't loaded it down since, so that may be the reason.
The main reason I want back to 4.1, was the broken Bluetooth Audio, but that also seems to be much improved in 4.2.

Will give rooted 4.2.2 stock a shot then, thanks

I've been on 4.2.2 for a few hours and I must say the wireless appears to be erratic! I'm sitting between 2 APs with same SSID so I don't know if the roaming settings are too aggresive...but seems worse than 4.2 was :thumbdown:
I'm hoping Bluetooth is better than it was as my creative headset would constantly go out of sync on 4.2!

I'm running the latest Paranoid Android 4.2.2 nightly and it's running perfect. The Bluetooth works with the flashable zip fix just fine. I use my sixaxis controller with it and it's flawless. Benchmarks are about the same as before, but I don't really pay attention to them. I would recommend updating, I regret not doing it sooner.

I am actually noticing better WiFi performance with 4.2.2. I don't have to use better WiFi anymore, it switches seamlessly between my 2 routers with the same ssid. 4.2.2 made my nexus 7 run a lot smoother and faster, all around it was a good decision to upgrade.

Bluetooth was pretty much screwed on all devices by 4.2.x. I have a Nexus 7 and a HTC One XL, which I used to tether via bluetooth. This worked perfectly when both devices were on 4.1.2. Now the devices pair and the Nexus 7 claims to be using the One XL for internet connectivity, but it doesn't work and says network unreachable when I ping from terminal.
I never use bluetooth audio on my Nexus, but I do use it on my One XL. That's pretty much screwed since 4.2.x as well, with poor quality and crackling. There's a massive google bug report thread on it, which actually looks like I've not got it as bad as a lot of people!
Where do you find the flashable bluetooth fix? Is it just for Nexus 7?

Hi there,
I use stock 4.2.2 with apex launcher and its the most fluent and rapid thing. Scrolling feels so good. I am new to nexus 7 and JB, but from what i have seen so far im loving it.
In terms of web browsing and performance in general its quite good. I had galaxy tab 2 7" before nexus and it just not match the smotherness and performance of the N7. Its impressive.

Kind of agree however not bad having them grouped by their OS either so it's easy for noobs. Plus some of these I forgot about since they don't get much activity.

yea thats why i said i like this one the most of the 3 we have

Why dont i suggest for aokp 4.1.2 add the version from theAPANT. Its completed and more active with all due respect to irx buil.

I can see there is some discord regarding this thread... As someone who has been away for a few/several months largely working with a Galaxy Nexus, I'd like to say I found the organization of this extremely helpful.
while for ages the Exhibit had one or two circa "peach sunrise" now there are so many other threads under the heading
Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G > Galaxy Exhibit 4G Android Development
I can appreciate the nature of this community isn't to spoon feed noobs and those that done't want to do some reading - but when there are soo many projects, many of whom claim in the OP that "everything works" - only to dig in and install to face issues with BT or GPS or etc....???
A master thread with some grid / chart / color coding / a brief overview of projects / or indication of what some safe best bets would be could be most helpful. The arrangement of this thread in particular really brought to light what was happening here as far as what may be most current. I'm thankful for it at a level more advanced people who are here all the time probably don't appreciate.
When there is just sooooo much stuff sometimes it's hard to know where to start. Took me three tries to get something going that actually worked on all the fronts I needed it to. Ended up with the AOIP, which seems an hour or so in to be working beautifully - and thinking I should've tried baked bean too. Slim Bean was a disaster with Bluetooth, otherwise fantastic... but for now I'm very grateful and sticking with something that seems to work at the moment.
Even if this thread is closed - it could/may be a good model for a chart/grid of info to have down the road in others
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohh: and if I could make a suggestion for the OP - put a link to the Jocala thread with the original community ROM and/or the original ROM, at the top, then name the first segment Gingerbread Customs - it keeps the flow of the rest of the chart as the base is the key...this is quite a little nit picking fuss buckety observation...THANK YOU ALL

Why I lOVE 4.3.

4.3 = Preview of Future Polish.
To me, 4.3 is a sneak peak into the Polish that is to come. Little additions like Emoji Keyboard and Individual App Permission Controls (with the help of Permission Manager) come all STOCK on Android 4.3. I currently am using the hybrid.33 Radio and can notice a slight increase in battery life. The whole ROM seems a bit smoother overall, but if this is any look into the future for what Android has in store as far as Polish, I'm all in!

As for the permission settings, it's a hidden feature that can be easily and conveniently accessed with this free app.
I personally love 4.3 for it's increased battery life. I get more SOT than I have ever got on 4.2.2 with custom ROM and kernel!

I love the battery life. This is the first time ever that my phone lasted 24 hrs even with light usage and i had WiFi on almost all the time. It seems to be sleeping very well with WiFi and am still not missing any notifications!

Not bothered about 4.3?

Is it just me or is anyone else not bothered about upgrading to 4.3 yet? The forum is littered with 4.3 questions/issues:
How do I get 4.3
Why have I not got 4.3 OTA yet
How to I get 4.3 OTA
How to I go back to stock to get 4.3
How do I flash 4.3 image
X app is now crashing on 4.3
I have no in call audio in 4.3
How do I get X on 4.3
Which kernel is best for 4.3
... the list goes on.
There's thread duplication everywhere. It's nice to see a new release but the updates seem quite minor to me, the only update I like is the better battery life. I'm quite happy to stay on 4.2.2 until a stable customisable 4.3 ROM and kernel is available.
Am I the only one in this boat?

I think the main plus of 4.3 has to be the addition of TRIM into android.
This will dramatically increase the longevity of devices.

The persistent notification thing is really annoying me, otherwise I'm enjoying it

One of those things, people don't seem to understand that:
- They ought to just be patient and wait for the OTA if they are running stock. It will come.
- With every new release Android there is period of merging, bug fixing, and, of course waiting. Devs overcome the last issue by releasing half-completed ROMs and gradually add more features back in to it with more releases. Often means that you are upgrading in order to have fewer features.
Personally just going to wait until franco.Kernel has all features merged, PA is all complete, and everything is working properly in official releases (eg. the changes for root access). Less hassle, wipe, reinstall, restore, and go back to a phone that was functioning in the same way as it was before.

Touch driver updates are my huge notice. Screen seems much more responsive to me...... That's it though

The improvement in battery life on 4.3 is pretty good. I used to be at a point where it wasn't a whole lot better than my galaxy nexus (so I just used my galaxy nexus for the removable battery), but now I don't mind using my N4 as my daily driver.

im thinking of switching back to cm10.1.2 and matr1x kernel. right now you gotta either stick with 4.3 stock or 4.3 custom rom and kernel but get used to the little bug here and there. i'd say not worth it for 4.3 now. yes it's a bit smoother and battery life is a bit better, but for me all the hassles are not worth it at thr moment. glad there are a lot of people stick to 4.3 custom roms and kernels so they can test those out and report bugs to the devs, but for me to use this phone as a daily driver, im thinking going back to my stable 4.2.2 setup with greater battery life because of the stable custom kernel and uv.
