Hey man I am getting confused about 4.2 cuz first I hear it is going to be key lime pie and now I just read over at DROID LIFE about the SAMSUNG NEXUS 10 with picture's of the device running 4.2 saying that it's a modified version of jellybean what gives.It's nice looking though

So far their saying 4.2 is still JB....but who knows for sure yet. I just anxious to get it, no matter what's its called!

What gives is Jelly Bean just came out. ICS is still JUST rolling out to handsets. Do you think Google would tick off OEMs by calling a minor software revision Key Lime Pie (thus putting most manufacturers 2 updates behind)?
Or maybe it will be Key Lime Pie. Think maybe we should wait until the event and find out?

Yes they are probably right. As jelly bean is a modified version of ice cream sndwich. Just performance enhancements etc but no drastic changes to the ui.

Yeah that's pretty much what I see as well the article says that some of the enhancements will be done to the camera and short cuts to your settings and of course gmail also wifi but mostly it looks the same but here is to hoping

Maybe they should call it a brand new version "Key Lime Pie", maybe some of these manufacturer's should speed up their processes and get the updates out quicker. Although, half the issue is the carriers need to agree as well. We all see how fast the dev community can do it and these manufacturer's have WAY more resources and direct contact to Google.

Skins were horrible, but I'm really liking what OEMs are doing now, this article literally took the words out of my mouth.

From time to time you might feel like that. But it does not mean that you can't tamper with a phone, especially a nexus one.
Yes if I would buy an s4 the only thing that I would is root it just for the sake of TB.
But with the nexus you can do anything and is super easy to return to where you were.
And no counter or avoiding warranty by unlocking the bootloader you just need 3 words to lock or unlock it and of course a backup
I don't say you have to become a crack flasher but trying mods and roms will make you have a better perspective and even convince you that stock is better.
Anyway, everything is up to you.
You can always leave it at stock and wait for that much desired OTA.
Cheers mate

I only flash custom ROM's and Kernels for performance, not so much additional features or looks.
No, I don't feel like this because I own a nexus device.
Kinda off topic question: what does everyone need titanium backup for? I always see people saying "the only reason I root is for TB", but why would you need to backup your apps if your not flashing Roms?

Ice Cream Sandwich was the end of custom ROMs on the phone for me. I have CM on my N7, however, I feel it runs better. I always buy a phone and make it make me flash something else. Since the Galaxy Nexus, I have had no need to do this.

Agreed, it's circular logic. Especially now that game stats/etc will be saved so you can pick your phone or tablet up and still be at the same spot in the game.

Agreed, Android has been closing the gap, if my current ROM/source wasn't available I'd happily rock stock.
I bought a nexus 4 because I love hacking, customizing and bricking my phone and all this stuff, I love it, no regrets, I dont want to go back to touchwiz and timescape...
If stock android had customizable notification toggles built-in I'd probably stay 100% stock. And yes I know there's apps on the market but Ive tried them & didn't like.

I used to feel like this. Back when I had a g2x I flashed because I HAD to frequently. Every ROM would inevitably become unstable and I would find myself looking for a new ROM to flash. Annoying as hell really. My n4 is rooted stock 4.2.2 w/ franco kernel for help with battery drain. I truly yearn for the day that I don't have to do anything to a phone. Not even root. Will the nexus line eventually come pre-rooted as well as unlocked? A man can dream can't he?

I don't feel like I need to install a custom rom with this device. Tweaking it with a few mods gets me what I need. I still don't get why some refuse to mod the phone because they want to get the next ota update. Once it is released, all one has to do is flash a rooted version that should appear here within 24 hours.

This and I want Google to give the option to unlink the bloody notification and call volume. I also want brightness slider in the notification or quick settings, dont understand why no one apart from Samsung considers the importance of the slider.
Oh and did I say battery percentage? While it's not exactly a deal breaker but still does not make any sense why stock android doesn't have it.

Oh man! A former G2x user... that also lives in Central NJ. Remember when we were waiting for the O2x ICS update? No HW acceleration or anything, it sucked.
I don't flash nearly as often as I used to like I did with my G2x. I stick with ROMs for much longer now. I'm happy with CM10.1

I don't understand why it doesn't come pre-rooted. Just like enabling the Developer options, there should be some method needed to enable root, aside from the whole custom recovery custom root solution thing. Normal users aren't exposed directly to root, and power users who need root, can easily enable it. And... new users can root too without the need of those toolkits :good:

i took a liberty to look inside the zip that you flashed.. when you have issues later on(random reboots, etc. theres lots of potential for conflict in that zip), just reflash your rom(and gapps), no need to wipe.

The former, I saw it too when I had an S3. I read it before.
It's less damaging to your battery life compared to Seeder and less placebo than supercharger but it's more intrusive and it messes around with this that are not the source of lags/issues
Most likely it keeps i/o or cpu less in idle state so it performs better, but has a cost in the long run.
Kernels are a much better approach and frankly I had zero lag issues with this phone.

jfi .....kernels mess with governor settings too.
I have the Octa S4 and I have flashed this too, I am using one older version though but it does indeed make your phone somewhat a lot smoother, animation and scrolling, but i'm selling the S4 and returning back to Nexus (S4 Price = Nexus 4 + Nexus 7 Second Gen (?))

Frankly, I'm just going to wait for the 4.3 kernel source to be released and tweaked. I've played with several 4.3 ROMs, but if I can't Swipe2Sleep/Swipe2Wake, there's aren't enough advantages to 4.3 5.0 or 5.5 to make me switch yet. Just my opinion.

There is a bug with how HTC implemented the Android Developer Options in settings. You need to go to Settings/Developer Options/Advanced and turn on animations. Everything will work then.

This. There is no official 5.5 for sprint yet - all of the existing 5.5 roms are ports, and they've all been out a relatively short time. They'll eventually work out the bugs, or Sprint will come out with an official 5.5, and everyone will switch over to that base. Personally, I'm happy running a bug free 5.0 rom until then. Plus, I use the islandia camera theme like all the time and I'm in no rush to lose that.

It happens
I feel like the device is much snappier. I heard battery is supposed to be better with it as well but I can't confirm. The xda app was never the best , now it is almost fluid o.o. or at least noticeably better. What do you have to say ?
i was told to add this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qbko3/art_broken_apps/
edit: I would like to add that the apps i notice this most is for instance, when i use hangouts and i'd right ALOOOOOOOT with someone and then scroll up at a fast rate, it would stutter. Now, this stutter is nearly gone.
XDA - xda app is one of the most noticeable, stutter has been reduced by such a large margin that you'd have to try it yourself to believe it.
G+ would have the occasional hickup when scrolling through news posts. Next stop would be the play store, it used to stutter a lot as well, now it's become a lot better. Just for the hell of it i compared it to my sister's note 2 and the difference is there.
I doubt this is a placebo effect, i'm even considering to make a video as proof with dalvik on and off for the hell of it.

Well, it's kind of obvious, if you want the best experience for now you're going to want to go with the official 4.4, since the developers need their time to work their magic.
I have no crashes, i'm using ART so far cause i could care less about what's app. I'll report in about battery life observations once i've at least had this thing running for a whole day.
Feels really smooth so far; don't use any apps that crash(thankfully) on ART. Hard to tell with the battery as I came off a custom kernel that was picked for low power usage. Like with any new firmware, it usually takes a few days of my phone running before I can really judge things. Got to give all the apps running a little time to muck things up to get a solid feel for real world performance; but I'm hopeful from what the past few hours performance/battery wise.

It's not worth the hassle in my opinion. I couldn't notice any tangible difference, performance-wise. I tried it on SlimKat, though. I may probably give it a second try now on stock but the whole idea of having non-working apps like Whatsapp and TiBu just takes the appealing away for now.
Could this just an elaborate hoax to test the placebo effect of Android optimization? I don't understand the true potential if it.
